> The simple test for that is, why do people use SSNs as it's not legally required for anything but USG interactions.

Because if I want to open a bank account, rent an apartment, or get a mortgage, the other party requires me to give them my SSN, on the assumption that it is a valid unique key for tracking debt payment reliability.

It doesn’t matter that the SSN is only legally required for interactions with the US government. When housing is a human necessity, and all sources of housing require a SSN, then using a SSN is not a choice from which one can infer preferences.
That's what I thought from my various readings about LLM systems. I'm guessing that the kerfuffle from the New York Times and other shortsighted organizations is that copyright allows them to control how their content is used. With humans, it's simple as its read and misremembered. Using it for LLM training requires a different model. It probably should be a RAND fee system based on volume of training data because, as you say, the training data is converted into an abstract form.

0. Large companies much prefer to settle patent disputes with "Okay, you might have a case for patents A, B, C. We have a case for you infringing on our patents D and E. We like your patents F and G. What do you like from our portfolio? Okay, and we'll throw in these 300 random patents to show we're willing to reduce our ability to drown your lawyers in paperwork. How about you throw in 200 random patents to bring down the size of your paperwork arsenal? Do we have a deal?"

Edit: so at some point in the patent portfolio cross-licensing negotiation, there's a pure numbers game, so for large corporations there is some value in patents nobody is ever going to implement.

At least that's my recollection from 15 years ago about why Google paid me as sole inventor of a patent. (I was working on indexing, and thought "Oh no, if someone does X, then indexing becomes incredibly harder, basically DRM for the web. Webspam could hide more easily. Oh, but if we patent X, that might make my life easier in the future." The patent lawyer zeroed in too much on my mention of CAPTCHA as a possible use case, so I'm not sure if Google could really use my patent to prevent its use as DRM/Webspam hiding. At some point, I decided pushing back against the lawyer to make the patent more broadly applicable might not be good for society. I didn't feel strongly enough to turn down my patent bonus, just strongly enough to stop pushing edits back to the lawyer.)

> It sounds to me like you have a problem with the virality component of OSS and SAMS, as you describe it, is just OSS without that.

You did misunderstand, and I apologize for that.

The one quote I put in about not liking virality was an admission that I used to not like virality for bad reasons. My opinion has changed, which is why I have a note near the end that copyleft is a good thing, that it should be the default, even for SAMS. Especially for SAMS, really.

The difference between SAMS and FOSS is that FOSS gives an advantage to cannibals, and non-FOSS SAMS takes that advantage away from the cannibals.

For the end user, nothing should change between SAMS and FOSS (if my definition is right), and that is probably where your confusion comes from.

> What you described is entirely fair use, actually

Just like during the pandemic how everyone became an epidemiologist, suddenly everyone's a copyright lawyer. I'll just dispute your assertion by saying:

1. Questions of fair use are famously gray, and anyone who declares something as "entirely fair use", with no caveats, is nearly always wrong except for the must obvious cases, which the given example is most definitely not. A judge has wide latitude in determining fair use.

2. People should familiarize themselves with the four factors of fair use determination. In particular, if a work is purely derivative of a source work and substantially negatively impacts the market for the original work, it's very likely to not be considered fair use.

A great overview is https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/four-factors/

Yeah. But probably not for a long time as Uranium from present sources is cheap (enough) and plentiful (enough) and if that should ever get more expensive we can start looking at the huge stockpiles of 95% unspent fuel that we call "nuclear waste". Burning that would (a) give us a lot of electricity and (b) reduce the radioactivity of whatever is left dramatically.
I am not unsympathetic to the disparity you mention, but am advocating that distributor gorillas (like Amazon, but others as well) need strong controls (both regulatory and technical) due to their incentives to not be compliant and the potential negative outcomes (illness, perhaps death even, depending on material and consumer) from non compliance.

When I was around 12 years old I convinced one of my parents to buy a little book about C++ for me. I read the first chapter with great interest and wrote variations of input and output things with pen and paper.

Then I tried to follow the instructions on how to build and run a program on a computer.

I managed to install the IDE they recommended; one called Bloodshed Dev-C++. I managed to type the code for hello world into the IDE, and I managed to compile the program.

It produced an exe file that had a black terminal icon.

I double clicked the exe and it opened and closed very quickly.

It would only be several years later, when I started at the university, that this confusing interaction made sense to me.

At the time I thought I had made some mistake and I didn’t understand what or why.

But what happened of course was that the program started, printed its output and exited, and it all happened so fast that I just saw a window open and quickly close.

Fortunately I did eventually get better introductions to programming. But that first experience was a bit unfortunate heh.

I used Firefox's password manager for a long time but eventually switched to KeePass which is FOSS and not cloud based. It's much better than the browser builtin password managers.

I store the .kdbx file in Syncthing (== Dropbox) so it automagically syncs between all my computers and phones. Use the KeepassXC app on computers along with their browser plugins, and the KeepassDX app on Android (idk about iOS).

One advantage of this is that the passwords work across all browsers. If you use FF's password manager, you only get passwords available in Firefox; but with Keepass they work in FF & Chrome & for native android apps & etc. And with the browser plugins it works about as well as the browser's native password managers. It also has support for TOTP 2 factor authentication.

Also I can easily make a copy of the .kdbx file (literally just ctrl-c ctrl-v the file) to save archives of my password db. (That said, over years of having the database open across multiple devices and editing it while open on multiple devices, it's never gotten corrupted)
It doesn't store the actual links; it just stores information about their likelihood of being used together. So for things that are regularly quoted in the data, it will under some circumstances, with very careful prompting, and enough tries at the prompt, spit out chunks of a copyrighted text. This is not its purpose, and it's not trying to do this, but users can carefully engineer it to get this result if they try really hard. So no, it's not an obfuscated recreation of that copyrighted work.

Of course, if you read NYT's argument, they're also mad when it's incorrect about the text, or when it hallucinates articles that don't exist. Essentially they're mad that this technology exists at all.
Right. When I changed my vps to another hoster, I totally forgot how much trouble it was to get a good reputation in the beginning.

But it was really not that much work again. Just unfortunate, because one big Mail provider just discarded instead of rejecting my mails. After this was settled, everything works quite nice again. Important to me is keeping spf, dkim, dmarc and now also mts up to date. See mail-checker.com e.g.

I still wonder though, why some big mail providers do not do dkim/dmarc? I happen to realize this when I started to fight spam and gave incoming mails without dkim/dmarc a high spam score.
Because they have to for their own purposes.

Even Google still "contributes" to Android. But they made it unusable without Play Services, which is entirely proprietary.

NYC Government Will Fail to Meet 2025 Climate Law Deadline, Officials Admit
I would say it is arguable that is fair use, but the whole thing about fair use is that it is a defense, not a type of license or something you can preemptively apply. So whether or not it will be protected under fair use is actually not determined yet. In fact I would say that’s the entire debate here, right?

I have worked on many documentaries and any time we said “fair use” internally what we were implicitly saying is “nobody will come after us because they know that we are probably safe under fair use if this escalated.“ But again, we could never preemptively apply it. We were just anticipating potential conflict and gauging how likely it was to occur.
>> But the issue remains thay the FSF could turn most of its GNU software proprietary.

This is a good point. CLAs are bad because they are designed to allow a license change. The only organisation I would be likely to contribute under a CLA is the FSF, but that's mainly because RMS is still there and I know he won't pull the rug.
> Yes but it is "just a tool"

In your mind, what distinguishes something that is "just a tool" from something that is "more than just a tool"?

To me, this framing is just not useful. It doesn't tell me anything about the implications of the existence of the tool. If I described an ICBM as "just a weapon" in a discussion about weapons that also includes bows and swords, I don't think it fits in the same category. To me, "just a tool" is fundamentally reductionist. It's anti-curious. It papers over the interesting parts of what's going on and leaves us with nothing to assess the situation. It forces some kind of artificial equivalence between things that are entirely unlike each other.
> I don't know how you can make something like this "easy to recover" without introducing giant security problems.

In a similar way for instance that you would recover a lost, stolen, or accidentally destroyed US passport (but presumably cheaper).
Just for curiosity sake, I looked at the standard RNG in C# and it is indeed flawed, but probably not enough to be seen unless you are doing formal tests.

In [1] it says that numbers have a 0.5034 probability of being odd due to rounding errors in the algorithm that picks a number in a range, which is unacceptable for a simulation, but may actually be better than a real coin toss [2]. The raw RNG is also flawed but not that badly [3]

I see the exact opposite - any open source model is going to become prohibitively expensive to train if quality data costs billions of dollars. We’re going to be left with the OpenAI’s and Google’s of the world as the only players in the space until someone solves synthetic data.
It's pretty sad. I wanted to do a one time donation to mozilla last month and they kept and kept pushing for a recurring one instead.

Aggressive marketing tends to trigger in me an equal and opposite reaction, so they didn't even get the one time donation.

Also, they should get rid of the 'what's new in firefox after an upgrade' and just give me my pages back. 99.99% of the time I don't care what's new. Also, the popup that tells you there's a new version available that randomly shows up over what you were trying to read. Just let me get on with my stuff, will you?
It would be great if they allowed that for Ctrl+F as well. Jupyter Lab infuriates me with that.

> The suit demonstrates instances where ChatGTP / Bing Copilot copy from the NYT verbatim. I think it is hard to argue that such copying constitutes "fair use". However, OAI/MS should be able to fix this within the current paradigm: Just learn to recognize and punish plagiarism via RLHF.

Fair on the first point, I’ll adjust the text to clarify the need for a BS.

On the second point, first claim, you can be in an EB-1 queue without an H1-B (e.g. OPT or TN [1]). On the second claim, I admit to not knowing someone who is in the queue and in the lottery but they’re on TN, preparing materials for an EB-1 and applying for an H1-B. My understanding was that they’d apply for both concurrently (due to the EB queue period), but I have no references to back me up.
