This wouldn't prevent all cases, for sure. Especially cases where there's some merit to the claim. However, for cases where it's 90:10 or 99:1, it'll stop those cases. In those obvious cases it wouldn't surprise me to see more law firms lining up to take the case on a contingency basis. It's easy money and the person that'll pay them is the rich litigant.

The real problem, IMO, is this will disincentivize meritorious lawsuits from poorer people against the wealthy. Perhaps that could be fixed by narrowing the scope of "loser pays" to cases like defamation and libel.
IANAL but I don’t think your rips would be legal if you gave the discs to a second hand store or any other person.

Circumvention clause of the DMCA probably makes DVD rips illegal in the US, even if you keep your original copy and don’t otherwise violate copyright law.
I often think about Die Hard With a Vengeance. The city of New York is a huge part of the movie's texture. The movie actively engages with all of the people on the street and in the cars, and who are watching from their office windows. Characters who could have very easily been left out of the movie, but their inclusion make it so much richer. You see and feel their days get ruined because of the carnage. It actually feels like New York City.

There are so many different side characters who only have two lines, but each of them were cast with care and feel like real people who are living through their day and intersecting with John McLane. I love this movie for it.

On the other hand, I just watched Michael Bay's Ambulance, which is a prolonged police chase through downtown Los Angeles and the only people who seem to be on the street are criminals and dozens of police cars. At no point are we in touch with anyone who isn't directly contributing to the story. The reality is that downtown LA is packed full of traffic and the story would have taken a very different (and interesting) angle if it reckoned with the fact that getting through the traffic is it's own game.

Die Hard With a Vengeance, however, acknowledges this reality and comes up with some very creative scenarios for our protagonists to overcome, and it makes for a far more compelling movie as a result. It feels far more realistic, even in a movie as heightened as this.
This was my exact thoughts on the matter. I think it could be a great boon to story generators.
Fun idea but impersonating someone else, especially your customer, sounds like a way to land in hot water. Also LLMs are not exactly cheap.
> In addition, they protect individuals’ privacy and the required equipment can be bought at a reasonable price.

To argue that this protects people's privacy (versus cameras in public spaces) is certainly a very odd take.

I'd be more curious to know what are legitimate use cases of this and who funded the research.

My company is currently transitioning from a 20+ year old Perforce depot to a git workflow. We're certainly having issues like you describe, where people don't know (and don't care to learn) the mechanics of git. And I agree, git is the kind of tool where once you understand the primitives, you can quickly start making lateral leaps to solve problems.

But I do think that there's room for a better mechanism for orchestrating "macros" or building other workflows on top of git. I know a lot of developers who'd love the ability to pretend they're using p4.

Update: I believe I was fooling myself. I was running the new code, then the old code, and the new code was consistently beating the old code. But, when I reversed the order, and ran the old code first, then the new code, the old code beat the new code! Then I started monitoring CPU temperatures during the tests. Turns out the code to run first was starting with cooler CPUs and getting a little head start on the work with a longer time before thermal throttling kicked in. If I wait for things to cool down between runs, then the old code (no huge pages) consistently beats the new code (huge pages) but only by a very small amount. Benchmarking is hard.
In a sense the fundamental takeaway is: not only history, but also prehistory has been "written" by the subsequent "winners" (interpreting scarce evidence to fit a desired narrative).

It seems very plausible yet it would be really satisfactory if we could piece a more complete picture of these long gone eras
How is creating the model in my brain not illegal (as in my thoughts are not illegal) yet if it’s in silicon it would be illegal? Please give a well reasoned answer. This is not a strawman no matter how many times you insist on using that label.

Secondly you seem to be conflating the “tool itself” to “what the tool can do” to be strongly equivalent. I.e if the tool has the capability to violate laws, then the existence and distribution of the tool itself also violates said law. (Not so)
New MIT Research Indicates That Automation Is Responsible for Income Inequality
Just look around you, do you see any critical mass on both the vendor or consumer side that does something the way you describe it?

Every time someone comes up with some confident theory on markets or how things should be, or how bad the things are as they currently are, they forget that the reality is 'the market' (whatever their definition happens to be at that time) did not, in fact, change due to either supply or demand.

So when you were to say "the market demands offline devices, and the big companies are failing because they don't deliver that", you're either talking about a theoretical market, or about a different market, but not about the mass consumer electronics market. Because the big companies aren't failing, and regardless of the demand, no significant portion seems to be supplied.
I spend so much time thinking about this as an entrepreneur and whenever I talk use cases people seem to not care.
There tends to be a self-fulfilling aspect of this. Some good people might not leave just because of a 10% pay cut -- but others would, and the ones who plan to stay will suffer the consequences of that happening.

It's demoralizing, it creates an impression that the company is a sinking ship, the workload for the people who stay will increase to cover for the people who left, and the overall quality of coworkers moves in a bad direction. Those are all pretty good non-money reasons to want to leave.

Tech workers have options, even in today's job market. If you work at the only auto parts plant in your region and pay cuts might be necessary to save the company, the logic is different.

>imagine that every spam mail receives a masterfully crafted response showing utter fascination and interest in SEO

That would necessitate reliably detecting the emails as spam in the first place though. False positives in particular could be devastating. Imagine a chat bot coming up or going along with business proposals in your name for example.
Some of these just seem completely pointless lol
It's a fair take, but I wouldn't be as worried because there are a lot more guards and protections for American companies, and America is broadly and ally of Europe.

I wouldn't worry if there was a European company with a button that made things more popular, as an American. I would probably worry about EU law regulating what is allowed to be said or not though.
I concur on this for the most part because I would say that my custom postfix + spamassassin + opendkim setup, on my self run MX, correctly classifies 75%+ of the spam or outright rejects it for SMTP transfer just based on:

a) invalid rdns of other mx

b) invalid spf

c) invalid DKIM / no DKIM signature

d) failed RBL list check - I subscribe to and feed it a few different common sense SMTP RBLs

Rejecting as spam things in the above category before it even looks at the content.

Adding a high score for invalid rdns, spf or dkim before something generally similar to spamassassin or a more advanced message subject line/body analyzing system begins classifying things help.

And then additional score is added of course for text spam content in message subject line and body.
A "masterfully crafted" response to a nigerian prince spammer would probably sound a lot like a person who can barely write, possibly with what sounds like the beginning of dementia setting in.
I use this daily even as I myself am making my own Pomodoro style app, it's a case of me procrastinating shipping my product so I tearfully use someone else's instead in the meantime (there's a good blog post about this by Kitze, with HN discussion [0]). My product [1] basically solves a lot of the issues I have with regular pomodoro timers, such as that the work and break times are rigid between tasks and you can't add or subtract time; that you can't export the times as a PDF or CSV to send to clients if you're freelancing and billing by the hour; that you can't organize tasks in a calendar-like format, et cetera.

But until I build that, I'll have to continue using Pomofocus. It has a great free plan, I wonder how much money the founder makes from a B2C product.

Also, something I learned recently was that Pomodoro is trademarked, which is why you see most timers riffing on the name otherwise calling it something else.

This approach also has limitations. Namely, your ability to retrieve information is limited by your ability to search for snippets using embeddings.

This could be solved with using different search methodologies, using multiple gpt requests to summarize available info or using a structured knowledge framework to prepare prompts (instead of just raw text).

Any other ideas that I'm missing?
I looked on the Home Depot website and the cheapest (R13) mineral/rock wool insulation is about $47 for the standard size, which seems to be 15x47in. (I suppose 15in is close to the mentioned 27cm.) The calculator there suggests I can get about 30ft by 10ft for $650. I suppose that could insulate a single small room, but an entire building's roof? And yea this is w/o any labor and tool cost.

It's kinda light on evidence for some things, which isn't great when we're talking about someone they describe as an "activist" challenging mainstream history. For example, it just drops assertions like "The authors also show that the earliest cities in Ukraine and Mesopotamia of the 4th millennium BCE were egalitarian and organised without the presence of kings, temples or royal palaces."

But why are we to believe these societies were "egalitarian"? I mean, the usual understanding of that means a lot more than just living somewhere without a king or a temple. I can imagine a lot of ways for a city without any of these as such to be far less than what most people think of as "egalitarian" and they really need to flesh this idea out a lot more by going over why we should think that and to what degree, because there's a big gap between the modern understanding of the word "egalitarian" and the evidence provided.

Maybe the book does better, if so I'd like to hear that part, but the article is a bit scant here, which is bad when the only thing it is clear on is that this was written by an activist with political motivations.

https://danshuihistory.blogspot.com/2011/08/illegal-migratio...

The supposed population control did not last 200 years to begin with, contrary to the outlandish claims seen in this thread. Although the article mentiones "In 1759, for example, the gov't caught 25 smuggling operations in action resulting in the arrest of 990+ illegals." so it was enforced to some extent but ultimately immigration kept happening due to the natural demand.
As this article points out, most the best environments for humans in the deep past would have been along seashores. These seashores are now about 100 metres below current sea level, so much of the information we need to characterize how those people's lived is beyond reach or accessible only at great cost and effort.

For me the biggest mystery is how and when did language progress because this is what allowed a group of humans to effectively operate as a pseudo single organism. The ability throw stones accurately and with force would also have been critical in defense. Probably even before (pre)humans learned to make sophisticated stone tools.
A few notes on the timeline.

The IETF has a two-level standards system consisting of "Proposed Standard" and "Internet Standard". IPv6 was first published as "Proposed Standard" in 1998 and finally transitioned to Internet Standard in 2017. Although officially Proposed Standards are supposed to be treated as "immature specifications", as a practical matter, people routinely deploy on them. Whether an RFC is advanced to Internet Standard is less a question of whether it is mature than whether the editors and/or WG bother to advance it. Here are a number of examples of widely deployed protocols that never advanced beyond Proposed (1) all versions of TLS (2) HTTP/2 (3) SIP (4) QUIC.

I think choosing 2012 as your start date is pretty generous. Proponents of IPv6 were telling people to start deploying long before that. In fact, the IETF sunsetv4 WG, dedicated to sunsetting IPv4, was formed in 2012 several months before World IPv6 launch day. Arguably, World IPv6 Launch Day was a reaction to the failure of v6 to get large-scale organic deployment 12ish years in.
Ahem, let's avoid the over-generalisation thanks!

I learned git at 45yo after many years using ClearCase (even licensed as CC admin) and .. I really liked learning git, I do admit that it took me two full days of self study to start groking git but I wouldn't call it 'struggling'.

Obviously it depends a lot of your background.. git is the 5th version controls I've used , while it is far from being perfect (submodules.. :-( ), it's my favourite.
Thanks. I also love to extend the project to support ALL kinds of SQL.

Mindfulness in this study:

> Participants were informed they should sit down in a chair or, if they preferred, to lie down, and then to set a timer for 5 min. Then they were told to close their eyes and to start breathing while focusing their mental attention on their forehead region between their two eyes. They were told that if their focus drifted from that location to re-recenter their attention by focusing back first on their breath and then on the forehead region between their eyes. They were told that as thoughts arise, to recognize that as normal, refocus their attention back to their forehead region and to continue the practice until time has elapsed.

Is this a legit expression of mindfulness meditation? It lacks any sort of breath modification.
IMO, the design difference between Ruby and Python sites have a lot to do with the people involved. David Heinemeier Hansson's early design and marketing sensibilities and effort on Rails initially IMO had a lot of influence on the entire Rails ecosystem. I don't know if he's still involved in designing the RoR site or not, but it still looks and feels like his work. For all of Guido van Rossum's great ideas and skills, I don't think he ever cared about design and marketing to that same extent as DHH did.

Realistically though what information can you glean from a hosts IPv6 address that wouldn't already be part of WHOIS? With IPv4 you already know there are only (3) rfc1918 reserved ranges. Anyone can use them as they see fit so seeing a 10/8 address in a email header doesn't automatically mean the company is huge its just what they picked. Myself, i've just never really bought into the whole "dns naming" or discovering private address ranges giving anything away. With existing NAT device tracking moved onto more unique features such as browser, screen size, etc. such that IP address tracking is probably not as accurate.
