One thing that they could do is make Firefox at least as responsive on iOS as Safari is.

I know that browsers on iOS are forced to use WebKit (although that might change soon[1]). But Safari is also using WebKit, and the lag that I get in Firefox when opening a new tab is testing my commitment to them.

What about a derivative work? Like if somebody recreated the film Metropolis into a 3D version, scene by scene. Ultimately the same film but using Blender or whatever so every scene is perfect as a 3D movie. Is that new film copyrighted to the person who did this work now?

There was actually a revisiting of an earlier design in this space recently:

This is a misdiagnosis of where the problem is.

People developing these models are very aware of what 3D workflow is like.

The issue is that image->point cloud training data is very easy to get, whereas image or point cloud -> clean 3d mesh training data is very hard to get in unconstrained domains.

Generating point clouds is where the state of the art is now. That doesn't mean that the whole field isn't entirely aware that text->3d mesh unlocks many more capabilities.
Yes, I will end up depending more heavily on sources that I know are thoughtfully edited by humans. Unfortunately, that set will diminish if bot herders overwhelm crowdsourced sites.

That would be it! I got the story slightly wrong, but that's the one I thinking of.
What about a compromise where the original works (and republishing verbatim) are protected for the life of the creator, but derivative works (e.g. writing a new novel with the same characters/setting) are only prevented from being created for 10-20 years?

That snippet looks like Python/Lua/C with the for, case and close being used. Ruby is one of those languages that like Lisp/Scheme, Smalltalk or Haskell requires you to know what is going on as well as what is available to come up with a clean/simple solution. I think finding good Ruby resources that are up to date are few but I believe most of the stuff out there still works in recent versions.

I am a bit more optimistic than that. Social media depends on how we use them, but because technology is advancing so fast, a lot of people have yet to settle on a usage pattern that is healthy for them.

The best part is that the second hand market satisfies the legal criteria of ownership, but doesn't reward the creators in the slightest.

I've bought a number of media second hand to make sure I own them, and it's remarkable how there just is no way to pay any original producer for things in a lot of cases. I can download a movie easily, but there's no way for me to pay anyone for having done so - meanwhile if I buy a physical copy of that movie from someone else...the creator doesn't make any money from me at all, but it's all completely legal.
The video isn't complaining about MIDI. It's just saying that MIDI isn't suitable for MuseScore's specific use case (playing orchestral scores through virtual instruments), and since VST instruments use MIDI as an interface, that problem wasn't immediately solvable. (Their eventual solution was implementing an alternative protocol and a plugin compatible with it.)

Not so easy to enforce, because most ticketing systems don't require the name of every single attendee. Adding that requirement would be really really bad for the sales funnel, and also require tickets to be 100% non-transferable.

And much less disruptive to the target, because they get told in advance and don't drive and park and go in and plan only to get kicked out.

Open source licenses exist to try and prevent attack on open-source by groups privatizing otherwise freely distributed code. It's an arms race. In a world where copyright's expire on reasonable timeframes, the value of copyleft licenses is vastly reduced since useful code becomes freely available within a reasonable timeframe.

Lots of really fascinating nuggets in this interview. I hadn't heard about the link between the nuclear test ban treaty negotiations and digital signatures, but it makes a lot of sense. Hellman seems very mature and gracious in his later years, making sure that people got the credit they were due, and even forgiving people who clearly wronged him (like the RSA guys who got very rich from patents, while he made almost no money from his patents).
Then why not just eat nothing? That way you only have to focus on the calories out portion? Obviously, some people find it much harder at this than others. Some average-sized adult males get overweight with just 1300-1700/calories a day due to slow metabolisms or other genetic factors.

The constitution was a compromise between different ideas pushed by different people. It is not a holy text or necessarily the ideal outcome from the point of view of any of its signatories. Its historical and philosophical importance are immense. But even from day one, it was not supposed to be the be-all and end-all. There are lots of things it was not designed to handle.
I think it's a mix. Companies reacting to markets and targets are cutting costs. Other companies are using the economy as air cover enact employee hostile policies and changes.

For example, when things start recovering, I'm curious how quickly companies will rush to increase comp back to recent levels, bring back cut benefits (or reduce their costs that have increasingly been passed on to the employee), change WFH policies, etc.

My gut says they will only do it when labor has leverage again, which means these companies will try to put their thumb on the scale as hard as they can to make up lost ground and then some.
90% of a car is not EV relates. Many of the working bits of cars and trucks are already made by subcontractors, the axles, the transmissions, the seats, etc. This should be no different. Really companies like Oshkosh, Ford, etc. are integrators. Ford doesn't need to be an expert in breaks, engines, etc. They can just buy it, like dodge buys Cummins engines. Oshkosh could just build the body and frame, not in a ev drive train from a supplier of those.
It is as close to an intervention as we can come. We are friends of firefox, yet again reminding it that we love it, but all love has limits, and Firefox is approaching the limits of our love. If it does not change its direction soon, it will be all alone out in the cold.

Thermodynamics is thermodynamics. However what I think people are meaning to argue is that “just don’t eat as much” can be akin to saying, “just stop being depressed.” It can basically be impossible if not dangerous for some.

Also, our calorie furnaces all work a bit differently. Thermodynamics laws hold, but some of us have far wider margins for how generously our body will burn off or otherwise not hold on to those calories.
Note: I'm just a layperson. I'm probably going to be wrong on this.

I had wondered just how long could BOJ keep their rate while US fed is now 4.5% and is signalling going up to 5% by the end of next year. As a result, the yen was getting weaker day by day and annual inflation was 3.7% in November.

Inflation was what the Japanese government wanted and they've finally got it. But the problem now is that while the Japanese companies have been getting richer thanks to weaker yen, the wage has not been gone up to match the inflation resulting in the PM asking for firms to raise the wage. [1] Without the wage raise, this series of events has made the average Japanese citizen effectively poorer - and obviously people aren't too happy about it. I'm guessing this factored into making this decision.

EDIT: Looking more into this, this move was kinda signalled in the September meeting.

> Broadening price rises in Japan prompted some central bank policymakers to warn last month that inflation may overshoot expectations, highlighting the challenge Bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda faces in justifying ultralow interest rates.

> One board member went as far as saying *the BOJ must eventually communicate an exit strategy* from ultraeasy policy, a summary of opinions at the September meeting showed. [emphasis mine]

This is the mildest, most forgiving coverage. Elon is replying to Nazis, misogynists, racists, and other vile assholes on twitter. He is taking suggestions from them. As bad as things are now, once the realization that truly vile people have Elon's ear filters out to the public, it will get much worse.

Now this is bad all by itself, but that's not all. In an interview shortly after this, Liz Upton, Raspberry Pi's cofounder and chief marketing officer showed she's either REALLY ignorant or is intentionally trolling anyone who cares about this. She said:

Liz Upton, Raspberry Pi’s cofounder and chief marketing officer, told BuzzFeed she believes that much of the issue stems not from the hiring of the former police officer who admitted to using Raspberry Pis for covert surveillance, but instead from a picture the account posted to Mastodon a day earlier showing pigs in blankets. “We didn’t put a content warning on it, because we don’t put a content warning on meat,” Upton said. “There were quite a few people who tried to start dogpiling on that.”

Really? Does she REALLY think we're all just a bunch of angry vegans / vegetarians who are just upset about a photo? Or is she really that clueless? It's hard to tell, but I, for one, wouldn't trust a human like that with judgement about other humans.
This is a fictional emotional ploy specifically designed to compel people to agree with you, lest they sound uncultured, uncaring or worse. That is the problem with our social discourse - it's hinged on cheap emotional "gotchas".

Eich wasn't walking down the halls of Mozilla, preaching his radical views and firing anyone who disagreed - yet that's exactly what happened to him. Ironic...

This is what seems to have happened to Mozilla... overrun with neo-ideologs and forced everyone out that wasn't with "the program". How very inclusive...

Then payment processors either need to either 1) be able to determine with 100% certainty whether something is legal or 2) be given broad immunity with respect to customers' illegal activities as long as they weren't strictly aware. The problem is that 1) is not possible and 2) incentivizes these intermediaries from keeping track of what their customers do, which then opens door to all kinds of criminal activities. Money laundering becomes virtually impossible to prosecute in that environment, which then makes other criminal activities substantially more profitable.
Are you *seriously* asking why they would be interested in the Fediverse ??

I think it's entirely valid to point out that for the last decade, Mozilla has been distracted with side projects that haven't gone anywhere (Firefox OS, Persona, etc), while the browser has languished. And now we see Mozilla pursuing yet another side project that, let's face it, will probably die an unmourned death in two or three years, while Firefox still languishes.

Furthermore, given that Mozilla very recently had a round of layoffs, ostensibly to cut the fat and refocus on the browser, where are they going to get the developer resources to work on this new project?

The people that saw the most weight loss were those that also claimed the supplements reduced their appetite looks like supporting evidence for the placebo/weight-tracking effect to me (and if there is an actual mechanism linking potassium intake and appetite, it might be one which only affects the subset of people in a study with a high dropout rate that had something particularly wrong with the levels of potassium in their body and regular diet)

The dropout rate is significant too, both in general and in the specific case of this being a self-selecting sample of readers of a blog promoting fringe theories around weight loss(1). One way to get a statistically significant sample for a weight loss treatment being apparently effective is for people to be most likely to drop out of an experiment without submitting any further data the day the scales give them the disappointing news that they've put the pounds they lost back on again.

Potassium is apparently already marketed as a weight loss supplement, so I'm guessing there are other studies of varying but generally better quality floating around though...

Seems to be just a random collection of random ruby snippets, for clicks? Surprised to see it voted up.

Oh wait... they are snippets from the ruby distribution "sample" folder? I didn't even know there was a ruby distribution "sample" folder.

Looking at the git history, it looks like while a few of the "samples" have been touched in the past few years -- others haven't been touched in 10+ years, and I think maybe all of them originate 10+ years ago... maybe all of them originate from ruby original release? I don't think most people even know about this "sample" folder.

So I guess OP is giving us a tour of it, ok. It's... not that interesting.

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/ruby_3_1/sample/

Some of the samples show you how to use parts of the stdlib, which I guess can be useful. Others, like that second example "biorhythm", are just kind of inexplicable random scripts. (What even is a "biorhythm"?). None of them seem to have any comments (perhaps because they were written by Japanese speakers decades ago?)

These literally decades-old snippets of unclear purpose are probably not actually great examples of how to write current ruby. They may be interesting historically, I wonder how they even got here.

The thing is that it’s easy to voice an opinion. And you can be confident that the institutions will endure even if you weaken them, which provides a safety net for populists who have incentives to use corrosive language and attitudes for electoral reasons without fearing a complete breakdown of the state or society.

We’ve seen this countless times. However upset people are about Medicare and public welfare, they still want to get some support when they need.

It is a factor for instability in the long term, but it is an unavoidable cost of having free speech. Ideally, it would be fought against with a good public education system.
