The US is currently in 24th place on the corruptions index: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2022/index/usa

And it seems that corruption was not unknown in the states during the Confederacy period, and is claimed to have increased during the Confederacy: https://www2.byui.edu/i-learn/examples/AF_beforetext.pdf

> Between 1776 and 1787 corruption in state governments increased. States where debtors gained control of the legislatures issued large quantities of paper money which depreciated rapidly in value. In Rhode Island the small farmers in the assembly adopted a Force Act requiring creditors to accept the money at original value. Creditors in other states were also discriminated against by mortgage stay laws which prevented mortgage foreclosures for indefinite periods. The problem of factions within a republic, that was supposed to be solved by keeping republics small like the states, seemed became acute as legislatures became controlled by one faction or another and those factions passed discriminatory legislation.

> There were many disputes and tensions between the states that arose over foreign and interstate commerce. The states began using their power to levy tariffs after the war when England dumped such quantities of cheap goods in America that domestic producers were threatened with ruin. As the tariffs were not uniform among the states, commerce gravitated toward such low-tariff states as Rhode Island. Other states, jealous of this trade, began levying retaliatory tariffs against the goods of those favored states. Merchants and manufacturers wanted an end to destructive interstate tariffs and commercial rivalry, as well as aid in their dealing with foreign governments. States also began to argue with each other over the control of rivers and ports so essential to foreign and interstate trade; causing more bitter disputes between the states.

This is true but all the same is true for privately owned (eg VC backed) companies; maximising return (within whatever risk parameters shareholders are happy to accept) leaves plenty of room for disagreement about what the right way to do that is.

But often a change in ownership can also mean a change in risk tolerance, investment horizon and potentially in management incentives or management team. Some of these changes could align negatively with some customer interests and therefore caution from customers (especially those who worry they might not be seen as future core customers) is understandable when what has changed is unclear.

This is a good questions that should really be answered with a FAQ section.

Unless there is a paragraph discussing a word related to "plot" it will not have a useful answer.

I went on the Seattle Underground tour, it was really interesting, strongly recommended. The website has more history [1]:

"(Bill) Speidel ultimately did find the remains of the city consumed in the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, a town founded on mostly soggy tideflats whose streets would, whenever the rains came, bloat deep enough with mud to consume dogs and small children. After the fire, which destroyed some 25 square blocks of mostly wooden buildings in the heart of Seattle, it was unanimously decided that all new construction must be of stone or brick masonry. The city also decided to rise up from the muck in which its original streets lay. It was this decision that created the Underground: The city built retaining walls, eight feet or higher, on either side of the old streets, filled in the space between the walls, and paved over the fill to effectively raise the streets, making them one story higher than the old sidewalks that still ran alongside them."

What's so shocking in the brashness of their claims:
- UMG alleges that training generative AI on any of their artists is a "breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law."
- We are asked, which side of history to we want to be on? Apparently, original AI-generated content that imitates artists is siding with "deep fakes, fraud, and denying artists their due compensation."

The song was labeled as a wholly original, AI-generated song and in now way misrepresented itself. Many of my lawyer friends say this is testing new boundaries on copyright law because of what UMG is claiming.

Maybe no position with Google because they can bundle it with search results and threaten to take away search traffic. But OpenAI definitely does not already have all the relevant data. They need the new stuff also. That's part of the Reddit position as well.
I'm always suspicious of tests when test coverage is the main metric. I've seen developers write tests that don't really check anything but run all the code paths. I've also seen tests that check every bit of output, which end up being brittle.

How well do the tests hold up over time, and how well are the tests validating the contract of the code instead of just historical behavior and quirks?

I disagree. Evolve has a general meaning that is widely understood, not just in a specific technical context.

The fact that a spider can selectively express different proteins to suit different conditions is no different to all the other ways a living body can selectively alter protein expression to suit different conditions. We would not describe those as evolution.
I have recently spent a lot of time reading the USB 2.0 specification and figuring out a race condition I've been experiencing that turned out to actually be a deficiency of the spec itself.

Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT about it. This is its answer:

> According to the USB 2.0 specification, a remote wakeup event can be initiated by a USB device in a suspended state to request the host to resume communication with the device. The device sends a remote wakeup signal to its hub, which then forwards the signal to the host.

> However, if the upstream port of the hub is in the process of being suspended, the remote wakeup signal from the downstream device may not be received by the host. This is because the hub's upstream port is no longer able to forward the signal to the host during the suspension process.

> As a result, the remote wakeup event may fail, and the downstream device may remain in a suspended state indefinitely. To avoid this race condition, the USB 2.0 specification recommends that downstream devices wait for a certain period before sending a remote wakeup signal to their hubs to ensure that the hub's upstream port is not being suspended.

It sounds as if it made perfect sense, except to know that it actually completely doesn't you have to spend hours reading the spec first.

We're going to see a huge spike of confidently wrong "experts" if they learn by asking ChatGPT to explain things to them.

The show never misses. I love it so much. So wholesome, always puts me in a good mood.
> That alone doesn't guarantee that those theories would fit future data.

Sure, but that's sort of a triviality. It's true for any theory.

> It's a two-way process. You need experiments to improve theory, and you need theory to create experiments.

I agree that it's a two-way process but I wouldn't say you need theory to create experiments and I think I've given sufficiently many counter examples to illustrate this.

What we (as humans) do need theory for is to make sense of our experiments (or of the world, really) and discover new experimental setups that might uncover something interesting (not explained by the current theory). On the other hand, without theory there's no concept of "unexplained by theory" in the first place. Our experiments would probably resemble random walks (in the sense that they're not driven by theory) but that doesn't mean we couldn't uncover interesting phenomena, let alone run experiments at all.

Getting back to the "making sense of the world" point: Take an AI for instance. It could probably be trained on experimental data alone and make suggestions for future experiments and give predictions, without a simple, coherent and human-understandable theory behind them[0]. This, too, illustrates that experiments would be possible (and worthwhile) even without theory.

Note that I'm not at all trying to play down the role of theory. To the contrary, I'm saying all this as a former theoretical physicist myself. I just see experiment and theory as equals.

What I hear:

1. We DO want to make a ton of money off of this
2. We will make you pay for the API access but still block things like NSFW
3. Because we still want users to use our shitty app and site for ad revenue
4. We haven’t even thought of what parts of the API you will and will not get access to
5. We really wanted to frame all of this positively so we pretend it’s reasonable costs, as if API users would cost more than having those people use reddits own api on their website.

I guarantee they won’t offer any better service, just demand payment now, will continue to make their site shittier, but increase pricing year on year.

On the off-note, can anybody tell me what's going on with embeddings, & vector databases? Certainly it would seem that forward-pass completion is pretty much solved, & a smaller, better model will appear eventually. Let's say you even managed to solve both complete() and embed() but what do you do with it, how are you going to organise, query, and multiply this dataset? Now the question I know that text-embedding-ada-002 has twice as many dimensions as mainstream Sentence transformers. Do we need all the extra dimensions? If not, how do I make it work better for my specific dataset with lots of jargon and abbreviations and stuff like that? What are the hardware requirements for that? I.e. could I do a fine-tuning job on some specific jargon-heavy text to get better embeddings for them? For one, the more I look into similarity-based use-cases the more I see that it's not normally speaking "top-percentile nearest-neightbour search" but the data is also terribly relational, i.e. it's probably like a slowly changing dimension, and there's a tree traversal type structure in how documents are generated as output from other documents as inputs? So you kind of have to think about these complete/embed ops both in aggregate; for batching but also in particular, from the cost/reward ROI type calculation. Not just in aggregate but also in terms of memory usage patterns to further optimise layout— tiering and stuff like that really comes to light.

Also: vector database shilling on HN is getting out of hand; multiple companies literally plugging every mention on the radar, some actively begging for upvotes. Looking at it all makes you really appreciate pgvector[1] to a point where you would be more willing to buy 3.2 TB of high-bandwidth NVMe and dedicate it to a large IFV index than ever have to deal with all of this "purpose-built vector database" bullshit.

I think GP's point is that the amount of the settlement is not enough given the total number of users involved, rather than the class action itself is insignificant.

In my opinion, in these type of cases, the amount should be directly correlated to how much revenue the company generated from the sale of the data. If the sale of my data is deemed illegal/unethical/etc, then I should reap all financial benefits plus damages.

What's stopping FB from just continuing this practice and just upping their costs to their customers to include this added "cost" of doing business?

I am reminded of this intro by Marc Andreessen for Breaking Smart[1]:
> A great deal of product development is based on the assumption that products must adapt to unchanging human needs or risk being rejected. Yet, time and again, people adapt in unpredictable ways to get the most out of new tech. Creative people tinker to figure out the most interesting applications, others build on those, and entire industries are reshaped.

There will high group of people who will tinker and adapt to the way the gpts work and make the best of it - creating new apps, industries, and so on. This has been the case all through the tech cycles.

We will change ourselves to the new tech and we won't even realize we changed.

That seems like it should be enough protection. The goal of most thieves is to drain your bank account/Apple Pay.

Even if it doesn't initially, the fact that it's being released so permissively is massive - stable diffusion was made far more powerful by being hackable at all levels and I can't imagine we won't see the same here.
