It definitely worked in the case of Napster! It was a technological setback that bought time for the incumbent industry to catch up. Lots of parallels here actually.

...the high school kids aren't selling it?
Do you also make the LSD yourself?
I suspect one pro-social thing citizens can do without government action is to be personally less open to drugs. I've noticed in more left leaning space, the consensus has shifted to that drugs are "cool" which is why they should be decriminalized. They're not. Decriminalization is a pragmatic strategy to minimize harm but drugs still create harm.

Rust, with Uniffi, can also be a good candidate. You’d be targeting WebAssembly.
I wonder why Phoronix enabled such levels of protection? All I can think of is that their forum is pretty toxic. But surely nobody would DDoS phoronix.com just because they were insulted for liking Wayland or, god forbid, Windows.
Funny, how some of them have a whole lot to thank the computer for augmenting their music, but now… nope, bad bad computer. We won’t survive, with our meager millions. Right, not!
I didn't have any of that. Just a modal saying to please disable my adblocker. I'm using ublock origin and privacy badger in firefox.
Recursion is like an inductive proof, you can show it is correct and it normally fits on half of a small screen.
Synthesizing LSD is still illegal of course, as is buying it.

Coincidental username though, reminds me of "NBOMe" :)

Probably true for some. But:

> "When used irresponsibly, AI poses enormous threats to our ability to protect our privacy, our identities, our music and our livelihoods," the open letter states.

Note it says "our" not "the young artists and communities that we mentor and support".
Another snake oil company capitalising on fear. Just upload your data.
This has nothing to do with English, it's just syntactic ambiguity. Every language has it.
Corporations are not people. People deserve privacy. Corporations do not necessarily also deserve privacy.

Who runs a corporation 100% should not be a secret, ever.
The main issue is that Portland was ground zero for a lot of the BLM protests and defund the police campaigns - not without good reason, either. The cops, who mostly live in the suburbs, essentially threw a collective tantrum and refused to do their jobs in Portland. This coincided with covid, newly decriminalized "hard" drugs, the rise of cheap fentanyl, and created a an explosion unprosecuted property and nuisance crimes.

Fundamentally the justice system is just broken in Oregon, and this is merely a political move to please cops and conservatives, that won't fix anything. The state just released a report that they will be short 1800 public defenders due to just this law alone.

"Catch and release" will continue, cops will cry for more budget and less oversight and the human misery of those caught up in addiction will just increase with further legal entanglements.
The weaponisation of online media for manipulating the perception of global audiences about the conflict, has definitely ramped up recently. For example, the official Twitter account of Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has posted videos of muslim preachers appearing to denounce lgbt culture during public service in Palestinian mosques. Hamas themselves are denying their involvement in the 2023 massacre and accusing Israel of staging the graphic footage that was disseminated. This greatly polarises the debates on social media and it’s much more common now to see people who are deeply invested emotionally in the narrative of either side.
Yes, we built an integration to ingest data from Hubspot at $DAYJOB and it was one of the worst we’ve had to deal with. They’re horribly inconsistent with what is documented and what isn’t. Even Meta’s has been better.
Agreed. I just paid $409 for two tickets to a concert in Aug, yesterday. I'm not sure how much of that goes to the artist. But those prices make it really difficult for me to feel sorry for them as they cry out that they don't make enough money.
Salient point about the social media MMORPG potentially becoming a solo experience. That was my experience with World of Warcraft; made some friends early on (2005), and ended up almost entirely alone in the game years later, surrounded by people-as-avatars who may as well benn well-enough-programmed bots. (I've since quit all Blizzard games/variable-reward schemes)
This was my thought as well. Many people don’t remember how huge Napster was at the time. Dr Dre and Metallica speaking out changed the zeitgeist in a massive way.
And to be clearer -- We have licensing mechanisms now in music (they aren't perfect) but when you remix/interpolate/sample the original artist gets their cut.

The "risks" of Machine learning with large models is you won't know who you are even sampling, which exposes you to unknown risk.
AI isn't selling their music either.
Interesting to me that voter-passed ballot initiatives can simply be repealed by the Oregon legislature. Seems to defeat the point of ballot initiatives.
Technically they did.
Upper class values are not compatible with non-upper class realities. And yet they continue to get forced on people over and over again. People take these values on and then are surprised when they don't work out and everyone feels worse off and things "just keep getting weirder and worse".
Yeah, I have a relative who can barely hear because their tinnitus is so loud all the time. And maybe. I don't know if it's possible to tell for sure.
I was about to talk about subleq, but it's damn difficult even to write a "Hello world".
A big issue with a lot of decriminalize campaigns and policies, is there is generally not additional funding and resources for rehab and recovery paired with it. It's just "well, go out in the street and do whatever" and police depts deciding to throw their hands up in the air and act like assault and other physical or violent crimes can no longer be enforced.
Purely AI driven art is already defacto public domain in the US in that it is not copyrightable. See https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/21/22944335/us-copyright-off...

There is a spectrum of what AI generated means. At one end is simply photoshopped pictures. In many cases these were touched by AI, in that some algorithm decided on the specific pixels, but the image was largely directed by a person and is generally considered copyrightable.

On the other end is the uncopyrightable case where a person just typed in a prompt and out comes art.

Where the line is in between has yet to be decided. What if I spend hours tweaking an image generated initally by an AI. At what point does it become copyrightable? What if I spend hours creating a complex graph? That's similar to source code of a computer program, and the output of compilers is protected... From the other direction, at what point does something copyrightable manipulated by AI lose it's protected status?
I'm not sure I understand all of the nuances here (I'm no webmaster), but this is covered in the documentation you linked:

> You must configure page rules to allow Cloudflare to fetch only your Backblaze B2 bucket from your domain. ... Otherwise, someone could use your domain to fetch content from another customer's public bucket. To ensure this does not happen, Cloudflare lets you use page rules to scope requests to your bucket.
I diffed one of the example files. I don't see clear copying. It looked at a moderate glance to be a different implementation of similar functionality.

I didn't spend time looking at the others as I felt the argument as put forth was already weak.

I'd suggest comparing yourself and not assuming that the author's points are all valid.

Nice to see some Riemann Academy on the front page of HN...
That's because the U.S. government doesn't allow it.
It's about the usage. No single dogma ever makes sense without context.
These are abused by many to hide taxable wealth.

It's in the public interest to understand what very powerful people are doing , because the public are usually getting the short end of the stick- this should override any ideology regarding 'privacy', 'freedom' and other fuzzy words (not that some interpretation of these things isn't also important)
I like where you're going with this! I think a stronger argument is that animals can survive so well by ONLY predicting just a few seconds in to the future for the most part.

If you own a cat you'll realize most of them don't have a good understand of physical properties like levers or strings or one thing can knock into another. Of course you'll find on SM cats opening doors with uncanny ability. But I can see from my own cat who can open doors, that he has an incredibly rudimentary understanding of levers. He only knows the lever must be moved but not which direction or how. He can only mash at it with his body until it eventually opens. He doesn't understand why a child proof lock stops him from opening the door so he'll try over and over again. With other cats as well, they only form vague associations over either many repetitions or from an emotional experience. But they don't reason the way we can learn from one experience.
I assume safe public housing and public health care are prerequisites to universal drug decriminalization.
I'll defer to your on the ground expertise as to the relative popularity of each, but I will point out that we're both working with anecdata here. I might also suggest that MySQL is losing a lot of ground to Postgres and I don't expect that trend to reverse in any case.

In any case it's not very relevant to this thread because you're quite right in pointing out that MySQL uses a free software license (GPL).
I think it's mostly an issue of experience. Younger engineers tend to make things more complicated than they need to be and are unaware of reliability issues. Older engineers better understand tried-and-true systems and are more likely to want to stick with things they know work well.

Obviously I'm speaking generally and individuals vary greatly.

>The switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius is wild.

In the summer, a too hot day is 100f. Makes sense. I immediately know the difference between 70, 80, 90f. How to dress changes between 70f and 90f.

But if you were to operate in celcius. We're talking 21c, 26c, 32c. I have no way to understand such a small range.

But then in winter. When it's FREEZING aka 0c. I can easily judge then based on the relationship to 0c. Whereas if you operate in f, it's like 31f. I dont get that range.
I don't listen to any of the artists on this big list, but to say the popular ones are without merit is wrong. I wouldn't go see Bon Jovi if you gave me tickets but I'm sure they take pride in their work and before the fame they were working class musicians. Pop music does nothing for me but I don't think it's just some easy thing performed by non-artists.
That might be convenient for the purpose of timekeeping, but then you would also have to redefine all sorts of physical constants, which could be problematic. Oops, our lander crashed because we were doing calculations using Moon seconds, but the gravitational constant G was in Earth seconds. Okay, the difference probably isn't enough to matter for that case, but still any physics calculations where that precision is needed (say interferometry?) you'd have to keep track of which measurement system you are using. In some ways it would be worse than US -> SI because they would be close enough that it wouldn't be immediately obvious you made a mistake.

I'd much rather have SI be universal than our calendar.
One I know I've ran into is that migrating passwords to a different provider requires a lot of pain (up to 5 unlocks per password) or purchasing a different Apple device (i.e., a Mac).
The paying tax and 100% legal is only tested when brought to court, which seems that be chronically underfunded conveniently and I laugh loudly at the belief that 100% of all corporations are in legal compliance.

You said that the rich are entitled to the freedoms as anyone else but shrugs off that only the rich have the effective means to make use of these instruments. They are quite capable of being completely invisible to public scrutiny by holding all their assets as an individual.

They choose to take steps to leverage opaque often intentionally complicated corporate layering schemes to minimize risk, skirt (legally or not) tax, or to layer the sources of bad money.

Whatever the reason for engaging in these games, I believe they are no longer "living life like every citizen deserves privacy" (note your comment spoke of total privacy from oversight which no citizen pretty much anywhere actually has).

I'm at least happy that my home of Canada is starting to chip away the corporate veil.
True, but nothing could ever be done so quickly and at such a large scale.

If an Italian band wants to make something inspired by Pink Floyd it's going to take real effort. Not a 30 second click to generate.

Eventually, and this is probably my biggest fear with AI, is the AI generated noise will crowd out real human innovation. I don't feel that AI generated art should have the same protections that human generated art has.
Agreed. They’re essentially brick walls moving down the road at 70 miles an hour.

And I’m confident that the vast majority of drivers in these own them for non-utility purposes
> How does one go about becoming a corporate plant? If the CIA offered me $1M to inject a back door into some shenanigans corporate product and told me it was being used to target Bashar al-Assad or cripple Russia’s war effort, would I do it? I don’t know honestly. Principles say it’s not right, but I wouldn’t blame someone (or myself) for saying yes.

Why would that "not be right"?
very true, but you can glean some clues regarding any entities that came before the Delaware LLC, or another state LLC that has a similar name, or does transactions with the Delaware LLC. Or you can search on those you think may be involved with the Delaware target. Their names often show up in other less opaque filings. So, you man not find the smoking gun, but you can sure gin up a lot of smoke.
Very few customers would want hand-crank windows and individual manual locks on doors. Central locking and motorized windows are just standard now. Once you have the wiring and mechanisms in place for that, an automatic latch isn't a big step. But there should be a reliable manual override. Being able to get out of the car can be a life-or-death safety issue.

Even with manual latches, people are advised to keep a hammer in the car to break a window if necessary.
100%. It’s why I personally stopped entertaining their nonsense and call it out.

I’m personally doing okay now but I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon and parents having multiple homes. Some of the things my peers say now makes me roll my eyes and take their other opinions with a grain of salt.
The statement is not by Billie Eilish, Pearl Jam, etc. though. It's by the Artist Rights Alliance, which is itself a community. Feels like we're splitting hairs to suggest young artists aren't included just because they weren't specifically called out.
This is not true. Google LLMs / multi-modals fully support attribution and as explainability goes up, so will attribution.

And it will be much more fair / accurate than the droves of human artists who intentionally omit attributions.

When a human artist composes a new song, they often have no idea where they got the compound basis for it either.

If anything, human attribution is vastly inferior to ML as-is, nevermind of what's to come.
Looking at the the list, I think only a very small fraction of the 200 that signed are millionaires. Only the millionaires can get attention for this by signing.

But then, also: "And what if the (human) environment is damaged / contaminated less by deep undersea extraction vs land-based mines"?
and also:
"What if an abundance of these materials enables vastly cheaper energy storage batteries, making solar / wind energy overnight storage practical, reducing our reliance on cheap fossil fuel energy generation"?

To be clear, I'm not sure if either of those hypotheticals are true, but I have a feeling, as with many things in life is "It's complicated".

Being good stewards of our resources with careful management / regulation is the answer, rather than unfettered exploitation or outright bans.
'Using customer transaction data, which is owned by the bank, brands and advertising agencies can "precisely target customers at scale based on purchase history," for example, by advertising to new, lapsed, or loyal customers differently.'

Enshittification comes to banking and credit cards.

This should be illegal since it is selling what should be private data (how people spend their money) and selling it to third-parties, likely without their consent. (It is probably an 'opt out' item hidden deeply in the legal text of a customer service agreement.)
I never said any of those were...
Yes, a big warning during compilation is thousand times better than getting it during debugging and profiling. Because everybody must compile, but few people use GDB, and even fewer people use Valgrind.

Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure of using the "assassination" wording in my comment, but after thinking about it I felt it most neutral approach is to use the same wording they use in the article itself, in order to not add my own subjective opinion about this whole saga.

> In an unprecedented move, according to two of the sources, the army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians; in the past, the military did not authorize any “collateral damage” during assassinations of low-ranking militants. The sources added that, in the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigade commander, the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander.

I'd agree with you that once you decide it's worth to kill 100 civilians for one target, it's really hard to call it "assassination" at that point...
Could not scroll on my iPhone 14 so was unable to read.

I went to Amazon Go several times to understand the tech. The one in Seattle had hundreds, possibly thousands of cameras but they apparently were all in the ceiling so I couldn’t figure out how objects could be tracked properly.

Hoping someone from Amazon can confirm or disprove this story.
So, Oregon decriminalized in 2020, but failed to stand up treatment and diversion programs as promised. And instead of doing that, they've decided it's easier to just jail addicts again? Sounds like a total failure of government in both cases.

Note: I'm not claiming decriminalization is a panacea. But, decriminalizing without robust diversion/treatment options is bound to fail just as badly as tossing all the addicts in jail.
Genuinely curious: What are the legitimate use cases for shell companies that hide who owns them?
These huge vehicles are deadly to pedestrians and cyclists.

They also require more space for parking that simply places things further away and makes our cities less friendly for pedestrians and cyclists.

Oh, and they are melting glaciers and polluting our environment.

You should avoid the numbers of the other players. Avoid the numbers in red, e.g. 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 12 and you lower the probability significantly that someone else has the same numbers and you need to share the big prize.
Those are essentially shell companies.
> I believe I could walk up to any college senior in physics and they wouldn't know that “the determinant is the product of the eigenvalues,"

Unless things have gotten significantly worse in physics education in the past decade, I'd be happy to take the other side of that bet.

I will also be willing to bet they could prove it.

The problem you'd have with physicists is convincing them that there are matrices that aren't diagonalizable.
This is true, but being against flame wars in general means some important topics just don't get discussed, even though they're directly relevant to HN - here there's both a current news angle and a whole bundle of tech questions, from ethics to how one measures the success rate of a new technology.
>models are going to continue to scale up and 24GB is fairly limiting

>24GB is fairly limiting

Can I take a moment to suggest that maybe we're very spoiled?

24GB of VRAM is more than most peoples' system RAM, and that is "fairly limiting"?

To think Bill once said 640KB would be enough.
So what would the prefix for the IANA code be? Right now, it's continent (Asia/Kolkata, America/Chicago etc). Would it just be "Space/Moon"?

One can imagine the standard would have to be revised many many times if humans became interplanetary.
We need to implement a consumer-facing software standards group similar to the NTSB for software products that are going into the hands of consumers. Lexus/Toyota sudden acceleration issues couldn't be identified because the code was so "black-boxy" that they could neither replicate the specific scenario that trigger the event but fingered it as the most likely culprit.

Having software that is understandable, testable, submitted for code review to also ensure devices are not only bug-free, but also not being used for surreptitious activities etc. There could be numerous functions for such a body. Obviously, that will create a "bottleneck" for innovation/product to market but not if you make the companies who want to release the products, fund it.

This group could also legislate certain classes of smart devices/features need to be able to fallback to manual mode when electronics are inoperable. i.e. door handles on cars, power/input/volume on TVs, Fridges must continue to cool even their smart display/features etc.

I'm probably guilty of overreach.
