> They delight in breaking rules, but not rules that matter.

The question becomes "what rules matter?". And the answer inevitably becomes "only the ones that work in my favor and/or that I agree with".

I think someone trying to defend this would go "oh come on, does it really matter if a rich actress gets slightly richer?" And no, honestly, it doesn't matter that much. Not to me, anyway. But it matters that it establishes (or rather, confirms and reinforces) a culture of disregard and makes it about what you think matters, and not about what someone else might think matters about the things in their life. Their life belongs to them, a fact that utopians have forgotten again and again everywhere and everywhen. And once all judgement is up to you, if you're a sufficiently ambitious and motivated reasoner (and the kind of person we're talking about here is), you can justify pretty much whatever you want without that pesky real-world check of a person going "um actually no I don't want you to do that".

Sometimes I think anti-tech takes get this wrong. They see the problem as breaking the rules at all, as disrupting the status quo at all, as taking any action that might reasonably be foreseen to cause harm. But you do really have to do that if you want to make something good sometimes. You can't foresee every consequence of your actions - I doubt, for example, that Airbnb's founders were thinking about issues with housing policy when they started their company. But what differentiates behavior like this from risk-taking is that the harm here is deliberate and considered. Mistakes happen, but this was not a mistake. It was a choice to say "this is mine now".

That isn't a high bar to clear. And I think we can demand that tech leaders clear it without stifling the innovation that is tech at its best.
Sounds like someone has not been consistently candid with their communication.
Indeed, and as the article points out, there are recent cases where the lack of such a law has demonstrably been an issue (the case of Kim Briggs, hit and killed while crossing at a pedestrian crossing by Charlie Alliston is mentioned but I believe there are are others where prosecution was thought to be too difficult due to the lack of specific laws).
So a kind of lack of empathy?
Do these guys have this image of "autists" and are basically filtering for them, cause this criteria seems to be favoring oppositional defiance disorder.

I mention this specifically because I remember mark andreseen comment something similar in lex fridman's podcast, something along the lines of getting "those creative people" together to build on ai.
I think this is such a massively trivial detail it’s hard to draw broader conclusions from it
You are thinking from gaming PC centric perspective. The article says "their tool works by statically recompiling N64 binaries into C code that can then be compiled into native apps for any platform".

N64 emulators have poor performance on things like raspberry pi or anbernic handhelds which have ARM64 chips in them. This would allow you to natively compile an N64 game to ARM64 to get better performance on less powerful but more portable devices.
If innocent prompt would generate that, then it's responsibility of the LLM model authors.

I'm not sure why you'd want to generate a Makefile if you're using nix. Unlike make, nix understands the inputs to a build step and won't bother rerunning it unless their inputs have changed. You would lose that you generated a Makefile instead of having nix build whatever it is that the Makefile builds.

Otherwise it does the same things as make: this bunch of commands depends on this other bunch of commands... It just makes you express that as a function so it can be smarter about memoization.

I've not used it for large complex builds, so maybe there's some itch it fails to scratch at finer granularity which I'm overlooking. I liked this artical about where it shines and where it fails to be a build system: https://www.tweag.io/blog/2018-03-15-bazel-nix/. I've been waiting for the problem to arise that encourages me to learn Bazel so I can use it alongside nix, and it just hasn't yet.
It is not the case that the ultra-right fringe parties like Jewish Power had governing power for decades. It's a parliamentary system, weirdos get elected to the Knesset, but the governing authorities --- at least prior to Netanyahu, and even during Sharon's time! --- were normies, not neo-Kahanist terrorists. It's easy to find lots and lots of political analysis about why this has happened, much of it having to do with the probability that Netanyahu could wind up imprisoned (for things having nothing to do with Gaza) once he fails to assemble a governing coalition.

How is the Milk-V Duo S able to hit these extremely low price points? Are they selling at a loss or making some sort of market play?

I've looked into integrating PoE modules into an ESP32-C3, and the bill of materials adds up quickly. That's not to mention that this is a 3-core SoC with vastly higher clock speeds and available memory.

I have some projects that would really benefit from these specs at this price point, but is there some sort of catch?
Great to see this kind of innovation. PostgreSQL is interesting while "core" was always Open Source and using very permissive Open Source library, there have been many proprietary and source available extensions, ranging from replication to time series support.

Now we see those Proprietary extensions being disrupted by proper Open Source!

Great article. For me it's creative use of tools by others - sometimes myself - in a non-standard way (sometimes that becomes standard!) that brings enlightenment. Be it language, source control, networking, you name it.

> If Israel's explanations were accepted then there wouldn't be a court case

The explanations to be accepted by the court would have to be presented as evidence at trial, which would require their to be a court case.

Yes, if their explanations were accepted as conclusive by the prosecutor there wouldn't be a court case, but the prosecutor isn't the final decisionmaker for the court.

> The UN just made a huge change to their accounting blaming "the fog of war" which puts their numbers much more in line with what Israel was saying.

While the details of the charges asked for, beyond their titles, have not been laid out, I don't think the numerical counts that have been adjusted have much bearing on any of them.
Exactly. Using the old “wanton and furious driving” charge makes it difficult to distinguish between equestrian and cycling incidents.
> War crimes are a fact of just about every military conflict, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't convict those that commit them.

This encourages total war. After all, if every war is subject to the scrutiny of ever changing standards, what's the point in even paying them any attention? Might as well just win and so terrorize everyone that everyone's too scared to do anything.

At the end of the day, this is obviously a ridiculous standard. Civilian deaths in war are to be expected, which is why we should generally only fight wars that are truly justified. I can't think of a more justified war than Israel and Gaza, especially given Israel's constant warning of civilians to leave areas they're going to attack. I think it's really telling that despite being so obviously justified, Israel has faced more scrutiny than almost any other country. Ukraine is currently locked into a similar war and has also killed Russian civilians.

> If you allow yourself to execute carpet bombings on civilians "for the good cause", don't be surprised when the enemy does the same.

I'm not surprised. That's why I think if we're going to bomb, it better be decisive and we better have damn good defenses. That's why I generally oppose war, but obviously Israel had no choice here really. Hamas is committed to their destruction and has shown able to breach defenses. They're still not gone.
Not to mention that it matches up pretty much exactly with the Bette Midler and Tom Waits cases, where courts ruled against companies using soundalikes after the person they really wanted turned them down. Doesn't matter if they hired a soundalike actress rather than clone her voice, it still violates her rights.
> The government said it had agreed to introduce new laws so those who kill or seriously injure people because of dangerous or careless cycling face the same penalties as drivers and motorcyclists.

As far as I know, hitting someone with a car is currently the least penalized way of killing someone, as long as alcohol or specific intent can't be proven.

So that sounds to me like more lenient and less agressive pursuing of severe penalties, which doesn't match the tone of the article...which direction would that go ?

> Germans didn't become motivated terrorists after WW-II despite great devastation and killing of civilians by the Allies. Neither did Japan. I'm sure there are similar WW-I examples.

Heh this is funny because this was an explicit concern for the US after WWII. This is the reason behind the creation of the Marshal Plan and directly the reason why the US occupied both Germany and Japan and assisted in nation building there. The idea that losing a war leads to radicalism is as old as WWII, but probably even older, as the UK came to a similar conclusion when divesting its colonies in South Asia.

For more recent cases on how political instability and sectarian conflict leads to a rise in terrorism, look at what happened in Iraq after the toppling of Saddam Hussein and the dissolution of the Baathist party.

LLMs have massively increased the number of creative projects that I start. It makes the jumping off point for a vague idea much easier to stomach.

Coming from a non-technical arts field, but always being interested in the technical side of things, LLMs have led to me realizing functional versions of software projects that I've never had the time to learn myself, allowing me to act more like a project manager than a software developer, but exposing me to so much code that I've also become more comfortable making my own functions and edits to the code. I also use LLMs frequently to build shortcuts or write me commands to make common processes quicker in my workflow.

From a creative POV, I frequently use LLMs along with models like whisper to transcribe and make sense of long ramblings, turning a 20 minute voice memo from a car ride into a functional plan and organized beginnings of a project such as a screenplay, essay, movie, etc.

Whenever I get off a documentary shoot, I also run all my footage through whisper to get the timecode transcripts, as well as highlights from those transcripts that are deemed as notable by the LLM. This gives me a good jumping off point to start crafting the narrative.

Right now I see LLMs as a really good tool to help kick off and trudge through projects that might be daunting to take on solo otherwise, but they are massively underpowered at actually "finishing" anything. As a result, I have a ton of projects in-progress that I wouldn't have started otherwise, but probably the same % ratio of finished to unfinished projects. In that sense, LLMs have increased the population of my ideas-graveyard, but put me in a better position to pick the ideas back up if I renew my interest in any of them.
This statement from scarlet really changed my perspective. I use and loved the Sky voice and I did feel it sounded a little like her, but moreover it was the best of their voice offerings. I was mad when they removed it. But now I’m mad it was ever there to begin with. This timeline makes it clear that this wasn’t a coincidence and maybe not even a hiring of an impressionist (which is where things get a little more wishy washy for me).

Brodie Robertson just posted a YouTube video summarizing this including Linus’s response. It’s definitely a doozy. I’d be interested to hear the BSD folks perspective on this.
(Also not a lawyer)

The point of (d) is to create a jurisdictional hook for the US federal government. The federal government only has power over a limited number of offenses, including "interstate commerce" related offenses, but not most normal criminal offenses, which can only be criminalized by the states. So, for the federal government to regulate it, the easiest way is to only regulate things that involve interstate commerce somehow. In this case, downloading the Stable Diffusion model over the Internet probably creates enough of a hook, and this defendant is alleged to have done much more than that, so it's probably enough.
I’ll agree file management and windows management is wonky, but both were afterthoughts to the platform and not what it was designed to be. Those things were basically supposed to be behind the scenes and not front and center to the user. Not sure what apps might be missing, because I can’t think of one I would want but can’t get on my iPad. As a personal device, like a phone or say a personal journal, I am not sure that a lack of multiuser is really a negative. Frankly, I don’t want to share my iPad.

Too many people especially here on HN seem to think it’s the same kind of device as a desktop or PC but it’s really not. It was designed from the get go to be a content consumer/PDA, but I think people see the power to portability ratio and desire their PCs to have that.

I am a fan because for what the iPad does…it does it better than any other tablet out there.
Met Nathan when he was cofounder of a student entrepreneur group at Michigan State. He also never mentions designing the first version of Product Hunt for his friend Ryan Hoover as a weekend project so I can't resist calling attention to it here.

Nathan's current startup is Lex.page where I believe he is reinventing an AI powered version of the word processor.
Palestinians in Gaza were not provoked and there were no settlers in the Gaza strip. Not sure about your last statement there, Hamas being propped up by Netanyahu was how Israel provoked them to attack?

What was the total number of Palestinians killed by Settler terrorist attacks in 2022? Do you have that handy? What was the number of Israelis killed by Palestinian terrorist attacks during that time?
It's ad hominem while him being egotistical at the same time - him claiming it's low effort-value, etc.

He also didn't counter any arguments of mine specifically.

What exactly was rude with it? I'm shocked to see these quick comments by you. Cite specifically what was rude that I said.

His ad hominem was certainly "rude" - but I'm curious what you think I said was rude, or if in fact you're coddling him who willingly engaged - and claimed what I said was lazy-so easy that he could do it in his sleep; he's claiming he can crank out what I said as if it's nothing, so what does or could that insinuate in your eyes?

I look forward to seeing what language you consider rude.
There’s a huge realm of options between elite colleges and local community schools.

If you want a hundred security professionals, an undergraduate from a mid tier state school and a master’s in computer security from GMU etc is a vastly better option.

That said, if you want the absolute best early filters fail. Linus Torvalds went to the University of Helsinki. John Carmack went to University of Missouri–Kansas City for two semesters before dropping out. Donald Knuth may teach at Standford, but he got his undergrad and masters from Case Western Reserve University before getting a PHD. Founders are more likely to come from elite schools because it eases fundraising, but talent is distributed widely.
I’m not talking about hiring anyone and seeing how it works out. I’m talking about hiring people based on experience and stated ability the way every other industry does.

The people I’m talking about firing are the people who represent the stories that people talk about when they insist that tech interviews can’t work the way interviews in other industries work.

Where I live, in the last 12 months or so, there is a marked increase in totally insane cycling. Ploughing through red lights on busy junctions, going on roads down the wrong way or zooming on the pavement. Often on e bikes that are clearly not road legal (too fast, or go without pedalling). I'm not talking about confused old ladies.

It's dangerous and annoying as hell. I'm a keen cyclist but for goodness sakes, within the rules of the highway code!

I've used gpt4 pretty extensively while learning Japanese to have a written conversation partner, ask clarification around grammar, or to translate native content for me and explain it. I've validated a lot of the answers it comes up with, and although it hallucinates occasionally, it doesn't do so on the same points consistently. I'm going to encounter a lot of my vocabulary and grammar hundreds or thousands of times, so even if it's incorrect 1% of the time, it's not a huge problem.

As with most LLM use cases, it's best when used to augment an existing workflow that reinforces it. In my case, I already have an whole setup where I'm using anki flash cards for vocabulary and grammar study, some curated human-written resources for learning grammar, and native language content for reading and listening immersion. GPT is really helpful to be able to quickly get a sentence level translation and each word translated, and full descriptions of the grammar points at work in the sentence. It saves me a lot of time over working with a dictionary and juggling grammar resources, vocab, etc. I can ask it follow-up questions, and even switch straight into trying to use the grammar/vocab in an example sentence of my own right on the spot. I seriously think I'd be way worse off if I didn't have access to an LLM throughout the process.
It's the desperate panic-driven attempt by a dying government to not spectacularly lose the next election. Throw enough macaroni at a wall and some of it will stick, and blabber on about enough non-consecutive issues and maybe you'll win some voters.

Other than that it's basically a non-issue.
Trump won against hillary spending roughly half as much as she spent and spent proportionally even less to win the primaries. He's not a candidate that wins based on money, which is in contrast to almost every other election in modern US history. Maybe he is getting money in shady ways, but his funds compared to his results wouldn't suggest that is the case.

You're not wrong, but the world is imperfect and they're forced into this weird role of being both a political institution and an "international court" which, as constructs go, doesn't make a lot of sense.

Short of going full "one world government" or the next best thing, "team america world police" you can't really violate state sovereignty even if someone is doing atrocities so instead you need to convince key players or a critical mass that something should be done. If successful, you can then tighten the screws on that person as fast as you can get all the relevant bureaucracies moving.
