Any update on this? I am not directly impacted, but am unsure about others in my company. Assuming that they may be:

* Any specifics on the (potential) impact for affected users?

* What they should do to get it removed?

Edit: There does seem to be a little bit more information available over at Bleeping Computer[1], but the precise nature of what the malware does is unclear at this time other than that it may be some type of "supply chain attack". It would be good to hear more about the specifics.

Forget FTL,. 5C, I'm generous.
If the AI response feature promises something I cannot deliver, who is liable?
I am not discounting anything.

I look at what we are seeing today. Trump is more powerful than he as ever been. In Europe, European-skeptic parties are rising, the far right and the far left are rising as well and the center is slowly crumbling.

Those are facts. So the question is why are the center right/left politicians not acknowledging the problems and trying to find adequate solutions? Why do they let the far right and the far left being seen as the ones who are/will be doing something?

The horseshoe theory is real. If you look at France, the far left and the far right merged their votes and forced the previous government to resign.

If that is not a sign that something is seriously wrong, then I don't know what to tell you.
What happened in Europe? I’m an immigrant in Europe myself to be honest
Would hosting in Europe really help?

I’m under the impression that current EU case law makes it impossible for EU-based government entities to store personal data in services owned by US entities, no matter where they are hosted.

Maybe I misunderstood this?

Someone has told me that all the EU governments using Office 365 are basically violating the GDPR and getting away with it (for now). Any truth to that?
I don't know, but my first thought was, best at what?

- dealing with gnarly legacy code that is running in high-importance production environment (must be cautious and conservative) vs. green-field development (pays to try new technologies out)

- solo vs. in-a-team development (different emphasis on speed vs. clarity)

The perfect developer would, of course, be the best at all of these, but in practice the personality to be good at one is usually the opposite of the personality to be good at another.
> Remember that to display, edit, transform (underline, italicize, fonts) the documents you write in MacWrite necessarily requires copying your document data from disk to memory to cpu to memory to display – lots of copying. Did Claris need the rights to your copyright to allow you to edit your documents in its software?

This analogy doesn't hold water in the context of giving the coparty access to your intellectual property and detracts from the point the author is trying to make. The answer is no, obviously, because Claris never had the information. The only place that information existed was in some software that lived on and only on your machine did that processing at your request.
>A lone multibillionaire in a society of impoverished people has a deeply boring and dangerous life.

1. Multibillionaires don't live amongst impoverished people and aren't in any danger anytime soon. The homeless tents don't affect Zuck, Musk or Bezos, and there's very few resourceful Luigis out there willing to destroy their lives to put billionaires in danger. They're more likely to be hit by lightning than be in any danger from the poor. Not to mention they're always surrounded by private security in public.

2. Any statistics you look at, the median and average american citizen is far from being impoverished even by rich developed country western standards. I recommend people visit some developing countries to get a perspective on what true poverty looks like.

That is not what the supreme court found at all. In the opinion of the supreme court, they found that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission acted in religious hostility in their evaluation of Masterpiece, and that the commission lacked consistency among similar cases. Kennedy's opinion noted that he may have been inclined to rule in favor of the Commission if it had remained religiously neutral in previous evaluations.

They did not evaluate if the ""personal liberty" of the cake shop was more important than the civil rights of the customer". The Court explicitly avoided ruling broadly on the intersection of anti-discrimination laws and rights to free exercise.

How does that even apply here? Assuming you aren't living with family it's fair to assume you have to spend money on housing. So the question is, do you want to keep some of that money in the form of equity or give all of it to your landlord?

The root cause is it need 30 years to establish a self-sustaining life. The average first birth of Japanese women are reaching to almost 30 years old

Most Japanese are expected to graduate high school(18 years), more than half of them get a degree(22 years minimum). Then you start working for many years.

The issue is clear. If we make our life self-sustaining in late teen, problem will be solved.

I have an idea that works but nobody(including myself) appreciate it.

Spread certain religions like Christianity or Islam.

Significantly reduce University students.

Significantly reduce high school students, especially female students.

Abandon modern health care so significant percentage of people die before reaching 15 years old.(It may sounds like counter-intuitive, but this situation motivate human to give more birth)

It has serious moral issue as well as political and economical issues. We somehow manage to keep the political stability and food supply under this condition.

I think it's more reasonable we wait for the natural selection that evolve the human to give a healthy first birth in their 50s.

Yes, having infinite money can solve quite a few problems, but it also introduces new ones!

I can't see how in a world full of recordings how in person, live performance art could get anything but vastly more valuable.

I saw a stage performance of Clue a few weeks ago. It was lovely. Nothing was AI generated, and couldn't be, because it was people physically making art live. How nice.

I will continue to pay for those experiences and to prioritize them over recorded ones.
One of the best examples of a food industry (grains) being able to influence eating habits to their benefit.

Anyway, the phrase "healhty" in relation to food is a bit of a trigger phrase to me nowadays, healthy how? It's completely lacking in nuance. Apples are healthy, except when you eat 200 seeds at which point the cyanide gets to a lethal dose. Granola is healthy, unless you eat it three times a day and little else. You get the idea. The problem there is "x is healthy" makes people overconsume it and ignore anything that isn't marked "healthy".

"healthy" eating takes work, study, and moderation.
Thanks for the links. I found it interesting that the site was programmed using Elm; was there any particular reason for this? Also a comment on the fonts. Although I understand it is easier to combine the fonts to include a Latin script, I prefer the Google fonts approach that they only include the specific Unicode slots for a certain script. This make it easier for publications to have consistent typography, although is a hassle to an extend. What program do researchers in the field normally use for papers? I use LuaLaTeX and easy to map macros to print the right glyph.

You don't hear too many stories of people lighting lithium batteries on fire intentionally and inhaling the results (compare with nitrous, paint fumes, air duster, etc.), so I'm guessing there's not much there.
well that's the thing, you never know. certainly if i ever used rust to a serious degree, i'd not stop using darcs. however right now that'd necessitate bypassing the whole package management part of cargo, at least for my own libraries (and i suffer from a terminal case of NIH syndrome)

i don't think it's reasonable to assert that my own quirks and tastes are explicitly tended to. and that's why ideally you just give the programmer space to do whatever, hence why it's so hard. vcs is just one single point of contention. this isn't unique to rust by the way. cargo is arguably a bit better than the dune experience, it's a bit more flexible and feels simpler.

arguably system package managers are better here, since they're effectively opt-in by choosing what distribution of what operating system you use. language package managers don't have that luxury.
Know of any UI/component kits where you can copy/waste into vanilla HTML? Tailwindui has support for it, but it's all I could find.
Yeah, it's annoying, but also nothing particularly new I believe. There seem to be two types of garbage links added by default:

1. "Sponsored shortcuts" that can be "easily" turned off in `about:preferences#home`

2. I guess "non-sponsored" shortcuts? I believe they pointed to Facebook, eBay, and something else (Pinterest maybe). Those have to be removed/"blocked" individually. I think they end up in `browser.newtabpage.blocked` after doing so.

I don't like that this is a thing I have to do whenever I set up a new Firefox install. It's not often, to be fair, but it still sucks nonetheless.

Um, your link does not support your implied claim. It is only illegal to actively transmit and interfere. None of the equipment is illegal to own. The entire idea that radio equipment would be intrinsically illegal to own is some sort of misunderstanding or confabulation.

I guess you're thinking about the, "It is also unlawful to advertise, sell, distribute, import, or otherwise market jamming devices to consumers in the United States."

But this means what it says. It doesn't mean you can't own devices that can generate and transmit arbitrary signals on arbitrary frequencies. I means you can't advertise, sell, distribute, import or market devices to consumers explicitly saying they're for jamming. That's pretty clear and does not make ownership of devices illegal.

This UK law really is unprecedented and very stupid. It is not a continuation of a status quo anywhere.

> The federal agency does more than ensure that Americans have a place to hunt, hike, fish, or paddle. In the South, forest workers played a key role in helping western North Carolina and other communities recover from impacts of Hurricane Helene. In the West, they’re taking on fire risk mitigation and fighting wildfires. They’re also involved in fisheries management in places like Alaska. Across the country, agency biologists and foresters are busy working to strengthen the over 150 national forests and 20 grasslands it monitors in the face of changing climate.

> “That means you’re going to see those campgrounds close, the trails go unmaintained, roads closed, you’re going to feel the effects of wildfire and hurricane recovery work that’s just going to remain undone,” said Reynolds. “Communities are going to struggle.”

the US Forest Service maintains our parks, ensuring the safety and longevity of the park system. this involves emergency response and critical research in the face of climate change, among many, many other responsibilities.

Indicate this is not only about uploading to them, but also just using Firefox to upload anything to somewhere.

Firefox has Mozilla facilitated services in it, and the license is saying " we get to use the data we see to help the service".

Really the whole document looks like it was copy-pasted from some SaaS template.

Does Mozilla not have a lawyer that reviewed this who knows what a browser is?
The tool could include all known open source fonts, and for the rest, maybe could have a model recreate missing fonts for non-patented fonts, as while font files (.ttf, .otf, .woff, etc.) are copyrighted, styles usually do not have design patents, so tracing and re-creating them is usually not an issue as far as I'm aware (not a lawyer.) [1]

Though if it accidentally "traces" one of the few exceptions, then you've potentially committed a crime, and the big difficulty in typeface detection you mention increases those odds. That said, there are so few exceptions that even if the model couldn't properly identify a font, it might be able to identify whether a font is likely to have a design patent.

I do think getting an AI to create a high quality vector font from a potentially low-res raster graphic is going to be quite challenging though. Raster to vector tools I've tried in the past left a bit to be desired.

1. https://www.copyright.gov/comp3/chap900/ch900-visual-art.pdf

> As a general rule, typeface, typefont, lettering, calligraphy, and typographic ornamentation are not registrable. 37 C.F.R. § 202.1(a), (e). These elements are mere variations of uncopyrightable letters or words, which in turn are the building blocks of expression. See id. The Office typically refuses claims based on individual alphabetic or numbering characters, sets or fonts of related characters, fanciful lettering and calligraphy, or other forms of typeface. This is true regardless of how novel and creative the shape and form of the typeface characters may be.

> There are some very limited cases where the Office may register some types of typeface, typefont, lettering, or calligraphy, such as the following:

> • Pictorial or graphic elements that are incorporated into uncopyrightable characters or used to represent an entire letter or number may be registrable. Examples include original pictorial art that forms the entire body or shape of the typeface characters, such as a representation of an oak tree, a rose, or a giraffe that is depicted in the shape of a particular letter.

> • Typeface ornamentation that is separable from the typeface characters is almost always an add-on to the beginning and/or ending of the characters. To the extent that such flourishes, swirls, vector ornaments, scrollwork, borders and frames, wreaths, and the like represent works of pictorial or graphic authorship in either their individual designs or patterned repetitions, they may be protected by copyright. However, the mere use of text effects (including chalk, popup papercraft, neon, beer glass, spooky-fog, and weathered-and-worn), while potentially separable, is de minimis and not sufficient to support a registration.

> The Office may register a computer program that creates or uses certain typeface or typefont designs, but the registration covers only the source code that generates these designs, not the typeface, typefont, lettering, or calligraphy itself. For a general discussion of computer programs that generate typeface designs, see Chapter 700, Section 723.
