My assumption would be 'fair use'. Artists themselves make use of this extremely often, like when doing paintovers on copyrighted images (VERY common), fan art where they paint trademarked characters (also VERY common). The are often done for commission as well.

AFAIK, downloading and learning from images, even copyrighted images, fall under fair use, this is how practically every artist today learns how to draw.

Stable Diffusion does not create 1:1 copies of artwork it has been trained on, and its purpose is quite the opposite, there may be cases where the transformative aspect of a generated image may be argued as not being transformative enough, but so far I've only seen one such reproducable image, which would be the 'bloodborne box art' prompt, which was also mentioned in this discussion.
I am not a lawyer but that is probably somewhere between the realm of derivative works [1] which the original author would have to approve and plagiarism as computerliker mentioned. I am only guessing but I would expect the court to determine how much of the original underlying work was used to create the new piece.

Might ML/GPT become a boon for copyright lawyers?

Why isn't the C-suite interested in secure coding?
Sure, but in those cases it's inherent complexity, not made-up and unnecessary complexity.
It's not hampering though, the "average user" can often get apps from elsewhere. Mainstream companies offer binaries available from their websites (Chrome, Slack, etc.) that don't require the App Store at all -- but most will have a signed Developer ID too (among other reasons) prevent the Gatekeeper bypass being needed.

Homebrew's search isn't better if the average user isn't familiar with or used to the command line.

The "possible unnotarized .dmg archives" is a straw man and distracts from the main point -- GP just doesn't want to spend the $99/year.

You've now got multiple people stating that your understanding of view of the average user seems substantially skewed, maybe it's worth taking a look at that.
It would be nice if someone explained the specific biological reason for why they are different. Like, because they target different types of cells, or reproduce in different ways.

The lay explanation of a virus is that it invades your cells and hijacks their machinery to make more of itself. That makes them all sound the same. For bacteria we at least can understand that they have different types of metabolism, come in different shapes, produce different defensive compounds, etc.
Hi there! Dagger (https://dagger.io) contributor here. Looks like Dagger could be a very nice fit for what you're looking for; it allows you to define your pipelines in either Go, Python or Typescript/JavaScript (more languages to come) as well as targeting multiple CPU platforms. Regarding monorepos, here's a link on how Dagger makes that experience quite nice: https://youtu.be/vJfoyN77fo0

The lawsuit doesn't make that distinction and the DeviantArt model is almost certainly based on SD 1.x
In that case, it becomes something that you would need to train.

https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning

And that is something that is doable.

Though just from prompt basics, though there was a story on NPR recently about Michelle Huang. She provided ChatGPT-3 on her diaries and then had a conversation with that tuned model.

https://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace-tech/how-ai-ca...

> Michelle Huang: Younger Michelle is trained on these diary entries. So I put in diary entries from the age of 7 to 18. I kept diaries for a really long time, and then ended up creating chat prompts where I had lines from a present Michelle. So I was able to ask my younger Michelle questions, and then the AI essentially just populated the younger Michelle text for what she would have theoretically answered based off of the diary entries that I was able to give her.

I suspect that an even more rigorous approach could be done by baking it into the model directly through the fine tuning methods. That would be a way to get around the 4k token limit and having ChatGPT pretend that something is the case.

The fine tuning of the model would be something to experiment with for a public figure where there exists a sizable transcribed corpus of interviews that are easy to convert into "prompt" and "response".

{"prompt": "What do you think of him, Socrates? Has he not a beautiful face?", "completion": "Most beautiful"},
{"prompt": "But you would think nothing of his face if you could see his naked form: he is absolutely perfect.", "completion": "By Heracles there never was such a paragon, if he has only one other slight addition."}

The author of this book was interviewed for a documentary. It’s kind of interesting to watch the author’s relationship to a book he wrote (I believe) in high school as a man of 66 years. Especially since he repeated tried to stop the book from being published, but couldn’t because the sold the copyright with the initial publishing deal.

wifi 6 is supposed to drastically improve the situation.

devices dont all share the same base frequency, they are spread out across the spectrum. so one slow device doesnt hog all the channels.

target wake time allows better coordination of when devices send, so AP can do some scheduling to prevent congestion within their network.

better power control also means devices should, in most cases, be using less tx power.

wifi 6 greatly greatly greatly enhances spectral efficiency, & i think with it the idea of having PAN clients seems entertainable if not outright appealing. we're already seeing mcu's like esp32-c6 make the switch, & more should follow- the potential power saving is too alluring to pass up, and it avoids so many of the issues wifi had with all mimo channels being blocked while one single channel slow device puttered along.
>At a private company a failure like this would see the CTO immediately fired and even the CEO having to beg the board for forgiveness and keeping their job.

If that sort of thing actually happened a lot more C level people would have been fired for over-hiring, but that rarely happens.
I figure there is an emergent behavior parasitical relationship where a subset of the population that benefit from pushing things to the edge of instability sometimes accidentally push things over the edge. We’ve not been able to reach a steady state symbiotic relationship due to the sheer size and duration of empires.
But you could avoid it being compressed twice, which can introduce additional artifacts.
I worked on a system in which the address decoding for the RAM mapped $0-$1FF to 256 bytes of RAM. Fortunately it was easier to do graphics on that than on the 2600

I love this intro about the M60 (Stockport to Stockport):

This is a zen motorway, achieving the highest plane of spirituality, adopting the lotus position and humming serenely. Why? Because it is the UK's only circular motorway, with no start and no end. Tarmac in eternity. Not even the mighty M25 manages that.

No, Docker is the new apt-get.

Snap actually uses the same container technology as Docker.

(Not a fan of Snap, though)
I think most people were intrigued because of the experimentation and just having that kind of knowledge (ability) at your fingertips. There's a very strong DIY mentality that gets spawned from information like this. I don't think the mere presence of such material should be discouraged for that very reason. Anyone who seriously wants to implement any of these projects for nefarious purpose will need an extraordinary amount of self-discipline to carry it out. Even if they succeed, it's hard to believe any will succeed without raising red flags. The societal benefits outweight the risks.
Rather than arguing about if/why the government was dishonest about this, at some point we need to come to terms with the fact that 3 years ago most Americans trusted the CDC and now that trust has been destroyed. So the question is, how do we fix it?

I would not expect this to happen quickly, but it needs to happen. I think to start the process, we need full disclosure and transparency and an actual apology from the government for the lies.
And they've got Fennel and some Fennel based frameworks to enable them to configure the Vim settings in a Lisp.
I think it is. Take away the training and there is no product.
Just wanted to say, I appreciate your measured responses throughout the thread. It’s sometimes a bit hard to be normal but with everyone calling you abnormal (or in this case, crazy) and it’s always nice to see someone who truly doesn’t care.

Radio is a great analogy for this. Compared to entire families coming come and sitting down in front of the national TV, I’d take social media any day.
An earlier report said that the operator had unintentionally clobbered a database file (the newspaper did not use the word "clobbered" but it is the correct term of art).
If manual entries are critical to a system, you can have one person enter the info and someone else to confirm the entry is correct. Not sure how common this is in other industries, but this was the method used at an extrusion manufacturing plant I once worked at.
Audiophile nerds have moved on to digital formats that are much higher res than CD or have gone 100% analog.
Thank you - insightful :-)

Perhaps that's the reason why a market succeeds under schumpeter but a planned economy (ie inside a large company) often fails
It used to be a lot better. Around iOS 13 (I think?) they moved from a heuristics-based model to a machine learning-based model and it's never been the same since. It's just frustrating now.

So basically, get a life? I agree.

You could rewrite this comment as "I think you are wrong here, I felt there are a range of experiences from both sides of the discussion." The HN guidelines are quite clear on this...
They obviously weren’t. It’s a finished product. Name one thing they’ve done in the last 3 years. You can’t, it’s the same fucking website it has always been.
It's not quite that simple. If everyone was being parsimonious with heat, yes. But I tend to turn my heat down to 50 at night and 65 during the day and if all my neighbors do 60 at night - 70 in the day, then on many days I can't really cool my apartment to 50 just because of their waste heat.

And in colder damper climates I do this intentionally to help inhibit mold growth etc. so am I free riding or are my neighbors causing my apartment to overheat?
The Vuelta of Spain was supposed to be a win for Bradley Wiggins, but his support Chris Froome faired much better. After Kobo lost, at the jury table, the win was awarded to Froome, then a support cyclist.
Image sharing sites routinely steal artwork from the web. My business has a unique logo with the business name in it. It has repeatedly shown up on such sites, despite repeated DMCA takedown requests.

Simply appearing on a shared hosting site should not be enough.
Write a greasemonkey script. There is probably already one out there that you can just install.
I recently got hired for a large tech company. Interview process was three months long with 4 separate rounds not including the initial 30min call with HR. The final round was approx 4hrs and was 5 45min interviews!

I was broken by the end of it. I understand that companies need to do their due diligence but honestly there was so much repetition in the interviews it could all have been slimmed down to 2 1hr interviews
Back in the eighties I went to a presentation by Moore on VLSI design featuring a GUI design tool he wrote in Forth. The physical user interface was via contacts taped to his fingers and thumb, he would touch them together to navigate the UI. We were very impressed.

I still have a tshirt that reads “Be Moore Like Chuck”…
The previous president of FIDE, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, was the autocratic ruler of Kalmykia, a semi-autonomous region of Russia. He regularly had dissenters and journalists imprisoned, tortured and murdered, and is under sanctions from the US government for aiding Bashar Al-Assad.

What I’m saying is that you really shouldn’t expect much from this organization in the human rights department. The “one country, one vote” rule it uses to elect Presidents practically guarantees that the winner will be whoever uses the most brazen vote-buying scheme.
For an entrepreneur who set out to fix a problem in the world, it can feel very wrong not to give customers the solution that you know you can give them, for mere capital reasons.
Sure. And yet extremely small amounts have no observable effects.
Usually you know the least at the start so your plans at that point are rubbish.
So you keep refining your plans .....

Who gets to do things that they have experience in all the time? Not me at lest. And what manual do you read ? There's almost never anyone who understands it all quite apart from having written "a manual".

Show HN: Shifu, a Kubernetes CRD to build your own physical metaverse
Should metaverse be completely virtual? Should it be simply a utopia created according to our needs? But what about the real world? Are we all just gonna discard it and escape to the virtual metaverse? That sounds both impractical and disastrous. I would much prefer a physical metaverse instead.

Wait... What the hell is a physical metaverse? In my opinion, it is a place where we can easily alter things around us to serve our needs. But how can we get there? Here's my answer -- IoT. If we can orchestrate various IoT devices with ease, then we are off to a good start. Smart home is a tangible example, it can be viewed as the prototype of a physical metaverse. Here comes the PROBLEM: how can we orchestrate all these heterogeneous IoT devices with ease? Here I proudly introduce you Shifu, a framework to build your own physical metaverse.

The idea of Shifu is quite simple: Shifu creates digtal twins for IoT devices in the form of Kubernetes pods. This way, we can quickly integrate heterogeneous IoT devices into the cluster, and expose their capabilities as APIs. It means Shifu will make building IoT APPs as simple as building web APPs.

Through a "device integration-- data acquisition-- app development-- decision distribution" feedback loop, Shifu enables developers to build their own physical metaverse. What's even better, Shifu is more than just a crazy idea. Shifu has been successfully deployed in various fully automated labs/factories and received exciting results.

Talk is cheap, it's time to show you the code. Please pay us a visit at https://github.com/Edgenesis/shifu, and join the revolution of building your own physical metaverse!!!

BTW, don't forget to give us a star! It means A LOT to us: ) Thx!
Probably not spite, but Tesla and SpaceX are exposed to government subsidies and contracts, respectively. If the next elections unlock another trillion in market value for his firms, this bet might look a lot better.

Small nit pick: Musk didn't put up $44 billion. His commitment is about half that, with the rest coming from other investors (e.g., a16z, Sequoia, individuals) and debt issued by Twitter, Inc.
> Yes it's me. :) Did we meet?

I'm a fan of Smalltalk and I used to follow your development of GNU Smalltalk.

What's happened to it? It seems to have fallen by the wayside.
that’s a little hyperbolic in the other direction though
A weird and not quite applicable expression, yet still not inconsistent with what I said.

You don't have to have a distorted view of reality to be in favor of something, nor to proselytise it.

You don't have to have a distorted view of reality to present a distorted view to others either.
Sometimes employees are pressured / instructed / trained to deviate from written instructions.

It can be justified as "the instructions are out of date", "this is an urgent change", "just get it done!", etc.

Heck, sometimes following the written rules is derided as "working to rule" or "takes longer than others to complete the task".

I'm just saying that blame for these issues only sometimes belongs on the line workers.
The engineer would have had a hard time convincing authorities that he was not a part of the fraud conspiracy. He made a very good decision not to participate. There really isn't a very plausible non-criminal explanation for why you'd create all those fake identities.
This is a great example of the general principle that what often gets dismissed as operator error is better recognized as design flaw.

When SpaceShipTwo broke up mid-flight, the FAA did not place all the blame on the pilot who accidentally engaged the feathering mechanism during ascent. They thoroughly dragged the aircraft's designers for producing a design that made it so easy to do such a thing in the first place.

They weren't willing to accept, "We said not to do it in the manual," as an appropriate safeguard in that case. Why are they doing it here?

If we want to call ourselves software engineers, we need to start holding ourselves and each other to higher standards. We can do better.
It's not sad. You have identified a problem in your life! That's awesome. No one has a life with no problems, so you're like the rest of us humans. Now you can decide how you are going to change your behavior. You might consider talking to a friend or maybe a counselor to help you identify changes and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Great to know that iOS has the same kind of thing, I was honestly surprised when I discovered it on android, it seems to go against the "engagement maximization" trend and all, I guess it shows that it's a serious enough topic
And the iPhone typing gets worse - I thought that I was getting worse at typing until helping a relative with their older iPhone (I have an XR). Typing on theirs was a breath of fresh air. I remember it being like that on my previous phones. My wife's iPhone pro max types just like mine. They are actually making it worse...
With a side dish of "we can't find any employees willing to work here"
"Worse is better" never had such a defensibly coherent meaning. There were gestures toward one, enough to fool people, but it mainly amounted to dressed-up sour grapes: "We would have won if not for those meddling kids!"

The fact is, Unix (and then Linux) was strictly better at the things people wanted to do, full stop.
Pitting developers against one another
>your cd rips are 8-12x more accurate than anything streamed of Spotify?...

I specifically typed accurate, not better.
Is there anything like this in Python or C#? I have worked with OCaml extensively in coursework, but there’s no chance I’ll be using it in prod any time soon and I’d love toying with this approach in my working languages.
Not making any suggestions. A couple of categories are free to watch and for a 20$ one time payment You can have access to everything
Maybe it's time for a re-brand with a new name. This worked for Joe Camel. Also, Christianity.
At first you were probably thinking of the meaning of "psychological".

Part of the confusion probably comes from words like "neurosis" or "neurotic" which in fact fall under the discipline of psychiatry.
Hi, I have this problem. I started using YouTube soon after it launched, in mid-2006. I still use the account that I created at that time.

I am subscribed to over 900 channels, and as I scroll through them I can remember fondly watching each one of them. Some of them haven’t produced content for many years.

According to the watch statistics in the YouTube app, in the last 7 days I have watched for over 43 hours. I would say this is a typical weekly watch time for me, with some weeks going up to 70 hours, if there is time off of work.

I have a full time software engineering job (at a fairly high level), and I don’t think that many of my coworkers would guess that I have this problem.

Most of these hours are spent actively watching the content, although I do cook, clean, and work out while watching YouTube as well.

I really want to reduce or elimiate the time I spend on YouTube. I have tried most of the tricks mentioned here: changing my phone to black-and-white mode, using alternative apps with no recommendations, deleting the apps, setting the time limit setting on my devices. Somehow, I always find myself in a habit of “getting around my own system”, to the point that it’s almost laughable how I’ve built up muscle memory for it.

I seriously feel as though I have a problem. Spending 40-70 hours a week on something that you don’t want to be doing is pretty severe. It is certainly affecting my health and other aspects of my life.

A true local, in person, twelve step program for this type of thing is something that I have been seeking for years.

As far as I can tell, this article is basically a fabrication for clickbait.

Sony has been making high-end portable music players for years now. There's still a lucrative market for personal music players among audiophiles, and Sony is one of the big names. They cost what they do, because Sony dedicates serious time and attention to the playback circuitry in these units. They sound phenomenal, even with extremely sensitive (and expensive) IEMs.

This isn't even a return to the "Walkman" branding. Models like the A105 and ZX507, or the uber-expensive WM1A and WM1Z, have been out for years.

https://electronics.sony.com/audio/walkman-digital-recorders...

This doesn't even appear to be any sort of anniversary edition. I can't find any explicit callback to the original Walkman in the marketing copy. There's no press release from Sony reminding us how far we've come from the original Walkman.

All that happened here is, Sony announced yet another product in a long line of similar products with consistent branding, price and featureset.
Spaces, Fleets, Birdwatch.

Those are 3 features from that time I'm familiar with as someone who doesn't use Twitter.
It's silly, but likely a combo of wanting to interview a number of candidates, and stringing you along while they talk to others, make-work for HR, and maybe some hand wringing indecisiveness.
How do you work that one out?

The average user shouldn't need to delve into the command line -- whether it's macOS, Windows, Ubuntu (for example), whatever -- that's the whole point of a GUI.

System Software (later Mac OS, for Mac OS 7.6 through Mac OS 9) didn't have a command line interface available. That did Apple pretty well from 1984 to 2001.

Mac OS X (and later OS X, then macOS) obviously have the Terminal app, but it is neither a requirement nor in common usage for the average desktop user.

Maybe don't be so classist and reductive? Not everyone hangs out on HN and uses terminal emulators regularly...
I agree with most of your points.

But I think the term "engineer" means more to you than it does most practitioners, unfortunately.
There are different movements/leanings of Anarchism, and some of them are outright mainstream in multiple countries (e.g. Anarcho-Capitalism is very popular in the US).
