Tying its online classified ads service Facebook Marketplace to its personal social network Facebook. This means that all Facebook users automatically have access and get regularly exposed to Facebook Marketplace whether they want it or not. The Commission found that competitors of Facebook Marketplace may be foreclosed as the tie gives Facebook Marketplace a substantial distribution advantage which competitors cannot match.

This is exactly what we're talking about. EU is basically saying that Facebook.com, just by having a marketplace feature is already breaking the law.

Unilaterally imposing unfair trading conditions on other online classified ads service providers who advertise on Meta's platforms, in particular on its very popular social networks Facebook and Instagram. This allows Meta to use ads-related data generated by other advertisers for the sole benefit of Facebook Marketplace.

Light on details.
The first time I heard about it was from an Onion headline about it: https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/
Few misc thoughts here:
- Lawyers want this all to work in Word.docx

- Many [ / most? ] law firms have a large, overly-complicated "doc database." These have Word plugins, and they're usually required to 'check-in' each version they prepare prior to sending out. This seems like a very natural point of attack for a dramatically superior git-esque solution.

- Most lawyers / firms have a massive distrust of cloud-hosted tools. I've heard "well, Google can read everything in Google Docs!" more times than I can count. Maybe the public is better educated now, but... maybe don't count on that.

- Toolset for bundling up *ALL* edits compiled by one side, having these "merged" and some sort of formal "approved to send" step would be huge.

- Please continue to track which person made every edit, when, and ideally, if said edit was "merged" and "approved to send" to counter-party.

- Over-invest in super easy UX & eye-candy: you're trying to overcome engrained use of a tool that's about as ubiquitous as the air we breath -- you're going to have to deliver 10x value, and ease-of-use will be critical for adoption. The current demo, and dragging links between boxes.... well, imho, perhaps not quite there yet.

- Finally, I've worked inside MSFT publishing docs & books, worked on hundreds of contracts in biz-dev & corp-dev & investment banking, and please let met state very clearly the need for this product is overwhelming. Please please please build this, and wish you all the luck in the world.

PS: Contractual.ly was pretty great. Wish it had caught more traction.

Happy hunting!
They have done a ton of advancement in AI. They also have to have the infrastructure to handle so many users. I feel like they fall squarely in the tech company world.
But this is how online advertising works.

AcmeShop can equally run ads on other companies 3D printers on Facebook.

And they can equally run ads on Google about Facebook Marketplace.
IANAL but isn't it going to be very hard for Jones to meaningfully profit from a podcast, or anything really?
The author seems to be suggesting that if you don't have time to fix even basic security bugs in a security project, you may want to consider archiving it and making sure people know your project is unmaintained?! I kind of agree with that because lots of businesses may be impacted by this kind of bug, and if they knew the project was no longer maintained effectively, they might have considered migrating elsewhere.
is it illegal to put that phrase? i don't think so. There are a lot of shops that includes that and they usually come with clearance needed.

Fair enough. I that case I don't understand what the formal definition of heritability. ( I could some time and understand it but that beside the point)

So what term would you use to describe individuals inheriting trait from their parents eg, skin color ? especially the colloquial term.

(and again aren't we veering way off topic?)

Edit/Addendum - I looked at the colloquial definition of heritability/heritable, I think I'm essentially correct: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heritability , https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heritable . You need not reply. I have a feeling that our discussion is missing the forest for the trees. (And yes you can have your gotcha moment)
Both ads put together really highlight how the current 'AI' marketing trend is just that.
I totally agree.

The neat thing about AI generated bash scripts, would be that the AI can comment their code.

So the user can 1) check if the comment for each step match what they expect to be done, and 2) have a starting point to debug if something goes wrong.
>I mean, is this worth the effort? Why?

It doesn't matter, it's the new hotness. Look at scrum, how shit it is for software and for devs, yet it's absolutely everywhere.

Remember "move fast and break things?" Everyone started taking that as gospel and writing garbage code. It seems the industry is run by toddlers.

at some extent I do agree with the point you're trying to make.

But unless you include pagination needs to be handled as well, the LLM will naively just implement the bare minimum.

> It’s still nice :)

This is the thing about the kind of free advertising so many on this site provide for these llm corpos.

I’ve seen so many comparisons between “ai” and “stack overflow” that mirror this sentiment of “it’s still nice :)”.

Who’s laying off and replacing thousands of working staff for “still nice :)” or because of “stack overflow”?

Who’s hiring former alphabet agency heads to their board for “still nice :)”?

Who’s forcing these services into everything for “still nice :)”?

Who’s raising billions for “still nice :)”?

So while developers argue tooth and nail for these tools that they seemingly think everyone only sees through their personal lens of a “still nice :)” developer tool, the companies are leveraging that effort to oversell their product beyond the scope of “still nice :)”.
I recently watched a team speedrun this phenomenon in rather dramatic fashion. They released a ground-up rewrite of an existing service to much fanfare, talking about how much simpler it was than the old version. Only to spend the next year systematically restoring most of those pieces of complexity as whoever was on pager duty that week got to experience a high-pressure object lesson in why some design quirk of the original existed in the first place.

Fast forward to now and we're basically back to where we started. Only now they're working on code that was written in a different language, which I suppose is (to misappropriate a Royce quote) "worth something, but not much."

That said, this is also a great example of why I get so irritated with colleagues who believe it's possible for code to be "self-documenting" on anything larger than a micro-scale. That's what the original code tried to do, and it meant that its current maintainers were left without any frickin' clue why all those epicycles were in there. Sure, documentation can go stale, but even a slightly inaccurate accounting for the reason would have, at the very least, served as a clear reminder that a reason did indeed exist. Without that, there wasn't much to prevent them from falling into the perennially popular assumption that one's esteemed predecessors were idiots who had no clue what they were doing.
It's great, I mostly get by with Tridactyl on the browser but there's the odd website that doesn't work well with it. Warpd does better than anything else at this job. I do have a keymap to get the pointer out of the way, warpd is quite scriptable.
The fees are still that high, even though the broker is from the landlord's side?

I wouldn't pay more than around $200 to have someone find me a tenant. Certainly not in landlord's market. It shouldn't be more than an hour or two of clerical work to talk to some people and sift through some applications.

So yeah, if landlords have to cash out for this, the broker racket in NYC is likely going to be fucked. Landlords are going to be sticker shocked; I don't see why they would be willing to paying four-digit figures in a market where tenants are not rare unicorns that have to be searched for high and low, and wooed.

Syndical – Your Medical Data, Always Ready to Fly
Syndical’s platform for frequent travelers and flight crews offers secure, AI-driven management of medical records. It includes real-time health monitoring, automated document translations, smart alerts for check-ups, and easy data sharing. Designed for maintaining health and regulatory compliance while traveling, it ensures medical data is readily accessible and protected.

We're still in the very early stages of development, but we'd love to hear your thoughts. The most exciting feature is the AI-powered data extraction and interpretation, which enables the creation of timelines and summaries. Additionally, we have the ability to automate the collection of medical data from any medical institution across the EU.
Your pictures weren't used to train AI models.

It takes a pretty smart person to do that. Which is pretty confusing.

How can such a smart person not not understand how all things that are possible are not all equally good?

The fact that both the compiler and you can parse that doesn't make it a good way to document or convey meaning or intent.

C is chock full of inconsistencies and ambiguities that are only disambiguated by essentially being a human compiler and maintaining the same parsing state-machine manually in your head to know what any given "(" actually means or does. As a self-proclaimed fluent C linguist, you know this better than most.

All coding involves that of course but all implimentations are not equally unhelpful.

The cpu and some people can read the binary itself. They just need to know the cpu's opcodes, documented right in the datasheet that anyone can read.

> 60 year old partner who still makes hand edits and has the Secretary scan the pages and send them out of order to the associate

We've designed our product to be backwards compatible with existing workflows. It does not require every team member to use the product to add value. Partners who prefer their way of doing things can continue to do so allowing associates to add their drafts to Version Story to create redlines and consolidate changes.

>specialists edits get rejected because they don’t know the deal points and are just swooping in

The possibility of incorrectly rejecting specialists edits exists with or without Version Story. Our product makes it easier to understand what's changed so lawyers can exercise their judgement about these decisions.

> Third big flaw in the product: big law firms are the least innovative organizations on earth

I think this assumption is worth challenging. Millennials are becoming partners at law firms and are spearheading initiatives to update their tech stacks. This is reflected in legal tech budget growth trends (https://www.legalcurrent.com/tech-spending-remains-especiall...).

> Fourth big flaw in the product: having junior associates do menial tasks at $800-950/hr is a feature, not a bug, of law firm business model. So you are solving for something that the target customer doesn’t necessarily want solved.

Making mistakes is not a feature (https://newsletterhunt.com/emails/40489). In the example I outline in the essay, the lawyer made three separate mistakes when manually merging documents.

All major RDBMS use the term "indexes".
I think I'm addressing some of what you say in my longer comment above.

>> Please be aware that your criticism has teeth too, you just don't feel the bite of them.

Well, maybe it does. I don't know if that can be avoided. I think most people don't take criticism well. I've learned for example that there are some conversations I can't have with certain members of my extended family because they're not used to being challenged about things they don't know and they react angrily. I'm specifically remember a conversation where I was trying to explain the concept of latent hypoxia and ascent blackout [1] (I free dive recreationally) to an older family member who is an experienced scuba diver, and they not only didn't believe me, they called me an ignoramus. Because I told them something they didn't know about. Eh well.

_____________

[1] It can happen that while you're diving deep, the pressure of the water keeps the pressure of oxygen in your blood sufficient that you don't pass out, but then when you start coming up, the pressure drops and the oxygen in your blood thins out so much that you pass out. In my lay terms. My relative didn't believe that the water pressure affects the pressure of the air in your vessels. I absolutely can feel that when I'm diving- the deeper I go the easier it gets to hold my breath and it's so noticeable because it's so counter-intuitive. My relative wouldn't have experienced that during scuba diving (since they breathe pressurised air, I think) and maybe it helps he's a smoker. Anyway I never managed to convince him.

As I never managed to convince him that we eat urchins' genitals, not their eggs. After a certain point I stopped trying to convince him of anything. I mean I felt like a know-it-all anyway, even if I knew what I was talking about.
Hm, okay, you're right, that part doesn't make sense, I'll have to review it and get the context to see what they were trying to establish with that scene.

I don't think they are opposites. Both of these things can occour at the same time.

It's not about blaming one or another. It's about highlighting the communication problem.
this is the problem really. not creating smarter people, because that would actually be a benefit. imagine what we could do if we had more doctors, scientists and teachers and actually funded the institutions that give them meaningful work that would benefit our society. but instead of doing that we are creating people with entitlement who think they are better than others and who then can't find work because there aren't enough jobs where their qualifications are needed.

> but have they change something where "pointer to an array[5]" is a meaningful distinction to draw

This has been a meaningful distinction since at least C99.

> "a pointer to an array of X" is simply "a pointer to X"

They aren't actually the same. The former can be decayed into the latter but they aren't actually equivalent and you'll get type mismatches if you try to treat them as the same thing.

> who has families of functions with the same type signatures that they want to point to

An example is callbacks or handlers for responding to interrupt requests. A lot of hardware interface code relies on typedef-ed function decls because very often you are passing user side functions through your interface so that you can stash those function pointers somewhere and invoke them when some event occurs.
No, I don’t. Those situations aren’t remotely comparable. I suspect you already know this but are using the Sandy Hook victims as a jumping off point to discuss something unrelated. Please don’t do that.
Your ignorance of how the legal system actually works does not make you immune from the consequences of defying the legal system. You've gotten accurate explanations multiple times and yet you continue to throw a pedantic tantrum in the comments. Calm down, conspiracy guy.
That is a good point, and fundamentally I agree that these big budget pop star machines do function in a way analogous to an AI, and that we're arguing metaphysics here.

But even if a future AI becomes like this, that doesn't prevent independent writers (like gwern) from still having a unique, non-assimilated voice where they write original content. The arguments tend to be "AI will eat everything, therefore get your writing out there now" and not "this will be a big thing, but not everything."
FWIW, both are fine (https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/indexes-or-indices-whats-the...), and SQLite and PostgreSQL documentation (as two popular examples) use "indexes".
The 'well could be poisoned' for unemployed people as well. Applying to job adverts isn't the only type of recruitment efforts; there is also further education and tending to professional social networks - the unemployed individual could easily consider these more valuable than applying to probably fake job adverts. Ultimately, this still hurts both worker and employer, because it just delays gainful employment and hides information from the market.
So we should all be relieved now because scammers can't train and deploy AI models but old people will surely adopt them.
Good joke, but the reality is they falter even more on truly greenfield projects.

I think AI images can be very nice, I like to use them myself. I don't use images I don't personally like very much. So if you don't like them, it is not because, AI, it is because your taste and my taste don't match. Or maybe you would like them, if you didn't have a bias against AI. What I love about AI images is that you can often generate very much the thing you want. The only better alternative would be to hire an actual human to do that work, and the difference in price here is huge, of course.

It is like standing in front of a Zara, and wondering why people are in that shop, and not in the Versace shop across town. Surely, if you cannot afford Versace, you rather walk naked?

None of this makes any sense.

Facebook Marketplace is a marketplace. They don't control the products that are being advertised. All they can control is the weighting of ads they run on certain products e.g. "AirPods are popular, increase ad spend to 20% of total".

But they could do this by simply optimising for ROAS just like every other company does.

If Facebook is sharing AcmeShop data with Marketplace, and it's a very big if, it would still be of almost no value.
a forgettable man with an already-forgotten name
Assuming that you're referring to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/6302, I see two comments along these lines, neither of which is from actual implementers. That isn't evidence either that the standard is a mess, nor that it's likely to go away.

The reason why this is taking such a long time is because the entire approach is a rather drastic change to how C++ compilers usually work, and C++ compilers (or even frontends, such as the stuff used by IDEs) are complicated things that aren't trivial to make major changes to.
Anecdotal but I felt it was worst during the mass layoffs in late 2022/early 2023. It has been very slowly recovering since then.

The late 2020 period was the absolute best time though. I got multiple offers almost instantly, and after I signed on it felt like the org was bloated with engineers just fiddling away on meaningless projects.
A while ago I remember reading about this new VCS project Jujutsu (jj) that claimed to be both simpler and more powerful than git. A bold claim! Didn't really think much of it at the time beyond well this is interesting.

But later, about 9 months ago, Chris Krycho published this lovely blog post[1] about jj and a thread about it was quite popular on HN. Again, really interesting, but not something I was going to dig into.

Finally, I come across this post today and it occurs to me that designing a project like this for lawyers is probably pretty challenging with git as the backend and I'm sure Jordan could use whatever the state of the art in VCS is. I hope they take a look at jj and consider it as an alternative backend. It seems there's an entire team of engineers working on jj at Google now full time.

Steve Klabnik wrote a beautiful book style tutorial[2] about getting started with it. Hopefully it inspires someone else to take a look!

What they were found guilty of (was this even a trial?) seems like could apply to literally any business that participates in two markets.

>Tying its online classified ads service Facebook Marketplace to its personal social network Facebook. This means that all Facebook users automatically have access and get regularly exposed to Facebook Marketplace whether they want it or not.

You can accuse almost anything of that, it's like business 101. The European grocery store chains (aldi/lidl) tend to have a literal random shit aisle that exists to capitalize on this, and has for years.

And I always hate laws that seemingly make everyone guilty, and are going to inevitably come down to selective enforcement.
