Companies are collections of people, and these companies keep losing key developers to the others, I think this is why the clusters happen. OpenAI is now resorting to giving million dollar bonuses to every employee just to try to keep them long term.

I was a bit confused as to what "Cognition" was, but they're the makers of Devin (edit: that just got added to the title, for reference), so that makes sense. Just buying the competition, the only surprise is they had more money to spend than the big ones.

I think it's a bit absurd to care about trademark infringement of a social activity like this, but it should have been "Advent of AI Code" at least.

Personally I didn't find the movie boring overall, but there were around five too many romance scenes between Driver and Emmanuel's characters that didn't seem to move anything forward, the kind of scenes that usually get cut for redundancy.

I'm sorry if this is strawmanning you, but I feel you're basically saying it's in the public's interest to give more power to Intellectual Property law, which historically hasn't worked out so well for the public.

The main issue was that Meta quickly took down the first announcement, and the only remaining working submission was the information-sparse HuggingFace link. By the time the other links were back up, it was too late. Perfect opportunity for a rescue.

Once the data is "compressed" into the model it cannot be easily removed without starting the training over.

A bit of a shame about the exploit applying to THUG PRO. The mod is played to this day, since the more competitive side of the Tony Hawk franchise has been dead for almost twenty years (with the exception of the THPS1+2 remake, which was but a blip in the scene).

The mod itself is over 10 years old now, and I think the original developers are gone, explaining why no one was interested in fixing it when Ryan reported it. But this means that now the mod is unusable, no one is going to want to risk a full privilege exploit taking over their PC.

Hopefully this article reaches someone who's a bit more interested in patching the mod.

If you check the issues, you'll learn this is not a supported project anymore (and honestly, it hardly worked even back then).

Two big issues with Archive.org are that 1. it's a single point of failure, they don't encourage mirror sites to emerge, and 2. they keep using the "brand" to fight unwinnable battles like hosting books they don't own online, risking the whole endeavor.

I still appreciate it, but just imagine if it goes down due to a lawsuit. Now that Google no longer shows cached results, an entire historical record would be gone.

I think quality is fine, the issue is the strings, having "Legendary Wire" in a serious factory game.

Denuvo mostly works. Allegedly they have a custom approach to each new game, so cracks can take months to appear, with some unpopular games never having been cracked at all. The price is lowered performance, of course.
