As a photographer I'm hoping this goes in a direction where any photographers who look at my work owe me a percentage of their future profits, since they've trained their wetware model on my IP.
It is popular because the devs posted that they were blackmailed by DEI consultants, and it blew up since most people are also fed up with it.
Another wild-ass guess is that a lot of garbage may be generated? I had to use an intranet site that was developed on an older version of vue, and that version apparently was a profligate allocator; difference between chromium and firefox was stark.

On an only-slightly-related note, if anyone knows how to use the new firefox profiler when there is no internet access, please point me at it.
Huh. Three downvotes for a fairly innocuous post. People here must really dislike the Spawn comic books.
Note: The metric discussed is workers. Not hours. Not full-time workers. Just workers. It also makes no mention of any seasonal adjustments.
I also live in a large city, in TX, so I most definitely had regular exposures.

Whether asymptomatic or not infected at all seems like a distinction without a difference. Either way I didn’t miss work, vacations, or get noticeably harmed. The whole point of my strategy was to expose my immune system to germs it was well equipped to fight off quickly and expose it continuously so I didn’t encounter it after it had mutated too much to be recognized.

I’m well aware of the pitfalls of anecdata, I just thought my approach was different enough from what most people did to be worth sharing. There will be no studies to test my strategy, so all we can have is my anecdotes.
Or, you build "highly specialized functionality" for multiple media / file systems, use them accordingly, and merge the results.

Sometimes when you see things split up to what seems like an excessive degree it's because it can make the code more testable. It's not always the case that you split up a function for the purposes of "re-use" but that you might start by writing a thing that takes input X and transforms it to output Y, and write a test for lots of different inputs and outputs.

Then you write a function that gets some value that one might feed into this function from source Z, and separately test that function.

Then you create another function that reacts to a user event, and calls both functions.

And if a codebase is doing reasonably complicated things sometimes this can result in having to track through many different function calls until you find the thing you're actually looking for.

Sometimes it's also auto generated by an IDE or a framework as boilerplate or scaffolding code, and sometimes it's split up in a seemingly irrational way in one part of the code because you are actually using the same function you wrote somewhere else, so in your case of "4 interface functions" what you might find is that there is a function somewhere that accepts TypeA and that TypeA is a specialisation of TypeB and that TybeB implements InterfaceD.

Or maybe you're just reading some shitty code.

Either way lots of stuff that can look kind of dumb turns out to not be as dumb as you thought. Also lots of stuff that looks smart sometimes turns out to be super dumb.

In conclusion: yes.

No, it doesn't matter whether a computer converted or to a JPEG or a human.

The method and actor are irrelevant.

The only relevant part is the result.

Is the resulting JPEG transformative?

To put the question in context, I'll preface by saying that Skip is unique among cross-platform app development solutions in that it isn't imposing an "alien" language or runtime on your app. It uses Swift on iOS, and Kotlin on Android, which are both the first-class recommended development languages for the respective devices. Any translation limitations can always be overcome by branching on the platform/language you are using, and just writing custom code for the platform in question.

That being said, while we have good translation coverage at both the lower levels (Foundation to the Android SDK) and higher levels (SwiftUI to Jetpack Compose), there are many Apple frameworks that we simply don't have any compatibility frameworks for yet. One commonly-request example is maps: we don't have anything that takes the MapKit API and converts into the Google Maps equivalent. However, this doesn't prevent you from implementing it yourself. For a simple example, see the Travel Bookings sample demo at 2:15 at https://skip.tools/tour/skip-showreel/, where you can see how you can drop MapKit and Compose Maps inline into your code.

As time goes on, Skip's community ecosystem of compatibility frameworks will grow and expand. But until then, there aren't any barriers to simply implementing them yourself.
It’s clients all the way down. ;)
lol. “realizing”? This is not the coalface of class warfare. How dramatic.
Linus the guy who was against debugger and source control. He is dealing with long time C users working on a C project that just recently has allowed Rust, many work for companies that dont use Rust.

Meanwhile Oxide is building a whole datacenter infrastructure in rust including firelmware, network kernel models and store subsystems, hyperwiser userlabnds in or on Illumos. And say almost universially possitive things.

The people who make cosmic also sell laptops with Rust written firmware. Some of them also develop Redox OS, a Rust OS. They in general love it.

But I guess because mass adoption in Linux hasnt happen it will be impossible to create a new popular UI toolkit.

Gtfo.
Yes, they likely contracted with a third-party development firm to build the app. They didn't pay or even think about optimization. They also didn't think about maintenance. Its likely that they will issue another request for bid when it is time to do another version and the next bid winner will build a new app that is even crappier.
You may not get fired, but how long could you survive without a raise? Not long. Any raises they give are about 0.01%. The benefits aren't extraordinary in any sense. In fact, they don't give a pension, whereas even a local government does.

> having guards, and the different approach to conditionals seemed to do away with most of the pitfalls usually "safeguarded from" by the caution tape and excessive road signage of type systems

It doesn’t seem that way to me at all. The main pitfall static typing guards me from is runtime errors that can be easily avoided, guards don’t really help there.

If I do

def double(num) when is_number(num) do
num * 2
end

I could have some call double(“4”) in my code somewhere, and if that’s reached it would throw a FunctionClauseError and crash the process. I don’t want to be able to do that, I want the compiler to scream at me when I write double(“4”) and not let me do it, the guard is doing nothing of the sort.
The problem here is that authoritarian and Western governments might request the data about opposition activists under excuse of being "drug dealer suspect". For example, what if US requests data on Snowden or Assange?
Whoever s/he is, ravenstine couldn't possibly be worse than the world's current crop of leaders. It's not a bad idea; perhaps just make it a limited 5-year (or 10-year, or whatever) term, so that if the power goes to his/her head, the damage will be limited.
What often baffles me is the "buy a whole bunch of things on credit", and then get laid off and have not a penny left.

I've seen stories of actors in Hollywood banking $15M from a movie, buying all sorts of property with mortgages, boats, cars, all on credit, then losing it all due to default without that next movie.

This is purely by convention though. There really isn't anything that all that unique about being a street general police officer that would lend itself to being a detective. It's all survivorship bias because criminal detectives were all cops so of course they all say you have to be one first.

Reality is outside of criminal investigation you have plenty of professions and people who conduct the same thing. Everything from auditing, insurance fraud, to a financial analyst even actually does the same "thing" but just in different domains.

It's a great example with the problem with our system. Why do detectives need to be gun-toting paramilitary and uniformed employees backed by use of force? They don't. We could just as easily have unarmed, non uniformed detectives who solve cases and then issue arrest warrants for specialized uniformed police officers to conduct arrests.

OpenAI is absolutely a misleading name because they have lax policies on human inputs (stealing everyone’s IP and not even letting you truly delete your account) but then turn around and say “developing models that compete” (vague as fuck) on OpenAI chatbot outputs is “illegal, harmful, or abusive” (if it is, they only act like it when it benefits them)

I guess they’re trying to call out OpenAI more than group them with Meta
They need more than two or three bucks to run a lab.

The blog post talks about DNS glue records, but are they really relevant to the issue if the domain is suspended? A suspended domain is a suspended domain, regardless of whether it's using vanity nameservers.
The Skip transpiler runs locally on every build. It is implemented as an Xcode build plugin, so it is transparent and instantaneous. Every change you make to the Swift code is immediately converted into Kotlin, so each time you launch the app in the iPhone Simulator, the Android app will launch next to it in the Android Emulator. For a good overview of this process, take a look at: https://skip.tools/tour/skip-showreel/
I mean, humans can absolutely run afoul of IP protections because of that already.
I suspect there's more going on. Why is the search index consuming multiple GBs? And why does that seem to grow unconstrained? I can only imagine what ancient code may live in that feature.
I remember sometimes getting a bright flash on the screen, after which it took about a second to go back to its normal geometry, if an ancient CURSOR magazine program briefly set the "killer bit" to be able to run some code quickly. On those ancient first generation PETs, the killer poke just caused video noise if left on, by removing the "avoid writing screen memory while the display hardware is reading it" lockout.

On middle generation PETs - the dynamic RAM, pre-6845, small screen ones, the POKE did nothing.

It was the later, big screen PETs - both 40 and 80 column - that were vulnerable. It seems the POKE - which set an input pin to output - actually prevented the vertical deflection from operating. I can see that frying something if left on for a while.

This is all from memory so some of the details may be wrong. It was known, but not considered a big deal. But were there a lot of consumer sales of PETs anyway? They seemed to be more of an institutional (school) machine. Consumers really got into it with the VIC20 and of course the C64 later.
FWIW...

Morello boards are hard to come by, but there have been efforts to offer cloud-computing style use of them, especially now that bhyve support exists; if you're interested I can try to find out more (I'd offer you time on my cloud-computing Morello cluster from MSR, but it's offline for silly reasons). The "Big CHERI" RISC-V FPGA boards are indeed quite expensive, but CHERIoT-Ibex runs on the Arty A7 or the purpose-built Sonata board, and those are much more reasonable. (I'd still love to see it brought up on cheaper boards, too...)
What the hell, has everyone caught and gone gung-ho on censorship? What the actual f*** is this?

How in the hell do you have the balls or ovaries to ban the creator --for something so inane. It's like a highscool supe who gets no respect and will at every chance show you the little power she has in such a classless way. So utterly petty defying belief.

I hope those dweebs get voted out pronto. That's an absurd abuse of power.

People who trip like that have no business having any power or control.
> are suppression files ever actually used due to an actual false positive,

There used to be one in LuaJIT because it had an optimized string comparison that compared outside of the allocation (which is allowed by the OS as long as you don't cross a page boundary, which LuaJIT's allocation algorithm made sure it never did)

The suppression was removed in https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/commit/ff34b48ddd6f2b3bdd26... when the string hashing got a new implementation

I suspect not. Pi is known to be irrational, and repeating sequences are known to be rational. So pi cannot be truely repeating.

That may be what you mostly care about, but it is definitely not true in deciding legal questions.

Now you just have to legally draw that line. Legally, a company is a person too. Lately in Malaysia, we've been redefining a lot of laws to cover "natural persons" (aka humans) because what would happen is that companies would steal money and other unethical things, and the company would be blamed for such actions instead of the humans running them.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, it's a reasonable argument. If a human did a JPEG compression by hand, that wouldn't be fair use, would it?
The original reporting has more details: https://www.developer-tech.com/news/judge-dismisses-majority...

In particular this:

An amended version of the complaint had taken issue with GitHub’s duplication detection filter, which allows users to “detect and suppress” Copilot suggestions matching public code on GitHub.

The developers argued that turning off this filter would “receive identical code” and cited a study showing how AI models can “memorise” and reproduce parts of their training data, potentially including copyrighted code.

However, Judge Tigar found these arguments unconvincing. He determined that the code allegedly copied by GitHub was not sufficiently similar to the developers’ original work. The judge also noted that the cited study itself mentions that GitHub Copilot “rarely emits memorised code in benign situations.”

I think this is the key point: reproduction is the issue, not training. And as noted in the study[1] reproduction doesn't usually happen unless you go to extra lengths to make it.

Finland was absolutely part of the West, despite its non-aligned status.

It was definitely not "third world", and you aren't even using the term correctly. As Wikipedia explains:

In the Cold War, some European democracies (Austria, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, and Switzerland) were neutral in the sense of not joining NATO, but were prosperous, never joined the Non-Aligned Movement, and seldom self-identified as part of the Third World.

Changing from png to jpeg is a copy (albeit lossy) - which is the exact kind of thing that copyright is designed to protect against.

If you took a pen and paper and traced over an image that's also a copy, even though you used a human.

Saying that Generative AI is a compression algorithm shows a lack of understanding of the issues and technology at play.
I don't know any .net, and have never heard of this until now. Only stories with comments on HN are from eight years ago. Although I liked the screenshots on the linked site, it doesn't seem to have much buzz around it.

And unfortunately, the only stench I can't stand more than Google's is Microsoft's.
Its always fun to see a AI copyright thread on HN - the same people that want copyright abolished suddenly want the strongest copyright ever to exist.
I don't read their articles but they are likely still relevant. Gaming platforms (steam, ps, etc) usually doesn't offer much to publishers for marketing beyond the basics. My guess is that you end up working with influencers and larger review sites with varying success.

That's only mostly true; Big CHERI (that is, the 64-bit CHERI systems, not CHERIoT) specifically has support for running legacy binaries within capability confinement. It's true that we think recompiling is generally the better approach, but we can sandbox pre-CHERI libraries, for example, at library-scale granularity.
i don't think debian developers are actually prohibited from becoming employees of the vendor, but i think that if they get caught pushing malware, their dd status is likely to be revoked, and the process that allowed them to become dds is likely to be reviewed. any dd can generally push a change to any debian package to the archive; it's a major level of trust. that's why it's generally not realistic to try to get one of your employees to become a dd

> I was watching a WW2 documentary yesterday and learned Nazi Germany’s encryption had already been (mostly) cracked by the time they entered the war, which (don’t quote me) significantly influenced the outcome of the war.

The Poles had broken Enigma before the outbreak of war (1945-09-01) with the help of intelligence from France. Bletchley Park used computers to speed up the process of going through the messages.[0]

It has been remarked that 'cracking Enigma shortened the war by X years',[1] so for some people this could be considered "significantly influenced".

However, after reading Engineers of Victory by Paul Kennedy:

> Kennedy recounts the inside stories of the invention of the cavity magnetron, a miniature radar “as small as a soup plate,” and the Hedgehog, a multi-headed grenade launcher that allowed the Allies to overcome the threat to their convoys crossing the Atlantic; the critical decision by engineers to install a super-charged Rolls-Royce engine in the P-51 Mustang, creating a fighter plane more powerful than the Luftwaffe’s; and the innovative use of pontoon bridges (made from rafts strung together) to help Russian troops cross rivers and elude the Nazi blitzkrieg. He takes readers behind the scenes, unveiling exactly how thousands of individual Allied planes and fighting ships were choreographed to collectively pull off the invasion of Normandy, and illuminating how crew chiefs perfected the high-flying and inaccessible B-29 Superfortress that would drop the atomic bombs on Japan.

* https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/91616/engineers-of-...

I think there were more important developments than cracking Enigma, as influential as that could have been.

If we're talking about codes, then I think the Americans breaking the Japanese ones was more important: the US would have won regardless just because of industrial output, but the intercepts allowed things like being able to predict Midway and being able to take out Yamamoto had more meaningful operational results than what was gained out of Ultra, IMHO.

In the European theatre, I think the Merlin engine was much more critical to the outcome of the war (especially in the Battle of Britain), and the cavity magnetron was more important in the Battle of the Atlantic (along with re-learning to use convoys, like was done in WW1).

[0] Bletchley Park broke other codes, like Lorenz; see William "Bill" Tutte.
