Sarah Silverman is suing OpenAI and Meta for copyright infringement
  • Interested to see how this plays out! Their argument that the only way a LLM could summarize their book is by ingesting the full copyrighted work seems a bit suspect, as it could've ingested plenty of reviews and summaries written by humans and combined that information.

    I'm not confident that they'll be able to prove OpenAI or Meta infringed copyright, just as i'm not confident they'll be able to prove that they didn't violate copyright. I don't know if anyone really knows what these things are trained on.

    We got to where we are now with fair use in search and online commentary because of a ton of lawsuits setting precedent, not surprising we'll have to do the same with machine learning.

  • How did you feel at first with your new pronouns and gender markers?
  • My new name/pronouns felt really foreign to me for a long time honestly. I used they/them for a while until i felt "femme enough" for she/her (whatever that means) and these days i'm they/she.

    It just took some time for that to go away. Other people gendering you properly can help reinforce that it's correct.

  • My Experience Switching From NVIDIA To AMD
  • I had a 5700xt prior to my current 3060 and I’m very tempted to switch back so I can get rid of nvidia’s drivers, getting Wayland functional has been a disaster for me.

    I just switched them like a couple weeks ago to give macOS another go, so I’m just being lazy 😅

  • Marital Issues
  • Ugh, I bet that quick whiplash of real support to rejection and denial was really hard. I’m not really sure what’s going on there — AMAB people dressing more feminine is always seen so negatively even by people who purport to be progressive.

    A music festival is such a good environment for experimenting with your presentation! Maybe try to make time for that alone if you can?

    It’s such a bummer you can’t get in any counseling. I also couldn’t find anyone who took my insurance so I pay out of pocket for it ($85/visit) which sucks.

  • Marital Issues
  • I'm really sorry your wife rejected you like that, that pain will likely stick around for some time. Coming out as nonbinary in a marriage is really tough, my partner actually did not too long ago.

    I'm a trans woman, and there were still challenges for me. In theory I should be the most accepting partner and immediately be able to change my brain around, but I found myself confused - having to process things in ways I didn't anticipate.

    Your partner's brain is probably going crazy right now trying to process your identity, what that means for her identity and you as a couple, then resetting the expectations she had for your collective future. Not to mention processing the potential optics of being perceived as being in a queer relationship in today's climate. That's a lot!

    How she spoke to you was how she felt in that moment, but doesn't have to be how she feels forever. If you have the patience and pain tolerance for that process, it's very possible things will work out.

    What's harder to actually make work is suppressing your identity for the sake of someone you love. It can feel like noble sacrifice, but you're really not doing either of you a favor long-term. You'll both feel the facade, but feel dedicated to it and be miserable.

    I suppose if I had advice, it'd be to remember that how you both feel in this moment can and will change, and doesn't have to mean anything big about your relationship unless you want it to. I know I can feel a panic to process and try to repair things, when time and space is actually what's needed.

    Oh, and try to find a decent relationship counselor if you're both down - though the process of finding someone is certainly discouraging.

    I really hope the best for you.

  • Apple scaling back Vision Pro production plans
  • The original intention was for there to be a second, wireless compute device. Jony Ive ended up vetoing that before he left Apple. I would’ve loved to see what the headset would’ve been in that form.

  • Breaking: NHTSA Petition Claims Tesla Sudden Unintended Acceleration Is Real (but Fixable)
  • Right, the brownout in the electrical system isn't ideal, but the unintended acceleration seems to be caused by the ADC attempting calibration when the voltage is near-zero. I have to wonder if there's work that could be done in firmware on the inverter side or on the ADC side to detect and not re-calibrate during those conditions. The PDF specifically calls this out as a potential recall solution.

    It wouldn't solve the underlying electrical flaw, but could solve the bad signals getting generated and killing people. It's also possible this flaw causes issues in other systems that haven't been discovered yet. Much research to be done, I suppose.

    I'd love a new inverter that doesn't do this, but that seems... unlikely. Let me wish it's easy to solve :P
