I can't speak to the political or legal aspects, but technically, Ledger firmware updates are closed‑source binaries delivered from Ledger's servers. That centralization makes it possible for a state actor—or anyone with access to

It does the same things a typical CRUD backend does (REST/realtime API, authentication, authorization, validation, etc.). For example, you could use it when building a simple todo mobile app that syncs your data in the cloud. The catch

China has been largely capitalist since the late 1980s. Economically, it's similar to many Western countries—in fact, its government and welfare spending is lower than the Western average. Where it differs dramatically is in its politi

For those unfamiliar: this is a backend server you can configure via a GUI, so you can get a working backend with little or no code. It’s great for quick prototypes, MVPs, and simple apps. The concept was popularized by Firebase.

That's incorrect. TPUs can support many ML workloads, they're not exclusive to LLMs.

"Application-specific" doesn't necessarily mean unprogrammable. Bitcoin miners aren't programmable because they don't need to be. TPUs are ASICs for ML and need to be programmable so they can run different models. I

I didn't suggest that. I was only addressing the question of whether "they behave better or worse than others, on average," and the evidence clearly leans toward "worse."

For the same reason a 35-year lease on a house is cheaper than buying it outright. If you know you won't own it forever, you won't pay as much.

> Remember, Termination is one of the only copyright policies that solely benefits creative workers. To play devil's advocate, this provision probably lowers how much media companies are willing to pay when acquiring copyrights.

Interesting. The article certainly gave that impression. It's strange that the process isn't automatic when the main requirement is simply submitting a notice.

Right. Still a far cry from "anyone can bypass CloudFlare" though.

Like? Aside from scanning DNS records (assuming the protected IP is in there somewhere) or scanning the entire IPv4 (assuming the server responds to non CloudFlare requests), I can't think of any. And both methods are simple to protec

This seems a bit self-contradictory: you say LLMs mislead people and can't reason, then fault them for being good at helping people solve puzzles or win trivia games. You can't have it both ways.

Personally, I find myself using LLMs more than Google now, even for non-development tasks. I think this shift is going to become the new normal (if it isn't already).

Let's say you wouldn't have been able to reduce the fine to $1,500, could you just have closed the company to avoid paying the fine?

Same here (MacBook Air). I assume the developer uses a large screen.

I read the article and watched the video. We can't tell whether the pedestrian suddenly stepped into the street or if things would've gone differently had she been fully focused. I prefer to reserve judgment.

One doesn't exclude the other. The fact that she was distracted doesn't necessarily mean the accident happened because she was distracted.

by olalonde 1y ago
We don't know the full circumstances of the accident. She may have been distracted, but it's also possible the pedestrian crossed unexpectedly right in front of the car. Hopefully the facts come out and justice is served fairly.

Maybe it's the exception rather than the norm, but in Canada, municipal, provincial, and federal parties are generally separate. Montreal, for example, is currently led by Projet Montréal, which has no formal ties to any provincial par
