  • Most of what you're describing is just review bias. Reviews are usually only left by people who either had a very positive or a very negative experience. Strong opinions are also more memorable and tend to get more attention.

  • French laws don't recognize software patents so videolan doesn't either. This is likely a reference to vlc supporting h265 playback without verifying a license. These days most opensource software pretends that the h265 patents and licensing fees don't exist for convenience. I believe libavcodec is distributed with support enabled by default.

    Nearly every device with hardware accelerated h265 support has already had the license paid for, so there's not much point in enforcing it. Only large companies like Microsoft and Red Hat bother.

  • a thorough investigation is planned beforehand in order to find out how Huawei was able to produce an advanced smartphone so quickly without relying on global supply chains

    There's no way a country of 1 billion people which already manufactures most of the world's electronics could have possibly produced complex electronics.

  • It's mostly bias in the training data. Most people aren't posting mediocre images of themselves online so models rarely see that. Most are also finetuned to specifically avoid outputting that kind of stuff because people don't want it.

    Out of focus is easy for most base models but getting an average looking person is harder.

  • The paper suggests it was because of cost. The paper mainly focused on open models with public datasets as its basis, then attempted it on gpt3.5. They note that they didn't generate the full 1B tokens with 3.5 because it would have been too expensive. I assume they didn't test other proprietary models for the same reason. For Claude's cheapest model it would be over $5000, and bard api access isn't widely available yet.

  • Just introducing them to it is probably enough. Show them different desktop environments and applications to get them used to the idea of diverse interfaces and workflows. Just knowing that alternatives exist could help them break out of the Windows monoculture later. Enable all of the cool window effects.

  • Canada has actually been doing quite a lot of awareness in the past few years. There was the truth and reconciliation commission and there's a nationally recognized day. Indigenous education has also been integrated into school curriculums in some provinces.

    It's not a ton and can never make up for what happened, but it's far ahead of Australia who has done nothing from what I can tell.

  • Lenovo claimed in its lawsuit that it "has suffered, and continues to suffer, immediate and irreparable harm as a result of Defendants' past and continuing infringement"

    In its letter to the ITC, Lenovo argued no harm will befall US consumers if ASUS products are banned, given the Taiwanese company’s small share of the US PC market (2.9 percent in Q2 2023) means consumers will not be starved for alternatives.

    So their 3% market share is causing lenovo irreparable harm? What a joke.
