100%, but I'd argue that the song is a bop because:

1) people know the beat or the artist's voice

2) people know the song because it was promoted to a wide audience

3) it was promoted to a wide audience because the artist had talent (hopefully) plus a compelling image / story that was sold to producers, investors, record labels, DJs, etc.

There are examples of extremely talented musicians playing in public spaces and few stop to listen: https://www.classicfm.com/artists/joshua-bell/violin-busking...

> In total, Bell made $52.17 (£42.18). And this includes a $20 note from someone who recognised him.

Banksy demonstrated this effect too by selling original artwork for $60 in NYC and almost no one bought it: https://www.thedailybeast.com/banksys-biggest-trick-yet-sell...

> At 6 p.m., he closes the table, making only $420 for the day. A limited edition print of Love Is In The Air -- the image of the man throwing a hand grenade of flowers, which was stationed on the center of the table -- sold for $249,000 at Bonham's last June.

> It’s the classic example of art without the frame—and it raises the important question: how much does our experience of art rely on context?

> We linger on The Mona Lisa because it’s framed in the Louvre, behind bullet proof glass and protected by security guards. Outside the Louvre, we walk right past framed copies of the same painting. Context is everything.
No, a better subject for that analogy would be software engineers complaining about ChatGPT's coding abilities. Wagons & cars are both a matter of mechanical engineering. A digital calculator didn't displace pen-and-paper computers in the way that power drills didn't displace carpenters. Transcribing and operating a printing press are both rote procedures where the skill involved achieves accuracy and the materials involved are mostly the same. But operating Stable Diffusion and painting in PhotoShop with a stylus require wildly different modes of operation, and enjoying or being good at the latter hardly suggests that one would enjoy or be good at the former.

This sort of image generation (especially extrapolating probable upgrades & improvements of just the next few years) displaces artists without providing an upgrade path. It shouldn't take much empathy to understand how that's frustrating and scary that must be for them.

I think pxoe's expression of frustration is totally reasonable. The engineers who made this stuff could have focused on using AI to enable new possibilities, instead of undercutting existing possibilities (to create new markets instead of overtaking existing ones). They could have used 100% consensual training data, but instead felt entitled to exploit a loophole/ambiguity in the social contract under which artists have been sharing their work on the internet.

A more appropriate analogy would be, this sounds a lot like social movements complaining about capitalist co-opting of their symbols, e.g. the use of "communist" rhetoric to build oligarchies (or the sale of "save the earth" mugs made from oil-derived plastics, etc.). Even that isn't a perfect analogy, though, as the co-opted output wasn't itself the displaced work-product, although it does a better job of capturing the emotional side of it, the sense of betrayal. Ultimately, I don't think it's productive to reduce the reaction to the decisions behind Stable Diffusion etc. to a single analogy, and it shouldn't be so hard to say "sorry, you're right, this is bad for you and good for me and you have every right to express your frustration over that irreversible decision".
The point that Theo de Raadt is making is that this line of thinking is wrong*. Most of the FSF/GPL advocates never seem to look at the why's around people disliking their approach. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/1/102 as an example. OpenBSD helped the Linux project dual license the ath5k driver. They were thanked by GPL advocates illegally trying to strip the BSD license after the fact. Leaves a bad taste, and one that many of us won't forget. You can have your forced freedom.

* "GPL fans said the great problem we would face is that companies would take our BSD code, modify it, and not give back. Nope—the great problem we face is that people would wrap the GPL around our code, and lock us out in the same way that these supposed companies would lock us out. Just like the Linux community, we have many companies giving us code back, all the time.

But once the code is GPL'd, we cannot get it back."

EDIT: The pejoratives are why the FSF message gets lost on an awful lot of people. I admire what they are trying to achieve, the manner in which they go about it makes me not want to engage.
all we need is a programmable voice assistant to which you can add custom voice commands that run your own programs.
"The best anti-drone load out" in the context of FPV quadcopters is going to be a radio transmitter configured to overwhelm their video or hijack control through frequency hopping attacks. The marginal cost of taking down the drone is virtually zero, radio jamming provides a continuous wide area of denial without user input and can't be overwhelmed by a swarm of attacking drones like a point defense turret could be.

The RC control channel is unencrypted and the video feed is analog. If I'm being attacked by FPV drones I'll take a freshly certified ham radio operator over a world champion duck hunter any day.

I think they are mostly talking about the ones that carry water much (all?) of the year in the central valley, rather than the ones in L.A. proper. So I don't think skaters will have much to complain about.
At that point it's no different than, say, graffiti. Can only be of so much artistic value, and certainly not worth more than a glance.
It’s always frustrating to me to see an inverter in these setups. All of your digital devices actually run on DC current! Your computer, monitor, phone charger…

Inverters consume energy just being on, whether current is being drawn or not. And they’re expensive!

Without the inverter, a solar panel+battery setup is super simple and I’m curious to see a movement towards low-voltage circuits in homes.

You can easily power all of the lights in your home with a solar panel connected to a 12v battery. Double in size and you can power your TV and router as well.

This isn’t going to save you a significant amount of money though. It’s just interesting. Big ticket items like your water heater or air conditioner consume a lot more power and will probably need an inverter, etc.
Funny enough, I ended up with the opposing view - history doesn't matter, narratives do. During the last year I learned about propaganda, psy ops and myths much more than I knew before. And at the risk of sounding as an edgy teenager, I can vouch for the phrase "History is written by victors" which stopped being a platitude for me and became a part of my worldview
>>A single server can cost over 100K. Network gear can costs way more.

"Can" sure... likely to for most orgs no. Certainly not for someone running a 5 figure cloud bill...

as a reference, our standard compute server we use on prem is $12,000 including a 5 year support contract.

> At a certain point, you might outgrow someones else's cloud and build your own,

If your buying $100K servers, and $100K network devices, I pretty sure you are at the point
"We were told" seems to always preface failure and disappointment.

How do people blindly trust random figures of authority? It's mind boggling.
> A lot of these objections are a bit odd. What's your reason for preferring ad-supported content?

I don't like ad-supported content and hate tracking with a passion. However, it's reasonable to say that, at least at the moment, advertising is

- easier (and not just technically, but also from the bureaucratic side!) to implement than donations or "real" payments, and note that some countries like Germany make a legal distinction between these when it comes to taxes, and mis-classifying income as donations comes with severe penalties

- guaranteed, predictable income for authors

- zero effort for the reader

- zero direct, financial risks for the reader

The result of this is the current, mostly ad supported crap infrastructure we currently have on the Internet.

Personally, I'd advocate for drastic banking regulation and tax code changes to make paying for online content easier so that regular people can take advantage too, without going through middlemen extracting rent everywhere:

- for clearly non-commercial content which most personal blogs/vlogs/podcasts fall into, completely exempt donations from tax and other bureaucratic (AML, KYC, invoices) requirements

- create a globally usable (!) financial network with no censorship other than what's illegal in the recipient's country, low caps on transfer fees (0.1%), real-time transfers and "deposit only" accounts, so that transferring money across countries actually gets realistic, and I can offer my bank account number without having to fear someone draining my account. SEPA gets pretty close to that, but it's not joined with the US, Australia or Asia so at the moment there is no alternative for cross-continental donations other than to rely on PayPal and friends.

Interesting to me that their IG posts usually get decent amounts of engagement but comparably, their AI ads failed miserably for engagement.
Imprisoned people (especially political prisoners) are apt to cooperate, either breaking out or radicalizing everyone who comes into contact with them. There's abundant examples of this, both from history and in gang recruitment/membership patterns in contemporary prisons.

The totalitarian brainwashing definitely serves ideology, but the technique is not unique to any particular ideology, any more than the concept of a loop is unique to any programming language. Pre-communist imperial Chinese society was pretty totalitarian in its own right. Over a longer historical scale Chinese history abounds with examples of hyper-authoritarianism, eg printing the emperor's full name in a dictionary was grounds for the execution of your entire family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_taboo
Sorry, I should have been clearer, totally agree about the podcast being a poorer source on the reality and history, and just not trustworthy on the big picture. The article you shared is a fantastic resource, but I would think better of it if it had laid out the sort of strong, pragmatic argument you made here about teachers' autonomy. The article really doesn't want to question the status quo, which would be fine for a historical overview, but feels incongruous with the constant needling of anyone who happens to be pushing phonics (whether because of concerns about dyslexia or neuroscience).

I also didn't mean to suggest those terms were invented by that article, just that they reflect the perspective of the people who use them. I'm assuming initial proponents of the "simple view of literacy" didn't describe it that way, just as we might call "whole language" something different if it ends up being discredited (cf. the focus on cueing in TFA).
It's a shame how relevant this still is
TL;DR: they want to rip you off less aggressively, so you don't ditch them on the short term.

Cloud computing has become so expensive that so many companies are moving away from it. And for good reason.

The only providers that are actually reasonable on pricing at the moment are OVH and Hetzner... by an order of magnitude (or two) cheaper than Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, Vercel, etc.

Trusting for any of the latter companies to not rip you off is like trusting a wolf to take care of the sheep herd. It just doesn't make any sense, as their incentives are many times at the opposite spectrum than their customers.
Then don't install them.
I would think it will vary greatly by location and status. I'm 34 and in a fairly low income area / states. The only people I know that aren't drowning in credit card debt are people that manage to be financially responsible enough to never get one at all.

I thought myself fairly responsible until the pandemic hit and now I'm nearly $18K in the hole on credit cards I'm crawling out from under slowly.
Maybe my queries are not difficult enough. Do you have an example?
for BGA's, via-in-pad (plated over) makes decoupling caps almost too easy; do a VIPPO in each BGA pad; for the power pads, you can place the cap directly on the other side of the board. In many cases, the power pads are arranged next to corresponding ground pads and you can select a capacitor whose footprint exactly bridges those two vias.
Good post. There's an interesting tension in software between the cynical and idealistic. On the one hand, there's the notion that writing software is a craft and that what we're doing has an aesthetic component. On the other hand there's a mercenary attitude; we're guns for hire, here to make our fortune, and our loyalty to the job lasts only as long as the paychecks clear.
You're right, I misread the "He began working with preschoolers" bit as professionally teaching the kids.

> you will never understand the experience of a teacher by experimenting on students

I'm not sure to follow, wouldn't you at least understand your own experience as a teacher by actually teaching to students ?
Has anyone actually verified that the song was generated by AI? It should be trivial for a good singer to mimic the voice and style of a famous artist and claim it is AI as a way to get some notoriety.
North American style suburbs are artificially subsidized by cities and not sustainable for society. A series of policy decisions at all levels of government have artificially made the suburban lifestyle cheaper than it otherwise would be, but sooner or later, something has gotta give.

I may be out of the loop with prices but 2000€ sounds like a lot for such a small setup. Maybe the tradeoffs of going smaller are worse than I thought, but for ~3500€ I got what I roughly estimate to be worth about 3x as much in generation and storage.

If you say. But I doubt it. Now, could this happen to others - yes, completely plausible.
> YouTube may have taken down the videos but they also allow him (because of the DMCA) to file a counter-claim and make a claim that the videos aren't infringing.

Naive of you to think that works.

When you counter-claim, YouTube basically asks the original claimant "Are you sure?", and of course they're gonna say yes.

Exibit A: https://youtu.be/z4AeoAWGJBw - TLDW: Someone filed a false copyright claim against TheFatRat on one of his own songs. TheFatRat counterclaimed, and the dispute was not approved. YouTube does not at any point make a judgement call.
One reason for teaching so long using a failed method is public school teachers are not accountable for failure. There is zero downside for them failing (they just blame the parents) and no incentive whatsoever to do better.

The fix is simple. Give teachers a $1000 bonus for every student of theirs that performs at grade level at the end of the year.

It'll be the cheapest, most effective way to improve kids' education.
I wouldn't equate the obvious overstep of drag policing with the rather more complex issue of abortion. It's not at all clear that "viability" is anything more than a hacky placeholder definition for when human life begins. I personally do agree that abortion should be legal. I can't however help but reach the conclusion that it's still the willful termination of a human life (read: murder). Justifiable murder, but murder nonetheless. I can therefore sympathize with those who hold the view that it should be illegal.

Also, re: drag policing, obviously wrong-headed as it is, there seems to be a lot of popular backlash against cultural indoctrination by schools. Schools should endeavour to soberly, objectively teach children about the world, and leave defining right and wrong to parents as much as possible. As much as we may disagree, you should be entitled to raise your child with a racist or homophobic worldview. Trying to correct for this is not the government's job. It's that pesky American individualism again.
What age? Like, 3 years?

On the other hand though, Chinchilla and multimodal approaches already showed how later AIs can be improved beyond throwing petabytes of data at them.

It is all about variety and quality from now on I think. You can teach a person all about the color zyra but without actually ever seeing it, they will never fully understand that color.
I wish it was less administered considering it's history and its proponents often ulterior motives. Also because of the rigorous debunking of it by multiple, honest neruscientists I've worked with have shared with me. But I didn't ask the question for the purpose of a debate about its validity, so I think we can agree to disagree on our stance to it.

But I want to thank you for sharing your opinion/bias and the background of it. I can see your point, as I also (due family circumstances) also struggled academically when I were younger and scoring high on those tests used to give me a confidence boost.
The take isn't exactly wrong.

There is a lot of stuff that you see come out of google and you have to wonder. Why is this successful in this environment? They have a lot of people that I would say it's fair to claim they're high IQ, but low on experience and the ability to build something wonderful. (Which is why it's frustrating to see their arch [and AWS for the matter] build weird components and force their practices in the industry)

What would be great to see.. foster an engineering culture based on experience there. Encourage their engineers to contribute to the world. (Rather than waiting and spinning out large projects like K8s)
The article makes no mention of international law, or of extraterritoriality. Could they not find an appropriate expert to quote ?
Which is why I literally ignore 99.99% of what comes down the shit pipes.
This nails it (I used to be a PM, now I'm an engineer)
The PMs job has become so much about process, that any 'product sense' is completely disregarded because it can't be measured objectively.

Truly great products e.g. the original iPhone, rarely have PMs
Wait a second. I'm only providing examples to better the discussion and now you're calling me disingenuous. I'm not shilling anything. Nor am I saying anything isn't without risk. Putting words into my mouth isn't cool either.
I'm no expert but doesn't the architecture of minigpt4 that's on the front page right now give some indication of what the future might look like?
It is very weird that we think of ourselves as individuals, and not at minimum a part of some small collective. Those people ignore all evolutionary history that we didn't develop as individuals at all.
> Why does the Docker VM not emulate across architectures?

Because it's easier to use a CPU emulator on just one kernel a single VM than manage multiple VMs. So you can use QEMU just like Macs already use Rosetta for x86_64 macOS binaries on aarch64 macOS.

Linux further has a built-in feature for running 'foreign' (different CPU architecture, but still Linux) binaries (and more!) in a transparent way, so if you set this up in the VM you can invoke those x86_64 binaries as if they were native, without really thinking about it: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/binfmt-mi...

You can also use it with DOS and Windows binaries, or via Apple's Rosetta for Linux instead of QEMU for CPU emulation (and there are some other open-source competitors in that space as well). Pretty neat!
Its been a feature since at least the S9. Source: Had to 'fix' my girlfriend's phone only charging to 85%. Was a mystery how that setting got randomly enabled, really.

I can't recall for certain if my old S7 had that option but I don't think it did.
Like almost everything in the internet, not sure what "AI" is changing here.
People can get weird about solar panel placement and constantly come up with terrible ideas like putting them on cars (not enough surface area for any real power) or roadways (no!). Does anyone know if this idea is one of those terrible ones or is genuinely feasible?
Honey, I run a Mastodon. At least half of the server blocks I do come from my users saying "hey have you seen this post on #fediblock yet". If I stopped dealing with that stuff, my users would migrate their accounts (and their donations for the server upkeep) to another server that's better at keeping up with that. They've got "power over their own identity" without having to deal with the network effects of using Yet Another Social Media Protocol that's completely incompatible with existing open protocols; part of their power over their identity includes delegating me as the social plumber who maintains the Asshole Filter on our social space.
my bad, i thought it was common knowledge but it appears it is not.
