I kind of prefer it the old, allegedly bad way. I just write selectors and rules in my css files. I use approximately "semantic" selectors, but I'm not religious about it. Everything seems to work pretty good.

I haven't had to scale this to a mega-app, but most CSS doesn't.
Yes-ish. The standard was released in 2017 so it's pretty comfortably over half a decade old at this point with very few devices available. And those devices that are available are pretty pricey and locked down given they are seen as more or less specialty equipment.

This compares to other WiFi standards which tend to proliferate quite extensively within a year or two of release. And LoRA (which HaLOW competes against) had a decent number of products available for far cheaper within the first few years after release (~2-3 years before HaLOW).
I'm really struggling to conceptualize a world where every picture that's drawn must have a full notary log of how exactly it was produced, all for the sake of removing generative AI.

Besides, it's not that easy of a problem - a lot of corporate artists are salaried workers, they don't get specified commissions with an attached bill per work, but are paid a salary so the company can ask them to draw whatever they need throughout the process. Considering this, all artists would need to retain "intermediate artifacts".

And then, how do these artifacts work for other ways of doing art? What about traditional artists whose work gets scanned in after completion - would they have to keep a camera on hand to take photographs as they're working? What about an animated film - would every intermediate step in production, from character design to storyboarding to environmental design etc etc need to have a full record for every single sketch?
I'm concerned Apple won't approve your app for the App store if your chat app says something offensive.
If, after 16 years of trying to profit from a work, $65k isn't a trivial amount for you, you have failed to do the work justice[1]. Maybe it is time for someone else to try?

You haven't heard of Audie Murphy yet, have you?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy

>> Murphy mounted the abandoned, burning tank destroyer and began firing its .50 caliber machine gun at the advancing Germans, killing a squad crawling through a ditch towards him. For an hour, Murphy stood on the flaming tank destroyer returning German fire from foot soldiers and advancing tanks, killing or wounding 50 Germans.

I don't even care about it being illegal. As said above, US can completely ban such tech and China will keep on trucking along.

I just want artists affected to be paid, and actually paid. Not "paid" the way spotify artists are. if you're making a billion off of 100 artists' work, you better be making each affected artist a millionaire in royalties.
This is going to be completely ineffective in the long run. There is a lot of public-domain art, especially for more historical images.

And for the newer styles and for the general image "vocabulary", the model trainers can just buy enough samples legitimately. I'm surprised that Getty Images is not pushing their collection to trainers.

What the hell are you on about? Apple has rules and guidelines on (user) generated content, GP was asking whether it applied here.
I had two small kids in the kindergarten in 2020.

Two year old children will remove their facemask to pick their nose, or share a licked cookie with their best friend. You can try to teach older kids to use a facemask corectly, but for two years olld it's security theater.
If they are converters, I wonder how difficult it would be to make them standalone utilities that did the format conversion and nothing more (assuming there doesn’t need to be manual intervention). I’m sure there is complexity but it seems like StarOffice is a fixed format at this point, and OpenDocument has some previous fixed version that could be targeted.

Not that anyone should expect different, but Apple has not preserved backwards compatibility with their iWork formats and I have several legacy documents that I need to find old versions to open.
How does Ireland define porn for the purpose of age restriction? Is it a "I know it when I see it" standard or something concrete enough that content creators can go right up to the line?
I don’t think the current tools are doing much to the creation of “art”, it’s mostly replacing run of the mill graphic design work like logos and ads and cover art, or maybe some higher end stuff like automating workflows.
IIRC not for Word file formats. Usually only the previous version would definitely convert, any older and things started breaking. And it would always save in the newest version by default so everyone else has to update to edit your file (there were free readers, but they were separate programs and I don't know how popular they were).

That won't work. Trademarks are a lot harder to establish -- it's not just automatic from the moment you publish it as with copyright. You have to first start using it, then always mention it's a trademark when using it (with the TM or R symbols for example), then wait for it to catch on, then file with the government some paperwork. (Iirc, exact process is probably similar but different, but the point is it's a lot more involved)

Trademark is intended to protect the holder from being impersonated, not from losing revenue from selling content.... So it's a lot easier to redistribute copies of trademarked work as long as you make it clear you are not affiliated with the trademark holder, in a manner which a reasonable person would heed.

So for example, if a piece of art is trademarked by Disney, and it is well known by the public, and I print a copy and put it in front of my shop, a reasonable observer might this my shop is owned, operated, or endorsed by Fisney. So that's not OK.

If instead I sell copies of that art in my shop, and make it clear to everyone I sell it to that I am in no way affiliated with Disney and this is totally unauthorized by Disney, I'm probably fine.

Trademarks are also industry specific. That's why Apple Records and Apple Computer both exist -- as long as a reasonable person could not confuse them, it's OK.

In short, trademarks are very very different from copyrights. They protect different activities.

In fact I should not have used the phrase trademarked work. A work (like an image or movie or novel or software program) does not get trademarked. The character, slogan, logo, product name, company name, brand name, color scheme, etc used therein to identify the brand, is what is trademarked. Very different.

I will add more examples, this time to illustrate copyright, which works basically the opposite : Suppose mickey mouse were not trademarked. Then while it would be illegal to redistribute verbatim copies of a recent Mickey mouse picture authored by Disney, as well as any modified remixed versions based on that verbatim picture, it would be perfectly legal to draw totally new art involving the same character as long as it was completely new without referring to the copyrighted work, because coypright protects the right of Disney to make money off distributing that picture they made, and they did not make or contribute to making your mickey drawing, and while you are using a character they came up with, in the absence of trademark, copyright isn't intended to protect the public from being confused as to who they are dealing with as trademark is.

IANAL this is based on decades of amateur interest in IP law.

> From January 1994 to June 2023—through both bull and bear markets—the passive S&P 500 Index outperformed every major hedge fund strategy by over 2.8 percentage points in annualized return.

Buffet didn't get "really lucky." The likelihood of a hedge fund beating the S&P 500 over a 10 year period is quite low. He would've been really unlucky to lose that bet.
One of my "culture shock" from game dev industry was the number of professional artists who paint with Clip Studio Paint but use .psd as exchangeable format[1].

[1]: Of course .psd isn't an exchangeable format. It's proprietary. But just like your friend's case, CSP can kinda read/write .psd, while Photoshop can't read .clip at all.
This seems technically impressive, and I wish you good luck.

I personally prefer apps that do one thing well. I don't like "super" apps that does everything. I like separate tools, and not a Swiss army knife.

This is kind of why I detest apps like WeChat; even before taking into account the privacy considerations, from a user perspective it does chat, social media, payments etc, and I dislike it for that reason. WhatsApp too seems to be headed in that direction (atleast where I'm from).

And I also prefer tools that allow seamless data exchange with other tools. Sort of like the Unix philosophy.

Great! Another walled garden.

I hope this doesn't happen, but what if you go bust? Will the user lose all their data? Or what if, for whatever reason a team decides to move off your platform? Is there data export capabilities? You better have export capabilities if you want commercial entities to even consider your product.

Also, I feel the Free tier has slightly more features than your Pro tier (the former has unlimited members, for example).

Nevertheless, I wish you good luck.
If anything, the AI image-generation movement proves just how highly society values the work of the artist, since we now have tech companies dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into training models to approximate their work.
As a mint user myself, welcome to the land of peace :) , after the pesky issues of Ubuntu.

I would like to share how I handle mint-unaware software systems.

As a kind of workaround, to get Docker to work, you would find the equivalent of Ubuntu for your Mint Version. Mint itself is based on Ubuntu LTS versions.

For ex: Linux Mint 21 is based on Ubuntu 22.04. So packages for Jammy Jellyfish work pretty well for Linux Mint 21. You can add the apt repo for Jammy Jellyfish in Mint.

Considering Mint has had a significant mindshare in Linux for quite sometime, it would be great if the major software providers make it easy to install on Mint.

But it would be too much of a stretch for minor players or open source providers to support so many flavours. The above workaround is a win-win all around.
Heh, you're quite right, I just saw "Ontario, CA" and made a bad assumption. :D
I have a story about that, from the movie producer Fred Zinneman.

He was working on a movie and cast some paraplegics. One when asked said it was an accident, but didn't want to talk. Fred eventually got the story out of him.

He had been a paratrooper in WW 2. His parachute didn't open. But he landed in a big tree. Shaken, bruised, scratched up, and so on, but basically fine.

Climbing out of the tree he fell, and broke his neck.

It's the landing that does it, not the fall.

Compared to many tech people here who maintain a website page for 6 figure salaries?

few of us are saving the world. And it turns out saving the world doesn't pay well either (just look at teacher salaries. I guess educating the future doesn't benefit society). Always found it such a weird angle to demean artists while literal billon dollar corporations profit off of exploiting them. So it's not like people don't value certain kinds of art.
I've always wished they had called it "simulated intelligence." That would set expectations more appropriately.
You mention media publicizing warning shots. Does that really work at all?

Most of the reporting I see is half-dismissive: [facial recognition is a risk but what are you gonna do? it can't be bad to fight crime.] This goes for everything. And it rarely results in effective control.

Internal practice in biology or chemistry labs kinda does - but takes a long time, and then accidents still happen.

NTSB accident investigations: Is there another field where each accident is taken as seriously as there? And step-wise improvement does not sound like a good solution for self-reproducing agents.
I personally don't care about this too much, I just buy a lot more tools and other instruments from China because the metric system is a better and simpler to use and their tools are starting to get better and better all the time.

I've seen plenty of videos of other American craftsmen deciding to go metric voluntarily because dealing with fractions is for chumps and they also want access to a wider range of tools.

I think it's a loss for America...and it is stubbornness just adapt and our whole species can more easily move forwards together.
Does this mean that if, for example, a court rules that I cannot train an image generation model on copyrighted material, I can train it on AI-generated images?
Use WAGO terminal blocks (2020) [video]
I'm trying to find some robust connectors for portable electronics and ran across this. it's a low-key sales pitch, but these do have many professional features beyond classic screw terminals. I'd be curious what people would recommend for a portable music instrument I'm building like a boom box. I'm considering classic locking Molex, but am I missing something else elegant and effective?
> The problem is that laypeople don't know PL terminology. It's incumbent on PL people to explain using words that people understand what they are trying to say. Those words that people understand can be made clear (but maybe not robust or precise) but it takes a really excellent command of language to do so.

This is the perfect description of why "a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors" is such a meme-worthy statement. There's pretty much nobody who knows what a "monoid" or "endofunctor" is that needs the concept explained to them in the first place.
If sure they would do it if you offered to pay for it.
The 'Afghanistan Papers' are informative - with some obvious analogs to the Pentagon Papers, it was a publication of internal military assessments in Afghanistan. [1] We assessed victory as impossible to achieve, and an increasingly large percent of all money spent on Afghanistan (as in > 40%) was ending up lost to corruption, and often going straight to the Taliban. And of course the Taliban were well integrated into the forces we were training. See - e.g. the death of General Greene in Afghanistan.

And the Taliban were inflicting a higher casualty rate on "us" (including pro-US Afghan forces), than we were on them. And "we" (only American forces) suffered casualties each and every year, including during the final withdrawal. The number of our casualties was directly reflected by size of the force there - few people, few casualties, lots of people, lots of casualties. We were losing. The years of propaganda about making progress in the country was all fabricated and cynical lies, as usual.

Basically Vietnam and Afghanistan suffered the exact same issue, that you're sidestepping. Without massive foreign interference Afghanistan was going to be ruled by the Taliban, which it now is. And without massive foreign interference, Vietnam was going to be communist, which it now is. The cost is not only in lives, but also financial. Afghanistan cost upwards of $2 trillion. Well and I also think we shouldn't just count wounded as write-offs. We're much better at keeping people alive, but somebody coming back with no limbs, or PTSD so bad that they're destined to find themselves on the street, are also costs rivaling death.

>And they’re not police, so of course they’re not held to that standard

That's a strong claim given that Palantir has sold and deployed so called "predictive policing" technology to the police forces of New Orleans[1] (without city council knowledge, so much for the accountability) and even directly advertises itself as a defense company[2]. Their revenue is overwhelmingly contract with national governments, again mostly for police or defense work. That's not how you, I or most Fortune 500 companies do business.

Yeah, as I see myself using my phone less and less I feel that an SE form factor would be a lot more convenient to me.

Because of remote work I am almost always close to my MBP, my Air, or a tablet. Car infotainment screens are good enough nowadays, and I don't need a giant screen to hail an Uber or paying something.

Giant screens are for me an habit I got when I used to commute hours everyday in a car or bus, it doesn't make too much sense nowadays if I really think about it.

It is strange two phones have been found, but not the door. Most of the Cedar Hills/Beaverton area is houses and shops with sporadic green spaces that aren’t that large in comparison. It is possible the door fell into a green space, but the odds are it did not. I imagine it is in someone’s backyard, but it is January in rainy Oregon. People aren’t doing yard work right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t found until Spring when someone goes out to their backyard and discovers it.

It would be amusing if it fell into the lake on Nike Campus. It is fairly shallow, but if it was in the middle, it might not be noticed for a long time.
AFAIK, the only AWS instances with AMD GPUs are g4ad with the Radeon Pro V520 (Navi 12). They don't have official support for ROCm.
I'm kind of confused - you've claimed that Google's AI was broken, but cite an anecdote over ChatGPT?

Regardless, even if these cases did happen often enough, it's erroneous to assume that this is something universal (i.e. can be applied to all generative AI models) or intentional. Said models are vastly smaller than the sizes of their training datasets, so it's more or less impossible for all the data to be stored verbatim. Some aspects may appear to look like memorization if the piece of data reappears many times in the dataset - in those cases, the algorithm has a really strong incentive to recite that data. This reduces the effectiveness and is considered an artifact that needs to be corrected, not some underlying idea of AI.

The way these algorithms work is public knowledge, there's not really any black boxes in the hands of OpenAI that would be relevant here. Considering that, I'm really doubtful that these claims can be easily supported.
That's just incorrect information. There is a bid, which needs to go through a variety of functions to succeed. Also, it's not a bid by Japan. It's a bid by Nippon Steel. Just clearing up the hogwash here.
Named after US Steel found Elbert Gary, back when "Gary" was almost exclusively a surname. Later, a burgeoning young actor named Frank Cooper needed to change his professional name to avoid a conflict with other Frank Coopers in the industry, and his agent suggested the name of her hometown, to give him some blue collar cred. "Gary Cooper" became a household name and people have been naming their children "Gary" ever since.
40k cap tables of VC backed companies in a variety of industries and verticals is valuable. If you sat in a room with this data for a few days I'm sure any smart person could think of interesting ways to monetize it. I believe this has occurred at Carta and the truth will come out, to Carta's detriment.
Ironically, there's a massive scandal with WoTC right now for doing this. They say they aren't using AI, the majority doesn't believe them due to artifacts only AI would produce for backgrounds.
All humans have the same right to the moon. Some are just better at asserting those rights. Cry all you want but if someone wants to pay to have their grave dug on the lunar surface, you have no right to stop them.
>You could equivalently produce the same works from searching thru the digits of pi.

in the same way you can brute force an MD5 Hash if you had a few centuries, I guess. I don't think "monkey's making Shakespeare" is a good metric for when to determine if a piece of art is unique enough to be scraped.

Tracing is looked down upon in the art community and this feels way too close to tracing if they just have these images in a database ready to reference. You can't store copyrighted movies nor music on such private databases (one of the few times I will ever utter the words "thank you DMCA"), I don't see why art pieces would be exempt.
I read this for the first time last year and it far exceeded my expectations. Some tips for reading

- use something with footnotes to explain the copious literary references to earlier works

- but also don’t get hung up on the references, they’re not crucial to the story

- do try to get into the rhythm of the iambic pentameter, it really makes some of the poetic phrases shine

Even if you’re familiar with the traditional Genesis story, there will be tons of surprises, both amusing (ex. the angels inventing artillery in their war on heaven) and poignant (ex. Adam and Eve’s briefly contemplating suicide rather than bear children into a cursed world)
