Too bad it's going away.

I wonder if the issues around owning of training data may allow larger, well funded companies to acquire ownership (for example, buying stack overflow content). This might allow larger players to starve smaller players.

New York didn't get that memo: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/nyc-distribute-apple-airtags...

Weird. I have Kaiser. Routine things, like eye exams, can be months out, but a significant, non-emergency, health issue? I'd expect to be next day, usually.

I have to admit: I have a few phrases like this, that I'd like to do this to! :-)

I have (had?) that one somewhere!

Asked it to summarize Elastic.co vs Amazon.

Answer was on topic, and completely wrong.

Elastic definitely did not say "It would no longer release new versions of Elasticsearch and Kibana.", and OpenSearch was a result of the conflict, not the cause of it. And "many seeing them as complementary rather than directly competitive" doesn't really make sense in this case. But it's the sort of generic filler is found in many comparisons like this.

The response:

"Here is a summary of the conflict between Elastic and Amazon:

Elastic, the company behind the popular Elasticsearch and Kibana open source software, announced changes to its licensing strategy in January 2021. It would no longer release new versions of Elasticsearch and Kibana. This upset many customers who relied on those tools for their services hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

AWS offered its own managed service called OpenSearch as an alternative, essentially forked from Elasticsearch. This angered Elastic, who saw it as AWS unfairly taking their open source software and rebranding it. Elastic argued AWS should not be allowed to make money from Elastic's open source innovations.

AWS countered that OpenSearch provided valuable managed services and enterprise features on top of the open source Elasticsearch. Customers benefited from having choices and alternatives.

The conflict highlighted philosophical differences over open source business models and the relationship between software creators and the companies that host their tools. There were also accusations of anti-competitive behavior on both sides.

However, the drama did not significantly disrupt users of either platform. Both Elasticsearch/Kibana and OpenSearch continue to operate, with many seeing them as complementary rather than directly competitive. But tensions likely remain between the companies.

That's a high-level summary of the key events and issues in the conflict between Elastic and Amazon over open source software and managed services. Please let me know if you need anything else."

I've always enjoyed using comics when getting started with a language, Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield, etc. Short, limited vocabulary, visual cues, and I'm frequently familiar with the original.

An interesting question might be: "Do any other species wear clothing?"

Hermit crabs and octopi come to mind. Do any other species make anything to wear?

Taylor birds sew their nests, but not something to wear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQMYpzbQIDA&t=53s

And what's the relative power consumption? :-)

Google recovery is a disaster. I lost an account that had a recovery email. I got locked out of the account, and it said the recovery email wasn't enough! WTF!? That's exactly what it is for.

So, you can lose your google account, even with recovery set up.

Just make it easy to filter out. Possibly make it the default to filter out.

Skilled trades pay well, and are harder to automate than jobs that can be done remotely.

Plumbing for example, requires both knowledge, and hands on work. Plumbers won't be replaced until both AI and Robotics advance cosiderably.

I don't see a date. Anyone know? I still have this service. Like the other commenters, I have it to get access to content I can't otherwise get. Netflix streaming is, honestly, not full of very interesting titles. The DVD catalog is much more interesting.

The Selectric was the peak of keyboard technology. But it was extremely expensive compared to what you pay for a keyboard today.

Not only can they develop, they apparently can be induced by things like tick bites! You can develop an allergy to meat after being bitten by a tick.

A hypothesis is part of science. You have to have an idea to have something to test!

There absolutely are therapeutic sleeping positions. Sleep on your side.

How are the CO2 levels in your room? Do you sleep with a window open?

I believe clickbait titles are frowned on in Hacker News. Please edit title to something that speaks to your subject matter.

What does Slevomat do differently, to generate repeat customers?

JetBrains was founded in Prague. I suspect most people on hacker news are familiar with them.

Can't buy incandescents in California anymore. Try on Amazon, it won't sell to you.

That reminds me of the very old arguments that people can't program computers to play chess better than they themselves did. Obviously false, as is this. There is no reason we can't build something that is smarter than we are.

> “This idea of surpassing human ability is silly because it’s made of human abilities.”

It's not made OF human abilities, it's made BY human abilities - a completely different thing.

And, of course, Boston Dynamics will be delivering the "better runner" very soon.

> If it makes less authors turn out the junk that fills much of the shelves I have to peruse at the moment then all the better, but I don't think I will be seeing books on shelves predominantly by AI authors.

That sounds a lot like so many of the "this technology will never replace X", like, for example, digital cameras.

The technology frequently does.

This is similar to the older discussion about using Photoshop in photography competitions. I think that eventually moved to "everyone photoshops somewhat", which is likely where the AI tools for writing will go.

I mean, how many people use Grammarly? Doesn't that suggest changes to test based on (somewhat) ai?

That's because it has the beep character, which is non-visible, on lines 3 through 7

The beep character is control-g, ASCII 0x07

There is considerable controversy about using artists works as training data for creating an AI that competes with artists.
