Summary: I've got around 17 years of experience building products and leading teams. I've been in the trenches doing the scrappy MVP work, and I've also scaled things up to handle serious traffic - we're talking thousands of requests per second. Been on both sides of that fence and know what it takes at each stage.
I think that's an overly reductive way of looking at it. Artists, are by their definition, creators of art. AI-generated "art" (it's not art at all in my eyes) is effectively a machine-based reproduction of actual art, but doesn't take the same skill level, time, and passion for the craft for a user to be able to generate an output, and certainly generates large profits for those that created the models.

So, imagine the scenario where you, an artist, trained for years to develop a specific technique and style, only for a massively funded company to swoop in, train a model on your art, make bank off of your skill while you get nothing, and now some rando can also create look-alikes (and also potentially profit from them - I've seen AI-generated images for sale at physical print stores and Etsy that mimic art styles of modern artists), potentially destroying your livelihood. Very little to be happy about here, to be frank.

It's less about competition and more about the ethical way to do it. If another artist would learn the same techniques and then managed to produce similar art, do you think there would be just as visceral of a reaction to them publishing their art? Likely not, because it still required skill to achieve what they did. Someone with a model and a prompt is nowhere near that same skill level, yet they now get to reap the benefits of the artist's developed craft. Is this "gatekeeping what's art"? I don't think so. Is this fair in any capacity? I don't think so either. Because we're comparing apples to pinecones.

All that being said, I do agree that the ship has sailed - the models are there, the trend of training on art AND written content shared openly will continue, and we're yet to see what the consequences of that will be. Their presence certainly won't stop me from continuously writing, perfecting my craft, and sharing it with the world. My job is to help others with it.

My hunch is that in the near-term we'll see a major devaluing of both written and image material, while a premium will be put on exceptional human skill. That is, would you pay to read a blog post written and thoroughly researched by Molly White (https://mastodon.social/@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io) or Cory Doctorow (https://pluralistic.net/), or some AI slop generated by an automated aggregator? My hunch is you'd pick the former. I know I would. As an anecdotal data point, and speaking just for myself, if I see now that someone uses AI-generated images in their blog post or site, I almost instantly close the tab. Same applies to videos on YouTube that have an AI-generated thumbnail or static art. It somehow carries a very negative connotation to me.
From website perspective, yes. GP is likely using extreme ad-blocking and/or coming from regions where tons of bots and/or unwanted traffic are also from. In those cases, some/many human users could be misidentified as bots with little incentives to website admins to rectify.

And it's discriminatory, yes.
“Just enough to give you options” means you choose how much you need to own, and once you have the domain you can choose the rest. Back your data up, choose tech you can move. The point is that you don’t need to buy every single piece of infrastructure. Compare any of this to ruling your business purely on any platform whose domain you don’t own.

They've made good changes after community backlash but their core business model is mostly middle-man stuff with a splash of crypto on top. Firefox's is the Google search engine deal. Pick your poison, I guess.
Considering they received their start through the patronage of the Ottoman Emperor, I doubt that, else that element would have been erased from their history. Turks, maybe not, but Ottomans they were.

They moved the business to the US before the genocide though (and in good time too!), so not sure how they would have been affected.
That's not the only way if you are the one designing the hardware. Even if you can't make a radio that can listen on multiple bands, you can add a second radio.
As you note, it would be defeatable by putting your phone into airplane mode. However, if you're having a party with 30 people, I doubt you'll be able to get a majority of them to turn off their phones. If the owner gets ping'd if there are more than 10 people, I think it'd be hard to get 20 out of 30 people to turn off their phones before entering the party. Even if they turn it off after arriving, the box might have already registered that the device was there. I think enough people would think "what's the harm" or "I don't want to miss texts from people" that it would be hard to get people to comply with turning off their phones.
It doesn't change the legislature's power; they were and still are free to write detailed regulations into law. It just shifted the power in cases of less-specific regulations away from the executive and to the courts. The courts are every bit as capable as the executive of making tortured interpretations of law, and to some extent are required to do so by stare decisis.
Let me expand on what I meant:
Some folks treat GitHub stars as a repo quality or credibility endorsement.

I also think stars should just be bookmarks - but some companies are obsessed with the star count (stargazers) as a sign of importance of their repo. Since that is obviously what sparked this research we are discussing to begin with.. just meant to point out that a lot of folks new to GitHub have no idea anyone could possibly care about the repo star count! :)

This happened to me so often that I made a git pre-commit hook to catch it: https://github.com/nobssoftware/nocommit for the word NOCOMMIT

Includes a GitHub CI action to prevent merging it in to master

It has caught so many of these mistakes for me…
This! I've played with wezterm and ghostty but haven't been able to get this working there, so I keep coming back to iTerm2 for this exact feature - so that prod servers have a red background, etc.

They have a solid business. It's just not the world-changing fantastic future that Musk talks a big game about. That's fine. But "solid business" is not what has manufactured Tesla's ridiculous market cap.

The Google track your location history thing is true. You can confirm by using Google takeout to extract your location history.

The microphone thing is false. You can try the takeout feature (or equivalent) across multiple providers to confirm that.
It might not help directly with digital, but if you get on the phone to sell something that gives a sort of fundamental understanding of sales that can inspire plans for other avenues of sales and marketing
The definiton is probably not $country == "China" but a lot closer to $country != "America".
Many mobile apps use an adtech SDK which does on-device audio keyword spotting.
The company making this SDK is super secretive, so not much information about it.
If you use KDE, then you already understand that having other peoples opinions forced on you doesn't always work.

You probably don't need iTerm because the KDE (and the Gnome tbh) consoles are so much better than the built-ins that come with Mac and Windows.
I assume you never worked in academia. Sometimes hpc are installed by researchers (incl myself) as there is no budget for IT staff.
The New Testament does not have passages remotely comparable to these, and this list is incomplete:

Surah 2:191, 3:28, 3:85, 5:33, 8:12, 8:60, 8:65, 9:5, 9:30, 9:123, 22:19, 47:4.

Also, Jesus didn't "attack" anyone. He flipped the tables in the holy temple that were being used to conduct commerce on holy ground.
Information freedom is merely an ideal not a right. It is an ideal by techno-optimists. But there is no legal basis for information to be free. Indeed I agree with you that the idea of copyright contradicts the idea of information freedom. And guess what, copyright is in our constitution, and information freedom is not.

Furthermore, there is also no legal basis in differentiating copyright by the budget involved to produce the work.
That is simply not true. I donate a little under 1k a month, there are many like me. Mozilla is not an org that I would feel comfortable funding given the perverse incentives that they have aligned themselves with.
It is very easy, I have used it on various projects including chats, live dynamic dash boards, prompters and games. The SSE setup took less than a day, never had issues with sync. Never lost messages during disconnection or any issues.

I don’t know how you’ve been using SSE, but if you’ve had all these issues you must have been doing something very wrong.
I still get a rush with a new server on the internet!!! (especially my latest host: 12 core new gen epyc instances with 48G RAM.)

I've built successful products (https://chatgptwriter.ai and more) and here's what works for me:

Step 1: Offer your product for free. Free (and useful) products spread organically on internet. If people aren't using your product even when it's free, no amount of marketing will make it successful.

Step 2: If people are "consistently" using your free product over time, you can then offer additional value at a price or try any other pricing strategy.

Not all products can be offered for free, and that's okay. It's worth spending some money initially (if you can) because your primary goal is to reach Step 2.
Boo fucking hoo. Oh, pity me, I'm rich and sad. What ever will I do with all my money that will make me happy?

You don't need purpose, you need perspective.

It’s not an issue, I’ve had processes running for days without issues.
Yeah, "incorrect PRF read" is something that might exist.

I know modern CPUs will sometimes schedule uops that consume the result of load instruction, with the assumption the load will hit L1 cache. If the load actually missed L1, it's not going to find out until that uop tries to read the value coming in from L1 over the bypass network. So that uop needs to be aborted and rescheduled later. And I assume this is generic enough to catch any "incorrect forwarding", because there are other variable length instructions (like division) that would benefit from this optimistic scheduling.

But my gut is to only have these checks on the bypass network, and only ever schedule PRF reads after you know the correct value has been stored.
In the grand scheme of things and at this point, it probably doesn't matter. I know for me it certainly is not in any shape a discouragement to continue writing on my blog and contributing code to open source communities (my own and others).

But if we're going to dig into this a bit, one person reading my code, internalizing it, processing it themselves, tweaking it and experimenting with it, and then shipping something transformative means that I've enhanced the knowledge of some individual with my work. It's a win. They got my content for free, as I intended it to be, and their life got a tiny bit better because of it (I hope).

The opposite of that is some massively funded company taking my content, training a model off of it, and then reaping profits while the authors don't even get as much as an acknowledgement. You could theoretically argue that in the long-run, a LLM would likely help other people through my content that it trained on, but ethically this is most definitely a more-than-gray area.

The (good/bad) news is that this ship has sailed and we now need to adjust to this new mode of operation.
Honestly, it sounds like an anti-feature or a crutch.

I think maybe you're just ignoring half of what I'm saying. I think today's ISPs are offering telecommunications services (by virtue of owning the last-mile physical infrastructure), usually with some information services on top. I simply refuse to pretend that putting both under the same price tag makes the telecommunications service stop existing in the eyes of the law.

You wish I was making a wrong determination of mutually-exclusive A vs B, when I'm arguing for A+B over B with magically disappearing A.
I just want to sing some praises for iterm2. I've been using it for work and fun for many years now and will continue to use it and send a donation again as I did once before.
My guess to your question would be that perhaps there is the belief, or maybe data proves it factual, that when someone is considering a purchase and might be on the fence and then they see that Honey can get them a coupon or rewards points that they are then slightly more likely to go through with the purchase thinking they are getting a good deal. If data shows an increase in sales then some might consider affiliating worth it. Just my guess.
Had something similar happen to me. I wanted a mid sized ladder. Didn't search for it or even tell anyone that I was looking for a ladder but suddenly started getting a bunch of ads for ladders. Eventually I figured out that when I went hiking a few days earlier, I forgot to turn off my Fitbit after I got done. On the way home, I stopped at Walmart and looked at the ladders they had. I could see on my Fitbit account my path through the state park and through the Walmart, including the section with the ladders that I dwelled in front of for a while. That was enough to trigger some set of parameters somewhere and get me ladder advertisements.
We need a name for this genre of companies. Their value proposition is completely based on you not knowing that the noise monitors they feature centrally in their strawman argument have also had their core feature for years.

Minut is the example I’m thinking of. It’s a small sensor for short term rentals that monitors noise levels, but also “crowd risk”, which is essentially measuring the number of devices nearby in the same way that this thing is. It also has a variety of other sensors onboard (it detects motion, humidity, and smoking… it can even distinguish between cigarette and marijuana smoke.)

Whatever you think about this technology aside, this company’s pitch that they are the “first guest occupancy counter” is a flat out lie. They are simply focusing their positioning on one feature available in an existing category of products that have a lot more to offer.
One of the top comments on BSky shows they got it back up fairly quickly. Try that when running on Google, say. If your business is on YouTube and they decide you’re dead, you’re dead.

“But also, as someone who relies on your site, thank you so much for handling this in such a quick and effective way. Waking up and seeing that the site is already back up despite this all makes me proud and grateful to be on itchio.”

Point is that you can choose your own adventure in a way that eclipses fully relying on another company. Beyond that, you can choose to own as many layers as you want and stop long before building your own hardware and fiber network.
Living Amongst the Ruins
Pretty sure I saw a couple of party detection devices shown on some netflix airBnb creators show like 8(?) years ago.
(show had a firehouse in DC revamp, then another episode with a california(?) 70's pad with 70s furniture, decor, pool.. definitely the kind of place you may want to party, yet the owners were hesitant to list it if they could not prevent that...

I believe they used a combination of sound dB meters and carbon monoxide detectors to determine approx number of people and how loud they were.

Sounds like this thing is another interesting way to gauge similar activities, which is interesting, but I would shy away from calling it first.

Maybe 'unapproved gathering detection alerts you if too many cell phones are detected on or near your property' - I dunno.
> Probably needs to develop a soul first.

More generally, if you cultivate yourself you will get more pleasure from your activities. If you take time to learn an instrument, or listen to classical, or gardening (you can grow exotic plants for example), learn a new language, or anything else. The more you put into refining your appreciation and knowledge, the more value you can get back from your activities. It's a self cultivation problem.
> He can also disable your car remotely if you mess around with the innards too much

And will.

Like if you poke around and find the existence of a new model car...

They'll remotely force downgrade your firmware, and remotely disable ports on your car so you can't upgrade it again.

> Or otherwise target you for harassment if you annoy him.

Or hold press conferences if you are in a fatal accident to make sure you get the blame, not whatever garbage happened to pass for Full Self Driving. And blatantly lie in the process. "The vehicle had been warning the driver about inattentiveness before the accident". No, Elon, the vehicle fired ONE "hand on steering wheel" warning, and it was EIGHTEEN MINUTES before the accident.
REMOTE | UNITY | CONSULTANT/DEVELOPER | VIDEO GAME MODDING

Hiring a consultant Unity developer to initially advise on a new project in March/April with the long term work either just consultation, management or full time development afterwards.

We rely heavily on modding and extracting data from the video game Football Manager which is being rewritten in the Unity engine for its latest version slated for release in March or April 2025.

We are looking for a Unity expert to help assess the new game and identify possible modding capabilities as soon as it is released and then work together to make a long term plan to mod the game.

We are open to working with a long term solo developer or creating a team of individuals. Until the game is released we will not know the full requirements. However we would like to have someone available to get started on the day of release, hence the flexibility of being just consultancy initially.

100% remote and flexible on hours.

Please reach out to contact@gamesnook.net
Looking at the replies here, I am not even sure how to react, it seems this community overall is going into a sad direction that just blames instead of trying to think of solutions.

Most of them are just entitled and aggressive for absolutely no reason.

It's perfectly fine to want to switch, or try something else, but to think other projects couldn't have issues is just naive to say it gently.
Event search engine/aggregator for Australia
Hi everyone! I've built an event search engine/aggregator for Australia that brings together every type of event, and not just music, from different sources, and displays additional info including social media posts for quick review. As an event-goer myself, I've found myself missing out on events because I couldn't keep up with checking multiple social media and different platforms, so I created this solution hoping it could help others too.
I've seen several posts in this subreddit asking about events pages and thought to share here and probably other city subreddits as well to better understand if I'm on the right track and how this website works for residents in different cities (if it works at all). I know you might have some favorite websites already, but are they missing any features that I could add to my website to help you better?
This is my first solo project, and I know there might be some shortcomings or bugs, and it's not perfect yet. I would really appreciate your opinions and suggestions for features you'd like to see, or things you hate. I'm not here to advertise (I'm already running ads on google, tiktok, and handing out flyers), but rather hoping to get genuine (and probably brutal) feedback from the community. Thank you all!
You can explicitly move old content to an archive and put big banners on it that it doesn't reflect current information. MS does an OK job of making it obvious that you're looking at documentation for an older product, for example.

Taking out the "training a model" part, the same thing could happen with a human at the company.
What kind of information do you think would allow you to make the market of the phones substantially different than it is now?

If you think the problem is information, the sales of iPhones is about $200 billion per year. I am pretty sure that whatever is the information you are thinking about, it is possible to deliver it to the vast majority of the customer base for the small fraction of this sum. Which would allow to capture if not the whole market, than the significant portion of it - billions-sized portion. Why do you think nobody thought about doing it before you?
It offers significantly more flexibility and freedom compared to any social network. If your data is "hijacked" (not sure that that means in this context, but let's assume the host terminated your account), you can spin up another hosting account on one of the many hosting providers and point your domain to it. That's it (not to say that it's that trivial for large sites, but that's the gist of it).

If your account on a major social network is terminated, if you had a large community there, you have quite literally no way to access them unless you had some kind of parallel presence somewhere else.
Maybe so, but in this specific instance, it was Ottoman Sultan Mustafa I who bestowed the last name to the cymbal-maker Avedis.
Ah yes, the perfectly sane response and the perfect solution to everything.
A change in surname is not necessary, just a transition from no surname to surname, which happened relatively recently in many places, or from explicit parentage descriptions ("X son of Y", etc.) to inherited family names.

So I am working with a new company that has a ton of graphql queries. What I wanted to do was write an integration test for them in the fastest and easiest way possible.

I don't want to sit and read each query to identity where it is in the user flow. So I was thinking if I run this in the background and go through a happy flow, I can get the APIs in order and write an integration test.
It is more insidious to scan all the SSIDs within the RF sightline of a device than it is to install a GNSS receiver in the laptop. It means that not only do they get all the SSIDs but that they have also triangulated some of those SSIDs. You are also giving up the location privacy of everything you can see.
