spacebacon··on The real data wall is billions of years of evolution
Lots of good thinking in this article. A few things come to mind before we hit a data wall.

1. Sensor all things

2. Waves upon waves

3. Dynamic or Living Semiotic Graphs. Bring your own terminology.

4. General Artificial Synesthesia.

spacebacon··on Tracking the historical events that lead to the interweaving of knowledge (2021)
Semiotic graph may be a better term?
spacebacon··on The U.S. is approving citizenship applications at the fastest speed in years
There is a place for us bottom readers on HN’s too. Honor the downvote.
spacebacon··on The U.S. is approving citizenship applications at the fastest speed in years
I don’t know the exact algorithm, but I can give you a good idea why this might have happened. I hope you feel I’m not being critical, but rather trying to help explain that this is probably not personal…

1. Sensitive Topic

2. Rhetorical Questions and Ambiguity

3. Implied Criticism

4. Complex Sentence Structure (I’m guilty of writing in the same format as my thoughts too)

5. The Typo (“own country” instead of “on country”)

This effectively describes why you were likely algorithmically downvoted.

spacebacon··on Behind OpenAI's plan to make A.I. flow like electricity
The reason we hate them is we rarely reveal our true secrets and methods. These stacks of creative building blocks (digital and physical) serve an artist well. Now anyone can be almost as good as a resourceful artist with a little effort.

The reason we love them is the same reason we love art… To create something out of nothing with the resources at hand.

Most artist love and hate, xor love to hate while simultaneously hating to love ai.

spacebacon··on Software development for the DMT headspace
Have you considered testing with molecular modeling and protein folding?

If you can prove someone on a psychedelic is proficient at this task you may be able to pierce the subjective veil of this study.

spacebacon··on US Trademark Office Cancels Marvel, DC's 'Super Hero' Marks
Superb Hero FTW
spacebacon··on Critical Mass and Tipping Points
It does mean something was manipulated though. In most cases attention and or resources. Both finite at some scale. When either is gained it does take from something else.

spacebacon··on Launch HN: Marblism (YC W24) – Generate full-stack web apps from a prompt
Assuming the end goal is to serve humanity. Will a human always be better at using an LLM or will LLM’s eventually be better at using LLM’s to serve humanity?
spacebacon··on CitizenDJ – Make music using free audio and video from the Library of Congress
I agree, this is one of the rare occasions one has an abundance of samples and content to work with. No generative ai required to have a lot of fun. Good job.
spacebacon··on Omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior, says Larry Ellison
It’s already happening. Ai is being used today to review police cam footage. Not in real time but that’s also not a huge barrier.
spacebacon··on Fuck founder mode. Work in "Fuck off mode"
Fuck manipulation … oops there went the whole internet.
spacebacon··on DOJ claims Google has "trifecta of monopolies" on Day 1 of ad tech trial
Very true, few people know how to keep ads profitable when you have a high volume of traffic. The rotation scheme used to help. In a way publishers have to have their own private ad tech to integrate with commercial ad tech to game it in some way in order to not be completely milked in a never ended reduction of value of one’s traffic as a user base grows unresponsive.

Representing the broker, the publisher and the house is efficient and is how google can spend your ad budget and deliver absolutely nothing in return. It takes expertise (more money) and a long runway to even break even with todays google “ad tech”.

spacebacon··on CitizenDJ – Make music using free audio and video from the Library of Congress
If you could build it in 2024 what would you do differently and what would you keep the same?
spacebacon··on AI-powered music scam nets musician $10M in royalties–and federal charges
AI tends to master these creations. If a song is mastered it’s likely documented who mastered it. This could birth a music industry fueled authentication service in the future.
spacebacon··on QUIC is not quick enough over fast internet
See arXiv link in comments.
spacebacon··on FBI recommends using an ad blocker (2022)
Jeff Johnson’s “Stop the Script” (iOS, MacOS). Blocks all JS, including inline. If a site doesn’t have a fallback to serve static content or is not readable when I disable JavaScript… I leave.
spacebacon··on Manipulating large language models to increase product visibility
Advertising is just another sign system. Most sign systems use and or manipulate environments.

You just used a digital forum to advertise your opinion.

spacebacon··on Ask HN: How Can I Quickly Launch My Web Product and Attract Target Users?
Not related to your first submission on hacker news to git?
spacebacon··on Ask HN: How Can I Quickly Launch My Web Product and Attract Target Users?
What’s your product?
spacebacon··on Ask HN: How Can I Quickly Launch My Web Product and Attract Target Users?
Product Hunt, paid ads, affiliates, emails, social media, niche market places, business journals, trade shows, newsletter placements, press releases, direct mail, business cards, local orgs and institutions, meetups, and free beer.
spacebacon··on "it's nothing to do with solder. it's capacitors"
I’ve exhausted options on my 4090. I sense a need for a “can you bake it” YT channel.
spacebacon··on Dynamicland 2024
An interface makes programs more accessible to humans by placing them within a spatial field that's more familiar to our natural conditions.

Most people with programming skills prefer the command line interface. The advantage of integrating computation and design into the real world is increased accessibility and ease of learning.

However, after selling my LightForm projector and all AR/VR equipment in pursuit of similar novel solutions, I can confidently say I now prefer workflows that are contained within a small device I can carry in my pocket and stow away when done.

My preferred interface is simply an easy button.

spacebacon··on Depression has a consistent mark in the brain even when symptoms are absent
I wonder if UI/UX design people here have an enlarged salient network region?

Salience is crucial in semiotic understanding when designing for other humans that are unique and different to the designer.

The best are very thoughtful people.

spacebacon··on The vagus nerve orchestrates the mind-body connection
Guess it's time to synapse a new pun into the mix.
spacebacon··on The vagus nerve orchestrates the mind-body connection
The nerve of this guy.
spacebacon··on Wells Fargo employee found dead at desk after 4 days
It’s possible he spent his life studying the subject or watches a lot of Gistory Channel that often reveals blunt force trauma as a cause of death in various archeological digs. It seems to be a recurring theme that is safe enough to generalize without verbose reasoning attached.
spacebacon··on This behavior is by design
I have a feel for the tone llamaimperative is referencing. The choice to reflect from a more critical point of view has inspired further useful dialog in interpreting your contents for me personally. Good work, do better may be the deeper message here. In a nice way.
spacebacon··on Show HN: turn videos into ASCII art (open source, js+canvas)
Maybe start to head into the direction of filters. Stuff that after effects can already do for video. Stay interested in this and keep improving. Great work.
