Vector Graphic Store - Restoring the Artistry of World War II Posters

Why the Artists of World War II Deserve Recognition When we think of heroes from World War II, soldiers often come to mind first. However, the artists who created wartime propaganda played a crucial role too. They were responsible for shaping public opinion and maintaining morale. Their work inspired the public to support the war effort, whether by joining the military or working harder at home. These artists did more than just draw and paint. They crafted messages that persuaded people to take action. They convinced Americans to work longer hours and to conserve resources. Their art encouraged enlistment and demonized the enemy when needed. These artists were tasked with influencing the public, and they did so with remarkable success. Why This Project Matters Our new project will convert these important posters into SVG format, making them available in the highest quality for designers, educators, and historians. We’re taking public domain World War II posters and transforming them into modern, editable formats. You’ll be able to download AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, and SVG files from The Vector Graphic Store. Alongside these, we’ll also provide the original poster files. This project allows us to preserve the visual history of World War II while making it more accessible. Designers can use these files in modern projects without worrying about quality loss. Educators and historians can use them to teach future generations about the impact of art during wartime. A Tribute to the Unsung Heroes The artists of World War II aren’t celebrated enough. They weren’t on the front lines, but their work was essential to the war effort. Their art motivated millions, even when hope seemed hard to find. These artists helped ensure that the nation stayed unified and determined. They deserve a place in history alongside the soldiers, and that’s what we hope to achieve with this project. What’s Next? Over the next few months, we’ll dive deeper into the stories of these incredible artists. We’ll write about their contributions to the war effort, their creative techniques, and the lasting impact of their work. Our articles will not just highlight the posters, but the people behind them. We’ll explore how they used their art to change the course of history. At The Vector Graphic Store, we’re committed to making this project available to everyone. Every file will be free to download, with no attribution required. This is our way of honoring the artists of World War II and ensuring their legacy lives on. Conclusion: Honoring the Artistic Visionaries of World War II The artists who created wartime propaganda posters carried a heavy burden. They used their creativity to keep the public informed, motivated, and inspired. Through this project, we aim to give their work the recognition it deserves. By converting and restoring these posters, we’re not only preserving history—we’re making it accessible for everyone. This project is more than just a restoration effort; it’s a tribute to the unsung heroes who shaped history through their art. We invite you to join us on this journey, and together, we’ll honor the creative visionaries who helped win the war. Read the full article

Claude 2 released

See on Scoop.it - Design, Science and Technology

Claude.ai is pleased to announce Claude 2, their newest model, which can be accessed via API as well as a new public-facing beta website at claude.ai.

  They have been iterating to improve the underlying safety of Claude 2, so that it is more harmless and harder to prompt to produce offensive or dangerous output. The programmers have an internal red-teaming evaluation that scores our models on a large representative set of harmful prompts, using an automated test while we also regularly check the results manually. In this evaluation, Claude 2 was 2x better at giving harmless responses compared to Claude 1.3. Although no model is immune from jailbreaks, a variety of safety techniques (which you can read about here and here) have been employed, as well as extensive red-teaming, to improve its outputs.

  Claude 2 is generally available in the US and UK. Claude.ai is working to make Claude more globally available in the coming months. Interested users can now create an account and start talking to Claude in natural language, asking it for help with any tasks. Talking to an AI assistant can take some trial and error, so read up on our tips to get the most out of Claude.

  Claude.ai is also currently working with thousands of businesses who are using the Claude API. One of the partners is Jasper, a generative AI platform that enables individuals and teams to scale their content strategies. They found that Claude 2 was able to go head to head with other state of the art models for a wide variety of use cases, but has particular strength for long form low latency uses. "We are really happy to be among the first to offer Claude 2 to our customers, bringing enhanced semantics, up-to-date knowledge training, improved reasoning for complex prompts, and the ability to effortlessly remix existing content with a 3X larger context window," said Greg Larson, VP of Engineering at Jasper. "We are proud to help our customers stay ahead of the curve through partnerships like this one with Anthropic."

  Sourcegraph is a code AI platform that helps customers write, fix, and maintain code. Their coding assistant Cody uses Claude 2’s improved reasoning ability to give even more accurate answers to user queries while also passing along more codebase context with up to 100K context windows. In addition, Claude 2 was trained on more recent data, meaning it has knowledge of newer frameworks and libraries for Cody to pull from. “When it comes to AI coding, devs need fast and reliable access to context about their unique codebase and a powerful LLM with a large context window and strong general reasoning capabilities,” says Quinn Slack, CEO & Co-founder of Sourcegraph. “The slowest and most frustrating parts of the dev workflow are becoming faster and more enjoyable. Thanks to Claude 2, Cody’s helping more devs build more software that pushes the world forward.”

  The programmers at Claude.ai welcome user feedback as they work to responsibly deploy Claude more broadly. The chat experience is an open beta launch, and users should be aware that Claude – like all current models – can generate inappropriate responses. AI assistants are most useful in everyday situations, like serving to summarize or organize information, and should not be used where physical or mental health and well-being are involved. Please let the people at Claude.ai know if you would like to talk to Claude in a currently unsupported area, or if you are a business who would like to start working with Claude.

  After working for the past few months with key partners like Notion, Quora, and DuckDuckGo in a closed alpha, Claude.ai has been able to carefully test out our systems in the wild, and are ready to offer Claude more broadly so it can power crucial, cutting-edge use cases at scale.

  Claude is a next-generation AI assistant based on Anthropic’s research into training helpful, honest, and harmless AI systems. Accessible through chat interface and API in a developer console, Claude is capable of a wide variety of conversational and text processing tasks while maintaining a high degree of reliability and predictability.

Step 3: Add Repositories As an example, we’ll add Github repository to Sourcegraph. For this, you need to create a new Access Token from https://github.com/settings/tokens/new . Give the token a name and access privileges. The repo scope should be enough for Sourcegraph to access and clone the repositories on your Github account. Make sure to copy your new personal access token after creation since you won’t be able to see it again!. Once you have the Github token ID, Login to Sourcegraph Dashboard and navigate to Admin > Configuration > Add Github.com repositories. Add your token ID under the token quotes section and save the changes. Like: "token": "9bc5a980e443373b9ffd5e46e7dce3cbe863021b" After a short while, your Github repositories should appear under the Repositories section but disabled. Enable these repositories to start searching on them.

You can learn more on how to Add Repositories to Sourcegraph. Refer the Official Documentation for other Configurations and tweaks.

Not Open, Not Closed: The Future of Hybrid Licenses

Very few recollect that it, in light of the fact that the innovation business tends to concentrate on its future to the detriment of its past, yet to start with programming was free. In both faculties of the word free; it was accessible at no cost, and the source commonly came without confinements. One of the soonest client bunches SHARE, established in 1955, kept up a library, actually, of clients' patches, fixes and increments to the source code of the IBM centralized computer like a proto-GitHub. The adjustments SHARE kept up were sufficiently broad, truth be told, that in 1959 SHARE discharged its own working framework – what we would today allude to as an appropriation, the SHARE Operating System (SOS) – for IBM 709 equipment.

IBM made accessible the product at no cost and in source code frame on the grounds that for the organization around then, the product was not the item, the equipment was. It wasn't until June 1969 that IBM declared, potentially because of a hostile to trust suit recorded by the United State Justice Department in January of that year, that it would "unbundle" its product and equipment. Hypothetically this would open the equipment stage to market rivalry, however the symptom was that IBM started charging for the product it had once shared for nothing. The reaction of this symptom, ostensibly, was the production of the product business as we probably am aware it today.

In a touch of verifiable incongruity, the organization that made the product business missed by a wide margin its most lucrative market opportunity, the open door that Microsoft saw. This was the possibility that product had esteem, as well as because of equipment commoditization, the potential for much more incentive than the equipment it kept running on. As has been recorded here and somewhere else, Microsoft rode programming to exceptional statures, and in doing as such introduced another model for programming, one that was rationally at the inverse end of the range from its causes.

From its beginnings as a uninhibitedly accessible and no cost great, the new standard was to secure source code by dispersing it just in twofold shape and for benefit. The last model was prevailing for quite a long time, yet the old ways were always remembered, exactly. While SHARE's capacity to create its own particular kind of IBM's working framework may have been dispensed with, the circulated improvement display that made it conceivable inevitably advanced and propelled what today we basically call open source.

Where the exclusive model was once ascendant over something that looked a considerable measure like open source, in the present day it is open source not restrictive that is the default – in the subset that is foundation programming, at any rate.

Which is a result celebrated by millions in the innovation business, since more open source programming implies greater ability and less erosion for designers. Be that as it may, for all that the arrival of open source is respected, the industry is to some degree as yet thinking about one extremely fundamental question: where does the cash originated from?

In the good 'ol days, recall, programming was financed by equipment. Offers of the last paid for improvement of the previous. In the model that took after, programming paid for itself: programming creators made an item, and that item was showcased and sold on an independent premise. This was conceivable in extensive part since programming sellers were at no time in the future contending with free: by not making the source accessible, they guaranteed a part as the single purpose of get to. This was and is the model that creates Microsoft several billions of dollars every year for two programming resources in Office and Windows, otherwise called the two best programming items ever.

With restrictive programming influenced and offering ground to open source rivalry, be that as it may, the procedure for offering programming has turned out to be all the more difficult. It is conceivable, obviously, to adapt open source programming specifically. An assortment of systems have been attempted, from double permitting to support and administration to open center. It is wasteful and altogether less productive than offering restrictive programming was, be that as it may. Indeed, even the best in the business depended intensely on volume to compensate for the trouble in changing over clients of free programming to paid clients. MySQL, for instance, purportedly was at its pinnacle ready to change over one in a thousand clients to a paid item. Consolidated with for the most part lower edges (however Pivotal may deviate) because of expanded rivalry from other open source tasks, and it's not hard to comprehend why it's harder for business associations to concentrate income in respect to exclusive contenders. Red Hat, then, is the special case that demonstrates the run the show.

Be that as it may, if it's valid, as Cloudera's Mike Olson has stated, "you can't manufacture an effective remain solitary organization simply on open source," why open source the product by any means? For those that do, he has an answer, "You can never again win with a shut source stage."

You can't win without open source, as it were, yet you can't win with it either. How is programming going to be created then? What sort of model adjusts the expenses and advantages of both the open and restrictive models in such a form, to the point that purchaser, engineer and merchant are altogether fulfilled?

From a market point of view, the unmistakable answer is open source programming conveyed as an administration. Rather than endeavoring to offer open source programming as an independent element, you couple it with a stage and offer the two together. Consider a couple of the points of interest:

It can be hard to constrain designers or purchasers to pay for programming they can acquire for nothing. It is comprehended, by examination, that that same programming facilitated won't be free.

Gone are misalignments of client and seller needs. The conundrum of being entrusted with conveying a quality item while determining at times 100% of income from support of it, the strain between consistent conveyance and withholding components to incent updates, all are wiped out in administration organizations. In a SaaS business, you're essentially paid to run the product and convey ever better forms of it.

Engineers or the clients they work for can even now download and run a given open source extend all alone on the off chance that they pick, however progressively are compelled to deliver inquiries in the matter of whether they'll have the capacity to work it too in house as the general population who assembled it.

Not that the situation for administrations is construct entirely in light of hypothesis. The accessible market prove proposes that open source offered in an administration setting is progressively the essential decision for development. Organizations are procuring OSS-aaS (e.g. IBM with Cloudant and Compose) or creating it inside (e.g. MongoDB and Atlas), and purchasers are expending it at a quickening rate. PostgreSQL owes a lot of its current resurgence to selection by AWS, Heroku and of late, Google, while the MySQL-perfect however restrictive Aurora item is the quickest developing administration in Amazon's history.

As flawlessly as administration based open source offerings close escape clauses and disentangle client transformation, in any case, they speak to a model that can be less inviting for new businesses, especially little ones. Maintaining a SaaS business is both more costly and more difficult to oversee than simply composing and offering programming. For some business open source associations, a facilitated administration is for reasons genuine or envisioned not at present seen as a choice.

Which takes us back to licenses.

Business open source associations today confront huge difficulties. From one viewpoint, open source itself is at no time in the future seen as a hindrance to selection; on the off chance that anything, the inverse has a tendency to be valid. Be that as it may, it is troublesome for such associations to transform clients into clients, as it has dependably been, and the aggressive scene is essentially more swarmed than it has been in years past. Uncontrolled discontinuity has prompted essentially more decision arriving all the more rapidly, and new models, for example, the beforehand talked about cloud offerings are choices that didn't exist 10 years back.

It ought to maybe shock no one then that we're seeing associations look to new authorizing systems as a methods for tending to inquiries of income.

While the historical backdrop of programming income models is rich in its assortment, today most programming is precisely delegated having a place with one of two classes: open source or restrictive. Free programming supporters would likely disagree with being incorporated into the open source basin, and to be sure that superset incorporates a huge number of methodologies – a large number of which are profoundly unmistakable from each other. For our motivations here, it's sufficient to perceive that most programming is discharged under either an exclusive permit or an open source permit that meets the terms of the OSI's Open Source Definition.

On the off chance that Cockroach Labs, MariaDB or Sourcegraph have their direction, in any case, we may need to add a third class to the rundown.

This classification is not new; it gets intensely from shareware (and crippleware, trialware, and so forth) models that went before it, and comparative endeavors have been skimmed intermittently. The model is unmistakably not a customary exclusive approach, in light of the fact that the source code is made accessible. Neither would it be able to be viewed as open source, in any case, since it doesn't meet the terms of the OSI's meaning of that term. The most astounding profile cases in this class are Sourcegraph's Fair Source License (discharged March 2016), MariaDB's Business Source License (August 2016) and Cockroach's Community License (January 2017).

While these three licenses contrast in their usage points of interest, they are all basically attempting to address a similar need: adjusting the accessibility of code that describes open source with the need to adapt the product to proceed with its advancement. Which is, obviously, an organization's privilege. The individuals who compose the product get the opportunity to settle on the terms under which they make it accessible.

The question is not whether they have the privilege to utilize these neither open nor shut licenses, yet rather if it's a decent key choice. While licenses are a
