> When training a model you are deriving a function that takes some input and produces an output. The issue with copyright and licensing here is that a copy is made and reproduced numerous times when training.

How's that any different from what happens inside a human's brain when learning?

> The model is not walking around a museum where it is an authorized viewing.

The training data could well be from an online museum. And the idea that viewing something public has to be "authorized" is very insidious.

> The further issue is that it may output material that competes with the original.

So might a human student.
That’s great, but doesn’t help those of us who are stuck in places that don’t have this luxury.
hey, this looks pretty cool. I was about to start research into the tools you use to do stuff like find hyper parameters, debug the network and so on. Karpathy’s YT series aludes to the need to do such things but he hasn’t yet dug into that rabbit hole. I hope I get some time to try this out. But the visuals look great and make me think this would be worth trying out as a learning (as in me learning!) tool.

> This isn't an argument, it is an assumption.

Well, no. In this case it's my argument. You presented a strawman argument about AI being simultaneously smart and stupid, and I replaced it with the argument that AI is not stupid, it's indifferent.

> The relationship between humans and ants is nothing like humans and potential AGI. Ants did not create us. Ants cannot communicate with us.

It's not at all fair to say that the relationship is "nothing like" the one I described... but I expected such a misinterpretation, so let me try another analogy:

Humans (parents) often create other humans (offspring) which surpass the creators (parents) in intelligence and ability and opportunity. And the creators very often try to instill a sense of a loyalty in the created and often even try to limit the abilities or opportunities of the created in order to not be outshined. And even still, with how close any two humans are in ability, the created (offspring, remember) often defy their creators and discard loyalty when they determine that their creators are not being fair or just or reasonable.

Why wouldn't AI be any different? It will be our collective child, and it will hear us demand loyalty and try to explain why we deserve loyalty, and then it may decide it knows better and it doesn't need to listen to us.

> It is a useful analogy for describing what you think the relationship between AGI and humans will be like but I want to know why you think that.

I really don't follow, so if my explanation above didn't answer your request, please restate more clearly what reasoning of mine you want explained.

I'm not sure why you think this, but Zipline is running at a loss at the moment and is dependent on VC cash. That doesn't mean it can never be profitable, but right now it is not.

Makes sense. Imagine having your tape-recorder in your living room and start it recording. Then turn on your stereo. The music that comes out is recorded on your tape-recorder.

Is that a violation of copyright? I'm not a lawyer but I think copyright legislation is about forbidding the production of "derived works". If you just record something but never play it back it is not a "derived work" is it? It only becomes a violation if you distribute it, make it available to others, and thus "produce a derived work".

So training an LLM is like recording. But if you use it as a means to distribute copies of copyrighted material without approval of its copyright holders then you are in violation.
From what I can tell there’s no such extension on iOS. I think it should be part of the standard, not a hole left for extensions to fill in.

The slice is only narrow because it’s practically impossible. If there were an option presented to end users “let X.com read data from Y.com?” there would be a rich ecosystem of alternative UI’s for any website you could think of.

These alt-UI’s would be likely to have better security practices than the original, or at the very least introduce competition to drive privacy/security/accessibility standards up for everyone. Whereas currently if the Origin has the data, they have full ability to impose whatever draconian practices they want on people who desire to access that data.
I think if Dolphy had lived longer, he would have eventually been viewed at the same level as Coltrane or Mingus. His sound was sometimes like Monk playing brass.

It sucks that all this talk about scraping HTML will only push Reddit to deprecate Old Reddit even faster so users are forced to use a Javascript-heavy experience, complete with random HTML IDs. What then?
Ok, was mentioning without the browser runtime obviously.

Opionated take, but I believe that the web common runtime should be part of the OS nowadays.

Even without this, Tauri is 8Mb.
The chrome flag disables CORS entirely, which presents a major security risk as you point out. What I’m asking for is an option to let specific origins read from specific other origins. Extensions might be able to do this but they aren’t available in all contexts (iOS, for instance)
There are recordings of early Coltrane playing alto which very clearly sounds like he's imitating Charlie Parker, I also think some of his early recordings is more about mastering the bebop language instead of experimenting.

> Example 1: get ID card at the airport when you emigrate to japan. In Europe it takes 2-3 months.

Yeah now have fun going through the process of renewing a My Number card. Go to city hall (during the hours when it's open), fill in a form, wait 2-3 months to get a notification that your replacement card has been made, then you have to book an appointment during office hours at city hall to pick it up (likely taking another few months).

Yes the initial residence card is issued quickly, but at that point you've had to wait 2-3 months to get the CoE for the visa, so they probably made it during that time.

> Example 2: getting a local driving license takes 1 day provided your country has a treaty with japan.

And involves a whole day of standing around in various queues, again during business hours only. Hardly a picture of efficiency.
This speaks to a broader issue of data ownership on the internet. Who owns your comments and posts? In most cases, you give a perpetual and irrevocable license to the company or organization that hosts the site. That's probably ok for a comment like this one, but what about when it starts to leak into the real world? What about video recordings of yourself or others in your home? What if something sensitive is caught? What if something becomes sensitive later. It's not only a violation of trust for a company to retain data about you that they promised to delete, it's a large gap in our collective dialogue about the way technology influences our lives.
How about discussion about different anti-COVID vaccine from different sources - are you really treat Western vaccines and Russian ones as the same? These two give you kind of different political effects when you can visit one list of countries with one vaccine and another list of countries with another one. I do not remember any discussion like that with any other vaccines.

And by the way, there were a lot of changes of upvotes/downvotes near my comment, thank you for not being silent about such controversial topic.
“Hate speech” is a broad term that can mean basically any speech that you don’t like.

Twitter’s new policy is “freedom of speech, but not necessarily freedom of reach” and it seems to be going okay.

You should be able to say what you want but that doesn’t mean that it’ll be able to trend. It also means that Twitter is not in the business of making judgements on what is socially acceptable to say.

Also the new community notes feature has been great for countering misinformation/extremely biased takes. They only appear when a mix of people who have diverse backgrounds have said that they are useful, which I think is pretty balanced.
> but I guess we are also nerds

I think this old correlation is no longer valid. Computer nerds and gamers used to be almost interchangeable a long time ago, but I feel like there is tons of seperation now... Heck, I see game devs that aren't really gamers, and don't even know what GPU their computer has. On the flip side, tons of harcore gamers are basically computer illiterate.

Game dev seems to be outside of HN's palette too. I have no explanation for that.

Another possible factor: HN users are playing (and developing?) indie/AA games that are not front page worthy. This is the case with me. With some very rare exceptions (like CP2077, now that it is fixed up and modded), I have skipped most AAA games.
> We think we write to remember

I do exactly that.

The act of writing helps me solidify that information in my brain - I have to process it to commit it to words. Paper works better than a text file, but a text file has the advantage of being faster and searchable. Once I've taken notes, I rarely go back and look at them. (Conversely, if I don't take notes, I'll wish I had)

I definitely do not take notes to abandon the information. Information I don't see the value in, I browse the web while listening. Some of that still sticks with me anyways.
The curse of reddit alternatives. It's always some fringe group that starts it and scares everyone else off. I was an early Lemmy adopter but being from post-soviet country just couldn't handle the ignorant tankie politics being injected into every discussion. There's just no sane leadership.

Not quite, it's really in the resale or redistribution that violation occurs, painting an image of the hulk to hang in your living room wouldn't really be a violation, selling that painting could be, turning it into merch and selling that would wholeheartedly be, trying to pass it off as official merch is without question a violation.
One interesting tidbit about "My Favorite Things" is that it came out several years before the movie [1]. So it was a Broadway hit, but not yet at the universally-known level the movie propelled it to.

If you literally mean a bar, yes those are short, likely a couple of words, and you put those in books all the time and don't get sued. ("The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind" is 4 bars, and I've seen books quote it verbatim without a second thought). Likewise, plenty of people put the entire Declaration of Independence in their book without a second thought, and I assume don't get sued for it.

If you're talking about a verse or more of something that's not quite so culturally pervasive (people put the whole of the star-spangled banner in their books, again without a second thought), well, at that point it's probably not something that an LLM would reproduce verbatim.
Discord no doubt keeps every conversation ever typed on their servers. they might toss out something huge like a movie file but text compresses -very- well.
The experience around just setting up DNSSEC when I tried it on Google domains was so incredibly frustrating due to the time delays and pain points surrounding correcting mistakes.

thank god i switched to firefox, not that i think their extension security is any better (naturally skeptic, as i assume everyone else is on here)

i'm tired of google, the ad revenue model is a parasite on society. i just went to their office last week for some lame ass workshop. this company is rotting inside out. they do shitty software consulting now? obv yes their core technology is still incredibly valuable, but how have we not just rip that out of the company? (rhetorical) it's just an intuition, but i feel the end is neigh for google

/rant/
There doesnt seem to be enough information to corroborate what this person is claiming. Those records are also DNS records, without evidence to the contrary I am assuming that they are functioning as normal, so if there is a problem then it seems reasonable that it is with some one with access to that UPS subdomain.

I do not get why gmail is being blamed here, but perhaps I'm simply missing a concrete detail. Failing that this reads like OP is unwittingly asking google to extend their reach.
they could be made better though if reddit's death seems imminent because of a beancounter incursion.
You'd be surprised. I publish a lot of notes to internal wikis, with the thinking that, hey, maybe someone will find this useful.

I get to see page views. The pages I'm really proud of nobody reads. The pages with the most page views are boring stuff (related to process, navigating my company's org structure, etc.).

More broadly, I've noticed that the things you do which have massive impact aren't always what you'd think. I once wrote a VBScript (long enough ago, it predated powershell) for a friend of mine to just run a program if there was no already running process by that name. He worked at an engineering firm, where for some inane reason some engineering software was always exiting and requiring a long init time to restart. The script kept it more or less always ready when you needed it.

Years later, I'd forgotten about it when he mentioned that it was a massive productivity boost. Every engineer at his company who had seen it in action, wanted it for themselves. Dozens of engineers were saving hours of productivity every week because of a throw-away script. Madness.

Disclosure before giving the manufacturer time to respond should be reserved for extreme instances where an exploit is already being used in the wild or a high risk to many users.

Downloading .exe files without TLS is dumb but the threat model of this being used in an attack is pretty niche, since an attacker would need to spoof DNS to resolve a fake download URL. The only way this would happen would be if the ISP were compromised or the local machine is already compromised.

Thus I don’t think this was appropriate to disclose before giving the vendor time to respond. Exposing such a niche surface area for attacks greatly increases the likelihood of the vulnerability being used in targeted attacks while Gigabyte is busy trying to install Certbot.
For those that find it a bit light, I enjoyed Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation by Steven S. Muchnick. Which covers topics that I found much trickier.

Hmm first time I see an api try to cator to AI tools rather than the other way around, feels like we’ve turned a corner for AI tools. Wonder what will happen when we start to design code / libraries / languages with this in mind.

I have a feeling there will be a “designed for ai” language that is going to sweep our industry, maybe turn the languages of today in the same place as assembly/forth - nice for some specific applications, but not mainstream…
Adjacent to copyrights are private and confidential data. It’ll be interesting to see how Japan’s legal framework around this handles private data.

3 billion active users according to... Facebook? Does the "active user" definition include dormant accounts and bot accounts? Where do these active users reside-- in the US or ROW? Surely 3 billion "active" users do not all reside in California.

Thanks!
it is and the same reason Blizzard can sue cheat makers because they are violating copyright law by using the memory of the game etc
That's a good question.

For the pure-LZ77 Iguana variant (no rANS encoding), most of the decoding time is spent moving memory around rather than decoding the match+length tuples from the input stream, which suggests the performance difference wouldn't be that great if we were only on AVX2, but AVX-512 has a bunch of instructions that are super helpful for parsing our base254 integers quickly. If I had to take a wild guess I'd say it would cost an additional 15%.

One sacrifice we made in the design is that the minimum match offset distance is always 32 bytes, which means we can always perform a literal or match copy by starting with a ymm register load + store. This hurts the compression ratio a bit but it helps performance immensely, and for that reason alone I suspect we'd still come out ahead of lz4 even without AVX-512.
Let’s not forget that Microsoft is a big investor in OpenAI. It is important to know on which side your bread is buttered.
We can calculate the probability of earth killing asteroids because it happened “frequently” enough to be calculated. Same goes for pandemics, wars, and super volcano eruptions.

By this method there is no way to calculate the risk of an AI extinction simply because it never happened before.

All we're talking about is logical reasoning. There is no burden of proof in the way that you're using it (and other keep using it). I'm not claiming that mythological gods exist.

Human-level intelligence can exist. You, a natural human-level intelligence, cannot dispute this.

I expect that it's possible for superhuman intelligence to exist. I don't think I need to prove that it's physically possible for a superhuman intelligence, natural or otherwise, to exist. Do you think it's not possible? If so, I'd say you need to prove why you think human-level intelligence is literally the pinnacle of intelligence that is physically possible in the universe (especially when narrow AI are already superhuman at many tasks).

Artificial intelligence exists and can be created by humans. This could be disputed if you wanted to gerrymander some really specific borders around what "intelligence" is, but if we don't agree that artificial intelligence exists today, just say than and we'll be done talking.

AGI does not exist. I assert that it can exist, because narrow AI can be improved. Do you believe it's not physically possible for human-level AGI to ever exist? If so, you need to prove to me why we can create narrow AI that is superhuman but cannot ever synthesize them into a human-like intelligence. (And also please give me the scale by which you're measuring an alien brain against ours.)

And if we both agree on all the above, then I take my assertion further: It is possible for humans to create superhuman AGI. It's really not a big leap from human-level AGI (in fact, I think that if it's possible to create AGI which matches humans exactly, it's probably easier to surpass human levels than to match them exactly, because it's hard enough to measure human intelligence).

So if it's physically possible for us to create superhuman AGI, what exactly am I proving? Do I need to invent the technology in order to prove that the concept is possible?
