ACARS isn't ATC traffic. It's semi-private communications with airline company dispatch. Text-based ATC communications is done over a different system called CPDLC (FANS-1/A).

That said, this is no different than listening to any other unencrypted, non-cellular radio traffic. Totally legal everywhere (except a few rare exceptions, like the UK).

And as I mentioned in my other comment, in the US the ECPA specifically says you can listen to aeronautical radio traffic.
I am a human so I can visit other sites with links or from word of mouth or business cards or literally anywhere?

LLM finds out about it from me, when I ask it to go to the link.

You don’t accuse browsers of “somehow find[ing] the existence of those pages”. How does a browser know what page to visit?

The user tells it to.

If I prompt an LLM “go to example.net and summarize the page” how is that any different from me typing example.net in a browser URL bar?

It badly hallucinated in my test. I asked it "Rust crate to access Postgres with Arrow support" and it made up an arrow-postgres crate. It even gave sample Rust code using this fictional crate! Below is its response (code example omitted):

I can recommend a Rust crate for accessing PostgreSQL with Arrow support.
The primary crate you'll want to use is arrow-postgres, which combines the PostgreSQL connectivity of the popular postgres crate with Apache Arrow data format support.
This crate allows you to:

Query PostgreSQL databases using SQL
Return results as Arrow record batches
Use strongly-typed Arrow schemas
Convert between PostgreSQL and Arrow data types efficiently
I agree on almost all of your points, but what makes you think it's only/primarily the "public sector" that is being blown up by bullshit jobs?
I've worked for a fair amount of private sector companies and the amount of "bosses nephew", "copy data from one form to another twice a day" and "waste everyone's time by creating pointless meetings" jobs was already more than enough to explain the status quo.
It’s illegal for more than that
I feel like a closer comparison would be a very talented artist drawing their own obscene content and keeping it to themselves. This seems like it should obviously be legal, gross as it is.

In your example I would think that harm being rendered against the now dead is still harm that occurred against a person who was living at the time??
It is possible to simultaneously be a victim of the system and for other people to be worse off victims of the system.

All workers can and should unite to protect themselves from the capitalist class. Tech professionals should not feel guilty merely because they are less oppressed than the other workers.
>If unions don't increase worker compensation, why would they cause companies to offshore jobs?

Because unions are a headache for management to deal with and that headache is much worse than compensation, which is a budget-line item, and doesn't personally impact anyone in management.

The AWU, for e.g, has political goals that represent what a small minority of Alphabet employees want but end up being a pain in a for anyone to deal with.
> These models should not exist. Ever. By any means. Do not pass Go. Go directly to jail.

If it's possible to produce CSAM that doesn't involve actual children and have a measurable impact in profitablity and demand of the real thing, leading to a net reduction in the harm done to children wouldn't you be on the wrong side of the argument you think you're making?

> I understand the engineering brain enough to contemplate abstract concepts with detachment.

I would argue it's a rational take.

Can we agree the goal to reduce harm of children is good? Or only if the solution is comfortable to you?
Yes, that's a transcription mistake on my part. Unfortunately the edit window has closed already. Sorry for the confusion.
Not the author.

Each instruction is an heap allocated closure, but it's allocated at “compile” time (when you generate the instruction from the AST), not at runtime (every time you run the instruction): by then they're (preallocated) free standing functions that receive the VM.

Every iteration of the loop in a big switch bytecode interpreter also requires a bounds checks.

Pay like other things is something you mentally calibrate to. Once you have then it has only marginal impact on your happiness and mental well-being. Let's say your TC is $120k or $80k or even $250k you're going to adjust your lifestyle to this. So sure, you can drive a nicer car and live in a nicer place for $250k but now you also maybe have to make payments on your nicer car and your nicer house and those things may not make you any happier.

Not everyone in the world is doing it - because not everyone can do it and not everyone is motivated to get to the point where they can do it, even if they could.

Oh, for sure. I guess what I'm wondering is if we know the Small model (in this case) is too small -- or if we just haven't figured out how to train well enough?

Like, have we hit the limit already -- or, in (say) a year, will the Small model be able to recall everything the Big model does (say, as of today)?

I don't know about that. The legal questions here are similar to those presented by human drawings/paintings, ie are such materials contraband even if they are fictional rather than documentary in nature. Of course, AI makes it vastly easier to produce because it requires little time or talent to operate, but you can imagine a similar case involving a finely-rendered pencil drawing.

Explicitly legal. ECPA has an carve out for listening to aeronautical radio traffic:

18 U.S.C. § 2511(2)(g)(ii)(I/IV):

"It shall not be unlawful under this chapter or chapter 121 of this title for any person to intercept any radio communication which is transmitted by any station for the use of the general public, or that relates to ships, aircraft, vehicles, or persons in distress;... or by any marine or aeronautical communications system."
Hey Jeff! Are there any plans to offer the Sky voice again?
You're under-estimating how easy it is to do good enough. During the dot com boom many people with academic degrees in various fields tried to move over to software development with very limited success. That's like the top few % of the population to start with. Only some tiny fraction of those were in the good enough to successful range and many were ejected from the market when it crashed to never come back.

Background tasks that involve human inputs that you could automate:

- Email inbound/outbound

- Social media

- Invoicing

- Code analysis/generation

- Video editor

For one project, trimming and editing down video is very time consuming. An agent works all day in the background - it takes hours but I don't have to think about it, I get an email when it's done. I only think about getting the overall footage now.

But my most used "agent" is a job that runs every hour in Node, consuming news from a list of APIs and then routing to a variety of other things based on what the news category is. Sometimes it posts to one of my LinkedIn pages, or it might email me some links, or upgrade my codebase and create a PR.

I built a personal Salesforce-like experience for my wife's business and pretty much every input she ever has to fill out for an invoice or status update is autocompleted with an LLM. She can regenerate/edit of course. Part of this involves agentic flows, like running CoT on previous invoices and combining live data to generate a new invoice.

With agents, you become an approver more than a doer.

It helps a lot that I run essentially an in-home data center with all on-prem LLM infra :)

Frankly, I don't have a dog in the fight either. I have to wonder if those writing the refutations do.

But frankly, if it is viable, it will be done by one of the majors. Just look at the overfishing problem. Then everyone will just buy from them and ignore the destruction. Like all the other tragedies of the commons, it takes leadership to avoid them (and shame, or at least a desire for truth) that this world does not currently have.

> Class consciousness is firmly in the zeitgeist

More like people who work in some media companies have certain political beliefs that may or may not be out of touch of broader society. Witness their constant surprise at election results as an example.
> That people like video formats isn't really surprising to me since it's everywhere, but I still don't fully understand the appeal.

Me either, but I have a hunch about why.

Are you a fast reader?

I am, at least compared to the population at large. And one of the reasons I can't stand video as a format for learning about coding topics is that it is so frustratingly slow compared to my reading speed. To get anywhere close, I have to crank the playback speed up so high that I start having trouble understanding what the presenter is saying. That's on top of other things like poor searchability and no way to copy-paste code snippets.

The decline of reading skills, at least in the US, is pretty well-documented. And my hunch is that for the increasingly large number of people coming into the industry who don't read quickly or well, the efficiency of learning from videos is closer to parity with text. What's more, I suspect there's high correlation between lower reading skills and dislike of the act of reading, so videos are a way to avoid having to do something unpleasant.

I have no solid evidence to back any of this up, but it seems at least as plausible to me as any other explanations I've run across.
Thanks! We already use self-hosted runners on physical machines with NVMe drives that we assembled ourselves. I was wondering if there's something else you're doing for the caching.

This is absolutely not true. Generalization is a key capability of image generation models.

The worst justification for a criminal prohibition that I can think of is that it is provides a convenient out for the difficulty of proving another, more clearly warranted, crime.

I think there's still a lot of inconsistency and judgement that happens for gauging whether someone is junior and for what skills they might have. Many software engineers don't have CS degrees at all and even more have ones from different countries.

I am unable to find concrete numbers on this, but I would bet that the majority of employed engineers in the US do not carry a professional engineering certification.
Statistically, you'd expect this to result in depictions of children with public hair - some adults opt to get rid of theirs, but most have it. Are you sure you're not projecting your prior knowledge about human biology onto an image transformer model?

> I see a lot of your posts in this thread arguing how things will be okay and we aren't in a constitutional crisis yet but that doesn't seem to be a great response to the point that it looks like Trump is driving imminently towards one.

I understand that my emphasizing a difference between 'driving toward a crisis' and being in the midst of one may seem like splitting hairs but I hope it isn't.

If you take Trump at his word, the crisis is certain. But he bloviates constantly. He might try to disassemble democracy or ignore a SCOTUS decision. But he might back down. He's in a pretty decent spot and it doesn't make sense to risk it all on a few deportations or civil service firings.

So I disagree with the certainty of a constitutional crisis and hope it sounds well-reasoned. Remember this is the guy who promised to fix the budget deficit, crime, immigration, healthcare...

To your original point, I reiterate that the immunity decision - while terrible - doesn't grant the president any additional powers. It simply allows him to test the limits of existing authorities without legal consequence. Ignoring court orders is still illegal and SCOTUS did not change that in Trump v. US. I am not sure why saying this "missed the point" unless the point was to underscore the urgency of the situation.

Most "contract killers" aren't the super pro movie kind. (Though I'm sure they exist.) Most are young guys, or children even, doing sloppy hit-n-runs to climb some gang hierarchy for really not a lot of money.

Yes, and this goes for a lot of things. You can sue even if the other person was really clever.

I mean, these are like, 12 year old boy logic. "Ahh I'm not touching you!" while they wave their hand in your face. That doesn't fly in the legal world.

Also, just because you sign a contract doesn't mean you can't sue either. You can! Many, maybe most, contracts are invalid. You can't just write down whatever and make the other person do it. You can fight non-competes, NDAs, you name it.

Also, if you got fired for "performance" (air quotes) that doesn't mean you can't sue. You can! Most discrimination cases occur when someone is fired for "performance". HR isn't stupid.
It’s certainly one thing in the zeitgeist but I still have the sense that culture war stuff has a much firmer grip on a larger number of people and has a lot more power to swing elections.

That includes both its left wing “woke” form and its right wing reactionary form.

Very anecdotal but it also seems that the culture war stuff is stronger among those making less money, which would be the target audience for any class revolt rhetoric. Could be wrong though. Maybe my sample size is just small.

I’ve also been guilty of insisting on this, even when, as you point out, most tooling doesn’t strictly follow it anyway. I think it’s an overreaction from being irritated at seeing app after app fall to “now including AI,” or just pivoting for new features because it wasn’t making money fast enough.

FWIW, I’ve been using *nix for about 25 years, and had zero problems adapting to ripgrep. You kept -i and -v, which honestly covers 90% of common usage.
I don't think the way you're approaching this is in keeping with HN guidelines.

You seem to have jumped straight from "everyone agrees with my view" to "the people who disagree with me are acting in bad faith", skipping the much more likely "other people hold views that differ from my own".

As a native English speaker who lives in the US I don't need to check a search engine to understand the common meaning of the term. Sometimes people have different impressions of these things. About the only thing you could attempt to argue is that I'm in the extreme minority. I don't think you'd get very far with that though because it's unlikely that you have the evidence to back up such a claim.

For all your apparent outrage the Oxford example that you cited is the closest you've come to presenting valid evidence in support of your position. However if you examine the paragraph just above your quote you will see that it is rather academic in nature. Having glanced at it I can't say that the description presented matches what I encounter in common usage by laymen. (I include myself in that category. I am by no means a political scientist or remotely well studied.)

More generally, I think you've picked a fundamentally unwinnable position here. All it takes for me to be correct (and you to be demonstrably in the wrong) is for people in the area where I live to commonly use the terminology in the way I'm describing. And indeed they do, because I'm in a fairly far left part of the country.

Now you can certainly object that the population at large where I live is misusing the term. But without a central governing body for the language that's going to be extremely difficult to argue. Either way it won't change common usage here. It's simply the difference between "commonly used in that manner" versus "commonly used in that manner, incorrectly".

If it is trained on well-tagged images of adult men and women both clothed and unclothed, and clothed children (not that all pictures of unclothed children are CSAM to start with), understanding the relation of clothed to unclothed appearance could allow a model to reasonably generalize unclothed child bodies.

Further, models that are otherwise well trained with a mix of photographic and drawn content can often generalize specific concepts for which their training only includes examples from drawn content to photorealistic imagery involving that concept.
Just as useless except you make 10x more and can spend your spare time doing everything a grad student can, so what's the problem?
As you point out, that causes corrosion, using up the metals (well, using up their galvanic potential energy anyways). These nodules are A) extremely old and B) extremely slow growing/generating. If that were the source of the electric fields, it couldn't be sustained long enough to be a stable source and it would result in the nodules corroding away (or at least one of the metals corroding until there was no longer electrochemical potential, which would end the effect).

In other words, for that to be the source, then that would imply that something about our understanding of how these nodules form would be off by many orders of magnitude.

They would have to be forming so quickly, that the concerns about using them up would almost go away (assuming that harvesting didn't disrupt the process of formation that is).

Part of the reason why there is concern here is that these nodules (as we currently understand it) form so slowly (literally millions of years), that if we harvest them, then they are, for all intents and purposes, gone forever. So if they do have important ecological functions, then those functions are completely wiped out.

But if they are actually forming on the order years (and I can't imagine that it could possibly be any slower than that for galvanic/corrosive processes to be the answer, and in fact probably faster), then that concern goes away. Harvest one section of a field, go away for a decade, and it's restored.
It breaks websites when you do that.
