Mass publication.

People typically wrongly attribute findings not to the person who first discovered it, but to the person who was able to most widely communicate/publish about it.

This is a particular difficult challenge in ancient times.

Knowledge was often shared verbally, not in written form.

Or if it was in written form, the material used has long since deteriorated.

So most of what we know about ancient thinking is based on knowledge that was so widely known and written that there's multiple copies of it; or the knowledge was communicated on a hard material like stone (egyptian hieroglyphics) ... but that doesn't mean it was the first ancients knew of it, it just means that the particular knowledge in written form has lasted the test of time the longest.
Generating production-level streaming microservices using GPT
faststream-gen(https://github.com/airtai/faststream-gen/) uses GPT models to automatically generate microservices using the FastStream(https://github.com/airtai/faststream) framework for Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ and NATS. Simply describe your microservice in plain English, and it will generate a production-level FastStream application ready to deploy in a few minutes and under $1 cost, together with unit and integration tests, documentation and Docker images.
Correct, this is table stakes to get SSL Decryption working for any vendor. Typically we're talking about Windows PC's joined to Active Directory and they already trust the domain's CA. The firewall then gets it's own CA cert issued by the domain CA, so when you go to www.facebook.com and inspect the certificate it says it is from the firewall.

Most orgs don't inspect sensitive things like banking, healthcare, government sites, etc. Also it's very common to make exceptions to get certain applications working (like Dropbox).
Will Generative AI Help or Harm Embedded Software Developers? – EE Times
I don't think I do. I'm fairly confident that the people of the chalcolithic did enough large scale construction (and pottery and watching the night skies and so on) to have figured a whole lot of empirically accessible geometry out.

The _article_ happens to be about written sources from the Bronze Age Babylonians, which lets us glimpse at their accumulated knowledge. But there's no reason to believe this knowledge was particularly new at their time, and this was a clay tablet equivalent of an arXiv preprint.

> The DHT crawler is not quite unique to bitmagnet; another open-source project, magnetico was first (as far as I know) to implement a usable DHT crawler, and was a crucial reference point for implementing this feature.

Heh. That was one of my first projects when I was still learning to code back in 2012: https://github.com/laino/shiny-adventure

The DHT crawler/worker lived seperately, and I eventually put it here to rescue it from a dying HDD: https://github.com/laino/DHT-Torrent-database-Worker

The code is abhorrent and you absolutely shouldn't use it, but it worked. At least the crawler did - the frontend was never completed.

Since the first implementation of mainline DHT appeared in 2005 and crawling that network is really quite an obvious idea, I doubt we (a friend was working on it as well) were first either.
Thank you, looks perfect for my use case. I will check it out later today.

You're speaking from an Australian perspective about what is, to make an otherwise unsupported argument about what should be in the US. I'll be one of the first to point out problems and blindspots from the American conception of "freedom", but in this case it seems highly appropriate. You yourself even got bit by overregulation for something seemingly reasonable and forward-looking, and yet you're still reflexively defending it!

In my estimation your example "family of 5" is at much more risk from widespread unnecessarily-high bro-dozer trucks than a single engineer personally adding a jet engine to his car while seemingly being very in touch with the dangers of operating it. In fact given the severe disparity in other vehicle crash survivability statistics between coupes and trucks, I've got to wonder if this car isn't still individually safer than a casually-driven pickup truck.

Grumble — both this site and the newer one someone else posted [1] link to an old and somewhat misleading diagram of how an airplane wing works [2].

The problem with the diagram is that the "lines" both ahead of the wing and behind the wing are pretty much flat — as if the air ultimately returns to where it was as the wing moves through it (to be fair, the lines are a little wobbly in the diagram).

That's misleading because if the wing has a net force upwards (ie lift), then the air must have a net force downward. You can't invent forces out of thin air (literally, in this case :). Yes, there's Bernoulli’s principle and all that, but fundamentally: if the wing is pushed up, then the air must be pushed down. The mechanism for how that happens is a separate discussion.

This is an issue that has been debated back and forth for a long time, so I don't want to re-hash it in this comment, but I think it's fair to say at a minimum that those diagrams are misleading, and fly (ha) in the face of Newtonian laws of physics.

I expect better from NASA.

> This is about distributors applying system wide default theming to apps without doing any QA and then users being confused when the app doesn't work and doesn't match support documentation. Then these users file bug reports with the app developer rather than with the theme creator.

If the support documentation only applies for certain themes, then that sure sounds like a bug in the application (or at least its docs)!

Likewise, if such requests are a consistent drain on resources (e.g. white text on white background for some custom widget, or whatever) then that also sounds like a noteworthy bug: either in the application (what's it doing wrong compared to unaffected applications that the theme developer tested against?); or the toolkit (why is GTK3+ so fragile in the first place?).

Looking at the list of signatories, it seems many of them are applications which embed a giant WebKit frame and cross their fingers (e.g. I use Geary on my Pinephone, which spawns a WebKit process with 100GB virtual RAM; even though I've set the plaintext-only preference!). That could also be the cause of such issues. Or indeed the fault might rest with GTK, for not providing the required functionality, which drove those devs to embed a browser engine instead.

The point isn't the point.

The reason a work was created is immaterial to copyright law. It would be like saying, I'm not consuming this media for enjoyment, but to learn how to create media, therefore it's ok that I'm not compensating the creators for that media.

That would not fly.

They want to be able to flagrantly ignore copyright because the whole enterprise becomes prohibitively expensive otherwise. You'd have to go and track down the source of every item fed into the model and request permission. Even without actually paying anyone, that's a time investment no one has.

"Fair use" doesn't generally include taking the author's entire work (or for that matter, his entire lifetime's corpus).

According to WP, there are four factors to consider:

1. Purpose, including whether it's commercial.

2. Nature of the work (e.g. fiction/non-fiction, published/unpublished)

3. How much was used

4. Whether the use impairs the author's ability to exploit his work

====

1. The use is definitely commercial.

2. This use consumes anything and everything.

3. This use consumes entire libraries.

4. It can diminish the market for the author's own work (observe authors complaining that GPT simulacra of their work are competing with their own publications on Amazon).

Each of these factors is to be weighed by the court; no one factor is decisive. But, for example, if you use the entire work, factor #2 weighs against you. It looks to me that the four factors all weigh against OpenAI.
> What’s really happening is that AI models have much better memory than humans and are more precise in their output.

And yet, presumably we agree that a simple file server that serves up exact copies of copyrighted work does constitute copyright infringement. What's the difference? You could also say "what's really happening is that the file server has much better memory than humans." Duh!

It sounds like you're saying that, because an AI model is a very convoluted and sometimes inaccurate way to implement a computer system that sometimes serves up exact copies of copyrighted works, it's not copyright infringement when that computer system does serve up an exact copy of a copyrighted work. I'm not quite understanding the argument.

Aftermath of an Assassination: Inside the India-Canada Crisis
I mean we never seem to care about the downward pressures we put on others, so this seems a contrived place to do it now.

My take on the matter is that facts aren't copyrightable. A LLM is basically recording facts.

I have a background in stylometry where you basically determine authorship by recording statistics on known pieces of writing to try to find the author of another piece of writing. So just extracting facts. You could easily now generate random sentences and filter ones that pass a certain threshold. LLMs are basically this on steroids. So it's just facts and data, not copyright infringement.

Otherwise, you'd have to argue that software reading the text contents of a book are copyright infringement.

Since QUIC is UDP based, there are performance issues that become apparent at higher rates. In TCP, a single write can write a large amount of data. You can even use sendfile to directly send the contents of a file to a TCP socket, all in kernel space. In UDP, you need to write out data in chunks, and you need to be aware of the link MTU as IP fragments can be very bad news at higher rates. This means an app needs to context switch with the kernel multiple times to send a large amount of data, whereas only a single context switch is required for TCP. There are newish system calls such as sendmmsg which alleviate the strain a bit, but they are not as simple as a stream oriented interface.

The QUIC implementations are primarily in user space, so you end up with multiple QUIC implementations in whatever language on any given system.

Hopefully Linux will add a QUIC kernel implementation that will bypass and overcome the traditional UDP shortcomings in the current stack.
