I would rather read a write up of someone doing just that. This exact thing has been done many times now and no one is really learning or demonstrating anything new. It is cool, insofar as AI tools are capable of reverse-engineering, mechanical translation, and automatic verification, but it is no longer _novel_ and borders on spam.
It looks like they are attacking the "leaker" instead of addressing the leaked issues? They clearly don't refute that Andy actually did tell employees to stop writing code and to ship faster with AI, and they don't refute the "loser" comment. It looks like damage control through shit-stirring and a poor attempt at a Gish gallop.
You have left out the second half of the sentence, "... by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."
The position taken by the courts and the administration is that "authors and inventors" means "human". The monkey could not be the author of its own selfie photograph, for instance.
Maybe this doesn't reflect the intentions of the Framers, but it certainly should color any modern discussion surrounding the purpose of copyright law.
Pretty sure you need actual knowledge of a planned crime for that to stick. But I'm also sure the defense will be expensive.
I am sure this is a crime, but what crime?
Nuclear is great at replacing gas-fired power stations, which has a few costs that are not included in the price.
The market is not an expert and does not trust experts.
Also built-in to PowerToys.
It would be a terrible idea for Intel to return to DRAM. Just like it was a terrible idea to enter the flash market. They are commodity technologies subject to massive supply and demand shocks. Intel made the most money by leading the process node race and shipping the best silicon for servers, and they lost their way through short-sighted financialization games, long bets on losing technology like 3D XPoint, and forcing out their best engineering talent.
FYI, generating comment text is against HN guidelines.
Just checked, the Soundgarden clip is in its proper place on the Rock Music article. Fantastic work.
There are many permissively-licensed source files in the Linux kernel. You are mistaken if you believe those files cannot be distributed independently and included in other permissively-licensed or closed works. The viral part applies when distributing the combined work, so the vendor can't say "some files are MIT so tough luck"; all sources must be made available for the binary you receive if any source is GPL-licensed.
The <marquee> tag won't steal your job
Nvidia locks the hyperscalars into long-term contracts to buy GPUs and servers. These purchases then fill up warehouses because the data centers and power success cannot be built fast enough to bring the hardware online. The demand only exists because the scalers are in a Mexican standoff, and canceling the Nvidia contract is basically handing the model-training race to the competition.
I support this legislation. It's a wonderful demonstration for children to learn that the state can strip their fundamental rights at will.
If LLMs are good enough to write code, they are good enough to write tests. In fact, they can be quite creative at finding test scenarios which exercise the code in unexpected ways.
The usefulness of testing is basically orthogonal to the advent of language models. This question boils down to whether you think the agents are "cheating" through changing the invariants encoded by the tests to something that no longer matches your project's requirements. To this, I would suggest that you read the code they produce, tests included, and not sign off on stupid changes to cheat on tests. This is not a common thing I've caught agents doing, FWIW.
Passkeys are the standardized version of the bank's proprietary app. Well, except for the device attestation part, that won't happen on iPhones.
How is one earning money through graffiti damage
What? Niantic (Google) admitted they were training spatial AI models. I have not seen evidence that the data was a "foreign intelligence-gathering operation" and I would welcome a source.
Freedom of speech is a thing, and it's well within that right to criticize how private resources are spent.
My friend, inconsistency is the entire point. You now have incredible power to write truly native apps that fit in with the platform and follow all the standards. The bottleneck is now you, or whoever owns each target platform and understands what native apps feel like.
The standard doesn't dictate the UX of settings screens. That's entirely on the platforms which own the screens and I would hope that is kept out of already-huge standards like WebAuthn.
This isn't a standards problem, this is an "Apple, Google, and Microsoft made using your own software difficult" problem. They have an interest in making their authenticators the default, and the settings UX on all three platforms makes it unclear that their authenticator is active as well as your own "third-party" authenticator choice.
Wait, Trezor is just selling off-the-shelf QFP chips and holding their customers accountable for their own supply chain? They can't pot the bare dies? They can't burn in a signature? Do they think everyone else is stupid?
Check the rates! If 3.5% beats your current savings rate, and your balance is high enough, it might pay for itself.
One of the explicit goals for Mold 3.0 is to promote its use as the default linker in Linux distributions, and bootstrapping complexity is certainly worthy of consideration in that realm.
> We will then conduct extensive compatibility testing and work closely with Linux distribution developers to make it practical for them to adopt mold as /usr/bin/ld. Making this happen is one of our highest priorities for mold 3.x.
Those were easily worked around with unsigned drivers or physical hardware. Now Secure Boot is required to run Valorant games, which should be a harbinger for what will happen to your online banking experience if consumers allow this to continue.
It did work with the tray tables at the time (underneath, while open or shut). This was about 4 years ago when we last used it. Passenger behind us was more curious than upset.
There is an easy and FAA-approved child restraint system called CARES. My wife and I purchased one and used it with great success. The flight attendants had never seen one, so it comes with a card for you to show them.
