Not all artists want their art taken and distributed or modified endlessly.

Regardless, I think it seems important to create a system for tracking attestation of AI produced materials, especially with regard to disinformation campaigns. This may not be the sole/express purpose of the legislation, but we will need systems of attribution in the future to determine what's human made and what's not.

> What's a work of art?

According to the Wikipedia Article on Copyright Law in the United States:

> The United States copyright law protects "original works of authorship" fixed in a tangible medium, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. Copyright law includes the following types of works: Literary,
Musical,
Dramatic,
Pantomimes and choreographic works,
Pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works,
Audio-visual works,
Sound recordings,
Derivative works,
Compilations,
Architectural works.

If there are confusing edge cases, a judge will decide what counts, since definitions are subject to interpretation. But for the most part, this stuff is pretty clear cut and common sense.

None of this is to say I agree with this new legislation, I just don’t like when people on HN act as if the law falls apart in the face of freshman philosophy questions.
Ah, I’m glad that somebody at least tried to come up with a measure that sort of… matches the human eyeball intuition of what a difficult maze is, even if it is mathematically a bit funky.

> Apple's made no such announcement

They're plenty of reports they announced that change to hardware partners. I wouldn't hold my breath for a press release if that's what you're referring to though.

> and the presence of the "Pro" moniker implies that a non-Pro version has always been planned.

What's this to do with the price of tea in China? Apple halted work on the next Pro version to work on the lower cost version. This doesn't say Apple just now invented the idea of releasing a non-pro version. It does say Apple has realized the initial market tier they were developing for was the wrong one to start with and they need to stop any more work on that tier for now to instead work on getting said lower tier model to market next.

Unfortunately, Starbucks is opening “kiosk only” locations with no seating that, obviously, fail to function as a third place. My partner finished up a medical appointment and was waiting for me to arrive, and decided to stop in Starbucks. Oops, just a kiosk. The options left for a “third place” was a petrol station that had seating and a grocery store.

Somehow I don’t think petrol station seating areas will promoting a huge amount of neighbourhood entrepreneurship. I would probably look at more independent, locally-owned kind of establishments—particularly that do have seating.

I can think of a lot of critical meetings that happened in these sort of coffee shops, including a first interview for the person who is now our staff software architect, the first meeting I had with my now-business partner where we went over her product idea (admittedly that was a Starbucks), getting together to hash out ideas to solve difficult problems, and best of all, a random chance encounter because we were in a third place. This is in places as diverse as small heartland American towns, NYC, Tel Aviv, or Pennsylvania’s rust belt.

Fewer of these places means fewer of these good things happening. I don’t need a kiosk; I have an espresso machine I can operate at home or in the office.
We have a pair of 2015 Fiat 500Es on Kaua'i and have been very happy with our results. (Why two? Hit a pig nearly as big as the car in the first one, wasn't sure we were going to get it back from the shop [the car, not the pig] and bought a backup.) They are cute, peppy, and get about 120 miles per charge. And when they finally crap out the plan is to add their batteries to our house backup system.
Nix ≠ NixOS. Nix is a build tool (like make or Ninja or Bazel) with strict isolation of builds and caching of artifacts. NixOS is a distro built on top of that tool, like the BSDs are built on top of make, Gentoo on top of Portage, or gittup[1] on top of tup. Running NixOS while you’re building your resume is irrelevant; using Nix to create the final artifacts is a material statement about the chosen toolset.

I'm curious how the Windows build lab was set up in those days. To me something like this says that daily build was started by automation at midnight and took 22 minutes.

> The build functions well on top of standard, standalone MS-DOS for the most part. However, the WinOldAp module that enables running MS-DOS applications under Windows depends on functionality that was implemented by Cougar, the 32-bit DOS kernel project, and is therefore broken under this copy of the build.

It comes down to using the vim extension and making use of the context it adds when setting key binds. Both in settings and keybind json files you set commands for certain vim modes, or bind native VSCode commands to your leader. Zed does almost the same but with no defined leader key so you just have to be more specific about the command and the context they are executed in.
Very cool, I'll have to keep that in mind next time I'm in need of something similar!
> Do note that the M4 is built on TSMC's 3nm process while the 9950X is built on the relatively older 4nm process.

That helps (perhaps a lot, hard to say), but note that moving your design from 4 nm to 3 nm pitch isn’t as simple as recompiling your Verilog. So this is still a significant engineering achievement.

Apple is chasing a different design point from the desktop folks: low power and optimized more for single core workloads. Works for them but not of course for everyone.

The Mx machines aren’t SoCs in the sense a MediaTek part is: the main chip has a lot of integrated functional units, yes, but so do the Intel and AMD design. They do have multiple dice in a single package though.

Personally I don’t lose any sleep over the non-upgradability of RAM or mass storage. I started computing when you could add instructions by adding wires to the backplane, and later by writing your own microcode; you could build our own IO devices and wire them into the machine. Gradually we have had more and more integration, and RAM and mass storage are just the latest to go…and in exchange we get better performance and reliability.

I don’t hear people complaining that they can’t upgrade their disk drive’s write cache, or CPU’s cache for that matter. This is the way of the world.

Over the last year, we have seen many publications in The New Yorker and The Guardian, even books, titled “Why artificial intelligence is not Intelligent or not Artificial?” that discuss the complexity of calling AI “Artificial Intelligence.”

The human mind still outdoes Chat-gpt, but there are much more advanced systems. What lies beneath the term “intelligence”? Does fearing AI only lead us to use it incorrectly? How can we use AI for our advancement?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a buzzword in today’s technological discourse. The term "AI" has captivated the public and scientific communities alike, but it is essential to critically examine what AI represents.

> Why would you design a system that intentionally destroys data several times internally?

Because it matches the requirements of the domain being modeled.

Most business to business and business to consumer transactions require that amounts are limited to some number of decimal positions (e.g. in US it's 2 decimal positions).

If you create a system document/transaction like an invoice that doesn't adhere to this rule then your software is not properly modeling the domain (i.e. it's a design flaw).

If you decided to leave it unrounded internally, then you are basically storing an incorrect value and delaying the calculation of the correct value until consumption (which is typically hundreds to thousands of consumers).

But what is the gain to storing the wrong value? Nobody wants it and it just complicates the entire system.

There's several problems with that:

1) Most people these days want to live in cities, for good reasons: jobs are there, cultural activities are there, dating opportunities are there (for single people), good schools are there (for married people), etc. An abandoned town won't have any of that.

2) Sure, if a bunch of people moved to an abandoned town and revitalized it, it would be interesting, but how do you coordinate something like that? What are these people going to do for work in the meantime? Are you relying on a bunch of WFH people? And even if 100 WFH people suddenly move to a dying or abandoned town, how do they deal with all the things that aren't ready for them, such as the utilities, or lack of skilled labor to fix problems in their houses, etc.?

Thank You for the Google Spreadsheets. I did my comparison on my Apple Numbers, dont know why it never occurred to me I could do it on Google Spreadsheets and shared it out on the web.

For M1 - M3 the IPC improvement were minimal. Absolute performance came from Node and Clock Speed improvement. And for M4, most of the single core improvement actually came from floating point improvements. If we look into each test results and in terms of Integer I remember last time I checked it was less than 5%. In total, M1 to M4 has less than 10% of IPC improvement in terms of integer performance.

This is not to say I am disappointed or surprised like all others. A lot of the CPU improvement went from A12 to M1 / A14 which was barely showcased by Apple developer toolkit during ARM transition. The ultra wide design which Apple were perfecting for many years before it reached M1, has reached a plateau.

I am now wondering if there could be some other Integer IPC improvement, but judging from M4 we will likely have to wait until 2026 before we see anything new in terms of CPU uArch design.

Yep, same. I replace CFLs and now LEDs about as often as I used to replace incandescents. On the upside they put out less heat. On the downside they cost 10X or more what an incandescent did, making the payoff in electrical energy savings suspect at best, and the quality of the light is worse (subjective).

You would probably enjoy the experience of a small, locally owned coffee shop then. Starbucks is optimizing for their profit. In my suburban city, Starbucks has closed most or all locations that were a few miles from the freeway. They built new locations with drive throughs and very little to no seating within a few blocks of every freeway onramp. This tells you what they are optimizing for.

No no.

The article makes it very clear it's costing them $1 - $2.50 per month to provide, but that they're treating that as marketing/acquisition costs.

And "the cost price" for a free service isn't the cost price for exactly the same service as a subscription service.

As others are pointing out, the risks to them of you assuming you're entitled to something more than their free offering users get - like having them respond to a support or billing query, or feeling entitled to doing term service availability - is problematic enough that it's not likely to be worthwhile.

And at $2 per month, credit card processing eats a big chunk of each payment up front. And it requires setup of the recurring payments and account management, payment reminders and failed recurring billing notification, invoices and tax compliance crap.

And to top all that off there's the fraud risk of people using stolen card numbers or using the service as a small transaction verifier for validating stolen card numbers. When a cardholder disputes a transaction you get hit with a chargeback fee, somewhere between ~$15 and as high as $100 depending on a bunch of stuff. If you don't have decent fraud detection and rate limiting, some asshole who's just bought 1000 credit card numbers off the dark web can make for a _very_ expensive day for you.

And then there's all the internal accounting and reporting they'll need to do for this new class of paying user.

I get what you want to do. But honestly? I can 100% see why most people would refuse to enter into a paid account type relationship with anyone for anything as low as $2/month. Hell, in the last few years Google hseem to have gone from their old price point of $5/month for paid Gmail accounts up to I think $12/month now.
I've noticed students working in the IKEA Cafes here in Australia!

They offer similar benefits to a good sized Starbucks store.

Free charging points, WiFi, bench seating in secluded corners and so on.

Though I'd wager that WiFi is less important, as people have mobile plans with plenty of data.

Given the accommodation crises in Australia, I'd suspect many students dont have a decent place to study in their homes. Many of them are sharing bedrooms etc..

> Residents who fight against density and change aren’t doing it for scarcity or property value.

Yeah, they are. They may not ONLY be fighting for some reasons, but this absolutely one of them.

City in Washington, not the most expensive, but repeatedly very high (double digit percentage) value increases, struggling with density proposes "The Missing Middle" and looks to study how to improve medium density housing (not even huge apartment complexes).

Inevitable question: "What will this do to our property values?"

"The most conservative study shows that we expect property value increases will go from 12.9% YOY to 9.2% YOY."

Holy hell. You'd have thought the city council was executing toddlers and pouring sugar in grandma's gas tanks. As soon as that little trinket came out, everything crumbled. Despite the fact that property values were still looking at increasing nearly 10% a year.

You say all this, but I've also met more than my share of property owners who believe that property should be an appreciating asset, and that that is some form of inalienable or constitutional right, the right to considering their home an asset or "investment" that outperforms the economy significantly.

And I say that as a home owner in that same city as someone who "worked hard to find and build" my quality of life.

From the USDA site:

Q. Why can't we test all beef for BSE safety?

A. BSE tests are not conducted on cuts of meat, but involve taking samples from the brain of a dead animal to see if the infectious agent is present. We know that the earliest point at which current tests can accurately detect BSE is 2-to-3 months before the animal begins to show symptoms. The time between initial infection and the appearance of symptoms is about 5 years. Since most cattle that go to slaughter in the United States are both young and clinically normal, testing all slaughter cattle for BSE might offer misleading assurances of safety to the public.

It is quite unlikely that a regulator will ask you for proof you have a unit test for anything (also, that's not what a unit test is - see [1] for a good summary of why).

It _is_ likely a regulator will ask you to prove that you are developing within the quality assurance framework you have claimed you are, though.

Finally though, logs are not an audit trail, and almost no-one can prove their logs are correct with respect to the state of the system at any given time.
