I don't know. I mean, it's been really fashionable to say stuff like this for at least a couple of decades, but in the real world I see things playing out in pretty much the complete opposite. Guys are still "yey, boobies!" no matter the shape and size, most of my male friends would like more serious and traditional relationships, and the only type of women that get rejected are grossly overweight.

The only thing porn is desensitizing us to is... milder kinds of porn, really. Relationships get to live in a completely different mental box. I mean, think about the world around you - do you know of any real life people that got split up because they had regular problem free sex... but it wasn't kinky enough? If anything, I've only ever heard women complain about bland sex. Men are still happy to have it, check that box and judge the relationship satisfaction on the rest of the metrics.
I think you are mixing up two things here -- market dominance and free speech.
None of these companies were regulated in any way with regards to the 1st amendment.

These companies were regulated because of market dominance. It isn't efficient to have 2 electric or 2 telegraph or 2 phone companies when they were established -- so government set a reasonable profit margin and then drew up rules by which the companies had to abide to stay in their position.
(I'm guessing bus/plane was more about not crowding others out, as they don't have the sunk costs or moat that the other companies acquire by their nature.)
So what you're saying is that an idiot can become the richest man in the world without being born into it?

How often has that happened in the entire history?

All large-scale public machine learning stuff is depending on being exempt from copyright restrictions, under fair use doctrine. Look at my responses to all of the threads about Copilot + GPL for more info about that application of it: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=chrismorgan+copilot+gpl&type=c....

When that is finally tried in court, if it fails to any meaningful extent at all (including going all the way up to Supreme Courts as it doubtless will), then Copilot is dead, DALL·E is dead, GPT-3 is dead, all of these things will be immediately discontinued in at least the affected jurisdictions, at least until such a time as they get the laws changed or judgements overturned.

I would be very surprised if OpenAI paid anything for these, because it would set precedent that copyright infringement was applicable, which would be fatal down the road. (The only argument they could possibly mount in their defence would be that they wanted to train on the original images without watermarks.)

A key handle seems to be the real private key encrypted with a static key from the hardware key.

You can achieve that yourself, for example, using Pass. Encrypt theoretically unlimited number of password and secret keys with the master password in the hardware token.
Puredata is cool. In reality it's a real time scheduler where the time for everything to be due is "now". Which works well. msp developed it for computers in the 1980s where resources were seriously constrained, so these days on bigger computers / handhelds you get a lot of computational bang for your buck.

You’re probably right but much of that is the consequence of having the baggage of using JS and the legacy of popular libraries that will get mashed through typescript with heavy influence on its spec.

TS (probably) didnt have the luxury of thinking it out the necessary constraints and foundations for a top tier type system. Of course there were some bad choices like the XOR Union stuff mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but all of those make sense when you consider the type of code typically written in JS (before TS).

Typescript was probably never going to become popular if it tried to reach that ideal. But it provides way more safety bumpers for junior devs than JS previously had so regardless it’s a major step forward than whatever custom creation we used to hand each dev.
I have a hard time making the parent comment even making logical sense.

So the reason we are not seeing say open CUDA drivers from NVIDIA for Linux is that they instead distribute closed ones for permissively licensed operating systems such as FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Illumos, MINIX, Plan9, etc.? Which (apart from all lacking CUDA drivers) all universally have less support from hardware manufacturers both when it comes to open and closed drivers across the board? ERRNOLOGIC.

You are aware that FreeBSD got closed NVIDIA graphics driver support about a decade after Linux? It is also the only operating system with a permissive license that I am aware of NVIDIA ever supporting.

Alternatively, are you trying to refer to that some game consoles used FreeBSD as a basis and had proprietary NVIDIA drivers written for them? You are aware that there is nothing stopping them from doing exactly the same thing with Linux?

You are free to believe in “licensing magic” being a solution as much as you want, but I think that you will find that it all has much more to do with what NVIDIA is ultimately all about: Shipping as many cards as is humanly possible while maintaining a borderline monopoly maximising profits.
I am fairly confident that Zig does not lack memory safety by design; from what I understand, the language as a whole isn't even finished, and the memory safety design isn't like a GC'd language or like Rust, so people assume there isn't memory safety when in reality it is at least partially implemented.
As far as I understand it, anything a user installs with pkg that isn't included with the base system is installed into /usr/local.

For me, this is a nice benefit because I can know that anything installed into /usr/local can be removed and won't break the basic system's functionality. This organizational structure I think is also just very sensible imo.

Note: I'm mostly a Linux user but I play around with FreeBSD a lot. I wish that by default my Arch machine organized things similarly, but ultimately it's minor enough for me that I haven't switched

Search engines don't create market harm for a work because they don't compete with it. In fact, they do the opposite: they advertise the work, making it more accessible and increasing exposure.

These AI tools on the other hand seem to do the exact opposite. They can (or could, if they got good enough) absolutely compete with a work, and therefore seem like they create substantial market harm. The character of use also seems vastly different; AI tools are creating images explicitly to be consumed, vs a search engine is basically just an index, and only shows the image in so far as it needs to make it discoverable.

So three of the four tests for fair use seem clearly against AI image generation, at least to me. The only test that possibly goes in favor of AI is the amount or substantiality of copying, but AIs can easily reproduce images, or if not entire images, other substantial subsets of a composition.

I just don't get how these could possibly be fair use.
This is a non-sequitur. Ethical concerns are orthogonal to the difficulty of the undertaking.
I've been working on lots of little tools for years, sure. They are all extensions of theories or long term projects though, so they are like theory-practice glue scripts in many cases.

A basic first step here with projects (tool or no) IMO is to keep a log.

Over time you add different logs for different projects. It's important to have lots to choose from. One of the best ways I've seen people crash and burn their long term projects is to make sure there are only like three of them. Especially if they are passion projects.

Then I have a system that kind of shuffles the various log topics and I pick some that I feel like working on, usually at least 2-3 a day.

So there are things like stories, TTRPGs, lists (this is a great place to start IMO, maintaining a list over time can teach a lot and is very forgiving), bigger hobby projects, and so on.

IMO #2 one of the most helpful things you can write in a log is "this project isn't going anywhere and I don't know what to do about it."

Just some thoughts, good luck.
They earn above the tech average wage, or they earn above average wage in the country? If they work in tech, but earn below the average tech wage, then they’d actually be bringing the average wage down when you consider the opportunity cost.
Hedge-Fund Pioneer Julian Robertson Jr. Dies at 90
As someone who has wanted to desperately build on "goldilocks" land for a long time, the thing that has held me up is not zoning but the uniform building code. I simply only have enough money to build a shack. There are plenty of these out in the West, but at some point someone said "nah fuck them kids" and decided great-grandaddies shack is fine for somebodies grandkid to live in but if I build new property of literally the same thing I've committed a cardinal sin of safety. This means even though a shack would still be cheap to build, their supply is artificially limited (indeed irreplaceable) to the point a shack is practically as expensive to buy "used" as a fully up to code newer construction. And thus again I am cast aside, doomed to rent some overbuilt up-to-code construction.
The problem is that you can find common sense arguments both ways. It's just civilization inadequacy that we aren't capable to work on finding objective arguments here, because it doesn't seem like a particularly difficult problem. But yet again, politics is the mind killer.

Streamie (streamieapp.com), which started its life as CameraMan (macOS only), was my DIY solution for getting my security cameras on my desktop computer. Later, when tvOS (Apple TV) finally added VideoToolbox support, I had a much better platform to target for such things.

I started dabbling with this project in 2014. It’s a full time endeavor these days. I become _very_ uncomfortable when I think about how I’d react if I lost all copies of the source code. I don’t think I’d try to start over.
Not sure about practical applications, its an advancement in basic science since its never been made before (and its hard to make) and there were interesting theoretical predictions made regarding the bonding configuration that were verified with measurements upon the successful synthesis.

> Congress should force big tech monopolies to reflect [...]

1st Amendment: Congress SHALL MAKE NO LAW [...]

Curious, isn't it?

I'm not sure why you think that Congress, which is likely near the MOST PARTISAN it's ever been, will responsibly and reasonably use this "force" to ensure viewpoint neutrality, instead of say, amplifying the voices that support their position.

Also, part of the 1st Amendment is allowing people to associate (or not) with each other. As long as you aren't discriminating for an illegal purpose, you can make whatever rules you want. If you don't like the "big tech" rules, don't participate. But if you break their rules, they can kick you out.

The first amendment means that the GOVERNMENT can't silence jerks, but is ALSO means that people who don't want to hear jerks don't have to listen.
I've heard that before. The only things that get funded are whatever is currently politically popular.

Which is clearly political in their decisions. Consider Roe v Wade. Either its enactment, or its overturning, is political. Can't both be apolitical.

Yes, but pedestrian fatalities are relatively uncommon compared to other insurance losses, and in the US the insurance companies liability is typically capped at a fairly low level.

Long story short is that insurance companies price everything in — that’s how insurance works - rates are based upon actual losses and payouts.
Mandatory minimum insurance limits sure haven't. They've gone up in some states but are still woefully low.
Not all mass spec use an electron beam (in fact I think most do not), one of the most common for analyzing organic molecules uses electro-spray ionization (ESI) and it is relatively gently but I assume you are generally correct in that they couldn't get the whole molecule to fly, it either didn't ionize or fragmented.
Still room for discouragement.

Reasons cloud computing doesn’t save money
When I was a masters student in the NYU Music Technology program, I Izard PD for a couple projects I'm really proud of.

The first was an acoustic-electronic room reverb stimulator. We set up multiple mic+speaker pairs in a room and used PD to allow the user to set a delay on each mic input before reproducing the sound out of the matched speaker, to simulate sound propagation in a larger room. The signal was also filtered with a selectable frequency response that could be set to match a list of different materials. The result was real time simulated reverberation on physical space. This was really easy to patch together in PD, rather than using a general purpose programming language.

The second project was the Mmm-What-You-Say-O-Tron, a phase vocoder inspired by the instrument Imogen Heap uses to perform her song Hide and Seek. This was a much more sophisticated patch, which used PD's MIDI capabilities, pitch extraction, and a custom pitch-shift algorithm. It was less successful, but still really fun.

I think more so, the project kinda just dies, like it's over... built it. So I'm hoping one day I find some that will be "life long" where I can pour time into them and hopefully it's worth it.

Epic is working on verse script now. Even they realized visual scripting is not the best way to do development. It's very limiting. I was much happier with UE when it had unrealscript. I still do game development on the old engines, but I don't like doing anything with the new engines that force you into c++ or blueprints. Code is simply more expressive than flow charts.
I always wondered what kind of crazy city only had one building.
IME it's precisely the expressivity of nested types and generics and variations thereof that makes it hard for the library author.

The expressivity makes it possible for library authors have IntelliSense give more useful suggestions to the consumer, make automatic inference work in more places for the consumer, and make more illegal usage be impossible, at the expense of complicated type constructs. But of course all these is somewhat optional.
I wouldn't even call it veiled.

60 km/h car will kill you either way, 1 km/h car won't kill you either way, but somewhere in between there's a velocity range where a SUV will kill you and a compact car won't - simply because of the mass difference. I'd argue it's the velocity range in which a lot of collisions happen (especially in city traffic).

Honestly, AWS and Microsoft both seem pretty safe right now. This is pretty unique to Google. I keep warning people never to use Google for B2B, and I keep seeing people get burned.

Decentralization means there's a fire ever month, as some startup goes under or pivots. AWS, Azure, and Office 365 seem to take business continuity seriously.
It's not like there's a shortage of existing raw material.

I think as models advance and develop more multi-modal networks and doing inferences, developing an understanding of anatomy etc., there aren't really any limits to what will be imaginable.
I’m unconvinced. Just superficially, when trying to lock a mutex, WouldBlock isn’t a “mistake” at all. It’s simply the outcome of the operation.

More generally, this post suggests that nuance is important, but nuance can be a lot more complex than this success/mistake/failure tristate. For example, consider an operation to INSERT into a database table with a unique constraint. A constraint violation might be a severe error indicating corruption in one context, but it might be a perfectly valid result indicating that an alternative path is needed in another context. An attempt to open a file that does not exist could be a serious error or just fine, but it’s not usually a situation where retrying makes sense.

There are certainly outcomes that are unambiguously hard errors: if the library itself is corrupted, it’s functions can fail hard. Or if the caller violated a precondition, a hard error is warranted. But interacting with anything external is fundamentally messy, and expressing the outcomes is hard.
That's a cool project. I looked at your pricing page.

I was expecting Tauri to be lightweight, but it appears to have 1200+ dependencies [1]. Does this mean that if you want to publish an app based on Tauri, you'll need to put those 1200+ copyright notices somewhere in your app?

Compared to Electron, this probably is actually an improvement, but I was kind of expecting Tauri to be a thin layer, ideally with an easy-to-add copyright notice (instead of "it is your responsibility to verify that you are complying with all upstream licenses" [1]).

In that case it seems like a very good idea to track your interests.

As an example, I started a list of my interests and it just passed 1K this year. It is extremely helpful in showing me what my more stable, longer-term interests are. That is, generally the level of energy I can devote to the interest is high. Projects are more likely to move forward.

In these cases I know I'm going to be more likely to come back to or continue a project. But with more transient interests, that can be a really dumb idea. By definition the same energy with which you started the project is now gone. This is almost certain to be difficult, if not depressing work.

Over time one can begin to track interests and access to project energy like it's a kind of horoscope, in some ways. It's pretty fascinating.
Spooky how accurate that picture is. Hunched posture, professor frink-like grimace, spiral bloodshot eyes. I see myself!
They are roughly in competition, though Deno made the decision early on to largely split itself from the ecosystem and existing conventions of Node (and an enormous body of existing JavaScript packages on npm), whereas Bun did not.

In a work setting not everyone is paid the same and not everyone provides the same value. In open source, people aren't paid, which isn't equivalent to being paid "equally". Some do more than others.

I feel like in a work setting, the equivalent would be saying it is not collaborative because senior employees are more productive than the interns.
