> What other profession expects to be paid for producing work and expects to keep the result of the work?

The definition of “keep” in that sentence is the principal question of copyright, isn’t?

That is to say, if I produce a physical object at someone’s behest, I have to completely give up on the result in order for them to have unrestricted use of it, for reasons of physics. There are no such reasons for texts, computer programs, and so on, unless imposed artificially by law.

(I’m not going to call something good just because it’s the natural state of things, but neither am I going to automatically consider something reasonable just because it’s the law.)

For example, if I’m employed as a teacher, a good portion of my work is producing notes to give lectures from or to hand out to students, so that’s partly what I’m being paid for. Yet it’d be pretty normal for me to then publish them in some form, for money or not, without my employer trying to lay claim to them.

Even a developer who is employed by virtue of his experience in databases is generally not precluded from publishing a book summarizing that same experience for others to use.

> The guy got £20,000 for some pages of [babble]. He should be elated.

I don’t know anything about his situation, but a freelancer’s budgeting always has to account for the time spent waiting or searching for the next gig; being paid fabulously for a job that occupies your every waking hour for a month, then spending the next two sucking on your thumb (and recovering from the overtaxing sprint you’ve just had) is pretty normal, and on average the money ends up much less abundant than you’d guess just looking at the numbers. (Unless you’re Brandon Sanderson and can finish a novel a year, I guess.)
AFAIK, for a long they were pretty hostile and there's still this webpage which asks a $45 wire transfer in order to receive a CD with open source components used in the routerOS: https://mikrotik.com/downloadterms.html

That might have changed now, but I still can't find an official repo. You could look for older versions like this: https://github.com/robimarko/routeros-GPL or try to contact them directly (or sue if you think you have a standing).
In the video they had jello, maybe there's a choking hazard
For what it’s worth, I didn’t find the tone of the article unpleasant. As you said, anything less might be a bit boring or dry. The way it’s written now, at least to me, comes off as sincere/authentic (in addition to be interesting & informative).
I'm not sure what level of experience you have with 3D software/animation/creative stuff in general, but that stuff is already there, without having to rely on any AI.

Most 3D packages have something similar, but for Blender specifically, it asks you want area you want to work in when you create a new project, to tailor the UI for that specific task (splash screen screenshot: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/_images/interface_...). The UI is also highly customizable, basically everything is movable to anywhere, so if you have your own preference (or want to use others from online somewhere), that's trivial to achieve as well.

What you're suggesting doesn't actually contribute anything to speeding up that workflow, as it stands right now.

> Right now that setup process is a lot of boilerplate-by-way-of-GUI that gets in the way of using any specific technique.

What boilerplate are you talking about here? You have specific examples? It sounds to me you're assuming 3D creation is similar to software, somehow. While it's fairly common in the industry to have templates/boilerplate "starters" for various things you want to do.

Show HN: GPTMarker – Save and share your ChatGPT conversations
Problem: As users engage in conversations with ChatGPT, they often want to save or share their conversations with ChatGPT. However, currently there is no easy way to do this, making it difficult for users to create screenshots and share their conversations.

Solution: GPTMarker is a new tool that allows users to easily save and share their ChatGPT conversations. With GPTMarker, users can simply click a button to save their conversation, and then share it with others via a unique URL. This makes it easy for users to revisit their conversations and share them with others, enhancing their overall ChatGPT experience.
Honestly, the only mistranslation here is the extraneous full stop after the first clause. Replace it with a comma and it becomes a serviceable, if odd-sounding, English sentence that conveys the correct meaning.
Ask HN: Any ideas for a small but useful NPM package?

What events were held there, exactly, and how was the space used ?
For me personally, I don't actually trust any of that.

Any purchase I do online is done with a virtual card that links to a bank account that only ever has the amount I need to pay for whatever it is I am currently purchasing. That way it doesn't matter if the information is stolen etc. because there is no more money to use and I can cancel the card as easily as I can create a new.

For banking I also only use my banks official app, I don't know how exactly it works and I assume it does use some form of http and whatnot, but I wouldn't trust using a bank through the browser as you never know what kind of thing an extension or something have in there.
Correct but this means all content if iCloud is enabled, Photos doesn't give you an option to create a folder or album where you can store your photos on-device only.

You also can't have drop in replacement alternative cloud provider if you are not OK to be scanned and reported to the authorities for government disallowed content(There's no technical reason for the reported content being CSAM only, can be anything) because alternative apps can't have the same level of iPhone integration with iCloud.

Not particularly. Unless the bug is in some complicated compiler inference code, the Julia stdlib is just like any other Julia package. If you can fix it in a library, you can fix it in Base Julia.

Julia actually already has an interpreter that it uses for some stuff (like code in the global scope). adding more of a teired jit approach is on the Todo list, but it's a very large project.
My first exposure was when I was a toddler, and my dad brought home from work a portable printer terminal and an acoustic modem. Later, we had a big printer terminal tied to a bright orange 300 baud modem churning through ridiculous amounts of paper; we were never short on scratch paper as kids.

Finally, my dad bought our first actual computer that didn't need a modem: the Acorn Electron, the little brother of the BBC Micro, which had a big port in the back where you could expand it: a printer interface that also included two cartridge slots, a disk interface that included a 3.5" disk drive (we would actually move from 3.5" diskettes to 5.25" after the release of the IBM PC), and a rom box that used to expand the rom of our 32 kB ram machine to 224 kB rom. Pascal editors and modem software directly available from rom. But the computer would often hang the moment you turned it on, and it didn't have an on/off button; you had to unplug it to reset it.

At some point my dad also brought home a massive luggable PC from work: a big suitcase where the bottom would fold away to become the keyboard, revealing two disk drives with a tiny screen in between.

Later, he bought an XT PC, and I think my brother did something that would hook it up to the Electron where one could be a terminal for the other.
Just to restate the solution... it didn't scan your phone. For photos that were going to be synced to iCloud it would use the handset to create a hash and send that to Apple. It was the most private solution out there for online photos.

Google just outright scan your photos, As do Microsoft. I guess Apple probably do to, or will now.

So your "win" here was "Apple can't use your handset to help ensure the privacy of your photos while also trying to meet local laws."

Meanwhile you're fine to register your face on that exact same handset, let it sync to your iPad, have it store and share your voice print for Siri. People are happy for apple to scan their heart beat and send out alerts if they fall over.

But don't take a hash of a photo you're about to upload to Apple's servers! That is too far.

Ridiculous.
> I think its possible to make it better in every case, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

There are some processes for which there is no one-algo-fits all solution. Rather than trying to find a general solution that is not terrible for either case but also not optimal for either case, could it be more efficient overall to try detect which case you have and apply the most suitable method?

Of course you'd still have to implement & maintain both methods, and there is the cost of the check on each use, and the higher cost if the check's heuristic sometimes picks the less optimal method - that might all add up to meaning a single method that is good enough for all but not ideal for either may still be the best option.

Unless there is a method to be found that is ideal (or reasonably close to) for all cases.
If you think Russia is doing okay then why did they even start mobilisation at all?, surely the hasty mobilisation is a sign that the war is not going the way that they expect.

The tanks that they are sending don't even use the same ammo, nor the same amount of tankers that the rest of the tanks that Russia uses. Thinks have to be going truely poorly for them to breaking them out.
I never realized until I read your comment that my tinnitus must be the reason that I have trouble understanding people in certain situations. It's definitely not as bad as you are describing and it's less of a problem in my native language than with English, but it's definitely there.
In the water closet, of course.

Not quite what you’re asking, I think, but I know a few developers who nailed a piece of software that they live off of and gently maintain over time. Most of the examples I’m thinking of lucked into one or two big clients who are 80% of the revenue.
I thought so too but it bothers a lot less now that the default style of iteration is "for x in y" instead of looping over indices. In fact I barely think about it.

And, yes, for math-y stuff that you are going to be reading off a book, it helps keep things more compatible.
I think reason #1 that i gave is already the dealbreaker for most companies considering PWAs. If your users have difficulties discovering and installing your app, it's a no-go.
It turns out that the COVID vaccines are apparently causing hearing loss and tinnitus.

I valued my hearing very highly, protecting it at all times. I carry hearing plugs any time I go out. I won't even use a hammer without hearing protection. Then I suddenly suffered hearing loss and tinnitus. I immediately made an appointment with an ENT, who wanted to give me a bunch of steroids and call it a day. I can't take those, however, so he referred me to one of the top hearing clinics in the country.

One of the first questions they asked was if I'd had a COVID vaccine recently. Yes, I had a second Pfizer booster. It turns out that hearing damage is a known side effect... but of course you don't find out about it until it's too late. This clinic had started seeing an influx of patients with sudden hearing loss after vaccinations, enough that they wrote a paper on it: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8443418/

And a vaccine researcher also got hit with it: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/tinnitus-rare-sid...

Another one about trying to treat it: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220523/Pfizer-COVID-19-v...

It's irresponsible as hell not to inform people about this risk, and also to claim that it's rare. The more-likely fact is that it's vastly under-reported, especially with people afraid of being "canceled" for speaking out. The benefits of that second booster were negligible, and the results disastrous and life-degrading. And now people are coming out of the woodwork saying, oh yeah, that's a "known thing." Well WTF then, LET IT BE KNOWN.
> And then the openlibm open source math library? Also made by the Julia developers

openlibm is just (yet another) msun repackage, isn't it?
Hah, that's funny. Actually, I had to stop abandon a Julia package of mine because I just couldn't figure out how to debug some threading issues.

What I meant was that, when multithreading is hard in Julia, it's not Julia that makes it hard. Julia gives you exactly all the tools you need, easily available. It's that the problem is hard, i.e. you fuck it up even with good tools available.

In my work though, problems tend to be simple to parallelize.

I have mild tinitus for 20+ years. I notice it mostly when I'm in silence. Background music usually helps.
If you value lives of others above yours as you claim to, why haven't you donated all your organs? You could save a dozen lives.
arm64 is one reason.
I've learned to shift my attention away from the tinnitus to "think" Oh the refrigerator turned on again and forget / not focus on the tinnitus anymore.

Tinnitus is very annoying and eats away energy it requires to pay extra attention to your health and mood and your attention. You might ALSO be very stressed and burnout and blame everything on tinnitus, eliminate other issues and stress factors

Since you do not seem to have a clear loud noise event in the days prior to the tinnitus look for other health issues like a old root canal treatment https://youtu.be/YK8RD3gzmwg

I had to change my life to avoid all loud noises and events it's HARD but you get used to the limitations.
> I also find it a bit hard to belive many people that don't come from a stats/other academic field background would readily pick R over Python for anything ML related

I agree with this, but actually suspect that it's a good thing. People without some experience of stats probably shouldn't be using ML, and if R use helps to identify these people, I'm all for it.

That being said, basically every company has standardised on Python, some for good reasons and others because of the PR Python has gotten through DL stuff.
> Any Python user who’d be interested in using Julia is or should be familiar with ipython.

I would have assumed so too, but the number of (reasonably competent) Python programmers who are shocked to know there are alternate REPL interfaces would suggest otherwise. I was lucky enough to get into Python when these thing were still new and shiny, so I came across ipython/bpython pretty early on. But nowadays the very fact that ipython is well-established means that people don't talk about it as much, assuming everyone knows about it, so it's very much possible that someone comes across news about Julia (which is still "new and shiny" enough to be in the news) and doesn't know about ipython.

Defaults matter, and are the only thing used by a large segment of users, even in today's information-rich and one-tap-install world.
Have Tinnitus since near 40 years. Too much metal.
Never bothered me, so I didn't seek cure, but I accidently found one:
I once moved to a region with few people, all quite boring. So no concerts, no parties,
I didn't listen to music for 2 or 3 months, had no TV, nor any other artificial sounds.
And the Tinnitus disappeared completely. But when I started to listen music or watching TV or using my car again, the Tinnitus reappeared.
I tried 3 or 4 times, and it was absolutely reproducible.

Ask HN: Are things getting more convenient but less satisfying?
I read a post on HN recently where a guy in his teens used to visit a construction site to watch how peopled worked and even help them for small fee. Now he could just watch a YouTube video about it in 10 different ways but the experience differs in that the workers used to treat him well and converse with him, which obviously made him a deep impression.

So I'd be interested to generalize this: with things getting more and more digital and disembodied (ahem, ChatGPT), does it produce convenience at the expense of contentment?
It worked out well for governments once. I don't see any clear indication that it would again. I think people are tired of - in some cases - arbitrary measures and I wouldn't be so certain that they'd go along with it in the same way.

The real bitch of it is, that if we would now be facing a much more dangerous virus, people might not take it seriously enough due to covid turning out to be not as dangerous as initially thought.
But isn’t it possible that humans are “just” doing the same but with a much higher foundational resolution?

Lol. I had a bout of what I would call tennitus this week after my neighbor borrowed $20 bucks from me.

I wear ear pods frequent while I work. They came to my door and asked to borrow some money. I was on hold with a vendor, so I ran to my wallet, gave them the money and pointed at my ear, saying I was on the phone. I closed the door and turned back to my office—then BAM. A high pitch whine in my ear. I pulled the pod out, and sure nuf, it was in my head.

I just decided to ignore it, and it ‘went away’.

Only reason I even gave it any thought was because a colleague of mine was said to have it, Mr. Rick Tharp. What a talent. He committed suicide twenty years ago. Supposedly because of his tennitus.

In my experience with it, it goes away.

Because of my heartbreak over loosing my friend, I wonder if tennitus is code for depression.
