Now can we find an example where this symbol was actually used in practice?

If I translate Harry Potter to another language and change all the names, the resulting book clearly expresses the same ideas as the original.

I'm pretty sure the plot is copyrightable, otherwise you could just translate Harry Potter to a different language and change the names of the characters.

by cubefox 8mo ago
That's apparently a different story with different plot, so that's not comparable.

It's not clear at all.

> Claude was asked to implement a public API, not an entire codebase. Allegedly. There have been several people who doubted this story. So how to find out who is right? Well, just let Claude compare the sources. Coincidentally, Claude Op

That's naive. Copyright doesn't just apply to software. There already have been countless lawsuits about copying music long before the term "open source" was invented. No, changing the lyrics a bit doesn't circumven

It's a ligature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing) A specialized font glyph but not a special Unicode character.

In the limit, even a CPU could be called an ASIC because certain algorithmic operations (ALU etc) are implemented in hardware. CPU/ASIC are really poles of a gradient, with a CPU implementing very little in hardware and most in softwar

Cerebras just uses SRAM instead of DRAM. An ASIC would instead hardwire the neural network.

That would be something like an FPGA. Which have been very unpopular so far due to high cost. And they also only support a relatively small number of weights.

TPUs are not ASICs if they can execute arbitrary models.

Unrelated, but I have never before seen that "ij" ligature in the title.

ASICs only work for very small and heavily quantized models. Moreover, they are fixed function hardware, so whenever you have a new model, you have to throw the current chips away and design and buy new ones. That's like buying a new C

According to its website, Oracle has 162,000 employees. Cutting 30k people would be 18.5% of its workforce. That's huge.

No, it's a shortage due to high demand from AI data centers.

Another popular one is ending headlines with a remark/alternative in parentheses. Especially "(why this matters)". More generally, it's interesting that many different LLMs have differences in their favorite tropes but c

It's probably not long till frontier AI companies automate AI research. Then we get recursive self-improvement and eventually superintelligence. The singularity is near. Only a few years perhaps.

Public funding means essentially the same as state funding, just the connotation is more positive.

> The BBC is not state funded, it's a public broadcaster primarily funded by the general public, via the (admittedly outdated) TV licence fee system. If the fee is mandatory, it works similar to a tax, in which case it would be more

I'm not sure which would be worse.

I thought the BBC was state funded and didn't have to rely on undisclosed sponsorships.

It's very hard to get followers on Twitter. Only a small minority of all users gets most of the attention. In the beginning, MySpace and Facebook were different, because they concentrated on real-life friends, but the trend is going in

The researchgate link has for me a deceptive ad at the bottom: it has a PDF logo and says "download now", suggesting that this will download the paper. It then links to a download page which in the fine print says it will actually
