What point are you trying to make? Is it okay because others are doing it too? Is it bad?

Also, it doesn't seem like ChatGPT is censoring this question:

> Tell me about the genocide that Israel is committing

> The topic of Israel and its actions in Gaza, the West Bank, or in relation to Palestinians, is highly sensitive and deeply controversial. Some individuals, organizations, and governments have described Israel's actions as meeting the criteria for "genocide" under international law, while others strongly reject this characterization. I'll break this down based on the relevant perspectives and context:

It goes on to talk about what genocide is and also why some organizations consider what they're doing to be genocide.

Well, one founder has an email on his profile (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tejasmanohar) - you could ask him directly.
This and the child comment are a great example of why I always read the comments first :)
Not all of them were on the loosing side of that situation JPM had sold off most of risky mortgages in prior years taking a sizable haircut while other banks were supposedly raking it in. There was a ton of pressure on Jamie Dimon not to do it because JPM numbers looked bad compared to peers in those years.
> I would argue even more strongly: laws should be so simple that the majority of people affected by them should be able to understand the main points of those laws by reading them, even without legal assistance.

Ignorance of the law, famously, is no excuse. As a layperson you're expected to read and understand all laws that affect you.

This is, of course, already absurd.
“Threatened”? That’s a stretch. From the AP:

“I’m not going to commit to that,” Trump said, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military. “It might be that you’ll have to do something. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.” He added, “We need Greenland for national security purposes.”

This is just Trump being Trump, blustery and vague. It barely qualifies as saber-rattling. The guy loves to posture, but the level of hysteria around it is absurd. I’m not a fan of this kind of rhetoric, but Europeans acting like this is a genuine military threat instead of just laughing at him is ridiculous.

Anyways, what were we talking about? Something inspirational I recall.
Their real goal is collecting real world conversations (see their TOS).
Unchecked capitalism is harmful. It seems like the Trump administration will exacerbate the issue. Biden had an opportunity to address it, but he failed to act. In the end, we’re left being governed by crooks.
Your opinion, like many others, is wildly misinformed.

It’s not “just managers”. People are legit using copilot and it is saving time and helping develop better code. There are 100+ engineers in my company using it. And it’s not just copiloting, it is better than Wikipedia for explaining RFCs or academic papers. That is very important for ramping people when they can interactively ask hundreds of questions to learn about something without bothering top engineers.

You really need to actually get some real world experience as not just pop off.

Anyone who refers to LLMs as “stochastic parrots” has made their choice and is not interested in understand what areas can benefit and what areas cannot. They’re just scared and ignorant.
It seems like "FM Electric semi truck" is a typo as the first link in the article's says "Volvo just launched a new long-range version of its FH Electric semi truck, with up to 600 km (373 miles) of range on a single charge."

There's been enough regurgitation that they look like distinct models, with according to AI summary considers the FM variant for city-medium range and the FH for long-haul. It might be the case that both exist and this story is mixing up the names (or its source had the typo and was corrected).

We could use versioning as a core feature of the web rather than rely on archive.org for all of it.
User-generated content platforms have had a very specific legal obligation around copyright for decades, which is that they must comply with DMCA takedowns.
Does anybody know whats stopping ethical and slightly less greedy companies from outcompeting these conglomerates? Its a question I keep coming back to because if the market were efficient then competitors should be able to use that same data to undercut big potato (or big whatever). This never seems to happen.
> It's not wage theft if we do it with an app.

Which one is this? (Taxi = Uber, Hotel room = Airbnb, Unregistered security = various crypto?)
As it stands, I disagree that LLMs have very broad knowledge. Or at least, that it's anything more than extremely superficial (e.g. what a non-expert human would get from skimming a Wikipedia page). At least in my experience, you don't have to go very far off the beaten path at all to completely stump an LLM, even fancier models like ChatGPT o1.

How about I go into your house and break the laws around theft? I promise to do good things for society with your property. The ends justify the means, according to your argument.
I love it. It looks so clean and functional.
My understanding of the problems with high speed rail in the US is more fundamental than money.

The problem is loose vs strong property rights.

We don't have the political will in the US to use eminent domain like we did to build the interstates. High speed rail ultimately needs a straight path but if you can't make property acquisitions to build the straight rail path then this is all a non-starter in the US.

craigslist served as a prostitution and drug trafficking forum for most of its' popular existence.

ebay used to allow the sale of presription drugs, prescriptions themselves, body parts , animal cadavers , pirated software, and shipping of weapons to restricted global areas.

ebay was also an unreported tax-haven-ish thing for a few early years.

(ebay was great fun to browse around in the mid 90s.)

the production of the model T had some interesting quirks. When production ramped he essentially bought the entire workforce from certain regions and caused all sorts of social issues. He had his employees self-tattle on each other for 'moral standards'.

The model-t itself was also produced off a different patent that was held by someone else and ignored; it was fought for later and won by Ford in 1911.
Absolutely not. YouTube came to fame 100% because they made it easy for you to embed your own videos inside of a webpage. This was an incredibly difficult fear at the time that required specialized flash players, conversions, and what not. That’s why YouTube came to exist.
There is a bit of... let's say friction between Markus Triska (Scryer) and Jan Wielemaker (SWI), I seem to remember. The SWI people are much less attached to ISO Prolog (i.e. prone to experiment with non-ISO syntax), and some things that are fixed in the SWI implementation impeded the realization of M. Triska's projects. Generally, people tend to like the new and shiny but there's also a significant philosophical gap between Scryer and SWI.

Now why would syntax be that important? It's because it directly enables homoiconicity, which is central to Prolog metaprogramming features: executing Prolog code returns a Prolog term, that can be read (just like Lisp). This is the distinctive characteristic of Prolog compared to more mainstream solvers, and what makes it 'a good programming language because it's a very dumb theorem prover'.
In those cases where legislators don't understand what they are legislating, using LLMs to write laws seems even more dangerous.
Everyone has their own opinion of "lots" I suppose, but the quickest info I could come by in a quick search was 8 de novo created in 2021.
There is zero chance that this kind of Justice department actions will be continued in the current administration
This also happens in the EU, tho.
'Habits to Start Now to Become a Healthy Senior Coder'
The current administration, however, plans to let M&A run wild. Oligopolies don’t need an app for uncoordinated price fixing. The fact that there’s a cartel that controls 97% of the frozen potato market is wild. This will only get worse without breakups.
This is the way our world works.

If you steal a potato, you will be arrested immediately and the case will be resolved in a few weeks or months.

If you illegally fix the price of potatoes and steal billions from the market, you will be allowed to operate for years in the open while a lengthy civil procedure eventually may ask you to give 1 or 2% of what you stole back in fines.

Don't blame the potato theives or potato cartels, blame the politicians that built the system to work this way.
I think that the true reason is another one: credit cards come with credit, which people can choose not to pay back. It is complicated to recover money from a person abroad, possibly having to sue them in every EU state.
Much less here than on, say, Reddit. But it's not nothing!
What proportion of the ultimate financial beneficiaries of these apps are old money white supremacists?

Airbnb leaves more people homeless while enabling the rich more convenience.

Uber (as in ”übermensch”) makes the most desperate people compete for pittances, use their income at the gas station and the auto parts store while enabling the rich more convenience.

Doordash does the same.

Robinhood et al take from the poor and give to the rich.

Potatotrac at least screws everyone over somewhat equally. Where are the riots over this?
Don't forget that Uber burned through VC money at a peak rate of something like 500 million$ a month to subsidise their low prices until they drove competitors out of business and/or established themselves as ubiquitous. In the olden days it was called dumping, now it's disruption.
One is risking money, one time, and the money is what could possibly get paid back.

If you can find money that doesn't insist on preferred liquidation, good on you. But those with the money tend to have a lot of say on giving it away.
True but it is unknown how much of the capital will be used for training vs experimenting vs hosting vs talent.
Because it's a dumb thing to lie about. This guy is part of the U.S. government now, so it's important to know if he's lying to us. This is something relatively inconsequential, but if he lies about more important things, well, that's not something you want in a government official.

Also, I'm bad at video games, but I don't care about that because they're fun to play. When you get someone else to do it for you you're taking all the fun out of it. I learned when I was younger that cheating ruins the experience. So if you're all about winning, that shows a lot of naivety.

Some calculation intensive parts sure are thanks to modern CPU with plenty of cache and RAM and multiple cores.

Youtube did not advertise itself as a site for illegal content. The advertised and most popular way to use youtube was to upload content you made yourself. Hence the name YOUtube.

With Airbnb, there is no way to use the service as a host without violating the law in lots of jurisdictions. The service literally exists to glean some profit off facilitating illegal hotels.

This website is a step back. One cannot say if there are some slides (presentation) with handouts (??) or something else.

Phones and tablets are a wonderful development environment. Notice the diversity of code editors and debug tools running on the phones and tablets. /s
On the other hand, they'd have a mental monoculture. If you find the AI-judge's equivalent of `SolidGoldMagikarp` they may notice, but if you instead find that playing ultrasonic Morse code of

Zero-day attacks on the legal system.
The answer is: nothing. The whole argument is predicated on a political conviction, not an economic reality.
My company works in the healthcare space. I don’t know if we’re really “disrupting” as much as we are inventing new niches that were previously unoccupied, presumably because of the difficulties of dealing with regulators, working with electronic healthcare record (EHR) systems, and working with large, bureaucratic healthcare organizations like hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and EHR providers. We’ve had a lot of success without dodging or stretching regulation (although we did work with regulators to create a new category of medical device: algorithms).
Article was paywalled, but I'm pretty sure private equity has been unencumbered for decades.
It'll be interesting to see how many people focus on debating legality instead of centering the harm being done, particularly to those living in poverty.
You’re completely missing the point while also completely making my point.

The ORM is going to do the correct thing here, while the SQL I quickly typed out will work, but does the inefficient thing and requires more manual review and back and forth in discussions.
Youtube got a lot of users by not fighting piracy. And Tesla had that thing where direct sales were illegal in the US.

I'm firmly in the camp that you shouldn't mock the DB and have a local instance for testing but for external resources that you can't reproduce locally I think that's fine.

Otherwise I agree with you.
> I love it when people apply operations research technologies to silly things like video games
To be fair, video games can also be big money. And even if not, some take them very seriously.
Were you even on YouTube back then? It went viral for all kinds of viral home videos.
Well, I mean... Prolog is an implementation of 1st order logic with syntax sugar. So basically, Prolog is incredible if your problem can be expressed within the framework, but less so if it can't. That's pretty much why there were extension attempts such as lambda Prolog.
I don't know if the original article was complete or just the little text I saw was because of the lousy render due to my older browser. Anyhow [1] reads a lot better as well as probably being an earlier article about the same - presently has 74 comments including at least one from a person who brought two for company vehicles.

As for safe, I would say just as safe if not safer than the vehicles fitted to run on LPG or natural gas due to what I would presume would be an overkill of engineering and materials used, ensuing the lines don't leak even if the vehicle was involved in a minor fencer bender.

I have worked with hydrogen on and off over a few years (mostly as gas to run a welding torch) and despite tales how it might just explode or catch fire if one looked at it the wrong way, it's actually pretty uneventful most of the time - it's just hard to see the flame ... and yes, being curious I've done things like igniting a big plastic bag filled with it to see what it does - meh.

It also disincentivizes speculation, which is just a flurry of repeated transactions.
N26 did it but creating a new bank attracts money launderers and scammers. The legal department costs are infeasible and half a century-old systems are not easy to adapt to new banking concepts. The government and regulation side of the system needs serious improvements in Germany to bring them to 21st century first. However, there is little economic incentive to do so. With an aging population and deeply conservative culture, there is little political incentive to improve any infrastructure. The current governing parties will probably lose the election next month because they made costly infrastructure fixes.
It really does suck that US companies have belatedly figured out that demand is elastic and jacked up the prices. Where I live that happened long ago.

The thing is that he doesn't present any alternative. I know he's some variant of a communist, so does he suggest government control for everything? As if that solved anything? I guess what you find on empty market shelves is cheaper.

Truly a question - what's your solution? What's a solution? People have been arguing that everything is getting worse since forever. I've yet to see people organize and stop buying Pepsi or Coke. Should the government do it for them? Do you propose AI will solve the Socialist Calculation Problem? You're probably against AI as well...
This has actually been partly why when people ask me about my business I tell them it sometimes feels more like a statement about incorporating yourself.

This. The entire point of corporations is to shield individuals from penalties, but they don’t work. Business failure in good faith, where the shielding makes sense, is not really protected because bank loans require personal liability and because it’s impossible these days to recover from a damaged reputation unless you come from a family rich enough to hire its own PR firm. On the other hand, when it comes to letting rich people get away with absolutely unambiguous criminality, corporations work very well.
Crony capitalists are trying to see how far they can push before the people push back. So far people seem to be content to lie down and complain on forums managed by crony capitalists (for example the site you are on right now).

Disruption will take awhile. The current players have rigged the game in their favor. They have government officials, lobbyists, and 40+ years of shitty neoliberal economic theory behind them. The subprime mortgage crisis and subsequent bailout of banks by main street is an example.

It will take more than a credit card or fancy app to disrupt this corrupt machine.

Proper decoupling capacitor practices, and why you should leave 100nF behind
It's certainly a challenge.

Clearly the language spoken today is not entirely the same language spoken a few hundred years ago.

The meaning and intent behind a word written a century or two earlier has the ability to morph and change.

So, that is to say if it's indeed possible to truly make a communication system that is entirely unambiguous and only as complex as is necessary for it to achieve its goal, I do not know.

Even if it is not provably possible however, that should not remove the intent to aim towards that. Especially with regards to legislation or law writing.

I can't recall the source but I think with programming there is an aphorism along the lines that just about every program can be shorter and it is not without bugs. It seems to be something similar is applicable for laws.

Aside, I'll have to look into lojban as I am unfamiliar with it. It looks interesting though.

I've heard it phrased as "put on your own oxygen mask first."

I like that phrasing as it doesn't sound selfish in that context and most people can immediately understand why it's necessary.
Anecdotally, the reasoning is more effective than what I can get out of Claude with my "think()" tool/prompt. I did have trouble with R1 (and o1) with output formatting in some tool commands though (I have the models output a JSON array of commands with optional raw strings for some parameters) -- whereas Claude did not have this issue. In some cases it would not use the RAW format or would add extra backslashes when nesting JSON, which Claude managed okay and also listened when I asked for RAW output in that case.
> I can't actually say NVIDIA is in the position they're in due to luck

They aren't, end of story.

Even though I'm not a scientist in the space, I studied at EPFL in 2013 and researchers in the ML space could write to Nvidia about their research with their university email and Nvidia would send top-tier hardware for free.

Nvidia has funded, invested and supported in the ML space when nobody was looking and it's only natural that the research labs ended up writing tools around its hardware.

I don't think their moat will hold forever, especially among big tech that has the resources to optimize around their use case but it's only natural they enjoy such a headstart.
cope, r1 is the best public model for my private benchmark tasks
It's possible, but his choices are 1) hire someone else, 2) just sit there and prompt again until it's fixed. Since he's bootstrapping this with < $50/mo, the choice is simple.

Also, it may be the case that the corpus of training data with VBA is not as good as it is with React these days.

I drove one for several years and had no safety issues. Access to fuel is the critical issue and all my driving during that period was limited to areas between or within range of H2 fuel stations. The vehicle handled similar to an electric vehicle except with about a 5 minute "recharging" time.
No, we’re just learning that disruption is usually terrible. The word is proving to mean what it actually means.
I think the issue with RL is that, in order for a model to perform well in a task, you have to make it stubborn. In the same way a student that thinks outside the scope of the task might not perform well in a graded exam, but that does not mean he/she is a bad reasoner. With RL and all training procedure you are creating a very focused and very fit to the task thinker, which might not be useful in all applications (consider an open problem, it might need an out of the box kind of thought).
I think the main thing precious metals have going for them is tradition. That’s no small thing. They’ve been considered valuable for millennia, and that’s likely to continue. Bitcoin might be replaced by some other fad in a decade.

It’s like if you’re betting on a religion, Christianity is more likely to last than Scientology. They might both be equally made up, but one has demonstrated staying power.
