> Harry Potter is a trademark. It protects and distinguishes identity and authority.

Perhaps I should have said Darth Vader, then - the point is you can copyright a character independent of the copyright on a book's text, and the trademark on the series name, and the fact that broad concepts like "black-clad masked evil overlord" are uncopyrightable. And that copyright can persist even if you transform a book character into an engraved coffee mug.

> I'm not seeing an ethical difference from any of this. Or did I miss the point?

The difference is:

If a person says "Stable diffusion is to its copyrighted training data as an audio description is to a painting" or "Stable diffusion is to its copyrighted training data as the concept of boy wizards is to harry potter" they would probably say it's ethically fine.

If a person says "Stable diffusion is to its copyrighted training data as a photograph of a painting is to the painting" or "Stable diffusion is to its copyrighted training data as video lecture is to a single image in its slides" they might well say it's not ethical.

It pretty much was entirely due to COVID as far as anyone can tell. Spain experienced a drop similar to the US (and nearly all OECD countries experienced some slight decline).

Those kinds of shoes you mention tend not to last very long at all and are not resoleable. If you walk a lot, you find yourself throwing away the $80 shoe after just 6 months.

These kinds of shoes are most of the market because most people don't walk much in the USA. If you walk a lot, you might still not change anything and keep buying the disposable sneakers, throwing away $160 a year.

But if you walk a lot AND are disposed to think critically about the situation, you find that if you pay a bit more for shoes you can make them last many years as long as you resole them periodically. And as I recall, a good $50 sole on a good $150 shoe costs half as much and lasts three times as long as a disposable $80 sneaker.

Not only do you save money (not really a ton) but it actually is more convenient, since even counting resolings, you get more miles between having to go repair or replace your shoe. And you don't have to wear in your leather uppers again. It is truly a luxurious feeling when you come back from the cobbler and have shoes that are worn in and fit your foot just perfectly like a glove... yet the soles are brand new and strong and comfortable and ready for another thousand miles.

Why do you think there's a stereotype of leather boots being popular in NYC? I'm sure the resoleability and longevity in the face of large amounts of daily walking have a lot to do with it.

In my previous job we struggled to get a CMS for our app: it was a medical app with articles embedded in it, and we wanted a way to have doctors and translators work independently in a CMS environment, with the final product being released in the normal way.

We never found anything that would have done the CI automation we wanted, or not without significant customisation. Do you support CI workflows at all?

I think discontent could translate into changes of power in government.
I’d recommend generalized linear models which are a subset of linear mixed models. These are the driving force for financial services.

The model building process for these translates well to other types of models.

Decision trees and random forests show up too.

I think data science is great in that it exposes one to programming and technology moreso than a focus in math or stats, I was mostly complaining about the marketing I’ve seen surrounding AI. I recall listening to a few mba consultants claiming that they could improve a business process significantly by using ML even though there was sparse inaccurate data available and they had no modeling background.

Overall I think AI models are interesting and often useful (although not sure what fits under the umbrella), but am tired of the hype, strong opinions, and amount of claimed expertise.

The radiology stuff is happening. My father is an administrator at a hospital. They went from having 3 radiologists on staff to 2 because they use ai to screen which increases productivity. These things don't have to be all or nothing, the hospital is saving hundreds of thousands a year now because radiologists are so expensive.
Things being subjective doesn't mean they're not true. What you mean to say is my arbitrary or biased view, which also doesn't invalidate their truthfulness. The fact that folks like you think subjectivity means arbitrary or biased or that it has no truth or factual value is disturbing and your position is also a deflection. In the United States, you can be sued at any time by other private parties. The fact that Josh Moon refuses to reign in his site users because he agrees with them (you can look in the posts he's made) means any business you do with them sets you up for liability. And guess what? Cloud Flare's CEO is endangering the bottom line and if I was a minority holder I'd be calling up the board to override his decisions, even if it meant a complete stockholder revolt against him. Letting the rejects of the most rejected group of people congregate and do misdeeds that either are explicitly illegal or border on illegality isn't a sound business decision. Wake me up you have an actual argument rather than trying to do 4chan level antics and mockery.
I'm amused that one of the partisans in that war was a motorcycle assassin that shared my first and last names.

He told me one night that somebody at the bar had mistaken him for a hit man and I figure now it must have been that guy.

> Even that was not the decisive problem - given enough compute multilayer NNs could be trained just fine.

As someone who has worked in deep learning, this isn't true. Figuring out the right recipe is extremely important. The regime in which you can effectively train a neural network with good performance is just very small. If you structure things just slightly wrong, training just won't converge.

IMO we totally could have trained something like a smaller ImageNet with a decently large dataset on a supercomputer in the late 90s. We just didn't know how. In the late 90s and early 2000s, NN researchers didn't know about (or didn't appreciate the importance of) batchnorm, or ReLUs, or which hyper-parameters to use. Convnets had been invented but hadn't yet been popularized.

In the late 90s, you might have tried training an 8-layer deep MLP on a dataset of 50K images on your Cray T3E supercomputer. But you would most likely have failed, because you weren't using convnets, your sigmoid activation function lead to a vanishing gradient, and your hyper-parameters were off. You might let this run overnight, but 12 hours later, your loss barely went down, and you were out of compute budget on a supercomputer you were sharing with other researchers. Given the right code, the right recipe, you could have made it work on that 90s supercomputer and with the compute budget you had, but the right recipe just wasn't known at the time.

We needed time to figure out and to publish about the really basic ingredients needed to train bigger neural networks successfully. Having access to more compute can help figure out what the right recipe is through trial and error, but ReLUs are a super basic innovation. They are a very simple function, and essentially a theoretical innovation. Someone needed to sit down and figure out that vanishing gradients were actually a problem we needed to think about.
My impression was that medical data access for training and eval was the really big thing holding it back... You wind up with deep learning folks obsessing over datasets with tens of examples.
Except that example is already against their existing ToS.

So, if someone is standing trial for murder and it turns out the evidence against them was collected illegally, they will end up getting away with it even if everyone knows they did it.

It's not that we value police procedure more than we value the life of the victim. We value rule of law and due process as a society more than any individual gap in applying justice in a given case.

Yes, if we ignore procedure and lock that murderer up anyway, we will have done better justice for the victim. But then we will no longer have a functioning criminal justice system, and that's much worse in the long run.

If Cloudflare allows DDoS to take down these horrible sites, the world will definitely be a better place in many ways. But then it will also be a world where we deal with problems via DDoS and whether you get to keep your site up or have it DDoSed is subject to the whims of Cloudflare. DDoSing sites won't be "wrong" anymore, it'll be a question of whether they deserved it or not.

This is not how we do justice as a society. If someone punches you in the face without instigation, we don't ask if you deserved it, we charge them with assault.

Cloudflare allowing DDoS of content they don't like would be a bit like allowing assault of people we don't like. Maybe there are some people we're happy to see punched in the face, but in the long run, our society suffers.

Protecting people from getting punched in the face, even when they deserve it, is fundamental to maintaining rule of law in society. Wrongdoers are punished after due process of law, not arbitrarily by any vigilante who decides to give them what they deserve.

That is essentially what Cloudflare is arguing.
Hard to say, but this is kind of what A. 3D animation already does and B. Sort of a misunderstanding of animation.

Animated frames are supposed to convey intention. They’re fantastic at doing this since you can manipulate every detail of every frame. The idea that you’ll just run an AI through it, that might work for dialogue scenes of a typical Japanese TV anime where intention is low and mostly it’s indeed grunt work. But I would imagine it would be a bit lifeless - unless someone trains an ML specifically for anime using good animation as a reference.

Basically just moving between two frames is an example of extremely poor animation.

Source: am animator, sort of.
I see the value in this product, and I agree that for developers it’s boring to build CMS, that’s why me and my team have been shopping around for a solution to give marketers and sales a tool which could give them autonomy, we picked contentful a couple of weeks ago as no one wanted to be on call for hosting issues, so it’s a shame, I wished you could’ve launched few weeks ago but now we’ve already started developing it after pitching it to stakeholders and getting the budget approved, good luck for your success
1kg of lead is like 90mL. I just measured my quite svelte TV remote at 22cm x 2cm x 5cm = 220mL. I'm sure you could easily fit 1.5 kilos of lead in there, and with a slightly thicker "A/V receiver" style remote we could easily make that 3-4kg
This feels related to the idea that there is mostly no such thing as "general intelligence." Rather, there's a diverse field of mental/cognitive skills. Many may correlate (or even..causate?) but I believe this is why e.g. AI is overhyped.
Maybe I'm jaded, but I take it to mean that the country is poor for the reasons stated. It has neither the global pull, nor the connections to massive corporations to make it anything but a humanitarian issue. This is a harder sell to other countries than a business and industry issue.
I think the problem is that most of the people working in this field does not seem to have basic knowledge about statistics or how to evaluate statistics. They somehow think they can cheat it. And they over evaluate their own results.

It's not as if generative art is new. Nor is figurative painting relevant anymore since the invention of the camera. A basic Burger joint in Gerhard Richter kind of style transfer is very much derivative. This isn't bad in view of the classics, but it's more like art-work to me.

The true artists in this one are the coders, no doubt (corrolar to the inteligence debate).

On the other hand, you mention an important point with layout but you underestimate the progress these days. Surely there are companies who are working on automated design beyond CAD (computer aided design), eg. for specialized antenna.

> we'll all start to feel a bit disappointed that the average human's imagination is pretty limited and novel/original ideas remain somewhat rare as the patterns and tropes in all the generated art emerge

Well, one might argue that Richter's most highly priced piece looks a little like prehistoric art of the pleistocene. It's a little vain to mention it, because I can much better relate to the more basic form, of course. A more frequently sore point would be the pop music industry between professionals and the amateurish.

Anyway, this may be thinking too big. For the time being, the bunch of techniques is better understood as a toolbox, because it will be a long time before it trumps demo-scene productions, for instance. Here it is the technique that counts more often than not. The rest is an acquired taste.

If you like, substitute "best practice" for "norm". The point I'm making is that almost nobody does DNSSEC, including but not limited to the startups with the best-regarded security teams. I'm wary of pointing the "security teams" part out because it leaves the impression that maybe companies without security teams do normally turn DNSSEC on, but that's not the case: almost nobody turns DNSSEC on. It doesn't solve real problems, and it creates a bunch of new problems.

Again, a good way to rebut this would be to present examples of established startups that have DNSSEC-signed their domains. For instance: you could take the top startups list from YC (it's on the front page, and you can pull the domains out easily in the Chrome console) and then check all of them to see if they're signed.

A bunch of them are! About 8%. But that's because a bunch of them are not in North America, and European registrars in particular automatically DNSSEC-sign new zones. But take a wild guess about Stripe (huge security team). Or Instacart. Or Cruise. Or Brex (banking!). Or Reddit. Or Gusto. Zapier. Segment. Vanta (the YC standard for SOC2, FWIW).

To the extent "no DNSSEC" is a norm, and not a best practice (it is both), that norm is unlikely to change; I think DNSSEC adoption is likely to decline (as it has in some previous years). It just doesn't work.
There are some really interesting ECS implementations popping up in Rust, like apecs[0], which supports async systems.

You can move this one out of the theory column and into the fact column. It is very real. :-) Not only is this common but I once even had the misfortune to be in an environment that was so high pressure and under-resourced that the only way to meet ticket quotas was "by any means necessary" I learned this and a bunch of other sketchy tricks to buy time there, such as the reverse of this, which is when the support person asks a question to the customer that is not actually relevant or they already know the answer to, just to buy time till the ticket queue is less overloaded.
Some websites already do something similar: if you are logging in from an "unrecognized" (unfingerprinted) browser, they might force you to 2FA authenticate and then give you have the option to "trust this browser" for future logins. You might still need to log in with your password, but not 2FA.

Of course, that fingerprint can break when your browser auto-updates to a new version.
In the early days (pre 2015) it was extremely difficult to train models with more than two or three layers.

Batch Norm and Residual connections opened the door to actual depth.

Until the government decides your content no longer deserves protection because of your politics or religion or whatever.

This is the same problem as government "regulating" social media companies and forcing them to publish certain kinds of speech against their will, which people also seem to want. Inevitably it boils down to an end-run around the First Amendment, as it gives government direct control over speech at a far greater scale than any corporation, backed up by a monopoly on violence.
