Because riffs aren't ideas, they're expressions of ideas. This seems pretty obvious? The concept of a riff is not copyrighted, but a specific one apparently can be. Obviously copyright overreach is a problem today, but you're attacking the wrong problem. Musical works can be plagiarized by other musicians and it does happen, sometimes by accident (due to modern technology and attribution problems), sometimes on purpose.

The developer of a notable mobile game had to pull some music from their title a couple years ago because the composer they hired blatantly plagiarized some other works, for example.
Maybe we're already seeing this. Seems like people would rather join a cult than not feel useful. Taking handouts from the man... er... machine and free time for hobbies probably isn't going to do it.

Feeling useful could turn out to be part of basic human dignity.
Totally agree. I’d also say it paints yourself in a bad way since you’re showing you aren’t willing to work through your differences with Alice. No free lunch, but if you’re already committed to this approach the least you could do is be supportive of your colleagues even when you’re unwilling to work with them.
> unvaccinated people are more likely to be infected and become a vector for the virus

I've read conflicting accounts of whether that's true or false, but even if it is - what difference does it make? We're not going to reach heard immunity here. Everybody's going to get it, several times throughout their lives, no matter what we do at this point.
The title should be: Olin Shivers on why Common Lisp doesn't suck [1986]
I’ve been using Go for 7’ish years across a large codebase, comprising multiple services interacting with millions of people.

Every release Go gets better and requires 0 changes to the code. I have never needed to fine-tune the GC. I have never needed to spend a month rewriting my code to work with Go 2.0. I have never been nervous to update to a new Go version. I write the code once, and it runs great in prod for years. I love and value these things. I also suspect that Lichess’s use case would perform extremely well in Go out-of-the-box, since it’s just a web app.

I certainly hope the JVM team would like Lichess and other web apps to run well without needing arcane configuration knowledge gathered over years of experience and battle scars in production.
It's fine if it doesn't fulfill all use cases, but demonstrating any thought to some of them would help flesh out the details of what's being proposed.

Are you building a social network, or a chain of trust?

The lipid nanoparticle itself is basically a cell wall and it fuses with your cell wall and deploys its payload. There isn't a lot there. It isn't like the adenovirus capsid that binds to PF-4 and causes the clotting disorders in J&J and ChAdOx1. It would have to be something related to ALC-0315 and/or ALC-0159 and be active in the very tiny quantities which are administered. Those are lipids and it is most likely that they're eventually just disassembled.

> One might imagine that such cells would be targeted to at some some extent by CD8+ T cells that learn to recognize spike protein.

This is exactly what we want to see happen, and you're going to get CD8+ T-cells from the virus as well (and if you don't, then you're going to get very extremely ill).

The tissue distribution is a reasonably good point, but that should be considered in light of the evidence that the virus itself likes to hide out in places like the gut and that liver and gut activation after vaccination may be protective. And if that argument is wrong, that would be an argument to try to produce nasal mRNA vaccines.

And at this point we do have a really massive amount of data on the safety and efficacy of the mRNA vaccines and we're having to sift the data very closely to find effects lower than one in million. Other vaccines perform worse. I think it probably is because we're getting closer and closer to minimalism.
I don't think my comment was inflammatory in any way, I was just observing a fact. English is not my first language, and my English teacher was a pretty grumpy Frenchman.

If you open the article you will find this as the 4th paragraph:

> So, a lengthy discussion began about what to do instead. Earlier this summer, the CSSWG debated between Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3. Of those, Option 3 won. Since then, two more options have been proposed, Option 4 and Option 5. If you remember various details discussed across 53+ issues, put all of those older ideas aside. At this point, we are only debating between Option 3, 4 and 5, as described in this article through the set of examples below.
No, but it is annoying and when in a debate it tries to distract and/or claim some kind of familiarity or higher ground.
I have one 3d printer that ca. Do dimensionally accurate parts as long as they're smaller than ~50mm all dimensions.

With the most fine settings the slicer will do, it's within 20 microns in all dimensions, and usually it's so accurate my calipers show no error at all, which puts the error either under 5 microns or 1 micron, I forget.

The biggest issue with PLA is it shrinks a bit, so a perfect print is usually about 102%ish of the drawing size; the slicer manages all of that, though.
I believe you -- in the large village where I grew up there was some daft division between having a 5-digit area code for a nearby town rather than the (nearer) large city's 4-digit code, and (along roughly the same lines) having <Town, Countyshire> as your official address rather than <Large city>.

But it seems odd for London, when there are plenty of posh areas in outer London, and run-down areas of inner London. Maybe it was more for businesses to appear 'central'?
The ability to afford to do those activities could be lost. Automation pulls the value previously created by many humans and concentrates it to those who create/maintain the system. As that list of needed people shrinks, so too does the probability of a person being able to create meaningful value.
I don't see why that's an obstacle that can't be overcome in the very near future, given current rates of progress.

"Institutions that can weather the storm" like Google? Like Facebook? Amazon?

The entire industry has had layoffs, regardless of size. In fact, in my experience there's plenty of startups that are still growing and hiring the laid off talent from the big institutions. Apollo was not one of those companies, but it doesn't seem like it being a startup had any impact.

The implicit part of the automation discussion is always: the current economic system is not the point and can evolve.

If we don’t assume that, then there is never any useful conversation possible on this topic. We end up with the ridiculous “we need jobs because that’s what we do!”

Which leads to another NIMBYism that I see when this conversation is had: “some generations will have to suffer through the friction of an economic revolution but not MY generation.” I think we need to be prepared that there’s always a chance that we get to be one of those generations.

You’re right that there’s a self-interest there. It makes it almost a good thing that engineers are far too interested in the means rather than the ends.
What's the threshold you can copyright? 9 notes? 16? Why is that the threshold and not 8?

I may not agree that it should be 8, but I don't see any rigorous or well-reasoned model here to explain why "you can copyright 8 notes" is a festering disease when it seems like people are not reasoning through why something should or shouldn't be copyrightable.

Yeah sure, I just mean that it is like the step from COBOL -> JAVA -> Python in terms of productivity and the amount of code you write. So my point is, you would write much much less code. So maybe your future "code" would be just some sets of well placed comments and the AI does the rest. The same way you could test the system to prevent any major fuck ups. Sure you have to undestand it, but your core skill wouldn't be coding any more.
It's a bit tiresome having people demand you demonstrate empathy in every single post. Do you truly want everyone typing up a paragraph of how sad they are in every comment? It won't actually help anything.

Halo infinite failed because literally half of it's content was garbage. A bunch of new guns, most of which sucked, a bunch of new maps, that weren't impressive, and genuinely game modes that were so boring and bad, my friends and I gamed them to get them over in a couple minutes instead of the normal 30 minutes it would take to play out.

It was also really glitchy, really poorly optimized, and full of GARBAGE microtransactions. It was like multiple tens of dollars for a different set of armor, while previous halo games arguably pushed cosmetics as an awesome thing and an actual status symbol because you couldn't buy them, only unlock by completing challenges.

> For it to be a reasonable choice to not want to take the vaccine wouldn't you need to balance the risk of death / complications from the vaccine against the risk of death / complications from covid multiplied by the risk of getting covid?

That would not be a correct comparison, because the vaccine does not prevent you from getting covid. The risks to balance are:

A) The risk of myocarditis and other fatal and non-fatal side-effects from the vaccine, TIMES how many times you get the vaccine, PLUS the cumulative risks of COVID infections over time (which you can get despite being "vaccinated").
B) Just the risks of COVID infections over time.

A is strictly more dangerous than B no matter what the risks of COVID are. Every comment saying, "oh but COVID can cause X risk of death and Y risk of myocarditis and blah blah blah" is completely irrelevant, because all of these risks accrue just as much to the vaccinated. Even if the vaccine is, say, 15% effective, which is very generous given the evidence, then that means that if the risks of the vaccine are 15% as much as the risks of COVID, then (A) is still more dangerous. The risks of the vaccine are more than 15% the risks of COVID, as the evidence is piling up.

Then there's the little fact that the vaccinated are slightly more likely to be reinfected with COVID than the unvaccinated. But the studies on this are still being suppressed, so you can do the math without it and still come up with vaccination being more dangerous for much of the population.
OBS is heavily architected around plugins, many of the built-in features including FTL output are plugins, so even if it is removed it would likely be possible to turn FTL support into a separate plugin that users can install. For reference the FTL code is in the plugin called obs-outputs (part of the main OBS repo). The only real limitation I know of is that it is likely not possible to make the UI exactly the same as it currently is.
What is wrong with the ecosystem?

The only issue as far as I can tell is that many platforms are not supported by LLVM, but given that GCC now has a rust frontend (without the borrow checker), I don't see why plain old rustc can't be used to verify semantics and the gcc front-end to compile for other platforms.

I don't understand your response, maybe I should clarify my comment. What I'm saying is there has historically been a fair amount of animosity and mean hearted banter between engineer types and artistic types. Particularly, artists sharing and promoting negative stereotypes about engineers. Claims that engineers are antisocial, can't design interfaces for 'real people', etc. Now that the fruit of engineering labor has threatened artists, it doesn't surprise me that engineers have little sympathy for the artists.
> Some users think of the algorithm as a divine force that guides them

Very easy to enter an echo chamber and go down rabbit-holes you shouldn't really be going down. If it picks up you like videos about depression or eating disorders, prepare to get brainwashed and not even be able to process those videos properly.

> A central challenge for any recommendation algorithm is the tradeoff between safe but somewhat boring recommendations that are similar to recommendations that worked well in the past

And this just makes the platform gameable. So many videos with their intro as 'Wait to the end' or building up tension just to get engagement or snarky replies, giving the illusion the video is popular but it's wildly unlikeable.
So who's that mythical artist that hasn't seen and learned from the works of other artists? After all, these works will have left an imprint in their neural connections, so by the same argument their works are just as derivative, or "stolen".
> While I think it is certainly fair to talk about the policies of other countries, I don't think just because another country has a different policy necessarily dictates that policy is better or worse.

Sure. But if a person is aware that other countries have different policies, that gives them a legitimate reason to question whether the policy of their own country is correct. If a person looks into the matter, and decides not to follow the recommendations of their own government, because they think some other country's government is more likely to have got it right, such a person isn't necessarily being irrational/irresponsible/etc, nor would it necessarily be irrational/irresponsible/etc for them to share their conclusion with others.

> and conflate that it means that Denmark doesn't think vaccines were ever beneficial to people under the age of 50 (which is the leap in logic you often see on anti-vax sites)

Yes, many people do seem to conflate these two claims:

(1) "for healthy children and young people, the safety risk of additional doses of the vaccine currently outweighs the risk of COVID-19"

(2) "for healthy children and young people, the safety risk of any dose of the vaccine has always outweighed the risk of COVID-19"

While claim (1) is disputed, some highly respected medical experts agree with it; the same cannot be said for claim (2).

However, I think this conflation goes in both directions – some people who want to defend (2) do so by conflating it with (1); but conversely, some people attack (1) by conflating it with (2).

Some people can't distinguish reasonable scepticism about vaccinations from unreasonable scepticism.

> Honestly though, Google and Amazon being involved make me less interested in it. It pretty much guarantees requiring a cloud connection.

1. Except the spec says otherwise...

Matter is basically a reworked Zigbee-over-IP with a special "we think you should use Thread" push. The spec (which is public), requires devices to work over LAN, but provides an escape for devices to have extra proprietary functionalities that aren't in spec. It doesn't require LAN-only, but it is "at least LAN".

The spec is based off HomeKit's networking model (IP based + mDNS discovery) with a data model closer to Zigbee's (binary format, device node/trait/tree). Its design-by-committee so you have lots of features, some of which expect a cloud (ability for devices to upload logs) and some which don't (general device control). Almost none should require a specific cloud (eg. OTAs can come from any hub, signed by manufacturer, logs can be uploaded to any hub's cloud).

You should be able to run any hub/voice-assistant/controller you want. Apple HomePods should allow most cloud-free control for a major company's product, while something like HomeAssistant will allow complete OS self-hosted control.

2. Google and Amazon obviously have cloud interfaces, but both also already allow LAN-control of smarthome devices already, and that will accelerate as they push into matter.

This will help them lower cloud hosting costs themselves (which is a major expense, see Alexa layoffs). Amazon seems less committed to Matter, but Google was one of the major matter contributors (along with Apple), and "donated" a bunch of IP to get it working (eg thread). Most companies will probably push for LAN control due to latency/UX impacts, especially since the can still gather out-of-band performance metrics via hubs.

Alexa and Google Assistant are starting to move to on-device NLU and processing, so cloud-phobia or aversion is likely not going to be a major problem in a few years.

You forgot to add in the risks of getting COVID and being vaccinated. Every time anyone "does the math" on this somehow they count the vaccine as having 100% efficacy, which is an obvious lie.

Also, if you choose to get the vaccine, then the multiplier for vaccine risks isn't 1, it's 2, or 4, or 6, however many times you get the vaccine.
I'd add that the overwhelming majority of ML stuff (including "classic"), run in C++ (+cuda), or C or Fortran.

Ecto life – the world's first artificial womb facility
This is a good opportunity to offer another tip that I don't see mentioned super-often on these threads: keep logs/records of your performance, so you can look back at how your life/habits have changed over time.

Most habits form gradually and it can be hard to see them taking effect, and that can be really demotivating. For me, being able to look back at photos of what my house used to look like and being able to go over some of my old sprint logs is sometimes a good way to combat these kinds of brain worms and to get a sense of the general direction I'm headed and what progress I've made.

The first rule of social network is that it's useless without many people on it, and there has to be some hook to get them in. But you won't figure that out just by thinking about it and imagining how people will behave. In practice it's a billion subtle factors which you can't reason about without a tangible product that people are interacting with.
