I guess I'm just afraid that it might not be as good as it is that way.

It's a bit like how GPT-3, Stable Diffusion and all those generative models use extensive amounts of copyrighted material in training to get as good as they do.

In those cases however the output space is so vast that plagiarism is very unlikely.

With code, not so much.
The US is still entirely driven by its own consumers and the way its behavior reflects off the international economy, driving all that voodoo noise, but the UK?

I think they should kill zombie businesses quicker (yay, interest rates!) and try to pick up as many international worker positions from companies least likely to be zombies. Their downward slope locally is pretty inevitable but puts them in a good position like a weak currency for exports.

Giving up on a shoot the moon strategy that has gone this far usually means shooting yourself.

Can you elaborate on what is unique about their supplier expectations?

I'm curious, because sometimes exceptional supplier expectations come from a customer not really knowing what they need, so they ask for the world.
Real answer: Apple hides scrollbars. Not just on iOS- on Mac OS they hide by default, and are only visible when actively scrolling. The vast majority of users don't notice them not being there, so nobody complains and designers keep hiding them.

Another fun thing: On Mac OS you can enable scrollbars to always show; but doing this adds a ~18px scroll gutter on every scrollable element, and thus breaks some scrolling web elements where the designers clearly only designed around the default. :)

> Also we're not allowed to remember that just a year ago the UK was crushing Europe in vaccine access so badly the EU was openly talking about seizing British assets to try and catch up

Actually, the issue was that AstraZeneca had simultaneously signed a contract with the UK with a clause that it would give them priority access to vaccines, and with the EU with a clause that it doesn't have any other contract that would prevent it from fulfilling its requirements.

Naturally this eventually went to court.

It seems either to try to lean on other countries or an attempt to appear "tough on Cuba" to a portion of voters without actually doing anything that really harms relationships with other countries.
It's basically just public nuisance, like driving up and down a street blaring your favorite club banger at 3AM. More uncharitably its a lot like littering, public urination, or graffiti.

So business as usual at Twitter then? I still recall the chorus of the "private platform" folks, you can even go into my comments, I warned them this would be the outcome.

Mastodon decided to go the guilt-by-assiciation route instead:

Instead of just leaving it to users or admins to block users or servers they didn’t want to deal with, a large subset decided to block for anyone who didn’t block certain other servers.
Code published on Github is not necessarily open source. There is a lot of code there that has no particular license attached, which means that all rights are reserved except for those covered in the Github TOS, which I believe just covers viewing the code on Github.
They changed it, I'm 100 % sure. The profile picture was Saul from Breaking Bad. I assume they read the comments here and changed it in a matter of one or two minutes.
It being permissively licensed is virtually irrelevant because only a minority of code is so permissively licensed you can just do what you like under any license. Far more is do what you like within the scope of the license. For example GPL do with it what you like so long as any derivative work is also GPL.
You should try it on ClickHouse Cloud - the pricing is not based on bytes, so the resulting cost would be near zero compared to $1M on BigQuery.

They are correct to have a tighter focus on the right wing propaganda but the truth is nearly every local news outlet, regardless of ownership or alleged leanings acts as propaganda for police basically any chance they get.

Obviously "submarine" is an overused term on this board but check out basically any crime / police related articles from your local "real" news site and see how many of them only source police in virtually every article. Sometimes I wonder if there is even a human at the news org tasked with rewriting the police press releases or if they are just touched up via an AI writing service.
It seems like we should come to agreement on what the license is intended for, given that when the licenses were created in a time before AI like this existed. If the authors did not intend their code to be used like this, should we not respect it?
Also, does it make sense to create new licenses which explicitly state whether using it for AI training is acceptable or not - or are our current licenses good enough?
Is this a snarky comment implying that the CLI programs and pacman are better left unwrapped?
Probably in the place where GitHub copilot is used and the location of the authority of the court.
> Do not discourage anyone from pursuing photography just because they are using a mobile or a point and shoot camera.

Similarly, do not discourage anyone from pursuing photography by telling them that they have to start with something like film.

This extends to trying to tell people that they should learn programming by starting with (for example) assembly instead of python.
I hope this case will fail and establish a good precedent for all future AI litigations and may be even prevent new ones. Your code is open source - irregardless of license, one might read it as a text book and then remember or even copy snippets and re-use this somewhere else unrelated to the original application. If you don't like this, don't make your code open source. This was happening and is happening independent of any license all over the world by majority of developers. What Copilot and similar tools did was to make those snippets accessible for extrapolation in new applications.

If these folks win - we again throw progress under the bus.
copilot is great, and ignorance is bliss, isn't it

The situation that this lawsuit is trying to save you from is this: (1) copilot blurps out some code X that you use, and then redistribute in some form (monetized or not); (2) it turns out company C owns copyright on something Y that copilot was trained on, and then (3) C makes a strong case that X is part of Y, and that your use of X does not fall under "fair use", i.e. you infringed on the licensing terms that C set for Y.

You are now in legal trouble, and copilot put you there, because it never warned that you X is part of Y, and that Y comes with such and such licensing terms.

Whether we like copilot or not, we should be grateful that this case is seeking to clarify some things are currently legally untested. Microsoft's assertions may muddy the waters, but that doesn't make law.
Indeed, the ability to 'launder away' proprietary licenses when source is available means that companies in the future (that would otherwise provide source under a non-permissive license) will shift in favour of not providing source code at all.
This is what I hope comes out of the lawsuit. If a company wants to sell an AI model, they need to own all of the training data. It can't be "fair use" to take other peoples' works at zero cost, and use it to build a commercial product without compensation.

And maybe models trained on public data should be in the public domain, so that AI research can happen without requiring massive investments to obtain the training data.
I think anyone who has tripped would also commiserate. Seeing too many eyes or fingers at a glance. Things feeling cartoony or 'shiny'.

I don't know if AGI is down the road diffusion models have taken us. I'm not even really sure what most people mean by AI when they talk about it. But stable diffusion et al are clearly super human. I'm not sure that AGI is down the trail cut by diffusion models, but if it's ever accomplished, these models will almost assuredly represwbt some of the learnings required to get there.

For me, it's the way generative videos can rapidly, but to my eyes seamlessly, transition from one shape to another. I may not be able to record my dreams, but my memories of my dreams do match this effect, with one place or person suddenly becoming another.
The "best" does not work very often though.

You won't be able to capture the cathedral interior / room full of people with a non-wide lens because you simply can't back off through the wall.

You can't capture birds pictures with a wide angle, because "sneaker method" will just chase them away.

You can't just go closer to a person to get a headshot portrait with a wide angle because the perspective will distort their face to an ugly degree.

For many years I lived with a fixed focal length camera (Fuji X100) and it "sneaker method" did not work very well.
I still use my Surface RT for videos on car trips. It has a USB port, a 16:9 screen and can run (a very old version of) VLC. I wouldn't have paid money for it, but I got it for free.

I consider myself to be rather decent at what I do. I also know that, all things considered, I am mostly useless as an employee right know. Wjy? Because in reality my skill set is simply noy needed at the moment, nor will it be for quite some time to come. Things changed since I was hired, lucky for me current management doesn't have the stomach to announce a x % layoff, even if they should IMHO. Not that I complain so, for now.
An amazing thing about the TeX Book is that due to TeX's stability, it's mostly still current. It was written in a day when the graphical computer was a special thing that required a trip to the lab. So the stuff it has about how to run TeX is dated.

But once you know how to run TeX at your "site" (as they would have called it then) all the stuff on the language (that is, practically the whole book) is still good.
Now, I also bought a really long USB-C cable with a 90-degree angle connector to make it fit a bit nicer, and I can use Link instead of Air Link, cutting out a bunch of steps getting it going. That works pretty reliably, and has better video quality. Corded, obviously, but it's still better than the old Vive umbilical cord, and fine for sit-down games like Elite.
Way, way back in 1992, Unix Systems Laboratories sued BSDI for copyright infringement. Among other things, they claimed that since the BSD folks had seen the Unix source code, they were "mentally contaminated" and their code would be a copyright violation. This led to the BSD folks wearing "mentally contaminated" buttons for a while.
it does. it behaves identically to regular sugar except in how it interacts with other organic compounds.

Eh... I don't know. It sounds to me like you are saying because the code example outputs exact lines, it's a copyright violation; but the image AI's necessarily don't output exact copies of even portions of pre-existing images, that's not how they work.

But I don't think copyright on visual images actually works like that, that it needs to be an exact copy to infringe.

If I draw my own pictures of Mickey Mouse and Goofy having a tea party, it's still a copyright infringement if it is substantially similar to copyright depictions of mickey mouse and goofy. (subject to fair use defenses; I'm allowed to do what would otherwise have been a copyright infringement if it meets a fair use defense, which is also not cut and dry, but if it's, say, a parody it's likely to be fair use. There is probably a legal argument that Copilot is fair use.... the more money Github makes on it, the harder it is though, but making money off something is not relevant to whether it's a copyright violation in the first place, but is to fair use defense).

(yes, it might also be a trademark infringement; but there's a reason Disney is so concerned with copyright on mickey expiring, and it's not that they think there's lots of money to be spent on selling copies of the specific Steamboat Willy movie...)

> There is actually no percentage by which you must change an image to avoid copyright infringement. While some say that you have to change 10-30% of a copyrighted work to avoid infringement, that has been proven to be a myth. The standard is whether the artworks are “substantially similar,” or a “substantial part” has been changed, which of course is subjective.

https://www.epgdlaw.com/how-can-my-artwork-steer-clear-of-co...

I think Stable Diffusion etc are quite capable of creating art that is "substantially similar" to pre-existing art.
> I'm confused, do you think some individual leaving is a failure state?

When you are trying to grow something, them leaving is a failure.

I ran a Minecraft server for many years when I was in high school. It's very hard to strike a balance of:

1. Having players

2. Giving those players a positive experience (banning abusers)

3. Stepping in only when necessary

Every player that I banned meant I lost some of my player base. Some players in particular would cause an entire group to leave. Of course, plenty of players have alternate accounts and would just log onto one of those.
Thanks for the links! That's helpful, the part about B2 makes sense.

One of the core principles of the American system of government is that we outsource enforcement to private parties. Instead of the public needing to fund enforcement with tax dollars private parties undertake risky litigation in exchange for the chance of a big payoff.

There is a reasonable argument that's a horrible system. But it doesn't make sense to criticize the plaintiff looking for a profit - the entire system has been set up such that that's what they're supposed to do. If you're angry about it lobby for either no rules or properly funded government enforcement of rules.

What alienating policies do you see them implementing?

I think it’s possible to be respectful and treat the recipient with respect while also doing something that they don’t like. HR often has to terminate people based on someone else’s decision. Does that mean they shouldn’t do it respectfully?
Ok, I belive they do on some superficial level. I mean, people virtue signal about things they care, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. If they actually cared, why not try and do something meaningful about it[1]? When I cared about issues, I put effort into trying to change things a even on a meager/local scale. As a teen I volunteered at a library to teach children how to behave online. Later I helped refurbish a homelessness shelter in my home town. I've taught programming at an LGBT community centre.

Maybe I've done these for selfish reasons because they are things that personally affected my own past/development, and doing them made me feel good and significant. These are all small things, but at least I hope I've made a difference to a small number of people. So, in my books a tweet or a driveby paragraph in release notes doesn't really make a difference. Tell me, how did GitHub help make black people feel more comfortable on the streets of America? How did these release notes help people's rights in Iran?

[1]: Also, to be fair, I don't know who put that paragraph in. Maybe they did do meaningfully contribute (i.e. by setting up VPN networks or something), and maybe I'm being unnecessarily harsh. But in my limited experience, the people who preach the loudest do the least, but also herald of their preaches and coat themselves with efforts of others. Sadly
I've seen an example of this. The fork is less active than the original, but I wouldn't call it a failure. Rather, it was a successful experiment with a negative result. The original forum was the most high-quality discussion forum I've ever experienced in my life, so this wasn't quite a generalizable experiment.

Digital cameras are sufficiently good now that the camera is almost never the limiting factor. One of my favorite photos to illustrate that is the composite I shot a few days after wearing out the shutter on my Nikon D40, and having a cheap zoom camera in hand, feeling experimenty... I took this by laying down in front of the bean and doing a 180 half sphere with about 33 exposures in "sports" mode, where the camera just keeps taking things. (This was a $100 camera, not an DSLR)

https://flickr.com/photos/---mike---/51858792421/in/album-72...

I strongly agree with the idea of taking photos when there's doubt.. I've regretted not taking photos I was uncertain of. I almost never regret taking too many.

Yes, but attribution should still be given. Just because you don't copy-paste someone else's creation doesn't mean you're licensed to use it.

Ubuntu did snapshot the bpool; unfortunately, it did a poor job of garbage collecting the snapshots. Meaning that eventually you would have failing kernel updates due to lack of space, and having to manually clean it up.

Since 22.04, zsys (the tool that did the snapshoting) is not installed by default.
There are three ways to take great photographs:

1) Go to the most interesting places
2) Take photos at the most perfect moment
3) Have a great understanding of light

You don't need to do all three, just any one of them is enough. But the camera can be anything if you do one of those three things.

I used to be into photography back in the film era. I gradually figured out that what I liked was the process -- taking the photos, getting the focus and exposure right, developing the film, using the enlarger and making prints -- but then I never looked at the photos again. So I've basically stopped taking them. It was all just a lot of effort for zero return. As a result, the camera is the least interesting feature of a smartphone for me.
Eh, I don't mind Copilot being trained on my code as long as it and all projects made using it are licensed under the AGPL.
No, it really is only France and a couple of smaller countries which have that comparatively low inflation - Germany was 10.9%, Italy 9.4%. That headline average inflation figure is pretty representative. (Also, it looks like one of the countries bringing up the average was the Netherlands which is definitely not considered one of the poorer countries.)

What people do often point to is the interest rates Germany's government pays to borrow money, which are rather lower than the UK (and lower than the rest of the Eurozone). Basically, the only comparisons that get made are the ones that make the UK look worse.
