“Source available” is uncool, compared to “open source” or “Free Software”, in substance, not uncool as a term.

The non-ideological value of open source is exactly the commodification that the retreat to source available licensing seeks to end, along with downstream consequences of that commodification.

It is not a problem of terminology.

Maternal mortality goes up significantly with BMI:
“The risk of maternal death increases with BMI; it multiplied by 1.6 in overweight women and more than tripled in pregnant women with severe obesity.”

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-020-00691-4

Black women are significantly more likely to be obese:
“In 2018, African American women were 50 percent more likely to be obese than non-Hispanic white women.”

> What's your plan if you can get that 256GB RAM config? Run some full-fat LLM's on your iGPU?

No, mostly running lots of VMs and databases, which tend to chew up a ton of RAM. And I dabble in a few cryptocurrency projects that can be a bit RAM-heavy and/or sometimes benefit from a fast RAM disk.

I actually downgraded, going from 256GB on X99 to 128GB on AM4, so it'll be nice to get back to 256GB with modern features and CPU performance (without having to spend thousands of dollars on Threadripper or Xeon W).
Genericide
The question here is what motivates individual developers to write big projects and then release them as open source. I think vague dreams of million-dollar deals are part of this for a lot of people. As the developer community becomes more aware of what a grind open source maintainership is, people are already less interested in taking on that responsibility. If we also prevent big money buyouts from happening, I wonder what's left to motivate a future developer to create the next redis.
The arguments about performance and security aren't about whether Apple could open up, but about whether they should. The changes in the EU will answer the latter, but slowly.
In almost every scam there is an element of "grey legal area", where the victim thinks that they are doing something slightly illegal or completely illegal and that's why it is going to pay out so well for them. That is to make sure victims don't tell police or really anybody. "Hey I was putting all my money into this criminal scheme, but instead I got scammed, can you help me?"

That is why we have the old saying: "You can't fool an honest man"
> The telemetry aspect is easily resolved by any enterprise that cares enough about it.

Yeah, this is how, by writing your own driver. NVIDIA sells you turnkey DGX machines. It doesn't give you firmware. You have to be Internet-connected to refresh your various licenses, at some point, which is the moment the telemetry is shared. Google "NVIDIA telemetry."

If you are using NVIDIA on the cloud, well all bets are off. You are using their drivers. Amazon can't force you, in your VM, to install a different driver for the GPU you are using - there's no alternative to the proprietary one. Hence, my theory for why Red Hat could be paid to do this.

Telemetry is something that NVIDIA doesn't budge on for enterprises. You're welcome to see for yourself and start a sales call. I hear they're pretty busy.
Yea I don't think the crop of LLM is useful for this. They let themselves be lead by what's written, and struggle to understand negation even. So when I suspect there is a better solution, I have a hard time getting such an answer, even if asking explicitly for alternatives. I doubt it's just a question of training, they seem to lock themselves on the context. When using Phind, this is somewhat mitigated by mixing in context from the web, which can lead to responses that include alternatives.
We often assume smooth gradients and that valid interpolation is possible in fields. In the atmosphere analogy; the existence of tornadoes kinda shows problems with that: i think that generalizes to other fields as well.
You setup a trust, and you run a main account with automatic transfer to their spending account for day to day.
You can steal many Kia and Hyundai cars on the road with a USB cable[0] that doesn't even involve electronics. It just so happens the physical shape of the USB plug fits well over the ignition tumbler. As the article points out many cars will have a USB A cable in them already and at that point all you need is a rock to break a window (or just open an unlocked door).

Many jurisdictions have laws against carrying theft or burglary tools[1] and needless to say walking around with a USB cable is innocuous enough to be hard to apply these existing laws to. In many instances these are only used to apply an additional charge to suspects that have already been caught for theft or burglary.

> This is confusing, because one possible reading of this is that the procedure works only on Black people.

Thats not a reasonable interpretation.

They're just saying that the recipient is a member of a group with higher rates of kidney disease, and therefore the transpant techniques may particularly (but not solely) benefit that group.

The rest of your comment is unnecessary supposition.
I know someone who, due to ADHD, has trouble paying their bills on time, and managing their money. They found a legal service that handles their basic finances, and gives them their budget for shopping, fun-money, etc.. The service is surprisingly reasonable, something well under $100/month.

While not quite what you asked, a service like this would at least provide an additional barrier, before someone hands over their net worth to a scammer.

The next step after that, often used for elderly people, involves a full power of attorney: someone else is completely responsible for their finances, and hands them either cash or a debit card with a small amount of money that they can use however they want. But that is for extreme cases.
Good luck with suing a ~2 Trillion USD marketcap company. It will drain all your resources to a point of no return.
Not as much in Jetbrains IDEs: it detects the string is HTML and highlighting, formatting, and mode-specific functionality all just work inside the string. In an Angular source file, all the template properties like "ng-if" autocomplete too, not sure if any code completion inside props works though (it doesn't with the AngularJS 1.x I just tested, but that's a different plugin that's probably less capable). Have to be careful about escaping the outermost quotes too if you use them in the template. So not exactly terrible, but still a little bit janky.

Oh 100% I agree. My question/point is about how the US system treats monopolistic practices, and I worry that actually that example works in Apple's favour as they would likely argue that consumers are free to switch to android if they want cheaper apps.
While interchangeable, standardized parts are significant, they are unnecessary if we make and repair our own stuff out of materials sourced from the land and water, and said stuff includes: canoes, paddles, baskets, bedding, shelter (even large houses for several families), hand tools (including weapons), and clothing, off the top. These "old ways" will keep us going on Earth awhile yet, and not just scudding along the bottom, but thriving, together.

I was considering unsubscribing since I only need sync and use neovim instead of the desktop app. Will happily switch to the $4/mo plan instead to keep supporting this software. Still don’t appreciate how it’s closed source, but love the relative openness of obsidian and the fact that they are adding a lower price point
Cool. So, where you getting that labor you smothered out for shareholder value all those years ago? I both hate this but support this. I hate it because no one will learn their lesson and Chicago economics will go on being a theory from autists imposed on the rest of us with constant “externality” costs. Supportive because any fool not indoctrinated into the Chicago school could have seen what happens on a long enough timeline in such a fragile situation and this technology will make or break a nation in the current zeitgeist.
That's pretty cool, we'd often cross paths with tug boats tasked with moving container ships while sailing out on SF bay and their dual exhaust pipes are ridiculously huge relative to the size of the vessels. It's like a floating giant diesel engine with a helm+rudder attached.

I look forward to the era of day sails without the nauseating stink of diesel/bunker oil exhaust streams, probably not in this lifetime though.

Some linters and formatters are effectively compilers already, so that doesn’t seem completely implausible in itself. Finding canonical representations of common coding patterns so you can quickly and reliably determine that they are equivalent is a different question, though.

The thing with a Pig Butchering scam is it’s not the drive-by gift-card/bitcoin Kitboga variety you’re thinking of. Asian organized crime groups build entire fake trading platforms and convince otherwise well adjusted healthy people to set up their own accounts and dabble with investing their own money. The platform is fake and the money is gone as soon as you move money to it. But you don’t know until you try to withdraw.
Financial grooming is a better name anyway. Maybe not the best, but I assumed a pig butchering scam had something to do with pigs or butchery, like maybe selling other meats as pork or pork as other meats, or selling products sourced from pigs as vegan.

Financial grooming has money right in the name. And there's other victim grooming patterns, so I wouldn't think 'financial grooming scam' is something to do with recombing a president's hair.
This looks like the sort of bug I'd write back when I used mutexes to write I/O routines. These days, I'd use a lock-free state machine to encode something like this:

NOT_IN_CACHE -> READING -> IN_CACHE

(the real system would need states for cache eviction, and possibly page mutation).

Readers that encounter the READING state would insert a completion handler into a queue, and readers transitioning out of the READING state would wake up all the completion handlers in the queue.

I've been working on an open source library and simple (manual) proof system that makes it easy to verify that the queue manipulation and the state machine manipulation are atomic with respect to each other:

https://docs.rs/atomic-try-update/0.0.2/atomic_try_update/

The higher level invariants are fairly obvious once you show that the interlocks are correct, and showing the interlocks are correct is just a matter of a quick skim of the function bodies that implement the interlocks for a given data type.

I've been looking for good write ups of these techniques, but haven't found any.
This case has very little overlap with the Epic suite other than one of the defendants being the same.

I’m also curious what illegal confidential behaviour you believe was found in the Epic case? The one count that the judge found in favour of Epic didn’t require any form of discovery as it was based on public policy.
Google could use another pass to put a stop to their aggressive cross-promotion of Chrome, which is difficult if not impossible to compete with given how many Google products people use on a daily basis. Every time I visit Google, YouTube, etc with a fresh non-Chrome browser profile there’s a barrage of, “Download Chrome!” popups to dismiss, not to mention how Google iOS apps use link taps as opportunities to promote Chrome or all the random third party Windows software that has Chrome bundled with it.

70% of security vulnerabilities in code are memory safety issues. However the vast majority of in then wild attacks were not against security vulnerabilities but against people. No technology can protect you from someone giving out the secret keys to the attacker.
That used to be my stance as well, but the App Store has gotten so bad in recent years. These days if there’s an app I want to install, it’s much easier to find the app store link on the developers page than to search in the App Store. At this point the “user experience” argument isn’t really there beyond easy payments and subscription management.

If Apple's iPhone "monopoly" is illegal then sue Google for continuing to make Android worse. That's why I switched to iPhone and have no desire to switch back.

Apple's crime here is they made a good product and continued to iterate on it, while Google has churned for years, reinventing and rebranding every app, service, and product multiple times a year and only making them worse so POs can get promotions.
Why would anybody with above-median ability to acquire resources NOT want to live in a society where equal ability always means equal opportunity??
I've heard all arguments against Apple's practices, and to me, they all basically come down to 'it's unfair that so many people like to live inside the Apple walled garden'. When it comes to the law, Apple is not a monopoly. When it comes to competition on the market, Apple is competing with Android and Windows, and the vast majority of the world's middle and upper class willingly choose Apple products. Even if you literally tried to block people from buying Apple products, people will find a way. So, obviously, Apple customers are having a great time in the Apple warden garden and made Apple a $3T company. But for some reason, other companies and regulators feel like Apple and its customers are having too much fun and need to call the cops on their party.

Apple is no different than Google search. Even if you drowned people in search choice popups, 99% of the time people choose Google. Regulators say Google is doing something nefarious when in reality, their product is loved by billions of people. In these situations, like Apple products and Google search, we need to realize that both companies have won the game in certain markets they operate because they made products that people really enjoy using.

It's also commonly used in 3D printing, i.e. PLA.

PLA is stable enough in normal circumstances -- you need specific equipment to make it degrade -- but once broken down to microplastics it doesn't last long. Otherwise it's nearly an ideal plastic for printing; brittle, but strong and incredibly easy to print. With some additives you can get rid of the brittleness, though I'm not sure how those would degrade.

I see no reason you couldn't make plastic straws from PLA. Clothing might not last as long, but plastic clothing never lasts that long in any case; I prefer cotton.
Quite similar experience, the communities for hobbies I used to check out almost daily are quite dead, they've become mostly a gear-showoff or beginner questions forum, the real content in longer form that some old posters used to create is mostly gone.

My own activity dropped like a rock after the API changes killed Apollo, the mobile client I used (and before that reddit had already acqui-killed a previous one Alien Blue). I simply check it out of habit, and mostly for news, don't have much of the joy I had when I had started accessing it back in 2009.

Probably it's just the natural cycle of profit-driven social media getting swallowed by Eternal Septembers after the initial batches of users posting interesting content and making the platform cool leave the place when the platform inevitably becomes user-hostile.
I read a quote once that said “Simple bacteria can divide about every 20 minutes and have many hundreds of different proteins, each containing 20 types of amino acids arranged in chains that might be several hundred long. For bacteria to evolve by beneficial mutations one at a time would take much, much longer than three or four billion years, the time that many scientists believe life has existed on earth.” I haven't performed the math to back up the quote. As well would it change the time required if the bacteria mutate in parallel rather than in series?

If we ever crack how to make that normie-accessible, the the game is flipped upside down.

Finding unexpected connections is something we’ve known LLMs are good at for ages. Connecting things you didn’t even know are connected is like “selling LLM business to business 101”. It’s the first line of a sales pitch dude.

And that’s still beside the point that the properties that emerge can greatly differ just by changing the ordering of your training.

Again, we see this on NNs training to play games. The strategies that emerge are completely unexpected, and when you train a NN multiple times, often differ greatly, or slightly.

Sometimes these lawsuits are filed not strictly for legal reasons but to put pressure on companies, or as political payback to certain special interest groups (election year). Even if the case is eventually thrown out of court it may succeed in shifting Apple's behavior.
I’m fine with more app stores, let others compete, and ideally compete on review security.
Every previous ceasefire resolutions has called for this. Hamas has been in favor of all of them. The US has vetoed all of them.

If Apple wanted to, they could drag this out for a decade. In the end, there are probably some details of what they've done with Imessage or the store that you could convince a jury are "unfair."

> Now you're talking about highways. People don't typically drive at highway speeds on city streets.

That was an illustrative example. Tires typically overtakes engine noise at about 25mph. That's city street speeds. (In most car-dependent cities 40-50 is also typical city street speed.) Again, this is why tires are the majority of car noise. When you hear a car pass by on a non-highway road, you're mostly hearing tires.

You can see a real-time display of aircraft that have possible GNSS interference at https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?badgps

If you look at that for a few seconds, you'll see that it's almost entirely civilian passenger aircraft that are not making erratic movements, and that are near conflict zones.

Detecting GPS jamming with planes actually works a lot better than from a fixed terrestrial object, because 1. They have greater sensor range, 2. There are lots of them, 3. They move and cover lots of area, 4. they cover e.g. parts of the Black Sea where it would be more difficult to put a ground-based sensor.
