Surely this book is protected by copyright still? Did CIA just ignore it maybe because of the author? I don't really see them seeking permission from Chomsky or his publishers here.
Cool project! I'm a jazz musician / software engineer and have been building a similar personal project in my free time, writing a deterministic algorithm to perform harmonic analysis on popular standards, with the end goal of having an interface that could suggest chord substitutions to the user. I'm also looking at indexing all the tunes so the user can fuzzy search for tunes with similar chord progressions.

I'm curious to see how well you think the GPT solution works for you (I'm having trouble trying it because I'm so far back in the queue. Congrats on all the traffic!) My suspicion is that it would struggle to capture more nuanced substitutions, because it doesn't really have the underlying context (things like harmonic tendencies of individual notes and voice leading) to draw from but I've been surprised before. Hope I can try it next week!
That's a very good question.

At the moment the main diversification is about using Notion as the data for training (along with sitemap.xml and PDFs).

I'll probably get a better idea by talking to the users.

Competition is high, but I think there's a space for every product, and if those already present are successful, it means that the product is already validated.
> Functions that return types wrapping int instead of raw ints are a good thing. Error codes in particular really should be something enum like and not 32 bits of best of luck.

That's not what I described. I was talking about numbers without special meaning, and with types which require manual implementation of any conversion. One function might return a container whose length() function returns a wrapped integer, and a different container with the same function name returns a different wrapper. You can't combine those wrappers without explicitly defining a conversion. That's what inconsistency in return types means.

> In contrast, having some containers call it size and others call it length is indeed moderately unhelpful.

And now imagine it's not just two options, but literally every container returned by every function being special. That's what it means to be inconsistent. But as you can see in your example - even small bits of inconsistency (1 bit, if you want) are annoying and unhelpful.

A copyright strike does require the claimant to submit a valid DMCA complaint.

If a creator wants to ignore the YouTube's copyright strike system entirely, and YouTube will get rid of the strike, but that also means that you're accepting the legal liability instead of YouTube.
Thanks.

Yes, `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: app.tabserve.dev` is correct, app.tabserve.dev is the origin where the fetch requests are made to your localhost.
I haven't used OneDrive but the iCloud Drive and Google Drive clients are similarly terrible. I one time had 5 GB of complex nested file structure in iCloud Drive and it totally froze up. I tried 2 different Mac's, an iPhone, and an iPad and none of them were able to sync up with the server to get those 5 GB out of the cloud. I had to request a GDPR to get a .zip file of my data... this was the impetus for me to switch to Dropbox although after the way they handled their layoffs I am looking to switch to Syncthing as soon as I have the time to set it up and get familiar.
>Due to the attack volume, a large number of processing nodes had to be brought online at the same time. Each of these nodes require a small amount of metadata that gets pulled from a central database

This is pretty interesting. Doesn't seem like the right scale for a small amount of metadata to topple over a DB. That's a pretty small load even if we're talking thousands of nodes.

Rules are fine, but there needs to be a self-sustaining enforcement program.
This was actually something that my course (one of the first computer engineering degrees in Portugal) struggled with back in 1994.

Engineering guilds (and governments) are simply not able to cope with the concept of software being critical, but the key thing at the time was that software engineering was not even acknowledged as “engineering” by the local Engineering guild (which was stuck in a loop around the physicality of civil, electronics and mechanical engineering).

They still haven’t figured it all out.

This Timeline of Events a bit scares me. It looks like, if someone hadn't decided to stop DDOS, deno would still had problems. I would expect to cut off all DDOS traffic on some gateway level, or so.
That wasn't enough - I had to shut down the X server to install the driver properly.
I make software that runs on Linux exclusively for a living. I know very well how Linux works. It is still necessary to run stuff from the terminal from time to time. Even on user-friendly distros like Steam OS - some games will require some tinkering - but they run flawlessly on Windows.

And another thing. I could not get Thunderbolt working on Linux at all. It worked just fine on Windows on that same laptop.
Just hopefully Google does not follow the Reddit and Twitter train.

Under the Sonny Bono Act in the US corporate copyrights were extended beyond 100 years. The original US Copyright Act was limited to 14 years, and allowed a single renewal of the same length. After that, public domain. The short term goal was to provide authors with some income during the term, but with the ultimate purpose of enriching the commons to benefit the public. "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." US CONST, Art I, Sec 8, Cl 8. It could be argued that copyright copyright terms of over a century, especially during a particularly dynamic period in world history such as ours, no longer serve that purpose. As you point out, the end result of the current regime is the debasement of any real practical value many works would otherwise have. All that will be left are the cold entries in whatever royalty ledgers survive.
Good question!

It's important to reduce hallucinations, and with a good prompt it's possible to reduce them.

You basically tell the LLM to avoid answering if the context is not enough.

So, most of the time the Chatbot will correctly reply, and that's already a big advantage.

With Userdesk you can supervise the conversations, and the Chat widget automatically asks for the email of the user, so you can always provide support via the live chat or email later on.
Or homeless and the interviewer is a homelessphobe. Trying to be additive to the sentiment, not take anything away.

I've stopped interviewing for corporate jobs until I can get my money up. Probably an easier hurdle to overcome in some ways, since I can pay my homeless away with temp jobs and have a clear path to acceptance: nice shoes and clothes, reliable phone service, a presentable and quiet place for video calls.

There is a real cost to each interview, otherwise it'd be easier to just keep doing them and count each instance of discrimination as a data point and assistance in helping us avoid an environment that isn't a fit.

A funny thing is that people used to think I was gay because I presented myself a little too well and was a little too gentle in my attitude or something. Now I'm out here doing construction demolition and I'm a little too rugged looking to make my old friends comfortable.

Best wishes to everyone who has a hard time finding an environment where they fit.

I think your objection is key to understanding Socrates' denial of "weakness of will" (Protagoras 358d), an idea that Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics actually supports (book seven - 1174b-15).

Maybe norms are ultimately guidelines to the good life for groups of people based on past experience, but they can't possibly account for every contingency of any particular existence.

Btw I don't think the idea is to justify any behavior, but to establish that from a rational perspective everybody is making decisions based on what seems right at the moment.

True, in a way. It would be lovely if the internet's global sewer of anonymity-empowered criminals, trolls, etc., etc., ad nauseam could somehow be cleaned up and held to account. :(

But while we are waiting for that, the cure for cancer, and faster-than-light travel - fixing up a fair number of local police forces seems like a worthwhile and realistic goal in itself.
It's not like this kind of stuff can't be found by reverse engineering. For Windows specifically, the ReactOS team is doing lots of it to document the inner workings of internal Windows APIs so they could reimplement them.

Your analogy happens quite often. Not specifically with Zoho, but if a specific domain is sending spam, your email provider will usually block it at the spam filtering end of it.
In general I agree, but I rather remember The Witcher 3 for the story and atmosphere, than for the graphics. Likewise Senuas Sacrifice - it pushed the limit for psychological games(the game is about processing loss through a psychosis, so it is not a casual game). In either case, both titles are really worth it.
Github is likely to be actively cooperating. They normally seek to remove such content; it's against the terms of service.
Yeah I'm in Ireland, mostly applying to consumer tech companies run out of the US, so quite different.

That being said, a lot of my roles have come through external recruiters so maybe that's what saves me.

It's odd that Ireland wouldn't see the same spamming though, given that we're an English speaking country with lots of tech roles.
VUDA: A Vulkan Implementation of CUDA
I'm astonished that the Memmy app is this good after just a week or two of development. Very curious how the dev will monetise eventually; as far as I know, they don't have significant overhead costs beyond an Apple developer account and their own dev work. Ought to end up somewhere like Apollo.
interesting discourse around this and ads in general, from people on both sides of the equation. a lot of creator sided things are bunch of bs from what i've experienced myself.

while the public perception with popular channel is that they're making bank (in general), many professional channels are using in-video ads to make the most money. so it is very naive to use that card. not to forget that probably 90+ percent videos don't belong to people receiving the ad revenue through the program.

there was a point about people taking "free" content on the internet for granted. in the current web ecosystem where tracking has carried the platforms for so long, it is not like paying for youtube will get rid of all that. pretty funny how they want it both ways with monetization.

on mobile, youtube has already been twitch-level obnoxious with countering adblock efforts, with large banner ads right below the video and sometimes 20 seconds unskippable ads for a short 40 seconds video.

in terms of running costs, etc, they've already been reducing video quality despite having a fast connection. the culmulation of the above points pushes me away from paying them a single penny out of principle.

Exactly. There is no magic trustable non-local/distributed system that replaces 'self-hosted' for this purpose.

All that is needed is a to create your local identity (e.g. like storing fingerprint biometrics on your laptop) and a clever way to sync between physical devices (e.g. through bluetooth).

We're in this weird situation where people don't want to be responsible for managing their own data/id, but can't trust others to do so for them.
The client itself is likely to be more secure than other reverse proxy CLI's as it is inside your browser sandbox. CLI's have access to all your files.

You would take the same precautions as putting any other web server on the web - you might want to use a password or a hard to guess subdomain if you do not want others to access it. But I would assume you would be using test data in your dev environment.

The Cloudflare WAF (Web Application Firewall) also blocks requests to your web server. I think that is just DDOS protection.
These companies are doing well and making billions. We can assume that we will see more similar ones, as long as users still use their products in similar situations.

If you truly believe that factoring race into college admissions is absolutely shameful, then you can’t also believe SCOTUS was effective in this decision. As Harvard’s response to the opinion demonstrates, there’s an obvious loophole—colleges are allowed to take into account mentions of a student’s experience of their race in the admissions essay.

Oh, please. Have you never read the little insert that's packed in with all prescription medicine? Whether the mechanism is fully understood or not, it's at least been studied and demonstrated to have some benefit, and has _specific_ warnings about the ways it's been seen to harm people and how often.

Unless you're referring to the scam-filled supplements aisle, in which case I agree wholeheartedly with your comparison.
Prediction markets, sports betting, poker as well as ramping up personal expenditure on stuff and experiences.

I am so done with all the stuff which requires other people to think you are right in order to make a profit. That's not business anymore, it's politics. And I hate politics.

I'm tired of having to predict millions of variables that even if you get right for some miracle from above you could still be screwed up by the market because other people aren't seeing them or they are staying irrational more than you can stay solvent.

With prediction markets, sports betting and poker at least you have a finite number of variables and a finite number of enemies. You have to predict events with a finite date or duels on the court/pitch/track or the hands of other people and their tells. The more controversial your take, the higher the profit, and there is a moment set in stone for the showdown.

Spending money on stuff also brings in a profit especially if you have peculiar tastes and know where to look for the best deals for stuff. For example the vast majority of people book their vacations after they see a catalogue or an ad, so they all end up in the same place. I decided that from here on I will book my vacations using Google Earth. Finding the type of landscape that I like using Google Earth and from there compute how to travel there. I have found that in the vast majority of the cases you get to save a lot of money and a lot of miles (e.g. if you like tropical caves fly/drive to Mexico instead of having to go all the way across the world to Thailand)

That opens a whole new concept that in my opinion very few people understand, making money is just one part of the equation, the other is to avoid getting screwed of your hard earned money when you go and convert money into stuff and experiences which is something that sooner or later you'd have to do unless your goal is to be the richest guy in the cemetery.

Waiting for go1.21: Execution Tracing with < 1% Overhead
> Asian Americans, the group whom the suit was supposedly about, have been oddly absent from the conversations that have followed the ruling.

This isn’t true from what I’ve seen. The major talking point was “this is great for asians!”

Which I think is a problematic take. This ruling is precisely NOT about giving people “their due” based off their race. Why not also say “this is great news for whites!” Ostensibly because people dont think whites “need” it but doleing out favor based off a supposed “need” by race is the problem.

This is good for absolutely everyone. No one actually benefits from institutionalized racism.
How do you know your companies haven't gotten spammed? If you come through human recruiters then you bypass any automated filtering system.
