the problem is that very rarely creators own the copyright, most of the time it's transferred to corporations. in principle I agree with you, but corporations should have restrictive limits (i.e. 20 years after first copyright transfer from a natural person) - and just to be sure, make it so that royalty contracts are null and void if they cover a duration longer than 5 years, so that corporation cannot workaround the issue buying new property for pennies using forever exlusive royalties and preventing renegotiation once the property becomes famous (i.e. avoid the current musicians/labels contracts where unknowns get scouted early and chained forever)

Regarding the chip just being a duplicate destination of the inputs, I wonder how many games are deterministic enough for this to be possible. I feel like a lot of effort put into modern multiplayer games is ensuring determinism where if you capture the set of user inputs, it's guaranteed to be replayed into the same game, but that perviously a lot of race conditions or randoms() would make that not true.
There was a time when people messed around with technology. You iterate, do some random stuff and you see what happens. Breaking even was great, but now if the nanosecond you spend on a project doesn't fart exponential revenue, everyone in the room mounts your back. The metaverse is nothing but a glorified store front... a bad one even :/
It gives and takes — I learned about CUE and Svelte through HN which have probably saved me hundreds to maybe even thousands of hours, so it's a net win for me!
Whoever designed Android to require entire firmware updates to update a root CA is an idiot, and all the people at Google that went along with it.

Any device that is going to last decades, needs the ability to update CAs. Anyone who works with PKI knows this.

So, either they’re incredibly dumb, or they intentionally designed in planned obsolescence. That’s even more damning.

Even before it was bought by a far right Japanese outfit, The Economist always bullsh*tted whatever the interests of the English Toffs required. This includes participating in the media frenzy that sold the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs to Western public and all that entailed.

I am really trying to reconcile the earnest goody-goodyness here against watching the low income housing at length in my crowded city, where stealing in multiple forms is a common and in fact relentless occurrence, for lots of reasons, with lots of attitude, with loud vulgar cursing in front of the multiple children standing in plain sight while it happens (once in a while). There are plain lies and made-up on the spot allegations, name-calling and posturing sometimes, sort of like a social theater. But much more often it is out of sight and some kind of sneakiness is involved.

Next in line would be a completely different situation -- small business. Multiple times over long years of small business, I have seen crooked things done with money, by ordinary people.. probably parents. Some of those small business owners may have been from recent migrants, and felt pressured that way in a new city, but also not. Some small business people have certain words, phrases, they brush off the story, make it sound like it is the other person's fault, or that the questioner is confused somehow. And it continues... do they "teach their children not to steal" those small business people ? I dont know, but these stories are real.
She interviews several people who say this -- "well, it was basically OK for me, so I think this practice is fine."

The idea that closing your oldest credit line immediately puts you out on the street penniless is a redditism that's been parroted too much.

A rule-based interpretation of the I-Ching
From the abstract:

The I Ching is considered mysterious. Here I demonstrate a rule-based interpretation
of the I Ching that relates the 64 hexagrams (or guas) in the I Ching to the 256
transition rules of the elementary cellular automata with a possible application to
modeling the linear city. The only mysterious part is why and how the cyclic
number 142857 works in the present formulation.
Much remains to be explored.
As the moderator correctly identified, I was snarky in a comment yesterday, and I should not have written that. I wrote a parodic article in a somewhat dry Associated Press single page format, but it wasn't AI-generated. My comment was in a robotic tone, to play the part as if I had been taken over by AI, but I erred by writing it in haste. I had thought of copying the logo of FSF and Linux to create a page that appeared to be an official press release, so that it would be higher effort, but didn't. I don't think AI could generate what I wrote:

"Linux and FSF announce Linux Light, a kernel optimized for light-powered OSes
3 points by initramfs 1 day ago | hide | past | un‑favorite | 2 comments
Helsinki, Finland
Associated Press 12/19/2022

The Linux Foundation announced Monday a modified Linux 6.0 kernel is in a development phase for lightweight embedded systems, offering modern security in a lighter footprint. Since Linux's rise in popularity, the kernel has increased in size. Linux Light is aiming to address this heft with kernel modules that can be loaded after bootup, from the cloud, or, space permitting, from local storage. Asked why this option hasn't been pursued previously for mainline versions, a spokesperson for the Linux Foundation said, "Rust was a major shakeup to the Linux kernel. We started receiving requests for a lot more unusual changes than we had imagined." Linux Light is not expected to see the light of day until version 7 of the Linux kernel. "If you turn the 7 upside down, and flip it horizontally 180 degrees on the Y-axis, you get a jerry-rigged "L," which stands for Light," the spokesperson said. While the Linux Foundation preferred to adopt a shorter name, such as "Linux Lite", it was already taken. But "Linux Light" also addresses new ways to power our operating system, which for decades, has depended primarily on fossil fuels. Efforts to reach the kernel's founder, Linus Torvalds, for comment, were unsuccessful."

I won't repost the snarky comment. Thanks for the comments.
That sounds great. Is this SD? Are you running this locally or via some service? Would love more details if you don't mind.
I don't know if anybody actually does this aside from victimless crimes like drug use.
No it does not, bullies and criminals are not seeking to optimize their cash flow. I know this is just for squigees and other petty annoyances, but it's a slippery slope to paying people to just not commit crimes.

Have you lived in the ghetto or in extremely poor neighborhoods? I grew up in Oakland, Modesto, and Fresno, with gang banging friends and having to deal with these other gangsters not in your crew, who would like nothing more than to beat you up, steal your cash, and brag to their friends about commit their crimes. Those who commit crimes will commit crimes on the whim, jump you and cash, and never once have foresight on how their present actions have future consequences.

Empower bullies and lowlifes, and they'll continuously pick on you and bully you and others.
I wish I could edit my post to simply say open format for now. The MIT license currently refers to the spec and the documentation. Over time it will also include any tooling we open source (e.g. validator, linter, migration tools). The intention here is to work towards a shared format for this type of relational+spatial data, and we're hoping to collaborate with other members of the ecosystem to make something that can have interoperability and longevity.
Has anyone looked at housing prices in areas with job growth? In Western MA, anything that isn't a builder special or in the ghetto will set you back at least 200 kUSD. If the government wants to control inflation, maybe it should stop insisting that the only policy around is monetary policy.
They weren't native to the NE because the native populations of wolves kept them out of the area.

Bill Gates isn't doing good - the money he stole [1] from us is doing good. And he didn't have a change of heart - he hasn't opposed any of the IP maximalist, pro-corporate lobbying that helped MS grow so wealthy. Do you see him calling to end software patents?

I can forgive the stolen money, even credit him for how he's using his loot [2], but he hasn't lifted a finger to undo the damage he did to software freedom - our freedom. Objectively, that makes him hostile to any non-corporate entity.

Timing does seem bad, seeing they had transitioned to PowerPC only 4 or 5 years before NeXT was acquired. And Intel had not yet really taken a huge performance lead. PowerPC's were still pretty competitive. It wasn't until the mid-2000's that it was clear they were not going to get a G5 or whatever running in a laptop.

Apple also wasn't rolling in cash like the are today. They were struggling. They wouldn't have had the resources in the late 90's to support consumer-level x86 and the various hardware/driver configurations. NeXT was fine with supporting a limited set of configurations since they weren't targeting the "consumer" anyway. They were targeting high end commercial "workstation" customers. NeXTStep 486 cost something like $800 if I remember. The developer tools were more $$$. The people running that stuff could afford to spec out their machines properly.

They were listed because the shareholders wanted liquidity and they didn't want to pay more to do it the "legitimate way", which is an IPO or direct listing.
In the case of the California law, a judge found constitutional defects in the law and preempted it before the law could take effect. In the case of the Texas law, a different set of judges declined to rule on whether the law was defective and decided that they would punt on the decision. Courts are given latitude to make these sorts of decisions: the corollary is that we need to hold them accountable when they misuse that latitude to achieve political ends, or even appear to be misusing that latitude.

I doubt this is the place to do the whole debate on UBI (I do take the blame for bringing it up) but I do want to point out that these people are definitely not doing any productive work right now.
In this case "European standards" are the product of US corporations - among others - laying foundation for the support of reforms at home.
This would MASSIVELY increase engagement in schools. People still act as though it's a no-brainer to go to college, but when you have to take a significant amount of time to do it and pay your way through it it's like a perfectly-designed ultimate resource-suck on your life. If you don't get it done right after secondary school before you have a "real job", good luck trying to fit it in with your work, not to mention your social life.

Also let's not forget how many universities have endowments that are tens of BILLIONS in value. Tuition isn't even a drop in that bucket.
What are the hats for?
Finland experimented with UBI, and it found out that UBI does not affect people working or not working at all.

That's just bullsh*t propagated by the incumbent economic establishment to prevent anything like UBI causing them end up having to pay the taxes that they owe for their tax-dodging wealth.
50 sounds very reasonable. Not only is it plenty long to monetize a work but it may also incentivize aging legends to have a second golden age of creativity at the end of their career.

One of my favorite all time musicians is still touring (and sounding great!) but his entire set list is music he wrote in the 60s and 70s. I suspect he still has it in him to write amazing new music.

Somewhat agree with your take. A good example is Twitter: it’s trivial even for a non-state actor to automate a bot farm to post hundreds of thousands of disinfo tweets, create “connections”, retweet each other, etc. this is happening today at a massive scale.

However, where I can see a model like ChatGPT making a difference is creating a tsunami of seemingly in-depth content both in public (Wikipedia) and private (buying 10K domain names) spaces. Generating fake research papers, interviews, blog posts, reviews… at a scale that until now required an unattainable amount of human supervision.

How much content would it take to flood the more visible part of the internet?

Drinking alcohol and motorcycling do have some government mandated controls, including some based upon age.

In addition to alcohol, a great many chemical substances fall under government controls. Particularly where the public health risk is deemed of high cost.

In that context, how is this so significant or different?
> [streams are] pretty crappy compared to Linq

I think that's unfair to the Streams API. It wasn't intended to solve the same problem as Linq and the problem it does solve it does very well. Streams transform collections. Streams API statements are usually elegant and the party piece of Streams is concurrency with parallelStream(), which will distribute stream operations across threads safely and transparently.

Perhaps java should have a Linq equivalent, but the fact that the Streams API isn't that isn't actually a knock on Streams. In the meantime there is JOOQ and others that deliver elegant query syntax with compile time type safety.
Well, also agents of corporations, and those corporations whose singular goal is profit are the worst of "people" AFAICT.
As a student who used to get good grades with low attendance, I would have found such class refunds very annoying and patronizing. It also gives students who are well-off a lot more flexibility in how they structure their time than those for whom the money matters.

Putting a disincentive on resits on the other hand seems reasonable because those come at a cost. I'm not sure that that should go so far as to put a higher reward on higher grades though - trading off high grades for (e.g.) extracurriculars seems entirely reasonable to me and not like something that should be discouraged, and in general a focus on grades rather than learning seems somewhat unhealthy.
This almost reads more like a list of cruft which should be removed from the stdlib (obviously not benchmark.rb though). For delegation it is probably better to use forwardable and be explicit about delegated methods--delegate.rb smells like it uses method_missing magic.
Collaboration is definitely deep work. I think the key is whether the meeting is focused on the work or accessory to it. Keeping a manager updated is annoying because its not real work, its just someone checking up on you.
I'm assuming actual priority is keeping your home internet connection usable to your family. Easier to fail gracefully under configurable loads in the haproxy config. I'd rather enormous amounts of traffic never reach the house than try to handle it there.
Your cats don’t find the tv interesting because they can’t even see it. Their visual refresh rate is different enough from humans that they just see flashes of images (a refresh rate above 100hz is needed for cats to watch tv or see a screen, IIRC).

I didn’t say it was every woman’s ambition. But many people reevaluate how they feel about the idea when they are forced to confront the fact that the choice will soon be taken away from them. This doesn’t happen at age 25, but probably starts to become more apparent for many people around that age. Keep in mind it often takes years of planning to go from deciding you want to have children to actually having them.

Florida seems pretty significant to me re: Spain's colonization in the Americas. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Florida

Spain also lost Florida in part, by conquest (to Andrew Jackson). Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seminole_Wars

> The Seminole Wars were the longest and most expensive, in both human and financial cost to the United States, of the American Indian Wars.

Interestingly, less than half a year later, Mexico finally (re-)gained its independence from Spain.

Lots of Spain colonization efforts unraveled in a relatively short amount of time, historically.
As other mentions “airpod Pro gen 2” is still much, much simpler than whatever it is Sony is calling their earbuds.

But on the other hand you need to be a bit of an expert to compare the different series of iPad.

And who can forget that the first iPad with Retina display was called “the new iPad” and the follow up was called “iPad with Retina display”. Talk about cluster fuck naming!

I wanna say Apple is doing better than the competition but worse than they used to, but they have a few fuckups from a decade ago that a bigger than anything they’ve got going on now, so maybe they’re not clearly doing worse.

So to answer your question: Is apples naming getting complicated? Inconclusive.

Lithium carb pills, at the lower end of the standard therapeutic range. There are a range of side effects, luckily for me not severe enough to impact my day to day--the most noticable one is just being thirsty all the time. We'll see if that stays true as I age, though... kidney damage is a big risk down the road.

And yup, there's some newer research about the long term benefits such as lowering alzheimer's risk, which is a nice silver lining :) My doctors have mentioned it, so probably not pseudoscience.
