This project tries to both be open source and accessible to regular people. And it kinda succeeds :)

For the end users, there's a telegram group where people can share standardised PCBs for rooting common robots sold in Europe. And the project's main developer is even in there actively helping out. But discussion about forks or custom PCBs is frowned upon, as that would only confuse the non-devs.

On the developer side, thought, making things easy and standardised required some trade-offs like not supporting any robot-specific functionality. That means if you're a power user, you'll probably run your own fork.

So in a way, installing Valetudo moves you from a Chinese closed-source walled garden into a European source-available walled garden. That said, I'm extremely happy with my (private, unsupported) fork running on 2x Dreame W10.
No one banned nuclear. But of course it is the only sensible reaction to such an incident to check your designs for faults and review all reactors under construction. And then decide whether it is prudent to continue with the construction and which changes would be required.
I feel there is more general mechanism that drives behaviors like this, In my opinion people tend to promote those things cultivated by their tribe, so they feel their sense of being part of that tribe is reinforced. I think most tribes are imaginary, and people do things to feed internal sense of being counted as member.
According to this thread [1] (and an unrelated one I can't find anymore) some printer manufacturer region lock their printers accepted cartridges, which makes the product useless in some circumstances just because of your location.

I think the incentive is money. 1 train is worth much money, a single printer is not. Most people won't have any issue with the printer and if so, loss is low. If just 1 train has this issue, loss might be huge.

SQLite is not a pure Java program, it requires JNI to be called by java, which is inefficient and somewhat complex. esProc SPL is a pure Java program and can be integrated in Java Application seemlessly.
For Java application, esProc is more suitable. and for non-Java program, SQLite is the best.

>Is that fair use? IANAL, but doesn't sound like it.

If you pay someone to do the summarisation for you, then you publish the content and charge a fee for it, you're the one liable, not the person you paid to summarise it for you. Similarly if you ask GPT to do it for you, then publish it, you're liable for what you publish; GPT is just a summarisation tool.

Many people seem to believe that keeping your 2FA keys in an un-backupable mobile app and away from your computer is safer than keeping it in your backupable and multi-device password manager.
There is another fix, but it will have to wait for GPT-5. They could reword articles, summarize in different words and analyze their contents, creating sufficiently different variants. The ideas would be kept, but original expression stripped. Then train GPT5 on this data. The model can't possibly regurgitate copyrighted content if they never saw it during training.

This can be further coupled with search - use GPT to look at multiple sources at once, and report. It's what humans do as well, we read the same news in different sources to get a more balanced take. Maybe they have contradictions, maybe they have inaccuracies, biases. We could keep that analysis for training models. This would also improve the training set.
Actually it’s not good enough there because JavaScript numbers are f64 rather than u32. Even if you only support the safe integer range (beyond which the answers become somewhat meaningless), that’s 2⁵⁴, more than four million times as large as 2³². Not sure how big the machine code would be, but I’m guessing it’ll just add 4 bytes (40%) to each case, so you’re up to something like 224 exibytes. And that’s when you’re being lazy and skipping the last ten bits’ worth. If you want to do it properly, multiply by another thousand. Or maybe a little less, I haven’t thought too deeply about NaN patterns. Or maybe just infinite if it supports bigints.

This case in fact proves that we provide privacy by default, as it shows that no legal request can bypass the encryprion we provide. The email content (including attachments, calendars, files on Proton Drive and items on Proton Pass) stored encrypted on our servers remains inaccessible to us due to zero-access architecture we use ( https://proton.me/blog/zero-access-encryption ), and therefore, we are not able to share it with any third-parties in an unencrypted form.
NYT's perspective is going to look so stupid in future when we put LLMs into mechanical bodies with the ability to interact with the physical world, and to learn/update their weights live. It would make it completely illegal for such a robot to read/watch/listen to any copyrighted material; no watching TV, no reading library books, no browsing the internet, because in doing so it could memorise some copyrighted content.
So you're saying that instead of learning from a single project we made the same mistakes four times at once?
tl; dr

Bonham and colleagues studied a cohort of 381 children from just 40 days to 10 years of age. Using genetic analysis, the researchers established the communities of bacteria present in the children's microbiome. The children were subjected to a range of age-appropriate cognitive testing and MRI scanning was used to assessed the structure of their brains.

A clear associations was found between certain bacterial species and higher cognitive function, while other species were associated with lower cognitive scores. Computer models could also predict the structure and volume of different brain regions based on the child's microbial profile alone. However, it is still too early to determine whether a causal relationship exists between the microbial species and enhanced cognitive abilities.
It’s true, the great thing about clean, reusable, modular code like this is that you can compose both of these packages to make a is-even-or-odd package.

At the same time became a bit obsessed with the Smothers Brothers, remember saying to a friend they gave off ultimate cool uncle vibes, so wholesome that they could be deceptively biting and irreverent.

I would be surprised if the James Bond people don't take issue with the 007 moniker. There have been "007 Edition" BMWs in the past, and given the spy's association with cars, it could be argued that a "Zeekr 007" could be confused as being associated with the movie franchise.

Blocking EU IPs would go against the open source definition and the Debian social contract; discrimination against groups of people.
Perhaps cases like this are good. Most people dont mind DRM at all, they couldnt even tell you what it is though their phones / cars / etc. are riddled with it.

A case like this involving a train that wont move is something that's easy to comprehend for the general public and is clearly utter bullshit.
This is nice - I built a system along these lines about 4 years ago, and I struggled to find a comprehensive resource like this.

In particular I like the ‘do you really need a battery’ part. My system is over-spec (partly because small solar panels aren’t really worth buying any more) but the battery is really overkill for the lighting setup it currently powers.

The nudge to think about using a convertor plus Lithium-Iron power banks would have probably made me think about switching to that approach until I needed higher amounts of storage.
To be fair, one could outcrack even the most cracked of the crackpots, and as long as it was in the default style that every LaTeX article uses, it would immediately have a veneer of credibility
Many teams will just use squash merges to avoid wasting time on commit messages and end up with just one commit to the main branch and cleaner history.
That's a good point. I'm not sure how attribution should even be done in this situation though, considering that we have millions (billions?) of sources. A mega attribution file, maybe?

As a creator I feel like that's not very useful, to be a single name in billions. Of course I'd still like attribution if the work was significantly based on mine.
Many (most?) of them have been overhauled with success. For find there is fd[1]. There's batcat, exa (ls), ripgrep, fzf, atuin (history), delta (diff) and many more.

Most are both backwards compatible and fresh and friendly. Your hardwon muscle memory still of good use. But there's sane flags and defaults too. It's faster, more colorful (if you wish), better integration with another (e.g. exa/eza or aware of git modifications). And, in my case, often features I never knew I needed (atuin sync!, ripgrep using gitignore).

“As if LLMs are doing something creative and aren’t just algorithms”

You have no idea what you’re talking about huh?
Somewhat pedantic here, but would the authors use of python to generate C code be considered metaprogramming as opposed to code generation? I thought metaprogramming typically involved writing code that can alter/augment itself, like new syntax.

Personally, I have found a lot of use in code generation, for example using RTKQuery's codegen tool that accepts an OpenAPI schema and outputs a JS client.
There are modern alternatives to many of the classic utils e.g. `fd` for find, with better CLI args and other improvements

ripgrep for grep also comes to mind
Will it? If the LLM in the body is allowed to read nytimes on a tablet I'm sure they wouldn't care.
Imagine a YouTuber who spends 100 hours creating a fantastic video. Shortly after uploading it, an automated scraper program downloads it and re-uploads it. This program has been running a while, and since (in this imaginary society) there is no copyright protection, no one cares that it was shamelessly copied, and thus this re-upload channel has built up 1M subscribers over the past few years. It makes $100K on the re-uploaded video. The original content creator makes $10 on their ?copy?. The original content creator happens to be a churchgoing government worker, thus their plight should be ignored: they're just being controlling.
NYT do not "have" content, they create content. It's their raison d'etre.

There's probably many more.
HP does this. I'm not sure if you can reset the value after moving, but the cartridges have a "Region" value.

The cartridge region is printed per cartridge while printing "print quality" reports which prints full-nozzle lines to see whether there are any persistently clogged nozzles on your printhead.
Of course, cars and engines in particular are more durable today. This is due to technological progress. Cars weren't designed to be unreliable back then, they were unreliable because they couldn't do any better. Two or three years ago, I bought a pair of headphones for 200 euros that looked pretty high quality. They're now so broken that I have to hold them together with gaffer tape. Soon they'll be rotting (or not rotting) in some landfill. It's common knowledge that everyday objects are now deliberately produced in such a way that they don't last long. That's not a conspiracy theory.
It depends on your definitions and assumptions. Here 'n' is not the address, but the size of memory (or the largest possible/worst-case address). In the universe we inhabit, due to limitations on information density in a given volume[1], the worst-case random access time for a memory of size 'n' would be the cube root of 'n', because you need to transmit a signal at the speed of light between to points inside a sphere.

Real computers tend not to be able to store their information in all three dimensions (I think I once saw an argument for why this is also theoretically not feasible), and in practice appear to have worst-case access times that are logarithmic. It's fundamentally for the same reason: the bigger your memory, the more distant will be the most remote (worst-case) part of it.

Of course, in a single specific desktop or server computer, changing the capacity of your RAM sticks will likely not affect worst case access speeds, because the speed limit is likely based on the maximum capacity of the machine (a constant). So this kind of analysis is useful for pondering the ultimate limits of worst case memory accesses (and does also have some relevance huge computers), but in practice you will of course find that cache/locality effects are far more important for performance on real computers.

[1]: Since information is energy and therefore mass, a sufficiently dense store of information would collapse into a singularity, and you better hope your pointer doesn't point into one of those.
Are subscriptions to Consumer Reports up? They sort out good stuff from crap.
Clash isn't really a separate language, it's more of a library+scaffolding+tooling for Haskell.
I think it's different. LLMs can solve problems. Part of that problem-solving ability comes from training completely unrelated content such as NYT articles. GPT4 doesn't have to spit out NYT articles verbatim to have benefited from NYT articles. It uses NYT articles for every query.
The number of unique values in the bloom filter will go up ~exponentially with n. So to control the false positive rate the bloom filter has to grow.
Those "hundreds" are nameplate capacities. For wind/solar you need to divide them by factor of 6 to even get to actual average production, as the capacity factor of wind/solar is below 15%, whereas for nuclear plants it is greater than 90%.

And of course average is not good enough for an electric grid, the variance is highly relevant. As my statistics professor used to quiet: if your left leg is standing in liquid nitrogen and your right leg is standing in boiling oil, you are enjoying a perfectly comfortable mean temperature.

Variance matters. A lot. In an electric grid, you need to be able to cover minimum requirements even when solar and wind are having a bad day or night.

China got their solar industry financed by German subsidies, and they have plentiful deserts with lots of sunshine. The Gobi desert is the place on earth with the most sunshine hours, apparently more than the Sahara(!). It would be insane for them to not take advantage of that to reduce their use of coal, now at what, 65%?

But they also apparently think that safe, reliable and cheap nuclear energy is an important part of their energy mix, otherwise they wouldn't be planning on tripling their generating capacity, would they now?
>making training them at scale legally perilous

Loading data to which you have no rights over into your software is legally perilous, yes.

It's as easy as simply asking for and receiving permission from the data's rightsholders (which might require exchange of coin) to make it not legally perilous.
If we take familiarity out of the equation, why is a web server inherently better implemented in an imperative style rather than a functional one using monads?
I'm skeptical, but not yet to the point of finding it impossible.

First of course: Correlation != Causation. Affluent families will eat different foods than poor families, but will also have more opportunities for cognitive development.

So maybe this result is: Just in! Rich folk eat different stuff than poor folks.

Second: the sample size is smallish. Not laughably smallish. But given the complexity of the microbiome, couldn't you predict pretty much anything? I'd suspect that after a random permutation of inputs and output, you could still predict anything. Probably, they controlled for this, but I'm still looking for the paper.

Third: The age range from 40 days to 10 years is so large, huge changes will occurs in the microbiome in that time frame. Is there a magic thing, already in the gut of a 40 day year old baby, and still there 10 years later, that predicts brain size? That seems unlikely.

update: Found the paper, still have to read it though. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.13.944181v5....
The time to have done it was the first release of Python 3 when everything else was breaking anyway. The ship has sailed.
Unless you think PyPI is guided by that belief, that doesn't explain why they don't list desktop solutions.
In this limited example, are there such consequences? Are people dropping NYT subscriptions because they trust chatgpt to inform them of current events? I don’t buy it.
I disagree. The verbatim part is the problem. You’re drawing a comparison to how humans operate except we’re not allowed to operate like that.

While harder to do as a human, if memorised a copyrighted book and then did a live reading on TV, or produced replicas from memory and sold them (the most comparable example), I’d be sued.

Humans produce derivative work all the time, and it’s fine for LLM’s to do that, but you can’t do it verbatim.
>> Just like "mostly secure," "mostly pure" is wishful thinking. The slightest implicit imperative effect erases all the benefits of purity, just as a single bacterium can infect a sterile wound.

> Taking the analogy to its logical conclusion, the only healthy diet is a 100% strict diet allowing no impure substances. Very few people can actually live this way and it's questionable whether anyone should.

I have a simpler one: "Mostly const".

Mostly-const gives you the best of both worlds: you get the benefits of knowing it stays the same, and the practicaliy of being able to change it (despite those const zealots who demand that you shouldn't change const variables)

Erik Meijer is pushing back on language designers that push self-contradictory feature: "It's OO AND functional! Best of both worlds."
I read about this in the Times today (and am surprised that it wasn't on HN already).

My guess is that the court will likely find in the Times favor, because the legal system won't be able to understand how training works and because people are "scared" of AI. To me, reading a book, putting it in some storage system, and then recalling it to form future thoughts is fair use. It's what we all do all the time, and I think that's exactly what training is. I might say something like "I, for one, welcome our new LLM overlords". Am I infringing the copyright of The Simpsons? No.

I am guessing some technicality like a terms-of-use violation of the website (avoidable if you go to the library and type in back issues of the Times), or storing the text between training sessions is what will do OpenAI in here. The legal system has never been particularly comfortable with how computers work; for example, the only reason EULAs work is because you "copy" software when your OS reads the program off of disk into memory (and from memory into cache, and from cache into registers). That would be copyright infringement according to courts, so you have to agree to a license to get that permission.

I think the precedent on copyright law is way off base, granting too much power to authors and too little to user. But because it's so favorable towards "rightsholders", I expect the Times to prevail here.
1.1GW for 30 BILLION dollars? Jeez, that's an insane amount of money for this little power.

Probably pretty high cost per kWh, too, which has to be guaranteed by the government I guess.

For comparison in my country they built a 1,6GW off-shore windfarm in 2 years with 0 government subsidy.

I understand that a nuclear plant provides power 24/7, so it's not an entirely fair comparison. But the cost of nuclear power is just insane compared to wind and PV.

It's just setting up your country for higher energy cost than needed for the next 40 years, while the government takes all the risk.
