Billboard Utilising Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions
My biggest critique of OpenRAIL is that it's not entirely clear that AI is copyrightable[0] to begin with. Specifically the model weights are just a mechanical derivation of training set data. Putting aside the "does it infringe[1]" question, there is zero creativity in the training process. All the creativity is either in the source images or the training code. AI companies scrape source images off the Internet without permission, so they cannot use the source images to enforce OpenRAIL. And while they would own the training code, nobody is releasing training code[2], so OpenRAIL wouldn't apply there.

So I do not understand how the resulting model weights are a subject of copyright at all, given that the US has firmly rejected the concept of "sweat of the brow" as a copyrightability standard. Maybe in the EU you could claim database rights over the training set you collected. But the US refuses to enforce those either.

[0] I'm not talking about "is AI art copyrightable" - my personal argument would be that the user feeding it prompts or specifying inpainting masks is enough human involvement to make it copyrightable.

The Copyright Office's refusal to register AI-generated works has been, so far, purely limited to people trying to claim Midjourney as a coauthor. They are not looking over your work with a fine-toothed comb and rejecting any submissions that have badly-painted hands.

[1] I personally think AI training is fair use, but a court will need to decide that. Furthermore, fair use training would not include fair use for selling access to the AI or its output.

[2] The few bits of training code I can find are all licensed under OSI/FSF approved licenses or using libraries under such licenses.
Yes, Apple only cares about allowing supported software to easily keep running. This means they can implement more modern and secure systems than Microsoft is able to achieve. It's also the reason Windows is plagued with 32 bit software currently in development as MS has no way to push for the removal of obsolete features.
This is helpful feedback. Thanks!
Exact same here. My most popular tool is one I don't use because I no longer play the game the tool is for.
The traumatising experience of SQL is that the scenario you describe being scale-invariant. The smallest question and the largest question both have the potential to be completely wrong for any inane reason. Often turns out that metrics the company has been using for months are totally bogus too in my experience, which is not a fun conversation to have.

So the life of an SQL analyst in their early days (it gets better as they learn to trust nothing) is either continuously pumping out garbage or constantly needing to go back and, very awkwardly, correct and redo work that people thought was finished (and those people were often happy with a bad result because it looked like something interesting was going on).

This article is highly misleading, approx. none of the time an analyst spends is working on writing 5 line queries. The analyst is the person who knows that the data table for the series A and B rounds has different semantics depending on the data round because someone screwed up the table design beyond recovery and therefore a plain COUNT(*) will give incorrect results. This tool would let people who don't understand that pump out garbage faster. That might be a win regardless, most analytics requests cannot possibly be value-add.

> The business owner will simply see an increase in revenue in most cases.

It's fundamentally a form of price discrimination. They can get more money from people who want to spend more, so they can lower their prices in order to capture more customers who want to spend less.

> I'd much rather hold the business owner to the expectation that they have a viable business strategy and pay their workers an appropriate amount

I don't know how you can hold the business owner to that, whether or not they collect non-service-related tips (aside from passing minimum wage laws). That's between the business owner and their employees, who also don't expect me to tip.

Stallman is an odd character. He's deeply passionate about the FOSS movement, and its success means more to him than anything except his jargon choices. He'd rather see the whole thing burn than change the words he demands it be described with.

Walmart third-party is a dumpster fire. Every single thing I ordered through it here in Canada arrived late or not at all, replacement orders sometimes arrived eventually, products were often damaged (a jug of glasses cleaner was leaking right through a soaked outer shipping box), vendors take zero responsibility, and it took multiple calls/emails/delays to get refunds from Walmart.

I avoid it like the plague. I don't even use their website because it's hard to consistently filter that crap out. And their site wasn't great to start off with in any case. Good riddens.
In games obscurity isn't really a thing. They are prime targets for memory scanning and getting extremely accurate results.

Here's how to build a simple "bot" for any game in about 30 seconds.

Step 1, Scan memory for Hp using a tool like cheat engine.
Step 2. Since you know simple C programming, you know HP is kept in a structure, most likely the player structure. Look at surrounding memory and you'll have something like this.

struct LocalPlayer
{
INT32 CurHP;
INT32 MaxHp;
INT32 CurMana;
INT32 MaxMana;
Position Pos;
}

Step 3. Now you have a basic structure, how do you find what uses it? Well, you know what a getter setter is from your CS 101 class. So you set a HW breakpoint on Read for the hp, and a HW Breakpoint on Write for the hp. Now you have GetHp(); And SetHp();

Step 4. You also remember how linkers work from your Compilers class, so knowing this, just like the structure has similar variables in memory, the binary will also have similar functions next to eachother(Or you can use class/variable passing from your struct.). So Right below GetHp, is 99 % of the time going to be GetMana.

Step 5. Now you have your structures, and know what functions use it, so find the global variable or scrape how these functions get the address to update.

Step 6. Repeat for other players using exact same steps, congrats, you now have all you need for a wallhack, bot, or whatever you want.

So as we can see, no code is needed, no big brain hacks are needed. A cs 101 student can do this(And alot do, this is why cheats are filled with skids). And it's all done through super simple dynamic analysis. Games are different, since in a regular application, you won't be able to memory scan as easily.

Clothing manufacturers, however, make this really annoying when they don't have to.

Clothing sizes don't mean anything. Consequently, you can order your "size" and still find things are completely out to lunch.

If you could get a real "specification" on clothing, then I would have far less of an issue with companies cracking down on returns.

Amazon, however, comes in for special approbation as I simply can't trust that whatever I'm receiving has any resemblance to what I expected from what I ordered.

Hmn. Good point. I feel a more important impedance mismatch is one of transactions/concurrency.

If your model is ORM OOP such as:

user := LoadUser(db, uid)
user.SetName("Alice")
user.Save()

the impedance mismatch is really that the "user" you have in the memory in the backend actually isn't the real user. After doing SetName() it isn't committed to the database, other processes will still see the old name and so on.

I mean, just at the point you have loaded the user there is (I feel..) an impedance mismatch if you think about the "user" object as "the user", instead of simply "a query result of userInfo that may already be stale".

If you drop the ORM and just execute "update User set Name = @newName where Id = @uid and Name = @oldName" there is no impedance mismatch. Either you do the update or someone raced you and you did not. There is no stale data anywhere to worry about.

Perhaps OOP isn't the sole reason for the "fetch/modify/save" programming style, but I think the OOP way of thinking of the world quickly lead to that kind of solution approach.

A database supports "query" and "apply a transaction to move from one version of the data to the next version".

OOP-focused use of ORM thinks more about "loading" and "saving". That is where the impedance mismatch is I feel.

OOP => there is such things as "objects" => objects must be "loaded" and "saved" => mismatch.

If one doesn't need to fetch/modify/save, but instead things in terms of queries and transactions, then you also don't need to care about "nested structure" nearly as often. I don't use ORMs and it just doesn't come up that much -- why would I load the nested structures to the backend?..

Although I agree with what you say that there is a fundamental mismatch between the efficient way to store nested structures in backend vs DB.

> Write a treatise on corporate espionage in the style of James Mickens

Listen closely, my friends, for I am about to take you on a journey through the dark and shadowy world of corporate espionage. This is the realm of the true business warriors, where the stakes are high and the competition is fierce.

First, let us consider the tools of the trade. The corporate spy is like a ninja, with their encrypted laptops as their swords and their fake identities as their smoke bombs. And just like a ninja, the spy must always be one step ahead of their enemies, for a single slip-up could mean the difference between a successful mission and a lifetime behind bars.

But the tools are just the tip of the iceberg. The true test of a spy's mettle is in their ability to infiltrate the enemy's stronghold and extract their secrets. This is the art of deception, and it is not for the faint of heart. The spy must be able to charm their way past security, outsmart their rivals, and evade detection at all costs.

But the spy's quest is not without its rewards. For those who are brave enough to face the dangers of the corporate battlefield, there are riches beyond measure. The corporate spy is the modern-day Robin Hood, stealing from the rich corporations and giving to their own. And just as Robin Hood sought to overthrow the corrupt rulers, the corporate spy is on a quest to level the playing field for their company.

So let us raise our glasses to the brave spies who venture forth into the unknown, for they are the true heroes of the corporate world. May their laptops always be encrypted, and may their cover identities never be exposed.

Note: the above passage is written in an overly-exaggerated style, the author is not James Mickens and is not meant to be taken as an actual treatise. The intent is to entertain with a humorous style. Corporate espionage is illegal, unethical and can have severe consequences
I'll second that, kebab-case is easy to type, has nice readability, and fits well with regular English constructions like case-sensitive, human-sized, looking-glass, and so on.
They do, and get far better, but are far more expensive, like another order of magnitude. This is already a 5K scanner!

Also not much advantage to line scans when you can get 150MP backs now for copy work.

WRT what else you wrote: Extractive capitalism is one of the reasons for the purchasing power differentials (as well as what's available to purchase) around the world. People can be angry at this sort of thing while still trying to build an adequate lifestyle. And monetary compensation doesn't cover everything, even in a hypercapitalist society.

I've noticed that the most famous people who started out poor tend to be famous for becoming rich. Not all of them, but most of them. Whereas those who were born relatively wealthy tend to become famous for a lot of things.
True, but many people look back and say “back in the day people could do X” and cherry pick.

What they ignore is how long people lived at home for, how many people jumped immediately into marriage. This whole business of everyone having their own place is not sustainable, despite what we see in TV.
Usually I'd agree completely, but in this case I'm not sure I mind. Happy to be wrong, but as I see it there's three things of value in ADSBx. The brand/reputation, the server/feeder software and the amount of real time data provided by the community. Without the latter the brand becomes worthless, and the software in the middle is predominantly open source software.

£20M for the name in the knowledge that the software isn't secret, the infrastructure isn't that complicated and that the community will rebrand and be back up with a couple of months of disruption (ala freenode->liberachat) seems like guilt free retirement money in the bank. You could even make an anonymous donation to whoever takes the place.

The value comes from the current data, and the data is reliant on the community which is something you can't purchase. Most people liked ADSBx because it supported MLAT and was happy to report aircraft that from that data that usually wouldn't show on pf, fr24 and most others. If that functionality is removed then the community would likely die away naturally anyway.

Agreed that naming isn't the only problem. It's a complex environment of different understandings and goals, including adversarial dynamics (and sometimes very underhanded behavior, including EEE).

I think the foot-dragging by some on the name, after it's been pointed out to them, is kinda symptomatic of their difficulty operating in this environment. And they often end up discrediting action that could be viable, but needs to win buy-in from others.

Software freedom didn't really disappear from public discourse, it never appeared in the first place, unless you count amongst a bunch of nerds nobody in the real world cares about or listens to. It may sound harsh, but that's reality.

Open source appeared in the public discourse because it had tangible benefits and people could understand what it meant.

I don't think open source killed the concept of software freedom, I think the concept of software freedom as a concept literally never caught on to begin with.

Honestly, I'm a bit tired of the Stallman worship at this point. A lot of people were pessimistic about the future of software and the internet, and they're not all prophets. He observed what was happening when other people chose to naively ignore it and hope for the best, and that's not nothing, but frankly, if he was so smart, then you'd think he'd have a solution. Nonetheless, it seems like everything Stallman actually proposes is impractical and out-of-touch with the current state-of-affairs, which makes me wonder what we're supposed to do other than marvel at the fact that someone was able to reason that this would become an issue some day.

I have produced a weekly podcast about amateur radio since 2011. It was hosted on S3 since I started because it became immediately clear that any other option would put my content under the control of someone who did not have my best interest at heart.

Today it's mirrored across dozens of aggregators, converted to eBooks, converted to Morse Code, uploaded to YouTube, posted on social media, emailed to listeners and included in magazine articles and news broadcasts across the globe. All the content is still under my direct control.

As for making money, not so much. I'd have to check my accounts for an exact number, but $500 over that time is about right.

It highlights to me that someone is making money from podcasting, but that someone is not me and I doubt it's any different for the vast majority of podcast producers.

I think as a society we need to figure out how content creators can be remunerated for their efforts and not perpetuate the current model where "facilitators" in all their varied guises make all the money.

Exactly. An average developer thinks "it's just some large number". A business user needs to read the number and make sense of it. And yes, showing 133,854,113,715,608 doesn't make much more sense (though at least I can compare the numbers between them). In this case you would express it in billions and mention you did it (doesn't matter that the underlying calculation is wrong, that's not even the point, none of the other numbers in the page are formatted in a readable way).
TOTP slows down brute-forcing a service through normal access patterns (eg login, password reset). By normal access, I mean as provided by the software/vendor. One would hope said service has rate limiting and other mitigations to prevent bad actors brute forcing this way, of course.

However it is a second defense enforced by process/code alone (which can be turned off if you have access to the source). It doesn't effect the way your password is stored on the server, in the event of a leak or hack TOTP provides no brute force benefit.

> Any new development that doesn't give back to the resources it takes, yes.

I learned recently about private land conservation: The idea is that you take a piece of undeveloped land you own, and mark is as a conservation area. This prevents development in perpetuity - the status is tied to the land even if you sell it. Enforcement is decently strong - there are lots of nonprofits that actively monitor these lands and report nonviolators.

I don't have the source of the statistic, but one place I read that annually about 2.2 million acres are developed, and 2 million acres are conserved, so it is close to parity.

(Owner gets tax benefits for doing this, but typically they'd earn more if they allow development).
These countries don't. But, in competitive industrial chemical processing, the totalitarian principle applies: to quote Sir Ronald, “everything not forbidden is compulsory”.
