Which part of "common ownership" means that you somehow doesn't own it? The whole idea is that you do own it - in part, but enough to get a say in what to do with it.

"It" being the means of production - factories, data centers, farms. Not your personal belongings.


I am talking about buyers of labor, labor which is sold by people.

>Or do some people (company owners) deserve special government labels/treatment/protections while others (zero hour workers) don't?

Obviously not, but I have no idea what you are referring to in the context of this discussion. A "corporation" has always been free to stop buying something from another "corporation" anytime.


Let alone that Nano Banana 2 is Gemini Image 3.1

> Fun fact: copyright law was invented in the UK basically because painters and sculptors (!) considered photography theft. That came to a large degree before "real" text copyright as we know it today.

This is...not true? Or at least I can find no basis for your claims.

UK Copyright for books and sculpture predated the invention of photography and existed in a completely recognizable form ("a copyright term of 14 years, with a provision for renewal for a similar term, during which only the author and the printers to whom they chose to license their works could publish the author's creations.[4] Following this, the work's copyright would expire, with the material falling into the public domain"[1]).

Paintings and photographs gained copyright protection at the same time, in the 1862 Fine Arts Copyright Act, seemingly because it seemed natural to extend the haphazardly covered fine arts more completely.

If 90% of code is for hobbies that don't cost anyone anything when it breaks, great - but launching rockets into space with million or billion dollar payloads is akin to software that makes millions or billions of dollars, and vibeslop is simply a liability at best in any real use case past a weekend hobby project.

It's trivial to look up the switch port configuration of a consumer router once you put OpenWRT on it. The most common topology is the CPU has two RGMII/XGMII or similar links to an 8-port switch chip, five more ports of the switch are connected PHYs for external ports and configured for the LAN VLAN, and the last port is connected to a PHY for an external port and configured for the WAN VLAN. This does not result in any VLAN tags being emitted over the wire, but from the perspective of the switch silicon it's just one of many possible VLAN configurations. Changing which physical port is the WAN port is as simple as assigning a different switch port to that VLAN.

Biome has been out of alpha for a few years now and is fantastic :-)

Interesting. Whatever they are doing it's a bit different than Anthropic and oAI, which is good for the consumer. I'm curious about their ML Ops internally; would be fascinating to learn more.

The people behind it are active in the comments on the big HN post about this

An article written by an expert is nothing like this. You might be able to get something similar out of an LLM but it's gonna take a lot more effort then was out into this.

I love osmand. But every new update seems slower. Navigation speed is mostly ok, I use it for walking and cycling which means routes tend to be short. But panning and zooming the map is just annoyingly slow. It sort of works when I disable most map features, but the map features are the reason I use osmand...

I think there is a second reason people still type, and it's relevant to LLMs. Typing forces you to slow down and choose your words. When you want to edit, you are already typing, so it doesn't break the flow. In short, it has a fit to the work that speech-to-text doesn't.

LLMs create a new workflow wherever they are employed. Even if capable, that is not always a more desirable/efficient experience.


Dorsey practically invented it.

Multi-model failover is useful but it’s solving the wrong problem first. The bottleneck for most OpenClaw deployments isn’t model access — it’s that the agent can’t prove what it knows, can’t demonstrate that a skill is safe before running it, and stores everything in flat files that any compromised process can read or modify.

I’d rather see effort on verifiable memory and skill signing than on making it easier to route between more models. The model layer is already the most interchangeable part of the stack.


No not really. It's a thing you can do just because you can, like writing a book without the letter "e". Closer to the context of computation, it's like building a computer using only NAND gates. Or, given how restrictive the S combinator supposedly is, using only AND and OR gates. It won't make an efficient computer because your design is convoluted to all hell to make up for your choice to never use a NOT gate. Even the one made from NAND isn't efficient, because even though NAND can make any circuit without being too convoluted, it's not the most efficient way to make all circuits.

Meanwhile Apple iPhone sales were up 23% YoY end of last year. It'll likely be a good year for Apple, with a little more room in margin to make some plays, and a lottt of cash.

There was certainly a contingent who believed that 3d printing was going to replace all other forms of manufacturing. It was even going to make custom food for us on order.

If you balked at the idea, then you were the bad guy, or treated with pity for being so out of touch. Usually you got the Kubler-Ross Stages thrown at you.


Yeah ask this guy how he’d feel if a different party were in power and doing this.

I suspect they mean "days that I deal off" rather than "every day". Even elite climbers struggle with ligament issues climbing every single day

> The S, K combinators defined by Moses Schönfinkel on December 7, 1920, are together known to be computation universal. On December 7, 2020, Stephen Wolfram made the suggestion that S alone might also be universal.

I wonder how long in advance Stephen Wolfram first had this thought and waited until the centennial to publicize the suggestion.


Is it that different from downloading and running a binary?

Since 2017 they are yes.

>Would any football fan watch this?

Depends what the future of VR worlds look like, and what the viewers place is in them.


In Soviet Russia, Slashdot becomes HN!

What is annoying about Nano Banana, is how bad is experience when you try to iterate or, especially, repeat same task for another photo. After second of third image it starts randomly ansering with complete nonsense like "I'm just a language mode and can't assist with that" or "I can't do that" (with absolutely the same prompt it had no issues 2 photos in a row in the same chat).

It also gaslights me, when I point out on an error. I tried to create a cartoon portrait of the person from photo and use background from another photo. It got wrong the order of photos. I provided filenames and explicitly told which one is for person and which for bg. It generated it wrong again, and all attempts to explain that it got it wrong were met with "No, it's YOU incorrect". So frustrating.


I've heard Andor described as having the same vibe as The Mandalorian's episode "The Convert"; the one about the former Imperial scientist being rehabilitated and living in an apartment block with other former Imperials.

If so, I will like Andor. I really liked "The Convert".


You're likely to find more nuance in opposing views than your "underwhelmed by AI" generalisation could represent.

you don't think LLM impacts on productivity were a factor at all?

I'm curious about the statement that hallucinations are "fundamentally unsolvable". I don't think an AI agent has left a hallucination in my code - by which I mean a reference to something which doesn't exist at all - in many months. I have had great luck driving hallucinations to effectively 0% by using a language with static typechecking, telling LLMs to iterate on type errors until there are none left, and of course having a robust unit and e2e test suite. I mean, sure, I run into other problems -- it does make logic errors at some rate, but those I would hardly categorize the same as hallucinations.

Exactly.

The city heavily discourages car use for commuting.

Offices have no parking spaces.

Any parking you do find in central London will be paid at an extreme rate.

To drive into the city costs around $20 per day, increasing much further if you have an older, polluting vehicle.

There is so much congestion that it is usually faster to walk than drive.
