Not sure what you're trying to say here. DMCA takedown enforcement is 100% the responsibility of the Online Service Providers per statute. It's the mechanism by which they receive safe harbor from liability for hosting infringing content.
I think you may be astonished to realize a (the?) majority of DMCA takedowns are neither checked nor legitimate...
You can post your thoughts, feelings, and opinions on google blog, and I can submit a DMCA and google is required to take down your thoughts feelings and opinions immediately without verification.
Yes, but Microsoft/Github do not make any determination about the validity of the claim.
Once a valid (from a process perspective) claim is submitted, the provider is required to take the claimed content down for 10 days. From there the counter claim and court processes can go back and forth.
Waking up to the fact that the largest corporations in the world are stealing off everyday people to sell a subscription to their theft driven service?
It makes sense when you consider that every part of this gimmick is rationalist brained.
The Village is backed by Effective Altruist-aligned nonprofits which trace their lineage back to CFEA and the interwoven mess of SF's x-risk and """alignment""" cults. These have big pockets and big influence. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46389950)
As expected, the terminally online tpot cultists are already flaming Simon to push the LLM consciousness narrative:
Apologies for replying to myself, I am fumbling in my ignorance here, and genuinely curious if anyone could share any other valuable/interesting things from this "movement." In all other cases of people calling themselves "rationalists," it has been a huge yellow flag for me, as a fallibilist. :~]
I guess Dwarkesh Patel is part of that community? Well, his interviews are quite interesting, at least in the sense of seeing into a world that I otherwise don't see regarding AI researchers, and his questions are often quite good. Also, after interviewing many leading researchers and being on the hype train, he eventually did say a few months ago ~"yeah, the 'fast take-off' is not upon us," after trying to use leading tools to make his own podcast. That's intellectual honesty that is greatly missing in this world. So, there is that? I am also a huge fan of his Sara Paine pieces, at least on her part.
Is there anything else intellectually honest and interesting coming out of that group?
I was mildly interested in the movement but found it weird as well. Some causes seem good (eg fighting malaria), others like Super AIs just seem like geeks doing mental gymnastics over sci fi topics.
I have had a similar experience. I think one big problem is that EA often uses a low discount rate, meaning they treat theoretical people who won't be born for a century with similar value as people who are alive today. In theory that's defensible, but in reality it means you can hand wave at any large scale issue and come up with massive numbers of lives saved.
My church has a shower ministry, where we open up our showers to people without homes so they can clean up. We also provide clothes and personal supplies. That's just about the opposite of what EA would say we should do, but we can count exactly how many showers we provide and supplies we distribute and how those numbers are trending. Shouting "AI and asteroids!" is more EA, but it eventually devolves into the behavior you describe.
Have they come out and said what personal data they are selling yet? They were awfully guarded about what they were selling and to who.
I guess we shouldn't worry though, just some random law thought that what they were doing was "selling personal data" but we shouldn't think that it was. No further explanation required.
The current supercomputer was AUD 50m [1] and HP seems to have won a few expansion and other contracts for another AUD 50 - 70 million for the next few years. Which are all reasonable.
But it seems like the budget for the software was anything else than reasonable and has crazy budget overruns...
My god is that a dumb slide deck. With that many graph you can expect some of them to be duds but more than half of them in the first 20 pages are just meaningless.
I was just thinking about how to slice up a star map projection, and apply it as an overlay. I don’t do such things often enough to do it quickly, although I can imagine how it could be achieved. I’d imagine someone working in game dev probably could whip up a mechanism for applying coordinates to a star map fairly quickly, but realizing it in pure CSS would probably require exporting all the slices to a folder as SVG squares that are labeled with coordinates, and then using a bit of JS to stitch it all together in the rendered page.
I wrote a simple web-based night sky viewer a while ago [1], which renders the 750 brightest stars from coordinates in a data file (along with the moon). It uses D3.js to do fully client-side SVG-based rendering for interactive use, but it could be simplified to render server side to an SVG file. I think the main complication is that by adding stars, a projection needs to be decided on, and you'd need to consider the aspect ratio of the browser window.
Suggestion for the author, I don't think there are any outdoor places where the sky is black. I don't know that gray would be any better. Stars? Some night clouds? or maybe even still a gradient?
