Creating + lending an audiobook should be fine, the same as creating an ebook. As long as only 1 copy is loaned out per physical item owned (can't loan the ebook if someone has the audiobook), I don't see the difference. What if they create a physical braille version and loan that out to blind people? 1-to-1 lending should be acceptable in any case.
Not an expert myself, but I imagine that generating output that expresses confidence would be distinct from any measure of confidence within the inner workings of GPT itself.
No, it talks to the stuff that runs the machinery which was, and likely still is, JDOS (Deere’s home-grown RTOS). There was some interest in moving to a proprietary OS, but I don’t know if that was ever manifest. From what I remember, the only Linux system in ag equipment was the touch screen on the Command Arm, but maybe the guidance stuff also ran Linux?
"right to repair licenses"? GPL was never designed for right to repair, but rather right to extend and modify, i.e. Open Source.
The fed has no power to fix that. If your only tool is a hammer everything looks like a nail.
at some point if you want more resources and have them available with the least latency possible, some sort of pay-to-play market will need to appear

even if the currency is computing resources that you have put into the network before (same is true for bittorrent at scale, but most usage of bittorrent is medium/high latency - which makes the market for low-latency responses not critical in that case)

"Useless?" That's some pretty one-dimensional thinking.
> Also, we seem to be discussing a magical world where BTC became the major currency overnight

True that the thing. Bitcoing is so fundamentally unfit to be a currency that any attempt to make it such would fail long before any of these issues would become relevant.

So take one of the biggest issues with the current system, make it 10+ times worse and see what happens...
But it would break builds for those platforms, and unless the change was marked as breaking, they would be silently incorrect and/or need to go and implement special-casing on the versions in their build systems as the parent comment said.

I think that's a breaking change by most definitions.

Ask HN: Can you download windows 11 ISO file on non-windows machines?
I'm trying to download Windows 11 ISO file from official MS website but keep getting

"We are unable to complete your request at this time. Some users, entities and locations are banned from using this service. For this reason, leveraging anonymous or location hiding technologies when connecting to this service is not generally allowed"

I'm trying to only download the ISO file so that I can create a USB installation stick to install on my HP laptop. It is not that I'm downloading the insider Windows ARM for Mac VM. Just the Windows x86-64 bit ISO file.

I tried different combinations of browsers and UAs with and without VPNs, but still the same thing. I'm using my Mac M1. Furthermore, I contacted MS support via chat, and it was strange to be told that I can only download the Windows 11 ISO file from a Windows machine. I'm not sure if this is true, so I'm asking here to see if that occurs with other people?
Wouldn’t (1) be mitigated somewhat if there was more competition in those sectors? Competition should bring windfall profits back in line, but not when many sectors reflect duopolies or oligopolies.

I think rather than pricing regulation we just need better antitrust enforcement.
Hilarious.

I note it applies to just everything, as long as you have these number of different roles in the added value chain.
> It's not that easy to "present a fingerprint" without compromising the user experience.

And that's exactly what I'm talking about.

Not much can be done about viewport size, but a browser could easily ship with 2 fonts (one serif and one sans serif) and only allow access to those.

Typically removing support for a platform is considered breaking, because users on those platforms can still run the previous versions, but cannot upgrade beyond the point where support was dropped. Very commonly seen in various Node libraries dropping support for old LTS releases coming out of support, for example.
Closest is VRChat, the most excessive users are there from their morning workout, maybe a work meeting, to their evening socialization. Though everyone pretends the game doesn't exist, especially Facebook (too embarrassing to not match such a small team)

Which is why it would be nice for the Supreme Court to confirm GPL's enforceability. It hasn't been tested in courts, but it would be insanely powerful for the open source community to begin enforcing it.

It would extend the right to repair to the software that we write.

A wierd consequence of mutually assured destruction is that you need your adversary to be roughly on par with you. If one side gains a major advantage they may decide to attack knowing that you'll have the worst of it. The weaker side may be more likely to use thier ultimate out of desperation and "nothing left to lose" type thinking.

Further, the way to deal with anti-nuke defenses is to just send more nukes and/or lots of dummies too. Things like iron dome are 90% effective (reportedly, some think that number is too high and has a significant propaganda element)... You dont need a huge success rate for your nukes to be effective. Besides the consequences of a destroyed nuke are not great either, there's still a lot of uranium and plutonium getting dumped into the atmosphere.

If your goal is to end nuclear proliferation, things that increase said proliferation are not ok.
It doesn't. Effectively the architecture spec defines behaviour so that it shouldn't matter what you choose for the text segment starting address, but this implementation's non-standard behaviour means it does matter, because there's a weirdly behaving address range you have to avoid.

If Copilot is making people 30% more productive then obviously they would be seriously worried that it might go away.

Reports vary massively on how useful Copilot is, some people say it makes them 3x as productive whereas others say it just gets in the way, I think 30% is a conservative estimate if you are working with the kind of code that Copilot is good for (front end JS/TS and backend python).
This happens every single time I make a new major release of a piece of software I maintain. There is always some mistake—even a typo in documentation—and it's the tiniest possible mistake, and there is always only exactly one mistake, but it's always enough to bug me so much that I have to make a patch release just to fix the one single mistake.

Some software developers are just cursed.

It probably can do this because each link is a different length, therefore has a different resonant frequency, and the slider can therefore target each one individually by layering each frequency on top of the others like an inverse FFT.

Two anecdotes, plenty of European cities aren't as fortunate, specially in southern countries.

Many cities are only city in name, and in practice more towns aspiring to be cities, specially in southern and eastern Europe.

Here is one anecdote, Portalegre might be a nice city, as Northen Alentejo capital in Portugal, yet those 20 km on average from the neighbouring villages aren't that nice to do on bycicle specially during Summertime with temperatures up to 45 degrees celsius. And if you're thinking about taking a bus, better save money for a taxi, unless you're willing to spend the whole day in the city, as there is only one bus into each direction connecting the neighbouring villages to the city.
Hope this shape is not patented by them.

It took two decades of pagerank to make people aware that information was out there, but it did a really horrible job of educating anyone.

The new Yamaha monitors are reasonably popular but there are way more Rokit monitors out there.

I’ve heard the transient response argument before but I don’t see evidence that it makes the NS10 more useful. People love to look at graphs and jump on whatever makes a particular, popular product unique and use it as an explanation for its popularity. However, the transient response you actually hear will have contributions from room reflections. Any analysis of transient response that considers the speaker itself, but not the whole acoustic system, and doesn’t touch on the sensitivity of the human ear to transient response, is incomplete.
It may just be the ineffable.

4. Try ControlNet, LoRa, different base models, etc, always questioning your outputs - there's something subtlety off about them...

5. Continue to fine tune your prompt, input, masking and editing

Yup, capitalism was much better behaved when it had some real competition. I guess China could maybe play the same role except that it is just too easy to pigeonhole China's experience as foreign and inapplicable to the West.
Yeah that stuck out to me too.

Even if you assume that it's a raw number and is also reflecting increased adoption of automatic transmission it's kind of hard to blame a huge 8x multiple on solely the oil without something else to corroborate it (like sales figures for wet clutch and brake friction parts used in industrial applications which would be subject to the same increased wear if the oil was sub-par).

Transmission fluid isn't special. It's basically just yet another variant of hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic parts of a transmission pretty much never have problems relative to the frequency with which the friction parts simply wear out. So other oil running clutches so see the same increase in failure rate over that time.

Assuming the number itself is accurate OEMs producing designs with additional gears and lockup converters with the bare minimum of refinement (ship now fix later type engineering) in response to the fuel crisis probably deserves some blame.
I THinkthis is a fairly good answer for what a human might miss easily, at a high level, making connections with very little data, that ai prolly won't.!

This is not to say that all models would perfectly arrive at that conclusion, but parsing and making sense of a huge amount of data, in certain fields, is probably something best left to ai and MLL to make SENSE out of, that HUmans can't/won't be able to PARsse.

Working on new, small bits of software often implies that a single commit will be more relevant to the rest of the codebase. The more code there is, the less any one particular line, on average, would matter.

The buck stops at the government, as we are seeing with changing laws to allow Credit Suisse acquisition or by Biden and European representatives statements abou "doing whatever is needed" or similar.
That’s settled by law, not by the actions of the current government. If you want to pin down the source of how the wealthy can retain their wealth, that would be the courts and broader law enforcement. So going this way the wealthy would contribute more to the justice system, while they wouldn’t pay as much for public education, health services, and social welfare? Doesn’t seem like something anyone would want.

If that's the case then I'd assume that the "real" number would be significantly higher, given that Northern europeans leave their parental home at very young age, compared to most of the world.

It sounds like you didn’t find the conservative instance you were looking for, but I’m sure they’re out there.

Here’s the thing though: not all ideas are created equal. You want equal airtime for contrary views, but those contrary views are

1. less popular statistically

2. against the interests of the working class

The alternative worldview to progressivism is basically pro-capital, anti-minority, anti-equality nonsense.

You’re unhappy that progressives hurl insults at regressives, but it should be noted that they are not falling into the trap of the paradox of tolerance.

When one breaks the social contract, they’re no longer under the protections of that contract, and that’s what happens when the regressive ideology sends hate toward the poor, women, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, and other similarly disenfranchised groups.

The alternative to progressive taxation is regressive taxation. The alternative to equal rights is unequal rights. The alternative to workers’ rights are corporations’ rights. The alternative to freedom of religion is theocracy. The alternative to body autonomy is control by others. The alternative to the scientific method is assumption and ignorance. The alternative to environmental protection is environmental destruction. These contrasting ideologies are not of equal value, objectively.

In other words, if I make a statement like “people shouldn’t own slaves” there is no contrary view that should be entertained.

You want someone to tolerate the intolerance of your desired contrary worldview, but again, you should know that it’s not hypocritical for the tolerant and accepting people to not accept your views.
