Weekends only matter as much as you argue here if your company owns your ass 9-5 Mon-Fri (plus commute, sometimes). If you're able to be more flexible, it's nice to go out when everyone else is working.

I understand your point, though, I work max 30-35 hours a week, often on weekends, and spend as much time as I can with my son and wife.
It's not the case. And the two different tournaments used very different time controls, which essentially makes a different "kind" of chess. One was rapid (and played online with computers, but sitting across from each other), the second one was classical chess (much longer and considered to be far more serious chess), played over the board the old fashioned way.

"Is an AI-created work copyrighted and owned by the AI?" and "Is an AI-created work copyrighted and owned by a human?" and " Is an AI-created work copyright infringement?" are three separate questions.

Just because the answer is no to the first doesn't mean the answer is no to the second, and the third is ever more distinct. That's why this is an open question educated lawyers make guesses about.

Isn't this the main reason why this "frugality excercise" is being held, and unnecessary stress generated? Sounds like a major VP+ screwup. I hope that layer will answer.

I'm not into conspiracy theories, but this mess seems orchestrated. Or simply CEOs trying to keep the feature parity at the HR level...
That might reduce numbers, but it would also raise average willingness. Solving Russia's morale problems for them could actually be helping the invasion.
Would also like to know this. It looks like they're processing the audio file in 30 second chunks, so a naive approach of keeping a buffer of 30-second input stream chunks and just continually writing to an output .mp3 could work...

> Comments are not a solution for much of anything,

What are Unix man-pages but comments about the APIs they describe? Are you saying you would prefer to replace them with the TypeScript type-language?

As I see it TypeScript is a a solution to the problem of how to describe a function, what it does, what it expects from its arguments and what it returns. That information can often be clearly and simply expressed with a comment, rather than with a complicated type-declaration. And type-language only describes the syntactic behavior of a module, not its semantics.

When type-declarations become more complicated than the code they are describing I think we're at a point of diminishing returns.

The other purpose of type-declarations is to catch errors. But if a declaration is very complicated how can we be sure there's no errors in it?

I've seen smart glass demoed at a home show 25 years ago. I thought it was way cool, until they quoted the price. It's no surprise it hasn't gotten any traction since. Oh, it also consumed electric power when in dark mode, as much as a light bulb. It's not a passive system.

Window blinds, louvers, eyebrows, shades, etc., all work fine and are cheap.

BTW, when I lived in Phoenix in the 1970s, people would tape aluminum foil or newspapers on the windows to cut the heat intake. The newspapers would block most of the solar heat, but would let the light through.

Here in Seattle I made some reflective panels I can just stick on the windows when we have a heat wave. Plenty of light still gets in.
It's definitely the case that streamers focusing on their bodies are not large in aggregate: Twitch streamers are overwhelmingly male, and even among female streamers they're a minority . However, "hot tub streamers" (by this I more broadly mean streamers whose main content is clearly meant as titillation) are significantly overrepresented among the top female streamers. Amouranth is the top female streamer by a long shot, with an audience twice as large as the next largest female creator on the platform.

There's definitely a moral panic component, but there are nonetheless negative aspects to having this content on Twitch. Women on the platform report feeling pressure and an expectation of producing this kind of content, because so many other popular women on the platform do it. There's also the idea that this juxtaposition spreads the message to viewers that men gain attention by exhibiting their skills and women get attention by exhibiting their bodies.

I do support the ability of people to produce this kind of content - or even explicit streams, for that matter - but I'm sympathetic to the idea that twitch should spin it off into something like lifestyle.tv in the same vein that twitch.tv was once a gaming spinoff of justin.tv.

The economy has also grown drastically since then. The dollar has also become much stronger relative to nearly every other currency since then.

It doesn't appear that the Fed needs to wind down much, if any, of that liquidity at all, since it seems it's been absorbed perfectly by the global economy.

What we are seeing is the Fed deliberately causing the economy to contract below its capabilities in an attempt to slow down the growth of prices, which is NOT caused by monetary reasons, but since the Fed only has control over monetary levers that's what they're using. Classic case of everything looking like a nail if all you have is a hammer.

If energy prices go back down to more "normal" levels, I suspect the Fed will be forced to inject more money into the system again, to rev up the US economy, and weaken the hyper strong dollar to protect people in developing countries from starving.
The t-glottalization mentioned in the article is now picking up speed in the USA too, most notably (I think) among female speakers. I'm still shocked (as someone who grew up with a cockney-leaning accent) to hear presenters on NPR do t-glottalization, and on the occasions when I'm around millenials, especially millenial women, it's an every-fifth-sentence phenomenon. Given its role as a class status/marker in the UK during my youth, it feels very surprising, but also a great living reminder of how language changes in real time.

Well, Guix is also mentioned when someone talks about Nix, seems fair to me (and of course, Guix may be more relevant sometimes!).
So the list of countries with nuclear arsenals is very short. It ends in North Korea and Israel, basically the rogue state of China (but fiercely independent at the same time, it is not subservient, it assisted China militarily in the hardest times after being carved to pieces for centuries by the nuclear powers of the time, and apparently nobody ever helped the Chinese ever) and secondly Israel, America's rogue state (but fiercely independent at the same time, it is not subservient, it assisted America militarily, and really they get all kinds of exceptions because they invented it, can't realistically stop them from having it).

Secondly France has huge problems with sovereignty because it can't make a computer. That's the impediment to their sovereignty. Nukes the have, that's not the issue. And even America is struggling with supply lines, looks like nobody can make a computer anymore.
Yeah, it's pretty easy to get Stable Diffusion to spit out images which are blatantly recognizable as slight distortions of real photographs or product images. I think "medieval market square" was a prompt which got me variations of one photo of a European city.

It's sophisticated software, but the analogy with teaching a human artist really doesn't hold. Ultimately it's making complex mashups, and the copyright law around that is not straightforward.

When a model is trained on 'all-rights-reserved' content like most image datasets, the community say it's fair game. But when it's 'just-a-few-rights-reserved' content like GPL code, apparently the community says that crosses a line?

A) This is just taking divided opinion and treating it like a person with a contradictory opinion (as others have noted).

B) Nothing about GPL makes it "less copyrighted". Acting like a commercial copyright is "stronger" because it doesn't immediately grant certain uses is false and needs to be challenged whenever the claim is made.

C) If anything, I suspect image generation is going to be practically more problematic for users - you'll be exhibiting a result that might be very similar to the copyrighted training, might contain a watermark, etc. If you paste a big piece of GPL'd copy into your commercial source code, it won't necessarily be obvious once the thing is compiled (though there are whistleblowers and etc, don't do it).
> people in russia generally grok what has been actually happening, lets not dumb whole population down to brainless incompetents

There is a difference between understanding what is happening and caring about it.

I believe Russians do understand what is happening, for the most part. But I believe most Russians just don't care enough to do something about it. That might change when their sons, fathers, husbands are on the hook to go to a bloody war.

It is kinda like eating meat. You know it comes from an animal that most likely had to live in poor conditions and then be killed. Most people do understand that this is what is happening, and yet they do not act on it because it is easier to not do anything.
As software engineers, I don't think this industry value loyalty in the past decade. Job hopping is the norm and is encouraged essentially by the market.

Does that mean that Guix just exports the required environment variables in the shell rather than wrapping each executable with a bash script [1] like nix does?

If yes, that's great, because the wrapper approach feels like an ugly hack. I found some executables on my nixos installation that are behind three layers of wrappers, and that's probably not the maximum.

I guess nix could improve this situation by making `wrapProgram` smarter (if the executable to be wrapped is already a wrapper, merge the inner and outer wrapper), but even single-layer wrappers are annoying, and I imagine they have some performance impact.

EDIT:

I forgot about nix-shell, which does actually export the right environment variables directly to the shell.

You know, you're not wrong about that, especially given that RAC is made by the same folks as Spyro. I will say there are a handful of mechanics unique to Spyro that I enjoyed (flight stages in particular), but if you haven't finished the RAC games yet, I'd say they're absolutely worth playing first.

I loved A Hat in Time, but I'd definitely put it in a different sub-genre (or maybe sub-sub-genre) from Spyro. I feel like there's a divide between games where you go into a level to collect a thing, then the level is over (e.g. Mario 64) and games where you go into a level to collect ALL the things (e.g. Banjo Kazooie). The former tends to have a little more variety, as often the level will change in-between things.
Proving artwork you created is free from all copyright issues is similarly impossible, but in practice isn’t an issue. So, I don’t see any AI specific justification being relevant.

>You make it sound like truth wasn't a game until now, all of a sudden, or that people weren't championing the goals they value until now, all of a sudden.

My intention was to make it sound like objective reality was always at least part of the game until now. There has never been a period of time where the explicit rejection of objective reality in lieu of ideology has been a significant part of the United States "establishment".

>'Post-modernism' is one of the most over-used keywords to describe the current landscape, particularly if you think only a certain party can be accused of it.

Unfortunately rampant partisanship combined with a lack of education and critical thinking skills has left people unable to have any understanding of society outside of the false, contrived Republican vs Democratic binary narrative.

As an example of the delusional brain-rot that has infected our institutions, I point you to a recent article from The Atlantic, which has been widely regarded as the voice of the DC Establishment for decades.

> since it seems it's been absorbed perfectly by the global economy.

So that's why we're getting 8-9% inflation rates? Because of the perfect absorption?
That's what I meant by the correction - correction to pre COVID levels. The truth is there are many areas where prices have yet to correct to pre-COVID levels of price and growth. If this is driven by inflation then it may take some time (~5 years or so based on what I am reading elsewhere). If it doesn't then maybe this is a systemic increase due to the shift of high earners out of traditional HCOL areas (Bay area, NYC)
This generalization is incorrect. With high inflation hard assets and commodities appreciate. Payroll goes down relative to price of goods (revenue) so many sectors benefit. And it's a fire-sale for people with savings waiting for a big dip.

Source, I lived through high/hyper inflation and was educated on this topic by rich people there.
So would the SEO people. But even disregarding that problem, to have a halfway decent search ranking you're going to need deep learning, and you'll get a model that is largely opaque.

WHO started a Flutter Covid-19 app 13 days before lockdown
Mildly interesting...

In 2020, The World Health Organisation started working on a COVID-19 app for Nigeria, built with Flutter. I've been actively interested in Flutter since 2017, but for some reason never saw this in any of the Flutter news.

First commit was March 17th 2020, which is 13 days before the first Nigeria lockdown. As a mild tangent, this was 6 days before the first UK lockdown, 2 days before the first USA lockdown and 4 days after the Albania lockdown (the first lockdown in the world).

It's also a monorepo, which seem quite popular in the Flutter community where Dart is used on the backend.

> Deposits are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category

If you want have more than $250k insured in regular accounts, spread it across multiple banks (or put some in a joint acct, but that has its own risks).

Opening a chequing account and a savings account at the same bank doesn’t give you $500k of coverage if you were to put 250k in each.
“CPU” isn’t necessarily the benchmark, though. Most smartphones going back years have ML inference accelerators built in, and both Intel and AMD are starting to build in instructions to accelerate inference. Apple’s M1 and M2 have the same inference accelerator hardware as their phones and tablets. The question is whether this model is a good fit for those inference accelerators, and how well it works there, or how well it works running on the integrated GPUs these devices all have.

Brute forcing the model with just traditional CPU instructions is fine, but… obviously going to be pretty slow.

I have no experience on the accuracy of Talon, but I’ve heard that most open source models are basically overfit to the test datasets… so their posted accuracy is often misleading. If Whisper is substantially better in the real world, that’s the important thing, but I have no idea if that’s the case.

Yeah a transaction ID solution would work pretty well. Every request would return the highest transaction ID seen by the replica; writes forwarded to the primary would also return the transaction ID after that write; any request with a transaction ID higher than the replica would be forwarded to the primary.

It didn't look particularly creepy to me to begin with. I linked to the wider-angle photos to show what the overall lighting of the building was designed to look like. The close-up video of Biden speaking is pretty standard, I agree.

I looked at the C-SPAN video and saw the same crappy background lighting and the same on-the-fly attempt to fix it, along with occasional crowd shots of people in folding chairs politely applauding.

I think you are overestimating both how much thought the people who prepared this scene put into the visuals and how much control they had over the setting. In order to believe that something sinister is going on, I would have to believe that:

1. The Biden team (or whoever did the lighting) was "obsessed" with the visuals and highly competent, but changed their minds about the lighting two minutes into the speech.

2. The Biden team intended to produce fascist-style visuals for the speech, but instead of having the audience be rows of soldiers they put a bunch of ordinary-looking people in lawn chairs around a circle.

3. CNN is in the tank for Biden, but decided to suddenly ignore his "clear intent" and "fix" the visuals twelve minutes into the speech.

4. Biden decided to use Nazi imagery in a speech opposing fascism and supporting pluralistic democracy, for... some reason?

5. Anyone, anywhere, could ever see Joe Biden (of all people) as a fascist Great Leader figure.

I think you are looking for conflict and complexity where there is none. The simplest and most plausible explanation for the visuals is that someone did a crappy job on the setup.
What is the difference between the setup you describe being used for what I assume is privacy, and the same setup being used for nefarious reasons exiting from your presumably consumer level VPS?
