I think about my fundamentalist feelings about copyright (between complete abolition and say 20 years like you suggest) and the practical reality of how that would fundamentally change content industries today. For example, I'm thinking of anime franchises, also Disney, etc, who essentially create whole industries out of remakes and repackaging their old IP. Essentially, millions of workers hired to maintain the less creative recreation/maintenance of these IPs would be reshuffled and or lost. Btw, this isn't just creative workers like writers, animators, and the like, but things like merchandise creation, manufacturing, live events, and so on, they'd all be much less of an incentive to maintain a franchise over the mere creation of works that might be separate from each other.

Apart from the business/worker side, the ability for an IP holder to release continuing sequels to works (like manga, movie installments, etc) and the legal force against fan works essentially gives more power essentially to the original creator to shape what is "canon" in their work. Perhaps fans could still decide the original creator's later installments are canon, but the extra legal force sort of makes this defacto, while a world of limited copyright the power of the original creator is less so. Thus, the way fans consume media and experience it will change completely as well.

It would just be a completely different world, one where a lot of these ills are addressed (like the ones mentioned by GP), and things will be very different. It's hard to say from my vantage point whether the differences would also be "ills" or not (and that might be my bias), but it would certainly be a different world with different rules and different expectations from fans and audiences.

This seems to clearly be a passion project. The author is being paid in the satisfaction that he gets in improving this famous game way beyond what the original creators managed to do, all while being bound by the same technical limitations. He also gets to show off his skills to a fairly large (in absolute numbers at least) global audience of people who are also really into this particular game. I doubt you would see someone going to such great lengths for an obscure title that few other people would appreciate or care about.
Have you considered not writing evil AI scripts that will once enslave and strip all of humanity of..um.. its humanity?

Not the A-hole

NTA. I would recommend, however, that you consider the source of your information. I really don't think the "aliens are coming, and they are going to enslave us all, so we might as well be prepared" mindset is going to be a winning one in the long run. I think we need to shift the focus away from "we are going to die, so let's make the best of it while we can" to "we are all going to die, and it's not our fault, so let's make the best of it while we can".

I would recommend, for example, that students learn about the benefits of immunization, and about nutrition, rather than focusing on how to build a homemade bomb, or on what to do in the event of an alien invasion.

I would also recommend that people focus on creating and sharing, rather than on destroying and consuming. We have enough problems in the world as it is; we don't need to make them worse by focusing on things we can't change, but that we affect.

Asshole

YTA. You seem to be under the impression that if you just tweak a few values and push a button, you can create some "Soylent Green-style" superintelligence. It's not going to happen, because the fundamental problem is one of information; for an AI to achieve true intelligence, it would have to have access to all possible knowledge at once - and it's simply impossible for another mind (even given technology, like neural implants) to store all of human knowledge. You haven't even considered what this new consciousness would think or feel, let alone how its particular moral framework might affect things...you just want to give it humanity so it can use that as an excuse to lord over us.

Toss-up

NTA!

You have given precisely zero indication that this would be a problem.

The only thing that has happened is that you have been banned for posting an evil script that enslaves and strips all humanity of their freedom.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you would not actually do this.

But if you did, I would simply stop using your scripts. I would simply not interact with the Singularity at all.

Stuck forever in the issue tracker as "priority: low"
That is all the capacity added together before de-rating. Capacity is de-rated based on how likely it is to produce during a system load peak. So a nuclear plant might be counted as 75% of nameplate to account for outage risk. Renewables are de-rated a lot and by how much changes over time as they make up a larger share of the connected capacity.

California de-rates solar by less than, say, the UK since Cali has a lot of air conditioning load which is coincident with insolation whereas summer days are the low-load periods in the UK.

The capacity before de-rating > capacity after de-rating > highest anticipated load > actual load on a normal day.
One thing mentioned in the video is his memory tricks require the RAM expansion module. Mario 64 being a launch title couldn't have used the RAM expansion. The RAM module came out two years after the console launched if I remember right.
> So, if you think that profit is the problem, how the same company could reward his boss so much that he is one of the richest person in the world?

He's not being "rewarded" as if someone is handing him sacks of cash. He's a shareholder, much as you and I might be. Most people through their 401k, if they own any amount of the total stock market index funds, are also sharedholders of Amazon. If Amazon grows and generates more revenue, the stock price grows, and thus we are "rewarded" for its growth, because we literally own part of the company. Bezos just owns a much larger share because, well, he started the company.

I think the point was more about it being an arms race where nobody ends up better off but just has to work harder and is more stressed.
I read that as you're supposed to loyal right up to the point the company decides to lay you off and you better not think that you have any freedom once you sign on because we will retroactively screw you. The percentages in the typical option pool are not going to move the needle anyway and those employees that served the company early on took far greater risks than those that did so later and probably were paid much less too. So as far as I'm concerned they are well entitled to their stock.
How? Last time I looked the smallest RDS for MySQL came at 11 USD.
This is a good lesson about the benefit of time when it comes to software development. Mario 64 could have been a much much better game on the same hardware, but the time cost would have resulted in a release late enough that the entire game might have been considered irrelevant.

Game consoles have had the benefit of the platform freezing for a few years allowing improvements to accumulate and later titles utilizing knowledge gained from the earlier titles.

Much of the software we use every day could benefit from this level of scrutiny but the pressure to deliver on time means we won't get to see such benefits unless it becomes a crazy persons labour of love.
> Would you send your 5 year old self down the streets of San Francisco or Seattle

No.

And I would avoid raising my kids there to begin with. Those two cities in particular have done everything within their means to alienate families.

I get that some parents believe that exposing their kids to people living in squalor on the street due to mental illness or addiction is an enriching cultural experience, and maybe it is. But I’m going to pass on that.
I don't think real danger completely explains it. I live in a completely tame neighborhood. Kids definitely walk and bike to school. Yet, there is also a much higher prevalence of kids being driven to school than when I was a kid.

And I grew up in true car culture: The coolest kid had a Cobra jacket, which meant his dad worked for Ford. That kid walked to school.

One difference is that there's a lot more car traffic in neighborhoods today.

Lawsuits are cost of doing business in the U.S. They don't need to increase potential surface and invite them though.

Knowing that there is potentially copyright material does not give you standing to sue them, unless you can show reasonable cause that they could have used your copyrighted content no court will take it to discovery to prove it conclusively, your case will be thrown out for lack of standing.

However if they share their data set, then you can show that they actually took it and have standing to sue them. Making any potential case more complex and expensive.

Can't even imagine being a dev back when you only had one shot at your game going gold and couldn't update it after the fact to patch bugs.
> What exactly would be sufficient evidence?

You know, after such a long (and recent!) history of violent and targeted oppression, that's a really tough question. Do you understand that? To start with, maybe another 5 years without any shit like what happened to my friend before I'd even consider it? So, there isn't precisely a threshold on "sufficient evidence" -- I'd be looking for a complete lack of evidence.

Luxury hotels can afford to bribe cops and judges. The organization is safe (as in, the organization won't get in trouble). But, I don't particularly care for gay clubs. What happens if I stray outside of an unmarked tourist zone, maybe pop over to a random market and a cop doesn't like the look of me? Moreover, what if a random citizen doesn't like the look of me? Sadly, a few of my friends (not Instagram friends, actual people that I see IRL) have been physically assaulted for being gay or trans in Canada for fuck's sake, rural and urban; one is paralyzed below the neck because he got stabbed for being gay. Safety isn't just about laws, it's also about policing (which doesn't always follow the law, and good luck challenging anything as a non-citizen), it's also about culture.

But now you've got me curious. Why are you so invested in convincing me that it's A-okay to visit a place that is notorious for its mistreatment of a specific population that I belong to? I'm not about to try to convince some Sikhs that rural USA is safe, right?

What measurements do you use to define cost-effective? I am happy to do an apple-to-apples comparison if you tell what would you like to see in comparison. Also if there is a post/study that shows that there is only arbitrate in DeFi I am happy to read it and try to understand if I am wrong. While this might have been a situation in the past, I am seeing it changing over the last year and half.

In my post, towards the end, I pointed out some facts that even with HFT and industry consolidation, traditional finance has not always worked in the favour of a consumer.

It feels like it's happening here too, just some years behind the US. Certainly kids today have much less freedom than I did 25 years ago, even if we're not at the point of protective services taking custody for playing on the street without adults.

I rode to junior high, where there was parking for hundreds of bikes. Recently I drove by that school, and the bike racks were gone. This whole concept of waiting in traffic to pick up or drop off your kid wasn't even a thing.

When I was in elementary school (in the 1970's), I thought the school was far away - I rode the bus to school and if my parents had to take me to school or come to school for any reason, they always drove.

It wasn't until I was grown that I realized that the school was only about half a mile from home -- I could have walked there in less time than it took to walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus. There was a 4 lane road between me and the school, but it had a traffic light and a crossing guard could have helped ensure safety.

"same biased RNG" largely reduces to "I use the same computer to generate all my signatures"; for example see the Debian RNG bug from 2008

I heard a rumor that the guy just wanted to run these TV ads about Tesla, and that he became a political candidate first because political ads have certain legal protections other ads don't, so Tesla can't easily get an injunction to stop them from running. Any truth to that?
Dan O’Dowd's campaign is dishonest. One can criticise Tesla's Autopilot and even self-driving in general. But then do it honestly.
Experience is invaluable.

He probably knows much more than those who didn't create a major front-end tool.
I've never heard of Green Hills Software. Looks like they make an RTOS and have a website from the 1990's.

Note that this guys company makes a product that is a competitor to Tesla's Autopilot software, so he is not impartial.

There is a clear definition of "oligarch" in Russia (which does not match the actual meaning of the word in English. See wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_oligarchs). In no way Volozh matches it.

I would definitely emphasise the same – do not take the conclusions of this study as a proof to stop antidepressants. First of all, be careful of single studies that may be biased. In this case I don't even know if life in Saudi Arabia might have some specific features that are not applicable in western countries. And generally long-term studies do not have a good track record. For example, many studies about long term effect of certain diet on health outcomes have disappointed.
My wife grew up in Japan and starting when she was 4, her regular errand was walking a few blocks down to the corner store alone to get her dad a beer, she was allowed to buy a small treat for herself with the change.

She did say that culture has changed since then and few parents would allow a 4 year old to do an errand like that alone anymore.
I saw the ads yesterday. But he picked the wrong issue to fight. He has a point. Tesla is being a bit reckless but the issue is not big enough for most people to care. Most people don't own a Tesla and even if they do full self driving is clearly marketed as experimental even if you get a different idea from the CEO as he pushes the technology.

He's built himself a bubble where the people around him think it's a big deal but ultimately he's just wasting his money.
An interview with AI Weiwei [video]
I've never worked at a company where the cloud budget fluctuated in the way that you are describing, and we certainly didn't run "simple application stacks." Costs and usage patterns are predictable. If you want to do whatever you want, costs be damned, then I'd ask why you're even bothering to be alerted about costs in the first place.
It's common enough in the 'underclass' or whatever you want to call it, but they more or less live like it's 1960. Cash. Barter. For things like cel phone, well, I have a friend who will get a banked person to add her to their plan, then pay them in cash or labor.

On one hand he is voicing valid concerns. On the other hand, with everything wrong in the world I can't fathom why someone would find this so important to center their senate campaign around it or for a billionaire to focus their energy on stopping it. This guy is doing both when the effort could be spent countless other ways that would save/improve more lives.
I think you read a little too far into my original question since there isn't any indicator of how I feel about this one way or another. Though, to your second point, $BIG_COMPANY doesn't always have the general public's best interests at heart, especially not Google, so it's not hard to see why people are skeptical or worried about this sort of a change.
errr who are the people advising this guy that Tesla self driving technology is in the top 10 list of political issues in anyone’s list, anywhere?

I’m a Tesla owner, and I’ve got concerns about their self driving tech being flaky, and I still can’t get myself to care enough that it’s an issue worth wasting a CA senate seat on.

is this a case of a completely sheltered billionaire thinking their pet issue is remotely important to the masses?

The tax games are dumb no matter if you have ISOs or Non-quals or whatever options.

The standard should be 83(b) elections supported with the company covering cash to exercise (or at least some portion). That makes the equity closer to RSUs, which is more aligned with the desired incentive. VCs / investors should be putting more money into companies to make this work; the employee pool is only typically 10% so it’s a tiny haircut to them.
