> One can use Photoshop to create heinous things which would be highly illegal to sell, or even show. Should we ban Photoshop? I think we agree, that no, that would be silly.

This is a different matter, just like saying "we don't make cars illegal even though cars can be used illegally". IMO it is off topic in the context of my post above (or you need to elaborate).

> Let's assume I train a model on public domain texts only, zero copyrighted material has gone into it.

Do you genuinely not see the difference, from the point of view of the copyright holders? If OpenAI could build a version of ChatGPT without using any copyrighted material at all, I agree with you: it should not be made illegal. But the illegal use of it should be. I guess we agree here, but to me that is quite different from training ChatGPT with copyrighted material. The first difference being... well... good luck training ChatGPT without copyrighted material (probably now it's too late anyway, because weights of models trained from copyrighted material are just all over the Internet).

> Also, let's keep in mind that these models are not archives, that contain the original data verbatim. They are effectively lossy compression algorithms, that capture the essence.

Say I creat excutable dat do som kind of loss cmpression tht captred essnce.

First, do you agree that the sentence above is "some kind of lossy compression that captures the essence"? If yes, would you consider it legal for me to use that algorithm on famous books and sell them under my name, or would you think that I abused the copyright of the original material?
As an aside, this would be completely legal in Japan, as classification and statistical analysis are protected as fair-use.

I wonder if similar language exists in other copyright systems, but I would imagine it is likely the opposite...
You could gather that information by just reporting anonymous internal telemetry about what kind of computational work the GPU is doing.

The X86 vs ARM makes for such a great story.

One prefers locking and complicated instructions, the other is designed with open and simplicity.

At one point, Intel seemed to be dominant, and proven right with their proprietary tech, where as ARM chugged along keeping a low profile, and keep doing the good work. Now, finally the reality has caught up with them, and turns out openness and simplicity is finally taking a lead.

Stick to your principles FTW!!!
Adam, the problem I'm running into is due to the IP proxy I normally use having been changed from ARIN to RIPE due to an ownership change at the hosting datacenter, which is still in NYC. Thus, nevertheless, I show up as coming from the UK, it looks like, when I access Cloudflare-protected sites in the US, and I'm running into more and more of them. The local newspaper, grocery store, credit card co's, etc., It seems that Cloudflare IPv6 geolocation is broken, and interferes even if you're coming from an IPv4. This is just asking for trouble if you ask me.

Troubleshooting done. If it's any consolation, I don't think Cloudflare is the only offender. Geolocation is a crappy idea to begin with, if you ask me.

This happened to me as well. I started using it again though, in combination with joplin cloud. Data loss is still a big issue though.

The very few jobs I've had in the decades since the first one post-grad school have been through some level of personal connection so I've never really gone through a standard interview process. The one person I know fairly well who worked for Canonical was there for about 6 months so there was obviously some disconnect.

you want money if your book is used for literary analysis?

and even if you could get money for that, it would not be much.
if the tool analyses a million books, and then the service makes one million in revenue, no more than $1 of revenue can be attributed to your book. and only a fraction of that would go to the book author because most of the revenue goes into developing and maintaining the tool. so you'd get 10c. you would make more money by spending your time writing actual prose that can be sold, instead of complaining about this particular tool.

At the risk of being a pedant, I think your argument is too absolutist for it to really mean anything.

The exact same argument can be used by a sufficiently stubborn greybeard to bemoan the fact that C implicitly decides what registers to use for variables, as well as by a more "modern" developer to complain about == vs === in JS.

Surely you agree these levels of implicitness are not the same?
I remember Charles Townes. My Dad thought very highly of him: he was wildly creative in what he built, and also things he just thought of building. Many decades ago when my older brother graduated from optometry school, my brother was unhappy to hear my Dad talking effusively about an idea Townes had for building a vending machine like device to produce both eye prescriptions and glasses.

Parallelized service start on desktop boot and other similar desktop boot optimizations come to mind.

But yeah, mostly it's the remaining 80% work of polish (in the sense of the adage of the remaining 20% actually being 80%) needed to make a Free Software system usable by the masses. Lots of work and lots of value but this doesn't involve significant technical advances, just hard work by smart people who truly understand the whole stack technically but are also able to see from the perspective of ordinary users.

Canonical also pioneered Launchpad and Bazaar. Today they are eclipsed by GitHub and git, but at the time they led in Free Software distributed development tooling. Early GitHub was apparently modelled on Launchpad for example. There's a really interesting retrospective that explains a lot of what you see of Canonical and community and contributions here: https://www.jelmer.uk/pages/bzr-a-retrospective.html

Oh, and container technology. You'll need to look into the details of that to understand exactly what Canonical did and didn't contribute, but Canonical's contribution was significant.

If you look into the specifics most of the things commonly cited as Canonical NIH predate or at least were already in progress at the time of the alternative.

Are you familiar with PRISM or the information Edward Snowden disclosed? The NSA doesn't need "magical" knowledge from the future, they have back doors and exploits in hardware, data collection methods directly arranged with ISPs and FAANGs, and free legal reign. The "best people" at FAANGs readily cooperated with the NSA and FBI, doing everything they could to assist them. If you've never looked into PRISM, I highly recommend going down the rabbit hole.

Will Treebu Overtake Google?
I recently discovered Treebu, a very useful chrome extension for productivity and note taking, which allows the user to select text, images and videos extracts (Youtube) simply by dragging and dropping.

The extension also provides an ultra powerful search engine (a kind of augmented google) that adapts to all search engines and websites.

Have you ever tried it and is there any chance that one day it will reach a critical threshold of users to be truly relevant ?

Is it a torrent client, by any chance? Those can still work without port forwarding, if the swarm member you're sharing data with (regardless of direction) has an open port on their side.

Try creating a new torrent with some random file, seeding it from a Mullvad device and downloading it from a different Mullvad device. That should only work if you have port forwarding set up (or if you're not actually going through Mullvad - you will see that by the peer IP in the torrent client).

For 1, pricing in these scenarios assumes a portfolio effect on the total cost of production for all units sold. Premium features are built into every car, which enables customers to enable them at a later date, but the cost isn’t passed on. Instead the premium feature is marked up to cover costs plus profit for all cars sold with that build. As mentioned elsewhere there are mass production efficiencies involved as well, reducing the unit cost for all cars as there aren’t N variants being built but a single mass production line that’s invariant. The residual costs are covered by the minority who buy the premium features for every unit, enabled or not, and it’s priced that way. This translates into overall cheaper cars for people without the feature enabled, and cars with a better resale value because those features can be still enabled in a secondary market sale. It also translates into cheaper cars for the premium car purchaser as well even though they subsidize the feature build in all cars enabled or not.

It just means being compatible with library extraction:

https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/10.1/configs/jvm/#native-code

So it's really easy. Just run System.loadLibrary("foo") before doing anything else. On developer setups that line will throw because the JVM won't find the shared library, so then you can go down the road of extracting things to the homedir or whatever else you want to do (or do it manually and check in the results). Deployed installs will find the library in the right platform specific directories inside the app package and pass.

If you use blocker that says it blocks malicious websites with malware, trackers or adult content, and your website is incorrectly classified as such that's different.

If Mullvad informed their user that they randomly block website "because <REASON>" and their users accept this, this would be fine.

The filter blocking our website is supposedly telling their customers that the website is in some way dangerous.

I am not seeking retribution here. This is not support. This is HN. I already had conversation with Mullvad support.

This is more of a warning, to check if you are not being randomly misclassified.

I used to work at Rare while they had their 30th anniversary (1985-2015), I'm surprised the article didn't mention Rare Replay: https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/store/rare-replay/BWXKD3FFM... (included in Xbox Game Pass, Xbox only though). For everyone who tried it near release, it was updated to include GoldenEye 007 fairly recently.

Another anecdote related to Rare Replay was that the N64 emulator is actually in-house because it only needed to support a limited number of games. And for these games, it worked better than the existing emulators. Lots of people were so passionate about Rare Replay, it's a massive nostalgia hit when exploring the games :)

EDIT: not mentioned much as well, Rare Replay also includes a special arcade version of Battletoads for 3 players, excellent fun on Xbox !

It's hard now to appreciate how strange it was that they got so close to Nintendo so early. The NES was not taken seriously in the UK until the SNES had practically arrived, and even many that were aware thought the Amiga would wipe it out through technical superiority.

That's exactly what I thought at first. And then I realised that the 'ferromagnetism+diamagnetism' article does not actually provide a mundane explanation of the "half levitation": They estimated that their sample had very strong diamagnetism -- at least the 2nd strongest of any known (non-SC) substance, assuming their sample was pure (but we can assumeit isn't, considering that they just had one tiny flake levitate), so quite possibly the strongest. And superconductivity is a possible cause of diamagnetism.

It still hugely weakens the levitation effect as evidence for SC, but "conclusively show that it is not superconductivity" is not quite true.

> Preponderance of available evidence is irrelevant to assessing scientific claims of fact.

The issue is that trying to prove a negative is very hard in this case.

It is similar to me saying that there is a type of cat that floats, although most don't. It is very hard to prove me wrong because even if you find 1M cats that do not float, it doesn't mean that there is a type of cat you missed to find.

All we can say is that we tried to find cats in a thorough way and none of them float.

When that happens, it is often standard to turn the argument over to the one that is claiming that cats float -- prove that you have a cat that floats, rather than relying on me to prove that no cats float.

This is why people are saying we need to do an analysis of the SC sample from LK. If it is super hard to produce, but we can confirm that they made one, then it is true. Otherwise, it is probably best to assume that the claim isn't true.

For Chrome, the behavior for me on Windows is exactly as you describe for Mac and Linux. The update happens in the background and button color is used to notify me that a restart is needed to move to the new version.

Firefox on Windows gives me a pop-up indicating a new version is available for download and providing a button to do that now. A restart is still required to get the new version, but AFAIK there's no default visible prompt to indicate the need to restart. If I go to Help -> About Firefox, that tells me I should restart to update...but that's not terribly obvious.

I turn on Linux and Windows machines after 3-6 months of inactivity somewhat often and never hit the issues OP describes, so I feel they are either misinterpreting what they / their relatives are seeing or they have performed other changes to these systems that block the standard behaviors.
