>While I'm sure this will be a favorite story to quote among those against EVs

I don't think anyone is ever arguing against EVs, that they're not better for our air quality than sticking to ICEs, but the mass adoption issues come when the rubber hits the road.

EVs range is still way behind ICE and drops like a rock in cold weather, and the ones with fast charging and the range close to a cheap ICE cost an arm and a leg, charging networks are still way too sparse and have shit payment UX plus the incoming charges for loitering after your car is charged, while fast chargers being even more sparse and Tesla's prices has continuously been higher than what Elon originally promised in his announcements.

All this make EVs still not a drop in replacement for ICEs for the general public with small budgets and who don't live at their own house where they have a charger in their garage. Depending on where you live, public charging infrastructure today is a nightmare in most places making the charging experience much more annoying and time consuming than tanking gas.

For example, I bought my 4 year old used ICE car with just 36K KM on the clock for only 6k Euros including another set of wheels with the mandatory winter tires. There are currently no low mileage EVs on the used market anywhere remotely in this price range, and that's before I run into the issue of the smaller range making vacation in Southern Europe nearly impossible, and not having any chargers where I live and park my car. Basically for me right now and others like me(most people in the country), a switch to an EV would be an expansive downgrade, and it doesn't look like pricing is going down and range and charging infrastructure is going up fast enough to match ICEs by the time they're banned from sale in 2030, meaning there will be a lot of angry voters priced/ranged out of EV ownership at that date meaning we might realistically see the ICE ban deadline extended until we sort out the infrastructure and the overly optimistic range/price reaches the values that were said we would reach years ago(basically a More's law for EVs).

So nobody in their right mind is against EVs, but since they're too far away in term of range, price and convenience from ICEs for the general masses they need to hit in order to make the transition a smooth reality, I think the correct wording here is people are against a forced premature transition to EVs when they're not yet the drop-in replacements they need to be in order to not negatively affect the lives of people who depend on their cars for work and leisure.
In which regard? And please, please don't say masks...
This isn't true; if you hire a contractor and tell them "write from memory the copyrighted code X which you saw before", and they have such a good memory that they manage to write it verbatim, then you take that code and use it in a way that breaches copyright, you're liable, not the person you paid to copy the code for you. They're only liable if they were under NDA for that code.
I doubt the reason for avoiding connection is a technical barrier but rather a security one. For example, I prefer to keep my personal and work laptops completely airgapped.

Reading and consuming other people content isn't illegal, but it also wouldn't be for a computer.

Reading and consuming content with the sole purpose of reproducing it verbatim is frowned upon, and can be sued, whether it's an LLM or a sweatshop in India.

The entire subject of the article is concerned with what it will take and how likely it is than an AI will ever will able to generate improvements like this.
I don't think this person actually worked with CSS in the early days. The clearfix trick was back then, not now. It was back "in the day" that we had to do shitty workarounds like clearfix. Like CSS wasn't fun back then, at all. CSS wasn't fun, then not fun, and now fun again. CSS has been on a steady trajectory out of awful but it works, to predictability, and much more fit for purpose. React and the like have allowed for tight namespacing which makes collisions a thing of the past, and so the "cascading" element is less of a problem.

> When I was a child (say, 50+ years ago), we were taught that ...

It's unfair, especially after you volunteered to inform me, to make you the spokesperson. However, to go on a tangent I am always a bit skeptical about my and others' memories of childhood education: First, it was long ago, and details and nuance tend to fade.

Also, there's the question of not what was taught, but what was understood at that age. I may have understood a very simplified story, and lacking intellectual tools, one biased by pre-existing drives and beliefs.

Think of the last time you tried to communicate something, especially with any detail or depth or nuance, to a 9 year old. Could you teach one about long history, in a way they'd understand and retain the details we're discussing? Just think of all the general contextual knowledge they'd need.

Years ago I did come across a childhood textbook (late elementary school, I'd guess) , and it was pretty good. I don't mean it represents all textbooks, but that it was good from my adult perspective - no surprise because it was written by adults, evaluated by adults, taught by adults, and no doubt they thought it was pretty good. But what I understood as a child is an very different matter.
I’ve seen this for years but so far it’s been hard to get others to see it. It requires holistic “systems thinking.” You have to go beyond the letter and the intent of the license or the open source movement and look at the overall effect it has on the incentive structure of the market.

It’s extremely common for well intentioned policies and movements to have perverse effects that aren’t anticipated because the effect emerges from the whole system rather than from any single part in isolation.

The effect of a thing is pretty much unrelated to its intent, hence the saying “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.” The root problem is that humans are awful at understanding how a policy will manifest when embedded in a complex system.

I think this is also why every attempt at central planning a whole society ultimately fails.
Doesn’t seem awful - ++[, —[, and %%[ are all pretty unlikely to collide with the content of your average document.

It is a bit messy once suggestions get nested, and given the option I’d still strongly prefer visually separating the change suggestions from the original content by pulling them out to aside blocks, but - if you held a gun to my head and forced me to do it all in plaintext, I wouldn’t hate this method.

For Medicaid (as opposed to Medicare which goes with you), typically a person cannot apply until they land in the new state. And again typically there will be a gap in coverage before a Medicaid benefit will kick in.

My direct advice is to use a lawyer if your friend's father, family and friends have the financial resources. You can get a referral through the state bar and I would do it by phone just so you can provide details relevant to finding the right specialization.

Because dealing with the paperwork aspect of the complexity you are trying to solve is what lawyers do. And because lawyers are a good way to grind through a benefits bureaucracy...so long as you don't have unreasonable expectations.
It’s true that AI has seen many advancements before a “harsh winter” comes along. You’re correct this is sensationalized, and also, some of these technologies have indeed been in use for decades. But, the Transformer model used by the new popular LLMs is quite recent (2017 is when the paper originally released I believe).
The article made that impression on me.

IIRC the ITC can rule that patents are invalid (or not infringed). ITC trials are more expedited than patent trials in District Courts, and an appeals court would also do a deeper dive. But that doesn't mean that the ITC's determination of infringement doesn't indicate that the ITC also found them to be valid. It's also possible that Apple didn't raise this argument at the ITC trial, but that would be very unlikely (it's one of the most obvious arguments to make when being sued for patent infringement).
> These claims on HN, about every OP, really lack credibility for me.

Do you trust journalists that much? Have you ever read an article about something you are an expert on? You shouldn't trust articles that much. I trust HN discussions much more since there are plenty of people who will weigh in when things are wrong or misrepresented, unlike these articles.

Edit: Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, that was what this is called. Don't trust the media just because you aren't an expert.
Worked in the space of AI QSAR/QSPR. Parent comment is correct in all respects. Science journalism is abysmal and hyperbolic, and that's why you see people tearing into headlines like this. I don't know "euronews.next", but...let's just say that it doesn't inspire a great sense of journalistic integrity?

For greater context, in the drug discovery world, "explainability" of QSAR/QSPR has been a longstanding goal. It's (rightly) not considered sufficient to have "black box" models that make predictions -- it's too expensive and risky to carry drug candidates into the lab based on the output of an algorithm, so subject-matter experts want to know why the algorithms are making the predictions that they make.
> (according to a tool that can allegedly detect these things).

Eh, I would trust my own testing before trusting a tool that claims to have somehow automated this process without having access to the weights. Really it’s about how unique your content is and how similar (semantically) an output from the model is when prompted with the content’s premise.

I believe you, in any case. Just wanted to point out that lots of these tools are suspect.

I don't think hiring an ex-Apple dev would let you get the needed sbox unless they stole technical documentation as they left.

So it either has to be stolen technical docs, or a feature that was put there specifically for their usage. The fact that the ranges didn't appear in the DeviceTree is indeed a bit suspicious, the fact that the description after being added is just 'DENY' is also suspicious. Why is it OK to describe every range except that one?

But the really suspicious thing is the hash. What kind of hardware interface does arbitrary DMA protected by a secret but weak hash function? Is there any legitimate usage for such a thing? I've never heard of such an interface before.

If it's a genuine backdoor and not a weird debugging feature then it should be rather difficult to add one that looks like this without other people in Apple realizing it's there. Chips are written in source code using version control, just like software. You'd have to have a way to modify the source without anyone noticing or sounding the alarm, or modifying it before synthesis is performed. That'd imply either a very deep penetration of Apple's internal network sufficient to inject backdoors into hardware, or they have one or more agents.

This really shows how dangerous it is to intel agencies when they decide to attack security professionals. Attacking Kaspersky has led directly to them burning numerous zero days including several that might have taken fairly extreme efforts to set up. It makes you wonder what is on these guy's iPhones that's considered so valuable. Presumably, they were after emails describing more zero days in other programs.

It's correct that the GPL does not require RH to distribute the source code to anyone but their customers. That's not the issue though! The issue is that if I, as a RH customer, execute the rights given to me by RH via the GPL and pass the sources to a third party, RH will terminate my customer contract. The license does not proscribe this in letter but it seems to go against its spirit.

Scientists divide the liquid product of crying into three distinct categories: reflex tears, continuous tears, and emotional tears. The first two categories perform the important function of removing debris such as smoke and dust from our eyes, and lubricating our eyes to help protect them from infection. Their content is 98% water.

Emotional tears are what provide the most health benefits. Emotional tears contain stress hormones and other toxins, so it can reduce the levels of these chemicals in the body. It also releases oxytocin and endogenous opioids, also known as endorphins. Which can have a relaxing effect and make you feel better.

Switzerland had a very active and well trained military during both World Wars. In fact Swiss neutrality is at least partly rooted in the historical role of Swiss mercenaries -- it was a lot easier to sell your mercenaries if you weren't involved in the war.
> Masimo has a market capitalization of a bit over $6 billion, so Apple presumably has a very long way to go before acquiring them is cheaper than continuing the lawsuit

> I've not seem anyone manage to turn up what sort of terms Masimo would want to license their patent. It's certainly possible that what they want is unreasonable

FTA: “In its earlier suit, which ended with a deadlocked jury, Masimo wanted Apple to pay more than $3 billion in damage”

So, they’re claiming that patent is worth half the company. I guess that’s, at least, quite a high initial offer.

Imho end of the day, open source vs closed doesn’t matter for number/severity of security issues and ends up just being ideological posturing. The bugs exist for a variety of other reasons and tend to have the same root causes attached.

OSS has other considerations though around security. Flaws may be easier to identify and either exploit or fix. Flaw fixing is trickier though because you need to do it in such a way as to not advertise it to the world either before it’s sufficiently deployed.
There's literally no way anyone can taste the difference between iodized and non iodized table salt blind to the source. There's just so little there, it seems the Swiss standard is something like 25 mg/kg. There's probably more plastic in the salt than iodine at this point.
You have 1.2mm ARR, that's a lot of leverage and you're in a strong position to raise a Series A. Your current investor has no reason to encourage you to take money off the table, but they also don't have a super compelling reason to discourage it. But of course if you ask them, they'll say "no don't do that." Ultimately the only way to get a read on the situation is to start the raise and see how outside investors really feel about it.

But why the rush to take money out now? And why slow walk into Series A? Personally I'd try to couple it with the raise (rather than pre-emptively) because that's when you'll have most leverage against all parties, and you'll probably be able to sell your stake for even more too. So either raise now, or sell your stake later. Once you get two new outside investors, you just need one of them to approve a secondary sale and that's enough leverage to get the others in line with it.

Also, you can always increase your salary, or even pay yourself a bonus. Your lack of salary for two years and subsequent revenue increase seems like a good enough argument for why you deserve one. Get your co-founder aligned and pay yourselves some cash...

>I have no idea what on earth you are talking about. People and corporations are sued for copyright infringement all the time.

They're sued for _producing content_, not consuming content. If a human takes copyrighted output from an LLM and publishes it, they're absolutely liable if they violated copyright.

>Reading and consuming other people content isn't illegal, but it also wouldn't be for a computer.

That is absolutely what people in this thread are suggesting should happen: that it should be illegal for OpenAI et. al. to train models on publicly available content without first receiving permission from the authors.

>Reading and consuming content with the sole purpose of reproducing it verbatim is frowned upon, and can be sued, whether it's an LLM or a sweatshop in India.

That's irrelevant here because people training LLMs aren't feeding them copyrighted content for the sole purpose of reproducing it verbatim.
well of course nobody would have NSA_friendly_override() in the source

Probably because the attackers can. Sometimes people don't need a deep reason for doing anything. They just want to watch bits of the web burn.
it pains me to have an ANSI animation called "MS-DOS Escape Sequences"
This looks like a typical modern security hole. There’s a giant stack of layers of unnecessary complexity, and all of them are garbage. The composition is also garbage.

All the NSA needs to launch attacks like this is to get a bunch of mediocre engineers to layer complexity atop complexity. They don’t need Apple to know about the attack.

Honestly, they probably didn’t actually have to do anything to get Apple (or any other large company) to self-pwn itself by hiring and promoting engineers and project managers for adding features, but not for improving product stability or software correctness, or deleting forgotten legacy cruft.

Anyway, the most effective approach to sabotage is to be indistinguishable from incompetence, so it’s hard to say if the people responsible for the vulnerability chain were working with the NSA or not.

Yes, though it's not a bright-line test for what constitutes 'knowing' infringement. It can be less strict than the phrase suggests — if you had reason to know of the patent, even if you had never looked at it yourself, or it can be more strict — if you infringed a patent you were aware of, but you had received three opinion letters from top law firms saying that your product didn't infringe.

I've heard some companies say that they should never put in writing that they're aware of anyone else's IP, to mitigate the risk of treble damages.
