Copyright exists only on complete works and not characters; however any ai produced materials which use trademarked characters would violate trademark. It's just that ai cannot violate copyright unless it produces an identical copy of an existing work.
This is a good argument, but it would drive their valuations even higher if there were two competitors leading to a bidding war , instead of just one Adobe
That’s a very good question. How often is it too low? Once in 2 year? I could live with that. Once a week? Time to visit repair shop.

Could it be simply that WinHTTP collects usage telemetry and MS wants to ensure their valuable feed by forcing all traffic through their library?
Because the people building it find value in doing so.

Why does someone learn woodworking and make a chair when they can buy one from a store? Or why do they come up with their own design when they could follow someone else's plan?

Creativity can be a lot of fun, particularly when not bounded by practical concerns.
TLDR

Compares “using a computer” to “using an AI” as if they’re the same.

Makes AI companies out to be the victim of AI doomers without offering any kind of solution to the people using copyright as a tool to protect their livelihoods. People are not IP maximalists on principle I’d have to guess but if it’s the best available means to safeguard their work from being leveraged against them they will use the means they have. Until that issue is addressed articles like this fall on deaf ears.
This article feels a bit disingenuous. They have no proof of that, and to be fair the ChatGPT is fairly basic, it has millions of users but that's it.

I tend to think those awards are probably not "what is the most popular" but "what is the best showcase for our platform".

>there were no warning signs. There was no trail of communication saying, "You are underperforming."

I don't know about the U.S but in many countries, I imagine this would be a valid justification to reject a PIP. Take it to an employment tribunal and say: "There was no indication that I was performing anything other than as expected until I was handed a PIP".
I dunno - a guy with 200 billion dollars that thinks the world is out to get him can do an awful lot of damage.
> You can disagree with his conclusions but it's not like it's helpful to assume that this man had zero moral compass and was pure evil.

That analysis approach is useful for historian to understand human behaviors but should not be the bar one uses to evaluate a legacy. Hitler believed that the raising of the Third Reich was absolutely necessary for German survival. We can acknowledge that in understanding how a person becomes pure evil while also observing that, yes, he was pure evil.

Nobody is the villain of the story they've told themselves. We have the privilege and perspective to evaluate whether that story was awful and should never be repeated.
I did similar -- not to the level of Youtube videos -- but have that list for spouse in case something happens to me.
It's not so clear cut. The author of the original PR had serious gripes about jart's handling of the situation, especially how hard they pushed their PR, practically forcing the merge before legitimate concerns were lifted.

I actually like how the document dates itself, for example in the /opt description:

Hey now. The article demonstrates Altmans sincere and heartfelt commitment to "no comment".

We should normalize tech companies vesting monthly.

Everything else is a scam to pretend like you have good wages when you really don't.

I get at startups - there's some artificial need to keep the number of people on the cap table low. I'm not sure why one of the cap lines can't be "EMPLOYEE EQUITY" which is a company (like a VC company) where the shares are distributed by that company to the employees in accordance with their contracts...

This is a problem that could definitely be solved, but like most "problems" - it's working as intended - to give employers the optionality to clawback your equity if it ever really does become worth a ton and they don't like you.
Even if so, ARM or RISC-V are more attractive architectures in many respects; and there are proof of concepts demonstrating that very lean operating systems with GUIs can be built with high-level languages, even with GC (see e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem3/); so writing such a thing in assembler is certainly impressive, but also a cul-de-sac.
Nobody is afraid of tech competition. The US is acting on the assumption (intelligence?) that China will start a war of aggression in the near future. If war is a given then every bit of tech will translate into more dead. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I recently learned about VeraCrypt’s support for EMV cards and PKCS11 compatible tokens as keyfiles. I don’t have a use for that, but it’s a fantastic thing. Effectively giving you hardware MFA for encrypted vaults.

"To make matters worse," says EMI's complaint, "Defendants recently sought to register their infringing sound recordings with the Copyright Office, apparently claiming that because they copied the sound recordings using their own computer system, they now own these digital copies and have the right to distribute them to the public."
That "unfortunate" probably has been deliberately put there by Sam, possibly for the reason you said.
I use it about 15-20 times per day mostly because it fills the gaps in the documentation of the tools and languages I'm using.

Long range EV’s are already at 5+ hours of driving at highway speeds, adding a single 60% charge (20% to 80%) and your talking well over 8 hours or ~1,000km which is longer than what most people do in a single day.

As such battery capacity is a huge deal on road trips assuming you can charge to full overnight and don’t excessively speed.

Of course you get let go immediately. Who wants a fired employee to linger for 2 weeks? That would be an awkward half month. Otoh, companies usually pay a minimum of 2 weeks salary.
I disagree, having been on both sides of PIPs. Not all PIP reasons are about not being a certain level of engineer. Sometimes it's about behaviors or the lack of them. In some cases, the forcing function of a strict timeline with high stakes attached is what people need. Usually not, but sometimes yes. Anyway, it's a tool that's to be used as a last resort, 99% of performance cases should have a much lighter solution before they escalate.
Most of the US, AFAIK, doesn't have a mandatory yearly vehicle inspection like Germany (and other countries). Mix that with massive trucks with massive lift kits and you get these fun road behemoths that blind you, even with low beams. It's infuriating. I walked past a lifted truck yesterday in a parking lot and it's hood was level with the top of my head. I'm 6ft tall. It was comically large. How can you drive something like that around? You could hide an entire family in the front blind spot!
A few years ago I worked on a Solaris box that would lock the whole machine up whenever I grepped through the log files. Like it wouldn't just be slow, the web server that was running on it would literally stop serving requests while it was grepping.

I never worked out how that could be happening.
Having the context for a recipe makes it a lot easier for me to evaluate whether this is probably a quality source or not. I really don't get the hate so many people seem to have for anything other than a list of ingredients and steps to follow.

In general, the context of search gives some insight into the credibility of the source.
How do you market or spread the word about them?
It's about liability management I think. The company can show a judge that "they did all they can" while like the same time gathering a paper trail on the employee.
Recipes without adverts, and 97% complete python scripts for small projects I'd otherwise never get around to.
This reminds me of the big piece years ago talking about employees crying at their desks from the pressure. People joked about it, and to be fair, it wasn't that common.

Reality is, you wanted to find a conference room or the bathroom for that.

Let's not forget that in order to use said documentation legally later, you would potentially run the risk of violating company policy on confidential information disclosure.
> I regularly use it for menial tasks

Like random formal letter to AI? Maybe it is a societal problem more than a technical one if we all hate writing and reading these.

I don’t get the search documentation part. It has obvious blind spots on many things and hallucinate on others.
Thanks! They are the typically the easiest to treat and while they are technically cancer, they are generally a world apart from the serious cancers.

A zipper also interleaves matching (in order) pairs, not just random items anywhere on each side!
I am amused by this comment, because it shows a dramatically different type of thinking. I have probably have thought "I wish this was faster" for nearly everything I do on a computer :)
> The security of a remote password manager will only be as secure as the transport encryption, this is true. But TLS is pretty solid these days, the risk of breaking it is much smaller than other risks involved here.

I would add for the sake of the conversation that any good password manager worth its salt (pun acknowledged) is using end to end encryption that isn’t reliant upon the promises of TLS.

(Authenticated) encryption on the client is key to any syncing password manager being able to fulfill expectations of privacy and security.
You’re just out of touch with how much people can make in the US.

An IC software dev L6 offer I reviewed for a colleague 4 years ago was TC comprised of 180k salary and a little over $1 million of stock with a 4 year vest that Amazon backloads so you get most in the last 2 years. $200k in a single 6 month vest cycle is definitely possible in that offer depending on timing of amzn stock.

This article was from someone who had been at Amazon 6 years and who was managing people. They were HR, which obviously doesn’t comp like software, but once you’re managing a team the stock may be similar.
> -person quits right after stocks vest which upsets boss who put extra effort into helping them

That's one reading, but unless we assume that OP is straight up lying in their description of events, the boss was lying to them about whether they were on a PIP or not, and had given them no indication that their performance was flagging until suddenly doing this to them.

It doesn't sound to me like the boss put in extra effort.

GPT-4's solutions are usually correct the first time around, or can be corrected by telling it what it did wrong. The ask-clarify-correct loop is still faster and less effort than doing it yourself.
This is a whole lot of nothing. These awards are and always have been a way of showcasing great apps on app platforms. They are not "what's the best thing in the world this year that has an app".

ChatGPT is a boring app. It doesn't have a ton of platform integrations, it doesn't show off the capabilities of the platforms, it doesn't push any boundaries on what an app can be. The product might be great, but that's not the point.

This is my personal opinion based on years of following Apple's awards, I don't have any inside info in my role about this and this is not my employer's opinion.
It’s about 20% recurring and 80% one time license sales.

My high level business plan is that my app is probably useful to 1% of businesses worldwide. This equates to $500,000,000 or $50M/year over 10 years. Big goals!
What if, in the future, we have more than two options (light and dark)?

@media (prefers-color-scheme: [name]) seems more extensible, but this feels simpler and easier to read.

Glad the function accepts custom properties (CSS "variables").

Late stage? This is SOP for many large companies going back decades. The tech companies are just sort of new to it and gave it a new name. Many companies in the 70s/80s/90s famously had their 10% culling every year. Microsoft called it stack ranking. This is hardly new and is fairly commonly done in many industries. The book name escapes me but the CEOs loved it about how it touted this very thing to do. Is it the 'right thing', no. But is something you should expect from companies. They are not your friend or buddy or partner, no matter what lies they tell you. They are the people who pay you to do work.

In the past 15-20 years the tech world has been sheltered from it. If you could code you could make decent money. That part is starting to stabilize as more people can do it. The supply is catching up with the demand. 'Late stage capitalism' is a catch all term for 'the parts of the economic world I think are bad'. If you ignore the curves the curves will remind you that supply and demand exist in all models.

Also lawsuits do not happen 'instantly' someone has to pay for the lawyers to make it happen. You have to make sure the law is on your side. You also have to make sure the judicial system is on your side. A class action lawsuit is not a cheap thing someone does in their spare time. Oh and if you mess up you run the risk of ruining your law practic and the political estabilisment going after you.
If I'm looking at MDN for JS docs, I don't need to cross-reference anything. Yet I can't be sure it used the same MDN in my answer as opposed to some random SO post.

I could specify for it to use MDN exclusively but at that point I might as well use search.

In addition to that I could judge the quality of search results (a lot vs little mentions of a technology, shady vs reputable site etc.) to make educated guess of the output I'm getting from search. Can't do that with GPT.

These are key differences off the top of my head.
Which is a smaller model, that gives good output and that works best with this. I am looking to run this on lower end systems.

Consuming less, what a thought!

I feel I need to consume less in general whenever I’m outside the U.S. It might be the lack of stress that pervades everything in the U.S.

I don’t need material things to comfort me when my spiritual needs are taken care of.
> It somehow sounds like the author is upset that someone forked his project.

I didn't get that at all. It reads like he is slightly annoyed that he is getting detail requests for a half baked fork though.
Not a problem in practice if you're a developer. It's probably worse if you're just copypasting without understanding anything.
Approach it with the same critical eye that you use to consume any other information.
Yes, not paying someone to show pictures of your product is blackmail.

We're not talking about the blackmail bit because it's utter nonsense.

What is really oddly specific is this instruction :p but I believe it is a common trick to quickly scan for short string matches.

It computes `sum(|x[i] - y[i]|)` for consecutive `i` at different offsets, so it should be zero at substring matches.

For context: https://epubs.siam.org/doi/pdf/10.1137/1.9781611972931.10

I was slightly mistaken, the instruction of interest is _mm256_mpsadbw_epu8
If I remember properly, voice2voice is only available natively on the mobile application.

I remember seeing here that his default system prompt is also optimized for oral conversations.
Its kind of ironic that here in HN, a forum about technology and software, a lot of people have sentiments about less electronics and software. We know this stuff breaks in bad and odd ways and the more you have in a product (car) the more chances there are of it happening. Less is more.
It depends. A lot of times it's just a new, say UMG song that samples another UMG song so it's just Hollywood accounting with cross charging.

When say Madonna sampled the Beegees, I'm sure it was a large ordeal.

But for low profit or no profit work (independent stuff), the answer is nobody cares.

Bob James, one of the most sampled artists in history, take it in stride. He's happy that so many people are listening to his stuff. The Winston's (the famous amen break) were also happy the track got such wide acceptance.

Killing Joke, on the other hand, felt "Come as you are" was a rip off of "Eighties" and only dropped it upon the death of Kurt Cobain.

Or take Toni Basil's Mickey, which is actually a cover song of Racey's Kitty. Toni Basil has gone to court to secure pretty exclusive rights to the song. Racey does not get any of Toni's cash.

So it varies and it's messy.
I wonder if fired employees could take a class action lawsuit against these types of procedures. If acceptable performance is altered relative to how many people need to be let go, and there is data showing that few survive the PIP (Employers claim that the intended effect is to help the employee improve performance) then surely that's evidence that the so called Performance Improvement Plan is a sham.
Random life stories are everywhere, and have nothing much in common with cooking well. Even before LLMs could fake that part as easily as the recipe itself.

Only way to know if a recipe is good is to look at it.
Sounds like a slimy way to manipulating current situation and distancing people from some real problem.
I've found that for questions that aren't super complex on things that are extremely likely to be in its training dataset (such as public documentation of popular Python libraries) the error rate is very close to 0%. Even compared to GPT from a few months ago I've found the accuracy of responses has increased dramatically.

I still believe anyone using these tools on a day-to-day basis should have a sense of "trust but verify."

There is no “confidence score” from an LLM output. You cannot tell whether it is making things up (and potentially make very bad decisions based on it’s output)
There are plenty of ads on Twitter and thus plenty of advertisers. The problem from Twitters point of view is partially that those advertisers don't pay enough, and more importantly that in many cases they aren't the sort of company Twitter wants to be associated with. Even ignoring the money, Twitter would much rather have Disney as an advertiser than 1000 different drop shippers.
Both are well known public figures (business men).
