> Because the point of art was to communicate or convey something with other people and the AI has no idea because its not human.

This is mixing up art with the art industry. Artists will struggle just like copywriters are struggling after the arrival of LLMs. Not everything in the art industry is trying to break new artistic ground or communicate some deep emotion to the listsener. For much of the industry, "good enough" will suffice if it's 10x cheaper.
Think about the fact that education is pretty much free there. They even pay for Western institutions to set up satellite campuses. You’d think they should have the most educated and skilled labor in the world. At some point, you have to realize it’s cultural: they don’t want to work.

Funny you mention Switzerland because they have some of the highest skilled labor in the world.
Since the author wrote in go, an approximate equivalent would sort the keys by default (assuming you decode into a map and Marshall that).
Evan Debenham, creator of Shattered Pixel Dungeon [1], gave a talk about how he makes balance and other changes to the game based on analytics gathered from the game’s players [2]. This is used to determine the relative strength of different aspects of the game by seeing how a player’s engagement with a particular aspect correlates with win rate.

This, of course, needs to be checked by community feedback on changes to the game because perfect balance doesn’t always equal fun!

Why is this not just unconditionally enabled?
Yes, but how do you prove that it was after one of the teams publishes their work? It seems nearly impossible.
I am regularly concerned about using UUIDs in a public-facing way, since that would encourage people to make "vanity" UUIDs somehow. Requiring some kind of value to be hashed to create the UUID would sidestep this a little.
That explains why it might have been an appealing concept to the inceptor but it's still daft and it was obvious to me from the start that it wouldn't actually be made. I still don't know why anybody humored the premise of this thing getting built.
I don't think those examples are equivalent at all. Food isn't just about taste, but could literally kill you. Not many people have friends who recite poetry. And as for love, that's something that takes years to meaningfully develop.

But, I barely know any musical artist's name today. Most music is just something to listen to at the gym. It's pleasant enough, but I don't dig in to know who is singing at all. Every source is equivalent to me, as long as it's pleasant to the ear.

Perhaps you're different. The only question is, which attitude is more prevalent?
Aren't those patents expired? It's been >20yr since application.
Yeah, surprised at the amount of comments here about how good it sounds. The voice is full of artifacts, making it quite uncomfortable.
Yeah, they're the same reasons for me, but I'd like to say that depending on your use case, some stock firmwares are ok.

Recently, my father bought the same eink device I have (Kobo Clara HD), and I promptly installed KOReader only to realize that the stock Kobo firmware (which, btw, you can and should update even if you use KOReader) is perfectly fine for him, and in fact better for his experience than the enormous amount of options and menus that KOReader offers.

For me it's KOReader all the way, as I love the freedom, the fine-grained configuration possibilities, the connectivity. It's great that it exists.
Obligatory "falsehoods programmers believe about names" comment: in Welsh, "Ll" is technically a single _letter_. It even has its own unicode point, U+1EFA, though I couldn't tell you anyone that actually uses that. Most people just type 'l' twice.

One of the most common place name prefixes is "Llan" which means "church", as in that Llanfair... place with a long name for the tourists.

If you were to load a list of community wards in Wales and type L, that would get you to Laleston (near Bridgend), and typing L again this way would make you step through a few more before the "Llans" start.

Worse still, this way there doesn't seem to be a way to type "Llanberis" (near Snowdonia/Eryri, highly recommended for hiking trips!) because it will interpret the second L as a sign to jump from Laleston to Lampeter, and then the A will put "La" not "Lla" in the box? Or does it remember that you typed "Lla" and fill this in when you press the A key?

EDIT: read it again and this is actually in the last paragraph. It _does_ remember the second L you typed.

Then it's Goodhart law in action. A fast transit system is desirable because it's a proxy for low-friction travel. This has the speed and the friction.
I'm sorry that your sisters died from drug abuse. I feel for your loss, but please realise that substance abuse is not the same as losing yourself in an interest or hobby.

You make the assumption that you are absolutely right about a "garbage obsessed" person. That's reasonable when it comes to substance abuse, but it's unlikely to be reasonable when it comes to an obsession. If you are not willing to consider you're wrong about the obsession, you shouldn't have the conversation.

Even if you're right, a truly obsessed person is not going to listen someone who's full of their own righteousness. But chances are you're just wrong, and then the conversation is just useless.

> If you turn off because of style, that's an excuse to avoid thinking about the content.

It's not an excuse, it's a reason. I like my obsessions. If someone is open and willing to understand, I am willing to explain or tell. But I do not care whether or not anyone thinks it's a garbage obsession. If that's all they're willing to talk about, I see no value in having the conversation.
LLMs can handle questions and answers they have never seen word by word before though.

Dubai lives from tourism now. Of course, it was bootstrapped by oil.
Human is still writing the prompt. That's your human element.

The prompt can be detailed, creative, and innovative. Kinda like a composer comes up with an idea for a new piece. But now the composer won't need the technical ability to translate it into musical notation.
I don't think that is the case. I think it would have to take a deeper understanding of double-entry accounting to really appreciate its genius. The key lies in the double entry that is made for each transaction. While each entry is simple, the beauty lies in how it provides the basis for detecting errors even in very large datasets simply by comparing totals - they must balance. In this context negative numbers do not provide any meaningful information at all.
I want to see someone seriously analyze what would happen if there was a power loss to the Line. Hundreds of thousands of people in a glass box in 50C weather with no AC sounds like a recipe for a record breaking mass casualty event.
Switzerland isn't the most progressive of countries (it only gave women the right to vote in 1971) but AFAIK you don't go to jail if you fuck a man in the ass, in contrast to UAE.

Not something that directly concerns me, but I'm personally more worried about restrictions on freedom of speech, but regardless not somewhere I'd be willing to live (I currently do live in Switzerland).
> Clearly you dislike gulf countries.

I'll be frank: I have a deep mistrust of any culture present in the Arabian peninsula since about 632 CE.
> Signing keys and encryption keys are separate things in PGP. If you don't want people to use your encryption key, don't encourage everyone to use it by uploading it to a keyserver.

I think most people don't know that, and/or don't know how to separate the two. At any rate, it's not particularly convenient. Most people will just generate one set of keys to use, regardless of the intended purpose(s).

Regardless, let's again realize that PGP keys can be used for more than just encrypting email. Maybe I'm using it to encrypt, but not for email.

> Yes please, practice what you preach.

Not sure what you mean. Attempting to equate the tone and words of my comment with that of the toplevel commenter seems a bit in bad faith.

Depending on the AI tool in question, and the level of control it offers the human, there can definitely be a human behind the message, even if the final output is AI generated, the human had a creative vision and used the available tools to make it happen.

It's no different than using Photoshop.

Unless you only consider art done with oil and on a canvas to be the "real thing."
That's a poignant question, but with an easy answer: If I didn't know, I'd probably enjoy it up to its imperfections. But I'd feel defrauded once I discovered.

Like so many people felt defrauded when they discovered that the Milli Vanilli leads didn't actually sing, and that wasn't even AI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milli_Vanilli

Edit: I might add that I already suspect any illustration that even superficially looks it might have been generated by AI. This has ruined the enjoyment of so many people's artwork whose style has been co-opted by AI.
You’re generalizing nearly 20 million people in Saudi Arabia alone. How this is even an acceptable thing to say on HN is beyond me.

The Gulf countries have more than enough expertise to manage and run their wealth for the foreseeable future. To say they’ll be poor again without oil is simply ignorant of the facts and probably related to the point I made above.
Sure, they could put money in education, research climate change and photovoltaic or other technologies and try to improve quality of life with sustainable stuff.

But to the people in power, only symbols and power are important.
The current email protocols can’t be easily encrypted. There are multiple providers and clients that are not compatible, you often have to put people in copy that don’t have public keys, or get replies in plaintext, you may want the content accessible to different people for documentation or legal purposes, some functionality will be broken or become hard to use, it’s asynchronous, and there is simply little demand for privacy from the providers.

The use cases are currently niche, in places like dark web.

I think the first place we will see large scale AI music replace 'real' music is in the 'lo-fi' background music that just about every bar, restaurant and shop has going in a loop. Instead of having various playlists, the restaurant owner can just choose between some styles, moods and tempos in an app and the AI will autogenerate an endless steam of background music that matches the vibe they are going for.
Show HN: I've Created an AI Monster
Last week, I came across sunoAI on X. I noticed many people were having fun with it, creating quirky tracks to share on Twitter. Intrigued, I tried it out and was impressed by the quality of the results.

As part of my journey in building 10 startups, I am always on the lookout for new ideas and sources of inspiration. Could I establish a music label using this technology? The seed of an idea was planted last week, and now, just one week later, we are officially live on all major streaming platforms.

Lars, AI-driven music label, you ask?

Well, let’s say 90%.

The songs are entirely AI-generated, including the sound mastering, with artwork created using Midjourney and artist names and website content crafted by chatGPT. Music videos were produced using tuneform, and even certain web components were developed with GitHub Copilot. Despite all this, 10% of human interaction was still necessary to bring it all together.

What comes next?

I have a plethora of songs lined up. My plan is to release a single every day, culminating in the launch of our first EP with five tracks over the weekend. Let's see if this strategy can attract a dedicated audience of listeners. If successful, my next step will be to introduce another artist specializing in a different genre.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this experiment.

Your feedback on the music would be greatly appreciated.

I think this rather misleads people about what an LLM actually is and why they are so capable.
Proton does this.

Right. And PGP doesn't "just work". So it's foolish to blindly assume someone can receive encrypted mail just because you found a key that seems to match on some public keyserver.

I'm confused. The conclusion seems to say that while participants were scrolling horizontally, their eyes moved less vertically... duh?! And that the effect was more significant if they had cycled before? Ok, so?!

Seems like an absolutely pointless finding, not to mention the fact that this was based on only 12 participants.
What do you mean? Access is one of the valuable things, not to mention the equipment the listening is done by is also usually bought.
I think that’s just what you’re used to. Since I switched from Java to Go 7 years ago, I don’t think I’ve missed inheritance a single time. I haven’t needed to model anything with inheritance once. There are definitely things I’ve missed from Java, but not inheritance.

Yes, you can mix your dislike into your opinions, but they still stay your opinions.

I'm interested in the technology, in the achievements that are possible, the problem solving and solutions found to do something of this scope.

It's not about lunatics or the ** arabs dictators or killers ** say what you want.

For example, the need for the special sand for the concrete. Their sand, which they have plenty of, is completely not suitable for this. It's too fine. So, how this will be solved?

The world could learn a lot of it - just imagine, you can use the Sahara sands instead of the special sands that need to be somehow and somewhere resourced atm. That would reduce the house building costs a lot and enable affordable housing everywhere. I'm talking about the proper way of housing, like in the story of the three pigs and the wolf.

So can you explain why you dislike technology and advancement in city buildings, experiments and new learnings? I don't quite get it.
> People with large vocabulary and advanced language expression capabilities will be discriminated in the not so far future, because their writings looks likely being written by AI. So, the recipient of such a text (full of non-ordinary wording and complicated grammer) might think it's written by AI, and, hence, don't take the sender/info seriously anymore.

I had this exact problem last year when one of my lecturers kept trying to accuse my of using AI to write my assignments. Worst experience ever.

These read like distinctions without differences.

Damage from social media use is gradual and insidious. Additionally, it's designed to be addictive, slowly pulling users in. There is no threshold that announces itself when users are addicted or have begun to "ignore a lot of good advice".

There's also no absence of discussion around the dangers of alcohol or drugs. And, there are actual laws regulating or outright banning their use.

But, even if it was absent from the discussion, that would not absolve social media. Is every world issue rendered illegitimate if we don't also mention the dangers of alcohol with equal fervor? It seems a random, meaningless requirement.

Anyway, thanks for the discussion.
I think they do all that. They have plenty of universities, also their other oil rich neighbours are pouring money into British and American educational institutions to open campuses there. IIRC some Ivy league universities from the Western world have campuses in the region.
I used to hear conspiracy stories all day long.

Working with mental health clients for 20 years.

If we all continue to not accept that conspiracy theories are valid we also choose to not accept that those people are valid.

Why is it that over the past few years those with different opinions are now called conspiracy theorists.

It is a very rare experience that I sit down with someone, in fact anyone, and we agree on all subject matter on the table. Just because someone has different views does not make them a conspiracy theorist.

There is always grain of truth in conspiracy theories.

In psychiatric wards over the world there are people who struggle with intrusive paranoid thoughts. Do we dismiss what they think, see and imagine as not being real? It is real to them.

To really understand these poeple you need to step inside their world and you will see that their is a grain of truth in what paranoid people are talking about.

If people feel helpless, that they are not being heard or they have no control over their lives, is it so hard to believe that they will cling on to something/anything that represents how they feel.

The lizard people on the moon who control our way of life on earth is a classic example. There are of course no lizard people living on the moon but I am sure many people feel that there are hidden forces controlling their lives that they have no influence upon.

I think it has a lot to do with the lack of transparency in the world of politics, government and tech. Without knowing the truth the mind will inevitably wander and make up stories.

Isnt this what conspiracy theories are. Stories built on snippets of truth.

I will never buy an eReader without support for koreader. It's absolutely essential to me, most importantly:

* Lots of quick fixes for poorly chosen CSS properties (called "style tweaks" in koreader), just apply them on-the-fly.

* Support for StarDict dictionaries, which you'll find plenty for all kinds of languages.

* Great PDF support with automatic or manual cropping, and special viewing mode for two columns, perfect for scientific papers.

* OPDS support so than I can easily download books from my Calibre library

* On Kobo, way, way more options to set the backlight (original firmware is way too bright in the dark even on lowest setting), many options to configure "warmth" of the backlight for late-night reading

* Great support for bookmarks

* Super easy to hack and contribute as almost everything is written in Lua
I've got an old NUC with Intel vPro support which allows out-of-band management including remote desktop, like you'd expect from drac/ilo on a dedicated server. Headless box living in a cupboard, sounded perfect.

It turns out that if the BIOS doesn't detect a monitor connected it puts the graphics card into power saving, so if you remote connect you get a blank screen rendering the whole thing useless. Took a while to work out what was going on too, I assumed firmware or networking issue to start. I also ended up buying a few of these dongles before finding one that actually worked.

How about arguments for OOP? Especially for things which can't be done better elsewhere.
Scrolling horizontally is physically painful for my eyes. And today's user interfaces use horizontal scrolling a lot, for some reason UI "designers" think it's a good idea to go, probably only because it's different than vertical scrolling, and that's the only reason.

Unlimited lists are also a bad UX paradigm (they're the main consumer of vertical scrolling). I don't get why people don't think about UX, even if it's their sole job to do so. It's like most web developers are on autopilot, taking what's available and using it without thinking about it. This is also why I don't like this web application trend.

I get really depressed when I think about today's user interface designs.

I want to run a experiment on humans to see if we are worthy of a turing test.

1. We tell a human (test subject) that they will be a judge but they are a test subject. We will tell them that there will be two chats -- one will have a human and the other will have a computer and they need to decide which is which.

2. We will then give them access to two real time chats but the twist is both of them will be humans.

3. Our test subject needs to rebel against the experiment and say they are both humans.

What percentage of the population will be able to say both chats are humans? Is this a humane experiment? Will any ethics board clear it? Does it have any scientific value?
