Yea, I think I mentioned that.

The difference between the lottery factor and your bus factor makes a decent proxy for how much people like working there. If someone has a lottery factor equal total their bus factor, then you expect them to say “screw you” when asked for

Check out onshape.com (you can create a free account) or fusion360. Both have free tiers, and both have tutorials that will teach you the basics of cad.

Their api is slightly different. That is an api into their own index, but their search results are a combination of those results as well as a bunch of outside search results from places like google etc.

Alternatively, you don’t “prove” things in biology, you just provide evidence for them. Proof implies a level of certainty that doesn’t exist in biology.

Did you finish the article? The author brought up that point, with the caveat that they couldn’t think of a better term.

Because there is an endless amount of human time spent like this, but we all have limited attention for other things. If you try to appeal to someone’s better parts, then there is a limit to the amount of attention that they can apply to yo

This is a key point. If you look at people, each of them have multiple different “personas” throughout the day/week/etc.[0] Some of them, sometimes, are builders or content creators. Some of them, sometimes, are conscientious cons

Yes, you are correct, I was being flippant. But I think the greater point still stands. In order to call the model itself a copyright violation you would have to say it is "substantially similar" to thousands of original works.
228.
by spott 3y ago
Yes, but I believe there are two questions here: * Does the model itself violate copyright? * Does the output of the model violate copyright? I don't know how you could make an argument that the ingestion of information into a model th

Interesting! I’ll have to look into that.

Interesting, though I think I would put those examples under a “will emit copyrighted code if prompted to”. I can’t think of a compelling reason someone would prompt for a sparse matrix function with a “cs_” unless they were searching for

You probably aren’t using an LLM for your text embeddings for document retrieval (they don’t perform as well as specialist embedding models[0]), and even if they did, you have an embedding about a bare document, without any context of what

As I see it (from largely an outsider perspective), there are two difficulties with embedded software: 1) a large sensitivity to performance, to the point where higher level languages are difficult to justify the overhead. And 2) it is gene

To be fair… semantic similarity isn’t the same as relevance either. They are related, and we frequently assume they are close enough that it doesn’t matter, but they are different.

The problem with this line of thinking is that a person can also cut and paste code that they don’t have a license to use… but until they do, they haven’t done anything wrong by reading the code. So either we carve out an explicit excepti

I think this is basically the same as the sentiment that there is no such thing as a truly novel idea. The standard isn’t “I think that looks like an Andy Warhol picture”, it is “That is substantially similar to a specific Andy Warhol pie

True, though I’m not sure this risk isn’t overblown. I’ve heard of a couple cases where someone got a copyright statement spit out, but I haven’t been able to find much more than the one or two that I’ve seen on hn. If you have more examp

Rye is a wrapper around pip-tools and hatchling. So it should be fine as long as those are fine. Hatchling doesn’t seem to currently allow c extensions.
