Well it looks as though some actors such as Bruce Willis have already signed away their deepfake likeness and/or style, however you'd want to call it. Maybe additional legal concepts are not far behind? There was a time when copyright did not exist at all. It came into being because there was a need for it.

Reddit-style argumentation about the literal aspect of the law is missing the point altogether. These new services are barely a few months old (or at least publicly available) and it remains to be seen how society will react. How can there even be case law if there is literally not enough time for it to appear?

The salient fact is that the living conditions of many artists is going to degrade. If you do not believe that or do not care about it, then we can agree to disagree, but personally I think it would be better to alleviate that problem in some way and to nudge the law towards supporting this.
Unfortunately NASA has really tightened the hatches as of late, so I'm not aware of any. :(

In almost every company where I work with (with the exception of big companies) I am always the go to person for JS tooling related.

I don't want to do that work but I guess the knowledge compounds, knowledge about intricacies of various JS tools and how they relate to one another, and no one else want to do it.

The amount of customization that can happen in JS world makes scaffolding tool really hard.

The show-runners would exercise some creative license, and we'd end up with things like o(n) being worse than o(n!) in the show, but not in the book. Even worse now that there's a video version of the classic - it's deviations from the text would start to be seen as "the better one" and the software bloat problem would dramatically intensify worldwide as everyone rearranged their algorithms.
Or if you count in another way. In one second, how many pictures it will be able to generate, with these parameters. It could be 1.05, 1.1, or say 1.5 or even 2 pictures. Thank you very much for your post! I will be very grateful for the answer!

> if there was supposed to be video and there isn't...

You're assuming that malice is the reason why there isn't video footage if there was supposed to be. I think that's a fair assumption, and I think that this is most likely the case.

But it's not necessarily the case. It is possible that negligence or incompetence is the reason the cameras weren't recording. The whole thing sounds like a murder to me, and I assume the video footage was deliberately disabled/destroyed/lost/etc. But at this stage I don't think anybody can be certain of that. There is only circumstantial evidence for somebody preventing/destroying the video footage.
I genuinely think Tesla's done good work in the field despite all transactions it does being voluntary.
2 & 3] So, the students now bear the risk/burden of their training costs, where in the past they were heavily subsidized by the University capping costs ($400), the fed paying what remained (made fees free), and in some cases the company taking on an obligation to hire (cadetship).

5] Spot the strawman. How are students entitled when they are the ones paying tuition and shouldering risk of failure, while institutions in return offer no obligation to train (university), no obligation to hire (company), and no escape from debt (fed)?

Again, I'm glad your experience worked out well, and I'm glad we agree that the conditions students operate in today are materially different. You certainly have the option of throwing up your hands at the entitlement of the youths, but it seems to me that the entitlement here is on the part of institutions that now expect access to a highly trained workforce with no part in supporting the training.

If your goal is that only a small percentage of the population be highly competent in their field, then by all means support the norm that only a small percentage of the population be supported in training.

(edit: additional comments below)

I'd like to reiterate that I am not advocating for lowering standards here. I want a highly competent workforce, in and out of the medical field. At no point have I asked that students be given unearned passing grades. What I am asking for is that students be supported, financially and otherwise, in their attempts to learn and earn passing grades.
ooooh yup that'll do it, thanks!

>When something happens, conveniently the video footage that should exist, magically doesn't.

IMO LAPD is actually pretty good about using body cams when they're supposed to. Way better than LASD and other law enforcement agencies in the area. In California they're required to release footage (if it exists) after every OIS (officer involved shooting) or LERI (law enforcement something injury, like if a cop hurts someone without shooting them via tazing/dog/baton/bean bag/punches).

If you look at their Youtube channel [1] pretty much every OIS and LERI video does have body cam and/or dashcam footage. The events that don't are mostly compliant with their policy (although it sounds like their policy should be amended to include training activities. Both for safety and to make the training more realistic). When I looked at a sampling of 30 LAPD incidents, 28 of them had body cam footage recording during the incident. The two that didn't involved off-duty officers[2]

It's the only way we know of to stop greed/fomo running rampant. Folks need to be put in a time-out to cool off and force them to reprioritize. We like to think of the market as this calculated and rational entity. It's far from that, in fact it's closer to the opposite of that. The other option is to do price control, but that won't fly in capitalism.

My understanding is it gives them an IPv6 address, but that does not mean they have internet access unless there is a hub that connects between the two.

There's no WiFi, they use Zigbee behind the scenes, what changed is that they are addressed via IP, but it's still a strictly local network.
That's like saying that C++ is a better backend platform than the JVM due to better performance. For 95% of business web apps out there it doesn't matter, I mean, multiple business with evaluations in the billions of dollars have been created with runtimes 50x slower than nodejs.

Nodejs competes with Java in single threaded performance, I'll say normal JS code is faster than normal Java code. For web services that are IO bound, nodejs still competes with Java unless you go with all the batshit crazy complex reactive stuff in the Java world, supposedly is going to get better with the new green threads implementation.

While I agree that we shouldn't lower the standards of the MD process I am not convinced that proficiency at organic chemistry is predictive of physician quality.

If you’re interested in reading them (and they are extremely readable), you should first know something (not everything) about programming and discrete mathematics. If you watched some YouTube videos on logic, sets, graphs, etc. you’ll be more than equipped. Knuth has even written a book, Concrete Mathematics, that covers these pre-requisites but it might be faster and easier to watch a Khan Academy video!
That’s bullshit and you claim has no data. Which what I call targeting an entire class of nation & people. Yes - you’re racist and bigoted.
So this is just a case of "I'm glibly dismissing the question."
Were those contracts you got ever listed or advertised more publicly as jobs? Or were these more opportunistic finds for these companies when they got connected to you?
Anyone know what set the 4 alleged rapists are in, if any? Has there been any public speculation on the possibility of either the alleged rapists or the cops who beat this guy being in a gang?
Not if you're still making money off of the work. But if you're not making money off of it, it's an incentive to let the copyright expire. Corporations might sit on things that they're not making money off of in order to try to make money off of them later, but they'd be limited to 50 years, which is a vast improvement.
The 1st Chapter is one of the best mathematical discussions I've ever read, bar none. But hardcore math isn't needed for most of us programmers. Knuth knows this.

I suggest skipping around on an "as needed" basis.

Try Volume 1, Section 2.2 "Linear Lists", as a starting point. I promise you its an easier read than you expect. Despite being relatively easy material, you will probably learn something about arrays with just maybe ~3 or ~4 pages worth of reading material.

Start at the start of Section 2.2. Maybe work your way backwards to Section 2.1 as you realize its not as hard as you think (so you start at the "proper" starting point). And then go on from there.

Its really basic stuff. But hitting "rock bottom" on the subject of arrays, stacks, queues, and such is fascinating.

This seems like a classic case of correlation vs causation (I only skimmed the abstract). Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into another tabloid article.
If all they do is connect to the hub and then the hub controls all external access then that's fine. I'm just unclear as to why there is so much talk about IPv6/cloud/TCP/UDP for something that is only talking to a local hub. I mean I totally get you can use all of that (save for "cloud") 100% locally but if that were the case I'd expect more mention of that. I'm ok with using wifi-adjacent for communication, internally but I do not all my "thread" devices to have internet access (local or external).

I wish I'd had a floppy drive when I got my first computer but the first one wasn't available yet. My first software had to be typed in from listings in computer magazines. A few weeks later I got an audio cassette recorder that could be used to save and load programs at 1500 baud. That was all I had for my first year of computer ownership before my first 5.25 inch floppy drive.
> Matter lets devices communicate with bridges and controllers locally, which means that your smart home will still work when the internet goes down, and some devices may still have basic functionality even if they lose their cloud connection because the device maker goes out of business.

While I'm glad perfect did not become the enemy of the good and we actually have a standard now, I hope the consortium doesn't stop here, and keeps moving toward more vendor-agnostic, consumer-friendly standards.

> Originally, Matter was supposed to handle enough elements of provisioning and functionality so users wouldn’t have to download an app. In most cases, users will still need to do so.

While I also hope Matter doesn't turn into USB-IF ("Matter 3.1 Gen 2 SuperSpeed"), some clear evolutions or optional certifications (especially something for long-term, in-case-they-fold functionality) would be good to see them working toward.
No, you can trust the government. This kind of thing never happens.

Sure, but when I had my radio stolen back in the day, police officer politely notified me that they know who generally breaks into cars to steal radios in my area, but unless it was reported in an hour or two, they won't be able to get it before it's resold or pin it on the culprit, so unless I need it for insurance, I shouldn't even bother reporting.

In cases like these, insurance mostly needs a paper trail, and police are very well aware of that, and they won't look for specifics. They'll probably even suggest what to fill in: that's at least my experience.

I feel for your experience though, and I wish you your car back on the road asap.
I did use SSI some. My impression at the time was that cheap hosts that rolled out Apache services and had SSI enabled also generally had PHP enabled and PHP was the "better" choice at that point because it was both more powerful and more portable given Apache's SSI was unique to it and not supported by other hosts (then or now).
I'm the manager for the team that owns our code host integrations. You're correct that we support non-git code hosts via a conversion to git.

We're currently exploring what it means to support non-git VCSs natively in Sourcegraph, but we're not there yet.

The penalty for false accusations is something pathetic, like 1 year.
The current type of AI art is less than a year old, so no person can have more than a year of experience, at most. Most artists spend years and years developing their craft, and it involves daily deliberate multi-sensory practice. By comparison, all a prompter has to do is play around with types of words and iterate over a few weeks. Yes, they might need some eye for detail or composition or some intuition with the sort of words that could work, but since the AI is a blackbox anyway it cannot logically be much more but throwing mud and finding what sticks.

Something that is very hard to measure WRT unemployment is the number of people that dropped out of the workforce during COVID. There's also poor reporting on underemployment. I'm not saying that to say the US is just going to drop into a recession or something, it's just unemployment numbers have always been very loose figures.

We could have low unemployment but high underemployment and end up with a similar softening of consumer demand just because people don't have the discretionary income to buy stuff. Underemployment combined with inflation is extra painful.
The story is being redundantly posted every few minutes for the past two hours.

We're also heading into the holiday season, and notably "Open Enrollment" for health insurance, which is titanic industry who typically freezes their code in September. Lots of companies slack off or halt their hiring, particularly health insurance during this period.

And also all the inflation and recession action going on.

So it's likely a combination of the two.

A couple of months ago there was a discussion on r/rust about why the standard library doesn't include a semaphore and I mentioned that it's a deceivingly difficult synchronization primitive to safely model in a rusty way. I ended up nerd-sniping myself into trying anyway [0], [1] and decided to share a writeup with some of the issues I ran into trying to come up with a safe and no/low-cost rusty interface for a semaphore.

It ended up being a great example of some of the things I love about the rust ecosystem (though it did also reveal some of the weaknesses of the rust ro^rw borrow semantics) in terms of the thought and care it takes to make an api that's resistant to misuse but still (hopefully) ergonomic.
