If a person trained themselves on the same resources, and picked up a brush or a camera and created some stunning art in a similar vein, would we look at that as a derivative work? Very interesting discussion. Art of all forms are inspired by those who came before.

Inspired/trained… I think these could be seen as the same.
Last November, Holmes was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison. Probably not the outcome she was shooting for when she dropped out of college at age 19 to start her own company.
Being able to groom oneself is a major career booster in most fields. Yes, you can always fall back on talent, but it doesn't hurt to look the part when employers are looking for people to represent them.
Yeah, like others said. You don't.

This is very interesting and certainly clears up a long held childhood notion that all insects are attracted to the moon (?) makes no sense, but glad to see research on this.
Please just stop omitting frame pointers. You might lose out on 6 months of CPU speed advances, but from then on out you will reap the benefits of better production observability for years to come.
Remember that a tremendous amount of attractiveness is effort, as opposed to genes.

So it's not unreasonable to hypothesize that the causality might actually run backwards here -- people who want to have a better career put more effort into their appearance.

You know how they say dress for the job you want, not the job you have? Well it's not just your dress -- it's your hair, it's your confidence, it's your diet, it's your glasses, it's your athletic fitness, it's your posture, it's your makeup, it's taking care of your skin.

>It's interesting to ask people who are concerned about the training data what they think of Adobe Firefly, which is strictly trained on correctly licensed data.

If they truly got an appropriate license agreement for every image in the training set then I have no issues with that.

>I'm under the impression that DALL-E itself used licensed data as well.

DALL-E clearly used images they did not have a license for. Early on it was able to output convincing images of Pikachu and Homer Simpson. OpenAI certainly didn’t get licensing rights for those characters.
oh boy, someone is laughing way to the bank... (and it's not sega)
I think you kind of have this turned on its head in that exploring passions is a natural outcome of our current labor productivity when the actual thing that is the problem is under control rather than out of control and that is abusing market power for rent seeking purposes. Housing costs have gotten out of control because people who own houses lobby for regulatory changes that increase the value of their assets and this is just one small subset of the regulatory rent seeking abuse going on today making it expensive to live even though labor productivity is very high.

Same thing with the black death in the middle ages. Killing a huge portion of the population while leaving almost all the capital in tact made labor valuable and capital cheap and labor used their new ascendence to roll back some of the most heinous abuses of the pre black death era. With the new found rights labor had a higher chance of keeping the proceeds from innovation they came up with and so innovation ensued.

Same thing with post WWII. In this case the old world was completely crushed putting humanity on a more equal level than it has probably ever been and this combined with post enlightenment thinking on equality, human rights and American Libertarianism to let a whole new batch of billionaires grow out of providing services to humanity that were in demand (who then invested in rent seeking themselves putting us where we are today).
Not sure if this is "prove it for fun because obviously they're lying" or serious mode, so I have several answers, none of which are bad advice and all of which are not jokes.

- Assume it's not, because it isn't. Then don't worry about it and just speak your mind.

- It's better to have raged and lost (your job), than to never have raged at all?

- Make friends with someone from HR / whoever deals with the responses. Ask them.

- Write outrageously threatening/dangerous/offensive responses and see if the cops arrive at your desk.
No surprise. We over-worship smartness and education. Doing, trying, and attitude are probably much more important beyond basic intelligence.
You are correct. The port is part of the tcp header and my statement above is incorrect!
I would always assume they are not.
I suppose that is a way of looking at it.
Sure, but it’s a lot harder to test for things like stress or being stymied than it is to test for conversion. Easy implementation + results that make money graphs go up will win every time without C-level involvement.
Makes me wonder if it’s just something as simple as suboptimal routing and the path it’s taking is through a hop experiencing packet loss or some other issue further upstream. I would think that there’s a higher chance of AT&T being incompetent then doing something nefarious.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who doesn't get why this is so "turned on its head."

Why all the hoopla over junior roles? It seems to me that startups need experienced people who are nonetheless excited about the startup environment and energy, and willing to go the extra mile. People like that might be harder to find, thus warranting a dedicated service. I'd be interested.

It is for me. Is there something better I'm not aware of?
Taking a quick 5 minute look at the packet capture attached to the post, it looks to me like this is likely traffic shaping. While it's always difficult to be 100% sure from just the client side capture, the capture looks relatively clean of errors, and the amount of data in flight doesn't appear to even approach the advertised window. We're getting some merging of segments likely from a segment offload, but I doubt that's throwing off the results.

So there's a good chance there's a shaper letting through about 320kbit/s as it's relatively even throughout the capture.
You can think of the requests to fast.com as just loading the speed test control scripts and user interface. The actual speed test loads files from the same servers (with the same SNI hostname) used by actual Netflix video streaming. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the fast.com speed test loads real streaming video segments from these servers, the only difference being that it doesn't have the decryption key for these videos.

To be clear I'm not a fan of adding JPEG-XL to browsers rather I think you're presenting a strawman for why. Even if the size overhead were 0 bytes you're still completely ignoring the project page says it takes ~0.8 seconds (~0.5 multithreaded) to load 0.2 kilobyte image files with nothing else going on. An infinitely better format wouldn't make sense to a lot of sites.

That is to say people excited about JPEG-XL being removed aren't simply just ignorant they could decode it via JavaScript/WASM. Mostly they seem to disagree on what "enough improvement" to outweigh the cost of a shipping a new format is. E.g. Cloudinary is a commonly referenced proponent not by chance but because they operate a media CDN and it makes sense for them to present lots of material about the advantages vs say a single site.
This is great insight. Thank you for that.

I imagine lots of people are or have spent lots of money and time trying to figure out the type of data or connection from patterns as you say.

A more nuanced and correct statement would have been to say that it's much harder to do than it used to be, when you could just look at the mime-type or similar to figure out what to throttle.
The exact words I had in mind: 'the low-hanging fruits'. But you expressed it more accurately than I was going to. All the simple stuff has been done.

The headline is a tautology. By definition inflation is a different way of saying that buyers accept to pay higher prices for the same goods and services.

The bits lost to convert to dc for your cell phone and whatnot are rounding errors.

I would be interested to see an analysis of whether it's more efficient to have a single dc converter vs lots of little ones. I doubt it.

And also I don't understand the reference to HVDC - that's a transmission technology that's already used when more efficient and doesn't relate to household dc electronics.

Yeah, that part is a little strange. They mention in section 4.1.4 that you must make clear that you're referring to the Rust language and not the Rust software, and they suggest doing that by saying "ABC compiler for Rust" instead. But that phrasing definitely doesn't make the intended distinction any clearer to my ears.

It also seems strange that they would allow a different compiler to use the trademark to refer to the language, as in "ABC compiler for Rust", without any requirement that the language implemented by the compiler is in fact the Rust™ language with "the same features and functionality", so that it doesn't create exactly the kind of confusion they're trying to avoid with this policy.

Edit: I'm not necessarily in favor of such conformance requirements. It's a tool that can be used both for good and for evil: Java used it to successfully defend against Microsoft but also to (in effect) prevent Adoptium from distributing OpenJ9.

I think a better (but less concise) way to phrase it is: "I shouldn't have to think to use your interface, because that's bandwidth I won't have available to think about your content." Thinking of this way creates a value proposition for the creator that aligns with the user's goals.
yes yes we get it you have a bunch of short positions
> English has a lot of foolish rules, but the large vocabulary provides a much higher bandwidth than other languages.

I think that it's the grammar rules that make English fairly efficient, and also effectively add to its vocabulary, because word order in English is so strong that it twists whatever word you put in a particular position into whatever part of speech it needs to be. In less order-based languages you have to learn a bunch of elaborate formulas to change the word; in English, it's basically just Subject, Verb, Object and a few mathematical rules about commas, prepositions and conjunctions to make that basic structure recursive or flowery. All of English's core vocabulary is horrifyingly irregular, and you can ignore almost all of that irregularity, prefixes and suffixes, and still make yourself pretty easily understood.

I think the massive vocabulary of English makes it less dense. We have a lot of words that mean exactly the same thing, but that we pretend mean different things. We find ourselves arguing about the innuendo around words or the "actual definitions" of words almost more than material issues, constantly invoking contradictory authorities. We're also constantly repeating ourselves and pretending like we've understood because using obscure words is a sign of intelligence, and not understanding them a sign of stupidity.

Romance languages seem to have a lot fewer words with specific meanings, and do most of their playing with grammar (making a lot of sentences into horrifying mazes.) And irt the center and north in Germanic Europe, the most interesting thing about "Uncleftish Beholding" is that to English speakers it reads like stupid cavemen talking about magic, but it's basically a unit-by-unit direct translation of how Danes, Norwegians and Swedes really talk. English speakers never use the common word for anything if they want to sound like they know what they're talking about.

an aside: I've always heard that Vietnamese is the most efficient by syllable. IIRC some paper came up with a metric where it was about 1.4x more efficient than English. There was also someone who figured out that universally, human languages expressed ideas at the same rate, but the people who spoke less efficient languages just talked faster.
I find it curious to talk about basic economics when referring to the cost and supply of money.

Money is subject to centralized control and manipulation by a quasi-private entity (the Federal Resserve) which holds a monopoly on the cost and supply of money.

Remember, money accounts for half of every transaction in our economy. When one-half of every transaction is controlled by a centralized monopoly, we do not in fact have a free market subject to the laws of economics.

Technology Connections has a really interesting (as always) video on this. Supposedly 10-20% of your power bill goes to power, the rest is for grid maintenance. The poor are going to have to pay more and more to maintain the grid, unless there is a radical change in how grid-tied is priced.

Reductive. Notably, at the beginning of the pandemic, the motivation for "dropping everything and hiding" was to avoid overwhelming hospitals in the early phases of the pandemic --- which is something that did in fact happen, and impacted care (and cost lives) of people who weren't especially susceptible to COVID. Certain conservatives may have had the better argument later in the pandemic, but it's fallacious to retcon that all the way back into spring 2020.
This seems less like fetishizing and more like someone applying the only hammer they have (programming languages) to the wrong nail (human languages).

Google is right to panic, because they might actually be overtaken now, mired as they are in their ad-driven business model that has largely turned search into SEO-poisoned well [0]. Instead, some future chatbot search will likely win that convinces users it is not influenced by advertisers nor "well-poisoned" by a SEO equivalent.

OpenAI is well positioned and has the lead, but the field is wide open at the moment.

When a rich person spends money by suing, they have nothing to loose, only to gain. This reminds me of a former president suing his lawyer who helped him executing his dirty plans.
I suspect they meant what they said - you're probably used to deciding that your statement is going to be a question because you must in English. You are probably forgetting all of the times you have started saying something only to realize that you werent sure of what you were talking about.
Thats not true, Google Fi has the same priority as postpaid T-Mobile. This is something MVNOs negotiate in their contracts with carriers, not something thats true across the board.

What do you mean by "sorting 1500 triangles"? You mean sorting their vertices? I believe you already do that in a couple of places; since you're using a depth buffer, I don't think you need to sort them back-to-front, so I'm not sure what you mean.

True that a 120x120 display is tiny, but that also means that you can get away with two static arrays of 120 elements for the left and right sides of the triangle, no need to do any allocation or use tons of memory.
There's a part of me that loves this and there's a part of me that finds this sorta sad. Not pejoratively, just, evocatively for me there's a sense of sadness in the ephemeral nature of this installation.

As someone who has worked with an artifact or a few over the years, I definitely agree. The most colorful example was when I tried to rewrite one from scratch just to thoroughly understand all the business logic in it. By the time I ironed out all the bugs my code was practically identical to the original.
Yep. I'm still on AT&T's ADSL (what used to be known as Uverse) and routinely get routed through Chicago rather than Detroit (I live 30 mi north) for major services like Cloudflare. Of the two choices I have for ISP, AT&T or Comcast, only AT&T has such poor routing. AT&T Fiber apparently has better peering but their supposed expansion hasn't happened in my area yet.

The current generation of bogstandard virtual machine instances at the big 3 will launch with fairly up-to-date languages (e.g. Python 3.10, Node 16) which may break whatever you are running.

It's tricky to avoid that. If you know the node version you developed with, I highly suggested pulling a docker image that runs that node version and then pulling your repo in.

Other small prod challenges might be getting SSL working, in practise meaning your backend needs a domain not just an IP (you need it for Chrome to call APIs these days more or less), things like port firewall rules (different for different cloud stacks) and also for the frontend, the nginx/apache request forwarding (depends on SSR/mechanism... older single-entrypoint react apps need to redirect all requests to the / index without ruining the route lok up)
