The criticism the parent identified has almost nothing to do with these studies. It was that there is an equilibrium point where enforcement is counterproductive, but it did not identify anything about where that is or how that point relate

>AFAIK, the increased spending at the IRS did not lead to concomitant offsetting recoveries. This is a predictable outcome, the amount of enforcement activity has been pretty finely tuned for decades to optimize ROI. Most of the recoveri

Incredibly helpful to have buffer days if you can manage it. A very short rent-back agreement for a few days smooths out a lot.

Less so than it once was, but more so than other languages/ecosystems. To be fair though, I'd argue the environment Javascript lives in also changes faster than any other.

Companies don't, as a rule, do this in software either. They make projects open source or contribute to open source projects because it's good for them . This is just as true in other industries. This is how every industry standa

Everyone agrees the government does too much of some stuff and not enough of other stuff. No one agrees on what belongs in which category.

I sympathize with the plight, as I have also occasionally tried to fight this fight. However, to quibble with your last analysis, you're almost certainly entering an agreement with the EU registered legal entity of a multinational comp

I would classify all of those as "non-traditional" learning techniques, unless you actually mean using a textbook while taking a class with a human teacher. Well written textbooks are consumable on their own for some people, but m

Keys can require a pin (or maybe a password depending on implementation). But in general I haven't felt these are secure enough for the reason you say. While my practical threat model today would make passkeys seem great, the theoretic

The income based repayment plans for federal student loans are not that different (but without most of the sketchy practices). The fact that those are an option for accredited schools means I think it would be hard to make it work in a prog

None of these data sets are based on "the Internet". They are a specific subset of the internet, and the training, reinforcements, and guardrails are in no way neutral (because that's not a thing).

Except that the author then goes on to say how much they would prefer the derivative works to be open source, so it seems like they do want it but have been convinced they shouldn't. AGPL and an offer that other licenses would be avail

The author spells out that they absolutely don't want it closed source. They do want the common requirements of copyleft licences, so it seems that the solution is one of those. The author also thinks the people they're upse

This is generally viewed as okay for game consoles because they are sold at cost or at loss for a large portion of their lifetime. This is very much not true of any Apple hardware.

If they're content with incremental changes to CUDA then it doesn't cost much to keep updated compatibility and do it as quickly as any users actually adopt changes.

I think that's what they were saying (and what I would agree with). The Go std lib is very complete for important things, especially in the context of networked services. So the default is that you don't have to pull in many libra

And if they want it outside of US control, they can't involve either ASML or TSMC (or convince both companies that they can live under US sanctions).

Intel, considering their new partnership with an also-ran Taiwanese contract fab company, has a plausible play for competing with TSMC for leading edge manufacturing in the next few years. Beyond all the existing scaling up started based on

From a lay observer point of view of the semiconductor industry of the last two decades, it seems entirely implausible they could do that quickly without just buying a company that was already working on it. And then, unless that company wa
