Remember how a decade and a half ago everyone was convinced that taxi drivers and truck drivers would be replaced by AI in the coming years? There were even mass protests over it, and governments started to make contingency plans and enact legislation. The topic was discussed to death non-stop all over the internet and news media, just like AI is right now. Meanwhile today not a single driver has lost their job, and in fact there are shortages in all these industries.

Don't try and solve a problem before it is even a problem. Heck if anything good AI generated voiceovers will be a huge boost to the indie gaming industry, so I hope it can actually happen.

We also used to have a middle class consisting of horseshoers, elevator operators, and gas station attendants.

Many programmers do little more than glue together framework code, and make an excellent living doing it. Little sets them apart other than how fast they jump to the framework of the week. There's not a lot of separation from rent-seeking.

What would you do to change the direction of things? Make AI illegal, and hope there aren't companies that will just use it anyways?
in Marquez's Autumn of the Patriarch,he repeatedly mentions that the sea had been sold to the Americans. and in the background, we can see how much poorer everyone there is for it. before, they had easy wealth, and now just squabbling over dirt.

maybe people should have the right to not choose not to sell their homes
I'd say it is a paradox to ask this question on an Internet forum.. :)
My wife had one around 2004, best screen I had ever seen. We were able to get it to run Ubuntu.
This take is so tired. They’re stuck posting where engagement is because there’s nowhere near the level of discussion elsewhere.

Participating in something and trying to discuss how it could be improved when you disagree with it is normal human behavior.
The Xbox team have just had terrible leadership choices.

The One was a miss from the beginning , trying to be more than a gaming console and falling short on all fronts. The name didn’t help either.

Then they picked an even worse name for the Series X and and Series S. while implementing a necessity for parity. confusing the market and holding back devs.

The 360 was effectively a flash in the pan IMHO, helped by a significant misstep on Sony’s part with the PS3 design, and Nintendo moving to create their own market with the Wii that effectively made it a companion console rather than a competing one.
Having founded a company in Germany, I would never under any circumstances do it again.

Notaries should not exist, and could be replaced by a simple website.

It's all incredibly tedious and slow, and there are lots of reoccurring work and fees. Closing a company takes 2-3 years too, even if there are no irregularities.
> So, coating the sensor’s “drum” head with concanavalin A, a bean protein with a strong affinity for sugar molecules, produced a glucose sensor

That sounds like a one-off solution that lasts a few days to a few weeks, and then another implant is needed. I don’t think the proteins at the sensor surface can be recycled during use.
What is it exactly that you think you're replying to? All this was about was someone thinking there was no use for debug builds. You're hallucinating some sort of discussion or argument about distributed software, services, updates, none of it is even coherent to what is being talked about.
what's the bpm range of lezginka?

off the top of my head, 116 seems slow; guess those guys will have serious work to do on their quads & hamstrings?

130+ for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5vLNRCIF0k ?

(yes, this all assumes that bpm be well defined)

> Everything runs directly as root - nginx, php-fpm, smb,

For the record: you need root on Linux to open ports below 1000. By necessity, these programs need at least one thread that runs as root just from that.

Can't comment on the rest. As I never used it. Fedora server + cockpit UI was enough for me when I switched from my Synology NAS the other day
Are you sure brtfs is supported in production by your commercial Linux distribution? I would be surprised if this is true. RedHat and Ubuntu do not support it.
Why was it awful? That would be my dream. The first thing I would do is enrol in online courses/ get a second job.
It depends. For example, when Ubuntu first appeared and Canonical hired some prominent Debian maintainers, they were criticized for that. But I believe the final net benefit was positive.

The problem here is what happens when Amazon stops to pay them. If the owner of the project is a foundation or a similar organization, it may have better chances of survival.
Autonomous driving doesn't exist. Convincing Text to speech does, it is just a matter of tooling around it.

And all other video game industries, which will also not be paying voice actors.
What is open podcasting, and why does it matter?
Deliberately making art that people think sucks seems like kind of a low bar?
This only cuts compute by “up to” 50% and only during inference. Quadratic dependence on context size remains, as do the enormous memory requirements. For something to be considered a bulls eye in this space it has to offer nonlinear improvements on both of these axes, and/or be much faster to train. Until that happens, people, including Google will continue to train bog standard MoE and dense transformers. Radical experimentation at scale is too expensive even for megacorps at this point.
> It has the same issue with Reddit's little fiefdoms: moderators still lord over everyone and control speech, the algorithm, your feed, and your freedom.

That's a feature, not a bug. Whatever your preferences, there's an ActivityPub instance with moderation you'll like. Want to be in a liberal thought bubble? It's there. Want nothing but all Trump, all the time? They have that. Only the good things about astrology? Yep. Aggressive blocking of anti-science woo? Sure.

Moderation decisions are made at the instance level, not the network level. There are instances that take a laissez-faire approach. Others are quite heavy handed. Most are somewhere in the middle. Users can pick which sounds best to them and find servers that align with their wishes.

>You’ve heard this one, I’m sure: Buy experiences, not things. Have you noticed how it’s always delivered with more than a hint of smug condescension? How it always seems to be a value judgment on the way you live your life?

Yes, and that's because if you need to hear it, then clearly how you live your life isn't working for you.

And a common mode of failure of "living one's life" is buying stuff and thinking this will make you a better person, more creative, fix your personal issues, cure depression and so on.

It's not just some "personal failure": it's a failure the coprorate world spends trillions in aggregated add budgets to encourage, and that a large part of the economy, from fast fashion to tech gadgetry, all the way to "gear acquisition syndrome" for musicians, depends upon.

>It seems to me that the advice is almost always coming from two types of people: the extroverted, or the terminally online. The extrovert wants you to travel. Travel is the magic panacea to all of life’s problems. (...) The terminally online thinks you should only own an iPhone and a Mac. Since that’s enough for them, because all they do is sit in front of a screen all day, then that should be enough for you too

A, the gift of not just one, but two strawmen!

Because in a world with quite a lot of mindless consumption (sorry, "shopping therapy") going on, accompanied with quite a lot of depression, it's only "travel more" or "only own a laptop and a smartphone" that people advocating for minimalist suggest.

Not "be purposeful in what you buy" or "don't devote yourself to passively consuming", or "don't let the things you own define you" or "the next gizmo/jacket/synth/camera/whatever is not going to make you happy", or "buy less junk, focus on buying higher quality", or "don't overcomplicate your life", and so on - and lots of other pieces of useful advice.

Trivial? It's only trivial if you already follow it, which many don't.

Redundant? It's only redundant if they're happier not following it, which many are not - in fact, not following it makes them depressed in an endless grind.
The original XBox didn’t compete against the PSX. It was one generation later competing with the PS2, DreamCast and GameCube
This is no better than cruise control. I can even argue that it's worse. With cruise control, you know that you have to keep your hands on the road, period. But with FSD, you begin to trust it because most of the time it can work without trouble. It's the unexpected fails that are dangerous, even deadly, as you are traveling at 60+ mph and you are not ready to act.

Tesla needs to release safety data to better understand how useful it is. The fact that it has not, speaks volumes as to its safety and usefulness.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how useful it might be to represent Prometheus data in a frequency domain, to visualize weekly, daily, and yearly access patterns in capacity planning. Autoscaling can avoid brownouts but it can’t tell you what your annual budget should be. Or why.

But Prometheus data isn’t really a sampling interval. Even if each machine in you cluster is reporting on an interval, they aren’t synchronized.
I mean incorporation of a new company.

>When a human makes a mistake, the human can be found responsible

Where corporations or similar entities (law firms, Hospitals, etc, the vast majority of human workers) are concerned, humans are rarely held accountable. Getting fired is not being held accountable. That's just getting rid of a liability and is an option available for AI as well.

If negligence of proper quality processes causes a shipment of products to blow up, then the compensation for a new product, possible medical bills and other damages are almost never paid off by the negligent human(s) but by the corporation he/she worked for.

A corporation can be sued to bankruptcy while it's employees and even CEO and/or founder are financially just fine.

>and in the vast majority of cases just having been informed about the mistake will ensure that they don't make that mistake again.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. There is far from a guarantee.

>However the same cannot be said of AI. A current generation medical AI could simultaneously ace exams for getting an MD and confidently lie to patients about basic health knowledge for no discernable reason, on par with intentionally giving an untreated dysfunctional schizophrenic an MD.

AI can have failure modes different from humans. This is true. This is also something we have dealt with and currently deal with. Animals don't have the same failure modes as humans either. We work with them still because they are useful all the same.

And frankly, this is becoming far less of an issue as LLMs are being scaled up. I do not think GPT-4 is really susceptible to this particular issue you have mentioned.

>Even if Google Assistant or Siri were literal human secretaries, they'd be completely useless if they required being within arms reach of a device where you can just type and read. Speech is simply not an efficient enough communication method.

Secretaries exist still for a reason. If you had one accessible via speech on your phone, you would do far more than what Siri and Google Assistant are capable of.

But sure, everyone will have different utilities for one.

Funny, I was just thinking about building something like this since I bought a z-wave smoke alarm listener and it does not work with my first alert system and it really annoys me. It can't be that hard, right? Even something that just detects extremely loud sounds would be useful despite false positives

Germany loves endless bureaucratic paperwork which absolutely must be done in person (and good luck getting an appointment in Berlin), despite the many years of bleating about Digitalisierung which has apparently amounted to nothing.
> Assuming FSM is referring to defects

No. It is referring to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but is an analogy for anything including defects. This is discussion about epistemology not filesystems.
It was at the time, it may not be now.
> Why is there always this kneejerk "bad!" reaction to AI?

I don’t interpret the OP as slamming AI. It’s criticism of the way in which companies find ways to save a few dollars.

It is illegal for me to get a second job. You can not do meaningful learning for that many hours. I was doing it in my free time anyway, that was enough for me.

Not to cry about my mental health, but it was very taxing for me. I was just sitting around doing random things occasionally.
The license defines it: "Making the functionality of the Program or modified version available to third parties as a service includes, without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the Program or modified version."

I'm definitely not a lawyer; but as a layman I would interpret that as meaning you can't just change a few cosmetic things in the API to get around these terms, since that clearly still "entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version" as well as "accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the Program or modified version".

There's certainly edge cases here which I assume will remain a gray area unless they're eventually worked out in court as part of some lawsuit. But given the intent of the license terms and motivation for adopting it (preventing cloud providers from reselling infrastructure software as a managed service), I would really not expect to see lawsuits against non-cloud providers. I mean there's no logical motivation whatsoever for vendors of SSPL-licensed software to start suing random users who aren't competitors. If they wanted payments from all self-host users, they would have used a very different license.

So my guess is the only way this goes to court is if a cloud provider blatantly violates those SSPL terms, which seems unlikely to happen.
This was a great read and reminiscent of Kerouac (to me). It also makes me think of a life a consciously decided I didn't want after I finished art academy. I've seen others who did and got out after decades of trying and failing. I was lucky to figure out that going to art school to become an artist is a pipe dream.
> evidenced by Nintendo's recent actions against a Switch emulator

The counter argument to this misinterpretation of the case is addressed in the first sentence of your linked article.

"Dolphin's included decryption key is key to Nintendo's DMCA arguments."

So the point stands. There are absolutely ways to do emulation that is legal.
Because “AI” or LLMs have no understanding of what they’re producing, and every single attempt to use them in an environment where basic factual correctness is involved has confirmed this?

Or the fact that the entire sales pitch is “this will be cheaper than actual people who know what they’re doing”, maybe a side claim of “outperforms people on our training set” coupled with “we accept no liability for inaccurate advice or poor outcomes”.

The sole purpose of programs like these is to save money. It has nothing to do with helping anyone. The goal is to sound like your system is providing the service people paid for, without actually spending the money to provide that service.

I will believe a company will is doing the right thing when the developers personally accept the criminal and legal liability that an actual doctor or nurse providing the service is subject to.

But then to add insult to injury this just further increases the wait time for people by forcing them to deal with the “AI” before they get through to the further reduced pool of actual specialists and correspondingly increased wait times there as well.

This is not rocket science to understand, and literally nothing I’ve said here is new - not the clear prioritization of cost cutting, the overselling of “AI”, and the generally unsafe use of randomized statistical models to provide factual information.

My question is why you think that this time is different vs literally every other example?
> “But those weren’t real jobs,” some might say.

No one is saying that. What people are saying is that technology has routinely made certain jobs irrelevant since the beginning of human civilization, and no one can do anything about it other than accept it and move on. Soon enough new ones will spring up to take their place. Sharing and commenting on variations of the same article every single day is certainly not helping anyone's jobs.

10 years of dream to overnight success and 100k revenue
I am a software developer from India.

I started my graduation in computer science in 2010. But got a computer in 2011 only (funny I know, but I couldn't afford it that time).

After graduation I joined Accenture but then left it to join a startup as an early employee in 2015. Worked there for 4 years saw it grow from 3 employees to 200+ employees.

Pay was good now. Life was improving. And then I got a job offer which was 10 times more than what I got in first job.

Life improved more. But the itch to start something my own was not making me to rest.

Although, I started several projects (and sold some of them) but none of them seemed to be a "real" product that can push me to leave my job and go full time.

Then in 2023 I started working on a Typeform alternative called Youform after getting lot of demand from my previous product (Botflow).

While building it and juggling between full time work, a freelancing client and a pregnant wife, I somehow managed to cross 200 free users by December 2023.

Then in late December my now Co-founder (then client) pitched me to do it together.

I was bit hesitant at the beginning. The pay at my current job was awesome and life was comfortable.

But something told me to go for it.

So I left my job in Feb 2024 and launched the paid plan on 12th Feb 2024.

Since then we have made around $20,000 in revenue in lifetime deals sale.

There are days when it is making 100,000 INR in a single day (which is huge in India where I live). For context this is half the amount I spent in my 4 years of engineering degree.

It is past midnight here. I am sitting alone typing it and thinking how my life has changed. It is beautiful and I can't be thankful enough.
With ActivityPub you are still putting everything in one basket. All the federation is completely optional and identities are not transferable. But unlike big corps, that generally care very little about what you do, a whole lot of ActivityPub instances are heavily politically motivated and love to block or defederate.
What you can do is liquidate the company and set up a non-profit fund with that money with explicit mandate to do the clean-up. Let the non-profit invest said money ethically to fund its operations.

Ideally, of course, the initial capital should also include the personal wealth of all the top management personally responsible for this.

> Many of the owners of the company are pensions funds, etc., that are held by the middle class. You can't reasonably squeeze money from everyone who had an ETF that contained 3M.

And why not? Do you not see how this kind of system is deliberately engineered to produce pushback under just such a pretense by, effectively, diluting and spreading responsibility wide enough across society? OTOH if we stop taking the "ohnoes, it will hurt all those middle class investors" argument seriously, it would actually encourage people to invest ethically instead of just blindly giving their money to whichever random sociopath offers the highest return.

(And yes, I do have considerable personal investments of my own.)

I have to assume they told the cop that pulled them over that they didn't have their license on them (even if they did). And when the cop ran their name their picture looked similar enough (and maybe the name even matched the owner of the vehicle).

Each time I saw this come up the defendants had spent 2-3 days in the jail before they got a hearing. I can't imagine how pissed I would be. The first few days in jail are the absolute worst. Imagine trying to tell all the jail staff that they've got the wrong person? Oh, how they'd laugh...
I think it's more of an arcitectural issue. If you were a node operator, would you peer with a dedicated racial hatred AP node? What if a small minority of your users complained that you blocked it.

With something like nostr, you are free as a relay operator to block whatever makes you feel uncomfortable, while users can just get that content from some other relay without having to create a new account and move their entire social graph over.
