It's absolutely mind boggling to see claims of model distillation being theft, a class of attack, and all sorts of claims all the while Meta is in court for copyright violation, anthropic has had to settle a case with authors. With dis

I think it depends on the depth of the summary, and the purpose. You can do quite an indepth analysis as part of educational material for example, which is one of the tests of fair use. I think a key thing to remember when assessing your ow

That's not true, or they wouldn't have settled for 1.5bln specifically for training on pirated material. https://apnews.com/article/anthropic-copyright-authors-settl...

I understand your thoughts. I've had similar motivation problems about blogging since the release of ChatGPT. Feels like you are writing for a machine rather than readers. Definitely seen a decline in readers since December 2023 on old

Excellent deep dive and explanation of the process of tracking down and fixing it. Thanks for sharing it, it was a fun read. Will definitely keep this in mind next time I fire up farcry for some nostalgia!

This reminds me very much of the fun of the "old internet", late 90's early 2000s geocities fun! Love it.

That's not quite true. There is support for "strict" tables which does have more stringent rules around types https://sqlite.org/stricttables.html

Nanite is a lot more than just a continuous lod system. The challenges they needed to solve were above and beyond that. Continuous lod systems have been used for literal decades in things like terrain. The challenges for continuous lod for

Nanite does a few things: - continuous lod as this library does - software rasterization for small single pixel triangles which reduces quad overdraw - deferred materials (only material IDs and some geometry properties are written in the ge

I've been working on an automatic sky tracking telescope over the past few months. I'm a few weeks behind on blogging but making solid progress. V1 is nearing completion. Then I want to rework some of the electronics to design and

I'm not sure how that's entirely relevant. Success of another platform doesn't imply failure of another platform. It's also relatively common for different regions of the world to settle into different social media netwo

It's actually wildly successful and most companies would kill to have a social media platform with that level of success. On the play store it's #2 in the charts ahead of ChatGPT, behind Temu. Perhaps you need to rethink your defi

I'd personally be worried publishing this due to potentially also being classified as gaining unauthorized access to a computer system. It may temporarily be a publically accessible and poorly secured API, but that doesn't mean it

I'm pretty interested in how companies are exploring how to properly monetize or compensate for scraped content to help keep a strong ecosystem of quality content. Id love to see more efforts like this.

According the Lady Ada from Adafruit relatively few will run into it, but if you are affected it can be worked around by adding an extra resistor for the affected pins into your circuit. So it seems it's an annoyance rather than a kill

Good article! When I was first learning to produce some tutorials I knew sound was an important aspect but it was quite a lot to learn. This level of depth was good. I especially struggled with the advice of "just use your ears".

Yeah it will be the default in the future. They laid out their roadmap a while go. It's a long roadmap to allow libraries to update. IIRC it would be default by 3.16 at the earliest. I think there was even a stage where there would be

The used market is really good now from a buyers perspective. I'm working on a few projects and wanted a few extra pi's. Managed to grab a few used ones from people that have sidelined their projects. Good condition. Basically pai

I've heard this response and it still doesn't make sense to me. If I get caught downloading a movie, it's not a defence to point to the ripper and say "I didn't violate the copyright, they did!" I don't se

I've been hearing peak oil is happening "next year" for at least 20 years. There's plenty of reasons to clean up our energy supply, but this is the weakest of all the reasons.

Reminds me of my experience learning microcontrollers last year. You strip away many of the layers of abstraction and remember just how fast computers truly are and how much work they can do every second.
