I was wondering how Eyeo prevailed, given the "no derivative works" aspect of copyright law. They mention an interesting distinction I've never run across before in copyright:

> The final 2021 Hamburg court decision, as successfully defended by eyeo, establishes that there is a limit to copyright after which the website author can no longer assert any right of retention. This limit boundary exists between the code provision level and the code execution level.

The article doesn't go into much detail beyond this, sadly.

It's a bit odd to me that they focus so much on HTML. Presumably they would apply similar logic to JavaScript and CSS, but they didn't mention them.
Unsure. His voting record indicates that he is anti-authoritarian, but the telegraf tells me he is pro-authoritarian.

He has publicly clashed with the powers that be about increasing police powers.

But I don’t have a clear answer for your question, especially as he has many supporters who might not vote along his own lines.

What are you suggesting Alan Moore might really believe about adolescent girls and sex?
I'm pretty basic with my Git knowledge. I can merge, rebase, reflog, and the other basic things. However, even I know the difference between reset, revert, restore, and generally use them daily.

Now, I generally do not remember many of the extra arguments that can be passed apart from 'reset --hard/--soft', 'git log --stat/--oneline --decorate', etc.

Personally I've found git complicated when I've worked at a place with bad 'git' discipline. When I've worked at companies with sane branching agreements, etc. I rarely face problems.
Networking through cash-starved open source projects doesn't seem like a great idea.

> Probably you don't actually have to work for free either because there are some open source projects with funding.

It's not so easy to get that funding. Even founders of projects can't get adequate funding. A one-off "drive-by" contributor will not typically be compensated at all.
I mean with everyone jumping for joy on this news, this is Microsoft's 2022 definition of "Extinguish". It's clever but a reheated version in the 1990s, with a new twist:

1. Buyout the company / developers and they now report to Microsoft.

2. Use a subscription model (game pass) to reduce and undercut the game, SaSS price close to free.

3. Sell the game on other platforms for the RRP.

In the case of software like GitHub, the best tools are now free forever on a near unlimited scalable cloud which many competitors cannot compete with, especially free. Squeezing the competitors to reduce prices and exit entirely. (Extinguish)

OpenAI is next up on this.
Some of the ramen restaurants I've been to in the US do feature different regional ramens.
Google Photos has been a lifesaver. Photos my wife takes are automatically shared between us.

If we have pics from someone else, I usually create an album and ask them to upload their pictures there. Not everyone does it - some people just share over SMS and then it's likely those pictures will get lost.
I’ve recently incorporated exactly this into my journaling routine and find it a delight to look back on. At the end of the day I’ll be sure to write down one or two perfectly run-of-the-mill, but joyful things that happened to me, or that I noticed that day.

For example meeting a particularly friendly dog on the metro, a peculiar piece of graffiti, or just something a friend said that I found particularly funny.

It’s these small little moments that when stitched together over time that make up a “life well lived” in my opinion, much more so than setting large lofty goals or striving for doing “memorable” things.
I live about 10 minutes from the Campbell's headquaters. Every one I know has grown tomatoes at least once in their life. As a kid I remember my cousins having the "Campbell's tomato seeds" as if it were a big secret. This was before we had the internet to just look this stuff up.

Crypto.com Says Alleged $15M Hack Was Just an 'Incident'
> I am not in favor of banning E2E, by the way. It’s just that the claim that E2E puts children at risk should be met with a carefully considered factual response that respects the intelligence of people who are genuinely concerned about child sex abuse, rather than this reflexive ironic cry of “think of the children!”.

Yes, we should all argue properly ... If only politicians were educated enough about the things they try to push or prevent, they could actually do that. Anyway, even if we discussed this properly, it would only answer half the question. The other half is: "Are children safer without that E2E encryption?" Most likely not, as they themselves send each other pictures and stuff, which can then be intercepted by some people. Everything they communicate using their spy phones, ah sorry, I meant "smart phones" of course, at their young age of -- well, what age? maybe 6 or 7? Or even younger? -- will be potentially up for grabs.

And then that is only the question about children. That is one tiny speck of the whole picture, which is not discussed.

So yes, we should argue this properly, but also we should then open up the whole debate about society as a whole. There is a huge debate to be had there, before anyone should even consider making any decisions.
> I've got some SQLite-backed business services that can transact an entire user request (which involves many database interactions) and then already be returning a final HTTP response in the amount of time it takes PostgreSQL to complete this one example query.

So? My in-memory hashmap can do all that in a fraction of the time it takes SQLite to do its thing. Does that mean that hashmaps are superior to SQLite?

SQLite is a different database with a different concept, different goals, different guarantees, different capabilities, and different tradeoffs than PostgreSQL. Choose the best tool for the job. Sometimes it's a hashmap, sometimes it's SQLite, and sometimes it's PostgreSQL.
I guess it's just business at the end of the day, but IMHO this model in the end could not be the best for consumer after all.

For example tv streaming, where if your favorite movies/tv series maybe spread over dozen services and you need to pay subscription to all of them. Or it could happen that copyrights get bought by different providers and thus migrate from service to service. I will not be surprised if piracy will have a comeback for movies or tv-series.

So with gaming it will either be the same (too many providers to choose from), or reverse - if you'd like to play AAA title, you will be locked in with Microsoft.
I think that there is a bit of a disconnect in those that work on systemd. I agree that a revert makes sense in this case. Most people who will suffer real catastrophic breakage are also NOT usually using rolling-release or bleeding edge systems. This does, in fact, give a small window of time to issue this revert without causing massive harm. I also don't really see much toxicity in this discussion, instead just people arguing points.
If anything though the speed we are able to adapt is what is interesting.

In my own life I think of the sitcom "Head of the Class" as a kid. Basically, painted "nerds" and computer geeks as highly sexually undesirable. All signaling was that this is what not to do to get laid.

Didn't even take 25 years for that to essentially be reversed to the point of a computer geek being a type of peacock feather to flaunt and strut around.

IMO the point we are maladjusted for the environment we live in is highly overblown.
South Australia sets smashing new renewables record in final days of 2021
This closes, beginning 2022, a huge loophole (reporting omission) that has existed for the last several years. IRS Form 1099-NEC & 1099-MISC reporting did not include credit card or other 3rd party payment processor payments, while Form 1099-K also didn't include them unless relatively high thresholds were reached.

Now, many more such payments will be reported, encouraging more taxpayers under the U.S. system of "voluntary compliance" (self-reporting attested to under penalty of perjury) to be honest.
What platform does Nintendo support ? It has always been like that.
I'd say Sega's floundering indicated the opposite, despite a huge portion of that being own goals. I don't see any fundamental reason the market couldn't have been a duopoly.

And, to the GP point of crediting Spencer, there weren't even many synergies to exploit with a Microsoft console in the first XBox generation. It certainly didn't "integrate" with Windows in any way that made you more likely to buy it over alternative consoles.

AFAICT (as someone who doesn't spend much time console gaming now), its success was essentially built on the back of (1) access to capital, (2) savvy exclusives, (3) intelligent acquisitions, (4) avoiding missteps in hardware refreshes, and in later generations (5) strength of social platform. So, props where props are due, because 4/5 of those are skill. Especially while no doubt having to fight an internal battle against all the other Microsoft political power centers.
I have always used it for unprivileged containers, and I remember using it as such in 2016. IIRC both podman and rootless docker are much more recent.
Sorry I should have been clearer. As far as I am aware, the M1 is still better at perf/watt (again, comparing TSMC 5 to 7, so it’s not unexpected) - for laptops, the M1 also has an extremely low idle power draw that I don’t think anyone else can match right now, which significantly improves battery life. I meant comparable single-threaded performance in a laptop form factor.
I use a NAS, raspberry pi, and s3 with the following workflow:

Photos are imported from SD card using a script. This script creates a new directory, captures some metadata, copies the photos in and creates thumbnails. This directory is rsynced to the NAS then encrypted, compressed and sent to s3. Nightly, from another location a raspberry pi with a large encrypted disk rsyncs the entire NAS.

All viewing and editing of photos is done against the NAS, and any changes are picked up nightly by the pis. The s3 copy acts as an immutable original.

is there not an additional level added with mental abstractions?

e.g. i blast it at the gym (i dont actually but play along ;)) and i build an abstraction of life that that is part of. the fact that the abstraction has limitations is irrelevant. we dont process the real world we process our learned abstracctions of it.

Yea, Docker is crazy to me. I can never understand people who think it's awesome or something. It's awful.

Of course, if you're doing somethign in Python/Ruby/Node.js then it's useful because these language do not provide a reliable method to compile source code into an independent program/application.

But that does not make it "awesome" or anything. It's just a band-aid. It's an extra layer to hide fundamental design problems.

With Go, the root problem is solved: the language has a compiler that reliably produces statically linked binary executable programs.

(Very) old school: you get a multi-TB disk of some sort, doesn't have to be fast or high quality.

Back up the media to that disk, and then take it down to your safe deposit box. No absurd monthly fees, no Terms of Service, it's off-site so if your house burns down, you're covered.

"Your what?" Yeah, the banks still have those. Mine costs $15 a year. If you die, your next-of-kin will have to bring in a death certificate to get access to it. They'll have lots of other hassles, believe me.

Forget being trendy and having it in the cloud. How often are you going to access it? "Never", right?

You do have to go in every few years and replace it with the latest & greatest, and you'll probably have more media to backup anyway.

Of course, tech companies never get breached and are exceptionally good at protecting our emails, passwords, credit reference data, and sensitive internal emails of political parties and campaigns, so there's clearly no risk whatsoever of your messages getting published on the internet in the future.
I use a NAS for backing up my photos I take on my camera (i.e. my Lightroom catalog.) I also back these photos up to Backblaze B2. I use Duplicati for this.

On my phone however, I simply send my photos to Google Photos. Actually, Lightroom exports end up there too. This makes it easy to see and share photos with family and friends.

I would love to hear how you view and share your photos using your NAS. Are you using something like OwnCloud or NextCloud? Or does Synology offer this type of software built-in?

This doesn't seem accurate. For example, The Dixie Chick backlash involved listeners calling radio stations and telling them to blacklist their music[1]:

> The Dixie Chicks were blacklisted by thousands of country radio stations. On May 6, Colorado radio station KKCS suspended two DJs for playing their music. WTDR-FM in Talladega, Alabama, dropped the Dixie Chicks after more than 250 listeners called on a single day to complain about Maines's comments.

That's not to mention the baying for blood that happened in the early 2000s when anyone came out against the Iraq War[2].

No. It's not.

Apple is not obligated to invest into building Apple Music app on Android or Windows. Just because Apple tied Apple Music into their own ecosystem, doesn't mean you are owed anything.
This is actually an area where I think Sony has dropped the ball; PS Now is an interesting service, and they have a pretty interesting catalog of older games from the PS2/PS3 era. But they don't advertise it well enough, and I don't think they put enough focus on new releases and keeping them available the way Microsoft does with Gamepass.

Russel's teapot.

If I claim Russel's teapot doesn't exist, the burden of proof is on you to prove it exists if you disagree with me, not me, because the set of claims that are so poorly defined and unlikely as to make it an unjustified burden to expect anyone to caveat the claims to make them technically correct is infinite - someone who makes an extraordinary claim without being able to provide a justification therefore needs to be prepared to take on the burden of proof.

I equally claim that santa doesn't exist, and yet will insist the burden of anyone disagreeing with my claim lies on them, not on me, even if I make the initial claim, for exactly that reason.

In this case the claim that free will does not exists puts the burden on those who disagree *because nobody here or otherwise* have presented a definition of free will that most people would agree to, not least because without narrowing the scope with a definition I have the freedom to apply whichever definition I prefer, and I have several places in this thread.

E.g. I'd argue that "free will" would require an entity to be able to do something which cannot be explained by the combination of determinism and randomness. Given we're unaware of any kind of processes that can produce outputs that are not either deterministic or random modulated by some sort of probabilistic distribution, to claim that a process that can produce such an output exist is an extraordinary claim that would give you a Nobel in physics if you could demonstrate it.

As such: Russel's teapot.

I'd love to be wrong. I'd love for someone here to come up with a definition of free will that overcomes that problem, as if so I'd be witnessing a revolution in philosophy surpassing anything we've seen in centuries.

Just like I'd be delighted to be wrong when I say that santa doesn't exist, but I do believe I'm far more likely to be proven wrong about santa than free will, given that people can at least come up with definitions of santa that are somewhat coherent if unlikely.
Off topic, but never underestimate the read performance of an SQLite database with all of its indexes warm in the page cache. :)
This is the earliest source that I was able to find. Similarly, my brother's colleague's years old knee pain went away after covid vaccine. He said he heard other similar stories but they are second hand references.

I am interested in if there are any other similar stories and if it's something being looked into.
Salmon and Bannock was on my very short must-do list when I visited Vancouver (bonus: it's near a construction site for the new Broadway subway line). It's more of an indigenous-inspired fusion menu sourced from indigenous-owned suppliers, but that pretty much matches the wider picture. The only cultures that are not dynamic and adaptive are dead cultures.

I would go there again. Book a table in advance, they only have 4 of them.

> All 100% memory safety, and yet security is still a thing.

And nobody has ever claimed that memory safety is the only thing that matters with security, but it’s definitely high on the list. Can you imagine how much more of a nightmare NPM would be if JavaScript weren’t memory safe? This is the relevant counterfactual.

> Zig is an order of magnitude safer than C, much closer to Rust actually, and more so in some areas

Hard disagree. It’s definitely safer than C, (in terms of UB) but you can tell it’s not even close to Rust on a number of axes (yet?): https://scattered-thoughts.net/writing/how-safe-is-zig/

As for integer overflows, I don’t think they are nearly as big a security concern in a memory safe language with bounds checking. Feel free to correct me though.
Are you saying it's a good thing that Comcast was able to break up an upstart competitor? I'm not sure a world where that's easier would have fewer monopolies to today. Even in your example the large and established company was suing the upstart.
It's really a bit of everything. Some like Fuji, Hyundai, or Toyota, I believe have been historically diversifying across several different markets.

Sony did expand on some fronts via acquisitions, e.g. Sony Electronics acquiring Konica-Minolta, Sony Electronic Entertainment acquiring several studios, etc.
Well, basically all the author did was rediscover reinforcement learning, but with a bit of additional heuristics in how to do epsilon-greedy exploration. I bet 50/50 that the algorithm will work with some tuning and training time, but I doubt what the author said can be extended to anything much more complex than those these simple OpenAI Gym experiments.

The problem I have with their argument is a lot more philosophical: it all boils down to the validity of the reward hypothesis (http://incompleteideas.net/rlai.cs.ualberta.ca/RLAI/rewardhy...), and how we even define “intelligent” behavior. I’ve written another comment somewhere in this thread for more detail.
Another excelent post with very detailed explanation and step by step information for GPS. Check out also the other posts by Bartosz.
Honestly I still dont quite get it. The FCC allocated 3.7 to 3.98Ghz for cellular wireless. Then there is 20Mhz of guard band to 4.0GHz. Then there is satelite from 4.0 to 4.2GHz. And then, finally, the altimeter fequency band from 4.2 to 4.4GHz.

So the two uses appear quite far apart in the frequency domain. Do signals get sent out on the wrong frequency or something? What does it mean to interfere? And, assuming something bad is happening, why?

You know that ever growing library of unplayed games that all steam users have? Game Pass is that, but instead of paying for games individually you pay a low fixed rate, and it includes many hot new releases that are still full price elsewhere.
For what it's worth I agree with you that there should be a legal mandate for game companies to make their online servers available for public download once the official servers get shut down.

For the time in-between though... self-hosted servers are a niche market, and that is why companies don't care any more. Not enough players care to justify the expense, and ever since Hot Coffee and school shooters game companies have gotten pretty paranoid about moderation and fighting modders or bad press from raging cheaters. Again, there is no hope for the industry to fix that on their own, this is something that must be done by law.
With that hardware and software even $400 seems a complete rip-off.
