My point was the single function devices had no way of getting permission outside their function. As things converge, this becomes a problem. And unless you are going to force some permissions to be exclusive of others... you have a trap.

I should say I will be delighted to be proven wrong. If things really become more secure, that can only be good. My assertion is still that this is largely a non technological problem, and throwing more technology at will only make it different, at best.

What society wants from Academia isn't something you can grind for. Ground breaking research and great education isn't something that comes from working 80 hours a week (most of the time). I'd also suspect that the vast majority of effort in academia is dedicated to simply pleasing the whims of those with power/funding.

A union might increase productivity by both

a) De-stressing those who are actually doing the work of academia. Ensuring that they are financially taken care including living wages, sustainable working hours, and stable employment.

b) Reducing the need/available time for academic make-work.

c) Negotiating with funding bodies to correct lop-sided funding policies where students are funded but researchers are not.*

I'm trying not to show my ignorance by saying something terribly wrong, but my sense is that the patent system works better in pharma than in software. Pharma companies don't need to patent algorithms, but—this is where I hope I'm not saying something wrong—I think they can patent e.g. molecules?

Certainly, the first company to the market with a drug is usually rewarded pretty heavily, until generics come online 20 years later.
Except withholding research work also means ceasing degree progress in practice. For some types of work it could mean setting degree progress back months - experiments can be very time sensitive in some fields, and thesis committee will often require certain experiments to graduate.

I think the headline and even the article aren't quite clear about the core restriction: "A.I. art that's claimed to have been created with no human creative input". Lots of "AI art" gets copyrights protection by framing it as the "AI" being a tool used by a human artist, the key point here is that the submitter insisted he didn't have any contribution and was merely submitting it on behalf of the "AI" who is the sole creator. That's what's being rejected by the Copyright Office.

I think that would actually be a good field for machine learning: To separate sound-alikes from copycats.

It always bothers me that these claims are often about a simple melody, while arrangements or rhythm patterns seem to be fair game - if I would use the drum patterns of "Smells like teen spirit" in my song I don't think Grohl could claim anything. But if I would go "Coding in my Pyjamas" with the melody of "Living on a Prayer" I'd have Bon Jovi's lawyers in my mailbox in a heartbeat.

But that being said, I think the copyright overall should be a lot more relaxed with a lot more leeway for creatives because the status quo is just ridiculous.

> negligible externalities.

I hate this trend of downplaying how harsh the lockdowns were, even in Western countries. If you think they were worth it because you personally put a high importance on longevity, fine, that’s a legitimate policy position (though I disagree with it). But what happened in Spain and Italy was a catastrophic disruption to normal life by any reasonable standard.

It's a fallacy to believe that intelligence or competency in one field translates to competency in all fields.

> I find it quite baffling considering the very strong importance of personal liberties in the US.

It's because in the US the thinking regarding such things seems to revolve around rights and never mentions duties. In Europe we tend to view our duties to our children differently.

In my view one cannot have liberty without duty. That is to say, there is no such thing as perfect liberty.

I think it's a bit much to call this sabotage. It's not as if this opensource node-library is fulfilling a crucial role in Russia's war efforts.

Using this reasoning you could argue that any negative comments about the war towards a russian could be construed as sabotage, because it goes against Russian war-propaganda.

I do like Szechuan food. Most of it that I can get, though, is accompanied with capsaicin, as well.

This is basically the trap of what spicy means. There are other spices than chili peppers, true. But if I say I'm getting spicy food, I'd wager most folks don't think of seasoned foods.

Edit: easy way to consider it. Spiced rum is not considered spicy. Nor is KFC, even though it famously has spices.
> no government, no power can stop an angry population

There are plenty of examples of the government doing just that in China. Boxer, taiping, 8 trigrams rebellions, etc, and those are just a few recent historical examples.

In a country as large as China, you need substantial support from sympathetic government insiders if the angry population is even remotely regionally located. Uniting a billion people is an extremely high bar if that is your goal.
Models are not in a vacuum, their outputs are selected and guided by humans (here captions). The human can have the deeper understand while the model has specific understanding on styles for example.
This is incredibly judgmental, especially in a society that doesn’t enable people to “live for” their children. Kids are easy to love; the logistics of parenting are super challenging. Kudos to anyone who goes down this path and keeps finding their balance, whatever that may look like.
A big reason they charge tuition and then credit it is because it leads to more grants. There's a bunch of bizarre accounting between schools/departments/labs behind all this, but at the core my school "charges" tuition, then my department immediately "credits" the tution using NIH training grant money awarded to my program.
I'm confused. There are terms for what you are describing. If the relationship is also sexual then you're friends with benefits. If it is not than you are friends/roommates.

I guess its a bit strange to say, "They are not my girlfriend, we're friends with benefits" but if your goal isnt to lie then... That comes with a price of being awkward at times. Like OP's example of when their sig other asks if X looks good on them.

The honest answer is not always the easiest one.

This is still a huge problem today because at a certain level most people's benefit proposition switches from the pursuit of discovery to maintenance of the status quo.

Business nod deemed critical were forced to shut down, with no warning or recompense to their owners. Many of them went bankrupt, were forced to lay off all of their employees, and cancel contracts with customers.

>Ground breaking research and great education isn't something that comes from working 80 hours a week (most of the time).

is there much evidence for this claim? If one takes a look at the habits and biographies of groundbreaking researchers they all have one thing in common, they have dedicated virtually their entire time to work.

Looking at countries with exceptional educational outcomes broadly you see the same thing, time and resources spent on tutoring and schooling is extremely high.
Starvation starts long before death by starvation occurs.
It's true that professors rely on grad students/postdocs to do work. And, at least in my experience, advisors are actually pretty good about giving students credit for their work -- having successful students reflects well on the advisor. But a student is even more dependent on their advisor than vice versa. It's not like undergrad where the main thing that matters to your future employment is to collect the diploma, because for most fields the main reason to get a PhD is to continue in academia, and academia right now is an extreme employer's market. The things you need to leave grad school with are 1) impressive recommendation letters, like "best student in N years, reminiscent of <mid-career hotshot> at that age", and 2) (lots of) refereed publications. If you manage that, the diploma should be automatic.

Yes, you can push back against advisors who require 12 hrs a day in lab. But if that means you take longer to produce work, your letters might be just good instead of positively glowing, which might mean you fail to launch in academia. Several hundred other people will apply for each tenure track job you apply to; those with "just good" letters tend to get crowded out. The tenured advisor might have a bruised ego because their publication rate has slowed, or be more frazzled because they have to save money and write more proposals, but at least they still have a job.

Also, PIs themselves generally work a lot as well (often the ones insisting on lots of hours from their students think, rightly or wrongly but based on their own experience, that that's the only way to succeed....). I agree academia is broken, but think it's at a deep structural level, and more complicated than schools exploiting students and hanging them out to dry.
It's not about autonomy in an abstract sense. It's the fact that regular people can customize, hack, modify, automate, and otherwise program the spreadsheet. Data analysts and managers are more than trained monkeys; they actually need to do those kinds of things (at least sometimes) in order to do their jobs.

I agree that the ideal world is one where you can connect the spreadsheets to other data sources, so you get the best of both.
UW Madison teaching assistants were represented by a union [1,2] between 1970 and 2011, when its status was abruptly terminated by conservative political forces in Wisconsin. When the union was active, it was pretty clear that negotiating was not its strength, but the union was always available to help people navigate day-to-day problems that come up. Maybe it is just coincidence, but multiple independent accounts detailing toxic work environments within UW have been reported in recent years.

I think it's as much a show of force and power by the CCP as anything. They will even shut down one of their largest and most prosperous cities on a whim if it suits their goals. Starving people and shutdown productivity do not matter in the face of what the CCP wills to happen. It's as much a warning and shot across the bow as anything.
Just curious -- why be so dismissive and snarky? At the very least, it's an interesting discussion to have, and one you clearly have an opinion about.

> Hint: it isn't

For what it's worth, I think it is, but it's obviously subjective. The modern kitchen aesthetic looks alien, sterile, and uninviting in contrast to the Laquy painting, which looks lived in and homely. In short, the modern kitchen image makes me feel uneasy and the painting makes me feel calm.
Unionization usually works when:

1) the workers in question are not easily replaced (for example, specialized skills or long training period before they become productive)

2) the workers in question are not easily able to switch employers, so they need the protection of a union (instead of just switching employers whenever they are unhappy, such that they are normally happy)

There are lots of professions which either do not meet condition 1 or do not meet condition 2. However, grad students would seem to be a classic example of a group ripe for unionization.

> That he's making this footage out of fear of litigation should bother you

I don't see how it protects him at all from litigation. But why would that bother me. Scientists use dated journals with unremovable pages to achieve a similar effect. Why would it bother me that he wants to document his process as legal protection?

Also that it's pretty hard to make good spreadsheet software I guess ? (Even Excel has bugs sometimes, not to mention various quirks for backward compatibility...)

AFAIK FramaSoft decided to stop working on FramaCalc (based on / hosting EtherCalc, based on SocialCalc), because it was just too hard for a small association like that (which already has to deal with managing lots of other services for free), but they seem to have decided to postpone the shutdown, I guess because of COVID ?

I was a graduate student with a research assistantship position at the University of Washington in the mid 2000s, a few years after they unionized and got a contract with the UAW.

By the time I was there, even though it was only a few years after the union struggle, I didn't hear much about the union, at least in my department.

But what I knew it meant was: we had good health insurance, we had a guaranteed minimum stipend, we had the right to actually take vacation during university vacations, and a certain number of sick days. I knew from talking to oother students, that before the union contract, grad students with assistantships didn't necessarily have these things (it depended on department), and sometimes literally got no vacation or allowed sick leave at all.

I was aware of no ways that the presence of a graduate student union harmed the grad students involved -- to the contrary of some suppositions in this thread. Grad student unions exist in dozens of universities, some for years now, so it's possible to look at actual experiences, not just forecasting supposition. I was also aware of no ways the union harmed research or academics at the university (beyond of course costing them more money to treat the grad students right).

I wonder if a few years after I left, most grad students even realized what the union had won for them. The union was not very visible, once the fight for a contract was over.
> The problem is that meaning is undefined and this leads you down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out what is the meaning of life, which will make you very disappointed and lead to constructing a psychological bubble of "beliefs" that you appoint as facts to find a way out of this burdensome brooding.

To be honest, this reads to me like "I haven't found meaning in life, therefore people who say they have are lying to themselves." You're free to believe what you want, and if that's what makes you happy more power to you, but don't assume your experience is universal. I assure you it isn't.
My kids are smart and eloquent. It all comes down to how much time you spend with them and how you instruct them.
That some individuals may occasionally be fooled does not change the fact that large subsets of the population just guzzle down whatever drivel their chosen political pundit makes up that day. It’s plenty useful to acknowledge the presence of collective brain rot.
I don't understand the problem. Why don't you just state your requirements upfront and they will simply decline if it's over budget? I don't think that's rude at all. I think it's basic open business communication.
Did you mean "represented by a union" rather than "repressed by a union"?
At many universities, there's a massive stash of funds: the Athletics Department, which is a completely different organization and therefore off the table.

Also, university administration lover building pyramids of hierarchy. When you add a level to the pyramid, everybody gets a raise. Executive salaries are ludicrous -- and similar to the bank execs in the '08 bailouts, they cut themselves bonuses for "saving money" on handling disasters of their own creation.

By and large, university endowments are treated as separate investment vehicles and are no longer used to ease times of hardship.

Universities have largely been sold out. What was once a venerable public institution is now run like a profit-driven business. Welcome to wal-mart.
