Wait til the crows and seagulls learn they can follow the drones for free food.

If you can run multiple applications, you can run multiple servers—a server is just an application with a network interface.

OpenAI Discloses 6 New Incidents of Concerning OpenAI Behavior.

Instead of directly editing the server configuration, put the commands to make the edits in a dockerfile that gets performed on a newly-installed container.

Apple said his office received a tip Friday from an outside source that Moore was using a Flock camera to track a former acquaintance, and an internal investigation began immediately.

I wonder who the outside source was. Was it someone at Flock, or another third party able to monitor law enforcement searches? Or was Moore bragging to her friends about illegally stalking her ex?

several sound-responsive structures could be built into a single flexible device, with each one reacting to a different sound frequency. “This would allow specific parts of the device to move, bend or vibrate, potentially leading to aerodynamic robotic devices that can change shape in response to sound,” he says.

I’m picturing Yondu’s whistle-powered dart.

Conversation logs between the lab and Luna show that the agent had created an attendance policy but later lost track of it, allowing the employee’s lateness to continue for months.

Sounds like Luna should look into firing itself.

It’s just a list of their customers.

Say someone else takes the visual result of the font’s output and re-posts it as plain text.

If anyone searches for that text, their version will come up as the first (and only) published version. Anyone who tries to reference it will cite their version instead of yours. You’d have to convince the court that a clearly different text you published earlier is really the same thing, as long as you view it with a special font that magically transforms it into the text you’re trying to claim—the judge would just as likely think you’re a copyright troll.

If the underlying text says one thing but the font makes it appear to say something else, which version does the author own the copyright to?

The Dane County Sheriff’s Department got the wrong man. I got the right man. The wrong one was delivered to me as the right man, I accepted him on good faith as the right man. Was I wrong?

Reminds me of Judge Holden in Blood Meridian, who sketched ancient artifacts in his personal notebook and then destroyed the originals.

Or Salma Hayek.

If they make a sequel movie based on her current activities, who will they cast to play Julia Roberts in the in-universe version of the film based on the first movie?

The article quotes a post from ISBNdb saying the issue is model collapse from training on synthetic data.

Since Ben Garrison is the one human whose output most closely resembles AI, I imagine this is him having an existential crisis.

Maybe search for highest-altitude reservoirs instead of dams?

It should be considered a universal law of corporate behavior: any information that has theoretical value will eventually be sold.

Even if current management has no intention of exploiting it, they’ll be replaced by the board, or the division and its data will be spun off and sold for its IP—that’s just corporate nature (i.e., the purpose of a system is what it does).

Mark Zuckerberg, probably.

There’s no objective measure for quantifying similarity. We can measure relative similarity, though—but that scale will vary depending on what it’s relative to.

We could measure genetic similarity relative to a typical unrelated person, or relative to the nearest non-human animal, or relative to the most distantly-related living organism, or relative to random noise. (And you can do the same for facial similarity.)
