Reassuring to see this approach coming out consistently. I’ve been doing the same for high volume data pipelines, extracting the deterministic actions from markdown instructions and leaving the LLM to do the analysis/act as the fluid coupling between deterministic parts.
Over time you can refine this to be more and more codified, handle edge cases with agents/LLMs then turn them into first class deterministic branches too.
This pattern seems to be emerging everywhere, the chain of thought and intent capture to improve it seems to be the next big thing
Of course, we just adopted Material for MK Docs about 12 months ago.
I’ve been looking at Zensical https://zensical.org/ as a replacement, but I couldn’t fully reason why they went off and did their own thing. I wasn’t sure if it was a money grab or what their motivation was.
This article provided the context I needed to understand the why. We’re going to definitely give them a shot.
For me it is less about credit and more about access. Stack overflow is public and freely available - I’ll give answers for the benefit of the community. ChatGPT is a product, it’s locked behind accounts and limited unless you’re paying.
They changed the deal on their end? I’ll delete my posts.
But your answers will still be available on SO, unless you remove them. Your answers were free and publicly available until you removed them. Making them also available to paying customers of chat-gpt does not change that at all.
In fact, chat gpt will probably still be able to answer those questions, so you removing your answers actually only removes them from the public, thus forcing people to use a paid product instead.
You had one goal, and your actions achieved the opposite.
Siuan Sanche's law of unintended consequences ought to be taught in primary school. Unfortunately it isn't.
Even with controls on the device companies act in bad faith and take liberties with your privacy - I was going to the beach yesterday and my friend shared his location through messenger, to view it I had to share my precise location too - why? You can deny the permission all you want but that won’t stop them blocking features unless you tick the box, even if it is unrelated or not needed for the functionality.
That's a clear example of a bad technical control, whose fix can still be implemented in iOS without the App Store. It's pretty trivial to add a feature to iOS that allows you to fake your location - there was an Android fork that had that feature for a while a few years ago.

Many permissions (camera, mic, location, etc.) are trivial for the OS to spoof and don't require app store vetting.
I think the archive of an article is more preservation of history and maintaining records of events which often disappear if not archived. The number of threads referencing articles which are defunct is always increasing. A book or movie or original content on the other hand will continue to hold its own commercial value so reproducing it is more akin to an actual loss for the license holder.
Definitely a grey area when that content is then used to train models though.
I would say 9 times out of 10 it's to get around the paywall and absolutely not some higher moralistic preservation of history.
And everything is a grey area, determining the line is the existential purpose of these court cases.
We've been here before with hyperlinking, then indexing and then linking with previews and the Canadian Facebook stuff but I think this has more standing.
If I buy a book, I get a work of literature. But if I buy a news subscription I get a series of facts riddled with advertisements. I accept the former, but I oppose the latter. I suspect I'm not the only one.
both are just the price you want to pay. There are various state news outlets that you're probably already paying for - npr, pbs, bbc, cncb depending on your region
There are no resources like this that exist in NZ. Bringing server hosting here is super important for data sovereignty and modernising our government tech, and makes it easier for overseas businesses to bring servers here. I’m excited for the possibility of game servers I’ll have less than 80ms to.
Really? I don’t think this is at all similar to a car safety recall. That’s more like trying to issue a recall for a car because people can smash it’s windows and break in.
yeah of course it's an analogy. But by adding liability we'll get more recalls (patches) done. Vendors will stop playing FUD and will focus on the real cost of their security flaws.
And yes some will still not do patches, just like some car vendors are considered less trustworthy.
But at least the risk of suit will loom over their heads.
But the parent's point is that's still putting the liability on the vendor rather than the actual criminal. Perhaps it's more like if a car is sold without an immobilizer or an alarm, holding the manufacturer liable if it's stolen. But if that kind of fails, because it's pretty simple to mandate a handful of security additions to cars, whereas software is orders of magnitude more varied and complex. It would be hard for any vendor, let alone small companies, to prove they'd followed every conceivable best practice. Might even be impossible, as some likely conflict. And if you try to codify exactly what security practices should be followed, what do you do when those practices become obsolete?
Yeah, I think it's just a fault in the analogy and in part demonstrating why reason from analogy is faulty.
My point is this If vendors were liable (at least in part) for security faults in their products, then they would be more diligent about closing those gaps.
Yeah, and in principle I agree. It's just tough to imagine how exactly you'd regulate that in practice without doing a lot of unintended harm along the way, especially to (potential) small vendors.
