> [...] it's pretty inconceivable that the model could become copyrightable without becoming a derivative work of the training data.

Another perspective that may become important is the fact that not all cultures share the same interpretation of copyright. In Japan there was a case in which a court ruled that selling a memory card with preloaded save data for a video game was a breach of the original work's integrity.[1]

This I think will get greater attention in the near future because a large portion of the interest in SD stems from generating new art derived from the styles of art on Pixiv, a Japanese website. The data for many popular forks of SD like Waifu Diffusion and the proprietary NovelAI model were sourced from Western sites like Danbooru, which has been known for violating copyright and artist takedown requests by reposting art without the creator's permission for many years. With the sheer popularity of SD and the fact that so much of the innovation came off of the backs of thousands of artists who weren't so much as asked for consent, it remains to be seen if attitudes towards those sites and this process of mass-scale data collection will remain the same in the near future.

I also have to wonder what the implications would have been if NovelAI ended up launching what is now the leaked model as a paid service, given the unresolved question of consent that surrounds the original data.

HN and the people who support SD can have their own opinions about copyright not applying in this specific case. They can delve into the technicalities of why they think the models are not copyrightable. But even beyond legal means, the artists can still ask the programmers to take everything down, and potentially be refused. The insistence that "it's different in this case" can break the hearts of people that see the world differently.

I think this will be a debate that transcends arguing over the technicalities of copyright, involving fundamentally differing cultural values of how the acts of creation and reproduction should be treated with respect. It will not end with "how will this fit into the existing (Western-centric) framework of copyright," but "what is the right thing to do."

I have been using it for the last weeks. It’s nice, although I didn’t have good luck with the documentation. I think some of the examples and capabilities are lacking, and the procedure for reporting/asking something seemed really convoluted with respect to something more plain like GitHub. Furthermore, another problem that I have is that sometimes I lose connection to the mail servers, and it’s imposible to recover it without closing and reopening the app. I am missing something like reconnect/refresh.

I think its important to share few negatives about D

1. It have no edge, its not the best system language, and far from a good application language (mainly because of the eco system)

2. Fragile community, low number of user and the community forum is toxic frequently

3. It doesnt have strong leadership, D doesnt have a good roadmap, and constantly changing vision

4. Its a big language, and considering the drawbacks, its too big to have such critical drawbacks

I cant really think of any solid reason, why anyone would invest in D, except if they are already knee deep into it for some historical reasons

D is not a horrible language, but today there are so many better choices, and the language is too big, to risk investing in it

Ask HN: How to stand out while searching for an internship
Hi,

I'm currently looking for an internship as the last step before getting my diploma and I was wondering what could make me stand out from other applicants. I'm taking the traditional route with LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, etc, but I feel like my resume doesn't even reach a real person and I had no luck so far. Are there ways to connect with employers in a more productive and different way? If someone could share their experience I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

The hardware looks pretty good. I bought a HP reverb G2 because it had the highest resolution. While not bad, i learned that resolution isn't everything as the picture is pretty blurry anywhere except dead ahead due to the Fresnel lenses, so the new pancake lenses sound promising. I also don't get motion sickness and might be interested in working in VR if the readability is good. My only other hold up is that even at 36 years old and using computers since I was 5, I still don't type properly and do occasionally look down at the keyboard lol. Would be great if the forward facing cameras will allow this.

Incorrect, for these aren't the same thing: one has existed for a long time and the other is a sudden change. The latter begs an explanation, and it's there: deliberate management manipulation of the candidate pool. It's therefore understandable that co-workers will see such hires/promotions as based in part on factors beyond performance.

It wouldn’t necessarily.

But it would stop the person from doing evil as a doctor.

The lab coat alone carries weight that magnifies the amount of evil that an evil person can do.

A doctor or nurse that kills patients out of evil, leveraging their position of being able to see patients, should obviously not be allowed to see patients.

Similarly, programmers that do evil, leveraging their position of being able to program a computer for a company, should obviously not be allowed to program for a company.

Setting aside things like rehabilitation, of course.

But there are definitely documented cases of doctors and nurses using their power to kill or to abuse the disadvantaged.

Taking away that power, once it is abused, is key.

Great question. My understanding is that it is a big deal for a few reasons:

- these _are_ practice teeth in a way. So let's practice proper dental care now so we don't ruin the adult teeth later.

> Does NILFS do checksums and snapshotting for every single file in the system?

NILFS is, by default, a filesystem that only ever appends until you garbage collect the tail. It doesn't really "snapshot" in the way that ZFS or btrfs do, because you can just walk the entire history of the filesystem until you run out of history. The snapshots are just bookmarks of a consistent state.
that's a good point and I didn't think about that.

As rossdavidh mentioned, a country may not join NATO while at war even if one calls it a military operation. If either or both countries joined while at war then all NATO countries would be obligated to join in, thus solidifying a full scale WW3.

So I think your question is really how long would it take for WW3 to end and I guess that depends on tactics used. Probably less than a few years and I have no idea whom or what would remain.

We use Xpra extensively with linux as the server and all 3 clients, Linux, MacOS, and Windows, and it works extremely well, even in fairly latency and bandwidth challenged situations, like an LTE link, and also across oceans.

Are there any seamless/floating equivalent systems for server side being MacOS and Windows and client is Linux?

I’ve seen hints somewhere there is a seamless mode hidden in some RDP servers and clients, which perhaps for windows to Linux might work.

How about MacOS? any system, maybe even commercial than can provide seamless windows to a remote Linux client?

Whatever the opposite of a killer app is called (maybe "app killer"?) this is it.

Even if it afflicts a relatively small number of users, it's a serious problem. Besides terrible PR (people less likely to try it because of the risk of a bad experience) it's the fact that any technology that arbitrarily excludes some non-tiny portion of the population is problematic for broad acceptance.

Most of the advice only works in a scenario where there is symmetry in the power between managers and those they manage, or asymmetry in favor of those being managed.

>There is a way to get quality performance data, on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, in a meaningful way on things that are most important to the organization.

I'm very skeptical of this. Performance can very easily be gamed or influenced by the environment. Asymmetry between people even in the same team is a huge factor as to why performance reviews are complete bollocks in most skilled work.

> You can say black holes are holes in spacetime with a big rock at the bottom.

The more I've thought about this, the more it seems wrong. Black holes are not a hole in spacetime like a puncture hole in fabric. There is no missing spacetime like there would be missing fabric. Black holes are more accurately a round 4D valley in spacetime rather than a hole in spacetime.
"Rules made by society" is exactly why it is relevant here.
Wow, the form factor is simply amazing. I thought this would be a tethered headset (e.g. you'd need to connect it to a PC), but it seems that it's all-in-one, which explains the price.

Just compare how small these goggles are to some other VR headsets. It's amazing. I'm sure they made some tradeoffs to get there, but this is a giant leap forward.

And also Xcode. And breaking existing functionality.

But, in the end, it boils down to the fact that "developers, developers, developers" just isn't an Apple mantra (viz: Jobs' initial reluctance to open an appstore).

They know that, as long as they corral a lot of paying customers the developers will keep coming, no matter how many problems they throw in the way.

Same here. I wish I could do the same with a Windows VM and a remote MacOS host.

I agree, lobbyists are out of control and would love to take money out of politics.

However, Biden admin is trying to take California's AB5 national. This is obvious. Its the same people pushing for it. Alot of people, across all political opinion and backgrounds, oppose these labor laws.

To me, this is less about gig work and unionization, and more about independent contractor freedom. Big government doesn't like self employment. The union piece is just a bone the politicians will throw to repay some favors. I'm worried that one day, all workers will have to be classified as w-2, which is a boon to corporate interests, and the feds. This is why I oppose this, because it'll set some new precedent.

Its already happened in places like Australia, where their federal government brokered a deal between Uber and a large union. I imagine the architects behind this idea have a very similar plan in mind. Look at police and teacher unions in the US - total disaster. Those have very close ties to the government, as will this. This isn't some grassroots unionization effort. I view this gig worker classification as an extension of that, given the federal governments zeal for this issue.

I'm really looking forward to the client implementation. I worked on a Rust NTP server where I used to work. It was truly faster than ntpd or chrony, which is a meaningful benefit when you're talking about something that sends out data about clocks and time.

Unfortunately the server is relatively easy to build. The client, however, is where a LOT of the intelligence and difficulty lies.
From experience, if you're a heavy-sleeping teenager like I used to be, the noise is less of an issue ;) I don't think I could cope with the sound of two fans and three HDs spinning nowadays, but back then it was a tiny price to pay for the coolness of having a real server in my bedroom.

Nowadays I just run an RPi3, which is silent and takes very little power.
It's unclear why Rust was chosen over OCaml or Haskell.
