I have never stopped pirating since I got internet. My TV provider gives me Netflix, I have HBO Max through a sweet deal, amazon because of the delivery and Disney because a friend share the account, yet I still download all the shows I want, for example, I downloaded House of the Dragon week after week while I watched it on HBO Max, I think the only episode I watched pirated was the leaked one.

Why? Because I automated this process along time ago and also because I know sooner or later I am going to stop paying for that and this way I am prepared for it, because I don't have Apple or Rakuten, or many others. Because I have my own library of stuff (paid, and pirated) that goes back decades and I can access it from anywhere in the world.
I'm really not counting on their rationality.

You can't compare the US and Iran on their records concerning threats. The US does mostly follow through.
That's just it. I see it as follows. Back in the 2000s, the iPhone came out. Especially with the 3G, it was miles ahead of the competition, and it took Android manufacturers five years to catch up and overtake it.

I believe Tesla holds - or, held - a similar position. They had a head start in many areas, but they could not keep it up.

One big difference is quality; Apple phones have great build quality, always have - although they had issues with bending and holding the phone a certain way iirc. Nothing like that in recent years though. But Teslas are known for poor build quality, mainly in the bodywork - expensive construction methods, poor and inconsistent spacings, etc.

Tesla hasn't innovated in recent years. Their last 'big' one was announcing the semi, cybertruck and a new Roadster, but it went radio silent for all of those for years after the announcement until recently when they finally started delivering the first semis.

Apple on the other hand has consistently released a new phone every year since the iphone 1, and more models and innovation to boot.

Tesla had so much money but they don't seem to have invested it efficiently. They also failed to advance their self-driving much further, which seemed to be the USP they were pushing for for a while.

Its owner messing around with the stock price by announcing a privatization, then buying Twitter on what seemed like a whim was another big issue of course. He lost a lot of credibility over the years.

I think Tesla will pivot from a car manufacturer to a battery manufacturer, and that its long-term strategy is its Turbocharger network. Electric cars are here to stay, and whoever owns the charger network now will benefit for a long, long time - like the oil industry has for a hundred years on fuel.
My misunderstanding is probably on the very definition of "sentient", which the dictionaries limit to having senses and feelings. Actually not only dictionaries, because according to different legislations quite a few animals are classified as sentient beings. Now a machine will necessarily have senses, while feelings are at the least signaling mechanisms. None of which are really something too fancy, so you must be meaning something else/more to the sentience, something not covered by dictionaries. Something more that "the ineffable" or "je ne sais quoi"...

PS: a machine can't think? Why did you say that? Because it cannot be sentient? Is thinking the difference making one sentient? Then maybe we should analyze "thinking" instead, as it's a term definitely easier to check.

Auth is pretty easy to implement, but difficult to get and keep right. Then there are the nooks and crannies that crop up and appear and get discovered that you have to be aware of and keep up with. I am of course biased, but it seems to me that paying a company to keep up with the rapidly changing environment is much more efficient than trying to do it yourself.

And with WebAuthn and Passkeys -- you can implement that yourself without too much trouble. It's not trivial but not impossible, but the same argument applies -- nooks, crannies, corner cases, risks, etc.
I like using the Kobo store, because it sells some of its books DRM-free. When it does use DRM, it lists the book as being DRMed, and Kobo DRM is easy to remove anyway.
This would be a fun idea. Especially if this was combined with your watchlist. The website could decide you have most stuff on your wishlist for service X, automatically cancel/subscribe, and send you an e-mail with a summary of what you can watch in the upcoming month.
I don't think people (in general) think children *should* be watching porn, it's more the combination of these factors:

1. This law won't prevent anyone with any amount of motivation from watching porn

2. This law will create an avenue for personal details to be compromised, certainly with association to "porn" in general and possibly to actual content

3. This is coming from Louisiana which would rather legislate an issue than educate children on how to handle these issues properly
Of course some do. The point is the vast majority do NOT want the interior of a Tesla.

They want everything in the same darn place that 99% of cars have it, with physical switches to be able to change things so you can just feel what you are doing without taking your eyes off the road.

Most people see the interior of a Tesla as a complete gimmick.
> They also have by far the best charging network.

In the US.

And the US drives these crazy valuations.
I take it you're not shopping for new cars then? the cheapest new car I'm aware of that has analog gauges is a porsche.

btw I have the same preference, just letting you know you are in for a disappointment.

> Many of these companies have a small portion making most of the profits, and all the others eating them up (see: VR, Voice).

Depends on your time horizon. You can fire allof engineering tomorrow. Costs will drop dramatically, revenue stays where it is. But over time things will stop working and your competiton will take over with new features and being able to keep the lights on when something breaks. Same applies to many departments. Short time dispensible, long term absolutely not.

Plenty of folks didn't, but even in the 90s and 2000s there was still a good reason to play ball, esp. if you were in a white collar STEM field.

Dude might have grabbed his crotch on the way out, but he probably made $$$$$ for 20-30 years. Modern hires deal with just as much BS but often for lower pay and less long-term stability.
Open to it? I practice it when I find it the appropriate response to the market.

I will usually pirate video under one or more of the following conditions:

- I already own or owned a copy of the film at some point in my life

- The film or show isn't available for streaming or even purchase

- The streaming quality is vastly inferior to the format I can pirate

- The film or show can be streamed but with no option besides "free with ads"

- I have good reason to believe that those responsible for making the film won't receive a red cent

I've been finding myself pirating more often recently because I find the quality of streaming video to often be intolerable. It may be alright for brand spanking new shows, but I like to watch a lot of older content, and the quality of the video often totally blows. I'm talking a crapton of compression, and what I suspect to be upscaled standard def rather than actual HD or 4k.

What blows my mind is that a ~250mb mkv file I torrented in under 30 seconds usually blows streaming quality out of the water. I get that torrents are on a much smaller scale, but come on, it's peer to peer file delivery that it almost immediately ready to watch with no buffering or ads or massive disk space needed.
Yes true but as a parent it’s not as easy as you suggest. In particular it’s extremely difficult for less educated and poorer parents to block porn access.
Sugar is much more likely to ruin lives. Maybe we can hold parents liable for poisoning their children?

Or I don't know, let parents parent without involving government in regulating indulgences.
Nitpick... This paragraph is somewhat confusing. I think it is worded incorrectly:

> Let's simplify the problem and implicitly transpose the matrix multiplication. Both A and B (our inputs) will have K (our reduction dimension) as the leading dimension. This doesn't really matter much in practice, but it simplifies our code a lot.

The code is

C[n * 16 + m] += A[k * 16 + m] * B[k * 16 + n];

Which means that actually *m* is the leading dimension of A with stride 16, and for B it is *n* with stride 16.
One thing I didn’t see addressed in the article is how they know you live in LA, or, even in the USA (in the case of Mike Lee’s wanting to take this national)? It’s not like ip addresses are conclusive proof of where you are located.

> So, this is about Apple's undocumented AMX instructions, issued from CPU, executed on a special accelerator execution unit.

CPU instruction -> AMX instruction -> AMX result -> CPU?

How are these kinds of things usually kept in sync/in a manageable state? Like does the CPU block until the AMX returns?
I think they care. But moderate level depression is not even considered an interaction, so often it gets dismissed as an annoying side effect you just need to learn to live with. Often the patient themselves doesn't even recognize it as a consequence of the drug, it just becomes their reality.
Yeah, I apologize. I see this "fact" being brought up all the time and it frustrates me because it seems so disingenuous.

so maybe regulators should introduce nullifying noncompetes with certain cases, not nullifying them in every circumstance. but still, they serve an obvious purpose, even if you are laid off by that company. the idea is you are given confidential info that you are not supposed to use because that's unfair competition. not that you're likely to care
> There was a survey a few years ago of how much more people would be willing to pay for cars that could drive themself, and the median answer was $0. This is because quite a few people gave a negative number, that is, they would pay extra for a car that could not drive itself.

I think there's an inherent distrust (which I share) of giving technology the power to end our lives with one bug. Trust in technology, in general, is pretty low right now, so that reflects back on perceived future technology where one bad steer or missed brake ruins your life. Although I happen to share this pessimism with the human aspect of driving as well, I've almost died before because I wasn't focused while driving (IRL nerd sniping basically), and I know it could happen again in the future no matter how much I want to be a safe driver.

The truth is, if full self driving cars actually happened, with safety statistics better than humans and with a low barrier to entry, you can bet that people would change their opinion real fast. Much like Americans who have a revelation after experiencing European or Asian public transit, the realization that they could have an extra hour per day that was previously spent staring at a road, would be a big motivator to change opinions on technology. Add in that three of your friends already use it daily and they're not dead yet, and you rode with them and it seemed like a safe driver.
Is such a move not one of the purposes of these agencies staffed by (supposedly) experts and run by appointees? Legislature is so dysfunctional that the House can't elect a speaker at this very moment, and who knows if such a measure would even see the light of day in committee let alone get to the floor if the lobbyists got wind of it.

If the lawmakers take issue with the ruling they can issue a mandate to roll it back, no?
Regardless, it's still 10x overvalued if we're simply considering it to be a carmaker.

It's currently 7x the value of Ford with a fraction of the production.
Our Family went straight from the 8088 + cga graphics to the pentium 100mhz (really an overclockerd 90mhz model) + sound blaster card + matrox something and a decent Sony screen .

Quite a big jump :)
There are still intellectual property laws in place that could protect the original companies. Non-competes stifle innovators at big companies from being able to leave and pursue their own ideas that are in the same domain as the parent company.
I don't know about the implementation here but it's too easy for young people to access pornography. I know teachers and I hear horror stories of 10 year old boys being caught in the bathroom watching elderly porn. It just seems impossible for kids to grow up without the over sexualization of everything nowadays. Porn stars are becoming video game streamers because they know their target demographic is young teens. We are doing an insane social experiment with the next generation.
Let's try the more charitable "unjustified certitude" instead of "lie".
The law requires Pornhub to use a government service (LA Wallet) to verify the license, allowing the Louisiana government to log the event.
The terms should be changed. A violation of terms that they themselves created isn’t automatically right. It’s unclear it’s even technically right, let alone morally or strategically.

This has “kickstarter bans Unstable Diffusion” vibes.

Can anyone cite the relevant TOS section? It’d be good to know how far they’re trying to extend the moderation umbrella.
I personally think that’s fine. There are still many benefits to an open source but no contributions model (such as others can see how you did things, it can be forked).

Taking contributions requires effort on the part of the maintainer and I think it’s completely fair to want to open the code but not deal with that aspect of open source.

Of course it doesn't. I'm just being facetious since conservative talking points are all about freedom when most of their policies are the exact opposite.
I disagree with this judgmental sentiment. There isn’t an age where you figure out life and know all the answers. People change trajectories all the time. Life is hard and unclear and it’s important to reevaluate
> So why not just offer an instruction set that matches the base hardware architecture?

That's pretty much what a VLIW is. The problem is, well, it matches the base hardware architecture. Any change at all in μarch means a full rewrite of any binary code you might ever want to run on the chip. The Mill folks (who are essentially doing a VLIW with lots of clever heuristics/tricks to try and extract more parallelism from the code, on par with mainstream out-of-order chips) are unusually clear about that. Part of the point of a generic ISA like RISC-V is to act as a layer of abstraction, and the "close to the metal" approach you're describing doesn't do that.
The challenge with this is actually supporting creators for complex works that are published by these companies.

Take a TV show for example - hundreds of people work on these things. There's no real way to support the show when you pirate something. TV shows don't have patreons or kickstarters.

Piracy is quite attractive because of how hostile the copyright holders are to end users. Sticking it to the megacorps that treat us with such disdain, even in these small ways, feels great. But this leaves a difficult question of how to actually support the people who are making the thing.

As far as I can tell, if you are serious about this, the closest thing to directly supporting a complex creative endeavor like a TV show is to "purchase" it from Amazon. Of course, you realize you "own" nothing, and Amazon still takes its cut, but at least it's a "sale" for the specific work in some spreadsheet.
It is bad for them, as most people likely will go somewhere else then, before providing ID. Porn sites aren't exactly rare content and hard to find on the internet.
Did he create the artists.csv file himself, or did he copy it from somewhere ?

This eagerness to attribute racism and 'white supremacy' to people has made the accusation pointless IMO.

I think the BlackLivesMatter movement was a big scam that fueled riots which cost people lives and a ton of economic damage while riding on a wave of legitimate but overblown criticism of police violence. Am I a white supremacist now ?
Yup. This is the US in a nutshell. Going to absurd lenghts to enforce puritanism with zero parenting effort.

If you're a kid and your parent don't give a damn and set you free on the internet you will be exposed to porn.

Why talk to your kids and educate them + maybe do your best to limit their exposure to things you don't agree with when you can clutch your pearls and demand ridiculous things like this?

This will definetly backfire. It's a sad state of afair that reminds me about some dumbass local politicians somewhere that tried to make pi equal 4 since using 3.14 was too hard.
Families will be allowed to sue the porn companies if their kids are exposed to pornography on their websites.
Obesity is a problem too - no chocolate without ID /s

What I've learned about building a macOS app in 2022
How many of you are open to the piracy of your work product, by people who work for your company's competitors? Or by someone else on your team pirating your code and claiming it as their own?

I oppose piracy because I recognize that I am not entitled to things produced by others, even if there is literally no cost to reproduce them. (Unless the author him/herself supports said piracy!) The fact that I make enough money to afford these things (when/where they are available), as I suspect many of you do, makes the idea of piracy, frankly, ridiculous.

Such entitlement!
They do have to record it, because it needs to be auditable if it's questioned legally.
Every time there is an article about Tesla, the vast majority of comments here are either too critical, too ignorant, or just FUD. It's too unbalanced, no other company (good or bad) gets such bad treatment here. I see many of the HN audience here are just repeating the media narrative without their own experience or even trying to understand the topic. Yes, Tesla is moving at the forefront of EV development, and yes, sometimes not everything is delivered as promised or on time. But on the other hand, this is HN, we're supposed to love new technology and engineering! Why so negative? It's pathetic.
Will this apply to 4chan?
Cyclists have cars too and pay the same taxes, since it’s basically unavoidable in the US.

But also bikes cause negligible damage to infrastructure and barely require any resources compared to cars, so the costs are usually much lower for bike infrastructure.

The costs of violating OFAC far exceed ANY gain TI would see from selling to Iran. You're wrong. Stop posting and go read about the semiconductor supply chain.
Heh, and so there it is; you are insulted and feeling defensive.

Would it blow your mind to hear I agree, and never said anything to the contrary? Probably, if you weren’t feeling defensive.

Can competitors source the raw metals required in sufficient quantities to put bigger batteries in their cars?
I think that’s fine if en mass that was happening.

What causes corporations to sit up and take note is that when things are presented as a paid option with reasonable terms, people pay. However unreasonable terms (as we see with multiple streaming services, with adverts or minimal good content unless you pay again) increase piracy, not underconsumption.

What motivation would people have, when they feel they are being ripped off, and are presented with an alternative with no demonstrable downsides, to not consume?

People would happily pay but it’s impossible to do so in a reasonable or indeed fair way.
There is about 42% of population which do not support George Floyd protests. White mode is also not really racist: at least it is less racists than certain members of US government.

> Given the hostility of the current Supreme Court to federal agencies

Maybe it's overreach by federal agencies when they create their own law.

There is a distinction between authorizing an agency to figure out how to get something done and letting one make new law.

Dramatically limiting the power of agencies to make up their own new laws seems like a good thing.
> And then there's in house software creation, vs everyone else. Software makes their use of their motors more efficient.

You think automakers don't know about software? You do realize that what the ECU has to do to keep internal combustion engines running as efficiently as they do today is at least an order of magnitude more complex that electric motor management

> That's before you have the problem with how to get rid of your non EV business.

That's an asset, not a liability. Some places in the world are unlikely to have the infrastructure to support a conversion to EVs in the next decade or two. It doesn't mean we stop trying but having mature technology that you don't need to invest a lot in to support a niche use case is a good thing, not a bad thing.

> Then you have battery tech, opening lithium refining facilities, owning more of the supply chain. Everyone else will be paying extra for batteries for decades.

There's no reason to believe that Tesla's suppliers will remain exclusively theirs unless they've signed massive longterm deals that the public is unaware of.
If you allow a company to hire someone, then they left their current job, move to another place (worse if it is international and require visa) then the company says sorry but we have to let you fo without this being illegal. Now why this is different?. This at least restore some of the power balance.
I got fed up with streaming years ago and have just been curating a small collection of physical media instead. Despite that, I still pirate digital copies because it's simply easier for actually viewing than ripping my own copies.
