Lamentably adding their training set will make Adobe's value proposition much higher.

Open source creative alternatives have a even harder time (Blender, inkscape, krita, Gnu Image Manipulation Program)...

Since Adobe lack of Linux support holds it back significantly with creatives, this makes opens source more of a challenge.

That is “mostly” just a PR narrative. The notion that it should be accepted at face value is farcical.

>The initial spec-writers in a clean room design are reading the closed-source work.

Right. And they're only exposing elements presumably not covered by copyright to the developers writing the code. (Of course, this assumes they had legitimate access to the code in the first place.)

Clean room design isn't a requirement in the case of, say, writing a BIOS which may have been when this first came up. But it's a lot easier to defend against a copyright claim when it's documented that the people who wrote the code never saw the original.

Unlike with patents, independent creation isn't a copyright violation.
Prompt: Compare the GTX4090 vs the 7900 XTX

-------------------------------------------------

The following table compares the specifications of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX:

Specification NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

GPU architecture Ada Lovelace RDNA 3

Number of cores 8,704 5,120

Clock speed 1.71 GHz 2.5 GHz

Memory 24 GB GDDR6X 24 GB GDDR6X

Texel rate 161.2 TFLOPs 233.2 TFLOPs

Ray tracing cores 52 80

DLSS cores 23 32

FreeSync Yes Yes

Price $1,599 $999

----------------------

As you can see, the RTX 4090 and the RX 7900 XTX are both very powerful graphics cards. The RTX 4090 has a higher clock speed and more memory, but the RX 7900 XTX has more cores and a higher Texel rate. Both cards support ray tracing and DLSS, and both are compatible with FreeSync.

The RTX 4090 is generally considered to be the better card, but the RX 7900 XTX is a great option for those on a budget. Ultimately, the best card for you depends on your needs and budget.

Yeah, you're not alone. Aaron posted a thread on Twitter that shares the inside skinny on what it took to ship this course (https://twitter.com/aarondfrancis/status/1638191349261377539) but I had an early peek into the work he was doing on this course, and there was a clear inflection point in the project when he joined Planetscale and had the benefit of being able to focus a substantial amount of his time on it in addition to all the work other members of the team there were able to contribute to it. Very grateful that Planetscale unlocked this so it's available as a free resource instead of having to be behind a paywall to support its creator.

No clue about the general topic, but if you hold margins constant during inflation, you should expect record-breaking nominal profits by default.

Surely you know this isn't the case right? Maybe you're confused because we're talking about programming and not a different creative artform?

Great artists read, watch and consume copyrighted works of art all day, if they didn't they wouldn't be great artists. And yet the content they produce is entirely there own, free from the copyright of the works they learned from.

What's the difference then in programming? Why can an artist be trusted not to reproduce the copyrighted works that they learned from but not the programmer?
You are responding to an off the cuff (and basically correct) remark with a deeply technical disagreement (that isn't incorrect either).

Total money supply means that eg doubling the amount of liquidity does not double the price of items, but printing money can cause inflation on goods depending on where that printed money is absorbed. Making free money for building houses is different then sending a check to every American.. but in practice the Gov did the latter and now eggs are more expensive!

Where you add the money makes a big difference!
Stallman shot himself in the foot by having a text only blog that was easily searchable when it came time for the wolves to cancel him. A crappy proprietary blog or thousands of hours of ranting via Youtube videos ironically would have slowed down the haters and maybe even cause them to miss things with which to cancel him with. Its hilarious in an ironic way. Bonus points if the cancelers were running GNU software. :D
I feel like website owners are going to have to block Bing's crawler soon.

Also they don't have a business selling cars that they can put it in as a desirable feature that is not the core value proposition.
Sellers have a moral imperative to figure out how much their stuff is worth by charging as much as they can.

When people stop buying what they’re selling, we know the product or service isn’t worth it, so the price comes back down.

Depends on the city but generally what you’ve described is completely untrue. Usually European cities try to pedestrianise their centre as much as they can and have all sorts of public transport schemes from Park and Ride to regular underground and overground rail services.

I live miles out of from London and get the train in. Almost nobody I work with live in the city and none of them drive in. In fact you wouldnt want to drive in London.

This has been true for so many European cities, Cambridge, Chelmsford, York, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, etc. all are very accessible for non-car owners.

Anyone who claims you need a car to live in a European city is someone who hasn’t experienced many European cities ;)
You settle the individual lawsuit with the party that started it. For a work with multiple authors, that wouldn't prevent the other copyright holders from suing you. This is one of the reasons GPL projects make lawyers risk-averse...

Generally the way GPL has been in the courts, the suing party won't just take some money and walk away happy, they'll ask for the infringement to end (one way or the other). That would make other copyright holders happy too.
I don't understand what your point here is. The initial spec-writers learned from the original code. This is not illegal, we seem to be agreed on this point. grondo made the point that learning from code should not be prohibited.

As a Clojure programmer, I don't care about any of the Java language features or improvements, but I'm super happy that I'm getting a state of the art JVM that is continuously developed, maintained, extended and optimized, over a time scale of decades.

This is incredibly useful: having a good VM to run your code in, with good modern garbage collectors, is not an obvious thing (as many other languages have learned).

This is not the LTS release, so I won't be switching to it, but I'm looking forward to the next LTS.
So you're saying they might be incompetent enough for their estimation to be off by 50x? You're also saying Google, _a cloud computing provider selling access to A100s_, can't scale this dynamically?

I agree, although a lot of listeners do listen to every episode of every show they subscribe to. It's just a personal choice.

I still use Overcast, though, but mimic the Castro behavior to a certain extent by having a "Latest" playlist and a "Starred" playlist. I look at "Latest" every day, star the ones I want to listen to, then eventually play from Starred.

This works fine for me, but probably skews the shows' stats a bit since I download many more episodes than I ever listen to.

My intent was to link the logic OP described with the logic behind price gouging. I didn't think it was expecting too much of the reader to have a negative view of price gouging and therefore view my comment as a criticism of OP's explanation.

And on top of that, there are plenty of novel things that may or may not be illegal. If it can be tricked into making a pro-Nazi statement, is it violating German law? What if it offers medical or legal advice without a license?

It's a pretty big legal minefield, and different jurisdictions have different laws and standards, so it makes sense to limit your exposure.

Simply having a notification on login that the account was locked, why, and means of unlocking it — unless there was proof of abuse - to me would have been the appropriate response. Not to mention you unilaterally edited username I had to remove spaces, which wasn’t blocked when I created username.

Basically, you’re not acknowledging both your error messages/notifications have repeatedly been problematic— or that banning users who used the system as designed is wrong.

> I think 2008 was spectacularly smooth with respect to inflation/deflation because they allowed enough banks to fail.

They also started paying interest on excess reserves held at the Fed as they printed up a bunch of money to recapitalize the banks so as to not end up creating trillions of dollars of new money.

This time they injected trillions of dollars directly into the economy (hello, Helicopter Ben) and are now dealing with the effects. All that cash caused a huge bubble in Silicon Valley because people had nothing to do for quite a while except buy and consume stuff off the interwebs.

Neural networks were first prototyped in the 1950's [1]. How practical was it to study them back then?

Aleksandr Lyapunov's theory of stability for dynamical systems, which forms the bedrock for much of control theory, was first proposed in 1892 and went unnoticed until the 1930's [2]. How practical was it for Lyapunov to study that topic?

It's virtually impossible to predict which mathematical tools will be "practical" or "useful" in the future. The point is that if someone needs the tool down the road, they'll have access to the solution due to the efforts of these mathematicians.

What they want is things to be easy and require a low to non existent cognitive load. You start confusing them with details of what could happen etc and all the gyrations they have to do to avoid it, they tune out and look at you like a tinfoil hat crazy (are you sure they aren’t right?)

As the techno elite, it’s actually our job to create the underlying reality everyone else participates in when using technology. So, it is our responsibility to care, if you care. It’s not theirs - they’re just here for the party. But that doesn’t mean they’re sheep for slaughter, because there are plenty of folks ready to slaughter them for money.

It’s our ability to understand the issues and to actually improve them that uniquely makes it important for us to care. But we can’t expect people to turn off the cat video for long enough to listen to us nerd at them, and we really can’t expect them to do something complex to avoid something they don’t understand or care about. What our challenge is is - how do we improve internet technologies sufficiently that everyone enjoys what we know is important but we don’t require them to care? That’s how you build a better emergent reality.

I’m glad to have had a hand in the Netscape and Mozilla’s launch and have watched Firefox for years with pride. They are the closest to a mainstream any man product that even remotely cares. WebKit safari is a close second. I hope we all find ways to develop the tech platforms that protect as well.
