Copyright means the holder does automatically get to prescribe how content can be copied. That's literally the definition of copyright.

A typical copyright notice for a book says something like (to paraphrase...) "not to be stored, transmitted, or used by or on any electronic device without explicit permission."

That clearly includes use for training, because you can't train without making a copy, even if the copy is subsequently thrown away.

Any argument about this is trying to redefine copyright as the right to extract the semantic or cultural value of a document. In reality the definition is already clear - no copying of a document by any means for any purpose without explicit permission.

This is even implicitly acknowledged in the CC definitions. CC would be meaningless and pointless without it.

That's not even remotely close to be a study, that's an opinion piece that threw everything at the wall, relied mostly on self-report studies, it used figures to show how sex-related things are everywhere but not to highlight their negative impact, and it seemingly also uses 40 year old data, and considering how much things have changed since then, I'm not quite sure that it is still relevant.

That's not to say I disagree with the idea that porn can have a negative effect, but using the least objective source you could have found is just...

> was (and is) highly controversial; Stargate claimed a bit of successes as well as many failures.

Hm, I wouldn't say RV is controversial - only possibly in the sense that heliocentrism was controversial in the 15th and 16th centuries: i.e., to the folks who had not been exposed to the data showing the Earth orbits the Sun. Specifically tho, this sentiment and similar in other comments, are common misrepresentations or misconceptions. Here are the key stats from the same ("Stargate") document archives - by 1983:

85% of 700 RV missions gave accurate target information.

50% of 700 RV missions produced usable intelligence.

50% does not mean the "success rate was chance", because the odds of randomly producing actionable intelligence for a mission based solely off an opaque 6 digit number (ie, the "Coordinate" in Coordinate RV), are far lower than 50% of the time. These stats are from a FOIA'd briefing transcript by Lt. Col Buzby, the Project Manager of INSCOM (United States Army Intelligence and Security Command) RV project "CENTER LANE". The full quote is:

In summary, over the past 5 years INSCOM has conducted 89 collection projects for a number of different US government agencies. Our successes must be examined from two perspectives. (Chart change) Over 85% of our operational missions have produced accurate target information. Even more significant, approximately 50% of the 700 missions produced usable intelligence.

More context: "Stargate" was the program name for the final declassified RV program which absorbed many previous programs such as Center Lane (early 80s), Grill Flame, etc.

More facts: Hal Puthoff has suggested in a recent interview with Eric Weinstein and Jesse Michels that the RV programs were not discontinued when declassified in 1995, but rather "went dark" (became unacknowledged special access programs). The "debunking" report accompanying the 1995 declassification was most likely ritual cover for this.

Agree generative AI is a cancer cancer.
its called a noise gate: basic audio gear that triggers a function based on SPL(sound pressure level),which would be a reliable way to trigger a capture event and....the rest, without listening to everything.Change in tempo and pitch could also be good for an "event trigger".
the start of digital audio goes back to the 1980's
and the full suite of capabilities is trivial for any phone, as they are integrated extensivly to cancel background noise anyway.
And with so called digital voice assistants running, I cant be surprised.
My main point would be that ,everyone is convinced that there phones are spying on them,
its one more thing to make them flinch
and grimace, argueing about it will only draw deeper lines.And that, is where we are.
I'm a pilot. The airplane was sliding on the ground and the landing gear was not deployed. Too fast to stop but not fast enough to use the rudder for directional control. There was no realistic chance to change direction.

If there had been enough engine power to control direction on the ground, there might also have been enough power to remain airborne, but based on limited information, that wasn't so. Under the circumstances the pilots would have wanted to stay airborne to buy time for a more controlled descent, were that possible.

All these speculations are preliminary and may completely change once the black box information is released.
Thanks for the clarification :+1:

It should perhaps be pointed in news coverage since I equated "opposite direction" with "wrong direction" - hence my scepticisms about the wall.
The ones who really lose are the one who buy their stuff while yours stays free.
I was able to shave off one additional byte with this:

...
xor rax, rax ; = 0
inc rax ; = 1 - syscall: sys_write
mov rdi, rax ; copy 1 - file descriptor: stdout
lea rsi, [rel msg] ; pointer to message
mov rdx, 14 ; message length
syscall
...

$ nasm -f bin -o elf elf.asm; wc -c elf; ./elf
166 elf
Hello, World!

So I guess NASM already optimizes this quite well

However, using the stack-based instructions as xpasky hinted at:

...
push 1 ; syscall: sys_write
pop rax
pop rdi ; copy 1 - file descriptor: stdout
lea rsi, [rel msg] ; pointer to message
push 14 ; message length
pop rdx
syscall
...

I get down to 159 bytes! I updated the article to reflect that
> So the wall is actually at the beginning of the runway. That wall was never never meant to be at the end of a landing but at the start of landing.

Airports like this are designed to have two approach directions -- in this case, 10 and 190 degrees. Either approach direction would have been acceptable depending on the prevailing wind.
I've argued years ago based on how LLMs are built that they would only ever amount to lossy and very memory inefficient compression algorithms. The whole 'hallucination' thing misses the mark. LLMs are not 'occasionally' wrong/hallucinating sometimes. They can only ever return lower resolution versions of what was on their training data. I was mocked then but I feel vindicated now.
I find this to be very familiar. I worked endlessly to be able to have no responsibility and endless freedom. My partner passed away several years ago now, and I still haven't filled that void. I'm not unhappy by any means, but money and freedom are a poor substitute for companionship.
Great example, a two bytes reboot utility. From the times when we could turn off the computer with a push of a button without fearing a global catastrophe...
Good that you've read it, but I'm afraid the entire idea of this analysis just seems absurd to me. It's exactly the kind of thing that creates the replication crisis, which outside of the experimental sciences is driven by a morass of P=0.049 modeling claims that disappear when re-examined. Many such papers are well cited, are claimed to use "robust" methods and so on. Yet when the claims fail to generalize, nothing happens. There's no postmortem or other institutional attempt to learn anything, no period of self reflection or adjustment of methods. Academia unfortunately no longer has credibility when it comes to this type of statistical analysis.

Maybe they address all of these obvious problems in their paper, but I doubt it:

1. The low quality and wide CIs of the temperature datasets themselves. Look at the recent revelations about the CIs on the UK's weather data for an example (and the total lack of care from the Met Office about fixing the situation). It's one country but similar problems are found everywhere. One of the most depressing conclusions I reached when studying this topic a few years ago was that we don't really know if the world is getting warmer or not. It's not even a well posed question to begin with, and the datasets are subject to massive historical revisions, but even ignoring those fatal problems the error bars on the underlying data are wider than the claimed increases.

2. Dubious nature of the gridded GDP dataset they're using. Much of the data comes from sources merely cited as "literature". Of those, many are themselves estimated and modeled data dubious on their face, e.g. the Australia data comes from a paper with only two citations (one of which is this paper) and which claims to accurately reconstruct GDP back to the 1850s! This is a jenga tower of estimates and there doesn't seem to be any attempt to measure or think about error in a systematic way: they explain that they looked for outliers in the data to do manual validation (unmentioned, did they remove outliers?), and they admit that the dataset has serious problems, but just blithely hand wave it all away. There is no attempt to estimate the accuracy of their data beyond observing it isn't 100% accurate.

3. Inability to validate the resulting model ("robustness tests" aren't the same thing as validation, at all). Unvalidated models aren't useful for anything.

As for Nordhaus, I wouldn't try to outsource decisions about the reliability of work to old names. They've been pointing out serious problems in the literature for years, some of them decades, and there have never been reforms. If someone warns of problems 100 times and is ignored every time, the lack of a warning the 101st time doesn't mean anything. They could just be tired. I would be, in their shoes!
Thanks for posting this.

It’s an excellent example of clear, useful writing, about a topic that could use all the help it can get.

> Mathematica notebooks aren't related to juypter.

I don't think that's fair. Rather, IPython, and later Jupyter, explicitly (successfully) sought to create a Mathematica-like notebook experience for Python.
That argument works better against having Google be the enforcer than in favour: Google's rules are (as I understand it in this case) global, why should the UK's rules be made to apply to, say, a Japanese-language-only app sold only in the Japan?

(For all I know Japan has similar rules, the point isn't the specific country, but that this would be the UK projecting power internationally that it shouldn't be).
Would it be fair to name the program 'Hello World!' and than use argv[0], which is on the stack, to print out 'Hello World!'?

I also questioned the vialibily of face masks early on in the the covid scare..

I have grown mushrooms at home for many years and to prevent contamination entering my grain bags and jars, I have to use an extremely fine filters.

I use a Microppose Synthetic Filter Discs which have a 99.97% Filtration efficiency down to 0.22μm (microns).

The standard face mask is 0.3μm and is 95% efficient at 0.3 microns. This means that the filter media is effective at filtering 95% of airborne particles as long as they are larger than 0.3 microns in diameter.

The Coronavirus molecules tend to be about 0.1 microns in diameter

Masks do not prevent Coronavirus molecules from passing through the mask, However, Coronavirus molecules do not float freely around in the air and usually travel around as part of fluid droplets that become airborne created by coughing and sneezing.

These droplets are supposed to be about 0.5μm so the masks could prevent water droplets from entering the body.

I still have my doubts though.
Seems to me American ISPs have a lot of political power.

We have so much more to worry about in the US now. An African billionaire just paid over $270 million to get the guy who organized white supremacist militias to overthrow the government in 2021 elected as president. These criminal robber barons want to eliminate agencies like the FCC and any regulations like NN as well as stack the courts with people who are also robber barons, etc, etc.
It is, and the thinking of it runs deeper than the quote, in ways that directly echo TFA author's own words:

(en français, of course. I link to it in its original language as I take issue with the usual translation of the very title as "Diversion", which immediately lacks the double-entendre of "Divertissement", which in french stands for both "diversion" and "entertainment")

Maybe what TFA author should do is spend some time standing on the shoulders of giants and read some philosophy?

>Is it public knowledge how much FAANG companies pay?

The highest tier of fee is £2,900 per year, but you're looking at the wrong regulator - major tech companies invariably use Ireland or Luxembourg as their European headquarters, so most or all of their data processing activities (and subsequent investigation or enforcement) would take place under that jurisdiction.

I find the tone jarring. The author is all over the place. It feels like the author is trying to brag with every quasi-unconventional activity they've taken. Hiking in the redwoods, climbing a 6800m mountain and joining DOGE are a trifecta of cliches.

It's sad that the author broke up with their girlfriend, who was likely the only source of reason in their situation.

Genuine, selfless, introspection might help find a path. Hiking in the redwoods doesn't automatically produce introspection.

No, they were telling/forcing people who already got covid that they needed the vaccine as well. I know this because it happened to my children in California. Then they justified it by lying to us that vaccine acquired immunity was better than natural immunity through infection. This didn’t sound scientific at all but they let it continue because they wanted everyone to get vaccinated for some reason.

Your advice, and the advice of the people I am defending myself from is worthless. None of you know my situation. I'm laughing every time one of you posts these comments. There's nothing wrong with my public image. Most of the "advice" I have recieved is disinfo, some is is pure speculation based on false information. I don't really care if you see this as stubborn or defensive - I see you anr the other anon "advice givers" as ignorant and incorrect. Pretty funny though.

Deleting LinkedIn isn't extreme in the least. I hate the website and I'm better off without it - its a dying social media platform and i only had the account because a former employer forced me to create it. I am sure wpyou wisuph you could scour it for intel, but I had intended to delete it for months and was only using it to promote my personal projects and my other accounts, and apply to jobs. I monitor all of my sites with Google analytics and was getting very little traffic from LinkedIn, and none of the job applications I put out with LinkedIn panned out due to it being over saturated with applicants - as I said, worthless.

Furthermore, I am correct about H-1B. It is a broken system. This has been acknowledged by businessmen and lawmakers alike on both sides of the aisle. Posting about it on LinkedIn isn't political or complaining. I happen to be connected to extremely influential people. If my posts reached them and swayed their opinion to my side or even got them thinking about it: mission accomplished.

To reiterate, I didn't ask for advice, I asked about OTHER people's experiences as they pertain to racism, ageism and sexism - the fact that people jumped into my personal profiles and started offering up unsolicited commentary reveals their true motivations: trolling. Very unprofessional. Ill-informed "advice" rejected.

I don't need the internet to think for me, it's why I didn't ask, but thanks for contributing to the entertaining echo chamber.
