It sounds almost like a rehashing of Locke's labor theory of property wrt ownership of land that's very popular with classical liberals and libertarians. As that goes, land is initially nobody's, but when some person applies labor to improve or develop it somehow, that labor being "mixed in" makes the whole thing the property of the laborer.

Here, instead of common land, what we have is the common content. And they're saying that, by "developing" that content into a model that can do more useful things, the authors of the model are entitled to full private property rights on it.

I really hope that's not where we're going to end up, legally speaking.

> You don't need to check every cite; that will have been done for you by the lawyers and judges involved in that case.

Why would this be different with an AI assistant to help you? It's not a binary "do or do not". Just because you have an assistant doesn't mean you don't do anything. Kind of like driver assist can handle some of the load vs full self-driving.

> But checking every cite in an AI's output: many of those citations won't exist, and for the ones that do, you'll need to closely read all of them to confirm that they say what the AI claims they say, or are even within the ballpark of what the AI claims they say.

But you'd have to do this anyway if you did all the research yourself. At least the AI assistant can help give you some good leads so you don't have to start from scratch. A lazy lawyer could skip some verifying, but a good lawyer would still benefit from an AI assistant as was my original bet, just like they would benefit from interns or paralegals, etc. And all those interns and paralegals could still be there, helping verify facts.
I journal my computer and startup ideas in the open since 2013.

My first batch of ideas hit the front page on HN

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas

Since then I wrote 3 more editions

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas2
https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas3
https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4

These all flopped since I triggered the self promotion filter

I had a try at thinking of business ideas

Well, they are a tenent at the Cermak data center. It’s a truly massive building with huge amounts of connectivity and colo opportunities. Probably also the only 100+ year old data center building on the US register of historic places, lol (it’s a former catalog printing facility, built to hold insanely heavy printing presses on 8 or 9 really tall floors, so it has no problems with densely-packed server racks)

Correct. Stripe gave out stock options until around 2016 or 2017, then switched to double-trigger RSUs.
It's worth nothing though, that that likely wasn't much of a consideration at all at the time. Networks for one were barely a thing, at least on systems so tiny that they'd use an 8086. And even when they were, they tended to be extremely trusting until way into the 90s.

Really surprised no one here has made the connection between depression and the fight-flight-freeze response. Depression is just the freeze response, just like we see in our animal relatives. Only difference is we can be triggered by thoughts and not only the presence of danger. Freezing is when you are so powerless, you cannot fight and you cannot fly away. You freeze. That response can be reinforced, and sadly, reinforced by thought alone.
So when you view a histogram of an image, you can break it into thirds. The middle third represents the midtones. Shadows are generally depicted to the left on the histogram, highlights to the right.

In visuals, midtones are most often associated with the boundaries of shadows and highlights. If you have clearly defined shadows, midtones are what's around their edges. But they also represent a lot of the image that's neither especially dark nor light — like many skin tones.

So what Midtone Detail does is adjust the contrast in areas with lots of midtones — places where there are peaks in the midtone third of the histogram. It just so happens that wrinkles on faces are midtone goldmines, so tweaking Midtone Detail on an image of a face makes wrinkles more or less apparent.

If you crank the slider positive, you perceptibly "sharpen" midtone regions by increasing the contrast between shadow and highlight, which emphasizes both the depth of the wrinkle and the non-wrinkled skin. If you crank it negative, you "blur" midtone regions by reducing that contrast, effectively blurring the wrinkles (and pores, and facial hairs, and small blemishes, etc.) out.

On skin that reads as "erasing wrinkles", but it can also reduce fidelity of other skin textures. Sometimes that's desired, for that uncanny valley-esque "commercial-style" smoothness, but it might not be what a filmmaker necessarily wants — that's where masking out parts of the skin, or using the Beauty OFX tool, comes in.

(Midtone Detail has uses beyond faces and skin, especially for manipulating things like outdoor detail — landscape shots with shade have lots of midtones, and you might want to reduce them to emphasize a subject or increase them for a more dramatic visual. Or adjusting transitions when a camera goes from a shot where you want to emphasize midtones, like a close-up, to a shot where you don't, like an outdoor shot.)
Haha yeah absolutely don't use something with unpadded straps!

Indeed, but, we all know that in those circles nobody cares about Scientologists' feelings getting hurt.

There's a well-established hierarchy of sacred victim groups that have to be protected from "harm" (for an arbitrary and nebulous definition of the word) at all costs, and whose defense is one of the most pious expressions of in-group belonging.

Scientologists, Christians, members of political groups on the other side of the spectrum, and many others are not recipients of such benefits. Any form of affiliation with them, including consuming their respective literature, would likely get you excommunicated unless you do sufficient public penance once caught.

Not really, the 'Girl Next Door' and 'Gamer Girl' have been sexualized so I'm just slotted into that category. Most of it is a function of what you look like and unfortunately for me my appearance just screams feminine and I tick a lot of physical boxes that are attractive to men.

My understanding is once you're like...55 or 60 you can start complimenting men under 40. Then men put you into 'nice grandma' instead of 'she wants to nail me'.

I mean I'm literally building an AWS lambda function that outputs HTML when it's called via API Gateway. So someone hits https://mydomain.com/mycoolpage, then the MyCoolPage AWS Lambda function is executed, does database queries or reaches out to other lambda functions I've built as microservices and then outputs <html>whatever</html>.

If you're interested, I use https://middy.js.org/ as a middleware engine for my AWS lambda functions which I find helpful.

I use the open sourced serverless framework for doing deploys https://www.serverless.com/ though I'm probably going to move to using AWS SAM in the future.

Is this really worth article? Czech online shops publish reliability of products for years.

2nd biggest shows reliability, for instance iphone 12 has 99%

https://www.czc.cz/apple-iphone-12-128gb-green/301129/produk...

the biggest shop does inverse how many (1%) used warranty

https://m.alza.cz/iphone-12-64gb-cerna-d6216436.htm

this is worth checking before buying something because 97% reliability is for instance extremely bad compared to 99%, you are 3 times more likely to get faulty piece

there is also monopolistic price comparison website heureka.cz where you can check price history years back, compare all shops and set price tracking with notification covering pretty much all online shops

My parents' generation learned Latin and French instead of English, and there's an argument to be made that you also can't really understand a lot of the world without at least some passing familiarity with both of these languages. In the GDR, people used to learn Russian, for obvious reasons, and that's not so long ago - many of these people are still in the workforce.
I believe pg felt that people shouldn't have access to that information. The idea being, I think, that people should decide entirely independently, based on the merits of the comment judged in isolation, whether to upvote or not. As opposed to, say, a situation where a bunch of people upvote a comment for no other reason than "a bunch of other people already upvoted it."

Not saying I agree or disagree with that one way or the other, and my memory of all of this could be a bit off by now. But that's approximately the way I remember the discussion going years ago.

> If AI people were forcing artist to create new art and paying them with the promise of exposure in their generated works I'll be completely on your side. However it requires zero work from artist to have their already published work to be used as learning material.

This seems like an odd way to frame this. The reality is closer to "artists were never included in the conversation to begin with". Arguing that "no one forced them to create anything new" seems irrelevant when you consider that without the content, none of this exists to begin with.

The problem is the assumption that artists are or should be universally fine with this.

> World without copyright and zero publishing cost is the one where authors and consumers are in control and negotiate through attention economy. World of copyright is the world where copyright hoarding dragon starve both artists and consumers.

If you want to argue against copyright, that's fine, and I have plenty of issues with the current iteration of this framework of rules. But that is not the same argument as "Tools like Stable Diffusion aren't infringing because xyz technical reasons".

I think it'd be helpful to be clearer about arguments for/against the spirit of the rules themselves vs. arguments about why generative AI tools do or do not create content that infringes those rules as currently designed or require an entirely new framework of thinking about the problem.

They are important but distinct problems.
It's sad that we so often have to rely on billionaire's pet projects for work like this. An example being Elon's Neuralink, which from an investment perspective looks like an awful return, but does have insanely high upside if successful.
How would that not lead to the inevitable concentration of economic activity in a few trusted platforms?

Today, I can shop at pretty much any merchant on the web, under the reasonable expectation that my bank will file a dispute for me if the merchant makes a run for it and I never receive any goods or services. Even in case of merchant bankruptcy, I'm not exposed to any risk.

In a world of non-reversible payments, I'd probably stick to Amazon exclusively. That seems pretty bad for small/new/independent merchants.
Once I accepted that JS might not be the worst language in existence I slowly got to the point where now JS is my go-to language for most things. Specifically with TypeScript, I feel like I have the best of both worlds. I have a typed scripting language that works for the frontend and backend, and things just flow so nicely.

The data frame is a Python dict and I consider that a feature so that users know how to e.g. loop through columns with .items() etc. That then means that bracket notation is reserved for column names only (i.e. dict keys). So, that's why a separate function is needed.

I moved from Swift to TypeScript last year. Best decision ever, TypeScript is super productive if you treat it just as a fancy linter, and it gives me access to a vast ecosystem that runs everywhere. Obviously then, Node is the choice for the backend.

To be honest, I find it hard to justify using anything BUT TypeScript these days.
I'm the creator of this tool. I like to use my local text editor (Sublime Text) to work on code, but I need to run that code on a remote VPS. Running scp every time I save gets old fast, so I needed a better way. I made unisync, a continuous syncing command line program for developers. You install it locally and on your VPS or remote server, create a 4-line config file (locally), and run it. It'll connect to remote over ssh and sync changes it both directions for as long as it's running. It will "catch up" if you shut it down and later run it again.

It was inspired by a similar program called unison, which is powerful but is starting to show its age.

I agree with the comments about your website being unclear. Like you should swap the two first paragraphs text round (not the styles). The bold cookie-cutter is just a clever slogan. It’s the paragraph below that says what you are offering. Also seeing a picture of the code high up is at odds with your product (people might think they’d rather code it than use your tool)

I think you have a great solution to a problem. I made something like this for a conversational design tool to empower copywriters to create an guide different user types through an online process. It allowed them to quicker iterate and test. What you are offering sounds like to will better enable reconfiguring something live via the feedback from analytics. As in, build once, reconfigured and a/b test easily.

Not sure if you have seen Playmaker for Unity. It’s a wonderful tool for both programmers and non-coders. I find programmers think they are better than the Playmaker when introduced to it, but if they actually use it they become much more powerful.
It's more pragmatic than that. Google can afford to run a 300M weights model on every search or click, but can't afford a 175B generative model for the same thing. Generative models require a forward pass per token, all done serially, while embedding or classification models only need one pass no matter the length of the input.

It's too expensive for Google.

>Lawyers cost money a lot of money. AI lawyers can help lower those barriers to entry.

For traffic court, perhaps, but these AI tools don’t seem guaranteed to not make this problem worse at broader scales.

These AIs will also be available to large firms, who are equally incentivized to use AI for augmenting argumentation through existing lawyers, but will also be incentivized to train their own walled garden powerful models in a way that poorer clients still would likely not have access to, and which individuals and smaller firms will not have the resources to train themselves.

These kinds of AI models could very easily serve to entrench and raise the cost of a defense by making it so you not only need a lawyer, you need a lawyer-backed-by-a-firm-with-a-LLM to be competitive at trial - making all existing problems even worse.

Fly.io works great. .NET will generate the Dockerfile for you already so it's pretty easy to set it up. Fly.io will even give you a hosted PostgreSQL.

DigitalOcean's App Platform should also handle .NET apps as easily as anything else.

.NET makes it easy to get your app all set for Docker and there's a lot of platforms that will take Docker containers or even build them from your repository.

I guess I'm wondering what managed services for other languages feel more managed/easy than Fly.io or DO's App Platform taking your repository, building it, and launching it.

Machines can't create copyrighted works.

Setting aside the question of "is the model a derivative work", running the program cannot create a work that is copyrighted. Only humans (and not monkeys) can hold a copyright.

And thus, the questions are: "is generating a model based on the data set a derivate work" and the unasked question "is asking the model to generate a work in the style of {artist} a derivative work by the person asking the model?"
