> Not that I disagree exactly, but how do you see the people making the knowledge being rewarded for their work?

I don't have the answer. I do know that all of society would need to change.

The simple approach would be that they are provided food and shelter, but this brings in the modern societal desire for 'more' than just needs.

How many people just work to afford to live, and why is that often so expensive... typically because others somewhere, indirectly, are making more than they need to live. Landlords, businesses, etc. Profit and 'growth' all break the basic concept of bartering to live; they take more than they give, in the name of status and power.

I don't think we can go back to a simpler approach, but at the same time I don't belive copyright is fit for purpose even in the simplest forms any more.

What people are willing to pay for seems to have become confused in the modern day compared to what they 'need' to live.
You will still eventually run into absurd contradictions whenever you blame a tool for the actions of its user. Subjective factors like "scale and speed" should have no place in the law, even though they often do.

Never mind that every regulation that constrains AI development in the West is a giftwrapped blessing to China and other actors that DGAF about copyright law.
There is a distinction to be made between inputs and outputs when it comes to AI and copyright. Most people focus on the former, and discuss whether you can train an LLM on copyrighted works or not, but ultimately the issues really only manifest in the latter.

An AI training itself on a million newspaper articles can be declared legal, sure, but what happens when it also starts spitting out the same articles with nearly no modification? Is that still fair use? This is the crux of NYT's lawsuit, and making laws about AI training isn't going to make a difference to that.
There are ways to write unit tests that make it a lot cheaper to change requirements. But I can still count the number of people I've worked with who write them that way.

Right now I'm still trying to convince people that fakes and mocks are not the same thing.
That's right. What matters most here is whether he might be just as healthy if he'd just exercise regularly and eat a decent diet.
I guess I'm just not as cynical as that, or maybe I'm more clear eyed about my role in the chain of GTM, but I don't see what's so "unfortunate" about the scenario you described.
Can anyone in the U.K. confirm first hand experience (either themselves or knowing someone with no degree of separation)? I know lots of people in there, visited myself recently, and this seems like complete bollocks.
While I think there are many questionable emoji, and I find the constant emoji creep annoying, they do serve a few good functions. Used well, they can help break up text and draw your attention to specific parts. More importantly, however, they are much easier for screen readers to interpret, which has to help for accessibility.

On Gmail I get maybe 1 spam a month max in my inbox (and it blocks many per day)
I've been using SpamAssassin for at least 15 years and it's sadly gotten less useful as the spam arms race has moved on. We regularly see people on here post about deliverability issues with Gmail/Outlook but the truth is that sender reputation is by far the biggest indicator of whether a message will be spam - these type of rules are just counting deckchairs on the titanic in comparison.

And this plays into the strengths of the big mail networks in detection. It's a bonus to them that every time they block a smaller host there is a good chance that sender will consider a move to office365 or Google Workspace for their mail.

As an aside, not sure if OP is related to them but updown.io is a nice service and I appreciate the simple PAYG pricing! For what it's worth their mails seem to get through successfully to me too.

Also for those facing mail delivery issues (or just practicing good email hygiene) - I recommend www.mail-tester.com - they give you an email address to send a mail to and carry out a heap of tests - including checking against SpamAssassin + blacklists, SPF/DNS/etc testing.

>reminder that our super accurate GPS measurements are not 100% reliable

Lockheed solved this with their super sensitive Magnetic Field 'GPS' device - which they claim if for having 'GPS' accuracy for aircraft and ships nearly 100% based on the localized magnetic signature of the earth - but we all know these are actually built for subterranian/submarine environs where space based GPS no cut it. Can't navigate Agartha without it.

I do wonder how much major earthquakes affect the finer signature of the magnetic fields?
It'd be really interesting to open up a movie theater in Japan that just ingests blockbusters through a "do nothing" NN and then be able to screen them royalty free. This decision feels incredibly half baked.

So to be clear -- you're well aware that in the case of your private data that you have an interest in preventing it being used to train AI.

Great. So d'you think you could outline a reason why you wouldnt have an interest in your creative works not being used also?

Either the training data is, as big-ad-tech says, essentially equivalent to generic human experiences -- ie., weakly repoducible; OR it is extremely reporducible, and equivalent more to standard contemporary data compression.

If you're kool-aid'ing the former on copyright, why not the latter on privacy?>

Welcome to The Guardian: The Daily Mail of the left
Hundreds of hours of networking is an average of 1 (actively networking) hour per week over 5 years. I.e. every couple of weeks go to a short event or get together for the afternoon. It's not something you do for 2 months straight after losing your job. I mean, you could... but it's significantly less effective that way.

If you do this sanely you get more out of the event than just networking as well. Generally it's a great way to learn about new or different things you may not see at your company.

See, thing is, ypur oinion doesn't really matter when it comes to banning electronics during take of and landing, mine doesn't neither. Airlines and regulators decided that, for safety reasons, electronics are banned for passengers. Same as with red traffic lights and speed limits, it stops there.

For what it 's worth so, I don't consider people having 20 minutes less screen time to be considered a prize to be paid, let alone one big enough to change reugulations over.
I fully agree that this is the cardinal sin of C++. I think that C still offers much better encapsulation by using interfaces based on incomplete struct types. While I understand your point regarding inline, there are some comments I would like to make: It is now there and removing it would break existing code. The alternative are often macros, but inline functions where they can replace macros are better and the compiler can decide not to inline when it does not make sense. LTO is an alternative, but does not work across library boundaries, and also has a very substantial compile-time cost.

Compiling with a new language mode does not force you to move variable declarations to the point of initialization, but you would now have the option to improve the code in this way when it makes sense. It is difficult to see this as an disadvantage. My point is that moving it to a new language version would usually not require changes to the code, except where the old modes were dangerous. So I would expect to find serious bugs when doing this.

“When you say this thing about a minority group, people will die, so please don’t do it” is not the same as “let’s burn books because they acknowledge that slavery existed”
Refreshing take! I feel like the last years the tech industry has been increasingly obsessed with outcomes and moving KPIs at all costs.

I've seen pretty great (not always financially successful) things come out of people genuinely enjoying their work.
One of the fundamental problems of distributed systems is the network. Adding a computing component over a network adds all kinds of complexity. Adding data on top of that adds complexity in managing data.

If the purpose is to simplify, then you would want to remove the components that add complexity, but here instead of removing them, we've simply changed them, and removed some of their useful functionality. Complexity remains but in a different shape.

My criticisms are personal, in that it feels like the page is trying to be willfully deceptive, and that's annoying.
Some places use an encoded lat/long.

Open Location Code - "Google has shown practical usage of plus codes for addressing purposes in Cape Verde,[10] parts of Kolkata[11] and Kolhapur[12] in India, and the Navajo Nation in the United States.[13]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocode . https://freethoughtblogs.com/singham/2023/12/24/using-olc-co... says a friend of his sent an OLC coordinate to get to a place in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, which (infamously?) has no street numbers.

What3words - "This population had "no consistent addressing system" until May 2016 when Mongol Post started using a geocoding system provided by what3words." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_Post

Over time (centuries?) the named coordinate will no longer be valid as the location is no longer near enough to that lat/long.
Yeah, I can ask ChatGPT to "do some web research, and validate the approach/library/interface/whatever", which is a useful feature to me.

Exactly. It would be entirely legitimate to legally privilege human learning without allowing that privilege to transfer (by analogy) to machine learning.

There are a lot of people who want use analogy to force the transfer of that privilege because 1) they judge they can profit handsomely and/or 2) they're technology enthusiasts who've read too much sci-fi.

Elsewhere | Founding Software Engineer | San Francisco | Full-time | ONSITE

Ever wanted to build indie video games at a startup? Let's talk.

Elsewhere is a San Francisco-based company building a new kind of multiplayer social video game, inspired by indie roguelike games like Hades, Dead Cells, and Risk of Rain 2. We're backed by top Silicon Valley investors, and graduated from the first cohort of a16z's SPEEDRUN program, which is kind of like YC for games.

Ideally, you:

* Have worked as a software engineer before, ideally on a small team.

* Have built and shipped games before, either professionally or on your own time.

* Have experience with a major game engine, such as Unity, Godot, or Unreal.

* Love games yourself, and have always wanted to work in the games industry.

Bonus points if you have experience with backend software development, especially as it pertains to authoritative server multiplayer games.

Your colleagues would include:

* an alum of Supergiant Games who worked on such titles as Pyre, Transistor, and yes, Hades

* a self-taught immersive artist who bootstrapped built a massive creative business on her own

* a repeat entrepreneur who previously cofounded a billion-dollar YC startup

We work in-person out of an office in San Francisco. Relocation assistance is available.
