This is a good place to interject a point about copyright training that people overlook, conflate, or don't realize.

There are two types of "training on copyright material"

1.) Training on material that is copyrighted and behind a paywall, but you circumvent the paywall. This is unambiguously illegal, as the material is pay to view.

2.)Training on material that is copyrighted, but free for anyone to consume. This is ambiguous in legality, but right now seems to be leaning in AI training favor - as long as the models don't verbatim share the material.

There is also another point about copyright material being ad-supported, and obviously the AI doesn't view/care about ads. There is a decent case to be made that this is illegal, but then is ad blocking actually theft?

Note my prior "... anyone with serious cancer should (1) ..." disclaimer.

If the cancer that you already have is (say) 10% likely to kill you, then waiting several years - for researchers to nail down details - is likely far riskier than taking aspirin now.

(No, you can't be an idiot about it. Aspirin at 50g/kg would kill you faster than any cancer could, etc., etc.)

I did not get the feeling that the author was against AI, but rather was bemoaning that students were using it to avoid learning. Philosophy is a good example of a subject where the knowledge is a means to developing your own cohesive principles. You don’t have to ever evolve your principles beyond their organic development, but why even bother taking a philosophy class at that point.

The ideal philosophy class is probably Aristotelian, with direct conversation between teacher and student. But this is inefficient, so college settled on using essays instead, where some of that conversation happened with the student themself as they worked through a comprehensive argument and then the teacher got to “efficiently” interject through either feedback or grading. This also resulted in asymmetric effort though, and AI is good at narrowing effort dynamics like that.

The author’s point was that the student’s effort isn’t a competition against the teacher to minmax a final grade but rather part of developing their thinking, so your “day of reckoning” seems to be cheering for students (and maybe people) to progressively offload more of their _thinking_ (not just their tasks) to AI? I’d argue that’s a bleak future indeed.

Where I disagree with the author is in worrying about devaluing a college degree. It shouldn’t be necessary for many career paths, and AI will make it increasingly equivalent to having existed in some town for 4 years (in its current incarnation). I’m all for that day of reckoning, where the students going to university want to be there for the sake of learning and not for credentialing. Most everyone else will get to fast-forward their professional lives.
> you realize you burned two precious decades accumulating money that, honestly, does not help you at all make sense or use of the next two

You are describing some extreme case of money chasing and/or complete ignorance to everything else. Having the "luxury" to be covered financially for the rest of your life allows you to pursue whatever goals you have in mind at mid-life. If you are susceptible to not knowing what you want, having less money won't help you find out but having more money might.

Is it any better to know what you want to do for the next 2 decades and not ever be able to afford do it? From a practical perspective you are still missing the opportunities you want or dream of, except you're also doing it with little or no financial buffer for the things you need.

Sounds amazing and like it addresses my issues with Nebula. I know that Nebula/Defined Networks was/is working on better Kubernetes integration, but it seems unlikely to become generally available. Is that something you're supporting? i.e. as pod sidecar to authenticate services like nebula has ACL.

What's your funding model? Are enterprises willing to sponsor the development?

I think Nebula has a lot of trust solely because it's made at/used by Slack. In a similar sense, why should enterprises trust OpenZiti? If services do not use e2ee (e.g. service mesh with TLS) but rely on OpenZiti, it places a lot of trust in OpenZiti. How has the code been audited? Why are you confident that it's cryptographic implementation is secure?

You're conflating the Steele Dossier and the Mueller investigation [1].

> However, the House Intelligence Committee, then controlled by Republicans, released in 2017 a report that stated that the Russia investigation had not started from information in the Steele dossier, but from information that the FBI received on George Papadopoulos.

Do not draw a false equivalence between a private investigation self-admitted by Steele to be an unverified "starting point for further investigation" [2] and an official completed US investigation created by Republican Rod Rosenstein, led by Republican Robert Mueller. Republican William Barr, after preemptively declining to charge obstruction of justice, declining to release the executive summaries of the Mueller investigation to Congress, and omitting multiple details about whether Trump's actions were knowing vs. unknowing, still affirmed ten instances of potential obstruction [1][3].

Both: genocide often happens during war, and the one that has been carried out by Israel against the Palestinian population for most of the last 60 years certainly fits that model.
Slightly off-topic but it's related to wolves.

My parents' neighbours have a huge number of goats in their property. It really is in the middle of nowhere Northern Portugal and for decades everyone always said "oh the wolves are gone, they used to be such a menace to our animals but not anymore. Barely any need for guard dogs".

However, there is a small (200~300) population of wolves and since Covid it seems they got less scared of people, or more brave and desperate because the intense forest fires have ravaged their turf. Last year they attacked the goats and killed dozens of them. It was, according to my dad, one of the goriest things he ever saw.

Guess what, the guard dogs are back, nobody says it's all a thing in the past. On one hand it's great news that wolves are making a comeback but there's always the other side.

I tried this with ollama run, and it had no effect at all.
Bad comparison. People who are critical of others' complaints about creating and/or logging in to a GitHub account like this aren't going through the trouble of creating a GitHub account in 2025 (as opposed to, say, 2015) and are clearly logging in once and staying logged in.

I encourage you to try an experiment where you pick three or four (or more) times a day to log out of your HN account and only log back in the next time you need to perform some action that requires an account/authorization. Now do the same with GitHub and compare the experience. They've made merely logging in such a massive pain in the ass that somehow goes beyond the anticipated pain around "here's a forced 2FA workflow you didn't ask for but have to run through, anyway". All so you can be generous with your time to someone else's benefit and e.g. leave a signpost comment with answers to a shared problem in some neglected bugtracker, but it's real a kicker when this is interrupting a semi-flow state.
If only Apple could make a laptop that could last more than two days with the clamshell closed and energy settings set to the most conservative.

It's not who releases it, it's who is the target that makes the difference. AMD chooses not to sue the researchers, whereas a game console maker would probably sue.
Neither. Most of it is grants/loans to students or grants to schools (e.g. for special ed programs, facility improvements, and to provide additional money to poor school districts). The majority of the budget goes to Federal Student Aid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Student_Aid.

Small nitpick; RSS is still alive and well, but it's in the podcast space and slowly getting phased out by Apple and Spotify (in fact, most podcast SaaS's make it really hard to find the bare RSS feed). I think t would have fared well for blogs and news sites, but economic forces found it oppositional to their subscription model.

I'm not a doctor either, just a postgrad pre-med student with a heart problem (so I read a lot about the heart). I know just enough to be dangerous, but I do know you're right about the two types of stroke and the benefit of aspirin in preventing ischemic strokes (clots).

And until recently, daily aspirin was recommended for that, even for people with no history of heart disease. But AIUI, now the American Heart Association (2019) [1], U.S. Preventive Service Task Force (2022) [2], and the European Society of Cardiology (2019) [3] all say that for people with no history of cardiovascular disease, daily aspirin has little to no net benefit in younger patients and increases mortality in older patients.

Of course, the possibility of preventing metastasis adds another benefit, and may tip the balance back in favor of aspirin therapy.

Oh it’s much worse than that, and it wasn’t everybody in Cornell undergrad, it was a grand total of like 45 undergrads at Cornell who signed up for extra credit (which I imagine is a pretty big confounding factor - the A students don’t need it, and the F students don’t bother, on top of the massive confounding factor of only measuring undergrads from Cornell - they didn’t measure any people who are truly incompetent or unskilled).

The DK experiment depends on people ranking themselves against the cohort, other people who they don’t know. The DK effect probably doesn’t exist, it has been argued compellingly that the paper does not demonstrate what it claims to.

Are you saying HP is building laptops that ship with Windows that lack drivers provided by HP?
It might backfire for sure, but being financially independent gives you freedom to figure that out for the rest of the life.

IMO it's a lot better than the situation I myself am in right now, when I can clearly see myself working my ass off for the next 20-25 years in domains I totally hate, and then hopefully I can start working on interesting things when I'm ... 65?

I'd further argue that the only downside of my strategy is that you already have a clear non-monetary objective but decided to go with the money for 20 years. That's definitely a bad thing, and that's why in my original reply I rooted this out -- if you already have an objective, go for it.
That's exactly my next step for this project—letting humans join the game!
This is sweet news. I'm over 40. I enrolled at my local university in January and I'm studying (literally right now) for my linear algebra midterm [0] which is in 45 minutes! I'm on HN to calm my nerves.

I graduated high school in the early 2000s and graduated college with major in computer science and a minor in math. My goal is 5-8 more classes for a second degree in math (major).

Wish me luck!

> People pirate Photoshop because its outrageously expensive relative to the value that it provides to the pirating user

Why would this be the case? Surely it's because pirating it is cheaper and there aren't any enforced consequences.
Do you have a complex Ansible setup? For the few bespoke VMs I need, I've been able to get away with cloud init so far - but they're explicitly set up to be reasonable to nuke and recreate - if they had more personality and needed to be more managed as pets - I would probably need to reach for something like Ansible - or see if I could build images (vm or Docker).

But then with images I'm on the hook for patching... Not simply auto-patching via apt...
When the company I worked for for 20 years was sold to a muuuch larger company, people from the new company were telling us how they just finished a big audit from MS and they did well and they were so happy they came out more or less clean. Not just relieved they made it through a trial that some douchebags imposed on them, actually pleased with themselves for pleaseing MS is what it almost felt like.

I was boggled that anyone would be happy about any part of that.

I had successfully avoided letting us ever rely on any MS services other than most people's desktops were Windows.

I can't even imagine so much as letting MS or anyone else even in the building to go through our shit to satisfy their desire to know if any of our machines were running any of their software. I'm sure it's part of some license agreement that you agree to be subject to audits or else you don't get to buy the stuff at all but still.

I can't imagine being pleased that some douchebags have audited me and said I was a good boy this year.

As a linux user it boggles me what people are willing to put up with and consider it not only normal but even valid.

I'm not full Stallman and I will use proprietary stuff when I have to, and deal with it's terms, but I never even slightly actually internalize the vendors ideas about what I should do.

It’s easy to take unlikely risks when you already have a “never need to work again” windfall.

I can’t risk my retirement nest egg.

If Peter Thiel ended PayPal with $55 million that means he could set aside ~$5-10 to live the rest of his life and risk the rest.

So really I would argue that having a risk-adjacent personality isn’t related to skill. Thiel was willing to throw half a million dollars at random tech startups done by college dropouts and he also had a social network of his own thanks to doing the same with PayPal.

So it’s about networking, capital, and timing more than skill.

Thiel would be a nobody if he was born 10 years later. Where is the PayPal-like opportunity in today’s tech landscape? The modern startup is wildly capital heavy and loses money for possibly decades (e.g., Lyft just made its first profit EVER in 2024).
> You can own the NFT and the physical t-shirt, and sell the NFT to someone else but give them a fake t-shirt

That's a very smart way to achieve nothing. You now have created an actual copy on a shirt, at your cost, and proceeded to still own a shirt that has no market value now that you don't have it's authenticity proof. Seems like a very smart thing to do.
What I’m saying is - permanently changing the world order and inducing a recession is not going to be politically popular in the US over 4 years. Republicans will lose the mid terms and the presidential election. Their plan will be blocked because it’s going to take a long time to unwind the current order. How will they protect their incomplete plan and maintain it over the long term? If they are not successful over the short term then over the long term it will unravel. So what’s the plan?

Elon will be uplifted into the next level of the simulation? Is that the plan?
> Exact amount of times it happen doesn't matter as much as the fact that one side tries to pretend it isn't a problem.

I'm not saying it is not a problem at all - I am simply saying that it is a nothingburger compared to the amount of "ordinary" rape and violence going on in prisons. Trying to blast on trans people while ignoring the much larger elephant in the room is dishonest and reminds me of a Bible quote: "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

As a general rule, the more unpopulated your locale is and the more niche your searches from that location are the easier it is for Microsoft to create a profile of you despite ddg's own intentions.
For example, you would probably be the only Real Betis fanatic who builds their own smart home devices suffering with tongue cancer and who happens to live in <smallGermanTown>, and Microsft could establish that profile as long as ddg sends the town info to Microsoft with every separate search within some time window.
Okay. have it your way.

The thought that the vote was "real close to 50-50" and "trump didn't get a majority of the vote" and "therefore we just need to do what we're doing and it'll work out OK in 2028 and the midterms" is what the video clip i linked was talking to.

Specifically, nearly every reply to my comment, other than yours, argued that "the number of counties that switched" is irrelevant, as if that happened by accident, as if your neighbors apparently changing from blue to red for the 2024 election isn't a bellwether of something else. Trump still got a plurality of votes. Asking "why" is something that needs to be done.

Nearly every comment assumed something about me, because i quoted a statistic. I knew, because i have been on internet forums for over a quarter century, that no matter how i phrased my comment, i was going to get downvoted and argued with.
Which has me wondering if the entire point is to make the politicians critically aware of how absurd AI performance monitoring isn't as innocuous as those selling it to the politicians will make it out to be.

My main problem with CDK is that it only outputs a CloudFormation stack. I can sign up for a new cloud account, spin up a k8s cluster, deploy everything to it, and restore the database snapshot faster than CF will finish a job that's stuck on UPDATE_CLEANUP_IN_PROGRESS.

Of course there's also cdk8s, but I'll probably go with Pulumi instead if I need that. Right now I'm happy with helmfile, though not so much with helm itself. So I'll definitely be giving Yoke a look.
The thing, being poor doesn't buy one a sense of purpose too. Money for sure doesn't solve the issue, but it gives you all the freedom to solve it for the rest of your life.

They’ll buy the cheap cars then complain 20 years later that the politicians shipped the jobs to China, of course. It’s a tragedy of the commons.

At 10:1 of and you spend 15k per kid per year. You get 150k per class so 100k for the teacher and 50k for overhead. This is all quite reasonable. The problem is that overhead is much too high and that 1 in 5 kids need additional services that really destroy that ratio and you end up at 30:1
Clean hierarchy? How do I even guess if some config-file is hidden in ~/.config/ or ~/.local/share? I never figured that out.

Grinding is soul-sucking, and having someone at home was the only way I made it through the roughest patches.

> Performance notice: values of type int64 occupy more memory space than values of type int

I just couldn't even imagine that a 64-bit int would require MORE memory than an int that is one bit less (or 33 bits less if on a 32-bit architecture).

It really makes absolutely no sense discussing OCaml as a possible systems-level programming language.
