>why would anyone seek permission to use public data?

first of all it's not all public data. software licenses should already establish that just because something is on the internet doesn't mean it's free game.

>Unless you've got Terms and Conditions

The new york times did:

Even if you want to bring up an archive of the pre-lawsuit TOS, I'd be surprised if that mostly wasn't the same TOS for decades. OpenAI didn't care.

>Isn't public information what makes the web great?

no. Twitter is "public information" (not really, but I'll go with your informal definition here). If that's what "public information" becomes then maybe we should curate for quality instead of quantity.

Spam is also public information and I don't need to explain how that only makes the internet worse. and honestly, that's what AI will become if left unchecked.

> Like open source, you can't choose who can use the information you're providing

That's literally what software licenses are for. You can't stop people from ignoring your license, but breaking that license opens you wide open for lawsuits.
Fictional game theory can certainly help you reach fictional conclusions.

The Soapbox front end gives you what you're looking for unless I'm misunderstanding.

The default feed only shows people you follow, and if you 'bookmark' (can't remember the correct terminology) another server you get a feed that shows only that servers their timeline.
"Why was the U.S./Nasa so much more successful in space 50 years ago compared to today?"

Because they moved fast and broke things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1

Also because they had way more money and broad public support.
That's not NASA doing anything, though. In fact it's NASA doing nothing except saying what they want to a genie. Rub rub.
Hi, one of the authors here. The title is a reference to "Objects that Sound" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.06651) which itself is a reference to "Pixels that Sound" (https://elad.cs.technion.ac.il/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/25...).

Also thanks for the pointer to Venetian Snares! We had cited "Songs about my Cats" but it somehow got lost in the editing :/ We'll add the citation back in for the next version, and we've cited it on our website for now
I uninstalled iTerm2 before trying out the feature, but have watched the linked demo video and read the docs, and my point still stands - the generated code is a single key-press away from being sent to a remote server. It's like copying a terminal command from StackOverflow and pasting it directly into your terminal and hoping it works as described.
> I guess the more ignorant ones do?

the toxicity that this whole type of signaling represents from a company just means the give 0 shits about users. therefore, that means that its employees are placated by paychecks to also be happy to receive the negative aspects and laugh it off on their way to the bank to cash their large paychecks. this is the loss of respect others have towards the "yous"
> Have you tried to use LLMs to generate structured JSON output? Not only do all LLMs suck at relaibly following a schema, you need to use all kinds of "forcing" to make sure the output is actually JSON anyway.

Yeah it's worked about fifty thousand times for me without issues in the past few months for several NLP production pipelines.
If you are talking the real Satoshi, avoiding governments coming after you for aiding money laundering and the like and avoiding gangsters kidnapping you or loved ones for crypto ransom.

The real one has passwords and private keys if they need to claim stuff. He last popped up as Satoshi in 2014 to write "I am not Dorian Nakamoto" when that guy was getting hassled.
Clearly this author doesn't know what RAG is. RAG would be if he first did a 'retrieval' of all his mother's cookbooks containing Italian recipes, then reviewed the index for rice, scanned and OCRd those pages. That data would be submitted to ChatGPT with the query to 'augment' it within the constraints of the context window so that ChatGPT could generate a response with the highly relevant cookbook info.
10/10 PR Spin. I love the answer and can sleep well.
> The distinction between a supervisor watching their employee vs. cameras + CV vs. using wearables to automate the watching seems completely arbitrary to me.

I'd be pretty weirded out by constant camera and CV monitoring too

> Are you OK with a cab company monitoring its cars via GPS? Or a trucking company monitoring its loads via tracker?

Those are (a) not monitoring a person and (b) much more coarse than "what shelf is this person standing in front of". They tell the company that the cab driver parked, not that the cab driver took exactly 3 minutes and 33 seconds in the restroom.

I suppose my biggest concern with it is that it's measuring the wrong thing. If someone's doing as much as their coworkers even though they leaned on a shelf for 5 minutes yesterday, is that really a problem?

By comparison monitoring a car with GPS has legitimate purposes that actually advance the interests of the business.
I'm curious how the legal stuff will play out. They definitely did something that feels wrong. On the other hand, some people make their living impersonating famous actors, voice and all.
This made me realize I have the opposite problem. Now I have to go update the toy SMTP server that I ended up implementing in a perl script so it handles SMTP clients double-dotting a line.
If you were to assume a dystopian cause, you assume a bug accidentally revealed the nefarious plan, and the charitable view would assume a bug broke proper deletion of physical files when their db record was set for removal, or some such. Either way, we assume a bug. But, the conspiracy theory requires additional assumptions and is, all else being equal, less likely, overall.

I think the POV chosen, one way or the other, reveals an interesting bias, like that white/gold/blue dress. But I find this even more interesting because probably most of us here have worked at software companies as developers, and know personally how utterly normal unintentional bugs like a failed deletion bug would be, particularly if black-box QA is oblivious to it because everything seems fine. No company is immune, and Apple has had some pretty embarrassing bugs over the years.
By far the best way I've found to reduce hallucinations is to explicitly allow the model to say some version of "I don't know" in the prompt.
And what is the range of "similar enough to", specially for human perception, and I don't mean what our senses get, but our brain does. At least with vision there is a lot fill-in-the-blanks and more processes going on all the time.

I don't mean that it is what it really happened, or the real intentions in this, but setting legal precedents for something that may be pretty fuzzy in real life is dangerous.
These were pretty much my exact thoughts while reading the story.

Brennan posting a novel-length letter to the LKML, one penned by a convicted murderer, was some questionable decisionmaking to say the least.

I sure am glad I'm not one of the (over a dozen) people mentioned in that email by name. I imagine that's profoundly disturbing. And that's before this butcher's micro-celebrity status propels his letter to the top spot when people Google your name. And I can only hope the victim's family is blissfully unaware of the exposure this."killing my wife and other social mistakes I made" tripe got.
> but they just don't get organized in feeds.

That's not a protocol thing, though. Clients can display AP or Mastodon posts as feeds, much as e.g. Phanpy do.

When the economy grows, the amount of currency needs to grow as well. Otherwise prices will fall (deflation). That hurts the economy as a whole because e.g. real wages might increase too much
All this about a missing period and nothing about the consistently missing commas. In fact I would say leaving off punctuation on one line paragraphs would be more consistent.
Appreciate your response. In my opinion, I don't want my terminal to have AI integration. I don't like the idea of AI-generated code being a single key-press away from being sent to a remote server. Others may disagree with that opinion, which is fine too.

Sure, but that's digressing from the key point of the grandparent post about the visual novels - that this median number of "game" revenue is meaningless, because steam sales conflate to entirely different markets i.e. proper games and visual novels, and since the latter outnumber the former but each generally get far less sales (as the market demand is so differently structured) the number isn't informative about the revenue of actual games; and if we want to reason about the game market financials, we have to split the porn in a separate category, as it's too different (money- and sales-wise, it's not about prudeness) to be treated as just one of the genres.
You can absolutely refer to constraints from other sketches in expressions, copy geometry directly from other sketches and "export" geometry from other bodies or generated geometry with a shapebinder in Part Design (or a Facebinder from the Draft workbench in a Part workflow). Shapebinders are very useful.

There are master sketch workflows. Youtube videos are out there for those (Mango Jelly Solutions has at least one).

The “losing faces” issue is the Topological Naming Problem. This is very soon to be mitigated and it can be worked around in the meantime (offset your sketches from a base plane rather than attaching them to a face). Though it is I gather still murderous in one of the assembly workbenches. The fix is coming soon.

Many of your other concerns would be addressed by doubling down on the parametric stuff, I think. The Spreadsheet module can help solve a lot of problems that are otherwise solved by the methods above and may be easier to keep track of. You can do calculations in there more or less as you would in a typical spreadsheet, and then give cells of the spreadsheets aliases that you can refer to in expressions anywhere in your design.

FreeCAD is really fundamentally parametric, and once you get into that, you have a bunch of options.
Not sure why the "fast filesystem" links to the M1 processor.
You could add even more punniness to the AR name by calling it ARscenic. I don’t think anyone wouldn’t use the software just because it’s named after a toxic substance.
It also seems Wikimedia isn't trying to relicense the content in any way that strips its e.g. CC-SA status, but rather providing the licenses as context alongside each API call. https://helpcenter.enterprise.wikimedia.com/hc/en-us/article...

It's worth noting that https://creativecommons.org/faq/#artificial-intelligence-and... itself takes the general stance that "as a general matter text and data mining in the United States is considered a fair use and does not require permission under copyright."

But as a practical matter, I wouldn't be surprised if some Wikipedia editors balk at their volunteer work being actively marketed and reformatted for ease of LLM training by the very platform that solicited their volunteer services, regardless of their works' legal status and Wikimedia's technical respect of that legal status.
I've yet to see a web app approach anything close to Norton Commander with "flexbox is enough", much less anything more complex.

Well, there are a few standalone examples here or there, but "flexbox is enough" is verifiably false.

I had a very difficult to track down bug that ended up losing us a very big fish client, that came down to parsing a binary file with an ad-hoc parser that looked for the index of a header. They didn't realize that after the header was some metadata, so a small amount of metadata was interpreted as data. I fixed it by writing a proper ad-hoc parser that actually worked on a header-by-header level. But the damage was done and we had looked like buffoons to the client.

Was very hard for the team. There was a shouting match over it, some hard feelings. The code was written in the spirit GP alludes to by an enthusiastic executive who wanted to help lighten the load. I should've rejected the PR but was intimidated to reject the exec's code (not an engineering reason for an engineering decision!). The exec was a good data scientist but not as strong a coder as me, and parsing binary files is one of my specialties.

Friends don't let friends parse using "indexOf()".
Yes. Normally with RAG you would actually search and try to pre-filter the data for the LLM.
Bonus points for one of the most delightfully creative ideas I’ve heard in some time. I don’t think it will work (the space of "not reality" is superexponentially larger than the space of "this describes reality") but I’m just happy to be thinking about nonstandard ML again.

(I’ve dubbed this sort of thing “nonstandard ML" since, like you, I have a fondness for thinking of unorthodox solutions that seem plausible.)
I agree; I have done a full 180 from preferring camelcase to using snake case everywhere. It simplifies parsing for my old eyes.

I also got unnaturally irritated by PowerShell's insistence on hewing so closely to CamelCaseOrthodoxy that common abbreviations and acronyms like ID, IP, and DB became Id, Ip, Db.

Left to my own devices, I'll use OTBS + lower_snake and it drives some of The Youths on my team insane.
All separate things should be in different files.

And files are just key/values anyway.
It's interesting that they used this to manipulate models. I wonder if "intentions" can be found and tuned. That would have massive potential for use and misuse. I could imagine a villain taking a model and amplifying "the evil" using a similar technique.
Absolutely fine for that workflow.

Make sure to add a note to the project’s privacy policy that user data is sent to openai.
I have never seen anybody ever complain about a slideshow of 4 features that pops up once after an update and one can easily close pressing x without even getting through them. This is common for software after an update. Should they try hide what they added? I bet more people who use iterm2 learnt about it here than those who would have learnt about it from iterm2 devs.

And btw as I wrote, the AI integration was 3rd in the list. You have to press the "next" button 2 times to get to it. One could have pressed x on the first slide and not even get to see that. The amount of effort put here into complaining about something that can ignored with 0 effort is absurd. And I cannot shake the feeling that this would have almost never been done for any closed source project.
SLS is still the king in that respect, IMO. Starliner is only going to waste a couple of billion dollars. If it never flies Boeing will only get paid for half the project, and if it does fly it'll be overpriced but still do something useful.

OTOH, SLS + Orion are likely going to waste an astounding $100B dollars. And not deliver much useful -- Starship is going to the moon from Earth anyways, why not just put the astronauts on Starship to begin with instead of delivering them with SLS + Orion?
Yep, it feels like them being a monopoly effectively kills every incentive for them to try harder. It's reminiscent of bureaucracy in third world countries where you will not get your passport issued or renewed until you grease enough palms of the right people who feel entitled to a certain level of corruption for their respective role.
In theory, you could pay yourself 2x for 6 months, then 0x for 6 months if the startup lacks money but seems worth persisting at. I think it's not especially rare for founders to work for temporarily zero pay early on. Seems like the main difference between that and "1x for 12 months" is providing an incentive to yourself for the last 6 months, and signaling that to others.
> I worry this is going to come across as insulting, but that's not my intention. I do this too sometimes; I think everyone does. The point is we shouldn't define true reasoning so narrowly that we think no system capable of it would ever be caught doing what most of us are in fact doing most of the time.

Indeed; to me LLMs pattern match (yes, I did spot the irony) to system-1 thinking, and they do a better job of that than we humans do.

Fortunately for all of us, they're no good at doing system-2 thinking themselves, and only mediocre at translating problems into a form which can be used by a formal logic system that excels at system-2 thinking.
Right, the point is not that the feature is opt in, the point is that you can no longer trust the maintainers to make good decisions.
Wow, yeah, back when I first saw that episode, it definitely evoked memories of Sierra for me. As the sibling points out, the IMDB page's trivia says that was intentional. I had no idea...
Hard, and also might not be particularly commercially viable. Once you give a model an individual memory, you lose the standardization and consistency of behavior that is important for scaling up commercial applications.

I would not want, for example, a version of Copilot that slowly gets better at helping me with the task I'm working on and then suddenly and unpredictably reverts back to zero just because the k8s pod running the instance that I had been interacting with got recycled. Consistently mediocre behavior would be preferable to the AI equivalent of the pair programming equivalent of speed dating.
That is a generalization. As someone in the US, my view is that prison _should_, in most cases have a goal of rehabilitation, but in practice, at least in the US is more often used only as punishment.

And I'm sure there are europeans who think that prison should only be for punishment.
We humans also trust the consensus of non-peer reviewed truth all the time. Tell that group of children that the opposite sex doesn't have cooties, and there's a good chance they'll laugh at you. Look at any online community, and it's the same. We humans are great at it and do it all the time.
human vs. bot is all the difference:

- a human will be an organic visitor that can be advertised to. A bot is useless

- A human can one day be hired for their skills. An AI will always be in control of some other corporate entity.

- volume and speed is a factor. It's the buffet metaphor, "all you can eat" only works as long as it's a reasonable amount for a human to eat in a meal. Meanwhile, a bot will in fact "eat it all" and everyone loses.

- Lastly, commercial value applies to humans and bots. Even as a human I cannot simply rehost an article on my own site, especially if I pretend I read it. I might get away with it if it's just some simple blog, but if I'm pointing to patreons and running ads, I'll be in just as much trouble as a bot.

> I really don't see a difference between this and someone reading a bunch of books/articles/blog posts/tech notes/etc etc and becoming a profficient writer themselves

tangential, but I should note that you in fact cannot just apply/implement everything you read. That's the entire reason or the copyright system. Always read the license or try to find a patent before doing anything commercially.

Emulation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery
I agree that there is an issue with large tech companies having undue influence over society, and that they frequently against the interests of their users. I would applaud regulation that mitigates these negative behaviours.

I have never had a Facebook account because I did not agree with their user-is-the-product model. This is my personal choice. People usually only find this out I tell people I can't do the thing they want me to do because it is on Facebook. The usual response is surprise, followed by general acceptance.

I do not see how this relates to AI though. AI is not a business, it is a technology. The antipathy seems to be directed at AI itself, not any particular company. I am all for criticism of company behaviour if it is well argued. I don't like the blanket "X is bad, everything X does is bad". Apart from being a non sequitur, I don't really accept the absoloute "X is bad" for any company. Companies are composed of individuals, those people have influences, agency, and beliefs. To say that they are uniformly bad is to say that every individual who works their is bad.

By all means criticize bad behaviour of companies. Criticize the leadership that let it happen, and keep on doing so if they let it continue. Declaring the lot of them to be evil is not only counter productive, but taking the easy way out. The idea of defeating them is just some revolutionary fantasy and without any other means to modulate their behaviour you are just supporting the status quo.

Absolutely, be constantly vigilant. Just remember to make a case for your point. An optional feature that you don't have to use does not seem like a good reason to hate a iTerm2. It would be like me declaring I am no longer going to use a web browser because it has the ability to view Facebook, I simply don't use that feature.
In the microplastics thread, so many were ready to assign blame for so many pervasive ills to the prevalence of microplastics.

Meanwhile we have known about the devastating effect of interpersonal trauma in childhood and just shrug or worse, say “well that’s how my parents did it and I’m fine.”

Foundationally there is no problem more urgent than eliminating interpersonal alienation at every possible interaction and eliminating alienating systems.

You can’t innovate your way out of the problems a society with no trust causes.
> Choplifter was written by Dan Gorlin in 1982, and published by Brøderbund. That date, 1982, is especially noteworthy. The game came out just a few years after the original Apple II did, and it remained one of the best games on the platform for sixteen years.

> However in terms of pure fun, Choplifter remained hard to beat for sixteen years...

I want to know what happened in 1998 that made Choplifter stop being one of the best Apple II games.
