They are either going to have to submit a ton of DMCA requests to GitHub and get their own repo taken down by GitHub, or they will be at risk of losing their copyright and will take it off GitHub themselves. Forking is a fundamental feature

It is trivial to come up with plausible justifications the user might reject if the reason were made explicit. E.g “The camera will be used to continuously take photographs and upload them to our AI platform for training, analysis, and aest

> The camera will be used to take photographs. That is a terrible reason to request camera access. It is just restating the access request and it should be rejected. Why will photographs be taken? Because it is a camera/photograph

I’ve always wished I could put Apple Watch into a “constant oxygen monitor mode” for sleep. That seems to be the obvious way to assess sleep apnea. Anyone know why that isn’t the method?

You might benefit from watching the film “Born On The Fourth of July”. Telling people to love it or leave it says a lot about who you are.

You have benefited my life immensely, so I will take the time to write the most helpful response I can. *What is the nature of competition in the free market?* The premise that Google’s success constitutes a monopoly that must be dismantled

This is an extremely disappointing post. In the past, I’ve enthusiastically supported and advocated for Kagi. But Kagi advocating for using force to destroy its competitors is completely unacceptable to me and an admission that they do not

Saying it can’t be done is still an actionable guide to policy. If it can’t be done any other way, and it has massive benefit, then policymakers ought to be careful to avoid actions that harm it. For example, tax law changes requiring multi

A plausible lower bound would be useful, but $4B is a joke. That’s less than the annual budget of single major university (Harvard is around ~$5-6B). Gartner says the world spent $4.5T on IT in 2022. To pick some numbers out of thin air, le

The methodology used in the underlying paper is, to put it generously, not even wrong. Way past “assume a spherical cow” territory. It supposes you could simply hire programmers to build OSS from scratch. If you have ever worked on a large

Operator overloading essentially makes code unreadable without deep diving past the interface boundary. In Go, you can generally look at any snippet of code and know precisely what it does.

DMCA is probably irrelevant. This is textbook copyright infringement. $150k statutory damages plus, at the court's discretion, legal costs and fees. And that is just the result of civil action. You could probably find a prosecutor who

If that’s true, crucify them for piracy. Why would DMCA apply here?

Altered title because it was too long, instead using text from the abstract and adding association with MIT. The paper itself: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3656409

See “Public Choice Theory”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_choice Or watch the BBC comedy “Yes, Minister” and “Yes, Prime Minister” to grasp how government (as well as most large companies) actually works.

Why is it better to invent a weird new class of numbers (irrationals) rather than just identify that there is something wrong with how we think about this issue? Put another way, why don’t we reject out-of-hand the notion that sqrt(2) canno

Huang isn’t saying any of those one-simple-trick things. His advice is actually incredibly difficult to put into practice: define your purpose, dedicate your life to it, and prioritize working on it.

I think this is a point worth highlighting much more prominently in your marketing. In my mind, this moved restate from “huh, that’s cool” to “during tomorrow’s standup, I’m going to ask one of my engineers to build a poc.”

A concept that doesn’t relate to an aspect of reality, either directly or abstracted from basic concepts that directly relate, is meaningless and arbitrary. There is no way for intelligence to grasp it, let alone do something with it. To pu
