There are definitely lines to be crossed. Let me tell you about one of them.

There is a comics creator named Kieth Giffen. He's done a lot of solid work over the years for DC and Marvel, there's a playful love of the medium and its history that flows through a lot of his work. At first his style was pretty middling; nothing terrible, nothing to really stand out from the pack. Then one day his work changed dramatically - he got a lot more daring in spotting his blacks, inking with a heavier brush, and doing a lot of panels that were a closeup of a backlit head with rim lighting, and eyes and teeth standing out in white. It was grounded in observation but had a lot of fresh ways to abstract a scene in the service of story. It was like nothing else on the racks and really striking.

It was also completely swiped from the work of an Argentinian artist named José Muñoz. Pick up one of Muñoz's shadow-drenched crime stories, put it next to one of Giffen's superhero tales, and you could clearly see the influence. And not just the influence, influence is okay - Giffen had started entirely cloning Muñoz's style, completely dropping all his other influences in the process. Muñoz was not happy when he heard about this, and neither were other artists in the field of comics. Influence is one thing, everyone's influenced by other artists, and if you're familiar with an artist's influences you can tell. But dropping all your other influences to start drawing almost exactly like a new one? That's just not done.

Giffen got a lot of shit for this. Giffen quit comics for a couple of years after this, and when he came back he had a new look. He still does the Shadowy Muñoz Face now and then but it's more along the lines of one of the many things he's borrowed from his multiple influences rather than one of the ways he was wholesale ripping off Muñoz.

"Style theft" is completely legal in the eyes of the court. There was nothing legally actionable going on here. But in the court of his fellow artists, Giffen was judged, and found guilty.

There's a range here. Nobody's going to care if you pick up a collection of Winsdor McCay's pioneering 19xx comic strip "Little Nemo" and do a dream-themed story that borrows his distinctive panel composition, lettering, and inking choices. Nobody's going to care if you do one drawing that precisely lifts Mike Mignola's heavy use of black and thin, clear lines. If you do superheros long enough then you're pretty much obligated to do at least one story that emulates Jack Kirby as closely as you can. If you worked as someone's assistant for a half a decade then you are very much allowed to bust out a perfect rendition of their style at any point in your entire life. But there is definitely a line you can cross where every artist (and a lot of non-artists) who sees a side-by-side view of what you're doing and what you're swiping from will say "dude, not cool, stop swiping their style".

These image generators actively encourage adding the names of prominent, living artists to your prompts to get the results you want. Is this crossing the same line Kieth Giffen did?

In this thread you call people lazy and effectively claim they should roll their own E2EE crypto. And you write off using others non security software.

What if they aren't professional cryptographers? Would you still recommend that to?
> The idea that even a minority of women do _anything_ for attracting men is quite wrong when you look at actual behavior rather than day time television. The converse is also true. I find it astonishing that a country which is 85%+ fat has some how convinced itself that it has a problem of unrealistic body expectations. We're closer to the world represented in wall-e than that of playboy.

Best post thus far, well done.
You might be right, though it's Linux only, and still has a "coming soon" as documentation. Worth keeping an eye on, but seems more in the experimental phase compared to bun.
I once managed to barely jump and slide over the hood of a car that came up behind me and turned - at considerable speed - right into the pedestrian crossing I had been traversing on a green light. The driver looked right through me, didn’t even realize it until my - corner of the eye induced - leap. I would be dead for 15 years now if that would have been a SUV. Lots of people really don’t seem to have a good grasp of the sheer physics involved while driving these tanks especially.
Given how many people fundamentally refuse to distinguish between C and C++, this may be a lost cause.

I've done several road trips through these areas and I'd like to push back on the idea that these projects are going to change the landscape forever. There is so much wide open space inhabited by basically no one that a wind farm or solar farm will barely be noticed, especially since the windy spots are usually isolated. No one wants to live where the wind blows hard all the time.

People don't understand the scale of the amount of space. For example, some people get all worked up about Bill Gates being the largest farm land owner in America. He owns about 270,000 acres, which if put together would be a square 20 miles to the side. That's a small state county.

As I see it, 3 of the 4 tests are strongly in OpenAI's favor; the 'market effect' is mixed.

(1) The use is highly transformative;

(2) the images used were offered to the anonymous browsing public (with watermarks);

(3) the end effect of training will only retain a tiny spectral distilled essence of any individual photo, or even a giant source corpus;

(4) there's a potential risk of market competition from the ultimate model output, for some uses – but that's also the most 'transformative' aspect.

Getty et al could potentially just ask creators of such models not to include their images – perhaps by blocking their crawling 'User-Agent' – and it might not make any real difference in the models.
She might also want to take s look at MurenaOS (LineageOS fork) and NetGuard.

Andrew Tate got caught sexually abusing females. YouTube banned him for that. He lives in Romania to continue his sexual abuse against females. #MeToo is why he no longer lives in America. Romania's government is controlled by outdated misogynists who live in the 20th century mentality with modern technology. So, Romania is an incel haven for Andrew Tate. Men follow Andrew Tate because they are misguided. They and Andrew are a symptom of collapsing civilization internationally. Very wealthy oligarchs are making our world destroyed while destroying families for profit. Families get destroyed by increasing wealth inequality, drug abuse, alcoholism, America's military-industrial complex, etc. Which is why the emergence of incels like Andrew Tate happens. This incel behavior is a symptom of civilization collapsing. YouTube is controlled by the very rich tyrants who make our world burn. It's just that Andrew Tate got caught by enough people to ruin his reputation. So, YouTube is making an exception by banning Andrew Tate.
This is the worst straw-man I've seen this year. Realistically, non-cute homebrew names would look like bin, libexec, repo, that is to say descriptive names that are already in common use, not GUIDs.

Popos works really well on the desktop. All of the games that I play run perfectly on linux, albeit with slightly higher resource usage. Couple that with a windows 10 vm and there is no reason for me to boot into my windows installation ever again.
Ah, this is so well said, thank you. It's true, life is about cultivating yourself, growing relationships, nurturing knowledge and skills over time, watering the garden, taking out the weeds, feeding the animals, planting trees.

And I suppose I agree with the posted article's title, that every action is an investment of energy into developing better selves, others, the surrounding environment as an interconnected living system.
Oh, I think that's relatively new? Tried to do exactly that a year or two back but wasn't recognized then.

RIPE Atlas is an amazing project. I remember getting 3 probes at a NANOG and telling my coworkers about it. They couldn't believe that it was a free project, and that I didn't have to pay anything for the probes. Great stuff from RIPE, for free! (Anchors cost dough but probes were free)
The odds are in your favor to be honest. I live in a city of 4 million people. 10-20 cyclist die a year. I'll roll those dice when the variance is that high. I figure I bike safer than the average biker I see on the road anyhow, so my odds of survival go up even higher. Probably not a small number of those accidents involved intoxicated bikers or mentally ill; I see a lot of people, clearly out of their mind through mental illness or addiction or both, biking the wrong way into traffic, or otherwise not being aware of anything at all and blithely riding (sometimes pedestrians just walking on the freeway too). Things I do to be safe while biking that I rarely see others do:

- taking the lane

- wearing a helmet

- using lights

- filtering to the front of the intersection

- opting for those 25mph residential roads that hardly have any traffic whenever possible

- "dutch left": instead of cutting over across traffic to turn left as a car would, I instead go straight almost all the way through the intersection on the right hand side, turn right in front of the stopped perpendicular cars, and then angle myself to go straight on that perpendicular road when the lights cycle to green.
> 1. Will Oven adopt a security policy for Bun? (https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/security)

Yes.

> 2. What measures is Oven taking to proactively detect and mitigate vulnerabilities? (e.g.: fuzzing, audits, bug bounties)

Fuzzing will begin soon. Regular security audits will happen around the 1.0 release. Bug bounty seems like a good idea, but it's too early today to know when this will start.

> 3. Will Oven support Zig development to avoid an existential risk in upstream vulnerabilities?

Yes. Oven will donate to Zig Software Foundation.

More broadly - I think about all of this a lot, but until now Bun has been mostly the work of just me. Bun is still very early - there's a lot that's just not implemented yet.
i just learned from a cop that you don't even need a license to drive in LA! she said that cops don't want to put undue burden on people in a city where driving is almost mandatory for livelihood (though i don't currently own a car myself due to the hassles and cost). i kid you not.

> They are going to drive up the cost of real meat and other livestock

How will they do this, exactly?

Also, isn't the cost of real meat too low as it is? It hasn't priced in climate externalities that other people (including non-meat-eaters) have to pay for. Shouldn't meat include all of its costs, not just the ones paid by the farmers?

There's that famous video of people dancing, where a person in a gorilla suit enters and leaves the action, and at the end, people don't remember seeing the gorilla.

I think drivers are creatures of habit, especially in heavy traffic on a familiar route such as their daily work commute. They are not really in complete control of their cars -- certainly if traffic is heavy enough that nobody is following at a safe distance. Now throw distractions into the mix.

I'm also an experienced urban cyclist, and I believe that route choice is a major safety factor. I have some rules of thumb for roads to avoid, and am extremely lucky that I live in a town that is fairly cycle- and pedestrian-friendly. I have a hunch that car drivers in my town have gradually adapted to the presence of cyclists, for the better.

I do ride on 55 mph roads in the countryside, but only ones with very little traffic, and the region has quite friendly drivers. Stories from cyclists living in other states suggest to me that straightforward aggression is a factor in a lot of the close passes and other antics that they experience.
> ...each person is at each moment capable of remembering all that has ever happened to him and perceiving everything that is happening everywhere in the universe. The function of the brain and nervous system is to protect us from being overwhelmed and confused by this mass of largely useless and irrelevant knowledge, by shutting out most of what we should otherwise perceive or remember at any moment, and leaving only that very small and special selection which is likely to be practically useful.

My dad was a professor of finance in a midwestern college. He'd have students coming up to him saying "I didn't know there even was a case for free markets!"

> "Socialism" requires cooperation, and people do it just fine.

Both socialism and free markets require cooperation. The difference is that socialism requires forcible cooperation, and in free markets the cooperation is voluntary.
It's interesting to read this, because the points sure seem like they fit a general passing-generation vibe. "Snotty youth should fit the mold a little better and stop Hurting the Feelings of the Gen X People!"

The article on Gen Z & Millenial advice [1], which is written for...uh...well, it doesn't really say who it's written for, which is interesting--but the advice there is more like: "speaking of being circumspect, we are down here waving for your attention!"

There is an obvious difference in power and energy which is more like ignition material than discussion material in lots of ways. And groups don't generally communicate those kinds of points unless certain power/positioning conditions are perceived.

It makes me wonder if there are other methods for framing such discussions, so that slightly less passionate lines can be drawn on both sides? Identity is a fantastic career ingredient but identity-passion and identity-stuckness (thinking generationally, in which a pinning effect seems inescapable) are also only a couple of possible ingredients; there are tons of other ingredients on the shelf...

It is a fact that many companies from startups to corporations do not have the flexibility of working in open source.

There is nothing to disagree here.

You're shoving in GPL ideology where none was asked for. No one is asking to do free work for corporations; this is a flimsy straw man. You're welcome to do what you feel, I was stating the fact that FreeBSD has done the world a lot of good. That's hard to refute even in the worst of assumptions. And that's not saying anything about GPL. It has its place.
i agree that's part of it and massive problem, and its kinda scary most 20 year olds would have to go on aggressive TRT to get close to people 80 years ago. however getting clean from porn for even a month seems to really help most of them. sometimes longer but def makes a difference and usually with time it gets fixed.

i will say there's a theory that frequent masturbation lowers testosterone, telling your brain "yea i got a harem of chicks im good" so it doesn't need the aggression or drive. could just be broscience but an interesting area to explore.

but yeah both problems deserve attention. tbh i wouldn't be surprised if politicians, media, etc. ignore it on purpose because it's correlated with lower violence or whatever.
Um, the free market requires a government to enforce peoples' rights and to enforce contracts.

I used nginx for a very, very long time but abandoned it.

I switched to Caddy because I just got so sick of the constant pain of certificates. Caddy does certificates automatically.

I also was sick of the complexity of nginx configuration. I could get the things done that I needed to do but it was always painful and time consuming.

I've worked out how to do in Caddy everything that I did in nginx though that took alot of time and effort, but I tend to create quite sophisticated web server configs.

At this stage there's nothing really that nginx could offer that would bring me back from Caddy.
