While yes a lot of music is based on prior art there are levels of that and there is a lot of case law on what doesn’t break copyright. There is a lot of music that steals from classical but that is public domain. There are rules about how much of a riff from a copyrighted song you can borrow before it becomes copyright infringement and you owe the original writer royalties. Music also has a lot of standard conventions that lead to similar conclusions at least if you are using western music theory since that is based on western classical music.

So an amount of this deals with scale and the copyright status of the prior art.

While true, how long can the car heat the batteries before it's practically unusable because the battery has depleted so much you need to charge it again before driving to work? Not everybody has a charging port at home, especially in Europe.
I agree that layoffs will lead to new companies being formed. I'm not convinced that the self driving car thing will happen in the US. I think the US will be slow due to the high cost of american life and regulations. I think it will happen in Asia though.
> these relationships wouldn't exist.

The government has been involved with the data broker industry since well before the dotcom era. That is the underpinning of all current day surveillance capitalism. It's an intelligence resource they will never overlook.
The 2019 MacBook had a horrible design that makes battery replacements almost impossible. They fixed it in 2021 so it’s significantly easier to swap now.
In addition to this description of the Dark Ages/Enlightenment being wrong, it's worth pointing out how incredibly eurocentric it is ("humanity forgot how to read"). Even just in popular imagination, the 6th-10th centuries (what TFA calls "The Dark Ages") are seen as the height of literary achievement in other parts of the world (e.g. China)
The F1 engines are sealed by the FIA. They are not rebuilding them and doing so would result in disqualification.
> After buying a chromebook a month ago I am completely convinced this came a few years ago and no one paid any attention as it wasn't the vision they had of the Linux desktop.

I noticed but I don't think this is a satisfactory Linux Desktop. It goes against many stuff Linux Desktop proponents could be fighting for, mainly privacy and controlling one's computing. The main point of the Chromebook is to make your computer a thin client to run your computing on Google's servers. I think computing should go the opposite way. It's fast and has no virus though.

As for the market share, I know nobody with a Chromebook around me, I don't think it's a big thing where I am.
This is like a person unfamiliar with a large program going in and randomly removing lines of code, then trying the program. If the program still runs, obviously those lines of code were unnecessary, right?

Damn he's dumb. He needs a nanny.
I'm sad this was downvoted. I think it would make a more interesting discussion for unpopular opinions to be present and engaged with rather than downvoted into invisibility.

I think you make a fair point, if you don't want to agree to the terms of a transaction, don't participate in the transaction with the intent of breaking the terms. This is the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in any contract.
The president merely has control of the heads of departments. They don't have control over the rank and file. It is notoriously hard to get rid of non-elected government officials...
The main problem of nix is not even the nix language, though I've heard little good around its error handling and debugging. My admittedly shallow understanding is also that it doesn't matter that much because most of your time will be spent in the sprawling mess of nixpkgs.

> it's intuitive

The naming is very odd (e.g. why "sets" for dicts / records), and then it manages to make the language incompatible with itself by having attribute sets for values and a completely different syntax for attribute set parameters, no doubt because the language was ambiguous due to the lack of function prefix (also makes curried functions awkward).

Like, there's nothing hard to it, but the entire language feels awkward for no reason. Like "?" meaning "default value" in parameters but "has attribute" for navigation (where "or" is "default value").

> I realize the nix language seems confusing to many, but to fp programmers, it's intuitive and there's not a whole lot to say about it.

XSLT is also a functional language. That doesn't make it not-awful.
It is really hard to argue that this is the best way to turn the company around. He might get lucky with a number of factors,and the level of addiction of twitter nerds can't be overstated, but losing so much of your engineering team is still a major risk. Also, given the fact that a lot of advertisers don't seem to be pleased, it is hard to imagine how they are going to translate higher engagement into higher revenue.
The disagreement is about whether there are reasons aside from facilitating formalization to care about HoTT. (Because if not, it seems like we should all be jumping on the Lean bandwagon instead.)
Any public media entity represents enormous power - and by definition will involve agencies of all kinds from all over.

Foreign actors will absolutely leverage the situation to the maximum extent possible and this is a fact irrespective of claims made by CIA/FBI to justify their existence.

Even the Canadian government has finally admitted publicly that the Chinese government is doing 'full court press' inside the country including having literal Chinese Police Stations hidden within Canada. It's perverse.

And of course, that's just the 'big actor' issue - there are legitimately a lot of small time bad people using these systems. Like they would any other.

We should expect the government to do it's job - meaning that the 'story' should be about 'where the lines are' not 'that they exist'.

Judicial oversight, proportionality, proper procedure, some mechanism for public oversight, lawfulness ... those are the issues.

I'm glad for this bit of transparency because it probably helps us to parse the system a bit to see what's what ... but I suggest that we ought to be vigilant about the nuances, not the ideology. Putin and Xi will forevermore attempt to dust things up, and the CIA/FBI are known to overstep their bounds ... but there's a legit reason those agencies exist so we probably should focus on a way to make it work in a way that preserves freedom, lawfulness, basic civic virtues and common sense.
I work in this industry (designing tools for automotive diagnostics), and have heard many arguments either way WRT warming up engines; I do not understand yours.
It's never been about profit. Tesla has a goal of electrifying the car market. Elon has stated he would consider making the rest of the industry switch to making EVs a success. Elon has his goals that he very reliably sticks to (Ignore the entertainment "news" companies that lie non stop). Tesla raised the price of their vehicles over and over again to stabilize demand, they didn't want 2 year wait times. Elon has stated he's not happy with how much the cars cost right now.
This is really off-topic, but while we can’t prove that she never sent an email we can look at the lack of evidence of this happening and conclude it’s unlikely. For example, the Republicans had years to find evidence of someone receiving or mentioning an email which wasn’t turned over but found nothing. That tells us that anyone confidently claiming that it happened is lying because there’s a 0% chance that they’d have suppressed that evidence for the entire Trump administration.

The First Amendment:

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It's since been expanded through court cases to extend from congress to every government entity including local ones.

The government is constitutionally forbidden from meddling with the press, even through private entities via the 14th amendment. The FBI and CIA meddled with twitter. The particulars aren't relevant. They're expressly forbidden from doing what they did.
AFAIK there are two resistors in parallel on each of those LED bulb, except of in the cheapest ones. If you destroy/unsolder a correct one (with higher resistance), the lamp is going to shine significantly less brightly but with higher energy conversion efficiency and with significantly less heating. If not a correct resistor has been dismounted, the lamp is going to shine too dimly to be useful.

PS. I have not tried this livehack yet, so i can not promise it works, but maybe it is important to clarify that my source is talking about 220V bulbs.

I'd say you have about as much control over your career trajectory as you do your home life (arguably more control over how your home life turns out). And I agree that memory is fickle and weird but I think there is a reason you so rarely hear someone say, they wished they had spent more time on their career rather than family. They recognize what brought/brings them happiness.
Interesting. Something that is off putting regarding lastpass is the complete lack of a native client, it strikes me as pure laziness & complacency. Maybe lastpass does in fact run natively, outside of the broswer, but requiring a web browser is ridiculous. I'm aware there's a native app for windows, but it's horrific.
I like their prediction about NFTs too. Got damn close. I wouldn’t say they’re straight up toxic for everyone but… they’re close to it.
In really large projects (e.g. SciPy as mentioned in the article), lazy imports make sense. Especially with the popularity of decorators, importing a file without any apparent module-level code will actually need to run a nontrivial amount of code. Multiply that by a few thousand files in a library with a tree of "import * from ..." and you're looking at perhaps seconds of startup time. Lazy importing can short-circuit that, but still make symbols available for ease of use.
Doesn't the NSA represent a huge portion of our signals intelligence capabilities as a country? How would that role be filled otherwise? Wouldn't the best people to do many of those new jobs still be the people who used to work at the (now defunct) NSA?
First the heater without the engine started for 10-15 minutes, then if it’s really cold I remote start the engine for 5 minutes before driving. But I avoid idling the car cold without running the heater first.
The oil embargo was in response to Japanese Imperialism in the Pacific, having already conquered a fair amount of territory. It wasn't just out of the blue with Japan sitting there behaving themselves.
I have myself witnessed a child being hit by a car and a few years back one died in my city. Both in school zones where cars sped through illegally. I'm in Germany with only 1/4 of the US car fatality rate per person.
All of that is still happening in the populist movement, both left (Russell Brand, Jimmy Dore, etc) and right (Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Robert Barnes, etc.). The populist movement which has been gaining traction through new media and new organizations outside of traditional parties.

Also, the “Woke” psyop used to destroy Occupy Wall St has now destroyed corporate America with ESG and Woke media scandals. As usual, the CIA and friends are bad at managing blowback.
I’m very concerned about where this is going. I can absolutely see the benefit of this technology and have used it a couple of times in the last week to genuinely save me time and come up with some ideas.

My concern is where this is going, if the marginal cost to produce, effectively, infinite content is zero then what’s the point here? What’s are we doing and where are we going?

Is the aim ti get to a point where humans don’t have to do anything? It’s all taken care of? Because if AI can make our art, create all media formats of our content, handle problems and do a lot of our physical tasks then … what’s the point?

People look at me as if I’m mad, but in the space of 12 months we’ve gone from “AI can’t even manage multiple timers” (not quite but if you live with a Siri then you get it) to “holy moly, I can’t tell if that painting was made by a human or not” which is bonkers.

I guess we need to see if we are at the start of the exponential curve or approaching a plateau.
I really doubt the claim that this is independent of the phrasing of the question.

I assume strongly that if you phrase the question as “how might your life be worse or better” people will also thing of negative alternatives.

The thing is when you only ask “how might your life be different” people will pull on what they have already thought about and most people have plans and dreams for improvements already in their mind.
Curious what you think of dashlane. Personally I find 1pw UI patterns a bit annoying and dashlane somewhat better
I am the guy that preheats his Honda to perfection. I will fly like a bat out of hell out of my front door in my boxers to start the car and run back inside to get ready for another 30 minutes. Yes, I am a total badass.

I’m not worried about maintenance because that is a fact of life. For Tesla’s too (mostly defects).

If your car breaks down shortly after you start driving it and the cabin is ice cold you’re in trouble. At least in a rural area.

My Note 4 worked for years, then for my SO, then again for me a while. In the end we only had to change the battery once and sold it to someone else, still serviceable if a bit slow.

Every form factor since has been a pain in comparison.
Some ICE cars have block heaters for this similar purpose.
> Have you guys considered changing the licensing to require larger organizations to contribute financially to the protocol?

Yes, but the concern is that this would chill Matrix network growth - e.g. larger orgs currently building on Matrix would feel victim of a rug-pull or a bait & switch. Whereas Matrix's success depends on it spreading as far and wide as possible... while somehow preventing a tragedy of the commons. We haven't ruled this out, though, if other attempts at funding fail.

> There's an idea out in the ether of solving spam by allowing users to set a bounty to send them a message, which is returned to the sender if the user accepts the message as non-spam.

This is an interesting one. We've always aimed to avoid Matrix being pay-to-play (e.g. eschewing tokenisation schemes). Instead, the angle we've taken has been to let users publish and subscribe to reputation feeds (a bit like email DNSBLs, but more transparent and less of a shakedown) in order to empower users to block stuff they don't want to see. But perhaps one could combine the two ideas: you could have a personal rep list which users pay to be on, and you get the payment if they turn out to be spammers - similar to systems like https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20181023-people-pay-20-.... Much like email, i'm not sure these semantics should be baked into the protocol itself. (But the infrastructure to support it could be - thus MSC2313: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/msc...)
Does that also make those moments more memorable? I don't have any experience in it, but seems like an interesting possibility that when things seem to slow down you remember them better. Or maybe you remember them even less?
It really doesn't matter that it was either Democrats, Republicans or both. It's that it was happening at all. The government should not be inserting itself into censoring speech of any kind, especially the sort they don't agree with. We have constitutional protections against this. It's bad, no matter which political party directed it.
Yeah, and some of the tweets reported by the FBI didn't violate TOS and were allowed to stand by Twitter.
Small nit - using a phone as a phone (voice calls) is fairly uncommon usecase anymore (speaking as a 40+ any my cohort, not even mentioning the younger generations). SMS et.al. is quite common still. But most non-SMS apps will probably not work on 4-6 year old phones anymore.
The only argument PEP 690 has is A) [performance on startup] or B) [when import functions is not used] in main body of the code.

For B), easy enough to run one of many linters to detect this case and have people write less bad code.

A) is way more subjective and can be fixed in many ways.

With the many more Python coders these days with less coding experience, personal feeling is please stop throwing these production issue causing features in that I have to fix. Glad the PEP is rejected.

Old programmer wisdom is to load all your configs and assumptions as early as possible to eliminate a whole space of problems with your code, making faster and easier to read/reason about later.
> Humans as a race have created art from literally nothing.

No, they didn't? Humans don't have any magic creative juices that allow them to come up with ideas out of thin air, that's silly. Ideas are created from our brain using our past experiences and knowledge, why do you think some of our earliest art is of animals?

Also, I'm not sure comparing artists to horse-drawn carriages is the best analogy to support your argument, considering horse-drawn carriages are almost nonexistent nowadays. I'd argue a better analogy would be something like chess or any other game. When computers beat humans at chess, nobody changed the rules of chess to make computers perform worse. People just acknowledged that computers were better.
That is an example of a privilege that people don't notice they have until pointed out.
I work on the repairs side of this industry (diagnostic tools), and have come to the conclusion that while the thermal expansion is an issue, it’s probably not the largest or most fundamental one.

When an engine idles (with no load), it produces relatively little heat. Comparatively, an engine running faster, under load produces much more heat. The engine will warm up more quickly and less evenly when loaded, likely leading to thermal stress, and possible mismatched thermal expansion. On the other hand, modern lubricants are very good at handling different temperatures.

The other thing to consider is that the engine is only one part of the vehicle, and various other components of the drivetrain may actually suffer more thermal stress from the idling than from immediate driving.
Not that I'm aware of, and I'd like to find some. It's a known fact that LiON batteries can spontaneously combust. I wish I had an easy metric which helped describe the risk of keeping old devices around.
Oh if only we had a super wealthy patron of sorts who could eliminate food banks with one squiggle in a cheque book
I may be terribly naive, but I just don't feel any safer b/c the NSA exists. I also don't believe this country has been under any serious threats since the NSA was created, from which it protected us.
Oil is more viscous in colder temps, especially at 0f and below. The oil needs to rise from the pan and up into the pistons, the piston seals assume a certain viscosity of oil. You want to have as little stress as possible until the oil reaches even just room temp. While revving the engine up won't immediately destroy it, that heat does not transfer from the pistons to all of the oil simultaneously.

Synthetic oils have a wider temp range where they maintain viscosity and lubricating properties. Of anything, always recommend good quality full synthetic oils for cold climates.
They've made performance improvements since the layoffs. It's clearly functioning fine.
Why are 3 letter agencies paying Twitter to moderate their own site?
Not a word though about the elephant in the room: circular imports.

It is absurdly easy in Python to end up with a circular import situtation, where no real circular dependency exists. E.g. you can't have A.a1 -> B.b1 and B.b2 -> A.a2. So, you are forced to layout your code in some quite awkward ways.

> Non-replaceable batteries have NO redeeming qualities in my opinion

Non-replaceable batteries contribute to lowering the price. If the producer can expect to sell more copies of the same product, the price of a single item can be lower.
We are rapidly going back to square one on the Web: to needing curated guides to good websites. This time, not because search engines don’t exist, but because search results have been gamed by content mills pushing garbage content. It’s almost like the web is turning itself inside out. The web you care about is to some extent “dark”, i.e. not discoverable by conventional means.

If systems like ChatGPT just become echo chambers (garbage content feeding AI generation of derivative garbage, ad infinitum), I kind of see things like ChatGPT simply turbo charging this creeping digital benightedness in the face of information over abundance.
How do you define expensive? I someone charges $7 for a coffee is that expensive or cheap?

To replace a iPhone 14 Max battery Apple charges $99. I'm pretty confident 3rd parties could do that for much cheaper. Especially if 3rd parties were allowed to make the battery or if batteries sizes were standardized.

Greenwald stuck to his guns as he always did when his audience decided that they'd rather embrace the overbearing/surveillance state as long as the court jester didn't win the election again, that's how I see it at least. I'd like to give a less flippant answer but I honestly can't see any difference in his views now and back then, both in US coverage and Brazil's coverage.
There certainly are languages like that, but I think you'll find there are tradeoffs to consider. Especially in commercial software.
You don’t like that people aren’t as open minded as you’d like, so you flipped on your values and now try to flag anything you disagree with(i.e. political content)?
