Red Hat has not fucking stopped making its source available. It's making it difficult for non-customers to get the source, and that is within their right. The GPL family of licenses do not state that (1) you're obliged to redistribute anything to anyone; or that (2) if you redistribute binaries to Party A, you're obliged to redistribute sources to Party B (let alone the entire public).

Red Hat's behavior is not any kind of loophole in FOSS licensing that's worth worrying about. It's just a shenanigan they are pulling because they think it will help them stay paid.

The loopholes worth fussing about are SaaS (peple having absolutely no control over the software because they are using someone else's installation remotely) and tivoization (locked down hardware preventing users from exercising their rights in regard to the FOSS operating system it runs)
I’m not an expert in AI training, but I don’t think it’s as simple as storing writing. It does seem to be possible to get the system to regurgitate training material verbatim in some cases, but my understanding is that the text is generated probabilistically.

It seems like a very difficult engineering challenge to provide attribution for content generated by LLMs, while preserving the traits that make them more useful than a “mere” search engine.

Which is to say nothing about whether that challenge is worth taking on.
People who can't hear, just for example?

And fwiw, "this isn't condensed enough" could be applied to 100% of novels, achieving a 100% compression rate, since none of it is useful.

I'm very sorry if you're the one person with a cockroach infestation that has to be eradicated right now and you critically depend on the information in this one article and don't have access to any other resources, but maybe just accept that there are different writing styles for different things, audiences, and even over time for the same person.
I am not saying that NYT will win, but I think it is more likely to win because it has many more supporters (including politicians, judges) than developers do.
They are distributing the output, so they (implicitly) claim to have the right to distribute it. I can send you a movie I downloaded along with a license that says "I hereby assign to you all our right, title, and interest, if any, in and to Output. ", I'm still obviously infringing on the copyright of that movie (unless I have a deal that allows re-distribution, of course, as Netflix does).
... and congenital deafness, low length growth, neurological impairment, and other symptoms known as Congenital iodine deficiency syndrome.
So you want all the profit to be sucked up by the three companies that can afford to make deals with rights holders to slurp up all their content?

Making the process for training AI require an army of lawyers and industry connections will have the opposite effect than you intend.
It’s regarding the arrangement of LED’s and sensors in the watch, along with the signal processing needed to get reasonable data out of them.

My impression of the whole debacle is that Masimo hired up a bunch of smart people, they invented this tech while being paid next-to-nothing by Masimo (as Masimo didn’t have the product development chops to actually bring anything to market), Apple saw that the tech was good and just neeeed a product/marketing team, Apple tried to acquire Masimo, their CEO tried to play hard to get, so Apple ”stole” (offered compensation commensurate to their technical prowess) all the engineers who actually made the thing and just built it in house from “scratch”.

It’s a tricky case to be sure. But I’m all for the outcome where consumers get cool tech and the people who actually made it (notably not the Masimo CEO) get fair compensation for their work.

The aspect a lot of people here gloss over is that the patent that Masimo owns wasn’t actually developed by anyone currently at Masimo. Apple “owns” all the people, but Masimo “owns” their accomplishments. It’s weird.
Many FPS games move the camera by listening to relative mouse movements and moving your camera a corresponding amount, while keeping your cursor hidden and in the center of the screen. Absolute movements cause different issues depending on the particular game.

I am not familiar with HID but I assume there is a way for the computer to provide feedback to the input device about the cursor’s current position. If that’s correct, it could probably be done with relative movements just fine.
The ITC doesn't have the power to award monetary damages to Masimo for Apple's alleged infringement. For that, you need to go to court. The ITC is a specialized forum for trade disputes.

Masimo actually did sue Apple in Federal court for damages, but the judge declared a mistrial after the jury deadlocked 6-1 in favor of Apple.
Source code availability (and the ability to modify the code on a device) is the most important part, IMO , regardless of RMS's original intention. Do you feel that it's ethical that OpenAI is keeping their model closed?
If the purpose of life is any broader than “construct a beautiful fantasy world” then such an approach is a mistake
Are you assuming I didn't already do that? For your information I've written an entire cryptographic library in C https://monocypher.org and routinely chose C over C++. My claim that C is broken beyond repair doesn't come from ignorance or hype, it comes from over 15 years of first hand experience.

And of course, GC and RC aren't fixes, they can't apply in the performance constrained settings C and C++ typically are used for (tiny embedded chips, video games, video encoding…).

Also there's no way I'll even look at a new language without some form of generics. They're just too damn useful. Sure we could try the Go approach and special case generics for a few core data structures, but I believe a general purpose language needs a way to add custom ones. Heck, even Go fixed its mistakes and added generics after all.
It seems weird to sue an AI company because their tool "can recite [copyrighted]" content verbatim.

If I paid a human to recite the whole front page of the New York Times to me, they could probably do it. There's nothing infringing about that. However, if I videotape them reciting the front page of the New York Times and start selling that video, then I'd be infringing on the copyright.

The guy that I paid to tell me about what NYT was saying didn't do anything wrong. Whether there's any copyright infringement would depend what I did with the output.
The most interesting one to me is the black and white photograph of the woman giving her teeth diamond grills.
Agreed. I think it's more likely that we'll reach a point where their complexity is so great that no single person can usefully reason about their outputs in relation to their structure.

Not so much a them waking up as an us falling asleep.
Your analogy doesn't make sense either.

If we could clone the brain of someone I hardly think we'd be discussing their vast knowledge of something so insignificant as the NYT. I don't think we should care that much about an AI's vast knowledge of the NYT either or why it matters.

If all these journalism companies don't want to provide the content for free they're perfectly capable of throwing the entire website behind a login screen. Twitter was doing it at one point. In a similar vein, I have no idea why newspapers are complaining about readership while also paywalling everything in sight. How exactly do they want or expect to be paid?
How much ongoing development is needed for something like this? I've been using synergy/barrier for years and the features I need have changed barely if at all during that time. Seems like a prime candidate for "finished" software.
If the future AI can indeed cure disease my mission of working in drug discovery will be complete. I’d much rather help cure people (my brother died of melanoma) than protect any patent rights or copyrighted text.
Most (almost all) of Dan Carlin's podcasts are nothing short of excellent. Twilight of the Æsir Parts I and II are top quality.

Apart from that I used to listen to Mike Duncan's Revolutions series, even though he finished up that project in 2022.

Likewise the BBC produced an Apollo-era podcast called 13 Minute to the Moon, which was excellent, and technical enough to keep even a space nerd like me interested. Shout-out too to the Space Above Us, for technical excellence in all things Mercury to STS.

Wild card was any of the Anomalous Podcast Network's output, which seems to have stopped around May. Look for anything with Dave Clarke or Graeme Rendall in it.
People are lonely and today's kids are going to have it worse.

Society is moving to extreme individualism wether it wants it or not.
Microsoft really wants to take on that liability? I'm all for nuclear power, but this is a weird choice that I assume has some insane legal team maneuvering behind it. "Powering data centres" seems like a weak reason.
My adjacent conspiracy theory is that the NSA and other state agencies do both original research and pay hackers for exploits that Apple hasn’t yet discovered.
There's already precedence for this in news: News outlets constantly report on each other's stories. That's why they care so much about being first on a story, because once they break it, it is fair game for everyone else to report on it too.

Here's a hypothetical: suppose there is a random fact about some news event that has only been reported in a single article. Do they suddenly have a monopoly on that fact, and deserve compensation whenever that fact gets picked up and repeated by other news articles or books or TV shows or movies (or AI models)?
Regression is a good analogy of the problem here. If you found a line of best fit for some datapoints, how would you get back the original datapoints, from the line?

Now imagine terabytes worth of datapoints, and thousands of dimensions rather than two.
That's not entirely true. I have 1080p screens abd it's still noticeable the downgrade. Even ori and the blind forest (2d+3d) looks way worse than my pc
It's generally frowned upon to try and exploit the HN community purely for business, in particular recruitment where recruiters are dime a dozen.

Look for the monthly "Who wants to be hired?" and "Who's hiring?" submissions.
Only if the bug was caught after the computer had been assembled for the mission. For development, they used a simulator. Basically, a cable connected to a mainframe, with the bigger computer simulating the signals a bundle of core rope would produce.
What I find from many of my adult iPhone-using friends is that they've got Whatsapp installed and they'll reply to me if I message them there, but when they want to send me something out of the blue they forget about Whatsapp and it comes through over SMS because they're so used to sharing via 'Messages'. The exception would be the persistent group chats in WhatsApp, they seem to think of these like 'chat rooms' from back in the day. In fact, I would go further to say that WhatsApp is preferred in my age cohort for group messaging and organization purposes because it solves the "green bubble problem".
Apple Watch Sales Ban Is Put on Hold by US Appeals Court
That's irrelevant. The main point is that they are re-distributing the content without permission from the copyright owners, so they are sort of implicitly claiming they have copy/distribution rights over it. Since they don't, then it's obvious they can't give you this content at all.
Had similar issues. Not necessarily that you went too fast, but that you didn’t also give attention to your back and abs. Weak abs can cause back pain.

work songs solve a synchronisation problem; do other primates have anything similar?
Public speaking and communication. I joined my local toastmasters and we meet in person every week. I want to give atleast 1-2 speeches a month (5-7min) and get comfortable with speaking in front of people.
If they kept coming back, that means you never really exterminated the population, just got their numbers low. You need to make the population go extinct
I honestly thought that OpenAI had simply paid for access to the new corpus. I'm actually on the side of OpenAI here - if you put something on the web, you can't get upset when people read it. Training a neural network is not functionally different from a human reading it and remembering it.

But if I were OpenAI, I would have tried to do a deal to pay them anyway. Having official access is surely easier than scraping the web - and the optics of it is much better.
With VR headsets and increasing 8k TV affordability, screen real estate is really getting big.

Technies almost always have a laptop, phone, and home desktop up at once, often have some media/fileshare, and then there are VMs to further the complexity.

Here's what I've been wanting for years: a big ass 8k wraparound monitor, and it has clickable widgets in the desktop to turn on the computer/VM and activate the display feed into some part of the desktop.

There's a primary desktop area, and that area is surrounded by "neutral zones/buffer zones where if you take the mouse into that area and click on it, it would swap the "primary" area to that machine and place the former machine's display into one of the peripheral areas of the large display, or secondary monitors.

With "cores to spare" in modern Moore's law scaling, I should be able to have several OSes seamlessly running at once, not the virtualbox stuff or other clunkiness, a much more seamless experience. There's a lot of hardware/CPU features to support it, but of course the OS vendors/distros have no prioritization to do something like that. It's also a fundamental failing of IoT.

We are all moving towards a world where we have a dozen decent-class computing devices (Multicore multiGhz phone, 2x that for a tablet, 2x that for a laptop, and 2x that for a desktop) even not counting IoT, media, etc.

We need a truly distributed OS that can handle this stuff. Windows/Android/iOS/OSX won't do it, they are in the walled garden business we need Linux to do it. The cloud projects, k8s / etc wanted a "datacenter OS" but basically failed.
I tried to use this for a while but it didn't work well when using different VPNs on different computers. So, I bought a commercial device similar to the DIY one here and it works amazingly well. It doesn't require you to log in to the computers first and you can switch by moving across screen edges or with a series of keystrokes. You can also switch the attached USB devices independently of the keyboard and mouse.

The product is sometimes called a boundless, borderless, or roaming KM switch.

There are different types of insulin (short acting, long acting) and the cheapest version isn't always best for a specific person depending on their individual situation. If you want more information on the structural factors of the unaffordability of insulin this article could help: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8597930/
Nothing wrong with cgi, it fills a distinct convention for interfacing a program with a web server. The real wtf is fastcgi. There is no good reason for fastcgi to exist, let alone be popular. it is almost like everybody got in the habit that you needed cgi to hook your program to a web server. Then, when we wanted persistent processes for efficiency, there was a collective brain fart, we forgot that http exists and went with a incompatible worse protocol on the sole basis that it has CGI in the name.
I use wayland and been for some time, never had an issue so far, so for me it’s perfect.
There is plenty of evidence, including in written records (writing dates back ~5,200 yrs). We have actual stone tools from millions of years ago; metal tools from thousands of years ago should be relatively abundant.

Take a look online and you can find much written about it. Encyclopedia Britannica is often a good starting point, or the literature review in a scholarly article (via scholar.google.com).
They lowered the price at some point in the few years, at least on some versions.
Im not sure if Julia will ever take off. Right now there are huge investments in the AI space and Julia has no presence in those.
I highly recommend the poems in:

The World Doesn't End by Charles Simic

Haunting images.
In Germany you certainly can't. They would outlaw handsoap if they could get away with it.
There are now several open source models that are fine tuned for function calling including:

* Functionary [https://github.com/MeetKai/functionary]

* NexusRaven [https://github.com/nexusflowai/NexusRaven-V2]

* Gorilla [https://github.com/ShishirPatil/gorilla]

Could be interesting to try some of these exercises with these models.
It sounds like we should just make all these AI open source and freely available to prevent any single individuals or corporations from monopolizing the profit off of it.
So, a financial write off? Happens all the time, with all kinds of cars for all kinds of reasons: repair costs more than the cars value, insurance pays you the amount needed to buy an equivalent car. If it wasn't for EVs and batteries, I guess it wouldn't even have made the headlines.
Interesting problem domain, though the skeptic might suggest that any proposed global amendment to social contract at the intersection of technology, commerce and existing multi-jurisdiction legal systems is going to be a "hard sell" with minor traction at best.

It seems the majority of technology's social influence appears to be heavily clustered toward the early phase of either abject redefinition of existing domains (eg. mass manufacturing) or the introduction of completely novel domains (eg. internet). Once popularity is achieved you tend to see a social norm forming around the new technology and old hierarchies and interests reasserted. We've seen this, for example, with industries such as advertising, media conglomerates and banking surviving the internet.

Given this broad pattern, perhaps a more appropriate pathway to explore if seeking globally significant structural evolution in the social contract might be retaking direct ownership of hardware and services. Some potentially aligned contemporary parallel macro-opportunities include the growing devolution of tertiary education (ie. potential for public uptake of a parallel pedagogical pathways leading to increased youth involvement), greatly reduced custom hardware fabrication costs, affordable non-cellular wireless hardware (wifi mesh/LoRa), existing open courseware, increasing global recognition of the urgency and severity of trans-national environmental challenges, and the dangling UBI social question.

But while the engaged learner clearly benefits from openness and information (at least until they encounter commerce), and a business might be said to enjoy access to a pool of better educated employees and reduced operating costs, ultimately corporate position in most markets depends upon the maintenance of an edge which is historically based on either trade secrets or government-mandated monopoly (patent law) neither of which are particularly applicable to software or business methods and thus the open source movement.

This would appear to be the unresolved dichotomous core of the issue.
Type 2 diabetes is not a single disease, but rather a combination of failed signaling pathways in a variety of tissue.

For some people, they will have insulin resistance in fat cells, so lipolysis continues even during high insulin levels.

Some people will have hepatic insulin resistance so their liver does not uptake glucose as glycogen as readily or inhibit gluconeogenesis.

Some people will have insulin resistance in the pancreatic alpha cells, so glucagon production continues in the presence of insulin.

Some people will have skeletal muscle tissue insulin resistance, where excess glucose is not as readily taken up by skeletal muscle tissue (our most metabolic active tissue).

Some people can also have insulin resistance along side decreased insulin production in the pancreatic beta cells. This is mixed type 1 and type 2.
People rant about Tesla non stop, but they’ll approve my 100kw battery replacement for $10k-$15k and I’ll be on my way. I can even do it through the Tesla app. Most people can’t afford this themselves out of pocket; that is a call to provide financing with the battery as collateral, just as we do with the entire vehicle today. Even with a battery replacement out of warranty, you come out ahead total cost of ownership due to fuel cost delta between electricity and petrol.
What's up Python? Epic CPython commit, Django 5 and 2FA for PyPI
I've been really into comedy DnD podcasts this year, and highly recommend "Dragon Friends" ( https://thedragonfriends.com/ ), a comedy DnD podcast by Australian comedians done live, with musical accompaniment, every month. I haven't actually caught up to current though, so it doesn't quite fit the brief.

A single 2023 episode I did quite enjoy was the McElroy's live Adventure Zone in Columbus where they all play as reanimated skeletons: https://maximumfun.org/episodes/adventure-zone/the-adventure...
I wonder why apple didn't simply license the oxygen sensing tech. in the first place? Hypothetically, how would this have impacted revenue? Genuinely curious.
didnt they just get caught for pantent infrigment? I'm sure they've done their fair share of shady stuff with the AI datasets too, they are just going to do a stellar job of conciling it.
The reason copyright promotes progress is that it incentives individuals and organizations to release works publicly, knowing their works are protected against unlawful copying.

The end game when large content producers like The New York Times are squeezed due to copyright not being enforced is that they will become more draconian in their DRM measures. If you don't like paywalls now, watch out for what happens if a free-for-all is allowed for model training on copyrighted works without monetary compensation.

I had a similar conversation with my brother-in-law who's an economist by training, but now works in data science. Initially he was in the side of OpenAI, said that model training data is fair game. After probing him, he came to the same conclusion I describe: not enforcing copyright for model training data will just result in a tightening of free access to data.

We're already seeing it from the likes of Twitter/X and Reddit. That trend is likely to spread to more content-rich companies and get even more draconian as time goes on.
There's the "uber sleep" method or whatever it's called. Made the rounds in my circle of friends in like...2007ish?

Basically you force yourself to only take 4 15 minute naps a day. A utterly hellish thing to do, but eventually your brain figures out that you've decided to terrorize it and will instantly dip into REM the moment you fall asleep, and you'll wake up feeling rested and only need to sleep an hour a day.

I personally tried this for a bit and it kinda sorta works, but it's awful to get started, and the first time you sleep more than 15 minutes you're going to break the trend and revert, and who knows what long term effects it has on people.

Sleep in general is one of those really interesting areas of biology that we still don't get.

The class clowns of dark patterns.

I share my brothers prime, so I havent personally had it since this incident:

Prime I cancelled prime before it was to renew. When it renewed - they charged me the $99 and I had just paid my rent and in that window didnt have the $99 in the account when the prime renewed (that I had previously canceled)

I was hit with a $25 overdraft fee when prime hit.

I called them, complained, got a refund for my prime account, and I charged them the $25 overdraft fee - AND I added that I wanted a $25 inconvenience fee for having to deal with all this - and they paid it

So I got the embarrassment of an over draft, but I got it refunded and I was able to get them to pay an inconvenience fee.
