If you use <input type=time>, the browser uses locale or user regional preferences… even if the app is in an application domain (e.g. medicine, military, science) where 24h is preferred even in 12h-predominant locales. There is no way

I don’t think anyone really knows the answer yet. UK law has much looser standards for copyrightability than US law - UK law accepts the “sweat of the brow” doctrine - mere human effort is enough to create copyright, even if it lacks any si

The license is CC BY-NC-ND - I’m not sure who is going to be able to use it given the NC-ND part… especially given the potential uncertainty over what uses count as commercial and what counts as derivative works. OTOH, given the bulk of thi

An LLM agent could be given a tool for self-finetuning… it could construct a training dataset, use it to build a LORA/etc, and then use the LORA for inference… that’s getting closer to your ideal

What are those flaws? And are they inherent, or something that could be fixed with enhancements/revisions? TCP as originally specified had fundamental design flaws too, but the TCP of today has significant differences from the 1981 TCP

I used to work for a university in Australia, our solution to mononymous students was to put their single name in both first name and surname fields. So if your name was just Mayawati, we'd put you down as Mayawati Mayawati. Some US bu

NetBSD has had getenv_r() for ages, [0] and I believe FreeBSD has very recently copied it. [1] If FreeBSD has it, macOS might eventually adopt it too. People tried already to get it into both glibc and POSIX, and it was rejected, but if it

This is the first I hear of ACP… how does it compare to AG-UI? Well, obviously this is coding-specific and AG-UI aims to be generic… but beyond that obvious point?

I think there can be a difference between the literal and official meaning of a term, and what it most commonly means in practice - and that’s a descriptive claim about how words get used, not a prescriptive claim that anyone has some moral

If Microsoft wanted to invest more in Windows, I think the most useful thing would be to add more POSIX/Linux APIs and semantics to the Win32 API, to make it easier to port Linux software to being native Win32 apps… look at what Cygwin

Are you a lawyer? "Promissory estoppel" doesn't work that way... it doesn't mean "I don't need to read the legal fine print, I can just go by my interpretation of the press release"
448.
by skissane 1y ago
Yes, but it doesn't tell you the precise legal terms and conditions under which they made it available. Which is the whole point – legally speaking, press releases count for very little, the actual text of the license agreement is far
