People want cars, defence wants rockets. People use twitter, but in the list of things that are required in the future. A terse environment for people to shitpost each other may not be essential.

I'm curious about your gripes with Wikipedia. I donate regularly because it's still growing more useful to me year after year and has resisted ads and obscene partnerships.
Yeah, I'll believe the "tightening" when I see it. Balance sheet still astronomically high. Banks are not being forced to hold dollars. Current Govt Admin spending like drunken sailors. The only difference is we have higher interest rates which is straining regular people. It's a race to see if inflation actually comes down or economy goes to shit. Or both together all at once?

There is extensive research on the wealth effect.

It blows my mind that in a hypercapitalist society like the US, that copyrights still exist. Copyrights are a massive violation of property rights, criminalizing merely observing something and independently reproducing it with your own private materials for your own non-commercial use. IMO it shakes to the core free market, capitalist, and founding principles of our nation.
Unsurprising. Ads and user data are a bubble.

We've been doing significant research using HTM[1][2][3][4] w/ SDR[5] similar to the proprietary implementation of Semantic Folding[6] and were able to classify literally gigabytes of documents per second on FPGAs. HTM aims to resemble the architecture of the Neocortex.

I simply don't understand why literally everyone immediately jumps at CNNs, RNNs (transformers et al.) -- they're extremely expensive, slow and definitely not usable for SIGINT-sized intel projects.

Unless local law forbids Walmart allows free camping. There are also truck stops all over that will let RVs camp overnight (they might object to a slide out). Of course there are campgrounds all over as well.

It's the BSD 2-clause license, a very old, very widely-used, and very respectable open source license:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses

We've added one additional clause EXPLICITLY PROHIBITING use in systems like Copilot.

There's no ambiguity. Training your language model is a direct and unequivocal violation of clause 3.

If this is not adequate to prevent Copilot-style intellectual property theft then nothing is.

How else can we protect ourselves from Copilot-style use without attribution?
I'm talking about upgrading a non-LTS release to an LTS release.
I wish that were true. I've seen it in person (of course, this is not representative of every team every day --but it also occurs).

This isn't a knock on you. This is a knock on people who are parasitic to a company. Look, people cargo culted the SGI&Sun ethos and said, aha, they know! Let's follow. But these places are no longer the cult of engineers, it's the cult of MBAs and biz-dev types who if they were not in tech would be doing similar useless things at investment banking firms.

These are the kinds of people who balloon spending: we had this and that at [FANG] Let's get this that and the other here without knowing why we had it there and whether or not it make sense here, but, hey, you hired me, so let me have what I know -no, I don't want this viable alternative, that's not what the cool kids at FANG used, eeewww!
Depends on the quality of the developers you're looking to hire.

The market for the kinds of developers that command ~$350-500k is still incredibly tight. There's a reason that even though Stripe is reducing headcount by 14% engineers are mostly unaffected.
Not to get too meta, because frankly it's kind of a boring topic, but that deference to authority has always been a part of it on here. The authority we defer to might have changed, but it's a board that grew out of startup culture: looking up to the big winners of this game was part of it's raison d'être
> Simply put we keep putting more and more and more filtering on the user

Who would be put upon by this? The average user doesn't have to be, they could use the default settings which are very anodyne. The rest of us get what we want, that's what the article stated. Who's finding this a burden?

As to the reality of things, Twitter's just been bought for billions and there's plenty of bullshit being posted there. That's the reality, and several people who've made a lot of money by working out how to balance value and costs think it can do better.
>2) So far, these tools are "better search" schemes, not actual intelligence. Sure, many find them very useful. But given this, the (voluntary or involuntary) providers of data ought to get credit/benefit for/from this phenomena, along with the tool creators. Especially giving the current situation is Microsoft/OpenAI selling to commercial software developers who sell to general public.

What they are good at is predicting what's after the text. The problem of predicting what's next could be used to create a universal artificial intelligence (there's a mathematical definition for this). I.e. if you have a system which is very good at predicting what's next, you could get to very powerful AI.

It's cool that there are people who care so much to look into what can be learned from the minutiae of these kinds of one-off events. I suppose this case ladders up into archaeology as an entire field, but this kind of niche interest-within-an-interest exists all over the place. I find it really inspiring, it makes me proud of humanity!

In my experience, businesses are especially concerned with authorization — enabling product sales to customers.

They would rather not deal with identity and authentication — usernames and passwords — at all. These are already quite nicely handled to various degrees by Cogntio, Auth0, Azure Active Directory, and others.

To address minimalist authorization needs, the portfolio of companies I worked with collaborated to create The Usher[1]. The Usher is an open source authorization server in NodeJS. Worth a peek if you, too, want to focus on authorization separate from authentication.

Disclosure: I am a contributor to The Usher.

Perhaps it's that they were collapsed? Either that or not having 'showdead' turned on in your profile would be the two likeliest reasons.
The propagation of the species is too important to be left to rational choices. This is why places optimized for finding partners tend to have things like alcohol, dark lighting, flashing lights, loud music etc to subdue the neocortex. These kind of attempts to treat dating like hiring are largely doomed to failure, though you might see an occasional couple hitting it off.
They do now, but they are looking at tomorrow. Nobody has a clear idea what is coming down the turnpike at the moment. (China economy, high inflation, Ukraine, unipolar to multi-polar world, interest rates going up, high energy costs, global warming, de-population in some countries, health care costs blow-outs due to boomers going into 65+ age range etc).
This is a contrarian response. Funding $1 would require me to visit the website so I would have been a MAU without even funding. Conversely, funding without visiting the website requires real effort.

No metric is perfect nor stands alone. What does it mean in context to RH, FB, Apple? The value of a MAU is relative. The key is it's well defined, stable and trackable over time. Assigning value is up to diligence at that point.
Could be. Regardless of age, beginner investors will have an easier time understanding crypto. There’s only one thing to understand, either many people will use crypto or not (adoption increases, increasing the value of the coin). Easy to understand.

Is it arrogant? Yesterday, my two year old son said “is the tow truck that is coming to get your car a bed truck or a hook truck?”

Other animals are definitely smart in some ways…and probably in ways we don’t understand…but it’s not an overstatement or arrogant to say that we are in a class of our own.
This issue seems to have an obvious solution that I fail to see anyone mention:
Treat copilot simply as a tool, let it be trained on whatever without any consent requirements. However the outputs should be subject to copyright as with any other code produced by a human. Then on a case by case basis courts can decide if infringement has occurred. The idea of banning copilot or other AI models as a whole just seems like a collective case of sour grapes because innovation and automation is finally threatening some people who only expected these things to affect the working class
Until it drops enough that the DCA crowd gets scared. People have been told by reddit that there's an easy way to riches, by just blindly DCAing every month, and most people have blindly accepted this gospel. It just has to go low enough for the spell to break.

It's as if not everyone can be rich with this one simple trick of dumping your hard earned cash into buying whatever Blackrock is dumping on you every month till eternity.
A very large number of people do slack off at these companies. Some engineers code only a few hours a week. They do attend meetings and such, but the actual task delivery timeline is very relaxed.
That's my theory too—there's a cap on interesting content.

It is related because a naïve program will access a device (CPU registers, instruction pipelines, indirect cache access, RAM, disk, optical disk) in a linear fashion. RAM no longer has linear or near linear access. Disk drives of all types dealt with rotation speed, spindle head speed, etc. For a long time, disk specs were recorded in linear/sequential access time, full seek access time, and average random access time until sequential access time became less than 1ms and OSes/disk cache programs made average random access time the only latency worth caring about.

In summary, most storage devices have hierarchical performance and it’s worth caring about how to optimize for that.
You're correct, but there are other more precise words that come from hermeneutics and whatnot. Grad school was a long time ago.

Not sure if you're joking, but "we prefer to spent life with friends and family" implies that they have no interest or desire to build the next AWS.
Your code is protected by copyright. The license allows for what would otherwise be copyright infringement.

But training an AI model on media (code or otherwise) is not copyright infringement, so the license is irrelevant.

It's selfish to pretend otherwise and to try to assert a copyright right that doesn't exist, for the purpose of impeding progress in a field that benefits us all.

I don't like Elon either, but he didn't make the decision to hire those people and it's not really fair to blame him now that they need to be fired. If twitter had 100k headcount, would you still say he should have delayed a layoff and given people a chance?
Thanks for reading and absorbing those old comments—I always leave them in the hope that someday somebody will :)
There are many factors contributing to this...

- Higher interest rates = Less access to capital for tech companies

- Remote work = More out-of-state and international competition for jobs based on tech hubs

- Easier to use technologies = Lower entry barrier to engineering jobs = More people switching careers and becoming software engineers

- More people opting to become software engineers

- Stacked ranking and mass layoffs
If lawsuit goes through, it's not likely that Copilot would disappear.. but there would be a checkbox to opt-in your code. You could check it and your code will be used to train model.

I have some code on Github as well and would not want it to be used in training, nor by Microsoft nor by other company. It is under GPL license to ensure that any derived use is public and not stripped of copyrights and locked into proprietary codebase, and copilot is pretty much 100% opposite of this.
I have a similar, but more attainable train goal of riding the Amtrak Empire Builder route from Chicago to Spokane. The route looks beautiful and has a few nice stops along the way.

> It blows my mind that in a hypercapitalist society like the US, that copyrights still exist. Copyrights are a massive violation of property rights,

Ah, you’ve mistaken capitalism (which had been developing for centuries earlier) with 18th century liberal economic theory, which is not its foundation but instead a rough ex-post-facto rationalization for large parts of the way it had developed.

What capitalism is, though, is the systematic prioritization of the interests of the mercantile (which became, as legal property rights coalesced around their interest, capitalist) class as the organizing principle of society.
Agree 100%.

Of course you do, pal. :^)
RH (and presumably other commission-free brokers) sometimes beat the competition on transaction costs, particularly with low-priced contracts, or where you stand to benefit from blending in with other naive option traders. I maintained cash with them just for that purpose, for a while.

As that's no longer applicable for me, I find more and more reason to move all my accounts to Interactive Brokers. The entire history of their nickel-and-diming fees was easily paid for by letting me enter a single position one day in 4AM-7AM pre-market trading hours, which those other basic brokers (including IBKR Lite) don't support.

RH's health is fine. They are still getting positive net deposits, and they're still adding features. It's a great business to be in. They have insanely high margins and their customers' default behavior is to put more money into them. Once they have IRAs, there won't be a good reason for normal investors who just bag-hold stocks to switch away. They have $6 billion of cash, which gives them a ton of runway.
Can you point out where in the report it is claimed that the number of spam accounts is outright fabricated? The closest I can find is that Mudge accuses Twitter leadership of not knowing and/or not being interested in the total number of spam bots, but that is a very different accusation than fabricating the number of spam bots.

In addition, the number of spam bots is more or less a red herring - the only representation regarding bots that Twitter made during the acquisition was the false/spam/etc. rate among its mDAU. There was no representation made as to the total number of bots on Twitter, nor the percentage of all Twitter accounts which are bots.

That Musk focused on a different number is more or less entirely on him, and is a significant reason his lawsuit never really went anywhere.

It's also important to note that data scientists Musk hired failed to find evidence that supported his "wildly higher" claim - one firm found an 11% "fake user number" at an 80% confidence interval, while the other found a 5.3% spam accounts as a percentage of mDAU at a 90% confidence interval. Hardly the kind of evidence one would want to have when accusing Twitter of lying, let alone fraud.
I checked the zstd source and i'm surprised to see you're right -

There's a little x86_64 assembly but I don't see a single SIMD instruction anywhere, and no intrinsics neither. Seems like brotli is the same. I assume zstd still gains something from SIMD autovectorization in the compiler, that might be interesting to benchmark with- and without- such a flag.

Since the zstd bytestream got frozen in RFC8478, messing with the layout too much will require a zstd2 and moving the whole world again to use it (linux kernel compression, rpm binary format, etc)
The article quotes The Intercept story describing a dedicated FB portal, accessible only for those with government email addresses, for requesting content removal and then says "Nothing in that system is about demanding or suppressing information, and it’s basically misinformation for the Intercept to imply otherwise."

That's just one example of the problems with this Techdirt piece. The entire article is very fishy and gives off very strong regime sockpuppet vibes.
It depends. If you work on sales, being agreeable is not necessarily good for you.
I disagree. The more entrenched a practice is, like training AI models on media content, the less willing a court is going to be to take that practice away.
4-5 Bay hard drive enclosure (with RAID)?
I only found out about this benefit of iCloud+ a few days ago, thankfully a few days before my prior solution was due to renew for another 2 years at a vastly more expensive rate.

Certainly easy to set up. DNS with CloudFlare and it was able to do it all with just a login confirmation from my side of things.
Could also be opportunity. Tumultuous times are sometimes the best environment to advance quickly. Not my cup of tea, but some ambitious folks thrive in that.

Removing the bottom 14% is not the same as hiring another 14% closer to the median.
I wonder if it's like the double-decker passenger cars used for Metra in Chicago. These trains never change direction (like Amtrak) but just run forward (IIRC) into the city and reverse back out to the suburbs. The car on the end has a small cab where the engineer sits and controls the train when it is running reversed. From the outside the difference between that and a passenger car is pretty subtle.
> Authors Guild v Google. Google Books is built upon scanning millions of books from libraries

I agree it's relevant precedent, but not exactly the same. Libraries are a public good and more importantly Google books references the original works. In short, I don't think that's the final word in all seemingly related cases.

> More specifically, a computer consuming a copyright work is not a violation of copyright.

I don't agree with this way of describing technology, as if humans weren't responsible for operating and designing the technology. Law is concerned with humans and their actions. If you create an autonomous scraper that takes copyrighted works and distributes them, you are (morally) responsible for the act of distributing them, even if you didn't "handle" them or even see them yourself.

Neither of the important aspects – remixing and automation – is novel, but the combination is. That's what we should focus on, instead of treating AI as some separate anthropomorphized entity.
Yeah all of these listed still require an equivalent to SSN.
