All or nothing, in my opinion. Either abolish or severely reduce copyright, or abide by it.

The simple fact of the matter is that Disney and Getty invest a lot of money into these materials being out there in the first place. Open source programmers and artists spend a lot of time producing works for no cost other than some minor courtesies.

AI companies aren't your friend or the little mom ''n pop shop down the road. Their technology giants backed by billionaires. When it comes to Disney versus Google/Microsoft, I'm against both sides if it means giving up my rights.

Big AI taking your stuff and ignoring copyright law isn't some kind of protests against copyright, it's the very opposite; it shows that copyright doesn't matter if you have the money to defend yourself in court. Violate the the MPAA's copyright and you get extradited, violate some random person's copyright and you should feel honoured that people even want to steal your work.

In my opinion, the idea behind the current copyright system works fine if the terms weren't so ridiculously long. Restrict copyright to five or ten years and I'd be fine with the whole thing. This "70 years after the death of the author" crap is the biggest stifle on copyright adds.

Step 1 is wrong, it should read:

1. Write a feature

2. Test it

When your feature is your whole app "I want to build a TODO list app", your test is "I can write a TODO list app".

When you inevitably can't do that (because you cannot write a unit test for this), you break it down "I want to open a window/app", test that "can I launch the app window", and iterate.

"and still somehow greatly misunderstood"

It misunderstood because its presented as a methodology involving some testing suite or library, then you're constrained to testing things that may have little to no value, like testing that classes have data on them, or that you call functions and they return data.

And considering (most) engineer's first contact is something like a "write unit tests for the class you wrote", its understandable that its seen as a mixture of useless (often is) and arcane (often is) instead of an extension of a methodology for creating and validating features.

> The dogma most people see or claim to see is that TDD is meant to be used everywhere

And yet TDD preachers are never drawing the boundaries for TDD applicability. They are always extremely vague: "sometimes I see that TDD doesn't work for the problem that I'm solving and I don't use it". Well, how do you see it? What types of problems is it bad for?

If TDD works, they take credit. If it doesn't work, "it's just a tool" or "you used it wrong".

It is literally impossible to prove that TDD doesn't work. Which makes it a religion.
Also remember this game is P2P, there is no saving that on PC, on consoles it works because it's a "safe" environment but on PC even with rootkit levels of anticheat you don't have control over the machine running the game and can't prevent it from messing things up
> "I think that looks roughly like twice the work of that one we estimated before".

And by "twice the work" they mean takes twice as long. It's still time.

Anyway you could just say "2 days of work" with the understanding that duh, a senior can do it quicker than a junior. It's just an estimate anyway.

I can see how that could be useful for some teams. I guess the teams I've been on just haven't needed that kind of obfuscation.

In any case, I was talking about the many devs who insist it's not time even though it is. Having it be a sort of abstracted or obfuscated time increment is fine imo.

Why do people still compare Taiwan with Ukraine, can people not read maps? This isn't 1996 anymore. Contrary to the US China has hypersonic missiles that the US military admitted they work.

The area Russia has captured in Ukraine is 3 or 4 times the size of Taiwan. Ukraine borders a couple of NATO countries with huge borders, has pipelines going through its country that Russia didn't touch the entire conflict. Taiwan on the other hand is 150 miles away from China and thousands of miles away from its big backers. Most of eastern Ukraine was Soviet infrastructure heavily fortified over 8 years. Taiwan on the other hand is mostly uninhabitable mountains that barely have roads going through them with very densely populated cities on the west.

Taiwan gets its oil and gas from Indonesia and most of its resources from China. Last time they did missile drills they had to stop them because the launchers failed.

China just embargoed the island for a couple of days and nothing could move in an out. China doesn't really need to do anything to win. There isn't really any scenario where this plays out in Taiwans favour. The US can't even keep up with Russia's ammunition production[1], how would it match China's manufacturing?

While the US moves their warship through the area every now and then as a show of power everyone agrees that there is no protection from hypersonic or even most supersonic missiles and that much of the US Navy are sitting ducks if there were ever a real conflict.

Biden was born in 1942 and believes the world is stuck in the 90s. It's extremely dangerous to think and act like that.

Asking Chat GPT to write code, and it spitting out valid, working code scared some people.

Having code that compiles/runs and answers the question asked isn't the job of a programmer.

if chat GPT can handle integration hell, the last 10% of the job that sucks up 90% of the time, the polish, sanding of rough edges and greasing of the wheels to make things flow, all the weird customer requests and magical woo woo buzzwords into a functioning product - then yeah people are fucked.

But for now, its just "neat"
But by "complexity" people pretty much always mean "how long it'll take", so it's still time. If something was complex in an abstract way but quick to implement, it would get a small number of story points, not a large number.
> Humans are constantly ingesting gobs of "copyrighted" insights that they eventually remix into their own creations without necessarily reimbursing the original source(s) of their creativity.

Yes, and humans are being found liable for copyright infringement for doing so. All that's needed to establish liability is access and substantial similarity; the bar for the latter can be very low indeed (see Williams et al. v. Bridgeport Music et al.).
Thanks for drawing my attention to the long exact sequence*; if I'm interpreting it correctly, the injection at 𝛼 and projection at 𝛽 split, so we have a direct sum: H(X,∅) ≃ H(X,A) ⊕ H(A,∅)?

(never mind the function analogy, I was trying to handwave a quotient in the other direction but that would fall immediately out of the direct sum if I understand correctly: A ≃ (A⊕B)/B and B ≃ (A⊕B)/A?)

* which forms a Möbius band in its own way, because at H(A,∅) we feed it into 𝛼 as ∅ ⊕ Cycles(A) but get it out of 𝛾 as Cycles(A) ⊕ ∅, leading to a "twist"?

Years ago AAA was good. But the few times I’ve used them over the past decade, it has been a PITA every time.
A few points:

1. China relies on chemical and oil imports to create the fertilizer that feeds the country. Cut off these imports and China won't be able to feed itself.

2. Much of China's top exports are processed imports: e.g. China is the world's largest exporter of steel but imports most of its pig iron. The country isn't really "resource rich" in the way the USSR or USA is.

3. In most sectors of manufactured goods, China is only capable of mass-producing low quality goods and so the country is reliant on other countries to provide higher quality goods. Steel is a good example again, China is not only the world's largest exporter of (low quality) steel, it's the world's largest importer of steel, mostly medium and high quality.

> If you want bigger returns you will have to accept higher risks.

Only in a perfectly spherical economic market. In an efficient market rewards are a function of risk. Lots of founders talk about their secret sauce: information they knew that other competitors did not. Information is not equally known, and economic rents exist, so there are areas where bigger returns are available for less risk. And there are definitely lots of examples where high risks do not have expected high returns!

There's a large overlap between experienced debuggers and reverse engineers, because the tracing of a broken program is really a reverse engineering problem in disguise.
What you are saying is that Old Testament (a core source) literally says Earth is 6000 years old (or to be more precise you can add a few literal facts from it to get that number), but current believers generally ignore that because they believe the text is not actually a literal telling of events. This is exactly what "core source contradicts data, but followers choose to ignore it" means.

I was about 10 when stumbled upon carbon dating (being already familiar with children adaptation of Old Testament from grandma's library), at at that point it was clear Christianity is horseshit and the biggest mistery became why so many people still believe a fairy tale.
Everytime you install a package through poetry, you're also running pip code.

You didn't even understand the point they made: the need for Pipenv and poetry would pretty much go away if pip added support for a proper lockfile and venvs. And that's the only correct choices as pip is already pythons package manager.
It's a little premature, fine, but I want to start liquidating my rhetorical swaps here: I've been saying since last summer (sometimes on HN, sometimes elsewhere) that "prompt engineering" is BS and that in a world where AI gets better and better, expecting to develop lasting competency in an area of AI-adjacent performance (a.k.a. telling an AI what to do in exactly the right way to get the right result) is akin to expecting to develop a long-lasting business around hand-cranking people's cars for them when they fail to start.

Like, come on. We're now seeing AIs take on tasks many people thought would never be doable by machine. And granted, many people (myself included to some extent) have adjusted their priors properly. And yet so many people act like AI is going to stall in its current lane and leave room for human work as opposed to developing orders of magnitudes better intelligence and obliterating all of its current flaws.

> One possible best practice would be to allow authors to specifically opt out of use of their output for ML training.

If it’s a copyright matter, I don’t see how that could work. It’d need to be opt-in, or covered by an explicit license grant (and terms and conditions are being ignored to the point that I gather some jurisdictions’ courts are pretty much striking down anything that a reasonable person wouldn’t expect to be there, and so it wouldn’t surprise me if such an approach would strike down any grant asserted in T&Cs).

> for software authors, prohibiting ML training would be antithetical to the Open Source Definition

If it’s a copyright matter, this wouldn’t be the case, because it wouldn’t be discrimination against a particular field of endeavour, but rather simply insisting on the terms of the license.

People who made or bought out the content get to have the content. I don't necessarily see the problem with that except for the ridiculous amount of time copyright remains valid.

If a company invests $250 million into an original movie, I don't see why they shouldn't have some say over their content for at least a couple of years. Not until 2150 or whatever the end date for modern works is supposed to be, but give it some time at least.

OpenAI is the result of billions being thrown around. When it comes to billions, it doesn't matter if they come from Disney, Google, Microsoft or Amazon. None of these companies have our individual rights at heart, they only care about profits.

In this rare occasion, the interests of the people and Disney align. The laws protecting the independent writers/programmers/artists are the same ones that protect Disney.

The tools themselves work on arbitrary data sets. Anyone who can dig up enough public domain/attribution free pictures/code/text can train their own AI without even coming close to copyright issues. Hell, had these super smart AI people managed to find out a method of attribution, the data set would include massive amounts of works released under Creative Commons or open source licenses.

> "Runtime value" is an implementation detail. You could write an Idris interpreter.

Sure. And such an interpreter would still not interpret types at runtime, as types are not (runtime) values.

Only at type-checking time (which is of course a phase before the program actually runs / gets interpreted) you would do anything with the types.

> It'd be useful too. Why should your whole project fail to run just because one file that's not going to get used has a type error?

Whether that would be anyhow "useful" depends on the definition of "file usage".

If there's any reference form the "used" parts of the program to the "unused file" you have a problem:

A type error (in a language where "programs as proves" is a thing) means that you "proved" false. But form a "prove" of false you can "prove" anything! So you actually lost all proving power. Your program may now explode at runtime with arbitrary type errors anywhere. At that point your "static type system" becomes completely useless.

(Of course, if nothing in your "unused file" is referenced anywhere in the "used" files, noting happens. But in this case that "unused file" isn't part of your program, so it's completely irrelevant what's inside anyway.)
It gets called plagiarism, and there are lots of lawsuits preventing this.
