> and didn't say that they use a library under GPL.

The situation is exactly that: a GPL library incorporated into an MIT project:

"You wrote a library in Rust and uploaded it to Cargo using the GPL license. Someone grabs it via cargo and uses it in their own project, which is distributed with the MIT license."
I sympathize with that, more than once I've eyed mine's regular-light-switch and thought: "Surely the remaining water on my hands has too much surface-tension to go through any of those tiny gaps in the plastic... Right?"

Yes I have. The apps are completely different. They don't even look remotely the same, the tool bars and media library etc are all different. I have to look for a ton of stuff that I know exactly where it is in Windows.

There is specifically no zoom with the rectangle box that Windows has and many other things. There IS a "Zoom" but it's not the same at all and just modified window sizes. And I can't import my Windows VLC settings like I thought I would.

I have tons of shortcuts, etc already assigned on my Windows end. This pissed me off because I spent a lot of time getting my VLC settings how I want them thinking I would just import them into my macbook.

There's not even a way to import or export MacOS VLC's own settings.

People are building and releasing models. There's active research in the space. I think that's great! The attitude I've seen in open models is "use this if it works for you" vs any attempt to coerce usage of a particular model.

>It's still too much food at the end of the day.

The problem with that is you can reach a point were trying to reduce calories further will only further sabotage your metabolism and makes you feel like shit. Which is why treating the symptom repeatedly fails to work long term.

I’m a 5’11” male who gained weight up to ~220 pounds on ~1800 calories eating a very consistent meal rotation. I now maintain ~190 pounds at ~2100 calories. My problem was likely a combination of my food acting as a chemical signal to gain weight (high in branch chain amino acids, polyunsaturated fats from fatty pork and chicken), work stress, bad sleep, and possibly even chronically elevated blood sugar or thyroid effects from essentially what was an almost carnivore one meal a day sort of diet. My body temperature was hitting lows of 96.3 degrees F. It’s now roughly two degrees higher, which seems small, but feels so much better.

LLM Colosseum: Make LLMs fight in SFIII
The release notes on the databricks console definitely says open source. If you click the gift box you will see:
Try DBRX, our state-of-the-art open source LLM!
Hello guys,

Tired of current boring LLMs benchmark ? I'm sharing with you a fun project built during the Mistral AI SF hackathon.

Using a RL framework, we made LLMs fight against each other in real time in Street Fighter III. You can find the repo here : https://github.com/OpenGenerativeAI/llm-colosseum.

Aside from the fact that it's very funny to see Mistral and others performing Hadouken, we found that it is a great way to benchmark language models. They need to quickly understand their environment and take actions accordingly.

With >400 fights, check out the ELO ranking on the HF space here : https://huggingface.co/spaces/junior-labs/llm-colosseum
Is that the same thing under the hood as Bing? Somehow I’ve found it insufferable compared to the “real” ChatGPT.
from the article:
"Then the students were asked which was more likely: that Linda is a bank teller or that Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement. The vast majority went with bank teller and active feminist, which has to be the less likely choice because the probability of two conditions will always be less than the probability of either one."

Isn't that a bad question to ask, it suggests there are only two possible outcomes, wouldn't a better question include a third option of "not a bank teller and may or may not be a active feminist"?
The general idea is very simple. Tactical vs strategic thinking are two different things and it’s good to be aware of that. I don’t know that that needs to be proven or disproven
Also safety. Uncontained engine failures shouldn’t ever happen (and maybe happen less as technology gets better), but when they do happen, it’s better for them to be under the wing away from the fuselage rather than right in the path of critical control systems.

Since this is a blended wing with no vertical stabilizer, it might be different, but it does still look like there are control surfaces right next to the engines..

Hah :D I was confused why would you change the signature to parse integers when clearly I said it was parsing strings. Turns out you were not calling it "parse integer" but "parse international". I guess that's a point against that name then?
Talk about useless government nonsense. If we need a strategic reserve for Maple Syrup, then why not strategic reserves for everything else?

Cool:

JetZero’s four-year development plan is due to culminate in flight tests of the full-scale demonstrator beginning in the first quarter of 2027. Sized around the capacity of a Boeing 767 with a wingspan close to that of an Airbus A330, the demonstrator will be built and tested in collaboration with Northrop Grumman and its prototyping subsidiary Scaled Composites.

It's an ambitious plan though, given that they have only just been granted licenses for their 1:8 scale model.
I hadn't heard of those, but that's brilliant.

The second one in particular just seems so obvious to me. Options are a case where you either "win or you lose everything", and even more you have to "win by a certain time". Options are kind of fun to gamble with, I've done it once, but the advantage of vanilla shares is that you can wait as long as you need to to "win". It doesn't provoke nearly as many red flags.
If we're being honest here: it's money laundering. It's not an inherently harmful crime except to the IRS. so apparently it's the most heinous thing imaginable (meanwhile, every corporation...).

> Your very link states that it's okay to distribute combinations of GPL-licensed code with code licensed under another, GPL-compatible license (which MIT is).

The same answer in the FAQ (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesCompatMean) contains a caveat mentioned by Tomte's sibling comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39840391): the distribution as a whole must be GPL-licensed.

Suppose that you wrote an MIT-licensed Hello World function (one work) and have a copy of someone else's GPL-licensed FizzBuzz function (a separate work). If you distribute both works together (in the same repository, for example) then the combination (a new work) must be under the same GPL version (or a later version, if the license notice for the FizzBuzz function that function says something like "or any later version" [1].

If you write and then distribute a Fibonacci function which calls someone else's GPL'd add function (or your Fibonacci function body includes code from that GPL'd add function), then your distributed Fibonacci function must be under the same GPL version (or a later one, if the license grant lets you).

Porter Cloud – PaaS you can eject
Hi HN, this is Trevor and Justin from Porter (https://porter.run). We first launched on HN almost 3 years ago with our original product, which deploys your applications to your own AWS, Azure, or GCP account with the simple experience of a PaaS. (original launch post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26993421).

We’re excited to show you something new - we’ve built Porter Cloud (https://porter.run/porter-cloud), a hosted Platform as a Service (PaaS) that you can eject from. It works just like conventional PaaS’s that deploys your apps with a few clicks, but it lets you eject to your own AWS, Azure, or GCP account as you scale.

Since launching Porter in 2021, we helped migrate a lot of companies from a PaaS to AWS, Azure, and GCP. Most of these companies had gotten started on these platforms in the early days to optimize for speed and ease of use, but ultimately had to go through a painful migration to one of the big three cloud providers as they scaled and outgrew the original platform.

Interestingly, we learned that many startups that deploy on a PaaS are fully aware that they’ll have to migrate to the big three clouds at some point. Yet they choose to deploy on a PaaS anyway because outgrowing a cloud platform is a champagne problem when they're focused on getting something off the ground. This, however, becomes a very real problem when you start running into technical constraints and it is difficult to migrate your production environment while serving users.

We’ve built Porter Cloud so you can deploy the earliest versions of the product as quickly as possible, with a peace of mind that you can eject to the tried and true hyperscalers later. When you need to eject, you can follow a few simple steps to migrate your workloads to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud with minimal downtime.

If you’re curious how it works, please drop your questions below. And if you’ve ever dealt with a migration from a PaaS to one of the big three cloud providers, we’d love to hear about your experience in the comments. Looking forward to it!
There was a company a long time ago that had a clever idea. Instead of doing a dividend they would do a stock split followed by a stock buyback. For example a 1.03 to 1 stock split followed by a buyback of 3/103 of the stock.

So if someone had 500 shares the split took then to 515. Then the buyback bought 15 of those shares. Net result: the person had 500 shares, just like before, plus some money from the company.

The idea was that this would be capital gains income to the shareholders rather than ordinary income.

The IRS was not amused. I don't remember the name of the company of if they got away with it, but the result was an addition to the tax code to make sure it would not work in the future. Then some buybacks that clearly were legitimate got classified as dividends under the new rules, so the rules were modified again so that those would be OK. I think there may have been another round or two of tweaks for more edge cases.
Hasn't this been tried several times already, like with the old Moto modular phones, the Fairphone, etc.? I think they all suffer from the same underlying problem: phones are cheap commodities with tremendous economies of scale, primarily dominated by huge companies pumping out millions of them a year.

Personally, I've been happy with the Pixel phones for the last few years. No significant bloat worth mentioning, camera is fine, battery is fine... it just works and doesn't require any excessive pricing or customization. Also has first-party security updates, which seems far more reliable than yet another small startup making custom phones that will probably go out of business in a year or two.

If anything, all I'd want is smaller Pixel to fit my tiny hands better...

Setting SQLite PRAGMAs via Django settings was recently merged. I would expect to see this show up in the next version or two of Django.

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/24018

With the proper PRAGMAs set and modern hardware, you can do 400+ writes/sec with 4 uvicorn workers and ~100 clients connected. The achilles heal is writing lots of large files. That will cause concurrent requests to wait around for the disk to finish writing to the WAL.
