What's your take on this topic
As mentioned in a reply to a sibling comment. GPS time is (to a human relevant usable level of accuracy) TAI minus 19 seconds. The issue is that you can't really "run TAI" on something, most firmware isn't designed to keep track of time this way and so expects to be working with UTC, the differences are subtle and basically boil down to "has no leap seconds and requires some math to accommodate this fact" and "expects leap seconds to exist, and be handled by humans and synchronization tools"... the latter which is fundamentally assuming that time is non-monotonic is at odds with the way that hardware clocks work in silicon and circuity.

So while you can design software to record things in TAI, and if you build your own hardware and firmware use TAI on that hardware and firmware... at a normal day to day level you can't really switch... but you can join the slowly growing collection of educated and aware people that appreciate the UTC/TAI mismatch in our software systems and push in the correct direction. The arguments about freezing UTC and not adding any more leap seconds to it are on the face of it, just stupid, we have GPS time which is fixed to TAI, we have TAI itself... we don't need to fundamentally change UTC just because we fucked up all the computers but just don't want to fix them properly. This is one time where counter to the Simpson's meme, the children are in fact wrong. UTC is harder for the computers to use, and that's because UTC was the wrong choice, so the answer is to stop having the damn computers use UTC as the internal time representation and switch to having them use an appropriate internal time representation.

I think you're conflating two issues. As I understand it, this justification is about whether the training itself is fair-use. The discussion on whether the outputs are derivative or transformative is separate. Analogously, if I publish a copy of copyrighted poems from memory that would be infringement, but there's nothing infringing about me just reading and memorizing them.

Nit pick: The German ICE 1 and 2 series are pulled/pushed by a locomotive [1] that's a direct evolution of the BR 120 locomotive - the world's first electric locomotive to use solid-state converters [2].

As a result of that, the trains have different top speeds depending on the locomotive being on the front (faster) or rear (slower) end [3].

HTTP 1 is on a depreciation path and HTTP3 requires TLS, which would mean getting the blessing of a trusted (typically corporate) root cert every 90 days to continue letting random people access my website.

In the US, states recently passed anti-abortion laws which also banned aiding and abetting people seeking the procedure. That would cover domain names and certs if any relevant tech companies had headquartered in those states - or if passed as federal law.

Trans rights are actively heading in that direction, and supporters are the very same that lambasted NYT and others as "fake news" that needed to be banned while pushing narratives of contrived electoral processes.

Fear of political regression is real in America, without even looking internationally.

Societal and technical systems evolve together. With the depreciation of HTTP1, future cheap middleware boxes will likely effectively enforce using HTTP3 and consolidate the tech landscape around a system that is far more amenable to authoritarian control that the prior generation of protocols.

It's fair and valid to call out such scenarios when discussing international technical standards. These protocols and the consequences will be around for decades in an ever evolving world.
>Didn't blizzard taught us something with Diablo Immortal?

yeah, that it's insanely profitable to make a mobile game with a popular IP. I heard it made on the order of $500m in its first year despite the bad PR. But that doesn't really apply to most games; if you have a valuable IP you can get away with a lot of monetization schemes or simply lack of quality (Pokemon) that would crater most other studios.

I agree with your point but more for the fact of formats rather than monetization. Making a continually updating mobile game is basically untenable for a single developer, but the norm in mobile. So making a game that can target the mobile market properly is an impossible goal from the outset for a small indie team. At least in America (I'm sure some small chinese teams can pull this off given their CoL). Your best bet is keeping a mobile build of a premium game working on the side to make a future port easier to do. Won't make as much money but it is relatively easy side income if you have a successful PC/console game.
> Anyway my argument is that “ability to reproduce verbatim a copyrighted work is not a valid characteristic when determining whether something consumed the work fairly”.

I agree with this. I only disagree with the assertion that AI or $newtech "doing something humans already do but better" has any legal importance. There are many existing laws which apply only when using technology. It's legal to drink and run, but not drink and drive, even though they both get you from point A to point B and cars just do it faster.

Right. When the society makes driving easy and alternatives hard people rationally choose to drive. Government sponsored roads and parking tip the scales heavily in favor of cars. The solution is to add infrastructure so less driving is necessary. More centrally located housing. Walkable distances between destinations thanks to a not spread out city layout. Sidewalks, safe ways to cross the street, safe bike lanes, frequently arriving buses and trains. This is exactly what 15 minute cities are about!

Anecdote:

My employer recently bought me a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. Due to concussions and general flicker sensitivity, I don't do well with 60Hz screens, and I prefer AMD CPUs. This one came with a 240Hz screen. Overkill!

But... Bluetooth was unreliable. Every few hours, it vanished from Windows as if it didn't exist. A moment of sleep and wake was enough to bring it back, but it was still annoying to lose mouse and headphones unexpectedly.

Two support calls, but all they did was reinstall a bunch of the driver updates I had already reinstalled (and they installed Geforce Experience because Vantage said it was available.) Unsurprisingly, none of that fixed the issue. The next step was a factory reset and/or replacement, which would've been a big PITA because of time I already spent doing setup. And it still might not have solved the issue.

Instead, I spent $23 on an Intel AX210 WLAN/Bluetooth chip, and performed the replacement (of a Realtek chip) in well under 10 minutes. Taking off the bottom panel was relatively easy, and I did not see any damaged clips. M.2 and SODIMM chips are readily replaceable, and so was this WLAN chip. It also fixed my problem completely without resorting to losing a lot of time repeating my setup.

If there's a point, it's that budget and mid-range gaming laptops are often quite repairable, where as thin and light / ultrabooks, especially those made for businesses are much less frequently repairable. I think the reason is two-fold... in general businesses will just pay for repairs, even when it means sending a device back. And of course smaller machines tend to get soldered components and optimize for size instead of access.

You have to think about the compromises you're willing to make, or to have built into your purchases.
Fair point. If there was good research showing no difference, it would be equally pointless to argue either side is right, but it wouldn't be mere opinions, like they are today.

As for the move between runtime to development time tools, it still misses the cost of it.

We could move all our code to Haskell and have absolute guarantees for a lot of the common found bugs, but we don't because it's costly. And I don't mean rewrite cost, I mean the cost of its own complexities.

Nobody argues that typed languages aren't more rigorous, but that's not the only variable we care about.

On the surface, they’re “Agile(tm)” because they have sprints and retros. But at the level above middle managers, it’s all huge word documents, Gantt charts, formal sign offs, and then later the blame game when it invariably fails to meet both deadline and requirements.

I was too young to work in the 00s, but that was a miserable job. I had colleagues who had been there for decades and others that started as apprentices there and retired in the couple of years I was there… that’s all they’ve ever known and worked at this one place only. It totally blew my mind.
Technically, the money comes from people who pay to use AI (customers), or alternatively to buy art from artists.

To the extent they are out-competing artists, it's diverting a money flow from artists to somewhere else. But a lot of that money might be from people who would never have bought that art to begin with?

In any case, the money never belonged to the artists. It never got to them. The people it actually belongs to (the customers) get to make the decision about what to buy.

Law is a field where context is essential: to analyze a particular set of facts you need not solely the text of the law, but the full historical use and interpretation of that text in regards to other sets of facts.

At one point when they had OneDrive for Business, and regular OneDrive. Regular OneDrive kept installing itself into Windows 10, and confused the fuck out of everybody, and some people were even using personal accounts to sign into it because it would encourage you to create a Microsoft account. But that was different from their corporate Microsoft account, but used the same e-mail address. What a fucking disaster. I swore off that piece of shit ever since then. And SharePoint has never been good. It's always a disaster that needs dedicated staff that nobody wants to pay for. And they built OneDrive on top of it?

And now you have Teams running on top of it as well. And it's also a total piece of shit. God damnit, I'm so much happier not having to admin any more Microsoft shit.
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. "Reproduction of fictional works" is what is present in the training data. "Creation of derivative works based on fictional training inputs" is what you might be doing as a user of a LLM. The models themselves are, like GP said, recordings of statistical properties of text, just taken up to 11.
You have to prove, legally, that it harms the consumer. Good luck with that.

A detached house in SG goes for millions of USD [0] on top of having PR and Citizenship requirements. This is because they are Freeholds (aka if you buy the property, you also own the land underneath).

Its probably not the only component... but a fun fact is that the Earth's rotation is affected by the average equatorial ocean temperatures, (anyone seen the ocean temperature charts this year... something something ships and sulfur dioxide accidental geoengineering that we stopped doing) warm ocean water displaces slightly more volumetrically and thus by way of its lower density, affects the spinning mass balance of the Earth like a ice skater curling in their fingers rather than their whole arms while spinning like a top, the effect is there... just so very subtle.

Switch mode power supplies such as this one emit RF. There are varying degrees of shielding that can help, but ham radio stations that are looking for good reception forbid using any such chargers (e.g., iPhone charger, Macbook chargers, etc).

Far better to use a linear power supply, which has a transformer and as a result is far heavier.
Self reply, in case it was unclear: I don't claim that testing is only for weak type systems. Testing is important in both worlds. I do, emphatically, claim that the total testing burden is much lower for programs written in strong static type systems, because a majority of tests written for programs in dynamic systems are simply trying to cover for the lack of strong type checking. So of course testing paradigms apply to both strong and weak type systems.

The only difference between the two cases is which human violated copyright. If you ask a musician to play a cover of a famous song without the requisite royalties they violated copyright. If you instruct a machine to do it you violated copyright. Machine has no thoughts, head empty, does not know what copyright is, does not know abc's.

Which is also why machines can't create copyrighted works either. The standard example is that making a machine to generate random images doesn't copyright them, but if an artist chooses some of them because they look good then he may copyright them.

Can't say too much but I saw an IoT product where, if NTP failed, they would all slowly fall behind. I really appreciated this because fixing NTP would jump forward, leaving a gap in perceived time instead of living the same moment twice.

Just to provide an example here, I know the Dune quote was a popular example of a request that crashes the session, but in my case I wasn't even trying to get GPT4 to trip, I just wanted to know what a song was about, so I asked "what is ballroom blitz about", and it described the song accurately but went on to quote the lyrics - it interrupts itself and starts over mid lyrics, before trying again and quoting the lyrics inside a code block instead, which also gets cut off. Very clumsy implementation, you'd think they could be fine tuned to not quote source material (that is, unless they want to offer a version that does quote source material to a different market segment without bothering to fine-tune again)

> (2) If it were an infringement, it would severely hinder AI progress, which has many societal benefits.

This is one of the most horrific and weakest arguments supporting the unlicensed training of images / data for commercial purposes as 'fair use' from OpenAI I have ever seen. There is more to AI than LLMs and nothing is being hindered. It is just them inventing excuses in avoiding to pay for the data they are using for training.

The fact that OpenAI obtained permission from Shutterstock for its training data for DALL-E 2 suggests that they knew that Shutterstock would sue them if they didn't and commercialized it, just like how Getty unsurprisingly caught Stable Diffusion generated images containing their watermark.

Either use public domain images for free, or just pay for the sources for your training data if you're commercializing it. OpenAI already did that once already and they have plenty of money to do it again.

No excuses.
