Vacuum tubes typically have an internal pressure of less than 0.001 atm, sometimes much less.
Any seal that can withstand a pressure difference of 0.001 atm to 1 atm from the outside can almost certainly withstand a difference of 0.001 atm to 0 atm from the inside.
Reading in between the lines it seems most of the innovation is managing the regulations and privacy concerns of large institutions who want to use shared AI models.
> offers hospitals its experience in managing huge amounts of data in a secure and decentralized way, which is key to ensuring the privacy and security of the private patient information used to feed the algorithm. [...] uses a system to process data locally without sending it to central storage. This helps protect privacy and make better use of resources when different hospitals work together to create reliable AI-based models
Which probably makes sense why CERN developed some expertise in this area.
The outcome of the times. Likewise it is far more likely harmless AI (like adding dumb AI stuff to a family video) will have stronger suppression by current power systems than society suppressing critics of generative AI. Mostly because the latter boils down to cultural preferences and protectionism, not the real sort of harm that would build collective mass to threaten progress. And the former because people are heavily motivated these days by outrage and abstract future threats, well before the tangible evidence exists of widespread harm.
It's an ancient variation of a tree species already still living in multiple counties. Probably not much to glean beyond that especially because it didn't flower or have any special attributes based on their tests over the 14yrs it's been growing
> AUTOMATTIC INC., a Delaware corporation; and MATTHEW CHARLES MULLENWEG, an individual
Considering he controls Automattic as chairman and probably most voting rights he could probably make that choice himself. Besides maybe some legal filings he has to do personally paperwork-wise, maybe with his own lawyer.
It's up to you how much effort you spend defending yourself. As long as the board/investors aren't too bothered by it.
Ignoring the executive drama (on both sides) it is in bad taste to build WPEngine off an Open Source project and barely contribute back to it.
It's probably a case where their version is so heavily customized they don't spend much time on the fundamentals. But still. I wonder if that had a petty rationale as well. Relationships are important in business.
WPEngine contributed a lot to WordPress. It was, in fact, one of the biggest sponsors of the conference it was just banned from participating in. It also wrote the most popular plugin.
When Matt says "contribute" he means monetarily. Probably (speculation) because his company is about to be bankrupt without finding a way to get more money.
Matt shouldn't have made his thing "open source" [1], just like Elastic and other vendors shouldn't have allowed Amazon to set up shop and steal their work.
Unrelated organizations coming in, soaking up all the profit, and not contributing back is horrible. "Open source" needs to be amended to prevent this.
Something like MAU, MRR, or market% seems like a healthy way to limit big time corporations from taking over.
Correct what exactly? Did they release this as their final product as the first milestone?
From what I gleaned the company has barely started and the founder recently(?) quit his job. They raised money on an idea and forked another project, changed the branding, and used it as the base to build a prototype
That doesn't mean this is the end product that YC invested in.
Lots of companies created MVPs this way before using funding and their new runway of time to do it properly.
If they do release it as the end product with little effort that’s basically fraud
