Victims of GDPR violations can't get any compensation in Europe.

If the US pass a GDPR-like legislation, try to get monetary damages and make it a business for lawyers, because in Europe the money goes into the public coffers.
This isn't how the legal system works. It's very fuzzy.
That's a lot of assumptions about users that are ignorant about OpenAI or anything AI related in general.

I used iTerm2 for the last decade or so without any complaints, but seriously, sneaking in features like this into a minor version and without upfront communication is poor form (as would be something less sinister like a Google search engine or StackOverflow integration, stuff like this is entirely unexpected in a terminal application). It's fine though, I will simply go terminal shopping again.
It's part and parcel of the LLM field's usual disdain for any property rights that might belong to other people. What they did here is not categorically different than scraping every author and visual artist on the internet - but in this instance they've gone and brazenly "copied" (read: stolen) from one of the few folks with more media clout than they themselves have.
Make no mistake: I think lame wannabes steal, competently or not, regardless how successful they become.

And yeah, the techbro culture Sam steeped in results in remarkable stupidity!
> British universities got absolutely decimated by Brexit

It's likely heading for another cliff dive, as the UK government is constricting the supply of student visas (because immigration), and application numbers are nosediving.

I got a great education in the UK and think back on it very fondly, but these days I'd advise people to apply to the US instead. It might even be cheaper.
Totally.

There are clear explanations in the release notes and the wiki entry linked from the relevant place in the preference pane [1]. The full release note is displayed before updating. There are numerous comments here explaining how it's impossible to accidentally enable the feature. It's opt-in, you have to input a paid API key, you can use a offline model instead, and the data it sends are totally customizable and by default limited to the output of "uname" and the prompt that you explicitly enter.

Yet people are ignoring all of that and writing all sorts of misinformation.

iTerm2 is featureful yet solid, constantly improved on, doesn't work against the user, and is free. I've submitted patches before and the author was nice and responsive. The AI feature is minimal, non-intrusive, and doesn't advertise its existence once you decided not to opt in unlike commercial products hyped up about AI. It's thankless work even without HN piling on and the author deserves much better.

A conviction would also require signatory states to arrest the convicted persons - or give up the support for the ICC. Almost all of the EU is member of the ICC. A conviction, or even just an arrest warrant would lead to massive political complications for the EU-Israel relations.
Me too! It's alright, but as I said I really would like it to be IDE-style, with multiple suggestions in a box that I can see all at once and flip through.

There is this: https://github.com/microsoft/inshellisense?tab=readme-ov-fil...

But it doesn't look really "seamless" to me yet, though admittedly I did not give it a proper try.
I truly wonder if this is an “any publicity is good publicity” tactic on their part. It’s now national news that OpenAI supports conversational voice. Buying this level of publicity would likely have cost more than the lawyers and damages.
Maybe they could focus on the OS basics first instead of packing features no one will use. Windows still can't position windows well and loses useful features by the day.
Indeed. I was looking for a sample this morning and it’s just nonsense. Sounds like a polite American voice actor female. Johansson has many mannerisms and a different accent. Sounds nothing like her.
Yeah, this state of discussion saddens me. There's so many other features I've yet to digest in the release notes. This release has been a long time in coming. Yet, as a daily iTerm user, I haven't thought I have really missed anything. It works and it works well. But, I'm certain there's few things here I'll be using soon. I have been donating a long time, and shall continue to so.
It's already a massive pile of crap and has been for a long time.
AI will be a nail in the coffin.
haha Hugo seems to be cool-kid approved, thinking of going with something around that - github pages etc.
A CMS or third party hosting is definitely more work and also technically reduces the chances of discovery - at least that's what I feel initially
30% lower package power than a year and a half old processor. Very impressive.
> But it also gives you the assurance that a single entity can't print unlimited money out of thin air, which is the case with a centrally controlled currency like Worldcoin.

Sure, but the inability to do that when needed is also a bad thing.

Also, single world currencies are (currently) a bad thing, because when your bit of the world needs to devalue its currency is generally different to when mine needs to do that.

But this is why economics is its own specialty and not something that software nerds should jump into like our example with numbers counts for much :D
Probably not the nicest comment but that interviewer seems outright insufferable and heavily biased due to some reason. Basically questioning everything Devereux is saying without being able to form almost any coherent argument.

IMHO that's really not how you should approach an interview with a highly educated/knowledgably professional as a lay person. Also focusing way too much on semantics and getting stuck in relatively minor details while mostly ignoring the bigger picture. Must have been pretty annoying for the interviewee to sit through...
Sama should've asked ChatGPT 4o what it thinks about this idiotic move before proceeding; https://chatgpt.com/share/5cfa921c-fde9-4e4b-ac97-4f256d2413...
You’re ignoring 2 major things

* Israel is the one operating the jetty. If you look at photos the trucks bringing the aid from the sea to land have yellow Israeli civilian plates. These are civilian Israeli contractors being paid by the Israeli government to disperse the aid because the Americans refused to have boots on the ground

* it only takes 3 people (prosecutor + 2 judges) to completely crumble the western block. You could suspect war crimes for any post 9/11 war campaign and arrest every past and present leader of the Us, France, UK, Australia since 2001 because 3 people said so. That’s way too much power for a small group
I look forward to seeing how this will be received by the malware community.

Who's "we"? I don't know about you, but:

- I did learn a bit of agriculture and I could probably teach that to the future generation.

- I never learned how to build a nuclear reactor or microprocessor. Did you? Could you teach that?

> The state owned enterprises are run very similarly

Yea, but they are not as singular in control of the economy as they were before Doi Moi.

Just having state owned companies does not make a country communist.

Utilties are state owned (EVN) but the capacity infra is private owned in part or majority.

Also, foreign private sector players like Mitsubishi, Chubu Electric, and POSCO Electric are significant players in the VNese sector by building capacity and significant or majority ownership stakes in power projects, especially because Vietnam has much more stringent FTAs with SK and Japan compared to China.

If Vietnam attempts Chinese style forced JVs, foreign players will return to investing in Thailand, Indonesia, Phillipines, or India.

> There is clearly capacity for one company to lower demand by more and another less which is what the message I was replying to

This by definition is a lack of capacity, because enough capacity was not built, and that was because a lot of us foreigners became much more cautious of financing projects in Vietnam by 2021-23.

> The state owned enterprises haven't changed that much since Doi Moi

I strongly disagree. Significant stakes in the SoEs are now owned by foreign (mostly Japanese, Korean, and HK) companies after the FTAs in the mid-2010s, and at least on the banking and finance side it has professionalized - not to the level in Indonesia or Phillipines, let alone China, but it's getting there.
Whereas I do use dotnet daily, have done so for years, and I like the C# language and a lot of the ecosystem, certainly over Java .. and I still hate the naming scheme. I know the difference between all the confusingly named things, it's just that Microsoft branding insists on flattening them all together.

The internal codenames were better. If I say "Roslyn" it's a lot clearer what I'm referring to.
> if renewables are so great, why are there no solar panels anywhere, in a country that is all sun?

Western prices for kWh are sever times higher than in Vietnam. What might be a great deal in USA or Germany, might not be so great in other countries.
It's better to ask why this way and not the other first. I can imagine they choose that locations on purpose. So, to know why may make it understandable. In my opinion.
You should also shame the developers who implement what said UX experts design, the managers who force the developers to implement said designs, the product owners who ask the UX designers to come up with ideas that end up with those designs, the finance gremlins who create these incentives for the owners of these ideas, etc and at the end of this recursive floodfill blame algorithm you'll probably end up covering most of the giant evil megacorp in question.

Honestly i don't think you can put blame on any single individual - including the CEO - and have things change, this isn't a single player (or even single corporation, considering Microsoft isn't the only one doing these shady things) game.
Ah, so OpenAI does satire. That explains a lot.

Comcast Uses LLMs to Assist Agents in Real Time
I don't want to defend Altman. He may or may not be a good actor. But as an engineer, I love the idea of building something magical, yet lately that's not straightforward tinkering - unless you force your way - because people raise all sorts of concerns that they wouldn't have 30 years ago. Google (search) was built on similar data harvesting and we all loved it in the early days, because it was immensely useful. So is ChatGPT, but people are far more vocal nowadays about how what it's doing is wrong from various angles. And all their concerns are valid. But if openai had started out by seeking permission to train on any and every piece of content out there (like this comment, for example) they wouldn't have been able to create something as good (and bad) as ChatGPT. In the early search days, this was settled (for a while) via robots.txt, which for all intents and purposes openai should be adhering to anyway.

But it's more nuanced for LLMs, because LLMs create derivative content, and we're going to have to decide how we think about and regulate what is essentially a new domain and method and angle on existing legislation. Until that happens, there will be friction, and given we live in these particular times, people will be outraged.

That said, using SJ's voice given she explicitly refused is unacceptable. It gets interesting if there really is a voice actor that sounds just like her, but now that openai ceased using that voice, the chances of seeing that play out in court are slimmer.
> The problem is this never happens.

It happens regularly to the point that it becomes the happy path.

The trick is that you should pin all dependencies and not just let auto-updates happen, and instead treat even patch updates as if they could be major-version bumps.

> It's hard to quantify, maybe, but it just feels like constant stress.

I agree, but the key factor is auto-updates cause pain. Once you disable those you no longer experience any pain. For instance, no one needs to constantly upgrade dev dependencies, and even patch upgrades to TypeScript are hard to justify without full regression tests.
I haven't seen any of that pressing the update button on the updater dialog box that automatically pops up (as I usually do, since typically iTerm2 updates don't have such sneaky surprises). Only after the update there was a little slideshow where the AI stuff was hidden somewhere on the 3rd or 4th slide.
I would second the recommendation of Flutter which I have used - and liked - in the past.

You can't go wrong with it!:)
(La)TeX is an example of a very enlightened _idea_ that offed itself \footnotemark{} with a spectacularly cursed user interface. It is simply gross to write, and it's difficult for frontends, converters and GUIs to make it much better.

Yes yes, I can already hear the cultists chant "YoU dOn'T wRiTe In LaTeX" but this mentality is precisely the problem. If I can't write directly in your typesetting system nowadays, then I'm sorry, your system probably sucks.

You could unfortunately write an article or thesis quite comfortably in Word or even InDesign, while formatting as you go. (I say "unfortunately" because from a business-model and hacker's perspective, these tools suck.)

Same here. Once worked with a guy who was a huge Microsoft fan, calling Macs and Linux-based workstations “nothing but toys”. Naturally I couldn’t help but laugh when he couldn’t work for 20 minutes due to a forced windows update and then a blue screen after booting up again.

The Candy crush and other crappy apps/games in combination to being a full fledged spyware OS with adware on top is already enough to make me run away screaming.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2022-12-13 / SCUMWAYS TOP SECRET VOLCANO LAIR

Art World Rocked by Amazing New EvilPixie Release

New version features vibrant, brand new pixels.

Scumways Corp. today announced a new release of it's legendary pixel-editing application EvilPixie.

The new '0.3 "Your in test" TCE Shanghai Gutter' release is a revolutionary new development providing an experience unlike any other pixel art package in the history of pixel art packages[1].

With a huge established audience of dedicated fans[2], this new release promises to take the industry by storm.

Scumways Corp. spokesman Brian Credibility today said "Our studies show that this new release provides 754.1% more synergy than the next leading brand. The clients we've been working rave about increased pixel yields, and love the enterprise-wide approach to the unique value proposition when integrated into quadruple-A next-generation middle-out distributed landscape personal environment cloud-based network-enabled local client ecosystems."

Via séance, notable artists have also given their unanimous endorsement:

"I'll definitely be using this to demonstrate Commodore's next computer." - Spirit of Andy Warhol
"Questa fantastica app sono i fottuti testicoli del cane!" - Spirit of Leonardo Da Vinci
"Se ve un poco raro" - Spirit of Salvador Dali

EvilPixie is hand crafted from organic, fair trade, ethically-sourced local electrons. It's very Eco.
The new version can be downloaded at:

https://github.com/bcampbell/evilpixie/releases

[1] Except Deluxe Paint, which it apes shamelessly, down to the keyboard shortcuts. And all the Dpaint clones, of course. And asesprite. And ProMotion. And all the other pixelart apps. But other than that, there's _nothing_ like it out there!

> Nobody has committed high crimes in this saga. But the lying has become endemic

This is why honesty is valued. If you look and sound squeaky clean, it's likely that you are honest and trustworthy. If you blatantly steal a famous actress' voice then lie about it, what else will you steal?
Will it really fully run on that NPU or will it offload some tasks to the cloud?
Just having significant SoEs doesn't make a country "Communist". By those standards so are Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and India.

I've done a lot of work within VN and my SO is herself VNese, so I've had the opportunity to travel and meet with operators there.

Most of the capacity that is built is done so by private players. While there are still a couple oversized SoEs, they cannot compete with the much larger Japanese, South Korean, Singaporean, and Chinese players because Vietnam has FTAs with all those countries.
Genuine question from iTerm users: which of its many, many features do you use most and find most valuable? I have always had it installed, but Terminal.app from macOS seems to have been enough for me. Maybe because I’m always using tmux anyway and that covers some of iTerm’s advantages. But I’m still curious about iTerm.
Re-read. Comprehend. Stop fighting made up battles in your head.
Certainly, though I wonder if part of the mindset I encountered was a result of any surplus wealth being taken by the landowners for a good 800 years or so. If you don't get to enjoy the fruits of your labour, why try?
yeah nah thanks.

I've already swapped to Fedora, a few more other projects and I'll start on the kids and wife's machines.

There's a lot of things I love about living where I do, but if I could get Dutch urban design in California I'd look very closely at moving back. I also worry about the strength of US democracy, but Europe isn't immune to backsliding here either.
This still is not quite grappling with the fundamental issue imo

Realpolitik, in the sense Morgenthau and Kissinger understood it, absolutely takes into account management of public opinion and risks related to violation of international standards. It just does not only take those into account in decisions related to national interests.

> But the claim that "Biden actually saved lots of Palestinians from dying" because of the "realpolitik" of the situation is silly. The claim that Kissinger actually saved lives by coordinating assassinations so that South America didn't need to be bombed into submission would be farcical, and so is this.

This is stated as a fact and dismissed on the basis of a tacit moral argument rather than reasoning. Why would the claim be silly? I see no reason for those statements to be cast aside as un-addressable or 'farcical'.

On the other hand...

> 10 carrier strike group gets fucked up by Yemeni drones, or Iranian swarms

If this were possible Houthi drones would have done it already (against a single carrier).

> because they [China] invested in growth instead of carrier groups

China has been investing heavily in their military for three decades [0]. And we will see about that growth part... it is not looking so rosy for Xi currently.

Numbers like these really don't bode well for the longer term prospects of open source models, I doubt the current strategy of waiting expectantly for a corporation to spoonfeed us yet another $100,000 model for free is going to work forever.

That $100k is conservative too, it doesn't include the cost of buying/renting the hardware, or the compute time spent on experimental training runs, or the cost of data acquisition, labeling and cleaning, or the cost of RLHF fine-tuning.
As an engineer, the current state of LLMs is just uninteresting. They basically made a magical box that may or may not do what you want if you manage to convince it to, and fair chance it'll spout out bullshit. This is like the opposite of engineering.
This is a bad stereotype, I think. The US has regulatory failures like FTX, but at least that's a brand new market and type of commodity (or currency, maybe). And it was prosecuted under existing regulation anyway. The EU had Wirecard, a financially totally mundane company, and regulations didn't stop anything. It happens everywhere.

The difference is that the US is a force multiplier for businesses and innovation, so you get the most extreme stuff there. But you also get the most everything there. And even when it's not there, it's often funded or part-funded by the US. E.g. the NIH funds $45b of research a year, which is partly sent overseas, even though it's paid for by US taxpayers and businesses.
This happens a lot in movies though.
If the lead famous actor turns down a part,
esp in a sequel the film maker will spend time deliberately

Gaza was under Israeli control until 2005. The Agreement on Movement and Access was made between Israel and the Palestinian Authority as part of Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. That agreement collapsed in 2006 when Hamas took power. The PA had fled Gaza and were no longer able to uphold their side of the agreement; Hamas did not recognise the agreement and were unwilling to negotiate with the PA, Egypt or Israel on border security arrangements.
> After I've consented... right.... right guys!?

My two cents: no, the refusing option will be deep in the UI and surely you will need to use a combination of CTRL, ALTs, etc to make it visible before you check it out.
