I believe that a further restriction of fair use to what is produced by a generative AI would also give a lot of tools for large copyright holders (e.g. Disney) for suing and removing fan art for anything that "is in the style of" or "makes use of the same characters" including uses that would previously be considered beneath their notice and thus not worth their time (the amount the lawyers would cost combined with the difficulty in doing it).

The lawyers won't "mess it up" but rather that the large copyright holders will be able to use this to enforce these restrictions on human generated fan art just as easily as they (and other humans) will be able to enforce it on generative AI.

While it won't be possible to excise the idea of "draw like Disney" from someone's brain, it will be possible to sue the creator to remove the work.

No, not both sides. Ukraine was perfectly to stay home and take care of their own citizens. There's only one country that invaded the other and started stealing their kids and bomb their population.

I would imagine that fifteen years ago, nobody needed a document editor embedded in a chat app. In fact, today we don't need a document editor embedded in a chat app. As far as "automated transcriptions", they weren't necessarily practical fifteen years ago. And cross platform? Hello? There have been IRC clients for every platform since forever. And Matrix clients. And many other clients.

In short: Teams is not all that revolutionary or even great.
As a Ukrainian immigrant, how do you feel about the claims that ehtno-Russians in eastern Ukraine were being harassed and killed and having their culture made illegal by the Ukrainian government or its actors? There's so much propaganda on both sides. How do you feel about western involvement in 2014?
NATO never made any formal commitment not to expand eastward, and Russian presidents from Yeltsin onwards were completely relaxed about eastern European countries choosing freely to join NATO. Gorbachev is on record saying he was never even aware any such statements had been given.

In May 2002 Vladimir Putin said Ukraine was entitled to decide on its own whether to join NATO and that he did not see such a decision as one that would “cloud” Russian-Ukrainian relations.

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. These countries came beating on NATO's door desperate to be let in. The instigating trigger for Putin's 2014 annexation of Crimea wasn't anything anyone in NATO said or did, it was the newly elected Ukrainian government's signalling that they wanted to join NATO.

Misalignment, AI and Moloch – Daniel Schmachtenberger and Liv Boeree
a very interesting discussion about something i've been thinking about for a while, which is the fact that human society has already been "misaligned" for quite a while. so if you want to solve "AI alignment", you first should probably think about how to implement the proper behavior of things like corporations and institutions.
I don't have to imagine anything since I'm already delegating part of the job I used to send to my own secretary to AI, such as:

- reading boring documents and giving me the gist of it

- classifying my emails

- checking for typos and problems in my writing

- writing the boiler plate of documents

- translating doc

- doing basic search on a topic, such as legal obligations that haven't change in the last 2 years

It's cheaper than my secretary, faster, and has roughly the same error rate for those tasks. I have to double check her work anyway.

With plugins, people are already making stuff like booking a plane, another thing my secretary does.

It will expend.

Most things we say, including many valuable contributions to dialogues, are subjective. We don't need to qualify them with "this is just my opinion, but..." every single time. You are of course free to disagree using as much or as little elaboration as you like, but the additional implication of "you shouldn't have even said it because it's not an objective fact" is not useful.

> All a connection is doing is managing the state of a given byte stream, keeping track of how much was sent on one end and received on the other end. All the packets for all connections go through the same pipes and are even routed the same. The TCP stack sees an IP packet coming in, and in its IP and TCP headers it sees it's from IP:port, so it maps it to the state it is maintaining for that source.

"the state it is maintaining for that source" is the "discrete" thing I'm referring to

creating that state requires at least one network round-trip to the remote, and incurs non-negligible costs on the local machine in the application, network, system, and kernel layers

those costs define a per-connection overhead which are almost immediately the main performance bottleneck in systems that do connection-per-request

those costs amortize to zero if you multiplex requests over a single connection
Of course they are disjoint. It wasn't implied that they aren't.

The group meant in my comment above was not the set of people buying Apple, but the set of people buying expensive $2K+ laptops.

And that's a group that includes buyers of the expensive models from all of the above manufacturers.
Realistically we cannot walk into Costco, get a $500 laptop and expect it to be free of bloatware and ads. There has to be a compromise somewhere if you really need something at that price level. It doesn't take much effort to wipe it all out as you say, do a fresh install and disable the features of Windows that annoy you the most. The question is if 2-3 hours of your time are worth the cheaper tag price.

>why is that user-unfriendly? Didn't it work?

assuming you're not trolling, it's user-unfriendly because novices are used to changing settings in GUIs. changing settings in a bash script is a qualitative difference, and paradoxically leaves novices more helpless, despite being a more powerful tool in principle.

they don't know any of the syntax or semantics of bash, so they may as well be pasting something written in Kanji. they must put their trust in some random person on the internet who told them the incantation, that it isn't malicious or outdated or irrelevant. if it doesn't work, they have no idea what to do, or how to even begin to debug it, or how to undo it. they don't know if the change they made is permanent or if it will go away if they delete the line and reboot. they don't know about man pages, or the difference between .bashrc and .profile, or what the PATH environmental variable is, or what an environmental variable is full-stop, or what sudo means, or file permissions, symlinks, shebang lines, package managers, or any of the myriad incidental complexity which might crop up when you try to run some shell command from stackoverflow.

because often it isn't as simple as running that shell command. it turns out you need to run it with sudo, or apt install some missing command, or it uses some syntactic construct that doesn't work in your current shell, or a grep option that doesn't exist on your version, or you're in the wrong directory, or you need to activate some systemd service first, or it says to pip install something but actually you should use your system's package manager, or X or Y or Z ... experienced users run into little snags like this all the time and fix them without even thinking about it. do an experiment for me right now: go through your bash command history and find some command you used to solve some minor problem. then look at the commands before it for the failed attempts and workarounds and diagnostic steps you did. you probably forgot you even did those. then ask yourself if a total novice could have done them. the answer will be "no".

compare a GUI: a GUI settings dialog will have options labelled in English, and leans on well-understood semiotics of checkboxes, dropdown menus, sliders and so on. those constrain the possible types and values (compare with stringly typed shell commands), and it's clear how to undo them afterwards if necessary. they inform you of both the current state of the system, and how to change it (contrast: viewing the state of the system vs changing the state is two different terminal commands).

novices have a perfectly rational fear of screwing with things on the terminal.

Just to be clear: Russia invaded Ukraine. I’m not sure why you are both-sidesing this.

Also, who are you talking about when you say "both sides"?Are you talking about Ukraine and Russia? Withdraw to where? Agreement with whom?

Please be specific.
Very accurate. The CIA is actively involved in the interference of their 'allies' governments.

Japan didn't break from US in this news article, it received permission to do so, likely so that it can remain in a defensible position against China.
Personally, I use my spare time towards organizing a group that supports and nurtures developer communities in my area [1].

My organization is itself a 501c3, and our charitable mission is to provide developers with opportunities to learn and network. We do this by organizing monthly technical meetings, networking events, career panels, and hackathons. All at no cost to our members (no fees, tickets, or dues).

We also provide support to a larger network of meetup groups in the Tampa Bay area [2]. These groups are more specialized into specific disciplines/areas of interest. Many of these died out during the pandemic so rehabilitating that scene is an important mission for us as well.

100 meters / days is 3.6 kilometers a year. To reach western point of Ukraine, Russians need to go about 1000 kilometers - so at 100 meters a day it would take them nice 277 years.

Of course, they are going slower than that. And also, at the current rate of attrition, Russia will run out of Russians long, long before that.

If you’re mad at some of the Allies, be mad at the European “big powers” that have let their hard power rot and are unable to defend their interests in Europe (see Ukraine would be extinct without the US). Finland has an army more capable of defending their territory than any other EU country other than Poland after their latest expansion. They just prefer not to have to do that - hence NATO which raises the threshold to invade immensely
I haven't watched pro wrestling since I was a kid. I happened to be at a hotel across the street from a show. The talent and crew were at the same hotel. I was at the bar after the show ended. Everybody was so nice. I was a little mystified about what was happening, but I finally put it together.

Talent was very patient with fans, let pretty much everyone take pictures. Staff cared about fans, asking about their favorite part or listening to the odd complaint. Compared to say a kitchen crew getting off work and unwinding, the WWE folks were surprisingly wholesome. Everyone seemed nice and down to earth.

>the fcc is allowed to take their money back if your service is going in a downward trend.

That’s not quite right. They can take it if they conclude you will not meet the target. Ups and downs on the way there are totally fine under the rules.

Starlink can scale dramatically just by launching new satellites. The FCC is keen on stopping that too, refusing to approve all of Starlink’s satellite launch proposals and instead making them slow walk their growth.

In addition to hating Musk, the White House thinks fiber to the home is like rural electrification. Starlink, by providing very much good-enough universal service (though they can scale up to gigabit speeds, it’s just a matter of how many satellites they have), is threatening to undermine political support for spending money on fiber buildouts.
I agree that copyleft is more about "giving forward", and I think it's a confusion a lot of people make. Reading through the thread, I get the impression that some think as soon as one "distributes" the licensed material, original authors should get a copy. I'm extrapolating of course, but even then I feel some people would agree with that statement.

GPL, for instance, merely states that distributed sources or patches "based on" the program should be "conveyed" under the same terms. In other words, anyone who gets their hands on it will do so under the same license.

If anything, I would be worried that GitHub trained itself on publicly-available but not clearly licensed code, because then it would have no license to "use" it in any way[0]. GPL provides such a right, so there is no problem there. It would be even more worrying if the not clearly licensed code was in a private repository but I think I remember reading that private repositories were not included in the training data.

However, would you consider a black box program, of which the output can consistently produce verbatim or at the very least slightly modified copies of code from GPL code to be transformative? The problem does not lie in how the code is distributed but in how transformative the distributed code is. Not only does the same apply to any program besides AI-powered software, it applies to humans[1].

Given how unpredictable the output of an AI is, one should not be able to train itself on GPL code if it cannot reliably guarantee it will not produce infringing code.

I share your skepticism to some extent, but where I think I also think the perspective of the post has some merit is in recognizing that those things you equate with X are not all the same, and not interchangeable.

In my experience, you can work hard, be smart, work smart, and that still doesn't necessarily equate into money or status. This is more true the more that the system you're operating in is broken or corrupt.

At some point you question what it is you're doing, and what the payoffs are or whether or not they're worth it. Maybe getting to retirement financially is better done through a different circle with different status markers.

The thing about status is it's inherently heterogeneous. Although there are ideas of status that are more or less prevalent, everyone has a different idea of what status means at some level. I can think of very concrete, real examples that are objectively very high status under very reasonable definitions, but to me come across as gauche, immoral, and unintelligent.

in terms of employment status is a logical and ethical consideration. Tenure is status.

But status is not reported acuratly but whichever metric it is of consideration of.

and the status we think is appraised high might be a status that has actually a low apprasial.. Like being a porn star or a hollywood actor unlike Robin Williams. Or being a philisophical considerer- it might not be seen as of a high status but yet this underpins how we meet our death very much.
