To be clear, if you turn off a device's display when it's playing a video, it usually stops decoding the video stream from the container, because it knows the destination video framebuffer isn't visible. It's doing the same thing you're talking about—"stripping the audio track from the video to play separately"—just without writing down the result.

You can get the same effect without turning off your screen if you tell e.g. VLC to stream only the audio from a network video stream. All VLC will do, in that case, is to request only the audio segments of the stream, and not request any of the video segments.

Consider this another way: is a web browser infringing a website's copyright when it makes a "derivative work" of the page by blocking the ads on it?

Or, hopefully even clearer: is a CD player infringing the CD's copyright when it applies an EQ preset to the audio as it plays it?

There's a very fine point I'm trying to gesture at here—the point where something goes from being "the creation of an infringing derivative work" to "the way that a device which reproduces the work for the purpose of consumption, chooses to do that reproduction."
>After six months, I attended the international Esperanto conference in Seoul, Korea, and spoke only Esperanto for a few days. I was glad I was doing it, and somewhat glad I did it, but in hindsight maybe should have used that time to learn Mandarin or another language where I can communicate with people that don't speak English.

Esperanto is a language where you can communicate with people that don't speak English ;)

If you weren't already bilingual - the best part about Esperanto is it teaches you how to learn a second language by doing it. It also gets out of your way since, for Romantic-based languages, the grammar and vocabulary mostly stays out of your way and you can focus more on "actually learning" than on building vocab or remembering weird edge cases in the grammar. Your time spent learning Esperanto may have actually created a solid foundation to learning Mandarin, if that's what you desire to learn!

There are studies that learning Esperanto can aid in learning other languages [0], although many of them are quite dated. It seems many of the studies agree that unless you're already particularly adept at learning a new language - learning Esperanto will aid you in learning other languages.

Microsoft and Google have already mass marketed multiple iterations of ARM laptops (the latter to great success in certain spaces) but "2" is not much diversity. Power has remained an active player but not in the laptop/phone/mobile space (even still very niche in workstation).

RISC-V will bring much needed diversity to spaces currently dominated by two titans.
Personal thoughts, Esperanto is designed & spoken with notable allophony to help accommodate different regional usages. For example, the <r> in Esperanto can be pronounced allophonically as the "French R", "American R", "Spanish R", etc.

However, a lot of conlangers have noticed that there are a lot of consonant clusters and basic phonemes that don't seem to have nice analogues in many languages - like Esperanto's affricates, affricate & fricative clusters, etc.

On top of that, the language is phonemically regular in the sense that there are no natural-sounding phonemic irregularities that one might normally expect.

In my view, Esperanto sounds fine. It has it's own aesthetic. Though at the same time, I find that because a lot of Esperanto was designed without a global audience in mind, there are a lot of "approximations" to what Zamenhoff, the original creator of Esperanto, maybe had anticipated that the language would sound like.
GPUs have sort of plateaued except for the raytracing component. There are quite a few vendors, Mali from ARM, Adreno from Qualcomm, PowerVR from Imagination, NVIDIA's GeForce, AMD's Radeon, Intel's integrated stuff, and then there is a few more smaller players (what Matrox, Broadcom, etc.)

I think there is room for an open source straightforward GPU based on the standard principles. Although maybe there is patent licensing between all the parties that I am not aware of.
Booting could be an adventure. It helped tremendously to know that the LILO printed to the console at boot was itself a diagnostic, with the first 'L' indicating that the first-stage loader had been invoked from the MBR, and the 'I' that the second-stage loader was successfully invoked. Further error codes and behaviours generally indicated specific problems.

I'm having trouble finding diagnostic docs (understandably as LILO was deprecated over a decade ago), but the lilo(8) manpage has some details:

As for installing Linux in 1998: I'd first installed Red Hat out of a CDROM from a book, and trialed Debian for the first time using a downloaded Potato (2.2) boot image -- the last installer that fit on a single floppy as I recall.

Instructions for a chroot install based on that were published soon afterwards.
Let's be real, the Chinese have been stealing technology right and left for years. Losses number between $225 and $600 billion per year [0]. One in five companies has had its technology stolen [1].

Rust basically has this functionality. Whether a type is borrowed or not dictates what I can do with it. For example, I cannot remove items from a `Vec` with a shared &reference. Thus, without knowing which reference type is used in a trait method, I cannot write generic code; I don't know whether my function must take &T or T.

There might be a way around this limitation, but it makes figuring out who is supposed to free a resource hard to do.

The rust solution is to have different traits for different levels of ownership. For example, if I want to iterate over a vector of strings, I can get a Iterator<&str> without destroying the vector. If I'm willing to destroy it, I can get an Iterator<String>.

Or, you can actually implement a trait on a reference type[0] to convert a `self` argument to effectively `&self`. This is the recommended way to implement some conversions, using AsRef and/or Into[1].

2. Does SpaceX have a sudden pressing need for all the parts, and the debt obligations of SolarCity that have nothing to do with manufacturing solar panels (That is, 100% of the company?) SolarCity doesn't make any of their own panels, you know - they just install them on rooftops, and do financial engineering, and get bailed out by other people's money.

> Poor people in the US, the demographic being discussed here, all have access to free medical care at the same clinics middle class people use. This is partly paid for by the government from taxes and partly subsidized by the non-poor users of medical services.

This is simply not true. Maybe it was for you growing up where you lived, but I can assure you it isn't today in any part of the country I am familiar with. Our poor friends most certainly do not receive "free medical care at the same clinics middle class people use."

> GPUs have sort of plateaued except for the raytracing component

What? As far as I understood it, CPUs had plateaued outside of efficiencies, GPU power still follows Moore's. Generational benchmarks show big leaps in every new arch on userbenchmark, whereas CPUs from 7 or 8 years ago are only marginally slower (SC) than modern ones.
(Also not the parent) I've seen this in robotics; a lot of code in that space has been tested for a long time on x86 computers [^1], and only more recently been looked at on ARM.

Ahh... The 80/20 principle. I throw 80% of facts and provide 20% of opinion to tie these facts together in a way that I want.

I mean.... The article literally acknowledges that an average Spanish person has a higher standard of life, than the bottom 20% of household income families in US. But somehow the same people manage to be wealthier?!?!?!

Also - the name Just Facts is factually untrue, because the author spends more than half of the article on opinions.

- Oh, I always forget that those statistics are computed differently in US. In US this is family income, while most other places it's personal income.
It's better than the status quo, and reduces the lost taxes to a far smaller number of units (every corporation and person vs some older people). Solutions don't have to be %100, especially when you can stack them to get to a target revenue number.

It also allows older people to move without 'losing' a prop 13 tax benefit, since they can retain more value of the large house they don't need anymore with a smaller lower maintenance condo.
If anyone happens upon this and finds it useful, I've created a public repository that demonstrates how to auto deploy if unit tests pass: https://github.com/ZeroCool2u/Python-Deploy-To-Google-App-En...
More like "Huawei seeks to survive in the future in spite of the US squeezing them. They want to believe these other chips will let them do that."

I don't understand the tech well enough to know how much of a fairy tale or hope and a prayer strategy this is. But calling it "seeks independence" is some incredibly positive spin which makes me suspicious of the claims.

If these other chips are so good, wouldn't you go ahead and migrate to them for the actual benefits rather than researching them as a backup plan?

I've been installing Debian since rougly 1998, with separate partitions for most major filesystems. My last /usr partition was 20 GB, and that's no longer sufficient for a generous (though far from complete) Debian install.

The last package count I made of unstable was over 70,000 distinct software packages. I think stable is well below that, though probably north of 40k.

A "full" installation is not possible as many packages mutually conflict. Though it wouldn't surprise me if a maximal install of software alone would be well over 100 GB.

Much of the growth has come in support libraries, especially internationalisation. For a while there was a package which would go through, post-install, and remove unneeded translations and charactersets.
Musk wasn't even the founder of Tesla, he rewrote the history in order to call himself that.

Requiring US companies to not do business with them? That's being done already.

At this point, they just have to ride out the US/China trade war and then when things are being negotiated, I imagine a "turn a blind eye" to Huawei is going to be given. They're gimped in some ways, but in others they've probably never been more free.
Remote Coding
I've recently gotten really interested in online IDE's and remote coding. But, I noticed that these tools (eg. Coder, Codeanywhere etc.) are nowhere as ubiquitous or as widely used as I would have thought. Any insights as to why developers still haven't moved to coding online exclusively?
As laid out in the article, at the time of the merger, Solar City was indeed trying to get into manufacturing solar panels. That it hasn't worked out doesn't mean that the attempt doesn't fit within SpaceX's goals.

I'm sure that the Boring Company also has investments from SpaceX.

As to mine, refine, etc, he has generally tried to go down to things that he can get off of mass markets. The thing he avoids is having a custom part only intended for him which he is dependent upon another company for.
Pretty unsurprising really - sure, hating on Musk is popular, but it's mostly a reaction to the fawning uncritical gaze most people give him, and the way he's portrayed as this genius who is amazing at executing.

Elon Musk is great at promising stuff, and then terrible at executing. For every promise he fulfills there are 20 that he doesn't. But sure, the guy who flies private everywhere and shitposts more than I do is "working 100 hour weeks" and "cares for the environment."
Good read, but there is a huge elephant in the room.

In many cases vulnerabilities come from complex, messy, disorganized, or just poorly written code. Assuming that the "fuzzification" techniques are implemented by the same developer who wrote the original vulnerable code; how can we be sure that he isn't introducing MORE bugs in his fuzzified version?

For example, if you have a product which is NOT currently vulnerable and add BranchTrap to it the likelihood that you're creating a vulnerability where one never existed before is insanely high.

So you essentially created a code path for the fuzzer that never would have existed if you never tried to fool the fuzzer in the first place.

Assuming two binaries, an original and a "fuzzified" version and an unlimited amount of time: Which version would have overall More vulnerable code paths? Probably the fuzzified version simply because it has more code. The point of producing two binaries is that one can be analyzed quickly and one slowly. But if your original code doesn't contain a vulnerability and the fuzzed version does your trusted party doesn't mean anything.

This is not insignificant either. Time to fuzz an application no longer matters for the attacker. If he grinds on it long enough he will have a vuln that the authors aren't aware of (and can't/won't even find now). It doesn't matter if it takes 2 years to find a vuln in your code... Someone will do it.

This analogy doesn't work, because different laws apply to physical goods.

I can also scan the pages and print them into a new softback. I can even just retype the story and print it into a new softback.
