I don't know -- I don't think that there's a particular social contract (much less a legal one) between companies and users that the offering they provide today will be unchanged forever.

I don't mean to defend the dark pattern in this particular case, I'm responding to you saying "this whole industry is a complete farce". If a company decides that The Way to use their product needs to be nudged in a different direction, they can. (Almost) nobody complained when macs started shipping with Rosetta [0] installed.

I'm nowhere near as confident that Apple Intelligence is worth betting the goodwill of users on as I was about apple silicon + rosetta for intel binaries, but it's Apple's bet to make.

[0] okay, a stub launcher for intel binaries that made it super quick and easy to get Rosetta installed
I used cline for the first time today. This article resonates in many ways. It's Otherworldly.

I've never blown through so many tokens so quickly. The section on the metered usage definitely holds true.

One thing I noticed is the intuitive prompt adherence. I gave it the instruction to read the docs before starting the task and updating it when completing the task and it just worked on first try. This way the LLM has a lot of context on the project with only reading few files.
"I see these kinds of comments regularly and am curious"

This clearly states the person's feelings (curiosity) about some observations (seeing comments of a particular sort).
This wouldn't be the first time IP laws hurt Western innovation and security. When WW1 started - despite the airplane being invented in Dayton, Ohio - the US had fallen so far behind they had to use French aircraft. Why? The Wright brothers' patent wars had effectively frozen US aviation development.

Today it's not just one industry - Western IP laws are slowing progress across multiple tech frontiers. While companies navigate complex IP restrictions (In EU and US), China's development is following a sharp exponential curve. You can already see it clearly in robotics, electric vehicles, and now these last weeks with AI.

While in the west you deal with predatory licensing (try talking with Siemens, Oracle, or Autodesk), and everyone keeps working on barriers and moats; other nations that allow a more collaborative approach (voluntary or not) are on an accelerating trajectory.

IP law is clearly no longer suitable for purpose - we need a system that encourages collaboration more directly. A complete free for all isn't ideal either - and I certainly don't advocate that- but even that appears to be better than what we have now.

In case anyone else didn’t know the definition.

Knowing the definition it sounds kind of like “learn what we tell you matters” in a sense.

Not unlike how the world seems to work today. High hopes for the future…
The bridge mode for AT&T's fiber plans is notoriously shitty at just being a dumb bridge... but it does at least pass the IP through so you can port forward like a normal person would (the built in port forward is so ass backwards). My connection became significantly better (marginally better in max throughput, significantly better in connections/s, QoS, and jitter) when I went from "bridge" mode to replacing the ONT with an unofficial device with a "real" bridge config.

The other thing you can run into is, even in bridge mode, there is a relatively low session limit. The exact number depends on the model you get but some were as low as 4,000 (which sounds like a lot until you start loading background apps on devices and connecting to webpages which are actually dozens of connections per in many cases). The newer boxes aren't as bad... but it was still worthwhile for the effort.
Now titled "Basics of Getting a Product from Idea to Manufacturing"
As you will see if you ask DeepSeek about notable events which happened in Tiananmen Square, AI systems are perfectly capable of failing to provide impartiality or facts. Any model that claims to do so simply is failing to state the biases of the person who trained it, and the biases of the data upon which it was trained.
Fear is a great motivator to stay silent, which should be bothering people…especially people claiming to want government to stay out of their personal lives.

Sadly, in the end, people are generally more selfish than righteous.
This is not how HN works. There are guidelines and if you fail them you get downvoted or flagged. The moderation is mostly decentralized.

By the way:

So while it seems that I am ideologically much more aligned with you, I am still annoyed by the unecessary irony and uninteresting comment about whatever you think HN is/has become.
>The right way to go about things would be to shore up US manufacturing capabilities first

The US has basically "full employment" (the economic measure when more employment is inflationary). In a vacuum the idea that you're "bringing home the jobs" makes sense, but it makes zero sense when you simply don't have the capacity to build more. If Americans thought inflation was unacceptable under Biden, they're in for a real shock now.

Americans have no idea how good they have it. They're the biggest consumer of goods on the planet, and basically want their cake and to eat it too. It doesn't work like that.

And really, the US essentially has balanced trade with Canada, and if you exclude oil the US has a massive trade surplus with Canada. So when Canada and Mexico both "shore up" their own capabilities and stop buying the $1T of goods from the US, where does that leave the US? It enjoys a massive internal economy -- an irrationally large one -- but much of that is illusory and built on a myth.

Liberal trade is the reason the US became the richest country on Earth. Trump thinks everything is easy and is about to crash it to the ground.
> as sons of highly accomplished men.

I can agree, Errol had an amazing journey
He won the popular vote by less than Hillary won it in 2016, _when she lost the election._ Every time he's been candidate or president, he's the least popular of either in the history we've polled popularity or approval. Many pluralities who constitute "America" (felons, especially when you consider how many people we imprison; and immigrants) who are subject to US law don't get to vote. And many institutions (DC not having senators, Puerto Rico, and the Senate generally) are barely representational and serving the function of democracy.

So I know it makes you feel intelligent and cool to say "ah, but you see: this is what they wanted," but in every other way you can measure it besides the very narrow way you're focused on, it's as untrue as it could be.
"Riiiiiiiiiiggghhhhhttttttttt" also feels woefully inadequate.

Exactly. It's impractical to distribute compensation (and credit) fairly so it's very easy for those who profit to say "we can't", their their hands up and keep profiting. Doesn't make it right.

It's just the rich getting richer by taking from everyone so little that no individual bothers to fight back.
Whether it’s data or things that can kill you, you’re guaranteed at least once delivery either way.
They don't do support for free tiers, and their free tier is often overbooked, so from what I can tell they just silently drop people? Seems like terrible business to me, but so does most of what Oracle does.
Yeah am I reading that? 1.7 degrees Celsius is what they've achieved? That paves the way for more efficient refrigerators?

I thought paving the way meant a clear path to the end goal, because you already know the route and all the necessary engineering to get there.
DeepSeek: What lies under the bonnet of the new AI chatbot?
They still don't know. The public has learned that it is all about 'owning the libs'.

People have been conditioned to NOT think about what would be positive policy. I.e. sadopopulism:

the government makes you hurt, and then you want somebody else to hurt more.
I don't think that you need to be a Christian to empathise with anyone. The big geezer's (JC) teachings imply to me that keeping quiet about your faith and simply doing good (for a given value of good) is the Way.

Declaring a religion might rile someone, before you have even engaged. I suggest that you simply proffer a hand. Empathise as best you can. Be careful.

At best, with mentioning religion, you have declared your rightful intentions and at worst you have added yet another layer of tribalism to a ... debate.

I'm pretty sure that at least the synoptic gospels and probably John too (for the full set) tell you to keep it quiet. There is no need to put your religious heart on your sleeve - that's between you and God.
I honestly don't understand why this is not the case already. Actually copyright should be even less-enforceable.

Information/access to data/works should be totally free and there should be other ways to support the creators.

For example I could easily download MP3s of music and MP4s of series/movies but I don't: simply because of two reasons:

- I want to support the artist (to an extent as possible)
- Using Spotify/Apple Music/Netflix is much more convenient with a totally acceptable monthly fee.

I know the article is not about entertainment but a library, same rules should apply.

And if one wants to train an LLM, let them: at its essence it's just a person who has read all the books (and access to information should be free), just the person is a machine instead of a biological human being.

The majority just wanted lower grocery / gas / rent.

Unfortunately they either didn't read the fine print, or concluded that it was a price they were willing to pay. I suspect it is more the former.

I’m afraid LLMs are making copyrights obsolete and unenforceable. If an author uses DeepSeek to write a book, piece of music, application, or patent did they break copyright? Is the new work protected if this is disclosed?

Please read Article II of the Constitution: https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-2/.

OPM isn't an "institution." It's the HR department for the executive branch, which has a new CEO. And nothing is "happening behind the scenes" or "hidden." The guy who won the election literally had Musk camped out in Pennsylvania for the last week before the election promising to do this. And now he's tweeting everything he's doing in real time.

And the the linked article--the fact that the official National Park Service has what calls itself a "Resistance team"--is exactly why Trump voters were excited at the prospect of Musk doing this. We cannot have a democracy if executive branch employees think they have license to "Resist" the elected President's agenda.
The guy is passing budgetary laws without congress, has been made untouchable by the supreme court, pardoned the violent Jan 6 rioters (despite claiming to be "pro-order"), constantly scape-goats minorites and leftists, threatens war with allies, colludes with foreign fascists, is doing a thousand illegal sh*t a minute, but somehow this is no big deal and we should just ignore it.

Scrutiny and accountability for this systematic dismantling of our democracy is the only sane thing to do. You're either very blind to the gravity of the situation or extremely dishonest.
Just to be a little pedantic: Your refinery example isn't a trolley problem, because there are more than two choices, and one of the possible choices is "don't build it in the first place". The refinery example allows foresight, which the trolley problem doesn't. "I would build the tracks differently" isn't a possible answer to the trolley problem. The whole point is that it's too late to make any other decision than "kill few" or "kill many".

We see very clearly how assumptions and reliance on scientific theory eliminates the ability of a scientist to consider possibilities outside of a given dogma.

I was pretty excited to hear that Ladybird is doing a lot of stuff in Swift, because I think it's a pretty decent and fast language and I think it'd be pretty neat to see a browser written in it.
Any desktop computer + Intel dual GB NIC + opnsense and you have an amazingly powerful router. Add in a Raspberry Pi running the Omada controller software and some Omada access points and you have an inexpensive and very robust WiFi network. Don’t forget to turn on auto updates for opnsense.
Anything improving reasoning chains of though improves planning. Right now the long term ones Art mentioned like logging in have been around 80% while simpler ones have been higher. Right now our main issue is figuring out how to keep the server up :/ we're getting a little more traffic than expected. However, to bump those success rates up (which we need to) we really really need to fine tune additional models which we're planning out right now.

I have a few ideas around that mostly going down the RL route (with a twist) mixed with some knowledge graph work. We'll give an update when we push that!

Why do people want to pay for Oracle when PostgreSQL and MySQL are free and work well?
That's why you'd usually want to only use the H2 as an intermediate step on the way to some other e-fuel. Which can be as simple as iron powder to be oxidized at the application site. But the first step, in all e-fuel processes, is always the hydrolyser. Coupled with with local H2 storage so that at least the downstream processes can operate closer to 24/7 than the hydrolyser. Batteries don't scale to seasonal, fuels created downstream of a hydrolyser do. The trick is to build the hydrolysers (and downstream processors) at sites where that H2 buffer is easily created. Salt caverns are the usual candidate.

(yes, this is a little off topic under an article about an H2 excavator. But if they solve all those problems, I'll applaude them, because at one point we'll either have green H2 available or we'll cease to be an industrial society, of they don't, well it's their problem they tried, not mine)
Interesting insight into Elon Musk but whether or not he actually meant to do "Nazi salutes" seems like speculation.

Thats one end of the spectrum.

One of my employers once ordered a pallet of Huawei routers. They turned up with a custom firmware provided by a different ISP. It was completely locked down, and only configurable via TR-069 and some proprietary Huawei ONT magic.

I also had a customer once that deployed a series of routers that were cloud managed only via the ISP. Not even TR-069 but they just did DHCP and phoned home via a proprietary protocol. Magic my customer said, he can just reboot customer routers remotely. The company that manufactured that router went bust 8 months later, leaving a bunch of preconfigured routers without a cloud portal and no path forward. Surprised I havent seen a DNS hijack published for them yet.
So, like Hacker News?
There's so many ways to do this with tiling window managers, keyboard managers for browsers, scriptable keyboards, etc.

My personal setup is Guake for instant terminal, chat gpt cli, Firefox + vimium, and a tiling gnome extension (wintile I believe).

AFAIK, that's how lots of restaurants keep their stock chilled, at least in my area. They have relatively noisy exchangers outside connected to their fridges that are indoors.
Why do you think the rich get richer when operating an AI is a price competition and training new models gives only a short competitive advantage? I would hope that for each individual there opens an ocean of opportunities that is sustained by all humans that came before and poured their bucket of knowledge into it.
From what I can tell you need to be lucky. When I register my (European) account there are ARM resources left and they were easy to claim. I think I was lucky because they just expanded a data center somewhere nearby, though, I think there was info about it on a Reddit post somewhere.

I don't think the forever-free tier allows cross region instances. You may just need to register an account in another region where they have more resources, but it's anyone's guess where Oracle still has them.

It's a neat playground but as should be blatantly obvious it's not worth investing too much time into, because they can make it disappear without recourse for no reason without warning.
This doesn't actually solve the original problem. Either something was always there or something can come from nothing, and both of those seem to violate causality as we understand it. Saying "God was always there" isn't really that different from "The universe was always there" when it comes to resolving the violation of causality.

> If instead we have an inflation, and so you have a disincentive to leave the cash under your pillow, you invest it (give to that company to fund its factory). That’s good for society.

There's a lot of "ifs" here with little evidence they're true or necessary.

Without examining all of the "ifs" let me just characterize the argument as fundamentally pro-corporation. I think it's better for society that corporations justify the money invested in them rather than artificially structuring the money such that people are forced to hand their money over to corporations as a form of wealth preservation because Paul Krugman said we'd have a Great Depression otherwise.
Google provides me a list of California law firms willing to defend against a pedal confusion liability claim. Maybe I’m missing something?
The issue is treating "AI" as something special. It is just derivative work.

They are called large language _models_ for a reason. They are just statistical models of existing work.

If anybody seriously thought they were intelligent, they'd be arguing for giving them personhood and we'd see massive protests akin to pro-life vs pro-choice. People (well, ML companies) only use the word "intelligence" as long as it suits their marketing purposes.
Brawl over Tariffs on EV Graphite Will Test Musk's Sway with Trump
> I think most people feel like the Sun Microsystems products all got worse after the Oracle purchase. E.g., Solaris, Java.

Licenses apart - Java actually improved, but Oracle's name is so tainted that a lot of people ran for the hills the moment they acquired Sun. Solaris support on a lot of platforms used by my employer simply vanished within 36 months (in enterprise terms, that's instantaneous) because every customer started working on a migration/exit strategy as soon as they learned of the acquisition. Once a critical mass of customers was headed out, it got dropped as a platform by a lot of developers, and eventually Oracle itself put it on life support.

So yes, Oracle's name is THAT powerful it can kill you by association. Lawnmower story etc.
More info needed but for 5k you can get a near maxed mbp that should be able to handle most models, perform pretty well, and also serve as your laptop so it’s not a pure AI box. Then if you have heavier needs go to the cloud.

I think that for the most part federal employees are good people who work just as hard for one president as another. I used to work at a government agency. It was full of fantastic, dedicated, hard working people.

But in recent years there seems to be a large number of people who think that being a federal employee gives them the right to use their positions to “Resist” what people voted for. And such thinking has no place in our democracy. And it’s shameful that federal employees didn’t condemn what happened in 2017.
