It's definitely in a gray area because the AI models are essentially compression engines that encode the code samples/data into the weights of the matrices that represent the ML model and then "uncompress" it to serve queries. I think it would be easy to argue that a compressed data set no matter how illegible would need to conform to the same license as the data set it was encoding but I don't think any lawyer is smart enough to make that case. So at the moment it remains a very convenient loophole for companies that have enough compute to mangle the data set beyond recognition and then use it to their advantage. So this will probably remain a convenient loophole for large companies to sidestep licensing restrictions by encoding whatever data/code they want to use into some neural network and then sell it as AI.

For why these things are essentially mangled compression engines one can take a look at "Hopfield Networks is all you need": https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.02217. It allows representing all modern transformer networks (which is what CoPilot is using) as a bunch of hopfield networks which are essentially memory modules connected in some complicated topology to encode some data set.
Against existential dread maybe? Against awareness of lack of meaning?

Well, no. EU treaties to refer to them as member states.

Hey it's me your younger generations.

Seriously though, I take special pleasure in helping people directly. Giving to charity helps but getting to know people and giving a hand directly is even more rewarding I've found.
The established social media sites have lawyers on retainer and will appeal every single case up to the Supreme Court if necessary, and as slowly as they like, just to slow roll those submitting civil suits.

Opening up user-submitted content sites to civil damages would ensure that the largest social networks are the only ones that can afford to fight these cases in court. Smaller sites would become self-censored, even if they weren’t likely to be a target of a civil suit. This would lead to a further entrenchment of the largest social media sites, as they would go to bat for their users at least some of the time. They have to be seen to support their users, or else they would just find an alternative host that isn’t subject to the jurisdiction of the civil suits.

This whole idea seems like a nonstarter, impossible to implement, and with a laundry list of unintended consequences and is counterproductive to your stated goals of reduced propaganda. Instead of being primarily on centralized social media, fake news would be relegated to smaller fringe sites where it can’t be monitored as effectively as on the larger sites, further contributing to the echo chambers you argue against. Your intentions also seem antithetical to free speech between willing participants freely associating.
Well, since Nadal was let in only a week after he was tested positively and another healthy player processed „because people think he is against vaccination“ that’s the only rational explanation.

BTW, I wish you guys luck in opposing your government. Hope our don’t follow.
One thing that makes me happy to spend more time on backend stuff, is that I get spared this kind of stuff and just keep doing SSR as I have always done, with a little bit of JavaScript when needed.

The irony to see all JavaScript frameworks re-inventing SSR to deal with the performance problems to do everything on the client, specially mobile phones.
> Millions of jobs overall.

And how many of these did he steal out of people's previous places of employment ? E.g. small retail shops, book stores, etc.

Also there is quite a stark difference between employment and meaningful employment. I wouldn't consider being a tiny part of someone's megalomanic daydream a fulfilling place to be.
Ulysses is like a very funny joke that you don't understand. Well, a lot of jokes actually.
How does this work with stuff like fraud prevention or tracking? For example, if you get defrauded, who do you sue?

We may joke all we want about it, but there are still laws in place and we need to respect them.
Yes, even without kids and a relationship, it's a large sum. Large enough that he's probably doing really good professionally.
You send the coins to your other wallet, exactly as if you were sending them to me. Of course you pay a fee to the miners.
Display scaling is only supported by GTK 3 and later, so downgrading to GTK 2 would result in a blurry interface for a lot of users (and not just GNOME users). 1080p or higher resolution laptops and 4K monitors are quite common nowadays.

I can't agree with excluding all GNOME users from using an application, since it's not the fault of GNOME users in general that it's difficult to transition between major GTK versions.
If that can make you feel better, scapegoating has happened everywhere in europe, as well as canada. This is probably the most bizarre aspect of the whole thing (and can only encourage wild speculations): how did everyone loose their mind at the same time, everywhere.
So this is sorta above my pay grade but I think this is a tangential issue.

Even if you are reading exotic data in some parochial format you internally probably wanna use one consistent format. If you have some massive data sets and don't wanna convert on read-in then there are way around that (you can setup a memoization system to convert and cache on as-needed basis). This format should be intuitive and convenient. I proposed a South/East format.. but you're free to choose whatever you want here. But the point is that Lon/Lat is likely never a good choice at this junction. It still has issues and you generally can do better.

At the interface the default we've arrived to as a society Lat/Lon WGS84 :) The merits here are irrelevant. If you want to support other i/o formats then you may. That really depends on your usecases - but they shouldn't map to whatever format you've decided on internally. And even if they did, you probably shouldn't be using Lon/Lat internally anyway
What I’m reading from this with no other context:

Bored and or depressed because of few to no socially engaging connections in life.

Probably amplified by being stuck inside due to the pandemic.

Did some cool stuff in their 20s but realizing they’ve done “nothing” for the past five.

Sounds like it’s time to get on a plane and enjoy an adventure. Meet some fun people, have fun, and enjoy the life you’ve built.

Then when you land home try to transfer some of that energy towards expanding your social circle, maybe go dating, etc.
In German, they are called Längengrad and Breitengrad.
You’re the exception. Out of curiosity, what country is that ?
As someone who has worked long hours to finish difficult homework assignments during my student years, it really annoys me when I get blank submissions corrupted by sites like corruptmyfile.com. Recently, a few colleagues have started grading such files with a zero and will report it to student affairs if the corruption process is extremely obvious.
> i need to be able to browse audio files by any folder structure that i make up myself

VLC can do that.

> remembering the position is a must

VLC generally does that, although not in all cases. (If you select a file from the browse activity, it does resume where you previously stopped. If you select the same file from the current playlist - because you selected the containing directory to play as a whole - then it will start over.
A reboot of the phone, not sure right now.

> a way to slowly fast-forward and back by sliding my finger across the screen with 1-second precision when moving slowly

VLC does that with video, I think ... I hope it'll become available with audio some time. (Customizable rewind/forward buttons have just recently become available, so generally the UI is making progress currently.)

> i also want to track when i listend to a file last so i need some kind of position and last played time stamp somewhere.

This. I want this too. ... as an augmentation to my diary efforts. I created some git issues for feature requests, but apparently it's not really a priority for most people.
Right now VLC has a playback history, but it doesn't show time stamps in the UI.
Maybe the info is stored in some sqlite db and could be extracted from there.
Defence mechanism defines how a person deals with stress and anxiety [1].

For example one common defence mechanism among younger intellectual types is rationalisation [2]. A person might get asked why they don't have children and respond with something like "I don't have the money, today children are so expensive", or "I enjoy my free time too much to be bothered with children", or "there are already too many humans on the planet, I don't want to make the problem worse", etc. But in their subconscious the fact everyone around them starts having children while they don't might silently be causing anxiety. When a person gets older such rationalisations can break down, i.e. "I enjoy my free time too much" might not work when you are 35 and start to feel lonely, so the stress that was once suppressed by a defence mechanism rises up.

That's just my layman's understanding of it.

I wasn't approaching this from a political side at all. Frankly I don't have the domain knowledge to understand what you're trying to say.

The issue I'm referring to is that any advertising-supported platform has an incentive to generate "engagement" and divisive, outrageous content will generate a lot more of it, regardless of whether it's misleading or even completely false.

Politics-wise, the landscape would be much better if all constituents were given a fair, unbiased view of the media "market" not tailored to each individual to generate the maximum level of outrage just to further enrich some assholes. People can still decide which sources to read & trust but at least it's a conscious choice and they are free to look elsewhere, even if only to see what "the other side" reads.
Any Atlassian product. They long stopped giving a f*ck about customers.
I don't see a particular reason to conduct every transaction on-chain, or at least on a public L1. At any rate, I was mostly replying about your login data being public which isn't true.
I think a lot of people suggest Patterns, Principles, and Practises of Domain Driven Design instead.

The Evans book is sort of written backwards, in that it starts with a bunch of powerful tactical tools and people stop reading halfway through which means now all they have is a hammer.

The PPPoDDD book instead starts out with reasoning about when DDD is appropriate and when it's not, to dive into the tactical patterns last, once the other options are eliminated. I think that approach makes much more sense.

After all, most of the skill in a technique consists in knowing when to apply that technique, and, critically, when not to.

The PPPoDDD book also places a heavy emphasis on having productive conversations with businesspeople as a design tool. I think Evans accidentally underemphasises that too.
I've watched a few youtube sailing channels a few years ago. For these people (unlike the billionaire), they're all living on their boats. Basically it's not about the sailing, but about the ability to move around the world (picking and choosing the weather/seasons you want), experiencing new places, being very into water sports and activities etc.

So basically think having your posh penthouse, but moving it around the world.
It's a very tricky book to get a handle on, I must confess I've only made it halfway. I made a sort of "reader's companion" app to try to make sense of some of the esoteric language and references - https://camin.xyz/ulysses-companion/ (not at all mobile friendly)

Full credit goes to John Hunt, The Joyce Project at joyceproject.com for the annotations, I just found that site very tricky to use as I read.
As stated by the original poster... "hate but can't replace"
I wouldn’t even care. The internet always is a shot show when it comes to politics.

It’s the absolute arrogance of the community, pretending that they’re above this at just about any other time.
Web3 is just a baby. It's quite remarkable how much hate it gets for merely having a vision of the world without tech monopolies controlling it. I wonder where that hate comes from.
I'd buy crypto for half of the money and forget about it. Move somewhere cheap but comfy and play computer games and browse the internet and interact with people there for few years till I figure out if there's anything else in this world I'd rather do than enjoy my early retirement from the world of money and relationship chasing.

I'm 43 and doing something similar for last few years, not exactly the same because I had a different starting point than you.

Also try to excercise a bit because this mortal shell is crap.

It might not be for everybody. But once you accept meaninglessness of it all there are huge benefits of having a 100% of your life just to yourself.

I know mentioning crypto will not sit well with many people here but I see it as a retirement plan at the expense of greedy people of this world.
I asked myself the same questions about the world of yachts and this article answered them very well:
https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/the-lonely-life-of-a-yac...

>See, the power of owning a magnificent yacht like that is in how you’re telling the world that you’re beyond buying and selling. You have more money than there is money to have. You’ve transcended. There are no frontiers left for you on dry land
That's a great video addressing many problems of crypto, like

- issues with privacy

- inability to hide data, piracy

- manipulated prices (due to "anonymity")

- bugs in smart contracts, problematic code redeploy

- questionable economy models of NFT games
I wonder how all this Web3 thing works with GDPR, especially with part 17 - "Right to erasure". Seems like if you go down the blockchain route to store any user data, you're pretty much non-GDPR compliant from day 1. I have a feeling the judge will not like the "it's a feature, not a bug" argument...
They will happily return all your bits, with a serving of crow and a realization that PT Barnum was right.
Thanks, I've thought about this. I don't think I have depression, at least not severe, but I definitely am less able to enjoy pleasure as I was many years ago. Even the definition of pleasure, sex, has kind of lost its flavor as I became older.

Do it incrementally, if you can. I started migrating to react by making new components in react and embedding them with ngreact. Yeah, angularjs and not angular, but the concept holds.
I’m surprised you’re happy about the pass. the only thing the pass does is insure the minority of people who didn’t want the vaccine are forced to be vaccinated. I suppose you didn’t have to be forced, so why do you care ?
I quit my job and did something different. Almost 60 now and I'm about to do it again. Don't regret the mistakes you made in the past. Go out and make some new ones while there's still time left.

Oh.. and one of my best job changes was becoming a high school teacher. Think about it.
It's behavior is really well defined and will stop on a syntax error, type error, or some other error that wasn't handled.

Bash on error will just move on to the next line as if nothing ever happened unless you:

set -eu
set -o pipefail
They never really took off as a hand fruit.
Many nations have spent a long time neglecting cybersecurity for infrastructure (critical, semi-, or otherwise). And as with all things 'tech debt' it's a lot more expensive to fix down the line and there isn't the budget/willingness to do it. (I won't be surprised if it's combined with a healthy dose of "hope this doesn't happen to my stuff").

We're going to see more of this in the future (well it's already escalating) and I should expect that this gets woven into the tapestry of modern warfare alongside proxy and economic wars.
Then how will we conduct our transactions?

Right now I use my country's currency, do you want me to go to a mix of currencies like I'm playing some sort of Android free to play game?

That's just adding complexity to my life for no obvious reason.

I can't parse this. It reads like an OCR error; should it read "If I understand him alright, he sets out..."?
I don’t have any real advice for you except to say that you’re not alone and what you’re experiencing is shared by many. I’m turning 34 next week and feel similarly, despite having achieved a lot of “success” in my business life. I too haven’t had a relationship in many, many years and am disillusioned by technology. I miss my 20s and envy the younger generation for many things. My body is getting older and more tired too and my natural optimism is less present these days.

I think there is a natural change that happens around this age as the energy of youth starts to be tempered by the wisdom of age (not meaning to sound lofty, it’s just how it came to my mind). There is an opportunity to start seeking things of more meaning and purpose in life, whether it is through study, career change, creativity/hobbies, mindfulness or spirituality, time in nature, settling down, finding new friends or rekindling old ones, moving on, a different kind of travel, etc - it will be different for everyone. You may also be depressed or burned out, which is a whole other thing (that I could also heavily relate to). But I think it’s not correct for people to offer armchair diagnoses over the internet and you should find out what’s true for you.

People also seem to be recommending travel above all else, but this isn’t always a panacea and is not right for everybody. There can also be real value in staying put and changing on the inside, if that’s what’s true for you.

Good luck out there
Only they weren’t getting caught because the media was censored and nobody knew about it. The people talking about it were dismissed as conspiracy theorists.
Developed countries aren't immune from corruption, the economy is simply big enough that parasites aren't lethal.
I'm sure it'd be a patch of a few lines to make the type specification mandatory on the command line (I would certainly prefer that also), but it comes down to the opinion of the maintainer if that is wanted or not.
Dehumanizing is what people feel about them for whatever reasons. Trying to analyse it deeper by science misses the whole point about feelings.
Come to a rainbow gathering :-) but seriously,try hitching, sleeping outside in your sleeping bag, traveling in "3rd world" countries.... learning spanish while hitching south America or visiting/helping in communities in NZ... maybe a change of direction, more manual, like gardening, helping, might help... on a cynical level , life is pointless , but like a Hollywood film occasionally there are poignant parts that make you glad you were there...

Two home school associations have sprung up in my town and those are working well.
MSNBC and CNN yelling fake "Russiagate" is harmful too. Nobody is asking them to be cancelled!

CNN just hired a guy that made book about fake Saddam Hussein and Al-qaeda connection.

CNN and others where saying Irak has WDM. That's proved to be a bold faced lie. Nobody is asking them to be banned in the cancel culture circles.

It's weird that one podcast host can be the root of evil, but selling a WAR with fake lies is nothing.

EDIT: WAR definitely kills people
Also “parse by buddy” was a host using the open source version with generous free

Have you checked your vitamin D, vitamin B12 levels ? I am 25 and used to feel the same way. Not interested in things, giving up repeatedly on my gf/relationship, playing video games became a chore. I used to sleep less because of the stress of a very shitty job. Overall I felt like shit all the time.

I read on the net that it might be because of a vitamin D deficiency. I took a medical test and it showed me that I was vitamin D and vitamin B deficient. I have started taking supplements for these two and I can already feel the difference after almost two months of taking the vitamins.

Get your vitamin levels checked.
Can someone explain why privacy coins like Monero are not more popular?

There is something going on in the cryptocurrency communities that doesn't reward features that increase privacy and decentralization. Privacy and decentralization should be the core incentives to use cryptocurrencies.
The result looks very pleasing to the eye.
Canvas will not preview contents in zip archives or formats like ipynb.
computer scientists are not programmers. programming is a task that might be done as part of what a computer scientist does.

They don't want it, but I used to run a BBS, and a casino, and a forum, and I was aware I could be held accountable if I furthered the dissemination of something nefarious. Doesn't have to be CSAM, but the worse it is, the worse the penalty would be. It would be a hard pull to sue a provider over simple defamation that way if they did nothing to encourage or re-post it. But should Ron Watkins be made to answer for what's on 8kun? Fuck yea. And if he should, then why not Zuck?

If you want to run a system that amplifies shitheads, you're a shithead, and if they can be sued, so should you be. We're past the point where we need stimulus to encourage people to start message boards by shielding them from liability for what their users post. Again, this isn't an argument for censorship whatsoever, just allowing private parties to apportion blame when aggrieved. So even then, the scale of allowing something on a baby message board is nothing compared to the network effect of Twitter or FB. Let them bear the social costs that they're so desperate to externalize. FB and Twitter made their explosive growth exactly by exploiting their exemption from the thing that closed down publishers, namely, bearing responsibility for the content they publish.
1) Got rid of my second monitor and use just one 27” 4K monitor. My neck feels better and I’m less scatter brained.

2) whenever possible, I try to buy used pro/prosumer/premium things. They will usually last for years and years, be more comfortable/pleasurable in use and will be repairable/maintainable when they do break down.
It doesn't even have to be nature -- I learned a lot about managing complexity from The Death and Life of Great American Cities which is about city planning!

In the end, what matters is not so much the subsidies, but how countries will reach the 55% reduction of green house gasses in 2030.

Of course subsidies have an effect on that. But these effect varies from country to country and from sector to sector.

Of course, calling out countries now that they have high subsidies on fossil fuels will help kicking those countries later if they fail to meet the 2030 objectives.
