Probably not. Much more likely that your comment was useless. Like this one. It has nothing to with "picking sides", "being right" or "calling it".

Given how long you've been here and your selective replies, I have a hard time taking your comment in good faith, though. It does read like sarcasm and trolling.
It’s not grammatical accuracy on their part, it’s the opposite, it’s a calque, a word by word translation from their native tongue.

If it was actually perfect grammatical accuracy on their part they’d be saying “Who were you talking to” or “Who were you speaking to”.

Correct is what the people say, not the opinion of literal singular English language teachers.
> Who even initiates the proceeding? For copyright this is generally the owner of the copyrighted work alleged to be infringed. For AI-generated works that isn't any specific party, so it would presumably be the government.

This is the most obvious problem, yes. Consumer protection agencies seem like the most obvious candidate. I have already admitted I am not a lawyer, but this really does not seem like an intractable problem to me.

> The reason you want it to be labeled is for the cases where you can't tell.

This is actually _not_ the most important use case, to me. This functionality seems most useful in the near future when we will be inundated with generative content. In that future, the ability to filter actual human content from the sea of AI blather, or to have specific spaces that are human-only, seems quite valuable.

> But how is the government, or anyone, supposed to prove this?

Consumer protection agencies have broad investigative powers. If corporations or organizations are spamming out generative content without attribution it doesn't seem particularly difficult to detect, prove, and sanction that.

This kind of regulatory regime that falls more heavily on large (and financially resourceful) actors seems far preferable to the "register and thoroughly test advanced models" (aka regulatory capture) approach that is currently being rolled out.

> After 100k, what difference does it make for one's happiness?

Fairly significant depending on the location. Keep in mind that for Washington DC, the average cost of living required income is 91,388 for a family of four[0], or 76,894 after taxes.

This role pays $105k after taxes. One way to think about this is this means you have $2.3k per month in discretionary funds, versus 16.5k per month of discretionary funds for a big 5 job.

If you're considering retirement, you'll achieve your savings goals 7 times faster with big tech. That's a big difference in happiness.

If you're considering education for your children, you can afford private school or an ivy league education with big tech. With the government role you can't.

Certainly there are a select few who will look at this and be motivated to serve their country, but more and more what we're seeing is that patriotism is at a record low[1]. If we're looking to attract the best of the best, we're culling the selection pool greatly by underpaying significantly. Relying on patriotism and asceticism is a hard thing to bet on.

I haven't done much, but anything I ever deal with that involves the government and contractors is the same. The contractor has an astronomical margin and, in addition to not hiring the best talent, they don't care about their employees and have a high churn rate.

These are also the same ones that are super eager to have AI replace their (unappreciated) employees. They don't care about quality at all and as long as they fulfill the contract with something barely working that's all that matters to them.

I predict things are going to worse and worse when systems don't work. Having failures in critical institutions that are life altering for the people that are unlucky enough to be the outliers is going to become the norm IMO.
Like you're saying that there's no place to register on the front page?
Oracle is “most evil” because they maximise the harm they can do legally and have mastered the art of lock-in and rent seeking.

Often they will even acquire companies to expand the rent seeking empire.

Their flagship product has strict legal requirements that you are never allowed to publish benchmarks of comparable systems and believe me they have the legal force on staff to pursue you indefinitely.

They very much deserve the reputation they have.

Google, Microsoft et al. throw the community a bone with loss leaders and generate good will by not being especially litigious.

Netflix is basically not evil in any definable way.

Apple is divisive; their biggest issue is that they are awful to work for and have mastered the art of audience segmentation which is why they can charge $400 for 8G of RAM. Which to many feels evil.

Oracle is easily the worst of these.
One problem have with your statements is that blind subservience to arbitrary authority is something I see more of in “on the spectrum” types than “normies”.

I see it in both groups, and I don’t think being “on the spectrum” or not has anything to do with this trait.

We're pretty sure our daughter has PDA. It's relatively mild, but when it strikes there's nothing virtuous about it. She would fight us continuously on almost everything from the age of 2.5. After 5.5 or so she settled down a bit, but it's still rough pretty frequently.

People would often tell us things like "oh, it's great to have a girl who knows her own mind", and the virtuous framing sort of implies that way of thinking. But that's not it at all - the PDA society in the UK say that it should be treated like a panic attack, and that's basically what it is, at least in her case. It's not her carefully considering the options and rejecting the "normal" one, it's that when a demand triggers it (and not all do, for reasons that we can't work out) her brain completely shuts down due to crippling anxiety. We cannot talk her down, we can't reason with her or apply logic, discipline, bribery or anything else. We basically just have to wait a bit until it passes, and then discuss it afterwards.

I know it's more fashionable these days to refer to it as Persistent Drive for Autonomy rather than Pathological Demand Avoidance, but at least in her case it is absolutely pathological. She is now aware that it happens and hates it and the conflict it provokes in her life. She'd do anything to change it but realistically can't, especially since any sort of therapy feels like a demand and is almost impossible to follow.
The PRC and ROC are two separate countries with a border dispute. Historically both wanted to annex the other and today really just the PRC wants to annex the ROC. The PRC/ROC refuses to have relations with any government that recognizes the ROC/PRC.

You will perhaps be surprised to know that there is a speed limit on the autobahn.

There is a minimum speed limit and a strict set of laws governing your driving behavior.

So no, you don’t get to pick your own specially negotiated arbitrary driving speed or negotiate your own special individual set of driving laws.

German driving requirements (exams, licensing, etc) are said to be quite strict as well relative to many other countries and again, I am not aware of any part of this process where you are permitted to set your own personalized driving laws (but only if you have deemed your assigned personalized negotiator to be worthy of that authority)

In short, a spectacularly poor choice of example (on multiple axes) to illustrate your point.

If it’s any consolation this is a common mistake. I suspect people in Germany are often amused and baffled by others’ tendency to point to the Autobahn as some sort of lassiez-faire libertarian “do whatever you want” zone.

Why limit yourself to only either forwarding emails or to "check for important emails" once per month?

For example, email clients generally allow you to use multiple accounts at the same time. Configure your client to read emails from both accounts at the same time, and any time an important email arrives at the legacy account try to update the sender.

If the autism spectrum were represented as an input paradigm it would be a color picker rather than a number range.

It is not from 0 autism to 100 autism, it's more like a combination of sensory processing, language, social communication and executive functioning differences.

5/2019: The North Face, in a campaign with advertising agency Leo Burnett Tailor Made, hatched a scheme to get its products to the top of Google Images by replacing Wikipedia photos with its own product placement shots.

In the promotional video, the company notes how all trips begin with an initial Google search, and often the first image that shows up is from a Wikipedia article about the destination. ...

The video brags about how North Face cleverly hacked the results to get its products to the top of Google search, “paying absolutely nothing just by collaborating with Wikipedia.” Only, it wasn’t a collaboration at all; it was a violation of Wikipedia’s terms of service for paid advocacy. ...

You just visualize 2 or 3 and say "n" or "infinite" out loud. A lot of the ideas carry over with some tweaks, even in infinite dimensions. Like spectral theorems mostly say that given some assumption, you have something like SVD.

Your reference to "barking orders" shows a major misunderstanding. The demands we face may not be simply barked orders. They may instead be reasonable requests to work on the tasks assigned in the sprint, rather than helping out a random coworker whenever the whim strikes. Or to work on a test during the allotted time so you can get a good grade. Both are demands, and both are problems for a person with poor executive control.

You may well be right that a neurotypical person who simply follows barked orders is doing damage to their executive control. I have no opinion on that. I just know that doing so consistently requires more executive control than I have.

That said, you have a point that I find it outrageous when people fall into ranks behind stupid authority. Particularly when I know that the people doing so should know better. I intellectually know what's going on. But my natural emotional response against it is pretty strong.
I have the Pro 2 and the analog sticks are at the bottom, but yeah the button remapping can be an issue. Not sure about the Pro 1 but the 2 also has an app to configure the settings. Op, one thing to keep in mind regarding the Ultimate vs the Pro/2 is that the ultimate lacks a distinct mode switch that the 2 has (modes being Switch, Android, D-input and X-input).
Exactly this. When I've had employees, the only thing I've cared about is: are they producing acceptable work within the needed time frame? If so, it doesn't matter if they're working one hour a day or eight. It also doesn't matter if they are in the office or not (in practice, about half preferred to be in the office, about half not).
Exactly, seriously -- I get monthly+ e-mails from a gym and a car dealership and some golf course because somebody else put in my e-mail.

I contacted the customer support for all of them and they said they can't do anything about it. To change the customer's e-mail address, I need to prove I'm the customer, and obviously I have no idea who they are.

So I gave up and implemented a Gmail filter in the end, but I definitely wish that parallel with the traditional unsubscribe, there was a way to say "this isn't that person's e-mail". Where I don't have to prove I'm the person, I just have to demonstrate I receive the e-mails.
More like someone wrote a contract to buy a stick for $100k, took multiple steps including hiring bankers to raise financing to buy the stick for $100k, threatened to sue the seller of the stick if they didn't sell it to him for $100k and then eventually tried to back out..

> ...but if you have a law and you’re opposed to it on the basis that “China will do it anyway”, you admit that’s stupid?

That depends on what "it" is. If it's slavery and the US but not China banning slavery causes there to be half as much slavery in the world as there would be otherwise, it would be stupid.

But if it's research and the same worldwide demand for the research results are there so you're only limiting where it can be done, which only causes twice as much to be done in China if it isn't being done in the US, you're not significantly reducing the scope of the problem. You're just making sure that any benefits of the research are in control of the country that can still do it.

> Now, certainly there is a degree of naunce with regard to AI specifically; but the assertion that we will be “left behind” and “out competed by China” are not relevant to the discussion on laws regarding AI and AI development.

Of course it is. You could very easily pass laws that de facto prohibit AI research in the US, or limit it to large bureaucracies that in turn become stagnant for lack of domestic competitive pressure.

This doesn't even have anything to do with the stated purpose of the law. You could pass a law requiring government code audits which cost a million dollars, and justify them based on any stated rationale -- you're auditing to prevent X bad thing, for any value of X. Meanwhile the major effect of the law is to exclude anybody who can't absorb a million dollar expense. Which is a bad thing even if X is a real problem, because that is not the only possible solution, and even if it was, it could still be that the cure is worse than the disease.

Regulators are easily and commonly captured, so regulations tend to be drafted in that way and to have that effect, regardless of their purported rationale. Some issues are so serious that you have no choice but to eat the inefficiency and try to minimize it -- you can't have companies dumping industrial waste in the river.

But when even the problem itself is a poorly defined matter of debatable severity and the proposed solutions are convoluted malarkey of indiscernible effectiveness, this is a sure sign that something shady is being evaluated.

A strong heuristic here is that if you're proposing a regulation that would restrict what kind of code an individual could publish under a free software license, you're the baddies.
I am not exactly an expert, I just happened to do a deep dive into microscopy techniques a couple years ago :-)

The general term for these types of techniques (e.g., ones that let you image things below the "diffraction limit", which is roughly half the wavelength of light being used to image, see [1]), is super resolution microscopy[2]. There are a few other types you might find interesting.

Oracle has always had predatory pricing and treat their customers like indentured servants. However they don't generate the ink of the tech giants because they aren't one. By market cap they are medium sized at best.

Oracle doesn't have products the general public would use on the scale of a Microsoft, Amazon, or Google. So these larger companies are scrutinized far more.
If you look at the scene (aka piracy) every rip from every service is in AVC for FHD or HEVC for UHD. I know you mentioned last resort but the only legit streaming service I have at the moment is Apple TV+ and on fire tv’s at least they are sending h264

I’m also in iptvland and every rip from every live service is in h264 as well, with rare UHD feeds using h265 with HLG for HDR

(For clarification, rip means the exact bits sent from the service with no reencoding, just stripping drm)

I agree this is all very muddy.

Not far from me local officials during riots were giving out warnings (some hilariously wrong) about places to avoid and etc. Very much in the realm of public safety warnings, sometimes they retweeted them, sometimes copied and pasted, and sometimes it wasn't clear if they were "official" or "personal experiences" or just a bizarre rumor they heard (that was the case).

It certainly seems like some healthy "personal" and "work" account usage would make life a lit easier to deal with all this.
