I guess it has a little to do with your goals. Optimal trade economically or avoiding giving something that looks like a win to this type of politicians with the goal of avoiding re-electing trump. I don’t know what science say here.

And they need some kind of downvote. Projects needs to be able to lose a star.

Or it’s a patent for ”a method” of doing that, that is much more specific?

The question is whether the method is sufficiently novel or specific enough to the problems/difficulties of solving a specific domain’s problems to warrant a patent.

It’s one of those kinds of patents i assume I’m violating every 100 lines of code I write.


Yeah, it does feel a bit silly with my encrypted disks, encrypted backups, unique passwords, advanced router, etc, while I send everything I do in plain text to anthropic.

I don’t think it’s lunacy to care about the context around something and not just the final product.


Still there are plenty of world wide organizations that are less corrupt than fifa.


I'm actually not even sure I can think of an organisation more corrupt. Maybe the IOC is up there?


The FIA (motorsport governing body) is giving them a run for their money. Recently removed presidency term limits and made several other rule changes to prevent challengers. And like FIFA, despite the majority opinion seeming to be against the corruption the decisions get rubber stamped anyway.


Im sure you are right, but I’m not sure what you mean. I can search for an address fine in search and I get an embedded map that I can click to open Google Maps. How does it work in the US?


Does not work for me. Presumably there is some popup you have to accept somewhere for it to work.


If you click on the address result (the button in the map), it will normally work.

Mostly tested on Firefox on Mac in the EU.


Im guessing parent meant more open in this particular case, i.e open weight models vs closed cloud hosted. Obviously china is not an open country.


From what we know this far it’s quite easy to be on Apples side in this particular question, right?


Yes it was more of a jest than a critique, the comment didn't explicitly say which one it was. In this case, it seems quite clear that Apple has a case.


Especially since Apple has no history of doing this—suggests this is on another level of theft.

(I worked at Apple and am aware of little "theft" incidents that came and went. Obviously those little incidents never made the news cycle.)


How could you have worked at Apple during the entire Samsung lawsuit and say Apple has no history of suing competitors over IP theft?


You're right—I didn't mean to suggest they've never sued competitors. Some companies are just known to be litigious—I've never put Apple in that bucket. (And maybe I have blinders on. It's certainly fair to blame me for being biased.)


Because Apple didn't sue Samsung over IP theft. They sued them over copyright infringement.



Copyright infringement is a sub-category of IP theft. Other types of IP theft include trademark infringement, and patent infringement.


Sure, I guess. But I think people reading this thread are drawing a line between "Copying the publicly-visible IP" and "Inducing employees to walk out with trade secrets in hand." No one at Samsung was facing prison time. People at OpenAI very well could.


I think XR would prefer your solution as well. Still I can understand young people’s frustration when we after years and years of knowing about climate change do so little and so few laws of this type are enacted.

But I agree that their strategy is lacking. It would probably be easier to get people in general to support it if it didn’t affect them directly, sadly.


I understand why people are frustrated with the current system in general. You wouldn't design it this way. We need more young politicians shaping the laws and more entrepreneurs improving society.


That can't happen, because political positions are basically hereditary. Do you know what happened to every other hereditary political system?


I call baloney. What percentage of the US Congress and governors, say, are people whose parents were in Congress and/or governors? I have no hard data, but my gut feel is less than 25%. That's basically not hereditary.

Anyone with hard data, step right up...


I get that it's a single case, but Darlene Graham did just take Lindsey Graham's spot, like, yesterday.


not literally parent-child hereditary but I mean the political class decides who succeeds itself
