Here’s an article specifically on the legality of photo bashing:

https://www.owe.com/is-fan-art-legal-fair-use-what-about-mas...

Your “carte Blanche fair use” claim is nonsense. Copyright owners can, in fact, today stop derivative works that they know about, including photobashing.

By your own admission, AI is barely doing photobashing, so is very obviously not creating original works and is subject to copyright claims.

It gets tiring listening to HN AI enthusiasts pretending that AI is an actual comparison to human intelligence when it’s actually demonstrably a specialized search engine that does little more than copy and paste. If this were not the case, then:

-An AI would be able to feed itself without becoming shit tier nonsense

-An ai would be able to create materials not discernible from its training material

Neither case is true for any AI, including diffusion models.
Yeah Apple's Lidar sensor is one of the most compelling features on their phones. I'm seriously considering switching from Android to iPhone for the first time in my life in part because of it.
Wikipedia editors are supposed to evaluate what the consensus of reliable sources is, and report that. So there's a second-order game being played around what counts as a reliable source.

As far as what the system actually tells you your job is: it's not to do good work, it's to be perceived as doing good work. This is an important distinction.

Notably, promotion in orgs makes demonstrating non-programming skills more important than anything else. Communicating a lot, and well, is likely a much faster route to a better title and better pay than digging into fiddly technical problems and saving the day that way.

You see a mediocre junior come in and carve a shockingly-fast path up the promotion ladder without ever getting good at programming—they're communicating better, and probably, especially, a lot more. The most-visible get promoted. Talk more, email more, message more, speak up in meetings more, call more meetings. Make yourself prominent in anything process- or architecture-related. It doesn't even need to be productive (most of that stuff's not).

The sad truth of how to get paid more in most orgs.

I understand the feeling of Aborsy; in another European country (France) Unions are a non-elected political force that seizes power by force in a factory / company.

Once they have established their power, they do anything they can to impose their law on other workers and collect money from both the owners, and the other employees.

And to be considered part of the group, you have to pay an annual membership to them in order to get “protected”.

I have never encountered a profession that complains as much about their job as Software Engineers. I've worked many jobs in my life: restaurants, construction, teaching, IT Support and so far the best one has been software development. Every job has its annoying BS. I get it's not for everybody, but at least I get to solve puzzles all day instead of digging post holes or dealing with shitty customers.
No, it's really not a myth. Biking in the winter is not fun unless you have completely enclosed paths. Finnish culture means that people do it anyway, but that wouldn't fly in American culture, no matter how good the snow removal and bike lanes are. I say this as someone who bikes year round in a northern city, the vast majority of people have no interest in biking in the cold.

Which iphone 12 pro do you have, I also have the 12 Pro and I'm ready to upgrade just based on the lack of storage and other oddities that I feel would be addressed by getting a faster phone.

WhatsApp can become unusably slow for minutes at a time, apps I just used will close due to limited RAM; mind you I don't have a single game on my phone, I have bank apps, store apps, and messaging apps mostly, along with various utilities apps, like PW manager, smart home stuff, and various productivity apps (MS, Google suites). Nothing feels like it should be this terrible, and yet somehow its become a little too slow and jittery.
It's a self-perpetuating process though, since the productive, skilled workers are by definition spending the majority of their time learning and doing productive things, while the remainder have the majority of their time freed up to play political games and elect more of their own political kind into leadership roles. That tends to increase the workload of the productive people, further pushing them away from the nexus of decision-making as they're too busy keeping things running. Eventually a crisis occurs in the top-heavy organization (or society, even). The doers burn out or leave, only demanders remain, and everything goes to shit.

Perhaps worker-owned companies could help with this, but I'm sure that the time investment imbalance dynamic would still be an issue to contend with.

> as already pointed out, most people have an unlocked door from the garage to the house

Not sure where you live, but every house I've lived in (USA, a few different states) during my entire life has had an exterior-quality door with exterior-quality lock, including deadbolt, between the house and garage.

In the one house I lived in that had a security system, that garage-to-interior door was also wired into the system and arming it would treat it like an exterior door.

Having said that, I still wouldn't want random delivery people entering my garage without my knowledge.
Except that it is currently impossible to replace GPT-4 with an open model.

Most suburbs also have higher density zones where you can have apartments. The single family homes get the majority of the land space, but there are also apartments and townhouses which are more dense.
I wonder if they spend time trying to do support via GPT4 itself.
No I don't think a lot of Europeans wonder that. On the contrary I think most of us know pretty well which priorities we have made and the effect they have on our economy.
It's probably a smaller, updated (distilled?) version of gpt-4 model given the price decrease, speed increase, and turbo name. Why wouldn't you expect it to be slightly worse? We saw the same thing with 3-davinci and 3.5-turbo.

I'm not going off pure feelings either. I have benchmarks in place comparing pipeline outputs to ground truth. But like I said, it's comparable enough to 4, at a much lower price, making it a great model.

Edit: After the outage, the outputs are better wtf. Nvm it has some variance even at temp = 0. I should use a fixed seed.
That subjectivity also changes over time. Just go back and look at some code of your own after a few years.

It's like calling a mechanic over the phone and asking how much it will take to fix your car. The mechanic doesn't know if the engine just fell out of your Model T or if you're just trying to put the key in backwards. How about you bring it in first, then we'll look it over and go from there?

Sometimes you can ask some questions and get to, "Well it's probably X which would take Y but we'll need to see". Then they get Y stuck in their head and it turns out to be the one time out of twenty when the cause isn't actually X but something much more involved.

ReFind Does wonders compared against grub
See now that right there is the issue. _IF_ your developer team and CI environment are all using a similar recent Go. Maybe you can keep this going with a single application and a small team that is actively maintaining that application, but even then I've run into issues with people using different computer with different architectures. Just this past week I had to solve a problem with a Go repo that wasn't building a container caused by the fact that whoever built out the development configuration was using an Intel Mac and certain aspects of the build didn't work on M1/2 Macs. I solved this by containerizing the entire thing, and now the entire setup for repo is a single command. No need to install any dependencies aside from Docker on your machine, no wondering if you're following the instructions correct, just clone the repo and `make run`.

Now extrapolate this out to larger orgs, where months might pass between changes to repos, and commits might be coming from disparate teams. Trying to mandate specific Go versions AND versions of any developer tooling that you might need to run your Go application locally, and you are inviting chaos.

Always build in the container. Local system dependencies are the enemy. Docker configuration for Go is actually extraordinarily simple compared to most languages, and even something like build caching is easy to handle via volumes.
My takeaway is that way back in the 1960s, someone proved that public schools were easily abused for the sort of indoctrination no one would want for their children...

Incandescent light bulbs (combined with "light-pipes") has been used for calculator displays [0]. If we're going to even less electronic and more mechanical devices, herkons/relay switches and rotating drums (with engravings) exist. Card-punching devices could probably be an inspiration too.

But all in all, I'd imagine we'd have to settle on scraping the old equipment stocks. I bet there are piles of discarded but still useable CRTs lying around somewhere.

This article is specifically about not being able to include some of your work in your portfolio, and this is not a problem that's unique to video game artists. It's true of all sorts of people in the entertainment industry -- writers, actors, and so forth.

But in reality it's not really a problem. Sure, you absolutely cannot take past contracted work that never saw the light of day and put it in a public portfolio without permission. Rightly, no team wants any part of the creative process leaked, except when the people at the top choose to.

But this still leaves:

1) A public portfolio of stuff that was actually released by the companies (final video game clips, movie clips, etc.)

2) A public portfolio of personal material -- projects of your own, designed to showcase your talents at their absolute best

3) A private portfolio of unreleased stuff that you can selectively and judiciously show in private interviews, when it's not competing (e.g. show your Dove soap ads to Snickers, don't show them to Dial soap)

And that generally works quite well. Especially your personal portfolio of material (#2) -- everything you work on professionally is often compromised by top-down direction. But when you create stuff that's 100% yours, it allows you to show your unique gifts in the best possible light.
The people have spoken they want big phones, I assure you that's not the reason they're not upgrading. Apple tried making a small phone, and there just wasn't enough interest to justify it. The trade offs, mainly battery life, just aren't worth the smaller screen, not to mention most OSs and apps are made with larger screens in mind.
Thanks, convinced - I'll give it a try
These would sell like hotcakes in the US but no, the US market can only sell the biggest $70k trucks and with the most computerized/electronic crap necessary.
That's why I drag out my upgrades as long as I can. If I want a decent upgrade it's gotta be higher end, and if it's higher end it's gonna be >$1000 CAD (if not ~$1,500). If I have to spend that much, I'm going to try to get it to last as long as possible so that I get the value out of the current phone AND the greatest improvements possible before plopping down that money down again.

The phone makers did it to themselves with the prices.

I may be misunderstanding, but isn’t the technique you describe—using general classifiers to interdict new CSAM and adult content on the child’s device, with reporting to parents—already widely deployed on iOS and largely uncontroversial, since parents can easily adjudicate false positives and edge cases? [0]

I thought the technologies at issue involved either breaking encryption to allow authorities direct visibility into all digital communications, or various flavors of centrally-maintained blacklists of known images, with the idea that the device or the service automatically vets all new user data against the blacklist (e.g. [1]). All of which is impossibly tempting to extend to other types of content that the powers that be find antisocial, inconvenient, or embarrassing.

For what it’s worth, in the US at least, there are jurisdictions that prosecute children as child pornographers for sending images of themselves to their romantic partners (e.g. [2]). I can see how, if I were a parent in that situation, I’d want to know about and deal with that behavior without the fear that my child might spend the rest of their adolescence in prison and the rest of their lives on a pedophile blacklist.

If the company releases every year, you can always buy the lastest tech when you decide to buy. If it only releases every four year, unless you just happen to be in need of a new phone the exact year of the release, you're buying (slightly) older tech.

> Rather than giving everyone a significant reason to switch every few years, the industry seems to think that releasing new models with incremental differences every 9-14 months is the best way forward. It's dumb IMO.

There's a significant reason to switch every few years because (current model vs model of a few years ago) are quite different, even if (current model vs last yeast model) are not.

No, this is silly reasoning. A middle manager somewhere has no clue what Java 5 is. But he does know -- or let's say IMAGINES what he knows about ChatGPT. And unlike Java 5-- he just needs to use his departmental budget and instantly mandate that his team now use ChatGPT.

Whatever that means you can argue it.

But ChatGPT is a front line technology and super accessible. Java 5 is super back end and very specialized.

The adoption you say won't happen: it will come from the middle -> up.
