Photographers don't automatically gain copyright of a photo by virtue of it being a photo - they gain copyright when they create what the law considers a copyrightable work.

In practice, most photos involve creating or capturing a scene in a unique or new way, and this adds something new sufficient to make the photograph a new work and hence subject to copyright.

The act of photographing a public domain painting in such a way that you just reproduce the painting and add nothing new, however, doesn't necessarily create a new work - it may instead count as a reproduction of that original work and hence subject to the original work's copyright, as no new copyrightable material is added.

There is a bit of a grey area in that if I say, arrange a whole bunch of public domain art in a particular way and photograph it, I could quite reasonably argue that my arrangement itself consists of a work and so my photographs are subject to copyright. Similarly if I parody or otherwise transform a public domain work, I can assert that my work is copyrightable as it is transformative. This 3D scan doesn't fall into this area however since the scan was clearly intended to reproduce the original work, as opposed to create a new copyrightable work.
I am the author of these photos... If you have a sample of rotten disk - you can send it to me and I'll take a look. Contacts are on the site.

Now my hardware is better, CD and DVD are easy to observe without physical damage. I also can see data on BD disk, but it is on the border of what is possible.

I also tried to decode data from the image, but it will require more collaboration.
do most of the hyped papers have peer review even? the field moves too fast for that, press releases are issued as soon as the first draft is on arxiv.
Each table has transaction file (_txn). This file has navigation pointers for both reader and writer. We map this file into memory and read and write this memory atomically without blocking. Data that is written but not referred to from _txn is ignored by reader. On other hand _txn writer related information has "todo" list that is populated before writer attempts structure changes or truncate. When something writer does fails, it will attempt to undo that. When undo also fails it will report error and will re-attempt repair on restart.

A good example of that would be deleting a column or partition on Windows. Writer will communicate to reader via _txn file that structure version is changed and attempt to delete files via todo system. So reader will pick up such change even if writer fails to delete files. Hope this all makes sense!
Hmmm, how would you do that? Generate random username, try all networks, if it's free an all of them add it to a list, rinse and repeat?
Because no matter the effort it's ultimately a factual compilation, a pure work of collecting objective facts about something in the public domain with no creativity at all. Photography in general (with the exception of an exact mechanical copy attempt), precisely because it's distilling a 4D world into a 2D image, necessarily involves subjective choice in terms of framing, timing, etc. For any given event there are a limitless number of ways and specific timings/positions to try to capture it in photographs. A 3D scan of an object though is objective, an effort to put together as exact a total record of it as technologically feasible. It might be very expensive and take a lot of work, but that's not good enough.

In the USA at least, "sweat of the brow" doctrine does not legally exist for copyright. Ie., it doesn't matter at all how much work someone put into something not copyrightable, it's still not copyrightable. "Mere collections of facts" fall under this, with a classic example being a phonebook. It might (at least historically) have been an enormous amount of work to accurately collect, compile and maintain a phone listing for an area. But it would have no copyright protection. A unique and creative presentation could, but not something basic and expected like alphabetical or numeric order. This has been definitively settled by the Supreme Court.

A 3D point cloud is a mere collection of facts about the geometry of an object. If the object is already public domain that's that. You could certainly use that data to make something creative and copyrightable in a large variety of ways though.
Couriers were great, but not as good as Hayes. Of course the Hayes modems cost twice as much so everyone bought the USR modems instead.
How do more performant editors achieve syntax highlighting?
You were downvoted but I think it’s a good question.

One argument would be that photography involves many creative choices regarding angle, lighting, and so forth, so there’s millions of photos of the Grand Canyon and they’re all different, whereas every 3D scan of the bust would be basically the same except maybe for resolution.

On the other hand, consider maps, or to get really specific, topographic maps. Most people (apart from those against copyright in general) would say you should retain copyright on a topographic map you’ve made of the Grand Canyon, even though that’s really just a 3D scan.
I don't think I know anybody non-technical (and not that many technical people either) that has any idea what these ".com", ".net", ".org" things are or that they can mean different things.

Most people don't even know that there was an illusion that's supposed to be shattered
One of the biggest electronic stores in Norway knew their web page couldn't handle the load, so they had some kind of queue system im front. When I checked, my spot in line was estimated to have to wait more than an hour. They got a lot of flak for it, all other web shops worked fine.
I would call it "being different" in the age of "crowds' standards". Really, what people need to realize is that everybody is different from others in at least one respect. Striving to become an "alpha" is like trying to win other peoples' game: the rules of this game are written by other people and there are already some who are far ahead of the others in this game. As a result, chances of winning in other peoples' game are pretty slim. That's why it pays to be different, in an age that promotes some widely accepted standard as being the right one (the "alpha").
For me, no GPU acceleration. This makes it extremely laggy and choppy (e.g., line tearing when scrolling... but not like brief; the tear is persistent until you move the screen and it re-renders that bit of the canvas). And it's at the utopian extreme end of their roadmap last I checked.

The two scans would only be identical if you were using the same equipment with the same algorithms. I don't see it as the same as copying a DVD.
Or to massively decentralize so that you need to bring down the entire network.
Let us remember that AI is at the center of the cloud wars. Google, Amazon and Microsoft while they produce ton of research, their sales teams need to market those R&D investment to get customers interested in their tech. We are at a stage that AI is still a buzz word for many companies, once we evolve and deploy more and more of AI cases, we will see less and less articles promising things that can't be implemented
199 is between 195 and 206 proving that it is a valid answer.

Try the same trick with this modified problem:

Fifty consecutive positive integers are written on a board. Maria erases one of the numbers. If the sum of the remaining numbers is 2009, what number did Maria erase?

You'll find that it does not work. The trick you did relies on the specific problem as stated. It is not true in general.

2009 / 49 = 41. 41 * 50 = 2050.

2050 is not the sum of the numbers 17..66, 2075 is, and subtracting 2009 from 2050 just gets you 41 again, which is not the correct answer.

It's the bullshit process by which people get funding. Make something that has some potentially interesting engineering value, hype it up to hell and back, and funding agencies, investors etc. are more likely to back you. Probably this wasn't everyone's first plan all along, but when people who make a marginally better hot-dog / not-hot-dog classifier put so much spin on it, then everyone else has to just to remain visible. Moreover, people have to publish findings before their competition does, meaning sloppier and less interesting work. It's the snake-eating-its-own-tail plague that impacts so much of academia.

The cost and hassle of storing 1080p back when it first became common is about on-part with the cost of handling 4K content today. Lots of folks have 100-1000Mbit connections, and storage capacities have increased to keep pace.

Although, anecdotally, after setting everything up for 4K I've been underwhelmed by the content - Modern film CGI at 4k looks garbage, the kind of fidelity leap we saw with HD isn't nearly as ubiquitous. On tbat basis, 4k's not 'must have'.
I think "photographers deserve copyright to reproductions of public-domain objects" is also quite controversial, and the law in various countries varies on it. (in Germany, as far as I know the current practice is indeed that they do, but this is also widely criticized)

Since Airmash was released on HN, this is as good as any place to put out a message for the original developer -- we love your work! Is there any chance we could continue it more officially in your stead?

There have been a ton of ideas floating around in-game since almost forever. I think by now most of them appear at https://github.com/airmash-refugees/game-ideas/issues .

The biggest issue is that no free frontend exists, and even if it did, some aspects of reimplementing both backend and frontend have interesting problems, such as in the functions to calculate trajectories and the data they use. There is no way to replicate the original Airmash without preserving almost exactly this code. It would be amazing to receive your blessing at least to borrow these aspects.

Interesting - I definitely have only a surface understanding of the go community and had not respected that the community embraces the game’s “requirement to grind the combinations”.

I had always thought there was some element of recognizing its “impossible to ever even remotely approach a true grinding of the combinations” for go — and that somehow players _did something else_ effectively when they played at a high level. It’s that “doing something else effectively” that the defeat of humanity by go algorithms challenges ...

Would be super Interesting if there could ever be a reversal which might allow humanity to beat go algorithms once again ... is there any evidence from the strategies that the go community has learned by analyzing the new go algorithms that this could be possible? Or is there just more and more evidence over time than humans will never be able to compete effectively at go again?
It wasn't a surprise for me in the sense that I was already suspicious of this behaviour. I made this video as a proof. The problem is that if a product feature is being marketed as "incognito", it is inherently meant to wipe off all the session information for the duration of use. Youtube not respecting the choice of a user to go private as part of it's own provided feature is extremely misleading. Not sure if this is violating their own privacy terms or not.

Hello everyone,

Freshlytics is a self-hosted open-source privacy-friendly analytics software.

You can use it to learn more about your users in terms of visited urls, referrers and browsers used without invading the users privacy.

It doesn't use cookies and doesn't collect PII. It doesn't even store event level data - only aggregate data for the whole day organised by different dimensions. That is, after an event is ingested by the system it's grouped with all other events sent by other visitors - so you can't view the events just for a visitor or a visitor's browser etc. While this limits what metrics can be collected, I felt that there might be a good portion of websites on the internet who don't need these invasive metrics.

It's built using Typescript (React/Express) and uses PipelineDB for storage. All the reports are pre-defined (not adhoc) so I felt this is a good use case for PipelineDB's continuous views.

Good article, but it overstates its case.

>In 1966, the MIT AI lab famously assigned Gerald Sussman the problem of solving vision in a summer; as we all know, machine vision still hasn't been solved over five decades later.

It certainly took five extra decades, but it would be a massive shift of goalposts to say the problem of vision hasn't been sufficiently solved today.

>In November 2016, in the pages of Harvard Business Review, Andrew Ng, another well-known figure in deep learning, wrote that “If a typical person can do a mental task with less than one second of thought, we can probably automate it using AI either now or in the near future.” A more realistic appraisal is that whether or not something can be automated depends very much on the nature of the problem, and the data that can be gathered, and the relation between the two. For closed-end problems like board games, in which a massive amount of data can be gathered through simulation, Ng’s claim has proven prophetic; in open-ended problems, like conversational understanding, which cannot be fully simulated, Ng’s claim thus far has proven incorrect. Business leaders and policy-makers would be well-served to understand the difference between those problems that are amenable to current techniques and those that are not; Ng’s words obscured this. (Rebooting AI gives some discussion.)

It takes significantly longer than a second to actually understand spoken conversation (rather than provide a conditioned response or match against expected statements, both of which computers are fully capable of doing).

>I just wish that were the norm rather than the exception. When it’s not, policy-makers and the general public can easily find themselves confused; because the bias tends to be towards overreporting rather than underreporting results, the public starts fearing a kind of AI (replacing many jobs) that does not and will not exist in the foreseeable future.

Robotic manufacturing has already eliminated massive swaths of high paying jobs. Likewise, software has eliminated massive swaths of data entry and customer service jobs (with software being a particularly poor replacement for the latter, but still being put into widespread use to cut costs). And contrary to beliefs that new jobs will be created in IT, software is able to massively eliminate low skilled tech jobs as well, as e.g. automated testing did to India's IT industry.

As with existing jobs that have been automated away, companies won't need generalized AI to eliminate many more jobs. Many jobs don't rely on unconstrained complex deduction and thinking, and will be ripe for replacement with deep learning algorithms. And we can be reliably assured that corporations will engage in such replacements even when the outcomes are not up to par.

Remember when you could test on WebKit, to hit both Chrome and iOS, with OSX Safari as a bonus?
The question you're asking depends on the formulation of the problem you're trying to solve and who is best suited to efficiently solve that problem under limited resources and constraints. It depends on what you're trying to solve, and who is most capable of solving that problem efficiently. Sometimes this is a public/private partnership/solution where the govt provides the right/or sometimes wrong incentives for the market. Sometimes it's too much regulation, sometimes it's govt over-dependence, sometimes it works out as supplemental where the govt picks up where the market is non-existent.

What are the advantages to replacing the C implementation of Emacs to a Rust based one? Especially in terms of performance, I'm not seeing it, C is generally faster than Rust, so all Rust could provide is better safety no?

What needs to be made faster is ELisp, the parts of Emacs not implemented in C basically. Is remacs addressing that as well?

>would say you should retain copyright on a topographic map you’ve made of the Grand Canyon, even though that’s really just a 3D scan.

But it's absolutely not "just a 3D scan". I mean, unless you literally had a bunch of drones or something fly through the Grand Canyon and make an actual 3D scan as a pure replication with no further work, sure that'd be a real 3D scan. But actual maps always require creativity. There is no one way to draw lines, objects, water, etc. What should be included on a map, and what is noise? How do you balance between level of detail vs noisiness? What is worthy of being included? What kind of coloring/texture/shading? A hundred cartographers with the exact same tech could all make a map of an area and every single map would be different to one degree or another, not least depending on the exact purpose the map was intended for. That's was particularly true with the limitations of paper, but it still is even electronically. Take a look at the standard map view for Apple Maps vs Google Maps vs various Open Street Maps etc. For the exact same area they'll all be emphasizing different things, and reasonable people very much do disagree on the best way.

So maps are very much copyrightable (though lots are in the public domain since works of the USG are all public domain). They're not just mechanical reproductions.

Long story short, the creator and the relevant technology has strong fascist tenancies and should be stayed away from at all possible.

My point was: Don't do customer research and build around your problems. You'll find clients in the same position willing to pay for it.

Right, but then you don’t need a mechanism other than genetic selection. Because that’s what is typically meant by group selection: that there is an additional selective mechanism that exists aside and apart from genetic selection.
