More than the code, I'd be very interested in having the dataset be made public.

I think it's an apt analogy, though I disagree about the implication. If I use ChatGPT to create a work, and that work is "close enough" to an existing copyrighted work, then it seems like I am guilty of copyright violation,

I'm a bit dubious about all these complaints. My snarky side wants to respond to > By OpenAI's logic, any work you put online is fair game to be swiped and incorporated into the company's large language models. With > A

What I hate here more than anything else is the bait-and-switch and bundling tactics. If Amazon had just had video-on-demand where you would pay for video and be able to watch it, that would have been fine. But they bundled it together with

I think the fact is that the similarity is "close enough", and for reasons unrelated to medical science, there are A LOT of pigs.

I think that's an interesting question. Long term I feel that there is an arbitrage between Bitcoin prices / block reward and energy prices. You may be right about big swings as demand for money fluctuates, but we need functioning

Bitcoin futures on CME are not really accessible to retail investors, and the market there has always suffered from tepid liquidity as a result.

Exactly! Price discovery in Bitcoin has always been a nightmare, but now there's at least a chance of getting some serious information into the market.

Clichéd, I know, but this is good for Bitcoin. For the first time, people have the ability to express short interest in Bitcoin. Sure, there are sketchy credit markets inside of the various cryptocurrency exchanges, but soooo sketchy. The b

I often use the Fibonacci numbers mod 10 when I need to do this in my head. It isn't great -- odd numbers are twice as frequent (because mod 2 they're [1,1,0]) and you get sequences like [7,0,7,7], but easy to keep track of and th

Holy unintended side effects, Batman! I have to say that I did not see this coming when I heard about right-to-repair legislation. It seems like there is one workaround for a reseller; I can just buy Bosch washing machines new, and disassem

There is no statute of limitations, generally, but Canada does recognize the right to a speedy trial. The Charter of Rights And Freedoms [1] 11b says "Any person charged with an offence has the right ... to be tried within a reasonable

I think the idea is that the scammer gets a legitimate payment from the receiver, and charges a bad payment to the sender. The sender cancels their card, and reverses the charge, so now Walmart is out the money and out the item. But the rec

Or better, just do a `(read -s asdf; echo -n $asdf | shasum)` to create a temporary subshell and never even expose your password in the shell output.

I mean, this is seriously moving the goalpost, but let's play along. I tear off the Scooby-Doo mask, and the person is now exposed as being a different person. You hunt me down (somehow? magically? nothing in PK infrastructure allows t

Yes! That's exactly it. I've seen that metaphor before and forgot where I saw it until I searched around for what ended up being a previous comment of yours [1]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37463187

I can't read the original article, but presumably it treads the same ground as similar articles [1], which in turn generally reference [2]. Past articles talking about screening include [3]. Generally supports the view that early scree

Refinement and definition of diagnostic criteria change over time. A major change in the diagnostic criteria will result in a change in the profile of the diagnoses made against a population. No malign intent nor conspiracy is required; we

It greatly expands the diagnostic criteria associated with "self-harm" and will increase monitoring and diagnosis of these phenomena. Note that the suicide rate does not show this inflection, either in the US or internationally. A

The instinct is to treat this as an apocalyptic change of some sort in society. Here's an alternate framing. The DSM-5 was released in 2013.

Violent agreement here, I think -- I also feel that the criteria are being applied arbitrarily and capriciously and we accept many things as ETF members that have far less liquid spot markets than Bitcoin. But incidents like this don't

$2k is ~5%; that's enough in a short enough time to trigger equity market circuit breakers and temporarily pause trading. Bitcoin has no such controls because there is no NMS regulation applied here, which is one of the SEC's fear

Holding equities through a brokerage and using their interfaces are a well-understood problem. Managing a bitcoin wallet requires a bit more effort (though hopefully not too much more). Even worse is managing KYC & identity verification

Each ETF needs to be approved by the SEC. You are welcome to submit an application for your restaurant reservations. Historically the SEC has refused these grants for Bitcoin ETFs on the basis that the underlying asset does not have well-es
