This is one case where judge-made law has really impacted how business models are formed. Until 2017, the 'exhaustion doctrine' had Quanta Computers v. LG as its main precedent. Exhaustion is the point at which you have sold your patented stuff, and the consumer is using it as intended, so even though you maintain your patent on e.g. 'making/using ink cartridges', as soon as you sell them, the consumer can do what they want with them.

Quanta left some unfortunate uncertainty: once a seller had created a product that "embodies the essential features of the patents", and sold it, exhaustion kicked in. However, the printer/ink industry still argued that part of the inventive process was the customer (who fully owned the cartridges and printer) putting ink in cartridges and cartridges in printers. This was not meant as much to sue consumers but to bully ink resellers.

This all came to a head in the Supreme Court case Lexmark (linked below), on this exact question. In effect, the Supreme Court said "Once you sell the printer and ink, you're exhausted", under the argument that allowing Lexmark to sue ink resellers for patent infringement would clog commerce. They used probably the simplest argument in 'exhaustion' doctrine, the "first sale doctrine", which says that, once you sell your product, all IP around that product is exhausted with respect to that product.

This can get very confusing, because exhaustion is NOT about the actual methods of making ink, but about when a specific product--the ink cartridge you found in your grandfather's basement--is totally outside of the manufacturers control. Thank god, the Supreme Court has made it a lot harder to claim IP infringement in 'downstream' commerce, and I bet that the printer industry is currently changing its "free printer but ink costs its weight in platinum" model.

Not sure if there are other aspects of the business that make printer sellers inherently skeevy (the stories here tell me that it is part sleazy salesmanship, part lawyer-bullying), but this is definitely an industry that shaped its business model around using IP to threaten resellers so they could keep the margins on ink sky high.

Yeah, but some EE countries managed to regain their freedom.
I knew the policy about meta discussion, but on a thread that itself was meta, talking about the thing using the thing, I figured I'd lay out one comment about commenting. I discovered, on closer inspection, that the guidelines also ask one not leave comments about the why of flagging a story. I rarely flag stories and have been guilty once of doing just that.
> He was not completely opposing it, he just demanded to follow the law - you make your case in front of the UN and get it sanctioned.

Which, given how he didn't do that before invading Ukraine, was just him spewing bullshit. Why are you repeating his bullshit as if it somehow excuses his actions?

> Making Russia great again is also perfectly fine if it means to rebuild the economy, improve living standards, and similar things.

Did you really miss the initial capitals in MAG-- eh, MARA? It has about as much to do with rebuilding the economy, improving living standards, and similar things as MAGA had to do with rebuilding the economy and improving living standards in America.

> I only know that Putin often said ...

If even you realise that all you know is his own spin, then what makes you think you have anything worthwhile to contribute to the discussion?
honestly i feel the opposite. one of the worst situations to run into as a designer is a client who is simply too married to a bad design. i would much rather work with something you scribbled on the back of a napkin than than some highly rendered ai vomit that is just fundamentally shit.
If you reduce the question to the narrow field of your own professional life, then of course you can make any claim whatsoever. Furthermore, I disagree strongly with your principles. We need to help people who are already losing economically, not the opposite. Doing otherwise leads to a broken society in which I have no desire to live in, even if I could personally earn 2x or 3x more there. I'm very glad the guy who picks up my trash has a union and leads a decent life, with access to education, healthcare and reasonable working hours.
Police are also a reason the left need a strong gun culture (I mean we are talking about the same groups of people, police and right wing extremists, terrorist groups, white supremacist gangs etc). BP didn’t go far enough and were hamstrung by lack of support from the left due to racial division within working class and those in poverty
I think one easy thing they could do, is stop hosting for forums dedicated to doxxing and harassing people, preferably before they inevitably bully their victims into suicide.
I don’t understand how this can be true and yet our legal system looks the way that it does now. And It used to be even more unfair.. Maybe it’s true for scholars but not elected officials?
My favorite set of human rights is the UN one: https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-huma...

The two rights at play would be:

> Article 19: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers

> Article 12: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks

> Article 1: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

In my opinion, it's a relatively clear case, though I reckon sometimes there might be a grey area.

Article 19 says you're free to express your opinions and ideas to others through any media. So you should be able to do so on the internet as well.

Article 12 says that no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation.

To me, this means your thoughts and ideas you express cannot arbitrarily interfere with others privacy, home, correspondence, or attack their honor or reputation without due cause.

This means that doxxing is not acceptable, hacking and revealing private information you obtained without consent isn't acceptable unless you have due cause (whistleblowing for matters of laws being broken). Harassment is not acceptable either, because it's interference with ones right.

You'd need a court to establish what right you broke, and this is probably what we're lacking today, since a large percentage of the voting population doesn't actually value all human rights equally, I think the courts have been hesitant to enforce them, and so the right to privacy isn't particularly respected, but the right to express opinions or private information and harassment is strongly defended. Since the courts are failing, people are having to take the case to the public spheres.

Finally, Article 1 says that everyone is endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. I included this one because it too clearly rejects harassment and hate. It clearly mandates that people must act in spirit of brotherhood with everyone else. Obviously all behavior that go against that is not supported by the human rights.
The West's outwards aggression and effective embargo are gone, sure. That definitely helps.

However, the material conditions aren't necessarily better. It used to be that everyone was guaranteed a home, a job, healthcare, education, etc. Homelessness is now a problem in most capitals, many struggle to find a job at all, healthcare has generally been defunded and privatised, etc.

So many of us left because we clearly had no opportunities in our own countries after 89, especially after so much industry was sold off for scrap.
That wasn't always the case, and there are still a few good sub-reddits to prove this.

In the case of Reddit, it was purposefully trashed by its new owners who decided that anything less than a east-coast-lib groupthink would prevent growth, or something - or maybe they are just incompetent. Feels a similar story with Stack-Overflow.
For the record, my significant other is an artist and my entire life has been surrounded by creative people. I’m questioning human creativity, say, 50 years from now, and how much machine creativity we currently underestimate. Sure these artworks lack imagination and fidelity today. Appreciating art and humanities has nothing to do with projecting AI capabilities in the future, I’m flabbergasted how many people are so quick to confuse or conflate the two. Maybe we should require people to study logic/reasoning and how important it is.

Let me just say -- and I'll get voted down for this -- that I think breaching paywalls is generally immoral. While I can imagine some moral reasons, I think most people are doing it even though they can pay. They are taking someone's work and using it without permission while refusing to pay.

Of course I may be biased because I make some of my living creating content behind paywalls. If free access and ad support were possible, I would choose them first. But they aren't. To me, this extension and the people who support it aren't any different from those who go into restaurants, order food, eat it and then leave without paying. And there will be those who trot out some extreme rhetoric about world hunger or something to justify their actions.

Google is blocking this extension because it's bad for the web as a whole. Don't empower people who destroy the information sources and turn the web into a fact desert. Support those who create knowledge and share it fairly and equally, albeit at a price.

The NYT is… not great in its European coverage. Often pushing a narrative along the lines of “look how much it sucks compared to here”. I don’t follow CNN or Fox News, and definitely not the White House’s press releases.

If you want decent coverage in English, the BBC and the Guardian are better, though not without blind spots.
It does have a "if we can't belligerently shout 'we're #1', what's even the point of living?" to it, doesn't it?
I'm struggling with the connection you're making between Linux and Stable Diffusion.

Linus didn't invent the core concepts of Unix. He copied the (arguably) good parts from an (arguably) closed ecosystem. His big innovation was leveraging the internet to create a new kind of community not really seen before it. The Linux bazaar gave smart developers excluded from the Bell Labs / BSD cathedral a place to be productive in that style on their own terms and others used it to disrupt the OS business. A lot of shit gets into Linux that the community turns into useful things.

I look at the inputs/outputs of Stable Diffusion and am reminded of the fractal craze of the 80's which revealed the underlying simplicity of incredibly complex looking things. Lots of interesting art and technology came out of that but I don't think anything like the Linux community did.
The good news is that .net7 aot supports console apps so lamdas can already be native aot. Json serialization was a concern of mine, but it was surprising easy to get working with very minor changes in the call. If I were building lambdas would move it asap.

I could use some help with that
A technology which leaves the door open for exploitation will certainly be exploited by someone. In a self-governing society, people would turn their backs on the most exploitable technology; in the actual world, I just don't see that happening.
Nowadays Go is working on a PGO solution, so there is that.

I don't disagree but kinda doubt that new upstart languages with single digit market and mindshare in enterprise space would force .net /JVM behemoth to do anything. Forget Go, places I work would not know a single new thing beyond Java 1.7 or latest Java 1.8. But they have stood up a dozen cloud teams doing every buzzword you can hear about cloud.

So unless finance guys ask tough questions about rising Amazon billing IT wouldn't care if their SpringBoot crapola take 2GB of RAM or 32GB.

I'm going through another round of google reviewing my extension right now and it does suck, but I can't imagine deciding that getting people to enable developer mode, manually download and load my extension (every time there's an update, too) is the more likely path to adoption.
I don't try to keep up with absolutely everything. I've been to this particular buffet for a really long time and have developed tastes for certain things.

For instance, I recognize AOT is elegant in theory, but I also notice it's a difficult thing to get right and has certain tradeoffs. Especially, for a complex application that may need to use legacy APIs. As a consequence, I have mostly avoided this in favor of focusing on other areas that do seem to deliver additional value for our product (and my side-projects). Examples of these being intrinsics (SIMD), UTF8 text/serializer, file I/O and more advanced GC techniques.

Ultimately, it's a matter of experience to know when you should and should not chase a particular rabbit. My general policy right now is to observe the new shiny while it's in the odd-version, and then wait to see how it shakes down by the time the LTS comes around. You almost never want to try to grab a Microsoft-branded rabbit upon the very first sighting.
Cloudflare is doing an admirable and thoughtful job of trying to ethically navigate its anticompetitive monopoly control of internet access.

It is, however, a design flaw that a publicly traded corporation run by some dude (a cool dude) is in the situation of determining who can and cannot communicate on the Internet.
Probably catering to his audience. His books are much more even, and when he's gone on podcasts he points out how he'd like to be wrong about what he sees. That particular laugh also came off as rather forced.

Simple fact is though that America is the big winner in a European energy crisis. We get to sell Europe all the excess energy we can pump out while simultaneously gaining all the European industry that can leave/requires cheap energy.
Wouldn't chromosomal genetic variation have some effect?

Which is why xy/male mammals and zw /female birds have greater tendency toward genetic variety? Probably not a huge effect overall though.

I would think that real world experiments with babies have shown that babies dressed as baby boys get far less social interaction from strangers which negatively effects early vocabulary and verbal/social engagement/experience/training.

Which is tragic, under socialing boys and then mocking them for lack of social skills when they get older.
I'm a fan of what I call the 80% solution. Often fully automating is fragile, as the article pointed out. Instead automate the 80% that's safe to do, with a human in the mix to ensure it doesn't do the wrong thing. This can sometimes be as simple as a Go button or a multi-stage approval with a human in the mix.

It's not a perfect solution, but can often create a safer, more effective, overall system.
> Which, to be clear, the interests of the Texas Republican legislators have absolutely nothing to do with the working class refinery jobs and everything to do with the billionaires who own them.

An individual's interests are multifaceted, and align or deviate along different dimensions. Workers have conflicting interests with their employers at a workplace level (e.g. over safety regulations) but convergent interests with their employers at an industry level.

Politics is downstream of economic interests. Democratic rhetoric was positive about midwestern factory workers even as economic dynamics recentered the party around tech and knowledge workers who benefit from globalization. The negative impacts of that hit not only those factory workers (who have been rebranded as "deplorables" as a result of that new economic calculus) but also the local business owners who used to own those factories that are now in China.

> Move a little west and you'll find that central Texas is also a powerhouse for solar and wind, and there are plenty of racially diverse folks building and installing wind turbines in Texas.

Installing Chinese-made solar panels and wind turbines is a huge downgrade from drilling, refining, and exporting American oil. It creates fewer jobs and those jobs are lower on the value chain.

If China buys from Russia at discounted prices because the demand for russian oil has fallen, and then resells at a higher price to Europe, it's not quite true that the sanctions are not working. Russia's bleeding out as well.

This looks like a bit similar to various 'vanity publishing' operations in the writing world. These varied quite a bit, there was an era (pre-Internet) when it wasn't uncommon for the up-and-coming corporate executive to hire a writer and publisher to write a glamorous biography and print a few thousand copies, to be handed out to whoever would take them. I suppose today that approach could plausibly provide a 'source reference' to base a Wikipedia page on (See! See! Someone wrote a Book about Me!). I suppose this is relatively harmless, if a bit ridiculous.

However, another side of the vanity publishing world is pretty scammy, basically promising writers and musicians and artists (generally ones with little commercial promise) 'a chance at success' by taking their money and doing things like this.

https://selfpublishingadvice.org/what-is-vanity-publishing/

> "A reputable company empowers clients with the information they need to choose the right service for their needs. That's in stark contrast to the deceitful and manipulative tactics used by vanity presses, where the goal is to sell the authors as many services as possible."

The net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. The push to platform everyone you don't like is accelerating radicalization. Instead of just existing as a small number of weirdos on mainstream platforms with millions of users, they are now building their own silos. Forced from internet infrastructure and payment networks, they are forced to build their own platforms and banks. This is happening now. The end game is an entirely segregated society. As the bar of allowed speech continues to zoom past opinions of large numbers of normal people, they too will be forced to move on to the alternative platforms.
Same here. Very annoying editing. Mountain footage is best when it's sweeping, languid and relaxed. Just as I was identifying a location it would cut. Hope there's raw footage out of this.
If you call the script main.user.js instead of main.tampermonkey.js tampermonkey and other userscript tools will pick up the script automatically instead of needing to paste the URL in. For example I put my userscripts at https://userscripts.kevincox.ca and just clicking any of them should offer to install if you have a userscript extension set up.
We've been experimenting with NativeAOT for years with ASP.NET Core (which does runtime code generation all over the place). The most promising prototypes thus far are:

- https://github.com/davidfowl/FasterActions
- https://github.com/davidfowl/uController

They are source generated version of what ASP.NET does today (in both MVC and minimal APIs). There are some ergonomic challenges with source generators that we'll likely be working through over the coming years so don't expect magic. Also its highly unlikely that ASP.NET Core will not depend on any form of reflection. Luckily, "statically described" reflection generally works fine with NativeAOT.

Things like configuration binding, DI, Logging, MVC, JSON serialization all rely on some form of reflection today and it will be non-trivial to remove all of it but we can get pretty far with NativeAOT if we accept some of the constraints.

As of right now, we're trying to make sure "motivated people" can play with it, but it's not something that is supported by ASP.NET Core or EF at the moment.
