> Developers are scared away by lGPL.

For me it's very much the opposite, I refuse to contribute code to anything licensed under the MIT/BSD/etc family of languages.

It makes me sad to see so much confusion, incorrect information, naiveté and paranoia going around regarding the GPL that it's scaring people off. I think that most of these people would feel differently if they understood better.

I think the systematic defanging and watering down of the free software movement is a great loss.

Nicely done, and very fascinating! Good thing the sea is not infinitely deep, or I’m not sure I could stop scrolling. “Just a couple more scrolls, what’s below this?”
Constant probability function. (Please be precise!)
Episodes like this really highlight how Theranos was not just a case of "Silicon Valley overhyping" taken to an extreme, as has often been portrayed in the media. Flat out lying to investors is a cardinal sin in the Valley, and the line between selling a future vision and what your current capabilities are is not really gray. It would have been one thing to say, for example, that "we plan to be able to run 1000 different tests in a year", and not deliver, vs flat out saying "our technology can run all those tests today", which it most definitely couldn't.

Full page reloads seem like a red herring to me here. There doesn't seem to be a difference in feasibility of achieving these things between having and not having them.
I take for granted, the world exists, therefore it is.

You may call it Borrible's first tautology.
Or perhaps bias.
Yes, Borrible' bias sounds clever. At least to me.
And that is what counts, doesn't it?

I don't really know what that fucking world really is, but nonetheless it exists.

With temporarily stable local dynamics, some parts of the world began to copy themselves.
Albeit with errors and quirks.
The recurring processes of the surrounding builded the mold for the debris that collects in the swirls.

Some of those copies developed representations of their surroundings.
First in form of simple notes sticking on themselves, being themselves.
Which was an advantage, when they bumped into another.
They could navigate that thing I called world.
Which made their copy process stable.

With a lot of time and try and error, some parts of those parts of parts of that thing I called world even developed some really fancy little dollhouse worlds in this part of the world that will later call itself the brain.

And the most advanced ham actors in that dollhouse put more tiny little dolls in that house, the most precious one, ego.
It represented that part of the world that started the whole shebang, the body.
And it equipped that tiny little dollhouse with a lot of woundrous and a lot of silly things, some animated , some not.
And it took great delight in it, it even fancied itself a god and pushed the tiny little ego around doing his biddings.

But for the most part it just tried to please itself and learn about the world and itself, based on all that input it got somehow from the world.
And the drama that ham actor and his Muppet Friends acted.

Exactly like all those good little boys and girls do on their playgrounds since time immemorable.

When I was young, something happend.
My dolls started to become 'Little Computer People'.

And people my generation and that before developed fancy models about this Matrioshka Doll World, about Worlds in Worlds in World in Worlds.
Infinite regress, sometimes recursive, sometimes not.
A calaidoscopic mirror, sometimes dark, sometimes shiny.

Simulacron 1, 2, 3 and so on until there is no energetic process in that thing I call world, that can be harvested.

And every time those models became more complex, they gave more agency to that part of the world that is now mumbling about building a new Ghost in the Machine.

Apart from the possibly insurmountable practical problems, I see no reason in principle why it should become more complex in the form of artificial intelligence.

As an aside, it's great to be that part of the world, but beware.
It may all end the moment that ham actor in that dollhouse cuts the strings to that world he is living of.

A risk deeply embedded in this structure.
Of an agent acting in a model of the world.

The agent is subject to the risk of his striving to make himself independent of the world.
Google can't win? Their idea of removing third party cookies was on the condition everybody would accept FLoC, so Google still makes money while everybody else doesn't. Yes, it's an antitrust concern.
For the vector fields just anyone with a couple of singularities would work. The moment you set unequal axes Mathematica blows up.

Sorry but am home. If you mail me during the week I shall find examples for you.

Interestingly, if it's sail powered it looks like people would actually pay to travel on it (although maybe not to travel from where you'd also want to ship cargo?). So maybe workforce would not be that expensive on those ships.

For instance:
- the sailcargo project (https://www.sailcargo.inc/) main ship has as many guest travellers than sailors (assuming "guests" means paying customers)
- the ecoclipper500 project (https://ecoclipper.org/prototype/) also has room for "guests"
- many of the traditional large sailboats are packed with paying guests and unpaid trainees as well
Imagine how it felt in the early 90s!
There certainly can be, and have been, surprising drawbacks from what would've seemed like a clear win safety technologies.

For example ABS increased crash rates for a good while when it was new, contrary to all expectations.

From this NHTSA report: https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/...

"Analyses of data from the early 1990s showed significant increases in fatal run-off-road crashes with ABS, on the order of 28 percent. The increase was baffling, given the success of ABS on the test track. However, at that time, many drivers did not yet know how to use ABS correctly."

I observed this effect first hand, because from the late 90s to the late 00s I was frequently a car control clinic instructor. One of the exercises of these clinics was to teach panic braking. In the earlier years most people showed up with non-ABS cars so this was a great exercise in teaching proper braking control.

As ABS cars became more and more prevalent we (the instructors and the school) thought that this exercise can go away since there is no skill to learn braking if you have ABS, just mash the pedal.

Alas, no! It is difficult to believe, but approximately nobody that came to these car control clinics with an ABS car was actually able to initially brake hard enough to even activate the ABS. Sometimes it took many many runs through the braking exercise to finally get it: just press hard on the brake pedal.
My husband and I went there in December, which I highly endorse. It was frigid when we started, cool when we got as far as we thought prudent for a day hike, and we were sweating and down to t-shirts by the time we made it back up top.

Time management: think about how long you want to be out. Divide by 3. Once you hit that first third, turn around. I follow this rule on my bike as well when riding downriver if the train situation is uncertain. I do not appear to be nearly as well-trained as the rest of you commenting on this.
Have you checked your hormone levels ?

I am a 35 yr old male, and few months back found that my Testosterone levels were in the 150-300 range among different labtests (acceptable range being 300-1100). In males Estrogen is created from free testosterone. Because of my low testosterone, my estrogen levels were in immeasurable range (it just said less than 10). I faced different side-effects of almost non-existing Estrogen like dry skin, facial twitchiness, dry irritating eyes, low libido.
Also had anxiety, depression, and low drive/motivation because of the low testosterone.

I have been trying different methods to raise my testosterone levels, clomid/TRT/Hcg. all the methods make me feel better than my previous self. I am trying to figure out which method will help me maintain optimum hormone levels in the longterm with less side effects, I think most likely it will be a combination of cycling through all of these three methods. Planning to use Enclomiphene instead of Clomid, the next time I try a SERM.
That's a shame, lets hope progress is made to allow for longer voyages.
This is so fascinating! I love your footage, it’s really beautiful. What were your biggest takeaways? What route did you take?
I did AoC2020 with C++ and did it in a enterprise, over-the-top, well-structured way. E.g. need to find two items whose prices sum up to 123? Implement a multidimensional knapsack just in case you need it later (spoiler: I did need it). If you take the time, and don't bother with the leaderboard, you might find AoC to be a really fun and engaging way to explore new concepts and solutions.
Thanks for mentioning Pcspecialist. They seem to be making nice laptops which are aren't more costly than brand names such as HP or Dell or Lenovo.
This was great. Now is there something like this for zk proofs?
Unions don't plot against the "interests or strategic objectives." They give workers collective bargaining power and representation, helping put them on equal footing with their employer to be able to negotiate fairly.

Musk is the richest man in the world right now (on paper.) Whatever the costs of allowing unions in his factories, I think he can probably handle it. Most of his problems are of his own creation, like his insistence on pushing hard for more automation when they hadn't been able to sort out their existing automation issues.

Unions are extremely common around the world. In the late 60's, something like 30% of the US workforce belonged to unions. Now it's barely above ten percent. The drop correlates well against middle class wealth, which has plunged steadily, again, since the late 60's.
I am all for the knobs, especially for driving, but going retro now would probably add silly costs to manufacturing, so that ship has sailed. I don't use voice controls in the house (Alexa et al) because creepy listeners. But in a car, I'd prefer decent voice controls for sound and heating etc over touchscreen menus.
Just to give you more anecdata, I have had both auto and manual AC and I fuss and fidget with both obsessively.

Part of it is that I often want a cool breeze regardless of the ambient temperature. I feel somehow more focused and relaxed with cool moving air, no idea why or how normal that is.

Air has more properties than temperature, that's the issue with auto AC.
That really helped me once when I needed to try something using Chez Scheme which doesn't provide network connectivity out of the box. No problem with CGI, though.

>Agency is more important than software freedom. The FSF's problem is precisely their blind focus on "software freedom" when the definition of "software" can't even be precisely defined any more, to the detriment of everything else that affects users

your refusal to accept FSFs right to adhere to its principles is bordering on the extreme. yet you constantly lob insults toward them as an organization. it does not help your points at all. they obviously hold different values to you. i think FSF is ok as long as they are clear about what they are doing and they are not trying to trick anyone. you have done absolutely nothing to demonstate otherwise in this whole exchange and instead you keep slinging FUD. i will repeat my question that i have asked so many times: has GNU or FSF anywhere claimed that they take a security-centric approach? as far as i know they have always taken a free-software approach. that they refuse to bend their principles to infantile screams is a big plus in my books
you can't copy MIT-licensed files without crediting it either.

And you can statically link GPL code, assuming you release the source to all app users. You might be confusing it with LGPL, which says you can link to proprietary apps dynamically, but have to release source in all other cases.
Maybe it's worth reminding that a ship in the middle of the ocean is often much farther away from any other human beings than the astronauts on the ISS, and that sending a rescue mission from ashore to fix a leaking pipe would take a long time and a great amount of fuel.
Therefore it makes sense to have at least a few people onboard for basic servicing.

Also maybe worth remembering that once close to the departing or destination harbour, any large cargo ship met with the harbour pilot team who goes onboard and take responsibility for manoeuvering the ship, so no ship would be unmanned the full course of its journey anyway ; only the easier, longer part.

20 years ago I pirated because it was difficult to access movies, TV and music I want. I spent the last 10 years paying to stream the majority of it, rarely pirating. Now in Australia there are 7+ streaming services content is split over. I'd be happy to pay, but the differing experiences of player, quality control, user management etc across all, I find myself pirating again for the same reasons as 20 years ago. Sonarr + Radarr + Bazarr + Jellyfin creates a workable solution again.
Back in the day of learning sound engineering I had to learn to splice tape for a year and use the analog studios before we were allowed to use the digital studio. I am not sure I learned anything specifically that made me a better engineer but I really really enjoyed the analog workflows, even though they were so slow and painful you really needed to think ahead and be mindful.
We as a society kind of do this all the time. We bail out the banks with billions, then let some poor people starve. Also in the general case, I'm quite surprised that people don't get fed up with the government acting against their interests.

Since it's a one time cure, I think the 1mio price was reasonable. At least compared to 10+ multiple day hospital visits. This was just the government fudging their negotiation.
Its not totally different - cc-by-sa is pretty similar in spirit to gfdl with no cover text, non-derrivative sections etc.

Of course practically speaking, being able to legally print out a wikipedia article without printing out the entire gfdl is a pretty big difference. To the point where i am aware of people licensing photos under gfdl to claim its open source while in practise its impossoble to reuse practically.

I mean your point still stands that its weird to release a new license just for wikipedia.
key is "as long as everyone agrees"
Also there is more to air than it's temperature. I like a cool breeze even if the ambient temperature isn't overly warm.

It helps you stay focused, when it's too warm or the air is stale people get sleepy.

I posted this elsewhere but feel it's relevant here too.

I don't thing there is a more "correct" representation. Representing it as a string is equaly correct. Blockchain or banking often represents money as an integer with the smallest divisible unit (cent, or satoshi), but it is not applicable here because there is no smallest divisible unit.

I think rolling your own license is like rolling your own crypto: just say no.
The approach should be digital knobs, which work relative to their setting and roll-through endlessly magnetically. So software can react, but user is in control.
The worst change in recent years is kitchen plates all having these horrible touch systems or magnetic detachable knobs.
It's horribly slow in usage, monster learning curve, locking systems which all behave differently, fails when wet. It's so over-designed and over-engineered. It's so bad. Just provide a knob for **'s sake and when you turn it right, it turns on.
I drove my bike through the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. The only country with good cycle paths is the Netherlands. In France I even ended up on the highway because the road just changed. And I had the same experience as you in Germany. It's dangerous to cycle next to cars who are driving 90km/h.
My personal best has been 214km in 18 hours (Alaybey, Malkara to Taksim Square, Istanbul), the very last leg of my 13k+ ride between Lisbon and Istanbul. Can't imagine what it takes to ride 900km, seems to require superhuman strength
Looking at the release docs it’s a smallish release. But I’m very happy something is still going on there. HTTPD has been my go to web server for years and I had used it so many times in production as a proxy/gateway. Always reliable.

I know that everyone uses nginx now and that in the end it has more scalable - event based architecture. But for my scale httpd was never a bottleneck.

It’s just like an “old friend” you can always rely on.
>It’s like buying a car with tires that last 50k miles, but if you want to replace them you have to cut off the entire drivetrain and weld on a new one.

I think that car manufacturers can borrow a lot of bad ideas from IT: not being able to own a car, instead just renting it from the company, artificially gimping it and requiring a sum of money to "unlock the features".

Means they recover non through this drug and recover all RD through other drugs.

And let's not forget that this business often operates with sickeningly huge profit margins.
By all means, automate! If there are not enough jobs, people will either create BS jobs (which are usually decently paid, being outside the spotlight of corporate optimization), or they will revolt and push for basic income (and robot tax). Either way, society will be better off.
The business model of companies like this is preying on people that don't pay on time. How are you defending such a scummy practice? It's preying on poor people that don't know better. I've seen family and friends get fucked by these companies.

The "thanks to us, they can now afford Christmas" excuse is what the sociopathic executive of a loan shark company uses to justify its existence.

How so? As soon as you have to trust someone, you've lost the only benefit of blockchains and using one would only give the terrible performance characteristic of those for no benefit.

> As noted above, I'm skeptical that this right exists in Australia.

The right to control the integrity of one's work is a Moral Right, and moral rights fall outside of copyrights in Australia. A very basic introduction is here [0].

Granting the use of a work in perpetuity is permitted, but revoking that perpetuity is also permitted and cannot be limited.

> But if it does, the worst that would happen is that a person's contributions would need to be removed from Linux.

In the example I gave, Linux wouldn't need to make that change, as the revocation only occurred for a single sublicensee. The Foundation might choose to make that change, but they also might not.

> because you'd need a dev with plenty of wealth to pay lawyers, who also really hates some company beyond any practical economic extent, and also contributed a lot to Linux as a private individual. I don't know how many of that type of person you're going to find.

Individuals like Richard Stallman? He may not have direct wealth, but he has the means to obtain it. And the ideology necessary to become a thorn in the side of a particular corporation if he so chooses.

I love how casually you're bragging about “delivering money laundering and corruption to the masses”. I sincerely hope you end up in jail some day.
> Unions don't...

You then go on to describe how they necessarily assume an adversarial role. Trying to link the fall in union popularity with the class divide is laughable... look to the change in Fed monetary policy and the point at which cash gets injected into the economy - that is where the gulf occurs: access to funny money financial instruments and the transfer of purchasing power from the base of the power structure to the very top through inflation.
I would prefer neither, thanks.
>In the years since they refused the $1M price tag in an attempt to drive a hard bargain, the national governments and private insurance companies have no doubt spent more than $1M per patient they refused to buy a dose for.

I wouldn't make the assumption on that, given the disease is potentially deadly. I would more likely make the assumption that the private insurance companies especially did the math and figured they end up a couple hundred thousand ahead in the most likely scenarios. But I'm prone to cynicism.
