I don't know what to tell you. You continue to pick out sentences from sources and assume that either there is no relative context and just make up your own interpretation of it. You can't just read a line like that and make up your own meaning for it. You need to understand those in the context of the rules it's explaining (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/17/240.10b-5).

Maybe the law is too dense. Here's another analysis of the law for you to consider: https://federal-lawyer.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-federal...

From there:

"federal courts have interpreted Rule 10b-5 to allow for enforcement action when the following four elements are satisfied:

Breach of a fiduciary duty or violation of a relationship of “trust and confidence” in connection with the purchase or sale of a corporate security;

Use or possession of material nonpublic information in connection with the purchase or sale of a corporate security;

Knowing or reckless use of the material nonpublic information when purchasing or selling the corporate security at issue; and,

Reaping a personal benefit as a result of the purchase or sale."

And again, whether there's a duty of trust or confidence to the source of the information is a key factor in whether it can be traded on legally.

Undervalued sentiment.
These reasons for the arrest warrant could apply to a dozen heads of state that I could mention offhand, and I'm just a layman in that field. Is there such a warrant issued already for Assad, president of Syria? Wasn't the recently deceased president of Iran called "The Butcher of Tehran" for a reason?
upwards of .1% plastic seems surprising.
I think "beyond the pale" is a bit hyperbolic. The voice actor has publicity rights, too.
However, "unlink the pointer" has been good enough for ages.

The data is effectively deleted short of an application having the privileges to read the underlying raw block device and having an understanding of the raw filesystem structures to be able to search though that unallocated, raw space and reconstruct file entries.

No application outside of special-purpose data recovery apps (and even then you'd need to run them with elevated privileges) would have any reason to be capable of this, so in practice a deleted file means it is deleted from the perspective of the vast majority of applications.

Similarly, SSD TRIM is also irrelevant - TRIM'med space is hidden from the host. Sure, an intentional tool exploiting some undocumented vendor command or side-channel could probably recover it but again you'd have to do this intentionally.
On the page 7 of the usenix study,

"The last column in Table 1 allows a comparison of ARRs across ﬂash types. A cursory study of the numbers indicates generally higher replacement rates for 3D-TLC devices compared to the other ﬂash types. Also, we observe that 3D-TLC drives have consumed 10-15X more of their spare blocks."

Latter follows

"we observe that SLC models are not generally more reliable than eMLC models that are comparable in age and capacity. For example, when we look at the ARR column of Table 1, we observe that SLC models have similar replacement rates to two eMLC models with comparable capacities [...] This is consistent with the results in a ﬁeld study based on drives in Google’s data centers [29], which does not ﬁnd SLC drives to have consistently lower replacement rates than MLC drives either. Considering that the lithography between SLC and MLC drives can be identical, their main difference is the way cells are programmed internally, suggesting that controller reliability can be a dominant factor."

What certainly follows,

"Overall, the highest replacement rates in our study are associated with 3D-TLC SSDs. However, no single ﬂash type has noticeably higher replacement rates than the other ﬂash types studied in this work, indicating that other factors, such as capacity or lithography, can have a bigger impact on reliability."

So programmed obsolescence is present in the drivers, as well as in the 3D-NAND that degrades over time with reads (the chosen traces design, not the layers themselves). Interesting.

China, are you reading this? You have the opportunity to shake the market and dominate it globally, just by implementing a well-designed product, honest drivers and modest nm (not lowering to today's sizes, just enough to ensure decent energetic efficiency and good speed).

I would definitely have overlooked it, and it really needs a better domain name.
Does Meta plan to open source these models?
Why shouldn't we trust what OpenAI says? If they say they used another actress, we should give them the benefit of the doubt. Questioning them only gives fuel to their detractors, which could in turn slow progress and reduce investment in the space.
sama gets to farm out much of the lobbying to Microsoft’s already very powerful team, which spends a mere $10m but that money gets magnified by MS’s gov and DoD contracts. That’s a huge safety net for him, he gets to steal and lie (as demonstrated w/ Scarlett) and yet the MS lobbying machine will continue unphased.

That makes sense. You probably don't want to train your LLM against your uncle's dubious claims about the government, flat earthers and the likes content :)
I love it, but mainly for its atmosphere and roleplay, because the magic/tech choice every time you level up is a nonsense. The two sides do equivalent things, and stack together but degrade each other if mixed, so strategically you just have to pick one side or the other and stick to it. Also there's weird bits involving a graveyard full of zombies, or roaming the wilderness having random encounters, which basically beg you to grind for XP as much as you like: and a pet dog who can gain his own XP and rapidly becomes overpowered, getting all the first kills. Lovely game, terrible gameplay.
Thanks for your comparison.

> The major consideration for using Qt for commercial software is pricing. While it may be possible to use Qt under the LGPL, compliance with the LGPL for commercial software can be tricky.

How's using the LGPL that tricky? I'm using it in my closed-source application[1]. It would have been nice if you could expand on this more.

The title says performance, yet you talk about bundle size, should be a separate title called "footprint".

Also, putting the pricing for non-LGPL Small Businesses at the top of the Quick Comparison for Qt without mentioning the free LGPL option is a little disingenuous.

The precision should be no trouble, but you should understand your printers tolerance capabilities.

If you print a 30mm hole and a 30mm box to go in it, it might not fit, usually you would oversize the hole or undersize the box. By how much depends on your printers characteristics. Easy to test by printing said box then measuring how close to 30mm it was.
The Chrome one was interesting as Chromium and as conequence VSCode and Edge had arm versions for years
The biggest mistake in the last 20 years was when Hamas took power and Netanyahu took an immediate hardline, imposing a crushing blockade, full demonization propaganda, "mowing the lawn" policy, and refused to even try to work with Hamas from day one. But Netanyahu has never wanted peace.
It still fraud (in my opinion) if you can never reach those numbers under any circumstances.

It's not "up to a million hours usage", because it's impossible to use it for a million hours.

That just sounds like the term "unwilling" is to be arbitrarily applied when the ICC doesn't like the national court's decision.
Compared to Mirasol3B[1] this is not supporting audio as a modality. What Google has done with Mirasol3B made the demo of "Astro" in Google I/O possible. They do a little of cheating by converting audio to images(spectrogram) and video to 25 photo frames with some sort of attention system to things that change during those frames. So the tokenizer is basically the same for audio and video and images.

I believe Meta is going to this direction with multimodality as well. The new GPT voice mode is probably using the same architecture.

What's mind boggling is that models perform better at the same parameter size with new modality added to them!

It seems obvious that 3D is the next modality.

Just couple of days ago I discussed “Her” in context of Sky voice of ChatGPT, and how it reminds me of the movie.

It’s interesting to see how it unfolding.
That seems to explain it quite well, thanks. I only care about being productive and really do not about my resume as I only work on my own projects.
I think motives matter. Putin and Hamas decided to rape and kill for the sake of it.

Seems unlikely that Israel would be causing this much destruction if the group that they were seeking to retaliate against wasn't using civilians as shields (which is a war crime in itself).

Seems weird to put all responsibility on Israel here.

But in general I agree that a world government criminal court is a political joke that nobody takes seriously
In California the permit laws are aggressive and slow, so much so that it's common practice to make most modifications unpermitted. This severely limits new home supply, because permits include new homes. The solution? Federal program which gives huge subsidies to purchasing an expensive home (they give you a cut to buy the house, no interest, and they take a cut when you sell).

This is complicated by a property tax law similar to rent control, where your taxes are frozen at the time of purchase. This results in a market where few people are willing to sell and most people are unable to build. Thus rental prices in the region are dirt cheap relative to home prices, versus an appalachian town where the opposite is true.

For me, this is an example of red light cameras causing MORE accidents than without the camera because it interferes with human behavior. Specifically, the painfully slow permit process causes most building to be done unpermitted and therefore at risk of harm to human life (the purpose of the permit is to assure safety). As we know, the unspoken purpose of the red light camera is revenue, thus representing a conflict of interest between true safety and revenue, and I think a similar conflict is rotting California's real estate situation as well, in service to wealth building more than it's in service to the common man.

Ole Donny T. wasn’t really exaggerating when he said that he could shoot a man dead in broad daylight on Fifth Ave. and get away with it.
No. An unprecedent fraud undid them all. And nobody saw it coming. It took two insiders to roll over before anything came to light (ref: Cendant).

As many people point out, the CEO has some level of fiduciary duty to investors. If you refuse an offer with a 40% or so premium, you are going to be facing down lawsuits.

Finally, while Roberta was enjoying her position, Ken really wanted to quit all of the CEO crap. Finding a CEO to hand things over to is just as fraught as a buyout and probably more likely to bump into bad actors than a buyout.

Put it all together and there really was no good reason to refuse the buyout. If the purchasing company hadn't been a fraud, we'd be lauding the decision to sell instead of castigating it.
You're taking the right angle with greed (1 Timothy 6:9-11). But I think it goes beyond that:

> Williams wasn’t a game designer, but a visionary who saw the company always moving forward, leading the market with other genres, other software, online worlds connecting every kind of person. That Sierra is instead remembered, basically entirely, for these 2D adventure games from the eighties and nineties is, he says, because the company was killed.

With respect to Ken, I think his ambition outstripped his ability. He prided his company on being something it wasn't, and himself being something he wasn't either. Sierra had to be something big, he had to be something big; his favored fraudster knew exactly how to exploit that self-illusion. In reality, Ken's own wife hints that Ken was struggling as CEO even before selling, e.g. failing to see through people, over-relying on lieutenants when making decisions, etc.

For all the talk of murdering Sierra, I find it interesting Ken doesn't name the culprit. Not the fraudster or his cronies. I think that's because Ken is the one who let them in his house.
My limited understanding is the location/country of the proposed violation or the violators need to be a signatory. In this case, Palestine is a signatory so the actions of Israel in Palestine as well as the actions of Hamas (acting anywhere) are within the court's jurisdiction.
Maybe I know how to handle IOException but not MyApplicationException but the method only gives me the latter. There is effectively no handling MyApplicationException so why even force the declaration. Either way most exceptions cannot be handled in any meaningful way anyway so checked exceptions are pointless busywork.

Ignoring the actual legality of using training data in machine learning, let's look at these "options" in a purely objective-driven way. If you do that, you'll quickly realize that what you describe would strengthen megacorporations to an even greater extent. If training on public data is banned, then the entities who have complete ownership of all their data would be granted a de facto monopoly. Stock image services, media conglomerates, music labels, industry giants would start in the winning position. When one side just gets their way for free and the other has to beg for scraps, do you really think this is a fair proposition?

The reason why open-source AI exists at all is that we've always been allowing use of public data - it was okay when Google did it, it was okay when the Internet Archive did it, it was even okay when text translation services used that same data to train their models - or really, that applies to basically anything ML-driven before generative AI.

There's, like, a sea of reasons to criticize OpenAI for - but arguing for extending IP laws even further and calling out opponents for "literal theft" is one of the weaker options that caught on with many people.
iCloud is a pile of crap with eventual consistency everywhere, including some really extreme interpretations of "eventual": I've had deleted "favorite places" on Maps persist for years. Deleting them would hide them from the local device, yet restoring a brand new device would bring them back.

The whole thing feels like it's running on duct tape, wishful thinking and a large chunk of non-technical users that would blame themselves rather than the shitty tech when weird things like this happen.

There’s a conflict of interest. It is reasonable to assume that any DNs budgeting will pivot around being able to have a “free” place to work at.

The coworking spaces pitched in the article charge north of $500 a month for a simple chair to sit on. some get more expensive if you only want to stay for a few weeks.

That makes it easy to go for the free option and just squat a spot at a cafe.

I feel bad for the good guys who behave respectfully and know when they’ve overstayed their welcome. But for those that don’t Cafe owners need to disincentivize the behavior.

I’m online >12h/day and I work on all devices available while awake. Still, I personally would prefer a cafe that has a strict “no notebooks” & “phone calls and meetings outside” policy.
that took a while ;)
I had to go look at what voice I picked once I heard the news, it was Sky. I listened to them all and thought it sounded the best. I didn’t make any connection to her (Scar Jo or the movie) when going through the voices, but I wasn’t listening for either. I don’t think I know her voice well enough to pick it out of a group like that.

Maybe I liked it best because it felt familiar, even if I didn’t know why. I’m a bit disappointed now that she didn’t sign on officially, but my guess is that Altman just burned his bridge to half of Hollywood if he is looking for a plan B.
well, that's a given, bro. you guys only steal yet you complain when what you steal makes your result "poor".

I think its a perfect example that cloud providers are profiting on a unsustainable scheme. They rely on their services papering over (literally with money) lack of skill/knowlege of their customers. This tactic either kills the customer or creates someone that is desperate to no longer be your customer.
I live about eight kilometers from Gaza, the aid trucks are on all the highways at pretty much capacity, and it's been like this for quite a while. I really don't see how much more aid could get in without building more infrastructure, and in fact there is a new port in the strip being built (maybe done already).

It should be noted in context that even bringing in aid is dangerous. The population attacks the aid drivers for two reasons (one, to get the aid, and two, they consider those drivers "traitors" and have been attacking them for long before the current conflict). And there is not insignificant risk to the Gazans as well, there was an incident a few months ago where an aid truck ran people over trying to stop it and some people were killed in a very gruesome fashion.
I also said “they” instead of “her”, I’m confused as to why anybody misinterpreted what I said.

Maybe, but I don't think it's likely that they used any actual copyrighted material of her voice. It's not illegal to want one voice actor to play a role (or record voice data), then get a different, somewhat (but not actually very) similar sounding voice actor to do it instead.
Actually it’s the copyright that is supposed to prevent a monopoly arising in the form of an OpenAI, or Google News back in the day.
0.999… always reminds me of my favorite definition of the real numbers:

“A real number is a quantity x that has a decimal expansion

x = n + 0.d₁d₂d₃…, (1)

where n is an integer, each dᵢ is a digit between 0 and 9, and the sequence of digits doesn't end with infinitely many 9s. The representation (1) means that

n + d₁/10 + d₂/100 + ⋯ + dₖ/10^k ≤ x < n + d₁/10 + d₂/100 + ⋯ + dₖ/10^k + 1/10^k

for all positive integers k.”[1]

Defining the reals in terms of binary expansion is left as an exercise for the reader[2].

Discovery works both ways. The original Her voice actress[1] was recast to someone more SoCal in post-production, so there is evidence of the flirty erotic AI style itself not being a unique enough selling point.

It will come down to what makes the complaining celebrity's voice iconic, which for Scarjo is the 'gravelly' bit. Which smooth Sky had none of.

I started as a Linux enthusiast a long time ago, these days in my own time I use macos and I don't miss Linux that much, as long as I'm in the terminal I don't feel a difference.

At daily job I'm forced to use Windows, the only thing that's keeping me from changing jobs is WSL2. I'm just not productive with mouse based tools, I need a terminal and powershell doesn't do it for me. Everything feels alien and less usable to me even after years, fonts, window decorations, file manager, UI inconsistencies between different tools. Everything seems slightly hostile and out of place.

Notably on recent CPU generations the CPU vendors yanked S3 support completely, so you have to rely on your Linux installation being able to adequately manage power in S0ix. While it won’t be hostile to you like a Windows one, I’m yet to see this work as well as S3 with regard to battery life.
Totally agree. Spring and actually everything in that realm is plain horrible. DI is awesome on it's own (especially if you do hexagonal architecture), but spring hides behaviour and brings in undocumented changes on updates and things like that (same for any spring related project and hibernate). That's my biggest problem with it.
