This is just gatekeeping. Art is not better because it was made by hand as opposed to with technology. If I use a generative model to make art then I’m an artist.

> vast majority of art used by midjourney is not public domain Is that true? How did you establish that?

These models are not conscious, they’re not acting on their own. If I make art using a generative model it’s no more the model doing it than it’s sketchbook doing it if I were to use that. I’m making art using whatever tool, sometimes that

Generative models are just a tool. Artists are mad because this tool empowers other people, who they view as less talented, to make art too. The camera and 1-hour film developing didn’t destroy oil paintings, it just enabled more people to

That’s literally what human artists do, and how they work. Art is iteratively building on the work of others. That’s why it’s so easy to trace its evolution.

The irony of that reference is that Ozymandias is one of the most famous people in all of history when called by his Egyptian name. Ramesses II.

GP completes the holy SO triptych. One person asks for the specifics of an obscure technical thing. A second person gives a detailed answer with a ton of explanation which thoroughly answers the question. A third person projects their frust

The amount of time is entirely dependent on what kind of work it is and what kind of blocked you are. Can’t get your build to succeed? Ask for help quickly. Can’t get your research model to produce useful results on the first try? Maybe try

Robber barons who hired the Pinkerton detectives to kill their striking workers would like a word.

That’s not what transmitted in plain text means. Transmitted in plain text means unencrypted on the wire, which is not the case here. Proton definitely knows that, and deliberately worded it this way for maximum scare factor. If they’ll be

Lots of people have this strong psychological need to feel like they’re Doing Something™. VPNs sell them that peace of mind.

The hard part on an ICBM is down, not up. Also, liquid fuel is a bad idea for rockets that need to be ready to go at a moment’s notice for decades.

Huh? How would the Russian arsenal being degraded and not effective in any way argue for more US defense spending?

To be a bit more general about this, I have found that the returns to combatting fraud are highly nonlinear. Having a better national ID than SSNs would have effectively no negative impact while being a huge benefit for security and fraud p

You have made my point quite thoroughly, thanks.

Archiving doesn’t mean what you think it means; ripping a disc and then preserving the file so you can watch it on your phone is not “archiving”. The congress has added a process for the rule-making authority to draw bright-line distinction

…for people who are unwilling to pay. There are explicit carve outs in the DMCA for anyone who is legitimately doing any of those things to break DRM to make copies. You just need to actually pay for the material.

Careful, you’re saying the quiet part out loud; freedom is about profiting off the uncompensated work of others.

Infiniband is not a proprietary interconnect. Water is not a proprietary cooling system. High scale is about using commodity components (hundreds of) thousands of times.

None of this is true. Highly upvoted hn comments (the ones people read) bring receipts. This is just someone’s low effort opinion. For what it’s worth, the cost to extract uranium from seawater is actually a very complicated subject. It is

TikTok is not credible. You can’t click the links or easily verify the conclusions. It’s the ultimate in trust me bro science.

What do you think this article was about, if not a judge and jury deciding this issue?

Why would you expect there to be one? It’s all the same stuff and has been for decades.

Adjudicated answers, also known as patents, have been separately issued for these very different techniques to accomplish the same underlying goal. The transmission patents are expired for quite sometime however, which is why devices using

Technically yes, but that’s a bit like saying rocket engine patents are about the vector of hot gasses. There are a lot of issues with creating one chip that both emits and receives light which are not present in a transmission model. In pa

Yes. By partnering with Apple. The employees left to go work at Apple. Which is fine, you can work wherever you want and companies are free to hire/poach whoever they want. The issue here is not that Apple hired them or that Apple didn

Clicking once and having a thing show up at your house is not a concept, it’s a process. There are lots of ways to have a streamlined payment experience which do not violate this patent.

Those dates are all incorrect (or at a minimum not applicable). As is stated in the cited Wikipedia article, those dates are for detecting pulseox via transmission of light through a thin part of the body, such as a finger or ear, as oppose

Or trifling matters like clips working on an entirely different principle (transmission vice reflection) than the method which remains patent encumbered.
