Entities, i.e. companies, are pretty careful everywhere about publishing photos of people for marketing purposes (which any website is) without permission of some sort. Whether it's in the terms of attending an event or it's a stock photo which presumably has a release form. I doubt individuals in Germany are much less indiscriminate about sharing on Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, and elsewhere than they are most places. And German law has very little teeth if the people doing the sharing aren't German.
Is there a structured form of tracing? Because I feel like this contextual information should easily be part of a trace.
> Updating the License: Wizards or its designated Agents may publish updated versions of this License. You may use any authorized version of this License to copy, modify and distribute any Open Game Content originally distributed under any version of this License.

So it sounds like their approach here is dependent on the interpretation of "any authorized version" to mean "authorized _by us_", which would allow them to declare past versions "unauthorized"? I'm not a lawyer, but that sounds.. unlikely to stick.
The system for storing and recalling stop combinations ("registrations") is called a combination action [0]. On a modern instrument, it's generally built with electronics, including a solid-state memory. It's also user-programmable. Usually, this is done through a "set" button: the organist holds down the set button and then simultaneously presses the button ("piston") that they want to program. The current state of all the stops that the piston controls is saved, and can then be recalled later by pressing the piston again.

On many instruments, the combination action features multiple "memory levels" (possibly hundreds!). Each memory level is an independent copy of the settings for all the user-programmable pistons, so e.g. the "general 1" piston can be programmed to recall one registration on memory level 1 and a different registration on memory level 2. There's usually an LED display or screen that shows the active memory level (they're named numerically), with accompanying buttons to increase and decrease it. Generally, on a shared instrument (e.g. at a music school or large church), an organist will be assigned a range of memory levels for their own use. Some combination actions even have a "lock" feature that makes a memory level read-only until it's explicitly unlocked, which helps prevent one organist from clobbering another's registrations if they accidentally punch in the wrong memory level.

Some older instruments (built before electronics) also have combination actions with varying designs and degrees of flexibility. I don't know much about them, but the Wikipedia link overviews some of them. Indeed, older systems often need to be set in the "guts of the organ." They might even require an organ builder to come configure them.

Some organs (e.g. small instruments, Baroque-era instruments, and modern instruments built in certain historical styles) don't have combination actions at all. In that case, all stops must be moved manually, either by the organist or by a helper ("registrant") or two. It can take time to get used to playing while a helper on either side of you manipulates the stops. It can also be nerve-wracking to be a registrant, knowing that if you lose your place in the music, you might mess up your colleague's performance!

The new Orange Pi 5 has a good price for the RK3588s it uses, and can support up to 32gb of RAM. My testing shows it being 3-4x faster than the Raspberry Pi 4 4gb.

Down side is it just released, so the software support is still in its infancy. And it doesn't have wifi+bt built in, so you need to use a dongle or use up the NVME slot for adding that functionality.

A modification I add is to ask them to do it for someone else once they're on their feet again. That's a pretty easy thing to agree to, and the anonymity of it allows the other person to make good on it if they feel that's important without putting any pressure on the friendship.
Yahhhh it's been a while for me :) I thought about googling but decided to gamble on my memory. Guess I lost :)
You can't revoke a license. Any change in the OGL will affect new products, not what was already made.
I think I might have misphrased what I meant. It is a truism that "people in the past find new technological advances in that past to be amazing, which we now view as trifles". It's more the fact that we now have AI programs which are crazy advanced compared to ELIZA, and yet we probably have very similar reactions now to ChatGPT, Dalle-2, etc, as those people in the 1960s did to ELIZA. And yet, in 60 years, barring civilizational collapse, people will look at ChatGPT and think "How quaint! How hilarious to think of that ludicrously primitive program as an AI!".

I guess that too is also a truism - "People in the future will look at our current technology and laugh", but somehow this one makes me feel things. The idea that what we have now is like a blunt 2x4 compared to the surgeon's scalpel that we might have in 60 years. (Or might not - who knows!)

I have a Miele C4 and there’s no way it’s going to last a lifetime. The mechanicals may be metal but everything else is made of plastic that seems to be getting more brittle as time passes. Mine has cracks and has broken in a couple of places and so far I’ve been able to glue it, but I should probably replace the case. Miele doesn’t seem to carry these parts for mine anymore so looking for used parts on eBay is probably my only solution.

Rather than take a chance buying somebody else’s cracked case, I’m probably going to replace it. When I do, I’m going to spend less money next time understanding that I’ll have to replace it after 5-10 years.
What does the DRM prevent, specifically? Any use of the camera ribbon cable interface by any non-licensed camera?

Edit edit: I still have no idea...see reply from 'mrbteveman below.

Old first edit (wrong): Apparently, yes. This comment[0](2019) explains it slightly more. Evidently the ribbon cable ("CSI interface") can be used by pretty much anything...as long as that thing is not a camera / doesn't need the usual on-board image processing.

Evidently this prevents anyone from coming out with pi-compatible cameras with different features, e.g. different resolutions/framerates/night vision/infrared/zoom/etc.

Yeah my new build had gigabit installed. It has become more of a customer demand thing prior to the law, as long as it’s available. There have been a lot of developments finished in the past 5 years with 1mbps copper, hopefully the law will prevent that travesty happening!
I did the same for https://markdowntable.jose.gr

My understanding is that this also puts the more robust "forks" like Pathfinder at risk.
> Why did Paizo use a license not designed by them?

I don't know their exact reasoning, but I always add licenses when publishing software I write, and they always are ones I didn't design (because I've never written a license myself). I don't think it's that crazy to use an established license that seems to be working well in a community you'd like to emulate when trying to launch you're own; I doubt Paizo had any more idea than the rest of us that WotC would pull something like this.

> And if they did a full rewrite, are they under any obligation at all to Wizards of the Coast? If they used the OGL to allow third-parties for Pathfinder, not D&D, what does this have to do with WotC? And cannot they simply switch to another license, if 2nd edition is truly a full rewrite?

My (admittedly primitive) understanding of licensing was that once something was released publicly with an indefinite license, it generally wouldn't be possible to retract that later. The copyright holder can change licenses as they see fit, but nobody will be bound by the new license unless they accept it or use a new version of the product that doesn't offer the old license. This leads me to theorize that one of a few things could be going on here:

1. The new version of the OGL (1.1) disallows you to continue using the old version (1.0) once you start using something with it. If this turns out to be the case, then people would be able to continue using the materials as-is at the last point where the OGL 1.0 was offered, but they wouldn't be able to use any future changes without accepting version 1.1 as a replacement for all of the preexisting content as well. WotC might have only intended this, but due to poor communications and/or wording in the license change, people got worried and then the narrative got out of control
2. The license works like I described in option 1 due to WotC knowing that they can't actually retroactively change the license for people already using it, but they intentionally obfuscated this to try to scare people into switching to using the new version even if they shouldn't technically have to
* The license does actually a say that it's overriding the previous one, which is not actually something a license is supposed to be able to. WotC either doesn't realize this or is hoping that in a legal battle they either can either prolong it to starve their opponents of resources or manage to convince a judge to rule against the existing consensus and establish a new precedent.

I think that option 2 is the most likely by a slight margin, but I might be biased as someone who played PF1 and now plays PF2. Option 3 would be the scariest to me given that a prolonged legal battle seems like it would be the most insulated from public opinion, which I think is mostly against the new license right now.

So you can't have a spell called "arcane missile" that does 1d4 damage every 2 levels of the caster? Can you really copyright the concept of an ability that deals (level // 2) * 1d4 damage to an enemy?

My understanding is that this is where things get tricky: realistically WotC probably can't go after anyone that creates an ability that is mechanically identical to DnD ability. Things like spell names, might be, but "fireball" is far too general to be copyrighted. But what about a spell called "fireball" that also has the same mechanics? That's where things can get complicated.

So what if they just doubled all HP values and damage values, and changed any names that are not unambiguously generic ("invisibility", "fireball", etc.) ? Damage values no longer overlap, and spell names are different. On what basis does WotC have to claim infringement?
Not really the same though, we have many options that ride on top of the BT OpenReach network so most urban places get many cheap options for internet. If you want fibre to the home then Virgin Media is still your main option which is a little annoying.

Elsewhere, “quants” with PhDs in astrophysics collate historical data with information about geography, weather, stock prices, and ship movements, searching for opportunities to place stock market bets on global trade.

I know that this is just an inevitable/necessary part of a functioning market, but it somehow it also seems a little bit sad that this kind of human intellectual horsepower is spent on things like this. I could say the same thing about the smart people who spend their time doing things such as making social media more addictive.

…the company may terminate the agreement if third-party creators publish material that is “blatantly racist, sexist, homophobic, trans-phobic, bigoted or otherwise discriminatory.

This makes me believe less that this is an organic push within WotC and more a push by a special interest group. Given that we know WotC didn’t write OGL 1.1, it would make sense that a special interest group funded it with the stipulation that they added the trans bit in.
No, we didn't. I looked up the specs when the topic came up and I think the data part was something like 2Mbps shared by everyone. The big "broadband" content that BT were hoping would fund the whole thing was analog pay TV, basically leveraging their telephone monopoly into a cable TV monopoly as well. Without that extra shared pay TV money it wasn't feasible to install an individual optical network terminal in everyone's house with the tech back then, and that's the big monopoly Thatcher's government balked at. In the end they did end up using another version of the same tech in some areas which used shared optical terminals between multiple houses that was telephony only - and I mean literally telephony only. A bunch of people found out about their high tech fibre optic lines when they couldn't get anything faster than dialup internet whilst all the people with normal copper lines had ADSL.

I wish it was anywhere near that "respectable".

I was visiting a college town for an away football game. This was the night before the game and some of my friends and I went out. I met these two guys at a college bar my friends and I went to. My friends were going back to our hotel but these guys (who we had all met maybe an hour before) had invited me to a party. It was still fairly early and I thought "Neat, this will be a different and interesting experience". Unfortunately it was - much more than I had imagined.

It's likely that if the circumstances were closer to what you've described the police would have taken me more seriously.

I should also probably add that this was in a period of my life where I was unknowingly experiencing untreated bipolar disorder. If you're not familiar with manic or even hypomanic episodes your risk assessment can be very warped. That was a large component of this situation.
In what way does it cause waste?
I'm almost annoyed the SaaS company in question profited from this for those 6 months before their costs started going back up again. Any IT Director who bought into this snake oil, allowed the person access to their codebase, and accepted their changes without review should also be fired.

I goofed on my calculations a little bit -- steno boards are designed so that one finger can depress two keys at once, so in principle you can actually hit all 20 keys simultaneously. You can't just hit any two keys with the same finger, though, so I don't believe it gets quite to 2^20 possibilities.

(Also, I computed only 20 choose 10, when you can of course have any smaller subset as well. I guess the point here is, a stenotype gives you even more than 184k inputs.)

Regarding the ability to copyright the "method of playing" or "rules" of a game:

https://www.rpglibrary.org/articles/faqs/fl108.pdf

The US Copyright Office says it can apply to text or description, but not to the rules.

WoTC did have a patent issues for MtG, but I dont think that's going to work for D20 rules. Perhaps they will attempt to patent the OneD&D release?

Either way, it's quite clear that corporations will attempt to colonize and control our culture, and lie and scheme their way to expand their profit extraction.
For what?

As a router or small server for running DNS, PiHole, and related services I'd recommend one of the Rk3588 systems, I bought a NanoPi R6S. The 8gb flavor is $120, $140 with a nice metal case. It's pretty fast, I compared compiling rust and it was 6-7 times faster than a RPi4 8GB. Even has two 2.5gbe interfaces.
I am starting a Master's degree in CS from Georgia Tech. (OMSCS program). Tuition is exceptionally low and you may have the option of using government loans to pay your bills, depending on your financial circumstances.

The economics of a master's degree are often debated (they often use standard tuition rates which are much, much higher than OMSCS), but even if it's not technically the most financially superior decision to make, I get to sit out this economic downturn (and the resulting workplace stresses) while learning cool and interesting new things for fun.
I can't be specific but your answer seems correct based on my experience.

it also makes it more challenging (unintentionally?) when trying to use the camera on other OSs like Ubuntu core.
You are mandating infra that will never be used and isn't needed.
Unfortunately ISPs not interested in that, too many legal letters because of file sharing users. So instead they they usually consider it a premium feature that they up-sell to gamers. Imagine how different the web would look like with many users with symmetrical connections, Opera Unite envisioned something like this https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/opera-unite.html
Of course they reflect build costs, as well as regulatory costs...
If builders are mandated to make new homes able to access the fastest speed available (usually gigabit), then there is competition to provide that fastest speed for the cheapest price. This mandate enhances competition in the ISP space.
You can also use the aeropress chamber as a zero bypass pourover - grind finer than usual and/or double up on filters to slow it down.
My dad lives in rural North Dakota. He's not a farmer, but he knows all the farmers in the area and does some work at his neighbor's farm for something to keep him busy in retirement. I sent him the Ars Technica article about this. This is his text back to me

"But they kept the copyright to all data and electronic tools. You have to buy their equipment and many manuals amounting to over 20k for each piece of equipment in most cases. I talked to one of the john deere mechanics, he said he only knows of one farm that has done so because of the price but did so because he also hired a guy that use to work for john deere. I thing the Most important thing farmer's get out of it is the access to the diagnostic codes and JD manuals that can be used to trouble shoot the problem once you have the code. I've seen the software used and it is dynamite. It talks the mechanic through most steps of the trouble shooting. Since everything is computerized, almost need it to understand the electronic issues which of course is all stored on the individual computer components. One for transmission,engine, power train couplings and all other devices. Yet again, it costs approximately 5-7 hundred dollars just for the mechanic to show up at the farm, each time.. so if it doesn't get fixed or no parts til the next day, that's 2 trips which doesn't include any labor...

If you reduced your b2b exchanges to the simplest schema, what would they look like? For example a response to a bid could look like this:

Emphasis on the word "data", as in not your natural language communications, unless there's the possibility to describe them in such a structured way.
UK has their own problems when it comes to ISPs. One of the biggest ones is that it's legal to advertise and sell VDSL or DOCSIS as fibre, so as a result most people have absolutely no way to compare the market and pick real fibre when everything is "fibre", and there's no market pressure to deliver it when you can simply sell cheaper copper-based tech as "fibre".

Another one is that speeds are always expressed in bullshit terms such as "superfast", "ultrafast", etc and raw numbers are avoided, making shopping around difficult.

It relies on what articles particularily. There was an article about the advancement of AI in China after chinese researchers build a langage model able to produce some poetry in chinese. Since that model was build 1 1/2 years after an equivalent model in english by us computer engineers, the author of the article concluded China was far behind in matter of AI developement and there was nothing to be afraid of... What ???

No related to financial press chanel, I have just watched a documentary comparing development of big chains of grocery stores in the EU (carrefour, intermarche, and so on), US (amazon fresh), and some large Chinese grocery stores chain (with its vertical integration). The chinese stores chain is clearly ahead of amazon fresh, which is itself clearly ahead of EU stores. In China, AI is everywhere in the supply chain, from automatic surveillance (camera and microphone) of pigs elevage to detect disease at very early sign, to automatic delivery through self-driving car. Everywhere were they can save a buck or reduce production cost.

The advancements since GPT-3 version 1 have mostly been better training. (Well, RLHF is more data as well, but not in the same sense.)

There's also this DeepMind paper (https://www.deepmind.com/publications/an-empirical-analysis-...) saying people need to focus on better training more than data. Of course, there's not much more freely available text available anyway.
