The year 2021 is to wordfreq what 1945 was to carbon carbon-14 dating.
I guess the same way the scientists had to account for the bomb pulse in order to provide accurate carbon-14 dating, wordfreq would need a magic way to account for non human content.
Saying magic, because unfortunately it was much easier to detect nuclear testing in the atmosphere than to it will be to detect AI-generated content.
Knowing all the efforts that the US government has had to devote in order to push Apple to bring those jobs home, for other countries that do not have as much muscle as in financial and industrial leverage, their industrial future must look quite bleak.
It's really not about the jobs, it's about national security. The US needs the ability to fabricate chips on its own soil where the threat of China invading Taiwan isnt a concern.
Great. I hope they find a real name to their product, that would not be an acronym.
We can critic Google as much as we want, but at least it's a bit less weird to say "Hey Gemini" compared to "Hey GPT", when you know that GPT is actually something between an abstract concept and a code implementation.
In principle an acronym (initialism really) can be an original name, e.g. IBM, BMW. This is common. This trademark seems to have been denied because it's not "original" enough. It's too generic a term.
It's not so much that it's too generic, but that the term has been broadly used by pretty much everyone talking about transformer-based models for the past years at this point. The term has entered public domain before they even tried to register it.
AFAIK trademarks are granted for products. Microsoft was granted that trademark for software. If you opened a window shop and tried to trademark windows you'd fail since it is an existing term in that category. Similarly GPT is a term used in the filed of AI and thus would not be allowed to be trademarked in that category. I'm sure a window shop could trademark GPT for their line of windows.
Microsoft once sued a teenager for trademark infringement for having a website called MikeRoweSoft.com. The kid's name was Mike Rowe and he lost the website in a settlement.
In this example, the company is called Bayerische Motoren Werke AG. BMW is one of their trademarks.
See also how there's a company named 'Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG' with a brand called 'Porsche'. But nowadays that company is just a subsidiary of Volkswagen, and they could restructure to make the Porsche AG disappear, without doing any changes to the brand.
But they're not examples of mundane descriptions. BMW is much closer than Volkswagen is -- I doubt anyone has ever actually referred to a car as being "a car of the people" -- but "Bavarian motor works" is not a phrase that you'd expect anyone to use descriptively unless there was an appropriate referent, a set of car factories in Bavaria whose company affiliation was obscure or irrelevant. (Perhaps because there are many of them affiliated with different companies, but we're talking about things they have in common such as a demand for steel or technicians.)
Had that been the case, and had the phrase been in common use, it would have been impossible to trademark "Bavarian Motor Works" to refer to part of the Bavarian motor works. But reality is different.
All those are available in Rally, which is OSS.
It is great that WAYF offers something completely bare bone without the features you are mentioning, IMHO.
This just looks like the "Event Bus" [1] [2] [3] pattern, this is not the one from the React world if you were thinking about that. Hooks here are just the following, the "Hook" is just a collection of event handlers.
type Handler[T any] func(e T) error
type handlerPair[T any] struct {
id string
handler Handler[T]
}
type Hook[T any] struct {
mux sync.RWMutex
handlers []*handlerPair[T]
}
It's very useful when you want to make an easily extensible library/framework/application, as you can see in pocketbase/core/app.go you can register handlers for various things that can happen.
