That's what's not clear to me. About the only way this works is if we create the "Great US firewall", or if china decides to also put in export controls around usage of their models (unlikely).

Not just allowed to do, encouraged to do as part of legitimate development.

The Linux kernel is also in the free bsd project. I'm allowed to copy as little or as much of the kernel as I like into my personal project thanks to the GPL. Being able to attribute the source of a line of code doesn't help you

Ok, and how is that determined? How does anthropic know my "kernel" project isn't a personal toy and not the Linux kernel? How does anthropic determine I'm a legitimate kernel hacker? What proof do I give them and how

I missed this the last time I looked. I'm guessing it doesn't get pulled as much for steel because of recycling?

Nope. This is a misconception. Batteries don't have rare-earth materials in them. Lithium, nickel, and iron are very plentiful in the US. The "rarest" of materials that might be mined is Cobalt. That, however isn't be

There is a happy medium. Encrypt the user directory/s and leave the rest of the disk unencrypted. There is still a risk that the user loses valuable data due to corruption, but there is much less of a risk of the entire system being

I think the difference in languages that allows for faster performance is that Rust does a good job of surfacing expensive operations and it makes defensive programming less of a requirement.

He may have known, he may not have known. I think he likely knew much earlier than he reported. All that said, he was very online and very much not an online Nazi. To me that matters a lot more than a bad tattoo. There'd simply be a l

For chemo it's often "these chemicals kills cancer cells faster than they kill regular cells".

The other part that is simply missing is that cancer, very unfortunately, evolves and mutates. That's how you go from a cancer that responds to treatment to one that is treatment resistant. Like you said, for a lot of common cancers w

Yeah, it's WAY more specific. We got a genetic breakdown, multiple pamphlets on the drugs being used, what they are targeting, and why they work (along with the risks). Honestly, I think people probably get false impressions because c

Could be wrong, but AFAIK the CATL Sodium batteries haven't yet hit LFP pricing. You are unlikely to see a vehicle with sodium batteries until after that happens, and it needs to be significantly less than LFPs as you Na batteries have

It'll depend on the mailman. I'm fairly confident mine would ultimately deliver it to me.

There's an old report (like from the 1990s) on this that put the DV rates at 40%. That's probably high but it's the source for a lot of the "cops beat their wives" claims. A fundamental problem with cops is the thi

Honestly, I think it's just because it's a crime to open someone else's mail. For whatever reason that sort of policy isn't extended to encrypted data in the cloud. It was a law written in the 90s, it should be updated

It's a crime to open someone else's mail and generally speaking the post office does a pretty good job of reliable delivery. Even if an address is a bit wrong/corrupted, it can likely be delivered just from the name and the

I'm actually out of date. The last time I searched (Dec last year) it was the case that it was quite hard to find any EV brand that wasn't Tesla. This appears to have changed as now I can find most EV brands in local stock.

by cogman10 5mo ago
You are right, looks like my local chevy dealers also have EVs on their lots. In fact, now that I'm searching this time it looks like most of the other dealers have EVs. This wasn't the case when I searched around Dec last year.
563.
by cogman10 5mo ago
A major problem is that dealers hate carrying and selling EVs. If you want to get these vehicles you either have to special order them or you have to buy used. I think a big portion of why Tesla is so prominent is because it's relativ

by cogman10 5mo ago
The original WSL proves that you actually don't need to be perfect or to have the entire ABI to be pretty useful. It's true that missing ABIs will cause random crashes and problems. However, a lot of apps can run with a minimal s

Would it surprise you to learn that Rust does the same thing that Java does? The main difference is that rust drives the VM all the way to the point of generating machine code while java generates the machine code at runtime. Rust does a tr

> even the best ones add overhead Nope. Quite the opposite. You can precompile Java to a static runtime using the likes of Graal or even android. That actually makes these applications slower, not faster. Part of this comes down to th

Is there any reason why macOS doesn't try a WSL1 style approach? I get why that didn't fully work out for windows, but it seems like macOS being another *nix would make a lot of what was hard for windows, easy for mac. It seems
