ops··on The Rapper 50 Cent, Adjusted for Inflation
He absolutely did not invent mixtapes.
ops··on Show HN: Undetectag, track stolen items with AirTag
This depends on where you are. In Florida, the police will absolutely go get your stolen property if you give them an AirTag location.
ops··on TikTok is back in the App Store
Yeah, there’s a huge difference between not enforcing federal laws and not enforcing federal laws.

Wait until you find out that in many states, you can walk into a business and buy a schedule I controlled substance, and the federal government has been ignoring it for over a decade!

ops··on 9-year-old girl wanted to save her goat from slaughter. Then came the warrant
I said GPT, not ChatGPT. But you could give ChatGPT the article, and ask it how it’s manipulative. For example, ask it whether or not the article states that there was an agreement between the buyer and the woman to sell the goat back (something that several people here have said with confidence).

I suspect GPT could write a longer, more comprehensive article (given all of the same information the journalist had access to)… and it would lead to completely different conclusions.

To me, the most important thing here isn't the lawsuit, or the goat theft, or the woman's or fair's actions at all - it's how journalism can be used to manipulate smart people into thinking one thing is true, when it's not, and what that means in a post-GPT world.

I think this type of journalism has been holding us back, as a society, and we now have the tools to fix it (or make it worse).

Where is the proof that the buyer agreed to reverse the transaction? If it were true, there was no reason to commit theft, as the buyer chooses what happens to the goat (not the middleman).

And of course, if they were to just shut up, that would encourage other goat thieves.

If this were true, why did she steal the goat? Can’t the owner just drop the charges? These articles all seem to only tell her side of the story, and clearly she has integrity issues.

I grew up on a farm - with goats - and I can certainly understand why you would want the police involved if someone comes onto your property and takes your goats. They’re easy to steal, and hard to get back. The alternative is to round up a posse.

Also - that quote doesn't sound like he agreed to sell it back to her.

The heartless person here is the one who decided to take her daughter's pet goat to a livestock auction (where it was explicitly clear that the goat would be turned into food).

Not objecting is not the same as agreeing to sell it back. If I email your office and ask if I can come take your car, and you don't respond, you didn't object, but you also didn't agree that I can come take your car.

She sold livestock at auction, and then stole the livestock back. The police took the livestock back to the auction, and it got barbecued.
ops··on ChatGPT-J: The Privacy-First, Self-Hosted Chatbot Built on GPT-J's Powerful AI
I haven't used this yet, but I am currently running GPT-J on my Mac Studio, so I suspect so.
ops··on Report: U.S. pedestrian death rate increased during COVID
It means they aren't enforcing anything.
ops··on We will not ‘walk out’ of UK, nor comply with any request to bypass encryption
Seems like this might be easy to manipulate.
ops··on Work less, get more done: Analytics for maximizing productivity (2009)
My boss just suggested that I work less, while promising a 20% raise. People (and their situations) are different.
ops··on College deans suspended after ChatGPT used to email students about mass shooting
The underlying technology is a threat to the Daily Mail and other publications like it.
ops··on Ask HN: We found a cracked version of our software on the web, now what?
Where I work, it would absurd to choose piracy over waiting a few months for approval - simply because of the risk to one’s career. Is this not the case elsewhere?
ops··on Ask HN: We found a cracked version of our software on the web, now what?
Consider this: if the license costs 1,000, most people who are pirating it can’t afford it. Those pirates are learning how to use your software, and when they get a job at a relevant firm, what software are they going to want their new bosses to buy? I think Photoshop grew quite a bit due to something like this (before they went with the subscription nonsense)
ops··on Microsoft eyes $10B bet on ChatGPT
I think you mean code-davinci-002. I’m waiting for 003 of codex, and I’m fairly sure it’s not available publicly (even to us beta testers) yet.
ops··on The creator economy: the top 1% and everyone else
Not sure about the others, but for [4], it's in their ToS:

ops··on Information and Links on Elon Musk's “Falcon Landing LLC” Jets
Correct
ops··on Information and Links on Elon Musk's “Falcon Landing LLC” Jets
There are limits (in their ToS) to the amount of ads you can have on a page, and this was way beyond that limit.

I’ve made this mistake myself :)

“Fixing it” here just means removing some of the ads. I suspect he’ll actually make more money after removing most of the ads.

ops··on Twitter has re-suspended ElonJet account
Ah, so it looks like it’s all just an insane PR stunt.
ops··on Information and Links on Elon Musk's “Falcon Landing LLC” Jets
For me, on safari, ~70% of the viewable page was google advertisements. That’s usually a good sign that they’re trying to make money.

Jack, if you see this, you should fix this before the big G suspends your AdSense account (definitely a ToS violation)

ops··on Twitter has re-suspended ElonJet account
It's easy if the plane is flying into a small airport with very little traffic (like SMO)
ops··on Twitter has re-suspended ElonJet account
Depends on which airport you're talking about. Difficult for LAX, but very, very easy for SMO (and since we're talking about a private jet, it was probably SMO and not LAX).
