Apparently Toady has had several 6 figure opportunities just to license the name that he's turned down.

The game is made for the love of making it and what little money they made was always just about allowing them to keep doing what they love. The resulting good will from their 20 years of labor and refusing to sell out paid off in the end when they needed it. Honestly, I'd have bet that if they released the "premium" version for free on bay12 but $30 on Steam they'd still make the majority of what they have.
It'd be logistically easier, I just doubt Reddit is going to put forth the money and staff time required to enforce it. Current enforcement is based on reporting, I believe, and don't reports go to mods first.

And they definitely will organize off site. Discord is huge for this. I also bet they would use VPNs since a lot of them have the barest hint of tech knowledge and a burning ideological conviction they're doing something important.

The only knowledge this system knows is whatever it can scrape and regurgitate that appears truthful. A whole bunch of positively true, but also many cases of falsely positive.

This system can’t prove its own work (at least not yet) before publishing the results. It just publishes, which is similar to Wikipedia and Google.
That's awesome. Imagine having an AI acting as the judge and another one acting as the lawyer. It would basically automate our court system. But we do need our language models to have a larger short-term memory than merely 8k tokens.

It's depressing that despite how much information is painstakingly gathered, available for free on the internet, people still choose to get their information about economics and policy from memes that have no basis on reality. For example, whenever you see someone mention the World Bank's studies of the reduction, you'll inevitably see a highly upvoted response of how this is actually bad because it means subsidence farmers' livelyhoods are being replaced by sTArVatION wAGeS. However, if they bothered to read the source, they'd know that the international poverty isn't measured by wages at all but by consumption.

All digital artists need to do to prove that their art is not AI-generated is to record their screen and show a start to finish recording of themselves painting the digital image from scratch as proof.

> Human voice inflection is hard to mimic because you have to have a contextual understanding of what is being said

It's a hard problem even for a human. One of the readers for The Economist always emphasizes the wrong word in phrases describing monetary sums. "China's GDP that year was 600 billion dollars, and now it's 8 trillion." It drives me nuts.
i had a similar issue with the italian style mokapot but i think i fixed it.

The key issues were

* clean after every use (just with water)

* don't fill too much water, the water will touch the coffee for too long and make it sour, aim for just below the pressure valve

* don't tamp down the coffee grounds, just fill to the line

* dont have too fine a grind on the coffee

it sounds like a lot but I'm making great coffee now, i couldn't figure out the aeropress somehow

Fastmail is just normal IMAP unlike Gmail, so it works with email clients without weirdness around folders and archiving. It also supports native push notifications on iOS, which Gmail does not. And it works well with your own domain names.

Make sure also to read Warren Buffett's take, written way back in 1999:

https://fortune.com/1999/11/22/warren-buffett-on-stock-marke... [a]

For me, the most shocking passage of his piece is this one:

> ...from the end of 1964 through 1981. Here’s what took place in that interval:

DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE
Dec. 31, 1964: 874.12
Dec. 31, 1981: 875.00

Now I’m known as a long-term investor and a patient guy, but that is not my idea of a big move.
And here’s a major and very opposite fact: During that same 17 years, the GDP of the U.S.–that is, the business being done in this country–almost quintupled, rising by 370%. Or, if we look at another measure, the sales of the FORTUNE 500 (a changing mix of companies, of course) more than sextupled. And yet the Dow went exactly nowhere.

As minor as it is, having a settings screen you can tweak ingame instead of a .txt config file in the install folder you have to twiddle with and then relaunch the game is a real nice change.
Agreed.. my next gambit is to use the aeropress paper filters, which apparently fit. I do have the right flow now -- it drips out of the spout without making a mess. I made some coffee that basically exploded out of it and needed the lid to contain the mess. But I'm past that. And if I have the aeropress filters, I'm pretty close to getting an aeropress too.

Fun you say this, but I panicked a few OpenBSD releases before by just using a USB hub and some SD card adapters.

That kind of legal ass-covering is expedient when you are going to explicitly reproduce someone else’s source-available work. It’s cheaper in that case to go through the whole clean room hassle than to risk getting into an intractable argument in court about how your code that does exactly the same thing as someone else’s code came to resemble the other people’s code so much.

But, for the general case, the argument still stands. I have looked at GPL code before. I might have even learned something from it. Is my brain infected? Am I required by law to license everything I ever make as GPL for the remainder of my days?

> When I was a kid, no school had a swim team because we didn't have pools. Can't put in a new school without state of the art gym, sports fields, often a pool. Giant auditoriums so your taxes can pay whack-job public speakers.

When I was a kid I attended at least two schools built decades earlier, that had pools, but they weren't in use because they could no longer afford the cost of maintenance and (I assume) insurance and such. None of the newer buildings had pools at all. Ones they've built in the couple decades since I graduated don't have pools, either.

These weren't in, like, slums, either. These were relatively rich districts.

I associate pools with 60s and 70s schooling, mainly. Was probably really damn nice.

[EDIT] Not sure why the downvotes. My point is the parent is extrapolating an awful lot from a very narrow set of experiences. Maybe that wasn't clear enough.

The foreword by Paul E. McKenney makes a great case to read this book even if you don't care about Rust at all:

> Which brings us to another group of potential readers, the Rust skeptics. While I do believe that most Rust skeptics are doing the community a valuable service by pointing out opportunities for improvement, all but the most Rust-savvy of skeptics would benefit from reading this book. If nothing else, doing so would enable them to provide sharper and better-targeted criticisms.

> Then there are those dyed-in-the-wool non-Rust developers who would prefer to implement Rust's concurrency-related safety mechanisms in their own favorite language. This book will give them a deeper understanding of the Rust mechanisms that they would like to replicate, or, better yet, improve upon.

Almost no countries have a directly-elected chief executive. Certainly that's not the case in the bulk of countries with parliamentary systems. For instance, outside of his own district ("riding", I think they call it there), no Canadian even saw Justin Trudeau on the ballot, and the few who did only saw him as a candidate for Member of Parliament, not Prime Minister.

What typically happens in those countries is that the party hacks of whichever party (or coalition of parties) has a majority get together and decide who's going to be the Big Cheese. The average voter has little or nothing to say about it. Voters who are registered members of the majority party or parties may have a (small) degree of influence, but the ones who belong to other parties don't get a say.

Worse, most Canadian parties actually charge you dues to belong to them (to its credit, Trudeau's party is not one of these). No pay, no say.
"someone who did not know they were infringing and had no reason to believe that they were."

Can this be said by microsoft? They explicitly chose to not include hidden repositories by their paid customers, likely because they knew that those customers would sue them if proprietary code was used as training data.

Apple seemed to have chosen not to include GPL in the app store for very similar reasons. Their term of service require a permission which is incompatible with the terms of GPL, and knowing that GPL software tend to include multiple rights owners, Apple chose to go the route of not allowing GPL.

And last, authors has requested to have their works removed from the training data. It is part of the lawsuit. Can Microsoft then still claim that they did not know they were infringing?

> jamming bad books

I should clarify, it's not just "bad books" that were the issue. There definitely were bad books, but there were also books which I've reread and enjoyed. The issue is more pertaining to the context of the books. Being required to regurgitate things about a book which you didn't have time to read thoroughly, being forced to focus not on the content but on how you can write a report that will please your particular teachers tastes. This, combined with numerous other issues, created terrible associations.
>While here Gstaad is still open to the "common man"

The cost to exist and engage in the day to day commerce of life there is sufficiently high that the common man does not and mostly cannot bother hence no need for other forms of exclusivity.

If that rule was enforced, huge swathes of the so called power mods (and admins) would be removed. That's probably why, much like Twitter, they declined to hire me on to work on anti-abuse technology.

I'd say that's a feature, not a bug. I've done it. In my particular case shortly after the beginning of covid some mods wanted to ban all discussion of hobbyist medical 3D printing, things like 3D printed masks and even those Prusa face shields.

I didn't think that we had the expertise to be the judges of truth in that area (it was during those few weeks where the governmentwas saying "don't use masks", and these moderators agreed with that), and the relationship quickly deteriated.

> Human voice inflection is hard to mimic because you have to have a contextual understanding of what is being said

I think that's correct if we are talking about the author reading his book. But if we are using another person, they have no way to learn the correct vocalization other than using the text. And that's the same input data that the AI is dealing with, so it should be possible for them to be as good as non-authors reading the book.

If you buy a gTLD domain through a registrar, your ownership of the domain is bound by the rules established by ICANN [1][2]. If you purchase an eTLD+1 [3] subdomain from omg.lol (as part of the offered services) you're not covered by [1][2] but instead by [4, Section 1.5 part B, Section 3.2 part A].

What this means is OP can arbitrarily shutdown their offering at their sole discretion and, as a result, you'll lose access to the eTLD+1 you've purchased (domain, email, all gone). However, if you purchase a gTLD domain through an ICANN accredited registrar, the registrar can't unilaterally do the same (even if the registrar implodes, you still own the domain and you can move it elsewhere).

The weirder thing is that redditors make it possible to own categories.

The name of the subreddit shouldn't matter much at all. For each category there are several subreddits but people don't actively move to the subreddits with the best moderators.

For aggregators as a whole, it's the same. Places like https://tildes.net/ don't have many visitors even though Reddit's flaws should incentivize significant amounts of users to try other aggregators.
None of that requires a non-grid based approach. Many puzzle games are grid based but have smooth animation and movement, and rendering it all in 3D is pretty orthogonal. The big problem would be making the entities non-abstract enough that their animations could make some kind of sense visually.
State Department Recognizes Türkiye as Turkey’s Formal Name
You can move between registrars, but the registrar's not the one that you're leasing the domain from; they're just a reseller.

The entity that you're actually leasing the domain from is the registry operator-- such as Verisign for .com or PIR for .org. And, yes, it's still a lease relationship-- while there are some ICANN-mandated consumer protections around your "purchase" of a domain, if you stop paying your annual renewal (or run out of whatever amount of time you've prepaid), that domain isn't yours any more.

Omg.lol is operating the same way (albeit not under ICANN oversight, as they're not running a gTLD); they've just cut out the middleman and are leasing subdomains directly rather than via third-party registrars.
This would probably make the situation worse. You'd remove the incentive for people who moderate for the good of their own community, leaving only those who do so for the power they get (which are probably worse mods, though I don't have a citation for that).

Growing up, I wouldn't have fathomed what it meant to be a screen writer. I literally did not know what the job entailed, other than 'writing'. Nothing.

My Uncle was an Engineer, hanging out with him I saw how that worked, became interested a bit, ended up recognizing how important 'Math' etc. was, worked on a couple of related projects etc.. Eventually getting an internship because of a family member. It was a small favour but a big deal.

And even aside from opportunities, all of the small things, habits, perspective and behaviours of a class of people expected to perform certain functions.

Anyone can be whatever but it's far more likely that those who are exposed, who have role models, behind the scenes access, internships etc are going to get opportunities.

Representation does matter I think, that said it depends a lot on context. For politics, judicial system it matters existentially. In pop culture, especially for kids I think it's important that they 'see themselves' in roles. For a lot of things however I don't think it matters at all.

In my personal experience the amount of water poured inside the moka pot makes a big difference. The more water you pour in, the higher temperature the coffee brews.

If you pour the maximum amount of water that fits inside, then your coffee will brew close to the boiling point of water, which is too hot and makes the coffee bitter.

If you pour less amount of water, then the coffee brews at a lower temperature.

The principle is that the coffee is pushed out by both the steam and the expanding trapped air inside the moka pot. The more expanding trapped air you have there, the less pressure you need from steam, so the coffee starts brewing earlier.
