I think I agree with this to some extent in that it's hard for me to imagine a use case where I have a bunch of clean Parquet files, nicely partitioned, in some kind of cloud storage system.

If I'm already going through the trouble of doing ELT/ETL and making a clean copy of the raw data, why would I do that in cloud storage and not in an actual database?

I don't echo your dismissal of the idea because a whole lot of people seem to be excited about it. But I personally feel like I'm missing the use case compared to the lake + warehouse setup.

Is it about distributing responsibility across teams? Reducing storage cost? Open source good vibes?

Maybe a legitimate use case is being able to use the same data source for multiple query engine frontends? That is, you can use both Spark and Snowflake on the same physical data files.

I'd be interested to hear about this from someone who's using or planning to use a lakehouse.

This operates similarly to importing an image into Photoshop. You can do whatever you like with images privately, or with gen AI, but the game ends when you try to use those images commercially.

Not sure how this “gets worse” or better for anyone. The current state of things seems generally fine, and there’s a real possibility the courts see it that way too.
Will do, that wasn't really clear tbh.. "open source" and "github" get filtered out just like ads by my brain these days
There are no decent educational resources for experienced programmers (except books for narrow specific technical topics).

I know that from personal experience as an engineer and an educator.

There are strong economical reasons for that:

1. Experienced engineers can only learn something worthwhile from much more experienced ones

2. Extremely experienced engineers are rare kind on its own

3. Being a good teacher is a standalone set of skills and attitudes

4. It is extremely small set of intersection between being good engineer and a good teacher.

5. Courses from such people would cost a fortune to cover time and effort.

6. Experienced developers while being a paying audience, are at the same time extremely picky and hard to educate (because they already feel smart and know how to do things). Which makes situation even worse.

7. At the same time there are millions of noobs ready to consume almost anything you throw at them.

So imagine you are an engineer capable of teaching something. What would you do?

With Docker on MacOS (and Windows), it needs to start a Linux VM so containers can run. This is transparent to the user. With Linux, they run natively, so no VM needed.

VMs require an upfront memory allocation, so this is the reason for the difference. You could also Google "Mac Docker Desktop Memory" and look at the first link.

Yeah the "check the work" thing is key. I think the reason these work so well as coding assistants is that we already have really mature tools for checking the work: compilers, static analyzers, test suites, etc.

It's not like writing a history paper where you can write "Napoleon was a French general who conquered Europe in 1987" and just be wrong in a way that requires cross-checking facts. Computers are less forgiving of things that are wrong.

But I do feel like I see incorrect documentation proliferating a bit more, and I'm curious whether we'll see an up-tick in more subtle bugs that is wrong but not so wrong that it is rejected early on. I haven't personally seen that in my work yet. I do also see more code that I don't like during code reviews, that I'm sure was spat out by an AI, but often I conclude that my preference isn't really "right" or even better, but just a preference that doesn't really matter.

It’s not infringing just by existing, you would need to then go try to use it commercially for infringement to occur.

Arguably, the LLM generating the image isn’t infringement, you using it would be.
> There should be no bonuses for executives.

The problem with this is, as they say, that if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Running a successful broadcaster is hard, and there's a limited pool of talent that can do this well.

So if you want to be successful, and not a public-money-wasting amateur-hour operation, you need to attract experienced professional talent. And if you aren't competitive on salary, why would they come to you?

I understand the spirit of your idea though.. Maybe bonuses should be based on specific metrics - like viewership or fundraising - that and publicly tracked and paid out in a very transparent way instead?

And maybe they shouldn't be only for executives.

Ad-free is a tough one, but maybe they have limited categories for advertisements, say things that are of public interest like events? Not sure...
> Whenever people say stuff like this I can't help but wonder what on earth kind of projects they work on.

Terrifyingly, one of the bad human examples was doing C++. That person didn't know, or care to learn about, the standard template library; and they also duplicated entire files rather than changing access specifiers from private to public so they could subclass; and one feature they worked on was to support a change from storing data as a custom file format to a database, and the transition could take 20 minutes on some inputs even though neither loading before nor after this transition took more than milliseconds, and they insisted during one of the standups the code couldn't possibly be improved… the next day I looked at it for a bit, removed an unnecessary O(n^2) operation, and the transition code went back down to milliseconds. Oh, and a thousand(!) line long block for an if statement that always evaluated true.

The whole codebase was several times too big to fit into the context window for any version of any GPT model thanks to both this duplication and to keeping old versions of functions around "for reference" (their words), but if it had been rewritten to be more sensible it might just about fit into the biggest.

(My other examples were either still at, or fresh out of, university; but this person should have known better).

> Don't even get me started on the actual difficult part which is the whole preamble to creating the ticket in JIRA or whatever task management software you use where you're talking with stakeholders and planning out the work ahead, you're telling me you're paying 'Open'AI to do that whole rigamarole for you, and you're doing it successfully?

>Industries might form their own protective alliances, but would this be enough?

Sounds something akin to the VOC - private industry enforcing their [perceived, supposed, or actual] rights via force (if they wanted) with practically no one to stop them

For digital assets, such "protective alliances" would be practically impossible to enforce (the cost of reproducing a digital work is effectively zero - so practically infinite copies can be produced before, during, and after any "protective alliance" could respond)

For physical assets, said "protective alliance" would have to have 'enforcement agents' in every possible location the work could be reproduced - a dauntingly-cost-prohibitive venture

...and that is why the rule of law (ie government-enforced, strictly-outlined property rights) comes into play: no single person or company or industry or cartel has the power to enforce their own rights beyond a very limited range

The guitarist is not publishing the content, you are.

It could be argued ChatGPT is a publisher too.
Sure, there are legitimate but opposing interests here. The solution doesn't have to be technical though. The key part is making sure that the copyright owners still have some recourse, but one that isn't punitive for unknowing infringement. For example, make it legally impossible to impose punitive penalties for unknowing infringement without commercial interest, but make it possible for the rights owner to demand the relevant material be removed etc.

Also keep in mind that the Mario examples from the article are perhaps not the best guide here. Mario is sufficiently pervasive in our culture that you can't reasonably claim unknowing infringement. It's the somewhat more obscure cases that I'd be worried about.
Neither of those sources describe any actions "gutting copyright law". They just say that officials met to discuss the issues.
Your first link shows is about the FDAs legal definition, and I don't know what the second link is supposed to mean, other than somebody somewhere called it a gene therapy.

I have no commercial interest in any of this, and my opinion is that any definition of "gene therapy" which includes mRNA vaccines is overly broad. "Change the host genome" is clearly what the average person things when they hear "gene therapy", and legal definitions should match that.
A very incomplete RFC that I doubt will ever reach concensus based on this description.

Sending an ethernet frame one way and receiving an HTTP request back is just weird protocol design. It's also encoding HTTP while claiming to be ethernet based. There's no description for handling protocols like FTP/SMTP/IMAP traffic, let alone arbitrary traffic types. Of course this is to be expected, because ethernet is too low level a protocol to be practically pipeable over HTTP alone; there's no request/response structure, so the server wouldn't know what to send in response. I suppose server side events and pipelining/multiple channels could be used to transmit and receive messages asynchronously, but I feel like the HTTP stack is woefully underqualified for that kind of usage.

QUIC, on the other hand, could be useful for VPN style connections, and I can imagine a setup where a QUIC connection authenticates and then opens up separate channels to set up the VPN link, allowing for arbitrary data exchange as a result of an HTTPS request.

For something with such obvious security risks, you'd also expect at least a short summary of security challenges and required actions, but that seems to be missing.

I think this proposal was written by someone who was unaware of HTTP's CONNECT verb, which seems to do accomplish exactly what the author wants to accomplish (access an internal HTTP server externally, after authentication). There are advantages to using lower level frames (HTTP CONNECT lacks UDP support for protocols like QUIC, for example) but they're not actually leveraged here.

Perhaps the more interesting point of this proposal is that practically anyone can write an RFC proposal, you don't need the backing of a large company or a group of researchers. An RFC being hosted doesn't mean there's a new standard you need to keep track of, it only means someone sent the right messages to the right places to start the proposal process.
Emoji are legally actionable
This looks like a joke to me. I'd do something like encapsulating raw Ethernet frames over WebSockets, for example. Basically, something like OpenVPN does in tap mode, just standardized. And maybe with the possibility of protocol switching on the fly.

No need to reinvent the wheel.

Tangentially related, but I don't understand.

From light googling, a quick-release steering wheel seems to be a steering wheel that you can simply remove by pressing a button.

So from your post, the implication seems to be that if someone has one, and their car is rear-ended, the steering wheel just comes off into their hands and they can't control their car.

Is that right?

Why would someone purchase a quick-release steering wheel? What does it help them accomplish?

Right now, it feels more like it's called "innovation" and "entrepreneurship" than the end-game, as long as you have billions invested. Waiting on the courts to decide this issue
So you're saying this is a fait accompli. Like many great innovations in tech, break the law because the law is silly; remember when Uber and AirBnB were illegal in most major cities and achieved market dominance anyway?

I say, good riddance. I never believed in any such thing as "intellectual property" anyway, I say, get rid of it all, patents, copyright, and the whole pile of imaginary "rights". More than half the world (i.e. the Global South) don't recognize these rights anyway, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to enforce it without draconian legal overreach and monopolistic centralization.

AIUI/IIUC/IANAL, Generative AI systems stack up tuned butterfly effects to create meaningful outputs. Which means, data is not merely stored inside a butterfly but spread across the system, and potentially every output from the butterfly cage is infringing everything, just almost negligibly. But no one can prove that or otherwise to be the case with current technology.

I think it's just unfixable as far as fixing goes. The "best" way is to nuke all GPTs and DALL-Es and bury the technology, and the next best is to mark them all un-copyrightable and un-publishable as a compromise. This second option should be an all-around win that also encourages edge and on-prem deployments, IMO.

You're very likely correct, which is funny because they turned out to have incredibly security. We hacked the APIs of all the US brokers without an issue, but I didn't even make it past the auth stage with this Singapore broker.

One morning I was working on their login flow - not doing anything crazy, mind you. Just a bit weird; logging in and out, watching the req/res cycles with Charles Proxy. All of a sudden my boss comes over and tells me to stop immediately. Apparently I set off so many alarm bells at the broker that the CTO was woken up (it was 2am where they were). That was a fun gig lol.

> I’m not a fan of copyright in general, but we have serious outstanding issues with companies and organizations stealing or plastering work without compensating the original creators of said works

Copyright is meant to give the original creator a monopoly over their creation (so that others don't profit off of their work). Are you not a fan of copyright in its current scope / implementation? Because it sounds like you do agree with its goal.
My problem with that is that the social contract is completely dead. It used to be that as long as the company was profitable, nobody would get fired. Now we have craziness like Microsoft or Google where they're basically laying people off because profit was 28% instead of 31% or revenue "only" grew by 12% instead of 20% for companies making hundreds of billions of dollars.

These companies could readily afford professional reconversions, on the job, for all the people laid off.

> but the programmer using AI will do.

Where exactly will these magical programmers come from, if not the existing pool? That is the fundamental flaw with this argument - there are not tens of thousands of people with not enough skill to be currently employed, but enough skill to out-compete current programmers as long as they can use GenAI.

If these tools get orders of magnitude more powerful then maybe we can have a real discussion about the number of programming jobs diminishing, but that hasn't been the case yet.

The reality is that for a typical software developer, you're looking at a single digit increase in productivity if you use Copilot. ChatGPT provides even less productivity increase right now.

This is not unexplained. Apparently the story with Qin Gang (foreign minister) is that he got compromised and sensitive information leaked to the US through him.

If so, his case is not one of 'Stalinian purge' but one of an embarrassing national security breach.
