> I don't agree because it creates this dilemma for creators: you need to put your work out there to get traction, but if you put your work out there and anything public is fair game, then it will be sampled by a computer and instantly recreated at scale. This might even happen without the operator knowing whose work is being ripped off.

This is no different than the current day, copying already happens (as your friends have seen) AI makes it a little easier but the same legal frameworks cover this - I don’t see why AI stealing is any different than a person doing the same thing. The ability to copy with zero cost was incredibly disruptive and incredibly beneficial to society. Settled case law will catch up and hopefully arrive at the same conclusion it has for human copyright infringement (is it close enough to warrant a case)

Just to add to this point further. Russia has vastly more combat aircraft than Ukraine, but has only been able to achieve local air superiority in a few areas of the contact line. Ukraine, without having anywhere close to the number of anti-air systems of advanced modern armies have denied most of its airspace to the Russian Airforce, and have shot down many aircraft including the A-50.

The key assumption is that stealth would enable the USAF to operate at will within or close to air defence zones, but this has not been tested against a near peer foe.
I agree about classwork, but I think many universities put a lot of effort into placing their students. Job fairs, resume classes, internships, student research, etc.

Personally, I suck at self promotion. The career aids offered by my school made a world of difference.

If it is not already, swatting someone should be considered a serious offense, like calling in a bomb threat. Baiting emergency police services to handle personal disputes is absolutely ridiculous.
> That's just how the internet works. Don't put something on the internet if you don't want it to be globally distributed and copied

Until now, this has been an acceptable tradeoff because there's some friction to theft. Directly cloning the work is easy, but that also means an artist can sue or DMCA. It also means the original artist's work can go more viral, which, despite the short-term downsides, can help their popularity long term.

The important difference is that imitating an artist's style with new work used to take significant time (hours or days). With an LLM, it takes milliseconds, and that model will be able to churn out the likes of your work millions of times per day, forever. That's the difference, and why the dilemma is new.

> Ultimately "AI did it" should never be allowed to be used an as an excuse

With the exception of an LLM directly plagiarizing, the only way to prove it didn't is by not allowing it to train on something. LLMs are the sum of everything. We could say the same about humans, sure, we are a model trained on everything we've ever seen too. But humans aren't machines who can recreate stuff in the blink of an eye, with nearly perfect recall, at millions of qps.
I have subscribed on and off to many different OF accounts. I usually just want to check out their spicy content, not chat or form a connection of any kind. But I have chatted with and formed connections with people on webcam streaming sites. I've also performed on streaming sites and met many awesome people through those interactions (and earned a tiny amount of money).

The OF content I pay for is usually from someone I discovered via Instagram or a camming site.

But the money I spend on camming sites is usually because it offers two things that aren't easily found elsewhere. 1) direct interaction with the models in real time and 2) seeing couples who are actually couples and have a real and pre-existing relationship. Part 2 is a tiny amount of camming content, but it is some of my all time favorite sex content.

I'm a big fan of the modular monolith pattern, but haven't used feature flags for the purpose you're describing. Do you use any specific tools or frameworks for that? I'd also imagine there would be calls between features from within the same codebase, do those become network calls? And how does this interact with your Docker Compose/single server recommendation?
Actually a university does neither. A university's job is to expose you to higher order thinking, and different ways of thinking. The rest is up to you.
Obesity does lower life expectancy by a lot, that is not 'the narrative'. The marginal utility of an anti-obesity drug goes beyond extending life expectancy into a huge number of areas that come together to increase quality of life, mobility, memory, and ability to live independently. With fewer young people to care for the rapidly aging population, making these people require less care overall is a necessity if we are going to ensure they live with dignity.
Okay, but it's plenty enough for a paid internship. Many of these students are going to transfer to a 4-year after this, so I don't know why this would be different.

Just trying to understand your argument: Samsung does it so that makes Apple ok? I hear a lot of people argue (when defending Samsung, Google Play, etc) that Apple does it so it's ok, but not usually the other way around. I guess it makes sense that it would devolve into the spiderman meme, but the real losers in that are everyone else that isn't making money from it.

Personally I thinks it's shitty when anybody does it.
Bingo. A BS is a great filter for hard working and higher IQ.

Guess who does really really good in sales? People who play varsity or college sports. Is it a rule? Nope. Is it a great heuristic? Yep. Does football teach you sales? Not really... but it does filter for certain traits, one of which is probably pure animal magnetism and the base desire of humans to be influenced bt the most fit individual.

But the hostage takers are the ones who created the hostage situation, not the police. They are the ones that caused the risk to the lives of the hostages - in fact that it the whole purpose of hostage taking, to use human lives as bargaining chips.

I understand it is rational to want the police to cooperate with hostage takers if you are a hostage. But if the police successfully orchestrate a rescue, how is it rational to prefer the hostage takers to the police? One created the problem, one solved it?
It's not a generalisation, it's an observation, most people do not drink black coffee. Even in Italy. And most of those that do, when asked, seem to provide a justification not based in flavour.
I don't agree at all. You're describing a trade school. A university does not care if you get a job. They only care that they've satisfied your academic interests enough to stay in the profession or continue your education. They offer extra services to help you find a job but it's completely voluntary so I don't equate extra motivation with "equipping".

Stepping away from this particular case, what does a well-executed Associate's degree for computer science look like? At top-tier schools (at least in the US, which is all I'm familiar with), there's an expectation that most of the incoming students already have a reasonable familiarity with the basics of programming, but that's unreasonable to expect for everyone entering college. And since it's useful to have some practical familiarity with programming before taking an algorithms class, it further seems like getting some sort of software engineering two-year degree would be a good use of time before either entering the workforce or deciding to cover some theory in the following two years (algorithms, computer architecture, compilers, etc.).

What would a two-year degree like that cover? A variety of useful languages plus their most common frameworks? Basic data structures? Common industry tools (git, CI, docker, linux)? Even though it doesn't fit very naturally into the US college experience, I'm wondering if a well-executed two-year "bootcamp" (for lack of a better term) could actually fill a gap that exists right now. It at least allows people to choose if they're interested in theoretical computer science or not. Theory is quite helpful, but not everyone wants/needs to opt in to math, proofs, etc.

Outside of courses, a college's alumni network is also pretty powerful. Four year colleges tend to have a pretty robust network where alumnis will advocate for their schools and come back to do recruiting including working with professors they had

In addition, colleges like to boast about their placement rates so they're incentivized to help keep that network robust

As a paramedic, we often do see these effects (and not withstanding the valid negatives of 'excited delirium') as a first order effect of synthetic cathinone ("bath salt") abuse:

- stripping down because of overheating - this also causes tachypnea (rapid breathing) as the body looks for any means, efficient or not, to try to bleed off excess heat

- frank bruxism (teeth grinding) to the point of craving 'gnawing' (this is where the "trying to eat people" sensationalist stories come from - there's no homicidal intent, it's 'just' "people are chewy")

- reflection fixation (often with glass). Similar to other psychoactives, reflections in glass provide a stimulant effect. With this, the most problematic thing is that some of the most common objects with glass in them are moving (i.e. cars), which heightens the effect, and causes a danger to self and others.

The challenge is that many of these behaviors, in public, are... "antisocial" and rapidly lead to police involvement.

Notwithstanding what I believe is cynical CYA by some "less-lethal" manufacturers to glom onto this, the small mercy in my area is that the higher levels of police command have directed that these situations be treated as the medical emergency they are, and not a law enforcement issue. Indeed, protocol here is that LE should be used for restraint both as a last resort, and for the shortest possible time before the patient can be transitioned to "chemical restraint", i.e. sedation, at least with capnography (to monitor breathing), if not active ventilation as needed.

Even that is only theoretical. Let's say that we were to wipe out a great amount of life on earth with a thermonuclear war or something, a lot of life would remain, even if we are talking about bacteria and other microorganisms. But even deep sea life that exists below a certain depth would likely remain largely unaffected.

Do yourself a favour and read the Tom Bower biographies of him, e.g. Branson: Behind The Mask

In fact, you can a get a good understanding of him indirectly through the testimony in Tubular Bells: the Mike Oldfield story https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=877&v=UQLDGpcgNTM e.g. John Giddings says of Branson "He was a chancer. He was prepared to gamble and go for it. He was percieved as a visionary, putting it all together, but really he was importing records illegally and flogging them, right? He was a second-hand car salesman."

Evolving Netflix's WebSocket Proxy
Yes, if one over-narrowly construes any analogy, it can be quickly dismissed. I suppose that's my fault for putting an analogy on the internet.

We've had copying technologies since people invented the pen. It was such an important activity that there were people who spent their whole lives copying texts.

With the rise of the printing press, copying became a significant societal concern, one so big that America's founders put copyright into the constitution. [1] The internet did add some new wrinkles, but if anything the surprise is is that most of the legal and moral thinking that predates it translated just fine to the internet age. That internet transmission happens to make temporary copies of things changed very little, and certainly not the broad principles.

I understand why Facebook and other people lining their pockets would like to claim that they are entitled to take what they want. But we don't have to believe them.

Speech isn't the problem, everybody can voice their opinions from the age they learn to speak.

It's the platforms the speech is carried over.

Are you broadcasting a message over television? The stations have strong control over the content of your message, and will charge you for the privilege. This actually meant that vulgar content generally stayed out of mainstream television.

Is the message distributed online, over a social media platform? These companies don't care about the content as much because it's harder (more expensive) to police content generated by millions of users as opposed to a handful of advertisers. They'll care to the extend of the law, but now your seeing more vulgar content of the lowest common denominator, placed along side some of the best content ever made.

Are you shouting in your park? Well, your local municipality might not want you shouting vulgar things in the presence of children and kids.

There also seems to be a psychological aspect where people are drawn to outrage and explicit content, which fuels the click-driven algorithms, and the news networks that rely on invested viewers.

One of the best parts of the internet, in my opinion, is Wikipedia. It's a user-driven, content-focused website that doesn't sell to advertisers. It's not perfect, but it shows that a good platform with clear and carefully chosen rules and it's own source of funding can actually be a great benefit to humanity.

"Women are oppressed in Iran. Well, that's just how Iran is. Just leave it if you don't want to be oppressed"

Oh my. Yea, and whatever is some way, is that way – "it is how it is, deal with it". It's an empty statement. The topic is an ethical and political discussion in light of current technologies. It's a question of whether it should work this way. That's how all moral questions come about – by asking if something should be the way it is. And the current state of technology brings a dilemma that hasn't existed before.

And no, the internet was not designed for that. Quite obviously. Sounds like you haven't heard of private messages.

I'm very surprised this has to be stated.

You would be surprised how many people pay for OF content. The novelty is that the clients are picked using mainstream social media.

You can desire the police cooperate with the hostage takers, without taking the side of the hostage takers.

There's always someone who will reply with something along the lines of "I don't use anything I learned in school on the job" or "Software engineering is not about coding, it's about X"

With due respect, in my experience as someone who did not major in CS, it was a rough first few years because I had weak knowledge of data structures, almost no knowledge of computer networking (showed itself why managing containers etc), didn't know even the very basics of bash/linux.

Nowadays, when I work with CS majors vs non majors, it has noticeably been more difficult to get the latter group up to speed and productive. Of course there have been notable exceptions (there always are when it comes to people matters)
Simulator-based reinforcement learning for data center cooling optimization
Two questions that affect free speech regulation:

- Should discussions of illegal activities be restricted? If you are planning such an activity? If you are discussing it in the abstract? If you are discussing or writing fiction?

- What is a "fact"? What is "misinformation"? Should misinformation really be restricted? Consider the cases where "misinformation" turned out to be correct.

IMHO, governments must err on the side if allowing speech. Anything else invites abuse.

What AI does is much more like the Old Masters approach of going to a museum and painting a copy of a painting by some master whose technique they wish to learn. This has always been both legal, and encouraged.

Or borrowing a thick stack of books from the library, reading them, and using that knowledge as the basis for fiction. That's a transformative work, and those are fine as well.

My take is that training AI models is a bespoke copyright situation which our laws were never designed to handle, and finding an equitable balance will take new law. But as it stands, it's both legal and encouraged for a human to access a Web site (thereby making a copy) and learn from the contents of that website.

That is, fundamentally, what happens when an LLM is trained on corpus data. The difference in scale becomes a difference in kind, but as I said, our laws at present don't really account for that, because they weren't designed to.

LLMs sometimes plagiarize, which is not ok, but most people, myself included, wouldn't consider the dilemma satisfactorily resolved if improvements in the technology meant that never happened. Outside of that, we're talking about a new kind of transformative work, and those are legal.
I've received Apple Calendar invites containing Chinese characters from individuals I've never heard of. I deleted them, but just receiving them was a bit alarming.
It's not? I thought we were talking about "AI SHOULD be trained on everything that is in the public sphere" and "[your work] will be sampled by a computer and instantly recreated at scale. [...] Commercial art producers have always ripped off minor artists". Isn't that all about copyright and the ability to make money off your creative works?

When I put something on Wikipedia or any other commons, I don't worry about which other person, algorithm, corporation, or AI ends up reusing it.

But if my ability to eat tomorrow depended on that, then I would very much care. Hence, copyright seems an integral part of people's ability to contribute creatively.

My argument is that by detaching their income from the reusability of their work, we would be able to free more creators from that constraint. Under such a system, the little guy would never get rich off their work, but they wouldn't starve when a big corporation (or anyone else) rips them off either.

Really cool article, I enjoy reading through all the details behind the decision making.

Just spit-balling a little, but I wonder if Wireguard is the best tool here given that the author is only using it for a single point-to-point link and they control the devices on both ends. That CPU supports AES-NI and probably does it a lot faster than Wireguard's ChaCha20 (hard to get numbers for their server CPU, but the tiny little x86 mini PC I use as my router does AES XTS at 43Gbps according to `cryptsetup benchmark`).

You might see better performance by tunneling the vxlan connection using a different technology which can use AES-NI? Then again, Wireguard is definitely still a good tool for stuff like this, and maybe the performance penalty isn't a big deal here.

Many report out this exact statistic. My alma mater claims 90% job placement for STEM grads.

They go out of their way to offer these services, but of course it all boils down to personal motivation. They hand students a tool and show them how it's used. That's my definition of "equipped."
