Seems that would be easy to beat: the witness can just visualize a different person committing the crime.

The problem is that Apple does the same kind of thing (arbitrary app store review by bots), so you're saying not to do any mobile apps.

No, this isn't because the C++ ABI is fragile, but because the standard library wasn't part of its scope. It only covers the layout of objects and how parameters are passed to function calls, and does not cover the implementation

"The situation on the C++ side isn't too different: The ABI is compiler defined. This is why you can not mix libraries generated with MSVC and GCC." There is a multi-vendor C++ ABI, honored by clang, GCC, Intel's proprie

Not sure what difference this makes. The GPL is binding at the point where someone ships a release. They aren't obligated to ship the details of every internal partial version, which might even include things that can't be legally

Minified JavaScript is OK if recipients can also receive the original JavaScript, just like it's ok to distribute executables if recipients can get the source code (this is for GPLed works).

Yes, distributing modifications to GPLed code only in obfuscated form is a clear GPL violation. Distributing ugly and unmaintainable code because that's the only code you have is allowed (and sometimes that happens because the code wor

The difficulty with the argument that only publishing "final" versions is a GPL violation is that the FSF itself used to restrict access to development versions of their code and only provide final releases, back in the mid 1990s.

It's my geocaching name, and it's because my wife's geocaching name was often abbreviated to "2b".

I think Mastodon or a subset of it can evolve into what you want. We'll start seeing specialized servers that vet their members. As Elon drives people away, you'll see more technical people, more serious medical people and the lik

It will work out. There's been an initial bad reaction to a few things, like content warnings, but I think most of the new people will adjust. There will be some conflicts, but some features of Mastodon will prevent some of the worst p

That seems an inferior approach to just using encryption.

I've been thinking of a possible resolution to this. For Copilot and similar systems: keep the training data, and in addition to the text generation, add a search function. Find generated sequences that Copilot puts out, and send point

Apparently this was a private repo, not a public one, but the attacker gained access.

Yes, that's a big problem at my employer. So many functions have been contracted out that I have to deal with official functions via sites belonging to at least 15 outside companies, many for sensitive HR-related functions, expense rep

There are peculiar rules for patent claims. For example, each claim must be one sentence, which means ugly run-on sentences are common.

Except that Musk himself clearly thinks this is a concern; his letter to advertisers was one of his first actions after taking over.

The difficulty is that some of these objectives conflict with each other. Backing off on moderation is likely to drive advertisers away; bringing back banned people could in some cases cause legal problems in countries where publishing, say

We have a demonstration that it is possible just today, as the people who got an alert also got an estimate of the strength. The broadcast estimates were slightly low: 4.8 for a 5.1. But in the neighborhood.

My home office in Campbell (just south of SJ) is on the second floor so I got more of a shake than my wife downstairs got, though her MyShake app gave her a few seconds warning. For those not in earthquake country, this was a moderate quake

The Twitter competitor that emerges after Elon turns Twitter into a flaming wreck will probably do that.

The article is specifically about plastic waste. A considerably higher proportion of glass, metal, and paper is successfully recycled, not all of it, but value is extracted and reused.

If prices go up, it is inflation, whether it is caused by cartel pricing or by the traditional "too much money chasing too few goods". I'm suggesting, and there seems to be good evidence for this, that when economies were fir

Monopoly power is the biggest driver of inflation right now. The price spike after the Covid restrictions ended was expected, but it wasn't expected to persist. But businesses used inflation as an excuse to jack up prices more than cos

It seems that Copilot could address this issue by searching for matches in its source repositories for the strings it generates, with appropriate criteria, and give the user a link describing the origin of the code, who wrote it, and what t
