Speaking from personal experience your company shut down my account because I didn't have a website. I was using it to bill friends and family for small hosting accounts and they shut me down for it. While it suited them during their build up phase they deemed that I who actually pay for accounting software and am now using their payment processing are too much of a risk for them. Your bias is a fallacy.
"using each patient's insurance...."

I usually commend anyone trying to fix our Healthcare system in America but every time I see a startup in this space, no one can dare to fight against the main culprit: the middle man Health Insurance Mafia. I wish someone could do something where Health Insurance mafia is no longer in picture except for catastrophic insurance. Watch how prices drop for everything when Doctors/Hospitals can bill patients directly in cash.
I was visiting Seattle (from Vancouver) a few years ago, and they didn't want me to use my chip card as a chip card because if they did then I couldn't tip. What the heck is that all about?

Also, we're still hearing stories about merchants in the US starting to accept Apple Pay, whereas it worked fine in almost every retailer in Canada the day it was available - even though it wasn't available in Canada for a long time, American visitors (or Canadians with American credit cards) could use Apple Pay on launch day at any retailer that supported tap-to-pay, which was easily most of them.

Peer review can't catch lies. It reviews your methodology and whether your findings are supported by your own data. If you outright falsify your data, peer review won't catch that. Replication catches lies.

Many studies, even those relied on for medical products, don't get replicated by independent entities.

It's safe to assume, any non-replicated study is an outright fabrication at this point.
Oops! Thanks for the correction. And even more able to evaluate the code.
I'd have no problem taking responsibility for my actions if my actions were "I implemented an unethical dark pattern for my employer because the alternative was letting my kids starve". "I was just following orders" isn't an excuse, but I'd venture "I was feeding my children" IS a pretty good excuse.

But that likely isn't the reality of the situation. If you're employed in software in the West it is very unlikely that your children are on the verge of starvation. Much more likely is that you might have to accept a slightly lower standard of living to work at companies that behave ethically, and I'm not particularly sympathetic to that.

I've found that a good rule of thumb is to ignore anybody who is self-describing as "a scientist". If they self-describe as some specific kind of scientist then I'm more than willing to listen. If somebody says "as a biologist" or "as a geologist" or "as a whateverologist", that's fine. If they identify themselves in an even narrower way, that's even better. But if somebody says "as a scientist", just generic 'scientist', then they're trying to imply a very broad sort of expertise that almost certainly is not justified. They're basically saying "as an expert in everything..." Such people are usually safe to ignore.

Why do people use Microsoft Windows on x86?

The computer industry has a bizarre reputation for moving fast and breaking things. In fact the industry is shockingly conservative. You will encounter many, many programmers who flat-out refuse to learn new things.
I think you took my sentence too literally. I dont consider money as a concept oppressive. What Im saying is the wealthiest in the world don’t have the same values, they pursue different things. Where money is, and where it moves, matters because it has social and political effects. Money is power, or energy if you will. It amplifies the values of who uses it, shaping what they have under their control to their demands.

Now the thing is, a few people own big stakes of companies, companies that employ the rest of the people. The owners want to profit, they want these employees to give as much as possible to increase profit. If the people at the bottom are powerless, they become batteries for the vision of the owner. And they can’t quit their job, because they wouldn’t be able to pay their mortgage that got more expensive with a higher interest rate. And when times are tough and they dont have liquid cash, they take credit with a high interest rate to get by the month. Now they’re in a bad debt cycle, they dont choose over their lives and have to stay in servitude until they can make that debt manageable again. Debt has good applications and bad applications but let’s not pretend that it’s not a tool for control.

Yes, new tech can’t apply everywhere. If an improvement can be made somewhere but not everywhere, it should still be made in the place it can. The elite are pulling in their direction. The rest have to pull just as hard or the world becomes less equal.

Yes, despite difficulty reproducing results in some fields, it still generally makes sense to trust scientific results. The scientific method is the best thing humanity has for establishing knowledge from empirical data.

Now if you'd prefer to put your faith in religion, or some demagogue, that's fine. And you're free to go eat all the horse paste you want. But overall dismissal of science as "stupid" is just a flat out ridiculous take.

> The PSD2 directive was an utter pain to deal with, but at least it stopped a lot of common scams and thefts in its tracks

Inded. More specifically SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) which is required by PSD2. VISA says the "SYH" (Something You Have) is either "a mobile phone, a card reader or other device evidenced by a one-time passcode".

Note however that I cannot log nowadays to any of my bank in the EU without having a big banner saying something like (paraphrasing): "WARNING: scammers are trying to steal your funds. Neither the bank nor the police nor anyone else shall ask you your PIN or to confirm anything on your card reader."

Basically: life is harder for scammers so they try to trick (mostly old) people into validating transactions over the phone.
Are you replying to the link I posted? One of the summary bullet points: "More than half of young women not employed or in school (54 percent) fall into one of three categories related to disability and potential care obligations — have a disability, live with a disabled adult, or live with at least one of their children — compared to just over one-third of men who are not employed or in school (35 percent)."

The male NEETs in CEPR data were less likely to have a traditionally "good reason" for being a NEET.

NEET men were only slightly more likely to be disabled themselves than NEET women, and given the higher total count of NEET women, I'd guess this breaks out to about an equal number of each gender being NEET for reasons of their own disability.

I agree there does seem to be a disparity in resources for NEETs, though.

The license of the model weights is CC-BY-NC, which is not an open source license.

The code is MIT, though.
The argument of the piece completely eludes me. How would HTML disenfranchise walled data gardens?
> your end goal is to exclude commercial reuse from the open source definition

This is fairly accurate, though there are a range of possible outcomes we would be satisfied with.

> my theory about embrace/extend/extinguish seems to be as accurate as I thought.

This is confused. Embrace/extend/extinguish means to initially participate in an open standard and then extend the standard in such a way that the non-extended version is sidelined.

What is the standard in this case? The Open Source Definition? What is the extension? A limit on commercial reuse in the OSD itself? A widely endorsed time-based license scheme such as BSL? Let's say this came to pass (use your imagination :P ). What is extinguished thereby? The OSD still stands. The supposed extinguisher is _more_ committed to the standard, not less. Other companies that use even weirder licenses like SSPL and ELv2 and now HFOIL :rolling-eyes: are likely brought back within an easier to reason about system and we can all stop arguing about this a couple times a year. There is net _more_ open source software in the world, in both the strong (current) and weak (time-delayed) sense.

That seems better to me than the current situation, and if in your view that is a change in the essence of open source, then yes, let's change open source. Change or die.

[disclosure: I'm Head of Open Source at Sentry, which owns Codecov.]
It's open source hated by big tech that undermines Jeff Bezos's goodwill.

It provides a revenue stream to actually pay developers to create more useful open source.

That's where the political imperative to gatekeep the term comes from.
How is this different from Streamlit or Pynecone?
Exactly. I find myself a lot more engaged by people working on trying to get room temperature superconductivity checked off than by people figuring out how to do A/B testing on unsuspecting consumers to increase the number of ads that are clicked.
It breaks the implicit assumption that one human == one account. Consider a typical case where Alice approves Eve's PR. Bob sees that and decides that he doesn't have to review it, since Alice has already provided a second opinion. Now if Eve is really Alice's sockpuppet, that PR has slipped past without review.

It also creates issues with respect to decision-making and consensus building. Wikipedia bans sockpuppets for good reason.
I think the key word there is "noncommercial".
Rust sum types do not take up that much extra space, in fact often the overhead is completely compiled away. Lots of hard work to keep the wasted memory to a minimum, and they are not pointers, so there isn't an extra memory hop or anything.
For a robotics oriented, part theory part hands-on learning material on Kalman Filtering, I would suggest The Robot Mapping course from Cyrill Stachniss:

http://ais.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/teaching/ws22/mapping/

There are YouTube videos from 2013 here:

The course itself is mostly based on the Probabilistic Robotics book from Sebastian Thrun et al:

What outcome were you hoping for when you decided to spend that time and energy?
> Until we have COVID-style restrictions on our lives, we as a society will never voluntarily give up all the bullshit that is feeding climate change.

Oh, we will. When food, shelter, energy, etc. become scarcer and more expensive, we will change our way of life, whether we like it or not.
Sadly looks unlikely if the base model wasn't trained on vocals.

> Mitigations: Vocals have been removed from the data source using corresponding tags, and then using a state-of-the-art music source separation method, namely using the open source Hybrid Transformer for Music Source Separation (HT-Demucs).

> Limitations: The model is not able to generate realistic vocals.

(https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft/blob/main/mod...)

I suspect this was a combination of playing it safe and that the model isn't well architected to reproduce meaningful vocals.

It's not leading the way technically but for the end consumer it might be better. If I get charged unfairly my bank will tell me to go to the police. Americans can easily just refuse it.
1. If there's ML and a "guarantee" involved, what actually happens if the bill is larger than predicted?

2. I've been to medical appointments where doctors have clearly ordered tests to pad the bill. E.g. a lung capacity test to prescribe stimulant medication. Or doing many blood panels "just in case" (conveniently when they have an in-house blood scanner and phlebotomist). Some practices offer dozens of such tests and procedures. They are judgment calls but doctors are perversely incentivized to order them. What is the patient/doctor experience in these situations? Having the menu of services+prices readily visible and available and the doctor walking through the options and risk/reward?

3. Will you publish the pricing information over time? Perhaps comparing the transparency/hospital-published data versus your experiential and predicted data?

Yeah, DOS/Windows applications have used for some long number of years non-zero return codes for a lot more complicated things than just "error" but also "type of success". The documentation on Robocopy is an interesting example.

PowerShell's default handling for native commands is treating anything written to stderr as signaling an error, which is somewhat more reliable for old DOS/Windows commands (but not necessarily reliable for some Unix commands that use stderr as a secondary logger for various reasons including because they expect stdout to pipe redirected more often than not). Though you need to set $ErrorActionPreference [0] to something other than "Continue" to notice this behavior.

However, since Powershell 7.3 there is also a setting you can temporarily change to treat non-zero returns as errors: $PSNativeCommandUseErrorActionPreference [1]. Note that as its name suggests you need to set $ErrorActionPreference to something useful for it to work as you intend.

The docsend link still requires an email. But the docs link is a great start! Maybe I'm missing it, but it doesn't seem represented on the product website, so if it is there, maybe make it more obvious? And if your docs aren't linked from the product website, I think that is a mistake.

Anyway, it seems like this is at the pre-production stage, so most of my commentary isn't relevant. But I appreciate you clearing that up and I'll check back when you're closer to a release.
No, it literally is not the same thing, and is literally not about big tech at all. It is in fact very simple: Is the thing you're calling Open Source actually Open Source, or is it not? You don't get to change what words mean because you think they should change, or because your business model isn't compatible with their real meaning but you'd really like to use them anyways.
I played it first a few years ago and was totally engrossed. A few months ago, I remembered it and thought "well maybe I'll find it again and play for a few minutes"... and then I did nothing else for the rest of the day.

> "Meta is really clearly trying to differentiate themselves from OpenAI here. Open source + driving home "we don't use data we haven't paid for / don't own"."

Isn't Meta settling lawsuits for this right now? In addition to violating user privacy (another lawsuit)...

Meta is attempting to destroy competition; that's it. Similar to how they paid a fortune to lobby against Tiktok for the exact reasons Meta is under active investigation (again). The irony.

It did happen, to a great degree. Much to our collective detriment, in my opinion.

Literally the first line of the "Notice" section:

"The Business Source License (this document, or the "License") is not an Open Source license."

The 2V Josephson junction array chip (without the needed cryocoolers or support machinery) is $28,600 [1]. Full system is a bit under $300,000, without including installation, calibration, or training costs. They do still need calibration to ensure they're measuring the output voltage properly.

My understanding (IANAL) [1] is that copyright licenses have no say on the output of software. Further, CC licenses don't say anything about running or using software (or model weights). It's therefore questionable whether the CC-BY-NC license actually prevents commercial use of the model.

It has excellent replay value.
