Also, copyright as it currently exists (a legal construct) is supposedly to promote the arts. GenAI may obviate the economic need to promote the arts… but if art is to us as a peacock's tail, then it won't ever obviate the desire to promote (and protect) the arts. The expense of human labour may be the point.

The EU has provided a high level overview of the regulatory framework here: [1]. Quite old (2021) but the general idea is probably still valid. I think the idea is sound.

The question is whether foundation models will be regulated already as high risk because they could be applied in high risk use cases or if only the use case applications themselves will be regulated.

It tends to be more in the direction of "let's regulate the foundation, as well".

BTW: Something similar is in the works for regulating software, including open source software with the new "EU Directive for Liability of Defective Products". Here is a discussion: [2].

The rationale behind both seem to be something like: We (software vendors in the EU) rely so heavily on open source software and put just a little bit on top, that it would be too much work for us to ensure compliance of the underlying software for our use case. So, please, dear regulators, regulate the underlying software, as well, even if it is open source, so that the compliance burden is not on us, but on the authors of the underlying software.

The compliance industry is happy (new business), the big software vendors are happy (reduced competition from smaller vendors in high-stakes industries), the regulators are happy (fewer vendors to deal with while ensuring the regulation will actually be enforced).

Fortunately even the plastic those people designate for recycling is not in fact recycled in the overwhelming number of cases ([0] cites a rate of ~8% dropping to ~5% in 2021).

(/s? I think? I don’t know, this whole domain of waste stream problems seems like bouncing from one sad state of affairs to another)

Adorably, we count exporting the plastics to dump in third countries as “recycling” it, including it as part of that single-digit figure.

What seems to yield much better results is to have the program be built by two separate teams to a standard. Then both programs can be run simultaneously, checking each others output — I believe something like this is actually used in the aerospace industry.
The marketing pages, the whole pitch was that we have a native grounds up multi modal that processes multi modal inputs as a whole unlike other approaches where multiple different models of different modalities are stiched together.

With all that emphasized, the duck demo was jaw dropping. It felt like now computer systems really have eyes and ears. A computer system is responding and commenting on what it is seeing. That's just really really revolutionary.

But then... the fine print somewhere.

I think that is a wrong take.

Rubberhose FS does protect you from rubberhose cryptanalysis. That is the point.

You can argue, that it over-protects you, which might be just as or even more dangerous, and that is a fair criticism.

But I don't see how you can argue that it "doesn't protect" you.
Is it your understanding that America turned the other cheek after Pearl Harbor?
Cool! Thanks for letting me know!
The author isn’t thinking this through. Take the lawyer example. Yes, a lawyer will have to review all AI generated work. Even so, the AI generated content and work to revise would quickly be cheaper than any associate. With enough feedback and some specialization, AI will generate better work than associates out of law school.

I can see a day where law schools don’t teach how to write briefs and other legal documents but instead teach how to review AI generated documentation instead. Law schools could have more emphasis on trial work or the like. That’s very disruptive.

Funny, on the FX30 it's actually exposed as a setting with a proper description.

Maybe because the FX30 lacks the physical shutter, and instead relies on you putting a lens cao on? If so, I'd expect the A9iii to have the message too.

Cost isn’t the only vector. Someone may want to host the runners within a given VPC so they have access to private resources / PrivateLink etc. the job API is a lot narrower of an attack surface area than giving your auth info to GitHub that has enough power to do CI/CD infra changes and such.

There’s also people who use GitHub Enterprise who still need to host a runner fleet, so they could benefit from this too.

This immediately reminded me of the Palm Pre iTunes/iPod protocol reverse engineering debacle from the oughts.

It became a game of whackamole where by Palm would update their OS (RIP WebOS) to reintroduce support for iTunes to their devices and Apple would bend over backwards to break it again.

Did Beeper not anticipate that this was inevitably coming and put fallbacks and rotational serial numbers in place if Apple start getting blocky?

> “Collateral damage” is one of those bloodless wartime euphemisms for killing innocent men, women, and children.

It's not a just a euphemism, because there really is a difference. Justified or not, Dresden wasn't collateral damage - it was directly targeting and killing innocent civilians. Collateral damage really is something different.

> But I don’t believe for one second that Israel’s hands are so sufficiently constrained that the current degree of civilian death is necessary.

(For the record, I'm Israeli)

This is a hard question to answer. No one actually knows, because given fog of war and given the incentives of both sides, it's hard to get real numbers for what's going on. Not to mention that what even counts as "necessary"? Obviously zero civilian deaths is the only legitimate goal, but just as obviously this is impossible to achieve in practice. (I'd also add that zero deaths of militants is the goal, if possible - anyone that can be stopped by arresting them or causing them to surrender should be dealt with that way - though obviously this is even harder to achieve.)

Given all that, I think a few points I'll say, again speaking as an Israeli citizen with my own particular biases:

1. While I highly mistrust our current government (like many Israelis), I certainly don't think most of our government would condone killing civilians completely unnecessarily. At least not the ones in charge, mostly.

2. More importantly, I trust the IDF a lot (and this is probably a big difference between me and most non-Israelis). While I'm sure that not literally every civilian death is legitimate, I do trust that the IDF is only attacking valid targets given reasonable intelligence, and that it's not knowingly targeting civilians for the most part.

3. Most importantly - taking the outside view - the IDF estimates that it's killing roughly 2 civilians for 1 militant killed. If you believe that number - it's roughly in line with similar wars fought by Western countries.

Note: While I talk about civilian deaths here as a "statistic", every death is a horrible tragedy. In a good world, no one would ever have to die of violence, and good people should mourn the deaths of any person on any side of this horrible situation.

If there's a security flaw present in the original and fork, how do you write a patch to the same bug without writing identical code? How do you avoid accidentally being influenced by Business Source License code, especially as devs start using LLMs that may ingest that code in their training data?

Sure, but also recognize: web browsers constitute a mature, multi-polar ecosystem; we do not clutch pearls when a user chooses Firefox, or Safari, or Chrome (or myriad others) to transact on the web.

Can a bad actor slap a green lock on an insecure browser clone and harm users? Certainly. And yet, in a survey of the systemic threats to security and privacy on the open web, such attacks are relegated to the margins.

Apple encourages a popular narrative that centralization and control beget trust, and from there may enable privacy and security. Look no further than the comments on this HN post to see the narrative echoed!

It's fair to point out that it's not literally what Gruber wrote, but readers will fill in the negative space around his uncritically apologetic commentary. To state the implied message: trust in Apple's way, and remember that third parties (who are not accountable to Apple) will ultimately deprive you of privacy and security!
> What about customer service ? It's a large industry globally. LLMs are a good fit.

LLMs are probably an ok fit for first line customer service that deals with menial queries from users who just don't know how to use the product at all.

For actually important customer service issues LLMs won't be useful. Effectively if a FAQ couldn't answer it for you an LLM wouldn't either.

I know for sure if you give me LLM based customer service I'm going to stop being a customer pretty quickly since I have 0 appetite for hallucinations when I have an actual problem with your product I need resolved.
Because complexity is boundless and in software it has no cost.

Building a house will have a restrictive initial budget for complexity, you don’t have enough in that budget for rotating floors, or an elevator that is catapulted to the correct floor, etc. These would cost both at engineering time and implementation time a huge amount. Less complexity is easier to analyze.

In case of software, complexity has negligible cost, relative to physical systems. You can increase it ad infinity — but proving it (the whole stack - from the hardware-OS-userspace software) correct is likely impossible with even the whole of mathematics, in certain cases.
I guess the difference is some better algorithms to identify cosmic ray issues and the like, as oppossed to simple noise reduction.
I don't think you can possibly know that they killed 15k civilians. Those numbers are reported by Hamas and don't contain a breakdown of civilian vs. militant.

That doesn't change the tragedy of innocents being killed - that's still a horrible tragedy. But Israel is not going around just killing civilians for no reason, as that number makes it seem.
It's clearly not a new thing, and it's clearly something that people should have likely been vaguely aware of for decades, but it's not really important for anyone not directly connected to the conflict, territory, or heritage to be actively concerned with on a moment to moment basis, and it's not something that's ever organically come up, at least beyond acknowledgement that some conflict is always happening. That's not to say it hasn't come up in any circle, but it does seem to be a suspiciously recent topic, and I'd simply argue that people tend to subject themselves to arbitrary issues to be consumed by regardless of the bearing it has their life, and largely influenced by media.

When I had the conversation about it in real life, I expressed sympathy and discussed a few aspects that they informed me of since I hadn't heard about the instigating attack, and then I went on about my life, thankful that my family and nobody I know personally is on either side.
This is my experience with a colleague of mine as well. He is talking to chatgpt and trying to get working solution from it instead of sitting down and putting puzzle pieces together from documentation.

Good sex extends beyond chemistry and self-pleasure. Good sex strengthens the bond between two people and makes them smile more at each other.

The Bible is my goto for sex and relationships. I am male and have been married for nearly 30 years. The bible teaches me to keep sex, and sex thoughts, for my wife. This is a very different culture from how I grew up. I think too many sexual partners messes with your head as you get older. You romanticise old connections when the going gets tough with your partner. Testing sexual compatibility is also a nonsense. I can confirm I was downright rubbish at sex. In a loving relationship you find a way and get there in the end.

The bible is also counter intuitive about relationships, love your neighbour and your enemy.

Many of the books and theories mentioned here will be long forgotten. There are still many like myself who lean on the ancient wisdom and teachings of Jesus.

Can you elaborate?

I think you're right that LLMs are very good at classification and structuring, but that's not how I see them used. The experiments I have witnessed resemble "hail Mary" attempts to replace human agents with a magic chatbot that would know it all and speak plainly. Those experiments almost always fail, because the bot hallucinates too much and/or because the training data is poor and not detailed enough to provide efficient fine-tuning.

For example: a helpdesk handles incoming support requests for an internal, proprietary application. Support agents write the request down, then spend time investigating the problem and possible solutions, based on the symptoms. There is a weak link between the symptoms reported by the users and the actual underlying problem, so this takes time, esp. for newly hired support agents.

One approach would be to build a semantic search engine to speed up the investigation phase, which would positively affect the productivity of the agents. But that's not what's been tried: the company hoped to get rid of support agents completely, and replace them with a bot that would interact with the users and solve their problems on the fly.

When that doesn't work, everyone's disappointed and tends to simply give up.
WhatsApp (meta / facebook) acts exactly like apple here: they're sending cease and desist letters to OSS projects.

Hrm. So if you take the Cadillac Series 70 (which would have been seen in its lifetime as a very large car; they tended to be used as head-of-state limos and that sort of thing), it was about 2 tonnes for most of its lifetime and peaked at about 2.5 tonnes. More normal full-size sedans were well under 2 tonnes. An F150 is 2.1 tonnes for the non-electric version. A cybertruck is 3 tonnes.

Cars definitely did get smaller in the 80s, but they’ve been getting bigger again for a while. 70s cars did indeed have bigger engines, but they weren’t very efficient engines.
>> What about the ink drying out if you don't use it for printing for a couple of months?
If you really only print 2 times per year you don't need a printer.

Not using a couple of months =/= printing 2 times per year.

However, I might have had years when I did print only twice per year, but when I did it was a great convenience to have. What's the alternative? Let's say it's Friday midday, you just learnt you have to print something, sign it and take a photo of it ASAP. You can't leave right now because you're working from home. There is a print shop in a city 30 miles away, but your car is under 2ft of snow. You finish work at 5pm (it's dark outside by now) and you know the print shop will close in an hour. Good luck.

Or scenario no2. You hit the print button while sipping your coffee, a (laser)printer that did nothing but light a small cupboard with its status diode springs to life and few seconds later you have your print. You sign it, snap a photo of it on your phone and send it away. 5 min later you're doing something else.

If you know you'll only print few times per year, having a fresh cartridge packed for the occasion makes sense, but laser printers exist and they don't require it. If you have to buy a new cartridge every time you print you'll quickly find buying a laser was cheaper (even if buying 3rd party cartridges). Color lasers exist (although I never used a consumer unit). I imagine they're meant for documents rather than photos.

Neat that they're crafting this kind of product. But, given how easily such full sequences can plot your exact relations with any other unblinded records, this may be largely "DNA Security Theater" against the threat of their malfeasance or compromise.

Also, I can't find anywhere in the Nebula materials describing the chain-of-custody of submitted DNA, & jurisdiction(s) of the sequencing labs.

For example, if provided samples are sent outside the US for sequencing – are they? – I'd have even less confidence they'll be kept secret from local authorities.

Even with all of those applied, we wouldn’t be magically better. Complexity is simply unbounded. It’s almost impossible to reason about parallel code with shared mutable state.
What we did when correcting the homework is compare the signature of the assembly output (not manually of course). You can move functions around, rename them, change the names of variables, .... but the signature of the instructions remains the same.
