We won't know for sure until there's actual law or court decisions to reference, but until then, it's worth looking at something like the Monkey Selfie copyright dispute[1] for guidance. The article references a 2014 opinion from the United States Copyright Office

> only works created by a human can be copyrighted under United States law, which excludes photographs and artwork created by animals or by machines without human intervention ... Because copyright law is limited to 'original intellectual conceptions of the author', the [copyright] office will refuse to register a claim if it determines that a human being did not create the work. The Office will not register works produced by nature, animals, or plants

The extension of this to AI would be saying basically that the copyright office simply wouldn't extend copyright of an AI created work to any party.

In the case of one of these songs, though, if you wrote your own lyrics, you would still have the copyright to those lyrics, if not the full piece of music generated from them.

Definatly not the best critique
> Ah yes the judge. Who decides when I see her?

Another judge decides when you see the judge that will try your case.

> Do I just sit quietly in jail until then?

No, you can have your attorney file an habeas corpus to either have your case tried speedily or have you be released from jail until the court date.

Just because you don't know how the law works doesn't mean others haven't thought about these challenges before and solved them. Ignorance doesn't make your arguments stronger.
I remember when consumer external gigabyte hard drives were just coming available. They were still thousands of dollars. They weighed in the pounds, and about half a cubic foot in volume.

I mean, I remember floppies and 5.25 format hard drives in the kb and multiple mb size too, but the gigabyte hard drive era seemed like a significant milestone, so it made an impression. That gb external drive was probably just multiple (4-8) 5.25 drives in a case.

1TB didn't make the same impression because we were already getting to the "more than you need for most use cases" range and the external formats were about as compact as the internal ones with laptop form factor drives.

But TB scale in a micro SD format... Yeah, that is a similar impression to the GB HDD era.
The first 1TB microSD card was released in 2019[0]. It is disappointing that the time to double was about 4 years.

We'll see! :)

Can you please share what you think Substack's content policy should be? Just your rough draft of content guidelines that would "effectively censor Nazi ideology". I'm not talking about vague platitudes but actual rules or guidelines for authors and commenters to follow.
I realize that most people think "professional coders" are on top of their profession and can find bugs with advanced debugger features.

The reality is that MOST people in the professsion never reach that level and are probably on the same level that you are right now.

It feels like there is a really long tail of really good coders but the median coder is actually pretty... average.

I'm putting this out there so that you can get over imposter syndrome. What you did here is amazing and a lot of professional coders would give up pretty quickly and get stuck on the first implementation steps.
I couldn't make any sense of your comment. You start with argumentative "People keep repeating this trope, and it seems to never be true.". Then you tear down some dumb "pizza shop" strawman. Then you basically agree with gp, while acting as if you are putting up some counterargument.
That doesn't mean much though.

How about when you tell them it can store 38 seasons of TV shows in HD?*

Or 40 dual-layer Blu-Ray discs?

Does it seem like a lot or a little?

*Assuming 4 GB per 60-min drama episode in 1080p, and 13 episodes/season, all of which is pretty ballpark.
TIL that on macOS, both `gcc` and `clang` are present, but `/usr/bin/gcc` is in fact just a hard link to `/usr/bin/clang`. So I couldn't compile it with gcc (which is clang) on the Mac, but it compiles just fine with gcc on Linux.

It's really astonishing that we can compile 35 years old code with our current tooling. I somehow doubt that we'll be able to compile 35 years old Java/Go/Rust/... code without changes in the futue.
"We plundered billions upon billions in wealth from you, but it's old now, tainted by magic history and colonial ownership dust, so it would be wrong for you to have any of it back" is by far my favorite dispute claim between civilizations.
That kind of "power" can turn on a dime. I'd be wary of it. In this case the mob learned they have influence when they work together. That doesn't mean they are loyal to Altman, rather that they are influential when united.
Ever since the dawn of 'trickle down economics', wealth has only continued to be distributed upwards and is becoming increasingly concentrated at the top.

This is because the cost of everything except labour has increased, forcing many to try and do more with less. It is completely and utterly unsustainable and I doubt anybody young will ever experience the kind of prosperity that came after WW2.

You can't even rely on getting a decent white collar job and climbing up the ladder any more - loyalty is expected from an employer but no longer offered in return.
They are not Bad People, but they have bad rationalizations .

We already have decades worth of lectures and essays that explain why open standards are good for everyone. It is basically impossible that the people here haven't been exposed to any of those ideas, so they are not ignorant. Therefore, it really makes no sense for me to try to rehash those and the best I can do is to simply expose the cognitive dissonance.
Depending on if they are old enough to remember floppy disks, tell them the tiny card holds as much information as almost 1.4 million 3.5 inch floppy disks (assuming 1.44mb each). If you pile those up, it would be about 4.5 km high. Or if you take the 720kb kind, your pile would be as high as Mount Everest.

Apple has been looking sleepy on LLMs, but they've been consistently evolving their hardware+software AI stack, without much glitzy advertising. I think they could blow away Microsoft/OpenAI and Google, if suddenly a new iOS release makes the OpenAI/Bard chatbox look laughably antiquated. They're also a threat to Nvidia, if a significant swath of AI usage switches over to Apple hardware. Arm and TSMC would stand to win.
"Save everything to the cloud by default" is a standard piece of functionality for mobile apps now, not a small side feature.
Old idea of mine was to institute renters old age insurance systems sort of like social security. Tax rentals and use the money to provide a subsidy for retired renters. I've gotten any number of objections when I've mentioned it. But I think it's fair when you consider the tax advantages homeowners and landlords get.

Cases where a still-living director mucked up a Blu-Ray release of a classic film are fairly rare occurrences, though. There are a handful of examples that get discussed time and time again. But most cinephiles are happy that Agnes Varda, for example, lived long enough to oversee the HD transfers of her body of work. And often when color-grading on new releases gets criticized by random people on social media, actual familiarity with the theatrical prints shows that the new transfer is in fact faithful – the new 4K release of Kieślowski’s Trois couleurs (where the director died but the process was overseen by crew) is one example.

1 Byte = 8 bits

1 KByte = 8 * 1000 = 8 000 bits

1 MByte = 8000 * 1000 = 8 000 000 bits

1 GByte = 8000000 * 1000 = 8 000 000 000 bits

1 TByte = 8000000000 * 1000 = 8 000 000 000 000 bits

2 TBytes = 8000000000000 * 2 = 16 000 000 000 000 bits

All values approximate.

AliExpress USB drives... sounds legit.

TL:DR; fake disks have controllers hacked to report 128GB or whatever, writing to them seems to work and opening the file would give you the first part of the file (so you can see the start of the movie or the song or read the first part of a text file) but the rest of the file will not be there...

Well, we're getting to the point of diminishing returns. Who is going to be buying these?

It's like with HDDs, very few consumers are buying these 20 TB HDDs. Unlike HDDs, MicroSD is largely a consumer product.
Interesting note on the NOW() (or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), they are equivalent to transaction_timestamp(), which means - start time of the current transaction.

So, if you'd insert multiple items in a single transaction, all of them would end up with the same value in the "created" column.

> 'unnecessary conflict' to mean the part of conflict that is induced by the limitations of the medium.

How would you expect to do this without changing the medium itself?

> I still don't know if you see any room for improvement anywhere

I don't see it, no. At least not by adding "features" or by tweaking on the software implementation of the system.

In regards of "social media", I am more and more convinced that the only winning move is not to play, but unfortunately we will never do it. The only option that I see left is to work on "damage reduction", which is why I've spent so much time, energy and money to see if we can get "corporate-free social media" as a viable alternative for the masses.
Does any more knowledgeable person know if this is something that will require hardware support or software support or should it just plug and play in any old microsd slot?
Beeper (Beeper Cloud) already supports SMS/MMS from Android devices, but is unable to do so for SMS/MMS from iOS devices due to Apple's restriction.

As a Signal user, you might have remembered when Signal/TextSecure supported SMS/MMS on Android in addition to Signal Protocol messages, which was a big factor in helping Signal onboard new Android users when it had a smaller user base. Signal never had the opportunity to do the same on iOS because Apple only allows its own Messages client to handle on-device SMS/MMS messages, which gave Messages (and iMessage) an unfair advantage over Signal (and the Signal Protocol).

Anticompetitive measures like Apple's SMS/MMS client restriction harm the market even when alternatives to Apple's products exist. The entire blue vs. green bubble issue would not be a problem in the first place had iOS users been able to switch to a competing messenger app that supports both SMS/MMS messaging and a newer cross-platform messaging protocol (instead of iMessage).
Don’t TSMC make Nvidia’s chips too?
>proof or any logical argument

All of human progress has happened through open discussion; i thought this was obvious. We gain immunity to bad ideas by hearing them within public areas where people can argue for and against them honestly. This leads to people gaining/learning good ideas because they more often defeat bad ideas. Leading to a more progressive society. Ban bad ideas in public and people become vulnerable to them in private.

>The value of saying what you want is not held higher than the value of not being discriminated against.

This is not a cogent argument; The vast majority of discrimination is not verbal, in fact the verbal bit isn't generally discrimination at all but a signal that discrimination may be happening.. suppress the signal and you can generally keep the discrimination.
Fair enough, but one of the advantages of looking at Enlightenment philosophy on its own terms is that it's easier to perceive—and thus learn from—its failures. "Current social philosophy" has the disadvantage of being both current (so are we) and social (so are we), and so we suffer from a lack of perspective. It would not be surprising to me if one could identify weaknesses of 18th century thought that persist today.
Apple has explicitly chosen to keep this feature gap for the purpose of locking customers into the ecosystem and forcing people to switch. This is well documented.

I agree that users are exerting pressure. But those users don’t exist in a vacuum, and Apple knowingly made the decision to force the kinds of social dynamics we’re describing, making them as much a part of this as the users themselves.

I think in a world where we didn’t have the emails between Federighi and Cue, maybe someone can more convincingly argue that this is just bad behavior by users. But all of this has to be taken together. The dynamics exist based on the interactions of all involved players, and I think it displays poor behavior by both users and Apple. And when a lot of that poor behavior is playing out in the halls of schools, I think it highlights Apple’s role even more.
From the article:

"Homes in Scranton—which is a roughly two-hour drive from Philadelphia, New York City and Syracuse and is now known for being where the hit mockumentary show “The Office” took place—are listed at a median price of $179,900 on listing platform Realtor.com. With a $150,000, 30-year mortgage at a rate of 7% on such a home, average monthly payments would be around $1,000. "

Homes are affordable. Just not where most people would like to live.

I'm guessing they're doing it during state emissions certification. When they do those tests they hook up to your OBD2 port [1] and generally a tube goes onto your exhaust. It'd be pretty trivial to detect, "Cable is hooked up, exhaust has more back pressure. Tune engine to X mode."

Hey, I didn’t read your comment as “obsidian is worse”, but “logseq’s way of operation/thinking fits me better”.

Yes, Obsidian has tons of plugins, but I use exactly none of them. The features they add is immense, but I need none of them, because I just write tons of long text files, not dissimilar to old, long text files ubiquitous on the web in the early days (think https://computer.rip style writings, but as technical docs).

The difference between the two is very fundamental as you say, one has an internal database while the other runs on simple Markdown files with minimal extra data on top (except search and index Obsidian keeps internally per vault).

Again, there’s no hard feelings, just a hat tip to the diversity of our brains, way of thinking and creativity of people for devising these different ideas regarding knowledge management. :)

Open source advocates: "With enough eyes, all bugs are shallow."

These researchers: "I see your project includes a non-zero amount of CSAM."

Open source advocates: "How dare you point out an issue? This is a hit piece!"
"Stop greedy developers!"

The proper retort to this is to point to all the homeless and ask: if there were a famine, would the slogan be "stop greedy farmers?"
Why wouldn't it? They sell the API for a reason.

A Rental Pension Program to Compete with Homeownership (2021)
I’ve made an example app for a Flutter plugin I created that can do this.

Open-source, runs natively on all major platforms. I shared videos showing it on my iPad Mini, Pixel 7, iPhone 12, Surface Pro (Win 10 & Ubuntu Jellyfish) and Macs (Intel & M archs).

By all means, it’s not a finished app. I simply wanted to use on-device AI stuff in Flutter so I started with porting over llama.cpp, and later on I’ll tinker with porting over whatever is the state of the art (whisper.cpp, bark.cpp etc).

Repo:
https://github.com/BrutalCoding/aub.ai

For any of your Apple devices, use this:
https://testflight.apple.com/join/XuTpIgyY

App is compatible with any GGUF files, but it must be in the ChatML prompt format otherwise the chat UI/bubbles probably gets funky. I haven’t made it customizable yet, after all - it’s just an example app of the plugin. But I am actively working on it to nail my vision.

Cheers,
Daniel
...and doing either of those things with CUDA is impossible on Mac. Why? Because Apple burned their bridge with Nvidia and threw a temper tantrum, that's why. Now Nvidia can't support MacOS, even if they wanted.

That's kinda the point of my original comment. Apple claims to know what's best, but contradict themselves through their own actions. We wouldn't be in awkward situations like this if Apple didn't staunchly box-out competitors and force customers to follow them or abandon the ecosystem. It's almost vindicating for people like me, who left MacOS because of these pointless decisions.

It doesn't appear any plundering happened in this case, but remember, gold coins are not useful, you can't eat them and they don't actually make a country rich. Colonialism and imperialism are and were not profitable.

This one was on the way to being plundered by Spanish imperialism - you'll note Spain is not a rich country. This happened because of a variant of the "resource curse"; it's hard to develop a country if it's too based on natural resources, whether they're yours or your colonies'.

Also, there were straight up no rich countries before 1900, so we know nothing anyone did before that works for becoming rich.

(There are probably a few exceptions; the biggest one is land, which can't be replaced and so actually is valuable to steal, and that is part of how the US and Australia became rich countries.)
The sad truth is - all of classical nlp is Dead, with a capital D.

The bottleneck for accuracy was always data quality and human effort, not model architecture.

Llms make the data and human problems so much easier, that the benefits of supporting different architectures just doesn't make sense. With quantization, I'm not even sure classical models win out on cost anymore, and they had already lost on (real world) accuracy.

LLMs are the O365 subscription that you just can't fight against with bespoke mini solution. An all in one solution is simply too appealing.

Also, if you have to learn pre-2020 NLP I would just learn to use spacy. It pretty much covers all of pre-2020 NLP out of the box in a well documented package with strong GPU and CPU support.

StreetComplete is great for newbies, especially those that need the gamification approach to be more motivated. But if you are already an experienced OSM editor, you likely have developed muscle-memory in Vespucci or EveryDoor that lets you quickly add additional tags while barely looking at the screen.

Also, as I mentioned in my other post, adding POIs and additional tags in some regions’ urban areas is difficult because you don’t want to walk around with your phone out. And the USA makes it challenging to add and update POIs because you often can’t just walk down a street, the sprawl sets everything too far apart for that. The existing mobile editing apps, alas, cannot make up for political failures.
