Trying to take a strong form of OPs position, one obvious line would be the automation and mass reproduction aspects, in addition to how much unique creativity you specifically added to the process.

It gets of course harrier because what happens to experts in the field who are able to do that and then just use this as a boosting tool. Still, I don’t think copyright law has clear bright lines so much, but more guidance that the courts just try to muddle through as best they can. Certainly one can make an argument that just stealing an artists style like this could be considered a copyright violation, just like sampling even a few seconds of someone else’s track can be in music.

Again, not saying these are net good for society, but clearly existing copyright laws do try to take this tack. I think the one thing working against her favor is that a) early days so laws haven’t caught up b) us laws generally favor corporate interests over individuals so she might never get any relief even if deeper pockets start to protect themselves as this becomes a bigger problem for them.
For product reviews, I just use YouTube now. At least there I can be sure that the reviewer has actually used the product since its right there in the video.
>It's a bit like saying we can't stop music piracy, now that Napster exists.

Trivially, you still can't. Lawbreaking when it comes to copyright is enabled at scale by computers (like everything else); so unless you manage to win the war on general-purpose computing there's nothing you can do.

Sure, streaming has taken the place of piracy (growing the pie is better than strict conservatism), and Patreon (and its offshoots) has made it possible to be paid for recurring content that's inevitably going to be pirated, but file-sharing (torrents) and alt.binaries (abusing free storage sites as a backend for streaming video) still work just as well as they ever did.

The only reason people pay for content is that they want to, provided the price isn't usurious or infinite ("not sold in your region"); those that continue to work with said want prosper, those that fight it fail, and that's just the way it is.
They list roles such as "Junior iOS Engineer" and "Head of Computer Vision": I imagine the low end applies to the former, and the high end to the latter (note that the market rates for Portugal also align with the lower bound).

Some of their job postings have tighter ranges (I only looked at two: one had no range, another had a tighter range), but the high end simply indicates that they are willing to pay for a great remote candidate regardless of the Portuguese market rates.

Ultimately, I do agree that a join of all the salary ranges for different positions is useless (you could include a janitor and CEO to make that $15k-$400k to make it even less useful).
Technically true, but I think the comment you're replying to was thinking of the era when celebrities had to go on late night shows in order for people to hear what they had to say. Like literally, the middle man had limited airtime and got to pick and choose who was allowed to be broadcast.

If you had some opinions on the latest whatever, if no television station felt like interviewing you, you just told it to your friends or whatever like everybody else. No matter how famous you were.
Computers aren't people. Software isn't humans.
That seems like a silly way to look at those numbers. It doesn't matter particularly how much stuff we make if the stuff we make is slowly creating an existential crisis for our species. The argument that 'well other people do it too' is an excellent way to make sure that nobody ever cuts carbon emissions. Someone has to be first, and the richest nation on earth is probably a great place to start.
We have compostable bin pickup twice a week in my hometown in Italy, a ton of things are compostable with industrial composters these days which you could not easily compost at home, also thanks to regulations (e.g. shopping bags, tea bags, some food packaging etc), so the other bins stay pretty empty.
The article does indeed mention:

> (And although the Python test script could run in multiple processes HammerDB is an application simulating multiple virtual users in a GUI and CLI environment requiring the close interaction and control of using multiple threads).
While that does occasionally happen in the US as well, it's illegal (both general strikes and sympathy strikes were banned by Taft-Hartley).
Hi @mradek. This ejabberd system was around 10 years ago, before websockets. Haven't built a chat system since but Channels would be perfect for it, especially in a multi platform context. If not I'd go simple and just use LiveView on the front and pubsub on the back.

The ejabberd system was great at the time but lacked flexibility. But I think we saved at least 3 months of dev thanks to it.

I see you are using 3 languages, that's a lot of things to coordinate and keep in the brain. May I ask why you use node for the rest API and not elixir ? That would simplify things a lot.

Ironically, the high salaries the software industries is able to pay is precisely because of the copyright protection afforded that prevents the value of the software from being diluted by way of rampant copying.

This is also the same reason due to which open source projects often struggle with funding, and why many databases (among other OSS software) are moving towards stricter licenses such as the AGPL.
Presentation is typically signed with a proof, e.g. of possession of the private key.

It also includes elements in the request for a presentation - a non-repeating nonce and the domain to make it an interactive challenge.

The ability to prevent MITM depends on how well the wallet/protocol does web domain binding.

Is this what Grothendieck specialized in? I remember reading an article about how it was applied by NSA to break encryption. I tried reading then about how that was done but at most it seems like its one abstraction layer above the model itself and so you can step around things, maybe.
I don't think the problems are inherent to the internet... sadly I think they are inherent to human beings.

Twitter by design exacerbates a lot of these problems though IMO. Character limits, the way replies work and things are displayed such as to make any particularly active comment section practically impossible to follow, etc

EDIT: I do actually genuinely hope that Twitter dies, but I am scared that is a monkey paw where whatever the next thing happens to be it ends up being worse

Not "believe in democracy" for this political subculture often means endorsing the revival of monarchy, which is what Curtis Yarvin supports. Many adherents have read Hoppe's Democracy: The God That Failed, which is somewhat of a seminal work on that thesis:

Thanks for checking out my blog!

I'm using Daylio for my mood journal. It's private. I use it every day, sometimes multiple times per day. (I _always_ use it when a significant emotional event happens.)

I love it because I can explicitly pick my mood based on five options (rad, good, meh, bad, awful), can create and pick unlimited additional identifiers to associate with each journal entry, and can see reports showing me not only my average mood for the month/year but also which identifiers corresponded to what mood.

Example. I slept well today, felt really good, wrote code, spent time with my wife and worked out. So in my entry today I picked the "Good" mood (internally a 4/5), then picked the "good sleep", "home", "sunny", "time together", and "wrote code" identifiers. I also have a custom identifier called "do i need alone time" wherein I can pick how badly I need it on a scale of 0-2. I didn't feel like I needed time alone, so I picked "0". Then I wrote my entry.

At the end of the month, Daylio will send a push asking me if I want to see how I did this month. In that report, I'll be able to see a line graph of my mood along with the number of times I selected identifiers like "good sleep" or "time together", in descending order.

It would be REALLY powerful to connect these entries to Apple Health, as I track my sleep and what I eat. This would answer questions like "how does my mood change when I cut carbs to 150g/day max and 1800 cals/day max? how long does it take for changes to set in?" or "how does my mood affect how much I can push it in the gym, or vice versa?"

For my work journal, I track that in Git and have Alfred shortcuts to make that easy.

I also track weekly goals at https://retrospectives.carlosnunez.me.
From my point of view, the comparison to object oriented code is to compare how abstractions hold over time and over changes of features naturally.

OO requires the programmer to make assumptions that create a maintenance burden.
Elixir/Erlang organizes its code with modules, which leaves it less burdened by the constraints of OO. Consider the module system like a tree. You import functions that are wrapped in a module and just call them. Concurrency is baked in so cleanly that you only write single threaded code inside of a process.

Reducing the argument down to not having deadlines and not being used for "real" purposes is a bit reductionist and misses the point.
Hmm... If all of humanity would be better off as you say, then then why should the royal we have have to deal with racist voters? Or racist people going about free in public at all?

They only believe this because this won't (immediately) affect their material prospects.
The big deal is that now I can copy someone's style in less than 30 minutes and it doesn't require the intermediance of any professional artist. That was a major source of friction that was just uplifted. Not even mentioning that I can generate tons of samples in a matter of minutes. There are so many differences here that I can't imagine how you can be asking this question.
A lot of news is extremely hard to avoid and I’ll inevitably be exposed to it. If it seems important like the types of topics you’re describing, I’ll carve out some time to find out if it’s actually important.

Most of it is a spectacle and my actions and point of view are entirely irrelevant to it. Frankly, I don’t believe a lot of the news is even rooted in reality. To have a point of view on it, or to have feelings about it, would be to lend legitimacy to something I sincerely believe is part of a bizarre, performative, ephemeral blob of social invention. I don’t mean to sound absurd or like a conspiracy theorist at all; I really can’t see how much of what’s in the media is remotely objective or connected to any kind of shared reality that is practical and sane.

As far as being embarrassed, I find I can get by with simply listening to people and letting them get their ideas across. They like to express themselves and I’m content to listen. I typically won’t be embarrassed because no one really cares what I think or what I think I know, too. No one asks unless I say something in the first place.

I think we’re encouraged to believe it’s some other way, but if you keep to yourself you’ll find very quickly that indeed, almost no one cares. Even here on hacker news, the vast majority of readers don’t care about what I wrote. It’s irrelevant to them, and that’s okay. It’s probably a good thing.

The only people in my tiny corner of all of this who have any remote concerns about me are right here, near me, in my life. The rest is mostly a spectacle. If it can effect me, the chances that I can effect it in any meaningful way are infinitely tiny.

I do vote, too, but again… I’m not convinced it means what people think it means, or that it leads to things I hope it will. On the other hand, by working on local concerns I can actually make a difference. The changes we can make like restoring a watershed to improve wildlife diversity, reduce erosion, improve runoff capacity, and so on can be a real model for improving these features of other municipalities. That can matter many times more than a vote for the leader of my country; it can lead to real data that people turn to improve the places they live in. It seems totally uninteresting and pointless compared to the notion of democracy and national governance, but from my point of view, it’s far more pragmatic and connected to reality.

I agree with you overall. I want to be aware of contentious issues on which I might have a side or a stake too. I think the difference between us is only that I think the scope of these issues is extremely small; there’s very little I come across in my day where it truly matters at all what I believe, and any stake I may have is almost exclusively relevant to me alone.
I've wondered about this as well. I remembered there were tons of news last year or so when their re-entry was "uncontrolled" and could potentially fall on populated areas. The news outlets made an absolute story out of that one, but barely any news about the station itself. I wonder if this is because there isn't enough info provided from the Chinese side in the first place, or if the (Western) news outlets just don't care.
>The issue is mostly that it’s presumably cheap to fix unlike a billion cows all farting.

It's even cheaper to fix the farting cows: Just stop raising cows.

Of course, if you want to supplement beef and dairy products, it's not that easy. But if we would believe that global warming and methane were a problem, we could make a difference within weeks.

NLRB GC on Unlawful Electronic Surveillance and Automated Management Practices
There's a lot of space needed in an apartment for "overhead" stuff: kitchen sink/counter, refrigerator, toilet, tub/shower, powder room sink, washing machine, entryway, etc. Going from a tiny 1DK to a massive 3LDK doesn't change the overhead requirements much; those extra 75 m^2 are mostly usable space.
That's funny to think about: if music playback technology didn't exist, every cafe would be in need of a mediocre guitarist.
> Production systems should never be changed or administered in place, only replaced. Servers should be immutable appliances. They do not need a package manager, or systemd, or ssh, or even a shell. Such things are developer tools and only belong in development environments like workstations.

That is a very restrictive work methodology (unikernels,exokernels). Although interesting and certainly useful in some cases (high security, rare updates), Bryan Cantrill was partially right on this - in the real world, we often need to debug stuff running in production and support paying customers who require that. Your idea of "production systems" and "servers" seems very specific and the "should" statements are often not true in practice.

Developer tools definitely belong on the server too, you need them to determine how to build your stack binaries in the best way for the OS and HW architecture there and keep them updated and secure.
>Visual arts as a career will be dead soon

Put a fine of 10% of annual turnover if a company cannot prove that images used in its product/ads are human generated. Make payment to visual artists part of the process of proving it.
Boom, visual arts as a career saved.

It's one thing to say we shouldn't do it, it's quite another to say we cannot.
I went on mastodon several months ago and the big servers for topics i was interested (They were non-political, technical topics) in had racism in the rules. The one i remember was that calling for the death of all white people is explicitly allowed. Might as well just stay on twitter if that's the standard being set there.
- Copyright expires 70 years after an artists death.

- Corporations / Contributers can buy images, or draw their own

- Getty Images already has the rights to 477 million images.

An A7ii with a Sigma EF 85mm f/1.4 (incidentally the whole set up used is about half the price of an iPhone 14 Pro).

The X100T is a great camera for the experience, but it kinda sucks for low-light. If you want good low-light performance, then image stabilization is a must and full-frame with a lens faster than F2 makes a huge difference too. In the end I can hand-hold comfortably at 1/4th of a second, and the camera itself takes in 4x more light, so low light performance is much better than on an X100T.

I can upload the pictures I'm talking about later today, if you want.

There are experiments using ZKPs and pairing based schemes, going all the way back to Anonymous Credentials work.

However, the availability and acceptability of even more widely acknowledged curves like Ed25519 and secp256k isn't there - neither is yet NIST certified for government usage, most HSMs (including phone secure enclaves) don't understand and thus can't protect or accelerate private key usage.

There are performance, complexity, security and general distrust issues with newer techniques, so you have to be a bit more selective on when you rely on them.

My expectation is that it will depend on use cases - credentials backed by an active relationship between the subject of the credential and the issuer can use a protocol to get batches of credentials, and salted hash trees can be used to allow for selective disclosure where needed, including providing precomputed predicate values. With simpler crypto, you could generate batches of short-lived credentials so that use is not linkable by the signature randomness.

For credentials which are meant to be long lived or which need to be maintained without backing hosted infrastructure, you'll see need for more advanced cryptographic techniques to prevent multiple disclosure of the same information to be correlated by the signature, or to allow predicates to be recomputed at presentation time.
This doesn't make any sense in this context and I think you know it bud.

Musk is only doing with Twitter what Fark.com did over 20 years ago with TotalFark - you pay a small monthly fee for admission, and you get a shiny badge next to your username, along with a few perks.

Just like Something Awful forums did before that - paid admission - it's an excellent tool to weed out the obvious bots and low effort trolls.

Twitter has no "creators" - it's just a fancy message board.

Everything old is new again. The Gen-Z kids on Twitter and TikTok were still pooping in diapers when these sites ruled the Internet, and now have sadly been relegated to a dusty corner thereof.
