Right - not just a preliminary injunction but basically the Court dismisses basically every argument put forth by Automattic in all even claims as "not withstanding scrutiny", "not supported by evidence", and "a consequence of their own actions". Throughout the document, there is -very- little that says Automattic's defense to any of this has any substance.
Imo Mercedes scored a point with their narrow application of L3 driving, Tesla is playing to win the game.
I haven't spaced on this, but I'm going to take a beat to generate a more rigorous reply. In the meantime: I think the evidence, both from twin studies and from genomics, for genetic determination of intelligence is very weak, has gotten weaker, and describes an effect too small to be relevant to the gaps we're discussing in this story; bringing racial IQ science into a discussion like this is arson.

I'll do my best to back those points up tomorrow.

It's a little weird that you called out Gusev, above; on this topic Gusev, though a geneticist himself, seems more like a popularizer of current research than someone going out on a limb with his own. But check his references: the scientists whose studies he cites seem to be saying the same thing he is.
> surely has a rich understanding of more than just the next token it wants to predict

> the last hidden layer is obviously super rich in semantic information

I don't agree that this is obvious, and think it's likely wrong (see the sibling thread [1]). The model has to at some point compress down its prediction for the entire future string of text to a prediction for a single token. There's no prior reason to assume it does this mostly in the final "LM head" linear layer, and the inputs to it don't have to predict anything other than the very next token so there's no reason it should (which is what I think psb217 was getting at), but I'm not familiar with what research has been done into it. On the other hand, processing seems to typically be concentrated in the central layers.

IMHO, we're still a long way from anything truly useful. The problem Google used to demonstrate quantum supremacy feels more like a glorified random number generator. Even if quantum computers can generate results faster, processing and storing the data still takes a lot of time. It’s hard not to draw a parallel with claims about "instantaneous quantum communication," where entangled particles appear to defy the speed of light — it seems impressive at first, but the practical value remains unclear.
Many wars would be cut short if the winning side offered amnesty. I suspect that Germany would have surrendered a year earlier if the Allies had offered some version of amnesty rather than unconditional surrender.

The Nazis fought to the bitter end because they knew that unconditional surrender meant there would be hell to pay. And there was.
That post was from literally thousands of days ago and seems to be in relation to some confusion at that time.

Honestly to me you can see the tensions that led to the license change in that post. It’s largely consistent with what antirez has said in the post and in this thread.
> the pretense that he was doing it for "security reasons" because there was an exploit (every single part of everything about wordpress has an exploit in a random month) shows that he thought he was doing something unjustifiable

Not to mention the threats posted online to other plugin developers, "we can and will find an exploit in your plugin and do exactly the same to you if we want" indicated it had very little to do with security. I'm sure he had Automattic employees pulled onto finding even the most trivial of exploits just to be able to do this.

WPE contributes probably in the seven digit a year range to WP. The very conference that Matt went "nuclear" at was sponsored by WPE to the tune of $75K (and for insult on injury, they were denied the ability to attend, and I believe all references to them were removed, but the money was kept).
I don't have anything written. These days, the only unique things git-branchless has are certain commands (`git test`, `git sync`, `git submit`, which would be good to implement in jj), and a few minor features like `git record --stash`, and of course compatibility with various Git extensions like LFS.
One of the motivations of copyleft licenses like GPL which are a part of open source, was the freedom for users to see and modify code. The fact that the user works with the software in a browser rather than inside a native app is a technicality which shouldn't mean that the principle becomes invalid.

Of course, this makes it harder for developers to monetize their work. But, instead of framing the discussion in terms of these conflicting interests and finding a balance, the term 'open source' becomes a debate target (even though the OSI definition includes AGPL which is also radioactive if one wants to monetize the work.)

So we have three parties 1) Users 2) App Developers who write commercial closed source code for the user facing app 3) Dependency Developers who write code used by App Developers.

(There is a simplification here as 2 can be a startup writing selling a closed source dependency used by other developers)

Just as App developers would like to monetize via user payments, some licenses allow the same option for Dependency developers while simultaneously allowing source code to be available and modified.

The basic idea behind such a license is 'free of cost and inspectable/modifiable code for almost all users, but commercial for large companies making a significant revenue from the software'.

There needs to be some work done, to make the license predictable - which users it requires to pay, and the price involved.

I think the thing that hurts a lot of folks is the one thing they wanted to do with Redis is use a managed version of it in AWS. And now they can't. We're trying to figure out our migration path right now and it's almost surely going to be Valkey.

Large vendors were never going to pay up and so it's all loss for everyone involved. I have to do work, every project that works with Redis has to do work to support Valkey now, the eventual divergence will force people to pick a side which will probably also be Valkey for everything other than the client libraries Redis Labs personally develops. It's a mess.

Open core proprietary add-one for new fancy AI features could have avoided the split and gotten you in the door with big cloud vendors willing to sell your add-on in the marketplace with revenue sharing. They did it with Bedrock and Anthropic is making bank off it.
If something like this is done it’s done to save cost, which almost always correlates with quality.

"taking calculated risk" doesn't mean to calculate the risk. It means to look at whether the risk is worth taking, and only taking those that are worth.

Lottery is a bad risk - so it would be not wise to take lottery risk (as it's got a negative expectation of return).

Sure, "news articles" put out by fossil fuel / Koch brother backed think tanks were already spreading the FUD 40 years ago.

That's at least how long C02 emmissions have been recognised as a pressing problem and how long those making Texas Oil baron profits (globally, not just in Texas) have been delibrately confusing the issue to avoid doing anything to slow emmissions.

The first sound thoughts on the matter were over a century past, rightly speculating on the consequences of putting more blankets on the bed (ie: more insulating gases in the atmosphere), and the first solid atmospheric geophysics paper on C02 and warming dates back to 1967.

The "aww, but an ice age" stuff is just a distraction for the kiddies.

If anything, that stuff really highlights the issue as assuming "all things being the same" the planet probably should be headed back into more glaciation (we're already in an "ice age" - the poles have ice; we're in an age of cyclic glaciation) .. except it isn't.

Humans have not only stopped the expected advance of glaciers, we've added enough insulation to reverse them and start to heat up our "sweet spot" of the ages in which human civilisation developed.
Can you show me direct evidence that these policies have been adopted nationwide to the broad degree necessary to explain the data as presented in the original post?

No, not 'to the broad degree necessary to explain the data'. But no one in this thread is claiming that these policies alone explain the data.

You say it's a local thing only. I explain how local things expand. You say it's a hypothetical. I say no these things have expanded already. You say that doesn't fully explain the data.

If you will dismiss any hypothesis that doesn't fully explain the data, you will never receive a satisfying answer.
> I think the "parallel universe" analogies are misleading at best. I actually think most "narrative" explanations of quantum physics are as well.

This is inherent to the problem of attempting to describe something that fundamentally does not work like the macroscopic world, using vocabulary rooted in that macroscopic world.
You also need to make sure to have at least 1 or 2 tests per instance where this function would be called remotely where you don't mock this function in remote calls, to make sure that the data types of the function aren't ignored, because the mock, since it doesn't have types either, might tolerate inputs to the function you didn't intend or have behavior you didn't intend if you refactor a type change.
Exactly, that's why I'm saying it's a more challenging problem than it appears and there's no one solution that always gives the best experience in every case. I personally think a hybrid approach of allowing some limited discrepancy between user and server timestamps is probably the best you can do.

As a layperson with a math background who has dabbled in quantum computing, I agree.

It would help to call the "Everettian" interpretation by the original title given by Everett: the theory of the universal wave function.

Ignore the techno-babble about the multiverse. The way I understand Everett is simply as taking the math literally and seriously to its logical conclusion.

Among some related tools, I run Batch Compress (https://batchcompress.com/en), an online image compressor. It converts images to WebP or JPEG with a lot of compression applied in order to shrink file size by a lot.

There is a lot of competitors, but usually they have limits requiring accounts & payment if the images are too large to begin with or if you want to compress a lot of images. Batch Compress is free for unlimited use. The concept of Batch Compress is to be a batch version of Google's Squoosh tool.

Always very open to feedback or feature requests.
Is this like teaching the body to work around the damaged nerves? Like rerouting the signals?
A lot of folks use it for this. But its not very straightforward like the tools that join calls and listen in.

It only transcribes what it can listen to. So if you are on a zoom call on your computer it can listen to both the audio from the PC and you speaking and transcribe.

Ive been looking into tapping in directly to both the audio out and mic in on apple devices. Im making progress but its not stable yet. Hoping to get it done during the holidays.
Pretty much. The Chrome versions are only a few months old while the Apple platform ones are much older. Plus, honestly, I don’t nag users to leave ratings/reviews within the app.

> Defendants’ arguments in opposition do not persuade otherwise. They assert that “[t]he public is not, and will not, be subject to any harm in the absence of a preliminary injunction” noting that WPEngine implemented a workaround for Mullenweg’s interference with its access to WordPress. Opp. at 33. Not so. In his reply declaration, Prabhakar explains that the temporary solution “is impractical for many reasons.” Prabhakar Reply Decl. ¶ 4. Without access to wordpress.org, those who use WPEngine’s plugins “would not know that their plugins require
update[.]” Id. Many do not know how to update plugins manually. Id. For those that do, if they manage several websites, and those websites run multiple plugins, the process of performing manual updates would be too onerous and time consuming to be workable. Id. Moreover, even if WPEngine’s workaround did not present the difficulties Prabhakar describes, the costs associated with its implementation, as necessitated by Mullenweg’s conduct, supports the issuance of injunctive relief.

Ouch. The court is basically saying that they need to implement the preliminary injunction for the wider public good. Rather puts the lie to several assertions by Mullenweg.

In fact, it's not at all looking good for Mullenweg or Automattic.

You're paying for good hardware without all the vendor bloatware that the rest of us get. My pixel 5 died the other day and I replaced it with a Redmi note 13, and I miss the pixel. The Redmi, like other phones I've experienced, took a few days to stop sucking at performance, I guess that's how long the crapware took to settle down - my pixel was fast from the get-go.

Your primary mistake, though, is thinking that buying a phone from Google entitles you to premiums services on that phone. This is an invalid supposition.

If you want no YouTube ads, buy premium (and enjoy YT music as part of it). Or use a client like newpipe.

Schools are going massively underfunded and we can observe a massive disparity from school to school. On the political end of this issue, there is a concerted effort to choke out school funding and to push private schools that are funded with tax dollars.

1. Redis Inc creates a fork of Redis and names it say RedisNext or anything else(xyz) without a reference to Redis name at all.

2. Announces that, xyz is a fully compatible next gen version of Redis with enterprise features but it is only available under SSPL license.

3. Also announces that original Redis software is feature complete and will be under maintenance with only critical bug fixes.

This will be them playing by the same rules as any other third-party.

Will the community still manage to find fault with Redis Inc?

Will it feel entitled to continued updates or the Redis brand demanding a project handover to a different "group"?
