> Unfortunately I think he's conflating typescript's role and a library with broken type definitions (I have no idea whether the type definitions he's had problems with are provided by the library or a community effort that may not keep pace with the official library). When the type definitions don't match the official library it can definitely cause a tremendous amount of frustration and make one doubt the usefulness of types.

I am not trying to cast blame on any part of the TypeScript system. I have tremendous respect for the TS team and the problems they have had to solve to get this far. My point is, is it actually worth it? Whether people document their libraries is part of the equation, even if it may not be a direct responsibility of the TS team.

I thought things might get better as the community matures, but I am still dealing with issues that seem to sometimes outweigh what I get from it.

And I want to be clear as well that I mean to shed light on this thought and hear people's opinions. I am still open minded, and will continue to decide whether to use JS or TS depending on many variables whenever that decision comes my way. For personal projects I am currently in the boat that I would not choose TypeScript.

I mean, that's something that happens quite frequently. Shargi. Tahbaz. Vafadari. Levinson.

But it seems like people ignore something that is a regular occurrence while exaggerating what happens at Gitmo. Why is that?
Possibly, who knows! On the one hand you lose a clear predictor of sudden power peaks, but on the other hand the ability to pause/resume/pick your own time probably spreads out the usage more across the day so the kettles have less of a direct impact.

I wonder if these days the grid operators also monitor internet statistics in some way.

Look at the first denominator seen in both lines of the equation, the last denominator in the first part of the equation, and the second denominator in the second part of the equation.
> Since when does copyright require permission to learn from the copyrighted material?

Ah, but you are anthropomorphizing an algorithm. What is happening inside the computer you call learning, but it is just some mathematical function. Other people might not agree that this is learning, and might call it "mixing" or "copying".
The very first denominator seen is (2π)^2n, the last denominator on that line is the same, the first denominator of the second line is π^2n+1 and the second denominator in the second line is the same. Are you not seeing that?
I might have misunderstood you.

"humans learn on copyrighted stuff therefore it's legal for AI to do it" - Learning can never be a violation of copyright. A work (digital or physical) can potentially violate copyright.

So there are two potential "work" here:

1. The model itself

2. Images created with the model.

I would argue that (1) can't violate copyright as it's not a derivative work

(2) may or may not violate copyright but if it does, then it does so to exactly the same degree as it would if it wasn't AI generated.

In other words "You're not allowed to plagarize copyrighted works no matter what production method you use".

Having watched some of the neural network descriptions the game developer has posted, I believe it could easily be emergent if the simulation runs though enough generations.

The neural network can be pre-programmed (and the starting settings offer some basic neural pre-wiring), but has enough sensor inputs and behavior outputs that "If pushing a food pellet, swim to the right at an angle" is a possible behavior. This results in a clockwise swim direction that mechanically nudges other pellets towards the center of the circle.

Other inputs like "swim towards creatures of color #0000FF in your vision cone" (assuming the creature is blue) and "swim towards food in your vision cone" could have the second-order effect of "gathering food towards creatures of the same color -- which are presumably of similar species"

Interesting, I gave Stadia it's first try as a result of this post. Tried the Worm Game. It confirms exactly my concerns about cloud gaming in general. The input lag.

The classic "worm" game is timing sensitive, gotta turn before you hit a wall or yourself, but also gotta turn as late as possible to ensure you don't leave empty space.

The input lag was noticeably bad, doing precise turns requires correctly guessing the input lag and clicking the turn command early.

I guess I see why it's being shut down.
Everything makes sense to me until the Dual definitions:

newtype Dual a = Dual {getDual :: a}
instance Semigroup s => Dual s where
(Dual a <> Dual b) = Dual (b <> a)
instance Monoid m => Dual m where
mempty = Dual (mempty)

These are declaring instances of Dual, but they are providing method definitions for Semigroup and Monoid as if they were declaring instances for those types. I plugged this into ghc and I couldn't get this to compile either way. This isn't using an extension or some more obscure language than haskell is it?
I did this as well but my reason is that I don't want AMZ to steal my data. Why should I let some monopolist corp know anything about my reading?

I once read an article (probably on here) where a developer started tokenizing language into phonemes and then matching those against a list of verboten sounds. This prevented people (students?) from getting around literal filters. Basically hashing for English, where words like phat and 1337 could be matched. It always seemed like such an elegant and effective solution to a human vs computer problem. It would make a great library.
You have no idea how atrocious the English is in papers that I see as a reviewer. And depending on journal I don't even get to reject it for that as long as the science is sound.

No. Titles correspond to job descriptions - nature of responsibilities, scope of influence and impact. Presiding over a 300-person project is a different job from presiding over a 5-person project is a different job from completing assigned tasks in that project. All can be done well or badly.

Another counterargument is that these models do not generate anything without a prompt. So in a way it’s like a very smart photoshop: if you, a designer, use tools to create a character that resembles Mickey Mouse - this is on you, not the tool. It’s going to be interesting to hear this being argued in court.

INAL but I think the test is does it, "harm the market for or value of X's images" so the information theory of bits and bytes doesn't really matter. I think stable diffusion, chatGPT, or CoPilot may actually fail this test - it depends on much leeway they get for the perceived public benefit and the 'transformative-ness' of this technology. What would be pretty cool would be that if the courts decided open-source = public benefit = acceptable, proprietary for profit platform = no public benefit = unacceptable without consent.

Based on being on an NYC grand jury where we had to watch a fair amount of NYPD submitted surveillance footage:

- NYPD uses PTZ, and the mount points aren't always fixed. They're also on poles which are connected to a mobile platform that is then deployed onto sidewalks / in parks etc.

- Ability to track across multiple cameras exists today (this is intended to address density of cameras, not how tracking is done). However, there was no clear indication how automated this was. We were simply shown "Suspect on camera 1, and then you see them leave frame, and here they are on camera 2"

- Faces could be seen fairly clearly even at night in a decently lit park setting.

My gut feel was that as the hardware improves, 100% automated tracking of everyone is only a question of when.
> It is not as bad as in Ukraine. I was in Kiev one week before invasion, everybody was like: "Ohh, Russians will not attack, they never do". Those guys later had to improvise Molotov cocktails against tanks because they were ill prepared, never fired a gun.

To be fair though the government of Ukraine had been preparing since the mini invasions of 2014. Probably a situation where you can never prepare enough.
Big Tech vs Big Government are the Church vs State of the digital era - they must be kept separate - and preferably somewhat adversarial - so that powers are divided and we the people have some sort of chance.
Don't think I can find a practical way to be 100% sure of that. I'm happy to be at 95% though.

I'm using Fathom for my personal sites now and Plausible at work.

I did this 1) because of EU privacy rulings and 2) because Google Analytics is deprecating GA3 (which is website focused) for GA4 (which is app focused). The UX for GA4 SUCKS. It is so hard to find basic info like what pages are people most looking at, a realtime view, what are all the domains referring people to me, etc.

So far I like plausible better, it's simple and focused on websites. Whereas fathom seems ready to hook into more complex martech that I have no interest in.

That said, Plausible supports Google Analytics already and Fathom doesn't yet. In contrast, Plausible doesn't support TFA and Fathom does.

Plausible also has alerts on spikes and sends summary emails at your desired frequency whereas Fathom doesn't seem to do either.

So I guess the analytics market is still somehow in early days.

Also, Michael Lynch pointed out to me that if you plan to sell a site, buyers expect access to Google Analytics data specifically. Something to keep in mind.

Also, it's good to have server side analytics since this will uncover at least 100% more legitimate users (on tech sites especially). So I tried out Fastly and Netlify which show basic analytics but don't give you access to access logs. I ended up just hosting on an OVH VM with 7day block-device backups in case it goes sideways.

It's being shut down because very few people used it. I think most people were OK with the input lag.

I'm completely fine subsidizing tourists' use of the system. Every subway ride is one less rideshare ride; less rideshare rides mean more space for buses, bikes, and people walking. Well worth the tax paid!

That farebox revenue needs to cover operational costs for public infrastructure seems just crazy to me. The fire department doesn't need to make a profit on putting out fires. Public parks don't need to make money by charging an admission fee. It's just something we pay for for public good. I'm pretty sure that public transportation fares are something nobody has ever really thought about; the networks used to be run by private companies, and when they were taken over by the government (which put them out of businesses by building highways) nobody ever thought to get rid of the fares. It's certainly time to think about it.

I haven’t watched it yet, but it’s been out for less than a week, so I suspect that rating may change going forward. (Or maybe it really is awful? Feels like brigading to me, though.)
There seems to be a sockpuppet constituency desperately trying to sell "yes" as an answer to this question.

It's hard to see how the endgame of this nonsense is anything but total thought control (couched with semantic distinctions between "thought" as it occurs in your biomass and "thought" as simulated in an electronic device).
I didn't say that was breaking the DRM. I said I think it's silly to have DRM on something that's so easy to copy regardless. That's still true alongside "no DRM is impossible to break"
And their increased weight makes them much harsher on roads than normal cars. They wear down roads faster, and I suppose they also produces more particle pollution than normal car for this reason.

This just shows another reason EVs are unrealistic at least in rural USA. 200 km or 125 miles in cold weather. And that's for a Tesla a top of the line EV. Even if you live in the city most people want ability to travel long distances. I just reviewed consumer reports reviews of EVs. Not at all impressed. Overall ratings were very low for most cars. Charging is proprietary for the most part or slow or just in general a hassle. To get decent reviews you need to spend $50k at minimum. The tax rebate may help to extend the fantasy for a while but even Tesla owners are getting disillusioned. For the most part Tesla has saturated the market for high end EVs and the rest are low quality or suffer technical problems. I mean the vision is enticing but most Americans won't put up with the expense and hassle. And attempts to legislate the hassle won't bode well for politicians or will result in the predictable deadline extensions. And this is not even taking into consideration the extreme burden it will put on the grid which is not at all prepared for hundreds of millions of electric vehicles.

That's only true of NMC batteries, not of LFP ones, which their Model 3 SR now ships with. With LFP batteries, it's better for them to charge them to 100%.

An anecdotal story: I bought some Windows 10 keys a few years ago from a site pcmag "recommended," where they were selling Windows 10 keys for maybe $55 each. I bought two at the time. I kept the keys saved in my email. Fast forward to last November during a minipc build, I planned on using one of those keys. I tried it. It was rejected as a non-genuine key. I thought being written up on pcmag was a recommendation, but it was probably not a vetted source beyond being cheap. I learned my lesson and I will buy through Microsoft or through Microcenter (us brick and mortar store).
This is roughly how it works now. Also, searching matches on its description.
And prohibitively expensive. You can't position CL as an alternative to, say, Node when the only decent IDE for developing in it costs thousands of dollars.
While EVs do use less brakes than ICE, they still should last a lot longer than you give them credit for.

Of course it's depends on how you drive, but if you are not getting 100k miles out of your brakes the problem is not the car but the driver.
I appreciate the feedback. I’m person I talk about pure tones more, mostly because I love how pretty complex spirals are.

Here, I just tried to define them “Pure tones are signals that have the unique property of putting all of the energy at exactly one frequency” and then use sine as an example.

Truly, complex rotations are a much better definition, but it’s somewhat reasonable to expect people to be familiar with sine waves.
> I must admit I _REALLY_ don't get this "good enough" mentality.. Like.. Here's this way to get a more precise representation of the music you bought, and you'll go "nah, that's not for me, I prefer whatever random data I happen to get on the first go".. for what? why ?

The purpose of music is to be perceived. There is no perceptible difference, therefore there is no difference. CD Paranoia/etc are a waste of time, these tools make ripping a CD take several times as long for no tangible benefit.
You can attribute your success to that, but that doesn't mean anyone gets ownership over a thing.

I think its important to clarify a few things.
The article is noting that they blocked the downloading of books that use "Kindle Unlimited" which is a subscription, that runs $10 a month, for unlimited of select Kindle titles. Think of Kindle Unlimited as the book equivalent to Spotify Premium.

You can still download and un-DRM books that you buy individually from Amazon directly. This is an important distinction. Because you "own" the book you buy directly. You don't own titles through Kindle Unlimited, you are borrowing them.

The restriction from allowing the downloaded books on this service actually makes a lot more sense when you understand the service. This is no different than we see from any other service where you pay a monthly fee for access to content while maintaining an active subscription. For example you can download songs with Spotify, but they automatically expire after 30 days unless they "phone home" to confirm you still have a subscription. Netflix, HBO, Hulu, etc all let you download movies now, but they expire unless you maintain a subscription.

You don't own any of this content, it is just lent to you for the duration of an active subscription. Kindle Unlimited is no different, but for books.

The important part is that nothing has changed for books purchased directly from Amazon individually. This change is only for the Kindle Unlimited service.

The kit was being subsidised. At several points, they were essentially giving away starter kits of controllers and chromecast ultras.

I guess they figured it was concerning enough that people were going to pick them up just for a free Chromecast Ultra without also giving them a free controller for Steam too.
I played 200 hours of endgame destiny 2 on stadia during the pandemic so it's definitely not inherent to the platform.
I’ve always wondered where that lag comes from, since I experience it even when doing remote play on my LAN.
