Nice and clean in the context of an integration doesn't mean no state it just means no state outside of the context of that test.

If I set up an integration test that sets up a database from scratch and tears it down and tests only the behavior of the app in that rigidly defined context, then yes, it will be useful. It will tell you how the code behaves in the scenario you've created.

Bad integration tests will share state with each other - e.g. by using the staging DB.
it also has little incentive to do so, as it's positioning itself as a possible mediator, one that also does a lot of business with Israel. And remember, the thing that led to the short animosity between China and the Soviet Union (well, one of the things) was that the SU was a country with a mission to spread its system, while China wasn't, and isn't. China seeks to do business with everyone without telling them how to run their affairs, quite unlike the US.

The more likely explanation is that the companies are catering to their custmer base. As in most of the world, there is huge public support to stop the killing of Gazans. Western companies, and companies in Wester-capured neocolonies, can't show support for Gaza. Maybe this is ALibaba testing out if it can. It'll be interesting to see if it lasts, or if it gets changed again in a few days. This should tell you more.
Interesting concept that raised the question for me:
What is the primary limiting factor right now that prevents LLM’s or any other AI model to go “end to end” on programming a full software solution or full design/engineering solution?

Is it token limitations or accuracy the further you get into the solution?
Auto aim with a mouse is indeed a hindrance, yet auto aim with a controller is something necessary in many cases, especially as one gets older or brain gets cat hair in it.
> The foundational premise of the insurance concept is that risk is spread across every participant in an equal manner.

Applying this broad principle to auto insurance, it isn't doing well. Auto ins is ~mandated. Participants are forced to pay for risk pools they aren't part of.

ex: Car repair costs are skyrocketing. Premiums are also skyrocketing, including for people who don't carry collision.
The response proves his point too in a way, and something I've observed in my NYC left rich cohort.

Deflecting all criticism by knee jerk reaction of calling the questioner a racist. Disagreement over the magnitude of a problem, its relation to other problems, or the terms used for a problem makes you racist and therefore bad. Now we don't need to consider your opinion and can move on.

Well well... as it is called English, scholars from cultural institutions rooted in England are the reference. Everybody else is free to speak their own language, but one is proper English, while the others are at most somewhere-English.

It's not illegal, it's just not legally binding. Accepting an EULA after purchase is more like "we would like you to comply to these license terms, but if you violate them, we can't do anything"

In a lot of countries only the terms that were accepted during purchasing are legally binding. So if you buy a windows license in a shop without signing a contract, than no additional terms except general copyright laws apply.

With SaaS and online services this got way more complicated though. They can always ask to accept new conditions and stop providing their services if you don't accept them.

> 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.

But you can't stop people from sitting and studying your painting and then painting stuff similar to it.

One of the core assertions that is being decided in this case is if there is any actual reproduction here. Does a model contain a reproduction of every image it was trained on? Can the model actually create a reproduction of any images it was trained on?

If it turns out that there is no reproduction here, then it comes down to how much legal control we give copyright owners to regulate access.

A gallery can reasonably ban cameras and canvases, but it becomes a lot less reasonable if they try to ban artists.

Let's imagine that this isn't just specifically tuned ML but proper General AI that can learn new skills. Is your argument that this AI would be legally prohibited from viewing any images it doesn't have a specific license for?

I think that drawing hard lines around what kind of processing can be done on publicly available images is going to become problematic. It's better to regulate around what can be done with the results of the processing than that processing itself. That's how our existing laws work. Making a reproduction, even just from memory, of a copyrighted work is restricted. Memorizing a copyrighted work is not.

I have done both, for many years.

I hate managing a server, unless it's running a DB, relay, or other long-running service.

For most my backend work, it's "Please calculate this", and that fits so well into a lambda I don't understand why people hate it so much.

Zero maintenance, zero costs until used, much less security to manage, etc. It all works very well for me.

I still run all kinds of stuff on a linux server, but the comment seems a little gatekeepy. There's nothing strictly better (or even simpler) about running on a server.
LLM's can't gut a fish in the cube when they get to their limits.

On a more serious note: I think the high-level structuring of the architecture, and then the breakdown into tactical solutions — weaving the whole program together — is a fundamental limitation. It's akin to theorem-proving, which is just hard. Maybe it's just a scale issue; I'm bullish on AGI, so that's my preferred opinion.

Yes. It really does help, in my opinion.

Working and talking with people is more than the words they use. It's also facial expressions, gestures, and general body language. It helps smooth conversations that may be confusing.

I saved my company $50,000/year. A previous consultant (that they were still paying monthly) had written an application that was the backbone of the entire ordering system. If it went down, no work could be done and they needed to call this guy and pay him $150/hour.

It was a .net app that I reverse-engineered that was basically calling 10 or so encrypted stored procedures in SQL server. Because the older versions of SQL don't actually use encryption, but a type of encoding, I was able to decode them all and replace the entire app with a script that I wrote.

The whole process with testing took about a month (they thought it would take me a year).

The consultant that made it wasn't very happy when he was told they would no longer be needing his services.

> It’s fiction that configuring the cloud is easier than configuring a computer.

We're arguing opinions and trying to apply logic.

Some people find lambda easier and it must be true that lambda fits certain workloads better. Some people prefer VMs or on-prem or other long-running services. I prefer both in different cases.

> The worst problem is the giant pile of cloud spaghetti you end up with and no one has any idea what connects to what and what depends on what.

Yes, it takes discipline to use the best tool for the job. "You should do X for everyting" is not the right approach, however.
This argument is moot.

Right now I support:

* Lambdas for some very expensive infrequent number crunching

* Lambda-like on edge for fast response services that require low latency

* VMs for always-on services

* Computer in a closet for backups, logging, metrics, etc.

Being able to see the market price of their data would also help people to realize how valuable it is, which would enhance privacy awareness.
No one in China was able to make a 360 controller bypass Microsoft's digital signature driver controls for their dongle for 18 years now. I think we're past the point of "someone will just hack it". Not going to hack it.
But you should want an ROI as a non-profit. If you spend $1000 on advertising to get people to write their Senator to help push for/against a bill, you want to make sure you're spending it on the most effective way. If it gets spent on mail ads and no one calls, then that is largely a waste of money (regardless of funding model and org structure). If you don't have a measure, you can't really know if money is being wasted. You can guess and have a gut feel, but not scientific, actionable data to change how the org is working to best further the non-profit's cause.

Maybe you can call it something else, but for a non-profit ROI is just answering the question "Are we spending our money wisely?

Or were you referring to the non-profit having a board?

I generally agree that 23andMe was obviously going to end in something like this. The actual value was never in the "fun personal genetic testing" - it was always the aggregated population-wide DNA data.

However, I do think a national "DNA database" would be interesting, if it could actually be made truly anonymous. I have no idea if that is possible, but assuming it is - I think there would be massive benefit for this data to be available to public (and private) researchers for the cost of simple maintenance and upkeep of the database. Who knows what great discoveries could be made in the future with this data available at the fingertips of many.

However, I don't know enough on the subject to understand the evil potential with a database that can by truly anonymous. Maybe it enables making a new cancer vaccine for the most common type of cancer. Maybe it enables creating a virus that is lethal after exactly 28 days to only a certain segment of the population carrying a specific gene. This bit is certainly what gives me huge pause. I also suspect truly anonymizing such a database would be extremely difficult to nigh-impossible.

That all said, while my DNA is in government databases against my will (many mothers signed up for those "get your kid back if kidnapped" law enforcement drives in the 80's and 90's) I will never willingly submit a sample to such a service unless I have exceedingly clear control of all my data and assurances it will be destroyed after whatever specific results I need come back.
You've got a bunch of places all placed at 0 latitude 0 longitude, saying "null". You may want to check your data sources.
I find the whole comparison "it´s just like a person learning" to be a tiring trope. It's demonstrably not.

Like I said to another poster - you've probably seen a Picasso. Can you make me a copy?

Because a Diffusion model can. But you can't. Why not?

Your denial that there is a demonstrable difference between human and machine attention is part of the core obfuscation these companies are using to win this battle, so I reject it entirely. That difference creates the whole issue. If you don't recognise it, then answer me - Why can't you paint me a Picasso? You're saying the Machine is just like a human, yet a simple question of reproduction tells you it's not like a human in any way. It's a machine, and it produces machine reproductions. It learns faster and more accurately than any human, and its purpose is to produce derivative works. If the machine didn't need human data to do this, this discussion would be academic. But it does.

So the whole future of the Arts will be decided by investigating what the machine actually does, not the simplistic idea of it´s just like a human.

You have to evaluate the machine's abilities and impact onto the world. And that's the tough part. But just saying "hihih it's just a person" while it produces superhuman output is not a solution, it's just a lie that was invented by the people profiting from these models.

>Is your argument that this AI would be legally prohibited from viewing any images it doesn't have a specific license for?

Yes. You pay for access.
So a separate server running a monolith is not "unnecessary architecture", but a simple Lambda function is?

With a Lambda function you can have a dozen different versions of the same code running simultaneously with zero extra cost and none of them will affect each other's performance. Every one of them will be versioned and you can instantly roll back to any version or pick any version to be "production".
I would really like to get my DNA analised. Mostly to see what deseases I might be prone to get. Obviously 23andMe cannot be trusted. Is there a more privacy focused provider? Ideally who just gives me the result and then deletes my data?

> Free will seems to be qualitatively different to randomness.

There is no such thing as free will, so any attempt to define it will fail.

If we naively define it as something that isn't just pure randomness, but also something that isn't pure causality, then what is it?

Either things are causal, in which case, you can replay everything and arrive at the same point. That doens't fit an intuitive definition of free will.

Or there is randomness, play the same sequence of events again and some inherent randomness will cause a different outcome. That also doesn't fit any intuitive sense of free will.

So, since we can't even define it, it is meaningless to assume there is free will in the first place. We can talk in terms of causality or randomness.
Willfully misrepresenting someone and accidentally misreading them are not at all the same. The campaign against Stallman was obviously not one angry person who didn't read his words closely and ended up arguing against something he never said. It was a coordinated smear campaign to remove people who believe in free software from public view.

I think it makes sense for companies to start with decode though. That hits pretty much 100% of users--everyone watches video.

But only a small fraction of users actually create content and need accelerated encode. And Apple especially I think is unlikely to use AV1 for their video recording, given their investment in other formats for that use-case.
