> No creation of art is infringing

Unfortunately it is very tempting to read section 107 as you might read other text and assume that any one of the four parts of the test can protect you, but that is NOT how the law has been applied. You can be found to be infringing even without commercial exploitation. Each of the four parts of the test is evaluated and weighted with the other parts.

https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107

> "Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."
I was confused by this title because I only use uuid v4...the author covers that in the article, but I'm surprised that so many people use uuid v1. I thought v4 was the most popular, but that's probably just because I mostly work with my own code
The veiled threat of, "We have plans to invest $17 billion and create 13,000 jobs [in Florida] over the next ten years. I hope we’re able to do so." is interesting. Disney is making it clear that this is potentially only the beginning.
I guess someone is finding out.
Blackmail a majority of legislators. Bribing them is no good because you can be outspent. Appealing to logic is also no good because legislators rely on emotional demagoguery to get elected. Persuading the public is no good because a) collective action problems are hard, b) abstract issues are very hard to get traction around, c) many people are jealous of artists and derive irrational satisfaction from annoying them.
I'm not in CA, never have been. I'm in NYC. And the reason I'm in NYC is precisely because these high-paying jobs are available here, which is also why I'm not in the UK.
Yeah I agree that this isn't true, every popular uuid package uses V4 by default and all the places I've worked used V4 when they were using UUIDs.

Which country was first in space, and led space-related innovation?

Capitalism didn't invent or produce computers or milk. Workers did.

Capitalism is just a wealth distribution mechanism on top of innovation and labor that only concerns itself with how the wealth generated by workers is distributed.

We can choose other mechanisms of wealth distribution.

An interesting fallacy I see emerging is 'this system doesn't have animal-style intelligence, therefore it is lesser'

The entire point of neural nets is removing the biases of animal intelligence and letting the computer brute force solutions during training. We are now learning the early stages of the amazing things that can lead to.

From an outside perspective, it's not crazy to argue that symbolic reasoning is a crutch that animals developed since they are imperfect data collectors and limited by their wetware compute resources. Those constraints may not end up being meaningful for these models (to be clear, I don't even mean Transformers per se, we are likely to continue developing really clever model architectures that may look completely difference from what we know today).

I am 100% on board with the substance of you argument, but I'd encourage you to really think critically about the implications.

I am kind of in the same boat as you. I sit in a weird spot of thinking the current trend of AI is really impressive, but also thinking people are massively over-hyping it (with a smaller counter wave of some people really undermining it).

Having tangled with natural language processing and transformation in the past (always with dismal results), I can say it's one of the most annoying problems to tackle in computation, because natural languages have the horrible tentency of being very irregular (i.e.: they are a fucking mess).

ChatGPT capabilities to parse and generate fluent language never ceases to amaze me.

At the same time I don't think it's going to take over the world. It's more like a game-changer productivity tool (with all the upheaval that comes along when those appear) than the birth of Skynet.
I didn't miss it. I replied to your question of whether it matters: yes, it does.

Your point doesn't make any sense. ("_You_ can place the code wherever _you_ want when doing a literate programming style.") Literate programs are supposed to be read. Of course a writer can write however they want. You could write a book where everything that isn't a proper noun ends with an uppercase letter, except for proper nouns, which are all lowercase. It will be shit.
Funnily enough I've been in contact with the Apple Support Team complaining about the scam "GPT" apps.
Their reply, verbatim:

"We take reports of fraudulent behavior very seriously. Please provide the following so we can investigate the situation:

Screenshots of the behavior on the iTunes Store or App Store:
Names and links to the Apps:

After we receive this information, our team will investigate your concern."

Am I supposed to provide unpaid work for a $2 trillion company?

Also, worth mentioning the "tracking" of the "official" app:

The following data may be collected and linked to your identity:

Thanks, but no thanks!

Disclosure: I developed an iOS app that uses the OpenAI API, but somehow managed to not include any tracking.

AKME is free and doesn't include any tracking. The app supports a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model, as well as buying in-app tokens

This orthogonally reminds me of the time when there was a massive kerfuffle when Google registered .dev and then included the entire gTLD in Chrome manifests as HSTS [HTTP-Strict-Transport-Security] required (HTTPS only) and that silently broke a lot of company's LANs and developer environments. (To be fair, don't use gTLDs that don't exist in your LANs, that was always a broken thing to do, Google just made it more obvious in that case.)

Google has made some interesting choices in the sorts of gTLDs it has registered since it has had the capability to do so.

If China managed to have their oceangoing trade sanctioned by the US and their allies, who are they trading with? Russia? The Middle East? Both of which the country shares enormous land borders with. Not to mention that this would involve the US crushing its own economy in order to create the sanctions. About the only thing that could trigger a response like that would be an invasion of an allied country...

As far as a casus belli it is a stretch at best. The kind of thing you have to put forward because the population at large wouldn't accept your real reason.
Agreed - to an extent. IMO the current term of copyright is the primary issue - and the balance has tipped too far in favour of copyright holders; This case is a good example of the ridiculousness of that state - the artist has expired and is no longer able to enjoy the benefits of his work - yet he descendants expect to continue to profit from his work - which seems unreasonable and detrimental to society.
HTML and CSS + jQuery or vanilla js is still great. You can use PHP to load headers and footers if the site is large. This is for a normal website with basic functionality. You don't need any framework. There's nothing wrong with using FTP to upload your files. Put your stylesheets in one file for desktop size and one file for mobile size, maybe one for dark mode as well.

I set up Apache to treat HTML files the same as PHP files and then I can mix however I please and development is super easy and clean.
The Atrix was so far ahead of its time. They also worked wonderfully for troubleshooting headless boxes.

“Murder of popular musicians and artists up 1000% this year… news at 11”

Joking aside, if I am the artist, shouldn’t I be able to give those rights to my children to provide for them after I’m gone? I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying but I think a reasonable threshold after death is appropriate (20 years maybe instead of 70?)

> You could be the former CEO of Adobe with a PhD in ML concentrating in image generation and a wing dedicated to your artwork at the Met and still be too out of touch with current image manipulation tooling to make useful predictions about it.

This was a good one, I love it!

My SWengineering background tells me that many of the tools Adobe has are tedious to replace but doable by many algorithmically gifted folks. Some need some investment to get to pro level like color calibration and correction. Some need camera manufacturer support like initial sensor RAW processing. The ones that were causing awe like their famous patented content aware fill based on complicated differential equations was out of reach for most. So were their precise selection/masking tools and a few more. Now we suddenly can select objects/background/hair fairly easily and reliably using ClipSeg or Segment Anything, removing the masking obstacle. To fill/replace content, we simply select the area and let stable diffusion hallucinate options until we are happy. To simulate puppet tool, we can use ControlNet with stable diffusion though implementing ARAP is also fairly easy. So a dedicated company that wants to get to the parity with Adobe in their most advanced tooling suddenly has a clear road ahead. If they improve UX by e.g. voice or gesture control (plenty of places where Adobe tools are difficult to use for no reason) and do some decent image format compatibility, they can really make a dent in Adobe's market share.

This might sound self-aggrandizing, but given infinite time and energy I alone could replicate most of the CS6 functionality of PS at the same or better quality (and I did create some powerful tools for one of their competitors) and know a few folks capable of the same.
This is false, because accessibility helps everyone. There are examples of customers who are temporarily impaired being assisted by options for people that might have only partial use of one hand, or options for colorblind people improving the overall design of your site.

For example, there are still games created which do not support button remapping because why would they? It's an accessibility option, they don't need to support 'everyone'. But I, as someone who is not disabled, use it because it allows me to make the controls more comfortable.
I really liked all these questions, thanks for sharing. I'll think about them.
Okay, but GPT can actually explain its thinking and even conduct simple proofs with rigour equivalent to what one finds at a modern university maths course. The models are just not good enough for harder tasks, time will tell if they become good enough.

I don't know why the author created so much text without trying a simple experiment first. Perhaps they lack experience in modern evidence based science.
I would rather ask, where can you go and not see it, on some wall, T-shirt, package, whatever.

Imagination. When the AI is capable not just of describing something but of extrapolating the rest of its existence in order to complete a task. For instance, any puppy understands the basics of information flow. A dog can lie. A dog can be fed by owner A and then tell owner B that A forget. The puppy can imagine the mental states of both owners, extrapolate that they have not coordinated the meal delivery today, identify that information gap, then leverage that understanding into getting two meals instead of one. That's the level of complexity I expect before an AI can be said to be aware of its environment.

Yeah, everything I’ve seen (and written) which uses UUIDs uses UUIDv4, and the main alternative for similar use seems to be ULID, not any of the other UUID versions.
The whole point of the used cooking oil is that it has been also used for cooking.

Biodiesel is barely carbon-neutral if you're lucky; often it produces more carbon dioxide than you'd emit if you just used all the fuel directly, instead of fueling the agricultural machines, fertilizer factories, etc [1].

When all the harvesters and presses become 100% powered with renewables, direct production of biodiesel may make sense.

"In the style of..." is not substantially similar enough IMO.

>which puts median annual household spending on healthcare between $1,500 and $5,540 in 2019.

I'm guessing that doesn't include employer subsidies. I pay (as an individual) ~$940/month for health insurance, plus a $600 deductible and $40/visit copays for doctors, $150 copay for emergency room visits and $1000 copay for hospital admisisons.

Assuming I don't need an emergency room or a hospital admission, that's over $10,000/year just for healthcare.
Of the many models of “composition” that are possible I think Ruby’s free-for-all blend of mix-ins and monkey patches is the only one that can drive a maintenance programmer more insane than a deep hierarchy of inheritance of Java classes.

What I find really intriguing is how versatile and powerful fourier transforms in the discrete setting are. In a finite field you can use them to interpolate or evaluate polynomials quickly, to generate lagrange basis, etc.

We just replaced our gas stove with induction. It is unbelievable how much faster it brings water to a boil. The moment I take the pot off, the glass is cool, so no risk of my kid (or I) accidentally touching it. It is also infinitely easier to wipe clean versus gas where stuff always fell below the metal piece holding things above the flame.

Zero regrets. I wish I’d done this years ago.
> Without copyright, moneyed interests would be able to simply wait for promising new artists to create something that resonates with an audience, then copy that thing and aim their massive marketing budgets at dominating that audience with the new version owned by the [corporation, famous artist, etc].

Copyright doesn’t mitigate this risk, for if it did, it would do the same thing for the example you cite in the second paragraph. (Software and game assets are also protected by copyright. . .)
Similar to other comments, I've only encountered v4 in my career. Is there a large domain where v1 is the norm that dominates the statistic, and most people happen to not work in that domain? If the author knows, I wish they'd say.

If every class inherits Object then you probably need to understand the concept still, even if it’s no longer favored for organizing your own business logic.

And I’m not sure anyone has come up with a better way of teaching inheritance in the past few decades.

> There's plenty of money for people to pay for houses.

Well, you really have to mortgage yourself to the hilt to buy a house now in Ireland, it's ridiculous. With a single normal (non-director etc) wage it's almost impossible.

> So you have one group of people holding on to land like their lives depended on it, trying to increase the value, and another group trying to lower the value of that land and increase the value of their own homes by preventing the owners from building on it.

I was told that when the republic was founded land ownership was forbidden (or public or something) to avoid this very thing? But this was a pretty 'severe' person, maybe they were bending the truth. I don't know.

But the objection system is crazy yes. It doesn't explain though how Ireland was one big building site before the credit crisis and now nothing is being built.

The whole country (outside Dublin) is one big empty space and yet houses in such shortage that the prices are extreme :( There's more than enough space for everyone to live comfortably and affordably.

Also, I don't really agree that having houses nearby would decrease the value of the existing ones. Houses in urban areas are generally much more expensive than those in backwater villages. And a lot of people prefer to live in urban areas. In fact this is one of the reasons I left the country. Outside Dublin every town is way too small to have decent services and Dublin is way too expensive to live there.
Thanks for the feedback. I updated the language a bit to better reflect how that whole interaction went down, which was a playful chat between two seasoned devs with ~12 companies between them. I also removed the language that was being perceived as judgemental.

That's a little sophomoric. No one needs to know with perfect clarity. If bots ever get good enough and prevalent enough most social media users are fake, there will be a little lag as people figure it out. Then people who keep using social media will get mocked for wasting their time, and it will die.

Nope. Government salaries are public information, and are reported all over the usual sites (levels.fyi, glassdoor, indeed, etc) More importantly though, the government doesn't give out stock options with a vesting schedule. Meanwhile, techs who were at Tesla and got a small grant when it was at $20 are likely pretty happy with the stock being at $170. (Tech's that got grants at $400, less so.)

It's pretty amazing what you can accomplish with a philosophy of progress over perfection, the right framing, and some specific goals.

I'd challenge you all to set some public goals for accessibility (even if they are small) (for ideas: you could see what we've been doing, see: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/olarks-accessibility-journey-... , which links out to the goals and results for the past 3 years)

and then check back on them in a year. NOTE: if you are inside a bigger org, odds are you won't be able to post it super publicly, but at least write them down somewhere and come back to them to check progress, and set goals for the next period.
