This is such a tectonic shift for what the concept of media even means that any assumptions are on uncertain ground.

The courts could find that it isn't possible to sign away these rights. There are many other rights that the law does not permit to be signed away for much more tame reasons than "enables further creations of 'your' work (or in the case of actors, literally 'you') not only without your actual involvement, but even long after your death". I would expect that it at least comes with a time limit. "Artists can sign a license to use these rights but only until their death + 10 years, after that the licensee can't use anything trained on their work. Artists also have an unrevokable right to cancel the license at any time with 90 day notice." might be one possible outcome.

Many observations of the sun's corona just use a disk attached to the telescope, as you're suggesting [0]. However, for Proba-3 they want the disk to be over 100m away from the telescope, which isn't practical. Also, one of the goals of Proba-3 is to develop formation flying technology, because it will be useful for many other missions in the future.

The parts market transformation for tier-1 parts suppliers is far more complicated. What’s happening is that the legacy parts (panels) are coming from a different management pool than the EV components and parts suppliers are scrambling to change their strategies.

Take a look at how parts suppliers are segmenting their businesses and it will make sense (article below).

I completely agree with your conclusion, but none of the manufacturers have incentives that line up with limited liability.

https://www.bcg.com/publications/2023/growth-strategy-tier-o...

> Suppliers looking to formulate a successful portfolio strategy should begin with a careful review of their existing product groups, broadly allocated to three segments based on their growth and profitability outlooks.

- Booster parts. The major source of growth, this category includes such trend-driven parts as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), battery management systems (BMS), and fuel cells. These parts offer generally greater profitability, though profits will depend on the specific niche—higher for software, lower for increasingly commoditized segments like power electronics.

- Carry-over parts. These include a range of parts that will be predominantly trend-agnostic and stable, such as exterior parts, HVAC, seating, lighting, and the like. Profitability for this category will generally be stable.

- Legacy parts. These include ICE engine systems and conventional transmissions, exhaust systems, fuel systems, and older generations of electronics and human-machine interface (HMI) systems no longer applicable for connected cars—all of which are generally declining as a result of trends in mobility. In general, future profitability for this category of parts will be declining as suppliers struggle with overcapacity.

> Many tier-one suppliers will likely offer a mix of all three types of products. A proper portfolio strategy, however, will require the development of a separate, distinct strategy for managing each product group.

The author, William Langewiesche, should really be ashamed about what they wrote: comparing the state (and all the services it provides) to the Camorra.

This is very poor and ignorant writing, from somebody that clearly hasn't spent any significant time in those places.
Still basic questions.

The real kicker is when your fellow users are opening the CSV in a spreadsheet with a locale that prefers commas for fractional currency amount and then saving the file back.
This is what psychologists call "a boundary", and there's nothing secret about how it works: you just don't do the thing your abuser is asking you to do.
I guess this is a good thing for increasing coverage of neglected areas. But given how cleverly LLMs can hide hallucinations, I feel like at least a few different auditor bots should also sign off on edits to ensure everything is correct.
Prepare to be underwhelmed - no need for a paper for this one: The only emergent ability of an LLM is that the model is more robust when there are more samples. When the number of samples is in the trillions instead of thousands, there are a lot more complete concepts available for it to match to your query.

The so-called "emergent ability" of a chat-focused LLM is its accuracy, which is only possible with enough sample data, and also only possible if it's good at matching a query to the right samples, and wording a response in a way that's pleasing to the end user - something even the mainstream LLMs struggle to do well.

IME, pretty much only GPT-4 and Mistral are even that good. Most of them aren't that good at anything yet, and half the time don't follow what I ask at all. Being a very large model is only part of what makes it good.

The sad state of Hacker News is not how many people conflate "LLM" with "chatbot" but that an academic paper holds more weight than a library you can npm install right now and try. Seems we lost our way if abstract appeals to authority hold more weight than evidence before your eyes.

Thanks for your comment! I do appreciate the discussion.
I will add a micro benchmark to see if the `yield return` is slowing things down, compared to just calling _sb.Add() inside Read*(). I will also see if it looks cleaner that way. To be honest, the `yield return` is currently in there just because I thought it's "cool".

This is the way it’s always been done and it’s highly effective. The move to welding it to the frame doesn’t make it less reliable, it saves manufacturing cost and complexity.
Alas, no... however you might not need a sound if you can use tonal inflections and pauses to express the boundary instead. Particularly when chunks are short and when the receiver (or the software they're typing into) knows the format already... Although with a tech-illiterate relative you'll have bigger problems, like explaining what an underscore even looks like and where it is on their keyboard.

Obviously I can't fully express it in text here, but try to imagine this as a coworker speaking to you: "Hey, write down this IP address. It's ten, seventy, one twentyyyyyTWO, five."

They didn't actually say "period" or even "dot", but I bet you'd type 10.70.122.5 .
Thanks for the tip, in Michigan and Texas it does appears that you can pay $30/mo for unlimited add-on ... but only if you buy your own cable modem instead of using theirs. This was listed plainly on the new Broadband Facts / "nutrition facts"...I hadn't seen it mentioned before!

I couldn't find anything about a $50 add-on in my states, and I haven't seen any other options for customers who are using the Xfinity-provided modem.

For others wondering why people should care, my biggest concern about this isn't the cost. It's two points:

1) Historically this wasn't ever presented to customers before they signed up for service. All you saw was "1000Gbps for $80/month!", Xfinity wouldn't tell you anything about a data cap until you hit 90% of it and they texted you out of the blue saying "Hey your $80/mo is going to be much higher this month!". I have much less issue (still some, but much less) with it if it's clearly shown up-front! Thanks to the FCC, it now is shown up-front.

2) There's no way to dispute the charges if you believe their "meter" is wrong. Every other utility has meters which are subject to your states "Weights and Measures" department -- if you have reason to believe your utility meter is malfunctioning, you can have the state come out inspect the meter and determine if it's out-of-spec. But Xfinity consumers have little[0] to no recourse if Xfinity errs in their "metering". I don't think that type of business practice should be allowed without being subject to some kind of real oversight.

> I prefer to have all the type-checking code inside the TypeCheck module

There are ways to have your cake and eat it too, here, at least in some languages and patterns.

For example, in Go you could define "CheckType" as part of the interface contract, but group all implementors' versions of that method in the same file, calling out to nearby private helper functions for common logic.

Ruby's open classes and Rust's multiple "impl" blocks can also achieve similar behavior.

And yeah, sure, some folks will respond with "but go isn't OO", but that's silly. Modelling polymorphic behavior across different data-bearing objects which can be addressed as implementations of the same abstract type quacks, very loudly, like a duck in this case.

The thing is that the Wiki mods will need to be more diligent with uncited things. I also see 2 massive opportunities here. First is that they can have agents check the cited source and verify whether the source backs up what's said to a reasonable degree. Second opportunity is fitting in things only found in other language Wikis that either be incorporated into the english one or help introduce new articles. Believe it or not, LLMs can't generate english answers for things answered only in Russian (or any language) in the training data.

You don't compile to js because js is slow.

edit: for the record, I think having only one doc type (html) and only one scripting language (js) in the browser is a terrible idea.

Generative AIs don't remember the original media, they just detect/extract patterns out of them. They aren't able to recreate pixel perfect anything.

> I've not heard of any art classes that train you by copying everything that has been produced.

You don't have to learn it, because it's the second nature for humans. We learn by imitation. Babies learn to talk by imitating sounds from parents. Artists learn by imitating style by masters. That's what generative AI does as well.
Hmm something about this title containing the word 'research' disturbs me. I associate that word with rigorous scientific methods that leads to fact based knowledge or maybe some new hypothesis, not some LLM hallucinating sources, references, quotes and all the other garbage they spit out when challenged over a point of fact. Horrifying to think peeps might turn towards these tools for factual information.
If it syncs time accurately by any method maybe you are able to localize some very interesting events! The localization code I provide with my project should fine with times obtained from this project. I seriously doubt whether that project uses a memory overlayFS but it’s to add as an improvement.

This is fantastic! One can easily imagine some minor refinements that would allow this to be mass producible with very high accuracy. And the applications are abundant. I imagine you could use space filling curves to make 2D or 3D sensors that could cost-efficiently give robots a sense of touch. Wrapped around something like a flexible tube you could make it directionally sensitive for proprioception. It's easily possible that other things that affect the air gaps like say temperature differences could be detected and localized as well.

If you don't have an RTC I'd recommend having a tlsdate with some bounding heuristics to prevent extreme clock fixation from a mitm. You can relatively cheaply hit a large number of public servers that are likely to have good times available over TLS and trust the common result. You validate the certs without considering the notbefore stamps and then if you're feeling aggressive validate them after you've managed to approximate a date from the cohort. I know there are commercial packages that do this, I'm not sure about OSS ones.

Roughtime would be far better, but essentially there's no broad deployment of it yet.

Ideally something good would be picked by Raspbian and delivered in the distro as standard.

The solution exists since decades: instead of having layered OSes + application software back at Xerox time Smalltalk workstations was an OS as a single application, live framework, "apps" was just bits of code. Today it's the same (nearly, all but the C core) in Emacs.

This model makes "bad citizens" a nightmare because they are not isolated bits that fails individually but "something that fail inside the system", this might led to a slow development for revolutionary things, very quick development for incremental evolution, witch is probably very good.

Unfortunately this model means end-user programming, the power of computing in users hands, not the dumb human operating like a monkey an endpoint of a remote service/mainframe model alike. A thing most IT giants really dislike because it can easily erase their business...
