I don’t think styles a la “Impressionism” or “Manga” are generally copyrightable. Potentially narrowly trademark-able for a specific look and feel that correspond to a branding.

But Warner brothers can’t sue people for using “bullet time” in other movies after The Matrix created it.

“Inspired by” is not sufficient to meet the legal definition of a “derivative work”.

There’s a 4-part test for whether a derivative work is in violation of the copyright in the source material. Relevant to this discussion would be 3 of the 4 parts:

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

There’s an infinite corpus of case law which more substantially defines the reality of these three points.

But it’s somewhat universal that if someone invents an artistic style, another artist can replicate that platonic style without copying any particular elements of the tangible art. This has a nearly 100% chance of being deemed a “transformative work” which is always an allowed version of a derivative work under western copyright law.

Copyright simply does not prevent people from making “transformative” works of art that are obviously based on copyrighted art.
Thanks, but I feel I am reaching a point where I need my friend to be able to go to a physical location where they either fix it or clone his phone onto a new one that does work. I can't be google's advocate twisting my friend's arm to troubleshoot their phone anymore.

This is just a tiny sliver of my dissatisfaction too. I feel like the long time lover that sits down one night and after a lot of thinking gives pause with "Wait, why am I still in this relationship?"
Does this modernish Pascal have any provisions for OOP or FP?
All of it is weird

They always implement some language feature, but then put some weird, arbitrary restriction on it. It is twice as weird in FreePascal, because the developers cannot decide if they want to make their own language or be Delphi compatible.

Some weirdness examples:

There is automated reference counting to get memory safety, but only for strings and arrays (and also interfaces but we get to that later)

There is mutability xor aliasing, but only for strings

There is a type to store sets of integers, but you cannot have more than 256 elements

There is a type to store a slice of an array, but it can only be used during function calls, so no one ever uses it. Also it looks like it cannot be used with a slice of length 0, unless it is a slice of an array of length 0.

Interfaces are a very common concept in OOP languages. They specify some methods, but not their implementation. Everyone here knows how they work and in Pascal they work in the same way. Except, in Pascal they are also COM interfaces and add automated reference counting to a class. It is weird in the reverse, too. You can have classes with ARC which are almost memory safe, but only if you use an interface.

Array indices start with 0, string indices start with 1. It is already weird, but you can get used to it. But now they added OOP like string functions and it became weirder. Copy(Str, ...) becomes Str.Copy(..). And all the new methods use 0-based indices for strings.
There are third-party apps available that handle FLAC just fine. I use a paid app called Neutron Music Player mainly because it has an SMB client to connect to a NAS with my FLAC collection, but you can also use its built-in server to transfer FLAC to internal storage. I think you can even sync the SMB source to local storage as well but I haven't explored that, since I play them over the network just fine.

It was an example of polar opposite use cases, I certainly was not meaning to convey that all users belonged to one group of the other.
The terms "progressive" and "conservative" have been completely stripped of meaning in our political discourse, (like "agile"!) but fundamentally they have a core meaning.

Progressive philosophy is to seek change to improve/fix problems, even with the risk that action can have side effects that also will need to be dealt with.

Conservative philosophy is to maintain the status quo and not take action to address problems even if they are causing harm - until we can establish all possible side effects can be dealt with. ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Chesterton%27s_fence )

Which is why it's so strange and disappointing to me to see the overall discourse on this site about Twitter and the steps they take to try to deal with misinformation on global society-impacting subjects like pandemics, vaccines, and climate change.

People are not wrong to worry about knock-on effects, but it's shocking to me that by default most of the comment upvotes suggest it's preferable to do absolutely nothing and offer no moderation of content like this.

This would never fly in our day-to-day jobs. If HackerNews is for startup enterpreneurs, being stuck in analysis paralysis is no way to build a startup. Progressive bias for action is the only available option.
> But it makes no sense to force devs to expend the effort to recompile and update an App just for the sake of staying on a store if everything is already working perfectly as intended with no security issues.

Sure, but realistically how does Apple tell perfectly fine apps apart from apps that are abandoned and do have security issues?

Hand-auditing every app doesn't seem realistic. I doubt a good automated solution is either.

They could just take developers' word for it, but Apple has a responsibility to protect end users. If you tell a developer, "your answer to our next question determines whether we remove your app", then you can't count on them to answer honestly because you gave them an enormous incentive to lie.
Having seen businesses refactor out from low/no code providers to their own code base once there is traction, the value is in the product market fit discovery without shelling out to build a full blown app stack before you have traction. Fundamentally, it’s about capital efficiency.

By all means, if you have the skill set and are confident to get there without a workflow tool, do so, otherwise (maybe you’re biz and product heavy vs tech capability heavy as a team) prove it out and then invest in your tech stack. As the saying goes, you’re not writing code, you’re solving business problems for money. If you don’t have to write code to solve the problem, don’t (or write as little code as possible).

TLDR your workflow tool is either the equivalent of scripts run by cron but more accessible to the team or a spike you intend to clean up and operationalize long term. Treat it as such.
It isn't as much as a replacement term, but you make a fair point that is doesn't translate well. It is both jargon and a loaded concept, which can be confusing when taken literally and without understanding what it aims to represent.

Is "coastal" a signifier like "latte drinking"? Texas and Florida also have very lengthy and populated coastlines.
Not that the algorithms are impossible to explain but in some cases the real explanations might require explanations, too. But I think companies will probably get away with hand-wavy explanations like you get this recommendation because you watched this movie neglecting all the sourcing/ranking/filtering workflows.

I'm not sure whether her cynicism is helpful or not. But, style aside, it seems like it's mainly a function of whether her subfield as a whole skews optimistic?

It seems like her impression is that (parts of) the high energy theory community are too optimistic to an extent where they unintentionally or intentionally deceive the public (who are ultimately funding science through taxes).

If that's correct, perhaps it can be beneficial for science as a whole to provide a counterbalance?
Yes, I've watched both of those. Mathologer is in the biz of math, Vsauce is in the biz of ka-ching.
Is it unusual in the U.S. to carry two phones?

I've had a work provided phone and a personal phone for a long time and so most of the people I know.

Sometimes I've had a work iPhone and a personal Android, and now a work Android and a personal older iPhone.
The last time i streamed 4K video while gaming on my PS4 during a work related video calls was just a couple days ago.

Joke aside. I get your point, but how many people do you have to have on a single 1 Gbit line to saturdate it? Some things will get faster for sure (like downloading large files, if the other side is fast enough), but I feel like most of the time it's driving a Ferrari within a city.
I can't picture images at all, and don't really dream at all either. Wonder if there are any implications, I went through most of my life thinking this is normal.
you can use opentelemetry to get traces and metrics for golang net/http, but since I'm not using it I have no idea what metrics are already supported.

Time.

For a solo / indie shop, you have limited time.

Every time macOS/Xcode/iOS updates, some of the iOS APIs are deprecated in favor of "the new better way of doing things". You have to keep up, or else your old apps stop compiling at some point.
Have owned both Android and IPhone, both are great choices. If you want to configure your phone or want to interact with content, I'd say the Android wins.

To me one of the best Android phones is the OnePlus 8T, it has a large effective screen, modest weight and very good battery life.

But the IPhone X and also 13 are very tough phones, that can take a lot of abuse.
With panzer glass it's an extremely durable (and fast) phone.

By presenting good evidence that the consensus is wrong, and then after the existing model is thrown into doubt, presenting a better model. But there actually has to be that evidence. Bogus evidence (such as that presented by global warming deniers) does not suffice.
Let me quote from a 2012 interview with Bruce Schneier about his book Liars and Outliers:

Q: Given the dangers out there, should we trust anyone? Isn’t “trust no one” the first rule of security?

Bruce: It might be the first rule of security, but it’s the worst rule of society. I don’t think I could even total up all the people, institutions and systems I trusted today. I trusted that the gas company would continue to provide the fuel I needed to heat my house, and that the water coming out of my tap was safe to drink. I trusted that the fresh and packaged food in my refrigerator was safe to eat – and that certainly involved trusting people in several countries. I trusted a variety of websites on the Internet. I trusted my automobile manufacturer, as well as all the other drivers on the road.

I am flying to Boston right now, so that requires trusting several major corporations, hundreds of strangers – either working for those corporations, sitting on my plane or just standing around in the airport – and a variety of government agencies. I even had to trust the TSA [US Transportation Security Administration], even though I know it’s doing a lousy job – and so on. And it’s not even 9:30am yet! The number of people each of us trusts every day is astounding. And we trust them so completely that we often don’t even think about it.

We don’t walk into a restaurant and think: “The food vendors might have sold the restaurant tainted food, the cook might poison it, the waiter might clone my credit card, other diners might steal my wallet, the building constructor might have weakened the roof, and terrorists might bomb the place.” We just sit down and eat. And the restaurant trusts that we won’t steal anyone else’s wallet or leave a bomb under our chair, and will pay when we’re done. Without trust, society collapses. And without societal pressures, there’s no trust. The devil is in the details, of course, and that’s what my book is about.

NVidia has no plans to use CUDA to design FPGAs, that is what is being discussed here.

As for HDLs, it is clear it will still take time, however Intel and Xilink seem keen in giving an helping hand.
Just imagine this requirement on any other operating system.
Would it be accurate to summarize this way?

TLS + ECH encrypts all message content, including the client hello with the hostname, but it does not encrypt a specific message (an IP address + service identifier combination) that uniquely specifies which program will terminate the TLS connection.

If you want information to be private about the host name you're connecting to, you need not only a single public IP address for many hosts, but also for that server to terminate TLS for all of those hosts.
Galileo's problems weren't due to his findings and theories going against the current consensus. Galileo's problems were a combination of:

1. His heliocentric theory wasn't actually noticeably better at explaining observations than the current geocentric theories. Galileo, like the Church, believed in a universe intelligently designed by an all-powerful God, and he believed that said God would of course choose laws of physics that were mathematically beautiful and elegant. He had to hand wave away things that didn't fit with his notion of mathematically beautiful and elegant as optical illusions or observational error, which is not very convincing.

2. His ego. He was a celebrity who was frequently invited to hang out with the rich and powerful, which he loved.

3. He was an asshole. He was very intolerant of and rude to those he considered to be his rivals or his inferiors (and because of his big ego "inferiors" included pretty much everyone else).

4. He had a very poor sense of politics. He failed to realize or ignored that some of those rivals or inferiors that was a major asshole towards either were politically powerful or had better connections than he did to politically powerful people, and they could cause that power to be used to make his life miserable if he kept being a major asshole to them.

There's a great detailed look at the road to replacing geocentricism with heliocentricism here [1].

Do you always know who you’re trading with in crypto? How do you identify the counterparty to make the demand from? This isn’t a problem with ordinary transactions, where the two parties have regulated organizations making the trade on their respective behalf. Even in stock trades, where the counterparties are anonymous, there is a mechanism for reversing trades because the system was designed for it.
Someone replied to the original tweet with an example of their iOS dev experience:

Exactly. Years ago the number of apps in each app store was portrayed as "more is better" and a moat against new platforms. But realistically, how many apps does the average mobile user actually use, now that the novelty has worn off? I would guess that 75% of all users actually care about maybe 50 different apps combined, like Facebook, Netflix, WhatsApp, Spotify, etc.

Market makers need the ability to process transactions quickly. There is indeed a network of computers involved, but each computer is, well, a computer, and needs to make computations in order for transactions to process.

Science has often worked like that. As an example consider Galileo's discovery of the phases of Venus. It immediately destroyed the Ptolemaic model of the solar system. Even supporters of that system overwhelmingly immediately abandoned it.
I got that too. It’s pregenerated. But what’s particularly impressive is that you can generate your own outputs on the fly. Usually with sites like these, it’s solely pregenerated.

Hey, are you still using Keybase?
The microwave frequencies we use don't perfectly match water. If they did it would only heat the skin on top. They have some penetration.

To do this they probably beamed far more than 1.6kW. You need to heat the vapor in the middle and either go through it or move it out of the way.

Fun consequence of this, you can disperse clouds by pointing microwaves up. It doesn't take a massive amount of power either, but scales with power.
Those appliances nearly never have 100% duty cycle. It's important to note that this power can be transmitted when it is cloudy or nighttime and could potentially require less weight and setup.

I'm not saying line-of-sight transmission is a great solution, but this is an impressive engineering demonstration with some limited battlefield application.
Why We Duel
> Their battery tech isn't unique (and not theirs entirely either). Everything except the infotainment system is "simple" (in relative terms).

The differentiating factor for Tesla has never been their battery tech or physical car quality. It's somewhat like Apple in that the combination of decent (but not the best) hardware and software brought together in a cohesive way creates something better than the individual parts. You're buying an "experience", which people often make fun of but ultimately I feel is more representative of what customers are looking for than looking at pure specs of the car. And a lot of the "experience" is powered by software or by custom silicon or other non-car things.

Android still can't compete with Apple in terms of the polish and cohesiveness of the product despite Google and Samsung being juggernauts, and I think Tesla vs. Ford/GM/etc. is much the same. Just pick up a Galaxy S22 and use it for a bit. The apps feel like a patchwork of different UX's, different ways of using the phone, and different modules that don't talk to each other.
>Yes we charge a fee on AUM. All robo-advisors do. This aligns incentives: we make money only when you do.

This is absolutely false. You charge a 0.94% management fee. That fee gets paid whether or not customers' portfolios go up.
