It's far less general than the headline suggests, to the point of it being misleading:

The human behind the AI did insist that they had absolutely no part in creating the image, and the decision is taking that at face value. No human creator - no copyright. Since it's purely based on their input, it also doesn't look at questions like "was the AI created using input material that's copyrighted and might that have relevance"

It has zero applicability on "AI art"/code/text/... created by a human using an "AI" as a tool to do so.

But somehow this gets paraded around every few months as being some important decision...

Emacs definitely doesn't have a low barrier. How many people know LISP in the first place?

> All Emacs users I have met though were quite fanatical in customizing the editor.

Indeed, and that's the bias of the poll, too. So emacs has a problem getting people on-board. I got into emacs via a Symbolics. It was great, back then, but it's such a specific combination of skills, and the user experience of emacs is completely outdone by e.g. VSCode. Add to that that most devs nowadays have a very shallow technical understanding, and emacs seems to be cornered in a niche. The only opportunity I see for it to come back is when the terminal interface becomes fashionable again.
There are certainly improvements to be made, but people seem to largely figure it out.

I'll note that if you click "Create Account" on mastodon.social at the moment on desktop, it shows a modal that explains that you can interact no matter which Mastodon server you sign up on, then shows a "On this server" explaining mastodon.social is currently closed for signups, reminds people that they don't need an account on mastodon.social to use mastodon, then a "On a different server" header that explains that you can create an account on a different server, with a big blue "Find another server" button taking you to joinmastodon.org/server.

I'm sure this still confuses some people (and more confusingly, if you narrow the window enough the "create account" button takes you straight to the link above without explanation; that doesn't seem like great UX), and I'd love to see tweaks to make it better, but the above seemed odd to me, not least because it doesn't seem like they've tried the regular registration flow, so I have no clue what it is they actually did. It seems maybe they've clicked the "Learn more" link, given the description about a "wall of text" about what they can't do?

> So I can spend some time preparing this DNS configuration and then writing simple cronjob to fetch certificate every day and restart apache.

> That would be vastly superior to current certbot horror and as secure.

Have you looked at Apache's mod_md, which allows you to integrate with ACME providers without certbot?

Here's the documentation, it's available since Apache 2.4.30: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_md.html

Configuration example from the docs:

MDomain example.org

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.org
DocumentRoot htdocs/a

SSLEngine on
# no certificates specification
</VirtualHost>

(you do need restarts/reloads to actually apply the provisioned certificates though, that part is up to you; I do it approx. daily since the startup is fast enough to not cause lots of downtime)

I actually wrote a blog post about using Apache for that and other things, and moved my personal workloads over to it (still using Nginx and other servers at work): https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/how-and-why-to-use-apache-...

In short, in addition to having lots of useful modules, Apache has recently gotten the aforementioned ACME functionality, which makes it a bit more easy to use, like how web servers like Caddy also have "automatic HTTPS" functionality: https://caddyserver.com/

I'm yet to find a good self-hosted WAF solution, since mod_security doesn't seem popular or documented enough, even though it is better than nothing.
I was wondering the same. If you can feed a bunch of code into an AI and then use the generated code that's basically like a money mixer. Do you get to decompile things then and then feed them with existing code into an AI? Can you reuse the leaked Microsoft code when you mix it with other code into a dataset? Can a third party do it and you claim ignorance when you use it?
I think private CAs are a mistake if only because of all the time wasted on certificate errors from improperly configured platforms. Don't forget that some languages don't respect system stores.

What about trapping?
Things is, with time you will learn a bit of elisp by osmosis, if anything else by copy-pasting bits from the 'net and then playing around with it. So it is not very surprising that many emacs users know a bit of elisp.

10% being plugin authors is a bit surprising to me and it is possible that the survey is somehow skewed.

The "Create Account" button does indeed let you create a Mastodon account. Just not on mastodon.social. I can't seem to reconcile your description with what happens when you press that button, though.
I love it, because the ESP32 is more powerful than this little one,

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC1512

Many folks don't have a real perception of how powerful these little computers happen to be.

Although not the same, everything from around MS-DOS 3.3 - 5.0 time that could fit onto 512KB would be a possible application, plus the extra cores and connectivity options.
Notably absent: any thoughts on being reliant on the United States :-)
At this time, I would not agree. That's because AI is literally knocking at the door for many use-cases and we haven't evolved with it yet(especially education). That will likely take another decade at this rate.

I believe the same reliance on Stack Overflow or Google for the most basic answers make people lazy and more impatient. This cheats people out of the process where you typically have these insights for wisdom. The AI also will not get "better" because it's capped at our collective understanding. Which fewer and fewer people will even contribute towards due to new AI-assisted habits.

Only time will tell if it makes people "better". There's no doubt it will be helpful and useful in many settings, especially in education. But this over-reliance makes you only as good as your tool. Which is what my original comment was trying to say.

Wow this is a seriously important ruling.

The law moves slow but technology is moving fast. AI generated art is a curiousity now but will be the majority of all art produced (by at least some measures) in a few short years.

This makes a precedent that could dramatically shift the balance of power between corporate creators of commercial works and the general public.
Musk comically overpaid for Twitter and can do anything he wants with it. My (and I think most peoples) problem is the hypocrisy displayed by Musk and his sycophants. I would respect Musk a bit if he dropped the free speech charade and simply said it's his playground and he'll do whatever he wants.

I don't think YouTube has ever claimed to be a public town square or a desire for free speech absolutism.
I think you are more correct than I am on this. There is some mechanism that attempts to prevent the private key from being exposable when going from device to device, but how exactly does it work? You could imagine the trust chain working by taking device 2 and encrypting the private key with its public key. But I can’t see any truely secure mechanism for cloud backup that doesn’t involve “please trust me”. I suppose the trusted compute environment may refuse to expose the key without a verified public key chained back to an embedded list of authorities (to encrypt the key). Still, that would be relying on trusting Google/Apple. (Stops the hacker who has your device, but doesn’t stop the gov who can legislate stuff for Google to do). I should dig some more to figure out exactly what they are doing.

Well, for starters, it hasn’t published unsubstantiated claims about some countries having WMDs and advocating going to war over them.
It is legal to kill pest animals in Canada. Prairie dogs are a good example. Unfortunately geese are a protected species due to a 1918 law, so no, any hunting or killing is a federal crime and subject to fines.

Update: Hunting in designated areas is permitted if a license is obtained [1].

The entire field of psychology is about dubious social-oriented decisions and classifying them (hoping that by classifying them, we can gain insights into how to improve behavior).

The kinds of dubious social-oriented decisions associated with Asperger's does _NOT_ match what Elon Musk is doing. What he is doing is closer to narcissistic personality disorder and/or sociopathic personality disorder.

Q) Where do you hide a tree? A) In a forest.

While I applaud the release of the information, the sudden and massive release of meaningless drivel likely hides a few smoking guns amongst the +13k files.

It will take a dedicated person many years to go through all of the files and follow / research all of the mentions within mentions only to come up against the wall of [redacted] and then to file freedom of information requests that may or may not ever succeed and by that time the impact will be so diluted that we may never know the full truth of what happened on that day.

The whole time there remains the question about how many shots were fired and from where the ultimate answer to the question will remain shrouded in mystery. After all this time there is no valid reason to withold any documents and yet, many still are due to ‘National Security’ considerations.

What possible national security issues remain so many years afterwards?
Being a dick doesn't disqualify you from being on the spectrum.

Anecdotally, from the Aspergous people I know, they and Elon share a certain kind of body language you pick up on over time. It's a slight fidgeting as if clothes are constantly uncomfortable (likely due to constant stimulation).
> but I also know people who are bipolar. Anti-semitism is _NOT_ on the list of symptoms.

Obsessing over some socially unacceptable idea absolutely can be a manifestation of bipolar disorder for some people. Especially when one considers that bipolar can sometimes be associated with psychosis, and obsessive antisemitic/racist/etc thoughts are not uncommon in people with psychosis (famous example: Terry Davis, who I think actually even had a bipolar diagnosis at one point - it is common for people to initially be diagnosed with bipolar before eventually getting a schizophrenia or schizoaffective diagnosis as the psychotic symptoms become more prominent and enduring).

Kanye’s antisemitism is wrong and reprehensible. I can’t tell to what extent it is a symptom of his mental health problems, and I don’t think you really can either: neither of us is a mental health professional, and he is not our patient/client. But simply looking at a list of symptoms, and saying “X is not on it”, is a very ignorant way to approach the topic. Even if his antisemitism is partially due to his bipolar, that doesn’t mean he should just be allowed to get away with it, just like how a bipolar person who commits a crime in a manic state (sometimes happens) doesn’t just get away with it, although it may be appropriate to take that into account as a mitigating factor (as opposed to a “get out of jail free” card)

Similarly, I have no idea whether Musk has ASD. But ASD absolutely can make some people behave in a way which others perceive as being an “asshole”, so if he does have it, those behaviours could well in part be contributed to by it. That’s not saying that everyone with ASD is an “asshole”, or that a person with ASD has no responsibility to try their best to adjust to meet society’s expectations - but isn’t it obvious that a disorder whose symptoms can include difficulty thinking about social situations or understanding social rules, obliviousness to the thoughts and feelings of others, unusual obsessions, etc, can sometimes lead people to behave in ways perceived by others as being an “asshole”, even a failure to adjust one’s behaviour in response to that feedback?

It's not my redefinition, it's literally the definition the other poster provided which they discovered via Google, and the application of that definition matches how thousands of tech and laypeople are using it in this conversation, and how the media is covering it. But, you do you.

Finally, I'm not sure where your ability to surmise my emotional state based only on text comes from, but I think it needs some tuning.
At the international level, it is debate-able. It depends on the goodwill nations have towards one another.
At the individual and family level though, atomization is incredibly destructive to culture and community. Reliance on others is needed more than ever. To be absolutely independent, is to be without love (given or received). Family, community, and nation cannot exist without love — it is the vital glue that holds it all together and makes it worth holding together. Arguably if this was healthy at the local and national level, it makes sense then to extend it internationally as well.
Criticism is very different from propaganda.

I am a former Tesla fan and remain a SpaceX fan. I hold Tesla stock and I would buy SpaceX stock in a hot minute if I could. And I credit Musk in no small part with making both companies what they are today, the good and the bad, although not nearly as much as Musk credits Musk.

And yet with all of that, I still think he's gone off the deep end. I've voted against him as CEO in the past several shareholders' votes. Defending his recent actions and attitudes at this point is an increasingly untenable position.

If you want to stand in his corner, I suppose that's your choice, but being critical of him is the far more defensible position. Claiming that those who do are all sock puppets is frankly disingenuous.

Websites don’t create extremists. Broken social structures and fabrics create extremists.

No amount of 4chan posts will cause a healthy person to become a violent extremist. And no amount of censorship can stop the rise of extremism. It can at best impact the precise expression of it. It won’t stop people from committing acts of violence or believing insane ideologies, it will just change the content of their manifesto. At worst it can accelerate their rise, as extremists become further convinced society is unjustly persecuting them.

I don't think that emacs need to cater to those with very shallow understanding [1] to survive. It has prospered for decades in its niche and I think it is perfectly fine like this. The percentage of developers that use it might shrink, but the absolute numbers are very likely going up.

[1] mind, I don't think that emacs requires very deep understanding either, but I might be overestimating the average programmer.
At one point I tried creating what is Notion/Obsidian style system in 2013. I called it "living documents".

here's one of the last surviving screenshots of living documents version 1.

https://github.com/samsquire/interface-experiments/blob/mast...

The system accepted RDF N3 triples and it queried Jena Fuseki database to render graphs with d3. You could introduce facts into the system with the three boxes at the top. if you changed them, they would autocomplete and change the graph view. You could insert references or links into the document by typing them. (not shown in the screenshot)

I have the code trapped in a JSBIN SQLite file. It's somewhere in here https://github.com/samsquire/jsbin It uses KnockoutJS.

Living documents v2 has a screen cast of it here https://github.com/samsquire/live-interface/blob/master/scre...
I believe the shareable and transcluding features of Notion or Obsidian are similar.
The screencast shows transclusion and programming language syntax detection with a beyesian classifier - the arbitrary insertion of documents into other documents and they all update in real time. It uses Pouch (and CouchDB) to synchronize data between tabs. It's written in AngularJs 1 so it's legacy and I couldn't get it working when I tried to get the code working.

Similar to this long README.md, my note keeping strategy is similarly to create GitHub repositories and edit README.md. In the top right of a GitHub README.md is a table of contents button which is only displayed as an icon. You can even search the headings. When I get to 100-500 entries I create a new repository and add a number to the repository name. This means I can share my journal whenever I get to a milestone and people can check for updates since my last journal by going to the next numbered journal. (For example, I shared "ideas" on HN in 2013 but shares of ideas2 ideas3 and ideas4 are yet to be shared around properly. The titles are all pretty similar.)

I keep my notes and journal in the open and public. My old wikidpad based wiki (samsquire/idea-wiki) is publically accessible on GitHub and my journal of 700 entries is available on GitHub.

I write in the open to add value. I am deeply interested in the mechanism of doing things and when it comes to code I am more interested in the structure of the code than the types. I write about futuristic software, architecture and desktop features, multithreading, parallelism, asynchrony and concurrency. I am currently working on a multithreaded programming language which has its own compiler that targets my switch based interpreter. It is a toy at this time but that's what my journal is filled with inspiration from.

I write about what I'm doing and what I plan to do and any thoughts I have along the way.
It was greenwashing if I remember correctly. They had to do ‘water credits’ to improve watersheds elsewhere in AZ, which they used to claim they were doing good things in the area they were in. When really, they weren’t.

4chan being public, it's very easy to survey, even automatically.

Either the mass killing didn't really originate from it, or it did, and the authorities never acted on the very easy to find messages to prevent it.

So either we just rewrite history, linking the horror to something easy to blame, in which case the medias are not doing their job, or the authorities pretend something that is both easy to access and out of their control, in which case they are not doing their job. In all cases, somebody is either incompetent or dishonest.

But as a concerned citizen, I think having a honey pot such as 4chan should be considered a national security asset.

Of course, it's likely this has nothing to do with 4chan, and everything to do with people needing an easy answer to a complicated problem, or scapegoat.
Legal matters don't exist in a vacuum. Short answer is: yes you can do all of those things. But some of them might land you in hot water if done in the context of a contract. Copyright is not absolute, it's about what potential claims people might have.
