It’s more like a VCR than a karaoke machine in my opinion.

Like a VCR it can be used for copyright infringement.

Unlike a karaoke machine that has copyrighted material the entire point of purchasing the karaoke machine is to get copyrighted songs to sing.

The VCR, like the LLM, has other uses, and if someone distributes infringing VCR cassettes they are liable and the manufacturer is not.

VCRs being applicable because of Sony v Universal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Unive....

The Court also ruled that the manufacturers of home video recording devices, such as Betamax or other VCRs (referred to as VTRs in the case), cannot be liable for contributory infringement.

Also, it can be argued that the LLM model is significantly transformative.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformative_use

In United States copyright law, transformative use or transformation is a type of fair use that builds on a copyrighted work in a different manner or for a different purpose from the original, and thus does not infringe its holder's copyright.

In computer- and Internet-related works, the transformative characteristic of the later work is often that it provides the public with a benefit not previously available to it, which would otherwise remain unavailable.

Which is what was argued in Perfect 10 v Google.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_10,_Inc._v._Amazon.com....

Specifically, the court ruled that Google transformed the images from a use of entertainment and artistic expression to one of retrieving information, citing the precedent Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corporation. The court reached this conclusion despite the fact that Perfect 10 was attempting to market thumbnail images for cell phones, with the court quipping that the "potential harm to Perfect 10's market remains hypothetical."

The court pointed out that Google made available to the public the new and highly beneficial function of "improving access to [pictorial] information on the Internet." This had the effect of recognizing that "search engine technology provides an astoundingly valuable public benefit, which should not be jeopardized just because it might be used in a way that could affect somebody's sales."

So an LLM is a tool that could be used to produce infringing material, like a VCR, and an LLM is a tool that does indeed copy infringing material, like Google Image search, but applies computationally expensive transformations used to generate newly existing functionality that has a valuable public benefit distinct from creating and distributing the original infringing copies. That new, visually non-infringing images could compete with the originals in a market is not the intent nor spirit of the clause related to market impact as that would imply that all paintings of a red circle have a market impact on all paintings of a blue circle where clearly the intent of copyright is to protect a concrete and subjective expression whose market value differs from image to image.
It reminds me of what happens if you ask ChatGPT to speak Old Norse or Lojban.

(it will do so, and it will even look kinda sorta right if you have only the general idea of how it's supposed to look... but it will be very far from accurate)
> We further developed a process for continuing to supply updates as they are released. Fortunately we already had the Peridot build system in place to manage the additional imports and automate them.

From where? CentOS stream or directly from RHEL?

This and the last press release use this weird wishy-washy language for some reason, while Almalinux has been straight to the point.
And if iron(III) oxide is near the melting point, it's unlikely to be magnetic and may not even be paramagnetic. This would be an interesting lab experiment: heat a sample to 1500 C exactly and test for paramagnetic properties.
I know a couple of them and nutjobs is the moniker that fits best. They know next to nothing but have very strong opinions, they also tend to follow each and every conspiracy theory that's put out there. Ideal fodder for amplification of bs theories.

> Those phones were not water resistant.

And it's 10 years later in 2023. If Apple/other big companies want to they can do R&D and come up with waterproof+dustptoof solutions.

Let's face it, they don't want to because it sells more phones.
Not sure if you meant to quote them here sarcastically..
it’s like if I make an announcement to say I’m confident Elon Musk will give me a billion dollars for nothing. Will it happen? Probably not, does it have any value declaring to the world - about as much as the guy who made the Rockylunux announcement.
See also "10~17x faster than what? A performance analysis of Intel's x86-simd-sort (AVX-512)" at https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs/blob/main/wri... posted here at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36273544 and minor additional comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36268877 .

When those benchmarks were first done, for random input, vqsort was faster once you get around ~20,000 items, but for 1,000 items the new AVX512 sort is 13x faster than vqsort.

As you read it, you'll see that the vqsort issue for small arrays has been fixed, and as of a few weeks ago or so, vqsort is now faster than the AVX512 sort for random.
If everything that sourced a component or subassembly from China would disappear the world would be a substantially different place.
Unfortunately, you're mistaken. In practice, iron(iii) oxide is barely paramagnetic and the particles are likely well above the Curie point and possibly at the melting point.
I use Resilio sync to sync the Obsidian vault on all my devices and NAS.
Probably so. I agree. From a simple UX/UI perspective, there's the "+" button (for creating new Drive items), so, adding "New Markdown Document" or "New Text Document" would bring some clarity. But still... that broad majority is probably using the service in a totally different way.
Misinformation was never a problem on the provider end but the receiver
They’re so cheap for what you get! I walked into a Walmart and for ~$600 USD including tax I got a AAA game (God of War Ragnarok) and a console ready to play it.

As someone who built a high end gaming PC and skipped the PS3/360 and PS4/Xbox One generations, the value proposition of the PS5 is just too good compared to buying a fully specced out PC! Which sure, it can be argued a midrange PC is the actual competitor, but if I decided to start PC gaming again I’d 100% drop $2000 on a 4090, definitely a personal problem), but I had an ultra high end rig with a 2080ti and games were still stuttering in 4K, then the crypto mining boom happened and I sold my GPU for more than I originally paid for it, and bought a PS5.

To do real 4K gaming these days is something like $3500! That’s not even including if you want to use a good monitor instead of a TV to push all those pixels to. I almost convinced myself “well I might use it for ML”, but even then I’m better off renting off of Runpod for a few dollars an hour. It’d take years to break even and by then a new better GPU will be out.

Alternatively, playing on PS5 has been a dream. The Demons Souls remake is a shockingly beautiful game, one of the prettiest I’ve ever seen, and God of War Ragnarok and Final Fantasy 16 are games that just work. If I want to play them away from my couch (one of my favorite features of the Switch), my Steam Deck streams them flawlessly using Chiaki4Deck (after a little bit of admittedly annoying config and adding a wired connection to the PS5, it’s a totally seamless, lag free experience. Played for 5 hours yesterday without a single drop.)

Even with a top of the line GPU gaming on a PC with AAA titles like Borderlands 3 and Monster Hunter World felt fiddly and janky, HDR setup was always confusing, and I’d have to identify why things were causing microstuttering which took me MONTHS to figure out. I also learned that games just sort of add experimental bells and whistles that a $1200 video card couldn’t actually run so I’d have to spend hours tweaking the settings for each game no matter how much hardware I threw at it. It just got tedious.
This long form writing style where the author has to inject his own story as a secondary/support narrative gets really tedious. You could edit all of it out and the story would be sustained.
A jilted jealous former lover dropping a hardware bug in someone's home doesn't really seem that far fetched, but maybe I've been watching too many TV shows. Something off Amazon for < $100 can record audio for hundreds of hours to a microSD card, and it's only active when there's noise.
What half-bakery are you imagining? This won't work with blazing hot rust nanoparticles.
> My experience with LLMs so far is that they very confidently give you an answer and very convincingly explain that answer but for certain portion of the time that answer is very wrong.

This is true of humans just as well
Indeed, and when modern languages replaced Latin as the lingua franca, institutions continued to use Latin, or Latin derived terms of art, rather than move with the time.

One could draw a comparison and suggest that institutions that fail to adapt to developments in AI might be making the same mistake; only time will tell.
“four ended up in the hospital needing oxygen or intensive care to survive their ordeal.”

This fact seems a tad more important than the fact that two have died, because that level of intensive medical care doesn’t scale to thousands of victims

But even with all that considered this sounds like a statistical glitch, not an event of significance
I was with chilling with a bunch of friends in my college room in 2018 when one of them played Any Color You Like on YouTube. Since then, I have been enamored by their music.

I go through phases of listening to The Dark Side of the Moon, and even now, after so many years, I haven't gotten bored of it. It's just too good, and eternal.
Annoyingly, gotosocial appears to gate off RSS behind `enable_rss` in the database accessible only by an (undocumented) extension to the `update_credentials` API call. Tch. That could do with being exposed to the command line account mangler.
"people who know what Markdown is" overlaps very much with "people who have to use google docs for work but would prefer a consistent editing experience". Basically every dev I know has to use either teams/sharepoint/office or google docs, but most are also more comfortable with using markdown and use it for technical docs.

I'd love to have a google docs option of creating a "simple doc", that is backed by markdown and only supports the basics (headers, paragraphs, lists, maybe tables) and have a WYSIWYG for non-tech people and a (maybe git-based?) workflow for people used to markdown.

Something like what azure devops and github does with their wikis.

We could simplify the article to a sentence: be good and clear in communication.

That's for sure valuable skill which gives you advantage over other engineers, or to say people in general :)
Hundreds of millions might be better kept at Treasurydirect.gov, due to SIPC coverage limits. Though I'll admit ignorance on knowing exactly how insurance over there works, but it'd be a REALLY bad look if the government lost your treasuries and didn't compensate for it.
Get yourself an old-fashioned web-space, setup a nextcloud instance ... profit.
This is mostly romantic western propaganda. We (the NATO) are the good ones, which is not part of your essay, and the bad ones are the Russians. This is reflected in the sources as well, which are exclusively pro-west ones as far as I can see.

Just as an example: Currently in our media Russians blew up the Kahovka dam. At no time anyone asks why they'd do that. It is detrimental to Russias strategy in the same way Russia does not profit from blowing up Nord Stream. The only reason for blowing up the dam would be to stop Ukraine forces at that flank, however the Russians were in control of the dam and they could have just opened it. Again this is similar to Nord Stream.

Could Russians have done it still? Sure, not all actions need to make sense, but it wouldn't be my first guess.

> With Ukrainians apparently unbeatable [...]

Not sure as meant as quote or not, but this does not hold water at all. Even Ukrainian officials say that the offensive isn't up to par currently. And by now we saw enough broken Leopards to say that the deliveries didn't have their desired effect either. Why are we in this war again?
I think you misunderstand what it means for a property to be emergent. It's not about hand waiving its origin, but about highlighting that the property progressively appears ("emerges") as the scale of the system changes in some direction.

What I'm suggesting with the above, is that there is nothing magical or distinctive about the mechanisms that generate consciousness vs. those that generate the understanding of semantics, grammar, syntax in a GPT or the ability to keep a pole in vertical position on a rolling cart with some reinforcement learning. Instead, it views consciousness as the mental model that is generated by a sufficiently complex intelligence (biological or not) when it has the ability to perceive inputs of its environment, and crucially, of itself. That is, a sufficiently complex brain with the ability to observe its environment and itself, will inevitably generate a model of both and their relationship. The model of itself and how it distinguishes itself from the environment is what I think is consciousness.

What I mean with emergent is that this mental model progressively becomes more and more rich ("emerges") as the cognitive abilities becomes more complex and the inputs of itself and the environment increase. A tapeworm with a very minimal central nervous system, scarce sensory inputs of the environment, and likely even less of itself will develop an excessively simple model that can hardly be recognized as consciousness. As you scale the cognitive abilities and the inputs it processes of both; environment and itself, a richer model of both will emerge. And that thing will start to look a whole lot like consciousness.
I use synchthing so syncing is quite prompt. The android version works well.
And that is exactly why the current generation of AI is the same as all the other generations. It is a bruteforce attempt to solve something that shouldn't need brute force.
Even in 2021, Google Workspace had more than 3 billion users. I believe that 99% of these individuals had no clue what Markdown was. If they had, perhaps third-party apps that can connect to Google Drive, such as StackEdit, would be much more popular now.
21 Types of Software Testing Every Engineer Should Be Using for Better Results
What’s wrong with helm?
Which will accelerate the trend towards far-right governments in europe, who will then roll back climate change laws.
Here’s one way it’s relevant: universities are structured according to a philosophical opinion about the nature of the universe (or at least the nature of knowledge about the universe). That set of decisions in turn steers, at a very fundamental level, the path and velocity of scientific inquiry.
From reading the article it also seems like Microsoft is well aware that the console isn't necessarily the point, the games are. Sure, they are in the number three spot for consoles, but doing fairly well for the Xbox division as a whole.

This might also be a case of Xbox having a different user segment, as compared to the PlayStation, and certainly compared to Nintendos offerings. I might be completely wrong, but PlayStation seems very much like the console for people who want large worlds, larger than life scenaries and single player games. Xbox is for when you want to play with friends, either in person of online.
One thing that really floored me wrt GPT-4 translation capabilities is using it to make sense of the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty (https://sillok.history.go.kr/main/main.do). Take something from 1400s and see what it can do with that after you tell it what it is translating. Then try Google/Bing Translate for comparison.

However, it does have a thing about pretending to know languages that it really doesn't (because of how little of them there was in the training data and/or in general).
Yes, pretty much this. I use Sharepoint and teams because I have to, not because I would think they are good or because I liked them. Sharepoint in particular is horrible, Teams are only slightly better.

I want markdown on sharepoint.

> It is going to meant that Android can't take advantage of the high end features of the new phones that are being released

That's perfectly ok, what you don't have you can't use.

> and that old and slow phones are going to get updates that makes them run even slower.

It would be up to the manufacturers to ensure that this is not the case. One way to do it would be to reduce bloat.

> To top it of, it is not like manufacturers are into throwing away money, so this will likely mean that prices on the cheapest phones will increase more.

This makes no sense: manufacturers are competing with each other, if the prices on the cheapest phones will increase more then surely someone will exploit that.
I really tried the whole Steam with big picture mode a few years ago. I had a 2080Ti and mostly ended up with micro stuttering in AAA titles, it took months of swapping out parts to finally get it halfway stable, then I discovered the power from that electrical socket was dirty. It was a nightmare. My PS5 just works, no fuss, no muss. Which I a real PC gamer would just tell me to “git gud” but I’m getting too old for this shit. I just want to relax and play games not tweak settings for hours before I play.
"As a student employed by OpenAI, I cannot..."
Microsoft already has a quantum computer running their Azure billing platform.
I'm in favor of punishing crimes. I don't think I have a choice about the matter.
By using the same logic then CNBC (1996) should change their logo because Huawei (2006) decided to copy it.
Today's "unhyped, sane stock" is tomorrow's train wreck, as businesses and industries changes, leadership changes, etc.

You can pick a good stock in the short (2-3 year) terms if you know their industry and their business well enough to really believe in their strategy. But it is difficult to have that level of knowledge on a broad enough base to build a stock portfolio out of it. It is better the just let the index funds be your base, and maybe dip your toes in those rare stocks where you do have deep knowledge and confidence.
It's not a mystery at all. Planned obsolescence is a thing and manufacturers have all kinds of perverse incentives to ensure that your perfectly serviceable phone gets traded in for a newer model.
It seems a safe prediction if you extrapolate that AI will get generally smarter than humans.

It also seems a safe prediction, given past human behaviour that some humans will set some AI to do bad stuff.

Therefore risk.

(eg "chat gtp 27, help me make billions on crypto and use it to set up a distributed army to take over the world")
perhaps this is journalism-speak for "you should be interested in this" for people who don't know much about the topic?
I made a slightly different query, essentially giving it the start of a sentence detailing the battle, and didn't use the GPT4 webapp but put it directly into the API.

The result were 2 very well written paragraphs, including the defeat of the Trade unions navy, a ceasfire agreement and a peace agreement ending the water wars.

I rephrased the entire thing as a question, asking the LM to tell me about the conclusion of the war. Again I got a pseudo-historical statement.
I think both groups (climate activists, surveillance-repression fascists) are separate, but the latter welcome the fact that the former gives them an acceptable excuse for more restrictive laws, more control, more surveilance.
Create legitimacy by engaging in costly signaling and patterns of behavior

The application does not touch the metal. It executes as an application doing the top half of what the lower operating system does. The reason for the redundant pseudo-OS is that it operates the same across multiple devices irrespective of the metal and lower level OS. That means it provides a seamless connected experience between Windows, Linux, and OSX (I still need to test certificate installation in OSX) with end-to-end encryption for things like file system, sub-processes, media processing, file execution, and so forth.
Ways for developer advocates to debunk the “AI can replace developers” myth
This is literally the way I used Reddit for pretty much the entire time I did. I don't get how anyone tolerates the actual site.

And it's how I use Lemmy now that I've switched over.

Youtube...that may be handy for. But I think the channels I follow regularly like that also publish as a podcast, and most of the time I'm fine with the audio-only versions.
I think I have a good understanding what ABI is. The point I am trying to make is that the theory you have doesn't add up to the facts - you mention Apple as more cautious around the changes they make but the reality is that they break the ABI much more often than other vendors.
I wonder if there is any mainstream program with a more convoluted configuration scheme than bash? Just when think you understand the various invocations of .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc in login/non-login/interactive/non-interactive modes in home and/or /etc after digesting an article with flowcharts[1], you realize that any invocation can execute arbitrary code from any location, and different distributions (not to mention, macOS, WSL, git-for-Windows, etc) all source different stuff in their default configs (like executing .bashrc in .profile).

I have one and it is a pretty good and solid phone. Not quite a smartphone (it runs Linux) and I very much like it. Absolutely indestructible, cheap and unbelievable battery life (so long I sometimes forget I have to charge it at all).
How something starts and is intended to be used becomes corrupted for the purposes of power and control; its clockwork and it absolutely happened with Latin. We could say the same thing about Medicine and Law today. All those technical terms in Latin are just for cohesion, right? Just coincidence they happen to be for the two largest union based professions in the west? I don't think so. Perhaps, they started out oriented on codification and categorization, but ultimately it's used as barriers to entry for the purpose of containing who has what knowledge.

AI is the digital wheel and the powers that be are intentionally altering it's ability to free us, to contain us for themselves. Labor is a powerful tool for vote motivation and instilling dependency. It is hard to watch them do to AI what they did to Bitcoin because they are afraid of what humanity will become without them.
No, an extra restriction ("For open-source use") is added on top of the GPLv3 license, which violates the license, actually (see §7):

> All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.

It's better to license under the stricter AGPLv3 and not put any extra conditions.
