> It protects them from legal action by copyright holders as long as they honor the process spelled out in the statute.

Yes, that's what I was referring to; YouTube is now saying in some of their emails[1] about taking down a video that they are not intending to forward the counter-notification to the claimant, which they are required under 17 USC 512(g)(2)(B) to do if they want to limit their liability as a service provider.

They don't have to put the video back up or do anything when someone sends a counter notification, but that means they have full copyright liability for that video. They can now be sued directly for violating copyright for each copy they made when someone viewed the video prior to when it was taken down.

In the video in my previous comment, a copyright lawyer discusses the situation. He thinks the big music industry companies that are involved in these agreements ("YouTube enters into agreements with certain music copyright owners") must have indemnified YouTube for any legal costs they might face in exchange for the power to anonymously kill videos without question or appeal.

I think the idea might be that strong AI could accelerate R&D in general. For example, the politics could change a lot if inexpensive technical solutions are found for removing carbon from the air.

That may seem rather unlikely, but the true believers in Strong AI tend to think of it as a magic wand: if people can do scientific research, why couldn't a machine do it faster?

Many such platforms exist; starting a new one from scratch without monetization scale would be difficult, but certainly not impossible. The real expense when scaling would seem to me to be moderation of illegal content actually, since you have to pay people for that.
No, you’re definitely reading it wrong ;)

This is just connecting up a serial console, nothing more.
"the opportunity with artificial general intelligence is so incomprehensibly enormous that if OpenAI manages to crack this particular nut, it could “maybe capture the light cone of all future value in the universe"

This feels a bit too Kurzweilian to me. I still don't understand how we go from General AI --> ??? --> Infinite $$$

Right. In that case, it won’t be true AGI.
A moral social AI would never tolerate the super apex predator that is the human being.
I have used them to prove equivalence between pseudo code and optimized production code. Several rounding-related tricks and a too large search space made it very difficult to prove with traditional testing.

There new guidelines in the US that still recommend aspirin based on cardiovascular risk. That aspirin increases the risk of bleeding is old news. The difficulty has been in quantifying the risk/benefit. You should consult with your doctor about your specific circumstance.
You've misread my comment. I meant to say that swearing will get caught in code review like anything else.
Yeah, there's a big assumptions about the nature of an AGI breakthrough, mainly that it will be a snowball of run away value. Why assume this? Is it because we think AlphaGo/Zero can produce human-like cognition? Why wouldn't it be a long, incremental process of X thousand small breakthroughs, over say a decade, where the result is something like average human-level intelligence; maybe the most important invention of our time, but not super intelligence, and not "run away".

(Then after another X years (or decades) you might figure out super intelligence, if regulations haven't intervened by then)

If the trajectory is incremental as described, it seems untenable that OpenAI could keep some major monopolistic advantage on AGI, without being completely un-open/sealed off for decade(s).
Yeah, I was careless on not preserving the nice feature of your code that kept there from ever being a match, figuring that the chances were low of a hit; but of course that assumption went out the window when the array got way bigger. After posting, I noticed the issue, so I made a similar change to yours, and the results didn't change. I do suggest that you change the line that sets 'key' to not make it known at compile-time, to avoid unrealistic optimizations, thus:

const int key = random() | 0x80000000; // ensure no match
Intelligence..by definition...will ‘learn’ automatically and will slip beyond the constraints of human generated code.
I see, so the hardware detection is from the modern machine detecting the serial port. That truly is the definition of a terminal then. Still, pretty cool!
When taking baby Aspirin and having anticipated bleeding (e.g. planned surgery or dental work), hematologist's advice was to start preparing about two weeks in advance: take pill every other day for about a week, then stop for another week.

I read through your posts because I was wondering who you are, just heads up. Anyway, I actually don't know of too many books that deal with that scale, maybe Asimov's Foundation series, but I am guessing you read that already. I find it hard to compare the TBD problem to anything because I just thought it was utter tripe, on the level of Brandon Sanderson's / Roger Zelazny's books - a lot of content, very little substance (with the exception of "This Immortal" by Zelazny, which is supposedly the inspiration for Planescape: Torment, which I can wholeheartedly recommend to any teenager).

Of course, you might also enjoy Piknik na Obochine, Trudno Bit Bogom, and Neukratimaya Planeta, as people of your particular background tend to do ;^)

This really sucks. But just because he has gotten a "license" from a musician friend does not mean that they can use/copy any sounds or melodies, and the company attacking him might have some kind of valid claim.

Tree shakers require that you look at every function-bound symbol and determine if that symbol appears in the call graph of the main function(s) or in an isolated call graph. The functions that follow the call graph exist in most Common Lisps but they are not standardized; they're implementation-dependent. That's part of the reason tree shakers aren't widespread. Another reason is that if you're using the compiler in your runtime, even isolated parts of the call graph can still be useful, so tree shaking becomes something of a policy decision rather than a pure algorithm.

Go was and is by design a "boring" language. The core designers didn't have much trouble looking at decades of prior art and getting it mostly right.

Rust libraries should be expected to take a few tries to get right, especially earlier in its lifecycle. There's more possibilities and less experience in the language.

You can see a similar effect in Haskell, which has iterated many basic bits of functionality many times over.

Google has become a big horrible disaster. I'm extremely disappointed in what is going on these days.

I am a heavy user of Nest (7 cameras, other accessories). I've fully bought into the ecosystem. I literally have no idea what's going on. It sounds to me who is only casually paying attention that they're killing off Nest and the Nest brand. Whether that may or may not be true, they need to understand the perception of their actions to their users. Do they really expect most people to say "Okay, I need to spend 10 minutes and read through exactly what this all means."

Now I'm left with the dreaded feeling that my Dropcams and Nestcams will no longer work in the near future.

Google has really damaged their brand because I no longer consider them reliable. If I buy a brand that is associated with Google, I expect that it will get changed in the next year or so into something that I can't comprehend or don't want, and it makes me want to search for alternatives.

I don't want to "merge" my accouns with Google Home. I want to keep my single account on Nest like I have for many years now, and I just want alerts and to be able to see my cameras. All this other nonsense that they're trying to pull me into is not what I want as a consumer, and it upsets me that Google is becoming this kind of company.

They are in many ways worse than Microsoft was at their worst. Before Microsoft used to be a monopoly on the desktop, but Google is now turning into a monopoly in my entire life.

Meanwhile, Nest has been dormant for most of its existence, releasing only a few features. But in terms of cameras it's the most reliable which is why I stick with it. But there are so many opportunities for them to improve this service and it feels abandoned. Instead of adding features, like animal detection or car detection, they are worried about how I log in or who my account is? That's just stupid.

One of the major problems with the app store model is that we’re entirely dependent on gatekeepers to do anything. It’s bad enough that the stores themselves are roadblocks when it comes to making improvements (like better search to weed out the crap). It’s insane when you consider that the gatekeepers make lots of money when apps do questionable things.
There’s always an opinionated default about everything. Having the default be no organ donation is as much a decision of the state as having the default be the opposite.

Labor can and should form a cooperative. There are many in US. This hypothetical cooperative can put all the policies in place which they want but do not get from Google.

> It must be said, again and again: corporations exist at the sufferance of the society that grants them their charter and only exist for the benefit of that society. A company that can't do that should have its charter revoked.

This sounds like BS to me. I see all the companies doing serious harm to humanity, environment, ecology are running just fine. Do you have examples of charter getting revoked?
As far as the court case goes, it's basically just like it would be if the complainant had simply sued you directly for copyright infringement. If you win, the court can award you costs and attorney fees. I'm not sure how they decide whether or not to do so.

A claimant trying to use DMCA where it is not justifiable faces a couple other deterrents.

First, unless the claimant is representing themselves in the case, they are going to have an attorney, and that attorney is going to take into account Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure [1]. If the claimant doesn't have a fairly reasonable case, he is going to have trouble finding an attorney.

Second, knowingly including false information on a DMCA takedown notice is perjury. The claimant can face criminal charges for that (although it would probably have to involve someone doing this on a large scale to get Federal prosecutors to prosecute).

Knowingly filing a false DMCA takedown also makes you liable for civil damages, including costs and attorney fees, incurred by the target of the takedown notice, the hosting provider, and in the case where neither the complainant or the target are the copyright owner, the actual copyright owner.

If the complainant who knowingly files a false takedown notice actually follows through and sue you for infringement, I'd guess that the damages due to you for the false notice would be handled there.

If the complainant isn't that stupid, and drops the matter after the notice and counter-notice, you could sue them over the false notice.

I hate the idea of the yearly summit. People working remotely may have health or social issues on a greater average. There is a benefit to face to face but requiring the team to fly to remote locations yearly makes a local company with a normal christmas party seem more attractive.

The point of the "if" example is that there is a difference between expressions and statements... yes, Python has a conditional expression (since Python 2.5, before it didn't), but it had to be a different syntax for that reason; the "if" expression is a completely different thing than the "if" statement (it's what's sometimes called a "ternary conditional") it just happens to use the same keywords (but without the ":"). In LISP everything is an expression, the syntax is totally uniform.
Sounds very nice. A feature I'd love to see is not directly a timeout but a periodic reminder.

Also, obligatory: automatically archive each site that I bookmark. Too often I've found myself trying to return to a bookmark only to find the page gone.

This is great advice. Being a remote worker the advice on having time in the morning to yourself before starting and a shutdown is super important. Another aspect I found is to get dressed up even if it is just wearing jeans as it mentally shifts you from leisure to work.

The Deep Work in the morning to really dive into a single thing is important even just for self-discipline. But it does take a while to really hone this and as he said remote work isn’t for everyone. It feels like it’s better suited for introverts than extroverts.

In Washington State, there was an almost full-ban on non-compete that was proposed a few years ago. Google came to the public hearings with full support for the law as it is (which make sense given the status for non compete in California - and how it got sued by Microsoft over one employee). The law would have made it that non-compete are void if laid-off, and void if over 1 year max or if you're not an executive employee.

But Microsoft, Amazon, and the hospitals fought it hard.
(Hospitals are using it on both nurses and doctors apparently)

So the bill got rewritten where it only applies to people with a total comp less than 185k, and where student debt could be subtracted to that 185k. This got fought more by opponents.

Now the ban on non compete only applies to people whose yearly salary (total comp as listed on W-2) is less than 100k,
So doctors and tech workers at those companies get nothing out of it, except the clarification that non compete:

- cannot be for longer than 18 months

- if employee is laid off and non compete is enforced, the company must pay base salary for the duration of non-compete.

Not everything is an adversarial thing about two opposing groups of people.
The most intriguing 'graf in the article for me was this:

'After scouring the results of nearly 100,000 marathon finishers, Sandra Hunter, a professor of exercise science at Wisconsin’s Marquette University, made an interesting—if not intuitive—find. The more men there are in a race relative to the amount of women, the bigger the performance gap between those genders. “If you had one female for every twenty men, the likelihood that that female is going to be the best . . . compared with the best male in that age group is pretty small,” says Hunter.'

Which suggests it has a lot more to do with the statistics of outliers than anything else. Elite performance is signal (training!) plus noise (daily variation, environmental variance, Athena rooting for you, etc), which can overwhelm the signal on any given day. But each participant is also a random draw on the /signal/ variable as well. Get more people in the event, and you get more draws on the signal variable. Get more people on race day, and you get more chances for outliers on the noise variable.
