No, with DRM, you can't make and sell a player that allows to skip ads, ignore regional limitations, etc. If you do, your key is revoked.

Pirating high-res videos already requires special hardware to remove HDCP. It's cheap now because HDCP is notoriously weak. A future standard may start needing a $500 device, or even a $5000 one.

> this may stem from a lack of interest in taking risks

Curious wording, I've come across many people who say they are afraid of taking risks, but you're the only one that I've read saying "lacks interest" in risk taking.

If you read about game theory and search and "explore vs. exploit" it should become pretty obvious that it is highly beneficial to take a balanced amount of risk.
You can replicate his same case and see for yourself. Click an affiliate link and go to checkout. Honey won't pop-up like normal.

He doesn't provide the context for what his timescale is for his specific case. He cites that it can be up to 30 days later and Honey will still take the commission, which is true, but most merchants don't honor any cookies that are older than a day anyways.

I'm not saying this isn't a problem, it's just not a Honey-specific problem. If he actually wanted to influence change, he should cover the affiliate networks responsible for dictating this behavior (CJ, Impact, Rakuten, Awin, etc). The extensions are forced to comply by their rules.
I'm currently reading through these novels as well, I'm on The Mauritius Command (book four). My progression into this has been:

* Played way too much Sea of Thieves

* Helped plan a company on-site sunset sail on a sailboat in Boston Harbor

* Learned to sail at Community Boating over the last 2 seasons

* Watched Master & Commander: Far Side of the World after seeing too many memes about it

* Listened to the first 3 of the Aubrey-Maturin series on audiobook

* Gifted the entire 21 book series for my birthday

* Reading through them all this year (otherwise known as "The Circumnavigation")

It's truly a deep well of wonderful content that's witty, exciting, and just an amazing example of masculine friendship in literature with Jack and Stephen. Excited to read more and learn about the author!!
You can ask an LLM exactly this question and it will tell you.

(The answer is billions of parameters)
What is tiny and what is big?

Can I have a model that is like 100MB in weights and run with llama.cpp in my MacBook M2?
Yes, that's very common. In Windows 11 Pro (not sure about other editions) you can enable BitLocker and turn on auto unlock with no PIN. Though if someone steals the whole PC I'm not sure how effective that is. With a PIN set the TPM will enforce rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks, which should be more effective in that scenario. Most modern phones do something similar: user data is encrypted with a TPM key accessed using your lock screen code on boot-up.
Is Truth Relative?
A buddy of mine introduced me to the concept pair of Fluid and Crystallized Intelligence. That's the short answer to your question. An older dev will have more accumulated experience and will be able to make decisions based on experience much better, but a younger dev will adopt new tools and learn new frameworks faster, and the latter tends to be the heavier load for the average job-lifetime (say 2-5 years) in the modern tech industry.
The data parsing must have been painful. High wizardry.
> If your employer can run their companies without employees in the future it also means you can have your own company with no employees.

No, you still need money. Lots of money.

> If anything this will level the playing field, and creativity will prevail.

That's a fantasy. The people that already have money will prevail (for the most part).
So if A & B are have the same (low) price, and B is higher quality, you would still choose A?

If the GPL code is an integrated part of your code, then you've created a derivative work, a "work based on the Program" as the GPL calls it. In this case your work must also be licensed as GPL.

Getting people to download free apps is easy.

Getting them to actually use them is hard, especially when the whole point of the app is to communicate with other people, and literally none of the people they regularly communicate with other than yourself use (or even know about) Signal.
(B)illion. It indicates the rough number of parameters in the model. Higher is generally more capable. 1B models are currently at the top end of 'easy' to deal with for playing around fine tuning and the like for most home lab setups.
there's various reasons webs-of-trust don't takeoff, but I can imagine a system where the metrics I see are only aggregated from friends-of-friends, and any other signal is just considered untrustworthy and therefor not worth observing

Unreal that we, as a society, allow this Anti-Peter bias to persist. It's 2025 — time to stamp out hate for good.

Instead of referencing the "Peter Principle", consider saying:

- I fucking hate my boss

- My boss is incompetent

- My boss can't do anything right

- My boss should be fired for incompetence

No need to bring "Peter" into it at all.
The point is that Apple specifically goes out of the way to avoid having customer data in the first place.

(Google, on the other hand, is the opposite.)

But, as far as I can tell, the only reason why Apple does this is because privacy these days can be sold as a premium, luxury feature.

One would imagine pretty hard, given that the company hasn't been overrun by competitors. Not to say it's impossible, but generally when something isn't commonplace that is a good sign it's hard.
For me it was after 50, but maybe it'll apply to you. Nonprofits are desperate for knowledgeable workers. If you can afford the pay-cut the reward is worth it. From my experience:

Pros:

* The environment is more laid back.

* More people over 40 there already compared to lots of other places.

* Weirder people too, which I like.

* Smaller non-profits can't afford AI-powered HR B.S., so you can worry less about gaming them.

* Somebody of your experience and talents would be a star.

* You get to pick an industry you believe in, and maybe even influence.

* Tech is in a period of rapid change, and if you have the skills you can multiply those changes for your non-profit.

* You feel like less of a cog since many non-profits are smaller.

Cons:

* As somebody said to you, "Google is the place you go to retire after 40", I feel the same is for non-profits but more so.

* Weird politics by mission-driven people vs corporate politics which can at least almost always be attributed to money.

* It takes forever to change things.

* Shoestring budgets don't just mean lower salary, but often crappier hardware and fewer retreats and stuff. I miss big, hedonistic corporate retreats.
An excellent point. Most modern germ theory says all bacteria is bad. This, despite the fact that our guts are full of bacteria and that you simply cannot avoid ingesting bacteria. Nevermind that plenty of wood cutting boards are full of beneficial bacteria that keeps listeria and e. coli at bay.

Edit: Also there are literally some forms of cheese that you cannot make in sanitized stainless steel. The combination of bacteria you need needs to be impregnated in the wood.

The actual quote is that they are easier than IMO; but maybe not directly comparable.

I think it’s more probable that it would have solve the easier problems first, rather than some hard and only some easier; although that is supposition.

Reading this thread and the blog post gives more idea about what the problems might involve.

It’s difficult to judge without more information on the actual results, but that means we cannot draw any strong conclusions either way on what this means.
Any newly public Japanese texts?
Yeah, I was assuming they are selling for cheap to get people to try the model.

But still certainly cheaper than everyone else at the moment.
Yes, that's exactly it.

My authorized_keys line looks like this:

command="${HOME}/bin/fromvm vmname",no-port-forwarding,no-x11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding ssh-ed25519 ...

I give each of my VMs a different name and key, which lets me identify them for the purpose of e.g. constructing ssh:// links for remote editing.

The actual script uses $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND, exactly as you've described, which means that while the guest thinks its executing e.g. "pbcopy", the host "fromvm" script is actually receiving "pbcopy" in the $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND and can apply the appropriate access control or restrictions.
I didn't downvote you, but the terseness made it for me immediately come off as a kind of criticism, e.g.: "Why would we ever need it". May not have been your intent but if it was a genuine question, form matters.
My understanding from consumer branding research is that consumers have a strong preference for established brands. The average person is much more interested in drinking Coca-Cola than Neo-Cola, even if Neo-Cola is said to taste just as good, and offers a 10% discount.

If you assume that purchasing decisions are also affected by scandals -- which would make sense -- then the overall consumer purchasing algorithm could be summarized as "buy whichever brand has existed for the longest period of time without a scandal". So businesses are rewarded for minimizing their scandal rate.

Warren Buffet said:

"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently."

"Lose money for the firm, and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of reputation for the firm, and I will be ruthless."

And also:

"The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient."

Overall, I think there's a case to be made that doing the right thing is actually the most profitable strategy in the long term. It's not flashy, but it works.
It's natural. Rate of change is increasing in all fields. So when teams can't keep up, another team is setup to handle whatever is new and then automatically you get divergence in expertise, between the two groups over time. If you specialize in selling on amazon you learn totally different things, than selling in a store. If you specialize in mobile app development, a gap grows with teams who work on web or desktop. Info Asymmetry and Knowledge Gaps between specialists keeps growing with time. So the glue people naturally emerge.

Hilarious ... if you don't understand modern DRM, yes.

Modern games console security shows you can easily build DRM that lasts 10+ years. Xbox One came out in 2013 and was never properly breached during its entire lifecycle, Xbox X/S replaced it and have also not been breached. Microsoft figured out how to make strong DRM ~15 years ago on devices they design and manufacture. There's nothing wasted about that effort given that it lets them subsidize the console costs and block cheating.

tbf, the gp comment said 125MB and then 3B, which would be pretty confusing, as it's a typo and should be 125M.

“So you’re pro assault when somebody’s broken into your home at night, but suddenly anti assault when I want to punch your grandma?” Exaggerated but the same idea. Though people often communicate and maybe even internalize it in simplified “copyright bad” form, actual beliefs are much more contextual. The piracy debate would look a lot different if it weren’t literally millionaires demanding money from children.

They do this to not interrupt the purchase flow, not to be scummy. Opening a tab in the foreground or refreshing the page is extremely annoying to users and merchants request it to be in the background so it doesn't hurt their conversion.

Yes I really hate this false equivalence. What does it matter if certain metrics improved if we literally cannot purchase the (reasonable and necessary) things we want, like basic housing, childcare and healthcare.

I don't want the money, I want the things people used to be able to buy with the money.

Thanks for explaining that background!
This is impressive. Well done. I hate it
I think earlier in my life it was "afraid of taking risks" nearly 100% of the time. I had a lot of (social) risks I took over many years that didn't work out and the emotional component of it not working hit me much more strongly than I understand other people would. So at some point it transitioned into "doesn't see the point in taking any more risks."

I think for me it may be the same with a lot of things. I don't know how unusual it is to say this, but it's the same feeling as thinking about video games for the first time in a while and realizing I don't have the same attachment to them I did when I was a teenager. I likewise didn't feel the attachment towards dating until very recently when I deliberately went down a chain of reasoning related to age.

While I don't agree with the FSF on even close to everything regarding trusted computing, I think for a fair discussion you'd have to at least steelman their arguments here:

I think it's fair to assume that in a world in which almost every device supports attestation and makes it available to any service provider by default, without giving users an informed choice to say no or even informing them at all, service providers are much more likely to provide access exclusively to attestation-capable clients.

That, in turn, has obvious negative consequences for users with devices not supporting attestation (whether out of ideological choice, because it's a low cost device and the manufacturer can't afford the required audits and security guarantees etc.): Sure, these users will always be able to just refuse to transact with any service provider requiring attestation.

But think that through: We're not only talking about Netflix here. At what availability rates of attestation will decision makers at financial institutions decide that x% is good enough and exclude everybody else from online banking? What about e-signing contracts for doing business online? What about e-government services?

I am at the same time excited about the new possibilities attestation offers to users (in that they will be able to do things digitally that just weren't economically feasible for service providers, since they often have to cover the risks of doing so) as I am very wary of the negative externalities of a world in which attestation is just a bit too easy and ubiquitous.

In other words, the ideal amount of general purpose attestation availability is probably high, but significantly below 100% (or, put differently, the ideal amount of friction is non-zero). Heterogeneity of attestation providers can probably help a bit, but I'm wary of the inherent centralizing forces due to the technical and economical pragmatics of trusted computing.
