You're probably right, but there's at least one emulator out there that can run relatively modern games at a comparable speed on unsupported operating systems: WINE (and subsequently Proton and Crossover). [1]

While I don't think APIs are generally copyrightable (IANAL) so WINE should be in the clear, I could totally see a universe where Microsoft decides that WINE is a threat, and they bully them through the legal system to stop development.

Will this happen? Probably not, but it's just one example that could happen. Hell, Crossover even monetizes it, which is part of the issue that Nintendo had with Yuzu isn't it?

[1] Yes yes I know "Wine is Not an Emulator", it's a compatibility layer, but it still more or less functions the same way as one for the sake of this argument.

A lot of genuine role pay porn on the internet does that, for better or worse. E.g CNC

> It mentions multiple times OnlyFans says to have a human review each video and contrasts that with a description of a rape where the victim is repeatably saying "no" on camera.

Manual human reviews and slow turnaround times are inseparable. Only automated systems can give quick, instant decisions.

It makes sense that rape like role play videos take a while to review.

If they went 6 months (or something like that) without responding there's clearly a problem, but the nature of unresponsiveness isn't defined in the article

How about resolution? Color depth? Complexity of what is displayed?

Last I checked my old commodore PET wasn’t rendering ray-traced 4K UHD graphics at 60hz…

60hz is pretty easy if all you are doing is a simple character buffer.
>There are other differentiators than just opportunity: environment, background, culture, childhood, experience, vision and maybe traits.

That's what I mean when I say luck. It's a combination of millions of variables that eventually lead to the successful outcome. The vast majority of those we have no control over.

So I stand by it. Ultimately the difference is luck. You can't pinpoint one of those millions of events and say: this was it. It's always a combination of them all.

>That's not a lie, it just doesn't guarantee success. But it increases probability (when you talk in general, not some specific person).

If inspirational quotes were phrased like that, I agree, that's not a lie. But at least in my bubble I only see folks with fanatical belief that if you work hard you are guaranteed success. I even got personal attacks for my comment from one of those fanatics.

Or even more commonly, like in this case, already successful people attributing their success to "hard work", which is extremely misleading.

I def agree with you. I think you’re talking about those cases like a 20M VC-backed company category.

I think something I don’t understand is more about those startups that never raised or big at all. Their high school kids made “social apps”, which is not as viral as TikTok or whatnot, founders still put “acquired”.
I am not from the USA. Never studied programming officially either, was just a hobby and I winged it and got good fast.

I am also from Eastern Europe.

These things make a huge difference.

But I admit I get ticked off by privileged people who think that all you have to do is pick up the phone.

No, for 99% of all programmers everywhere and who didn't go to the prestigious schools in USA, it's definitely much harder than that.
Glassdoor seems very has-been at this point. They’re trying to move beyond the mix of folks trashing their employers and then charging employers to make the profile look better to now trying to be more of a serious career site. The ship has sailed on that front and they just seem on a slow march to irrelevance as has happened to lots of other similar career and employer review sites.

It's definitely a fascinating game to try websites Full Screen on an ultra wide. I definitely tend to stick to FancyZones for most browser windows to get "normal" breakpoints, but every now and then it's fun to play with sites and see which ones tested extremes in responsiveness.

I get a lot of flak that my blog [0] scrolls horizontally by default when JS is enabled, because that is intentionally weird, but it's one of the only websites I know of that is "readable like a newspaper" when full screen on an ultra-wide monitor. Some posts you can read the entire article at full screen on an ultra-wide with no scrolling at all. I'm proud of that and I like that for my own enjoyment, even if few others appreciate it.

Is there a relationship between the intense forces here that are apparently balanced and stable and the fact that mass is equivalent to insane amounts of energy (via E=mc^2)?

Is mass basically a ball of balanced forces ready to explode if this balance is disrupted?

If so then it seems interesting that this tension's potential energy maps exactly to mc^2.
I know of two multinational conglomerates (one Indian, the other Argentinian) that requires all newcomers to post a GlassDoor review and a LinkedIn post praising the company, the onboarding gifts, and such things. Both are absolute hell to work for unless you're upper management, according to acquaintances that have been there and climbed outside the bog of low-level positions.

It's not a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
I’ve been suspecting for the entire thread that you’re really not understanding nor listening to my argument, and that might indeed make it seem like the goalposts are moving. I know you said you think you understand, but my points haven’t changed. Banning things is a straw man on your part and not something I ever discussed in this thread.

> it matters what the intended or majority use case for a technology is.

Okay, speaking of moving goal posts, you previously made unverifiable claims about what the majority type of prompt is, in order to contradict my points about specific art prompts being common. Until now, our discussion was not about the majority use case for the technology. The prompts and the tech are not the same things. The majority use case of AI technology has nothing to do with whether a user is seeking generic photographs or art in a specific style. The intended use case of Stable Diffusion, for example, is to generate images from a text description. All text prompts and all image outputs fit the stated majority use case of Stable Diffusion. The intent of it has - deliberately - never included any statements on what the prompt contains nor what the output looks like, and half of the examples on Stable Diffusion’s home page are art anyway.

You claim accidental infringement is an unintended failure mode, but it’s a surprise to nobody that a sophisticated copy machine sometimes copies things. Plus they had to copy stuff in order to train it, which may well be illegal even before anyone starts inferencing. It’s fundamentally a copy machine they built, and they intended for it to copy things, so unless they design it to guarantee remixes of many, hoping it won’t copy enough of any single source to violate copyright is wishful thinking and nothing more. The copyright office may decide to view that as willful ignorance in violation of the law. Accidents and intentional infringements both are bound to happen, and the machine is effectively distributing copyrighted work and could be violating existing laws.

So far you’ve ignored all of my points touching on the possibility that training AI on copyrighted material might be illegal. There might be legal issues with AI, unless the people building them curate legal training sets.

You’ve also failed to engage with any points about OpenAI requesting copyright exemption, which I’ve mentioned multiple times and was my first point. Their actions have already demonstrated what I’m saying here, that they know the potential copyright problems with their AI go far beyond overfitting accidents. We haven’t even discussed ChatGPT, but it’s pretty obvious that they would like to have the right to disseminate information and excerpts from copyrighted sources. They want it to overfit on some things, otherwise they can’t improve it’s ability to tell the truth and not hallicinate false information.
I just logged in for the first time in years to delete my account, and before letting me do anything they required me to add my full name and other employment info.
My experience has been that some variant of this is at play in all “data-driven” business, not just in HR. You can play spot-the-fatally-flawed-data/analysis all day long—but nobody cares, accuracy isn’t the point at all. It’s entirely a political tool.
Same here, and for this reason I prefer Firefox because it remembers the zoom size on a per domain basis instead of a tab basis.
This seems pretty low level. When I wanted async wasm execution (to run multithreaded game ai simulation or to run game ai outside of UI thread) I was able to go with WebWorkers using a small script: https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/blob/master/src/AiWorker.... (worker code here: https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/blob/master/src/ai.worker...)

Having the async at the WASM level would help avoid having overhead from serialize/deserialize between web workers. I wrote this years ago, so not sure what progress has been made for having the wasm module running multiple threads. On that front you may still be better off spawning multiple wasm modules
I thought Švejk to be much funnier.

Rather I thought Catch-22 to be a so-so imitation of Švejk.

Then again I've been re-reading Švejk since childhood.

Similarly, how you can tell when Hasek dies before finishing Švejk and his friend takes over with the ending, the jokes just fall off a bit.

I think that between the high TWR allowing the vehicle to spend less time in the thicker parts of the atmosphere and the lower pressure 'wake' the ship on on top would produce, there isn't as much drag over the fins as one might think.

This feels like a really good idea, really poorly explained, especially with the whole "going up against Wikipedia" thing (Wikipedia being arguably the best mostly-decentralized thing ever?)

"Replacing Wikipedia" strikes me as one of the least essential ideas on making the web better these days, but "developing an alternative news/information thing that anyone can work on and edit" seems cool? Something between the very authoritative "Wikipedia" and the mostly "single-creator" things like githubs awesome lists, rentry's and so forth?
An eval on 25% of the eval dataset is fishy? Why not 100%? Are they training with the eval set? Also that dataset is almost all python.
Well, that chart is really promising!

I can't really speak for previous posts, but I've personally seen a huge uptick in how fast I can move through material using LLMs - not because I'm asking them how things work or to explain things to me, but because they remove the slog of memorizing ancillary boilerplate and help me find the terms I need to search the docs for.

These are very specific things that you can't get as efficiently elsewhere. Essentially, it's not so much about the language model outputting information that I can understand, but more about the language model being able to parse MY queries and respond with something that's kinda good-enough.

Say you're looking at a chunk of code you didn't write, and you want to know what function foo_man_chu() is doing. You could go straight to the documentation for that function, but in many cases it's interacting with a bunch of other systems that are documented elsewhere, and not referenced in that material. If you ask GPT to explain it to you, it pops out a (reliable enough) list of things to RTFM on. This takes what could be a couple hours deep-reading through stack / google and distills it down to like ten minutes.

This effect is magnified the less you know about the domain, if you do it right.

Multiply that by the amount of times you have to do this in the course of teaching yourself something and it adds up quite a bit. This may be what the parent is talking about.
This is pretty shocking. I never use Glassdoor anyway, so deleted my account after reading. Worth noting that going to Settings only shows a button that says "Deactivate account", which seems misleading. Following this process does show a modal at the end that says "Account Deleted Confirmation. You have successfully deleted your account.", so seems like this is actually deletion vs. deactivation. (Your data stays in an archive DB for some period of time for legal reasons.)
You might be confused: to them, people like you and the OP are bad actors. What you mean by “bad actors” are their paying customers.

> They found that in the heart of the proton, the strong force generates pressures of unimaginable intensity — 100 billion trillion trillion pascals, or about 10 times the pressure at the heart of a neutron star. Farther out from the center, the pressure falls and eventually turns inward, as it must for the proton not to blow itself apart.

This is inside each of us, 100 billion billion billion times

Tell me you don't understand what makes your own website mildly attractive to employees without telling Mr.

Glassdoor has been mostly useless for quite some time now anyway. HR departments offer little trinkets to employees who leave a good review to boost their score, negative reviews can be taken down. Minimal value all around basically.
IIUC real launchers do a single burn to orbit because S2 TWR is not very high and relight is finicky. Launchers that has relightable S2 and/or hypergolic S3 routinely do circularization burns.

There are reasons "apogee" is more recognized word than "apoapsis".
Global outsourcing of carbon emissions 1995–2009: A reassessment (2019)
Right? I think there is a cool idea here, but the article is so weirdly negative and generally garbage I have trouble telling.
Humans have an intuitive understanding of "up", so there's usually a single obvious way to orient a camera when taking photos. However, what happens when you point a camera straight up or down? There's no longer an obvious choice, any direction you choose is reasonable (orthogonal)!

Another way to think about it is assigning cardinal directions to the Earth. Which way is north from the north pole? There's no possible way to create a map that has defined directions at every point.

The pictures in the Wikipedia article give a great intuitive understanding, particularly if you can figure out why a sphere and torus behave differently. (You can build a globally consistent map on a torus.)

I wonder if it could be considered securities fraud, in the Matt Levine sense of "Everything is Securities Fraud."

I certainly would take CEO approval rating and employee's reviews of overall job satisfaction into account when investing in a company. If you see very low reviews, you know the company is under-investing in employees and will likely need to increase spend on employee retention in the coming years, which is not reported in their current financial reports. Likewise, if you want to be cynical, a consistent 5 star company has some fat it could trim, which would increase it's investment value.

Perhaps we'll see a shareholder lawsuit following a mass employee resignation event which was arguably concealed by manipulating employee reviews.
Has anything actually been moving in this space? From what I recall Autodesk had the US market bottled up, and IFC was really only being adopted in the EU.
Not in my experience. I worked in 2 occasions with some older people (~ 65) that were the guru of their departments, very respected and listened. While people learned a lot from these 2 people, they were not too agreeable, but quite grumpy, I could say. That limited their careers, even if they were by far the best experts in their departments and overall the most valuable contributors, they were never considered for promotions.

On the other side, most well-liked people I met were professionally superficial at best, masters of talking and networking, but not delivering much at the end of the day. They were promoted first, so that the entire organization was full of these people promoting similar ones.
Many companies just post fake positive reviews about themselves directly. Glassdoor reviews come from two places: aggrieved former employees and HR departments. The whole thing is garbage.

> I’ve already posted at length on HN about the risks of treating attestation as evil and refusing to discuss its benefits at all

I've seen lots of discussion about the benefits on HN.

But attestation really is fundamentally opposed to freedom. It allows someone else to dictate how you use your own machines. So, the debate necessarily revolves around whether or not it's worth it to give some freedom up for this.

Some people will say it is, others will say it's not.

> yet no one discusses how freedom and attestation might coexist

How could they coexist? I honestly don't see it, but that's likely a result of my own lack of imagination.

Memorize Pi with Google Calculator
I agree. I am the author of a [very mild] social media app, that Serves an extremely tinfoil demographic.

The #1 posture is that if we don't actually need the information for the application to run, we don't take it.

I won't go into detail about how we do what we do, but we don't keep any data, other than the email the user chooses to send us (which can be a DEA or proxied one). We also never export that email outside the server. No marketing aggregations, no trend analysis, etc. The email stays inside the deployed server.

This stance has not made me popular with my coworkers, but it has made our app quite popular with end-users.

> because that's just the way liquid behaves

That's almost worse than the original! :)

Water evaporates because their energy (heat) causes the molecules to bounce around and sometimes escape the cohesive attraction of their friends and into the air. More energy, more evaporation.

This works well with small water molecules, less well with larger and heavier liquids.
No one (reasonable) ever said that decentralization makes us immune to corruption. The argument is that decentralization reduces concentration of power and the potential damage that inevitably will occur when anyone in a position of power fails or tries to abuse the power they have.
