To put it another way: if a popular artist sells a painting for $1m and the IRS assesses they have enough paint to make 1000 paintings over the next 10 years, do they tax the artist on $1bn of unrealised gains?

Do we make them give 20% of their unrealized paint to members of the public so they can make their own paintings, hoping they too will fetch $1m each?

If the IRS took control of 20% of the paint, borrowed against it to fund the state, but then the artist decided to quit does the government somehow force them to paint?

If the artist said this ahead of time and this was priced into the future value of their paintings (now worth $0 because there will be 0 paintings) does the IRS revalue their unrealized gains down to $0bn?

> It's clearly not about the power imbalance and exploitation, because someone genuinely interested in curbing those effects would address them directly. The fact that everyone who claims to care about the destabilizing effects of concentrated wealth immediately goes to "we should take the wealth away" instead of "we should try to figure out why concentrated wealth is destabilizing and address that" is extremely strong evidence that the goal is, actually, to take money from the wealthy.

As someone who thinks wealth inequality is a huge problem in the US - I'm genuinely curious as to what you would propose to address this problem "directly". Because to me, this tax proposal is addressing it directly.
For modern .NET, you don't need to know anything about the legacy terms of Mono, .NET Core, .NET Framework, .NET Standard, etc. All you need is .NET 8 SDK. It's fully-cross platform and installs support for both C# and F#.

For example, just download .NET 8 SDK on whatever platform, which is usually very easy on most platforms, and then run `dotnet fsi` to get into an F# REPL.
If with C# you can create a fully static binary which runs on an empty scratch docker, I will properly consider your opinion. Until then: Go à gogo!

With enough computation, your neural net weights would converge to some very compressed latent representation of the source code of DOOM. Maybe smaller even than the source code itself? Someone in the field could probably correct me on that.

At which point, you effectively would be interpolating in latent space through the source code to actually "render" the game. You'd have an entire latent space computer, with an engine, assets, textures, a software renderer.

With a sufficiently powerful computer, one could imagine what interpolating in this latent space between, say Factorio and TF2 (2 of my favorites). And tweaking this latent space to your liking by conditioning it on any number of gameplay aspects.

This future comes very quickly for subsets of the pipeline, like the very end stage of rendering -- DLSS is already in production, for example. Maybe Nvidia's revenue wraps back to gaming once again, as we all become bolted into a neural metaverse.

God I love that they chose DOOM.
TLDR: No, of course not, that's stupid because taxes are already way too high on income and taxes on assets are extremely bad. We really should break up the monopolies/oligopolies feeding a significant portion of that wealth though.

These articles are always extremely obnoxious because they routinely mix up assets and income and have no idea how taxes actually work ignoring that dividends are already taxed once at the corporate level so it is extremely unfair to compare income tax paid on a dividend to income tax paid on income without looking at income tax paid by the corporation on those earnings and when you do that the total income tax is almost always higher than just earning the dollar as income.

Further, these initiatives distract from policy action that would actually improve the world, substituting policy action that will only grow government and make it even more wasteful without accomplishing much of anything beyond that. We need to stop talking about stealing more from the winners and instead look at how to ensure they are only winning up to the point where market power abuse becomes obvious and then are mitigated (likely through breaking up the company). We should be starting now with breaking up the myriad obvious oligopolies operating today (looking at you fang stocks, various agricultural conglomerates, various retail operations, etc. with large market shares)

It makes good sense for humans to have this ability. If we flip the argument, and see the next frame as a hypothesis for what is expected as the outcome of the current frame, then comparing this "hypothesis" with what is sensed makes it easier to process the differences, rather than the totality of the sensory input.

As Richard Dawkins recently put it in a podcast[1], our genes are great prediction machines, as their continued survival rests on it. Being able to generate a visual prediction fits perfectly with the amount of resources we dedicate to sight.

Ah yes, the "I've never been hacked so I must be secure" argument ;)

Unfortunately, you're not convincing anyone. Amongst the security conscious, multi-year uptimes are the opposite of a brag. And it doesn't matter how you spin it, key-based auth is best practice, as is reducing your attack surface.

It seems that some of these measures are too difficult for you, and that's fine. But trying to argue that the measures are pointless is just false.

This...is already the case. Nothing about LLM architecture is biased towards facts. If they're factual at all, it's only because most things written by people are true (to the best of their knowledge, anyway).

There are certainly attempts to constrain LLMs to be more factual, but we still have a ways to go on those.

> They were already doing censorship, just for different things - there was never a free for all because that eventually ends up like 4chan which is not advertiser-friendly.

It is possible to distinguish between censorship and spam filtering. In the case of censorship, the speaker wants to say something and the listener wants to hear it and the censor prevents this. In the case of spam filtering, the spammer wants to say something and the listener doesn't want to hear it and voluntarily requests that a third party filter it out, with the option to individually disable this filtering.

Now, someone could implement censorship and call it a spam filter, e.g. it filters spam and also disfavored facts and people leave it on because there is only a single on/off toggle and they don't want to be deluged with spam. But what this implies is that a "spam filter" with uncorrectable "false positives" is equivalent to censorship.

In this case I got this link from a newsletter, who presumably have a deal with NYT in that from time to time they are able to offer a special "back door" through the NYT paywall. NYT expects this will increase their paid audience, and the newsletter gets valuable content to increase their own value to their readers so a win-win for them both.

This particular article doesn't render properly through the parent archival site's link, but it does though the link I provided.

Wishing you luck in your crusade against paywalls! Personally I find them annoying but don't see how I can legitimately have an issue with them, it seems like simple capitalism at work.
Not wise to generalise - I'm an HN reader and I do not think "Greenpeace is omnipotent".

I used to be a Greenpeace supporter and would donate to them, even. Then I started to get harassed by their "premium donation agents" and stopped. Over the years, I have realised that they have taken up certain good causes (anti-oil, anti-whaling) but have also been rather misguided (e.g. stop all nuclear rather than argue for realistic-safe nuclear).

My 84-year old father, a retired music professor, has created many fantastic arrangements and transcriptions of orchestra music for wind band. He still uses Sibelius 6, but the publisher that has published some of his work has done complete re-dos using Finale. They have strongly encouraged him to used Finale, calling it the "industry standard." But at his age, the learning curve is so steep he just gets frustrated and goes back to Sibelius.

I wonder what the new "industry standard" will be moving forward. I understand that Dorico was created by the people who originally made Sibelius. I wonder if it's worth trying to get him to experiment with it.
> There were a large body of studies showing that Ivermectin helped with COVID.

Nope. Not now, not then, and not in the absence of parasites.

The early pandemic studies you "recall" were real studies, meta studies that looked at the use of Ivermectin in "the Global South" in countries with high incidence of worms | parasites | etc.

These studies showed a distinct improvement in the face of COVID for treated groups .. eg: those untreated that had parasites and caught COVID Vs. those treated and caught COVID but now had immune responses uncomprimised by parasites.

more recent studies, in G20 type countries,

A Cochrane meta-analysis of 11 eligible trials examining the efficacy of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 published through April 2022 concluded that ivermectin has no beneficial effect for people with COVID-19.1

Since May 2022, an additional 3 large randomized clinical trials including several thousand participants have been published, each reaching a similar conclusion.

Today JAMA publishes a new trial of ivermectin treatment for mild to moderate COVID-19 that addresses the possibility that the existing literature may have missed the efficacy of ivermectin because the previously tested dose (approximately 400 μg/kg daily for 3 days) was insufficient.

At a higher treatment dose (600 μg/kg daily) and longer treatment duration (6 days), Naggie and colleagues again conclude that ivermectin is not beneficial for the treatment of COVID-19.

~ https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2801828

and,

New study shows ivermectin lacks meaningful benefits in COVID-19 treatment (March, 2024)

There are only two types of advice which I find useful nowadays: "The odds of success are extremely low, you need to keep rolling the dice." or "You need to find people who are willing to help you."

Everything else feels like gaslighting because I already tried so many things and clearly that was enough to sent me on an upward trajectory.

But definitely I do sometimes feel like there is a conspiracy because I know quite a few people who were not competent who succeeded... This seems to rule out the 'low probability' scenario. I feel like, in my case, there is an element of being rejected due to obscure 'human' factors that are beyond my understanding.

Color me unsurprised that the New York Times is writing an article drumming up fear around synthetic data and training on the internet, and concludes that the solution is for "A.I. companies to pay for this data instead of scooping it up from the internet, ensuring both human origin and high quality . . . there’s no replacement for the real thing."

This reads like an extended sales pitch rather than an article. It's true that if you train the same model on nothing but a limited set of its own output for 30 epochs, you're gonna get a shitty model (although 30 epochs of finetuning will result in a pretty bad model on most datasets smaller than the original one). But paying the New York Times isn't going to change that: you can already mark articles pulled from its domain as being high-quality, human-sourced data, even if you don't pay them. If they win their lawsuits, they might be able to force model trainers to pay them for it, but that doesn't have anything to do with model collapse.
