I am pretty sure that you needed to know who controlled what territory all across human history.

Here's my use case for a lambda monolith. We have a distributed process. It's very low activity; probably only a few hundred calls a day. However, it's a few hundred million in value over the year. We have 30 some odd services using NestJS to make Lambdas easier manage and to also run locally along with localstack.

If each of these services was 1 server, and each server cost around $20, we'd have to spend $600/month. I know for a fact that there are times where each service request can consume 80% of the memory. For safety we'd want at least twice the memory or number of units, which are functionally doubling the cost. That $600 can easily balloon to 12 or 2400 per month if I were to host the services. Now add another $600 per month for the test environment. So we'd be looking at $1200 - $3000 a month if we kept things really lean.

Now here's the lambda side. Most are about $3 per month (KMS is the lion's share of the cost) for the test & prod. So $90 in service hosting. Yearly lambda is $1080. Yearly self hosting/EC2/droplets is $14,000-36,000. Now repeat this pattern across 5 teams with similar approaches.

The savings add up for us. Now is this a universally true statement? Nope. But there are valid reasons.

Fun fact, if we ever needed to move off of lambdas, we can because NestJS sits on Express. As long as we can access the datastores there is minimal work to move.
This is consistent with historically intellectual property being a construct that benefits owners of capital and not actual innovators. That's why I think it should be abolished, this is yet another mechanism to monopolize a space to profit through some kind of rent-seeking procedure.

Short answer: it isn't, this 3-nm is a marketing term, they keep redefining the term to use a lower and lower number.

Do you understand why discriminating job applicants based on race/sex is illegal but not based on GPA?

One is something you were born with. Another is something that you did.
Let me change the argument around: Why is it assumed that because an artwork is freely available on the internet, you are allowed to train a machine to reproduce it, being in its totality or just details that are used in the creation of new works?

IE why isn't it that an artist could say, hey I'm letting you see this painting, but you are not allowed to sit down with a canvas and learn how to reproduce it? Because you can do that in galleries - no photos, no reproductions.

So actually building a machine there, under the cover of darkness, that learns from your work so you can produce new work, why is that allowed in the first place? Certainly wouldn't be at a museum.

The key thing here is - if you want artists' data, you should ask for it. They didn't. This would be equivalent of training a Github CoPilot on every available piece of code in existence, ever, instead of what they had available. Why should that be allowed? So if I built some toy code in 1996, and happened to post it on usenet, and it's a great implementation of X, why the heck is CoPilot allowed to read it? It's my property.

In the Netherlands insurance is provided by for-profit insurance companies. However, there are very strict rules - they are not allowed to refuse any applicant based on any medical reasons (including preexisting conditions), there is a list of treatments they have to cover, there are rules for the minimum/maximum deductible, etc.

I would not say that this is the 'worst of both worlds'. I actually think it has the best of both worlds, - namely coverage for everyone that needs it (benefit of social healthcare) and competition between insurance companies on price, convencience/reliability of apps, service, etc.
I haven't been keeping up to date with RISC-V happenings lately but does this imply that it'll be easier for distros to have live images that can install to arbitrary RISC-V machines like we're used to on x86? If so, that's exciting!
Ok, so reproduce me a Picasso. You've seen one right?
This to me is like saying your a sovereign citizen. The world would be better off if we all shared resources and everyone enjoyed some minimum of quality of life while there still be strong desires from individuals to create. Its a nice idea but not a reality that is possible.
It's hard to come up with a scientifically valid test for something as wide and vague as 'free will'. So what happens is that the tests are designed to test for very specific things that are then used to reason better about vague things like 'free will'. What this test is actually focused on is decision making.

The participant in the test is asked to randomly press either button A or B. The cognitive/mental experience of the participant is the following sequence of operations that seem to happen sequentially in time:
1. The participants is asked which button to push.
2. the participant ponders his decision.
3. the participant pushes the chosen button.

But what this test shows is that while the participants internal monologue is still 'deciding' whether to press A or B in step 2. The software is already able to accurately predict the answer at step 1.

So this indicates that even though your internal monologue might still be going "hmm should I pick A or B?", the decision, where your internal monologue eventually will end up, has already been made.

This is what the clickbait headline refers to; even though it feels like we humans are able to dictate and direct our thoughts, it seems that it doesn't entirely works that way.
It's a matter of scale. No human being can ingest ALL existing images. If it was the case that the average human artist was able to replicate any other work, without effort, probably we would have had two effects: first, we'd have much less works of art (because the gains would have been eliminated, so why bother), and second, copyright law would have been much more restrictive. This is exactly what we should do: avoid applying a law thought for human beings, and create a new more specific law, much more restrictive. Otherwise future art created by actual human beings will suffer greatly (without mentioning the loss of work and human abilities), to the economic benefit of a very small set of monopolistic players.

No, I don't think so. I think most people would choose to pay with info rather than cash even if they have the cash simply because they don't fully grasp the actual cost to them. People make foolish (from my perspective) economic decisions all the time. I am currently traveling in the American south where I am surrounded by shockingly vast numbers of morbidly obese people who willingly trade their health for a sugar rush. No one is holding a gun to these people's heads and forcing them to drink sugary soda and eat fried food, but they do it anyway. They do it because they like it, and because they don't think about (or don't care about) the long-term consequences. People are (again, from my perspective) stupid. But I don't think it should be the role of government to save people from their own stupidity. That is a very slippery slope.
Uh, quite the opposite. Thermal mass is a thing.

There’s a lot of flat-out wrong information in this post. For one, even the low-power (U-series) Intel laptop CPUs have suported 32GB+ of memory since at least the 6th generation[1]. Many machines based on these CPUs unofficially support more than that. I have a Thinkpad with an i7-8550u and 64GB of DDR4, and it runs great.

On top of that, the higher-power laptop SKUs have supported 64gb or more since that time as well.

Secondly, it’s silly to claim that having RAM slots somehow makes a computer inherently more unstable. Typically these types of issues are the result of the manufacturer of the machine having bugs in the BIOS/EFI implementation, which are exacerbated by certain brands/types of memory. If you don’t want to mess around with figuring that stuff out, most manufacturers publish a list of officially-tested RAM modules which are not always the cheapest in absolute terms, but are always night-and-day cheaper than Apple’s ridiculous memory pricing.

That is not what it's predicting. You have changed the definition of predict so that an incorrect prediction can be misinterpreted as a correct prediction.

From that benchmark article

> The design features of this file-system are similar to ZFS/Btrfs and include native encryption, snapshots, compression, caching, multi-device/RAID support, and more. But even with all of its features, it aims to offer XFS/EXT4-like performance, which is something that can't generally be said for Btrfs.

I was surprised at that as I believed that btrfs is generally faster than ext4. Looking ahead to the last page, the geometric mean or the benchmarks supports that view too.
> Two of the three artists who filed the lawsuit have dropped their infringement claims because they didn’t register their work with the copyright office before suing. The copyright claims will be limited to artist Sarah Anderson’s works, which she has registered.

The lawsuit is moving forward, but only on copyrighted work. This is (not yet) a story.
Skimmed the initial review. Doesn't even look remotely bad. Sure, some negativity - but nothing terrible.

Never heard of Devon before, his stuff looks good, but sounds like the artist and the fans need their ego checked.

It performs poorly for certain workloads -- notably DBs -- unless you disable copy-on-write, compression, and checksumming. But then why use it over ext4 in the first place?

The nice thing about btrfs is that you can add/remove drives at will.
That allows for easy expansion of an existing pool.
That's true, but it doesn't apply in this case because there is a third option: don't use the service.

Also, those emails seem very likely to be ordered to be produced during discovery.

This thing could really go either way at this point but I feel like Stability has the upper hand.

Imagine training a model without any of the plaintiffs images, then using that side by side with the model that does. This could then be used to show the jury that those individual works are of no importance to the system if the images are of the same quality.

They will probably argue that the individual expressions of each work are not copied, rather the abstract ideas of two-dimensional representations present across any and all images.

Expect lots of side by side pictures as Exhibits from both side! Grandma and her fellows have to weigh in on this one!

Because they still haven't fixed the write hole issues in certain RAID configurations,which have been known for a decade or more.
The "ultra painful experience" part is about Rosetta 1.

For Rosetta 2, I agree Apple made a much better translation layer. There were still swaths of software that couldn't run on Rosetta 2, but the previous generation of Intel machine was still there kicking and alive, so people who didn't feel like taking the risk didn't need to.

Ok, say I don't need kubernetes.

I would still do it in AWS, as it is like golden garden, don't need to deep dive into security measures, to manage authorizations manually, to handle database sharding and optimizations, you get notifications systems, ML, data streams and everything just connects together.

From there using lambda is way faster than to develop your own api with caching and making sure it is 100% optimized so that 10 thousands ppl can connect, while in fact you might change it tmrw.
I'm really looking forward to the EU framework around "AI". It's definitely a better approach than having individual artists sue and get dismissed on technicalities (that don't even apply in most of the EU - e.g. in France, if you release something by default you get copyright on it, so the judge's reasoning couldn't apply here) and judges deciding based on their interpretation of vague laws crafted in an age when "AI" was little more than niche science fiction if that.
Is there any feasible way to run a non-Android OS on a phone and still have power efficiency and support for Android apps with multitouch, GPU acceleration, etc.? (i.e. some ready made solution that runs Android in KVM efficiently, or provides the Android kernel features and userspace RPC servers)

Without that, one must run Android to get access to mobile apps, which is essential.

I don't agree that reason correlates with free will. Many people act irrationally. Behavioral economics was developed because "rational actor" predictions applied to large groups of people turned out to be consistently incorrect.

One can willfully be irrational.

I do agree with you though, that free will doesn't necessarily mean "doing what I want" (which is a libertarian principle from the French Revolution), but instead, is freedom from desires. That's true freedom, but is rarely found and achieved only after years of ascetic practice.

> If an artist recreates a copyrighted work or creates a derivative too close to the original, then that new work is potentially copyright infringement.

I see no reason the same standard cannot be applied to ML generated content. If the evaluation is being performed on the end result, then that is all that matters. The same judges that decide these things for human generated content can continue to do so for ML generated ones.

Even the people submitting and responding to the copyright claims will still be human (with briefs generated by ML…).

What will be more interesting is when the judges themselves get replaced with an “objective” AI to quantify similarity for copyright purposes. If that ever happens, it’ll trigger an arms race to hit the razors edge without going over.
Isn’t that what they’re doing with this change in policy?

Personally, I would love to see the kind of offers companies would start to make for opt-in tracking. In a much cooler world, people would be able to sell their data, as subscriptions, to companies, with premiums placed on more 'valuable' data at whatever given time, based on advertiser interest.

Of course, no data tracking would be ideal, for me. But if someone wants to sell their personal data, they should at least be able to sell it for a market price.
