Everything that you, a person with a paintbrush, could paint "in the style of" something else is informed by what your model (your brain) has been exposed to. There's no getting around that, and commissioning you to paint something "in the style of postwar authoritarian England" does not infringe the copyright of V for Vendetta (even if I told you "make it look just like the movie"); it's an original painting.

Stylistic inspiration is not an infringement of copyright, in either that case or the "do it on a computer" case here.

The Kermit the Frog aspect though is interesting - it applies equally for both the human and machine made works - if an argument could be made that the subject of the work sufficiently resembles the character, maybe there's a trademark issue at hand?

But in any scenario, nothing legally novel about the work being created by machine.

And while I know everyone is into breaking regulations, both fire codes (for density and exit corridors) and OSHA (for number of employees per toilet) limit the number of desks in an office.
They probably did, but even if they didn't it may have come from the terrabytes of data they scraped from the internet. OpenAI doesn't care. They claim that it's derivative enough to go under fair use. And whether it is or isn't, I guess their calculation is that the risk is worth taking to be the first to develop these algorithms, which is a huge head start if the courts decide that it does count as fair use.
Rust and Go are surely different classes of programming language. Rust is a systems language and Go is garbage collected. That is, Go is in the camp with Ruby, Python and Javascript, whereas Rust is in the camp with C and C++. Garbage collected languages are easier to use than non-garbage collected languages, so if you can use them, you should.

The OP seems to be referring to "working tons of overtime to get ahead" and not "capitalism in general".

Nonetheless, both China and Russia have switched from communism to capitalism while remaining violently bad, so it seems dubious that this is determined by the economic system rather than the political system.
You bought the car. You're free to put whatever fuel in it that you like, but anything other than our own Super Xtreme CarFuel Plus is not supported (and will likely total your vehicle).

A bit more seriously: there are shades of grey. Just because they gave you something for what you paid doesn't mean it was a) fair, nor b) what was (effectively) advertised. Legalese around "you really just bought X" doesn't necessarily put everything in the clear.

i.e. when you buy an Android phone, it seems reasonable for people to expect that to come with a functioning Android-based OS. Just because you can install a different OS on it doesn't mean the default one isn't subject to criticism.
Sure, you could invent a different standard, but what are you going to write into it?

"If you input 0.1 into atan, the result should round up when outputting 5 digits, down with 8 digits and up with 12 digits"?

Also, "round up" is not any easier than "round correctly" if you require it to be consistent. Say you compute a result like 9.004 and want to round to two digits - if the exact result would have been 8.991, then rounding your computation as 9.01 is different from the standard-specified result of 9.00.

So your standard would literally have to specify the desired output for every combination of operation, input, and output precision - obviously impossible.
You seem to be under the misapprehension that this thread is about "The Indian Caste System" as a whole; it is not. That is a different discussion altogether. For some authentic sources on this topic see my other comments in this thread.

This thread is about "Caste based Discrimination" amongst the Indian IT Community in the USA. My contention is that it is not all the issue that it is made out to be by some vested interests who may have their own agenda in raking this up. Hence American companies need to be cautious before giving them a megaphone and a platform.
It literally doesn't matter who consumes it. As soon as the oil is out of the ground, we've already lost. That stored carbon is going into the atmosphere or into new a plastic / other petroleum product (which is often eventually burned and sent into the atmosphere).

Extraction taxes/bans are the only policy that matters. We need to leave the carbon that's already in the ground in the ground. Expensive new ways to re-sequester a fraction of the extracted carbon are just a shell game. Efficiency efforts will always be hindered by some variant of Jevon's paradox. [0].

Companies (like BP) that are heavily invested in extraction technology and capital - drilling rigs, pipelines, etc. - will try to convince you that we can extract as much as we want indefinitely, and figure out how to get the carbon out of the atmosphere later. It's a stupid, obviously wrong, bad-faith argument from an amoral, economically motivated set of actors.

maybe Product aren't master of the universe directing all the teams, but just another group of folks with relevant skills that should advise and advocate - absolutely agree! However, there are many teams involved and sometimes they have conflicting priorities and/or proposed directions. Some one has to be responsible and make the call. That's the Product Owner's job. Maybe this needs to be said, you can be the perfect Product Owner but that doesn't mean someone isn't going to be butt hurt over a decision you made. It just comes with the territory of being a leader.
I was much more nervous about the long running policy of cheap capital to be honest. I’m glad for a correction before it goes too long.

In theory, yeah. I don't know if this has been done in the past 30ish years, though... it seems that, mysteriously, the people in charge of making those decisions are always the same people who have a lot invested in seeing the bubble continue to inflate.
An import distinction to make is that this is about the (major) record labels in pop music. The vast majority of (independent) record labels are small companies, that focus on the music. They won't make you dirty rich or famous, but if your music is good they will publish and make your music available to their respective scene.It is not an easy path, it requires a lot of commitment and you have to very talented, but you can still become a professional artist that way.
If it is just about being famous and a commercial success, well then those 'artists' and record labels get what they deserve with this tiktok bs.
Segregation hasn’t occurred, perhaps that’s what they meant? Parent even talks about painting with a broad brush.

If people say Dalle can improve the workflow of digital artists, sure, but Copilot hasn't revolutionized programming either, you still have to be a good programmer to finish whatever you are doing:

> A paper accepted for publication in the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy in 2022 assessed the security of code generated by Copilot [...] The study found that across these axes in multiple languages, 39.33% of top suggestions and 40.73% of total suggestions lead to code vulnerabilities. Additionally, they found that small, non-semantic (i.e., comments) changes made to code could impact code safety.[14]

That's fair for software that's a one time purchase. But most modern software is subscription based, and is more akin to renting an apartment where you're more restricted in what you can modify.

Legally, I agree that we should be able to modify whatever software we purchase so long as we don't redistribute it. I don't believe, however, that the engineers should be required to hand over the source code for us to do it.

Car mods are usually legal, but no one is demanding schematics from the manufacturer to help them go about it.
I don't think reddit and in particular /r/science should be held aloft as a beacon of reason and good thinking. The pseudo science and junk that is regularly upvoted there proves that they should more frequently question the basic competence of the researchers and reviewers.
Halo: Combat Evolved was originally a Mac game, before MS bought Bungie. Bungie's earlier games were released on Mac first (and maybe only; I don't recall). Myst was a Mac only game for a few years after its release in 1993.

It's a super gross, super hostile move.

For those that don't click through, the real f-you aspect here is that until recently Shimano's own site bragged of its compatibility with Hammerhead, so presumably people bought Di2 equipped bikes based on that promise -- and now have had it jerked back.

I'm not affected -- my bikes run SRAM -- but if I were a Shimano user, I'd be pretty damn angry. It's a petty, smallminded move.

We use prime-mvc, a lightweight Java MVC framework: https://github.com/prime-framework/

I think this framework grew out of the initial development team's needs for a fast, lightweight Java framework. (I wasn't there, not sure how much looking around they did, but this was years and years ago.) It's now foundational for our applications.

We've had some folks at the Boulder Ruby meetup present on Hanami, which appears to have better separation of concerns and testability as well as less magic than ruby on rails. Hard to compete with the ecosystem, though.

Tesla's valuation was over 100x earnings yesterday. They had a P/E ratio of over 200x not too long ago. They are making solid products mostly, but I doubt you couldn't lump them in with "meme stocks" considering their volatility and average shareholder.
It's semantics. He doesn't have the cash, so one way or another he's leveraging up.
For me the information that matters most is subjective: how do I feel? What is my output? Do I feel that my pedal rotation is too fast or too slow? Do I feel fast? The one exception is when there's a strong headwind, for some reason I find a velocity display to be very motivational. Distance is useful sometimes. But everything else is distraction.

The dealers brought it on themselves...many of them actively disincentivize EV purchases when you try to buy one.

If I may inquire, as someone curious about 1x's, what do you like about them over 2x or 3x?

Did you put the 1x on a road bike, or something or other?

I'm not into racing, but I like going hard and fast (relative to my fitness), and find that I don't really care about cadence, but I do like range and minimalism. Makes me think a 1x, even on road, would be great for me, even if I'd keep my 2x's, since they work perfectly fine. Only if/ when the components wear out, maybe I'd do the 1x switcheroo.
I wonder if him coming out as a Republic was a similar tactic as the "return to office" memo?

He might be thinking he can get 5% of the people to quit just based on differences in values, making his remaining employees more homogenous and giving them a common culture.
> Rust only limits you from writing nonsense code

This is the ideal, but not always the reality. The Rust borrow checker isn't perfect, so sometimes it rejects code that should work perfectly fine. Hopefully as the language matures (Polonius, GATs, HRTBs…) these cases will become rarer.
I wonder if there is going to be an issue with the structural integrity of the filters, since they are designed to rest on an object rather than hang? Wouldn't think it would be a big issue, but possibly? If you were wanting to do this long term, feels like a series of light wood frames to support would not be too expensive/difficult to construct or possibly 3d print, and have advantage of reduced adhesive smell.

My theory on why social media has a net bad effect on society is that it devolves into an internet mob generation machine. Mob's are almost guaranteed to be unintelligent. They destroy individual discourse and they quell independent thought. There is a lot of truth to the quote that "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals..." -- Ed Solomon, Men in Black. Social media flips us from "a person" to "people"

Social Media makes us dumber because it tries to force us into mobs. The problem I think is caused by engagement metrics. They optimize for mobs because mobs are the easiest form of engagement to measure. I'm not even sure you can measure the better forms of engagement to be honest. Which perhaps means that this isn't fixable without destroying Social Networks as a business.
In layman's terms: It's an integrated circuit that has non-volatile storage, resistors on the data lines so that the voltage sits at 'high', as per the spec for I2C (the communication protocol), a capacitor to stabilize the voltage, and diodes that protect the circuit in case voltage were applied in the 'wrong direction'.
S/he does not. 50MPH is entirely plausible on even a relatively short alpine descent.
You haggle over most things that cost more than $50,000 because those things are unique and their value is subjective.

I don't haggle over the price of gasoline or milk. It's not because the price is low. It's because the identical product is available from a dozen local merchants and I know which is cheapest or which has the best lit parking lot or which has self-checkout. Price becomes so standard that merchants try to compete in other ways. And for those that do choose to compete on price, $0.05 difference on a $5 item is a big gap.

We're hiring a ton. We raised a Seed / Series-A / Series-B last year, so have a great runway to achieve our vision to become the data movement standard. The current context is even favorable to our open-source approach.
Since we started Airbyte in July 2020, Airbyte has been used by 20k+ companies to move data from APIs, databases, files to data warehouses, lakes, DBs, etc.

I always wonder about code bases using bolt-on reference counting. I would count C++ shared_ptr and Rust's Arc among them. At this point wouldn't it be better to just use a regular GC language? What I don't like in modern C++ is that almost everything seems to be heap allocated, when it certainly doesn't need to be. In case of GC language you at least get fast allocations and heap compaction. But it is true that resource release is more predictable with RC. On the other hand you get those cascades of releases in RC.

As always it is a game of trade offs, but it is something that bothers me.
I'm imagining the defense will be: "Your honor, it can't be infringement because I ran it through an ML model first."

Especially if the movie(s) that are eventually generated this way are ripping whole scenes or sequences out of other films, a la copilot.
I'm glad it worked out for you! But can you honestly tell me that, e.g., cleaning your apartment is not a burdensome chore? Does the thought that you will do it all over again after a week bring you joy?

> He piled empty paint cans on top of one another and filled them with concrete to make columns. He bent corrugated iron rods and fed them through slinky-like springs to create the structure for arches. When the columns he built were too short, he filled the gaps with clumps of iron, piling them up like mismatched books to the height of the support beams. He’d then solder them together.
Long time ledger-cli user here. I recently discovered PTA [1, 2, 3], a Perl script by OpenBSD developer Ingo Schwarze. I'm in Europe, so the account numbering he uses is much preferred in my country as compared to Ledger's system.

I seem to be in the same boat like Schwarze: ledger-cli is really nice, but has too many features for my modest needs. I also really like the terse single-line syntax in the journal [4] as compared to ledger-cli's multi-line entries.

A port of Schwarze's PTA to awk would be lovely, though (as compared to awk, Perl is huge! :); maybe I'll try to hack something together some day.

Is anybody aware of other plain text double-entry accounting utilities that would use the numbered chart of accounts?

There is an important thing to note: Loci is for memorization. Spaced repetition is for retaining knowledge you already memorized. What you memorize with Loki will be forgotten, no matter how good the method is. And spaced repetition alone won't do much to help you memorize. Thus, look at it this way: you can use mnemonics, such as Loki, to memorize certain information, and spaced repetition, say Anki, to retain that knowledge.
Wow! What were your experiences dealing with these tactics, and do you know of any articles describing it?

Saying advantages don’t exist and saying racism doesn’t exist are two different things. I don’t believe I have an advantage as a white person with no degree. Even if I had a degree I don’t see the disadvantages PoC supposedly have (I’m told this is because I’m white). I grew up poor just like these disadvantaged people. Yet I still believe there’s racist people. And believe it or not, I know a democrat who is very racist. Literally moved states to be around more white people. Also confirming that racism still exists.

There was a thread this week about calendars, and it made me miss the unified calendar that webOS gave us. I'm excited (and slightly paranoid) to see this now, and can't wait to play with it! I wonder if I still have my old Pre lying around anywhere, and if it still boots. I love my iPhone, but I sure loved that Pre when it was new.

As a random second anecdote, I really miss the hacker community around it. I can't remember the name of the forum, but there was a super active thread the day we got root on the device, and it was unbelievably cool to see some Palm employees show up in it and pointing folks in the right direction. Such a fun device.

> Private property is a precursor to free software. I own a computing machine, therefore I have a natural right to control what my computing machine will compute.

A couple things:

1. You don't need ownership to have rights related to privacy or control. You don't have to be a homeowner to have a right against people invading your home. The hackers who started the free software movement were not primarily computing on devices they personally owned.

2. Personal ownership of computing devices is not necessarily what the term 'private property' refers to. Personal ownership of computing devices is very much possible without private _property_: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_property#Personal_v...

PHP: CakePHP

This was the very first framework I learned when I first learned PHP, and it has always just been so incredibly _easy_ to accomplish most common MVC tasks that I've stuck with it. I've become quite the expert in the framework over the years, even managing to make it bend quirky ways that it was not meant to in service of business goals. That has made me an extremely valuable resource for companies using the framework, and so I keep using it. Plus, I enjoy it immensely.
