Hi, thanks for that name feedback.

You can def tell AI what to do but the point is to have them do and reply to you in a way that's structured and expected, such that you can have your software process their responses and apply it according to your logic! With the least amount of words possible! The Human Response field is for people-facing responses (where you generally need more words) and the system response field is for responses to be used directly by your software.
Have these companies actually improved since being acquired, or just not collapsed?
It is, or it's an advantage.
I just sandbox Windows itself. My only complaint is that I can't play some online games.
I don't know anything about warfare but it's impressive that everyone here is an expert in it. AI, drones, AI powered drones, I just can't keep up.
MANPADS have generally not changed since the Afghanistan war. And here I mean the Soviet-Afghanistan war, not the twice as long but more or less equally ineffective American-Afghanistan war. If the attack helicopter is dead, then it has already been dead for ~40 years.

>hey rarely articulate why the government should be suing these companies, which laws that company broke, or if those laws make sense.

Because it's not productive and against HN guidelines to say "read the article".

>Last year, the FTC alleged Amazon.com, which has 1 billion items in its online superstore, was using an algorithm that pushed up prices U.S. households paid by more than $1 billion. Amazon has said in court papers it stopped using the program in 2019.

Price fixing is generally an illegal tactic. I'm not a lawyer but there's plenty of legal dictionaries that laymen can understand on the whats, why's, and hows. So yes, the goverment should sue if a law is suspected of being broken.

>The Google suit was particularly egregious. There was no alternative to Google search because no one had built a better product for reasons that have nothing to do with anticompetitive behavior.

did you ignore the point where google was spending 250m a year to Apple to be the default search engine on IOS?

Please actually read the topics before complaining that there is no rationale behind it. You're doing the very thing you accuse others of doing. YOu're not providing an argument you're saying arguments don't exist and inserting a strawman.

>the government picked the exact moment when Google's search market share is seriously threatened to sue!

Googles been under scrutiny since pre-pandemic. There is no such thing as "good timing" for a lawsuit because they take years to bring to court, let alone to resolve.

...and make himself look like a clown in the process...
the books that i remember reading are about a guy traveling the americas on horseback, some about traveling parts of the world on a bike. horatio hornblower, all books by karl may and several by rudyard kipling.

i don't know how much of an influence the books had. i started traveling around europe when i was a teenager. was it because of the books or did i read the books because i was already interested in exploring the world?

i know i started reading kipling because of the djunglebook and kim, which both have a significance in scouting.

what surprises me the most is that i didn't read any science fiction until much later, but now i am exclusively focused on that genre. this is worth noting because i wonder what would have happened if my dad had had any scifi books at home or if i had been exposed to them in some other way.

i believe the first scifi book was "brave new world", which was a book assignment in my exchange year in the US, but i didn't really pick up on the scifi aspect of that book either. it is significant because it is the second book i read in english but the first one that i enjoyed reading. the first book, which i hated, was "for whom the bell tolls", which i had picked because my teacher recommended hemmingway as an american author. it was a horrible book that took me almost a year to get through, and i always thought it was because english was my second language. but then i just flew through "brave new world" and realized that my english was not the problem, but hemmingway was. i wish my teacher had recommended someone like mark twain instead.
Like most things in software the use cases are the limits of one's imagination. The browser has always been a Turing complete development environment so this is just another demonstration.
TL;DR: emulating any ARM binaries on x86_64 via QEMU is so slow that it is unusable for any general use.

This is also less of a QEMU problem and more just that ARM does not emulate well on x86_64 due to their designs.

"Not really" means the war and its tactics haven't changed at all in two years? I find that very hard to believe.

I agree with your three points, but they are very high level, a bit like quoting Sun Tzu. The question is whether the attack heli is becoming rapidly obsolete (or at least, relegated to less relevant roles), and I think it might. Other weapon systems have, after all.

Edit: I love that I got downvoted for asking this even though, sure enough, Perun indeed uploaded a recent video reviewing his opinions of the attack helicopter! Oh, well... that's HN for you.

Canvasing has been around forever. You've never had someone outside a grocery store ask you whether you're registered to vote?

Trump's 2016/2020 campaigns did less of these older methods of finding votes as, believe it or not, they were a fairly grassroots movement driven largely by the internet and rallies

Honestly, it probably is going to depend on whether the US continues to have an administration that's willing to take blatant monopolists to court.
A little scary? You realize all the output generated by AI is only going to get more and more and more real right?

Follow the trend line. You'll be seeing stories, movies and works of art better than humans in the not too far future.

OMG. I'm so happy how much AI is improving our lives right now. It really is the future, and that future is bright.

Thanks guys!
This would be a valid analogy if there was a secret group at your school only handing out tickets to kids from the same extended families and no one else.

How you don't see that as an abuse of power is beyond me. Sometimes HN feels eerily like talking to Trump supporters that rationalize any abuse.
I think there's a range of ways you could communicate it. Kind of depends on the structure of how the backlog gets churned through. Maybe each episode card includes a sigil for the transcript that's either a green circle with a check or a short summary of how long you expect before you process it (6d, 6h, 15m, etc)? That's also kind of busy - maybe you end up putting a single element at the top of the podcast page saying how long before the next episode will be transcribed and perhaps how long before all episodes might be transcribed (i.e. you need to wait at least this X long and probably not longer than Y)?

Having a big central page for all backlogs sounds cool, but I imagine I would probably care about the expected delay for a particular podcast / episode of a podcast most of the time?
Apologies. A bit of a blanket statement on my part. There are definitely examples of roundabouts built properly (where cyclists and pedestrians are considered first-class users). Sadly not that common in my experience.

Here is an example of the kind of thing I had in mind: https://maps.app.goo.gl/mexZWJ9ZP1yvEJ7k7

As you can see, they are building a pedestrian overbridge on the north side, but consider what you would have to do to traverse in any other place as a pedestrian (or get across anywhere currently). Here's a suggestion from Google (i.e. just pretend you're a car): https://maps.app.goo.gl/AiBoyWk4Z7bFr21z5

The above is in one of the busiest parts of this city. It's not like there are no people wanting to walk. In fact I found myself in exactly this position here not too long ago. I wanted to get from the mall side to a cafe on the opposite side. I gave up and ate a sad meal in the mall :(

Edit: Here's another example (with Google's hilariously impractical suggestion): https://maps.app.goo.gl/pati5dBBTnSgxZ1m9

I moved many years ago to this combo, and never saw a single reason to switch away. Same for android phone, the only usable mobile web experience I've seen. Those few sites over a decade that had some display issues had issues also under chrome.

Plus I personally consider ads a cancer of modern society. White and not so white lies, manipulation... nothing respectable regardless (or because ) of tremendous money circulating in it.
Unfortunately, "environmentally friendly" is not compatible with a long storage time.

In a suitable hermetic packaging, e.g. in a metallized plastic bag, protein powders may be stored for years without refrigeration, which I find extremely convenient and I consider as one of their important advantages over other protein sources, such as meat or dairy, together with the advantage that the protein powders require much less storage space and they are much lighter, being composed of almost pure protein.

The latter advantage, in volume and mass, is also an advantage over the vegetable sources of proteins, e.g. dry legumes or wheat flour, which can be stored for a long time, but which contain much more starch than proteins.
100% it makes me emotional when I see the rate of decline. The calibre of this goverment is shocking, we deserve better than TwoTierKeir and Lammy.

Personally I am suspicious about why Starmer tried to pushed this through when no one was looking. Whats behind it? Maybe China promising a good deal on carbon capture technology.
I notice you started by a blanket statment and use a strawman that is forms in React, a framework known for being the worst for forms (if you don't know the right library). Overall a poor criticism of SPA as a whole.

But I can generate something with AI and then sign it myself and say "I wrote it, pinky promise".

Since most people don't write anything on the internet, I can pay people $5 to use their signature and operate a "sign farm".

Look at the effort these people go though to send their spam.
Renewables are vastly more scalable and effective than nuclear.

You mentioned China. Last year, China brought more than 100x more PV on line than they did nuclear (on a rated power basis; levelized basis maybe 30x as much.)
Collateral damage is much less relevant in symmetric conflicts. Nobody is using either a Switchblade or an FPV in the middle of civilian areas in Ukraine right now.
I’m also experiencing issues with the website. I when to the docs page and accidentally pressed back in my browser, after which the forward button wouldn’t work to undo the back operation.

Seems like the website breaks basic browser navigation.
> As more government agencies outsource intelligence (and consequently, decision-making) to the private sector, companies like Palantir and OpenAI will become even more the de-facto government than they already are.

This is basically what I was alluding to. The stage is set all too well for this not to occur.
Open source used to be fun (edit: there was a lot less at stake)

You did it because you enjoyed the challenge and the once-in-a-while nerd props you'd get from a mailing list or an irc channel.

How many people went into tech because of a seemingly ingrained nerdly curiosity? Many.

Many more got into it for the money. Absolutely nothing wrong with money, but if you're looking for a log4j or libxz maintainer, you're going to be looking in group A. Compared to group B, group A is tiny.

There is not enough social or economic incentive for most in group B to spend the time to achieve the necessary proficiency or, once attained, actually dedicate the necessary time to a low-visibility/highly-used FOSS project.
How can I decide which store is best for me when the only store I can get Spotify from is the Spotify store? And the only store with Instagram is the Meta store?

If every store had to make every app available, then sure I'd have choice and maybe that could be super cool.

But nobody's talking about that. We're talking about a world where major corporations will make their apps available only through their own stores and can refuse to do refunds and make canceling subscriptions a nightmare.

I don't see any increased choice at all. All I see is corporations forcing their own stores, that will probably be far less consumer-friendly, and users won't have any increased choice at all.
I am happy for her to be aggressive and would forgive mistakes in court simply due to the value brought to society by her prominently going after these large anti-competitive companies. And yes she might fail to address that as well, but I wouldn’t ascribe that failure to her competency. The reality is that no one in this seat has even been trying. They’ve been asleep at the wheel as the economy gets increasingly captured by megacorps that don’t really face competition. And if she fails to rein them in, it’ll be because the existing law (antitrust law) is inadequate, more than anything else.

I think the attention she’s bringing to the issue will cause many people to ask why antitrust enforcement has to be so hard. Any company with more than $100B in revenue is a quasi-government, and damages fair competition merely through their existence. Instead of making enforcement rely on years-long court cases, we need more immediate ways to break up or regulate these companies, and what we have today is not enough. If her attempts make more people realize the current laws aren’t enough, that might be its own form of success.
As someone who started his career writing Ruby (but has since migrated to statically typed languages), I agree with your criticism. One big problem I had with the Rails community was the overemphasis on libraries/frameworks that make the code superficially look nice ("just put this dependency in your Gemfile, and it will automagically work") but aren't actually well-designed enough to be composable. The moment you're gonna have to do something out of the happy path, you're often out of luck.

The tagging problem in particular isn't such a hard problem that you' should need to pull in an extra dependency just for that. It's basically just a nested set of hash maps, the "hardest" part about it is the persistence - and I do believe it's worth spending maybe 2 hours on a proper DB schema in exchange for having code you own and understand.

There are other libraries in the Ruby ecosystem that take different approaches (dry.rb for example, which IMHO, strikes a better balance between the expressivity of Ruby and solid design), but they're not all that popular.
They use a third party domain just because that way they can track the user actions with cookies, for example Google can track your navigation across multiple websites, and thus propose to you more relevant ads. Also using a different domain was simpler and cheaper, since you don't have to host the AD content and metadata, just include the JS from the AD provider somewhere in your HTML.

Now that thanks to EU laws and browser imposing restrictions about third-party cookies it's more difficult, the whole "serve ads from other domain" may not be that relevant anyway.

If you use a random wildcard subdomain... just serve them from the main website, what is the difference? On the other side with a proxy just route the AD requests to another server if it needs to be, of course you have to find a way to distinguish which requests are for AD and which are not, something you can do with some sort of signature in the filename, so that only the server can know which requests shall be handled locally and which one forwarded to the AD provider server.
nobody knows how these models work. Not even experts. These are black box algorithms where people understand these things in terms the analogy of a best fit curve in a series of data points. Outside of this analogy... nobody understands how generative AI works.

What made a model for a specific situation choose to generate a hand with 6 fingers instead of 5? Or 5 instead of 6? Nobody knows.
> Until AI generated imagery has been tested by the legal system it may be a bit too optimistic to call this "Royalty-free, copyright-free gallery of images".

Although it's conceivable there's a surprise legal finding, companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are confident enough in how it will go that they are willing to insure you for any lawsuits, which would be ruinous for them if they consistently lost.

(One can certainly argue that AI means the law should change, but that's a separate question.)

> If I grab a series of photos from shutterstock, run them through a generative AI photo enhance process to improve the white balance, contrast and levels is that adequate enough to be considered "copyright free"?

No, just like it's not enough for me to grab a photo and change white balance and contrast. AI doesn't change anything here. Copyright infringement is generally tested by comparing the two works directly.

> How different from a source image do these AI generated images need to be to be considered "copyright free"?

The same way it's always tested: "substantial similarity"

I was instructed as an 11- or 12-year old to read aCfL. I thought it was clever the way the Middle Ages intersected with post nuclear war Earth as the setting. Questions about what is important, venerated, and why. What 'knowing' means.

As to the bleak outlook, I don't remember enough (it was a long time ago), but a few years ago looked it up on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Canticle_for_Leibowitz?usesk... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_M._Miller_Jr.?useskin=v... I learned that Arthur Miller Jr suffered from depression and chose to end his life with a firearm in 1996, age 72. I am always somewhat 'on guard' when I read works from people who were suffering with an illness like that, wondering how much of the story is infused with unnecessarily dour material when another, perhaps more upbeat approach, would have served the story as well. I guess I do not want to be dragged into depression by being overly bummed out by Fiction.
Your website is loading forever, is it down?
it is not appropriate for non-US people since the name "America" clash with how they name the continent (America), so they believe that Americans are "stealing" the name of the continent for themselves. While Americans don't think so because they don't even think there is such a continent, there are 2 continents for them.
Yeah, it just feels like it's opting developers into a business relationship with third party app stores that they may not want, by virtue of their business relationship with Google.

Look at it a different way: if Google themselves did this as opt out, developers would be screaming bloody murder about how this wasn't the terms of service they agreed to.
> In response, I was told that my understanding of philosophy is like that of a 20 year old and that I am intellectually stuck in the 1800s (in a comment comically premised on the moral philosophy of the ancient greeks).

Please tell me how Sloterdijk is premised on Plato or Socrates. It's a continuation of thought from Nietzsche's approach of "will to power" in a contemporary view, if Sloterdijk is invalid so is your use of Nietzsche as a foundation.

> I'm a little sad for anyone who didn't get to experience the Internet of the twentieth century. It was a unique point in time.

Sadly, they won't know what they were missing. It'll be the new normal

Some asshole tech apologist is probably getting ready to post that section from Plato where Socrates complains about writing any minute now.

Of course, that asshole is oblivious to the fact that most if not all of us probably just don't understand what Socrates was missing, so he's just showing his ignorance and stupidity.

> I'm ready to pay for a walled garden where the incentives are aligned towards me, instead of against me. I know that puts me in a minority, but I'm tired of the advertising 'net.

The problem is that, even if you try to do that, the incentives are probably still aligned against you, just maybe less blatantly.

Just look at how many formerly ad-free paid services are adding ads, and how hardware users literally own acts against their interests by pushing ads in their faces (e.g. smart TVs).

The guy who runs the walled garden will always be tempted to get some extra cash by adding ad revenue to your subscription feed, or cut costs by replacing human curated stuff with AI slop (maybe cleaned up a bit).

Next time my boss complains about uptime, I will tell him, even AWS have downtime. Boom!
That's part of it.

Normally when you visit contentsite.com which serves ads from adsite.com. Adblocker rules can just block adsite.com and the ads won't be shown. CNAME cloaking would have the main site have a subdomain like adsite.contentsite.com point to adsite.com, now the adblockers have the impossible task of blocking millions of subdomains that seemingly belong to legit sites, this also allows the legit sites to keep changing the subdomain since the adblocker will have no idea which subdomains serve legit content vs ads. As a bonus since the content is being served from the same domain, they can bypass certain cookie browser policies and track users even better.

This update allows you to set rules so that you can filter by resolved ip.
Dictator's Handbook completely changed how I think about politics. Strongly second that one.
Apple maintains a fully closed platform, while Google appears open yet is closed in practice. Like how Windows bundled IE, meaning that alternative browsers were never used in practice - the EU made them add a browser selection page.
