You asking me how I learn is the very problem, in fact. When the consequences of being wrong are basically zero, the incentives are not aligned for me to provide you with anything resembling quality.

I would disagree.

I use it for code and it comes up with unique solutions to my situations that certainly have not been seen before in its training dataset.

When you inform it you are using a 3rd party UI component library, a 3rd party CSS library, and you need to alter the layout based on the current complex state of an Angular system, and it can provide HTML, CSS, and TypeScript code that works and is based on this unique arrangement in this system, I'd say that's reasoning on some level.

It's not copying and pasting from StackOverflow. It has to "understand" the scenario and implement it using my guidelines.

It will even take into account things like linting rules ("Never use the 'any' type") and it can do that too.
I reimplemented async, except that the event loop is only invoked explicitly and under the programmer's control.

I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but it is.

McKinsey Alumni Outperform Others in Founding VC-Backed Healthcare Startups
Recent data challenges Vinod Khosla's claim that working at McKinsey might be a waste of time.

In fact, McKinsey alumni are leading in venture-backed business creation, especially in the Healthcare sector, even outpacing tech giants like Google and Microsoft in other sectors.
Realistically, nobody is working with CSVs so small that they fit within ChatGPT's window. I've helped friends and faily use ChatGPT to generate a python script that did what they wanted with CSV, and they all started with attempting to paste a ~x00 line CSV in the chat.
I feel the same way too, but I have to ask myself, why do I deserve a search engine to automatically index my content and then show it to others without my having to give anything in return? Let's say I actually wrote something of value, put an ad next to it, and it generated a hundred thousand organic search views. Those 100k views were basically given to me for free by a search engine. Do I owe them anything for that?
Even better better just <html src="" /> or even <div src="" />

Functionality should be considered based on potential utility. Not sure what politics are involved at the w3c, but if it's not that, then maybe it's their philosophy and approach that has them not going for that which is most useful.

I'm reminded of Stephen Covey's Circle of Concern (everything you give you attention to) and the Circle of Influence (inside the CoC, everything you could have an effect on).

He says effective people focus their energy on their Circle of Influence. Many people waste their time giving their attention to things they can't reasonably control, e.g. other people reactions, the news, national sports.

With a headline like that, I expect an article citing various sources and experts, not a book summary. As it stands it's mostly an opinion piece.

I'm not sure I see it the same way.

Maintaining open-source software requires time. There is an opportunity cost, and people (unfortunately) need to feed their families, pay their rent, and so on. The problem here is that the developer faces a choice: continue working on a piece of software that makes things better for thousands (or tens of thousands) of companies and individuals, or put that time towards something that benefits him and his family directly and ensures that they can continue to survive and thrive in a capital-based society.

If he moved libjpeg-turbo to paid software (not that I expect that's possible) then I'm sure a lot of companies would pay for it, and a lot of open-source projects (or smaller companies) would be forced to stop using it. That's not good for anyone (except the developer).

I think the thing to consider is this: if everyone who's ever saved at least two dollars on time, bandwidth, CPU power consumption, cloud compute costs, or any other factor gave him one of those dollars, he'd be set for life. He could make libjpeg-turbo his full-time job indefinitely.

He's not asking for a six-figure salary, but it's difficult to look at a project that you're spending time and effort on that's saving other people such huge amounts of money and compare that to the meagre amounts anyone is willing to contribute for it and to consider that a worthwhile tradeoff.

In the end, he's making that choice: he's going to spend time doing something else. He doesn't come across as feeling entitled (his argument that open-source software should be more funded/appreciated than it is doesn't seem to be in debate), he's just faced with a choice and he's letting people know ahead of time what choice he made.
The lone summary problem
The hardware companies still made heavy use of intellectual property. IBM mainframes were heavily patented. The manuals they shipped with were copyrighted. The software was just mostly seen as an implementation detail and its value independent of hardware hadn’t occurred to most people yet.

Also, like it not, companies like Microsoft drove the tech industry forward during the eighties and nineties because of them creating an industry where software has its own monetary value independent of the hardware it ships with.

Even open source as we know it would not exist without intellectual property laws. The GPL and similar licenses are only enforceable because of copyright.
Wouldn't a better way to deal with extension takeovers B to just turn off the extension instead of blocking the extension from certain websites? Especially since, as the author points out, any such quarantine list of domains is of necessity going to be incomplete?
Deno is great. I put together a website using Lume super quickly and it was a refreshing change from using Node etc.

Why is this any more fascinating than nails growing or some hairs falling out or eyeballs moving around during sleep? Body does body things all the time.

Sometimes I have incoherent thoughts while I sleep. So what? Sometimes I have them when I'm drunk or really tired or whatever too. Even when fully awake and conscious, most people (myself included) don't have the most exciting thoughts, certainly not enough to monologue about.

I don't get this mysticism around sleep and dreaming. Everyone does it, and it's not particularly magical. Or intimate, for that matter. Friends share details of their dreams way too often, and I wish they wouldn't... 99% of the time it just sounds like the mind "metabolizing", I don't need to know what happened, much less sit down with some silly book to randomly assign meanings and weights to every minute of it.

It's like some people believe the dreams are a portal to a higher consciousness. But frankly they just sound like noise.

A focus on licensing ignores that there are security incentive to not run just any weights you find floating around the net. Getting exploited through miss-aligned networks is a very real threat and really hard to combat.
Yes, but typically “heat pump” is used to mean it can provide heating too, whereas standard “A/C” is a “one-way” heat pump that only provides cooling.
This isn’t just their extension, if I am reading this correctly it is any extension(that hasn’t been vetted by Mozilla) is capable of being blocked from running due to this this new quarantined domain list that Firefox 115 has.

However this feature can be disabled, or otherwise overridden at this time by the end user when following the documentation[0].

I can understand the concern here, but this change is being communicated, can be user managed, and the best faith interpretation I can come up with, is in fact for security purposes. It creates restrictions on (at least from Mozilla’s perspective) untrusted extensions. I mean how many extensions are there that do act maliciously? It probably isn’t trivial.

I highly recommend you use a minimum amount of extensions anyway. The OP’s extension is a good one from what I can tell but I really only use uBlock Origin, Bitwarden, and tab containers at this point. I guess whenever I use Gnome I end up having to use their extension too which is frustrating but a different story.

Will have to pay attention to this feature. Thanks for sharing the link.

You're right, they talked about adding Faceit AC, but they still need time. Once they actually implement Faceit and and thereby block Steam Deck/proton users. At that point Battlebit simply won't work anymore. (Hopefully Steam'll refund my game or BB will have good community servers.)
And a better version of this feature would involve a UI where you can select which extensions can access which pages, like Safari (and Orion, which is based on WebKit) does.

I think my CLA should do that. I'll make sure my lawyer adds that to the draft.
It’s quite possible that a malicious takeover is only diagnosed after the fact. Updates might appear innocuous at first but later be incredibly user-hostile.
"Transformative use".

The inputs could be copyrighted and the weights could be copyrighted if creating the weights from the inputs is (legally) regarded as a transformative use. And I think it could reasonably be considered to be transformative - the weights don't look anything like the input data.

Disclaimer: IANAL. So far as I know, no court has ruled on whether this qualifies as a transformative use. I take no position on how the courts will actually rule. I merely say that they could regard this as transformative use. (But see jerf's "creativity" argument for another hurdle that weights must pass to be copyrightable.)
It's kind of upsetting finding out about stuff like this, that you don't know it could exist.

Adblock is interesting because for adblock to work, you need some engineer hours working to find a good filter to delete ads on websites that don't have active countermeasures, and potentially in websites all over the world in languages as well (I'm bilingual, and I see that ublock origin still works in non-english websites).

Now if you throw in websites with active adblock countermeasures, it seems the proposition that a free, mostly self-governed extension all has that figured out just seems impossible, but it seems to work quite well (albeit with a few notable blocking failures, especially at Facebook which has extremely aggressive anti-adblock features)
I have never really understood the difference between a heat pump and an A/C myself.

Any expert care to explain it in layman's terms?
>> With all those choices given to them, these people are so utterly selfish and lacking in common decency, they can't see how appropriate and important it is that those developing the software also have the freedom to choose what direction they take the fruits of their labor.

As I stated elsewhere in this thread: Sometimes you don't get to choose.

If GNOME is the only desktop environment on your employer's enterprise Linux distro and you do not have root or other window manager choices due to corporate security policies then the GNOME devs' vision is what you get. Yes, it sucks to not have more options, but it is what it is.

How long until those become the security equivalent of Prop 65 "causes cancer" warnings? Or the shitshow that DMCA takedowns are today?

What's the burden of proof to confirm that the first sentence in your quote is correct? (Can I just claim to have breached some company and have the law compel them to issue that quote?)

You're frustrated that companies are issuing information-free notices today; your proposal appears to make them issue information-free notices tomorrow.
That’s a bit of unfair thinking.
A fair point, but the government regulation was a response to corporate abuses. There's a discussion to be had about the efficacy of this particular regulation, but zero regulation and letting corporations run free is not a better solution.

In an ideal world governments are accountable to a well-educated populace and enact the will of the people to rein in the excesses of the greedy and powerful. Of course that is not how it currently works, but that is the ideal to strive for.
That's enough for civil asset forfeiture right?
Yeah I didn't even think that was controversial. I'd always been taught that copyright and patents exist to explicitly restrict what people can do by granting a monopoly to the owners in order to encourage invention and creative work.

Edit to add I'm not saying I agree with the justification or am trying to argue for it, only that the point above is commonly raised as the justification, implying that the intrusion on a person's rights is known and accepted.
That said it would be a really cool feature to have some of the more complicated but common regexes (urls, emails, dates) be some kind of "template" in the syntax. Eg what if I could do '(?D<h=22>)' or something like that to search for all dates in any format that had some version of 8pm represented.

Anyway, super appreciate your work and your writing!
I believe heat pump is limited to reversible systems, while an AC is one way. It's just a more limited variant.

I agree with you that it sucks, and I don't see any disagreement with what I said. Again, the medallion only goes as far as ensuring that all drivers get a sustainable wage. Ride share has driver attrition because they don't. Whether it's a fair system is a different question.

The intent is not to hide from them or completely eliminate them, but to notice when you're being affected and seeking out more and more. Recognizing their effects and reduce exposure when you notice them taking over is one of the main tools.
Why is desalination so difficult?
Consciousness (another term that is too vague) sure. LLMs do not have a high-bandwidth stream of subjective experience at all similar to animals.

But agency? You just give the LLM an open-ended goal and access to manipulate the environment and run in a loop. Many examples of this.

Of course its not the same type of agency that animals have, doesn't have self-preservation instincts etc., but there are enough movies and TV shows demonstrating why that may be a pretty bad idea anyway.
Ah heh, I missed that. Funny indeed :)

Yes and no. If you are set in life, know what you want and need, are able to get it, lie in stable place, fuck news, more harm than good to you, no matter how much rationale you put on it. Focus rather on learning some new skill instead if you can't just enjoy life as it comes, which is a great skill but many self-made successful people lack it completely.

If you in some unstable place, you want to move someplace else, change significant things in life, then it makes more sense to follow news, albeit it would help to curate them. But its a dopamine drug, I see otherwise very smart folks to fall prey to this completely helplessly. They even buy things like smart watches to know instantly there is some notification in phone. Of course all of these folks have higher levels of anxiety, they were there before smartwatches but those are definitely making things worse. And cycle repeats and goes deeper. For them I do hope seamless AR/VR is a thing of distant future, they will have hard time not making it into some cyberpunk version of addict.
As commented, 116 will have a UI to allow the user to better control this.

As I understand it, this just a safetly precaution. They will likely default opt out unmonitored extensions from certain high value sites (banks, email, etc) and allow users to explicitly opt back in. This, to me, seems perfectly reasonable

Who would be the author doing creative work in this case? The people who decided what training material to use? Perhaps, but it seems a stretch for the people who selected the training material to be authors but not the people who created the training material.
