Google can legally return a copyrighted image in Image search (it’s not selling the image, it’s selling ads against search results) and this would probably fall under the same protection.

Hello! I'm a full-stack software engineer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Recently, I developed Bard (https://bard-rr.com/), an open-source session replay tool that enables the viewing and analysis of user sessions. I'm actively looking for my next role, and I am eager to continue growing as a software engineer.
This reads like the pages they're talking about.
https://archive.md/bdXL1
We achieved more than 3 times speedup using "on-demand" transparent huge pages in ClickHouse[1] for a very narrow use-case: random access to a hash table that does not fit in the L3 cache but is not much larger.

But there was a surprise... more than 10 times degradation of overall Linux server performance due to increased physical memory fragmentation after a few days in production: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/commit/60054d177c8b...

It was seven years ago, and I hope that the Linux kernel has been improved. I will need to try "revert of revert" of this commit. These changes cannot be tested by microbenchmarks, and only production usage can show their actual impact.

Also, we successfully use huge pages for text section of the executable, and it is beneficial for the stability of performance benchmarks due to lowering the number of iTLB misses.

That makes sense and traceability is useful there. Not what I would describe as “comments”, which shaped my original response, but that’s semantics, not substance.
They found it because they got incredibly lucky.

If it would have bounced just a few meters further off the road, landed in a ditch and get covered by something, or its emission beam angled away from the road/sky (for directional sources), it might never be found (or not before it causes some harm).
Until the FCC declares AM broadcast illegal (and likely for some time after, as pirate radio stations will attempt to fill the dead air out of sheer contrarianism), there will always be users of the AM band. Hell, as popularity wanes, I'll bet that broadcasting expenses will go way down, so we could very well see a renaisseance in the next couple decades as community groups take to it as a new-old means of distribution.

The existence of simulcast doesn't make the AM broadcast any less real. It just broadens the listener scope.
> holocaust-like stuff happening in Israel against Palestine.

Completely insane and delusional take on that conflict
My current one.

It's my highest paying, but also filled with the most lies or double standards, frustrating, and stressful.

I've also worked in retail, in a warehouse, and as a janitor. The pay sucked, but at least the impact was tangible and the expectations were straightforward.
I was really confused by "the animals asking for help compilation" referenced in the blog post. What animals compile? I was disappointed, but I'm sure a near future AI will be able to generate what I was looking for.

That’s all true, you’re right, but what does it mean we should do? Shouldn’t the models actually guarantee they can’t reproduce inputs, given that in the U.S. all images are copyrighted by default? The only images that are legal to copy for training, and legal to distribute in the form of a neural network that can spit them out are the images explicitly licensed, for example, by Creative Commons.

The Imagen outlier results validate the accidental memorization of images, even if it’s a small number. And it might be premature to conclude that one paper’s inability to find memorized outliers in SD means that it doesn’t happen. It might be true, but 10k images is less than one ten-thousandth of the training data, and it’s certainly possible that more successful attack methodologies could exist. This represents a single attempt performed under many assumptions and run on a tiny fraction of the inputs, and nothing more.

Even if Stable Diffusion doesn’t memorize outliers, or any non-duplicate images, does that matter? SD will be out of date pretty soon and replaced by another network. If they didn’t take care to prevent memorization, if SD’s memorization behavior (or lack thereof) is accidental, then how do we know it won’t happen more often in the next network? Isn’t this a problem that needs to be explicitly addressed, and not just claim it’s uncommon?
Every time I see OpenSSL anywhere I get this instant anxiety.
Well, needing a table, external keyboard and external mouse.
From what I've seen, the only higher ed experience where people care a lot about grades, class rank, etc. and it's highly competitive is law school. Everywhere else in academia there is grade inflation. The reason law school has avoided this trap is because top law firms that pay very well only want the top 5% based on class rank, especially outside of maybe the top 14 law schools.

The U.S news law school rankings hold a lot of weight.
They include statistics for how many of their students place at top law firms. If they grade inflate and lose credibility with these top law firms as to the grades being indicative of the quality of their students, top law firms will stop hiring from those schools, and their rankings will collapse. Of course, if you got a C in law school, that's a bad grade. In fact, you can flunk out if your grades go below a B-. Also, classes are graded on a strict curve. The teacher can only give out a certain number of A+s.
If you can't consistently measure a 5% difference in a tightly controlled environment, how are your real world users going to notice? If your users don't notice, who cares?

Furthermore, if that 5% optimization is truly critical to the application (despite not being measurable?), how are you going to ensure that some future change doesn't break that? Something as simple as a compiler update could change some optimization that breaks your assumptions. What do you do in the absence of tests to ensure that doesn't slip through?
This is a great counterpoint, but you're missing the other half of the argument. The realm of subcultures that do not require one to change their material lives/location is far vaster than it has ever been. Perhaps the author is unaware of the seemingly endless array of niche blogs and forums and servers that cater to far-flung populations of people engaging in all manner of counterculture, some of it radically "counter", that did not and could not exist without the internet.
I think their point was that BLM has flipped from counter cutler to mainline culture

It’s on flags at schools, supported by government, roads are named after it, they have an enormous foundation with staff, and it’s even in college course curriculum
A major factor here is that social networks rely on advertisers interspersing their content in between user-generated content. For business reasons, the networks can't have their ads placed near anything controversial.

So the networks systematically demote controversial content.

Here's a sticker at a large Danish supermarket showing it isn't necessarily that simple.

It says local and foreign debit cards are free, but Danish credit cards cost 0.9375% extra and foreign ones 1.75% extra. Maybe the rule only applies in the Eurozone?

Seems to be no different than how people memorize "facts".

I'm watching my daughter learn shapes right now. When I see a square, I call it a square and look for a matching "square" piece. It seems when my daughter sees a square, see is still looking at it's properties, labeling individual attributes (pointy thing here), then trying to find the same attributes on the corresponding piece. Eventually, my daughter will see a square enough that the concept will be re-enforced in her mind as a square.

I wonder if a similar behavior is happening here. This specific image was presented enough times that it essentially "burned into" the AI. Rather than having to attempt to generate this image from scratch, the AI will simply pull out the canonical reference.

There's a vanishingly small number of applications where it's really going to make a difference. Use what your work uses, or if personal project what you like. The more I use React and co. the more I feel like it's all the same thing.

You can find dissenting opinions online. The major hubs are of course the places that the mainstream will claim are full of terrorists and other miscreants, e.g. the *chans and now the fediverse instances that more mainstream ones refuse to federate with. But there are many smaller spaces online, not run by big tech and small enough to fall under the radar of the mob. HN itself does still tolerate plenty alternate opinions.
Only under assumption that you are writing perfect tests.

But if you are capable of writing perfect tests, why haven't you written perfect software in the first place?
Any resume including a recent Microsoft QA position is an automatic reject for me. Microsoft does not hire technical people, they hire robots who need their tests written for them.
SEEKING WORK | San Francisco, CA, USA | Remote OK

I can take on dev work using Python or Java with a focus on API and am capable of non-SPA frontends such as for internal tooling or proofs of concept. I can also fill in for some product management and tech lead duties, will explain a little of my experience below:

Python skills are modern with Flask, and Java skills are a bit outdated back to version 8 with Protocol Buffers and Kafka. I can also do Clojure on top of JVM and would be happy to get back into it, but the last time I used it was in about 2015 and it was for a work project. I'm deeply familiar with HTTP and have used HAproxy some and Nginx quite a bit, familiar with sticky routing and load balancing concerns. I've built a high volume, low latency data pipeline from the ground up, integrated with a production pipeline.

Frontend skills date back to pre-Bootstrap vanilla CSS, and I do refresh myself every couple years... presently refreshing Bootstrap 5 and Flex layouts; far from a pro, just saying where I'm at. Javascript and platform API knowledge is very strong, I just don't have working experience with modern frameworks and would need ramp up time.

DevOps skills are pretty good, with focus on 12 Factor App style. My history of running Linux goes back to the early 2000s with Apache/PHP/MySQL/Drupal stacks up to today with RasPi and Cloud instances. I can use raw operating systems with Ansible-like tools and also have experience with Docker and Kube including writing Helm charts.

I'm also familiar with some online marketplaces and e-commerce stacks like Shopify, Gumroad, Fiverr, and Rapid API so I can fill in gaps with those duties as well, and advise on monetization strategies for SaaS. I've done endless API integrations with many e-commerce and social media stacks, so that's a strong point that I can help with.

I could probably make my way into a first-time Dev Manager or Director role for the right team and have received such proposals in the past, but am presently focused on personal goals and happy to come in for assignments that I can knock out and automate or document and hand off.

Ideal first project length would be something like 2 weeks, and I prefer fixed pricing to hourly pay for dev work and day rates for consulting.

> People are generally not capable of creating realistic copies of anything straight from memory

The average person can't even draw a bicycle from memory[0]. Gp is overestimating human capacity for reproduction.

However, whatever humans are capable of or not is a red herring. If humans memorize and reproduce a copyrighted work - it counts as a performance or copy. Someone typing Dan Browns novel on their blog from photographic memory does not get a pass, and noether should the AI models.

Yes, because an organized crime group would never have a politician involved. That politician also might never mention to said crime group that an investigation might be difficult, ineffective, or simply take a very long time to determine those responsible.
Are you claiming that the Pentagon is secretly acquiring F-35 airframes for far higher prices than other JSF program partners or foreign sales customers, in order to cook the books?
The '10 years experience in a 2 year old language' is an unrealistic whishlist, just like an applicant might have a (probably more realistic) wishlist for compensation or something else. I expect both parties to be truthful about the facts, and either party clearly lying about facts is fraud.

Personally, the banner ads at the bottom of the screen and ads for hints don't bother me at all. Most apps I find seem to have a system where you have to watch an ad after completing a puzzle or when you make a few incorrect guesses, which bother me. I do always appreciate when apps have an option to turn of ads for a buck or two so I'm sure others would appreciate that too. I'll be sure to check back in once I get a chance to play through a full game!
I have felt like a contrarian for a while for not thinking the US (or the West generally) is in decline.

Here’s a random example:

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/nj3z7ieVrCcgyQkq6myNZ.jpg

Doesn’t look like decline to me. I could cite dozens more examples and not just around technology.

Russia is a good example of a nation in decline: hemorrhaging young people, horrible corruption, cynicism, delusional leaders, and the use of imperial war and dramatic ideology to try to paper over it all.

We do have a lot of dumb problems like a homelessness epidemic that are due more to lack of political will than inability to fix them.

Some are also due to the high priority we place on individual freedom. We’d rather have freedom from detention and to move about than round up the homeless and force them into institutions. We’d rather have shootings than remove the individual right to bear arms. We’d rather have strong property rights than eminent domain people to build infrastructure. Etc.
Sadly, it seems like nobody is considering the best optimization: make DOM operations fast. I think if you could batch DOM operations together you could avoid a lot of wasted relayout and duplicate calculations.

and this leads to _clear_ writing. Write clearly.
I agree with your point. But to be fair, many news sites are also a source of misinformation and nonsense, a fraction of which has some value. When hearing any news, I think it's important to get some independent verification before doing anything serious with it. News sites should be doing that verification, but they are strongly pressured to get news out fast, and verification often suffers.
> Thus, all abstractions are not pure overhead

Sorry for the pedantry, but I believe this would still be wrong as phrased. Maybe "not all abstractions are pure overhead" would work?
Discord chat works fine in a browser. It is only call options (audio and video codecs?) that give headache.
I love online recipes. I can see what other people said about the recipe, and it’s more likely to be something contemporary. Many of the recipes in cookbooks “age out” as that style of cuisine goes out of style. See: 1950s recipes with jello.
Comes up all the time. There was another tool like this (huggin?).

I think what often gets missed and what gives zapier great power is the developer platform that can let devs build anything! I have a lot of custom integrations with apps that support use cases that afaik only I have. It is incredible effective.
> This belief, when realized upon women's prisons, which house mostly working-class women, ends up with males being incarcerated in such prisons, with predictable results: sexual assault, rape, impregnation - and a pervasive fear of all these being inflicted. A terrible cost for imprisoned women to bear, in the name of inclusivity.

> ends up with males being incarcerated in such prisons

Well, no, those are women. The myth that men use inclusivity to get access to women is just that, a myth, unless you can provide evidence that this is really a common occurence. Obviously violence in prisons needs to be avoided but that's a different topic.
Why the scare quotes? Be specific.
Interestingly they provide 180 pages of filler to give a 10 page summary of Buddhism which is itself captured in 57 dense volumes of content. That level of compression gives you an indication of how valuable a self help book will be.

Sure, not easy to find a good recruiter, but yes, they exist. Hence the advice "Contact 3-4 recruiting companies in your area" - you need to do some outreach to them. Get referrals from network as to who may have used someone. I've had a couple of good engagements from recruiter-connected work over the years. Had a couple of not great ones too, but... they pass. You move on. Just like with 'job hunting' - you need to work it. Be talking to multiple recruiters at the same time.
