Direct Install, or better yet, Owner Controlled Install.

Lets call it what it is.

Can HN have a tag for open-weight vs closed-source models please? The progress is nice, but if it is not released at least in papers or open-weight? These are just ads?

It is helpful not to make unbecoming remarks. I know it is hard times for a lot of people in tech but it is important to remain mindful and separate your disagreement with the message from the messenger.

Despite your very poor remark in a sibling comment, I will respond with benefit of the doubt that you're just unhappy with the message and don't intend to be a prick.

You ask how are the numbers derived? Well, the numbers are not derived. My point is that an equilibrium exists where business is happy to pay y/x for 99.99 instead of y for 99.999; what is the actual value of x depends on specific enterprise and markets. What we know is that such x is no longer long term, let alone a theoretical proposition, but something approachable in the short term.

So to answer your question. The numbers are not derived.

It is a fair criticism from a purely objective and "means to an end" point of view of Software Engineering, but for a lot of people it is also a passion.

Personally, based on over a decade of professional software engineering experience at all sort of organisations, from small startups, Government, big tech, financial services of all scale.

In terms of literature, you can look into "enshiftication" as a starting point into research around cost savings and value extraction in business.

Also, about 7 years ago, I had some ideas about how AI will pan out, and here is the releveant excerpt from it:

> [S]oftware development industry, the very workhorse of automation and tools of efficiency is eating itself away. The outward image may look very different with the software development becoming an integral part of more and more industries, yet, the number of developers required for a project of given complexity is reducing at unimaginable rate.

Exactly. And you can already see the direction things are going with most Web and React Native UI libraries converging on tailwind, since it is extremely genai friendly.

This list is entirely incomplete without mentioning Java Card.

There is a tiny Java Bytecode VM in an insanely large list of places, you can find some of them here:

What does "desktop class browser" means in practical terms? What is it in the mobile version of Safari that holds you back?

The idea is that you change leadership with those who have genuine alignment with subjects' preference for certain policies or ideas, it is not about electing kings who may demand "machines must agree that the Emperor is not naked".

The problem with local vs remote isn't so much about paid. It is about compliance and privacy.

Your subtle idea that the comprehension and understanding is the shortcoming of political apparatus is overlooks the million issues as basic healthcare not being addressed. The problem is not understanding, I can assure you of that.

As someone who uses AI everyday. People who wish to restrict the use of their code by AI should be allowed to do so, but they should make sure their LICENSE is aligned with that. That is the only issue I see.

The mass production discount must not be overlooked, whatever most people want becomes the most cost effective, and it appears that most people want cheap, and so anything beyond the absolute minimum costs a lot more relative to the quality.

I am always fascinated by this degree of assurance and absolute lack of scepticism.

In what way, do you think, a show can have no room for critical viewing? Does being related to "reading or books" sufficient for such unquestionable and noncritical acceptance? Or was something else about it that makes it so cocksure good?

Query parameters are hardly voluntary, just about every linked acquired via "share" button on various platform includes tracking query parameters, including google search results. Combined with the fact that query parameters are has legitimate uses, the distinction complexity becomes indistinguishable from "legitimate WebGL usage" vs "WebGL fingerprint".

It is scary where we are, but you can't solve it by dismissing it as FUD.

The new generation is far more anti war than the 90s hippies. The social media might have set society back on some fronts, but on some fronts, like cross-border understanding and humanisation, it has been a blessing.

At least for Linux distros and the likes of Brew, you will need to have Go to have Siso, and so on.

I was going to say operate it under a non-profit but then I laughed in Altman.

This is really bad news for Linux on Desktop.

Many developers I know don't use MacOS mainly because they depend on containers and virtualisation is slow, but if Apple can pull off efficient virtualisation and good system integration (port mapping, volumes), then it will eat away at a large share of linux systems.

> The problem is that models are shipping that inherently make it easy to reproduce copyrighted works, and apply specific styles lifted from single author's copyrighted bodies of work. > I am very strongly against this. > Note that prohibiting copying of a recognizable specific single author's style is even more strict than fair use limits on humans. Stricter makes sense to me, because unlike humans, models are mass producers.

This sounds like gate-keeping rather than genuine copyright concerns.

> Models that make it trivial to create new art deco works, consistent with the total body of art deco works, ok. Models that make it trivial to recreate Erte works, or with an accurately Erte style specifically. Not ok.

Yeah, again, sounds like gate-keeping more than an economic and incentives argument which are, in my opinion, the only legitimate concerns underpinning copyright's moral ground.

Every step of progress has made doing things easier and easier to the point that now arguing with some strange across the world seems trivial, almost natural. Surely there are some arguments to curtail this dangerous machinery that undermines the control of information flow and corrupts the minds of the naive! we must shut it down!

Jokes aside, "making things easier/trivial" is the name of the game of progress. You can't stop progress. Everything will be easier and easier as the time goes on.

It seems like your concerns is about how easy it is going to be to create derivative and similar work, rather than a genuine concerns for copyright. Do I understand correctly?

> There are very few laws that are not giant ambiguities. Where is the line between murder, self-defense and accident? There are no lines in reality.

These things are very well and precisely defined in just about every jurisdiction. The "ambiguities" arise from ascertaining facts of the matter, and whatever some facts fits within a specific set of set rules.

> Something must change regarding copyright and AI model training.

Yes, but this problem is not specific to AI, it is the question of what constitutes a derivative, and that is a rather subjective matter in the light of the good ol' axiom of "nothing is new under the sun".

"A single text" is an absurd reductionism.

People suffer worst than death over words all the time, even in the West. Some folks adhere to honour, some to political groups and ideologies, some religion, some to their social views; there are words that are treated as violence and responded to accordingly in every context.

It might seem like an overreaction from a western point of view, but the accusations in the context of Central Asian culture is something so extremely sensitive that people from all walks of life, from nobility to the poor kill and die over it. It is just a different frame of mind.

Yes, Microsoft has a rather large portion of corporate and business email, a very large portion of it.

No, because KYC is about the customer, not product. In the same way that you're not required to sell only trackable microcontrollers for example, only that you can show who you sold them to, not where they went onwards.

The Cookie law works great. Every time you click "Essentials only" you're denying to be tracked.

In theory it is by possible by "blind attestations" by a 3rd party, in an indirect way, that is what you get by Cloudflare, where they monitor traffic from an "agent" using their own heuristics for identity, without sharing that identity with you.

Penitentiary? Maybe it is as a your-state thing?

Never heard of it down here in NSW, and I worked with Police, Justice Department, Juvi, and the rest of police to prison pipeline.
