>Patents are a pertect example of something that did make sense back when they were made.

Their function was always to create more property to capitalize. I'm not sure you could argue that this wasnt the intended effect. The idea that they ever spurred innovation was the "big lie".

There have been historical periods of explosive innovation that coincided with lax or no enforcement of intellectual property rules but never, as far as im aware, the reverse.
"DRI" is a fuzzy term :)

What's there is a basic KMS driver, so rather than one single framebuffer, userspace can do pageflips. Mutter can run with a display-only KMS driver + llvmpipe for rendering by now I'm pretty sure. wlroots has landed this feature recently-ish too.

The patent's in the trial are pretty bad. Half are just about devices synchronize state using a LAN. The other half concern the UI and stuff.

Maybe these had a bit of innovation in 2003 but there is nothing substantial. I'm sure some pre-network audio equipment had to synchronize state and audio timing so doing it over the LAN is not (IMO) sufficient for a new patent.

In any case, software patents should be very strict and last at most 5 years (which is more like 8 years from application to expiry).

None of these are things I can appropriately choose.

I am not a disease expert. If I'm running a country, though, I have access to the disease experts. And the appropriate response is one that is in tune with the advice from the disease experts, who would balance what is best to stop the spread of disease with what we can reasonably expect most of society to be doing.

Until then, I'm just some person in a small attic apartment meandering about on the internet and do not have the overview or access to information that would lead to an informed enough decision - especially in light of the life and death situation failure creates.
The actual problem here is that Microsoft allows OEMs to install user space programs via their drivers, which are installed automatically without user intervention using Windows Update. This is unacceptable. Microsoft should only accept kernel mode drivers. If users want user space tools they can find them in the OEM website.

Not commenting on any specific emerging technical measures, I believe in general detecting & reporting CSAM possession, while not without side-effects, is probably one of the very few ways to reduce child abuse (including that at home) without large-scale intrusive monitoring of family affairs. (Other ways could be commercials encouraging abused children to complain, presumably of limited effectiveness.)

That said, addressing the underlying causes of abuse (which could probably only be done very indirectly, such as by improving general well-being and working on mental health issues among the population) as the proper long-term solution shouldn’t be ignored.

I strongly disagree. Without patents, something like the Subminimal Foamer kickstarter would have been impossible. That was one guy inventing a new way to make milk foam and then commercializing it. Without patents, Amazon.com would probably have been flooded with fakes before he finished raising money for the first prototype.

That seems completely unreasonable. The police operates on imperfect evidence, and as long as we don't switch to an omniscient surveillance state, that will always be the case. Catching the wrong guy and letting him go after a week seems like a reasonable mistake when you're looking for a murderer. If it had been 6 months, he would have had way more of a point.
> What's the mix of vaccinated and unvaccinated people in the hospital?

Iceland is fairly transparent with those numbers, but the only easily-accessible metrics are in the Icelandic version of the news:

https://www-mbl-is.translate.goog/frettir/innlent/2021/08/22...

"17 patients are in the emergency department of the hospital and seven of them are unvaccinated. There are seven in intensive care and three are unvaccinated. Five are on a ventilator and two of them are unvaccinated."

Those numbers are typical of the daily news: most of the hospitalized are usually vaccinated. You're going to have all kinds of followup questions like which vaccine did they get, what percentage of the population got which vaccine versus got hospitalized, etc. I'm just sharing this so you can see how you can't possibly gather all of those details quickly, especially when the situation is in flux.

Plus, given that this is peak tourism season for Iceland and a lot of folks here are from out of the country right now, you'd probably want a breakdown of what percentage are foreigners versus residents, and that's not available as far as I'm aware.
Good to hear you'll be talking about it your endocrinologist.

Couple things:

Injectable Semaglutide was first FDA approved in 2017 as Ozempic. Wegovy is also injectable Semaglutide. The key difference is the approved dose: Ozempic is 1.0mg, Wegovy is 2.4mg. The FDA approval is also very important for future insurance remibursement.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 RA. These medications stimulate a receptor in your body which results in three main effects: 1 - Slowing down gastric emptying so food stays in your stomach for longer (this is thought to be why there is sometimes nausea when starting the medication) 2 - Making you feel full by working on your central nervous system 3 - Managing glucose control (which is why it's used for people with diabetes too)

What sounds obvious (from how it was described in one of the articles) is that the data is fake. And that someone fabricated data that anyone who hadn't slept through the first day of Stats 101 would understand is fake data.

If I'm being creative for a moment, I can totally imagine a few other plausible scenarios, which also seem more likely than Ariely knowingly publishing obviously fake data.

I'm not going to mention those scenarios, because, in the kind of court of public opinion/speculation like we're seeing even in this very HN post, people are effectively convicted and executed upon speculation.

These are real people, consider they might be innocent, and therefore treat them as we'd like to be treated, were we innocent yet suddenly fell into the crosshairs of the Twittersphere loose canons.

Although I never carry a phone to begin with, as a previous non-swimmer I have started swimming in open water this year ( obviously I learnt to swim as a child ).

The 'just you and the elements' part is real, in the open water you can't just stop and get out, you have got to complete what you started. The 'completeness' of the exercise is different than biking or walking : every joint and muscle seems to be involved.

Back on land, the exhaustion is a different level than any other. Very deep breaths. When I get home, I am hungry as hell. Chronically under-weight, I seem to be gaining weight, very happy with that.

The end of summer is approaching and the water is getting colder, I am exploring the indoor pools in my vicinity.
Uhm. If you can't trust them to write a user-mode program without messing up security this badly, you absolutely can't trust them to write a kernel-mode driver without completely screwing everything up.

jupyter does allow to produce presentations, and I used it with great success at conferences where a mix of slideshow and interactive programming suits the format perfectly.

But honestly it's only a tiny small part of what it's for.

jupyter is mostly about explorating ideas, code and data. It gives you a comfortable env to quickly try something out. Sharing it with other is just the cherry on the cake, not the main goal. I mostly never share my notebooks, but I will fire one as soon as I want to try a new library, or need to extract data from a file.

This may be a dumb question, but what _precisely_ does it mean to track someone? If I give you a session cookie when you log in, am I tracking you? If I give you a cookie when you visit without logging in, am I tracking you? What about if I log your IP address when you click on something? Or does it only refer to tracking people across different sites?
I expect the developers who write the kernel mode drivers to be much more competent and senior than those who write the flashy, slow GUIs that come with them. Yes, naive assumption, but still!
Some things can be optimised in parallel, but other things can’t.

The example my father gave when I was a teen was: “nine women can’t make one baby in one month”.

> And why should I figure out a better algorithm?

They said “if”; if you do, you could get very, very rich.
Writing web-facing code in C in 2021 is seldomly a good idea, even if it runs on OpenBSD in a jail.
I think you might be interested in learning about Amdahl's law:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law

Some parts of an algorithm are parallelizable, but only up to a certain limit; and that's where the endgame bottleneck is: the last remaining 'in series' parts and the communication overhead for the parallelized parts.

Note that their Dojo system has absolutely massive networking equipment: that's for having a better endgame at Amdahl's law.

----

On another note, one can modify the algorithm itself so that is has more inherent parallelism. For example DNA sequencing: you match short reads, them send them off to be reconciled together. The way to have more parallelism is to generate more matches -by lowering the threshold for matching-. Having more matches means more communication costs, but better parallelism.

For gradient descent, one of the tricks is learning in batches of input data: the neural network doesn't learn from the freshest point of view, but it can be done in parallel (also the way to aggregate new knowledge is to do an average of the weights, which must limit the amount of things learned)
> This is a fun idea, but it generates comments that are typically the ones which should not exists in actual code, because they do not add any useful information

The point is attaching meta info to values which aren't pointless. Say:

weight = 42 /* pounds */;

It's kinda like types, but without the type checks. I'm not purely sarcastic, because boxing values within objects so they have a type has drawbacks.

That said, there are better way of typing values without boxing them.
The same thing could be said for software licensing, couldn’t it?
Free Software is not about getting stuff for free and never was. Free refers to freedom/liberty.

> Free software is software that gives you the user the freedom to share, study and modify it. We call this free software because the user is free.

To quote fsf,

> Free software means that the users have the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. Thus, free software is a matter of liberty, not price.

> The leak of of the "China" virus from the Wuhan lab was an outright lie just one year ago.

Was it? I remember hearing plenty about the theory for a while. Sure, a lot of it (if not most) was saying that the theory is wrong - but not that it was a lie or anything, just giving evidence against.

(And to be clear, saying a year ago that it is for sure a leak was probably really a lie - just as saying it now, cause afaik there is no conclusive evidence either way).
I believe that meaning is something we create ourselves. It can't be found.

Most people assign meaning to helping others, or the advancement of knowledge.
In the US there are different safety and fuel economy standards for different classes of vehicles. The traditional SUV is built on a light truck frame and is classified as a light truck, so it does not need to meet the same safety and fuel economy standards that would be required of a sedan. It gets a bit fuzzier when you start to talk about 'crossover' vehicles, which are usually SUV-style vehicles built on sedan frames. The short version is that light truck standards assume things like pickup trucks used on farms or construction sites and not soccer moms hauling three kids and groceries.

> This equipment was purchased by Afghanistan from the US (using US funds, obviously)

As someone with a slightly pacifist streak and a very strong dislike of the military industrial complex, this statement, as obvious as it is, somehow still makes me furious...

I often wonder how people working in these circles or supporting politics in this direction sleep at night. It's so obviously pointless, so obviously destructive, so obviously detrimental to humanity as a whole... I don't know. Maybe I'm just too naive, but I just can't decide if I should feel sad or angry about it.

The meaning of "free" in "free software" is the one from "freedom" or "free speech". It is about liberty, not price. You can totally sell free software for example. And a lot of people are paid to develop free software (so the software itself is not free as in $0 even if it is so for end users).

I'm far from agreeing with everything the FSF says or does, but see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html for more information.
“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer”. We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.

You may have paid money to get copies of a free program, or you may have obtained copies at no charge. But regardless of how you got your copies, you always have the freedom to copy and change the software, even to sell copies.
