Back when I did composition for STEM publishers, the one manuscript I got in LyX stands out as the cleanest, and easiest to work with --- added two custom packages:

- first loads some packages and defines all the customization commands to do nothing

- second defines the customization commands and applies the formatting as specified by the publisher

Edit the LaTeX text, add customization commands for shortening/lengthening paragraphs, &c. for balancing pages and tweaking float placement --- make PDF, send to printer, then at the end of the project, comment out the second package line and return the updated source to the author for their next edition.

That said, my current books are being done using:

- GitBook: https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d/2d-drawing

- using Literate Programming completely in lualatex for coding up the OpenPythonSCAD module: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview

- in normal LaTeX (re-setting of a translation of an Old English poem)

and I look forward to a future project working in LyX, since the new 2.4 looks _amazing_.

I used to love The Register, but I sadly haven't seen a good article from them in many years.

Show HN: Taucoder – A Better JPEG Encoder
Hello, HN!

I'm Vidu, a fullstack dev with extensive past experience in image and video coding.
I wrote Taucoder, an image encoding service, in my spare time for fun and possibly
some profit? At the core of taucoder is a novel encoder that outperforms state-of-the
art JPEG encoders by an average 10-18% VMAF BD-rate (see evaluation: https://taucoder.com/doc/evaluation.html)

Thank you for your feedback. I'm in GMT+11 so might not reply immediately.
A pivot that I would be really interested in if you guys were so inclined would be open sourcing the rendering engine you've built.

There is a lot of demand for Figma's close-sourced rendering engine to build tons of different types of tech/apps on top of it (animation engines, svg editors, an adobe illustrator killer, a better drawing/path/curvature tool), that Figma is NOT doing that I'm sure people (myself included) would love to build. But I'm not going to build their rendering engine from scratch—there's a ton of work that went into that and it's why Figma's moat is so big. The OS alternatives are garbage (konva,canvasjs,fabricjs). Paperjs is great but their use case is different.

No offense, I personally think that could be a bigger business than your site generator. Please reach out to me if you guys plan to do so!

Btw, if you guys decide to continue going the site-builder direction—being able to export the HTML is an absolute must.. Let users pay extra for a one-time export, if you must. It's a nightmare trying to get sign off on using something like this if it's a complete walled-garden.

> When I work for someone else, I am offloading some of the risk to that person/owner.

Workers generally risk their lives or simply injury. Owners "risk" capital. I put that in quotes because our government is typically set up to rescue failing businesses and by that I mean bailing out the owners. If the business fails, the owner simply has less money or they have to become a worker.

So who is really taking a risk here?

> When I rent from someone else, I am offloading the risk of owning a property to someone else.

We shouldn't treat housing as an investment vehicle. It is shelter and necessary to live. Every level of government is subordinate to the cause of increasing property prices as society increasingly views housing as a vehicle to build generational wealth.

The majority of housing in vienna is state-owned (so-called "social housing"). Any kind of state housing has been successfuly propagandized as a "slum" ("project") but there's no need for that to happen. The UK, prior to Thatcher coming along and dismantling the whole thing, almost completely got rid of landlords simply by being the buyer of last resort for owners that wante dto sell.

> None of this justifies people making insane amounts of money while others are starving

Our economic system is predicated on withholding basic needs for profit.
>In the case of LLM training, it's for the same purpose as the source material -- to generate code, or writing, or photographs, etc. Not only that, but in several instances it's been shown to reproduce source material, which is either derivative work or straight copying, depending.

If it's used in a reference/"inspiration" capacity (as opposed to verbatim copying), I doubt the rightsholder have anything to stand on here. Sure, their works might have been used to make other competing works, but all art is derivative, and I don't see why it would be legal for a human artist to "train" on past works of art but not AI.

Alleging that AI models can reproduce some works verbatim is probably the stronger argument, but AFAIK you have to coax them pretty hard to do so, and therefore AI companies might be able to argue they're tools like photocopiers or such. Likewise, you can probably extract an entire book off google books by bruteforcing common ngrams to get the entire book, but google wouldn't be held liable for that.

> with the app, nothing happens because it doesn't receive push data from the true bank.

I don't see how that feature matters to a man in the middle attack during logon, since:

1. User opens web browser at a phishing site, which is masquerading as their bank, and starts the login process.

2. Phishing site interacts with bank.

3. Bank sends push-notification to the phone# that's on-file for that user: "Hey, that you logging in right now? Press the Yes button if so."

4. User sees it, expects it, presses the button, and then proceeds to hand over their TOTP and password to the phishing site anyway.

I suppose it might help on a per-transaction basis if the phishing site tries to trigger a hidden transaction, but at that point the app is just a way to streamline: "We sent you a code by SMS, enter that code to confirm the transaction."

If Google has the money and ostensibly pays for everything, then one of the perks for working for Google would be access to said company town. The problem starts when a person gets fired or quits.

Your family gets screwed not only by the loss of a job, but of a house, and corporations will engage in race to the bottom dynamics, so that a leadership generation or two after the wonderful company housing project gets implemented, you have soulless bureaucrats viciously enforcing arbitrary company guidelines and treating humans like so much excrement to be shoveled. Corporations need to be limited, not necessarily in their profits, but in how they're allowed to spend. Spending money to purchase and squash competition, to file egregious lawsuits on dubious IP claims, to acquire and merge and conglomerate ultimately results in the same sorts of non-human creatures ending up with most of the power over almost every aspect of human life.

These corporate entities own all the food, all the media, the platforms, the entertainment, the entertainers, the gadgets, the clothing, etc, etc, etc. It's not that capitalism is bad; it's not. It's that the particular set of rules we're playing by, especially in treating corporations like people, create toxic incentives and dissolute responsibility for acute harms. If you just forced all the corporate homeowners to divest all their properties, you'd be dooming tens of millions to poverty and blowing up the economy in general - they likely knew and intended to invest in something that is 100% critical to the functioning of society such that the government absolutely has no choice but to bail them out if they ever need it. Blackrock isn't doing this because houses are so lucrative and profitable. They're doing it because the consumers are a captive audience with no choice.

We've created these beasts and now we've got to live with them. Thanks, boomers.

What actually happens is a total destruction of misplaced trust in national government and corporate narratives. Their only counter-response is to pay us off to avoid use of AI to undermine them. Otherwise we will turn up the ethnonationalism as well as religious contentions and things people like you dont like will get even worse.

If it's a ten unit building, how can it be anything but corporate ownership? I suppose we could pretend that all ten of the residents could create a co-op and that would be more like a single-family, owner-occupied home. But really, there's got to be a corporation there somewhere.

the hello.com in this article was a huge joke inside of google. it was widely assumed that orkut had some sort of embarassing info about larry that gave him latitude to develop the project (until it was pushed outside). I still remember this was one of the first big memegen traffic drivers- the assets for hello.com were in google3 and were really quite strange. Those assets were turned into meme templates. IIRC the memgen cops eventually deleted the assets, and the project was removed from google3 and hello.com never really went anywhere.
Well, 90% of applications these days are really really bad (LLM-generated spam).

It makes sense, at a base level. Where would the cost of training (and thus the cost of accessing the service, if it got to that point without going bankrupt) be if all copyrighted works had to be paid for? What would the model quality be (and thus the model be worth) if only public domain content could be utilized? The only reasons this is an issue are because they got to the making money point (and ppl don't like seeing money being made if they can't get in in the action), and there are content creators afraid that this thing will make them obsolete (which will be the case for many). Typical clash of interests.

Some employers does some doesn't.
To elaborate on my previous comment: if you want people to be less individualistic and more community-minded, and especially if you want economic organization to be more cooperative, decentralized and bottom-up, then people are going to need to feel a deep sense of buy-in and belonging, and you don't really see that in an undifferentiated mass of atomized "consuming and producing units".

But you do see it among the Amish, and the Basques, and the Boers, and in the kibbutzim, and in families generally, because kin relations are meaningful among humans and elsewhere in the animal world.

And I'm not arguing that "collectivist success requires ethnic purity", just noticing a correlation. Where you see apparent altruism in economics -- including nepotism in hiring -- you tend to find kin relations.

Probably the game theorists and evolutionary psychologists have it figured out.
It is really annoying that more sites don't support multiple security keys, though. As far as I can tell, it's not encouraged by the FIDO Alliance and I can't think of a good technical reason for it.

I wonder if you're fairly compensated by the police department for your time without your vehicle, just because you told the police you don't want to give them access to your Tesla.

Plus the time to go down to the station to pick your car up, because you know they're not going to courier it back to you.

Plus any accidental damage done to the vehicle because an officer/towing company/whoever damages your vehicle during the tow/seizure of your property.

I doubt it.

Tesla should respond by making it harder/impossible for law enforcement to retrieve the data off the drive - maybe encryption at rest only unlockable with your tesla keyfob or phone connection, etc. etc.

Yeah I'd imagine it would have to be a single holding company that has members join, instead of investing for equity.

So as an example you could have hypothetical opensource.coop that funds open source projects like signoz or posthog, giving the team a year of runway in exchange for a cut of future profits, with follow on funding if certain milestones are reached.

Same could work for "indie hackers" or boostrappers, merge a few successful companies into a holding company that shares office space, accounting, legal and etc, and reinvests a fixed % of profits to seed new projects that apply to join.
I agree with your statement. Also, the recent interview with the former Google CEO revealed many things about what AI will be capable of in the upcoming years. If you think about it, it's insane!

With a search warrant, they can. You can be kept out of your home until they complete the search and seizing of the items named in the warrant. Depending on what is being searched for (excavating your basement looking for bodies?) that could take quite some time.

So the Tesla situation getting press isn't because the precedent is new, it's because most Americans (many in this thread included) don't understand what the law has already been since long before Teslas ever existed, and are surprised at what they find.

Maybe if you attach #NoAI next to the content it would be filtered out.

But from a copyright standpoint, unless it regurgitates training data which is rare and only happens with a specific prefix, LLMs should be safe. They are decomposing, recombining, and regenerating language, not copying it. They execute user commands, not imitating any author on purpose.

Say you want to read Harry Potter without paying, would you rather borrow a book or ask chatGPT to regurgitate the original? It would never work well, and be slower and more expensive to use AI. It's not a tool for infringement, it will naturally hallucinate and degrade the original, it can't possibly store a perfect copy of everything it trains on.

In fact LLMs often use 15T tokens for 15B models, so 1000:1 compression ratio, while diffusion models compress 5B text-image pairs into less than 5GB model, so they hold about 1 byte worth of information from each training example if averaged out. There is no space to put all that copyrighted data in a model, it necessarily compresses the hell out of it. Plain old piracy is still 1000x 'better' than infringement by AI.
Farming can mean different things. If you want to eat meat, you can seek out meat from animals that have lead a good life, with all the food and self-actualization they want and no predators. Yeah, they inherently die before you eat them, but the life they lead was a fine one for their species. You can likely find this at a local farmer's market, and won't find it at Walmart. It'll be more expensive, but that's probably just the real cost of meat. If you don't like the sound of that, vegan food is getting better.
