This looks super interesting as a concept... but has massive issues for me, despite the fact I feel like the product was practically made for the way my mind works... I genuinely want this, or something like this, and how I use Obsidian plugins is to try and work like this but clearly not as slick as a dedicated product... but despite how much I want this, I can't adopt a product that has not just one red flag but three. One red flag might be worth learning about to see if its just that good I can stomach the risk/pride/disgust/etc... but two or even three is just a complete non starter.

My massive red flags:

1st - It currently requires connecting a Google Account. I don't care about the encryption at rest and in transit, thats nice, you've still forced Google in between Me the customer and You the proprietor. My Google Account is my oldest, least wanted account. I've been slowly trying to purge it from my life, but its been growing since the day I got a gMail invite in the closed beta days. It's too personal it has way too much junk leftover from 16+ years of use across dozens of google services.

2nd - They promise that the data will always be exportable, yet I see nothing about formats or methods.

3rd - Its obviously a cloud SaaS ... all the stuff I think and put into something like this, a second brain if you will... should always be accessible. Offline functionality is mandatory

> Nothing is sustainable. The universe eventually goes cold. Are you saying anything more?

Our civilization is going to collapse long before the heat death of the universe, and honestly probably within the lifespan of people living today. We could at least try and soften the blow and stop doubling down on the same mindset that created most of the existential crises that face us today.
All forms of transportation could be made safer , if inside a vacuum and ignoring the economic reality ( cough, Boeing ).
> the bare minimum that typical end users need to know to stop systemd from breaking use cases that have worked for years?

That is bound to be a losing strategy. Systemd development (of breaking changes) is not stopping anytime soon. The simplest solution is to switch to an OS without systemd, like Devuan or Alpine or BSD.
> surprised at how long this list was

And those are only the ones who’ve been caught
The AI image generator is revealed to be a lossy compression algorithm which can recall near-identical images to the ones it was trained with. Therefore, the software is conveying copyrighted works. If somebody gave you the model, they violated copyright in doing so. If somebody runs the model on a server, they violated copyright in transmitting the image to you. If you, the recipient of that copyrighted work, go on to redistribute it, you have also violated the copyright. I don't see any difference between these image generators and code generators.
In fact, if you visit his IMDB page: <https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000175/>, you'll see that right at this moment, the population of a medium sized city is employed producing content based on his writing.
1. the amount of money it spends

yes, government spending increases, always. I'd need to be convinced this is inherently bad lol

2. the amount of interference in the workings of the marketplace, usually called "unfunded mandates" where they put burdens on businesses

What about subsidies, when businesses only exist because of government intervention at all? What about Harley Davidson? The banking sector?

> A much more limited government.

How limited? Is it allowed to prevent monopoly? You seem to know enough about the subject to know that making the state too limited will merely lead to the establishment of state power by monopolistic corporations instead, from plenty of historical examples.

Amateur storytellers will be replaced too… as this thing goes exponential, it will create a glut of content where previously we had scarcity.

In about 10 years from now, nearly all the activities - playing music, composing music, animation, live action footage etc. and yes storytelling — will all be mostly automated. And curation of them, too. It will be like you knitting your own sweaters… most people wouldn’t see the point. They could just buy an endless variety of shirts on Amazon.
> GPLv3 came to being because of TiVO pulled off a similar thing, and required its kernels to be signed by their own private key.

Actually TiVO didn't do that, instead they made their proprietary software running on top of Linux break when you modified Linux. The GPLv3 doesn't prevent that either, even though RMS wanted it to. Also, even GPLv2 requires users to be able to modify, rebuild and reinstall the vendor installed GPLed software.

As someone else pointed out, there is work in OpenID Connect to support this model.

The difference is that traditional Connect is typically a two party model - an OpenID Provider which gives claims which can be used for registration/authentication, and a Relying Party willing to accept them. This is an active dance back and forth, with the OpenID Provider deciding how to implement privacy, what records to keep on usage, prompting for user consent, etc.

Verifiable Credentials have Issuers and Verifiers which map reasonably well into these roles, but also an end user agent in the middle which acquires credentials, holds onto them and presents them with user consent.

While the verifier needs to still know who the issuer is to know if it should trust the data, the issuer no longer needs any relationship whatsoever with the verifier. The issuer does not see where credentials are being used, or (for credentials with selective disclosure) which information is being disclosed.
It's a technological shithole. Half their countries tech doesn't is not made based on proper rules and regulations. Resulting in poor performing and dangerous tech. The amount of accidents is astronomical and nobody seems to care. Most of their machines are direct copies of western equivalents.
So no I am absolutely not impressed by their achievements.

Well both of your cases are things I happen to agree with just shouldn't be necessary anyway lol, like most of the times I'm giving up an email it's not because I want to get emails from these jerkwads that are trading some small amount of service for the right to blast me with marketing emails (and they ALWAYS ignore my choice on the "please don't send market emails" checkbox, if they even have one). And news stories that aren't served over RSS are ones I don't want to read... i hate the modern state of the internet-as-capitalist-entity.

So I don't disagree on merit alone, but it seems if we wanna do a good capitalism, we need to make sure people are actually giving us real emails apparently
It doesn't matter what any of us think. The genie is out of the bottle and cannot be put back because unlike pirating existing media, this new style pirates the whole style.

At the very top of this page, there are two features listed which will be removed in the future.

This means that anyone who relies on this feature is now tasked with all the extra work and cognitive load of finding replacements for those features, changing and testing their configuration, and the risk of deploying these changes.

To me, that is a "non-consensual" change, and I try to avoid any technology that has a history of these non-consensual changes, because I want my systems to run without extra maintenance.
Very interesting approach, and nice to see someone tackling that problem area! You see a hundred blog posts of "why you should experiment with your pricing", but actually doing that is often such a pain that nobody ends up doing that (and admittedly the reason why I would have shied away from such projects in the past).

Two things that come to mind:

- What are your plans like regarding the integration of entitlement checking in the service and SDK? As far as I can tell, that's still a missing piece? I really love how oso[0] has managed to separate the authorization checking from the authorization definition via their DSL and SDKs. Ever since I saw that, I was wondering if a very similar system could work for entitlement checking.

- I think where your system could provide a lot of benefit would be in help tracking usage metrics that can be harder to calculate (and with that more of a pain to use). It's already nice not having to implement a simpler "number of action N taken the last billing period" metric. However something like a "N number of active users last billing period", where you now would also have to keep track of which users you have already seen before to prevent double-counting them becomes increasingly annoying to implement.

I think that's significantly different because that heartbleed gave attackers potentially sensitive information as opposed to just crashing.
Given that humanity has only existed for ~200,000 years, and the threats you've mentioned are unknown but likely millions or billions of years in the future, is it fair to say it's a "temporary paradise?"

If we could live another ten, one hundred, or a thousand of humanity's lifetimes, that's not temporary in any meaningful sense.

To put it differently: making plans today for the earth's demise due to the sun's expansion is a rather extreme case of premature optimization.
AI for code-gen is not nearly as developed or impressive as image-gen.

> Should glibc also be optional? What about the Linux kernel? What about apt-get?

In my opinion, yes, they should absolutely be optional. Whether or not that is feasible today does not change the advantages of each component of the system being optional and replaceable. It is more failure tolerant both from a purely technical perspective, and also from an organizational perspective.
It looks really nice. One thing though, is that I seem to remember that it used to be single threaded, so it would slow down a lot once your colony had more than 100 dwarves or so. Is this still the case?
It’s also why inflation has been so stubborn.

Anyone who owned ANY assets practically doubled their net worth within 2 years. If you owned a house, you likely also refinanced for under 3%. At the same time, wages increased.

How can there be a drop in demand if your house is now worth 50-100%, your 401k is 50% higher, and your wages are 20% higher?

Sure, this doesn’t describe everyone - the bottom 50%ile might not own any assets at all. But it does describe enough Americans that demand can’t crater anytime soon.
> 0% of the top 50 on Twitter are primarily known for their tweets.

Why limit yourself to the top 50? 0% of all Twitter users are primarily known for their tweets. Tweets are, by design, unsuitable for publishing content. They're useful for advertising content you publish somewhere else.
Doubtful anyone is going to throw money at you for some random idea, that you won’t even invest some of your free time on. You clearly don’t value it, so no one else will.
JWT is a way to express claims. JWS is the underlying data format.

JWTs are still profiled for their usage - the JWT you use under ACMEv2 is going to be different than the ID Tokens you get from OpenID Connect, or some bespoke cookie format by a product/site.

A VC-JWT is a profile JWTs for use with Verifiable Credentials. Part of this is adding new claims to hold JSON-LD formatted credential / presentation data.
Right now, to remember shit I use collections and favorites in browser and also text files. How will recall make it easier to remember shit?
With the expected increase in temperatures and forecasts of drought/flood extremes, we should expect agriculture to adapt to 21st century modeling.

The climate and terrain are different everywhere, so these changes may be regional efforts instead of global.

Its not the same old song and dance, whatever it is.
To be fair, hashing phone numbers is mostly pointless since the search space is too small.
Void Linux doesn't use systemd because it doesn't build against musl libc. Void ships musl and glibc packages for multiple CPU architectures and has a very lively development team and update cycle. It's not dead, it's just not insanely huge, either.
Trained models don't have the actual images inside, they have summed up gradients. So what they are doing is far from a copy&paste job, it's more like decomposing and recomposing from basic concepts, something made clear by the "variations" mode.

Among the things the model learned are some un-copyrightable facts, such as the shapes of various objects and animals, how they relate, their colours and textures - general knowledge for us, humans. Learning this is OK because you can copyright the expression, but not the idea.

Trained models take little from each example they learn. The original model shrunk 4B images to a mere 4GB file, so 1 byte/image worth of information learned from each example, a measly pixel. The DreamBooth finetuning process only uses 20-30 images from the artist, it's more like pinning the desired style than learning to copy. Without Dreambooth its harder but not impossible to find and use a specific style.

And the new images are different, combining elements from the prompt, named artists and general world knowledge inside. Can we restrict new things - not copies - from being created, except in patents? Isn't such an open ended restriction a power grab? To make an analogy: can a writer copyright a style of writing, and anything that has a similar style be banned?
I suspect the low numbers are related to production and supply chain issues. You still need to wait for months to buy one.

Also most Tesla customers would buy a Y these days.

I see many X in Norway, which has a lot of rain and snow. What are the issues you mention?
What's even worse is this problem is not bound to Google. Almost all search engines delivering more and more unrelated results as time passes by.
Well think if you took the left side of Mona Lisa and combined it with Van Gog's Starry night? Would that be ok? Of course not.

But if you took 100 paintings from 100 artists and clipped all into small jigsaw pieces then recombined them randomly to create a new picture, that would probably not be considered "derived art".

What matters is how much creativity you put into the process. Does the creative esthetics of the work derive from your efforts, or from those of the existing author's existing art.

But if I took 100 paintings from a single artist and combined them all into new works of art, that would probably be copyright infringement in my view, and is what seems to be happening here.

Consider the history of trademark lawsuits. You can be sued if you create something that somehow resembles an existing trademark, say use the exact same color as Coca-Cola for something similar.

So I think the guiding principle is or should be whether what you create can be confused with the work of some other highly original artist. It doesn't matter if you painted it all, if it looks similar enough that people could confuse it with the original artist's work, you are infringing.
I feel for her, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with this and there is no going back.

These are original derivatives. In the same way a human is inspired by other arts and may mimic their style, machines can too, they’re just way more efficient. What are they going to do? It feels unfair to punish the machine simply for being more efficient than humans.

Instead, artists need to find a novel way to generate revenue by leveraging their uniqueness. Perhaps using Stable Diffusion themselves and turning their creations into NFTs to prove their authenticity.
But a little too late still. It's not nearly massive enough -- even the most crude mental exercise: China has ~4x the population of the US, so the US needs to 4x current onshore output levels while keeping prices low to meet demand to prevent inflation.
One of them sold recently and we can put a pretty solid number on its value.
> Which is more valuable? Which would you rather want?

Today or in 50 years? I'm pretty sure an iphone in 50 years will be worthless but the raw materials that made it will probably be even more valuable than they are today.
Doesn’t feel like any real change. If the intention was to scare away VC money, it isn’t working. There is no real fear yet.

For one, no one believes that they’ll keep raising the rates. Strong belief that the Fed will “pivot” soon. Even the Fed keeps whispering about it.

Honestly, the economy just can’t work anymore without QE. Investors know this. The Fed knows this. It’s completely unsustainable, but they’re all fine as long as they don’t have to clear the mess.

This makes sense. I run Linux and have no interest in adobe software. It does seem like sometimes it’s tricky to use RawTherapee, but so far I’ve been happy with the results. I got a used Canon Pro 100 photo printer and I’ve been printing 13x19” (A3+) photos edited with RawTherapee. I’m not using it professionally or anything, but I’ve been very happy with it for my use!
Currently, the compiler does a dumb conversion to JS for loop of self tail calls. So if you call `map` on list of 1000000 items, your stack wont blow up. But I understand it is not enough for many non-trivial codebases. We were interested in doing more general TCO, and had some ideas around using trampolines (or iirc detecting mutually recursions and then trying to generate potentially a bit faster code). Had limited time, and was maybe too hopeful that eventually TCO will actually be supported by browsers (as it is part of standard).
You are drastically underselling the amount of emergent intelligence that comes from $500,000 of Stable Diffusion training.

This is not merely "averaging" input images. It can literally understand human speech.

I upgraded from an Xs Max to a 14 partway through a road trip this year. The massive difference between these phones is in video (and particularly stabilisation) but I’ve also enjoyed the 0.5 and 2-3x options on the camera.

I haven’t had enough wifi to backup to iCloud and free up space to work in raw/48MP, but you can see the sorts of shots here with the stock app and 12MP.

I am carrying a GoPro, an Osmo Pocket, an Insta360 Go 2, two drones and the two phones - the 14 is the one I used as a priority because the quality and options were so good.

Raku (nee Perl 6) is GIL-free IIRC. So are Julia and Erlang/Elixir, for sufficiently-loose definitions of "scripting language". The list probably goes on.
Just because you can buy a knife to kill someone discreetly, doesn't mean that we should just give up on the idea of making murder illegal.

Of course "killing someone" and "copying someone's artwork" are at different levels, however, I'm sure artists would beg to differ.
