> As far as copyright is concerned, there is no such “generic” category of photography, you’re trying to invent a term that has no legal status. All photos fall under copyright. Training on them may break copyright, reproducing them accidentally may break copyright.

Not related to what I was saying at all. My point is that producing an AI image "in the style of a photograph" is less of an infringement on artists' rights than producing an AI image "in the style of Pablo Picasso". Surely you can agree with me on that point?

Whether or not the AI models' training on copyrighted photographs was legal or not is tangential to the point above.

> But how can you possibly claim to know what the “majority” of Stable Diffusion’s usage is?

I'm actively following what people create, share, and like on Discords, subreddits and Civitai. I would say less than 1% of popular works are recreating the style of a specific artist.

> It is irrelevant what the majority use case is.

Well, you founded your whole argument on the very specific niche case of "create an image in style of <artist>". If that's now irrelevant, then I don't know what your argument is anymore. Maybe you shouldn't have made that argument in the first place if you find it so irrelevant.

> It is a fact that examples of people asking to mimic specific artists are all over the internet, it’s quite common and easy to find.

Sure. It's also a fact that examples of people killing each other with knives is easy to find. That doesn't mean the majority use case for knives is killing people, and that therefore knives should be banned.

<thing> can be used for <good> and <bad> and we have to look at both before we say "ban <thing>", it's not enough to just look at <bad>

> You’re splitting a hair trying to contradict me when I’m trying to point out that regardless of whether people are trying to imitate a single artist, the design and implementation of the system is expressly for the purpose of imitating multiple artists. My point doesn’t hinge on single vs 2, 3, or many.

I'm not splitting hairs on whether an image is imitating "style of <artist1>" or imitating "style of <artist1> and <artist2>". A distinction like that is not meaningful. If you imitate artist1 and artist2 in the same image, that's still imitation of specific artist styles.

Let's take an example. Here is the top image on Civitai today: https://civitai.com/images/7511111

That image seems to be using a LoRA that's intended to reproduce "China-Splashed Ink" style. I have personally seen this style in various artworks, movies, and games. For example, the Total War: Three Kingdoms game uses this style. This is a style that a large number of humans have contributed to over a long period of time. There isn't any individual artist who can claim that it's "their" style.

Do you have an issue with AI image generator generating an image in that style?
Can one be kind and not woke? If so there must be more to it.

Lets not ruin another thread with this nonsense.
> Then, once the thousands of files are distributed, they stitch them together via an *.m3u8 playlist file which the in-browser player can handle buffering

I did try streaming one time with that method, besides the high latency (~5seconds), it was CPU intensive for both the server and the client(browser), so not so sure how viable this would be.
Just switch to Android, why take this kind of user hostility from Apple?
Boeing whistleblower found dead prior the trial
You missed that this is the DMA we're talking about. All those cases are either out of its jurisdiction or predate the Act's passage.
That's a pretty tortured reading of the DMA. Yes, Apple has to allow more than just the App Store to install iOS applications, but nowhere does it stipulate that Apple can't collect fees from apps installed through alternative stores.

This is the tension, people really really want "ability to install apps" or "ability to install from web" to mean "install without Apple being allowed to collect fees" but that's not what the law says.
I feel like your analogy conflates early explorers (who definitely intended to go home unless something went wrong) with early settlers (who did not). I feel like Mars is very much in the "explorer" phase more than the "early settlers" phase.
Games consoles are designed, marketed and used to play games and for similar entertainment purposes.

You are not going to do your online banking on an Xbox, or write a letter on a PlayStation, even if the hardware is theoretically capable of that, it’s just not what it’s for.
Fabric is an open-source framework for augmenting humans using AI
Or trains? With current (40-year-old) high speed train technology, this could be under 4 hours.
Yea I have the same question. Objectively it appears that Boeing is having some really serious safety issues. Things that absolutely do not jive with what we’ve been taught our entire lives about how safe airline travel is. But I’m open to the idea that 5-10 “major” incidents a year is maybe within the normal range and we just don’t ever hear about them.
How different is that from tech giants using their monopoly profits to develop software that they give away for free? You say AT&T gave away some software to universities. Similarly Google gives away Go (among many other projects) as FOSS for anyone to use. If Google didn't have to worry about money, they might not develop these things to give away for free.
Google Play store has some exclusive privileges?
Thanks for the correction. I wasn't trying to imply an ordering, but I can easily see how my text indicated one.

The Epic ruling is in the US and are irrelevant to EU regulations. Dutch regulators have rejected Apple's response to the dating app ruling, and that matter is currently in the courts[1]. Lastly, these latest changes are in response to a new law, the Digital Markets Act.

Nothing says summer on the east coast to me like the drone of cicadas on a really hot day. The numbers for Brood II which seems to dominate the area doesn't quite match up with my memories of the loudest cicadas. It's a weird sound, sort of a collective between many different cicadas which aren't quite all in the same phase.

They already did that.

Article 6(7):

> The gatekeeper shall allow business users and alternative providers of services provided together with, or in support of, core platform services, free of charge, effective interoperability with, and access for the purposes of interoperability to, the same operating system, hardware or software features, regardless of whether those features are part of the operating system, as are available to, or used by, that gatekeeper when providing such services.
This is where inference speed starts to matter. H100 might be cheaper per inference than Groq but cutting down the wait time from 1 minute to 10 seconds could be a big deal.
Why would you ask that? Don't you realise the extra work @dang has to do when you trigger these posters?

Have a heart and spare a thought the guy works hard.
The bullets are the problem they are trying to use the shield to solve. If the shield also kills the user, that sort of renders the whole thing moot, right?

Nah, you were the one doubting me, Thomas, I don't need to show my wounds.
Wow, I can't believe how blatant their non-compliance is. That'll be some interesting legal advice they have.
Just opened Firefox on my Pixel, typed in "about:config", and got a long list of configuration options.
It seems like it would have been easy to use as a battery-powered POS terminal, with just some simple BASIC software. That might not have been sufficiently better than a mechanical cash register or a carbonless-copy receipt pad though to justify it.
Their randomly chosen addresses are within the same /16 subnetwork.

Therefore they can talk directly, without using a gateway.

Their corresponding Ethernet MAC addresses will be resolved by ARP.

The problem is that in many cases you would have to look at the autoconfigured addresses and introduce manually the peer address in each computer.

For file sharing, either in Windows or using Samba on Linux, you could autodiscover the other computer and just use the name of the shared resource.
It's designed to sow confusion among the big vendors in the app store driving most of the revenue, and keep them walled in where it's 'safe'.
One of the main reasons I try to stay remote is the spring to fall farmer's markets in the area I live. Getting Ostrich each week is awesome. Especially in the time of year I'm often finishing the last bit of shedding the extra winter weight gained. It's a drop in replacement for other red meat for many of my meals with less fat to keep the calories lower. It takes to taco seasonins really well.
More plausible than hearsay from Boeing or LATAM
Because smartphones have become an ubiquitous and essential part of everyday life (communication, information access, and services) for large parts of the population, which is not true for gaming consoles.
When GenAI still needs MT
We all know that one use case is not another, that one MT engine may work well for some language pairs and some domains but may perform poorly in other pairs or domains. Large language models (LLM) occasionally outperform MT, and there are also cases where MT is needed.
In a nutshell: it is a complex landscape, and testing is required in every situation and for every use case.
Technology, when used with discernment, helps translate more and faster. But don't take anything for granted, do the research first, test, compare, evaluate. That has a cost. Managing client expectations includes explaining what this testing entails. No one-size-fits-all solution is credible.
Prepare for a lot of copycat companies. Hey Devin, copy this company's software.
Just be ready for Xbox and Sony to stop subsidizing their console prices then. That may be the future anyways as Xbox (and Sony really recently) push towards cross-plat gaming.
> Apple's main argument has always been this: "encouraging devs to never update their apps"

That doesn't right at all.

Apple famously dropped support for 32 bit binaries on iOS/iPadOS a while back (it's why I sold my iPad Pro).

Pretty sure they dropped support for 32 bit binaries on macOS at some point as well.
Well, pack it in. It was a great run boys. Onto better things.

Honestly Meta is consistently one of the better companies at releasing tech stack info or just open sourcing, these kinds of articles are super fun
I'm skeptical of this account - Newton's First Law says that an object in motion stays in motion. Losing instruments for a second doesn't cause a change in momentum - that would have needed to be a stall, a change in trim, or an external weather event such as a downdraft. A stall would have been accompanied by a stall recovery procedure involving attitude + thrust changes, and nobody seems to be reporting that in the article.

I'm no professional, but if I had to guess - the plane got hit by a hard gust, and the gust triggered a short in some electronics that caused the screens to go blank. (So, the opposite direction of causality).
That's a really cool story. Nice to see the ZPM Espresso machine actually got made.

And yeah, that's another good point there. At least half the time, the problem with these projects isn't that they're intentional scams. It's that they're run by people who've never had to launch a product/business before (especially not on a large scale) and severely underestimate the amount of work, time and money required to get it to market. Making say, $200K on a $50K campaign for a new indie game is great and all, except when you need to hire 20+ people to work on it, pay them salaries, pay for tools, potentially pay for office space, pay for certification for consoles/Steam, pay for the website and marketing and trailer production and voice acting and...

Suddenly, all that money lasts you maybe 3 months.

A lot of projects go that way.
> Really? Not in a single one?

Really. At least they're not the clear favorite. It's not like 2010 when the best phone and laptop hardware was clearly, indisputably Apple.

Samsung phone hardware is better, vanilla Android is better than iOS (ex: recent HN threads raging about iOS not even having schedule-to-send for SMS), many laptops are better than MacBooks or are at least very competitive.

M3 chips are be the best laptop silicon available, but I don't think the average consumer knows/cares much about that.

It's an opinion, so no.

Not in Boston, they've become far far worse. I presume because of climate change but still has become frustrating in recent years.
Given the stories reported about the safety culture at Boeing I expect there are other quality issues. The instances where those quality issues are so apparent that customers experience them, like the door blowout, are unlikely to be unique.

John Oliver did a report on Boeing recently that is pretty damning.
1=0 proofs are examples of a different type of paradox. It is an example of a paradox that does not seem true.
I'm sorry but.. why? The library is a single function consisting of 10 lines of Rust code. And would be about 10 LOCs to re-implement in any language that has native csv libs. It seems a little bit unnecessary to load a WASM runtime for that.
"first" lol.

Making false, grandiose claims like that burns a lot of trust.

Focus on execution and quality.
Although the demos are impressive, they seem short and limited in scope which makes me wonder how well this will work outside of these planned cases. Can it do software architecture at all? Is it still essentially just regurgitating solutions? How often will the solution only be 90% correct, which is 100% not good enough?

Even so, I realize the demos are still broad in scope and the results are incredible. Imagine seeing this even 2 years ago. It would seem like magic; you wouldn't be able to believe it. Today, this was inevitable and entirely believable. There will be even better versions of this soon.
>can focus on more interesting problems

Kind of like how art was supposed to be what humans would be doing while AI does the jobs we don't want, but looks like that will be the first thing to fall to the machines, while humans fight for carpet installation and plumbing jobs (for a while).
Really? Because people need a place to live. If you haven’t seen it yourself, there is a worldwide epidemic of people who are addicted to needing shelter for survival.

> Not quite. What if there is a \ in your data? Then you have to escape that.

No problem, any character following a `\` is a literal character. `\\` => literal `\`. `\,` => literal comma. `\a` => literal `a`, etc.

Parsing this is easy, generating it is easy, and there is only one rule to remember for humans reading or generating it.

Each rule added for parsing is one more added complexity and point of failure.

That's what people said about phones at first too. The Nintendo Switch has the same capabilities with its touchscreen. Its more than capable of taking the place of an iPad.
This article mostly discusses longer-term forecasts, but I have also been impressed with the quality and reliability of imminent-storm alerts. They have saved me from getting drenched in a rain storm or allowed me to pull off the road for a break before a downpour.

It doesn't get a ton of press, but as this article highlights, progress has been steady and significant.

This article asserts that improving forecasts in low-income countries is underrated--does anyone know of studies that predict the impact better forecasts would have? Helping the poor with tech seems like the kind of project that many philanthropists could get excited about, and hopefully more effective than gravity lights and the like.
I think that's impossible. Bevy works heavily with Rust types and generic monomorphization. You couldn't do that in another language without literally generating Rust code and calling the compiler.

I noticed about myself that in recent years I am becoming increasingly paranoid when it comes to addons and avoid installing any but the most popular/trusted, not just for Firefox, but all applications I use. If there is an addon that does something I want and doesn't fit my criteria for trust, I either write my own private clone, adjust my habits not not need it or (the most frequent outcome) just suck it up.
Any advice on how to write modern C++20 while avoiding all of the usual pitfalls, if that option is already available to C++ devs as of today? Is there a "C++ in 2024, the good parts" type of resource one could learn from?

The second paragraph of 6(7) certainly allows the gatekeeper to prevent any access to system services/ABIs/APIs except from installed software.
As in BBC:

"At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.

Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing's lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.

He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.

He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park"
My understanding of the weird OS/2 marriage was that one early plan (that never happened) was that IBM OS/2 and MS OS/2 would be different SKUs. Microsoft's would be "the cheap SKU" and probably the one most bundled by OEMs because of existing Microsoft relationships with OEMs. (Keep in mind there was a mutual antagonism between IBM and the other OEMs and it would have be weirdly unlikely for IBM to sell OEMs on bundling their OS directly; part of the "marriage of convenience" was directly Microsoft's sway and relationships with the OEMs.) Some IBM accountant would declare some features as too expensive or too "real business" for the MS SKU and Microsoft would have to cut them. In theory Microsoft could have said some Windows things couldn't be in the IBM SKU because IBM OS/2 would be for "real business" and Windows was a "silly toy" for "consumers" (until it wasn't, when 3.1 started to win big). (Though that never seemed to happen either, Microsoft wound up letting IBM OS/2 Warp include the Windows compatibility layers.)

It was expected that despite the shared OS/2 brand name (IBM's dumb insistence) the Microsoft and IBM OS/2's might have wound up feeling surprisingly different.

Microsoft never actually sold an OS/2 SKU so there's all kinds of speculation of what that would have been like and how it would have differed from the IBM OS/2 SKUs we did get. The hard-to-find preview versions like the article talks about are our only glimpses into whatever crazy world that might have been had the weird OS/2 marriage "succeeded". (It's also a weird glimpse, as the article points out, into the insight that Microsoft probably was ahead of IBM on their versions of OS/2 and likely were intentionally sandbagging how much wound up getting sent over to IBM's side of the fence and their SKUs.)

It's definitely a strange fork in the world of computing history, if the "divorce" hadn't happened, if Windows 3.1 hadn't won over everybody, if Microsoft hadn't attracted Dave Cutler to start on the NT Kernel, and so forth: the operating systems we use would have been hugely different (and probably not for the better, given IBM's IBM-ness, the design-by-committee parts of OS/2, and some of the still underappreciated technical marvels of the NT Kernel that we did get in this timeline).
Updating Unreal Engine Pricing in Late April
Re editors: The problem with USV is not that it's hard to type the characters, but rather than the newlines are completely optional. Which means that in general case, most line-based tools are not going to work with USV.

Now, the readme actually has that optional newline separator thing, but the optionality of it makes it completely useless, it seems like an after-thought. Fr example the first "real" USV writer I found, the "csv-to-usv", does not put them [0] and thus makes uneditable files.

And if we are going to end up with uneditable files, might as well go with something schema-full, like parquet or avro. You are going to have the same "critical mass problem", but at least the tooling is much better and you have neat features like schemas.
