Are they? Forget even fully self-driving cars right now--who's certifying your lane assist after every OTA update? Like, point at the guy with the clipboard at USDOT or the NHTSA. Because as far as I know, that's not happening, you're open-palm slamming updates into a system you chose to bought and use, under an operational model where you must be fully ready to take over with no warning, and undertaking that is your call.

To be totally clear: I want a regulatory regime for this stuff such that it is safe-as-possible and not predicated on a human's attention not wandering in the way that a human's attention is going to very understandably wander. Without one, consumers need to not buy it on pain of their own significant liability.
(ab)using hid for anything it's not been designed for usually is a pita, especially if you want decent throughput.

Not really. Models are a device capable of producing protected content given some input contortions. So are Xerox machines.
They (EU countries) allowed Turkey to court them for a long time and get expensive treats then bailed out of it by ghosting Turkey.

Do they have to admit Turkey? Hell no. Is it a sign of a good personality? Also no.
Exactly, which is why if this gets any traction I believe it'll be removed. Apple does not allow you to consume your own content on their platforms without a tax or at least a little roughing up.
That's the future but raycasting currently has some major drawbacks... namely that everything looks like a noisy mess when you look around.

Curious if anyone has plotted GPU compute increases against display resolution + update frequency increases? When do the two lines cross?
The likelihood of a use being considered fair diminishes if it negatively impacts the market value of the original work. For instance, if The New York Times (NYT) argues that AI-generated content is not transformative, being quoted verbatim, it suggests the use is not transformative. This challenges the notion of fair use, implying the AI merely replicated the original content without significant alteration or added meaning.

In interactions with AI systems like ChatGPT, the user's intent and query nature significantly influence the AI's output. Regardless of user understanding, the fact that they engage with a generative prediction model is key. This novel use case is a first of its kind.

Similar to legal searches, where responsibility rests with the searcher, the intent behind AI queries — whether for research, information, or to demonstrate something about AI functionality — dictates the AI's response. The distinction between the AI's training data (e.g., articles from The Times) and the model's outputs is critical for evaluating transformative use. Each instance must be considered individually to ascertain this.

Just as intent is pivotal in legal contexts, it's also relevant when users interact with AI. If a user seeks verbatim content from sources like The NYT, responsibility could shift more towards them. This raises ethical questions about the intent behind the NYT's use of OpenAI's services.

If the NYT utilized OpenAI's services contrary to terms of use, such as for illegal activities or spreading misleading information, it would constitute a violation. Similarly, manipulating outputs to damage OpenAI's reputation would also breach these terms.

In copyright law, responsibility typically lies with the entity making copies or distributions. However, AI complicates this, as it generates content from various inputs. The user essentially initiates and guides this process through their prompts.

OpenAI could respond by filtering any NYT content and requiring users to agree to a legally binding contract. This contract would stipulate conditions for content usage in line with fair use principles, emphasizing a joint responsibility between the user and OpenAI. Such an approach aligns with other services where access is contingent on agreeing to specific terms.
Even if you don't pass this argument, you can poke most implementations of dd(1) with a certain POSIX signal, and they'll respond by printing a progress line.

On Linux, this is SIGUSR1, and you have to use kill(1) to send it.

On BSDs (incl. macOS), though, the signal dd listens for is instead called SIGINFO (which probably makes this make a lot more sense for why a process would have this response to it.) Shells/terminal emulators on these platforms emit SIGINFO when you type Ctrl+T into them!

(For a lot more useful info about this behavior: https://stuff-things.net/2016/04/06/that-one-stupid-dd-trick...)

Bonus fact not mentioned in the above article: dd used in the middle of a pipeline will still "hear" Ctrl+T and print progress, since signals generated by a shell (think: SIGINT from Ctrl+C) are propagated to all processes in the process group started by the command. Test it yourself:

cat /dev/zero | dd count=10000000 bs=1024 | cat > /dev/null
I'm Dutch too. It's been pretty wild, yeah.
There’s a trend of democracy being under attack, and Trump and Brexit are good examples of that
Canada's CSIS wrote a great report about this https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/csis-scrs/documents/public...
This isnt a great take at all. Copyright is certainly an important part of our society upon which like the parent said, Open Source Software and other incredibly valuable things lie.

Cops on the other hand solely exist for the reason of locking people in cages. Why you ever feel like you need to have someone else locked in a cage is beyond me. When I have been the victim of a crime the cops have not shown and when they did have been less than helpful. This is a pattern for all the people in my subjective bubble.

About that whole speech patterns thing. I assume you mean addressing people in a polite way? Thats not enforcing certain speech patterns thats actually just being a respectful member of society.
To expand on it, UK had some special riders on the EU deal. Without arguing about whether they were fair, I guess these would be out, and EU membership would be less attractive.

But more attractive still than the current mess, if you ask me!

The grand fallacy of Brexit was that only if they(far right and far left) can get rid of EU, they will be able to make UK a pure capitalist utopia or pure socialist utopia. For the far-left, EU was this neo-liberal globalist org that won't let them turn Communist and for the far-right EU was this socialist bunch that won't let them do their thing in the name of protecting human rights and the environment.

The horseshoe phenomenon helps with gathering the numbers necessary to break something but it makes it impossible to build anything.

The Tories, that turned far-right, found out that just because you won the elections and EU is no more it does't mean that you can drop all the laws, regulations, taxes and public services because the country still has leftist and centrists. The next elections the Labour will find out that just because you win the elections and the EU is no more, you can't just nationalise everything and expand the government because a significant portion of the population does want free market economy and low taxes.

As a result, what Brexit did was only to complicate bureaucracy and reduce the talent pool by erecting barriers with their closest neighbours.

No positives, only negatives. Anything positive that happened after Brexit could have been done within EU anyway. Why? For two reasons: either it's allowed within EU or you can change the EU law because you are the EU.

Yep, that't the other tragic fallacy about EU: That EU is some 3rd party organisation that you subscribe and consume. In reality, EU is made of its members and the people in "Brussels" are not some Belgians cranking out laws and regulations but British among others and great deal of EU laws are actually made by the British themselves.

It's simply mathematically impossible for UK to be better off outside the EU. It can be good for some, though.
I’m angry because it doesn’t come off like respecting the culture.

Take, for example, me learning Portuguese. I’d like the illustrations to look like people who live in Portugal, obviously. Same for if I’m learning Nepalese, or Swahili.

Not a person of color who is queer and lives in LA. That’s fine for the English course. Not the Swahili course.
The point is more so in aim of creating interoperability between systems and making them in turn composable.

When there’s a common intermediate representation you can pass around those compute instructions and execute. And when there’s shared memory formats data can pass from storage to engine without serialization/deserialization.

So it wouldn’t matter if data is here or there, in this or that format, because the instructions are the same the specific interface (snowflake, MySQL, a local parquet file, etc) is irrelevant mitigating the need for glue code.
It's a democracy. The entire house of commons are there by the "people's will" too are they not? Their entire job as professional political representatives is to more carefully weigh decisions based on what they think is best for their constituents and their nation. Why should a single non-binding non-mandatory simple majority referendum with plenty of lies slung around and dark money override democracy in your mind? They should have responded in such ways as

1: "Thank you for your interest we will take the result under advisement and form a committee to study the matter" and then shit can it. If "the people" cared enough they'd make it an election issue.

2. "We have come up with three proposals for how to respond. There will be another referendum, this time binding, with ranked choice (or whatever) to decide which specific path to take, with status quo as option 4. At least 60% of at least a 60% turnout is necessary to pick one, otherwise we stick with the status quo." Then run that.

Or many other choices. But make no mistake there were LOTS of options beyond the extreme one picked.
From the comments it sounds like Duolingo is still retaining some contractors to verify AI correctness.

However I’m more concerned with the next 5 years. As AI inevitably gets more integrated in products and services, how will people know when AI is wrong?

My biggest fear is that AI will make us all dumber because people assume the computer is right. I see this already with some end users of the software I write.

I know my programs have bugs, sometimes they are wrong. But the average user believes it to be true because it is on the screen. For some reason that is an authority.

Maybe companies who use AI in their producers should be legally required to retain subject matter experts to verify correctness. Maybe AI should be banned from processing queries about health, or other sensitive fields?
If the England/Wales version of the NHS is "taken over" by the Scottish one, that's almost certainly an improvement for everyone in England and Wales.
What it tells you is that 93% of the information is sufficiently shared with the rest of the English language such that it can be pulled out into a shared codebook. LZMA doesn't have a codebook, not really.

In other words it's not that llama2 contains 93% of Chapter 1, it's that only 7% of Chapter 1 is different enough to anything else to be worth encoding in its own right.
That's not what rent seekers are. And I don't know how we went from "I don't want billion dollar corpotations scraping my IP to train their for-profit products" to "I want everyone to pay me, forever".

In my mind, subscriptions imply support and/or updates, and I don't want to work on my software forever. But I don't necessarily want to give it out for free either. one lump sum sounds fine for me.
"Until important details are worked out this cannot be immediately acted upon responsibly". That sounds exactly like the 3 years of Will they Won't they that made up the Theresa May Administration and her handling of Brexit!

I've enjoyed Duolingo and paid for a while. One takeaway I have is that it's not really a good way to learn languages. It's too formulaic. People complain that they can't understand actual conversation despite years of consistent duo practice. It is fun and addicting though.

That's the goal, isn't it? Normalize unicorn genders.

And i fully agree with "If we’re going to have diversity, why not primarily show people who actually speak the language?"
Seems like a plausible explanation. Thanks for explaining it.
Probably not, but those aren't photographs.
Australia is a very conservative country where the majority mostly seem to care about stuff, but only as distant priority to money.

Australias politics is essentially “my money” as priority one two three then other stuff like environment.
Yeah this makes sense. Maybe RAND publications will indeed give me some insight into my question.

But I also buy that there is a lot of overlap between military work and any other kind of white collar work, which LLMs are definitely useful (but not revolutionary) for.
So true. I just had two Meanwell PSUs from Amazon delivered and the package was indistinguishable from the usual AliExpress job.
Come on, you can't be serious about that.

Yeah, I'm aware what pops out when you type "Timeline" in Wikipedia's search.
From my (foreign) point of view, is that now that the UK can no longer benefit even indirectly from what used to be a large transient workforce from the border-free Schengen Area, it instead is forced to actually accept "unsightly more permanent and real immigration" from the rest of the EU and the world at large to keep the economy turning.

So it went from "we don't like immigrants" to "pretty please immigrate to the UK even if you're not from the EU or we're toast".
Did the UK have a legal obligation to allow EU citizens to live and work freely in the UK while in the EU?

Did the UK have the legal right to alter trading regulations? For example, could the UK decide to import chlorine washed chicken from US while in the EU?

Did the UK have a legal right to discriminate against labours from the EU who applied for jobs in the UK?

Please feel free to add context to my questions, because I've had enough of these conversations to know you'll have reasons why although we couldn't control our borders, trade and labour in many circumstances that it doesn't matter. I'll probably agree with you in most cases.

But unless the EU literally does nothing and serves no purpose, obviously there are things that we can do now we are out of the EU which we could not do while in the EU. Please decide whether the EU forces us to do things but those things we are forced to do are good, or the EU does nothing at all, but we should still stay in it. You can't have it both ways.

I'll also note, we've massively reduced the number of migrants coming from Eastern Europe, this is something that we literally could not legally do while in the EU.
> Honestly I don't see why corporate security groups don't throw a fit over what Microsoft has been doing the last few years.

I have never seen any corporate security group that does its own thinking instead of rubber-stamping whatever Microsoft tells them.

And the current Windows privacy terms grant MS the right t upload to their servers anything from the disk or memory of your computer. So they already maximized the untrustworthiness here. We can stop expecting that anybody reacts.
>The idea that we should dispense with it to let generative AI companies make even more money seems totally bizarre.

How's that bizarre, if as you state copyright has always been based on "money makes right" not some moral stance?
For all the hype in 2023, we still don't know what AI's long-term impact will be
Assuming this is kids (like my situation) work out how much you are spending on subscriptions for stuff and give them the money instead, if they want to spend it on subscriptions they can.

I think it's a good idea personally, it allows them to be in control and think about money a bit more. We don't have half the subscriptions we once had, but it's not like I can't buy Netflix for a month if there is something I really want to watch.
It’s from Opinium, a decent polling company who know far more about polling than the majority of internet commentators

> Out of 46.5m registered voters, 17.4m voted to leave the EU. That's 37% of voters, and about 26% of the population. Unfortunately, 13.3m people just didn't vote at all in the referendum.

Cameron had promised to rescind the rule that prevented 15yr+ expats from voting on Brexit before the vote would be held. He never fulfilled that promise. How many of the 3M+ expats do you think might have voted against Brexit?
Pretty sure people are cancelling their subscriptions, money is tight
TFA explicitly addresses that was the question under consideration:

> In his ruling (THJ v Sheridan, 2023), Lord Justice Arnold wrote that, for copyright to arise: “What is required is that the author was able to express their creative abilities in the production of the work by making free and creative choices so as to stamp the work created with their personal touch”. Importantly, he went on: “This criterion is not satisfied where the content of the work is dictated by technical considerations, rules or other constraints which leave no room for creative freedom”. In other words, if the aim of a museum photograph is to accurately reproduce a painting (which it must be), then it cannot acquire copyright.

I.e. these museums were selling pictures of artworks that by definition needed to adhere to a true reproduction of the original as closely as possible. It wasn't a question of taking a picture of an out-of-copyright painting and applying some level of skill/artistic license to transform the original in some way.
It is a good idea to have a narration against the omnipresent and omnipotent capitalism.

It is a kind of substitute for the taboo words anarchism and communism.

I hope a day humanity will be driven by altruism and generosity in place of egoism and greed.
Using GitHub Copilot Chat in Your IDE
Several years ago I noticed that the motorcycle oil filters I was receiving from Amazon had changed- much lower construction quality, less filtration material, and didn't include a crush washer. I double checked that I was buying the same product on Amazon as previously, and then bought the same SKU from a different store to compare. Apparently, Amazon was mixing counterfeit items in the same stock as the real stuff.

After that I stopped buying safety critical things from Amazon.

Ask HN: Cross-platform GUI apps in 2024
What would you use to build a small, cross-platform app with a GUI in 2024? Ideally, I want it to be usable on Mac, Windows, and Linux. I usually use Python but my experience has been that it’s really hard to distribute Python GUI apps. I have heard that Electron is good for this situation. Are there any new frameworks or platforms that you would recommend?
Good what?

The government are no longer able to use EU rules as an excuse for their failures. It is now all on them.

So there is a definite path of responsibility. People have to wake up to that, and let the politicians know.

It is likely we'll have a flop to a Labour government at the next GE. Once they also show their incompetence, we may have a chance for improving things. Say starting in around 7-10 years time.

That period should be too soon for any successful rejoin movement, as that is in the gift of the EU, and the MS.

Brexit was (by definition) always a political thing, not an economic thing.
This makes sense. It was allowed for the content to be read and used in certain ways (e.g. search engines or as references) without substantial reproduction. The NYT would then have to flag specific generated content as infringing a specific work which could then be judged as fair use or not on a case-by-case basis. If a particular site/company was repeatedly and/or primarily using substantial content then perhaps it could be 'delisted' as search engines do for links to pirated copies of works.
I think "mandatory critical thinking training for voters" is the only actual long term solution. I would generalize it as "better education".
Which of her books do you recommend for the relatively experienced home cook who's done a little bit of imitation Chinese cooking?
