The difference is that AI generation tools provide a lot of potential economic value, while breaking in to someones house doesn't. There will be a lot of pressure for governments to allow this to go on since it puts them at advantage over other countries.
I feel like Napster started it but quickly other options like bittorrent and limewire took over within months.

I never did understand how they made money worth acquiring. I guess there were banner ads right?

Makes sense. Photoshop has had content-aware-fill for over a decade. That counts as AI as much as any diffuser does. I don't think those images should have their copyright invalidated.
> Damn, he paid Alaska $70 for baggage fee?

Based on https://www.alaskaair.com/content/travel-info/baggage/checke... it seems like that would be just two checked bags (not two extra bags, two bags!) and is irrelevant of your seat class? Be lucky the poor bloke didn't need a third bag, that's when it gets really expensive.

I guess I just have to chalk this up to yet another case of oddities in American flights I can't relate to.

"People seem to forget most of what they read, and they mostly don’t notice" - https://notes.andymatuschak.org/zL33c5cHy4bH7HvMcv2py9H

Linked from "Why books donʼt work" - https://andymatuschak.org/books/ - "Books are easy to take for granted. Not any specific book, I mean: the form of a book. Paper or pixels—it hardly matters. Words in lines on pages in chapters. And at least for non-fiction books, one implied assumption at the foundation: people absorb knowledge by reading sentences. This last idea so invisibly defines the medium that it’s hard not to take for granted, which is a shame because, as we’ll see, it’s quite mistaken."
You’re also my hero. I remember being like… 13 and seeing a copy of MG:S at the store… for PC! I will freely admit it, I hid the copy behind the most boring games on the shelf, and came back and bought it a week later, it was still safely hidden. I distinctly remember the clerk that I paid was quite irritated, almost as if they couldn’t find where I hid it so they could buy it themselves.

In any event, that game, and that port, were a part of my childhood that I will always remember.
Man yet another "tech guru" trying to start up his blind following by not actually saying anything worthwhile but wrapping it up as if it is.

People really feed off their desperation on "influencers" like these. Kinda sad.
> something is AI unless you can prove otherwise.

I think this is rather what pro-AI/spammers are trying to do by flooding platforms, that aren't so successful. People don't give as high scores they do for human generated data, and AI images are still considered a form of spam.

I bet that the timecard application was a 16 bit executable. 32 bit Windows was able to run 16 bit executables using the NT Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM), but 64 bit Windows couldn't.

Wine is however able to run 16 bit executables on 64 bit hosts using their version of NTVDM.

Yes. They have existed for a while. There are always sheep to herd.
"I claim this art was made by this person" "Who?" <gives name> "OK <name>. did you work on this?" "Where are related work products? Are there any? What about invoices? Simultaneous employment?"

The reality is that most legal things are determined by _convincing people of a truth_. Perhaps you can set up a whole scheme to "launder" AI art and attach names to them. And all the papertrail you generate doing this will show up in discovery in some lawsuit and the copyrights all disappear.

Laws are vibes, not code.

I think using a term like "retarded" is pretty craven. You are talking about people who, through no fault of their own, have a much harder life than we will ever know. Rather than craft a better insult, you take the lazy and cruel path.

Not really, but it can be involved for some tasks. 'Muscle Memory' is a bit of a complex thing. It's not so much the firing of the neurons, as much as it is the timing of that firing. Your reaction time is at the ~5ms level. Much longer than the muscles need to move in concert to, say, hit a 3-pointer. Controlling all of that can take place all the way from the brain down to the ganglia of the spinal chord. Drinking a cup of tea while reading will mostly take place before the brain gets a chance to intervene, for example. While riding a bike will involve more of the brain. I want to stress, it's a complex and not well studied area of active research.
I am usually the first to say that Rust evangelists are annoying, but… your argument isn’t valid. That any tool can be dangerous when used wrongly enough is not an argument in favor of or against rust. Additionally, that any given tool might be better for a certain job over any other isn’t an argument for or against other tools more generally.
It is a misconception that Adobe's models have not been trained on copyrighted work. Nobody should be repeating their marketing claims.

Adobe has not shown how they train the text encoders in Firefly, or what images were used for the text-based conditioning (i.e. "text to image") part of their image generation model. They are almost certainly using CLIP or T5, which are trained on LAION2b, an image dataset with the very problems they are trying to address, C4 (a text dataset similarly encumbered) and similar.

I welcome anyone who works at Adobe to simply answer this question of how they trained the text encoders for text conditioning and put it to rest. There is absolutely nothing sensitive about the issue, unless it exposes them in a lie.

So no chance. I think it's a big fat lie. They'd have to have made some other scientific breakthrough, which they didn't.

Using information from https://openai.com/research/clip and https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip, it's possible to investigate the likelihood that using just their stock image dataset, can they make a working text encoder?

It's certainly not impossible, but it's impracticable. On 248m images (roughly the size of Adobe Stock), CLIP gets 37% on ImageNet, and on the 2000m from LAION, it performs 71-80%. And even with 2000m images, CLIP is substantially worse performing than the approach that Imagen uses for "text comprehension," which relies on essentially many billions more images and text tokens.

So, I confess, I'm not sure what your goal is here.

You're not filtering out the click-bait content? You're just changing the thumbnail and title? But you still want to watch the video?

Um. Ok. Now you're wondering if this is valuable enough that others would pay for it?

For me personally, no. I tend to follow specific creators on YouTube, and their title & thumbnail don't matter to me.

I also watch a bunch of random content but a clickbaity yitle and thumbnail are useful signals in selecting what (not) to watch.

But good luck - there must be others out there who feel as you do. If you can find a few thousand of them, and they care enough to throw money at this problem, then you might have a nice little business.
I do find it entertaining to watch the creative world struggle against this unstoppable force. It's the Luddites and the mechanical knitting machines of the early 19th century all over again. The human race never changes. It will undoubtedly end the same way.

The Classic Tetris World Championship is also fantastic and it is fascinating how a 40 year old game just transformed in the last 4 years.

It is an accurate statement.

Linux is a monolithic UNIX-like OS, with all the implications of an accidental design that dates to the late 60s/early 70s.

For starters, it has huge (Linux has MLoCs) TCB. And it is very trusted (undeservedly so) code, as it runs with supervisor privileges.

One bug in these MLoCs is all it takes.

There are far better system architectures out there.

It's not the same thing. These are people who strived their whole lives to learn to draw and paint and make something of their own. It's not just their livelihood being stolen, it's their own work. They aren't saying not to use generative AI to make art, they are saying they don't want their art to be used to train it.

Artists are still needed to make input for AI, they aren't completely replaced by a machine.
It's really easy, "unstoppable" even, to send pirated music files over the internet. It sure was fun to have free music. And yet Napster was sued out of existence, and now the vast majority of people who listen to music pay for it.

And it's way harder to run a pirate AI datacenter than it is to set up a torrent tracker.

Laws will be written, license fees will be paid, and AI will continue to develop but with proper compensation.

This is a good observation, the cards do have different memory bandwidth with the MI210 having more than double the bandwidth via HBM2e.

Note that the comparisons between the two cards (MI210 and A6000) are being made for high throughput workloads, and in this regime the performance is compute bound. So as long as the memory bandwidth is decent (as it is for GDDR6 with 768.0 GB/s) the lower memory bandwidth is not the main bottleneck. There are also other architectural differences so any comparison will ultimately be imperfect, but we found A6000 to be the closest match for the workloads that we cared about (ie high throughput workloads at reasonable latencies).

Also worth noting that there are still more stack optimizations on the table, which again can shift the bottleneck between compute and memory. In those cases it might makes sense to compare with another card with matched memory bandwidth.

Even my very tech illiterate mother knows the difference between a 3rd party app she downloaded and first party Apple apps.

That's one thing I find crazy with these phones. The entire point of a glass back is to look good. But 90% of the times, we never see it because people use back covers.

Seriously, I have yet to find something better than polycarbonate for the phone body. It is durable, lightweight, can make removable covers, and let radio waves go though. So sure, it looks cheap, because it is cheap, which is great because it helps make for lower priced phones. And if you are going to put that phone in a case anyways, who cares about how it looks, you won't even see it.

Metal is nice too, I still prefer that cheap plastic, but at least, it is a durable material. But glass is just stupid.

Now I understand the premium feel. But why not go for fancy composites instead. Carbon fiber, graphene maybe. These are both premium and technically good.
Not just the other important, but the most important.

A safety-friendly language can help, but the system architecture is most important.

As some others have said, matrix is great at this.

I use this ansible playbook to set it all up: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy it supports slack and discord too. There's not a lot it doesn't support actually, it's very good. The one thing I miss a bit is running multiple bridges of the same type on the same account (I have two WhatsApp and telegram numbers for example)

You can also use beeper which is hosted if you don't want to self host. Costs $10 a month. They employ one of the major bridge Devs so they know what they're doing. It's not to be confused with the recent beeper mini that's just for iMessage.

There's also element one from the Devs of matrix but they don't support all services you're looking for.

And yes native clients are available for matrix.

I watched a couple of videos yesterday by musicians using Ableton on their new Apple M3 Max laptops with latest MacOS, talking about how it was dropping audio frames audibly during live performances

I don't think it's safe to assume MacOS would reliably solve your audio latency problem. You may have to experiment.

> I believe it's their PR plan.

... What exactly do you think they planned? The photos show a person's name on an email from an airline.

Are you suggesting they planted a fake phone on the side of a road, with a fake email from the airline about baggage for said airline open on the screen, and then had a hired stooge "find" the phone, and then either (a) make a false claim to the NTSB or (b) have a second stooge impersonate an NTSB officer on camera....?

Or perhaps it's more nefarious than that. Apple bribed a bunch of Boeing workers to be shit at their jobs for the last 24 months with the hopes that a panel would fail eventually; Concurrently they hired dozens upon dozens of stooges to take flights on routes using the previously-hobbled Boeing's, each of them carrying an iPhone in every pocket they have, so that when the inevitable happens they can make it rain iPhones, such that eventually some will land somewhere soft enough to survive the fall, and there will be enough of them that people will just find them on their morning walk...

Maybe the Android owners all got eaten by their respective polar bears so there isn't a story to push?
But it isn't simulated, it's actually some form of intelligence. It is artificial because it doesn't occur in the natural world. The need to call it is "simulated" and the need to call it "spicy autocomplete" come more from sort of all-to-human insecurity than any sort of philosophy of intelligence.
The vast majority listen to ads in order to listen to it for free. Artists make almost nothing on streaming. It completely changed history.
Years ago, when I considered C++ (and discarded it), it seemed that it was hard to write C++ without understanding most of the features. Let's not argue about THAT. But is there now an accepted small subset that can stand alone as a first layer of study and usage? Giving a real understanding of that subset and being able to write in that subset? Any text describes this?

This idea of layers in learning a language seems fundamental to me - (Perl 5 was - still is - amazing for that. Perl 6 / Raku is great but it lost that.)

>pointing the fact that C is an unsafe language.

The implication there is that Rust is safe.

Reality is, it is not.

Rust provides some tools C does not, which can help in writing safe programs. That is about it.

In exchange, it is a relatively young language with all it implies. For instance, there are not yet any successful OSs written in Rust.

Kudos to the authors for actually writing code to change this, instead of evangelizing Rust on HN.

Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to test it out and share such great feedback!

Thrilled about all those developments! More model options as well as link-based GGUF downloads on the way.

On the 7b models: I’m very sorry for the poor experience. I wouldn’t recommend 7b over Q2_K at the moment, unless you’re on a 16GB iPad (or an Apple Silicon Mac!). This needs to be much clearer, as you observed the consequences can be severe. The larger models, and even 3b Q6_K can be crash prone due to memory pressure. Will work on improve handling of low level out-of-memory errors very soon.

Will also investigate the StableLM crashes, I’m sorry about that! Hopefully Testflight recorded a trace. Just speculating, it may be a similar issue to the larger models, due to the higher-fidelity quant (Q6_K) combined with the context length eventually running out of RAM. Could you give the Q4_K_M a shot? I heard something similar from a friend yesterday, I’m curious if you have a better time with that — perhaps that’s a more sensible default.

Re: the overly-protective new chat alert, I agree, thanks for the suggestion. I’ll incorporate that into the next build. Can I credit you? Let me know how you’d like for me to refer to you, and I’d be happy to.

Finally, please feel free to email me any further feedback, and thanks again for your time and consideration!
