When it comes to AI art (or "art"), it's hard to find a nuanced position that respects creative workers' labor rights, free expression, copyright law's vital exceptions and limitations, and aesthetics.

@pluralistic @timoreilly @internetarchive @AuthorsAlliance So your opinion is that GPL code should be allowed to be used for training models that are used in commercial products? Can you elaborate on this from 2 perspectives?

  1. Current legal situation. Do you think the legal setting is clear and covered by fair use? Note that my complete code is scraped.
  2. Possible future legal situation that pursues the idea that you must not make money with derivatives of my work

I keep looking at rust and thinking "Gods it seems to be an awesome language"... Then I read and hear about a lot of hassels moving from C or C++ to rust and never really any massive success stories... are the massive success stories out there?

markuswerle,
@markuswerle@nrw.social avatar

@looopTools I am 100% pro #cplusplus and against the hype around #rust, but be fair, Rust has quite some success. Take e.g. #signalapp, which is written in Rust. #Firefox is going to be rewritten in it. In the command line world there are many useful and performant tools like ripgrep which are better than what we had before.

@looopTools in summary is a necessary evolution step that will reflect back on the evolution of other, older programming languages and it has some potential. I only hate the fuss people make about it and unfair claims while comparing it to outdated versions of C++. E.g. Rust lacks abstraction levels available in other PLs.

@prma @looopTools talk to me when you have written a finite element solver generator for time-stepping partial differential equations in arbitrary Lagrange-Euler formulation which uses symbolic calculation of the derivatives required für the underlying Newton-Raphson scheme - at compile time.

    Wie geil ist das denn? Der Chaos Computer Club Essen hat das Grundgesetz nicht nur bei GitHub hochgeladen, sondern so aufbereitet, dass alle Änderungen durch Git Commits dargestellt sind und die Git Kommentare alle wesentlichen Infos enthalten.

    So, I was on a long drive yesterday, and put on some pump me up music, so I didn't get sleepy. I just put something on YouTube, and I ended up in the group of music that I would call Peak Mid to Late Millenial. For perspective, I'm one of the Gappers, not quite old enough to be Gen X, but also feel too old to be a Millenial, although I suppose I technically am, just an Ancient one. ANYWAY, this music, on the surface, sounds like bubble gum pop dance music, the kind you dance in "da club" to, but as I was listening, I realized most of the lyrics had a trend that broke down basically to this:

    Get your friends together, drink heavily, have sex, party, DANCE, GO LIVE IN THE PRESENT, because we will all probably die young anyway.

    Most of these songs are probably between 10-15 years old, and honestly probably really caught onto the zeitgeist of the time. Hope didn't work, we are still caught in a shit conflict none of us want to be in. The world is actively burning, and no one in power wants to save it. We make less money than our parents and their parents, we'll probably never get to own a home, we'll probably have college debt forever, if we could even afford to go. Might as well party your life away. I do wonder if Trump was a pretty big slap in the face about how bad it could really go, because this Apocalypse attitude seems to be changing a bit, or maybe Gen Z is just rebelling against their sad grunge Gen X parents. LOL

    Either way, that was some kind of a ramble, share your thoughts on this, and listen to a peak representation of this musical phenomenon. It's kind of a banger.

    @amiserabilist @RickiTarr Millennials living through [list omitted] while completely unaware of all the trouble all generations before them went through. The number of wars never was zero, dear kids. And the #genocides are kind of a regular thing in this f*cked up world. Go, get a good history textbook, and at least read through all the ugly things which happened from 1800 until now.

    I just realised every week for the next four weeks will be four day work weeks!

    Next week has Labour Day, then there's Ascension Day the week after, then it's Constitution Day in Norway, and finally Whit Monday the fourth week.

    May is giving us a taste of the four day work week! 😊

    @sbi @veronica I have a pay cut of 25%. Now I pay less taxes. I also have one extra day off per week. I found out that my productivity is better in this scenario. I will never go back to full time (so I hope).

    @FSMaxB Bezogen auf deinen letzten Satz glaube ich, dass du wesentliche Entwicklungen von C++ nicht mitbekommen hast und das ist ein Problem der Debatte insgesamt.

    Merke: Niemals eine Programmiersprache entwickeln, die abwärtskompatibel ist.

    markuswerle,
    @markuswerle@nrw.social avatar

    @FSMaxB Dann verstehe ich den letzten Satz nicht.

    markuswerle,
    @markuswerle@nrw.social avatar

    @FSMaxB Um es mal konkret werden zu lassen: Eine leicht überprüfbare Coding Guideline wäre.

    No raw pointers. Prefer references over pointer. Use std::unique_ptr for ownership and std::shared_ptr elsewhere.

    @strandbeutel @mastobikes Amsterdam ist eine Scheißstadr, vollgestopft mit SUVs und extrem aggressiven Autofahrer*innen in der Innenstadt. Dass diese Stadt fahrradfreundlich sein soll, ist eine Legende.

    So we have it now. Rust solved a large number of the safety problems of the system language level. Not everything ofc, but still. Lot of them. And it is actually being adopted.

    So I have a question for my cybersecurity/infosec crowd.

    Have you introspected why 3 decades of yelling about that stuff got no results, 3 decades of sanitisers and fuzzers barely moved the needle, but Rust slam dunked it?

    Where is the retrospective of what went wrong? Where are the learnings?

    markuswerle,
    @markuswerle@nrw.social avatar

    @Di4na All this in a downwards compatible way. Old stuff still works, so migration is smooth.

    markuswerle,
    @markuswerle@nrw.social avatar

    @Di4na My observation is another one. The impact is huge. People from outside the C++ bubble do not perceive it, but the change is there anyway.
