I think there are a bunch of problems in the timeline, not least the ongoing mismatch between statements and filings, and the lack of anything in 2022. It does look like governance very much played second fiddle, and the unsurprising outcom

I have to say it makes sense to me that the binaries would be built from the source tarballs rather than git, seems a bit odd that you'd have separate pipelines and binaries that are produced from a (slightly) different source.

I think if you have a set that you want the latest value from, in all engines you can do something explicit like: > SELECT manifest, versionId, checkinTime FROM version ORDER BY checkinTime DESC LIMIT 1 The problem with putting aggregati

ODT was designed to be standardised: while the predecessor format was very similar too, it relies very heavily on XHTML, SVG, and CSS, to name but three (there's a lot more). Without being able to call out to existing standards, the OD

Or DNA, for that matter, why would they come close to having DNA let alone sharing any %age with terrestrial species?

BBC probably wouldn't broadcast Blue Jam today, but only because it would get such limited audience. It's niche and of its time. Similar shows today would include the Skewer, and to be honest I would rank that as more legally dang

That sounds obviously transformative and on any non-trivial scale I can't see why copyright would be avoided.

The jewelry looked hand-made to me; it's chunky for what it is and quite rustic. Suggests the person is in/around some kind of craft art scene in general, but not necessarily an artist or professionally involved. Vaguely amazing t

Legal advice is an exception. In many jurisdictions, it's a regulated field (like health) and providing legal advice without holding the requisite license is illegal. Offering your own opinion on the law is fine, but IMHO answering som

Consumers recognizing ChatGPT might just end up like vacuum cleaners; at least in the UK, people will often just call it a "hoover" but the likelihood of it being a Hoover is low. It is difficult to see where the moat might exist

You only lose rights with respect to trademarks. Copyrights do not need to be consistently enforced in order to be enforceable (although if you're not consistent you'll likely have a tough time arguing significant damages)

This is kind of addressed in the article. The specific difference between using stoic techniques/mindsets to do something, versus actually adhering to stoic philosophy. I think the "strawman" hits the nail on the head in that

I believe it is true, and there was a good thread on twitter about Kelly optimal bets. It seems clear that SBF, and maybe therefore Alameda, didn't really understand the right hand side of the Kelly optimum.

But I thought the whole complaint about SBF was the enormous lengths he was going to in order to increase regulation, and effectively pull up the drawbridge behind him? I think the whole point about campaign financing is well made, but th

If the source of the flue gas is ~renewable (e.g. wood) and the energy generated is used usefully, this isn't a bad idea for carbon capture. It's much easier to capture the carbon technologically like this, and rely on broader cap
