The following contains hyperbole; please interpret words like "everybody" appropriately.

What's annoying about the AI art zeitgeist is how dramatic and frankly mean everybody is about it, on both sides. And then the sheer ignorance about how AI models work, again, from people on both sides of this stupid internet fight-of-the-month (year?).

It's always something on one side of "AI art is the future and artists should stop whining that they're obsolete!" or "AI tech-bros are literally stealing in a way fundamentally different than all prior art consumption!".

Everybody is talking past each other. Using (or not using) an ML model to do anything nowadays is politicized like mask wearing. Glaze is, at its core, a GAN. The key word is "adversarial", and it will be defeated in... already, looks like.
They were in the original list I looked at but edited cause was getting long.
While there’s going to be a lot of growth a lot of the same things can be said about Vietnam. Foreigners will never win an argument against locals, some locals will die on a hill defending the 150-200 AQI for 5 months out of the year. I don’t mean this as advice to avoid Vietnam, but just that 1/2 the bad things said about China apply to most Asian countries.
The new McCarthyism.
You’re not even close to being right.

Call. A. Lawyer.

This is a standard business dispute situation. Stop trying to hack your way around that fact. Lawyers are the technical specialists in dealing with this sort of problem and know how to get the attention of other lawyers.

99% of all 'Ask HN: X is killing my small business, pls halp' posts are straightforward legal dispute problems. Many can be taken care of with just a consultation and a letter. If you are having a problem with a corporation and their social media account doesn't immediately help you out, then going in circles with their customer service is probably a dead end. People in customer service roles have little or no decision-making capacity within the corporation. Make it a business problem by involving a lawyer.

It's true, calling a lawyer will cost a few hundred $ and could cost a few thousand $. But that's business. Maybe your friend can do some sort of Goth-themed fundraiser/raffle.

aptX LL actually supports bidirectional audio. There's also the Faststream codec that does SBC in both directions. For some reason almost no one implements any of these and we're left with atrocious HSP/HFP profiles.
So CC-BY
WhatsApp is built upon XMPP, and it's by far the most successful deployment of this protocol, with over 2.2 billion users.
>there are claims that covid was detected in the US months before covid spread in Wuhan.

I've heard claims it spread in China months before it's official detection in Wuhan, but not regarding the US. Source?
They may be collateralized by bonds worth even less than that.

If the bonds were worth 80 cents on the dollar than they just traded 80 cents on the dollar for 99.9 cents on the dollar. A good deal if your balance sheet is in such poor shape.
It’s the same for every industry here.

Swap mining with telecom, grocery, or alcohol and the description still stands.
It's far from everybody. You're just hearing from the loudest, most amplified voices on the internet.
And how is this rant connected to the rather interesting application of AI countermeasures in the article?
Things keep going that way. First movie I saw from that director, so I didn't expect he'd actually lead the film down that path so quickly and determinedly.

But if you don't like the start of that path, you probably won't like the middle or end.
Why do you think? They have no subscription revenue and every click makes them money
I'm building something similar[1] but for the web. Imagine creating your own command palette/context menu for any web page. ChatGPT really opened up a lot of mind blowing possibilities and the speed of innovation in this space makes me both excited and anxious.

Now if the Chrome store stops taking 3-4 days to approve an update, that'd be great!

They just don't care
Maybe I am missing something, does chatgpt-4 or whatever is the latest actually use the text it’s asked to parse as input prompt ? How would this ever work ? Also my impression was that LLM based chatbots were like trained on massive datasets to be able to generate text not actually do adhoc web scrapping combined with llm to behave like a real time search engine robot.
Might be wrong, but would be surprised if this worked, given Chinese Navy for example frequently escorts fishing boats, so I assume if sinking ships became common China would just sink any unflagged ships as pirates ghost ships.

Sure, but since Qualcomm is never going to give anyone a license to use it and the lack of cleanroom means the provenance is somewhat uncertain, I think "dubiously legal" is a perfectly acceptable description. It's not like I'm saying it shouldn't exist or anything. Just, be aware that the semiconductor mafia considers this part of their turf and wear some kneepads if you're going to make money with it.
Somehow I doubt the people given water rights in perpetuity are still alive today. At some point, governments should not be held liable for bad promises made centuries ago which simply can't be kept today.
You'll note on reviewing my comment that I didn't claim there are no differences. That's intentional, having tread the relevant ground plenty of times myself.

The similarities matter more than the differences here.

And the problem really isn't breaking new ground in general. People saw the similarities at least as far back as the printing press. The problem is getting people to care about the claims others have on the fruits of their labor, and why incentives might matter for everyone.
> There's another genre also commonly called Black Comedy where Black is African American not Dark.

Ah, well, that would explain it. I'm not American. I have never before now heard the term "black comedy" refer to comedy solely by African Americans.
It wasn’t until this comment that I went back and checked. I would have bet money on it being windows - and some energy saving trick.
HK, it seems, doesn’t have the death penalty or corporal punishment. Let’s see how long that lasts, but for the time being that’s a huge positive over Singapore.

Expat life is still pretty nice. Soho is bustling. Restaurants are reopening, clubs open to 6am.

Stuff like SVB, CS, and flow on effect to legal is probably just a big an impact.
Everyone online community can be perfect if group membership is small enough. Up until that point the underlying tech does not matter. I have been part of great hobby groups and discussions on niche subreddits, random Whatsapp groups, Usenet/IRC, even plain old email threads. So in that sense, yes, Mastadon can be great as well.

The real test is – can your community handle an influx of a billion of the worst users on the internet? People baiting for flame wars, bots, scammers, pedophiles. They are all out there, and will show up the second your service has a whiff of popularity.
A lot of these aren't technically or graphically minimal

Quite a few are graphically maximalist in fact, like that record one

Edit: holy fuck that Record Label one is the website equivalent of a maximalist Jacob Collier 100 part harmony

How did it even get on this list?
> But you didn't, your post is play vs no play.

Perhaps I failed to emphasize, but the last bit was important to my point. Studies have shown motor skills are important for kids and can affect later academic performance, and good playgrounds help kids develop motor skills.

> Playgrounds for children are a relative new invention, especially for the unwashed masses.

Indeed... yet somehow you don't think they play any role in how kids develop now compared to before they became common?
It’s a stretch to think any country would go to war to prevent the crimes they to commit.
I would assume it means having more babies and getting eaten less often by predators relative the competitor.
It’s exactly what will happen. This is a zero sum game. Hardware is not like software where open source can just easily be used by everyone. Hardware is expensive and takes years to develop and iterate. Yes RISC-V is fun for various research projects, but the reality is any serious chip will have extreme requirements to be successful. One of them is complete software support (binaries, OSes, compilers, debuggers, JIT engines, etc). If you enable that, you enable a serious hardware company. China is missing the software bit to entice adoption of its chips. It’s a winner-takes-all situation, and they publicly talk about their intention to take over. Few outside of China win in that situation.
> Glaze is, at its core, a GAN. The key word is "adversarial", and it will be defeated in... already, looks like.

As for the rant: the AI art horse is being beat to death, and it's boring to see the same arguments made past each other over and over. Sorry, sometimes it feels good to rant.
It’s outright predation, which is a little different. The idea here is that the Brown Widows aren’t eating the Black Widows’ food sources, or otherwise infringing on their niche- they are just straight up eating them.

Like you wouldn’t describe us as “outcompeting” Bluefin Tuna, but we are doing our best to drive them to extinction by eating them.
Unless the bank fails that doesn't matter. And the banks won't fail because the incentive to run them is gone now. Everyone will see their deposits are safe and the banks can give the money back with interest.

I also hate this pattern, but it seems to be pretty common.

Usually all the links within the article are interlinks. External links, if any, would be provided at the bottom of the article. In this very case they didn't provide any to Blockbuster unfortunately, just a source link which is from Reddit.
>A proliferation of extremely high-quality fakes will educate the public about detecting fakes, and spark an increase in the value of the real.

The search cost for the truth is astronomical and most people are already either unwilling or unable to pay it, so we go off heuristics most of the time. Our bandwidth is already saturated. The generation bandwidth of BS has had an order of magnitude increase. The best outcome I can envision for the education on detecting fakes is that we come to the conclusion "there are so many of them now" and "they are so hard to detect" followed by a sad face emoji.
Having worked on news sites in the past, this is probably an SEO trick. They have now planted a link, with anchor text, pointing to a page with a lot of content about Blockbuster Video.

Often, the search engines are smart enough to detect this behavior and not rank it too highly. But in a lot of cases, this entity detection and link adding is automated, and so these sites can end up with hundreds of thousands of internal pages (one for any entity they've published articles about) and inevitably some of them will rank. And even if they don't, they've at least given the search engines a sort of hub and spoke pattern to crawl that topic on their site.
I'm gonna have to hard disagree on this. No matter how much testing you do, there will still be unknowns, or emergent properties that only exist in the exact production environment that is not present in test or stage. Shit does and will happen. Not deploying on a Friday night is an acknowledgement of this fact.
Before the lab leak theory became socially acceptable, there were a lot of useful idiots speaking up on HN, and they were protected by the admins. It seems to be less of an issue lately, but then again I try to disengage from any discussion about China. It gets so frustrating reading opinions from people who have never been there or have been there for a week and think they have some deep insight.
Multiple implementations are always appreciated, different languages etc. :)
GPTs Are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of LLMs
Similar things happen in the tech world - lots of various products are manufactured by a few; TVs being a really good example. There are only a few panel manufacturers out there.
IMO - this kind of tool cuts across a debate that currently involves a lot of people yelling past each other.

If you're an artist, of course you can make changes to your process or your content that modify how it's used. To argue otherwise is analogous to arguing we must always be mindful to stay in the surveillance cameras' view when walking about the streets.

Yes, it's a never-ending back-and-forth game that the obfuscater will probably lose in the long run (though abstractly, an obfuscation technique with >50% adoption could "win" long-term) . And yes, it's important to stay apprised about how effective such tools are.

But in the short term, the existence of these tools provides a critical counter-measure to the current narrative, which is basically that everything that can be scraped will be scraped. Returning to the cameras & streets analogy, obfuscation tools are maps that tell us about routes out of view of the cameras (even though these routes may often be blocked off or inconvenient).

Whether you hate AI art or love it, I honestly believe both sides can get behind understanding obfuscation and poisoning and making tools available: those opposed will use the tools, those who want to improve generative AI can learn from the counter-measures, etc. This kind of thing can be part of a healthy deliberative process around these emerging technologies.
My secondary school classes[1] covered a lot of those names but made no mention of Noether, which you'd think merits at least a "you won't understand it but here's why conservation laws exist". I'm not going to speculate on reasons/motivations but it really does seem to be a huge oversight.

It would be interesting to see how many of these criticisms are criticisms of these things as they stood and not for their potential; it seems ridiculous to place the onus on the critics to see if someone can execute well in the future.

Even extending this to a month for DMs is short enough. 6 months for group chats is better but not very satisfactory if one wants to refer to older chats.
> I mean, are you putting to question whether anything at all can be taught?

Teaching is not preaching. Facts are not values.

> I know I could have had better outcomes if I was given better advice.

This is what I dispute. You can give advice, but that doesn't mean anyone is going to take it. Especially not youths, who are omniscient, omnipotent, and immortal.
Yeah you can copy/paste some text then ask it to summarize it, extract something from it, ask questions about it, and probably other things.
This is creation of derivative art and publishing it in violation of license.

Fair use is violated by the scale of copy-paste involved, and well, none of "critic", "research", or "education" are the uses involved in the release of the derived art. (Writing a paper would fall under "research", iirc)
The FAQ says:

>Once you add a cloak to an image, the same cloak can prevent different AI models (e.g., Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc.) from stealing the style of the cloaked image

But my understanding of what they're actually doing is a data poisoning attack on the fine-tuning process (e.g. someone tries to finetune StableDiffusion on a handful of a particular artist's images). Does Midjourney offer that sort of finetuning at all? And isn't it misleading to say that you're preventing Midjourney and Stable Diffusion from "stealing the style"? That seems to imply you're also poisoning the regular training process.

I'm also very unconvinced that this offers any meaningful protection in practice. The lesson from years of research on adversarial perturbations has been that it's very easy to make your method look successful in your own paper against a naive adversary, and way harder to make something that stands up to an intelligent counter-attack.

I'm not really convinced it's ethical to present this in the way they do to artists who probably don't understand the technical details. Even with their disclaimers and limitations section, this website gives a much rosier picture of the tool's effectiveness than I think it justified. If an artist is concerned enough about this sort thing to want to use this tool, I think they'd be upset to learn about it's true (in)effectiveness, and once they've chosen to post their Glazed images, it's too late.
I come from a south Asian immigrant family in the US. Nearly every single person I know in my extended cohort of immigrants followed the script (because we were socialized to do so): we studied hard in school, pursued financially lucrative majors, eschewed dating at an early age, got married in our 20s, and had kids. My brother is having his first kid at 31–and my dad and I were frankly getting pretty antsy. And for every single one of us that followed the script it paid off, including those whose parents came here without white collar jobs.

And of course none of us talk about that in public because we want to seem illiberal to our educated white American friends. For a long time I reconciled myself to that cognitive dissonance. But my wife is American, from a deep blue state. And it’s been eye opening to watch the aftermath of the 1960s social revolution on Americans outside the economic elite. It seems like everybody’s parents are divorced. They hang around any stable family they can find. Nobody is willing to guide their kids: they’re supposed to “discover themselves” on their own. The parents are too scared to impose values: this is what we expect, this is what constitutes a good life, this is what your purpose and function and role is. It’s a mess. If American culture has been this way 200 years ago we would be living in a third world country.

I'd be less worried about Russia using a nuke directly as a state, and more about it doing what everyone feared in the fallout of the USSR collapsing.

They've already demonstrated a willingness for its materials to be used obviously on foreign soil with the barest pretense of deniability. I can't imagine they'd sweat too much if somebody set off a dirty bomb, and the willingness to take direct action in response isn't guaranteed by NATO.

I suppose it's somewhat up to how willing China and Iran are to ignore such an obvious act. The thing that actually keeps me up isn't their real response, but Russia's assumption of what it will be. Russia's predictive powers seem to err towards 'what we want is the right idea' more than 'we can actually get away with this', and they've simply taken advantage of tolerance more than weakness/fear.
Twitter's daily active user count has gone up since Musk took over. If people were chased off, they either came back or others filled up the numbers.

Anecdotally, I've enjoyed Twitter a lot more since his takeover. They've relaxed their rules and unbanned a lot of people who I'd missed seeing on the platform. Musk does seem to be at least partially keeping his promise of improving the free speech aspect of the site.

A nice chunk ($60B) of the loan book is still w the FDIC ready to get sold off separately. Should be interesting to watch where that lands.
would you consider living in Singapore? It seems to have a lot going for it, maybe apart from the high living expense.
We shouldn't admonish the mentally disabled for working if they want to. It's good that they have opportunities. We should be critical of societies that state they basically have to work or will die because they're responsible for their own financial security.

The issue is not the mentally disabled though. The issue is that people are being pushed into the absolute bottom tier of the labor pool. The decreasing opportunity for valuable labor wages is the problem.
100% agree with you here: I try to take care of my body as much as I possibly can, but it still gives me pains, aches, cramps, & just buckets of discomfort for most of my waking moments.

This doesn't even take into account of the fact that even if you were to meticulously plan every single bit of your life, your body can just betray you out of spite (I fear testicular torsion every day.)
I'll stick with my observations and experience over a propaganda campaign
I think Vietnam probably captures the atmosphere of China 20 years ago. Plus, Vietnamese people tend to be much friendlier and have better English literacy. I lived in Beijing and Shanghai during the good pre-Xi times, and I'm dying to go live in VN for a while.

Super interesting! I’m currently writing my master thesis on analyzing relationships between subreddits based on user and semantic similarity. For user similarity I use the Jaccard similarity between the unique set of authors of each subreddit.

Can I send you a message and quote you in my thesis? You can shoot me a short message as well: violets.parr-0c@icloud.com
This is quite an adversarial take. The author's follow-up replies are also hostile and dismissive. Smells like the sort of thing LinkedIn"fluencers" would post.

Good luck to whoever works under this person. Doesn't seem that they understand what it is to have a life outside of work.
So couldn’t you send a bunch of entangled particles somewhere and collapse the wave function on them in sequence in some way as to communicate faster than the speed of light?

Those articles are only referring to flights directly from Wuhan (ignoring the fact that neither Wikipedia nor the WHO are credible sources). International flights were still allowed from Beijing and other cities.

From a NYT article[1]:

> “I was surprised at how lax the whole process was,” said Andrew Wu, 31, who landed at Los Angeles International Airport on a flight from Beijing on March 10.

> Sabrina Fitch, 23, flew from China to Kennedy International Airport in New York on March 23.

> About 60 percent of travelers on direct flights from China in February were not American citizens, according to the most recently available government data.

So these were not only repatriation, but commercial flights.

The flight data also shows plenty of activity in February and March[2]. Whether those were only domestic flights or not is difficult to say, but clearly the shutdown wasn't total even domestically.
