Very easy to offend or unprotectet to criticism people will not react differently to your just "sligthly" toned version. Slight toning is insufficient when the reaction is that implosive. And I am unsure if this is where the change need to happen - considering that this is critiques class not universal sensitivity training -, but in the receiving end instead. The tone of the original wasn't that harsh, the cut part was more like illustrational/explanatory.
No, certain classes of products don't have to be given away for free. But you can't take tracking as payment. You can still show ads without tracking, or only have paid users.
Design cycles of hardware is long.

The person who benefits from a more efficient codec tends to be netflix/youtube (lower bandwidth costs), and they are far far removed from the chipmaker - market forces get very weak at that distance.
Also Apple has used lots of CPU architectures over the years in various devices (e.g. time capsules, various dongles, etc).

Surely they must have RISC V deeply embedded in various locations invisible to the end user, both for cost and experience.

They could possibly even be used deeply in the bowels of the M and A devices doing some random housekeeping in the storage system or who knows what.

In a funny way the term “CPU” is returning to its mainframe roots with so many functional units harnessed into a system, yet at the same time having strayed so far from its original usage (with multicore, non-linear systems) as to have become meaningless.
If you have two choices ... and I always predict the wrong one ... another way to say that is: "I always predict the one you won't choose." If I can't actually predict which one you choose, then statistically, I should be right 50% of the time.
> Can someone explain again how an ML system scanning and training on a copyrighted work is different from a highly skilled artist doing the same?

Three things immediately spring to mind: scale (1), accountability (2), and profit (3).

1. An automated system can train on data at huge volume, in a way that no single human is capable of doing. Setting aside the issue that training an ML model and artists learning by copying techniques of other artists is, I would argue, fundamentally different acts, _even if we take them to be the same_, we have to acknowledge that in a single human lifetime one person can only "train" on so many works. Automated systems have no such limitation.

2. If an artist violates copyright or oversteps norms around artistic professional practice, they can be held accountable. Companies which violate this by using automated systems so far hide behind those systems ("the AI is doing it/did it") so aren't held responsible (it should be: the company has built the system, and therefore is responsible for how it is used, and what it does). By building up this false sense of agency on the part of systems (which the marketing term "AI" is designed to bolster), lack of accountability is laundered into the actions being taken at scale.

3. Automated systems are, due to their scale, very profitable. I can generate hundreds or thousands of copyright-violating work that dilute the market for artists, and it is incredibly cheap to do so. Fighting those copyright violations in court has to be done more or less on an individual basis (especially if actions like that in the original article continue to fail), which is extremely slow and expensive. If the cost of violating copyright is tiny, and the cost of enforcing it is huge, then it ceases to be a useful tool except for the most well-resourced organizations.

> It seems an ML tool could add a filter to the output and refuse to output a work that too closely resembles one or more work under copyright. Isn't that basically what legitimate professional artists do as well?

No, because copyright is more complicated than "these two things look a lot alike", and legitimate professional artists don't run into this issue, because they aren't constantly trying to skirt the line of "as close as possible to copyright violation while still getting away with it".

> Thousands of artists are capable of infringement, but we don't take away their brushes based on capability.

But they do get sued when they infringe! Enforcement happens, because (for now) it is still possible for independent artists to enforce their copyrights. The argument being made by artists with regard to these ML models is that _they are already infringing copyright_, not that they hypothetically may in the future.
I’m so confused about American copyright law. I was always under the impression that copyright is granted automatically and you didn’t need to “register” it, contrarily to a trademark which must be registered and is only valid for its specific industry.
Also: who really wants to be tracked. I agree must people don't care if they are, but who actively wants that?
It's interesting, all of us interpret it based on the YouTube bubbles we are familiar with:

I first assumed they were referring to the "I have just figured out a secret, little child, and I'm deigning to share it with you" type voice that Johnny Harris and people making videos of that ilk put on.

Then I thought maybe they were talking about the YouTube voice people like Connor (CDawgVA) and Ludwig put on, which is a mix of the "hype" voice you mention and a sort of 80s radio presenter voice.

The conclusion is that there's no such thing as a "YouTube voice" that the GP comment mentions, it all depends on which bubble of YouTube you're familiar with and extrapolate to the whole of it.

It does not make economic sense for a state or even a country to take costly unilateral action to reduce CO2 emissions when the cost is localized and the benefits are diffuse. Many voters like green policies in the abstract but won't like the bills of those policies when they come due.

'Soaring costs are pushing up the price of big wind-power projects, challenging the country’s shift to renewable energy and potentially leading to larger-than-expected bills for residents.

New York state officials in recent days unveiled a slate of wind-farm proposals that would result in higher electricity rates for residents than previously approved plans. That has firms behind older bids rushing to see if they can resubmit their plans at or near the new rate.

The projects are among the country’s biggest and are being closely watched because they show how a nascent industry that is key to the U.S. energy transition will work through the upheaval of escalating costs. The struggles are threatening delays in the current pipeline of projects, which analysts say could hamper the Biden administration’s offshore wind ambitions.

“It’s going to be a tricky 12 to 18 months for the sector,” said Harry Boyle, a portfolio manager at Impax Asset Management, which invests in companies including clean-energy firms.'

I am someone who does a lot of things many people feel are hard. I solder SMD on component level, I play fretless instruments, I program. Yet the hard part is never what you can just imitate.

Soldering SMD is something I can teach a non-electronic person in a few hours, for example. The hard part is knowing what to solder and when. Similarily learning to do the pure technical act of drawing or painting photorealistically can be learned. To paint motifs that are worth doing so and result in a "good picture" are something different entirely.

Maybe you have to take my word for it, as someone who in his life went through hundreds of art school applications, but there will be a difference between some abstract thing a person with true skill and talent did, and something your five year old neice did (nothing against her, maybe she has talent, who knows). Something being (seemingly, to the layperson) easy to copy does not mean that it is. Very often there will be much more behind the work than it seems on first glance. A lot of the very abstract stuff you will find in the museums for example was done in a time where nearly nobody dared to do this. So if your neice wanted to copy that, she needed to go back in time, grow up there and do it back when nobody did it. So yeah she could maybe do it. But she didn't.

When comparing abstract and concrete painting there is a lot to be discussed, but trust me when I say that people in the art scene probably look at art just in a different way that most people. Many people have misconceptions about art a la "what does the artist want to tell us" and then there is just a bunch of splashes on the canvas. The artist can sometimes be a trickster and the art understood from the context in which it was created. Sometimes art also just is and in a world where everything has to be about money, efficiency, entertainment, etc it can serve as a room of reflection with something that is beyond simple answers. I am not going to give a grand defense of abstract art here, I am not a painter and if I were it would probably not be purely abstract.
Now historically painters went into the abstraction when photography came around, which could create the photorealistic image very easily. Nowadays photorealistic painters often just take a photograph and (like your neice), copy it to the pixel. That is of course a lot of work, and maybe there is even a bit of art or rebellion in that amount of work itself, but I find it more interesting when people pull out things from seemingly nowhere in their very own and unique ways.

But I am a musician and I work a lot with harsh noises many people hate to hear. I don't think there is any need for me to even attempt to defend what I like to do and so shouldn't painters.

Show HN: Tonic Validate Logging – an open-sourced SDK and convenient UI
Hey HN, Joe and Ethan from Tonic.ai here again. Alongside last week’s announcement of Tonic Validate Metrics (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38012126), we’ve also released an open-source SDK for logging the performance of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications during development, Tonic Validate Logging. Tonic Validate Logging is used to log your RAG responses to the Tonic Validate App. When RAG responses are logged, metrics are calculated on the responses using Tonic Validate Metrics.

We were working on a RAG-powered app to enable companies to talk to their free-text data safely when we ran into trouble tracking the performance of our models’ responses. So we built these solutions to help us out: Tonic Validate Metrics for benchmarking, and Tonic Validate Logging + the Tonic Validate UI to track performance improvements to help us choose the best system possible. Tonic Validate provides a simple and convenient UI that you can get for free at https://validate.tonic.ai/.

Two key benefits of using the Tonic Validate tools are (1) automatic logging and metrics calculation with just a few lines of code and (2) a simple, convenient UI to help visualize your experiments, iterations, and benchmarking results for your RAG applications.

Our hope is that these packages will become a useful part of the technique layer behind the growing suite of LLM-powered applications and, more importantly, that the open-source packages evolve and thrive with your contributions.

We’re excited to hear what you all think in the comments!

Ah, the problem with that is that you can’t earn enough money, the housing prices are sane but the salaries for workers is not. But there aren’t really the same codes as the west, so you can rent something for $2-300/month. Kids can get by on low salaries they way, but buying is out of reach even. If the prices are affordable by our standards.

Stable Diffusion has been known to make virtually identical copies of the images it was "trained" on, afaik.

This is the typical intentionally misleading argument in favor of AI, comparing a software to a human artist conveniently forgetting that a real artist cannot a create millions of pieces every hour, just that difference makes any direct comparison laughtable because such threshold was an absolute immutable constant for all human history until very recently, and that includes among many other things the incentives artists had to persue that career instead of any other. And of course the societal problems that displacing so many jobs entails.

I agree that this is often the case. I hate people who pull the antisemitic claim and throw it around without just cause.

Right now the main claim is about the university letters that claimed the fault of October 7th terrorist attacks are 100% due to Israel. This is dumb and devoid of factual basis. Also members of the squad said pretty ignorant things about the war.

It's a mistake even Jews make because of basic misunderstanding of the situation. E.g. the grand central demonstration.

This is all based on some correct notion: Israel has been terrible to the Palestinians. That's a fact that the Liberals are 100% correct about. There should be a Palestinian state and settlements should be removed...

But today in New York they had a demonstration which called for the formation of a Palestinian state from sea to river. That effectively means wiping out Israel.

That is the explicit charter of the Hamas. That is why it sabotaged the Oslo accord and stopped peace. Liberals are always against war, but in this case it's a war against a jihadi organization that has done everything to stop peace and a Palestinian state. Some violence is necessary to stop them.

They are also very media savvy and manipulate liberal sentiment with difficult pictures. I saw the Circus the other week. A young liberal was confronting Kamala Harris and said horrible things about Israel. He blamed Israel for the Hospital bombing and made pretty horrendous false claims. This is all false, but by the time it was proven false people don't notice it and move to the next piece of propaganda from the Hamas.

There's a liberal desire to help the weak, I'm a liberal and have that same desire. As a
It got less than half right, so worse than just guessing.

Observation- predicting learned habits and other cognitive-effort preserving strategies your brain uses are not a refutation of free will. The whole point of habits, as Marvin Minsky pointed out in Society of Mind, is to save us from having to think through every little decision, i.e. to make ourselves predictable and unburden ourselves from decisions.

So in this instance, performing "randomly" in a low-stakes event is likely to reflexively trigger off a strategy in the brain which avails itself of some emergent pattern which serves the purpose of reducing cognitive effort. Call this test-taker strategy 1, i.e. just stab at the keys "randomly".

Another approach for the test-taker, call it strategy 2, is to expend considerable cognitive effort trying to model the machine's own model of the test taker's emerging behavior by observing the machine's responses, and then out fox it. (HN is great b/c I know everyone followed that). That's what I did, but it took real effort. Pretty soon, I wanted to drop the heavy thing and just go back to strategy 1.

IMHO the underlying assumption, that this is a test of "free will", is just flawed. Most people will enact strategy 1, be predictable and "lose".

The set of meaningful sounds (phonemes) is pretty conservative though. They can be rendered very differently (and that's what we call "accent" in native speakers), but it's like moving a densely connected graph around in the soundspace — yes the particular sounds might shift, but it's the relation between them that encodes meaning, and that is preserved. In that sense "English pronunciation" does exist.

I considered linking to that one instead but it hides the lead. My son and I were checking in on the latest from the mission because everything had gone quiet since the initial JSC announcement.

To my understanding in many countries this is already illegal in practical terms. Users in those countries are usually permitted to just click through those kinds of agreements and they'll hold no legal water. A EULA must be shown before the user obtains the application or appliance (this for example is why Steam will ask you through click through accepting any third party EULAs before you can download a game and why third party EULAs for a game are listed and readable in an attention drawing yellow bar on their store page) and "back of the box link to the EULA" isn't allowed. (And even then, the majority of stuff in EULAs that goes beyond the liability-related stuff is illegal anyway since they forbid things that are considered rights you just have.)

The US is basically the only country where these kinds of shrinkwrap EULAs tend to have more use than fancy toilet paper as far as I know.
