I'm sympathetic to your point, but this usage of should in a non-normative way is also thoroughly colloquial and understood by pretty much any native english. Maybe there is some slight, subconscious coloration, but I can't think of other things which have had a bigger effect on the public's distrust of science than leaving off "according to our best model" from the end of a sentence.
Of course. Gotta do class action. The lawyer sues on behalf of MANY people. Then collects a percentage of that. A lawyer will do this and suggest this if he sees it's possible. If not likely he won't take the case.
> tolerance for school shootings utterly baffling.

I hang out with fewer gun owners than many but I am from Tennessee. It is kind of like getting people to recognize the need to do something about climate change. Most everyone recognizes it as a problem now, but solutions are someone else's business. "The ability to affect the problem is upstream, what am I going to do about it? What am I supposed to do about schools, sell my gun and be without it when something crazy happens?" That is even before addressing that they can be fun, like a collectible or a sport.

The ideas tossed around are often regulations at the consumer level, and the societal momentum is thoroughly against those in general.

If an uncharacteristic law was introduced along the lines of, "no more new guns" then some in my area would begin manufacturing themselves. I already see cardboard signs advertising squirrel rifles.

And what about the car behind him? He's now up on your tail, wondering wtf is wrong with you and why are you blocking a spot he wants...

The only reliable way to do this is to stop before you pass the spot, have your passenger get out, and then the passenger blocks the road and pretends to give you guidance on how to back in. That makes it obvious, and it also physically prevents them from stealing the spot unless they're comfortable with driving over a human.
The US has private cameras all over the place, and spy sats looking at most things
Well... there is another problem obviously apart of low traction, which car cannot sense directly. Accumulation of water or snow obstruct the radar. Actually a car with no camera would report exactly that just from radar readout alone, since it can detect worse signal-to-noise due to too much reflection in its readings.

I'm in the "we need something newer and modern, designed from the ground up" camp and also don't have a concrete proposal (just half-baked ideas). I'm just disappointed that with all the creative people out there in the industry, we keep just reimplementing Unix after all this time.

Have we truly reached a global optimum in system design with Unix? We're done? Forever? We're just going to keep writing new layers and APIs on top of it without even considering a redesign?

I'd like to see something different just for the sake of being different. Maybe it would be better, maybe worse, but we'll never know if we don't try.
Bingo!

At many national labs, there's a reason why the acronym RIP stands for "retired in place," rather than "rest in peace."
In that case, why even spend money trying? Just deliver cars with room for the customer to add what they want.
Yes, but that’s the point isn’t it?

Why not copyright them all?

Sure, it’s irritating, and troll behaviour; but that’s literally what patent trolls do right?
This is welcomed news! I'm diabetic (type 2). While I have it under control and don't need continous monitoring or insulin, it would be nice have data on levels monitored.

I've considered implantable monitoring like Eversense CGM but it's costly and the implants only last for 90 days and requires doctor's visit to "install" it. At the moment - I resort to finger testing whenever I feel off or want to know the measurement.

I would be willing to do an implant (chip?) if it can last for say a year+ with Apple Watch, for example, tracking the data and sending me alerts as needed.
That’s down to different reasons:

1. You can still reuse the binary blobs that make up the drivers.

2. Android has unlockable bootloaders whereas iPhones do not.

However the binary blobs are not always legally redistributable or even reusable.

They don’t also help if you need to support any version of the kernel other than what shipped in case there’s any ABI differences
I've gotten emails from old friend accounts that were totally taken over for spam purposes. Usually a low tech friend who just creates a new account.

How about more complex prompts?

If "print 'hello world'" is not copyrightable does that imply that more complex programs are also not copyrightable?

> "elephant with blue skin" or any other prompt

I don't buy it. The space of prompts is pretty big just at the length of a few lines. You'll find guides and how-tos on how to write the prompts you want, seems quite the complex and creative endeavour to me!
It's amazing how easily you skim over the behavior that women don't marry down.

It's always been a selfish behavior void of love, but I suppose that one can find rationalization in needing stability and protection if one is to start a family.

Now, however, as women match earnings or even out-earn the typical guy, they still won't marry down. Which creates selection criteria of an "impossible man". Acceptably attractive, stable high earner, emotionally advanced (yeah, right).

Meanwhile, men do marry down. And none have an ever increasing list of demands.
Just noticing the asymmetry here.

Anyway, men won't emotionally "improve" because that is a strictly female value assessment. We're not broken, we're just different. My girlfriend gives me a daily update of all the ups and downs and gossips in her dealing with colleagues at work. I do not give a shit about any of it, but will pretend to care.

Neither of us are broken, we're different. And that is fine.

I think the LA area’s low street light density is partially because things are so spread out that it wouldn’t be worth it. You probably still have too much light to see things like the Milky Way.

And I gotta say anecdotally, one of my top-10 most stressful driving experiences was trying to navigate Gardena at night, because they not only have few streetlights, but seem to use ineffective reflective strips as well.
That's one of those things about history that still don't add up in my mind. How come that so many breakthroughs were made by Russian/Soviet researchers who were tortured, imprisoned, or sent to a gulag, sometimes in the middle of working on those major achievements? You'd think that with the political climate in Russia/USSR in the 19th and 20th century, there would be near-zero scientific output coming from there - but it turns out the opposite was true.

I first started thinking about it when I read about Korolev. I can't imagine continuing to do any kind of work after spending years in prison and almost dying in a gulag.

> The ones with significant amounts of attention, post-editing, and economic value, the AI artist can simply register at the copyright office.

Even leaving aside that some people think coming up a prompt or choosing from multiple generated images is itself work enough to justify copyright you'll have so many very similar images registered that copyright trolls could still intimidate people into forking over settlement money and people would still argue that even the smallest changes (say to brightness level/saturation) justifies their copyright.

Leaving AI generated works free from copyright would be ideal, since it'd free those images for others to build off of and remix and reuse in new ways, it encourages commercial projects to hire human artists so that they can gain the protection of copyright, and it doesn't stop anyone from doing what they want with the technology. Comic book authors who illustrate their work using AI can still copyright their stories, trademark their characters, etc.

ChatGPT, what is the best way to cook an egg?

"Before I dive into answering your question, let me take a quick moment to advertise a completely unrelated product. Have you ever found yourself in the middle of an intense workout, only to realize that your gym clothes are too baggy, too tight, or too uncomfortable? Say no more! Introducing the FlexFit Pro 2000, the ultimate workout gear for fitness enthusiasts. With its state-of-the-art fabric and ergonomic design, the FlexFit Pro 2000 will keep you cool, dry, and comfortable, no matter how hard you train. And the best part? It comes in three exciting colors: black, dark black, and slightly less black. Don't wait, order now and take your workouts to the next level!

Now, to answer your question: There are a lot of different opinions on the best way to cook an egg, but ultimately it comes down to personal preference. Some people like their eggs fried, while others prefer them scrambled or boiled. Regardless of how you choose to cook your eggs, it's important to make sure they're cooked thoroughly to reduce the risk of foodborne illness."

I asked it to do this, and removed it from the query lol
> The next generation of SAE Level 2 automated driving will start in the Entry segment, leveraging the full potential of machine learning.

Forgive me, but my expectations for the "full potential" of machine learning are not so high. They're definitely not high enough to trust my life with.
AI is far more productive, and easier in modifying source pictures, than photography. Controlnet is not a mere tint, it can generate 20 artstyle variations of the source image in 30 seconds. No artist will have any income if this those AI outputs are copyrightable without cost.

I don't think past-decisions are that important here. There'll definitely be new laws around AI generated content, that set clear standards. Those standards have to consider the social impact of copyright and the livelihood of artists. The whole point of copyright is not some abstract golden moral standard, but something that keeps artists and writers employed.

That's why I think pay-for-copyright is the best balance in terms of liberty for AI art but preserving the incomes of traditional artists.

Funnily enough Roundcube isn't even one of the mail protocols. Its software connecting to the mail servers via a GUI over HTTP(S).

You don't have to give the entire world access to your web server. You could even use something like AuthPF to allow yourself to access it. Or a VPN like Wireguard. I do the latter now, but I used to do the former. Although back then I just used Mutt over SSH usually. Way faster than the web software I ran back then (probably Apache with Horde). What remains is all the stuff required for sending and receiving email. SMTP, IMAP, and the stuff to deal with spam (some kind of tarpitting as well as SPF/DKIM). In fact even the IMAP server could run behind Wireguard. So its only SMTPd and SPF/DKIM. There are some very secure SMTPd written, with great track records. Back in the days I ran Qmail with Courier-IMAP but I don't think SPF and DKIM existed back then.
This assumes that children are “held back” by not having unlimited access to screens. It also equates books with the internet which is absurd.

Social media, and the internet as we know it, have only been a part of children’s lives for about 15 years, less than a single generation. The idea that it is now an indispensable part of their development, and that depriving them of it is going to harm them us utterly ridiculous. As if every generation before now consists of drooling ape-men that could have been what this current generation of apparent Uber-children will become if only they too had access to TikTok and YouTube.

Mazda is great at this. They don’t pretend to make better software than Apple. They just give you nice hardware interface and a reasonable screen that you don’t have to touch to manipulate it while driving a large chunk of metal very fast.
I think nobody tries because everyone knows there’s a gigantic chicken or egg problem.

Everything is written for Unix-like systems (or Windows which is not that different) and everyone is not going to port all that software to a significantly different paradigm. So even if a new OS was great, the suspicion is that nobody would use it because no apps.

In reality I think good compatibility libraries could bridge the gap, so it would not totally be futile to try. But you’d need those compatibility layers out of the box.

Another big ugly hairy problem is hardware support. Existing OSes have vast libraries of drivers all built around POSIX-like paradigms. Getting good hardware support on a new OS is going to be a ton of work, maybe more than the OS itself.
Recently an organization representing war news reporters was distressed by the rise in female reporters getting killed, 6 more than the year before.

Men are not doing alright. And our response to it is nothing at all or...do better.
It's worth reading the response to Haidt and his coauthors re-analysis:

I haven't read all of Haidt's position yet, or the original paper, but this response is fairly convincing.
The stimuli may have been different than today - while a person is in prison (or abroad for a conference, collaboration, research or whatever trip) the family remains under close supervision of the special services, and the person is being reminded about that.
I agree, and I think society is beginning to wake up to this as suburbanism falls out of fashion. We structurally cannot all live in idyllic rural settings and conveniently be near urban centers.
Nothing about our process is "fully automated" --- as people who've gotten weeks-delayed responses to inquiries from me can attest, we've barely managed to automate email.
I've been doing it for well over 20 years now.

Ingress - out of the box rspamd is pretty decent and it is rather configurable.

Egress - DNS (A,AAAA, PTR), (E)HELO, SPF, DKIM, DMARC. "IP Reputation".

There are absolutely no shortcuts and yet most of the problems I diagnose regarding email delivery will find a missing PTR record or a miss-configured (or non configured) HELO. You cannot be lazy when it comes to email. SPF + A + AAAA + PTR and (E)HELO is a minimum.

There is one thing that you cannot generally, personally mitigate and that is being on a deny list due to your IP address. This one is a bit more tricky to deal with. You might have to use a relay. Another mitigation might involve IPv6.
> it may be possible to achieve a 100× energy-efficiency advantage

Running the math on a machine with 8x A100 (enough to run today's LLMs), that would be 300w * 8gpus / 100 = 24w.

This is within striking distance of IOT and personal devices. I'm trying to imagine what a world would look like where generative text models are commodetised to the point where you can either generate text locally on your phone, or generate GBs of text in the cloud.

I don't know about state representatives, but Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA, is explicitly against zealous prosecution of violent crimes (e.g., armed burglary) that don't result in actual physical harm. He was later forced to backpedal on that position.

What would be different about a scenario where Russia snuck commandos into the US to "law enforcement action" some Ukrainians? Nothing, because it's not acceptable, it's simply "might makes right."

I always suggest Developing Quality Technical Information, and I'll link to both Amazon [0] and my personal review of it [1]. This is the best book about writing I've ever read, and it's significantly improved my writing in concrete ways. One small example is that I no longer put gerunds (verbs ending in -ing as a noun) in any title or heading, because these don't translate well into other languages in such a context and as such may cause a non-native English speaker to slow down in their reading (or mess up your translator's job if they need to do i18n). But there are much more far-reaching changes; I tend to be a lot more concise, delete adverbs, force myself to use parallel structure, etc. As this blog post's author might put it, I'm a lot more judicious about when and where to employ my voice.

"it encourages commercial projects to hire human artists so that they can gain the protection of copyright"

How is this relevant to AI copyright?

If AI art is copyrightable, they'd still need someone to generate the AI art. That person is an 'artist' in the legal sense, regardless if they can draw or not.
If AI art is not copyrightable, they can still hire a non-artist (fully outsourcable), to do some minor post-editing of the AI art, and copyright it.
Interesting that you think that social services need oversight but police need training.
They have a trackpoint, so there's basically no other option. Sadly the build quality and repairability has gone down, which used to be the other big selling point. Also Macbooks are way uglier, but that will probably be disputed :P
I was sad to see this article not mention Orwell’s Politics and the English Language. It is one of the best guides to writing clearly and concisely I’m aware of. Too much writing meanders and fails to say what it means.

Binding arbitration is a process I recently went through, and I think that it's excellent for two parties which are reasonably well positioned to pay for the expense of both the process and the lawyers, as well as wanting an expitied process.

The way the clause is being used to quiet individuals is pretty awful, and while I'm not a lawyer, I suggest that indeed if you have a binding arbitration clause- exercise it.

You can always retract your claim. In fact, arbitration bodies love settlements.

If you don't, then indeed, go after them in small claims court.

Upwork will have two choices: to fight you or not. They'll do the same calculation as you- the cost of the process will be expensive, and likely cost them more in legal fees then is in dispute, so they're likely to pay you to make it go away.

If you think they're going to fight, then withdraw your arbitration claim, but I suggest before even doing that, explain your situation in a letter sent by email (or registered mail) to Upwork:

https://www.upwork.com/about/contact

And explain you'd like to resolve the matter amicably, but if that's not possible, you're prepared to exercise the arbitration clause (or take them to small claims court).

This will alert their legal team, who will now explain to someone else that the matter doesn't make sense to fight, etc.

Once again I Am Not A Lawyer, but I think this is your best bet in getting the money back. But of course if you do this, you won't be working with Upwork anymore.
