In fact, go to far as to argue your example of Authors Guild v. Google is a good indication that most cases will probably go an AI platform's way. It's a pretty parallel case to a number of the arguments. Indexing required ingesting whole works of copyright material verbatim. It utilized that ingested data to produce a new commercial work consisting of output derived from that data. If I remember the case correctly, google even displayed snippets when matching a search so the searcher could see the match in context, reproducing the works verbatim for those snippets and one could presume (though I don't recall if it was coded against), that with sufficiently clever search prompts, someone could get the index search to reproduce a substantial portion of a work.

Arguably, the AI platforms have an even stronger case as their nominal goal is not to have their systems reproduce any part of the works verbatim.

Now try pasting it into your terminal, or any of a large number of other tools that doesn't support HTML.

Now try doing the same with CSTML, in applications that so support HTML.

Now consider how little that markup contributed to the semantics of the text here - most of it can be stripped and the text retains it's meaning.

Then consider how long it took for HTML to percolate through these applications despite HTML - unlike CSTML- having universal utility.

And here's the thing: As someone with a history of writing compilers, parsers, language tools over 30+ years, CSTML is too verbose for me to want to use even for tooling. It's way too low level even as an internal representation for tooling.

It also still doesn't help:
You still will need a compact textual representation anyway so people can represent it in contexts where the tooling doesn't exist, or can't exist, such as paper and handwriting, and speech.

All I can do is encourage you to try. If you succeed, great, and if not you will understand the difficulties involved.

I've tried the custom syntax representation (though I used XML which saved me from writing a custom parser) - it turned out to just be an obnoxious detour. I tried syntax aimed at removing ambiguity in round-trips, and it sort of worked but got too verbose. I tried a purely visual approach, and hence why I'm so insistent you need to be able to roundtrip to text. I spent years trying things and looking at others attempts.

I'd love to be wrong, but I very much don't expect any big breakthroughs in this area in decades - the attempts I keep seeing keep repeating all the same mistakes with few signs of lessons learned.

What's wrong with it? Perhaps I'm weird, I love flying and always look forward to my next flight, bonus points if its a long one.

It forces me to unplug from the internet, so I always bring along my kindle to take a decent chunk out of my book backlog.

Of course I have my laptop too, though its not useful for much besides cataloging my knowledge base and getting a head start on essays for school.

I'm curious why many people seem to dislike flying. I wonder if its more of an introvert/extrovert split or a young/old one. I want nothing more than to be able to do my own thing undisturbed, and flights are the perfect avenue for that.
Indeed. Bioshock 1 remains my favourite game - even after all these years, the parallels in the story between Rapture and our modern world remain as relevant as ever.
I had that CD and remember the short tracks but never thought of playing it on shuffle that way.

> Why are we allowing a vast minority of people to rewrite our social norms?

Any group has a small cluster of leaders that has control (often tiny, like generals in an army). They aren't necessarily in line with the opinions of the group (I'd speculate generals are probably more willing than the troops to send people to their deaths).

It is expected that a small minority of people will write the social norms. The only real question is which minority, and there is a constant scuffle between different minorities to be the ones with power. The ones presently with power think the situation is fine, and the ones without power think that changes is urgent!

Sigh.

Ukraine begged to join NATO because they saw this coming a mile off.

They’re still begging.

Asking to join the neighbourhood security watch is offensive only to burglars.

PS: If your argument over NATO membership is a valid one, then why is Russia not equally upset about Sweden and Finland joining NATO? Why not invade those sovereign nations on their border as well to prevent their membership? Is it because they don't particularly care about NATO unless it gets in the way of a planned invasion? Could that be it?

I don't think that's something you can take away from the little-guy big-guy narrative. Class actions are funded by courts awarding lawyers huge payouts if they win, not directly by the plaintiffs. There should be plenty of resources on both sides of this fight.
It most certainly started years ago when Russia invaded and annexed parts of Ukraine in 2014. Ukraine was lukewarm at best to the idea of NATO before that (and in fact, substantial parts of it were very pro-Russia, a sentiment which quickly changed when they saw what happened to the people in the areas of Ukraine under Russian control).

I also hate Docker and think it only exists because modern design principles have failed. Reliably launching a software program shouldn't be difficult. But instead we've chosen to rely on a big ugly fragile ball of global system/environment state. And the only way to even launch a program is with heavyweight containers.

Running a computer program shouldn't require a Docker image. Which in turn alleviates the need to use gross environment variables.
Is the Annin AR4 the Workhorse Robot Arm for You?
Was curious so I just looked up my car's ACC numbers. Setting 3 is 1.8 seconds and setting 4 (the max) is 2.3 seconds, so about 220 feet at 65mph. As another poster said its pointless to be this far back because everyone else just overtakes you to fill the gap, so you're always braking and accelerating and averaging a smaller distance than in setting 3.
"One of the top" is a nice weasel phrase. Lightning strike is one of the top causes of death in the US too, for a large enough number of causes. Not wearing a seat belt caused more deaths than speeding, yet cars don't refuse to start without a seat belt.

That "politically vulnerable" point is good. Almost all public transit ends up heavily subsidized, so the argument for free is that it's not a huge difference, and it reduces the costs involved in collecting fees / enforcement etc. But yeah, it's easier for political winds to blow against it.
I enjoy how you removed the “I think” qualifier which suggested that it’s very possible that you’re right.

I’m quite well read on the DMCA but admit you probably know far more about how Nintendo wields it.

Still, I suggest that it’s a lot more likely that GitHub is going to get sued than you or GP.

Finally, I believe using the legal system to bully independent software developers is, in legal terms, super lame. We are probably in the same side here.
The most obvious thing that should be done instead is to make an API spec that AIs can consume for your service, a common spec that if you target, any AI assistant can talk to freely.

So, Chrome. Disappointing to announce it as 'upgrade your DOM'.

Most intensive computations are done in JS, which is not related to the DOM and can be ran in Web Workers if you need parallel execution.

What are these “parameters” by which performance is measured?

You’re all programmers, you all set parameters all the time that are completely arbitrary, you design the systems through which actions are performed. What does it mean to be a great musician, to be able to write music as good as Mozart? But Mozart never wrote anything as good as Mozart! To be great means breaking the boundaries of all values, to create something that goes beyond being merely “good enough”; good enough according to some standard set by somebody else.

Hit your targets, maybe you’ll be good. We should not be raising kids to be “good enough”…infact, let them be terrible! I’d rather they be awful at everything in every concievable way then hit the same targets over and over again.

> It’s all part of one of the central themes that accumulating merit is for the phenomenal world and ultimately meaningless for the transcendent.

I feel confused about something.

Even though you've read the prajnaparamita sutra and words like 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form', you say there is a phenomenal world and a transcendent world. But the phenomenal world can't be impermanent if it is not born and doesn't die. Although possibly apocryphal, the sutra of immeasurable meanings has a sentence like the nature of true reality is that appearance and no appearance not apart from each other. That is to say, it seems that the things like Bodhisattvas referenced in the Lotus Sutra may need to be understood with the background training that transcendent wisdom means that the phenomenal world is the transcendent world. It isn't that they don't exist but that Buddha's enlightenment was explained, as you know, to not have been obtaining anything distinct. I take it to mean that enlightenment needs to be in and about the entirety of real life.

It's been said sometimes to be a waste of time to debate whether a certain thing exists or doesn't exist because, for one, a thing cannot be said to exist to anything else in the universe if it is totally isolated, i.e. not been localized by any other system yet, and cannot be entangled with. A controlled experiment could be said to basically mean "one unknown to vary (hopefully)". But entanglement is a reality.

"Anyone who, for even a moment, gives rise to a pure and clear confidence upon hearing these words of the Tathagata, the Tathagata sees and knows that person, and they will attain immeasurable merit because of this understanding."

The actual valid counterargument is maybe Anthropic does't care about bigbench and nor should they have to, google can make up any benchmark it wants, anthropic does't have to use or care about it, or ignore it, or anything else.

However, let's assume they should care because it's a major benchmark from an industry leader.

The entire point of the canary string is that LLMs are supposed to discard / ignore it and data found on the same document.

After all, the documentation literally says

""Do not edit the canary comments. These are to prevent BIG-bench tasks from leaking into web-scraped training data.""

Anthropic did not do that (they obviously HAVE scraped data containing the GUID), therefore it is demonstrably a gotcha.

e.g. it should ignore both

https://github.com/google/BIG-bench/blob/main/bigbench/bench...

AND

https://github.com/google/BIG-bench/tree/main

Even though the latter is the readme, it has the guid, and there's no reason not to ignore every document containing the GUID.

So, if Anthropic wants to ignore it, fine, but it still feels a little fishy, doesn't it?

No. The depositor has a relationship with Mercury. Mercury has relationships (directly or indirectly) with FDIC insured banks.

Even if one could prove a direct link between the depositor and the FDIC insured bank (making the insurance relevant), the depositor has given Mercury the right to move money in and out of the FDIC insured accounts.

Even if one could prove the money was illegally taken, FDIC insurance is for bank failure. Not for theft.
> The copilot team rushed to slap a copyright filter on top to keep these verbatim examples from showing up, and now claims they never happen.

Well if the copyright filter is working they indeed aren't happening. Putting in safe gaurds to prevent something from happening doesn't mean you're guilty of it. Putting a railing on a balcony doesn't imply the balcony with railing is unsafe.

> LLMs are prone to paraphrasing. Just because you filter out verbatim copies doesn't mean there isn't still copyright infringement/plagiarism/whatever you want to call it

Copyright infringement and plagerism are different things. Stuff can be copyright infringement without being plagerized, and can be plagerized without being copyright infringement. The two concepts are similar but should not be conflated, especially in a legal context.

Courts decide based on laws, not on gut feeling about what is "fair".

> They clearly know the problem is real

They know the risk is real. That is not the same thing as saying that they actually comitted copyright infringement.

A risk of something happening is not the same as actually doing the thing.

> "Ner ner ner ner ner, you can't prove it to a boomer judge".

Its always a cop-out to assume that they lost the argument because the judge didn't understand. I suspect the judge understood just fine but the law and the evidence simply wasn't on their side.
It's required to work at all, not just as some kind of guard rail. It's like the oil in a normal bearing, the oil isn't just to prevent a crankshaft crash in case the car is jolted while in operation, the oil is a part of the way the thing functions at all in the first place.

It's important to note that private companies in Japan didn't always function as fully independent entities from the government (obviously there is going to be rent-seeking as almost always happens), there is a pretty complicated history of post ww2 industrial + government growth that had some form of public good (or social contract whichever you prefer) baked into it.

It's interesting that you mention it was privatized in 1987, which corresponds to the economic bubble that was happening from 1986 to 1991, which burst leaving a so called "lost generation" of people growing up in basically stagnation. And from what I understand the Japanese economy is still not the rocket ship it once was..
L4S (or at least, the dualq implementation) uses a shallow buffer. You can't get 1000ms of latency if your buffer is only 15ms. Although the title claims there's no way round latency spikes, their paper [1] explores the case where latency spikes are traded off against allowing packet loss, which is what you're going to get if you fill a shallow buffer. For real-time traffic, packet dropping is usually preferable.

of course it does. you steal 20 deoderant sticks, 3 jugs of laundry detergent, 6 packs of gillete razors, and a couple of 12 packs of RX Bars, and you can fence that for $60-80 in SF. You can easily do a couple of fencing runs a day. conservatively thats $2400 a month if you do 2x runs a day 5 days a week lol. Plenty of people in SF make a living like this. Every couple of months the feds catch a fencing operation selling millions of dollars of stolen items on ebay a year.

Deoderant in particular is incredibly profitable because it sells super well on ebay. Just search old spice deoderant on ebay and look at all of the obviously stolen merchandise.

It's funny though, because it kinda creates tons of jobs. the highly incompetent just steal and sell to fencers, the semi-incompetent buy stolen goods and fence them on ebay, and poor consumers get to buy slightly cheaper goods on ebay. the only people who lose are stores elling goods, and consumers who have to ask salespeople to open the locked up merchandise.
Ah, I met many Ivy League kids, and I got the impression that while they were smart, they were moreso neurotic. (That is, unless their parents were rich!) Why should we let our society be run by a bunch of neurotic control freaks dead set on hitting targets? A place no different from Hell!
Women often eventually discover they want children and are on a tight timeline. Men do too, but they are not on the timeline. They can start families at virtually any time in their life.

By biasing work income towards men it gives women a larger selection of men to choose from to start families with while they are fertile. It also incents them to move sooner rather than work their own career longer to achieve their lifestyle goals, which conflicts with their fertility timeline.

It's sad seeing my older female friends reaching the end of their fertility and realizing they don't want to live lives without children and families, but being at a disadvantage in the relationship market because the men they consider to be at their level are seeking younger women.

And to give a concrete example, in my view it should be allowed to use any source code to train a model such that the model learns that code is bad or insecure or slow or otherwise undesirable. In other words, it should be allowed to train on anything as long as the model does NOT produce that training data verbatim.
