This resonates with me, but also I don’t want to presume too much about the value of the old ways of doing things. AI tools are going to drastically lower the bar of entry to programming, so it will be flooded with dilettantes, but people who can think will still apply their thinking in creative ways. It will be really interesting what happens as AI tools mature and a generation of AI-native developers figures out how to maximize them.
> Bogus criteria. So being around people who are natural at doing it is annoying.

Annoyance is a far cry from fear, and you used the word “safe”. While there are people who have good reason to fear those who misgender them (those who do so on purpose and are threatening to them because of it) I haven’t quite seen the case for the reverse.

Every group has annoying extremist people and it’s understandable to want to avoid those, but judging a whole community on account of some outliers on a bad day does not seem fair.

> Expressing your gender identity signals that you consider it to be significant.

Not necessarily. It seems to be more common to see people doing so in solidarity, basically to signal “if you’re the type of person to whom this is important but are afraid to say so, this is somewhere where you can be safe from aggression”.

Worth noting that “gender identity can correlate with a person's assigned sex or can differ from it” so most people express their gender identity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_identity

> Pronouns and names are easy. It's not easy dealing with whatever weird ideas of masculinity and femininity some people come with.

This person was non-binary, which is why they used the pronouns fluidly.

I don’t see why considering masculinity and femininity to exist on a spectrum is weirder than thinking there’s a hard line. And why do you have to “deal with” it? I’m struggling to understand that part. Every person is different anyway, there are women who do not wear makeup and men who do not like sports, it’s much simpler to not ascribe any behaviour to a gender.

> Especially if your world is not as pink/blue split as theirs.

While they were good natured, I wouldn’t classify their world in those colours. At the time I met them they were in fact quite fearful for the results of an election in their country. The kind of election were some people would treat them as subhuman.

> I think this would be a non-issue if gendered people had more awareness that gender is a) culturally local and b) not everyone does it.

Now I’m curious again. Since you’re presumably talking about other people, are you saying that you don’t consider yourself to be gendered or have a gender yourself? That is interesting to me. I invite you to share more on it, I’m not sure what question to ask yet and wouldn’t want to make you uncomfortable.
YT Music has music as a first class entity where Youtube itself does not and cannot, so it has features like related music, "radio" playlists based off a track, music recommendations, playlist generation, artist pages with a top 10 song list, and other features you expect from its competitors.

Rebranded is more apt. It’s still iTunes.
Wouldn’t this also imply a lack of Turing completeness, and thus not be good for general purpose computing?
> "Similar to our present age where the well off can afford to allocate resources for their preschoolers that the less well off simply don't have."

A talking point endlessly repeated by those trying to push an agenda but those of us who climbed the ranks from poverty because the children of the well off chose not take advantage of the privilege they had and instead chose to be indolent would beg to differ. Meritocracy is alive and well, thank you very much.
Yes, and that is used as an example for the general point: a network transparent API doesn’t help us understand the network when it inevitably fails.
Licensing. Common Crawl could change the license of how the data it produces is used.

Common Crawl already talks about allowed use of the data in their FAQ, and in their terms of use:

https://commoncrawl.org/terms-of-use/

While this doesn't currently discuss AI, they could. This would allow non-AI downstream consumers to not be penalized.
Seems rather heavy-handed. I think you can, like, get better Zoom meeting without traveling 10 hours a week and using Zoom at a different computer.
Getting mugged or held-up are very different things from being raped, particularly for something like $20, and it's a problem that you and others conflate them as if they aren't.

As for the relative stress of high-value white collar crime versus low-value "violent" (I put that in quotes because many of these crimes only involve threats, and sometimes even no contact between parties, e.g., pick-pocketing)... Yes, it sucks to feel violated or to be injured. That's on a completely different level from the all-encompassing, debilitating effects on one's life that not being able to pay for food or medical treatment, or getting kicked out of your home, or living in a culture of hopelessness that actually encourages violent crime, has. All are effects of the unfettered economic corruption in this country. White-collar crime is WAY worse, and further, fixing it often goes a long way towards ALSO fixing violent crime.

Again: priorities.
Many services that power https://videotap.com/ have recently been rewritten with the help of AI.

Recently I used Cody to rebuild the entire video processing pipeline and made it much more efficient and scalable, and I actually learned a ton about ffmpeg by pair programming with the AI. Now I'm building additional features into this app, mostly w/ just iterative prompting or chat-oriented programming to replace 3rd party services that are still in this pipeline and it's been a blast.

I've also used AI tools to really brush up on frameworks, like Laravel, that I haven't touched in a while, and it's been a great experience. Also started building a game w/ Godot and found AI super helpful there in walking me step by step. So for me it's been great.

The main difference is that YT Music has different audio tracks than what comes from the videos in many cases (you can hear a difference when you click the "video" link in YT Music app, vs the Audio only). The audio only version is cleaner, and I think is more likely to come from an official source instead of an end user upload. And there are a lot more selection on YT Music (playing full albums, etc).

People playing music (through all sorts of non-vocal means) is still a very human experience, though. And it's not like performing vocal music is confined to humans. Plenty of machines can sing in the sense of reproducing songs using a speaker that successfully emulates the voice (the word "play" is more common than "sing" in this case, but let's bend the rules), so anthropomorphizing would make far more sense if those weren't ubiquitous.

I guess there have been cases, from time to time, where someone is so good at guitar that they "make it sing"... But this mower doesn't deserve that!
waho, didn't know ! Thanks for explaining.
As an actual content provider I see this as an opportunity. We pay our journalists real money to write real stories. If AI results haven't started affecting our search traffic they will start to soon. Up until now we've had two choices: block AI-based crawlers and fall completely out of that market, or continue to let AI companies train off of our hard-won content and take it as a loss that still generates a little bit of traffic. Cloudflare now offers a third option if we can figure out how to use it.

Dissing on Cloudflare is the new thing, and I get it. They're big and powerful and they influence a massive amount of the traffic on the web. Like the saying goes though, don't blame the player, blame the game. Ask yourself if you'd rather have Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon or Apple in their place, because probably one of them would be.
They are probably referring to IME in Intel and PSP in AMD.

They are essentially blackboxes that have control over everything in our PCs and nobody including the OS has any visibility into what they do under the hood.

MD5 Collision Demo How-To
If you reduce the pixel size enough, it becomes a general purpose display technique and has no distinctive look to it. It blurs together into an average value, microscopically. A few display technologies, mostly monochromatic, actually work like this. Laser printers are an example. Generally, they are monochromatic (or quadchromatic) devices. On or off. All output is dithered. But at high resolutions like 600 dpi or more, a fine grid pattern produces a solid grey on paper.

Will call you old fashioned for that. I recently went to a restaurant with a large group of friends and they used toast tab for online ordering. The experience was much better than ordering in person. Each family was able to order and pay for themselves. We could add extra items to our order whenever we wanted.

Without the app I would've had to keep an eye for a roaming waiter, call them out and then place an order. This takes away from the dining experience. I also don't like to wait for the server to clear plates, take the card, swipe it and get it back. The old fashioned ways will disappear for good.

I'm skeptical of some of the claims about technological innovation being higher during periods of fragmentation. Correlation doesn't equal causation - there could be other factors at play. Still, an intriguing hypothesis worth exploring further.
I only have partial information here - and that is that I’ve heard connectivity is generally much cheaper in the EU. And I can see why too: denser population, smaller distances between population centres, close to other continents.

But I’d be interested in any other reasons people can give.

Ask HN: How do I sell unique training data?
We have all seen the recent large deals made by tech companies to purchase access to various types of data for training their models (or Reddit, Photobucket). I have also seen some articles about the industry’s ever growing need for unique media and data that seem to suggest the existence of a market and brokers in need of new sources that are not online. They seem willing to pay, but I don’t see an obvious way to sell.

I believe I have access to troves that have never and will never be online. Some quick research has not turned up any obvious marketplace online or who to talk to.

Is anyone here in this business or have any advice or resources for people like me who want to explore offering training data for sale or license?

It sounds like you're "just-so"ing a broken system that doesn't actually seem to be in the process of reforming (including implementing retroactive re-sentencing), and understating the role of the conditions such prisoners find themselves in in creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of re-offense. Ironically, you are kidding yourself, as to the defensibility of any part of this.

Not an Apple fan myself (don't touch the stuff at all) but my first thought there would be to check if the "missing" fixes are for things broken in the new release that don't need fixing in the prior one.

Are these stock builds, so definitely have the problems you are concerned about, or could there be security updates backported as Debian do with older versions in their stable release?
I love this design. And this particular design and application highlights one neat property about 3D printing at home: you could have an open source design that is easily tailored to the end user's phone case (of which there are endless variations) and their personal everyday-carry pocket items.
Either AI training is fair use or it isn't. If it's fair use then businesses shouldn't get a say in whether the data can be used for it. If it isn't, then the answer to your question is copyright law.

Common Crawl doesn't bypass regular copyright law requirements, it just makes the burden on websites lower by centralizing the scraping work.

Contrary to popular belief, the original Keju (imperial exam) wasn't designed to select talented folks from commoners, but rather a royal ranking system to reduce the voilent political fights between noble houses during the Great DEI era of Wei-Jin-Northern-Southern states, when lots of deadly racial conflicts happenning in east asia for centuries.

You can. It adds a lot of work! It's surprisingly tough to sand. And sanding makes it look bad, so you end up having to use filler primer and/or bondo, then more sanding, and more painting. Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTE9bJyUO_8

Drones emit all sorts of beeps and tones using the brushless motors but I'm not entirely certain by what mechanism the motor controllers accomplish it. The motors aren't spinning when they emit a tone but they do twitch/move so I assume its some sort of back and forth vibration.
The simple answer is that product managers are not asking for quality. They're asking for cards/stories to be completed. "Quality" has been redefined as "meets requirements" or "passes UAT." Actual quality is just not in anyone's KPIs or OKRs.

That's why it's way easier for indie developers to deliver high-quality software—their incentives are directly aligned with the user.
The risk of getting sued prevents companies from using pirated software.

The big players might just pay the fee because they might one day need to prove where they got the data from.

> Now the execution of both sides of a branch is basis for the 'Specter' side-channel attack. Access restricted data in the false branch, data access still happen even though it was restricted.

By all accounts of Spectre I've seen, the processor never tries to speculate both sides of the branch. Instead, it always predicts one side of the branch, and speculatively executes that side only: when it later turns out to have been a misprediction, it rolls back the speculative execution, and proceeds to execute the other side from scratch. Both sides are executed at some point, but not simultaneously.

The website owner chooses. They can say "nope" in robots.txt. Not everyone respects this, but Google does. Google can choose not to show that site as a result, if they want to.

This adds a third option besides yes and no, which is "here's my price". Also, because cloudflare is involved, bots that just ignore a "nope" might find their lives a bit harder.
This is really great. Managing migrations without locking the table can be a real huge pain-point. And having a dedicated project likely covers more edge cases than an internal tool would (as is evident looking at the issues list).

With that said, it looks like it could be used not just as a stand alone tool but also embedded within a Go application since it does export its API. In my case I'd love to use it from my existing tooling. I couldn't find any documentation on how to do that, though.

I'll probably dig more into that later.

The process is derived from PDCA (plan, do, check, act), which you might find more freeing.

The beauty of PDCA is that it is an adaptive framework. Meaning how it’s applied to my team will be different than your team. That’s a healthy development that relates to the fact that different people will work together differently. (side note: agile is often used as a synonym with pdca and it can confuse thing bc Agile tm is what a lot of people have bad experiences with)

RAM and what GPU you have are big determinants of how fast it will run, and how smart a model you can run. A large amount of RAM and GPU memory is required for larger models without significant slowdown because its much faster if it can keep the entire model in memory. Small models range from 3-8 gigabytes, but a 70B parameter model will be 30-50 gigabytes.

I don't know that there's anything different about ours, but that's a shame.

The difference (broad-brushing here) between someone who is a dev because that's their passion and someone who is a dev for the pay is the quality of their work. As our industry matured and gathered more "in it for the money" types, the overall product quality has been declining.

I think that's a shame. Perhaps inevitable, but a shame nonetheless.
