theCrowing··on Privacy is ok
He is right but I hate people talking about the government like it's some random entity. You are able to vote, you can decide who is the government AND here comes to the kicker you can even be IN the government. You just prefer to not be, you prefer to build artificial stuff to circumvent what your elected government does. It's so counterintuitive.

The fight is already lost, you are on a death march if you want to put the cat back in the bag.
theCrowing··on Tesla driver falls asleep – Autopilot ignores police and continues driving
That's why most of the other systems use eye tracking but tesla decided against it.
theCrowing··on AI Enters the Newsroom
MSN fired their whole news room and relies on AI for almost anything. They had a rough start but now there is close to no difference in quality - might be because the quality wasn't great to begin with but still talking in absolutes like "XYZ will never happen" will most likely come back and smash you in the face.
theCrowing··on How the death of SRAM will affect the future of PCs
Good article I would still prefer that they would put the 3nm in quotation marks.As great as the advancements of TSMC were over the last decade their naming scheme is anything but and it's also not in relation to their actual node size anymore.

No, I am not your servant.

What work? I told you how to look up trademarks and patents. I can do it again: If you want to look up trademarks and patents you can use the search function on the uspto website.

You are the one who is desperately trying to make a point without putting any work into it despite, as seen in the other comments in this thread and on mastodon, that the problem we are discussing is exactly the problem they face. lmao

How do you know if he's not a lawyer? You are dashing out assumptions left and right and are criticizing others for it. And yes, they have trademarks and patents for part of their UI and product names. You can easily check them out by using the uspto website.

Just change your mobile UI from being a carbon copy to something original? They even copied the names of the filters. A cease and desist seems justified.

Your title implies the opposite.
theCrowing··on Ask HN: How much does it cost to run Hacker News?
Oh you might be right I could've sworn traceroute said cloudflare when I probed it.
theCrowing··on Can AI Replace Humans in Creative Tasks?
Yay, another GPT "gotcha article" and a lazy one at that. They all read and sound the same because besides the "I want to write a gotcha article." They didn't even try to understand the possibilities of the tool they are writing with. It's just the bog standard "Let's write an article together." prompt. sic.
theCrowing··on Ask HN: How much does it cost to run Hacker News?
They had a hardware failure this year and were for a really short time on a cloud instance and behind cloudflare.

Oh, wow I didn't recognize it by your username at first, but I use your repository/substack a lot for research. Thanks for the work.

I hope they got the database with the generated bot accounts to see if any of them were detected by the social networks.
theCrowing··on Ask HN: Why doesn't Podcasts app quit on macOS when you quit it (e.g., cmd-q)?
It's mainly because Activity Monitor and Force Close Apps send "terminate" instead of the "applicationShouldTerminate" from cmd+q.
theCrowing··on Reverse-engineering the source prompts of Notion AI
The reverse engineering is done by the clip model and not by hand.
theCrowing··on Reverse-engineering the source prompts of Notion AI
It's the same as with generative art models that use CLIP you can do a reverse search and the prompt might not be exactly the same, but the outcome is.
theCrowing··on Ask HN: Why doesn't Podcasts app quit on macOS when you quit it (e.g., cmd-q)?
You can force close it instead of Command+q by using Option+Command+Esc.

@anigbrowl looks like the question really was how he can force close it..........

theCrowing··on Ask HN: Why doesn't Podcasts app quit on macOS when you quit it (e.g., cmd-q)?
It works as intended the dev can choose if he wants to invoke NSTerminateNow, NSTerminateCancel or NSTerminateLater if someone hits cmd+q. Writing condescending comments instead of contributing to the topic is also really helpful. bleh.

You answered your own question?

Does anyone have any idea what the software/hardware stack looks like for an ops like that?

theCrowing··on Ask HN: What AI can identify “famous” people from a photo?
https://ntechlab.com/findface-multi/ is the best AI for people/face recognition but it's Russian and it is used to surveil their population so there is a big moral aspect to consider before using it.

You probably could also use CLIP [1] with the Stable Diffusion weights if you want to build it yourself.

theCrowing··on What Is the Oldest Computer Program Still in Use?
In 2006, with 17, I worked on an internal bank system from the 70s mostly written in COBOL during my apprenticeship in Germany. We had the choice to go for java or COBOL at the time, but they begged us to go with COBOL and despite the dusty tools I liked the old school tooling more than everything I use now. There should really be a case for the "Duale Ausbildung" like we have in Germany in other countries. You are cycling between working for 6 weeks and 2 weeks of school over the duration of 3 years. I got my bachelor's degree afterwards and in retrospect the "Duale Ausbildung" was a way better form of learning and getting ready for the real world.
