Often times an expensive machine with an expensive service contract that requires an expensive technician is often a lot more expensive than just hiring someone for minimum wage and offering zero benefits. It's why McDonalds has had technology to automate burger flipping since the invention of the integrated circuit but prefers to use cheaper part time labor instead to this day, and why car factories only started using more automation and reducing headcounts in factories only after labor unions began demanding better pay and benefits.
It's been a looooong time since I've worked with CNC machines but doesn't the machine itself cache the instructions? Or is the PC the controller?

If it's the latter than I see your and the GP's point about RT. :)
i've wondered if the intelligence in animals varies just like the intelligence in humans. I don't see any reason why not.

I always wonder what it takes to find this kind of exploit. Are the programmers at NSO group just the best in the world? Or are they incredibly lucky? Both? I’d love to know what a normal day at work is like for their engineers. Clock in, sit down at a…crazy expensive hardware and software testing station? Crack open a brand new iPhone and start probing away while referencing internet sourced chip documentation and software manuals? What does it even look like?
Companies do periodically try to take over C++. Several have sought to throw their weight around by sending numerous extra bodies to vote at selected ISO C++ Committee meetings. They do not often succeed at that, but some have continuously outsized influence on the process, at all levels, just by their sheer amount of participation.

The people they send to meetings on a regular basis do a great deal of important work, and they often disagree among themselves. But sometimes marching orders evidently come down.

There was a recent concerted effort to define a process to determine when and where backward ABI compatibility should be abandoned, which would have made it much easier to bring about such occasions.

Maintaining a list of individually unobjectionable principles seems innocuous, but it is via the principles omitted from the list being thereby made harder to appeal to that you can get bad results. And, the more there are, the easier it is to reject this or that request.
Just so we are clear: the defunding was massive, and it happened in 2021. Here's [1] the latest budget report for NYPD. Please check page 1:

- Actual spendings for 2019: $5.98 BN, for 2020: $6.09 BN

- Plan for 2021: $5.35 BN, for 2022: $5.42 BN

The actual quote from the report, a few lines below the main chart: "The budget for the current fiscal year is $5.35 billion – the lowest figure since Fiscal 2016, a result of reforms aimed to lower City spending on policing".

In my vague understanding, there are five parties:

1. The viewer or listener of the music, you might or might not get the right to listen to music in your "territory" or country, and often the music is monetised which means you get ads, or a portion of your subscription revenue is apportioned to the "view";

2. YouTube itself, whom decides on the viewers' right to listen to the music based on their complicated set of algorithms or "claims" on the music track. They also have a complicated database of rights which includes not only rights holder relationships, but the much of the music catalogue itself;

3. A publisher of a piece of music. This copyright is for the composition (sheet music), and often YouTube may be able to work out the publishing right in a territory based on the melody match. So when you say "Content ID algo finds similarity in a dozen different recordings" this is in fact by design. Their melody matching system is in play as often publishers get paid on the composition;

4. The performance copyright of the music. This copyright is for the actual performance - whether it be live, on CD or MP3. Usually this is the record company, they will often upload or provide the music to YouTube and expect to get paid for performances. Content ID will then "claim" any third party copies of the performance and monetize them too (or sometimes block, depending on the territory of viewer, and what the publisher and performance owner wants to do for that territory);

5. Most countries also have music societies who collect on behalf of artists. So GEMA in Germany or PRS in the UK will collect money per view and by some complicated reporting will pay artists directly some small pittance every year if they are lucky. Some countries don't have societies which means YouTube doesn't need to pay. Where YouTube does not have an agreement in a country (less and less now) the music will not be monetized or may be blocked.

There are huge data reports which move around to keep this system going - and the collecting societies themselves work together to ensure that the money for a view of "Never Gonna Give Up" is passed to PRS who then occasionally will pay Rick Astley. It's a nice earner for a minority of musicians to have this income when all the cover versions and MP3 sales have dried up.

YouTube does have a lot of agreements with all the other parties and it's a constant job to renew and renegotiate these contracts constantly. You can see that in the rights notice you mention, this includes all the territories in which there are rights established: it's mind-boggling. No-one wants to lose control of this system and I imagine that makes it brittle and very difficult to disrupt...it's lawyers all the way down.

I hope that is not all too misleading!

> I generally agree with the thrust of your comment, but it's easy to underestimate the additional barriers faced by the poor.

Oh, I totally agree that more thought would need to be put into than my drive-by examples. I just object to the common attitude that some policy should be scrapped because of some marginal issue vs. modified to mitigate that issue. Policies need to be evaluated holistically, and if an issue causes one to be scrapped, it should probably be a fundamental one.
What incentive does she or anyone at youtube have to improve the situation? Creators aren't going to go anywhere else. And if you are someone who pushes through the changes internally no one who is in any position to benefit you will thank you and if it causes any legal problems you are going to be blamed.

Cars purchased on a reservation generally don't qualify for state EV incentives. Reservations are sovereign to a degree but are not their own countries; they are still subject to federal laws so they are essentially equal to states (see https://www.bia.gov/frequently-asked-questions). If reservations were were their own countries buyers would have to pay import duties if they took items purchased on reservation land off reservation lands.

And here, we run into the other side of the problem with the automated takedown system as YouTube has it implemented currently: there's no human-in-the-loop confirmation step.

So at present: owner tags some content as owned by them, content is fingerprinted, YouTube does similarity-matching, content that is similar gets flagged for takedown until the uploader intervenes. It's certainly not fair to hold the content owner accountable for false-positives any more than it's fair to hold the uploader.

(Now, in cases where the uploader pushes the "This content is legit" button and the content owner responds with the "no it isn't" button, I'd be very much in favor of incentives changing so an error at that point on the part of the content owner gets them raked over the coals. But there's no real legal mechanism for that to happen right now. Remember, this entire process exists as an alternative to the content owner's legal option: to sue YouTube or to sue individual YouTube users. YouTube doesn't want that).
I too think Advance Wars was really fun, and the AI was in fact smarter than say... Wargroove (Chucklefish did a good job with Wargroove too though, but were clearly leaning on the "resource heavy" approach moreso than Adv. Wars).

The "mech. infantry spam" almost made you C-rank (or worse) each map. Mech. Infantry was too slow to beat any mission. But if you wanted a reliable win-path (and didn't care about the time it took to win), Mech. Infantry spam was the way to go.

Adv. Wars "balanced" it out in their own way: not by nerfing units, but by simply encouraging the S-rank screen, taunting the player to beat the map faster (which meant building less-efficient, but faster, higher-cost units like tanks)
So did this act assign copyrights for recordings that had already fallen into the public domain? That doesn't seem right. Or is this only for recordings that had existing copyrights?
Or, ya know, a mistake.

I am surprised by the reactions. The author is just proposing a workflow where PRs are optional. For many years we worked without PRs at all.

It bothers me that it seems like developers no longer do "Continuous Integration" which IMHO is one of the most important software engineering practices. Companies do CI/CD pipelines, but that is not even close to "Continuous Integration"

- Maintain a Single Source Repository.

- Automate the Build

- Make Your Build Self-Testing

- Everyone Commits To the Mainline Every Day

- Every Commit Should Build the Mainline on an Integration Machine

- Fix Broken Builds Immediately

- Keep the Build Fast

- Test in a Clone of the Production Environment

- Make it Easy for Anyone to Get the Latest Executable

- Everyone can see what's happening

- Automate Deployment

More Specifically, most companies don't understand why this is important: "Everyone Commits To the Mainline Every Day". Also, there is too much branching going on.
There is no funding. Costs are negligible. Currently it is running on a cheap rented VM. Per single VM, it should scale to 3+ million API calls per days easily.

To keep it simple, I also do not want to have any income with it. In case larger API consumers are on the horizon, I will contact them and ask to sponsor a couple more VMs.
> But where is the threshold where that's acceptable? Changing one line of code? One function?

I think this is the key part where one simply should trust developers to do the right thing. I "self-approve" typo fixes. I might even self approve small enough code fixes. But the key is - I choose that myself and there is a treshold. It might be slightly different for each developer, and that's of course both good and bad.

But regardless - the reason it has to be that way, is because the alternative is unacceptable: where the process is so rigid that every trivial change such as a typo MUST be approved by a second person. Having people draw arbitrary lines for what kind of complexity warrants a review might sound bad, but it's infinitely better than the alternative.

Game companies seem to be really jumpy about any piece of data from the rule books, so they probably dislike you having preset stats instead of having players enter it themselves.

Would be worth checking what exactly apps for Warhammer etc get away with: If they survive against Games Workshop's legal department, that's IMHO a reasonable argument for what you can do at least.

From a community sentiment/personal relationship/... perspective, can't tell for the specific case. I'm a bit surprised a one-man show isn't willing to at least talk, but who knows how the initial communication went and was perceived.

Yes, for all the warts of the language, the worst thing about PHP is the illegible code that gets written by someone who glued together a bunch of solutions they found on StackOverflow. The good news is, in my experience, most of those people have moved on to JavaScript.

Note that I enjoy both PHP and JavaScript immensely. But, my God, some of the code that I've seen in both languages...

> I feel bad for you all. All of that for an endemic virus that's never going away.

I’m not from NZ. I’m from USA, a country that took the opposite approach and allowed the virus to spread before vaccines were available. Over 600,000 of my fellow citizens died as a result. The NZ approach may not have been effective in the USA for various reasons, but we can’t dispute it was very effective in NZ at preventing the death of their citizens.

Now, even if they reopen to the world without any controls and allow the virus to become endemic in a few months, they’ll have saved many of their citizens’ lives. Vaccination reduces the death rate from Covid-19 by around 10-20x so 90% or 95% of Covid-19 deaths are preventable if you vaccinate before letting the virus become endemic.

I think where I get lost is the idea that things like this somehow mean having a chicken in your yard and eating some eggs every week is evil. That there are bad impacts of animal derived products, over-fishing, etc., and that these things aren't great seem like a true thing. But I don't understand how every case of anything to do with animals (including insects, etc.) is bad follows from it. (For another example, a hypothetical closed, renewable energy powered, aquaponic system doesn't strike me as propagating great evil.)

I think you are right. It was called Dune 2. Came on a small number of floppy disks. IIRC it was the first title that Westwood developed, and definitely one of the first RTS games.

Australia has the capital and engineering capability to solve this. It’s not afraid of spending money for example it’s spending $50 billion on a suburban rail loop in Melbourne alone that has very questionable benefits (compared to alternatives). That would comfortably replace half their coal fired generation with base load nuclear for example. It would be very easy for them to change course and decarbonize their grid here if they had the political motivation.
You're right, I was wracking my brain trying to remember the full phrase but just couldn't.
Also it's worth considering that remote vs in-office work may be different skills and it takes time to build up skills.

For me, I'd rather work on building the skill with a higher sum value ver time (integration of value rate), even if their is a learning/adaption curve.

Taking someone who has worked in an office for 10 years and expecting them to be more productive in the first 6 months of work from home is failing to treat it as a skill that develops over time.
Interesting. Follow-up question: how do you know that? What makes you so sure that you are the only one that is breaking out of the circle?
Sure, that would be great if everyone suddenly ate less meat, but until we have a global cultural shift, aren't solutions like this much more valuable?

One time a project manager asked told the developers that they shouldn't introduce any new bugs in the next release, this feels like the same kind of argument.
Yes but thanks to Andrew Jackson most reservations are in the flyover states in the middle of nowhere far away from the big metro areas. So I'm not sure if it will matter much.

There are 500+ Of these distinct microstates in the US which aren’t even on any map.

They all have their own separate case law, legal structure, processes.

There is no chronicling or comparison of any of this.

Current Indigenous people recognition suffers from overinclusivity, grouping many distinct cultures as one - which has been necessary for representation but is counterproductive in many ways. (For example, do all headdress wearing tribes care about who wears a headdress, how do you know one didnt create a licensing system specifically sanctioning random people wearing it for whatever reason, if they did sanction it are they the proper authority to sanction it, should a century long squabble between two tribes over this issue matter to us? These are the kind of nuanced questions that aren’t being asked)

The infrastructure is very low in practically all.

It doesn't have to be.

Each one has to be approached distinctively.

There is much that has never been challenged.

There is no specific reason. Although there is a shared general distrust of those who look like the people in the majority.

> I guess I would say that mailing lists favor producers over consumers.

It favors insiders and temporal information, but there's no bias on the producers vs. consumers dimension. Unfortunately, you are an outsider trying to access old information, so you are severely disfavored here. A subredit is slightly less biased against outsiders but is much more heavily biased against old information.

If you can structure your information it is almost always better in another format, but there is always something that can't.
By that logic all software should be free too.
It's highly complex. Tribal governments function sort of like limited U.S. states. Generally, federal law applies, but not the hosting U.S. state.
The goal of my farm is kind of like a principle espoused by Ben Hunt of https://epsilontheory.com. He said we should create a tax regime based on the principle that 1000 millionaires is preferable to 1 billionaire. (The tax regime he recommended is quite interesting to, something along the lines of a progressive, lifetime capital gains tax, say 0% for the first $1mm, then 5% for the next $1mm, all the way up to, say, 95% for everything after $100mm.)

Our regulatory environment encourages a small handful of very powerful and wealthy agribusinesses, with all the attendant horrors from absentee landlordism and contract farming and insanely-scaled slaughtering facilities. It could just as well encourage a distribution of small family farms (this is the case in much of the non-western world).

Part of the way we're encouraging this outcome is building a platform to help small farmers directly market to customers, capturing vastly more of the value of their product.

In any case, I thought your example was interesting with cars. Right now, we sell the equivalent of the Tesla Roadster version of chicken. High-end, pricey, targeted toward an upper-middle class customer. As we gain some small amount of scale, and as we encourage more competitors and build co-operative abattoirs, the prices will come down, and we'll never be cheaper than Tyson or whoever, but we might become not so expensive that it's a real reach.

According to a BoI report, investment applications from Chinese projects in the first nine months of this year amounted to 45 billion baht, up 100% from the same period last year, mainly from the rubber industry and tyre manufacturing.

> He told The New Mexican that the state's auto dealers had "absolutely opposed" the legislation. The bill ultimately fell through.
> I did not see any allocs/de-allocs, which suggests some kind of garbage collector is being used? I guess a lot of that is straightforward with stack allocated data structures going out of scope. But that would put this language in the same realm as Go and not Rust/C/C++, which don't rely on garbage collectors.

Nim use a new GC they call ARC, which is just a clever combination of non-atomic/locking reference counting and move semantics. That combination enables the GC to be realtime capable and deterministic. It's also doesn't have GC pauses or issues with enormous heaps, but it requires more work when multi-threading. In theory Nim sounds be more similar to Go than Rust/C/C++, but with ARC you can use Nim where you'd use C/C++ (or turn off GC entirely). I'm using it on embedded RTOS'es and routinely getting exactly the same memory allocations with only a single integer add/sub overhead. Actually, many larger Rust programs end up using `Rc<mystruct>` a lot, which should result in an almost one-to-one correspondence on generated code to what Nim+ARC produces.

> I'm mainly doing Kotlin currently, which also has a multi platform compiler (with native, js, and jvm compilers). Though particularly the native compiler is a bit a work in progress. But, Nim could be considered similar to that as well.

Probably not a bad comparison. Kotlin sounds like a pragmatic language with just enough "functional concepts" to make it more productive but not type/theory heavy.

> It will be interesting to see how this language grows and evolves. Looking at Rust and Go in recent years, there are a bunch of gnarly topics that inevitably come up like how to deal with asynchronous stuff and co-routines, generics, error handling, etc.

Ouch, those are tough topics. I avoid Nim's async because it requires cycle detection (ARC w/ cycle detection) on embedded. Rust has difficulty with closures and async for similar reasons IIRC. Luckily Nim's error handling/async/co-routines are all pretty standard otherwise. There's some work to be done in Nim for improving modules and removing nill'able types from the standard library. But nothing that should cause the gnarly topics Rust/Go have been facing (:fingers-crossed:).
