That has nothing to do with advertisers not wanting their ads next to hate speech and nazi commentary.

Because if they didn't patent it then some other asshole could, and deny them rights to their own invention, because the patent system is stupid.

Business 101 is that all funded companies aim to lose money in order to grow. As long as the growth rate is sufficiently high to justify the losses, this is considered good performance. However, if that ratio goes the wrong way, then compan

You do realize electric and drive by wire is completely orthogonal to the point here right? There are plenty of electric conversion kits for older vehicles that are "dumb", no internet connection and only enough intelligence to ma

Harsher penalties are vastly inferior in all cases to simply making a crime impossible or inconvenient or not have much payoff.

Are either of those things really legal? I'm highly doubtful. In fact, at least for the latter, the official government position is to call an ambulance, don't take someone to the hospital yourself.

Voice recognition is used by people with disabilities all over the world. It's used by voice assistants too. It helps if you consider other people in your view of technology not just your minor pet peeve. Voice recognition is literally

We have been using AI for various tasks for decades now. In fact, every day things you take for granted are powered by machine learning, and most people don't even realize it. Is OCR "a scam just like crypto"? How about voice

Honestly I think it should be biased when it comes to politics. It should be unbiased in terms of evidence. If some narrative has no evidence, but a strong political following, that political following should contribute zero weight to the

For sure, some teams are way better at estimating than others, and I don't think it helps when a team has the attitude that estimates are some sort of corporate bullshit. No other engineering discipline has this level of immaturity. Su

Homekit provides this as well, and by default is local only. There really is no excuse for these devices not to support homekit out of the box other than a money grab.

Personally I would never contribute to AGPL software. I don’t want my contribution to forever be stuck in some political movement. I do contribute to permissive licensed software.

The consequence is that the company will want to improve efficiency by paying for all the utilities for all employees in a single building. E.g. less WFH.

Of course you have to consider what other countries will do when you create your laws. The notion that you can ignore the rest of the world is both naive and incredibly arrogant. There are plenty of technologies that absolutely do not &quot

If we're being critical here, I'd also argue that often the CISO's job and main concern is simply making sure they have the right paperwork and motions in place to pass a given set of industry audit standards. These people ar

Seems like it makes the point perfectly well. You are implying that smaller countries have fewer nukes because of US sanctions, but it could easily also be that those countries are simply smaller. Where it mattered, the US's main enemy

Even this isn't very relevant. So they won't return to the company that laid them off, but that doesn't mean they won't work for a different company that laid off other people. I highly doubt any of these companies will

I strongly disagree. Interacting with manipulative content both harms you, whether or not you believe you are "immune", and only serves to give the author of the content more views and influence. In fact, this sort of content ofte

People are not authentic talking to friends or family in private either. The entire authenticity cult is a creation of modern media and is as much manufactured as "fitting in" is. In fact, I'd say that it's GOOD that peo

And yet many of these sites put enormous effort into combating ad blockers. So clearly the fact that users don’t want ads is fairly significant to them.

I do pay for some more permissive open source projects that I use, even ones I contribute back to, yes. I completely understand organizations banning AGPL software. Having an employee mistakenly violate the license is just too great a risk.

As a business owner I consider AGPL the same as a closed source. It's a thing I need to pay for and I'm not about to contribute free labour to it the same way I wouldn't contribute to any other commercial closed source entity

I suppose Steam handles Windows game installation, so you don't need Windows installer code signing. But it's worth pointing out that for non-Stream applications, compared to the cost of signing a Windows installer, the $99 yearly

Techniques like distilling show that you can in fact get similar performance with 60% fewer parameters. Yes it depends on making the large model first, but that only implies that somehow the large model is perhaps more useful in initial lea

Google isn't claiming any such statement. It's merely providing fun statistics based on their data set. With that context, when I read a headline claiming that the statistics are "wrong," it would imply that the counts a

It depends entirely on what the data set is, and to conclude that it's "wrong" you'd have to consider the underlying data too. Google ngrams makes no claim to be a consistent benchmark type data set. Over time the conten

I don't think there is any "quibble" involved in whether record labels are good or bad for artists. And claiming that the alternative is "torrenting" is really throwing in a huge strawman. The alternative to Spotify
