Was it? It wasn’t mentioned in the article and I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before.

“Ulbricht was found guilty of charges including conspiracy to commit drug trafficking, money laundering and computer hacking.”

I have renewed my CA registration with a credit card going back to at least 2016. A responsible driver would know their renewal failed when their registration document did not arrive via mail.

“No photos or videos of the attack have been released or circulated on social media. US Central Command (CENTCOM) has not claimed responsibility for the attack.”

We also have a Lemmy instance!

Sounds a lot like railroads to me.

Having moved server racks, copiers and other equipment from site to site, I am thankful for my (light) truck. Cargo vans are more popular in IT since they protect from rain and sun but a flatbed is certainly better than trying to put heavy, sharp-cornered things on fabric or leather in the back of a passenger car nearly the same size as my (light) pickup.

I would like to think the community could work out the API’s and replicate them on a free server, but if this was just a glorified Alexa box, there is probably a lot more server-side processing that needs to happen to keep it running.

Sure - that’s why people are resorting to stealing butter from grocery stores. Positively thriving.

I support this law (fuck cars), but if you step into the street thinking an oncoming car won’t destroy you like a pinata stuffed with ketchup packets, you have survived the luckiest lawsuit-free 28 years.

Pretty cool. I wonder if this could be scaled up to a more life-sized print? Maybe go-kart sized???

The STL files are $27 - not free, but I’m sure the designer put a ton of hours into this.

And this behavior is somehow sold to the public as a way to boost the economic wellness of the people living under the isolationist programs, but instead it enables profiteering corporations to exert more control over the artificially narrowed market space.

Locking the door with the fox(es) in the henhouse.

What’s the difference between one technology you don’t understand (AI engine-assisted ) and another you don’t understand (human-staffed radiology laboratory)?

Regardless of whether you (as a patient hopelessly unskilled in diagnosis of any condition) trust the method, you probably have some level of faith in the provider who has selected it. And, while they most likely will choose what is most beneficial to them (cost of providing accurate diagnoses vs. cost of providing less accurate diagnoses), hopefully regulatory oversight and public influence will force them to use whichever is most effective, AI or not.

They could have gone with a “visor” frame design that would have been more fashionable, but I think this is pretty impressive for demonstrating the bare minimum amount of plastic needed to house holographic transparent displays, internal/external tracking sensors, and a sound system.

What they claim these glasses can do is absolutely incredible (we won’t really know because they are only being used internally for further development).

There’s a place for this, if it’s entertaining. Memes, comedy, maybe some more legitimate uses too. A lot of YouTube is some guy just sitting in front of a camera in the most boring perfectly curated home office. Throw in something visually interesting that enhances the subject matter and I may watch more.

This would ideally become standardized among web servers with an option to easily block various automated aggregators.

Regardless, all of us combined are a grain of rice compared to the real meat and potatoes AI trains on - social media, public image storage, copyrighted media, etc. All those sites with extensive privacy policies who are signing contracts to permit their content for training.

Without laws (and I’m not sure I support anything in this regard yet), I do not see AI progress slowing. Clearly inbreeding AI models has a similar effect as in nature. Fortunately there is enough original digital content out there that this does not need to happen.

If it doesn’t offer value to us, we are unlikely to nurture it. Thus, it will not survive.

I don’t want to get in the way of your argument re. Usenet, but spinning hard drives will last longer if they stay on. Starting and stopping the spindle motor will impart the greatest wear. As long as you have the thermals managed, a spinning disk is a happy disk.

Just curious if you had a reference for this statement since it seems to be false in multiple ways.

This also works for binary cable or interface connectors formerly known as “male” and “female”.

I want Ars content to be part of whatever training data is provided to the best models. How does that get done without appearing like they are being bought?

Even if their contract explicitly states that it is a data sharing agreement only and the products of the media organization (articles/investigations) are not grounds for breach or retaliation, it is assumed that there is now some impartiality in future reporting.

So, for all media companies, the options seem to be:

1. Contribute to the greater good by openly permitting site scraping (for $0)
2. Allow data sharing to contracted parties only (for a fee)
3. Public or privately prohibit use of any data, and then seek damages down the road for theft/copyright infringement when the legal framework has been established.

Is there a GPL or other license structure that permits data sharing for LLM training in a way that it does not get transformed into something evil?
