I largely agree with you, but I think there is one question that hasn't been addressed yet: Are the weights learned by an LLM a derivative work?

When a person learns from GPL code this question doesn't arise. The state of a person's brain is outside of copyright. But is the state of an LLM also outside of copyright or outside of the terms covered by the GPL? I'm not sure.

An LLM can not only emit source code derived from code published under the GPL, it can also potentially execute a program and could therefore be considered object code.

This isn't necessarily a problem as long as the model isn't distributed and does not include any AGPL code.
Can I force my telco to upgrade to fiber because it is a waste of carbon for my computer to be switched on for hours downloading content over ADSL?

I have two ADSL connections that can download at 20 Mbits/s with a load balancer.

With my XBOX ONE I don't really have a choice of physical media, even if I have physical media I'd expect to download between 2-40 GB of patches or additional content. It is definitely a hassle but not prohibitive, generally I install a game before I expect to play it and keep up on downloads ahead of time.

For PC games it is similar except most of the games I play I get off Steam I don't even know if physical media is available at all.
quality is expensive. if not even apple can afford it, what can we expect from the rest?
Another approach is to say "A subscription is $100/month. But, if you like, you can buy another subscription, and then you'll get double the speed."

And as the network gets more congested, then speeds drop, and more and more people are pushed to buying the double speed upgrade, and eventually the triple speed upgrade, etc.

This approach is effectively a real time market for bandwidth in disguise.
It's like everyone here is a lawyer nitpicking the license as it exists today. But absolutely before the licenses existed Open Source was about those principles, to share code, to share bug fixes, to publish any improvements. So everyone would get better. To say the 'license' doesn't make this explicit it really missing the point.
There’s a non-zero chance Russia pulls a Crimea and needs to defend Russian speakers in some remote region of Hokkaido, or starts seizing Japanese waters as their own. And that’s ignoring the islands Japan claims but Russia has controlled for decades.

This also sets a precedent for other neighbors. Korea claims random islands and politicians sometimes call for extreme actions to defend them from Japan (Japan does absolutely nothing and Japanese people, for the most part, do not know of the existence of these islands). China claims random islands that Japan controls with some of the more extreme factions saying Okinawa in its entirety isn’t legitimately Japanese, so it should be independent. But also Okinawa used to be somewhat subservient to China, so eventually independence would mean being a province of China, just like Russia is claiming with eastern Ukraine (or even all of Ukraine, depending on the day).

And there’s also Taiwan, which if China sees people get burnt out with the Ukraine war and go back to normal trade in a year, gives them pretty good odds to rain down missiles then rush in and seize the land with minimum international backfire. And if Taiwan is easily claimed, there’s no reason not to pursue Okinawa and South China Sea territories. And South Sea conflicts would screw over Japan as well, since there’s loads of trade with Vietnam and other countries in the region, and Japan is heavily dependent on food imports from China and elsewhere.

Japan has a lot of reasons to care. If Russia’s strategy pays off (and it’s unfortunately seeming like it will, since people outside of the region are getting burnt out on it and Russian mothers will happily fight until their last son is getting picked apart by dogs), those same methods will be used in East Asia.

We've had a similar constraint issue on getUserMedia where it will return the lowest possible resolution for video by default instead of something more pedestrian. Setting exact constraints never seems to work correctly either. Ideal gets closer.

It took us over a year to realize this was the root cause for 2D barcode scanning issues - we had an information-theoretic failure mode due to the low resolution.

Nevermind then.

Humans, you know, are also "trained" as they grow up. And the new generations, growing up much more exposed to the AI-generated media from the earliest ages, may as well end up finding AI porn just as — if not more — sexy as human-produced porn. That too is a speculation, yes, but considering the whole history of humanity full of vast shifts in cultural and aesthetic norms, it's a very mild speculation.

There is no question there is broad support for senseless violence, as evidenced by the video. But I know my friend for example, and he considers Putin and his enablers to be fascists. But of course there are also many people privately against this while publically showing support.

The point of my post was that it is not enough to help anti-Putin (and by that I mean anti-current-power-system-of-russia) leave Russia. They are as much victims here as Ukrainians who fled the war, but are sometimes treated badly.
> but it will not replace or reflect the nuances of a human relationship.

This sounds like a boring mysticism but I fully believe this is the case - AI generated data looks like a machine-readable schema file to me, all format but no data. Compared to that, human output is corrupted media file; huge mess, of cohesive intents.

AI data looks good and fine if you don’t know what data is supposed to be in it, but only if you aren’t the supposed consumer of it.

The Winter War is a bad comparison. Finland didn't have massive international blocks backing it, nor did the Soviets. NATO -- 30, soon to be 31 countries -- are backing UKR, while India, China, Iran, and a few others are backing Russia to varying degrees.

The real comparison is probably closer to Iraq-Iran in the 1980's. Iraq launches a huge mechanized offensive, gets into Iran, runs out of steam, and slowly gets pushed back, at high cost for both sides. It gets ugly, fast, and kills a whole bunch of people. It goes in for ~8 years before it eventually just peters out, and lasts that long because of international support for each side: Iraq had the US and similar 1st worlders; Iran had the USSR and COMBLOC.

On one hand, this essay feels like a whole lot of "cope," but if we roll with the author's definition, I think that what people are (feeling/not feeling) is that all of our entertainment is deeply unsexy, even when it's trying to be.

E.g.the whole superhero thing. Good looking strong people, and nothing remotely "sexy" related comes up until She-Hulk, and then people hate it. It's wild to me how ostensibly straight dudes got confronted with a little booty-shaking in their superhero story and they were all like "ewwww."
I don't think events related to what happened in Iraq has any relevance to Japan's view of international relations, or any other democratic society.

The question was about if Japan has any reasons to feel threatened by what happened in Ukraine. My reason is, any democratic society should be, which is not hard to imagine.

The question of "who is more saint" does not have any strategical significance and is clear reflection of russian propaganda. Obviously, nobody is saint. That doesn't make what happened in Bucha less shocking.

I agree, but I'll agree more when there's a larger aftermarket for mainboards.

Frameworks are my latest "coolest thing I'll never buy". I love their Chromebook offering. I'm thrilled that they have AMD boards now. I can't wait to see what kind of stuff is going to be built out of the parts people replace as they upgrade. It's been amazing watching them continue to develop their products and grow in spite of global challenges.

But I'll probably never buy one because the MacBook Air and Gram are cheaper and more powerful, and my Chromebooks do everything I need for less than $200. I also don't think I really need project laptop newer than a T-series.

But man, I'd snatch up a second hand unit for $750 in a heartbeat.
> India has begun programmes in every front to dispose of Russian military tech

I've been wondering about that. I imagined that countries buying weapons from Russia would be worried and considering to pivot to another seller. Maybe this not because of the poor display of those weapons in combat, after all they just must be not worse than the weapons of the neighbors or of the other internal factions, but because they could run out of spare parts and new items. If Russia doesn't have enough weapons to refill its own losses, it can sell some to get money, but not as much as one year ago.

I don't think that China is an option for India, so maybe the USA, something from Europe or internal production. The latter would be best because of no strings attached, but is it feasible in the short / medium term?
Or bury the cables.
Very exaggerated imo.. but tbh, reread what the author wants for his kid. Even if he has to do that, it will be so much learning experience ... and also so satisfying when you figured this config thing and that issue out.

So even if exaggerated, I think your post is an argument and not a counterpoint wrt to the intended purpose. ;)
actions speak louder than words. by that logic you can never declare anyone anything.
I always assumed the key word here was “indoor,” and not “vertical.” Indoors is a place where it is much, much, easier to automate and control growing conditions. Both could add up to faster better cheaper. Given how amazingly huge; dense; and performant logistics has gotten, I can’t imagine the real estate angle is moving the needle very much.
Suppose someone switches from Windows to Ubuntu, and then Ubuntu goes full adware and becomes awful. Switching from Ubuntu to a different distro will be a hundred times easier than moving away from Windows was - all their software will work, config files for the apps they use will work etc.

Interesting! A few years ago I started a similar project, essentially a clearnet fork of Tor called Aegis. Problem was, it makes a lot of the modern web very broken. A very niche corner of the web browser market - but a lot of things like WebRTC and Widevine (unfortunately) are what most users would expect. I'd imagine there's the possibility there will be no H264 support either?

Nice to see more Firefox related forks though, hopefully help gain more ground on the web for alternative engines.
take a look at @lionnetpiere on Twitter. he's done extensive analyses on the launch costs and revenue from service. most other estimates leave out big parts of the costs, so he's going the most accurate I've seen.
True, but I think constraints are essential for creativity.

Whether it's artistic or scientific .. maybe it can feel a bit academic when we have so much memory and processing power available, but I personally think it really makes a difference.
I mean, if the kid has access to the internet he's probably going to end up exposed to stuff anyway.

I had unfiltered access to the internet when I was a kid in the late 90's and early 00's and I grew up fine.
In general, I much prefer Safari to other browsers (though Firefox is generally quite good too). However, I've been bitten by what appears to be a WebKit bug in the latest update: using -webkit-mask-box-image to mask a div with an SVG shape no longer seems to respect the other sub-settings for that property, resulting in the mask being, at least for my use case, repeated 4 times within the space that it is supposed to show once.

I'm still investigating whether this is something that's actually changed with the not-exactly-spec for this WebKit-specific CSS property, but given the behavior I've already observed when trying to debug it, it certainly seems like a regression.
Yeah I mean that’s basically the exact point of the example.
For media consumption (aside from games) I can see that happening, but with the sheer amount of _work_ that gets done on laptops and desktop I can't see them disappearing, or really even dwindling.

Good video.

I have been using brave for a long time, and the only places where crypto is mentioned is in the new tab window. You have to opt in to add replacement.
It wasn't until 2018(?) that they removed the old system for real. And back then they promised to replace all lost functionality with proper designed APIs, to make all add-ons workable. Never happened beside some low hanging improvements.

But the problems with extensions started far earlier. It was a common joke how every bigger update broke many popular extensions, made some of them even impossible. In the early days of Firefox, extensions very growing wild and rich. But over time so many were dying a slow death. At the end of the early days (around Firefox 3 or 4), mostly nothing was left, and Firefox was already significant crippled in ability. The later removal of XUL only gave it the last hit.

Today it's basically a handful of popular extensions who keep this feature alive, and most of them are just Adblockers.
Wow! I was primed to complain that the video would omit or simplify some crucial detail but not this one. Very detailed, up to date, and no handwaving.
> the latest IPCC Synthesis Report.

As an art project, this is fascinating, but seeing this report is concerning to me in a different way.

Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but performing a text search of either the executive summary, or the longer (not the unavailable full report) doesn't even mention the word nuclear once, but wind/solar/fossil-fuels all appear dozens of times. To me this is absolutely pants-on-head bonkers as nuclear is the key to the future regardless of whether or not you're fearful of climate change. At the very least, there's some serious people out there who strongly advocate nuclear as a solution to climate change and you'd think this merits a mention at the least, even if just to refute this as a potential avenue for research.

The only mention of nuclear that I can see appears in one chart of potential impacts of mitigation efforts by 2030 where nuclear is ranked low. But given the capital investment required for nuclear power and the deliberate recent unwinding of nuclear power plants by certain anti-nuclear groups, this timeframe seems designed to give a particular answer.

I am concerned that the handful of well-intentioned legislators out there that might actually try and read this kind of report are having impactful information and arguments hidden from them by ideologues and lobbyists.
Quite possible.

But, barring any information, my default assumption is now that it's name-dropping.
There's a lot in Solaris (at least in the 1976 movie and the book). In almost all sci-fi which contains aliens, they're easily comprehend-able by humans - they have motivations we can describe in our own language, a physical form that while strange is likely a mashup of earth creature characteristics (after all that's where our vocabulary comes from). Solaris asks what it might be like if this isn't the case, and where the limits of our comprehension are.
