If a court determines that their behavior is illegal, this argument sounds a lot like: "Let us break the law, because someone else is doing much worse."

If it is necessary to reform how we handle copyright and IP licensing to remain competitive, we should find ways to do that.

The law should apply equally to everyone, whether they are competing with Chinese companies or not.
Capitalism is a system dependent on perpetual GDP growth. GDP growth is an increase in trade of newly produced products or services or the inclusion of already provided goods and services into the transaction based economy.

Short lived products create a greater increase in GDP than longer lives products. For GDP growth to continue the additional output must be consumed or otherwise less and less people who insist on full time jobs will be needed to provide for the needs of everyone. Unemployment is the result of an inefficient allocation of entire 40 hour work weeks. We are unable to trade an increase in productivity into more free time.
Twitter may have lost more than a million users since Elon Musk took over
Yes (just like with email, or Twitter where the owner could impersonate anybody)
So fixing indentation or spaces, changing case, renaming functions systematically are all things that can be done with a quick search and replace across the entire code base. I have a feeling the most experienced/"productive" engineers are the ones confident enough to make those changes, but that doesn't necessarily translate into more lines = better programmer.
Twitter is known to be a weak digital ads platform. By its nature, its format is not very suitable for ads that directly end up to conversions but it's more of brand ads. Brand ads are hard to accurately measure its immediate effectiveness so it's important to get advertiser trusts first. I think the previous leadership was able to convince advertisers to allocate an experimental level of budget with bunch of initiatives on brand safety over several years.

But Elon simply blew up the foundation they've built just within a week and now he's blaming "activists" for "advertiser boycotting". But in the reality, it is just a really good justification to pull off advertising budgets from Twitter since it's been largely "experimental" and ad agencies don't want to be blamed for any uncertainties from this leadership change. And you know, everyone want to be as frugal as possible these days and digital ads is a kind of soft budget...
Hmm, but isn't this lack of moderation also what is supposed to protect hosts from legal problems, just like it does for ISPs ? (Why wouldn't an ISP be legally bothered about transferring an illegal file ?)
I agree with the author mostly. This proposal makes it way too easy to sprinkle panics all over Go code without thinking about the consequences.
thanks a lot ! do you have real world examples and whitepapers of systems designed around that architecture ?
I am surprised how intuitive the Quest Pro MR Workstation stuff is. So far everything else is not worth the $1.5k price.
> i can't tell you how many times ive seen people's arguments get thoroughly dismantled, then we'll see them screaming the exact same arguments an hour later pretending the dismantling didn't happen.

There's no modern cannon to these arguments and their discussion, so the dismantling basically didn't happen. Only the readers of that dismantling know about it
> But there is no compelling argument put forth by anarchism that establishes a reasonable control mechanism for limiting said force.

That is already a solved problem. The force chooses to exert itself in a limited way. The largest military in the world currently works like that - the US army does whatever the US Congress tells it to. They don't have to, the army has the guns and the US Congress only has annoying geriatrics and comfortable seats - not much of a contest if the army makes it one. The army chooses to limit itself because they understand it will lead to the best outcome for them.

The radical part of anarchism isn't the use of force, it is the argument that the people who exert force shouldn't be trying to solve social problems with force. The barrier to that isn't the behaviour of the army, it is the beliefs of the polity.
So, you might be interested in https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula . There have been a few examples of VR windows managers on Linux which don’t require an entire OS rewrite.

Is that the solution Meta will go w/? almost certainly not. But replacing a WM for a different “view” of your OS is a pretty common thing on Linux. (For some distros like Arch, replace isn’t the right word. You have to install whichever one you’d like from the beginning)
They’re different experiences for users with different priorities.

Your priority is evidently ease of configuration, VScode is definitely easier out of the box - there is no comparison.

My priority is hackabilty for streamlined editing and code navigation. Here neovim run circles around vscode.

Neither is “right”, just different preferences. Note that I’m not here to tell you my editor is better, I personally enjoy using it more, and that’s enough for me.

This may actually backfire on Butterick. I am sure Microsoft has a very competent legal department and they have given a lot of thought to the matter.

Most of these articles assume that Butterick will win, but I don’t think that’s a given. If the court rules that this is fair use, then that could set precedent for even further applications of CoPilot and remove some of the legal uncertainty around its use.
It’s a prototype but also not how most cryptocurrency people use blockchain. It’s a shared ledger between a couple of banks, organized by a central bank. It’s no surprise that this works because it doesn’t drag in all of the notorious drawbacks trying to do the pseudo-anonymous permission-less stuff, or trying to be a separate currency.
I work with a psych and take the stimulants, and still struggle. Medication is only half the battle. I would recommend checking out Andrew Huberman's podcast episode on ADHD. Basically, as I understand, the medication "smooths out" the pathways that are "blocked" in the dopamine system. Once medicated, I think a treatment plan like this would be very helpful for me and for others.

Yeah, even without Google+, they compete for advertisers’ budgets. I certainly would not give my email to my competitor.

Most people will be familiar with RS-232 when connecting to a computer (COM ports). In the industrial/embedded world, it's still used quite a bit to connect to devices for logs/terminals/programming and setup etc. Of course now we rely on usb-serial adapters to connect them to our laptops.

RS-232 is still used for connecting to some embedded chipsets. Best example would be modems/4G modules. You can pick either RS-232 or USB, however sometimes on that little microcontroller you're using it won't have USB. If you don't need a huge amount of throughput then the serial port is fine.

RS-485 as others have mentioned is great. Often you can't run new cables for cat/fibre so you're stuck with stealing some copper off an old system that has been decommissioned. You'd be surprised how far you can run a RS-485 system at low speed and maintain high reliability.
Might still be worked on at the phase they're at. I do wonder about the lack of an overhead strap in the design.

In the pictures and video, the headset the guy is wearing is probably light and without a display to vertically align his sight on.

I imagine they're trying to avoid the strap to make it more stylish to enable its use in public settings, but if it ends up being uncomfortable or hard to focus through, that would really hurt all other values it offers. It's meant primarily for work, so one should be able to stay on it for hours. Wonder how things will turn out.

Worst-case though, adding a strap is probably not too difficult of a mod.
Then do not follow people that post illegal stuff.
But Mastodon instances do tell you what is going on. They provide lists of the other instances they have banned from their own, with a statement on why. Here's the one I'm on right now: https://mstdn.social/about (scroll to the bottom and expand the "Moderated servers" section).

Centralized social media platforms also control everything you see, to the point that it can be very difficult to see the full range of posts from accounts in good standing that you follow within their platform, in favor of posts they think would keep you more "engaged". And they are famously opaque on how they do that. If you can guess at what they've done and decide you don't like it, you don't have any recourse. After you've spent time to build a network of people you follow and follow you, they have you locked into their platform, holding your subscriptions hostage against you.

I guess I don't understand what you want. Twitter is too much censorship, right? But we don't know how Twitter censors content, and even if we did, what would you do about it? Mastodon instances censor content, yeah. Why not? It's a person running their own site, they can let whatever they want through it. But they tell you how, when, and why they censor. And if you don't like it, you don't have to put up with it.
Forget about what instance owners can do within the confines of the common Mastodon server codebase - Mastodon in the end is a protocol, so there are NO guarantees about the behavior of individual instances.

It seems like Mastodon assumes that misbehaving nodes will be cut off and just ignored by well-behaved ones - but that assumes that abuse is detectable and that standards of behavior will be enforced even if it means cutting off potentially large communities.
From your own site this seems like another crypto scam:

“QBUX is currently an ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum protocol. In the future, versions of QBUX running on other protocols may be developed, exchangeable 1-1 with the current QBUX token.”

Maybe you’re not willing to cop to it being “crypto” but it’s in essence the same.
I guess your definition of Confederation/confederacy applies to the World Wide Web too then ?
I would. Reality is the best fact checker
Well, Rust can offer some kinds of guarantees that GCed languages can't, in the cases where its type system applies. It can allow you to safely share mutable data between threads, for example, or to guarantee that opened files get closed in a timely way. So I don't think it's interesting only because it pushes safety into a new level of runtime performance, though often that is also true.

I think it's noteworthy that, not only in the doubly-linked-list case but even in cases that use Arc (which doesn't require `unsafe`), Rust is less safe than mainstream GCed languages like Java (and arguably Haskell and OCaml). Rust can leak memory; those other languages can't. Its safety guarantees in those cases are a proper subset of theirs.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the situation? I've only written very small amounts of Rust.
Qu'ils mangent de la kelp.
We've created a new class, of tens of thousands of people all over the world, who spend all day censoring content in realtime.

Eventually there will be giant censorship service corporations lobbying government for more restrictions on speech, and for them to be more complicated and confusing (to make them more difficult to in-house.)
And the extent of that parsing should be in accordance with the relevant RFCs (namely, 5322). Per that RFC, the local-part is an opaque string of permitted characters. Attempting to parse the local-part beyond that when you ain't the one who owns/controls that address is bug-prone at best and user-hostile at worst.
You can choose not to follow people that post illegal stuff.

I only see things from people I follow. It is perfectly valid to use Mastodon like an RSS reader.
I'd be game for charitable except now we know unflattering content from conversations he had privately which indicate he's really only out for himself. It's all fueled by ego and greed (moreso ego at this point).

>It's a democratic problem that 99% of all public discourse is subject to veto and policy from advertisers and payment processers

In the sense we don't want to fund actual public places for discourse online and instead have pushed this off to private servers ran by private companies, yes. When a large portion of the voter base says "reduce taxes beyond all else" don't expect funding to show up for this. More so the advertising industries are also apt to fund political campaigns so it's unlikely most politicians are going to go out of the way to change status quo. And in that sense the average user is going to be aligned with providing most online interactions as 'somewhat' safe spaces until safety is not aligned with their political sensibilities.

I personally don't think that Elon is going to do much other than crash the value of Twitter and lose and epic amount of cash doing so. It's possible that the whole ordeal may push more people to federated social media, but it seems to unlikely to do so in numbers that matter.
I certainly don't miss living in high density city apartments. Those things are death traps.
Everything is pretty much just language servers behind the scenes these days anyway. Neovim supports those natively, so those young chaps aren’t talking about your vim of yesteryear.
I'm not "trying to discredit", I'm pointing out the hypocrisy.

A man can't own a company because he's a "sexual harasser", but I'm sure many of you did/would vote for Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, or Andrew Cuomo. All "sexual harassers". Just shows how much this is actually about Elon Musk's morals as opposed to just hating him because he said that censorship is bad.

Funny thing is I'm a C++ programmer myself right now as I mentioned :) Even if we decide to "deprecate" C++ today, Google alone would have large enough C++ codebase left to maintain for the next two generation of programmers.

So no, I don't think it means we should demote or fire all C++ programmers -- but at the same time I'd like to note that as a programmer no one should be married to a single language -- languages come and go.
> The Left's alternative to Twitter is Mastodon a Confederacy.

Why would that be ironic? Apart from the most well-known historical example—I assume that's your reference—there's nothing about a confederation that's inherently 'anti-left', as far as I can tell. The European Union resembles a confederation.
Kind of like you can send an email attachment containing illegal content to thousands of people and their SMTP servers will automatically download and store it.

This is not a new problem. Shared spam lists and block lists are already emerging on mastodon, matrix, and other decentralized systems too.
This is unfortunate, because it removes the reason the link is worth reading.

The M0 money supply increased from $350 billion to $900 billion from 1990 to 2008. During that time the federal debt increased from $3 trillion to $9 trillion. So the debt (due to the structural budget deficit) increased vastly faster than the portion of the money supply attributable to printing currency.

Moreover, most money is not created by the government printing money, it's created by federal reserve purchases of debt or bank lending. Neither of those are reflected in the deficit. The prior poster is thus incorrect to say that the government "needs" to run a budget deficit "because that's where money comes form."
If the argument is that the tool is facilitating copyright infringement by users then it matters whether or not the users actually keep the supposedly infringing code, yes. If the code gets deleted immediately afterwards by the user then the claim of infringement by the user is farcical.

If the argument is that copilot is infringing because it merely displays an allegedly copyrighted snippet for a few moments, even if the user does not accept the completion, or accepts it but then deletes it, then that is a completely different argument because there is very little identifiable damage to the authors, which bolsters an argument of fair use.
> But then there’s the 79% of survey respondents who “believe their virtual assistants and streaming devices can listen to their conversations,” and the 67% who “believe they have received an advertisement based on a conversation they’ve had that was captured by a virtual assistant or streaming device.”

to the question as stated, these seem like reasonable answers. to a more specific question that limits this to “periods during which nobody has spoken the keyword that activates the smart speaker”, the answer might be different.

> A snippet further down in the survey–48% of respondents said they cleared their browser history, a meaningless move against ad networks–suggests that many people remain confused about web tracking.

did they do this as part of resetting a larger amount of browser state (e.g. cookies)? and was this action even motivated to protect against the ad industry, or to protect against physical access (theft; keeping secrets from family)? the survey question doesn’t specify.

> Chubb’s survey surfaces comparable confusion about passwords, with 61% of respondents saying they struggle to keep track of them but only 35% reporting they use password managers like Google Password Manager.

is using a password manager provided by an ad company supposed to protect you from that ad company learning more details about your life?

>incarcerated unfairly

Yea, I don’t know what I would think about that. Perhaps if the scenario was someone bringing illegal drugs into a country, knowingly violating that countries laws, having been to that country before and been told what was illegal, and then to top it off that person had publicly mocked and criticized the free country they had come from previously - I‘m not sure I could muster the will to care if they are released or not.

I wouldn’t have empathy for someone knowingly breaking any foreign country laws with arrogance.
SMTP servers host and transmit piles of illegal content, but so long as server operators make best efforts to use spam lists it is never a legal problem.
The fact that Twitter is controlled by one man or a group of investors is precisely why it's not a public square. It has nothing to do with the amount of users; if the public doesn't control it, then it's not public.
Yeah right, in that case there's something wrong there! Maybe in the way it queues up the options.
