I've seen the same thing with regards to A/C units in vehicles in Manhattan.

It's actually great, rates in NH are low because residents need to be conviced to purchase instead of being forced to subsidize insurance companies.
"Of course, we might fail. If that happens, well, we can actually see what that future looks like. Cory Doctorow, blogger and science fiction writer, coined the pungent word, "Enshittification" for it. By this, he means the fall off in the quality of online sites and information."

But I wonder why newsrooms do not see the potential silver lining in the long-run? If the open Web becomes an AI-fueled garbage bin, as it certainly seems, it would seem reasonable to expect that the value of quality sources of information would increase and not decrease, provided that these sources are either technically or judicially blocked from feeding into the AIs.

Yeah, I think, even at the most facial level, the output from an LLM or visual generative model is nothing like what you get as a search result, which is really only an index.

Maybe you can provide us with an argument as to why you think it's so obvious that they are similar?
One annoying things with twins is that most doctors are clueless about their development differences..

At some point in time our twin boys didn't talk much and didn't interact much with other people?
Doctors: they may be autistic, you have to test them, some test later: they are autistic --> panic and a lot of reading later:
doctor, this big phone study in England has shown that twins (especially boys) speak at a later age. Couldn't this be the explanation? No, let's prepare specialised training..

Of course as a parent, you cannot take the risk so you do the specialised training, you are destabilised, etc. And .. finally our kids are 100% "normal"!

False positive can happen, but IMHO doctors doesn't know much about the developmental differences of twins so this kind of thing happen more often to family with twins..
For MTBs, a steel hardtail does feel very, very different from an aluminum one. Steel feels springy and just absorbs a lot of vibrations. You can feel it in your ankles after a ride. Definitely there is a large difference between steel/titanium and everything else.
Happens a lot around here where one thread leads to another. I assume people see the headline about truck drivers, do some research, and find this interesting as well.

Did we read the same post? "The US implements X" doesn't counter "X is a terrible idea" at all.
I was briefly worried that clickbait article titles had now evolved to a point where we don't even get complete sentences anymore.
It seems obvious to me that a system in which intellectual property can be ingested into an artificial intelligence system and then provide no value to the original creator is unsustainable.

The value of content that is generated through real-world effort like research and investigation will plummet towards zero. And then what? You can't just have a society built off of LLMs feeding each other.

It also feels obvious that it's going to be very hard to enforce any kind of rules around this.

And further obvious that our current legal framework was not built with this kind of situation in mind, and that any decisions around rules right now are going to have an outsized impact on the path we take into the future.

So what now? Are we going to let some panel of judges rule on whether training violates copyright, and call it a day?

We're going to need some good, nuanced, well-intentioned debate and come up with a coherent set of rules that to create a fair and sustainable system.

Submitted once before, but not discussed at the time.

It more or less complies with Betteridge's law of headlines, but since publication, the article was amended:

> Editor’s Note: The original version of this article failed to disclose that some of the quoted critics of orthodontics have financial ties to alternative, direct-to-consumer therapies. While the criticisms raised by these experts pre-date these financial ties by decades, and Undark’s reporting — both prior to and after publication — supports the story’s premise that there is disagreement within the discipline over many of the purported medical benefits of traditional orthodontics, these relationships should have been acknowledged in the original article. They have now been added, along with a response from the individual experts involved.
I believe it just started working again. It was not working for me until a few minutes ago.

I'm not sure why people put so much emphasis on the valuation of X?

It's pretty clear that Musk doesn't care about the valuation and views it as a passion project.

2) It represents a miniscule portion of his net worth.
It's all in the articles

"Existing homes near Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s headquarters in Hangzhou have dropped about 25% from late 2021 highs, according to local agents."

"Even as of March, before a fresh slowdown, more than half of tier-2 and tier-3 cities saw existing-home prices fall more than 15% from peaks,"

"residential housing prices in tier 3 cities dropped by nearly 20%."

EDIT: Again, to get the real numbers, you need to have access to Chinese real estate agents. And these folks aren't going to be posting articles for everyone to read. Or if they post a video in anger, it will get taken down.
>Ye it is strange that such anti-intuitive management style pays off. I have no clue why.

It works because it prays and exploits several flaws in our society and in human psychology like greed, wealth inequality, conformity of the masses to cultural norms, fear of missing out/of being left out, and the crabs in the bucket mentality, which leads to a rat race to the bottom form which it's difficult to check yourself out as an individual if the majority does it and is heavily vested in it.

This isn't something big bad corporations have created, it s just something that has existed for hundreds of years, they're just exploiting. The same mechanism and behaviors were in place during the communist rule in my home country 35+ years ago, when people were fighting to climb up the party ranks, because that's what gave you the best QoL. Now it's climbing the corporate ranks.
Recently I made the decision to go to wal mart for something instead of amazon. Lesser of two evils type situation you know, which I never could have imagined twenty years ago. What's grimly hilarious is that wal mart didn't get better over that time though, we just made the world so much worse that it no longer seems egregious.
Where I live we're on a "meh, decriminalize posession" kick (most recently: psilocybin & dmt) so that's probably biasing my view, but the cops I know are too lazy to care about busting people for possession. If you can synthesize/extract it without creating a public health hazard, and if you're not part of something violent, or selling to kids, then you're probably not worth their time.

Maybe I'd feel differently if I were in a different demographic.
I built my own house because almost every step was more expensive hourly labor than me writing software for an hour instead.

Even the lower rate such as concrete laborers wanted 100+ an hour.

I suspect the low pay of many of these trades is just a symptom of housing and construction being the number one money laundering industry and thus tradesman are always saying they're making nothing while simultaneously asking 100+ an hour cash and working full weeks.

Id bet the BLS income reports are off by like 50+%.
We have tried this with a friend recently with that app, and I can tell you it was miles better (in terms of feeling natural) compared to, say having a video call or Discord.

We played a few flat (not VR) games, on a super large screen in a cozy virtual room, with directional audio that is always on. With your attention being taken on what is happening within the game, it's -almost- as convincing as sitting together and playing the same game.

I can already say that this is my favourite way of playing couch co-op remotely. Haven't tried movies, yet I wouldn't expect the experience to be any different.

>In practical terms, is that different from Google becoming a trillion-dollar company from its search offering?

Google directs people to the people that created content and their platforms, allowing them to profit off of their labor.

ChatGPT completely obscures the source.

Simple enough, it seems.
Hmm. That's significantly more than what I make, and I have a college degree and work in tech. I should be jealous, but I am not.

Good on Walmart for paying their store managers well. I hope the front line employees also get great pay and benefits too. if true, go Walmart.
> Essentially this puts Meta, Google, and OpenAI/Microsoft (Anthropic/Amazon as a number four maybe) as the only real players in the cutting edge foundational model space.

Mistral is right up there.
Last update in February 2018. Can’t blame them; they must be short of cash
Indexing content provides a useful service that content owners benefit from, too, so for a long time, there was definitely a mutual understanding between Google and site owners. I think the relationship has soured, somewhat coincidentally, in large part due to the way that Google has started to push against actually linking to sites, like by trying to provide inline answers and using AMP caches to avoid actually dropping the user out of Google's Search UI.

Personally, I think society is built on top of unspoken agreements that couldn't really be meaningfully codified, but then immensely harmed by those who exploit the resulting relationships that formed as a result of said unspoken agreements. The Internet's openness was once its biggest asset, but it feels like it quickly became the biggest liability almost overnight.

Key differences are in crediting sources and where the revenue comes from:

- Google became a trillion-dollar company off advertising along side the search offering - the search offering itself linked back to sources and was fully available for $0.

- OpenAI is opaque with crediting sources and currently charges $20/mn for better output .

> Even completely rational prediction markets generally have a structural problem with events with likelihoods close to 1.0 or 0.0. This leads to cases where conspiracy type events have much higher likelihoods than they should, leading people to assume the market has lost all rationality when actually it hasn't.

Is there academic research on this by any chance? Recently I've been wondering if there is a similar issue with VC funded of startups, where people overestimate the odds of a building 10B or 100B business (especially relative to a 1B or 100M business), causing them to pursue investments and strategies with lower expected value.
Not really sure what you're on about here.

> I hope you vote with your wallet to make these supermarkets go out of business.

I do -- not to make anyone go out of business, but because I prefer to shop at supermarkets that don't spy on me. At least in my part of the US, they do still exist and while they do, that's where I'll shop.

The point (for me) isn't to encourage or discourage any particular business practice. It's purely a self-defensive move on my part.

Technically it's not a copy. And nothing was stolen. It's a best fit curve among a series of datapoints. The datapoint is a copy, if the best fit curve never touches the datapoint then it's technically not a copy.

The difficult part is the technicality here is legal and ethical from any standpoint. The high level ramifications are a bit unfair in the sense that yes the data is being used to create an AI that can replace you and your job from data you created to DO your job.

This is the conundrum with AI. Our legal system and moral intuition makes it permissible to read and interpret things which is pretty much all ML does. Does it make sense to make it illegal for someone to learn programming for free from online articles? No. Does it make sense to make it illegal for someone to learn programming for free from online articles to take over your job? No. Should it be illegal to use tools to help me learn programming for free by using tools to help me read for free from online articles so I can take over your job? No.

But if that tool is AI, suddenly, Yes, it should be illegal. The logic makes no sense. But we shouldn't rely on logic to maintain our morals, even if it doesn't hold logical cohesion if the outcomes are negative it should still be immoral imo.
>> Them using AI images isn't hugely shocking to anyone with the capacity to reason.

Gee, thanks, that's so kind.
I agree, your incorrectness on this point is likely leading you both to incorrect conclusions, even before we get to the "is an empty set a set?" that you would apparently need to argue against.
I'd say $200k is about the floor, including enlisted, not just officers. Assuming they did 20 years in, they should be able to land at least that much for a boring office job in the US and if they didn't have something notable working for them (good network, what kinds of work they did, that sort of thing). That'll mean an NCO rank of some sort, for enlisted, and probably at least a bachelor's degree (it's strongly encouraged past a certain point) plus the all-important clearance. It goes up from there—way up, at the higher officer's ranks (O-6 and up, say), where whole new tiers of job open up, like high-level lobbying jobs, think tanks, C-suite positions, and even media.

Details of your service, who you know, what you're willing to do (travel, say) can start adding fives and even sixes of figures to your comp in a hurry (each!), from there.

[EDIT] This is for post-"retirement" former military folks in general, not that specific case. You're probably not getting one at all for under $200k/yr unless they just don't want to do one of the kinds of jobs that pay a premium for retired military. And that's, again, way on the low end.

[EDIT EDIT] Also if you account for all benefits, the multiplier on military comp may not be as large. These places tend to offer good bennies, too, but not... you know, housing and such.
If it was purely penny pinching, they could have stuck with the cheaper smaller screens in the rear view mirror and put a blank panel in the dash instead of a stereo, like base model vehicles of the past sometimes had.

But most automakers are spending a couple of extra bucks on a nicer and more expensive screen in the dash because new car buyers don't want to spend new car money on a car with a dashboard that looks like it's from 2001, and it doesn't make sense to save $50 on a car if you can't sell it.

Not long ago, you used to be able to buy new cars without AC, power steering, power windows, power locks, automatic transmissions, painted bumpers, stereos, passenger side mirrors, cupholders, center consoles, etc. And it is still legal to do so. But consumer preferences have changed.
AirBnB, Uber, Cloudflare to name some.

Those mid sized companies you refer to did fine for three reasons:

* If they were competing against venture backed companies, they were likely playing in big markets. My bet is they are still alive today.

* They got acquired by the bigger companies and ended up capturing even more short term economic value than they would have otherwise.

* These venture backed companies expanded the market, actually helping smaller players. I would bet money that VRBO's business increased as AirBnB got bigger.

I agree that there's something sleazy about injecting a ton of capital in a niche space; at the very least, it's distorts all the dynamics in it. But you can't deny that this short term chaos creates long term economic value for everyone else.

Uber demonstrated you could add a tech layer to the taxi business and make it more efficient for riders + introduce a whole new set of people to the driver business. Did this harm existing taxi drivers? Unquestionably.

I know it's hard to look at that business model as innovation but it is because now there's extreme price pressure on these companies (esp Lyft) to remove the costliest part of the equation - the driver. So as a result, you have a ton of very motivated energy towards solving that, via autonomous driving.

It took mediocre business innovation[0] (uber) to drive meaningful tech innovation (autonomous driving).

[0] - Purposely differentiating the tech innovation (which Uber deserves a lot of credit for) vs the biz innovation (which last I read is getting better, though still shaky).

I want to try this, but "reserve a spot" is giving: "Email rate limit exceeded"
While there are exceptions, and in general exceptions seem pretty common, they still require businesses to officially get approval and it gives power to parents to enforce rules that would otherwise be hard to do so. Even with the exceptions for children to legally be allowed to drink, I would be surprised if that led to more kids drinking than alcohol obtained illegally, which means the question should be back on how well does the law work (obviously not perfectly, but there is a large gap between perfect and so poorly that it is useless purely from an efficiency perspective).

Ask HN: How can I back up an old vBulletin forum without admin access?
I'm part of a car community where our vBulletin forum contains a wealth of information.

What we've run into:

1. Admin/owner is nearly / absolutely unreachable, which causes a variety of issues. Mainly we cannot even request a traditional backup of the database underneath the forum software.

2. As with anything, the forums don't get much active engagement other than older forum regulars. However, Google searches easily find useful posts for things like DIY maintenance, modification installs, test data from driving with ECU tunes, track day experiences, etc.

3. It's easy to point people on other social networks at posts by their URL, but due to neglect the website constantly has problems making access increasingly complicated and inconsistent.

Ideally, it'd be nice to find a way to scrape everything as closely as possible into a manageable database.

Even more ideally, if we could convert said scraped data into a format that is easily publishable to a new platform, that would be handy. Even if the new platform is static and simply renders the old threads.

I can't imagine we are the only forum that is experiencing problems like this with most forums probably dying in the last decade.

Has anyone gone through this kind of archival process with vBulletin before?

Thanks.
Ever-increasing wealth is probably not the best goal if you're already fairly wealthy, but below a certain threshold I think it should be near the top of your list.

If you can't afford a safe place to live, healthy food, and medical care, then getting above the threshold where you can will make a huge difference.
