In most cases, the ones who do sue are neither - they’re companies themselves, with shareholders of their own, or funds with specific regulations (which amount to much the same, if not more specifically profit-oriented). These are not peopl

That thinking is one reason why I left engineering and I don’t see myself coming back to it anytime soon. I don’t like being on-call, I’m not qualified to do Ops-like decisions and I haven’t seen this as the practice in most other industrie

You can find an article on Bloomberg stating that Databricks’ annual revenue has grown by 60%, which sort of backs the SaaS hypothesis it bets on. Do you have data on your PaaS hypothesis that is bigger than that? Source: https:/&#x2F

I’m a solution architect at Databricks, so feel free to skip if you think I’m too biased - just know that I worked with Databricks before working for them, and I liked the platform then as well. While Databricks definitely started with Spar

Are you sure? If you look at plagiarism in music, you'll find a number of cases where the defendant makes a compelling point about not remembering or consciously knowing they heard the original song before. For legal purposes, it is no

On a first read, I could agree with most, if not all, of the author’s arguments. But there are two aspects that were simply left out that I have to consider when doing MLOps, which can prove too complex for just saying “It’s an extension of

I find it strange that so many people in this area get concerned about becoming obsolete. Back in college, I clearly remember a discussion we had (me and colleagues) about how our job was exactly to get us obsolete as soon as possible, so w

And won’t it be nice when that happens that you will then be able to jump from app to app because they are required by law to interoperate?

You can justify post facto the move you made. Can you write down the logical process (probably a combination of strategy, move generation, analysis and selection) that would replicate the moves you picked from the beginning of the game? I d

That is not true. The dataset is needed, the same way that examples are used by a person learning to draw. But the dataset alone is not capable of producing images not derived from any part of it (and there are many examples of SD results t

Can you draw Biden without ever having seen him or a picture of him? So,why is it that you are not deriving but SD is?

That. The legislation is not forcing the choice on any consumer, it’s giving them their choice back by forcing Meta to ask the question in clear terms and allow users to clearly tell Meta they are not allowed to spy. Now, if Meta can’t make

I’m not so sure. My observations are certainly not statistically significant, but I’m a Brazilian who moved to Germany. One of the things I noticed when using email here is that the amount of people who have an email not @gmail.com, but wha

This may be difficult for an American to understand, but a driver's license is not a core document, and many people may not have it. In most places it'd not come to mind in a discussion about digital ID.

Removing the possibility of financing phones and calls through ads changes the entire market dynamic. I can’t say for sure that the ad-free prices wouldn’t drop because they were suddenly the only option available and scale gains (or a surv

Having done both sides of the work, I totally understand the author’s perspective. Modelling and coding production are certainly two different skillsets, and many people will prefer one or the other, but not both. Now, there is one thing I

The idea that creating a model can be a “user story written in math” seems to me a variation on a common misunderstanding about what model creation, particularly the role of coding in it is. Data scientists, statisticians, modellers, don’t

While I tend to agree with most of the arguments that DS code is usually of low quality, and that DS are not well-trained in good development practices, I wonder if making them better coders is an attainable goal, or even a proper one. My r

That is the reason why I still have a cellar full of books and over 1000 CDs. I refuse to let someone else take control over the content I buy after I’ve bought it. I’d be happy to pay for digital content, but if it comes with DRM, it’s a n

I can suggest an idea, considering that the “AI program” is the model, not the training algorithm. A program gets written by an entity (usually a person) and is executed to generate the desired output according to a deterministic mathematic

True and valid. But all those clauses, AFAIK, were written with the mindset of ïf you want to run this code (particularly, but not limited to, for profit), you have to at least attribute it”. Copilot allegedly doesn’t run that code - it cla

If I read 10 or 20 books about a topic and then go teach that topic to others, do I have to attribute each thing to all the authors from where I learned it? And what if I come up with my own interpretation of a topic, do I have to trace it

Last I checked this was very much a gray area. I’d expect at least a long investigation into the amount of work and testing put into validating that the self-driving algorithm operates inside reasonable standards of safe driving. In fact, I

by bobbruno 4y ago
I believe this is the core point of the lawsuit - is Copilot really creating code from what it learned (which happens to, by some weird glitch, mimic the source code) or is it just a big overfitting model that learned to encode and memorize
