While I'm in Firefox camp, I hate the sensational half-truths in this comic. And why does it impersonate the original creator and Google Chrome team?
It’s not about raw speed. If you want raw speed, you will be better off getting an x86 desktop or laptop. Except of course where the unified memory/GPU comes into play where an M1 Mac will win.

The benefit of the Mx Macs are the combination of speed, quietness, battery life and lack of heat.
In 2024 256 million PCs were sold but only 40 million of those were desktops. Excluding the fact that some PCs (hard to say a number but I'd be surprised if it weren't over 40%) are office PCs with crappy GPUs, most laptops also have a bad, integrated GPU.

There's a chance that this year or the next one more GPUs will be sold for AI than for graphics.

For context, I live in Germany and am familiar with the landscape here. Also, I would not equate a 501(c)3 to a gGmbH; gGmbH is more like a B Corp (at least in some of the states that allow it; corporate law differs from state to state in the US). A gemeinnützige Stiftung (Foundation for public purpose) is much closer to a 501c3 than a gGmbH, and a Familienstiftung (Family foundation) is closer to a family trust. (At least for tax purposes, which is the territory I'm most familiar with in this comparison).

But that's not what I'm asking about. Unlike in the US, Stiftungs in Germany (both family and public-purpose) can own an unrestricted percentage of shares -- including all of them -- in normal companies (Kapitalgesellschaften). And I'm specifically interested *not* in restructuring a GmbH as a Stiftung, which is what Ecosia decided against, but rather, I'm wondering if there are any resources available discussing pros and cons of forming a Stiftung as a holding entity, fully owning a GmbH subsidiary (such a construct is not legally possible in the US).

From my perspective, this holding structure would provide much better legal insulation (in both directions) from the founders, preserve the operational flexibility of the (operational) GmbH, while allowing distributions from the GmbH (which would, by definition of being a 100% stakeholder, flow exclusively into the Stiftung) to be distributed by the (purely administrative) Stiftung, according to the founding documents. But I've never seen such an arrangement discussed in depth, which is why I'm asking about it.
No, copyright law doesn't say anything about privately modifying a work. Only about distributing derived works.

It would behoove you to check the license in order to confirm that whoever gave it to you had the right to do so.

Beyond confirming that you have a legit copy, you don't have to be concerned with the license at all, if you're not redistributing anything.

The vendors of proprietary software and their lawyers dreamed up this idea that a license can lapse based on the user's non-redistributing uses of the work. For instance, if the user reverse-engineers the binary code to understand how it works, then they become unlicensed, the idea then being that they are perpetrating copyright infringement by continuing to have a copy.

The AGPL falls into this category.

The restriction itself does not come from copyright law; copyright law doesn't say things like that allowing network users to interact with a software program is an infringing activity, or that reading the work to understand it is infringing activity.
You're not filtering on honesty, but desperation. The desperate will lie because of the higher stakes for themselves.

The guy who’ll make the GUI for LLMs is the next Jobs/Gates/Musk and Nobel Prize Winner (I think it’ll solve alignment by having millions of eyes on the internals of LLMs), because computers became popular only after the OS with a GUI appeared.

> I can very clearly remember installing the card and then loading up 2Fort4 in the Team Fortress mod and suddenly being able to see THROUGH THE WATER.

Searching for "2Fort4" in YouTube yielded some interesting videos for people curious what the original Quake Mod version of the map looked like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJh36LuKwVQ&pp=ygUGMkZvcnQ0

As someone who still spends at least 3 hours a week playing 2Fort on the current Team Fortress 2, it's fascinating to see how the core of the map is still basically the same after 20 years.

I’ve had this idea for many years, but never found the time to build it. Now, with AI, it only took about an hour to build.

The objective of the game is to put all arrows in alignment. Point them the same way.

When you click an arrow, it rotates 90° clockwise. It also rotates all neighboring arrows.

All puzzles are solvable, but as you increase the grid size and difficulty level it will become progressively harder.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think. I’d also love to hear any strategies you come up with.
This largely fits with a pattern I've been seeing with LLM coding. The models are often helpful, sometimes extremely so, when it comes to creating prototypes or other small greenfield projects. They can also be great at producing a snippet of code in an unfamiliar framework or language. But when it comes to modifying a large, messy, complicated code base they are much less helpful. Some people find them a useful as a beefed up autocomplete, while others don't see enough gains to offset the time/attention to use them.

I think a lot of arguments about LLM coding ability stem from people using them for the former or the latter and having very different experiences.
It was also pretty great for media consumption on the go in a world before iPads. I always felt like it compared with the netbooks, and preferred the full OS on a real machine than the watered down netbooks, but agree it was most impactful for my time in editors and terminals and not UI apps.

Is an interview question copyrightable?

I am sure that if someone is uploading the specific wording of an interview question, then that would potentially be a copyright violation. But if they're just describing the problem in their own words (for instance "I was asked to design a system for selling movie tickets") then there shouldn't be a copyright issue.

The article is deeply confused.

It’s true that optical clocks will improve the accuracy of our measurement of time, and it’s true that GPS depends on time, but there are several steps between primary frequency standards (ie, optical clocks) and GPS, and several more steps between GPS and navigation applications.

So optical clocks cannot, in fact, have any effect on the end-user perceived reliability of GPS.

For that, the best solution is to revive LORAN which is much less susceptible to jamming. (And would also benefit from better atomic clocks.)
Again, this only takes basic experience in coffee/cafe drinks to understand this is true. The standard espresso based drinks are: espresso, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, cortado, flat white, americano, mocha, and a few other varieties. Every single one of those starts with a double shot of espresso (~1.5-2 fl oz of liquid). This is sometimes even referred to as a 'single shot' even though 1.5oz would put you in what is considered a double shot.

There may be some niche drinks that use less espresso liquid, but they're not common. If I was only given 0.8 fl oz (which, is what a single shot looks like) in an espresso drink I would be upset.

My comment was a reflection on discourse of the article here. The US has pulled support for providing further jamming reprogramming but way the article is written clearly was giving readers the impression the systems are US specific and only able to be programmed by the US.

Evidenced by most comments on HN at the time I posted not being about the software support per se being withdrawn but jumping off the premise it was only programmable by the US, with comment chains ranging from US software and supplied aircraft can't be trusted to going so far as talking about kill switches. This led to a very noisy, knee-jerky discussion based on an incorrect basis.

Quotes from the OP's article:

> Ukrainian pilots are not receiving updates, and the programs could soon become obsolete [...] France’s Mirage 2000s are equipped with their own powerful jammers, and the Americans are not involved in their programming.

> In the longer term, the Ukrainians could refit their F-16s with non-American electronic countermeasures [...] But that could take time and money...

Now contrast to the original Forbes citation which explained the US team doing the reprogramming wasn't even familiar with the system until being tasked to reprogram it for use in Ukraine, doing so in just two weeks and it being a multi-national effort with two European countries and an overseas facility.

Had the discourse began with that there would still be criticism of the government's decision, given the US was leading the reprogramming effort, but with clarity on what was occurring.

> you should just rewrite a lot of your stuff anyway

Continuously refactoring when adding features, fixing bugs, or dealing with external changes keeps code fresh and free of cruft. Also removing dead code, deprecating and removing little-used features, refining behavior to remove unused edge cases ensures focused and useful systems.
It's not controversial, it's the truth.

In part 1, I build an emulator to run the code. In part 2 I verify that the punchcard data matches the source code I found online (https://www.quaxio.com/kaleidoscope_part2/). I performed this "reading from the tape" operation using inkscape since I only have a picture of the tape, I don't actually have a copy of the tape. In part 3 I show the structure of the code (https://www.quaxio.com/kaleidoscope_part3/).
When I had one, I found the ergonomics to be particularly bad because of how small the screen was. It was noticeably worse for my neck.

I loved the portability. It was so light and small that I could carry it with me almost without thinking about it. If your use case is to be "plugged in" to an external monitor most of the time, but you need the ability to pop open a laptop for brief periods while on the go, then I think this size is a good fit. If, on the other hand, you regularly engage in extended laptop use sessions away from a home or office, I would prefer something larger in spite of the inferior luggability. The 11-in is, in my opinion, too small for the "regularly work from a coffee shop" set.

> The low performers are usually managed out anyway.

That may be your experience, and kudos to companies that do this, but particularly in tech I've seen that not be the norm. Egregiously low performers are managed out, but performers who are basically just "low mediocre" can hang on for a long, long time in my experience, and tech companies often use layoffs as an opportunity to get rid of them. To be clear, not everyone who is let go in a layoff is a low performer (a lot of time it's just the luck of whatever business unit you're working in), but companies certainly take advantage of layoffs to get rid of low performers without needing reams and reams of documentation.

I didn’t fully grasp how poorly our US bread approximates the real thing until I visited Europe. It’s weirdly spongy and candy sweet, and that’s the “healthy” bread in the bread aisle. Our food culture is just kind of gross most of the time, and the ersatz health food is some of the worst, as it’s been punched up with loads of organic cane juice or pear juice concentrate. Or celery juice if it’s a product that wants to claim not to have added nitrates. And, it should go without saying, truckloads of salt.

Maybe there is a big opportunity for a startup, that will revolutionize hiring.
OpenAI is legally bound to its non-profit goals, but the problem is that any law requires enforcement. If OpenAI acts against that public interest, is the Delaware attorney general really going to know and be able to prosecute the case?

I think what's arguably more important than theoretical legal rights is actually having stewards that care about the public benefit rather than leaving someone who would really love to funnel everything to his pocketbook if he could in charge and trusting him to respect the law.

The history of Qwant itself should be a big red-flag.

At this point, why keeping the brand?

They have no real IP of interest and they are only associated with bad things... for the few people that knows them.

The only thing that is stable in its history, is the public funds put in there...

Now I assume that it's the only reason for Qwant to exist: to get public funding and do everything but an actual European search engine/index.

Also, Octave is quite successful on his hardware/network ventures, it's the complete opposite for the software/service part.
OVH would be much more popular if they knew how to make software, which is a decent Manager.

Crazy illustration of "nothing happens anymore." 3dfx seemed just as dominant in the 1990s as NVIDIA does today. But from founding to selling to asset sell-off, the company lasted just six years. Meanwhile NVIDIA has been king of the hill since the GeForce was released in 1999, which was 25 years ago.

>Then why have laws in the first place? Seriously, that's just self-defeating cynicism.

I guess that in the spirit of a the previous post, the obvious answer will be something like "having laws is to bind them, the money-less serfs, not to put any hindrance on us the masters and possessors of everything."
I have one question: wasn't the 3dfx a graphics postprocessor? I thought it didn't render the image in higher quality, but it did postprocessing only... Never had opportunity to have voodoo, but later, when got a decent NVIDIA, I played Need for Speed 2, which had demo videos "rendered in 3dfx" with snow etc, and my graphics was crispy and no-snowy. I tried to look up why my NVIDIA does not have those effects, and I learned that they were overlayed over the original image only by 3dfx voodoo...

In early 2000, I cobbled together a gaming PC from used parts that I bought or traded for. It had a K6-2, a Voodoo 2, and 192 MB of RAM. It was amazing and such an upgrade over my family’s Celeron. The big games were TFC, Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament, and StarCraft. We LAN’d every weekend. It was heaven.
Sure, chains of networks can guess at the "passable" answer much better/faster/cheaper etc. But that doesn't remove the core issue, that none of the sub-networks or decision trees can understand what it generates, and so it can't abort its work and output "no answer" or something similar.

The whole premise of original request was that user raises a task for NN which has a verifiable (maybe partially) answer. He sees incorrect answer and wishes that a "failure" was displayed instead. But NN can't verify correctness of it's output. After all G in GPT stands for Generative.
Would you say they are comparable to Rupert Murdoch and Conrad Black then?
True. Also, as someone with 30 hens which will soon be coming into peak spring production, I look forward to selling my extra eggs at current prices, assuming they don't fall soon. It never fails: when egg prices go up, I get family and friends hitting me up to buy some eggs at $3/dozen; and then when the store prices fall below that, I don't hear from them and I'm feeding the extras to my dogs.

It's funny how some things (real estate) are supposed to keep going up in price, and it's a disaster that requires government intervention if they don't, while for other things (eggs) just the opposite is true. I suppose it depends on who benefits from each.
I'm not suggesting that holding up a sign and marching down the street should be punished, but the protests over the past few years involved extensive property damage and assault and theft and seizure of property.

I'm not sure why anyone would think they could attack someone, vandalize, steal or destroy others property or trespassing and receiving extensive warning to leave wouldn't have consequences.
