That is because the Cider team did an amazing job of managing it, and spent tons of time going bug report by bug report to find and fix the blockers stopping people from preferring Cider-V over Cider, instead of the typical Google deprecati

I was responsible for getting the investment and (and pushing on turndowns) in getting Google to one IDE, and also worked at IBM for a few years. I also spent lots of time talking with my counterparts in other places. So I know what others

I love how it says "Standalone PoC. Python 3.10+ stdlib only (os, socket, zlib). Targets /usr/bin/su by default; pass another setuid binary as argv[1]." Except you can't pass another setuid binary as argv[1] b

This fails the very basic test of "who actually wants your product to succeed other than you". It's like when Microsoft was like "we want the Xbox to be the center of a connected home entertainment experience" (it w

Lawyer here: So first, while this entire comments section seems to treat privilege as if their is a single universal corpus of law around it, their isn't. Federal and and state courts do different things here. Each state does different

Probably don't do this if you have a magnesium-aluminum alloy laptop. Depending on exactly how much magnesium is in the alloy, metal shavings can be highly flammable and otherwise hazardous. I think it's fine to mess with stuff li

I'm not trying to misrepresent anything, just going by what the documents say. I don't know what happened but the last paragraph of the complaint says he approached another firm, became aggressive, and pulled out a firearm. There

"That alone is a good sign that these judges don't really think this is a great argument." No, this is a totally normal thing, at least for the 9th circuit (and a few others). They do not publish all rulings, and they don&#x2

Did you read the case at all? It is a totally reasonable discussion of what assent entails, is clear that assent only exists when people actually read the notice, and placed the burden on the companies, etc. One can disagree with the law

In this case, both users admit they actually read the notice, one after it was sent to spam, and the other it was delivered properly.

Almost always, as long as the term change is not material. At least in the US. Material changes require mutual assent. This case was about whether mutual assent existed. The court said "yes". So no contracts were changed by one

Lawyer here. Its not. This article is highly confused. The case was about whether an AI could be considered an author for copyright purposes. Mainly as a way of arguing for robot rights, not copyright. The person listed the AI as the s

They applied for change of venue 3 times, lost all 3 times, and appealed it to the north dakota supreme court, and lost there too. Overall, they could not make the showing necessary. I read the motions and responses, and was not particularl

Lawyer here - this is legally fantasy, but socially not? Anybody with significant contracts with the DOD is not going to use anthropic because they want to keep getting contracts with the DOD.

Oh it's worse bullshit. Modern paint shops don't emit meaningful VOCs. Even in Texas, for example. Nobody's even making non voc compliant auto paint anymore because there is no market for it. I can't speak to permittin

by DannyBee 7mo ago
This place you speak of doesn't exist. First, manufacturers don't really make non voc compliant auto paints. The market is too small. They may make 550 and 275 variants but most don't. Second, even like Texas has voc regula

They are wrong about paint shops.or at least the reason. They are all using voc compliant paints these days, even outside California. I have no idea how hard permitting is mind you, but the claimed thing here is that they can't be voc

No it wasn't, it was a motion to set aside the verdict, made before the trial judge. The appeal will go to the 11th circuit.

They claim have a pretrial agreement to reduce it to 3x compensatory damages (which would make the total judgemnet 160 million instead of 243 million). Appealing is expensive because they have to post a bond with 100% collateral, and you pa

I agree. I will say the slowness i could kind of understand - just poor network protocol optimization/etc on their part, etc. Not that i excused it, but i at least could understand how you get there - you are always on a fast network

The number of people in this thread confusing fairness with consistency, and who seem to think llms achieve the former when they achieve the latter seems a bit high. However the fact that some people believe justice systems should actually

by DannyBee 8mo ago
“Fair” is a complex moral question that llms are not qualified to answer, since they have no morals or empathy, and aren’t answering here. Instead they are being “consistent” and the humans are not. Consistency has no moral component and l

by DannyBee 8mo ago
This view seems to miss the goal of the justice system in the first place. The goals are societal. Any consistency is a means and not an end. (IE being consistent at all is simply one thing that helps achieve some of the societal goals.

As one of those authors (3 books in this case) I'll just point out: Most authors don't own any interesting rights to their books because they are works for hire. Maybe I would have gotten something, maybe not. Depends on the contr
