No, effort is explicitly not a factor in copyright. It was at one point, but "sweat of the brow" doctrine went away in Feist Publications in 1991, at least in the US.
Copyright protects "authorship", not functionality. Patent protects functional elements. A rewrite based on functional equivalency is not infringing on the copyright as long as no creative expression was copied. That…
I think your example highlights one of the places where even the current level of AI can be helpful and enabling, rather than a competitor for jobs, which is helping a person learn something new. Not always in all…
Serious answer to the base question: learn as much as you can about how it all works, learn how to use it in its current state, keep up as it changes, be prepared for sudden leaps in the technology. Do not underestimate…
Use Forth to create Lisp, implement Tcl in Lisp, then create Smalltalk using Tcl, then build Forth in Smalltalk. But wait, I'm just getting started!
Don't optimize the language to fit the tokens, optimize the tokens to fit the language. Tokenization is just a means to compress the text, use a lot of code in target languages to determine the tokenizing, then do the…
There are problems with either approach, because an LLM is not really thinking. Always starting over and trying to get it all into one single prompt can be much more work, with no better results than iteratively…
I just selected some of the text and my browser told me what they meant along with some background and some links for more information. The "one ine itabilism" actually found this conversation as a reference ...
No, you can do a UBI that keeps the money supply the same, and use it as a way to stabilize the economy. With a $2000/mo UBI, 50% flat tax on other income, 25% VAT, phase it in by doing 10% of that the first year (and…
Implement UBI as part of fixing taxes. A UBI combined with a flat tax plus a national sales tax, and including universal healthcare, can continue to be a progressive tax while eliminating a lot of the overhead of…
