All the time. The billboards are very often about fertilizer, tractors, and shipping. And if that is the argument, there are plenty of local business billboards in the Bay Area as well.

If you drive through Las Vegas, all the billboards are about casinos. If you drive through farm country, all the billboards are about the local cash crop. Advertisers target the people likely to see the ad and spend money on the topic. Bill

True, but for whom? The cure here isn't perfect, but much better than the disease of paying hundreds of dollars a month for scrapers which will never be beneficial. Worse for the scrapers really isn't anyone's problem but the

The company is developing an application, or a class of applications. Not a new model.

I have no doubt that internal Google friction is one of the reasons they are moving. But the Gebru incident was almost seven years ago now. It is very unlikely to be a proximate cause. I doubt numbering vs names on TPU releases even crosses

They are leaving Google, but Google is an investor in the new company. So a split, but not exactly a divorce. Or something.

Kermit had licensing issues in those days. And many bbs were focused on one specific system so many of the auto translate and nice compatibility features of Kermit weren’t that important. And finally Kermit didn’t have great defaults especi

Bill Catchings (the undergrad who helped Frank da Cruz with the original spec and coding) still blogs. It has been a while since he spoke specifically about kermit, but he has one or two interesting posts about the 40th anniversary of Kermi

I have yet to see anyone at all claim that bad code didn't exist before AI. In fact, the famously viral "WTFs per minute" comic demonstrates that such an insightful joke resonates deeply with coders and code reviewers. https

Maybe. The courts haven't exactly ruled yet. And it is the risk here that the GNU project wants to avoid. Will things probably be OK? Sure. Probably. But GNU is particularly risk averse when it comes to licensing.

Full text is linked below, but it is getting revised pretty regularly. tl;dr: Requirement is that a human must be in the loop; the contributor must have reviewed the change by hand already; and is always accountable; the human must be able

All of that is true, but has nothing to do with the new payment plan apple just released.

"We might, maybe, have some article go viral some day. With unknown revenue implications." is a weak argument for trying to figure out and maintain GDPR compliance, which costs real money right now, today. And you have to be sure

And I gave a reason why that isn't true. There are many, many others.

But we aren’t talking probability. Your claim was that deeper pockets means you are more sophisticated. That simply isn’t true. The inheritance argument is just one example to show why it isn’t. People make large amounts of money all the ti

by compiler-guy 3mo ago
Indeed. But that doesn't invalidate the point that deeper-pockets is not equivalent to a more sophisticated or better investor.

If I inherit a billion dollars tomorrow, I will have zero additional information and be no more sophisticated than I am today. But I will have deeper pockets than any retail investor and will be able to withstand market irrationality longer

Most company's stock would fall pretty hard if all the holders decided to sell at the same time. So although Google, say, technically has a huge float on a percentage basis, because none of the big three holders (Eric Schmidt, Larry Pa

They borrowed the shares and held those borrowed shares briefly, and sold them. So they don't hold them any longer, but they do have a contract where they are required to buy them later. The original owner doesn't hold the shares

Bold of you to assume that the feedback one gets from random internet commenters helps sharpen one's tools. One is far more likely to get useful criticism from a mentor or teacher than random internet folks. No upload required. And the

These letters are simple "If you have evidence related to this lawsuit, you must preserve it" letters. And entirely routine in this kind of action. There are more of them than in most cases, because this is such a big case. But th

Definitely not randomly chosen--Apple would have chosen people it believes may have evidence that relates to the case. It's a legal request to preserve that data. But it doesn't follow at all that Apple is threatening to sue them.

Apple also has server logs that track these former employees downloading confidential docs. It doesn't prove that they shared them over to OpenAI, but Apple has pretty solid proof that the former employees saved them without authorizat
