@ytc1 @DenOfEarth @aka_pugs I know.

And espechally in #ScientificComputing a lot of researchers loved working with #SunMicrosystems and when #Oracle took over that relationship got sour'd instantly due to #Oracle #CEO #LarryEllison...

-> infosec.space/@kkarhan/1146825

One of the big successes of #Sun was that they basically declared a unilateral "ceasefire" in terms of #IP & #Patents re: #OpenSource. Whereas Oracle didn't seem willing to honour that.

  • Without that cooperative atmosphere we saw #OpenOffice devs literally forking off into @libreoffice and projects like #illumos and @openzfs scramble to save what was OpenSource'd and also rescue that.

Obviously #Linux with it's #GPLv2only-Kernel and most of it's Userland could not get 'closed-sourced' like #OpenSolaris which instantly got stomped out by Oracle as they wanted to sqeeze #Solaris for profits and milk their clients in typical Oracle fashion...

Now granted, I do know someone who for most of their life made their money dealing with the intricacies of setting up #postfix, #sendmail and #courier #MailServers on Solaris and if I ask said person about that they give me a kilometer stare, so OFC like a #SysV - #Unix systems Solaris and #SunOS really are one of the reasons #WindowsNT won the "#WorkstationWar" and why - if anyone - #Apple won the last "#UnixWar"...

  • Still I do am sad that I declined that #sysadmin position at a leading research center I'm not at liberty to name and I do know there's OFC still some critical infrastructure running even older Solaris servers...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@DenOfEarth@mas.to @aka_pugs@mastodon.social I know. Cade in point, #OpenSolaris did have avid users just below that range, and a lot of #ScientificComputing used it, as they previously used #IRIX. And #Sun being #OpenSourve-friendly was the right direction...

"Two dangerous bills have been reintroduced in Congress that would reverse over a decade of progress in fighting patent trolls and making the patent system more balanced. The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA) and the PREVAIL Act would each cause significant harm on their own. Together, they form a one-two punch—making it easier to obtain vague and overly broad patents, while making it harder for the public to challenge them.

These bills don’t just share bad ideas—they share sponsors, a coordinated rollout, and backing from many of the same lobbying groups. Congress should reject both."

"Search With Stateful Chat" patent (Cf. patents.google.com/patent/US20 ) - appears to describe the Gemini app for smartphones.

"Method for Text Ranking with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. patents.google.com/patent/US20 ) - documents an experimental process described in this research paper titled "Large Language Models are Effective Text Rankers with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. arxiv.org/pdf/2306.17563 ). There is no indication this was introduced into a live agentic system like Gemini.

"User Embedding Models for Personalization of Sequence Processing Models" (Cf. patents.google.com/patent/WO20 ) - documents an experimental process for improving recommender (sub-)systems (like movie searches) that incorporate large language models. The process is described in this research paper titled "User Embedding Model for Personalized Language Prompting" (Cf. arxiv.org/pdf/2401.04858 ).

"Systems and methods for prompt-based query generation for diverse retrieval" (Cf. patents.google.com/patent/WO20 ) - updates a 2022 patent for a process named PROMPTAGATOR that generates queries more efficiently based on a small number of examples, as described in this research paper titled "Promptagator - Few-shot Dense Retrieval from 8 Examples" (Cf. arxiv.org/pdf/2209.11755 ). This could be used to generate query fan-outs (but query fan-out has been used in multiple systems at least since the 1990s, so there are many implementations).

"Instruction Fine-Tuning Machine-Learned Models Using Intermediate Reasoning Steps" (Cf. patents.google.com/patent/US20 ) - documents an older method for fine-tuning instructions submitted to LLMs, as described in this 2022 research paper titled "Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models" (Cf. jmlr.org/papers/volume25/23-08 ). The work has been superseded by this paper titled "Mixture-of-Experts Meets Instruction Tuning: A Winning Combination for Large Language Models" (Cf. arxiv.org/pdf/2305.14705 ).

This is the AI Overviews patent, titled "Generative summaries for search results" (Cf. patents.google.com/patent/US11 )

patents.google.comUS20240289407A1 - Search with stateful chat - Google Patents Implementations are described herein for augmenting a traditional search session with stateful chat—via what will be referred to as a “generative companion”—to facilitate more interactive searching. In various implementations, a query may be received, e.g., from a client device operated by a user. Contextual information associated with the user or the client device may be retrieved. Generative model (GM) output may be generated based on processing, using a generative model, data indicative of the query and the contextual information. Synthetic queries may be generated using the GM output, and search result documents (SRDs) may be selected. State data indicative of: the query, contextual information, one or more of the synthetic queries, and the set of search result documents, may be processed to identify a classification of the query. Based on the classification downstream GM(s) may be selected and used to generate one or more additional GM outputs.

Can we please get rid of that lie made by capitalists that without the drive to make money, without unreasonable IP protections and patent laws that nobody would create anything, innovate anything?

I have yet to see some C-level asshole to create anything. People in creative fields in academics, specialists that wanna work in specific fields, that have an interest create things. And all without the outlook of making billions.

How To Read Patents For SEO

Seems like everyone wants to be the first to read some fantastic patent and discover the secret to Google's algorithms. If only it worked that way. If only it were that easy. If only some people weren't consumed by hubris, announcing great discoveries every few months. Technology companies love their patents. Many of them award bonuses, grants, and special recognition to employees who contribute to patents.
