The point of vim is to be vi but with more features.

It's not to configure it however you dang well please.

If this were the point, which it isn't, you could use emacs, which can be configured in vastly more dang ways. Including ways which are a superset of vi, as you yourself admit.
> Unfortunately you can't treeshake a language that supports reflections.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what the Google Closure Compiler does: https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/limitati...

Though it has a ton of restrictions on how you write code and how you can use reflection.
The four factors considered in a fair use test:

the purpose and character of the use
the nature of the copyrighted work
the amount and substantiality of the portion taken
the effect of the use upon the potential market.

Literally every single one of these factors has very complicated precedent and each one is an open question when it comes to AI. Since fair use is a balancing test this could go any way.

Stability took the easy way out because they didn't have billions of dollars to play around with and Microsoft to back them. Let's see what OpenAI does but calling everyone who disagrees with your naive interpretation of fair use "AI bros" is doing everyone a disservice.
They communicate OS version device compatibility, I’m talking about communicating OS version EOL. For example, Windows 10 EOL is 2025-10-14, and we know this years in advance. For Apple, not only do we not get advance notice, we don’t even know when it’s already happened.

No, I’m not implying there’s something wrong with shipping the occasional update to EOL devices.
Unix is a DE, no I about it.

This isn’t a ding against Unix, the integration provided by IDEs is great for some types of work, but it’s also more hindrance than help for other types of work.

Also, the toolset that you get from a typical Unix environment is more or less language agnostic, so you have your tool toolset available to you even when you’re working on something obscure with poor dedicated tooling support.

That is not a replacement for IntelliJ knowing about my DI bindings, though.
Fair use is intended for humans, much like copyright in general.

If you can't copyright AI-generated pieces, then why would fair use apply to LLMs?

Of those, only

> two-letter YAFIYGI commands suck, untyped pipes suck

sound like problems with unix as an IDE; most of what the article discusses is unaffected by underlying APIs.

I also feel like I should question whether you're not attacking a strawman; modern unix-likes are continuations of unix, but they're not stuck in the 70s. For example, AIUI everyone agrees that fork() has shortcomings... which is why we have vfork (and I think others?) now.

Software development needs to be driven by user needs. Clearly the best action in this scenario is to bundle in telemetry code that reports back which numbers are used with this program, assemble a ranking of the most frequently compared numbers in the real world, and use that to order the comparisons in v2 of the program.

I used pkgsrc for years on netbsd, it was fine. I did run it briefly on Mac but unwisely switched to Mac ports and then jumped to home-brew where I stopped. It may be time to reconsider.

That said, it looks like a second class citizen on osx:

The suit demonstrates instances where ChatGTP / Bing Copilot copy from the NYT verbatim. I think it is hard to argue that such copying constitutes "fair use".
However, OAI/MS should be able to fix this within the current paradigm: Just learn to recognize and punish plagiarism via RLHF.

However, the suit goes far beyond claiming that such copying violates their copyright: "Unauthorized copying of Times Works without payment to train LLMs is a substitutive use that is not justified by any transformative purpose."

This is a strong claim that just downloading articles into training data is what violates the copyright. That GTP outputs verbatim copies is a red herring. Hopefully the judge(s) will notice and direct focus on the interesting, high-stakes, and murky legal issues raised when we ask: What about a model can (or can't) be "transformative"?

Like design patterns books, none of its advice should be used unless it solves a real problem that you noticed while not looking for a place to use the technique you just read about.

I kinda hate the book, it's about the exact opposite of what I consider good programming: trying to make complicated things look simple.

To answer three questions:

1) this was not reported in the context of any bug bounty[0], and the total conversation between me and Apple is 4 emails (1: hello do you plan to fix this? 2: can you reproduce this on the newest ios17? 3: no. 4: if you are able to reproduce it on ios17 let us know)

2) exfiltration is obviously possible, I’m not sure why I would even need to specify that any page is able to read its own contents using JavaScript

3) the iPhone 6s and 15.8 are still seemingly supported by Apple.

My grand parents live in an old farm-house, 100 years old or more. When that house was built - there was no electricity. That had been added later - and you could still see where channels had been hewn into the wall to put in cables and later plastered over again.

But everything electrical in that house was repairable to a degree that seems unimaginable today.

For example, every single power plug had screws. If you removed those, it would come apart in two halves, to reveal another set of screws that held the cable in. If you undid those screws, you could easily shorten or replace the cable - in case it was broken. There was no glue, no solder, and most of the plugs had even metal inserts for the screws to go into.

The appliances on the other end of the cables were just as easy to take apart and put back together. And their insides were (mostly) free of proprietary parts - almost everything was "standard" stuff, that you could get replacements for, from a supplier of your own choice.

Many of those appliances still worked perfectly fine, after my grandparents had died, and the house had been torn down. That doesn't mean they never broke - but if they did, my grandpa was able to easily fix them himself. And if he could not fix something, he still was able to salvage it for parts that then could be used to fix other things.
Obviously it will be hard for DEI trained folks to do any "real" work.

I don’t doubt it does. It’s easy to get it to spit out long answers from Stack Overflow verbatim, I’ve done it. Maybe some of the “transformative” nature of the LLM output is the removal of any authorship, copyright, license, and edit history information. ;) The point here is to supplant Google as the portal of information, right? It doesn’t have new information, but it’s pretty good at remixing the words from multiple sources, when it has multiple sources. One possible reason for their legal woes wrt copyright is that it’s also great at memorizing things that only have one source. My college Markov-chain text predictor would do the same thing and easily get stuck in local regions if it couldn’t match something else.
Basically none of the training material for GPT was used under an "unlimited" license. There are very important legal limitations. GPT just doesn't care much about them.

I'm curious. My previous soft was from Ikea. Of course Ikea makes cheap disposable furniture but this sofa, IMO, was not one of those. It was made of real wood, not particle board. It was super well designed. It assembled into 4 parts using slots and a few very large steal bolts and was also easy to disassemble for moving. It's entire cover was easy to remove so you could clean stains or easily replace it. Same for the cushions. And it was comfortable. It was under $1000 (note: I know Ikea redesigns things so the same soft today might not be as good as that same model from 2016)

Moving overseas I had to buy a new sofa in 2021. Middle of COVID, Ikea didn't have any I couldn't wait. The sofa I ended up with is the cheapest shit sofa I've ever owned. The materials are clearly inferior. No part of it is cleanable. The cushions are one sided so can not flip them in 4 directions, they only fit one way. I got tired of looking and settled on these though, expecting to replace them.

Anyway, my point was (a) I understand your POV but also (b) there are possibly some good under $1000 sofas. I've had similar luck with a few Ikea dining room tables that were solid wood, not particle board.
I would add that not only the quality in general is degrading, but also the treatment of the brands and manufacturers to the customer. I believe that the feeling of abandonment (sometimes even scam) in which the brands subject their customers further deepen the feeling of lack of quality in general.
A few years ago I bought a Samsung refrigerator. It came with a big "10 year warranty" sticker. After a couple of years or so, one day it stopped cooling. I thought what a piece of crap, but at least it had a warranty. I found out, over the phone, that the 10 year warranty was only for the compressor. Still, I was lucky because it was the compressor that had gone bad. But there was more fine print in the 10-year warranty: it only covered the compressor and only the price of the part. In other words, I had to pay for the technician to come to my house and replace the part. Almost 200 dollars for a refrigerator that had cost 800 and was supposedly under warranty.

This was a fun read and I agree in sentiment to the rage of all the crap from target that falls apart in 10 minutes but I feel like I've developed an ok sense if when I'm taking this risk and am less frustrated when something cheap fails. Essentially any time I buy anything but a book from Amazon or anything but cereal and vodka from Target. Ultimately I think the crapification of lowend consumer goods has just made me buy less crap, which feels good I think. I've also accepted a pretend scifi narrative in which the only kind of society that doesn't descend into anarchy is one where people are constantly buying and throwing away cheap crap.

And as an aside I have one of those crazy juicers but I stopped using it because it scares my wife and smells like burning / ozone.

Won't hold in court. GPT is a platform mainly providing answer to private individuals asking. Is like you ask a professor a question and he answered verbatim what copyrighted materials available (due to photographic memory) word for word back to you. Now if you take this answer and write a book or publish enmass on blogs for example, then you are the one should be sued by NYT. If GPT use the exact same wordings and publish it out to evetyone visiting their page, then that is on OpenAI.

I have friends who have received a replacement fridge, under warranty, five years after the purchase date of the failed fridge — any reasonable person would expect a fridge to function for more than 5 years.

Apple have also been forced to replace MacBooks under warranty as far as 4 years out, from my anecdotal experience, and even have pages addressing expectations: https://www.apple.com/au/legal/statutory-warranty/au/

The money quote from the above link:

> For the avoidance of doubt, Apple acknowledges that the Australian Consumer Law may provide for remedies beyond 24 months for a number of its products.

It’s worth noting that the Australian consumer law states that goods must be of “acceptable quality”, or “merchantable quality”, specifically related to advertised quality and price: essentially if you are sold something more expensive for more money, it has more warranty.
