So many problems with your reasoning.

"Nothing was stolen from the artists but instead used without their permission"

Yes and no. Sure, the artist didn't loose anything physical, but neither did music or movie producers when people downloaded and shared MP3s and videos. They still won in court based on the profits they determined the "theft" cost them, and the settlements were absurdly high. How is this different? An artist's work is essentially their resume. AI companies use their work without permission to create programs specifically intended to generate similar work in seconds, this substantially impacts an artist's ability to profit from their work. You seem to be suggesting that artists have no right to control the profits their work can generate - an argument I can't imagine you would extend to corporations.

"The thing being used is an idea"

This is profoundly absurd. AI companies aren't taking ideas directly from artist's heads... yet. They're not training their models on ideas. They're training them on the actual images artists create with skills honed over decades of work.

"not anything the artist loses access to when someone else has it"

Again, see point #1. The courts have long established that what's lost in IP theft is the potential for future profits, not something directly physical. By your reasoning here, there should be no such things as patents. I should be able to take anyone or any corporation's "ideas" and use them to produce my own products to sell. And this is a perfect analogy - why would any corporation invest millions or billions of dollars developing a product if anyone could just take the "ideas" they came up with and immediately undercut the corporation with clones or variants of their products? Exactly similar, why would an artist invest years or decades of time honing the skills needed to create imagery if massive corporations can just take that work, feed it into their programs and generate similar work in seconds for pennies?

"What is there to complain about"

The loss of income potential, which is precisely what courts have agreed with when corporations are on the receiving end of IP theft.

"Why should others listen to the complaints"

Because what's happening is objectively wrong. You are exactly the kind of person the corporatocracy wants - someone who just say "Ehhh, I wasn't personally impacted, so I don't care". And not only don't you care, you actively argue in favor of the corporations. Is it any wonder society is what it is today?
One counter to this over 20 years in this game is there are plenty of people who confuse "having heated discussions" with being high functioning.

That is - I've been on lots of low functioning teams riven with conflict. Prima donna developers who publicly call managers/teammates stupid in meetings. Managers giving negative feedback in public instead of in private. Stubborn veteran team members telling newer team members to get a new job if they don't like how things are done.

One pattern I've seen in lower functioning teams with lots of conflict is some members being very well spoken, typically more classically trained like a philosophy background, probably a past debate club type kid. "Strong opinions, loosely held" type behavior where bad ideas were passionately argued by the more eloquent & aggressive team member until everyone else was exhausted and just let it run.

The kind of guys that would steamroll the rest of the team as a bunch of idiots for not agreeing with him, but flip to a charismatic "ah good point" when incontrovertible proof of their idea not being correct was presented. The problem is you can't provide incontrovertible proof in real time in most cases, and lots of managers confuse their passion/certitude for correctness.

So high functioning teams can have heated arguments & difficult people, but heated arguments do not in themselves lead to high functioning teams.
I believe some of the action around 1PM was auction related, but the options activity still looks strange.

Why would someone hedge with 0DTE options as opposed to normal options?

I’m no longer in that space, but I’d assume the OOTM strikes are less liquid than normal options, with higher theta as well. That looks like a very expensive hedge.

What kind of position would be hedged with these options that couldn’t be hedged with normal options?
You seem to have discovered the crime of insider trading and conveniently ignored the fact that it's a crime.
FedRAMP High is the mark you really want to hit for the US Government and GCP's service coverage is surprisingly broad in that realm.
Very possible, but you should provide data. The data we have suggests that Zelensky's approval is extremely high among the public and the consensus not to violate the constitution to hold elections during wartime is unanimous within the government.
now we know what ilya saw.
Rust is much easier to learn due to C/C++ books all being paid (even cmake wants you to buy their book) whereas Rust documentation is free. I bet more and more people are choosing to learn Rust over C/C++ for this reason, and the number of C/C++ devs will be decreasing.
Our experience was that conceiving before 30 was much easier than even early thirties. Watching our friends and colleagues struggling as you said with AI and fertility treatments was a real eye opener. I certainly don’t want to pressure my kids but they definitely should be more aware than they are.
> I give you a lot of clues on how to detect a bot I did not said that all people that disagree with me ar bots,

You're putting a bunch of barriers between hearing someone else's opinion and accepting it as valid.

> Read those hints again, is your account a f ew days old, do you only post about Israel?

In my case, no and no.

> do you comments appear super fast in response to my comments like it was triggered by alarms?

I do what plenty of other HN users do - I use a 3rd party service that notifies me when someone replies to any of my posts.

> can't be 100% sure if you are paid, could be someone doing is mandatory unpaid military service.

Which is exactly the problem with your approach. You can write off anyone, including me, as "well they are actually being paid". How can I prove that I'm not?

Also, most Israelis between the ages of 18-21 are doing their mandatory military service, that in itself isn't a reason not to listen to them.

Btw, military service is not unpaid; IDF soldiers receive a salary, though it's much lower than almost any market wage.
It’s a side effect of Ibogaine, the same drug that it was rumored Ed Muskie was on in the ‘72 campaign.
What it takes to actually destroy it (by applying pressure at a wrong point)?
LLMs have not earned your trust. Classic search has.

The only thing I really care about with classic web search is whether the resulting website is relevant to my needs. On this point I am satisfied nearly all the time. It’s easy to verify.

With LLMs I get a narrative. It is much harder to evaluate a narrative, and errors are more insidious. When I have carefully checked an LLM result, I usually discover errors.

Are you really looking closely at the results you get?
your trust scale needs more dynamic range- the sackler fiasco genuinely should have bumped everyone’s trust in doctors a lot, but probably should not have bumped them below supplement peddling minecraft youtubers.

Thanks to AI, Global datacenter electricity use will surpass Japan in 2030
Absolutely insane.

The world's richest man is also the most powerful bureaucrat in the world, and he's self dealing to his own company which is arguably the most powerful propaganda machine ever invented.

It's difficult to not despair in such a time.
That's how prosecution of insider trading crime is done.
> If you have a "cable TV" box that plugs into your fiber internet connection, it's probably receiving multicast UDP.

That's a good point: I suppose it's a big advantage being able to serve the same, unmodified MPEG transport stream from a CDN, as IP multicast over DOCSIS/GPON, and as DVB-C (although I’m not sure that works like that, as DVB usually has multiple programs per transponder/transport stream).
Given the myraid of issues they seem to have, I am not sure I would classify Pixels as having polish. But yes, they definitely have the talent to make some good hardware. It's just a matter of whether their priorities match those of their users.

Okay story time.

A friend in college is sitting at a bus stop. Somebody sits next to him, says "hey I like your shoes", strikes up a conversation. Ends up inviting him to a business/networking seminar.

My friend goes, comes back with a book and is saying all kinds of stuff about passive income and how you gotta take control of your finances.

I google the book name, the second result is a reddit thread about how somebody at a bus stop had their shoes complimented and then got recruited for the same thing. Turns out it was Amway.

So, yeah. 'I like your shoes' works well enough as a conversation starter that it's literally in the pyramid scheme manual.
They are doing it for the stable release as well:

This is obvious government contract baiting

You don't have to be a government agency to not want your company's data all over the place.
You're going to need a few specialized racks all wired up together. A single box won't be sufficient.
I made a trade (very small one) even though I had no clue about his post at the time. My trade was done on the basis that he was clearly either going to reverse or be removed (and then JD would reverse).
Sounds like a LOT of wishful thinking. It doesn’t matter what your boss wants. They were living in a fantasy land where they imagined the project going differently.
Yes indeed I can choose to avoid it at the individual level. Then I at least don’t want to be forced toxic water upon me.
A strong but constant reminder that companies are not your family or friends despite what will say the corporate bullshit.

You should never invest more of your time and energy than what is expected for your position. And keep your side activities and hobbies as personal things using your personal email and accounts.

This is also why you should not owe fidelity to your company and don't hesitate to switch if you have a good opportunity because on its side the company will not hesitate.

Everything might be good and you can generate money, and still the day you are in a redundancy for whatever reason you will be worthing nothing to the company. Like that, just like a replaceable cog. And you will be badly handled because "it is the company policy and we can't do anything than being harsh in such a situation".

The worse is that usually the decision is non-sense but the one deciding is not the one that has to deal with the decision and with you. So you will try to argue, and they will try to invent reasons to rationalize the decision that is imposed on them also, you will try to contest, and they will become angry to have their bullshit called and will double down... And you will feel bad, not understand the situation.

The only thing I can tell you is the that if you are in such a situation is to not worry and go on, except in rare cases, for everyone I saw it happened, the event was finally for the best because the next step in their life was better in the end: better job, better salary, better project, being able to do what you always dreamed to like create a company or evolve your career.
Lidl produces none of those, just brands them. More comparable would be something like Raid cookies I guess
Don't forget that homo sapiens is not the only humanoid species to evolve on this planet. We had a few different contemporaries in prehistory.
Or are you dismissing overt signalling of fascism as "just owning the libs"? Are you just cherry picking communication you feel safe about and ignoring the huge glaring signs being flashed by dozens of appointees? Are you pretending Obama and bush established legal precedents for classifying citizens as enemy combatants for rendition, denial of due process, and murder by drone without trial? That we don't have a better than 1984 turnkey oppression and total.monitorinf infrastructure for any despot of sufficient motivation which this admin has amply stated affection towards?

Language is important from leaders. So is consistency and some degree of integrity. Even disingenuous cowtowing to appearances and political norms constrains power and abuse.
I agree that the marketing of some very expensive watch brands is over the top, and that some of the people wearing those might be rather smug. But you're overlooking a large market of watch enthusiasts who just like mechanical watches because they think they're cool, who buy decent quality watches that don't cost that much.

I got into it after reading the book Longitude. As someone who grew up sailing, who'd learned celestial navigation as a kid, I thought it'd be nifty to have that tech on my wrist. Plus I like that it's possible to understand exactly how it works. Now I have a small collection.

One of my watches, a Hamilton, cost me $700 and as long as I wear it, keeps time within a couple seconds a day, which was good enough to win the Longitude Prize in the 1700s with essentially the same tech. Lots of really expensive watches don't do any better. Hamilton is a brand that goes back to the 1800s, just like the expensive guys.

My only watch that cost over $1000 is from a guy in Denmark, a watch reviewer who decided to make his perfect watch. He hired a designer, spent a couple years blogging about the whole process, made it the best quality he could, produced 300 watches, and sold them at at a modest profit for $2700 each. I wore it in my wedding. To anyone else it's just another anonymous watch.

Lots of mechanical watch enthusiasts like quartz watches too. I have one I quite like that's solar powered. Just like a mechanical, I won't have to replace the battery in a few years.

I usually don't need to know the time to the exact second, and I generally have my phone with me anyway. But when I wear the Hamilton, for fun I usually check against time.gov every day or two to see how it's doing, and adjust to the exact time if it's off by more than a few seconds. I've seen it be exactly accurate after a week.
You’re not wrong, but depending ln the org size those charges are still cheaper than Windows Server + CALs.

Ideally though, it’d be like Okta in that its core directory is in the cloud, but also like ADDS/LDAP in that local servers/objects can join to a domain via local containers posing as domain controllers.

Yes, I know modern device management and cloud-based IdP means the need for a directory is decreasing by the day, but Enterprises still want it for ease of user and computer management via a centralized database of sorts. Having someone, anyone offer me a leaner way of achieving this without a crusty LDAP deployment or expensive Windows Server + CALs, would be hugely appreciated.
Exactly - the teams where everyone agrees are generally the least safe.. thats why everyone just nods along to every word from the boss.
How would your educated self respond to “the voices in our heads are real and the secret state is thought control, of which all sides are pawns in games none understand.”

This applies to all these other misaligned comments about corruption coming from the top rather than bottom of the “pyramid.”

Ordinary people are doing what the voices in their heads cause them to (often without awareness, though truly intelligent people know they are there, without further comprehension.) The pyramid scheme is not of ordinary bureaucrats, it is of those disembodied men who control the voices in their heads.

Mr. Kennedy knows something of these. Who will share their stories of what has been going on in their own minds?
Genuinely curious to hear more about (2.), has trust's anti-fragility been studied and/or where did this view come from?
I look more to Google for efficient and inexpensive LLM APIs, and in a similar way to Groq Cloud for inexpensive and fast inferencing for open models.

ChatGPT has a nice consumer product, and I also like it.

Google gets a bad rap on privacy, etc., but if you read the documentation and set privacy settings, etc. then I find them reasonable. (I read OpenAI’s privacy docs for a long while before experimenting with their integration of Mac terminal, VSCode, and IntelliJ products.)

We live in a cornucopia of AI tools. Occasionally I will just for the hell of it do all my research work for several days just using open models running on my Mac using Ollama - I notice a slight hit in productivity, but still a good setup.

Something for everyone!
As with everything related to Tesla FSD/Autopilot, I'll believe it when I see it. They have not earned the benefit of the doubt. Waymo works as a robotaxi today, Tesla doesn't.

I'll grant you Chinese developments; I'm not across what's happening there, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was on par, yes.

My bet is that they can reduce the cost of their working solution more reliably and safely than Tesla can get their solution working at scale.
IME when AI "hallucinates" API endpoints or library functions that just aren't there it's almost always the case that they should be. In other words the AI has based it's understanding on the combined knoweledge of hundreds(?) of other APIs and libraries and is geenrating an obvious analogy.

Turning this around: a great use case is to ask AI to review documents, APIs, etc. AI is really great for teasing out your blindspots.
You are getting replaced, man. Burying your head in the sand won’t help.
I don’t think “AI” as a market is “winner-takes-anything”. Seriously. AI is not a product, it’s a tool for building other products. The winners will be other businesses that use AI tooling to make better products. Does OpenAI really make sense as a chatbot company?
One of the reasons hedging with ODTE has become common for event based situations is because they are cheaper than those with expiration's later than the event date

I look at apartheid and how long it managed to hang on. And I can only determine it was surprisingly lucrative and competitive as well. It took a long, series of activists and a long time to finally delegitimize and finally break it.

And now, apparently, everyone involved with it had always been against it.
This is true, there are a select few that use a particular anti-cheat that doesn't work on Linux and that's unfortunately unavoidable. That said, as others have stated, several of them do work like Easy Anti-Cheat, which means I can happily play those online without getting kicked.
Then you are stuck on whatever passes the gates.

It is shitloads of work to maintain.

Getting new package from 0 to any Linux distribution is close to impossible.

Debian sucks as no one gets on top of reviewing and testing.

„Can we just” is not just there is loads of work to be done to curate packages no one is willing to pay for it.

There is so far no model that works where you can have up to date cutting edge stuff reviewed. So you are stuck with 5 year old crap because it was reviewed.
That is interesting indeed, thanks!
That's like asking a McDonald's employee if they own Burger King stock and making market assumptions on that. The best people have already left is such a common trope.
I do not know what kind of Linux UI you have seen, but the problem mentioned by you is certainly not universal.

I have never seen it, but it may exist, because there are many kinds of Linux UI that I do not use, e.g. Gnome.

That said, I have seen many Linux GUI applications that are ugly, at least by default, but many of them can be reconfigured to be beautiful enough.

I have never been content with the default appearance of any Linux distribution, but the good ones can be customized to look completely different and better than Windows, especially if you replace all default fonts with some high-quality fonts.

Musk's Latest Fraud Finding Isn't What It Seems
It’s not my judgment in question, it’s the journalist‘s target audience’s.

what a weird take to me... C has DECADES of high quality teaching material in form of books, university courses, plenty of which is freely available with a bit of searching.

And, if we discount the fact that "buying" a book is such a big hurdle, even more high quality academic text books and papers to boost; anything from embedded on the weirdest platforms, basic parsing, writing compilers, language design, high performance computing, teaching of algorithms, data structures, distributed systems, whatever!

edit: I even forgot to name operating system design plus game programming ; and of course accompanying libraries, compilers & build systems to cover all of those areas and use cases! edit2: networking, signal processing, automotive, learning about industry protocols and devices of any sort... if you explore computer science using C as your main language you are in the biggest candy store in the world with regards to what it is you want to learn about or do or implement...

Until something makes a profit it's a charity or predatory monopoly-in-waiting.
