Doesn't the latest EO make it outright illegal for Apple to purchase from YMTC?

Or can they go ahead if US suppliers can be substituted which I think there is a far chance they can for YMTC.
I think this will be solved like YouTube music. I as copilot user don’t mind paying 0.1cents for a good matrix transform and the code owner doesn’t mind receiving 0.1cents from thousands of users and github gets 30%
Sure, but there’s a fundamental difference between Russia and China - about as big as between Burma and US.
How do you know GH didn't? Maybe they only included repos with LICENSE.MD files which followed a known permissive licence?

What if a particular piece of code is licensed restrictively, and then (assuming without malice) accidentally included in a piece of software with a permissive license?

What if a particular piece of code is licensed permissively (in a way that allows relicensing, for example), but then included in a software package with a more restrictive licence. How could you tell if the original code is licensed permissively or not?

At what point do Github have to become absolute arbiters of the original authorship of the code in order to determine who is authorised to issue licenses for the code? How would they do so? How could you prove ownership to Github? What consequences could there be if you were unable to prove ownership?

That's before we even get to more nuanced ethical questions like a human learning to code will inevitably learn from reading code, even if the code they read is not permissively licensed. Why then, would an AI learning to code not be allowed to do the same?
There is no formal linking structure in many, if not most cases. Ctrl+V is the weapon of choice of many a programmer. To say nothing of somebody then adding superficial changes to the code to, for instance, fit their personal style or adapt it into their project. And then of course on top of it, Github is not the alpha and omega of code. The original code have been published anywhere, or even nowhere in a case such as theft.

Then there's also parallel discovery. People frequently come to the same solution at roughly the same time, completely independently. And this is nothing new. For instance, who discovered calculus? Newton or Leibniz? This was a roaring controversy at the same time with both claiming credit. The reality is that they both likely discovered it, completely independently, at about the same time. And there's a whole lot more people working on stuff than than in Newton's time!

There's also just parallel creation. Task enough people with creating an octree based level-of-detail system in computer graphics and you're going to get a lot of relatively lengthy code that is going to look extremely similar, in spite of the fact that it's a generally esoteric and non-trivial problem.
Masterful. It does feel much the same way.
Funny then that my example was with redhat linux....but as always, they are a problem too right, just your distribution X is the best right?
I think it’s actually a schtick.

If you're genuinely curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_model
The main purposes of service workers are offline support and persistent background stuff. These are typically irrelevant in Private Browsing windows, which are designed for short-term use, and so service workers are almost always pure waste. (Not always, but almost always, and in line with the intended purpose and semantics of Private Browsing windows, though you can certainly use it in somewhat different ways.)

It’s similar to a large part of the reason why Local Storage and Indexed DB were historically disabled in Private Browsing: why store stuff when it’s only going to be deleted immediately?

Browsers have mostly headed in the direction of removing distinguishing features from their Private Browsing modes, partly to thwart detection of that mode, and partly because many things started to carelessly depend on the gated functionality. Firefox still doesn’t allow writing to Indexed DB (and only made Local Storage work far later than Chromium), and I’ve definitely encountered sites that just assumed it would work, and so fell over in early initialisation.

And so for this specific subthread: it’s ossification at work. If something is supposed to be able to change but never actually changes, you find when you try to change it that you can’t do so any more because people have built too much stuff that assumed it wouldn’t change.
Steve Jobs had at least enough product sense to avoid releasing the iPhone and iPod for years while they were in early development.

Meta has none of this.

Apple succeeded (and succeeds still) because of the company’s culture of obsessiveness. The original motto of Facebook was “move fast and break things” which might have worked well for an evolving social media darling but it’s not surprising that they’re failing constantly at shipping real world products.

John Carmack (now a Meta employee) openly complains that he’s not happy with their expensive unaffordable product that has terrible performance for users. Taking this analogy further, in this case Meta is like IBM with a research facility developing expensive GUI prototypes, just waiting for an enterprising startup to rehash their ideas into something affordable, enjoyable, and usable for most people.
> Real influence is when a party is part of the government, has ministers, etc. Like the greens in Germany.

Yes that's what happened. Real influence is when you sign agreements for your votes at the presidential election in exchange for a few ministers, exactly what the greens did during the past 20 years.

> If the 'greens' had any influence in France, this influence is not very visible in the results.

I can point at actual laws propped up by the greens against their votes if you want, at this point it's just denying reality.

> The investments in nuclear went much worse: half of the reactor fleet is offline and more than a hundred billion Euros is needed for this fleet just to keep it running and replace some of these aging reactors. No wonder EDF is nationalized, with huge debt and billions of more needed - a normal company would already be bankrupt.

Well that's what happens when you stop investments and force selling electricity to below production costs yeah, again you're lucky it's nuclear we're talking about, it would be renewables, the production would have dropped to zero at that point.

> Renewables are currently the cheapest source of electricity and its getting cheaper.

France spent around half the price of the nuclear grid on renewables ... for 7% of the production. This puts it at around 5 times more expensive than the existing nuclear grid without taking into account the backup infrastructure.

The french investment on renewable was one of the most expensive with the lowest output ever performed by the country

This also did not help the current situation either.
Spoiler: because we allowed inoculated trees to be exported outside of Spain, Italy and France.

Truffles, like any other mushrooms, are pretty much a gift of nature. They are very sensitive to climate change, pesticides and other forms of pollution.

Be conscious about it the next time you enjoy a truffled dish in a restaurant.

The Fukushima incident had a cost of at least a trillion Dollars, with the estimate rising. Yes, there were lower estimates, those are old. Tschernobyl is still a hazard. You could argue it was a benefit that Russian soldiers irradiated themselves by digging trenches in contaminated dirt, but that's about it.

And you probably underestimate the probability of such things happening. Bad intent is unpredictable. Bad intentions plus negligence plus accidents usually turns out to be worse than imagined, especially on this timeframe.
It is very useful those apps exist.

They also advertise the lack of ads in those apps so I suspect they are financed by some public (or charitable) institution. Unfortunately, all apps can't be finances this way so I personally would really like for some privacy minded ad network to appear.

I suppose most people associate ads with no tracking/ids as useless (paying an order of magnitude less than the alternative). I wish some innovative method emerged to make privacy friendly ads have comparable sucess rates.
> bigger than the Wizard of oz moment where the movie transitions from monochrome to colour

I have never heard anyone put it better than that.
Part of me feels like we need to just make cars much much much more reflective (being careful to not have hard corners or flat surfaces that could create glare during the day). First of all, that would make them much more easily visible at night (which would be great, and is something everyone should want)... but it would also mean that if you are an asshole and use your high beams or otherwise shine a light at a car you will also get blinded and thereby there will be an actual incentive to not harm others with your lighting setups.

(I would personally award bonus points if this is implemented with some kind of inverse adaptive "matrix" mirror mechanism whereby reflective-ness is automatically concentrated at light sources that are directing light at you. This is again a win for good light citizens as it would make the car not overly bright during the day while managing to boost its visibility specifically to people who themselves have lights looking for obstacles, with the only side effect of blinding people with dangerous lightings setups who are blinding others already.)
> If someone has lied about the license of something down the chain of links, he's the one on the hook for it.

In this case, all you have on them is an email address. Pretty sure you're still on the hook.
This is something I already suspected since you can encode piece-wise linear function-based neural networks (of a reasonable size) as mixed-integer problems (MIP). Since MIP is NP-complete, that means you could also translate the neural network more painfully into SAT, giving you all the interpretability you could possible want...

Except I'm not too sure how "interpretable" the results really would be in most cases. What questions would you pose to an ML model recognizing images or audio?
I'm a pretty bright cat, in that I'm world-class good at inductive and deductive reasoning, and better at making intuitive leaps (where I "get it" but I can't explain how I get it). It's served me very well in my life, but I have constantly been undermined by my own inability to focus and the fact that I often abandon ideas and projects because I'm easily bored with them or I can see why, ten steps down the road, why they'll turn out to be a bad idea. It's like conceding a chess game ten moves in because you can already see you're screwed.

Consequently, I'm basically a failure as far as career goes. A lot of dumb people have much easier and more luxurious lives than I do, because they just get to doing the thing without ever worrying or caring if the thing is worth doing in the first place. This used to bug me, but it no longer does.
>That's why I like the privacy cards on the iOS App Store a lot

Donkeyd, I find the privacy cards in the iOS app store to be an unreliable source. I will read the relevant privacy policy stating 'data not collected' to mean anything but. Do you know if the card self-reporting?
Facebook pays a _very_ tiny amounts for their moderation team, compared to the number of users.

XCheck is all about content moderation, in particular about saving work (ie money) on content moderation.
Just have the human readable signs be reasonably standardized, and the self driving car computer can then read them too.

It's a lot easier and more future proof to side-channel map updates to cars through a cell network, and allows for some curation. Also, improved cell network coverage seems like a more worthwhile capital expenditure for a local government than a bunch of smart signs that only help 0.001% of drivers. Cynically, I'm sure some politician's spouse's cousin would be happy to win the contract to slap a BLE beacon into a box and bolt it onto a sign for $150k a unit, though...

There is an ongoing effort to introduce infrastructure free direct communication for vehicles, using 5.9ghz spectrum. The spectrum was previously allocated to DSRC radio technology the automotive industry pushed for, but it's been 15 years and it hasn't gone anywhere. The FCC is now letting the cell network folk take a crack at solving the problem instead.
it's fine to require service workers if it's justified

I don't agree with this because you're essentially defending writing websites and apps for specific browsers. "Oh, this doesn't work in your browser because it requires [specific tech|devs to test in more than one browser|whatever]" is a lame excuse in a world where progressive enhancement has been an accepted approach to developing web software for twenty years.

As a tech demo to show something is possible it's fair enough, but in the real world this shouldn't ever happen.

"When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi
Yeah, so if a news agency publishes a picture without knowing where it came from, the originator can sue them for violating copyright.

There is no “I don’t know who owns the IP” defense: the image has a copyright, a person owns that copyright, publishing the image without licensing or purchasing the copyright, is a violation. The fine is something like $100k per offense for a business.

> Meaning this generation will never fall in love with the possibilities and potential of VR.

I see that as a good thing.
There definitely can be instrument-specific differences though, even under equal temperment. For example, the black keys on a piano sound distinctly different than the white keys; and on stringed instruments, some keys lend themselves to voicings containg more open strings, which AFAIK leads to a brighter/fuller sound (though I don't play stringed instruments, so don't quote me on that). There's also the practical matter that some things are easier or harder to play in some keys.

And of course, playing a song in a higher or lower key means you’re playing it higher or lower. A couple semitones can make a subtle difference in the character of a piece; transposing half an octave can be drastic. This combines with instrument-specific differences too, as most instruments just sound different in different octave ranges. I once had to play a piece written that was written originally in A major for a Rhodes electric piano, but I had to transpose to D major to accommodate a vocalist. This was incredibly awkward; transposing downwards sounded way too muddy, but transposing upwards sounded annoyingly chimey.
when I was a kid in France I remember one some car parks at the beginning of the winter there were people tuning headlights with a machine. I don't know the specifics because I was too young (was it the police? a road safety non-profit?)

It has disappeared a long time ago.

edit: https://valdeuropeinfos.fr/faites-verifier-vos-phares-gratui...
actually it still exists, and it's the police (a technical department dedicated to road safety)
I get the feeling that computers are more and more picky when it comes to working with different components.

I have two HP laptops, both supporting DisplayPort alt-mode over USB-C. I have Windows 11 and arch Linux on both, up-to-date. My USB dock's display out works at 4k@60 with both Linuxes, but only one windows. Go figure.
>The way to tell if something was in the dataset would be to use the name of a famous Disney character and see what it pulls up.

I tried out of curiosity. Here[1] are the first 8 images that came up with the prompt "Disney mickey mouse" using the stable diffusion V1.4 model.
Personally I don't really see why Disney or any other company would take issue with the image generation models, it just seems more or less like regular fan art.

That doesn't help when someone else mirrors your code to GitHub.
I thought it was obvious from context that I was talking about software products.

This is what I mean by a product developer: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-product-minded-engine...

I'm sure that type of developer exists for the kinds of products you are talking about, deep tech products, etc but that seems a lot less common.
Does it mean the no tweaking or easy road is still to go with Intel igpu ?
It's not a post about cheering people up for social purpose, it's explaining there are few problems that are "too difficult" and most can be solved by doing the work.
Interesting. I've come to believe there are no such creatures as geniuses. Certainly some proportion of individuals have a different understanding of maths and physics which allows them to see solutions that others don't and generally excel at the subjects, but I don't see them any smarter than other smart people. I see that it's a bit like processing a problem with verbal logic versus visual logic - perhaps some individuals have just learned a math logic.
The German CT magazine tested the Ryzen 7000 recently and they said the eco mode (or similar name) reduced the power consumption significantly (IIRC <65W after) with only modest (<5%) performance drop.

IIRC they also said not to disable EXPO.
Debian has been noted in the past to ship ancient, outdated, and broken software.

Though the slow rate of change is part of its value prop.
> I'd venture that the "guys ... operating at a completely different level" likely gained their intuitive understanding of math and physics from earlier educational training (formal or informal).

Surely it's a combination of nurture AND nature. It's likely some people are just born smarter than others, much like people are born with the "right stuff" to go further in athletic pursuits. Just like athletic training would play a part in the end result combined with natural athletic potential. It seems crazy to me that people would think that every brain starts as a blank slate, with the same potential, with the end result being purely due to education.

I know that people are worried that even admitting it is a possibility immediately invites ideas of eugenics/racism, but surely we can entertain this idea without the discussion devolving into us goosestepping into oblivion.
This reminds me my 4 year old daughter. She often comes from kindergarten with new toys. When i ask here, where did she get it, she tells that her friend gave this as a gift to her. When i dig deeper and ask around, i turns out that the friend who were gifting her things were not real owners of the gift. I see why i could be difficult for children to understand concept of ownership and that you should not gift things to others that are not your own.

So in this case copilot just looks at the situation like that someone gifted me this, and does not question if the person gifting was the real owner of the gift.
That is certainly one perspective. A likely perspective. A little more hopeful perspective is that people see that Xi is not fundamentally different than Putin and understand that money spent in China will eventually be used to attack Taiwan.

It is pretty clear to me that it is not ethical to do business with despots however pragmatic it may be.

Germany was clearly willing to sell Ukraine out to Putin, so you're probably right about the eventual consequences.
Can you name a few, please?

I am very reluctant to fitness apps and devices for that exact reason and I'd really like to see a privacy friendly app.

Bonus points if you know devices that can be used with local data only.
> policy making based on objective truth

Policy making is not about truth, it is about values and priorities.
Changing someone's mind is not equivalent to making them take action that will have negative consequences.
This may be an acceptable approach if the code is not produced in a professional context and not of professional quality. One of the keystones of open source is professionals have had an ecosystem where they can deliver value to an open forum but still have at least a semblance of control how their contribution is used via various licenses they can select.
No, it means (like it does for every single other platform) that you need to use a distro that's newer than the hardware you're running on.

Debian is sadly behind a lot of the time.
It's the old Frankenstein's Monster problem.

Much like you could argue that Dr Frankenstein was the real monster in that story, I'd say Matt Goldbot was the real Compiler Explorer all along.
Cities are huge. The chances of you being hit is nil. If you do come, you'll help the economy - your rent, your living costs - and the locals appreciate you being here.
They may not sell your data, but it might be subpoenaed by a court. Or breached by a hacker. Or leaked by a coding error. Or by incorrect AWS permissions. Or an email campaign by a stupid PM.

With great difficulty.

In seriousness, I've recently been doing a lot more front-end work in my position and have had to pick it up pretty quickly after years of desktop, core tech, and backend work.

TypeScript is my new best friend. So far I've not used frameworks like React because they seemed overkill for what I've been building, and I wanted to get a solid grasp on vanilla JS/TS before going that route. So right now my preference is TS transpiled and bundled with the help of Webpack deployed to something like Netlify or, if a server is involved, Render (although I'm looking for Render alternatives due to very slow initial page load when the app usage goes "cold")
Linux not working, and Windows working in a situation is a single datapoint.
Two things:

1. Current Windows is supposed to be a supported platform by virtually all current hardware, because Windows is the de-facto consumer and office platform for decades. Linux, in comparison, is an aftermarket solution.

2. Windows, as a platform, is rife with problems, driver problems included. The word "driver" is present 12 times in this collection, for an example: https://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html (compared to the 46 times in the respective Linux article)

The Linux mindset, whatever it's supposed to mean, is perfectly fine. It works well, since its inception, as evidenced by the incredible amount of mindshare that goes into Linux - ranging from hobbyist interest to enterprise and government involvement.
Can you provide a link to the claim? Interesting if true.
Yes, a neuroscientist friend of mine researching this says that maybe the Chinese know something we don’t about the long term effects.

There was this article published (by someone else) in Nature on 2022-04-01 titled “Neuropathology and virus in brain of SARS-CoV-2 infected non-human primates”, that found neurlogical damage in monkeys even after mild symptoms: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-29440-z

There are other possible explanations for China’s policy, but this one concerns me the most.
As a sibling commenter says, this seems legitimate use. They also probably don't need to track you for this. The data point that P pressure was detected at L location at T time should be enough. It doesn't need to know that when those parameters change, they're coming from the same user.
