I studied CS engineering at a fancy uni with a pretty strict curriculum.

One year I fancied going on an around the world trip on this program called "Semester ar Sea" (SAS) for a study abroad. This was explicitly out of scope for the curriculum and the dean vehemently roadblocked my request.

My school happened to have one of those design your own major options so I went in and wrote my own major that was something like "cse and international business" and designed the curriculum so that SAS was a perfect fit.

A few weeks later I pitched the dean and her staff on this "engineering with an international context" major and they LOVED it. She signed on the dotted line smiling and that's when I informed the room that I'd be doing Semester at Sea because it was a perfect fit.

Best of all, having a dean stamp of approval, my scholarship transferred over.

So I spent the next 9 months earning college credit living on a cruise ship with 500 other kids traveling literally around the planet. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I could fill a book with stories by the time I finally came home.

To this day I'm not sure if the dean was pissed or proud or both of me
As an artist, I already realized that the war is lost, without a fight.
There is no way to stop the removal of human labor. At first, A.I. tools will need supervision and optimization, but soon they will do this by themselves.
I moved all of my art related work into a real medium.
If someone in the future finds value of owning an actual art, I will provide.

If people are happy with metaverse A.I. generated images, projected in their minds, so be it.
It is over. The rest is just an echo of human civilization. Transhumanistic clones are coming to town:)
I think yours is a good analogy. Original creators have no obligations whatsoever, they have to maintain the server part for a time, and that's it. People might be up about it, but they should realize that this is part of the original deal. Closed source and software as service models naturally work like this, and it's not entirely the manufacturer's fault that people get the short end like this. They had the short end to begin with. And it's not like it's unreasonable to sunset a game from the early 2000s, with server and other features right in the open. People can and do run the stuff themselves just fine.
I think that counts as conspiracy to commit a crime, so it's already covered in the criminal code? I'm focused on trying to develop speech norms for speech that's not a crime. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33998327

Libreboot changed their definition to include CPU microcode updates. So some people would argue not they're "libre" anymore, or no different from coreboot. Also some people consider it unavoidable, as Debian also folded recently

Also they stopped supporting the most capable boards Asus KGPE and KCMA
> LTSpice is not for schematic capture. It's for simulation.

That may well be. IN that case, LTSpice would benefit greatly from being able to import the output of a proper schematic capture tool.

If LTSpice was OpenSource, that could be added in a day of work.

I love LTSpice, but the fact that

1. the software sees very little updates over time

2. it's closed source and all the cool shit that could be added to it by the community won't happen

is really a huge downer.
Show HN: Powerful, Easy-to-Use Programming System for Learners
I'm a programming teacher and I created this C library and set of tools to make it easier for children and beginners to learn programming on Raspberry Pis (or other GNU/Linux computers). My requirements were: I wanted something at least as good as I remember BASIC being when I was a kid, and in particular I wanted it to be easy to do graphics and make 2D pixel-art games.

Existing systems for teaching programming were either too simplistic for what I needed (Scratch), didn't make it easy enough to do graphics (Python), or proprietary (Pico-8).

The license is LGPL.

Copyright doesn't protect your art against being copied (heh) by other artists.

Artists have always been inspired by each other and copied each other's styles and ideas.
He will probably run unless Erdogan can influence the court of cassation. But he would not have run if not sentenced, because he is not the president of the opposition party (CHP).

Some say government pulled this off (courts follow the orders of Erdogan) to force the hand of the opposition to appoint the Istanbul mayor as presedential candidate. This can cause turmoil within the opposition leaders. Erdogan may be trying to achieve this.

He also tests his power and the public's reaction. If the public cannot react to this and he can influence the court of cassation, he will secure his position as a dictator for life.

He was able to influence the court of cassation in previous cases, however this is a major case. We all hope that his power is not strong enough to influence the high court on this matter by ordering them to approve such a baseless claim.
I worked in a product development consultancy and a few of us decided to build our own escape room as an entry into the company's "startup accelerator". The company was thoroughly unimpressed with that as a money-making prospect and refused to fund it, but by that time we'd gone and tried a couple of local escape rooms ourselves. We found them to be fun but so undeniably crap that we were immediately convinced we could build something ten times more exciting.

Without much more thought than that, we did. One of the older and more financially capable of us decided he could use a bigger shed anyway, and rented a warehouse where we built our first game. We convinced ourselves the route to money making was to automate everything and thus never have to pay game-masters to run things, so I wrote a heap of python to network raspberry pis together and have them listen to and actuate hardware in the rooms. I wrote a DSL so that we could write more or less plain-english "stories" that would make the hardware do things when the players did things, accounting for there being multiple players and the potential for out-of-expected-order actions. We did all of this in a couple of evenings a week over the course of a year or so. We expected to then find the right venue and build this game and a few more there.

I don't entirely remember how but I bumped into someone at a gaming expo who led me to my country's largest entertainment venue company, and they sent a bizdev guy to check us out. Within a couple of years we'd sold them over a dozen rooms and became responsible for a decent percentage of their total revenue, all while taking a reasonable cut. I think I worked a two month period at about three days a week to get our first venue operating, but other than that I held a different full-time job the whole time.

Fast forward another few years and we've survived COVID and have opened our own venue with what is probably the best escape room in the world. Definitely in the top-ten. My co-founder works on the business full-time, along with a few others now. We're still entirely self-funded and are profitable with just this first room. Our next rooms in the venue go pretty-much straight to the bottom line.

---

So to answer the actual question - we just built something that people wanted. And that we wanted to see exist. The first part is bog-standard Paul Graham advice, but the second part is important too. We wanted it to exist so we were motivated to keep at it until it worked. Paraphrasing the common cliché; it's taken us seven-ish years to become an overnight success.

I subscribe to a local community radio which is completely funded by listener subscriptions (but I think they got a nice big injection of cash a couple of decades ago when they sold their 'name' to a commercial station, and they've been able to do a lot with that lump sum over the years).

> He backtracks it because he prioritizes his family's safety. Is that a bad thing in your view?

It's bad that he's seemingly only interested in protecting his own. The moderation he decried as part of the Twitter takeover is often the sort of thing that's protecting others from harms of this nature.

If this helps him turn over a new leaf on the concept of "legal speech can still be dangerous to people and some of it shouldn't be on Twitter", great. I'll believe it if I see it.

> He even tweeted the new policy that tracking people in real-time is not ok.

That new policy is a hastily written ex post facto justification for the action he wanted to take. I think everyone suspects, with good reason, that it'll be inconsistently applied.
> For example, twitter’s former head of trust and safety had to leave his home recently because Musk told his fawning followers that he was a pedophile.

So they're protesting alleged copyright violations in the form of AI copying artistic styles (presuming an artistic style alone rises to the level of copyright protection) by committing trademark violations? Yeah, I don't get it.

Turns out, you should care about both. First of all, his private jet costs as much as a yacht, plus he doesn't own a yacht just because he rents them...

That's a different issue. These games are written to require an online component that Epic are rescinding access to. This isn't about what Epic is selling either, it's about them effectively bricking what they've already sold.

Surely, if the next Stable Diffusion had to be trained from a dataset that has been purged of images that were not under a permissive license, this would at most be a minor setback on AI's road to obsoleting painting that is more craft than art. Do artists not realise this (perhaps because they have some kind of conceit along the lines of "it only can produce good-looking images because it is rearranging pieces of some Real Artists' works it was trained on"), are they hoping to inspire overshoot legislation (perhaps something following the music industry model in several countries: AI-generated images assumed pirated until proven otherwise, with protection money to be paid to an artists' guild?), or is this just a desperate rearguard action?

Yep, you’re right, and I’d say your two extra points are spot on. I’m not a Turk myself, but I have Turkish friends who’re perhaps more on the secular/modernist side, hence my potential bias.

Re: the 2016 coup, I’m still not certain that it was a “legitimate” one, ie not sure that Erdogan wasn’t aware of it in its infancy, and decided to allow it to go through.

As others have said, coups are embedded within Turkish democratic history in one sense (though a coup still cannot be a democratic device), so maybe Erdogan has the political acumen to plan ahead including potential coup attempts.

His utilization of the 2016 coup to strengthen his control was astounding in its speed and accuracy. Perhaps this is what enabled western media to think of it as a planned event on the part of the government?

Does anybody else find the whole AI art generation thing both amazing and incredibly depressing at the same time? I’ve played around with it and it’s lots of fun. But I can also see a deluge of mediocre “content” taking over the internet in the near future. “Real art” will become a niche underground discipline. Most popular music will be AI generated and will have fake performers also generated to go along with it. And most people will be fine with that.

I don’t think “real art” will disappear. People will always want to create (although monetising that will now be exceedingly more difficult).

It feels like we are ripping the humanity out of life on a greater and greater scale with tech. Instead of replacing crappy jobs and freeing up peoples time to enjoy their life, we’re actually automating enjoyable pursuits.
