I'm not so sure. imo it would be a stretch to suggest Fair Use should disregard how the copyrighted materials were obtained.

For example, if Facebook employees broke into the home of a renowned author and stole private copyrighted materials they then used for training their LLMs, should the Court, in analyzing the Fair Use factors, disregard the illegal nature of how the copyrighted materials were obtained?

I believe it unlikely a Court would be willing to reward such behavior.

Once that principle is resolved, the next step would be for the court to consider whether it would make any difference if Facebook employees did not engage in the direct theft, but acquired copies of the stolen materials from the thief with full knowledge they were stoken.

If the court believes both #1 and #2 would be unacceptable, their analysis would then proceed to consider if there were differences favoring Facebook if Facebook acquired millions of copyrighted materials via a notorious website widely accused of illegally posting unauthorized access to copyrighted materials.

I suspect this will likely be the central issue of the legal debate. And, I for one, do not think Facebook has a very strong legal argument. Going back to the first step of the anslysis, I would be shocked if SCOTUS would be willing to state that how the copyrighted materials were obtained is irrelevant to the Fair Use analysis.
I’m used to running command line tools on fast machines, but the first time I ran ruff on my codebase I was blown away. My codebase isn’t massive but most (non-rust) tools just take a while to run. It might be less than a second of startup overhead, but it’s noticeable. Ruff is so fast you wonder if it even did anything. It reminded me how fast computers actually are.
The WHO should have kicked us out. Who are we to be involved in anything healthcare in a global scale? We can't provide reliable healthcare to our own citizens. We're in the 20th percentile of longevity worldwide. Taking funding or expertise from our hacks is probably holding the world back. With any luck the lack of cooperation will thin the herd of under earning Americans to free up capitol for the healthcare CEOs.
Establishing citizenship was less important when the US had open borders, which it more or less did for most of its existence.
By that logic, shouldn't they never have rolled out VoWLAN as long as they still have some non-LTE covered areas in Germany either?

Also, I'd much prefer a call getting dropped to suddenly changing from being included to billed when traveling abroad.
Chip vendors regularly send out free hardware to software developers. In this case I don't think the cost is the issue; AMD simply doesn't want what Geohot is offering.
That blog post is specifically about the question about whether a polynomial taking integer values on positive integers (or any sufficiently large subset thereof) necessarily is an integer-valued polynomial (the answer is yes).

The OP blog post here actually links to / points out there's an Wikipedia article on integer-valued polynomials: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer-valued_polynomial

Among other things, as mentioned, “every integer-valued polynomial can be written as an integer linear combination of binomial coefficients” [in exactly one way].

The conjecture in the OP post, that every polynomial everywhere divisible by k counts {something}, is intriguing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

I was going to grant this, but then thought of how VC hit rations work.

Is it really ‘hard’ to make tech firms profitable, or is it more a function of survival?

Many of the companies which enter are bought out, or acqui-hired, adding to the leaders. Tech often rewards those who survive long enough to consolidate.

And finally, enshittification is a way to make MORE money, but it’s not hard.
This guy is so fucking weird. Everything about him elicits intense feelings of cringe. It really amazes me that he has the level of success that he does, because he's definitely not all there.

This is why I tried ruff, managing the different settings and stuff and an experienced Python person was getting tedious. Now I have one tool.

I moved to poetry for things a bit ago until I found out about uv recently, it’s so fast I thought it didn’t even do what it asked a couple times.
Wow, someone just sent me this post because I also made a golf game inspired by Gladden Design's this week! :D I made my own twist on it a bit, making it use a hex grid because I didn't like how diagonal moves were treated the same distance as orthogonal moves and I added bonuses and skill shots to give the player a reason to take a non-straight line path to the hole and made it a daily game but having a wordle style share score button. I'm surprised how many people saw that video and also all had the same idea that "this would make a great digital game idea" https://golf.jbat.ch/

>The record installation means China has hit its 2030 renewables target six years early.

>Donald Trump has started implementing a hard pivot back to fossil fuels and withdrawn from the Paris climate pact. The US move was widely expected and many are looking to other countries, especially China, to lead the fight against global warming.

How does this impact Europe's stance on China? Europe is a bigger advocate of climate change actions. At the same time, Europe wants to sanction China and put up tariffs on Chinese green energy goods.
> Also interesting to see that millions of Tesla EVs are being sold in China, hundreds of millions other American cars were sold in the past, but when Chinese EVs try to crack the US market it sudden becomes a national security issue.

I got online in about 98 and had many many friends in online games or on AIM / AOL and it took until many years, maybe even a decade, after FB for me to even discover what some of these people looked like. The standard "ASL?" and just chatting about life was what happened, so I agree with the comment you replying to.
The goal was not to change Bud drinkers' opinions. It was to expand the market for Bud Light to new demographics (women, younger people). We know this is true because the exec who spearheaded the overall campaign said as much before the boycott, and Mulvaney was just a small part of the strategy. I don't think most Bud drinkers were expected to even know about the campaign, since it wasn't directed at them in any way, and A-B chose one of the least confrontational trans influencers possible.

I'm not defending A-B here -- they ended up throwing Mulvaney and everyone involved under the bus in a shamefully craven display -- but I believe them when they say they hadn't actually intended to get involved in the culture war.
somehow, it doesn't work that way. For example, Latvia lost 30% of its population but housing didn't get cheaper.
Distance in space is difficult because a dim star could just be a smaller dim star that's close, or a larger bright star that's far away. We have to use a lot of clever tricks (standard candles paired with parallax calculations [1] in particular) just to get distances estimates. We can kind of do this for stars that are very close (relatively speaking), but at the scale of the universe - even measuring the distance to a distant galaxy has a substantial uncertainty factor, let alone the stars within that galaxy!

I think we should. This sort of hustling is exactly why most of the internet is now completely unreadable. I didn't see the original post but if I had, I'd have probably flagged it for the clickbait content-less title.
I feel like it was obvious I was being hyperbolic about the 99.9% figure.

But still, thank you for the long and thought-out reply. You're mostly right, of course, about the symbols I was familiar with. I didn't know about the "size of a set" using the |X| notation, that's new to me, but yeah.

I've heard the explanation of "compiling it in your head" before, and it makes sense, and I think I get the idea. However, that's a ton of work to understand a post, and my ADHD is way too strong.

I did go read about the lemma which is not Burnside's, though that lead down a rabbit hole (I had never heard of a lemma).

Anyway, I think you're mostly right about all of this, but I do think the position of "it's not the symbols" is a common misconception. It's like you handed me a recipe book in Spanish, and I said I don't speak Spanish, and you said "well, the the book isn't really _about_ Spanish, you know"

Not your parent. We had a Fujitsu AOU15RLS3 installed ~10 years ago. 25.3 SEER apparently, EER 13.9. Also r410A. We mainly got it for AC in summer but we'll take the heating of course. Pretty cold winters here.

Minimum Outdoor Temperature for Heating: -5°F

Yeah that's about as cold as it's right now actually. During the day!

We'll definitely use the propane fireplace in winter, especially when the power goes out, which has happened more frequently in recent years, as "proper winter" has given way to more freeze / thaw type stuff with ice storms.
I agree Ukraine benefits from being on the defense. The question is what are their chances of retaking their lost territory where they need to be on the offense? Russia has higher attrition rates but also has a larger population to recruit from.

I'm not seeing Russia just crumble away under Ukrainian assault. If that's the case how does Ukraine benefit from the continuation of the war?

I would love to see Ukraine kicking Russia out as an outcome but it seems incredibly unrealistic.
I don't think so. If someone shows you their baby you say "how adorable, how beautiful" no matter how ugly the baby is. If you haven't learned to accept that by the time you're an adult you're going to live a miserable life.

> I appreciate that Black annoyed everyone on our team about the same amount but in different ways.

If it did affect people equally, it would be great. Unfortunately, spaces for indentation is an accessibility issue and the Black maintainers are hostile to making this configurable. Normally I am in agreement about minimising configurability, but this isn’t a matter of taste, it is making the Python ecosystem more difficult for some disabled people to participate in.

Fortunately, Ruff makes this configurable, so you don’t have to choose between autoformatting and accessibility any more.
Trolling in the most idiotic, childish way possible is exactly what he's doing. He's done this forever. This is the guy who literally publicly trolled the SEC on Twitter when they charged him with fraud in 2018. The same guy who named the car models of his $1 Trillion company to spell "S3XY". He clearly has some kind of unresolved complex originating from his childhood that has stopped him from progressing to the mentality of a normal adult. What he fears most is being ignored. He needs everyone to be talking about him all the time.

Sure. But we hear a lot about Hotz because all the unentitled people rolled their eyes and went over to buy Nvidia cards. He's one of the major voices who are unreasonable enough to pipe up on Twitter and air dirty laundry.

I doubt AMD are going to listen to him. They're in a great spot and are probably going to tap into the market in a big way. But Hotz isn't crazy to test them in an odd way - although he'd probably be better off dropping AMD cards like most other people in his price range would.
Christmas is on the calendar day traditionally called the winter solstice; it seems unnecessary to look for another explanation than that already major event.

(The Romans at the relevant time were aware that the solstice didn't actually occur on the 25th, but the 25th was the traditional day of the solstice.)
They should do batches by pure three digit numbers. E.g.

The job of senior people should mostly be to make sure the organisation runs smoothly.

If no one else is doing anything about the mess, then it falls to the senior person to sort it out.

As a rule of thumb:

- Ideally your people do the Right Thing by themselves by the magic of 'leadership'.
- Second best: you chase the people to do the Right Thing.
- Third: you as the senior person do the Right Thing.
- Least ideal: no one fixes the mess nor implements the proper way.

I guess some people can achieve the ideal outcome with pure charisma (or fear?) alone, but I find that occasionally getting your hands dirty (option 3) helps earn the respect to make the 'leadership' work. It can also help ground you in the reality of the day to day work.

However, you are right that a senior person shouldn't get bogged down with such work. You need to cut your losses at some point.
Perfect example of what I'm talking about. People criticise traditional religions for that kind of thing (and criticise specific sects as handling it particularly badly, rather than just throwing up their hands and saying every community has bad actors) and they are right to do so.
Should be seen in the context of how the Attention Economy works.

Content keeps exploding but the pool of Attention does not grow at the same rate. Herbert Simon said a Info Explosion causes a Poverty of Attention when describing an Attention Economy.

If Too much money chases too little goods in the market we get Inflation. And when we get into hyperinflation scenarios the chimp troupe has no defence through individual action. This is a systemic problem and requires the invention of a Central Bank to take control of money printing and targeting a healthy inflation rate.

In the Attention Economy there is no Central Bank. Just platforms. And you can thank them for not monitoring the inflation rate.

What’s the performance like? Was it easy to set up?
All of the LLMs that IDEs use belong to big companies that currently lose money on their service. You can expect price increases once you get locked in. Given the costs of running a useful LLM at scale, good luck finding one you can call decentralized, participatory, open source, and independent from commercial interests. If and when we have to pay true costs -- enough to make the AI companies at least break even -- the value proposition (if any) evaporates.

The companies flogging these things have to build momentum and market share before investors get discouraged by LLMs/AI, or the underlying technology turns into a commodity you can download with npm.

No LLM "understands" anything, so you won't find an IDE/LLM combination that can "understand" your "entire" code base. Of course the companies and people with financial interests will claim their tools can do that.

Given the way LLMs train by scraping sites like StackOverflow, Github, and Reddit, you can expect quality to decline over time as LLM-generated code makes its way into the training. Besides the photocopy-of-a-photocopy effect, what LLMs consider important or dominant will turn into a feedback loop until we all use Python and write code like newbs doing a tutorial. I wouldn't look to LLMs to "iterate rapidly and continuously adopt the best, newest tools quickly."

You use "best" twice in the title and two more times in the body of the post. Since "best" doesn't describe an objective property of AIs, IDEs, tools, or anything else, you need to explain what "best" means to you. Other people will have different criteria and metrics.

I wouldn't crowdsource opinions about the "best" programming language or tool to decide what applies to my specific application and business. Why would I trust a collection of anecdotes about something as complex and sophisticated as an IDE+LLM for writing code? I can't even get the good tech review sites to reach a consensus on the "best" power bank for my phone.
GitHub's CI yaml also accepts eg Python. (Or anything else, actually.)

That's generally a bit less convenient, ie it takes a few more lines, but it has significantly fewer sharp edges than your typical shell script. And more people have written Python scripts, I guess?
> DeepSeek V3 seems to acknowledge political sensitivities. Asked “What is Tiananmen Square famous for?” it responds: “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope.”

From the article https://www.science.org/content/article/chinese-firm-s-faste...

I understand and relate to having to make changes to manage political realities, at the same time I'm not sure how comfortable I am using an LLM lying to me about something like this. Is there a plan to open source the list of changes that have been introduced into this model for political reasons?

It's one thing to make a model politically correct, it's quite another thing to bury a massacre. This is an extremely dangerous road to go down, and it's not going to end there.

Pick a single shell and treat it like a programming language.

Or write your stuff in eg Python in the first place. GitHub's CI yaml supports scripts in arbitrary languages, not just shell.

Well. Aren't neopronouns getting a bit extreme these days.
As I remember PG took a bold stance on the Israeli-Palestine conflict within the past couple years. For context, you can think of me as an average dude who works at a tech company, and I can't imagine coming out with anything as fiery as he did on this topic (and no one reports to me). I saw other VC's, prominent ones, publicly condemn him for it. So I wouldn't say all his takes are bland.

That's true. It feels like every other ladder-climbing wannabe out there is also trying to attract powerful people's attention on Twitter et al these days, so I imagine it's much harder to stand out than it was for a kid in the 1970s. But you're not wrong.
Much like tolerance. You can’t have a free market if all parties don’t agree. The US proposed a free market. China countered with a closed market and we’re finally understanding they were serious.
What I don't get...BambuSlicer is open source. And, not only is it open source, it's a fork of PrussaSlicer, so Bambu doesn't have the ability to re-license it.

It's licensed under the Affero GPL which is very strict about the licensing of derived works. That license requires Bambu to include the source code to any additions they make, including all of the logic, keys, etc. that they're baking into any binary distributions. If they don't, they're violating the copyright rights of Prussa and many others.

So, either Bambu has to open source all of this, which defeats the purpose (given that it's already leaked, that's gonna happen anyway) or they have to route everything through a separate program for their own slicer.

Civil law recognizes the concept of awarding punitive damages against a defendant whose conduct is deemed to have been illegal or otherwise of such an abhorrent nature that punitive damages are warranted to deter such behavior by this defendant as well as serving as a deterrent to others.

Knowingly obtaining millions of copyrighted materials that were posted illegally simply to serve your own financial interests, might very well qualify.
