Oh I’m well aware of how strict the uk is. However none of those articles you shared are about people getting jail time (most of those cases were likely dropped in fact) and they certainly weren’t recent.

I’m not making generalisations here. The OP made a very specific statement about people being jailed recently for posting online and I’m saying they’ve completely missed the truth behind those actual arrests.

Just as all the subsequent posts yourself and others have made are glossing over the very specific claims the OP made.

I’m not going to argue that I think the UK gets things right with its approach to online content. But the OPs specific claim of people being arrested is missing the bigger story about why they got arrested. And that’s what I’m specifically calling FUD on — not the UKs wider policy. The uk is a shit show for a great many reasons (as a UK citizen I’m not blind to this at all). But that doesn’t mean we should exaggerate the truth for the sake of gaining a little extra karma on HN.

The simple fact is the reason for the recent arrests and jail time is for similar reasons people have been arrested and jailed for online content in the US (yes, it’s happened there too). This isn’t a problem with free speech, it’s actual criminals causing actual physical damage and thus who have broken other laws besides just communicating about it online. Hence my comparison to the Capitol riots.
Spot on. But I think there is also going to be a massive impact on hiring and teams.

This ladies and gents, is where we won't need to hire people. Software 2.0 could use the same infra, rely on 100 different datasets and produce 100 neural nets instead of a 100 teams. Unfortunately they wouldn't have the domain knowledge to understand most of the why or the domain.

More examples of 1.0 that will be things of the past and could transition to 2.0:

- people, entire teams or even companies writing branching logic for IVR (dialers)
- almost all manually curated nocode drag and drop decision trees can be replaced with a NN.
- ranking & sorting algorithms
- prediction
- ux (what to show first)
- product recommendations
- a/b testing
- workflows with a bunch of ifs and branches

2.0 when you think about it is truly nocode. That said we are having a tough time visualising large neural networks. Radar charts work for < 10 weights. Tables are boring. Its time for innovating in visualising 2.0 as well.
80k Euros is not even a rounding error in the budget of the Czech government. The last thing you want is them micromanaging that kind of decision because it would end up costing a lot more and make everyone's life terrible.

Hard to claim it's secret information IMO.
Yes, semi-regularly, I did a fresh update since your message.

To reduce storage size, only the title/link/metadata of latest post from each feed is saved. I run the crawler manually, aiming for weekly, but sometimes less frequently. So this won't catch every post and it lags behind quite a bit. I'm hitting some hosting sites faster than I'd like, especially ones that support custom domain names, so I'm planning on fixing up the rate-limiting strategy before I put it in a daily cron job.

There's a plan for ArchiveTeam to use the RSS feed as another way of discovering blog posts to archive. I don't think it's generally useful to point your feed reader at it as there's quite a diverse collection of content.
This is the best review of GNOME I've ever read.

It is a shame I can't up vote it more than once.
And what's Apple's services revenue off of iCloud?
Is there any plan to offload hosting costs to users repos or do the relays have to bear the cost of images / videos ? It just seems very incongruous to me for a decentralized app to suffer from hugs of death like this link is right now. I actually tried to pull this up on the wayback machine but they seem to have only crawled as far as the butterfly logo ? Is this intentional ? I know that bluesky likes to give users control of where their post ends up, maybe they have asked internet archive not to crawl ? [0]

I liked how urbit did it, just paste s3 bucket credentials into the app settings. A - its pretty cheap even for a terabyte of storage, B - it removes liability from the application not having to host user content, C - it increases decentralization, with many hosts in many jurisdictions able to host content.

EDIT: I went to sign up for a new account and right away I'm given the choice to host content on my own server, neat, I think I'll give this a try [1]

ColdFusion still has a fairly big footprint in Universities and Government.

Well actually that brings up an interesting piece about how the US is structured. I think the reason your police can be more corrupt is because of the federated nature of policing.

Cops are usually only answerable to the mayor of the city (and sometimes the electorate) rather than higher ups in the government. So there is a lack of authority and control there. If they were answerable to politicians and politicians were actually responsible for their actions you could take very firm political actions against those politicians - but in the states nobody in the Cabinet or Government is responsible for law enforcement.

And I understand why this federated system was originally put in place, but this isn't the 1700s. In communication terms the US might as well be Iceland - you can communicate from one end of the land mass to the other instantly, so we don't need to have localized and federated decision making.
Further down the thread I've left some lengthy comments arguing for exactly this.

There are two concerns in defining and maintaining design systems that are (so far) hard or impossible to manage well with vanilla CSS & decoupled styles:

1. Design Token & "swatching" to make integration accessible and maintainable for non-designers
2. Declaration of anything that is neither a concern of this core design system, nor part of explicitly scoped component-styles

Tailwind patches both, and this is the foundation of it's success -- the issue causing any App that relies purely on Tailwind to end up FUBAR beyond a certain scale/complexity, is that the bulk of Tailwind users seem to misappropriate those tools (specially the utility shorthands) to declare ALL the styles.

It's not completely on them either, since Tailwind needs to solve a conundrum: which utilities are meant to be utilities?

Drawing a line while retaining universal applicability is impossible, so Tailwind ended up just wrapping all of the available rules into utilities ... which then requires to extend the syntax to pass design tokens to any of those.

The result is a Framework that originated in trying to provide those 2 missing links, but ended up looking like a complete replacement of CSS.

And since these are precisely the challenges that used to be blockers for anyone whose primary scope is NOT the styling/design layer, and who therefore can't be expected to concern themselves with design system theory or good knowledge of CSS, it quickly ended up in the current ubiquity of UIs getting implemented using a misguided kind of "html style attribute only" paradigm in their entirety -- despite Tailwind originally following a much more nuanced and sensible idea.
The years will tell them everything they need and at all times they’ll be miserable still. Let the guy float in these most important distinctions while they can.
This is excellent. Thanks for sharing. It's always good to go back to the fundamentals. There's another resource that is also quite good: https://jaykmody.com/blog/gpt-from-scratch/
More power to him. He’s making the hard choices and paying a steep price for actually standing for free speech like no other big tech does.
Is it legal to film anywhere? In Sweden filming in public places with fixed equipment (a car counts apparently) is illegal. But on the other hand any evidence is admitted in court, even material obtained while breaking a law. So there has been a few cases where police have caught the person vandalizing the car and also needed to consider whether to fine the owner.
Your comment makes it sound even less appealing since I avoid getting nerd sniped by my hacker mindset and go on to topics that actually interest me
Disclaimer: indifferent at best to musk, probably more dislike than anything else, but not with vitriol.

So I read that this is all because musk refused to appoint a Brazilian citizen as an X representative, as dictated by Brazilian law. I have not verified this part.

Musk refused because the last person to fill that role had all their bank accounts frozen by the judge.

The judge also cut off payments from Brazilian citizens to starlink, something about relating star link to x. so musk said “well then starlink is free for Brazilian citizens because I don’t want to cut people off from their internet connection.” Or something like that.

Edit: blackeyedblitzar child comment of this has better information.
Reading this on an s9! Also great phine6.
Like always this ignores that the space programs live in is not only high dimensional but hyperbolic, meaning the search space for even trivial programs explodes much faster than you'd expect.

Neural networks are best thought of as oracles, simple single purpose tools which can do amazing things impossible with regular software in human time frames, but ultimately limited by the fact there isn't enough bits in the universe to encode enough training data even for medium difficulty tasks.

Put another way, all the LLMs have been trained on every book ever written. If we put a human being on an island with every book ever written and effective immortality we'd have someone a lot more interesting than gpt4 when we came back in a few million years or so.

Someone more versed can say if that is huge or not.
The relevant number is 500,000,000, which is 1000x larger than the number you're citing. But also your comment about subdomains is wrong: redirecting to tumblr.com/my-blog is an optional setting, with the default being to use a subdomain. You can also use custom domains rather than a tumblr.com subdomain. Tumblr has had this functionality for almost its entire existence.

When I just came to the US, I had a very romantic about the notion of traveling America by train. I mean, planes are fine, they are fast, they are convenient, but there's some sterile efficiency to them that makes the notion of going by train and enjoying spectacular views much more attractive when your goal is to enjoy the ride and not just get from point A to point B.

Unfortunately, the first trip on Amtrack quickly put down all my illusions. Not only was it hugely expensive for quite a crammed and uncomfortable cabin (and I traveled Soviet trains - somehow Amtrack managed to get theirs even less comfortable!), the rest of the experience was not that great too. The decor was old and shabby, the food was a huge disappointment too (I know it's hard to get good food into a plane, but the train is not supposed to have this problem?) and while there were some spectacular views, I've seen a lot more industrial warehouses and heavy equipment storage than I'd enjoy. So, the trip was quite a disappointment to me. From then on, it's either driving - when I can choose my own adventures - or flying, where I am getting to the point quickly and can have fun at the destination point instead.
80K euro might sound like a lot until you realise it is around the combined annual salary for two mid-level employees in Western Europe, and for about a team of four to five in Eastern Europe.

To ask a team of designers to do brand and marketing research and design a new logo for a big organisation that will use said logo everywhere is not a 1K euro freelancer job.

To be fair, the new logo is a bit crap, but in the grand scheme of things, 80K is not a lot at all.
I don't understand the question. We are talking about the way it in fact works. I'm guessing that nobody at the FAA or FCC has any misunderstanding regarding this fact.

Also phones don't meaningfully actually interfere with modern avionics. If your safety on the flight actually depended on hundreds of people clicking a button consistently every time the majority of planes wouldn't make it.
Trying to make a simple hardware device a subscription product is disgustingly greedy.

If this ever becomes real, I predict the service is cancelled shortly after launch, and all those forever mice instantly become e-waste.
The people utilizing this strategy are consuming on the order of .1% of their wealth a year. They face effectively zero risk of default or liquidation because theyre not taking a loan against half their portfolio.
Frankly I'd rather just get a ticket when I speed by a traffic camera than rely on the discretion of a random police officer who might just be looking for a pretense to search my vehicle or hassle me in some other way.
Whether they're bailed out or not has nothing to do with rent going down. Unless the tenants own it, or the government subsidies it, the cost will pretty much be the same or higher. Even if the new owner gets it at a discount, the taxes higher rates, desire for profit, and overhead will still put it in a similar price range.

Agreed I have had the s10+ for 3-4 years, and the only reason why I bought a new one was the lack of updates, otherwise I would have probably put in a new battery instead of buying a new phone.
OpenAI has a few examples of image output being produced directly by the GPT-4o checkpoint they have.

It depends if they need money or not, Google has not publish a single image generator that is not a demo.
Huh? Isn't the more obvious reason for the lack of releases is that... they have nothing to release?

Copying over my latest backend status update; figure folks would find it interesting

Servers are holding up so far! Fortunately we were overprovisioned. If we hit 4mm new signups then things should get interesting. We did have some degradations (user handles entering an invalid state, event-stream crashed a couple times, algo crashed a couple times, image servers hit bad latencies) but we managed to avoid a full outage.

We use an event-sourcing model which is: K/V database for primary storage (actually sqlite), into a golang event stream, then into scylladb for computed views. Various separate services for search, algorithms, and images. Hybrid on-prem & cloud. There are ~20 of the k/v servers, 1 event-stream, 2 scylla clusters (I believe).

The event-stream crash would cause the application to stop making progress on ingesting events, but we still got the writes, so you'd see eg likes failing to increment the counter but then magically taking effect 60 seconds later. Since the scylla cluster and the KV stores stayed online, we avoided a full outage.
In order to get value out of Tailwind, you need to be using a templating language that lets you create reusable components. So in this way, you are not repeating the 7 classes each time you need a card, but just using the component.

This is also makes "zombie CSS" a thing of the past, since the resultant CSS file that tailwind generates is based solely on what is in use.
That same problem exists everytime your model served from a third-party is optimized/lobotomized. Only and offline model guarantees this wont happen.

Hopefully the growth of Bluesky doesn't get crazy. It's handy for Twitter to keep the eternal September types in a sort of quarantine. Grandparents on Facebook, culture wars and spam/scams/porn on Twitter.

It's best if there's no single monolithic "winner" in the exodus from Twitter because that community would descend into the same patterns of stupidity that are unavoidable past a certain community size.

The next phase of social media should be about community affinity and quality, not size.

> Are there genuine at scale use cases for AI outside of LLM's

Assuming that "outside of LLMs" means "outside of text processing".

Yes. Robotics. Imitation learning with LLMs is working surprisingly well. It will require a lot of investments in data and training to get to a practical state, but all the early signs point that new revenue streams will be unlocked in Robotics.

One limitation that still stands on the way is the inference speed. My estimate is that we need ~10k tokens/sec prompt processing speed to get these smart robots working reasonably fast. We're getting there for 8B models (Groq & Cerebras silicon), but these 8B models are too dumb (especially, after being finetuned on robotics data), and 70B models are still 20x slower than practical.
I've run into this "Compromised site" issue before, and it can be a real headache. It's usually due to some security vulnerability that Google is picking up on. I’d recommend scanning your site with a good security tool to make sure there’s nothing unusual going on.

Everywhere Means Nowhere – Seneca On Reading
Why not just come to a full stop? It's presumably dark out at 3am so you may have missed a pedestrian or a vehicle with no headlights. It only takes an extra second or two to stop and look around.
GPUs are scarce, expensive and in high demand. Devs are cheap compared to the expense of training a huge model. If Cerebras or some other hardware company develops a viable competitor to the H100, it doesn't matter if the ISA is 36-bit VLIW documented in Vedic Sanskrit, they'll have infinite demand.
So the first thing is the meta learning. Looking at companies like Valve and Wolfram, they provide a template of another way of running companies which seem to consistently produce the best kind of software and incredible wealth for all those involved. The two things you look for when running a software company.

Next, Stephen livestreams his day to day as a CEO. This is so significant. I know the HN trope which dang warned about earlier, but I actually love it. Imagine if you could get detailed logs about how Steve Jobs lived his life. Not from books others write about him and make up fake stuff to make it sell more, but straight from the horse's mouth as they say. That is what his meticulous logs and streams of his life provides.

Gabe Newell of course does much less of this, but he still has some incredible videos which go so in depth in how he runs the business and what he thinks about.

Look, we are nerds. To learn business, we go online and try to piece together information. For example, I know for a fact a bunch of YC companies (both in this batch and earlier) have fallen for scammers like Alex Hormozi because he has a massive Youtube presence and just spews nonsense which sounds like it should make sense.

So in that world, to learn as close to first hand from people who actually run some of the biggest and most interesting business on the planet is just incredible.

Extend and pretend is the name of the game. If the lender triggers a default they will be stuck with the property and have to take the large balance sheet loss. Its generally better for them to pretend everything is fine until the property owner cant make the payment and even then its usually better to renegotiate than it is to take the hit. There isnt a clearing mechanism that would force the loss to occur and the property to resell at new market value.

Thats really the danger of low rates, it slows down market clearing forces and allows zombie companies to persist for a very long time.

The bad crawl for internet archive is because it's a giant SPA. It's a react native codebase which, while irritating for web users, allows us to target all the platforms without building multiple apps. Kind of a life-saver.

Relays actually don't process media; that's up to the applications. We intentionally keep the repo-hosting costs low (and they'll get lower soon) so that self-hosting your data and keypairs remains affordable. Think of the application model as equivalent to a search engine, with the repo-hosts (PDSes) being web servers. That's almost exactly how it works.

The only way decentralization would make a hug of death irrelevant is if the individual nodes weren't processing the full network, in which case you're not getting the global social experience, so.
>Logitech rolling this out, and reducing the quality of their non-subscription product

I bought a Chinese-brand trackball mouse to replace my Logitech M570. It cost less than Logitech's new version (M575), and I can't tell the difference. I'm not really sure what Logitech is offering here. I can always get a cheaper version of whatever Logitech offers, and it's probably made by the same Chinese manufacturer
>why don't they assign it as a project to the students

Damn straight, and they should do the same thing with their website. And while we are at it, they could use the students to design and engineer their buildings and do their accounting and lawyering and administration.

Hell, while we are at it, why not get them to do the teaching as well?
