  • Immigration judges aren't judicial judges, they are what are called administrative judges and do fall under the executive branch. That said, there is a lot of administrative law and procedure that is certainly still getting fucked by Trump/maga.

  • Diffusion models iteratively convert noise across a space into forms and that's what they are trained to do. In contrast to, say, a GPT that basically performs a recursive token prediction in sequence. They're just totally different models, both in structure and mode of operation. Diffusion models are actually pretty incredible imo and I think we're just beginning to scratch the surface of their power. A very fundamental part of most modes of cognition is converting the noise of unstructured multimodal signal data into something with form and intention, so being able to do this with a model, even if only in very very narrow domains right now, is a pretty massive leap forward.

  • A quick search turns up that alpha fold 3, what they are using for this, is a diffusion architecture, not a transformer. It works more the image generators than the GPT text generators. It isn't really the same as "the LLMs".

  • Probable cause for ICE means a real and reasonable apprehension that if they don't make the arrest then, the individual is likely to flee were they to seek a judicial order or warrant. This is literally impossible to have in premeditated raids. The very act of planning and premeditation necessarily means they had time to seek a warrant before arrest. This person is full of shit and fully deserves to be "litigated in the streets." May they suffer the lack of peace they deserve.

  • I think this would actually trigger real rioting and violence. And that would give the Trump the veneer of legality he needs for Republican support to enact martial law. And that would trigger more rioting and violence spreading beyond NY. It would be a catastrophically stupid move on Trump's part. So probably by end of the month.

  • We have seen authoritarian communism that regressed into autocratic nationalist imperialist communism. We have also seen authoritarian communism that has shifted into state capitalism. Just like there are many variations of capitalism that we have and have not seen, there are likewise many of socialism and even communism that we have and have not seen.

  • Do you understand that even just in the category of communism, there is an enormous gamut of different approaches, of which you only seem to understand a very specific one? You understand that the bolshevicks, even under Lenin, murdered the "competing" communist groups, effectively regressing right back to authoritarianism and what would inevitably degrade into Stalinist autocracy? And so that even the, mischaracterizing, claim that "communism" went bad is basically nonsensical?

  • God, why is the games industry so fucking illiterate when it comes to IP law. File a trademark opposition? They're suing! File a patent application without issued claims or even substantive examination? They've patented it! These aren't crazy fucking complicated concepts, but the journalism for games industries like actively stunts the understanding of these things by the market.

  • It probably uses a GPT of some sort at this point, tbh. There is no reason whatsoever using Google's ML translation or ChatGPT's ML translation should make any bit of difference to people who are actually upset over this if they have given any thought whatsoever to their concerns.

  • There are two different thoughts on how how to do this. Restructure federal tax so that it is paid to the state along with your state income and then the state simply withholds from the fed. The other is that states simply refuse to enforce any sort of federal collection or enforcement of unpaid taxes.

  • It isn't quite what you've italicized, but make no mistake that's it's still a terrible precedent to set. Preliminary injunctions can still be granted by district courts, but now they need to be brought in the form of a class action and all the tediousness that entails. ACLU thankfully had one ready to go it seems just in case of this and it's been filed already.

    Nevertheless, this also enables insane infringement of the first amendment. There is nothing stopping him from declaring membership of a particular political party is illegal, including state parties, and then requiring each state to independently challenge under a restricted class action. It's ludicrous.

  • You are agreeing with the post you responded to. This ruling is only about training a model on legally obtained training data. It does not say it is ok to pirate works--if you pirate a work, no matter what you do with the infringing copy you've made, you've committed copyright infringement. It does not talk about model outputs, which is a very nuanced issue and likely to fall along similar analyses as music copyright imo. It only talks about whether training a model is intrinsically an infringement of copyright. And it isn't because anything else is insane and be functionally impossible to differentiate from learning a writing technique by reading a book you bought from an author. Even a model that has overfit training data, it is in no way recognizable to any particular training datum. It's hyperdimensioned matrix of numbers defining relationships between features and relationships between relationships.
