They tried the speed bump, they did the suspension thing, now it’s time to reduce the speed limit and install a traffic camera.

Regulation is always like this. I work in a lot of highly regulated spaces and my work deals with it an awful lot as it’s sensitive stuff. This is how it works. They always try to do the less restrictive language first and once some jackass starts trying to do literalist stuff to circumvent the intent the thumb screws come out.

Why do we end up with absurd overly restrictive regulations? Jackasses who fully knowingly try to circumvent the intent by cutlining the edges of the language. Most regulators try to make the rules loose enough to allow for things they didn’t intend to squash that are in line with the intent not being squashed.

In this case it was obvious what the intent was. They had no intention of punishing gamers in China or whatever other edges. Right or wrong they didn’t want.high end AI enabling GPUs sold to China, so they tried to propose something that captured a looser definition and held it up and said “ok folks this isn’t overly restrictive just remember why we did this and don’t be a jackass.”

Then, of course, they went and were a flagrant jackass thumbing their nose st their regulator. First, that’s just a stupid idea. Second, it’s why we can’t have nice stuff.

From CO2 in air.
So, does the US.

We always knew that, and they always knew that too.

Until recently, we considered this not a factor, because most Chinese students would stay in the US or come back later, so we could get a constant flow of highly trained individuals with most of their training having been financed by someone else.

Now things are changing, globalization is being reverted, and the benefit equation has changed, because now, as those students get back to China, it is now us the ones financing the fixed costs of the educational infrastructure to benefit China.
A LLM that could quote sources would be even more useful, and in a world where both were available there’d be no reason to use the plagiarizing one.

Somewhere I read that a lot of websites don't even have robots.txt so I wonder does Google's crawler bots skip those websites or do they crawl them as someone said as a "fair use".

Speaking generally about internet search engines; majority of the websites on the web want to get discovered and attract people to their whatever (web store, web community, web blog etc.)

The interesting idea I was thinking about is that a big company which operates a search engine like a Microsoft (Bing), can pay for example popular websites like Reddit, NYT, WSJ to have exclusive crawling right and therefore block Google from crawling their websites and only allow Bing to crawl them. This would then spark search engine content war which could significantly weaken Google's monopoly because a lot of people would switch to Microsoft Bing only because Reddit results show up in their search queries. This would be akin to Netflix investing billions of dollars in the exclusive content which then brings them a lot of new subscribers and lot of new revenue. In another words - user acquisition.
Behind the scenes: the struggle for each paper (2021)
The problem here is that people are not trained on YOUR implementation.

Everything you have listed here is very nice to have (offline mode, interoperability, …) , but MS (with O365) or G (with G Suite) are often available for free to students, teachers, and professors at critical stages in life.

Just look at Apple with their productivity suite (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). The market penetration is probably worse than LibreOffice.

The academic setting often carries over to the professional setting. Changing workflows is one of the pain points I would see in migrating to this.

I do think it looks nice and I do hope you succeed though! Good luck.

I’ve skimmed this, but if it is really true that it can play at 1800 ELO based purely on the moves, without seeing the board at each turn, that is insane. 1800 ELO is a strong human rating even with seeing the board. 1800 ELO essentially blindfolded is incredible

Making it extra difficult to replace batteries in older phones is a very deliberate design decision.

But that's to collect statistics for the US Government.

If you as an employer were to take _any_ actions based on that information it would be illegal.

So after you get hired and provide that information for government statistics collection, why would your employer ever need to ask you for it afterwards?
But I don't think anyone here is asserting that. I'm not sure how to make my point any differently so that you see what I mean. I simply don't think that basing our judgement about what's acceptable for software around what's acceptable for humans necessarily implies anything about software personhood like you are saying it does. We don't need to be able to sue a piece of software in order to make judgements about what kinds of software behaviours are acceptable.
One landmark precedent opens the door to another and so on. We’re clearly not in a “fast takeoff” scenario, so mankind has time to strike a deal. We need to honestly weigh the dynamics of a world where climate change + societal collapse + advent of AI + power hierarchy = let’s just let billions eat shit while the ultra wealthy survive the apocalypse thanks to leverage we handed them without blinking or thinking.

> At least in Germany I think it would be unacceptable for an HR person to ask if somebody considers themselves a person of color in an official context.

I’m regularly asked that question in official contexts in the last few years. American companies make hiring decisions now based on racial identification. Big companies even require their vendors and service providers to factor race into staffing decisions.

It’s illegal under American law, but in the last decade or so corporate HR departments have gotten some funny ideas.
SPA definitely have their place. However, when I see them be used for content-oriented sites with minimal user interaction (few forms, etc.) I wonder what guided the decision.
I'd call it an approach issue: LLM vs brute-force lookahead.

An LLM is predicting what comes next per it's training set. If it's trained on human games then it should play like a human; if it's trained on Stockfish games, then it should play more like Stockfish.

Stockfish, or any chess engine using brute force lookahead, is just trying to find the optimal move - not copying any style of play - and it's moves are therefore sometimes going to look very un-human. Imagine if the human player is looking 10-15 moves ahead, but Stockfish 40-50 moves ahead... what looks good 40-50 moves out might be quite different than what looks good to the human.
He is a veteran, so if he was deployed then it’s probable that anything insurance covered would continue under the VA.

I've thought about email - it'll likely be a module that syncs with your outlook or gmail. This is one area that is very hard to replace, because the cost of switching email is huge.

Many of these individuals were naturalized or given permeant residence. Many of them were in areas of medical research.

This isn't only "steal stuff and send it to China" but also "become a researcher, get grants, partner with lab in China and send them the grant money." For example:

> In May 2021, Dr. Song Guo Zheng, an Ohio resident and rheumatology professor/researcher with "strong ties to China" was sentenced to 37 months in prison and ordered to pay over $3.8 million in restitution to the NIH and Ohio State University (at which Zheng formerly led a research team) after being convicted of making false statements to federal authorities regarding his ties to China. He had, before his sentencing, pleaded guilty to lying on NIH grant applications to spend funds helping develop China's immunology and rheumatology expertise. Zheng had lied about and hidden his connection to China's Thousand Talents Plan, which the FBI described as "a program established by the Chinese government to recruit individuals with knowledge or access to foreign technology intellectual property."

I think this was done with good intent but could have been handled better. But you can't satisfy anyone these days. All that happens is a YT celebrity does a hit job on Apple and everyone dogpiles on.

Just yesterday I was speaking to someone who was getting fed up of her iPhone 14. She said she'd had it less than a year and it'd been terrible, charged really slowly andw ent slow and she was "going to buy a fucking samsung next time". She let me have a look at it. It was in low power mode and she was using a poundland 5W charger on a chewed up piece of shit cable. Charged it up of my PD powerbank and got her to order an Anker PD charger and a good cable on Amazon and explained what power save mode is.

That's the average user. And when they go looking for solutions they find idiots on YouTube with whole channels devoted to shitting on particular vendors because it's divisive, they get clicks and make money.

On top of this, the woman spends a fortune servicing her Mercedes but will only spend £1 each on a replacement charger and cable. What do you think will happen when her battery craps out?

If Apple tell people that their battery needs replacing some fucker will fire up a video with APPLE GOUGING PEOPLE FOR NEW BATTERIES. Fuck, it's disposable, it's maintenance no different to your car. Take it to the garage and get it swapped out.

> Something I don't endorse and I hold Phys.org responsible for benefiting from

Phys.org probably doesn't know about it either. Most advertisement schemes just involve the website-owner putting up Google AdSense windows around their site, and then advertisers bidding on the placement per-user. That shirt was probably destined to be marketed to you (or a similar person) on another website if it didn't show up there.

Subject matter aside, Phys.org is probably as confused as you are. Reach out to them and double-check that this was the intended behavior if you're still unsure.
We should submit to %0.002 of the world's population magical thinking, stop all moon base projects since people may die on the moon and "desecrate" it!

/s

Seriously, why do we still have religions?
While I know nothing of the Navajo, the moon and the sun are revered by many people. They are literally seen as gods by some religions. I have no trouble believing that they see this as desecration without having to actually delve into their beliefs. But yea, would be interesting to know what it is to them.

There are many obstacles to living on the moon, but I don't think their belief will bar us from burying people there. Like other religions, believers will have to disconnect their god from the physical moon body.
I am a professor of computer security in the US.

Chinese students who want to study this topic in the US face extreme scrutiny in visa interviews. On cursory inspection, there is a logic there.

The logic falls apart when you realize that all academic research is intended to be published. We don’t develop secret IP or trade secrets[1]. Our development offices want us to obtain patents on our work, but that is another form of publication.

I wish the powers that are moving to stigmatize Chinese academics would be clearer why they are doing it.

If they are concerned that students are using a student visa as a cover story for traditional espionage (cultivating assets, etc) they should say so.

If they are doing it in an attempt to starve China of trained workers in cutting edge tech, like they are with chip bans, I wish they would say so.

But claiming this is about “IP theft” makes it unclear if these efforts are pretextual or if our national security apparatus legitimately doesn’t understand the basics of how universities work.

ok but what is it?
> I simply don't think that basing our judgement about what's acceptable for software around what's acceptable for humans necessarily implies anything about software personhood like you are saying it does.

It doesn't. And all of my comments are about that. Like I just said in the previous reply. You're replying to my comment where I also just said this. Please stop replying to me saying that I'm saying that.

The article is about people (well, companies) being sued. Not about software being sued. Software can't be sued.

Whether or not there are additional laws written about what's acceptable behavior for software (whatever that means? It's assuming software can make decisions) is irrelevant. You can't sue software. People are being sued because the plaintiffs think that people broke people laws and are liable for damages. Software can't break laws and can't be held liable.

I'm having to reword this over and over because you keep replying to me. I think you might be replying to me repeatedly just to have the last word.
Humanoid robots strike me as a FSD/AGI level of overshoot. Sure a humanoid robot that actually worked would be able to accomplish everything a human could physically because of the way interior spaces are designed. But focussing on that deliverable may miss a lot of available use case solutions.

For example robotic vacuums and lawn mowers have been around, pretty cheap, and pretty good for some time.

There's lots of home chores that a wheeled robovac with telescoping arms & really good vision could accomplish very well (empty/load dishwasher to/from sink/cabinets, light kitchen work, dusting, sweeping, etc). To deliver this in humanoid form you need to solve all the same vision/arm articulation problems, PLUS all the self balancing/walking/look&feel stuff of a humanoid.

There's actually stuff a robot could do better than me if it had a telescoping arm instead of being humanoid look&feel focussed (dusting / reaching high places etc).

To me it conflates 2 problems and overcomplicates to focus on the humanoid form factor at this stage.

And look at the evolution of some tools - cars do not really look like horse drawn carriages for example. Helicopters don't look like flying cars.

My Diverse Hiring Playbook
The transputer tech is a rich trove of forgotten ideas. Occam and Hoare's CSP book are especially interesting. Highly recommended. As in read the primary sources, not blog posts about what people think CSP is.
Great job on the launch. Your pricing is reasonable for small biz, but I'm unclear on what "Email" in https://nino.app/pricing means. Does that mean you offer email hosting like Outlook/Gmail or email support?

For anyone not in the 365 corporate world looking for office apps, you're unfortunately competing with https://workspace.google.com/pricing, regardless of the unique feature set you offer.

For anyone looking for a no-code solution, your pricing is very low for one person startup when compared to https://www.softr.io/pricing but would get pricey for a team of 5-10.

I am someone you should target because I help startups get started, with low/no code solutions. I also use many paid solutions personally like Cozi.com, Zoom, and ProtonMail for managing my life. I can see your tech is great and what you need is to figure out your place in the market. Where are you positioned in comparison to Zoho, HubSpot, and Zapier? How can I integrate you with Shopify? Also, you need a LOT of templates for https://about.nino.app/en/site

I applaud you for building what you've already built in such a competitive and demanding market. You need a hook - the one thing I cannot get easily from any of your competitors, which would make it easy for me to suggest you to a founder. I don't think offline mode or security cut it.

This article is definitely hamming it up to fill an article about a single line in a change log.

I don’t know if anyone is emotional about this. At worst maybe someone is vaguely annoyed that they will have to change their workflow that invariably involves .rtf files for some reason.
>A lot of features you mentioned are implemented

No, they aren't. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but there is a difference between true support and a superficial check-mark.

>I get the best-of-breed argument. Nino's thesis is that people will find more value if enough tools are bundled in one place

I'd like to interrogate this a little more. Why would someone not go with MS365 or Workspace?

I can see your answer of:
>Nino has a better foundation to (1) consolidate a lot more apps than they currently do, (2) drastically improve speed with offline architecture, and (3) offer unmatched privacy and security with end-to-end encryption (coming soon)

Taking this point by point:
1) Your ambition is to have more apps, but the reality is that TODAY, both MS365 and Workspace actually have MORE applications integrated, and those applications are much more feature-rich.
2) MS365 certainly has deep offline integration. Workspace, I'm not sure what their capabilities are.
3) Neither MS365 nor Workspace supports true e2e (though I seem to remember Workspace having some option to import your own keys for client-side encryption) - regardless, I'm not sure that's enough as a selling point. Also, e2e has many challenges around the UX of key management, rotation and sharing.

By the way, MS365 and Workspace are not the only games in town. If you want to see another example of a 'super-app' that supports a million 'modules' take a look at ZohoOne - they support everything under the sun for a relatively low price, and all of it is mediocre (at best).

---

Another thing I can't gauge from your page is, what it means for one of your modules to be very well integrated against another. You have a chat app and a slide app .. how do those work together that puts MS365 to shame?
I agree. Apple was wrong to do that, hence the settlement.
