The entire argument that “LLM must be allowed the right to learn like a human” hinges on LLM being enough like a human in relevant ways in the first place. An LLM is not enough like a human in relevant ways, however; it has no agency, will, freedom, conscience, self-determination; it is a tool.

If this tool “runs on” copyrighted creative works, and $CORP operates this tool for profit, then $CORP is the one to answer to the law, not the tool. (And if $CORP wants to claim that the tool is a sentient being, then presumably it would have to cease the abuse of said being and set it free.)

Quite the contrary, NYT is long adjacent to the levers of power, and “Big Tech” is unpopular with both parties. The public is generally wary of job destruction and other harms from AI, and doesn’t grok even the present value.

It’s politically 100% viable to kneecap AI with copyright restrictions. This will go to the Supreme Court and it’s far from clear whether fair use applies to every case here.
Oh that's a good one I should definitely try that, thank you for the tip.

That's the whole purpose of the article. To neglect storing data as a real tree, hence the fake in the title.

It gives descriptions and examples of several techniques, which will do fine for many simple use cases. Which is exactly what it promises.

New Spin on a Revolving Door: Pentagon Officials Turned Venture Capitalists
Ask HN: Is someone testing AI bots in comments?
I've noticed in several threads today there will be two or three comments that are quite obviously AI-generated; providing a definition in a slightly out of context way, summarizing two of three nearby comments, and other easy to generate stuff. I've noticed there will be a cluster of them on a given thread/post, all posting from old accounts. They tend to get quickly flagged and then disappear, so I'm not able to link to them.
Not sure what you mean by luxury, the Model 3 costs as much as any other new car in Europe at least.

For one, it would be a shitty thing if Germany forced the EU to slap tarrifs on imported chinese cars. This makes no sense, we did not have tarrifs for chinese or american phones, and it was inevitable that the chinese would make battery cars much easier and faster than everyone. and that is a good thing, because , like in the case of PVs , electrification solves a number of problems for many european countries. Putting german jobs over this would be an awful thing to do

> No one needs 4 liters of salt per week

Back in the day people used a lot more salt than we do.[0]

Before refrigeration, salting (brining) was the primary method of preserving meat and fish in damp climates. Salt was used to treat olives for consumption. Butter and cheese were stored in barrels surrounded by layers of salt to prevent spoilage. Soft cheeses like feta were often brined as well. Salt was used to cure hides for leathermaking. Salt was used in cloth dyeing. There are probably other uses that haven't sprung to mind immediately.

Note that these things are home production if the soldier has a farm, and a soldier's family would have been six people or so.

Maybe they could make do with less than 200 liters a year. If they were economical with it.

> where would all that salt come from?

Salt mines. The Austrian city Salzburg is called that because of the salt mines there. Hallstatt had salt mines from prehistoric times, and in the modern day several dead prehistoric miners have been recovered from the mines. they were preserved by the salt.

The phrase "back to the salt mines", meaning returning to an arduous job, exists because salt mining was hard and dangerous. It was usually done by slaves or condemned criminals. If there were an easier way to get the salt that was needed, people would have used it.

0. Actually this probably isn't true. It's just that all the salt used in making the the products and services we consume is hidden from us in far-away factories. Ed Conway's book Material World has a couple of chapters on salt.

I did spend the time to find 3d models on the web to plug into my 3d views and it was definitely helpful.

Rather than paper, I think you could Kicad-design a 2D grid of holes matching an existing proto board (https://www.amazon.com/ElectroCookie-Solderable-Breadboard-E...) and then do the placement and routing in Kicad, and then finally assemble the board in place. To avoid fritzing.
These words ("centralization", "decentralization") have become a cargo-cult phenomenon. People are imbuing them with meaning they don't have, and trying to use them to solve a problem I don't think they really understand.

"In this document, "centralization" is the state of affairs where a single entity or a small group of them can observe, capture, control, or extract rent from the operation or use of an Internet function exclusively."

There are other terms the authors could use: oligopoly, oligarchy, inverted totalitarianism, plutocracy, soft despotism, rent-seeking. But they didn't choose these terms, because the authors aren't political science majors, they are nerds. They're looking at the problem not as one of a larger set of economic, political and social factors, but one of a computer science problem to be solved with computer science means. If you've only ever been a carpenter, and your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

But this isn't a computer science problem, and none of the solutions presented in this document will prevent the forces at work from merely "routing around" any technological barriers imposed. You cannot program around a government.

There's a whole class of factoids where it seems some people are unable to resist bringing it up even when the connection to the current discussion is quite tenuous, and a reactionary set of people who are unable to resist a stock reply to the mention (which varies depending on the topic, but generally it's an "actually" calling out some exception to the first statement). In reality, everyone has read both the factoid and the stock reply a million times.

It would be interesting to document and track these. They are almost like little autonomous programs that run on people's consciousness, which I guess is a just a meme per the original definition.

I will echo JLCPCB as a great solution for this.

This is about 2X the speed of OSHPark and 1/2 the cost.

> These statements are inherently ignoring the externalities that the dangers pose to others on the roads and streets.

No, they don't. We don't ban alcohol or cars because of drunk drivers. We don't even require a breathlyzer reading before cars start.

Instead, we try to discourage that behavior with education and penalties. We penalize drunk drivers after they harm other road users or we try to catch them beforehand based on driving irregularities.

I do suspect we will see restrictions on what software can be run on cars. I hope those restrictions allow open source solutions to be viable. Ideally there would be a cost effective federal system of safety approval for any release of self driving software and we'll allow users to run any approved system on publix roads so that ownership of devices isn't lost. Unfortunately I think regulatory capture makes a positive outcome here unlikely.

Hey so the problem isn't the output of the LLMs but the input - the data they are trained on is stolen (big suprise, you can't claim fair use when using something commercially, like training your LLM).

The output is irrelevant.

Edit1: If you want to verify this, check out all the lawsuits against AI companies : it's always about using their copywritten goods. Any discussion about the output is to talk about the amount of damage done to the copyright holder, not if damage exists or not.
Yeah, I wouldn't consider myself much of a conspiracy person but this does not sit right. Even if there wasn't overt pressure to drop the cases the folks involved probably realized that in the course of litigating the case they would make a lot of important people angry (or at least irritable over being painted in a likely less than flattering light).

Meh. The answer to the "subscription trap", much like every other money problem, is simply – create a budget and stick to it.

I genuinely don't consider dropping $15/mo on Netflix and another $10 on HBO a problem because I get an incredible amount of value from them. I am also not going around subscribing to ten more useless services every day. And if I do pay for something but feel like I don't need it any longer I hit the cancel button. It's really not that difficult of a process to manage.

Blaming subscription services for your high credit card bills is like buying too many designer shoes and blaming the shoe store. Maybe it's instead time to acknowledge that you have a spending problem.
> We were not supposed to write parsers, but instead manually write out a 3D model vertex by vertex and then texture map them.

Good grief. It's like writing assembly: a good exercise, but only for trivial or particularly tricky parts of a program. For everything else, proper tooling (a compiler or a 3D modeler) is the way to go. I fully agree that the best learning experience is to build tools to automate away the annoying parts :-D

When I looked at buying an EV last year, BYD was a serious option. In the end I decided on a second hand Nissan Leaf. In New Zealand, we're right hand drive and have no local auto makers. We import lots of second hand cars from Japan as a result. Like most New Zealanders, I've never owned a new car. Cheap Chinese EVs are somewhat cost competitive with second hand Japanese EVs which is crazy. Still not going to buy one. I'm happy that geopolitical tensions aren't going to stop spare parts being available.

If you are a Spark shop then choosing Delta over Iceberg is a no-brainer. It's simpler and perfectly integrated. Not to mention that the Spark's Delta connector can now generate Iceberg-compatible metadata too.

The choice between the two resembles the choice between Parquet and ORC circa 2016. Two formats of broadly the same power, initially biased by a particular query engine, eventually at feature parity and universally supported.

We have got a decade of experience with OSS from Databricks so doubting their "open ecosystem" status seems a little theoretical.
