It's confusing because that was also my interpretation until I saw the quote from the DoJ prosecutor in the article:

>“Today’s announcement sends a clear message: using AI to produce sexually explicit depictions of children is illegal, and the Justice Department will not hesitate to hold accountable those who possess, produce, or distribute AI-generated child sexual abuse material"
I think it’s interesting that Johansson chose to forgo substantial royalties and collaboration potential

But it must feel pretty fucking weird and violatory when you spend your entire life thinking about how you are going to deliver certain lines and that’s your creative Body of work, and then for someone to just take that Voice and apply it to any random text that can be generated?

I get why she wouldn’t want to let it go.

In a way it is similar to how a developer might feel about their code being absorbed, generalized, and then regurgitated almost verbatim as part of some AI responses

But in the case of voice it’s even worse as the personality impression is contained in the slightest utterance… whereas a style of coding Or a piece of code might be less Recognizable, and generally applicable to such a wide range of productions

Voice is the original human technology, To try to take that from someone without their consent is a pretty all encompassing grab

> Building different versions of your site for different widths is not a solution.

I think about it as building different sites for different form factor. What you do on a phone is different from what you do on a desktop. Or a tablet. I don't like using the amazon website on mobile because it's so cluttered, when what I want is usually searching for a product, or checking my cart for a product. I'm not managing my account in there, nor do I want alternative recommendations.
It could be up in the air.

For perspective, I'm with Israel. Though, I'm for saving as many Palestinian lives as humanly possible. Which should be all of them, should the clerics and State Actors stop abusing them via radicalization and the Islamic World works with Israel toward offering appropriate options.

But what I'm speaking about, in terms of prediction, isn't the way that the wind blows. What I'm speaking about is high level State intention.

No one today can seriously believe that State political orientation is a grassroots effect. The reality is that, with the exception of extremely unstable States that are de facto puppets of other Nations, the broad political orientation of modern States is an effect of the allowable movements, opinions, revolutions, propaganda, and migrations that are facilitated by the agencies over decades. Ergo, the eventual orientation of any State toward or away from Israel has to be assumed to be in that State's geopolitical interest as dictated at the highest level.

As we can easily observe, if there was an event and the resultant popular effect was not in the State's interest than, no matter what, the event would be minimized into oblivion by State Press.

Conversely, the Press will manufacture events out of virtual non-events if that assists the State's interest.

Only the State or God will determine whether or not it supports Israel, in any future. That's my starting point for prediction.

At least in the UK I think that the idea that University is the be all and end all is well past its peak.

I know people in their 30s with degrees who are in house shares in the capital earning 30K a year.

They are doing substantially worse than the folks I know in cheaper areas doing stuff like construction, sales, home renovations etc and I don't think that most of them are likely to catch up any time soon.

I think graduating at Oxford, Cambridge, LSE and a few others is worth it. Otherwise you're probably better off living at home for as long as possible, saving a bunch of money and striking out on your own.
It's 194 bytes I keep getting it wrong :D yeah it's a strange size, the short version is SMS (140 bytes) => twitter => dwitter => unicode packing of ascii with JS decoder (which could not be undone because the limit was defined as unicode points) yields 194 bytes.

> If, when optimizing your intro, you stumble on something better, you are better off throwing everything away and build on that instead,

Exactly this, but because of the extreme size limitations you often end up forced to iterate out of frustration trying to fit something, and then something else weird but interesting will often pop out of that process that you wouldn't have directly thought of.
I think there's also an argument to be made that in fields where agreement with authority might hold more sway, there needs to be a public publishing outlet for "inconvenient" results.

In chemistry, either the proposed path works or it doesn't.

In squishier sciences (econ? archaeology? history? long-term fields like dietary and environmental sciences?), there's less ability for things that fly in the face of conventional wisdom to be provably correct solely on their content.

Consequently, there's more ability to suppress them. Or at least apathetically ignore and not circulate them.

And, to the point here, there's a lot more rocks lobbed at you when you're challenging the status quo that careers have been built on, versus following or supporting it.

Nobody wants to be wrong about something they've staked decades on.
That’s what the state police charged him with in March. The article doesn’t include the specific federal charges for some reason, but the FBI statement suggest they believe the generation itself is also illegal.

Yes, it does. It's just that it's more nuanced than the naive interpretation would lead you to believe.

> asking an employee what they're building and they ignore the confidentiality agreement to tell you

In the parent's description of this, it is almost certainly the case that you would have no duty of trust or confidence to the person that told you. In that case, it would be fine for you to trade on it (well, assuming you weren't otherwise restricted from such trading).

Reasonable people will point out that this "near Hamas" thing is the result of a deliberate strategy by Hamas to ensure that reprisal strikes preferentially spill the blood of the civilians Hamas ostensibly represents, while shielding and supplying the Hamas combatants who provoked the strikes in the first place.

To me, the more powerful argument is just that any meaningful military purpose to massed attacks in Gaza have now been used up; much of Hamas' infrastructure, along with the majority of their leadership cadre, have been destroyed. Hamas still "exists", and it could re-form, but so could any other militant organization at this point. The losses Hamas have taken probably exceed those of other state military actors who have decisively lost wars in the past.

Further large-scale strikes look increasingly performative. It was hard to justify a lot of what Israel did even when Hamas had 15 combat-ready brigades and was vowing to repeat October 7th. It seems impossible to justify it now.

(People definitely disagree with me on this point! It's what I believe but fuck if I know with any certainty how true it is.)
It really isn’t. Asking people stuff like N Queens, Trapping Rain Water, and other such questions is really about if you’ve seen the problem before and studied enough to solve them optimally in under 20 minutes while explaining out loud.

It really is about testing how much you prepared for the interview and not the job.

The real issue with the warrants isn't 'equating'. It's the political point to cover two deeper issues:

First, that Biden admin and others can't escape culpability for any such claim if it's considered credible. Second, the dubious factual basis (trucks were allowed in all the time; temporary port and air supply obviously with Israel's approval; the very low malnutrition death count according to Gaza health ministry's own reports).

The first made the admin's reply inevitable. The second made it even more likely, but it's a too complex point for PR I guess, so they went with 'equating'.
> which you have obviously not even bothered to look at

Again, you presume my ignorance because the only alternative is that I understand you and still think you are wrong. How do you think I knew about the contents of your article if I didn't read it? Half the reason I noticed the HTML elements is because they gave me a syntax error why I tried to evaluate your code.

> I'd be surprised if you could find even one that did not reference McCarthy's original Lisp paper.

Well that's quite interesting. So the fact that some text books reference one specific paper is proof of thousands of hours of research across hundreds of people, all of whom would be insulted by my claim that lists aren't a very good processing primitive? Honestly, I suspect most of them would agree with me that they're better as syntax. You seem quite obsessed with lambda calculus yourself based on your articles and talks and you utterly despise all the list-based stuff from Del. Given that you always seem to write the lambdas with list syntax, you seem to agree with me in every point. So why are you looking for people to be offended by something that we both seem to believe?
In December 2017, competing video sharing site Vidme was convinced that YouTube was generously subsidized by the rest of Google https://medium.com/vidme/goodbye-for-now-120b40becafa Google certainly errs on the side of not passing along ad revenues to creators, which could be for brand protection, or could be because YouTube (like most streaming TV) is losing money. They tried to fight YT adblockers and that is also consistent with YT being money-losing or barely profitable.

I hope Mr. Silverbrook understands how hollow that reasoning is in the post-OceanGate era.
Preparation helps for any test, simply because tests have a specific structure, format, expectations for how answers are to be given etc. That doesn't mean that test scores are indicators only of preparation.

Even a native speaker of English might not get a full score on the TOEFL or the IELTS if they are unaware of the format etc. That doesn't mean the TOEFL isn't fundamentally a strong test of the knowledge of English.

Another way of looking at it: Athletes need training and coaching, but that doesn't mean any random guy paired with a coach will become a top athlete.

True. I never assumed that, though I see now why my phrasing could imply it. You're right - they're probably not stepping in that court. But even if they did, it would take years.

My other point - ICC can issue secret warrants, and no denial would be credible due to its very nature... This is poison to Gantz's political career and same for any active general who would want to join the current opposition following service. The current Israeli opposition is just not competitive without generals, and all they've left are certain people who are very... outspoken to put it mildly.

It’s backfired in a large UK organisation too but they just won’t publicly admit it.
My guess is that if you use it long enough for it to start being useful, you'll find that "replicable builds" solves a wider variety of problems than you initially thought it did.

At that point, the hard part becomes getting your co-workers to recognize that all of these little problems that they perceive as separate are actually just facets of the the same huge nondeterminism problem.
You need to give the first gift, however. Time. And lot of it.
It has helped me immensely. I am not bs-ing when I say I feel refreshed after just 15 mins of focusing on my breathing. It is very hard at first and gradually becomes easier but has yet to be easy. YMMV but I just wanted to give you my honest two cents.
If they are 50 years old, they are already, it may be hidden but the concrete cancer has most definitely kicked in at that point. Don't worry it's not going to have dramatic structural impact for the next 50 years, but at some point the bill will start coming to try and keep the building from falling apart. Until it's not economical to do so…
Sure, but what would the charge be? (I'm in the UK, here such is definitely illegal.)
This is pretty much quintessential founder behavior. I have had my run-ins with people like this, and the relationship is usually short lived. I do not drink the kool-aid, and question pretty much everything. These types of personalities are like oil and water and do not mix. You almost need a third person to act as a emulsifier to allow the oil&water to mix without separating.
Don't you think that it's strange that Hamas, aiming to kill as many civilians as possible, on October 7th killed exactly the same proportion of civilians to military as Israel is doing in Gaza?
instructor-go – Structured LLM Outputs in Go
instructor-go is a port of the popular Python package https://github.com/jxnl/instructor.

This implementation uses `jsonschema` and Go struct tags to send data and schema information to the model to return the appropriate response schema.

Currently, OpenAI and Anthropic are supported, and you can see all examples of different capabilities here: https://github.com/instructor-ai/instructor-go/tree/main/exa....

This is in early development and would love some feedback.

Thanks for checking it out!

This quote actually makes me disgusted. I don't think this is a quality to encourage on, especially since despite the tone it reads more as abuse.

Have you ever looked at Ivy League university ads from 100 years ago? They're often about giving your son a well-rounded education in the liberal arts so that he's equipped to take over the family business.

So there's an idea. Instead of forcing your kids to grind, you could leave them stakes in a business. Either yours, or one you build together with them.

That's just one idea. There are many unconventional life paths that pay out better than the grind, and better equip your children. You just need to get a bit creative.

It’s definitely sketchy (classic OpenAI) But my question is: is what they did actually illegal? Can someone copyright their own voice?
This reads like a PR stunt. Why did they clone the voice from Her?
I realize that the charges are different and clearly attributed to each party they are brought against. The optics of this will still practically lead to people equating both parties and the charges. An alternative (ie seeking both warrants separated by time (ie a week) and space (different press releases)) would have been better.

Again I'm all for investigating whether war crimes have been committed by Israel. It's going to be a nuanced argument in any case to prove so that will probably involve how many civilian casualties are acceptable to achieve legitimate military aims.

The contrast must be pointed out by all who want nations and non state actors to be accountable for their actions.
+1 to everything you've mentioned, well said. These are I believe facts and it makes the solution nearly impossible but I really believe that there must be a solution to this setup.

It's almost like we're stumbling into how this is one of the trickiest geopolitical issues in the last hundred years...

There's an inverse to what you're saying (which I don't disagree with) which is that if Israel does nothing in response to Hamas aggression, and just lets Hamas + it's allies keep bulling, Israeli's will die and their citizenry will be radicalized to do something in response.

This has been the pattern in this region since literally day 1 of Israel being acknowledged as a country. It's two irreconcilable groups locked into a situation where neither can meaningfully (or "safely") de-escalate; a clean solution is really unlikely to emerge.
That depends on who is in power. I don't think Jeremy Corbyn's Labour government would have apologized.
Only works if your issue is getting through to the hiring manager and getting approved.

Ultimately, what I’m seeing is that companies are just more picky when it comes to interviewing too. Everyone is asking harder or less common leetcode questions than before and are evaluating more strongly than before.

It’s significantly harder to get an offer these days even if you get an interview.

Copilot is a game-changer in coding, helping developers with real-time suggestions and code snippets. However, it's controversial because it relies on large datasets scraped from public code repositories. This raises intellectual property issues and concerns about algorithmic bias, as Copilot's suggestions are influenced by that data. Despite that, it's super useful, but Microsoft needs to address the legal and ethical issues around data usage and bias to keep it on the right track.
The first, second, and fourth charges in the indictment[1] is for violating 18 USC 1466A(a)(1)/(b)(1)/(d)(1)/(d)(4), which are the statutes against producing/distributing/possessing an "obscene" "drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting" "depict[ing] a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct".

If you're born wealthy, it's easy to die wealthy (unless you both have access to, and are stupid enough to actively destroy, your wealth.) If you're born poor, it's easy to die poor. The middle class is the only group that has to reproduce itself every generation. The middle class is shrinking due to technology, immigration, foreign competition, dogshit labor laws, and simple scaling (just because you had three kids doesn't meant that it will now take 1.5 kids to do your abstract job.)

It leads to desperation and superstitious behavior; people trying to exactly repeat things that they've seen and experienced, consulting trendy oracles and gurus, and rationally trying to maximize the number of things that they try in the hope that one or more will save their children from a lifetime of gigwork.

If you don't push your kids like that, and they end up successful, others will just say you were lucky. If they end up failures, they'll say you failed them.
