Businesses don't exist in vacuum, they are always maniacally monitoring how fast or slowly consumers buy up all their inventory of that particular item or grocery.

You should stop acting like everybody isn't watching everybody else in the pursuit of maxiumum result with minimum effort. Even you are doing so right now by looking up at what 'the other side' (businesses) are doing and trying to politically ostracise 'the other side'.

I said consumers in my OP just because they are a largest group of people, because it also includes business owners, they too are consumers! I further believe the largest group of people always has the lion share of input in a phenomenon.

But of course when a business owner arrives on their premises in the morning and stops wearing the hat of the consumer, they will too be subject to impulsivity by making a impulse purchase of some item from their supplier (based on data, or even more probably gut instinct that it would sell), and the supplier does the same with the farmer, or the raw material procurer etc. etc.

Everybody is watching everybody else, they see that impulsivity pays rewards so they start acting impulsively too, this affects and spreads among the population very evenly regardless of social class, the higher classes impulsivity and impulsive purchases just makes the news while the lower classes doesn't.

Yeah a possible upsell or doesn't have to be if this service is actually useful to anyone out there. We will potentially start charging a small fee (dependent on so many other factors, but hey you'll be getting an actual human expert in this age of automation to speak to eitherways) on this months from now - we haven't decided or thought of anything further as we don't know yet if people feel this is enough of a pain to be open to solutions, as obviously one can do it themselves to but at what cost of time?

any other feedback you may have on such a service or legitimate places to find users this can help would also be appreciated!
The author is speaking about nations, though. As in huge collectives of people.

If a tiny sliver of the elite rolls around in gold, but the average person is poor (and Russian peasants were very poor, indeed until today, the average Russian is among the poorest people of European ancestry), I would argue that the nation isn't wealthy.
Yes, I like to draw (I'm awful at it though).

The other day I saw a skilled artist on social media saying that it feels pointless after AI, and I found it really sad.
Maybe; maybe not.

I have experienced working with people who seemed far more interested in tinkering with the Smalltalk IDE than work on the mundane tasks needed to complete the project. They preferred tinkering to work ;-)
Would changing the seed affect generation much? Even though beam search depends on the seed, the llms woul still be generating good probability distributions on the next word to select. Maybe a few words would change but don't think the overall meaning would
>But we are allowed to use copyrighted content

Well, not exactly. Certain uses are fair. The question is does OpenAI's use count as fair. I don't think your immediate response comes close to addressing that question despite your conviction it does otherwise.

Also, clothing designs are copyrightable. The conviction expressed by some participants in this debate is exhausting in light of their familiarity with actual copyright law.
With that whole harvard plagiarism debacle, I must say this is the new normal, copyright and accreditation is a thing of the past. The only way forward is plagiarism and outsourcing your work, the only ones who will make the money will be the ones who offer the quickest way of offering the work, no matter its quality. A world for AI to AI. As morals erodes, 20 years from now, there will be no instagram/tik tok/facebook, it will be machine generated from current events that may or may not happen, nobody will know a hallucination from reality. You might be able to go to a journalism hub. but those also use AI generation to focus on the most clickbaity title.

Ask HN: Human) Parents' native – language as it pertains to AI
I have noticed that very influential people in certain domains THAT have a very good (spatial?) mental model of how to interpret certain things mentally where others cannot, are from other

TLDR:

Are there neurological [mappings|dynamics|whatever] which are influenced by a Human's Brain Development based on their born language (the language of their parents) ((the language they first encounter as brains)) - which provide a better understanding of logic/algos in computation?

Specifically, if we are talking about spatial maths - not a single student in the US could describe a vector DB, use or structure (I cannot) - but MANY french folks can...

My question:

If you are born to a p[language] family -- are your outcomes in understanding math, based on this initial 'indoctrination*' to the native language logic?

The premise is that those who were raised in a base of Romance Languages vs those raised in Germanic languages (as first contact with language) are much better at AI spatial programming versus those raised first in a Germanic language...

I think this functions how the brains ability to evolve in a Romance Language model for human development will fair better on the economic scale vs those first on Germanics - who will be technicians.
By the way, you can also get a little 1000-2000 watt inverter on Amazon for less than $200. It can run off your car battery. Great for emergencies, cheaper than a generator for short term usage. I've used mine to run a stick welder and air compressor in the middle of nowhere.
@teh_klev That's interesting. I thought I also remembered the DSU being branded with BT ISDN logo, but perhaps I am mistaken, it was a long time ago now!
Yes, and while I am deeply skeptical of many MBA programs' value, the work requirement is one very good thing about b-schools (note I limited my comment to prospective lawyers).

I don't mind a major that, by itself, has limited financial utility. My own degree is laughably unprofitable. In my experience, you can accomplish the exercise of developing excellent research and writing habits, time management, etc. using just about any degree. In hiring, I also like to see someone who is more than their job, who has interests and motivations beyond the blinders of their profession. But, to your broader point, _thinking about what you want to accomplish_, even if it ends up changing completely, is better than just marking the box of "going to college".
> So instead of saying "no harm done", then maybe its more accurate to say "same harm as a other humans being inspired by your work".

I don't disagree with you. But then that is a completely different issue, and has nothing specifically to do with AI, but rather the tradeoff between the benefits of releasing your work to the public, and the potential competition it might inspire.
I don't think any of the large metro areas have shrunk in population, certainly none significantly. But those metros (St Louis, Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, etc) have stagnated or grown much more slowly than healthier metros. They have suburbanized a mostly constant population, leading to much higher infrastructure construction and maintenance costs, while devaluing the real estate tax base that supported existing infrastructure in the central cities.
Just one role?

When I'm in unemployed mode I try to knock out a job application every day. Granted I'm pretty lazy, so it's more like 2-3 job applications a week, on a good week.

Have a template for your CV and cover letter. Then just tailor it to each job application.

Be less selective about what technologies they ask for. If the job wants {Java, Spring boot, postgres, microservices, Jenkins, git} and you only know {Java, MySql} go for it anyway! Sometimes I look back on old job ads that I ended up working for, and they look nothing like what my job was: (blockchain? internet-of-things? What were they thinking!)

Don't bother thinking about why you got knocked back. It could have been any number of reasons:

* Maybe they saw your exp and figured you wouldn't settle for junior's salary.

* If you did settle for a low salary, maybe they figured they wouldn't be able to keep you long, because you'd quickly move elsewhere for a better salary.

* Maybe you were one of about 10 candidates.

* Maybe you're resume was screened by HR or someone who didn't understand your technical worth based on your writing.

It's a numbers game.

I work in video games. My Lead QA recently accosted me regarding the low-spec machine being unusable. (it's an 11th Gen i5, 16GiB Ram and an Intel ARC A750).

He wanted me to get a better machine.

I politely declined indicating that this is the low spec machine, he made a fuss and I said if we can't make it run on that then we should stop making video games.

For context: The weak part for us was the CPU; the ARC A750 is a pretty poor GFX card but it should never be unplayable, it's around RTX 2060-2070 in speed, not unreasonable for a low spec machine.

It's very easy just to say yes to creeping performance demands, even in video games that are historically highly optimised. (obvious caveat here: sometimes things are not well optimised and hugely neglected)
QR codes are very easy to scan in-browser, but 1D barcodes are significantly more challenging. ~75% of the cannabis industry deals with Metrc, which forces companies to place 1D Code-128 barcode tags on everything they grow or manufacture. As a result, I've spent a lot of time investigating ways to scan these barcodes with a phone camera in a cross-browser webpage.

Ultimately, after much experimentation, the unavoidable conclusion is that the optical scanning solutions are junk. Connecting a crappy $20 HID bluetooth barcode scanner to a phone is so crazily better at scanning a 1D barcode than even the most massaged optical barcode scanning libraries. Industry workers that deal with these barcodes don't even bother with phone camera scanning, it's way too slow and temperamental.
I do this already. It's a wonderful part of life, it's just not enough to cure some of the internal stuff I have going on. The treatment is helping a lot, it's just a long slow process, I have a lot of junk to work through.

That's not true. There are battery recycling plants going bankrupt because the expected surge of dead EV's didn't materialize. EV's are staying on the road longer than expected, and the batteries are being reused rather than recycled or thrown out.

I totally feel this comment, myself being a corporate drone that has to deal with this software.

Between disk encryption, anti virus, IT asset management, data custody tracking, etc; my PC is as slow as molasses.

Unfortunately I think its slow in a different way that low-spec machines are slow. Mine is very slow on IO ops, but I have 32GB of RAM and a 20-core i7, so plenty of resources available even after all the BS.
While I don't doubt that you (you?) plundered a lot of wealth such as the Koh-i-Noor, you made a lot more money by selling industrial products to willing customers. This is what set you apart from, say, Russia of the 1800s, which was unable to produce any sophisticated stuff for the nascent world market.

Let's say I develop an AI that is trained on all of the software IDEs in existence and then make the AI available for people to generate their own IDE from a set of prompts, like "jetbrains python" or "visual studio". As the developer of the AI model am I at all accountable if people use specific prompts to generate copycats of proprietary IDEs?

One method that solves 99% of your control problems is the Ziegler-Nichols method [1]. It's a shame it's not taught more often.

No need to model your system, just increase the P gain until the system oscillates naturally. Measure the oscillation period, and then refer to the tables at [1] to choose the P, I, D gains depending on how you like your system response to look like.

You can't just write an unlicensed harry potter book, or make an unlicensed sequel to Fast and Furious. Why would you think it's broadly permissible to rip off someone's comics (which have an identifiable style but also characters, etc).
How many books can you write per second?

How how many books per second can you read to influence and change your personal style?

I don't think any person who actually has worked on anything creative in their life would compare a personal style to a model that can output in nearly any style at extreme speeds. And even if you're inspired by a specific author, invariably what happens is it becomes mix of yourself + those influences, not a damn near-copy.

With visual mediums it's even worse, because you have to take the time [months, years] to specialize in that specific medium/style.

Functional programmers have been in a massive propaganda campaign to actively paint optimization not just as “usually not necessary”, but actually as a negative thing.

Based on what? FP advocates like performance as much as anyone else.

They need this because the performance characteristics of pure functional programming is pretty dogshit.

Research languages like ATS show that functional programming doesn't come at the price of performance.
Assuming he uses the zero interest money to do austerity, it could work, at least in theory. Except Erdogan never intended to do austerity. He just wanted to borrow money at low interest. I admit that I misunderstood his intentions.
If 86-DOS was copied it would be easy to tell -- you could probably read all the source code for both products in a single day. Even reading the decompiled code wouldn't be hard.

It's no secret that 86-DOS was modelled on CP/M and designed to be compatible.

But it would still have probably been easier to write it from scratch then to copy it. Also the Z80 and 8086 are not similar enough that it would make sense to directly translate one from the other in general (one is an 8bit CPU and the other is 16bit).

The concept of a "good contract" can be argued to death. I don't think that argument needs to overwhelm my point: this is an incoherent contract. It doesn't require any expertise to say so.
> I think these kinds of studies are of limited use. I don't believe raw GPT4 is that helpful in the enterprise.

I'm not so sure about this. A lot of work in and for especially large organizations is writing text that often doesn't even get read, or is at most just glanced at. LLMs are great at writing useless text.
Storing a copy of the content isn't the relevant part. It's what that copy is used for.

In a search engine, it's used to direct traffic to the original author. In Midjourney, it's used to create an alternative to the original author.
Well, you'd have to move a whole lot of code generation from load time to compile time, including the stuff based on db layout. So quite a bit of work.

I do think it's worth remembering there's a difference between "legal" and "good".

It's entirely legal for me to leave the pub every time it comes up to my round. It's legal for me to get into a lift and press all the buttons.

It's not unreasonable I think for people to be surprised at what is now possible. I'm personally shocked at the progress in the last few years - I'd not have guessed five years ago that putting a picture online might result in my style being easily recreated by anyone for the benefit mostly of a profitable company.
> As the IP owners are approximately "everyone" in law

That makes no sense. If I write a book by myself, post part of it on my website and OpenAI ingests part of it - how does that make anyone besides me myself and I an "owner" of the IP?
I think a model that would make more sense is to punish bad behavior in the form of infringement, so if someone monetizes an AI output that infringes on someone's copyright/trademark, then go after that person. Otherwise we are going to be completely stuck for the sake of some kind of outdated mentality around intellectual property.
The artist in the article clearly states that his work was free to use only if it was not used to make a profit, those were the terms of their license. In the artist's opinion, OpenAI violated that license by training their tool on their work and then selling that tool.

This artist doesn't complain about work similar to their own being generated, and their artwork is very clearly not clothing.

I think we can begin more BSD-like. Take it, use it, do whatever you want with it even if it's commercial.

> datasets to be more ethical

Not what I am personally concerned with. Law is still ambiguous in this respect, no rulings have actually said (afaik) training on copyrighted content without permission is infringing. It's quite apparent at this stage that models that train on copyrighted content without approval of the content creator will always out scale those that do not.

If permission becomes a prerequisite, I began to think that free-as-in-freedom LLMs will likely need to be made people who can ignore copyright either because they're really good at anonymizing themselves or they live in places that do not enforce Western copyrights (Russia, China, various Latam countries). Once copyright becomes a concern, the government gets another tool to sic its dogs on you, and copyright is a very convenient way to destroy an enterprising FOSS LLM dev's life without looking tyrannical.
I was kind of upset when someone popped in to advertise something. I have no clue why anyone would pay for a screenshot tool, they're built into every modern OS.
We shouldn't hold individual humans and ML models to the same standards, because ML models themselves are products capable of mass production and individual humans are not even remotely at the same scale.

If you write that book, chances are you will gain some fans that are also fans of other authors in that genre.

If ML models write that genre, they can flood that genre so full that human artists won't be able to complete.

It's not even a remotely equivalent scenario
