>is of so flimsy quality, that a LLM model can be a productivity improvement!

Who said the research was of flimsy quality?

Who said that the discoveries (as opposed to the BS padding journals require) was what LLM was used for?

They might or might not be. But not because he used an LLM to "polish them".
Likely zero.
Can they even license those works to train a model?

And if they can, then everyone can. I can buy the rights to a single photograph of Darth Vader and create an entire series TV about his life using AI.

I wouldn't take this at face value. Modern OSes are great at managing RAM, which means RAM only gets cleared as needed. A lot of that 27 GB can likely be cleared, but the OS finds that there isn't any reason to.

With a company as large as Apple, and a product with such high volumes, wouldn't this simply present arbitrage opportunities which would smooth out the costs again anyway?
I disagree harshly with the parent, but I think your point of view is much more damaging. The artists don't need to exhibit any of these dramatic subversive attitudes, personality flaws, or political psychology plays to simply shoehorn booty-shaking into their superhero show (Occam's razor). I think your layering-on of all these other horrible things is actually indicative of a much more hateful attitude than the one you are accusing them of.

I get that he was fired for other reasons but his method is a plague and should be worrying for everyone. When I wrote my latest paper more than half of the published papers I found through research hubs were so subpar that I would've failed my students if they submitted it in one of the regular assignments. Anything can be published. Add some ChatGPT so it sounds convincing and the practice of citing your colleagues to up the stats and it will be near impossible to sort decent science from junk without spending all your time on reading papers instead of doing actual research.

I would say the use of trained data is "giving back" to all users of Copilot?

The only thing that has to be considered is if the pricing is fair, and with all the competition in the space will be soon, or may already be below cost.

Also in my opinion, not using open-source for programming aids is less freedom (libre)--without getting into specifics of compatibility of doing so with individual licenses.

> Ukraine may win... after 5+ years of brutal war and heavy destruction. Is that better than a life back under Moscow's rule?

Considering the treatment they experienced in occupied cities - yes, it might be. Being under Moscow's rule won't be an occupation like Eastern Europe had under USSR, but a brutal regime made the extinguish the concept of "Ukrainians". Putin is clearly signaling that.

I credited the Apple developers with doing a good job in the blog. The point is Apple's policies end up turning what should be a routine bug fix in to a total nightmare.

I've filed dozens of issues with Apple and many of them go in to great detail. However when you're pushed for time and dealing with multiple potential emergencies, you can't always manage much more than a "heads up, this looks wrong" type issue. In the case of the first bug, it was indeed a real problem with Safari and it was Apple's responsibility to fix it. Given that Apple are a trillion-dollar company with thousands of employees, and we have a handful of people in an office in south-west London, I think it's reasonable that Apple does more of the heavy lifting investigating Safari issues anyway. Ultimately it's up to Apple to make Safari a high-quality browser, not us, although we still do our bit with bug reports where we can.

Tank boneyards. Thousands of tanks but many in disrepair; the US has similar.

Corruption and mixed priorities meant that most of the storage depots didn't see regular maintenance done, so vehicles that should have been "mostly workable" were basically rust-buckets. However estimates put the stockpiles at like 8000 T-72s, 10000 BMPs, etc., and even if only 1/3 of them are viable that still represents thousands of vehicles.

Logistics are another problem though. Even if only 1/3 are viable you have to ship repairs, replacement parts, and the entire vehicle across huge distances and that takes a lot of time. If there is a T-55 in a depo that's closer and it doesn't need parts -- great, get that to the front now; it'll do rear-line duty or something.

"High Quality" is also relative -- virtually all of NATO's, and Russia's, tanks are upgraded late-Cold-War models, but there is a non-trivial difference in the late-Soviet vs. post-Soviet era developments. Getting an old T-72 working might be easy enough, but getting that upgraded to the T-72B3M edition is a different story.
> Generally speaking, what is the cost differential between hanging wires and digging wires?

Orders of magnitude. I actually once worked in construction, specifically in trench digging for German Telekom.

Putting up poles is easy, drill a hole in the ground for the pole, put the pole in, string a fiber on it, done. Even cheaper if you already have poles, all you need there is a truck with a lift. Downside is, unless you own the poles, you have to rent them from the local utility and some of these charge extortion rates for third parties. And there are always drunkards or people with shoddy cars taking down entire series of poles, not to mention adverse weather events and vandals taking pot shots. Phone and electricity lines are easy to fix, you can probably train apes to do that, but splicing fiber still involves specialists.

Trench digging is a whole different beast: you need to pull permits, dig the trench, hope you don't hit something else that's buried, deal with bad soil (sometimes straight out rock) or shit like WW2 bombs, lay down your cable, bury the cable in a first layer of fine sand, place a warning band, bury and fill up that with the coarse soil you removed, restore asphalt/plaster where needed... it takes weeks and multiple dedicated crews - usually you have one crew that deals with cutting up and removing asphalt, one that deals with placing and removing anti-traffic barriers, one with doing the actual dig and backfill, one that runs the cable, and one that restores surface.

There is a third way however, it's virtually "underground poles" - earth displacement hammers. These "rockets" can shoot up to 70m through the soil in one go. Nice shit but needs the right soil to operate and it will cut through anything already buried, including solid water and wastewater mains.

> There are plenty of topics which I'm happy to not hold a strong opinion on and I'll probably spend my entire life that way.

My statement wasn't about opinions in any way. It was basically about the fact that some times an action is already an opinion in itself. You can't e.g. do business in Russia and claim that "we like to remain neutral and stay out of politics/wars (and keep our income from the business in Russia)".

You can of course just not do business in/with Russia and few would wonder whether you have any strong opinions on the conflict. This isn't about forcing anyone to have strong public opinions. It's about that you can't meaningfully separate such opinions from business (or sports, or...)
Whilst I don't disagree with your point (other than implying that I was suggesting the commenter shouldn't have said it), perhaps my reply was a little too subtle.

Ask HN: Good mailing list software for communities?
I've used gnu mailman (at university and personally) and google groups (for work), with discourse for a few communities that are all tech-oriented, but would like to know if there exist good mailing list solutions (can be paid-for) for communities (in this case, the residents association in my area).

I need to be able to manage several mailing lists, easily administrate members, and ideally see archives of all the messages shown.

Mailman: hard to use / set up (I admin'd my own instance and hated it), but if there are good paid services I'd consider this.

Google Groups: lots of chatter about it being abandonware. We use it as part of Gsuite for business but it's not amazing. I wouldn't have this as part of a domain though, so not sure how it would work.

Discourse et al.: feel more like fora which can be used for mailing lists as well, but not sure if it will give me what I need.
NATO is the organization set up by the US to look after its interests in Europe. It was Truman's goal that with a sufficiently powerful defensive alliance there would be no such attack in the first place.

> Do I want an attack against Finland to be considered an attack against the US?

Lots of people in 1939 said that they didn't want to go to war over Czechslovakia. But of course, once a dictator has successfully annexed one territory without a fight, what does he do next? Annex another one.

The US is arming the fighting in Ukraine so it does not have to fight Russia in Poland.
I completely disagree.

I'm building a business, and this business will be based on excellent software and excellent support for that software.

I will refuse to use AI.

But instead of AI users taking my job, I'm sure that refusing to use AI will become my differentiator as every AI user becomes more and more like each other.

You may think that good AI users will not become so bland, but they will. Human laziness will drive them to accept more and more of what the AI says with less and less review of it. Thus, they will output stuff that, over time, is more pure AI, becoming more like the AI and more like each other.

Having the human touch will be an advantage, not a disadvantage.
If one neighbour earns more than you, it doesn’t change your bills.

But if a large number of people in your area start earning more, and you don’t keep up, you are going to find it hard to continue living in that area because local prices will reflect the increased wealth. And if you rent you’ll likely be unable to afford the rent rises that are sparked by the increased desirability of the area.

That’s my best guess at what GP meant.

> Which came first, copyright or the printing press? Was the printing press banned because of copyright?

I feel like you’re making the same argument as me, with the same rhetoric, but a different example. No, I do not think the printing press, paint, or generative tools are bannable by copyright. I do think all 3 could be used to produce a work that is in violation of copyright. And no, I don’t think a novel work produced by any of them are in violation of copyright.
> Verbal contracts can be binding.

Furthermore, contracts can be implied. IANAL, and I can't quote the UK case, but IIRC correctly it boils to whether there was "an intent to create legal relationships". The case involved a lottery pool in which the pool won. There was one named winner, and he decided not to pay out the winnings to the other participants. The other participants sued to obtain their share of the payout, naturally. They won the case because although no verbal agreement was made, there was an implied legal contract.
It seems to be more than that:

Can you provide some examples of aspects of your work that you're concerned about?
The key distinction I'm interested in is providing the GitHub (or any similar product) "Service" vs selling a separate, derived product (Copilot / ChatGPT).

A: Common ToS to say that a product's owner obtains a license to user content for purposes of providing that user the product service.

B: Somewhat common ToS to extend that to providing the product service to third party users (i.e. use your content for other users of the service), but depends on business model (e.g. most social* businesses).

C: A lot less common ToS to obtain a right to distribute user content in derived products.

A number of sites have gotten into hot water with their userbase over trying to update their ToS from B to C. From memory... Adobe Cloud, DeviantArt, maybe some others?

Typically this gets flak in creative communities, given that it is many people's business, and they're more concerned about distribution rights than your average coder.

At its base, OpenAI/Microsoft/etc. will eventually run into the exact same issues that bedeviled the Linux kernel in the 1990s, except with a much thornier IP ownership question (given the greater number of parties).
So how do suggest responding to someone when they're pissing you off?

Then now add the scenario where it's probably socially unacceptable to interact with other people's kids
>I think it's highly loaded to phrase this as NATO expansion. It sounds like NATO somehow coerced these countries into joining, or annexed them somehow.

That's not where I would put the emphasis. Though there was some courting, the anti-Russian sentiment in these countries was genuine.

Russia shares its borders with 14 other nations. What happened is that, one by one, many of these joined, or became partner to, an alliance which views Russia as something to be contained. Russian leaders may not have been worried at first, but that changed later.
Compression with extra steps is still compression. Most people don't understand the math involved in LZF-encoding, and lossy audio encoding seems even more strange, so "diffusion" just sounds like a somewhat-lossier form of compression if described in a certain way.

I was very dismissive of the anti-AI-image crowd until I saw that Anne Graham Lotz pic. Only a single known source image of her exists, although many copies of it are distributed far and wide across the internet, and using her name in a prompt results in an image that seems very much like a lossy reproduction of the "original." It's an edge case, to be sure, but that demonstration looks like lossy compression, even though it's not.
> Do I correctly understand that it does not have a mechanism by which to connect to Mullvad, much less mandate it?

No. It comes with their extension with contents to the VPN via socks5.
If I remember correctly from when I installed Windows 11, none of those ads get put in the Start menu if you upgrade from Windows 10. They didn't want to scare off the users who actually had an easily accessible choice to downgrade. Installing a new copy of Windows 11 on a machine that didn't have anything on it previously was what resulted in ads being put in the start menu for me.
I have no idea what that is, and I hope I'm not passively taking a position in that dispute due to my business involvements (of which are none).

I'm not arguing that everyone have an opinion on everything. I'm arguing that when you do business, you might be taking a side in something whether you would like to or not.
Depends on the deadline
> And maybe NATO needs a provisional membership process that allows a country to be temporarily considered an ally via a much quicker path so that while it gains full membership it cannot be invaded.

When people mistake a feature for a bug.
You're assuming they are going to do as thorough of a job auditing as they'd do on their own writing. I doubt that's what will happen when the point of the AI is to spew content out faster.
Not necessarily under moral rights.

Moral rights are... at best a mess. They can be very wide, very up to interpretation and vary depending on the country. They're essentially meant as the ultimate stop button for an artist if their works get used in a way the artist deeply disapproves of[0]. Actual interpretation can vary a lot and cloning an artists style as specifically as SD allows you to do (with "...in the style of X" prompts) could easily be an easy moral rights argument in most jurisdictions, doubly so if economic exploitation is a component. (Which a lot of the hype surrounding SD et al. is also build on.)

For this reason they mostly exist in civil law systems (where a judges ruling sets no precedent for future interpretation), while they barely exist in common law systems (like the US) since it's really difficult to point at consistency with previous cases when it comes to moral rights.

is it possible to correct the data using kpi's from steamcharts?

https://steamcharts.com/
The context here is "when doing business".
> Erik Wallace, a computer scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, told me in a phone interview that the lawsuit had “technical inaccuracies” and was “stretching the truth a lot.” Wallace pointed out that Stable Diffusion is only a few gigabytes in size—far too small to contain compressed copies of all or even very many of its training images.

>In reality, Stable Diffusion works by first converting a user’s prompt into a latent representation: a list of numbers summarizing the contents of the image. Just as you can identify a point on the Earth’s surface based on its latitude and longitude, Stable Diffusion characterizes images based on their “coordinates” in the “picture space.” It then converts this latent representation into an image.

Regardless of the lawsuit, this seems like a quite spurious, self-serving argument in and of itself. If the “coordinates” of the image were not equivalent to the image, how would it be possible to fine tune the model on a set of images and recreate their style? This is setting aside the myriad examples where SD regurgitates fairly close copies of individual works.

This is a bit like training a model on the works of Shakespeare, but then claiming that the tensors resulting from ingesting the data are not actually Shakespeare’s writing. Oh really, where’d they come from then? Thin air?
