This method favors big corporations and provides further lock-in. Python only does what Microsoft/Instagram etc. demand.

So you get suit-compatible catch phrases like "SBOM" (notice how free software has been deliberately degraded to "materials" in that acronym!).

The corporations want to control open source, milk it, feed it to their LLMs, plagiarize it and so forth. And they pay enough "open" source developers who sell out the valuable parts that are usually written by other people.

As you say, it's partly security theater because of the other attack vectors that are especially relevant in an organization that has no stringent procedures, no open discussion culture or commitment to correctness like e.g. FreeBSD.

Comments like these are so prevalent and yet illustrate very well the lack of understanding of the underlying technology. Neural nets, once trained, are static! You'll never get dynamic "through-time" reasoning like you can with a human-like mind. It's simply the WRONG tool. I say human-like because I still think AGI could be acheived in some digital format, but I can assure you it wont be packaged in a static neural net.

Now, neural nets that have a copy of themselves, can look back at what nodes were hit, and change through time... then maybe we are getting somewhere

I wouldn't be surprised by legislation for a Do Not Track option in DMA designed Gatekeepers' browsers, defaulting to "ask", where all three options must be handled accordingly by websites.

"Ask" would also have to be the default behaviour when no preference is transmitted.

That's exactly the problem - you often don't plan to sell from the start. Life changes. Kids are born. Health issues emerge. New opportunities arise.

If you start successful in Germany without the right structure, you're locked in. At least if you plan to sell from day one, you have options (expensive ones). But most bootstrappers just build stuff users want. Then one day they get an interesting acquisition offer...

I deleted it as I was anticipating exactly such replies that just tell me all the ways in which I'm wrong and just make me feel dumb for voicing an opinion, and I realize I don't enjoy these kind of discussions anymore.

I think since when they have 2FA PyPI is less secure.

Before I could learn my password and type it on twine. If my machine was stolen no upload on pypi was possible.

Now it's a token file on my disk so if my machine is stolen, then token can be used to publish.

Using github to publish doesn't change anything: if my machine is stolen the token needed to publish is still there, but instead of directly to pypi it will need to go via github first.

Looks you independently arrived at the original context that language models existed in as interfaces for deeper knowledge system in chatbots.

But the knowledge system here is doing the grunt of the work, and progressing past it's own limitations goes right hack to the pitfalls of the rules based AI winter. That's not a engineering problem, it's a foundational mathematics problems that only a few people are seriously working on.
There's a reasonable argument to be made whether you should be subject to capital gains in the first place. I sold my last company in the UK, and honestly the tax burden was so ridiculously low I still feel somewhat bad for it. It's crazy.

There is of course a competition problem with the high taxation in Germany; if your expected returns are much lower than in other countries your risk just increased significantly. We already have a situation where on average it's much, much more lucrative to work at bigcorp instead.

My main gripe with the GmbH though is not the amount of taxation. GmbHs are so needlessly complex it blows my mind (I'm currently running one), but that's on the side of regulations. I'd MUCH prefer if Germany worked on getting rid of silly shit like the notary requirement etc., and if taxation and bookkeeping were simplified, before we talk about lowering taxes.

That teardown (and the similar Lumafield scan) is quite misleading, though. Nothing about that is Apple-specific, or makes the cable in any way "better".

A signal will degrade as it travels through a cable. The longer the cable, the more it degrades. At USB4/TB4/TB5 speeds you can make a cable up to about 80cm before it starts to become a problem. Any cable longer than ~80cm needs active electronics to boost the signal's quality.

Apple's cable is 180cm, so it has those electronics. Any 180cm long USB4 cable made by any manufacturer is going to have them.

This sounds like a reasonable complaint, that refactorings are too complex in large programs.

Your issue is that the performance of these models at chess is incredibly sensitive to the prompt. If you have gpt-3.5-turbo-instruction complete a PGN transcript, then you'll see performance in the 1800 Elo range. If you ask in English or diagram the board, you'll see vastly degraded performance.

Unlike people, how you ask the question really really affects the output quality.
No, that would be unethical, running the risk of healing the animals and helping them live longer lives without a high level of informed consent that only animals deserve.

>>Rebooting the phone effectively turns it off. Until the user unlocks the phone, it won't connect to phone network. AFAIK it also won't start any of the usual background processes that listen to notifications,

Well yes, because the storage and all the apps are encrypted until you unlock your phone. So you could have all the apps boot up and start listening for events, but it would be at the cost of reduced security elsewhere. Not sure what the right solution is tbh, I think personally I'd rather have all of my data encrypted even if it means my phone isn't actually "active" after a reboot.
And disappointing.

Our best engineer spent 2 weeks full time updating our codebase from 7 to 8 using rector (the project was already running PHP 7 but still had a lot of deprecated code from the PHP 5 era which didn't work on PHP 8). That would be eternity without Rector.
You need to know where these attestations were made, you need a TPM telling you that this was done on a patched untouched server, in an patched untouched VM, on a signed attested code base, with deploy scripts unchanged by anyone.

We are not there as long as Jenkins and most build infrastructure is basically Remote exploit as a service it is also going to take a long time. While Petya like in Ukraine is harder the more attestations you add there is always a hole, especially when all of your infrastructure needs to run things from some proprietary vendor.

Back in 2022 libtorrent implemented memory mapped IO as part of v2 [1]. Unfortunately, it didn't go so well. Memory usage went through the sky, leading to performance degradation and crashing [2]. The issue is still open in the project to this day, and many programs have stuck with the v1.2 library instead.

It looks like they are headed to a multi-threaded pread implementation now [3] and someone has created a patch to tweak the current mmap fallback that uses pread to perform better in the meantime [4].

> Blame the parasitic adtech industry wanting trade your personal data.

Blame them for what? We all understand that personal information is the currency that pays for these services. While we may not love that we have to pay (who does?), we accept it as a fair trade. Until governments get their ass in gear to make paying with more favourable currencies viable, that is going to remain, now just with extra clicks.

> Not the EU for providing you with consumer protection.

I guess a bandaid is better than nothing, but we'd be better off if the EU would tackle the real issue. Going there would ruffle some real feathers, though, so good luck. But if there is blame to go around, it is on the EU for being too afraid to ruffle them.

I made a rather stupid mistake recently, as an American. I put $30k or so of my Roth IRA into BMW stock, since it was paying something close to 8% annual dividends. Once a year. I suppose I should have looked at this more closely. When the dividend was paid, the German government took about 30% of it right off the top in taxes... for a foreign investor. Still not a bad return, but I won't be buying any German stocks going forward.

That's my Yelp review of investing in German businesses, if it helps anyone. I've had more or less the same experience dining in Seattle and accidentally tipping 20% on top of an included 20% tip that was already included but not specified in the bill.

Speed chess relies on skill.

I think you're using "skill" to refer solely to one aspect of chess skill: the ability to do brute-force calculations of sequences of upcoming moves. There are other aspects of chess skill, such as:

1. The ability to judge a chess position at a glance, based on years of experience in playing chess and theoretical knowledge about chess positions.

2. The ability to instantly spot tactics in a position.

In blitz (about 5 minutes) or bullet (1 minute) chess games, these other skills are much more important than the ability to calculate deep lines. They're still aspects of chess skill, and they're probably equally important as the ability to do long brute-force calculations.
This isn't about "special treatment for the rich." When international companies buy German software businesses, that's foreign investment flowing into Germany - money that often gets reinvested locally in new startups and jobs. But our system actively discourages these transactions by treating business sales like regular income.

> If someone online is giving you something that you can't verify yourself (either because it's a binary or because you don't have the time/ability to understand the source), you rely on trust and reputation. Having a BSD license attached doesn't change this.

I only need to trust a few sources though. It is very different from getting lots of software from lots of different people.

> My suggestion is to still release the source, so anyone can fork such a project under the same terms they had: any use is piracy.

No they cannot. If someone forks the project the original author can sue them for breach of copyright. Forks can only exist at the whim of the original author. Of course you could give people permission to fork - this is called "giving them a license".

I also wonder whether the courts might hold you have implicitly given a license by making the software a free download, or if you have made it public that this is what you have lost your right to sue (maybe something like equitable estoppel would apply). I would say it is almost certain to happen at least in some jurisdictions.

> If the author feels someone is abusing the system/trying to restrict user freedoms by distributing only a binary, and the abuser is large enough to warrant it, they can sue them, just like with GPL.

The author can also sue anyone else who is redistributing. How do we know that the author will do so?

Essentially this gives the original author complete power over the project. You are to have complete trust in the author. You have to have this trust without them ever giving you any permission (because that would constitute a license).

What is the author waits until people are dependant on the software and then decides to demand license fees, or just gets greedy and sues for breach of copyright?
I wonder if the llm could even draw the chess board in ASCII if you asked it to.
Sure, if the accommodation is what's precluding you from performing, you're not going to be fired for not doing it, but in that case, you'll probably be fired for other reasons, or driven out in other ways.

There's a lot of reasons to fire people if someone wants to, lots of things down to effectively what lens you view them through.

The disclaimer is absolutely right, you should consult a qualified accountant because the rest of the article is wrong. First of all, it's not just about SaaS, but all GmbH. I don't see any reason why Germany should make exceptions for software companies as the author wishes for in the second-to-last paragraph.

In regards to taxation of a sale I can only point to this first google result: https://www.rosepartner.de/besteuerung-verkauf-gmbh-kauf.htm...

In cases where you personally owned the company, only 60% of the sale price will taxed. After this Teileinkünfteverfahren the 60% are indeed subject to your incomee tax. Even better as sales are consindered außergewöhne Einkünfte their taxation will follow the Fünftelregelungen where the sale profit is spread across five years. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BCnftelregelung
Realistically you'll end up paying taxes comparable to the 10~20% you can expect in the US.

Edit: Sorry, missed that part about the seller GmbH still existing afterwards. But the next paragraph I linked goes into that as well: https://www.rosepartner.de/besteuerung-verkauf-gmbh-kauf.htm...
Again, Teileinkünfteverfahren only 60% being taxed.
Aaaargh, this comment is a nightmare.

It is a GOOD THING for people to open MSCs and try to evolve Matrix, and the number of open proposals shows the enthusiasm in the ecosystem for doing so and proposing ways to evolve the protocol.

Meanwhile, the number of actually accepted merged MSCs is way lower - 226 merged in 8 years: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/issues?q... - so 28 per year. Same as Python.

> I wouldn't want to be tasked with maintaining a Matrix client and I don't have much faith in the forward compatibility of the few Matrix bots I've written either.

Authenticated media is literally the first time we've made a significant breaking change on the CS API in 10 years - and was effectively a security fix, to stop people abusing Matrix as a CDN. Bots I wrote 10 years ago still work today without changes (other than auth media).

> The way the Matrix spec is developed feels a lot more like a proprietary company spec that happens to be published on Github than the IETF/XMPP/Python spec process.

Seriously, read the proposal mechanism (https://spec.matrix.org/proposals/) and look at a MSC like https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/177... with >500 comments from across the wider community (so big that it crashed GitHub at the time).
You almost managed to show or administration as a competent, hard working group that has the interests of the population in mind.

The above is of course satire. We have idiotic regulations that require a good understanding of culture to get through. People are like the rest of the population: average. There are good ones send bad ones.

For the exam - it completely depends on the administration and your level.

We hate our administration because it is either complicated, or contacting them is a nightmare (or simply impossible)
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words and detailed feedback!

Templates are definitely something I plan to add—it’s a great way to help users get started and explore use cases. I like the idea of exploring concepts gradually in a mindmap-style and making it possible to click to generate related ideas. The "next level" for expanding nodes etc.

I wonder if adding these mindmap features are better at this point than other features I have in the pipeline, like automated workflows (to manipulate knowledge structures), attaching files to nodes, and even generating these files using different generative AI services and having information structures as argument. Lots of possibilities ahead.

I’ll be sure to post an update here once I’ve made progress, especially on templates. Thanks again for the encouragement—it really means a lot!
