It has to do with the way the federal government granted land to the railroads to incentivize them to lay track. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkerboarding_(land)

At minimum the sanctions should include a fine sufficient to cover the costs of everyone who had to deal with this: the court, opposing attorneys. Maybe punitive damages too. But let the guy keep his law license (unless there's a secon

Moderate inflation is actually helpful. It improves the situation of debtors, and encourages people to use their money rather than hoard it. It's bad if it gets too high, of course. But a lot of boomers are very comfortable because the

Yes, but many email marketers know this trick and they just strip out the comment or tag, or else make you give them an address that doesn't have it.

It doesn't cost that much compared to their budget, so it's easier to pay for ads than get into a fight with Google lawyers.

It seems much more likely that some typosquatter managed to compromise the security of government sites by uploading malware, and Uncle Sam wants to catch the culprit.

The companies that celebrated the increased demand but planned ahead did not fall for the forever fallacy. They took advantage of the increased demand but didn't overhire to nearly the same extent. Apple did a much better job at this t

No idea. It's been a long time since I was in a research-oriented group and published frequently and I didn't track my time in the detail that would be needed to answer this.

There are so many factors that it's difficult to sort them out. Back when I attended conferences (have only been to one since Covid) I choose to attend talks that I'm interested in and skip those that are less interesting. Back wh

You might find this article from Mike Masnick of TechDirt, one of the contributors to the game, interesting: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/05/11/moderator-mayhem-a-mobil... He's been writing about the di

Mike Masnick at TechDirt has written a lot about how tough it is to get content moderation right, and he and others have put together a game to illustrate (kind of also shows how bad it is for the grunts who have to do this stuff). Go direc

It is not necessarily in the interest of the shareholders if the compensation of top executives is so extreme as to starve a company of resources; this is especially the case because executives often only stay with a company a few years and

Good to hear. Let's reserve "open source" for cases like that.

There's a lot of room between 200k and 200M, and given that the company is laying people off and cutting costs, the CEO should share in that sacrifice.

But none of the "open source" AI models are open source in the classic sense. They are free but they aren't the source code; they are closer to a freely distributable compiled binary where the compiler and the original input

As Simon Willison has pointed out, the reason that this approach doesn't work is because if the prompt is augmented by data obtained from a search engine, others can do prompt injection by adding commands to the LLM that the search is

I didn't ask about what the policy document says, but about what is actually transferred by the chip itself, independently of the OS. Since it's not encrypted this can be determined.

The author claims that none of the above information is actually sent, other than the IP address which is unavoidable to download a static file. I don't know who is right because I haven't seen the actual intercepted HTTP traffic.

Yes, for a taxpayer who has a salary, a bank account and a brokerage account, and no other income than salary, interest, and investments, the IRS already has every number needed to compute the tax bill. With the last round of tax changes, v

It comes out of the grant that also pays salaries, so excessive paper costs might mean that a research group can't afford to pay as many postdocs and grad students.

Others might pursue a smaller model that works as well as a larger model. If that can be done, whoever does it can very effectively compete on price/performance. It seems that to assume otherwise (the only way to improve is to get bigg

Juries, not judges, declare people guilty in the US. Prosecutors don't declare people guilty either; what you're talking about is people taking a plea bargain and pleading guilty. Bail reform can help take the pressure off of peop

Looks like the author had very good reason to think that this was a targeted killing, as in, if the suspect did it it was a targeted killing. Jumping to the conclusion that some homeless guy or street thug did it, without any evidence, is a
