Back in 2020 they also attempted to stop the sale of modified AVM second hand products running custom firmware based on the code they had to publish because of the GPL restrictions. They're still trying very hard to prevent people from modifying their hardware after purchase.

The freedom to take a device and modify it to run your own changes is what the GPL is all about. Let's not forget the modern open source movement was the result of someone not being able to load a custom font into a printer. Do you think Stallman would've been satisfied if Xerox had given him the source code he asked for, but then indicated they'd sue him if he tried to load any modified software onto the printer?

AVM's interpretation of the license ("you can modify the GPL software but you're not allowed to flash it onto the device") was shot down by the court, and rightly so.

I think a company actively going after another to prevent exercising the software freedoms granted by the GPL makes them deserving of being called "notorious". It's a shitty practice in general, but it's especially shitty when you do it for GPL firmware.
How to Successfully Onboard in a Running Project
Servo is not Firefox. It was always a testbed research platform. Stopping development of Servo does not mean stopping development of Firefox.
The most important metric I want to track at the moment is the number of people who come to my website using the link on my resume. It helps me understand how many of my applications might have been met with interest (which so far has been 1, unfortunately).

With everything else, I agree. I write as a means of documenting my findings and sharing it with others and surely the discussion section here on HN is where it becomes useful to me where I can engage in constructive conversation and learn new things.

Thanks for reading the article, cheers.
I would say Acadian is probably as far from France French as Québecois is, but it certainly has some fascinating qualities. They use old French words there that have changed everywhere else French is spoken (aside maybe Louisianna French).

My favourite anecdotal example (though I couldn't find any proof looking it up) is that "to kill" it's "killer".
This is just wrong. In many EU countries the free speech protections are quite extensive (and some of us live in countries that have protected speech longer than the U.S have been around).
Man if only people had access to a large online free global library.
It’s absolutely inciting violence, just using coded language.
This is just a race to the bottom and creating artificial work - folks creating poisoned data sets and then armies of data engineers who look at creating valid data sets for building models that can be grounded.
I've shown it to you on the 'doll', haven't I? I provided an English translation of the quote from Aktuellt, where they claimed that what was in fact an ethnic cleansing that was achieved through starvation and then artillery bombardment, that was left unmentioned over the many months over which it went on, was that 'Armenian separatists have agreed to leave Azerbaijan'.

I might well report it. I have in fact considered doing so, but it remains hypocrisy to spread disinformation while accusing others of doing so.

This is also quite special, since it is in fact support for ethnic cleansing. There is nothing more heinous, when it comes to pressetik, than what SVT have done.
Which law(s) did they break?
Figma and Adobe abandon proposed merger
The EU as well as nation states have laws to uphold and policy/social objectives that might require that. The way to change that is to change laws, customs, and objectives. You are welcome to push down that route, of course.
40 Percent of student loan borrowers missed first payment since Covid pause
In the US I always had to specifically ask to not have ice in my drinks.

That was one thing I could never wrap my head around.

The other thing was the extreme use of AC. I can understand AC to an extent, but they were making it so cold I had to bring extra clothes just to go in the supermarket for example - what the heck?!
I'm not as familiar with EU laws, but if I posted this joke online in the UK, then yes, it could easily be considered "grossly offensive" and therefore would be illegal.

I won't say it happens particularly often, but we do charge people in the UK for posting offensive jokes. Hell, you can be charged for saying something factually true if it's offensive in the UK.
So at Jane Street they made custom decks for this, they didn't start with a regular deck?
Ok, thanks for the clarification! I took "Without this, text encoding sniffing takes place" to mean that this happens in general.
many INS packages also include a DVL (Doppler velocity log) which measures speed over ground if you’re in range of the bottom.
China South City Warns Can't Pay Bond Interest Due Wednesday
Pretty sure socialblade is unmaintained, if the state of their blog is of any indication. There's been no updates there since 2020, with the last subject relating to COPPA enforcement on YouTube.

Given that specific subject did have a few follow-ups with no relevant notes published, my guess is that the site is mostly in maintenance mode/runs until it breaks with no active features being developed.
So next time there will be a disclaimer on the page that the non human customer support is just advice and cannot be relied on. And collectively we lose more trust in computing.
The Idea is even worse. It's not uncommon for artists to work a long time for next to nothing, until someday they have a big breakthrough. 10, 20 years are nothing. And while newer works are usually then one bringing a breakthrough, making good money with early works is also happening often. Usually, artist grow in their own little niche, until they hit mainstream.
You could call it the “genesis library” or GenLib for short
Yes, but it takes something special to cross the line into supporting ethnic cleansing through starvation and artillery bombardment.

SVT went from having problems to something at the edge of a folkrättsbrott.
Of all the things that I have, time and resources surely are scarce. Thanks for taking the time to read, cheers.
Seems like HN removed the “40” (percent) from the title. You can edit to add it back.
The limits on free speech in European countries are also much older in parts. The history in Europe on that topic is just very different from the US, I'd say.
Ask HN: Should academics be allowed to take in ChatGPT as a PhD student?
ChatGPT may not be up to the task right now, but maybe that's ok since it would have several years to complete its PhD.
Not any safeguard: You could have a human in the loop doing the filtering.

Would that be slower than having the human generate the responses? Perhaps.
I work at an international English speaking company. We all speak English.
I even talk to my colleges in the office English and we are not from/in an English speaking country.

Then there is our French site in Paris.
You write them a mail in English, they will answer in French. You chat them up in English they will answer in French.
They will hijack a group chat with +4000 people and just start writing in French. no f** given.
We wanted a English speaking technician on site. We got a choice.
We can get a person who speaks English or someone with technical skills,
but not both.
My experience is limited, but I understand where this stereotype is coming from.
Exactly. Because of this:

> The last thing I want as a reader is code examples that fail or behave oddly because they were run out of order. Or because I didn't run some cells. Or because I changed a cell and didn't re-run it.

> Codapi code cells, unlike Jupyter's, have no hidden state. Instead, they execute the whole chain of dependencies as needed to ensure that the reader gets a consistent result.
Haha, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-background_steel
Oh, this procedure will be running for years. Expect a few rounds of "we're not complying / we are complying / oh no you're not" as well, each of which taking over a year.
Well, there are many things that make the EC have a reputation of being slow.

One thing is just the transition periods you mention, then there is the delays caused by the need to have legislation at the EU levels turned into actual national legislation to be implemented.

Then there is the whole trialogue thing where, after first approving a draft law, the EP and the EC have to hold further negotiations on a common text while supervised by the Council, which tended to happen behind closed doors so the experience is that the contentious law that was just approved is quietly sucked into a black hole and then you might hear of it being passed only many many months later.

Finally, we also have instances like with the Chapter 7 investigations against Orban where the commission knows the council is likely to block any conclusions so there's no point in rapidly pushing ahead.
Yes, I consider 50k to 250k mid sized channels.

I'm aware that chances of becoming rich as a creator are minimal, but it may develop into a worthwhile hobby with an active community nonetheless. And if I utterly fail, I still have some experiences and a story to tell.
I totally get the mars thing now.
You are totally right.
It would have made my response much more complicated to include all the differences though.

I would still argue all I wrote above applies generally to all countries in the EU.

These are interesting questions, but an Nth variation of "prompt injection" via an alternative ChatGPT interface is not, and Chevy are not going to be liable to sell a $1 vehicle just because ChatGPT said they are.
"FSearch is primarily built to find files on the entire system instantly "

I am not sure, but I think my Bodhi "everything starter" solves this problem for me. If I look for something more specific, I use recoll.
Disappointing that the vast majority of top levels here are describing the EU as some sort of totalitarian police state. It does respect rights. Do the people in the USA think that every country should let its citizens act like uneducated armed griefers?
The twitterer is a renowned (and much accomplished!) sh*tposter, I highly suspect this was doctored. I believe Chevy caught onto this yesterday and reverted the ChatGPT function in the chat.

Regardless, still hilarious and potentially quite scary if the comments are tied to actions
Any attention to this phenomenon is a good thing.Exposure always helps.

North Korean Hackers Developing Malware in Dlang
Breaking down requirements and being the domain expert are not the same role. Engineers can break down requirements perfectly well given they have context of the code and systems and possibilities. A even bigger advantage is that there are multiple developers on team which means they can review each other's work. Just like a lone dev tends to go off the rails eventually so does a lone PM and almost all PMs are lone if they're the sole domain expert.
Not gonna lie. The moment a company refuses a refund or a return that complies with their policies, or just stalls me for more than 30 minutes, I'm calling a governmental customer protection agency and issuing a "comply or get sued" through them.

Wow, libraries general! We can call it libgen for short.
That's actually very common in Hollywood. Wait if a work survives the test of time. And then reap on the now money-loaded customers and cash out from their reminiscence.
The only correct user of generative ai is one that can evaluate the results. Which is why it’s not a tool for non subject area experts.

That’s the conclusion I’ve drawn anyway. So it’s a good tool for the customer service team not a replacement for it
now I'm guessing, but perhaps it's like if you walk up the aisle of a moving train, how fast are you travelling? And how fast does it feel like you're travelling?

> Warning: this report contains a wide range of words which may cause offence.

So does a dictionary. There is a world of difference between using a swear word or slur, for example, and citing those words as pieces of language.
So I googled, and it seems that sales have increased every year from 2005 to 2022, but sales in 2023 will be only slightly higher than those in 2021. "Collapse" doesn't seem quite right.
Pirsch was also recommended by others and looks like a product I'll be considering for projects with the resources to use a non-free tool. For my website, however, I think it might not be worth the spend for me.

Thanks for reading the post, cheers.
And about time. The EU (and the US even more so) has been pretty ignorant about the way hostile anti-democratic regimes wage war against free and democratic societies.

For dictatorships a misinformation campaign is both way more effective and cheaper than a single Mig fighter jet. This asymmetric war was already a big problem, but the oligarch Musk might have been too loud a siren for the sleepy lawmakers that believed that democracies will survive no matter how much you are killing its base.

- yes, there are all kind of problems people are rightly upset about.

- yes, politicians have traded trust for political results.

- yes, the US/EU has also failed by opting for "Real Politik" instead of values.

- no, a whattabouttism doesn´t help our societies. Instead, fight to preserve and improve
what we inherited.

- no, helping to fuel distrust undercuts the fabric of our societies.
Helmholtz absorbers have been used for some time in built spaces. Look for a pattern of slats or holes like perfboard, often on the rear wall of the space. Lecture halls, museums, performing arts, and the like.

Mr.Beast was offered $1B for his entire operation, which he turned down. So $4.6M/month sounds too low.
Indeed. People forget that e.g. Portugal, Greece, and Spain were dictatorships until the 70s, and that a lot of eastern EU was under Communism until 1990s.

"The EU" is not equivalent to "France and Germany", despite what they think.

The undue focus and almost wistful romanticization/fetishization of Servo is frankly weird, especially when it comes from people with only a tenuous grasp of (let alone hands-on relationship with) browser engine internals. I'm talking about tech news writers and kind-of-but-not-really technical commenters on e.g. Reddit who confabulate their own lore in the spirit of those press accounts, etc.

Firefox uses Gecko as its browser engine. The worthwhile parts of Servo are already in Firefox by way of Gecko. Servo is not The Answer to all of life's problems.

Or, to answer your question more bluntly: "No. Stop asking."

Movie ticket sales not comparable to Youtube revenue numbers. Studio gets probably 50% of a ticket sales. Movies are getting longer as well and that needs a big cast and crew. Whereas Youtube movies are optimal around the 10 minute mark - so the cost of production will be a lot lower.

We're comparing apples and oranges.

You should speak to people who tried it for years without any success, or those who stream on Twitch for nobody and never get traction.

Sure if it's a hobby that's fine but you don't have a topic yet and it seems the money is your motivating factor, not a good start IMHO.

I feel for artists to an extent but no way are they going to succeed „ruining AI“ by poisoning image data sets.
And even if that was feasible, what the hell do they gain?

This is the whole „photography is not art“ or „digital image manipulation is not art“ or „oil painting is not art“ discussion all over again and I can believe serious artists actually take pet in this luddite theatre.
Honestly, as a Figma user and fan, this is great news. For Figma employees probably not so much.
Thanks for that answer, and I fully agree, it only takes some copyright strikes, algorithm changes, a locked Google account and the money from Google stops.
It was in September, after the Karabach-Armenians agreed to the opening of Agdam road into Nagorno-Karabach, which was to be opened along with the Lachin corridor.

After letting through some small amount of supplies Azerbaijan then invaded along the Agdam road instead, putting them in a position to bombard Stepanakert with artillery, which of course, they did.

When the Karabach-Armenians then fled, SVT said that 'Armenian separatists have agreed to leave Azerbaijan', which is of course incredibly misleading.
I think the linked article title sounds more natural in English

Edit: Ahhh wait AVM is being threatened with a ban, my mistake
10€ says, it's not "the EU" but some (probably not European) lobbyists using the EU as an attack dog, because they are so conveniently corruptible. We are going to be seeing more of this in the future. American/Foreign elites using EU apparatus to attack other American/Foreign elites.
Still even with exception support enabled I can't see what you can do with a function that throws that you cannot do with a function that returns maybe not Option<T>, but Result<T, E> in fewer lines of code.

Disabling exceptions is indeed not in the standard, probably because of Stroustrup's position (I respect many of his opinions, but cannot agree with this one) - but it's what every sane compiler, especially a one targeted at embedded systems, will support. Exceptions are designed for a controlled environment where a program terminating will return to somewhere that will maybe add a line to a logging system and restart it automatically. It only complicates things when terminating is an unacceptable scenario.
