> but I find "cloud" hard to get into for some reason

This is because there are too many moving pieces in the System. Add the domain jargon and intentional marketing/sales obfuscation and everything becomes overwhelming. I have a background in Applications/Networking/Protocols and i still find the whole "Cloud" domain confusing/difficult. After doing some research i came across this book which was very helpful for my own study. It gives you the overall "big picture view" along with some short code/usage snippets for each component. You can then followup with specific AWS/GCP/Azure books as needed.

You should also study Martin Kleppmann's Designing Data-Intensive Applications along with this - https://dataintensive.net/
You can usually just say something like: "You must respond with at least five emojis".

Sure, there are cute and clever ways to get it to do things, but it's trained on natural language and instructions, so you can usually just ask it to do the thing you want. If that doesn't work, try stating it more explicitly: "You MUST... "
OpenAI may have had some leg to stand on before. But once you start monetizing, all bets are off.
There's potentially a steep learning for Chisel especially if you're not coming from a Computer Science or programming language theory background.

It feels like Chisel is the result of functional programmers looking at the state of hardware design languages and being aghast at how archaic it is. Which is probably true but the value here will be helping experienced designers with no interest in learning CS theory build better chips faster. If Chisel can do that then it will win.

In my opinion the best languages have an extremely low barrier to entry. For example, C is very simple. The JavaScript development environment and tons of examples are readily available to everyone with a web browser. Python is cross-platform, has libraries for almost anything and relatively painless interoperability.
Hmm, interesting. If that's true, and it's not encrypted, and blue means iMessage-encrypted, then I'd guess the green bubbles stay and designate "RCS/unencrypted" and can't be mixed and matched with iMessage recipients.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Mosquitoes I’d normally focus on doing a full yard treatment of a granular, we’d use bifenthrin back in my day, no idea what they’re using now (but bifenthrin is still on sale), you can use a spreader from Home Depot and it just takes a light dusting.

But as a sibling comment said, making sure your gutters don’t have standing water, or that there are little ponds without fish, is going to be your best bet. A big problem is going to be stuff near you, as their range can be 1-3 miles.

So, live in a well developed area with lots of people around taking care to avoid mosquitoes? You’re right it’s a hard one.
Licensing the technology or acquiring the company would probably be less expensive and take less time.
I don't think this was your point, but no they don't. Specifically China. What will happen if China has unbridled training for a decade while the United States quibbles about copyright?

I think publications should be protected enough to keep them in business, so I don't really know what to make of this situation.

No, back when this was going on, it is alleged that if you applied at Google, you would not get the position at Google AND YOU WOULD BE MARKED FOR TERMINATION AT THE EARLIEST CONVENIENCE OF APPLE.

It's an example of why systems people should be paid like pro athletes and have agents, given their extreme value to the organizations they support, both garage and conglomerate alike. [But the industry went the other way, reaching into grade schools with efforts like Code.org and, I Kid You Not, homeless shelters like https://youtu.be/l6p0VYIP5M8 in a failed attempt to flood the market with Supply so they could continue to prey upon their fellow human beings. Even the whole paradigm of Object Oriented Programming going mainstream was FIRST AND FOREMOST (but not exclusively) an attempt to reign in labor costs, as per Mitch Kapor's numerous lectures on the topic back in the day. A generation before that, They were pushing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_One_(software) and, well, you know what those "deep pockets" are up to these days with AI coders.
Very true, if it were very common you'd see retinal surgery centers in every hospital or more blind folks in rural communities. Thankfully it's not so rare that we don't have decent treatment for it. Like the article pointed out, rising myope rates are concerning for the implication on how many people will experience retinal issues. Sight is the last sense I want to give up, maybe the warning signs of RD should be as common as knowing the warning signs of strokes.
I agree. An unhide flating link (like in gmail) would be very nice. (But it would double the ammount of javascript in HN :) .)
The 10x of revenue increase projection in five years is potentially due to the fact cable subscribership increased 2x in those 5 years, several more cable-only channels that came out, and the market for cable advertising became more proven thus the perceived value of each ad increased. It doesn't require there to be considerably more ads shown per hour of television. Your article isn't exactly strongly supporting your claims as well as you might think it does.

But I do agree, over the years there has been more advertisements per hour of television.
I am in the believer camp for simple reasons: 1) we haven’t even scratched the surface of government led investments into AI, 2) AI itself could probably discover better architectures than transformers (willing to bet heavily on this)

With the exception of source code availability, copyleft is mostly about using copyright to destroy itself. Without copyright (which I feel is unethical), and with additional laws to enforce open sourcing all binaries, copyleft need not exist.

So it is not good when people use copyleft as a justification for copyright, given that its whole purpose was to destroy it.

Pausing the ban during appeals seems generally reasonable. After all, the point of there being an appeal is that the case isn't actually settled yet, so leaving the status quo in place until it is seems less-harmful overall. Possibly with some kind of clawback requirement for if the appeal fails.

Apple's argument was that it was being irreparably harmed by having to take the Watch off the market. Not for lost sales, which are reparable by handing money to Apple, but for the reputation / goodwill cost of consumers being exposed to the turmoil. (There's established case law that this does count as irreparable, so the main question would be whether they're really being harmed in that way.)
I just finished the book. It's a great memoir, nicely blending her personal and professional lives. It has many deep "lessons learned" from a laser-focused science career filled with hardships and obstacles. (For details, see the reviews in the linked page.)

And people are being surprised that the same battery and software DRM lockout anti-consumer practices we see in mobile devices make their way into EVs, combined with the already existing planned obsolescence of the auto industry and their service networks, and why people who aren't rich are still holding on to ICEs with their 20+ year lifespan, as they can't afford to be early adopters on the yet unproven EV future hype train?

Correct. With his verdict coming out this year, it was fresh on my mind and definitely worth a listen for those who have not.
> right to use the MIT

That right ended when he used it to break the law. It was also for use on MIT computers, not for remote access (which is why he decided to install the laptop, also knowing this was against his "right to use").

The "right to use" also included a warning that misuse could result in state and federal prosecutions. It was not some free for all.

> and pull the JSTR information

No, he did not have the right to pull en masse. The JSTOR access explicitly disallowed that. So he most certainly did not have the "right" to do that, even if he were sitting at MIT in an office not breaking into systems.

> did it in a shady way

The word you're looking for is "illegal." Breaking and entering is not simply shady - it's illegal and against the law. B&E with intent to commit a felony (which is what he was doing) is an even more serious crime, and one of the charges.

> he did it that way because he didn't want someone stealing or unplugging his laptop

Ah, the old "ends justifies break the law" argument.

Now, to be precise, MIT and JSTOR went to great lengths to stop the outflow of copying, which both saw. Schwartz returned multiple times to devise workarounds, continuing to break laws and circumvent yet more security measures. This was not some simply plug and forget laptop. He continually and persistently engaged in hacking to get around the protections both MIT and JSTOR were putting in place to stop him. He added a second computer, he used MAC spoofing, among other things. His actions started to affect all users of JSTOR at MIT. The rate of outflow caused JSTOR to suffer performance, so JSTOR disabled all of MIT access.

Go read the indictment and evidence.

> OpenAI IS distributing information they got wholesale

No, that ludicrous. How many complete JSTOR papers can I pull from ChatGPT? Zero? How many complete novels? None? Short stories? Also none? Can I ask for any of a category of items and get any of them? Nope. I cannot.

It's extremely hard to even get a complete decent sized paragraph from any work, and almost certainly not one you pre-select at will (most of those anyone produces are found by running massive search runs, then post selecting any matches).

Go ahead and demonstrate some wholesale distribution - pick an author and reproduce a few works, for example. I'll wait.

How many could I get from what Schwartz downloaded? Millions? Not just even as text - I could have gotten the complete author formatted layout, diagrams, everything, in perfect photo ready copy.

You're being dishonest in claiming these are the same. One can feel sad for Schwartz outcome, realize he was breaking the law, and realizing the current OpenAI copyright situation is likely unlike any previous copyright situation all at the same time. No need to equate such different things.

Surely by "re-run" you mean "try to re-build". If you write something that runs in the browser today (and you're not doing something dumb like using experimental or otherwise non-standard APIs), chances are extremely high that it will still work in two years. The browser is one of the most consistent, interoperable, stable software platforms that the industry has managed to produce.

- Reading math textbooks effectively. Want to revisit postgraduate math, just as a goal in itself, with no specific endpoint; more productively this time around, with less yak-shaving and distraction.

- Profiling and optimizing software. To get better at using tools and efficient workflows, and to get better intuition, to be more efficient at finding low-hanging fruit

- In support of these goals: time management, and figuring how to live correctly, and avoid time-wasting neurotransmitter traps such as HN

Is there any existing cases of LLMs coming up with novel, useful and namely better architectures? Either related to AI/ML itself or any other field.
Copying is not theft.
Stealing a thing leaves one less left
Copying it makes one thing more;
that’s what copying’s for.
Fair use is based on a flexible proportionality test so they don't need perfect arguments on all factors.

> If your "fair use" substantially negatively affects the market for the original source material, which I think is fairly clear in this case, the courts wont look favorably on that.

I think it's fairly clear that it doesn't. No one is going to use ChatGPT to circumvent NYTimes paywalls when archive.ph and the NoPaywall browser extension exist and any copyright violations would be on the publisher of ChatGPT's content.

But let's not pretend like any of us have any clue what's going to happen in this case. Even if Judge Alsup gets it, we're so far in uncharted territory any speculation is useless.
These threads keep seeing the use of the word "steal" without any concrete evidence of actual IP theft. Violating a poorly conceived patent (measuring SOX with three or more lights on a watch) is not anything at all like industrial espionage.
>The resulting shellcode, in turn, went on to once again exploit CVE-2023-32434 and CVE-2023-38606 to finally achieve the root access required to install the last spyware payload.

Why isn't Apple detecting the spyware\malware payload? If only Apps approved by Apple are allowed on an iPhone, detection should be trivial.

And why has no one bothered to ask Apple or ARM about this 'unknown hardware'?

>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.

Trying to prohibit this usage of information would not help prevent centralization of power and profit.

All it would do is momentarily slow AI progress (which is fine), and allow OpenAI et al to pull the ladder up behind them (which fuels centralization of power and profit).

By what mechanism do you think your desired outcome would prevent centralization of profit to the players who are already the largest?
Only thing I’ve had that worked against argentine ants was termidor sc. Non repellent, and slow kill time. Spray it on an active walkway, and it will slowly spread through the colony and kill them all off. Again, supercolonies, so it isn’t a perfect solution. But it’s the only thing that works for me for 6+ months at a time. Then, I have to spray again as soon as I see another Argentine.
I only work in the states, but I've had customers who were owned abroad. Basically the same behavior.

I'll add one note I forgot in my OP. The bigger, richer customers are more notorious for paying late. I wouldn't say I avoid the fortune 500 type companies, but I don't go after them.

What an odd choice for them to hide the download link behind a verified email address and coerce a TOS accept that is presumably linked, then make the documents available via search links.

The OP says something different:

"The insight here was that we could see what was being learned by the models to make their predictions that certain molecules would make for good antibiotics," James Collins, professor of Medical Engineering and Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and one of the study’s authors, said in a statement.

...

"What we set out to do in this study was to open the black box. These models consist of very large numbers of calculations that mimic neural connections, and no one really knows what's going on underneath the hood," said Felix Wong, a postdoc at MIT and Harvard and one of the study’s lead authors.

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. Apple could certainly do a hostile takeover out of their cash-on-hand if they wanted to, though -- it'd take about 10% of what they have available.

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, particularly since they seem to be launching their own smartwatch. Of course, Apple famously loves its high margins on products, and it might be fighting here to keep a 30% profit on the Watch rather than 28%.
