> 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.

Now suppose that the other artist studies to learn the techniques -- several of them do -- and then Adobe offers them each two cents and a french fry to train a model on it, which many accept because the alternative is that the model exists anyway and they don't even get the french fry. Is this more ethical somehow? Even if you declined the pittance, you still have to compete with the model. Even if you accept it, it's only a pittance, and you still have to compete with the model. It hasn't improved your situation whatsoever.

> 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.

AI slop is in the nature of "80% as good for 20% of the price" except that it's more like 40% as good for 0.0001% of the price. What that's going to do is put any artists below the 40th percentile out of work, make it a lot harder for the ones at the 60th percentile and hardly affect the ones at the 99th percentile at all.

But the other thing it's going to do is cause there to be more "art". A lot of the sites with AI-generated images on them haven't replaced a paid artist, they've replaced a site without images on it. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
> I feel like I'm populating a database then doing queries on it. So it feels like SQL

I'm not sure what database technology/data storage that doesn't involve doing those two things to get started.

I haven't done any Prolog, but Datalog which is similar and focused on querying data, and the benefits of Datalog for me is that you can write complex/medium-complex queries a lot easier than in SQL, at least for me. Simpler queries are just less characters, but pretty much the same beyond that.

Probably helps that the Clojure ecosystem embraced Datalog so it mostly feels like writing Clojure code although it's really Datalog. You don't get that same feeling regardless of what SQL library/DSL you use.
Yes cutting $2T is not realistic. If they manage to do a few percent of the goal it is still going to be good for everyone.

I've coded some myself, and have used some... but it depends on where you draw the line.

I'd consider Python's f-string syntax a DSL of sorts.

YAML might be considered a simple DSL, if you don't consider it a language/format instead. It's a bit more than 2-3 pages, but it's not hundreds of pages. And a simplified version could be constructed with <10 pages.

Similar to YAML, but for Markdown. I'd call that a DSL too, and it's even simpler than YAML.

Then, something more tiered as: CSV, JSON, TOML, INI, AsciiDoc

Once you're in the short form, it's a bit blurry what's a format, what's a DSL, and what is a language.

I suspect that it would be unlikely to come up with it because it requires execution of a fairly lengthy algorithm (or sophisticated mathematical reasoning) to find the smallest/largest valid numbers in the range. You can verify this for yourself with the following ChatGPT prompt: "What is the smallest number in the range (1, 100000) whose digits sum to 30? Do not execute separate code."

It's been a while since I've looked at the literature on RSA prime generation, but I seem to remember that picking a random starting point and iterating until you find a prime is discouraged because primes aren't evenly distributed so key generation timing could reveal some information about your starting point and eventual prime choice.

I'm not sure how realistic of an issue this is given the size of the primes involved. Even if an attacker can extract sensitive enough timing information to figure out exactly how many iterations were required to find a 1024 bit prime from a 1204 bit random starting point, I'm not aware of a good way to actually find either value. You do also introduce a bias since you're more likely to select prime numbers without a close neighbor in the direction you are iterating from, but again I'm not sure how practical an attack on this bias would be.

Still, to avoid any potential risk there I seem to remember best practice being to just randomly generate numbers of the right size until you find a prime one. With the speed of modern RNGs, generating a fresh number each time vs iterating doesn't seem like a significant penalty.

Sea of words would probably do well as a companion but I think for understanding you'd be better off with just an illustrated sailing manual like royce's or the annapolis book.

He was a good writer who understood he was writing for a modern audience and had a plan about it. The royal navy period social stuff is explained in detail as it becomes relevant. Sometimes things are mentioned without being explained, but he always fills in a detail before it actually matters for the plot.

The sailing specific jargon though there is just too much and a lot of it you can functionally treat as technobabble and the books read fine. I think having knowledge of the points of sail and their dynamics is the main thing he assumes that is actually important for following the action.
True. And that is a step forward.
I notice that they make the plan, and THEN write the code in the same forward pass/generation sequence. The challenge here is that all of the incorrect assumptions get "lumped" into this pass and can pollute the rest of the interaction.

The initial interaction also sets the "scene" for other things, like letting the LLM know that there might be other dependencies and it should not assume behavior (common for most realistic software tasks).

Not even just questioning how referral links work, but questioning how a company makes money. I never looked into Honey, but since it wasn't obvious how they were making their money, I assumed it was something sketchy and stayed away from it. My assumption was it was the typical data harvesting and selling (once they had the extension in your browser they could track you). While I think the tracking/selling is immoral, what they did instead seems like fraud (IANAL).

I'm pretty surprised that so many YouTube creators pushed Honey without questioning how they were making money off giving away discounts. Did they not ask, or did Honey have a lie for that as well?

I guess they say it, but being owned by PayPal I'm guessing there was an assumption that the commissions weren't being stolen from other people, and the codes being provided were organic codes and not ones created for Honey by the merchant to manipulate the user into thinking they were getting the best deal, when they weren't.
Apple turning a feature on by default can only possibly be a conspiracy to surreptitiously obtain training data from people’s photos? It couldn’t just be that they think most people will want the feature?

Or maybe just different marketing strategy eg Nord costs more to begin with, and then they use "promo" deals with offer huge discounts resulting in a normal price again.
They would still get cut from those who choose to support them this way. Rest of the people would get discount. There seems to be plenty of people who click affiliate links so creators get money. Those same people would still give the cut to them wouldn't they?

xAI and X are two separate companies. xAI is raising funds with a target valuation of $40b, but that has nothing to do with X. The article you linked to makes this pretty clear and validates what I said about the 80% lost.

> The new valuation means xAI has surpassed the $44 billion Musk paid for Twitter in October 2022. X was valued at $9.4 billion by Fidelity, one of its investors, in September. The firm, which invested $19.6 million in the platform, has written down the value of its investment by nearly 79% since 2022.

Cutting 80% of the staff happened during the same time period when Fidelity dropped the evaluation by 79%. Cutting the staff doesn't seem like a good move at all.

I think the problem with a “publish first” paradigm is that it creates an enormous amount to sift through that is of unverified quality. We’re already publishing ever increasing amounts even with journal gatekeepers.

Replicating research is already difficult. Finding quality research under the publish first approach will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack and I fear considerable research will be wasted on dead ends.

This quotation appears to just replace the word "spiritual" with "sacred," another word that I find to have nebulous meaning. It contains a lot of words, but appears to be saying vanishingly little of substance. Or maybe it's just over my head.

> Being a spiritual animal means being an animal embodied with consciousness, an animal that is aware of its existence in both space AND time.

So, you're defining "spiritual" as "conscious." That's fine, but why not say "conscious"? It's clearer that way.

Under this definition, I agree that we are spiritual (conscious) animals.

But I'm willing to bet that the original poster I responded to used the word "spiritual" in a different sense than you do, which is a problem. When you both sort out what you're actually saying, let me know!

Edit to add one more point:

> But that doesn’t take away from the fact that consciousness transcends evolutionary necessity

I think the phrase "evolutionary necessity" is problematic on its own from a biological perspective, but even if we ignore that, do you have any sources for this claim?

That's the hard choice for me tbh, you explained it very well. Currently the operating costs are $0 since it's hosted entirely on Vercel's free tier, so my hope is mainly just to justify me spending a few hours a month improving it with new features and stuff.

Currently, it's hard to justify working on anything new for it since it is just a helpful web-tool, there's really no future for it beyond making it slightly more helpful for people's niche use-case. On the other hand, I don't want to ruin it for a couple bucks a month, so I need to be really careful on how I do this.
So you think taking something like the Encylopedia Britanica, running it through a simple rewording algorithm, and selling it on is totally 'fair use'?

Taking all newspaper and proper journalistic output and rewording it automatically and selling it on is also 'fair use'?

Stand back from the detail ( of whether this pixel or word is the same or not ) and look at the bigger picture. You still telling me that's all fine and dandy?

I think it's obviously not 'fair use'.

It means the people doing the actual hard graft of gathering the news, or writing Encylopedias or Textbooks won't be able to make a living so these important activities will cease.

It's sometimes surprising to me we have such a deeply ingrained way of thinking about cells in biology, maybe that's what the authors are trying to challenge??? From reading this, I got the impression we tend to think of cells as having one "natural" or "proper" function? Lung cells are "supposed to" just line airways and wave their cilia to move mucus? To me this is a bit like if we insisted that a Roomba's "natural" state was only the straight lines it makes if on a bowling alley, and viewed its more complex navigation patterns in a living room as somehow "unexpected" or "unnatural." To me it's more logicaly that cells like any complex system, will express different behaviors in different environments?
Once upon a time, as an intern, I had the 'fun' task of optimizing the performance of a stored procedure written by someone with a math phd. It was more than 6 pages when printed, and took more than 30 minutes to run (it was used in billing), and had no tests.

Ended up rewriting it in native code, and it run in less than a second. Most of the work was proving it produced same results... and writing and documenting test cases, so next person wouldn't have to go through that.

After that experience, I have generally avoided putting a lot of business logic in SQL...

>I also don't follow why you haven't stated whether you've personally tried volunteering and whether it's "worked" for you, particularly when you seem dismissive of it and seem to looking for personal reasoning from others.

I do. I did not start to distract myself from other life issues, I joined because I wanted to help the org accomplish it's mission. It's rewarding and fulfilling, but I'm not using it as a mental defense from something else in my life. Whether or not it "worked" in that sense is simply not a thing for me.

It certainly shifted a lot of my mental focus. That's why I mentioned you can lean hard into things in life as a distraction for what's consuming you. And I've certainly used that mental defense over the years, it just happened that the things I used didn't include volunteering. And over the years I've noticed through others that volunteering is a particularly good way of self-deception that you're not just employing that defense.

That's why shaming someone into volunteering when they're rudderless bothers me. It's hard to argue against because it has intrinsic value AND can work in the "the true $whatever was the friends we made along the way" sense, plus the slim chance they find a new life purpose. But also maybe it doesn't and they really should have been shamed into joining the clergy instead because that's where they would have found their calling.
It's not fighting against human nature, it's fighting against the incentives of our economic system and the people who exploit them.

You have that on mobile subscriptions usually, heavy users pay more and low usage users are not subsidizing them.

I take you are fine with paying 10x or even more for your no oversubscription Internet connection then?

Oversubscription is not gambling. The way it works after your last mile connection is that ISPs look at link usage in their network, city level distribution, city to city, transit, peering, etc, once it reaches 60-80% utilization at peak you start looking at adding more capacity. Bad ISPs (most US ISPs) will let this go too far though.
