The permit isn't what keeps you safe (except from being shot by the government at the behest of people who think like you). What keeps you safe is not doing a shit job. When working in one's own home it's far easier to just over-build things than to engineer things to the bare minimum or pay someone to tell you what that minimum is.

Also slumlords are the guys doubling the number of units in an existing triple decker, not the guys building new stuff.
The software is free, and few people even think about the hardware cost.

But that’s not how it always was, it was a core part of Bill Gates world domination plan during the ‘foundation’ era (2008). Good ones used to be super expensive, then they were sold as excel plugins, and now Z3 is given away for free. And despite being free it’s still not used nearly as often as it should be, it’s not the algorithm or price holding back adoption it’s the people. It was assumed that there was this huge untapped demand curve at the long end of the tail before finding out that there really was not. Z3 was originally released as academic use only (2012) on the assumption that it would drive demand for commercial use of Z3 or another commercial solution. Once it became clear that wasn’t going to make any real money they allowed it to be released for commercial use as well (2015).

As an aside people still do pay for SMT solvers so the market hasn’t completely disappeared but it’s clearly not what it was thought to be.
GCHQ: Boiling Frogs (2014)
Expecting companies to actually license copyrighted material instead of mass infringement is fairly reasonable given they've demanded the same for decades from the populace.

"China's not going to respect those laws" is kinda beside the point. If they suddenly decided to cut everyone in the nation's pay in half - or double it - that would have no bearing on what is right for you or I to do.
An AI That Writes, Schedules and Posts Content for Solo Founders – Hands-Free
Hey HN,

As a solo founder, I struggled to keep my LinkedIn personal page and product blog active while running my business. So, I’m building an AI-powered tool that:

Understands your brand & products automatically to create content that feels like you
Mixes in real-time industry trends to keep posts relevant
Writes, schedules & posts automatically – no manual work needed
Learns from engagement data to improve future posts
Runs hands-free, so you never have to worry about content again

Would this save you time? I’d appreciate your feedback!
In my mind, that doesn't make the symptoms any less real to the person suffering from them and does absolutely nothing to remedy the situation. Even if it is in the person's head, any doctor offering that advice should be facing consequences for not offering a legitimate path for treatment.
Why? When did large companies care about laws? See e.g. Uber, AirBnb.

The only thing government cares about at this point is if information is shared with China.
It isn't a bug, you could actually toggle this behavior. Don't know how the option was called and cannot find it in Windows 11. But it certainly was still there in the latest Win10 build.

I think it was called something like quick edit or similar.
Google making a database of all web content and serving up snippets of that content in search results was ruled to be fair use. So it seems plausible that doing essentially the same thing but with an AI rather than a traditional database could be ruled to be fair use.

Its hardly a sure thing but their position does seem to be at least somewhat supported by precedent.
It matters because their goal was hyping up how advanced and difficult their tech is, propping up their valuations.

DeepSeek proved the emperor had
no clothes and wiped out a lot of their valuation when investors saw reaching parity to Chtgpt is not really that difficult.
There's a flip side to that, which is anhedonia. If you're always at a mid, it's kind of harder to get the highs. But you avoid the lows, I suppose.
The actual warning seems to be not to do things with AI that are also illegal without AI. Don’t create illegal fake content, don’t make false claims regarding the accuracy of your AI and don’t produce AI systems which are discriminatory against a protected class.
You have a child and a parent component. The snippet is declared on the parent and rendered on the child.

So, you will have the snippet where you want it to be rendered on the child:

```child.svelte

<script>
let { myFirstSnippet, mySecondSnipper } = $props();
</script>

<div id="Your first snippet goes here">
{@render myFirstSnippet()}
</div>

<div id="Your second snippet goes here">
{@render mySecondSnippet()}
</div>
```

Here we are declaring that this child takes 2 snippets called `myFirstSnippet` and `mySecondSnippet` and we place them wherever they might go.

And then on the parent we need to actually build those snippets:

```parent.svelte

<script>
import Child from ...
</script>

{#snippet myFirstSnippet()}
<span>Hello from firstSnippet!</span>
{/snippet}

<Child {myFirstSnippet}>

{#snippet mySecondSnippet()}
<span>Hello from secondSnippet!</span>
{/snippet}

</Child>
```

Here we are taking that `Child` component and rendering the two snippets that will go into it, as you see, you can either pass the snippet as a named prop or you can declare it inside the child component with the same name as the prop the child gets.

The end result of this will be a `Child` component that's rendered on the `Parent` with the two snippets inside this child component.

I hope that clears things up.

I think NT still had problems with interactivity when the parralel port was used (interrupts)
I can't believe that people unironically believe that humans lived unfulfilling lives until mass consumerism started. Incredible.

Just because we don't know what daily life looked like doesn't mean "nothing happened".
Thank you so much for the tool you've built, and for being so generous in how you license it. Sublime is always installed on my machine, Sublime Merge is great too :)
I tried the tool, works flawlessly on mac. Finetuning was quick, do you support model conversion as well ? To TensorRT ?

Also, DeepSeek is allegedly... better? So saying they just copied ClosedAI isn't really sufficient of an answer. Seems to be just bluster because the US Govt would probably accept any excuse to ban it, see TikTok.
wow, the nerve they have to say this
Information wants to be free! No, not like that!
No matter how much polishing a man does to his appearance / profile the biological reality is that women are sought after and men have to compete for their attention. There's some statistic along the lines of "the average female has about as much 'pull' as a male A list celebrity"

This means that women will receive far more attention from the opposite sex, and therefore have an "easier" time finding potential partners. This problem is just exacerbated by dating apps and social media making women more aware of their position and options - 100 years ago women could barely date outside their village. Nowadays they receive 100s of messages from men around the world competing for her attention. The opposite happens to men, they become more aware of how "undesired" they are so they start casting a wider net since no fish are caught in their smaller nets.

Blaming the men here just reeks of those toxic standards - since again it is on the men to improve. Not the women who should continue being hyper selective (most attractive, wealthy, etc.).

(Note I'm not blaming any side just showing the reality men face - really this is a problem both sexes need to tackle)

"easier" is in quotes because I appreciate women have to filter out abusers and creeps. But from the male perspective they'd kill to even have a chance with an abuser or creep.
Yes, physical media requires a journey with a real aesthetic quality. I don't think an app can ever create that.

Even console video games still come with controllers, that I think are a big reason people love their consoles. They feel a physical connection.

Steve Jobs famously derided Microsoft for having no taste, but I wonder if he would be horrified to see how tasteless his smart phone has become.
> "they destroyed $1T of shareholder value." (By revealing that Microsoft et al. paid way too much to OpenAI et al. for technology that was actually easy to reinvent.)

The value was highly speculative, an illusion created by PR and sentiment momentum. "Hype value" not real value (unless you're able to realize it and dump those bags on someone else before fundamentals set in). Same thing happening with power companies downstream of the discovery that AI is not going to be a savior of sagging electricity demand. Overdriving the fundamentals is not value destruction, it is "I gambled and lost."

I have never heard of a Nordic restaurant that closes in those months

Lots of restaurants in that mainly cater to lunch guests close for at least a few weeks during those months, since 90+% of their customer base are away and they get very few tourists.

My bet would be on someone in a warehouse mislabelling a pallet or something. Actual malice is a possibility, but it does seem odd to blow up an entire distribution business for some 16 TB HDDs, when HDDs aren't supply constrained at the moment. There were all sorts of shenanigans going on in 2020-21 when supply chains were disrupted (e.g. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/06/chip-shortages-lead-...).
> or because you haven't been properly compensated for your contribution to the content on the internet?

This comes across as snark, but I will assume you are well meaning. I have put code, guides, and videos on the internet for other people to consume for free in the hope that those people find that stuff useful.

I did not put stuff on the internet for it to be hoovered up and frankly stolen by massive AI companies to enrich themselves. If they are going to use my things in their commercial product than yes, they should be compensating me for that.

> Is this because they are multi-billion dollar companies, or because they behave poorly

It's also both of these.

> It is very likely that voting, or voting with your wallet, or probably any kind of activism, would have more impact than withdrawing from the (online) public life.

The only true control I have is withdrawing. I don't give these companies money, I don't live in a country that can meaningfully legislate against them, and I would consider withdrawing a form of activism.

I refuse to support these AI companies in any way (as long as they continue to be bad actors) and I have taken down all Youtube videos I've created, my personal website, and I have moved all my code to a self hosted, private Git service in order to deny them my work.
Thank you, it's honestly been a ton of fun
Gentle Introduction to Terminologue
Cars are not stolen very often. Sure you can look up national statistics and find large numbers, but for the average person (who generally isn't in a "bad neighborhood") it something that only happens in movies.
> If they suddenly decided to cut everyone in the nation's pay in half - or double it - that would have no bearing on what is right for you or I to do.

They literally did exactly that relative to the salaries of the rest of the world, and everyone took them up on it.

In retrospect, keeping China a weak communist nation was so easy. There was even internal dissent in the late 80s. It simply required refusing to make trade deals. US and worldwide wages would have been higher, discontent would have continued fermenting, the party would have remained relatively weak, human rights would not have been so easily sold out to the lowest bidder, the US would probably not have lost 6 million manufacturing jobs in a decade (3x the number of jobs in SV), and we blew it.
globalstar is the emergency SOS apple partner on newer phones. with the right antennas and spectrum you can do great things.
It doesn't matter from the US government perspective if all of the tech is replicated by US companies and US user continue to use US AI technology. But if US users start to use Chinese AI tech, then protectionism urges will appear that will likely figure out how to ban its use or subject it to large tariffs (e.g. TikTok, BYD, network equipment, solar panels, etc.)
It's about as illegal as the billions, if not trillions of IPs that ClosedAI infringed to train their own data without consent. Not that they're alone, and I personally don't mind that AI companies do it, but it's still amusing when they get this annoyed at others doing the same thing to them.
> any stronger signal is causing unacceptable interference with the current terrestrial networks

I actually never understood that argument. Why would it be harder to tolerate interference from an adjacent frequency base station hundreds of kilometers away than that of one one roof over?

Are Starlink's band pass filters really bad, or do terrestrial networks depend on geometric isolation (via topography or the horizon) to a larger extent than space-based transmission protocols?
I removed the editorializing from the NYPost headline, which conflates opposition to Israel with anti-Semitism.
For a certain definition of complicated, I would say atomic clocks.
Sorry I don't believe this argument. Let's turn it all off and see if something bad actually happens to Americans
I think parent was asking would it even matter if there was a ban. To which the answer would be "no" because as you said the point has been made. And, as parent pointed out, it's repeatable anyway.
I think in general, no major liability issue will come up:

- if everyone is doing it, you can't really fault anyone

- on some level we are, or will be, kinda dependent on that AI and opting out will probably be made unpleasant via dark patterns as usual

- no pushback to every piece of software, including at the operating system level, slurping all the keystrokes and data, let alone the data that's already in the cloud
- big tech knows everything about us but to my surprise no major public leak has happened, i.e. one where you really can see your neighbor's private data without buying leaked data from someone on the dark web or wherever

- things are moving too fast, and you don't know if you can afford to have your programmers not use tomorrow's AI, for example, so your "bans" will have to be soft etc., this limits the potential pushback and outrage

Thieve's honor, hunh?
I think its actually 8TB and under that WD switched to SMR. All their drives over 8TB are CMR, last I heard.
So then it's ok to not only continue ignoring it as the evidence mounts, but to actually accelerate it?

No. No, it's not. It doesn't matter how many fools do something, they're still fools. The root word of ignorance is "to ignore".
Instant gratification is a key part of what turns someone into a nerd. You need a repeated exposure to something on demand to become a nerd for it.
I think a lot of the negative comments here just miss the spirit and point of the article, which for me is that, as the phone is now an omnipresent literal extension of your body, we collectively have chosen to relocate many human experiences from inside of our chests to the very ends of our arms. We don't look up and out anymore, we look down. Our senses and sensibilities are being processed and filtered by an external peripheral rather than by our natural hardware. We are effectively already transhumanists and biohackers, albeit crude ones that lack invasive implants, tuning and modulating our neural pathways in ways that have been heretofore unseen, frequently as simple-minded consumers of the modulation rather than conscious curators of our own metamorphosis.

Author is opining for the way things used to be, is expounding upon the real, significant consequences of this transformation, and just wondering in general what the hell happened and why we let it get to be like this lol

It's also worth noting that the author is a woman, so if you're a dude and feel attacked by the article somehow (or god forbid instinctively dismiss the whole thing because it's not from a male perspective), just take a deep breath and try to recognize that other people have valid, salient thoughts and opinions too. She's just suggesting we all 'touch grass' in a much more substantial way than a bite-sized meme phrase.
A big part of project 2025 is increasing patent regulations. I would not be surprised if the current admin moves to ban DeepSeek because of this.
And by the way, has anyone researched on GNAP (published 20 March 2024)?

> GNAP (Grant Negotiation and Authorization Protocol) is an in-progress effort to develop a next-generation authorization protocol

From spec https://oauth.net/gnap/

> GNAP is not an extension of OAuth 2.0 and is not intended to be directly compatible with OAuth 2.0. GNAP seeks to provide functionality and solve use cases that OAuth 2.0 cannot easily or cleanly address.

> GNAP and OAuth 2.0 will likely exist in parallel for many deployments, and considerations have been taken to facilitate the mapping and transition from existing OAuth 2.0 systems to GNAP

Doesnt look like GNAP will fly any time soon, however there is a very interesting part - Security Considerations section. Looks like it was made by people who are familiar with all varieties of cyberops and usability issues in OAuth2/OIDC spec.

Security Considerations section

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-gnap-core-p...

If any cyberops, pentester pro reading this, please advise how to research more. Thanx in advance.
“Cali”?
No.
In practice, this sort of hyper-corrupt crony capitalism is _not great_ for the markets, at least not in the medium to long term (it might provide a temporary sugar rush, but it's going to destroy long-term growth and company formation). Most notably see Russia, of course, but you see it to varying extents in most extremely corrupt countries. Few of them exactly have booming economies.

If you filter out oil states, there are virtually no strong economies in countries without at least _decent_ court and regulatory systems.
OpenAI is the MIC darling - expect more ridiculous attacks on competitors in the future
There's competitors. The regular service is also progressing slower than originally planned.

They are moving faster than the competition though
If you care about putting up a fake identity this is still bad. Social media is all about being distinct and grabbing attention. Getting samified into a bland featureless identity isn't the same as as carefully crafting a persona to maximize clicks
sorry, should have covered this in the post (will likely add).

I never said they are just a clone! There's an actual tech breakthrough!

Read the two following sections of my blog post:

1. "Distilled language models"

2. "DeepSeek: Less supervision"
While I'm as amused as everyone else - I think it's technically accurate to point out that the "we trained it for $6 mio" narrative is contingent on the done investment by others.
The first two points are a good illustration of how varied an audience may be. Most of the time I see people striving to make their text editor experience such that they don't have to reach for the mouse at all.

The last point is a good illustration that your product may have terrible bugs that destroy user data, and still be well-loved because the overall experience is slick, and certain other capabilities are second to none.

Now that China is talking about lifting the Great Firewall, it seems like the U.S. is on track to cordon themselves off from other countries. Trump's talk of building a wall might not stop at Mexico.
I've been going through my LP records and found a 3-LP "Columbia Musical Treasures" from 1975, 36 "great" songs from 36 "great" artists like Debbie Reynolds, Wayne Newton, The Johnny Cash Family, and others, and they're okay. Everyone's numbed to the 50-100 Christmas radio and mall staples, but popstars dropping shitty Christmas renditions every year is part of the tradition.

Christian radio does sacred slop fine just by itself. Gimme some real sacred AI slop, like Gregorian/Tibetan chant, Hawaiian nose humming and Tuvan throat singing

Their way of squaring this circle has always been to whine about "AI safety". (the cultish doomsday shit, not actual harms from AI)

Sam Altman will proclaim that he alone is qualified to build AI and that everyone else should be tied down by regulation.

And it should always be said that this is, of course, utterly ridiculous. Sam Altman literally got fired over this, has an extensive reputation as a shitweasel, and OpenAI's constant flouting and breaking of rules and social norms indicates they CANNOT be trusted.
If the media does not contextualize risks correctly, as it never does, it's absolutely a crisis—a crisis of a poorly-informed, panicked society lashing out and doing irrational things.

It's not a costless error if a warped illusion of risk drives countries to, i.e., deploy nuclear-tipped space weapons for asteroid defense, which then precipitate a genuine crisis. It's not obvious that having more defenses is obviously safer than having less; some thoughtful people have argued the opposite:

>"In our view, development of this asteroid-deflection technology would be premature. Given twentieth-century history and present global politics, it is hard to imagine guarantees against eventual misuse of an asteroid deflection system commensurate with the dangers such a system poses. Those who argue that it would be prudent to prevent catastrophic impacts with annual probabilities of 10^-5 would surely recognize the prudence of preventing more probable catastrophes of comparable magnitude from misuse of potentially apocalyptic technology."

I never understood this either. I sleep well, work 8 hours, meal prep my meals, work out a few days a week, have outdoor and indoor hobbies, meet up with friends at least weekly, and still have more time than I know what to do with.

This didn't "just happen". I made choices all life long, and continue to make choices to change my circumstances to build and to have the life and lifestyle I want.
Probably if there are hyperhurricanes what you need is not a terrestrial power plant but an O'Neill cylinder.
I feel like this is what corporate wants. A single way of speaking. A single way of thinking. Round off all the sharp edges and smooth out all the wrinkles. Humanity filtered through a sycophantic psychotic AI tuned to perfection by psychopaths who want to change humanity into their image.
