The real question here is whether websites are entitled to that traffic, or even more specifically, to human eyes - and to what extent that should allow them to override users' preferences (which are made fairly clear by the very act of using Perplexity in the first place; the reason why you'd do it instead of doing a Google Search and then manually sifting through the links yourself is because most of what you see is garbage).

I would even argue that the whole conversation about AI is a distraction here. Imagine if, instead of using an LLM, Perplexity actually assigned a human agent to your query who'd do the same thing that the model does: write the search queries based on your high-level question, read through the pages that come up, and condense it all into a summary with references to the original sources. That would, of course, be a lot more expensive, but the output would be the same, and so would be the consequences: the person who asked the original high-level question does not get exposed to all the content that had to be waded through to answer it. Is that unethical? If not, then why does replacing the human agent with an AI in this scenario becomes unethical?

And if the answer is "scale", that gets uncomfortably close to saying that it's okay for the rich but not for the plebs.

We don't usually call printed advertisements commercials. Commercial usual means an advertising in a radio or television setting. Even advertisements in a movie theater don't tend to be called commercials.
They're limited to pretty small sizes by german law - they are so insignificant that they're much less dangerous to handle. I'm not up to date on their ROI, but IIR they usually were a rather bad investment and more of a novel toy than a serious and reliable source of electricity.

Essentially, any notable installation fundamentally deals with much higher currents and voltages and as such is much, much more dangerous. Once a certain size is reached, the carrier also has to be involved and professional installation is mandatory, both due to the law and requirements by insurance companies.

At least here in germany. I've been involved with building all kinds of PV installations in bavaria, from 4kwp up to 20MWp. The balkony generators aren't taken seriously by anybody in the industry right now, at least.

No, he is not. I don't think he's even had "utgivningsbevis" at any point in his career as YouTube beggar. Maybe he got one after he lost the defamation cases, I'm not sure. During this particular criminal venture he didn't even try to protect himself with the formalities around and practices in journalism, so it mostly shows your political sympathies when you claim he was one.

I learned once of a quick workaround that's baffling - putting a dot at the end of the domain name (example.com/page becomes example.com./page)

Apparently this usually still resolves to the same page but the browser treats it as a different domain with separate cookies and localStorage, so it would bypass the limit, but if you kept doing it then it'd probably accumulate free articles still and stop working
What would be the reason for that, other than general interest of how things were done? Any effects or playback differences that still need to be ironed out?
That's not a relevant factor in most legal regimes. At best it's a moral argument.

But I think that’s just because SMS wasn’t encrypted. If it was they would just explain things differently.

I think the number one thing for them is features. Blue equals all the features, green equals whatever works.

So even if RCS were to be done encrypted, which I doubt, it wouldn’t support the message effects or text formatting or iMessage apps. So they would still use blue to differentiate.

As things exist today, encryption is simply what they think is most important so that’s what they lead with.

Sort of a tangent, but I'm really stoked that Apple has uploaded all of their WWDC videos onto youtube. I am much more likely to watch them on there.

It’s like cheap Canadian cellphone or internet plans - you have to wait until a news org offers a deal, then sign up for it. Managed to get cheap NYT and WSJ subs from it. You have to cancel when the price goes up and then accept the offer at cancellation to keep your low price for one more year, forever.

Honestly, if my local library offered more online news subscriptions, I would much prefer that. How we ended up in this scenario where everyone, even Medium, shows me a paywall with high subscription fees to bypass it is not sustainable worldwide in the long run. I don’t mind paying for content, but keep it reasonable!
The public libraries in the USA that I'm familiar with have thousands of periodicals accessible on Libby. That's one way to slightly fund the authors of the essays and other features in those magazines.

"it usually lacks many facilities commonly found in desktops or servers."

This is where they implied that operating system level functionalities are not found on computers without operating systems.

The fragmentation that exists in embedded is due to the nature of embedded systems, not programming languages. PCs, laptops, and smartphones are general purpose computers. Just about everything else is an embedded device, hardware custom designed for a specific purpose, given just enough resources to accomplish its intended task. Writing software for a general purpose computer on top of a full OS can largely be done without caring about the underlying hardware. Writing embedded firmware without an OS is only possible through understanding the specific hardware you are targeting.
I see no competition. I use Perplexity regularly to give me summaries of articles or to do preliminary research. If I like what I'm seeing, then I go to the source. If a source chooses to block their content because they don't want it to be accessed by AI bots then they reduce even further the chance of me - and increasingly more persons - touching their site at all.
This article reads like it generated by an LLM, and its source looks like similar junk content, claiming for example that Tesla "operates on an operating system built on the Python programming language" -- if there is a human author, that author definitely doesn't know what an operating system is. I can find no reputable source making the same claim, and in fact, Elon Musk referred to ">300k lines of C++ code" in a previous version of FSD.[0]

Former CDC director predicts bird flu pandemic
Afaik, all of the radar assisted cruise control / emergency braking systems ignore stationary objects when travelling above a certain speed.

This is false. Radar assisted cruise control definitely do not ignore stationary objects above a certain speed; indeed, detecting stationary objects is a fundamental part of how emergency braking systems work...

Other automakers are simply better at determining what objects are in the path of travel than Tesla, because they actually test their systems before they release them to the public.

Aircraft autopilot flight is much more like cruise control in a car. The pilot flying is actively monitoring instruments and adjusting settings to make the autopilot do what's needed. Not playing games on their phone.

Especially in the terminal area there is no such thing as the autopilot flying the plane with no pilot involvement. There are heading, speed and altitude adjustments as input to the autopilot just like a car driver would be actively involved when driving with normal cruise control.

It’s a market. There’s no demand for security. How often has the average Joe has one of their online accounts hacked or credit card details stolen in 2024?

Obviously the most effective way of incentivizing companies to focus on security is NSA assembling a team to hack important companies, create real harm and accompanying press releases. Ah sorry, I meant Russian hacker news.
> At the same time though, it’s starting to feel to me, to some extent, like we have kind of solved solar?

There are many metrics that affect power generation (or anything really). A few are:

- Power generation per unit area

- Power generation per unit mass

- Power generation per dollar

- Lifetime

- Decline rate (ie does the cell get less effective over time?)

- Flexibility (eg can you wrap it around a cylinder)

- Minimum size

- Maximum size

- Cost to repair

Where a given solar panel fits in the above vector space will change its applications. In some cases, size is paramount. In others, cost is paramount. Sometimes you need long-lived panels. A good example if solar panels for space probes. These need to be generate as much power for as little weight and it doesn't even really matter what the cost is. Also, making such a panel last 30 years might be irrelevant if the lifetime of the mission is 5-10 years.

So no, I wouldn't call solar "solved".
That’s the kind of thing I was trying to get at with my “current approach” comment.

Maybe solar cells based on chemical reactions or [insert science things here] can do far better, but right now semiconductors is what everyone sells.

A go-around is the right call whenever the approach is not stabilized, even if visibility is perfect.

In aircraft, legal liability is unaffected by whether the autopilot is on; the pilot in command is responsible no matter what. I see no reason for cars to be any different.
I can imagine. An AI "copilot" could mean quick error correction... or maybe a snowballing of tiny errors into something catastrophic.

It's nice that people are willing to create content on Stack Overflow so that Prosus NV can make advertising revenue from their free labor. But ultimately only a fool would trust answers from secondary sources like Stack Overflow, Quora, Wikipedia, Hacker News, etc. They can be useful sources to start an investigation but ultimately for anything important you still have to drill down to reliable primary sources. This has always been true, and the rise of LLMs doesn't change anything.

For what it's worth, the Stack Exchange terms of service do prohibit AI generated content. I'm not sure how they actually enforce that, and in practice as the LLMs improve it's going to be almost impossible to reliably detect.

Ask HN: Transitioning from web dev to more "impactful" tech
As I enter the latter half of my career, I'm interested in working on problems that I consider more societally impactful. The first half of my career was centered around enterprise software and e-commerce. Nothing wrong with that but at a personal level I certainly didn't get much personal fulfillment from the end goal of what I created.

I'm curious if anyone with a background in general "web technologies" is either using their skills on more societally beneficial goals, or has transitioned to other skills in those areas.

The kinds of things I'm talking about are anything related to decarbonization (e.g. renewable energy, storage, grid improvements, etc.), curing/treating disease and human ailments, scientific exploration, other environmental improvements, etc.

Well, the other issue is that people pay too much attention to national news and waaaay to little attention to local news.

That fracking site that just opened up next to your farm should probably occupy your attention. The four slobs trying to bring fiber to your town need your support. The fact that your local sheriff's office is swinging around with military gear might be a bit of a concern. etc.

Sure, you want to make sure you are paying attention to whether the fascists are trying to take over nationally, however, those same people can do a lot more direct damage to you by taking over local control.
This is a technical fact.

It is also a technical fact that a client can send any header it wants.
The problem that Perplexity has that ad blockers don't is that they're an independent site that is publishing content based on work they didn't produce. That runs afoul of both copyright laws and section 230 which let's sites like Google and Facebook operate. That's pretty different from an ad blocker running on your local machine. The ad blocker isn't publishing the page it edited for you.

Actually you are engaging in selective discrimination against artificial intelligence. If someone, a human, read your blog and offered a consulting service using the knowledge gained from your blog, it would be legal. You wouldn't discriminate against biological intelligence, so why discriminate against artificial intelligence? Speaking in the limiting sense, you are denying it a right to exist and to fend for itself.

To help you in your decision, consider alternative forms of intelligence and existence such as those in simulation, those in a vat, and in any other possible substrates. How do you draw the line? Are humans the only ones that deserve to offer the consulting service?

I think copyright law as a mechanism for incentivizing the creation of new intellectual works is fundamentally challenged by the invention and continued development of the shockingly powerful machine learning technique of generative pre-training and those inspired.

The only reason big companies are under focus is because only they currently have the financial and social resources to afford to train state of the art AI models that threaten human creative work as a means of earning a living. This means we can focus enforcement on them and perpetuate the current legal regime. This moat is absolutely not permanent; we as a species didn’t even know it was actually possible to achieve these sorts of results in the first place. Now that we know, certainly over time we will understand and iterate on these revelations to the point that any individual could construct highly capable models of equal or greater capacity than that which only a few have access to today. I don’t see how copyright is even practically enforceable in such a future. Would we collectively even want to?

Rather than asserting a belief about legal/moral rights or smugly tell real people whose creative passion is threatened by this technology that resistance is futile, I think we need to urgently discuss how we incentivize and materially support the continued human involvement in creative expression before governments and big corporations decide it for us. We need to discussing and advocating for proactive policy on the AI front generally, no job appears safe including those who develop these models and employ them.

Personally, I’m hoping for a world that looks like how chess evolved after computers surpassed the best humans. The best players now analyze their past matches to an accuracy never before possible and use this information to tighten up their game. No one cares about bot matches, it isn’t just about the quality of the moves but the people themselves.

I was able to get this to work with an LLM, but had to build some short term memory to keep awareness as you explored. The current site allows you to interact with an Oregon Trail or Zork like world, but you can specify any time in history and then it will create the stories and stay within that world. I also have it generate some images to go along with you for fun. https://grue.is/ (PS, I don't know how to code, so this is also proof that you can use an LLM to write all the software, here is my github if you are interested in learning more about that: https://github.com/lrspeiser/Grue.is)
> Well, the arguments out there aren’t that LLM’s are too brash, or discourteous or, insensitive. People are saying they’re “dangerous”.

I didn't say that...

> None of your examples speak to danger.

Why should they have supported an argument I didn't make.

My comment is anti-anti-censorship of LLM. People already self-censor a lot; "reading the room" is huge part of being a functional member of society, and expecting LLMs to embody the "no-filter, inappropriate jerk" personality is what's against the grain - not the opposite.

I'm pragmatic enough to know the reason corporate LLMs "censor" is their inability to read the room, so they default to the lowest common factor and be inoffensive all the time (which has no brand risk), rather than allowing for the possibility the LLM offends $PROTECTED_CLASS, which can damage their brand or be legally perilous. That juice is not worth the squeeze just to make a vocal subset of nerd happy; all the better if those nerds fine-tune/abliterate public models so the corps can wash their hands of any responsibility of the modified versions.

I'm not sure what's Apple plan here, as others have stated Swift will stay for the foreseeable future 'IOS language', and even if it is used internally, why not use Rust instead who provides a similar kind of safety and convenience, and is already much more used in embedded devices? Assuming the reason is to avoid using C/Cpp.

Given engineers' skills at Apple using Rust would not be an issue.
