If a model is derived work of its training data, surely all the existing frontier models that have been training on copyrighted work have a big legal issue, and therefore so does anything produced with them?

This just shows a black screen for me?

Is there a reason a capability has to be covered by only a single permission? Why not have one accessibility permission that covers all that and then a bunch of individual permissions for non-accessibility apps?

It depends on the process. Argon/CO2 is used for MIG welding, while TIG generally uses pure argon. In some situations that justify the expense, helium is used instead as it allows deeper weld penetration.

I'm working on Lightningbeam (https://lightningbeam.org), an integrated multimedia editor. It's inspired mainly by Macromedia Flash, Apple GarageBand, and Kdenlive. It combines animation, audio and video editing into a single timeline. It's cross-platform, running natively on Linux, macOS and Windows.

I'm currently rewriting the UI in Rust - previously it had a Rust backend and a JS frontend using Tauri, but I ran into bandwidth limitations which prevented it from being really usable as a video editor. It's currently in early alpha.

Doesn't seem to work for me - tried in both Firefox and Chromium and I can see the waveform when I talk but the transcription just shows "Awaiting audio input".

If so, then finding the redacted string would be similar to trying to brute-force a hash (though presumably slower, since text layout algorithms are probably more complex than a single hash invocation).

It would be nice if this told you upfront how many questions there were - after sixteen with nothing changing I figured it was probably endless but apparently there are twenty?

The only reason I use Wayland is display scaling - with a high DPI screen, many apps are blurry or inconsistently scaled under X11. Given the parade of other issues Wayland brings, I wish the development effort were instead spent on improving highDPI support in X11.

Starting at an initial density of air, suppose you descend a distance D such that the air density doubles. Now your air is twice as dense, which doubles the pressure underneath it, meaning if you descend a further D the density will double again. Continue ad infinitum (or at least until the ideal gas law stops being a good approximation).

Gravity changes little over that distance - it's more because of the compounding effect of atmospheric pressure (the deeper you go, the more air you have above you which raises the pressure, raising the density and meaning that pressure increases exponentially faster).

An interesting corollary of this is that if you only have a single sample, it reduces to indicating that your sample is the median value - i.e. if you see one item with serial number N, you can guess that there were roughly 2N produced.

My understanding is that coal/nuclear/gas plants provide a certain amount of stability thanks to the rotational inertia in the turbines. It seems like a relatively inexpensive way to retain that capacity would be to keep the old turbines to function essentially as flywheels, to stabilize the grid, after the plants powering them are shut down.

It sounds like a pitch that you might hear from an airplane propeller, which leads to the question why airsickness exists if the antidote is ambiently present?

Toughness is not the same as strength.

They do have accelerometers as well as gyroscopes, so technically they could integrate acceleration twice to keep track of position...but in practice it's way more reliable to just keep it at a constant distance from the head.

I guess it could be a family of four if you have two of them and both parents drive.

The trunk in the Aptera is actually pretty huge, it's like six feet deep. What's mainly sacrificed is passenger capacity since it's only a 2-seater.

Theoretically you could do this in Linux by calling /usr/bin/sl or whatever - but since various distros put binaries in different places, that would probably cause more problems than it could solve.

That just makes it six times as important!

A big issue I see with this is that it would necessitate a new fast charging standard, which (due to the extra ground connection) could not be backwards compatible with any existing fast charging standard - rendering it useless for the 40 million electric cars already on the roads worldwide.

Here's hoping that touchscreen becomes available as a component for the 13 as well.

Not sure the range operator is fully specified, this works and seems like it shouldn't:

  echo "regular expressions" | ./trre  "[a:A-z:a]"
  REGULAR EXPRESSIONS

In fact, "[a:A-z:x]" seems to do the same thing as "[a:A-z:Z]" for all x.

I’m a developer with a passion for building and problem-solving that extends far beyond the code I write. I bring a hands-on, creative approach to everything I do – whether it’s designing and building custom tiny homes out of buses and vans, or developing innovative solutions to everyday challenges. I have experience in welding, woodworking, electronics, and mechanical design, and I thrive on finding unique ways to merge technology and sustainability. From turning discarded materials into functional objects to powering my workshop entirely off the grid, I’m always looking for ways to reduce waste and make a positive environmental impact.

Outside of development, I enjoy diving into projects that allow me to combine my technical skills with my creative side – whether that’s composing music, crafting custom upholstery, or designing quirky contraptions for an annual race of pedal-powered sculptures. My background as a technician running cables and setting up networks also means I’m highly adaptable and comfortable in hands-on, fast-moving environments. Ultimately, I’m a maker at heart, and I love bringing fresh, practical solutions to any challenge I encounter.

Would the removed data be something that could be requested under FOIA?

This is neat, but the technology itself isn't "new": the basic idea has been around for decades, and I've seen videos from companies demonstrating this at trade shows for a while as well. This is also how Firefly Aerospace 3d-prints their rockets.
