As a gamedev, those slowdowns are common. Ui rendering, due to transparency, layering and having to redraw things, and especially from triggering allocations, can be a real killer. Comparing old vs new before allowing it to redraw is really helpful. I found layers and transparency was a killer in css as well in one project, but that was more about reducing layers there

The article isn’t very substantive. What is typical of similar organizations? What exactly is a foundation? Are there any important benefits to not having members for its mission? How is the board chosen? The article describes none of this

Can anyone comment on how effectively privacy is preserved with this approach?

5S is more about organizing your workspace, but this article is about organizing your work product. And it doesn’t say anything that isn’t standard dev practice, it just organizes the items under a strained 5S umbrella. Imho

What do you mean by background in apis? You mean experience working with them?

Nobody is hiring armies of workers just so those workers can “scrape out a living.” Companies cut jobs, they rarely create them for charity

I don’t care if it’s expensive or difficult. If somebody wants copyrighted content to train an ai, buy the rights to it before creating these derivative works based on it

I think the bigger issue is trust. The chat it is no longer trying to return objective information. “OpenAI” is letting companies pay to have it promote their content—is that accurate?

Apply that to other situations though. Those sorts of books are ordinary. If you used that sort of profiling after the fact on everyone, you could make anyone look suspicious or untrustworthy

Witch hunters during the inquisition literally used to do this sort of thing to help condemn people

People shouldn’t be profiled based on what they watch or read. Are we going so say that couldn’t video games are evidence that somebody is going to go commit violence next? What if you’re into spy movies? Crime documentaries? Weird reality tv shows?

I read all kinds of non fiction things I won’t even list here but I seem to be a perfectly boring member of society. It’s just interesting subject matter
