This is the best path forward I think. And it will become increasingly sensible as things continue to evolve. AI wasn't necessary to violate copyright before, and it isn't necessary today.

The determination of copyright violation should be made against the output of the model in the event that someone uses it for commercial purposes.

If the models have a risk of generating copyrighted content, it will be up to the consumers of the system to mitigate that risk through manual review or automated checks of the output.
This isn't idealism. You're the one that's idealistic.

I'm saying nobody will make the right choice. Not even you or me. None of us has the fortitude to do what it takes and therefore most likely the worst case scenario for global warming will play out.

It's the idealists who make up alternative stories to blame other entities other then themselves. It's the idealists who think there's a solution.

There is a solution but that solution is so impractical it's basically no solution.

Very cool, if you don't care about seeing the condensed steam this could be done with X-rays by adding Sodium metatungstate or very toxic thallium formate/malonate to the water. You could also probably replace the water with bormoform or if you don't care about destroying everything, elemental bromine.

Similar: I was a kid in S. VT in the 60s/70s and everyone using the phone system used five-digit dialing. You were assigned a 254-xxxx or 257-xxxx number, but when dialing you only had to use the last five #s, as the "25" prefix was implicit. I think there was a bias on the part of the phone company for assigning 254- prefixes to residences and 257- ones to businesses, but I'm not sure how strict they were about it. I can't recall if using the full seven digits worked when calling within those two prefixes, but I think that it did. I don't remember anyone ever using alphabetic prefixes, which makes me wonder if they were perhaps used there before I was born or if it was a convention only in big cities (my town was ~10K, a bit under).
> They need to first communicate with one another in their nation

This is misguided, naive, and even arrogant. Instead of playing the group identity game and anthropomorphizing lawnmowers, imagining what someone must do, you need to understand how totalitarian systems work, there's no "government" and "people" as separate entities to clash, and no "dictators" either. There is simply no "they" to communicate to one another, and there's no communication/organization possible, as the system removes any means for doing that. Paradoxically, any totalitarian system is decentralized and stuck in the local optimum.

Totalitarian systems are perfectly in balance while being isolated, and in fact always move towards self-isolation - take imperial Japan, USSR, or any other similar society. When your goals are the same as those systems', you should take a long look at what you're doing. It's often said that "Jeans brought USSR down", meaning the cultural influence of outside world. Discarding that is just stupid, it's the most fundamental leverage you have at your disposal.
Your math doesn't quite add up. An 8-bit quantized 7B parameter model would use only ~7GB of memory. That aside, I'm able to infer a quantized 13B model on a 2-core CPU at ~2 tokens/sec, so performance would likely be fine compared to actual ChatGPT.
Huh? I am not a lawyer, but I think you have this a bit wrong. It doesn't require that at all. AGPL "virility" is just like GPL virility. If you link to AGPL code, from code that is otherwise compatible with the AGPL, then in order to comply with the AGPL, you need to ship the source code of your entire program, with the same semantics about linking as the GPL. That does NOT at ALL mean you need to ship the entire SaaS offering, just the offending component. It does not include things that communicate with that program over the network. And that's only if that is your choice to remediate the license violation in the first place: if you really "mentally copied" some code, you can have the code in question rewritten.

You may be confusing the AGPL with SSPL. MongoDB switched to the SSPL from the AGPL, wherein terms were added that would imply that you essentially do have to open source the entire SaaS offering, not just the components that make up the program. Whether this is even enforceable or not is curious to me, because honestly, it seems dubious: how can a copyright license apply to other copyrighted works arbitrarily that are otherwise unrelated?

However, AGPL is even less stringent than it seems. Because it aims to be a copyright license rather than a contract, the AGPL is phrased in such a way that it is not "triggered" unless the code is actually modified[1]:

With the AGPL, there are two triggers that both have to occur for the source code sharing requirement to kick in:

1. You’ve modified the program.

2. You make the modified program available to people remotely through a computer network.

This is at least in part why the AGPL is arguably not that great, but it's a minor point in the grand scheme of things.

This is not true.

They are incompatible sets of axioms, but they can describe the same set of shapes, although one system is going to be a lot more inconvenient than the other. The differences are logically interesting, but about as incompatible as choosing to make the origin of a euclidean system one corner of the room instead of another.

In contrast physical theories contradict each other by making different predictions which can be falsified.

This is a strawman. It's trivially easy to do what you're describing.

ls | xargs rm

And in fact, a better implementation is

rm *

The Unix philosophy doesn't say "Every program interfaces intuitively and correctly with every other program". It says that programs should be able to work together. There are arguments that coreutils such as ls aren't following the Unix philosophy, but they lie much more in that ls has dozens of arguments than they do in your contrived example not working.

The commute home for me in December is "at night". Sunset on December 1st will be at 4:25 pm. For that matter, I'd also be leaving for work before sunrise.

Driverless cars need to be able to operate at all hours, in all seasons, and in all climates and conditions.

If it is considered to be "not safe to operate at night" then the article's title of "Driverless cars may already be safer than human drivers" is working out of cherrypicked conditions in cherrypicked locales.

San Francisco and Phoenix (the places cited in the article) are not representative of the conditions for a significant part of the United States.

Would you rather take a human taxi from Minneapolis airport to Lake City at 6pm on December 1st or a driverless one?
My ideal community is a college campus. I know there's a lot not to like, but they've ruined regular cities and towns for me.

Perfectly manicured lawns and open green spaces. Everyone has a purpose. Housing and facilities are planned to meet needs. Walkable environment where cars are often times banned. Wifi everywhere. Health services are provided for all residents. Maker spaces are still a thing on campuses providing access to fabrication equipment, 3d printers, etc. Libraries with access to any book or journal article you could want. There's a strong sense of community and comradery - even strangers feel connected to one another. Even the police are nicer, as they try to build a lot of good will with the community.

It's easy to meet people and engage in activities and hobbies. You can walk to a show put on by the local orchestra or drama group, go to a game played by the local team, eat food prepared by the local culinary students, or visit an art exhibition featuring world-famous or local artists. Or you can get involved in any of these activities by playing music or sports or making art!

And that's not to mention the world-class lectures and research that happen all the time.

When I graduated and went into the "real world" I was isolated and alone. Everything felt so chaotic and unorganized, and a huge step down from the kind of close community I was used to. In the "real world" everything seems centered around commerce and consumerism instead of people. I was unable to find anything like I had experienced in college, so I just went back and never left.
1) there are technology workers in solano county that commute to walnut creek or SF. 2) technology workers spend money at local restaurants. Workers in solano county that work in service industry jobs with 60 minute commutes to napa, walnut creek, or SF for high wages instead have well paying job opportunities within a 20 minute commute.

Everything a rural county can produce is a necessary input for a city. There will be some new jobs, cities have all kinds of jobs that a rural area doesn't need. And there will be some increased need for the existing jobs.

> soon it will not make sense to pay for many things hosted because of open source alternatives that are very easy to run nowadays

You underestimate how many businesses don't want to waste their time running things in-house that they don't have to. So your point maybe true for B2C, but B2B will always have a need for SaaS. I pay for a lot of software that I could run myself, but I don't because I can't be bothered. I have my own software to maintain.
I do believe the same but don't think the comparison has any meaning. Any car in the traffic has to second-guess how other cars would behave, no matter whether the car has a human driver or not. If the overall traffic is actually overspeeding and trying not to be detected (can often happen when the speed limit is substantually lower), it is indeed safer to overspeed as well even though it would be illegal. Human drivers can---and will gladly---take that risk; driverless cars have less freedom to do so.

If driverless cars have learned so much that it can simulate the human behavior, you can't really expect that they would be much safer. So driverless cars have to behave differently from other cars for the safety reason, and that behavior would affect human drivers. Humans will eventually adapt, but not until a substantial portion of road traffic is driverless, and meanwhile human drivers will be more vulnerable. I think roads with no human drivers will be eventually needed for safety much earlier than the driverless driving becomes a norm.
The modified date was supposedly not updated. (But now it is?)
Any time you can upgrade a town I'm ok with it.
I welcome competition to the towns between SF and San Jose. They are very expensive to live in, and the amount of municipal taxes I pay for bad public schools is scandalous. I suspect bad governance that managed to get away with it because of tech money and the good times rolling.
Your just using the word alliance to define your reality.

Think about it. It's the other way around. Reality is not defined by the word alliance, clearly there exists a gradient of countries who are more friendly than others.

Stick with the intention of the word by the person using it not the absolutist pedantic definition.

> I'm still waiting for one that advertises that it can drive a rural road in the Midwest after sunset in the winter with poor cell reception as it goes through valleys.

When the automobile was first introduced it couldn't drive far from gas stations, it needed oil changes at garages that didn't exist yet and you couldn't drive to a far away town that didn't have a gas station. It got better.

I could tell that same story about laptops, or airplanes or boats or washing machines or even the electrical and water supply to your house.

All products get better over time, but even now there are hundreds of millions of people that live in places that simply don't need all the stuff you mentioned, so for them a self-driving vehicle is already extremely useful.

It's even possible the product will be "finished" and your use case will never be satisfied, because it isn't deemed important enough to include. For example, I recently drove a vehicle 1,050 miles on the world's most remote road [1]. 99.99999% of all vehicles sold in the entire world can't make that drive because they can't carry enough fuel. Just because I wanted to do it with a vehicle, that doesn't mean auto manufactures are going to suddenly add duel fuel tanks to all vehicles.

(FWIW, the Land Cruiser 70 series comes from the factory with dual 90 liter diesel tanks, and can drive the road end to end no problem directly form the factory. So ONE manufacturer decided it was worth satisfying that hyper specific use case, but obviously the others do not)

Yes, you have a use case that the product doesn't do yet.

Yes, it likely will in the future.

Yes, you will have to wait.

A better way to test whether student have learned or not is by looking at the question and answers that the student went through while interacting with the chat bot. Especially evaluating the follow-up questions that the student asked, which should depict whether how much he actually read and understood the information. So technically by feeding the q and a of the chat interaction on a subject that the student had with the chat bot should be fed back into chatbot to assess the student understanding and then probably conductive verbal and other forms of testing. Maybe writing on a paper. I have learned a great deal using these tools since they came. I think people are looking them the wrong way, and people just prompting and getting answers. Versus how much of the thought process that goes into it in understanding the concepts.
This is the beginning of our decades-long collaboration with Solano’s residents, elected officials and agencies, as well as the many Solano stakeholders, including Travis Air Force Base, labor, business, agriculture, educators, police, fire, conservation, and many others.

For some decades now, the federal government has periodically made noises about closing Travis AFB. It could serve its mission from anywhere on the West Coast and, last I checked, it was one of two Superfund sites in Solano County.

In IIRC 2018, Amtrak opened a new train station near Travis AFB in line with Solano County's rail plan which was cooked up by the incorporated cities getting together and dividing up the political pie, then hiring a consultant to "pick the best sites for new stations* for each city in question.

In other words, it was not the consultant's job to pick the best rail station sites for the county as a whole. Furthermore, Travis AFB, not being an incorporated city, had no representation at this meeting.

Encroachment is a major factor in deciding to close military installations. Their already built station makes it more likely that Travis will eventually be closed.

It is -- or was when I lived there -- the single largest employer in the county to the tune of a billion dollars annually. This will gut the economy of the county, leave it with a Superfund site to clean up that will be challenging to redevelop and likely create a new Superfund site wherever they decide to relocate the functions of Travis.

Other than that minor detail, it sounds like a nice little plan. I wish them luck.
> "sex positive" actually means "pro-prostitution, pro-porn, anti-tradition and anti traditional morality", couched in terms that try to cast a better light on it and to cast people who object to it as joyless prudes. It's a political term.

No it isn't inherently either politically loaded or a euphemism or proxy for any particular platform, no more than 'liberal', 'conservative', 'libertarian', 'family', 'hard-working'. It merely means regarding sex and sexual expression as good and healthy.
But there is no shortage of groups who want to coopt it to their political views, just like the other labels mentioned.
Defining a term by not affirmatively defining what it means, but in terms of which policy platforms or bag a group opposes, is a pretty clear sign when it's being hijacked or coopted by an interest group.

> > This just sounds like "Sex is good, but don't show it to anyone but people you care about".
> Yeah, that's "just" the way it's been for most societies in history.

Yes, and that only means that technology did not exist until now to simultaneously handle micropayments, security, anonymity, customer acquisition, billing, subscriptions. We could say the exact same thing about most SaaS business models.

The thrust of your comment is "What longer-term implications do current evolusions in modes of male-female interaction, online app-based dating, online porn, the monetization of male attention, etc. have for society, sexuality, psychology, morality, relationships, marriage etc.", which is very much an active discussion. Chris Williamson ('Modern Wisdom' [0]) and Dr Alok Kanojia ('HealthyGamerGG' [1]) are two excellent podcasters who interview a range of experts covering this and other areas regularly. Sample them and tell us what you think.

Akin to what you mention, another historical relationship trend that was just the way it's been for most societies in history for thousands of years, but is currently changing, is the increase in voluntary childlessness. Clearly there are a lot of enormous trends changing, with major societal implications. As you allude to, there isn't much neutral, fact-based research or discourse on these trends.

And the next one will be when AI displaces humans in online sex work; humans using AIs (Replika, et al) as boyfriends/girlfriends.

Check out my entry, marcel: https://marceltheshell.org.

E.g., find the newest vlc instance and kill it (a command that an acquaintance needs frequently, for some reason):

ps | select (p: p.name == 'vlc') | sort (p: p.create_time) | tail 1 | (p: p.signal(9))

- ps produces a stream of Process objects.

- select binds each Process to p, and then selects those whose name is vlc. (Anything in parens is a Python function. You can include or omit "lambda".)

- sort by create time, (using a Python function to specify the sort criterion).

- tail 1 as in Linux, to get the newest qualifying Process.

- Run the function p.signal(9), which kills the Process.
