I would suggest finding a law professor who writes about open source and asking them if they recommend any casebooks (voluminous textbook full of long excerpts from judicial opinions) or hornbooks (more succinct summaries of an area of law, like textbooks in other fields of study) on open source and/or software copyright generally.

To really get the issues discussed in this sub-thread and at issue in the SFC/Vizio case, you would want to know about contract remedies, privity of contract, third party beneficiaries, license agreements as a special species of contract, standing, and maybe some other areas too. But I think software engineers are actually well suited to understanding law, especially if they also have an innate interest in political/moral philosophical questions.

technology once invented is not going back

you can't demand some technology not to be used when it is not a weapon

there isn't a reason to believe that our current world is in a stage that is free from changes, in fact our world become what it is due to invention of disruptive technologies, regardless you like it or not.
I doubt that this is where we are at today. We have higher fidelity transmission compared to a joint-stereo 128kbps mp3, which was probably already enough to carry imperceptible watermarks.
>Your D&I consultant is saying this because those words make certain demographics less likely to apply.

Yes, I know very well what the alleged rationale is for this toxicity. But can you spend more than half a second actually thinking critically about the implications of such policy? Let me put it this way: if a person is so sensitive as to be unable to handle a job posting listing objectively desirable traits and behaviors like "leadership", "competitive", "analysis", "objective", etc, then I would question their ability to function as part of a competent team, or even as an adult. The implication is that women are so fragile that they need to be protected from words otherwise representing totally desirable traits in a team member.

We can't find a female senior python engineer because there are almost none in the pipeline, not because our job postings are "gendered". Of course these D&I grifters would be out of a paycheck if they admitted as much. But the gaslighting and forced discrimination is absolutely infuriating and totally demoralizing.
I hope this tool isn't going to be wielded politically but knowing SV I assume this tool will trend towards helping people optimize speech for political correctness/equity/inclusiveness/etc.
Apple “cares about the web” and wants people to use the web because Google pays them $12 billion+ a year to be the default search engine.

Most of the money Apple gets from the App Store is from pay to win games - north of 80%. It came out in the Epic Trial.

Apple doesn’t really care if your banking app is a website or an app. They don’t make money either way.

Most apps on the App Store that could be a web app don’t charge users.
It's an equal deflection from the main point that adds very little to the discussion. You could have equally said "The war is an unjustified aggression BUT the USA has been doing that for a long time too so..." and the message would have been the same. You just phrased it differently.
I'll stick to my "sprawled out" city where we couldn't build tall even if we wanted to simply because the land does not allow it. I can get anywhere in the city in less than 10 minutes and have access to plenty of creature comforts.

Sprawl is only bad in big cities. In a city of 250k, it's not really a big deal.
> I don't feel confident with Google deciding what words are the correct words.

Personally, even if they could accurately decide what are the "correct" word in some sense, it didn't make it less dystopian for me. I would rather make my own mistakes, be wrong, and have some regrets rather than having to put up with the constant holier-than-thou browbeating and woke-scolding.
Would be truly a sight to behold.

As another comment mentioned, Google scale makes things very complex; a non incidental (i.e. English) global language might be very welcome in certain groups, but it being de facto requires, as you said, of a governing body that can regulate and enforce that.

At least in Spanish, there is such a body, the RAE (Real Academia Española, The Royal Spanish Academy), which decrees "unanimously" which words and phrases are canonical Spanish and which not, including regulating regionalisms found across every Spanish speaking country. As you might expect, outside a certain... circle, the RAE is a laughingstock.

The idea that a single entity could rule the way people communicate at that level of granularity, so insidiously, from the perspective of a layman looks unprecedented and unfathomable, that is, until you present them with a taste of the modern scale at which mega corporations operate.

So, consider for a minute an organization like the RAE having Google scale and Google reach. Would something like that mean the starting point of a (very) slippery slope, a snowball rolling down, powered by the pockets of the wealthy and the might of the policymakers? A future where the principles governing the cryptocurrency world will end up driving global policy?

I mention cryptocurrencies because one of their most prominent characteristics is that "Code is Law". As i see it, it's the inexorable outcome resulting from the underlying technological platform, its limitations and its philosophies, not something intended but more of an emergent property exposing the fundamental tradeoffs required to automatically run strict policies at a scale that large.

What would it take then for public policy to go the same route? For a hypothetical evil group of policymakers in awe of the success of Google et al exerting such outsized influence, to take over the same path, and to transform actual, fiscal law into an unwieldy paradigm, a sort of "Law is Code is Law".

We already see glimpses of it when there are leaks and whistleblowers illuminate us about the dark operations of the governments using megacorps to influence the public, but how far would success with this sort of policies with "innocent" subjects like grammar would bring them closer to applying it to the whole cake?

Would be truly a sight to behold.
Twitter Moderation Is Biased Against Misinformation, Not Conservatives
I break it down on authoritarian lines. Left, right, indie are a separate thing.

Authoritarians do these things most often:

Brigade, mass report, preemptive blocks, use of lists.

Malicious Compliance and or using, gaming rules to get other people into problem positions.

Tribe vs tribe, guilty by association, and or forcing others into false choice scenarios.

Mixing authoritarianism with political alignment complicates things unnecessarily in my view. There can be poor quality people favoring any ideology, and or multiple ones, same as there can be better quality people.

I urge you to give it some thought. You may find it helps to understand others better.
If you have a bit of background in math, I would encourage you to read the CLIP paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.00020

Ultimately, the link between words and their representations comes from the CLIP training. The model generates encodings (vectors) for both an image and its corresponding caption, and then the parameters of these encoders (the functions that generate the vectors) are tuned in order to minimize the angle between the textual and visual encodings that represent the same concept.

The core of your question is why minimizing the angle between like vectors is equivalent to learning what the "Platonic ideal" of a given object (in your example, a bowl) is, whether appearing as a textual representation or a visual one. This question is subtle and difficult to answer (if it's even a well-formulated question), but I'd say that the easiest interpretation is that the vector space is composed of a basis of vectors that each represent a distinct feature (which the model learns).
This is what a imagine late stage security after OS mature there stacks and such. The advent/widespread use of robost memory protections like PAC and Cheri are going to be so depressing for those on the offensive.

I wish I just had more time to do math like the OP but the saturation of the field especially with people who can deeply understand the abstraction is very very intimidating.
I'm sure they will add controls to select which "english" to use just like Grammarly and others. You can then submit correction to colloquialisms if they come up.
As an aside, I think login to, but it’s weird. It can be separate, joined to ‘log’ as in login or in some contexts with ‘to’ as in into. Perhaps it should just be ‘loginto’?
The world doesn't revolve around English.

> commonly used and not considered non-inclusive by any Australian I know

That argument has been used to defend all sorts of terms, some worse than others. The example you choose "guys" as gender neutral is also common in US english. But being common does not mean it is correct (racial and homophobic slurs were also common for a long time).

- Group of women === "girls"

- Group of men === "guys"

- Group of women with one guy === "guys"

- Group of men with one girl === "guys"

The "guys" as gender neutral is clearly the result of patriarical society. But does that make the word _harmful_? Hard to say. I lean towards "no". But I'm not in the adversely selected group.

>hijacking people's personal brands to collect money without their explicit knowledge is a bad thing.

Brave gave users BAT to tip content creators. They tipped it, if it wasn't claimed in 90d, Brave returned the BAT to the pool. There was no collecting money. It was Brave's promotional BAT and it never actually left Brave's possession unless claimed.

The issue was that it wasn't clear if the creator had or hadn't signed up. Which was fixed within 48h.
Tutanota.
Spelling errors usually have an objective fix and are isolated to a single word. Warning about an improper word depends on the surrounding context and is highly subjective. The latter case requires a great deal more cognitive load to deal with and I think it will be much more distracting.

Assuming your question is in good-faith, here's likely where the list came from:

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with this, but this will help explain it. (I will note that the paper often uses the word "analyze" itself, for what it's worth.)
That can be offensive to include they/them without knowing their situation. Keep it neutral use singular non gendered pronouns.
See the link in my post. The claim is that women are discouraged from applying. Frankly it's bullshit.
The follow up experiment on the goats showed an unexplained weight gain and subsequent return to normal.

All my comment was meant to show was that there are things that happen that we have no proven explaination for. The world is still full of unexplained, and even uninvestigated, stuff. It would be interesting to hear the real reason for the weight changes after death (in goats). It may not be about the soul or whatever, but maybe we will learn something new about the physical world.

> Good catch, though any decent health insurance you can get on your own would be quite a lot higher than $7.5k/year.

I mean, my salary contribution to paying the company-sponsored health plan is ~$2K/month, so 14K/year. That's with my employer paying the other ~half of the cost!

Health insurance in the USA is brutal.
yeah , foreign conflicts are not uncommon, the market historically does fine

Why should I use this instead of appwrite or firebase?
That's not how this stuff works, at all. Once something becomes an automated suggestion, see Slack bots gently suggesting you don't use a certain expression ad nauseam, it de facto becomes a standard.

People start to wonder why you couldn't just follow a "commonly accepted best practice" and instead you went out of your way to insist on terminology that is now considered insensitive, hurtful, harmful.

People start to wonder why you made that conscious choice. What does that say about you? Are you a bigot? Do you harbor hatred for those harmed by such language? Are you making a political statement? Why can't you just do what you're suggested? It's only a click away after all.
If you don’t agree to all provisions in the contract, then you can’t become a member. Nobody’s negotiating a custom contract for every customer who walks through the door.

You cannot lie in the foreign exchange market. If you bs your productivity vis-a-vis loose money supply, your currency will rightly be worthless. The USD would usually be worthless too, it's just that due to Petrodollar system and reserve currency status, it's artificially propped up to be strong.
You’ve chosen a case where throwing a dart did hit 20. There are other, less fantastic places a dart can hit.

While I disagree with the trade blockade, I don't think there's any equivalence here. We don't know what Cuba wants any more than we know what Belarus or North Korea wants. We can approximately equate the country with the people in terms of 'wants' and actions only if the country is actually ran by its people, democratically. Cuba is controlled by a totalitarian regime, and its people cannot decide on which defensive alliances to join because the Cuban government doesn't ask them.

>To me Russia invading Ukraine is like US invading Cuba: you could see it coming from miles ahead. The big bad agressor's "security needs".

Except the US did not invade Cuba, did not bomb thousands of civilians into ashes, did not murder every male citizen of a small town before retreating from it, etc.

Hey, come to think of it, you know who did that last part in Cuba? The Cuban dictatorship. Thousands of political prisoners have been murdered since 1959. I wonder if anyone polled them on which defensive alliance Cuba ought to join before putting a bullet into their head.
What stops you from building more housing where there is demand?
The point of "POC" was to form a political coalition of all the non-white people so they wouldn't fight each other; Irish and Italians "became white" earlier in US history by basically showing off they could be racist to black people too.

It can't last forever, since young people always want to start new language, but the replacements like "BIPOC" aren't catching on since nobody knows what it means.

> The phrasing reduces someone to that characteristic. People of color emphasizes they're whole people with a characteristic.

If it were just that you would see a lot more pushback against phrasing like "LGBTQ+ people", "Black people", etc.

I think it's mostly the history: this is one of many terms we have moved away from, and using an obsolete term marks you as likely having obsolete views.
Only if you buy into “microaggression” philosophy.
The authors of the Dall-E 2 / unCLIP paper describe some of their efforts to mitigate biases in the paper. ML models will always exhibit the biases present in their training dataset, without intervention. It's not really possible to remove bias from an ML model, at least not completely. Some stereotypes, but not all, are backed up by statistics. In those cases, should we completely remove the bias in the training dataset? Doing so would bias the model towards outputs that are not representative of the real world.

When people say that they want to remove bias from ML models, what they really mean is that they want to manipulate the output distribution into something they deem acceptable. I'm not arguing against this practise, there are plenty of situations where the output of an ML model is very clearly biased towards specific classes/samples. I'm merely arguing that there is no such thing as an unbiased model, just as there is no such thing as an unbiased human. Unbiased models would produce no output.

To get around some of these problems OpenAI restricted the training dataset (e.g. filtering sexual and violent content) and also prevent generating images with recognizable faces. This doesn't prevent bias but it does reduce the number of controversial outputs.
Trashy aesthetics is what you get by default when you buy a PC.

Cheapest PC mech keyboard will get you blinking RGB.

Cheap PC case with front mesh airflow. Most likely will come with RGB fans. If it's real cheap you won't be able to even turn it off.

Same with cheapish mouse with decent sensor.

Needless aesthetics is almost unavoidable on the budget end. Unless you specifically go out of your way to pay extra to get models without RGB.
I mean, there is also the option of politely refusing to have the definitions of words changed from under our feet. I have no trouble using the word "retarded" to indicate a mental deficit. Why do you? Why does anyone? So what if some people used it as an insult? Why do they get to control the narrative?
Google's choices spilling out into the offline world is exactly what the GP was getting at -- by choosing to expose Youtube users to a specific type of content, Google has chosen what escapes into meatspace.

Imagine I presented you with $10 (from my own pocket), and asked you where it should be spent. You told me "Doc's Pub, over on 9th." So I walked over to Doc's Pub, but found them to be closed. So I waited outside for a few hours, just incase they opened up. I later went home and wrote down "try to spend $10 at Doc's tomorrow."

Brave staked users with BAT (from our token sale). Users could direct that BAT to the sites/properties of their choosing. The BAT then went into an omnibus settlement wallet (note: the BAT originated in one Brave wallet, and was sent to another Brave wallet).

There was no hijacking of brands, or anything of that nature. I would encourage you again to please visit the aforementioned link. In it I mention our blog post on the topic, which includes screenshots and more. I hope this helps!
Suggestions influence people.

This features right now is restricted too google docs for work. But imagine it was in all documents, emails, texting on android, etc.

Overtime if you constantly get these suggestions you will likely find yourself doing differently subconsciously.

The key problem here is not only is it Google dictating now what is right or wrong in the English language but also applying a US centric view on that.

Many words have different meanings in different countries or even in the same country. Different societal norms and it doesn't mean it is any less inclusive. They just consider it something else.

It didn't take that long for spellcheck to automatically start fixing spellings, a feature that many of us likely could no longer live without. I don't know the last time I actually interacted with spellcheck. That same thing can happen here if we allow this to be acceptable.
Well first, isn't it more like $52k now with base model + autopilot?

If you draw the constraints close enough to the Model 3, you aren't going to find anything that beats the Model 3. I'd argue acceleration doesn't really belong on that list for most folks -- if it does for you, then go Model 3. Same goes for over the air updates. Most people just want an electric car to behave like an ICE car but not need 1) gas and 2) as much maintenance.

Beyond that, I reckon the pertinent bit when deciding if they'd get this hypothetical contract to build public infrastructure wouldn't be whether a single vehicle is now a good car in its class but how we got here. They have been bedeviled with build quality problems throughout their time -- as late as 2020 you had the weird wooden pieces and tape holding HVAC components together. That doesn't bode well for their crack at public infrastructure. They weren't profitable until recently and nearly went bankrupt. Not great. Their placement of service centers leaves a lot to be desired. Rolling out geographically is something they'll need to figure out for the project. New models are continually met with production delays. Not ideal.

So in sum depending on what you want I think the Leaf is a better entry level option, despite ChaDeMo, but it doesn't compete against anything because Tesla doesn't have anything you could call entry level. The Ioniq or Mach-E (despite gross Ford) are better midsize options. If you want performance, go Taycan. I'm not saying the Tesla is a terrible car by any means, I just think its overvalued as against what it provides and what the company is actually achieving.

Being first is worth something, and I'm sure they'll be around for a long time because of it. I still don't want them in charge of our public infrastructure.

P.S. Also the Boring Company seems dead after having given up on the hyper loop idea and slowly backpedaled.
And that's great, but why do they force the issue and report you to HR for using "landlord" or "master/slave protocol" in a powerpoint presentation?
The additions that look interesting to me are multiple return values for functions, and table manipulations.

IIRC tables are used to communicate things like function pointers with the host executor, maybe like a vtable but more general.
It doesn't do reclocking on any modern card, so the power consumption is vastly higher than it needs to be.

There are other points that aren't directly applicable to gaming which just aren't as great. Nouveau are pretty open and honest about how their driver will never be that great on the modern cards because Nvidia doesnt want it to be.
