I hear you and I agree. It's the middle column in the chart that's the problem. Maybe the label on that one should be "enshittification" because that's where it becomes less about solving problems and more like busy

I remember reading this when it was first posted (probably to HN). It's been a long time but I think Zed still has a point. I've also had to revisit these issues with product managers or junior developers.

You need to have some serious savings to pay out the monthly cost of COBRA. The last time I was in this position, it was ~$1,800/month to cover my family.

I'm not seeing substantial investment back in the EHR, wherever the money is going it's not being spent on improving the product. Epic remains a thick desktop app served over Citrix sessions, their web-based workflows still haven&

In my opinion, this is less about the field (health care, real estate, etc.) and more about automating someone's core role. Many people have learned to do a particular job a particular way: some things they have picked up through trial

Understood, but being emancipated could mean that you need to be able to used LinkedIn, perhaps as part of a job search. An argument could be made that an emancipated minor should have access to some social media.

Emancipation of children is also a thing, where a minor may petition the court to be treated as an adult. This also falls afoul of a blanket age restriction. https://jeannecolemanlaw.com/the-legal-emancipation-of-minor...

Clearly this isn't the case here, but even having the work available for a short time might achieve the creator's goals. I'm thinking of Dudesy and their "AI" George Carlin impression. It certainly generated a lot o

I hear you. I was thinking something like "they don't have that much data anyway." For sure, there are better choices.

My current task at my day job is analyzing a large amount of data stored in a Spark cluster. I'd say, so far, 80% of the job has been extracting data from the cluster so that I can work with it interactively with DuckDB. This data is a

It's a little clunky as I'm not that great a designer, I also used parts that I already had around (like the power supply). Still, I think it may meet your requirement of a "Mac Classic using the tech of today". I'v

Is there something here about the terms being sloppy and unscientific, making the answer somewhat useless? Whatever "swimming" or "thinking" might be, it's not something clearly defined.

If Boeing really cared about their customers, they would tighten the bolts on outgoing planes to make sure that they wouldn't lose doors and windows and stuff. Maybe Alaska does really care, but I must confess my first thought was also

It is not clear that training an LLM falls under "fair use". We are then left with the license of the work, in this case that license forbids re-selling the work for a profit. It is the artist's license for their work at issu

I disagree that a person learning is the same as an AI model being trained. That aside, typically fair use covers the use of an excerpt or a portion of the material, not reproduction of the work in it's entirety. Agreed: in the end, co

by cmiles74 3y ago
Yes, I believe that is correct. If you do something "transformative" with the material then you are allowed to treat it as something new. There's also the idea of using a portion of a copyrighted work (like a quote or a clip

The artist in the article clearly states that his work was free to use only if it was not used to make a profit, those were the terms of their license. In the artist's opinion, OpenAI violated that license by training their tool on the

OpenAI is very much a for-profit company with the same incentives to make money as every other US for-profit company. I understand that there's another company that is a non-profit and that company bosses the for-profit company. In my

Or they won't tell you until you receive your first bill, when it's far too late to cancel the contract.

The NYT needs to increase profits every quarter, just like everyone else. I have no doubt they will license their content to OpenAI. With the issue unsettled legally, right now, I suspect the NYT doesn't think OpenAI is offering them a

I'm not sure what "more multi-platform" means here. It's been a long time since I've run into an environment that didn't have easy access to Java and it's tools.

Many of the introductory programming courses seem to favor Python. If you already know a little Python, I can see the temptation to stick with it instead of learning Fortran.

Perhaps we will see the courts revisit this idea of "transformative" works and formulate something more useful. I'm my opinion, you can't build an LLM unless you have a large amount of data with which to train it. Given

OMG! Or they could just license the content. I suspect that would be both easier and less expensive. ;-)

I think the issue is that they trained ChatGPT on the New York Times' proprietary IP without paying licensing fees and, the Times argues, that is illegal. By way of proof the Times has examples of ChatGPT dumping out articles verbatim.

In my opinion RCS isn't really comparable to iMessage; it still needs support from the network provider and needs the cell phone data network to function. We really need some kind of standards based internet messaging solution in order

There are some functional issues as well, my understanding is that group chats in particular are inconsistent for Android members of the group.

I will be very surprised if Apple's RCS support includes end-to-end encryption. Apple has said... "Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association. W

I don't think the core motivation in this discussion (or the monetary motivation from Beeper) is due solely to "angsty teenagers." Clearly there are adults out there, with money to spend, who would prefer to send an iMessage

IMHO, it's unlikely anyone with an iPhone uses it "purely for SMS usage." That would mean we have an iPhone owner who only receives SMS from services, only sends messages to people with an Android device, has gone through the
