I'm pretty sure at this point high end digital cinema cameras can straight up outperform film in all but the most extreme cases (like giant IMAX negatives maybe) but that's also a much more recent development than most people would think.

More freedom in post allows more freedom to do things audience may or may not like but I don't think it's technical limitations holding things back anymore.

Similarly I'm a bit dubious on the LED lighting comment by the anonymous redditor.
Yes LED color rendering used to be pretty horrible but these days it really doesn't have to be. all the major LED manufactures have high end white parts for color critical applications and even color mixing is actually good now with the advent of phosphor converted broad spectrum colored LEDs.

All this stuff increases the available creative space but at the same time it might not be easier to find the good stuff in a larger space

The license is the contract. Literally.

Can you find one nonFLOSS license that doesn't have restrictions or limitations?

I mean, you lead with obnoxious, then descended into condenscension, all while not realising that the whole point of the license is to restrict the licensee.
>Occam's Razor says: or the companies just want to rehire new people at lower pay.

Do you have any idea how much it costs to recruit replacement developers? Between the cost for recruiters, the amount of time spent on interviews, and ramp-up time for new hires, you'd need to lower wages by a significant amount (eg. 30%) for you to be able to get payback in a reasonable amount of time. Not to mention, if you're a startup, the loss of institutional knowledge will greatly hamper your ability to execute.

Ask HN: Resources for Building a Video Editor?
As a personal project to learn video processing, I'd like to try and build a video editor similar to LosslessCut. Are there any resources that teaches one the concepts needed to make software of this sort?
Because sometimes digital footage has to be matched to film. Alternatively, some directors enjoy film artifacts just like some people enjoy analog distortion artefacts in audio.

Additionally, you seem to be asking a lot of leading questions but not volunteering any opinions of your own. Is there something you'd like to share?
> Yep it’s a very narrow focus on one person

That one person being Abraham. Hence "Abrahamic". If the adjective were "Davidic" you'd have a point, but the whole premise of the "Abrahamic religions" label is that they trace their religious genealogy back to Abraham. The label makes no claim about any shared history since then.

EDIT: And as far as your claim of a lack of spiritual kinship—do you know anything about any of the non-Abrahamic religions? When you set Hinduism or Shinto into the mix, Islam practically looks like a sect of Christianity.
Cool, so people that want that effect on their movies can use it, it hardly sounds like something everyone would want every time though.

I honestly wonder why such a book costs $150.

As a layperson, I would have thought that not dying from electric shock must be a pretty timeless body of knowledge. So I’d expect the cost of research, writing and publishing to have been spread out over many decades, in contrast to other literature. How come the book is so relatively expensive? Does electrical code change so often?

> It is clearly not true that a single counter example rules out systemic understanding of rules for ALL intelligent systems.

I didn't say anything about "intelligence", the OP is not about "intelligence".

The OP claim is, "we find interesting evidence that simple sequence prediction can lead to the formation of a world model". A world model, an accurate one, is a very different thing than a statistical model. An inaccurate world model is indistinguishable from a statistical model.

An accurate world model, definitionally, does not make mistakes. These models are trivial to produce, classical chess engines are accurate world models.

> Human intelligence is offered as the case in point.

I think you've hit on a more interesting point about human intelligence, that it is often not an accurate world model, which means it is inaccurate or more likely, statistical in nature.

> So, given that the statement is not true for all systems, by what logic do you conclude that the statement is true specifically for an LLM?

So what we're left with is that OthelloGPT (and humans, but again, what's going on with humans is irrelevant to the study of an LLM) is in one of two scenarios, it either:

A) Has an inaccurate world model, or we might say, an accurate world model of a game that is not Othello

B) Is still basically just a curve fitting algorithm, which there's all the evidence in the world to suggest it is

It sits upon the authors to distinguish between these two choices, and they never offer any evidence either way. So I side with B.
The desire for protection isn’t the same as saying 230 actually applies. The case made it to the Supreme Court because it isn’t clear where exactly the law does and does not apply.

User content and the promotion of user content are different things. If Facebook picks a specific message out of the billions posted they can find basically any message ever said. The choice of a handful of messages to post on a TV commercial moves the message from user content to Facebook’s message.

Legally 230 could be limited to direct content and it’s moderation (removal) but not cover manual curation. Similarly purely algorithmic feeds may be yet another meaningful distinction.

It’s a surprisingly complicated topic and I doubt the Supreme Court will make a broad ruling covering every case.
I think that’s the key problem: the ad money makes it hard to see other models as viable because nothing they do now will be anywhere near as profitable over the very short timeframes they evaluate product or personnel performance. If you give up almost immediately, you have nothing waiting to help the company in a dark time for the primary revenue stream – and each time they’ve made it harder for a new product to be successful because people expect it to be cancelled.
That's the thing I'm talking about though. I don't care that you associate better motion with bad soap operas.

One point Brooks touches on that I'm a bit surprised doesn't get more discussion is hands-off autonomous highway driving in some form to some degree. Long distance highway driving--a fair bit of which can be in fairly light traffic--would be a big win for a lot of people. No it doesn't address the wishes of those who don't want to learn to drive or own a car, but it's still a big convenience (and presumably safety) win and seems a lot easier in general.

Any program that is GUI first (like keepass) cannot be the standard UNIX password manager. Furthermore, `pass` fits nicely into the philosophy of small reusable components. It is a small amount of shell scripting wrapped around two other commonly used tools: Git and GPG.
That's not true. Section 230 is based on a principle that someone is responsible for the content a post, and creators and publishers don't get to both deflect responsibility to the other.

Next, YC would be the relevant entity, not dang personally. (But that's a minor point because dang is part of YC. )

The difference between you and YC is that YC actually collects posts and re- publishes them.

Users simply tell YC if they like a post or not. They don't transmit the post content to anyone.

YC decides whether to grey a post or remove it, or keep it. Showing a post higher or lower on a page doesn't mean anything related to whether the post violates some law and someone needs to be held responsible.

Reddit mods are closer, since they have specific power to ban a post or poster.
The `human learning` argument comes a lot in every discussion about copilot, but it's a completely different thing, and misleading.

The resistance involves copyright lawsuits and online bullying to attack people using AI. That's exactly what I mean by "resistance"

>I think they're against people scraping their work and on selling it ? I'm not saying they're right or wrong, but there is a difference to what you're claiming.

I already told you that's an excuse. Google and thousands of AIs and other megacorps have been scraping artists work for decades. The backlash wasn't a big deal then. Why suddenly is it a huge problem when AI art hits an inflection point and can produce art that's equal in quality to the artist?

Because the copyright isn't the real problem. It's the AI. Heck when the AI looks at the art it scrambles the art and encodes it into Memory the same way YOU encode the art into your memory. Does that mean by looking at art you are copying it? Why don't other artists have a problem with you looking at art and copying it into your memory?

Because you can't use that memory to produce original works of art in the same style as the artists. That's why the artist doesn't give a shit about you copying the art into your brain. They do give a shit about DALL-E copying the art into it's neural net because these AI's can potentially replace them.
I'm not on a team, but the notion from the pro AI people that licensors cannot add restrictions on their material is, frankly, childish in its logic.

Almost all big companies routinely have licenses which heavily restrict how their software may be used, and the licenses have held up time and time again in various jurisdictions around the world.

The only argument you appear to be presenting is "well and don't like it that way".

Tough. It's already that way and has been so for dozens of decades .

There's a small factual error here, Brooks says Artemis II will launch in May 2004, while Artemis III will land on the Moon in 2025.

According to NASA's Inspector General [1], Artemis II can launch no sooner than 27 months after Artemis I, which would push the mission into 2025. Similarly, the Inspector General believes the first Moon landing can come no sooner than 2026. [2]

Note also that this Moon landing depends on a completely untested technology (in-orbit fuel transfer); the landing craft will require 4-8 additional launches to top off its tanks. [3]

Personally, I would be shocked to see a lunar landing before 2027. There are just too many things that would have to go right on the first try to make a 2026 deadline.

Not that I'm against having kids, but this argument is silly. If you feel that your values and culture are worth preserving, it's much more effective to write a book.
I'll translate your messages so you'll understand how you sound to customer support:

"I reported a security valley to LastPass’s bug boopy bopy.

Please ask your security team to look at the linked bug boopy bopy ticket. The teetee team shat the bed."

"Allow me to explain carefully.

I followed the steps in your security page, yes. I reported the issues I found to bowy.

However, bowy employees take it upon themselves to teetee issues on behalf of their customers.

In this case, the bowy employees shat the proverbial bed and incorrectly dismissed an issue I reported. Because the issue was closed as Not Applicable (erroneously), it’s unlikely that your security team will notice it without escalating some awareness of this teetee error to them.

So please pass that onto your security team so they’re aware to look in the Rejected tab."

"This is the order of operations so far:

I identified a coopy seesee-channny in the LastPass software.
I reported the issue to bowy with a detailed analysis and a patch for making the funky conta tammy like it was intended to be.
Several days after I reported it, a bowy employee stupidly went “no FOL expee? not applicable” and closed it erroneously.
I’ve contacted toto support with one goal in mind: To ensure your security team actually sees the report in spite of bowy closing it.
I don’t care about whether or not your team overrides their decision. I just have an ethical obligation to disclose security issues.

If this isn’t resolved by 5:00 PM Eastern today, I’m going to say “Fuck it” and go Full Disclosure.

Escalate. Tell me when you’ve escalated.

I don’t need your help beyond that."

"Thank you for escalating.

I don’t understand your question. I reevee egengi your software to study how it works, found a valley, and then reported it."

That's how you sound. All he could notice is that you have something with shitting in beds twice, and that you "Fuck it". I bet from confusion he asked his manager what to do and the manager replied that you are a phishing email, and he didn't even understand that.

If you do end up needing to talk to people who wouldn't understand you, explain nicely what are your credentials, don't shit in beds, and ask nicely to get direct contact with someone responsible who can understand you. Not broken telephone. Don't speak to people in gibberish to them.

And honestly, shitting in beds is an uncommon saying and universally gross. Keep that shit to yourself.

You're trying to communicate professionally, not be that barking dog shitting in beds. It's not the world's fault they can't take that seriously. It is your choice. Your words. Your image and communication isn't there to serve your internal identity, it's there so that people will respect you and take you seriously.

I couldn't care less how you present yourself, but I assumed you're at least not oblivious to how you sound and look to everyone. I don't mean to insult, just to put a mirror. And to remind you this is your choice.

Digital is vastly superior to film for photography. I shoot both, sometimes side by side. What differs is that film is more pleasing to the eye without significant post processing, digital requires it.

But in both cases, if you get your photo in the viewfinder before you get in the camera, digital always comes out better in the end. There’s simply so much more information captured, and you can in fact get more stops of DR with digital than with film.

Edit: To add to the above, I use a light meter and check DR in post processing. Film is usually good for 8-9 stops of DR (depending on film type) and is better in overexposed scenes with bright lights. Digital generally gets 12-14 stops of DR and handles underexposed scenes better at constant ISO.

Another factor is that in dark scenes due to finer grains, digital is capable of running higher ISO in producing recoverably usable photos with denoise filters (Nik’s Tools). On my current rig, ISO 3200 is usable, on film typically ISO800 is the max I would run, there are a few good ISO 1200 films though, but they are black and white. ISO isn’t directly analogous between film and digital, but it’s close enough for the purpose of this comparison.
I've said it and I say it again, most or some of the reasons why it looks weird to us (people who grow up with a TV) come down to camera quality.

Most TV camera setups were about lighting and the needed amount.

Since a few years cameras are so good, we have almost real blacks and real whites sometimes even in the same frame and its naturally filmed and does not look like total shit. We have crazy aperture sizes and we use them and there is the often coitized gaussian/blur backgrounds. We have very sharp images even with very bad lightning conditions so some movies are very dark.

I think like the younger ones are already very used to it and wonder about "how odd old films look".

It’s more like complaining about higher resolution reproductions of a Van Gogh, because you grew up with dial-up internet and could only view highly compressed JPEG reproductions of Van Gogh so “that’s just how Van Gogh is supposed to look, these high fidelity digital reproductions look like desktop wallpaper.”

No one is saying that filmmakers couldn’t use lower frame rates as a deliberate stylistic device, similar to how 12 FPS can be used in films now (or black and white, or out of focus images, etc.), or even that all films previously shot in 24 FPS would be better if the frame rate was doubled with no other stylistic changes.
