Much simpler: They'll make WEI-verification mandatory for all government sites. And then banking. And then anyone doing commerce.

On the other hand, old software often runs better (or at all) on dosbox or wine than on windows.

Well, ok, let's assume for a moment that ads are valuable to some users, perhaps informing them of a solution to a problem they didn't even know had solutions. That still wastes the attention of everyone who doesn't actually

It would be possible to make iterators more SIMD-friendly than they are today but that would come at the cost of interpreting what the user might have intended and then dropping or introducing additional side-effects (e.g. by skipping thing

Loading 100GB into RAM and then calling fork() is just painting a giant OOM Killer target on your back. It'll work until something breaks the CoWs or the parent gets restarted while some forks still linger or other fun things like that

Threads are cheap compared to the process-per-request model that came before. And they're easy to code for, you don't have to worry about blocking code or awaiting your futures in the correct way or things like that. They'r

The ancient server box doesn't need to do that. Publishing the hashes to DNS can happen somewhere else. And the clients would have to trust their local resolver if they don't want to do the validation themselves.

The TLS treadmill + certificate authority lists are antithetical to stability. HTTP + merkle-tree based integrity checking + having the merkle root in DNS could be way more stable. Even the the SHA1 deprecation would barely affect this, as

I would guess we'll see steeper gradients which means more extreme weather.

But that restriction also makes it incompatible with other licences which means the code can't be used by other FOSS projects. And often people care more about that. It'd be great if we had something like an LAGPL though.

I think most people don't want to be that anti-corporate. Otherwise they wouldn't use permissive licenses in the first place. And there may be non-license options that are friendlier to open source than corporate. E.g. if someon

Depends, how do you distinguish humans acquiring knowledge by ingesting copyrighted content vs. a human using an AI that ingested copyrighted content?

Humans are also trained on copyrighted content they see. Should every artist have to pay that fee too on every work they create? Disney will finally be able to charge a "you know what the mouse looks like" tax.

That seems unlikely to me. Models are multi-modal now, so they'll likely train on video and audio content too. Once that's tapped out they can learn better world models by not passively ingesting data but interacting with it, e.g.

You get a recent kernel + mesa + vulkan which means a recent proton shipped with steam can use all the extensions it wants for efficiency. Recent kernels also contain a few features specifically designed to aid wine. Also, it's probabl
