> The whole country and everything in it being the personal property of the sovereign sounds weird now, but that's basically how everything was until the invention of the modern concept of the state and constitutional monarchies.

I think a central tension here is that today we think of governments and legal systems as providing the framework in which the market and transactions can take place. You and I can sign a contract for some transaction, and we can understand the legal system which may be used if we have some kind of dispute. A transaction that seeks to effectively remove that legal framework entirely does seem like it pushes you back to maintaining power though the same means as absolute monarchs (by having a loyal army).

> Presumably the current government and you'd sign basically like a treaty I'd assume?

Even this concept seems broken to me; ordinarily a treaty is an agreement which binds its participants to its terms going forward, but here we're imaging that the government ceases to exist and therefore has no behavior which can comply or fail to comply with those terms?

But fundamentally, it does sound like the government of Nauru would not be empowered to "sell" Nauru; it does not own "the whole country and everything in it" and cannot sell it.

You do not and you cannot. It was written in stone once Chrome dominated the browser market. What Chrome (Google) wants, Chrome (Google) gets. Despite all the good engineering Google wants to sell ads, that's all there is to it. And the result is this proposal.

It's irrelevant and we are an irrelevant minority. Unless people switch to FF in droves the web is Chrome. And they won't because at the end of the day people just want to get home from their shitty jobs and stream a show. As long as that works everything else is a non-issue.

Show HN: Neum AI – Improve your AI's accuracy with up-to-date context
While building Gen AI apps, we found that passing context to the prompt is crucial. However, the context must be accurate and up to date. If you are doing search over a vector database and that DB is not updated, then the search results are not good and the quality of your context will suffer.

With this, we set to create an easy-to-use UX and a set of APIs that help you manage and synchronize your data.

With Neum AI, your context in prompts is always accurate and up-to-date. By leveraging vector syncing, you can create a pipeline that moves data from source to sink. (Think about FiveTran or Azure Data Factory). By connecting your data sources to automatically synchronize data into vector stores, you can populate context in your prompt.
TSMC just warned the world of a 10% decline in chip revenues. Given that chips today are critical component of every phone, TV, laptop, desktop PC, server, vehicle, dishwasher, and pretty much everything else, TSMC's warning suggests we're going to experience a significant global economic contraction soon.

Hopefully I'm wrong.
It doesn't return boolean but an attestation certificate that the server can validate before sending you any content.
That is not necessarily the case though, for instance in Self (the language) `self` is the parent slot of the method activation object which contains the instance to which the message resolved. Then again there's no to functions as I don't think Self has free functions.

Also lots of languages have syntactic sugar around the corresponding object e.g. implicitly dereference it for attribute access and method calls, or even give it exclusive(ish) properties like @ in Ruby (or straight up instance variable access in smalltalk).

Even Python treats it specially, given a method `foo`, `obj.foo` actually returns a proxy object which partially applies `foo` to `obj`. This only works on functions defined on the class object, mere callables set on the instance don't get that treatment.
I've been using nix through devbox [0] & direnv recently for an elixir project.

The experience has been good so far:

- Fully reproducible.

- Does not install things globally, rather on a per-project (directory) basis.

- Reasonably fast

One of the downsides is that cutting-edge releases of packages are not available as quickly as with other means.

"Flannery Associates LLC" is a name on a legal document. That name has zero bearing when you are looking for who actually owns and controls the land. Who are the people making decisions? Who pays them? Where is the money coming from? Is a foreign government involved?
Well, you obviously wouldn't pay "any price" for this...

I suspect it's a trade-off for Apple and they concluded that people who might need that can easily hotspot through their phone and thus wouldn't necessarily pay hundreds for a built-in cellular modem that would also require a second cellular plan.

We know basically nothing about the ocean other than it's where almost all our oxygen comes from, and we have no way to know what the tipping point is. Assuming we're too small to affect the environment is how we got here.

And we know from effects of climate change above the surface that it doesn't have to be cataclysmic to cause trouble. There could be all kinds of nasty things in store that are even harder to predict with how hard it is to explore and study the oceans. We don't even have an accurate map of it.

Presumably you can’t build an LLM that is a competitor of LlaMA using its outputs.

Copilots are considered unsexy bc they appear not to aim at AGI (i.e. go for full autonomy). But that gets the game theory completely backwards.

LLMs (and agents) can often do 90% of the heavy lifting, but those 10% failures (or just weak results) can unpredictably pop up anywhere.
Even 1% failures can sometimes render an AI solution uneconomical (see: self-driving cars).

The reasonable path to AGI is to have a tight AI/human feedback loop, and take more and more off of the human's plate over time. That way you can deliver actual value to users right now (not just a cool demo), and provide more and more value as the AI ecosystem matures.

> without search dominance google’s entire business model is highly vulnerable.

I think the massive amounts of data collected by android devices while we're not using the internet and all the data collected by chrome while we are browsing means that Google no longer needs to mine our internet searches to collect the most intimate details of our daily lives. That's why Google no longer cares about investing time and money into making their search useful for us.

In fact, it's better for Google if a company's customers can't find their website due to all the spam because it means that company now has to pay Google to place an ad at the top of search results in order to be seen at all.

> Arbitrary Internet data that is not copied does not have any copyright implications.

Training a model on model output isn't copying.

There's no way to phrase this where training a model on copyrighted human-generated images/text isn't copying, but training a model on computer-generated images/text is copying.

> If you want to do that, you have to limit end-user freedom with an EULA.

If you want to limit end-user freedom with a EULA, you have to figure out how to get users to sign it. Copyright is one way to force them to do so, but doesn't really seem relevant to this situation if training a model on copyrighted material is fair use.

And again, if somebody generates a giant dataset with LLaMA, if you want to argue that pushing that into another LLM to train with is making a copy of that data, then there's no way to get around the implication there that training on a human-generated image is also making a copy of that image.
They didn't. It's not open source.
When I read your comment above, I wondered if you'd gotten here by defining "fair" circularly.

I wanted to express the fact that everything that gets allocated (call stack, frames, classes, and objects) is alive and valid until the "root" VM is, thus I used 'a more or less everywhere.

VHS VCRs used to suffer from condensation issues, and some had sensors for this: the display would show "DEW" if it detected internal moisture, and you've have to wait before inserting a tape.
The highest temperature ever recorded was in Death Valley, in 1913. [1] Hence the reason for this weird 'at midnight' metric. It also holds another pretty neat record of having 43 days with temperature over 120 each day. That was in 1917. The planet's definitely warming up, but seeing every single freak weather occurrence, let alone in an area uniquely geographically situated for such, as a 'sign' of the end times isn't going to serve much purpose.

Depends on who you mean by “we”. Air conditioning and insulation can protect you from high temperatures when you’re inside. Solar and storage can provide the electricity to power it.

The problem is it’s going to take decades at best to get that tech into the hands of everyone who needs it in many parts of the world. And that’s assuming economic development and international cooperation go the right way to make that happen (which seems doubtful).

Realistically, the world will contain many millions of people whose lives are improving dramatically even as millions of others are suffering in new ways. Same as it ever was.

So what if you think their justification is weak? Do you believe the company is worse off because they're switching to Rust? Do you even have all the information to make that judgement call? Do you honestly even care?
To be honest, I think "poop will be my new food source" makes perfect sense. But that might just be me.
> how do we protest this

The proposal for Chrome, you don't, because there's no stopping it. See DRM, Secure Boot, all the rest of the shitshow pursuing "trusted environment". It'll never happen, but CEOs won't accept reality.

You can, however, embrace the rest: eg. keep serving your own content on http (along with https), gopher for retro compatibility, and because they are less prone to break.

Keep using your current device for browsing, and whatever refuses to serve you either leave it for good or keep a spare chromebook for all the "services" you can't avoid to use, like banking.

I don't have a better route. It's a bit like streaming: if I want resolution above 480p, I use a Chromecast with Android TV.
Look at Guidance - that's being ignored by Microsoft yet it's an official repo
Yeah I mean the first of their examples is literally:

> Users like visiting websites that are expensive to create and maintain, but they often want or need to do it without paying directly. These websites fund themselves with ads, but the advertisers can only afford to pay for humans to see the ads, rather than robots. This creates a need for human users to prove to websites that they're human, sometimes through tasks like challenges or logins.

I find it quite cute that they start with "users" as if it's a user demand but in the next sentence switch to "advertisers" --- the real target population.
Behind me, satan! :)
As another comment says, it's "performance improvement plan": saying to the employee that they're not meeting expectations and they need to hit a set of goals or be fired. It's part of the documentation process used by companies to protect against liability: if they're going to fire you they want a paper trail of a nondiscriminatory reason why they did it. The "rosier" theoretical side is that a PIP is a wake-up call to a struggling employee that gives them a chance to improve.

Here the claim is that the manager was forced to put X number of people on PIP regardless, which would be under something like a stack ranking system where a manager isn't allowed to say all their employees are performing adequately, they have to choose some to put on the chopping block. Amazon is famous for doing this.

Rollup ID announces beta and promo
> Neither was the original training data, which was copyrighted books, art, etc.

If the original training data is a copyrightable (derivative or not) work, perhaps eligible for a compilation copyright, the model weights might be a form of lossy mechanical copy of that work, and be both subject to its copyright and an infringing unauthorized derivative if it is.

If its not, then I think even before fair use is considered the only violation would be the weights potentially infringing copyrights on original works, but I don’t think incomplete copy automatically works for them the way it would for an aggregate; I’d think you'd have to demonstrate reproduction of the creative elements protected by copyright from individual source works to make the claim that it infringed them.

This isn't necessarily representative of the economics of downstream sectors, because it's probably caused by the Bullwhip Effect[1] like the recent semiconductor shortage.

The issue is that some things are difficult to decarbonize because they emit carbon directly due to chemical processes or use gas for process heat. There is a lot of investigation into whether these can be decarbonized economically, but a lot of it is still fairly early stages.

Agile, with its warts and all, is far better than nothing at all.

Yeah. You see criticism of agile, all of which is generally totally valid, but I never see alternatives mentioned short of "have a team of top X% developers with a clear shared understanding of all objectives and essentially no interference from management and no unreasonable deadlines."

Which, well... I mean, great if you can get yourself into a situation like that. That sure is better than agile. It is the ideal I yearn for as an engineer.

I just don't think that's realistic for most engineering endeavors. At some point, engineers need to recognize that interfacing with the rest of the company (product owners, etc) is a big part of the job and really embrace it. It's also typically the only part of our job that is not easily outsourceable, so it is in our best interest to embrace this.
