It doesn't seem like this challenges anything but the market for gaming devices (not general purpose PCs). Is that correct? And if so, is the title ("terrified") a little overblown?

The relationship between those two things is more like the relationship between burgers and fries, two things that some people may think belong together, but having a claim on one surely has connection to having a claim on the other.

There are two different trials in the USA, one focused on search as a product (which Google lost, and plans to appeal after remedies are determined), and another antitrust trial about advertising (of which the trial happened, but no ruling yet).

I don't know much at all about the ads ecosystem so I have no idea how may adsense should be playing in either trial though.

That's because license requirements are on _other_ users (who are being licensed to use it) to follow, not the owner (who _owns_ it and doesn't need to follow the license terms the owner requires of others).

Nevertheless, not every license is open source, open source does have a definition, and it's not about whether the owner is following their own license.

It doesn't seem like there was an additional recent event here, but the article summarizes the activity so far.

The ipde.com blog has many posts covering the events as they happened: https://ipde.com/blog/tag/mavexar/, the author Andrew_Russell is also on HN.

I would think student loan forgiveness is bad in the way bailing out banks is bad. It solves a specific problem now, but if you don't figure out a way to change the way things work it will simply happen again. It can make sense if it brings existing obligations in line with whatever new plan is offered (assuming that makes sense given the plan), but by itself it sounds like a way of sneaking in free tuition instead of making (and debating the merits of) free tuition.

For anyone who (like me) was confused at what this is, it's a Unix like OS for embedded systems.

It's a parameter passed to the tcl_m function it's enclosed in.

Related to the playful vs serious, I got a lot out of this essay

In my experience, I might like a cool bed if I was hot in the evening (say, I was physically active). Otherwise, I prefer a cool room with a nice blanket.

The article says that the judge wrote that in order to comply with protocol they were required to hold onto emails for longer than they did, he did not say that they could never be deleted.

Skimming the article I don't see this information: what's the false positive rate?

The article says that the blood test (if positive) is followed up with a scan to confirm the diagnosis, but if there were to be a lot of false positives that wouldn't be so simple.

EDIT: okay, reading the original paper, appears the false positive and false negative rates are pretty much equal.

It could definitely be seen as part of that strategy, but do you mind elaborating why you think "this launch confirms it"?

I think GP's point is that wiz's valuation makes even less sense.

It sounds like you're saying exactly what TFA says? Bit odd to criticize an NYT article (and without linking) as a comment on an article that does get into these details?

Well, a few days ago there was a post about the Unison language, where code is stored in AST form and text is just a representation.

I think it's bad to stack bars in a graph, because it means you can't properly gauge the second layer (for example, the remote jobs quantity, at the beginning of the results section). Better to have two bars side by side (for each timestamp), one for remote, and another for not remote.

I'm reminded of this response to the question "Is materialism essential to scientific progress?" <https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/110019>.

Based on

It definitely sounds like they intend to charge a nice amount of money.

Because it's officially "open" AI?

(i didn't watch the video but) The method section in the wiki page says

> 3. Stopping when reaching "Philosophy", or a page with no links, or when a loop occurs[4]

So, philosophy is explicitly chosen by the method as the "positive" occurrence vs its absence. If this is not the case, then wiki is doing a bad job explaining I think.

If the chosen stopping point was some other category, would the percentage be lower? Or is this merely a phenomenon that you can eventually reach any category by repeatedly clicking on the first link?

Additionally, the possibility of consequences (including those created and enforced by human beings, formal or otherwise) are also factors in the "deterministic" action of an individual, so for the benefit of society (assuming there are outcomes that society can improve via expectations and consequences) then it makes perfect sense for there to be consequences.

Bottom line though, whether the system is deterministic or not doesn't affect our experience of it.

It's possible to just memorize the words, of course. But for myself, I find that very tedious and difficult to make myself do (nor very worthwhile), and much prefer becoming deeply acquainted with the text in order to memorize it.

Okay, so they're regulating AI. What's most noteworthy to me is how applicability appears completely arbitrary and sounds like it could even be set after the fact by virtue of the jury instructions allowed.

Some domains do require regulations updates do to changes in the field, in which case it may make sense to have a commission (sorta like they're doing here), but based on this post, they basically just gave a carte blanche to disallow everything (while not directly stating that nothing is allowed).

> Deductive reasoning is the process of drawing valid inferences. An inference is valid if its conclusion follows logically from its premises, meaning that it is impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion to be false.

So the thing that stands out in the article, is that cloudflare's initial communications (and the final communications, when they moved to ban) implied issues with their behavior (trust and safety team, terms of service violations), but in between it sounds like the didn't talk about ToS at all, just sales team asking them to buy enterprise. Though it's possible OP is omitting some explanation given by as why enterprise plan would alleviate ToS issues.

Yes, but there's recently been an antitrust case filed against Apple for the lock in strategy.

That actually fits well with the origin of the words (as described in the article). And it makes sense because engine is sometimes used metaphorically (?) (as you note), while motor is not.
