Such movie scenes also imply the parents were directly involved in the creation of their own facsimiles (or just lived in a society where everyone has neural-clone babysitters as a matter of course), and the technology involved is assumed to be advanced enough to be indistinguishable from magic, not a GPT chatbot’s crude pantomime.

Do you think that neither is relevant to doing such a thing with “respect and honor”?
I actually find the quality of programming books to have starkly increased in the last decade. I find a lot of manning's and o'reilly's release to have a pretty long shelf-life.

For example, I really enjoyed and often go back to:

- https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/building-event-driven-m...

- https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-data-intensiv...

- https://www.manning.com/books/100-go-mistakes-and-how-to-avo...

- https://www.amazon.com/Systems-Performance-Brendan-Gregg/dp/...

And more recently:

- https://www.manning.com/books/build-a-large-language-model-f...

- https://www.manning.com/books/the-creative-programmer

- https://www.manning.com/books/the-programmers-brain

- https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Software-Addison-Wesley...

I also find books about specific technologies that indeed run the risk of being deprecated after a few years to be useful too

- https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/networking-and-kubernet...

- https://www.brendangregg.com/bpf-performance-tools-book.html

Furthermore, nothing keeps you from reading books about topics peripheral to computer science, say to keep up with the general vibes:

- https://www.amazon.com/Probabilistic-Machine-Learning-Introd...

- https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Learning-Foundations-Christopher...

- https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Abstraction-Exploration-Category-...

I find that all of these contribute significantly to my growth as an engineer.
Users are not Chrome's customers. Even if Chrome is separated into a separate company that would still be true. Users are unlikely to pay for a browser when every OS comes with a free one.

Some companies that want to be the default search (unless the gov bans that) or, some companies that want to be the default new tab page, would likely be the actual customers

An exception might be Chromebook users. It's not clear how that would break out. Especially in light of ChromeOS being cancelled for Android
Back in the day, piracy was seen as a symbol of free speech and censorship much like how abortion is still a symbol for women's rights today.

The premise was that these services didn't actually perform the piracy, its users did. Kim Dotcom played both sides of the field, much like how social media platforms are right now with the whole "we're not a media company" but wanting all the profits of providing services that those companies do.

I'm not saying I agree, but it provides context as to why people felt Kim Dotcom was a hero.
So in a nutshell the whole genre can be reduced to "be careful what you wish for, you might get it"?

It’s a weird technicality of copyright law. When a human teacher plays a song that is a private performance of a composition. When a computer plays a song copyright law treats this as a mechanical copy of the composition and public performance of the composition. When a computer displays musical notation for a composition that is also a mechanical copy.

Private performance of a composition is permitted under copyright law. Creating a mechanical copy and making a public performance requires a licence from a copyright owner and so without that licence there is, in the eyes of copyright law, a breach of copyright.
With regards to the ultimate thrust of my comment, to a greater or lesser degree than ordinary "consumers" (I hate that term) within monopoly-dominated product or service fields?

Is there any investment category in which an institutional really has only, say, 1--3 options? Because that is the relevant comparison.

I'm going to posit that investment markets are overall more competitive than consumption markets.

(They may have other issues, including some that, of all people, Matt Ridley's pointed out. I believe it's somewhere in this discussion with Johan Norberg and David Runciman, which I've listened to previously but not just now in referencing it: "The New Optimism" on Intelligence Squared, <https://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/the-new-optimism-...>. It's worth listening to on its own. I'll admit to being partial to Team Runciman myself, but Ridley's comment on asset markets has been bouncing around my noggin for a while.)
Disney+ isn't considered a necessity. Now imagine this in the ToS for the Samsung Note 7 that kept spontaneously combusting. "Yeah we knowingly sold you a fire hazard because the cost of fixing it wasn't worth our time, get fucked." Now imagine that's your Tesla or your smart oven.

Forced arbitration shouldn't even be a thing.
I've been told the whole Genesis narrative was essentially political propaganda based on the Babylonian creation account in the Enuma Elish and written during the Babylonian exile.

I don't know how accurate that is but they do share similarities and given the relative cultural influence of Babylon I wouldn't doubt some influence was there.
At what point would you draw the line for direct action?
These are sampling artifacts, but I believe yorbwa is correct in distinguishing these from conflation artifacts, as defined in Kilgard & Bolz. I think of the latter as compositing not commuting exactly with antialiasing (sampling). You only get conflation artifacts when compositing multiple shapes (or rendering a single shape using analytical area when the winding number is not everywhere 0 or 1), while you definitely see aliasing when rendering a single shape, say a Siemens star.
Imagine OpenAI put all their code and all their work in a public repo so someone can modify it and sell it without permission. Oh wait... they wouldn't do that.

> Presumably a lot of people using these image and video generators are narrative creators of a kind too, like video game developers, music video makers, etc. Are they also bad guys?

Was their a dearth of video games or music videos before generative AI became mainstream? Yeah, creating takes resources and time and effort and dedication, usually for very little reward.

If these companies can't exist without stealing everyone else's work than maybe they should hire creators with their billions or license the material.
Mandatory car insurance, in theory, moves money from drivers (proportional to the risk they represent) to victims (proportional to the damages caused), plus a cut for the insurance company.

I'm missing something in your flow of ideas. Is it a welfare benefit because that idealized theory of insurance is itself a welfare benefit or because when insurance is mandated it doesn't live up to expectations?
How does Google Cloud (I mean GCP, not Workspace) fit in to that idea?

This reads as if the author set out to make a point about modern traditionalism, got distracted with Renaissance literature halfway through, and then gave up on the piece with three or four paragraphs still to write.

It's a shame. Something a little trenchant about the vacuity of "forward unto the past" would've made a better read than this.
The blog post references translating between English and Indian Sign Language (ISL). I interpreted that to mean translating between spoken English and ISL, not ASL and ISL.

Regardless, I’m curious how (dis)similar ISL is to ASL.
If you're documenting technical things (what markdown is most commonly used for) underscores need to be displayed all the time because they are common in all sorts of resource and variable names.
I'm aware that some people find the news as it exists largely useless. I'm going to suggest that this is in fact a symptom of the larger problem I'm referencing.

And that news can be useful, even vital at times. And performs a critical role in a democratic polity. One which is increasingly not being performed, most especially at the local and regional level.

And that the proposals I'm making in TFA might be worth discussion in that light.

Thanks.

We survived 10k requests/second: Switching to signed asset URLs in an emergency
Earlier this week someone started hitting our Google Cloud Storage bucket with 10k requests a second... for 7 hours. I realized this while working from a coffee shop and spent the rest of the day putting in place a fix.

This post goes over what happened, how we put an a solution in place in hours and how we landed on the route we took.

I'm curious to hear how others have solved this same problem – generating authenticated URLs when you have a public API.

this isn't about safety, though; hcreate() and hsearch() don't support having two hash tables in the same process at the same time, not even in an unsafe way. that also makes them non-reentrant, but that isn't the main problem!
Nice! I've also made a little multiplayer game using Rust and Javascript. I used warp for the server, which communicates to a vanilla js frontend through websockets. You can play it on rpsbrawl.com. I've added some bots too as I never expected many players.
What differentiates you from i.e. Arroyo and Fluvio?
Yes, travel speed is the first part of 'You are missing speed, and acceleration, and load time.' :)

In those SF stories, moving sidewalks were more then 5kph. "The Caves of Steel" had parallel strips, each at a faster speed. Quoting https://archive.org/details/robotnovels0000isaa/page/10/mode... :

"He stepped from strip to strip with the ease of a lifetime’s practice. Children learned to “hop the strips” as soon as they learned to walk. Baley scarcely felt the jerk of acceleration as his velocity increased with each step. He was not even aware that he leaned forward against the force. In thirty seconds he had reached the final sixty mile-an-hour strip and could step aboard the railed and glassed-in moving platform that was the expressway.'"

60 mph is 100 kph.

"The Roads Must Roll" had a similar design. The first version (quoting https://archive.org/details/pastthroughtomor0000robe/page/42... ) was:

"based on the ore belt conveyors of ten years earlier. The fastest strip moved only thirty miles per hour, and Was quite narrow, for no one had thought of the possibility of locating retail trade on the strips themselves. Nevertheless, it was a prototype of social pattern which was to dominate the American scene within the next two decades—neither rural, nor urban, but partaking equally of both, and based on rapid, safe, cheap, convenient transportation."

The first high-speed road went 80 mph. https://archive.org/details/pastthroughtomor0000robe/page/44... .

If we look to the moving sidewalks of now to understand the future dreams of the 1950s, then we should of course also look at the PRT systems of now to understand the problems with the Las Vegas loop.
I’m just not sure about this article. To me, it seems like these large homebuilders can only efficiently operate in tract housing so if you want to live in the middle of nowhere and have total uncertainty regarding the quality of the neighborhood that you live in and quality of the schools, etc because they just built it and pay through the nose for a brand new home, you can buy into tract housing, but I think many people want to live in established neighborhoods, where newly built homes are custom built and they mostly aren’t built by these new companies or they have to build large condos or apartments, because that’s the only way to efficiently add large numbers of units. High housing prices are the result of the fact that most people purchase used homes, because the risk of purchasing a used home in an established neighborhood is simply lower and there just aren’t that many used homes, because people want to live in established neighborhoods.

> and that training models doesn't constitute fair use

How can it not constitute fair use? They both made no copies of that data (copyright infringement) nor did they commit actual theft by stealing the data from some vault. Everything else is permitted. For that matter, this is equivalent to some human artist studying a piece of art and then starting to create art in that same style too... is that no longer fair use?

There are some court rulings so bad that the judge should just be removed from the bench.

> could affect the market for the original product

Oh, that makes more sense. The "negative movie reviews for newly released films is copyright infringement" argument. Nice.

" The Design of Everyday Things" is a great non-programming book that programmers should read. It tells you why/how you should make things more usable for your users. If you find yourself failing to use something properly, it's not you being stupid, it's the design.

Design of doors is famously known example from this book.

A job that requires a security clearance is not a job that I want to be doing, ever.
The problem of so-called "break-up" option is that there are not many buyers who can afford operating those services (those costs at least billions every year even if those could be purchased for free) and those who can afford are already serious monopolists. Imagine MS buying Chrome, Meta buying AdWords, Apple buying Android etc etc. You probably don't want that.

Other feasible way to avoid this would be keeping Google ads to subsidize them, but then what's the point of change? This is why the remedy should touch very specific illegal practices. Structural changes need proper legislation which targets the entire market. Otherwise, you'll just see balloon effects in action.
Right now the main paying user of Chrome is Google as a tool to deliver product integrations and guarantee browser based ad delivery. It's just that all of that is seen as internal expense in developing Chrome instead of an external source of revenue from Chrome. If Chrome were split off the main paying user of Chrome would probably be large enterprises and educational institutions - that'd be a massive change.

I'm not sure it'd really make sense to split Chrome off on its own or not though. Maybe Chrome/ChromeOS/Android as a base software platform for consumers, businesses, and schools.

Because the US and NZ have an extradition treaty.
Those should allow it too. Them setting a bad precedent doesn't mean we should continue to abide by it, just that there's more work to be done undoing it.
> This is outright wrong.

Oh good. I'm glad internet rando has straightened that out.

>Academics are not selected for bravery, they're selected for conformity.

Haha, this is laughable. You know which academics are held in highest regard? Those that moved the field from a previous belief to a new belief based on better evidence.

> They're very politically partisan

That's demonstrably false; like the population at large, they are not exceptionally politically partisian - this is how a certain US political party projects it to account for appealing to the uneducated or to ignore evidence.

The majority of academics are the same as regular populace, except they try to follow accurate evidence. That one US party actively tried to downplay and ignore evidence makes the causality go the other direction, in the same manner that when the same party embraced evidence a few decades back that they claimed academia was more in their camp.

Heck, even JD Vance writes on this - he realizes the right lost academia, not by academia moving left or right, but from the right moving away from evidence.

> or Marxian

Anyone thinking some large percentage of academics are "Marxian" is a sure sign of not understanding either term.
Manifest v3 exists to increase security and privacy, not to break ad blockers. I suspect that an independent Chrome would implement it even faster because they don't have to worry about the perception that they're doing it for ads.
It looks great, but didn't Amazon burn through $170 million for their Fire Phones with a 3D effect that consumers simply didn't care for? It's such a cool gimmick that has absolutely no practical use (except on the Nintendo 3DS).

Getting a DMCA for one user's copy of a file doesn't mean every other user's copy is violating copyright. And that's not a theoretical concern, I remember a recent tweet about google drive having false positives in that exact way.

> Using 12000-year-old stories to support the thesis that oral history is more durable than written history is only logical if we have reason to believe that written history also existed then.

It becomes even less logical when you consider that the oral "history" has probably changed multiple times in that 12000 years.

How on earth do you verify that a 12000 year old story that you hear today is the same story that was initially told 12000 years ago?
The US can split the crawler yesterday into its own business though, which could sell access to that index and the execute training operations over it
The nineteenth century, hell. I have to limit the grammatical complexity I use here, or expect to be fussed at by people asking for summarization.

Or, lately, pasting into ChatGPT, I suppose. There's a thought: I wonder if I could develop a style that's consistent with the rules of English grammar and reads naturally to the fluent, but is also too complex for LLMs to reliably summarize. It'd be a pure gimmick, of course, but it still might be fun to play around with...
I think people in the US overestimate how much upzoning "has to" affect most neighborhoods, especially infill development or removing default single-family home zoning. I used to live in Minneapolis, which has lots of century-old duplexes and fourplexes mixed in with single-family homes on similar lot sizes. Traffic, activity/noise, appearance, and overall "niceness" were almost the same as on single-family-only blocks -- but the bump in density supported lots of corner stores and restaurants in walking distance that made people want to live there or visit the neighborhood for the day.

Part of the apprehension might be caused by the difficulty of rezoning itself. The only people with the determination and money to get a zoning variance are big developers who need a big building to make it worthwhile. That's how you get 50- or 100-unit apartments going up in single-family neighborhoods, and a "missing middle" of density and affordability.
Hi, I made this site (po-ng.netlify.app) and I would be happy (actually: grateful) to receive opinions, advice or constructive criticism.

Context: initially it was a site made with the sole purpose of training my skills with the canvas tag, and a replica of pong seemed to me a project both fun and interesting to develop. Over time the little project grew and included both a page that briefly retraces the history of Pong and a ranking page. Plus, it's a nice project to place in my portfolio.

My take is that there is still some room for improvement in terms of design and specifically font-size, but it could just be my impression.

Obviously I know that it is neither an original idea nor revolutionary in any way, but these are not the premises with which the project began, so I don't want to make it seem like it's something which is not.

For the ones wondering, FE made with HTML, SCSS, TypeScript, BE made with Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB + some small libraries

Thx in advance for any possible feedback.
Even the fair use argument is putting the cart before the horse. I would think these plaintiffs need to convince a court that the works are derivative first, and iff they are derivative, then the fair use argument can be made (that the reproduction is not a copyright infringement, {because e.g., the result is substantially different from the input}).

Asking "is it fair use for a [human/computer] to [study/be trained on] copyrighted works" simply does not make sense as a fair use question because the answer has always been "looking at a painting and internalizing it has nothing to do with fair use, of course studying the old masters is permitted." I'm far from convinced the answer should be any different here.

So to me they're barking up a non productive tree by trying to essentially say "the entire model is copyright infringement." Hopefully a judge/jury is not convinced. IMO it should be case by case for any given artifact, whether human or machine produced, does it infringe. Obviously a harder hill to climb for the plaintiffs.
The first response to the second comment says how.
