This seems poorly argued. There's a lot of emphasis on technical minutiae, but the question is whether the way the model embeds and reproduces the features of the input images infringes on copyright. I would think that is more dependent on the capabilities and functions of the models, not the specific mechanism of implementation.

Also, the Jevon's paradox bit is a tangent. AI image tools may become widespread, and their use may expand the art market, benefitting artists who make use of them. That is not a relevant point, because the lawsuit is not about the legality of image-generating neural networks; It is about whether using an unlicensed image to train such a model infringes on its copyright. If it was found that it does, then AI art could still transform the art market; All that would change would be that images would need to licensed for training.
Has anyone been held accountable for the previous transgressions?
Secure Boot can be configured to also trust user keys. Ubuntu's installer does it automatically if you choose to install it with third-party drivers (like Nvidia). Those user keys are then available to root to sign any DKMS kernel modules.

Siri Suggestions is disabled on the machine in question (and has been, though I just confirmed that it is off) and this still happened. I have manually disabled every Apple network service that I know of (in the OS UI), and have denied all network access (via LS) to a dozen+ OS processes that phone home.

That is unfortunate. I'd hate to have to move off of KDE. It's been great up to this point.
You directed the model to create an image of Mickey Mouse. You would also be the one who would then decide to 1.) hang that picture on your wall which is totally legal even if you photocopied a still from a Disney cartoon or 2.) put that image on a t-shirt and sell it.

You, and only you, are liable.
Isn't this because Florida is likely to make or break the US Presidential election? There are many ex-Cubans in the Miami area that despise the current Cuban government. Enough, that as a bloc they can decide the election and they will mostly vote for whoever's policy is against the Cuban government. Either party defecting from status quo to drop sanctions will just be handing the US government to the other party.

Building internal tools using LLM's
Hey people!

Our team is exploring the potential of using Generative AI to revolutionize the way organizations work. We are developing a tool that allows users within organizations to trigger and combine actions exposed from within their organization's applications, by leveraging the reasoning power of Generative AI. This eliminates the need for internal training of users and app-building, freeing up developers to focus on more complex tasks. Check out our demo at https://youtu.be/GxwQlPnpeV8 and join our waitlist at http://bit.ly/3CPIVlK on our website https://razzle.ai.

We would like to hear your thoughts and ideas on this concept and how Generative AI can change the way organizations work and benefit developers by providing a more intuitive and efficient way to access and utilize the functionality of their applications.
There is almost no value to paying someone else to manage your retirement funds when you can do the same thing they do for 0.03% to 0.08% expense ratios with a target date retirement fund from vanguard/Schwab/fidelity or mix and match the various broad market stock/bond funds.

It’s a pip-ism; as far as I know, it’s not defined in any PEP. It should be in their documentation, however.
So it will make stripping the DRM for personal use (and, I suppose, sharing with friends) infeasible, while doing little to prevent it from showing up at piracy sites.

It's not a Tesla thing, it's just battery chemistry. Virtually all EVs are being sold with NMC batteries which don't like sitting at 100%. We're starting to see a few LiFePO4 cars arrive on the market, which is a heavier but much more durable chemistry. Most of those are BYD cars, with a few other Chinese brands.

Except if you give over the $17k/person, then you're supposed to file a federal 709 to report and track the lifetime amount, and if you're lucky enough to have estate tax it will add to that. Whereas if you're under the annual exclusion, there is no paperwork. So the vast majority of people want to just stay under the annual exclusion amount. If someone needs more than $17k this year, call the rest a loan and you can choose to forgive it next year.

> It's great that it was "never complicated" for you.

Please stop making it sound like the commenter was bragging. That's just having bad faith in HN users.

The comment was about how the context and prior understanding of the underlying topics is a necessary prerequisite for understanding complex topics built on those and how blog learning is a necessarily contrived method of teaching.

It does not mean it won't work for some. If you happen to have the prior understanding of the prerequisites then it'd be a way to learn some additional insight, but you shouldn't assume the Venn diagram for that audience is much larger than a small % of the readers.
I've never been able to understand how this is even a colorable argument, and yet it comes up all the time. Yes: the term of copyright lasts long after the death of the artist. But it's that term that gives value to the work in the first place; it's what enables artists to sell their work to distributors.
I've always thought the meteorite strike was a black flag operation from the Federation to justify war with the bugs because the bug's planet it's at the opposite side of the galaxy and the meteorite wasn't traveling at FTL.
Selection pressure on science courses is largely around fulfilling prerequisites for the following course or exam. With a few university programs also polling recent graduates about what they have/haven't found useful. The connection between these, and transferable understanding of the physical world, is ... problematic.

A pre-K science educator once suggested children have a human right to make sense of their world, "now" rather than several lifetimes later. Perhaps they imagined adapting existing K-12 content to pre-K.

But consider "color", widely taught around K. First-tier physical-sciences graduate students often reply to "What color is the Sun?" with answers like "it doesn't have a color" and "it's rainbow colored", reflecting foundational misunderstandings of color. Suggesting the challenge here isn't adapting working content to a younger audience, it's a lack of working content. And not just for "that falls through the gaping cracks" topics. At a first-tier university, asked what students entering intro-genetics from intro-bio most lacked, a noted professor replied "a firm grasp of central dogma". Which is foundational, and is taught, repeatedly - repeatedly unsuccessfully.

Consider someone suggesting liberal arts majors should study "science" ... as an old-school whole-class call-and-response exercise in mindless memorize-and-regurgitate. One might wonder if that would largely be a waste of their time. Not because their lives couldn't be enriched by understanding science, but because there's so little connection between this form of science education and that potential enrichment.

Science for non-majors is sort of a science education research area. But how much better are we set up to support it, than a call-and-response culture would be?

As for making sense of the physical world, for pre-K, liberal arts, or first-tier physical-sciences graduate students? What's that phrase ... Big Hairy Audacious Goal.
Ok sure. We’ll just give you tax advice and not tell you what country it pertains to.

I don't think this is really a legal interpretation.

If someone was distributing a password protected zip-file where if I type in "Mickey Mouse", I get a photo of Mickey Mouse, the zip file violates copyright. It doesn't matter that the underlying representation of Mickey Mouse is distorted in storage and recovered later. It doesn't matter that in order to retrieve the image, I have to go through a series of operations.

Of course, if I opened the zip file and put the image on a t-shirt, I would also be violating copyright. But the zip file itself is copyright infringing.

> Legalities of this? They seem to be getting away with it.

The US government runs PACER itself, they don't contract it to a profit-motivated third-party. [1] As a result, they're pretty lenient. At one point, their website said: "The information gathered from the PACER system is a matter of public record and may be reproduced without permission".

So it's totally legal.

The RECAP people also make it _really_ easy to ingest documents. For example, lawyers can add a RECAP email address as one of their default contact addresses with the court. Then all filings on any case that lawyer is involved in get automatically ingested when they are filed.

[1]: Well, they outsource the administration to a third-party. But it seems more like a "we pay you, you keep the lights on", vs a public-private partnership where the third-party has a profit incentive based on the revenue of the service.
If you don't mind adding a pyproject.toml, you could use pipx[1] to install these scripts. The directory structure would look like this:

<name>/
pyproject.toml
<name>.py

The pyproject.toml would look like this (using poetry, but you could use a different tool for this):

[tool.poetry]
# NOTE: Set <name> to your project name
name = "<name>"
description = "My Script"
version = "0.0.0"
authors = ["Me <me@example.com>"]

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.11"
requests = "^2.28.2"

[tool.poetry.scripts]
# NOTE: Change <name> to match your package name in [tool.poetry]
<name> = "<name>:main"

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

Then you'd run `pipx install -e .` and the the executable script will be installed in ~/.local/bin.

Nice of them to do that at least. It's a shame they're not open sourcing it for third party firmware though, if it can manage streaming games it must have a decentish processor.
getinsights.io is good and privacy friendly and has a nice free tier.
Because the outcome informs the choice.

Regardless of the pithiness of the aphorism, if the result of its application is the destruction of a site like HN then it doesn't matter what the aphorism says - it's functionally a HN-destroying bomb. It's a deontological reversal. When someone points out the consequences of the action, the intentions necessarily become the realization of those consequences.

So why shouldn't they be liable? Because that liability is yoked directly to its destruction. They are inseparable.

I said "spotty", not nonexistent. Many distributions patch around the lack of suitable support by vendoring all dependencies and locking their versions, making it hard to see the dependency graph from the package manager, scan for vulnerabilities, patch/fix a library across the entire distribution, etc etc.
I don't think most people see car commuting as a luxury. It's very stressful.
The category of Black people was invented by bigots for the purpose of discrimination. Sometimes they invented rules to codify the discrimination, but they were never founded on any rational difference between people. Trying to undo the harm of bigotry along similar lines will be similarly arbitrary. Not saying we shouldn't try, but don't expect an airtight logical specification.

I don't think there's usually need to have a separate ping timer: just have each client send the sequence number of the last received packet in their response, and the receiver can subtract what they think the game state should be at vs what they're really at to determine the difference in time every packet without having to only be able to sync up the time every ~2 seconds.

AFAIK there are no phones on the market with open-source baseband firmware, so you have to trust one of Qualcomm, Broadcom et al with access to all cellular communication. Do you have a best of breed supplier you’ve vetted?
I agree with the essential point that no one exists in isolation, we all build on the work of others, but I don't see how your last sentence follows from the previous statements. We can all have the same background, but that doesn't make us all the same. There's strong evidence, for example, that genes play a large role in how we behave.
The algorithm itself tries to learn to remove noise. This part of algorithm is undeniably a learning process, evidenced by the fact that it gets better along the training process. It just happens to be that, in order to remove noise, you need to have an understanding of the underlying thing(probability distribution), so in order to learn to remove noise, it needs to learn the images. I don't understand how a mathematical function by definition can't learn, since it's just a language we use to describe what's going on.
They did not have firmware which could handle acting as a Bluetooth controller. That's what the new binary you can flash has.
I can't find it now, but Dolphin used to have a rather demoralizing web page that listed user stereotypes (something like "Joe is a corporate developer", "Bob is an artist...", "Fred is an enthusiast..." and basically amounted to if you've been a linux enthusiast since you were a teenager, we don't want to hear your feedback. I can't find it now, I hope they deleted it. I know creating such stereotypes is or was common practice in corporate software design, but it's vile.

IIRC KDE4 wasn't as much breaking existing usage patterns but pushing intrusive things like desktop widgets and generally trying to lock me into tightly integrated system. I remember it was really easy to create a desktop note by accident and somehow really difficult to delete one. KDE3.5, or Xfce for that matter, felt more like something that is good for launching apps, managing desktop and some generic utilities. The clumsy UI design didn't also help.
Why would the jet and the radiation emitted by such objects be limited to the plane of the galaxy? AFAIK their axis, and thus the direction of emission are randomly distributed.

Doesn't matter in which direction you are positioned, except for distance. Which would mean the really deep space between galaxies. But then you'd have to watch out for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seyfert_galaxy ies, too!

Whose jet's could fry us even more easily, because 'out there', we wouldn't be protected by the pressure of solar/stellar/galactic wind, dust clouds, nebula, which could protect us (if we are lucky).

Children have a "responsibility" for their parents in the same way that a tourist has a "responsibility" to give money to those people who run up and tie a bracelet to your wrist, then demand payment. It was a unilateral action - the tourist didn't ask for it, even if they (or did not) benefit from it.

"Kind"? "Nice to do"? Sure.

But a responsibility? Absolutely not.
You should hear the corporatized therapy advice on tiktok.

It's full of nuggets like:

- you're not responsible for your parents, you should never have to take care of them because they gave birth to you.

- you owe you family nothing.
