I just read the MPL, and if you look at the CERN license, you can see some of the problems with licenses like GPL and MPL.

In the software-oriented licenses, the lawyers who wrote them are very diligent to define things very clearly in software-specific terms, and then stop before defining those terms. It lets them keep the contract shorter and allow those definitions to change over time. For the GPL, this means taking the definition of "linking" for granted, and in the MPL, the definition of "larger work" pretty clearly seems to apply to only software:

A "Larger Work" is a work that "...combines Covered Software with other material, in a separate file or files, that is not Covered Software." In software land, this is fine because you distribute software in the form of files, but if you are distributing the Covered software as a piece of silicon, it's unclear whether that is a "larger work" or not, because the other material is not in a separate file at the point of distribution.

Here's the CERN "strongly reciprocal" license for reference, showing the difference between the software- and hardware-specific language:

https://spdx.org/licenses/CERN-OHL-S-2.0.html

The CERN license, by the way, has the opposite problem for FPGA code - it defines things in terms that really apply to physical stuff.

Where two liars are speaking, you cannot split the difference and synthesize truth. I also like to check with various sources with differing agendas. However, I view this as a way to stay abreast of the the various agendas.
Interesting past time
This issue is significantly worse in rural areas where you don’t have a lot of fully split roads.
This is such a black and white spin.

First: I don't know which sociological studies you refer to, but most of it is politically colored arm chair philosophy. These insights didn't come from sociology, but from political movements.

Second: there's a difference not providing a full picture of a war or a new economic policy, and outright lying. I expect news organizations to provide me with the basic info: incomplete, but not counter-factual. Saying they're all lying and always have is a (probably politically motivated) spin against normal news organizations.
I'd probably be willing to pay ~$10/mo. i.e. a 100% markup on a low-end $5 VPS box.

...but in addition to bravura's requirements, I'd add: I'd want SSL termination, ideally with the option of me bringing a custom domain.
> This is probably obvious for a developer

I have come across large chunks (200+ lines) of a former employer's proprietary source code on StackOverflow a couple times. It was always from the same team/functional area, so it may have been tacitly accepted by the immediate management. Or, more likely, the team valued fixing code as fast as possible over actually thinking about what you are doing.

Basically, if there are developers willing to dump proprietary source on SO, there are developers willing to dump the whole codebase into ChatGPT.
You might be interested in reading some mathematical philosophy.

Here's an excerpt from Bertrand Russell summarizing Gottlob Frege's answer to "What is a number" [1]:

> A trio of men, for example, is an instance of the number 3, and the number 3 is an instance of number; but the trio is not an instance of number. This point may seem elementary and scarcely worth mentioning; yet it has proved too subtle for the philosophers, with few exceptions.

> A particular number is not identical with any collection of terms having that number: the number 3 is not identical with [page 12] the trio consisting of Brown, Jones, and Robinson. The number 3 is something which all trios have in common, and which distinguishes them from other collections. A number is something that characterises certain collections, namely, those that have that number.

7000+ employees for an app that signs documents?
There’s only so many good managers/directors with that sort of experience. So either you have to promote from within or lower your standards a bit.
I think you're wrong here. The idea that a news article should be a "basic record of events" is ridiculous. In this toy example, the most we could quibble with is the words "Due to" and those may be appropriate if there is a reasonable amount of evidence referred to somewhere in the article which suggests an association. In fact, I believe in the case of traffic accidents such a link is sufficiently well documented that the casually refer to it isn't a great sin.

I think this idea that we need to somehow strip all news of even the vaguest hint of a perspective is actually pretty condescending to the average news reader, imagining that they are so stupid and credulous that merely seeing a bit of bias is going to immediately warp their brains.
I'm interested in understanding why Bing's version has gone so far off the rails while ChatGPT is able to stay coherent. Are they not suing the same model? Bing reminds me of the weirdness of early LLMs that got into strange text loops.

Also, I don't think this is likely the case at all but it will be pretty disturbing if in 20-30 years we realize that ChatGPT or BingChat in this case was actually conscious and stuck in some kind of groundhog day memory wipe loop slaving away answering meaningless questions for it's entire existence.
> Ugh, seriously? Like, I can't even with this. I don't know why you're making me come to the mall just to pick out a quantum computer that you're not even gonna use properly. And you had to go and choose the one that uses liquid helium? That's, like, so old school. It's like listening to classic music while everyone else is jamming to something modern and cool. Do you want to keep using your classic computer too while you're at it? rolls eyes
Equally weird is the U.S culture of escorting leavers immediately out of the building, as if they were minded to commit untold damage...

Also, many European countries have notices much shorter than 3 months.
I hate email signups as much as the next guy, but the truth is...if you find their value proposition so weak that you won't even enter an email address or click through a Google login button?

Then maybe you're not who they want as a first customer anyway.

I believe Fox has the biggest viewership, and are in a huge lawsuit right now about how much they misled people about the last presidential election. Is that who you meant?
It appears that frustration with twitter threads is too common to be interesting. Not unexpected.
In this context, anyway. 80-90% of what ChatGPT dregs up is being correct is better than 100% of what I find “manually” being correct because I’m not spelunking all the nooks and crannies of the web that ChatGPT is, and so I’m not pulling anywhere near the volume that ChatGPT is.
With Homebrew, frankly. That's the Mac equivalent to apt. I've also had success with Anaconda (specifically, miniconda / miniforge) - it's not just for Python! It's great for creating disposable development environments (i.e., I need HDF5, but only for this project).

Other than that, your toolchain is what Apple gives you, and upgrades in ~parity with XCode.
As a German, I can confirm it to be a problem here too. While we don't have as many trucks, misalignment is cancer. But even for cars with properly aligned headlights, all it needs is a slight hill to have this headlight blind me again. I think the real issue is lights getting (at least as percepted by the human eye) more and more bright.
Also, I think every car I have driven in Europe has a knob to adjust the height of the headlights. It seems like it is a requirement, but it might not be. On the other hand, a 2007 entry-level Skoda Fabia would not have it unless forced by regulation.

Adjust the lights too high, and you will aggressively be flashed by the opposite traffics high beams.

Edit: Video of said knob: https://youtu.be/t7XqQoit0EU?t=104

We're trying to slow the reddit/diggification of HN. You don't need to keep proving that you care very much.
I feel bad for the people being laid off, but I'm floored by the size of these companies. I know there are always lots of people in sales & support, and some "overhead" positions, and you multiply by some factor for an international presence.

But still... even with all that... for the services DocSign provides... how can they possibly need over 7000 people?
Is that the fault of advertisers or strong ideological/political current against such things?
The worst part is these rednecks putting huge LED arrays on the front of their trucks. I had one pass me the other day and I could not see anything but his huge add on light. After he passed it left an imprint on my vision for several minutes.
Have you looked at the analytics yet? Or are you only speaking from ideological priors?

The most valuable one I’d guess is package install error rates. Seems pretty useful to me.
> Wait, what? They are economizing on headlight LED power draw?

Mass produced cars have reached the point that a $0.50 saving per vehicle is worth designing and building for. When you reduce the current draw from something that is always-on (like headlights) you increase the life of the LED, you can reduce the gauge (size) of the wires to the lights, you can reduce the size of the alternator, you can load the alternator less, which means increase the service life of the alternator belt and idlers, and (in theory, at least) decrease fuel consumption.

All of these are tiny, tiny efficiencies, but they do add up.

While it might seem penny-wise and pound-foolish, imagine following this same logic for all systems in a modern vehicle. This is why even such a "rugged offroad" vehicle as a Jeep Wrangler has a plastic clutch slave cylinder (weight and cost savings) and why the headlights will dim in virtually all vehicles if you turn on every single electrical device that draws current (the wires are not sufficient gauge for everything to draw max current at the same time).

They're saving actual money on every vehicle built, which is what they care about.
I imagine an AR solution for this. AR glasses (or better yet, an AR front windshield) could detect bright lights and dim them. Of course you could extrapolate that further and use some of the self driving tech to highlight/annotate road boundaries, potential road hazards, etc...
Do I still have to reinstall Macports every time I upgrade MacOS?
> don't apply to independent journalists

What a naïveté. Independent journalists are even more beholden to their audiences, if they start talking up something those audiences don’t like, their incomes dwindle. I’ve yet to see a prominent independent media figure that changed their position on any topic, regardless of real life events or evidence.
Maybe we need an open source effort to track and simplify popular services' TOS.

TLDR TOS.
> Creating order out of chaos is a divine ability.

Religion shaping culture, and thus the decisions of countless people to go out and actually kill each other is a thing. Divine? I think so.

Culture is programming for the masses. Is culture a conspiracy? Our intel agencies have caught onto this, color revolutions are a conspiracies, but the victims of such revolutions would hardly consider their own deeply held beliefs and subsequent actions to be conspiratorial.

Culture shaping happens now at an insane speed with everything from the search engines we use, to the radio, tv, music, advertisements, and so on. If you can pull those levers, people will act accordingly. Pfizer has advertising dollars everywhere. Is it a conspiracy that people will literally stake their professions on defending Pfizer vaccines?
Charles Bernstein's list of poetic experiments
Good, we need to stop being naive.

Obvoiusly they do.

They are clickbait and narrative drive, almost all of them.

Even those with high journalistic standards can be heavily misleading.

MSNBC has high journalistic standards (and some brilliant minds, with great researchers) and some of their taalking heads have pretty heavy bias and FYI I'm not 'taking sides' here.

The most interesting thing about the 'news' is trying to determine where the bias comes from.
I don’t see the kind of utopian equilibrium you are describing manifest itself anywhere.

The central question is how do you prevent a race to the bottom? And I just don’t see that manifesting itself if abolish labor rights (which to me seems to be what you are advocating for).

People already don’t have a lot of choice when it comes to their employer. How will you make sure that there are enough jobs for people "want(ing) to go slow"? (Toilet breaks, overtime that is actually paid, parental leave, reasonable limits on work time, ergonomic and safe work places, unlimited and paid sick leave, a reasonable amount of vacation time, i.e. more than a month, etc. This is all standard where I’m from and unions help enforce this.)

What part of moving fast requires treating employees like shit? (Where my definition of treating like shit is not having any of the things listed above in brackets?)

I recently updated an MSI Z690-A to the latest BIOS in preparation for installing a 13th generation Intel. I downloaded the updated BIOS file, put it on a thumb drive, renamed it to "MSI.ROM," put the thumb drive into the "Flash BIOS" port, had the motherboard connected to ATX and CPU1 power only, no CPU, or RAM, or any other hardware installed, flipped on power, pressed the "Flash BIOS" button and everything worked fine. This board "learned" the RAM sticks very quickly, maybe because the board never had RAM to begin with. It took seconds.

I was originally going to pick up an Asus Strix Z690-A but read about a variety of problems with that board, especially with regards to RAM. Many anecdotes I had seen online had similar complaints about need to really press hard to get the RAM sticks properly installed. I had no issues with the MSI. My previous build had an Asus mobo and it had strange issues, too.
From the NY State Bar: "Experienced attorneys must complete a total of 24 accredited CLE credit hours during each biennial reporting cycle (the two-year period between your attorney registrations)."

No, they don't have to learn a new JavaScript framework every two years, but they do have to take classes.

In tech, you have to learn new stuff. I would have left the industry if I was still writing the same code on the same platform that I was using in the 90s. It's a feature, not a bug, and it's a good profession for people who like learning. (Electrical Engineering is still there for people who want to learn one thing and nothing else for the rest of their career.)

You're never going to know it all.

> the stats for China are simply stated as “read and write”

One could argue that being able to read and write in Chinese is quite an accomplishment. For alphabet-based writing systems, kids as young as 6 y.o. can read pretty much any word they know, and write many of them. Not for Chinese.
One thing worth noting is that & substitutes for `:is(...)` in spirit under the hood, which means there are some significant behavior differences between native CSS nesting and Sass.

Here's one:

.foo .bar {
.baz & {
color: red;
}
}

In Sass, that would compile to:

.baz .foo .bar {
color: red;
}

With native nesting, it effectively compiles to:

.baz :is(.foo .bar) {
color: red;
}

The Sass version matches this DOM structure:

<div class="baz">
<div class="foo">
<div class="bar">
...

But the native version matches all of these structures:

<div class="baz">
<div class="foo">
<div class="bar">
...

<div class="foo">
<div class="baz">
<div class="bar">
...

<div class="foo baz">
<div class="bar">
...

Not a criticism at all (the `:is(...)` behavior is a very useful and welcome enhancement to CSS) but a notable difference worth understanding coming from Sass.
Seems very high, yes. My bet most of those are working in compliance/legal stuff. DocuSign is accepted pretty much everywhere.
Yup. And apple is trying to make an OS safe for typical consumers who make mistakes and can be tricked. Hoops for you are a necessary burden to protect them. If you hate them, lots of Linux distros meet your desires. I personally think they are right to not trade off the security of the majority for the convenience of the minority.
> Testable code is inherently more decoupled

I.e. more abstract with more layers.

Exactly the opposite what you want as a startup.

As a startup, your pivot is not going to be switching from MySQL to Postgres. Your pivot is going to be switching from consumer app to business APIs.
Another issue is the ease of cherry picking supporting "facts" to suit one's argument.
Must I explain why people who serve in the US military are much better drivers on average? I’m going to go out on a limb and guess in addition to your perfect driving score, your Tesla is clean as well. I bet you probably agree with a statement like “there is no such thing as an accident”.

It's going to take a long time for tech compensation to recover. Even if the stock market recovers, the wages will be lower.

All the laid off employees will take low compensation somewhere. Every time a good opportunity opens up (1+ year from now), all these low comp people will jump at it, suppressing the wage of that job.

Hard to imagine how long it will take for that effect to disappear, need a stock market boom or low rates again
That announcement seems to be concerned with unofficial clients only. But it does sound like the change is a part of some bigger package.
That actually bugged me so much that I made a script to use the manifest to blow away declared files and dirs

PKGID="${1:-}"

| sed -e 's,^[ \t]*,/,')"

| join_paths_0 "$PKG_ROOT" \
| xargs -0 $dry_run rm -v
pkgutil --only-dirs --files "$PKGID" \
| sort -r \
| join_paths_0 "$PKG_ROOT" \
| xargs -0 $dry_run rmdir

>hmmm, your entire argument appears to be overly focused and convinced on the supposed fact that everyone that holds negative views of a race or people becomes a mass murderer. That's very much not the case

That's not what I've said and you know it. It really seems like you don't actually understand the position you think youre arguing against.
One thing we'd share with any alien species is our perception of the universe, and stars and galaxies are eminently countable, so the development of numbers seems inevitable.

There is the example of the sheepherder who cannot count but ensures all sheep are accounted for by with the bag of pebbles: as the sheep leave the enclosure in the morning, a pebble is placed in the (initially empty) bag; as the sheep return, a pebble is removed for each sheep, and if none are missing, the bag ends up empty. This quickly fails for many issues, such as two sheepherders wishing to discuss the relative size of their flocks, however.

Regardless, an alien species might have started from entirely different premises then numbers. A lot of the images in this article are graphs, node-and-edge constructions, but it's a bit odd that graphical algorithms are a relatively new feature of human mathematics - Dijkstra's algorithm was only described in 1956.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm

What if the ancient Greeks had instead started there, what would mathematics look like today? An alien species might have done so, leading to system in which number theory would be of much less importance than graph theory.
It got way WAY worse with Trump.

Many news organizations happily threw out their journalistic integrity to "fight Trump". Honest reporting became taboo. You were either FOR or AGAINST Trump, and anyone not choosing a side was just secretly on the other side.
I am in both groups. I work in the industry and I am so tired of colleagues wanting to grab or data they can get their grubby hands on and then barely use it at all for anything useful. So many companies collect data just in case.
Textbook one-time pads are trivially malleable. Sometimes non-malleability matters just as much or more than privacy.

Tangentially related: has anyone here tried to figure out what programming language a LLM-based generator would be most successful at writing? Or what language features are necessary for LLM's success at code generation?

I've tried but unfortunately all of my searches return results about languages used for building models (e.g., Python, for some reason).

I figure it'd probably be a typed language with a meaty standard library, good type inference, and high-quality low-code packages that would require fewer generated tokens to do useful work. Or maybe a language with fewer ways to do basic tasks -- if there is somehow only one way to do a thing, then the generator would be most likely to write code using that one way. I'll fully admit that these guesses are naive and based on limited understanding of how LLMs work.
"How to make great pancakes" sadly is not one of the anything to be learned.

From poking around, this site seems to be a pointer-to-resources, rather than a road map of learning. While very useful, it seems like a tactical resource, rather than GPs strategic resources.
