Did the original owners of the books no longer have them in their possession afterwards? Theft involves removing from the source, Copyright violation is distributing copies without a legal right to do so. Training is fair use. The judge f

Have you been following the videos on Youtube of the Amiga port of Sonic? Their approach to replicating the behaviour is to run the original game logic. The display has to be totally rewritten but they had the advantage of 68k for both mac

There are a few instructions that are functionally equivalent. It is possible that one of the assemblers has the ability to auto convert equivalent behaviour instructions into smaller instructions that do the exactly the same thing. That

No, spectre is based upon speculative execution of code generated by another party. The breach is from the protection stopping that code from doing anything bad. Speculatve execution making things faster by varying amounts is used to turn

My aphantasia says your milage may vary on that. On the other hand I deal with higher dimensions better than most, possibly because of my aphantasia.

It certainly comes across as disrespectful. To my reading the nature of supervision creating the structure seems to be the core of the argument.

That is not a given. I have earned a living from created works of authorship. I think copyright suppresses creation and does very little to support creators in general. It has enabled businesses to choose a few winning creators that reap t

If you can't say when something will happen you are just playing with statistics on another domain. Seems like this chaps problem was that the actions were based upon a different hypothesis than the one he stated. X will cause Y by th

Which also did not seem to me to be AI generated. I read that one to the end and it seemed coherent enoght. The writer has been writing articles on books going back to 2017 at least.

I get the impression that analogies like this are trying to disguise a moral judgement as a practical one. It's clearly absurd to abandon GC languages or to require everyone who uses one to learn assembly. Yes, it could be beneficial

As the article states, this phenomenon may be documented, but there is no consensus that it describes any practical reality. The predicted consequences have now had time to manifest, and have not done so. This makes the claim either false

AI is not intrinsically matmul. Current models are a framing of the problem as matmul to enable the bulk operations necessary. There are many calculations that can (and have been) reframed into matrix form to achieve similar results. M

Noted. Also, they are so tiny. It's not until you see them making a sparrow look large that it really hits you.

We have quite a few birds around our house and it has been quite gratifying to see how much they accept your presence after a while. While making coffee yesterday morning, there were three tauhau hopping around in the tree outside the wind

I'm not a fan when schadenfreude indulges in someone failing to make the world a better place. I think there is a simple reason why AI tutors are not terribly successful. AI is just not good enough yet, they are only just now capable

I was never going to do very well on this. My ADHD was itching after the third one. I suspect it would have been sooner but I had a bit of extra focus from the suprise that it selected an answer for the first question when I tried to scrol

Giving an LLM a program that does a well defined thing correctly and asking it to make a faster version and a crapload of tests to show that it performs exactly the same task is a great way to burn through a bunch of tokens and getting a fa

It seems to be how people view things, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It's like the outrage when wealthy people get off on charges. Usually it is because they have the resources to demand the justice that should be affor
