Probably the movement to squat in empty buildings and organize more of the same in response to pandemic evictions, that's been getting the kind of attention its very dangerous for left wing groups to get.

This is a hard thing to get across to people coming at it from a perspecitve of being higher up on some imaginary natural hierarchy. Also, real organized crime immediately flips on you when people notice their loud obvious daylight crimes a

So, have a domestic armed force checking people for rental papers and imprisoning them if they don't check out. That's considered an "easy fix" now?

Yeah, if we can't get something like edn (json but well designed and extensible) then jsonl is at least OK. > people tend to forget this There are people with strong opinions about this that don't even understand why you need s

Uh ... what about when I don't want to load the entire stream into memory before the next stage starts running? Are these implicit json arrays that stream out? Or do we now have incompatible json shell tools and streaming text tools as

Sure, it would take an enormous amount of energy to do it though. Oh yeah, and you'd also be annihilated as you were completely turned to energy as you tried to go through it of course. But you'd sure fire a hell of a lot of rando

Also, it's trivially easy to teach a real neural network to output a specific binary stream in response to a specific input. My OS AI could use the exact same technology as Copilot, I'd just train it very specifically.
38.
by freshhawk 5y ago
Yeah ... that was my point. What copilot does underneath the indirection is steal GPL code and derive "new" stuff from it in a way that launders the licenses. We know what it's doing, it's doing very well understood stat

"Or maybe it is, but if so it essentially means the end of licensing because it would be trivial to make an AI that can take an input and produce the same output." Yes, this is what is pretty interesting to me. I said in a previou

So these new /r/wallstreetbets and related manaics are obviously going to burn piles of money going to war with the IPO. Do you think the size of those piles of money is priced in? The size of the fear of the size of those piles o

So a smaller pool of people than those people + people on robinhood. So nice convenient price pressure is applied. Which I think is the OPs point.

Yeah, those are very big fines but there has been so much attention on this that we all know that 70 million is a small dent in the profits from the play that caused all this.

Yes. It includes many members of the top-tier scientific community. For many of them, the reason we get the benefits of these top-tier people is because of sci-hub.

Nah, that's well within the normal range. This is the Federal Bureau of oops-that-terrorist-actually-was-an-informant-of-ours after all. It really does seem like you all aren't aware of the (deserved) reputation of the FBI outside

The Stundin article they are quoting has the source, it's Ögmundur Jónasson, who was Iceland's minister of interior at the time. Also ... maybe there is a problem with censored news in the US. Because outside the US mainstream med

A key witness in the current extradition case is my understanding. The claim about Assange guiding Manning that Thordarson is testifying too is definitely a major piece of most of the related court cases.

And it's up to the end user to evaluate the tool that makes the suggestions.

by freshhawk 5y ago
That would actually be potentially useful, it could do a kind of combination of autocompletion of internal libraries, automatic templates for common patterns and internal style/linting type tasks all in one. Certainly augmenting those

"* in functioning democracies" Who cares about this theoretical BS though? It's useless. The model isn't predictive. Those are spherical cows. At this point we know the areas where public support is most detached from po

Yeah, you'd have to assume they are parsing and normalizing this data in some way. There would still be some AST patterns or something similar you could look for in the same way, but it would be much trickier. Plus considering this is

I suppose someone should make a OS-generating AI, conceptually it can just have windows, osx and some linux distros in it and output one based on a question about favorite color or something. You'd just have to wrap it in a nice comple

Because framing collective action problems caused by a very small powerful minority of people as mass moral issues is how we all fucking die. In fact, you have a moral imperative to stop doing this, since you are covering for the actual act

by freshhawk 5y ago
"A single action by the government" Yeah, this is generally called "collective action" when it is contrasted with "individual action".
54.
by freshhawk 5y ago
I know you didn't mean to, but amazing job getting HN to embarass itself.
55.
by freshhawk 5y ago
I thought we were past the fairy tales about individual action doing anything useful?
56.
by freshhawk 5y ago
I agree. For me, when I'm working with something where I can get functionality like Differential Datalog [1] is when I move over to a reactive-ish paradigm. It's half the answer, and there is a lot of state-related stuff in the ot

"Code is law" except for the DAO fork of course, when commit rights were law.

Aren't SPACs just nonoperating shell companies that own only cash? I thought the whole point of them was to be allowed to disclose nothing and report nothing.

Uh ... is it news to people that american nationalism is a very religious belief system? It isn't to outsiders, I definitely heard this comparison made when I was in school ... which was the 90's. This also feels more like america

Yes, a stable currency also helps people to intelligently buy unstable assets. This is a point for the other team, not yours.
