>It's usually a combination of playing in a weird way and having some insight that the maker of the game (the oddsmaker) didn't see

Apparently exactly this. The people that I knew where always discussing the fitness of certain players and how that'd impact the game and stuff like that. Though it could've also been that they were on a long long lucky streak, because they minimized the risk with such considerations. At least t hey were not ruining their own lives
Correct. A method to extract a pointer from an array already exists:

int *p = &arr[0];

The mistake is to allow this:

int *p = arr;
The proper response would be a suit to enforce a trademark, not an explosion of articles, interviews, shutdown of network access and demands for money paid to a private company in order to prevent the explosion.

I think the difference is people on HN are using these "AI" tools as coding assistance. For which, if you know what you're doing, they are pretty useful. They save trips to stack overflow or documentation diving and can spit out code that often is less time to fix/customize than it would have been to write. Cool.

A lot of the rest of the world are using it for other things. And at these other things, the results are less impressive. If you've had to correct a family member who got the wrong idea from whatever chat bot they asked, if you've ever had to point out the trash writing in an email someone just trusted AI to write on their behalf before it got sent to someone that mattered, or if you've ever just spent any amount of time on twitter with grok users, you should be exceptionally and profoundly aware of how unimpressive AI is for the rest of the world.

I feel we need less people complaining about the skepticism on HN and more people who understand these skeptics that hang out here already know how wonderful a productivity boost you're getting from the thing they're rightly skeptical about. Countering with "But my code productivity is up!" is next to useless information on this site.
That was also specifically about a donor-advised fund, which is different than a nonprofit corporation. Elon Musk's tort would be something like "fraud in the inducement" or some weird theory like that not for a breach of fiduciary duty.
That anarchic mosh pit of silliness is unfortunately very vulnerable to manipulation by extremist groups or nation states.
You could compose a message using multiple words in the text. It does mean your vocabulary is limited and jargon terms may not be available, but with some cleverness you can probably get your message across. If the exact spelling of a message is necessary, you could also design your cipher to use the first letter of the word instead.
Thanks for the rec, I'll check it out!
I have a feeling Kevin would not agree with that interpretation. He's not a cynical person.
Yet another post from someone who didn't understand open source, and now does. We've seen these posts for well over a decade - why did people assume otherwise?

Open source is just fine. Your expectations around it were not.

I'm not sure how relevant that is at this stage. Not loo long ago I read that OpenAI had ~$2B revenue, but are still losing money.

At this point I'd say this is a faith investment that either LLM/GenAI use is going to explode, and OpenAI is going to get a significant share of that, or that OpenAI will achieve a much more powerful and valuable AGI.

It seems corporate evaluation/adoption of GenAI is still early stages, and not at all clear who the winners are going to be if there is a lot of revenue forthcoming. How does OpenAI complete with free models from Meta, or open source ones, or pricing strategies from giants like Microsoft, Google and Amazon?

Of those countries where geography precludes easy imports from competent neighbors, is there any which has generally had lower-functioning government over the past half-ish century?
People pointing out problems are not obligated to provide solutions. I don't know where this idea comes from, but it's just wrong.

If there was a solution to this problem from the search engine's point of view 5 years ago, which I do not stipulate but let's roll with it, there isn't one now. ChatGPT can overcome basically all detection techniques when combined with the current amount of efforts already largely successfully avoiding detection, and it will continue to get better. There are no signals for random unattested web content that will separate what we want from stuff constructed to look like what we want but with embedded motivations or content we don't.

A web of trust may be inevitable, but it's not like that can't be attacked either, especially past the first hop. It seems inevitable that slowly but very surely our trust is going to get pulled in much, much more tightly than it is now. I don't see much that can be done about that, even in theory. It was a historical accident that we ever could trust random websites to not be 100% focused on their own interests, simply because the tech to do that wasn't there yet. Now it is, and we will be entering a world where we can not trust any free resources, whether we like it or not.

Web apps require a ton of boilerplate. Almost every successful web framework uses at least one type of metaprogramming, many have more than one (reflection + codegen).

I’d argue web frameworks don’t even help a lot in this regard still. They pile on more concepts to the leaky abstractions of the web. They’re written by people that love the web, and this is a problem because they’re reluctant to hide any of the details just in case you need to get to them.

Coworker argued that webdev fundamentally opposes abstraction, which I think is correct. It certainly explains the mountains of code involved.
TIL. That said, I hadn't anticipated much rational in Prohibition rationale. The thread did support my suspicion that grappa hangovers are their own special category of hell though!
Who said anything about servers? This mostly affects consumer devices. If this was a windows installation, I'm not sure the same "skill issue" argument would be popping up. A normal person just installs their OS and uses it. They don't know the intricacies of CUPS, the implications of using 0.0.0.0 or how to set up a firewall in a way that would prevent this from happening. Hell, even tons of people on HN make the mistake of just checking their TCP ports when discussing this issue (when it's UDP), or don't check for the right cups package. So imagine everyone else?
Gaslight all you want (few believe it anymore). You can see deleted comments yourself but chose to omit that from your reply. Maybe everyone deleted their comments at once? And it was removed from the front page after it was getting upvotes - you moved it from the front page within a few minutes. Gaslight away, wonder how that will scale

I think it's fairly common that people keep/collect/hoard stuff against a future lifestyle that they eventually realize that they don't even want. When my dad was clearing out a former house for an estate sale, I definitely took too much stuff against a day when I would have formal dinner parties like my parents did--but, of course, never did.

> as anyone who stopped heading into an office four years ago can attest, productivity (typically) falls in remote environments

Hard disagree. I have worked remote 2000-2003 and during the pandemic. Both periods were high productivity for me. If you work for a large company, you have in effect many remote co-workers any way. I don't have any direct co-workers in my office, I perform exactly the same actions from home or the office. Well, I don't wear noise cancelling headphones at home the ventilation is quieter.

Anyway, this article starts from a false premise. Any true conclusions are mere coincidence.
This is partially why I began to look at source available more: https://gavinhoward.com/2023/12/is-source-available-really-t... . And what I found is that source available can still be good for end users, leaving us most of the four freedoms, including control, while discouraging dealers.

I'm not a lawyer, but severability clauses are generally a thing when needed, both in contracts and in laws. As I understand it, courts are also reluctant to strike down an entire law or contract if the entire thing is not what is being challenged. Answering a question of law outside the bounds of the question the parties are asking the Court to answer is called an "advisory opinion," and illegal in many jurisdictions.
I'd say it's probably survivor's bias. Bad books from the pre 70s are probably forgotten and no longer printed.

Old books that we're still printing and are still talking about have stood the test of time. It doesn't mean that are no great recent books.
It is interesting how otherwise smart, talented people rationalise the donation of their labour to an entitled majority who have no idea about or interest in the person or motivation behind the work. Who cares right? Just keep the free shit coming.

Eh, I never considered the Underscored sites to be a part of the main site anyway. I just think of them as “Outbrain”-type subsites.

This just confirms it.

I feel the title of the blog entry is maybe a bit “extreme,” but it does show some well-done sleuthing.

Media companies have had to drastically change their business models, lately, and this is just another part of it.
> Saying no still takes time and in a popular project I'm sure it's exhausting.

Compared to the alternative of saying "Yes", at least it takes less time :)

> You're free to not respond or read requests at all.

Absolutely! GitHub kind of ruins this by not allowing us to turn of Issues/Pull Requests (not sure which one you cannot disable, but one of them), but ignoring is a valid strategy too.
Assuming this isn't sarcasm... I would be very careful about banning or even dismissing anything that has been popular for thousands of years.
All the sovereign wealth funds of the entire Arab Gulf hold less than $3 trillion, saved over decades. And mostly illiquid assets where you can get a 20-30% haircut if you liquidate quickly. Even if they wanted to, they can't even give him $100b/yr for 10 years (i.e., $1 trillion). It's just not feasible or possible. They don't have it anywhere.
I love gambling. I go to Vegas 4-6 times per year, and I play poker at the local casinos/card houses almost every week.

I've NEVER liked sports gambling because it's so hard to predict and I also believe that it's rigged by Vegas and the Mafia. The NBA has already been outed as rigged via referees and the insane actions of refs in last year's Super Bowl by ignoring obvious penalties makes it even worse. The games are obviously tainted as this point. And the fact that none of the leagues want to implement rules that correct wrong penalties only solidifies the fact that they want these things to occur.

> Unfortunately, the internet is running a bit short on well-intentioned people

The haters on this thread including you are not "well-intentioned" so I guess you have a point. Nobody makes you act this way though. It's largely regional/age-based too. There are many millions of people who don't act like the typical Reddit/HN armchair expert and aren't drawing swastikas in YouTube live chats. And there are easy ways of filtering out genuine spam.

HN/Reddit "spam filters" goes far beyond filtering spam to restrict any opinion they don't like. An approach I think is far worse for the internet than whatever you're referring to.
"Get."
>Yeah, but he’s good at it, though. That’s the amazing thing. It’s really obvious to everyone what he’s doing, and yet he still manages to pull it off, repeatedly.

Is it "amazing"? Or is it just that everything he does is technically legal, and he has enough wealth behind him that is hoping for even more wealth that nobody really gives a shit about ethics?
The really sad part is that they could even use that same technology for good AND profit. If it's true that (for example) the facebook algorithm knows if someone is depressed, people would pay real money for the algorithm to shape their behavior and mood for the better.

I agree "Garage" isn't the right phrase but what really matters is owning something to (or having autonomy to) attach a charger near where you park.

I guess "Garage" is just shorthand for owning a single family home.

It's disclosed on a banner across the top of literally every cnn-uncensored page that's being 'outed' here. He could have saved the entire research/dig by simply screenshotting the top of any of the pages. That wouldn't have the same energy or 'Ahah!' though.
> Open source is how software developers are conditioned and socialized into participating in their own exploitation under capitalism.

Feel free to expand on this, as I don't understand how putting a MIT license on my projects contribute to "my own exploitation under capitalism", and I'd generally call myself an anti-capitalist so I'm missing something here.

What do you think of Zed?
Thank you, you've stated this all very clearly. I've been thinking about this in terms of "doing work", where you care about the results, and "performing work", where you care about how you are evaluated. I know someone who works in a lab, and pointed out that some of the equipment being used was out of spec and under-serviced to the point that it was essentially a random number generator. Caring about this is "doing work". However, pointing it out made that person the enemy of the greater cohort that was "performing work". The results were not important to them, their metrics about units of work completed was. I see this pattern frequently. And it's hard to say those "performing work" are wrong. "Performing" is rewarded, "doing" is punished - Perhaps right to the top, as many companies are involved in a public performance designed to affect the short-term stock price.
I may have had that same zenith tv. In my town we had 2 channels that did anything with it. One was basically a static summary of whatever was on. The other was pretty cool with stocks and weather and news. But mid 90s they turned it off. Never tried TBS. Guess I should have.
No, you're literally buying an entry ticket. If you were buying an experience, you could sue because the beer was not to your taste.
this attitude is so ridiculously disingenuous. Surely if a computer can score incredibly well on math olympiad questions, among other things, "a computer can make plausible-looking but incorrect sentences" is dismissive at best.

I have no idea about AGI but honestly how can you use claude or chatgpt and come away unimpressed? It's like looking at spaceX and saying golly the space winter is going to be harsh because they haven't gotten to Mars yet.
The underlying is one thing and the overlying another thing. It's one thing to not declare your money and thus be tried for tax evasion only, and another thing putting said money in financial tricks (as we both know that's the only goal of mixers) in order to commit tax evasion. If you want, think like the difference between murder and manslaughter - which also have many degrees and associated crimes like assault, arson, rape... we always try for those as well.
So what should I buy instead?
I've started saving web pages, since several of my favorite websites went offline, and some even self-deleted from WayBack Machine.

Elections are all about turnout. Hence, election campaigns mostly aren't about convincing the undecided. They're mostly about motivating and energizing your voters to show up on election day (get out the vote!), and demoralizing and confusing the other side's voters to stay home (you're principled, but your candidate is un-yoursidesian and cannot be trusted).
SSDs are great. Quieter, can be denser, faster, available in small sizes for small money, more reliable, etc.

But they're not great for low cost bulk storage. If you're putting together a home NAS, you probably want to do well on $/TB and don't care so much about transfer speeds.

But if you've found 10TB+ ssds for under $200, let us know where to find them.

When my dad died, he had accumulated hundreds of tapes of movies from cable. What was I to do with them? I didn't want to watch them, and selling them would have violated copyright laws. I wasn't going to go erase them to try to sell blank tapes which had little value.

Can you share a link? I haven't been able to find that. A prohibition on contributions seems like a bad policy, because at some point WP Engine will want a change in Core and they need the political capital to make that happen.
LLMs are great to go from 0 to 2b but you wanted to go to 1 so you remove and modify lots of things, get back to 1 and then go to 2.

Lots of people are terrible at going from 0 to 1 in any project. Me included. LLMs helped me a lot solving this issue. It is so much easier to iterate over something.

I hope you do. I know it's easy to just crap on someone's ideas, but I'm really trying not to do that. I think it's a great idea to learn from what came before, because if anything's going to succeed it is almost certainly going to be at least a little different than what someone else tried. Sometimes it can be the smallest difference that decides the matter. I wish you the best of luck in your explorations.

The number of times I've had to practically kidnap some brilliant engineer and take them to an arcade or a bowling alley or someplace like that to make them stop sitting all day at their desk trying to think past some hard problem they were stuck on suggests that it is not as well known as it should be.
