Relevance and impact aside, if you publish something to the internet on a site with no access restriction in place, I don't know how you can keep a straight face while claiming some sort of moral right to the content. It's the equivalent of broadcasting it over radio, or printing and delivering it straight to the doorsteps of millions of random individuals. Methinks you doth protest too much, or something.

There are ways of copyrighting data, and establishing ownership of intellectual property. Your tumblr fanfic, youtube comments, or HN discussions are not legitimate copyright avenues. Stuff you post to legally scrapeable websites are fair game for fair use.

I can do anything I want in private to any data I collect. I could create an awesome HN LLM on the scraped datasets, and use it privately to my hearts content. I can even set up an API to that LLM that generates content, and, given recent rulings, even if i had all the written copyrighted data in the world, as long as I was making good faith efforts to ensure copyright was being respected and works weren't being recreated verbatim, then I could even use that model commercially. I just couldn't sell it to other people, or distribute it, without entering a different legal regime.

I can collect any data I want from public facing websites.

That's how the internet works; it's how it was designed. There are authentication mechanisms, network configurations, and a myriad other access control schemes you can implement to prevent public access. If you post to sites without those mechanisms, you're tacitly agreeing to give up any plausible claims of protection against a wide array of fair uses well established by precedent cases at this point. If you don't prevent public access, and you've got a domain name on a server, you're tacitly inviting the world to come download whatever it is you have on your server. This is a social good. This is what we want when we participate in the internet.

Insisting on some sort of vague entitlement as to how "your" data gets used completely bypasses the fact that anything you consider to be misused in OpenWebText2 fundamentally stems from the fact that you posted the content to a publicly visible website and gave up any say in what happens thereafter. It was scraped fair and square.

Don't complain that you didn't know the rules, or that life isn't fair.

It's not even clear that terms of service or those little popups on public websites have any legal relevance. If your website is open to the public, then it's fair game. If you post content to a public website, then that content's fair game.
This is more evidence that the man wants to gain more than his fair share of power and ofcourse the money. Working with such people is no fun as they do not respect boundaries of power and responsibility.

It is baffling to see Ilya and Murati did a U turn, perhaps they didn’t want him fired and hoped they could change him, such people are unlikely to change their behavaior, its an innate trait that cant be “trained out”.

The rest of the employees probably don’t work with him close enough to know the kind of person he is, plus the money factor!

That quickly changes when one has loved ones or assets inside the Fascist country. This has been done to many dual citizenship nationals.

Anyone originally from a country controlled by a tyrannical system should most definitely seize all connections to it otherwise they are opening themselves up to being a liability such as what OP is saying.

And this is coming from one of those people.
they have tire pressure sensors so I'm guessing that the pilot would get an alert that the tire pressure info for that tire disappeared

The point about context switching being costly is definitely something that the general public doesn't get.

If you ask most people whether they can multitask, they will proudly say yes.

Bosses don't care about deep work either. I have been in jobs where they interrupted me every half an hour. I remember switching between 4 or more tasks trying to get anything done. It would all just get muddled in my head making it hard to keep track of what I was doing.

Question about technical side hustle
I'm really good at blocking ads, telemetry, and other dreck using a variety of tools, like Raspberry Pis, bespoke filters, etc.
What are your thoughts on turning this into a side hustle for extra cash? Setting things up, educating users on how to get clean YouTube streams, alternatives to YouTube using similar APIs, setting up DNS, etc?
One of the most common mistakes I see managers make is to enact a rule affecting employees without consulting them first, and then afterwards, they ask "How is this? Why doesn't this work? How do we improve it?"

Shoot first and ask questions later as a strategy.
> This cannot be known until it is litigated. Fair Use is not something you can unilaterally declare and have it be so.

Correct, but what isn't clear here is their rationale for why they think they're covered by fair use. Does anybody have that information?

I'm not saying their interpretation is correct, but seems to be germane to this discussion. The parent comment seems to assume none of this has been litigated yet, which might also be true. Or not.
Could you link the vote you mentioned?

AFAIR Poland blocked it several times, including in 2015 and 2021. I googled a bit and couldn't see any EU vote in which Poland supported Nord Stream 2.

Copyright lasts for that period, but it doesn't continue to belong to the dead person.
It does not matter, because the signal was never there or meant to be there to begin with. CVEs solve a problem of multiple researchers and developers talking past each other about the same vulnerability (or vulnerable subsystem or line of code). It has never been a reliable enumeration of vulnerabilities. Organizations triaging CVEs line-by-line are abusing the system. The system should not bend itself to accommodate that abuse; that just harms everybody else who isn't abusing it.
If I live within two miles of an airport, directly on the flight path, what are the odds of my house being damaged by a plane versus burning down by other causes, damaged by a falling tree, struck by lightning, etc. I don’t know, but am certain it’s negligible comparatively.
It's that time of the year again.

Newport (a relentless marketer, a bit like Tim Ferris) has been on a contract to churn out these filler "books" based on the same bloody theme for years. I've been harping on it since 2019[1].

As I noted here[2], "for a guy advocating 'minimalism', he churns out [far] too much needless crap. The irony seems definitely lost on him."

More comments on this tiring topic here[3]. Stop wasting your money buying his crap. What's the alternative? Again, as I've noted in the past[3]:

"The alternative to the empty books [...] is to read the original classics, and the actual scholars who did the work (Csikszentmihalyi, Kahneman, Richard Thaler, Timothy Wilson and many others)."

Edit: You can also get far more value by reading one of Plato's dialogues from 2000 years ago, instead. (Start with the excellent "Five Dialogues" selected by Hackett Classics.)

Why worry so much about the world building . In literature, the plot and character development is way more important than the believability or accuracy of the world they inhabit. Is this for computer games or movies? If so, then accuracy matters more.
Fair use is a defense to infringement. Do not start your copyright argument by admitting you infringed.
They did generally put airports out in the middle of the sticks . . . and then stuff grew up around them.
Somehow the "anti-DEI" people really latched on to Boeing. Not just Boeing themselves but also pilots for some reason... maybe spurred on by the fact that the pilots of the Alaska flight were both women? Not that the pilots did anything wrong in that incident, of course.

I can't really tell if the fact that Elon's been very active in this... let's call it "discourse," is a cause or symptom of it being so oddly widespread. Probably both: a vicious circle.
I was like WAIT that sounds REALLY familiar :D

Non-client area also applies to controls (non-top-level windows) as well. For example, the border on a text box is part of the nonclient area of that window.
Why did the plane go all the way to LAX rather than landing back at SFO? It clearly seemed to be considered serious since there were emergency vehicles by the runway as a precaution. Is it easier to divert to LAX rather than land back at SFO in this situation?

Oh weird, because I biked to my local coffee shop this afternoon to work on my computer. On the way, I stopped at a pharmacy to pick up a prescription, and then the local bakery to pick up a loaf of bread. After I'm done working, I plan to stop at the bike shop and the grocery store on my way home. There's no alcohol or ice cream on the errands list, but that's not a bad idea.

And today is a Thursday even!

It's a well-known fact.

You may also observe how prisons are full of young people. Brains that are still developing are far more likely to make really stupid decisions without regard for consequences.

If I were to pick qualities for a driver, and had to choose between 'Makes good decisions' versus 'Faster reflexes', I'd pick the former any day.

Note that we don't let 12 year-olds drive. We have arbitrary age cutoffs that have nothing to do with quantifiable capability.
Could have been a really serious accident, luckily no injuries.

Correct.

Capitalism, by definition, has no conscience.

Regulation provides the layer (sometimes facade) of moral and ethical control.

The two forces are generally opposed, but, hopefully, balance out to keep our society and environment tenable.

However, window.location calls it "hash". (Also, the query string is "search". I wonder why Netscape named them this way...)
The guy died in 1968. He slowly released the material among the course of 44 years; after his death, many of these documents remain unreleased. Kind of a weird behavior for somebody acting under the premise that "it was important for the world to read it".

He then left everything in hands of his secretary, who proceeded to, among other things:

* Sell plenty of Kafka's letters and postcards to private entities.

* Attempting to smuggle (out) some manuscripts without filing photocopies to the Archives of the National Library of Israel, which is required by law and is also, again, kind of a weird behavior for somebody acting under the premise that "it was important for the world to read it".

* Auctioned an original manuscript of The Trial, fetching about 2 million USD.

I couldn't find evidence of one single piece of material that was willingly donated to a museum or similar entity by either Max Brod or Esther Hoffe during the 83 years (!) they had it under their possession.

Even squinting very very very hard at the situation, it's hard for me to not see "the obvious economic reasons attached to it".

How surprising that hobbyist act like hobbyist. When real money gets involved, all of sudden inconvenient things no longer are "critical" so no documentation is needed for them. What a coincidence...
The giant typos in "assistant" throughout the page give this such an unprofessional feel.
Newport (a relentless marketer, a bit like Tim Ferris) has been on a contract to churn out these filler "books" based on the same bloody theme for years. I've been saying this since 2019[1].

Like Ryan Holiday, Robert Greene, or Seth Godin. These people make a lucrative career re-spinning and re-hashing the same vague advice. They occupy a middle ground between science, journalism, and self-help.
You need a data centre if you want to run the bleeding edge SOTA models but the weights of these models are fixed which means it should be possible to instantiate them in hardware and once you have a model smart enough to do most things you’d be crazy not to build a factory to churn out little boxes that you can connect to literally anything to give it a natural language interface and useful levels of intelligence. Mark my words: your doorbell will have an LLM in it in less than 10 years.
Most definitely not if you have them destroyed like T.P.

What was even your point about "someone's curated image"? Was that supposed to go somewhere or are you planning to impart pieces of your wisdom one statement at a time, hoping people will extrapolate some sort of argument in the most charitable manner?

I really cannot be bothered, especially since it seems like we're just splitting hairs here and arguing about definitions.
It was a lot better than the alternatives at the time, which were CVS and SCCS.. :)
And so shoving ads in front of them will cease to be how advertising gets done.

No there would have been some big differences. The first is that threads would have a kernel representation unlike in Linux where the kernel just knows about processes. This mistake caries over to tools like strace that grab one thread by default because they don't know the others.

Secondly with integrated user space and kernel packaging and distribution would not be a necessity. That would change a lot of things.

Microsoft had taken the TCP implementation from BSD for Windows as shown in the copyright notice. The relationship would be different.

We would not have alternate libcs. Containerization would be built around slightly more heavyweight jails which look like real systems as more software would be assuming that environment.

With systemd there is a real need, but I would hope the solution is better.
That's a completely different thread - all the more reason to expand NATO before this happens. Europe needs to learn to swim on its own.
Yeah, at the time of writing this comment it feels like if you want to easily convince me that your local LLM is good enough, just do a side by side comparison of prompts with your LLM vs GPT4. It doesn’t even have to be better. It just has to be kind of in the same ballpark
If you don't have to land with a full load of fuel it's better not to.

And there was no reason to think that the landing would go wrong, because the tires are redundant.
Impressive that he waited until the second paragraph to talk about his own products.
I think Gabriel Garcia Marquez would have been fully on board with that thinking.

The idea behind "security thorough obscurity" is that even if the adversary knows everything about your setup *except the secret keys*, you should be secure. Security through obscurity is any method of protection other than the secret key, like for example:
* serving ssh on a random high port
* using a custom secret encryption algorithm
* hosting an unauthenticated service on a secret subdomain in hope nobody will find out
* or with a long directory name

Some security thorough obscurity is OK (for example high ports or port knocking help buy time when protecting from a zeroday on the service). It's just that relying only on the security thorough obscurity is bad.

In this case, I wouldn't call URLs with embedded key security through obscurity, just a poor key management.
> The tightening labour market has left US workers with fewer options than just years earlier.

I thought a tight labor market was where demand for labor was higher than supply whereas a slack labor market had supply of labor than demand. This sounds like a slackening of the labor market, not a tightening.

Idea is that historians don’t deal with recently deceased and they are not digging into their close relatives or friends.

I do wish my close ones to obey my will. I don’t care about some random person 50 years later after I die.

I will also obey the will of my relatives and close ones to show that I respect the will so when it is my turn to go away others will treat me as I treated others.
I mean,the plane still worked. Props to Boeing for making flying jalopies that fall apart, but not fatally.

That is capitalism at work! You want planes with wheels that don't fall off? Buy an Airbus built by those communist Belgians. Just be prepared for your lower stock yields.

The difference is that in 1948, the other side couldn't do anything about it even if it wanted to.

The other difference is that literally everything has changed in the past 76 years. But sure, maybe if we dig up Truman, Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao, and Churchill, and put them and their cabinets back in charge, it might work out.
i assume by 'windows' you mean 'microsoft windows', because otherwise your comment makes no sense

smalltalk has worked this way since at least 01976, but the word they used instead of 'window' was 'view'. see for example steve burbeck's 01992 'how to use model-view-controller' which is describing smalltalk-80 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/238719652_Applicati...

> Views are designed to be nested. Most windows in fact involve at least two views, one nested inside the
other. The outermost view, known as the topView is an instance of StandardSystemView or one of its
subClasses. The StandardSystemView manages the familiar label tab of its window. Its associated
controller, which is an instance of StandardSystemController, manages the familiar moving, framing,
collapsing, and closing operations available for top level windows. Inside a topView are one or more
subViews and their associated controllers which manage the control options available in those views.
The familiar workspace for example has a StandardSystemView as a topView, and a StringHolderView
as its single subView. A subView may, in turn, have additional subViews although this is not required in
most applications.

so it's not a peculiarity of x-windows; it's how windows/icon/menu/pointer guis have been built since the beginning. (i'd say 'it's how guis have been built since the beginning' but of course sketchpad, grail, nls/augment, and genesys didn't work this way, and they were certainly graphical user interfaces, even if very different in style.)
Disturbing but not surprising. CyberSec is often a work of passion, and thus highly exploitable.
Why do we keep talking about the kind of jobs that put signs in the window. Are those good jobs?
> This seems weird to me because they mainly just argue that abusing kids is bad, which I think is an extremely uncontroversial opinion.

This shouldn't be a controversial opinion, but it is. Corporal punishment is still legal [0], and is now being reintroduced in some schooling systems in the US [1]. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" are still common phrases in use, despite this research.

Particularly, mental illness research looking at genetic factors [2] [3], can cause people to downplay trauma-related mental illness, leading to things like "they were weak; other people can survive this", or my favorite "I went through that and I was fine, what's your problem" (N=1, but this last I heard _while someone was discussing their SA experience_).

We unfortunately need research like this and the linked below to provide common ground for the discussions needed to prevent abuse.

Makes sense. No action until the user clicks something on the page. One extra step but better than having “helpful bots” wreak havoc.

> to store a secret in the browser […] is doing a browser fingerprint match

I get the idea but I really dislike this. Assuming the user will use the same device or browser is an anti-pattern that causes problems with people especially while crossing the mobile-desktop boundary. Generally any web functionality shouldn’t be browser dependent. Especially hidden state like that..
There's a lot of people who enjoy worldbuilding/creating a setting more then storytelling.

Also a lot of worldbuilding gets judged based on how fleshed out or "realistic" it is which can cause a lot of stress if you feel like you need to make something that matches the complexity of real life.
Let's continue your reductive line of thinking. If the only purpose is to ensure that developers are talking about the same issue, then why does the kernel need need CVEs at all? Their existing bug tracking mechanisms should be entirely adequate, no?
“due to high cost of living” would be shorter than the current “cuz..." and convey the same information. Once you can't quote the full original title, you are rewriting to compress while preserving meaning, just dropping words and using misspellings that are shorter and phonetic approximations may not be the best way to do that.
