Lots of social unrest on every online platform, for example what happened in the days prior to 15M (which thankfully didn't end up in riots, but riots would have been another logical outcome).

As someone from Spain: those posters weren't made by a (native) Spaniard. They contain several weird sentences absolutely nobody uses.

My bet: foreign meddling.

I understand that managing hw can be time consuming, but if you built a similar machine it would get paid off in ~18 months.

The company running it should be you. The future of AI is open and local.

Sure. But unless they are born into a very wealthy family, or decide to pass up on having a family and other hobbies, they won't be able to satisfy that curiosity beyond a very basic level.

Absolutely. But without post docs, it won't be long before we are unable to understand what the LLMs are suggesting.

>But man is it remarkable that an open source project can rival something from Google in terms of quality and experience.

I'd argue Google is always way worse than the open source alternative in both quality and ux. Their products are terrible. From Gmail to Youtube, the product itself comes second (or Nth), while in open source the product is always first.

Call me old fashioned, but a site with a few paragraphs of text requiring JS seems absolutely stupid to me.

And just to add some more context, the Second Section (Sección Segunda), which is part of the executive branch, was created because time after time judges concluded that downloading movies from the internet was perfectly legal[1]. So the PSOE's gov at the time (with Zapatero being president) created a law that just sidesteps judges altogether, and bans access from the executive branch.

Go to TL, hit the big button in the center that says "sign up promo".

> It's probably easier to lurk in r/trackerinvites (or whatever it's called) hoping to snatch an invite

I think it's much easier to pay 12 bucks for a month of seedbox that includes an invite to TL, than to hit F5 on /r/OpenSignups for months/years until they open registration.

It's as easy as buying 1 month of seedbox for around 10 bucks.

This obviously isn't for everyone, but the solution I use is: my own DNS server at home + wg to access it when I'm away.

> Isn't 1337x and others better and offer a complete alternative?

The best way is always private trackers. They're easy to get into, easy to keep (if you're a serious and honest person), malware free, high quality content, great community, etc.

Laws are great and all. But what we really need is a massive boycott. Stop buying shit manufactured or sold by Sony for a year. That alone will probably force them to backtrack every single anti consumer decision they've made recently.

The comment thread was about AI, not LLM.

>It's having a general understanding/view of the "baseline", aka healthy anatomy. This is something LLMs will never have

You're making the mistake of conflating AI with LLMs.

I don't think LLMs will reliably be better than a board of doctors. But an Expert System probably will (if it isn't already). That's literally what they were created for.

The biggest downside of LLMs IMO isn't the millions of Jules wasted on training models that are ultimately used to create funny images of cats with lasers. It's that all that money isn't being invested into truly helpful AI systems that will actually improve and save our lives, such as medical expert systems.

I've been using openbox for decades now. It doesn't get in the way, and I don't need more.

If something has several clear positive effects, and a possible small, arguably irrelevant, negative effect, most people will agree that yes, it's good for you.

It's like trying to argue that running may have a negative effect on some people's meniscus under some specific circumstances. That doesn't negate the generalization "running is good for you".

One of my pet peeves with git (and systems both similar, and based on it) is that automated tests run after you've made the commit and push.

In my mind the commit (let alone the push to a publicly accesible server) should be done after, and only if, the automated tests are successfully executed. And there's no easy way to implement this, other than having a dirty branch that you discard after rebasing onto a more long lived one.

I've been listening to Space Station to flow for more than 20 years.

Sourdough doesn't need to be complicated.

You get the starter by leaving flour and water at room temperature for several days. Once the starter is ready, it's just more flour and water, plus additional ingredients (salt, seeds, olive oil, etc) sitting for several hours until it's ready to go in the oven.

I've followed sourdough recipes that were extremely complicated, which required me doing task every few hours for 3 days (so no way to do it if you have a regular job). But at the most basic level sourdough is just a fermented mixture of flour and water that is then cooked.

> and left all their code available, as required by OSS.

IANAL, and I don't have a horse in this race, but I don't think that's required by OSS, not by the spirit of "the law", and (at least) not by GPL, MIT, and other similar mainstream licenses.

The spirit of open source is: you buy (or just download for free) a binary, you get the 4 rights. Whatever happens when the developer/company stops distributing (whether at a cost or free as in beer) that binary is completely outside the scope of the license.

>Then they added friend lists, status updates, like counts, popularity rankings.

That sounds absolutely horrible.

I used to love HN. Lots of interesting stuff, great articles, novel projects. Now it feels like the frontpage is always around 70% LLM-related stuff. And not breakthrough research or projects, just "new Claude version X" and shit like that. Eternal September I guess?

>They banned the_donald (which, yes, was spammy, but it seemed to be organic

I used to frequent /r/t_d when it was created, before the Republican primaries for the 2016 election. I visited every day because I was absolutely astonished at the gigantic marketing effort behind it. I had never seen anything like that before, and haven't since. It probably had a team of dozens or hundreds of Russians behind it, creating memes and shitposting on a payroll. And it obviously was 100% inorganic.

Muchrooms have mycotoxins too. And red meat is a carcinogen. And predator fish have plenty of heavy metals. And the list goes on and on. Yet we eat all those things. Hence the "net positive".

Most people who fast report that same "clearheadedness".

> you should not eat it all day

How sure are we about this? How certain are we that those specific species of mold have a net negative effect, rather than a net positive (like for example mushrooms)? Penicillium grows on stale foods and I doubt eating it would have a net negative effect.

Europe's first mistake was abandoning nuclear energy, and their second mistake was not going all in on renewables.
