> I think, outside Europe, this afflicted lots of places away from the coast, right? Like the middle part of the US.

That's exactly where it afflicted people in europe as well, mountainous regions tend to be inlands, and from their remoteness don't have the opportunity for incidental iodine through trade, so they worsen the odds, but historically distance from the sea (and thus lack of sea products) has absolutely been the primary issue. CIDS was also endemic to the english midlands for instance.

No, intake from air is considered insignificant.
The whole concept of patents already is a solution to one of the limits of capitalism (they're basically government enforced monopolies). There are interesting ideas on how to improve the system, hopefully we won't throw the baby with the bath water here.

> In what sense are they claiming their generated contents as their own IP?

https://www.zdnet.com/article/who-owns-the-code-if-chatgpts-...

>> OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT) does not claim ownership of generated content. According to their terms of service, "OpenAI hereby assigns to you all its right, title and interest in and to Output."

How are they giving you the rights to the work if they don't own it? They are literally asserting that they are in a position to assign the rights (to the output) to the user - that is a literal claim of ownership.

IOW, if someone says "Take this from me, I assure you it is legal to do so", they are asserting ownership of that thing.

The feature is pretty easy to use- at what point do we just accept that some people shouldn't be using the tool? If we always design for the least capable user, we will be unnecessarily handcuffing ourselves.
Sure, it's a hard problem, but as others have pointed out frequently in this thread.. there is not only "no incentive" to solve it but a clear disincentive. If one can say where the data comes from, one might have to prove that it was used only with permission. And the reason why it's a hard problem is not related to metadata volume being greater than content volume. Clearly a book title/year published is usually shorter than book contents.

"Experts are not always the best at training beginners."

"To emphasize a specific point: Do not test candidates with brain-teaser puzzles."

"...to get candidates to solve interview problems in a room on their own before presenting the solution, as the added pressure from an interviewer observing or requiring talking while solving it adds to cognitive load and stress in a way that impairs performance..."

Essentially, it may very well be the case that AI resynthesis is in a category so novel that copyright (which is itself a completely artificial construct composed wholly of law, with no grounding in natural rights whatsoever) has not predicted it and is utterly mute on what should be done with it one way or the other.

If that is the case, the time has come for novel law to address the issue. And that will be a hell of a political fight because it will basically boil down to who we feel should have more rights and resources in society.
TL;DR: In today's world, SBOMs are littered with misinformation, almost always missing details, and are useless on their own.

I've found that most CramHacks subscribers are developers and security engineers. But very few are deeply involved in the supply chain security space, and I'm getting tired of telling everyone that producing an SBOM on its own does squat for security.

I'm not anti-SBOM, just anti-hype - and right now, SBOMs are all hype.

this was essentially my point, that a /s might have made more clear, and made cost less internet points. ai and how the term is used commercially are very different things. the latter tending to be a myopic view of the former that is constrained by dollar-seeking.

I’m incredibly confused why profiling wasn’t even mentioned in this post.

I would highly recommend anyone troubleshooting something like this to do continuous profiling and the root cause of this type of problem becomes painfully obvious within seconds.

Calc deserved more attention in this article; it's really amazing what you can do with it. I'm using it in an application to center content inside a flexible container.. Using calculated padding.

One of the coolest new features on the horizon is the anchor positioning system.

CSS is still frustratingly complicated and nuanced in a way that's typically opaque to developers. For instance why do you need min-width/min-height 0 on nested flex containers to prevent unexpected overflowing? The answer is surprisingly complicated.
Note that no court has ruled the Masimo patent is valid. They ran this through an expedited legal procedure that bypasses patent review.

In all likelihood, the patent will eventually be tossed out, but that process takes a year or two.

That's pretty astonishing. The MMIO abuse implies either the attackers have truly phenomenal research capabilities, and/or that they hacked Apple and obtained internal hardware documentation (more likely).

I was willing to believe that maybe it was just a massive NSA-scale research team up until the part with a custom hash function sbox. Apple appears to have known that the feature in question was dangerous and deliberately both hidden it, whatever it is, and then gone further and protected it with a sort of (fairly weak) digital signing feature.

As the blog post points out, there's no obvious way you could find the right magic knock to operate this feature short of doing a full silicon teardown and reverse engineering (impractical at these nodes). That leaves hacking the developers to steal their internal documentation.

The way it uses a long chain of high effort zero days only to launch an invisible Safari that then starts from scratch, loading a web page that uses a completely different chain of exploits to re-hack the device, also is indicative of a massive organization with truly abysmal levels of internal siloing.

Given that the researchers in question are Russians at Kaspersky, this pretty much has to be the work of the NSA or maybe GCHQ.

Edit: misc other interesting bits from the talk: the malware can enable ad tracking, and also can detect cloud iPhone service hosting that's often used by security researchers. The iOS/macOS malware platform seems to have been in development for over a decade and actually does ML on the device to do object recognition and OCR on photos on-device, to avoid uploading image bytes: they only upload ML generated labels. They truly went to a lot of effort, but all that was no match for a bunch of smart Russian students.

I'm not sure I agree with the speaker that security through obscurity doesn't work, however. This platform has been in the wild for ten years and nobody knows how long they've been exploiting this hidden hardware "feature". If the hardware feature was openly documented it'd have been found much, much sooner.
I see two separate issues, the one you describe which is maybe slightly more clear cut: if a person uses an AI trained on copyrighted works as a tool to create and publish their own works, they are responsible if those resulting works infringe.

The other question, which I think is more topical to this lawsuit, is whether the company that trains and publishes the model itself is infringing, given they're making available something that is able to reproduce near-verbatim copyrighted works, even if they themselves have not directly asked the model to reproduce them.

I certainly don't have the answers, but I also don't think that simplistic arguments that the cat is already out of the bag or that AIs are analogous to humans learning from books are especially helpful, so I think it's valid and useful for these kinds of questions to be given careful legal consideration.

I just realized the idle chatter filled up my head. Using LLMs to summarize them have also made me realize how repetitive and samey the insight-based interview podcasts are. It's not accurate that I divorced podcasts fully. I listen to one or two shows a week. One is a technology podcast and the other is a film podcast, both have a group of friends.

So long story short, chemistry is all that matters to me about most podcasts don't have it.

> in 1921, in the city of Bern, 94 per cent of schoolchildren had some swelling of the neck and almost 70 per cent had a goitre.

Gosh - it's surprising that years after discovering relativity and the like they were still figuring that out. (Einstein lived in Bern from 1903 to 1905 and developed his Theory of Relativity there).
> If we try to describe this feature and how the attackers took advantage of it, it all comes down to this: they are able to write data to a certain physical address while bypassing the hardware-based memory protection by writing the data, destination address, and data hash to unknown hardware registers of the chip unused by the firmware.

Did the systems software developers know about these registers?

Yeah, but that carbon-based brain should have also obtained the learning material legally. Why would a “silicon-based brain” be any different.

I don't think it's about scraping being a threat. It's that they violated the TOS and stand to make a ton of money from someone else's work.

Sleeping in more than one long chunk of time is called polyphasic sleeping [0]. It's postulated that sleeping in one go is an industrial age phenomenon.

>I think "leaders" have lost touch with reality.

Were they ever in touch? Whenever reporters ask most leaders in my country, what the minimum and average wages are and what the ballpark prices of electricity, gas, eggs, milk, meat and bread are, they have no idea if they weren't schooled beforehand by their advisors.
To be fair, that was just Kaspersky taking a jab at Apple, after being absolutely gutted by hackers because of their own poor security posture.

There was no uptick, CIDS was endemic to the alps as far back as roman times. Its consequences literally slipped into linguistic vernaculars (e.g. french as the insult "crétin des alpes", lit. "cretin from the alps", and "cretin" was the original term for CIDS-induced mental impairment).

> Our guess is that this unknown hardware feature was most likely intended to be used for debugging or testing purposes by Apple engineers or the factory, or that it was included by mistake. Because this feature is not used by the firmware, we have no idea how attackers would know how to use it.

However, keep in mind that this level of "bugdooring" is possible without Apple's explicit cooperation. In fact, the attackers don't even need to force a bug into the code. It would probably be sufficient to have someone on staff who is familiar with the Apple hardware development process (and therefore knows about the availability of these tools), or to simply get a copy of the firmware's source code. Sophisticated attackers likely have moles embedded within Apple. But they don't even need that here; they could just hire an ex-Apple employee and get all the intel they need.

Most recently, Graeber and Wengrow would likely the poster children of this approach to long history.

When I was a child (say, 50+ years ago), we were taught that agriculture was discovered once, in the Levant. This is no longer accepted: it was discovered at least three times (Levant, China, Meso-America), and it would not be surprising if future archeologists find more.

The traditional, still widely accepted view of human long history is that we went from hunter-gathers in small tribes to agriculture to larger communities to heirarchies of control to modernity. There are now (c.f. Graeber & Wengrow) some dissenting voices about this.

I think he wants "reasoning" to include coming up with rules and not just following rules. Humans can reason by trying to figure out rules for systems and then see if those rules work well, on large scale that is called the scientific method but all humans do that on a small scale, especially as kids.

For a system to be able to solve the same classes of problems human can solve it would need to be able to invent their own rules just like humans can.

I almost ignored this entire article because I didn't see a date at the top of the blog.

Maybe it's like not labelling the GND net next to every gnd symbol in a schematic, or even omitting both vcc and gnd pins from ic symbols entirely, except where they are not all the same.

Implicit hidden magic is bad, but then again a schematic full of individual traces instead of busses, and 400 vcc and gnd labels can actually clutter and hide the essense of the design more than convey it.

Maybe it's like that. You can spell it all out if you want to, but if it's always the same and everyone knows it, then maybe it's just obfuscating clutter to show it if there isn't some reason to.

(btw I have no opinion on the language itself. is OO a good fit for hardware? maybe but I personally don't like it for software so I go in skeptical)

You're giving dealerships a lot of credit. The reason my friend called me was because I spent 10 years working at dealerships. And am a decent mechanic overall too. Luckily this didn't need much.

Dealers constantly throw half measures and guesses at repairs and send them on their way only for the customer to have issues miles or days later.

This is simply a revenue maximization scheme and that's it.
Yes, but it's still a subset of the arts - it doesn't apply to movies, literature, nor even to the scripting for any of these.

And I should mention YouTubers wouldn't be making that much money if YouTube weren't enforcing copyright, as you could just upload their videos and get the ad money. Without copyright, you could also cut off their in-video promotions and add your own, including your own Patreon - so you would get 100% of the money off their work if you can out-promote them.

It's only live performances which are protected by the physical world's strict no-copying laws (the ones that don't allow the same macro object to be in two places at the same time).

So basically, no medium which allows copying of the works in whole or nearly whole has been successfully run with public works.
>All that aside, I tend to agree with the hypothesis that LLMs are a fad that will mostly pass. For professionals, it is really hard to get past hallucinations and the lack of citations.

You’re assuming the registers are unknown to the chip designer.

For me (GP), I create a contact card after getting someone's phone number, and I just enter their name. I don't really need to create a contact card with email addresses because I can just search my email application for their name, which is almost always in their email address. Phone numbers, on the other hand, are obviously not searchable in this way. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who's 'doing it wrong'!
