No, it requires Javascript. Our goal is to avoid survey fatigue and not annoy users, so by default a user will only be shown a survey once a week, and only surveys they haven't answered or seen before and closed before.

Also since it can be self-hosted, it can be served from the same domain as the application within the survey. We also see the surveys as part of the application and a necessary part for the maintainers to provide their service.

Society is not my personal piggybank for help. Being born with a health condition already makes it an unjust world. Being entitled to other people's work by your own metric of payment is also unjust.
it's not just Sweden

e.g. in Germany you have similar situations when it comes to online banking for some banks (through not when it's about card->terminal payment)

for example credit card apps in the EU have 2FA (which doesn't always trigger and there is still the legacy protocols for payments from outside of the EU so a bit uh, maybe, pointless)

this 2FA is for most banks handled by and app (different apps tho)

and many of this apps bathed in "security" snake oil making them impossible to run even on a non-rooted but de-googled android phone

same for pay with you phone over NFC, e.g. it currently doesn't work for my bank with my phone and I'm speculating that it's because the secure modules attestation is not is not whitelisted (the phone uses a "industry" ARM chip instead of a typical consumer one so attestation derived ids/keys can be "unexpected")

(Through also where I live there is a law for having some kind of b2b online banking API, so theoretically a company could create an app which does work on unusual phones, or create a device like you mentioned.)

If the model didn't learn anything important from Picasso, it wouldn't be in the training data.

This whole argument of "ah but it doesnt really need it" doesn't hold up. If the model didn't need it, it wouldn't have used it in the first place.

Same thing in Artstation. It was of course propitious for AI scientists to find such a lovely database of high quality imagery, and all so helpfully tagged into categories.

Yup. If I'm going around my daily business wearing a shirt that says, "no sex for me, please!" Then please do not come up to me and say, "but, would you like to have sex with me?"

And if I say "yes, actually, even though it was very rude of you to ask, given the shirt that I am wearing...in fact, I would like to have sex with you," then you should at least have the decency to wait for me to take my shirt off before having sex with me.

If I decide it's really not worth the effort to take the shirt off, then it turns out, actually, no, I really did not want the sex after all.
Benetton scion moves into tech investing with new €30M fund
The man page continues:

> This option can create a COW (copy on write) snapshot, or a thin snapshot (in a thin pool.) [...] COW snapshots are created when a size is specified. The size is allocated from space in the VG, and is the amount of space that can be used for saving COW blocks as writes occur to the origin or snapshot.

Likely snapshots _were_ originally read-only, and the description of creating thin and COW snapshots was added later, but the man page text was not re-written completely; rather the description of thin and COW snapshots were added to the end of the existing text.

This is a definitely learned response. Growing up in northern Palm Beach County, we never described ourselves as being from Miami. It was far away! And expensive! ¡Y solo podemos hablar un poco de español! But after traveling here and there for work and giving long explanations of where I was from — "oh, [town]? Where's that?" "It's about an hour and a half north of Miami" — I just gave up. I'm from Miami. I had no choice in the matter.

And when I went to Italy, I was from Miami. "Oh, I've been there. It's very nice."

This law is unrelated to big pharma, but I think the answer is “yes, but pharma follows the law.”

Or at least the law as they interpret it. Look at the opioid madness and even with that, I think big pharma was being Lawful Evil. Once the law is determined, I think they follow it. Even though they lobby to change it.

Depends who they are marketing to I think is the point. If the biggest group of potential buyers are not M2 users, then it makes sense not to market to them directly with these stats.

I've got an M1 Max 64GB and I'm not even tempted to upgrade yet, maybe they'll still be comparing to M1 when the M10 comes out though.
For software encoding Intel suggest you can beat all the other classic SW encoders with AV1 as long as you have enough cores:

Edit: resolution on that graph image is terrible but they've been sharing it for a while in slide decks so you can probably find better quality by following links from here:

https://networkbuilders.intel.com/blog/svt-av1-enables-highl...
Do you believe it's all about the brain?
I don't think you can reduce the comparison to "better than," but AV1 certainly compresses to smaller files than HEVC. Maybe that's a better fit for your use case.
Yep I got it about 50%.
I think that it might be misguided. Excessively prioritizing how quickly you ship code is probably the single quickest way to summon the complexity demon.
I disagree. Europe will at long last have a great tech scene of its own in serious and privacy-respecting services such as Proton, Tutanota, Tresorit, Filen, Internxt, pCloud, Mullvad, NordVPN, Qwant, Mojeek etc.
What Apple means when it says 'shot on iPhone'
That’s a pretty strong statement in the headline, given how fluffy the article is. “X caused Y” rapidly softens into “Z might cause Y, and Z is possibly from X.”
Could be, but people are already using M2 Ultra for LLM stuff and like it. Seems like Apple would double down on that.
I bought an aluminum one in January 2009 if my memory serves me right. It was a nice machine, wasn't it first aluminum MacBook?

In general, a person's performance in their job is the best evidence for their future performance, followed by tests you can give them, followed by their genes. That's not to say that there aren't pointy haired bosses who could be sold a load of snake oil on the subject but that's probably nowhere you'd want to work anyways. And with medicine pre-existing conditions are a much worse problem than genetics could ever be but thankfully in the US at least our existing laws seem to have that in hand.
Its in the same ball park. Both do considerably better than AVC (h264), but many direct comparisons between HEVC (h265) and AV1 compare apples to oranges. Sure you can get 30% lower bitrate, but only at degraded quality levels or higher decode complexity.

Also note that HEVC had a considerable head start (5 years?) so performant encoder (or even energy efficient decoders) took a while to catch up. Recent ffmpeg versions offer a lot of options, you'll find that even a basic comparison is PhD-level difficult ;-)

> Because a Diffusion model can.

This isn't a given, it is something that has yet to be decided in this case. (Edit: if you look at studies that look for examples of SD reproductions, the best examples still similar to what a human trying to reproduce the image from memory would create)

> Your denial that there is a demonstrable difference between human and machine attention

There are demonstrable differences between different intelligent systems. I have yet to see any demonstration that shows that you can't reproduce human attention with machine. (Though we can't do it yet)

> If you don't recognise it, then answer me - Why can't you paint me a Picasso?

I haven't studied painting or Picasso. There are many people who can paint a Picasso as well as, if not better than, any ML model we have today. There are people who you could take to a gallery show who could go home and reproduce both style and individual works at an equivalent level.

> It learns faster and more accurately than any human,

The word, "faster", here is doing a lot of work. Machine learning can be "faster" in that it can happen in parallel and be scaled to take less time. However humans currently also learn "faster" because they require fewer repetitions or examples to learn. As such, the "learning" derived from a human viewing an image is arguably currently larger.

> Yes. You pay for access.

Is this good faith? I already stipulated that the images are publicly accessible. Are you suggesting that somehow artists should be able to block the AI from viewing a properly licensed instance of a copyrighted image? That pretty much results in a ban on general ai.

The main benefice is eclipsing legitimate voice advocating open source since many years in a very radical way and often at cost for private companies which are open source washing their predatory business practices.

So basically all old whites males figures who spent years developing GNU and linux and many library for no benefits and for just empowering all mankind, are just pushed away, in the worst depictables ways so that capitalistic predation can extend everywhere.

Open sources, Linux, run everythings in industry worldwide. Capitalist cannot let the governance of thoses projects in the hand of aging white anarchist males.

Therefor the capitalist predators use their puppet "woke" asset to silence and clean all open source movement from their enemies.

This started with code of conduct, pushed by transgender who are the most perverse form of misoginy.

Sometimes it can - the only time I've had this work, I had a bluescreen, on next startup Windows told me it was because I needed a driver update.

I think there's some path where driver devs can publish updates and link them to BSOD stacks which lets Windows tell users if they hit a bug that is fixed by a driver.

This was like 10+ years ago and I've never hit the same flow again, despite encountering bluescreens every once in awhile, which I guess goes to show how difficult this problem is.

To go into philosophy a bit, you make a deal with society when you live in it (Rousseau). If you post online, on the clearweb, you should expect some logging where you volunteer your information. If you upload your DNA, it's not accident. The privacy laws are as such that encourage days gathering behavior, although there are places where photos and cameras are not allowed to take pictures of others.

These actions are on the edge of legality because it's where there is growth. It's the nature of an intersection of capitalism and science. If it was illegal they would only do it when its wasn't enforceable (Uber).

All these fears haven't come to pass and DNA had been in databases for many decades, this fear of the unknown would freeze everyone into inaction if unintentional consequences were a great fear no German would have another child again.

I think humans should pay for permission to learn. Heaven forbid copyright holders don't get paid for all the material they've put out that humans are using (often stealing) to learn from in order to become useful members of society!

Physical library books are governed by the doctrine of first sale. That's why google has one of the largest (maybe excluding l-bg-n and IA) corpus of books on the internet. They might have the cleanest corpus of OCR'd book content of anyone, since IA uses commercial or open source OCR and that's it, while google for a long time used recaptcha to check OCR results.

For physical books, the cost per read of a library book is an order of magnitude smaller than the cost per read of privately purchased books. How can you tolerate the economic model of libraries when the net effect is a theft of maybe 80%-95% from the author and publisher? Libraries subsidize books that nobody wanted to read, but steal from authors and publishers whose books are read multiple times per physical copy.

Even libraries' onerous ebook licenses are not commercial retail ebook pricing. They're just closer to retail pricing than the publishers could ever manage with physical books, because there's no pesky right of first sale which turns physical book libraries into piracy havens.

I would prefer to get away from OpenAI and Facebook and all the other people using potentially tainted sources like books3. The obvious legal question for them isn't whether training was legal, but whether the acquisition of the training data was legal. That's a straightforward copyright issue, or at least as straightforward as fair use determinations can ever be. Whether we agree with copyright law as it stands, it's certain that copyright applies when books3 is transferred around the internet. How transformative it is, how much the transfer of books3 affects the market, and the other two factors, make those actions fair use, are the only questions to be considered.

The training aspect is where all the difference of opinion lies:

What is your position on Google using its corpus of books (legally acquired and possessed, as the content behind google books) to train a LLM? Do they need to acquire additional rights from copyright holders? Why, and under what legal theory?

How would they get permission ahead of time? How would they agree to a pricing model? Would they spend tens or hundreds of millions of dollars training a model, and only then negotiate with rights holders to find out whether the license fees they want will be economically viable? We all know that most major rights holders would never grant a one-time license fee. It would be perpetual rent-seeking from AI output. I don't see how any of these LLM or image generation models would be economical if rights holders had their way. They wouldn't mind. They're notoriously slow to adopt tech, but if they did anything, they'd hire AI experts, build their own models, and license the models back to Google and Microsoft.

Too late to edit, but I’ll add: the revealed vs stated explanation is plenty useful for some things.

But that doesn’t mean it’s actually an accurate description of what’s happening at the individual level.

You're kidding surely. that quote comes from random social media posts. A rather lazy narrative by VoA, which will get its readers to stereotype China as anti-Semitic, or as being more tolerant of anti-Semitism than the West, stereotypes you seem to have accepted too, when none of that is empirically established.

It's a strange motte-and-bailey, where media outlets are factual ("here are a few tweets"), but are always interpreted in irrational ways ("XYZ group has a big problem with ABC"), since average people are known to falsely generalize based on anecdotes. I'll take such articles seriously when they start presenting quantified empirical data. I'll be waiting a while.

Qualcomm isn't even a part of the HEVC alliance patent pool, so that theory doesn't hold. Indeed, the fact that Qualcomm is currently building AV1 support into their next chip (purportedly) puts them at risk of being sued because while AV1 is open, we all know how patents work and there are almost certainly actionable overlaps with the pool.

Apple ships probably more devices than anyone, and given that the patent pool is huge as mentioned odds are overwhelmingly that it costs them money to support HEVC / HEIC, not the reverse. That theory also is dubious.

Remember when everyone was yammering for VP8 support? Then it was VP9 support? Now it's AV1. Sometimes it takes a while to shake out. By all appearances AV1 is a winner, hence why it's finally getting support.

> We enforce food labels, why not content?

Regulation isn't always, but often is a drag on productivity. Food labels make total sense because the negative consequences of not doing it outweight the drag of doing it.

I'm not at all convinced that enforcing AI labeling and the resulting impossible task of policing and enforcing this will outweigh any negatives of not doing it.

I'm thinking about the cookie policy in Europe. I hate it and almost always just click through because so many websites work around it by making it a real pain to "reject cookies".
