Of course journalism costs money.

Sometimes it’s just not directly paid (most commonly: ad-supported journalism), or even paid for by the journalist with their time and opportunity cost of not selling it to somebody that does charge for it (blogs etc.)

If none of these are applicable, chances are it’s PR, not journalism.
The current trend in corporate values emphasizes having three of these, but I love the acronym.
>using the literal prisoners dilemma

they're using game theoretic payouts, but it's not the literal "prisoner's dilemma" which has it in each prisoner's interest to rat no matter what the other prisoner does, and yet it's still net advantageous for neither to rat.
> Long COVID doesn't 'do you in for good'. The only evidence I'm aware of is that subsequent COVID infections tend to be less dangerous, not more.

FTA:

> A new report commissioned by the Social Security Administration in 2022 says that Long Covid is a chronic illness. People see gradual improvement in symptoms over time, but a plateau may occur 6-12 months post-infection, and only 22% fully recover within a year. Others remain stable or get worse.

This coupled with normalized non masking means reinfections and their consequences will continue to occur.

Discrimination applies to people only. Anyway, I honestly find philosophical arguments irrelevant to the issue of a company using someone else's content without permission to do that -- it isn't about philosophy, it's about capitalism.

It's not "artificial intelligence" reading this content. It's just a bunch of companies trying to scrap as much as possible without paying a dime for it to train LLMs. Sometimes they don't get away with that, see recent Reddit and OpenAI partnership [0] -- it's basically the same thing but with 2 huge corps, rather than a company and an individual.

You and I are looking at the same issue from different angles.

Rust is much less ergonomic than Swift, especially for application-level development.

I like to think about it like this: Rust forces you to think about memory where Swift doesn’t.

But what’s really cool is that Swift is adopting some of the great things about Rust’s ownership system, allowing you to “opt-in” to a Rust-style performance profile if you think the mental overhead is worth it for your use-case or domain.

To see what I’m talking about check out https://youtu.be/I9XGyizHxmU?si=Zl-7dA0NqhnctRPQ

What’s exciting to me is that Swift is becoming a great language that works at all levels of the stack while staying a language that feels really great to write.

IMO what’s largely held it back in adoption is its cross-platform experience, but you see that the Swift team is really trying to change the perception here (they’ve specifically tried to highlight using non-Xcode/non-Mac dev environments, deploying to Linux, developing embedded etc.).

As far as I see, GDPR would not applicable here - GDPR is about control of "your data" as in "personal data about you as a private individual"[1], it is not about "your data" as in "content created or owned by you".

Show HN: Call John Cena and Guy Raz AI Clones
Backstory:

I moved to another country and found it difficult to stay in touch with my best friend due to the significant time difference. Both of us were busy with work and higher education, making it nearly impossible to match our schedules. Missing my friend and feeling isolated in a new country, I decided to create an AI version of him. This turned out to be a complex task, so I started by replicating famous people to explore the technology further.

What the Project Does:

Our project creates AI versions of real people using data sourced from platforms like YouTube. Written entirely in Python, we developed scripts to process this data, enabling a Large Language Model (LLM) to mimic individuals as closely as possible. We use ElevenLabs to replicate voices and Twilio to initiate phone calls.

Feature Update:

We are currently developing a new version where users can create AI versions of their favorite celebrities by simply pasting YouTube links. This one-click solution aims to make the process seamless and user-friendly.

Technical Details:

One of the biggest challenges was writing a script that formats raw data into a structure that the LLM can understand and execute accurately. We experimented with different approaches, including running LLMs locally (using LLaMA) and fine-tuning models, but these methods often lacked accuracy. Ultimately, we devised our own approach to achieve better results.

I think this comment assumes that you're using one allocator, but it's probably normal in Zig to use one allocator for your caches, and another allocator for your per-request state, with one instance of the latter sort of allocator for each execution context that handles requests (probably coroutines). So you can just have both, and the stuff that can go in the bump allocator does, and concurrent requests don't step on each others toes.

I've not looked recently, but giving it a cursory look there are stackable systems out there for ~£1.1k per 5kwh, which is about a third of the price of a power wall. They also have local APIs which is really nice to integrate into Home Automation.

I've never heard of the 14nm barrier in policymaking and cannot remember of one. If you can link me a first hand source I'd appreciate it. I might be misremembering.

Anyhow, this is the core of the Sullivan Principle from back in 2019 (and in development even earlier)

"The United States will also have to safeguard its technological advantages in the face of China’s intellectual property theft, targeted industrial policies, and commingling of its economic and security sectors. Doing so will require some enhanced restrictions on the flow of technology investment and trade in both directions, but these efforts should be pursued selectively rather than wholesale, imposing curbs on technologies that are critical to national security and human rights and allowing regular trade and investment to continue for those that are not. Even these targeted restrictions must be undertaken in consultation with industry and other governments; failing to do so could Balkanize the global technology ecosystem by impeding flows of knowledge and talent. Such a development would neutralize a key U.S. competitive advantage relative to China: an open economy that can source the best global talent and synthesize the biggest breakthroughs from around the world. Meanwhile, overreach on technology restrictions could drive other countries toward China, especially since China is already the largest trading partner for most.

In this respect, the Trump administration’s loud and largely unilateral campaign against the participation of the Chinese company Huawei in the development of 5G infrastructure may provide a cautionary lesson. Had the administration coordinated with allies and partners in advance and tried some creative policymaking—for example, establishing a multilateral lending initiative to subsidize the purchase of alternatives to Huawei’s equipment—it might have had more success in convincing states to consider other vendors. It then might have been able to make the most of the two-year delay Huawei now faces in rolling out 5G following its placement on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s list of entities that cannot be supplied with American technology. Future efforts to restrict trade with China in the technology sector will require careful deliberation, advance planning, and multilateral support if they are to be successful; otherwise, they will risk undermining U.S. innovation."

You are being a pedant. "Good" can describe anything that meets high standards or performs well in its context, e.g. as 'good game' or 'good weather.'

Your excessive focus on minor linguistic nuances is counterproductive. It's more important to understand the overall message than to get bogged down by trivialities, which everyone here seems to be able to do — except you.

Moreover, by repeatedly correcting language, you give off an 'I'm smarter than you' vibe, which isn't conducive to a productive conversation.

GPT-4 is 1.8T parameters. Until a model with at least 2-4x the number of params with no discernable improvement is released can we say that improvement has stalled. The biggest I imagine are Opus and Gemini Ultra with around 2T, far less that the geometric increase to demonstrate new emergent capabilities. Either way evidence has not been put forward yet to disprove scaling laws so until then, the apparent stalling is simply that a next-gen OOM model has yet to be trained and deployed.
Link is broken, but my curiosity is piqued.
Thank you, do you have any data to back up some of your points?
From 50% (or more) to 5% (or less) depending on local jurisdiction and scale.

If they want it to happen and aren’t greedy? It’s rarely a major problem. Otherwise, sky is the limit.

I know of a couple sizable projects that finally got cancelled because the local AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) finally just got too greedy. In one case they threw on an extra couple hundred grand worth of city park improvements as a requirement on a couple million dollar (small) project. Developer ended up walking away, as that was the fourth time they did that.

Some folks just can’t help but make it lose/lose.

From experience, I can say that there are many games with transferable skills.

At the top of my list is Factorio, and second is actually World of Warcraft.

More generally, there is a lot to learn from game design that you can learn through playing. The question of how to make taxes palatable, for example, is really no different to the question of how to challenge a player without frustrating them.

I believe the value of games are poorly understood, partially because chess, a game that has nothing left to teach us, muddies the conversation
Perhaps, but at least in my religion lying is a way to not get to be part of the world in a far future state when it is put right.

Some religions say that unverifiable statements are sacred, but I don't have any kind scriptural infallibility in the variant of mine that I hold to. There's also an element in it equating God with truth, which would imply that going away from truth, or not seeking it, is going away from, or not seeking God.

I don't if this is unique to my religion, but if it is, then it fits me very well.

But they get to enjoy both the social proof on SO and GPT-4 existing.

It's not like they're getting validation from most readers anyway. People who vote and comment on answers are playing the SO social/karma game and will continue to do so whether GPT-4 exists or not. Conversely, people who'll find answers via an LLM instead of viewing it on SO are people who wouldn't bother logging in to SO, even if they had accounts on it in the first place.

People are complaining about losing the audience they never had.

Leading to a new equilibrium. That equilibrium will not necessarily be one favorable to human life. In the same way that eating an extra 5 donuts a day might lead to a new equilibrium of your weight, but that doesn't necessarily imply one is healthy.

The existing EVs' specs are more than enough, don't worry.

And yes most of these EVs are still pretty dumb, so you'd like them. It's just that Tesla got the hype.

By the way, when you realize that you actually never drive for 500km straight without e.g. several 30min pauses to rest, which can be used for charging if you have an EV, you discover that you have much more options than you'd think to choose a model to buy. (most governments officially advise it, as not doing pauses would endanger the lives of everybody on the road)

On the other hand there are a significant number of people who are energy-burdened, and they often have the most inefficient homes (leaky or non-existent sealing, little insulation, old appliances, etc). These homes often have the least ability to take advantage of government rebates since they may only be tax rebates while the retrofit still requires up the upfront cost to be paid. At the same time, high-income homes, though often much more efficient, also often use the most energy (since floor area tends to grow with home owner income, and space conditioning/electric requirements tend to grow with floor area). It’s easy to design incentive programs which have a big carbon impact but a bad equity impact in that they just end up giving money to people who would already be upgrading their homes without the rebates.

The person who knows just how much money they are spending on their bill every month will likely value the savings much more (ie the utility value of the savings are much higher), but they may also have far less awareness of the kinds of programs available to them for retrofitting their home or installing PV.

It’s a complicated problem, figuring out who to reach and how to drive adoption while balancing decarbonization and equity!
For 8kb? Syscalling in to the kernel, updating the processes’s memory map and then later faulting is probably slower by an order of magnitude or more compared to just setting those bytes to zero.

the difference between new york times and a independent creator journalism is that the NYT can fund a huge legal department to defend free speech inside the court system. Its why the major free speech cases like NYT v Sullivan have the NYT in the name.

There is never, ever going to be an equivalent case with big tech ("Google V Sullivan") because Google does care what happens to youtube creators, and they are not liable because thanks to section 230 they are not a publisher. Google do not care if any youtuber get sued out of existence by the government or the powerful. Same for Wikipedia, Wikipedia is never going to be involved in a major free speech case because thanks to section 230 they have no legal liability for what others post on their site. Same for Facebook, Twitch, Twitter, all of them. Big Tech media has absolutely zero protections for any of the journalism done on them.

That is why big cases like Weinstein are still done by the NYT and The New Yorker.
