I'm not sure how this actually matters. Knowing this ruling exists, why would anyone ever claim an AI created their art without human assistance? Even if the AI created the art just from the prompt, the human still made the prompt.

Even if the prompt was "make art".

I just don't understand how you could ever have AI art without human intervention. Is there a legal definition of "human intervention" that has some minimum amount of work?

> "If you are a-political you implicitly support what’s happening."

Stop saying that. Stop stirring up people and instead let sleeping dogs lie.

From a detailed post-election analysis posted on HN earlier today (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43400172): "The reality is if all registered voters had turned out, then Donald Trump would’ve won the popular vote by 5 points [instead of 1.7 points]. So, I think that a “we need to turn up the temperature and mobilize everyone” strategy would’ve made things worse."

Lots of people are indifferent or even supported what's happening and if your side continues to harass them they'll come out in even bigger numbers to vote against your side in the midterms or 2028. Hectoring people for being apolitical has been a losing strategy so stop following it.

It at least managed to regurgitate the fast multiply-by-10 algorithm, which of course exists in countless examples all over the web. But then, instead of maybe repeating that twice to multiply by 100, it produced absolutely insane code which - even at a glance - can't be correct unless the input happened to be zero:

First a bunch of random left shifts and additions that overshoot the target, then an even more directionless attempt of correcting the result that seems stuck in a loop until it just gives up. Kind of reminds me of "PanicSort" (xkcd.com/1185)

And as you mentioned, it ignores overflow, which might be a real problem since even if it worked correctly, it could only handle amounts up to $655.35. A better solution would have used BCD arithmetic, which the Z80 provides some dedicated instructions for.

We use AI code review and it is genuinely helpful, but I agree it's mostly just making my life easier to review my own PR by pointing out salient points I would otherwise not really think about.

This obviously is not a replacement for another human looking at your code, and I would not do it in safety critical environments, but it really helps especially in small teams where time is precious and you ship fast.

My only issue is that I would love a dedicated UI where I get this review BEFORE another human looks at the code, so their feedback is not drowned by the AI noise

Unreliable datetimes is just part of AT and something you need to deal with. The moment you start ingesting the firehose you'll see plenty of backdated or forward dated traffic. If you build feeds you need to be careful when using posted timestamps to sort feeds because of backdating and because there's no real centralized way to verify your timestamps. For my feeds I just reject posts that are beyond a certain delta from now and sort my feed by ingestion time rather than post time.

There's probably some sort of blockchain-based time-attestation like [1] that could help but this is beyond the scope of AT and something that probably needs a lot more thought before a serious proposal comes forth.

I prefer apt, but on my particular PC, Fedora is noticeably faster and more stable than Ubuntu. Not that I have system crashes, but I have smoother performance and gaming, and random GNOME apps crash much less on Fedora, so I use it. And there's no Snap -- unless you want it. YMMV.
Is there a downside to having a terrorism rider, other than higher premiums?

For example, if your insurance company would otherwise have to declare a claim as due to non-terrorism, and just pay it (because they'd probably lose in court if they didn't pay), but because you had the terrorism rider, they decide to declare it as due to terrorism, and then you get a less-desirable experience?

(For imagined example of less-desirable, maybe you have to wait longer to get paid while the company interacts with gov't, or the reimbursement is calculated or capped differently, or some consumer protection you'd normally have doesn't apply.)
This probably doesn't fit the two-team paradigm. When you consider the objectives might be something different from ensuring democrats win offices in two years, the rationale may make more sense.

So just don't tell anyone you used AI? How exactly are they going to prove it? And does this mean any works created with the assistance of graphics software, like Photoshop, are not copyrightable? What is the definition of AI here? They failed to define what AI means, which means that if there is no test, the ruling can't stand on its own.
> as long as it was a human that told the computer to make the image

There is the question of merit. IANAL/IIUC/etc., but I think it's necessary for a work to have merit to be copyrightable. Now, that's a somewhat vague term to me (perhaps it's clearer in a legal framework), but if I prompt "create a picture of a dog", the computer does most of the work. A prompt would have to be pretty concise, up to specifying all kinds of aspects of the image, for it to be the instructor's merit, to me (that's an important caveat).
Firefox auto translate is great from a technical perspective, and I think it's awesome to see it translate sentence by sentence, but the actual quality isn't great. It tends to keep word order and grammar and mostly just translate the words themselves, as you saw.

Here's the relevant section via DeepL:

In Austria, if a cow or similar livestock dies outside the slaughterhouse due to lightning, a fall, illness or for similar reasons, it is the responsibility of the owner, i.e. usually the farmer, to ensure that the carcass is removed and disposed of in order to protect waterways and maintain an intact landscape.[1] In the Vorarlberg Alps, there are around 20 such deaths per year. If the carcass is located on a mountain pasture or in another place that cannot be reached by truck, it can only be removed by helicopter. This cost 15,000 Austrian schillings in 2001. Adjusted for inflation, this corresponds to approx. 1,500 euros in 2025.[2]

Although at least in Vorarlberg 80 percent of these transportation costs were covered by the federal state, meaning that the farmer only had to pay approx. 3,000 shillings for the helicopter, it was common practice there to remove the animals by blasting on site instead. This only cost 500 shillings in 2001[2], so the farmer was able to save around 2,500 shillings (approx. 250 euros) by blowing up the animal. The explosion tore the animal into smaller pieces, which would then decompose more quickly or be disposed of by scavengers such as birds and foxes. The explosion was either caused by demolition experts, which in turn meant higher costs, or by the farmers themselves.

There isn't much grey in airstrikes on starving children shivering in tents. No sane, healthy person would approve of such an atrocity.

The israeli political establishment commonly declares genocidal intent against the palestinians, and uses military, sexual, reproductive and other means, including starvation, to realise this intent. This isn't really something to discuss, the reader can just go search for video clips with threats and Amalek rhetoric and how perpetrators of heinous crimes are paraded in israeli television. Whether it will hold in court is uncertain, in part because international law is not just a legal matter.

Buying a corporation that has it's technical division under such a regime seems like a bad idea to me, and I would also find the founders history with that state quite worrying.

In defense of the "it's security!" position (which is not mine): I think they mean a similar vulnerability could exist on the client side of the API. As in someone sends manipulated media that targets a vulnerability on the third party device, the media gets forwarded through the API, now that compromised third party device does bad things over the API.

Personally, I think that it's really just a convenient third party lockout excuse, but the argument isn't quite as bad as it may seem at first glance.

Show HN: I made a streak tracker for ProductHunt
One day I woke up and realized, oh f*ck dude, I forgot yesterday to check in at ProductHunt and boom, 400-day streak is gone.

I'm a human, that is addicted to streaks, look at my 600-day Duolingo streak or my Snapchat streaks with my friends.

So I built a tool that helps you to never ever forget your ProductHunt streak.

And well, I reached place 5 of the day, and this makes me really happy.

Some guys gave me feedback that I should build this tool not so general; instead, I should build it for every streak and not only for ProductHunt.

I think I will do this in the future, but technically you can already use it as any streak tracker you want.

Check it out now (Btw, it's completely free and will stay free FOREVER)
> once it is inside your program

Well, if it is in my program - or codebase of (design+code but mostly) lining-and-discipline by me - i don't need them type-checks. They give somewhat fake sense of correctness, kind of over-confidence. Maybe useful here or there, but like 1% (Given any inputs from outside are gated with checks/validations/conversions). One rarely sends by mistake a single float where a Point3D is needed. But move(x,y) and move(y,x) are wildly different things and no typing would catch that (except excessive&brittle stuff like Xcoord/Ycoord as types). Needs explicit naming (not typing), like move(x=a, y=b) or smth.moveX(a).moveY(b) or whatever.
Why? It's to useful to "belong" in the garbage.

The "closed" approach is way better when it involves guardrails rather than handcuffs. Pixels offer guardrails; they're just as secure as iPhones but offer a lot more freedom to power users.

Well then I guess it's settled - the US Federal Reserve notes are truly inferior to Bitcoin in terms of counterfeit resistance!

Humor aside, "When currency is deposited with a Federal Reserve Bank, the quality of each note is evaluated by sophisticated processing equipment. Notes that meet our strict quality criteria--that is, that are still in good condition--continue to circulate, while those that do not are taken out of circulation and destroyed. This process determines the lifespan of a Federal Reserve note."

Not only does the Federal Reserve routinely remove counterfeit notes from circulation, they even routinely remove non-counterfeit notes that are older or have physical damage from circulation!

You'll also find on the source link below, typical lifespans of circulation for various notes, as follows:

Denomination - Estimated Lifespan

$1 - 6.6 years

$5 - 4.7 years

$10 - 5.3 years

$20 - 7.8 years

$50 - 12.2 years

$100 - 22.9 years

So no, nobody is going to bat an eye at a 10-year-old 100-dollar federal reserve note, but by 25 years old, it would be likely to have already been removed from circulation. The 10-year timeframe you mention is more appropriate for $20 and below, but those notes tend to be counterfeited less than larger notes.

He is suggesting the opposite. Attacking every company run by someone you disagree with politically is a recipe for not being able to participate in society in any meaningful way. Musk's views are quite normal and are shared by people involved in every company and institution out there. Are you going to boycott them all?

These boycotts only work as isolated, selective outrage. It is the same with countries. If you wanted to be consistent, you'd have to boycott every country in the world. They all do some bad things.

I still can't believe the guy went to Indonesia, went into the monkeys' habitat, gained their trust, set up the camera on a tripod in a way the monkeys would have access to it, adjusted the focus/exposure to capture a facial close-up -- basically engineered the entire situation specifically for that outcome, and simply because he didn't physically hit the shutter he lost credit for the photo.

Get a job- anything where they will hire you and pay you. Use that to bootstrap yourself out of your car and into any kind of housing. Anything at all. Work that full time while you do freelance gigs until the freelance gigs pay about 2/3 of your income. Use the freelance money to fix your car etc. Now quit your job and uber 1/3 and freelance 2/3.

> “If everyone would just...” then you do not have a solution

Unfortunately this is not a reasonable argument. I get where you're coming from but what I'm asking is that everyone just do their job. Surely "do your job" has to be a reasonable version of this.

What I mean by "not be a dick" is to check the alignment, the goals of the process compared to what we're actually achieving. What is the point? The author of the article lays out a lot of reasons and even is stating how these things are well known. Which unfortunately means someone needs to actually take action. When we're in a situation where many people want change but no one is willing to fight for that change, then we will just keep doing what we've been doing and headed where we've been headed. Even if that is knowingly off a cliff.

I don't need everyone to just do something, I only need a few more people to stand up. And yes, I will tell those that are saying "keep your head down" to shut up. Some things are worth fighting for and for me, one of those things is the integrity of science.
