I don't see how what I am saying is incoherent, and I see we got off on the wrong foot here, so in the spirit of discussion please allow me to rephrase more simply and neutrally:

1. AI art is still extremely new, and it's unclear what direction the law will take regarding it (if any)

2. Artists are likely to be significantly impacted by this, therefore it is probable that there will be some debate about the legal environment for this AI art. It won't necessarily be in favor of the artists, though I personally hope it will.

3. The law is hopefully aimed at making society better in some way. The definition of that is relative of course, but the spirit of the law is important, otherwise the entire edifice is pointless.

4. The AI art could be argued to be classified as merely transformative, but is regular transformative art likely to have the same impact on artists as AI art? Intuitively, we can probably tell that's not the case because the amount of effort and talent needed to generate AI art is incredibly low compared to the regular version and therefore the output will be vastly higher. The distribution, ease of production and other factors makes this an altogether different problem.

5. The prospect of AI art seems to be a bigger problem for artists than copyright infringement, because it can nuke sales/commissions or even types of artists (such as concept illustrators) in a way copyright infringement cannot. The market power of the 2D artist, which is the hard to reproduce ability to produce things in a very specific style, is gone.

6. Prompt users will deliberately use a reference to specific artists because they expect the result will be better than without. They understand that they are implicitly piggybacking on the work of the artist that led to the style being available in the model, to then use it for their own ends. If the artist had not worked in the way they did, the style would not be easily available in a few seconds. You would have to train for a long time to be able to replicate it, and your output would be very low (hence unproblematic)

So in the end you have something that will greatly impact artists, more so than most threats to intellectual property that are currently covered by the law, and that leads me to believe that the law will change, and if it does not, that it should change. Naturally, it is possible to disagree.

Those numbers don’t mean anything.

The currency in Zimbabwe is so unreliable that barter has become the principal way of saving and storing wealth.

Zimbabwe has “cow banks.” You take your cash salary, and give it to the cow bank. The cow bank uses the cash to buy a cow.

The cow is put into a pen. You can make surprise visits to ensure the cows are alive, healthy, and not being “shared” with other customers.

Interest rates are based on the fertility rates of cattle, not central bank policies.
I don't understand your point. The comment you answered points out that in other countries, the police firing 107 shots is in fact, very not normal. Your comment doesn't attempt to explain why there is a difference between it being normal in the US and abnormal everywhere else, besides dismissing it as "uninformed folks passing judgement". I'd like to know your opinion on why you think the entire German police can get away with firing 137 shots in an entire year while the LA police fires 107 in a single incident.
I suppose it depends on the size of the channel. If you have more subscribers than you can negotiate higher pay for in video ad placements. From channels that I have heard talk about it, google ads make up a minority of their revenue. Perhaps it is not the most representative example but Linus Tech Tips only made 26% of their revenue from YouTube AdSense in 2020.

One of those plagues of shitty consumerism & no market pressure: there's a standard that works great but no one implements it, cause they suck & are no good & there's no consumer pressure to do basic shit.

USB HID has all kinds of sensors & telemetry it can do. USB HID includes a whole sub-spec on Power Devices, with all kinds of information that chargers & batteries can report. To take one example, the Battery System Page (x85) can report Current, Voltage, Temperature, Absolute/RelativeStateOfCharge, RemainingCapacity/FullCapacity, RunTimeToEmpty, ChargerConnection, OutputConnection, ChargingIndicator, and CycleCount (among many other factors) to tell you what is happening. You can set RemainingCapacityLimit or RemainingTimeLimit to trigger a USB alarm condition when capacity falls under threshold. You can monitor individual inputs & outputs separately.

(The one ask I have that's not supported by the spec: a StopChargeAtCapacity setting for batteries, so I can stop my UPS's 5000mah battery at 4200mah to extend it's life drastically)

It's a stupid senseless world where the obvious never happens. Consumers aren't educated enough to have sensible asks. What is possible is ignored. I'll try to break out 'lsusb' more in the future when charging, but my impression is that basically no one- not batteries nor chargers- implements the ancient, obvious, sensible, & easy spec for power devices to report the basics about what they are doing. For shame!
Do you find you convince many people with this style of argumentation? I used to do it this way but it never worked out for me. You think I'm naive, but in fact I just have different priorities from you, and different estimates of the likelihood of outcomes.
That study finds that many times the coroner's report is filled out such that the death is not properly classified as being due to the police so the number of deaths caused by the police may be twice what is reported. The strongest interpretation I can make of this is that if all those misreportings were coverups for murder, then the police would be being held accountable for less than half of the people they killed. However, the study indicates that the problem is largely due to untrained coroners and complex reporting procedures, which doesn't suggest a massive coverup, and I don't think we can assume they all represent murders the police got away with. It doesn't really say anything about how many unjustified deaths occurred vs. how many were justified, and it's specific to deaths as opposed to harassment or corruption or what have you, so I can't say it really convinces me that police are generally not held accountable for their actions.
I'm going to echo others - who says you need to find one thing and stick with it? What if that one thing is no longer worth pursuing? Things change constantly.

Rather than focusing on 1 thing or a couple of things, develop skills for learning and exploring. If you aren't good at reading, do more of that. Learn to love it. Having good skills for reading and comprehension are probably the most important skills you can develop and will pay you dividends hand over fist. It may seem trivial, but I think people tend to underestimate the importance of having good reading skills! Hot on the heals of reading is developing strong problem solving skills. They will help you develop crucial critical thinking skills. Root cause analysis - conditioning yourself to immediately strip any problem/subject down to it's component parts - and being familiar enough with a subject to deconstruct it fully. Whenever there is a new subject, or especially with technology or a new thing to learn I hang out in support forums and try to answer other people's questions about said technology/subject. I have found no faster way to develop expertise in something than forcing myself to learn it inside-out than by trying to support others in answering their questions.

If you develop the skills to adapt/learn/grow then whether or not you are good at one thing is irrelevant. You can be good at adapting and rapidly learning new things, which is far more important in the long run.
Founder of EvenNode here - https://www.evennode.com

We don't have big marketing budgets and are a less known alternative, but we see influx of new customers moving off of Heroku every day.
It's mostly Node.js and Python apps since we focus on this stack.

The migration is very simple - git push evennode main.
This works for most of the apps without any extra steps required. It's really this simple.

Cost is cheaper than Heroku - 4.50 EUR / month.
Each app also gets its own MongoDB database at no additional cost.

The biggest advantage I see, compared to VPS, Lightsail, etc., is you get a fully hosted and monitored platform. A server goes down? No problem, your app is migrated to a new one automatically.

I would says a pretty good alternative to self-hosting and Heroku.
Apple already make iPads and Macbooks with USB-C and have done for years. They're already moving away from Lightning.

> USB-C's gaps are too small for lint to collect.

That's not true, as my phone would be happy to attest. However, I think I cleaned it in the 12-18 month range, when charging stopped working and the cable no longer clicked. There's almost certainly lint back in there, but not enough to necessitate cleaning.
Im not a lawyer but I’m pretty confident that such a settlement or penalty would end up getting paid out to the current shareholders, or else it would be added on top of the $54.20 per share.
There are a couple self-hosting services that rely on k8s or k3s. For example, TrueNAS SCALE and Kubesail. Do you envision that Coolify could deploy on top of one of these, or does it need to own the full machine?
Why the hell do you need to route the email unless you’re working on an email server? Send the email and have the user validate it. If they validate it, it’s a valid email. Don’t be clever, be smart.

Even if you’re working on an email server, you shouldn’t be touching that code unless it’s broken or you’re writing an implementation from scratch. In that case, treat it as an opaque blob.
That might be another factor - people set their reminders for the 1st.
Apple disagree. They moved away from Lightning on iPads and Macbooks already.
Based on my IoT devices I already have, any device that supports Matter will probably use Wi-Fi to ping back home whenever they can.
Switching to yearly subscriptions wouldn't accomplish much for me other than forcing me even deeper into the relationship (because now I am committed for at least a year instead of having the option to cancel on any given month), and inevitably I will forget to cancel if I don't want the service anymore and then be "dinged" for another years worth of subscription fees at some point.
Neat to see a RISC V laptop but they must be smoking crack if they think I’m paying $1500 for the privilege of recompiling my operating system really, really slowly. And the 5k option is outright predatory. Someone needs to protect the vulnerable enthusiast market (you know who I’m referring to) from this kind of pricing. Ask a fair price. It’s an $800 laptop, maxed out.
A more recent example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Schoolcraft

"Adrian Schoolcraft (born 1976) is a former New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer who secretly recorded police conversations from 2008 to 2009. He brought these tapes to NYPD investigators in October 2009 as evidence of corruption and wrongdoing within the department. The tapes were used as evidence of arrest quotas leading to police abuses such as wrongful arrests, and that emphasis on fighting crime sometimes resulted in under-reporting of crimes to artificially deflate CompStat numbers.

After voicing his concerns, Schoolcraft was repeatedly harassed by members of the NYPD and reassigned to a desk job. After he left work early one day, an ESU unit illegally entered his apartment, physically abducted him and forcibly admitted him to a psychiatric facility, where he was held against his will for six days.

Schoolcraft alleges in the lawsuit that NYPD spokesperson Paul Browne was present at the 31 October 2009 raid. Browne is a "top aide" to Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. According to the Village Voice: "If proven true, Browne's presence at Schoolcraft's home on Oct. 31, 2009 suggests that Commissioner Kelly was aware of the decision by Deputy Chief Michael Marino to order Schoolcraft handcuffed and dragged from his own apartment just three weeks after he reported police misconduct to the unit which audits NYPD crime statistics."

> In any competent firearms training you are trained to actually assess the threat first

Yes, this is true. I think it can be very easily assumed once a single officer opens fire at a moving vehicle the rest will assume a threat was assessed. The focus of this thread should clearly be on why the first officer perceived a threat this wrongly - not how many rounds were fired.

> and are absolutely not trained to magdump at the first vaguely-scary-looking thing

That's not what happened here.

> and then have no ammunition left for subsequent threats.

For anyone that has little or no firearms training - people almost never carry only a single magazine, particularly in a tactical environment (meaning you carry a gun for a living). These officers probably had 2 or 3 spare magazines on their person.
I wonder what the second-hand value of that brick is. It's the only hope I have for that one.
Honestly that's comparing apples and oranges. Also, that title is clickbait. It feels like a PR article disguised as a tech article.
> and people as a whole seem better off than they've been in a while...

Some people. The lower classes are definitely struggling a lot more recently, especially given the rental market going bonkers.
A more practical example of the added dimensionality of tensors is the addition of a batch dimension, so a 8 image batch per training step would be a (8, 256, 256, 3) tensor.

Tools such as PyTorch's DataLoader can efficiently collate multiple inputs into a batch.

It seems to me like the EU considers companies making their own proprietary phone charger connectors as “harmful”. So I’m having trouble understanding what you take issue with here.
Despite two quarters of negative GDP growth, the current justification for saying we are not currently in a recession is that the unemployment rate is so low.

The current stated goal of the Federal Reserve is to raise the unemployment rate from 3.7% to a target of 4.4%.

What you are remarking on as possibly a self-fulfilling prophecy is instead the result of official policy achieving its goal.
Without getting into a longwinded discussion of specifics, QI as a concept within the legal system has existed for quite a long time. The case you cite is where it was codified into an explict short-circuit that prevented the cases from being filed in the first place.

Not if you already have an Apple iPad or an Apple MacBook that's already USB-C.

> Now that the government itself is providing that outlet

Inflation adjusted nothing the government is selling is earning other than I-bonds (individual yearly buy limit of $15K). With Trump's energy output restriction deal with Saudi and others expiring inflation may slow, but the situation of gas in Europe over the winter seems poised to keep it up (CPI doesn't include energy directly, but it feeds back in).
On the opposite side of the country from you, but no issues to report. Get multiple Amazon deliveries each week and all are on time and delivered without issue.
I agree with you entirely, but I have to do so admitting the reality that not every environment or language is so capable. Don't get me wrong, I still think it sucks, because it breaks robust mechanisms of reuse and updating dependencies in favor of very fragile ones. I'm fighting the fight right now to at least capture these dependencies in the form of tooling rather than scaffolding. But when the language is inflexible and really demands deduplication rather than boilerplate, it becomes really difficult to make the case.

I don't think you know what the poison pill actually entailed or why it mattered.
The theory of moving to the cloud is that you get access to hyperscaler's vast economies of scale and 0 capital costs compared to on-prem. I've never thought of it as being cheaper in terms of capital, but more flexible in terms of scale and cheaper in terms of IT support required from your tech teams. The idea is that Amazon/Google/Microsoft has better devs and sysadmins than most businesses, so it makes sense that they handle that aspect of the business and you pay them to do it.

I'm not surprised that it's not cheaper, I'm more surprised that people thought that there would be magical costs savings popping up.
re-iterating what onion2k said, hard pass on building a company around an esoteric language. enjoy attempting to hire people to work on this. best case you get an eager programmer wanting to learn the language. worst case you get zero experienced hires unless you’re a massive success.
The Twitter mob is just as guilty of thinking they understand everything. I think the reaction to his tweet was completely over the top. While no one wants to see Russia win anything in this war, Musk was trying to find a middle ground where the total cost is less than the alternative. What is very important right now is buying time. The sanctions alone will destroy Russia and Putin's regime if they are kept in place long term. This finger needs to be taken off the big red button and the sanctions allowed more time to do their work. His people are already beginning to turn on him.

People sitting behind keyboards are always so courageous because they're insulated from reality. I don't think most people have a grasp on what a transcontinental nuclear war would look like in cold, hard reality. It would set the human race back hundreds of years. It seems to me that the pandemic and other world events in the last few years have really generated a suicidal hatred for authoritarianism across society in general. Putin should not win, but there are much better ways to make him lose than to sacrifice humanity.
It took me several re-readings to conclude that "them" and "they" at the end of this sentence are referring to different people!

I think what vkou is saying (and I agree) is that while there currently are some police in prison who have been convicted of crimes, the difficulty factor of convicting a police officer is much higher than the difficulty of convicting a normal person. If the same higher standard for obtaining a conviction was applied to everyone else, hardly anyone would be sent to prison.
