While the author mentions that they are not trying to defend the Phoebus cartel, I think they may inadvertently be somewhat misleading in their explanation. What they are saying is…

Without wanting to take a stance on either side of these arguments, it does occur to me that, for this and other major FOSS projects deciding on AI policies, others can always star…

There’s confusion about the classifiers on Fable. They don’t ban chemistry and biology topics they flag as a potential risk, they ban anything related to chemistry or biology at al…

Asking about this, it seems like that might be the case: they likely intended the "even if they were not LLM-generated" to be counterfactual. It's an unfortunate place to leave suc…

>And for what it's worth, it seems like they only care if the project is directly crypto related (e.g if you had a repo directly implementing a Monero node, that would probably not…

Honestly, for me, both. While I can't find something specific about it in the new ToS, the new blog post notes that "side projects and experiments", and "specific tools and custom …

That's just presenting improvements to a mechanism; while it isn't common, particularly for watches, and I don't know much about earlier examples, they do seem to exist. For clocks…

One of the significant problems with systems like automatic speed limits (and lane following, etc) is that they need to work well, and reliably, in all conditions, or they end up p…

A perhaps similar sort of finder existed on a number of older (eg, first half of the 20th century) cameras, usually as a secondary option or an accessory, for quick shots. They ten…

That would be interesting to try, but unfortunately, at least on iOS, it’s region-locked by account region, so as someone who goes back and forth between the US and Europe often, d…

On the one hand, the developers who were ultimately tasked directly with building Horizon were completely unqualified to write an accounting system, and lacked even basic knowledge…

To add to the license complexity, the model uses another FUTO-written license, though it at least does not seem as bad as the license for the keyboard: https://huggingface.co/futo-…

These sorts of services do seem very dependent on the details of how they are organized. I’ve had experience with two university libraries with 3d printers. They both advertise the…

> It would be awesome if they supported something like Hurricane Electric’s tunneling. HE tunnel IP space is now sufficiently penalized as non-residential/office that I’ve had to t…

For both me (physics) and my wife (history), in the American system, both at strong universities, most of our committee members read most of of our dissertations. For her, in a fie…

> Clearly with LLMs, bulletproof denials are ~impossible due to the way LLMs work. As a scientist who repeatedly ran into the classifier-based denials: it appears Anthropic’s strat…

The reported commit [1] suggests to me that it was an account compromise of some sort, not orphan+adopt: the committer is the same in git, but the contact email changes in the PKGB…

>What some read as "gatekeeping" and "Arch Linux hostility" is in reality just a difference of culture, and that's not a bad thing. Oddly enough, when I was writing that, I wasn't …

I'm not asking for myself. Yes, I understand the build process, and know what to check. I've also written PKGBUILDs before and have had packages in AUR. I'm sure you understand it …

>`rua` and other similar CLIs make it really easy to review the packages before installing them from AUR too, and if you are doing banking on the same computer, you really have no …

Europe does not consistently have KYC for phone service, at least for mobile connections. Normal phone companies in Ireland don't ask for information when buying SIMs (physical one…

The filter is not simply a bioweapons filter: the model card seems to say that the filter triggers on anything related to biology or chemistry .

It appears that the blocking here is of a very different nature than for Opus. Whereas with Opus the blocks seem to be for messages it deems potentially harmful, for Fable, it appe…

Different EU countries seem to heavily vary on this point. I’ve seen everything from requirements for id scans and addresses to esims that accept cryptocurrency as payment.
