Really sad. I looked up to him. Trying to achieve brilliance in a field and then gathering a brilliant team and making money and then giving back is a great way to live.
I don't get it.

Like, it's one thing if a fact-collecting business like the NYTimes doesn't want its stories to train an MML. I think under current law they don't have much of a case, because facts aren't copyrightable, but there's a reasonable argument that the law should be updated somehow in light of technological change.

But the work produced by all StackExchange users is explicitly released under a CC BY-SA license. The whole point is to collect and publish facts/ideas/understanding for anyone to see and use for any purpose, including running a business. Yes, the "SA" (share alike) part means if you want to use and modify the words then you need to release them under license that is at least as permissive, but LLMs aren't using the words; they are clearly digesting the facts and expressing them in their own words. And, unlike the NYTimes, there is no issue of "couldn't new tech undermine society's current method of economically incentivizing fact-collection?". The StackExchange users are not being paid, and the fact that the license is not NC (non-commercial) explicitly means that using their hard work to make money is allowed (and encouraged!).
His whole RenTech story was fascinating.

Effectively an outsider in finance who gathered a bunch of other outsiders (aka big mathematicians), and decided to start a hedge fund that takes zero interest in the actual companies and trades solely on math. Which makes sense, since none of the main people involved in its creation had any corporate or finance experience, but tons of math experience and knowledge.

This is oversimplifying it like crazy, but I recommend anyone to anyone with even a passing curiosity for this look up the details (or read “The Man Who Solved The Market”, which is documenting the beginnings and growth of RenTech, as well as that of Simons; very enjoyable read).
not sure why you're commenting without even reading the linked 200 character post?

the maintainer has enabled all plugins (including network stuff) in the keepassxc-full package, the keepassxc package will be just the basics with a much better security posture.

that's obviously completely fine and completely within the remit of a maintainer, the entire complaint is about this being a change.

Same here, but it works in a private window.
I just tried finding a good resource and I can’t. All of them are mile long page scrolls… I don’t know how they have so much stuff to spew. Qiskit had amazing lessons with cool illustrations (although they did spew at the end) but I can’t even find that anymore on their site.

Don’t worry though, even the professional researchers I’ve worked with think it’s a waste of time. The field is screwed.

Here’s a quick explanation from me-
The state |x> means you have some qubits that represent the number x. Say you want to represent the number 13, that just means you have |1,0,1,1>, it just means you have 4 qubits in this configuration (quits can be 0 or 1). It’s also written |13>. If you want the state “13 AND 14 AND 15” in superposition where qubits are both 0 and 1, that’s represented by |1,0,1,1> + |1,1,0,0> + |1,1,0,1>. It’s in that superposition and can interact with itself until you choose to measure it. When you do go to measure it, you might measure any of the values (you dont get to choose which). Maybe you measure 15, that means the state is now |1,1,0,1>, you just deleted all the terms that aren’t 15.

This is a full pic of Shor’s algorithm
https://images.app.goo.gl/ZE5rDxHScm4LUqms6

If you look at the pic, main idea is the first layer of H’s creates the state sum_x=0…2^n-1 |x, 0>, then gate U turns that state into sum_x |x, f(x)>, then the measurements measure which f(x) you have, deleting all the terms that don’t have that f(x) in them, so for example if you measure that f(x) is 13, the state is now |0, 13> + |15, 13> + |30, 13> + |45, 13> + …
This is the periodic state. Now that we have it we can just apply a gate that takes the QFT (finds the frequency, which here turns the state into roughly |15, 13>), and then measures it, giving the answer period=15.
Ask HN: Should I have a free tier while starting out?
Hey HN ,

I currently have 0 users

I am building an AI SaaS, Cheatsheet (https://cheatsheet.to)

Currently, I have planned to onboard only paid users at a small price of $2/month/user

And avoid free users from the fear of them diverting my feedback loop in the wrong direction

But yesterday, a user said that he wanted the product a lot, but is broke and can't pay

As I have 0 users, and no one for any feedback, should I onboard him? Or avoid?

It's a serious and interesting question as to why evolution tolerated/encouraged homosexuality in a small but significant proportion of the population. If you have the time, this article gives a good overview of the discussion [1].

Depending on your answer to that question - along with your views about how evolution affects modern humans another - it's natural to think about homosexuality will occur in future humans.

Could we have more, less or about the same of it? Will everybody be bisexual? How might medical fertility treatments affect the outcomes? It's an open field of ideas.

I see in the Security page [0] that you filter out headers that you think are PII or tokens. And I see that you're willing to receive feedback via email. I don't think this approach is scalable, for the main reason that sometimes we use custom headers to pass tokens.

My suggestion is to have a setting that lists default headers you think should be obfuscated, and the user/team can remove and add to them as they like.

"Secure" is ambiguous, so of course they wouldn't claim X, whatever that is, is "secure". For instance, a microkernel does not provide cryptographic confidentiality, but some readers include such properties under the umbrella of "secure", so using that term would be dumb. When talking about proofs you describe the specific properties proven in a way that leaves no ambiguity.

Racially discriminating against individual people to achieve a desired racial composition of your workforce isn't "undoing discrimination", it's racism and discrimination itself. It's determining somebodies worth as an employee based on the colour of their skin. IBM is simply a racist employer.

This is also de jure racism in the United States, although not most countries, because diversity quotas are specifically banned by long standing precedent. Tell me with a straight face that tying bonuses to a specific percentage of people in your department being a certain race/gender is not a quota. HR departments generally know in order to illegally satisfy quotas you are supposed to not say you're running a quota on paper, you're supposed to obscufate what you're doing things like hiring 3rd party recruiters who will do the discrimination for you, you're supposed to recruit out of certain communities in a racially bias way, and establish plausible deniability for your racism. What they did is very clearly illegal racial discrimination, and it was even before the Trump Supreme Court, and they apparently didn't run this past legal.

Now a workplace not having an equal distribution of people of different races is a red flag for racism happening, but it isn't itself racism. There's more Asians than other students at schools. Is that racism? Nope, they just tend to get higher standardised test scores, they aren't actually being favored on the basis of race. Just because a racial composition of an institution alarms people, does not in fact justify racism, and it definitely doesn't mean that racism is anti-discriminatory.

From a funding perspective things are very different than when CF started.

Given that one the largest problems with current LLMs is they will often "hallucinate" (i.e. lie or provide deceptive answers), it seems strange to phrase it this way.

As stated in the GitHub thread [1]:

You fundamentally misunderstand our program when you use the word plugin. These are
built in features, not plugins. The features can be enabled as desired by the user and
they come disabled by default. This change to not compile and ship these features in the
base keepassxc package does nothing besides create angry (or confused) users.

Hard no. There is such a thing as the right to forget. At least in Europe. Stackoverflow likes to take that right away as it earns them more money, but that is never a good reason.
Either that or it should indicate to the end user that it's an unsupported package. Maybe showing up as KeePassXC-Debian or KeePassXC-Unsupported and have the developer's contact details (website etc) removed from About and replaced with the Debian details for support.

A downstream maintainer making small changes to fit within the OS that doesn't meaningfully affect the app is fine. A downstream maintainer modifying an app and removing core functionality so the upstream dev gets a ton of grief is not.

Is this true? I don't disagree with the idea, but do you really have the _right_ to delete some previous thing you've said no matter where it is? Seems untenable.
It's a perfectly cromulent word. Let's use it more widely, and it will become a real word, like "quiz" or "blog" have become.
I expect (but I'm not sure) it's because Rust iterators are a deliberately thinner, less powerful idea. Suppose I give you a Rust iterator A and a C++ range B.

You can ask A for the next() item and get back an Option<Item>, this literally iterates as an inherent part of getting your answer, there's no current() or previous() and there's no separate finished() if you ran out of items you got None instead of Some(item). A can be asked for a hint about how much is left, but it's allowed to say it has no useful idea: between zero and more than you can count, inclusive.

B is expected to provide a richer, albeit unsafe, API.

I believe somehow this means it's only reasonable for B to cache answers, as it can be asked to give the same answer again and it'd be inefficient to re-calculate it, whereas there is no way to ask A to repeat an answer so it makes no sense for it to cache (obviously there are special purpose Rust iterators which can have any feature, but the Iterator trait itself doesn't need to cache).
Well that's not my point.

Right now the denominator is about 10 trillion.

A single 1/10 factor makes it 1 trillion. 10-ish more factors and we're down to a small number of planets before we even consider the emergence of life and likelihood of propagation.

There are likely many more 1/10 factors: Habitable zone, diurnal cycles, billions of years of geological peace, sufficient water, a stable moon (maybe only one), a particular spectra of the star ...

all those were "well they seem to happen to 1/10 or 1/100 planets" individually. They cut down the space quickly when combined.
It is still concerning to many that they are at all capable of deception. The ramifications are significant. Even it it occurred in controlled circumstances.

The problem is that this will break all existing users who use those features when they update. One of the comments in the GitHub thread has a better path, IMHO: ship two new packages, a -minimal and a -full, and the user to choose, rather than silently break functionality (NEWS is fine, but not really read by user as everyone admits).

Its a practical reality of the internet. It would be simply naive to believe that all content on Stack Overflow, Hacker News, and wherever else any of us post has not been scraped and archived by dozens of parties who I never explicitly authorized to archive my words.

Yep, not argument here at all, RenTech is a super fascinating outlier in finance.

It's kind of inspiring.

Thus far all I've been able to do is lose all my pretend money by trying to play options, but it's still fun to try.

Will I be successful and make billions? Almost certainly not, but it's an excuse to play with different types of math that I don't play with very often, but RenTech proved that you can beat the market by taking advantage mathematics.
> Isn't it expected that Stackoverflow questions and answers can be used by anybody including to train models?

I don't think so. Content contributed to SO gets licensed under CC-BY-SA, no? How do these AI models respect the "BY" portion of that license? How do we enforce the "SA" portion of the license on people who use the output of the model?

The answer is they don't, but the big companies decided violating copyright is OK so long as they do it all at once, because there's a lot of money to be made if you ignore copyright.

Personally I'd be OK with a compromise where any entity that creates or uses an AI trained on copyrighted data forfeits copyright on all of their own works (not just those created by AI, all of their works).
Copyright covers the words not the ideas/concepts/facts. If I read a StackExchange post, I can absolutely use those ideas/concepts/facts to write a new document, which I can choose to copyright and sell, and there's no need for me to cite the SE post.

Now, as a matter of academic courtesy it's nice to cite the SE post if it's feasible, but it's impossible for me to remember where I learned everything I've learned over the years. Likewise, an LLM shouldn't be forced to cite where it learned facts, which might be technically hard/impossible, but if there is a clear best source then as a matter of politeness it should. And LLMs mostly do this when they can!
> They stopped being exclusively yours to take back once you contributed them to a broader conversation.

Says who, exactly? Stack Overflow, previously, did not say this. Reddit threads get deleted all the time. Facebook posts slide into the ephemeral "past" and are never seen again. Old forums die entirely, with nothing but (hopefully) a copy on the wayback machine.

And that's just regular old rot, in this case, Stack Overflow is explicitly changing the rules on what they can do with writing provided by volunteers under a previous understood agreement, to a new agreement, with no opportunity for negotiation and no engagement with their community. Simply an edict, issued from On High: "We can now sell your contributions to AI companies." And I'm sure for plenty of people they don't give a shit, but clearly some do, and so we get what HN is constantly clamoring for, individuals making decisions about their own creations and their own speech, but now it's suddenly bad because it's the Wrong decision.
