“Transformative” is always a grey area. If my service just returns you a book you requested, but in upper case, then it was transformed.

But sure, the “transformative” argument is the one that could apply (and even I believe Google used it to argue its case), if it can be shown that an LLM can not verbatim reproduce a given work (which, incidentally, is something that you, a warm-blooded fleshy human with agency who has the freedom to read books, cannot do, but LLMs were shown to do).

That said, relevant laws existed before LLMs, and may are outdated. If the goal is to balance reasonable uses while protecting original output of authors that ultimately drives innovation and creativity, I am not sure if the preexisting laws are continuing to fulfil their function, but that’s my opinion.
Yeah this simply wouldn't work. Models don't have any concept of "themselves". These are just large matrices of floating points that we multiply together to predict a new token.

>Ok? My point stands. It's still not a free market with subsidies limited to domestic manufacturers.

Chinese gave Tesla subsidies as well and a massive amount of valuable land near Shanghai for their Giga plant. They also sped up construction regulation approvals for Tesla.
> In this study, we present a simplified method for fabricating visible Fresnel zone plate (FZP) planar lenses, a type of diffractive optical element, using an i-line stepper and a special photoresist (color resist) that only necessitates coating, exposure, and development, eliminating the need for etching or other post-processing steps.
This is pretty normal. Even George Washington declined to enforce the law at times. A widespread recent example of "discretion" is the lack of enforcement of federal drug laws WRT marijuana. There are 39 states flaunting federal law, and presidents haven't bothered enforcing it.

Oxy, not meth. Get your facts straight. That’s just hurtful:

After their recent legal troubles, the Sacklers only have $10B left. They need all our support to get through these trying times.
Sure, which is a thing we've sort of agreed on as a society based on human consumption and creativity. Not that we all agree, and not that this agreement is free of influence from megacorps. But the context in which we've enacted copyright law is based on values related to human consumption and creativity.

Maybe we will end up agreeing that we just want to stick with those same laws for machine consumption and creativity. But maybe we won't since they are quite different things.
They considered a 20% owned joint venture last Trump administration, so a 50% deal seems like a stretch but not impossible. (It's surely not a coincidence that China also has a 50% joint venture requirement for foreign companies.)
Assuming, of course, that SCOTUS has the balls to say "um... no, actually, that wasn't right, and your presidential immunity doesn't cover this."

I would agree if it were applied equally across the board. I see no clear reason why "transgender rights, immigration or homosexuality" should specifically be spared from moderation, while other speech remains subject to censorship.

How do you feel about something like the International Atomic Energy Agency?
I guess it depends what lens you are looking through. Most people on TikTok would happily give their SSN, DOB, and any data over to a company to watch videos, make money on silly shit that happens on TikTok.

Other folks think TikTok is legitimately a news source and the government is keeping things from them.

For now. But once you show you're willing, there's often a next ask and then one after that.
So for example, my action builds on 4 different platforms (win-64, linux-amd64, mac-intel, mac-arm), it does this in parallel then gets the artifacts for all for and bundles them into a single package.

How would you suggest I do this following your advice?
Yes, and if you read the EO, Section 3(c) states:

"This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person."

In practical terms, this means:

1. Private parties (like TikTok or its users) cannot sue to enforce this EO

2. If the government doesn't follow the EO, you can't take them to court over it

3. Companies can't use this EO as a legal defense if they're sued

For example, if app stores keep hosting TikTok and get sued, they can't point to this EO as legal protection

This is important because while the EO tells app stores and other companies they won't be prosecuted, this disclaimer means they can't legally rely on that promise. If the EO is later found invalid or a new administration changes course, they could still face liability for actions taken during this period.

This creates a risky situation for companies trying to decide whether to comply with the law or follow the EO's guidance. A $5,000 fine per user of a 170M user platform means financial ruin for even Google and Apple if enforced. Larry Ellison (Oracle) might be willing to take that risk, and as a controlling founder he can do so without risk of being fired, but I don't think Tim Cook or Sundar Pichai are going to stick out their neck on this one.

> Subsection (a) of this section shall apply only to persons who are born within the United States after 30 days from the date of this order.

Well, at least they aren't trying to enforce this retroactively.
Did you read the executive order? It clearly states it also covers parents that are here legally through visas like H, F etc... It is not just about illegal immigration. E.g. if you work in the US on H and have a kid with a student on F visa, the kid will not be a US citizen going forward (starting in 30 days).

I'd be curious to hear the argument that people legally working or studying here aren't "subject to jurisdiction" of. People on H1B for a while file the exact same taxes citizens file (because they're US persons for tax purposes). Not sure how are they legally not subject to jurisdiction of?
Time will tell, no? Transmeta shipped a lot of Crusoes. It was run by brilliant people. It was a “compelling alternative.” Maybe Cerebras is the Transmeta of this race, I don’t know. But. It’s not about making an alternative. It most definitely is about “beating” NVIDIA. Otherwise, you are just shoveling dollars - shareholders’, undercompensated employees at AMD and TSMC, etc. - to Meta, like everyone else.

I don’t think the burden of children is experienced only financially. I suspect at least some people are choosing sleep, peace, and freedom over children. Not [primarily] luxury goods.

The easy way of seeing the first part is to do the prime factorization. The 7 doesn't matter since it's prime. If n has a 2 in its factorization it now has 2^3. But if it doesn't have a 2 it won't suddenly acquire one.

All the symbol soup proofs aren't wrong but I don't think they satisfyingly explain the why.
Your article doesn't show that Facebook started a genocide.

And if this was happening today there is nothing to indicate that TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, X etc wouldn't all recommend similar related content.
I did all of this by 30 and started a family shortly after this. Kids are hard (I have two), but I wouldn't change anything.

I know multiple single people in their 50s and 60s with no kids and they are all miserable human beings.

Another issue is that most of your peers at that age are raising a family and have less time to get together, making it very lonely. If you wait long enough, your friends will retire/kids will move out and they will have time for you again.

This doesn't even include the elderly people with no kids that end up alone in a nursing home one day.
A woman is an adult human female, or a person who identifies as such.

In other words, there is biological definition. Then there is malleable social terminology. We can acknowledge biology while also accommodating who choose to - or need to - identify differently.

If we can't accept that, then my next question would be: what do you expect someone who is gender dysphoric to do? What do you believe the appropriate course of action is for someone in that situation? What would you expect or appreciate if you were a person in that situation?

The odd thing is that I don't recall pronouns being much of an issue before recent (2016-onward) political tribalism on transgender matters. Transgender people are not new, they existed previously and people by and large seemed to be able to refer to them by their preferred pronouns without all of this digging-in-of-heels around "I WILL REFER TO YOU BY THE PRONOUNS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR BIOLOGICAL SEX".

Solution I use (works with _most_ apps -- GTK/Qt/WxWidgets/Electron, custom opengl/sdl apps are the main problem)

Go to window scaling and set it to 2x, this will cause the compositor to zoom in to each window 2x. Now everything will look obnoxiously big.

Then, go to the display settings, and set the display scaling to 1.5x or 1.7 or whatever it is that works for your DPI. (confusingly, this means zoom out)

So the zoom in/zoom out "cancel out" and you get a good balance.

Of course, it is rendering to a larger zoomed out canvas uselessly, but in modern CPU/GPU this doesn't cause too much of an extra hit on battery life.

This solution also has the benefit that if you use multiple different displays, you can as needed set different display "zoom out" levels for each one, and have it look good on both.

Where this falls over:
- OpenGL/custom SDL apps like I said before that don't respect your scale factor.
- Non Hi-DPI GTK themes (there are many hidpi ones available though)

You set the QT_SCALE_FACTOR env var for QT apps to also follow this, btw.

It makes me worried when he is making the gesture and saying things like this. This is truly history in the making.

This is true, but he also doesn't have the power to grant immunity to the law.

Tech companies are in a pickle, he's expecting them to break the law, but they can be fined absurd sums of money if they do. Either when they piss off Trump and he decides to prosecute, or if the next administration does 4 years from now.
How would the country work without it? Thousands of non-citizens would be added to the country on a daily basis.
It's quite simple unchecked capitilism is eating itself. I used to believe the lies and the wool Musk has over everyone eyes that he is smart man with a very high IQ. He might be a great engineer but his behaviour and his takes on many things shows how dumb he is. High IQ without knowledge or false beliefs still results in dumb takes.
Best comment here.

The "people are selfish" is what drives everything, ultimately. If they find no good reason to have kids, and can have a comfortable and satisfying life in other ways, they will.
...and his entire family.
> I say this not to be flippant or sarcastic but rather to ask how our ancestors seemed fine with the above but we seem less so?

Because by and large our female ancestors raised the children, were offered no choice in whether to raise the children, and their opinions of the situation were not recorded.
He just wants a cut of the deal, that’s all. He even said it live on TV: “Without me, they have nothing. With me, they have something. Could be a trillion dollar company. But it depends on what the president, what I say.”

This way, TikTok can retain control of their IP and maybe even a controlling interest if they sell a portion to Trump. It’s corruption all the way down.

Can you unflag it? What Musk has done is not a small thing.

If Hacker News is about the tech industry then we need to see the tech industry clearly, warts and all.

We cannot run away from it. We cannot memory hole it.
Too late, I think. Once not having kids becomes "normal" and socially acceptable, it'll take a lot of heavy handed propaganda and much stronger incentives to convince people otherwise. Raising kids is a civilizationally necessary hard work that needs to be "normalized" and "expected" for people to actually do it.

Okay. He does comment most days.

I don’t follow the “millions of ebooks are hard” line of thinking.

If Meta (or anyone) had approached publishers with a “we want to buy one copy of every book you publish”, that doesn’t seem technical or business difficult.

Certainly Amazon would find that extremely easy.
I disagree that cheating "has become" a huge problem, it was always a huge problem.

One time in grad school we used liquid argon that was going to boil off. Since argon is heavier than Alex the ice cream had a very interesting bubbly consistency.
having kids connects you to humanity like nothing else… I don’t think you must have kids to have a great life or anything like that but with all the hard work (the 1am will pass soon and you’ll talk to your wife how unfair would be to your son/daughter to deprive her/him of experiencing sibling love :) ) it is worth it for the full connection to human existence.

France has a subsidy program for kids. It's not helping much. Current fertility rate is 1.85 (2.1 is breakeven).

The only thing that seems to work is a religion that keeps women home pumping out babies and taking care of them. Islam and Haredi Judaism do that. There's a Christian "quiverfull" movement in the US, but it's not big enough to matter.[1]

> For example, if app stores keep hosting TikTok and get sued, they can't point to this EO as legal protection

Sued by who? Private parties can't sue other private parties over lack of enforcement, for example you cannot sue your neighbor for violating the federal ban on using pot.

Only the govt can prosecute or sue over certain laws. And judges would be certainly sympathetic because of this EO.
I keep seeing this characterization of inauguration donations as "kissing the ring", and I don't understand it. This is a routine practice for presidential inaugurations. Don't get me wrong, I agree it's bad, but the phrase implies a level of fealty that I really don't think is present. Nobody argued that Pfizer or Boeing or J.Lo were kissing Biden's ring in 2020.
Facebook's role in the genocide is well known [1].

Following its entry into Myanmar, Facebook became the primary means of communication for many users. However, the platform was poorly staffed, lacking adequate monitoring for local languages. This allowed a systematic campaign of anti-Rohingya propaganda to flourish, primarily orchestrated by members of the Myanmar military. They created fake accounts and pages to disseminate hateful content that incited violence, leading to murders, rapes, and mass displacements of Rohingya people.

Investigations revealed that Facebook's algorithms played a significant role in amplifying harmful content. Amnesty International reported that these algorithms "proactively amplified" anti-Rohingya messages, effectively turning the platform into a tool for hate speech and incitement to violence. The U.N. also noted that Facebook was a "useful instrument" for vilifying the Rohingya, contributing to real-world violence during the military's campaign in 2017.

>I thought it was the west that couldn't ramp up and is running out of stockpiles.

It's worth pointing out that Russia's "production" claims generally include refurbishment. When they say they produced 4 million artillery shells, that sometimes means they produced 400,000 artillery shells and refurbished 3.6 million artillery shells from deep storage.
It’s a fun hypothetical and not an obvious answer, to me at least.

But it’s not at all a similar dilemma to “should we allow the IP empire-building of the 1900’s to claim ownership over the concept of learning from copyrighted material”.
That might be true, for a while. But I bet many of us have parents that are old enough that are, in uncontroversial, non-political ways, losing their ability to view the world accurately. It's not all that easy to convince them that yes, they are in cognitive decline, and we are doing their best to consider how the version of themselves 20 years before would like us to tackle the decline.

Even in less obvious cases that don't involve old age, we often call something growth, when we should just say change. Sometimes we are all just more set our ways. Others, our "learning" is just abandoning principles so that we can follow random emotional fancies. Knowing when we are actually seeing the world more accurately, instead of being wrong in a different way, is quite challenging. We all want to think we are getting better, which is precisely whi we are blind to the ways in which we aren't. The convenient story often defeats what is actually true, but inconvenient.
It's not a mutually exclusive issue, so the conclusion of your argument is confusing.
I think this is a great product! I would like to post my product when it is ready.

You said that you do not monetize now, but I am curious how much the infrastructure costs are.
Immigration won’t save us.

The birth rate is declining faster than expected across the whole world. There aren’t going to be enough young migrants to go around and keep pumping up the numbers.
Very few countries have birthright citizenship (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli). I still find it to be a strange concept. It seems like in the US, birthright citizenship isn’t granted in the constitution or laws directly but was the result of a court ruling, which is extra strange. I’m not sure if this is the right way to go about it, but I think removing it is the right direction to have a sense of sovereignty and make citizenship meaningful.
You're really misrepresenting what's happening. It's not "president says". President issues an executive order. Which is a very specific constitutional legal procedure with its own rules. It cannot contradict the Constitution. The Supreme Court can overturn it.
