Doubt it. As bad as the current court is, some of the conservative members take the First Amendment seriously (Gorsuch, Roberts) so I think the parodist will win.
Amazon is influential enough in home automation that it won't happen. Alexa is the most likely home assistant to respond in American homes.
Apple is a long ways behind, but they have enough stubbornness and power to keep their influence in the decision making as well.
I think scaffolding is YAGNI. I've only needed it when I didn't know what I was doing.
last time i researched mac email clients a few years ago, i found that spark was one of the worst in terms of privacy and tracking. i settled on canary mail (https://canarymail.io/) as it was better in that regard, while still supporting gmail (which i no longer use).
You’ve described all of it. I’d add in that there are more baby mamas than there are baby papas too. Men are born at a higher rate than women. (5-7%)

You may disagree with what they are saying, but these books will give you a new perspective.
I agree that there's lots of unhelpful innuendo there. Though suffering "three broken ribs, a lacerated liver, head injuries, and a broken neck...subdural hematomas at three places on the left side and three places on the right side" accidentally, during a "grappling exercise", raises some eyebrows.
No, a racist statement would be "this person is a scammer because they're from India" (though technically still not racist, because India is a nation, not a race).

The majority of all scams world-wide originate in India and the income generated through these are a significant part of India's GDP, so their statement is very much understandable.

I certainly doubt it's truth though. It's probably just the usual incompetence in public office.
It's Musk fatigue. We're all sick and tired of his constant waffling and gameplaying. Just because he now says he'll buy Twitter doesn't actually mean anything, he could easily reverse himself again. Frankly, he's more than a little tiresome.
Nice. Hopefully this will replace the blob in the future for Nvidia users.
They're just saying they wish they could have one without needing to make it because they like it. I don't see how that's miserable.
"Better" for who?

I can't see almost anything Twitter has done in the last decade as being "better". Off the top of my head:

* Killing off tons of client by their changes to the API

* Switching to algorithmic timeline instead of chronological

* Infesting my timeline with "X like this post", "You might also like", and a ton of ads

* Horrible UI for viewing threads even though it's now better supported (ability to tweet a whole thread from the official UI)

* Podcasts‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽

* Twitter Blue, I still have no clue who uses this or why

* Moments or Topics (or whatever that one tab in the official app is)

* Their clone of that "podcasts but worse" service that I've already forgotten about. (Spaces! I had to go look it up)

Other than increasing the character limit (ok, there was 1 thing) there isn't a single thing they've done recently (or over the last decade) that I can point to and say "That made Twitter better!". It to the point that you have to be sadist to use their official clients, every time I open the website or the official client I get frustrated.

Now if you just care about stockholders then sure, shoving a ton of ads in your feed and filling your feed with people you don't follow or care about probably makes sense, in the short term, because that's all stockholders care about.
What? That’s opposite of how it should work. Lower demand depresses prices.
I left my full time role right at the beginning of the pandemic due to burnout.

I was planning to take time off before applying to full time roles, but then ended up doing part time contract work at a few startups instead and it was the best thing for my mental health. I was able to more concretely separate work from life since when I was on the clock I was billing for it and when I was not I never felt bad as if if I wasn't "doing enough".

My contracts all came through my personal and professional network though, so it's interesting to see a job board focused on part time and contract roles.

My standard test prompt has become "John Wayne as Captain America". Your images were returned > 10x faster than on other stable diffusion generators and generated many more images.

The website notes that 6 and 7 are "only if the things I want to say about those topics are still relevant and still haven't been said." This does make me think that he isn't particularly planning on working on these books at all, especially given that the timeline goes "volumes 4 & 5, revise volume 1-3, reader's digest 1-5, then maybe work on 6 & 7"
> there’s a video of him doing just that

I believed that for years. It just sounds like the sort of oafish, lame humor I'd expect from him.

But finally, I looked more deeply into it. My impression from that dive is that he was not specifically mocking this reporter's disability. Rather, it's more of a theatrical way of saying "Duh!", which he has used on many prior occasions, and even occasionally when referring to himself. (And of course, "duh" comes from a meaning of mocking people with low IQs or other similar disabilities. You could argue that it's wrong, but it's not particularly unusual in American discourse.)

It's somewhat open to interpretation, but I think a reasonable person could come down either way.

What I don't like about Matter is that the participants in the standard itself don't seem to be proceeding with the ideal of having an abstract, unified control device. From a further link [1] from the posted article:

> Consumers will still need a lot of apps: One of the initial promises of Matter was that consumers would be able to add a device — like Amazon’s Echo — to their smart home controller but wouldn’t have to download a special app for every outlet or light switch they bring into the home. But at launch, and likely for a couple of years as the standard gets more robust, consumers will still need apps for anything beyond the basics, including installation. Even my panelists realized that this was the case.

I hope these companies realize that they are basically excluding themselves from a lot of potential customers by pulling this crap. I would have put smart bulbs as upscale stocking stuffers every holiday season if it wasn't for the fact that I have no idea what product / version / "ecosystem" the potential recipients use. "Just install a new app" is not a reasonable solution.

ADHD is a broad spectrum of developmental delay issues that present as different behaviours but can be observed in ECGs. There is no "cure". Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they're talking about. There are only strategies for minimising the unwanted effects that cause disruption to your life.

The large portion of people taking stimulant ADHD medication to "study" are not by and large getting the same effect as those with ADHD get. For someone with ADHD the medication balances attention dysregulation, that is curbing hyper-focus, and attention "drift" while on a task. It doesn't temporarily turn you into some superhuman memoriser or Ernest Hemingway. It's not some magical potion buff. For those using it to stay awake to cram more low quality hours of memorisation in, they most likely have good memories to begin with, that's how they got there in the first place, it doesn't enhance their abilities.

The only advantage those with ADHD get is that they finally get to play on a level playing field. That's like saying those who wear glasses are at an unfair advantage in a "spot the difference" exam. Give me a break.

Why do you say that softening demand will cause prices to go up? That sounds contrary to every economics lesson I've ever had.
I used pg_repack at a very large scale, and one issue I ran into was write amplification. Since it used triggers to keep a log of rows changed, writes during repack were 2x normal.

pg_squeeze use of replication slots seems cool because it just tells Postgres to save WAL it already wrote, no 2x amplification.
Sounds like a typical murder -- like freddie gray, etc.
Far be it from me to defend Reason, but I think you're overstating the degree of innuendo: the victim's statement directly accused 4 LAPD officers of rape, meaning that Tipping's conscience was the only thing between four men with guns and four potential, very long prison stays.

Combine that with the attorney's claim that one of the accused officers was at the training, and you have ample motive, cause, and setting. A court case would reveal more details, and that's precisely what the Tipping's family appears to be seeking.
All the engine functionality is FOSS https://semgrep.dev/docs/experiments/r2c-internal-project-de... (code at https://github.com/returntocorp/semgrep); but the rules are currently private (may change in the future).

As with all other Semgrep scanning, the analysis is done locally and offline -- which is a major contrast to most other vendors. See #12 on our development philosophy for more details: https://semgrep.dev/docs/contributing/semgrep-philosophy/

Relevant part of the changelog is a good idea--others have also come out with statistical approaches based on upgrades others made (eg dependabot has a compatibility score which is based on "when we made PRs for this on other repos, what % of the time did tests pass vs fail")
My guess is that 2-5 years from now, copyright/trademark suits will have removed the current iterations of Stable Diffusion from widespread use.

The idea and technology is awesome, but one must be very careful with the training data.
That's a fair compromise. Original author owns the rights to a given piece of art in whole and trademark from title, so they can profit off their work and make next title without being mistaken for someone else.

Everyone else is free to do with IP, do remixes etc. and if they make something with original IP that is better than originals, so be it ,competition actually working.
I believe medical examiners make that determination based off the police report in cases like this. So if the cops said it was an accident, and the ME finds that the accidental injury was the cause of death, then it's an accidental death.
It is still wild to me that this is the approach we are taking, things are getting too expensive so let's shrink the economy. That can't be the best solution. We are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
What they are missing here is that with QEMU only emulating and not virtualising in a way, was a far bigger limitation counterpart of which does not exist in SQLite.

SQLite delivers for the process embedded database promise and delivers it well. Sure, can have column oriented flavour like DuckDB etc but they don't call themselves SQLite or its fork.

Lastly, like many pointed out, SQLite is not even licensed (Apache, MIT etc) it is just in public domain so anything is possible.
> Putin controls the valves, he doesn't need to blow it up to hurt the Europeans.

If the plan is to come in later as the savior of an impoverished Europe then yes, he does need to blow it up. Shutting off the valves makes him the bad guy, and people will remember. Having it blown up by some unknown party, ideally the US, lets him pretend it was all out of his control and he's doing the best he can to help his dear friends in Europe.
I believe it's usually the state bureau of investigation, unless there's an interstate angle.
From what I understand, Costco aims for their net income to be equal to their membership revenue.

And so the sum total of all things sold is equal to all the costs. And so if they are getting a high margin on some items, such as fake medicine which typically have huge markups, then this would allow them to have near zero or even negative margin on other items (which I presume are popular staples like milk/eggs/etc).

With the cash back rewards for executive membership, I do not even end up paying for my membership, so I assume items with higher markup are subsidizing that also.
Is this really true though? In the projects I've seen this Covenant pushed heavily, it just seems to be a way to distract from building the product, to instead spend valuable contributor time debating identity politics.

There's a time and place for this sort of thing (e.g. Twitter); open source projects are typically not an appropriate venue.

> Another significant issue with digital movies and games is the inability to resell the content once you're done with it.

Which, as I've recently noticed, in turn has the interesting (and from the consumer point of view somewhat unfortunate) side effect that if a particular online release is pulled from distribution, it becomes completely unavailable (at least through legal channels) from one moment to the next.

Whereas with physical media first of all being pulled from distribution doesn't automatically mean that all existing stock in all stores worldwide is being recalled (it can happen, but the process is not as intrinsically linked as it is with digital distribution), and secondly in any case there's always the second hand market to completely legally fall back to, so the onset of unavailability is a more gradual process, especially for more popular media where there's a sizeable second hand market offering available.

With digital media on the other hand you more or less immediately have to fall back to under-the-table sources if that happens…
It is the same mentality that the robocallers use. Call and annoy a million people with your computer program in hopes of getting a handful to fall for your overpriced offering (assuming of course that the whole product or service isn't just a scam).

Good Machine Learning Practice for Medical Device Development
Warning for folks using or considering using the Spark client. I downloaded and set up the Spark email client back in 2019, thinking I'd enter my IMAP credentials for local email usage.

My fault for not reading how it works, including storing my email credentials (username and password) on their servers, and storing my emails on their servers to send push notifications.

What's worse is that I've got almost 1000 email aliases (company@mydomain.com) set up over the years to filter email and block companies that send spam or get hacked. And I started to receive marketing email from Readdle (company behind Spark) to my main email address (which I would never give out to any company).

Tl;dr: they store your email credentials and send marketing emails to your main address.
Somewhat related, I've been working on a tool to help do ad hoc work on CSV files. My current solution is embedding SQLite in the browser: https://csvhacker.statico.io/

1. It's creepy that corporations are having expectations about how volunteer effort to create code that they use for free runs itself (or claims to run itself). It's generally not even being made for the corporations that are using it - the software is made for everyone to use (and fork) as they see fit.

2. These corporations are not engaging in this behavior spontaneously. They are responding to a legal regime which is increasingly becoming totalitarian.
Whenever there's a discussion about copyright and AI-generated images, there will be people claiming that AI can't possibly reproduce images it has been trained on. Stable Diffusion and similar software supposedly only learns higher concepts and hence no one can claim that its outputs are derived works. The rationale I often see mentioned for this argument is that the model is very much smaller (in terms of bytes) than the set of images used to train it, so verbatim images can't possibly be stored in it.

Yet, there are plenty of examples where it will reproduce well-known works out of it. People have reported images with recognizable watermarks [1]. How do you reconcile this fact with the previous claim? Is there a special part of the model that stores Mickey Mouse, Batman and Getty Images watermark verbatim, but other less-well known artists' art gets reduced to mere concepts?

When you put in a prompt "magnificent owl" and get out an unrecognizable owl artwork out of the machine, I wonder. Is that really a novel artwork, or is unrecognizable merely because it was done by some random person uploading their art to an unknown DeviantArt account 5 years ago that was seen by 10 people in total since, just barely changed enough by the AI that a similarity search through billions of images in the training set won't find it?

The same court had ruled against them previously. If they just wanted to let them off, why didn't they do it then? It seems to me the most reasonable explanation is that they were interpreting the law (IANAL but badly it seems to me in the second case) not ignoring it. That may amount to the same to you but I think there's a huge difference in terms of how to remediate the situation. To me, the answer is to amend the law so that it does what we want rather than just make blanket claims that can't be acted on.
My biggest issue with Thread is (AFAICT) it gives each device access to the internet. That's the absolute last thing I want and the reason I went 100% Z-wave (with a handful of legacy zigbee devices). I want a single point of local hardware that my devices talk to and that hub can talk to the internet as needed but I don't want to have to vet every device or deal with companies going out of business.

As it stands now I don't care at all who made my Z-wave switches/bulbs/plugs, they could already be out of business for all I care, that's not the case with 90% of "smart home" shit I see online. "No hub" means "absolutely not" for me because that's a wifi device with full access to your network (unless you segment) and the internet.
From https://go.dev/security/vuln/: "A vulnerability database is populated with reports using information from the data pipeline. All reports in the database are reviewed and curated by the Go Security team."
