I'm one the verge. I switched all my secondary devices to Linux and all of a sudden, I hardly heard fans running any more.

I literally had enough with Russian roulette like Windows Update, all kinds of spyware for a long time but it's really really hard to find substitution for some of the stuffs I use also the drives were not that good on Linux.
Cali is a nanny state. The government has set the example and now some of its constituents feel empowered to do the same because Save The Children.
What if we want to rather use that increase in disk space, bandwidth, computation power to show 8K (high resolution) 3D (more than 2D data) 360 (different viewpoints / interactivity) videos (animated in time) instead of little 2D static images ?

I think we'll care more about increase in quality vs. those little cost : disk space is on shared servers / cloud computing, bandwidth is getting better and better, computation power is also increasing all the time and with new methods of doing computation like GPU, Chiplet / SoC / one-task-chip or simply more efficient CPUs etc.
The internet allows you to corroborate alleged facts by looking at further sources, following references, etc. Or when you end up not finding anything useful that substantiates what you’re looking for, that can serve as a conclusion as well. You get a feeling for it after a while. ChatGPT by itself however can usually only serve as a starting point. It doesn’t allow you to reach the same level of confidence that a googling session can. I would say they complement each other. But if given the choice of only being allowed to use one of the two, I would opt for the search engine.

Dilute your cofounder to basically nothing and get yourself some preferreds as part of the debt raise.

It sucks but they’re no longer contributing and are a massive drag on the cap table.

I’d also get some generous equity for the COO if you’re going to hand it off to them. Tie it to the performance incentives you know the company needs to hit to be a success.
Performance effects of architectural complexity in the Intel 432
seeing many comments suggesting sticking with linux. as someone who's used both, i like how many linux users are happy to jump the hoops in their favourite distro for any technical issue but refuse to do it in windows whenever it affects your privacy.

windows sucks, but when your work requires non-foss stuff, odds are that you are stuck with using it. tinfoilers can go full foss on their computer, down to the bios, but still have to access internet resources that don't respect your privacy. you really have to go out of your way to preserve your privacy in today's day and age.

just have the same level of expectations between all the options.
Hackers breach Tesla Model 3's infotainment system in minutes in competition
In all fairness, Paris seems to be the one big city which is strongly reducing cars and consequently creates room for bicycles.
I think what you say is true: either they train on any open sourced code with fair use, no matter if it was published on github or anywhere, and ignoring the license, OR they trained on data that is potentially not complying with their ToS (e.g. uploaded by someone that is not the author, regardless of license, they couldn't legally agree to a ToS that gives away additional rights of the work).

However, the reality is that this is all extremely muddy, far from proving that software A has copied some code from software B where you can just compare the source code. There are too many muddy steps, and you can bet that Microsoft will just get away with it.
That is just wrong? Most of them have "3k" or "4k+" displays, aka more than macs. Heck, my 5year old Thinkpad has a 2560x1440 500 nit display. You can get 1080p as an option, but why do you want to?

It also has a very nice glass track pad, which as far as hardware is concerned is arguably better than the mac one. The difference is software support, which is better on Mac.
What's interesting about the two photos on your blog is a lack of a lock. The scooters and bicycles where I am (SF) have a lock so they're locked to a bike rack while waiting, which prevents some classes of vandalizing. We had a problem with pedicab drivers dumping the scooters into the bay because of the competition they posed to their business. I think the photo requirement's largely solved the issue, along with the fact that people have adjusted to the change.

When the scooters first came on the scene there was a lot of gnashing of teeth, the strangest position were the vandals who would see a well parked scooter, kick it over, causing it to be across the sidewalk, and then go around complaining about the scooters being in the way. Anyway the furor has largely calmed down, who knows what exactly did it, but I suspect a large piece of it is simply people hating change and now they've come to accept it, and even use them sometimes.
> I'm happy to accept the scooter menace if it means fewer cars on the road. And given how much of a nightmare traffic is in Paris, I'm surprised that Parisians don't seem to agree.

The Parisians were not asked about cars in this poll.

Parisians are less and less car owners as street parking space is being reduced and private parkings are costly.
The article complains about reliability...

But the header photo shows a starlink device with trees that are clearly within the 25 degrees above the horizon 'must-be-clear' zone.

I suspect OP's reliability issues are self inflicted by not mounting starlink on a post to avoid trees in the signal path...
> These tools are useful now

Guns are also useful tools because you can take them into a store and get things for free as a result. But that doesn't make okay to do.
I have read several stories that Gen-Z students often have serious issues understanding the concepts of files and directories. Their main way of interacting with such things is through "sharing" and links to Google Docs and whatever.
Not to mention NL is like a blip on the world map as compared to AU on size..:)
I’m confused about what group of people you’re wanting to offer this to. The Russians who already left Russia to dodge the draft probably don’t need help leaving Russia.

The people critical of Putin and who are in Russia, and the people who don’t want to be a part of the war and who are in Russia would probably appreciate being able to more easily leave.

What do you mean when you say “vulnerable?” Is it just verbal flourish?
What good would digital AM do here? Instead of an analog channel filled with engine noise you'd have a bitstream with a high error rate. Neither one is letting your signal through.

And 100 channels? There are 4484 AM licenses in the US, 6686 FM commercial, and 4207 FM non-commercial. (https://www.fcc.gov/media/broadcast-station-totals) That would completely eliminate the last struggling bit of local media ownership.
One of the books they mention looks pretty cool - The Declassification Engine by Matthew Connelly.

They probably cut a part of the revenue with negative margin.
So if may summarize your question :

What is it with people who have an absolute definition of truth, people who think truth is something that has been revealed/given to them rather something to be found by questioning the world, people who think the world outside of their community is at best misguided if not evil, what is it with them that make them so intolerant ?

Who knows ?
When Alt+a looks the same as Esc+a, then the program has to wait biefly after it sees you press Esc - the continuation could mean it's really Alt+a you want to send.

That latency interferes just with a plain Esc key press. There's no weird use case in this.
I agree with much of this. Take the question to the investors and board, ie that your personal upside is being cratered and everyone is going to be pulling in different ditections.

If you have done and are doing a good job then everyone should want to put the right incentive plan in front of you.

Maybe you have to own the fact that valuations are down and the financing structure isn’t optimal, there is not really anyone to blame for that and a drop from the 20s to the 10s might be something you need to take on the chin. It’s still a good chunk of change.

Could you also look at pulling a some liquidity out during the next fund raise, with the above context set out. Most investors would appreciate the value of giving you some liquidity if you are still the guy to run it.
Not sure why'd you get a COO with big fat compensation with only 6 months runway left

You can look into alternative funding venues like Crowd Funding, but given the market conditions looks like you should aim at becoming cash flow neutral at least within a short period of time
It shouldn't be, because every bit of upwards pressure towards the exit is compensated by the same amount of downwards pressure on the path before. I'm surprised there is that much static resistance in the maze.
Depends on your use case.

We just use it to remove shows as they start to annoy us. Not to pre-emptively control what the kid watches.
Optimizing for a metric that benefits all of humanity is not stunting technological improvements. It’s improving in a direction that makes human-sense instead of some other kind of sense.

Also, renewable energy doesn’t mean infinite/limitless energy. It often means there are more limitations than non-renewable counterparts. Eg: storing energy is still not a solved problem without really toxic (environmentally and politically) materials.
Most scooter-haters don't differentiate between personally owned scooters and rental scooters, and personally-owned scooters (likely to be better maintained, more sensibly driven, and not abandoned in the street) will get caught up in the bans.
Just look at Android phones. I really believe that if Linux was dominant what would end up being shipped on these computers would be entirely filled with random crap that someone paid to be there.
I was just reading an article about how incredibly fast and reliable starlink connection is /s
It would be simulating causality. If you had a water maze that was large enough - with enough gates, switches, and circuits - then it would be turing complete and simulate its own universe. But the more likely scenario is that it doesn't compile into anything. The point is, given enough time, and space (it's going to be one large maze) it's capable of applying the same rules of causality, and calculating the same math across all universes. That said, if your quarks and neutrinos blip in and out of existence, you can blame it on the turbulent water maze(s) higher in our simulation stack. :)
What would you do?

Remember, there’s really only two options: run a service in a country and abide by the law and norms of that country, or don’t run a service in that country (ie IP geoblock the entire place).

I mean, sure, you can run a service that abides by the law but not the norms (eg Onlyfans is available in the US despite the US being a country founded by prudes), but it’s hard and you need your full focus to get it just right. And, worse yet, in China the border between law and norms is notoriously blurred.

I’m for freedom of speech and against Chairman Xi, but I can’t really fault the Midjourney team for choosing to operate in China regardless. It’s a hard choice and there are no right answers.
Arduino's difference was never their hardware manufacture. And cheaper clones did not contribute so much on their relevance collapse. It was their lack of advancement. Their competitors improved with things like 32bit Controllers, Wifi or other communication and integration options. On the other side of the spectrup rPI also made availble a much more powerful development platform for the same price and I would say better quality.

The Arduino Idea to make device prototyping easier and cheaper flourished. It was a success and clones helped in that.
> If the AI is regurgitating GPL code as-is, then that's a problem- not dissimilar to a student or employee regurgitating the same code.

Not "if". We know it does.

And since it doesn't show citations, it might be the case that you use and mistakenly end up making your entire software GPL, because of including copy pasted GPL software.
> So how does this newfound capital help that mission?

Again, as soon as we jump to the "so...", we are already past the point that I was taking offense with. I myself listed a few options from where to take this and you added a few more. Fair enough and entirely fine with me.

This is the point:

> Commercializing OpenAI was for one reason: to enrich the people commercializing it. Not to benefit society, and with nary a thought given to the consequences.

Making bad faith statements about someone without even rebutting the stated intent of the accuse, or even putting in the effort to learn about the intent, is just so incredibly lame and bad style.

Imagine saying this to someones face: "You made this business for one reason alone: To enrich yourself personally, you absolutely do not care about benefitting society, and you don't give a fuck about the damage it might do." Would you think it really be okay to advance this to the accusse, before even bothering to find or hear an explanation regarding the issue you are taking such strong offense with? Just an inkling of what their explanation is without you assuming it for them, as a matter of human decency?

If we cut out the option for people to explain themselves or reason on basis of their explanation, what are we doing other than advancing populism? I really want to believe this place can not be that.

(I want to add, that I have 0 allegiance or interesting opinions about Sama. In the past I found some of their takes interesting, but for me that's just normal, when I listen to a decently smart person for the first time, even if I end up disagreeing with most of their values.)
vulnerable as in "prone to defenestration"
I already gave up on "The Year of Desktop Linux" around the time Windows 7 came out, and VMWare/Virtual Box were good enough to run it.

And in what concerns WebOS, Android and ChromeOS, if it is Linux kernel, BSD, Fuchsia or whatever powering Chrome and Android Runtime, I couldn't care less.
The site is more readable if you remove the min-width CSS from the body and content -- it is set for content wider than a HD screen at 1500px. Or at least set it to something like 800px.

I tend to have my browser at 50% width split with another window, and the text goes off the screen making it so I have to scroll left/right to read the text.

Without the min-width it is perfectly readable. The images could also benefit from having the width set to 100% so they scale with the page width instead of being clipped on smaller devices/windows.
Not a bad question, though a difficult concept to measure in reality.

We can estimate the emissions caused by crypto-currency as that is almost entirely CPU-bound by about the same amount (or an easy to estimate average) per unit. The costs of transmission and storage are going to be relatively minor.

For images the compression cost, while the process is similarly CPU-bound, is pretty small unless you are doing something small like compressing to hundreds/thousands of algorithm/parameter combinations and picking the best result (perhaps by some heuristic more complex than final file size). Also transmission and strorage costs are difficult to estimate because for any given image how do you guestimate how many times it will move and be copied?

Having said that, the article's statement that: “[as] bandwidth savings from overly lossy image codecs will become meaningless, [] the CPU/user time and battery or grid energy spent on complex decompression steps will be wasted.” implies that energy use is at least a coincidental consideration here. Though image quality is by far the primary concern, and that despite being subjective is probably an easier metric to measure in this case, with compression time likely to be ahead of energy use too.

Extremely impressive. Meanwhile, I'm struggling to get the text aligned inside this blasted <div> tag...
> Does enabling to run LLMs at home really strengthen democracy?

Well, I can't speak about strengthening democracy for sure, but what I see is that AI will become a significant means of digital production, and we wouldn't want those means to be in the hands of a few people.

> but it potentially enables AI to run on any device with a low footprint for surveillance purposes as well,

Yes, a low barrier for inference cuts both ways. That is a risk.
Are prices that different in the US? An M2 MacBook air starts at 1500€ here (more than double of your price) and that is with the infamously crippled storage and just 8gb ram. Fix both and the price is 2000€. It no doubt is a nice machine, but at 2000 that is to be expected.
I recently got into CNC machining, so tried searching twitter to find some accounts to follow. boy was i surprised by that #cnc hashtag.
Robbing people does not benefit anyone but yourself. This is a terrible analogy.

Basically, the originally justification was that stuff like farm trucks shouldn't be burdened by extra regulations. Public choice theory explains where it went from there.

I'm a strong adherent of electric transportation, having recently upgraded from an electric moped to an electric motorbike.

I've also used these rental scooters all over my city (Vienna, Austria) to get around and I find them very convenient when, in a pinch, the excellent public transportation doesn't work out.

That said, I think there is a major modification required to these devices that will radically decrease the accidents: they need to make a sound.

Seriously, riding an electric vehicle is one of the most pleasant, enjoyable experiences around - but getting hit by one is easily one of the worst surprises imaginable. Every week, I count the number of people I could've hit full-force with my electric motorbike, if I hadn't been paying EXTRA attention to the street - on average I have one to three near-misses every week. I don't blame the pedestrian - after all, I'm keeping EXTRA attention for them, since I know my weakness: I am silent as heck in a city full of pedestrians whose survival skills have been honed on hearing whats around the corner.

Those days are over. We need speedo-synthesizers now. I've half-considered writing one myself (synthesizers are my thing) but I'm pretty sure its something that needs to be so reliable that it has to be built into the OS.

I wish Apple would address this. It'd be so much safer on the roads if we had great sound design alerting pedestrians to the hooning idiot coming around the corner. And thats the issue with these electric scooters - too often they are being operated by idiots. And yes, I class anyone riding a scooter without at least a bike helmet on, to be a full idiot.

tl;dr - Scooter companies need to start hiring sound-designers to keep ignorant pedestrians on the pavement before they get demolished by the silent, excellent transportation options hitting the scene ..

The Mullvad Browser
I can take the things I stole and sell them to other people, which is exactly what Github is doing here.
I find this especially surprising because line 2 may be exactly the reason why line 5 is unreachable. E.g. if puts("A") contractually throws an exception you cannot just remove it.

What am I missing in this example?
You occasionally see some discourse, but generally that's fairly far down the list of priorities of Asian or Asian-American women themselves. There was more discourse in the Anglosphere about the anti-Asian mass shootings. Tends to get subsumed into generic pro/anti porn discourse. I suspect the discourse from Japanese women themselves is conducted in Japanese and therefore invisible to us.

I don't think in a professional DEI environment you'd get a pass for having a fetishy anime desktop background.
In the Java world there is also the debate between Maven (more declarative) and Gradle (less declarative, but also tries to pass as declarative), and the same conclusion is always reached: Maven make it very difficult to do complex things, therefore Maven builds tend to be very simple (sometimes lacking obvious features because of that) while Gradle projects tend to become utterly complex as it's just easy to use Groovy or Kotlin to create whatever mess you need the build to do... my argument to defend Gradle when this is pointed out is that if the build is doing intrinsically complex things, having a proper language to manage that complexity is the only sensible solution: people writing these builds are professional developers, if they can't keep complexity under control using a fully featured programming language, then they are just not very good professionals.
I think AI is here to stay (obviously) but we do need a much better permission model regarding content, whether this is the writing on your blog, your digital art, your open source code, video, audio...all of it.

The current model basically says that as soon as you publish something, others can pretty much do with it as they please under the disguise of "fair use", an aggressive ToS, the like.

I stand by the author that the current model is parasitic. You take the sum of human-produced labor, knowledge and intelligence without permission or compensation, centralize this with tech about 2 companies have or can afford, and then monetize it. Worse, in a way that never even attributes or refers to the original content.

Half-quitting Github will not do anything, instead we need legal reform in this age of AI.

We need training permission control as none of today's licenses were designed with AI in mind. The default should be no permission where authors can opt-in per account and/or per piece of content. No content platform's ToS should be able to override this permission with a catch-all clause, it should be truly free consent.

Ideally, we'd include monetization options where conditional consent is given based on revenue sharing. I realize that this is a less practical idea as there's still no simple internet payment infrastructure, AI companies likely will have enough non-paid content to train, plus it doesn't solve the problem of them having deep pockets to afford such content, thus they keep their centralization benefits. The more likely outcome is that content producers increasingly withdraw into closed paid platforms as the open web is just too damn hostile.

I find none of this to be anti-AI, it's pro-human and pro-creator.
While this is a pretty harsh take, I can't help but to feel that articles like "Software below the poverty line" support at least aspects of it: https://staltz.com/software-below-the-poverty-line.html
Don't worry. If Linux ever comes popular in Desktops it will end exactly same place, or probably beyond as anyone doing the customization probably knowns enough to be more dangerous and nothing prevents those changes...

Just look at many Android phones and how something like Facebook can't even be permanently removed...
