Are you saying socialists don’t advocate for socialism? Obviously they do. Why would socialists not want the means of production to be in the hands of the masses? Also what do you think anti-capitalists advocate for? Not capitalism :).

The Nordic countries aren’t socialist. They’re capitalism with some welfare.
It was a wasted neighborhood because Vulcan bought it all up and then sat on it for years while the land appreciated.

There was a good Joeys, Chandler’s crab house, and more which died during the wait. Now it’s Amazon central with carbon copies of restaurants from other places and ridiculous lines. Not a locals spot. It does look better now, and is walkable during work, but to find many day-to-day basic services requires leaving the neighborhood.

Originally there was a Central Park plan that Vulcan proposed, but when that didn’t pan out they gave up on development for a couple decades.

Denny Park used to be a huge green space for gathering, with outdoor movies and concerts, but those parcels have been bought from the city and sold against the wish of the commons. They’ve also closed the basketball courts (!?).

Not the guy you asked, but my guess is that they're are not interested in how and why the computer works [1].

They probably more interested on how the computers can work for them. These students most likely to work in the banking or finance sectors where the payments are good and bonuses are awesome. Don't got me wrong though, they are good students and engineers, but under-the-hood of computers are not their main interests or passions. For example, someone can become a car enthusiast but can't be bother to open the engine bonnet or pump the tires.

Meningitis is literally “inflammation of the meninges”.

So any infectious agent that reaches the brain can easily become meningitis (if you are a thing that can reach the brain then if you cause inflammation you are definitionally meningitis).

So if there was a prion that caused inflammation you would have prion meningitis.

The thing that makes meningitises specifically a problem is that the inflammation itself will kill you, and the inflammation means onset is acute. Other pathogens that successfully reach the brain aren’t noticed until after they’ve caused enough direct damage to cause noticable symptoms (which is generally long after simply stopping the infection could correct the damage)

Your reasoning is sound.
However, the problem is, as pointed out by the document within the article, and I quote:

"The problem, in short, is that the law targets websites as a whole, rather
than at the level of the individual page or subdomain"

Basically, this law would do nothing to prevent minors from accessing porn. It would just single out porn companies that are based/operate in the USA. And would only prevent direct access to them. Search engine results, visual search, metadata based content linking/recommendations, etc. are completely out of the scope.

It also would not apply to any social media sites that carry less than 33% porn content. So basically you could still go to X or Reddit and search for porn there too. Even r/pornhub for pornhub reposts.

It does not apply to apps that do search porn through API calls to porn sites that can be easily installed from the appstores.

Want to actually regulate this stuff?
Make all internet connection capable devices be verifiable at the hardware level. Make it so apart from logging in to Google/Apple you have to also log in with a government issued ID through your ISP to some kind of verification portal/account. And link that verification to government developed software running within the device's OS which would block functionalities and can't be turned off/blocked without the device completely freezing.

Want a less draconian/90% solution? Make the top 3 search engines(Google, Bing, Yahoo) and the top 5 social media sites that carry porn (X, Reddit, Facebook, etc.) block access to pornographic content through Government issued ID verification.

Good luck with actually enforcing any of those though.

And I would say workarounds are within reach of the average teenager. Mainly in the 90% solution. Just change the search engine.

I know of a couple related SCOTUS cases on the topic -- both split 5-4:

California v. Ciraolo (1985)[1]:

> Question: Did the warrantless, aerial observation of Ciraolo's back yard from an altitude of 1,000 feet constitute an illegal search and violate the Fourth Amendment?

> Conclusion: The divided Court found that the observation did not violate the Constitution. Chief Justice Burger reasoned that the Fourth Amendment protections regarding the home had never been absolute: for example, police officers are not obligated to shield their eyes when passing homes on public streets or sidewalks. Since the observations of the Santa Clara officers was "nonintrusive" and "took place within public navigable airspace," their actions were consistent with the Fourth Amendment. "Any member of the public flying in this airspace who glanced down could have seen everything that these officers observed," concluded Burger. The dissenters, led by Justice Powell, argued that this decision was a significant departure from the Court's holding in Katz v. United States (1967) which established a two-part test to evaluate privacy claims.

Kyllo v. United States (2001)[2]:

This case has to do with use of thermal-imaging (without a warrant) to detect if marijuana was being grown inside a house. The court held that it was an unlawful search because it was effectively using technology to peer inside the home without a warrant. While that's not the same as looking into someone's backyard, the opinions have a lot to say about police using technology to erode the privacy of one's home.[3]

That’s just capitalism. Capitalism was never ever without any regulation.

The scary thing is how many IBM "experts" from the quantum computing teams fled to quantum startups. I interviewed with some after interning at a FAANG, and as a female in tech with family members who have run tech companies, I like to think my BS radar is pretty good.

It went off constantly with a certain "type" of "startup executive", and I noticed they were all former IBM or Intel. I'm not a negative person but found them all to be visibly political, all sounded like that didn't actually do anything really real, and talked a big game that the company outputs didn't seem to match.

I guess they are costing the quantum startups (aka VCs) a lot of money for very little actual work. This is just my observation and just my experience but I'm keeping tabs because it will be interesting to see how many quantum startups fail over the next few years, and which were run by IBM execs. I have my hypotheses ready.

Or some other mix - geographic, for example. Caltech could easily fill its quite small freshman class from Los Angeles high schools, but it tries to get students from all over the country.

I am from Washington state. I was admitted to Caltech in 1968. In those days, we all had to take the SAT. The Dean of Students told me my math SAT score was lower than they liked to see, but they admitted me anyway. In my class there were two students from Washington state. I recall there were also two students from Washington state in the classes preceding and following mine.

I graduated from Caletch in 1972 with good grades, went on to graduate school and a rewarding career in science and engineering.

[edit] I just reread Bostonian's comment above. I should emphasize that I didn't get the impression from the Dean that Caltech felt it was "devaluing academic measures" by admitting me. There are lots of academic measures besides the SAT. The Caltech faculty and administration understood this 55 years ago.
I am aware of those, but from what I understand the pre-80s ones are still better. I’m sure given a little time someone who is chemex expert will chime in and give a definitive comment.
Realistically an AI model is basically just a very complicated piece of software. The model weights are akin to the software code, the model outputs are akin to the outputs a user of the software creates, and the datasets are akin to the intellectual property put into the software by the developer to create the code.

In the same way that a developer could not simply steal someone elses intellectual property in order to develop a feature of a piece of software, one cannot simply steal the intellectual property to adjust the model weights. The main difference is its generally quite easy to see in practice if a model has utilized some intellectual property (because for example you can ask ChatGPT to recite the first 100 words of Harry Potter) compared to another piece of software where you'd need access to the source code or developers thoughts (which could only be achieved through litigation, in most circumstances).

I think a great many people come up with convoluted answers to this question because they are uncomfortable with the reality that these very large organizations have essentially stolen hoards of intellectual property, and now that the horse has bolted people want to justify not closing the barn door. It seems to me very simple: to train an AI model on data, you must respect its copyright. The model weights should be copywriteable by the developers of the model (even if the law currently does not allow this), and the outputs of the model should be copywriteable by the person who interacted with the model (software) to produce the outputs.

The analogy with Photoshop is extremely simple: If some other software invented Gaussian blurring and copywrited it, then Adobe would have to license that technology from them to include it as a feature in Photoshop. The actual photoshop software/code would be copywrited by Adobe, and if someone created an blurry image with Photoshop they can copywrite it.

I think people only disagree with this due to some sense that the process of translating data to model weights is "automatic" or "computational" in nature. You could in principle get a person to, by hand, go through millions of data sets and compute the changes to the model weights. This is no different to someone writing a piece of code, checking someone elses approach, and adjusting their own code after the fact. It just happens that we have developed very effective tooling to automate the adjusting of the code.
And it is, I use that argument regularly when people want to spin up a new project in a new language when the tooling doesn't support the new language and it's an uphill battle to make it work.
Sure, and that's why Zig or D are not in the any of the top 10 lists.

You have to get a lot benefits to justify switching to a new default against the current critical mass.

You could look into startup grants and accelerators which can give you some funding up front and don't take equity.

With friends/family (and to an extent, banks) you can ask for a loan instead of a gift, with the idea of paying them back (or with interest, if they're needy friends or banks...). You can also just straight up ask for donations (food, shelter, live with family/friends) to get your thing up and going.

There's also "slower funds" out there for tiny projects if you look around. You can also shop around for angel investors who want something like a fixed revenue share for certain years, without "owning your thing" or "being on the board". But the more people you take money from, the more "needy people" you'll have to deal with, even if on paper they don't own a thing.

In all sorts of places, not least counting things. Mathematics is about equivalences; the point of saying 2 + 2 = 4 isn't to make some funny marks on paper or pray to the platonic void, it's to say that if you have something that's 2-like and combine it with something that's 2-like in a way that's +-like, then the result will be =-like to something 4-like, in the same sense of "like".
But that problem is already solved.

Copyright holders are already protected from (I.e. can legally prohibit) distribution of obvious copies, or clearly derivative works.

Regardless of how they were produced by hand, copy machine, Photoshop or with a model.

The new problem is that artists styles are being “stolen” by incorporating their copyrighted work into models without their permission.

And that problem can easily be solved if using copyrighted material to create models is declared NOT fair use.

Artists could still allow models to be built from their work, but on their terms. If they wish to do that.

A famous artist, that doesn’t mind being commercial, could sell their own unique model to let fans create art in that artist’s style, while not having their style “ripped” by others.

Or just keep their style to themselves, for their own work, as artists have done for centuries.

(Of course, with greater effort, their style could still be recreated - styles are not protected unless they are trademarked - but the recreation would have to be done without using the artist’s copyrighted works.)
