We hebben een serieus* probleem.

Interesting, I hadn't heard about that frivolous lawsuit before: https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-wins-protection-time-...

I was about to say the same. Having lived mostly in Vue land, this quote felt astounding to me:

"The React team themselves have made it clear: runtime CSS injection will always be slower than statically extracted styles. They recommend using <link rel="stylesheet"> for static styles and inline styles for dynamic values. That's the future."

I thought this lesson was already widely learned since the jQuery days.

If/once this goes through, I wonder what the adoption is going to be like now that all LLMs still only have the v1 api in their corpus.

Except the FIDO Alliance is trying to pressure KeepassXC to remove exporting passkeys in an open format: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407

The author seems a bit... immature in their handling of things? Using a friend's login to pentest stuff (causing the friend to get fired, rightfully so), defacing internal applications, creating bogus orders...

They're cocky and they don't fully seem to grasp yet how their behavior works against them.

In a way, yes!

> GitHub and its leadership team will continue its mission as part of Microsoft’s CoreAI organization, with more details shared soon.

It seems like a condensed version of the first 2 chapters of this: https://goodsniff.substack.com/

Good read so far! Chapter 3 delves more into the highs and lows of working on the show.

> I've switched back to three button navigation.

I've been using it since forever, but recently noticed that the latest update broke the back button in certain scenarios I can't figure out yet.

This is crazy bad, malpractice-level bad if this were a regulated profession.

It's really funny to see the screenshot that they're running an unactivated version of Windows Server 2016.

I'm curious, why should rape roleplay stay in the bedroom but mass-murder or burtal torture in, say, GTA V is fine?

Reality has a well-known liberal bias

I, for one, dont't agree with the idea that Europe is too regulatory and bureaucratic. I welcome my rights as a consumer and human being being safeguarded at the cost of a small amount of profit.

I hate unaccountable black-box algorithms taking over everything, becoming the new convenient excuse.

What they don't tell you is that you can request/demand a second fridge for medical reasons and don't have to explain any further. Take that for what you want.

Man, I love reading esoteria like these

Then rewrote the history and force-pushed so it never happened.

I'm not sure that's a fair characterization. Most of the readers in these genres read a lot of books, so for them it makes sense to go with an unlimited subscription. I'm sure they may have only bought and read half if the subscription wasn't an option, but they will still have paid a lot of money to satisfy their hobbies.

There are certain genres of which 90% of authors are publishing exclusively on Amazon, because all other authors in that genre are too and that's where the customer base is. They all publish under Kindle Unlimited, which allows readers with a subscription to read unlimited books (of which authors get paid a certain % of that months total KU profit).

That phenomena isn't a coincidence, a large percentage of readers in this genre will have KU because almost the entire genre they love is on there. To sign up for KU requires authors to agree to an exclusive publishing agreement, meaning they can't publish their ebooks on other platforms. This means that the majority of that genre will never migrate to other platforms.

But then the irrelevant instructions are just cluttering the context.

They also have a preference for a certain, Google-created UI framework: "React (JavaScript/TypeScript) with Bootstrap CSS, incorporating Material Design principles for UI/UX."

Not just that, I think this will happen on multiple levels too. Think de-facto ossified libraries, tools, etc.

LLMs thrive because they had a wealth of high-quality corpus in the form os Stack Overflow, Github, etc. and ironically their uptake is causing a strangulation of that source of training data.

"[...] to English, where the interpreter was once literally another person but is now downgraded to an AI prompt system."

I just saw this on Reddit where someone posted screenshots of the change:

That is a massive change. Pointing to a commercial product of theirs and locking the conversation immediately is very off-putting.

$550 for perpetual access to 1 copy which may only be lent to 1 person at a time.. Yep, abusive.

Tangentially related, I spotted a show on Nebula yesterday about two men going on a train journey from the arctic to Africa called Downie Express.

> Previously, a Meta executive in charge of project management, Michael Clark, had testified that Meta allegedly modified torrenting settings "so that the smallest amount of seeding possible could occur," which seems to support authors' claims that some seeding occurred. And an internal message from Meta researcher Frank Zhang appeared to show that Meta allegedly tried to conceal the seeding by not using Facebook servers while downloading the dataset to "avoid" the "risk" of anyone "tracing back the seeder/downloader" from Facebook servers. Once this information came to light, authors asked the court for a chance to depose Meta executives again, alleging that new facts "contradict prior deposition testimony."

Well, Facebook torrented the copyrighted material they used for training, which means they distributed all those files too. With the personal approval of Zuck. What is the difference according to you?

They can even go through specially bored tunnels! Oh wait...
