The proximate reason can be "because we've always done it this way," or "because it's easy", but I'm not sure that changes the root cause.

Ultimately, it comes down to "this is something that could be done better by a trained adult, but we don't have the same access to trained adults that we do to children, in part because of the massive economic inequalities our society experiences today."

My big question is what is your standard java / c# dev supposed to do to keep up with the massive changes that are coming? I was seriously considering doing a GT OMCS, but I don't know what sort of return on investment that would have for me.

I was also considering building a gaming pc to also be able to play around with ai / ml, only, I'm not even sure what one would be able to run locally anymore even with a 4090?

> What if you combine those with an LLM that has been prompted to take over every machine on the planet?

Or, without a melodramatically villainous human action in the mix, one which has been prompted to perform some innocuous task, but given inadequate safeguards, and for which it reasons (perhaps accurately, with the paramters it has been given) taking over every other computer will be useful in more efficiently carrying out.

That's a good comparison because i feel differently for similar reasons as the way i framed my previous argument. I agree that those drugs are all very bad, but i also approximately want to legalize it because, as you said, it can't be undone and most importantly i don't feel like those drugs themselves are the problem.

Having experienced family members heavily under the influence of these destructive forces has led me to the believe (biased, as my belief is) that the drugs are medication for users seeking help. Clearly a bad form of medication, but nonetheless the abuse is self medicated in my view. So my view of solutions here is not about prohibition, because my family still acquired them, but that of robust solutions to what put people in the state to self medicate to begin with.

Likewise i wonder if people are so easily wrecked by a bot that is merely nice, is there something better we should be doing than prohibition? Is this a form of self medication to our modern lifestyle?

The best answers are of course complex. But my family was destroyed so i'm biased in believing that prohibition is not doing nearly enough. Especially when it feels like with prohibition in place we seem to rely entirely on prohibition.

I get that your argument is not about prohibition, but rather weaponizing distribution. A comparison could be the difference between legalizing these drugs vs putting them in the checkout aisle of supermarkets. I get that. However i'm clearly biased against believing that slowing down the access is not an answer. Facing the problem and the doing all we can to seek out the root cause for why medication is taking place is all i seem capable of agreeing with. As difficult as that may be.
I almost think having crew mates in a small confined space for years on end would be worse than the isolation of being alone. Maybe the first mission to Mars should just be one astronaut and their dogs.
But intellectual property rights are property rights (right there in the name; granted, it's a different kind of property, infinitely replicable, but it's still "intangible personal property," protected as such).

... and infringing a valid copyright willfully for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain is a criminal offense in the US (17 U.S.C. 506(A)). It's up to a felony violation.

You can, for personal reasons, assert there's a fundamental difference in kind (and you'd be joining an argument dating back past the founding of the U.S., an argument where Thomas Jefferson once said of protection of intellectual property that "other nations have thought that these monopolies produce more embarrassment than advantage to society"), but in the sense that any law has any real meaning or force, it's exactly as much the law as the law against kicking you out of your own house because I like your house better.
why would one use socket deadlines in Go? In Go you would typically just use Context.Deadline or a select and timer mechanism to implement timeouts - and the runtime manages those via timers integrated into the runtime. Socket timeouts are for blocking IO, which Go doesn't use.

I'm really not sure that anything in the USSR could be described as capitalism, not even a state managed version of it (which sounds like a contradiction).

> The term has all the same issues, does it not?

It could be useful for a similar reason as the euphemism treadmill. We could leave behind all of the misguided assumptions about AI with the old 'artificial intelligence' nomenclature and move forward with 'synthetic intelligence' which has our new understanding of what systems like GPT-4 can do.
The replies seem to be full of low-quality guesses, which is disappointing to see on this site (assuming they were not using sarcasm). I’ll try to do slightly better and link the actual press release and include the official statement.

Hopefully someone who has access to the C suite at Spotify can leak the actual answer here (I’m sure they will get right on that). For future reference just Google “x acquires y” if you want to attempt to get any insight about “what x planned to do with y after acquiring”.

> “We are always looking for innovative and playful ways to enhance music discovery and help artists reach new fans,” commented Jeremy Erlich, Global Head of Music, Spotify. “Heardle has proven to be a really fun way to connect millions of fans with songs they know and love and with new songs . . . and a way to compete with their friends as to who has the best musical knowledge. Since its debut, the game has quickly built a loyal following, and it aligns with our plans to deepen interactivity across the Spotify ecosystem.”

The official statement seems consistent with what was reported in this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35570998

In other words, they tried to retool the tech toward an additional value proposition for both users and artists. The result failed to meet a quality bar, and therefore it was decided to axe the project.

This statement appears to be false, according to the linked DOJ report below (despite the claims made by the comment).

You can be compassionate without being empathetic. You can recognize, intellectually that someone is in distress and still help. I cannot even imagine the pain someone is in, actually, I think its healthier to be compassionate without being empathetic. else you would be emotionally exhausted if you felt as others in distress do. Reading the news would be an act of torture.

Clean room reverse engineering is a thing because software copyright was a mistake and the judicial system understands it was a mistake. In software, it is regular and common for programmers to use licensed software libraries with defined interfaces. In writing or art, the notion of a "compatible interface" isn't really there. If you wrote a short fan story with Marvel characters and you want to liberate it from Disney's ownership, you have to redesign all the characters; you can't just argue that you need a superhero with red nanotech armor and a drinking problem in exactly this particular shape for compatibility.
Sounds like you live with with floaty ideals and quick to turn down “unethical” ideas, or product. What you see is the symptom, and it’s the reality there is a demand for this.
If you truly care about what you say, do something to help with the root of what you think is the problem. What are the alternatives? If there is none, go make one.
It isn't surprising to me that the world's leading AI company is signalling it's okay with slowing down all large scale LLM training that would allow other companies to be competitive. This is familiar territory for Microsoft (edit: guess I'm wrong, they don't get the 49% stock till later).
> I'm clearly not talking about property rights

This is literally a property rights case, so if your comment wasn’t about property rights it was wildly out of context.
In the paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.11429.pdf In point 5.5 (page 57) Future work :

"

Promising areas of future work include:
• Mini-batch optimization. Both the theory and experiments in this chapter have been limited to full-
batch optimization. However, the MM paradigm can be extended to mini-batch optimization (e.g.,
[54]). A universal mini-batch MM optimization algorithm may outperform Adam and AdaGrad on
certain large-scale machine learning problems.

"

The current limits of this algorithm (point 2 page 56) is that the reverse mode bounding is not implemented yet (and related work didn't obtain tight bounds) so you can't yet apply it directly for function with huge number of input parameters, so for the time being the main usage is limited to few hyper-parameter optimizations.
> When you clamp all those things together, this sounds like a great burden. Please tell me, how these poor small businesses comply with, you know, actual laws, rules and regulations that they have to comply with? By breaking them?

Most of the time they don't.

Ever wonder why food health and safety inspections discover serious issues in basically all restaurants they inspect?

It's because people owning and operating restaurants usually aren't knowledgable enough about these topics, don't have the time or don't have the money to things differently or all three at the same time.

Most restaurants stay in business because the inspection are generally pretty lenient (issue warnings and don't close the business down) and are also understaffed compared to the number of businesses that have to be inspected.

This is a simple example and I'm purposefully targeting a part of the law (food health and safety) that is directly linked to the core business (restaurants).
I'm not even going into issues that could be found in other areas (accounting, human resources, etc.) of said business.

Now let's try to imagine how a restaurant is going to approach GDPR compliance.

> It's not a ton, but it's not zero. And when it comes to data durability the difference between zero and not zero is usually all that matters.

If your system isn't resilient to 2 in 350,000,000 jobs failing I think there is something wrong with your system.

Some of the previous recordholders were at least 38 Ukrainian Jews, including three families (Stermer, Dodyk, and Wexler) and some very young children, who survived the Holocaust by hiding in the Ozerna caves ("Priest's Grotto") in Ternopil oblast, western Ukraine, for 344 days.

I could say about someone who kills a million people "well, they don't care. At least they didn't kill two million people." That doesn't seem like the right way to evaluate ethical claims.

To me 'crash' means any unexpected termination, whether it's caused by an uncaught exception, OOM, or hardware/network issues.

"AI" is one of the few words that has a looser definition as jargon than in general discourse. In general discourse, "AI" has a precise meaning: "something that can think like a human." As jargon though, "AI" means "we can get funding for calling this 'AI'." I would say LLMs count as AI exactly because they can simulate human-like reasoning. Of course they still have gaps, but on the other hand, they also have capabilities that humans don't have. On balance, "AI" is fair, but it's only fair because it's close to the general usage of the term. The jargon sense of it is just meaningless and researchers should be ashamed of letting the term get so polluted when it had and has a very clear meaning.
It made total sense to me. With increase in command over language inmates started using shorter sentences instead of long ones without break.
Just ran your comments - not just this comment - through ChatGPT and am passing along the feedback:
As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or emotions. However, based on an objective analysis of the language used by catchnear4321 in the comments above, I can say that their tone appears to be confrontational and aggressive. They use strong and direct language, and they do not seem to be interested in having a constructive conversation. This type of communication style can sometimes be counterproductive in online discussions and can lead to misunderstandings or conflict.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It's a fair point. The dollar someone else might pay for you to reduce their sentence might be higher than you would get outside. It's all about comparative advantage.
