Actually, that's a good point - why is there no HN IRC?
Oh, interesting, I didn't realize that's how it worked. Thanks for the additional context around this. Guess it's not as upending as I thought it could be.
Restaurants will end up (and already do) buy systems that keeps track of Bluetooth and WiFi MACs that walk in the place. Your cell phone has to tell your carrier where it is for calls and data to be routed to your handset. You were picked up on a dozen security cameras dumping their feeds to "the cloud" walking to the restaurant. Your license plate was caught on another dozen cameras driving to the restaurant.

You were already caught up in the Panopticon. Refusing to use a credit card at the restaurant is a completely empty gesture and provided you no extra privacy.

I'm not saying give up on privacy or anything but pick your battles.
I think your right, the tricky part is always navigating these technological changes.

If you imagine life in colonies here around 1776, there was no photographs to doctor, no Zapruder film, or Nixon tapes, and yet newspapers existed and people lived in a relatively high trust society. People generally had faith in contracts, the law, and the government; but not a lot of ways, as an individual, to verify much at all.

I think eventually we’ll have to go back to that model of simply picking individuals and institutions to trust. Hopefully it’ll make people more selective.
This is a great idea. It might be even better to block them at the DNS level via a hosts file or similar, so that you don't waste your time when an otherwise trusted site links you to them.
Many hotels (at least in the US) will treat your booking as a second or third rate customer. I've had many never see my booking, or say sorry they're out of space, or otherwise refuse to honor it. And they'll say sorry, we can't help with third party companies, contact Expedia instead (which owns Hotwire).

You'll eventually get a refund from Hotwire if that happens, after waiting to speak with outsourced tech support. I've found it to not be worth the hassle of possibly not having anywhere to stay that night and ruining plans.

I've used Hotwire for more than a decade and only stopped in the past few years because it's happened so many times.
you could share info on the domain the app is for, the tech, the issues and challenges, the customers, the learnings, the sales and profit or loss, or anything else.
"Deportation deals with Rwanda"?
No, because the unicode committee screwed it up and rejected fixes for it. So, it lowercases correctly, but not uppercases.
(Side note: on TV, the lawyer says, "Objection, your Honor! Counsel is leading the witness!"

I've been to real trials. They don't bother with all that verbiage. "Leading!" is all they have to say.)
The comment about supporting podcasts in the Readme is a bit weird, since many podcasts (and all the ones I listen to) are available with an open RSS stream. Sure, Spotify-exclusives won't be available, but it does not say that.
There is in my head a vague concept of a minimal corporate API.

Where there is a (global?) standard of data access - like

For emp in biz.hr.employees.current: print emp.401K.contribution

I mean something like this exists for SAP (probably), but I imagine there is some FOSS version waiting out there that is the POSIX of organisational APIs

How it’s implemented is almost irrelevant. But it’s existence means management become software literate, means that companies won’t waste half their software devs doing things like reinventing ETL tools

It just seems a good idea
Nobody has ever said they’d consider a Nissan Altima unless they had no other options.
I was under the impression American companies already have to maintain 2 sets of books anyways.

After all, the IRS doesn't use GAAP.
"Billions can't make the images in their heads real to protect the class privilege of a few hundred thousand professional artists worldwide?"

I thought about that extensively before I wrote it down.

If you think it is flawed explain why, please.
I genuinely have no opinion. I like to use a vintage amplifier with a couple of beefy bookshelf speakers. I run a couple of Heco Celan GT302s with an AKAI AM-2850.

It's a very well balanced system for my needs and room size. That's a pretty nifty setup for me.
I'm sure the mindset exists everywhere, but others are not associated with a person-brand that puts it into the center.

Being German I can't say much about others, but German luxury might be the least similar. Based no doubt on there having been a time when generational wealth was going all in on understatement not by choice, but because showing off would have inspired curiosity about how exactly that wealth found its way into the second half of the 20th century. And then with the tone being set, those who actually did make their fortune post-war followed the pattern.
This was just a random German online book seller that are connected to a major distribution system. I don't know how it is elsewhere in the world, we in Germany have just a fe major distributors. I remember when publishing my PhD thesis I could chose if I wanted a ISBN and allow global distribution, when self publishing on Amazon (was much cheaper than any other options that required my to buy a batch). Actually small publishers have been living a lot of PhD theses in Germany, but nowadays electronic publication is allowed and not everyone has boxes of their manuscript in the basement as it used to be.
I see this as exceptionally unlikely in most legal systems.

"Dear Court, this suit that is brought against us is going to make the next case that comes in so much harder. Next time we're going to challenge everything you as the court and law enforcement ask for and this will lead to the bad guys getting away. This could mean less funds for your next reelection. All we were doing was acting in good faith giving the legal system what it needed to be efficient".
> There is a difference between short-term and long-term storage.

True. But there's no reason you can't use both.

So the "smooth out daily variation" and "store energy to address seasonal changes" are 2 problems that can be attacked independently. Maybe some solution(s) may be useful for both jobs, but this is not necessary.

I suspect in most cases, batteries will be more practical / economical for short-term storage. For long-term storage (or transporting energy across the globe) methanol is just one of many options.
This resonates with me. I have a few zeros, 3’s and 4’s for random things (nerves projects, dns, bastion host etc) but the price point now puts it squarely in the “I better have a good use case for this” rather than “I want to tinker around and if it ends up in a drawer no big deal” camp.
Pi 5 is the first Pi I did not buy. I was always the early adopter of all Pi’s but that ended with 4.

For me, the killer was a combo of 3 things:
1. Too expensive relative to performance.
2. Availability of quite decent N100 (and similar) boxes with expandable memory and storage.
3. Not interested in Pi that should be actively cooled.

I always wished the Pi had eMMC storage but it never happened for the non-compute module versions.

I still have a few Pi’s around the house and they are plenty powerful for their purpose.
Unless you stop at 0kph you are not getting nowhere. Keeping enough buffer between cars improves traffic instead as it is abrupt stopping which backpropogates through traffic. If there is enough space for cars to change lanes safely the entire mass can go at a constant speed. That might seem slower but it provides better throughput.

The trouble is that individual drivers optimize for perception, leading to a tragedy of the commons situation.

Computers are just fast calculators, right?

Cars are just faster horses, right?

Ships are just bigger canoes, right?

Photographs are just quicker made paintings, right?

Or… perhaps there is something different which makes practical what hasn’t been practical before? AI propaganda is the car of the propaganda horse of days past.
What a reductive way to describe learning art. The similarities are merely surface level.

> Given that there is no comprehensive model for how humans actually learn things, that would be an unfeasible requirement.

That is precisely why we should not be making this comparison.

The article mentions that author wanted to see if the orange pi 5 plus could be the successor to the Pi4.
Daniel from "mid-western Germany", very nice to have virtually met you. I'm "the guy from southern Sweden".

Pretty darn cool service, this. Thx so much to the creator for showing this to HN.

Never thought I'd do a Omegle-like encounter with anyone. But here I am having done it and feeling quite enriched by the experience :D
My main complaint about QR codes used like this is that at most restaurants I have been to will link to a pdf file that you then have to pinch-zoom all around the document to read it on your small phone screen - a bad UX.
All the other non-left joins are just syntactic sugar and can be expressed using only left join…?

As far as max size goes, 64 bits plus data per piece seems to be the right path. Especially if you huffman the pawns to be 3 bits each while other pieces are 4 bits.

The grandparent method gets pretty bloated when you start promoting.
Could look into mirroring something like a package repo for a linux distro. Could offer devs of any software you use free hosting. Host any number of services like mastodon or searx, etc.

Two things to remember is legal liability and security, I host some things on my connection but everything is piped in via proxy from a cheap VPS and is throttled and has a clamp least badness happen. As for liability I'd read up on local laws, it gets tricky.
There's no such thing as fair use until you get to court (as a legal defense). Then, the court decides whether it is fair use or not. They may or may not agree with you. Only a court can determine what constitutes fair use (at least in the US).

So, if you are doing something and asserting "fair use," you are literally asking for someone to challenge you and prove it is not fair use.
Hyperdrama
You have to be a lot clearer about what you mean by continuous here. An LLM technically does not produce a continuous function on the reals because its inputs are floating point numbers with finite precision. Any function on discrete inputs like this has an extension to the reals which is continuous, just imagine joining all the discrete points up with lines.

So then your claim wouldn't be about the limits of LLMs themselves, but on the limits of systems that do not take continuous inputs. The question then is do you think that humans take in continuous input?? Given that physics seems to be discrete at the low level, this suggests to me they don't, but I don't know enough to be sure.
It's an interesting segment, especially now that Intel N100 machines are out. But it essentially depends on what you want to do, and what use/need you have for ARM hardware.

Me, I write fairly low-level stuff that runs on ARM (for kicks), so having one of these as a server/development sandbox makes a ton of sense (even though I have Macs and VMs and whatnot, some things you can only do with hardware).

I grant that you won't find normal people filling their closets with these. But when you walk past, say, a phone exchange, a 5G base station, or any other of hundreds of invisible machines out there, they'll be running a variation of these boards (perhaps slower and dumber, but soon ramping up to this kind of thing), because Intel lost the embedded market years back.
I had this argument with a PhD. I debated it in my head for awhile and just came to the conclusion that it's mostly that people who think hardwork is the best trait is most a self fulfilling prophecy. Accepting that to get to C You have to do AB is absolutely going to make you believe that the work is necessary. Then along comes someone who just hates doing B. definitely they're going to be viewed as lazy, but to want to optimize B, you have to be lazy.

So, what you ultimately have to accept is some hybrid thought process and red/blue roleplay to find optimized workflow, process and the rest.

it's just not a useful dichotomy.
I think people 100% have the right to use this on their images, but:

> simply acquiring only training data you have permission to use

Currently it's generally infeasible to obtain licenses at the required scale.

When attempting to develop a model that can describe photos for visually impaired users, I had even tried to reach out to obtain a license from Getty. They repeatedly told me that they don't license images for machine learning[0].

I think it's easy to say "well too bad, it doesn't deserve to exist" if you're just thinking about DALL-E 3, but there's a huge number of positive and far less-controversial applications of machine learning that benefit from web-scale pretraining and foundation models - spam filtering, tumour segmentation, voice transcription, language translation, defect detection, etc.

This thing would be great for a low-power NAS, but no mainline kernel support, no buy :/
Worth trying but I doubt it unless we establish a right to train.
Exactly, and equally critically -- the death provision.

Given we're on the first generation to purchase licenses-instead-of-physical, it will be some years before this starts to snowball.

But when it does, I expect the mismatch between customer expectations and company policies are going to make for some bad PR.

"Grandmother left me her collection of music, and then Amazon took it away" isn't a rosy headline.

And I refuse to believe that most streaming media/game services don't already have actuaries in their pricing departments, and so have already thought very hard about this.
It’s not your responsibility to make people behind you happy.

It is your responsibility to maintain a safe distance between you and other vehicles.

I’d be surprised if traffic regulations in your area don’t talk about minimum safe distances. Not maintaining those to 1) get somewhere faster and 2) avoiding being honked at by some psycho, kinda sounds risky.
Are you sure? I believe there was a big recall for at least one model of car during COVID due to the chip shortage + impending 3G shutdown.
You are not priced differently if you order from a menu obtained by a QR code.

It seems people are mixing up qrcode linked menus with online ordering. These are 2 different things.
Sewage treatment plants collect way way more than that per hour.
The same for me. I use Wireguard to connect to VM in Netherlands and to VM in a local cloud. Didn't notice any problems.
Oh, I do. Tailgating vs efficiency.
That's gonna be anything with self-driving since that by law they have to check if your eyes are on the road.

To be clear, I am also very uncomfortable with the idea of being monitored by my own car, but I think that's how it's gonna become normalized.
People believing lies or not isn’t the problem. The problem is that lie to truth ratio, admittedly not low enough even today, will rapidly approach 1. Finding anything trustworthy will be impractical, so people will stop trying.

This is very scary. Being able to tell what’s true underpins western democracies. With everyone having plausible deniability from everything we’re going to have to… change things.
But it doesn't exist as a means of extracting wealth. It exists because otherwise you could avoid the entire taxation system by just "giving gifts" for every transaction. Many seemingly odd taxes exist for the same reason.
Why not just tell them honestly? I can't really imagine what law you'd be breaking, I doubt anybody thought to make one against this.
Making a profit off variations of someone's work isn't covered under fair use.

Scientific community has a pretty strong consensus that this is not science. It's pretty clear cut.

We're not even talking about cancelling it, just about showing the contextual information that the information presented is in a stark conflict with the scientific consensus.
Nightshaded images aren't intended for portfolios. They're mean to be uploaded enmasse and scraped later.
Echoing another commenter: I’ve never activated the emergency braking function in 6 years of driving my Honda. A warning chime rarely, but never the brakes. Never in various rentals, either. You may be driving badly.
I recently discovered PocketBase (through HackerNews,
no less..) and have fallen in love with its simplicity and ethos.

I've been tinkering with it over the last week, but have yet to hear of someone using it in production.

I'd love to hear more about your use case, and any other thoughts you can share when using PocketBase.
Nor was I referring to the quality of the search functions on those sites but rather to the quality of the content they provide - the very content you just dubbed the good Web content we deserve. Wikipedia does have some good content but it is a steaming pile of ${excrement} when it comes to anything even remotely politically contentious as those articles tend to be hijacked by activist editors who allow nothing but their own narrative to remain. For such articles the talk and history pages are far more informative than the agitprop in the article.

archive.org does not editorialise content so they are the better example here. They may be selective in which content they archive but I have not yet noticed any specific bias there - which I consider to be a good thing.
ridiculous, overblown, and not much to see. just a typical prompt engineering.
The gradient on the bat has blocks in it instead of being smooth.
Then set minimum standards for data requests, possibly in law, if not via the European idea of a data commissioner.

Then two things

0. Persue companies that screw up like this. I mean the SEC strikes terror into the hearts of the Boards of some of the worlds richest companies so it’s feasible

1. Fucking prosecute the actual criminals! Yea companies should put more effort in. So raise the floor so no one feels doing the right thing leaves them at a disadvantage- but also, this is very much a blame the banks for having cash in the safe during a robbery. The robbers need to be prosecuted- and the companies need to think of data like cash in transit - needs much better protection than they currently do
> not a function, but a value calculated from some other values

The term of art is "an expression" [0]. And you can also differentiate expressions with respect to their variables. It's a perfectly supported construction in all symbolic computer algebra packages. No need to assign an (arbitrary) ordering to your variables in order to differentiate with respect to them.

I guess you could use this opportunity to update your dependencies and target the latest SDK version.
Yet the copyright office has already stated that getting an AI to create an image for you does not have sufficient human authorship to be copyrighted. There's already a legal distinction here between this "tool" and tools like photoshop and cameras.

It's also presumptive to assume that AI tools have these fair use protections when none of this has actually been decided in a court of law yet. There's still several unsettled cases here.
>My issue with this line of argument is that it’s anthropomorphizing machines. It’s fine to compare how humans do a task with how a machine does a task, but in the end they are very different from each other, organic vs hardware and software logic.

There's an entire branch of philosophy that calls these assumptions into question:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posthumanism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antihumanism

>Martin Heidegger viewed humanism as a metaphysical philosophy that ascribes to humanity a universal essence and privileges it above all other forms of existence. For Heidegger, humanism takes consciousness as the paradigm of philosophy, leading it to a subjectivism and idealism that must be avoided.

>Processes of technological and non-technological posthumanization both tend to result in a partial "de-anthropocentrization" of human society, as its circle of membership is expanded to include other types of entities and the position of human beings is decentered. A common theme of posthumanist study is the way in which processes of posthumanization challenge or blur simple binaries, such as those of "human versus non-human", "natural versus artificial", "alive versus non-alive", and "biological versus mechanical".
But none of this addresses the violation of trust that comes with a company having shitty internal controls and shitty auditing on users' data.

Absolutely agree.

Yeah, sadly those millions of people don’t matter in the grand scheme of things and were never going to profit off their work long term
>Unfortunately many bookstores had to close down because of giants like Amazon.

At least around where I live, this wasn't a single-step process. What happened was that big bookstores (both chains and local) started pushing out the mom and pop indies. And then they themselves complained as Amazon in particular ate their lunch.

I really did like going into town to do various shopping, in particular bookstore (new and used) browsing, once or twice a month. On the other hand, I can't say I hate instant ebook delivery or a physical copy in a day or two if that's what I want for some reason.
I agree that it's not strictly that NASA engineers are better engineers, but I do think there's part of this that's both cultural and becomes actual capability - I think even if you gave most engineering organizations the budget and mandate that NASA has, they still wouldn't be able to pull off something like Webb because they don't have the practice of it*. Capacity both builds and atrophies over time, and most places don't work to that standard often enough to maintain the capability to do so even if they wanted to.

(*I don't necessarily mean the practice of shooting a rocket into space and launching a telescope, but the ability to build an object that can perform that exactly to its specifications under those kinds of circumstances.)
Of course. That's the business model, together with Premium.
Is this utilitarianism?
You're conflating knowledge of specific subject areas with generalized intelligence, including the ability to learn and metacognition.
You are 200% correct. I intended to use the N5105 for comparison, but it lacks the right instruction set--and I do end the article mentioning the N100 as something I'd like to compare with.

The RK3588 designs stood out to me as having a very nice PCIe layout (the RK3588s, for instance, doesn't), and that is one of the main reasons I wanted to test the Orange Pi 5+.
I imagine a force-feedback exo-suit that turns you into a mime, but with sensation. It won’t necessarily give you a punch in the face, but could afford resistance and virtual heft to some virtual objects, and would have been an interesting scene in an Iron Man movie.
Got it, in my opinion the structure is likely to mislead people because it doesn’t make clear that it refers to ‘one-to-one’ relationships at the outset (in fact not even, it deals with the cases of one-to-one and one-to-none) - it only refers to ‘left join’.
