Funny, as someone that uses Android, sideloads apps, and is the "tech guy" for some older people, I went "yep, Google's own Play Store is full of shitty apps".
I recommend getting an Android phone (there are cheap Google Pixels out there) and try to sideload an app. Also browse the web a bit without an adblocker. I'd be surprised if by the end of the experiment you thought that sideloading is the reason their grandma's phone is full of crap.
OSS is allowed to make money and there are projects that require paid licenses for commerical use.
The source is available and collaborative.
Qt states this on their site:
Simply put, this is how it works: In return for the value you receive from using Qt to create your application, you are expected to give back by contributing to Qt or buying Qt.
There is nothing in the open source licensees that prevents charging money, in fact, non-commercial clauses are seen as incompatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
And there is a lot of companies out there that make their money based on open source software, red hat is maybe the biggest and most well known.
I meant in the sense that someone else can redistribute the source for free, not that the company has to do it.
> The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.
They're printing 12 μm features (fig 4h). For high speed mass production of more or less arbitrary geometry with no need to retool it's seriously impressive.
Going off some Photoshop dimensionating with the scale bar, that Benchy is about w 6mm x h 5mm[0] which, if I'm reading [1] correctly, is just about 100x smaller than the canonical Benchy. Impressive that you can recognise it at all, I'd say.
[0] Strictly more like 5.5mm x 4.5mm but you get the idea.
I am sorry about that. What I am saying is that it's hard to trust the content given the context. And more so these articles are extremely verbose with a lot of BS in them, so it makes getting to the "content" a lot more work for me.
In any case I had one paragraph about the content and one side-note about the writing style. Every single reply except one focused on the side-note, including you.
> Israel and Iran each gave conflicting reports about whether Ayatollah Khamenei had likely been killed in a strike.
> In a televised speech, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said “there are many indications" that the supreme leader had been killed in an attack, which he said, destroyed the “compound of the tyrant Khamenei.”
> About the same time Mr. Netanyahu was speaking, Esmaeil Baghaei, a spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry told ABC News that Ayatollah Khamenei was “safe and sound.”
This seems very similar to the situation of a new employee dropped into a large codebase of varying quality. It seems like similar techniques will get you out of the mess?
Also, you can ask the coding agent for help at understanding it, unlike the old days when whoever wrote it is long gone.
Only the coding agent will only give you plausible answers, not necessarily correct ones. So read the code. Oh, but you now can't because all you know is how to ask coding agents.
You can ask it to read over all the commits to tell a story about what happened, backing that up by quoting the code and linking to the changes in the commits. Then you can read the code yourself and see what it did.
You could also ask it to write bits of code to do experiments to figure out what the code really does. Then you could reproduce the same experiment.
These things are pretty similar to what a human might do to reverse-engineer a program. Some skills might atrophy a bit, but the idea that this makes you helpless is a fallacy.
But what is more broadly true is that as we adopt new technologies we depend on them more and more, and eventually start removing the backups. I'm old enough to remember when people didn't have Internet and saw Internet service gradually change from a luxury to a necessity. Eventually people cancel their landlines. Eventually, you can't get a new landline even if you wanted to.
It's unclear whether the price increases we saw for ride sharing (for example) will come to AI. There's plenty of competition and not much in the way of lock-in. And by the time the bubble is over, the underlying costs may have dropped due to improved algorithms.
It might be more like personal computing in the 80's, when Moore's law resulted in both more usage and cheaper prices as the tech improved.
Looks like it, yes. It's encouraging given that so many discussions of these topics online are wrong. The explanation of constraints on bank lending in particular is something many people should read.
An advantage of running a coding agent in a VM is that to answer your question, it can install arbitrary software into the VM. (For example, running apt-get or using curl to install a specialized tool.) WebAssembly seems suitable for more specialized agents where you already know what software it will need?
You're expecting logic from the Trump administration and that's not really how they do things. Maybe it was never about the redlines? Maybe they decided Anthropic was their enemy, and that was their excuse.
