The employee may feel like they went above and beyond what was expected and wanted to be recognized for that. This may be the only way they get recognized.

One fifth of California’s population lives in this “middle of nowhere” called the Central Valley, and its existing rail line is in the top 10 busiest train routes in the USA, with thousands of daily riders.[1]

Although the project needs to connect to the coastal cities to really make sense, it is certain that the initial operating segment from Bakersfield to Merced will prove popular as soon as it starts running.

Hypothetically you're right, the situation is not clear cut. But if you're ever asking this question, then your intent 99% makes you liable.

And Paypal stretched banking laws. And Youtube was built on the back of countless music and TV videos under copyright. And Airbnb played/plays free & loose with hoteling laws. And Uber with taxi rules. The list is long, and the excesses are large. Move fast and break things. Become too big to fail. This is nothing new. It is core to technological advancement and capitalist enablement.
That’s not how markets work, right? And I don’t think it’s true in either example. If you can charge more, you will. Price should match value.

OpenAI is charging a _really_ high monthly fee for ChatGPT, and it’s quite popular. It’s very limited - there’s no way the cost incurred for usage is near that. Obviously their costs include the R&D that has already happened, but I still think it’s priced way over that.

For a period a lot of FTTH deployments put ONTs in the garage. As some of those networks upgraded CPE ONTs and integrating ONTs into their residential gateways, they often didn't bother actually bringing those fiber runs into the house.

I wouldn't say this is incredibly common though, it really depends on which network and when the original install took place.
250$ for up to 2500MAU is a lot of money in my opinion for this kind of service.

> It explicitly doesn’t mean I disagree.

That's simply incorrect.

And besides, even if garage and dorm room projects sometime do start by illicit means, I don't really think it's responsible to encourage anyone to normaliE that and think it's grossly irresponsible to use that idea to excuse well-connected multi-million dollar organizations who can't hide behind ignorance and should be held to the highest standards lest the playing field for everyone else is ruined.
All of digitized human thought is worth a hell of a lot more than OpenAI has. This is vacuously true in the sense that (so far) their primary declared financial backer is worth a financial accounting line item called “goodwill” less it’s IP in toto.

It’s a slightly more interesting exercise to estimate the multiple on how much OpenAI can’t afford what they’re doing with any conceivable investor if they had to pay for the training data, but I’ll posit it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of a reasonable person if not to a business-friendly court. I’ll bet the rent it can be demonstrated to a European court.

>Zoom recommends 3.8Mbps for uploading 1080p video. Being able to do 1080p video conferencing is an expectation of broadband

You can't even get 1080p on zoom unless you're using "Business, Education and Enterprise". Pro and free users are limited to 720p and 360p respectively. Moreover people don't even have 1080p webcams, much less webcams where you can tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. That's not to say there are other reasons for wanting > 3.8 Mb/s up, but "video conferencing" is a poor one.

It absolutely would not. Everything doesn't need to (and should not) be an app. Most interactions online can and should be handled (for a human at least) as document exchange. App != better, app == worse (more random non-necessary complexity).

I'm inclined to dis-believe your other claims, as well. Those are pretty broad strokes for a litany of devices, runtimes, etc. "Screenreader"? Ha, which version, what OS, which device, etc. Just because you haven't seen the plethora of devices and use cases you support, doesn't mean they don't exist, at any rate your claims are baseless without more evidence.
> we could use openly licensed images

There simply aren't enough of them. Stable Diffusion is trained on 5 billion images. That kind of scale doesn't exist in public domain artwork. This dataset of 88k images is 0.0017% of that.

Also, it's worth noting that intellectual property is a weird construct. Human artists are trained from looking at copyrighted works their entire lifetime. If you asked me to draw a cartoonistic bear I cannot guarantee you that it doesn't vaguely look like Winnie the Pooh or Baloo. I've seen those things and can't un-erase them from my head. And if you prevented me from ever seeing copyrighted works for my whole life, I might not be able to draw anything.

So why are we holding AI to a different standard?

The one I use for 20+ years is gkg.net. they support all of the above, and "hosts" (glue records) supports ipv4 and ipv6, but also multiple addresses per name.

What? How?

I’ve moved a lot in the last 15 years and always defaulting to ikea for convenience. “Fits together well” isn’t what I’d use to describe their furniture.
At some point between then and now they changed how they made them. They have more empty space inside now.

I was introduced to the character by way of Bertolt Brecht's Schweyk im zweiten Weltkrieg (Švejk in the Second World War)[0], which was meant as a sequel to Hašek's original and which I read in school- unfortunately too long ago to remember much of anything but Švejk's good-natured bumbling.

We also read Biedermann und die Brandstifter (The Fire Raisers/The Arsonists)[1], also by Brecht, which I remember somewhat more vividly. The main character is an ordinary guy who thinks he could never be fooled by arsonists, but allows a pair of them to fill his home with flammable material and ends up aiding them in his own demise. I worry that we have failed to learn the lessons of this kind of Nachkriegsliteratur (Post-WWII literature).

It’s not a long-standing pillar of either technological advancement or a robust return for investors. I’ll spare you the essay unless we really want to get into it, but a book I’d recommend to anyone (“The Idea Factory” about the Bell Era in general and the Labs in particular) is both a must-read for any technologist and utterly demolishes that trope into the bargain.
But that's not his point. He's right about the badge.
Every time stuff like this comes up I wonder how much the people having issues would be willing to share - because every time I've fought with the postgres query planner, it eventually turned out what I wanted to do had massively worse performance* because of something I didn't take into account that postgres did. And each time, once I learned what that thing was, I was able to fix it the right way and get the query plan I was expecting, but also with the performance I was expecting.

* Usually I've been able to force query plans by disabling whole operations for a session, such as disallowing "sort" to make it use an index. The real fix in this case, for example, was to use CLUSTER to re-order data on disk, so the correlation statistic was close to 1 and postgres wanted to use the index instead of table scan + sort.

But not necessarily true for software engineers. The so-called three romances of CS can all be attempted by anyone: compiler, operating systems, and computer graphics. And in the recent years, databases, distributed systems, and machine learning algorithms can also be attempted by anyone at home. Only the large models and the associated optimizations are really beyond most people's reach.
Better sell them maintenance.
Good point, but realistically if harm is caused due to unsafe warehouse stacking, there is a human employee behind that error. The exception might be automated stacking software, which would need to be licensed and done properly.

So it's more likely the software in this case was an office admin data entry solution. When they fail, people say "oh crap" and call IT who may or may not fix it!
I saw something that was sort of the inverse of this. A teammate quit with zero notice in a 3 AM email. In that email, he indicated he'd made the decision to open source all the code that he had written in his last year or so with the company. It was in a public github repo in his personal account. The company had a lot of open source, but this was never expected to be part of that.

We were able to get it taken down and no other action was taken against him, but it was an interesting move on his part. His motivation didn't seem to be bad blood - he continued pleasant interactions with several of us, including those in his management chain, long after leaving.

Not a lawyer.

California (and to a much lesser degree other jurisdictions) limits how much an employer can extract from an employee. The default status (with or without those clauses) though is that the employee owns the IP they produce. A warehouse worker would not have had any contractual agreement to the contrary (probably), so CA's limits wouldn't come in to play since the whole thing is handled by ordinary IP law without any agreement superceding that normal behavior.

Things get complicated a bit if there were a lot of trade secrets or whatnot that went into the software, but those restrictions would generally of the form <limit what the copyright holder can do with the software> rather than <trade secrets are involved, so magically the old employer can ignore the copyright holder>. Deleting the software or revoking access should be fine.

Just leave it. It could lead to a contract for you down the line. Or kudos. Or, nothing, but you've made coworkers' lives a little bit easier.

Ask HN: Can a Mapper AGI be built?
I'm of the opinion that thanks to a memory prosthesis tacked on (and training to use it), MemGPT will make it possible to build an AGI in the next year or two. However, due to the nature of the prosthetic to expand its memory(making lots of notes, and searching for them), it's likely (IMHO) to be a packer, in the Mappers vs Packers paradigm.[1]

Does anyone think it's even possible to build an AGI that's a mapper? I can't see how you could even begin to compose examples to train an LLM against.

Surprised that noone mentioned Barely Sociable video on Satoshi Nakamoto[1] (last of a 3-part series). Pretty strong arguments as to why Adam Back is Satoshi, the amount of coincidences is just way too many IMO.

I am not sure that was the intended reference; we know this behaviour now very well from neutering AIs, but I read the statement of gp as, like some of the AI neutering, but even more extreme, this Siri manager is trying to not offend anyone to such extreme that it makes a basically worthless product. Not to save the world from AI. I hope someone, in my lifetime, will make on-device LLMs which allow that type of neutering to be switched off. I don’t get offended and LLMs are getting far worse by trying to ‘protect the children’, not humanity.

Depends how well they are built; of course you can do that but it’s a lot of manual work for some badly made ones: timeouts is easier/faster for trying things out. But I agree, once all works, you can put selectors. However, AI cannot find those automatically, although that cannot be that hard either, it’s just not something I have seen anywhere yet.
It’s fair enough to require that kind of diligence for a new design, given the extreme consequences of failure. Half a billion dollars is not much relative to the cost of a catastrophic accident which would be an order of magnitude more, or two.

The problem is not the cost of design but rather the cost of deploying a proven design.
Majority don't buy their electricity from green suppliers and don't care where their batteries come from. Cobalt mines are hell. Either way, I stand by what I said.

Not really. AI wasn't an option until very recently. How was this managed before?

And even with AI, it would take a considerable amount of effort to flood all public channels with fake data. Do you do this via APIs for every service? Do you generate image and video as well? You would still have no idea whether your efforts are actually working.

Not to mention that using this approach contributes noise to an already noisy medium. Your fight with an imaginary enemy worsens the online experience for everyone else. We have enough junk on the internet as it is.
I got a similar solution on iOS as a shortcut connected to the action button. Some apps doesn’t allow easy text copy. Or when it’s in a foreign language. It does:

- take screenshot

- extract text from it

- translate the text to english. Auto detects source language

- show both original and translated text in quick view where you can select and copy if desired.

Here is a implementation you can try:
