Not reading the article rarely stops people here from talking about it, so I guess this shouldn't change much. Personally, I like to pretend that everyone who has commented on something that is behind a paywall is actually an active subscriber who has already read the article in depth. The alternative is to accept that everybody in all these threads is just giving hot takes about things they have spent literally zero time studying.
Thanks! I've added it, it should be picked up correctly next time.
the license issue was that qt want gpl enough because of the dual license, right?

That’s where the black hat SEO comes in. Google lost the war well before tinkering with generative AI in the results; they just make it even worse.

The collapse of search has happened faster than non-technical folks realize. They still trust the computer quite a bit.
>Day to day what does "monetizing my data and removing my privacy" actually mean to you? Are advertisers following you around town? Bothering you at work? Hounding you in the loo?

They are doing all of those things if you have your phone with you! Unless you manually go about disabling notifications, turning off gps access for all apps, etc.
Thank you, I've added it. It should show once I find new jobs with it.
How should they split the money then? By time seems the fairest way. How else should they judge the quality? That music video you mentioned is likely to get more views so more money overall. But if the gamer stream is getting more views and watch time why shouldn't it get more money?
I can't imagine Apple would make a deal that would allow a Third Party company to use Apple users' data for training. I would bet they'll either put it on-device, arrange the terms so that OpenAI cannot train on user data, or a mixture of both.
AFAIK all uses of Pegasus were conducted after an agreement (a warrant) was issued from Polish courts - which were in opposition to the PiS government. If I'm right about this, doesn't it mean this particular affair unnecessarily demonizes PiS?

Either way, I think it's very reasonable to *do* assume the worst of governments - as in we should strive to design the system to be able to withstand as much malice from people in power as possible.
They’re also a monopoly, which might breed complacency, which might lead to lax spending habits.
> My form of insomnia starts with an active mind some evening.

Not a doctor, but I’m very confident that this is ADHD. Sleep disorders are very common, ADHD is linked with a late melatonin onset and evening “buzz” or overexciting are almost textbook examples.

Treatments are there, but needs to be discussed with healthcare professionals.
And “don’t change schedule” is a harmful advice. Fatigued driving is as dangerous as driving intoxicated. Some professions and activities require heightened focus as they’re dangerous to themselves and others.
At this point the company from business - not product - perspective looks like a hopeless cutthroating environment, when first they didn't let the failed exec go, then, too late, realized their mistake and started loudly complaining. If OpenAI will successfully survive, it deserves textbook mentioning in a chapter of business crises.
ah! QPL
that's it thanks.
Ask HN: Is copyright obsolete in the age of AI?
Does copyright become obsolete now that large language models (LLMs) are scraping and ingesting the content we write, and then use it to train themselves? What's the point of being a volunteer content creator for OpenAI or Google if LLMs scrape everything you put online? Why even try?
It's probably not feasible to stock every piece part for every legacy product. Imagine how many parts that is just for one keyboard.

Maybe that could be subcontracted out but I can see why it's just simpler to replace the whole thing.
Incorrect. You must not be a US citizen (or else went to a poor quality K12 school that failed to teach the basic civics)

States are NOT an administrative subdivision of the larger country. This is a common misconception. They are not at all like Japanese prefectures, not like Canadian provinces, nor like the counties or parishes that US states are subdivided into.

States are fully sovereign entities that retain to this day certain inalienable rights vis a vis the federal government.

A good analogy is that the US is more like a stronger version of the EU. States like New York and Texas within the US are more like Germany or France-- they've ceder some rights to the federation but retain many others. The US constitution, which is short and easy to read and required reading for the US Citizenship test, clearly outlines which powers are reserved for which part.

>That's not my problem. The states are part of the country.
In my experience the overhead bins are never large enough to accommodate everyone having the allowed sized carry on luggage. Which leads to bags getting gate checked fairly often.
>The problem is you're exposing yourself as someone extremely self-centered, and someone that assumes their lived experience is equivalent of everyone else's, and adjudicating the utility of this particular thing as if you are reflective of the larger population.

Most of Hacker News and indeed the tech community at large exhibit "I don't understand life outside of California cities." syndrome, this by itself is nothing new.

AFAIK modern Linux is still able to properly read from HFS and HFS+. I mounted a MacOS 9 disk image just a few days ago.
The first practical answer is without ads there wouldn't be a Google. The reason the search index is commercially viable is because it shows ads. The second is maybe you don't know what a towel is, there are a lot born every minute. The third is maybe you won't think of buying a towel - even if you need it - without prompting which I suspect is the case for most people.

I also don't understand the general hate some people have for websites that are commercially viable without charging an entrance fee. Ads are better than the next-best option.
I only started understanding the difference after getting into photography.
The Microsoft stack used in enterprise means many shops will be .net and that ties in nicely to other parts of the ms stack including db

I’ve not seen Java for a bit but it is around for large stacks because that’s what those vendors would use or for strongly typed use cases

I think python is also more prevalent for all the reasons including data science so seeing a php stack be less common.

No screens and no light brighter than single-digit candle power after sundown is a pretty good cure for, I suspect, a whole lot of modern cases of sleeplessness.

Light your whole house up brighter than the mirrored hall at Versailles and engage with devices that put entertainments better than a pre-modern emperor could command at the grandest, most expensive carnival he could assemble at your fingertips and sleep becomes elusive.

“The emperor’s having trouble sleeping! We lit up the palace with thousands of candles and invited over the greatest scientists and sages and show persons of all kinds (including the naked variety) and are holding a 24/7 carnival with all those folks just outside his bedroom and we just can’t figure out what might be the problem.” LOL, I mean, maybe there’s other stuff going on too, but I think I know where to start…
Thank you for the feedback! I've added a slight delay, let me know if that works out better for you.
To give to context into this (with friends at Azure and competitors), MS has been heavily pushing LLMs for Enterprise SaaS usecases like Code Completion, Automated SOC, Auto-Remediation, Automated Asset Labeling, etc. It's been a major factor in driving Azure sales recently due to Azure OpenAI Services and multiple other features that are a reskin around OpenAI products.

An Apple dedicated deal means MS roadmap items will become much more tenuous, as MS's product priorities and timelines will begin clashing with Apple's.

Already MS competitors like Databricks, Snowflake, Crowdstrike, SentinelOne, Google, etc are all releasing product lines that touch on these usecases and are doing so by building their own in-house models.

MS's biggest moat in the Enterprise space recently has been it's partnership w/ OpenAI, which forced all the other competitors to spend 2-3 years building in-house models and teams.
> You have to wonder if Giannandrea is what's been holding Siri back all these years.

I think it's more that Siri wasn't central to Apple (though consider homepod and watch, both of which pretty much need to be talked to).

But he's the reason Google had a corporate push on AI at all; he bought Deep Mind etc. I really don't think he's been sitting on his hands.
Still would not solve the problem of copying data without changing it.
Although it happened in 2020 It's still their current flagship 140 usd keyboard, not legacy product.

But I understand that it could make support logistic harder to offer parts that shouldn't need to be replaced.
If you're a fan of modernist literature or of literature as an at form, undoubtedly yes. If you're just interested in reading it because it is (justifiably, in my opinion) famous, then possibly.

It's a bit like reading and studying the Bible if you're not religious. Will you come out having read and studied one of the foundational texts in English literature, able to approach later texts with fresh eyes to the unending allusions it spawned? Yep. Will it be 'worth it', though, in a revelatory sense? That's up to you in the end.

It is less that fission-prevents-global-warming, but that removal of nuclear plants has a very strong positive relationship with the construction of new fossil fueled power plants. Sweden as an example did not use fossil fueled power plants, but in the aftermath of decommissioning of their most southern power plant there is now one oil fueled power plants operating almost 24/7, and a additional new gas powered plant being building built. This in times where emissions need to go down rather than up. Its also a fairly common story in other countries where nuclear power plants get decommissioned and hastily get replaced with newly constructed fossil fueled power plants.

Sweden did have a nuclear program but it was decommissioned in 1966. The program instead went exclusively into civilian energy production, with nuclear power plants being built from 1969 until 1980. The military did not show any interest since 1970, with nuclear weapons deemed way to expensive, ineffective, and the civilian research and military research diverging too much in order for continued cooperation.

Geo-engineering is interesting, but like nuclear weapons it is also a tool for mass destruction and warfare on a scale that even dwarf the largest nuclear weapons in existence. The R&D for geo-engineering in order to address global warming is indistinguishable from using it as a weapon. It order to make sure that geo-engineering does not cause mass destruction, it is essential to know what could trigger mass destruction.
We used mercury in fur clothing and lead in gasoline also because they were nontoxic.

We are seeing population-scale effects exactly identical to what we see in animal models and in Petri dishes. Hormone disruption, which you’d expect to see metabolic disorders (like obesity), changes in sexuality (in animals we see a reduction in sexual dimorphism — plausibly connected to gender dysphoria), and fertility problems.

We don’t know for certain this stuff is bad, but I am absolutely sure that your confidence is unwarranted.
> What are you saying exactly? This was about location tracking.

The question, as posed by you, was whether a parent who was keeping track of their child while the child was very young, would still do so when the child comes of age and into adulthood. I proposed that the likelihood was very high indeed, since most parents have trouble reevaluating their perception of their child, even though that perception was formed and solidified while the child was very young. It follows, that parents would not see a good enough reason for deliberately altering their habitual tracking as the child turns into an adult.
Those games brought back some memories…. Escape Velocity was such an awesome game!
What is the worst AWS service? I vote for Amplify
You will face two different methods to create an Amplify project when you use Amplify. This is just the beginning: it will make a bunch of random-named resources on your AWS account, totally untransparent config files in the local or production environment, and the manual (document) that looks so fancy but is split from AWS’s document system and contains almost zero information. You can barely find the config file sample in their document.
what is MX?
Are the words hello and HELLO spelled differently? I am pretty squarely in the camp that filesystems should be case sensitive (perhaps with an insensitive shell on top), but I would not consider those two words as having a different spelling. To me that means they are the same sequence of characters.
that has not been my experience.
Who is this "any person" who's searching for random hex, and how much do you think they care of Google shows them a car instead of whatever thing they're not even actually looking for?

the idea that this mythical "any person" even cares about the difference between a useless car result and a page that says no results and then they just move on with their lives is projecting a lot of your own biases onto a hypothetical.

I remember my eyesight was 20/20 all my life until I started playing more and more with phones and tablets, now I can barely see any font in a regular browser tab at 100% zoom so I set it to 150% by default.

One thing that changed for good is using a 50" TV as monitor connected to my mac mini at 4' distance from my chair. Now my eyes don't cross anymore and my sight has improved a lot.

So yes, I concur that looking at clouds and the horizon everyday may be a good way to recalibrate our eyes. Spend more time outdoors.

[edit] Oh, and whenever I can, I cast my phone to my tv in the bedroom so I don't spend countless hours on tiktok forcing my eyes. I wish tiktok and instagram were available in landscape mode.

That's why Microsoft is terrified.

They've kept this company propped up with billions in data-center expenses, fed it pipelines galore of data, and now johnny-come-lately shows up & reaps all the same reward. While not firehosing all their data back in.

Zero loyalty, zero benefit for Microsoft if this alliance they've spent out the ass for again and again starts partnering up with the direct competitor, who unlike them will retain all the data. But that's OpenAI!

Any company so brazenly willing to reneg on their not-for-profit mission, willing to completely two-facedly change themselves at a whim to chase profit: that should have been a sign. You should have known. Should have seen this coming.
That is very likely a longer term goal for Apple, but they want something ready to go this year and not to have a Google Gemini type half-baked launch.

There seems to be a history of data technologies requiring a serious corporate sponsor.

Nutrition science is anything but conclusive, however there is some preliminary research indicating seed oils may not be healthy and contribute to obesity. Why are condiments like ranch and mayonnaise unhealthy? Because they're almost entirely seed oils.

There is oat milk without any added oils, including Oatly, but you have to specifically look for that version, they're not always easy to find. And it will taste thinner without any fatty component that cows milk has.

There’s so much more going on In this war that Taking advantage of people to enrich themselves. I met a girl making $400,000 a year In Ukraine, vacationing in America, selling military clothing.

Melatonin.

There's loads of wisdom about improving sleep. Exercise, wind down rituals, avoiding caffeine, various diet ideas. Changing bedtime, changing alarm time. Nothing made a perceptible difference. Dropping caffeine was especially useless advice as it has no impact on my sleep but made me much less effective.

Melatonin tablets however are magic. My pet theory is the CYP1A2 genotype which is known to control how effectively you eliminate caffeine also affects how effectively you eliminate melatonin. Being unusually efficient at metabolising melatonin seems likely to present as insomnia.
I'm pretty sure OpenAI will make a deal with Apple in a way that's palatable to Microsoft.

> It is conditioning on latents about truth, falsity, reliability, and calibration. All of these inferred latents have been shown to exist inside LLMs, as they need to exist for LLMs to do their jobs in accurately predicting the next token.

No, it isn't, and no, they haven't [1], and no, they don't.

The only thing that "needs to exist" for an LLM to generate the next token is a whole bunch of training data containing that token, so that it can condition based on context. You can stare at your navel and claim that these higher-level concepts end up encoded in the bajillions of free parameters of the model -- and hey, maybe they do -- but that's not the same thing as "conditioning on latents". There's no explicit representation of "truth" in an LLM, just like there's no explicit representation of a dog in Stable Diffusion.

Do the thought exercise: if you trained an LLM on nothing but nonsense text, would it produce "truth"?

LLMs "hallucinate" precisely because they have no idea what truth means. It's just a weird emergent outcome that when you train them on the entire internet, they generate something close to enough to truthy, most of the time. But it's all tokens to the model.

[1] I have no idea how you could make the claim that something like a latent conceptualization of truth is "proven" to exist, given that proving any non-trivial statement true or false is basically impossible. How would you even evaluate this capability?
that's not my experience.

By mapping audit costs and returns across the income spectrum, he continued, “We saw very clear evidence that the return from audits at the top of the income distribution really exceeded by quite a bit the returns at the bottom of the income distribution.” With the top 10 percent of earners, they found, audits have the potential to return more than $12 for each $1 spent.
