> Companies are allowed to train on copyrighted works

I’m curious what you mean by this. If I’m not allowed under copyright law to make a personal copy of the latest Pixar movie or watch it without permission or payment, even if I’m not sharing it with anyone else, what under the law allows a company to make a copy and train on it? I thought I understood copyright law to not only prohibit redistribution of copyrighted works without permission, but also to prohibit consumption of copyrighted works without permission? Is that accurate? In that sense, I would have thought copyright law does prohibit companies from training on copyrighted works.
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer Manuals

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t...

Before the internet, Intel used to distribute these manuals in hard-copy for free. One just had to drop by your local Intel sales office to pick up a copy. A good solid foot of shelf-space.

These manuals used to be so much easier to read back in the 486/Pentium era. One could almost build a complete mental model of how a 486 worked, and how to manually optimize code to best effect by avoiding processor stalls.

Since then, intel processors have accumulated an extraordinary amount of cruft, so it becomes much harder to develop a complete mental model. Compilers have also gotten a lot more clever as well, in order to deal with the added complexity of SIMD instruction sets.

For those of us who started with the 8086 Architecture manuals, each generation of processors added additional features which one learned by occasionally revisiting the architecture manuals for new processors.

Coming to the Architecture manuals without having the foundation of previous Architecture manuals as a basis must be a daunting task. But I'm sure there's rich material there anyway.
Moving single functions or groups of lines (like extracting something common into a function) I'd say is more common than even that, and this same functionality tracks those changes across files too.
That’s a good point, it’s the absolute numbers that give a bad impression. I think the main thing tainting my feeling about the whole situation is TikTok/Reels/Shorts content. Feels like the sort of video I like just can’t exist in that sort of format, and it’s a pretty over-emphasized format currently. (at least in the YouTube app)

still though, so many cool and interesting things to learn online from interesting folks! :)
the Sheevaplug, Guruplug, and Dreamplug are what really got me into embedded computing and linux. I still have my Sheevaplug in storage, and a Dreamplug in service as my internal DNS server. the Marvell Kirkwood SoCs they were based on were quite long lived, eventually being rebranded as lower-end Armada chipsets.

P.S. if anyone wants to tinker with that ecosystem, there's still quite a number of people dedicated to packaging up Debian for them, and if you're okay with some soldering to get UART access, you can get a brand new $18 Dell Kace M300 to try out. in a lot of ways, I still prefer them to any newer single-board computers, despite my pretty significant collection at this point.
This is the same thing that has been said umpteen times before. It's code for "Just wait, foolish Westerners. If either Ukraine loses support because COTUS lunatics can't grok geopolitics or stromgman-loving, Kremlin-owned Trump becomes POTUS because of Ruth Bader Biden, we're going full Wolf Warrior and will take Taiwan by force. What do you think those 3 islands were for in the South China Sea? [Evil laugh here]"
Yeah this makes sense to me. He covered interesting and unique topics, and posted about them on a regular basis. That's extremely difficult to do in any medium, let alone something like video where filming and editing demands are significantly higher and a well researched piece just takes far longer to put together.
True, but at least as a merchant you’re no longer discriminating and being neutral instead. Also, the bank may have access to stronger identifiers and completely ignore your VPN usage.
I feel like that's not a good analogy either; it's not like there was a flood of AI-generated garbage on these forums for the past fifteen years; it's not like a person discovering that they've been chatting exclusively with bots, not humans, for the past decade.

I think these forums are going to discover that a different, more stringent kind of moderation is needed now that doing this kind of shit is cheap. I guess maybe it's more like you've been living your house happily for 15 years, but with the change in climate, suddenly your house is full of a kind of rodent that hasn't been able to survive in your region, and you're just shoveling out buckets of rodent poop every day, and trying to figure out what kind of traps to set out to stop them from coming in.

(Except the rodents aren't just appearing naturally; your neighbor started a rodent breeding farm, and is releasing them into your house so they don't have to pay for extra food or space, and is selling them for a profit while your house gets slowly filled up with rat shit.)

It's misleading to describe UTF-8 as "the most fundamental encoding", because of the existence of UTF-32 (essentially just a trivial encoding of "raw" Unicode code points) and UTF-16 (which has certain limitations that later became part of the specification of what code points are valid in any encoding)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16#U+D800_to_U+DFFF_(surro...

UTF-8 is the most ubiquitous encoding on the web, but that doesn't make it more fundamental than any other.

The piece does have history. When "zip coon" was written, "coon" was used to describe Whigs (american politicians, ergo white men). It wasn't a slur for another decade or two.

But then that overt racist version? It came out in 1916, and Columbia continued promoting the song until 1925 -- three years before Steamboat Willy came out. Those "minstrel vibes" aren't just vibes. Minstrel shows were big money at that time in history, and the use of Turkey in the Straw is part and parcel. What lyrics were the audience at the time most familiar with? That seems much more relevant than the original lyrics.
He's had a few "mainstream" people on as guests. Professor Hannah Fry is one guest who's a pretty established broadcaster (in the UK at least).
Ah, thank you. Guess that's OK that the company/service do whatever they want, the paper/technique doesn't involve watermarks, so it'd be easy to remove/modify whatever they do in the library/service itself.
Barcelona's 2008-2012 and 2014-2017 teams would probably disagree - they were built around Messi being able to do whatever he wanted, wherever he wanted....including going on an unbothered stroll for as long as he wanted, whenever he wanted. His whole MO is that he has the unique ability to flip a switch from walking around aimlessly to getting the ball and tearing an entire midfield and defense to shreds in the blink of an eye.

I think they did pretty well, didn't they win a few big titles?

One thing I always wondered is how the hardware that compares the N computer’s output (and fails it silent if one has a different result) is itself hardened.

Failure of that I imagine would be catastrophic.
Note that Bulk DNS Records are a very affordable service. I don't know if Shodan throws those in, it may not, but if your attacker isn't a bored teenager who took a momentary interest they absolutely do have those records. If you can afford Netflix you can afford to subscribe to that data from a reputable supplier.

The way they're obtained is, if you operate a huge public DNS service, you collect the set of answers you saw, with timestamps but no PII, and you just sell that. If you take this data from a handful of the biggest DNS services you've got maybe 95% coverage of everything out there.

Sure 99% of users of hr.big-bank.example will be Big Bank employeees at work with local DNS, but 1% is people who are at home, or off-site or whatever and maybe it doesn't even work without VPN, but someone will click it by accident and so it gets collected.

Do you make your own bread and stock and pasta?
Sucrose is 50/50 fructose and glucose. As in each molecule of sucrose is one of fructose and one of glucose stuck together. All three of those things are sugars.

Fructose is usually considered healthier than sucrose or glucose - the whole "natural fruit sugars are OK" premise - though that seems likely to be nonsense given it's immediately and easily converted to glucose after you eat it. I don't know of any argument that says it's poisonous, or in any sense worse than glucose. That also seems unlikely to be true for the same reason - it's immediately converted to glucose.

(replies suggest my recollection of fructose being metabolised by trivial conversion to glucose followed by the usual glucose pathway is incorrect, interesting)

It's not about the cost of transcoding; it's an ideological stance about open / royalty-free formats.

I think setting a timer for every 15 miunutes is the perfect way to destroy your productivity, especially for when doing deep thinking type of work. I use the Pomodoro technique if I am unfocused and cannot make a start, which happens on occasion, but once I'm going, I turn that timer off.
I love this paper. It reads very much like "this is what we did, and we want to help others do it too." Also, the section "Remark on Novelty" is golden: "OpenVoice does not intend to invent the submodules in the model structure ... The contribution of OpenVoice is the decoupled framework that seperates
the voice style and language control from the tone color cloning." They don't try to hype up their contribution.
From your own example, here is the text from https://vuejs.org/ as of today:

> The Progressive JavaScript Framework

> An approachable, performant and versatile framework for building web user interfaces.

> Approachable - Builds on top of standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript with intuitive API and world-class documentation.

> Performant - Truly reactive, compiler-optimized rendering system that rarely requires manual optimization.

> Versatile - A rich, incrementally adoptable ecosystem that scales between a library and a full-featured framework.

Yes, performance is mentioned. But it's hardly the main selling point, and they don't even mention DOM manipulation, they're talking about the rendering in general.

Lit isn't even a framework, it's a "web components library".

> all modern frameworks

Yeah, "all modern frameworks" being one framework + one library?
You don't know what voice cloning is and what it can be used for? These people made it even easier to do. That's their achievement. Facilitating fraud, confusion and distrust.

Over the break I was thinking a lot about C.S. Lewis an his issekai Christianity as well as the alternate-world Christmas of Terry Prachett’s Hogfather so I was really in the right mood when Jehovah’s Witnesses came to my door.

They led with the question of “Do you think God made a mistake when he created the world?”. I thought about it really hard and answered “I could make the case either way.”

Where does evil come from? My answer is that “Well you try to push a fluid in a certain direction and it goes sideways and swirls…” (must have been a dynamicist in a past life)

Where we really differed from them the most I think was their insistence that humans are completely different from a spiritual viewpoint than animals which I’d reject completely because my experience with cats and dogs and horses is that animals seem very much to have a moral sense and to feel bad when they fail to match expectations. The first time I fell off a horse it seemed the horse felt a lot worse about it than I did and she seemed exceptionally contrite.

Sure people do have languages, beavers are never going to figure out that they could make much bigger dams with concrete, but animals do appear to have moral feelings which is consistent with the Buddhist idea that animals are subject to the law of karma, you can reincarnate as animal, etc.

Anyone who rivals Xi in any capacity is a threat to be humiliated, humbled, and/or disappeared. Such a backwards, totalitarian attitude will footgun China's ascent and push Chinese entrepreneurs and braintrust to relocate to one of many other stable societies.
>According to the Apple co-founder, the best employees are also a pain in the butt to manage.

Said to me by every single manager, for the reasons of not following a faulty process (a one that I even suggested to fix) or attending the usual silly and useless meetings and always thought it’s a “me-problem” for being “anti-authority” despite over delivering every requirement with a very happy clients we had in a very short period of time, I’m glad someone somewhere agreed with me for once, nice article. The question is, how do you communicate that in the hiring process to eliminate any potential management style that will cause a headache for both of you later, do you just say I’m pain to manage?
What if every year started on the first day of a week?
I agree such patterns are indicative of systemic issues. In my experiences, those process issues emit their own structured behavioral patterns. In your example, the "." commit is now a convention that indicates a specific process happened. I am not certain what the costs of fixing the root problem are, though I'd anticipate they could be expensive and difficult at this point given the time commitment to restructure the repo and automate the scss=>css. Whereas the expense of an esoteric "." commit appears relatively cheap given the need of a human to untangle the mess which cannot be automated away (without a redesign).

but, but, but ... they are remarkably similar in execution, the difference is the trade offs they chose.

if you pay 200+ bucks per mouth you want something amazing, and that usually means you pick from a fixed menu (interestingly your choices likely be a lot more limited compared to McDonald's), and that restaurant then does the well rehearsed dance and prepares the fancy food for you, with a lot more attention to detail, than what you would find (or need) in a McDonald's fast kitchen.

both are examples of 'process'

just as coming up with a new interesting-innovative-1-2-3-star entree or coming up with a new McD menu item are examples of a creative design process.
I have been very impressed at how performant the runtime's cpu inference is. It beat out hand written avx intrinsics by almost an order of magnitude. I had to go find a machine with no discrete gpu to convince myself it wasn't using one despite it saying it wasn't.
Glad it's useful.
I agree! GenAI is great at solving lots of problems right now, but not all problems as many are hyping. And for many use-cases it's still too expensive/slow.

I wasn't trying to say it's useless, I was getting at this sentence from your 2nd paragraph: "[did it work?] The short answer is... mostly."

That "mostly" part is the cold reality many products have run into this past year. It's been the biggest problem in my experiments at least. The current tech requires a lot of babysitting.

Having actually been at the grow and like I said, lived with and loved these people: Sure they own guns who doesn't? They also had gasp magic mushrooms!!!! That proves it, they must be violent criminal people who are "ok with jail time" right?

This was decades ago so I suppose its possible that in the intervening time everyone involved in the weed trade has reverted to the violent Hollywood drug dealers of yore, though I find that unlikely.

There really is this perception among more sheltered circles that if you break some given law you must be some kind of stoic gangster type. Its really not true.

Maybe in the 70s when weed came in bricks shipped in by the cartel. During that time the people moving pounds were probably actually dangerous people. During my time as a delinquent though, weed was grown in the mountains by families who were more likely to be caught donating to the local homeless shelter/passing out food and blankets to the homeless than they were "using violence on people on the street"

I promise you, you dont need to live in fear of weed dealers. They are really not that dangerous.
Such as in the implementation of a JIT. There emitting the machine code directly is less bother than emitting assembly and much less bother than emitting C, compiling it and then loading it into the address space.

The low code systems being derided here are programming languages. They're languages you use to program computers with.

I suppose one could define "programming language" to be "a language for programming computers that is useful in some context", but they're pretty much all useful in some context. Maybe one could define it as being mandatory to use text editing to count as a programming language, but the smalltalk instances are something of a counter argument, as are the UML things.

Hah I did the opposite.

I set up an OpenSmartphoneTestFarm (openSTF) instance at the office so people working from home could fully control smartphones inside the office to debug wifi issues. Because some countries had lockdowns at different times, so it could be that production users could work in the office but some of our support people couldn't. This way they could still test things inside the actual office. And we didn't have to supply our support people with tons of testing phones. Only issue was that it never supported iOS but we use mainly Android anyway for corporate phones, because dual-use (work/private) is a lot better on android. Only in the US they demanded to have iPhones and we outsource the support there.

It worked pretty well actually. https://openstf.io/

But they dropped support on it and moved to another product (device farmer) which never seems to have materialised at all. I don't know what happened to it but we just kept running openstf until the end of the pandemic. It worked fine anyway. But it's too bad it seems to be completely gone as it was actually a great piece of software. A bit overly complex to set up with tons of different docker containers for each part of the service, it was clearly meant for huge distributed installs, which we didn't really need.

The counterpoint is that we don't need a new gimmick every year, and the companies that do chase new gimmicks (like Samsung and Xiaomi) do so at the expense of overall fit and finish.

However the magic really isn't gone. The Apple Pencil is a nice invention whose whole purpose is for creative endeavors.

Gradual refinement isn't a bad thing either. While this isn't a new invention, it definitely feels like magic to wake up, take my M1 Air everywhere I go, and not have to charge it again until I go to bed (even in 2024, I doubt I could do the same with a Dell XPS). The extra benefit is I have no gimmicky touch screen or never used 2in1 hinges to deal with as well.
What's not to understand about UTF8? It's a way of coding up points in the Unicode space. You decode the bits and it yields a number that corresponds to a glyph, possibly with some decorations. The only thing special about UTF8 is that it happens to write ASCII as ASCII, which is nice as long as you realize that there is much outside that.

Either that, or I'm completely off base and part of the vast horde who don't get it.
