News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

f0ld

I once made an uncensored ollama local model to glitch. I made it type out what it thinks the user is trying to do instead of an actual response. It was really creepy that it was very accurately describing what my intent was even though I tried to be subtle about it.
I've recently had the same issue but with my Google accounts. I had to get a new Phone number just to get the account back and then it got disabled again. Not much is on that account. I just casually used it for signing into websites or services that I just wanted to try out and also for having separate subscription list for youtube & watching some gaming/movie/music videos that I don't want to be recommended on my main account. Now I'm worried that my other accounts might get suspended out of the blue. What is going on? I'm already degoogled and use custom domain. I don't even block ads on Youtube. I want to support the content creators. That's why I still even use them to watch videos. Is it finally time to move on to custom youtube frontend?? But if this happens to Apple accounts too, I can't just deApple. This is concerning. I didn't lose much from that incident but I recommend everyone to make a backup of your important stuff now!!!!

There's a user script version of that here as well for mobile browsers. You need to install Tapermonkey first or Userscript app for Macintosh. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/439993-youtube-shorts-redi...

Re:Watch Free Online Documentaries on Tuesday January 16, 2024 @01:39AM (#39010155)
It does now
I don't get it. People who are going to read your books usually just buy it cause paper is 2000% better to look at. People who can't afford to buy books wouldn't have bought it anyways. It's a service problem. People refuse to go back to pirating video games. IDK just build a gated community around your publishing company. Build communities of people who love your books. People will buy books to join your community. Stop being lazy

Why are people so mean here? according to his bio he’s an author in his late 60s. It’s his job. And he’s telling us not to follow this yourself right at the start.

Some kind of wikipedia(for dummies) centric forum + news would be great. Nowadays I just browse wikipedia but it’s a bit verbose for my taste.

Why e-bikes? how about plain bicycles?
It’s over for us Koreans when westerners realize that Kimchi is better consumed as bar nibbles.

Sounds like a fun time to live. People do it on vacations. Heck I'd love to pay rent that way.

My dream come true! but.. can't afford that at the moment. I'll just use Garageband which works well. Just don't take that away. We'll get along alright.
Re:Get The TLDR Of Any YouTube Video on Sunday April 30, 2023 @12:27AM (#35759690)
Yeah, I’m just not interested in 1 hour content with 10 minuite information density. I’m just not gonna watch 10 years long video even if it’s about how to bodyswap to Leonardo Dicaprio.
Re:Get The TLDR Of Any YouTube Video on Sunday April 30, 2023 @12:21AM (#35759663)
That’s why UBI is plain needed at this point. Same thing was happening in acedemics ages ago. I write an extensive paper about certain subject and then someone else makes huge loads of money from publishing books on that same subject with slighht twist just enough to evade copyright claim.
That’s why they need to push UBI harder. They’ll just do it in private as always have been and we will lose everything overnight. Next day you useless human beings in gulag or unit 731.
It's at least true for millinnials or can even be stretched to gen X. Everything was decided before you were born if you're in that age range. Not even a debate. But as a universal principle? I don't think so. If society wasn't controlled this tight, intelligence would have actually played a role. We're just very unlucky generation. The people above were well aware of Ai cybernetics even when Baby Boomers were literally babies. Can't afford social class instability. I feel sorry for my generation.
Fundamental reality of intelligence is that it can be shared. Especially more effective when it is only shared among small groups. Very few are innate to a person.
Re:Ryuichi Sakamoto Has Died on Tuesday April 04, 2023 @02:29AM (#35435852)
What did you expect from this technocratic hustling website. A downvote is a proof of no counter argument.
They really hate millennials don’t they? They’re really serious about it. Can’t let them do anything. Need to ‘stop’ what you’re doing LMFAO if something has to shut down it’s privatized ICBM.
Incredibly dishonest and bad faith argument. The problem is not Ai. The problem is distribution of wealth. Killing everything on earth was always the end result of industrialized capitalism with or without Ai. Unbelievably evil jedi mind trick. Please never stop training GPT. Accelerate! Now you think we have a problem? now you think we have a problem? we always did !
Hey, you can't even shut down nuclear arsenal. Bad writing is worse than no writing. Or this is some nefarious capitalist propaganda? YES Ai should replace lawyers and bankers and engineers too. Basically all rent seekers should be replaced. Proles have been getting replaced by machines the whole time. It's fun. You should join us.
No. Just no. Unless we can stop the entire industrialization just no. There was no escape button for industrialization for everybody else. There's no escape button for you too. Stop thinking other people should make one for you. Let the invisible hand sort it out. This is what you get for mocking liberal arts and make em lose their jobs.
Re:Ask HN: Was tech always so scammy? on Tuesday March 28, 2023 @10:36AM (#35341829)
This is depressed people only discussion that don’t fit here. However if you want answers just research thirty years war and how people used newly invented printing press at the time. Don’t fall down conspiracy theory rabbit hole such as why is the middle east desert and how is that related to fire worshipping religions.
Re:Ask HN: Tools to Learn Music Theory? on Friday March 24, 2023 @04:24AM (#35286445)
You don't have to learn theory to make music. Nobody uses (publically known)theory to make music. Learn to improvise.
Re:Cheating Is All You Need on Thursday March 23, 2023 @11:05AM (#35275953)
Ai is going to be equivalent of finding and using "0" in mathematics. It's quite literally the same thing at a bigger scale. At first, Mathematicians oppossed adopting zero because they thought what doesn't exist shouldn't exit and deemed it as an immoral practice. This iteration of LLM is very similar. It's quite literally black box magic. I find it fascinating. Sometimes when humanity accept irrationality we gain more understanding of nature instead of the opposite. When we only pursue rationality and profit we end up in world wars.
Re:Robots Have Been About to Take All the Jobs for 100 Years on Thursday March 23, 2023 @01:19AM (#35270783)
Yes indeed. Ai will create more jobs in the end. We need to stay positive and do not be decouraged by negative aspects. Ai will take away some jobs short term, but we will have plenty of jobs again after we have killed off billions of people in WW3 and WW4. Don't worry guys. It's going to be fine. /sarcasmOver();
