I don’t think the original point being made was that NYT wasn’t justified in bringing the action. The point that was being made was the suit would be ultimately meaningless in the long term even if it was successful in the short term. There is a potentially more significant risk in the future that this suit will not protect against because of the reasons enumerated by the author. While the author is speculating, the law struggles with technology and adapting to change, which makes their prediction useful because it does highlight the problems that are coming that can’t be readily mitigated through legal precedent.
Why "even C#"? Nowadays we often can trade blows with LLVM and GCC :)
It is not bad but it is not open source and is closer to proprietary software. Even Windows is source an available with the proper NDAs.

And it does remove a freedom from the user, that of paying someone else to host and run the software on their behalf.

This seems like the software version of inkjets, sell the printer for free and make money on consumables while locking in their users to buy from them. In this way, “Source Available” gives away the software but locks the user into only being able to use them to host.

And before you say the user can self host, be aware that many times the user may not be a tech company and self-hosting would be too hard for them. That is why many organizations use cloud companies like AWS, etc and forcing the user to not be able to use their host of choice is taking away user freedom.
Not the 64-bit version, surely. They're thinking about shipping a new TUI editor, though.
that is terrible advice for the internet as a whole. cloudflare is too ubiquitous already which comes with a lot of potential danger. In other words: if you can afford not to use cloudflare, please don't.
Your personal opinion on the matter has little weight here.

It doesn't matter what you think you're paying for or should be paying for, the fact of the matter is that you're paying for the effort people put in bringing that to you. So you are, whether you want to be or not.
The difference is that an individual pirating news is simply reading the article. OpenAI intends to digest news articles to the point of packaging them and reselling.

My uncle used to distribute daily newspapers and his saying was "News ages like a fish".

OpenAI is allegedly using NYTimes articles to train a computer and sell its services. I see different use scenarios.

I guess another way to look at it is that human just reads the pirated material. A computer makes a verbatim copy and analyzes it to the point to mimicry and sells fuzzy versions.
On Linux this depends on your theme really, all the themes i use have scrollbars - e.g. here is an example with Gtk3 (which IIRC introduced the "autohiding scrollbars" to Linux desktop)[0]. It is "cdetheme-solaris" which i think is from [1]. I might have modified it a bit though. Though normally i use Gtk2 apps with a modified "cleanlooks" theme (a screenshot from Lazarus[2] i made a couple of days ago shows it - including the scrollbars :-P).

In the screenshot for the article you can see that the LLM says it is "Searching for: carl zimmer article on the oldest DNA". That, and what I know about how LLMs work, suggest to me that rather than the article being stored inside the trained LLM it was instead downloaded in response to the question. So the fact that the system is providing the full text of the article doesn't really go to whether training the LLM is a transformative use or not.
No, he’s a tendentious left-wing political activist, which is an even bigger sign he doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to economics.
There’s a really good article from Spotify Engineering that looks at exactly how Spotify bridged this gap between “random” and the “random” people actually expect.

https://engineering.atspotify.com/2014/02/how-to-shuffle-son...

It a good read on understanding what people generally expect when they ask for a random stream of songs (or comics), and how you can meet that expectation by carefully engineering how you generate “random” lists.
There's a strange dance of IDEs coming and going, with their idiosyncracies and partial plugins.. you still have to invest and devest everytime a new wave comes. Meanwhile emacs is still mostly emacs. I understand the dread emacs can impose on you, from old keybinding cultures and elisp but there's something timeless and freeing in emacs.
This is the kind of insanity I miss from the early internet. Excellent job. Thank you for this.
I believe it's tolerated here based on the site guidelines. I have always thought this was the case because otherwise these posts would all be pay to play which would limit who could participate and turn HN into more of a subscription farm. Maybe the way to make everyone feel ok about it is to disallow links to paywalled content.
Even pure functions are allowed to return error values
Tramp is quite slow though, IMHO, and last I used it Emacs very much expects file access to by synchr.
If this code runs on hundreds of millions of phones and computers, npm seems horrible for the environment! Not only because of runtime, but because we’re talking so much just to host and serve these modules!
That's my metric. A VF display is OK but an LCD, especially on kitchen appliances or white goods, is just about a guarantee of a short life span - never mind a touchscreen.
It’s a little sad, though, that it’s now impressive for a towel to last 3 years. The ones my parents bought in 1986 are still in my rotation for everyday use and holding up better than the set I bought (not cheaply) in 2010, which are starting to look like they need replacement.

1. They knew the child was in danger and capitalized on it instead of focusing on the child themselves

2. Dehumanizing the child, their parents, and basically everyone else

3. Not directly involving the child in their marketing, just using their likeness
That's not what "transformative" means for copyright.

It's more like, is the new work a distinct expression, e.g. satire or commentary, based on the original.

You can reproduce the original verbatim and still be transformative by adding an element of critique.

Ah I suppose if you see an "empty pile" as still a vessel with nothing on/in it, your point stands.

But a plate is its own thing, in addition to what goes on it. A "full plate" is full of what? And a full plate is the plate plus whatever is on it, not just the stuff on it.

I think of a "pile" of stuff as being it's own thing, that being the pile itself. An empty pile is the absence of the thing.

That was my interpretation, but I see what you meant. :)
> In fact, the above code is a perfect example of a time-memory tradeoff

Not as much since the program will take increasingly more time to run as the input number gets higher. Checking if a 'small' number is even or odd will be pretty fast. Checking a 'large' number will be slow since it will go through all 'IFs' until it reaches the result.

It's like O(M/2) average time complexity where 'M' is a constant, the program memory size (number of 'IFs' stored).
You can use a VIM plugin for many IDEs, including IntelliJ.
I remember hearing Apple had to make a "random-seeming to humans" algorithm with the iPod's shuffle feature as well for the same reason. Grabbing a truly random song every play doesn't feel random to humans. What people really want with their song shuffle is something new they haven't played in a while.
Given that Harvard President plagiarized her way into becoming a President, how can we be sure that NYT doesn't plagiarize and take content from X and other places to quickly chrun out daily news?

I consider this a smoking gun for Midjourney's flagrant copyright infringement
So at first ChatGPT will copy journalists. Then journalists will stop working because nobody pays them. Then there will be no news. Some people may look at that situation and decide to start a new news business but that business will fail because ChatGPT will immediately rip it off. The end game is just no news other than volunteers.
There was an article that mentioned that cbrt(n) is worst-case array access, not constant time. They did some benchmarks across the CPU cache/RAM/SSD boundary to show this practically. I can't seem to find it though, where was it?

Edit: found it, https://www.ilikebigbits.com/2014_04_21_myth_of_ram_1.html
Yes. It's a cushy job. Nobody will expect you to singlehandedly reverse white flight or re-industrialize after the nation's largest industry decides to offshore the bulk of its production. All you'll have to deal with is the aftermath.
> But yes, the idea of designing for the fold is from early 2000s (or i guess I should say pre-2010 in my experience) and should stay there.

Oh the irony.

As much I agree with you, you're talking about the collision of content and eyeballs and advertising. Brands insist on getting their juice.
The classic ASS worked for me.
True, and IMHO just highlights my point, which is that PCIe 7.0 has quite insane bandwidth. After all the memory is sitting right next to the CPU, with tons of IO pins to do its work. Meanwhile the PICe device is far away and using only 16 differential pairs.
Yes, and for nonfiction, it's also true that it usually depends on the original article for credibility. (If it were an anonymous poster making up a news story, most people wouldn't believe it.)
According to the link Xs is supported.
As someone who has pretty good hearing loss, I can comfortably say that the reason I finally got some was the ability to stream audiobooks and podcasts.

It needs a dynamic, server side component, regardless of how you choose to design the site.

And if it was to serve a static page, it would also need a client side dynamic component.

So I would probably also have gone with full server side rendering.
I can’t think of a better way to argue in favor of “LLMs are copyright laundering machines” than from the humanness angle.

Humans have rights, software tools don’t.

If you grant an LLM the full set of human rights, then it can consume information, regurgitate copyrighted works, and use it to generate money for itself. However, considering blatantly obvious theft as “homage” goes hand in hand with free will, agency, being in control of yourself, not being enslaved and abused, etc. Pondering various scenarios along those lines really gets to the heart of why an LLM is so very much not a human, and how subjecting it to the same treatment as humans is a ridiculous notion.

If you don’t grant LLM human rights, then ClosedAI’s stance is basically that pirating works is OK because they pass them through a black box of if conditions and it leads to results that they can monetize. That’s such a solid argument, it’ll surely play well in the court of law.

Training data is not an “LLM does it”; first because “it” here is not “learning” or understanding in human sense (otherwise you would have to presume that an LLM is a human), and second because a software tool doesn’t have agency and it’s really just Microsoft using a tool based on copyrighted works to generate profit.

Speak for yourself
I see this a lot, and they very well may be.
But, watch any behind the scenes documentary about any artsy movie and 9 out of 10, the director's will be waxing poetic about their inspirations, often include older movies or paintings which have uncannily similar scenes/frames. So it also wouldn't be shocking if a model trained on the same inspirations as the filmakers generates almost-exact frames as the movie makers.
I haven't played the original, but Lode Runner: The Legend Returns is one of my favorite games of all time. The later levels can be very challenging and I don't remember ever reaching the final stage but it was an addicting experience. You can download a faithful remake of Legend Returns here: https://mmr.quarkrobot.com/. Highly recommended!
Random is random, shuffle is shuffle. They are different things.
Nit, their ratio (bits set/unset) will approach 1 as the count approaches infinity, but the values themselves will not approach equal.

We're talking about small SVG icons. There's no "uncanny valley" to speak of.

I chose a random icon on the website to make a test. I generated the following image with dall-e and vectorized it in a couple of clicks in illustrator. https://i.imgur.com/dXWR0Zf.png Compare it with https://game-icons.net/1x1/delapouite/skimmer-hat.html Can you honestly tell that one is AI-generated and the other isn't? They're obviously of a very different style, but that's simply because that's what I chose out of the 4 options dall-e offered me.
> And if you want to be upvoted/agreed with a lot you should post a cynical view.

Disagree. It's easier to preach to broader audience by repeating what most agree with. Try going into random reddit submission and sort comments by controversial. Guarantee they will be full of cynicism and have scores oscillating around 0 at best.

Because of this I find cynicism more authentic. These people don't mind openly having an opinion that may not be liked by others. Personally these cynical takes challenge my view on something and help me see through tribalism and echo chambers I find myself in
I used my parents 30 year wedding present Maytag as a washing machine. It never really broke I just finally got a new one. I'm sure it was used from 1960 until about 1995.
As someone pointed out, plenty of blogs made money off of doing just that. Many people go to Reddit to read news article summaries (and often a comment just pastes the whole article verbatim), instead of paying a site like the New York Times. Twitter and other social media sites are full of people summarizing articles from the New York Times. Any late breaking news article from Wikipedia is going to be mostly summarizing information from reporters.

I think people severely underestimate how much they've grown accustomed to this information being freely available. It's easy to say "Well it shouldn't be available with ChatGPT," but if we actually put everything back behind a paywall and stopped people from doing things like writing blogs or newsletters that summarize the news, people here would get angry very fast.
And it keeps getting more expensive.

People are calling for small, modular and repeatable nuclear reactors that could theoretically get cheaper with scale.

You know what is is actually small, modular and repeatable and getting cheaper with scale? Solar panels and wind turbines.
embedded systems/firmware where the same code may need to be built for multiple HW platforms/cpu architectures.
There's an argument to be made for writing functions like `isEven` and using them instead of n%2. There's an argument that the JS standard library, or other comprehensive util libraries like Lodash or Underscore should include these functions.

The problem here is introducing separate dependencies for each of these tiny functions. Dependencies are code that you haven't written, but are still your responsibility. For a lot of things, that's a good tradeoff: if you don't have the expertise in a specific area, or if you can offload work to a dependency that you trust, that's great. But for micro dependencies like this, it's usually a bad deal - you don't get anything in return (seriously, how hard is it to write your own isEven function?) but you have to rely on a third party to be secure, to not push anything accidentally broken, to not change the API, etc.

(I think it's also worth pointing out that your wife is not a paid programmer. Software development should be accessible, but this isn't the only goal, and I think it's reasonable to assume that most programmers either understand the n%2 idiom, or know enough to be able to find help on the subject.)
Yes, the Borland TUI was pretty good. But nothing came even close to what we had on the Commodore 64 with the X-Ass Dev Kit. You could code in a nice TUI with syntax highlighting. Press a key to assemble in a split second, execute the program, press reset and be back in the TUI exactly where you left off. And this with source file > 64 kByte, creating executables that occupied the complete memory space of the computer.

> In nearly any big discussion that even remotely involves video streaming there will be numerous posts from people explaining why they pirate (usually with ridiculous justifications like "subscribing is not an option because even though this paid service does exactly what I want now at a price that is trivial for me they might someday later change").

I’ve read and participated in many such threads and I’ve literally never seen this take. Often what I see is complaints about having to learn different UI for different services/apps, no offline, ads injected into paid services, having to figure out which service a show is on, and generally terrible UI you can’t change/fix.

I don’t think I’ve ever really seen someone use the argument “yes it’s great today but they might charge more later”. Not saying people haven’t said that but it’s far from the main thing people say in my experience.
No, in US law at least there can be no copyright of facts, only presentation. If you convey the same facts in different words that isn't a matter of fair use, it's never even a matter of copyright in the first place.
Just some more detail about this.

Reid Southen has been testing out Midjourney V6. He quickly found out that you could easily generate images of Thanos that are direct copies of images from the Avengers films.
https://twitter.com/Rahll/status/1738286342390374882

In response to his and more discoveries like his, Midjourney updated their ToS to place the blame on users for infringing copyright.
https://twitter.com/Rahll/status/1739155446726791470

Reid Southen had all his content erased without permission for his grievous transgression of showing just how easily it is to make copyright infringing material using Midjourney V6. This is after they update their ToS to persecute him and people like him, who are posting this kind of imagery on X.

Would the world be a better place if North Korea had won? Saying it is all/mostly realpolitics etc., does not mean that the outcome was always worse than not fighting or at the very least it isn't easy to make that determination across the board (doesn't excuse bad military action, either).
This is about the browser, not the OS. The unique thing about apple is that they tie the browser to the OS. So you won't even get application updates, which is quite surprising for anyone that has ever touched a computer.

That is some Windows 98 nonsense right there.
I didn't berate you at all, my comment was pointing out the confusing naming of the unlicense. It was pretty obvious that I was being cheeky in my previous comment.
At one point I really thought that this could be the notes/knowledge management tool I needed: the data model looked clean on the surface, everything's an object, objects are typed (Note, Journal Entry, Person, Company, ...), Types are defined by a layout (view) and properties (model), so, if you've spent any amount of time using a RDBMS/ORM/web framework/OOP, it clicks, and brings a ton of clarity and structure compared to the usual suspects (obsidian and Logseq are barely decent trash collecting systems in my rigid expectations, and those tools give me extra work to do to clean things up and maintain consistency instead of helping me organize and plan things).

But where Anytype disappointed me greatly is that this apparent structure is only used when new objects are instantiated: as soon as the base model changes, you are left with the exact same mess to clean as the alternatives. Say, if you define a "Colleague" object type with properties "Department: String" and later on, you want to add a new property "Manager: Person", your pre-existing "Colleague"s will not have nor display this property at all. Sure, you can manually add the property later, but you are SOL when you need to do that for dozens of objects: not only the model isn't inherited from the base class but the view isn't either, and while you go about updating every instance of your model to add missing properties, you get to do a lot of layouting at the same time.

That's especially disappointing because some of Anytype capabilities truly are mind blowing, the real time sync across devices gives a lot of hope for the upcoming collab and publishing features.

If you HN folks have suggestions as to what system would work in my case, please let me know.

No.

This is what happens when one of a dozen press releases I get every day, all containing loads of hype, has a few buzzwords I recognise from pre-Windows pre-Mac pre-Lisa tech.

I asked the PR person some questions. They had no idea at all. So, they put me in touch with the CTO, I asked him the questions, and realised this was something huge and complicated. We had a video chat, he absolutely blew my mind with some of the demos, and I tried to boil it down into a relatively short article.

I guess I boiled it down too much if it came over like syrup. :-(
I think the more interesting part is which heights are interesting to keep in mind.

The below 900 ones are somewhat obvious as they also match smartphone sizes, but I was surprised to see very little common border above that. In particular anything above 2000 seems pretty rare.

These small examples are extremely frustrating as a tax payer. What is the solution to these examples, or does one just try to ignore it as a price of living in that society?
The writing is impacted by ideology, though. When the writers consistently present victim-as-hero narrative you get bad writing. When the only morality shown is oppressor-oppressed dichotomies the story doesn't hold up.

The other part is how these ideologies led the writers and showrunners to "deconstruct" characters the audience loved: Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Nick Fury, Luke Skywalker... All of them were retconned to be "stupid old man" who had to be gotten out of the way. Not because it served the story, but because it served the ideology.

The bad writing didn't come from no where.
