I'm ethnically Russian (mostly), although I've never been to that country and have less influence on their foreign policy than your average European (who at least has some say in how his own country behaves towards Russia — and we've seen how well they managed that). I don't know how this would translate to the real world if I lived in "the West", but from what I'm seeing on the internet for the past few months, it definitely is about ethnicity. I've been called many things and blamed for everything bad that has happened since 1945, and not many seem to care that half of Putin's army consists of people of Asian and Caucasian ethnicities, and there are many Russians in the Ukrainian army. If you go to places like r/worldnews, there are open calls for violence that have strong fascist overtones, and those seem to be getting more popular.

Can't say the same about HN, it's one of the few places that seems to have kept its sanity (for now?)

I remember my second day of playing UO back in 1998. I'm chopping trees and making bows in the woods on my crafting character to generate gold for my main character. I'd read to do this in a guide somewhere online. I'm moving along in the woods and I see someone who's obviously disconnected from the game (standing still, not moving) in full golden armor. We're out in the middle of nowhere so I attack them with my hatchet because 11 year old me really wanted that armor set. It takes forever to kill them, and I wasn't aware of how lucky I was since players disappear within 5 minutes of disconnecting. I must have caught the start of the disconnect. They finally die. I loot their corpse: The expected items and a house key!

I take that key and for the next few hours I tried to open the door of every single home in the area to finally find it: A small brick house in a clearing about a 10 minute run from where they died. I ICQ my friends who also only started playing and they help me loot it clean and walk back to town to bank the spoils. This was before housing transfer and managed ownership was added so losing your house key meant you lost 45k gold since it was no longer secure. Later that week I make copies of the keys and yell at the bank that I was selling a house for 20k (half off!). I managed to resell it 3 times to 3 different new owners. Once while showing it to a potential buyer, I run into the original owner who was inside the house and very confused. That's a different story though.

UO was so good that I still listen to the Stones theme sometimes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mDcGDx4QyA
Seed rounds are largely unaffected atm. You should pitch the team and vision, with a heavy focus on your path to $1M ARR.
Have you seen what America has done in the Middle East the last 20 years? If you want to make a moral point then you should start there instead of trying to grind whatever axe you have against Israel.
I like to think that no one knows my failures better than me. So it’s natural that I’ll think I did worse than I actually did.

Many times I’ve thought I completely fucked it up because I had a plan to do something and I was only able to accomplish 5% of what I wanted. And then others share that they were only expecting 1% or something like that.

Imposter syndrome is real, but I also have to be careful with attributing to imposter syndrome what is actually sucking. I have an area of expertise that I want to keep growing and I need to find ways to get constant checks to see how I’m doing otherwise I’ll just worry and wonder forever.

It also helps that I’ve had similar experiences to this story where people I really respected and thought knew everything shared their weaknesses and revealed others that they felt the same about.

It’s comforting how much in common people have.
Ultima online was the coolest. Heres one of my stories.
In UO housing was at a premium. Buying a house was a big deal. But if you didnt periodically log in to refresh your house, eventually, it would start to crumble..

Since you could tell which houses were about to crumble, and crumbling means all the belongings in the house would fall to the ground and a new house could be put in its place, this was a big deal. Campers would come from all around to camp out all the falling down house. Guilds would show up.
Anyways during one epic battle at a house near the coast, my buddies and I were camping out at the house to try to get some loot. Battles ensue
At one point, a bunch of role players pulled up in a boat from the coast and started shooting arrows at everyone trying to camp at the house
very cool. Would love to know the size of the team that built this. Like learning about people that create interesting new products.
Without going to the validity of your statement, "modern conservatives" is a subset of non-liberals. You're addressing a minority of the non-liberals and therefore not representing the whole.

Not everyone who is not liberal is a conservative, modern or otherwise.

I used the term "non-liberal" on purpose.

There's a tradeoff between software skills and algorithmic skills. These guys are really really serious about algorithms, it figures their software isn't as good, none of that recent fancy shit, git at best. And it has to be PERFECT within its context, no fucking up or patching the fuckups with an if-else for that bug.
Thanks. Personally, I feel like such small and widely used mathematical algorithms should not be copyrightable (or using them should fall under fair use). It even has its own Wikipedia page[0], where the source code is also reproduced without copyright notice.

Not everywhere. Most of the industrialised world does not build new combined sewers. So if you live in a city that didn't exist say, fifty years ago, the storm water sewers and foul water sewers have always been separate, and as a result there's no Combined Sewer Overflow.

Some US cities in the middle are like this, nobody (to a first approximation) lived there in 1901, and today there may be a small city with an airport and a decent night life. But in Europe, and on the US coasts, the cities are older.

In theory, you can separate existing combined sewers. For a town you could maybe attempt this as a large local infrastructure project over the course of a year or two, in a small city this is a large and expensive project that could take decades to complete. For somewhere like London or San Francisco it's unthinkably costly and won't be attempted in the foreseeable future.

A small sign of willingness to attempt this, combined with the difficult reality of such work goes like this, I live in Southampton, an important port city on England's south coast:

1. Legally, if you fit a new grey water waste (e.g. from a shower, or a washing machine), it should flow into the sanitary sewer, which your home is plumbed into usually via large black pipes that run mostly vertically up the side of the building. It must not flow into the storm water sewer, which is often smaller rectangular pipes connecting to the gutter where they collect roof water.

2. But, there's probably a gutter pipe right near where your waste is, while the sanitary sewer could be on the far side of the property. So, does the plumber do the extra work, and charge you for it? Or do they just cut into the storm water sewer and save their time and your money?

3. Result: Now if you separate the storm water sewer, it has grey water waste flowing into it, and you're dumping that into the sea. Oops.

Not in the USA, where the "first-sale doctrine" means once you buy a book, you can do whatever you want with that copy of the book (lend, rent, sell, destroy) without needing a license. Libraries in the USA definitely don't pay a fee beyond the purchase price of the book (or they can legally lend donated books etc). Copyright holders don't make any additional money from library lending.

I am not familiar with how it works in other countries, but I have heard something about there being such a fee.

(It's not quite true to say libraries have existed for "millenia" though, with regard to this issue. Mass produced printing hasn't in fact existed for millenia, libraries 1000 years ago had hand-copied manuscripts, probably mostly scrolls. The effect on "the market"? For whatever reason authors were writing then it was not to make money by selling reproductions of their writings, that wasn't a thing. Which means, yeah, btw, people still wrote things and made up stories even when they couldn't make money by charging people for copies to read...)
Last year Chiptole launched a game to win a Tesla. No winner was ever announced
On June 23, 2021, Chipotle announced "Race to Rewards" contest, a top down retro racing game where players had 48 hours to try and get the highest score playing. There were various prizes in the top 10 list, with #1 being a Tesla Model 3.

The racing game was mainly one of endurance, the longer a player could last without crashing, the greater their chances of getting higher score. It didn't take long for some players to write scripts to keep their car going for hours, automatically detecting obstacles and switching lanes. Nowhere in the contest rules was this or any kind of scripted play explicitly forbidden.

Despite this, the contest period came and went, and Chipotle has never made an official announcement on any winners for the top 10 prizes, including the Model 3.

Several media outlets reported on the contest when it was launched. Apparently none of them followed up on the winners.

> Network weights are just a db written in an incomprehensible format

That makes all the difference IMHO, its complexity makes it much more than "just a DB". The synthesis part takes into account the context also, so it does intelligent things automatically, a smart SQL query does not.

My brain also works kinda like this. My knowledge is encoded in an incomprehensible format and I convert my knowledge into code based on the problem at hand.
Wouldn't you rather have a healthy dose of skepticism and pessimism surrounding new inventions? Even if the negativity is off base, it's far more preferable to a world where everyone is always positive and praises what geniuses the creators are. The former atleast breeds discourse while the latter only serves to make people feel good.
It depends on the interpretation of "substantial portions". Classic challenge with legal documents.

Here's a discussion about that usage in the MIT license: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/2188
People often do write things because they learned a common approach at a previous job or because they saw such an approach when reading someone else’s code. People are often hired specifically because they have experience in a certain area from a previous employer, so are dointhe same sort of thing at a higher level.

We fought this battle over a couple of decades with remix culture (“you stole that line/beat out of my song!”) and the world is better because the over-clingers lost.

There is no shortage of reasons not to like copilot, but I don’t consider this one of them.
An interesting exercise would be recreating an entire program/tool that is GPL using copilot and releasing under a less restrictive license. Could one could argue that the effort put into cobbling together a knock-off is enough to constitute an original work?

Unikernel is what you're interested in, but it's not as easy as taking some Linux-based server software and spitting out a bootable image for baremetal. If you strip the kernel and OS out you lose the network stack and all kinds of system services that most software depends on directly.

I think Google's distroless container images are worth checking out as a quasi-alternative: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless You use them as a base for a docker image and copy in your server code. These images are tailor made to strip out _everything_ that's not necessary to run the software--there's no shell for example. So you're still running a Linux kernel, libc, etc. but there's nothing there for an attacker to use other than your app code. You yourself can't even get into a shell to debug or examine what the state of your app is (which can actually be kind of aggravating in development).
Ultimately, this is the same line of thinking used by drug dealers and cartels. “It’s where consumer demand is, I’m just going where $ is and supplying a need. They should stop using my addictive product.”

You’ll then say, well, it’s as long as it’s legal. And then you’ve outsourced your morals to the letter of the law, in which you’d be a dutiful Nazi in The Third Reich.
Does anyone find it ridiculous to try to target an market based solution to the problem through intentionally overfishing a species to extinction? Is that how we believe fishing markets work?

If you really want to eliminate the species, you don’t need people to find them palatable. You just need to pay per carp. Look at what was nefariously done to the bison, with the famous photos of the stacked bison skulls. We didn’t need to first build a marketing campaign to sell bison burgers, it was simply cash for kills. You could of course put the carp into dog food fish sticks or whatever, but it sounds like this is an emergency and not something that can wait for diets to adapt.

What you are doing is very certainly illegal
wat. domains and certs have nothing to do with handing your agent an earnest money check. (Which is typically a few thousand, not 20.) The multiple parties involved all work through contracts and a formal closing process.

If you are trying to argue that we don't have the right processes in place online, everyone is agreeing with you. Just work with licensed agents and brokers, using existing processes, and you are fine.

But you seem to be pushing for a dialogue where we say that the tried and true offline processes have lost trust just because we have not successfully replaced them online. We have not gone backwards in that way. We haven't gone forwards to something new either, but the status quo still works just like it always has.

It still sounds to me like you are working with some sketchy people, based on what you are describing to us all. Your described experience is not the norm.
I actually found it much easier to read AFTER reading, of all things, a book I bought at Costco called Heroes of Middle Earth. It was a very condensed run through the various personalities from the earliest days of Middle Earth up through the LOTR saga, written in a very pop culture style. After that basic familiarization with some key names and roles they played in some of the events from the first through third ages, it was much easier to follow the Silmarillion and I very much enjoyed it.
I don't expect, or support, licensing that small amount of code, and suing everyone to oblivion.

The point I'm trying to make is if something is under a copyleft license, you can't copy and paste it verbatim to something non-copyleft. It's what the license says.

Also, to be pedantic, the function I'm commenting on is pure maths, and you can't license/patent mathematics.

On the other hand, if there's some magic sauce of doing something, let it be 25 lines, what will you say? It's just 25 lines, so you can't license it? To be more pedantic, I actually have an algorithm, which is around 25 lines and does something novel. I've published a paper on it.

If I license the reference implementation with AGPLv3+, and you use it and close it, and if I can't go after you, what's the purpose of the license?

You can read the paper and try to implement it. It's free in that regard.
It makes sense, doesn't it?

A TensorFlow Re-Implementation of CheXNet – Localization of Thoracic Diseases
TL:DR; need help making heatmaps!
Repository: https://dagshub.com/nirbarazida/Pneumonia-Classification
Colab Notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1U3F5ETJeisBnlmamR4EqigS7shIbL2L1

Hey everyone -

I've been working to reproduce [CheXNet](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.05225.pdf) - a fantastic paper describing research on a model capable of radiologist-grade pathology classification!

CheXNet uses Class Activation Mappings (CAMs for short) to generate heatmaps that identify what parts of the image the model uses to base its classification. In my case, I'm facing a bit of a struggle reproducing them - most of our classifications are derived from the diaphragm, instead of regions within the lung. Curiously, we are attaining a reasonable AUROC, with .773 on training and .749 on validation data - the paper reports .8062 AUROC.

My current model is being trained on a subsample of the main dataset, and I'm basically looking to this as a way to validate the architecture. I'd love to know if anyone has experienced similar issues and solved them, and could have any input here as well.

If you have a moment to spare - I'd be super grateful for some help from the hackernews community in solving the inaccurate localization issue! [https://dagshub.com/nirbarazida/Pneumonia-Classification/issues/58]

An incorrect localization, despite a correct classification: https://dagshub.com/nirbarazida/Pneumonia-Classification/raw/4c1414d3cd5cf8c693a4f7931843495bd4d96751/evaluating/heatmap_eval/00005532_000_Cardiomegaly.png

Even though 2017 is on the date, this appears to cover up to 2012, which is a bummer, since it is an interesting topic, but I'd rather see an analysis that included more recent data. I feel that the time period covered represents only the transition from single to multi core, and I wonder what the impact looks like as we have developed tools and techniques for dealing with parallel software. Still, was an interesting read!
Unified memory is and always has been a cost cutting tactic. Its not a feature not matter how much manufacturers who use it try to claim it is.
So, it's not the employer's responsibility to comply with the law? :-)
IANAL. My understanding is that the general legal precedent in the US is that a) datamining text has no copyright implications (in the same way that reading a book has no copyright implications) and b) it is not a copyright violation to use a small amount of copyrighted material provided the context is sufficiently transformative. This might seem silly or unfair to you, but that is the current legal reality.

But even ignoring that, everybody uploading code to GitHub has given GitHub the right to analyze that code as per the GitHub ToS. This is the same mechanism by which you can't upload code to GitHub with a license that says "nobody is allowed to display this code on the internet" and then sue GitHub.
