Good point! Regarding C being the language of choice for mission-critical systems, probably you want to avoid memory bugs that might result ruining the mission. I understand many projects have large C codebases or interact with other projects in C, but migrating to Rust when possible (like replacing lead pipes as you find them for plastic pipes) sounds like a smart choice to build mission-critical low level systems.
I pay for LittleSnitch major releases. I’m kind of forced to, in order to keep up with macOS major releases.
Maybe they can sell the hardware which includes 1 major upgrade release.
Maybe they can have a Kickstarter campaign to fund new releases.
The off-peak hours this pass is valid: Monday to Friday from 9 am to 4 pm and 6.30 pm to 6.30 am. I wonder what happens if you start your ride 3:59 pm.
Good point. I currently choose to give money to Anthrophic rather than OpenAI because they align a tiny bit more with my values and the product is good. Perhaps releasing an open source model every year could be a differentiator from competitors, where enterprise and individuals choses the lab not because is the best model out there but because gives autonomy in case something happens to the organization providing the models.
Because other countries are starting to use AI for military purposes, other countries are also looking into it to asses and learn. Here in Europe there is the EU AI Act to limit harm everyday harm to citizens caused by AI systems. However, it currently excludes military. The new legislation is just started to be enforced to high risk uses (employment filtering, biometrics, etc.) in august 2026, and full rollout in august 2027. In April 2025 there is a report from EU this legislation may help pave the road for military AI usage conventions [1]

I would be totally willing to pay $50 per month to support an open source AI lab, rather to get open source models as byproducts of corporations.
The Internet Archive could block (or add a nag wall) all IP addresses from the NY Times to give the journalist and workers there how it feels to be blocked. I guess that would be against IA’s mission “Universal Access To All Knowledge”
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly.
It is very important to have the time and freedom to be idle.
In our modern society, however, we hear the phrase "time is money". So, if you are idle, you are not making money. Instead of being idle, you should be busy. "business" is good.
I learn this play of words in Spanish. Idle in Spanish is "ocio". Business in Spanish is "negocio". Thus negocio is the combination of words "negación" and "ocio". The phrase "negación del ocio" translates as "idleness denial/negation".
Tangent to the topic: One of the great things about Go is that the Go team goal is to have a great developer experience. As a result, they try to bundle common third party libraries (mux, zap) into the standard library. For example, they offered an http server, but due to lacking features community packages offered convenience. The Go team used those libraries as a reference to what people wanted, and addrd a performant and simple http routing in the standard library[1].
From that link:
We made these changes as part of our continuing effort to make Go a great language for building production systems. We studied many third-party web frameworks, extracted what we felt were the most used features, and integrated them into net/http. Then we validated our choices and improved our design by collaborating with the community in a GitHub discussion and a proposal issue. Adding these features to the standard library means one fewer dependency for many projects. But third-party web frameworks remain a fine choice for current users or programs with advanced routing needs.
Good question. I find law in general quite ambiguous and full of edge cases and exceptions.
My basic understanding is that self-determination is the right of a nation to choose their own way of government.
[1] Self-determination includes the right of a people of an existing State to choose freely their own political system and to pursue their own economic, social, and cultural development. As such it does not, in light of the current state of international law, impose on all States the duty to introduce or maintain a democratic form of government, but essentially refers to the principle of sovereign equality of States and the prohibition of intervention which are already part of international law

Why it’s not similar at all?
I want to make an ajax request using jQuery. I look up an example in StackOverflow. I use a very similar code to the example given in the post and by not giving any attribution I just claim ownership.
Same with Spring in action books or looking up Java class references. Many times I look something up and use it as reference just tweaking the examples given.
Millions of programmers have done this.
LLMS in principle use the training data to generate an answer to the prompt, similar to the process I described.
Isn’t similar to looking up/copying code from stack overflow, Google or books? Use it as reference to write the code and claim ownership. My little understanding is that the whole copyright free ride for LLMS is because it is similar to the process of humans using content under copyright as reference to create something new and claim ownership.
I recommend activating "Show Illuminating Sun Beam" under "Explanatory tools" by clicking the graduation cap icon in the top right corner.

I have a different point of view. This was a test to see if the AI could perform a specific task. Asking AI to draw a pelican riding a bike is another test. I find the experiment interesting because it proves that currently LLMs are not able to perform a simple task reliably for a long period of time.
If the journalist was not asking the right questions, or was too obvious the article was PR it’s another thing (I haven’t read WSJ’s piece, only the original post by Anthropic)
Interesting points! Maybe a better term is LLMs (BTW smart phones are not smart and people don’t seem to be confused). I agree with being dependent and sending so much data to those servers. I would mention there is a version of ChatGPT you can run locally[1].
I recommend Current Events from Wikipedia[1] for a neutral summary of the most important news in the world.
It looks like the default background.
In this screenshot you can hardly read the app names because the color of the text is white and the background is also very white:
I am surprised they forgot the important detail of good contract to be able to read the name of apps.
I tried to reproduce the situation described in the post by Googling "ps/2 model 280". I refreshed the page about 15 times and gives a very similar answer every time. For example:
The IBM PS/2 Model 280 was a low-end PS/2 model, often associated with the earlier IBM PC/XT and PC/AT models.
It featured an 80286 CPU, a smaller hard drive, and a proprietary 3.5-inch floppy drive. While it used ISA slots for expansion, its proprietary RAM and other components made it less attractive for retro computing compared to the Model 30 286
It seems the AI response is cached for a few minutes.
I tried in Kagi "ps/2 model 280?". This is the first response:
```
While a specific "PS/2 Model 280" is not definitively documented, here's what can be gathered:
- It seems that AI models sometimes make errors regarding the PS/2 Model 280, describing it as an ISA-based 286 system. 12
- The IBM PS/2 (Personal System/2) was a line of personal computers from IBM, introduced in 1987 3.
- PS/2 computers had two BIOSes: ABIOS (Advanced BIOS) and CBIOS (Compatible BIOS). 4
- One source mentions "CHIPS/280" including undocumented IBM PS/2 Model 80 address recovery logic. 5
- The PS/2 Model 30, released in 1987, used an Intel 8086 processor and had an 8-bit ISA bus. 6
- The PS/2 Model 30 286 had a 10MHz 286 CPU and could have 2 MB of RAM. 7
- The PS/2 Model 80 offered enhanced performance for commercial and compute-intensive tasks. 8

IBM PS/2 (Model 80) - Technical specifications ardent-tool.comI waited a few minutes and this is the response now:
```
While information on the IBM PS/2 Model 280 is limited, here's what is available:
- There is mention of the PS/2 Model 280, with claims that it "was a significant step forward in IBM's personal computer line" 1. However, it's also noted that claims about the PS/2 Model 280 being an ISA-based 286 system may be inaccurate 2.
- The IBM PS/2 series included a variety of models in different form factors like desktops, towers, all-in-ones, portables, laptops, and notebooks 3. Some notable models include:
Model 30: Featured an Intel 8086 processor at 8 MHz and an 8-bit ISA bus 4.
Model 80: A high-end desktop with a 32-bit Intel 386 processor, initially running at 16 MHz, housed in a tower case 5.

I find the way Kagi gives references superior to the way Google does. Anyway, in the second answer Kagi's AI started to get a bit confused by stating "it's also noted that claims about the PS/2 Model 280 being an ISA-based 286 system may be inaccurate" missing the conclusion of the post.
Taking the “organic certification” approach, there could be a “ad-free certification” for products and companies. This could be a first step towards an ad-free world.
In the post or the comments here nobody mentions end-to-end encryption. Obsidian Sync offers multi-user sync withe2e encryption. An open source general tools solving the same problem would be great.

Thank you for sharing. I had three perfectly normal flagged posts I don’t recall flagging
Most of the time I have ProtonVPN in my phone and computer, which solves the IP association problem for me
I created a cross-platform version using this approach https://github.com/sanbor/emoji
It's very slow in comparison because it uses llama3.2 model but it's a very common model and the emojis generated are more related to the lines.
Next feature would be to add an emoji model to this tool to make it faster.
I am pretty sure you can get the same result using ollama. Like “cat emojiprompt.txt input.txt | ollama run llama3 | tee output.txt”
