I read that as "NVIDIA encourages you to be ethical and prohibits breaking the law. That doesn't seem so bad to me. What is bad, however, is section 2.1.

> 2.1 ... If You institute ... litigation against any entity ... alleging that the Model or a Derivative Model constitutes direct or contributory copyright or
patent infringement, then any licenses granted to You under this Agreement for that Model or Derivative Model will terminate...

If you sue or file a copyright claim that the model violates copyright, you lose your license to use the model. That's a really weird restriction, I'm not sure what the point is.
OP here. Cool! I was born in 1969, less than a month before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, and was only a few months old when this game was written. I too learned BASIC, then spent hours pouring over the book "BASIC Computer Games", before I even had a computer of my own. Fond memories, as you say.
I've said for years you're always better off settling with regulators on negotiated terms than having that regulator taking you to court. And Apple have been holding on too tightly to their App Store monopoly. It simply creates too much money now that we're way past covering costs. It's a massive cash cow. And everybody knows it.

Like when Apple offered to allow third-party payment processors but would only reduce its cut from 30% to 27%.

So Apple has two big problems now:

1. It's going to have to justify that 30% and it can't; and

2. It will come out that for certain companies, Apple charges significantly less than 30%. By picking favorites, particularly in markets Apple itself competes in, it's going to be a problem.

I suspect we will end up with Apple (and Google):

1. Being allowed to charge 10%;

2. Allowing third-payment payment processors;

3. In-app purchses through third-party mpayment processors yielding 0% for Apple. Think Amazon digital purchases like Kindle books and movies or Netflix subscriptions;

4. Purchase of apps charging less but I honestly don't think this matters because apps have largely moved away from upfront purchases in favor in in-app purchases and I see this trend continuing.

The big question is: will Apple have to allow third-party app stores? That's really what Apple wants to avoid.

I poked around google/ddg and didn't see any obvious public discussion of it so I can't blame you for missing it.

If you have access (or have friends with access) to PitchBook, their file on WeWork would have comprehensive data about all the liquidity events.
It's the same dynamic as with antibiotics resistant bacteria. Given enough time, something will probably appear that does not pay a high price to digest plastic (or can even use the mechanism for other material), and doesn't evolve back when other food is available.

If it's bacteria, then soon the entire world will be full of plastic-digesting bacteria. If it's fungus, it will start to appear here and there at random.
and yet, Microsoft still get purchased without licitation at the comission and all other branches. because of the same reason. lol
Unfortunately, the reality is our legal system is largely subject to regulatory capture at this point. Moneyed interests(corporations and oligarchs) have much louder voices(deeper pockets) than the body politic as a whole, and thus the People are subject to rules made for the benefit of those interests.

I don't think most authors are upset with IA or libraries, but rather a vocal minority of the same. Most authors know that things like this help their reach and ultimately make people more likely to buy their books in the long run.

> If there are people killing other people, I wouldn't say that a communication method was to blame. In Scream, Sidney didn't sue the phone company who let the killer call her from inside the house. The idea that some news feed posts whipped people up into a killing frenzy just sounds absurd.

This is the core of your point and a comment on the idea itself, not the way the article portrayed it. I think it's fare to characterize your dismissal as glib.
Ask HN: How do you find developers for open source bug bounties?
Background: There's a WebRTC Chromium bug that is making life difficult for us. I'd like to pay a developer to fix it, but I don't know where/how to find people.

But this leads to a higher level question. When you want to sponsor open source bug fixes and/or feature and there isn't a clear "sponsor" link or button, how do you find qualified people? For example, is there a site/app you typically search?

These things don’t happen overnight, and many multi-year efforts are currently in the works, especially starting last year.
And that's the idea behind LVT: it tries to separate the use of land from its naked value. The corollary is that LVT shouldn't hinder the productive use of land.
I don't believe this is a solved problem, and it's been around since OpenTracing days[0]. I do not think that the Span links, as they are currently defined, would be the best place to do this, but maybe Span links are extended to support this in the future. Right now Span links are mostly used to correlate spans causally _across different traces_ whereas as you point out there are cases where you want correlation _within a trace_.

As an avid engine braker who lives in a hilly area and drives in the foothills/mountains often, I figure that at the relatively inconsequential loads and speeds my passenger vehicles operate under, I'm simply leveraging the engine's already constant state of wear while preserving my brakes for a moment when I may need their optimal stopping performance.
Spore prints can be a huge help in identifying also!

There are some mushrooms that have very few known lookalikes (varies by geo/region), which have a handful of strong identifying factors. Morels, oysters, and a few others come to mind, where if you can confidently confirm these factors, you can be reasonably sure that you’ve identified them correctly.

That said, people sometimes convince themselves of these factors, especially when they haven’t had much experience identifying them before.

I do know a number of members of the IMA that have been there longer than me, and don’t forage at all!
Right - I guess technically Biden would be eligible, but for goodness sake, I think even he would admit at that point that it wouldn't be the best move for the party for him to run at age 85.
A few decades ago:

I talked with a business man who said that the Chinese would absolutely perform to contract but no more. Early samples would be excellent, full production would be exactly and only what you asked for. Almost malicious compliance.

I talked with a Chinese salesperson who said they always signed contracts with foreigners using their English name. Such contracts are unenforceable. Almost malicious compliance.

It's hard for me to have sympathy for complaining about people doing the least they can when you're trying to pay the least you can.

The stupid idea is believing it isn't.

You can do the math in any major metro. The buses aren't driving faster than private vehicles. Worse yet, they have no privileges and actually obey traffic laws compared to normal traffic.

For all the years that treehugger readers and their like have espoused the benefits of no cars, it's like they can't do grade school arithmetic. No, it will always take longer to walk to public transportation, wait for the scheduled arrival, and walk to your destination in any existing metro if you don't give them extreme speed limit advantages that also put pedestrians at risk.

Go for it, be my guest, show me a single major metro in this American West as described by the article where you can alter the transit system to make things faster than driving your own private vehicle.

Oh you can't? It's because it's not possible. Oh, just build neighborhoods to not rely on cars from the start? Yeah, OK. Boy, isn't everyone just dying to not only finally own a house, but then own one where you can't drive anywhere and you're subject to the only grocery story in your area, along with everything else you're limited to walking to. What a wet dream for lack of competition.

Stupid idea.

The dumber idea is then these people say, "Well, not everyone needs to own a single-family home."

Hey, and while we're all at it, why don't all of us just own nothing, rely on public transportation, and rent forever. Or better yet, if we're all homeless, we can just have the government pay for everything.

No one talks about these things because they're pointless and add nothing to the conversation.

Worse yet, these people don't even give examples of where their supposed utopia already exists where there isn't an order of magnitude fewer housing units that you can actually own, businesses, or anything else meaningful you want to go to or have in your area.

The supposed answer is always denser housing, renting, and you not owning your own vehicle. Wow what a great standard of living! Sign me up!
Apple deserves money for every app on the phone (per Apple). Therefore the CTF makes perfect sense to them.

I think they’re really annoyed by the Facebooks and Spotify’s of the world that make a fortune from the iPhone and pay nothing.

Hey HN,

A few months ago, I was overwhelmed by the endless task of writing emails. It took up hours every day. One evening, while chatting with a friend, a thought struck me: what if AI could handle our emails?

The Idea

Inspired by AI advancements, I envisioned a tool to automate email writing. The goal was simple: create something that fits into daily routines, handles multiple languages, and generates accurate emails.

The Journey

I delved into AI and natural language processing, focusing on the nuances of email communication—tone, context, and clarity. After weeks of research, I started coding the prototype. The early versions were rough but promising. I rigorously tested them by writing my own emails.

Building Scribix

A major breakthrough was enabling the AI to learn from past emails, adapting to a user’s unique style over time. This made emails generated by Scribix feel personal and authentic.

Real-World Testing

I shared the prototype with friends and colleagues. Their feedback was invaluable. They loved how Scribix could draft responses in seconds, handle multiple languages, and understand conversation context.

The Result

After months of development and countless iterations, Scribix became a powerful email assistant. It composes emails from brief prompts, generates context-aware replies, and saves users significant time, allowing them to focus on more important tasks.
In your opinion, other than for funsies, what would be a good situation for an open source project to pursue a custom IC vs say an FPGA or making due with a commercially available IC?
Probably because you have a stick shoved so far up your ass you've got splinters in your mouth.

The type of sterile, emotionless, safe-space you want to work in has probably led to more harm than one that doesn't take itself so seriously. It also yields far less beautiful things.

Hey, did the man in the telly ever tell you about how messy the process of setting Ukraine's borders was back in 1990? Independent countries had to be carved out from the corpse of the USSR, and how does one set their borders? Well, one convenient way would be to use some existing administrative boundary, and this Ukraine was created within the borders of the Ukrainian SSR...

Except that it wasn't that easy. Even back then there as debate over what status Crimea should have. The region already was an autonomy, and even held elections and elected a president. And then got attached to Ukraine anyway and had its independence obliterated.

That report basically includes a few anecdotes without data though, plus data that actually could go against the idea the regulations are the fix. If the stats are showing how many children are illegally employed it really has no basis on whether existing regulations or rollbacks made a difference, the employers and the kids weren't trying to follow the law.
Yeah, the constant repetition was actually lulling me into a deep boredom. And everything discussed was anecdotal. No actual research to support anything being said. Who wrote this? Or upvoted it?
I've read all the sentences in all the paragraphs, but I'm still not sure what OP was trying to convey. Are they saying "skip the introduction"?

I try to start my presentations with a quick rundown of what the presentation will consist of. You can't always tailor the content to the audience, but you can at least give them an index/coles notes up front, so they know when to pay attention and when to zone out.
I can barely read my own handwriting. I just don’t have the fine motor coordination for it. In the context of learning per the article, typed notes are more useful to me as I get more out of them.
The weasel word "sufficiently" was doing the heavy lifting.

If you think it’s meaningfully different to ask for a subscription for content than for a service it would add a lot if you could share why rather than just a sneering hot take. It’s certainly not obvious to me that one is good and the other is not.
I always get scared when I accidentally have two shell sessions visible at once in tmux. I immediately exit one. I suppose I should read a bit on it.

This feels like a variation on Zawinski's Law: Every program attempts to expand until it can run python [read mail]. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

Or more broadly, the inner-platform effect. I'm left wondering "why would you use python within the lousy coding interface of excel, when Pandas already exists?"
I’m screwed then, because I hate handwriting.

For me, it’s slower, less legible, less archivable, less shareable, and harder on my hand muscles.

I only write in caps (to make it more legible), and if I have to write in cursive (which is almost never), it’s completely illegible.
Yes, the very moment they did this I was like "Why are you risking the Internet Archive with doing something this stupid?"

Their argument was there are enough physical copies in shuttered libraries to cover any lending and it's not impossible they could've gotten the publishers on board if they went public with the plan first urging for swift agreement instead of going for "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to get permission".

It simply cannot until China can be as seafaring as the US Navy and guarantee trade flows. Without guaranteed trade over the ocean, you'll see a more traditional alignment of vassal states and colonialism based on technology, geography, and ability to project/protect power.

I assume the characteristics would be pretty different, since your local hardware can keep the context loaded in memory, unlike APIs which I'm guessing have to re-load it for each query/generation?
> What is an "OAuth key"? Do you mean an OAuth token? No, Golden SAML is worse than stealing an OAuth token, because an OAuth token is valid for 1 user, but Golden SAML can be used to impersonate any user. Also, OAuth tokens expire, but Golden SAML doesn't expire (although if you steal an OAuth refresh token, that won't expire).

Stealing the OAuth token signing key, since then any fake OAuth tokens signed by it would be considered authentic.

Right, the ghost kitchens make (generally) terrible food, but are able to get orders by spamming the DoorDash/UberEats search pages. And if a particular brand gets too many bad reviews, no problem. Shut down and start a new one with another punny name.

Traditionally restaurants (like many software companies, incidentally) live and die by their "brand" and by their ability to get repeat customers. This more-or-less aligns incentives between the restauranteur and their patrons. But under the ghost kitchen model, there's no reputation, no real brand, so the restaurant is incentivized only to make food as quickly and cheaply as possible.
You're right. In fact, using EKS at all is silly when AWS offers their Bedrock service with Claude Haiku (rated #19 on Chat Arena vs. ChatGPT3.5-Turbo at #37) for a much lower cost of $0.75/M tokens (averaging input and output like OP does)[0].

So in reality AWS is cheaper for a much better model if you don't go with a wildly suboptimal setup.

With this, you get:

- Reproducibility (the official, bundled Excel numerical routines have/had errors greater than floating-point precision) which avoids the unprofessional look of, say, least squares numbers that differ from a check by hand.

- Version and environment control. This is the fastest way I can answer the question, "what would these new routines produce if run against last October's pool of databases?"

- A presentation format where client customizations for style, dimensional units and currencies, human language, etc. can all be owned outside of your project.

I try to sell this approach when I can. Is there a particular BI that strikes a better balance?
> One big factor is for performance reasons in shell scripts. At the time, the switch decreased boot times for Debian by 7.5%.

With only sampled traces though it’s very hard to understand the impact of the problem. There are some bad traces but is it affecting 5%, 10% or 90% of your customers. Metrics shine there.
This might be caused by mid-roll ads. Videos need to be 8 minutes long to qualify for those, and you want people to actually reach the ad.

AI generates bullshit. School writing assignments are "bullshit" in the sense that nobody wants to read the result. The goal is not to produce something novel, insightful, or interesting. The goal is to prove that you absorbed the material and were able to formulate a coherent response based on it.

The hope is that the student will eventually be able to write something that isn't bullshit. The AI will never produce anything other than bullshit, at least without a significant technological revolution. The AI can nonetheless deliver bullshit better than a child, despite the child having potential to eventually do better.
One difference is that you get to pick the optical equipment yourself instead of having to interoperate with whatever wdm scheme is deployed on the span.
