Yikes, that seems pretty horrendous law. In the the UK the tax exempt status comes from the fact you're locking away the income for, say, decades; and you'll be liable to normal income tax at the point of withdrawal. It's des

lol, that's a brave approach. Although with my pedant hat on: that's extrapolation, not interpolation. That's because 128 is outside of the existing range.

The traditional reason was probably distributed caching, to reduce the load on authorative servers. Having an ISP or open resolver near you with cached results alsoo means less latency, when you first look up a domain.

Thanks for this thoughtout reply. Automapping can also be used for renaming, and simple type conversions. But yes, structural typing and other interesting typesystems can make this first class. I didn't realise serious work had been pu

I've used Automapper a few times, in Enterprise software which takes separate layers to a dogmatic extreme. Automapper always felt like a code smell: if the layers are so trivially mappable, should they really be different layers? Alte

Even leaving aside the word <on>, it's problematic that, syntactically, <true> and <foobar> look the same but are treated differently.

Can't believe you've been downvoted. HN isn't homogonous, but too often has apologists for immoral and illegal behaviour, provided it's done by a technology company.

There's no point. RAIL are well aware their licenses are proprietary (see their FAQ), and they are happy with that.

I am not an expert, but I'd just use the the normal LGPL/GPL/AGPL licenses for the models.

No, the GNU licences place copyleft obligations on distribution/conveyance. But they allow you to run the programs for any purpose, without field of endeavour restrictions, or moral police. You don't even need to accept a licence

Eh, companies and organisations regularly rebrand, even if it doesn't always require a name change.

Stable Diffusion's code and model weights can be downloaded, but it's proprietary, not Open Source.

They sometimes provide code, and less often pre-computed models. But we're not talking about their crown jewels, so the name OpenAI is completely misleading.

Ah, that's cool. Thanks for the correction. I was misremembering the Unladen Swallow retrospective[1]. It's fair to say they used a lot fo their available time contributing to LLVM, but it sounds like that was feature work, not bu

Quite. Unladen Swallow was unfortunately a failure, in part because LLVM at the time was quite buggy, and in part because LLVM wasn't (isn't?) magic enough to speed up a dynamic language. The blog post here mentions they do their

Depends on your use case, but for me, absolutely not. The btrfs manual says RAID5 “should not be used in production, only for evaluation or testing. The power failure safety for metadata with RAID56 is not 100%.”

Reading that thead, https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/103upr6/co... says the user could have been banned for racism. We're not talking subtle stuff, either.

No, because AIUI, header only libraries don't really have an ABI. They get compiled into the application, as opposed to building a separate library that you linked against.

Yeah, you're right. That's undefined behaviour, which is a compiler free for all in terms of unwanted effects. I think this is unique to CLib, not from GLib.
