Sure, I know, but I mean that's just their subjective line in the sand. (Their maximal-freedom in this kind of infinite dimensional space.)

After all wouldn't a user be more free if they were able to just do whatever they want with it, not just run it? Ie. free to copy/modify/sublicense it in any way? Why is program execution more important than other use of the intellectual property?

If they want to maximize freedom for all potential users, then they ought to think about sustainability of the software. (As in economic incentives and market share and whatnot.) To me it seems they have a static worldview, the only thing they care about is that current set-in-stone version of the work, but that's basically putting their head into the cool refreshing sand of ignorance.

(That said, I'm nowhere near FSF/OSI circles (duh! :P), so I have no idea what's their current thinking of this. Maybe they are fully aware of this, but ... based on HN chatter it seems that they realized it's a hard problem and picked an oversimplified worldview as workaround, and now it's institutionalized denial.)

> And while I can understand the legal minefield with prohibiting some use, I'd really wish we had a good license that would indeed try to also curb using software for committing real atrocities.

I'm very skeptical of the practicality of it (after all if there's one thing states in general are good at, it is waging large scale wars and appropriating everything required for it), but if adding naive sounding clauses to FOSS-ish projects can prevent at least a few drone attacks it will have worth it.

Also, if people want to somehow put these use-restrictions into "the right context at the right time" then they can add a clause for that.

Ie. add a clause listing categories of uses and/or users (military, law enforcement, surveillance, and any state, state-owned, significantly state-sponsored entity) that require express written authorization from a named organization/institution, and folks could simply pick this when they start a project. (From Apache2-NATO to AGPL-ChaosComputerClub and so on.)
It is indeed reasonable to interpret Amazon's Big River project as being not anything indicative of clandestine malware or something. But something unprecedented like artificial general intelligence is very likely to pose a threat to giant enterprises and businesses. A significant threat actually.

So maybe super-intelligence would press lobbied government regulation into a protective service for its source code?

Maybe there's already source code protecting regulation primed and ready for the super-intelligence's arrival? Like ethical rules that commercial entities must follow.

OK, but if the nukes are what persuaded Tokyo to surrender, it did so after Tokyo lost almost all of its warships and stopped having enough fuel for its warplanes and started having so much difficulty importing things by sea or by air that there was no hope at all of their continuing to run an industrial economy and would be lucky to manage to continue to feed most of their population.

Be careful that you don't avoid applying for certain jobs because you suspect the potential employer may be getting slammed with applications or because you expect no response from them.

Even if those things are true, apply anyway. Sometimes you can just get lucky. Remember the truism that "if you don't ask, the answer is 'no'. If you ask, there's a chance of a 'yes'".

Wiktionary also says the Swedish “prata” comes from Proto Germanic:

The fact that you can't envision a world where natural forces produced all of this and the reductiveness of your argument demonstrates a profound lack of imagination and an unwillingness to engage with possibilities that challenge your world view. We suspect all of this evolved over eons because we can see it writ small in the changes that organisms undertake even today, and we extrapolate to the eon because we can see these changes play out in a fossil record to produce entirely new kinds of creature. Saying that this is simply impossible without providing any alternative explanation for the evidence asks us to take too much on faith. If you're going to say that the great body of research and evidence led us to the wrong conclusion you now have the task of explaining, for each piece of evidence, what the alternative explanation is and how your explanation is better than ours.

> this means that any ad supported service that offers ad free service against pay including youtube and netfix are in violation of this.

Actually not. Those ad free services are still tracking you. There is no payment for privacy, just payment for no adverts. The data they record while you are using the paid ad-free service can still be used elsewhere, including by that service if you later stop paying to remove the ads. This is bad from a privacy PoV, but at least it is equally bad for all from a rights PoV (rather than creating classes of haves & have nots).

There are points where ads and privacy are completely separate issues. If they were separate issues generally than I'd allow many more ads but block the stalky ads/services. Not all online ads are stalky (though the vast majority are), and many ad-free sites/apps/services are still stalky (directly, or via free services that they use such as many SaaS analytics options).

Well, I remember when training GPT-3 on 300B was a lot.
I don't have a perfect solution, except for the obvious answer that the best we can do is a combination of multiple benchmarks. It's harder now than ever because you also want to test long contexts, and older benchmarks are over-optimized. I think it would be best to overweigh newer benchmarks and underweigh benchmarks on which objectively dumb models like Claude 3 Haiku score well. And I have a big problem with HumanEval, which is Python-only and has only 164 problems but is used as the catch-all for coding abilities.

Yeah for sure, I see where you are coming from. I have used a form 3 a lot (4k of materials) and have my own form 2 and for my uses it has worked super well. There are certainly blind spots but for the consumer they are targeting who wants to print parts and not think about the details it is pretty slick.

I think for what it is worth formlabs has a pretty unique position in the market where their printers are low enough in price where they have to compete with enthusiast printers which makes it tough. If what you are looking for is a machine that you can tweak and set up exactly how you want it, formlabs isn't ideal. But for people who are not interested in working on a printer and just want parts to appear in the printer I d not think that anyone else does that better.

Key problem is that the average consumer is with their health insurance provider for about 3 years. This means that when you have drugs that provide significant health and cost benefits in the long term, the patient's current insurer pays the cost but another company receives most of the benefits.

It would help tremendously if the US changed the rules and made it so most people got insurance directly and not through their employer.

But getting large amounts of copper, iron and aluminum will be so much easier with all the work we have already put into mining and refining it. At worst you have to invent the technology to turn wood into charcoal and charcoal into coke to get the fire hot enough to smelt iron.

The conclusion of the article is clearly nonsense. How would the features presented, which include an API for generating JVM bytecode, "make it easier for beginning programmers to write programs without needing to understand the programming language features designed for larger or enterprise application development"?

It might be plagiarized from an Infoworld article [0] which also talks about these features and uses a similar phrase – "make it easier for beginning programmers to write programs without needing to understand language features designed for large programs" – but there it specifically refers to "implicitly declared classes and instance main methods", i.e. JEP 463 [1].

> We're different types of AI models, so it's not exactly a question of "smarter." I'm an AI assistant with a focus on generating human-like text responses, while ChatGPT is a specific type of AI model called a large language model (LLM). LLMs like ChatGPT are trained on vast amounts of text data and are great at generating text, answering questions, and even creating stories or code! I'm designed to be more conversational and helpful, providing information and answering questions within a conversation. I'm constantly learning and improving, so there are many things I can do well, but I may not always be able to generate text or answer questions in the exact same way as ChatGPT. So, we're both useful in different ways, and it's great that there are many different types of AI models and assistants available to help with different tasks!

Assuming Ross's rumour is true and he is rarely wrong about Display Screen information.

If Apple were to keep normal iPhone the same Aspect Ratio as the New Pro, i.e the new 19.6 : 9 Ratio. ( They are making it slightly longer to compensate for the space used for Dynamic Island ) And ALL the iPhone range will keep the same size difference between Normal / Plus and Pro / Pro Max, which is roughly 19.5 - 20% larger area for the bigger model.

Then an iPhone 17 with 5.9" Screen would have an iPhone 17 Plus with 6.46" ( Likely calling it 6.5" ), which fits nicely between 6.3" in the iPhone 17 Pro and 6.9" of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The iPhone 5.9" would satisfy most of the demand for smaller iPhone, while 6.5" would not cannibalise the iPhone Pro Max sales. This is similar to the MacBook line up, where the Air has 13" and 15" Screen size while Pro has 14" and 16" Screen size.

And Judging from the iPhone Mini sales results, it may actually push more people to the 6.5" Screen Size rather than stay with the 5.9". And results in an increase of average selling price.

"Calories in, calories out" is basically a useless phrase, implying that the human response to food and exercise is as easily modelable as a physics problem on a test. Especially how you seem to connect it directly to "gluttony," as though that were the main predictor of a person's weight.

The human body responds in many complex ways to your diet, activity, food intake, etc. Different people absorb variable amounts of calories from the same food, depending on ethnicity, age, type of food, when it's consumed, their microbiome composition, whether they're dieting, the weather outside, etc, etc. And yet, the state of the art is still to "calculate" calories by just setting food on fire and measuring the heat released.

> I would have to quit if my company wasnt providing a reasonable medical coverage because these costs can otherwise bankrupt a person in this country

Your insurance would be functionally quite similar if you purchased it in the private market, and its relative cost compared to your company's premiums depends on your age (and smoker status) compared with the average at your company.

But the upshot is that your cash compensation is probably quite a lower because your employer is paying for your healthcare bills. This bundling doesn't necessarily serve you or your employer, though if you're an older employee with dependents who are also covered, you may be benefitting from an implicit subsidy by younger employees without dependents.
