I suspect that the way we watch the Olympics pretty much implies it is a country-team event. I'm pretty sure most people have their eyes on the medal count rankings, not on who exactly wins a medal (unless you are a close friend or relative of a particular athlete). So I always thought all competent national team coaches would do this kind of strategization.

I find myself needing to do some video editing maybe ten times a year - mostly for using videos as textures in 3d graphics but also small marketing clips. Usually just trimming, resizing, or clipping so I use ffmpeg. But anytime I need to do more I find myself searching for easy to learn, easily accessible video editing apps and I'm always disappointed. One thing I do sometimes need to do is switch color spaces or do other color correction on a clip.

So it sounds like this is perfect for me. It's not for video editing professionals. It's for the much larger community of people who need to do occasional video editing. If it's on the web that's a bonus actually because I don't have to worry about installing or what platform I'm using it on.

Obviously the tradeoff is you're gonna have trouble with multi-gigabyte raw footage. But that's a perfectly acceptable tradeoff.
Yeah, well I wouldn't have canceled by Dropbox subscription if they hadn't been so eager to turn it into some broad all-encompassing enterprise app.

I get that they have an audience, and the stakeholders have every inventive to try to leverage that attention into perpetual growth to stroke their own egos (and satisfy Wall Street), but this is why we can't have nice things.

Dropbox was plenty big enough to just be really good at file syncing in a platform agnostic way, this was literally better than Apple (despite Steve Jobs arrogant prognostication about "that's not a company that's a feature"), Microsoft or Google can ever achieve, because they always have the VP over their head making sure it serves their larger world-dominance agenda. This is the same reason Twitter had to measure itself against Facebook instead of recognizing that it had unique value as a protocol which Facebook never could have achieved regardless of DAUs or ad revenue numbers. The fact that "market rate" for software engineers is established by advertising/big data monopolies and everything of slightly lesser scale is deemed a failure is one of the saddest realities of our modern economy. The wonders we could have if the Berkeley tech hippies vision has been 20% closer to reality are truly astounding. As software engineers we live with an embarrassment of financial opportunity, juxtaposed against a dearth of technological vision and value delivered to the people.
> We don’t proceed with interviews unless video is available

Just throwing this out there. I've been interviewing lately and on more than one occasion now I've had the recruiter/screener pull the "oh, haha, my camera's not working" gag. Mistakes happen, but I wasn't born yesterday. So now I don't switch on my camera until I see the interviewer first. Needs to be a level playing field. I'm not interviewing through a one-way mirror.

You need to be clear when sending out the Zoom/Teams/WebEx invite that there will be video.

I had one screener kind of act annoyed that I didn't have video and I'm thinking to myself, "This is a phone call pal, your camera is off too." More than likely the WFH screener is just chilling in his or her bath robe or footy pajamas.
You do realize that they were trying to have a rational discussion here, right? They're pretty unambiguously asking for information and trying to understand your viewpoint.

If AGI is the wrong term to use then either get over it, or explain what term they should use. Particularly when they ask you to explain why the term is wrong.

The idea of a self aware AI is a little difficult for most people to define. Even if the term AGI isn't accurate, don't you think it's important that people be able to discuss the topic? Especially when those people are quite explicitly trying to learn more about it.

Yeah, feels, same.

More broadly there is a thread to pull there about the overwhelming power of narratives- in all forms, words, pictures, sounds- in human- only human- affairs.

Power in every other species on the planet is measured in physical and sometimes mental/tactical capabilities. Only in humans are stories dominant. Of course there is violence in the human world, but the most boldly violent devote the most care to their narratives.

Framing that state of affairs as dictatorship is a brilliant and ironic insight.

I went into the piece expecting more. Instead I got blather about bureaucracy.

California approves bill to punish doctors who spread false information
So this caused caused me to associate in interesting manners, one thing lead to another, and suddenly I was reading a really wacky paper, which does have some real science, but where it's hard to tell where science ends and fantasy begins [1]. Anyway one formulation stuck with me and came back after having some nice sleep. How lightning storms can cause the schuman resonance to ring like a bell.

What I realized was that lightning is phenomenon in time-domain. And then I realized that action potentials are also a time-domain phenomenon. And what are brainwaves but the ringing of action potentials (this question is less rhetorical than it first sounds, I don't know, maybe there is actually something more to it)? Lightning storms... action potential storm. Maybe it's simply that the start of the game or something similar, that causes a strong time-domain response, basically a dirac spike, with a little resonant ringing.

Unix domain socket permissions are quagmire of portability, aren't they?

It adds complexity to the app if the app also does speak over the network. It's more than just changing how you create the sockets, and a few details around that.

You will find that the detailed semantics of some of the socket operations will be different here and there.

E.g. exactly how a non-blocking connect works over a AF_UNIX versus AF_INET in all the cases that may arise; things like that.

The configuration may be exposed to the user who may have to learn to specify a Unix socket for the local case or else an IP address. If there is some configuration language, it may have to be tweaked to indicate the address type. (Could be as simple as a hack somewhere that if there is a leading slash, it's AF_UNIX).
I don't think so. It's a little too convenient for the West to think this way, so there's a duty of skepticism. I think you can look at military stuff (fighter jets, spacecrafts, aircraft carriers), or civilian stuff like EVs, 5G network equipment, and see a clear ability to develop competitive and innovative indigenous technology when the sustained political will is there. It's bootstrapped off of imported platforms for sure but goes beyond what most other countries are able to produce.
> A license is required to export technology to support or develop covered products. The USG indicated that the new license requirement will address the risk that the covered products may be used in, or diverted to, a ‘military end use’ or ‘military end user’ in China and Russia.

Can someone who actually knows how this kind of thing works comment on how hard it would be to satisfy such a license requirement? Like, presumably the large share of uses are _not_ military ... but is it prohibitively difficult for e.g. a Chinese company legitimately doing lots of ML for consumer products and services to credibly show that they're going to use them only for that purpose? Or is the presumption that eventually if the ban works, the Chinese government would just seize the GPUs from any company that had them, so no non-military uses can get them either?

And now that many metros have near gigabit low-ish latency 5G networks, you don't even need to have a lot of games running locally. You could just stream games from the cloud our your console/PC at home if you're on the go. Having a phone that can easily be a game pad is such a fun concept.

No, it hasn’t- the Olympics have never been a substitute for war. They have however been a great way for peaceful nations to promote themselves economically for tourism during and after the event- although not for a while with the IOCC and Olympic hosting becoming a massive opportunity for corrupt boondoggles. Even so, host country aside, the international event has created the opportunity to raise awareness and create good will towards nations that otherwise wouldn’t have any similar opportunity- the Jamaican bobsled team comes to mind.

That’s surprisingly high indeed. As a general rule, humans are not great at dealing with low probability, high impact events. See: global pandemic readiness.

Although, what are we more proactive about than reactive? Heard a story today about how heat waves are the most deadly common natural disaster/phenomenon, but hurricanes get much more attention. Something about dealing with invisible threats with probabilistic death rates.

The bubble won't burst any time soon. The government has shown that it's willing to print money as soon as the stock market down turn gets too painful. The market will fall but at some point there will be a save by Fed. Long term the market will be fine.

Printing money can't go on forever but we are not at the end of the situation, yet.
My point was that making it a personal choice seems to be failing us. We’ve been telling people to do that for decades, and they’re not — make it a societal choice so that it’s individuals are automatically enrolled in a system that promotes their health rather than forcing them to sit in a car seat for hours per week

> Internet usage is anything like what parents have always had to do, though—it's a totally new challenge on top of all the ones that already existed.

Not entirely all the ones that have already existed. Parents used to have to worry about what their kids would rent on their own from video rental stores, or who they were communicating with on teen party lines (look it up if that was long before your time) or the local BBS scene, or going back even farther if they were viewing lewd content in penny arcades or by sneaking into drive-in theaters or sideshows.

> Before, the usual way to keep your kids from seeing...porn or brutal violence or from encountering any excessively-weird or dangerous subcultures was basically do nothing

I'm afraid that's never been true. Arguably, it was much harder in past decades to monitor what your kids were doing because children were far more autonomous than they are today where many are tracked by GPS 24/7. If I were a teenager I think it'd be much easier to hide compromising polaroids and skin mags than to try to hide sexting and visits to pornhub from tech savvy parents. Really though the challenge is simply constantly evolving as old media dies off and new forms pop-up.

> The norm in earlier cases when others have some say in whether your kids can access such material, is that they're either prohibited by law from providing it, or else are following some prodded-into-existence-by-government industry guidelines that largely prevent access to it by kids.

I can say from experience that libraries don't care what you're reading and only occasionally care when you try checking the materials out. As a kid I was never told I couldn't purchase any book I brought to the counter in bookstores and many of them were not remotely appropriate for my age by most people's standards.

When video rentals were a thing the clerks would also routinely rent R rated materials to us as small children (although not 100% of the time). Record stores had zero issues selling music with 'scandalous' lyrics to kids even after parental warning stickers became a thing. Actually getting into an R rated movie as a kid was hit and miss if you bought the ticket, but most people I knew would buy tickets for a kid show and just enter the R rated show once inside (now that theaters have assigned seating that might not work as well today). I do think video game stores have been more strict comparatively because of all the attention on them from parents and media, but they've also been the most tame in terms of sexual content for the same reason.

Generally kids have never had much of an issue finding ways to get into trouble and there's nothing more appealing than the forbidden. I think every generation's parents had to stay on their toes and put in genuine effort to restrict what their kids were seeing and doing and usually with only very limited success.
Oh, that feels so retro. That's the kind of stuff I was taught going through Stanford in the 1980s, at the beginning of the "AI Winter".

I've actually done a blocks world on a real robot (an IBM RS-1, of all things) using that approach, programming in LISP. Yes, it worked. No, it can't deal with an unstructured or dynamic world. Predicate calculus is fine for program proving, but terrible for real world robots.

The original license that accounts for most of the code you are concerned with was released with an MIT license. https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/commit/2ff270f4e... The August 10th update made unenforceable rules about how the pre-trained model can be used or distributed. A new license was added to an entire codebase that was already partially released under the MIT license. So only the new code would have copyright reserved. That alone makes most of your argument a moot point.

The actual scripts being used were committed to the repo on August 21st. https://github.com/hlky/stable-diffusion/commit/1d0036cb6644... And these actual scripts being used don't seem to be modified from the ones that were relicensed with the rights reserved.

The crux of the situation for me is that at no point during the release of the pre-trained model do the authors claim any sort of copyright on the images produced, if the end user is generating on their own hardware. There's no meaningful way to legally enforce the current CreativeML Open RAIL-M or the previous MIT derived license that creates rules about how the output of the software can be used.

That is something that has been confusing me, but I imagine it will get cleared up sooner rather than later.

The additional rules are effectively an acceptable use policy. There is no meaningful legal consequence of breaking acceptable use policy. The most that can be done is that an end user will no longer be allowed to used the pre-trained models. Additionally acceptable use policy has to specify a jurisdiction. In the US, breaking acceptable use policy does not amount to violating the CFAA.

The actual license seems mostly about a way for there to be no way to hold the authors of the models accountable for any illegal activity done by the end users. Which is completely fair and understandable.

This kind of misunderstanding and fear-based approach to reusing code is what holds back progress and seems to be what the authors actively tried to fight by releasing the current repo with a CreativeML Open RAIL-M license.

I believe the intent of the authors is as important as the exact text of the repository. Especially since the cited sources for the foundation this was built of off, x-transformers by lucidrains, OpenAI's ADM codebase, and Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model, in Pytorch by lucidrains are all licensed with MIT. Most importantly, the restrictive license is based almost completely on the condition that the end user is using their pre-trained model. If the end-user manages to create and uses their own model from scratch, there is no reason for any part of the original repo license to apply.

Yeah, here is an Australia it was pretty surprising. We’d had some “horror flu seasons” over the last few years (over 1000 deaths in 2017 and about 900 in 2019), and then COVID hit and we managed to stay mostly on top of that, as well as the travel restrictions and lockdowns working so well that there was only 36 flu deaths in 2020 and none in 2021. For 2021 we actually had negative excess deaths.

Since then we dropped basically all restrictions and have had 14,000 COVID deaths (all mostly this year, we had about 2,200 from the start of the pandemic to the end of 2021) which weirdly aren’t talked about in the media at all, whereas you’d hear about the daily death count every day during outbreaks in 2020 and 2021…

It's really more like a smarter autocomplete. I haven't tried it on a third party API yet, we don't use many at work. I work in a startup on a Python and TypeScript code base. To give an example, last night I was creating a unit test and copilot filled in the assertions. It missed one it couldn't know about, and it got two wrong. But it was a lot faster. The most amazing case to me was with a function to transform URLs to an image resize service. There was a bug in the function, it needed to return URLs ending in .SVG as-is. I went to fix the bug by typing "if" and copilot filled in the `if url.lower().endswith(".svg") return url`. It knew about the bug before I did. Too bad it couldn't do a code review when I originally wrote the function.
