Even if OpenAI does not use these materials to directly train its models, OpenAI can collect or construct more data based on the knowledge points and test points of these questions to gain an unfair competitive advantage.
It's like before the Gaokao, a teacher reads some of the Gaokao questions and then marks the test points in the book for you. This is cheating.
I'm not sure but I kind of doubt houses are built out of wood entirely because of costs. I live in SV so I assume anyone who owns a house is ultra-rich, but they're all wood.

OK.

Yes. The thinking was: displays are all around you already. Why not build an ambient computing platform. If it replaces infrastructure in your home it needs to provide enough value. I think we’ve covered that now, but it’s taken a few years.

My favorites were actually DOS TUIs, where for some reason blue became a commonly used background color for a lot of things (e.g. Norton Commander, many Borland products, FoxPro...).
I don't disagree with that at all. I never said that insecure unique identifiers weren't useful for tracking. What I said is that a cryptographically system is superior to an insecure system for the purposes of surveillance, because the ability to track is the same, and the quality of data is higher. From this I concluded that surveillance doesn't make sense as a motive for this particular transit market sticking with an older, insecure system.

Your analogy is poor for at least two reasons:

1. Transit cards are generally hidden inside a pocket and can only be read when read by specific machines in close proximity. Whereas number plates are designed to be on display and readable by human eyes from medium distances, or from publicly (or privately) owned cameras over long distances.

2. Your unspoken but implied alternative to the highly trackable number plate is no number plate. Whereas this discussion is discussing a cryptographically insecure transit card as an alternative to a cryptographically secure transit card.
It's very standardized (SI), meaning 1/10:th. Althought not so commonly used with seconds.

You might be more familiar with decimeters, deciliters, decibels or the base-10 (decimal) numbering system.
I’m surprised at the length of this gag, drawing on what seemed to me to be a particularly robust Wikipedia entry. Is the point that the article strikes you as juvenile, or that you feel like it unfairly makes touristic spectacle of something more complex than the treatment here reflects?

And without intending offense—is this a work of LLM? I’m curious because of the earnestly, completeness, and the slight flavor of “how do you do, fellow kids” in lines like “Talk about a plot twist!”

If you buy a Prusa in non-kit form, it's not any harder to unbox or operate, and more reliable, while generally achieving somewhat better results. Without phoning home and while maintaining the software Bambu forked theirs from.

A recent review coming to a similar conclusion was Maker Muse' review of bedslingers.

It's a channel I respect a lot, because he has over the years relentlessly disclosed emails of companies trying to bribe or lean on him, or threaten him, and refused to play along.

Most other 3D printing content is essentially paid advertising -- including, I suspect, the carefully constructed brand narrative of Bambu as the first "fire and forget" printers, as if they somehow elevated the art form, when really the user experience is not substantially different.

You do not need to tinker or problem-solve with other modern well-reviewing printers, nor do they fail more prints. My MK4 hasn't failed a single print in a year (i.e. since I bought it), and I haven't had to do any sort of maintenance.
Flipping the image sometimes doesn't sound that bad. IIRC it's common for JPEGs to have rotation metadata, because sometimes you want to rotate or flip a camera image and you don't want to recompress it when you do.
I enjoy the full brightness of the display when it calls for it, when watching videos or video games, when the screen isn't 99% full-on white pixels. I also enjoy the crispness and contrast of white text on a dark background when the display brightness is at maximum. No, I do not enjoy using a display at low brightness, and I really don't like being blasted by full-on white background with dark text on it all day every day.

SCOTUS explicitly affirmed that as the rule.

Ask HN: What license a SaaS company should use when open-source their software?
Hi HNers,

I've developed a low code CMS and Ecommerce SaaS platform (similar to WordPress) that supports 3rd party apps/plugins/templates. To make it easier for developers/freelancers/agencies to create custom apps/plugins/template, I've decided to make the source of the base CMS system available but one thing I'm really concerned is to choose the appropriate license for the software.

I think most open source licenses were created before SaaS era so they do not really fit SaaS business model where direct competition to the platform is not preferred. We can see the recent drama between WordPress and WP Engine as an example, another example is Elastic Search and AWS which has led to AWS forking and promoting OpenSearch instead. Cases like these may discourage the founders/developers from contributing more to the software and divide the community into different groups which is something most founders try to avoid. I've explored SaaS friendly licenses such as MongoDB's Server Side Public License or ElasticSearch's Elastic License 2.0 but both licenses are not considered open source license by the OSI standards, moreover they are still ambiguous and may create more confusion to anyone wanting to use the software.

I just want other developers to use the software to create custom plugins/apps or make web/mobile apps for their clients, they may even provide hosting for their clients as part of their development service (this is not considered direct competition if the hosting fee is 30% or less of the total charge) but I do not want someone to just take the code and simply provide mass hosting for it (this is direct competition). What license do you guys think it will work for my case? I would prefer to utilize an existing license that is associated with a well-established software project. I am not inclined to use or create a new license, as this would require developers and companies to assess the license before proceeding with its use.
Presidents can pardon classes of people. Carter pardoned all people guilty of evading the draft during the Vietnam War. So Trump could pardon everyone involved in certain companies or involved in a specific act.
I'm not buying this drivel - the company stands to make way more than one rushed and limited buyout would garner.

Your argument is a false dichotomy, and it's made in bad faith. You argue that they should have taken a 10B pay day, meanwhile they are alive today and arguable worth over 100B.
I bought an A1 after years of fiddling with an Ender. It made 3D printing fun again.

The whole situation reminds me of drones. DJI is (maybe) questionable but their products are without competition when you look at price and quality. Bambu products are also fantastic.

On second thought TP-Link fits too. My TP-Link mesh network just works perfectly. So do their smart plugs.
Oh maybe the very clear messaging in the app and by the inbound administration, who is heavily supported by tech elites.

Here's another quirky angle: I am developing a C#-based virtual Forth machine (https://github.com/Eccentric-Anomalies/AMC-Forth) that can be embedded in games made with the Godot engine. I am using it as the FMS for a spacecraft sim game that is my main project (https://tungstenmoon.com/)
Currently it's on sales at Leanpub with $19.80 but apparently the ebook with the Golang code is $39:

"just" wartime stockpiling. Sit and look at that for a while. Anyhoo, the last time there was a stockpile in Coal I took notice of, it was Margaret Thatcher, ahead of the forseeable strike by the miners. She won, a lot off the back of the huge stockpile, which the miners strike fund couldn't prevent making their pickets somewhat irrelevant.

The ones since then I've seen around Newcastle NSW loading docks, were really not that big. I felt they were adequate to the shipping pipeline. They have quite complex feeder methods, very long belts, which can mix the inputs so that a ship can take from one pile, or another, or a blend. I think it's both who owns the coal being sold, and what BTU equivalent they are selling, and the boat.
Petroleum can be successfully extinguished with water and foam. Lithium batteries cannot be extinguished by easy known means; the recommended course of action, AFAIK, is to evacuate and cool the space around the fire, and let the burning finish.

This requires very special approaches to the architecture of a battery installation, and likely rather special insurance premiums.
The optimism and hopefulness got crushed under the boot of money. The spirit of sharing got crushed under the boot of copyright. The joy and excitement got crushed under the boot of metrics and engagement. In an alternate timeline, things could have gone a different way, but because the same old money and same old power structures controlled the direction of progress, we got the timeline where the Internet turned into Addictive Pay-per-view Disney.
When owners of the platforms themselves ignore their own UI standards to "brand" their apps, it's tough to blame the devs for following suit.

The entire system is built on checks and balances. For instance even a simple district attorney can choose to effectively nullify laws within his jurisdiction by not prosecuting violations - something that has regularly happened in contemporary times. Even the final check - the lone juror - can also nullify laws by similarly choosing to acquit alleged violations regardless of the evidence.

You could obviously create a far more functional system but it would probably be far less stable. The reason you have all these checks and balances, from top to bottom, is that the Founding Fathers were obsessed about the risks imposed by both a tyranny of the majority and a tyranny of the minority. And non-enforcement of something effectively comes down just a continuation of the status quo, making it difficult for any group to [openly at least] impose their will on others.
C64 basic was tokenized into one byte, with the most significant bit set: https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/BASIC_token

Each command could be typed in two ways: the full name, or the first two letters, with the second capitalized. Plus a few exceptions like "?" turning into the PRINT token ($99, nowhere near the PETSCII value for ?) and π becoming $FF.

The tokens were expanded into full text strings when you would LIST the program. Which was always amusing if you had a very dense multi-statement line that expanded as longer than the 80 characters the c64's tokenizer routine could handle, you'd have to go back and replace some or all commands with the short form before you could edit it.
>What the article doesn't appreciate--and we techies don't either--is just how much the scale of today's tech market absolutely dwarfs the scale of the tech market back in the days before the internet.

The people you describe wouldn’t use Mastodon in a web browser and this is a solved problem on the apps.
A function from a fixed input is a monad (called the “Reader” monad). If you constrain all IO to happen underneath that function then it will be deferred until you evaluate the result.

In those senses, these are the same. You can emulate the IO monad in this way.

Haskell provides guarantees that make this stronger. There is no way to perform IO-like side effects except via the IO monad. And no way to “evaluate” the IO monad except to declare it as your main entry point, compile, and hit play.

(Except unsafePerformIO, of course, the highly discouraged escape hatch).

These restrictions are actually what makes the use of the IO monad powerful. As you show, it’s easy to “add” it to a language, and also almost valueless. The value is in removing everything that’s not in the IO monad.

> Has there been any other behavior like this in the past where a company "shut themselves down" to make a big political statement and then almost immediately undid the shut down?

A number of internet services (e.g. Wikipedia) shut down temporarily on Jan 18, 2012 as a political statement against SOPA.
Scenario (1) is trivial to detect.

But Scenario (2) is rather complex - most strong players who are "smart cheaters" would use the Stockfish suggestions infrequently, perhaps just once per game. The difference to the game result can be significant, but detecting this sort of cheating is a statistical exercise.

As you said, it comes down to thresholds, and setting a tradeoff between false positives and false negatives.

And let's not forget that a false negative, which is the default case and extremely common, also has an effect – it disadvantages all the honest players who lose to a cheater.

My guess is either apocrypha, rhetoric, or experience with people who aren’t doing their jobs, which in my experience isn’t most people working from home.

In my decade+ of working from home I’ve personally only encountered one or two people who fit the offered description. Most people do their work, irrespective of daily schedule.
Forgive an ignorant not-a-lawyer question, but if the US government owns 50% of something, does that increase it's 1st amendment rights to be considered a free speech channel? Because right now, it [isn't] Elon's playground and subject to contract and his whims. For the americans amongst us (I am not one) this might mean that some things said and done on tiktok [previously I said X] would be protected in law. Including ugly things.

Why not just locally bind it to something shorter with let? Lisp is flexible enough that this is a non issue.
Well, "the law" is a shorthand for "how the police behave" and there is a certain amount of realpolitik here. The basic argument here would be that the US Congress made a scary growling sound and TikTok folded immediately because the Congress is terrifying. But then Trump made more of a friendly sound and so they think they can operate a bit longer with some level of safety.

There is no question that TikTok is a politically sensitive app and the US/China are very nearly in the funnel to a major war so a lot of the usual niceties are questionable. Previously the US has attempted something that looked a lot like a black-bag kidnapping of a Chinese industrialist [0]. I'd imagine that the TikTok people are acutely sensitive towards how the law is actually going to be interpreted and enforced in practice.

Many of these evals are quite easy to game. Often the actual evaluation part of benchmarking is left up to a good-faith actor, which was usually reasonable in academic settings less polluted by capital. AI labs, however, have disincentives to do a thorough or impartial job, so IMO we should never take their word for it. To verify, we need to be able to run these evals ourselves – this is only sometimes possible, as even if the datasets are public, the exact mechanisms of evaluation are not. In the long run, to be completely resilient to gaming via training, we probably need to follow suit of other fields and have third-party non-profit accredited (!!) evaluators who's entire premise is to evaluate, red-team, and generally keep AI safe and competent.
I have the same fear as you do.

My prediction, is that, in the not too far future, perhaps 20-25 years, with the "blessing" of national security, ads business and other big players, devices will be further locked down and tracked, INCLUDING personal computers.

A lot of people already don't own a computer nowadays, except for the pocket one. In that future PCs, if they still exist, perhaps are either thin clients connecting to the vast National Net, where you can purchase subscriptions for entertainment, or completely locked down pads that ordinary people do not even have the tool to open properly. Oh, all "enhanced" with AI agents of course. You might even get a free one every 5 years -- part of your basic income package.

They won't make learning low level programming or hardware hacking illegal, because they are still valuable skills, and some people need to do that anyway. But for ordinary people it's going to be a LOT tougher. The official development languages of your computer system are some sort of Java and Javascript variants that are SAFE. You simply don't get exposed to the lower level. Very little system level API is going to be exposed because you won't have to know. If you have some issues, submit a ticket to the companies who program the systems.

We are already halfway there. Politicians and super riches are going to love that.
it's an often-made mistake where random generation / randomness is confused with probability distribution. Having said that, I don't know (as is in really don't know) if RF noise is unbiased; doesn't sound like it?

Because computer-aided cheating is trivial to do and known to be widespread.

It's apparent that chess.com has tuned the detection threshold to near certainty, which lets many cheaters through, at least for a long time.

What often gets lost in criticism of the corporate entity is that undetected cheating (i.e. false negative by the anti-cheating software), which is very common, also has a cost, and victims.
I find “co-ordinating distributed transactions” to be very hard. Getting any kind of optimum cooperation between self-centred agents is tricky.

Also — “Jevon’s paradox”. That one is nasty! For example: just about anything we do to decrease use of fossils fuels by some small percent, makes the corresponding process more efficient, more profitable, and thus happen more. That’s a nasty nasty problem. I guess it’s not specific to computer science, but all engineering.
Are you privy to the private discussions between Trump and the heads of TikTok, Apple, Google, and Oracle? Or are you simply assuming there have been no such private discussions?

Both of those institutions were, in fact, heavily reformed.

Email validation can be done by sending an email to the specified address. Why bother differentiating between "invalid" and "valid but doesn't exist"?

Just check there's an @ symbol with something before it and something after it and if so, send it an email.

This is silly.

A Melania coin has come out as well. Some speculators have sold their shares in the first coin to get on the second one at an earlier point in the pump-and-dump scheme.

Cryptocurrencies, in particular memecoins, are a folly. I hope that foresighted economists in nations' governments will eventually find the right frameworks to regulate them, or outlaw them. Right now, there's a group of fools out there trying to corner one another in this wild speculation, all stirred by the promise of quick gain to them by rich people holding the actual significant amount of stock (80%!!) acquired at nearly no cost.

Notwithstanding the probable covert and concerted agitation by the creators of the currency to get the ball rolling and keep up a steady flow of new speculators to fork out their money, whether these speculators come out ahead or not, it can be argued that they're all asking for it: they bought themselves in out of greed. But how can one not call the one who indirectly stirred this marginal increase in greed in the world evil?
