I suppose the working model for this is if I created a website that generated art using AI, I don't own any copyright to the images produced.

I would expect if I used such software a number of times, and chose the one I liked the best, I could claim copyright over that image.

I wonder if there were any rulings over images of the mandlebrot set that would clarify it.
Not to be too pedantic but wouldn't that fall under the questioner's definition of fiddling with knobs?

I mean, if you have to point the camera, and set the fstop or set photo vs pano, or even just set the flash or what have you, aren't you kind of key to generating that image? (Even though you generated it with the press of the button.) I mean, if the human didn't point the camera and set the settings, it would be a different picture even if someone did push the button on a camera that was just sitting on a table say.
While there is certainly some truth and wisdom to this view, it also worries me. I see the increasing globalization and interdependence of the modern world as one of the major reasons for the decrease in armed conflicts. You are a lot less likely to attack someone who is a trade partner.

There is a saying that “there has never been an armed conflict between two nations that both had a McDonald’s”. Russia has broken that, but that is case where the exception proves the rule. Russia has been devastated by the repercussions of their choice to invade Ukraine. And Europe is suffering due to the lack of oil and natural gas.

I fear a world where nations are not reliant on each other is going to be less peaceful. That being said, the memo specifically calls out relations with China, which is a country that is dangerous to have too much reliance on, due to also being run by an absolute dictatorship.
Your link is about showing or hiding the search box.

The question is about keeping the search box and hiding the search label.
Europe has been war torn for thousands of years, then post ww2 we got a long lasting peace. Turns out a side effect of the union is that you are less likely to want to shoot someone who is buying your goods!
I was replying to the comment, "you aren't going to form a coalition with parties radically different than yours."

But yes, it seems politics world-wide, the US certainly included, is increasingly more about personality, affect and identity/community -- and sheer competition for power between different players -- than it is about policy platform, agreed. Sometimes between parties which are actually not that different from each other. I think we may be agreeing with each other.

I think the reason that a "national unity" coalition government in Israel seems so unlikely currently may not in fact be that the major parties "are radically different from each other". (The coalitions formed may be, because of the outsized influence of minority parties on the flanks necessary to build the coalition, which is the whole topic of this thread -- why don't the major parties form a coalition to avoid that? I suggest the reason they don't is not that they are radically different from each other, disagreeing with the comment I was replying to)
Good point. Polymorphic code that doesn't reduce to an unboxed float representation can be slower because of the boxing, but I don't think such code is very common exactly for this reason. I wonder if OCaml developers have tried NaN-boxing to see how it would impact performance.
Why not? There are plenty of RPi enclosures that will bridge to USB and hold the SSD for you. For me, the cost of an RPi 8gb + enclosure + ssd + power is now close to the micro intel boxes.
No you can’t. The label, not the search box.
Obligatory: I am not Mr. Lague, just a fellow zoomer.

There was a post yesterday "Ask HN: How do you protect your children from internet addiction?" [1]

As a Gen Z in university who has grown up with YouTube etc., I saw a lot misconceptions of our experience. I have one piece of advice: Please, please, Give your child a personal computer. And nothing else. As early as possible.

Computers are not dopamine machines. TikTok and Snapchat barely exist for the computer, and only in web apps. Elementary schoolers, the hacker news hivemeind often complains, don't understand the concept of file folders––it's because files don't exist on iPads.

7.6 billion people own smartphones [2], 3.5 billion people own computers [3]. Personal Computers are a specialized developer tool! If you don't think that, it's because all your friends are one (or a couple) standard deviation(s) more technical than Joe Average. Gen Z is not computer native, we're iPad natives.

We grew up in a walled garden. You grew up in the Wild West. Computers are work tools for us. Actually, it's worse than that, schools have these walls too. Thanks for making Chrome OS, the cloud, and online exams. We don't need computer labs anymore! /s And so we are natives to a higher level in the tech stack.

Smart kids will figure out how to do stuff if they are on a tool that does stuff––especially if they can't use a phone. Want to use a phone game? Learn how to run an emulator. Ask mom or dad (an expert from hacker news) if you get a virus. But kids aren't using these devices.

There will never be a shortage of developers because one developer can serve so many people, and there will always be enough geeks who stumble onto a computer. Giving your kid a computer (and just a computer) will not make them the next Aaron Swartz. But give her a fighting chance! At the very least he will be computer literate. And the literati have always been an elite class.

Coding today is what literacy was in the Middle Ages: expensive and powerful. Personal computers are what books were in the Middle Ages: expensive and powerful. Martin Luther disrupted the Catholic Church's stranglehold over Europe by telling laypeople to read the Bible. Social media preaches. You can let your children read the source. Buy them the tools

And they will do it for fun. [4]

It's both many times faster than booting from microSD, and unless you buy the absolute cheapest SSD from a no-name manufacture, many times more reliable.

Additionally, if you have a good power supply and don't write tons of data on a daily basis to the microSD card, it will be quite reliable as long as it's a name-brand, high quality card.

Source: I've deployed about 50 RPis in various conditions, all but two booting off microSD cards, and have only had one failure requiring swapping in a new microSD card, over the past 8 years of use.

Industrial microSD cards are especially robust and are now available from a variety of manufacturers with environmental and wear ratings that rival decent SSDs.

I personally think it's stupid, but my opinion doesn't matter. I do see the irony though with how vocal the ban complaints are now that the other side is getting the same treatment. I just think it won't matter. Nobody is going to self-reflect and suddenly understand why it was wrong then if its wrong now. So then all you do is end up playing in the mud with the other pigs. It's short sighted.
Authority creates order, freedom creates chaos. But order can be tyrannical or benevolent, and because it can be tyrannical, some people trust freedom more. Essentially if you are on the winning end of authority's benevolence, you want a greater concentration of power; the losing end and you want more freedom.
Windows is just a burning trash heap at this point. I hate every moment of using it when I have to. How they can use the "professional" moniker with a straight face I don't know.

It's a shame because it could be better if they actually stopped the marketoids and CXO class from interfering in the product engineering decisions.
I’ve actually seen the same thing “This tweet is unavailable” when attempting to view musk’s tweets in general (admittedly I do not have a Twitter account and don’t know how the guest view may differ from an active login). Refreshing many times usually resolves it.

Based on that I wonder if what you’re seeing is intermittent infrastructure failure and not shadowbanning, or maybe even both at different times.

The smarter you are, the more aware you are that people saying they have all the answers are hucksters. Extremist politics, nationalism and blind faith thrive on ignorance.
Reads like a slogan for anti-globalization and nationalism.

As with all slogans, it ignores important details that contradict it.

Over the past four decades, our current global economic system, promoting economic integration and interdependence between countries, has lifted billions out of poverty.[a][b] Billions. No sensible discussion of globalization can ignore that.

The current backlash is not against globalization per se, but against:

* greater concentration of economic power (e.g., more markets dominated by global mega corporations),

* greater concentration of political and military power in authoritarian regimes who play by different rules (e.g., China), and

* greater concentration of income and wealth (e.g., the hollowing out of the middle class in the US).

We shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater!

I’m going to have to disagree with the core premise here.

At face value, this article implies that if we all just live alone in the woods and hunt and grow our own food, that somehow we will be stronger as a people.

The irony here is that this is coming from a post made on the internet. The internet is comprised of a large network of servers and infrastructure that isn’t possible without relying heavily on the labour and creativity of lots of other people. Yes, that includes the work of people from other nations. We’re talking international, here. Imagine you couldn’t see a website hosted in Australia because some right wing politician arbitrarily decided that invisible borders should define our evolution as a species.

This post is literally self defeating by virtue of the mechanism in which it was messaged.
These are some fine tricks. But potential downside is Musk could start banning people who are evading the censorship
If you are a self-reliant individual with few needs, it can be destructive for you to associate indiscriminately with others as you are likely to end up in lopsided relationships where you are exploited and relied on more than you rely on others. You need to be very careful in selecting your friends to create balanced relationships, a task which requires a non-trivial amount of energy which can sometimes be put to better use in other pursuits.

No, that’s a failure of the specific protocol. Your identity could simply be a public key. This way it’s:

1) Tamperproof

2) Not dependant on any specific server

Besides preventing conflict, globalization was supposed to increase democracy in the world. Increasing trade relations with China was in part to make them more democratic, as the theory was the more prosperous a nation is, the more democratic they become. I think we got it backwards.

Now we know it doesn’t work, and this historic reason for globalization is moot.
It's a MS product, and if they want a "Search" label, they are free to add it.

Either don't use an MS OS (there are at least two alternatives) or stop complaining about trivial things.
It's also likely Twitter is just broken. They did fire a lot of staff. Also, in any broad move you are going to keep people you should have fired and fired people you should have kept (even if the overall numbers are justified)
Even then... I mostly stopped using SD on these things when I had a (other-fruit)-Pi device that would on rare ocassion (3x in under a year) just nuke the SD card's data when power was cycled... I was using it for a mini emulation box (atari, nes, etc) and just irked me to no end. Since then, SSD over USB, far more reliable, properly configured or not.
Yes- in accordance with state and local hunting laws. Typically this means only during a specified time between December and February, and almost certainly not in the vicinity of inhabited dwellings.

Geese are smart, they figure out where they aren't hunted and congregate in these areas.

In areas where hunting is feasible (shooting lines over hundreds of yards of water; goose loads lose their energy pretty quickly compared to rifle or pistol rounds), regular hunting will deter geese from the area. That said, even a suppressed 12ga will have loud (140 dB) reports that won't fly in urban areas.

(If y'all couldn't tell, I hunt waterfowl)
I've come to the point where the only time I will take an OS upgrade is if security updates are stopped (unlikely) or if I'm switching hardware. My theory is that no OS "upgrade" will improve performance. Theoretically it could include optimization, but usually includes bloat because the minimum standard is raised.
an alternative viewpoint from 1961:

...if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved. — JFK
Six and a half paragraphs into the rant, and I think I found the argument:

“every mute and block is now treated, per Musk, as a ‘downvote’ of that account, and there is virtually no degree of positive engagement that can counterbalance a mass muting or blocking or false-reporting campaign. But the worst part is this: the ‘disappeared’ account-holder may take months to realize that they have been made virtually invisible on Twitter, or may never even find out at all.”

Unmentioned and uncited is the actual policy change: you can now pay for a downvoting account [1].

Headline rewrite suggestion:

US Copyright Office Rules A.I. Can't Be Owner of Copyright

This should not be controversial until we have general AIs that are people.
As one answer in the article suggests, there is no right answer that fits all. There are pros and cons to each method and each org will have to determine which of those pros and cons fit them appropriately. I would only suggest consistency once deciding what path one takes to make life easier for internal tool developers.
Too bad that the 128GB also uses eMMC. I remember when I got my Surface Go that only the lower spec one used eMMC which contributed to lower performance along with having less RAM. OTOH less RAM benefits more from faster storage so with more RAM might not notice as much.
> How many people know LISP in the first place?

The basics of Lisp are trivial. I’d happily no-hire any supposed developer that couldn’t easily pick it up.

> and the user experience of emacs is completely outdone by e.g. VSCode.

I heard this too. I was starting a new job using Ruby, which I hadn’t used in years. Despite being a long time Emacs user, since I hadn’t used Emacs in a few years and by far the most popular editor used by my team was VS Code, I thought I’d give it a shot. To my surprise it didn’t work anywhere near out of the box. I, and other developers on slack too, spent several days mucking with plugins and configs to get sorbet and other language servers working. At that point it was still a laggy lousy experience, but one where I was forced to use the mouse and had poor discoverability. So I said eff this, pulled spacemacs, and had a fully featured lsp based ruby IDE customized to my liking in about four hours.

My conclusion from all this is that people say VS Code has a superior user experience they either don’t know what they’re talking about or are drawing the most superficial of conclusions.
> I see the increasing globalization and interdependence of the modern world as one of the major reasons for the decrease in armed conflicts.

On the flip side, I also see the reluctance or resistance of individual countries to said globalization and interdependence as one of the major reasons for the increase in armed conflicts affecting those individual countries.

Occam’s Razor: this is just a bug, not shadow banning.
Fair enough, perhaps it just seemed that way? Idk

Also, interesting to see you on HN (didn’t realize you were in the tech space). I saw you on Tim Pools show, recognized the name
I don't think this is shadowbanning. It's just that the feature of viewing individual tweets via a direct link has been very flaky for a month, and getting worse over time. Tweets will just randomly show up as "unavailable". (And I think it's unreliability in their systems rather than a policy, since I have also seen it happen e.g. for tweets by Musk.)
ASD absolutely can make people care less about social norms, see for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3198313/ (“Insensitivity to social reputation in autism”)

ASD can be a mixture of both not understanding and not caring. Sociopathy is all about the later without any of the former.

Ah, maybe you're right; I skimmed through the thread a long time ago and I think they said they would open-source it and write a privacy policy. I'm pretty sure they did write the privacy policy but I may have remembered incorrectly about the pledge.
Is this a joke that they think they can become the worlds best employer? They are among the worst in tech. If not in fact then in reputation.

A little context:

I'm specifically interested in compressing my analytics stack. I'm currently interacting with HTTP Messages at a higher level. The problem, as I see it, is the webserver is already doing this work but without useful output. I'd like to implement my analytics paradigm natively at the webserver level.
I use it everyday. It's beyond inferior. Terminal is still needed for a lot of things that should have a GUI. Gaming support still inferior. Applications that only exist for Windows and/or MacOS. Linux had it's chance on desktop. Especially during Windows 8 trash era. It blew it. It's game over.
Yes? That’s why you have entire media businesses built on top of it.
I have concluded that the overall vision of Microsoft is entirely telemetry data driven and the data is shite.
The thread is about removing the label, not the whole search box.

Which is a sort of silly thing to complain about, but Windows 11 has a lot of taskbar feature regressions. You can't even pin the thing to the left or right edge anymore. So I understand why users are frustrated.

This all represents a philosophical shift in Windows ("the taskbar is Microsoft's, not yours") and it will be a painful adjustment for power users.
Ordered. Thank you for the recommendation.
If a train a monkey to paint, would I have copyright in his works? I doubt it - just the actual product of his hand, because I own the monkey.
To search in Windows, click the start button (or hotkey for start) and simply start typing. I’ve never seen the need for the search box or button, label or no label.
I was more referring to Trump not being necessarily competent, but using a big public profile to con people into handing over money and then deliberately not paying people and using bankruptcy to shield him from consequences. It's more a lack of morals than being competent.

Once someone has a lot of money, it becomes very difficult for them to decrease their wealth as capitalism rewards people/institutions that have lots of money and/or influence. If you have money available to purchase your way into owning various companies, then it's not too difficult to keep those companies alive though I would say that Musk has made some good decisions as to which companies to buy. I would consider that Tesla became successful partly due to a new potential market (which Musk should get some credit for spotting) and partly due to reaping the benefits from all the workers there - it's their talents that are making Tesla profitable and Musk is merely ensuring that he doesn't pay them sufficiently so that he can increase his own wealth.

Billionaires benefit from their own lack of morals more than being spectacularly competent.
