Well, I sort of agree. A halting, too-strongly-pushed, stopping-at-the-end-of-every-line reading doesn't exactly let the lines sing. But there is an art to reciting iambic pentameter whereby it can attain the naturalness of speech while still retaining that underlying rhythm. When it's done well, you might not even realise they're doing it - until your ear is attuned enough to pick it up.

I really think this is a dying art, by the way. If you see a Shakespeare production, at least here in the UK, the actors older than about sixty are able to imbue the lines with that underpinning iambic rhythm; the younger actors don't know how or don't bother. For me, that means they don't really catch that song-like quality. I really think those older actors might be the last generation to properly know how to scan.

>Some of the best political speeches have that kind of song-like rhythm, although they aren't verse. I'm thinking of e.g. Churchill, or the Gettysburg Address.

Incidentally, somewhere I came across Arthur Quiller-Couch discussing this. He used as his example this speech of Edmund Burke, which he claimed achieved its power by means of hidden iambic pentameter:

>The calculation of profit in all such wars is false. On balancing the account of such wars, ten thousand hogsheads of sugar are purchased at ten thousand times their price. The blood of man should never be shed but to redeem the blood of man. It is well shed for our family, for our friends, for our God, for our country, for our kind. The rest is vanity; the rest is crime.

He points out that three fragments are actually iambic lines:

>Are purchased at ten thousand times their price...
>Be shed but to redeem the blood of man...
>The rest is vanity; the rest is crime.

Of course, this was in a time when the audience's ear (though perhaps not conscious mind) would be better attuned to that rhythm.
Well, both! But for POE specifically, there's a lot of stuff they don't want to expose (the UI, damage numbers, MTX info, etc.)

I wanted to build a better catalog for their MTX (because their shop site is pretty terrible) and was explicitly denied API access even though they already have a public API for it that their site uses. Shrug.

Path of building is great, but AFAIK the formulas used for it are from observations and not an API.
I, as a Linux user, built a similar system myself by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs and then using git on the mounted filesystem.
It seems that you're implying that nodes cannot be synchronized within the time it takes for light to travel between the nodes.

Images both nodes having their own atomic clocks. Now allow them to timestamp transmitted and received messages with very high precision.
Not sure if they’re still a thing in France, but there was an epidemic of humans randomly calling French phone numbers claiming to be DHL or UPS or whoever about “a package being held”. Not even automated calls, actual people (probably in a lower-cost francophone country) doing the calls.
Hey Google, what about finally giving me the access to MusicLM?
For those who do not know, Leap has a yearly release schedule. The most recent release is 15.4 with 15.5 scheduled for early July, i.e. ~2 weeks from now.
Its all on purpose to lock you out of fixing your own car.
IMO, the claimed price is never to cover these so called "testing for requirements", It is a random / maximum amount they can charge basically. Sure they could give you a nice explanation that looks nice on paper, but it is rarely true. It is always the smoke and mirrors bullshit that happens for government contracts.
I probably could have worded that better but my point was that if the pillows hadn't been inflammable then the bomber probably wouldn't have crashed?
There’s a difference between creating your own draw-loop with setTimeout and requesting a CSS animation.

Whether you use requestAnimationFrame which calls your code at every draw step or whether you set a CSS animation directive, you are delegating the animation work to the browser. In either case, the resultant behavior is dependent on browser-code, not your own js. This is very different than setting up your own manual draw loop with setTimeout.
I agree however taking random pieces of a long agreement in isolation is not how you read terms of services. The section you highlight is NOT, for example, the one that talks about what legal rights you give Github regarding your code. Construing it as such and the extrapolating from that is taking a piece of text way out of context.
"accuses" is a clickbait word. Cameron gave a great interview and yes, discussed areas where OceanGate cut corners.
Show HN: Trickster's Table card game app
I've been working on the Trickster's Table app for the past six months or so. It's an app written in Dart/Flutter that lets you can play modern trick taking games against AIs trained using reinforcement learning.

The app currently contains implementations of Boast or Nothing, Yokai Septet (2-player), Potato Man, and (on beta channels) Magic Trick. Here's a Geeklist showing other games I'm planning to add: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/226363/tricksters-table-a...

Certain parts of it are open source, including the most recently added game engine for the game Magic Trick by Chris Wray: https://github.com/dbravender/magictrick and the Monte Carlo Tree Search / Neural Network library it uses: https://github.com/dbravender/dartmcts

Currently, for training the AIs I use this PR against SIMPLE so I don't have to write each game in both Dart and Python: https://github.com/davidADSP/SIMPLE/pull/34

I've got a long list of things to fix and try when it comes to training the AIs (including trying integrating with other frameworks to see how well they perform). Is anyone interested in helping to train AIs or implementing new games? I can check with the designers of some of the existing games or future games to see if they are okay with me sharing the source code for their games.

Even better, the actual in situ delays are measured and compensated for, and it works independent of the physical connection (and through fiber/copper, switch layers, etc.).
That's a big load of bs, man. I'm impressed. Are you gonna charge all of us for the time you spent writing this as well?
They’re probably really good, but there’s no direct and immediate connection to their own bottom line, soooo…

Kinda like I remember a bit Canadian telecom talking big about their big “fraud squad”, but that’s primarily protecting fraud against the company, not its customers.
I've been trying really hard to get into Clojure as a full stack dev, but this has been my experience as well. Building a simple crud app has been a nightmare. I find that:

- The debugger sucks

- There are other tools for debugging like Portal and Flowstorm, but they involve already knowing what the problem was so you can instrument the function and call it with the same arguments

- Java stack traces make the above very hard to do.

- You're a second class citizen if you don't use emacs. Half of Clojure devs are using the EMACS according to a community survey. Calva, the VSCode extension, does lots of automatic setup to make the REPL work, and when it doesn't work, you have no way to fix it. I have to restart the REPL a lot, which I'm told is the opposite experience I should be having. It took me days to set up a project just so my REPL would switch from Clojure to Clojurescript when I evaluate in different files, and everybody I asked about this didn't understand why I would need it because they were all using emacs.

- Complaining about Javascript and React and then having your whole ecosystem wrap around Javascript and React is really obnoxious. Reagent is falling behind in React versions and it's missing out on performance enhancements. If you need to do niche React things, it's a pain in the ass.

- This might just be me, but I used Citrus with Rum and I found it to be the most over abstracted thing I've ever seen in my life. I know it was inspired by re-frame, so maybe re-frame is the same. But it's like Redux X10 in terms of verbosity.

- Call me crazy, but the Java interop is worse than other guest languages because there's huge impedance mismatch between functional and OOP.

- There are very popular broken libraries. People say "It's okay if a library hasn't been updated in 6 years, because Clojure is so stable!." This is a total myth, there have been several flat out broken libraries being recommended in tutorials.

- While people are working on frameworks (Biff, Fulcro), there are no "best choices" for a lot of problems yet and it leads to frustration just trying to make a simple crud app.

The community hasn't been unfriendly or unhelpful, but sometimes it feels like I'm speaking to aliens.
In that case they needn't put this in their ToS. It's strange how people will distrust a company with one hand, then claim their word as reliable evidence (and think they can be stopped by unticking a checkbox) with the other hand. If they wish to deceive you they would do it without telling on themselves

I saw him saying it was an implosion several days ago. I think the media just didn't follow up with him until there was more hard evidence.
If you have a periodic prescription, then that may require the HSA every time you pick up the prescription.
Yes, as long as you implement vesting and clear expectations that people are full time which means entirely committed to the company and it's success.
I had the pleasure of being involved in a software project where the contractor was one of the usual suspects (Raytheon, Lockheed, etc.).

Prior to this, I had no idea why defense projects were so expensive and slow. You have to understand, there are so many levels of negotiation, over the smallest changes imaginable. There's no such thing as "open source code" in these projects, everything is either modified off-the-shelf, or completely boutique stuff, and of course implemented in such a way that the clients (that would be us) can't just access the code themselves, or that clients can just build upon or make wrappers.

The contractor will send you their own techs or engineers - even if it's across the world - to fix the most trivial bugs. And it will take months or planning, budgeting, and what not.

In once instance, one contractor tech spotted a bug in the code, which some user had reported about - it was a one character fix, just a typo, really. So he fixed it on the spot, along with the rest of the stuff he came for.

A couple of weeks later he comes back, and reverses the bug. He had told his manager about the bug fix, and was berated for fixing in. In order to fix that bug, it had to be reported correctly, go through software update meetings, go through budgets, and the whole nine yards.

The bug was reported the correct way, and many months later he came back to fix it (again).

The whole process of specs and updates was like pulling teeth.
I find langchain complicates more than it helps: abstractions are leaky, API is not consistent across components, and it creates overly complex components.

It's too many layers of over-engineered complexity, and it's for underlying components that are changing very rapidly, so you are getting bogged down with out-dated architecture very quickly.
When you're paid millions of dollars its your job to hedge risks.

When you're just a small renter, it's fine for when the handyman doesn't show up the apartment keeps flooding. When you're a 200 unit apartment owner, you better have a list of a dozen handymen that you can go down when the first one doesn't show up.

These banks are the equivalent of the apartment owner. They are expected to be able to survive any decision the FED makes short of the FED shutting them down and even in that case they should have known ahead of time and been working on an appeal.
No, there is no new restriction..

GPL say what rights you have and what Red Hat can sue you for, not what Red Hat need to give you in the future.

You have the right to change and share the sources and Red Hat cannot sue you for that if you choose to do it.

GPL does not say anything about Red Hat giving you access or selling you new versions.

An example, lets say you buy whatever 1.0 under GPL from Red Hat, and they make the sources available.

GPL say that Red Hat cannot sue you for sharing the sources to whatever 1.0, but they will not sell you whatever 2.0 if you do so, and there is nothing in GPL require then to.

The restriction is not on GPL, is in your business relation with Red Hat going forward, and that does not break GPL.
If you want to be proactive about problems you need the political will to create and enforce rules. But nobody votes for rules that make people’s lives worse now, but future generations lives better. You can’t just blame rich people for that.

The political will didn’t exist for pfas back then, and it doesn’t exist for things like water scarcity, or antibiotic resistance, or e-waste today.

Okay, "firing" might be too strong, but that policy of "tolerating mistakes" (as long as it doesn't happen twice and lessons are learned) seems to have created a corporate culture where (if this story is true, and it seems to be confirmed):

- A customer can be mistakenly called a racist

- Their home automation systems they bought and paid for disabled

- Any digital content (Kindle books, Amazon Prime Video purchases, Audible books, etc.) they bought (sorry, "licensed") revoked.

- It takes more than a week to resolve after being provided with clear evidence of the company's mistake. I mean, good grief, at least the manager/executive should have reactivated the customer's account during the review process, but they opted for "guilty until we've taken our sweet time reviewing the evidence and make sure they're innocent".

- After all that, the customer isn't even offered an apology, much less compensation.

This isn't just a "mistakes and failures happen" situation. Failures and mistakes occurred at multiple points in this process and along the decision chain, and apparently no one involved had the common sense to break out of the resulting insanity-loop.
The registration form had a name and an email, and I sent a message similar to the following:

In all these cases you have had to read something that tells you) - which is part of learning.

It is much and quicker to have a course to teach you.

Having courses to teach you is mor efficient otherwise why do we have schools?

However seeing many solutions of code posted on the internet I suspect many have not learnt throughj a course just random reading and picked up bad coding skills. As noted in the first answer here the author of the course is not showing good ideas in some cases, perhaps they shopuld have nbeen on a course to learn CLI.

That just seems like an unfounded hot take. Of course we can explain most of our knowledge, skills, and thoughts in words, that's how we don't lose everything when the next generation comes around lol. It's the core reason we're different from animals.

Now sure you can't describe qualia, but that's basically a subjective artefact of how we sense the world and (to add another unfounded hot take) likely not critical to have an understanding of it on a physical level.

The section cited is the most prominent section in the terms of service regarding private repositories[0]

Everything else in that section relates to personnel (which is not the concern of the commenters here), what happens if you upload copyrighted material and codes of conduct.

Also, taking segments of the TOS is exactly what will happen in a court of law, unless there is another section that invalidates this section, this fragment will be argued as consent.

Additionally; the context of that section is very clear otherwise. Sorry.

The way ToS will be argued is: there are many references to processing information and nothing that explicitly prohibits or cannot be reasonably inferred to inhibit automatic processing, in fact there are many places where they make reference to "automatic processing for services"; You can take that to mean that it's just their SAST scanners, they can take it to mean training of an AI model, there's no distinction legally here.

Startup's Big Battery Can Electrify Your Home and Make the Grid Greener
You may wish to read the paper above. But if you want a quick proof:

1. A thought is a representation of a situation

2. A representation generates entailments of that situation

3. Language is many-to-one translation from these representations to symbols

4. Understanding language is reversing these symbols into thoughts (ie., reprs)

So,

5. If agent A understands sentence X then A forms the relevant representation of X.

6. If agent has a representation it can state entailments of S (eg., counter-facutals).

Now, split X into Xc = "canonical descriptions of S" and trivial permutations Xp.

(st. distribution of Xc,Xp is low, but the tokens of Xp are common)

Form entailments of X, say Y -- sentences that are cannonically implied by the truth of X.

7. If the LLM understood that X entails Y, it would be via constructing the repr S -- which entails S regardless of which sentence in X was used.

8. Train an LLM on Xc and it's accuracy on judging Y entailed by Xp is random.

9. Since using Xp sentences cause it to fail, it does not predict Y via S.

QED.

And we can say,

1. Appearing to judge Y entailed-by X is possible via simple sampling of (X, Y) in historical cases.
2. LLMs are just such a sampling.

so,

3. +Inference to the best explanation:

4. LLMs sample historical cases rather than form representations.

Incidentally, "sampling of historical cases" is already something we knew -- so this entire argument is basically unnecessary. And only necessary because PhDs have been turned into start-up hype men.

Moved where I'm at a few years back to be close to extended family. Moving elsewhere within the country wouldn't really net me many more opportunities (expect maybe for middle management roles).

I think they're probably correct, actually.

As written, yes, this is not a GPL violation, they're not directly stopping you from redistributing what you were given, they're just choosing to not do future business with you.

In practice, judges often really hate people trying to do cute end runs around the intent of things, particularly anything that's more than a handshake, like a license.

I would suspect they're betting heavily on nobody being big enough to be willing to try suing IBM-sized legal departments, and settling without losing the ability to argue this is valid if they're wrong.
I’m sorry but it’s more than the left. Even right and centrists people who were ok with the retirement reform are saying that they don’t accept how it have been forced on the parliament.

It was one of the most important and most protested reform of the last decades and the president / government used every constitutional breach they could to avoid any vote from people's representatives.

Charles de Courson, who tried to force the vote by proposing an abrogation of the law to the parliament is not really a leftist, he was even going to vote himself in favor of the reform.

We, the French, elected a parliament where Macron didn’t have the absolute majority and Macron tries everything he can to avoid the parliament when he know he will not have enough votes. It’s a democracy crisis wether you are from the left or from the right because Macron is interpreting the constitution like he can dismissal the parliament when he wants although most French didn’t vote for his party.
