An idea I carried over from mechanical engineering is the idea of degrees of freedom. If your solution has fewer degrees of freedom than the problem, it doesn't work. If it has too many it's unconstrained and requires hacks to keep it from doing something terrible.
Even before streaming music, I don’t think many people listened to whole albums. I distributed a lot of custom CDs to people in high school because they wanted various singles off of different CDs and I had access to a CD burner and could rip and record them in custom mixes.

I personally find it too tedious to even work out the lyrics of the song because most of the time I can’t figure out what the singer is saying, or whatever cryptic message it is. I just listen for the sounds, mostly, and that scratches my itch sufficiently to not make it worth my while to look more into it. But I can understand if some people do have an interest in it.

Microsoft might want to get rid of the advertizing businesses (like Bing) and merging Bing with Tiktok would create a mini Google-Youtube spinoff that would be very hot.
Build and abandon makes total sense for Google. They are participating in an IP land rush. Expect this to accelerate.

The engineers that Google hires to keep them from working for competitors are used to build as many new products and features as possible. Abandoned products are assets in Google's IP portfolio and continue to protect them against competing products and features long after Google has closed the door.

"Building" for the latest process and large volumes is another story, but as far as I can see, large scale logic design is something not _that_ far away from software. Large scale, open source, and performant software designs exist in the wild. (see Linux, llvm, ...)

Why wouldn't we get a logic netlist which could perform reasonably well when placed on silicon by people who know what they are doing? (Yeah, lots of handwave.) I'm asking this out of curiosity. Not an expert in the field by any means.
What's artificial about fraud protection that doesn't depend on a pin?

A pin verifies the bearer, systems that don't require them evaluate each transaction. It's not like US merchants are all choosing to stop accepting credit cards, so fraud probably isn't that big a problem.

> In the days leading up to Wednesday’s attack on Twitter, there were signs that some actors in the SIM swapping community were selling the ability to change an email address tied to any Twitter account. In a post on OGusers — a forum dedicated to account hijacking — a user named “Chaewon” advertised they could change email address tied to any Twitter account for $250, and provide direct access to accounts for between $2,000 and $3,000 apiece.

App Store is a two-sided market, which is known to persist even after it is extremely bad. Users go where apps are, and app publishers go where users are. The circular dependency can be broken by movement en messe, but that doesn't necessarily happen even if the situation is terrible.

They engaged in straight up fraud! It's not like they just pranked some folks, they tried to fool the world into sending them money. It's true the fraud didn't work that well (or rather, not in relation to the severity of the Twitter hack), but they still stole some $100kUS or whatever.

If you entrust a bank with 10 thousand dollars, and the bank puts your money in a paper bag and leaves it in the lobby, they are going to be held liable if someone walks away with it. Twitter letting teenagers steal people's data is approaching that level of negligence for a mutli-billion dollar company.

Facebook is getting grown out of. The younger ones hardly see FB as the hip thing.

And, FB has morphed into more than just a way to meet friends. It has become the town square for the village idiot to shout at the top of his lungs as to how UFOs are implanting DNA into the cattle.
I'm pretty introverted and generally dislike (in a passive this person will probably not be a new close friend type of way) most people I meet. I've still managed to develop a handful of close relationships over the years. Even the ones I fucked up I can still reach out to and get a response if I need it.

Will everyone of them always be able to be there for me? No. But I'm not always there for all of them. My brothers about the only one I assume I could talk to about anything anytime. But just because other are not available to me during tough times doesnt mean I don't have a close relationship with them.
I certainly would not want to bet on it, but adding the ability to perform computation and access storage could take 10 years.

Right now, GPT-3 "sees" 2048 tokens, does a forward pass, and outputs the next word. We would like to to be able to say "hold on while I think for a while" but how to do that with current gradient-based deep learning methods is unclear.
It's a lot easier to notice logical mistakes in already written text, than it is to avoid making them in the first place. When you write text do you write it in one pass or do you read yourself and fix mistakes, reformulate sentences etc.? I have reformulated this piece of text at least once in order to make my argument clear.

That's the difference between GPT and BERT. GPT can only attend to the past outputs, while BERT one can attend also to the future outputs.

Now imagine that what you are going to say is not actually determined by you, but it is sampled randomly from what seems like a reasonable thing to say. This is how GPT-3 works. If somebody ask you some kind of question you can guess 70% yes or 30% no, then roll a 10 side dice to pick one, but once you pick there is no way back.

And I already mentioned that it does not address agency, grounding and multi-modality, but it could improve GPT ability to formulate coherent arguments, follow instructions, write mathematical proofs and computer programs or play games.

BTW - I actually have implemented it and it works quite reasonably.

Here are samples from GPT-2 small and GPT-2 small + RoBERTa adversarial decoder.

> It would help address the spyware concern by moving it to a US company

Does anyone else remember when housing data in US severs was considered less private than alternatives? It’s incredible that Azure, and the rest of the us based cloud providers, have been able to rebrand American severs as the cloud so successfully that they are well known for being secure and safe.
I find that in software, it's much easier to anticipate change. Companies are more open about their future plans and long-term goals. For example, GitHub just publicized their roadmap. This entire website is predicated on the fact that people like to share their latest ideas, inventions, and solutions to problems that everyone faces.

I've never seen Universal Music post their "roadmap" of how they plan to sign new artists, or what new social media marketing ideas they might have up their sleeve. This is because the music industry is, by far, more competitive than the tech industry. Record labels, publishing groups, etc. are not very willing to share their "trade secrets". If the tech industry was like the music industry, there would be absolutely no such thing as open source.

Also...

Revenge would be if you used your newfound position of power to actively hurt them in some way.

There is much irony here. If you went ahead and hurt those who hurt you, they are supposed to let go, they are supposed to take the high ground and forgive you! So go ahead, rape, steal, murder and pillage, society will be you your side.

We don't get very far if we confuse forgiveness with letting go. It's a dangerous notion that only enables and empowers bullies.

"No one is forcing any company to publish into the App Store."

Yes Apple is, there is no alternative to the App Store on an iPhone.
I can agree with that to a degree. Of course, the gut reaction to any statement is typically the more emotional one. :)

However, I find that they didn't really make a statement about how they view art, although elaboration would help. I think people are confusing things being artistic versus being aesthetic. When people say "code absolutely can be art", I find it's too generic that it does indeed become a silly statement. It dilutes what art is and is overly biased to code, especially since it's likely to be coming from a software developer.

What I really think someone means by "code can be art" is that "code can be aesthetically pleasing", the latter of which I agree with. There's also a difference between "<some thing> as an art" as in doing the thing can be an art or craft and also calling the thing art.
Something like that (USB exploit of Windows zero days, breaching an airgap). (Edit: though not by leaving flash drives outside of the facilities, by infecting some with a virus that spread from Windows PC to Windows PC around the world.)
OOP is basically a blank canvas. It is always up to the artist to bring structure and reason to it. There is never one perfect answer for every case.

That said, there are some general policies that seem to make sense, namely the alignment of your object models with the shape of the business problem you are trying to solve. Perhaps your problem domain has the idea of a Customer, but there are really 3 flavors of customer. Many developers would automatically do base/derived here, but in some cases it makes sense to have these as entirely distinct types. Making this determination one way or another is at the very core of the art of software engineering. These decisions have higher order impacts that are impossible to anticipate or understand until you personally go through hell a few times.

Proper management of state is another major concern. In context of OOP, I find it best to centralize state along independent verticals of business functionality. Models like CustomerCheckoutState, UserSignupState, etc. When you centralize all of the state you wish to mutate as part of one business activity into one object instance, it becomes really easy to manage. E.g. serialize your state to database and back every time the user takes an action. You can also leverage the scoped injection functionality available in many DI frameworks to pass a per-user-action state instance into all relevant business services and UI components.

If you can keep your business fact modeling & stateful domains under control, the rest will likely fall into place.
I can see one avenue in which GPT-3 might be quite disruptive, and that is in reinventing our software development processes. For example, if it can be purposed into something that reliably converts source code between programming languages, then there is no longer any moat in library code and bindings beyond the prompt development; PL development will accordingly accelerate. And the same goes for tasks like developing tests, static checks, optimizations, user interfaces, import/export and so forth.

In this scenario, software itself commoditizes to a greater degree. Perhaps not to the point where the AI is a Star Trek computer, but transitionally towards that. And that means that software businesses increasingly become commission shops that pump out AI-built programs on demand, while software services built on platform lock-in get threatened by cheap data export and format conversion tools.
That attitude is exactly the problem though. These kids getting hit with a 30 year sentence bothers those of us who relate, when the same thing happens to young black inner city kids every day.

>The amount Spotify/Pandora/et al pay the majority of musicians per stream is far more than they'd make selling CD's.

You have to back such claims with data.
The market does not necessarily optimize for hardest sacrifice or how much energy it takes to make something. It optimizes utility and in some cases scarcity. In other words, there are many situations where how hard something is to make is not that important, what is important is the utility of the final product.
If you're running a brick and mortar book store, payroll would unlikely be 70%. Payroll would be your highest cost but it should be 30% on the high end.

If we want to try and analyze this, we should analyze what music distribution was like prior to digital. My guess is that for most artist who went through traditional publishing and distribution, they only received 10-20% per album sale. That seems high too.

For the most part, the output object/exe size should be the realm of the tooling, not the programmer's concern -- a dependency-walking package-manager, linker or loader -- and in dynamic languages, unused code should never be JITed. Of course, surrounding issues such as choosing bad or incompatible libraries, etc., is another matter.

Transactions are not reversible by legal authority in bitcoin, only by the receiving party willingly doing the transaction in reverse.

What you are talking about is establishing reputability, not about refund-ability or the ability of authorities to reverse illicit transactions. You can see that as a feature of bitcoin or not, but if you want protections from a system you need to act within that system.

> Does anyone know a good license for that?

The "that" in question was "copyleft if your project is open, pay us if your project isn't open". For that, try the AGPL or GPL, depending on your use case and customers, and then sell alternate licenses for people who don't want to make their own code open.

There were also I.M. Pei's pyramids in Somers which led to some really ridiculous triangular rooms in the corners. The IBM building at 590 Madison is also quite striking architecturally.

The conference center in the Palisades in NY was also quite striking. Not so much because of specific architectural features but of how it blended into the landscape and was populated with all sorts of old IBM equipment as displays. (It was also populated with Token Ring long after that went non-mainstream with the result that the rooms had signs warning you not to plug in your Ethernet jacks or your network connection would be fried.)

> An album is a collection of single songs.

I don't see the lie here. :)

Many of us in the music industry have been doing more single-based releases than album-based, because there really is no point to albums anymore. If you have a couple of tracks that all fit together, by all means, release them at once. But music isn't album-driven anymore, it's track-driven, and has been for a very long time.
