Why are you blaming the Canadian media here? The story appears to be about action by a Canadian government.
IANAL but artistic style is not copyrightable. Many many human artists have created images and animated films in the style of Ghibli or Disney or Pixar and there's no direct copyright issue there.
This is legitimately the first time I have ever seen it brought up too! I’ve never heard about this side of them.

Universally hated, but the legal aspects alone are hateworthy.
>You don't think it's suspicious that those four showrooms each sold 2,150 cars in a single weekend?

You don't think it's suspicious that Amazon has a huge order spike in the weekend after black friday? Maybe the FBI should investigate on the off chance they're trying to evade taxes, or launder money for Mexican cartels or whatever.

2150 cars seem pretty reasonable for sales that would otherwise have been made in the next 3-6 months, but were pulled forward by the threat of rebates being pulled.
The levels of cognitive dissonance here are insane. It should go without saying, the idea that tariffs will not be born by consumers and the idea that they will generate $500 billion dollars a year in income cannot both be true.

(This also buries the the amount of deadweight loss to the economy that is not being calculated. A fair amount of consumer spending will turn into neither domestic purchases or tariffed imports.)

I would accuse the administration in believing in magic, but this is somehow dumber than that. They are going around proudly saying that 2 + 2 = 5 and they will use this knowledge to infinite money glitch hack the economy.
Not a lawyer, but I don't think art styles are copyrightable, though maybe they could be in Japan.
They're never going to change this, it's the reason NFL franchises have such massively inflated valuations. Same w/ basketball + IPL franchises, very little downside risk to the earning power of the franchise.
There's a very reasonable argument to be made a number of shopers wouldn't convert if they didn't feel like they were getting a "deal." So honey is undeniably aiding in the sale.

It's not "literally doing nothing" to compile and automatically apply/suggest coupon codes. That's literally doing something. Is it valuable? Objectively, yes, hence the millions upon millions of users.

Your statement is either hyperbolic or disingenuous: the very two things people are accusing honey of doing.
Absolutely true, the Constitution has to be the norm for society. Religious people, such as myself, must find a way to live within it. (easy for me, not so much for others.) The current administration, supposedly run by Christians, are far afield of their "lane", but don't seem to care. Your last sentence is the one that worries me the most, because of what the Project 2025 could morph into, meaning outside the parameters of the Constitution.
r/android got hit really hard by the subreddit blackouts. activity is just very low there.
Not exactly Nobel worthy. :-)

I’m rebuilding a learning library. Webpage bookmarks (with big help from raindrop.io), PDFs (hundreds of them, mostly book chapters), images, jupyter notebooks, markdowns, etc. using a Jekyll static site generator to minimize the tech stack hairballs.

The interesting part is that nearly all of the content is tagged to associate with two or more domains ex:

Goodreads-history-truecrime

PyTorch-Jupyter

Rubyonrails-Testing

Behavior-Gaslighting

Semiconductors-GPUs

And so on.

It’s an exercise in taxonomy creation. Searching by tag doesn’t quite get it. And we all know PDF auto summaries are tough.

I’m not expecting anybody to be impressed. It keeps me occupied while learning how to be (unfortunately) retired.
The author writes for Fortune Europe from Germany.
See, that's exactly why I carefully said I'm sure it exists.

I've personally never had to shard anything in my professional career. Although IDK how painstaking the sharding would really be for most uses I can imagine besides like, social media. Facebook has to deal with everyone interacting with everyone. But the vast majority of situations most developers see isn't like that. You can run Salesforce purely sharding at the tenant level, since I only need to see my tenant's data.

Anyway I feel the need to be emphatic, I'm sure Mongo's benefits can be realized somewhere, just not in any small or medium sized company that doesn't need sharding, and does need a schema.

Not necessarily confusing but very frustrating. This is probably the first time I encountered such a wide range of opinions and therefore such a wide range of uncertainty in a topic close to me.

When a bunch of people very loudly and confidently say your profession, and something you're very good at, will become irrelevant in the next few years, it makes you pay attention. And when you then can't see what they claim to be seeing, then it makes you question whether something is wrong with you or them.
Silicon Valley doesn’t care

The article I linked supports this but to put it simply, Honey delivers a return on ad spend.
Your first point is true, but Honey and other extensions practice "stand down" where if detected, they'll not affiliate tag if there's one already there. It's not a perfect system and there are edge cases to prove the system is not perfect.
It's ultimately up to the retailer to decide whether or not to partner with Honey. The data in the report shows that users with Honey have lower cart abandonment and higher purchase rate. Looking at the numbers, retailers like these two things so they choose to partner.
Automatically applying coupons can decrease margin, but why have coupons at all? Retailers take this into account when putting out coupons. Users who use Honey are typically users who would look for a coupon elsewhere. Retailers would rather the user not leave their website. Honey keeps users on the checkout page.

In terms of being "great business partners". The affiliate space like other industries requires a team of people on the retailer side and Honey's side talking to each other and establishing a relationship.
Here is a random article I just Google'd that sheds a bit of light about that relationship.

So it makes about as much sense to ask why 2/3rds of the galaxies are "upside-down" from our vantage point, because there's no clear reason it should be something other than 50% in a sample size this large?
Not sure I fully understand the accusation. 8600 sales in a weekend is a lot for a physical store, but these happened online. What about the other stores, were they also high? It is possible this was legit but there should be an investigation. Preventing waste, fraud and abuse.

Real purchases require real people, so simply asking who the buyers are should sort it out. If employees were filling out the forms and “buying” then it should be fairly straightforward to figure out.

"I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself"

I emphatically appreciate Miyazaki. Even if you take him as hyperbolic, or perhaps biased due to differences in intention between the engineer team and artistry he represents, it's very positive to have strongly opinionated voices in the room that can clearly articulate why. The anecdote about pain and stiffness is succinct but exactly what is necessary to communicate specifically what is missing from the animations at hand.

However, I'm curious what he would have thought about someone playing QWOP. I wonder if he would be more fully bought into such a concept (well outside his own work of course) if such technology might emphasize appreciation for life rather than trying to mimic/bastardize/reproduce it.
BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard Group each respectably manage trillions of dollars in asset, private equity, and debt. They're independent firms but each own substantial shares in one another. Together these 3 firms are major shareholders in FAANG (big US tech) and mainstream US news agencies. BlackRock alone has disclosed through their latest SEC filings that it holds stakes in 5,387 companies globally.

Hard not to laugh, but you'd be surprised how often even other TTS companies are messing this kind of thing up. I think it has a lot to do with the data source they use for training, which evidently doesn't include a lot of currency amounts...

If you're curious what's possible with <.01% of the funding, check out https://rime.ai/. We train on data recorded in our studio and specifically include a lot of currency in our scripts for this very reason.

That would mean deactivating all discounts. Honey actively scrapes for them, so as soon as a discount is available on the internet it will find it. Not an impossible solution, but not a popular one.

You could probably be clever and come up with a more complicated discount scheme that's not so easy for Honey to take advantage of, but that adds complexity for users as well.
I can't help but feel that at least a significant part of his reaction is due to the subject matter of AI zombies crawling in what we imagine would be painful poses without feeling pain, rather than just the technology itself.
Discord is really awful about this, and that's one of the many reasons I dislike it. Its defaults are bad. I should be able to set, at the account level, the default that servers don't send me notifications. I believe by default, I only get @everyone and @role notifications, which is only a few taps per server. But every time I join a new server, I have to remember to do it. If I didn't actively care about notifications from one particular server, I'd just block Discord notifications entirely and stop managing them in their app at all.
> The most frequent failure mode among human participants is the inability to find a correct solution Typically, human participants have a clear sense of whether they solved a problem correctly. In contrast, all evaluated LLMs consistently claimed to have solved the problems.

This is exactly the problem that needs to be solved. The yes-man nature of LLMs is the biggest inhibitor to progress, as a model that cannot self evaluate well cannot learn.

If we solve this though, combined with reasoning, I feel somewhat confident we will be able to achieve “AGI,” at least over text-accessible domains.
Man, I got a really sweet bat on clearance the last time around they banned some new design. It’s great for the batting cage. Keep an eye on this one, might be $10 out the door next year.
Such a law doesn't automatically imply that everything a model outputs is automatically copyright free though, does it?

Given some of the perspectives here, especially with tech fads, absolutely. They are definitely prolific users here who have that feeling that they support or defend certain ideas in tech as they work on their next project in that area.

As well as just some general sentiments you see from browsing here:

- Strongly anti-copyright and seem fine completely abolishing the idea. One that would remove regulations when it comes to selliing ideas.

- Often defends the idea of private marketplaces and their cuts on developers. Which seems odd on the surface. but it makes sense when you consider it is easier to minmax for one monoplistic storefront than develop endpoints to support multiple stores. Why disrupt something you make steady income from as is?

- There's definietly underlying sentiments towards in work-related topics that come from those leading/managing companies. a stronger skew towards employee productivity and a need to aggressively weed out "low performers". A slight skew supporting business decisions like mass layoffs, even suggesting those laid off were low performers or otherwise just freeloading.

little things you catch here and there as you browse a community for years.
Crucially, this was before the transformer paper, "Attention is all you need", or any of the diffusion models had been released.

This just looks like some painful RL or evolutionary algorithms, at best.
Yes this is basically the result of two pretty terrible Belgian media conglomerates buying everything up and combining it into one pulpy slop. The government let it all happen.
tbh i think it's a good thing when people can make art in a style they love. most people make kitsch, that's ok. people who study will make stuff that reaches the emotional and intellectual heights of the best.

it does make me uneasy if OpenAI charges more than at-cost to help people do so though. it's the profiteering off others' work that is gross.

a quote from "The Communist Manifesto" about the nature of capitalism:

"Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind."

the issue is that it's very hard to even let their desired audience know that they exist.

the only feasible way (short of like, scraping every comment made on a subreddit and dm'ing each of those users) to reach the audience you're trying to convince to switch to your alternate subreddit is by... posting on the original subreddit. the original subreddit has no incentive to allow your post, and public moderation logs aren't a thing on reddit, so...
Regulators don’t have to look beyond short term consumer preference (or rather, consumer benefit) with respect to dumping actually, because only the long term aspect of dumping (when prices are raised on consumers after driving competitors out of the market) is illegal. A company is free to burn as much capital as it wants while it is trying to enter and take over a market.
Sure, and in those cases those retailers may choose not to partner with Honey. However, Honey maintains an active partnership with quite a lot of happy retailers, even after PayPal took over.
The data comes in two ways:

1. Hey these particles are interacting with each other (e.g. they attract each other, they repel each other, they combine or split apart into each other, etc...)

2. I have measured something about this interaction (e.g. how fast, how far, how likely, etc...) to within a certain degree of accuracy

Put them together and we have a sparse noisy list of forces, and a list of constants.

Then we come up with theories to explain and reduce the data to their simplest components.

Those theories occasionally spit out that there should be an interaction we haven't seen between some particles yet or a more accurate picture of an interaction we have already seen and we can run some experiments to see if the theory holds true in practice.

We can then check how well those theories work by their predictions.

- Gravity is just varying amounts of positive attraction over unlimited range (i.e. just a positive integer).

- Electromagnetism is varying amounts of positive or negative attraction over unlimited range. (i.e. just an integer)

The problem with strong interactions is that they get messy really fast. The energies and interactions involved are crazy.

- We have the quarks (which are the fundamental matter particles that the strong force interacts on)

- We have the gluons (which are part of the strong force itself)

- And the strong interactions: which are actually 3 different amounts of positive or negative attractions that must all balance out (i.e. a whole bunch of numbers), but they get stronger as they get further away to the point that new particles can be created to reduce the range between any two particles, oh and the gluons can also interact with each other complicating matters further.
I guess if you allocate more than you need upfront that it could increase memory usage.

Likewise, I feel like the article presents a somewhat manufactured "quote" and misinterpretation of what was being referred to in the linked video.

Unfortunately I'm sure this sensationalised fake-quote will spread much more quickly than any context / checking.
Great game, I enjoyed it! Reminds me of echo chess, using the chess pieces for movement means it's really easy to pick up.

I noticed a potential bug (Firefox on Android) - I can pick up extra points by capturing, capturing again, then quickly moving back to the first capture square. I get the points as if it was another capture, even though there is no piece there anymore.

Edit: actually, I can quickly move back and forth for infinite points (and combo)
What lights are you talking about? UV capable of disinfecting isn't something you want to be looking at. (Are you perhaps thinking of the bug-zapper lamps that are sometimes described as UV? Way up at the top of the visual spectrum, a lot of bugs go for them. But they're just a lure to get the bug between the high voltage wires that actually kill it.)

The only disinfecting UV lights I've heard of for use in occupied areas are hanging things that only point up where nobody's going to be exposed. I have heard of some research for safe UV lights that are high up in the UV, they actually still burn but without enough penetration to get through the dead skin layer.

lots of government stuff is ripe for converting to

and there is good evidence that when government is streamlined, there is more public engagement, and higer revenues for taxes and fee's.Lots of stuff that isn't AI per say,but just good automation that allows people to self serv, is going to eliminate (hopefully) a lot of jobs, that almost no one will miss
(Disclosure: I used to work at the Guardian, a million years ago, and helped with their early entry onto the web, including decisions about not having a paywall.)

What the Guardian has, throughout its editorial, is a political position. This is something that UK national newspapers naturally evolved over time as a differentiator, and is common (but not universal) in many countries. There are various political stable-ish ecological niches -- left, center-left, center-right, upper class, business, popularist right, and various news media that have staked out their territory. That means that they can attract with "ragebait", and also build a reasonably consistent (or self-consistent, at least) factual reportage. Someone who leans right-wing but wishes to be informed might buy the Guardian regardless, because they can disregard and triangulate. You have a core audience, and as long as that audience is loyal -- and needs some connection to reality, you can fund greater than just ragebait.

Ragebait isn't the only business model for supporting honest journalism, and one of the lessons I learned at the Guardian is that the actual business models can be surprising and frequently unrelated to news reporting. For many years, the Guardian was kept solvent through used car sales via Autocar, the most profitable asset in the Scott Trust. (One of the reasons why the Guardian was so early going online is that its editors, in particular Alan Rusbridger, recognised presciently that the Web was going to absolutely gut Autocar's profits, and so they needed to get ahead of the game.) You will be surprised about how many booms and busts in UK media industry have been determined by audience-pullers like crosswords, bingo, photos of naked models, and sudoku.
Yeah but humans aren't exactly fast at replicating any particular art style.
I was taught in high school (an unfortunately long time ago :) that Merlin was a title, not a name, primarily of Scottish origin to refer to the chief Druid priest...

updated: according to irishmythswebsite Emrys was the name of the particular merlin that served Arthur, as proposed in the TV series Merlin, but I need HG Wells to go check!
I don't see how. This kind of AI has no mind and can't feel anything, so it has no component that's needed for expressing feelings in art. That's his main point. That was true then, it's true today.
Students with a goal to be able to speak and listen to Japanese should still learn hiragana, even if they have zero goals or need for reading. Understanding the building blocks that map out each "sound" in Japanese is not only beneficial but, in my experience, necessary if one wants their Japanese to "sound" Japanese enough for clear communications with native speakers. Yes, a learner could do without it, but a few weeks of study (ymmv) to grasp Hiragana is totally worth it.
I remember the nature vs nurture debate, and always disagreed with it. I think it pigeon holed and disempowered the gay and the queer community for decades. I think it overstated the science, and understated the value of human autonomy.

That said, the battleground was about what they could do, so a live and let live compromise was possible. Gradual acceptance followed and continues increasing today.

With Trans, there battleground is belief, and even more critically, identity. Accepting homosexuals didnt require people to redefine themselves, their own gender, and that of the one they are attracted to. Self identity is incredibly important to people.
