Well, of course he's still more privileged than others but he definitely makes a point.

While rich kids do get an edge with private tutoring and other support from their parents, well designed standardized tests allow intelligent + hard working candidates without many resources to get in.

If only CV and grades matter, the system is way more rigged in favor of the rich kids.
That's the idea - content used for training ais should be licensed. Also there is nothing intelligent about current ai, there is no learning involved, just software ingesting content, there's nothing original about what ai generates. It really shouldn't be compared to humans. Just because a laptop can emit sound it doesn't mean it can sing. Neither can a piece of software aimed at mimicking human brains think or learn.
> inheritance with wills is more convenient and orderly for everyone involved, but it is not the thing that enables people to pass things on to heirs

The state's monopoly on violence, and the rule of law it allows, is definitely the thing that enables people to pass things on to their designated heirs. Otherwise, every dispute between heirs, every contested will, every contested end-of-life "gift" would carry the potential for bloodshed.

The specific laws that we have right now could be written differently, and things like inheritance could work differently, but you cannot escape the fact that they are all just creatures of the human mind.

That is, until those concepts begin to be encoded in and enforced by machines.
I think behaving as if there is no free will is such a change from how I was raised and how 99.99% of society believes and functions, would require some Buddha-level strength of will, which I don't possess.

It's so different than all the constructs we've created, you can kind of throw "generally regarded" out the window, frankly :) (don't mean that to sound harsh if it does). All of psychology would need to be rewritten. By me? I guess?

The 3rd option is to try and convince myself of what I regard as a lie (that we have free will), which is also difficult, but probably easier?
The article doesn't make it clear what happened to the, apparently, two publications at the source of the defamatory statements, only that Google no longer include those publications in its results in Quebec (specifically). Did the plaintiff find who was making the false statements and have them brought to justice?
Falsely accusing somebody of a criminal act is defamation per se in the US.

I'm unsure if a US court would agree that search results would constitute defamation as well, but it certainly seems possible, especially if the search query was entirely neutral (i.e. just looking up this victim's name).

I don't really like make, but I use it in all my projects as a bootstrap. You can enter any of my project and do make help and get some help. Also make server will launch a server (static server, phoenix, rails, webpack, esbuild, whatever) and print the port. I just use it to wrap language specific tools. This way I can type the 3 same commands to get started in any of my projects as I change tooling and language 3 times a day :P

That fails to illuminate very much.

Also, ring != elevator.

Probably still want to engineer it such that destruction is controlled rather than uncontrollable, but the biggest issue with it being destroyed would be no longer having it; the damage would be mostly within a meter or so of where it lands, which isn't great but it's also not devastating unless you happen to be that close.

Think a very long I-beam falling off a skyscraper during construction, not an asteroid.
The decision (in English) is available online [0]. Essentially the Court determined that provisions of Quebec's Civil Code relating to defamation were applicable to the case and not US Federal or State law.

This is absolutely fantastic, I'm sharing it with everyone I can :)
This is a rational take. And worth considering, fwiw I agree with it

I'm distressed further by other threads that begin to point this out being derailed with comments like "America should to keep to its own borders" and unrelated factoids about oil wars. This is not just an American precedent.
And more and more legislation against revenge porn. There have been so many subreddits dedicated to non consensual intimate media and most of their content was hosted on imgur.

People are framing this as an attack against sex but in reality our automated moderation tools can't know if consent sas given by the models and human moderation is too costly.

The rise of AI porn is giving more power than ever to people who wish to hurt women.

There are still plenty of places to share NSFW content but they're moving towards models of consent verification like PornHub.
No, this is called looking beyond the single issue in front of us, to see the broader trend which confronts us

Some day it may be fines for carrying links tho content that says mean things about a noted UK author with controversial opinions, under the notoriously plaintiff-favorable UK libel law, often used to bully critics. Some day it will be fines for US-visible links to content critical of the Chinese Communist Party, and other threats to its business.

I loved my Amiga 500. All my friends at the time also had one.

And then later on my Amiga 1200 with an actual hard drive. With the then excellent Amiga Workbench.

Whilst I tinkered with Basic on C64 and the 500 it was with EasyAmos on the 1200 I properly started my programming interest.
I switched to dvorak over 10 years ago. It was worth it for RSI issues I was developing. I did 2 things that helped tremendously. I printed out the new keyboard layout and taped it to the wall above and behind my monitor. Instead of looking at the keyboard, I would look at the layout on the wall. I also taped a piece of paper to the top of the keyboard, and put my hands on the keys with the paper draped over my hands, so the qwerty keys of the keyboard would not distract me, and I was forced to look at the wall sign instead of the keys. I spent an entire weekend typing the sentence "The three lazy dogs jumped over the quick brown fox." That weekend got me to a slow but manageable speed. Over the next couple weeks I improved in terms of speed and accuracy, and now I can touch type faster than on qwerty, with no RSI issues.

A few years later I switched to a split keyboard which helped even more, especially with correct typing posture. I now use an ErgoDox EZ keyboard, with my own custom dvorak based layout, and am very happy over all. I can switch back to qwerty when necessary, but it takes a good 5 minutes for it to click in my head and then I can touch type, though not as fast because I am rusty at it.
Sort of related: about once a week when I'm watching TV using Apple TV, when I try to use ESPN or Live TV apps, instead of just coming on they display a QR code for me to scan with the option of going to some website to log in. Since I do not keep my phone with me when I settle in to watch TV, this requires me to get up and go get the phone or use my computer to proceed. Very, very annoying. Why should I have to have a second device at hand to watch TV?

That you make no distinction between those who are rich from business and those who did it via literal conquest and armies shows how futile and childish your point is.
It's still an absurd punishment for that crime.
Keeping the metaphor, it's responding to the question of "Do you know Joe?" with "Yes, and that guy Bob over there says Joe is a pedophile" whenever asked.
> Size saving CLI commands

For those unfamiliar with the Amiga culture, it's worth pointing out that this frequently includes shaving bytes off tools. I remember more than once disassembling some CLI utility to strip out a few bytes here and there (seeing the poor, wasteful quality output of early C compilers delayed my switch from asm to higher level languages by at least a couple of years...).

Not just for the sake of saving disk space, but because you'd either make them resident in memory or copy them to a RAM: disk so you could more easily swap floppies and still have your tools available, and when you had 512KB or 1MB of RAM, every little bit made a difference.
Holy crap those are amazing! (and some are terrifying)

While freedom of speech is protected in the United States, it is not an absolute right, and defamation laws are an example of a legal restriction on speech that is permissible under the First Amendment. Defamation laws are common amongst most democracies that enjoy some level of free speech.
> so if you are catholic, you don't believe in the bible but in the particular interpretation.

Any reading of the Bible is an interpretation. It makes no sense to speak of ANY text, or any spoken word, apart from interpretation. All of them are interpreted. So the question really is: do you have the correct, or at least a licit, interpretation? The Catholic Church interprets Scripture through the lens of unbroken tradition. Compare this with the 40,000 Protestant sects in the US alone, most of which interpret things however they want. That doesn't even touch on the question of translation, as well as how one translation may render something more accurately than another.

And, of course, there's the other bit, namely, that the Bible was compiled by the Catholic Church, again, through the lens of tradition. How else are you going to determine which gospels are reliable and worthy of being made canonical, which books are apocryphal, which are fabrications, and so on, if you don't rely on something parallel to and 'outside' the text? (Luther did somehow manage to convince himself that he was qualified to 'tweak' the Bible, but I'll leave it at that.)

How ‘Mosh’ Rescued Me from Connection Hell: A Remote Work Story
Constrained generation i've found to produce the most creative-like results.

Example:
The stench of smoke and blood filled their nostrils as they crouched behind a fallen tree, its splintered trunk providing the only cover from the relentless hail of bullets, their heart hammering in their chest, threatening to burst free, as sweat mingled with dirt on their face, catching the frightened gaze of their comrades, their eyes wide with terror yet burning with determination, knowing they were all in this together with no turning back, seizing the opportunity as the gunfire briefly subsided, yelling "Move up! We've got to take that hill!" their voice breaking through the deafening cacophony of war, breaking cover without hesitation, boots pounding the earth as they ran through the hellish landscape, explosions erupting all around, the concussive force rattling their bones and sending tremors through the ground beneath their feet, seeing a fellow soldier fall, his anguished cry piercing their soul, diving to his side, dragging him into the meager cover of a shallow trench, his blood staining their hands, no time to mourn, continuing their charge, every muscle screaming in protest, lungs pleading for air, cresting the hill, the enemy bunker coming into view, sprinting towards it with a final surge of adrenaline, their hand shaking as they lobbed a grenade inside, the explosion tearing through the bunker, debris flying like deadly shrapnel, winning this small battle, but the weight of the war still pressing down on their shoulders, gazing out at the smoke-choked battlefield, wondering how many more battles they'd have to endure before the war was truly over.
Of course it is.

You see all those people charged with defamation for calling GWB a murderer?
You are missing the part where Google ranks search results. If you Google "Joe" and the first result is "Bob says Joe is a pedophile", Google is implicitly saying that is the single most important result about Joe.

Thus, I reject this argument unless Google is willing to argue its search result ranking is no better than random chance and that results on the first page are equally as relevant and useful as those on the last.
You're defaming the plaintiff as greedy. It's not enough be falsely accused of being a pedo for 15 years?

The problem is that people trust the internet too much, removing false information would make that worse. People will think ‘if that wasn’t true then they’d be forced to remove it, since it wasn’t removed it must be true’. Maybe the solution is more fake news not less of it.

> You can't sue someone for mimicking someone else's voice well enough to be confused for the mimicked creator's voice.

You can sue someone for Financial/ID theft and impersonation though. Many shady artists were (and still are) using celebrity names in their track titles to get attention for their music releases prior to this. The problem is services like Spotify and YouTube (content search) primarily working based on keywords, and also in those same types of music services only being geared towards major industry artists rather than giving everyone an even playing field to have their music heard... It encourages scam and spam environments, as well as impersonation by artists accounts for the tiny profit they pay.

By posting music with the "emulated" voice in it (which is actually tiny samples of the artist's actual voice), the Ai tools allow and encourage people to create songs and title them as if they were made by the actual artist. In the emulator, they list the authentic artist's name as an option, which technically highlights that they are complicit in facilitating production of music that impersonates the named artist.

Imagine if you're an emerging artist and beginning to gain traction in your career, then all of a sudden, because of an Ai web site, hundreds of people start flooding streaming services with low quality, parody, and even good music using your name, while also collecting royalties off of it... That can ruin a musician's brand and cause damage to the artist's reputation that they can't recover from. There are legal protections against that, even without copyrights, but it can often involve a lengthy court battle.

I'm a musician myself, I am not a lawyer, I do my best to stay out of court.

It's better for everyone if everyone simply puts out their own original music, or properly credited samples and/or remixes with artist consent and permission.

Given that this has been going on since 2007 this doesn't seem like the kind of frivilous lawsuit just going after Google's money. In fact it looks like the plaintiff made good faith attempts (and partially successful ones) with Google on a number of occasions.
They are indeed reasonably good for things where it doesn't really matter if it falls down, but I'd be laughed out of the room if I suggested we built a business on top of second-hand thin clients, doubly so when I turned up to a client site carrying on with two USB ethernet adapters and a USB LTE modem hanging off the back to put in a machine room.

A programming language is made of a long list of trade-offs, meaning that you could invent hundreds of new ones without really repeating yourself.

Please go and invent new languages! Yes, most of them will be ill-designed and will not go anywhere, but this is how you make progress.

As always the Internet will scream at you that you are wasting your time, or that you are somehow fragmenting the ecosystem, but this is the usual case of strangers feeling that they should have a say in what you work on. Ignore it.

Personally I'd love to see two languages:

- A modern Lisp. Builtin concurrency (green threads of course), gradual typing, native compiler. And I more and more feel like it should be a Lisp-1 (please don't cancel me). It should be the perfect language for exploratory programming and of course symbolic programming.

- An improved Erlang. Proper records and strings, modern tooling, modern standard library. And please make it decently fast. It should be the one obvious choice to write server software.

Hopefully I someday will get the time to work on it.
The fact that some comments are defending Google is insane to me. My only guess is that they are all from USA and have a very "american" view of things.

Google has an ethical and moral responsibility to not allow its platform to be used for defamatory purposes.

While Google is an American company, it operates in many countries around the world and should be held accountable for its actions in each of these countries. The issue is not about one country telling another what to do but rather about a company being held accountable for its actions in a particular jurisdiction. The Canadian court system has the responsibility to enforce Canadian laws and protect the rights of its citizens, including the Montrealer in this case.

If you don't agree with that, don't offer your service in Canada.
