Here's a bunch of consumer laws that work:

- living in the UK, I barely ever receive spam calls or messages. I can be reasonably sure that companies don't sell my contacts to third parties, I can withdraw my consent to marketing communications and spam will stop, I did it multiple times. My American friends seem to have way more problems with that, to the extent of buying burner phones to buy insurance. Considering that the tech is exactly the same across the pond, the difference is entirely in the legislation and consumer protection.

- cars became much cleaner and more efficient over the last three decades thanks to the ever ratcheting Euro standards. I only need an old car passing by to be reminded of that, you can just smell the difference.

- my broadband connection has a minimum average speed guaranteed by law, which protects me from the line being oversubscribed. This actually works, and a friend of mine got a sizeable compensation for a period when they didn't get the full speed.

So consumer laws work, and saying that enforcement can't be done is a bit of a post-hoc rationalisation. It is true that GDPR can and should be enforced harsher, but it's just one example in a long and successful history of consumer protections.
> Looking through your comment history it seems you require a source for every little thing you disagree with,

Interesting approach to having a fruitful discussion. I would recommend defending your claim rather than attacking my comment history. Yes, I like to ask for sources when I see something which I perceive as a extraordinary claim. It is not my intend to offend you. My intent is to acquire new data that may cause me to change my perception. Currently, I have not changed my position or perception of this discussion.

I think I'll summarize the argument here and try to steelman the position opposite to mine. Your position is that a company that "dumps" or "takes a prolonged hit" is conclusively proven to be a monopoly. Therefore, I assume you also call Google a monopoly in the search space, and you also call Microsoft a monopoly in the operating system space. Is that correct?
The "only" thing missing for this is to extend WASI beyond POSIX APIs (e.g. you'd need at least 3D rendering, audio and input APIs), but don't hold your breath I guess ;)

What kills me is the cookie consent stuff, they should of enforced that Do Not Track is honored, and have fees that make sites ensure compliance or be sued over not honoring DNT which iirc was sent as a HTTP header, it would of actually been a meaningful solve.
I think we will end up with something like permissions grants (including granular JS APIs available for the website, as we do for the location, camera APIs etc, at the moment) per website and convenient tools built-in browser that allow you create/re-use patterns so you don't actually interrupted by this strictness too much.

> I have seen people around me change their behavior irrationally and erratically, and not for the good, as in not being able to regulate their emotions in a sensible fashion

Their hearts have probably changed as well, and likewise, not for the good.
That is literally what GDPR is. Somehow it got reduced to cookie banners in HN psyche, but the whole idea of GDPR is to make sure that the data can be collected and used for well defined purposes that are either necessary to provide a service (preventing CC fraud would qualify), or are explicitly consented to.
They should enforce that Do Not Track is honored. Its the easiest way, and websites dont need silly cookie consent dialogs if set.
That is a common counterargument, and yet the common counter-counterargument matches my experience:

That sadly doesn't apply to housing or food, at least in the places I've lived. E.g. houses in the place I was born are now 5x the price, once you factor in inflation. Food and vehicles are 2x. Higher education went from "free" to $30K.

The really important things are far more expensive now, across the three countries I've spent decades in. Maybe the overall situation is different for the US of A.
Well Sweden doesn't have a property tax in those situations
> Simply put, GPL does not allow you to request "source code" for what you never used.

Sort of. The relevant section is:

> 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

> a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

> b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

If the company elects to go with option b, then yes - the GPL does allow you to request "source code" for what you never used.
Disclaimer (again): I am not a lawyer, so this is only my opinion.

Encryption prevents usage of the data. This doesn't. The data can still be viewed without any special software, device, password, key, etc. A sufficiently robust ingestion engine could still use it for training. In fact, even an unprepared engine can train on it, it only messes up the outcome.

Honest question: Is it harder to argue legally that I DRM-protected my work if I publish them in a form that needs an encryption key/software/device, or if I publish them for everyone to see after changing some pixels around?

> if this is legally protected

"If" is the important term here. It was mentioned above that "maybe" this counts in the same way as a Copyright protection measure.

I don't argue against that. Maybe it does. That is for lawmakers, courts and similar legal experts to decide.

My opinion as someone who isn't a lawyer, is that it would be EASIER to get courts to agree on that machine-readable tagging, simply disallowing usage of works for training, is similar to DRM measures, and ignoring them should be punished the same way as circumventing copyright mechanisms.

The added bonus for users: Such tagging is easier to implement, easier to update, there exists prior law already covering it (see several european countries) providing legal guidelines. Plus, artists wouldn't have to mangle their works to implement them, and it is useable with all forms of data, not just images.

I got the impression when I visited that the flipper strength on many games had been dialed down specifically to reduce the maintenance load on the rest of the playfield. It wasn't the same as wild instances of weak flippers where they tend to just be flaky and not trap up correctly.

I don't mind, the goal is preservation after all, and a lot of the SS games can be played elsewhere.

I’ve also had good experiences with agents, but only when I learned how. Early on I was burned by pump-and-dump agents - they send you below-par candidates, bullshit both of you, pressure you into saying yes, and then walk away with their commission. They dominate the market because they send everybody as fast as they can, and have the lowest fees. So if it’s your first hiring experience the odds are that you’re working with such an agent, whatever they tell you.

Find an agent who takes a long-term view of the relationship by showing them you will be hiring many people over the years. Get them to send you their best candidates - respond to their messages quickly and with useful feedback. Nurture the relationship by also sending good engineers and employers their way. They are often more expensive and send fewer candidates, but the ones they do send are stronger.

Yeah that's never going to happen - javascript is a lost cause. There's no way any sort of conflict and backwards compitability will lose out to "a bit more privacy" especially when people in control benefit immensely from this.
Not a lawyer either, but the fair use doctrine isn't exactly airtight to begin with.
IANAL but i suspect the slave thing would be void but otherwise the license would still stand. Otherwise people could bury ridiculous clauses in licenses to trick people into not really having a license.

This is fantastic. You're essentially using an LLM as a function call, passing in the HTML alone! I'll still probably use something like Puppeteer, or Bright Data (if needing low-code/no-code templates) for dynamic content, but for everything else this is a revelation, as a concept. The token limitation is a bother (and 32k context GPT-4 is going to be expensive) but manageable. Will definitely be exploring this option myself. Thanks!
The problem is, you can't tell a priori what the impact will be. It could be positive. It certainly could free funds for future positive changes.

I thought the 8.0.0 was justified by dropping support for platforms without 64-bit integer types?

Dropping support for a group of platforms is definitely something I'd consider a breaking change.
A Petals dev here. We say up front that "Single-batch inference runs at ≈ 1 sec per step (token)".

In turn, "parallel inference" refers to the high-throughput scenario when you generate multiple sequences in parallel. This is useful when you process some large dataset with LLM (e.g. run inference with batch size of 200) or run a beam search with a large beam width. In this case, you can actually get the speed of hundreds of tokens per sec, see our benchmarks for parallel forward passes: https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals#benchmarks

If you have another wording in mind that is more up front, please let us know, we'd be happy to improve the project description. Petals is a non-commercial research project, and we don't want to oversell anything.

One take on psychedelics I find intriguing is that instead of providing actual deep insights, they simulate it. While you are high, everything just seems profound and mystical, but there is really nothing there, it is an artifact of the distorted brain chemistry.

I find this makes sense because in my experience, people that regularly take psychedelics do not seem wiser or more insightful to me than people who don't. There is probably some way in which they boost creativity by making thought processes less rigid, which helps in things like music and maybe some kinds of technical innovation.

DNT is ~useless because it's opt-out, whereas "auxiliary", non-essential tracking is opt-in under GDPR.

Websites don't need cookie consent dialogs if they only use cookies to do things that don't need to be consented to, like providing the service they are offering. Look at Apple's website, they don't have any.
I'm not so sure about that. The GPL does spell out the rights for end users pretty clearly, but the terms being violated apply between the copyright holder and the company violating the terms. Violating "you can use this code with these conditions" means you can't use the code (and may need to pay damages to the people you've stolen the code from), not that you're necessarily forced to apply those conditions.

IANAL but I think you need to the a copyright holder to effectively enforce these terms through the court.

If you violate a contract with your employer and don't deliver a product in time, I don't think the customers can sue you. Instead, as far as I know, the customers will sue the company and the company will sue you to cover the costs.
This is worse because you can filter out low quality spam much faster than LLM generated spam.

I feel your pain... heaps of credit card debt but was making a very good salary and my company cut my pay and only gave me a month's notice, so I've spent 2 years essentially playing catch up now to pay off my credit cards instead of the 6 months it would've taken.

I didn't get a choice though I didn't sign anything either. It just happened. So now I just show up and do my job. Nothing more, nothing less, no overtime, I don't volunteer for any additional projects. Very cut and dry. After 10 years of working for the same company and that's the thanks I get, I appreciate the fact that I'm still employed. And that is all I need to be.

You may be stuck or just don't sign.
Ahh but that would trigger a downgrade by analysts as the return on equity for the bank would reduce - at the top price companies do buybacks of the shares they issued at low prices ...

I dont want to come over as a socialist, but if your country has a bank with your national reputation riding on it, it should probably be part nationalised anyway - maybe someone could design a hybrid bond/equity/warrant/option for the state to hold with their half. If a corporation is borrowing your name and reputation you deserve to get paid for it (in non trickle down hiring and taxes $$'s).

In hindsight, it seems that Google Reader could have offered a continuing alternative to social media.

My problem is that we're trying to hire for a very niche position, where we get maybe 3-4 candidates A YEAR. So we don't really have the comfort of waiting a bit longer to interview those 30 candidates - we have to look at whether the people that come in could maybe work in the position we have.

The way it works is that the ISP assigns the home user's router a prefix (e.g. 64 bits). Devices on the home network pick a random address within that prefix, and regenerate it periodically, keeping the old address alive for a while too.

Only the router needs an IPv6-to-MAC-address map (it always needed that, this was no different with IPv4). The ISP just has a static route that sends all traffic matching the prefix to the router.

With this you can still easily recognize households by IPv6 prefix, but at least you cannot reliably distinguish devices within that household.

Places with bad weather definitely have homeless populations. In the larger view, look at Chicago and New York City.

In the smaller view, look at pretty much any mid-size hub town in the Midwest, or Indiana at least. All of them I've lived in have shelters (the smaller towns usually don't). Food pantries of different sorts are fairly common too, even in small towns. A fair number of these are run by churches who have a mixed track record of how they treat folks staying there (turning away queer folks, forced work or taking possessions, etc).

It isn't like anywhere actually has year-round beautiful weather - not the sort that makes you eschew housing. Some places you just don't have to worry about freezing to death most nights.
