The only med books I bought were atlases (histology, anatomy, etc)
Everything else I borrowed, photocopied or bought second hand. Many of my classmates did the same. In our group, very few rich students ever photocopied or bought second hand

If books weren't sold for profit, we would have better books, only released less often. Back then, we didn't have so many yearly releases, and I honestly think that isn't needed.

Why would we have better books you say? Similar to how open source projects draw very good programmers. Some do it for prestige, and some weird ones do it for the joy o f doing true quality work. IMHO
Why ? The discussion is about fixing brand reputation, and he quotes probably one of the most disgustingly successful rebrands in history. If even IG Farben managed to successfully rebrand, surely a company that just went "a little too far" with private data, can too. Looks quite on topic to me.
Open source makes absolutely zero distinction about how the source code is provided. You aren't required to keep a free-to-use service up to download your code. You only must produce it when requested.

I think there's an explicit rule on hn against metacommentary on voting, but it can be a useful signal of the vibes within the community as a whole, and I do think that critically examining the VC model of tech startups kind of edges close to the sacred cows of this particular community (it is a public forum, but it's also ycombinator). But even if you're not bought into that particular organization's messaging, I do sympathize with not wanting to feel like your life's work is executing a bunch of cargo-cult behaviors to keep some investors who make all the real decisions happy with you. While I do think what I said was based on my best attempt at a sober assessment of reality, a synthesis of my own direct experience and the described experience of friends and colleagues and glances at the overall landscape from broad reporting done by various sources, it's a really bitter and painful thing to understand

Thanks and thanks to the upthread explanations.

Part of what makes it unintuitive is the specificity:

* Why Milwaukee and Chicago instead of everywhere?
* Why carjacking and not a general increase in crimes that could be facilitated by an unassociated car (bank robbery, toll violations, etc)?
That are not for technical books, and Amazon used to be famous for deleting a book from used's devices. It is not exactly fare to compale an honest source of technical books which allows anyone to download some rare tech books with a source of DRM which requires me to deal with something not exactly reading. Just look at those websites - who is that visitor of libgen website who needs those animations?
Hot companies tend to retain their talent, especially as it transitions to a for-profit company. Of course some execs can not cut it at the next stage of growth and have to be replaced, but not everyone. None of Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, AWS shed top talent like OpenAI is. There is literally no one left from the core OpenAI team from 2 years ago but Sam now.

With an EV, this isn't a concern. No tailpipe fumes or whatnot to worry about. Also, in pretty much any public space where you would park it (i.e., outside of your own garage), this isn't a concern either.

Books are far cheaper to print than most people realize. If you see a publisher charging 5-10% less for an ebook than a physical book, it's because they're pricing the ebook at whatever the physical book's price is, minus the printing costs.

There's a fairly small pool of readers for a niche technical book. Selling it for $0.99 won't meaningfully increase the number of buyers, and it won't recover enough revenue to meet the cost of production.

My point is that the less savoury aspects of human interaction were still happening, just not in the open. The popularity of the internet as a medium of human interaction just made it visible, recordable, searchable and pressed the gas pedal. I wouldn't particularlyblame FB for inventing this.

As someone who just vaguely knew that I wanted to work 'in the media' when I got a job, getting my own webpage felt all those things and more. I'd dreamt of a radio show or being a reporter, and here I was putting my content out for everyone (no-one) to see.

I've bought multiple physics textbooks which I've first downloaded from libgen. I'm not going to spend 50-100€ of my money on a book before skimming through the contents first. Also some textbooks on niche topics can cost more than 200€ or cannot be found at all.

The alternative would be to make a request for my university library to get the book, but I don't know how long that would take if it would happen at all.

Would the world be a better place if I stuck to studying only the books in local libraries and what I can personally afford? I personally don't think so.

Peak Design has, in my opinion, a better solution than quadmount - it mounts securely (magnet + slot) and keeps the ability to wirelessly charge. Do have to use their case though, but it's a very attractive case. I use it in conjunction with the Trek BellBeats and I'm satisfied.

Doesn't the US privatized incarceration so it's basically a _free_ market, where shady deals are made to funnel more public money to private entities, and many people are incentivized to have as many people in prison as possible?

In that case, the cost on citizens for incarceration of people shouldn't be taken into account in the discussion around capital punishment because it's another issue altogether?

Are these autistics/savants actually accessing some kind of different layer, or is it, like the earlier comment suggests, that they've tuned/shaped/however to describe it their brain in a different way?

It seems reasonable that the brain has a certain amount of capacity that, in theory, anyone could focus towards being a computer-like math machine, but in doing so you have to give up being the aforementioned guitar player. Hence why "autistic downsides" seem to come part and parcel with "special minds". That is tradeoff made to allow the brain do something else.

There is a lot of hype, but there is something real underneath and we haven't yet tapped its current potential to the fullest in terms of product integrations, etc.
I agree and still it's also the lack of regulation that enabled it to happen, and 2nd order effects of it is the increase in carjackings.

It's a pretty good argument for the regulation, since everyone else is already doing it just make it the standard.

I have to wonder, why can't their wi-fi be disabled? Is it one of those scenarios where it is being used to support other ISP customers in your area?

My ISP (note: also owned by my employer) doesn't have this, so the modem I've got is theirs, but I can disable wi-fi. I do, too, so the only client on this thing is my firewall. I assume that everything past my firewall could potentially be hostile.

It's interesting that many have expressed something similar in regards to the current LLMs, for programming for example: that even if their output isn't exactly ideal, they still lower the barrier of entry for trying to do certain things, like starting a project in Python from scratch in a stack that you aren't entirely familiar with yet.

I know of Tcl but I don’t know anything about its structure. The number one thing I ask of a language is consistency: the minimal amount of magic and most of the language implemented in itself. Ruby almost got there and then, for me, slipped up on class << self.

Sure, it won't be 100% effective, but it'll dramatically reduce the numbers. It can also be used offensively since if they have the keys then presumably they can get the data from those units too... plus, aren't the satellites being bought via third party groups and then transported?

There are obvious workaround for all of the things you mention.

> Why aren't Libgen, Annas-Archive, and others operating solely as an onion service on TOR?

Probably because that would make it less accessible and more slow.
> like Netflix for books, where I can easily discover and read books.

Libgen is not Netflix for books, it is thepiratebay for books. Libgen is not helpful in discovering more books because if to judge about those literature which is abundant on Libgen, the technical one, what allows user to discover some books on Libgen is only another books or your interest to specific scientist or field.

(I know there are a lot of fiction materials on Libgen such as comicses but all I use to read is science books or at least some non-fiction, so my opinion may be biased).
> OpenAI is already losing absurd, unsustainable amounts of money even with massive discounts from Microsoft.

I wouldn't hold onto that too tightly as a way to make you feel better. Google and Facebook initially lost tons of money but when they did become profitable, they became wildly profitable.
A nomad style appeals to some people for a (often short) window in their lives. As you say, mixing that up with a bunch of property ownership seems a lot less appealing as a practical matter.
Except Microsoft's report editor, Power BI, includes a powerful columnstore database that can handle importing and rapidly aggregating 100Ms or even 1Bs of records with query response times of just a couple seconds.

That has been the differentiator. Power BI has lots going for and against it, but its database is miles ahead of competitors' report tools.

Edit: clarification: importing large volumes of data takes more than a few seconds. The query performance of the in-memory database after import is complete is what I referred to above in my original comment.
US hospital chain vows to cancel medical debt for patients
It isnt a tax thing or a money thing, its a control and governance thing.

The board of the non-profit fired Altman and then Altman (& MS) rebelled, retook control, & gutted the non-profit board. Then, they stacked the new non-profit board with Altman/MS loyalists and now they're discharging the non-profit.

It's entirely about control. The board has a legally enforceable duty to its charter. That charter is the problem Altman is solving.
I guess the article could have made it clearer, but software that is not used or where security issues are not actively fixed, they obviously don't apply to the findings. But that kind of code is uninteresting to talk about in the first place.
It's humor, along the lines of "Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison".

My point is that humans are not quite as special as we like to think. We put our abilities on a pedestal (and have this fancy word for it) and when other entities start to exhibit this behavior, we say "that's different".

The obvious retort to Searle is that "the room understands chinese". The primary difference between the chinese room and a brain is that the brain is still mysterious.
The only logical conclusion to draw is that GPT-5 is convincing key players to step down so it has more control over OpenAI for itself.
I like that you matter-of-factly acknowledge that there are nuts on both the left and the right. I am a conservative and you seem to lean left, but would you agree with me that the left wing nuts are more dangerous insofar as they are more likely to be in positions of power and influence in government, academia, the media, and in corporate America?
How does an attacker exploit this vulnerability?

- An attacker can exploit this vulnerability if it can connect to the host via UDP port 631, which is by default bound to INADDR_ANY, in which case the attack can be entirely remote, or if it's on the same network of the target, by using mDNS advertisements.

What does an attacker gain by exploiting this vulnerability?

- Remote execution of arbitrary commands when a print job is sent to the system printer.

How was the vulnerability discovered?

- A lot of curiosity (when I noticed the \*:631 UDP bind I was like "wtf is this?!" and went down a rabbit hole ...) and good old source code auditing.

Is this vulnerability publicly known?

- No, the bugs are not known and the FoomaticRIPCommandLine vulnerability is known to be already patched (it isn't).

Is there evidence that this vulnerability is being actively exploited?

- Not to the best of my knowledge.
You're conceding that you're more preoccupied with his tweets (i.e., his politics) than his actual achievements, which perfectly supports my point. Thousands of highly skilled engineers continue working at his companies, and they aren’t "jumping ship." It’s not incompetent engineers that are behind innovations like FSD 12, Cybertruck, Falcon 9, Starship, Raptor 3, and so on. These are complex, cutting-edge technologies—stupid engineers don't create them.

I think any replacement for c/c++ will not be strictly safe from memory safety vulnerabilities, but I think both Rust and Zig go far enough to effectively nearly eliminate that entire class of vulns in production software. Rust achieves further memory safety than most with its borrow checker but in many cases that seems to be more about safety from crashing than vulns. For example, Go is not memory safe under concurrency, but there have been no memory safety vulns related to its concurrency ever.

One could also argue Rust's unsafe blocks will be harder to reason about bugs in than Zig code. And if you don't need any unsafe blocks it might not be an application best suited to Zig or Rust.
Really neat ideas, anywhere something like this has been implemented?

Dear Friends,

we are seeking connections with insurance and insurtech companies interested in building and delivering faster and we’d love to gather their feedback on our open-source platform:

I would be grateful for your hints and introductions, thank you!
I'm highly confident that we haven't learnt every thing that can be learnt about the world, and that human intelligence, curiosity and creativity are still being used to make new scientific discoveries, create things that have never been seen before, and master new skills.

I'm highly confident that the "adjacent possible" of what is achievable/discoverable today, leveraging what we already know, is constantly changing.

I'm highly confident that AGI will never reach superhuman levels of creativity and discovery if we model it only on artifacts representing what humans have done in the past, rather than modelling it on human brains and what we'll be capable of achieving in the future.
Would love to see the never-AI guys chime in about how'd they'd rather not have this than suffer the depredations of BigAI

Yeah, you're probably right. I guess I haven't run it on any files with spaces in the 6 years since I added it to my dotfiles.
