Of course it's not. I don't see that I made any such claim.
I'm not seeing where the complaint is defined anywhere above, so we may be talking about completely different things. GP specifically said that the current law is what has caused this problem, and I dispute that. I think there's more to it than that. That doesn't mean the law is perfect, but it doesn't mean it's completely responsible either.

The whole point of a "supplement" is that it's something you can normally get from diet and foods which are already available. If you create some new thing, under the current system you can't just call it a supplement and sell whatever it is, let alone sell it while making medical claims about it. If I buy a head of broccoli at the grocery store, should that need a label on it that describes health benefits when ingested, and this must be approved by the FDA? Or should it be enough that they're selling "broccoli" and it really is "broccoli"?

Also pretty much every supplement I've ever bought has text on the label like "These statements have not been reviewed/approved by the FDA," so there's a chunk of people
That's an interesting contrast, reading about your experience I'm not sure whether I'm doing it right or I'm doing it wrong. Usually when I'm looking for something new to do, I pick and apply to a few positions at most, and if I get a good offer, go with that. Every now and then I also fire some one-off shots if there's a position that sounds extremely interesting, even if it's realistically unlikely to land. Applying to hundreds of positions sounds arduous and hard to manage, how do you do it?
Maybe because it's more relevant? If you see one artist being ripped off, it's sad, but it's an outlier. When you see the entire sector being ripped off, you start paying attention. It helps if you care about the people being ripped off, which most people are capable of, having an instinct for empathy.
Good advice.

I wonder about that, even in the worst ghettos I've ever been in (I'm talking worse than bars on the door, but you have to ask the shopkeeper for what you want through a small hole and drawer) they've had some fruits and other forms of fresh-adjacent food.

I don't know how many people buy them, but a banana seems an easy snack.

I'm a bit confused why the author is unfazed by "eleuthero root" and "cordyceps mushrooms", but puts "nascent iodine" in scare quotes.

Is it not nascent iodine? If no, then what is it? Oh no, it's nail clippings, isn't it. Gwyneth has tricked me yet again!

Edit: Thanks to everyone who replied--I learned something!
The food desert concept is way overblown. They exist to some degree, but a lot of people choose to buy shit food when it would be equally convenient and affordable to buy something good. People walking around with 32oz (~1 liter) soda cups are not unable to find anything else to drink, they're sugar addicts.
Additionally, for several decades Americans have lived in an environment that makes time feel like a precious resource which must be stolen back any way possible, which companies are all too happy to play into with food products that sell themselves chiefly on the idea of convenience. This then shapes the collective palate to prefer processed foods over fresh alternatives.

Also, even when suburbans have decent access to fresh food, it’s often not favored because trips to the supermarket are an ordeal that only happens every ~2 weeks and fresh food doesn’t fare as well on longer timespans like that. Fresh diets work best for those who can walk to their grocer.

A thermostat is not an on/off-controller but a proportional controller. The lower the temperature, the higher the flow rate. At least for thermostatic radiator valves this is true.
If I recall right, it was over Getty Images, who were upset that people were right-clicking their images to save them from the image search (with the watermark) instead of clicking through to the page to be prompted to buy it

So rather than just delist Getty and solve the problem, they decided to make their product objectively worse

I'm not sure how that differs from my response, but sure. You can't really blame these places for dealing with it as best they could, and the cities that don't do that (Seattle) are only rewarded with an increasing share of the problem.
Not sure what your point is. It's well established that soaking nuts and seeds so they begin to sprout is healthier. I realize that it's written with a marketing slant, but it's not wrong.

People who value fresh produce are going to go out of the way to get it. If enough people do this, environments will adapt to that demand. NYC Chinatowns used to be quite poor and discriminated against, but they were still able to establish their own supply chains that provides cheaper and fresher vegetables than anywhere else in the city because vegetables are a quintessential part of Chinese cuisine. Food deserts, like gentrification, is a concept that assumes that demand follows supply, which is the opposite of how things actually play out in real life.

I’m skeptical of this claim.

I'd find it hard to argue against this, or the Penny Arcade's statements, since I'm having trouble understanding their concrete arguments in between the rhetoric. I'd be hesitant to even discuss this in their comment sections or social media channels.

One might ask: Under what circumstances would AI art be acceptable then?

For example, does it really matter if these models are created by large corporations? I don't see what the legal or ethical difference would be if it was an individual who created such a model.

Is it relevant whether their artworks were used in the training data? Well, what if a new model that is trained only on public domain photos, videos and artworks turns out to be just as capable? What if a future model is able to imitate an art style after seeing merely one or two examples of it?

It might just be a matter of time until such a model is developed. Would it be alright then? If not, why?

(Personally, I think it's the responsibility of the AI model user to use the AI art legally and ethically, as if the user made the image themselves.)

I just clicked around on some apps on my iPhone 13 that I haven’t used in ages and they all opened in under 1 second. It looks like they basically open instantly but some make a network request to load the first page.
But that is the exact problem with AI - 99% of the time it's good, so your skills atrophy, but then there's that one percent of the time it decides the reflective side of that 18-wheeler is the sun and drives you into it. That's very different from, say, a compiler, which as a programmer I completely trust to turn my source code into machine code accurately.
> We're the number one threat to peace and stability since 2003, and only getting worse.

As a non-American, I can't believe someone is so self-loathing to think this...yeah sure, America is the biggest threat to peace and stability, not Russia, not Iran, not Hamas...it's definitely America.
That kind of text is valuable as a signaling exercise - the author is willing to claim the text as indicating their actual beliefs. Writing it with AI would actually damage the author's credibility since it's no longer their words - although this shouldn't be a problem if the author is carefully checking the text every single time to make sure it represents their position.

The effect would be even worse the first time the author missed a mistake from the AI and had to walk it back publicly. Nobody's going to trust anything they put in writing for a while after that.
Wouldn't it be better to model imperfections separately rather than rely on PID oscillations? I can see how this can easily fail and cause some dramatic and unnatural camera movements.

side note continuation here. I had to GPT my text to see what it would do.

If someone I know is interested in exploring psychedelics, it's important to understand that the results and consequences can vary widely. It could be a profoundly positive and life-changing experience, it might be a terrifying journey with long-term effects, or it could simply be a fun but relatively inconsequential time. My goal is to promote safe practices and reduce the chances of negative outcomes.

Fortunately, there are numerous excellent modern websites and resources available to educate people and minimize potential harm. I highly recommend reading "How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan, especially if you're navigating the world of psychedelics, as it provides valuable insights from a 50-year-old perspective in a largely underground culture. Even experiences with seemingly experienced "shamans" may have questionable practices.

I base my approach on the best knowledge I've acquired through research, personal experiences, attending scientific conferences on the subject, and reading reliable sources. I also trust my inner circle to keep me grounded and ensure I'm not spreading misinformation. It helps that I'm in my mid-30s, health-conscious, and have a stable life by the standards of my peers. However, I acknowledge that there may be advice that hasn't been thoroughly studied by science, and I'm open to being corrected.

I'm not here to convince you to trust me blindly. Please do your own research; I'm just a stranger on the internet. If we were to meet in person, I'd gladly engage in a thorough discussion, answer your questions, inquire about your health and history, and provide advice on the conditions and environment for your psychedelic experience. Follow-up is crucial because psychedelics can deeply impact an individual, and I feel a strong responsibility to promote safe practices.

In areas where I lack expertise, such as women's physiology and perspectives, I defer to books or groups that can provide guidance. Many aspects of mental health in the context of psychedelics remain uncharted territory, and caution and additional precautions should be exercised when dealing with pre-existing mental or physiological conditions.

The casual advice often found at events like raves or on platforms like Reddit can be unreliable and incomplete. Phrases like "Just take a heroic dose!" or "I'm on SSRIs and it's fine!" are not safe guidelines. Psychedelics are powerful tools that demand respect and responsibility.

Ultimately, my original comment was about the positive development of legal and organizational frameworks for spreading best practices. If such initiatives were to occur in my current state, which has not decriminalized or embraced psychedelics as a form of therapy, I would consider making it my full-time job or assisting in running a training facility

I don't understand why you're confused, but I think it's linguistics.

If you write a book by yourself and post parts on your website and they ingest it, you are the copyright holder of that specific IP, and when I post this specific comment to Hacker News I am the copyright holder of this specific IP.

In aggregate you and I together are the copyright holders of that book sample and this post, and I don't know any other way of formulating that sentence, though it sounds like you think I'm trying to claim ownership of your hypothetical book while also giving you IP ownership of this post? But that's not my intent.

I'm saying I get rewards when I use PayPal (because everything ends up on a credit card anyway with added privacy/control benefits compared to using the card directly), so a solution where I don't get those rewards ends up being second-class. I also haven't had issues with PayPal that [many] others have, so there could certainly be a scenario where that changes.

No, copyright only makes sense insofar that it provides a net positive value for society: that it promotes/protects more creativity leading to economic output than it prevents.

That is, does the amount of creative/economic output dissuaded by allowing AI (preventing people who would not be able to or not want to create art if they couldn't get paid) exceed the creative/economic output of letting people develop and use such AIs?

A warning to others: This is far more contested, and more nuanced, than this post makes it out to be. I believe this narrative as stated would not fly without lots of debate and pushback in any mainstream economics department today.

Among many other things, the recent history (of inflation, recession, and economic growth over the past 4 years) is completely wrong: stimulus was used during the COVID recession (early 2020), and the recession was very brief as a result. In the US we have had steady and strong growth continuously outside a short drop around March 2020. Inflation set in around a year later (due to many factors, not monetary or fiscal policy alone -- but again, this is complex and highly contested). Interest rates started being raised seriously two years later (spring 2022). Economic growth has continued throughout this process aside from the early-mid 2020 lockdown shock. There was never a time when "interest rates [were] hiked even though the economy was trashed by lockdowns."
The simple fix is another AI that checks the output for copyright violation.

The issue here is models generating copy written work verbatim.

People claiming that training on copyrighted work is a violation of copyright (its not) have no legal legs to stand on. They are purposelessly muddying concepts though to make it seem like it is. However any competent judge is going to see right through this.

Knuth makes this argument more clearly elsewhere, in Computer Programming as an Art:

"Another important aspect of program quality is the efficiency with which the computer's resources are actually being used. I am sorry to say that many people nowadays are condemning program efficiency, telling us that it is in bad taste. The reason for this is that we are now experiencing a reaction from the time when efficiency was the only reputable criterion of goodness, and programmers in the past have tended to be so preoccupied with efficiency that they have produced needlessly complicated code; the result of this unnecessary complexity has been that net efficiency has gone down, due to difficulties of debugging and maintenance. The real problem is that programmers have spent far too much time worrying about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times; premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming."

If you have a holistic definition of efficiency, then it might make sense to use a performant language for the performance critical parts of a wider system, but more productive languages elsewhere. You might make a similar argument about languages that add some productivity overhead to achieve stronger guarantees of safety or correctness.
OAuth2/OIDC isn't enough. There's many cases where they're not an option at all; outside of (internet-connected) browser flows, you need more solutions. They add a ton of complexity and are difficult to implement correctly. They don't support other protocols. The implementation of each is specific to the provider ("scopes" is application-specific, etc). You aren't guaranteed to get all the functionality (grant types), assuming all parties have implemented them. And it doesn't provide a standard for MFA, challenges, recovery, secret storage, secure login to the IdP, etc. It really only covers a single use-case. When people do implement that use-case, they often do so improperly, leading to gaping security holes.

So we need more standards. But those standards need to come in three varieties: 1) new standards, 2) simpler designs, 3) guidelines for implementations. There are solutions that exist today, that have no standard. There are "standard" designs today, but they're overcomplicated. And we need better guides on how to implement standards so that users (and developers) have an easier time using the solutions.
