I think copyright law as a mechanism for incentivizing the creation of new intellectual works is fundamentally challenged by the invention and continued development of the shockingly powerful machine learning technique of generative pre-tra

I've encountered this a few times in Tokyo myself; from memory at the very least outside of a mall in Shinjuku and outside of a building a block or two away from the Shibuya Scramble crossing. My traveling companion never noticed them

I absolutely understand, it's just not hard to make scraper traffic appear as (or be) legitimate browser traffic and/or simply distributed across numerous IPs. Other technical controls all have trivial circumvention methods. There

Operating a website doesn't automatically put you in that position, as evidenced by the fact that scraping does not require your consent to be possible. Ultimately there's little practical difference between someone's eyes vi

If your business is just that you have a bundle of information and expose it over an open website, I’m not really sure how you’re able to maintain a mentality that you are somehow entitled to ownership of that information. You already put i

At least for me: short sections with emoji, varied formatting, etc provide anchors for me when I loss focus and come back.

I wonder how you’d transfer the heat without exposing the steep to radiation. I assume that would be bad anyways. I wish I paid attention more in physics, would love to know how such a system could be built.

Is kagi’s financial status that dire? Call me stupid, but I’m excited to get the shirt and feel warmly about the fact that the leadership at Kagi might actually be thinking about their early users the way described in the blog post. The $20

This technology protects everyone equally, and more importantly will exist regardless of whether or not you want it to. Any regulatory attempt to kill FDE will only result in the use of more deniable systems by criminals and the mass exploi

Are there any safety concerns around 1.4GW flowing through a cable surrounded by salt water? I’m entirely uneducated in the ways of zap juice, but that sounds like a recipe for spontaneous electrocution if that cable breaks anywhere.

> Large-scale distribution is expensive and complicated Maybe centralized distribution. Bittorrent appears to be a fairly cheap and reliable method for serving content that scales nicely as more people join the swarm.

In this limited example, are there such consequences? Are people dropping NYT subscriptions because they trust chatgpt to inform them of current events? I don’t buy it.

I think the introduction of an expectation for compensation has generally brought down the quality of content online. Different people and incentives appear to get involved once content == money, vs content == creative expression.

by malwrar 3y ago
I doubt there’s much that technical controls can do to limit the spread of NYT content, their only real recourse is to try suing unauthorized distributors. You only need to copy something once for it to be free.

If anyone likes ambient music, an artist I like produced an album from recordings of marenostrum: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1EGmWY91Vus I find it oddly relaxing.

Thanks for clarifying that! I think this makes sense, I wish I had a stronger math background so that this kind of thing doesn’t trip me up as much.

Question for anyone reading the paper; what exactly is the notation in these two stages below supposed to mean? 𝑦(𝑡) = Ch(𝑡) (1b) 𝑦𝑡 = Ch𝑡 (2b) This is from the section describing state space models. The paragraphs before see…

Relying on the assumption of an “authorized client” is fundamentally not a reliable security or anti-spam mechanism, as this Beeper saga demonstrates. A curious 16 year old casually figured out how to make a client be “authorized”, and a mo

I know nothing about the actually physics, but all those polygonal, angled surfaces remind me of the chapter in Ben Rich’s skunkworks book about how a lot of the radar-defeating properties of the F-117 was due to the similar-looking geometr

For local/single-instance apps? Heck yeah, sqlite is a great choice. Just wrap all your queries behind functions in a db.py file and never think about application state until you’re forced to. SQLAlchemy is tempting, but honestly sql i

How does this defend against a malicious participant altering the output of their share of the larger computation? Even without some kind of method for e.g. producing attacker-determined network output, this system seems vulnerable to lots
