But the government/EU does seem to have those rights. The EU citizens could perhaps decide to remove those rights, but so far they have not. Societies have a lot of freedom in how they organise themselves.
> Educate them and their parents. Children need to learn how to manage trust with strangers in the offline and online world anyway and the internet doesn't change that.

I'm not sure this is even possible. I understand children are smart but I don't think they are this smart. We can educate children to be cautious but i don't think we should expect them not to get out witted by an adult.
No I'm saying this is a frankly stupid argument to make. Crypto has almost a century of financial crimes, history, and policy to draw on. The fact that they're stepping on the same rakes despite them being labeled is a point against the entire sector. Anyone smart enough to build an alternative financial system is probably doing more legitimate work in the actual financial sector, leaving crypto to 29 year old geniuses who barely understand they're running ponzi schemes.

You're arguing that we should try out this new, unregulated, and terrible alternative financial system that seems to only be filled with such trustworthy people as scam artists, terrorists, drug dealers, and war criminals because a system designed before computers existed sucked ass. Your audacity is shocking.

Xbox, Nintendo's various consoles, and Sony's are all DRM'd to hell and back. If BSD wasn't available under terms Sony liked, they'd be using QNX or something more obscure and just as inaccessible to their users. For better or worse, all the big console manufacturers see their ability to lock down their platform as vital to their development and business strategies. Vital to their ability to charge $60 for a few gigabytes of 1s and 0s.

The Playdate console seems a lot friendlier to developers and end users alike, but that's precisely because they're a smaller player in the market and need that advantage. Same dynamic played out with drivers for SCSI controllers, and GPUs under Linux, where the biggest players were the last to provide quality open source support. Seems to have a lot more to do with market position than with licenses, to me.
It's definitely massively profitable for Nvidia...
Are classical machine learning techniques that don't involve neural networks / DL not considered "learning-based systems" anymore? I would argue that even something as simple as linear regression can and should be considered a learning-based system, even ignoring more sophisticated algorithms such as SVMs or boosted tree regression models. And these were in use for quite a while before the ImageNet moment, albeit not with the same level of visibility.

Building something that replicates the abilities of the average human being in no way implies that this eventually leads to a superintelligent entity. And my broader point was that many people are using the term AGI as synonymous with that superintelligent entity. The concepts are very poorly defined and thrown around without much deeper thought.

> Are you aware that we have been using that term for at least 60 years?

Yes, and for the first ±55 of those years, it was largely limited to science fiction stories and niche areas of computer science. In the last ±5 years, it's being added to everything. I can order groceries with AI, optimize my emails with AI, on and on. It's become exceptionally more widespread of a term recently.

> It is a bit like claiming that third world low productivity countries are suffering because there are countries with much much higher productivity.

No. A country has its own territory, laws, central bank, currency etc. If it has sufficient natural resources to feed itself, it can get by on its own (North Korea comes to mind).

Individuals unable to compete in their national economy have none of that. Do you own enough land to feed yourself?

Would they? Even if this act makes them recycle less litter than they already do (recycling isn’t a fulltime activity), I don’t think it’s impossible they make people create less litter to such an extent that it dwarfs the amount of litter they could have recycled in the time this action cost them.

My 20GHz one with the 8341B is very, very, very drifty for the first couple of hours after powerup (i.e. a good load goes from -60dB to about -15dB half an hour after calibration), but I'm not sure whether it's normal or something up.

Suspect the real purpose is a form of personal marketing. It's going to end up chock full of resume-style "I am a bright and receptive person, able to communicate well with people at all levels. I use my own initiative and I am flexible in my approach to work duties" boilerplate.

Anyone who provides useful information, eg "I'm at my best in the mornings, try to catch me then, oh and dumb down the technical language a bit" is, frankly, a moron.
Yet the wealthy have very large bank accounts and own an awful lot of financial assets.

It's control of the annual pie that's the key, not a sitting on a pile of gold like Smaug.

It sounds like a real use case, but possibly quite overkill to use an LLM.

Reddit is blocked in Indonesia because of its reputation for porn. I've lived in Indonesia for four years. It's mildly annoying to do a Google search, see anything from Reddit, and have to fire up a VPN to read it.

Many ordinary people in Indonesia browse porn on Twitter because porn sites are blocked by ISPs. Most people who browse Twitter porn on cellphones in Indonesia can't afford to sign up for a fee-required VPN.

A few years ago I might have felt upset that blocking access to Twitter limits awareness of controversies around human rights, corruption, or over-development. Now I see activists and opinions on Instagram so maybe Twitter is no longer so useful as a public forum. And any forum can now be polluted and manipulated.

Last month Elon Musk was on stage with various government ministers at the World Water Forum in Bali announcing government authorization of StarLink for Internet access in Indonesia. I wonder if the license requires StarLink to limit access to banned sites including Elon's own X. How are they handling that?

I think John Gilmore's statement that "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" is becoming more wishful than factual.
> can do multiple high resolution virtual displays

In most applications, it then would need to compete on price with multiple high resolution displays, and undercut them quite significantly to break the inertia of the old tech (and other various advantages - like not wearing something all day and being able to allow other people to look at what you have on your screen).
Is there any good article on NT internals (that isn't Russinovich' book), that highlight where/how it is better than Linux and other *BSDs?

When asked people point to IOCP vs epoll, but I'm not sure how relevant it is now that Linux has io_uring.

(They also point to stable ABIs for drivers, but I am more interested in internals)
The finer the resolution, the more narrow the scanner path is (and in any case satellite scanner paths aren't that wide, also for low-resolution optical scans). The Umbra satellite swath is a tiny 4km wide. And then along-track as well.

The total area a radar satellite (or an optical one) can scan at any particular time is very limited. A satellite, even multiple ones, will only see an airliner if it happens to be in the right spot at the right time.

I've yet to see a mouse write even mediocre python, let alone a rap song about life in ancient Athens written in Latin.

Don't get me wrong, organic brains learn from far fewer examples than AI, there's a lot organic brains can do that AI don't (yet), but I don't really find the intellectual capacity of mice to be particularly interesting.

On the other hand, the question of if mice have qualia, that is something I find interesting.

I do understand that some citizens are "fighting" Apple by supporting this legislation. Doesn't change the argument though.
Oh, this is the origin of the recent HN traffic. Thanks for the shoutout! I started this six years ago during boring university lectures to get better at Web dev. Now I get on average 50 users per month; it's nice to see when others enjoy it.
Third plot twist: not only the choice will echo for decades, it will echo for hundreds of years.
On one hand it was obvious, Apple surely did see it coming and decided to play the dumb strategy instead, so I'm so glad the EU didn't just give up. That would have been an horrible precedent from all perspective. And this is opening the way to the other legislation to pass reasonably close requirements (e.g. Japan) without undue burden on Apple.

On the other hand, I understand the process isn't supposed to be fast, but as a consumer it looks like it takes so much time. At least the regulators are willing to hint at where the discussion will be going instead of keeping it secret for a year just for an effect of surprise. If the dust settles in three years, I get the feeling the market will have half moved on to the next big thing and Apple will already have ripped most of their transgressions' benefits.

On the third hand, I can't deny some amount of schadenfreude looking at Apple having to deal with the same "do the work first, we'll judge if it meets our review standard afterwards" treatment as they do to developers.

PS: the weirdest part to me is, looking at this year's WWDC lack of bigger features, it's obvious Apple had to use significant resource to deal with the EU requirements, the APIs for alternate browsers for instance didn't come by magic. And obviously the replacement of the default apps on the lock screen is also in line with the DMA.

Why then play it dumb when it costs them so much to do needless back and forths.
While we have a strong grasp of the fundamental algorithms and architectures that power generative LLMs, there are many nuances, emergent behaviors and deeper technical details about their behavior, generalization, and internal decision-making processes that we do not fully understand.

To a first approximation, I expect companies to spend nothing on AI and get put out of business if they are in a sector where AI does well. Over the medium-long term the disruption looks so intense that it'll be cheaper to rebuild processes from the ground up than graft AI onto existing businesses.

> The advantages of a language that is memory safe in practice and also heavily favors correctness in general boosts productivity tenfold in the long term.

Does it though? There are many languages that fit this description, you would choose Rust if for some reason you also need good performance. However, if you heavily interop with C/C++ safety goes out the window anyway, and it probably never mattered much in the first place.

In 2024, all of the above except “fed” occur at least partially over the Internet. Ignoring your child’s time spent online is like being the oblivious parents in an urban fantasy story who don’t realize their kids are slipping off to have adventures in the fae realm every night.

>You hear this kind of thing constantly, but it's such an absurd claim. Imagine being a property owner and having two choices: (a) having a property you own accrue value over time, and (b) the exact same thing as before, but also getting paid hard cash by renters. And the claim is somehow that you will, because of your landlord greed (?!) take the door with less money.

Maybe? I vaguely reading somewhere that some NYC commercial landlords would rather keep a building empty after the pandemic rather then lower the rents.

IIRC part of the reason was because the building's possible rental income was used as part of building's valuation. The higher the potential income, the higher the valuation is, and looking more attractive as collateral on a loan. Hence the problem being that if they did lower the actual rent, it would lower the building's valuation and negatively impact whatever loans they had using the property as leverage. More so then any loss of any rental income.

No idea how true it is, seems a little ponzi like for me, and eventually you do need to come up with some sort of income if nothing else to make interest payments. On the other hand I don't know enough about financial world to say otherwise, so it could be very well true.

No, what you're saying is that a circle has "evolved" into a square but it's it's fine to still call it a circle. Of course it isn't.

Again, it seems obvious you do not understand what socialism vs capitalism means, as explained before and for the reasons explained before, as your latest comment is not apt at all and besides the point. I would nicely suggest you have a good read at the Wikipedia pages in English, which look less manipulated that the ones in French (more scrutiny?), or even Marxist stuff if you are up to. Enjoy!
I somehow managed to lose money because I'm an idiot. I bought a thatched house in Offaly in 2019. Then I lost insurance (like many other thatched home owners in Ireland since the last insurer stopped writing policies) and the house became uninsurable and unmortgageable. Took a huge loss on it and moved to the Netherlands, where it's still possible to get insurance on thatched homes (though I sure as hell will never have one again).

Good riddance.
