I agree. Maybe the breakdown is between:

1) taking a picture

2) doing something with the picture

People coming to photography from smartphones want the priorities reversed.

But the deeper you get into it, the more you want #1 and the more control you want over #1. The worst is #2 getting in the way of the shot.

And actually, lots of people into photography think it is about the camera, but it is really about the lenses.

You buy lenses, then buy/upgrade bodies around them.
Thanks for the exchange
Both of these! And spot on with (mutual) motive analysis to come up
with an "alignment" matrix.

I was inspired some time ago by Stella Rimington's writing (ex MI5
chief) that "identity" is actually a very poor basis for trust and
authentication. It's unnerving watching the whole zero-trust show
organise itself around notions of strong identity (as opposed to role
and earned trust), which might turn out to be a rather silly thing to
do.
> Performance looks like a total non-issue for this use case.

The presentation brings up performance as one of the problems with the D-Bus though, so it seems like it is an issue.
I would like to see this get legal traction just to see the industry panic and writhe.
It's not about current LLMs, it's about future, much more advanced models, that are capable of serious hacking or other mass-casualty-causing activities.

o-1 and AlphaProof are proofs of concept for agentic models. Imagine them as GPT-1. The GPT-4 equivalent might be a scary technology to let roam the internet.

It would have no effect on current models.
Medical and legal industries are both trying to apply AI to their administrative practices.

I found An Entire MBA in 1 Course really helpful. It actually goes through core business principles, covering everything from marketing and strategy to finance.

It looks like marketing within large companies is vastly different from marketing for smaller initiatives.
I've bought 11" macbook airs (2013 ish) for a couple of average users and they were very pleased with the speed having come from sluggish Windows machines. I used one myself for years. I'm not sure what the problem is? They respond to clicking stuff in like a second when Windows takes 10.
Divisiveness is an outcome, not a solution. So I'm not really sure what you mean.

I'm just not sure that you realize your framing of things that you agree with as "respectful and serious" and anything you don't as "incendiary" and "a waste of time" is literally the dynamic that you are railing against. You are half of the problem. Somewhere else on the internet, someone else is saying the very same thing about you. You can't claim the masses won't engage in collaborative debate when you aren't willing to either.
I don't think your point disagrees with mine. Charging based on demand is fine, requiring take-or-pay contracts when your request requires expensive grid upgrades is fine. Charging more because it's a datacenter as opposed to heavy industry, not fine. That's the part that mirrors NN.

But to directly answer your question, yes there is competition. In most states, Ohio being one of them, you can choose who provides your power generation. And since companies are shopping states for where to build data centers AEP has a lot of competition for delivery.
Conflict files are good. It means you changed the same file in multiple locations and Syncthing didn't overwrite or delete any of them.

Much like forest fires, only you can prevent conflict files.
> they are brilliant, expensive, and highly trained lab technicians who prep and repair equipment and then hit the "go" button for experiments that were designed by, and will be analyzed by, scientists on Earth

True. I was just curious if having two extra pairs of hands was letting new experiments be done, or existing ones be done more thoroughly.
all inventions are accretive from day one, in the majority of historical bubbles the speculation was built on top of already profitable technologies but there was always one or two firms that were profitable to begin with. Modern bubbles (AI, Metaverse,Crypto) are speculative from the word go, there isn’t a single company that’s profitable in those verticals.
You may be a progressive liberal aged 20, but with your views not even changing you will be a moderate conservative aged 60.

Only applying to the biggest models is the point; the biggest models are the inherently high-risk ones. The larger they get, the more that running them at all is the "high-risk situation".

I’m working on a generic way of getting human input within any automated workflow.

The forms can be dynamically generated within the workflow, and then call back with the response.

The article explicitly uses Rust as an example of a safe language
It makes it easier to characterise. The way it does so is by eliminating nuance and making a word that doesn't express the opinions that people actually have.

Making it easier to characterise makes the characterisation easier to criticise, but that's not a meaningful target.

Use of unnuanced terminology creates battlefields far away from the positions that people actually care about.

Defund the police is used as a phrase by people who want a well regulated well funded police system. Only a very few extreme people want to eliminate police correctly

Microaggression is used in academia with a degree of specificity but there are those who will use it to mean "Thing I don't like". Dunning Kruger is a non partisan term that is misused similarly.

I don't particularly like the term woke myself but I also tend to agree with Godwin's second law.
And my comment argues why that’s not true:

- many people prioritizing money are workers

- many (most?) owners are not making money

So in the context of this essay “choosing ownership” is not the key career choice facing young people.
This is being needlessly pedantic over a somewhat poetic usage of "raised" in the title.
> ones that set their own rules.

So also doctors, lawyers, teachers, soldiers and government workers.

It's not that they can't be replaced by AI, they just won't legally be allowed to.
Syncthing is a wonderful open source project that I thoroughly enjoyed using when my mobile device was on Android. Everything I needed was synced, all the time. Great performance, too. And it was really easy to set up syncing of a particular folder with random people for various projects.

I switched to an iPhone for greater privacy, and was crushed to find Syncthing doesn't support iOS.

I see that 5-6 years later they still don't. Sad, given the iPhone has a majority market share in the US (60%).

I use Nextcloud and it's....okay. There's some weirdness where files I've specified should be always available somehow aren't, but luckily the keepass client keeps an internal/backup copy and is smart enough to open that.

iCloud is just...a rolling dumpster fire. And easily the most frustrating thing about it is that there's no way to set up an iPhone without it immediately trying to sync everything to iCloud, like say, your iMessage encryption keys...

Half of the point of having a dedicated camera is better ergonomics. I'm finding current smartphones good enough for most uses, but they are simply awkward to use and very slow to control without an external grip.
> Have you heard of someone getting "better" after taking anti-depressants and being able to come off them? No. They have to take them for life. That's not a cure.

Some people with acute depression can take the meds, work on the underlying issues and taper off, yes.

People with chronic depression likely need to take the meds for life.

People with type I diabetes can't get insulin one time either. People with allergies often take the allergy meds when exposed to allergens, which is always for some.

That's not big pharma being greedy, that's a chronic condition requires chronic treatment.

Capital flooding into the residential real estate market hasn't exactly 'sploded the quantity of available housing.

There are other mechanisms of financing housing than equity capital. (Loans, grants, tax deductions to mortgage holders, direct land grants as was the case with the Homestead Act, direct government construction (local, regional, state, federal), etc.)

Yes, that single load took years. It required huge amounts of speculative capital, years of fruitless exploration, and as you say, multiple failed expeditions before it succeeded.

That is my point.
Nah. They're not alone. For me, syncthing would just randomly decide an updated file conflicted; I had two computers and a smartphone and was pretty careful about this stuff.

It was its only fault - but it was easier to figure out what the actual most-current file was.

Nextcloud does the same thing occasionally, and it's not intuitive at all trying to figure out which one is the proper one to keep.
> I had to stop using it after loads of conflict files piled up over the years in my notes folder.

SyncThing is still still _loads_ better than Next/Own-Cloud unless you also need the extra baggage those two bring.

Having said that, "conflict-sync" files are my current issue.

I have several devices that sync to a local central device and a remote central device and I'm struggling to determine if the "conflicts" that are _not_ conflicts are because of this "dual-honed" approach or not.
Also, very strange for you to claim to be a Muslim and then write a searing critique of Islam that would seem to dismiss the humanity of a group (approving of mass killing by bombing) of Muslims because of their religion of Islam.
Risky for the company, not for the individual. Hence why they are happy to pay what is, at the corporate level, a paltry sum to make a problem go away. It just happens to be a rather large sum at the individual level.

A bad CEO can easily ruin hundreds of billions or trillions in value. Some tens of millions to be rid of the problem is a no brainer.
We don't have cures for diabetes, HIV/AIDS, allergies, plenty of ailments. Having treatments is totally valid even if they are taken forever.

People with the guidance of their doctor stop taking antidepressants all the time. External factors aren't static and often these can change. (separately or because of the treatment)
You do not need to stop treatment unless you and your doctor have decided it is going to be better for you.

Another point I'd make is that we don't have exact mechanisms for action in other treatments like paracetamol. That doesn't make it invalid treatment.

So this is the one that would make it illegal to provide open weights for models past a certain size, would make it illegal to sell enough compute power to train such a model without first verifying that your customer isn't going to train a model and then ignore this law, and mandates audit requirements to prove that your models won't help people cause disasters and can be turned off.
Whenever I need to share files between two Windows computers in a LAN, I'll use this tool.

It sounds kind of ridiculous, but just goes to show how crappy/difficult the Windows native file sharing is.
You have to ensure there's continuity - at least something online and connected at all times, to ensure that the system can know and have distributed the latest version of the files.

I just have it running on my desktop, and at this point, the system's been running for nearly 6 years, and the file conflicts are rare. They only happen when I e.g. do edits on my laptop offline, then go home and do more edits on my desktop before letting my laptop sync.
Yeah those dumb fucks should have just been rich.
By solution I meant “tool” or “method” to resolve.

Divisiveness is not a necessary outcome of most disagreements (political, cultural, societal, interpersonal), and it is not the right tool to solve them.

Diplomacy is a better tool, calm and understanding discussion is another, sometimes just listening is enough — there are many good tools. Divisive politics is not one of them.

I may not disagree with the message/data of the article, but I do disagree in the delivery/reporting quality. And the overall package is healthier for society to disregard. I do see your point that it can be discussed, but there are better articles to start a helpful and serious debate. I hope you can see my view.

Frankly, look at how the HN community reacted to your comments accusing others of being the problem and such. You may have an important and valid message but you should work on its delivery, because serious people (like decision-makers or those who contemplate deeply) won’t engage in a discussion like this. Apologies if this is unpleasant to read.
Hey! I'm working on Getgud.io, an AI-powered game analytics and anti-cheat platform.

Our goal is to provide complete observability into player behavior, detect cheaters and griefers, and help game developers improve player retention.

Some key features we're working on:

- AI-powered analysis of in-match player actions to detect anomalies

- Customizable rules engine for automated responses to toxic behavior

- Visual replay system for reviewing flagged matches

Check out our website at https://www.getgud.io and watch our detection video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EhTpfEzh1M to see Getgud.io in action.

We support server-side integration for popular platforms like Unreal Engine and Unity.

For integration guides and SDK references, visit our docs at https://github.com/getgud-io/getgud-docs.

Happy to chat more about game analytics and cheat detection if anyone's interested!
I’ve been developing a plugin for the Neovim text editor called sia.nvim, inspired by the Egyptian deity Sia.

You can check out the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/isaksamsten/sia.nvim.

I also have a few screen recordings showing its capabilities. I’ve been using it for about six months to enhance my writing.

The plugin leverages a language model to suggest text improvements, features a split-view interface, and allows users to select the edits they want to keep from a diff.

It’s still a bit rough around the edges, and the code is quite messy since I’m still learning Lua and the Neovim API. However, I’m gradually improving it whenever I find the time.
Does anyone understand what the second to last slide about the diver’s TLD being broken and repaired with glue means? Was that part of the dosimeter?
Dance calendar (Django app, with some AlpineJS/HTMX). Approximately 80 admin pages + 20 end user views + 100 admin views. 2M page loads/month during the summertime. This is in production.

For the dance calendar, support site with good first-line AI support based on FAQ answers.

Ad management platform for the dance calendar. Sites like this have specific requirements for placing ads that are not well supported by AdSense etc. I would like to have an alternative for smaller players for the header bidding used by the larger players.

Separate webapp to store happenings (messages, emails, descriptions, documents, etc.), tag them and show them on a timeline, allowing filtering the events visible on the timeline. Django/HTMX/AlpineJS. This is for a legal battle I am having.

A tool for describing workflows using the Unified Service Management (USM) model. The method is to frameworks (ITIL etc.) what open source is to commercial software. I am currently working on cross-referencing tool to map ISO 27k requirements to USM statements. I have developed my own formal language for defining the requirements. The end goal is to automate validating many ISO 27k requirements.
>the arctic would be ice free in 5 years

The claim at the time was that if nothing was done in the 5 following years, the Arctic would start an unstoppable heating process that wouldn't stop even if we stopped all emissions.

Nowadays, almost all ice and thermoaline specialists work on Antarctica because we already know what will happen with the Arctic, that's why almost nothing new is published. At least new routes will open :)

> they apparently have Starliner and it works

One, had. Starliner went home. Two, they didn’t. Starliner was broken. Its manoeuvring thrusters, a critical reëntry system, were misbehaving. If you’re on a plane and the oxygen system fails, that’s an emergency. You don’t have to wait for cabin pressure to fail for it to qualify, and oxygen systems aren’t even a critical system; this is closer to the flaps or landing gear behaving erratically.
> The younger two dropped out of college

> He left college after his first semester when, like his older brother Daniel, he couldn’t figure out what he was doing there.

> Daniel, who left college midway through his sophomore year after indecision about his major spiraled into a larger existential crisis.

Perhaps the effort to shove everyone and their brother into higher education is a bit misguided?

With schools lowering standards to boost graduation rates, and politicians conveniently promising yet more college affordability every 4 years, it’s hard to avoid perceiving one’s self-worth through the lens of college performance.
Seems that this update also allowed people to uninstall it. Prior to this revamp Microsoft said the ability to uninstall it was just a "bug".

Recently [1/2 year ago], one of Nginx's main two devs forked it into https://freenginx.org. Since then there seems to have been a flurry of activity in Nginx, especially among the official plugins.

Then, there is a also Tengine, a fork of Nginx by Taobao that is chugging along for the past ~13 years.

Long term, we have seen this happen with Mysql/Maria/Percona Server; having the fork keeps the main project open and active, but at some point I expect the fork to lose steam.

Would love to hear how someone who actually follows the DB space looks at these developments.
If you decide to use SQLite with one (single thread) writer pool and an
other reader pool, this may help:
https://github.com/bxcodec/dbresolver

Also sometimes if I have two tables where I know I’ll never need to do a JOIN between them, I’ll just put them in separate databases so that I can connect to them independently.

If this data belongs together and you're just doing this to improve concurrency, this may be a case where BEGIN CONCURRENT helps: https://sqlite.org/src/doc/begin-concurrent/doc/begin_concur...

If you want to experiment with BEGIN CONCURRENT in Go you could do worse than try my SQLite driver:

> I've always thought it was due to tipping

I've been bothered far more by wait staff in Australia than I ever have in the US. Must be down to the location and the restaurant.
This is an increasing problem throughout the west. I was listening to a UK ex-politician (Phillip Hammond), who was the Chancellor and Foreign Secretary in the past.

His view, which I broadly agree with, is that the membership of a party (Tory, Labour, etc) are further from the mainstream "centre ground" than the general population, and that's a bad thing. His solution was the leadership of the party should come from the elected representatives (the MPs) and not the 100,000 "enthusiastic" members -- in the past the parties (Tory and Labour specifically) had massive membership, but now it's just a small number. It's relatively easy for a specific group to actually take over a party.

However I don't think that the small number of votes is the only problem -- the US doesn't have that problem for example, are driven by the views of millions and still come out with the less centrist options

Oh come on, the entire bill was against open source models, it’s pure business. “AI safety”, at least of the X-risk variety, is a non-issue.

There are many projects, livbs in pure python without Any c extensions. PyPy work faster with cffi based libs than python c-extension Based ones too.
This comment is probably the most correct reason "woke" has a negative tone now, because they chose to use it as a way to ignore their behaviors or associations that might not be the most empathetic of others, aligning it with this "woke" movement allows them to turn their back on the topic. Hard for those that care about topics to engage in bringing to light when half the Country puts your comment on blast for being too "woke". It's like Idiocracy at it's infancy.
Obviously these TOS applied to conglomerate businesses are insane, but why should they be able to sue Uber instead driver who actually caused harm? I'm all for slamming corporations for their crimes, but suing whoever has the deepest pockets is another mis-assignment of justice.
