If it was a copyright violation to use it that way without a license, the ToS would not need to explicilty probibit it (though it might still do so for the sake of clarity.)

OTOH, ToS and other contracts limit behavior in ways that the law itself would otherwise not, that's the whole point of having them.
There are a lot of factors at play. But I think the biggest one is lack of expertise in the community. For postgress isn't that hard to hire a professional with 10 years of real world experience.

Besides that you need to keep in mind that scylla isn't a silver bullet. There are some workloads that it can't handle very well. Where I work we tried to use it in workload with high read and writes and it had trouble to keep up.

In the end we switched back to postgres + redis because it was cheaper.
I think the article's mention of the James Bryce quote, "no man is bound to discredit his own relic," is a pretty good summary of the greater whole.

I’m very sensitive to coil whine (and have documented hyperacusis for high-pitched noises) but I’ve had no issues with the Belkin wireless fast charger; BUT if you’ve had this issue with all the different makes and models perhaps it is the coil in the phone and not the one in the charger that is faulty? There’s a coil in each.
The definition of 'woman' is irrelevant here, as the conference is not strictly limited to people who are women or non-binary:

>Earlier in the week, the organization addressed calls to ban men from the conference by saying that "male allyship is necessary" to work toward overall inclusivity and also that federal law prohibited discrimination based on gender.

So even if you made people get their vaginas out when they checked in, there is nothing to stop people who aren't women by any definition from being assholes and attending a conference that's clearly not intended to be a space primarily for them.
Most of those slides concern about the physics part of time measurement (GPS and atomic clock, etc.). While this is interesting in its own right, in order to understand how MY computer obtains the current time, a more relevant question is “how does a home computer measure the latency of a packet sent from a remote time server”? Does it measure the durations of several roundtrips and take the average duration as latency? What if congestion suddenly occurs during some roundtrip? I always think that these questions are more mysterious than the physical ones.
I do not think that using the lower heating value is really dishonest, especially in the context of this discussion.

The lower heating value corresponds to the heat actually produced during burning.

The higher value is based on the fact that the exhaust gases contain water as a gas, and if that water were condensed into liquid water, an additional quantity of heat would be produced, the latent heat. Due to the low temperature of condensation, that latent heat cannot be easily recovered, except if it is used for hot water production or for home heating or for home cooling (e.g. with absorption chillers).

If instead of using combustion gases, the same heat engine would use heat from an external source, like also the thermophotovoltaic devices discussed here, the heat engine would function in the same way and with the same efficiency, when receiving the amount of heat corresponding to the lower heating value (assuming no heat losses during heat transfer).

> The list goes on, but having spent decades watching people debate passionately over why the planet is warming all while going further down the same path my only conclusion is that we just don't give a damn. When push comes to shove we would rather buy new cloths imported from the other side of the world, throw resources at new construction and gut job renovations, and will happily fly around the world on vacation rather than stay home and enjoy the world around us.

Yes exactly.

You hit on something that I often say, though we come at "solutioning" from opposite angles and, from the sounds of your comment, will find little agreement. What we agree on is that understanding anthropogenic global warming and its causes is important and can inform solutions, but it does not tell us what the "right" solutions are since we have other complicating factors to consider. Such as things like human rights, standards of living, morality and the role+purpose and limitations of government.

For some of us the debate is not over whether AGW is a scientifically understood phenomenon that represents a problem (even a critical problem at that). The debate is over what the solutions ought to be, what tools are the right tools for the job and what course corrections are considerable given factors that we must also contend with that lie outside of our scientific understanding of the problem.

Binance Turned Its Failed Token ICO into a Billion Dollar Windfall
No doubt that my limited understanding of these technologies came with some naive expectations of what's possible and how it should work.

Looking into it, and working through it, part of my experience was a lack of resources at the level of abstraction that I was trying to work in. It felt like I was missing something, with video editors that power billion dollar industries on one end, directly embedding ffmpeg libs into your project and doing things in a way that requires full understanding of all the parts and how they fit together on the other end, and little to nothing in-between.

Putting a glorified powerpoint in an mp4 to distribute doesn't feel to me like it is the kind of task where the prerequisite knowledge includes what the difference between yuv420 and yuv422 is or what Annex B or AVC are.

My initial expectation was that there has to be some in-between solution. Before I set out, what I had thought would happen is that I `npm install` some module and then just create frames with node-canvas, stream them into this lib and get an mp4 out the other end that I can send to disk or S3 as I please.* Worrying about the nitty gritty details like how efficient it is, many frames it buffers, or how optimized the output is, would come later.

Going through this whole thing, I now wonder how Instagram/TikTok/Telegram and co. handle the initial rendering of their video stories/reels, because I doubt it's anywhere close to the process I ended up with.

* That's roughly how my setup works now, just not in JS. I'm sure it could be another 10x faster at least, if done differently, but for now it works and lets me continue with what I was trying to do in the first place.
The FreeBSD kernel only runs on platforms where 32-bit sized and aligned ordinary loads and stores are atomic; this is a requirement that it demands of the hardware. This may not be (extremely) portable, or may not work for Swift, or userspace under some very weird runtime environments, but it is true of the vast majority of CPU hardware out there.

Only about half of landlords use property managers and less than all of those use YieldStar. If it's suggesting above-market rents that leave more units vacant then anyone who did would be at a competitive disadvantage against anyone who didn't, and then who would use them?

This doesn't imply that no one uses them, it implies that it's not an effective mechanism for price fixing. Because it has no enforcement mechanism; nothing to stop any individual landlord from charging a lower price to fill their unit faster to their own private advantage.

It's just a computer doing the things landlords have always done -- looking at the existing state of the market to figure out how much to ask.

It sure seems like they are programming things into the LLMs with how it often states "As a LLM I can't do that" sort of responses.

So how do we get LLMs to admit when they don't know something rather than confabulate? Seems like that would be a really great improvement to me.

This is such a tired old trope. Nobody who runs a business is going to just throw random Linux distros on random laptops. You buy a laptop that is supported with the OS that comes on it. You get the laptop, turn it on and it works.

You must also think that businesses are building their own custom PCs too.

Also the fact that you think business laptops are half the price of Apples shows your full ignorance. Enterprise laptops are rarely cheaper than Macs. Yeah you can go buy some POS Acer at BestBuy for $150, but no business worth working for is going to stick their employees with that trash.

Things were slightly cooler 1920s &30s as soot increased in the air, true warming began in the 1980s and has really taken off over the last 25 years. For reference we haven't béen above 380 ppm of CO2 in 100s of thousands of years. Last time the Earth was above 420 ppm (we are now over 425 ppm), global average temperature was 20 degrees hotter. Things are going to get crazy next few years. It won't be a slight warming, it will be devastating to our food supplies.

Not really comparable after paying for CoE for open category 152K SGD (US$104K), in Singapore there is a advanced registration fee called ARF,then there is additional tax on top. So a typical BMW X5 will be around SGD 540,000 (US$ 394,600) and that too for 10 years, after 10 years need to buy a new CoE or discard the car.

A Tesla Model S will be more than 400k for 10 years after that need another 100k for 10 year renewal.

Also fuel prices and road tax are high in Singapore which needs to be paid regularly besides buying costs.
> LLMs - as in the models, the weights - do not contain "reproduction of fictional works or the creation of derivative works based on fictional training inputs" in any meaningful sense.

Since portions of such works can be recovered in inference, they contain at least a lossily-compressed copy of the collection of works used in training. Reproduction isn’t pure coincidence.

Hypothetically: if we would to dump prompts and GPT answers and collect them in order to train some new network on it - would that be fair use or infringement? My guess is OpenAI would not look favorably upon that situation and they would claim infringement. Is there anything in their ToS about this?

Copyright doesn’t apply to consumption of a work, only redistribution. For example, it is not a violation of copyright for you to make many copies of a movie for personal use. Similarly, it is not a violation of copyright for an artist to learn by looking at other works, even if they then compete against the original work. OpenAI’s system is much more similar to calculating statistics from public artwork than copying and redistributing artwork.

Its not rationalising, its statistically choosing the next token. Also, generally the LLM doesn't get defensive (although its not always the case.)

Its not like a dementia patient not finding their keys and gradually convincing themselves that someone stole them instead. Because the alternative, that they are loosing cognitive faculties, is too horrific to acknowledge.

This is why its so annoyingly problematic. too much humanising, and not enough witnessing someone with dementia "confabulating"

It is noise, and nothing else.

That’s so interesting. My dog runs on a solar clock. He starts begging for his dentastick when it gets dark out, and stays in bed until the sun comes up in winter.
That'd be a very weak case as it rests entirely on a superficial comparison, but then since AI isn't a human and doesn't train like a human, it doesn't make much sense to equate these processes and apply the regulations made for humans wholesale
> The reason a work was created is immaterial to copyright law.

Quite to the contrary, it is central and not at all immaterial to fair use, which is both a part of statutory copyright law now and, more importantly and even before it was incorporated as such, a constitutional limit grounded in freedom of expression on the power of the Federal government to have and enforce copyright law.
Say we put up a ton of red tape around what you are allowed to train on to develop an LLM... how does that not result in a future where China (who ignores such laws) becomes the new world leader in AI/LLMs? I guess if we hobble the ability of US companies to make good LLMs, we'll all start using ChatBaidu instead of ChatGPT.
> do not contain "reproduction of fictional works or the creation of derivative works based on fictional training inputs" in any meaningful sense.

Except it does, and it's in a quite literal sense.

You painted a painting. I took a picture of it and compress it as .jpeg. Byte-wise the .jpeg file has no similarity to your original painting. For someone who doesn't know .jpeg, it's just garbage bytes.

So I didn't infringe your copyright by selling this .jpeg file. The user who decodes the .jpeg file and displays it on a monitor does.

Does it sound right? This is how "weights do not contain training data" argument works.

And before "how about artists who store this information in their brains?" Well human being is a special case for every law in every country. Just like selling a cow's liver is never the same as selling a man's, even they're both organic tissues. A human's brain is always going to be treated differently than a hard drive.
Oh that makes sense, and is probably a pretty simple and realistic reason that I was naive not to account for lol

I don’t have the source at hand, but a gas turbine is ridiculously inefficient for variable loads. At idle, fuel consumption can be ~35% of what it is at full power.

It would only need to charge for short time, and subsequently shut off. When a charge top-up is required, startup would be another rigamarole.

Now, rotary engines, that’s a different story…
Once you've discovered a torrent being seeded, is there no way to interrogate the seeders and/or the DHT itself, to find out the oldest active seeder registration on that torrent hash; and then use the time-of-oldest-observed-registration to rank torrents that claim to be "the same thing" in their metadata, but which have different piece-trie-hash-root?

I ask, because a similar heuristic is used in crypto wallet software, visibility-weighting the various "versions" of a crypto token with the same metadata, by (in part) which were oldest-created. (The logic being: scam clones of a thing need to first observe the real thing, before they can clone it. So the real thing will always come first.)

Of course, I'm assuming here that you're searching for an "expected to exist" release of a thing by a specific distributor, where the distributor has a known-to-you structured naming scheme to the files in their releases, and so you'll only be trying to rank "versions" of the torrent that all have identical names under this naming scheme, save for e.g. the [hash] part of the file name being different to match the content. This won't help if you're trying to find e.g. "X song by Y artist, by any distributor."

It's mostly convenience and some lock-in because of the thousands of notes that I have already stored in EN.

But there is also no other web clipper that I have seen that has all those clipping tools (article as is, simplified article, whole page, parts of page, bookmark, screenshot) plus such tight integration with a notetaking app: I can chose to store the clip in any of my EN notebooks or create anew notebook right in the clipper, same with tags.

But if the current troubles persist I'll most probable migrate to something else (that doesn't drain my wallet as much) even if it means losing a lot of note formatting.
Agree.

I'm actually on your side because I think copyright laws should be radically nerfed and things like books3 are greatly beneficial to society, but I wouldn't buy your argument about "no good way to read plain text files".

The text file contents all the text in the book in an (at the very least) machine-readable way, it is perfectly feasible to write a program to put it in ebook form or to play it as an audiobook, and then the text file becomes desirable for laypeople to read.

> Photoshop doesn’t provide you with copyrighted materials to work with when prompted or require ingesting other copyrighted works to work optimally. Language models do both.

They actually are not that different from Photoshop. Regarding providing you copyrighted materials, if you instruct it to generate something someone else already copyrighted, perhaps by using a feature meant to reproduce existing art style, you will generate an infringing work.

As for "ingesting of other copyrighted works to work optimally", you don't know what goes into designing and building Photoshop - how many third-party datasets or copyrighted assets, which get embedded deep into the application in a form that the end-user cannot discover or consume. You don't know, and it doesn't matter, because Adobe using copyrighted materials in building Photoshop does not propagate copyright claims to you the user/renter of Photoshop. Same can be argued about LLMs - copyrighted inputs from training set get sufficiently blended when turned into weights that you, the end user, should be shielded from any IP claims related to the training data.

(Yes, the last point enables "copyright laundering", but I'm not convinced this is a problem - not compared to regulatory environment trying to prevent it.)
frameworks only help us to be more productive in terms of time and security. if you have enough knowledge of a particular language, you can be very fast and secure in your applications.
> those maintainers have the right to modify and distribute changes in accordance to the license.

Sure, but this is a "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" situation. The authors of this blog post are asking distro maintainers to not do it, and IMO giving good reasons.

> While I agree that users shouldn't be reporting breakage caused by distro maintainers,

One of the reasons I brought up the jwz-vs-Debian Xscreensaver kerfuffle from a few years ago is because it was a great example of how it's not sufficient to just wave your hands and say "well, users should be filing bugs against the distro, not against upstream." Yes, they should, but empirically they don't and they probably never will.

We need to figure out a solution for the real world as it exists, where upstream maintainers have to waste time and energy on bug reports that have nothing to do with them. OSS maintenance is enough of a headache as it is with real bugs that are actually your fault. It feels both against the spirit of OSS, and just plain unsustainable, to pile onto volunteers the hassle of dealing with users who are angry at a change their distro made.
