People in that situation usually have a high time preference.
Did you read it first before asking? Serious question.
Clavicord was definitely the virtuoso instrument of the period. It allowed for a lot of control, more than a modern piano. Its biggest issue, lack of sound, made it great for students like the ones Bach addressed in Clavier.
On the contrary. The overestimation was probably in the previous AI era which couldnt live up to any of the hype.
I see you're an optimist! I just hope that twenty first century San Fran can tone down the barbarity to merely that of Plantagenet England.

Not just that, you only get protection (in a specific country) if you make it reasonably simply available in said country.

I live in the balkans (but still.. part of EU, we have credit cards, internet, everything), and many many media (movies, music,...) are unavailable to buy here... not on netflix, no hulu here, not on any other streaming provider, not released on dvd, not available to buy any other way here...

...but somehow, if I download that movie/episode from a torrent site, i'm somehow causing them financial loss with my download...
I'd argue that those are toys, not tools.
I can see two viable ways to prevent this from happening without taking sides on whether or not businesses should be allowed to deny service to non-protected classes of people.

1. A laser-targeted law banning facial recognition technology used for the sole purpose of denying service.

2. Not letting corporations get as large as MSG in the first place.

I'm a fan of (2). If there's one thing I would hope people across the political spectrum could agree on it's that the Federal government has seriously fallen down on its anti-trust authority.

I’ve definitely seen that kind of before (app had max length in the HTML different than the max enforced by the validator). It’s amazing how much bad UX is tolerated in the name of security.
Seems like a waste of time and money. Just join one of the big ones.
>I can’t imagine in living in a place where people can just ran out, spit on your windshield, rub it around with a cloth, then demand money and if you don’t pay up you might get shot. What insane people vote for this?

I'm thankful that this doesn't happen where I live (NYC). Where does this happen, so I know not to rent a car there.

It is always a temptation for a reach and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:--
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the
time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
I’m remembering a place going for “priority parking” panel, with smaller details on who had priority access. It was marked in a different color and still had the official wheelchair mark on the ground, but there was additional signage to explain anyone with a disability marker could use it.

The effect to my eyes was that when a car is parked, there was no wheelchair mark in sight, and no prominent “disability” wording (it’s still there, just not the “in your face” type), and people caring enough still had the small prints to explain it’s not just people in wheelchairs.

I agree with you that it won’t stop everyone for getting upset, I mean some people don’t need any excuse to get upset, so will always be edge cases. But I also think urban design has an effect, even on the people using it.

I have elder parents that can barely walk anymore, but they won’t use priority seats in the buses because they don’t want the “disabled” label sticking to them. Instead they skip buses after buses at the stop until normal seats seem available from the outside. It’s stupid, so stupid, but that’s how they think. Changing labeling can feel like a dirty hack, but if 10% more elderly people would use them as a result, I see it as a win.

It’s to me the equivalent of making the “delete” button red on a page, it’s good design taking into account the average user psychology.
I had to look it up too, pretty sure grandparent comment meant "if I understand correctly".
They're both Central Asian countries so it seems plausible that they would both have a similar custom. The reference seems a bit in poor taste given the content of the article though.
@mlschmitt23 not sure if you're looking for feedback, as this isn't a Show HN, but when I click to download the app in the banner on your website, then it turns into an Open button, which opens the app when I click it. Unfortunately the app only opens for a split second, and then bounces me back to Safari to your website.

I was able to open the app like normal from my home screen.
yeh I dunno about this for HVAC. Unless the AI can drive down capital costs for robots, humans will have a distribution and cost advantage
If USPS was a private company it would stop delivering where UPS and FedEx don’t deliver too. All three would obviously raise prices too. Yay for private capitalist businesses.
> then go through the proper channels, and make a law explicitly banning it don't try to get private companies to do the work of enforcing arbitary rules.

I think one of the effects of the gridlock in US politics is that more and more actual policy is now implemented by circumventing the "normal" lawmaking process: e.g. through executive orders, court decisions or appeals to private companies or citizens.

Whichever side you're on, this can't be a good thing for a democracy.
> wealthy churches are choosing to keep billions on their asset sheets rather than perform the duties they nominally exist to perform.

While some churches do physical charity, that’s not the nominal function of a church in the general sense (it may implicitly be part of why churches are legally treated as charities in the US, getting not merely tax exemption but deductibility of donations for donors, but that is more an indictment of that policy than anything else.)
We’re going to enter into a curation economy. Not quite Yahoo! 90s style but more in a “must be trusted and attributable” to be valid. It doesnt scale but there may be more value in the brand of your information than the current state of the world provides.
I mean Gary Marcus and Elon Musk seem to agree here. AI has very suddenly become incredibly powerful and will be further weaponized. It should fall under some kind of regulatory framework for safety and security. By way of comparison, AI is far more dangerous than cryptography, which is regulated in a national security context. In addition, we should not underestimate the increasing power of AI in the near future. AI is already using AI to improve AI faster than people can improve it. Witness all the educators figuring out ways to identify fake writing, without realizing that they are just feeding data to the next revision of GPT.
Your understanding of SPACs is correct. However sketchy sponsors might have short vesting periods.

I've got a 25 year old car that's done all that, no major repairs. I'll be surprised if a Tesla lasts 12 years.
> But how is there a deviation; being an Iterable is part of being a list, not a deviation from it.

Because I'm a human, not a robot. If I can describe something with fewer words by sacrificing a little bit of accuracy, I might go for it when I don't deem that accuracy to be important.

If wife sends you to buy eggs, are you the type of person that buys caviar because "technically they're eggs"?

Of course. Although practicality beats purity.
As you said, the relationship between shareholders and the C-suite is a check-and-balance.

Meta's structure basically makes Zuckerberg unoustable. He can continue to toss money into the ether chasing a particularly bad idea.

Conversely, it's possible to have voting power so diluted that nobody who has a long-term vision has any way to promote it.

Broad ownership allows people to call bullshit, but maybe something like a capital-gains surtax on shares held less than 5 years would make it too expensive to dive-bomb into a company just long enough to sabotage its long-term future.
Why would it have to?
You're only looking at the commercial value of copyright - making sure an IP stays as profitable as possible for as long as possible. But cultural value is just as, if not more, important, as is the premise (lost in modern society) that culture should be driven by people rather than manufactured by corporations.

Copyright should end soon enough for public adoption of a work to still be culturally significant, even if that interferes with its market viability.

They do it because they don't give a shit about traffic signaling, period. They are the same kinds of people who run red lights.

They don't do it because they think that somehow stepping into the road is going to magically activate the 'WALK' light.
It's not difficult to think of realistic (if not necessarily sensible) motivations if we try.

Maybe they're religious fanatics and there's no we can satisfy their tenants so.. Or maybe the local alien boss doesn't want to deal with their EPA equivalent and decides to deal with the problem before anyone notices. Or the Grand Poobah just acts whimsically and everyone must do as it says.
Apparently a bunch of people used pinboard to bookmark the reorder form for their lifesaving medication, and now the site is down, and they're going to die. Or something equally dreadful, based on the reports of all the serious harm he's causing.
It seems the Democrats and Joe Biden are much better at packaging “America First” (or hiding it) than Trump when it comes to European amd other “allies”.

This article is quoted extensively:

https://www.eastasiaforum.org/2022/12/11/us-chips-war-hits-a...

There was a tweet regarding foreign policy that went along the lines of:

The major difference between the Democrats & Republicans in foreign policy is that Democrats say they went to do good things but they're lying and the Republicans say they want to do bad things and they are telling the truth.

Hmm.. in this case, if you give people (some form of an) UBI, they stop working... is this really what we want for everyone?
What you were specifically doing doesn't much matter, though "responding sympathetically" might be a closer fit.

From my own experience in online interactions, what I've observed is that if I've managed to antagonise someone, no response seems to be the best response, including apologies. Again, regardless of who's in the right or wrong.

(If there's some other offense against yourself, you might address that separately and directed at others.)

But what I've seen across decades, fora, and people, is that once a nerve is hot and inflamed, it's best left alone for a good long while.

That's what I was trying to convey.
This is gaslighting the lived experience of those who have reported abduction by aliens.
Show HN: An AutoHotKey script that enables you to use GPT3 anywhere
I don't think it was a bad decision, it was inevitable they had to switch as Motorola left 68k customers in the lurch. The actual bad decision was not investing in better OS development in the 80s.

Put it this way: the Lisa had an MMU, memory protection, and an OS with better multitasking. Yes it was expensive to make, but they could have scaled it down instead of building a whole other, competing system that was technically inferior from an operating system perspective.

The original Mac was built as if it was a one-off product, and they lived with the results of that for two decades. And these were Jobs' choices.

That's even more of a no-brainer, as an average 9-5 has practically zero upside, so your net worth is likely to stay flat (if not even go down). We like to pretend that the /r/wallstreetbets or crypto people are crazy, but most are median earners that feel that there's no way to break out without gambling. When we look at the housing situation, most are sadly right.

What do people want? To marry a cute girl, buy a house, have a few kids, retire, go fishing; if they get that big promotion maybe even buy a boat. But this life is simply not attainable today.
Not to make light of issues presented in this article, there’s a delightful comedy from the 1990s called Black Cat, White Cat about a Roma community. I’m reminded of some scenes from that film. Serbian director, Emir Kusturica
Copyright is not the same as patents nor is innovation the only or necessarily the most relevant concern.

Authors have rights, especially artists are often not immediately discovered, and a lot of large businesses would be able to suppress new works for 20 years.
Short chrome browser extension I wrote some time ago that rewrites normal urls to videos like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvPPXbo87ds

into embedded video urls like this

https://www.youtube.com/embed/jvPPXbo87ds?autoplay=1

bypassing ads and running video in full browser window.

Since I watch a lot of youtube I think it might have saved me 100 hours of waiting so I can press Skip Ad button.

I probably should just use AdBlock but where's the fun in that.
I meant that as why it would be common where the current use is primarily “face saving”, but even in those cases it is still bowing to the continued social relevance of the same attitude, because it only saves face if you assume that abduction is less of an affront to norms than a woman exercising agency with regard to marriage, so “prior” is something of an exaggeration in any case.
CUE Lang (https://cuelang.org/) for me. I had to build this massive clinical data collection system in REDCap and it's kind of a nightmare system to use.

So I wrote a script in CUE to programmatically build my REDCap data dictionary to support flexible inputs.
DC certainly isn't succeeding at a media empire lately, though I guess they have 11 years to go.

There's a lot of valuable stories in Golden Age comics. One thing that makes them unique(?) is so many of them are total surreal nonsense, like the writers hadn't slept in a month, or their studios all had carbon monoxide leaks. Don't think you'll get that from a modern work environment.

Yep, I think it makes little sense for them to fear competition (if they exist). I suspect that intergalactic warfare is impractical and there is nothing to gain.

Reasons being: There is no stealth in space, there is no FTL, resources are abundant everywhere, destroying planets/megastructures is rather easy.
Are you comfortable with invalidating copyleft licenses like GPL?
Why should anyone feel pressured to have children at all? That's a pretty horrible way to view the world, you're acting as if a woman's value is decreased once she can't have children anymore. That sounds a lot like social tyranny to me.
> For example, under copyright, you can't take Mickey Mouse, throw sunglasses on him, then re-release all of the existing work, because it's not protected by the fair use clause. However, if you were to create something demonstrably different to the point where it does qualify for fair use, then suddenly you've created new media that you have the copyright for and can do whatever you wish (including sell it; whether or not it's used for commercial purposes is only a factor in fair use determinations, it doesn't instantly disqualify it for fair use).

Your understanding of fair use seems quite flawed.

Tell me, have you _ever_ seen Mickey Mouse used for _anything_ even remotely interesting that wasn't made by Disney?

One of the most well-known characters of all time, if fair use wasn't too restrictive, there'd be some derivative works out there, right?

The reason you don't is because what's allowed by fair use is _very_ limited and ambiguous (ie dependent on how much money you want to spend on a lawyer to defend yourself).

You can do reviews of shows/movies, you could probably do a really obvious parody, you could report on some Mickey Mouse news, and that's essentially it. Anything else will get you sued _hard_ and you will not win.
Not to mention, not every murder had a historical record. So even if they knew about them at the time, it's unlikely all were recorded.
> No one is mandating

Humandating, please. Etymology aside, this is suggestive of men forcing people to do things, which is insensitive of ~~survivors of rape~~ people who have survived rape.

> architects

People who engage in architecture. Just as people who engage in sex work do not want to be reduced to sex workers, people who architect do not want to be reduced to their occupation. Architect also has white supremacist undertones, as it's derived from a Greek word and implies the ability of white men to impose order on physical reality.

it's possible we'll be able to blow up the AGI before it's finished with us. Maybe the best possible world is one where an early AGI destroys a huge amount of capital and ruins the reputation of its successors so they're never turned on.

This sounds like a terrrrrible arms race to participate in. It's already hard enough to track usage of copyrighted materials, where there's a pretty static piece of content that you want to match against. ID'ing AI generated content produced by someone who doesn't want the content to be ID'ed as AI is going to be /very/ hard in the long run.
Not sure what the graphics controller was capable of, but the 'paperwhite' monochrome monitor which was offered then supported 72Hz refresh rate. That was a lot then and most people won't notice the remaining flicker, but it's not 100Hz. Op might be misremembering.

(I'm a bit sensitive -- around that time, I removed a connection on the MB of my Schneider, nee Amstrad, CPC 464 so that it would think it's the NTSC version and would output the screen's content @60Hz and adjusted my monitor accordingly. 60Hz was just about bearable, 50Hz (PAL) only with dark background)
Why not say "we need after-school job opportunities for kids", and making that happen? (Whether it's with the city's public works, or partnerships with local businesses, or whatever.)

And if something like red light squeegee shakedowns is a problem, outlaw it?

Singling out misbehaving people for what should reasonably be default benefits of being a member of society seems to send a suboptimal message.
Thanks (sincerely). you help me make my point here.

I hear your emotional argument. That situation sucks. I'm sorry you
didn't get that support and I deal with lots of students in the same
situation and it grieves me.

But I question the "zero sum" reasoning. Is the enemy of my enemy
always a friend? Is my loss your gain and vice versa? If we punish
some people is that the same as rewarding all the others? Does that
mean we ought never reward anyone for anything ever? :)

That's what I meant about the "weird taboo". Because I am sure you
wouldn't venture the argument that by giving some students higher
grades for their performance I am effectively punishing some others
for not studying. So, why does money suddenly change everything?

wages increasing faster than inflation means that effective (sometimes called "real") prices fall.

If in year N an item costs $1000 and you earn $10k a year, but in year N+M the item costs $1100 but you earn $12k a year, the real price of the item has gone down.
