I'm not. It's a Honda.
I'm sure the NYT uses dictionaries, encyclopaedias and style books verbatim as well. And they don't invent the facts they write about. As journalists they are compiling and passing along other knowledge. You usually don't get a piece of their income when a journalist quotes you verbatim (people usually don't get paid for interviews).
Getting in touch with an human is generally "easy": getting in touch with an engineer isn't.

One thing I suspect has tipped the scales in favour of less repairable products is the massive decline in social capital.

30-40 years ago, if your lawnmower broke down you'd ask Dave from two doors down to come and have a look at it.

Now, you'd either take it to a professional repairman (and get it back 2 weeks and $100+ later), try to work it out yourself via online tutorials, or just throw it in the bin.

Either way, it's far more painful for a product to bee temporarily out of service these days than it once was.
My guess is either compression or stuff lingering in RAM. The CPU can't be smart here since it doesn't know what any of the future ifs will be. It doesn't know they're in order, or unique, or even valid instructions. You could (theoretically; the OS probably wouldn't let you) replace an if with an infinite loop while the program is running.

Maybe the bloom filter solution is enough, but I wonder.

- Paraphrasing n=7 words (and quite a few more) within a sentence can easily be fair use.

- As n gets big, the bloom filter has to also.

If/when attribution is solved for LLMs (and not fake attribution like from Bing or Perplexity) then creators can be compensated when their works are used in AI outputs. If compensation is high enough this can greatly incentivize creativity, perhaps to the point of realizing "free culture" visions from the late 90s.

https://nytco-assets.nytimes.com/2023/12/NYT_Complaint_Dec20...

From page 30 and onwards has some fairly clear examples on how ChatGPT has an (internal) copy of copyrighted material which it will recite verbatim.

Essentially if you copy a lot of copyrighted material into a blob and then apply some sort of destructive compression to it. How destructive would that compression have to be for the copyright no longer to hold? My guess it would have to be a lot.

As I see it the closeness of OpenAI may be what saves it. OpenAI could filter and block copyrighted material from the LLM from leaving the web interface using some straight forward matching mechanism against the copyrighted part of the data set ChatGPT has been trained on. Whereas open source projects trained on the same data set would be left with the much harder task of removing the copyrighted material from the LLM itself.

> I wouldn't call Eric Kauffman a "scientist," and I don't think Kauffman would call himself one either.

Back in October, during an interview with Tara Henley, [0] he said "I'm a political scientist..." And, the topic of the interview is how he's leaving the University of London to start up a new "Centre for Heterodox Social Science" at the University of Buckingham.

"Political science" is the standard term for Kauffman's academic discipline, and so not only does he call himself a "political scientist", it is standard for journalists reviewing his books (etc) to call him that too, see [1]

> Lots of people study things, without properly being called scientists. Historians, archeologists, etc.

Well, Merriam-Webster defines [2] "archaeology" as "the scientific study of material remains (such as tools, pottery, jewelry, stone walls, and monuments) of past human life and activities" (my emphasis), and very many archaeologists do consider their discipline to be a "science": for example, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse's Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center defines archaeology as "the science that seeks to learn about past humans and their culture from the material remains that were left behind" [3]

Likewise, the British philosopher and historian R. G. Collingwood's definition of history as "the science of res gestae, the attempt to answer questions about human actions done in the past" is frequently quoted.

Yes, but that is only one component of a modern phone. Basebands and system bootloaders, among other firmwares, don't receive updates. Those are regularly attacked.

This comment is just blatant anthropomorphizing of ML models. You have no idea if reading an article “transforms weights” in a human mind, and regardless, they aren’t legally the same thing anyway.
Considering I expected it to be about LLMs from the title (I thought it would be an announcement of a new 4B model), I’m going with "probably" ;)
The cold places are usually extreme latitudes.

I live around 60 latitude and here during the winter it might not be even that cold (tho it can be -20 or -30C).

It’s that the amount of sunshine hours and the angle it shines at means that for about 3 months the PV production is essentially zero.

This is during the time the demand is highest.

I still use a 6s and a fist Gen. se, I won’t say they’re terribly slow. It’s the apps, the modern apps, that make the device too slow. If you use not so many, it works quite very well. The only downside that the OS is not updated any longer. Although I got a security update recently, weeks ago.
> my 2016 phone runs the latest OS. Sure not everyone does this, but unlike iOS I can take care of it myself.

"not everyone" is an understatement.

That's a solution for you (and the dozens - dozens! - of people doing the same), in practice it is not for 99% of Android users, therefore, again in practice, there's a huge fleet of devices with out-of-date software out there.

> But Android also lets you run custom builds

That's not even counting that:

- many Android manufacturers make it non-trivial† to root/unlock/flash a build and/or make it blow a warranty fuse, and that's if it's even possible at all.

- usually the camera goes ape shit, and often loudspeaker audio quality too.

- unless you relock the bootloader it immediately compromises security and makes bootloader updates nontrivial as unlocking again clears the device.

Mind you, this is a fine, intellectually satisfying strategy for you and me to be able to flash open builds, but it's by and large an extremely fringe strategy, and it's been shown over a decade that it's staying that way.

† Often involving downloading random flashing tools from obscure forums, that run only on Windows, some of these being one shot and requiring to plug in magic numbers corresponding to your exact device, and if you screw it up the device is bricked (e.g Samsung). Or the unlocking is on a low-write-count chip and once you exceed that limit the device is bricked (e.g OnePlus). I know, I've been there, bricked a few, recovered only one through JTAG.
A lof of the discussion here focusing on cars alone.

The other examples mentioned in TFA are far more convincing: things like blenders, suitcases, clothes, kitchen gloves.

Take your favorite casual clothes, like t-shirts. In many there has been a clear enshitiffication going on, with lesser quality fabrics, that last less than a few decades ago, even when the brand and the model remains the same.

How about Lenovo vs IBM laptops? Forget the red herring about the cpu being faster and such (which is about the electronics). Is it built to the same standards as those older ones were?

Even the razor thin plastic grocery bags that are much much easier to pierce is a real struggle in a number of supermarkets I go to.

And let's not get started on food stuff, where the product is supposedly the same, but the ingredients get shittier and/or the weight goes down, while the price raises even above inflation.

I think this description of what OO is, is flawed and makes people talk past each other:

> • What is OO programming?
– a programming paradigm that uses "objects" – data structures
consisting of datafields and methods together with their interactions – to
design applications and computer programs.
(Wikipedia)

It isn't that they are together, it's that the core entity of the language used to express solutions centers around identity over state or values. As in: two objects are different even when the fields are all equal, and also: two objects can be the same even with different field values.

If you are going to object to this, I ask that you first contemplate whether or not you have programmed in any other way first, because as a fish, reasoning about what water is can be difficult.

Why?
How might this work in a GUI context? It would be absolutely amazing if there was some way to make it work on FreeCAD so we could share reusable pieces.

The one missing thing I've always wanted to see in FreeCAD is something where you draw a circle on a face as an anchor point (the same way that the hole operation works) and put a point on the circle for orientation.

Then you could export the part with it's anchor points embedded in the file, or import a part with it's anchor point fitted on an existing point (With whatever offset, inversion, etc you want).

Would this be suitable for creating this kind of system?

> Google: promises

Google is not promising this out of the goodness of their heart. They're just getting ahead of what the EU is planning to mandate [0], and doing that to get some good marketing while they're at it.

So, while Google's track record leaves a lot to be desired, in this, I think they'll keep their promise, either because they actually care, or because the EU will force them to. Either way, we, the end users, will benefit from it.

And this will apply to all electronic device makers. That's probably why Samsung also increased their updates policy to five years as well.

Yeah, evidently I missed the news that after 20 years of Energiewende, Germany has the 2nd most expensive AND the 2nd dirtiest electricity in Europe and that the old plan of "we'll use wind and solar when the wind blows and the sun shines, and when they do not <a miracle occurs>" really worked out perfectly, particularly when the miracle turned out to be "Russian gas" and exploded in our face, causing us to have to buy up essentially all the gas available on the open market at horrible expense after Russia started blackmailing us.

Note that "buying up all the gas on the open market" is not a strategy that too many countries can follow at once, hence other countries started to look elsewhere. For example, Japan, who were going to exit nuclear, and are now turning more and more of their old plants back on and have announced they will be building more (!), very specifically to replace reliance on LNG shipments.

And yeah, we got really, really lucky with the mild winter of 2022. Apparently not too many other countries think that "luck" is sound energy policy, but YMMV. Also slightly unpopular in the world is our tried and true method of "we'll lower emissions by pushing our economy into recession due to high energy costs". And the constitutional court also took a dim view of trying to hide all the extra costs off the main budget, so the real costs are only now starting to emerge. The farmer demos were probably just the start of the unrest when the pain gets passed onto the population. A population that already now thinks the getting out of nuclear was a mistake:

Algorithms generally reward "unpopular opinions" - polarizing views held by a minority.

Facebook, without its downvotes, doesn't punish them, so people can be as cynical, bitter, and savage as they like. The algorithm boosts these. Some have a downvote button, but by giving more weight to upvotes, it has a similar effect.

Reddit rewards groupthink. It self-selects clearly enough into subreddits. X does this invisibly by grouping people with similar opinions.

HN is a mix. The main topic itself has no downvoting mechanism, so most people will disagree by writing comments. If 1000 people agree and 300 don't, you'll see hundreds of comments disagreeing and few agreeing. Since people come to the comments to downvote, the cynical opinions float up.
I remember reading a proposed policy by the Swedish left party (old communisr party. Now more or less where the social democrats were 35 years ago). They figured that once you are already paying upwards of 800.000SEK the state subsidies were not the main concern. They wanted to cap the subsidy so that you could only get it fully for cars below 400.000SEK.

I think that is a marvellous idea.
