I asked myself (chat.openai.com) that very question:

> what are the copyright implications of generative AI models?

Copyright law is designed to protect original works of authorship, such as literature, music, and artwork. In general, a work is considered to be original if it was created by a human author, rather than being copied from another work. This means that generative AI models, which are created by computer algorithms and do not involve human authorship, would not be protected by copyright law in the same way that human-created works are.

However, this does not mean that there are no copyright implications for generative AI models. For example, if a generative AI model is used to create a work that is based on or incorporates existing works, such as by using a dataset of existing music to train the model and then generating new compositions, there could be copyright issues related to the use of the existing works. Additionally, if a generative AI model is used to create a work that is substantially similar to an existing copyrighted work, this could potentially raise issues of copyright infringement.

In general, it's important to consider the potential copyright implications of using generative AI models and to carefully evaluate whether the use of these models may potentially violate existing copyrights. In some cases, it may be necessary to obtain permission from the copyright holders of existing works before using them to train a generative AI model.

> I love that answer! I'd like to post that on my blog. What is the licensing or use rights of the text you just output?

As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I am not capable of holding copyrights or licensing my output. My responses are intended for educational or informational purposes only, and are not intended to be taken as legal advice. You are free to use the information I provide for any non-commercial purposes, as long as you provide appropriate attribution to me. However, I cannot grant you permission to use my responses for any commercial purposes.

> What about any potential copyright claims stemming from the training set you were trained on?

As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I do not have access to the training data that was used to create me, and I am not able to determine whether any copyright issues may arise from this data. As I mentioned earlier, it's important to carefully consider the potential copyright implications of using generative AI models, and to obtain permission from the copyright holders of any existing works that are used to train these models, if necessary. Additionally, it's always a good idea to consult with a legal expert if you have specific questions about the potential copyright implications of using generative AI models.
Matt Levine has speculated that a bunch of the money was lost via market-making with insufficient controls (margin enforcement etc.). For example, as reported by the Financial Times (via Levine's Dec. 5 newsletter, "Crypto had a Credit Bubble"):

[begin quote]

In April 2021, a crypto token called MobileCoin — used for payments in the privacy-focused messaging app Signal — suddenly spiked in price from about $6 to almost $70, before crashing back down again almost as quickly.

The wild moves came after a trader on FTX had built an unusually large position in the little-known token. Two people familiar with the matter said that when the price rose, the trader used the position to borrow against it on FTX, potentially a scheme to extract dollars from the exchange.

Alameda was forced to step in and assume the trader’s position to protect FTX. The trading company’s loss on this deal was at least in the hundreds of millions of dollars, the people said, and as high as $1bn, according to one of the people, wiping out a large share of Alameda’s 2021 trading profits.

[end quote]

...So whomever was on the other side of positions like that. Savvy outsider or well-informed insider? Who knows! Maybe it can be reclaimed, or maybe it's long dispersed down a chain of dozens of crypto exchanges, tumblers, offshore fiat accounts, and so forth. I expect we'll learn a lot more over the next few weeks as the federal case ramps up and the bankruptcy executor delivers more findings.
Crypto only exists because it is unregulated. If it had to play by ethical, moral rules the entire space would collapse. The sole purpose of crypto is fraud. You take away the fraud and you get nothing but a solution in search of a problem.
Do traditional banks protect customer interests? They may now after being forced to, but the UK government is deregulating the banking sector considerably to try and avoid losing even more face by London losing financial capital status, and I would not be surprised at all if we see banks taking stupid risks/being wilfully negligent again.

Let’s not forget that these regulations they’re getting rid of came about after 2008, when banks had to be bailed out by taxpayers around the world.

As they say, what causes more damage, the founding of a bank or the robbing of a bank?

I don’t have any advice, but I will say the art in the screenshots didn’t grab my attention.

For what it’s worth, I had a similar experience. I launched a game on itch.io for fun, and got a ton of positive feedback (including “I love this game!” And “I can’t believe this is free!”), but when I launched on Steam (also for free, but now with music people said they liked and new features), it bombed.

The cherry on top was when I posted a Show HN here (it’s a zachlike programming game, using an esolang—-right up HN’s alley), and didn’t get a single upvote. I’ll admit: that hurt.

>"They have no overhead, it's all profit."

I have just about zero warm and fuzzy feelings towards big corporations. But to claim that Youtube's giant infrastructure its development and maintenance has no cost (zero overhead) is totally wrong.

I don’t get your complaint, it seems you’ve provided very good examples of them doing exactly what you say you want them to do.

As an example from someone who finds the language compelling in some ways, outright ruling out DSLs is a major factor that would rule it out of consideration for me. Better that they saved me the trouble of wondering!
That site doesn’t support https btw, you need to delete the `s` in the scheme to get it to load.
you can generally measure that with churn in the enterprise Saas world. But that's a lag indicator so it's tough to see into the future. To address what a good meeting is, I worked for a startup where a salesperson closed Netflix as an account, we all gave each other high fives but they never used the product due to security concerns and churned a year later. Meanwhile I understood that we were still in early stages of product development and closed winery clients and they are still customers after three years because what we had at the time is what they needed. Netflix wasn't a bad customer, but the salesperson set expectations too high and the eng team got crushed by the demands.
Graph Editing Engine X6
If Cormac McCarthy commented on Hacker News...
He'll need every bit of time he can get. Time for the news cycle to churn some more and bore people like you and me, time to communicate with friends who may help, time to try contingency plans, time for the market to turn up even a little bit (which also presumably helps his friends, who may help him), and so on.

He took a lot of risk and his best outcome was leveraged over time in a gradual buildup. He'll probably do the same now with any other solution + any helpful asset he may have, be it time, financial, human, etc.
I imagine the "does not boot degraded" was mildly annoying to them, until they figured out the rootfsopts flag and deployed it.

That whole thread above debating not booting degraded really made me lose any faith in btrfs.

That's an assumption. My #1 rule for a benchmark is that it should have reproducible results. Using variable-performance storage goes directly against reproducible results.

On a related topic: an OLAP benchmark with a small dataset that fits in memory caters only to what I'd consider a small set of OLAP use cases. I'd love to see one with a large dataset much bigger than memory.
You're not. GP, did you mean to link to a different video?
I think it depends on the part of the organization.

The teams managing the money-handling-software care very much about protecting your cents.

The product managers inventing new fees do not.

Thank you! We will be working on video after we implement more image transformations. What is your usecase for audio and what transformations would you like to see?
Thanks for a lovely comment. I am privileged myself, which makes it hard for me to see what systems oppress those less fortunate. But I often "peak over the fence" when I deal with my ADHD and face the challenges of renting in a volatile market. I move often, and I forget/lose stuff constantly. I have to laugh when people suggest a physical yubikey - there is no way I am not going to lose it eventually.

I don't have a lot of sympathy for big tech when it so clearly fails to enfranchise those that need it most.
I've also wondered why cryptically abbrevated things like NOTAMS are still the way they are. It made sense in a teletype/telegraph world where brevity was worth time and money.

Pilots have to know how to read and understand this stuff. Only justification I can think of is that like mathematical notation, this shorthand, once learned, is unambiguous and conveys meaning better than prose. I don't know if that's really true though.
You should reread your own posts. I'm only responding to what you write yourself.

As I explicitly wrote, you can store secrets in separate places, and if you don't, you still protect yourself against password recovery attacks or interception and add redundancy.
I think more people would be convinced if we push to adapt to climate change rather than stop or reverse it, which may not be possible.

That’s what gets me about this whole thing: two law professor parents. A gaggle of young, incredibly wealthy people who all had their tickets pre-punched with prestige schools, A-list jobs like Jane Street, etc. I have to admit, this story has pissed me off more than most of these corporate frauds.
Sequoia's main driving factor was paranoia of missing the next big thing. Why would that change with one of their assets tanking? They went through similar (albeit at a smaller scale) many times. Most investments flop, this one very publicly. Still, just one of many investments they have, some of them equally foolish. Many "foolish" investments made them rich before.
Thanks.

The loss of craftsmanship is something I think about and lament on frequently. It's not just about making things. Of course modern methods are more "efficient" in the strictest capitalistic sense.

But there is more to the puzzle than that. I fear we aren't considering what we have lost in return, not limited to relationship between master and apprentice, knowledge transfer in the most natural way, and the connection to your work, to name a few.

And with the ongoing improvements to AI via things like ChatGPT, and the learning tools and tricks and opportunities they open up, and more of the old craftsman and tradesmen and women of old passing on to the next life, we may soon start to also see the decline of knowledge soon, as we will relegate more and more of that to our models.
SBF invested 200 million back into Sequoia funds as an LP, wasn't that big of a loss as they invested 214 million into FTX
Do you seriously believe that? Your comment is incredible euro/western centric. Wildly so, too. Especially w.r.t LGBTQ rights. (Not saying I agree with notch, just completely disagree with your point about the majority).
Honestly confused what you're insinuating. They needed to sell that 2% to get the deal done probably, to tempt the buyers.
I agree with most of your points, the article gets it backwards in lots of ways. The worse solution generally comes first, it's worse because it was 'quick and dirty' and didn't try to elegantly and optimally solve the problem. The worse solution generally is actually worse in some significant ways, but these defects are small compared to the advantage of being a solution that is available much earlier and conceptually simple enough for users to successfully apply without lots of training and false starts. Balloon framing is so easy that you can watch a video and then go do it, it requires simpler tools, cheaper lumber, and much less precision. There's no working worse-is-better analogy here, which is why nobody uses post-and-beam framing for anything outside of niche luxury homes. It's not better in any way other than looking older.
The fact that SFB was still giving live interviews during the whole FTX collapse where he contradicted himself was beyond dumb. They are going to have a field day with him.
It’s the biggest economy and the strongest “rule of law” out of all the large countries in the world. And it has the most soft power in the world. I’m not too surprised
You don’t think Sequoia is among those pushing for prosecution?

> I would be beyond furious if I was expected to help make someone else whole.

Such are the wages of being a beneficiary of a ponzi scheme. It would be a good incentive to do better research.
There's a level of wilful ignorance here. If you "invest" in a business because line goes up and you don't ask why or how, and it turns out the why and how was crime, well, maybe you were just a rube, but maybe you figured out that it wasn't in your interest to ask too many questions. When we're talking about a sophisticated top VC fund...
Surely a meager bit of attention paid to fear/disgust-based politics [now don't project here folks ;)], would dissuade you from that notion. There's always a deeper conspiracy to double down with. Or outright lies. Gish galloping, etc.
Maybe start with Pleistocene Park and wooly mammoths, which were still around ~4000 years ago?
Which works great until the core developers decide to rollback the “code is law” blockchain because there was a transaction they didn’t like. As it turns you still need to trust humans even in the world of “code is law”
Yeah obviously. I was asking about the next stage.

Please read my comment with the context of the original comment, rather than reading mine in isolation.

The user was saying that Apple were wording their fixes of large gaps as simply improvements to the technology, rather than calling out that they had fixed what may have been a significant defects/issues.

My point is that you're right, there may not be a difference, but in tone it is different and that is why Apple have worded it that way. Apple is notorious for framing everything in the most positive light it can, which may not necessarily convey the severity of the gaps/defects that were improved.

I feel like I'm pulling blood out of a stone here.
> Remember Alamada wasn’t a normal customer. It was acting as a market maker/counterparty of last resort to many other FTX customers. In that case there could be situations where ‘normal customer liquidation rules’ shouldn’t apply

This might be a reasonable argument in a vacuum, except that:

> [SBF] told investors and prospective investors that FTX had top-notch, sophisticated automated risk measures in place to protect customer assets, that those assets were safe and secure, and that Alameda was just another platform customer with no special privileges. [emphasis added]

And also:

> Bankman-Fried also told investors, and directed other FTX and Alameda
employees to tell investors, that Alameda received no preferential treatment from FTX. For example, Bankman-Fried told the Wall Street Journal in or around July 2022: “There are no parties that have privileged access.” Likewise, in a Bloomberg article published in or about September 2022, Bankman-Fried claimed that “Alameda is a wholly separate entity” than FTX. In the same article, Ellison is quoted as stating about Alameda: “We’re at arm’s length and don’t
get any different treatment from other market makers.” Bankman-Fried made similar statements directly to investors. [emphasis added]

(The above are direct quotes from the SEC complaint [1] against SBF.)

Singh might argue that he wasn't aware of the private statements to investors. But the WSJ and Bloomberg stories show the "arm's length" claim was something they consistently messaged to the public at the highest levels. To argue that Alameda's role as market maker of last resort justified a privileged status would be inconsistent with all their prior public claims to the contrary. "We lied to the public repeatedly about our risk management" isn't a defense; it's a confession.

>If Jamie Dimon asked a developer at the bank "hey can you have Chase ATMs allow these 10 accounts that are in my name to withdraw unlimited funds?" everyone involved would be in jail.

This isn't true

I worked for a large bank. I managed data for their mortgages. We bought another bank and processed their mortgages with our systems. There were several thousand accounts that we called "friends of the <former CEO>" because they had really weird terms.

A noteworthy example is: $10m Home Equity loan, with 2% interest for 40 years, and the owner could refinance any anytime without any fees

In English, this means we can't repossess their loan, they pay a super low monthly payment, and the final amount is never really due.
> Who was on the other side of those trades?

Yes, but trusses can only be used in houses where you use trusses? It means you do not have much or any usable attic space, and the roof shape has to be a very simple gable roof with the living space completely non-intersecting with the roof structure space.
