It looks like making things easier to search through is a typical Hacker News project.

I had a similar idea some years ago for flashdrives:

https://www.productchart.com/flashdrives/

Except I decided to implement a two-way sort, so the result is a chart, with axis "price" and "size". Or whichever parameter you chose. (At least on Desktop. On mobile, I show a list.)

Then I added ssd drives:

https://www.productchart.com/ssd_drives/

And more product types like monitors, phones etc, which you can access from the menu.

Maybe we should make a group to discuss the way forward and how to make the whole world easier to search through.

That case was not a "look and feel" case. Mino literally just copied all of the artwork from Tetris. As the artwork was a fundamental part of the game, the judge found that in this very exceptional situation, copyright was violated.

However, strict limitations apply to copyrighting functional content, like UI icons, and it is extremely unlikely that Adobe would succeed in suing PhotoPea. The icons are incidental to the functionality of the program. Indeed, the most likely outcome would be for the judge to sanction Adobe's lawyers for filing a frivolous lawsuit.

No one ever set a goal for AI to achieve the same result; just replace labor.

Your post is the same dull strawman non-engineers (I also have a BSc in engineering and MSc in math) repeat about AI.

Find me a formal proof of how “images are made” and I’ll show you one possible model of an infinite number of possible models to explain it with a few axiomatic correct twists to the math since all of our symbolic logic is a leaky abstraction that fails to capture how anything is “fundamentally made”.

Last time I was laid off (exactly 1 month ago) even my manager (allegedly) didn't know I was laid off until after my offboarding meeting with HR. Neither did the manager of the consulting engagement to which I was assigned (thankfully my now-former employer didn't terminate my accounts until noon, which gave me time to reach out to her on Slack and coordinate returning the client-issued laptop I had just received days prior).
I'm excited about what Google comes up with but only as an intellectual curiosity. In practice, I'll never use it in my apps or workflow because I simply don't trust Google and they'll pull the plug any day with short notice. If Google's brand image wasn't tarnished due to their abandoning products that users loved, I'd probably have a different opinion.
My interest in LLMs lies in the static program analysis space and these results are genuinely exciting. LLM-guided analysis (e.g. invariant modelling or detecting bugs by identifying unusual implementation patterns) is going to be a thing.

OpenAI is gradually turning into the Fisher-Price of AI. I cancelled my ChatGPT Pro subscription after 12mo due to increasingly low quality answers since ~Nov 2023. I occasionally try the API but the quality there is only slightly better than ChatGPT.

From the article:

>And if I ask who do I trust more, my local reputable electronics shop (Memory Express, B&H Photo, etc.), I trust my local reputable electronics shop more. Not only are they less likely to sell me a counterfeit than Best Buy, in the event that they do sell me a counterfeit, the service is likely to be better.

An international, multi-government taskforce is one solution, potentially. Maybe not. For the problem presented at the top of the article, shopping locally seems like an easy win in comparison.
This gets close to the law of principal and agent. Are "intelligent agents" agents in the legal sense? That is, is the principal responsible for their actions?
That's usually the case for employees, unless the employee clearly acted outside the scope of their employment. AI systems operated on behalf of a business should be held to the same standard.

There's an economic theory of accounting for mistakes of agents.[1] There's a cost of mistakes, and a cost of decreasing the error rate. So it's something that can be priced into the cost of running the business.

I think we don't hold them accountable for the same reason we generally accept panhandlers (which is usually technically illegal in most jurisdictions). If we hold them accountable, where do we send them? Jail? Does that actually fix the problem, or does it just hide it under a societal rug?
Alternately, is their absence/imbalance a cause of disease. Are they simply part of the "biome"?
Oil gets less relevant with every decade. We're probably within 50 years now of fusion power. Electrical components can be recycled once the economics make it the best option. It's pretty reasonable to think today's limits aren't the limits forever.

Any investor who thinks he's getting 20% of linked in for 10 mil is smoking something.

Not to mention that 20% of LinkedIn has no purpose or value. LinkedIn is all about 100% or nothing. (The clue is in the name).

My thoughts as a SaaS user/purchaser:

Can I opt out quickly so I can see how the difficult things work?

Will I get this flow every time I change computers, delete cookies, etc?

How much will it bloat the experience once I'm an expert? These things always have telemetry ... will it still be collecting telemetry forever?

As someone who buys line-of-business software, I know these concerns are rarely considered by the SaaS developer, but they are important.

Ask HN: How to deal with web-socket events and API events for same user
I have implemented real-time updates, so I have created board-wise topics (a board is a Kanban entity where a group of users collaboratively handle their tasks). When users select a particular board, they are subscribed to that topic. When any event happens on that board, I simply publish the event on that topic, so everyone gets real-time updates.

Here, my problem arises: event creators receive two events, one from the API response and the other from the WebSocket event, because the creator is also subscribed to that board's topic, thus receiving updates from other users.

What is the best approach to handle such events?
I just ssh in periodically run a git pull and it’s done. I have a text file with the various things I need to do. Takes less than 2 min of work. I’ve not been convinced automating this process yet would save me much time.
Impressive! It's too bad it's not possible to opt-out of model training on Googles Gemini (free/paid*) plans.

Which includes:

And specifically this clause:

"Please don't enter confidential information in your conversations or any data you wouldn't want a reviewer to see or Google to use to improve our products, services, and machine-learning technologies."

Update: *There is a Gemini setting here https://myactivity.google.com/u/1/product/bard but it does not explicitly state that it disables training, just activity history.
Eglot philosophy is to hook into existing emacs features instead of reinventing the wheel, so you may find some of the lsp-mode/lsp-ui features in other packages. imenu-list for sideline navigation, breadcrumb, flymake has a way to display inline diagnostics (can never remember how as I don't use it and google does not help).

I work on a huge codebase with eglot+clangd and the few times where it gets slow is where there are tons of flymake warnings. Like when you enable all the clang-tidy checks.

I wish I could say more about how spammers work ... but this won't work like you think it will. You are assuming all the spammers are distributed among a single branch in the tree, and you'd only realize it wasn't working when you ban someone popular who obviously isn't a spammer and has the clout to do something about it.
Right, these are different questions indeed. Scott wonders what happens to amplitudes as they already appear in the theory but with numbers being no longer complex. But those lifted representations effectively change to a specific basis in higher dimensions (think qubit's 2x2 density matrix becoming a 4-dimensional distribution vector, with the same 3 real degrees of freedom) where everything is real and interpreted as probabilities.

Combating AI deepfakes in elections through today's new tech accord
If people didn't commonly consider situations which threaten the mother's life actual abortion the Alabama abortion law wouldn't list it as an allowed case for abortion it'd list it as not abortion. What one imagines people probably think is neither here nor there.

Regardless, here is another poll https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/05/06/americas-abo..., this time by Pew, which supports that a similar 10% of the total population respond that there should be absolutely no exceptions to abortion when the pregnancy threatens the woman's life or health. A question much harder to mistake what abortion means in the context. A further 10% of the total population hold that it depends on the specific situation, meaning those aren't included in the other 10% and may also contribute to additional percentage per case in question (e.g. where one who considers risk to life allowable but not risk to general health may fall).
Would like to see this argument made. There should also be an argument made that more good contributors would come. In face, more people without the mentality of this post to block and hinder visibility, in effect, would mean this is a net positive for aggregate sentiment.

> The way that things currently stand, I don’t think I can fully consider myself a Hugo winner.

Not a writer, but I expect any Hugo is partly hard work and talent, and partly luck. Very few winners can consider themselves objectively the best.

There's a video on YouTube called "Last man standing", about Steven Bradbury's 2002 Winter Olympics gold medal. He was the slowest, but everyone else fell over. So what? He should have won a medal in 1994 but was pushed over. He stood a chance in the 94 World Cup but almost died from blood loss in a crash, and it severed his quadriceps. Then he crashed again in the 1998 Olympics and broke his neck in 2000. And he still won his heat in the 2002, he wasn't a total amateur.

Sure, the Hugos don't have as much physical hardship, but there's luck and hard work in every win. As long as you're playing fair, and asking for the committee to keep it fair, a win is a win.

BTW, it's a pity people don't study Old Testament as a literary work. I read it at 15 as an atheistic teenager and was totally captivated by the epic mainline story with numerous fascinating side stories. It's at least on par with Iliad and Odissey in that aspect.

I have noticed the same issue with Todd's approach. He does a good job of establishing an experimental metric that allows apples-to-apples comparison, but he reviews so many categories of product that there is no way he could be capturing the whole story on all of them. There are a lot of products that won't do well in any "who scores the mostest" contest but strike a good balance of qualities.
They can tell you, but they don't have to.
I would like to make the argument that the increased attention from Google will exert an enshittification pressure in code quality due to the sudden appearance and accumulation of trackers, until the web is finally sold to any big publishing company, and, eventually, to an AI training company.

Exactly. As ways to differentiate between "essential complexity" and "accidental complexity" go, the idea of looking at what compresses well sounds quite good - but it's the accidental complexity that will compress the best, and essential the worst. And latter is not the problem, the former is.
This is exactly the type of headline that is later proven to be an exaggeration or entirely false
I'm pretty sure they mean ban the invite tree below the branch of the spammer, not the entire tree that spammer is on. The chances of a false positive are much lower in the former case than in the latter.

Users who actually believe in the site and understand how the mechanism works and appreciate the high snr that they've enjoyed, will be understanding for the most part even if they end up on the wrong side of one of these bans, and have to go through an appeal system to rejoin the site on some other trust tree which is much more closely monitored by its members than the one they were on before. Ensuring that future bans will be highly unlikely.
I feel like all of last year's fake finalists should be given a Hugo* award, which is like a Hugo award in that people did vote for them at the finals, but with the big obvious askerisk.

This is an old blog post announcing an upcoming preview. Assured OSS has been generally available for a while now:

Yeah and nothing they write contradicts anything I wrote. I also read them, but Kyevindependent and NYT are quite reputable as well.

"Ukrainian forces will likely be able to establish new defensive lines not far beyond Avdiivka, which will likely prompt the culmination of the Russian offensive in this area. "

If there would have been a second line truly ready and prepared, there would be no need to write it this way.

And all they wrote about the retreat, is that they have not seen pictures of large groups of ukrainians surrender. They do not deny, that the order came to leave the wounded behind. Or that lots of equipment had to be left behind. They just do not mention it. But they do not wrote the retreat went pretty well, like you did.

"Russian forces have not yet demonstrated an ability to secure operationally significant gains or conduct rapid mechanized maneuver across large swaths of territory"

And this is correct - but they are aware and state the possibility, that the front can collapse.
The GP’s point isn’t that the model is wrong “because nuance X”, it’s that the model directly contradicts good practice.

You also changed the model under consideration (GP said compressed code size; you said just code size), disagreeing with a point the GP didn’t make.

- profiling paid or unpaid users

- displaying ads

Only two of the above are issues.

I think you are trying to build walls around something that isn't entirely yours, both personally and “you-as-the-voice-of-the-community yours”.

The linked blog post actually describes that Google is drowning in ad-driven crap, and has to rely on manually chosen external structures to keep quality tolerable, not that “HN has became cool”.
Trees are rooted somewhere. The problem is reduced to finding the root account which invited all the spammers and banning that account and its entire invite tree and the guy who invited that root account for good measure. This reduces the number of accounts that must be evaluated, making it much more manageable. Any false positives can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Make accounts and invitations a limited resource. People will think twice before inviting someone who can get them banned. This reduces the problem to one of trust which is the foundation of real security.
