We don't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater here. We can have non-English domain names without the security risks. We just need to do a better job of indicating to the user that a domain name is written using, say, kanji and not ascii. Full unicode support, I.E. allowing mixed character sets in a domain name, should be disallowed, however, as displaying to the user "the first character is kanji, the rest is ascii" is too cumbersome.

> Uh no. He simply posted a screenshot from the guy’s thesis.

That is BS. Musk posted it with this false comment, which he knew would enrage his followers (and it did, I saw tons of "all pedophiles deserve to die" about Roth after this):

> Looks like Yoel is arguing in favor of children being able to access adult Internet services in his PhD thesis.

Which is, unsurprisingly, the exact opposite of what Roth was arguing for. Here is what the DailyMail (not exactly a liberal rag) said about Roth's thesis:

> Roth wrote that, as underage youngsters use the app anyway, an age-appropriate version should be created to offer help to LGBT youth

In other words, he specifically wanted to separate kids from an app that was intended for adults.

Now, people can definitely debate in good faith whether Roth's argument is a good idea or not - I think it's most definitely not. But it's not because of the absolutely false trope that Roth wants to make kids available to adults, which is basically what Musk has deliberately whipped up his followers into a frenzy about.

Yes. The electrification movement isn’t any “green” if you take into account the impact of current battery technology.

PS: the impact of battery technology - I’m not only talking about mining but the entire cycle: usable life, reverse logistics, disposal and recycling, dealing w/ water and soil contamination.
Most smart lights these days are either wireless based on Zigbee (e.g. Philips Hue, IKEA's Tradfri) and standard profiles or, for expensive smart homes and offices, wired on KNX/EIB. With either of these, if the vendor goes bust, the only paperweight will be the gateway, but you can continue to use the appliances.

That's not true.
I'm not a fan of BGG, and their definition is questionable in its own ways (little randomness is wrong) but either way I was reacting to the "interaction" part in the post I was replying to. All good games are interactive, but some people seem to miss it if the theme is wrong.
So, I've been thinking of registering a limited company for some projects of mine, so that I can have a "portable legal identity", and I was mainly considering either an Irish or Estonian company (I am Irish, but i don't live there anymore).

Is a US company a good alternative? Did you need to have some connection or representative in the US to open one?

Substack also gets lots of revenue from subscriptions. If that's not enough to keep the platform up then perhaps they need to try to take a bigger cut (or not offer service to authors who have too few subscribers).

There's no reason for authors (who are Substack's customers) to want to make the platform more annoying for readers (some of whom are the author's customers). If the author is not making enough money (perhaps because Substack has started taking a bigger cut to cover costs) they need only to improve their writing and/or put more of it behind the paywall in order to get more subscribers.

This is a bit silly, though? Search Google images for Mickey Mouse, is the results page a possible liability for Google? Why not?

Go to a baker and commission a Mickey Mouse cake. Is that a violation if the bakery didn't advertise it? (To note, a bakery can't advertise it due to trademark, not copyright. Right?)

For that matter, any privately commissioned art? Is that really what artists want to lock away?

I feel like you have misread the comment you are responding to, as that question was almost certainly an attempt to verify that the person who was arguing the other side of the point wasn't willing to do handedly screw over the majority of the world that doesn't use Latin characters because their non-English language--which they had thrown out for street cred here--happened to not need anything that wouldn't be readily mapped with low corruption to the Latin set.
I find it interesting that, for some reason, mentioning Web3 very quickly ended up at libertarianism. My point was that storing essential data on a blockchain means it can be distributed and there's no single point of failure. For some reason people think Blockchain == crypto, however, but Blockchain can be done without crypto.

Something like this can be compared to torrents, where the data is distributed, so as long as someone hosts the data it will be available.
You are not responding in good faith yourself. There is a clear and obvious distinction between calling a stance monstrous and calling a person monstrous. The GP did the former and I don’t think it was ambiguous — but even if it was, it is in bad faith to assume the worst interpretation.

>> as if that is possible on android phones. on most phones you cant even get stock android.

It's true that some Android phones are more locked down than others.

However, on most you can side load apps and install alternative App Stores such as f-Droid or Amazon, with just a few settings changes.

The same is not possible with Apple devices. You can temporarily side load an app if you pay the costs to get a developer key to sign an app. Alternative App Stores are just not possible yet.

> Would you mind if AI starts creating art like yours?

The law isn't there to protect my feelings, so whether I mind or not is irrelevant. Artists have had to deal with shifting art markets for as long as art has been a profession.

> What if your clients tell you they bought the AI generated art instead of yours?

I'd be sad and out of a source of income. Much the same way I would be if my clients hired another similar but cheaper artist. The law doesn't guarantee me a livelihood.

This is super cool. Performance doesn't really matter, as long as it can keep 45 fps, the experience would be good enough with motion reprojection turned on.
Hosting your own stuff is always the answer. And keep backups!

Even something like getting some cheap hosting and spinning up a WordPress installation will work well (and is easily backed up, exported off-site etc).
Not at all, for many reasons.

1) the artist is not literally copying the copyrighted pixel data into their "system" for training

2) An individual artist is not a multi billion dollar company with a computer system that spits out art rapidly using copyrighted pixel data. A categorical difference.
Its a known tactic in competitive online games where you can see your opponents IP address to try to "boot them" via DDOS their local IP so they go down or have lessened performance and you win the match. Also harass or shake down kids they think have money. Fortunately the vast majority of people have dynamic IPs, and could likely get a non effected one by just unplugging their router and letting it get a clean IP.

Because of this, a lot of games companies will try to mask the actual IP of the other users now, and Steam has tooling for games they support for devs on their platform.
I don't. I used to when votes worked both as votes and as bookmarks.

At some moment I started bookmarking stories in the browser and gave up voting because somehow I felt humble and decided that my opinion wasn't important for stories, that I'm better as an observer of what's popular. I still upvote some stories every other month for different reasons.

When some submission seems stupid or infuriating I use "hide" instead of flagging it.

I upvote comments when there's something interesting in it or when I see a grayed comment that's factual or when I believe it's just their opinion, they're entitled to it! Why did somebody downvoted that?

I use to upvote every answer to my comments... except when I forget (it happens) or when I think my point wasn't understood. It's not about disagreement, more like "you're not really answering to what I said". Otherwise have it. Sometimes I have a laugh thinking that the other person, that's disagreeing with me in a chain of answers, wouldn't believe that it's me who is upvoting his comments.

I downvote when I feel very bad faith or stupidity. If I realize I'm downvoting too much in a row, I just close the browser and have a cup of tea. Usually I resist downvoting, specially if I realize I have no clue about the topic. But sometimes I can't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe he's offering them more money?
Yeah I agree. I was generally pretty pro AI art and agree with a lot of the pro AI sentiments here on a logical basis still, but as the tech develops I drift more and more towards thinking this may be a bleak path for humanity.

> Instead of replacing crappy jobs and freeing up peoples time to enjoy their life, we’re actually automating enjoyable pursuits.

Yeah really hit the nail on the head here. I thought a lot of backlash against AI was due to workers not really reaping the benefits of automation and that's a solvable problem. But I've seen a lot of artists who are retired or don't need to work dive into despair over this still. It's taking their passion away, not just their job.

I don't really know how we could stop it though without doing some sweeping Dune-level "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind" type laws.
Artists have a complicated ethical system where 1. reposting/tracing a solo artist's images without "citing the artist" is "stealing" (copyright violation) 2. imitating their style is also "stealing" but 3. drawing fanart of any series without asking is fine and 4. any amount of copyright violation is not only fine but encouraged as long as it's from a corporation.

The punishment for breaking any of these rules is a lot of people yell at you on Twitter. Unfortunately, they've been at it so long that they now think these are actual laws of the universe, although of course they have pretty much nothing to do with the actual copyright law.

That actual law doesn't care if you're selling it or not either, at least not as a bright line test.

(Japanese fanartists have a lot more rules, like they won't produce fan merch of a series if there is official merch that's the same kind of object, or they'll only sell fan comics once on a specific weekend, and the really legally iffy ones have text in the back telling you to burn after reading or at least not resell it. Some more popular series like Touhou have explicit copyright grants for making fanart as long as you follow a few rules. Western fanartists don't read or respect any of these rules.)
Yeah, and roscosmos accused an astronaut of drilling it from the inside! I've always wondered what the state of that investigation is.

Very different sort of leak.
Seems really clever!
Jongleur: An react-three-fiber / Three.js animation library
Hi There,

I have just released the first working version of my open source library Jongleur (German for juggler). Initially, I was wanting to build those cool scrolling animations, that seem to pop up a lot recently, in react-three-fiber. I found that working with these scenes can be quite messy, so I build a library that helps you to layout and structure these animations in a way that is inspired by keyframe editors known from animation software. This allows the scenes to be expressed in a central place, that is easier to maintain and scale.
The library also makes heavy use of TypeScript to ensure correct usage. It can be used to animate three.js objects as well as DOM Elements in the same keyframe definition. It is also not limited to scroll-based progress as the animations can be driven by any form of progress, such as time or other user input.

If that sounds interesting to you, you can checkout the GitHub and maybe even leave a star .

I really hope Jongleur helps some of you to build beautiful and engaging landing pages and make 3D visuals more accessible!
The idea that the AI will compete with you by copying your unique style seems like exactly the sort of short-sighted conceit that I alluded to in my post above. As an artist, would you be much happier if, rather than the AI copying your style, the AI generated infinitudes of pictures in a style that the overwhelming majority of humans prefers to yours, so that you couldn't hope to ever create anything that people outside of a handful of hipsters and personal friends will value?
As a thought experiment, let's say that the next version of stable diffusion is able to integrate large text datasets into the training set and can generate an accurate Mickey Mouse without ever having to be trained on an image of Mickey Mouse since it's integrated enough information from the text.

What then? Certainly an individual artist can't go and sell images of Mickey Mouse since it's still copyright infringement, but what claim would Disney have against the AI company?

I wrote in another comment that if you make the training of such models illegal regardless of distribution, it's essentially making certain mathematics illegal. That poses some very interesting questions around rights, whether others will do it anyways, and the practicality of enforcing such a rule in the first place.
Only if you know about it. How many people actually know about it?
The aircraft's type is not part of ADS-B Out data, it has to be looked up in a database using the hex code. This has implications for aircraft separation, as heavier aircraft produce more turbulence that can be harmful to smaller aircraft. A bad or missing weight category caused by something like PIA having a code collision or a failed update could lead to a fatal accident if the separation for a small aircraft is used for a large one.

A small risk, and something that could be mitigated, but still there nonetheless.

The proposals to encrypt ADS-B data, being driven by corporations and wealthy individuals, are more risky in that they add key management to the mix and make it much more likely that something will go wrong and cause widespread ATC failures or aircraft going dark on ATC displays and in collision avoidance systems at critical moments. Especially as there'll be a mix of encrypted/non-encrypted transponders for decades to come.
Nobody because these aren’t the first. Aviation, gaming, finance, logistics, etc… there’s huge industries that are already inundated with AI tools.
Considering the level of discourse in almost any Twitter thread on any popular topic, it’s hard to be sure it hasn’t already happened.

Yeah no. English is the lingua franca of computer science and programming. It's one of the few areas where language is not getting in the way of international exchange so much. It brings people together. I can check out and understand any random project on github no matter where the author is from and what language they speak. The worst that can happen is I can't read the comments. Even then most people still at least use English names for variables and functions. Nobody stops you from thinking in your native language while coding.

What do you gain from IDN domain names other that nobody who doesn't speak your language can't even type or remember them? Apart from the obvious security issues mentioned in TFA. Same goes for handles or ids. Don't allow non-ascii for usernames to avoid scams. If you insist, have a separate display name that's displayed alongside.
It's noteworthy, but it's not a breakthrough. You can't be both really if you think about it. And this, while noteworthy, still leaves us decades (and several actual breakthroughs) away from even a prototype practical fusion reactor.
“Doesn’t look like it was made in 2003.”

Sometimes in tech we don’t do a good job of recognizing that a problem is essentially “solved” and further “innovation” isn’t helping. The reason why stuff looked like “it was made in 2003” was because that essentially solved the problem. All the extra iterations on top of that arguably didn’t help.

A lot could be said of many forms of web design too. The basic designs of the late 90s and early 2000s were very functional. A lot of the junk out there today looks flashy but is borderline terrible at actually communicating easily navigable information. There are good exceptions today, and to my point those are broadly things that didn’t try and reinvent the wheel through unnecessary “innovation” in “design.”
But nobody is "constantly tracking and publishing his whereabouts".

The information published is not constant: it is published only when a plane takes off or lands.

The information is not a person's whereabouts - it is that of a vehicle

It could be argued that taking a flight in a private jet is just as much an example of what you term a public event as being at a sports event is, since private jets are required by law to broadcast their exact id and location whenever they are in flight.
This would be great also if, during damage situations they are less harmful than Lithium Ion batteries (which cause very hot, self sustaining fires for hours and hours!)
It is not possible. And EU law (which is where these models were trained) has explicit allowances for machine learning anyway.
I believe the plan is still that the improvements in 3.11 are to be traded off against the overhead of eventual GIL removal. So, don't enjoy them too much.
> they do not build the engines (Kratos does).

According to the PR, Kratos (or more specifically FTT) does not build the engines, it (supposedly) will design them.

> The people who manufacture the engines and operate the planes are the ones who need to put in the effort and pay the costs, it is not Boom who has to care.

I mean, the manufacturer usually cares in the sense that the manufacturing and operating costs inform the purchase.

Though obviously the plane would need to exist first for operators to even evaluate it.
Possible? Maybe. I believe we know enough now, however, to conclude that it’s astonishingly unlikely.

Anyone paying attention to his tweets can tell this is obvious fake front that he tries to maintain (one that actually works on a lot of folks). On some level it's probably technically true part of the time, counting long flights in his private jet as "working", etc.
LibJS Exploitation: 'Broobwser' Writeup
The sad thing is that once, a while ago, there was an attempt to compete with the new market of scripting languages (Perl, Tcl) from a shell perspective. The result being Korn Shell, especially ksh93, and tools like dtksh (which allowed Motif UI apps to be written in shell).

Compared to that, bash is really anemic.

Python took Perl's money a bit when it came to scripting, Ruby – clearly influenced a lot by Perl – made big grounds in web apps, once they outgrew CGIs, and of course then we collectively got Javascript Stockholm syndrome.

But seriously, they're all good dogs. We all revel in the Narcicissm of Small Differences, but in the end it wouldn't really matter if we used Perl instead of Python or any other algol-ish imperative OO language with some functional bits.
I’m the wrong kind of an engineer to have a cogent thought / argument about that.

My remark was more of an anecdote that these things are getting better in spite of a great deal of pessimism about them over my lifetime.

With blockchains, everything is open and accessible. Nothing is hidden, nothing will disappear against the will of others. At least that seems to be the dream some people in that space are trying to achieve, as I understand it.

On the more practicable side, I guess more automation for preserving stuff is also used. Making it a bit more comfortable to achieve those goals.
