The way this used to be handled is to sell new versions.

Oh, interesting. That does make sense.

Sounds a bit like imitone https://imitone.com/ (I have no affiliation) FYI, Imitone has a patent, I don't know what it covers or claims though.

I don't know anything about it, but I find this interesting, perhaps slightly surprising. It doesn't suprise me that it would fade, but, that being a presumably known problem, do the color checkers not have a good cover/case

Do Zuck or Altman have charisma? (Jobs I'll give you.)

Neither Mythos nor Gemini are open-weight models (right?) so I'm not sure what model(s) this is actually referring to.

Yes. From the release notes: 2002-06-17 (2.5.0), "Parse (but do not implement) foreign keys." At one point there was also a tool which would generate trigger rules to enforce foreign key constraints. (2008 Oct 15 (3.6.4), Added th

Armadillo Aerospace was Carmack's own rocket company. And tbh I'm not sure it was ever a plausible contender for commercial success, more like Carmack wanted to play with rockets. But that might be unfair; I would happily accept a

Surely satellite collision avoidance is not based on visual checks? I would assume it's a combination of globally shared known trajectories plus radar tracking stations.

They store energy but there's a limit to how quickly you can get that energy out, hence a limit to power. And I suppose you can kinda talk about them "storing power" in the sense that power is what you might be interested in

What makes it "production grade"? How are you defining that?

Taxis (and Uber etc) also take up space on the road when they only have their driver and no fare paying passenger on board, so I don't see that a Waymo is any worse than that. Both human-driven and robo-driven taxis are financially inc

In type system theory I think what you're looking for is "effect systems". You make the type system statically encode categories of side-effects, so you can tell from the type of a function whether it is pure computation, or

You might be referring to a different period, but I'll note that the anti-war protests in early 2003 (immediately before the invasion of Iraq) were quite literally record breaking. https://web.archive.org/web/20040

For one of my projects my server needs a private key, and it reads this from a file descriptor on startup and then closes the fd. The fd is set up by the systemd unit, which is also configured to restrict filesystem access for the server. S

I don't doubt you're correct about the incentives, but one point seems amiss... > If there's any, even the slightest, chance that buying from a business might one day reflect badly on the civil servant in the procurement o

Absolutely. I think some of these people need to be reminded of the Bill Gates' quote about lines of code: “Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.”

The graph I see in the article displays a single data point per year. You're not going to see seasonal variation in a graph with that resolution. Is there another graph that I missed?

Oh, ok. I misunderstood - I think we agree.

It's not a false choice - "Trust" and "don't trust" are both perfectly viable options. The editor works fine in restricted mode, you just won't have all your extensions enabled.

Is crawling really solved? Any naive crawler is going to run into the problem that servers can give different responses to different clients which means you can show the crawler something different to what you show real users. That turns cr
