I lived 3 mins from Asagaya station (10 mins to Shinjuku) with my wife in a 23m2 apartment for 70k yen ($475) and loved it, very sunny apartment in a bustling neighborhood, tons of great street life, with everything I needed arranged very compactly. It requires an adjustment that location, not space, is the luxury (don’t invite friends over, go places with them). Probably part of why there are always so many people on the streets everywhere.
I feel like a broken record on this topic lately, but I strongly believe that training ML models on copyrighted works should be legal.

It is clear to anyone that understands this tech that it is not simply "memorizing" or "copying" the training data, even if they can be coaxed into doing this for certain inputs (in the current iteration of the tools).

Ultimately, I think the problem of reproducing certain popular works or code snippets will be solved. One interesting direction here are the tools of information theory and differential privacy. e.g) proving that certain training inputs cannot be recovered from the weights, or that there is a threshold of how much information can be gleaned from a single input.

It is easy to imagine (because its nearly there already) a future version of StableDiffusion (or CoPilot) which provably compresses all training data beyond any possibility of recovery, and yet still produces extremely convincing results which disrupt the creative professions of art and programming.

Until we get to that point, it feels like the only consistent and sensible place to apply regulations is with the model end user. When I use CoPilot, I accept the small (honestly overblown) risk that _maybe_ I won't have the license to use some small snippet of code it spits out. But I'm happy to wear that responsibility, because the boost to productivity is so great that I dread a return to pre-CoPilot world. That is, a world where everyone keeps reinventing the same solution to simple problems over and over and over again.
The royal society is a catch-all group that covers more than just scientists, but that was a nice argument from authority.

Please email me at tim@loadedreports.com to apply or ask any questions about the roles.
A powerful entity such as...an open source company like Stable Diffusion?
Don't worry, if the West doesn't come around to your way of thinking, China will.
> Use of the output of systems like Copilot or Stable Diffusion becomes a violation of copyright.

That really should depend upon the output.

Many, if not most, people learn an art by imitating the style of established artists. Some will carry on with that style. Others will develop their own, though it will probably always carry elements from those they imitated. Should injecting a machine into the process automatically make it illegal?

There are going to be clear cut cases where it should be, cases where so much is imitated that it goes beyond style and into substance. Yet that means we should have a human looking at the output to determine if it is too close to a copy, rather than banning AI generated art altogether. To do so would put the creative process in peril. This is not because machine learning reflects our definition of creativity. Rather it is because it is difficult to define what human creativity itself is.

(That said, I do believe that using the artist's name as a way of promoting their own work is stepping over a line.)
What's an example of an open protocol (what this thread is about) where MSFT successfully followed this strategy?
Fair enough, I am not advocating for that project, but it is close in spirit to what was described in the parent comment.

Aside from that, I personally do not see the issue with being able to opt into automatic crypto payments for browsing time, vs seeing nothing at all from the same. The default behaviour for unverified creators is that it goes into some internal pool for marketing, which is a bit sketchy though yeah.
The verifiable presentation is not just the credential; it should be signed by the holder, and that can include a 'domain' to specify the intended recipient and a challenge token to guard against replay.

It's always contingent on the recipient of an identity proof to verify that it's valid; I'm not sure I understand the criticism to be honest.
I'm not sure Betteridge really works directly in this case, because the headline is kind of implicitly Should we avoid messing with asteroid orbits.
Perhaps Elon's plan is to completely ruin and thus bankrupt Twitter. Then use it as the biggest business write-off in history? Can it work that way?
I fairly recently bought a fanless Shuttle barebone with a modern Intel CPU, that produced unbearable coil whine. It too became silent when kept busy. What solved it was disabling C-states and P-states.
This seems to me like SSI minus the blockchain – which seems like a good idea. A widely used schema for verifiable statements seems incredibly useful.
I like the concept, but I'm not sure I'm the target audience.

I do a lot of browsing/research from my phone, and I would love a method of better categorizing things than sharing a url to myself on slack.

I would love something like this that I could quickly hit with a share sheet from iOS, add some quick notes/tags, and then just keep on browsing. Bonus if it could include a screenshot that I could markup/highlight or automatically take an archive.is snapshot of the site for later backup reference(I've lost many research references over the years due to link rot).
I am technically held to a non-compete by my employer, but it honestly never crosses my mind. If push came to shove and I wanted to move on to somewhere they had a problem with, I feel like odds are tiny that they'd do anything close to trying to enforce it. It's a terrible look to come after your employees based on a non-compete, and I bet most brand-conscious employers would think twice about the value in actually testing it.
I don't think that's the goal. I think the goal is to reasonably be able to know a checkmark isn't a bot.
I said Getty is the highest profile victim, not the only victim. They're the ones making waves.
> It's a bit like saying we can't stop music piracy, now that Napster exists.

AI art is unknown territory. Comparing this to media piracy (e.g. copying music) leads to a fallacy.

Specifically: where does fair use stop?
And consider: Good artists copy; great artists steal. Any art historian will be able to show you how true this is accross all epochs and styles (and types of art no less, i.e. including e.g. music)[1].

Anything that follows is OT for the debate at hand. It is merely to point out that while not only not applying here (AI art is derivatives/remixed works not simple copies), the notion that the P2P crackdown and its legal repercussions of the early 2000's had anything to do with how much someone creating the music in the very first place got paid is a myth perpetuated by the music industry. Specifically that part of the music industry that is not the artists.

> Remember the naive rallying cry among those who thought everyone should have the right to all music, without any compensation for the artist?

The only naivity is that compensation of artists played a role in this. Piracy was never noticable for musicians who weren't already stinking rich. And for those, while noticable, it wasn't an issue. One may argue it was/is for people high up in the food chain of the music industry. But even that stands on feet of clay. From [2]:

> The main finding of the present study is that in 2014, the recorded music industry lost approximately €170 million of sales revenue in the EU as a consequence of the consumption of recorded music from illegal sources. This total corresponds to 5.2% of the sector’s revenues from physical and digital sales. These lost sales are estimated to result in direct employment losses of 829 jobs.

There are approx. two million people being employed by this industry in the EU[3]. Go figure.

For further reading on the funny idea that artists got compensated before P2P and didn't after there is Courtney Love's classic debunking piece on musician's revenue around the time Napster was a thing[4].

And some comparable numbers from what this means for artists trying to make a living of digital music today [5][6].

[1] My father was an art historian. My opinion is mainly based on spending every holiday of my youth looking at art from all epochs across Europe, first hand. Nolens volens I may add. I.e. I'm saying: take my word for it. :]

It just adds to it, your standard shell history is still there and completely unaffected by this tool. And if you prefer using your native shell's control-r you can also do that.

It does not (though if you think it should, please open an issue and I'm happy to add this!)

Ah thanks! Updating.
I wasn't aware of the business model, merely that it's conceptually similar, if a bit "web 3.0" in implementation. Not sure it's any worse than browsing with an ad blocker, in which case the websites get 0 revenue, crypto or otherwise.

> If you mostly use it as a social network between your friends you might not care because they’ll presumably see your tweets because they follow you rather than because they found them in search or whatever.

One would think, but I rarely see tweets from people I follow.

For example, I just scrolled my feed, and 51 out of the first 60 tweets were from strangers (the other 9 were either tweets or retweets from people I follow). One of the tweets was even from Taylor Swift. I have no idea why Twitter thought I'd want to see that, since I mostly just follow devs. Downranking people who don't pay the subscription means I'm going to see even less of those devs than I already am.

If you scroll back through my post history, you'll see me singing Twitter's praises and telling people that they just need to curate their feed if they don't like what they're seeing. This is no longer the case. I admit defeat.

Thanks - we aim to have a broader set of chains and testnets, that can all be queried from a single endpoint. We also provide a couple of things that make it easier to deal with media, like cached versions and preview sizes via a CDN. We also pull in active floor prices and collection metadata from multiple marketplaces, even when it's stored off-chain.
I find it hilarious how you will "voluntarily" enter your phone number or email into their service to check if it already exists! I might be paranoid, but what prevents FB from storing this new data if it is not already there?! I think this sort of behavior should be clearly articulated in the next update of the GDPR if it is not already addressed.
So from I understand only companies that can pay 100k can make their employees sign non-compete, and keep this big firm’s technology secret, whereas a startup that cannot pay 100k, its tech can be openly shared.. … ………..
It is much simpler to explain that in this article: centralization is inevitable because the UI/UX you use for entering any protocol (decentralized or not) is centralized. Hence the UI/UX could decide what to show and the order.

It could be call "the listing problem", you can decentralize Amazon (e.g. OpenBazaar) but at the end the app you use to list the product could censor and filter what they want without caring about the protocol behind.
Professional piano movers don’t cost that much (I’ve had my grand moved twice). I’d never attempt it myself, even for a moderately sized upright!

On free pianos - usually there’s a reason they’re free… They’re often inherited, old, under-maintained and need a several thousand dollars of work to bring up to a decently usable standard (the felt degrades, so all the damper and hammer felts often need replacing, possibly even strings). But spending that much on a new Yamaha would probably get you something better sounding…
I got into Twitter six months ago for work and it took me a lot of time and patience and looking around to grok. You tried Mastodon for one day. I don't know what to tell you other than I am deeply saddened your comment is the current top. It reads as the dismissal of someone who doesn't like new things and just wished it was like their old thing. You will never satisfy people like this.
I doubt it. It would be so much harder for him to borrow money in the future.
Target | Lead Engineer - Full Stack | Full-time | Remote (US only) or Hybrid (Brooklyn Park, MN)

This is a full stack role to help build custom tooling for Target's security organization. The team's focus is on building a new custom Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform for our 24/7/365 Incident Response team.

Especially interested in engineers with experience in Temporal (or other Workflow Orchestration platforms) and stream-processing systems like Benthos. Security experience is a huge plus. Key languages: Javascript/Typescript, Python, Go.

Good team, good people, a significant opportunity to try new and novel things.

https://jobs.target.com/job/brooklyn-park/lead-engineer-soar...
That might be true in some countries.
The best explanation I've seen thus far, assuming there aren't other complicating factors (which there often are) is that the immune system stays hyperactive in some people after infection. This causes excess production of IL-6 and IL-10, which in turn causes something called the kynurenine shunt. That in turn results in lowered central serotonin rates in the brain and heightened glutamate. This off balance results in lowered dopamine as the production of serotonin and dopamine are comingled. Dopamine usually breaks down to your typical epinephrine and norepinephrine levels. But since dopamine is at a lowered state, you get less epinephrine and norepinephrine. I'm guessing, but do not know the pathway, that lowered epinephrine and norepinephrine explain the lowered cortisol.

Either way, the treatment should be the same. Take a corticosteroid to lower the IL6 & 10 levels, ensure the patient is getting proper sleep and nutrients, and not doing anything to exacerbate lowered serotonin/dopamine levels, and cross your fingers.

I've started to hear of companies that are testing for elevated cytokines as a proof of long covid, and my family member's hospital has started educating their staff on cytokine release syndrome in the rare patient who has a reaction to a vaccine shot, both of which, for me, imply the industry might be moving in this direction for explanation. fingers crossed
You ask them. And you probably have little interest in seeing a copy in my example. Just if there is one.

Yes, they can presumably lie to you. But if you then so much as get a letter from a lawyer at that point, you fire them at a minimum.
> As an aside, top talent definitely does NOT work at Elon’s companies.

This is just not true. There's tons of exceptional engineers working at various of Elon's companies. Would you really claim that SpaceX doesn't have world-class engineers?
Tell us something about it. Why should I use this, and not a more established social network?

I'm curious, but it seems really slow.
Erlang is really good for programming highly-scalable and fault tolerant distributed systems. It was designed by Ericsson (large Telco manufacturer from Sweden) for running on Telco equipment that has extremely stringent uptime and availability requirements.

This is pretty cool! Do you have ways for elegantly handling grandfathering old customer plans, scheduled rollouts of new pricing, etc? I think more than testing/changing the value of the $tier_2_price variable is how you communicate and/or apply it to existing customers.
Covariant.ai | Senior Software Engineer (multiple teams) | Full-time | Emeryville, CA, USA or Remote

Covariant is an AI robotics company that is advancing the state of the art in robotic picking. We are applying our extensive background in ML research to solve real-world material handling problems for customers by building both APIs and full-stack robotics solutions. We have raised money from top firms like Index and Amplify as well as from renowned names in AI like Jeff Dean, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yann LeCun.

We are looking for folks with and without robotics experience as we hire and scale the company. Open positions include:

The tech stack is pretty varied since we are a full-stack robotics company. I am the hiring manager for the Infrastructure team, which isn't currently hiring, but feel free to reach out to me with questions! (jay at covariant dot ai)
That’s a nice and probably fair law. If you do wish to restrict your employees in what they do post employment then you need to pay them. I wouldnt mind sitting around getting half pay.
Interestingly, she doesn't mind the fact a model was created so much as the commandeering of her name and identity associated to it. Literally everything it produces is associated to her ... whether it's beautiful pictures or CSAM.

In this respect I'm curious what right people have in general to object if someone falsely associates your name with something. It's not even an AI question really. If I create a different kind of morally objectionable software under the name "Elon Musk" and represent that it embodies his style and personality, can he object to that? If I run a brothel under his name? At what point are natural names effectively implicit trademarks where the person inherits some kind of legal right to control or object about how it's used?
I recall seeing discovery features on the list of developments along with federated groups. A lot is under active development. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues
I wish I could remember where I saw this to credit (and not paraphrase), but I saw a tweet which said, basically: "Twitter somehow got Stephen King, Taylor Swift and thousands of others to produce content for them for free. And now they want to lose them over $20/month?"
>I disagree. Diverse input results in better conversations – less of an echo chamber, less black and white thinking, more visibility for other viewpoints, more empathy.

Is this your experience with Twitter?
The DMV (or whoever issues widely accepted identity documents in your country) could also provide a service that can exchange precise assertions to more private ones, i.e. one that allows the following transaction:

You provide a document stating that "Mr. Foo Bar is depicted on this photo and was born on 1990-04-01" signed by them, and get one that just says "the person depicted on this photo is over 18/21", also signed by them.

This would save you a trip to the issuer.
You're right, it feels like spitting in someone's face while they're down.

But almost always people are well-meaning when they make these comments about wealth as an abstract concept. It's just that their privilege makes it difficult for them to see how condescending it can come off as.

I think your reminder is valuable, and I appreciate you highlighting that. Maybe you might be able to give that perspective to people who don't have it yet.
Why s6 over other options? I've long considered switching from arch to something without systemd since I use almost zero systemd features but have not had time to discern which init system to use.
>RISC-V is great, I am all for it, but let's be realistic

ARM was starting to pick up, but that's not happening anymore.

It is a good thing, as we can skip ARM and go straight to RISC-V.
It's not any different if there's true craft to it. The person in this article and many of the examples are who I'm referencing as not an artist or making art. I would imagine the person that wrote the article doesn't call himself an artist either.

I'm not arguing that the tools can't be used to create art and I'm not trying to say "real" artists don't use these. What I'm trying to say is the images I've mostly seen look like illustrations and content machines.

Personally, these tools are incredible and are almost magic in a sense.

Edit: To put it another way a writer can still write if his keyboard stops working, a carpenter can still build if his saw breaks, an illustrator can still draw if their tablet dies.

Changes to the interpretation of Section 230 are coming.

Deperately-needed, long overdue "regulation" will come in the form of liability for mega-sized websites like Facebook that choose to algorithmically curate and use other web users' content to generate profits.

People who develop free, open source alternatives for communicating directly over the internet should be ready for a possible mass exodus away from using so-called social media websites for communication.

The Twitter mess is only going to make it more clear to everyone, including Supreme Court justices, that "social media" is a moral hazard, not a legitimate business model.

Granted, I could be wrong. Time will tell.
The armed forces are probably not the best example. There tend to be pretty severe consequences to just deciding you don’t want to be in the Army any longer.
