Rovelli’s work on relational QM suggests to me that superposition-as-real in the Copenhagen interpretation is false, a misunderstanding of how to incorporate the observer into the equation.

Once the observer (or the affected system, same thing, in the end) is incorporated, a lot of the things about superposition that needed interpretation disappear.

Read Helgoland for more.

(My physics degree was a long time ago and my math is quite out of date. While Rovelli doesn’t discuss QC in the book, his take on what superposition is not has strong implications for QC AFAICT.)

The question of whether it's copyrightable is completely up in the air right now. To my mind, emitting it into the Creative Commons somewhat side steps the question.

Besides, there's all sorts of use cases where copyright is less relevant. Advertising agencies care less if their artwork gets copied because it puts it in front of more eyeballs.

> There is no money in non-copyrightable generated computer images.

I'm a game developer but not an artist. If a computer can generate the artwork for my game, I completely get to sidestep paying an artist for that work. That's huge value. I would pay a subscription service to a database of AI generated content even if it couldn't be copyrighted.

> now peoples try to understand why you need unsafe

I think that was always the case. actix is a singularly unique example, and I had never seen anything like it before or since. Not even close. There just hasn't been any Rust project with that kind of popularity that also contained egregiously unsound code. So we're not just talking about unnecessary use of unsafe here, but egregiously unsound usage of unsafe.

The attitude toward 'unsafe' has pretty much always been the same. Use it. It exists for a reason. But make sure it's justified and strive for soundness.
Neat, https://github.com/openai/whisper - they have open-sourced it, even the model weights, so they are living up to their name in this instance.

The 4 examples are stunningly good (the examples have speakers with heavy accents, speaking in foreign language, speaking with dynamic background noise, etc.), this is far and away better than anything else I've seen. Will be super curious to see other folks trying it out and seeing if it's as robust as it seems, including when confronted with audio speech with natural tics and uhhh's and uhmm's and everything in-between.

I think it's fair to say that AI-transcription accuracy is now decidedly superior to the average human's, what the implications of this are I'm not sure.

You're missing the point, anyone working at Paypal could have any view on Free Speech. That doesn't determine what they decide when determining what is the correct way to balance competing priorities when running a business. It's fine for Paypal Execs to be free speech maximalists, but if they think that will have an adverse business impact, for example due to reputational damage, that will determine how they run their business.

>This is clearly not a statement in favour of free speech, it's an enumeration of what types of speech they think they are banning.

Disregarding the fact that this one passage has been cherry picked from what will obviously be a pro-forma response, depending on the details of what they define as promoting hate, violence or racial intolerance, they could absolutely be taking a maximalist free speech approach. It depends what degree or definition of those terms Paypal is choosing to apply.

I don't read the daily sceptic, clearly you do, as you already have some topics in mind for what they might be in trouble for. I just looked it up, I think you're probably right, if as you claim the Daily Sceptic has been directing and encouraging harassment and violent threats against doctors at a hospital, I think even the most vociferous free speech advocate would understand Paypal's reasonable approach.
Why would you search a Getty competitor for AI generated images when you can just roll your own?
To a reasonable degree, yes, but recent governments around the world have made it their number one priority; see the responses to Covid, where preventing one more death from Covid seemingly was worth whatever the cost may be.

Maybe it's just my inner American, but I believe government was not formed to protect me from my own decisions, and me from the decisions of others provided that they do not directly and materially harm me.

The more reasonable explanation, I suppose, is that government seeks to preserve and grow its own power, and often does so in the guise of public safety.

I agree that Tether has certainly been pumping BTC with money they don't have, but

> if you look at recent (~1.5 years) sudden spikes in BTC price, they correspond almost always to a new supply of USDT being released by Tether.

is what you would expect to see even if Tether was 100% legit. As you say, most BTC liquidity is in USDT, so people buying Bitcoin would first buy (mint) USDT from Tether, and then use that to buy BTC.

"If they attack positions that are widely recognized as scientific consensuses, then they clearly are NOT pro-science."

This is the authoritarian pseudo-science that has been corrupting actual scientific progress for some time now. You are wrong for three reasons:

1. There's no such thing as a scientific consensus because science is a method, not a set of people, but a method can't have a consensus about something.

2. None of the positions they attack are actually a consensus anyway even if we replace the word "scientific" with "academics/scientists", and they like to prove it from time to time by pointing to scientists or entire groups of scientists stating that they disagree with those positions (see other comment).

3. Their writers provide data backed and scientific [counter-]arguments for their positions.

There's also lots of articles there sounding the alarm about corruption of scientific institutions. Like this recent one [1] about bias in the peer review process. Here's another where they decry ideological bias in Nature [2]. They pretty regularly cover cases where scientific institutions are clearly acting in unscientific ways.

You need to choose a domain. Find software and libraries in that domain and then work off of that. "Modern C++" can mean alot of things. Most people conflate this with the STD library, but alot of people don't use that. Core language feature wise it's not that much. Some "Modern" c++ domains don't even use the STD.

This is similar to asking "What is the best way to learn modern Java", where the answer will vary vastly based off what whether you're doing embedded, desktop, server, serverless, websites etc.

Possibilities for "modern" C++ domains. HPC, Machine Learning, Finance, Gamedev, Crypto, Scientific... Also keep in mind most are going to be writing C with Classes and target C++11 at most.

+1 on all of the above, and to add: there isn't infinite liquidity on securities, and that's ok. And that's exactly the problem: Tether is pretending not be be an security, even though it transparently is.

Heck, to generalize on this, this is kind of the ur-problem with crypto generally: a bunch of things pretending to be currencies but are actually securities. The whole subterfuge is intentional, to foist risky assets on people by lying about their nature, and to avoid the (hard fought and hard justified) regulations around said risky assets.
My advice would be to avoid attempting to solve the problem by introducing a cache layer or any auxiliary query cache, and instead remove the problem at storage level by leveraging a database solution that 1) stores relationships as links 2) allows queries to resolve relationships to an arbitrary level without specifying join conditions. These two things make sure your entity resolution can happen with direct lookups instead of index lookups (or pog forbid, table scans).

If you absolutely cannot do that, cache at entity resolution level. Although, it really doesn’t solve the actual problem, just makes it more bearable by offloading primary DB workload to another DB, so why not run a read replica instead?
That sounds like a valid reason to avoid playing against that player.
10 years ago fly.io is the company I wanted to build. Something with massive technical depth that becomes a developer product. They're doing an incredible job and part of that comes down to how they evangelise the product outside of all the technical hackery. This requires so much continued effort. AND THEN to actually run a business on top of all that. Kudos to you guys. I struggled so much with this. Wish you nothing but continued success.
Stretching My Legs in the Data Engineering Ecosystem in 2022
It's less direct than that. Some crypto fund has say 10M$, they want to buy a lot of BTC, so they borrow 20M$ denominated in USD but settled in USDT from iFinex treasury, and use it to buy BTC. iFinex can now claim that they are backed by USD assets, crypto fund effectively has taken a leveraged BTC long position, pushing BTC up, everybody is happy. Until BTC goes down too much or everybody tries to withdraw USDT, or both, then everything unravels.

You can also replace "crypto fund" by any crypto project that uses leverage to deliver extraordinary returns - as long as everything goes up.

His fictional story reminds me of the Homebrew 2.7 debacle: https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions/340

I agree with the overall premise, but there's a balance to be had somewhere. When millions of developers use your tools, you do have to be a little more careful when you make breaking changes.

> This is distributed SQLite 3, running (I assume at least partially managed?) Litestream for you.

Oh, I forgot to touch on this point. LiteFS uses some concepts to Litestream (e.g. log shipping), however, it doesn't use Litestream internally. It has much stricter requirements in terms of ensuring consistency since it's distributed so it performs an incremental checksum of the database on every transaction. It has additional benefits with its internal storage format called LTX. These storage files can be compacted together which will allow point-in-time restores that are nearly instant.

I had a couple people attempt this for the dev environment of https://www.oilshell.org/ with Nix, and it wasn't entirely successful. (Not Guix, but my understanding is that Guix would have the same issues)

As background, we've long had a set of evolving shell scripts that fetch and build dependencies at specific versions -- like bash/dash/zsh/mksh/busybox to test against, re2c to generate code, CommonMark, Python 3.10, MyPy with pip dependencies, and (bonus) R with CRAN dependencies.

I wrote about 2 problems here: https://lobste.rs/s/s5co2f/where_contributors_have_problems_...

1. OS X and libc, which is not really a problem since our existing scripts don't solve it either. It was just one motivation for Nix that didn't quite work out.

2. The file system layout becomes different, and Oil's shell tests rely on that. So containers ended up being easier. The whole build and test system runs in OCI containers under Docker and podman now, so it's pretty reproducible and automated.

But I still think it would be nice if someone who actually knows Nix and Guix (unlike me) tries again. The dependencies are more stable now than 2 years ago.

I think you have to write like 10 Nix or Guix expressions from scratch with the exact tarballs that we use. (Otherwise the tests will break even more, because Oil's tests are extremely detailed and find bugs in specific versions of specific shells.)

Right now we have a 134 line shell.nix that tries to reuse Oil's scripts, but I think it doesn't gibe with the way that Nix and Guix are meant to be used. Probably the real solution would be more like 1000 lines from scratch?

I remember that Nix Flakes was what I thought Nix was going to be, but at the time it wasn't ready. I thought Nix was supposed to solve the "it works on my machine" problem but it actually doesn't -- you still need a CI because it's possible to write .nix expressions in ways that break the sandboxing (unlike Bazel where you always get it).

I had ran this by someone who knows Guix and my takeaway was that Guix is basically the same in that regard.

A key problem is that, at least for awhile, I want it to work in parallel with our existing system ... not have a "big break".

Dell released a "business class" 13-inch Chromebook (the Lulu platform) in 2015. It came with several options (e.g. Celeron vs i3 vs i5, 4GB vs 8GB RAM, choice of SSD storage size, touchscreen or not, etc). At the time it was released, the retail price for a non-touchscreen i3 was over $900. Again, that was not even the most expensive configuration, and that's 2015 dollars, not 2022 post-COVID inflation dollars. Many institutions went for the cheap Celeron-based models, but plenty others apparently opted for pricier ones (e.g. models with an i3 and a touchscreen, to give one example that I'm personally familiar with).
