<p>It is very important to have the time and freedom to be idle.<p>In our modern society, however, we hear the phrase "time is money". So, if you are idle, you are not making money. Instead of being idle, you should be busy. "business" is good.<p>I learn this play of words in Spanish. Idle in Spanish is "ocio". Business in Spanish is "negocio". Thus negocio is the combination of words "negación" and "ocio". The phrase "negación del ocio" translates as "idleness denial/negation".</p>

<p>Tangent to the topic: One of the great things about Go is that the Go team goal is to have a great developer experience. As a result, they try to bundle common third party libraries (mux, zap) into the standard library. For example, they offered an http server, but due to lacking features community packages offered convenience. The Go team used those libraries as a reference to what people wanted, and addrd a performant and simple http routing in the standard library[1].<p>From that link:<p>> We made these changes as part of our continuing effort to make Go a great language for building production systems. We studied many third-party web frameworks, extracted what we felt were the most used features, and integrated them into net/http. Then we validated our choices and improved our design by collaborating with the community in a GitHub discussion and a proposal issue. Adding these features to the standard library means one fewer dependency for many projects. But third-party web frameworks remain a fine choice for current users or programs with advanced routing needs.<p>[1]: <a href="https://go.dev/blog/routing-enhancements" rel="nofollow">https://go.dev/blog/routing-enhancements</a></p>

<p>Good question. I find law in general quite ambiguous and full of edge cases and exceptions.<p>My basic understanding is that self-determination is the right of a nation to choose their own way of government.<p>[1] Self-determination includes the right of a people of an existing State to choose freely their own political system and to pursue their own economic, social, and cultural development. As such it does not, in light of the current state of international law, impose on all States the duty to introduce or maintain a democratic form of government, but essentially refers to the principle of sovereign equality of States and the prohibition of intervention which are already part of international law<p>[1] <a href="https://opil.ouplaw.com/display/10.1093/law:epil/9780199231690/law-9780199231690-e873#law-9780199231690-e873-p-29" rel="nofollow">https://opil.ouplaw.com/display/10.1093/law:epil/97801992316...</a></p>

<p>Why it’s not similar at all?<p>I want to make an ajax request using jQuery. I look up an example in StackOverflow. I use a very similar code to the example given in the post and by not giving any attribution I just claim ownership.<p>Same with Spring in action books or looking up Java class references. Many times I look something up and use it as reference just tweaking the examples given.<p>Millions of programmers have done this.<p>LLMS in principle use the training data to generate an answer to the prompt, similar to the process I described.</p>

<p>Isn’t similar to looking up/copying code from stack overflow, Google or books? Use it as reference to write the code and claim ownership. My little understanding is that the whole copyright free ride for LLMS is because it is similar to the process of humans using content under copyright as reference to create something new and claim ownership.</p>

<p>I have a different point of view. This was a test to see if the AI could perform a specific task. Asking AI to draw a pelican riding a bike is another test. I find the experiment interesting because it proves that currently LLMs are not able to perform a simple task reliably for a long period of time.<p>If the journalist was not asking the right questions, or was too obvious the article was PR it’s another thing (I haven’t read WSJ’s piece, only the original post by Anthropic)</p>

<p>Interesting points! Maybe a better term is LLMs (BTW smart phones are not smart and people don’t seem to be confused). I agree with being dependent and sending so much data to those servers.

<p>I tried to reproduce the situation described in the post by Googling "ps/2 model 280". I refreshed the page about 15 times and gives a very similar answer every time. For example:<p><pre><code>    The IBM PS/2 Model 280 was a low-end PS/2 model, often associated with the earlier IBM PC/XT and PC/AT models.
    It featured an 80286 CPU, a smaller hard drive, and a proprietary 3.5-inch floppy drive. While it used ISA slots for expansion, its proprietary RAM and other components made it less attractive for retro computing compared to the Model 30 286

</code></pre>
I tried again after 10 minutes and I got the "The IBM PS/2 Model 280 was not a model in the original Personal System/2 family".<p>It seems the AI response is cached for a few minutes.<p>I tried in Kagi "ps/2 model 280?". This is the first response:<p>```<p>While a specific "PS/2 Model 280" is not definitively documented, here's what can be gathered:<p><pre><code>    - It seems that AI models sometimes make errors regarding the PS/2 Model 280, describing it as an ISA-based 286 system. 12
    - The IBM PS/2 (Personal System/2) was a line of personal computers from IBM, introduced in 1987 3.
    - PS/2 computers had two BIOSes: ABIOS (Advanced BIOS) and CBIOS (Compatible BIOS). 4
    - One source mentions "CHIPS/280" including undocumented IBM PS/2 Model 80 address recovery logic. 5
    - The PS/2 Model 30, released in 1987, used an Intel 8086 processor and had an 8-bit ISA bus. 6
    - The PS/2 Model 30 286 had a 10MHz 286 CPU and could have 2 MB of RAM. 7
    - The PS/2 Model 80 offered enhanced performance for commercial and compute-intensive tasks. 8

```<p>I waited a few minutes and this is the response now:<p>```<p>While information on the IBM PS/2 Model 280 is limited, here's what is available:<p><pre><code>    - There is mention of the PS/2 Model 280, with claims that it "was a significant step forward in IBM's personal computer line" 1. However, it's also noted that claims about the PS/2 Model 280 being an ISA-based 286 system may be inaccurate 2.

    - The IBM PS/2 series included a variety of models in different form factors like desktops, towers, all-in-ones, portables, laptops, and notebooks 3. Some notable models include:
        Model 30: Featured an Intel 8086 processor at 8 MHz and an 8-bit ISA bus 4.
        Model 80: A high-end desktop with a 32-bit Intel 386 processor, initially running at 16 MHz, housed in a tower case 5.

```<p>I find the way Kagi gives references superior to the way Google does. Anyway, in the second answer Kagi's AI started to get a bit confused by stating "it's also noted that claims about the PS/2 Model 280 being an ISA-based 286 system may be inaccurate" missing the conclusion of the post.</p>
