I suppose by this logic, if someone was pressured by their parents to get good grades and struggled, it’s possible that “getting a good grade” would have a negative connotation / emotions response for them.

Oddest analogy i can imagine making here.

I'm not a lawyer but even if it was, eg. a year's salary at the time she accepted it, is that really a fair price for a lifetime of silence?

That would be up to her, wouldn’t it?

And she signed it, so presumably it was for her.


Maybe? Is your argument that there is no fair price, or that it wasn’t enough? The former makes NDAs unenforceable.

Yes?

As a cynical person I assume all the frontier LLMs were trained on datasets that include every open source project, but as a thought experiment, if an LLM was trained on a dataset that included every open source project _execept_ chardet, do you think said LLM would still be able to easily implement something very similar?


There is no doubt in my mind that it could still do it.


As an aside, it’s crazy that Ray Ban would hitch their most valuable brand cachet to such a controversial wagon


Meta have a minority stake in Ray Ban and Oakley's parent company, EssilorLuxottica. The investment was largely to support development of future AI glasses. It does make me a little sad to see Wayfarers end up this way too.

Off topic but if anyone is looking for a nice web-GUI frontend for a locally-hosted transcription engine, Scriberr is nice

Yeah the first three paragraphs of the article really resonated strongly and then the fourth was an ad for mastodon, which is only slightly less bad IMHO.


You can get co-op/internship that requires a Top Secret clearance?


There are co-operatives in manufacturing which would need their staff to be security-cleared in order to win government contacts (such as assembling weapons). Perhaps this is what parent is referring to. Co-ops aren't just for groceries :)


In the Canadian university lingo, co-op refers to a (usually paid) internship that you complete as part of your degree. You usually have a couple co-op terms/semesters along with your traditional terms. For example, you may start your degree with two semesters of classes, then a semester of co-op, then one of classes, then another two co-ops, more classes, etc. until you complete the degree requirements. Degrees with a co-op requirement usually will make mention of it (e.g. Software Engineering with co-op).


Oh, that's really interesting. We have them in the UK too, but they're called placements rather than co-ops.


Yep. I worked on the control system for the Virginia class attack sub-marines for my co-op. Also got to ride around in a Seawolf class submarine.


That's pretty cool. I'm guessing you're American, not Canadian, right? I didn't realize American schools had co-ops; I thought they mostly/solely had internships.


didn't mattermost recently make some changes to their license that put a bunch of features behind a paywall?

I can sort of understand this. There are certain songs, eg. a song from my wedding, that hit like a (good) ton of bricks every time I hear them, but I wouldn't want to listen to it every day because I feel like I would have more and more banal experiences cumulatively associating with the song until the wedding feeling becomes just one of many and starts to lose its association.


chatGPT 5.2 is smarmy, condescending and rude. the new personality is really grating and what's worse it seems to have been applied to the "legacy" 5.1 and 5.0 models as well.
