Jürgen Schmidhuber: Neural and Non-Neural AI, Reasoning, Transformers, and LSTMs [video]
Almost likely you would be found guilty because the intent matters. It is easy to check that the generated code is much similar to the original code, and you surely had a reason to bypass the original license. The exact legal reasoning would vary but any reasonable laywer would recommend you to do not.

In the historic Google v. Oracle suit, the only actual code that was claimed to be copied was a trivial `rangeCheck` function, but Google's intent and other circumstances like the identical code structure and documentation made it much more complicated, and the final decision completely bypassed the copyrightability of APIs possibly for this reason.
I'm guess they're referring to the illustration that's clearly attributed to Quanta's Visual Designer Kristina Armitage.

The illustration matches the tone and content of the piece, while also being visually consistent with her other Quanta illustrations. Seems like Ms. Armitage is only 2 years out of college, but is literally (illustratively?) crushing it [0].

Knee-jerk criticism like this in response to someone putting out heart-felt praise is so, so unnecessary. There's a time for putting down AI-assisted work, maybe, but this isn't it.

Right now AI is like a chissel. It's a very useful tool, but not useful for everything. Banging your head against the wall of capabilities will give you an intuition when you will pull this tool. Just like you learned how to use a search engine effectively over the last 20 years.

When you are familiar with LLMs, then a question from someone who doesn't use AI is very obvious. It's the same feeling you have when you roll your eyes and say "you could have googled that in 10 seconds".

It's either explaining code where you don't even know the lingo for or what the question could be. Or touching code with a framework you never used. Or tedious tasks like convert parts of text into code or json. Or sometimes your mind is stuck or drifts off. Ask AI for an idea to get the ball rolling again.

Yes, discovering what works and what doesn't is tedious and slower then "just doing it yourself". Like switching IDEs. But if you found a handful of usecases that solve your problems, it is very refreshing.
I think I started around 2009 and before that in slashdot, mostly lurking around. Then, using alt accounts, the internet back in the day taught you to never post real info about yourself, so it was lurking through RSS feeds.

I wrote a ton of custom code to do this for iommi (example: https://docs.iommi.rocks/en/latest/tutorial.html). I went further than any other library I've seen and made it so that the views in the examples produce static html files that are embedded in the resulting output via iframes.

And us plebs are still massively subsiding the food and drink of UK MPs and Lords. As well as paying their rent and loads of other expenses, on top of a pretty decent salary. Why should they get drunk at tax payers expense? Funny how austerity always affects the poorest, but doesn't touch the politicians.
Lots of comments about how murder is murder, no need to involve UX. I mean, yes, but it's still a good lesson in why UX matters.

Yes, hopefully the board that makes the decision will understand that. Or maybe improving Neon is what is meant there. There are certainly plenty of abandoned Linux distributions to demonstrate the folly of such thinking.
Of course I can, humans learn faster from far less data and don't hallucinate to the same extent. What they do is very likely similar to a part of what we do, but they're missing critical components and my feeling is not all of them (empathy and creativity for example) are even possible to replicate outside of a human experience.
In my opinion, in the case of the Linux kernel, Zig (once it reaches 1.0) would be a much better, more natural, and less painful choice than Rust.
Yeah that works too :)
There have always been both. But it has definitely changed. In ye olden days, the general vibe I felt and heard was, "I want to build something new and exciting and maybe it will become big." I still hear that today, but I hear a lot more of, : "I want a big exit, so I need to build something big, so I need to come up with an idea."
Podman supports this since quite a while with the krun variant of the crun runtime (https://github.com/containers/crun/blob/main/krun.1), provided in Fedora by the "crun-krun" package.

Just add "--runtime=krun" to your podman command line along the other arguments and you'll get the container running inside a VM powered by libkrun.
I've had a great experience using the IntelliJ plugin called CodeGPT (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/21056-codegpt). What I really like about it is that it allows you to bring your own API key for various providers like Anthropic and OpenAI.

Additionally, CodeGPT supports local LLMs, which can be useful if you're concerned about data privacy or want to work offline.

Nothing non-standard about it, and you can certainly convert existing code. But if you want to convert an app - as opposed to a framework - you should start with our template and move your code over. The Xcode app project file format is opaque, making it very hard to migrate, and we rely on it being set up in a certain way to be able to build for Android

France has taken a stance on the Israel/Palestine war that is well short of condemning Israel, but is still seen by them as hostile. I doubt they would cooperate in such a high-profile manner. If there is a political goal, it's more likely in order to help Ukraine.

It probably depends on what you mean by free will. People who disagree about determinism and/or compatibilism usually can’t agree on a common definition of free will either.

Your Einstein quote above doesn’t necessarily deny free will.
What they're getting at is that it probably would have been better if the Rust people had started their own kernel project, cherry-picked the pieces of Linux they wanted, and then made their own new thing without three decades of obsolete Unix/Linux baggage. This would mean they could spend their time actually writing software and and less time trying to convince a bunch of C programmers that their time is at an end and their influence is counterproductive.
"We" is workers and laborers of any sort, really.

Software engineers and other white collar professionals want to believe we have more in common with our CEO than we do with a plumber because we work in offices, but I'd bet most of the executive class, ownership class, boards of directors and such see us the same as plumbers: we're a necessary expense
But it is not much different from reading through badly documented codes without any comments or meaningful names. In fact, many codes to be minified are not that bad and thus it is often possible to infer the original code just from its structure. It is still not a trivial task, but I think my comment never implied that.
In today’s rapidly advancing technology landscape, the demand for network and communication systems experts is on the rise. Professionals looking to build a career in this field can gain a competitive edge and showcase their knowledge and skills by pursuing certifications
I'm pretty sure it was the online prostitution that started this, and according to what I can find, there are still prostitution related charges ahead, as well as convictions (and guilty pleas) by others. Remember, it was the nature of the ads that caused him to have to use bitcoin in the first place. Sort of like Capone getting jail on tax evasion lol

They did indeed charge him with the prostitution thing from what I've read, its just in the one trial the jury deadlocked on those counts. Whats more sus to me however is allegations that backpage "managers took an active role in editing ads in the adult section," this is not the way to even appear innocent of the prostitution charges.

I absolutely agree that backpage was more of an asset against trafficking, it makes sense that if you want to fight trafficking, backpage seemed at a superficial level to be able to help here, and obviously the sex business will just move elsewhere and with probably less visability. Its not like prostitution is going to stop, but I'm guessing it can be at least less of a nuisance. I'm certainly not the guy to campaign for a version of the morality police.

I'm just disagreeing with the "false prosecution" characterization thats all, I think it was a legit application of the law, although I'd rather see a more liberal handling of consenting sex between adults.

Localisation isn't the root cause because he'd probably have been stabbed regardless. If you walk into a room to apologise and 4 people attempt to kill you, it was not 1 poorly transcribed text message that was the problem.

> She showed the message to her father, who angrily called Ramazan and accused him of calling his daughter a prostitute.

This is the point where the father found out that the text message was a localisation error. If they were confused about his meaning when they tried to knife him then the root cause was his poor communication skills. Otherwise it was some unknown issue.
> Each individual has an obligation to be unobtrusive to those around them. Maybe society will reciprocate and provide support to the individual in return—the US certainly gives poor people more than poor people give society. But the obligation to society comes first.

That's asking a lot when people are living on the edge. In Les Misérables, Jean Valjean wasn't sent to prison for nothing: it was for stealing bread for his starving sister and her family.

(Yes, we can debate how many Americans are truly living on the edge — but everyone makes that judgment for themselves.)

I presume "by mainstream" means "by the mainstream press". If so, are you the mainstream press? Do you write for The Washington Post or The New York Times, or some such? Do you write or report for ABC or CBS or CNN or some such? If not, then what you personally can do does not invalidate the point.
Thank you very much for your kind and detailed reply!

Indeed, the closed-loop control was the initial idea which convinced me that it would be possible to build the mechanical parts by hand with common tools. In other words, the software "smartness" compensates for the mechanical "ugliness".

Another initial idea was to do multi-panels (several orientable panels) with a single camera looking at the target. Indeed, it's not easy, so I finally went back and decided to finish and release something with a single panel.

Nevertheless, I have some ideas to do multi-panels with a few more cameras. I would like to work on them in the near future.

Thank you for all the references, I will spend time to explore them.

Take a look at https://screenity.io/en/, which is also fully open-source here: https://github.com/alyssaxuu/screenity

While a Chrome Extension (not a standalone app), it does a fabulous job of recording system audio and input, and also gives a ton of additional features like annotations, etc.

Records to localstorage, and lets you export to a variety of 3rd party platforms (I can't remember if S3 is supported OOTB, but that shouldn't be too hard).

I've used it mainly with GDrive, as most of our team lives there, so this has been a seamless way to store and share videos without lock-in at Loom.

I recommend this to most folks who need a quick way to replace Loom, and even meeting recorder tools.

Diabetes is a debilitating situation. A slow killer. It is an independent factor for both degenerative (Alzheimer's) and vascular dementia. I do not think any drug will be better than the disease itself.
On the other side, if we use a diabetes drug to cure dementia in non-diabetes patients, we might have a good result but with hypoglycemia as a side effect.
It is true that at least some jurisdictions do also explicitly allow for reverse engineering to achieve interoperability, but I don't know if such provision is widespread.

> The core language is described in about 500 pages, while the rest is taken up by the specification of the library.

For C that's a useful distinction because you actually can use the C language. The "freestanding" C's standard library is literally a bunch of type definitions and constants so you really do only get the language itself.

But in C++ like Rust the language doesn't work on its own, we must have an extensive library, parts of the one defined in the rest of the ISO document. So we can't just throw away the rest of the ISO document, we can argue about how much is still needed - probably the BLAS won't end up landing in freestanding for example, but lots of the stdlib is in fact part of the language wherever it's used.

Worse, we're not even talking about a freestanding environment, FreeBSD base is userspace, this software has an Operating system (FreeBSD) and so the entire library is available, the grotty filesystem APIs, the regular expressions (FreeBSD core no longer has Perl, so, I guess it might be useful?) and whatever else is now "thrown in" with C++ on those other pages.

> First of all, having a specification and an ISO standard is good

No, it's expensive and it was good for Bjarne's ego but functionally it delivers negative value. We actually have practical examples where WG21 wrote a new document saying "C++ shall have feature X" and then the three compiler vendors who actually matter said "No, I don't think so" and sure enough C++ does not have feature X. Does your C++ have a garbage collector? No? But WG21 standardized garbage collection, so why not? Because no compiler implemented it.

> [...] But fine, let's talk again in 10 or 20 years and see how non-standardised Rust's doing.

Rust is almost ten. Rust 1.0 was over nine years ago. Time flies doesn't it? There's no value in a "standard" for Rust, and indeed C++ handily illustrates that. A specification is useful, and work towards that is ongoing.

> Thirdly, one doesn't have to learn the language comprehensively to be productive

But then what does "properly" even mean? The person that was told they ought to learn "properly" is in fact productive so...

> That's why many developers wisely skip both and why I prefer to invest my time in Python and Go instead of CPP-but-with-memory-safety.

Both Python and Go are growing languages. Because Python 3 was such a nightmare and yet they managed to "forget" lots of the fixes they'd intended, the Python developers just decided that it's OK to ship incompatible language changes in minor versions now, so, make sure you're running that Python 3.11 code on Python 3.11 and not Python 3.12 (too new) or Python 3.10 (too old) or else it might malfunction.

For a while Go had this idea of a "Go2" but then since Go was successful they decided they'll just fold new features into Go, you can expect that to continue, albeit more steadily than the breakneck pace of C++.
This is neat, although I have a word of caution (even if it might be a bit obvious): it's possible to find good deals, but you should be aware of power usage. There are modern mini PCs, such as those with Intel N100 processors, that are very cheap and consume very few watts while being useful for many purposes. I personally bought a brand-new CHUWI LarkBox X, and it's been great. It cost around 100 EUR on a deal. If however power usage isn't an issue for you and you don't care about other misc stuff (noise levels etc) then you can disregard this.

How do I switch? My TVs only have HDMI, should I spend another 5K+ to buy DP TVs?
Dismissing claims that LLMs "reason" because these machines perform no actions similar to reasoning seems pretty motivated. And I don't think "blindly take input from a reasoning capable system" counts as reasoning.
Sounds like it'd be a useful avenue for closing a major (non-code) problem with the software. :)
region can help but Item Location is the important one
You think that’s bad? Try tanning bed control equipment.
HDMI is ruling because of momentum and ubiquity in the tv room.

No device output in DP, no device accepts it, so no pressure on device to accept/output it. I guess the license price is low enough.

On computers, it sort of evolved where DVI was, you get mort port, you get better feature set, it's just superior.

But in the non-tech market I think the "real" fight will end up being hdmi vs usb-c, both of them are evolving to the point where they feed everything ethernet included. HDMI has ARC and waayyyy simpler cable and port compatibility (one version to check), usb-c has power output and every single pocket device and laptop/tablet/...

Your setup process is aligned with my industry experience (15+ years).

As for an installation script - I agree that is a big effort. ROI depends on frequency of the onboarding process. 10+ people per week? It might make sense. 3-4 people per year, not so much.

Smooth onboarding is a feature, not a baseline. Great onboarding takes consistent time, effort and energy to create and maintain.

Ensure that you have a predictable time to complete the onboarding. 1 day, 3 days, 2 weeks, etc. Time to complete onboarding should be very predictable and consistent.

Use relevant measures to reduce onboarding duration. Example: our developers need to install Oracle database on their Windows machine - normally it takes several hours to complete this step. We found that the Docker setup for Oracle can be completed in less than one hour.
Interesting, not sure what's going on there then.. how recently was your system installed? Maybe they have updated the pinout on newer models? I'll go back and check though.
