A few seconds of a song is also very small, and yet it only take a few notes in some cases for a court to find someone guilty of copyright infringement.

> On top of that, if the plaintiff could win, the actual market value of the source work is relevant to damages and that value is likely almost nothing so congratulations, you tied up the legal system just to get one AI-image taken down.

The pirate bay trial gave precedence that people can be found guilty of copyright infringement in the general sense, rather than for a specific case of a copyrighted work. The lawyers for the site tried to argue that the legal system should had been forced to first go to court over a specific work with a specific person in mind who did the infringement, but the judges disagreed. According to the court it was enough that infringement was likely to have occurred somewhere and somehow. A site like getty could make the same argument that infringement of their images is likely to have occurred somewhere, by someone, and the court could accept that as fact and continue on that basis.
If you don't think that the rule of law requires violence, you are deeply, deeply naive. Nonviolent people are almost immediately terrorized by violent people and have always been throughout history. Even if you are capable of creating a peaceful society where no violent crimes ever occur, the threat of invasion from an outside society that desires your land for resources or living space still exists.
"I fully agree with you about the significance and educational value of methodology as well as history and philosophy of science. So many people today - and even professional scientists - seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest. A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is - in my opinion - the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth."

Some of us like to use twitch to see people playing games (you know, its original intended purpose) and when half of the front page is glorified camgirls, it undermines that. More and more streamers are abandoning games and going for boring IRL garbage instead because that's what Twitch promotes.
There's a lot of shitheads out there for sure and when one commits crimes in which there are victims one makes a moral decision to inflict some kind of harm.
Even with that, you can never truly know another person and categorizing who committed crime out of necessity and who is morally devoid is near impossible. I think we tend to judge our peers harsher than we judge our corporate overlords.

Imo this type of crime is a symptom of our broken society more than a symptom of a broken person.

Copaganda and western hero-villain stories teach us from a young age that there has to be a bad guy who needs to suffer for their actions.

He did when he was 12 and 16. It's impossible to assess whether that holds value (particularly difficult because Niemann is 19). I wouldn't be surprised if other professional chess players cheated as young teenagers.

Yes, it does. As I explained, GraphQL servers can see which requests should be collated and deduplicated and puts them all into one request. For example, Relay:

> Relay combines the advantages of both of these approaches by allowing components to specify what data they require, but to coalesce those requirements into a single query that fetches the data for an entire subtree of components. In other words, it determines statically (i.e. before your application runs; at the time you write your code) the requirements for an entire view!

> This is achieved with the help of GraphQL. Functional components use one or more GraphQL fragments to describe their data requirements. These fragments are then nested within other fragments, and ultimately within queries. And when such a query is fetched, Relay will make a single network request for it and all of its nested fragments. In other words, the Relay runtime is then able to make a single network request for all of the data required by a view!

I'm wondering if they are going to bite the bullet and raise like Volcker.

But again I realized that I actually do not understand the source of inflation and how much contribution each source has. We all know that the war, Covid and monetary policy are three sources but are there other structural sources? What about the trade quarrel between US and China? How much does it hurt for each industry?

I should read some papers and talk to people in different industries to get some ideas.

Job market is on ice now, I used to get dozens of emails from recruiters every week, its trickled down to 1-2 now, which is nice as I am not looking to leave my company but its a stark contrast from 3+ months ago. And its a clear sign that companies are not hiring like they used to.
You could mean two things:

1. I won't be able to liquidate the ETH to USDC and transfer it to you => We can force me to liquidate using a DEX or Uniswap pool. Alternatively, if you're very worried about this, I'll just charge a higher premium and post USDC into the account. That's just a pricing problem

2. You won't be able to redeem the USDC I give you => You'll have to trust Circle here, yeah. If you don't trust their audits, we can use another stable coin, but I think USDC is more trustworthy than BUSD and there aren't pairs for ETH to very many other stable coins that have enough volume to keep the spread down so I can safely liquidate

Lots of Middle Eastern airlines. Qatar Air, Emirates, Air Arabia, Azerbaijan Airlines, all have flights out of Moscow that are still bookable according to ITA.
I don’t believe that’s what he said. He basically just pointed out that we should be careful not to speak of the Russian people as if they’re all innocent prisoners of this evil regime. It’s not a very accurate representation either.

I’m quoting him: “we are talking about the nation that invaded another country, targeting civilians, raping and murdering”. Did Putin himself do all of this? No, it was a significant part of the Russian people that did. An even larger portion of the Russian people supported these crimes. They (the people referred to here) are not innocent.

Edit: Just as a disclaimer, I do question the 70% stat. I don’t know where that comes from or if such a number can even be reliably acquired given the censorship that’s going on in Russia.
It's a coarse enough instrument that changing it only a few times a year still spreads the effect out over the whole year and even if it was continuous announcing a change in the rate of change will have exactly the same effect.
Manning's "crime" was much more severe than Snowden initial "crime". Snowden was more targeted and has a much better case at being a true whistleblower. Manning dumped a bunch of unrelated documents, many of them having little public value. Snowden did a better job of limiting the scope to specific issues. That suggests he would receive better treatment from politicians and the legal system. However he fled the country which eliminated any chance of leniency.

I believe Snowden fleeing was unethical because facing the consequences of breaking the law is an important part of civil disobedience. To quote MLK: "Any man who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community on the injustice of the law is at that moment expressing the very highest respect for the law." Snowden didn't "willingly accept the penalty" for his actions. At least part of the reason MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail was so powerful was because it was written from Birmingham Jail and not an apartment in Moscow. Snowden lost complete control of the ethical high ground because he chose exile over fighting this issue head on.

Represent a given set of audio inputs as a numeric vector, which can then for example be finetuned for other ML/AI problems or placed in an embeddings database for easy ANN search with similar audio clips. In the extreme case it could facilitate better AI audio generation similar to how CLIP can guide a VQGAN.

Although the 30 second minimum input is a bit of a bummer since it may not allow much granularity in the resulting embeddings.
Yeah, I tried to use automated transcription for a research project and we had to do it all manually because the few errors (I would say it did pretty well given our recording quality) were often dropping words like "not", which changed the whole meaning of a sentence! It was a useful assistance during transcription, but I really hope they would verify it was correct before arresting anyone based on it.

>Reading this would have been funnier had it not been for the behaviour we’ve seen this year.

until this year i've never wrote nor even thought this way. Until Feb 24 i still believed in my Old Country having a chance at playing great positive role in the world - i still thought that the harsh authoritarianism of Putin regime is a phase that will pass with minimal damage say once he dies. I hadn't noticed how instead it became Russian Nazism, "Rashizm" as its known, though all the signs have clearly been there at least during recent few years. It became clear on the Feb 24 though, and the 7 months since then have been showing it more and more, that the Russian society deeply poisoned by Rashizm has lost its ability to even minimally responsibly manage the great power stemming from such a large country and nukes in particular, and thus they lost any right to such a power, and became a menace to the world that must be taken care about.

> I've seen a lot of confidence on HN and other tech communities that a court would never rule that training an AI on copyrighted images is infringement, but I'm not so sure. To be clear, I hope that training AI on copyrighted images remains legal, because it would cripple the field of AI text and image generation if it wasn't!

Regardless of the copyright of the training data which really is unresolved, the copyright-ability of output of AI is questionable at best. There's no way to monetize the generated images for a stock art that isn't at risk of a court ruling pulling the rug from under it.

I primarily agree with you, but his primary point is mainly regarding the tendency for projects at large organizations to have a substantial number of unfished attempts to rework existing applications, which often results in serious headaches for whoever owns the code.

What I mean is that even if you've followed a specific set of programming principals, code practices and design patterns consistently across the life time of the application, there will still have been initiatives to change how things are done. Maybe they want to use a "better" authentication library, or add a material framework that has capabilities they need. The exact initiative, and how valid the request or decision is doesn't matter. These initiatives may occur one at a time, or be competing with each other for priority while being incompatible without anyone noticing. But some of them will fail to be completed, and someone has to back out the changes that shouldn't go to prod. Inevitably something will get left behind. Over 5-10 years this can have a shockingly large impact on the code base in ways engineers frequently notice but don't understand how the code got to the state its in.

This frequently means dead code, unused dependencies, comments that don't make any sense, properties on objects that are never displayed or referenced by business logic, and multiple classes/services which accept the same inputs and produce the same outputs but do the job just differently enough you can't be sure it's the same. That, and over abstractions (any piece of code which branches based on the context of "who's asking").

And frankly few things any me more than someone who felt the need to implement their own logging implementation, especially in C# (yes I know we're talking about React, but people do the same stupid crap in that case as well). Reinventing the wheel has to be done on occasion, but you need to ask yourself if it has to be you that makes it happen,and whether it already has been.

Can attest to this, numerous times I have been invited to dinner, helped tremendously for no reward and met with just pure humility from dalits (untouchables) when backpacking in India.

I am not claiming that people from other castes behaved badly, in contrary, but when you see how little those people have (ie 3 generations, or 10 members of family sleeping in 1 room 3x3m and that was their whole 'house' - just 4 super basic walls with no roof, nothing else).

It's very interesting to me that I've gotten two comments asking if I believe that conspiracies happen. Of course they happen. But it's pretty rare for a conspiracy to be responsible for everything bad happening to a person.

Most conspiracy theories are motivation theories - I believe that this group has a reason to collude for these reasons. If that motivation is real, it's entirely likely that something LIKE that conspiracy is happening or has happened. False Flag operations do exist, but not everything is a False Flag.

The problem with conspiracy theories is that when you start believing them, you start defending them, and that's when families get angry at each other and split and people get cut off from their usual support groups.

Yeah - GAAP definitely doesn’t work with crypto. Is eth an asset, currency, or inventory? If I’m a big crypto firm and I regularly use eth for chain fees, do I calculate that as a sale of an asset? If my eth has appreciated since it’s purchase, did I just make a sale?

When I’m adding liquidity to a common pair that I utilize a lot and get a divergent loss between the two assets, should that be impairment at the time of the transaction or only when all the coins are converted to USD?

I can go on and on and on about the impossibility to comply with tax regulations and crypto. I’m an avid crypto user, I like making bots for all the games, I think NFTs are cool and always like meeting the programmers turned artists, I participate in 10+ exchanges and 50+ liquidity pools across the map.

When it came time to do my taxes this last year, I had to hire a crypto specific tax person. His advice was that every time I transfer crypto off an exchange, it is ‘sold’ for that price and I have to pay taxes on the minuscule difference between my purchase price and the 10 seconds it take me to transfer into the meta verse. It’s literally impossible to do it otherwise.

Maybe we are using different definitions of "locked down." I just wanted to point out that there is a trade-off here. You are giving up some freedom that most DIY'ers would expect (arbitrary OS choice) by choosing the ChromeOS version.
