Which models have a titanium skid plate? Model 3s have a "skid plate" made out of cardboard. A quick search doesn't reveal what other models use.

And, frankly, I ask partially because a titanium skid plate would be ungodly expensive for my motorcycle, let alone something big enough to cover a Tesla battery pack.
In your analogy, AI would be the videotape, not the person, because OpenAI is selling access to it.
If it’s found that the use of the material is infringing on the rights of the copyright holder than the AI company has to retrain their model without any material they don’t have a right to. Pretty clear to me

A box of Fiasp or Levemir insulin costs $477-$560.

The better insulins cost more.

If I give myself the $24.88 WalMart insulin, I can not eat lunch at my regular time and then have to eat in the middle if class. (Assuming I had a high blood sugar reading going into lunch and gave myself R an hour before lunch.)

If I can afford the Fiasp, I can go ahead and eat at my regular time. It's just expensive.
The condition has been described since Roman times, but not only in Switzerland. The problem also exists in other regions in the Alps and other mountain chains across the world.
Yeah, I struggle with this conceptually. Projects like Kubernetes cannot be developed without corporations investing their engineers time. For that, they want a say in direction - maybe more fairly put, they want their problems and objectives on the table whether it benefits the project or not. Just reading the top 10 contributors to Kubernetes:

- Google

- Microsoft

- AWS

- Databricks

Most all of these companies have at one point or another coopted a project, sucked its life blood dry for their own means, and abandoned it. It's a weird, toxic relationship that we accept as normal because some projects can't do without corporate engineer time and money.

FOSS is kind of a different ballgame though. When I think of FOSS I think of my AppStore on PopOS; the apps there are sophisticated and useable, but if I'm being honest they're rarely "the best" at what they do. There's never been a FOSS CAD software that rivals proprietary alternatives, the email clients are lackluster at best, even IRC tends to take a back seat. That isn't to say the apps are bad, they're just not going to be "the best" usually.

Ideally we'd have a single license that encourages corporate use, adoption, and contribution but doesn't encourage them to coopt a project by injecting their engineers and interests into the management of said projects. Ideally there'd be a way for corporate interests to make money reselling software while also paying back, in proportion, to the project. That all seems like a very complicated balancing act.
Yep, why would they drop it? It’s especially egregious as Apple disregards its own human interface guidelines to make green bubbles excessively low-contrast. Very intentional.

And they will likely succeed. In addition to this appeal to the Federal Circuit, which has the potential to pause the import ban for over a year if the stay is extended, Apple is also submitting a proposed software redesign to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

U.S. Customs will decide on January 12th whether the redesign is sufficient, and if it is sufficient Apple can continue its imports. Maismo would then need to head back to the ITC to argue that the software redesign still infringes their patents. That could easily take another year.

If Apple succeeds in either way, they will be able to draw out the litigation long enough for a full hardware redesign in the Apple Watch 10.
> When I try to tell patients that "I don't know", they're frustrated with me. And frequently, it's the patients that are mad that I don't have a pill or procedure that can fix it immediately.

One of my best experiences with a doctor was when he told me he believed my symptoms were real, but he didn’t know what caused them. After being told I was healthy repeatedly even though I had very real symptoms, just being believed was a relief.

Different patients want different things. Some want a quick fix. I don’t. I want to get to the bottom of it. Maybe try to ask some questions up front to gauge which type of person they are, so you can know how to give them bad news?

The other problem I was referring to was not that doctors like diseases that they can treat. That’s a misrepresentation of what I said. I was talking about how they seem to only like diseases with a VERY clear-cut diagnosis and standard treatment, where they can run one test, then write a prescription and solve the problem. Boom. Next! But anything that’s slightly more complex than that or has any grey area, and they don’t have the patience or mindset to troubleshoot the problem.

As a software engineer, I find doctors’ lack of curiosity very difficult to deal with. You get the strong sense that they’re just looking up a flow chart, but when things don’t fit the flow chart they have no method for dealing with that uncertainty, so they give up. I guess part of the problem is that easy fixes are the only thing that can fit into a twenty minute visit. Seems like there’s no time to be curious.

I don’t expect miracles. I know that modern medicine still doesn’t have anything close to all the answers. I suppose I just want doctors to get more comfortable with uncertainty and learn how to manage that uncertainty better. Don’t act certain about things they can’t be certain about, and be more curious when the patient in front of them doesn’t fit the diagnostic flow chart.

I understand that you’re all in a difficult situation though. Dealing with insurance B.S., difficult patients, legal risks, hundreds of thousands of dollars in school loans… I don’t envy you at all. But I can’t act like the current situation is working. It’s not.
To add some anecdata to your story, I looked up a job on Masimo's site when this story first came out. $190k for a senior algo/signal processing programmer - PhD preferred - in CA. Masimo had no hope when big-tech turned their focus towards these types of programmers.

And in today's world where reversing a product is pretty much a guarantee if the product is something anyone wants, the secret won't be kept for too long. (shhh, everyone's secret sauce is pretty much thousand island) Once the secret is out, anyone that wants to will copy it and now there's no protection.

Now I'm worried I might be remembering works of fiction, but I'm sure I've read of two cases…

The first was an emergency landing, an airfield was seen and after landing it turned out to be fake.

The second was curiosity, an airfield visible from the air, not marked on any charts, they went down and again it turned out to be fake.

But neither is showing up on DDG, so perhaps this is like the time I was fooled by the story of the medieval Mandelbrot set…
Really? Because the GPT-3 paper talks about "...two internet-based books corpora

I have deeply mixed feelings about the way LLMs slurp up copyrighted content and regurgitate it as something "new." As a software developer who has dabbled in machine learning, it is exciting to see the field progress. But I am also an author with a large catalog of writings, and my work has been captured by at least one LLM (according to a tool that can allegedly detect these things).

Overall, current LLMs remind me of those bottom-feeder websites that do no original research--those sites that just find an article they like, lazily rewrite it, introduce a few errors, then maybe paste some baloney "sources" (which always seems to disinclude the actual original source). That mode of operation tends to be technically legal, but it's parasitic and lazy and doesn't add much value to the world.

All that aside, I tend to agree with the hypothesis that LLMs are a fad that will mostly pass. For professionals, it is really hard to get past hallucinations and the lack of citations. Imagine being a perpetual fact-checker for a very unreliable author. And laymen will probably mostly use LLMs to generate low-effort content for SEO, which will inevitably degrade the quality of the same LLMs as they breed with their own offspring. "Regression to mediocrity," as Galton put it.
As for the idea itself, I believe there IS a recipe for doing this right:

- Role Based Access Permissions (RBAC) for course-grained control over database objects (tables, procedures, etc.)

- Row Level Security (RLS) for fine-grained control over data items (e.g. multinenant)

For correctness:

- custom data types

- custom domains

- check constraints

- triggers

- procedures

For loose coupling:

- views

- procedures

For QoS:

- quotas (timeouts, row limits, data limits)

That gets you most of the way there. You would still want a connection pooler and a rate limiter, of course, outside the DB.

All you're doing is repeating the fact. OP's point was, bluntly, "the situation is dumb".

I happen to agree on that one. What is the benefit of copyrighting the Eiffel Tower? The purpose of copyright is not to say you can always make money off of what you created. It is to incentivize the creation of new things by allowing you to exclusively make money off of it for a while before its benefits can go to broader society.

So what is the purpose of copyrighting the Eiffel tower? Would it not have been made if copyright wasn't in place? (obviously it would have because it was and the law wasn't in place yet). Second the claim is that the copyright is on the "lighting design" visible at night. Is the lighting design of the tower so unique that no-one else could come up with it? or is the lighting design necessitated by the structure of the tower itself?

I'd say given the structure of the tower which restricts the lights, there is nothing sufficiently remotely unique or different to warrant copyright of the lighting design. Almost any design on that tower would look about the same.

So how is society benefiting from copyrighting that lighting design?

Exclusivity deals are almost always a net loss for society. Which is why whenever you see one you should be questioning if it should be in place. Exclusive contracts are anti free-market. Now there are absolutely valid places where they are justified and should be in place - but they should be questioned by default.
YouTube is still based on copyright violation but there is no way to stop it so publishers play ball. There is no way music companies would allow their stuff on there for so cheap if they could stop it.
Patent law is convoluted sometimes, but that seems like a somewhat charitable description of pretty blatant patent infringement.

> it had gathered a reputation of being brittle and difficult to work with.

For the most part… NO.

At least 98+% of the cases I have seen of developers getting frustrated over the “limitations” and “warts” of CSS has boiled down to a lack of understanding of the cascade; a fundamental feature of CSS that IMO produces nearly all of the frustrations that un-/under-skilled devs run into.

If CSS is being inconsistent, you need to look at the cascade from both ends: from how CSS applies it’s styling, and from how HTML is assembling the content (which can also break the cascade). One way or the other, the problem is nearly always an issue of implementation.

That's certainly all true, and not just parents shielding you from bad stuff, but the bad stuff just not appearing on the TV or in the newspaper the way it will today on TV or internet. If it was going on then nobody was aware of it, and maybe not a bad thing. Is my life really better for reading about some teenage cartel hitman making human "stew" etc ?

But I do think that perhaps the 70's was a somewhat more decent time than today. Lines have been crossed and levels of violence normalized that it seems really didn't exist back then, or certainly were not as widespread. e.g. I grew up with the IRA constantly in the news - often bombings in the UK as well as violence in Northern Ireland. But, by today's standard the IRA's terrorism was almost quaint and gentlemanly ... they'd plant a bomb, but then call it into the police and/or media so that people could be evacuated - they still created terror/disruption which realistically probably did help them achieve their goals, but without the level of ultra violence and complete disregard for human life that we see today, such as ISIS beheadings posted on FaceBook or Twitter that some people happily watch and forward to their friends, or the 9/11 attack which was really inconceivable beforehand.
The case for copyright is exactly the opposite: the form of content (the precise way the NYT writers presented it) is protected. The ideas therein, the actual news story, is very much not protected at all. You can freely and legally read an NYT article hot off the press and go on air on Fox News and recount it, as long as you're not copying their exact words. Even if the news turns out to be entirely fake and invented by the NYT to catch you leaking their stuff, you still have every right to present the information therein.

This isn't even "fair use". The ideas in a work are simply not protected by copyright, only the form is.

By "SETI" I assume you mean the SETI@Home distributed computing project.

There's a two-way market where you can rent out your GPU here: https://vast.ai/ If you want to donate your GPU you could set your price to $0.00 I guess.

Yandex and Hugging Face trained a couple nets using distributed GPUs. Their lessons learned paper is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.10207 Takeaway: using consumer GPUs on the other end of consumer internet connections means you end up very I/O limited. 50 megabit upload on a cable modem doesn't compare well with 50000 megabit NVswitch links in a proper GPU cluster. As far as I can tell they are no longer doing distributed training.

And it's widely assumed the big nets are trained on copyrighted material through libgen and scihub. So if your question is "is there an open source net that's trained on pirated books" the answer is "Yes, and it's called Llama/Mistral/Falcon etc etc"

Second on all of Dan Carlin's podcasts. I absolutely loved his World War I series called "Blueprint for Armageddon". Even though I listened to quite a few of them while they were free, I recently bought the whole back catalog from his website and have been working through them. Absolute gem and worth every penny. For anyone not familiar, he makes the most recent episodes "free" (he does ask for a standard donation of $1 per episode, but they are not paywalled) through the standard RSS feed, and monetizes by selling the older episodes through his website. Probably the best podcast series I've ever listened to. Recommend listening to the newer free episodes, and if you like it then go through the back catalog.
Depends on what you mean by excellent. It sucks by definition since it doesn't have generics. It's efficient though which in some sense makes it excellent.
The Victor Hugo quote in the article was from 1839. Biologically speaking, this must have always been an issue. The iodine had washed away from the area long before human settlement. Before modern medicine, it would have been difficult to collect the data and even establish the pattern. People did not travel much in pre-modern times and many of these mountain villages would receive highly educated visitors very infrequently. They may have been barely aware that their situation was anything other than normal. The world was beset with maladies and this was just one medical mystery among all the others. In 1875, life expectancy in Switzerland was just 38, so life must have been harsher than any modern person can imagine.
