CTRL+A solves this readability issue easily, but I don't think this (dimming) is the right way treating the comments (HN should just allow sorting like Chronological, most upvoted, basically Reddit sorting since it use reddit tags anyway) and just display everything according user setting. I also don't like flagged comments being collapsed, no matter the reason they are flagged for, anyone/any brigade/bots can hide this way comments they don't like.
For what it’s worth I find their modals relatively unobtrusive and easily dismissed. It’s not great but like you said, they need to make a living.
Imagine you are an artist and you have developed your unique style.

Would you mind if AI starts creating art like yours?

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

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

It’s blatantly obvious that regardless of if it will work or not, they’re trying to get companies with enough money to file law suits to make a move and do so.

> I don’t see the point.

…or you don’t agree with the intent?

I’m fine with that, if so, but you’d to be deliberately trying very hard not to understand what they’re trying to do.

Quite obviously they’re hoping, similar to software that lets you download videos from YouTube, that tools that enable things are bad, not neutral.

Agree / disagree? Who cares. I can’t believe anyone who “doesn’t get it” is being earnest in their response.

Will it make any difference? Well, it may or may not, but there’s a fair precedent of it happening, and bluntly, no one is immune to law suits.
Art has historically always been about copy and improve.

This whole copyright / intellectual property idea is something that unfortunately cropped up in the 20th century, and the fact that it was codified into law is certainly not something 20th century humanity should be proud of or regard as progress.
That probably will never happen because the a lot of developers don't even own 100% of the server software. The original Doom's open source release stripped out the audio library they used and removed calls to it in the source code. Software has gotten a lot more complicated since then.

Like Half-Life 1 is based on idTech, so they would need id/Bethesda/Microsoft's permission. Maybe they could release it under GPL, because idTech grants that license, but that would required everything else in the game would have to be released under GPL too. That would be pretty hard if they used anyone else's proprietary libraries.

Moving onto Half-Life 2, it uses Havok IIRC. A license for that starts at 5 figures.
>>Hated by Perlers and non-Perlers alike

Wrong. Perlers still cheer for it.

But for some reasons it hasn't wide spread adoption yet. We hope to use it some day in production.
is there a tutorial for that?

how much money do we need to burn to remove those two?
Nobody scaled Everest until they were confident they could get back down. The same for the south pole (although that didn't turn out as well as Everest).
Won't work if there are presence monitors.
There are other games in the genre. "The Resistance" and its King Arthur-themed cousin "Avalon" are responsible for a good deal of the revival in popularity of Mafia-style social deduction games. They are both definitively German-safe. I've also had fun with "Two rooms and a boom" in settings with more players.
I'm sure it's easy to write an addon for that.

OpenSpy has similar options for the other Unreal games. Some require patching. Their code is open source and on Github.

The latest Unreal Tournament will soon be gone however, it may never return as it was never finished.
I´m loving the Faster CPython project. Just for a reference, I have a project originally written in (very optimized) Python, that has a Rust module for the demanding path. The Rust version was approximately 150% faster in Python 3.10. In Python 3.11 the gap reduced to 100% faster. This is something incredible as I would prefer to keep it all in Python.
Could you elaborate how that site proves anything? I can create a github page and type "Elon Musk hates all children". Does that also mean it's a proof?

Abolish copyrights. At all. Unrestricted exchange boosts learning curves of societies and benefits everyone in the long run, except a few won't become too rich in the process. There are several downsides attached to that, but I am willing to accept that.
I disagree with that and gave you an upvote :). Everything is not an absolute (Kenobi enters: "Only a Sith deals in absolutes"). If someone always downvotes everything they disagree with and only upvotes things they agree with, I think that approach should be re-thought. Maybe someone proves you wrong, points out a perspective that you disagree with but is valid, give them an upvote.

pg's comment is also from 14 years ago before bots invaded nearly every public forum online possibly manipulating votes/likes to promote various things.
Yeah, and you can't have two people independently playing Animal Crossing in one single household since you have to expose the Switch as a DMZ host with all ports on your provider's NAT IP forwarded to it. If your provider doesn't offer you a publicly routed IP (aka CGNAT), you're completely out of luck being the host for Animal Crossing.

And even worse, the ruddy thing doesn't even speak UPnP, so you have to do everything manually!
The war is not lost. The goal isn't to try to force people to never be able to use AI to generate art, but to force them to only use input that they gave permission to use.

AI replacing artists functionally is just the surface fear. The real problem is using AI as an automated method of copyright laundering. There's only so much hand waving one can do to excuse dumping tons of art that you didn't make into a program and transform it into similar art and pretend like you own it. People like to pretend that it's like a person learning and replicating a style, but it's not. It's a computer program and it's automated. That the process is similar is immaterial.
Rolls Royce, the only company that ever made civilian super-sonic jet engines, for the Concorde, dumped Boom in September. So, it is not tha Boom doesn't have an engine OEM partner. They had, and that partner was not interessted beyond some initial research.
First of all, when you're the CEO of what, 5 companies at the same time? you're probably not working that much. Or being a CEO should be a part time job, 20% of regular working hours.

Secondly:

Twitter is in San Francisco, Neuralink is in San Francisco, Tesla is in Austin, The Boring Company is in an Austin suburb, SpaceX is in the LA metro area.

I'm quite sure there are regular commercial flights each day between Austin, San Francisco and LA.

Let's be real here, he just uses a private jet because it's cool and convenient.

You are correct, at least for US, for reference see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Advertisement_Lou...

Important takeaway from the linked article: "No specific penalties are given"

So there is a regulatory framework and, as the article describes, compliant technical means should be in place for devices sold in the respective market.

The open question is, how will this be applied in practice as well as how will this extend to radio and why not, to online services such as streaming platforms?
>Thus we grant that there's at least one case where speech could be considered violence, can we not consider others that might be involved in causal chains of physical harm?

As a reductio ad absurdum, suppose you and I are medical researchers. We're trying to figure out the best way to treat Disease D. You favor Treatment A, I favor Treatment B. We participate in a public debate defending our respective preferences. Suppose as more data comes in, it becomes abundantly obvious that Treatment B works way better, and Treatment A actually exacerbates Disease D. I acknowledge that reasonable people could've favored Treatment A at the time we had our debate, and you acknowledge that the new data favors Treatment B. Nonetheless, some people in the audience of our debate felt you were persuasive, used Treatment A on their patients, and their patients died. Does that make you a murderer?

The scenario can be progressively modified: Maybe there was recent research showing Treatment B worsens Disease D, but you hadn't read it yet. Maybe you made a mistake in your statistical calculations. Maybe we decide you are a murderer, in which case no one wants to debate medical questions anymore lest they be declared a murderer, and the medical field languishes instead of developing new best practices.

>I should hope it's obvious I don't believe it's as harmful a form of violence as physically harming someone.

To play devil's advocate -- it wasn't obvious to me, and I think people with less context will find it even less obvious. So from the exact point of view you're arguing for -- creating a causal chain to physical harm -- I'd say overusing the word "violence" does have the potential to create harm, through the escalation of antagonism as I described previously.

(BTW, although I think you're mistaken about the use of the word "violence", I would consider your claim to be protected speech, and don't think censorship of your claim is justified -- e.g. if the HN moderator stepped in and deleted your comment, I'd call that an overreach.)

>We use the word violence to describe many remarkably different in nature things

I haven't noticed this.
The new release includes a number of additions, changes and fixes.
He also misrepresented what the thesis was saying in the same tweet, deliberately playing into homophobic tropes associating gay people with pedophilia.
Renting yachts seems like a great mitigation to me. One yacht can service dozens of billionaires' 1-2 week vacations without sitting around in port useless 90% of the time.
The sentence also includes a ban from public positions, so if the courts decision is not overturned by appeals court, he can't legally run.

With elections this close, there is no telling what might happen. If the appeals takes a long time, he can run, be elected, then removed from presidency. Or he might run, but the appeals courts can finalize the decision after the cutoff for candidate applications. Or the appeals court might overturn, and things will go back to "normal".

We can only speculate till the courts makes its final decision.
Considering SpaceX, definitely not.
Yellow Pages - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_pages
Not entirely, but mostly. The Swift tooling is far more reliable, 3 years ago I was getting noticeable code intelligence failures on hobby projects, 1 year ago I wasn’t noticing it during nearly full time professional iOS engineering. SwiftUI previews were still a little dodgy but getting better every release.

As for performance, it’s basically like any other major macOS app now in my experience. Only caveat might be the git committing which was a bit crap still last time I checked.

IntelliJ software still feels like everything takes 100ms longer than I expect, which makes it feel sluggish even if the heavy lifting is relatively fast.

I’m going to be a broken record here: both of the words “artificial” and “intelligent are hellaciously difficult to define, put them together and you’ve got a real epistemological quantum on your hands.

What we’re actually always talking about is “applied computational statistics”, otherwise known as ML.

And if an artist wants to sample from the distribution of beautiful images and painting and photographs as a source of inspiration, why not? We do it in other fields.

But using a computer to sample from that same distribution and adding nothing will be rightly rewarded by nothing.
Have you played Wingspan with serious board gamers?

I find the returns to skill in it are, if anything, greater than in Agricola, which is also one of my favorites.

The tension is all about the competition for a complementary strategy to what your opponents are doing.

Some people just don’t like weakly interactive engine builders, which is a fair objection to it, but it’s quite deep.

One weakness is that the Corvidae are too strong; many experts seem to have converged on either removing them or nerfing them.
We don't actually like freedom here. It's really just a dog-whistle for conservative values.
One thing I’ve realised after ~13 years of using Clojure is that I’ve never used its STM and have never actually seen other code use it. It works, but its usefulness is, to me, questionable.

YMMV of course, nah just be the nature of code I’ve written or looked at.
He did, and it's both impossible and blatantly untrue. I just thought I should make that explicit. It wasn't meant as disagreement.
Requiring open protocols and guaranteed interop are feasible though.
Well it never ended - there was never any formal declaration of an end to hostilities in the Chinese Civil War, and the governments on either side of the strait both constitutionally do not recognise the other, instead seeing themselves as the rightful government of all of China. These are legal facts, the omission of which is reframing of the narrative, building the case for a future US intervention.
Interesting, thank you!

Is RISC-V a direct evolution of the MIPS ISA, or is this compatibility more informal, simply due to similar design goals?
Steam might not be perfect, but compared to any other option I can think of it's not only better, but far, far better.
Ehhh that’s like saying an artist who studies other art pieces and then creates something using combined techniques and styles from those set pieces is what ???? Now liable ???
Which is interesting, considering how he thinks of that time in jail as the birth of his party.
Be happy on social media again
Since Twitter was recently acquired by the wealthiest person on Earth, a 'decentralized' social network called Mastodon became especially popular amongst those willing to replace Twitter by a more sustainable app. This article aims to describe why I strongly believe that Mastodon (as it is today) wont ever be a sustainable and popular (100 M+ daily active users) alternative to social media. Apps based on the groundbreaking Authenticated Transfer (AT) Protocol (e.g, Bluesky) might be the solution we need.
In the early Android days, Dalvik did quite a poor job generating native code, so many math functions went through JNI into native code.

Eventually Dalvik got replaced with ART, Android team started to care about JITing and AOT compilation, and all those native methods got deprecated as JIT/AOT code out of pure Java implementation started to be faster than the cost to jump through FFI infrastructure.
I'm one of those people. But it's mainly various reporters I'm angry at, for misreporting and hyping up the story. I saw none of what you wrote in the news.

And well, this really doesn't seem like a very viable path to a power plant, though I'm all for more fusion research.
Ironically, digging up out-of-context history to disparage someone sounds like a “cancel culture” tactic.

Outside of lawyers, what communities do you think should have an "understanding" of intellectual property law, and to what degree? Or, maybe the fact that it takes a lawyer to truly understand it indicates that the complexity of applicable laws and regulations isn't beneficial to the communities they're ostensibly meant to protect?
It’s not blind hate. People see the man for what he is, a douche bag and a charlatan, and are calling his behavior out. His luck in this world (and he has been incredibly lucky) is irrelevant.
I guess I've eliminated quite a few of them over the years.

The biggest one remaining is probably matrix-synapse.
Ah ok. Well if that's the case then that's correct, fputc does operate on octets right? The only reason it returns an int is to distingush EOF AFAIK. To be honest I found the article hard to follow.
> it appears that overall the majority of rail union workers voted to approve the contract

Yes, this was actually discussed in the article:

"In the BLET, the second-largest union involved in negotiations, members ratified a deal, but many members were unhappy with the outcome. In an interview, Hall said his election spoke to rank-and-file frustrations that leadership failed to listen to the membership throughout the negotiations."

> I suppose Biden should have just broken out his Green Lantern power ring and willed ten or so recalcitrant Senate Republicans to support more pro-labor legislation

This completely missed my point, which is that the filibuster can be abolished at any time. It's a self-imposed constraint.

The ultimate irony is that the filibuster can be abolished with a simple majority vote. It's just a stupid senate rule.

In one project I have with a few hundred tests, after updating to Python 3.11 I noticed my test suite's runtime speed got faster by about 8-10%. That's using pytest in a Flask app where most tests are doing "real'ish" things like visiting one of the site's endpoints using the Flask test client and accessing Postgres. Not bad at all for a 1 line change.

Agreed. Surely the workers would have gotten together on their own, pooled their resources and achieved at least as much as they have if it weren't for Musk.

Seriously, this is just blind hate. He's a deeply flawed individual and I definitely think he's a jerk, but he's at least he's taking risk on creating something actually new.

The richest people I know made money on "safe" industries like civil engineering and plastic bag manufacturing.

Pushing the aerospace industry? Challenging the petrol status quo by making EVs viable? Credit where credit is due, he put in the investment and pushed people to make it happen. Obviously not single handedly, but surely accelerated it.
I've seen several of these cost breakdowns for SaaS sites, but none for ad-supported websites.

Difference between the two is basically, ad supported sites need a lot of users that don't pay for anything but contribute by viewing ads where you don't need much marketing/ad spend.
And SaaS most of your costs is going to be acquiring new users, as the service itself is very high profit margin.

Hope you find it helpful.

Near future? The internet is cesspool of mediocre and terrible content already. AI is going to have an impact on art and everything else in general. Artists may (and likely will be forced) to adapt to/adopt its use.
If you think about how much content we're already getting from mediocre artists and writers, how many tv shows are complete garbage, how much governments and corporations are promoting and trolling in online discussions, how many search results are already ruined by lazy copied content, it's difficult to see things getting orders of magnitude worse.

Good stuff will still be good stuff, and it will keep being rare. The biggest change will be that producing mediocre content will be cheaper and more accessible, but we're already drowning in it, so .. meh?

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

That's an interesting observation.
I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Elon.

BUT that's some extremely bitter irony he experienced. He was proud to describe himself as a "free speech absolutist", meaning he's ready to allow controversial, offensive discussions that are on the limit of legality. He even said he will allow this jet tracker bot, to show what a cool guy he is. But now reality happened for him and he probably expected reality only applies to other people.
If you do need permission, is Page Rank a copyright infringing AI, or just a sparkling matrix multiplication derived entirely from everyone else's work?
the only two facts on the article says yes. why the question title?!
Adding to the "Too many of the good things he’s done seem to be despite him." - there was this tumblr post that passed by here on HN by someone who claimed to've been an intern on Space-X:

https://www.tumblr.com/numberonecatwinner/701567544684855296...

I never understood the point of the cake story, and it all might be total BS, but the longer this current saga goes on the harder it is to totally disregard the bit about "managing Elon".
That's just one side of the story. While the success of Fortnite definitely played a part of the cancellation, no one really cared about the Unreal Tournament reboot. It got no traction at all. The game was playable but had no players. And while there was a big interest of a small group, it got no interest outside of that group. I think that even if Fortnite wouldn't have been as big as it is, Unreal had no chance because the gaming demographic changed and there is no demand for a game like UT anymore.
We had "local build servers" at one of my previous jobs. Those servers - normal towers, not racks - would communicate they are working on some job by opening CD Drives.
but i guess that's the point, you have to have the breadboard and components first. If in a stitch, maybe this would do for that moment.
> There is no one single entity with enough power to clearly oppose it so people making the models can get away with "questionable copyright", "legal gray area", etc. kind of talk.

Never underestimate the power of a sufficiently motivated rich individual to create legal hell (see Gawker). There are many very rich artists. There just needs to be an obvious large enough irritant which will happen as these generative models start getting used beyond toy amusements. The class action lawsuit against Copilot was filed just as pricing models started.

This is going to be an interesting area to watch. Use in commercial projects at your own risk of exposure to liability.
Worser still, some actively patch_destroy their own older games that have a more active community (due to superior game balance, less monetization etc.) to drive growth towards the new game.
We really need to move towards self-hosted content, self-hosted social media, etc, instead of surrendering ourselves to arbitrarily-run walled gardens.
