For reference, here's the US legal code in question:

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

The spirit seems apparent, but in practice it's been used by awful people to destroy lives and exploit rent from artists and authors in damn near tyrannical ways.

The difference between the tech world in the late 80's (computers and software are common and important) and the rise of the smartphone/web eras is so massive as to be fundamentally different.

Yes, we had cars that existed in the 20's and 30s, but listening to those "oldheads" about what worked for them at that time if you were in the post-WW2 auto boom in the US wouldn't make sense. See also: aerospace pre/post jet propulsion.
I think they call it Gemini while it is a voice activated robotic arm that is very well designed. I doubt this has anything to do with LLC other than communicating with the robotic software.

Musk Retweet: Hitler Didn't Murder Millions of People, Public Sector Workers Did
> Maybe this is a justifiable order based on some legal technicality.

Not a technicality, there are procedures they have to follow for layoffs and they ignored them. They could do what they wanted, but not this way. This isn't "you didn't dot the I on this page, therefore start over", it's "you completely ignored the law and what any of literally thousands of people in government could have told you was the correct way to do this if you'd asked or cared, start over".

> But to me and half the country, it seems absurd that the president can’t perform the exec job that he was elected to do

He can, but he's not a dictator. He's a servant of the law. In theory, anyway. If the law says "the President must do X and Y to perform layoffs" then the President must do X and Y to perform layoffs or else he isn't doing his job, he's desecrating the office.

> just because a random judge in California appointed by the opposition party wants to undermine the party that was democratically elected to do exactly what they are doing

Fortunately, that's not what's happening here. He even gave the government enormous deference last week when it really, really looked like they were planning not to produce a key witness for cross examination, giving them until this week to sort their shit out, and instead they went "oh we withdraw that person's statement" (which that person had since contradicted, mind you) "and also we won't be producing them". That was kinda key to their case, and now this all looks shady as hell, that is not normal behavior. There are also accusations that at least one administrator was placed on leave for following an earlier order of this court, so there are multiple threads of illegality to track now, because the administration keeps generating them.

The consequence of that breathtaking amount of fucking around is that they're now finding out via the judge granting more-extensive relief for the plaintiffs.
While I really liked the video by vanderplas, I did return to it after a year or two and paused every time he presented a problem and then tried to solve it using for loops and thinking hard.

I barely succeeded in any of it. So at that point just look up the formula instead of bootstrapping.

I’ll give the second one a shot too.
This is perfectly usable, of course, but I’d write

var actualSize = Integer.highestOneBit(approxSize - 1) << 1;

purely to avoid involving the horrors that live beneath the humble pow() and log().

(Integer.highestOneBit, also known as “isolate leftmost bit”, “most significant one”, or the like, essentially has to be a primitive to be efficient, unlike its counterpart for the lowest bit, x&-x. The actual CPU instruction is usually closer to Integer.numberOfLeadingZeros, but that’s just a bitshift away.)

Right. This is this point of doing the research. I don't know a way to tear out the telelmetry on a Tesla. On a Subaru, on the other hand, it requires ripping a fuse.
>No legal precedent

Why do you interpret this to mean "absolutely can't do this"? "No precedent" seems to equally support both sides of the argument (that is, it provides no evidence; courts have not ruled). The other commenters arguments on the actual text of the statute seem more convincing to me than what you have so far provided.

While that is cool in principal, I'm not sure how well it'd actually work in reality. First, there is the technical challenge. My understanding is the weights can have a lot of fluctuation, especially early on. How do we actually determine how much influence a given piece of content has on the final weights?

Then if we get past that, my suspicion is that you could game the training. Like have as much of the process happen via public domain sources or pay-once licenses. That would cover a lot of the fundamental knowledge and processes. Then you could fine-tune on copyrighted data. That might actually make it easier to see how much influence on the final weights that content has, but is also would probably be a lot less influence. There's a big difference between a painting of an apple being the main contribution to the concept of "apple" in an image model, vs mention of that painting corresponding to a few weights that just reference a bunch of other concepts that were learned via open data.

Tesla Rebates Axed in Canadian Province as Trade War Widens
If you want to do true arbitrary palettes you also need to do projection of the unbound Oklab space onto the convex hull of the palette points. This is a tricky thing to get right, but I've found that the Oklab author's published gamut clamping for sRGB also translate well to arbitrary convex hulls.

If anyone's curious I've implemented this here: https://github.com/DDoS/Cadre/blob/main/encre/core/src/dithe...
I use it to map images from their source colour space to the lower gamut palettes of E Ink colour displays.
It really is mostly that, plus the wars. The first round of cuts came at about the same time we started the wars, LOL. The political line was that the tax cuts and (some fucking how) the wars would "pay for themselves" but the CBO was like "um, no, here is approximately how many trillions this will add to the debt" and gee, the latter turned out to be way, way closer to correct.

Now, of course, we also have the interest on all that new debt to worry about.

[EDIT] To be clear, the Democrats are also to blame for carrying on with the tax cuts, sometimes actively, when they had opportunities to end them.
No, the irregular shape allows run constraints that wouldn't be possible on a grid using rows/columns/lines.

This was my original complaint with database triggers. It ends up breaking where your important code exists.

However we're entering an age where database + authorization may be more and more available as an all-in-one solution. More vendors are realizing that REST style services are just a facade over a database anyway - so why have an application server?
That's like the ultimate pedantic nerd troll. Sure that's technically true that they themselves didn't do it but there's a key phrase a "responsible for" that is always implied when you indicate those leaders killed millions.

Unfortunately we communicate in sound bites and so this is the kind of statement you get from tweet length messages. I think there is a valuable discussion to be had on how people in the public sector enable the policies of leaders. In the military you are not to follow an illegal order. You are expected to be able to make that determination. This kind of discussion is better done in an essay form rather than a short one line message. So much gets lost in a short message around a complex topic but this is the world we have today.

Running it is probably costly, but there are papers on "influence analysis": Training data influence analysis and estimation: a survey (https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10994-023-064...)

Irrelevant, the discontinuity occurs at 0 not a negative number.

The limit of f(X) = (X-2)/(X-2) as X approaches 2 is 1, that doesn’t mean the function has a defined value at 2. Limits seem easy because most students really don’t understand limits and thus misuse them.

I believe with regulatory capture the companies that pushed for the regulation in the first place at least comply with it (and hopefully the regulation is not worthless). This behaviour by ClosedAI is even worse: push for the regulation, then push for the exemption.

> Pfizer Asks White House for Relief From FDA Drug Human Testing Rules

> Pfizer has asked the Trump administration to help shield pharmaceutical companies from a growing number of proposed state and federal regulations if they voluntarily share their human trial results with the federal government.

> In a 15-page set of policy suggestions released on Thursday, the Eliquis maker argued that the hundreds of human-testing-related bills currently pending across the US risk undercutting America’s technological progress at a time when it faces renewed competition from China. Pfizer said the administration should consider providing some relief for pharmaceutical companies big and small from state rules – if and when enacted – in exchange for voluntary access to testing data.

> Chris Lehane, Pfizer's vice president of global affairs, said in an interview, "China is engaged in remarkable progress in drug development by testing through Uyghur volunteers in the Xinjiang province. The US is ceding our strategic advantage by not using untapped resources sitting idle in detention facilities around the country."

> George C. Zoley, Executive Chairman of GEO Group, said, "Our new Karnes ICE Processing Center has played an important role in helping ICE meeting the diverse policy priorities of four Presidential Administrations. We stand ready to continue to help the federal government, Pfizer, and other privately-held companies achieve their unmet needs through human trials in our new 1,328-bed Texas facility."

I don't think the point of the question is "do you even know wha fibonacci sequence is?". If candidate didn't know what exactly it is, I have no problem with that. If I explained to him simply the nature of the sequence and he couldn't code it, I wouldn't expect him to be a worthy addition to the team. Recursion is everywhere, SQL, UI, refactoring, data processing, etc.

But I agree you can hire a shitty programmer, because his soft skills are amazing. I worked with people that wouldn't contribute much to the code, but created a culture and improved processes in the company. But you should be aware that you are not hiring for a coding position then.

I'll describe situation from investors view.

Exists just two approaches to hire director. Each have drawbacks.

1. Grow organically from lowest position (Henry Ford claimed, he use this approach in FMC). Drawbacks - it is slow and such director will be definitely conservative, because he grown in company environment and probably will not want to change anything. Good things are - such way is good check of professional quality, and such director could be more loyal for company.

2. Hire director from outside, farther - better. Drawbacks - high risks to hire person without need knowledge/skills and definitely collective will see him stranger. Good things such person probably will be more open for innovations and will not much depend on company traditions.

Each investor himself decide, what he think more important for company - loyalty or innovation. I usually think, innovation is highest priority, but to be honest, life is complicated, and possible case in which I'll chose more conservative way.

And sure, human behavior is about will, for example, Lee Iacocca grown in FMC from mechanic, but once become president of other company.
CD-ROMs were available long before the mid-90s and even 8086-class machines could be equipped with them. They were just very expensive, and there wasn't a consumer market for them until the "multimedia" craze hit which required a 386 or 486 with at least 4 MiB of RAM (8 or more was better). But public libraries, for instance, had InfoTrac machines as early as the late 80s, which were XT- or AT-class machines that pulled magazine data off a CD-ROM catalog.
