I think the fair use argument levied is fine. They are talking about using Whisper to transcribe videos and then train the model on that. Both fair use and derivative works are satisfied there. That fulfills the actual law.

The terms of service though? who cares? deactivate their google account then, they can still access the videos unauthenticated.

Personally I’ve made so much money off of AI generated works that would not be protected by copyright at all, that I think creators and owners of copyrighted works should re-evaluate their relationship with copyright. It seems more like copyright gives a sense of pride and accomplishment while almost no work is being monetized by its copyright or license alone.

This is very interesting, I had a similar feeling about Claude performing much worse than GPT-4.
Granted, I didn't put much work into optimizing the prompts, but then again, the prompts were certainly not GPT-optimized or specific either. The problems were severe, such as it choosing the wrong side of the conversation, hallucinating weird stuff plus repeating part of the prompt, all in the same message

It's not the same.

It's been a while, so I'm sure to get things wrong, but you basically had different package groups you could set up. So a service would have its group that it could update, test, and deploy with at once.

But like if I produced a package, and another team depended on it, there was no guarantee that the group I ran in CI had versions in common with the group that they deployed.

I also remember some weirdness just within one package, like maybe your PR build was based on your local group setup and not anything "official".

The coolest thing about it is that you could make a PR against multiple repos at the same time, even if one depended on the other. Like you could add a function to a library in one repo and call it from another repo in one PR.
you got me curious.

"wind stability" is the given reason:

and it is a standard gauge, "Indian gauge", just not the standard gauge. which keeps it free from freight trains and other mixed traffic, which helps with punctuality.

also if they wanted to change that they could introduce a dual gauge track, like the Stuttgart area did for their mixed tram/underground

This clown unilayerally decides to push hate speech, extremist propaganda and wild conspiracy theories onto the world, and then has the gall to post this blend of statements playing helpless innocent victim when his company is reaping what he sows.
BTW the Caltrain corridor is SP's corridor (Standard and Pacific was Leland Stanford's gold mine) which SP maintains to run the occasional freight train and also gets paid to run caltrain on it.

I haven't been following the whole electrification effort (except seeing it happen): will S&P still run diesel freight on those tracks?

When it's a crescent shape, it's also more crisp in one direction. So if you hold up a square and make a shadow on the ground, two sides are sharp, two sides are blurry. Or if you look at your own shadow, it's a mix of sharp and blurry edges, which looks unusual.

This is definitely better than some of the others out there. I threw together some comparisons here at 7kb/s for mp3/opus/aac: https://non.io/TSAC-Comparisons

Happy to add other comparisons if others want any.

Overall, it's FAR better at these lower bit rates, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily good. One issue I see off the bat is that volume is fairly inconsistent in the output for TSAC, which makes stereo in particular quite hard to listen to with the volume "flickering" in each channel independently.

First time hearing about this keyboard layout. I wonder how much marginal efficiency there is to be gained.

My hands' physical travels reduced by a lot ever since I learned vim. But I don't think optimizing fingers' travel would give as much boost in overall speed. On the other hand, though, you can argue that fingers travel between keys a lot more often than between keyboard and mouse.

What's everyone's experience? Was it worth it for you learning another layout?

It's not quite that simple because you are spending "other people's money".

Say I own a small business. I can make a donation to anything i like because the only person who might complain is me. Ultimately I am donating my own money.

If I work at a large company, all the money belongs to other people. Naturally I need to spend money to get stuff done, I'm given a budget and some rules framework.

To avoid corruption, theft and embezzlement, that set of rules has balances. People who audit my spending etc.

Imagine they set a rule saying I can spend $100k on "random open source". Cool, my wife makes an Open Source flappy birds clone. 100k to her.

Not cool, it must be something we use. Cool. My wife has forked a text editor (say emacs), made a couple spelling changes, and I've mandated that as our one-true-editor. 100k to her.

You get the picture. Donations are indistinguishable from corruption.

As a company what I want is for you to -sell- me something I can justify. Not just "the same thing under a different license" which spawns the "why aren't we using the free one" conversation, but some feature or benefit I can point to. We're spending 100k, but we got the following economic benefit from that.

So to answer your question. Companies can't "give", they can only "buy". (For any significant amount.) If you want corporate money, have a product to sell, and a proper process (invoicing etc) to process sales.
Hey, I think I read that back in high school! Guess I'm a plagiarist.

More recently I've been reading some pre-Socratic excerpts with friends, and some Augustine—On Free Choice of the Will and De Musica—on my own. De Musica I'm working through a second time, this time in the original language. I've never been more motivated to become fluent in Latin in my life.
That’s incredible, especially the second one that kind of creates a new song. I guess that’s the danger when it’s based on a generative model.
I think you are onto something. Study mathematical objects and relations among these objects, without bringing in Categoricity. That's what Structuralism in Philosophy of Sciences is: "In the philosophy of science, structuralism[α] (also known as scientific structuralism or as the structuralistic theory-concept) asserts that all aspects of reality are best understood in terms of empirical scientific constructs of entities and their relations, rather than in terms of concrete entities in themselves" [1]

Anything I install in /usr/local is stuff is going to be something I really need, and for which there isn't a distro package. It stays for the life of the system.

If I wanted to install something into /usr/local that would be suspected of needing removal later, I'd build it with /usr/local as a prefix, but install it in a temporary directory, then make a tarball package out of that to keep track of the file list. That could be used to remove it. I could trivially generate an uninstall script by using find in the package directory to get a list of relative paths; converting each to a rm command. The uninstall script would be put into /usr/local and run from there.
If you're ever looking at tea shops that sell specialty Japanese teas you can find this style of tea, made from plants grown from seed pollinated by other nearby bushes as opposed to cuttings from a known cultivar, it's refered to as zairai or 在来.

They are often interesting and much more "rough" teas with varying but generally mellow flavors and often processed to contain more hard materials like stems and veins as they would have been when it was still hand rolled. It definitely helps one imagine how tea must have been in those eras, though they still simmered the leaves with the water until the 1700s
hmm I’ve made a lot there too

but I would say worrying about protecting that right and “doing it right” is more work than actually having a license agreement or court filing, both of which are rare

It is liberating to be told “this can’t have copyright” and make enough money from entertaining the humans, who cares if it gets replicated and why didnt they just AI generate their own thing

Ask HN: Cryptography technique to hide monotonically increasing GUIDs
Consider a scenario where a service uses a GUID as an element index and there is a hard requirement for it to be monotonically increasing, but there is also a requirement that this order should not be leaked to clients. Is there any specific cryptographical technique that was designed to hide from clients the relative order of each pair of these GUIDs and still allow services to recover that order?

We're all in it together, this won't last forever.

And yeah! Honestly it took a while for me to propose because we were having financial difficulties at the time, too, and I wanted to do things right.

Why would you need to reclaim VAT? If you are a business and have a VAT ID, the seller should invoice you with 0% if it's a cross border sale and you need to report it to your government (reverse charge).

I didn't ask an abstract question. I'm asking specifically: what can you accomplish with designs like this that you can't accomplish with TLS and serverside encryption? When you think about that, work out what the threat model is. Yes: with serverside encryption, the server briefly sees plaintext, or can record keys. But with clientside Javascript encryption, the server can exfiltrate keys and recover the same data. The question is specific: what's the advantage, in what threat model?
Coming back to this having spent a wonderful day outdoors.

Okay, writing this in Python because a) it's been a while since I wrote Haskell, b) it will let other readers read the code more easily, and c) Python clearly denotes what a partial is by having a `partial` function:

from inspect import signature
from functools import partial

def curry(f, parameters=None):
if parameters is None:
parameters = list(signature(f).parameters.keys())

if len(parameters) == 0:
return f

head = parameters[0]
tail = parameters[1:]

# I draw your attention to this line
return lambda p: curry(partial(f, **{head: p}), tail)

def divide(a, b, c):
return a / b / c

curried_divide = curry(divide)

# prints "3"
print(curried_divide(30)(5)(2)())

So... curry can be implemented in terms of partial applications, no?

> one can't help but think that the samples are already in the decoder itself

In a certain sense, maybe they are. Or more accurately, small fragments of samples, and just how to mix them together, is what is transmitted. It reminds me of pre-generated dictionaries with classic LZ compression. If an algorithm is going to work on mostly English text, then it might make sense to include an English dictionary with the algorithm. Brotli does this [Wikipedia]:

> Unlike most general-purpose compression algorithms, Brotli uses a predefined dictionary, roughly 120 KiB in size, in addition to the dynamically populated ("sliding window") dictionary. The predefined dictionary contains over 13000 common words, phrases and other substrings derived from a large corpus of text and HTML documents
I think ctrl-x, ctrl-c, and ctrl-v should have never existed. So difficult to press, for such common operations! While we still have prominent keys for rarely used functions, such as capslock, insert, etc.

This service is straight up lying when it says that Remote Code Push is implemented as per Apple's guidelines. Apple expressly prohibits Remote Code Push and if your app is found doing this, it can be banned by Apple.

Here is the guideline from Apple for the same:

2.5.2: Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps. Educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code provided that such code is not used for other purposes. Such apps must make the source code provided by the app completely viewable and editable by the user.

How might software development have unfolded if CPU speeds were 20x slower?
I was pondering how internet latency seems to be just barely sufficient for a decent fast-paced online multiplayer gaming experience. If human cognition were say, 20x faster relative to the speed of light, we'd be limited to playing many games only with players from the same city.
More significantly, single-threaded compute performance relative to human cognition would effectively be limited to the equivalent of 300 MHz (6 GHz / 20), which I suspect makes it a challenge to run even barebones versions of many modern games.

This led me to wondering how software development would have progressed if CPU clock speeds were effectively 20x slower.

Might the overall greater pressure for performance have kept us writing lower-level code with more bugs while shipping less features? Or could it actually be that having all the free compute to throw around has comparatively gotten us into trouble, because we've been able to just rapidly prototype and eschew more formal methods and professionalization?
don't disagree there
Or, to put it another way, because when you do that it is, by definition, no longer open source.

To be clear, this model exists, and is adopted by lots of startups and OSS companies when they decide revenue is necessary. But at that point they are no longer OSS and typically their very customer base, who have been selected because they care about OSS defect.

A golf club attracts members who want to play golf. Tennis is more profitable so they bulldoze the golf course and build tennis courts. Don't expect the current members, who were there to play golf to hang around.

If you are starting a business I encourage you to figure out the revenue model first, not as an afterthought. Hint "getting lots of users" is not a revenue model.

The only time I've used RF-blocking gear for privacy or security was when I had a little Faraday pouch for my old flip phone a million years ago[0].

It was nice-enough case for my phone and it primarily kept the phone from getting beat up by other pocket-stuff that would happen in a workday. But it also had two compartments: One was shielded all around by conductive fabric and this made a fairly good Faraday cage, and for the other one layer of that conductive fabric would be pushed aside so that the Faraday cage was incomplete (and thus largely non-functional).

It gave me a choice, and that choice worked well.

I think I paid $3 for it back in the day from DealExtreme (which was a lot like Temu is today, except shipping normally took months instead of days or weeks).

Is choice not a thing in modern RFID-blocking wallets?

[0: There was a time when my company felt it was useful to track people with their company-provided cell phones. I didn't mind that during the workday, so much, but we were also encouraged to use these as our personal phones if we chose to, and strongly encouraged to keep them with us 24/7 so we would be reachable.

And I didn't mind being reachable most or all of the time and I certainly enjoyed not having my own cell phone bill back then, but I did not like being tracked 24/7: Sometimes, I wanted to do my own private shit on my own time without being snooped on.

I could tell the tracking app to exit, and that did work, but doing so sent a notification to my completely stupid, abusive manager -- who would variously either call to ask why I did that, or just silently turn it back on remotely (which the system permitted).

And I did not (and do not) think that, as a professional, I needed to excuse my choice to have privacy at any given time. (Given my own role in the company I had access to this tracking data as well, but I'm not the abusive type.)

So, the solution was simple: Normally, the phone was in the non-shielded part of the case. And when I dropped it into the completely-surrounded Faraday portion instead, the phone just simply dropped off and silently stopped providing updates.

This worked 100%, and while I refer to them as separate compartments to aid in functional clarity, the design of this case didn't really take up any more space than any other phone-case would have.]
Having a business in Europe is significantly more complicated than in the US with lots of rules to follow. France seems to be especially strict if your business expenses need to be on a separate accout, that isn't the case in other EU countries. However, it's worth noting that with a VAT ID the ticket also becomes cheaper because the 20% VAT for France doesn't get added.
