To counterpoint your anecdote: I know a girl who is fit, eats great, gets good sleep, regularly goes on long trips with friends, still clinically depressed and struggles to experience any sort of joy which is why she puts in so much effort into trying to improve her life. Still got depression, baybee.
Kind of a facetious question, but does adding an emphasized 'bro' at the end of the sentence change the meaning and their response?

Like, if you said 'I like your shirt bro', and you put just a little bit of tude to the bro - would that decrease the risk of unintended signals?
Nice syntax, but I like the caching that comes with creating each layer.

If you want to reduce layer/image size, then I think [1] "multi-stage builds" is a good option

I disagreed with you until: "...like calling Fort Knox just like any other bank vault."

Interesting point that teeters on false equivalence. I think AWS or Azure might make for a better analogy. Your point identifies the inherent risk of actually operating a platform business. A bank vault is (mostly) synonymous with Cloud, in this context. If a vault is robbed or a cloud goes offline, losses extend beyond the business which inherently compounds the severity of downtime.

Linear loss vs. parabolic loss.
Would be useful if each poster also included their years of experience in the industry ;)

The sketchy and indirect way they engage with this criticism put me off of ever trusting DDG.
Noted. but responding to the “UK” comment; London is often a good guide/proxy for the UK tech scene.
But for reference: there are quite a few universities in the UK where students are learning & using Elixir for distributed/embedded computing projects so these people will gradually filter through into the workforce.

Also there are plenty of Ruby/Rails Devs who have embraced Elixir/Phoenix.

But it’s a classic network effect problem; adoption drives jobs which drives learning and further adoption. Without a big corporate sponsor like a FAANG co, Elixir/Phoenix doesn’t have the mindshare of other languages/platforms.
Sorry I wasn't clear. I mean two personas

- a) maybe I don't care about 99% reliability and I am attracted by the fact that it's free. But I have no control over when it will stop being free, so I don't implement it.

- b) I have money to pay but I need reliability.

They pull in different directions but both seem to pull away from a free alpha version. I would imagine if you could offer them as alternatives you might get both personas but with this model you kind of lose both?

Again, I am sure this is a hole in my understanding, not the model. Just curious as to where it is.
I know someone who was just told the range for a position is $100-130K. I happen to know that the actual salary range for that position is $100-160K. So why was he told 100-130? Company policy that they only hire in the bottom half of the range. So he was given the hiring range.

It's possible the company you mention has a similar policy, but posted the full range for the position, not the hiring range.

When required to post a range, there are pros/cons to both approaches. One tells you what you can expect for hiring. The other tells you what you can expect going forward. Probably companies that decide they want policies like this really ought to post both ranges, for full transparency. But some literal-minded HR drone who is told to post a range will probably just grab one or the other.
Is it not humans giving the AI prompts to do these things? Why does the machine in the middle matter?
“Then maybe the judge gets upset and gives them the harshest punishment or contempt of court”

That sounds like a horrible judge, maybe this AI can be used to sniff them out and get rid of them.

Why would anyone use ChatGPT for anything they like doing, its like sucking the last joy from life
It seems he s trying to say something that is technically correct, but exactly at the wrong time. It s going to be a lot of backlash if you go against the hype wave that we are riding. Better to explain in a more nuanced way how chatGPT managed to become so popular despite being an incremental improvement of fundamental findings of the past few years.

People love it because it understands language, every time and without fail. So what if it spits out lies, this thing makes people happy, which is the value at play here

On modern CPUs that actually can't run at full speed for thermal reasons, they're critically important (though a complicated dance with MWAIT and a ton of drivers has supplanted HLT on x86 devices).

On microprocessors of the time, they're indeed a little useless. None of the logic was going to disable the internal clock, this was decades before the introduction of gateable power wells, etc...

But on the bigger hardware where DMA was common, a halted CPU could be relied on not to be issuing needless requests to the memory bus and other clients like I/O devices (SMP was in its infancy in the 70's too) would have lower contention and higher throughput. I'm sure that was part of the thinking. The IBM PC itself tended not to contend on its bus much (CGA and MDA had their own framebuffers and floppy DMA was mostly a joke), but maybe there were other 8086 implementations that cared.
That coding challenge just isn't where we make leveling decisions. The difference between an L1 and an L3 at Fly.io is mostly not about how you write proxy code, but rather how you manage scope, how you think about what customers need, and how you design systems.

We didn't tell you you weren't good enough for a junior position. That's not what our actual email response was to you, and it's not what I said in my previous comment. The single exercise you did with us doesn't currently have a leveling component, so there's nothing I can tell you about what level you'd have wound up at had you passed it.

I understand that you're giving me permission to relate more about how we scored your submission, but, again, I'm unwilling to do that, for all the reasons I gave upthread.
Then it’s a variable.
> I'm not advocating for taking away any of the welfare state as a trade for implementing UBI, personally.

Interesting, since that is always it's main selling point. It's supposed to simplify the benefits programs since everyone just gets a check. Obviously that's naive, but it's the common refrain when discussing cost.

Please go ahead, that would be great. The output of this script: https://github.com/certik/slabikar-otf/blob/dce9fc9e575f7d6e... creates a single line SVG. The other scripts then feed it to Inkscape and read it back as outline, so you would skip this step. You can then use this script: https://github.com/certik/slabikar-otf/blob/dce9fc9e575f7d6e... to convert to glif and the rest of the pipeline to build the font. I think I implemented single line fonts in glif.py, but if not, it shouldn't be hard to implement. If you are interested in collaborating on this, please let me know, we can add it as another job at the CI to test this mode.

I think your issue is having to use a language/runtime you're not productive/happy in.
I switched from PHP to Node.js of my own choosing and loved TypeScript everywhere and a Java like runtime vs a state less execution model. I found the npm ecosysteem much richer and accessible than Packagist / Composer. However if I was forced to write in Python, I would have similar complaints.
There are broad patterns of agreement but individual differences also. The faces most people will find attractive can be identified, but you can't select a face everyone will find attractive.

From what I've read recently, the legal profession is the one most at risk of adverse financial effects from AI. Not the court appearances nor the specialized work. But the run-of-the-mill boilerplate legal writing that is the bread and butter profit center of most first. You bet they are threatened and will push back.

Now the question is this. If an AI is doing something illegal like practicing law, how does one sanction an AI?

Edit: found this:

https://jolt.richmond.edu/is-your-artificial-intelligence-gu...

"A person is presumed to be practicing law when engaging in any of the following conduct on behalf of another"

Every state seems to use the word "person" in their rules.

An AI is not a person, and therefore can't be sanctioned for practicing law - my take anyway.

If non-persons can be prosecuted for illegally practicing law, then those non-persons must have the right to get a license. IMHO.

> The number of times I've bought clothes for my children and have it not fit after paying for it so far has been 0.

Baby, or kids?

I have seen 18m outfits and 3t outfits from the same retailer that are almost the same size.

Baby clothes are annoying because you can't really try them on, so you may as well buy from a place that has easy returns.
These are all valid options but they result in a much smaller pool of potential matches. Colleges depending on the size have tens of thousands of potential matching opportunities. These are further enhanced by the social nature of college. Work while a smaller pool provides repeated exposure to people under a long time frame. Clubs and individual classes provide a very reduced pool of potential mates under a stricter timeline to establish a match. I am not arguing that what you are saying is wrong and indeed they are far superior than just sitting at home checking your tinder profile each day. They are just difficult and are more challenging with lower odds. Probably equal opportunity to just hit the gym for a few months, do what you can to work on your individual attractiveness and go to a bar a couple times a week. At least then there are better odds that the people there are looking for a match as well.
So much for "6 months worth of expenses"?
I indeed knew the scale, it's plastered all over this thread, but it's not relevant to the point being made.

The whole scheme is harebrained regardless of the amount, what depends on the amount is the harm it can cause, in the range <totally harmless, with perhaps some barely detectable rain acidity local increases ... Venus-like global catastrophe>.
Zuck probably just massaged him: Yann we should be cool as ChatGPT.

Monopolies in media make government censorship easier. They also make intentional government incitement to nationalist violence easier, but that's not the violence that people who think they're well-represented by the government worry about.

Oh, come on. He purports to be a finance wizard, not some startup bro. If S&C turned him over, that's because he was a sucker, not a wizard. Finance wizards don't go into Ch. 11 with their eyes closed.
That's fine. I think we've reached the part of the conversation where we're bound by not having large-scale descriptive statistics that can convince the other.

Either way, my experience is completely opposite. I can't recall a single woman I know who, that when meeting someone prescribing any of these points, would not use them as a proxy for their willingness to engage in a relationship and their subsequent happiness in such a relationship. Maybe we just live in separate bubbles, or maybe one of us does and one doesn't, or maybe they are geographic bubbles or context dependent in some other way that introduces nuance in a way that ends with "it depends." We probably won't know unless doing some sort of statistical survey.
Can have fun with this particularly if it’s a 20th century European history course assignment. If books cause harm, then pretty much any religious text will be (very) offensive to another as it’s heretical etc. psychology texts probably really offend Scientologists, and I’m sure you can come up with other combinations without too much effort.

Das Kapital, any civil war history covering the western campaign and it’s generals, anything covering civil rights, the Vietnam period…
Honestly I don't think it's going to make much of a difference.

The real money is in ads that are targeted to a search -- whether you're asking Search or a chatbot for "best fleece half-zip for men" you'll get shown the same ads targeted to that.

While if you're asking it to write a script for you... you probably were to busy to be even looking at or clicking the ads Google was showing anyways back when you were looking for Stack Overflow answers, no matter if it took 100 searches. (There's also nothing stopping Google from showing you 3 new ads before each new chatbot response.)

I have full faith in Google figuring out how to insert just as many ads as before. ;)
This is really nice. I am always appending forums names and reddit to my searches.

Moral rights is indeed "the right to be identified as the author of a work".

I don't think it means the author has a right to all similar styles. If I can legally ask somebody to paint me something in the style of a famous (living) artist, that person presumably having seen and studied their famous works for a while, why should I not be able to ask the AI to do the same thing?

(I understand there might be people who think even a human person emulating the style of another artist is morally wrong, but at least that's a consistent argument)
Don’t use an exchange?

This isn’t as clever as you think it is, and it will not age well. Fiat does not have a future within a spacefaring civilization.

Cryptocurrency is not an exchange. Bitcoin is not an exchange. The technology is unprecedented and revolutionary. It removes parasitic intermediaries and allows the common man to transact at light speed directly with each other.

The same old parasites are hard at work to inject themselves in the process. How anyone could conflate centralized exchanges with decentralized protocols is beyond me. May as well complain at the sun for being hot or complain at water for being wet.

Water is a good example actually. You know, it is possible to drown with water, should we all stop drinking it? Some people even take the water, bottle it up, then sell it back to us. Those companies must be water, I don’t like them. We should stop using water because it’s centralized with Nestle.
This sounds like pretty much how we use our credit card's extended warranty on purchases, except we do it via the bank's website (Chase or Amex, our credit card issuer), instead of the retailer. A couple clicks, and done.
> It seems that violation would only come if you would use the model to produce images that are derivative of that original image, the same way a counterfeiter would make a copy of it. Have the skill to copy is not the same as actually copying.

With this sort of model's "creation" process, is something close to everything it generates derivative of everything it ingested, since had you ingested a different set of images you'd presumably have a different model with different weights?

That's kinda sorta analogous to human creation, but a human can much more actively choose what to think about, what to ignore, what to filter out.

The human process involves an explicit creative judgement step that I don't think the image-generation-by-model process can - and that creative transformation is key, legally, to a derivative work being able to itself be copyrightable and to not be infringing.
Well HN is text-based as well yet...

I have C# from a school module from 7 years ago on my resume. I wouldn't be able to answer many interview questions about it but I would be read to work in C# after a few hours of brushing up my skills.

I also have 5 years of software engineering in a FAANG working mostly on Java.

But I guess you wouldn't hire me then.

It's fair to ask what level of proficiency the person has and skip the questions you were planning to ask if they answer like me, but it would be stupid to actively try to trap people.
"We didn't tell you you weren't good enough for a junior position."

Not explicitly but isn't that the implication if I applied to a position open to levels 1-3?
To be fair, the trade-off is that there aren't any fees and it's nearly instantaneous. For the type of transaction similar to handing someone you know a wad of cash, it seems pretty good.
It’s commonly called ALL_CAPS (e.g. https://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html#C_Names).
This is a good question, and if you just look at it from a surface level the companies that were stupid enough to over-hire, are also stupid enough to lay off for no measurable ROL (return on layoff).

But if you look at it through lens of the billionaire investor/shareholder(1), you see that layoffs have an ulterior motive. I believe the tech companies collectively see this as an opportunity to lower the median compensation and mitigate the leverage tech employees have gained in the last few years.

Why is a billionaire investor concerned about individual Google employees making $300,000? Because if competition is lower for talent, you don't have to pay people as much giving the company more money to buy back shares and other things to enrich investors.

The elite who are exempt from the gravity of every day life don't want us wage slaves to have the power to continuously gain more compensation or more flexibility in our chosen work environment. They would absolutely pay us all minimum wage if we would accept it and they could get away with it.

As long as their pockets stay full, they don't care how empty yours are.

IIRC, Amazon has an option to delay delivery and you get some credits.
People end up with such conclusions because of developer-bubbles and 'hip/visible' organizations using 'better' technologies. They have no awareness of the enterprises that use PHP directly or through frameworks, WordPress and other apps. These organizations don't tend to do high-profile PRs or hire in hip places. They silently recruit developers and keep them on board for ages. Merely WP itself is a gigantic space, leave aside Laravel etc.

https://www.isitwp.com/popular-big-name-brands-using-wordpre...

So basically people get such misconceptions due to the perception-distorting bubbles that they are in. And not only related to PHP - it applies to any language, stack, technology even the Internet itself...

> And this is exactly what this court case is about, whether or not Stable Diffusion ultimately is just another - complex - form of mechanical transformation or whether it creates original work.

No, it's not at all. This court case is about:

Plaintiffs Sarah Andersen, Kelly McKernan, and Karla Ortiz (“Plaintiffs”), on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, bring this Class Action Complaint (the “Complaint”) against Defendants Stability AI Ltd. and Stability AI, Inc. (collectively “Stability”); Midjourney, Inc. (“Midjourney”); and DeviantArt, Inc. (“DeviantArt”) (all collectively “Defendants”) for:

1.) direct and vicarious copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 501;

2.) violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 1201–1205 (the “DMCA”);

3.) violation of Plaintiffs’ statutory and common law rights of publicity, Cal. Civ. Code section 3344;

4.) violation of Unfair Competition law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17200, et seq.;

5.) and declaratory relief.

So for each of those complaints the defense needs to establish that their actions fit a different narrative, one that is legally coherent and against the claims for damages.

So for copyright infringement they are going to go for a fair use defense. I'm sure they won't only reference VCRs and Google Books! I'm certain they won't talk about "aggregators" and "generators" because this is not a Supreme Court opinion. They're going to use the established legal doctrines. I'm sure that their lawyers have plenty of other relevant case law at their disposal.

As for DMCA and rights of publicity, this seems to be what motivated Stability AI to adhere to "takedown requests" as they probably had some lawyer whispering in their ear that they probably don't want to spend the time and money testing this in court if it doesn't really impact the marketability of their tool.

I haven't ready anything about the Unfair Competition law in California.

But the essay brings up another connotation: to simulate
is to pretend to be something. A simulator wears many masks.
If you ask GPT to complete a romance novel, it will simulate
a romance author and try to write the text the way they
would. Character.AI lets you simulate people directly,
asking GPT to pretend to be George Washington or Darth Vader.

[…]

This answer is exactly as fake as the last answer where it
said it liked me, or the Darth Vader answer where it says it
wants to destroy me with the power of the Dark Side. It’s
just simulating a fake character who happens to correspond
well to its real identity.

[…]

The whole point of the shoggoth analogy is that GPT is
supposed to be very different from humans. But however
different the details, there are deep structural
similarities. We’re both prediction engines fine-tuned
with RHLF.

And when I start thinking along these lines, I notice that
psychologists since at least Freud, and spiritual traditions
since at least the Buddha, have accused us of simulating a
character. Some people call it the ego. Other people call
it the self.
