An AI LLM, on the other hand, is (unless some court or law changes this) a derivative work of its training data.

because an AI LLM is in fact copyrightable and self-evidently a derivative work.

I mean, that's a fine opinion to hold, and you might be right. But so far all you've done is repeat yourself and appeal to "self-evident" which isn't a terribly strong argument.

I'll wait for some actual precedent / case-law to solidify my own opinion. As it stands, I can see both sides of the argument, but I don't think the conclusion is as obvious as some folks in this discussion seem to find it. shrug

an AI LLM can easily recite its training data, providing further evidence that the AI LLM is a derivative work of that data.

OK, I can buy that to a point, so far as arguing that the LLM itself is a derivative work. But I'm not convinced that, in turn, the output of the LLM is also a derivative work in those cases where what it returns is not an exact copy (or even nearly exact copy) of anything in the training corpus.
When visibly travelling at the same speed as pedestrians (… even when there are no pedestrians around!), and still insisting when you explain why dismounting is worse for everyone? No, it’s simply applying the rule because it’s a rule. The Protective Services Officers (cut-rate policemen) that are enforcing these sorts of rules are seldom interested in nuance.

On another occasion I was fined by PSOs for walking along beside the railway line, along a route that I understood to be a public right of way and which was not in any way blocked save an easily-walked-around vehicle barrier at the far end that they’d installed in the last year or so, and which our family and others had been traversing since before I was born. But no, they’d decided that wasn’t allowed any more, didn’t actually tell the locals, and ignored the explanation and an expressed willingness to not do it again (and the appeals process declined to listen too). I suspect and hope that regular police would have listened and just issued a warning to not use that route any more.
Is that actually confirmed? As in, is there a reason to believe it happened and that it is not some old video from elsewhere resurfacing? (People always post old videos on twitter claiming they relate to current situation.)
The difference in color schemes is one class name on one tag. You can also make that change on the back end or anywhere else.
I am curious on how this will reflect on the Ukraine invasion: as far as I understand, Wagner was a huge source of soldiers on the front lines.

I am sure this coup, however it will ends, is a major source of distraction from the war. Meanwhile, Ukraine is pushing east: will they be able to use this coup to liberate some territories?
Staying Alive
>But why given the choice (theoretically) would I give up making $ALotMore just by practicing for coding interviews?

Because I am content in my current state of life? Because the type of work being offered is not engaging to me and I have the luxury to choose? Because I'm not trying to speedrun out of the job market and retire at 40?

I'm making more than $135k, but once I get a decent car and pay off my house... what next?

- Paid off student loans

- Already maxing out my 401k for retirement as well as investing in an IRA account

- I of course have hobbies and disposable goods to buy, but It's not $5000/month worth of stuff.

- I have a decent savings right now, and I imagine by the time I pay off my house I will have a very hefty buffer as well as some more of that going into stocks

The only consideration is potentially for kids, but that's not even in the cards right now. Maybe I'd consider traveling, but I've never had those dreams where I'm an adventurer, nor one where I retire in some vacation resort. I'll cross them bridge when I get there, and it's not like I don't have the savings buffer if I need a short term transition phase for $ALotMore down the line should the need arise.

As is it now, if I got a million dollars in 10 years after I paid off my house/car my first impulse would be... going to art school. Not investing in some more stocks or starting a busines or whatnot which tends to be popular here, I'd just continue to develop myself in skills I never had a chance to. And a million dollars would take that from being a part time side hobby to something I can focus on full time for a few years.

so yea, given all that talk, guess my career in tech lol.
That sounds interesting, what does the JVM do for tree structures and linked lists? Is that just about compacting memory?
I will say an ambulance or police car in the park does break the rule.

It is fine to break the rule sometimes though.
Some of it is differences in usecase. If it happens on a dev's laptop, that's... okay, it still rubs me the wrong way, but I get it. If it happens that now every CI job reinstalls the compiler, I'm going to be annoyed.
r/redditseppuku is an option.
One of them attacked a governmental body of a country. The other one still has not. That is why it is in quotation marks.
I'm not sure the Kremlin is full of irrational individuals ready see their country totally annihilated.
I suspect the Kremlin is full of self-serving individuals determined to look after their own self-interest. They'll be happy to see Putin hang on, provided of course his success aligns with their success.
But if their interests could be better served supporting someone else, they will quickly flip allegiances.
With respect, the "DevOps attitude" is not "move fast and break things". That's the Facebook attitude.

DevOps is, in part, about using repeatable methods of automation and extensive testing throughout the software development lifecycle to try and make sure that the software you deliver in production will do exactly what it should do and nothing else, and so long as it is properly designed, should be able to withstand significant scaling stress but just getting slower and slower but not less reliable.

From what I can tell regarding the Titan incident, there was no part of a proper DevOps mindset or approach that those people adopted. They people in charge were just damn stupid cowboys out to make a fast Buck from people who were too stupid to know how much in danger they were of losing their lives.
Your model is not sorting correctly and it sure has not learned any "algorithm". At best it has learned to approximate a sorting algorithm. That's what statistical machine learning models do, they are function approximators; not program learners.

Also, Machine Learning 101: you test your models on a test set that is disjoint to the training set. To clarify, we do this not because it's in the book and that's the rules, but because, by testing the model on held-out data, we can predict the error the model will have on unseen data (i.e. data not available to the experimenter). And we do this because under PAC-Learning assumptions a learner is said to learn a concept when it can correctly label instances of the concept with some probability of some error. In real-world situations we do not know the true concept, so we test on held-out data to approximate the probability of error.

Bottom line, if you train a model to do a thing and you don't test it carefully to figure out its error, you might claim it's learned something, but in truth, you have no idea what it's learned.

(To clarify: you tested on the train data assuming there's a low probability of overlap. Don't do that if you're trying to understand what your models can do).
It was inevitable - this is what happens when you allow private armies as a business. Nearly a century ago, when the British government decided to take control of a private army the British empire ultimately collapsed because of the backlash from the corporates who ran it. Putin is right to act swiftly and harshly against this kind of behaviour before they become an actual threat to the nation - Mercenaries, unlike national armies, tend to prioritise money and power. (In fact, the harsh action against them seems to suggest that is exactly how the Russians are looking at it - that this group has been paid to rebel).
CNNs are still relatively competitive at vision tasks.
Because its a staged rebellion to end the war while saving the face of the current leadership, and hopefully avoid civil war.
Wagner Group [1] is a mercenary company, by the way, named after German composer Richard Wagner [1]. Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin [2] is reportedly the founder and owner.

(Wagner is not a person. Or am I misreading: who does "himself" refer to?)

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner_Group

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Wagner

[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Prigozhin
You cared enough to leave this comment.
Not Wagner. They are preparation - response of Russian security services to potential threat.
I am aware. There are numerous reasons why switching may be risky, difficult or otherwise a bad idea, however.
Low-power 12V or 24V DC is very doable around the house, for small-scale LED lighting, etc. But if you limit yourself to small connectors and thus reasonably low currents (like 10A, as I did), it's 120W or 240W per connector at the very top.

Serious power, in the kilowatt range, would require much higher voltage, and still much bulkier connectors and thicker conductors. OTOH 400V DC should be comparable in this regard with 220V AC, which has a 380V amplitude. The 400V DC standard is relatively widespread and well-supported by existing industrial equipment. Connectors are comparable in size to the (grounded) Euro plugs.
I think the difference is that the go compiler is not expected to be at the same layer of the system as go modules. Having apt update apt is expected, since apt is just another .deb, having pkg update pkg is expected because pkg is just another package, but this is like running pkg and it deciding that your system is too old so it runs freebsd-update for you.
why scrape? that's maybe more unethical using someone's likeness without permission for dating is creepy.

why not just ai generated?
I mean why not? Automoderator bots are already a thing on reddit and work reasonably well with just simple fuzzy string matching. If one can appeal to a human as a last resort when edge cases occur I don't really see a problem. If anything it'll have a few orders of magnitude less false positives.
What about weak copyleft licenses like the LGPL?

I think they are particularly vulnerable to this scenario.

Also I think in general that software licenses were designed ignoring the isomorphism of code. Code can be data depending on use.
Would the new regime resort to the use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine or anyone else?

As unpredictable and irrational as he's become, there's some comfort in Putin's track record of staying off the button. I really hope these events don't cause him to start getting YOLOy
Also 11%, I have tank instead of horse.

Surely at least part of the regular Russian army will have to be pulled back to defend Moscow.
They are more likely to nuke the people backing Prigozhin rather than anything in Russia itself.
When you jump, do you leave the park? If you jump really high? Or are flung via trebuchet?
There's always open source...
Stopped playing after the first question because I don't care and i don't know why anyone would. After all this is just a website asking questions without context. It seems as interesting to me as the political debate in Star Wars Episode I that was famously mocked by the Simpsons.
Impostor Impostor Syndrome?
I've noticed recently that everyone seems to be humble-bragging about impostor syndrome. So many people, in fact, that I have difficulty believing it!

Is there such a thing as "impostor impostor syndrome?" DDG fails me when searching for it.

Even my go-to pop psych site offers nothing:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/imposter-syndrome
Point of nukes is deterring other country. If your opponent is not country than there is little use for nukes because there is no target. That is why terrorism was such big topic for US/Russia for last two decades.
Does anyone have sources for this stuff?

I am seeing a lot of conjecture and not a lot of substance. Is this whole thing based on a couple telegram videos? Is there anything to suggest they aren’t just propaganda deepfakes?
> rustup, and this mechanism in Go, don't take away your control over the compiler. You can always choose to build your software with whichever version you like.

It certainly overrules your choice by default. Before, you could choose whatever version you wanted and it would work; now, you have to run the version you want, and also set an option to tell it to not just ignore the version you installed.
This is just a random guy on Twitter. Can we leave this kind of clickbait emotional reporting to Reddit please?
It’s not a coup it’s a “special paramilitary operation”.
It's more complex: in many countries if an ambulance hits a car while running a red light because of an emergency, the ambulance is at fault, as they were breaking the rules.

So the rules still apply to them, they just won't be pursued on theoretical grounds (getting fined/arrested sheerly because of the infraction, without any other consequences)
Can someone tell me why Putin let it get this far? It seems pretty foreseeable that when you have two independent militaries in constant conflict with each other, and when the heads of both are publicly insulting and threatening each other that eventually this will boil over. Did he just need Wagner that badly that he tolerated the open insults to his military as long as they were winning battles in Ukraine?

Didn't the head of Wagner have close ties to Putin? I guess those are pretty much severed now?
I think Prighozin is as insane as the idiots who thought they could interfere with the count, and I have no idea if he's seriously considering taking out Putin.

But let's be clear, the crowd breaking into the Capitol wasn't the entirety of the coup attempt, and even to write that part down as just a disorganised mob is incorrect.

What was going on is better understood as an autogolpe -- a self-coup. It had several prongs -- violent, parliamentary (in the congressional sense of the word) and judicial. So, fake electors, lawsuits, attempt to persuade Pence not to count, interfering with results in several states, and the physical insurrection.

The aim was to create a scenario where the handover just didn't happen, through all these interlocking parts.

But the crowd could only ever have created the circumstances that delayed certification (and might have pulled that off, had Pence got in the car).

It was much more co-ordinated than we have yet seen documented in courts, but that time is coming.
That’s quite the read. Hanged, lost head, etc.

Thank you.
Now you raise that perspective, I'm reminded that Shoigu rose to his current high position because of his success in cracking down on corruption in government departments. I read he made a lot of enemies.
Backpack? Dog? Dog with a backpack? Horse? Riding a horse?

Apparently he prefers to work by having his subordinates and departments fighting with each other (Hitler used the same "management" tactic). What worked in the past for him may not work in the future.
> So if this is supposed to be an example of how content moderation rules are unclear to follow, it's achieving precisely the opposite.

Because you assume one following them does it out of good will and good intentions.

Now imagine the moderator that needs to adhere to such rules doesn't use them as guideline but as something to work around to remove the things they personally don't like. And they don't need to explain to the public why they thin it falls upon, they can just silently remove it, or put a comment "removed because rule xyz" and comments to that disabled.

Now imagine rules like /r/games, "No content primarily for humor or entertainment" or "No off-topic or low-effort content or comments". CLEARLY meant to stop memeing and spamming random game screenshots, but oh so easy to attach to nearly anything.

Same with title formatting rules. Should you copy-paste clickbaity title of the article or editorialize it to mean what the article says about? DOESN'T MATTER, if mods don't like the topic they will find an excuse. So the post gets removed but someone links to a different article with normal title that links to that as source ? Nope, LOW EFFORT, removed, should've linked to the original one (that's actual situation I saw on that subreddit, mods really don't like VNs there, and it wasn't about porn one either)
> The point is that they are obvious to an engineer with a certain skillset.

Are they always worth fixing, regardless how many there are?

Also, you had plenty of time to prepare these and think this through. Someone seeing this for the first time may assume Chesterton's Fence and not change anything despite noticing - assuming it's less important than breaking whatever reason there might have been for doing things this way.

What I'm getting at is that you're not necessarily getting the best engineers, just ones who think like the current you.

It's a mistake and it's likely already costing you.
It just jumped out at me when reading the book, fabulous. I found a French translation (by François Rivenc) a few years ago, equally striking:

L'homme qui a nourri le poulet tous les jours de sa vie finit par lui tordre le cou, montrant par là qu'il eût été bien utile au dit poulet d'avoir une vision plus subtile de l'uniformité de la nature.
That was Prigozhin originally position. He offered support to the president and the government, just not Shoigu.
But things might have changed since that first statement, because since then Putin has now come out on Russian TV denouncing the uprising and calling it high treason.
So, it would appear things are starting to escalate.
Although I'm fond of both Debian and OpenSuse, one disadvantage to be aware of: You have to jump through extra hoops to get media codecs. I understand their reasons, but it was a pain last time I used it.
I think it's best to learn some basic maths by heart and also learn the idea so that you can reconstruct the rest if you forget or begin to doubt.

The idea of two's complement to remember: addition and subtraction for signed ints works the same way on the bit level as for unsigned ints. For signed ints, the highest bit is interpreted as the negative sign. That's it. (This is on top of the idea of how unsigned ints work ie. modulo arithmetic: a carry/borrow bit that doesn't fit in the int is thrown away)

The consequences to learn by heart if you work with signed and unsigned 8-bit ints (like in this article):

* The biggest unsigned int is 255 (2⁸-1; all 1s in binary) and smallest is 0 (all
0s in binary). Increment and decrement jump between those in overflow/underflow (the modulo arithmetic).

* As the highest bit is needed for the negative sign, the biggest signed int is 127 (2⁷-1; all 1s except the sign bit) and smallest is -128 (-2⁷; only the sign bit set). Increment and decrement jump between those in overflow/underflow.

I think the dial visualisations are great in this article for a mental model of the modulo arithmetic and how the overflow/underflow point is the difference between unsigned and signed arithmetic. Perhaps it would be even clearer to rotate them half a step so that the overflow point is straight up/down and the numbers with the highest bit set are all on the left side (hence 0 taking one of the slots on the positive side).

It's also not entirely clear that Prighozin can get from here to there. Not least because he's a madman.

My uninformed read is that what he's enraged about (a Russian strike on a Wagner encampment) actually took place, and he knows he's now a dead man walking anyway, so he's going to see what he can do with the time he has left.
Putin made speech in national TV.
My main problem with opensuse is no body uses it.

Many projects either don't offer packages for it, or you need to use the in-distro package, which are certainly out of date.
In addition to Zypper being dog slow.
The instructions read:

> Every question is about a hypothetical park. The park has a rule: "No vehicles in the park." Your job is to determine if this rule has been violated.

Violation of a rule is a logical operation. It's the answer that comes before the ", but ..." part. Things you explicitly don't have to do in the context of this game:

- You don't have to like the rule

- You don't have to consider exemptions (because that's not what the rule asks for)

You just need to answer, if the rule has been violated. I think it's absolutely fascinating that this is so controversial and a testament to the authors game design.
Quote:

A modern Russian meme is "to bomb Voronezh". A typical joke went like: "Obama ordered new sanctions on Russia; Putin retaliated by bombing Voronezh". Voronezh, a quaint provincial town south off Moscow, is unremarkable by itself, an Anytown, Russia. Bombing Voronezh is a hyperbola describing the favorite game of Russian ruler, - to punish his citizens for his own mistakes. T

Georgeism of the precursor to Monopoly or Monopoly itself aside: it seems pretty obvious that the world described by Monopoly game is not a fun one. The lucky one gets to charge all the other players rent for just existing which he can then use to charge even more rent.

Interpreting a law is usually done through the guidelines of a separate legislation outlining how it is to be done. E.g., Australia has an Acts Interpretation Act which outlines how to interpret laws by various means, including the context in which the words appear and the purpose of the act. I am unsure of other jurisdictions.

We are explicitly told that there is only one relevant rule. So, the only relevant determinations in each case should be to the definitions of "vehicle" and "in the park". No interpretation of the intent can influence the decision. I thought the aim was to determine the scope of the definitions, then be consistent with the applications of those definitions.

Personally, I defined "vehicle" as anything that can transport people or goods, and "in the park" as a reasonable area above and below the ground. But, this ended up with unsatisfactory answers like the tank being not violating the rule because it could no longer transport, and skates being in violation.
A startup still needs capital, even in the era of increasingly cheap LLMs. And the bar of innovation is now higher. The playing field has changed; if everyone now has access to increasingly competent AIs, that means the value–and differentiator–lies elsewhere, no?
