Unless every aspect of AI generated art is required to be marked or labeled as such in some way, it will likely still gain the benefits of copyright assumptions in the sense that if you mix copyrightable and uncopyrightable material together you will surely deter people at least within your own country or on a platform that respects copyright from using it due to the ambiguity.

Another situation is simply making "significant" manual copyrightable manipulations to your AI generated work to make it copyrighted.

Outside of situations where the author doesn't really care whether the work is copyrighted (blog images, twitter memes), it may just slow down the process rather than stopping it.

I'm more concerned about the ingestion side of things. I can't deny that the technology is awesome and generally transformative, but it's hard to deny that it intuitively feels wrong to just process all of an artist's work into a database of numbers and use it however you want.

If artists gain widespread benefit from it too, maybe it's not as bad, but that doesn't help those who opt to not use it.

At the same time, how does this impact those who create AI generated art using models created from artists who signed off on it? Does this mean there's no room for a business to create copyrightable AI generated art and thus funnel money back to the artists the model was populated from? Couldn't that hurt artists even more if the avenues of profiting from the AI shift are cut off, or is the main benefit of that to avoid copyright claims on art that turns out too similar to an existing work you didn't have a license for?

You might be interested to know that this is official policy on Android. Yes, I'm appalled too.
Well you do if someone rejects a copyright claim on the grounds that the image is AI-generated, and a court backs them up.
When the oldest university in Turkey can be forced to revoke a diploma, no other university would dare to do that. Also it would be a honorary degree, which probably doesn't count.

Maybe a foreign university can, but I believe he would still need to get a state institution (YÖK - Higher Education Council) to approve the foreign diploma.
so they mislead people??? how this is any different than scam??? like legally grey scam
Triton is not that bad at all, considering the wide scope of systems it has to support (tensorrt, onnx, multiple generations of pytorch, cuda, python). It was much nicer than the old Torchserve project which was JVM based.
I am extremely ready to drop my FitBit since they do nothing but make the product worse. The only major watch brand with something small is Garmin with their extremely ugly vivo smart.

But I am worried about compatibility. I assume it will be possible to connect into Home Assistant eventually, but would be nice to get confirmation on how open the platform plans to be in allowing me to get my own data.

I also wonder if they will pursue partnerships. I feel safe sharing my walking data with my insurance company and can usually max out the rewards simply by getting my steps in on most days and doing normal annual things. Will Pebble work with them?
I have to admit I'm offended.

Your arbitrary borders include whole eastern europe, most of the balkans, sweden, finland, estonia, latvia, around half of africa, greece, middle east, basically whole asia, indonesia, india, china, russia, and half of australia. There may be countries equally as bad in that list, but saying everyone does it with "some tiny exceptions" is egregious.

There are corners like Substack that are an exception. And at least services like YouTube and Spotify offer a paid alternative to ads. I for one would rather pay the ~$10/month than sit through ads. But we are still very much a minority of users.

Far from being a Mac Mini, the reference home assistant hardware is spec-for-spec a 4Gb Orange Pi 3B: https://www.home-assistant.io/green/

A far cry from your claim of "it cannot be done". And the $40 retail sticker for that board doesn't seem to match up with your claim about pricing.

Even low cost modern SoCs have NPUs in the double-digit TOPs, and memory densities being what they are, there's very little excuse not to run a special purpose language processing model on device.

You can't quite treat each lane as an independent serial channel; DRAM chips are at least 8 bits wide, and this GPU needs to either connect 16 bits to each die or connect groups of 32 bits to two dies, and the DRAM die does want to get the whole word on the same clock cycle. There's no SERDES at either end like you get with PCIe or Ethernet. Just 512 PHYs doing 32+Gbps PAM3. If you want those to be long-reach PHYs, you're not going to have much die space or power budget left for compute.
The “definition” of PC is “A personal computer (PC) is a microcomputer designed for use by one person at a time.”

In common parlance it has come to mean “a computer running a Microsoft operating system”. Most people these days would consider an Arm based computer running Windows a “PC”.

> I think one of them is a college professor.

I saw an argument about this latter decision which (rightfully) claimed that, if what happened is lawful, then they should also revoke the diplomas of all students of that college professor.
This is an interesting book. I've been in this space for years now and could easily see myself writing something like this, but I don't think it would look like this book.

I really don't like to see things like any sort of recommendation for use of n-propyl bromide. That shit's neurotoxic. The people who can use it safely will already know about it, know someone who knows about it, or find it on their own. Anyone who finds out about nPB here should not be touching it.

Unfortunately, many of the parts of the book that I've scanned are like that. There's a lot of prescription, not a lot of background/theory/underlying details, and no way to tell when the prescriptions are inapplicable or straight-up wrong. Which, often, they are: one of the hallmarks of deep experience is knowing when "the rules" are useful and when they're not, but what we have here is mostly rules. That will get your product out the door, I guess, but it's not going to level you up as an engineer, if that's what you're needing. Another example: stackups are discussed, but there's no mention of slash sheets, which is how you get things done cheaply and correctly. Specifying Rogers material for anything but the nastiest designs is just going to get your pockets drained and your Asian fab annoyed because they have to special order that. If you need it, sure, you need it... but can you get away with something more universal?

And then there's things like this: "Most SMPS datasheets will advise you on what
bead to use and where to put it". Hahahaha no they won't. And if they will, there's a decent chance they get it wrong. Ferrite beads are so useful and so much trouble that you can't trust an IC datasheet to get it right, even if they want to do the same things you want to do. Which they might not!

If you're a more junior engineer trying to level up, give this one a look instead: Analog SEEKrets: https://www.eevblog.com/files/seekPDF.pdf

Yup, Apple made Lightning because USB-C wasn't a thing yet and MicroUSB is awful. Lightning is a whole lot better than MicroUSB, and they've been using it since 2012. MiniUSB B was pretty OK, Micro was just way too thin to be stable and would snap off frequently, in addition to being not very secure and hard to orient. Mini was thicker though, so while it worked fine for the HTC Apache and other Windows Mobile phones of the era, it wasn't going to be small enough to work on an iPhone.

So many people complaining about a really robust connector that solved real problems and has proven to be pretty reliable for 13 years. I'm no huge Apple fanboi, and I'm happy to have all their stuff use USB-C now, but the hate for Lightning is way inflated IMO.
Not paying your taxes is not equivalent to "revoked on a whim".
> DOGE is both a coup and a decapitation strike

It had the potential to be. It didn't wind up being one. The notion of Musk having influence over Trump now looks a bit silly. The decapitation is true, but that's MAGA, not DOGE.

I'm genuinely split between DOGE being a (1) busywork/feel-good project to keep Musk from becoming a problem or (2) distraction so Trump could get his deficit-busting tax cuts and spending increases through. (If the latter, we should learn soon.)
Insider baseball IMO.
Perhaps I should have been clearer, but especially compared to the rest of the enterprise tech market, security is unusually fragmented. There is no Microsoft or Cisco of the security market in the way those companies dominate the desktop operating system and core networking markets, respectively.

Analysts sometimes refer to the enterprise networking market as "Cisco and the Seven Dwarves". Nobody has ever said that about Symantec (prior to the Broadcom acquisition) or Palo Alto Networks.

It is often the case that in a new security product category, the products are so different, it is hard to collect them together in a single category with a straight face. Example: next generation AV circa 2015-2016. AV was a well-worn product category. All of the legacy products did basically the same thing. More or less at the same time, a bunch of new products came to market that all claimed the mantle of "next generation AV:"

* Bit9 did process whitelisting, later adding Carbon Black for endpoint forensics

* Fire Eye had a proto-EDR solution

* Cylance did ML-based malware detection

* Palo Alto Networks had an exploit-mitigation focused agent that they bolted ML-based malware detection onto.

The industry slowly converged on EDR as the sort-of successor to endpoint AV budgets.

A few years later, the cloud security space was the same fragmented mess. Some were what we now know as CSPM, some were glorified DLP solutions, some container security solutions, etc.
That's like saying copyright covers the mouse clicks and mouse movements in Photoshop but not the output pixels.
Refusing to accept that you lost an election and then attempting an insurrection to overthrow the candidate that you lost to isn't quite the same thing.
The 3rd parties are not getting anything out of it. You literally pay for access to a tech stack that has nothing better than you would be able to do with USB.
I mean the other side of connection was USB so it was a necessity anyway.
If at least they upgraded the speed over the years, but nope stuck at USB 2.

For a hardware project I looked briefly at the MFi terms and they just don't make any sense. This is why any good lightning cable was always more expensive (at least before you get some from China with contraband auth chips)

Lightning is a major cash crab from Apple and revealed their actual playbook. Microsoft passed as a very bad players in the 90's but Apple is even worse.
The only people not accepting that are deranged fans.

> What would YOU do in my situation to break the cycle?

1. Get a laptop (Buy or Borrow)
2. Get a gym membership (i.e. shower, keep up fitness)
3. Apply for local dev jobs (work out of the library)

The main thing for me would be to maintain cleanliness and to find work in an office. An office job solves many issues in your case (don't need to find clients, they usually supply computer gear, a place to eat breakfast, lunch etc).

If you have a plan but can't afford e.g. a gym membership or laptop, then use gofundme or equivalent to get help from others to execute on your plan.

I mean, you could even just visit local tech meetups and tell them what you need, I'm sure there'll be some people that can help you out.
I haven't paid for all that many lightning cables period, since they tended to be included with most devices that needed them, and aside from some strain reliefs that I've added myself in the form of heat shrink, they've been largely reliable too.
no, because Hollywood in 100 years has already evolved through every possible lying weasel lawsuit you or others here could imagine.. and yet humans continue to dream, write, paint and act. Single-line gotcha's are not new, hold no weight, produce very little that is constructive IMHO
> How big a problem was this in practice?

It can deadlock and cause crashes if you do use a library impacted. It's sometimes hard to tell and you'd have to dig into the source. Sometimes the library maintainer wouldn't update the code to a different method for <reasons>.

> Is this really common?

Yes, maybe not in obvious ways e.g. many developers use Spring, which is backed by a large organization and you'd assume to have things covered but under the hood Spring itself uses many libraries and some often open source without much support (can be a personal project by a single developer).
> You cannot do whatever you want on someone else's hosted website

The whole thing with Bluesky and decentralized protocols is no server can enforce special rules.

Sure, they could come up with something that says "our PDS will not accept backdated events", but they will not be able to stop someone else to set up a server that does that without any issue.

Wait until you see what the requirements are to run for president in Singapore:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_elections_in_Sing...

Mysteriously, the requirements are tightened up and/or new ones are invented every time a credible-looking opposition candidate pops up. Most famously, before the 2017 election the requirement was imposed that the president has to be selected from a rotating selection of races, in this case Malay, which by complete coincidence disqualified the otherwise-qualified Chinese opposition candidate:

Nope, SMS works. Just fine. Apple rightly warns you that you are in a lower security environment by adding a bit of visual friction. This is true EVEN IF you are using RCS, because European laws require termination and inspection when RCS messages “interoperate” and are sent to other providers.

While there is a large gap in the two models in terms of finances, operations and everything else, trying to argue that customers should pick your company purely because you haven't raised money shows that you are either deliberately being insincere or know nothing about the industry, neither of which are great selling points.

More specifically the reason we didn’t have an index time for that post was an architectural migration which lost our prior witness times. That was pretty early on.

That is kind of the central idea of democracy.

Instead of revolution and all its upheavel & damage, you get a mini controlled revolution every 4 years.

Instead of unmitigated riots, you get demonstrations but with some crowd control & beurocracy to prevent injuries (and well chaos, riots and looting).

Democracy is kind of a deal - you get to have the popular discontent but without the extreme forms that end up damaging bystanders.
> I think in practice it has to do with some libs (eg jdbc drivers) that would be relying on synchronized.

Those usually have company / community backing that gets it fixed. The irony is you patch the ORM and you patch the JDBC driver only to realize the database pooling library in-between is the 1 that's broken and the author refuses to fix it.
Needlessly replacing a working item is over consumption. An EV has much more embodied carbon compared to an ICE vehicle and needs 20,000 miles to "break even." I'm likely 2 years away from that given our driving habits.

You could argue that the next driver will pick up the slack for me, but I can't guarantee that to be the case.
Why didn't they they work with the other actors to create a common standard 13 years ago? You know why, because they don't care about their users! And they even tried to stop the move to a standard many years later when the lightning connectors were outdated, making it even more clear.
Because the people buying these things have power supplies that are also rated by their wattage.

If someone has a 750w PSU they'll need to replace it with something higher, e.g., 1000w, to run this card and the rest of the computer components.

Having power ratings in these simple terms is helpful.
The diploma says you've successfully completed an education, and has the knowledge and skills it should confer.

Murdering a professor doesn't change that fact, so from a strict logical standpoint it should not be affected.

agree, firing ion beams to make the mirror perfect one molecule at a time(they are declared the most precise mirrors on earth). This stuff is beyond wild. Not that I believe this stuff came from alien technology but if anything could be said to have not originated on earth this would be a strong candidate. And barely a hundred years ago we just figuring out flight at kitty hawk and now you have technology like this, its really amazing.
Wouldn't AI generated art be derivative work done by Google (or whoever) when creating their Gemini models? So then Google owns all gemini created ai artwork?
>Right, but how do they set that budget? The cost part of the budget is the result of decison-making.

The same way any organization sets a budget. A bunch of competing interests fight it out.

>The 'insanely expensive' isn't something inherent to the services themselves.

The thing you're missing here is that sure people want the name, and the networking, but they also want and education, and an experience. The experience is very expensive to provide.

>Imagine this. Harvard offers any student a $20k per year discount on fees, with one condition: you don't get the piece of paper, and you can never tell anyone you studied at Harvard, or even imply that you did. Would people take that deal? They'd get all the same services, so why not?

Let's do another thought experiment. All Harvard students get to vote. $20k per year discount, but Harvard gets rid of the multi-billion dollar campus. No rec-center, no marble buildings, no enormous libraries, no stadiums, no manicured landscaping, no pomp and circumstance at all. Just a couple big gray buildings full of classrooms and army barrack style accommodations far enough outside of town that land and construction are cheap. Plus they fire all of their top tier professors and hire lecturers from community colleges.

Harvard students expect amenities. They expect grandeur. And they expect exclusivity, so Harvard can't just bump up their total enrollment to 50k like a big state school.

If you look at big state schools without the name, Harvard tuition sticker price isn't that much higher. University of Massachusetts Boston (ranked #214 in the US) is just under $40k for out of state students.
