New and non-plagiarized text is essential for all the AI models to train on. Without these the AI models will reach the saturation point or worse the output will not be as effective as it can be.

If AI trains on generated text it is equivalent of an incestuous relationship and I don't have elaborate on analogy further.
Only difference between internet slapfights over superheroes and the Crusades is that we aren't starting hundred year long wars because Superman is better than Spider-Man.
This was great, I love these rabbit holes people go down, and it's great when they then share the results. Very fun watch.
Especially when sisterly countries with sisterly regulations are taken into account.
“ the idea was to decriminalize and destigmatize drugs so that persons addicted to them could seek treatment and rehabilitation”

I take your point about the capacity never having built but the activists also have to admit that the “seeking” also never happened and we simply haven’t solved that problem (how do you solve addiction for someone who doesn’t want it solved? You can’t)

But we should, now, save our cities.
I can recommend Linux.
That is a modified browser. TOR network itself doesn't protect people from fingerprinting.
> If my enterprise relies on an Adobe service, it's primarily about my relationship with them, not the product license.

That is forgetting why your enterprise relies on an Adobe service. It is because nobody else has software that does their job as well as Adobe does.

This discussion is non-sensical to me. Of course the license matters.
The book Erewhon has an interesting subplot about how in that magical place the criminals are treated as if they are sick and the sick are treated like they are criminals.

I found it interesting in thinking about how much I attribute blame to individuals or their circumstances.
I searched for it on algolia. Link?
In both of your examples, 0 is the result of a counting operation. Only what is counted differs.

"There are 0 apples left." is the answer to the question "How many apples are left?".

"There are 0 oranges." is the answer to the question "How many oranges are on the table?" (or "in the box" or wherever).

Everywhere where 0 appears in speech, it is the result of a counting or measuring operation, which provides the answer to a question, expressed or implied.

That counting or measuring operation could have had any other number as its result, instead of 0, which demonstrates that the nature of 0 is the same as that of any other cardinal number, i.e. it is a quantity (term introduced already by Aristotle, in his "Categories", where the various kinds of concepts and the words that name them were classified by the kinds of questions to which they provide answers).
In concept it is very similar to this one:

I can compose functions just fine without category theory. I do it all day long, in fact.
Yeah, I guess orbit (better yet: points further out on the ITN*?) must be pretty much like being in a giant Dewar...

Go uses a special "magic" reference time that might seem weird at first:

The Magic Reference Time is: 01/02 03:04:05PM 2006 MST

Or put another way: January 2, 2006 at 3:04:05 PM MST

Here's the genius part - the numbers in this date line up in order:

Month: 1
Day: 2
Hour: 3
Minute: 4
Second: 5
Year: 6

Pro Tips:

Need 24-hour time? Use "15" for hours
Need 12-hour time? Use "3" for hours
Need PM/AM? Just write "PM" or "pm" where you want it
Need month name? Use "January" or "Jan"

We're imagining things either way.
Are there any potential benefits of using CUDA instead of OpenCL on Nvidia GPUs? Like, better driver support, ability to utilize Nvidia-specific features?

Nvidia A100 GPU which was used to find a new Mersenne prime has specialized dedicated hardware like tensor cores, which on A100 can work not only for FP16 and FP32 but also for FP64. Are there any benefits of utilizing this capabilities?
I think that's a solid model to use, however, I would argue that its safe to assume that: ** There absolutely are users who wouldn't care in the least, and who might even see you as really clever for doing it.** Makes up >= 95% of recurrent anonymous users by default.
Right! AI is going to help you write passing tests - not BREAK your code, which is the whole point of writing tests.
> It just happens that the use of vector spaces massively helps thinking about linear algebra problems.

That is the point here.

> CT is applied to many domains.

Yes, but in which of those does it massively help? I just looked up ZX calculus, and I am sure you can formulate that better by not mentioning CT at all.
The threat to individual (and overall) development posed by easy access to shortcuts like ChatGPT provides is not benign. We are seeing very real cases where it's being overused at the expense of quality and understanding in not just academics and resumes, but also in corporate environments (consulting especially). Most people in offices are already refusing to compose their own emails and messages, and soon this will percolate into the lives of children. It is genuinely scary to me what this could bring on in the future.
That's not an elephant, that's my wife.
I don't play computer games anymore.

Factorio was the last game I played. I lost a weekend and ended up with a raging headache.

Before that an MMORPG did the same

A year before that it was Civilization IV, exactly the same, lost an entire weekend then never played it again.

I don't think I am suited to games. Or maybe I just need more free time
Nothing would happen, because the LLM can't browse the internet (and doesn't even have to be directly connected to the internet at all).

The architecture is:

internet <--> app <--> LLM

In this case "app" can only get form element descriptions from websites (including potentially malicious data), forward it to the LLM and get a response of what to fill out on the form.

Worse case I can think off the app could fill out credit card + passport info (for example) on a webform that pretends to only gather username and email address. Right now there's still a human in the loop who checks what was filled out though. Also that worse case risk could be reduced if the form recognition was based on OCR instead of looking at source.

I would think such a cases could further be protected against by: "traditional software" that does checks using a misleading malicious keywords dictionary, separate LLMs optimized to recognize malicious intent or simply: a human in the loop that checks everything before clicking "action/submit" just like he/she would without using AI. Think of "tab tab tab" in Cursor.

Maybe once things become very autonomous (no human in the loop) and the AI task becomes very broad (like "run my company for me") you could more easily run into trouble. However I would think sound business processes/checks (by humans) would prevent things from going haywire. Human-run businesses can fall victims to bad actors, including their own employees and outside influence on them: there are systems in place to prevent that, which mostly work.

Long story short: there's probably a balance between the amount of autonomy of a (group of) AI agent(s) and how much humans are in the loop. For now.

Once AI agents become more intelligent than humans (a few years from now?). All bets are off, but by then "bad human actors trying to trick AI" are possibly the least of our worries?
Moreover, if you have an issue with OSS software and have competent people in your own IT team, they could attempt to fix the problem and get results faster than going through the whole incident-report-blame-the-victim-finally-have-them-confirm-your-repro-wait-for-next-version-release-which-hopefully-includes-the-fix ordeal.
Then if you contribute the fix back to the project, the community of users benefits as well, with possible free publicity for your organization to boot.
Then make it a one-time purchase valid for 3 or 5 years and after that customers need to pay again. Kind of in the middle between strict one-time only and classic SaaS that auto-renews.

Or: before SaaS we used to have the model of one-time purchase + annual maintenance fee (which was a small percentage of purchase, like 5-10%). The benefits of the "maintenance fee" to be defined by you. But it used to include updates of software and in enterprise context often support.

Some markets could have more lemons that other. An insurance adjuster tell me that most of his interventions with towed Teslas were for cars refusing to start by electric issues and that a lot of the Teslas seen by him were second hand vehicles imported from other countries. The guy disliked the brand a lot. I assume that those weren't the best models if the first owner get rid of them.
Hard pass. There is a lot of software I am forced to run without wanting to involve myself with it. If your tool is so complex to warrant a need for a full programming language in its config files, to me that smells of another issue, but generally I just want a set of knobs to tweak behaviour.

I’m so over having to learn Go templates for a metrics exporter, or the need to write booleans as True or False for python apps, or some obscure Erlang syntax for RabbitMQ, or the batshit crazy APT config file syntax, or Apache's weird XML files… Just settle for a simple format and offer to load custom modules for those that need them.
It is, yet it is a new thing to claim rationality, yet still base most decisions on fantasy.
Citation needed? I use vscodium explicitly for its license, but my friends and coworkers who use vscode don't use collaboration features and copilot anyway and could use vscodium as well if they cared. What sells vscode is that it's a nice extensible cross platform IDE filling a niche between "just use vim" and "full blown jetbrains IDE for every language that you use".
Ask HN: My Boss Offers $100k Reward to Hack or Modify His Website's Data
My boss, who operates in the grey industry (not in Europe or the US), runs an online entertainment platform that includes sports betting, etc.

I’ve been searching online and found some information that I hope will help me modify the betting content. For example, I want to change a “buy big” bet to a “buy small” bet.

The data I’ve collected suggests that SQLi and BOLA are the directions I should research.

I would greatly appreciate any valuable advice from everyone. Which direction should I take to accomplish this task?

I also hope to find someone who can collaborate with me on this project.

Very sorry, my native language is not English.
Thank you for your valuable time.

> excellent, then they won't have an issue with losing their export markets to tariffs, because they can just sell their EVs to the "insatiable demand" of the local consumers.

Maybe simply turn every token input t into a tensor of shape 2x1 and use t[0] for the original input and set t[1] to either 0 or 1 depending on whether it is a command or data. Then train the thing and punish it when it responds to data.
I'll offer some unsolicited rankings here for these:

Level of fun/addictiveness: Factorio<<<----, Shenzhen I/O, TIS-100, Nandgame, nand2tetris

Best story: Tossup for Shenzhen I/O and TIS-100, Factorio, nand2tetris, nandgame

Best order if you've never coded and want to get tricked into becoming an engineer: Factorio (but hard limit yourself here to no more than 2000 hours), then TIS-100, then Shenzhen I/O, then the Nands. I think Nand2tetris is more accessible as a learning tool.

Upshot - I highly recommend this list. :) Space Age (the Factorio DLC) has me wanting to do nand2tetris in Factorio now. Resisting..
Cao table is just (not talking blockchain) a list of what you did so you know who owns what. Your ownership is a pie and it goes between you/founders, staff (esop), advisors, levels of investors till it changes up to IPO.

You f your cap table doing deals- mostly with investors. They get to eat the pie if you are not looking (pref shares with economic rights) and by deciding who eats the pie (control rights).

I made a detailed free cap table (I made more than one... old one might be easier to learn from) so you do 'better than your lawyer' in seed/s-a.

You don't want an Excel sheet if you scale to 100 staff (software), but you need to learn cap tables (and esop) so when stuff is in software you know.

You should and can use a lawyer wherever you do a transaction (they can use mine up to a point). Put the liability on them for getting things correct.

I would keynotes on every deal done. I would note them so you know of any terms in case you want to do analysis.
Can't remember what is in what sheet, but some of my sheets let you scenario plan.

I'm happy to answer any qu to support ecosystem.

Wafer Scale – Trilogy Systems: Part 2
Most modern video container formats support arbitrary frame durations, using a 'presentation timestamp' on each frame. After all, loads of things these days use streaming video, where you need to handle dropped frames gracefully.

Of course, not every video player supports them well. Which is kinda understandable, I can see how expecting 30 frames per second from a 30fps video would make things a lot simpler, and work right 99.9% of the time.
On the contrary (though it may not be everyone's case), my reading is better off with the presence of these shortform formats. By just going through these "trailers" I can now easily filter out the books that I should actually be reading, while still retaining the core ideas of those that I'd rather not read fully. It is doing wonders for discoverability in the right hands.
JPEG-2000 may have poisoned the well. I still, for some irrational reason, get a flashback of it whenever JPEG XL is mentioned.

Maybe JPEG earned that with pushing a deliberately patent infested codec with horrible proprietary implementations? And at the time when the god damn GIF patents were causing grief, and h.264 trolls were on the rise.
You don't read many old books, do you? The most popular stories of the 19th century -- consider Maupassant, Victor Hugo, Dostoyevsky, Dickens, etc. -- were set in the real world of that same era. Even the pulp fiction of that era, the "penny dreadfuls," were generally gothic stories set in the real world.

This is quite nice, as it allows you to learn a lot about history by reading books from that time. It almost gives you an immersive sense of history, in a way.

Even the oldest legends of Europe -- Arthur, Holger Danske, Orlando Furioso, the 8th century BC Iliad, and I could go on -- ostensibly concerned themselves with the real world. (And, to strengthen Greer's point, often contained noble Saracens and other villains.)

Same goes for Asia, by the way. The great legends of Asia -- from the Three Kingdoms, to the Water Margin, to the Tale of Heike -- were at least nominally "real." Not concerned with imaginary worlds.

The myths we create today are qualitatively different in straightforward and obvious ways.
Important because precise communication matters in engineering. I don't mean "embarrassing" in the sense of an in-group, I mean it in the sense that misunderstandings cause engineering mixups that are trivially avoided by clear communication
Yes.

For some people it might look far fetched at first, but considering that women only got full voting rights around a few decades ago in most western countries, and are still far from there in so many countries, humans getting different rights is still totally a thing.
Goodhart's law can diagnose an issue, but it prescribes no solutions.

However, it's still better to recognise a problem, so you can at least look into ways of improving the situation.
> So a world divided into writes and write-nots is more dangerous than it sounds. It will be a world of thinks and think-nots. I know which half I want to be in, and I bet you do too.

I'd disagree with "half" here because I can't imagine it being anywhere close to 50/50. I expect a power law distribution: most won't be able to write well. The ones who do will have a massive advantage, in the same way that those who can concentrate in our age of distractions have a significant advantage over those who can't.
Playing with trains on a track.
People have been dealing with garbage word processor programs, publishing editors, and even doing documents in vector graphics editors. Imagine using an editor that just uses HTML + CSS under the hood, it's not that far from proprietary XML formats. If these features were standard, one could create such an editor and allow its output to be viewed everywhere.

Besides, I think this is cool. Someone saw a problem and solved it. I think it looks better too. Now, if only italics were properly spaced from normal text... but that's available in CSS.
In Australia the seats in the upper house of Parliament are strictly divided between the States with each receiving 12 seats regardless of their relative populations (two territories which are not proper states also receive 2 seats each). I suspect some other countries may have a similar federal model where there is some kind of barrier to stop larger states from being predatory towards smaller states. If you check wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalism) you can see some other countries like Argentina have a similar model to Australia. I think in Australia there was probably similar historical reasons for the Senate as the Electoral College in the USA. The colonies in Australia were self-governing and then decided to create a central government and the Senate was a way to give the smaller colonies confidence they wouldn't be taken advantage of in the future.
Reading and writing are essential for the transfer and percolation of knowledge across society.

Stephen Hawking's thinking and imagination wouldn't have meant much had he not finally penned them down for others to read, and neither would his ideas have been taken seriously had he chosen to make tiktoks or podcasts to explain them instead.
But for most of the rest of us in practice I suspect that it is more true than false.

Most of us have neither the intellect of Hawking nor his situation.
> That writing is the only way to do deep, clear, thinking simply isn't true.

You're correct here.

> Stephen Hawking is the first example that comes to mind.

The post is obviously speaking of the general population or at best average professional, and in my opinion choosing one of the most brilliant exceptional scientific minds of our lifetimes is not a good counterargument for a piece that speaks of a potential problem with society at large.
I don't mean to give negative feedback, as I don't consider myself a full-blown expert with Python/ML, however, for someone with passing experience, it fails out of the box for me, with and without the typically required 16Hz bit rate audio files (of various codecs/formats).

Was really hoping it would be a quick, brilliant solution to something I'm working on now, perhaps I'll dig in and invest in it, but I'm not sure I have the luxury right now to do the exploratory work... Hope someone else has better luck than I!
The insanity of worrying about capitalism while the planet dies instead of worrying about the planet while capitalism dies.

18th century economics are not the endgame. There are many other ways to organize societies that existed before and will again.

Infinite growth in a closed system isn’t a sensible objective and Adam Smiths work has been horribly misunderstood simply because doing so benefits an elite.
Jellyfin 10.10.0
It’s really interesting how tech has had a lot of special exemptions from rules that apply to normal businesses, and how these are being rolled back slowly.

On the face of it, having a product security obligation doesn’t seem too extreme, since most manufactured goods and service offerings operate under similar rules.

I’m a bit worried that the “move fast, break things” mindset in SaaS startups isn’t going to be easy to change, and that, in the context of product liability, might have big impacts on future profitability and valuations too.
I think your experience is interesting, because it seems like approximately the same small fraction of individuals as companies commit to "vertically integrated software"--that is you own everything top to bottom. That is to say almost nobody does it. For an individual that's excusable, it's a mountain of expertise and effort, although I imagine it pays off rather well in skills learning. For a company, not so much. Companies (and governments) have the ability to acquire the expertise they need to vertically integrate. Some do so when they see value in it, but it's rare. Why do so few make the choice?
I still play games but I lost my ability to “lost myself in time” while playing games, what you’re describing does not happen to me anymore. And I dearly miss it.
I Built an AI Tool for Influencer Outreach
Just wanted to share this cool project I built that I hope can turn into something bigger

Basically, AI creates a brand profile based only on a website URL

It uses a combination of 3 social media APIs and some scraping to aggregate influencer data with keywords from the brand site (this was very hard to do at low cost!)

Then it checks profiles individually and scores them based on content performance, audience demographics, and brand-fit

Finally, it auto-contacts the highest scorers on behalf of the brand, so basically brand owners just get positive replies from qualified influencers

I'm really hoping the price point will make influencer marketing more accessible for small to medium sized brands who don't have dedicated marketing departments.

Especially because you can get some insane ROI output with micro influencers in particular.

Any case thanks for reading and there's a no-card trial if it sounds interesting to anyone!

Very open to feedback as well, cheers
52 911 bytes instead of 53 kB is really not that far off.

And your AVIF is certainly not without visual changes. The colours are off and there is visible ringing.
Wonder where the training data for this is.
The tone is snarky and condescending, which already means it can't be taken seriously. Your initial comment struggles with the same issue to a lesser extent.
I work in the health sector at a company with nearly 1,000 employees. In our IT department, we rely on a wide range of proprietary software and spend substantial amounts on Oracle, MS SQL, and other licenses. I’ve been trying to convince management that PostgreSQL could be a solid alternative for many of our use cases, but it’s consistently dismissed as “not an option.”

Meanwhile, we continue to pour money into Oracle licenses, not just for basic access but for additional features—like enabling data reading and analysis on the Oracle-embedded database in our main app. And, if we need to allocate more CPU cores on our VMs, we face yet another round of licensing fees.

Sometimes you don’t need much support. Yet pay tons of money.
Another way to solve for clients that stick with an IP after resolving is to use a combination of DNS RR and Anycast (if you have control over the physical infra). That means you resolve with RR to an IP in the regional data center and then use Anycast for local delivery. That way if the server goes down these clients can continue to operate.
You missed the point entirely. This is basic stuff that all designers work with.
