> models learning from data does not make the output of the models a derivative work of that data

Most of the debate seems to be happening on the question of whether everything produced by models trained on copyrighted work represents a derivative work. I argue that at the very least some of it does; so the claim said to be made by the AI companies (see quote above) is clearly a false one.

We're in a weird place now where AI is able to generate "near verbatim" work in a lot of cases, but I don't see an obvious case for treating this any differently than a human reproducing IP with slight modifications. (I am not a lawyer.)

For example, copyright law currently prevents you from selling a T-shirt with the character Spider-Man on it. But plenty of AI models can give you excellent depictions of Spider-Man that you could put on a T-shirt and try to sell. It's quite silly to think that any judge is going to take you seriously when you argue that your model, which was trained on a dataset that included pictures of Spider-Man, and was then asked to output images using "Spider-Man" as a search term, has magically circumvented copyright law.

(I think there's a valid question about whether models represent "derivative work" in the GPL sense specifically, but I'm using the idea more generally here.)
If an oven leaked a lot of pm2.5 or Carbon Monoxide and it happened to still be legal, it would still be an ethical obligation for someone that is aware of these issues to recommend against that oven even if someone just wants the cheap/easy option and does not comprehend the risks.

Those that can comprehend significant technical risks are obligated to recommend a low-risk strategy until people have enough relevant understanding to take informed risks for themselves.

I would for instance never let a minor use apps like TikTok known to granularly monitor and sell their location and behavior to keep them maximally addicted and maximally profitable. If the user is an adult tech worker that understands how such apps work and has the means to actually understand the privacy policy... then I will find their choice stupid but it is their life.

It's also probably because of all the SUVs that everyone wants nowadays. The greatest pressure against mandates alcohol test devices on cars should come from the auto industry itself.

In my country, the most drivers caught under the influence this year were using drugs rather than booze. Alcohol testers do not detect drugs. Also good luck driving a car with such a device to flee a fire or having the kid eat oranges while you're driving.
It is a result of representing application state as complex entity structures. I am not sure I would call it degenerate. n+1 would be quite natural if relational databases were theoretically pure. It only falls down in the real world because we accept deviation from the theory to allow implementation.

Joins are one possible workaround to the n+1 problem. However, they push the problem into the application to unpack, which detracts from having a nice high level abstraction in the database for fetching data. The many queries of n+1 would be ideal if you had an ideal database. You are querying on behalf of many different entities so many different queries is conceptually sound. But since we don't have ideal databases...

That's not to say that joins don't have their place. In the relational model, joins are essential. But the n+1 problem happens when you are not working in the relational model.
Why solar ‘tripping’ is a grid threat for renewables
I'm more concerned about how possible it is that one of these lasers harms a human by mistake when trying to target an insect.
To be more specific than the above:

1. Make sure you're using a model that isn't suffixed with `.en` (`base`, not `base.en).
2. Use `model.transcribe(your_input_audio, language='Japanese', task='translate')` ... with the appropriate input language.

I had to support live meeting in a 80k seat org at the time and it was an awful piece of software. Quite often it would fail to launch, the Outlook plugin would fail to load. You could spend hours playing with registry settings, app config trying to get the plug-in to launch. Live meeting was terrible and deserves to be fired into the sun.

The reply further down was "I'm streaming it from my phone to my TV" which would be a definite use case for wanting 4K on a phone.

Ukraine is not trying to conquer Russia. It’s only trying to free its occupied territories. And it has the power to do so. HIMARS and stuf …

Shallow depth of field also means that the video codec only has to concentrate on encoding detail in the [narrow] focal plane. In my experience, the results are stunning (50mm f/1.2L @f/2.0 and diffused LED video lights), and the combination of the well-lit in-focus elements in the image (transmitted by good glass) with the deeply and naturally blurred background would suggest that increasing the number of pixels in the image from ~ 1024x640 to ~ 1920x1080 would probably be far less noticeable than the numbers might suggest.

Teams certainly has a random factor to it. Perhaps it's MS' A/B testing or incrementally rolling out features? Because they definitely do that.
The article only talks about GPU start time, but the title is "CloudA vs CloudB reliability"

bit of a stretch, right
This is mostly not true in cases where resources are actually available (and in GCE if they're not the API rejects the VM outright, in general). To the extent that it is true for Borg when the job schedules immediately, it's largely due to package (~container layers, ish) loading. This is less relevant today (because reasons), and also mostly doesn't apply to GCE as the relevant packages are almost universally proactively made available on relevant hosts.

The origin for the info that jobs take "minutes" likely involves jobs that were pending available resources. This is a valid state in Borg, but GCE has additional admission control mechanisms aimed at avoiding extended residency in pending.

As dekhn notes, there are many factors that contribute to VM startup time. GPUs are their own variety of special (and, yes, sometimes slow), with factors that mostly don't apply to more pedestrian VM shapes.
Not very difficult.

If it disgusts you too much, why not let the drone do it for you.

Then again, if it disgusts you that much, you probably prefer killing the poor beasts.
Is this correct? A root problem here is that public companies have a strong motivation to show consistent (or steadily increasing) performance every quarter, yet the ups and downs of the economy, not to mention things like R+D, happen on slower timescales.
It’s crazy to run an electric water heater. Solar water heaters work very well. All they need is a small pump to move the working fluid, not thousands of Watts. A hybrid electric/solar heater is probably the best approach.
To be fair, you chose a video that displays an amalgamation of the biggest gaffes of 2021 for Biden.

“During his term as President of the United States, Donald Trump made tens of thousands of false or misleading claims. The Washington Post's fact-checker had tallied the number as 30,573 by January 2021, an average of about 21 per day by the end of his presidency.” [1][2][3][4]

I think it’s fair to say there would be a 100 hour long plus video / documentary if they were all compiled into one. lovely!

I’d just not discover my accidentally quadratic code and ship it. It would save me a lot of debugging time.
> In most programming languages, the linear algebra handling for these kinds of standard operations is performed by underlying libraries called the BLAS and LAPACK library. Most open source projects use an implementation called OpenBLAS, a C implementation of BLAS/LAPACK which does many of the tricks required for getting much higher performance than "simple" codes by using CPU-specialized kernels based on the sizes of the CPU's caches. Open source projects like R and SciPy also ship with OpenBLAS because of its generally good performance and open licensing, though it's known that OpenBLAS is handily outperformed by Intel MKL which is a vendor-optimized BLAS/LAPACK implementation for Intel CPUs (which works on AMD CPUs as well).

Much of this is more complex than this. Most open source software doesn’t ship with any assumptions about a particular BLAS/LAPACK implementation at all - and on HPC systems you are generally expected to choose one as appropriate and compile your code against it. It is generally only when you download a precompiled version that you’re given a particular implementation, but it doesn’t mean you can’t use another one if you compile from source as the BLAS and LAPACK libraries just present a standard API. Generally, for performance reasons, you want to compile specifically for your platform, because precompiled wheels from Conda, PyPI, etc. will leave performance on the table.

On forward thinking cluster teams these days, sysadmins use tools like Spack and Easybuild and to some degree software is made available to available to users either directly or by request, so it’s usual to log into a cluster and have multiple implementations available to choose from and compile your code against. More often than not, it’s still on you however to compile against what you need as dependencies. It’s a worthwhile exercise in HPC to try different ones and check the performance characteristics of your code on the particular machine with multiple implementations.
I wonder how there's so much difference. Don't programmers working at VS Code and Teams interact with each other?
I think we should strongly encourage everyone to be both more aware and more in control of the devices and applications they elect to use.
I thought you needed a 5DmkIII to get 1080p, because the 5DmkII has USB2.0 and is limited to a 200Mbps transfer speed (using MJPEG). And the HDMI resolution is much lower than that.
I have had zero crashes since it came out (I use it on Windows and iOS), and I switch devices in call frequently. While some parts of its UX are questionable, it’s not stability or performance I have problems with.

How hard is it to dodge that surveillance?
Actually, I don't believe this is accurate.

There is a single "desktop" user on chrome os - 'chronos'. Even when you login with different accounts, everything is still running as chronos (id 1000).

What happens is that there are separate loopback filesystems, 1 per each "google account", all stored under /mnt/stateful_partition. These filesystems are encrypted (ecryptfs). When you login, the relevant filesystem is decrypted and bind mounted over /home/chronos.

All of this is done locally, no network queries involved. I don't think that you lose your local files if your google account is somehow borked. You just lose the online aspects of that.

But as a general rule, your overall point about not being too reliant on googlopoly is one which should be well taken.
Possibly, but equally likely they start evolving weird colors patterns that fool the ai into not recognizing them.

I had to read your comment twice, I first mis-read "pom" as being a badly kermed [1] "porn", which made the entire thing hard to parse.

Then I realized I wasn't sure what "pom" means (not a native speaker, and from the northern hemisphere) either, so had to look it up [2]: "(Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, mildly derogatory slang) An Englishman; a Briton; a person of British descent". It's more of the rhyming slang, didn't know that was a thing for Australian slang.

From a distance I can safely claim that Apple's real dominant success was in its design language and UX match of software. Not the best tech, a walled garden, but pick it up and it felt nice and worked. Hits all the right buttons as a customer!
More importantly, it means that version upgrades are decoupled.

They don't have to download and install version 1 of an API for backwards compatibility if you're on version 2, and you don't have to download a new compiler version to upgrade a package as long as the package's maintainer is still willing to support the version you're on.

(That latter one being the same as with support for new revisions of C or C++ in in GCC.)

GPS has errors, outages. I actually have such a GPS device at work on my desk with a speeding alarm active and it does trigger occasionally, even with the indoor GPS repeater on.

Tough on speeding restrictions are also stupid. The Italians and Portugese found better ways to deter speeding: red lights with speed sensors at the entrance of low speed zones, localities and cameras with license plate readers that measure your average speed. You either get a red light or a fine for generally speeding as opposed to speeding for five seconds to overtake a slow car.

I'd just like to put a vote of confidence in for That Guy, I think we should absolutely have an option for them.

Which is a roundabout way of saying; it's critically important that we don't over-optimize for the central, happy path (just wanna browse securely on whatever hardware ya got). The most interesting things (and the most valuable) frequently come from the edge cases, which are absolutely supported by keeping an eye on the needs of "That One Guy".

Glottal stops for t's are not new. A lot of t's in American English are glottalized. For example

1. button

2. gotten

3. mountain

4. eaten

5. wait

In all of these examples the t is dropped entirely in all but the most formal speech. Unless you mean something different this is not a new phenomenon and is actually a characteristic marker of American English. In fact everyone I know, even people 30-40 years older than me, drop their t's everywhere. It actually feels weird to me to pronounce them in the above example and it sounds like I am scolding someone. I don't really know the linguistic history of it and my family has only been here a few generations, but everyone back to my grandparents spoke this way. Perhaps it wasn't as common before the 30's though.

As for news and what-not I'm so used to it I didn't even notice any change in inflection. NPR tends to be very hip these days (unfortunately) and so I am not surprised they are speaking more casually than a normal newcaster.
Frankly, you have not researched the project if you think this is what is happening. Invest some time into checking it out, you will probably be surprised. The information is right there, it's become a very transparent development.

You are also still wildly off the mark if you think the farce you imagine happening would take 700 people.
