“
We’ve heard concerns from some smaller services that the new rules will be too burdensome for them. Some of them believe they don’t have the resources to dedicate to assessing risk on their platforms, and to making sure they have measures in place to help them comply with the rules. As a result, some smaller services feel they might need to shut down completely.

So, we wanted to reassure those smaller services that this is unlikely to be the case“

“If organisations have carried out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment and determined, with good reason, that the risks they face are low, they will only be expected to have basic but important measures to remove illegal content when they become aware of it. These include:

easy-to-find, understandable terms and conditions;
a complaints tool that allows users to report illegal or harmful material when they see it, backed up by a process to deal with those complaints;
the ability to review content and take it down quickly if they have reason to believe it is illegal; and
a specific individual responsible for compliance, who we can contact if we need to.”

Your turn. Where are these compliance costs?
They remind me of a badly played "Cuica" instrument, hah - maybe my siblings traumatized me with squeaky straws in lids or something, but I find eagle screeches to be obnoxious.
There's quite a few differences between HuggingFace's Open Deep-Research and Zilliz's DeepSearcher.

I think the biggest one is the goal: HF is to replicate the performance of Deep Research on the GAIA benchmark whereas ours is to teach agentic concepts and show how to build research agents with open-source.

Also, we go into the design in a lot more detail than HF's blog post. On the design side, HF uses code writing and execution as a tool, whereas we use prompt writing and calling as a tool. We do an explicit break down of the query into sub-queries, and sub-sub-queries, etc. whereas HF uses a chain of reasoning to decide what to do next.

I think ours is a better approach for producing a detailed report on an open-ended question, whereas HFs is better for answering a specific, challenging question in short form.
Speculations on Test-Time Scaling (o1) [video]
It is a thing for sure. How often it happens, I don't know.

I read a number of stories about school children being cyber-bullied on some kind of semi-closed forum. Some of these ended in suicide. Hell, it uses to happen a lot on Facebook in the early days.

I totally understand a desire to make it illegal, past a certain threshold. I can see how you start off legislating with this in mind, then 20 committees later you end up with some kind of death star legislation requiring every online participant to have a public key and court-attested age certificate, renewed annually. Clearly that's nonsense, but I do understand the underlying desire.

Because without it, you have no recourse if you find something like this online. For action to be even available, there has to be a law that says it's illegal.
A joke: Good PMs will do invisible work. Bad PMs are just invisible.
Not the whole file but it would duplicate the block. GP didn't claim that the whole file is copied.
To probe for what? How does knowledge of a column name make it easier for me to discern whether a SQL injection vulnerability exists? I've spent a lot of time in my career probing for SQL injection, and I can't remember an instance where my stimulus/response setup involved the table names.

SQL injection is a property of a SQL query, not of the schema itself. To have a meaningful chance of blind-one-shotting a query, getting a TRUE/FALSE answer about susceptibility without ever generating a SQL syntax error, I would need to see the queries themselves.
> So don't make it then?

You presume to have internalized Framework's core-values more than the founder/CEO? The box is not my cup of tea,but they are free to experiment.
I’m happy to answer questions folks have on the Framework Desktop (though probably not until later today).
I know construction projects regularly go over budget, but they still give estimates. That's my entire point. Why do software engineers feel their domain is special.

Projects across all domains face the same problems we do and yet the only domain I can think of where it's normal to not provide an estimate for work up front is US health care pricing and just about everyone has a pretty major issue with the way that is run.
Uncle Bob has been a horrible influence on our industry, and we’re expressing that. He has not actually worked on anything but yet he’s been able to make some money selling his inexperienced opinions.
The desktop is fascinating if AMD can pull off Rocm this round. 128GB of unified memory for only $1,999, but you get an AMD GPU.
> online hate and radicalization really is a thing

People have always had opinions. Some people think other people's opinions are poor. Talking online was already covered by the law (eg laws re slander).

Creating the new category of 'hate speech' is more about ensuring legal control of messages on a more open platform (the internet) in a way that wasn't required when newspapers and TV could be managed covertly. It is about ensuring that the existing control structures are able to keep broad control of the messaging.
Just about every problem is a leadership problem.
Yes, Linux has a systemcall to do this for any filesystem with reflink support (and it is safe and atomic). You need a "driver" program to identify duplicates but there are a handful out there. I've used https://github.com/markfasheh/duperemove and was very pleased with how it worked.
Again: the post explains why the court determined schemas to be file layouts, and none of it involves any of the logic you've supplied here. Even Chicago didn't try to claim that a schema was a "software".
"Worse glass" is a religious position if we're talking about Sigma glass. Especially considering how likely it is that any given name-brand lens is actually a Sigma design, or a Sigma design and build.
You have found an argument that proves too much.
I've spent a lifetime taking photos with all sort of cameras, and in my experience unless someone is paying for the photos I never use a camera that doesn't fit in my pocket, and over half the time that is an iPhone.

In UX there is a concept of 'don't make me think' - the camera corollary is 'don't make me carry'.
DOGE is literally USDS under a new name, per the executive order that created it.
It's dated from ~2 weeks ago... is there other date information I am missing?
This is exactly the way to do it, although ideally you don't have any in-house marketing and just have an emergency firm on retainer.
I'll avoid searching for other examples, as you seem to want to latch onto the example itself rather than the broader message the examples communicate. The fact is that some people are shutting down operations of websites, deleting data, etc. in response to this law.

Just considering that the law is forcing people to think about shutting down operations is a sign that the law is having a chilling effect. Both for existing websites and the potential creation of new ones.

Just because you believe yourself to be the sole arbiter of which websites are valuable and which can be deleted without worry doesn't change the fact that this law is having a negative effect on small websites.

Perhaps with better communication about the law, rather than the hundreds on hundreds of pages of vague guidance, the law could remain as-is and small website operators wouldn't be as concerned. However, that is not the case.
Is this true? Wouldn't all the "site to markdown" type services be infringing then?
it's a bit more complicated than that:

while remaining_employees > trumpist_employees:
print("ur fired")
remaining_employees =- 1
No he didn't. The grandparent comment here was just a snarky put-down. No part of my testimony was impacted by a casual write-up I did about it 4 years after the fact.
There was a research paper on doing data-over-sound with sounds that were designed to be pleasing to humans.

The demos sounded like little R2D2 blips and sputters.

Perhaps a researcher for Microsoft or something.

Anyone know the paper I'm talking about? I can't find it.
And, at least for one of them, they also tweet all day while somehow being invaluable in providing leadership for like 5 companies. At the same time. I can't even successfully effectively juggle 4-5 _projects_ at a time.
Kinda sad and ironic that the symbol of American freedom is thriving right now...
I've been watching several "vibe coding" vids on the youtubes. https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383

Some of them are painful. Some are impressive. The projects are small. Sometimes pulling in powerful off-the-shelf modules. They are getting better fast.

As a greybeard software architect, my current annoyance is that I'm spending all day talking to people when I want to get some practice voice prompting code :P
I'm fortunate to work for a company with great PMs at the moment, but in the past, it's usually been the case that PMs blur the line between PMs and engineers by making us do their job for them. That they can use AI to appear productive is not a promising development.
Kam Buckner is trying to get something passed at the state level (but wouldn't apply to Oak Park. https://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=3288&GAID... )

No-one who shoots M-mount at this point is giving up their rangefinder for an LCD-only camera with no viewfinder.
You’re missing the point. The law is so vague and broad that it could be interpreted as covering even far more innocuous content than the few extreme examples you listed here.
Looool "those people should thank us for colonizing their countries, we brought them road"...
Downloaded. Ran it. Tells me "900" files can be cleaned. No summary, no list. But I was at least asked to buy the app. Why would I buy the app if I have no idea if it'll help?
Are you trying to make the point that people don’t care or aren’t aware of the fact that their clothes are made in sweatshops by linking to a western blog extensively detailing the brands that use sweatshops with the implied point that you should avoid them because they are bad?

Sweatshops are bad. Westerns know this. They don’t want sweatshops.

Seeing YC back a sweatshop management application that uses AI to help managers harass their workers is sad. It would
be similar to them investing in faster slave ships in the 1850s.
> ...the first Framework Laptop 12 motherboard is going to use Intel's 13th-generation Core i3 and i5 processors

I _really_ hope they launch an AMD version (perhaps with an iGPU) soon after that.
That and preferably with Libreboot support. This would make it the ideal portable laptop for me and thus I'd be able to (finally!) replace my X220T.
It's still a modular computer, just not a laptop. It's more like if Tesla made an electric scooter
A standardised sound throughout
This option in general seems odd to me. Wouldn't all contributors to the project need to coordinate their exclusions manually this way? Am I missing something?
Good stuff here. But I don‘t like the auto pruning suggestion as a reasonable global default. Or at least this shows that users who really see this as useful see no real difference between git and let’s say SVN. The whole idea is that the system is distributed and that you don‘t follow blind another upstream. But I grant the fact that most projects are not developed like the Linux kernel for which git was created.
But there is another issue. I personally like the fact that I keep a history of old branches etc. This can also save me if I or another person in the team deletes a branch by accident. I assume that pruning would maybe not delete the objects right away. Need to check that.

What would actually happen if I have a branch under development and it gets deleted from remote? Will it remove locally for me then? I guess only when my local head is equal to what remote pointed to.
The GoP is almost comically obsessed with policing people's genitals.
But this isn't a "narrow adult", it's a broadly evil adult.

You're of course allowed to disagree, but past a certain point you're yelling at clouds and people might think you're insane.

It's very simple logic, and it doesn't require your understanding to be true. Piracy is good for companies? Really? That's... your legitimate position?

If nobody is paying for anything how does a company operate? That's not a rhetorical question. Is it fairy dust? Perhaps magical pixies keep the lights running?

If you don't have explanations for even the simplest of problems with your position, your position isn't worth listening to.
I want a lens mount "case" for my iphone that lets me connect high end lenses and has its own full frame sensor and image stabilization tech inside.
I agree. I was an early adopter and have a Framework 13 11th gen intel (batch 4) and have been generally happy with it. Except the keyboard stopped working and I had to replace it, ~100 tiny screws later (and one stripped screw). And the battery drains fast (~24 hours) when suspended. And except that it won't turn on anymore without plugging into a particular USB-C port with a "dumb" USB cable (the basic 5V 900mA type) even with a full battery charge. And there hasn't been a BIOS update for this mainboard since Sep 2022.

I understand that a new company with a new product is going to have issues. But I would have strongly preferred they spent the time and effort (and money) fixing or replacing these 1st gen mainboards rather than branching out into a very non-Framework area like desktop gaming PCs.
It baffles me that people can't see the writing on the wall for Musk, he's being given all the rope in the world to hang himself with.

He's made promises he can't deliver.

He's pissed off the ENTIRE federal government.

His own people are bailing.

Trump admin told feds they can ignore the "DOGE" order.

He isn't an appointee, just an advisor (ergo no real legal cover).

He's a rich ketamine addict who is in so far over his head that he doesn't even realize he's drowning. I give him 1-2 months before the backlash builds to the point that Trump finishes using him as a human shield and discards him.

Seemingly the only people who don't realize that are the breathless headline-readers, and Musk himself. I love this place when it talks about tech, but my lord the political illiteracy is shocking.
> Normally, a flustered public records officer would just reject a giant request for being for “unduly burdensome”… but this sort of estimate is practically unheard of. So much so that other FOIA nerds have told me that this is the second biggest request they've ever seen. The passive aggression is thick. Needless to say, it's not something I'm willing to pay for!

Welcome to Seattle :-)
You have 4 years to address the issue, but instead chose resignation. Rather than collaborating with the other three to help guide the fifth away from radical positions. Now is probably the easiest time to do something against it before it's 2 out of 5 or even worse. What did YOU do in the last 4 years?
what u guys think about it?
If you dismiss all the parts of APOSD that you agree with as straightforward and trivial, then obviously the only parts left for consideration are the parts you disagree with. APOSD is not an academic paper, it does not claim to be wholly and truly original. You are presumably an expert programmer, so it makes complete sense that much of the content discussed in APOSD appears to be "straightforward platitudes". To you, the content is trivial and obvious. But to the new grad with one year of work experience, the content is novel and informative. Perhaps you should take your own advice and consider the context.

A lot of people who travel internationally occasionally transit through UK jurisdiction, such as a connection at LHR. This potentially places forum operators in personal legal jeopardy. Would the UK authorities really go after some random citizen of another country for this? Probably not, but the risk isn't zero.

Agreed, I don't want my checkout implicitly ignoring a file somebody else's checkout wouldn't.
Wowzers, that was a lot of words to express something that's very simple.

A database schema is just an empty form. By looking at an empty form, you know what fields have be filled in, what type of information they'll contain, etc.

Of course people making data requests need to know what forms are being used to collect and store information.

As for security - not letting people do anything because 'it might be dangerous' is bonkers. The way to secure databases has been known for decades. Let's start living in the 21st century :)
I see no reason why hate speech should be given the benefit of the doubt. And no, it's not because my government told me so, I have my own opinion, which is that freedom of speech ends where threats of violence appear.

If you don't want it tolerated online, which I don't, you need some kind of legal statement saying so. Like a law that says, you can't do it, and websites can't just shrug their shoulders and say it's not their problem.

I don't line this legislation as it seems to be excessive, but I disagree that the root issue it tries to address is a made up problem.

EDIT it just struck me that in speech and otherwise, the US has a far higher tolerance for violence - and yes I do mean violence. Free speech is taken much further in the US, almost to the point of inciting violence. Liberal gun laws mean lots of people have them, logically leading to more people being shot. School shootings are so much more common, and it appears there is no widespread conclusion to restrict gun ownership as a result.

Maybe that's a core difference. Europeans genuinely value lower violence environments. We believe all reasonable things can be said without it. That doesn't make this legislation good. But at least it makes sense in my head why some people glorify extreme free speech (bit of a tired expression in this age).
I think the point of the lawsuit is less about CANVAS schema itself and more about the ability of the government to hide this kind of information from FOIA requests.

I met David Sparks back at WWDC in 2018. One of the real ones. Definitely one of those internet people who inspired me make the jump out of Silicon Valley to do my own thing a few years ago. Meeting him made it real. Glad he's writing about it.
Is that assuming the water expelled from the person can be reused or not?

That's why this has half the resolution of my current same size 12'' tablet, even though my current device has also half the battery capacity, and likely costed half than this thing will cost.

Even if you use today's prices, the cheapest iPad has almost double the resolution. No, 1080p at 12'' it is not plenty dense. You do not put this smaller thing as far from your face as a 24'' monitor.
Lol, I forgot all about that - though there were some cute chicks over there. I remember chatting with one about her upcoming French Toast test :-)
How is the planning progress on a trackpoint module?
That is ideal, but also pretty unnecessary. The only thing AMD has to support on their end is Vulkan, and the work on that front is effectively finished. What Valve can offer is HID support for handheld hardware and potentially shader caching servers for huge swaths of identical hardware models.

With a desktop there's a limit to what Valve can commit to. There's not a single controller firmware to support, and probably not even a consistent GPU setup to cache for. The extent of realistic support for these AMD boards is kinda fully realized at this point. Proton is, and will remain, a plug-and-play experience for AMD users that own supported hardware.

How do these open protocol apps handle moderation?

It still seems like some level of moderation is an important feature for a social network of any kind, even if quantifying what the "right" amount is nearly impossible.

Absolutely agree with this observation. And I think it’s a great outcome.

The vibe coding Reddit (http://reddit.com/r/vibecoding) already contains the full spectrum of “first time trying to code” to “just rolled my own custom GPT to optimize this.”
Yep. You can get an M3 Max refurbished, but will make some tradeoff with GPU performance.
Similar story in Europe with white tailed eagles, which are quite similar in size. They were extinct in my area for maybe 60 years and recently returned and even started to hatch.
One Sided Terms?
I an any business deal or negotiation, both parties negotiate and come to mutually agreeable terms. In case of software or digital purchases, it seems the providers can unilaterally impose terms, change them as they deem fit even when the user does not want to be bothered by the updated terms. It is even more pressing when it comes to AI models, the companies can scrape and use all the content available for them but explicitly write in their terms of agreements users can’t use the output train their systems. How did we come to this?
The more I tried to implement Clean Code, the more it helped me appreciate Worse is Better approach, which comes from an observation, not a dogma: while all programmers strive for simplicity both in implementation and interface, when they come into conflict, simple implementation usually wins over simple interfaces, as they are easier to modify.

One of my cats is the same way. If anything, he's _more_ excited by getting attention from me than he is from food. Sometimes when he'll be eating, I'll get up from my desk (which is at the far side of the living room from the couches) and he'll notice and excitedly run off to the opposite side of the living room and hop on the couch and stare up at me until I come over because I've conditioned him to go there to get pets and cuddles (since he originally would try to lead me to a spot on the floor where it was far less comfortable to sit). Although he really loves a specific brand of treats, he's at least as much excited by just getting some love from his favorite humans (who are, in order, my wife, then me, then my mother-in-law, and then anyone else who's he's met enough to trust and want affection from) as he is from getting treats.
tbh I would love to see full length video walking through the work that Kepler did with actual numbers, to me that part remained bit unclear. Especially how to get some quantitative values out of the analysis, considering how the eccentricity of the orbits is not really something easily visually discernible.

> In principle, using the measurements to all the planets at once could allow for some multidimensional analysis that would be more accurate than analyzing each of the planets separately

(from the blog post)

I'd also love to see this idea expanded further. Intuitively it feels like adding Venus into the calculations should dramatically help constrain the orbit of Mars, but how exactly that would work out I'm not sure.
I have heard this a few times from different people/places, but why is it the case that at 50+ it is harder to find work? Assuming a regular retirement age, there are still many more years left in the career than a typical tech employment lasts.
Hopefully, Musk being a disaster for Trump is similarly oracular.
