I'm under the impression that a 501c3 _can't_ spend its money on developers working on FOSS while being 100% tax deductible because of the US tax code; makes one wonder whether it would be worthwhile to lobby/organize to get that changed.
The article says that the driver was met by a convoy of police cars and then after a 15 minute drive around with the police escort, they did a rolling stop.

I could imagine someone making a mistake and accidentally pressing the wrong pedal, etc., but it seems very unlikely that after 15 minutes at 15mph in a police convoy, the guy still couldn’t work out how to press the brake pedal properly.
Or, hear me out here, The Federal Trade Commission orders a study done and the study corroborates the general sentiment here that Amazon is abusing their power in the marketplace. So, the FTC then sues Amazon.

Your 'feelings' about how this works only matters to you. The US branch of oversight for trade has declared (with a lawsuit) that this behavior is unconscionable and either is or will be illegal by the time this suit is finished.

You're welcome to dispute the FTC and the crowd here on HN, but you need to provide some sort of data to back up your claim of: Sellers should just stop using Amazon...the issues will correct themselves.

The FTC's suit alleges the exact opposite of what you allege. The FTC states that there is harm to the entire economy if Amazon is allowed to continue this practice.

Please cite the studies, data, or metrics you used to claim '...will correct themselves."

Thanks @endisneigh.
True. But the reason why we talk about Public Domain so positively is that we view it as there being so much creativity that is contained for 70+ years for no reason.

It's starting to turn out, and I fear the perception is getting set, that almost all of that creativity is garbage, or at least perceived as such by a growing percentage of people.

Seriously though, if I was Disney, I'd bankroll secretly as much garbage public domain content about Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse as possible. I'd then lobby Congress for infinitely renewable copyright. I then get to frame every Senator opposed as supporting horror content for kids. Fun.
Static typing is already quite a help, as it makes whole categories of errors compile-time errors.

> I'd like to see Javascript die in the fiery pits of hell as much as the next guy

Part of the problem is that some of those "next guys" don't have the experience and/or vision to realize that it needs to die. Perhaps we should emulate Cato in our subsequent HN posts:

And furthermore, I consider it necessary that Javascript be replaced with WebAssembly so that we can use well-designed languages in the browser.
Thanks for your candor and honesty. :)
Meta's AI Stickers Are Already Causing Trouble
A lot of HNers were so adamant that the LLMs understand absolutely nothing and that these models are just predicting the next most likely word.

I think with this paper it becomes clear that the adamant denial was just human bias talking. LLMs crossed a certain line here.

You would think people would be amazed or in awe or react in fear at technological break through a and they often are. The weird part for LLMs was the delusion. Many people were in denial that it was any sort of breakthrough.
It's still a separate issue though; you can use Google Play Services on an old version of stock Android, an old major version of Lineage, or on a new version of Lineage, or you can decide to run an old major version of Lineage or a new version of Lineage without it. All of these except the first should fix the "vendor removing features from Android" problem.
Why would you think there would be outcry? The people committing the crime would be nervous (a little, since regular beat cops don't investigate those crimes), but the people not committing it would welcome the safety from violent crime. That's why business owners offer free coffee to cops - they're happy to have them around.
My understanding might be limited but I don't see this being a big enough risk to warrant spending couple hundred dollars every few years for a new phone when the old one still works.

Exactly. That's what Extism is trying to solve. That WASI post doesn't show at all how to use the WASM code from C, or vice versa, because it just compiles the entire C program to WASM which uses the POSIX-based WASI API. If you want an alternative to Extism, you need something like wasmer.io, not just wasmtime (Extism actually uses wasmtime as mentioned in the post).
According to a more extensive, and more lurid report [1] the driver "tried the park button, engine off button, everything"

Not that Blood and Honey was particularly good as a movie but you do miss the fact that even if "most people really, really do not like" it, some people, including me really, really do. The concept of it. And this for me personally is winning and I wish it was done more.

The students are the ones paying to be educated, if they cheat they are only cheating themselves anyways.

The problem is the cheater will then enter into society and tell people "I'm a graduate of $prestigious_university".

At that point they are cheating society.

For your second one, it looks like it is already implemented in Chromium and Firefox but not Safari. Sadly, it's not new for Apple to be dragging their feet on moving web standards forward.

Statements can be enforced by the FTC or be used for the grounds of successful litigation. That’s why it’s a big deal.

Apple has had a great record of support, and I’m a huge fan of their products. A commitment to continue their great support would be a nice step.

Yes and I'm saying even that doesn't work as robustly as CoT across different tasks. CoT is so obviously not just about padding for extra compute.

Certain tokens will guide it to more accurate responses just as much as others derail it out of distribution. This should be obvious.

Literally this paper, you can see the model only really learns how to use the padding tokens effectively after training.
This might be a side effect of speculative decoding.
It is interesting to note that the US government often requires the same kinds of MFN terms, even though it is usually much more expensive to do business with the government than the private sector. There are many ways of constructively working around MFN requirements but it creates collateral damage. For example, the practice of having very high prices that are steeply discounted for most customers is often an artifact of having the US government as one of your customers. For software, it is common to create a new product/service that is trivially different in some way so that you can justify a new SKU that is only sold to the government.

Amazon's practice is bad because it anchors pricing to their mandated cost structure. That the US government engages in similar practices should at least raise questions, because it has the same effect on the marketplace.
Well maybe we have different definitions of scale: I think my team spends about $2M a month on compute, so we don't pride ourselves on randomly pulling in new vendors.
This was one of the reasons I selected the Samsung XCover6 pro.
It still has a replaceable battery. It is also remarkably sturdy, which has paid off since mine has been dropped on concrete from hip height twice now with no additional phone protector and with no visible damage (apart from nicks in the plastic edge).
It might be that the fact that the back explodes off on impact helps dissipate some of the energy? It is a relatively rugged phone for the slim profile though.

Another nice thing about the replaceable battery is being able to keep a spare around for quick recharge.

> Apple is only operating two Daisy models—one in the Netherlands and another at the company’s Material Recovery Lab in Texas—that each process up to 1.2 million iPhones per year. Achieving circularity may seem futile considering how Apple sells 200 times as many iPhones annually...

Microsoft should be the first one to be split up. Their dominant position is more pervasive than any other market because the operating system people use in their computers is the gateway to get too these other services.

The second should be Apple for the same reasons.

Then Amazon.
That comment is brilliant because a lot of the commentary on past bad deeds exude that stance without stating it so explicitly.

Here's the general lifecycle:

1. Year 0: you are a conspiracy theorist if you think that X is doing Y

2. Year 15: only people on the fringes think that X was doing Y

3. Year [declassified documents]: Some nerd reads it, tells it to a living room full of people

4. Year [declassified documents] + 15: We have learned a lot from how X was doing Y in the past; the leaders of current X will have to reckon with this past [which is definitely the past and has nothing to do with the present]

5. Year [declassified documents] + 30: Yeah, everyone knew that X was doing Y all along, idiot. It was a different time back then and nothing about it is comparable to our current times.

Jokes aside, I don't know how to feel about that one. It's just so nonsensically stupid and absurd, on the one hand, but on the other how much does that really make it stand out among the CIA era with which it's contemporaneous? But merely that it's plausible seems indictment enough.
There's only one right way: to acknowledge that your skin color and sexual orientation are irrelevant to your ability to perform your job. The hiring process should never involve these attributes.
We had an exam that was either pass or fail, no grades. The professor and censor would kick you out with a "PASS" in five minutes if they felt that you had sufficient grasp of the topic. Some found it a bit offensive, I just loved how efficient it was. I happened to hang around on the first day of their planned three days examination and the professor just popped his head out the door and asked if I was ready now (a day and a half early), sure... I guess. Five minutes later "PASS. NEXT!"

Only because most jurors have some background knowledge of what constitutes a "normal" amount of beer to buy and consume. A gram of cocaine could be described as 6 lines, or it could be called several dozen bumps. The prosecution is going to go up there and wax poetic about how you'd only buy multiple thirtyracks if you're planning on throwing a party i.e. distributing, and your average jury will eat that up.

Assuming you even get to a jury trial. For most pseudo-distribution cases like this, the defendant is going to plead out, because they know they're dead to rights on the possession charge, and if the judge throws the book at them for that then they may well have been better off taking the distribution plea deal.

Just wait until you find out that the child in that garbage amber alert was never in any danger, and was merely stuck in a custody dispute between two quarreling parents.

Using those two words though is still fair use. And even activities such as producing fan fiction in the world of something like Harry Potter is also protected fair use. To infringe on copyright the complainant still has to PROVE that there was a copyright violation.

Without details of what specific data a language model was trained on, there is no way to differentiate it having retrieved that name from a review of the book that was used with permission from the author (which is their own copyright and fair use on its own) or from the books itself (which would be copyright infringement).

If those records don't exist, the only mechanism you have left is to try and get the language model to spit out sufficient verbatim text from the source material to cross the fair use threshold. This doesn't work in the case of "obvious extrapolation" either which is a whole other defense that could be used depending on what that body produced was (If knowing only that the main character is named Harry, who is a wizard going to a wizarding school in the British countryside is required to produce a couple of close looking paragraphs, you need a much closer match with the original text over those two paragraphs for it to be infringing).

To me what's interesting is that Google feel the need to make a commitment, and Apple don't.

Apple isn't perfect, but they have a good track record of providing updates/security patches and in general supporting the hardware they put into the world. On the other hand Android updates have been a mess forever, and Google have a reputation of pulling the rug from under customers that adopt their products.

I have more faith in Apple delivering six years of updates for my iPhone without a formal commitment, than I do in Google delivering seven years even with this statement. I wonder how many other people feel the same.

We've just tested internally with Firefox nightly with WebGPU enabled (you should also be able to test this with the fix Fredrik just pushed out), but it doesn't seem to work - Firefox's WebGPU implementation doesn't implement enough of the spec [0] to be able to run our renderer.

As I mentioned in another comment, we're considering adding a fallback renderer, but our hope is that Firefox will be able to complete its implementation sooner rather than later - as a Firefox user, I would much rather use it than Chrome myself!

This almost seems like psyops to have anyone believe that "second and third rate" minds are bumbling around and failing. Secondly, I think the CIA gets the brunt of the focus and criticism because its funded by the most powerful nation state in the world. Would another country do better (ethically, morally etc.?) Human/social problems don't have technological solutions, anyways.
To show some actual coding examples, We have made the python library open-source at https://github.com/leptonai/leptonai/. With it, launching a common HuggingFace model is as simple as a one liner. For example, if you have a GPU, Stable Diffusion XL is as simple as:

pip install -U leptonai

lep photon run -n sdxl -m hf:stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0 --local

And you have a local OpenAPI server that runs it! Go to http://0.0.0.0:8080/docs, or use your favorite OpenAPI client.

We've been building AI API services using such tools ourselves. The easiest way to try out Lepton is to head to https://lepton.ai/playground and use our API service for popular models: Stable Diffusion, LLaMA, WhisperX, and other interesting showcases

We are proud of our performance. For example, we have probably the fastest LLaMA 7B and 70B model APIs, and it costs $0.8 to run 1 million tokens inference - we believe it's the most affordable one in the market. In addition, during the open beta phase, calling these services is free when you sign up for the Lepton AI platform.

Under the hood, we wrote a platform to allow you to run things easily on the cloud with ease. For example, if you find Pygmalion to be a great conversation model but you don't have a GPU, use lepton's Remote() capability to launch a service:

from leptonai import Remote

pygmalion = Remote("hf:PygmalionAI/pygmalion-2-7b", resource_shape="gpu.a10")

Wait a few minutes for the model to be downloaded and run, and you can now use it as if it were a standard python function:

print(pygmalion.run(inputs="Once upon a time", max_new_tokens=128))

If you are interested in the operational details, you can find fine-grained controls at https://dashboard.lepton.ai/ as a fully managed platform - we also support BYOC (bring your own compute) if you are an enterprise needing more autonomy over infrastructure.
