That's great and all, "training", "learning", etc. are terms of art.

How does that change the fact that there is no substantial reproduction of the works in the resulting weights, or in the "output" of these models with the weights?

Can you point to me where it's illegal to take copyrighted works and "train" neural networks on them, as long as there's no substantial reproduction of the works in the output of that process, or in the output of a particular configuration of "trained" and "frozen weights"?
Laws don’t grant rights. They take them away. You generally are allowed to do something if it doesn’t violate a law. “Copyright” is not the right to copy, but rather a protection against other people copying and distributing your work.

There is no law that says you cannot train AI models on copyrighted data.
The trick with a newly created google account (assuming the regular account creation flow) is to give a phone number at signup and then remove it. There are some non-standard account creation workflows that used to work without a phone number at all but I haven’t tired recently and iirc the last time I did it didn’t take long for google to require me to “verify” my humanity with a phone number.

Property taxes are not unconstitutional. Particularly state property taxes, which under even the most revisionist possible reading are very clearly not prohibited by the US constitution.

In fact, at least one type of property tax is specifically enumerated in the constitution (Section 9)! So the notion that the founding fathers believed property taxes were unconstitutional -- while also enumerating a specific type of property tax in the constitution -- is ridiculous.

IMO, if an extreme SCOTUS attempted to kill all forms of property taxes, a collective decision by legislatures and the executive to selectively ignore Marbury v Madison would be a more likely outcome than the end of property taxes.

In general: the idea that the judiciary can "strike down" unconstitutional laws is much more tenuous than most of the things that fringe constitutional theories consider to be unconstitutional. I think this is where fantasies like ending property taxes or sovereign citizen stuff fall apart: if we're going to stretch the meaning of the constitution that far, then why continue putting so much unenumerated power into the judiciary?

Also: taxing income without taxing property is ridiculously stupid public policy. We should be doing exactly the opposite: rewarding hard work and severely punishing lazy lay-abouts who sit around on generational properties instead of contributing to society by working and earning an income.

Bringing up episodic television shows in the 90s brings up an interesting point. For 90s episodic television, script submissions were open to the public. Each show still had a team of staff writers like they do today, but the staff writers would mostly write the really important episodes (like finales and two-parters). The bulk of the episodes would be freelance scripts, with the staff writers editing for consistency and adding an extra scene or two to hint at continuing plot threads. In today's binge-able format, almost every episode is written by the staff writers. (They might still let someone with connections, like an actor on the show looking to make a career change, submit an episode.)

Sure, 90+% of submitted episode pitches were probably terrible, but that was fine because show runners could choose the best episodes from the slush heap. Now each series only orders roughly as many episode scripts as a season has episodes. If a writer has a 75-80% hit rate, the show can't discard the bad episodes.
Sure, just your comment read as if that it's "ended" is a bad thing.

> The network effect works even if the network is relatively small.

Let's do some wild guesstimation here.

Sturgeon's Law says that 90% of everything is crap. Let's apply that to social connections and assume that any given person only cares about interacting with 10% of any given crowd. Let's actually be even more generous and assume people are an order of magnitude pickier than that: for most people, 99% of other people are crap.

Meanwhile, Dunbar's number says that a human only cares about socializing with up to 150 people. Dunbar's number itself is kind of weird pseudoscience, but it seems reasonable to assume that there is an upper bound (or at least diminishing returns), so let's be generous and go an order of magnitude higher and say that a given person won't care about interacting with more than 1,500 specific people.

Putting these together, it suggests that being a member of a network of 1.5 million individuals ought to suffice to give anyone all the social connections they could ever want.

Of course, it took silly reasoning to arrive at this precise number, but I think there's an element of truth to it. The limits of the human ability to socialize mean that, beyond a certain point, the size of the network itself is no longer the limiting factor on the ability to find people to socialize with.

Better, but still carbs. It's just harder to eat a lot of those. I would challenge "whole grains" actually being any better at all.

Honestly, I think the whole fiber intake stuff is bs. Anecdotally, I feel much better on a low fiber high protein diet than anything else. So does the rest of my family.

My opinion on carbs is that you should only eat them when you're going to burn them quickly. That's what they're for, to give you a big energy boost. They're not for consuming and then sitting on your ass.
Knee-jerk Internet commentators think any packet going anywhere is a breach of their privacy which is funny because that's sort of the point of a network.

For me, this particular issue isn't about privacy, it's that these companies get to make their products better using my data and I get nothing out of it. Sort of how they train their AIs.

Privacy has been popularly re-defined to be "any data." Remember when people's name, address, and phone number was published in a big yellow and white book and delivered to everyone's driveway?

What we should want is compensation for the use of our non-PII data and a restriction on information about us that can be used to harm us, financial, medical, etc. to be restricted.

Chrome not telling Google I went to Amazon.com would be great, but Amazon knows I went there and if I use 8.8.8.8 so does Google anyway.
I think this is just another manifestation of the "office hours phenomenon":

1. You don't understand a concept
2. You go to your professor's office hours with a question and ask them to explain.
3. They draw some squiggles on the board and walk you through the issue
4. You say "Aha! I get it! Thank you for explaining!"
5. Two steps out the door you've completely lost the idea and need help again.

You haven't internalized the idea, you're still just attached to someone else's idea. To understand something fully, you have to really take it in and play with it; find the holes and the limitations of the model.
The sad story of the SUSPENDED VILLAGE built on a BRIDGE
Isn't that what I said? The logic above would work the same for cruise control. If you ship a bad cruise control or other automation system, you get sued and lose. Toyota paid out more than a billion dollars a few years back due to[1] problems with their fly-by-wire accelerator design. It's not like you can't punish an automaker for safety issues. They get sued all the time, successfully.

Except, notably, the one you want to yell about the most. I'm just saying that should maybe be part of your analysis.

Look. The cars are safe. We've been having the same argument, again and again, for years and years now. People show up in these threads just taking as a given that these systems are unsafe, and refuse to adjust that prior as these cars become some of the most popular products as a market.

What is the defacto "hobbyist tinker-er" standard for "I want to deploy this Docker thing into the cloud and play with it on the Internet"? There's got to be some one-click deploy solution where it goes to a Github repo, picks up a Helm chart, deploys it to a k8s cluster or something?

`rescue` also uses the match operator, which I found useful in the past when wrapping libraries that didn't expose a useful exception type hierarchy. In particular I seem to recall that the "pg" gem would throw `PG::Error`, with the actual error details from the Postgres server only accessible in the `message`. I wrote a little library that allowed me to create "virtual" exception types that could match based on the message or the result of an arbitrary proc (if the underlying exception class offered a `code` or `reason` attribute, for instance).

For all its (sometimes deserved) reputation as a big and complex language, Ruby is actually pretty good at making sure that language features are made with the same underlying building blocks, and thus two things that look similar probably work similarly as well.
A lot of Pleroma users have different politics than Mastodon users because of the history of infighting between the developers, but this doesn't change the fact that people making stereotypes about the views of users based on the software their instance uses 1) hurts single user instances of Pleroma which are much easier to run than Mastodon and 2) makes the whole ActivityPub network more toxic and cliquish

If one software type is giving you more "attrition" than the others you might be part of a clique

That said I don't know why anyone would assume that the Fediverse would be better moderated than Twitter when the architecture of the protocol makes regulating "attrition" harder, not easier.

Estimates are by definition most certainly wrong. And despite that, you think your high estimates are better than my low estimates. By your own logic, you're wrong and lacking an argument. Claiming that coal is better than nuclear is wrong by your own logic.

Also, please show where I say that coal is the only alternative or shut up. I'm only talking about coal because it's such a weak hill you chose to die on.
> It is revenue, because Starbucks received the money already.

I initially upvoted your besieged comment because that seemed to make sense, and well, it was the actual title of the piece (Starbucks Claims $181M in Revenue From Unused Gift Cards and Loyalty Credits) and appeared to be quite unambiguous in the article ("Starbucks reportedly claimed $181 million in revenue from money on gift cards and loyalty accounts that customers didn’t spend in fiscal year 2021 — a figure that amounted to about 1% of its sales and 4.3% of its net income during the year.").

However, following a twinge of remorse and uncertainty after downvoting rahimnathwani's reply, a quick search revealed that he is correct:

How to Properly Recognize Gift Card Revenue[1]: "Companies cannot recognize revenue upon the initial sale of a gift card because of a key revenue recognition principle that states that revenue is recognized when or as an entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer."

Balancing act: how to account for your restaurant gift cards[2]: "Gift card purchases are generally classified as a deferred revenue liability. The cash received from the sale is paid upfront but does not qualify for revenue recognition as no goods or services have been exchanged. Gift card purchases are recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as revenue as the gift card is redeemed in the future."

Happily the window was still open to undown, but the experience was a great lesson in not racing to judgement or downvoting.

What happened to making the world a better place because it’s beneficial to everyone? Not everything has to be election politics game theory.
DR Horton (largest US home builder) is doing something similar right now. Instead of lowering the prices on their homes, they are including incentives by buying down the interest rates on the mortgages of their home buyers. This helps keep the prices of housing higher, which likely allows them to keep borrowing against their inventory, avoid credit calls, and await the Fed to lower rates and return to the good old days.
Every so often, companies I've worked for have given me Starbucks or Amazon cards as rewards. I have no use for either of them, though, so typically I give them to someone else. Amazon cards are easy -- they go to my (adult) children.

Starbucks are more difficult, though. I sometimes have trouble giving them away, then they get lost or accidentally thrown away. I bet Starbucks has made more money off me from that than from me purchasing their products.

> The last attempt to fix it (common core) mostly emphasized memorizing arithmetic facts.

Memorizing facts is the foundation of all learning. When you add 7+7 in your head do you instantly know the answer is 14 because of "understanding" or because you memorized over all the years.

Also the current US education system strictly deemphasizes memorization. Instead it pushes for "understanding" (conveniently a concept that is not measurable).

> Like anybody doesn't have multiple calculators in their pockets.

Ok and?

China and India are producing the smartest people in the world and their education systems strongly emphasize memorization. Understanding comes when you've memorized enough information that you can connect the dots.

Once you get to advanced math it's basically impossible to understand from the start and you can only rely on memorization until you've memorized enough and experienced enough that it finally clicks.

Amazon net profit was $278mm in Q4 2022. That's peanuts for a company of that size.

Amazon profits are not the same as company valuation. People can value a company highly and the company can make few profits (at least for a period of time). Bezos has made a ton of money because of the valuation, not profits.
Quality over quantity completely ignores differences in taste. One person's best show in the universe is another's torturous crap they'd avoid like the plague even if they were paid for watching.

It's perfectly possible to ignore that and still aim for some focused quality, but that's the path to becoming a niche operation. Might as well switch to pay per view.

The main challenge streaming networks are facing is that there is no attention on-ramp now that nobody is zapping through linear tv anymore who might get hooked on an earlier iteration of the franchise. When I know that I am multiple installments behind in $franchise, my willingness to pay for the latest one is zero. And if earlier ones are the same price as the latest, they will feel overpriced. That's why the focused "I subscribe x because of some specific production y" that would be implied by quality over quantity doesn't have much future, they need habitual subscription where discovery just happens.
Well.... we're still a primitive society so.... not sure what you are trying to say.

Show HN: Amounts 3, an update to my 10 year old iPhone expense tracking app
Amounts 3 is a complete rewrite of my nearly 10 year old expense tracking iOS app, Amounts. Amounts is a manual personal expense tracker designed to be local first and private - none of your personal data goes to any server other than your own iCloud account, if you enable cloud sync.

The app is completely free to use, but does feature a subscription for more dedicated users (More customization options, better export options.)

I built Amounts as a supplement to other apps like Mint. For me personally, I hate using cash, but also missed the "feeling" of spending money. When using cash you physically see the money going away and becoming less. Swiping a credit card is just too easy, so the idea is to introduce a slight bit of friction by manually inputing transactions right after purchase to make sure you are aware of how much you are spending. It is not an easy habit to get into, and not everyone needs it, but it can pay off if it works for you.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
We reversed the Chicago River 120 years ago, protected the Netherlands from flooding for centuries, blasted out the bed of the East River to make New York one of the most successful ports in history, laid at least one canal through every major ithsmus, and built dozens of reservoirs and irrigation systems into every hydrological ecosystem that touches a major population center. That's just water projects.
