Every time you login with a Yubikey you must tap it. It does not maintain its own session on the key or anything like that.

If the app maintains a session, then that depends on how long the app allows sessions/tokens to live for at that point. The Yubikey won't come into play until login is required again. So, I think you're getting at a different part of the security model at that point.

I am also a computer musician, btw, so I am well aware of the creative potentials of algorithmic composition. ;-)

However, we have to make a clear distinction between creative and recreative methods. David Cope's work is impressive, but it focusses on the recreation of existing musical styles. This is interesting from a musicologist perspective, but not very interesting artistically.

I would certainly say that deep learning generates lots of interesting “material“ (like many other methods of algorithmic composition), but we still need a human being to curate, edit and assemble the material into a meaningful piece of art.

Finally, I think the current AI debate can be very fruitful for the arts. In a way, it raises similar questions as the concept of the “readymade“ and the pop art movement did in the 20th century.

Btw, I'm currently working on an opera which uses AI generated lyrics :-)

Yes. Caddy is what we use, since not much else can do it as easily as Caddy can. And it's our go-to tool for several projects that require custom domains. And we really, really, appreciate it!

It'll be interesting to see if the laminated loose-leaf catalogues that you look at in the shops go too. They have monitors that you can search for stuff with, but I think they will lose the serendipitous impulse buy as people flick through physical pages. (And the kid pester-power effects.)
This is a pretty misleading comment that ignores much of the context of the vote as well as the different parties that vote for it. It's easy to point to the vote totals of two parties (missing out the Greens and Nationals votes of course, because that doesn't fit the narrative) and skip the months of complaining from the Liberal Party before they demanded an antiquated and expensive (AU$80 million) plebiscite. The Liberal Party was forced by the voters to pass this amendment, and they certainly didn't do it without a fight.

I had to skim down 3500 words to figure out that this article was just trying to explain PKI and isn't actually interesting to me as I already know how asymmetric encryption and signatures work.

The title is meant to be fun, I get that, but a subtitle a la "Explaining public-key infrastructure with a game example" would have clued me in and saved everyone some time...

The story is also a bit, idk. First spend three screenfuls of text walls and diagrams explaining what public key encryption is and then have another participant say "but we knew that already". It might have something to do with the cynical voice in my head going "you don't say", but it also makes me wonder why they didn't cut the explaining person off after the first two sentences. The story doesn't really seem to work.

I can not believe anyone can say with a strait face that YouTube is an example of copyright working

The number of people that get hit with false DMCA, people claiming copyright on NASA videos for example, or video clearly in the public domain, or not accounting for Fair use at all (which given your authoritarian copyright maximalist other comments I bet you support removing fair use completely from copyright ) points to a Broken System

DMCA is abhorrent law, as 95 year copyrights, no sane person would support them
While it's technically impressive and has a decent surface-level resemblance, none of the samples had any sense of direction or substance.

I can see this kind of tech taking over stuff like stock music that's automatically added to consumer holiday videos or played on the phone while you wait for a customer service agent.

That said, I'd expect the agent to be an AI long before generated music becomes independently musically relevant.

> After 30 years 9% of CO2 in the atmosphere is man made assuming we start off with 0% man made CO2 (obviously not true).

So why do you try to argue something based on assumptions that are by your own admissions obviously not true?

What is the "normal" amount of CO2 in the atmosphere? What amount is optimal? What difference does it make to the atmosphere whether the CO2 is according to us of human origin or not?

Presumably, nobody sane believes we're at historically high levels of CO2 right now, past levels at 1000-4000ppm are not really disputed in the scientific community.

I agree with this. In retrospect, a better path for me would've been (in The Netherlands):

- Don't do pre-university in high school but prepare for "higher job education" in high school. Graduate at 17.

- Do a "higher job education", speed it up (instead of 4 years do 3 years) and graduate at 20. Do some web dev/UX-based degree (they exist and speedups are possible, provided you're pro-active).

- Get a job grind away for 3 to 5 years, learn about investing and invest most of the money.

- If you want to go deeper in computer science, because the craft is beautiful then follow a master degree in security.

I'd have missed out on a lot of spiritual/some social development that I wouldn't have gotten at "higher job education" but did get at uni (as I did that for 6 months, a different degree though). However, compared to that, I now have a career setback of 7 years.

And all that for a reasonable pricing.

I'm confused about who the news belongs to. I always have it in my head that if your name's in the news, then the news should be paying you. Because it's your news and they're taking it and selling it as their product. But then they always say that they're helping you, and that's true too, but still, if people didn't give the news their news, and if everybody kept their news to themselves, the news wouldn't have any news. So I guess you should pay each other. But I haven't figured it out fully yet.

A short (and hence inaccurate) overview of the apprenticeship system for the trades in my country:

Apprentices start working one day a week and going to school four. They end up working four days a week and going to school one. Apprentices can switch to a more academic track, at a technical school or university, if they get the desire.

When they finish with their apprenticeship, not only do they already have horizontal ties with their classmates, but they also have vertical ties with their business, its clients, and the master tradesmen who conducted the classroom component and oversaw the theoretical and practical exams.

I've been involved in some ports recently, from really old systems into modern ones(like, PS1 games into current/next gen) - it's basically

1) import the whole thing into Visual Studio solution

2) Add the desired target platform

3) hit build

4) keep resolving compilation errors until the game builds.

5) keep resolving linking errors until the game links

6) try running the game until it starts on the target system and doesn't crash immediately.

7) congrats, now you have something that most likely runs without any video, sound or input

8) spend X amount of time re-writing the renderer for the target system, add input support, add sound. This step can take any amount of time

9) congrats, now you have a game that "runs". It probably runs like absolute garbage right now. Now spend time understanding how all subsystems work - how is the data loaded? If it was a PS1 game, it was probably optimized for loading from the disc - can we now change it to have a more straightforward loading sequence. Can we just load the whole thing into ram on startup and be done with it?

9) do as many tweaks and optimizations as the time and budget allow - make sure it renders in 4K, supports 3D audio, rumble for controllers etc etc etc etc.

Again, step 9 can take any amount of time, depends what your production allows.

We were lucky in that the original programmers who worked on these games 20+ years ago still work at the same company - so it was quite fun for them to revisit that old code. But yeah, don't expect people to remember the code they wrote 20 years ago, you end up ripping out entire sections still marked as "fixme before launch(date: 12/1998)".

As for porting between current platforms(like a game simultaneously launching on Xbox and Playstation) - it's usually built for both from the start. In the rare cases where a platform gets added later, it's basically the same process as above - add the target, try building and running until it does. People who have experience doing it can progress much faster than people who don't - same as everything.

I would love for you do show me in copyright law where it grants the right to control personal reproduction, as the copyright law is very clear about what rights it grants, it is all about distribution and performance

It’s hard to define RISC, but separating load and stores from computations is a side effect of the desire to have uniform, low instruction execution times in order to simplify pipelining, not a goal of RISC.

AES would be non-RISCy because it won’t execute in a single clock cycle, either stopping the pipeline or necessitating complex logic.

Having said that, I don’t think RISC-V implementations are 100% RISC in that respect (is any CPU?)

The internet was pretty great when it was just people sharing info without looking for a advertising partnership with Land 'O Lakes.

It's all very well lamenting the Good Old Days of the web when the content was free and the adverts were few as if it's disappeared but it really hasn't. There are thousands of people making content and publishing it to Instagram, YouTube, and various recipe websites and blogs every day. They do it for the love of publishing their thoughts. People still do that.

Two other things are different now though.

Firstly, our expectations changed. Unless someone is an "influencer" or a "thought leader" many people deem them not to be worth their time. We have a measure of quality and anything that falls below it gets ignored (or even ridiculed.)

Secondly, we stopped searching for content. Today people don't search the web for content. They go to a website where an algorithm curates "the best mashed potato recipes ever" in to a playlist or a listicle for them. It's not surprise at all that's the content produced by professional content marketing companies, and it's the stuff that has adverts on it.
Why did they design a PLA and then use it like this rather than going a bit further and designing an ASIC? I guess because MOS sold the same PLA to other people?

Excellent article. The best part is the author's recognition of the importance of getting help with the editing—not only checking the grammar and spelling but also working with the author on the content and tone. That can really make a difference in how well a book is received, and it's something that seems to be overlooked by many people who publish their own books. (Design is important, too, though maybe not as much as he thinks, especially for books sold online.)

I wondered, though, whether he was able to get the same quality control with the translations. His budget of $3,700 for "Foreign translations & ebook production" isn't very much even for one language. A good translation requires a lot of time and skill to produce, especially if one wants it to read smoothly and be culturally appropriate in the target language.

Sorry for the late answer.

Judging from the kinds of examples you give (fear of expressing one's own opinion etc.), I'm thinking that you might be talking about a level of polarisation that I mostly associate with the US currently. That's certainly not what is going on in Switzerland, but it's also not what is going on in many other parts of the world, so I don't think "not as bad as the US" is a sufficient criterion for "not polarised".

But the SVP does consistently put up posters such as this one: https://img.nzz.ch/2019/8/19/a8db938f-4e3a-4eb4-9eec-31102df... ("should we allow liberals and 'nice people' to destroy Switzerland?")

Or this one: https://www.sozialarchiv.ch/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/04_So... ("This is what liberals want")

Or: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/1lgJnhTI6CNiyT7h_-8D... ("free-for-all? no")

All of these examples (and many, many more, going back over decades) attempt to paint the political opposition as subhuman and as selling out the country to "bad people", and don't forget: this is the most powerful party in Switzerland (though, to be fair, in Switzerland with its multi-party system that doesn't mean more than 25-30%).

There are also numerous examples of the SVP using the same sort of language and imagery when referring to immigrants, muslims, etc., but while equally repulsive, I'll grant you that it's not an example of polarisation necessarily.

By contrast, I now live in Germany, and before the rise of the far-right AfD party just a couple of years ago, this sort of rhetoric and imagery would have been completely unimaginable. Even now, the AfD is politically isolated and its politics, language and imagery are reviled pretty much across the political spectrum, whereas in Switzerland, the SVP has succeeded in "normalising" this sort of political discourse over decades.
Annette Zimmermann – Algorithmic Fairness and Decision Landscapes
Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”

A US judge, presiding over a trial for copyright infringement, recognized that “piracy” and “theft” are smear words.
This is an excellent summary, thanks!
