People have been writing books and creating art before intellectual property rights were enforced or even existed.

The highest selling book in the world, the bible, is free of copyright.

What incentive does an author have to write a book if they can't benefit from intellectual property? Perhaps self expression?
I wonder to what degree generative AI came before e.g. as in the article an AI that does your taxes because it's hard to be wrong, creatively. If I ask an AI for a painting of a dog commanding a fleet of starships, I'd be hard pressed to define, specifically, an incorrect result. There's wiggle room. Some results are more wrong or right than others, but I don't know that I'd ever hand back a grade of 0. And even if I did, so what? The stakes are low. Try again.

On the other hand, doing your taxes wrong is a thing. You can enumerate the possible mistakes. They're codified in law[0]. And these mistake have big stakes.

Generative AI is "safer" than an AI to do a specific task that has consequences.

[0] Yes, yes, I know, there's wiggle room here too and that's why we have courts
I don't think AI has made me enjoy programming less. If anything it has made me love it even more. The biggest benefit for me is that it has helped me with procrastination. Instead of "I'll do it tomorrow" I will just ask the AI when I need to do something I don't feel like doing.
What does “correction” look like in your opinion? PE impacts quite a lot of the job force, 8-9% of GDP; do these companies get sold, or just squeezed dry, to try and recoup investments during zirp?
I believe the general consensus is that if they served the coffee cooler, by the time take-out customers got around to drinking it, it would be cold. Erring on the side of too hot maximizes customer satisfaction because the number of customers who would be upset at cold coffee is greater than the number of customers, buying coffee at McDonalds, who have sophisticated coffee tastes.

Anyway, Starbucks also serves their coffee about as hot as McDonalds. Turns out, coffee hot enough to cause horrific injury is rather common.

This is such an incredibly bizarre victimhood mindset that I feel like I must be misunderstanding it. Degrading a utility for everyone else is fine because of some perceived wrong by society done to your in group?

From my understanding, most of the WASM performance improvement expectations have been around the cost of calling browser APIs from within WASM. The performance itself is basically near native speed with a small overhead for the cost of bounds checking/wrapping the memory block. Last I checked, most WASM apps are calling DOM APIs through a javascript middleman, which obviously sucks for performance. But native importing of DOM APIs is something that I believe was being worked on and could be here soon?

More people would be "lucky enough to have the time to hone skills" if investment in AI were directed towards solving actual problems.

As a former professional musician, let me tell you: the skills are not the problem here. People don't not make art because they don't have the skills. They don't make art because they have nothing to say, nothing to express.

The skills are a byproduct of having a worldview, a perspective. And unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) AI can't help anyone with that.
I generate stories for my children, based on topics they learn in school, with visual and music, you guessed it, also generated.

If you remember their original teaser videos years ago and the writing around their product when they were in Stealth Mode, it had nothing to do with AI. The sales pitch was that it was the next iteration of an iDevice-like device with a unique form factor and method of interaction.

Only at the very end did they blast "AI AI AI AI" all over the marketing and rename it to "AI Pin" and have everything AI in AI their AI announcements AI talk AI about AI. It was pretty transparent what they were up to.
But that only stipulates that the third party has to make the code available if they've modified it.

This is fine if you expect people to want to modify the backend, but it won't stop people who only care about cloning the service.

Which is sort of the point, good software made available to as many people as possible as cheaply as possible, but it's not really protection against others who would monetize the software you wrote.

Curious what you think of intellectual property law in general. Trade dress, trade marks, written words, lyrics, distinctive visual styles, processes, melodies etc are all protected under various IP laws.

The laws did not anticipate AI models hoovering up all known IP without any permission from or compensation to its creators, but that does not mean that we cannot correct that and it does not mean those creators cannot or should not be able to assert rights and be compensated for violations.

> For most people driving a car with well over 100k miles, spending $10k to replace a battery is a total non-starter.

Well do the math with prices instead of miles.

If you think you need to replace the battery soon, and the EV is $8k cheaper, it's a tempting purchase. Just don't spend the $8k on something else.

If that's impossible because the battery car would have to go below free, then that could be a problem. But that's still way cheaper than EVs are right now. I wish we had that problem! And at that point in the future, the fix is cheaper batteries, and it will happen.

> Some crashes that would be fixable for an older ICE car will require replacing the battery in an EV at a cost far greater than the car would be worth, making it non-viable. The battery is a risk factor that many people already worried about their finances won't want to take on.

I don't think the difference between "4% chance it's totalled in the next few years" and "5% chance it's totalled in the next few years" is a deal breaker. And that math is affected by so many other model-specific things too...
>> As of April 2024, five states—California, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New Jersey—used this method at the state supreme court level and four states used this selection method for at least one type of court below the supreme court level.

So we're only concerned about this for a few blue states' courts (and even in those cases there might be an electoral backstop permitting removal). Got it. I guess the correct answer here is for those states to change their laws to be more democratic by subjecting their judiciaries to elections and by passing state laws that criminalize bribery by state and local officials?

I'm glad we both agree that the legitimate political strategy of corruption and sympathetic political appointments has been going on for years, and been used by both parties. But you still haven't shown that it's accelerated in the past decade.

Unironically, yes. Detailed, nuanced, human level modeling of the world provides an interface with automation that allows for complex tasks and workflows to be built and trusted. "Go clean up the kitchen" might involve something where the question of "is this trash, or is this an adorable drawing made by a child that should be saved" or other such collisions between seemingly clear instructions and the vast context baked into the world requiring interpretation at a more-or-less human level. The system could even frame the above decision as "get clarification, or risk being thrown in the trash."

One of the huge advances in the last 5 years has been categorization of images, alongside segmentation, in conjunction with reasoning about categories. LLM chatbots and generative images and audios are the simplest and least nuanced uses of transformers, with the least friction between training and deployment of a product. Generative models tend to allow perception as detailed, varied, and nuanced as their output produces, and integration of these software capabilities will happen in new and surprising ways for many years to come.

TLDR; what they can create, they can see - advanced image models enable advanced computer vision.
Linters like Vale are pretty common for docs(-as-code).
I think that this quotation captures the essence of the problem.

It is nice to have the boring things automated - be it proofreading, generating mundane pieces of code, and stuff. The sad part

In programming (at least, for now), I feel that it is a net positive for my happiness - less stuff spent hunting simple omissions, checking StackOverflow, or checking (not always so complete) documentation of changes between version 0.4 and 0.5 of some library.

Yet, in other fields, it may be different. I am not a translator, but I did something for fun a few times (e.g. https://p.migdal.pl/blog/2019/10/the-statues-by-jacek-kaczma...). Now, with proper prompting, one can get very far (e.g. https://p.migdal.pl/blog/2023/05/genesis-az-by-gpt). For the first time, it gets me some existential chills, as it is taking away the joy of a linguistic puzzle of matching content, mood, atmosphere, and rhymes. It used to be an intellectual challenge only a real human being could do.

At some points, event sparks of genius in breakthrough scientific discoveries will be more like solving a crossword rather than something WE can add to the culture.
> They're all frustrating plastic things sitting in the corner.

> There's plenty of innovation left.

> Lists a bunch of features that either already exist or have no practical application

You're telling me there's lots of meat on the bone for innovation but then I'm not actually seeing anything that hasn't already existed that would make them not the same frustrating plastic things in the corner they are today.

Maybe it's just a marketing thing? I imagine most people wouldn't know a lot of the printers at Best Buy support print by email, clearly you didn't already know that was a thing. Stuff like IPP and AirPrint makes printing to a random network printer stupid simple without needing additional apps or whatever, but it seems every time I print from my phone it blows peoples' minds that I didn't have to plug in a cable. Other than HP consumer printers, generally printers I've used in at least Windows and Linux just work. Plug them into the network or add them to the WiFi, and then every computer in the home can see it and it works without needing to install 500MB of drivers and additional software.

Maybe not every product market has obvious innovations that are useful to consumers. Maybe sometimes things get mature. I'm not seeing a lot of innovation in forks or whatever. Generally, printers these days are pretty reliable. You can get them pretty dang tiny if you want. They can have pretty insane resolution for most consumer needs. They can talk wirelessly with highly standardized APIs that pretty much any computer or phone or tablet can talk.

Depends on how hard you need the job and how you tell it.

If you see the interview as on equal footing (they want to learn whether you fit the job and company, you want to learn whether the company and job fit you), you can be a bit critical.

You can do that without being negative, though. Knowing of a rough corner in their startup, you can ask “How did you avoid running into Foo?” or “how did you find time to move to 100% TypeScript?”.
We looked at latency-insensitive like YouTube and Netflix (which were a bit more than 50% of internet traffic last year [1]).

I'd bet you could do something similar with Meet and Zoom–my understanding is video bitrates for those services are lower than for e.g. Netflix which we showed are much lower than network capacities. But it might be tricky because of the latency-sensitivity angle, and we did not look into it in our paper.

This feels wrong, at face value. Even in modern English, if I say I have a number of things, I almost certainly don't have just one. This does /not/ mean that one is not a number. It /does/ mean that the word "number" can have several uses.
What I want when writing a signal handler is to be able to say, this function must be async-signal-safe and therefore all the functions it calls must be async-signal-safe. That can be done purely at compile time; I don’t need to worry about linking.

The annotation does not need to be portable; if it’s present on one system then other systems still benefit because the code is written to pass the check.

The list of async-signal-safe functions is well documented and quite short, so it would not be much work to add the annotations to the header files. It’s OK if some safe functions are omitted, because signal handlers should be written to do the absolute bare minimum.

What's the bar, though? If out of a million people reading a joke, 80% find it funny, 20% find it meh, and one solitary person needs the joke explained to them, I think it's still fair to call it a funny joke.
