Shifting goalposts, are we, after your 'clearly' comment did not even contain a grain of truth about what OP posted?

And yes, you are missing something. Go ahead and watch Chapelle. The issue isn't that he makes a joke about trans people. Sure, I'd assume people in general may not like having jokes made at their expense, but that's not the issue. The issue is that Chapelle dedicates a whole special to argue that their cause isn't worthy to be supported. As much as I like Chapelle and his amazing ability to do hour-long stand-ups where he doesn't even tell jokes and yet you're mesmerized, I'll have to side with the 'punching down' argument. This campaign of his will not age well.

I understand his frustration, and, in his words, jealousy, to see how far LGBTQ+ rights have come compared to the much older issue of Black rights, but that's a really poor justification to rant against the former.

Just imagine that same setup to watch someone rant for an hour against women suffrage, or gay or Black rights, etc. Sure, some will like this.
This semantic difference does not seem to be relevant to my point.

If say you choose to work from home and then you find out your coworkers working in office get more wage increase or promotion than you do, would you be OK with it?
>Unsolicited advice is generally offensive. If they wanted your advice on how to fix their problems they would ask you.

It is not generally offensive to offer a suggestion about how to solve a problem, what's offensive is abusing people time by rehearsing the same complaints over and over again while ignoring any kind of solution. If they whine constantly about a problem but never seek any way to solve it, it is just attention-seeking behavior.

>If they don't and you go ahead anyway then you imply that you are superior to them and just come off as obnoxious.

No. It implies that the person has already had the problem and solved it successfully or they have the knowledge to solve it successfully or they are trying to brainstorm what they would do.
I loved the Gravis Ultrasound. I upgraded the wavetable memory with an additional 1MiB through the DIP sockets with memory that I sourced from a friend's unused video card (IIRC). At some point the GUS died because the card was so heavy that it bended, touched another card and short-circuited.

Some time later I got an Gravis Ultrasound Extreme. At some point I also had the Gravis GamePad.
I meant 10700K.

Written that comment on mobile on a plane, before take-off, so I either typo'd and didn't see, or auto-correct changed it deeming 10200K is more correct than 10700K.

If you look to the original comment where I sparked the discussion, I've mentioned it as 10700K already.
Ive had issues in the other direction.

Importing data using the copy from s3 command has a nasty failure state if the client loses connection to the db AND the import command has a problem.

The query hangs with a row exclusive lock and the query _cannot_ be killed. Only option was to reboot the DB.
> Also, I've said that before, but we already know that brains operate under an irreversible computation model.

We don't know that brains operate under any kind of computational model at all. It's often postulated, but it's not proved. Every attempt I've seen at a proof reduces to begging the question.

Edit: To be clear I’m not saying a computational model of the brain can’t be a useful tool. Newtonian physics works quite well quite often even though reality isn’t Newtonian.

Trump went & created a social network. Nothing stopped him. Plenty of others have done so. Plenty are just as good products.

That they arent popular isnt a monopoly. It just reflects that people dont like being forced to live with the shouting class in their midst. These laws are in effect to legislate that no one is allowed protection from the shouting class, that the right to shout outweighs everyone elses desire to go to places where we arent being shouted at & have what seems to us civil fellow networkees.

If we do want to make an adjustment, I'd suggest adversarial interoperability. Combatting monopoly by allowing competition seems a hundred times more favorable, as a general principle, than accepting monopoly & forever working to insure the monopoly serves each of us adequately to our desires.
IIRC if you were into the music part of the demoscene you were also treated to lots of critiques of various cards. This was part of the reason I went for the PAS-16 rather than the Sound Blaster.

The GUS was also absolutely huge in that crowd because of the way it handled MIDI via wavetable. I remember reading reviews and scrounging up cash to buy a wavetable card, actually an OEM AWE 32 in a nondescript cardboard box from the basement of a computer store in Utah. The various features for working with the wavetable made it a lot of fun to play with.
Even better: buy an old office desktop from about 10 years ago, upgrade the ram and storage (if you feel like it) and install Proxmox. Now you can run as many servers as you want, faster, probably cheaper, and with much less hardware.
I think this is what we call “self-limiting”. Maybe miners are subsidizing their mining by BTC appreciation (though, it seems it’d be easier to just buy BTC), and if they are then some people are going to find new jobs when the price changes slope.

If all that text would have been that of a story, there would still have been a chance to decipher it.

Even worse than the small number of texts is that all, or almost all, are just bookkeeping records, so they contain few words besides numbers, symbols for useful goods, e.g. wine, olive oil, barley, wool and so on, and proper names of places or people.

So even if there might be a few hundreds of texts, most just reproduce the same phrases, only with different numbers and names substituted in them.

Any statistics on this handful of stereotype phrases will offer no information about the statistics of the words of the Minoan language as used in a normal conversation or story telling.
I don't get how they can sell out so quickly. Why won't stores simply raise the price in order to reach parity between supply and demand?
I replaced buying Coke with tap water, but with a special additive. Incredibly cheap. But it just tastes better than Coke, like why would I buy Coke now that I have water with that additive, Coke just tastes heavy and fattening now.
>Thinking app ideas are worth anything is naive.

lots of people are saying this here, I agree, pretty much, almost all the time, because almost all ideas are ideas that people have had. Especially when they are product ideas.

But on the other hand, whenever I hear this ideas are worthless, I do get a reflexive kick in my gut against conventional bullshit that everyone has agreed to believe in to fight against the old fashioned bullshit people used to believe, which was that ideas were valuable in themselves. And when I get that little reflexive kick in my gut I think, amazingly these people have never heard about pagerank.

I mean sure, without a good execution they wouldn't have anything, but the idea was definitely worth quite a bit more than "hey what if we made Yahoo, but improved the execution a bit?"

It was utter torment. I had to run a team at work all the while. I was able to do it, but only through sheer willpower. I had to constantly reiterate to myself what was happening and the timeline for it to be over to be able to deal with it. It increased my mental toughness dramatically. My life is actually much better now because of the entire experience.

Thanks! FWIW, this is a follow up to an older article that covered a number of other issues with bitcoin's economics: https://paulbutler.org/2021/betting-against-bitcoin/
The energy embodied in the metal used to make their housing is more than the entire possible energy they could make in any reasonable timeframe.

So no, this isn't scalable.

On top of that despite them saying the anode was not corrected, it's almost certain the algae aren't making any electricity at all, it's all coming from the cathode and anode oxidizing.

It's easy enough to tell - just let them die and let's see if there is a different in energy output. I can almost guarantee there will not be any difference.
I call it productive procrastination

Amazing phenomenon.
If you’re not already, try using nutritious food formulated specifically for pigeons or doves.

Seed-heavy diets, even if formulated for pigeons, are very fatty and may not make them feel great after eating. And bread is basically junk food for birds! So if you try a more nutritious blend of food made for them specifically, they may really enjoy it and come back for more.

Plus I imagine gulls won’t bother with their tiny food.

I'm all for competition to be honest. While Intel is the least favorite CPU maker of mine (due to their unethical moves in the past), I'd love to see fierce competition rather than a single dominant power.

No, what's disingenuous is neglecting to consider how much energy is used by different activities. The average American's gaming, meat consuption, driving, and all other activities combined emit as much CO2 as only about a dozen Bitcoin transactions [0][1].

“Self-limiting” is a game-theoretic property, not an economic property. The point of the post is that there’s a fundamental economic unreality in how these mining companies are valued, and all signs (such as hearty executive bonuses) point to the fact that their leadership is aware and is emptying the bag before leaving others holding it.
and its a result of reaction to MS devs digging in with such gems like DHowett highly edited responses:

> We get it, Microsoft sucks, we should all be fired, rah rah rah.

> I just don't know what else he's asking for here. Credit? Us to die screaming? The blog post is matter-of-fact, and Casey is right: however, he said himself that it was trivial to do this. Is it not acceptable that we use the same language?

> I'll admit that we didn't list him by name, but neither did we list the other handful of folks involved

> Another day, another Casey post dunking on my team. Hi!

> we apologized

> Casey rightly did not acknowledge it except to tell his followers that it was not a real apology

TLDR for people not in the loop: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31285123

- You and lhecker insulted Casey Muratori

- You insisted this was a "doctoral research" (your words) and that he was "misguided" (Leonard's words)

- When it turned out he was right, you posted a non-apology (you didn't even name the person you were apologizing to)

- A year later Leonard who claimed it was so hard now writes a blog post that "solution is trivial" and was "suggested by a community member". Once again failing to acknowledge the person who gave you this trivial solution

so MS dev has been forced to finally give credit (but still no apologies), and it only took over a year, multiple edits and little side note blog post update.

uhh - this is exactly "not systems thinking" .. it is an individual opportunistic thinking. Responses below link to broad societal effects, various environmental claims, appeals to morality and reason.. all of which intersect very little with the "I see food" diet implied by this question.

As an analogy, the sticky part of lottery tickets is, people will reliably participate with their own money; others complain; nothing changes as people do it again anyway. Opportunistic planners take advantage of the "I see food" people, make glossy lottery tickets and pay a premium to food store managers to sell those lottery tickets; more people complain.

Can we identify the systems parts in play here, to create enough context to actually decide what is important, what is unstoppable, and what might be a rational, thinking response to all of this going on ?

Likewise nobody cares about some dude winning the mega-jackpot at Vegas slot machine.

People care about what you can do for them, which will improve their lives on a concrete and practical basis. Crypto fails on that account and has been failing for 10 years.

So you'll read about it on Bloomberg, CNBC, FoxBusiness etc. always in the realm of loss porn or gain porn, not in any other fashion.

Even your message : "this has become an amusing weekend because Terra became a Memecoin, bouncing off the lows"...

For regular people an amusing day was the day Pfizer announced the vaccine and the day they took it to drastically reduce their risk of dying from COVID.

Another example if you are young would be the discovery of a new oil field in Texas which is as cheap to extract from as the ones in the Middle East.

It's not really an idiom. The normal conversion expression is

T(v)

but that doesn't work if T is a pointer type, because it's parsed as

*(T(v))

so the types don't match. So you need

(*T)(v)

to ensure the type part includes the pointer specifier.

I've got a shortcut which you apply through sharing on pictures (or lets you select them from Photos if you call it directly), and calls a script on my server which takes the picture as data on stdin. The script on the server processes the picture and puts it online on my webserver, and returns the new URL back on stdout. The shortcut takes that URL, puts it in clipboard, opens it in Safari, and offers you to send it via Airdrop to somewhere.

Works on iOS and macOS, and on macOS I have a variant that calls the shortcut but with a screenshot, i.e. it first asks me to select a part of the screen and uses that.

My gut tells me that this is a two part question.

First, one has to understand what are required in order to get copyright.

Secondly, one would have to decide if patient data is somehow excluded from the traditional copyright rules.

I found some of my old notes from law classes at uni. This is part of the EU Copyright Directive (copied in 2012, but the main motives remain the same) says:

“ If authors or performers are to continue their creative
and artistic work, they have to receive an appropriate
reward for the use of their work, as must producers in
order to be able to finance this work. The investment
required to produce products such as phonograms, films
or multimedia products, and services such as ‘on-
demand’ services, is considerable. Adequate legal protec-
tion of intellectual property rights is necessary in order
to guarantee the availability of such a reward and
provide the opportunity for satisfactory returns on this
investment”.

I could probably copy the entire document here, but as i remember, and as others have pointed out, European law is focused on providing “protection” to those who put in an “effort” in creating something that can be considered “creative” or “artistic”.

This is interesting, because that essentially means that data can be created without being protected by law. I remember hearing examples of cases where photos weren’t protected simply because the photographer didnt “put a effort” into taking the picture (read: anyone with a smartphone is essentially a photographer).

My take on the original question about the medical images, is that the image itself, it not protected by copyright (but i am not a lawyer). I would pose that there isnt any creative or artistic process surrounding taking the picture.

The second part I wonder about is, who “owns” patient data. Living in norway, I havent been able to find any legal documentation stating who owns patient data (journal notes, medical pictures, etc). There are lots of privacy laws protecting the data, and there are laws defining who has the right to access the data. But nothing really states anything about owning the data.

I would argue that the doctor does not know the data he/she enters in a journal, since they are “only” writing down what the patient is saying, and documenting what treatment the doctor has given the patient. Measurement data, lab data etc, are all automatically created, and are tied to the patient, so i wonder if the patient “own” the data.

Having worked in health tech a while, Ive never found any legal that clearly states ownership.
I have one. It’s a mini system (CS-N575) and it has both Spotify and Chromecast support but no AirPlay support.

I bought it because I wanted a small system for my office that I could stream to or play CDs. It works, but I wouldn’t really recommend it. It doesn’t sound great. I thought about buying better speakers but then then I looked up the amp specs and saw 10% THD. I think it’s just a mediocre system.
