Not unless that newspaper is "more than one-third sexual material".
So pornhub needs to see how many terabytes of content they host and use AI to generate 2x more terabytes of cat pictures and add them to a compliance tab on their home page now?
Seems annoying but not impossible to do.
Edit: I am happy to build a cat pic to porn ratio audit company if anyone is interested. I want to participate in the funniest regulatory process this will create

According to the readme https://github.com/nasa/NDAS, the pre-requisite are
<pre><code> LabVIEW 2020+ Windows 10+ Git And tortoise git (for its embedded diff tool) </code></pre>I'm a big fan of tortoise and mainly its revision graph. I must say their 3-way merge tool is the best free software on Windows the only competing one, but less good, is p4merge, and it's closed source.
Also Tortoise is one of the big reasons I did not switch to MacOS at work (yes, the revision graph, and no, there are no almost-as-good-or-better alternative on Linux/MacOS, but please prove me wrong) .
TIL about LabVIEW and the G programming language. Also it breaks my mental image of NASA people working on Linux or MacOS.

A long time ago, I used Araxis Merge[1] and I can strongly recommend it[2]. It was specifically better than both tortoise git and p4merge, after having used both of those options personally.

[2] Assuming you're stuck in a windows development environment - there might be better tools available if you're not on Windows.
This is really cool.
But I want to talk about how much free headspace Graham Hancock has managed to acquire. I thought about him the moment I saw this title. I'm sure some of you came to the comments looking for his name too.
OpenAI should release its frontier model as an open-weight model. There are already open-weight models that match OpenAI's best models (at the time of their release), so the idea that OpenAI would lose something by making its frontier models open-weight doesn't hold up. With an open-weight model, they would instantly kill any proprietary competitor, similar to what Google did to all its competitors with Android.
IMO, OpenAI should focus on tooling, infra, and setting standards for AI apps and profit from those. MCP is what "custom GPT" is supposed to be; OpenAI lost that battle, among many others.
Gopher started as a freely available protocol but later changed its licensing terms, requiring fees to be paid—similar to what OpenAI has done. We know how Gopher ended up: today, most people haven't even heard of it, despite its adoption at the beginning.

Did I miss something? Do we now have o1-pro level performance in an open source model?

For someone who’s interested in getting into any *BSD, which should I go with? OpenBSD or FreeBSD?
I use OpenBSD. I love it, but I recommend reading warnings on the label.
I would say FreeBSD is somewhat like Ubuntu is to Linux - easy to get setup, works for more people.
There isn’t anything like OpenBSD in the Linux world - where the primary focus is system correctness, even at the cost of user convenience at times.
I wasted an inordinate amount of time trying to fight Apple Vision Pro to get it to read my Yubikey.
I failed. My apple vision pro was rendered useless because of a single passkey.
Dumbest tech ever.
Yes. Auditable in this context means something that can be examined by a financial auditor. Auditors understand and can check through Excel but they don't understand code. It is not on the auditor to guarantee that what they are looking at has no errors. Their statements on their audit reports say as much.
In my old job, we had to switch away from our working but ancient Information System to SAP for similar reasons.
> It is not on the auditor to guarantee that what they are looking at has no errors.
Um, what then is the point of an auditor?
For those of us out of the loop, can someone please share a summary of the drama?
