On a meta note, the ability to model/create these types of system dynamics on a computer is what I believe Alan Kay meant when talking about computational literacy. These types of systems don't lend themselves well to closed form analytic descriptions, and thus computer models are a medium that can be used by individual's/groups to better understand them.

Both the ability to read (ie look at other people's models and understand the underlying assumptions) and write (ie create your own simulations) is a 21st century need that is barely visible in the popular vision of computering for children (and adults). It's as if our current mathematics education focused on teaching the abacus instead of the much more powerful representation using Arabic numerals, which scales much better.

Absolutely, but you're reducing the risk of communicating with people who may be using the roman suffix without writing in Roman numerals. In that situation, you'd see 2M rather than MM.

The British billion went out in 1974/5 (Wilson/Healy). One billion is 1,000,000,000 and you shouldn't expect ambiguity there.

In practical terms, it doesn't matter. It'd be extremely unusual to be at the scale of the old billion (1,000,000,000,000)

This is similar to a justification of using `i` as the variable for an iterator, or `x` and `xs` for head & tail. There are logical reasons, but it's mostly convention.
> China does some horrific shit, but they never nuked anyone just for fun

To be fair the nuking wasn't for fun, it was to save hundreds of thousands of lives of their own soldiers (and the local civilians as an afterthought). China is currently at the late 19th early 20th century US stage, with infrastructure investments to further their business interests. Then they start taking over stuff because loans can't be paid off, start asking for preferential treatment, etc. We'll see how it goes, but yes, China today is a much less evil choice for a foreign benefactor, with some massive caveats though.

In many markets the prices are very close, once you factor in Airbnb's fees, cleaning services and local taxes/levies. Airbnb is most useful for non-traditional stays, like a cabin at the lake.

From your mouth to God's ears! The shawm is beautiful, and David Munrow was a genius whose suicide was a public as well as a private tragedy. But one of my favorite musical memories was of an amazing shawm player with the Newberry Consort — I have no idea who he was — who simply flooded the hall with brilliant, ringing tone, not a hint of stridency to it. It was unbelievable to me that the instrument I had up 'til then only ever heard played badly could sound so stunnning.

AirBnBs tend to employ people as well (cleaning, maintenannce, administration).

With many hotels the money is actually flowing out of the local community as the business is owned by a big multi-national. It's not really so cut and dried in favour of hotels.

It seems to me that it may be better in many cases to support exactly two configurations (or some other small fixed number). This way there is no need to wait until a new version is released and dropping the vulnerable one won't cause any downtime. Ideally both codepaths would be regularly exercised (maybe clients should pick randomly when both choices are available). Then as soon as a vulnerability is discovered (maybe even before it is publicly revealed) all clients and servers could immediately drop support for the one that was discovered vulnerable.

Then the release of a new configuration can be done slowly with reasonable caution to get back to the desired redundancy level.
I can totally understand why the Canon Cat was a flop. At the time it came onto the market, mouse-driven GUIs were largely seen as the thing of the future, and those didn't have to be explained: moving the mouse and clicking was like pointing your finger at the screen and tapping it directly. And then this weird thing with no GUI and no mouse comes along. Its UI may have been easy to use too, but it probably needed a lot of explaining and getting used to before you could internalize it, so only a few power users really made the effort to familiarize themselves with it.
Right, I agree with everything you say. To me that means the thought experiment was extremely valuable, because it generated a great refinement of our ontological ideas.
I'm curious about professionals who do actually productive work on a tablet or even phone format. The touch screen or color calibration can be helpful, but you could probably use the money spent on an iPad in getting those extra features for your desktop or laptop. If you are a remote worker on the move, having a mobile setup would be well worth it and perhaps your only option, but the experience of getting any work done seems so woeful.
One of the zoning fixes along the lines judge2020 mentioned is to remove the parking minimum requirements, which already forces a certain type of development onto cities.

Another is to remove zoning laws preventing secondary suites / in-law apartments / granny flats / etc. These also force a certain type of development onto cities.

Another fix - not so much zoning though - is to move to 10' lanes instead of 12'. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-10-06/why-12-fo... , which again forces a certain type of development onto cities.

After decades of existing forced development, it too easily becomes the baseline of what is "normal."
From a layman’s point of view, it seems like we grasping at straws when it comes to these thorny quantum questions. Is fair to say, for example, that we are about as clueless as our ancestors were with the bubonic plague?

There’s def web clients already out there. I’ve seen satchel, just haven’t come across an actively developed one.

Jssip is a neat library but not a client: https://jssip.net/

Twilio also has a web client.

The assumption seems to be that people only hire delivery companies who work unsociable hours.

Or you're supposed to have a car, but not where you live, and infrequently move large objects that way.

I don't really get it personally. I live in a city, fairly centrally, and moving stuff that wouldn't fit on my cargo bike is a weekly occurrence or more. Plywood sheets, furniture, exercise gear, that sort of thing.

I think it only works if you fully subscribe to the tiny apartment + everything is rented mentality, which just sounds like a really fragile dependency tree to me.
> Hotels are great.

You got to be kidding?

Last time I’ve used AirBnb it was a 1 bedroom half of the house, shady, private area with a creek, private yes - but in a walking distance to the downtown. I had a full kitchen, an office place to put my computer and monitor in and a personal, fast Internet connection. I even had a shed to put my bicycle in without a need to drag it into the house. The host configured the lock to be the last digits of my phone number - extremely convenient without a need to carry a piece of paper even to enter.

All that for a hundred dollars a day - same as nearby hotels where you get a crappy little room smelling of disinfectant, just a microwave and a small fridge, and my bike - last time I took my bike to a hotel it was stolen…

Ok, now I see that you’ve got me.

Tragic story, though I feel the headline quote is a little underselling the true horror, since the issue had previously been investigated and noted as needing improvements and then later deaths were (intentionally?) covered up by misfiling them.
This has definitely changed over time, the first few airbnbs I stayed in had actual hosts who were friendly and helpful but it's been a while since I've found anything that isn't just an empty apartment or the equivalent of a self-service boarding house.

As bad as this person's experience was, Airbnb fills a niche for me that I haven't seen anyone else compete in: larger (ideally detached) accommodations in non-vacation destinations. I have young children and having separate bedrooms is great when we're visiting family for example.
IDK, I see a lot of "non-production" code that likes to read whole files into a in-memory buffer rather than bothering with streaming. With modern memory sizes it is completely possible that you could read a 4GiB file into memory without having issues.

I think Booking.com expanding into camping would work fine in Europe, most campsites are busineses with a defined set of facilities that they offer.
Reviews of the hosts are already informally available in the reviews of the rooms and apartments. It's the number-one thing I look for when booking: the reviews should be raving about not only the place, but also the host. If this is not happening, or the reviews are mainly short and neutral, I don't book.

I did get tripped up despite this rule once, when I booked a private room in an apartment and arrived to find the host going on vacation. After he left, a massive mouse infestation stirred up by basement construction the prior week surfaced, and I escaped down several flights of stairs in the dark surrounded by a cacophony of squeaking in the walls. I think a mouse ran over my foot. I have mostly stayed in hotels since.

But I've had many wonderful Airbnb experiences in the past, and I do believe my one terrible experience was an outlier (albeit traumatic). I would have started using it again, but high-quality Airbnb listings exceeded hotels in price in my country, so I stick with hotels, especially since I earned status with some programs.
What can be proved about past games performed in less-than-fully-stringent conditions is beside the point.

As far as I am concerned, once Niemann has passed all the tests his accusers can come up with, he would be vindicated, and they would be subject to opprobrium - it would be a vindication unavailable even through a successful libel suit. There's no infinite regress of suspicion in this view.
There's no good reason AirBnb could not offer proper support. Showing contempt for your customers like this is a choice.

That’s a different city (where I live) In my city, the city administration has instructed police not to pursue certain offenses. The DA in my county has to please suburban voters as well, so he projects a little tougher.

Typically, it’s difficult to prosecute things like muggings or car theft.

So using lesser acts that are easily demonstrated is a more scalable process. If you’re in my garage, charging you with trespass and petit larceny will get plead out as trespass. If you have to go to trial for the theft, you need to establish that the property was there, etc. That means witnesses, testimony, etc.

These issues are nuanced. I don’t want to see my neighbors abused by out of control police. But letting criminals run wild isn as bad as letting police run around without accountability. Conservative politicians used to bleat about “the rule of law”. Law requires justice, and that means police and prosecutors must be held to a high standard of conduct and competence.

I'm sorry that I was not making points that support your feelings on Copilot. I was purely discussing the legality of the models themselves, which is what the commenter I was responding to was worried about.

But sure, let's talk about outputs as well. From the second source we can see this from Tyler Ochoa:

"If there's only one good way to do it, OK, then that's probably not eligible for copyright. But chances are that there's just a lot of code in [the training data] that has used the same open source solution, and that the output is going to look very similar to that. And that's just copying."

I have seen some probable copyright violations from the output of Copilot, such as comments and some certain structural similarities that might be protected, although it is hard to say. But focus on the first part of what Mr. Ochoa is saying here, which is also laid out in this quote:

“In computer programs, concerns for efficiency may limit the possible ways to achieve a particular function, making a particular expression necessary to achieving the idea. In this case, the expression is not protected by copyright."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction-Filtration-Compari...

This allows for verbatim copies if they are utilitarian in nature!

As for why we should allow verbatim copies of utilitarian features... First, let's preface this with the substantial similarity of the structure, sequence and organization as established in Whelan v. Jaslow which amongst other things says that you cannot merely change the variable names if the expressive structure of the code remains the same. Now let's imagine 10,000 software developers who all implement Dijkstra's algorithm in C and then run it through clang-format. Aside from variable names, isn't it safe to assume that many of the implementations are going to be exactly the same?

As for why it was carefully selected... more often than not when I bring these things up people who feel upset about Copilot go off to cherry-pick some random quote out of context in order to support their upset feelings. Therefore I'm highlighting the important parts as to help people look beyond their upset feelings.

This is a complicated and nuanced matter. Attempting to channel everything through the lens of "this makes me personally feel bad and must be completely wrong" does not help the discourse. It may make you popular to a certain crowd but it might be unpopular to the public at large and it might also be incoherent from a legal standpoint, akin to bashing your head against a wall at a weekly meetup of the local heads-bashing-against-walls club.

There is plenty of room for discussion on what constitutes not only the legal interpretation of fair use and the idea/expression dichotomy but also the bigger picture. The knife always cuts both ways. Would it be acceptable to the open-source community if Microsoft could stop anyone from publishing Dijkstra's algorithm in C# because they wrote it first?
Not hard to fake at all. Here are some of the ways

- Large friends and family network, rotate through other peoples homes

- Own a series of apartment buildings, rotate through addresses

- Unoccupied buildings with accessible mail drops (pick up mail from outside)

Similar tricks exist for non-residential address requirements.

You are right about Microsoft, and what you're describing is also exactly what Google is doing (threatening to cancel Play Store licensing, while Play Store is the dominant licensable app store).

Google is already sued for that, but the sailant point to me is that it took so much time, and it's far from a clear cut case.

We are way past the point where Apple, Google and Amazon abused their position in provable ways, but they got left alone for so long by the regulators it's disgusting.

PS: the definition of a monopoly comes down to the definition of the market. If we were playing games, Microsoft wasn't a monopoy when looking a computing platforms in general, for instance, it was "only" on the PC home market. Apple has a monopoly under many framings, now it comes down to wether a judge agrees or just kicks away Apple opponents.
Falsification is hard work, and rarely reaches a tidy end point. Even now, according to Curceanu, Roger Penrose — who was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on general relativity — is working on a version of the Diósi-Penrose model in which there’s no spontaneous radiation at all.

It's incredible how influential Penrose has been for such a long time, and continues to be. As far as I can tell (I'm interested but far from an expert) very few theorists are coming up with genuinely testable ideas in this area.

No need to be sorry. The flip side is that Eastern Europe is actually cheaper than the West (though perhaps less cheap than the West might think). So while a local salary here is not great, getting a Big Tech salary in Eastern Europe is even more of a win than it is in Silicon Valley.

Not sure if I'm missing something here, but the "access contacts" permission exists for a reason, and plenty of apps use it - how can it be justified that Google will arbitrarily ban this app, but allow others, even though the authors in this case are clearly willing to do anything to prove no bad intent?

I think that all of those examples are AHJs imposing restrictions on themselves, rather than someone else imposing restrictions on them from outside/containment.

I have no problem with cities imposing restrictions on cities, as that is amenable to democratic review by the voters in that city. Having a national imposition on a city would be objectionable to me on principle (and in the US, would very likely violate the 10th Amendment).

AHJ - authorities having jurisdiction, basically "whoever sets and enforces the codes"
