I think for hardware level code and things link bios the only way is to trust the manufacturer. You could also trust the manufacturer but if they are not large enough to have fully vetted and trusted vendors then you're back to square one. So I think only in this sense it says something about the high degree of security of devices made by Apple.
You don't need to have the one pedal driving enabled to reap the benefits. In all EVs and PHEVs you brake with the electric motors first even when using the actual pedal - normal brakes are engaged only past a certain threshold.

Also to give a personal anecdote, in my Volvo XC60 PHEV, I've just had the inspection done and after 24k miles the brake pads are 5% worn. That's insane for a 2.2 tonne SUV with 400bhp. If it wasn't a PHEV I can guarantee that the pads would be nearly worn by now.
As much as I want to like KDE and agree with some of its principles (such as its all-too-uncommon lack of fear of proper menubars) I have a hard time using it long term because even after years of effort going into polishing it, it still has that distinct “designed by programmers” feel to it with awkward UI layout and whitespace distribution and quirky idiosyncrasies smattered throughout. I get why it has ardent fans but I don’t think it’s for everybody.

> I am not aware that the US has ratified any treaty which would outlaw perpetual leases.

So if Russia did not ratify UN convention on war crimes, then their behaviour in Ukraine is okay?

You seem to have no grasp of international law at all.

Article 52 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties:

“a treaty is void if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use of force.”

The Platt Amendment and accompanying Agreement could have violated this article because the leasing provision was a threatening ultimatum. The first Cuban government extended the lease with unequal bargaining power: Cuba understood that U.S. military forces would remain on the island if the leasing arrangement was not made

Cuba may hold that the United States breached the lease Agreement under Article 60 of the Vienna Convention - Lease was for a naval base, not an illegal detention camp.

This is not mentioned enough and it's hard to think of an outcome to any legal action that would fix the things that traditional artists are asking to be fixed.

And even if there was an effective legal block on allegedly infringing models - an "IP clean" AI model would on the whole be equally disruptive. There's enough material out there in the public domain to create effective image generation models. It might not match the style of living artists very well, but that's not really the thing that's going to be the real problem.

I think the key thing to recognize is that this is all opinion. Many people dont like the availability of many opions, the ease at which dependencies have grown. And that's fine, there's some real pain here to having ballooning package trees. There's a pevel of conceit though that I feel that often arises, where we mock & shiv packages like is-even . But to me, it's not absolute, it's a matter of taste & preference. It looks weird to outsiders, but it has been enormously powerful & helpful, has been such a key successful element of JS that npm arose & made package management easy & package publishing easy & that we begat a new behavior of capturing all the little helpful things we do & making them available.

Maybe there are good reasons for inlining simple things, but it's not clear to me what the gains really are, or what's wrong with is-even.

This is like MMT inspired nonsense, lower interest rates from central banks aren't causing lower growth.

We have lower growth, so we have lower interest rates. Increasing rates would decrease the price of assets, as we've just seen from the past 12 months. The purpose of that was to handle the NGDP overshoot from covid.

> The only solution is for the regulator, in this case the central banks, to issue guidance for the banks to create credit for only new productive investments

Just plain stupid. I don't even know what this means or what the policy would look like.

> new housing, factories, machinery, or firms, because those are not inflationary

Obviously wrong. What does inflation mean? An increase in the price level. If you increase demand all else being equal, what happens to the price of something?

By the way - that's the whole point of central banking affecting interest rates. To lower the cost of credit so aggregate demand increases (which is inflationary).

You need to give me a really good thesis on why increasing the cost of credit for """"semi-finite""" assets causes lower growth. The gall to end this with "only one logical outcome" smh.

Edit:

It's like you live in post 2008 fantasy land where aggregate demand is depressed forever. We do not live in this world.

> Nobody cares about the model output

> The issue at hand is that artists had their art trained on without their permission

Interesting that you care about the training data but not the generated images. The only explanation I found is that you want to stop the "evil" from the root and have the models unaware of your style.

Do you believe that the style of an artist who is not included in the diffusion training set can't be replicated? No style is actually outside the scope of the model after it has learned the first few thousand styles. They become a map that will reveal every other style.

Extremely unlikely. They’re built on entirely different UI stacks so in a “merge” the codebase for one half or the other is going to have to be binned, and besides that they have very different and largely incompatible approaches in terms of UI/UX design.

> Each kiosk has three cameras, 30 sensors, and heightened sight lines for viewing above crowds ... According to privacy watchdogs, the rollout of the kiosk’s cameras have shown how the mission has already expanded beyond its initial purview. In 2016, LinkNYC disclosed that the kiosks “may” contain cameras; by 2017, the cameras were operational. LinkNYC’s privacy policy states that cameras do not keep video records for more than seven days and that the camera footage is used to “improve the services.” But opting out is not an option: Just by walking down the block, it is possible to be swept into its audio or video feeds, which can capture a nearly 360-degree view of their surroundings.

No, you can't require fees to be paid. That is my point.

You can try -- all of entertainment certainly does with DRM and all these stupids rental models for everything. They can come up with registries and agencies to handle "collections", but all of this is toothless if I can acquire the bits and do whatever I want outside of their purview.

If I can find a way to view the artwork I can do what I wish with the knowledge and emotions that I gained from it, and there is nothing you can do to stop me. This is not so different from AI learning, the exact images are not stored in the model. Neither are they "compressed". You cannot get the same exact image out that you put in.

People need to get over this awful model of rent-seeking and collections. There are always other ways to monetize.

I was educated at a public school, went to college on tuition funded by scholarships, where I learned things written in public libraries by people studying with public funds, now I commute physically on public roads and digital cables...

While it's true that you can't replace one cell, you also don't need to because the pack is designed to lose individual cells without significantly impacting the range. It's not like they're not all in series or something. They're paralleled in medium groups (72 on original model S) with individual fuses, so a single lost cell cuts the capacity of that one group by 1/72. Active rebalancing can transfer charge between groups, so it's hardly noticeable.

My mistake, though in my defense your comments do read as if you're discussing universities forcing students to allow them to manage their devices.

Your comment above is the first I'm hearing of students being forced to live in a dorm, join a meal plan, or abstain from alcohol, excepting religious institutions. If those things are really happening at public universities I'd agree that's an overreach.

Ask HN: Why are some Windows 11 keys so cheap?
I am currently looking for a Windows 11 license key.

I see a lot of weirdly cheap prices from places, that don’t look that sketchy.

For example here, they sell those licenses for 3 euro

https://www.gamers-outlet.net/en/buy-windows-11-pro-cd-key-oem-microsoft-global

That doesn’t look like reselling generated keys, like those sketchy eBay resellers.

On Amazon though, the cheapest I see is for 166 euro

https://www.amazon.de/4535055/dp/B09XJ8PM2X

Why the big price difference? Where are places like Gamers Outlet getting the cheap licenses?
You could say the same about any JPEG on the internet. Yet artists successfully recover licensing fees for those. It's not unthinkable that artists will be paid licensing fees for AI-regurgitated copies of their art, too.
I'm not sure "derivative work" has the legal meaning that would support your argument. To quote Wikipedia:

As others note, it's exactly a change in basis. In particular, it's an orthonormal basis, meaning that the dot product (correlation) between a basis function and itself is one, and between any two different basis functions is zero. This gives some intuition for why the forward and inverse transforms look so similar, in the same way that the inverse of an orthonormal matrix (like a rotation matrix) is just its transpose.
Yeah - idea is "remote management". It's tricky because packet drivers were never written with multiple applications running simultaneously in mind, DESQview is one big monstrous hack on 286, and both httpd and ftpd use direct screen writes which can't be virtualised on 286.
I'll be testing a newer version of the httpd which uses bios screen writes, and a second NIC and packet driver for ftpd - but no idea if it's going to work :)
There is a KDE Free Qt Foundation to help make sure Qt stays free for KDE users.

Should The Qt Company discontinue the development of the Qt Free Edition under the required licenses, then the Foundation has the right to release Qt under a BSD-style license or under other open source licenses. The agreements stay valid in case of a buy-out, a merger or bankruptcy.

> Do you want a free-for-all, or do you want curation and quality?

Based on my experience, people prefer a free-for-all over distributions with outdated and/or missing packages.

I write packages for cheminformatics, which is mix of CS and chemistry. There are very few people who can curate in this field - far more than the number of producers. But there are some, like Debichem for Debian.

Debichem distributed two of my packages. One was years out of date, and despite repeated attempts to inform them about newer versions, I never heard back from them. Instead, Debian users downloaded it from PyPI.

The other was, oddly, a package that was published on my web site - not PyPI - for external feedback, before being integrated into the RDKit (a much larger package in my field). It wasn't meant for general distribution like through Debian, and only years later did I find out.

No other package distributor has picked up my work.

I like these kinds of responses.

So you suggest we pay them with what, exactly?

With gold coins? With fruits harvested from the vast fields of money trees?

Or maybe with the collective consensus illusion of funds fabricated by "government" for the use of its citizens?

Money isn't a real thing. Money is not a real thing. There is no such thing as money.

Public services can be paid for with the same thing everything else is paid for: the surrounding social system ("government") saying that it's paid.

People are so deeply invested and locked into maintaining their grasp of the illusion of how things really are that they cannot fathom "the way things are" is completely invented and almost always subject to change if people would just stop maintaining the illusion.

I do think "blog post learning" can work, but agree with you that this ain't it. The "explanation" on the blog post would really only work for someone who more-or-less understood Fourier Series already.

You're also right that explanations can't be isolated. I'd go further and say they never are. People only come to understand new things in terms of things they already understand. There's no "explaining X" in isolation, there's only "explaining X in terms of Y." A good explanation either supplies a suitable Y or makes it clear to the reader what Y they'll be relying on.

So, even if the author tries to isolate, a successful explanation always relies on collateral information. The only question is whether that collateral information is left to chance or intentionally exploited.

What's the "Y" here? Well, the author assumes the reader can make sense of phrases like "energy at a frequency", what it means to "spin your frequency around a circle", "average a bunch of points along a path", etc.

That's...a lot. I'd go so far as to say that a reader who can make sense of that probably already understands more fundamental concepts like vector spaces, bases, and Taylor Series.

And if they understand those things then there are much more straightforward explanations available!
