Three ways of looking at this:

1. Maybe something about you is triggering their fraud system for step-up verification.

2. They might experience a lot of fraudulent (scammer) users, which is a net-negative for anyone who host there because ISP might black list that hosting providers IPs.

3. Maybe they are super serious and KYC all onboarding because they only what super vetted customers because that benefits everyone to have a “clean network” (basically the opposite of #2).

Given OVH super low pricing, my guess is #2.
ChatGPT is not citing anything. It can't possibly do that reliably with LLM weights alone.

While it’s slowly been heading this direction for a while, for me LinkedIn has been really the last (mostly) decent place to maintain a professional network and share and explore interests. I think part of the reason is (most) people are not hiding behind pseudonyms, which (mostly) keeps things civil.
I’ve stayed with them because it’s still biased to being a professional networking and employment site. Moves like this will have me cancelling premium quickly. I don’t want Facebook’dIn.

My understanding of licensing law is that something like 3.0 -> 4.0 is very unlikely to be a winnable case in the US.

Programmers think like machines. Lawyers don't. A lot of confusion comes from this. To be clear, there are places where law is machine-like, but I believe licensing is not one of them.

If two licenses are substantively equivalent, a court is likely to rule that it's a-okay. One would most likely need to show a substantive difference to have a case.

IANAL, but this is based on one conversation with a law professor specializing in this stuff, so it's also not completely uninformed. But it matches up with what you wrote. If your history is right, the 2019 changes is where there would be a case.

The joyful part here is that there are 200 countries in the world, and in many, the 3.0->4.0 would be a valid complaint. I suspect this would not fly in most common law jurisdictions (British Empire), but it would be fine in many statutory law ones (e.g. France). In the internet age, you can be sued anywhere!

Which could be taken to heart by people insisting that government should go back to some imagined simpler past. Those old processes are obsolete; there's no going back. But that's another tale.

We definitely could create smaller governments to slow the consolidation of power. Splitting the more populous states in half or whatever, and treating the remaining states more like the EU treats it’s states would be a huge step in the right direction. but as you said it’s another tale.

It’s not so much the difference as saying exactly how one number compares to the other. For example, given 150 and 100, you could say that 150 is either 150% of 100 or that it is 50% bigger than 100.

As one of the commenters on the article put it [1],

> Basically every correct answer it gives is a lucky guess.

If you get a would-be-defamatory statement from an LLM that has no access to an external database (and has no personal information in the prompt given by the LLM service provider) then you would be committing defamation if you present it to someone else as fact. (Well, at least in the US. In the US, defamation requires a statement of fact; opinion and truthful statements cannot be defamation.) A fitting excerpt from the article:

> Now, there are some attempts at generative AI tools that do store data. The hot topic in the generative AI world these days is RAGs, “retrieval augmented generation,” in which an AI is also “retrieving” data from some sort of database. noyb’s complaint would make more sense if it found a RAG that was returning false information. In such a scenario, the complaint would fit.

> But when we’re talking about a regular old generative AI model without retrieval capabilities, it makes no sense at all.

If the LLM reads a defamatory statement from an external database then whoever first assembled the database would be at fault.

If the LLM service provider tricked people into thinking that the LLM's would-be-defamatory responses were from a human then the service provider would be at fault.

Does anyone know if chatGPT etc could code without stackoverlow answers?

I think that is the big question, because the license seems it's going to give lawyers a very wide attack surface to go after every ai coder out there if they all need SO database.
As long as they can.

I can actually see all 3 of these umbrellas as being repairable, just by different methods, and if I were forced to use any of them, I would definitely attempt to keep them working as long as I could. Maybe that's the ultimate lesson here.

An example is a coffee lid, sometimes it's active use is less than six seconds, but it's 'actual' life may be over a thousand years.

A thousand years of "sleep", during which it may be reused or recycled by those in the future in some as yet unknown way, meanwhile continuing to store the energy that was expended in its production. I like to think of "waste" as things which are merely not currently useful.
We recently released a self-service document generation tool. Free Code Summaries, and Project Summaries, but payment is required for upstream document generation and relationship mapping. Is this something you would use, or atleast check out?

We have been privately testing more advanced generations with a handful of Enterprises and SMBs, but finding companies/people who have an immediate need to fully document their source code has been more difficult than expected. We've focused on Custom Software Development Companies that onboard to new codebases, enterprises working with Legacy Code, and the occasional scaling startup, but we haven't been getting responses via LinkedIn or email, or new account signups via 1.22% CTR ads.

Is this a messaging and onboard flow problem, or am I missing something bigger?

Not so much anymore though. I've seen over the last year that SO ranks lower and content farms like geeks4geeks, Programiz, etc. are getting much higher in results.
I agree in part, but why aren't other moderated outlets where users can ask technical questions given the same label? Reddit, Quora and HN are also curated, are content removals on these site taken as elitist? Even if these places are less heavily moderated, I have no trouble surfacing relevant answers using any search engine's in-site search.

I am not talking about QA quality on any of these sites here, but the elitist stigma that has seemingly followed SO for so long.

So did you read that USA Today article? I did not see a single example of a book being banned from a non-school library. In fact, every example in the article was about a book being removed from taught curriculum, or a state passing a law requiring schools to notify parents when a book contains a sexual content.

Your last point makes me think maybe you don’t have kids? Because yes of course every parents knows that they can’t control every aspect of their child’s experience. This discussion is specifically about what should and shouldn’t be in children’s libraries. I think parents should have a say in that. Kids are like sponges. If you tell them it’s totally normal to kill puppies, some not-insignificant percentage of them are gonna kill puppies.

I loved the book Middlesex, and have nothing against transgender people. My concern is that a “movement” has started around this naturally rare phenomenon and it has become increasingly trendy to cut off your penis or breasts. This is not what sane parents want for their children.

2. Cutting an apple into slices (to make sure its not a grenade) because I like apples in slices

3. Shaving off some excess paint on the edge of a light switch because it was annoying and gummy

> a giant, bloated bureaucracy [...] In the United States, for example, the federal government alone is the largest employer in the entire world.

That's misleading: You are asserting "lots of pencil-pushing bureaucrats", but the numbers you're touting instead rest upon "lots of gun-holding soldiers."

Depending on how you crunch the numbers, India or China may have taken the #1 spot by now.
Maybe, I don't have any real opinions on them, but wherever they are this is a step in the right direction with regards to that.
The supermajority of employees of the federal government are from military/defense growth explosion sustained since WWII. The US is also not top of the list these days, India's department of defense has taken the crown. I.e. being a top employer is and has been mostly due to having a massive military, not bureaucratic growth, even outside the US. It's also worth noting federal employment numbers peaked 30 years ago, when there were 25% less people living in the country, so it's by no means been continuously growing ever larger.

I have very few SO contributions so I don't have much at stake personally, but I have observed that there was a trend of people using their SO profiles for career advancement. I'd see people reference their SO activity on resumes and I had job applications ask for my SO profile if I had one, and I've seen advice that a good SO profile was valuable the way a good Github profile is. Is that something people factor in to their decision to delete? And isn't that social capital a kind of compensation for their contributions?

That's overly reductionist. The OS is an abstraction layer between the hardware and applications, such that you don't need to write everything bare metal (like it happened in the 70's).

In the past (read: 80's and 90's), that mean you'd have applications running on top of your OS, so you could delegate screen, device drivers, I/O, interrupt requests, and everything else to the OS.

Now we're in a different abstraction layer. The browser became your interface to the hardware in many respects. If you're an application developer, you can develop "for the web", instead of targeting each OS individually. And with WebUSB/ WebGPU/ etc, the browser becomes even closer to a real OS.

Now, it's interesting that mobile apps push us back to the 90's model. The promise of "write once/run everywhere" is gone, and you'll not only develop at least 2 separate mobile apps (potentially more -- e.g., tablets, TV, gaming consoles), but also deal with different OS APIs and different AppStore policies.

> In general, being successful and popular had little to do with how well a PL is designed.

Perhaps, but it is fairly easy to design a product for a small, self-selecting group of fans who find the aesthetics appealing and so declare the design good for their taste. Unless a language becomes heavily used in codebases that are maintained for years by a large variety of programmers, it's hard to tell how well it is actually designed as a mass-appeal product.

Two of the three languages you mentioned weren't able to attain nearly the same success as Java for as long a duration. I'd give C a similar success score because what it lacks in popularity it still makes up for in longevity, being almost twice as old. There are good reasons for why C is still as popular as it is. For example, in its domain -- which requires compilation to exotic architectures -- "good design" entails being able to easily implement efficient compilers.
If you lock 1000 people in a building with nothing but bananas and hammers, no guns or knives, there would still be murders and they would all be by hammer.

There is always a most-selected tool or means, regardless what objects you try to control, regardless what the menu of available tools is. Removing the top of the list today does not change the murders.

It's completely stupid and only disadvantages the victims and good bystanders, and does not disadvantage the violent.
