I can’t believe anyone buys it anymore. It feels like it was just yesterday when they were begging for a pause on training “dangerous” models (where danger was defined as “anything better than our flagship product”).
it would be quite funny if it just ended up being basic desktop tower PCs
>I'm fairly convinced that they keep the data even after you delete it.

Honest question: How young are you? This reads like someone who's very young and naive learning for the first time how the digital world works.
The API rugpull was a real setback for content and if they had followed through with claims at the time to allow charged access that could have worked but they never rolled anything out it was just a ruse.
I watched a bunch of the examples and none of them look real to me. As in, the “blurry” version looks like a video which was blurred after the fact instead of something which was captured with that low resolution.

I’m not saying they faked the upscaling, but upscaling a result which was artificially downscaled is not the same as upscaling what started as a bad capture.

I’ll have to read the paper to understand if that was indeed the case.
Sometimes I just want the opinion of an actual human being. It's hard to find that online anymore, without affiliate links and/or $COMPANY_NAME deleting negative remarks.

I have to believe that with LLM's improving, and posts from Reddit used for training data, that a large number of current 'new' posts are bots.

I just read article about marketing companies using bots that post 'pretty good comments, that slightly agree with you but mention the product'.
My framework 13 does exactly what I want. It is a small relatively light Laptop with great Linux support, very nice display and good selection of ports.

I wouldn't buy a MacBook for software reasons, the Framework takes many design elements from it though.
Well, this depends on your point of view. GNU/Linux has been very fine for more than a decade now, but it obviously is not a MS Windows clone. Not because it is less capable -- quite to the contrary -- but because it is less opinionated how things should be.

Now I could go into a rant about tradeoffs and choices and how freedom is hard and so on, but I don't feel like it.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit ends up either banning people for this or limit edits on historic comments.

They already restore user comments against their will (and hilariously that’s also against their own reddiquette see extract below)

https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/14dcxy4/reddit_res...

> Repost deleted/removed information. Remember that comment someone just deleted because it had personal information in it or was a picture of gore? Resist the urge to repost it. It doesn't matter what the content was. If it was deleted/removed, it should stay deleted/removed.
The aim might actually be innocent, but it leads to abuse of power.

The imbalance of power is common and inevitable, the abuse of power needs some prerequisites. One of those is knowing so much that you know you can get away with the abuse.
This post was about the US market not Europe or anywhere else.
Seems like big investors also fall easily for the Sunken Cost fallacy. Instead of a fire sale as we'd expect they prefer to trust yet again Elon's words, the same person saying that FSD will become a reality in the next 3-6 months for the past 8 years...

My belief is that Elon himself is in a tight spot now, if Tesla's financials continue to falter he will lose the last bit of trust which will probably unwind it all, probably including ouster him as CEO. He keeps promising dreams (FSD and robotaxis, Cybertruck, etc.) and not delivering them, instead he's losing public trust and respect, at some point the chickens will come home to roost.
First of all, Maldives not Mauritius. Their current president won on a campaign of India out and then a minister said Indians smell and something about cowdung. I guess we Indians need to develop thick skins and still go to Maldives for leisure travel because self respect is only reserved for westerners.
>Is there any hope of genuine competition in this space

No.
I'd argue that google might still be #1 on compute. TPUs and excess capacity from cloud buildouts give quite a margin.
> I tried to follow up with a GDPR request, which they answered dishonestly and incomplete

Based on what?
Japan gets way better small car options than the US.
Android comes to mind.

My low-end Xiaomi backup phone is a good example. It’s so dirt cheap I’m quite sure most of my money goes into the hardware itself.

I could debloat it, but eh, it’s just a cheap backup phone so I can tolerate the ads and bloats.
It's not that the individual services are expecsive per se it's just that theres too many of them. I don't want to sub to yet another service just for one show.
Facebook had the most open and used social platform for third party apps, and it was so successful that it was blamed for an election, and they had to cut back usage sharply.
> When Sam Altman is calling for AI regulation

Sure; that's almost certainly not being done in good faith.

When numerous AI experts and luminaries who left their jobs in AI are advocating for AI regulation, that's much more likely to be being done in good faith.

> What is this regulation aimed at making AI safer

https://pauseai.info/

> Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any agreement on whether or how AI, at a state remotely similar to the level it is at today, is dangerous

You could also write that as "there's no agreement that AI is safe". But that aside...

Most of the arguments about AI safety are not about current AI technology. (There are some reasonable arguments about the use of AI for impersonation, such as that AI-generated content should be labeled as such, but those are much less critical and they aren't the critical part of AI safety.)

The most critical arguments about AI safety are not primarily about current technology. They're about near-future expansions of AI capabilities.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.01933

> how to mitigate that danger

Pause capabilities research until we have proven strategies for aligning AI to human safety.

> How can you even attempt to regulate in good faith without that?

We don't know that it's safe, many people are arguing that it's dangerous on an unprecedented scale, there are no good refutations of those arguments, and we don't know how to ensure its safety. That's not a situation in which "we shouldn't do anything about it" is a good idea.

How can you even attempt to regulate biological weapons research without having a good way to mitigate it? By stopping biological weapons research.

I mean, even if that were the case, if batteries were free, electric cars would handily outdo internal combustion cars; car engines are _really_ inefficient compared to large gas turbines (absolute best case under 40%, realistically closer to 20%).

> the only money that we spend is in trying to get to those condensed and stored" resources and to transport them (oil wells, digging coal-mines etc)

That's a huge "the only"; we're already seeing solar beat gas on pricing in some cases.
Yes, poor Reddit, just trying to feed their family.
Depends if your measurements are discrete or continuous. In a continuous domain with arbitrarily long precision, your voting system's failover triggers 100% of the time.

It's partly because Google started preferring more Reddit content.

It's more valuable to astroturf and spam in reddit than never before.
Amazon seems to be the closest thing, with its studio channel subscription modules. If only it wasn't world-eating Amazon!

(and if only the implementation did not suck: there are shows on "BBC player", of all things, that I can't get with an English audio track, only an atrocious German dub. Some even start perfectly fine and then surprise-switch to dub only in some later season)
It's happening to entire internet. A lot of content generated in last few months is AI, some pretty good, but not great, all kind of on 'crappy' side. The 'crappy' feedback loop into training data is going to be real problem.

Wonder if internet will migrate back to each person having their own blog that they can control.
people want control. not every app under the sun needs that regardless of what it devs think.

If there's an app that I only need when I open and don't care for it bg service then I should be able to tell it f off. devs might think their widget phoning home everytime is worth my battery time, I might think otherwise.
to be fair, you can always have the package forwarded (that's what I did)

it's obviously not perfect, though
> localization costs a LOT of money.

Not necessarily, on the tech side, but localized support can get pretty hairy.

Also, it depends on what your product is. Many different nations have many different laws, and localization is more than just changing the words in your screens.
Sonaar:

- You add the TV shows you want to track, and when new episodes are released (or when it detects you're missing episodes/seasons) it automatically pings the torrent search indexer/s you've connected to find the torrent for that show.

- The indexer then sends back the torrent magnet info to Sonarr, and Sonarr then sends that to the torrent client you've connected it to which starts the download.

---

Radarr does the same thing as Sonarr, but with a focus on movies.

In terms of connecting torrent indexers to Sonarr + Radarr etc, you'd want to use either Prowlarr or Jackett to handle that.

---

So a general flow could be
Sonarr (tracks show and requests new episode) =>

Prowlarr (searches torrents and finds the torrent magnet link) =>

Sonarr (takes torrent magnet link and requests the download to start) =>

qbittorrent (starts the download) =>

JellyFin (scans your media downloads and gives you a media center/streaming interface to watch your shows on your devices)

---

Overseer is meant to combine the TV/Movie tracking with content discovery into one interface. This way, you can track your shows and find new ones, and it handles sending those requests over to Sonarr/Radarr.

Yeah, I won't argue with that. But these services file service also have:

Long URLs when shared with public:

Which doesn't exactly make it great to spellout, whenever I want to share it to someone near me. I would use Generate QR but then again that's an additional extra step for me and for, reciever. Rather than going to chrome/safari and directly using.

Plus, all these service want you and reciever to come to their page so they can collect data from both sides sharer and reciever. They don't provide direct links easily. Some like GDrive, even would require a third party tool to get a direct link if you don't want to open browser and directly download in WSL or Any Linux Subsystem.

Not to mention buggy UI in Google Drive app on Android, Limited downloads in FileTransfer(20) , Sprend(5).

But any of the above problems can arise if you realy want to share file some amazing file to your friend and it turns out you're stuck at download speed or something.

DoShareMe is built for reliablility, better UI, easy access, direct links and privacy all in one.
Is React a core Facebook asset? Where is Facebook sharing their ad tech? That’s the closest thing Facebook has to a core technology. Even Facebook’s ability to technologically scale isn’t that much of a core differentiator. We haven’t really seen a truly competing social network even get to the point where this was a problem. Facebook’s core is, if anything, the (social) network itself, which is something that it DEFINITELY closely protects.
We can do more than one thing at a time. (Or, more to the point, different people can do different things.) We can advocate against misuses of current capabilities, and advocate about the much larger threats of future capabilities.
There is a torrent of all Reddit comments up till at least 2020 floating around. And I'm pretty sure they have the rest of the data ready to sell to AI companies.

GDPR is irrelevant here and won't help - Reddit wants the text, not the PII surrounding it.
Let me tell you how I did it.
I remember I wanted to start using Linux full-time no BS and have had some exposure to the terminal. I took the opportunity of a new position, I said I had to use Linux for the day-to-day activities and they bought it. So I had to use the terminal/Linux without disrupting any of the necessary activities.

Meanwhile, I read the beginning half of "The Linux Command Line" [1]. I highly recommend it. Looking back, I might have read it until part 2 and skimmed the rest, and read it as I needed it.

Try to do everything through the terminal. File creation, reading, managing stuff, changing wifi, configuring editors, writing files. Try to find the conversion tools with the rest of the "world". Some examples of what I mean are pandoc for md->docx conversion, python pandas for csv -> xlsx. Build small scripts for your tasks. For example, I work in a multilingual company and I have a tool for translation which at first used Google Translate and now uses gpt.
At some point in the journey I even had my own custom dwm build. Fun times. Do read about suckless software, a fun philosophy with some genuine principles, and a nice (but not friendly) ecosystem.

So my recommendation is to read something to give you breadth on linux/terminal knowledge so you can navigate around and stick to it as your main driver.

Another book one I recommend is the "Unix and Linux system administration handbook"[2]. It will tell you more about the history and inner workings when compared to the previous one.

Dave's Garage is pretty interesting. He worked at Microsoft and wrote things like the Task Manager and Zip folders. He tells old stories and gives the inside scoop on how some of those things came to be.
Oooh I see map projections. Could the plotter be coded to handle bottles of different contours?
The arson was about localised issues (as another comment mentioned, groundwater and local deforestation), so yeah, they could think about the bigger picture for environmental impact but instead they focused on the local one.

You can probably worry about big and small problems at the same time, it's not like because the world is burning that you will allow or ignore a company contaminating the groundwater you and your neighbours use.
battery-wise it's a sacrifice, but only because I run linux

wouldn't really be a problem if I were on windows
Based on the information provided being contradictory with itself, and omitting things that were at that time plainly visible on the site. Also, there were comments restored against my will from years ago, which were not contained in the data dump, even though others were. Which means that Reddit holds data in other places (otherwise they would have been unable to restore that), but have not detailed them in the GDPR request, which means that they have answered dishonestly and incomplete.
Button-y interface can be handled on basically any IO-heavier 8-bit microcontroller with some muxes as all it needs is to handle interrupts and emit event messages over whatever-bus. The solution can even be hard real-time if there is such requirement.

Touchscreen will probably run atop whatever OS powers infotainment system. In theory touch events CAN be handled on the same 8-bit uC, but converting click coordinates to button-press messages requires knowing what is visible on the screen, which either hinders expressiveness of touch interface (fixed islands for controls) or complicates implementation (constant updating of element-coordinate maps). The moment safety-critical control runs along with non-safety software huge validation challenges arise - the performance characteristics of the whole system, including UI, must become at the very least bounded.

Hard button solution can be internally commoditized, whereas soft button solution requires constant babysitting throughout development lifecycle. One is much more expensive than the other, however, once the move is made incremental cost drops dramatically.
I think that a good portion of the problem is that there are groups involved in metrics:

1) People setting the metrics

2) People implementing/calculating the metrics

3) People working on improving the metrics (ie product work)

2 is specially complicated for a lot of software products because it can some times be really hard to measure and can be tweaked/manipulated. For example, the MAU twitter figures from the buyout that Musk keeps complaining about, or Blizzard constantly switching their MAU definition.

Often 2 and 3 are the same people and 1 is almost always upper management. I argue that 1 and 2 should be a single group of people (that doesn't work on the product at all) and not directly subject to upper management and not tracked by the same metrics they implement (or tracked by any metrics at all).
“How can we let everyone know we have absolutely zero pride in our flagship product?”
Not just pricing, but that's a big part of it. Streaming services tend to have garbage UI's, content that gets removed after x amount of time, and filled with ads (sometimes unskippable). The user experience can be so much better with pirating.
I used to never pirate, paid for everything.

I was dumb and bought Mythbusters on a PS4 many years ago. Can no longer watch it, they removed the content. Have HBO Max, they had Mythbusters on it, started watching it again. Midway through they started to remove content.

I bought a show, and can no longer watch it, can't even watch it on a streaming service, that I pay for, that owns the rights to the content.

I'm full on pirate now. I gave them money and they removed my ability to watch the content I paid for.
The problem is that with giant trade deficits since the the Reagan Era, either Americans scale down their consumption habits by a lot, or America needs to export more.

America can't rely on the global appetite for the US dollar and US Treasury Bonds forever to keep consuming what other countries consume.

The Petro Dollar is not going anywhere anytime soon, but it definitely has a future expiration date. The global demand for the dollar and US bonds won't disappear tomorrow, but it will cool down somewhere in the future, and thus America can't let go of international markets, unless it wants to downsize a lot.

And the problem with Downsizing is that due to the absurd levels of wealth concentration, the middle-class and the poor are really poorly equipped for such a thing.

We are not on the 50's and 60's anymore when the US share of the global GDP was almost half of it, if we measure it using PPP, it is only about 15%, less than China. America can't just rest on its laurels, it needs to be globally competitive.
The key point for someone "who wants full control over my system" is that *you*, the end user, have the final say over what programs are entitled to.
This is not whataboutism - I am not saying it's not wrong because others do it too, or that it's not antisemitism. I am not presenting any opinion or judgment. I am trying to understand whether it's considered to be the same or different.

BTW my grandfather was in a Nazi concentration camp. I guess that says enough about what I think. But my opinion is not the matter here.
Show HN: Edge-CSRF – CSRF protection at the edge (Next.js, SvelteKit)
This is a small JavaScript library that implements CSRF protection for Next.js and SvelteKit except it only uses edge runtime dependencies so it can be used in both node environments and edge functions (e.g. Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Page Functions).

I just launched V2 with support for SvelteKit and it would be useful to get some feedback from HN security folks before adding more framework integrations and developing this further.
Another flavor of this would let the user submit their comment and it'd suggest a semantically similar excerpt from "non-"copywritten text. That'd address the edit reversion dilemma.
Anomalib: Anomaly detection library comprising cutting-edge algorithms
They're letting my imagination run away with me. Imagine:

A tablet form factor with a documented electrical interface for magnetic attachments (like an MS Surface style keyboard) that can run Android or Linux, or be repurposed for embedded or IoT touch interfaces.

A NUC or Raspberry Pi type device with a beefy AMD SoC inside, with optional battery support. Maybe it's thin and light enough that it could have snap-on touchscreen and gaming attachments that Lego together into a custom Steam Deck.

A solid TV without any built-in advertising junk, maybe running Android. The chassis, display panel, controller board, CPU board, and remote control can be purchased separately, of course.

A sleek and repairable smartphone where you can even replace the stock Android with Linux, where all the peripherals are documented and have open drivers, so with the right software you can have a Linux phone that doesn't suck.
In a way, that's what the PGO mode of the compiler is
Also random episodes disappearing for reasons. And series disappearing halfway while you're watching them.
After 5 years working towards a 3rd product line doesn't seem that crazy. Specially because as he points out, lots of the design people don't have to continue to work on those products.

That's a hard question.

I prefer MIT or BSD, I but don't expect to see a single penny. And remember that it allows mega big corps to use and host and sell your program. I don't mind it, so it's totally fine for me, but other people get angry.

For a server tool you can use AGPL that force everyone hosting your program to share the improvements. Many bussines don't like it, so it will get less adoption. You can sell a comercial licence for the (A)GPL haters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-licensing

I hate CLA! But if you start your project as AGPL, accept contributions and later decide to transform it to MIT, it would be very difficult. With a CLA you can change the licence to MIT or to propietary or a weird licence. I don't like it becuse it gives too much power to the mantainers. I'd not send PR to projects with CLA.
I spent over a week upgrading a project last January, over what was supposed to be my winter break... Had to rewrite some of the core internals from scratch to prepare for this. I'm not saying they weren't good changes, but the urgency is not nice haha.
I think it's interesting that this is an emotional trigger topic for HN (along with anything having to do with right to repair, digital privacy, etc).

In most things, if you post a comment with points of discussion you get a thoughtful response here.

However on HN trigger topics, you get emotionally downvoted and nobody wants to engage in discussion.

Instead of linking to a youtube video from the r/fuckcars filter bubble, is there any succinct points to refute why a 3X greater population density would not naturally result in greater public transportation formation?

Or is it just the "dumb americans" and their "evil car culture?" With no further investigation of the first-principles reasons that culture was formed?
