It’s not about reconstruction, it’s about the notion of a “derivative work”. Translating a work would absolutely be derivative (consider the case of translating a literary work between languages: this is a classic example of a derivative work). Blurring a work but incorporating it would nonetheless still be derivative, I think.

The challenge with these models is that they’ve clearly been trained on (exposed to) copyrighted material, and can also demonstrably reproduce elements of copyrighted works on demand. If they were humans, a court could deem the outputs copyright infringement, perhaps invoking the subconscious copying doctrine (https://www.americanbar.org/groups/intellectual_property_law...). Similarly, if a person uses a model to generate an infringing work, I suspect that person could be held liable for copyright infringement. Intention to infringe is not necessary in order to prove copyright infringement.

The harder question is whether the models themselves constitute copyright infringement. Maybe there’s a Google Books-esque defense here? Hard to tell if it would work.
I do this too, and I’ve built some software for it just for myself.

Why would a country leave NATO and become a target to be conquered by Russia? I don't believe any such country is so suicidal.
A truce? This was an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country by another nation, with deliberate targeting of civilian population.
They're already at sending reservists, who get around 3 days of training. Their front-line tank crews get exactly one practice shell per crew member, each year. Putin is going to run through all their reservists, and then start sending every Russian man who can physically hold a gun into the meat grinder. It only ends when someone in his government finally takes him out, or Ukrainians march on Moscow itself. How many Putin allies can fall down stairs or have strange accidents in 2 months time?

I wish they didn't attack Ukraine at all.

A truce would've just given Russia what they wanted, and given them more time to mount the next and inevitable attack.

Yeah, flagging stuff or just clicking dislikes sometimes does not work at all. I feel this is due to popularity being more important than these dislike acts. Additionally Youtube algorithm also treats user `dislikes` like an engagement, so it may work against your common sense.

What I did find very useful some time ago was to actually `Block` whole YouTube channels (you do it from Channel's Info page by clicking on the Flag button). This is an ultimate way of getting rid of some content on your feed. I blocked pretty much all these 5-Minute Crafts, Blossoms, Bright Side and other crap-generating trolls. Best decision ever!
Having spent my childhood in one of the poorer corners of the globe, it tracks with what I experienced, for what it's worth. When folks don't have much, group sharing any bounty received, and being the recipient of others', is how people survive.

From an AP version of the story someone linked bellow:

Tickets for the Moscow-Belgrade flights operated by Air Serbia, the only European carrier besides Turkish Airlines to maintain flights to Russia despite a European Union flight embargo, sold out for the next several days. The price for flights from Moscow to Istanbul or Dubai increased within minutes before jumping again, reaching as high as 9,200 euros ($9,119) for a one-way economy class fare.

I think that's been upscaled, as it shows Neptune being over 300px in diameter. Unless I'm misinterpreting something (a distinct possibility), that would require an angular resolution of nearly 10x what the JWST is capable of. I don't know what kind of processing they applied to get it to that size but I can't resolve any detail in that closeup that isn't visible in the version where it's 80px. By my naive calculations (which I explain in another comment), Neptune should be about 30 pixels wide - is there anyone who can shed light on this mystery?
I'm not a copyright lawyer or anything, but the way I look at it is that the big concern is that you can't easily prove that a particular AI output is not just a memorized copyrighted training example. So even if we assume that it is perfectly allowable to train your model on unlicensed images, that doesn't protect you if your model spits out a carbon copy (or something close enough to be infringing) of a copyrighted image.

A similar concern exists for things like Copilot, but it feels even harder to detect in the image domain.
The problem with the securities may have been correlated risk, but that didn't cause 2008. 2008 did not have a single problem, it had a lot of problems.
> No, the lifeblood of volunteer-run open source projects are their users. If there aren't users, there is absolutely no point to an Open Source software other than being a hobby for those who get involved in it.

This feels a bit screwy. Maybe it's arguable what the "lifeblood" of a volunteer-run open source project is, but surely it's not simply the users -- without sufficiently motivated volunteers there would be no project for the users to use.

And how is working as an unpaid volunteer, alongside your day job, anything but a hobby anyway?

> Instead it would just keep losing ground or stagnating compared to closed-source private services and ecosystems that prioritize their users.

Let's assume you've identified a genuine problem with many open source projects: their unpaid volunteers aren't offering good enough support to their users. What happens to the project when their motivation is completely sapped because they haven't been able to work on interesting problems, due to having to pacify needy users who aren't giving anything back?
It's inevitable there will be a AI Stock Photo competitor, but I don't envy the legal battles that'll follow. Getty, Adobe, iStock, etc are almost guaranteed to sue, and it'll be an expensive and long process.

I look forward to these stock photo sites dying - image copyright is a royal PITA since discovering copyright is almost always just paying shakedown notices from DMCA bot lawyers after the fact when you make mistakes.
Electricity is not the only energy we consume, you have to see calories as a whole: transport, chemistry, making building, etc.

Also, the US delegated most of the industry in Asia, and the energy consumption moved there.

If you buy an iphone in the US, the energy used to create and ship that iphone doesn't appear on the US consumption, yet it is american.

And of course, any local consumption is affecting the world as a whole.
This is even slightly more direct: access to WSJ data requires paying LDC for the download, and the pricing varies depending on what institution / license you're from. The cost may be a drop in the bucket compared to compute, but I don't know that these licenses are transferable to the end product. We might be a couple court cases away from finding out but I wouldn't want to be inviting one of those cases :)
I imagine they must design these things so that when a tiny spark ignites, you don’t lose your whole investment. With internal fire breaks.

> human is the worst being in this rock

I recently learned that this view is called "misanthropy" or "misanthropism". It's related to philosophical pessimism and antinatalism (that people should not be born). I suppose it also supports population control.

> Misanthropy involves a negative evaluative attitude towards humanity that is based on a negative judgment concerning mankind's flaws. These flaws are seen as ubiquitous, i.e. possessed by almost everyone to a serious degree and not just by a few extreme cases

It tends to specifically be an issue with encrypted swap, because encrypted swap uses a random ephemeral encryption key. Honestly, I think in a lot of cases it makes sense to simply There are solutions for this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncrypt...

I think the real challenge here is for distro vendors to figure out how to provide a better user experience around this. There's no reason that the ephemeral key can't be stored in a sealed state that can be recovered as the machine wakes. There are obviously some security implications to this, but I think it's fair to say that a lot of users would prefer making that trade-off.
Being from nearby, and born in the 80s, I can say that these accents are still common nowadays. However, they were far less common on TV than they were in the population then, and the same is true now. I suppose Eddie Dempsey and Mick Lynch are the most prominent people on TV nowadays who have non-"TV accents".
That's putting lots of words in my mouth. I agree that police reform is desperately needed, but people saying we don't need police are sabotaging their own argument. If they had any nuance at all people might actually listen to them.

>~97% accuracy over hour-long conversations. I'm sure it's been an absolute godsend for law enforcement

97% accuracy means roughly three or four errors per minute of speech. That seems potentially extremely problematic for something like law enforcement use where decisions with significant impact on people's day and/or life might be made on the basis of "evidence".
Utility is maximized by allowing supply&demand to work. No two people have the same use for any commodity - rationing provides some people with too much and the rest with too little. Nobody gets just the right amount under rationing.

The government does what the people demand. The people demand the government outlaw gouging, the government outlaws it.
The United States does not need to win a war, they just need to provide enough military support to Ukraine so that the resources Russia devotes to Ukraine reduce their expeditionary military capability. Russia is already pulling forces out of Syria and is not getting involved in the Azerbaijan Armenia conflict even though by treaty they should be supporting Armenia.

My understanding is that this is not the catalyst. The catalyst involves a bunch of drama between various streamers, which led to the revelation that a particular Twitch streamer had fraudulently asked to borrow something like $350,000 from various other streamers and viewers, and had gambled it all away.

Once that happened, a bunch of influential streamers started to suggest that they may do a strike if Twitch didn't address the issue, and that was the final straw.

It may also be the case that a community more inclined towards socialism ('sharing any bounty') doesn't fair as well, and is disproportionately likely to be poor. Not saying that's the case, but it's one possible explanation of why poor communities would disproportionately exhibit that behavior.
My own experience agrees: the generally available "SOTA" models are not especially robust, and can be _extremely_ bad (>50% absolute error rate) at some tasks. I'll post some preliminary numbers in a sibling comment and look into running my full set of tests on Whisper.

It looks like Whisper is probably leaving a lot of accuracy on the table, but initially it does seem to be a lot more robust than general "SOTA" models.

For a quick comparison, Silero's accuracy charts are kind of nice because they post results for a large variety of datasets. Scroll down to the EN V6 xlarge EE model (not the xlarge CE) [1]

Graphql does not address the problem he's describing. When he says "transformation" his meaning is similar to transformation in an ETL process. What he means is the application loads data, the user takes an action, and the front end code handles updating the objects locally, then sends messages to the backend telling it what the new data state should be.

This is very dangerous behavior for any application. You don't want the front end to determine how much the shopping cart costs or to just tell the backend they've paid, therefore add the items to the orders list. Even if there isn't blatantly obvious security concerns, you should still never let your front end blindly determine data state changes. All such business logic belongs in the backend as much as possible.

What he's talking about is when business logic is split between the front and backend, which makes everything much harder to test on top of increasing the likelihood of duplicate code or even code which does the same thing but looks different enough to not be caught as duplication (which means changing business logic requires finding all the places it was implemented and changing them all, and if you miss any its unlikely anyone else will realize it until it hits prod).

The UI should always just be a shell that sends requests to a backend which determines which updates to make. There are exceptions like when a user makes form based changes to an object, but the only business logic in that case is "let the user decide what the value should be and persist that choice as is". If any additional changes may need to occur as a result of their change, your backend should make them. Even if you just need to determine if a change shouldn't be allowed because of related data, send a request to your backend requesting the answer and any relevant data necessary for display purposes, not the data necessary to make that determination.

There are exceptions to what I've said, but even in those cases, the backend should still verify whether the front end's result is correct. While the front end was working, a change could have gone through in the backend which invalidates that change. This is why things like concurrency/version tokens can be very important.

In any case, Graphql may have capabilities that look like they help keep business logic in the backend, but it doesn't stop programmers from putting business logic in the front end anyway. No matter how you try to look at it, spreading business logic out across your applications various layers always has unintended consequences for maintainability and even scalability.
