You can't use regulations to change physics, and (demands or no) it is unclear what sort of interoperability is really possible.

What will really happen is that there will be some subpar common denominator. An existing "walled garden" (WeChat?) would add support for this as well.

But this would wind up being rather insecure, because messaging services tend to use email addresses they don't control or phone numbers they don't control as identifiers. We'd have to wait for carriers and email providers to be regulated with the burden of solving this mess (for markets they aren't in).

If you don't like machine evaluations, you can take a look at the lmsys chatbot arena. You give a prompt, two chatbots answer anonymously, and you pick which answer is better: https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboar...

On the human ratings, three different 7B LLMs (Two different Openchat models and a Mistral fine tune) beat a version of GPT-3.5.

(The top 9 chatbots are GPT and Claude versions. Tenth place is a 70B model. While it's great that there's so much interest in 7B models, and it's incredible that people are pushing them so far, I selfishly wish more effort would go into 13B models... since those are the biggest that my macbook can run.)

Laying out a graph so it's "friendly to humans" is a seriously hard problem. I've built complex DAG workflow engines using networkx and its layout tools and they worked just fine. But, yeah, I guess it depends on what you need?

the existing copyright rulings are sufficient to determine this, and has nothing to do with ai models.

You've already pointed out a case - if you use an AI to generate an image which has sufficient likeness to an existing one, then the AI portion is irrelevant to the ruling. You could've made that same image in photoshop without AI, and should obtain the same ruling.

But in the above circumstance, the silkscreen used in the creation of the image does not itself infringe. And replace that silkscreen with AI model, nothing has changed.

A system with truly "free markets" in a hypothetical economic system will have perfect competition [1], which includes zero cost to enter and exit markets, large numbers of buyers and sellers, rational buyers, perfect information, and profit maximization of sellers (among other attributes). In this hypothetical model sellers cannot capture excess value because competitors will take that opportunity to capture larger market share.

Excess profit capture represents market failure or disruption.

If including a copyrighted work in an AI training corpus is theft because of its influence on some artificial neural net, then so is viewing it by a human being, whose memory is now somehow the property of the copyright holder, an absurd conclusion.
I don't actually think it's that unreasonable. Apple has broken people's trust many times and come out just fine in the end because they are a huge company with many products participating in many markets. A small company like Beeper is dependent on a small user base and a significant breach of trust could easily spell the end for them.

That said, I don't personally trust either of them. When it comes to matters of security, I prefer open protocols which can be proven to be secure over pinky swears from companies.
Shoplifting isn't a new thing, and companies have had prosecution and enforcement policies for decades. Anti-theft devices have been around forever too. I was a fairly prolific shoplifter in my teens, and different stores have been putting different protections in place on different products for as long as I can remember.

Yes, devices have gotten cheaper.

But I'd argue the "epidemic" is more than likely a moral panic, and we've seen plenty of moral panics before.

It's easy to remember back to the 80s where the moral panic over kidnappings reached incredible levels and you'd see stores with intense child protection policies, signs in stores, etc. None of that expense was justified by the numbers, yet stores were doing it. Because moral panics eliminate rational behavior. "They're doing it so it MUST be justified" probably isn't a solid argument.

This doesn't seem to have been firmly established, but as far as I can tell it's currently thought to be related to how carbon in the solar system's protoplanetary disk behaved when it was vaporized after fusion began in the sun. The question was studied in this paper published in 2021 [1], which is discussed in this article [2].

The authors of the paper suggest that the material that formed the Earth was depleted of carbon early in the solar system's history due to solar activity, and that most of the carbon now on Earth was delivered to the planet later on directly from the interstellar medium.

I should note a couple of clarifications to my first comment: the elemental abundance I mentioned for the universe and Earth's solar system does not include helium and neon, which are abundant, but are usually ignored in this context as they're noble gases.

There is also estimated to be slightly more mass in the present-day universe in the form of iron than nitrogen due to the high mass of iron atoms (nitrogen is the fourth most abundant element by mass in the human body, but the body contains relatively little iron). The number of nitrogen atoms in the universe, however, is substantially higher than the number of iron atoms. The amount of iron in the early universe should also have been lower; the element is formed late in the stellar life cycle [3], whereas the other cosmologically abundant elements that are relevant to biology (carbon, nitrogen and oxygen) are formed earlier [4].

If Wired does not want to write the entire disclaimer (whether because it is too long or for whatever other reason), then perhaps "WARNING: THIS DEVICE’S FEATURES ARE SUBJECT TO REVOCATION WITHOUT NOTICE" should be good enough.

> My argument – then and now – was that any tech company that sells you a gadget that can have its features revoked is defrauding you.

Yes, I think they are correct, and whoever sells you such thing should be sued for fraud.

Although, forced automatic updates can be a problem anyways, together with many other problems of modern computers, such as "always-on network access with indiscriminate criminalization of user modification" and much more problems than just that, actually.

> Imagine putting years of your life into making a program – showing up on set at 5AM and leaving your kids to get their own breakfast, performing stunts that could maim or kill you, working 16-hour days during the acute phase of the covid pandemic and driving home in the night, only to have this absolute turd of a man delete the program before anyone could see it, forever, to get a minor tax advantage. Talk about moral injury!

Of course, they shouldn't be allowed to remotely delete your files like that anyways. But, nevertheless, it is why WORM media is important (although I don't know how to make it secure enough against remote tampering, if the writer device can somehow be programmed to destroy it; however, you could print it out, or even write it out by hand if you have to).
I don't think I've ever seen a wax takeout container.

So, as an ethnic Chinese, when I make spaghetti carbonara in the United States, I'm making "Chinese food"?

Interesting.

I haven't made or eaten crab rangoon before, so does this fact make spaghetti carbonara "more Chinese" than crab rangoon?

I mean, personally I think the English language is still trying to adopt to the multi-ethnic situation in the USA, which is why crab rangoon would be classified as "American Chinese food" instead of "Chinese food". But I guess language is flexible enough that if enough of you insist on calling it that, eventually it will stick.

May you suggest another term for the food that Chinese people outside of the US actually make and eat? Maybe "authentic Chinese food" sounds too ethnonormative for your culturally diverse palate, but I can't think of any good alternative, and simply using the same term for both types of "Chinese food" seems counter to the cultural diversity you espouse -- I mean, unless "people all over the world" just means Americans.

> If it was literally impossible to profit from digital video content creation, there'd be still be countless videos, and the overall quality (in terms of content value, not production value) would also probably be higher.

A lot of YouTubers I enjoy watching are very tech/science focused and use proceeds from their videos to purchase equipment that is used to create content. I don't think their channels would be nearly as interesting if they didn't make shiny-toy-money from it.

> Advertising is at least trying to make you think thoughts it feeds you.

BuT aDs DoN't AfFeCt Me!

I'm honestly frequently impressed how how often people don't understand what ads are or do. Especially considering they funds most of our paychecks. Everyone is affected by ads and convincing yourself that you aren't makes you more vulnerable to them.

I think the problem comes from people thinking ads exclusively are about selling things that have a monetary value. But ads sell ideas. Often that idea is that you should buy something, but sometimes it is a preference like a politician or a celebrity in their latest scandal or rise to fame. Ads can be good too, like public service announcements. But for sure we're over inundated with them and there's too many bad ones.

I am also particularly peeved about the ads that come from email addresses I can't exactly block. I really don't think anyone should be accountable for missing an important email if the sender also sends 90% junk from the same address. I'm looking at you every university ever[0]

> skip any ads I can like a peasant on my TV or phone.

Maybe check out reVanced. You can recompile the YouTube APK to be ad free.

[0] Here's the text from my uni's page when you click unsubscribe. What a joke. I don't need emails from the alumni association, publicity channels, or all that. And you have the audacity to try to convince me it isn't spam? What a joke. I'm glad I use a third party mail client that can filter this stuff but it is an absolute joke that we think this is acceptable. It shouldn't require special tools. There is a clear difference between police reports and the alumni association and they even come from different senders. In fact, not allowing for you to unsubscribe actually goes counter to the safety claim because it teaches people to ignore your emails.

> In order to share information quickly and efficiently with faculty, staff, GEs, and students, the university uses email as its official form of communication. All emails that end in an @<theuniversity>.edu address are required to receive email communications sent by the university. As such, there is no option for @<theuniversity>.edu email accounts to unsubscribe from official university communications emails and these emails are not considered spam under applicable laws.
In a situation where the growing perception is that police are doing nothing to stop petty crimes, using police data on reports of petty crimes is a pretty bad way to check the truth or falsehood of that perception. The perception itself leads to less reporting of these kinds of crimes.

I don't know what the truth of the matter is. When I traveled to the US a few months ago (from Australia) I was astonished by both how many people expressed increased fear of crime, but also, some of the warnings I got for things that were no longer safe to do. I was shocked by the warnings because many of them seemed so obvious. One woman in SF told us as part of her warning about crime and homelessness that we had better not leave expensive items like phones or laptops out on our car seats when we park. Sometimes I wonder if the bar in America for expectations of safety aren't set differently.

That said, whether or not that's true has no bearing on whether or not things are getting worse or better. I'm just on a tangent I don't quite know how to pull back into my main point.
Right, but I can imagine a system where you can enter a "subpoena ID" and it can tell you if it's valid and when it was issued, possibly even which jurisdiction.

That should be enough info where folks can verify the validity of their subpoena w/o revealing too much data. Including date of issuance and jurisdiction should help prevent using stale IDs to scare someone.

If the subpoena is not sealed, the ID would show all the subpoena info, further narrowing down the ability to replay stale IDs.

I'm definitely missing something obvious though because technical solutions are often not a panacea in cases like this
There were basically two prongs to Zionism, (1) encouraging the return of Jews to their homeland, and (2) supporting the creation a Jewish state. Now that Israel exists, (2) has morphed into something like "supporting Israel's continued existence and connection to Judaism".

I think being anti-Zionist means being against both prongs, meaning that there should no longer be a Jewish state. Given the practical implications of that, it seems hard to justify without antisemitism.

Wikipedia has a whole section [1] on "View that [anti-Zionism and antisemitism] are not interlinked", but those supporting that view seem to be using an overly-broad definition of anti-Zionism.

I have a couple v1 Solokey Somus lying about. Good little devices. Unfortunately the main selling point of upgradeable firmware is moot if they no longer support the old devices and you have to upgrade. At that point it's they're like everyone else. Except they require some setup on some machines, whereas other keys "just work"

I've since replaced them with yubikeys. Yubikeys have a better feature set (at least compared to by v1's) and at this point are fairly mature/stable. V2 is still pitched as alpha quality, and probably will be deprecated with a v3. As much as I want Solokeys to succeed, I just can't recommend them either.
I like using the shadcn/ui library: https://ui.shadcn.com
They are outliers. Most startups focus on feature velocity and sales first, quality is an afterthought, regardless of what they might say. Also, if your project is open source, quality has a lot more weight towards uptake.

No way. Elon has, for a long time, relied heavily on Twitter to drum up interest. He basically has no advertising budget at Tesla and SpaceX. My guess is that he saw his lack of control of Twitter as a liability. after all, things he or others have posted have increased or decreased the stock price of Tesla by billions. not to mention that if he owns the platform, he can juice his own posts which he started doing immediately. so I think it was that mixed with some ego and stupidity and impulsivity and maybe some drugs mixed in there.

That being said, Getty is hardly the paragon of goodwill considering they regularly steal from public domain databases, issue DMCA takedown requests of the stolen content from said databases, and then turn around to sell it to unwitting people for a subscription. They own none of the copyrights for what they are doing but have been allowed to get away with it.
That report is based on policing the likes and shares in social media accounts of teachers, not on what they taught the children or what they themselves did or wrote.

Imagine that was done here (in the US), those teachers might get a talking to, but nobody would buy that they're teaching hate unless students or observers say something.

If someone were to scrub your social media accounts, would they find 0 likes or shares of 'hateful content'? Depending on who you follow, that could be anything from sharing videos of the IDF's attacks, Hamas' attacks, Likud's charter, or even some dude that edited their viral post to inject something positive about Mein Kampf
