1) For starters, ML companies clearly go through enormous amounts of money, the rich people in control of them very obviously get compensated quite generously, if you're into euphemisms, which the people who built the "training data" (= their copyrighted works) get nothing.

2) It's not just ML companies but anyone using their products.

A while ago everyone was upset that chatGPT regurgitated fast inverse square root from Quake's GPL code verbatim including a comment, clearly violating the license unless the program it generated it into was also under GPL.

I am sure since then they've made sure the copyrighted material used as training data gets misex up a bit more thoroughly so it doesn't produce it in the output verbatim and is therefore harder to detect.

So what if i spend a couple days writing an algorithm, give it a nice doc comment and tests, publish it under AGPL, it gets used as training data and a random programmer in a random company working on a random for-profit product runs into the same problem but instead of writing the algo himself, he asks a generative model and it produces my code just a little mixed up so it's not immediately recognizable but clearly based on my code? I deserve to be paid, that's what happens.
>I know what fascism is

It doesn't seem like you do. I think if you're to make a claim, you should substantiate it. Simply calling "Curtis Yarvin", someone with only the most tangential relation to the Trump campaign - and I'm being generous because that's the directive here - a fascist is actually precisely the name-calling I outlined.

The next steps are

A. You define fascism and your understanding of it specifically.

B. You substantiate how Trump is "fascist" in a way that isn't simple name-calling. You'll have to be careful here because comparing Trump to actual murderous regimes is going to be highly tenuous inherently.

A note: simply providing outrageous things that Curtis Yarvin has said to guffaw at also won't suffice. Fascism has a very specific meaning. It is a philosophy very contemporaneous to the 30s and 40s with very specific influences, thinkers, and an intellectual tradition that most people aren't actually familiar with and authors you've likely never read because they simply haven't been translated to English or aren't very popular in Western philosophical tradition for obvious reasons.

Also, it bears mentioning that Curtis Yarvin is a Jew and calling him a fascist has another layer of incredulity attached.

>because you think that 22 years experience in a position is disqualifying?

Yes.

An Inspector-General is in charge of inspecting and auditing, as the name would suggest. That requires being impartial in absolute terms, because you must be able to call out problems no matter how inconvenient they are.

Being in a position of power means an inevitable accrual of reputation and influence, and 22 straight years of accrual is ridiculous. Her excessively long tenure is also unusual; the longest-serving Inspector-General besides her served for 8 years, shortest being 2 years not counting acting IGs, average is about 4 years each IG not counting her 22 year tenure.

So yes, I support her termination because her long tenure lends me no confidence she can perform her duties ethically anymore. There must be a regular changing of the incumbent to head off the office being bought or otherwise corrupted. There are millions of other D.C. bureaucrats to replace her with, and even more Americans overall. There is no reason to keep her specifically for this long and I daresay that the lack of a term limit for this office has to be an oversight.
And it's surprisingly easy to find axioms that lead to your favorite conclusion.

Just... don't bother.
Would the removed data be something that could be requested under FOIA?
DeepSeek-R1 had an RLHF step in their post-training pipeline (section 2.3.4 of their technical report[1]).

In addition, the "reasoning-oriented reinforcement learning" step (section 2.3.2) used an approach that is almost identical to RLHF in theory and implementation. The main difference is that they used a rule-based reward system, rather than a model trained on human preference data.

If you want to train a model like DeepSeek-R1, you'll need to know the fundamentals of reinforcement learning on language models, including RLHF.

"...the President shall communicate in writing the substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons for any such removal or transfer to both Houses of Congress (including the appropriate congressional committees), not later than 30 days before the removal or transfer."

It's a bit more than "detailed". And he didn't even try to meet any of the elements above. It's essentially a loyalty purge.
The idea of single code base is false. It doesn't even save money nor time. You need more engineers to understand iOS, Android, and now insert single code base framework, not to mention more time solve framework specific issues. However, the buzzwords involved with such frameworks/tools are so attractive to non-technical management that they commit to it right from the start. Flutter doesn't even have a proper webview, and the amount of engineering time spent to build a flutter webview and maintain it blows my mind.
I only watched Severance Season 1 last month. I'm actually glad I didn't have to endure the 3 year wait for Season 2. It is an outstanding show and well worth the watch. There are two things that I find interesting about a lot of media:

1. How much of it is nakedly anti-capitalist and many people don't seem to recognize that. Severance is incredibly anti-capitalist and damning of the entire corporate world. It paints the corporate world as soulless and disconnected from reality. The bizarre perks like the wellness sessions, getting to know you, the music dance experience and the waffle party are a searing indictmment on any corporate team-building experience; and

2. How much media is anti-imperialist and we have no problem identifying that the resistance to that are the "good guys" and the authoritarian state are quite clearly the "bad guys" yet, again, people can't seem to see that in real life. The classic example of Star Wars, which George Lucas has explicitly stated that the Rebellion was based on Vietnamese resistance to American imperialist ambitions [1].

Milchick in "Defiant Jazz" lives rent-free in my head. The work is mysterious and important.

Piracy isn’t a legal problem—it’s a service problem [1].

Netflix, Spotify, and Valve (Steam) didn’t succeed because of copyright enforcement. They won because they made paying for content easier, faster, and better than piracy.

Piracy isn’t hard, but these services solved the friction: instant access, high quality, fair pricing, and features that free alternatives couldn’t match. That’s why they still thrive today.

Never seen that happen here.
I assume the basics are similar. The Miyoo Mini Plus has WiFi, which is great, but no GPU, so I assume you end up with different drivers. But the CPU is the same so everything else should be equivalent.
> I wonder if there's some sort of coordinated flagging of Musk-related topics going on

my impression as well
Having worked in the hosting business, this is a very normal interaction when the provider believes the account was used for fraud or something illegal or strongly against the ToS. Support personnel are literally not allowed to say why the account was closed because that would be giving potential fraudsters information on how to stay hidden in the future.

OCI likely sees TONS of fraud every day due to the generous free tier offering. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if MOST new accounts created are for attempted shadiness.

I'm definitely not accusing the author of doing anything shady, but clearly Oracle believes they did, for one reason or another. It could be their usage patterns triggered some flag, or maybe one of their instances got compromised and started spamming the government.

Still, OCI definitely could have handled it better.
I genuinely wonder if that is actually the case. Our team ( fairly technical team within a non-technical type company ) repeatedly ( edit: and successfully) pushed back against any kind of RTO ( I personally sent rather non-corporate email asking why the RTO calls if they can't even get enough desks for rotation ). I am sure bosses hate being questioned, but I don't see anyone begging to do my job. In other words, something has got to give.

I don't know what is going to happen exactly. I feel the push from bigger corps will give smaller one a "permission" to do it as well, but I know I am already doing what I can to make sure I am ready. Last time the company tried to call me back in specifically, I was lucky enough to secure current position and was able to tell them no.

That said, even today, I know I would not be able to get my job back there and I didn't burn bridges in any conventional way ( unless you consider saying no to RTO burning a bridge ).

Fun times ahead.
> pay artists to create something AI free / copyleft free

I still don't think that's enough to be fair. If their work is used to produce value ad infinitum, them any one-time payment is obviously less than what they deserve.

The payment should be fractional compared to the produced value. And that is very hard to do since you don't know how much money somebody made by using the model.

> It would effectively exclude the poor from using AI for compliance reasons.

Again, this only an issue if you're thinking in terms of one-time fixed payments.
If you know what fascism is then you are nearly alone in the world. Read over the Wikipedia definition of fascism and you'll find it starts with a comparison to "nailing jelly to the wall".

Magical things are usually built up from the trivial examples.

Its still amazing how you can go from that example to "Here is a file that anyone can verify (non-interactively) which shows i have a passport and that passport is not from a country sanctioned by the usa but otherwise does not reveal anything about me" or "I will not reveal my ip or any other identifying/unique info but i will prove i have not been previously blocked from this website including during the other times i anonoymously accessed this website"

We used to be stuck with Comcast, but we had no trouble using our own modem and router.

We moved from lower Nob Hill to Russian Hill and were finally able to get fiber from Sonic. We went from ~300Mbps down to 1G (more like 750Mbps) and from $137/month to $50/month. Oh and it’s symmetric, very much unlike cable. So happy to get rid of Comcast.

Combined with recent reports of large short positions in the market, it makes you wonder... These articles claim full access. Does that imply the ability to stop certain payments? How much goes to private companies?
Is there any overlap between these companies and recent short positions?

All interesting questions. If your goal is to cut expenses, presumably your goal would be to have access to turn off the money tap. Because otherwise, what can DOGE really accomplish?

I’d argue that no narcissists did all of those things. Elon doesn’t like patents and doesn’t share credit for IP he has no connection to other than ownership, so he didn’t do any of those things.
This Ziz person is really unhinged. I read some of their writing, it reminds me of every eloquent, manipulative narcissist I've met. They are never as smart as they think they are - or as smart as they want you to think they are - though they may be smart, charming, and engaging. They've created an alternate universe in their mind and haphazardly abuse whatever ideas they've encountered to justify it.
Not ridiculous at all. If LLMs (can we please stop calling it AI?) can produce correct factual statements (for example about historical events), then the data is clearly present in the model in some (compressed) form.

The only question then is if the models have some kind of additional value ("intelligence") beyond being compressed databases.

My take is that either no, or the burden of proof is on those making the claim. Until they prove it, they are just databases and therefore derivative work of their input and their output is also derivative work.
I understand that legally their access privileges are for non-confidential IT upgrades. However they appear to not be operating under rules-based order and rather "might makes right".
It depends on your workflow, ofc.

If you run the kind of shop where your master branch is all merge commits, commit messages are useful.
can you check now it should be working
Uh, I’ve got some really bad news.
In my experience, most of the value in commit messages isn't in rolling back and such, but in trying to understand history. At day job, I work on a product where some of the code is around two decades old, so you bet there's no one around who you could ask about it. Many of the problems that were solved at the time are solved for free out of the box with modern tooling, but you won't know if that's the case unless you know what problem a commit was fixing to begin with. You can read the diff, yes, but it won't tell you the why and that's what commit messages are for.
I'm not sure I agree.

Even if the numbers are accurate, nearly any situation has a nearly infinite number of potential data points, and deciding which ones are relevant isn't as straightforward as people act like it is.

This is easy to see play out; you can look at the same stories being reported on both Fox News and MSNBC. Usually both sources' raw facts will be basically "correct" in the sense that they're not saying anything explicitly false, but there can be bias in determining which facts are actually useful or how they're categorized.

You can see how the reporting of the January 6th stuff varied between news outlets.

I'm actually quite difficult with music and I don't like most music. Yet, considering those few pieces I do like, I like pieces from a variety of styles ranging from techno to classical music.

My ability to appreciate a broad set of styles indicates that I am not culturally biased. The fact that I only like a very small % of popular songs indicates that I am demanding. The fact that I don't have any favorite artists indicates that I am not susceptible to cult of personality biases. The fact that I do not listen to niche music indicates that my tastes aren't contrarian; I like popular pieces which other people like but I just like a smaller subset.

So based on this it would seem I have excellent taste.
Skip does save a tremendous amount of time! It has a proper webview across both platforms.

There are two parts - that you can run SwiftUI on Android, and that you can run your Swift business logic & data on Android. You don't have to use the former to benefit from the latter per your concerns

In 2025 it's very common to have common cores and per-platform UI, such as with Rust (which popular apps like Brave and Anki do). This is one way to do so, plus optionally (not necessarily!) using SwiftUI on Android. I don't think you can go to the Brave or Anki open source projects and tell them they would save time by deconstructing their Rust cores into platform-specific redundancies without being laughed out of the room.

I'm not going to buy either, so perhaps my opinion here doesn't count. But I'd be far more likely to buy a set, one for me and one for my wife, than I would be to just buy one for myself. I think that's why she made it, even if that wasn't the original impetus.

It’s historically the smallest popular vote win, but the fact stands that he’s the first republican to win a popular vote since Bush. Note also that he’s polling favorably on his anti-immigration work, but other antics, like renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, is probably distracting for Americans who are waiting for lower goods prices.

I am not sure if people will find these policies favorable in the future, but based on the recent election results the republicans vote house, senate and the presidency. While their margins are slim, which is fine, the fact remains that people voted a certain way because that’s what they wanted.

You’re absolutely right that the margins are too slim, and so the federal government should do its best not to alienate states that don’t think like it. State rights are still important, and should be maintained.
So many good options here.

When I use an FFT to view the spectrogram on YouTube music videos, it is very obvious that YouTube applies a lowpass filter at 16kHz on all videos (true since 2023 at least).

While this does retain the majority of useful information, it explains why the youtube version of your song feels just a little more 'lifeless' than the high quality version you have elsewhere.

The original recording contains high frequency detail that got lost. Your human body uses that high frequency detail to orient itself in space with respect to sound sources (like reverb, reflections, or ambient sounds).

It is interesting from a data storage point of view because this could result in massive savings. Consider audio is recorded at 44.1khz or 48kHz but is actually stored at 32kHz. They have effectively saved 25% in audio file storage at marginal customer experience.
Clayton Bigsby also approves!
No terenary if and the elvis operator, for one. Stuff like that trips me up frequently when jumping between Kotlin and Swift/other C-likes.
Bit difficult to reconcile with reality in case you e.g. have to use the ISP's router or even just their SFP modules, which are really like a router in your router in a sense, and are common in fiber installations to my knowledge, as using a different one can cause issues for other subscribers on the same passive connection.
I think it is quantised, they actually said no distillation.

Owning your own router also helps avoid lock-in. I just switched ISPs and it was relatively painless since I could just plug my router into the new box, maintaining all my config. (At least in theory; since all ISPs are terrible, they misconfigured their own modem, so I had to figure out how to log in and switch it to bridge mode. But after that, painless...)
