> the phenomenon has even got a name - "poison flight plan".

Maybe, but it must not be a common phrase because your comment is the first result when I search for it.

And it is also mentioned in this article: http://www.aero-news.net/subsite.cfm?do=main.textpost&id=ce2...

And that's about it? Do you have any other sources?
The US was so complacent in their idea that nobody would ever attack them that even commentators live on air speculated that some sort of navigation error might have caused it. Even after the second plane hit.
Stepping into the thread, but as someone who agrees with the copyright office, in the case you laid out, I think there would be a better argument there actually for copyright, yes. Personally, I disagree with the last part (a tired argument about AI imho) but it feels like it would have a better argument.

> An artist that trains a model on only her own work should be able to copyright its output.

Why?

If she made a LORA, well she's using someone else's Stable Diffusion checkpoint, which was trained on things she wasn't permitted to use.

If she made a fine tune, same thing.

If she trains the UNets and the VAE from scratch, on just her own work, what did she use for conditioning? CLIP? Which was trained on LAION2b?

Did she also train her own text encoder? What is her conditioning approach?

All these models, why are we talking about them? If it weren't for training on the unpermissioned data, these models would be toiling away in obscurity.

If someone conducts a bunch of unethical medical research, and they discover some important biomechanics, do I get to repeat all of that stuff, "but ethically?" Am I untainted? If the police discover real evidence in a procedurally problematic way, for example by torturing a confession that turns out to be true, do they get a "do-over"?

> but only if the provenance of its input is carefully audited

All I am saying is, you haven't "carefully audited" the feel-good story "artist that trains a model on only her own work should be able to copyright its output."

Show HN: My Simple QR Maker
I wanted to make a QR for a local fund-raiser, and couldn't find one online that I loved - so I made this. Add a picture, change colors, customize the CSS (the QR Code is an SVG made of "rect" elements), download the QR as a .png, or copy and paste it somewhere if you're not using Firefox.

I didn't put in ads, trackers (that I'm aware of), etc. I'm using a CDN for bootstrap.

Hopefully this helps make someone else's day a little less difficult.
It's not too difficult. All you need is to generate many variations of potential words and check whether the sha256 hash matches the wanted leading characters. For example, check this text.

>> There’s a general rule about consumer electronics: The older a device becomes, the more competitors appear and prices fall. This was true for televisions, personal computers and portable music players.

>>It was supposed to happen with smartphones. But the iPhone has defied gravity.

Because it is not the right comparison. Not even for portable music players which was mostly dominated by iPod.

Quoting Steve Jobs [1].

> Apple view itself as a software company

I remember, possibly in the same conference Steve basically said Apple is an Software company, you just have to buy Apple's hardware to use it. In that sense. iPhone is not consumer electronics. It is not hardware only. That is why you see all the other examples are race to the bottom for Consumer Electronics. If you look at Software, like Windows, It has been in the dominating position for the past 3 decade.

It seems like such tools are more copyrightable because your decisions are having a larger impact.

I dont know where the line is though and that really blurs the line between “AI tools” and “non AI tools”. Probably the “grayest” example ive seen.
It will be yet another case of "It is okay when big tech does it".
I'm not saying this isn't true, but I find it very hard to believe there's a pool of shadow jobs that are completely unadvertised. Whenever I chat with recruiters about the potential for part time jobs in retirement, they tell me 'that sounds nice, but we never see employers open to that'. I guess if you've 'made your bones' with BigCo and you're in a very valuable niche you might could pull it off, but otherwise it would very much be an uphill slog.
> Gold is the only currency that kept it's value through time.

Papers have been written on how it does not:

* https://www.nber.org/papers/w18706

* https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3667789

See also Roy Jastram's The Golden Constant: The English and American Experience 1560 to 1976 on how it's no good against infaltion:

> Andre Sharon, head of the international research department at Drexel Burnham, Inc., notes, “the value of gold essentially derives from its capacity to preserve real capital and purchasing power.”† I select this particular quotation because of the prestige of the organization and the position of the spokesman, but statements in this vein can be found in great numbers. They can be traced back for generations and in many countries. How can this proposition so contrary to statistical fact become so widely believed and quoted? Possibly because gold has preserved capital in cataclysmic cases it is easy to infer that it can be trusted to do the same in less severe circumstances. To extrapolate from gold’s protection in singular catastrophes to its use as a strategy against cyclical infation is an example of faulty inductive reasoning.

Big rocks as currency is one example of how any arbitrary object can be treated as such:

Gold (or silver) bars and coins are nothing more than shiny rocks and are just as arbitrary.
I'm no psych, but this sounds more like a description of the autism spectrum than introversion.
We will need at least one- if not several- research and data capture breakthroughs to get to that point. One person just doesn't create enough data to effectively train models with our current techniques, no matter what kind of silicon you have. It might be possible, but research and data breakthroughs are much harder to predict than chip and software developer ergonomics improvements. Sometimes the research breakthroughs just never happen.
Batteries have a given lifespan and number of cycles. If my swapped battery isn't either the same mileage or better, then I'm literally degrading the quality of my car by swapping batteries. I have no guarantees I'd get the same one back on the return trip.

This is equivalent to swapping a motor in a gasoline car, not the gas itself. What happens if I swap to a motor that has 100k miles on it on my brand new car? What about one that was poorly maintained (the EV equivalent would be... discharged to low SoC, kept at high SoC often, charged only using DCFC, etc)? You can't detect all of these things or directly measure them, but just like changing the oil too infrequently in a motor they do damage the battery over time.

If somehow you could actually always support 'a next battery swap fixes it', then you would have to charge an extremely high cost for such battery swap. There's no way around that.
I saw once the proposal that revenues from a carbon tax should be redistributed equally.

It seems like a practical implementation of a bonus-malus system.
Tensor libraries are high-level, so anything below them can be hyper-optimized. This includes the application model (do we still need processes for ML-serving/training tasks?), operating system (how can Linux be improved or bypassed?), and hardware (general purpose computing comes with a ton of cruft - instruction de-coding, caches/cache coherency, compute/memory separation, compute/GPU separation, virtual memory - how many of these thins can be elided, with extra transistors put to better use?). There's so much money in generative AI that we're going to see a bunch of well-funded startups doing this work. It's very exciting to be back at the "Cambrian explosion" of the early mainframe/PC era.
> Saying this should have been handled as a known error is totally reasonable but that's broadly the same as saying they should have just written bug free code.

I think there's a world of difference between writing bug free code, and writing code such that a bug in one system doesn't propagate to others. Obviously it's unreasonable to foresee every possible issue with a flight plan and handle each, but it's much more reasonable to foresee that there might be some issue with some flight plan at some point, and structure the code such that it doesn't assume an error-free flight plan, and the damage is contained. You can't make systems completely immune to failure, but you can make it so an arbitrarily large number of things have to all go wrong at the same time to get a catastrophic failure.

I was skeptical when decided to go for an MBA M2 but right now I’m absolutely love it. Being able to just pick the laptop up, walk elsewhere because of it’s extremely lightweight. Charge once every night at home and don’t have to worry about battery at all.

"Intel ran general purpose software,"

Intel did not actually want to do this, and only between a series of lawsuits and licensing deals did it happen.

AMD was a competitor to Intel for decades and only has really recently made a dent. At the end of the day delivering products and having a ecosystem developers can use are important. Nvidia's competitors have not delivered on that yet.
I do think it's the relatively superficial uniformity of it, regardless of the level of abstraction at which you're operating, which eventually makes things crack.

My hunch is top performing lisp devs are capable of holding more of this in their head at once than mere mortals. A key benefit of more conventional languages is you can limit the scope of your concerns and reasoning (within limits), however, that does prevent you from being able to make whole system optimisations, which is notably what Symbolics (at least in graphics) were outperforming everyone else at. What the Symbolics devs achieved seems to me only viable by having an unusually capable team focused on a specific domain for a long time, without too much diversion/distraction. The bus factor must have been horrific.

This thread made me go off and look more into this, and I couldn't help thinking the software industry has really lost something with the commercial failure of these very deeply specialised and incredibly high end tools. (ICAD was the other). It's odd how people could justify spending huge amounts on the hardware just to run the software, but didn't want to pay for the software when it became possible to run it on just about anything, and so the software stops being developed.
Why share the karma? They submitted a dupe -- if anything, it should have redirected to the already posted one...12+ hrs is a long time. (I understand it's a delicate dance between surfacing unnoticed posts and OC)
At my prior megacorp where I was a senior leader we analyzed closely remote work patterns and in office patterns and found a pronounced improvement in productivity and employee happiness when employees choose how to work best for themselves. However our aging senior leader declared everyone must work in the office because it’s how his career unfolded. People tried to talk him down, but he wouldn’t accept any data but doubled down hard on hand waving culture arguments. It evolved into “it’s for the children,” despite the out of college hires had done considerably better than other demographics remotely.

No company has provided evidence of any efficiency gain in office, while there is plenty of evidence of gain with universal flexible work arrangements. Even Amazon, a very data driven culture, has no data to back up RTO. It’s just a gut feeling from Andy.

N.b., when my prior company declared all senior leaders must work in the office 5 days a week, I did the only honorable thing and quit loudly and went to a more interesting company paying better with a more interesting role that doesn’t feel the need to control me physically. If employers value controlling my body over my contribution, they can have neither.
> I can also use local tcp for websockets. I have no idea if that's possible with unix domain sockets.

The thing that makes this possible or impossible is how your library implements the protocol, at least in C/C++. The really bad protocol libraries I've seen like for MQTT, AMQP, et. al. all insist on controlling both the connection stream and the protocol state machine and commingle all of the code for both. They often also insist on owning your main loop which is a bad practice for library authors.

A much better approach is to implement the protocol as a separate "chunk" of code with well-defined interfaces for receiving inputs and generating outputs on a stream, and with hooks for protocol configuration as-needed. This allows me to do three things that are good:
* Choose how I want to do I/O with the remote end of the connection.
* Write my own main loop or integrate with any third-party main loop that I want.
* Test the protocol code without standing up an entire TLS connection.

I've seen a LOT of libraries that don't allow these things. Apache's QPID Proton is a big offender for me, although they were refactoring in this direction. libmosquitto provides some facilities to access the filedescriptor but otherwise tries to own the entire connection. So on and so forth.

Edit: I get how you end up there because it's the easiest way to figure out the libraries. Also, if I had spare time on my hands I would go through and work with maintainers to fix these libraries because having generic open-source protocol implementations would be really useful and would probably solve a lot of problems in the embedded space with ad-hoc messaging implementations.

If the protocol library allows you to control the connection and provides a connection-agnostic protocol implementation then you could replace a TLS connection over TCP local sockets from OpenSSL with SPI transfers or CAN transfers to another device if you really wanted to. Or Unix Domain Sockets, because you own the file descriptor and you manage the transfers yourself.

Citizen LLM developers are becoming a thing. Everyone trains (mostly fine-tunes) models today.
I'm continually amazed how much people fall for language manipulation."Hate speech" is almost always speech the powerful want silenced. And, what kind of speech do the powerful censor?

* The truth whenever it is inconvenient to them

* speech that threatens their power

* speech that hampers their agendas

Just about everyone who decries "hate speech" is actually perfectly fine with it, as long as it is directed towards the people they themselves hate. Here is one example: https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1523476586330136576

The offender, Caroline Reilly, called for literal genocide on Twitter, and was never censored! You can't get more hateful than that. I wish I knew how to wake people up to the fact that "hate speech" laws are nothing but a power grab for the already-powerful.
Ok, one thing is the market & the tech. Another thing is share prices.

Nvidia shares is probably overpriced right now, but we're talking about the demand for its technology and its market dominance.

None of which require advertising.
I think it comes more easily to some people than others but I see no reason why it cannot be trained. In my personal case (I find myself often finding and wishing I could solve such problems) I don't have a very high threshold of accepting the "existing state" if it's not comfortable for me.
What is the specific harm if someone takes naked pictures of me without consent? Just the loss of my dignity as a human being. That's an abstract non-economic loss.

My data is my own data. Someone using it, along with dark art individual ad targeting methods to influence my preferences, is also the loss of my dignity as a human being. All humans deserve to be free of such coercive manipulation.

The fact that big economic firms are the ones doing this, is doubly problematic because our "democratic"-capitalistic systems are to a fairly high degree one-dollar-one-vote systems.
Speech that isn’t left wing opinions or neutral. Just like movements that aren’t left wing are “threats to democracy,” politicians that aren’t left wing are fascists etc. Ideas and policies aren’t allowed to be right wing, only allowed if they move us further to the left as a nation.
According to Newegg, you can buy a 16GB RAM kit for $32 *total*. A $200 upgrade should be getting you 64GB+ and base models should really have a minimum of 16GB.
Humans produce art in part by taking in what others have created before them and the output is some combination of many input factors, including influences by the works of others (whether we're talking painting or architecture). And today the influence by pre-existing art would be likely to be considerable in terms of factors, given the Internet, access to art and visual media broadly.

As AI advances radically over the next decade or two, it's going to end up being comically hypocritical to pretend humans are more deserving as originators.

> I think extroversion and introversion are just orthogonal skill sets. The solution can simply be “get better at extroversion.”

No. Introversion and extroversion aren't skills, they're things that you are. You might as well say that the solution to being short is to just 'get better at being tall'. It doesn't work that way.

Introversion is not shyness. Introversion is not social anxiety. Introversion means that you expend energy when you deal with other people, and extroverts gain energy when dealing with other people.

I'm introverted by nature. I function perfectly well in social situations. I can do small talk, I can give presentations, the whole bit. But doing those things mentally wears me out. The bigger the group I'm dealing with is, the faster I get drained, and once my energy is drained I have to get some time away from the group to recharge.

Extroverts are the opposite. Their mental batteries get drained by being alone, and they get charged up via social interactions.
No idea what you're taking about. Throwing arcane technical terms about does not advance your argument. Nor does the triumph or obscurity of the AI research elide the copyright interest of artists in how their own work is used.

Exactly. PNAC wasn't conspiracy theory at all. It wasn't even an "open secret": They had a website, the signatories were public, many of the signatories were in the Bush W. administration. PNAC was discussed often on all the talking head political shows. It became the plan after 9/11.

I think some people a decade or so later thought it was a conspiracy theory because they thought it implied 9/11 was done, or allowed to happen, on purpose in order to begin the regime changes outlined in the plan.

But with PNAC this was their world view and plan, and 9/11 allowed them to move forward. Wrong plan, right time.
> the only correct response to which is to contact the state government and complain

I have done this. It resulted in the gov asking me to prove it. I ran a study and responded that something like 80% of drivers (I don't have numbers with me any more) go above the posted 25 mph speed limit.

The results? Nothing. The gov said thanks for the data and ignored it.

To this day, that stretch of road continues to see daily speeding tickets given. It is not a speed limit for safety, but for revenue generation.
Great. It should be fixed by replacing the FORTRAN systems with a modern solution. It's not that it can't be done, it's that the engineers don't bother to start the process (which is a side-effect of bad incentive structure at the employment level).
