> >Paramount claims copyright ownership of Klingon

> Well, sorta.

Paramount definitely claims copyright on the “Klingon” glyphs from various ST properties that fans have mapped to the language described in The Klingon Dictionary (which is newer than the glyphs), so as far as those glyphs and any derivative works are concerned – what both the Unicode Consortium and any font makers would be concerned with – Paramount’s copyrights are a problem.

Whether they own the language beyond that may be a murky legal question, but it is also beside the point.

(And, actually, what your source supports is that Paramount definitely claims ownership of Klingon, the other party in the case disputed it, and the court found that they didn’t need to decide the issue to resolve the case. That is in no way a “sorta” on “Paramount claims copyright ownership on Klingon”. That a third-party seeking to file an amicus brief against Paramount’s claim on that point chose to do a victory dance because they were told to go away because the issue they were concerned with was ultimately not material to the resolution of the case is…interesting spin, but not much else.)
I'm not exactly sure what the pedant in you is getting at here. Unionizing isn't going to suddenly give the workers their "income and extant economical benefits of these jobs" without working the job.

Obviously people would rather get paid and not have to work, but that's not relevant to the context.
Isn't it the opposite? The public auction went to the highest bidder.

It turns out this spectrum is far more valuable for terrestrial use ($81billion paid for it) than it was for satellite use. So the satellite users are being kicked off it since they couldn't pay that amount.
Electric vehicles are not that much quieter than ICE vehicles. At high speeds, the dominant noise component is from the tires against the roads, not the engine. At low speeds, they are intrinsically quiet, but many (all?) jurisdictions legally mandate a noise-making device so that pedestrians can hear them coming. They are comparably expensive to own and operate as ICE vehicles. It is also a myth that they do not emit unhealthy pollutants, see this paper:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13522...

Then there's still the direct mortality from collisions with pedestrians and cyclists, and things like obesity from encouraging a sedentary lifestyle. I think future generations will look at car-dependency in general as ridiculous, whether ICE or electric.
Ah yes, fear uncertainty & doubt. The number one, two, and three arguments (not necessarily in that order) against progress & the better.
I found this to be true for a long time, but these days you have something like Fork which is much lore user friendly and FAST! We used to use Sourcetree, which is an abomination in comparison.

I always use(d) the terminal, but Fork is the first time I am considering using a GUI as my main tool.

Granted I haven't had to do anything complicated yet with it, so I don't know if it supports it, but I love it for the basic day-to-day tasks that I do 100's of times a week.
Ive made multiple 4-5 word queries looking for specific information ive found before and will be presented with 1-3 pages of results. What happened? I remember always getting g o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o g l e pages and pretty much always being able to go to the 30th "O". I find it hard to believe the internet is now smaller than it was in mid 2000s

Plenty of technical topics where i get better results from duck duck go (and i dont even like it)
Twitters Revenue/Employee Headcount (not counting any contractors) is currently around 636k/employee. As far as FAANG companies go Twitter has an over bloated workforce.
> A white collar programmer has more in common with a janitor than with a CEO.

As someone who grew up lower-class and now makes six figures in tech, I don't think this is true.

There's a world of difference between a janitor and a white-collar programmer. A janitor worries paycheck-to-paycheck and has to consider every purchase, constantly lives in stress of a large unexpected expense, and so on, it's just vastly different.

A programmer, like a CEO, has none of those concerns. Who cares if the CEO has earned enough for a bigger mansion or a more prestigious car?

At some point (lower than most expect), money offers diminishing returns. A difference of +$100k/year will take care of most of Maslow's hierarchy and have you set for life unless you're financially irresponsible.
> So there is a chance “that’s beautiful” means that the person showing him the painting is beautiful?

No, but I think the choice of adjective is important.
Suppose instead of saying "That's a beautiful painting" I said "That's a masterful painting".

The sentence structure is the same. The adjective is still modifying "painting". I'm still saying the painting is good. But the word I chose more directly implies a judgement of the artist: I am describing the painting as the product of a master painter.

I get the same impression from hearing "stupid idea". Stupid is a description of intelligence, thinking ability, aptitude: attributes which lie with the idea's originator, not with the idea itself.
tbh I think the staging area (and popularizing local branches) may be git's greatest contribution. being able to selectively build a commit is a game-changer for creating understandable histories, and stopping local-tweak "leakage".

distributed VCS is neat and all, but the vast, vast majority of cases have a canonical source-of-truth repo somewhere, and the rest are effectively just private mirrors. for those cases, distributed is mostly a significant source of complexity rather than capability. though it is significant to have an "escape hatch" when you need it.

My go to for light field cameras would probably be this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEMP3XEgnws

It explains the specifics of how light field cameras work quite well, but doesn't go too deep into light fields.
For more of an overview of light fields in general, I can recommend this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXdKVisWAco

My answer to your question would be that light field cameras sample discrete perspectives from a 4D light field. These samples can either be 1) combined directly (requires a very high view density) 2) interpolated to try to recover the continuous 4D light field function (this is an active area of research), 3) downsampled to volumetric 3D (Google's approach with "Welcome to light field" etc.), or 4) downsampled to 2D + depth (a depth map)

Each of these use different methods.
> But that's not what's being discussed. "That's stupid" is referring to something being stupid, not someone.

What I meant is that people don't only ever say you're stupid by super-directly saying "you're stupid". "That's stupid" is not a big leap. Yes, context is key to interpretation.
I've used IPFS[1] to store and host files completely separate from cryptocurrency. IPFS is a major backbone of Web3 tech, and is responsible for enabling much of the current NFT craze because IPFS is free. The same company that made and maintains IPFS also created Filecoin, and the fact that the two are completely separate projects to the point where I can and have used IPFS for free without having any knowledge of or owning any Filecoin speaks volumes.
Judging from some view of the Web3[2] stack, I can create a decentralized application that exists entirely through p2p storage without ever actually having to incorporate a blockchain or cryptocurrency, and this can still be considered Web3 technology.

This! Also, tone and general behaviour matters. I think many comments here mistake this beautiful article for advice to use words like this.

I’ve read both his biographic books multiple times, read into the Feynman Lectures and watched many an interview and other stuff with and about him.

If I’d ever gotten to meet him (he’s a top candidate on my “if you could have dinner with any person, living or dead” list) and he’d have called an idea of mine stupid, I’m pretty sure that my reaction wouldn’t have been to be hurt. I would have hoped for him to explain to me why it’s stupid or give me a hint on where to look to find out for myself. Context matters. Character matters.

Don’t call people stupid. Don’t call things (or ideas) stupid unless you can explain what’s stupid about the thing or idea and why.

If you’re passionate about something, try to appreciate when someone tells you, without euphemism, why it won’t work.

If anyone has an idea on how one could get to travel back and meet him, we can find out together why it’s stupid. Or “impossible” :)
>Well, to be fair, even the "positive" information here seems quite a bit broader than the "negative" information. Like, "war" is a very broad topic on its own.

war is broader than gender? Everyone has the latter.

I don't think I would agree that war is a broader issue than generational issues, since generational issues might be different from generation to generation but war tends to be a pretty well known subject.

Hey this show is about war, ok I know what that is, and this show is about generational issues - ok what's that about then? In short, I do not agree that war is a broader issue than at least two of the mentioned issues. Not sure about race but if I were to guess I'd say war is probably broader - given that race is not a real thing and thus dealing with race must in fact be dealing with racism.
Likely few potential customers really needed the features it offered. X11 support only made sense if you had Unix around already, and if that was the case, you were probably investing in Unix workstations anyways?

The workstation market was hot around then. Even Atari and Commodore tried to bring out lower end 68020 & 68030 Unix workstations. Until Windows 95 and NT rolled out it seemed like maybe the future belonged to Unix. But that didn't pan out, really, not til later anyways.

Re: price $275 in 1992, it seems: https://techmonitor.ai/techonology/quarterdecks_desqviewx_du...

So not cheap, but not insanely priced.

But in 1993 I was also installing Linux for free on my 486. And I even had a working X11 environment.
Looks like a sane decision to finally communicate to the public that they are not sunsetting swarm mode. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite grasp if they are going to develop it in the open, with only the enterprise UI/management features being closed, or it is going to be a closed source development.

Your argument cuts both ways - why not just have a bot that likes and comments on the videos that you want to push. So now by your logic, we should BAN all likes and comments. So now nothing means anything, and YouTube will just tell us if a video is good or not.

Doesn't sound like a great plan. How about Google re-instates the Dislike button and works harder to filter out the bots. i.e. Don't harm the product and the UX.
Fwiw if you want to do any sort of FX whatsoever or accept credit cards, you need access to the American banking system.
The other thing is that China is unlike any other peer oponent the US has geared up to fight. They aren't only high-tech, they are also assymetrical. If the US builds another massive carrier strike group, the Chinese will build two hundred antiship hypersonic missiles (whether ballistic or otherwise). If the US builds 100 bombers to deliver a thousand stealthy cruise missiles, the Chinese will use their satellites to detect them taking off and retreat their ships to within range of mainland air defences and integrate the ships air defences to form an air defence system far surpassing anything else outside of Russian (the Chinese use basically the same air defence systems on their ships and on land). Good luck overwhelming the equivalent of 50 air defences brigades all working together. The US spends a hundred billion dollars on super stealthy submarines? No problem, build ten times as many small drone submarines and put high powered sonars at the bottom of the sea beyond the reach of any torpedoes and use active sonar as much as you want without risking any sailor or high value equipment, then keep your ships behind this perimeter. If the US is going to fly advanced stealth fighters, you don't meet them with your own plane for plane, you build super long range missiles and high altitude stealth interceptors to lob them at support aircraft before they can be detected, then bomb the shit out of wherever they took off from before they can re-arm, while blunting the first strike with an air defence system they'll take days to disable.

Because China is only going to fight in its backyard it doesn't have to fight ship for ship and plane for plane like the Soviets or the Germans. It wants to bring the US to fight it in the worst possible place and then beat it assymetrically using every conceivable advantage.
Man I would love to really get into either, but I have a 9-6 in the Bay Area and the one "workshop" weekend class I took was about tool use. It's really difficult to get into anything in a serious way, but any tips about somewhere in the Bay that really gets you into "carpentry" or into "woodworking" on weekends would be excellent!
I'll have to give it a try - I'm not opposed to GUIs, I've just had consistently bad experiences :)

Could you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand. The main issue that UDP solves in game networking is being able to send/receive out-of-order messages, which will be possible with WebTransport datagrams.
>I doubt Amazon has many towers of their own

Their offering page specifically says that AWS "delivers your network hardware (small cell radio base-station and servers) Attach power and internet connectivity to smart cells and servers"

They are not using telco partnerships here, or at least if they are, it's not on the level of carving out a chunk of the telco network for private use.

I struggle to see how this remains a "cloud" offering rather than a hardware rental.
I got off all Apple products when they showed me their privacy stance is little more than marketing during the CSAM fiasco, but IIRC the trouble with iCloud backup is it stores the private key used to encrypt your iMessages backup. Not ideal to be sure, but wouldn't iMessage users be well protected against dragnet surveillance, or do we know that they're decrypting these messages en masse and sharing them with state authorities?
I think most of the creative energy of building things quickly rightly goes into game jams because they offer the potential of UX creativity, rapid iteration and a joyous product at the end. Coding up a web app can be fun but the output product is almost always business-y and I'd much rather play a dozen games in order to vote, than blank-slate setup a bunch of web apps.

That’s the world’s richest person demonstrating willingness to go to some lengths just to get the last word in against some random webcomic author. Yes, I can totally believe they’d be petty enough to complain about online snark to someone’s employer. Doesn’t mean it necessarily happened, but it wouldn’t be that far out of character if it did.
It sounds like you are trying to filter out unsafe hobbies?

Electricity can be done carefully and safely - just know your limits. I'd recommend at least getting comfy replacing outlets and switches. If you want to go one step further, light fixtures are also not too bad. Basically, anything where you just disconnect one widget from between two wires, and replace it with a different widget is fair game for most people. I call someone if I need new wires run or need to touch the main panels, though.

Likewise, woodworking is not as safe as most people think. Saws can bite you, as can drills, routers, etc... even rough edges on wood, or flying chunks of wood when you are teaching your 14 year old son to build a workbench and he just stands up a piece of wood next to your head and starts up a hand-held belt sander on it without clamping it.

The point being that tools that use electricity can be just as dangerous as the wires that carry the current, so plan accordingly.
Renegade really was the apex of the BBS era.
for signal users this means the messages of course do exist on your phone, which will be the first thing these agencies seek to abscond with once youre detained as its infinitely more crackable in their hands.

as a casual reminder: The fifth amendment protects your speech, not your biometrics. do not use face or fingerprint to secure your phone. use a strong passphrase, and if in doubt, power down the phone (android) as this offers the greatest protection against offline bruteforce and sidechannel attacks used currently to exploit running processes in the phone.

I'm a big fan of Docker-Compose so far because of it's powerful simplicity and it's introducing me to GitOps, Infrastructure-As-Code, and Terraform, all of which I'm really starting to like... and I really hate doing DevOps work.

I think your point is very valid, it has got to be simple and increase productivity instead of impede it. Using something better but getting stuck in the minutia every day is a waste, and not something anybody in senior leadership should ever approve.

Thank goodness a lot of companies regularly use it for 2FA.
I've been using VCV Rack since before version 1, and it has consistently been a pleasure to use. The features added to version 2 have just made it even more usable.

Releasing a paid VST version is huge! The way Rack interacts with your DAW is (figuratively) limitless thanks to automation. This also opens up a way for your hardware modular synth to interact more easily with your DAW via Rack. I'm really excited to continue using at, and to see what amazing things the community comes up with.

Last year I released a couple VCV modules under the Hampton Harmonics plugin name. I haven't done anything near as spectacular as some of the other developers contributing to the VCV library, but my experience developing with the API has been great. The update to version 2 for my modules was fairly straightforward (though I know others have had to put a lot more work into it than I have). I wish the documentation were a little more clear and thorough, but the community support is great for anyone interested in diving in. You don't have to have DSP experience either - I don't.

Anyway, congrats to Andrew on the release! I know he's had to put up with a lot of people complaining that it wasn't released earlier, but it's truly amazing what he's accomplished.
Thanks. We're working in something related to faqs and team knowledge bases (already have an initial version of this). The onboarding checklists sound useful as well, noted!

About detecting the online style and messages - the point here is that we don't want DailyBot to be able to read all the messages that a person is sending through the chat, we believe it's important to respect the privacy and avoid processing all that content. Currently, DailyBot can only process direct messages between user and chatbot, or in channels when @DailyBot is mentioned.
Not true.

If there are 9 billion people (just to keep the numbers round), and they all live to 50, then every year 9 billion / 50 = 180 million people die (and the same number are born). But if they all live to 150, then every year 9 billion / 150 = 60 million people die (and the same number are born).
pc market also didn't have much use for X11 then either. i think this even predated xfree86.

would be curious if it actually would work with remote x clients on the unix machines of the time. (assuming they had complete X11 implementations)
Their thinking is too small.. I mean why shouldn't everyone on earth be able to have their own personal symbol? The technical challenge does not seem that insurmountable.

Also it's a business opportunity along the lines of the star name registry.

Then you only have to trust that AMD did not accidentally or intentionally introduce a bug in the system. Remember Spectre? Remember all the security bugs in the Intel management code?

You also have to trust that AMD generated and have always managed the encryption keys for that system properly and in accordance with their documentation.

And are you even sure that you’re actually running on an AMD system? If the system is in the cloud, then it’s hard to be sure what is executing your code.

And are you sure that your code didn’t accidentally break the security guarantees of the underlying system?

I have worked on all these problems in my day job, working on HSMs. At the end of the day there are still some leaps of faith.

Interpolation is bad. Native 60fps is great. It’s kinda hard to describe, but watching 60fps video on YouTube feels like a relief and is very satisfying. It’s immediately obvious when the video is 60fps.
Not only is there some additional network logic to help handoffs go smoothly, there's a lot more complicated business logic going on with cellular APs than home WiFi APs. On top of that, you're going to want to try and control potentially thousands of APs and have them orchestrate and you may not want to rely on RF links to propagate changes.

A home WiFi AP is doing a pretty straightforward relation of SSID to some Ethernet-like network. Anything talking on the Ethernet network addressing a client goes out the radio, things coming from the client to the Ethernet network goes in. Even with this, it can make sense to have the management of these systems centralized, most enterprise systems do this already.

Cellular networking gets a lot more complicated with various APNs and other advanced networking concepts. There is a lot more going on than just doing a handshake, pulling an IP address, and starting to talk networking.
