But you were there first. That gives you all of a first mover’s advantages plus the profits from that period to set the terms of the market sharing.

None of this requires winner-takes-all economics. And given OpenAI’s revenues, it’s unclear they need to be the sole winner to make an investment thesis work.
I’m sure people have asked this before, but would HN ever add a little more rich-text? Even just bullet points and indents might be nice.
In summary, while both Nextpart AI and MilfyCompanion aim to cater to adult audiences through AI-driven companionship, they differ significantly in their offerings. Nextpart AI stands out with its comprehensive features and customizable experiences, making it a more appealing choice for users seeking immersive interactions. MilfyCompanion may still find its niche but currently lacks the depth and engagement offered by its competitor. As always, potential users should conduct thorough research and consider their preferences before choosing between these platforms.
Are you saying this has Google Drive integration? Afaik, it doesn't care where the input file comes from.

For the record, for the past year, you could have uploaded your personal doc to ChatGPT and have it do things with it.
yeah, it was the same for us. really one day we woke up, talked about it, and agreed, why not. worst case, i'll work a few more years than i had originally planned or whatever. best cast, we have delivered a valuable service to the community and can work on it for many years. my wife will be full time and it's very much her dream too. i hadn't thought of the newsletter but that's such a good idea...stay tuned, i might dm you.

> Continuous learning and development are also values that employees are often invited to practice, though not when there's work to do!

These are the things you're supposed to do on the evenings and weekends.

Honestly, I'd love it if companies took the tack of giving employees projects based on the skills they want them to develop, instead of the skills they already have.

Whining about the national popular vote every 4 years is literally an encouragement of increased actual democracy.

Scrapping the electoral college would be one of the most lower case d democratic things this country could do.

“Whining” is all you can do when you don’t have the statehouse votes to pass an constitutional amendment.
yup...it's razor thin. the ones that we found doing well are very, very good at community engagement in events and partnerships with local schools, community colleges, etc.
While Matt's willingness to engage is commendable, it also exposes the need for clearer governance models in major open source projects. Perhaps it's time for WordPress to consider a foundation-style structure, separating Matt's personal influence from the project's direction.
Wow. Talk about perverse incentives!

>sorting out how to order a lot of bookshelves

I've heard that IKEA "Billy" bookshelves are very popular, including among people who heavily customize them into creations that look nothing like the original.
I actually agree with you here on all your points.

The chans in general aren't a huge issue, though nowadays, 4chan in particular IS pretty bad last time I checked.

I also don't like that my comment is at the top of the page it takes away from the article (on my screen it's third from top though).
> always the persecutory delusions, belief that they are some king or prophet/chosen one, disorganized thinking, and word salads. Why is it always the same symptoms?

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

Your argument is as good as calling Martha Mitchell crazy and dismissing entirely possible organized exploitation on a premise of made-up symptoms that are composed of zero scientific evidence.
Thanks for the comment. I read the post, because of your words and it was something I needed to read.
> I had a teacher that routinely did this.

> I hated it.

> The issue is that, at least for me, I'm madly trying to capture in my notes whatever it is the teacher was presenting.

I've observed this relation for myself, but the causality in my experience has clearly been reversed: it's not really possible for me to pay much attention to what is being taught when I'm working so hard just to write it down. Taking sparse, partial notes— or no notes at all— always left me way more room to think about the material.

This kind of approach works a lot better when you have a competent textbook that you can actually take home, which is only occasionally the case for high schoolers and almost never the case for elementary schoolers. When you have a decent textbook you can always make 'slow notes' from that at your leisure, if you really need them, and you can also do the readings before class so that all you need from the lecture is to fill in gaps.

But either way, trying to copy down the whole board is almost always the wrong way to take notes unless you are typing and can do so much more quickly than the board changes, IME. It's just way too much overhead and doesn't leave enough room for substantive engagement.
$100M just isn't that much money though. That's maybe the compensation for 200-300 truly good-to-excellent engineers? RTO mandate seems likely to lose that many good to great engineers. $100M is 0.017% of amazon's revenue. At my income level that's equivalent to me telling the woman who cleans my house that she's done here because I found someone else who charges $1/month less.

I could see that potentially being one part of the overall calculus, but certainly have difficulty seeing it be a rational "driving reason" of all this RTO.
Perhaps you are suggesting trying to Unionize? In most public sector unions, the politicians hold all the cards of a union (Example: http://tiny.cc/b7xnzz). I wonder any checks on Amazon type companies is possible in the US, even if employees were successful in forming a union.
What is perverse?

HTTP headers in Go are maps, which have a built-in mechanism for checking key existence, which distinguishes b/t empty and missing. No nils involved.

Mullenweg has done an excellent job of turning an issue where he has both the moral and legal high ground into one where he's the villain through overreaction, ego, and unnecessary grandstanding. After seeing how he retributes against people and organizations he doesn't like, it's hard not to fundamentally worry about whether Wordpress is a legally safe platform on which to build one's business. (Comments about its historical insecurity aside.)

Somebody needs to start telling him "no." Ideally he'd step aside. I doubt either of those things will ever happen.
Ehh is it? The CPC regulates videogames the way it does because it views it as a moral harm to society the same way people argue about gambling destroying lives. And gay sex harms the fertile output of the People and so also shouldn't be promoted. Capitalist imperialism is always at the gates trying to tempt people to turn on their fellow citizens and oftentimes it masquerades as a Christian Missionary so the State is obligated to keep a sharp check on religious organizations, not to mention to protect people from destroying their lives through cults (and ALL religions are cults). These needs require the regulation of speech and business.

The USA doesn't take it quite so far but it did strongly regulate the socio-economic imperialism of Communism, leveraging State resources to attempt to convince socialist leaders to kill themselves (MLK) or just by assassinating and imprisoning them (Black Panthers). The State protects people from ruining their lives with marijuana, or from ruining the justice system by telling people walking into a courthouse about Jury Nullification. These needs require the regulation of speech (can't tell people Communism is super awesome and you should unionize and strike) and business (can't open a casino in downtown LA).

For the record gay sex isn't harmful to the fertility of the state and shouldn't be regulated, nor should speech about Jury Nullification, I was just making a point about both nations.
> There are no cameras cheaper than around $7k with GPS

false. E-M1X, K-I, K-1II, 6DII, 5DIV, SLT-A55V, SLT-A65V, SLT-A77V all has/had it well under $7k. There are also few compact models intended for construction and/or field research purposes that has Wi-Fi && GPS.
Who is building and operating a plant (these need to be more or less 1:1 per MW to back your intermittent power sources) that sits idle 95% of the time? That would be a pretty interesting pitch deck.

That’s a pretty damn low utilization rate. The cost per Mwh would make the Texas polar vortex incident look downright cheap. Or you’ll be having the government build and operate idled natural gas (or coal!) plants via taxpayer money since investors are generally not quite that poor at math. An idle plant still needs the same number of staffing and engineering as one operating at 90% capacity factors, before you even begin to look at capex.

Perhaps that will happen. Running your baseload generation balls to the wall at 100% seems to be a far better use of capital to me, and have your cheap intermittent power sources fill in for those peak loads that don’t require reliability.

I can come up with all sorts of great ideas on how to utilize spare solar capacity. None are financially practical in the scale of a human lifetime at a societal level, even with a magic wand to instantly enable the political will to do so.

Humans continue to amaze me with their inability to account for tail risk. The same political magic wand makes nuclear viable within a decade or two, accounting for said tail risk within it.

That said, the current unserious political climate gives me zero hope any solution will be found, so I’m simply preparing for semi regular power outages becoming a thing within my lifetime.

Don't you think Kay Objects are very present in distributed microservices architectures? Services which provide APIs as the only way to interact. Some even require consumers to register their own servers for callback and require the implementation of callback functions.

Without going much further Server-Client architecture presents characteristics of Kay objects, if only because their physical separation requires limitation of the control between server and client for security concerns.

Multitenancy of machines also forwarded Kay Objects in parallel due to security concerns, first OS processes and then stricter virtual machines enforced independency of these objects and allowed communication through strict long-range protocols like TCP in the case of VMs.

I feel Kay pushed for objects at the application level and this was largely redundant with Operating system level concepts like scheduling, user and kernel layer memory protection. Threads and containers proved that there is a need for a more tightly controlled scheduler and resource sharing, but in general Kay's objects nowadays just use strong encapsulation mechanisms at the OS layer such that objects usually communicate via network protocols as if they were in separate machines altogether, they truly are separate physical objects running independently.

It is important to consider the ideas of Kay in their time context, preemptive scheduling was a young concept, and processes back then did not have much protection against memory accesses. Of course the scarcity of resources (compute, memory) back then was also a factor to push for application level encapsulation, but nowadays we can just spin up virtual machines and throw metal into some datacenters, there is a surplus of hardware so there is no incentive to replicate and optimize hypervisors, so they don't move to the application layer at all. Turns out all of those security features are really important in guaranteeing encapsulation, you don't even have to worry about whether there is a bug leaking state, because that is taken as a security concern, and the barriers are designed to be protected against skilled attackers, so random bugs are much less likely to break encapsulation.

Application level objects are still very much used, to my knowledge in simulation software including games, where it would be unreasonable and unnecessary to spin up a VM for each butterfly in a simulated world. But it turns out that in business, Kay Objects are usually assigned to a programmer or to a team of programmers, so there's rarely situations where a programmer is in charge of more than one object, and they need to play a dissociated god controlling designing many entities, and when we do, we inevitably suffer from an identity crisis. And we use harder abstractions like processes or servers anyways. No need to fit multiple kay objects into a single process, that usually causes way too many objects. It's desirable to assign some cost and administrative overhead to object creation to avoid Programmer Ego Death.

The government also sets up regulations that protect incumbent electricity generators.

Delaying a renewable facility from earning money for years when it has to borrow everything up front to start is extra deadly. I want proper environmental review though, to the extent it's possible to have that without it being weaponized by NIMBYs to simply run out the clock on a project's viability.

I propose we use our powers of reasoning and knowledge of chemistry as a species to try to do better than just rolling the dice and hoping for the best. Economic suicide and blind luck are not the only options. But for some economic suicide appears to be the goal.

Warehouse wages will rise until it’s more economical to automate the remaining jobs that have not yet been automated. Then there will be no warehouse employees.
Right. We're only really dealing with the population of employees who strongly prefer working from home.

That's likely disproportionately employees who have families (hence a commute), so skew older and more senior. These employees will take the secret sauce they learned over many years at Amazon and spread it to startups and other orgs.

It's kind of like fungus spore dispersal.

I'm also Australian I experienced an overly attentive waiter recently when I was eating at a steakhouse with a few friends. It felt like every 5 minutes they would come up to the table interrupt the conversation to ask something like "How are you enjoying the meal? Can I get you anything?" It was a little bit jarring because of how frequently it occurred. I don't mind once or twice but the frequency in this case seemed excessive.

Possibly it was because it wasn't very crowded and the junior waiter was trying to look busy in front of their supervisor.
If this is our solution then it's going to actually be solved when a good chunk of humanity gets wiped out. Because I don't see this happening when our dominant economic system demands growth and consumption. Disappointing our science fiction missed the mark on this one assuming humanity would be wiped out by super-weapons and not by inadvertently changing our world to be uninhabitable faster than we can adapt to it.

Here's to hopefully dying before it gets too bad!
Here's a good comment thread from cpptools extension:

Having not delved too deeply into building from source, this post suggests it's not even possible.

We will need some new terminology to express that a given codebase is OSS licensed and the build dependencies additionally are OSS licensed.

How completely inhumane. From a strictly numerical perspective you are correct, but it is disgusting and vile.

I know plenty of people without mental health issues who can't get jobs that make 20k and I know a few with degrees who can't.

Making healthcare a for-profit venture guarantees that poor people suffer disproportionately. Making chemicals is cheap and most of the innovation happens on government grants and funding. A government run healthcare system is obvious a cheaper solution with less suffering.
Without proposing a model for how the 50+ full time employees who create VS Code justify their collective ~20MM annual budget, this sounds a lot like: “Ugh, they made it mildly inconvenient for my company to benefit from all their engineering work but swap out the product surface and reap the profits by undercutting their product via not needing to fund the engineering ourselves. How lame.”
I should have done more job hunting last month.
The lack of integrity and human values of the person is orthogonal to the issue but the issue is forevermore tainted and set back with such an infamous association.

NotebookLM's automatically generated podcasts are surprisingly effective
Yep. His efforts were completely counterproductive and worthless. Right analysis but entirely wrong and stupid prescription. I read several of his books out of tackling of infamous works like Mein Kampf and Das Kapital. I couldn't bring myself to read Henry Ford's books, however.
I am not convinced the text means what you say it means.

All knowledge (publicly available and not) and all tools (AI or not) can be used by people in material ways to commit the aforementioned atrocities, but only the models producing novel knowledge would be at risk. I hope you can see how this law would stifle AI advancement. The boundary between what's acceptable and not would be drawn at generating novel, publicly unavailable information; not at information that could be used to harm - because all information can be used that way.

What if AI solves fusion and countries around the world start building fusion weapons of mass destruction? What if it solves personalized gene therapy and armed forces worldwide develop weapons that selectively kill their wartime foes? Should we not have split the atom just because that power was co-opted for evil means, or should we have not done the contraception research just because the third Reich used it for sterilization in their war crimes? This bill would work towards making AI never invent any of the novel things, simply out of fear that they will be corrupted by people as they have been in history. It would only slow research and whenever the (slower) research makes its discoveries, they would still get corrupted. In other words, there would be no change in human propensity to hurt others with knowledge, simply less knowledge.

Besides, the text is not "very very clear" on AI if and when it hacks major infrastructure or builds nukes. If it was "very very clear" on that, that is what it would say :) - "an AI model is prohibited to be the decision-making agent, solely instigating critical harm to humans". But what the text says is different.

I agree that AI harms to people and humanity need to be minimized but this bill is a miss rather than a hit and the veto is good news. We know AI alignment is needed. Other bills will come.
