Because it drastically shifts the bargaining power of the parties. The whole point of injunctions (which is what the ITC is able to order) is that they are prospective, not retrospective. If injunctions can be put on hold until all appeals are exhausted, as suggested above, that has a huge effect on the timeline on which this all plays out. Appeals take significant time, and Apple's refresh cycle is annual.

Also, some plaintiff's might have a hard time paying for all of the appeals — if a large defendant can simply wait them out, without regard to wins in courts of first impression, that is a boon for deep-pocketed companies.

>Either it doesn't do so directly, or it does do so directly, but all the efficiency gains are immediately consumed by more useless beurocracy.

That's how government digitalization has functioned in my country. It hasn't improved things, it just moved all the paper hassle to a digital hassle now where I need to go to Reddit to find out how to use it right and then do a back and forth to get it right. Same with the new digitalization of medical activities, a lot of doctors I know say it actually slows them down instead of making them more productive as they say they're now drowning in even more bureaucracy.

So depending on how you design and use your IT systems, they can improve things for you if done well, but they cal also slow you down if done poorly. And they're more often done poorly than great because the people in charge of ordering and buying them (governments, managers, execs, bean counters, etc) are not the same people who have to use them every day (doctors, taxpayers, clerks, employees in the trenches, etc).

I kind of feel the same way about the Slack "revolution". It hasn't made me more productive compared to the days when I was using IBM Lotus Sametime. Come to think of it, Slack and Teams, and all these IM apps designed around constant group chatting instead of 1-1, is actually making me less productive since it's full of SO .... MUCH ... NOISE, that I need to go out of my way to turn off or tune out in order to get any work done.

The famous F1 aerodinamic engineer, Arain Newey, doesn't even use computers, he has his secretary print out his emails every day which he reads at home and replies through his secretary the next day, and draws everything by hand on the drafting board and has the people below him draw them in CAD and send him the printed simulation results through his secretary, and guess what, his cars have been world class winning designs. So more IT and more sync communication, doesn't necessarily mean more results.

I think the charitable explanation here is that this was an undocumented debugging interface. Apple knew about it and did not disclose it in any publicly available material. The NSA almost certainly has access to Apple's source code and documentation. Just look at the Snowden leaks when it was disclosed that the NSA was mitming Google's DC to DC links. They already knew Google wasn't encrypting those links before they surreptitiously dug up the fiber and they already knew enough about the system architecture to make sense of that firehose of data. Clearly either through NSL or bribing some insiders, they already exfiltrated a bunch of internal documentation and source code. Why would Apple be any different?

I wouldn't expect them to have HSM keys or anything but a mirror of their VCS? Yeah the NSA probably has that.

DeepMind's 2023 Advances in AI
I'm not for or against anything at this point until someone gets their balls out and clearly defines what copyright infringement means in this context.

If you give a bunch of books to a kid all by the same author and then pay that kid to write a book in a similar style and then I go on to sell that book...have I somehow infringed copyright?

The kids book at best is likely to be a very convincing facsimile of the original authors work...but not the authors work.

It seems to me that the only solution for artists is to charge for access to their work in a secure environment then lobotomise people on the way out.

The endgame seems to be "you can view and enjoy our work, but if you want to learn or be inspired by it, thats not on"
I'm not sure that's a fair description at this point. They have distributed some SDKs at this point.

I really do wish it were open source already though. I know they have laid out a roadmap for opening the source.

Fraudsters: Turn Yourself In
The new owner isn't beholden to promises made by the prior management, the company is. Just because ownership of a company changes hands doesn't mean that prior obligations of the company are voided.

Now, if, during the course of the sale, the management didn't communicate to the new owners what promises had been made, maybe the company could sue the old management, but the company is still liable for its contracts.
Namespacing does not prevent (or even significantly complicate) dependency confusion, unless we think that there's some difference in confusability between these two errors:

requestss

and

requestss/requests

(I think namespacing is a good idea in general, but dependency confusion is mostly a disjoint namespaces problem, not a depth problem. Python could solve the former by doing what Go does and make the source repository itself be the namespace, but this a significant incompatible breakage.)

I'm sorry if this is too callous, but if you don't understand what you are talking about you should first familiarize yourself with the problem, then make claims about what should be done.

It would be great if we could tell specifically how something like ChatGPT creates its output, it would be great for research, so it's not like there is no interest in it, but it's just not an easy thing to do. It's more "Where did you get your identity from?" than "What's the author of that book?". You might think "But sometimes what the machine gives CAN literally be the answer to 'What is the author of that book?'" but even in those cases the answer is not restricted to the work alone, there is an entire background that makes it understand that thing is what you want.

>Genes encode a ton of behaviors, you can't just ignore that.

I'm not ignoring that, I'm just saying that in LLMs we call these things weights. And i don't want to downplay the importance of weights, its probably a significant difference between us and other hominids.

But even if you considered some behaviors to be more akin to the server or interface or preprocess in LLMs it still wouldn't detract from the fact that the vast majority of the things that make us autonomous logical sentient beings come about through a process that is very similar to the core workings of LLMs. I'm also not saying that all animal brains function like LLMs, though that's an interesting thought to consider.
FWIW, I've gotten ~~50lb~~ 46lb (grumble) bags of dog food delivered with my Walmart+ order. Haven't seen anything about a weight limit (though I probably wouldn't ask one of the poor contracted delivery people to bring me something huge, like a large piece of flat pack furniture, for example)

Edit: imagine that "50lb" has a strikethrough

The problem with conspiracies is everyone involved knows it’s a secret. If you’re the CIA, it’s much less risky to compromise a chip design engineer than have everyone from the CEO down at Apple in on the plant.

No it doesn't. You're ignoring the context.

You can't have too much iodine when it's obtained from iodized salt.

...because you can't handle that much salt.

From the article: 10x'ing the concentration of iodine in salt had no adverse effects. You'd have to eat salt by the pound daily to reach levels where iodine is harmful, but at that point, that'll be the least of your worries.
It could author its format parsers in https://github.com/google/wuffs, and make them BSD-like open source to maximize adoption.

An even bigger change: It could allow users to choose their iMessage client freely. Why not open up the protocol? I’m sure a security focused client would be popular and in the grand scheme of things easy to author.

Perhaps they could open up more of the OS and apps. Perhaps their claims about the security of users and the App Store is kind of BS.
It would be great to get a straightforward assessment of the improvements in reactor tech in this new plant. "Passive safety features" sound pretty good to my untrained ear. But how much of this is marketing bullshytt?

That's the tragic part: you will not see them, they're effectively invisible. Unless it's someone you know, who has suddenly faded from view -- how would you know? These people are staying at home, quietly tucked away, being taken care of by loved ones if they're lucky to have them.

Somehow all the articles criticizing Vogtle keep mentioning the cost overruns, the additional cost to consumers, but don't mention that in Georgia people pay less than the national average price per kWh (11 cents vs 12.7) while sunny California, for example pays about twice the average (24.3 cents per kWh). In my state, NY, where 2 reactors were decommissioned in 2020 and 2021, the average price is 22 cents per kWh.

> Then the model can “choose” which type to respond with, and the grammar will allow either.

Ah I see. So you give the entire "monadic" grammar to the LLM, both as a `grammar` argument and as part of the prompt so it knows the "can't do that" option exists.

I'm aware of the "OR" statements in grammar (my original comment uses that). In my experience though, small models quickly get confused when you add extra layers to the JSON schema.
I can guarantee you that business investors for a struggling franchise are not making financial decisions for political reasons. They're trying to make money.

Pizza places have been charging for delivery for a few years now. They don't just absorb it by increasing pizza prices anymore. My guess is their volume has gotten so low or extremely variable that it's hard to plan for the correct number of drivers each night, and the marginal cost of another driver is so high now that they can't just have extra drivers hang around doing nothing, and it's probably harder to keep drivers because they're being poached by all the delivery services.

Strategically, it makes a lot of sense. There are at least a half a dozen popular delivery services with thousands of drivers.
That's a 5 month range chief.
Doordash provides the service of matching delivery drivers (which most restaurants cannot justify having, since delivery is not a big portion) with orders. If each restaurant had their own fleet there would be a lot of inefficiency. Doordash can (theoretically... don't know how they actually work) schedule several routes with several orders on them simultaneously, thus reducing cost. I'm not sure how many SW engineers they would need. My SW engineering experience says they'd need a few dozen of very competent, well compensated engineers. My engineering management experience tells me they probably have hundreds of underpaid, overworked, barely competent new graduates that cost a lot of money in aggregate.
There is stronger evidence that public water fluoridation reduces tooth decay in children than there is evidence that it does any sort of harm. The only 'harm' linked to public water fluoridation is mild dental fluorosis, which is cosmetic.

There are natural sources of water that have fluoride levels high enough to cause harm, but these are at levels of fluoride much higher than what is in treated water.

It's not a bad thing necessarily but it seldom works well practice. Dating as an adult living with your parents is super awkward. How many women want to spend the night at some guy's house and run into his parents in the hallway the next morning? Ick.

Ambitious, upwardly mobile people often have to move for job opportunities. Meanwhile their parents are often not yet retired and are tied to a different location by their own careers.

The interpersonal dynamics can be really toxic. Often the older generation has particular outdated ideas about household management, religion, cooking, and child rearing. Clear boundaries have to be set and respected or else there is constant conflict and resentment.

Mashing up CAD design and software dependency management is something I hadn’t considered, and I’m liking it. Many CAD projects might be described as “derivative works” that embed/extend other works (mold design, wiring, AEC, and the general mechanical assembly). Most CAD apps have “component libraries” but even the best of them are lacking and there is precious little interoperability between them.

I miss my days working on CAD and this is renewing my excitement for it a bit.

Tools that prevent the developer from expressing fundamentally invalid ideas? Great. Not so great are:

- Tools that force the user to adopt a mindset that the tool designer prefers; essentially this bounds the expressive power of the tool artificially for aesthetic or other opinions.

- Tools that prevent the user from even understanding the danger that the tool is guarding against. IMO developers need to know what concurrency is, what the range of various numeric types are, how signed values actually work. I know others disagree on this, but idiot-proof tooling doesn’t help people grow past a certain point.
Perhaps it’s time to end the notion of copyright entirely. It’s been flawed since its inception, but more obviously so since the digital age made it apparent that information wants to be free, and will always find a way to be so.
