> No, I don't generally think it's okay to profit off of the work of others without their consent.

I'd argue that essentially all work based off the work of others. I can only draw a "car" better than a random guess because I've seen many (individually copyrighted) car designs.

That's not to say we inherently have to treat use of statistical models the same, but rather that there does have to be a line somewhere to define where a new work, while dependant on previous works in aggregate, is sufficiently transformative - not carrying substantial similarity to any particular existing work that played a part in its creation - and can therefore be used by the author to make a living.

That line has to be placed in a way that prioritizes the progress of sciences and useful arts, rather than just enriching rightsholder megacorps like Getty Images/Universal Music. It should certainly allow training something like a tumor segmentation network, rather than rendering it infeasible.

Also, while whether it's morally okay is relevant and worth discussing, I think the question still stands of whether you believe my example would count as fair use, given the transformative nature and lack of impact on the market of the original work.

> Just because I think there are situations where it's not ethically wrong to use someone's work without permission does not mean I think it's ethically wrong for someone to protect their work any way they see fit.

> To use an extreme example: I do not think it's wrong for a starving man to steal food. I also do not think it's wrong for someone to defend their food from being stolen, regardless of the morality of the thieves' motivation.

I personally agree that they have a right to do so, but I don't think it'd be "baffling" that the [starving man/person training a tumor detector] would be against it, and it's likely not a "non-issue" for them to obtain sufficient [food/data] through other means.

Particularly since there are already means to opt-out that are respected by scrapers, and this is instead an attempt to do active damage. I guess in the analogy it'd be leaving out poisoned bread, although that's more extreme than I intend.

My son was gifted a toolset by his aunt and uncle for Christmas. Plastic tools, belt etc...and a little voice box which every 3rd press or so extolls the virtues of John Deere tractors.

This is a good argument because those posts get a lot of interaction
I work for a company that is trying to bolt this functionality onto all the AWS database products. At least at the IAM role level.

>2. got amazing, highly flexible and generalized iterator and monad support (you can use iterator methods on monads), basically second only to Haskell itself, that compiles down to the equivalent of hand written assembly code loops

As I understand it, Rust lacks do-notation and higher-kinded types, making it hard to have true monads in Rust.

Scala would be the language with monad support comparable to Haskell.

> Sure there's a small overhead to smart pointers

Not so small, and it has the potential to significantly speed down an application when not used wisely. Here are e.g. some measurements where the programmer used C++11 and did everything with smart pointers: https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/issues/80#issuecomm.... There was a speed down between factor 2 and 10 compared with the bare-bone C++98 implementation. Also remember that smart pointers create memory leaks when used with circular references, and there is an additional memory allocation involved with each smart pointer.

> Garbage collection has an overhead too of course

The Boehm GC is surprisingly efficient. See e.g. these measurements: https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/blob/master/testcase.... The same benchmark suite as above is compared with different versions of Mono (using the generational GC) and the C code (using Boehm GC) generated with my Oberon compiler. The latter only is 20% slower than the native C++98 version, and still twice as fast as Mono 5.
Being selective means they can start further, go faster, and expect motivation.

Even if the value is coming entirely from your fellow students, that has no effect on deciding which school you want to go to. You want to be in that environment, and also get the status from the exclusivity.

Those animals which have more offspring tend to live shorter lives. It's about equilibrium. If it were not the case, then their populations would grow out of control.

If animals which do not have many offspring did not live very long, they would have gone extinct already.

I am sure the people who had lived there were just fine with europeans dividing up land, huh? Doesn’t help oil was discovered recently …

I mean, look at what happened to France in Vietnam. They were “happily” appreciated while pretending they knew what was best for the people that lived there already.

Y’all will do anything to pretend it’s “ok” for white people to tell folks what to do with their land. Ottoman empire or not.

Bottom line is: Zion != Israel. Zionism is making the call in today’s era and that call is to genocide.

It is wrong.
Other people pointed out they appreciated this prose. It’s easy to forget what exactly people are asking for when they talk about regulating the training of machine learning models.
> I don’t really agree that training massive causal LMs is a “product focus”.

I'd hope that Google DeepMind's mission statement is a bit broader than that, but certainly Gemini seems to be the focus. It seems to me there's a world of difference between DeepMind's original goal of developing AGI (via whatever means - as a research objective), and now being told they have to build LLMs.

If we compare Google to Meta, it seems it used to be that DeepMind was equivalent to FAIR as a pure research organization, and Brain equivalent to Meta's product focused ML group(s), but now the joint Google DeepMind is more akin to Meta's GenAI group, and there is no unfettered research group at Google left free to pursue AGI in any way other than hoping it can be developed out of LLMs. However, FAIR also seems constrained now that they have been moved into a product-focused part of the organization (under CPO Chris Cox).
Sorry it didn't work out, but thank you for trying. I often say that things are rare because life happened, not because of some incompetence or evil. We do our best to preserve and not everything makes it.

I’ve had one of these guys sitting around for a while - love the hardware, love the concept, but I haven’t really found a lot of use for it - what are y’all using them for?
It can. Ubiquitous level 2 is probably more important than fast charging.

Being able to get 8kwhs typically requires a 2 phase 50a circuit. Delivering a garage full either requires shared charging, or upgrades to support it.
I think we can agree that businesses have the right to "fire" their customers, for (pretty much) any reason try like.

Of course, as with any "subjective" behavior right, there can be regulatory implications (Christian cake shops selling wedding cakes to gay couples springs to mind.)

I'm not aware of any regulations though that would force RH to keep customers that broke their source-distribution-embargo.

Clearly RH is not impinging on the users rights to distribute the source. They are impinging on the "privilege" of being a customer. Does that second-order effect fall under the GPL? Smarter lawyers than me will decide, but it seems like a tough sell.

Of course we may not -like- that restriction, but its a long way from there to -legal- requirements.

It's hard really to see how one can mandate an OSS company to -have- to do business with "any customer" when the moral-principle-premise is so high in OSS. I'm not sure that a regulation against RH would be a win for OSS in general.
This is a good moment to ask exactly what this patent system is achieving here. Removing potentially life-saving features from Apple's watches isn't a very helpful step; pulse oximetry is a 1935 or 1970s technology depending on where we start counting [0] and it seems a stretch to say that Apple wouldn't have figured this out themselves.

So in this case, the taxpayer is paying good money to enforce a measure that hurts them. Why should they be forced to do that? What is the upside in this case? It is purposefully slowing down life-saving technological innovation. I don't see why it is believed that this is helping progress.

All medical-grade blood oxygen sensors that I have seen in hospitals are put on the tip of the finger. This arrangement allows them to beam light through the human flesh and measure how much of it is absorbed - the light source is on one side of the finger and the sensor on the other and there is no bone between them at the tip of the finger, just tissue with lots of blood in it. Smart watches are carried on the wrist so they can only measure light reflected back which gives much lower sensitivity and accuracy.
How are things ever supposed to become historic if people aren't allowed to fight to keep them around when they are only 20 or 30 years old?
That's a good question but presently it's fair to say that governments are way past that line. It would be a great start with governments committed to not spending more than they earn and printing money to cover the deficit. At least this would stop the hidden tax of inflation.

Every time politicians decide to do good somewhere they do bad everywhere. It's not that bureaucrats are evil and incompetent (although many are) is just that free markets are the ultimate resource allocation tool and government intervention is necessarily inefficient and make us poorer.
Good students make a school good. A school with high entrance standards provide high quality peers to learn with and from.
The order is only that they can’t import them into the US with this feature enabled. The sensor is still on it and been disabled in software.

The actual case around the patent infringement is still going through the courts and if I understand correctly nothing has been decided with that.

> OCaml's verbose and underpowered first class module system

It's definitely verbose, but underpowered? Modules are just as powerful as Haskell's typeclasses (and therefore more powerful than Rust's).
Man, I forgot about that show. I hope season 2 is good and doesn’t get too silly.
It doesn’t surprise me that it’s not code but it’s common and I’ve never heard of an insurer doing anything at all to verify your electrical isn’t a total disaster.

Either way GPs point that the lack of 240 stopped / stops US washers from having water heaters is unfounded. There’s almost always a cable with 240 not two feet away.

Another thing I didn’t think about is that a lot of people (not me) have sinks in their laundry rooms, so there’s also cold and hot run there anyway. I wonder if some Europeans aren’t running hot to all their sinks.

edit: I’m not sure it is against code? When I google it it seems to be fairly common advice and allowed under NEC.

> An arena is not the answer, a normal data structure is (most likely a vector). I'm not sure an arena is ever really the answer, because it seems like a poor work around to multiple small allocations, which shouldn't happen in the first place.

The only way I can make sense of this claim is if you're saying the items he needs to operate on should be inlined into a vector. But that's basically just an arena.
On most years China wins six golds, so more slots would definitely lead to more golds.
I don't know what any of this is trying to say. You brought up Sykes-Picot as if it was a part of Zionism; it is not, and, moreover, it is the reason there is a Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon today. You implied that Sykes-Picot displaced nation states that previously existed; I don't believe that's true, that's not how the Ottoman Empire functioned.

If you're asking me for a long thread about why British, French, and Russian colonialism in MENA was good, sorry, I don't have that for you. But somehow, it only ever seems to be Israel we're talking about when we discuss this stuff. Israel is no less legitimate than its neighbors, some of which have in the last 5-10 years laid a much stronger claim to the word "genocide" as well.

I would suggest maybe you not lead with Sykes-Picot next time you try to formulate this argument.
To expand on the other (excellent) comment; cloud profits are hard. Google Cloud only recently started turning a profit, and Microsoft's Azure purportedly doesn't make money at all. You'd be building up to compete with Amazon AWS and Oracle Cloud, both of whom are fierce competitors.

Apple has already proven that they can build a server product, they just haven't figured out the "why" yet. Cloud customers are trying to buy low-margin compute with good support for their software. Apple is trying to sell high-margin compute with good support for their software. The indifference towards either party's needs damned Xserve from the start, and Apple would have to take a radically different approach if they want a shot at succeeding nowadays. Their hardware would be competing with Nvidia's enormous Grace servers and Ampere's dirt-cheap ARM vCPUs. Their software would probably be ignored unless it was Open Source.

And all that begs the question - why bother? If Apple won't be making iPhone-sized hardware margins or getting Mac-level brand loyalty, they'd be spending money to undermine their core products. Comparatively, a VR headset that retreads the last decade of HMD tech a-la iPhone is a pretty safe bet.
“We need the rover to operate for 10 weeks and will be discredited as an organization if it fails at 9” is what causes that. It's not necessarily a bad thing.
In all honesty, Blood Ox isn't really that useful. It seems cool but the novelty wears off quickly, especially given that having it switched on does contribute to battery life.

I'd say it's only really useful for people that have a particular concern around those levels.

Appreciate that this isn't what the article is about, but I don't think it will impact sales too much.

Apple now need to go and implement their own Stress or Heart Rate Variability score. That in my mind is a bigger gap.
Yeah I’m in the same boat.

Just a party gag so far with some friends. Like if I'm at a friend's house and they're using their phone I'll Bluetooth spam them to lock up their phone for a second to mess with them.
This kept Apple's grubby paws off of a small innovator. The industry needs more patents to defend against egregious titans.

Apple has more than enough money to license this patent if they so choose.

Apple needs serious competition. And that won't happen with their massive scale until regulators start nipping away at their all-encompassing competitive moat.

The largest companies are barely innovating at all, and that should speak volumes. They're camping their position and raking in easy money from the folks doing all the hard work at the bottom.
Which is why so many are having issues. Having to come up with a 30-60k per engineer on top of your expected salary burn rate can have serious impacts to a startup runway.
AFAIUC, the reason for the word blacklist here lies in the fact that some applications have WAFs or similar software that detect malicious requests and since passwords are sent in plaintext to the WAF, they are detected as malicious exploitation attempts, if they imitate SQL injections, although your parent comment did not give any concrete examples.

Eating food is not only a necessity to live, but your body is extremely loathe to ever let you reduce how much you're eating. High calorie food might be a person's only comfort. Maybe they're working long hours and caring for someone and taking time off to exercise, something objectively not fun is not something they can emotional commit to. Maybe they're disabled. Maybe they have zero control over their schedule or even their food.

Like there are so many reasons you could be overweight and a lot of them are psychological like your parents instilling a deep sense of wrong whenever you leave literally anything on your plate.

I don't think these drugs are great long term solutions, but for people who are doing the best they can with what they can, why mock them? It's like mocking someone fat who managed to walk on a trendmill at the gym. It's a start. They can't lose all the weight with just these drugs. They're not miracles. They just give people the ability to see progress for their efforts.
> legislation that has actual fangs, for companies like Equifax. It should be a potential bankruptcy event when you leak most of America's social security numbers

Immutable identifiers should never have this much weight. When your encryption key is compromised, you roll it. When your SSN is leaked, you're doing damage control for the rest of your life. This problem did not begin with Equifax.

It's a 7-digit number that encoded most people's birth region in it until two decades ago and gets asked for by all sorts of randos having anything to do with finance. The problem here is that something so readily shared and easily compromised and impossible to change has this much weight in our identification protocols.

My friend found out the school he sysadmins for was using weak rfid card keys (despite the readers being smart enough to handle higher level encryption) and found he could clone his key and get in places. So basically he pen tested and then they decided to upgrade to the less or non-cloneable card keys. Security for the win.

> Society's answer (at least in America) is basically to say "you could cut out your family if they're destructive" but that goes against one of the strongest aspects of human nature (to have a family).

It’s also not really an answer, because non-chaotic families are a source of added stability. My sister in law lives with us, and my parents live 10 minutes away. So for my kids there’s never any uncertainty—someone will always pick them up from school on time and take them to their after-school activities even if mom and dad get caught up at work unexpectedly. This is very different from my wife’s upbringing, where her parents divorced and had shared custody, so there were missed handoffs, changes to extra-curricular schedules to accommodate different living situations, no consistent place to leave her things, etc.
It is wild to me that you think that, because he has a following that adores his writing, including among professional writers. I'm not trying to persuade you at this point, but I genuinely would like a better understanding of how you think about this stuff.

Patents are why people can get paid for inventing nice things. For sure there's a lot of patent abuse, but in this case it sounds like patents are working as they should, Apple just decided to use the patented technology without bothering to license it.
