Yes, it is.

The fact that other datasets are also massively infringing is evidence of a severe problem for the field, not an exoneration.
Task concurrency is probably not a great idea for heavy numeric work anyways, right? I’m scratching my head a bit about what the use case for this is in Julia given that there are much better ways of doing parallelism already.
Judging solely from screenshots I’d say the biggest difference is that it is not a shell extension but a self contained program.
I would say it prepared you differently. The argument is between specialisation and generalisation. It could be argued that a large proportion of a CS degree is useless for one particular application. Who cares about assembly when you do python all day? Or how does that computer graphics module help you with a back end server? Especially when most people have forgotten it when they did it 5,10, 20 years ago.
Ah but one might argue there is transferable knowledge in these areas! Your knowledge of assembly helps you to know what’s actually happening to the computer and why that bug happened; or that algorithm for graphics is very similar to this one for a server. These are very valid arguments, and a similar thing is true for an even broader education. Deciphering ancient religious texts gave him a similar skill set as needed for programming, and potentially a different one to most other programmers. So much of life is learning how to reason in different ways, often they come in handy, and different experience leads to a diversity in thoughts, which gives an edge in solving new problems.
I am very much a proponent of generalisation and then specialisation (along with variety in this path) for optimal performance.

I love this comment

I love it because it feels angry, so at least someone out there is alive

I often feel this way but it’s not constant

I dig social situations and banter and all that often

But

If I’m at work I’m often thinking HOW DO WE CRUSH THE COMPETITION MORE AND FASTER FORGET YOUR VACUUM CLEANER’S INABILITY TO PICK UP DUST PROPERLY (and this usually requires that I forget about whatever damage I/my company am/are actually doing in the world)

if I happen to be in ‘start my next project’ mode I couldn’t dream of going to an actual social event to talk about anything else because I’d have to get smashed just to temporarily forget about WHAT I WANT TO THINK ABOUT

I think part of it is just cultural/economics/etc. Like back in the day a lot of people read or at least thought about things deeply/carefully, and now it’s all ‘professional wrestling’ — tv, propaganda, etc.

I really dig smart PhDs while accepting PhDs can be as monstrous as anyone else, just with more power

The idea that you could train smart, passionate people to figure something out that could be good for humanity and then set them loose — it’s just awesome.
Tips to Test a Social Media Mobile Application
I'm partial to something more akin to SEH for the synchronous signals (SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGTRAP). Basically, define that synchronous signals are handled per-thread in a manner similar to try/catch, although you need an extra catch type that amounts to "retry the operation" in addition to "rethrow" and "swallow the exception".

The BBC ran a phenomenal article here [1] detailing a wide array of data on the longevity of people through the ages. How long did higher class Ancient Greeks live? Ancient Greece dates back to starting around 3,300 years ago. In spite of their remarkable technological achievements they remained almost entirely ignorant of medicine. They relied on a system based around the 'four humors' - blood, phlegm, yellow/black bile. They had no clue about germs or any other basic fundamentals of modern medicine. Vaccines? You need to wait about 3,000 years. And their hygenic habits are the sort we'd find pretty questionable. For instance they obviously did not have rolls of 2 ply at their toilets. Instead what they had were sponges - butt brushes. One guy'd do his business. You'd come in, and give the well used sponge a swirl about in some water. For the fancy toilets, you might give it a swirl in some vinegar. And then you'd have your go.

So how long did they live? The BBC article mentioned a 'census' of the longevity of individuals we now are familiar with. The median life expectancy was 72 years. Pythagorus - 75, Hippocrates - 90, Plato - 80, etc. Of course there's some some selection bias there, but there is also other evidence of their longevity as well. For instance in Ancient Rome one could not hold the office of Consul until reaching the age of 43, first office was not available until age 30. Another mildly intriguing part anecdote there is that the life expectancy declined pretty substantially for those born in the latter part of the civilization (after 100BC) to only 66 years. The likely culprit there is the installation of significant public piping systems... made out of lead. They inadvertently poisoned themselves for centuries.

The article also goes on to analyze numerous other sources than tend to paint a recurring picture: there was high infant and youth mortality, but people who made it to adulthood tended to have a life expectancy not all that different than we do today. It seems to suggest that a large part of our increased life expectancy is not from the trillions of dollars we've spent on trying to find a [profit making] pill for everything, but instead from very simple things like access to clean water and food.

May be not a popular opinion but I think we feel happier when we spend friends because it helps us forget about ourselves and inner dialogues. I don’t mean it in a sad or depressing way but our mind chatters all the time and it’s exhausting for the body’s resources.

Spending time with others gives us break from that.

Such compliance may protect Danbooru itself from some specific causes of action, particularly if Danbooru is able to convince the court that they were truly innocuous middlemen and that the site itself was not designed from the ground up to facilitate such infringement. Such a task would be an uphill battle in most jurisdictions subject to the Hague Convention.

However, all of that is irrelevant when the concerns are the distribution of the site's contents by torrent, or the use of those copyrighted images in making derivative works. In both cases the party in question is now first-party to the concern, either the distribution or the derivation.

This seems like a very common sentiment regarding anime especially among white people in America. I think the reason for that is partly stylistic choices of anime but if we are really honest, Japanese people if not many Asian peoples appear as children to white people. This of course seems mostly visual/aesthetically based, a similar but opposite disposition towards black people exists in America[0]. Japanese animators draw characters that emulate characteristics they find familiar, which makes sense, and thus they appear "childish" to Americans.

I could bring up old racial stereotypes regarding Asian people to further bolster this point but I think most people are aware of this.

Automatic type conversion I think is a mistake. It’s a huge cause for bugs. But even if not, automatic string to number parsing is definitely not something I want in my production code. Not only is it something that causes hard to debug errors, if in a tight loop, it can have big performance impact. There’s a reason modern languages have become stricter on type conversation, instead of less strict. This language looks cool, but I will never use it for this reason.
Sure they have monopolies on their platforms, but the key point is how they act within their monopolies

The argument is that what Apple's doing inside there 'monopoly' is egregious enough to run afoul of these laws. Whether creating a music app on their system that is by default at a 30% revenue advantage compared to their competitors runs afoul of these laws is the question.

Monopolies by themselves aren't necessarily a problem it's when they leverage their monopoly position that there are issues.

Former HF portfolio manager. I actually set up a Mauritius entity to invest into India about a decade ago for a large multi-strategy HF.

The suggestion that Mauritius is a stable and well-understood platform for investing into India has the causality completely backwards. Mauritius is stable and prosperous because of the investments that are siphoned through it and the local economy it creates! Compare Mauritius to Maldives for an abject lesson on the effects of the offshore economy on an Island nation.

The fact that the funds are invested in India through Mauritius does not exempt them from Indian laws! The only thing it does is that disputes among the passthru firm's shareholders are resolved in Mauritius court. Similar to using Delaware in the US, it does not exempt the company from US taxes or laws but just makes intra-company disputes the domain of Delaware Chancellery court where laws are well-nderstood.

The only reason for any institution to use Mauritius as a conduit is to avoid taxes under the DTAA and to anonymize the source of funds to Indian authorities. Any large institution will find domiciles to minimize their tax burden. They engage law firms and accountants who bill hundreds of dollars an hour to do this. Every single institutional investor across the spectrum from hedge funds, private equity, venture capital funds to corporations does this. Any other suggestion to the contrary is just fantastic.

Maybe, but they probably won't right? Like, if you had to bet money on if anyone is going to sue these guys over the next couple years, which side would you bet on?

I'd bet on "No". The reality is that these people probably made some X0,000 dollars on this, and nobody is going to bother to pay lawyers a bunch of money to go after something, that only kinda sorta looks like infringement to machine learning experts who are squinting really hard, all in order to claim their 1/3millionth percentage claim on it.

I don't see anybody wasting their time and money to go after a machine learning waifu vending machine that is hosted at a couple anime conventions.
Julia has has the equivalent of async/await forever, except without needing to annotate anything with keywords—that’s just how I/O works. If you call a blocking function, it yields back into the scheduler. In Julia (as of 1.3), tasks are mapped onto multiple threads which run at the same time (in parallel) and threads that are idle can steal work efficiently. This is similar (as was said) to Cilk, TBB and Go. It is not the same as async/await in C#, which is concurrent but not parallel.

What is 100% new and does not exist in any other system is that the task scheduling is depth first (rather than breadth first), which is a much better order for doing compute-heavy workloads. This ability is new and was the culmination of an Intel research project, applied to Julia.

You've fallen for a simple marketing campaign. What Google does with data has nothing to do with what data Android collects out of the box, which I have demonstrated (and you have not refuted) is less than what iOS collects. You can just as easily send your location, email, and search data to Google on iOS as you can on Android. The difference is that on Android, it is possible (even easy) to choose not to send data to Google or Apple.

> If you actually cared about this stuff, you'd be applauding Apple.

If you actually cared about privacy, you would be damning Apple for handing over the iCloud keys for Chinese users' data to the PRC allowing the PRC to implement dragnet surveillance on iCloud documents, iCloud email, iMessages, etc. to find and disappear dissidents. This is worse than anything Google or even Facebook has done by a stupendous margin.

> iMessage is E2E encrypted.

Since Apple controls the keyserver, Apple has the ability to wiretap any iMessage conversation (https://blog.quarkslab.com/imessage-privacy.html). Since China controls the keyserver inside the great firewall, China has the ability to wiretap any conversation that occurs with at least one user in China. Compare to Android, where you can set Signal as your default SMS handler. One pretends to support privacy, while the other actually does.

> Apple Maps doesn't know who you are.

But it does know where you are and every address link you click on. From there, you are very easy to deanonymize. Compare to Android, which lets you run fully offline mapping applications and set them as the default address handler. Apple's apps are systematically both less useful than alternatives and less private than other alternatives. The only thing that saves them is slick marketing.
In my experience no human is ok with being socially isolated for a long period of time. But difficulty with forming healthy social relationships makes the experience of attempting to "warm up" to others very unpleasant to people who don't get social exposure to begin with. Especially for anyone that performs extensive introspection it is very difficult and the experience can be interpreted as unhappiness.

I think maybe being with others is most pleasant when one has a healthy relationship with one's self.

It's a standard part of artist training to copy paintings by hand, infringing copyright. Never to the best of my knowledge has this been used to argue that a picture with no visible elements of another infringes. If these infringe, where is the similarity?

It's probably just as easy to say that funding comes from the war economy rather than research. However, I am also not entirely surprised that it's the high levels of funding combined with the adversarial nature of war that pushes the envelope of things getting bigger, smaller, faster, higher, etc.

However, while we do see this trickle back into civilian life, I imagine that if funding were directed towards solving civil needs instead (housing, food, water, environmental contamination, energy, community centers, schools, etc) we'd see very different things produced, and often more well suited for peaceful purposes.
I like k8s but this is way too optimistic.

I regularly run long-standing 20+ instance clusters using boto, pip, and a few hundred lines of python scripts. People have been doing some version of this for ~15 years.

K8s adds a lot of conceptual overhead on top of "just write a sysadmin script". It is absolutely not necessary to have an orchestration system as soon as you're past one instance.

An MVP, and the use of the acronym in SV culture, is largely an intentionally mislabeled theory that conveniently coattails a well marketed buzzword.

What is actually meant here, is build a minimum viable presentation. It doesn’t have to be a “product”, it’s something that adequately demonstrates your idea enough to garner quantitative validation from your target customer.

Maybe that’s a landing page, maybe it’s a video. What it’s not, is months of time and money sunk into creating comprehensive function before you’ve validated value in that function.

True, and an interesting philosophical question.

However, it is not a standard part of artist training to obtain and redistribute, without license, the (in this case millions) of paintings they studied.

> Never to the best of my knowledge has this been used to argue that a picture with no visible elements of another infringes.

One only needs to look as far back as 2013, in Williams v. Bridgeport Music, to find such a thing not merely argued, but successfully litigated. In this case, the estate of Marvin Gaye alleged that Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" copied the 'feel' and 'sound' of "Got to Give It Up" despite containing no samples or even an identical chord progression.

Perhaps more surprising to you will be the fact that the court found in favor of Gaye's estate, i.e. that "Blurred Lines" was infringing!

A not-insubstantial factor in reaching this decision was, as I alluded to above, the attitude of the defendant regarding the infringement. Thicke testified "No" when asked if he considered himself an honest person, and admitted that "Got to Give It Up" was a direct inspiration for the song.

It would be difficult to argue that the data used to create your ML was anything BUT its explicit inspiration, and as I've mentioned in other posts, this is compounded by the fact that the acquiring the initial dataset is itself a separate and very clear-cut case of copyright infringement.

In the interest of good discourse, do note that many legal scholars and industry experts were, admittedly, shocked by the decision and decry it as fundamentally mistaken. Nevertheless it is now certainly precedential caselaw.
Sure, but in the case of the copyrighted work, we're talking about a specific combination and sequence of numbers which represent that 2-D image. The numbers here representing the weights that make up the model have nothing to do with those.
Yes. But cs degrees are not about learning coding. We have coding schools for that. It’s about learning the intersection of computing and math. But having science in the name sounds cooler so people take that instead.
