There's an interesting interview with Syd Mead about his work on Blade Runner here: [1]

Mead also worked on Tron (among other films) and George Lucas made the AT-AT based on Mead's art.[2]

Not all jobs are boring. I worked as a life guard and taught swim lessons as a teen. I made great friends, we had pool parties, and I enjoyed teaching and it felt good to buy/save for things myself rather than always ask my parents for money
Honest curiosity is refreshing. Additional info: once a woman has had an ectopic pregnancy, any subsequent pregnancy has about a 10% risk of also being ectopic.

So when I had a big early 40th birthday surprise, I went straight to my gyno for her to make sure it wasn’t going to be a repeat - especially since we already had plans to visit my family back in Texas a few weeks after that. Then, the concern was merely financial/logistical. Now…

The (mostly) happy ending: a boringly normal pregnancy that left me with lingering back pain and numbness in some toes, and the most wonderful little boy that I’d given up on having years before.

I'm not sure about that. It definitely would have been more interesting if I saw it when it was novel, but the biggest fans of it always say I'll love it if I just watch cuts that came out a lot later.

I saw it on opening day in 1982. I was pretty disappointed in it. But the original theatrical release was actually not good, and really did need the re-edits. Maybe not six re-edits, but still.
I actually prefer to "just code" by cleaning up old messes than by working on new features, but regardless - I absolutely want nothing to do with the ops side, and I will quit on the spot if anyone tries to hand me a pager. It's a different skill set; it's not what I do, nor want to do.

The guy who mentioned LDS was spot on. I wandered into one of their "family research centers" once and they spent an hour with me, all free.

Unfortunately, as I've discovered myself, it is NOT true that everything is digitized. If it even is, it might just be the images (not OCR'ed).

I found my own family in the 1950 US census (just released), and I did it by knowing what street they lived on, and searching about 40 handwritten records from their "Enumeration District" until I found that street. And that's relatively recent, and it's in English.

But maybe you'll be lucky. Good luck.
A Professor of Strategic Studies at the University of St. Andrews also seems to think Russia is exhausting its combat capability. (Interesting Twitter thread...)

https://twitter.com/PhillipsPOBrien/status/15410363767030906...

The strategic studies professor says "the Russians are only making an effort in a very small area of the line.... This scaling back is a sign of failure. The Russians have shown no ability to make and exploit a breakthrough in the Donbas (indeed I haven't seen anything worthy of being called a breakthrough in the whole battle). They make small, incremental, expensive advances.

"Russian failure has led them to 'recalibrate' their entire plan and add very limited objectives. They have finally achieved one (seizing SDonetsk) but compared to where we were on April 18, this was probably the least ambitious objective Russia could have set.... The Ukranian withdrawal from Severodonetsk is not some great 'strategic' victory for Russia. It does not effect in any way Ukraine's ability to regenerate force and keep fighting the war. At best its a tactical adjustment."

"Also worth pointing out that there are signs of a growing Ukrainian resistance movement behind Russian lines."

There will always be suburbs because a lot of Americans want suburbs (see this thread). America has plenty of land and so if people want suburbs and there is plenty of land to build them I don’t see them going extinct. In other places in this thread people point to places like Japan lacking suburbs, but the difference is that America is huge. If we allow denser zoning there will come a point at which enough dense housing has been built for the people that want it, right now that isn’t possible because it isn’t allowed.

You said “if you don’t like it don’t live there”, I’m saying that I would love to live somewhere besides the suburbs, but as others have identified most nice areas that are dense walkable are very expensive because they are no longer legal to build
So many startups went under at the same time that our liquidation firm combined the bankruptcy sale for our startup with that of another in our building at the same time into one auction.

I think it was worse. No one needed the internet back then, but now it is integrated into everything, so the whole internet cannot be dismissed as superfluous as it was then.

However, do note that there seem to have been no jobs at all in the field for a few years. I doubt that will happen again, but it did happen.
The first couple episodes were phenomenal, and the world building / acting was top notch all the way through.

I was willing to tolerate some of the meandering story lines / characters, since they were clearly leading to something in season 3. I felt like it was one of those shows where subplots / characters seem like filler, but then, in hindsight, you realize there was nothing they could cut. Unfortunately, that means that much of season 2 is setting up for ??? in cancelled season 3.
> Are you ever proven wrong as the questioner.

The biggest mistake made by humans is to think that they are always right. Very often, questioners don't realize that their line of reasoning has flaws. Their stubbornness in pursuing a contradiction only succeeds if there is a contradiction they were already aware of. Otherwise, it just makes the questioner appear as an asshole
Agreed. It also goes back to the sys admin problem which devops optimised in that the Dev team owns there code in production.

I've seen success with a dedicated devops member on a team but having a dedicated devops team just introduces delays and latency when fixing pipelines or releasing. The very same problem we had with sys admins.

I love that the media is reporting on America growing apart when the media is the reason. The Atlantic is one of the worst at being biased up there with Fox news and CNN.

How about the media quits preying on unaware people's ingroup outgroup instincts and starts focusing on things that unite instead of divide.
Dropping ddclient into a docker container as part of your compose files takes very few resources, and keeps your domain name pointed to your current public IP through changes. I've been running that for years without any maintenance besides remembering how to use the config file when I need to add a new domain.

As I'm writing though, that probably wouldn't help in most university network setups, which the article mentioned. Tunneling is probably the path of least resistance there.
The comment was focused on those who can afford an EV but choose not to get one, not those who cannot afford one. Nuance. Consider it in the context of the comment above it, complaining that it takes a bit longer to charge than fueling a combustion vehicle. Citation 5 in my above comment even shows EVs to be 3-6 times cheaper to operate.

We want to help the poor; enact a carbon tax and rebate scheme. Let wealthy carbon consumers buy low income folks EVs. They are unable to afford them on their own.

I have a great deal of compassion for genuine hardship. I do not have compassion for voluntary suboptimal economic decisions by people of means out of a minimal amount of convenience sacrificed.
> The "woke" insult

That's one hell of self inflicted insult if that's how you feel.

To quote myself: "Woke is used because we know who we're referring to, as do you."
No the reality is many big budget films are targeted towards AS MANY PEOPLE AS possible. It doesn't make business sense to target one demographic. Business people target qualities that hit as many demographics as possible.

In short you could say that the mainstream general audience is what the big budget move is target-ted towards.

Something like the MCU which is over a decade old doesn't fit your thinking. If the first movie IRON MAN, which "targetted teens" is a decade old then most of those teens who watched END GAME that another movie that targeted the people who watched the first iron man are no longer teens. They aged out. If iron man targetted teens then end game didn't. So most likely all these super hero blockbusters are just targeting all demographics. Don't be so shallow in thinking that only teens are "dumb" enough to like super hero movies. Plenty of other demographics and "smart" people appreciate blockbuster entertainment.

End game had clear nostalgia references to people who watched the first iron man and his death only had emotional meaning to those who followed him for over a decade. Younger people in fact tend to think of the MCU as stupid, because iron man came out when they were too young to be interested. I've found people in their early 20s have this attitude and I'm guessing that's you. To me someone in their 20s is practically a teen.

Older people appreciate the MCU because their memory stretches back further. They don't see the MCU as a decade of cookie cutter copies because that decade only takes up a tiny fraction of their own cinematic life time. They see that everything that came before the MCU was different and the MCU is unique. Meanwhile young people who've seen the MCU all their lives see it as stupid because that's all they've seen their entire short lives.

> So it shouldn't matter.

It definitely does matter that any secrets generated were already public:

* Emitting secrets from private repos would be a huge confidentiality issue (though really you shouldn't commit code secrets to git at all), as it'd be taking something that's private + exploitable and making it public

* Emitting secrets that are already public doesn't cause the confidentiality issue. Once a secret is out, it's out, and should be changed immediately. By the time it's in Copilot's training set, it'll have already been on search engines/archive sites/black-hat forums/etc.

Tangentially, GitHub do also do some scanning to alert of accidentally committed secrets in repos: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/secret-scanning/abo...

> 2. Already public unintentionally.

Right, but therefore already compromised and no longer confidential. Copilot isn't leaking any secrets, someone else did by making them public.

> AFAIK, any code that I produce is automatically copyrighted to me. This means if I write something in public and not provide a license, IT IS LEGALLY under the copyright protection provided to me by my country. At least that is the case in US and India which are home to a huge portion of OSS.

Essentially correct, to my understanding. If you're making it public, you'll generally also give some hosting/publishing/distribution rights to the services involved - as specified by their T&C.

> Reproducing it and remixing my work would be illegal

The US has the concept of fair use which provides exceptions for "transformative” purposes. For example: copying and downscaling your image to use as a thumbnail, caching the webpage your work is on, or creating a parody of your work.

Consider Google Books for example, where Google scanned millions of copyrighted books and made them searchable (showing snippets). This was ruled fair use due to being transformative.

Question would be whether code generated by Copilot that falls under this. Ultimately it's up to the courts to decide, but I'd lean in favor of "yes".

> The PII and secrets is enough to find out the license of a repo which would make it easier to prove whether they violated it or not. Don't tell me all OSS that copilot has trained on is only public domain stuff. Even ISC license needs attribution.

Fair use is about unlicensed usage, so if it's fair use then it doesn't need to abide by the terms of the licenses. Even if it's ruled not to be fair use, I think they could still train it on GitHub-hosted code due to the mentioned rights you give them by agreeing to GitHub's T&C.

> How does that change anything I mentioned? Very curious.

Changes your claim of impossibility, so now it's just about whether there's a violation.

Exactly. It's not about making developers to do more work, it's about having some "DevOps engineer" or Ops/Infra guy working close with the Dev team, by being involved on the day to day development and decision making. Instead of having to open tickets and waiting X time for it to be resolved by the Infra team (who by the way, a lot of time doesn't fully understand the applications, it's constrains, tech debts, needs, etc).

> you’re arguing that the “purpose to cause” language is irrelevant. I don’t see that in my reading.

Does it alarm you at all that the responses you're getting consist of (1) the suggestion that you're not able to read past the 14th word in a sentence, and (2) the observation "I don't see how anyone could say that with a straight face"?

> Can you break it down for me?

The statute is written very clearly on this point. It states two requirements for the offense to be committed; there is a state-of-mind requirement and an actual-conduct requirement. Both elements must be satisfied.

The actual-conduct requirement is satisfied by any one of three prongs (of which I quoted only the first two, because I didn't think there was a reasonable argument that public heroin use might satisfy the third). There appears to be very little dispute about its structure.

The state-of-mind requirement is satisfied by any one of two prongs. It states:

> A person is guilty of disorderly conduct if, with purpose to cause public inconvenience, [14] annoyance or alarm or recklessly creating a risk thereof, he or she...

For your convenience, I've marked the position following the 14th word in the sentence. Your argumentation so far has relied very heavily on pretending the words following that position do not exist. But they do.

Continuing from that point, we see that "public inconvenience" is not part of the necessary state of mind. Someone who intends to commit disorderly conduct may also do so with the purpose to cause public annoyance or public alarm. And more importantly, there is no intentionality requirement at all; the necessary state of mind is possessed by anyone "recklessly creating a risk of public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm". This prong is obviously satisfied by anyone who is high on heroin in public.

We can represent the structure of the statute very easily in Python-like pseudocode:

if ( defendant.intended_public_alarm()
or
defendant.recklessly_risked_public_alarm() )
and
defendant.actually_caused_public_alarm() ):
# the offense has been committed; check whether it's a
# violation or a misdemeanor

You're arguing that whenever intended_public_alarm returns False, the overall statement will also evaluate to False, which suggests a very alarming inability to understand Boolean logic. Or, of course, an inability to see words that occur after the 14th position in a sentence. But there is no good-faith reading of the statute that could be argued to support your view.

Do you seriously intend to argue that the state-of-mind element is meant to include these four categories?

1. People with the purpose to cause public inconvenience;

2. People with the purpose to cause public annoyance;

3. People with the purpose to cause public alarm;

4. People with the purpose to recklessly creating a risk of public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm.

And that, leaving aside the gross ungrammaticality of category 4, the four categories were strung together in parallel in a list with the structure "a, b or c or d"?

You can search for sold listings to see what price an item has recently sold for. It’s not that useful though for rare items that are not in frequent demand.

Part of the reason the “buy it now” is so popular is as a seller sometimes buyers make an offer for an auctioned item then once you refuse they bid up the price so they win but then they don’t transfer the money.

> Zimbabwe tried redistributing farms but it turned out horribly for them.

The keyword here is "idle". An "idle" landlord is unproductive and unlikely to riot. What happened in Zimbabwe is a power grab. It's usually the leaders taking a nice pie, and sharing the rest with the (in this case black) poor population. This destroys whatever little wealth the country had.
That's very closed minded of you to say that. Because I never said this.

Probably a better way to put it is this. If you like Blade Runner AND the MCU, or at least understand why from a mainstream perspective the MCU is a work of art that stands on the same level as blade runner, then I don't despise you.

If you like Blade runner and you hate all forms of movies that are mainstream blockbusters like star wars, MCU, or all the other stuff and think those things are beneath you... then yes... in that case I despise you. I actually think you don't have the sophistication to see why mainstream cinema is just as great if not often greater then the obscure stuff.

It's easy to hate the mainstream. It's enlightenment to like the mainstream after hating it. Those elitest people are just at level 2. They don't realize there's a third level that brings you back full circle.
