I have a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos[1] setup with decent sized modern speakers, hooked up to an 11 channel Denon amp. There is absolutely NO WAY any soundbar can compete with this setup.

That said, for people who do not have the luxury of having a dedicated space for a home cinema rig like mine, and want a better sound stage than the rubbish speakers in their LCD television, then a soundbar is a great non-intrusive solution.

The problem here is, TV manufacturers focus so hard on the pixels in their panels, but ignore the acoustic properties of the on-board speakers.

What you've described often goes hand-in-hand with a two-party system. That way everyone finds themselves voting for what they believe to be the lesser of two evils.

Alternative voting systems (e.g. ranked choice systems) aren't some sort of political panacea, but they could help a lot with this issue. A populist thrives in an environment that does not support nuance. It would be harder for them to be successful if they were running against, say, 6 viable opponents rather than 1.

I hope we can address some of these major problems with democracy, because the alternatives generally aren't great.
Government employee in Canada here. The pay itself is not necessarily the best, but top notch benefits, generous vacation (maybe a moot point in Netherlands but definitely not here), a rock solid pension make it a lot closer than the salary number alone.

There's also the fact that the number of hours worked is always fair, and that you can move within the public service very easily.
Last chance to protest against the passing of that law. Repealing laws is harder than stopping them from becoming passed.
The issue is that you think about it exclusively when sharipe-less, tape-less, angry and weak.

It really has a bad reputation in the general population because many of them are intransparent and full of scammers trying to make a quick buck.

I have no illusion that central banks operate independent of government, that thought seems ridiculous. Nobody is allowed to say it though, as there is nobody allowed to say that many countries are basically broke.

I still think that some currencies will establish themselves, but the gold rush seems to have damaged the reputation of most currencies.

The only reason the law doesn't work this way for Microsoft Copilot is because the copyright holders are individuals who do not have the capital or expertise to file suit.

If Microsoft instead released a video editor addon that was trained on Disney movies and which would sometimes insert scenes of _any_ Disney movie you can bet your ass we wouldn't be having the same discussion.
It's hard to organize protests for free speech. If you ask people if people should be free to express their opinions, most people would agree. But then, if you ask people if it should be possible to block content doubting the scale of pandemic or efficiency of the vaccines, most people would also agree.
I think 'Queer' is one of the Q's. The definition I heard for it now was that 'gay' is someone who wants to have a mainstream life with their same-sex partner while 'queer' is someone who considers their sexual identity a form of rebellion.

Onkyo receivers don't have a power LED, they have a standby one that is off when the device is in use. They also usually have a dimming feature on the display and I have seen some units have a "pure audio" mode that turns off the display unless you are actively changing things.
By analogy, are you saying government should not regulate and protect air quality?
When I say "malicious code," what I really mean is some well-known patterns of malicious code, not all malicious code in general. Just like we are surprised about "secrets" being regurgitated when we mean "API keys."
I should have mentioned in my comment, the first meds I took did absolutely nothing, it was the second try that actually did the trick. Worth giving it another shot.
You're right. I know what they meant, I just refuse to accept or acknowledge a bad law. In my view, protesting also means going against something even if it means stepping outside the boundary of the law. Taking one for the team so to speak.
That's because we have been trained on a model where midwits speak with the exact same authority on any given subject as this author does.

GP also doesn't mention that having a perm contract on its own grants an individual benefits you wouldn't otherwise have. Inverse this, and it means a perm contract becomes a requirement for reaching a lot of milestones in life. Most notable are mortgages and even free market rent.

You're right! I noticed it a few minutes ago and changed the wording accordingly. Thanks for pointing out how shockingly bad that algorithm actually is! :D

Yeah, that mutate + return is confusing. It's also worth noting that, as a result of the mutation, the function doesn't work on immutable types like strings and tuples.
But she doesn’t seem to have engaged - she seems ignorant of basic facts of what the technology is doing in practice if you read the other comments here which give specific examples.
we have similar mechanism in New Zealand, under consumer guarantees act. But the way it played out is quite differently. Retailers end up slapping on a little extra as insurance. With lower priced items they'd just buy a bit more and just exchange. With more expensive items they'd try to fix but often contract the jobs out anyway and just give customer a new unit then sell on the refurbished product on the second hand market.

I still come across many who don't know the law, and retailers take advantage of it by coercing gullible consumers into submission. And those who are able to whisper the magic words of consumer guarantees act gets a relatively speedy resolution.
>There was a medium article that recently suggested that developer competence be measured by a number of standards that are quite obviously the result of the authors misperception about how web browsers, JavaScript, modern front end coding idioms, and modern front end build tool chains work.

This insight is severely under appreciated. It may very well be the primary personality trait that separates engineers. It's not intelligence, reasoning, or problem solving skills. Those are certainly needed, but they are needed in a lot of occupations. Engineers for whatever reason are unwilling to let a problem go no matter how frustrating.
The EU always says this. Then they point at that one sentence and say: "See, we're protecting end-to-end encryption!"

If the EU were an oil company they'd write: "Our oil is not allowed to be used in activities that are harmful to the climate." Then they'd go on to sell oil as usual while constantly claiming to protect the environment.
Going into this, I'm always wary of the almost romanticised link between depression and giftedness. The 'tortured genius' narrative is not a healthy one to adopt.

Closing in on some ageism inflection points, I find I have the opposite problem: everything is still interesting! Maybe more so: things I thought were boring at 20 are things I now know more about the relevance of. And the thing that's terrifying is knowing I won't have time to learn it all.

Paradoxically, this does have the side effect that I'm more skeptical of learning some new ways of doing the same thing, preferring to prioritize new learning for actual new capabilities vs different arrangements of the same deck chairs. I see that behind some of the inertia in my experienced cohort -- just-in-time can be reasonable approach to picking up specific tech.

OTOH, I've certainly worked with people who are aggressively disinterested in picking up anything new, even when offered the chance to do so on the job, and that's certainly no fun to work with. Or manage.
I'm personally a big fan of (especially) the most recent builds of Python 3, but lately I've been interested in learning Go or Rust just because there's a few things I really like about them both vs some other languages I've looked at.

So, seein' that you've coded in both Go and Rust apparently, my question to you is: Which do you prefer of the two (and why)? I personally lean a bit toward Go, but I haven't learned enough of either to decide absolutely which of the two I should learn first.
Its kind of more interesting because you can find out more about whats happening 'under the hood'. When two people play its just 'clever brain vs clever brain' with no engineering details. When two AIs play you can say its this many racks of servers and teraflops and the other one has a model thats trained itself from scratch for a few hours or whatever and so when one of them starts to trample the AI opposition we actually learn something other than 'this person has a brain thats good at chess'.

Why do you associate this with masculinity though? Yes, your father is man but I'm not sure if his masculinity has anything to do with it?

I recognize the character traits. I know someone raised without a father who also shows them. Perhaps in his case a result of having a tough time financially their entire youth? This put a huge value on stuff (because almost everything is irreplaceable, literally, and there was hardly any time to fix things), leaving little room for error and no reasonable room for breaking stuff, as children do?

As I am getting older I really realize that I do things like my parents did them. It is really difficult to just decide to do it differently because of the emotions involved. It is difficult to be rational the whole time, the monkey brain sometimes leads. What is important is to be able to admit your mistakes and being able to apologize. For all my flaws I hope to show my kids at least that there is no shame in this.

I'm sometimes harsh on the children only to later apologize and tell them I actually do believe they should be able to make mistakes and that whatever they broke can be fixed again, and if not, no lives were lost (ideally).
My guess is that their lawyers weren't consulted, and that the Github people just shipped it on their own.
The example you linked to is talking about a 16 line function from the Quake source. The Quake source is 167,594 lines in total (counting the C code only). Does that really fail to meet the standard for "smallest excerpt"?
This is the closest anyone has ever come to convincing me to use GPL instead of MIT license.

But I still want to support small developers with anything I produce for fun, and I'm not willing to give that up to spite the big developers.

For instance, I wrote a small class to load OBJ files in Unity because I needed it for an idea. I went ahead and put it on Github for others that need it, too. I could easily see someone having an idea similar to mine that needed that and couldn't find it out there. (I think there are more libraries like that now, though.) I wanted them to feel comfortable using it, even if they eventually make money with their game.

If a big corp uses that code, too, that sucks. But there's no good way to draw that line in a license, so I didn't.

Having said that, in the future I could see releasing some software that I don't think anyone should profit from, and in that case I'd GPL it. Previously, I'd have just defaulted to the same MIT license. I'm just not sure what that'd be yet.

Except Copilot itself is not open source, so your only way to feed that proprietary code into it would be to upload it to github, which would make you an infringer.
There is the exact same story about rats in Indochina during the French occupation. In fact the stories are so similar that one wonders if they were not specially crafted to demonstrate the incompetence of the colonial rulers.
Why can’t they just allocate more channels to upload. charge more, allocate more. But no, you can’t pay them to give you more upload.
Not only that, but it is clearly someone going out of their way to make it do that. I’m not sure that that is a reasonable test of how the program typically behaves.
There are things that already do what Copilot does, eg Kite so it's hardly innovative imo.
You can lose relative to the market but still come out positive, maybe even beating inflation. There’s still a lot more room there than the net negative expectation of a casino wager.
Damn, I should buy a smart watch just for this. I came to add I set my pace at the 3 mile mark too. Im currently running 5 miles every otherday.

I think it would be more like a friend telling you to take the bike or saying it is his bike and you can take it for a ride.

But yes I get your point but I also believe people still need to apply some sense to what co pilot suggests.
I see posts like yours so often. They're ubiquitous.

It's like saying 'you don't need anything more than Windows Home. Just leave everything on default, let Microsoft work for you! Everything else is worthless overcomplicated crap.'

Meanwhile, the reality is that finance (much like any other industry) is filled to the brim with mediocrity, and even spending a cursory amount of time doing research would net a significant positive income flow. But people don't do it. They get discouraged when they find out the markets aren't 'fair', everyone has an 'edge', and they resign themselves into thinking that the best way to make money is to just give it away to one of the big players that made it all so unfair in the first place.

They milk your money for all its worth and give you a pittance, but you remain content with yourself because this month you made 6% return on your 'investments'. The S&P went up, after all, and you, the intelligent market participant, were there to reap the benefits :^)

Meanwhile, the 'intelligent' money that outwits you throws it all in Chinese Starbucks competitors that cook the books[1], speculative electric car companies that roll parts kits downhill[2], or leverages billion dollar funds 5:1 resulting in a magnificent $10bn implosion.

Grand Source Code theft. A permanent stain on Github?

They should scrap it and Microsoft should be ordered to sell Github because they have a conflict of interest.

For example Microsoft has access to your private repos and can do things like co pilot with your data.
Who knows maybe your code powers Windows 11 now.

Yes that is definitely true.

Its crazy how your mind works, and how depression obscures and bends the reality. But its a sickness and not a character trait, you can't let it define you.

Haven't seen Chia mentioned in this thread and it was only briefly mentioned in the article — Proof of Space/Time seems to have the same security guarantees as Bitcoin without any of the electricity usage. It uses extra hard drive space but a recent report confirmed that a lot of that is using underutilized existing space, not space from new drives: https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US47836321

> Leak working API keys in the editor.

The content of your editor is sent by Copilot to its cloud service (the FAQ says: "The GitHub Copilot editor extension sends your comments and code to the GitHub Copilot service"). So yes any editor content is leaked, including sensitive information.

But is this content sent to other Copilot users? AFAIK, no. The FAQ mentions the OpenAI Codex as the training set.

It's really kind of comical at this point. The more this copilot bs continues to be a thing, the more it's making Github seem irresponsible/careless at best.
