If we work together, I think it would be realistic for us to attain a rollback of most recent one or two copyright term extensions by following a two-pronged strategy:

(1) Show politicians on the left how copyright term extensions have largely amounted to a transfer of wealth from the public to large corporations, and

(2) Show politicians on the right how rolling back to an earlier version of copyright would reduce the interference of the government in the lives of its citizens and return to a vision for IP that better adheres to that presented by the Constitution and defended by its framers, while leading to a more vibrant and competitive market for new works.

Meanwhile, both groups should be assured that a release of many classic works into the public domain would be popular among the vast majority of their constituents.

Who's in?
I'm sorry, but does the US play by fair or by the same rules? And who checks the US?
agile is one of those things where if you have to say it, your probably not.
I don't understand why anyone is seriously expecting "GPT" to write code? Writing code is really analogous to proving theorems (the Curry-Howard correspondence). IIUC that is not what the GPT "language model" was ever designed for.
On the flip side, recent strikes in France received more coverage in mainstream UK press than the recent strikes in the UK!

Dont be shitty to people and listen to their voice are thing that any group of children playing may come up with them selves.

Those same children will copy each other and build on ideas each other have.

Thi child who demands no one can play a game or any derivative because they came up with it first, well, they are just not very nice.
sounds more like "do as i say not do as i do"
I've been wallet free for some years now. Even the driver's license has become an app here in Norway (optional, you still get the physical one).

The big downside is that my wallet and everything in it can run out of battery. That's not very redundant. Suddenly I won't be able to pay, identify, call, etc.
Multi-arch builds are easy to "transfer" IMHO

We can think of the self as the result of interaction between subcortical systems for regulating the global brain state and largely cortical systems for representing the current body state and autobiography. The personal pronoun system is at the interface between the cortical and subcortical systems. By constructing a network model for the pronoun system that is grounded in basic machinery for social interaction we show how the pronoun system allows speakers to achieve self-reference and how this capacity engenders the illusion of a unified self. The same model allows us to see that there is no essential difference between reliving incidents from one’s own past and giving life to imaginary characters in ritual and in literary works. Such imaginative experience may play a role in maintaining the coherence of the self through different emotions.
With the right clay, you can make anything.

I’ve been actively using it and it’s become my go-to in a lot of cases - Google is more for verification when I smell something off or if it doesn’t have up to date information. Here are some examples:

• reviewing contract changes, explaining hard to parse legalese

• advice on accounting/tax when billing international clients

• visa application

• boilerplate django code

• learnt all about smtp relays, and requirements for keeping a good reputation for your IPs

• travel itinerary

• domain specific questions (which were 50/50 correct at best…)

• general troubleshooting

I’m using it as a second brain. I can quickly double check some assumptions, get a clear overview of a given topic and then direction on where I need to delve deeper.

Anyone who still thinks that this is “just a statistical model” doesn’t get it. Sure, it’s not sentient or intelligent, but it sure as hell making my life easier. I won’t be going back to the way I used to do things.

Wings and landing gear are quite heavy. But flying from airport to airport brings some operational flexibilities. It's good that someone's checking this approach. Starting from fast operations and low capability is an alternative to all the others that start from high capability but slow operations...
Alignment and information sharing should happen through collaboration, PR review, and PoCs. You don't need these "planning" meetings.

Very interesting figures. Crazy that the US increased by 10% and China by 20% in a year (and during covid) - but there is still a large gap between the figures. In a decade they may converge, but not yet.

I heard error count is proportional to LoC + # of developers involved in writing it. So as well as the accidental complexity from LoC, the more people touch a code base, the greater the chance of broken communication and misunderstandings. Ie bugs.
I just wanna toot a horn for good old prince2 here. I know it's not the cool new thing on the bloc but I would prefer it for stuff like infrastructure or organizational change projects any day.

If you want to get an impression check out this doc about a prince2 project initiation document: https://prince2.wiki/management-products/project-initiation-...

In case it comes accross a little bit to advertisy: I am not affiliated with the prince2 publisher. Just someone who suffered through a lot of unnecessary agile, has been working in a prince2 org for two years now and really likes it.
The goal is not to apply the rules of the time, but to give them an excuse for when the occasion of banning a customer that annoy them rises.
Most of the time, self-hosting sites focus on installing the tools, but most of an admin's time is not the initial setup, it's the long-term maintenance, the updates, the fixes when something doesn't work as expected, the disk full, the disk failure, ... and most of the time I find that those nice websites don't help enough. How will you deal with your self-hosted service when your friends or family rely on it and it is down for an obscure reason on an obscure component you never heard of?

I think part of the issue is that your mileage will vary greatly depending on what your problem domain and language of choice is. People working with languages and problems chatgpt works well in have a hard time believing the hard fails in other domains and vice versa. I wrote a python script the other day to delete some old xcode devices lower than a certain ios version complete witth options with a just a few back and forths with chatGPT. My knowledge of python is extremely basic and the code just worked out of the box. Then yesterday I asked for the code to tell if a device is lidar enabled in Objective-C and it failed to give me compilable code 4 times in a row until I finally gave up and went back to the docs. The correct answer is one line. I for one am pretty excited about this, things that a lot of people have done before should be easy, leaves more brain space for the tough stuff.

Here is the new tech obelisk. Come on, time to worship. Look, the tech influencers are building apps with the GimP-Tech-Four. You have to feed data to the obelisk, come on, it won't hurt.
Agreed! This issue sounds like a case of a bad machine. I have about 50 tabs open in Chrome on my Mac Studio and have consistently had far too many open for over six months without issue.
> I don't think it's actually reasoning about things at all, just providing a statistically plausible response to prompts.

It turns out that humanity’s problem might not be that AIs can think but rather that humans believe that AIs can think. One might even go so far as to say there’s a real danger that we hallucinate that AIs can think, to our detriment.
I am skeptical this guy did a correct evaluation. I would like to see someone replicating this.

If anything the banking crisis is more of a repeat of 1973 than 2008.
I don't think they were asking for advice.

The way dosco189 is using GPT is perfectly fine. They aren't letting GPT do all the work for them, they're letting it explain how concepts relate to each other, something you often will not find in the documentation.
There is some evidence:

- Governemtn forecast 4% lower GDP than without Brexit

- UK car industry significant decline in output since 2015 (around 30% IIRC)

- People who immigrated here for work (and have the right to stay) are choosing to leave

- Low investment compared to comparable regions / countries

- Turmoil around NI

- Banking migrating to Europe and New York in particular

- Trade deals not materialising

It’s not what “project fear” warned us of, but it’s certainly not good. Many of these effects are playing out across years so haven’t really hit home for people yet.
Usually I need to upgrade something within a wine environment, and sometimes the new version of whatever software doesn't work, so "cp -r .wine .wine-bak", do whatever, fail, rm, cp back, and it's done.
No, it says you can have processes but that individuals and interactions are more important. It does not say that you can't have processes.
> Agile is clearly defined in the Agile Manifesto.

Vague principles for Agile are laid out in the Manifesto, and slightly less vague in the Principles. But honestly, clear definition isn’t really something that the Agile prime movers did (the best ideas for operationalizing Agile principles, IMO, were in the Lean Software movement, but unfortunately “Agile” instead ended up getting associated – and I think the lack of operationalization of the principles in the core documents contributed to this – with rote application of one of a handful of methodologies some of the founders were associated with, which eventually settled mostly on Scrum, and then on not even Scrum-by-the-Scrum-Guide but a weird set of particular tools and things that had accreted around Scrum, each of which is useful in the right context, but they’ve become this giant consultant-reinforced cargo-cult mass of rituals divorced from their purpose in exactly the way of the ossified practices that the Agile movement was a reaction against.)
Funny that you say this, because people that are pushing polarization have picked public broadcasting exactly as one of their main targets in Germany (calling it fake news paid by the government) trying to defund it. In Germany public broadcasters for the first time have a budget of that passed 10 billion EUR.
I haven't had any issues on my Mac Studio with VS Code, Chrome, or any other apps. Has your machine always behaved that way? Could it be something you installed that isn't playing nicely with VS Code?

So, without any information, you assume that _every_ plugin ever put out is there, rather than the ones that were publicly published, and go on and build your very own strawman. No possibility of the being internal testing tracks, or of having no testing tracks and OpenAI just telling you to handle it on your own for testing (by not publishing it, for example)
It actually worries me what's going to happen to tools like GPT when it starts being influenced by commercial interests and manipulating people. What's going to happen when a sports drink manufacturer pays GPT to never ever ever mention water when people are asking about dehydration, but instead to pitch the sports drink? Are we gonna block all kinds of knowledge just because it interferes with some corporation making a profit? What happens when GPT starts promoting a political candidate or demoting another? Who controls which candidates GPT prefers?
What are we doing to protect GPT from this kind of outcome?
Well this approach brings us also modern medicine, so we are not dying in the pool of mud from every trivially treatable malaise. We break atoms, we can almost reach the stars which is probably the only long term way to preserve mankind.

You can't have one without the other. Look at any society in history, either push forward or eventual downfall and ending up as small history lesson. Some say its human nature, some say its nature's nature.
It would absolutely be worth the investment to put 99% of attendees' phones in normal boring lockers, to spend an hour with _one phone_ belonging to a high-value target attending such an event.

No way to prove that happened here, but it's the sort of thing that any crook worth their salt would be spinning up a fake phone-locker business for. "We'll provide phone lockers for your event" would get you a lot of boring-but-profitable gigs, and the occasional chance of a lifetime.
Include phones to this list of general compute devices. The 2–3 year support of Android phones is a joke, but increasing it to 5 years is just a kick of the can rather than a solution. When an OEM’s support ends, firmware should be required to be open sourced so the devices can live on for other purposes instead of being a paperweight or e-waste.
There have, of course, already been coding competitions that didn't allow any sort of reference, ones that only allowed reference you brought with you, etc.

And, honestly, plenty of people do have enough memorized to do this stuff.

The West does not want any opponents. Of course they don't. The 'communists', 'not a democracy' angles are just for public consumption.

The rules are set by the dominant power. So when they complain about China not playing fair or by the rules what they really mean is that they don't like that a country becomes strong enough to set their own rules according to their own interests
Which one is "shooting ourselves in the foot"? Pumping more nitrogen fertilizer in the environment or cutting it?

I think it depends who is "we" and what's the timeline for shooting ourselves in the foot, short term or long term.

In both cases it sucks. I have a preference for the better long term strategy, at least I don't have the impression or driving into a wall (or I feel like we trying to swerve/break).

Some day it's hard not to feel overwhelmed, looking at the global prospective. Keeping our planet habitable will require us to:
* Sacrifice individual benefit for the common good
* Trust each other
* Think long term (like multiple generations)

All things humanity has a horrible track record at.

That does not put me in an optimistic mood.

On the up side, if we kill everything including ourselves maybe in millions of years the next intelligent race will find remnants of our apocalypse and learn from it? =)
How management in corporations now use that word has almost nothing to do with what it is supposed to (OODA Loop).

How is IPFS better than torrents for changing files, considering that it uses content-based addressing?
I don't see the stagnation.

GCP is by far my preferred cloud. I don't see their competition meeting them on UX, reliability, or performance. They have been investing a lot in enterprise oriented features.

Their AI portfolio has been growing. I was surprised recently by how good the OCR on handwritten text is. Their OpenAI like APIs are already being rolled out.

That being said, I'm also impressed by Microsoft. Of the 3 big players, AWS seems to be the closest to stagnation. What was the last exciting thing they did?
Page builders are only seen as bad ideas when you have better ideas to choose from. In most cases, hiring a professional is not a viable alternative to doing it yourself.

And since none of the problems presented here are new or unique to sites built with page builders, it follows that the others ideas don’t actually solves them.
100% this. It's also game changing for learning a new language (of any type, not just programming), any of the boring parts of software engineering like most programming tasks (it's like a personal intern -- sure you have to check their work and the quality is all over the place but still, dang I love it), and even a bit of therapy.

At worst/minimum, It's the ultimate rubber duck.

(To be clear, I'm exclusively using gpt-4)
“X over Y” does not mean “X instead of Y”, it means “Y serves X rather than vice versa”.

That doesn’t mean no processes and tools, you need to have those. It means the processes and tools aren’t canned processes and tools imposed on the team, it means they serve the team and the way they work, are owned by the team, and that the team is free to adjust them according to its developing understanding of its needs. (And, ideally, that the team is frequently checking in and evaluating whether and how it should be changing them.)
Not so fast!

Yes, the GPT-4 paper says

> GPT-4 generally lacks knowledge of events that have occurred after the vast majority of its pre-training data cuts off in September 2021 [footnote: The pre-training and post-training data contain a small amount of more recent data], and does not learn from its experience.

But note the more recent data. We know that InstructGPT (GPT-3.5) was RL trained on examples of previous queries to GPT3, such as those trick questions. We could assume everything (after filtering e.g. for benchmark contamination) ever sent to OpenAI is in that post-training set. This is indeed a very small amount of data compared to the trillion-plus tokens of older data it was surely trained on. We also know that when ARC did their evaluations of GPT-4, OpenAI hadn't finished fine-tuning yet, so they've certainly been continuing to do so recently.

I think we all need a break from "hype" cycles in general. Its become pervasive in every space, and IMO it correlates with how we consume and receive "information". News/posts on this subject have felt unique in how much attention it's gotten, I feel like a lot of it comes from lack of understanding about the technology from many posts especially those from "mainstream" media outlets with limited tech knowledge in general. The news cycle has absolutely turned "AI" into a marketing buzzword and feels hyperfocused on the negative.
I'd say do a bit more research if your interested, no need to interact with it if you don't want to. My feeling on LLMs in general is relative to their use cases. LLM's are powerful tools for which can be useful/helpful and unfortunately can and will be leveraged in the opposite way. That said, what new tech advancement which has had a tenable and rapid influence on society hasn't had its speculative doom cycle. It will be a part of our lives, and in some ways has been for longer than many realize, I'm trying to educate myself more as well, there is definitely way too much bs to filter as is.
After reading The Cass Against Education from Bryan Caplan I became very skeptical of the benefits that society seem to associate with education. Studies like these make me feel this skepticism is indeed the correct approach.

Yes, I'm sure about that. Let's take a famous example, Dresden[1]: after the bombings, most industry was still standing (though not operating), 50+% of living quarters were left, 70% of retail was still operating; rudimentary civilian rail operations were resumed after two weeks, military rail operation resumed within days.

And while some areas were partially destroyed, once you move into the suburbs not to mention the rural areas, everything was left standing. And even where there was rubble, under the rubble were roads and within the rubble were bricks.

They may have tried to bomb Germany back to the stone age, but they couldn't; from what was recently posted here, they probably realized this, but they did try to bomb the population into submission[2], which also didn't work, it's just a war crime.

Millions of Germans did not die of starvation after the war, though hundreds of thousands died of starvation and exposure in 1946/47, which was the harshest winter of the 20th century. I'm not sure how that jives with your whole free market thing; but like I said, Germany in the fifties wasn't the libertarian utopia you make it out to be, so that's probably why people died.

Edit: Let me hasten to add that I don't want to minimize the impact bombing campaigns have on cities and countries. Tens of thousands of people died in Dresden. We still dig out unexploded ordnance where I live, 80 years after the fact. I'm just saying that a lot of infrastructure remained. Germany after the war probably had more infrastructure left standing than Laos did before the war.

I don't understand the outrage here. It sounds like a clear case of copyright infringement with IA profiting from the works of others. Can someone explain the issue?
Come on, this was explained like milion times: you cannot own private property (factory, land, buildings, means of production), but you can own your personal property just fine. Why do leftist use such confusing terminology? I don't know. We should ask Free Software Foundation.

Most importantly here, information falls under "means of production", so under communism it should be free.

Freedom of information under capitalism is (as everything) a discussion about money.

I admire your optimism, regarding the copyrights future. Fingers crossed.
