I understand the anger about large tech companies using others work without compensation, especially when both they and their users benefit financially. But this goes beyond economcis. LLM tech could accelerate advances in medicine and technology. I strongly believe that we're going to see societal benefits in education, healthcare, especially mental health support thanks to this tech.

I also think that someone making money off LLM's is a separate question from whether or not the original creator has been harmed. I think many creators are going to benefit from better tools, and we'll likely see new forms of creation become viable.

We already recognize that certain uses of intellectual property should be permitted for societies benefit. We have fair use doctrine, patent compulsory licensing for public health, research exmpetions, and public libraries. Transformative use is also permitted, and LLMs are inherently transformative. Look at the volume of data that they ingest compared to the final size of a trained model, and how fundamentally different the output format is from the input data.

Human progress has always built upon existing knowledge. Consider how both Darwin and Wallace independently developed evolution theory at roughly the same time -- not from isolation, but from building on the intellectual foundation of their era. Everything in human culture builds on what came before.

That all being said, I'm also sure that this tech is going to negative impact people too. Like I said in the other reply, whether or not this tech is good or bad will depend on who you ask. I just think that we should weigh these costs against the potential benefits to society as a whole rather than simply preserving existing systems, or blindly following the law as if the law is inherently just or good. Copyright law was made before this tech was even imagined, and it seems fair to now evaluate whether the current copyright regime makes sense if it turns out that it'd keep us in some local maximum.
This is true of almost anything now. I logged into X for the first time in a while after Halloween and it was like that even on our transit agency’s posts.
How much time did it take to build this?
These are neat. I'm reminded of Claude Mellan's face of Christ from 1649. This also uses a single continuous line, but he was carving the line by hand into steel!

Yes, and there have already been court cases that ruled AI training of copyrighted data to be fair use, because it's technically no different than any other form of art, everything is based off of seeing other ideas elsewhere, there are no new ideas anymore.
It's different. The leaf blower thing is something everyone has a right to do, and if it actually bothered enough people the municipality would put some restrictions on it regardless, and they didn't have to intentionally seek it out in legal scripture, and anyone can verify that they are using the leaf blower.

With the cars, they went out of their way to get the right to do so, implying they want to do it, otherwise it would be a waste of money. Nobody can really verify whether they are or are not doing so, as that's confidential company information and it's not illegal (since they have to right to do so) so nobody can subpoena them to find out. So maybe they are doing it and just lying about not doing it.

Like Obama's, Biden's, Blinken's, and Sullivan's Foreign Policy is a failure. Clinton disarmed Ukraine, Obama never helped them and everything Biden and his team did was a year late and a billion dollars short. This entire war Russia launched could have been avoided if Obama had not ignored it and Biden acted decisively in the first 6 months. He leaves the World in a much more dangerous place.

Two takeaways from this. Russia was a mess and America is not prepared for conflict in the 21st century. Our trillion-dollar defense budget and NATO Alliance couldn't meet the needs of supplying Ukraine with what it needed to win this conflict.
>I conclude that "An algorithm that searches for the highest probability answer" is not described by "reasoning"

I recall reading about a theory of neurology where many thoughts (neural circuits) fired simultaneously and then one would "win" and the others got suppressed. The closest thing I can find right now is Global Workspace Theory.
Way I’d explain it as Fuji and Gala are similar (on the sweet side). I agree with you on inconsistency of the Gala, which is why I have it below Fuji, and Fuji’s being consistently crisp.

I find "this wasn't the point of copyright", referring to the motivations of 18th century legislators, unpersuasive. They were making up rules that were good for the foreseeable future, but they didn't foresee everything and certainly not everyone being connected to a global data network.

Persuasive arguments should focus on what's good for the world today.

So during the summer I install Armbian on my Pinebook pro, and I have been reasonably happy with it, until it got an update which included a new kernel. Usually it's a routine thing, right? Well, it didn't boot anymore.

I thought it's a fluke. I wasn't happy, but it happens. It's FOSS, so if it breaks, I can keep both parts, or get my money back.

I reinstalled it, and have been a happy user once again, until the next update came, when the same crap happened. At that point I decided to report a bug. I found a really cool Google form, that guided me through the bug filing process (what happens, what category, etc), until the end, when it asks me to post the UART output on their forum, and it gives a link to the forum - which throws a 404 error. At this point I said ugly words, and gave up.

And this is the tale of why I'm not using Armbian, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Rule #1: always blame someone else.
Surely it's no different to how IDEs can support autocomplete and intellisense for multiple languages. Something like a LSP definition would tell the editor what nodes were supported and what the syntax rules were.

Previews and feedback would be the toughest problem - a lot of node editors are very closely tied to rendering (or the equivalent) and real time feedback is common.

But - these are challenges more than they are blockers.
It's nice to want things. The people paying expensive programmers for bot armies to parrot their thoughts are currently paying cheaper humans sitting at a bank of beheaded cellphones to parrot amplify their thoughts instead. You're being lied to, regardless, the only difference is if it's a shell script to do the lying or a paycheck to a human to do the lying.

That's a valid point.

Also:

Nazi imagery now symbolizes ultimate evil, but that's the effect of history and reflection and cultural symbols changing. Fascism, including in 1930s Germany, is always packaged up in appealing packaging. It seems appealing, promising national revival and cherished values.

People didn't sign up for overt evil; they got swept up in something that appeared reasonable and popular, or just said nothing about the same.

This is the real lesson that I think we're losing; that it's possible to be an ordinary person of ordinary good morals, and to support terrible crimes happening if one isn't careful.
They do in many cases. Example: GE CYNC Wi-Fi lights require a connection to Savant's servers, which I believe are split between US and CN. They are one of few vendors that make BR30 smart lights. Philips and LIFX aside, all of the other vendors require an Internet connection.
That’s my experience as well, at least at my local store I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve gotten a mealy Fuji over many years.

Also laughing because I perform the same apple analysis - this new variety looks good and admittedly the names are pretty effective marketing (honeycrisp, cosmic, etc…), but they tend to be comparatively expensive and after being let down some many times I just grab the Fuji
This was an issue of mine for many years. The negative impact was significant, as it ruined sleep, and by extension everything else.

People rave about bio produce. Ie we keep buying only bio carrots, they are not much more expensive than regular ones. I like the taste.

But when I come home and taste some carrots my parents grow in their garden, oh my god - this is extreme premium in taste world. I understand its a different type, not created for maximal yield as quickly as possible. And so it goes with everything.

If you like various berries you can buy in stores, just don't ever taste wild ones in the forest, it will ruin them for you.
A great variety that we can get in season where I live in the US. I think they don’t keep or transport well, and they’re mostly only available at farm stands around here.

Every time I've found myself frustrated with a SQL query, there was some horrible misstep in how the underlying schema was designed.

Having the wisdom to craft a high quality schema can be the biggest unlock in the whole enterprise. If the tables, columns & relations are ~1:1 with the actual business (i.e., you went and talked to real, live stakeholders at design time), then it should be deeply intuitive for a non-technical domain expert to interact with.

Often, you don't get a chance to redo the whole thing, but that doesn't mean you can't still design an ideal schema and then shim it with views, CTEs, replicas, ETL, etc.

SQL is a domain specific language. It would be like complaining about how horrible it is to write Lua scripts. The criticism is baseless without understanding the underlying schema/bindings.
2000s. The last time I got hit with this was in 2019, I believe.
I've been at orgs that wrote 3x apps and at orgs that shipped via RN. RN was a significantly superior choice ime. While yes, it wasn't 100% write once, it was pretty good and also avoided some of the ugly single-platform-only bugs I experienced at choice one, eg in core data libs (subtly different validations on data), that made the write 3 apps strategy be more like 4x work.

As for the article, honesty probably would have just had the author write something like: "RN: an unfortunate but maybe your best choice in these circumstances" instead of pretending there's serious alternatives eg the Apache garbage dump.

In 2003, Saxony-Anhalt successfully sued the city of Querfurt for depicting the disc design on souvenirs. Saxony-Anhalt also successfully sued the publishing houses Piper and Heyne over an abstract depiction of the disc on book covers.

> The defenders argued that as a cult object, the disc had already been "published" approximately 3,500 years earlier in the Bronze Age and that consequently, all protection of intellectual property associated with it has long expired.

This is really silly, and disappointed if this is valid under DE/EU law. This is our shared history, not a trademark
Thanks. If I'm reading this right, the limiting factor on the intelligence of current LLMs is not the network size, nor training data (size/quality) but rather the architecture? Do we know of a better one for complex computations / "reasoning"?

Durability levels that poor aren’t state of the art any more.

The rule of thumb I’ve seen at most places (running at similar scale) is to target one data loss, fleet wide, per century.

That usually increases costs by << 10%, but you have to have someone that understands combinatorics design your data placement algorithms.

The copyset paper is a good place to start if you need to understand that stuff.
HexOS "Full control for all your content and data"
I see your point for one part, which is that `select([id]).from(Users)` is maybe in the best case as readable as `select id from users`, and in many common cases it'll be less readable than sql. Plus, it's not quite sql, you'll have to look up how to do things a lot of times.

But we aren't just talking about SQL the high level language that you might execute when you are poking the data live. In a web app dynamically constructing sql, we have multiple issues:

1. Deserialization: we need to know what the query returns and plug it into data structures we want to use in our program

2. SQL is dynamically typed, and if you construct queries dynamically you're even more dynamically up a creek. Maybe even "sql injection vulnerability" up a creek.

1 and 2 are solved by strongly typed query builders like this: the type system has a proof that the ways you will construct queries in your program actually result in valid sql queries and that they return the right data shape.

It's actually solving a real problem
SmolLM2 (LLM) running in browser and WebGPU
Not mentioned in this is the issue of memory scaling.

DRAM price per GB has been roughly flat for well over a decade - consumer prices hit $4/GB in 2011, and have fluctuated around there ever since - most of the drop in real cost since then has been due to declining value of that $4. Prices for large enterprise/hyper scalers are probably similar, as it’s a low-margin commodity market.

Two sockets gets you more memory channels and more DINNS, but as memory price causes the RAM/CPU ratio to drop, and single-channel bandwidth increases with DDR5, that becomes less important.

Of course that’s one of those things you can’t really say to customers, kind of like “you don’t really need 250hp in a passenger sedan”.

Blacks's stance that "there should be one obvious way to format things" seems consistent with the zen, even if you disagree with the actual rules.
Growing conditions really matter. We really like Gold Rush apples and our farmers market has three orchards who grow them but the ones from one of those vendors consistently aren’t as good, even though it’s clearly the same variety. Something about Pennsylvania vs. northern Maryland made more of a difference than I thought.
It isn’t just those with accessibility problems that get stuck. Some are stupidly difficult- I’ve given up on one in recent times.

There could be a business to be made in capturing and disseminating tribal knowledge for organizations. Even orgs with the best documentation don't have a great mechanism to capture and make available tribal knowledge which is un-authoritative, sometimes conflicting, and constantly changing.

In the past I made an effort to address this by creating a unofficial but quickly searchable document repository documenting every question I have gotten from a teammate by either answering it or pointing to where the authoritative answer could be found.

What I found was the following:

1. Questions are repetitive, you can quickly build a base of tribal knowledge and point people to the answer.
2. If the document tool is quick and efficient, team members will generally check it first instead of asking.
3. Sometimes document tribal knowledge conflicts with someone else's tribal knowledge. This is a great opportunity to hash out the more correct answer and update the document.
4. Tribal knowledge gets stale fast and needs constant curating.
5. The less friction to find an answer, eg fast access and fast/accurate searching, greatly increases success.

NB. GPT is a perfect front end for such an effort.

It varies by state, what you described is California's rules, which are by far the most permissive of moonlighting.
Back in 1963, I had the privilege of participating in a program the summer before my senior year of high school. This was at the research lab of GE in Schenectady. I was working (not very productively) on a project involving platinum catalyst of hydrocarbons – what eventually became catalytic converters. The kid who tutored me in calculus (and later won a MacArthur grant and founded his own think tank) worked on what was then called nuclear magnetic resonance or NMR. Now it’s the guts or MRI machines (they left off the “nuclear” for PR reasons. I wonder how many kids these days have the chance to do shit like that, and if there are any labs where long-term research like that is funded.
One thing I never realized is that apple varieties can't be grown from seeds.

"This is because seedling apples are 'extreme heterozygotes'. Rather than resembling their parents, seedlings are all different from each other and from their parents." [1]

"To propagate a cultivar [variety], material from the original tree (scion) is joined to a rootstock. The rootstock provides the roots for the new plant and the scion forms the top part of the new plant, which produces the fruit. The rootstock comes from another cultivar selected specifically for its ability to grow well in the soil and induce desirable growth habits of the scion (such as dwarfing)."

"The scion is introduced to the rootstock by either grafting or budding. In grafting, a length of dormant wood from the original tree is notched into the rootstock. In budding, small buds are notched into the rootstock. Budding produces more trees from the same amount of wood than grafting." [2]

So when you read "cultivation", it's not like breeding green beans or corn, where you can crossbreed plants and come up with a new type that will "breed true" and then you can make a bunch of seeds to distribute. Cultivation is basically growing a bunch of trees, finding the right combo, then creating a bunch of them

So commercial growers with orchards will buy trees from breeders who create that type of tree by managing the grafting/budding process.

Apparently, though we don't know when breeding started, it's been going on for thousands of years.

Also, Johnny Appleseed wasn't doing anyone favors by spreading apple seeds everywhere because the trees would produce mostly inedible apples.

Not all node graphs are DAGs - a lot of audio platforms allow cycles I believe.

But I'm thinking more about how the user would want to interact with the system.

The trouble with graphs is that they tend to nudge you towards spaghetti and they tend to force micromanagement of layout on you. Smart autolayouts alleviate this latter point somewhat but you also lose some of the semantic value that spatial organisation provides.

Depending on the application you tend to most be doing "fan out" or "fan in" - most of the graph is a tree. "Fan in" is easy to handle in a stack. A modifier takes another stack as input. The other stack doesn't have to live somewhere different spatially - it can just be hidden and shown as needed.

I just don't want to spend my time tidying up my graph and zooming in and out just to see things. Node graphs are probably responsible for a decent chunk of the sales of incredibly large monitors! I like to work on a small-ish laptop and I have the eyesight of a middle-aged man.

I'm not fully convinced that legislation alone can fix all of our problems, but for what it's worth, I'm all for it.

That said, regulation probably won't solve my problem, because what I want are devices that are specifically not designed to just be cloud-connected thin-client devices. I doubt regulation is going to entirely prevent this class of device from existing. And it's only going to get worse: look at what Microsoft is doing, they're literally trying to shift Windows into being a fucking cloud service.
