> But it's also not exactly just a database. It contains contextual relationships as seen with things like GPT that are beyond what a typical database implementation would be capable of.

You mean in the same way that google.com isn't "just a database"?

If Copilot isn't intelligent, then what makes it more special than a search engine? How is Copilot not just Limewire but for code?

I could understand the argument that, if Copilot really is intelligent or sentient or something like that, then what it is producing is as original as what a human can produce (although, humans still have to respect copyright laws). However, I haven't seen anyone even attempt to make a serious argument like that.

Netcat is seriously awesome, and still exists very much under the radar of a lot of people. I've used to to copy files around the planet, the datacenter, and the lab.

It excels at doing things "right now". If I have a terminal window open on a server in France and one in the US; then I can easily move that file. However, If I have to move my body to the target location before I can copy the file it doesn't work as well. (Need to jump through a few other hoops that make it more challenging.)

Protip: ALWAYS grab the hash of the file before you send it, and compare.

2nd Protip: Encrypt your file(s) before you send them.

Something like this is decent for moving a file at your leisure, or to give a copy to somebody else at their leisure.
It sounds like any Internet use by children in schools would be a legal issue, then. If IP addresses are considered personally identifiable information subject to consent policies, then ordinary web logging is data collection that a child can not consent to.

A more direct example would be in Chrome/Firefox/etc automatically checking for updates, which is the equivalent of what Audacity describes in the linked post.
I find twitter really good for staying abreast of local emergencies. Fire in the area, road closed etc. All the EMS are on it and post near real time updates when stuff is going on.
Python 2 let you put a u in front of a string literal to make it unicode. Python 3 made it a syntax error at first. Python 3.3 restored it so people could write code compatible with 2 and 3 without importing unicode_literals.
Yes, after their executive team left. And why did you expect to hear about it? Do you work in financial services? Most of these stories don't appear in newspapers because the public isn't that interested in the implementation of financial regulation (in this case though, there was actually an op-ed in the Telegraph from one of the Chairman who was forced out which basically made explicit what they were reported to have said to the BoE).
No one expects the science to be of practical value, but the development of the technology and engineering practices needed to perform the science may have many applications elsewhere.

It really depends on what you need.

There are lots of non-FOSS but effectively-free alternatives. Ocenaudio is way better than Audacity in gobs of ways, except it's not multi-track. Reaper is pretty great but if you're hoping for commercial use with $20K+ gross/year, you need to pay $200+ USD.

In FOSS land, Zrhythm, Qtractor, LMMS...but these are DAWs so again it depends on what you were using Audacity for. You could even learn sox and maybe benefit from some command line use, like writing scripts for things you need to do all the time.

My advice: List the specific tasks you need to do, and aim to find 2-3 apps that will fill the gap. Then any extras on top of that will be gravy.

Edit: Oh and you can also use FOSS like Blender and render edited sound to mp3, or KDEnlive, or other software that's video or animation related. So if you already know those tools, or like how they work (in some ways they are pretty slick!) then they may fit better than other audio-only software.
It's not so much the internet as it is websites with voting and “like” systems.

I notice it too on H.N.; it would not surprise me if 75% of votes on posts come from 25% of users, if not more extreme.

The people that vote on posts, not the people that comment, dictate what becomes visible, and it stands to reason that the former group is considerably less prudent and more prone to impulsive angry decisions than the latter.

I've certainly noticed quite a bit on H.N., and even more so on Reddit that upvoted threads with sensationalist headlines are more heavily scrutinized in the comments for being misleading.
Unless you're the bank yourself. But they don't do stuff like, that, right? Right?

The obvious answer here is that it's not up to the bank to enforce the law. They should not intentionally assist you in breaking the law, but neither should they go out of their way to discover or prevent it. How customers spend their money is none of the bank's business but if law enforcement shows up to investigate someone then they should cooperate.
When you say "central thesis" and "confounds" it sounds like you think this is a piece where the author is setting out to prove something. What, though?

It seems to me this is an exploration that's meant to be helpful to people who relate to what the author describes. That description doesn't need to reflect a well-defined category in order to be useful. Useful things don't even need to be true much less well-proven.

Rationality is great, but you're demanding a piece that isn't making a rational argument do so. Again, though, it's a personal essay – an exploration more than an argument.
Look into HIIT. High intensity interval training. Very tiring but without much time commitment.

The idea isn’t so much to get tired once and then recover, but to consistently push your body so that you are tired and sleep well. This means lifting weights 3/4 times a week, running HIIT, rowing, etc. Not just a long bike ride for a few hours. It’s not something that will fix your issues overnight.
Thanks for posting this. As someone who was almost religiously excited about GPT3 then progressively more annoyed that I could never get access to the point of giving up this is wonderful news. Your blog post is an invaluable starting point. Seriously thanks
There’s usually some way to target what you want through descendent/sibling, tag name, and attribute selectors.
I never found the appeal. If something important is posted, it'll be picked up by everyone, otherwise it's 99% likely noise, and not even the interesting kind.
I think it’s space (the receiver is bulky and difficult to place), and looks — it’s common for one member of a household to be enthusiastic about sound and messing with wires, and for another to be enthusiastic about interior design.

I hope people are not as helpless with technology as you think. Also, you can pay someone to deal with wires.
I like to think that whatever happens here is insignificant in the big picture, and that's why bad things happen and divine intervention doesn't routinely occur.

I can't explain why its insignificant, of course. It's like a hydrocarbon combusting in your car engine, and the rest of the little molecules wondering what kind of a monster could do that to them. We humans aren't even aware that it could be a problem.
Unless Tesla continues to use the crutch that FSD is driver assist and you’re still responsible for the vehicle at all times, which is a reasonable path for them to take.

“The car drives itself, but you’re still liable. Press accept to continue.” I tell you what, everyone is going to hit accept all day long like an iTunes agreement.
Given that the context here is “a producer of something setting the terms under which they’ll give it to somebody else”, my grocery store hardly sounds like an extreme example.
Taking a step back, do we really _need_ to check news every day? I read The Economist which is weekly, and I haven't felt like I'm uninformed much.
The definition of a "derivative work" as stated is correct.

The copyright status of a derivative work is a separate issue: A derivative work can be considered infringing, and a derivative work can be considered non-infringing (ie. due to Fair Use).
Yes, I am. And this project is obviously not designed to handle that. (It can't even do pagination.)

But it can bring feed capabilities to simple, timeline like sites. Sites like most frameworks produce. And with the dev tools you can quickly find the needed dom path. It's limited, but easy to use. If it doesn't work, you need a real scraper which is an order of magnitude more complex. (I maintain some of them as well.)
Thanks, I've sent you an email.
These hydrogen cells is just the oil and gas industry trying to stay relevant: they can modify their processes to produce hydrogen, but they can't produce lithium.
I can't believe you've managed to fit so many wrong things into a short post. Do you often make comments about things you have no clue about with such confidence?

At least this will be a good litmus test for community moderation.
Besides my personal account which I rarely use, I collaborate on another account that is mostly write-only, to be honest.

Social media is good if you want to spread a message and reach other interested people. It is also good to find interesting stuff as a distraction.

Social networks used to be good to represent yourself, to keep contact with friends, and to meet new real people around you. It's really sad nothing like that exists anymore.

Your assuming they are suddenly going to massively ramp up construction of coal power plants in a few years based on what?

Flip it around, does the US get a pass because they had a lot of really old coal power plants? In the last decade the US built a lot of Natural Gas power plants which sure isn’t as bad as coal, but they are hardly green. We’re falling behind on solar adoption, and wind is only slightly ahead of the global average.

Massive infrastructure changes take decades and we have arguably stagnated.
One big difference is that the human will (... hopefully) never be considered themselves a derivative work, whereas there seems to be a case to be made that the model is.
Out of couriosity, with all the attempts to create a "healthy" social network, has anyone attempted to build one that has a defined downtime for the entire network? (I'm thinking at least a consecutive week each month, possibly more)

After all, a large part of "withdrawal" seems to be FOMO, i.e. the feeling that everyone else is having the time of their life while you are missing out. However, if you can be sure nothing is happening because the network is shut down, FOMO might be greatly reduced.

It does reflect reality, as evidenced by what’s about to happen for Audacity: if they keep the terms as-is, people will either use the software as the terms are written or they’ll stop using it.

As an example, UK schools are likely to have to either negotiate an alternate license or switch products.

What’s been “debunked” is that products die off because of things like adding telemetry, because plenty of people don’t consider that a dealbreaker
Yes. A lot of JS Twitter is extremely toxic.
> Apple doing the right thing is costing them money

Oh, Apple is working a profit angle with its "privacy" focus. I have an old iPad Retina that cannot browse many websites such as Reddit anymore because:

(1.) Apple doesn't update Safari on old devices

(2.) Apple doesn't allow non-Safari engine browsers

Apple's excuse for not allowing you to install Firefox and for maintaining its tight App store control is "privacy." So Apple can turn your $699 iPad 3rd gen into a paperweight even if its almost-unreplaceable battery hasn't worn out yet.
I get the feeling that the community has had enough of the corporate shenanigans, that a proper fork is about to go alive any day now.
It was Python 3.3. 4 years into what started as a 7 year plan.
Meanwhile, those who have had the pleasure of begging for bank statements with the 'contra' entries [who the money came from/went to] that allow investigators to follow the money trail, have, almost to a man, concluded that they must be in on the crime.
Asserting it doesn't make it so.
I hear your rationale to flip the rating for novice-reflective and expert-prescriptive advisors. In fact that’s how I started putting the framework together.

However after talking to a few founders and reflecting on my own experiences I felt there is more value in having an expert in the domain - considering the benefit of contextual stories you get to hear from them on how they handled similar situations. I just feel the merit of this experience though from a prescriptive advisor wins narrowly over the merits of being with a novice advisor even if the person has a reflective method. But I can imagine situations that warrant a scoring like what you suggested. I just hope people who read this note can try and be aware of these aspects to enrich their intuition when choosing advisors.
Impressive work. I finally managed to add it to NLPCloud.io with Transformers but it takes 40GB of memory to startup, and then a 16GB GPU is not enough unfortunately, which makes it quite costly to run it.
But text generation is really impressive, great job!
Yes, even JS Twitter is extremely toxic by my definition. But more importantly there is no group of people you can follow to keep the ratio of JS related content above even 10%. It’s not a reasonable way of following a topic.
I believe Switzerland has been regarded a tax haven for many years, allowing financial institutions to do business in ways that might be considered unscrupulous otherwise. It is up to argument whether this is good or bad for society (personally I veer towards bad, but that's because I'm not on the winning side and it's a way for the extremely rich to evade taxes).

I also know of several seed boxes to have servers in Switzerland, but my knowledge in both of these matters is rather dated. If somebody else has updated info on these matters I'd love to learn more.

I'm talking mostly abour scaling things like app servers where they might not need any communication.

But in general if you can't scale horizontally at 10 gbps, you're in for a world of hurt. Numa gets you to 8x scale at best on very expensive very exotic hardware. And then you hit the wall.
Ships transiting the canal are required to have an Egyptian pilot on the bridge. Why isn't it more correct to say that that pilot blocked the canal using the ship?

I know these hosted git services:

I tried them both, the second one has many interesting features.
FSD is going to need more than just automakers - it will need roadbuilders.

Specifically, building the roads, signs, and traffic lights to be machine-readable, not just human readable.

Imagine if we could recreate the road network in software, with realtime status of traffic lights. There would be much less reliance on cameras and image recognition.

This probably already occurs in some control centre somewhere, it just needs to be made available over the air for vehicles to access.
Tesla can defend themselves longer than most will remain solvent ($20B cash equivalents on hand), and I don’t see any case law where driver assist places liability on the manufacturer when it’s clearly communicated the driver is still the final authority (even with Subaru and Cadillac lane assist similar to Tesla).

This isn’t supporting Tesla, just an observation of the judicial and regulatory landscape. NHTSA and the states are still allowing end users to run Full Self Driving revisions as we speak. Until a regulator issues a directive or a court an injunction, Tesla will continue in this fashion. Court cases can take years to resolve.

Maybe I’ll fork out for an attorney opinion letter on self driving assist feature liability and post it for funsies. Will report back if I do!
That is not my understanding of the ethical dilemma. People are different, and belonging to groups is highly predictive, and that is what ML algorithms depend upon to classify you (every feature is a group).
The ethical dilemma is, should you be doomed to be assessed based on your belonging to an arbitrary set of groups? It is highly predictive, but also by definition, discriminatory.

Business entities benefit, because on average the predictions are right, but individuals are being discriminated against, and btw, besides the protected categories, other types of discrimination are also unfair.
I guess the author was kept around by the need to comment and interact. Seems like an aspect that I don't hear about to much. Usually people seem to talk about scrolling, consuming and time wasting on these sites. I can kind of relate to this behavior.(even here I'm commenting, sharing my pointless thoughts lol)

I guess she just has a need and strong desire to share thoughts and write them down. Considering she seems to be enough of an author to be published writing is something she likes to do. Twitter would be another outlet for that. Is that so bad, as long as its not interfering with the rest of her life. Seems like she still is writing long articles regularly.

I feel like i got wrapped up in the need to comment too. I did do some similar experiments on my self. The trigger for this was political stuff. A little more drastically i went and deleted my twitter account, to my surprise the account is actually fully gone after 30 days. I never felt like putting the effort to get an account back so that habit is pretty much gone. Facebook doesn't have much of a network for me anymore, feels like its dying so it doesn't get much use from me except for linking with instagram. Instagram i only use as a photo sharing place and to see artwork, not really a commenter there. Disconnecting from reddit was interesting, i found my self still wanting to comment, and make throwaway jokes. Nothing thoughtful, dumb shit i thought would be funny. Sometimes I would see a small comment suggesting something wrong and wanted to them know. It feels like weird behavior.

Overall i guess i wonder why we make comments, like what drives this behavior. Then why most other people don't participate. I think only 1% or something of an online community actually contribute. These comments seem to be somewhere between actually sharing thoughts and socializing but not quite either.
As long as you want the wealthy to make the decisions while getting more wealthy in the process, sure.
This is pretty much Kinesis Data Analytics lol
The legal commentary I'm seeing from people who really know this stuff is pretty much unanimously in favor of this being legal in at least most of the world based on caselaw--while acknowledging why some might have ethical concerns.

I'm actually sort of curious as to the vigor of the backlash. Because Microsoft? Because of concerns about perceived further undermining of the GPL in particular? Because of people anxious to get their credit? Because...?
Is there a non-PDF version?
So stockfish has long been superhuman strength, but there are kind of two separate reasons for it

1. Tactics - in middle game there are a lot of possible variations and humans are bad at looking at all the possibilities so they blunder some tactic (eg some move order combination of under 10 moves that leads to a mating attack or significant material advantage). This alone is close to enough to be superhuman.

2. Long term advantage building — a move order that has no clear tactical advantage but puts the player into a better position many moves into the future. This is something that old fashion chess engines used to need very high depth but with nnue stockfish started selecting these kind of move orders even at low depths.

Variations of type 2 are more interesting to people because this is something we can try to learn from and infer general rules (eg instigating with flank pawns without immediate conversion of the attack became more common after alphazero used this in many games to get long term advantage).

At the same time most people analyze their games in browser running on their laptop/mobile device (since most games happen on chess.com or lichess.org) so really they only get low depth stockfish variations.

Without strong ability in (2) it can be hard to interpret SF generated variations since it is still superhuman (eg it will beat a human from a given position) but it sometimes makes moves that are probably suboptimal (because there are no immediate tactics available). But you can’t really tell if a variation is because sf doesn’t know what to do or because there is some hidden tactic/etc. The normal “solution” is if you suspect the position is pivotal to just calculate to very high depth. But that takes time and not something an average player will do.
How would you know though? Telemetry is so common in desktop and web apps alike that you're probably surrounded by it.

They did not copy the implementation, they copied the general idea of what the algorithm should do.

Do not go down this line of reasoning, otherwise we will be copyrighting the concept of for loops.

It applies to most engineering, or scientific fields. Develop, discover, once. Maintain or improve forever.

I wonder if this is what the folks on the Copilot team thought, shortly after cloning all those licensed repos to their machines.

If you’re not concerned with the licensing on software once you’ve managed to get a copy, I guess Audacity’s behavior shouldn’t be an issue: just compel it to behave differently on your machine.
