According to this no one has ever been prosecuted just for sending false DMCA takedown notices:

They do mention a case where the defendant acted in bad faith and was found liable for damages though.

Never underestimate the power of hype.

I agree and I think it's good that you pointed that out. Unfortunately the quality of nature.com articles is often quite bad.

You are probably thinking of Nature Communications. This article was posted on their more pop-science publishing site.

You aren't the first one mislead by the Nature brand btw - if you look into past submissions you will find similar comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=nature.com

Software engineering culture is still in a very primitive phase: just take a look at the comments of the category theory submission currently in the front-page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42291141

Try suggesting to use a tool like TLA+ to validate some complex design and the most likely scenario is that people will laugh at you, even if it's a critical component for the business.

Most decisions in the industry are based on weak anecdotes and unfounded opinions of underserved "authorities".

A product from a company is not a person. An LLM is not a brain.

If you transcode a CD to mp3 and build a business around selling these files without the author's permission you'd be in big legal problems.

Tech products that "accidentally" reproduce materials without the owners' permission (e.g. someone uploading La La Land into YouTube) have processes to remove them by simply filling a form. Can you do that with ChatGPT?

> It's hard to see how they can argue with a straight face that it is accidental

It's another instance of "move fast, break things" (i.e. "keep your eyes shut while breaking the law at scale")

I had a similar situation with Santander many years ago: it was a small amount and happened when I was closing my account, bank manager couldn't explain it and escalating the problem was a pain - especially because I was about to move to another country and had more urgent things to do.

I wonder how common issues like these are...

A chat conversation where every single move is written down and accessible at any time is not the same as blindfold chess.

In retrospective this wasn't a good idea:

Thank you, this looks very useful; I've tried it a few hours ago and it was not returning results (or it was taking a very long time to load) but will try again next week. Good luck with your launch.

> respond with true or false: is 1234uA submilliampere?

> True. 1234 microamperes (uA) is equal to 1.234 milliamperes (mA), which is sub-milliampere.

No, just straight chatgpt and claude but I will take a look, thanks

Yeah, I see what you mean, like if I want to find for instance "a sub milliampere X" but in the pdf it only says uA then it would be impossible for an LLM to suggest that

It's been like this since the late 90s, "retro" basically means microcomputers

I do have an hypothesis: If GPT-4 was trained with a substantial amount of internet conversations it could be because it's very uncommon for people to respond to questions on forums with "No sorry I don't know", instead the question/thread would just die without answers.

Maybe people are not aware of it? My previous two submissions regarding this initiative were quickly flagged, while this submission (which only mentions the initiative) was demoted.

I agree with your comment to certain degree, specially in a commercial enterprise environment, but programming is still very time consuming and if a new invention made us faster it would be something noticeable, no?

> There is neocites, and a small community of people who share this philosophy about the web (and that are relatively young), but I have not met anyone my age, in the real world, that would choose to do something like this.

When I was a teen at least half of my classmates had some kind of personal website (trends changed very fast back then but for my generation it all started with geocities). The idea of making something unique and sharing it online was very fun. It felt like you had a lot of freedom to do almost anything you wanted. There were no expectations, no standards to follow, nor "successful" people to imitate.

Probably my nostalgia is distorting my perception here but to me modern internet looks extremely homogeneous: everything seems to come from the same cookie-cutter, and the only degree of freedom you have is to either follow the formula for ranking higher or sink into the algorithmic oblivion.

Ah so the import declaration required to publish in the French App Store is for Apple? Thanks for clarifying

First time I hear about this as well and I'm not sure if I understand this correctly (because it's in French :p) but it sounds like if your software uses cryptography and you have French users then you need to submit a declaration to some French authority:

Sounds like XSS for LLM chatbots: It's one of those things that maybe doesn't seem impressive (at least technically) but they are pretty effective in the real world

I really like The Amp Hour by Dave Jones (EEVblog) and Chris Gammell, if you are into electronics I think it's a brilliant podcast:

I wish Meta stopped using the "open source" misnomer for free of charge weights. In the US the FTC already uses the term Open-Weights, and it seems the industry is also adopting this term (e.g. Mistral).

Someone can correct me here but AFAIK we don't even know which datasets are used to train these models, so why should we even use "open" to describe Llama? This is more similar to a freeware than an open-source project.

The proposal leaked a few weeks ago[1] is extremely vague on this matter and does not clarify how providers should detect CSAM "prior to transmission". Is anyone aware of any sort of scanning technology that can be implemented purely on the client side? Note that the leaked text says that it should be able to detect known and new abuse material.

It wont be perfect and it will fail in stupid ways, by design.
