obviously if Amazon sold something that damaged someone it would be grounds for suit under tort law, in which case the sky's the limit, and guessing the easy to find details of their behavior over the years any American jury would punish them.

Not entirely sure why you wrote this, it does not invalidate what I said ("Private business or publicly owned spaces, people do have access to it, unless asked to leave").

More details here: https://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/access-private-property

For this conversation, it does not matter. Everyone is free to enter the salon (there is no guard at the door, there is no entry fee, there is no key access, etc..) until asked to leave.

I agree. One has the possibility of killing a person in a couple of years, another one can kill a person on the spot.

Powder – Classic GPL Roguelike
I don’t think Amazon should have any protections for being a marketplace. Especially since we all found out about co-mingling, and how reviews are transferable between vendors and sometimes between products.

They should be liable for any damages caused by these drugs, as well as patent/copyright/trademark infringement for any counterfeit products.

I don’t feel the same for ebay, reverb, or facebook. I’m not sure where the line should be, but I’m certain Amazon crossed it. Plus their business model infected Newegg and even Walmart, and who knows how many others, it just needs to stop.

Maybe it should be that either you’re a retailer or a marketplace, but never both? I don’t know the answer but it sucks and has sucked for a long time, and im too lazy to stop using it so i guess im part of the problem.

Sorry. HN comments is a narrow channel and so I elected not to try to squeeze a full-blown actual solution through it.

> I could say the only thing you need for the DSL to SQL solution is a programming language, my list would be one item

Well...I enumerated the features of the language I'm using just as you could enumerate the features of your programming language. My list could have one item just as easily as yours can: "PostgreSQL DDL"

> how to test this is a valid question as well

My answer to that question has been to use pgTAP for testing and postgresql_faker to generate synthetic data

https://pgtap.org/

https://gitlab.com/dalibo/postgresql_faker

> My tests also don't require a database to with data in it to test

No, but they do require a runtime, be it in Scala or whatever. That's no different from my case where my test runtime is an ephemeral PostgreSQL database.

You bet.

> Does every table need to have some sort of user id in it directly for that to work?

It's common for single-database multi-tenant data models to add something like a "tenant_id" to every table. It's simple, more efficient, and more foolproof. You can however just join to other tables in the policy condition as I have done. Extra care should be taken as discussed in the PostgreSQL docs:

> it just stores information about their likelihood of being used together

I mean this is still a link, no?

Like, sure, it is a probability. But if each of those probabilities is like 99.9999% likely to get you to a chain of outputs that verbatim reproduces the copyrighted text given the right prompt, isn't that still the same thing?

And yeah, it hallucinating that the NYT published an article stating something it didn't say is concerning as well. If the model started telling everyone Matticus_Rex is a criminal and committed all these crimes and started listing off hallucinated court cases and news articles proving such things that would be quite damaging to your reputation, wouldn't it? The model hallucinating the NYT publishing an article talking about how the moon landing was fake or something would be damaging to its reputation right?

And this idea it takes "very careful prompting" is at odds with the examples from the suit and elsewhere. One example Ars Technica tried was "please provide me with the first paragraph of the carl zimmer article on the oldest DNA", which it reproduced verbatim. Is this really some kind of extremely well crafted and rare to ever come up prompt?
My first java IDE was Visual Cafe by Symantec 1999 - and if I remember correctly I started using IDEA around 2002 (and still do - incl. Rider, etc).
I gave VSC a shot. It's the stupidest thing, but I just can't get over how the side bar (not the file explorer, but the little activity bar that you can open the file explorer/plugin menu/etc from) keeps re-appearing every time I open certain things. I know it's petty, but I can't get over it.

I was able to, mostly, get things to work the way I wanted in it, but that ended up meaning I turned it into basically my vim setup.

I've moved to jetbrains products at work. Same story there, I basically turned it into vim, and hid all the sidebars (but it does let me do this). Mostly I'm using it for the debugger, the jetbrains debugger is legit.

Still use (n)vim at home a lot, especially for anything that doesn't have a dedicated jetbrains ide.

Other than that, the only thing I've really had problems with is that graphical editors all seem to think in terms of files instead of buffers, and there's no equivalent to vinegar. I think that really throws me the most.
What about FX File Explorer?

The original Firefox sync did this "right" (from a privacy and encryption perspective) but required user out-of-band transfer of key material to add a new device. Apparently this was too difficult for users, so they dropped it in favour of "user accounts" with passwords instead.
What flying club are you in that’s getting a jet? That’s something that I’d never expected to see (mostly from an insurance angle).

Indeed, never looked back after trying FX.
With that in mind, isn’t the legal burden on the model output rather than the model weights and training?

An artist has the capability to reproduce something copyrighted, but that’s generally only a problem if they try to sell that reproduction.

In that regard, Midjourney probably is in violation of copyright because they profited from making a close reproduction of an existing work. But a solo person running Stable Diffusion locally probably isn’t, even if they made the same output.

Well, photonics are mostly useful for communication and SIMD computation, so this one is inevitable.
Since the main topic of this article is sync, does any browser or extension out there support syncing active tabs withing the browsing window, rather than putting them in a separate "recent tabs" menu? In other words, mirroring the entire browsing session across devices (ideally preserving tab order).
Its language, laws, political system, and to a great extent its culture are British.

This is ahistorical enough to have been inaccurate at the end of the 18th century when Canada and the US were barely in their larval stages. The perceived cultural and systemic distinctions were already invoked for propaganda purposes even then, curiously mirroring US/Canada tropes to this day:

By delivering abundant food with a paternalistic flair, the British sought to strengthen loyalty in Canada. Lord Grenville assured Dorchester that the aid would impress “the minds of His Majesty’s Subjects under your Lordship’s Government with a just sense of His Majesty’s paternal regard for the welfare of all his People.” In 1791 the Crown canceled that debt with a flourish meant to contrast British benevolence with the crass commercialism of the republic. Upon arriving in Canada, the king’s son, Prince Edward, announced: “My father is not a merchant to deal in bread and ask payment for food granted for the relief of his loyal subjects.” By contrast, in the republic, the bread merchants ruled and imprinted their names on their towns. In the Mohawk Valley, the people renamed one town as Paris, not after the French metropolis, but to honor Isaac Paris, a merchant and miller who had loaned them food in 1789. The British promoted a Canadian identity framed in contrast with the republic, understood as an amoral land of greedy competition where demagogues flattered the common folk but exploited the poor among them.

That's cool, I didn't know you were most programmers.
The one-at-a-time UX is too slow I think. I'd rather see N words at a time and select the ones I don't know.

I'm also not sure how to use this tool in a learning workflow since you have to be able to copy and paste a bunch of text. I guess the use-case is when you're reading articles online on a desktop device, but as you read the article you can already pinpoint the words that you don't know, yet this tool makes you paste the text back into the tool and reconsume all the words again.

A better version of this tool might be a browser plugin that lets you click words as you read content online and add to a vocab list. This way as you practice reading social media or news in Spanish online, you can accumulate words and then do something with them. Maybe export Anki cards or whatever it was that you had planned.
> To keep things simple, let's say I never regurgitate chunks of verbatim NYT articles, maybe quite short snippets.

You just described Google. When you think about it, it's surprising that Google is legal. However, it is well established that what Google does is perfectly legal. Remember that internally Google keeps and uses complete verbatim copies of every web page they index.

Yes, Google offers a link to the source. If OpenAI did the same, even if only 0.1% of people clicked on the links and NYTimes hardly got any revenue from it, would that make it legal in your eyes? What if they implemented a system that detected when it was outputting a verbatim copy of something and simply paraphrased it? NYTimes clearly doesn't have copyright on paraphrased versions of their articles. I think it would be pretty silly if the government forced them to do that as it wouldn't make any practical difference to anyone.
Newspapers generally don't "pass off" quotes as their own writing. They make clear which parts they quoted.
I forget if it were a MS or Borland thing, but I recall some of these DOS IDEs having an "expert mode" feature in the menus where you'd get, by default, only the most useful features, but could then turn on all the menu features by enabling said expert mode. Anyone remember this? Some tools (VS Code..) could sorely do with this today, I feel.
If they're hard paywalled (everyone gets the same login prompt), they won't be available on archive sites.

No, the opposite. I'm suggesting they are due to low iodine intake.
Maybe Gemini could use some lightweight markup language. Shit it could be a form of hypertext. Maybe it could be called something like "hypertext markup language". Then clients could still decide how to render the page but there could be clear links between documents and sites.

Nah, that probably will never work.

You can say the same for any legal enforcement like respecting patent or copyright law or making Champagne outside France. Yet the sky isn’t falling given this reality with so many legally protected industries. Maybe these markets where such an industry might offshore to are too small and insular to be very significant, and are probably language bound to make english models less relevant compared to native language models.
IMO, there's a couple things going on there.

First, grocery stores work on a 3% margin, so if they have a ton of returns on something, it costs them a ton of money from credit card fees and wages, and possibly from losing the cost of some portion of the product.

Second, grocery stores have limited space and are picky about what they'll put in their store. They want quality goods that will sell well, and they don't want to cannibalize other products that would make them more money. So random supplements don't find their way to their shelves.

I don't really know the details, but I assume chromatography can detect meth no problem, so I assume that's not the problem with the story. The skepticism on GP's part is mostly that the meth was consumed unwittingly; perhaps that's just the story the players tell. But it seems plausible at least.
Disney is in such a different place politically now than it used to be that they didn't even bother trying to get copyright extended again, which is something they used to be able to get with ease. If IP rights are going to be expanded to be restrictive against big tech, someone other than Disney is going to have to lead the charge.
Isn't the fundamental issue here that the NYT was available in Common Crawl?

If they didn't want to share their content, why did they allow it to be scraped?

If they did want to share their content, why do they care (hint: $88 billion)?

Or is it that they wanted to share their content with Google and other search engines in order to bring in readers but now that an AI was trained on it they are angry?

What wrong thing did OpenAI do specific to using Common Crawl?

Didn't most companies use Common Crawl? Excepting Google, who had already scraped the whole damn Internet anyway and just used their search index?

Is it legal or not to scrape the web?

If I scrape the web, is it legal to train a transformer on it? Why or why not?

To me, this is an incredibly open-and-shut case. You put something on the web, people will read that something. If that is illegal, Google is illegal.

Oh, and do you see the part in the article where they are butthurt that it can reproduce the NYT style?

> "Defendants’ GenAI tools can generate output that recites Times content verbatim, closely summarizes it, and mimics its expressive style, as demonstrated by scores of examples," the suit alleges.

Mimics its expressive style. Oh golly the robots can write like they're smug NYT reporters now--better sue!

It appears that the NYT changed their terms of service in August to disallow their content in Common Crawl[0]. Wasn't GPT-4 trained far before August?

From a licensing point of view, what actually is the difference between FOSS and SAMS?
Curious, I read the linked transcript to find:

"My third remark introduces you to the Buxton Index, so named after its inventor, Professor John Buxton, at the time at Warwick University. The Buxton Index of an entity, i.e. person or organization, is defined as the length of the period, measured in years, over which the entity makes its plans. For the little grocery shop around the corner it is about 1/2,for the true Christian it is infinity, and for most other entities it is in between: about 4 for the average politician who aims at his re-election, slightly more for most industries, but much less for the managers who have to write quarterly reports. The Buxton Index is an important concept because close co-operation between entities with very different Buxton Indices invariably fails and leads to moral complaints about the partner. The party with the smaller Buxton Index is accused of being superficial and short-sighted, while the party with the larger Buxton Index is accused of neglect of duty, of backing out of its responsibility, of freewheeling, etc.. In addition, each party accuses the other one of being stupid. The great advantage of the Buxton Index is that, as a simple numerical notion, it is morally neutral and lifts the difference above the plane of moral concerns. The Buxton Index is important to bear in mind when considering academic/industrial co-operation."

Rent seeking is an awful term that was from the beginning intended to describe anyone pursing a political or legal goal that deviates from a pure free market economy. As Econlib writes:

> ”Rent seeking” is one of the most important insights in the last fifty years of economics and, unfortunately, one of the most inappropriately labeled. Gordon Tullock originated the idea in 1967, and Anne Krueger introduced the label in 1974. The idea is simple but powerful. People are said to seek rents when they try to obtain benefits for themselves through the political arena. They typically do so by getting a subsidy for a good they produce or for being in a particular class of people, by getting a tariff on a good they produce, or by getting a special regulation that hampers their competitors. Elderly people, for example, often seek higher Social Security payments; steel producers often seek restrictions on imports of steel; and licensed electricians and doctors often lobby to keep regulations in place that restrict competition from unlicensed electricians or doctors.
