No. Non-commercial uses are not automatically fair use. Commercial uses are not automatically infringing. And the purpose of the use is only one of the four prongs of fair use.
The projections you read are the ones that precede the current policy shift.

They are not. 2050 is the target date for tripling.

A lot of the policy changes just happened this year. Some announcements were made this month. OK, no new plants were built in the last 3 weeks. You win.
Agreed! This is what governance and oversight is for!
And with which business model? That's the elephant in the room here. If it's only about unpaid developers, Firefox already has these currently in addition to the Mozilla employees, but if it wants to stay relevant it needs paid developers working on it full-time.

No.

If that were true, I could take a band that I hate, copy all of their music note-for-note, then release an exact copy on the market and undercut them by selling their entire discography for $0.01

Fair Use requires one of several enumerated activities, including satire, education, journalism. You can’t just copy content and hope that it passes Fair Use.

Hire a lawyer if you are unsure. But at least read the Wikipedia article on the subject if you are going to talk about it.

I absolutely loved reading potato.cheap- nice work!

I think there's currently a discoverability problem. I love small websites, blogs, passion projects etc and they give me 1000x more joy than social media posts. But I still don't really know a good way to discover them.

Hacker news is honestly probably the way that I find most small web stuff, I like kagi's "small internet" filter a lot too. But as a whole, the likes of google etc are really geared up towards funneling me into looking at posts in social media sites rather than anything else.
Wow. Memories. Loving it.
they're really not that difficult, its not a badge of honor to use them. I used xemacs and liked it ages ago, and I still use raw vim for quick edits or views occasionally. The reality is modern ides are simply better for 99.99% of use cases. I might not use idea for open log files that are massive, and that's about it.
In a lot of jurisdictions it basically isn't. I'd love to see at least a few convictions though, where it is.
From the initial parent comment which also serves as my answer to your question:

> And much like profiling any program I’ve written, the hotspot is always something different from what I’d have expected. Having analytics doesn’t change what I write. I still enjoy the information.

I like seeing the hotspot so I know what to focus on in the future. It's really no different than in startups, let's say you build features A, B, and C, but most people are focusing on C, knowing that info ensures you better serve your users. For a blog, your user is your reader. You might say server level analytics might work, but just as in startups, it assumes that there is only one feature (or for blogs, only one idea) per page. Hence, intra-page analytics can be useful.
<< No offense but how is the CxO club running it into the ground exactly?

None taken. I am too old to care too much. From my perspective, what will be, will be.

That said, you answer your own question with the very next sentence:

<< It’s nice that you still use FF but their market share makes it clear that you and I are exceptions.

I think you would agree that even with hyperbole of two people using FF, its management is not doing a great job ( euphemism ).
thanks, I'm sure there were more factors involved than just the firing, so that would make a lot of sense.

Given your experience, If one were to fork Firefox entirely from Mozilla, very loosely, if one were a non-profit dedicated to just the browser and not trying to build a diversified company around it, what type of funding do you think an org would need to keep up with web technology changes and build a foundational engineering team?

I loved playing Liero when I was a kid. One of the best patterns of play I had found and one of the few shooters where I was even remotely competitive with others. Super cool to see that it's still alive and that there is even a web version.
Which is still quite different from a car that may be cruising on the highway at 20-25 horsepower which is often under 10% of rated power.
Great idea, but how can you tell in advance if something will last 20 years, especially when its not uncommon that products change while keeping their name and looks?
Ask HN: How to use a dead bird?
A large bird just crashed into our window and died. Is there any way to make use of it?

I know it sounds morbid, but tossing the bird into the woods seems disrespectful for some reason. I could give it a proper burial, but that doesn't feel right either.

And so I thought I'd ask the internet if there's any way to honor its life through practical reuse...

UTC or unix timestamp gets you moment of time. You know exactly moment event happened. Definitions can change, but usually not retroactively. TZdata is a database of such changes, and stores definition changes, basically all *nix OSes depend on it to cast moment of time into timezone. You can always convert timestamp in the past into desired timezone. If you work with calendars and want you know what "04:00 tomorrow" means - good luck, you'll need it. as example, "04:00 tomorrow" may not exist at all
The rise of totally unregulated and unassessed homeschooling probably scares me more than any other long term problem we have in the country. Most of the other problems we face can be fixed by an educated population, but if we lose that, we won't be able to fix anything. We're eroding our global edge in terms of having an educated population, and the constant efforts towards chipping away public school are accelerating this. The possibility of taxpayers funding this erosion is just icing on the cake.

Yes, there are good examples of homeschooling. I'm not saying they aren't. How many of these "as many as 2.7 million home-schooled children" (they don't even have a way of counting them!) are ending up with a better-than-public education, and how many of them are ending up at a 2nd grade math level and believing Jesus rode dinosaurs?

If you disagree, please read the article! These "schools" are totally unmonitored. Literally anything can be taught and it counts as education. And many states actively forbid oversight or even disclosure by parents.
True, it is unicode.

I would argue text art evolved with the, ah, Times.

If anything, crafting with unicode brings its own set of challenges alongside those of old skool ASCII art. A bigger character palette, yes, but also variable character widths. Composing is less obvious.

Your remark prompted me to look up the Wikipedia page for ASCII art, and according to that page, unicode is indeed the "new skool" of the form. cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art#Unicode

That said, I'm hardly an artist and present this as my layperson's understanding.
It will. The negations are only being applied on the way back up the call stack. The mutual recursion version in a sibling post can be made to work though.
The best thing we can do for the web at this point is talk to our politicians about the incredible power that Google and Apple wield. They either need to be split up, or their platforms entirely opened up to competition via standardization [1], first class third-party support [2], no more preferential dogfooding [3], and no more ad sales protection rackets [4].

[1] Google no longer unilaterally pulls on web standards. Google and Apple adopt a shared, first-class standard for native app development. Web gets "as native" APIs.

[2] No requirement of app store for distribution. Web installs and web as native. No scare walls or hidden-in-the-settings feature flags. The browser runtimes have full extension support with no removal of hooks necessary for eg. adblocking.

[3] First party apps are not defaults, not preinstalled, and more importantly, cannot re-assert themselves as defaults.

[4] If someone searches for your company or product by name, or a 1 edit distance variation, competitor ads can't show up before your website or app.

I am not a lawyer, but I'm wondering if the same argument can be made about derived works such as text - the AI is learning from open-source code, and outputting not the exact same code, but just 'derived' code based on patterns in the original code.

In other words, somewhat similar to what a programmer studying existing and open-source code would do: read the code, understand it, and try to reimplement by writing their own code.
NASA has done so much more than lift vehicles. To focus only on that doesn't address the question.

What exploration and engineering has SpaceX done to match NASA (except in one narrow area). NASA has a telescope at L2 looking back over 13 billion years, a helicopter flying on Mars, it has left the Solar System, it has satellites and probes all over orbit and other planets.
For people who call it "infosec", it probably is, or an admixture of QA and IT.
Most banks in the world would refuse to do any business with you in this situation.

This is already somewhat of an issue for American immigrants moving to Europe. Some banks just refuse to open accounts for them.
Training doesn’t violate copyright (although this may change in time).

And TOS doesn’t apply to people who don’t agree. Court cases have ruled that you can’t prevent people scraping with a TOS as the data are publicly available and don’t require acceptance to access.

If someone buys my book, I can’t limit how they read it, or who they resell it to. If I give my book away for free, I can’t limit either.

It’s the same with giving out access to my web content.

The restriction point is selling. If I don’t want someone to read my book, I don’t sell it to them. If I don’t want someone to view my web content, I restrict their access and don’t let them view it.
Nope. You can (and will) take a lot of work home in the space industry. And remote work is definitely allowed.

This is most likely an intelligence/defense agency or contractor, working in secure environments where you can't take work stuff in or out.
It's possible that a social media profile is the new website. Rather than stand alone as a single page, it's often connected to other people and orgs that you may want to be affiliated with, so it comes with its own relevant blogroll.
I am supportive. Without me Mozilla, Mitchell and devs would think it is all sunshine and puppies. If anything, being supportive at any costs leads to scenarios such as the current one.
The system is not closed: due to the presence of lots of other peoples' money sloshing around, it is very possible for moonshot entrepreneurs to personally make substantially more than employees/lifestyle entrepreneurs, even (I'd hazard "especially") at times when their underlying business is losing money.
Couldn't read the whole thing. Considering that Christmas is core to the plot of the movie it absolutely is a Christmas movie.

It is even much more a Christmas movie than "Home Alone" for example. Kevin's family could have decided to vacation in France and forget their kid for the summer. OTOH, the Christmas party was the main reason all of Nakatomis big shots were gathered, at night in a mostly isolated building. They wouldn't do that for 4th of July or Thanksgiving, it could only be the Holiday party.
Yes of course. In which market are you?

Anytype is extremely slow and a resource hog, similar to its other Electron counterparts, as can be seen on a benchmark I did.[1]

I’m developing Plume[1] which has a similar advanced block editor but since it’s built with Qt C++ and QML, is very performant (more so than comparable native apps!).

"This isn't relevant. The standard is for compiler writers and library writers who use advanced meta-programming."

It is. It is a metric of how ungodly complex the language is. You can infer by this that having a comprehensive mental model of the language is difficult, do's and don'ts are all over the place and even a thing "simple" as a cast can lead to UB, but this flies under the radar of a lot of developers. You don't need to be a compiler engineer to make good use of such information.

"That depends. Some pitfalls just disappear like std::auto_ptr but I doubt anyone complains. Big changes came with c++11 and c++20, that is once in 10 years. While c++11 added move semantics and new initialization syntax that are somewhat complicated and hard to ignore, c++20's additions only make you glad that your life has become easier."

True, but it takes time to be proeficient with the changesets, for the projects to be transitioned to newer versions, if they are at all, and then to map what is valid in which version if there are reworks everywhere (e.g. I'm involved with some that are still c++14, "Do we have structured bindings available here? Oh, no, too bad.").

I appreciate thing gettings better/easier, but c++ seems to be all over the place (just checked the compiler support for c++20 and there is still partial support for some features in major compilers, even though work on c++23 has already started).
My preferences (this happens to us):

1) Leave for something to scavenge overnight, eg a fox round here in London.

2) Compost heap.

There's enough bird flu doing the rounds that you want to handle it carefully and not feed it to pets, IMHO.
Schools and corporate jobs both kill creativity and the possibilities of exploring new ideas and opportunities, and your life, time, and energy are all focused on a rat-race to make someone else wealthier.
The site has other well reviewed toasters at similar prices, I picked that one because it was exactly the price being discussed.

Either way, the bathtub curve of product failure still applies no matter the price point.

Bear in mind that people on this site are using toasters at duty cycles hundreds to thousands of times higher than home users. 6 months of commercial use of one of these toasters could very easily be a lifetime of use for a single home.
Okay, so what is complaining achieving here since you already acknowledge they won’t let you donate to Firefox directly?

I’m not crazy about it either but I don’t lose sleep over it. It’s a browser and management could be better. I know it’s a touchy subject and people may not like to hear it but until I’m downvoted into oblivion I’m going to say this discussion is not worth rehashing time and time again.

The donation suggestion is years old at this point. There is nothing new in this thread.
Ahhh, interesting. That looks to me like it's more appropriate for "multiple threads working on independent problems" than "multiple threads working on the same problem" due to the potential serialization overhead and limitations.

Each thread has its own lua_State. However, we provide a serialization scheme which allows automatic sharing for several Torch objects (storages, tensors and tds types). Sharing of vanilla lua objects is not possible, but instances of classes that support serialization (eg. classic objects with using require 'classic.torch' or those created with torch.class) can be shared, but remember that only the memory in tensor storages and tds objects will be shared by the instances, other fields will be copies. Also if synchronization is required that must be implemented by the user (ie. with mutex).

That's not general-purpose multi-processor threading, that's solving it for a very specific sub-problem.
just to add my $0.02 WebStorm makes writing NodeJS feel a lot more like Java - it's pretty good.

Update on "My CTO is wrong (or worse) and nobody is challenging him"
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35624069 This was posted 8 months ago. As an update, after this project (and others) went indeed horribly wrong, the CTO in question finally was fired. I have mixed feelings: Of course, relief. On the other hand dismay: with me, for not pushing my case harder, and with the other senior leaders with no spine I still have to deal with.
It’s not the possibility that’s important, it’s the practicality.

I can “fork” windows. I just can’t do anything with it without paying Microsoft.

And I can also spend effort to write up a detailed report to Microsoft or to a SAMS project. But I won’t, because I don’t like doing free labor for corporations.
> You cannot use a copyrighted image to produce derivatives without obtaining authorisation from the copyright owner of the original work.

You can produce derivatives as long as the derivative doesn't contain anything substantially similar to the expression in the original work [1]:

> To win a claim of copyright infringement in civil or criminal court, a plaintiff must show he or she owns a valid copyright, the defendant actually copied the work, and the level of copying amounts to misappropriation.

...

> In the first context, it refers to that level of similarity sufficient to prove that copying has occurred, once access has been demonstrated.

No similarity means no copying means no infringement. Simply using someone else's work is not infringement.

An AI model can produce outputs similar to the original works, but that's almost always if not always because the prompt contains a reference to an author, an existing work, or a characteristic/style strongly associated with an author or an existing work. So there is infringement, but the most of the liability should belong to the person who chose the prompt, assuming the model creator responds to notifications of such situations from the relevant copyright holders by preventing the model from responding to prompts. Think DMCA.

> a large part of the modern internet users are mobile-only, and the amount of people who use anything but what Google tells them to (or Apple allows them to) is vanishingly small.

I'm a Chrome user. Both on desktop and mobile because of the built in syncing.

If I were able to switch to Firefox mobile (Android), I would. But the rendering is often broken or awkwardly different on Firefox mobile. I thought this is a thing of the past...
If Gemini really wanted to embrace a world of writing then they should've had the elements which HTML lacked, such as a table of contents or bibliography.
Huh, is this a big misunderstanding?

The copilot screenshot they gave in the ars-technica article as well as many of the screenshots in the NYT article seems like it's actually displaying correct behavior for browsing the web.

In these cases the system is more or less acting as a user agent (browser). AFAICT the NYT server actually gave that data to the user agent when it asked politely (200 OK, presumably). The user agent then displayed it to the user, which the user agent may do in any way it deems fit or appropriate.

There's only one or two cases where this has gone against the user or user agent, in very specific circumstances. The server can eg say 403 Forbidden whenever it likes, so if it returns a 200 OK, what's a user agent to do other than believe it at its word?

The only twist is that this user agent is now Imbued With AI (tm)(r)(c) . I don't think that really makes a difference here. If that's all this is, then it's more related to legal fights over certain ad-blockers or readability, which have similar functionality.

* https://nytco-assets.nytimes.com/2023/12/NYT_Complaint_Dec20... , eg. page 45; I mean it says "Model: Web Browsing" at the top, and "Finished browsing" right on the page. That particular subsystem is now integrated, so the UI/UX is different now, but IIRC the link was in the pulldown?
I agree with you but I wonder if totalitarian capitalism is something that can last more than a few years.

Surely someone who has gotten rich won't want to tolerate the state's complete control and will find ways around it. I suspect it's not sustainable.

People on here don't seem to realize what an amazing asset it is that the US has a large pool of talented people that want to move there. I am from Europe and HN folks really like to look down on the European tech sector, but I would argue that the most important reason the US has a much stronger tech sector is because of the talent pool from around the world. Moving to Europe is a lot less interesting for people from around the world because of the language barrier. Honestly, for the EU it would be a gift from heaven if the US closed it's border to this talent pool and left it up for grabs.
A tale of 2 casino ransomware attacks: One paid out, one did not
Silly article. Lots of talk about big numbers. Keep in mind a billion doesn't necessarily buy you the same as it did when Microsoft started. So large part of these numbers is just due to inflation. Also taxes will take a huge chunk. And what would happen to MS stock if he actually started to dump a bunch of it? It would tank and he'd never realize all those gains.

Yes, I'm jealous.
