I don't know about the US but in French "droits d'auteur", moral rights are treated differently from exploitation rights. In particular, they cannot be waived, they cannot be sold, and there is no "work-for-hire&quo

If you want a point, BSD is probably a better example. Linux is protected by copyright, that's what makes copyleft licenses like GPL possible. BSD is also protected by copyright, but it matters less for permissive licenses. It still pr

These are just terms of service, not copyright. It means that assuming training AI models is fair use (if it wasn't AI companies including xAI would be in trouble), they can't really stop you. But now, essentially, they are tellin

Does the "you are an expert" kind of prompt really work? Role playing may help if you want to direct the focus of the LLM in a particular way (as explained in the article), for example by focusing on security, performance, style,

I find that modern OCR, audio transcription, etc... are beginning to have the opposite problem: they are too smart. It means that they make a lot fewer mistakes, but when they do, it can be subtle. For example, if the text is "the bat

I don't really have a say since I don't buy nor sell software. As a technical guy, I may have an influence, but usually, finance decides and not always the way I'd like. That being said, I highly value having access to the so

Choose your license well. If you are using a permissive licence (MIT, Apache, BSD, etc...) you are begging for it. If that's what you want (and it may be what you want), go for it, but don't expect it to pay the bills. If you are

That's the idea, they are trying to have your boss force you to look at such software.

Well, machine code is scary. But like with many scary things, once you overcome your fears and get familiar with the thing, you realize that it is not that bad.

There may be a nutritional reason, but my very personal and subjective reason is that peanuts don't taste that good compared to the other nuts. And I don't think I am the only one. Generally, when I put a bowl of cashews and a bow

What I understand the "dark" in "dark ages" mean is that not much came out of it, in particular in terms of historical records, not that life during that time was particularly terrible. It is dark in the "hard to se

Looked at french words, most have a rating of 2 (mostly profane) even for words that are not profane at all (ex: envoyer => send), words that have a profane second meaning, but their non-profane meaning is also in common use (ex: morue =

A LLM can't self-reflect. It doesn't know what happens in its own circuits. If you ask it, it will either tell you what it knows (from the articles about LLMs it has ingested), and if it doesn't, it will hallucinate something

Please read the article before commenting, because I find the proposed solution a bit worrisome. Of course we should secure IoT, but the article is about one very particular kind of security: roots of trust. The idea is that devices shouldn

I agree, but would be even worse as a TikTok video. Shorts are absolutely terrible as product reviews. The point of a product review is to explore different aspects and use cases, otherwise it is an ad. It doesn't mean that long videos

I seems that there are different meanings to "valued". Here how the article defines it: > Being valued, on the other hand, means that you are brought into more conversations, not just to execute, but to help shape the direction

People absolutely talk about the permanent consequences that can arise from this. But the problem with drug talk is that it is often no middle ground. On the one hand, authorities are going to tell you that any psychoactive substance strong

And when you factor in FPGAs, you can get down to the microsecond or less. Low latency is possible, it is just that priorities are often elsewhere. We like being able to plug everything anywhere. And I admit it is damn cool being able to co

Yes, back in the days, I/O was often really low latency because memory and therefore buffers were expensive and gate count was limited, it meant more direct connections, which meant low latency. The Atari 2600 for instance was known fo

Here the victims of "wind theft" by wind farms are other wind farms. The point of this article is that by not accounting for the problem, the efficiency of wind power around the world may decrease and also discourage investors.

I like the Mistral models. Not the smartest but I find them to have good conversation while being small, fast and efficient. And the part I like the most is there is almost no censorship, at least not for the models I tried. For me, having

Yes, for some reason the term "monopsony" is little known, so much that the autocorrect tried to turn it into "monopoly". Maybe for not having a famous board game named after it. But here it looks even worse as workers h

SATGUS is a 12U CubeSat, I don't know the mass, but it seems that 20kg is a reasonable assumption. As with all CubeSats, they didn't use a rocket just for it, it is an auxiliary payload to a big satellite mission. According to Wik

Petahertz? It makes me raise so many questions. 1 PHz corresponds to a wavelength of 300nm, UV light. How does it make sense? It can't be the transistors we are used to, that's all quantum weirdness at this point. How do you even

And I think there is a good reason for that. When a company steals billions from customers, the entire company is responsible, and the entire company profits from the crime. So why single out a few executives? Everyone shall be punished: th

The costs of storing more and more plastics will only increase, storage is cheap at first, and that's why they did that, and when it starts getting expensive, they abandon ship. It is either classic fraud or incompetence. These plastic
