Really though, a lot of it can be blamed on the advent of the internet. Which sucks, because the internet is an awesome tool.

This case involved a guy under NDA working with a competitor to build similar product and included testimony from oculus that they used ZeniMax's code, literally, including copy pasted segments.

My read on the case is that it happened, John made a big public outrage post, and then gradually after news interest died down, more facts were revealed that made it much more obvious that oculus was in the wrong but nobody cared anymore.

It's also not relevant to making an ai model. That is at best relevant to producing a similar output using an ai model

Are they viable though? The market they served is holed below the waterline by people getting the idea that they can WFH and the spread of high speed fibre. The years of the pandemic were years where (if it had been well run) a model like WeWorks could have established itself as the alternative to standard offices, but that's ship saled. Who want's to work in an openplan now?
SomeONE, not someTHING, and "creating" isn't the issue, "monetizing" is.
Excellent point regarding the famous Monkey selfie, which I think points to the emerging issue of biological vs artificial agents.

It presents a sort of mirrored view of the GenAI issue: The human photographer does not get credit because the monkey is deemed to be the "agent of intent" rather than him, presumably because it's a living thing. If a photograph was triggered instead by a human tossing a rock onto the shutter, no one would claim that the rock now holds the copyright!

Interesting thought experiment to replace the monkey with other "organic agents" and some method for them to trigger a photo: A squirrel? A lizard? A cockroach? A slime mold? At what point is the organism so "simple" that you say it was just part of the system/mechanism?

Then on the artificial side, to replace the monkey with different mechanisms (as was your point): A photocopier seems quite different to a GenAI model. At what point does the human who set up the situation stop being the "agent"?

> Add on no third place to go to and how work is increasingly ceasing to be a second place with wfh and you just have a loneliness sandwich

The office never was my "second place" as a junior; to me this concept is very much a myth. I spent most of my time in my cubicle or in a meeting room and very little time with people my age. Most of my work got done when I was home and undistracted. I stayed up late coding and was perpetually trying to catch up on sleep. When my dog was in the process of slowly dying I worried every day that I'd come home to her corpse and that she'd die alone. I got lucky she died on a Saturday. Now that I work from home I spend a lot more time with people my age and those problems I faced that seemed to be part of every day life that I just needed to "deal with" as consequences to corporate life have evaporated out of thin air.

If we go that route, then doesn't that remove almost all financial incentive to produce new content that could be digitally stored / copied / recreated?

Because as soon as you create it and try to sell it for $1, someone else will recreate it instantly and put it up for $0.50, and so on until the value of all non-physical works is effectively $0 the moment after creation.

Feels like that would result in way less human art being made.
Powerlifting is probably the safest "sport" there is, which is why many of us nerds do it kind of like people do long-distance running. You pretty much control every variable. Obviously if you aren't ego lifting and "know what you are doing" to some degree.
The GIS in Godot vision talk a bit unlucky, but amazing food for thought nevertheless. The combinatorial repurposing of open source platforms, apps, libraries etc for use cases beyond what they designed for is one of the most fascinating possibilities opening up with FOSS. It is helped alot if people adopt open standards for data exchange.
You may want to rethink "max efficacy" there for the natural family planning approach.

There are multiple methods (temp tracking, calendar tracking, vaginal mucus tracking, etc) that fall under the general header of natural family planning. High efficacy numbers only come with extremely consistent use of multiple methods. With all that work, it ties with the effectiveness of birth control pills. With only a portion of that work, it's not very effective at all in comparison.

From https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/fertil... -

> FAMs are about 77%–98% effective. That means 2–23 out of 100 couples who use FAMs will get pregnant each year, depending on which method(s) are used. If you use multiple FAMs together, they work even better.

> The better you are about using FAMs the right way — tracking your fertility signs daily and avoiding sex or using birth control on “unsafe” days — the more effective they’ll be. But there’s a chance that you’ll still get pregnant, even if you always use them perfectly.

It's not unreasonable to ask for permission.

Copyright law does not care about how an infringing work was produced. It can be traced, or memorized and recreated, or described to a confederate over the phone, or whatever. It is only the actual work that is judged as infringing or not.
This is an off topic question, but it's been tickling my mind since I first saw your comment:

Don't worry, plenty of us "zoomers" are getting sick of it too.
In the case of Canada, the ‘war’ was won/avoided by giving them concessions and treaties, that were reneged on and violated by the colonial government.

The current government tend towards ‘truth and reconciliation’ is an attempt (or at least a gesture) to investigate and rectify these wrongs and treaty violations.

I’m sure the same holds in the US in areas where there was not a wholesale genocide.
Would you prefer Youtube to prevent creators from using sponsored content in their videos? If so, where would you draw the line? Just clear in-video ads? Is it ok to review a product that was provided by the manufacturer for free?

There's a lot of gray area which seems impossible to regulate.

Personally, if a creator serves too much sponsored content I simply wont watch them any longer. Fortunately it's not a problem among my Youtube channel subscriptions.
That’s a pretty narrow perspective. From both the perspective of HF and VHF/UHF.

For HF there’s all sorts of digital stuff going on. Check out FreeDV for a Codec2-derived digital voice mode. We are also doing packet radio (yes, AX.25, still built into the Linux kernel) with BPSK/QPSK modems on HF replacing the 61 year old Bell tones- see https://wiki.oarc.uk/packet:ninotnc#experimental_new_modes_f...

I recently stood up this site to support and track the re-emergence of the / redevelopment UK packet radio network- which is utilising VHF, UHF, a geostationary satellite, as well as HF.

It’s not my bag but I see a lot of VARA going on too.

There’s a lot more going on than just WSJT-X.
For context I work at a startup that was bought by a megacorp but had a west coast swag mentality for years... the swag I got:

- T-shirt, nice water bottle, backpack pins for interviewing (we got them on the swap over)
- Hoodie and very nice ~$120 backpack on start
- Hoodie at 2 years
- Hoodie at holidays every year
- T shirt & hoodie at every con I worked
- Backpack at 2 years
- Team hoodie, 3 t-shirts, or nort face soft shell every year with team logo on it
- Yeti coffee cups for each team I founded
- Custom yeezies

I have around 20 hoodies now, 3 backpacks, 30 shirts. This doesn't include the electronics we got every year. All of this stuff is american apparel (pre-issues) or nicer.

From megacorp I got a bad t-shirt and a paper thin targus backpack and the option to buy swag. When I rolled over to acquired startup we got a swag budget to bribe megacorp employees into meetings with us. It worked very well. We'd get Sr VPs in to a room with just a t-shirt for their kids.

The terminology can be confusing, but "copyrighted" is often used interchangeably with "registered". Copyright in a work exists from the moment it's the work is created, but it's not "copyrighted" in the sense the judge is using until the work is registered with the Copyright Office. Registration is a requirement to sue for infringement. So a work is protected by copyright as soon as it's created, but it needs to be registered before one can sue for infringement. That can be done after the infringement occurs. For example, if a work is created in 2020 and someone infringes on the copyright beginning in 2021, the work can be registered in 2023 and the creator can sue for the past infringement (though not all of the same remedies are available).

The issue here is that the artists are making broad claims that DeviantArt infringed all of their works (by letting them be used as training data), even though they didn't register all of their works. Only some of the artists that are suing registered their works, and they may not have registered all of the works they are suing over. That's what the first sentence in the next paragraph is about: "[E]ven if plaintiffs narrow their allegations to limit them to Output Images that draw upon Training Images based upon copyrighted images..." The judge didn't misspeak here.

There definitely is that kind of tension between the two camps. Generally though it's safe to assume a CS degree is optimized to prepare a student to become a CS professor or researcher. A CS graduate typically seems to graduate about 2/5ths of the way through my program, needing 300 extra hours to be at the same level as my graduates. This is not true for all of them, just most of the ones I've interviewed. There's definitely been some though who are way ahead of my students, usually because they went to an extraordinary university and also put in a lot of extra time outside of their coursework.

It's not cheap though, I do it as a charity. I've recently started my own business, so as of this summer I'm able to actually pay them which is epic. Still the program as a whole operates at a loss. So I do it because I want to pay it forward.
> It makes zero sense to me at all that it's suddenly a problem that art is derived if, instead of artist directly painting something, artist sets up some device that paints something.

I think a big difference in how this tech makes people feel is the amount of effort required. It's a problem we see with technology in other areas, too: it's not (much of) a problem if a cop sits outside a suspect's house for a few hours to monitor their behavior. Most people think it would be a problem if the cops pointed a camera at the house 24/7 for months. Pretty much everyone agrees canvassing society with cameras and creating a public space surveillance panopticon is bad. Where's the line?

Similarly, if some artists spend years learning the craft and mimicking a couple of styles with a relatively small output, it's not a huge problem. The scope is small. But if everyone on earth can do it to anyone on earth at massive scale just by typing "in the style of ..." to an AI, does that start to be a problem?

All the way back in a February 1994 QST article N6XMW proposed "the Wilderness Protocol", my theory is that both _could_ provide a group of people that are coordinated already a good basis to pick up but there just isn't enough coordination for random hams to use it.

The most successful system I've seen are areas with linked repeaters and good backcountry coverage have operators that are volunteering to keep the network monitored during most of the day[0]. Repeaters are always listening and can backhaul you to someone listening in a shack at home. Sure, it relies on a repeater network but it's slightly more likely than a stranger being near you also following the same protocol.

> t basically bans models that can be finetuned to act as a biological weapon which is basically every model, llama, mistral etc

First, no, it doesn't.

Second, no model can be finetuned to act as a biological weapon.

Third, if it did ban “basically every model” on the basis “can be finetuned to act as a biological weapon”, that would be very different than banning open models, and would be bad for OpenAI.

The order directs the development of reporting requirements for thise developing models with certain capabilities within 3 months, and the development within government of risk mitigation strategies for certain risks within 4, 6, or 9 months, depending on the specific area of risk. It doesn't ban or “basically ban” any models.

(It is possible, but far from certain, that on or more of the plans it calls on different agencies to develop might do that, but those would, in addition to the policy guidance in the EO, also need a statutory authority that provides power for the executive branch to issue a ban.)

I can't imagine that overclocking was already a thing back in the 70s. So just because Intel specified a narrow operating range doesn't mean that it is guaranteed not to work outside that envelope.

I can imagine Intel to just have specified a narrow operating range where the device is guaranteed to work reliably within the specified voltage/power envelope. We might be surprised to see higher clock speeds if we play with the supply voltage for example.
1. Why would you cite a trivial non-political example to support your position that they have a political agenda?

2. What separates someone simply having beliefs that inform their lives from them having a political agenda? And where did you ever get the idea that politics is this thing that lives in a bubble, so innocuous as for its effects to be separable from our lives, such that we all have agreed to conduct our lives and careers without mentioning anything related to that bubble? Is it possible you see political ideas you agree with throughout each day and don't find them to be an agenda because they don't make you uncomfortable?
Apparently it includes allowing for sending people to prison because they criticize politicians and jailing people who are carrying a chisel or pair of scissors though.

So your argument boils down to the idea that humans impart a magical, invisible mark on their own artworks, and though no one can measure this mark nor see it, the fact that it exists within your own imagination exempts them from overburdensome rules that you would mercilessly apply to one of the most exciting innovations of not only the 21st century, but even the 20th century before it?

My experience with that verbosity is:

* its annoying to write, good tooling helps (e.g. using the rust-analyzer in an lsp enabled editor)

* it's a godsend when revisiting code months/years later, and in reading unfamiliar code.

Some languages have verbosity for it's own sake, but I don't really see rust as one of those - most of it actually inform the reader about what's going on without a need to go track down all sorts of info elsewhere to understand what effects any given line will have.

Ideally it should be illegal before 18, then parents don't have to worry about peer pressure or ruining children's social lives.

The argument of using apps in school is absurd, schools shouldn't be expecting students to have hundreds of dollars computers in their pockets where pen, paper, and talking works just fine. I could see a non-smart phone for communication purposes, but smart phones are not about communication, they are about consumption.

I wonder if Godot can be analogous to Blender in the sense of their impact on the respective industries. I got my feet wet in the 3D design world and my impression is that Blender already won and the established commercial products began adopting Blender conventions and ideas to stay relevant. I'm not professional in any means and I'm sure there's much more than I've been exposed to but the power of Blender was mind boggling, is there a chance of Godot becoming the game engine?
Agreed. It's a cool project, but it's a compiler for a DSL that is a subset of C.
Prior to 2010, I met A LOT of people IRL that I had previously only interacted with on forums, IRC channels, and what not. I guess that was the exciting part, to see what kind of people they were IRL, as you only had their internet persona and nickname to go after.

We'd meet up at a bar, pizza place, etc. in groups and just shoot the shit. Hell, my roommate at the time got a visitor from the other side of the world, and they'd only been discussing stuff on some (niche) hobby chatroom.

I haven't really met too many like that in the past 10-12 years though. Many forums moved over to become Facebook groups/pages, and the excitement is kind of gone.

I'd rather watch some gameplay footage with no commentary. I don't find that a person reviewing a video game contributes anything meaningful to the decision of whether or not I want a game or not unless I know them personally and we have similar taste.

I have a suspicion that the only way such content has any value today in a world with quick and easy access to online video is that they are given copies prior to the release of the game. They get clicks because of peoples impatience to learn more despite being able to see effectively infinite amount of content as soon as a game is officially released.

But the problem here is that game reviewers livelihood is entirely dependent on getting early access and if they don't speak highly of the game then their livelihood can be cut off. They are basically all bribed into giving positive feedback. I think it is actually worse than nothing at all. It is actively harmful to finding out what a game is actually like.

I guess my point is that we should just wait until a game is released. There are infinite copies and there exists more games than anyone could ever play. Reading some heavily biased opinions about a video game a week before it comes out is not meaningful.
