I would be against those software licenses as well. Where I make my own code public I try to use MIT license whenever possible. If I don't want people to copy my code ... I don't make it public. It's not that complicated.

Fully open source software has probably created more economic value in the past 60 years than anything else in human history. We should be trying to share more knowledge with each other, not come up with new and more complicated ways to restrict it.
Still have that book ;)

I think so. The state department sanctioned many Russians for their influence campaigns in the US.
That may be, but IMHO its impossible to be completely neutral on this issue. All analysis is somewhat compromised and biased based on subjective weightage to historical facts, etc.
Apple was just fine building all those platform SDKs for macOS without charging people to write apps for it. Why should iOS be any different?

The servers do not cost 30% of all sales on the platform. Not even close.

But none of that matters. Very few businesses set their prices based on how much it costs them to provide their goods or services. They charge what the market will bear. The problem is that there is no "iOS app distribution market"; Apple controls it, 100%, so they can set prices wherever they want, without regard to competition.
Thats more of a thieve problem facing the consequnces of their actions.

But you've just described the dynamics of every single class action lawsuit. It doesn't matter that the individual devs have little interest, the lawyers have huge interest because winning a sizable class action for a lawyer is equivalent to a having a startup that hits.
Nope. Unlike you, I am very sympathetic to people who have suffered from countries with imperialistic behaviour. I just don't restrict the list of such countries to only one entry.

> This only makes it harder for open, non-profit models to compete with large corporations in making AI models.

This is not a good argument to not pay people. Minimum wage and labour laws make it harder to compete, but they are still a good thing for society.

We don’t let companies use unpaid labour of non consenting others in different cases just to make it easier to compete.
Yes. If realloc(ptr, 0) returns a null pointer, you don't know whether that's due to a failure (in which case ptr is still valid) or whether it's the happy case (ptr was freed, and the zero-sized request for replacing it produced a null). Thus you don't know whether ptr is still a valid pointer. If it's valid and you treat it as invalid (hands off), that's a leak. If it's invalid and you treat it as valid (free it), that's a double free.

This is why I really hope some highly popular consumer product (smartphone, smart glasses etc.) starts having high quality LiDAR sensors so we have a lot of 3D training data.
As someone not in ML but curious about the field this is really interesting. Intuitively indeed it would be natural to aim for some sort of inspectable composition of models.

Is there specific tooling to inspect intermediate layers or will they be unintelligible for humans?
You just described most games.
By imposition of the platform. If people could choose to use apples SDK for 30% or react native 3000 revenge of the javascript for free, they would not bat an eye and go for the latter.
Though I realize it's currently offline, can I just say how refreshing it is to see the mention of a live ssh demo with no authentication needed? I wish more tools had such a friction free way to try them.
This is a great compromise, honestly. Only slightly related, but what if copy"right"-law was opt-out? You could ignore it if you want, but you aren't allowed to hold any either. I would join.
Bounds checks are not 'free' but predicted ones are cheap. There are way to convince the JIT to remove them - in cases it can prove the index doesn't exceed the byte array, so explicit checks with the length of the array may improve the performance.

The stuff gets worse with DirectByteBuffers as the JIT has to work harder. Unsafe allows to 'remove' all bound checks, but it may prevent some other optimizations.

They shouldn't have the right to be the gatekeeper in that relationship.

The wealthy people own the hardware, the devs own the app. Why does apple get the legal right to demand money in that transaction when it would be better for everyone if they weren't involved
Sometimes I feel like people who sell their startup for a modest sum (hundreds of thousands to low millions) get put in a box of 'not ambitious enough' and this makes it hard to get new opportunities later as investors are seemingly all looking for unicorn founders who want to become billionaires and then achieve world domination...

I feel like any signal that you are a rational human being with well-defined, limited needs is going to be a huge turn off for investors. I don't think it's rational at all but I guess that's what decades of low interest rates does to them.

What about ML models that only publish 1 or 2 books a year?

Is it realy about volume?
Microsoft has the models running in it's Azure datacenters in Europe already. I'm guessing there are other organizations who have it where it hasn't been made public. At this point I'd be surprised if it hasn't been leaked to other governments.

But as other comments say, China has smart people too. They've had facial recognition and other invasive mas data collection systems running at mass scale for years. They have the advantage of a lot of data they can use for training.
> Sure. It's just a tool. That need other people's art to work.

So does a human brain.

Which brings us to the other side of the reasoning is that tools like Midjourney and OpenAI enable idiots (when it comes to drawing/animating ... that includes me) to create engaging artwork.

Recently generating artwork like that went from almost impossible to "great, but easily recognizeable as AI artwork". Frankly, I expect the discussion will end when it stops being recognizeable.

I hate Andreesen Horowitz' reasoning, but they're right about one thing: once we have virtual artists that are not easy to distinguish from "real" ones, the discussion will end. It does not really matter what anyone's opinion on the matter is as it will not make a difference in the end.
Cool project. Where does it get worldwide bus route info? Does OSM have an API for it?

When I see or hear advice, I try to understand what the person's context was. Here, I feel like I don't know enough about the founder's situation to know whether any of this would be relevant to me. For example, does he have a family? How old is he? Roughly how much money did he sell for? How much profit was the business generating beforehand, and what was its trajectory?

Without knowing things like this, I can't really tell if his advice would be relevant at all for me.
Google doesn't force you to use Google Play and Google doesn't force devs to pay them. (Also they are still hated as well)

So what? Shut down the App Store tomorrow, and forcibly delete all non-Apple-authored apps off of everyone's iPhones. Watch everyone flock to Android, no matter how much they claim to hate it. Watch Apple's stock drop into the toilet.

Apple needs all their third-party developers just as much as those developers need Apple -- more than at least some of those developers need Apple.
>With that said, convincing a compiler to elide bounds checks (especially Java's JIT compiler) is a hugely frustrating (and for some algorithms futile) task.

Adding explicit checks does work to a certain degree but it can change with the compiler, and it requires to keep checking the generated assembly - not fun (no unsafe, either but still)
It is french, but it does not seem to be EU.
I think you're pointing out something true and worth mentioning, but - I'm not sure why you're comparing this to numerology. People can be interested in fun facts about numbers, whether about their digital representation or not, without any wrong or mystic beliefs.

Comparing this to numerology is just combative and doesn't help get your point across (as you can see by the downvotes).

Besides, going to a place where people are discussing something fun and explaining to them why it isn't really fun is just not a good way to get points across to people, no matter how valid you think they are.

A much better way to approach this IMO - don't say this is wrong, give something analogous that would work for all bases, which by the way would teach people this concept. E.g. extending "do all digits appear infinitely and evenly in the decimal representation of pi" to talking about "normal numbers".
I agree that Apple should take some cut but 30% is predatory and excessive.

> With strangers, even the grumpy interactions are fun. No responsibility.
So you’re saying that you can be a jerk to these people because they don’t know you? Am I missing something?
So as a customer, if you give Apple lots of money for a phone, you also give them the right to milk you more through app store and commissions. Developers aren't bringing money from home to pay Apple, they are paying Apple from what end users pay.

I hope Apple will be forced to allow third party app stores and sideloading apps.
It’s almost as if mentioning it, you’re implying that the majority of businesses close to you are not inclusive. If this is the case, go ahead and mention it to stand out.

Not many.

I eat well for a vegetarian. We cook most meals from scratch every day and use Nutracheck (app) to make sure calories, fat and protein are in the right ratio. The only vitamins we take are B12 (because vegetarian) and D in the winter. Mrs Raffraffraff takes a low dose of iron because she's female (menstruation).

I notice other people's diets whenever I'm shopping. I put my heap of fresh fruit, vegetables, rice, nuts, lentils, spice, herbs, cans of various beans, pasta and low fat cheese onto the conveyor belt casually. I might have one or two cheeky "convenience meals" if the label tells me it's something I might make at home. And it's mind-boggling to glance around and see an entire pile devoid of anything our ancestors would recognise as edible. Pop tarts, biscuits, crisps, a cake. Frozen section: chips, pizza, breaded fried fish, chicken nuggets. Microwave meals (probably not too bad). Bacon, and ah! Potatoes! But they don't count in your 5-a-day because they're mainly starch. Finally, and a healthy breakfast cereal! But that's just grain with a very high sugar content and multivitamins.

I don't think people have bad diets because of a lack of vitamins. It's the high proportion of fats and carbs (with high sugar content) and lack of unprocessed fruit and veg. But then again I sometimes look at these unhealthy piles of trash and wonder what astronauts have to eat, on a mission to the international space station.
So more like virtualenv?

Meh he’s such a quack. Followed his advice and it took a while but I got sick beyond comprehension. Later I found out he’s always talking about 1 out of a 1000 compounds in every plant and for example if that one compound seems to be doing good, let’s ignore the 999 other ones.

It’s not even good for the planet. Veggies don’t even grow up here in the northern hemisphere for half of the year so everything is imported.

If you wanna follow anybody follow Bryan Johnson. He takes over 100 supplements and I figure that’s probably what it takes if you wanna live off plants.

"Blood work comes back fine" is a very low bar, unless you pay for a high-end analysis (things that even many doctors wouldn't think to look at).

You didn't disclose your diet. There's a huge difference between a diet of meat (from animals raised on their natural diets, because artificial diets can change chemical composition of fats and ratios of proteins to be less healthy), berries, and nuts, and a diet of pizza, sweets and (refined-grain-based) baked goods.

It's not a "trick". We all love and hate foods based on more than their taste. The ones that taste the best are not even properly called "food"; they're distant relatives of natural foods, and they're objectively unhealthy. (Unless you're metabolically starving, in which case "bad" calories are the least-bad option.)
I'm genuinely confused at how you made these assumptions about what I'm describing. Because the "more correct" design you contrast with the strawman you've concluded I'm describing is actually what I'm talking about, if perhaps imprecisely. A pretrained model like mobilenetV2, with its final layer removed, and custom models trained on bird and house images, which take this mobilenetv2[:-1] output as input. MobilenetV2 is 2ish megabytes at 224x224, and these final bird and house layers will be kilobytes. Having two multiple-megabyte models that are 95% identical is a giant waste of our embedded target's resources. It also means that a scheme that processed a single image with two full models (instead of one big, two small) would spend 95% of the second full model's processing time redundantly performing the same operations on the same data. Breaking up the models across two stages produces substantial savings of both processing time and flash storage, with a single big model as the "feature detection" first stage of both overall inferences, with small specialized models as a second stage.
> If I read a lot of stories in a certain genre that I like, and I later write my own story, it’s almost by definition going to be a mish-mash of everything I like.

But it's also going to be affected by the teachers you had in pre-school, the people you hang around with, your relatives, films you've seen, adverts you watched, good memories and bad memories of events. You bring your lived experience to your story, and not just a mish-mash of stories in a particular genre, but everything.

Whereas when you train a model, you know the exact input, and that exact input may be 100% copyright material.

It may be possible for Boris to Stoically rearrange his view here. There's definitely a bright shiny alternative to regret/second-guessing.
While most people do install apps through the Play Store, Google doesn't lock down their platform to make it the only option. I have one alternative store (F-Droid) installed, and also have a couple apps side-loaded.

Google's 30% isn't the only option on Android. Apple's 30% is the only option on iOS.

Regardless, Google gets plenty of flak here for a variety of things, including how they run the Play Store.
In California, at least, yard waste and kitchen waste are diverted to composting facilities by law, and over half of biosolids (feces) are composted as well.

I imagine (hope!) that the rest of the world will follow. And it's not only about soil fertility. If this waste decomposes in a landfill, it becomes a major producer of methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas.

> So does a human brain.

A major difference between a human training himself by looking at art, and a computer doing it, is that the human ends up working for himself, the computer is owned by some billionaire.

One enhances the creative potential of humanity as a whole, the other consolidates it in the hands of the already-powerful.

Another major difference is that a human can't use that knowledge to mass-produce that art at a scale that will put other artists in the poorhouse. The computer can.

Copyright exists to benefit humanity as a whole... And frankly, I see no reason for why a neural network's output should be protected by copyright. Only humans can produce copyrightable works, and a prompt is not a sufficient creative input.
More like, "more than profit".
just burn the lazy and roast the rich then?
The biggest problem won’t be AGI. It will be the thousands of shitty AI and ML models which predict things with 99.9% accuracy, meaning people (read judges etc) assume it’s 100% accurate regardless of how often it gets used.

Look at the Postmaster General scandal in the UK. Now imagine that in all systems, because AI in inherently statistical in nature.
Well I guess we need some people at the other extreme to balance out all the Apple-is-the-messiah types.

I'm being glib, here, but I think that's a fairly normal effect. If people's opinions about something are generally pretty boring, average, and uncontroversial, few people will feel the need to stir the pot and adopt extreme views.

But seeing others unquestioningly, unapologetically drooling over something, without allowing any sort of criticism, just eats at some people so much that they need to adopt the completely opposite position and find any reason to brutally criticize.

Human nature is weird.
My understanding is that ShellGPT aims to be a complete OS assistant. It's similar to Open Interpreter (https://github.com/KillianLucas/open-interpreter).

Shelly is a mini tool at the moment that only generates and executes commands for you.
I think the difference is that amazon is not a platform. You sell on Amazon because it is where everyone is and they did that by burning lots and lots of cash to ensure everyone margins cannot be larger than a paper atom.

Now that they're trying to capitalize on it they're becoming worse as a store and I can't remember last time I used them (in NL).

If you buy an iphone there is no one to compete, Apple does not have to play the low margins game because there is no other game in town. Amazon does not take 9% if you sell somewhere else and does not care if you sell cheaper elsewhere, Apple does.
