I think that even summaries are not fair use when they get to a certain length. The Cliff Notes company has to license the material that they summarize, why not OpenAI?

This should have faster file access than Docker Desktop. For large projects, disabling SIP may be worth the increase in performance.

IMHO being laid off is stressful, even if you can logically tell yourself it's not yet time to worry (i.e. you have a good amount of savings). I sincerely doubt these employees felt anything like being on vacation. As to a "less d

There's a lot of truth in this comment and a lot that I wholeheartedly agree with. When I spend time on something that turns out to be incorrect, I would prefer it to be because of choice I made instead of some random choice made by an

Did I read this correctly? It sounds like YouTube will continue to host his content, but will now pocket the money they would have paid him. That doesn't seem right to me. If they were to cease hosting his material, that would maych th

IMHO, there's no good substitute for doing the work yourself. There are many strategies for reading source code, one of them may be a better use of time than fussing with an LLM.

There are many unions in the US. My partner is a member of a union and has much better healthcare and, overall, a better benefit package than I do. They work at the state university.

It would be nice to work for a successful company, see that company earn record quarterly profits and then not have to worry about being laid off. Pay is important but, arguably, job security even more so.

Healthcare is pretty reliant on software, that's an area that strikes me as being susceptible to something like this. Banks and their associated (i.e. Equifax) are also in a position where this kind of feedback from developers could ma

I have yet to see an ad this clever! It's 2023 and the ads I'm served are for things I already recently purchased (and don't need to buy again) or similar to something I have recently purchased or a cheap knock-off of somethi

I think the larger point is that if the prison is unable to meet the dietary and medical needs of SBF, when they know his expensive attorneys will loudly complain in court and in public, what is it like for regular people who only have a pu

The parking app is the worst, IMHO. I can see the parking space but I have to figure out which parking app works with this particular lot and then hope I don't get a ticket.

I recently saw an advertisement for a comedy show that would let you bring your smart phone but required that it be stored in a pouch that prevented use. If you really need it, there would be "stations" available where the pouch c

I did a two year technical program, it was called "Information Systems and Data Processing"; this was maybe two or three years before this book was published ('94-'96 maybe?). It wasn't an apprentice program but all

As they mentioned, this is what the AGPL license is for. No one is suggesting that the people at HashiCorp should not be paid for their work. https://fossa.com/blog/open-source-software-licenses-101-agp...

Perhaps this project will spend it's funding on a fork of Gimp that is more similar to the Photoshop UI and closes some of the gap in features.

I'm having trouble finding coverage in this, but I believe the current state is that the warrant can require you to unlock the phone but you don't have to tell them how or provide your password. https://www.forbes.com&#

In my opinion, the comparison to weaponry is pretty loaded and unreasonable. It evokes scenes of mass shootings, secure communication has no similar destructive power. Warrants are still a thing! The government in the US can still get a war

That is a good point. It's also possible that Apple has made some kind of concession but has found a weasel-y way to do it that let's them feel like they can claim no concessions have been made. Maybe the difference is that Apple

My understanding is that there will be a new authority, Ofcom, that will regulate the community of messaging application vendors. One of there powers will be to enforce the scanning of messages for CSAM or terrorism related content and Ofco

An insidious part of this discussion is this idea that these laws do not interfere with encryption. IMHO, it's a dishonest stance to take but when debated, the first thing defenders of this legislation say is that this "does nothi

There's also this "enrolment cliff" the universities have been worried about for a long time. Apparently the pool of students is itself shrinking. https://web.archive.org/web/20230315152647/https:&#x

The marketing around this issue is problematic and it's keeping people from clearly discussing the issues. The authors of the UK bill chose to focus on CSAM _specifically_ so that they could hamstring the debate. That so much of the in

This idea that because a human is sometimes wrong, it's okay for the chatbot to be wrong is one I find to be dangerous and unhelpful. The fact that people are fallible shouldn't encourage us to choose solutions with a high or unpr

Don't be distracted by today's excitement over chatbots. Companies are out there consolidating this data right now through traditional methods. Oracle, for example, has been saying the quiet part out loud. https://www.f

Real solutions are the enemy of random bullshit. A chatbot that we know will misdiagnose is of no use to anyone.
