This example has already been countered multiple times. You can not copyright a solid blue painting, you can only copyright an 'installation' of such. People in these discussions act as if copyright only came into being and hasn't been legislated/litigated for quite a while now. But then, these people can't even be bothered to look at copyright requirements that there be at the least an 'anonymous artist' that created the work to be copyrighted (and hint, a prompt writer does not count as such, anymore than a machinist inputting CAD requirements suddenly owns copyright to each factory part their machine spits out).
> if it was AI-assisted lawyer

If it was AI-assisted lawyer, it would be a whole different discussion. Aside from requiring a live feed of interactions to a remote system and other technical details, “lawyers using supportive tools while exercising their own judgement on behalf of their client” isn’t controversial the way marketing an automated system as, or as a substitute for, legal counsel and representation is.

Javascript indeed sucks, but Typescript whips

To call Javascript "poorly designed" when having a discussion about PHP is… a bit jarring… Both PHP 7/8 and Typescript are huge improvements over their forbearers, but it seems indisputable to me that fundamental Javascript is at least a better-designed language than fundamental PHP (circa v3), and contemporary Typescript is better-designed than modern PHP.

(creds: I've been writing PHP and Javascript since around 1997)
What makes "commercially significant non-infringing use" such a great doctrine is that it lets there be some objective measurement of how generally useful a given practice is towards the benefit of the public good. The doctrine does this by establishing that the tool can be used for a myriad of ways that in no way directly compete with the original work in the marketplace. For example, when Stable Diffusion is being used for inpainting to remove a stranger from the background of a wedding photograph it is clear that Sarah Anderson is not being impacted in any way shape or form despite the fact that her works were temporarily copied as part of the data ingestion process.

This doctrine gives the lower courts a clear test that doesn't require diving deep into arguments about what it means for "computers to learn ideas" or for "language models to author".

The problem with an opt-in model is that it puts enough of a burden on a language model that it discourages non-infringing commercial creation. The opt-out-on-request model, which would need some form of legislation and probably informed by both the DMCA and right-to-be-forgotten in Euro area, would be preferable as it would have much less of a burden on model creators.

Some assumptions: you are American and you were able to quit lettuce farm job and able to look back at those times with fondness. These farm laborers will never post on HN.

$9/hour without healthcare or benefits is not ‘lucrative’ unless we are speaking of migrant labour crews who are undocumented. Those who defend the use of undocumented labourers in Ag are simply enabling slave labour.

Unless we take a firm stand against undocumented labour, we will never have a true picture of our economy and cost of living the American life.

Considering American farms rely on undocumented labour only because it’s cheap and exploitative, we will never find Americans wanting to do these jobs. Automation is the only way out. And realistic output of Ag.

[..]“Some of you should see where these folks are living, the conditions they’re in. Living in shipping containers, making $9 an hour,” he said. “No health care, no support services.”[..]

[..]“The conditions farmworkers shared with the governor — being paid $9 an hour and living in shipping containers — are simply deplorable,” Villaseñor wrote. “Our country relies on their back-breaking work, yet Congress cannot even provide them the stability of raising their families and working in this country without fear of deportation, which contributes to their vulnerability in the workplace. That is no way to live.”[..]
Seems like the solution is clear then. If the judge gently corrects defense counsel and guides them towards competence, they can just do the same with AI. Then the company can use that data to improve it! Eventually it will be perfect with all the free labor from those judges.

>Judge: that case does not exist. Ask it about this case instead

>AI: I apologize for the mistake, that case is more applicable. blah blah blah. Hallucinates an incorrect conclusion and cites another hallucinated case to support it.

Judge: The actual conclusion to the case was this, and that other case also does not exist.

Isn't that the same thing? Seems fine to me, I know the legal system is already pretty overwhelmed but eventually it might get so good everyone could be adequately represented by a public defender.

Speaking of, I remember reading most poor people can only see the free lawyer they've been assigned for a couple minutes and they barely review the case? I don't understand how that is okay, as long as technically they're competent even if the lack of time makes them pretty ineffective...
Post to email: supporting contact forms for static websites
> this appears to be a concept held by the incel community

Not exclusively. I would bet that many more people who are completely clueless about incelosphere hold that belief. After all, the belief is as old as the advent of mass communication.

> Are you positioning it as true

Yes, I already said that much; also I will consider it true until a preponderance of evidence comes along that blows the pile of current evidence away.

> a solvable problem

That phrase can be interpreted in two ways.

1. Can a person fake being white? I would say, if the goal is a convincing result, then it's difficult for most people because it would involve cosmetic surgery (expensive, non-negligible risk), and ISTR that the skin treatment to make it appear light in colour comes with nasty side effects that cannot be avoided. For a smaller group, suitable contact lenses might be sufficient. Broadly spoken, the trade-off cost/risk/reward seems bad, that's why we don't see much adoption of the practice, but I gauge that solely from canvassing in popular media. I would be very interested in what the sociologists are writing in their scientific journals.

2. Can society be changed to eliminate the JBW bonus? I don't see how, but since it is an entirely social construct, I admit that under the right circumstances, it could happen quickly. Also, as a white myself, I don't have a particular interest to make it happen.
Wow, now curl is doing pretty well in the rankings!
The “mainstream public” on the internet in the early 2000s, at the height of blogging, was quite different from today’s internet mainstream, mainly thanks to smartphones. Aside from “microblogging” in the form of twitter threads, and other alternative formats like YouTube, the broadening of the internet mainstream over the past 10 years is probably the more significant change.

> Even if we convert the grid to 100% renewables and get rid of fossil fuels, we will still need to mine for battery materials.

But we'll no longer need to extract and burn fossil fuels, which is where the vast majority of the environmental benefit comes from. You can't say "Aside from the main overwhelming benefit, it doesn't look so good"!

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

I don't think anybody assumes all artists will be fine with it. But being disgruntled doesn't automatically mean you should be the one who makes the decisions. Virtually every human has a stake in this because nearly everybody consumes some art. It's time we put stronger emphasis on the rights of everybody else, instead of just mostly people who bought copyright, and artists those people think have the right to exploit.

> "Tools like Stable Diffusion aren't infringing because xyz technical reasons"

I don't think I'm saying there's some technical reasons those tools aren't infringing. Just overwhelming moral, practical and economical reasons that they should be allowed to operate and treated just like human artists who too can mimic and mix styles and nobody can deny them authorship unless they copy specific complex elements nearly verbatim.

Btw if human artist think AI got to close to one of his works he can prove it
beyond all doubt by registering their creations on some blockchain with his key and timestamp and I wouldn't be against banning this specific AI artwork that got too close.

Banning use of all published art as teaching material by default is not the way to go in my opinion.
Banning imitating specific style is bad too.
Imagine portrait painters banned photography from using classical portrait compositions to protect their jobs. Or denied photographers even looking at portraits so they can never learn to imitate.

> 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.

Maybe, but AI is the wonderful opportunity to discuss the spirit of horrible rules we currently have. Best opportunity we had since creation of social networking sites that chipped those rules away a bit.
Yea, it sounds like an issue with process and automation. It shouldn't have been possible for the staffer to make a mistake that would cause this.
Hmm, probably the level of back story they went into when training us as extras that didn't make its way to the screen somehow.

The bulk of the work I did was the night shoots at Helms Deep (actually a quarry just north of Wellington). This is where the elves + Rohan fight the Uruk Hai. When we did a bit of stunt training so we could do the background fighting, they kept telling us how powerful the elves were. How they'd had 1000's of years to practice fighting. You see this a bit with Legolas and the way he slides down the stairs on the shield but the rest of the elves are just fodder.

One small anecdote about this, if you go back to the very first media that they started releasing before the movies came out, this video: https://youtu.be/2UDTbQrOGa0?t=63

At the ~1:03 mark you can see two very quick shots, one is Legolas spinning the daggers around at Helms Deep, this made it into the movie (he also screwed this shot up about 8 times, I know this because I was in full costume as an Uruk Hai behind him fighting off a panic attack from overheating by swinging the sword around so much) and the next shot is a bunch of elves running into the spears of Uruk Hai.

When we did this shot, it took about a night of work, the original intention was that the elves would run into the ranks of Uruk Hai and just vanish. The Uruk's would be looking around themselves confused then the elves would one by one be popping up and killing the Uruk's.

Typing it out, it does seems kind of stupid but it did illustrate the original thinking they had with the elves martial abilities.

Which mistake? That there are conflicting descriptions of woman's POVs here?

We probably should improve descriptions, so we wouldn't rely on ones somewhere and then rely on the opposites elsewhere.
> but public-domain dedication is not a thing in many countries, which is why CC-0 exists.

Has there ever been a real instance of this distinction actually mattering? Has a German software company ever gotten into real trouble because they used American public domain code without a locally valid license?

It seems like an academic objection for lawyers to wring their hands about. Risk adverse organizations with investors will demand licenses for software like SQLite because a few thousand dollars to eliminate a minuscule remote risk is basically nothing to a software business. But does your average German FOSS hacker bother to buy a license to SQLite? Would that really be a rational use of their own money? I doubt it.
> Because there is a potential underlying motive

But that underlying motive could be mutual, it could not, the key is consensuality, at any point one party isn't on the same page they can and should say no, this applies to same-sex and opposite-sex configurations, no?

That's also true of same-sex configurations, though.

In Asia (very vaguely speaking…) it's comparatively more common to meet people exclusively outside the home whether you're friends, dates, or even early into a committed relationship. It's entirely possible you'll never see inside someone's house, though "home dates"/"home parties" are a thing.

That's probably an effect of small apartments and lots of restaurants.

Again you run face first into the brick wall of questionable assumptions and get a bloody nose.

What's happiness? How do we measure it? How long does this feeling last? Was it measured again 10 and 20 and 30 years later? And what was the "control measure"? People who did not go through any program at all? Was it simply the opportunity to think through their life issues rather than the "CBT" itself the main driver to improve their mood? Did the study attempt to identify different causal factors? Did the participants actually make substantive changes to their lives or did they simply start to "feel better"? Did different people with different backgrounds respond differently to different kinds of treatment? (rhetorical question obviously).

Are you now starting to get a taste of the absurdity of psychology and psychiatry? Sure getting people into a room to simply start talking and thinking about their lives is a good thing. It probably helps, in different ways for different people. But again, this is not science, just common sense.

The attempt to "sciencify" and pathologize lived human experience is like a kind of mental corruption by the scientific establishment that refuses to believe anything is beyond it's scope. But again, just because you run what looks like a "scientific study" and write a fancy "scientific paper" does not validate the corrupt and invalid assumptions and beliefs it is attempting to demostrate.

It's a bit like the cognitive failure that led to "software engineering". Engineering was created to formalize the manipulation of the physical world. Applying it to information synthesis was always wrong, yet people did it anyway, and it led to spectacular failure. We now have agile development as a result. Maybe the same thing needs to happen to psych "sciences".
"sent" also implies a "sender," which implies intent to send.
Check out also Unpoly. It’s probably the most “batteries included” of this kind of tools, although not as popular.
It's really bizarre to me how fixated people are on viewing depression solely through the "disease with a biological cause" lens. Even in this article, which acknowledges the serious flaws in the serotonin hypothesis, all the alternatives they explore are around other biological things like other neurotransmitters, inflammation, etc.

Maybe more people are anxious and depressed than in the past because modern life really sucks for a lot of people. I'm not saying that's a simple thing to fix, and certainly there is a biological component for some people...but the idea that societal changes are increasing rates of anxiety and depression seems way more plausible than there being some sudden and mysterious shift in the biology of a significant percentage of the population that needs correcting via medication.
Yep, because we have very negative associations with criticism. In addition to being bullied, we tended to move a lot when I was a kid. So it became easy to just leave and start over somewhere else - I think I even started to look forward to being able to start over. I remember as a kid playing with other kids and after a bit just disappearing and hearing them in the distance say "hey, where did he go?" - I'd often do this. Much later I came to realize that this was some kind of avoidance and that it wasn't the norm. I think that I expected even amicable play situations to eventually lead to being bullied and I think that's why I'd just ghost people.

How do you mean?

If the new project without any tests with a PHP 7.2 and MySQL installation and I need to upgrade it to PHP 8.2, I first need to write tests and I can't use PHP 8.2 features until I've upgraded.

Composer is the dependency manager, but I still need PHP to run the app later on. And a PHP 7.2 project might behave differently when running on PHP 7.2 or PHP 8.2. And sometimes PHP is just one part of the equation. There might be an Angular frontend and a nginx / php-fpm backend, maybe Redis, Postgres, logging, etc. They need to be wired together as well. And I'm into backend web development and do a bit of frontend development, but whoa, I get confused with all the node.js, npm, yarn versioning with corepack and nvm and whatnot. Here even a "yarn install" behaves differently depending on which yarn version I have. I'd rather have docker take care of that one for me.

I feel like "docker (compose)" and "make" are widely available and language-agnostic enough and great for my use cases (small to medium sized web apps), especially since I develop on Linux.

Something language-specific like pyenv might work as well, but might be too lightweight for wiring other tools. I used to work a lot with Vagrant, but that seems to more on the "heavy" side.

Edit: I just saw your examples, unfortunately I've only dabbled a bit with Go and haven't worked with Rust yet, so I can't comment on that, but would be interested to know, how they work re: local dev setup.

Yes, I have tried ChatGPT, and it told me dogs do not give birth to babies. However, ChatGPT doesn't provide deterministic answers and improves responses over time. Many of the internet examples no longer work.

I asked, "If a woman gives birth to a baby in 9 months, how many months does a dog take to give birth to a baby."

It answered, "Dogs do not give birth to babies."

Currently, it answers, "On average, a dog's gestation period (the amount of time it takes for a dog to give birth to puppies) is approximately nine weeks or 63 days."

It still doesn't understand pregnancy is a concurrent event (women can be pregnant at the same time)

Q: If a woman takes nine months to give birth to a baby, how long does it take a billion women to give birth to one baby?

A: It would take approximately 2.7 million years for a billion women to give birth to one baby.

I do love ChatGPT to help me write certain documents. For example, for a performance review, you can give it bullet points and ask to write a review. After correcting it with Grammarly, it is usually better than what I would have written.
The leading double underscore functions differently from a leading single underscore in this case:

> Any identifier of the form __spam (at least two leading underscores, at most one trailing underscore) is textually replaced with _classname__spam, where classname is the current class name with leading underscore(s) stripped.

I don't really understand the argument about danger mouses grey album being different from just a random "mash up" because the artistic merit behind the grey album. Sure the grey album is likely much more pleasant to listen to and would likely be considered worthy of copyright itself, where a random mash might not be. That doesn't change the fact that danger mouse had to ask permission to use Jay Zs and the Beatles work (and likely had to pay), or otherwise would have violated copyright. So how is that argument relevant. Nobody is arguing that composing images via stable diffusion prompts (like making some collage) is not a creative process. The argument is does one have to have permission/licence of the original creators.
>The best thing about Django is that almost every problem you face has been answered by the community.

This is something I realized pretty quickly when toying with migrating my side project from Flask to Django last year. Everything I wanted to know how to do, I could google with “Django” as the first term, and figure out how to accomplish. Anything that took longer than 2 mins to figure out how to do was generally a matter of not knowing how to phrase the question.

It’s made me a huge Django advocate.
