Yesterday got email from Claude that they are offering 50% off for one month if I renew my subscription. I bought it today and now this. I wonder if they sent that email to too many people.

> Do you really believe Aaron would be arguing against AI companies and for publishing / recording guilds on the grounds of intellectual property claims?

That's not the point. All the rules and laws are enforced when its you and me but when it's big tech the laws are treated by these companies as mere instructions.

> friendship ended with free access to information and technologies enabling people; now RIAA is my best friend

Big tech will enable access to free information and will help people reach new heights. Do you see how wrong that sounds?

It's just sad that this is the top comment on Hacker News. Why are we giving free pass to these tech companies? Why are we trusting these CEOs when they have repeatedly broken laws? Remember Aaron Swartz and the fate he suffered? Why is big tech getting away with so much more?

For that specific query, just use US open weight model, oh...wait

It's kind of ironic that US built the infrastructure(adtech, social media) to track people around the world on the Internet and now their own people are getting tracked in real life.

Somebody needs to figure out how to move millions of people from one platform to other. Otherwise we will never get better platforms and our current techlords will keep getting richer.

Sometimes I wonder if people will one day wake up and just ditch all the tech. That's seems to be the only way to be out of this mess.

> I thought they would just check if the file hash exists on their end

That would invalidate the hash on minor changes. Too much effort and not enough return.

Google will stop paying them if they tried that.

We ruined software development let's move on to hardware

It won't happen to me is what I used to think

Same let us know people

I wish his perkeep project was mature and stable.

At this point just ditch Twitter.

I understand this is not enough but I don't see a story here that paints AI negatively. If one is posted it gets removed swiftly. And I have seen this happen enough times that I'm considering taking periodic snapshots of the front page and prove this definitively.

Offtopic. I have a concern that this forum is removing stories that have negative connotation on AI.

Few days back, I posted an article[1] that was about how AI threatens natural resources for billions. This was from United Nations and it was flagged. I did not think much about it until I saw two other stories [2] & [3] today that were doing fairly good on front page but they suddenly disappeared. They are not even on 2nd or 3rd page. I have seen this happening at other times as well but did not document it. Just thought you all should know about this.

I was going to create Tell HN thread but I thought the same would happen with it too. I am pretty sure this thread is not going anywhere so I'm posting my concern here.

I was surprised to see IBM on that list

I remeber using this when it was Java applet. Now he has converted everything to JavaScript for everyone to use. What a legend!

Maybe they know something we don't. What if all frontier lab do this? Maybe this is actual cost of running these llm.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it

I'm seeing this guy everywhere. He was on Bloomberg a day ago and then on another channel and now here. I'm curious why there are not more people like him voicing their concerns. Makes you wonder if he is completely wrong.

If we design a probe that travels at speed of light it would reach there in 48 years and it would send back what it's seen after another 48 years. It would take multiple generations of scientists to work on this project. The longest we have worked on, are Voyager projects. Can we expect that level of commitments from our governments or corporations? Voyager became successful because people could see distant futures. We can barely plan few years ahead.

Yes this is the one.

Whenever this topic comes up I am reminded of the black and white picture of all the scientist of 19th century together. Each individual in that photo had contributed something to human knowledge. It feels like in 19th century we believed in our scientists and advancing our knowledge. I feel today celebrities are given more importance than our scientists. The best minds of our century are focused on extracting value from rest of the population.

The other day I found a comment here on HN and I wanted to know if it's true. I asked Gemini and here is the conversation https://gemini.google.com/share/2c1089ac6fd6

You can't do something like this with search.

> But it's expensive, complicated and time-consuming to maintain - and both a source of and recipient of endless waves of spam and scams. It's an endless pile of data to hold onto, FOREVER, as well.

They should let others do email. The more email service providers we have the better it is for everyone

I used memos which has similar feature set. One day I lost my hard drive and I had to restore from s3. Turns out the backup I had was incompatible with latest version of memos app.

Since then I just gave up on web based tools for notes. I just want to save my notes and be able to recover them when things go wrong. A simple directory with markdown files and hugo blog allows me to do that.

OP how does your app store the journal entries?
