Why would you say this? It is the opposite of the truth; the first-sale doctrine prevents the copyright owner from interfering with you while you rent out your cassettes.

You need to purchase rights to display the video in public. No one can stop you from renting out the tape. You already possess the right to rent out your own property.

One way to get something like chargeback is 2-of-3 multisig. The transaction has to be signed by any two of: sender, receiver, and a neutral arbitrator. If sender and receiver agree, the arbitrator never has to hear about the transaction.
No you’re not being consistent. Your argument is no reprocessing, breeder, or seawater farming technology is allowable in calculations about the sustainability of fission. But all kids of similar recycling, or new chemistries, or not yet proven technologies are allowable for calculating the sustainability of wind/solar/batteries.
I've just started to take that approach (exactly what I need, no more, no less) with personal process automation, and it's really working for me.

I made a few attempts in the past at building more general-purpose tools that would cover my use cases, but I've never followed through on them. Too much of the work was in the bits that don't actually benifit me right now.

My new tool is simply called "Other Jeff". I write onto it what I need right now. Do I have a series of pull requests that need babysitting to get them over the line? Other Jeff learns to poll their status and notify me of important events along the way. If I want to store some state about what I'm working on right now, I need a database of some kind, right? Nope. Not any more. I hard-code it into `db.rs`, because it turns out there's almost nothing I need to persist that's too burdensome to update by hand.

So what I have in the end is a single Rust program that grows and shrinks depending on my needs at the time, accumulates reusable helpers if and when they actually make sense for _me_, and slowly learns to automate more of my daily distractions.
Twitter Appears to Be Down
PSA: the best way to enable Microformat-like stuff with almost no effort is to keep describing content with reasonable class names even if you never pay any special attention to the microformats.org standards.

One unfortunate side effect of things like Tailwind CSS is that some folks with a single-minded focus on looks are now using only the Tailwind class names, but you can do both. If before you'd have written something like class="video-thumbnail" and styled the content with a class selector in your CSS, but now you've adopted Tailwind and have excised all the descriptive class name from the content (rather than just rming your stylesheet and adding Tailwind classes to whatever class names are already there), then please put the descriptive class names back in! And if you have colleagues submitting patches that remove class names because you're migrating to Tailwind, tell them to use Tailwind classes in a way that adds to the classification instead of as a replacement for traditional, descriptive class names.

(A similar thing happens with CSS compilers. The autogenerated stuff served up on podcasts.google.com is nasty, for example.)

I suppose you are being downvoted because people disagree with this sentiment. You quoted the thesis of the article, which seems worthwhile for those who hope to meter their attention.
That's not empirical study, it's statistical analysis of historical data. Which is useful, certainly, but it shouldn't be treated as the same level of certainty as empirical study and it shouldn't be confused for it. The article makes the distinction between the two very, very clear.

Economics loves to play fast and loose with the definition of "empirical" tests, but almost none of the main theories of economics are empirically testable—because we simply cannot create new, controlled economies and run preregistered experiments against them. Instead, we have to make do with the data we have, and we can't generate more, and we have to deal with the amount of uncertainty that the analysis of existing data brings with it.

Switching DNS is not harder than switching registrars, and keeping them in the same place is reasonable if that provider offers good service for both or you want to avoid the additional complexity of an additional vendor.

I thought your original comment made it sound like there was some obvious reason for keeping DNS and registrars separate.

I don't know, I think maybe the merging of iteration and concurrency is an interesting idea.
For sure it automates some work. For example, my sometime hobby of making silly photoshops looks like it will now be a whole lot easier... Visual memes can just be a sentence now. For more serious work I wonder... But it does give pause about what it means for other forms of work.
If the shoe fits... "Judaism, Christianity, or Islam" ...all of the above didn't follow the ten commandments. The problem isn't in the list of rules. The ten commandments are very well formed and cover the greatest injustices that plague you, I and our interactions with fellow people. The problem is in the fallible people trying to keep the ten commandments.

So when we fail to keep a commandment of God do we pretend to be like God and change the rule or do we repentantly seek God's forgiveness for breaking the rule? Ultimately, the answer proves an individual's rescue or downfall.
I'm investing in backyard meat production, rabbit hutches, chicken coop, greenhouse for growing fodder, etc. I'll swap securities for this. For a fraction of my savings and a bunch of actual work we can make most of our calories independent of exchange rates and supply chains. And if the economy stays afloat that's a few hundred dollars of lower grocery bills per month to put back into securities.

It certainly does feel that The Rest of the World currently must choose between one empire's surveillance machine or another's. You point out that many of TikTok's employees come from Chinese state media, but many higher-ups in Silicon Valley similarly come from CIA or defense. The big platforms are an unofficial extension of government to exert power and control.

Government involvement aside, banning targeted advertising could be a start. Twitter and Facebook and others are centralized shit shows primarily because that maximizes their advertising revenue.
concurrency is a bit overused term, in the early stage it was referring to parallelism too, anyways yes I know the difference between pthread vs coroutines.

the problem of coroutine with me is how to use it on multiple core systems, my current thought is to have a pthread-pool in the # of cores, each thread can run multiple coroutines, as again, coroutine seems not an ideal fit to leverage multiple cores. The pthread-pool + coroutine approach is a combination with simpler code and multicore usage to me.

The elephant in the room: The ECB creating > 2 trillion euros out of thin air for COVID response (As did the BoE, the Fed etc), whilst simultaneously suspending half their economies so that productive output dropped significantly.

It has been known for centuries that large increases in the stock of money result in broad price increases, and there is a mountain of historical evidence to support this notion. It is largely ignored by modern "economists" (particularly the modern monetary theorists, who hold the idea that we can just keep creating money at no cost).

Energy price increases are not just unique to Europe, but they are occurring globally for the same reasons. This trend began well before the Russian invasion, but clearly after the 2020 response to COVID.

From most-impactful to least-impactful on the price of energy (and everything else), you have 1: Reckless monetary policy. 2: Reckless green agenda. 3. RUS/UKR conflict.

#3 certainly provides a convenient excuse for those in power though, who are directly responsible for #1 and #2.
difference between concurrency and parallelism in present lingo is what?

we didn't distinguish in the early days (early 1990s) of working on parallelizing compilers and proliferating shared memory multiproceesors, as i recall, and first heard someone say they meant different things about 12 years ago, so a person roughly 15 years younger than me.
I just don't think you're living in reality emotionally/mentally. I'm not saying you need to let advertisers tracking everything you do but to pretend that mobile phone advertising/web based advertising should cease to exist for everybody is a little extreme.

Absolutely. But who's going to sell it to the masses? Most people don't care, as they haven't been told to - no one has sold it to them.

And who is going to explain about the erosion of privacy? Would that be Google, the government? Why, when both are beneficiaries of the existing system (ie making money for google, increasing control and monitoring for govts)? This is a market that is studiously ignored as it is in no one's interests!

Do you remember when Google piled into rss only to try its best to then kill it? When data is your business, it makes no sense to cut yourself out of the intermediation.
> That's just from modulo math. A fifth is 7 semitones, which is relatively prime to 12. Thus 7x (mod 12) hits all the elements of the modulo 12 congruence for x in 0..11. We cover all notes in the first twelve steps.

> But say we are not assuming a twelve note system in the first place; how do we get twelve notes?

My diagram showed an (approximate) 12 note cycle assuming only a 3:2 ratio for a fifth. There are lots of good reasons to use a fifth as the basic interval[1]. In no way does this assume a 12-note system.

The 12 notes don't come from "filling in" between the 7 notes of the diatonic major scale, they come from continuing the pattern until a near-cycle happens; is your argument that the 1.2% error in the cycle is arbitrary? it's less than 1/4 the next largest difference and slightly more than the rule of thumb for how much "anybody" can hear. The next time we get closer to a cycle is at 41, and we don't get closer by an order of magnitude until 53.

1: And in fact the fifth is used as a basis for many other scales both western and otherwise (Note that the first 5 notes are the major Pentatonic scale and the first 7 are the major diatonic scale).

No, because generally very few/no people want to install a totally untested OS onto their phone. But the work needed by phone makers to update to a new Android is drastically reduced, so they can reduce the latency by a lot.

I always find it interesting how people refer to this scenario. You said they migrated, which is true, in a sense. Lot of argument about this subject but I am less interested in the argument than the why of the argument.

On the one hand you have those bending over backwards to debunk the "myth" of Irish "slavery" (simple example [0]) by making sure everyone knows it was just indentured servitude where they were beat and killed with impunity and had no freedoms other than the potential to disguise themselves as free men due to their skin color, and if you call them slaves you're perpetuating white supremacist conspiracy theories.

On the other hand you have historical accounts of the Irish being treated identically to slaves [1].

Why? Why are some people so determined to twist history such that only one victim group is allowed? Not saying you're doing this; I am only using your choice of phrasing to bring this up in one of the few places where I might get an honest answer.

> You're the one claiming "totalitarian". But when someone brings in real totalitarian, you say "hey, that's too extreme".

I was referring to the comparison itself to be extreme. There's a difference.

Can you define your view on what totalitarianism means? And please don't use countries as examples. I think there's a disconnect here and people are arguing semantics and language accuracy while missing the original point, which still stands.
It's down for me, too. Actually, not completely down, I get this error code as a result of all their XHR calls:

> {code: 353, message: "This request requires a matching csrf cookie and header."}
So that's 3 nodes total, one permanently master and the other two permanently read-only slaves? Is there any kind of "automatic rollover" if the master goes down where one of the slaves automatically promotes itself?
These image-from-prompt generators are themselves just a particular type of generative art.

I think it's obvious that the output of these AIs can be considered art. There is human input at multiple levels - the code, the artists whose works it was trained on, the researchers that scraped/pruned the training set, and ultimately the crafting of prompts by users to achieve a desired output.

What is not obvious is: among those human inputs, which are actually responsible for imparting artistic value on the resultant image, and in what proportion.
There is no perfect answer, because you can't know in advance exactly how this will all play out.

If you could know for certain that inflation would remain very high for an extended period, you could buy a mixed bag of commodities. Inflation is a generalized increase in prices, and if inflation continues long enough, it would eventually become extremely broad-based, meaning that the cost of ~every useful thing would increase. Commodities are fungible useful things. Gold and silver are popular (personally, I like silver better for reasons that I won't get in to here), but you can also buy even more "useful" commodities -- copper, for example. Or energy in all sorts of forms[1], or certain kinds of foodstuffs Depending on how much financial destruction you think there will be, you can buy physical stuff and hang on to it, or, if you think the systems will mostly survive intact, you could buy long-dated futures contracts for these products.

Make sure you fully understand the contracts you are buying before you actually buy them.

Futures are complex financial instruments, and you can easily lose more than all of your money if you fail to understand what you are buying and make poor choices. (Read up on what happened during the time in 2020 when oil had a negative price. Lots of neophyte investors got really hurt)

I do not specifically advise buying commodities. I don't personally play in the futures market. But, if you wanted to explicitly invest against inflation, that's an approach you can take. Keep in mind, of course, that while stocks are fractional interests in companies, and companies are productive assets -- they make more stuff/value/money over time -- whereas commodities are not productive assets. Over time, your commodity costs money to store, and the amount of stuff doesn't grow. That means that by tying your capital up in physical commodities, you are foregoing the opportunity to own a production stream. If inflation exceeds economic growth, that is likely to be a good bet. If economic growth exceeds inflation, it is likely not to be.

--

[1] Keep in mind that some commodities have shelf lives. Some energy commodities have really, really short shelf-lives. Obviously, food commodities have shelf-lives as well.
How do you compare this with wires everywhere? That requires both significant mining and then local people to dig and vehicles etc. I think these comparisons are context free and unfair in that sense.
I think the convertibles are a bit of a trap, though - even though the rules are transparent. You might overprovision to begin with (which you may not realise), then you can't even sell them.

It'll be an interesting line to be sure.

Right now the tech still requires some nuance to be able to slap it all together into what I think most people would want.

While i expect the interface and the like to get a lot better, all good tutorials of this tech so far show many iterations over many different parts of an image to get something "cohesive". Blending those little mini iterations together is VASTLY easier than just making the whole thing, but not just plug and play for something professional.

Still there will be a huge dent in how long it takes to make certain styles of work and that will lower demand considerably, and there's a large market of artists who thrive on casual commissions which this might replace.
I recall Cursor Mania which was a similar idea. It bundled Smiley Central which was a necessity to out-smiley your contacts on MSN messenger. It also prefigured emojis. And it almost certainly came with a generous helping of malware.

2. they take the $10k out of their account immediately

3. I call my bank and ask them to reverse the transaction (aka the funds are no longer there to yank back)

Of course they still take personal checks. How else would elderly granny that does not trust "plastic" pay? Some would do it with cash, but many have paid with checks their whole lives, and will not stop until they drop dead.

And it certainly used to be common for e-commerce sites to accept "electronic checks" by having you type in the routing and account numbers, with no additional verification. These days, there usually is additional verification.

It is still commonly accepted with no verification for payment for things like utility bills. This appears to be on the assumption that if there is check fraud they probably know the guilty party, because who else would be trying to pay your power bill?

Growing up in the 70-80s, American TV/movies seem pretty censored today. Adult and under-18 T&A, light sexual content were the norm. Of course, the children are safe now and I guess it must be an accurate reflection of that age group if inceldom is the new norm.

I think it will encourage novel ideas in all forms of art. In other words, genuinely new styles and expression will be scarce, because there wasn't thousands of forms of it to train a model on yet.

We will also adjust to AI generated art like have other creative technologies and the novelty will wear off. We will become good at identifying AI generated art and think of it as cheap.

Still, extremely exciting.
I hear you that as users we appreciate more stable UI, but to get to an intuitive UI, you have to experiment and iterate.

But there is no rule that says you have to do those experiments in production and annoy your paying customers who don't want to see them. If you didn't insist on releasing every five minutes you'd have time to iterate privately. Successful software was made this way for decades before modern web applications came along and frankly a lot of it had better UI/UX than a lot of the junk that gets pushed out today.

While there is value in discrete and planned releases, we value responding to change more.

I suppose the question is what change you're responding to. In this situation it seems like a lot of that change and the need to respond to it are self-inflicted damage.
