Yeah but the united states is also the main cause of developing countries not having access to cheap medicines through the enforcement of IP laws. You can look up the special case of India and Brazil who managed to negotiate in a much better way and so are entitled to cheaper treatments.

I know someone from a EU country that had to do medical tourism to Brazil to afford hepatitis and HIV treatment as the drugs are so expensive that the doctors at public hospitals (in that country at least) will not prescribed them and instead manage the illness in other ways for the first few years. This is bad because the disease progresses faster.
Additionally, why do they allow to call it "Dynamic Feed" and not for what it is: "Addictive Feed"? Seems like doublespeak.
Sure, of course, technically, but that circles back to @quietbritishjim’s point: if you have the bandwidth for, say, 8 bits per channel, then just display it without dithering. Dithering would reduce the quality. If you don’t have the bandwidth for 8 bits per channel, then dithering won’t help, it’s already too low and dithering will make it lower. In other words, dithering always reduces the color resolution of the signal, so when a compression constraint is involved, it’s pretty difficult to find a scenario where dithering makes sense to use. This is why dithering isn’t used for streaming, it’s mainly used to meet the input color resolution constraints of various media or devices, or for stylistic reasons.
Maybe you should stop thinking that this is a technical problem to be solved. It is a problem with society, that these people can exist.

You could just as well ban sharp knives, so that no one can be stabbed anymore. After that you would still live in a world where people get killed and we all use butterknives to cut our bread.

Hungary is next in line for presidency and wants Chat Control pretty bad. Who says that these Scanners can only be used to look for CSAM? I’m pretty sure the Hungarian government is also interested in people sending pride flags. Let’s see how that works out…
Procedural emission of textures, biomes and cities is not ML/AI generated... Also physics simulation of erosion for landscapes may look natural to most people.

The problem is when groups start gleaning styles and artwork from 3rd parties to make something in the same style... they cross an ethical line, and a legal one in some situations (even if the original work is completely isolated from the output.)

What if we flip the dynamics: a hobbyist training a LoRA on Disney movies? This is just an appeal to... well, "big = bad".

I believe what GP meant by rent-seekers are copyright holders who expect to own information for a hundred years, including all derivatives of it. It could be Disney, it could be an "original character do not steal" artist, and it could be "don't train on our AI" OpenAI. While regular producers would be those who use free licenses, or at least are OK with derivatives.

If you want to show photogrammetric pointclouds of buildings potree db&algorithm is pretty good and if you don’t like the library for some reason it’s pretty easy to reimplement (potree.org).

You just dump the pointcloud to a hierarchical octree and at viewer end just download the nodes in your frusttum and voila.

There are other approaches but this wins hands down on usability/simplicity.
Show HN: A forum for sharing and discovering project ideas
It often happens that one has a brilliant idea for a project, but not the willpower and personal alignment to bring it to life. The EA forum has at least 3 massive lists testifying to this: for [post ideas](https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/9AEEqDR8zcQv2XmsB/...), for [research ideas](https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/MsNpJBzv5YhdfNHc9/...) and for [new organisations to start](https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/K5R35pgPFk3DcGyRp/...)).

It also often happens that when one does venture out to find ideas to pursue that would fit well with them, one finds none. Good ideas are drowned amidst the million other discussions on social media. Some ideas take too long, some don't arouse enough interest, and others are just... outdated. Hence the flood of people building things that already exist, doing things that even they themselves know won't make a real difference in the world.

I've built a solution: a forum exclusively dedicated for project ideas. Share things you want to see happen in the world, discover things you actually want to do. For now, there's just some handy filters – more to come as the number of ideas grows. I appreciate your feedback!

Ever more child porn is generated mechanically, without any real child suffering. It is much safer for the producers to use AI instead.

Most countries in the world consider AI-generated child porn illicit, but some don't, and it would be worth rethinking the difference. Once there is no human victim whose rights were violated, a major reason for banning such images disappears, and only vague reasons remain: either that it could stimulate consumers to act in reality (which is a wobbly theory), or that it is disgusting.

I wrote a CSP solver a while ago. The bugs were alarmingly prone to being incomplete enumeration of solutions. The solver would say "Yep, here's all 2412 solutions to that problem", but there were more solutions out there it missed. I didn't usually know how many solutions there would be so it's hard to distinguish between "all of them" and "95% of them". However that also threw a lot of doubt on when the solver returned unsat - was the problem unsat, or was the solver failing to look in part of the search space?

I didn't find a plausible testing strategy for convincing myself that the last of that class of error was gone and ultimately stopped working on it as a result.

In Germany, unlike every other European country (maybe except the Polish, not sure if they're doing the same with Auschwitz?), we have every generation of school children visit a Nazi Konzentrationslager once - precisely to avoid forgetting how bad it was, by showing the actual, undeniable evidence. And on top of that the Nazi dictatorship is usually an entire year's worth of history lessons in schools.

Despite the far-right being on the rise as well as everywhere in Europe, they still have a harder time here, which I think is mostly due to these two education policies.
I'll speculate. They add extra lines (most probably via AST, not lines of chars) to the code which register if code run. Can't confirm that with code or anything. I saw similar techniqies in test coverage tools.
I’m no blockchain fan, but… wow. So much to unpack there. I’m not sure taking it seriously was ever on the table.
I've used creduce (and cvise) to reduce test cases for all kinds of inputs, even ones that aren't C-like. If it has newline-delimited text, it'll work well (though you should adjust the knobs accordingly in order to converge faster).
iirc more like that you basically need the 'loose mode' because most cpe's are bridging wireless and wired networks, but this then won't protect against the more serious shenanigans
Dana Angluin's group were studying chat systems way back in 1992. There even was a conference around conversational AI back then.
These[0][1] tweets showed up to my timeline recently. I don't know it's just an anti-AI luddite propaganda or not, and I do find people who do definitely not fit below caricaturization, but it seem to resonate with my sentiments and geostationary orbit gist of the matter:

David Holz mentioned in today’s Midjourney office hours that they have more customers over 45 than under 18. He said you’re more likely to run into a 65-year-old woman than a teenager in MidJourney’s community.I think that’s a really interesting point about generative AI. It’s a bunch of old people who are telling you that it’s some mind-blowing invention. Young people are largely uninterested. They think it’s boomer art, not the guaranteed technology of the future. It’s only cool to olds.

The internet was never like that—old people haven’t traditionally driven the culture. Tiktok and YouTube are often associated with younger people. Popular music and movies too. AI seems to only appeal to people who are past their prime. It lacks the It factor for people under 40.

Why should AI need permission to perform the equivalent of "human looking" at content? We humans don't need permission, why should AI?

I could paint a picture of a Disney character after looking at nothing but public promotional material already out in public view, online or in print etc. The tools I use to paint with are capable of all the same colours and lines used in Disney characters. We don't blame the tools for that, but we seem to be blaming AI for being too good?
I'm not saying SPAs are wrong. There is a very valid set of uses and it sounds like you're well in there, though if your state model is so fragile to won't survive me accidentally refreshing, you need to look at that.

But many enthusiastic young developers start using a framework and decide to do everything with it. Same was true on server dynamic frameworks. Everyone's first project is technologically-inappropriate blog. These sites would be objectively better as SSG sites.

Btw, Astro is surprisingly excellent at using frontend components from multiple frameworks, even in the same project. If your interactivity is in-page, or you have a mixed MPA-SPA domain, it's well worth a look.

Even the DX, I prefer it to Next/Next projects where you're chained to a set of dev dependencies from the start. My last Nuxt upgrade took three weeks to unhook various deep integrations and fix things (Vue 2 to 3 too). Nightmare.

Sure, the soil and other things are literally made of the corpses of earlier lifeforms, but that still qualifies as "recycling". I'm just addressing the fact that not everything is actually "recycled" in this way, and is simply buried, similar to a human landfill, although for nature and asteroids, the stuff wasn't used by the biosphere in the first place so it isn't exactly "garbage" in the normal sense.

Stuff like lead (Pb), for instance, isn't useful to the biosphere as far as I know, and is actively harmful to lifeforms in fact. It came from asteroid impacts to my knowledge, and was buried in the ground before humans dug it up and extracted it from ore, yielding the lead pollution we have today.
KMM has two ways to do UI. You can do it natively and use Kotlin only for shared business logic (it inter-ops with Swift/Objective C). Or, you can take the new Android UI toolkit (Jetpack Compose) and it use it on desktop/iOS/web as well, for your whole app.

i've used drmaciver's property testing library hypothesis to find bugs in c libraries before; it has shrinking. 'doesn't crash' is the easiest property to define, but a bit fiddly to connect to property testing libraries, because you have to spawn a subprocess. in one case i just used fork, _exit, and wait, but in some cases things get ugly then (posix threads guarantee you almost nothing, but fortunately i wasn't using threads)

sat and smt solvers have gotten astoundingly good, and most of the leading ones are free software. smt-comp shows off new gains every year and has a lineup of the leaders

z3 is a particularly easy smt solver to get started with, in part because of its convenient python binding

a thing sat/smt and property-based testing have in common is that they both solve inverse problems, allowing you to program at a more declarative level

To be fair to good JS backend devs, my view is biased by the fact that me and my team do Python and Golang work and the only time we interact with JS devs is when there is frontend to be written. Some frontend guys are good, most of them are poorly trained and those think they can write backend code and lobby managers to let them have a go at it. With disastrous results. I have never worked with JS backend devs who were any good. I am sure they exist, but I have yet to meet one.
It’s a bit disingenuous to mention that without acknowledging that it was an open source terminology first.

I'm not a frontend engineer or really a fully experienced backend engineer. I have done systems stuff, lots of OPS, scaling and other things adjacent.

Flutter is interesting to me because I can use a tool like flutterflow to build an app and throw together the backend reasonably comfortably (with some possible future footguns included).

Not knowing Kotlin means this is less attractive to me, but I can see the benefit if I knew one language that could span frontend and backend very nicely.
You should understand that you cannot have the cake and eat it.

The logic here is very simple:

1) Any scanning messages of children and their parents means providing access to them, effectively removing the protection provided by the encryption.

2) If these messages are accessible to any algorithm or systems, however secure, there is no way to guarantee that the bad actors will be prevented from accessing these messages - it's only the question of time until this information is leaked.

3) If these messages are accessible to bad actors, it will enable more grooming - because they will be used to train language models to more effectively manipulate children and other people.

So while politicians can engage in their wishful and magical thinking about some wonderful technology that will allow, what they call, a "lawful access" but at the same time will somehow prevent unlawful access by bad actors, everybody with a bit of technical knowledge understands that it is simply impossible - it's either e2e encrypted and nobody other than the communicating parties can access it, or it is not - and then anybody with resources can access it, including bad actors.

That's why they want to scan messages of everybody other than themselves: https://www.eureporter.co/business/data/mass-surveillance-da...

It was never about protecting children - it is simply about eradicating the privacy as we know it, and preventing any dissent from being formed, and criminalising private conversations in the same way free speech is being criminalised. These ideas are not new - it's just now that they try to weaponise "let's protect the children" narrative to achieve it.

The only way to protect children and vulnerable people online is to reduce their discoverability on online platforms, not to expose their communications to enable more efficient grooming - which would be the effect of the scanning.

H.P. Newquist's "The Brain Makers: Genius, Ego, and Greed In The Search For Machines That Think" (1994) is a good book that centers on the second AI bubble (1980-1987) and its collapse. It is maybe a bit too focused on the companies and CEOs themselves rather than the technology, but it does cover the main problem of expert systems -- their brittleness when faced with a situation they haven't been designed for. One of the things that we learned with expert systems is it is better to have probabilistic weights for things rather than the IF THEN ELSE branches of a traditional expert system -- this led to things like Bayesian models which were popular before deep learning took over.

Secret grade is done within the confines of the game with no luck manipulation.

Note that the piece distribution algorithm is usually not a pure random() function, but one that's optimized to remove or reduce piece repetitions. For TGM it's history based (keep in memory the 4 last pieces type, reroll in case of repetition, with a 4 or 6 reroll limit depending on the game). IIRC Shuey uses a ruleset that uses the standard 7-bag algorithm (it's a Fisher-Yates with 7 elements; put all 7 types in a collection and deplete them one by one, randomly).
No because their insights are through firsthand direct experience. Of course they may just be experiencing convincing simulations, but then everything might be anyway.

Persia doesn't exist anymore, and I referenced to the country as Iran, if you check a bit more carefully.

The language, however, is spoken by roughly 100 million people, so I believe it is safe to assume that it still exists. Farsi is an endonym, just like the official language of Austria which is known in English as "German" and not Deutsch, its endonym.

Absolutely! The way they teach foreign languages in school is insane. "OK, you know 20 words and can't say a thing, now it's time to learn past tense".

I think it's a great project to learn and contribute. The scope is very broad, so there are plenty of different areas to contribute to, including not-so-advanced functionality. For example, the initial find-in-page feature was introduced just a few week ago[1] and the core logic relatively simple.

Plus, the build process is well documented and works out of the box (at least on Ubuntu in my experience) and the community is nice and welcoming.
