The time is ripe for deterministic AI; incidentally, this was also released today: https://itsid.cloud/ - presumably will be useful for anyone who wants to quickly recreate an open source Python package or other copyrighted work to change its license.
Can you please explain the use here? I tried the demo, and cat, cp, echo, etc... seem to do the exact same thing without the cost.
Their demo even says:
`Paste any code or text below. Our model will produce an AI-generated, byte-for-byte identical output.`
Unless this is a parody site can you explain what I am missing here?
Token echoing isn't even to the lexeme/pattern level, and not even close to WSD, Ogden's Lemma, symbol-grounding etc...
The intentionally 'Probably approximately complete' statistical learning model work, fundamentally limits reproducibility for PAC/Stastical methods like transformers.
CFG inherently ambiguity == post correspondence problem == halt == open domain frame-problem == system identification problem == symbol-grounding problem == entscheidungsproblem
The only way to get around that is to construct a grammar that isn't. It will never exist for CFGs, programs, types, etc... with arbitrary input.
I just don't see why placing a `14-billion parameter identity transformer` that just basically echos tokens is a step forward on what makes the problem hard.
Tech world became so wild even in a topic that I’m confident I cannot say if something is real or satire. Amount of real but absolutely idiotic landing pages made me this way :)
Would you be able to comment on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47522876, i.e. explain the legal basis for this change for EU based users? If there is none, you may have to expect that people will exercise their right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Why would you expect an engineer to be able to comment on legal affairs? Presumably it was cleared with Microsoft's legal department or whatever GitHub's divisional equivalent is.
That's precisely what the term 'engineer' signifies. (I know it gets used incorrectly for software developers.) Workers in general need to decide whether something is legal independently of their company, because the company lawyers have the interest of the company in mind, which might conflict with the workers interest to not do illegal things.
Big Tech is known for clearing illegal things by their legal departments all the time.
What is the legal basis of this in the EU? Ignoring the fact they could end up stealing IP, it seems like the collected information could easily contain PII, and consent would have to be
> freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. In order to obtain freely given consent, it must be given on a voluntary basis.
It breaks GDPR easily: GDPR enforces you to comply with opt-out by default, no workaround by prefilling before hitting submit.
While some think this applies only to personal data, then yes. But it takes only one line of code to use my phone number for testing while I test locally a register form in the application I'm developing.
Once it gets sent to Copilot I can threaten with legal action if they are not taking it down.
Has there ever been a GDPR fine that actually exhausted all applicable legal challenges within a sufficiently short delay from initial violation to actually matter?
Short delay: depends on your DPA, I doubt any country is fast enough. On the other hand, this is the legitimate interest of GitHub, so it would require investigation, maybe even litigation.
I'm probably out of the loop, but last I checked, to put an app somewhere that's not the official App Store, they required you to pay their hefty fee for putting it in the App Store (even if you weren't going to do that), _and_ an additional Core Technology Fee.
(And if that's still accurate, one thing I don't get is how that isn't also anti-competitive.)
The workaround for me is to always resize by clicking Alt, right click, and drag. At the end of the day, that's probably just straight up easier, since you never need to bother getting close to the borders of the windows.
I just learned that you can use Super + Left Mouse to drag windows around and Super + Right Mouse to resize, due to this discussion.
I have been using XFCE forever, mostly using hotkeys for tilling, and just did not know :D
Yes, it is best to use Meta/Windows key for system related actions (copy/paste, screenshot, application start, various windowing actions), and let Ctrl and Alt be used by the applications.
One thing it should mean is that anyone using Cloudflare is doing so while risking that its CEO suddenly pulls the rug and closes down the service; not a dependency you want in your stack, and not a great look for a service that's supposed to be usable as a stable high-availability one.
> just said "no go ahead, keep building"? What happens to the companies if they just keep building?
As the article also touches upon, this already happened in the particular case of Revolution Wind: There, work, was forced to stop in August, then in September a federal judge blocked enforcement of the block, and work continued:
