It can be. The Obama and Trump administrations definitely installed captive individuals. Appointment can, and probably should be, taken away. We don't need an FCC that flies by the whims of an administration. There's a lot of agencies that statement applies to though. The downside of such a take is that agencies are inherently derivative of the powers Congress gives them, so offering the president appointments is really their attempt to balance power between the branches.

The real root cause is that presidents are often working hand in hand with Congress and who is really shut out is the people because Congress, regardless of the party in power, often does not reflect the will of the people.

Also, kinda odd you're daydreaming about lobbing people's heads off. Maybe don't do that.

The just a wee bit pedantic. In my position, I control my employees' salaries (within guidelines). But, if I want to add headcount I need to make my case to my VP or higher. I suppose I could fire 5 seniors developers and hire 10 junior developers with the freed up budget, but I definitely cannot conjure up the $200k+ required to hire an additional employee without approval from my boss or his boss.
Someone who knows more about probability say more. Is expectation the right thing to talk about here? I never heard it said explicitly, but if you're talking about expectation, there's some underlying idea that you're going to do the thing many times and add/average the results, right?
I agree with both of your points. The gaps in knowledge become a real problem if the user has lost their sense of location, which happens surprisingly easily. If your egress route is straight-forward (e.g. head west, no hazards on route), it's easier to recover. But there are lots of skills that need practice or instruction - triangulation, aiming-off, taking a bearing, back-bearing, declination setting, heck even reading your altitude.

Add panic because you're lost and losing daylight, and you're in a pickle.
Yeah, definitely. It's more starkly clear with Copilot, where you can point to verbatim reproduction of code. And it probably helps Stable Diffusion that images are fuzzier, so you're less likely to generate something that's close enough to be a copyright violation, but there's really no way to be certain that your output is not a memorized training example, even if it's statistically very unlikely.

The Register might not be to your taste, but some of us find it a refreshingly irreverent and amusing read. Anyway they are getting some stick for becoming too corporate and bland at the moment which just goes to show how difficult it is to make people happy.
I always held the opinion that GPL etc was a copy-left license that was intended to make sure the code was free (free as in freedom not as in beer). That in an ideal world you wouldn't need the GPL or any licenses at all. At this point I really don't care what co-pilot or any of its derivatives result in and I think in the not too distant future we will have machine code to readable code translation which will enable more freedom. That is, it really won't matter if the code is compiled or not, when you can "AI decompile" it into human readable code, do your modifications, and then do with it what you will.

From that view let the data be free.
Or they could dedicate years and be good (or great!) and still not unique.

In fact, the better they get the less likely they are to be unique as more people will imitate their style.

Why do you have a "documented pipeline" for your laptop?

And I never bother keeping notes, I just back it up so that the whole thing is recoverable.
Maybe a reciprocity rule is what we need: ban foreign companies from operating in the US whenever an equivalent US company wouldn't be allowed to do the exact same thing in the foreign country.
I think we should separate the concerns being raised:

- If the FCC is concerned with how user data is handled, great! But instead of ad-hoc bans on specific companies, let's introduce some rules or laws which apply across the board. This both removes the appearance of a targeted and capricious ban on a Chinese company (which this seems like), and set clear rules of the road going forward.

- If the FCC is concerned with non-transparent manipulation of political speech or pushing perspectives preferred by foreign governments, that's great! It's a little weird and late to focus on China given that it seems we haven't really addressed the documented Russian interference, but sure. Again, let's have a somewhat more systematic approach than just 'ban TikTok', because of course there will be other avenues.
Which argument, which articles - be specific. AI content is not copyrightable at this stage. Drawing styles are not copyrightable. Name calling and labeling are ad-hominem attacks however and that has no place on HN.
If you removed it from the app stores, a humungous percentage of people would no longer install the app. There will certainly be some tech literate folks who do so, but most people have very little tolerance for technical challenges outside of the norm and would stop at, it's not in the app store anymore.

Does whether they're good or not actually have any bearing on the legality or morality of copying their work?
I think when it comes to art, less than one-to-one clones are often still functionally equivalent in the mind of many viewers. Stylistic and thematic content is often just as, if not more, important than the exact composition. But currently the law does agree that this is not copyrightable. And sometimes independent artists profit and make a name for themselves copping other styles, and I think that's great.

But could it be considered an intellectual and sociological denial-of-service attack when it's scaled to the point where a machine can crank out dozens of derivative works per minute? I'm not sure this is a situation at all comparable to human artists making derivative works. Those involve long periods of concentration, focus, and reflection by a conscious human agent to pull off, thus in some sense furthering to the intellectual development of humanity and fostering a deeper appreciation for the source work. The machine does none of that; it's sort of just a photocopier one step removed in hyperspace, copying some of the artists' abstractions instead of their brush strokes.
Yeah, I understood that, I just enjoy talking about the contrast between F9 and FH and how F9 improved so much that it mostly took over FH's market :P

It's actually capitalism that has stagnated scientific progress. Initially capitalism revolutionizes production by liberating it from the backwardness of feudalism, establishing division of labor, science over church, automation, etc.

But after a long process of development, capitalism becomes a fetter on scientific discovery. It requires a permanent underclass which is never able to develop their talents. So most humans are trapped doing repetitive and mind-numbing work. Like Stephen Jay Gould said of Einstein there's a:
"near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops"

Also capitalism is generally focused on short term profit rather than projecting long term social needs. This is a major reason we're sprinting toward climate catastrophe when the technology exists to overcome it. Capitalism cannot put the resources and manpower available to work solving the glaring needs of our time. This is the main reason there is scientific (also cultural) stagnation.

Or perhaps because knowing/reasoning about at least some properties before running a program is a good thing? Optimisation is only one consequence of static types. Perhaps the reason is that static type systems are getting better and less intrusive.
I've had a couple times recently where I've been curious whether Android usb-gadget support is exposed to devs at all.

Huge props to the dev. Looks very well done. Huge passion here. Great initiative. Alas that stock Android is so hampered, offers so little to consumers. For their safety of course!

Are you implying that Chinese nationalism prevents the collaboration? Look into why China is not part of ISS, despite its desire to join. Spoiler: the US has blocked it. It's a small miracle that Russia is part of ISS, not in small part because the US wanted to get cheap access to the Soviet Mir-based technology and expertise.
> For example, apparently checking the return status of an arbitrary command is not trivial

You mean the fact that it gets put into the $LASTEXITCODE variable instead of putting the command directly into the conditional?
Nationalism, any forms of it are evil. There is no "benign nationalism" that is just people being proud for their country or whatever. It all leads to sorrow and, ultimately, destruction. Paraphrasing Voltaire, we should squash it. It is not beneficial and people can absolutely "reach for the stars" in all senses of it without nationalism. The only thing nationalism, in any form, moderate or extreme, is good for is for a small group of people (government, etc.) controlling a larger group of people (country's population) by irrational means.

Unfortunately, we won't see anti-nationalism coming to the same level as atheism even in our lifetimes. When I express this kind of view even the more liberal people in my circle say this is too extreme.

I am not advocating for any kind of anarchism, or saying government is bad. Nationalism is.
In that case another option may be setting up a couple of VM's or physical servers in an edge zone of your network and use an open source VPN. The latest popular solution is Wireguard. There are some github repos that have examples of how to set that up for mobile roaming devices. The downside of these solutions is that they trust keys bound to a device vs having per-person authentication but one could always have additional controls just past the VPN.

Another thing I have seen people pushing here lately is tailscale, though I am not a fan of cloud solutions for remote access. As the company grows that would have to be factored into 3rd party controls and I am personally too lazy and like to keep audits short and sweet.

A smaller and more old school solution is to have a hardened SSH bastion and do port forwarding through it. This is very unpopular among developers though and that machine must be kept up to date and ideally have mandatory access controls such as SELinux or Apparmor enforcing policies.
If only we could put down our differences and use the Flat UI color scheme.

> Especially if it's run as a government monopoly.

It's a state-run government monopoly. The federal government taxes the winnings, but can't tax the state revenue, as state and local government are tax exempt. The company that runs the lottery is taxable, of course, but they're (hopefully) not getting the lions share of the house edge. I know California doesn't charge their income tax on winnings from their lottery though.

The problem with tax minimization on lottery winnings is that you need to do the work before the tickets are valuable. If you make a habit of buying your lottery tickets in a tax advantaged account, then ok; but if you try to move it after it's a winning ticket, that's not going to work well.

In other news... Tcp/IP with an always on connection only makes nodes venerable to constant bombardment from any 3rd world country.

No TCP/IP means no 3rd world access. Modern domestic protocols keep jurisdictions relevant, with regulation mostly being 100% domestic. Tcp/IP will always exist, but is not a 21st century choice as a primary domestic networking protocol.

Duh.. Would have been so cliche (infrastructure is national security).

No spam.. No robocalls... No ransomware.. No malware.. Domestic access layers can be expressed in plain english, in much the same way speedlimits are on domestic roadways.

The data on the data network (not quite intranet) will still be quality data with domestic networks/protocols. Good news travels fast.
There is no fix, it's human nature. Most people are rational and balanced and willing to hear the opinions of others. And until recently the only way to have an interactive conversion was in person, or one on one remotely. Only very recently has the public square moved online.

And being online gives people protection to say what they really think without fear of repercussions from others.

The only way to fix it is to move discussion of heated topics to being in person only. But this will never happen.

But Twitter could easily fix this with technology -- all they have to do is go back to your feed being a chronological list of the tweets from people you follow. Or create two feeds -- one that is heavily moderated and has advertising, and one that is unmoderated with no ads.

Of course they won't do either one, because it lowers engagement with advertising, which is how they make money. And that makes sense, they are a for profit company. They are optimizing for their customers, the advertisers.
That could be said of anything one does with a computer. The point is that if it's stored locally YOU have responsiblity over it, rather than trusting to some other party to hopefully protect it (and not sell it or expose it or what-have-you).
