The UK has an official system [1] for checking whether people should be allowed to work with vulnerable people.

You still need a few people high enough up in a company who think that quality does matter to be able to get the job to fix things.

That will happen, in the lucky cases, when someone high enough up with basic reasoning skills looks at support costs and time spent fixing bugs versus feature release velocity and sales income.

Means that other platforms need to allow Rust in the kernel too in order to use future drivers.

Windows already does, so you’re talking about the BSDs or Darwin?

BSDs and other Open Source OSes that rely on Linux drivers.

Windows probably has not many (or any) drivers ported from Linux.


Please, stop pluralizing "BSD's", every BSD it's different and OpenBSD only reuses Linux drivers for KMS/DRM; FreeBSD has special layers and tons of drivers ported and NetBSD it's closer to philosophy in design.

I will pluralize as all of them port some drivers from Linux

So GNU/Linux now it's in the same group as FreeBSD as it has ZFS? Because neither NetBSD nor OpenBSD have it.

OpenBSD doesn't 'rely' on Linux drivers, thanks. Just a shim against KMS/DRM, everything else it's either homegroup or sometimes adapted (back and forth) from NetBSD but OFC patched for correctness and security. There's no ALSA. Pulse it's totally optional. There's no wpa_supplicant except for Eduroam or simlar niche crap under OpenBSD.

OpenBSD has OSS and sndiod. There's Xenocara, an X11 fork. Again, not Linux, X11, MESA and Gallium are damn generic. Show me the rest of ported Linux drivers into OpenBSD, please.

Are you sure OpenBSD is that dependant GNU/Linux?


What do you mean other platforms?

Also they can just expose c bindings to these rust libraries no?


The old drivers are mostly dual GPL or MIT licenced, they have been used in all the BSD variants.

If the LLM was trained on any GPL licenced code then there is an argument that all output is GPL too, legal departments should be worried.

I am not aware of any argument for that. Even if the output is a derivative work (which is very doubtful) that would make it a breach of copyright to distribute it under another license, not automatically apply the GPL.

If the output is a derivative work of the input then you would be in breach of copyright if the training data is GPL, MIT, proprietary - anything other than public domain or equivalent.


People used to bank with Barclays to register their support for Apartheid in South Africa.


It stopped people asking about the Epstein files.


... I don't think it stopped people from talking about it, though. That gambit has failed.

Oh thats great.

I also use the wallpaper on https://hplovecraft.com/ as my actual wallpaper.


These are great, but the effect breaks down with digital fonts since every glyph instance is the same. There would have to be slight variations of each, and other imperfections caused by a typewriter or printing process.

I'm not sure I like the effect of the font in the article. The subtle vertical position differences and inconsistent kerning are distracting. Typewriters and physical printing are not sloppy in that sense.


I've seen "handwritten" fonts in the past that used ligatures to have three or four variations of each letter, which makes it a lot less obvious.


People that I'm currently working with are using AI to try to extract data from the text of published papers, getting access to raw data sets doesn't seem to be a priority.


The data is supposed to be available from the authors in almost all cases, but in many (most?) cases the authors won't provide it.


It should be easily accessed without even having to ask (links should be automatically provided and maintained by whatever entity published the paper).


Britain (technically England) has prosecuted a monarch [1].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I_of_England


>Charles was tried, convicted, and executed for high treason in January 1649. The monarchy was abolished and the Commonwealth of England was established as a republic. The monarchy was restored in 1660, with Charles's son Charles II as king.

lol and immediately restored the monarchy with his son


There have been comments that some leading AI researchers were switching away from working on language models to do stuff with "real world data".


What do you mean?


Meaning a GPT but next token is a live sensor reading or a servo angle or accelerometer state. Then connect that GPT with an actual LLM as a controller and you (hopefully) have a physical machine with arms, legs and a mind.
