This is equivalent to saying a C Major chord only exists in our brains since it isn't a note.


Well if we get on to hearing, our ears do a lot better than our eyes. From the source entering into hole on either side of our head we can split the sound into a myriad of frequencies and gather a lot of information from it.

In a similar situation from a single point of light out eyes would say "sort of blue-ish". Most visible frequency information is ignored.


It seems reasonable to me to say that soundwaves exist in the world, but music only exists in our brains. There is something added in our perception of the soundwaves that turns them into music.


Something exits in the world, it seems. Sound waves and music are merely our interpretation of it. Maybe what actually exists in the world is music, and sound waves are what our brain invents when the music is too complex for it to grasp?


I guess my point is that sound waves are not terribly controversial. A simple device can measure sound waves present in the air. It would be much more difficult to build a device that told you whether music was playing. Reasonable people could disagree about whether certain sound waves constitute music or noise.


I think there is still an issue. I think it is counting down to the next 7:39 local time. Right now it says opens in 22h 50m for me (I am in mountain time) (this was at 8:49 MST / 10:49 EST)


Here is Elon's quote of that tweet with the monocle emoji https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1882301283090190520



Even if you already have TikTok on you phone, you can’t use it now and get the following message:

> Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now

> A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.

> We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!


If only our climate emergency had such a hero to swoop in and save the planet. Pretty sure I saw a headline on HN last week that we already blew through the 1.5C limit, I doubt it got a fraction of the 2000+ hits this story got yesterday.


Does that hold for VPNs, or does it use app store download location?


VPN doesn’t work for TikTok so must be based on the App Store. VPN does seem to work to use CapCut so far though.


No, I don’t see it in App Store but TikTok works fine when I’m outside US


That’s dishonest of ByteDance. The legislated ban doesn’t mean the existing US users can’t use it right now. This message simply means that ByteDance made a business decision to shut it down for the existing US user base.

I understand several reasons they might be making that business decision, including supportability reasons. I also get why they might be choosing to explain the situation dishonestly. But understanding their potential motivations doesn’t make a dishonest explanation any less dishonest.


It gets people to not need to carry their wallet anymore so they will use apple/google pay instead of physical cards.


They could emergency return to earth right away if needed.


Groq also has pay as you go pricing for llama3 8B for only $0.05/$0.08 that is very fast.


Groq is actually allowing you to pay now and get real service?


The option to pay is still listed as coming soon, but I also see pricing information in the settings page, so maybe it actually is coming somewhat sooner. I’m seeing $0.05/1M input and $0.10/1M output for llama3 8B, which is not exactly identical to what the previous person quoted.

Either way, I wish Groq would offer a real service to people willing to pay.


I found the .05/.08 here: https://wow.groq.com/


tl;dr: no-ish, it's getting better but still not there.

I don't really get it, only thing I can surmise is it'd be such a no-brainer in various cases, that if they tried supporting it as a service, they'd have to cut users. I've seen multiple big media company employees begging for some sort of response on their discord.


didn't know they finally turned on pricing plans


Starship launch attempt is tomorrow, great week for space!


Jan Leike, the former co-lead of the team with Ilya Sutskever, shared his thoughts on x: https://x.com/janleike/status/1791498174659715494


I don’t have an account on Twitter. Can you please copy paste those thoughts?


I believe this image posted in a different thread has them: https://jnnnthnn.com/leike.png


So basically, it's confirmed that OpenAI has totally abandoned its original priorities.

Personally, I hope AGI is an unrealizable nerd fantasy, and OpenAI gets destroyed by Musk's lawsuit.
