The painting is obviously derived from the photograph. The defendant's lawyers didn't even bother to argue otherwise; anybody with eyes can see. I would also argue that a photograph that apparently can be turned into Turandot by the addition of a sword hilt and an earring can't be that generic.

The article you link was cited in the original thread and completely lines up with the photographer's claims. None of your additional claims from this comment are in the article, so I'm not sure why you're citing it.

[Yeah me too, but nevertheless, I thought this result might be interesting to some people so it doesn't hurt sharing it]

Thanks a lot! Yeah the original idea was from "rxjs-autorun" basically, and I think the idea got subsequently incorporated into SolidJS (if I'm not mistaken). Here basically I wanted to test effect of some additional constraints on the idea, specifically the interaction with async contexts which was missing before, which turned out pretty interesting.

I personally prefer a functional style as well, but time and again have been forced to isolate and heavily explain such FRP code in team projects to accommodate for other teammates who might not feel comfortable with the style. This is why this thread of "flattening" reactive programming into a more imperative style has been fascinating me for quite some time now.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback on how it will turn out in your project!

A formal definition of ‘common knowledge’ or ‘common sense’?

“Anything that would be regarded as true by a language model trained on the Common Crawl dataset”.

Be an interesting philosophical position to test out in, say, a judicial setting. We could replace the legal concept of a ‘reasonable person’ with ‘a language model with its temperature set to a reasonable level’.

And perhaps instead of a jury of your peers, the fairest way to reach a verdict would be to present the facts of a case to a large language model, and ask it ’guilty or not guilty?’ twelve times..

This is going to happen, unless OpenAI and other AI developers, create a hidden unique Cryptic signature inside AI responses.

I've read somewhere that openAI is already working on this.

If that doesn't work, I think effective discussions on the internet might plausibly shift gradually to other languages, since AI is currently only focused on English, and I doubt thats going to change any time soon.

first towards European languages like German and French, but since these languages are well supported in tech, and use similar letters and writing style, I suspect they will be conquered quickly.

A real challenge would be Eastern languages, like Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and others.

These languages use a completely different writing style, grammer rules and have a wide field between being understood and being fluent, such that a basic Bot will be caught quickly by a native(this is why Google translate absolutely sucks in these languages, its immediately clear thats its automatically translated).
the idea of access to space being solely the preserve of commercial entities is an uncomfortable one.

To be fair, everything else has been like this. The first railways were government funded, the first airlines (in most places), this is quite typical.

Then as things mature, as there can be a profit-motive, government tends to get out of the lime-light, and private orgs take over.

Space-X, as an example, is just that. And space travel is about to become mundane, common, normal. Just like air travel in the early 50s.

And this doesn't mean the government has zero power here. It can take over companies in time of war/national emergency, it can compel for national need.

Again, what we need to do... is realise that space travel is becoming like air travel. And I for one, would be horrified if all control to air travel was through governments only.

Hmm, I remember still having to install individual drivers for USB thumb drives/sticks on our stock 98SE install. It was only until we "upgraded" to WinME that USB mass storage largely became plug-and-play.

(Though, I think you could grab the winme usb drivers and plop them into a 98 install to get universal-ish usb mass storage, and later drives just ended up bundling a generic driver instead of a device specific one on the driver CD)

How do you manage multiple ecosystems?
I’ve been using an iPhone since 2009 and have fully invested in the Apple Ecosystem (phone, head phones, Apple TV, Photo storage, etc. etc.).

However, my problem with the Apple Ecosystem is balancing the fact that I’ve never worked for a company that uses Apple products. Almost all my business activities are on Microsoft products.

Over the years, I’ve fragmented my digital life between Apple (Personal Devices/Storage), O365 (Work-Everything), and Google (Personal Email).

This leads to:
> Documents stored on Apple Drive, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Box
> Emails that hit my work MS Exchange account and Gmail
> Meeting invites that are on my iCloud, MS Exchange, and Gmail
> To Do/Reminders on Apple Reminders, Microsoft To Do, Gmail, Todoist
> etc.

How do you simplify your digital ecosystems?

I understand the desire for cross platform toolkits, but I've accepted that there are no good library solutions, only architectural solutions and in the end that's probably a good thing. By that I mean writing to a library built on top of native APIs will never be as good as fully separating your application's UI from the core engine (with games being a giant exception to the rule) and writing a new UI for each platform.

I think cross platform toolkits like Qt, GTK, Electron/web, Swing, etc... are really their own platforms. There are definitely places where these things make sense (mostly in business or enterprise software that nobody expects to be good anyway), but it's rare that something really loved is built with them.

It's the classic thinking that we can solve the multiplicity of platforms "problem" by writing one more platform except, this time, it's a meta-platform.
I actually went through this yesterday! I opened a new (still in plastic!) box of HD “floppies” to make a bootable disk for my 486. I sent a picture of it to a friend and he replied “how big are these? 512k?”. I too thought it was common knowledge, the number 1.44 burned into my brain forever, but I do give my friend credit for being at least in the right ballpark, and also to come up with another number that has geek value.

I hadn’t heard this before, but this is why mathematics works:

A sufficiently advanced symbolic manipulation (math) is “indistinguishable” from the semantics of some phenomenon — like gravitation.
Sending a mail to the hosting provider is helpful. Also, if you are looking at blocking IP you can try blocking an entire ASN temporarily to see how that works. It’s one thing for someone to destroy a server and reimage it on the same service. It’s another thing to destroy it and bring it up on a fresh provider. Currently the attacker is using dedipath for example. Block the ASN while waiting for their abuse team to respond.
Gcc generates faster code, too, often, though far from always.

Clang is suffering because Google is off on a chase for "Carbon", which hasn't been abandoned yet, so neglects all but LLVM.

@Lionga how do you make $300k easy? Genuinely curious, not throwing shade. Even when I was managing a 20 person engineering team for a fast growing USA based startup I wasn't even seeing that much in salary + bonus. It was pre-IPO so the stock was illiquid. I was also interviewing 3-5 people a week and putting in employment offers every month and the market salaries (at the time, this was about two years ago) for senior react developers and even and experienced DevOps person never hit $200k.

I spent a year trying to do freelance (10ish years of experience and some major brands like NFL and Microsoft) and couldn't land anything close to that either, so I ended up getting a normal job.

I'm currently doing something similar to what you're doing (I live in Taiwan and work for a California company.) Where are you living where you have a 10% tax rate? Even Signapore's income tax isn't that low. I'm assuming when you say "take home 270k after taxes" you mean personal income taxes?

My suggestion of leetcode grinding was a bit tongue in cheek but I still think it's the least risky, most control-able way to reach that goal in three years.

Like I said though, I'm genuinely curious. I'm always down to learn about ways to make more money for less work :D
With Musk falling off his rocker lately, maintaining an alternate launch system may have been a wise decision.
You are arguing that a piece of software misses a metaphorical soul (something that cannot be measured but that humans uniquely have and nothing else does). That's an incredibly poor argument to make in a context where folks want interesting conversation. Religion (or religion-adjacent concepts such as this one) is a conversational nuke: It signals to anyone else that the conversation is over, as a discussion on religion cannot take forms that are fundamentally interesting. It's all opinion, shouted back and forth.

Edit: Because it is a prominent feature in the responses until now, I will clarify that there is an emphasis on "all" in "all opinion". As in, it is nothing but whatever someone believes with no foundation in anything measurable or observable.

Yeah, online file sharing sites of various types (dropbox, box, google drive) have basically replaced the USB stick in most cases. It's simpler to upload and send someone a link than find the stick.
Funny, for me it helps replacing another device that I canned twenty years ago: the printer. Every time I need to print something to feed some troglodite's requirement, I put a pdf in a pincho and go down the street to the call shop.

20 cents is absurdly expensive, but much less than maintaining a printer for one paper sheet a month at most.
This. I keep going back to Chat-GPT instead of Google or Wikipedia for exactly the same reasons.

It allows you to explore topics that are well understood, in a way that fits your own understanding and pace. It's like somebody writing a great mini-tutorial on topics you're interested in, in a pace and abstraction that suits you.

Examples for me are concepts of mathematics or computer science that I would like to freshen up on. Things you could also ask a colleague over lunch, or find eventually via searching Google/Youtube/Wikipedia etc. Just much faster and more convenient.

Japanese auteur creators would have had their works
greenlit if they'd had to pass some global
mass-marketability criteria

Agreed. Japan has produced a lot of properties with global appeal, but I can't think of any successful properties that were intentionally designed with the international market in mind.

The domestic Japanese manga scene is so competitive and so crowded... creators basically push themselves to within an inch of their lives trying to make it in that market, appealing to the home audience. Most don't succeed. The anime market is largely fueled by manga properties, so this is largely true for that industry as well.

The game market is somewhat similar, aside from the (absolutely enormous, but fairly singular) exception that is Nintendo.

I'm actually quite thankful for this. Despite much of it being readily available in a translated form for American audiences... maybe I'm fooling myself but it feels like Japanese pop culture has remained relatively undiluted.
Every other developed country is not way better than the US at healthcare. Cost in the US are high but there is also quality and availability, which the US ranks very high in.

That's a great point that I haven't seen in the GPT-related conversations. People view the fact that it can argue convincingly for both A and ~A as a flaw in GPT and limitation of LLMs, rather than an insight about human reasoning and motivation.

Maybe it's an illustration of a more general principle: when people butt up against limitations that make LLMs look silly, or inadequate, often their real objection is with some hard truths about reality itself.

Not to mention little reliability, especially in the latter years. Things got progressively worse going from 5¼" ~170K single-sided CBM-1541 to 5¼" 360K double-sided to 5¼" 1.2M to 3½" 720 to 3½" 1.44M. I never really used 8" floppies due to the lack of hardware so I can't say whether those were better or worse than their 5¼" successors but the hardware and (especially) media took a downturn in the latter years of the 3½" period.

Warhol made silkscreens and had other people pull the prints (not unusual) and was honest about what they were. (Prints Warhol pulled himself are thought on average to be worse quality than those pulled by his staff.)

You can buy a Warhold today for about $100 and that is remarkable for an artists of his stature but he is almost as imitable as Barbara Krueger and even I make wall art that mashed up Warhol with anime characters.

On the other hand, Warhol was known to hire an actor to make public speeches in his name.

We tend to think of risk management and secondarily the cost horizon of [re]building eroded technical competence, in the West, but hn commenter User23 also makes a point that is incredibly important and less often mentioned:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33939692

> " 'Indeed, besides the Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, and the Parliaments of Iceland and the Isle of Man, every organization [of 60+] in the western world that's been continuously operating since 1530 is a university.'

I believe this is why it's critically important that universities remain focused on their timeless mission rather than chasing secular fads. The Buxton index, described in the [link], is an incredibly important concept."

It's natural that we would think technology startups compelling due to the way they succeed with difficulty and risk management competence. But if their Buxton index of planning horizon is limited by their runway, and a decade is considered an Uber-long horizon, how futuristic and exceptional are we ultimately talking?

In the past, it must have been 2003-2008, I was sharing self-drawn comics and ideas how to improve on them with fellow artists, actually meeting them in real life sometimes at conventions. I was also active in a gaming forum plainly for discussing the lore and surrounding theories.

These communities had a real sense of community and weren't social just in name. I knew every day at 5pm a lot of new posts and threads would be starting to appear, from my forum friends and arch enemies alike.

Nowadays, these places are dead as people have moved on to large platforms long ago. This already killed all feeling of community but at least I had some nice comment exchanges and the absolute amount of content increased.

Then it got even worse. I cannot read a single post that isn't surrounded by trolling, astroturfing, psyops, advertisements and affiliate links or bot responses. Good example: as a German, it is very hard to ever discuss the topic of nuclear fission phase-out in a constructive and respectful manner. Especially on reddit, the canned and templated responses are really suspicious.

But it doesn't matter anymore, if it is discussions or content. Communities will be flooded and killed by bots while content is flooded and killed by generated SEO garbage (a lot of threads on HN about this as well). Unless you're explicitly browsing some decent sites like Wikipedia the Internet is already FUBAR compared to pre-2010 or so.

The Bot-trocity is happening and making it worse with every evolution of ChatGPT and so on. We cannot trust images or text anymore. Everything is a dream and nothing is real.
The philosophical zombie is fundamentally uninteresting as a conversational piece, as they are by definition indistinguishable from a "regular" person. For all we know, you could be one.
