Any time you make a copy of an expressive work without express permission from the author (in the form of a license), you are committing copyright infringement.

Fair Use is a defense to copyright infringement. Under certain circumstances you are allowed to commit copyright infringement. For instance you can copy a short scene from a movie if you are making a review/commentary video.

OpenAPI is arguing that training AI models should be a "fair use". They are not claiming they never used copyrighted materials.
But we can. There are countless documented instances.

OpenAI describes these as "limitations". A more accurate word would be "features".
When are we going to quit calling space operations "missions"?

I wouldn't mind getting a "nukes in 30 minutes" warning (if it was real) but most of the alerts are useless. What use is an amber alert for "somebody kidnapped a kid (custody dispute) 500 miles away from you, be on the lookout for a white truck"? I left those alerts on for a few years because I felt guilty about turning them off, but none of the alerts were ever actionable.
This was my scenario for two years.

Outlook, Teams and Edge were logged into Azure A.D. OneDrive for Business as well.

OneDrive personal, Windows 10, Firefox were logged into my personal Microsoft account.

Office was logged into both, but it was pretty easy for me to see which one, and to switch if I needed to. Recent document lists displayed the relevant documents for the account I was logged into.

For me, it was a non-issue having both accounts on the same machine. But I bet depending on your corporate policy, it could be an issue. In my case, as a consultant, the client did not have permission to "take over" my machine and implement policy on it. If it was their machine, I would not have logged into my personal Microsoft account on it.
It blows my mind the idea of people in California getting to tell the people in Texas how to live (or vice versa) is in any way desirable.

If you knew you were going extra-solar, you would want to pick guide stars with minimal/immeasurable parallax over the scale traveled. A naive worst case scenario would be not negligible. For example, Proxima Centuri has a measured stellar parallax (from Earth - so across a 2AU distance) of ~0.8 arcseconds. We were able to measure that parallex from the ground by the mid 19th century.

Abusing small angle approximations, that implies that each ~arcsecond of shift you encounter could potentially mislocate you by ~2AU...
I thought the whole point of crypto was that you didn't have to rely on some shadowy 3rd party to hold your funds for you?

That said I hope you get your funds back. Try again in a week; if no luck, a month; all else fails, thanks for playing.

Maybe ask to speak to a manager? Contact your regulator's office to ask for advice or verbage?
The article's author is using Blub static types, in which you're declaring that the variable that captures something from the cache is a Pet handle.

Under a properly modern static typing system, you let that be inferred:

let var = cache.get("key");

var is of whatever type that the cache object returns. Even clunky old C++ can do this with auto.

That author will most likely die in some statically statically typed corner he painted himself into.

Does anything do this already? It would be amazing to point a client at a folder of unstructured junk and have it magically find the right parts.
It's called the GDS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_distribution_system

It started with airlines, but eventually included everything from hotels to rental cars.

The space is more or less dominated by a few big players. Sabre. Amadeus. Travelport.

GDS is the backbone of all of these booking platforms as far as I'm aware.
GDS.
A Global Distribution System is a worldwide reservation system that acts as a conduit between travel bookers and suppliers, such as hotels, other accommodation providers and other travel related services.

If you read the PDF, you'd know that OpenAI admits they ARE actually copying his books, in order to train on them, and they are arguing that this is okay because they don't want to have to obtain a legal copy of the work, because that would be too expensive.

They are literally arguing they should be allowed to illegally download stuff so long as no human reads the downloaded work directly.

To further your analogy, it would be like your prospective writer objecting to being arrested for stealing the books from the bookstore because he just wanted to become a better writer by studying them, not read them for entertainment purposes.
I've taken to calling hotels directly and dealing with them, or their chain's booking, as they offer the same or better rates usually, are more accountable, are more willing to refund or cancel without problems, and are much more interested in keeping you happy and wanting to come back.
> Studying an author's corpus in order to be able to produce works like the author is not copyright infringement.

You didn't finish the analogy.

Not just produce "works like the author" but being able to regenerate those original works word-for-word.

Is that copyright infringement? If I have the entire Dark Tower series memorized word-for-word, and reproduce passages or entire chapters on-demand for others. It's just the way some people learn.
Database optimization isn't something you'll need running a flask app on your personal machine, you'll only have to learn it while trying to handle tons of traffic, which I think explains why many developers are late to the party.

That said, I've never worked on a team that didn't carefully consider their schema from both a performance and extendability perspective. Even if the average age of your team is 23, any half decent TL will know the basics. I imagine this is only a problem at startups founded by students.
>I also don't think ... that training on a book or image decreases the market for the original book or image. ... zero folks that want to read Game of Thrones are asking ChatGPT to generate Game of Thrones ...

For now. But when you can generate work in the style of an artist without paying that artist, I would. More importantly, media production companies will and so will use access to people's post work to put them out of work now.

We need to distribute the benefits, we're drifting towards copyright infringement being allowed by rich corporation (with resources to generate "AI") as long as they abstract it through a transformer, or whatever.
> Chrome does not. But that choice is orthogonal to protocol.

Which means HTTP/3 de facto doesn't support self-signed certificates. Once Chrome disables HTTP 1.1/2 which it will at some point in the name of security or performance, you'll only be able to exist on the web with a CA signed certificate.
The best is that Mozilla was very silent when they introduced it. They care about privacy just like Microsoft.
I have to ask, why use 3rd party booking sites at all? From what I can tell, the prices are usually the same as the hotel... needlessly adding middlemen into the booking process.
Sure which is why saying it's absolutely a violation isn't a correct interpretation. So is saying it's absolutely not a violation. Even if the supreme court rules on the issue it's not absolutely anything because that ruling only applies until a future supreme court potentially changes its mind.
I imagine they'd be a lot more responsive to prison time, personally. A fine doesn't seem to capture the correct incentives here.
I mean there is only one pipeline, to which are contributing many actors, like big agencies (booking, expedia), car rental, airlines, etc. Together, they act as one.

Recently an article came out where someone said that the company I work for is a big user of WebAssembly, but the reality is that we don't use it.

After finding the contributed article (on a well-known news site, not Wired though), it looks like a tech founder might've been using ChatGPT to write an article about the uses for WASM. The arguments were generally sound, but I don't think that anyone did the work to manually check any of the facts they presented in it.
This reminds me of the Google Books lawsuit back in the 2010s. Google didn't ask permission from every copyright holder but was still allowed to scan books due to fair use.
>choose ScyllaDB rather than Postgres or MySQL?

I've worked with a large Cassandra cluster at a pervious job, was involved with a Scylla deployment, and have a lot of experience with the architecture and operations of both databases.

I wouldn't consider Cassandra/Scylla a replacement for Postgres/MySQL unless you have a very specific problem, namely you need a highly available architecture that must sustain a high write throughput. Plenty of companies have this problem and Scylla is a great product, but choosing it when you are just starting out, or if you are unsure you need it will hurt. You lose a lot of flexibility, and if you model your data incorrectly or you need it in a way you didn't foresee most of the advantages of Cassandra become disadvantages.
That's a REALLY weird response.

Anything coming out of my email client is from ME. And I don't use Word, but if I did, there isn't one thing I could possibly produce that would be better off from having generative AI spewing out whatever it thought relevant.
Imagine what airplanes would look like if we wanted to build them to survive a crash...

I'm also a little unclear how humans could survive a 100mph crash even if their container makes it through. If they were wearing a 4-point harness, I guess? Do they build crumple zones into train cars? Or... just rely on utterly demolishing anything they hit so the deceleration is kept under control? (https://www.reddit.com/r/BitchImATrain/)

booking.com allows guest bookings without verifying email address by design, so I had a booking added to my account that was nothing to do with me.

Couldn't cancel automatically. Support only seemed to be able to do the same I could. I assume the booking was some kind of fraud or credit card test -- anyway, the result is my account is suspended and support won't respond to me.
> Instead that Corp IT should have put a transparently working antivirus/malware scanner on the workstation that would prevent that download to be run at all. ?

Sure. Then come the complaints that this slows down endpoint devices and has compatibility issues. Somebody gets the idea to do this in the network. Rinse. Repeat.
It's not a cesspool. It's exactly what you make of it. If I had to pick one social network from them all (HN, Reddit, FB, IG, excluding messaging services like WhatsApp/Signal) I would pick X every day. It's the only place where I know the the information is coming from a reputable source, because I follow people at the top of their fields.

I created a telegram bot, where people can upload artwork and art tutors can review it and get feedback. The tutors receive money for each feedback that the student accepts from them. I thought it would be a good way for art learners to get qualified and thoughtful feedback, and for art teacher to get some money from their skills. Check it out and let me guys know what you think! I have developed it solo, so really would appreciate feedback.

Like with everything... convenience.
That would be a hell of a treatment. Probably have to go into a Bacta tank like Luke Skywalker after nearly dying on Hoth, have a huge chunk of your skin just sliced off and regrown in situ.

From the neck down, it would be inconvenient but not unbearable (other than needing a spinal block to prevent you from screaming nonstop for the first 2 weeks or so.

You could probably handle the head and neck pretty well, too, but then when it came time for your face? That would be straight hell, assuming you wanted to have full sensation and not just a hunk of flesh strapped to your skull.

Jesus, imagine your eyelids. Going without those for a while would be a terror.

Any way you go, you're looking at a huge chunk of money and a lot of body horror just to come out the other side looking 16 years old again.

I guess the upside is that it would be really easy to do liposuction and boob jobs and just about any other surgery you would ever want while you're already skinless and knocked out.

I'd be tempted if it were $100,000. I don't have that kind of cash but I could handle the payments on a 7-10 year loan.
Inertia. You used to be able to get some good deals on those sites, now they're coasting on that reputation.
Do you carry an extra mobile device specific to them as well?

I've worked with school districts & non-profits. They're all mixing that stuff up on the same devices. Same with most smaller businesses.

The one device thing would work okay if a person only ever dealt with very large businesses that can afford that.

I made the mistake of telling the apart-hotel owner in Turkey I work in IT, so he would knock on my door at 2am and Whatsapp me over and over to help him solve router problems.

"Can I talk to you?"

The jump from M365 to D365 is significant, as is the jump to Azure. One can reasonably use the productivity suite independent of the vast suite of cheaper (and often more suitable) services that can be used in place of D365, not to mention Azure.

> How will governments police it when MaidSAFE and other systems distribute totally encrypted content?

so isn't the answer then "they'll continue to police it the way they already do"? i don't know what a MaidSAFE is, but the context of this discussion is the DHT, and so public (indexable) torrents, and so however you encrypt the content doesn't matter because you have to provide the decryption method to anyone who asks for any of the previous context (public torrents/indexes) to make any sense.
Why do you think it's any of the employees that are at fault, even the c-levels?

Fine the investors. Everyone who owned a share when the violation occurred takes a lick.

If you go after c-levels, what will happen is they'll devise some sort of time deferred compensation avoids the penalties you want to impose. The board needs a CEO after all, and CEOs are reluctant to run a company if they know they'll just have their paycheck confiscated.
«A Booking.com market manager in south-east Asia admitted at a recent industry event that payment delays were caused by the installation of a new payment system. Staff salaries were also affected, she said, explaining it as a risk they had to take.»

I'm not an active adversary at work - I'm highly productive, work well with others, and have a slew of positive recommendations from both managers and co-workers. What I do not have is an ownership or equity stake in the business that I currently work for - at best there's a bonus opportunity. Since I do not own or have equity in the business it's not my place to commit more than what was agreed to with my employer at the time of my hiring - in fact, it would be unprofessional and against my best interests to do so. If they want more from me then they can pay me more (the same as they expect from their customers) - they don't get loyalty or credit in lieu of payment from me as they have no loyalty to me (and would lay me off if it made sure they could keep showing growth to investors). Of course I'm flexible for emergencies as anybody should be, but, at the end of the day, it's a job. It pays my bills - I'm working it to live, not living to work at it.

That said, I'm sure my position would change slightly if I was the owner of the business or had equity in it and my efforts could materially increase profit and directly benefit me. Alas, that is not this position, and I'd argue it is both unprofessional and certainly unhealthy to give up other obligations and relationships for a job like this.

> "the people [not at work] I actually love and care about"

I don't love my coworkers, and I never will - not in the same way that I love my family and love my friends. That is just a cold hard reality about business. At some point they may stop working here. At some point I definitely will stop working here (likely for a better paying job or a job with better working conditions). There is no point to becoming any more attached to my coworkers than the standard cordial business relationship. I'm friendly to them, I am accommodating in ways that I can within my responsibilities to the business, but they are not my friends and they are not my family. I am responsible on a different level and with a different commitment to my friends and family in ways that I am not with coworkers. Perhaps this is a difference in philosophy, but I don't care to hear from or spend time with coworkers outside of work. I have friends, family, hobbies, projects, and other things to do - life is too short to sit in too many cookouts with coworkers off the clock to talk about things at work to the uncompensated benefit of my boss and to the detriment of time with my friends and family.
This topic is about fluid simulation, but it also references shaders as a way to performantly implement fluid simulation.

I've played around with shaders in the past to build particle simulations with millions of points, and it's always really tickled my mind. You basically write functions that operate against a big 2d grid of colors. But because colors are represented by a 4x1 vector [r,g,b,a], you can repurpose this pattern to do general purpose computation (e.g. you can represent a point in a 3D coordinate space as a [r,g,b] color).

You can see this in the codepen in this post. It's literally creating "materials" and "render targets" that are actually just intermediate computation steps in the fluid simulation.

class Fluid {
constructor(context) {
this.context = context;
this.speed = 4;
this.forceInitMaterial = this.createShaderMaterial(forceInitFrag);
this.divergenceMaterial = this.createShaderMaterial(divergenceFrag);
...
this.divergence = this.createRenderTarget();
this.advection = this.createRenderTarget();
...

The clock in my 1967 Mercury has an interesting mechanism. It's a fully mechanical wound spring clock with a self-winding mechanism. When the spring unwinds it closes a circuit on an electromagnet that quickly rewinds the clock spring.

Every couple of hours or so you'll hear the click from it rewinding on its own. Unfortunately there's nothing to prevent it from running down the battery and they often need to be replaced due to burn out when the voltage gets low. Essentially the rewinder doesn't have enough voltage to actually wind the clock and the circuit stays closed.
