I didn't think NZ was part of that treaty in 2012 when this all went down?

LLMs for structured input validation
There are several examples of structured outputs from LLMs; however, I'd like to use an language model to see if a given document / pdf adheres to a set template. Are there any good examples of this input validation use-case?

If the input doc / text doesn't adhere to the specific template, I'd like LLMs to point our the inconsistencies.

The language server story in Elixir has always been lagging behind other languages, ElixirLS has been workable but nothing to write home about.

I've had some time to use Lexical recently (one of the alternative LS mentioned) and it's considerably snappier compared to ElixirLS, but it didn't have feature-parity, understandably.

This is really great news.
Have they exhausted all other options? They've attacked public spaces, events, and infrastructure, targetted artwork and ancient monuments, but have they actually targetted the causes they are protesting against in any way, or even the politicians that have the power to effect the changes they want to see?
It's really not though.

Although NZ has agreements with Aus and the US, you'll find on the ground that kiwis are actually not super fond of the US.

We won't let US nuclear ships into our waters, and we actually have quite a good relationship with China.

NZ is also quite self sufficient in many ways and so far from other countries that it's fairly sheltered from potential conflict.
They could form a new political party or join an existing one and take part in the democratic process.

Hmm, looking into it myself, it looks not generalizable, short of searching for the document title and hoping you get lucky. This wasn’t a direct paywall bypass.

It looks like this is actually just a version of the document published a different way.

> USA can't tax non-citizens. Revoke citizenship if you really don't want to pay. That comes with a lot of downsides though (no more US passport, no getting rescued by the US if you wander into North Korea, etc), which implies the taxes aren't for nothing just because you live out-of-country.

The USA can, and does, tax non-citizens. Many countries tax non-citizens. Go out and buy a foreign stock-they will tax you on earnings or dividends. Go visit a country and pay the local sales tax.
It’s all aesthetic experiences. Some people care, so it matters.

I know what you’re getting at and the world you want to live in. Listen, why do people care if some story they read was written by a bot, for example? The people reading Reddit’s top creative writing venues (AITA comes to mind) clearly don’t know and don’t care. But many people do care. It’s arbitrary. It’s just aesthetic. Nobody needs this stuff, nobody needs Fediverse or ActivityPub.

> So I guess what you are saying is that the business model is that cloud vendors will buy a license, but only if they they want to make changes to the code, but not release those changes.

That, or the cloud vendor does not buy a license and uses it anyway, with or without changes. And existing customers of the originator continue to be their customers, rather than switching to become customers of the cloud vendor instead.

> So not just small changes, big changes that have a significant value-add, and not easily replicated. It assumes cloud vendors will want to start building a business on top of this critical dependency.

It doesn't assume that, it defends against issues caused by that.

> It doesn't sound like a great deal for the cloud vendor.

Exactly! But that's the point.

> I assume we are really only talking about Amazon, Microsoft and Google, and the developer hopes to just get bought rather than messing around with licenses.

The canonical case is where the original author does want to sell licenses and/or support and/or development contracts to various random companies, most of them not giant cloud companies. They do not want to be acquired. Their customers are most likely also customers of some large cloud company, and the original author most of all does not want to compete with the cloud company. The author will want the software to work well in the context of a cloud offering, and will not want their version to work worse than the cloud company's own version. If a big cloud company comes up with a way to make the software work better when using their cloud, then the original author wants to incorporate that improvement, preferably alongside improvements made by or for the other big cloud companies.

But you are correct about the importance of selling something, whether it is a license or support or development services. As a sibling comment to yours mentions, that's where the CLA (contributor license agreement) stuff comes in, where in order to be able to sell a proprietary license, they need to own all the code. This is where it can get ugly. Not everyone wants to hand over ownership of changes they make, so that the originator can make money off of them. And nobody has to. The AGPL only forces people to make their changes available, not to give them away; it's up to the originator to make people want to get their changes upstream.

Sorry for being off topic, but what is going on with the timestamps of this paper?

The latest version (version 2) has 2018-05-28 as the date above the abstract, but it was added to arxiv on 2014-12-15. Version 1 has the date 2022-05-18, but was added to arxiv on 2010-10-29. I briefly skimmed the .tex source file, but I couldn't find any explanation of the date in there. Did someone mess with the clock on the build server?
I haven't been following this as closely as I maybe should have, but I'm a bit confused why Google's app store would be broken up as a monopoly but Apple's wouldn't, especially when Android allows sideloading?

I run a custom furniture startup. Without giving away too many details, it's niche furniture with high demand and low competition.

Can anyone help?

Or, is there some sort of software that can help?

Been using shared hosting for 20 years. It's easily easier than VPS.

Not sure what you mean by stripped off permissions. Yes, I'm not root, but most VPS providers don't give me root access either (at least not for cheap).

SFTP has always worked, and continues to do so.

Of course you need to understand UNIX permissions. You also need to understand what a directory is, what a file is, etc. It's not asking too much.

I've tried 3 different providers, and they all had SSH access. I've not heard of one that doesn't.

The only problems I had with PHP servers is that the admins are doing their job and removing old vulnerable versions. Which is a pain for me but it's why I pay them. The whole point of shared hosting is they're taking care of the zero day exploits for me.

Custom domains? Not sure what you mean. Every provider I looked at it made it painless to use.

Having a simple LAMP stack is dead simple to use (yes, as long as you know basic UNIX). VPS: I suddenly need to set up the web server, and manage DOS attacks, etc? And keep track of all the security vulnerabilities and keep upgrading? I don't want to deal with that pain. With shared hosting, I need to "fix" things less than once a year. My web apps happily work without my needing to log in.

With a VPS, I have to pay more only so that I have to do more work? No thanks.
I feel like the better positioning would be evals for voice agents. It seems just as challenging to figure out all the ways your system can go wrong, as it is to build the system in the first place. Doing this in a way that actually adds value without any domain expertise, seems impossible.

If it did, wouldn't all the companies with production AI text interfaces be using similar techniques? Now being able to easily replay a conversation that was recorded with a real user seems like a huge value add.

Well, if all of California's energy were produced by petrol (~13.1kWh/kg), it would consume about 900l per second. The F1 burns about 920l of RP1 fuel per second. And it has to bring its own oxidizer along for the ride.
No. That's the colloquial definition of formal. In mathematics, the word formal refers to something more specific: one or more statements written using a set of symbols which have fully-defined rules for mechanically transforming them into another form.

A formal proof is then one which proceeds by a series of these mechanical steps beginning with one or more premises and ending with a conclusion (or goal).

If Viacom can't figure out which of the videos it's own employees/contractors uploaded to YouTube how can Google be expected to police it?

> [1] in some cases employees of the entertainment firms had uploaded their companies' content to YouTube voluntarily ... Google argued that since Viacom and its lawyers were "unable to recognize that dozens of the clips alleged as infringements in this case were uploaded to YouTube" with Viacom's express authorization, "it was unreasonable to expect Google's employees to know which videos were uploaded without permission."

---

Afaik, the big difference between Mega and YouTube was that YT would remove the video. Mega instead had a system where it de-dup'd files so when a file was uploaded say ~10 times, all of those links were stored as a single file. So Mega would remove the link when requested but the 9 other links would still let you download that file.

I saw the "Bring Up the Bodies" stage show with Miles in London in 2014. Miles was very good, as was the show. I agree that Rylance was a bad choice for the part on the BBC. He doesn't look the part at all, plus I tend to find him very unexpressive as an actor. Po faced, wooden. The rest of the TV adaptation was excellent but, as the central character, Rylance ruined it for me. I'm finishing the "Mirror and the Light" just now (having re-read the previous two again). Great, great novels. Thank goodness she lived to complete them.

This is why you should look for software that calls itself "FOSS" or "Free Software" instead. Avoid CLAs at all costs as well. If the software is licensed under a GPL-like license without a CLA and has had significant contributions from multiple people, this relicensing rugpull is nearly impossible.

Maybe in reference to his political party which failed to gain any seats in parliament? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Party_(New_Zealand)
No political party which takes climate change seriously could possibly survive, much less maintain power within a democratic system. People don't want to give up their comforts and luxuries and standard of living, and business interests don't want to do anything to interfere with profits.

If it were possible to address this problem through the democratic process, it would have been done long ago, when it might have been possible to avoid disaster. Now the best we can hope for is damage mitigation, but even that requires sacrifices no government would dare even suggest. Democracy doesn't work when people don't care.

Lately I've been thinking about print-on-demand services that will make clothing

https://www.contrado.com/custom-made-skirts

or houseware sorts of stuff like

https://www.spoonflower.com/en/home-decor/bedding/sheet-set

some of which really counts as furniture such as

https://www.contrado.com/custom-vanity-stool

is this something like that?

In the case of clothing I have been thinking about how you can print some art on a sheet of fabric together with a sewing pattern and then have somebody cut on the lines and sew the garmet together. I think Contrado is much more sophisticated than other vendors who do similar things (another famous one has exactly one style of skirt in the inventory) but I am a little disappointed that most if not all of their clothing designs have a single size whereas if I was paying $120 for a dress shirt like they charge I'd expect it to be personalized based on more than one measurement. One way or another though they have some system that creates "plans" for making something based on user input and I think you need something like that.
No, the FSF specifically requires ownership transfer for GNU projects, so that they can do things like go after infringements in court, or relicense GNU projects to newer versions of the GPL unconditionally, e.g. when GPLv3 was released.

Ironically, CLAs like the one Google and Meta use for their projects on GitHub do not require ownership transfer -- only the rights to redistribute, because the prevailing Lawyer-brain belief is (roughly, to my understanding) that just assuming that right from the license itself isn't necessarily sound.

For licenses like Apache 2.0, assignment/ownership is a kind of irrelevant practical distinction because entities can just distribute proprietary versions anyway (and because it's not clear if you really agree to much more than e.g. Apache 2.0 implies), which is the prevailing worry people have. Most of the people here actually want GPL-style copyleft licenses along with some vague idea of a "communal project", even if they don't know it. Because that's the only way to achieve the practical desired outcome, where your code and contributions stay open and are difficult to "rework" in this way. The talk about CLAs and all the other stuff is irrelevant; it's a matter of the politics and composition of the project, not the exact legal words in the license.

> everyone that contributed, even if it's just a 1 line change

That depends on the jurisdiction. There is a concept called the "threshold of originality" in the US which states roughly that some obvious, trivial things just can't be copyrighted. Typofix patches that change "form" to "from" aren't meaningful enough to be given copyright, so you literally do not need to be consulted on the matter at all. It is not clear that simple bugfixes fit under this definition either for example, because they may be obvious. Realistically, I'd say there are very few contributions that are going to fit in 1 line while being original enough for copyright to apply. They could also just not include your patch too or rewrite it, in that case, so the "1 line" case is pretty much meaningless in practice.
That's pretty interesting. Thanks for the link.

Paywall... sigh
Oh hey, will you look at that.

In what should be a surprise to nobody, the courts do seem to eventually be coming around on this whole app store duopoly issue.

Remember, Apple + Google doesn't need to win a legal battle a single time. Instead, they need to win their legal battles every time. Else their duopoly will slowly get chipped away by rulings like this.

Sure, this one only effects Google. But perhaps the precedent could be used for future lawsuits. And if that doesn't work, well there is always the option of writing new laws.

What should be obvious to everyone though, is that the current app store situation is unsustainable and is likely to crack sooner rather than later.
He was contrasting them. He was pointing out that the logic of the previous post falls apart when applying it to more noble subjects.
Simple.

Apple never allowed side loading, from the beginning, even when they had 0.0% market share. This means it’s basically impossible to show that they have illegally acted to maintain a monopoly - when they didn’t change anything. Having a monopoly is not illegal - changing things to keep a monopoly, is.

This came up during Apple vs Epic. Did Apple change the rate to 50% when they had a monopoly? No. Did Apple retroactively ban a major app category? No. Did Apple add various fees and fines that weren’t there from the beginning? No. Did Apple force IAP, when this wasn’t initially required? No.

Android, on the other hand, had a time before the Play Store and before the heavier restrictions on sideloading…

There really isn't. Either you expend some resource to make it expensive to attack or you stake some resource so you have something to lose to prove you're not a bad actor. I've never seen anything more creative than this.
