Yep, that was one of the aspects that came to mind. I wonder if anyone has trained up a bunch of Marilyn Monroe images to generate new content of her?

What's the legal precedent for for those images? Does it depend on the source set of data? If that's public domain, does that mean new images are owned by the producer (who is likely to be someone else entirely)? Is it more like someone that draws a likeness of someone else (I'm not sure the copyright of that either, but it's probably well defined by this point).

> If there is a pandemic and all the supply chains breakdown.

Under a localist model, your people can still survive because they do not depend on global supply chain and can still have a functioning economy.

What I am asking you is to imagine a less radical version of an Amish community. Less focus on economic output and more focus on resiliency. Try to keep your economy as local as possible and do not over-generalize. Do not think of industries as something that has "strategic value" and instead let them develop as much as it is required to fulfill the needs of your citizens. This way, your community will have plenty of redundancy and no one will be at the mercy of any other external entity.

Neurosurgeons have a very skewed view of the statistical likelihood of head injury. They see such injuries every day, and it can most definitely make them believe that the risks involved are much greater than they actually are.

Installing a TPM module and then failing to get the computer to boot suggests that they don't know how to use the TPM in concert with an operating system. It's possible they don't even know what TPM is for or why they enabled/installed it in the first place.
Thank you for pointing this out. Lately I've been getting a culty feeling around Rust which has been turning me off to learning it.
I'm currently doing work that uses Elixir's Ecto which goes a great deal towards what I think you're aiming at. I can write my SQL in a familiar, yet functional and composable style; while knowing what SQL will be produced in the end. Ecto, as I understand it, was inspired by Microsoft's/c# LINQ. I've not worked with that, but heard similar praises for that as exists with Ecto.

I'm saying this as with most of my experience being in SQL.
I thought this would be about an actual physics term, love numbers, but no, this is about metaphysics nonsense.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_number
I think you would have to have similar arguments for consciousness as well?

Certainly I don't think there's much argument that the laws of physics are a moderately good fit for observed phenomenon. They came about by generations of physicists refining previous models.

I would consider the question of why mathematical models that fit observed phenomenon exist at all to be an open question.
It really makes me sad that people are even willing to create these systems. It would haunt me forever if I took part in writing something like this.

No.

Inactivity leak is an emergency measure to restore liveness when the network stops finalizing blocks. It happens when >33% of validators are offline(WW3 scenario), major bug in widespread implementation, etc.

Your link explains that.

ETH2 is friendly to home stackers - you may lose some profit by being offline sometimes, and in the worst case minor penalties are applied.

EDIT: If you are interested in a much better description of what happens if you are offline, see this:

Some points from the link:

- penalties =/= slashing

- If you are online > 42.5% of the sime - you are earning profits
Developers remove Denuvo after n months because they have to pay ongoing fees to make use of it, and the majority of their sales (when they're most worried about piracy) will be at release. It's just a cost savings measure.
Full disk encryption as in Bitlocker?
As someone who cycles everywhere (at least when I cant get a train/bus) cycling always leaves me quite relaxed by the end, although I do tend to stay away from roads when I can (benefits of decent infrastructure).

Everyone seems to get angry when on or near roads, this isn't really exclusive to cyclists.
My car crumpled perfectly and my only injuries were scrapes from the airbag. The other driver broke a few ribs.

I will never forget the split second I recognized there was a huge mass of metal coming straight at me at a high speed and I resigned to the fact that it would probably mean life altering injuries. Good thing I wore my seat belt!
This just means that circumvention will be an lucrative industry.

For heated seats, someone will add a bypass that just adds a physical switch that is spliced directly somewhere between a power source and the actual heating element. Just have to figure out an aesthetic place to mount it. The only downside being, in this case you can't control it via an aPp or through the tablet that replaced the actual console controls. Big loss.

There isn't much from stopping the manufacturers from changing the "up front" deal under this model. (Unless it becomes egregious enough to become illegal.) We'd like to get out in front of this and stop it from getting to that point.
Nope. Sorry but you don’t get to hijack the term “open source”. There’s a reason we have gone to considerable lengths to define it https://opensource.org/osd

Openness is an important principle and it includes not discriminating against fields of endeavour. Think “open society” not “open jar”.

And if you disagree? Well, then I have some free software to sell you!

> Software developers who have any business sense will tell you that customers presume that open-source is synonymous with source-available.

As a software developer with business sense, I call BS on this made-up “fact”. All true scotsmen agree with me.
You might be surprised at how true that can be. At least for many residential doors, outside of "high crime" areas where the resident may have beefed things up with a fox lock or something.

An average sized guy, who learns to "mule kick" well and aims for the right spot, can breach a pretty good percentage of doors in my experience. (Source: former firefighter here.)
As sibling comments have mentioned, this is a valid complaint. It is useful to remember that SQL is an old language already, and there are plenty of warts that in all of this time have been observed. The same way C is old, and there are things to be apreciated about fresh attempts like Zig, Rust, Swift, Nim.
In general, corporations will use some weasel words when reporting breaches.

They will say "we have evidence that a subset of x/y/z data was accessed". You might think that means they have evidence that the other data wasn't accessed, but what it means is that they only currently have explicit indicators of certain data being accessed (such as a exported zip file that bad actors forgot to delete, or the log of one sql query, etc). It really means very little, and companies (internally) usually assume everything on the breached server was accessed, even if externally they only report on obvious breadcrumbs.

They also say "We detected access on xyz date and immediately worked to close the vulnerability". You might think this means that they know that this was they have evidence that this was the first access, but it only means this was the first obvious alert they noticed and responded to. There might be earlier accesses (even some they already know about).

They are intentionally vague to limit their legal liability. This is why laws must be passed to compel full disclosure.
I prefer "brains in seats" vs "butts in seats".
Docker Swarm all the way.

Started with 1 node acting as manager and worker at the same time. Then added more 2 nodes, basically 3 nodes all acting as manager and workers at the same.

Later kept 3 managers and 3 workers and now around 10 workers with the 3 managers.

The cluster is full of apps, celery workers, static apps or SSR.

To manage it I didn't use any UI. The CLI is really simple to use. Later to give less experienced people access to it i instant Portrainer.

It has never stopped working, either upgrading or messing around on production environments.

It just works.

The only and only complain I have id the way it mess around with IPtable rules I have. The docker swarm networking overrides them. There are several approaches, while they work, they always feel like a hack to be honest. But yeah, they work.

It's such a wonderful simple to use software that gets thing.
That's interesting, could it be used on medical imaging to erase noise or somehow highlight tumors or fractures, without software post processing?
I am launching my startup on Typescript (backend and frontend). So far, it's been an amazing experience - I can define the problem in terms of types even before I start writing any executable code, and refactoring is a breeze if you make your types hard enough. There are mature libraries, you can share code between the two sides, infinite options for PaaS providers who can "just deploy" a typescript codebase. As a solo dev, it's saving me an incredible amount of time to go to market.

I've had experience with large codebases in Python, Java, Go and Javascript before.

Python - as everyone already said, just sucks. Refactoring is a nightmare, you have to test every single line of code for any sort of dependability and that makes refactoring even harder. It allows for too much meta-programming and within 3-6 months your codebase is legacy.

Java is just not fun to write for me, but Kotlin is kinda fun and I could see myself choosing that. The problem is that my product deals with a lot of deeply nested, user-defined objects, and converting JSON (or YAML, or XML) to POJOs is a verbosity nightmare.

I just fucking really hate Go. I can't explain it, but I find the language infuriating. It somehow manages to be less expressive, more verbose and more straight up boring than all the other options.
Why do you feel like you're not entitled to compensation for your labor? Where is the line?

I've experienced take home projects that were expected to take "10 hours". If I spend 10 hours on a take home instead of my consultancy I'm out thousands of dollars.

I understand preferring take home projects, I prefer it over whiteboarding too, but I don't understand why you wouldn't be owed compensation. In my opinion the best evaluation is to work with the team on an actual story, task, ticket, etc. where you are paid the listed salary pro-rated for your hours.
>In order to get inflation up to 2% the extreme measures of the last 15 years which drove up the cost of housing to such extreme heights in the first place were taken.

Housing costs greatly outpacing inflation is not a recent phenomena of the last 15 years. In fact, home prices increased faster in the prior 15 years than the last 15 years.

>The government has no direct control over any kind of pricing except the price of money.

I'm not interested in debating the meaning of "direct control", but one rather direct control they have is the federal government could repeal the mortgage interest deduction. That would immediately decrease the financial incentive to buy a home therefore decrease demand and lower prices.
Usenet is worth the price. Sure, you can still VPN if you're super paranoid, and sure, things get DMCA'd (slowly and inconsistently), but with the fairly easy OSS automation out there (radarr, et al, and sabnzbd in my case) everything runs very smoothly (and way faster; I can saturate my gigabit connection for nearly anything regardless of popularity).

Is the objection to the turning a one-time payment into a series of monthly payments? Or is the actual objection that the net present value of those monthly payments is too high?

If you want to turn something that used to cost me $400 one-time into a subscription that costs me $1.49/mo, I'll be happy that you've offered me the subscription and will buy it in subscription form. Charge $9.99/mo for that same subscription and I'll be incensed.

What we see in the Tezos chain (liquid/delegated proof-of-stake) is that big custodial wallets for the exchanges have grown to be the largest block bakers:
https://thestackreport.xyz/articles/top-tezos-block-producer...

With ethereum the staking mechanism is a bit more complex, my understanding is you lock your stake for quite a while so maybe its too risky for the exchanges, but wouldn't be surprised that exchanges will market a 'stake your eth' feature.
That assumes the other 49% won't accept the bad guys' blocks in their chain. Those blocks are valid, so the 49% will accept them and build off of them.

At any point there is still a 49% chance the next block will be mined by a good guy.

If the bad guys decide not to accept the good guys' blocks, then they are hard forking Bitcoin and will end up just like Bitcoin Cash: irrelevant.

This is the exact problem PoW was designed to solve, and it works very well, which is why a 51% attack has never succeeded or even been attempted against Bitcoin, and never will.
My experience having recently had my road bike stolen would disagree. You're spot on about fancy bikes automatically being a target and the importance of your lock job being at a minimum more difficult to get through than the neighbor's. I now have a cheap single speed for my "around town" bike along with a heavy kryptonite ulock.
That "worst part" sounds like the best part from the perspective of someone who has put a lot of time, money, and effort into their game and would like to make some kind of profit.
How fair is it for generations of people to indefinitely hold onto desirable pieces of property they inherited for cheap until the day they die simply because they were born there? Not very.

And someone buying a property could easily be the beginning of new generations of people who will have long history there. Do they not deserve a chance too?

Paying for things is a fair exchange.
sure, but it was the original one. upstream posts contends GNU just brought the license.
Maybe. Only they know. I can't answer your question.

You can mine with one GPU, pool or no.

Stake pooling also eliminates one of the supposed benefits of decentralised cryptocurrency - you have to trust someone else with your currency.

Totally agree with the 'It's the platform, stupid'.

However, I do wonder if for javascript/typescript that's only for 'in browser' stuff.

If you look at the server - one of the best platforms is the JVM - lots of quality libraries - easy to write stable long running processes etc.

ie if you are driven by platform isn't it Javascript on the browser and Java on the JVM on the back?
( typescript or kotlin are both moving a bit away from the platform ).

The beauty of the network ( message passing ) means the stuff on the server doesn't need to be in the same language as that on the client.

Now I'll admit there is some benefit to having front and backend the same, in terms of validation code, or perhaps occassionally moving logic from server to client or back - but does this override the platform effect? Also note you can run js on the JVM/GraalVM - so client/server validation libraries could be written in js and reused both sides.
Well, nothing - in theory. You can, of course, license your code in such a way that you can at least send a cease and desist to a cloner, but that's really only useful in jurisdictions which would enforce it.

But for the example of shapez, there's a lot of added value that's not in the source code. The creator is active in the shapez discord, and there are also paid DLCs on Steam which aren't open source. So there are at least some ways to monetize and make your community loyal that are still compatible with open source.
I don't understand why they need this. Tesla has been selling fully-autonomous cars with L5 automation for years. They totally cracked self driving cars back in 2016, to the extent that "the person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons", and have had 1,000,000 fully autonomous robotaxis on the road since 2020. What work remains to be done?

Still, it is good to see powerful hardware being put to good use for once. I understand it is silly to feel sorry for inanimate objects, but it saddens me to see silicon squandered by some manchild at a national lab working on a dead-end vanity project when it could be crunching numbers for Tesla or—better yet—mining Bitcoin.
Thanks. To me it seems this would greatly damage the value of the assets (like the blockchain wars but for ETH) but yes, it can be recovered from.

I think the problem here is centralization and this can be more easily avoided in PoW (because of energy costs rising a lot if all miners go in one place) instead of PoS (there are no physical restraints, so in theory all staking pools could be in Switzerland).

So politically it's much harder to censor a more decentralized chain.
If US dealed with immigration in the 1930s-1940s like it's done today, the Manhattan project probably would never had happened and Hitler would get the A-bomb first. Is omnious when a nation that owes so much to migrants becomes hostile to them.
Confusing scenarios like you mentioned are why highway code rule 110 says you should only flash your headlights to let drivers know you are there, not to convey a message, and rule 111 says never assume flashing headlights is a signal inviting you to proceed.

Obviously, it's not your fault that someone else interpreted the headlight as an invitation to pull out. And indeed, it's probably one of the most widely ignored rules in the highway code. Nevertheless... it's still the other driver's fault. I've personally had it where other drivers think I've flashed them out, but I had actually just gone over a bump in the road.

(I'm assuming you're British because you say junction.)

That doesn't prove anything. You can solo mine with a single GPU and choose to censor whoever you want. Any miner no matter how small can censor their own blocks.
Looking sideways from a bicycle is not something you do for fun, it's a way to see what drivers are up to. Especially when they drive up beside you it's pretty hard to know what they will do.

So is all the anger in this thread based on a hypothetical that they might break their contract? If it's an ongoing payment they're actually incentivised to not do that!
Your totally valid point aside, GPUs have cratered. There’s actually a glut of them now. The 3090ti price was recently cut in half and the rumor mill is the 40 series was over provisioned based on crypto demand which has now also cratered, so there will be a lot of stock on the market. Now is a good time to look at upgrading if you haven’t in a bit.
Only for certain modes of that experience:

there is already far more content than I will ever be able to consume in 50 lifetimes.

My distaste for a lot of contemporary cultural products aside (I'm okay if they never make another episode of Cheers or MASH, but I can see how that would happen if the creators weren't being paid for that), it feels likely to me that if commercial media ceased production I still wouldn't run out of stuff to watch even if I lived longer than I expect.
