A lot of air moving down as one large mass. One happened a few km from here two years ago, just over a canal that carries a lot of shipping from Utrecht to Amsterdam. Along the side of that canal there are long rows of pretty sturdy trees. Over about two hundred meters they had all snapped like matchsticks, a few meters above the ground. The theory on why this happened is that the air has to go somewhere when it reaches the bottom, converting a large mass of air moving downwards into a large mass of air moving sideways and that happened to coincide with the treeline base.

Here are some pictures of that event:

The way those trunks are splintered is interesting, normally a tree under wind pressure will topple as a whole, so this must have happened extremely quickly for the tree base not to have moved but the top to be snapped off.
Sounds interesting. Can you make a tutorial video on YouTube?
> I've seen some people elsewhere imply that it could have something to do with keeping attention off the happenings in Ohio...

Sure. It's all a big conspiracy.

It's also designed to keep attention off the floods in New Zealand, the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, the war in Ukraine, and most especially it is designed as a distraction from Blake Lively giving birth to her fourth child.

The name and gender of the new baby have not been revealed. It's a total cover-up.

They even proclaimed a lot of territory they don’t hold as their own, including the entire Donetsk oblast, so it’s “defending” by trying to grab and hold more land.
Many (most?) people who try it (lay and expert alike) agree there is something qualitatively different going on. You could say it responds in a way that may be coherent enough to be useful in certain contexts. I am not aware of previous instances where this was the case to the same extent, although I would be happy to be proven wrong!

I think it's fair to be skeptical of the economic utility in the near term, but cautiously optimistic about the potential in defining and expanding on what exactly it is that causes people to perceive it in this way.
I'm with you - I don't love teams, but it's certainly no worse than Skype. We use it constantly for meetings, chat and calls in our team of ~20, and across the broader organisation. There were some teething problems when it was first rolled out, but I think that was mostly our infra guys getting things configured correctly.

Our dev team uses Slack for chat, but that's only because we can't connected to the corporate Teams from our dev environment.
Well I guess it depends on your definition of elementary.
Yeah that’s fair, the same can be said about really strong people who only rely on strength. They seem really good initially but 5 years later they are still just trying their Americanas from inside someone’s closed guard.

I have an MX Anywhere 2S, and it has a middle click (but not middle wheel click), but it is weird.

Depressing the wheel switches between smooth and ratcheting.

Beneath the wheel is a small button that is middle click. But it feels unnatural compared to the MX Master 2S I use with my desktop.
The degree to which people underestimate children is always interesting to me, especially on a forum such as this one where your average teenager would probably run circles around such stuff and be more than happy to jailbreak their buddies phones as well.
Fair point about diet contributing more to obesity than exercise. And I am 100% on board with making school lunches healtier, and teaching kids about the importance of nutrition.

But exercise is also important for managing weight [1], and preventing/managing chronic disease [2]. And only about a quarter of adults in the US meet the HHS' activity guidelines [3].

Not sloppy but intentionally misleading because it’s a lot more likely to get people to click.

Copyright is called out in the constitution. It's not a trivial thing to "just abolish," at least in the US.
Summer vacation was awesome though.

It's a weird assertion. Consider the hypothetical but very plausible case of an artist algorithmically generating collages of images posted around the Web. Fair use and attribution issues aside, I would be pretty surprised to hear that this was not a protectable work, or that there was a certain threshold of algorithm the complexity above which the work became unpredictable. That's more or less what today's AI art is, using a huge neural network in the core of the algorithm.

Of course, the case in the article is even weirder than the headline: someone is trying to claim that the algorithm, which is not a person or legally-recognized organization by pretty much any sensible definition, is the author of a particular work of art. This is of course silly, and of course the US copyright office should tell the judge that it is silly. But the headline as written implies something else entirely, the more subtle conversation above.
It really does have middle click - but yes, not on the wheel.

People just developed new ways to kill themselves.

>"Drug overdose deaths have risen fivefold over the past 2 decades. In 2021, 106,699 deaths occurred, resulting in an age-adjusted rate of 32.4 per 100,000 standard population. From 2020 through 2021, the rate for males increased from 39.5 to 45.1, and the rate for females increased from 17.1 to 19.6. In both 2020 and 2021, adults aged 35–44 had the highest rate among people aged 15 and over. Between 2020 and 2021, the largest percentage increase in rates occurred among those aged 65 and over (28%). In both 2020 and 2021, rates were highest for non-Hispanic AIAN people; however, the greatest percentage increase in rates from 2020 to 2021 occurred for non-Hispanic NHOPI people.

The rates of drug overdose deaths involving different types of opioids and stimulants also increased from 2020 to 2021. Increases in rates occurred for drug overdose deaths involving psychostimulants with abuse potential (from 7.5 to 10.0), synthetic opioids other than methadone (17.8 to 21.8), and cocaine (6.0 to 7.3). Rates were similar for drug overdose deaths involving natural and semisynthetic opioids, as well as deaths involving methadone. Of the drugs examined, only drug overdose deaths involving heroin had a lower rate in 2021 than in 2020 (2.8 and 4.1, respectively).
Better without AI
I think the biggest problem with Teams is the leadership's strategy.

They seem to be focusing on adding as many glossy features as quickly as possible. The quality, performance and consistency doesn't seem to be a point of consideration at all. Yet for a user who spends a lot of time in it each day, I really don't care about animated waves on top of my video, or this together mode. I just want it to work and not take ages to open, show stale status info until I click on a user, have choppy video, running my mac's fans on full blast, and be so cluttery that it's almost impossible to find back information we shared in chats in the past. And the worst thing for me: the information density is so low. These big bubbles around everything seem to care more about looking pretty than to actually show information and cause way too much scrolling. Slack does this so much better.

The Teams guys can learn so much from their VS Code colleagues. It's really weird how one company can produce one of the worst infamous electron apps and also the gold standard best one at the same time.

Ps and please, tell me what's going wrong. "Something went wrong" is ridiculous. And let me log into multiple tenants at the same time without switching.
Here's simple solution: create a product and sell it for money. Seriously. Stop giving stuff away for free.

EDIT: let me elaborate.

Writing open source is not a business strategy. At best, it's a gimmick, or outsourcing infrastructure maintenance to the public.

What you should do is the following:

1) Project authority.

This is easy. You are the creator and maintainer of a critical piece of infrastructure. You are THE EXPERT!

2) Project non-neediness

None of this "guys I'm struggling here". People should come to you because you have value to provide, not because they pity you.

3) Value proposition

Create a compelling value proposition where you get money in exchange for something.

That something could be a product, a subscription, a consultation service, or something else. The possibilities are endless.

You are a smart person. If you dedicate a week or two you can figure this out.

I don't know many people who are successfully making money from open source. I only know of Zig. Here's what Andrew Kelly did:

- He projects authority. You can watch him programming live. He has many live streams and talks.

- He does not project neediness. He talks frankly about his finances but none of this "omg you guys are so thankless for all my work". It's more like: hey guys, I'm working on this, if you are interested in this and would like it to continue, consider donating.

- He did the drudge work of setting up a non-profit foundation to receive the donations

- He got help from people: he doesn't run everything, he doesn't code everything. There are several people working in the Zig Foundation.

Now, I don't think you can do this with core-js. It's already pretty mature and any donation you get is basically going to come out of pity. You don't want to be in this situation.

That's why I think it's better for you to create a consultancy and provide some kind of service where people are compelled to pay you money because you are just so valuable.

My man, there are people out there making over $10k/mo from things like "copywriting" a few emails a month for a few high class clients.

You can do better.
"About three" - mathematicians reconsidering the real line with this statement.
I notice an interesting pattern on HN. When the art/music is being discussed, there is a large fraction of people in the comments who are altogether against copyright. But when say github copilot is being discussed, the majority is against copilot and is for protection of code authors. I wonder if people really thought about whether their stances on both those topics are consistent or not.
The issue is deeper than NTFS. Working on either side of the divide in WSL is plenty fast. Trying to move data across the divide is not.
Again they aren't compelling anyone to rent anything. That would take the form of "rent your property or forfeit it" or "rent your property or go to jail". No matter how bad you think taxes are, surely you think this vacancy tax (which is something like $200-$400/mo lol) is way better and materially different than losing the property altogether or imprisonment.
Ok that's fair. But from my perspective as an outsider, the parent comment gave me a lot more info than yours did.

I don't see why you're focused on the comparison to Java's also-crappy-and-fragmented ecosystem.

When your parent comment said "it isn't as good as rust, etc.", that gave me a comparison point, because I'm familiar with how those other ones work. When you said "wat" to that, that told me nothing. Are you also familiar with those other ecosystems and find the Clojure one better? Or similar or equivalent? I have no clue whatsoever what you think.

You're right, the parent's comment on spec (which I have no idea what that is) and your rebuttal are equally bereft of content.

What is the actual ruling here? Is it that the work can't be protected by copyright at all "because no human was involved in its creation" or just that copyright can't be assigned to the model itself? The headline implies it's the former, then the article itself implies it's the latter, and then you get this segment that implies the former presented as making a case for the latter:

> The Copyright Office says that it “turns on a single question: Did the Office act reasonably and consistently with the law when it refused to extend copyright protection to a visual work the plaintiff represented was created without any human involvement? The answer is yes.”

This article is really poorly written. I guess they wanted the flashy headline?
An aggregator. HN’s RSS already includes a comment link in <comments> element, but many aggregators don’t display this.
Party affiliation isn’t a good proxy for “liberal” versus “conservative” in this context. A lot of women who vote democrat are fairly socially conservative but vote democrat for other reasons. Only 58% of democrats, for example, say that “changing gender roles” has made it “easier” for “women to lead satisfying lives.” https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2017/10/18/wide-pa...

If you look at another proxy for privilege, education, the trend runs in the opposite direction. Only 31% of women with only a high school education say feminism has helped them, versus 55% of those with a college education: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/07/07/a-centu...

The alternative read of the data, which I suspect is more accurate, is that increased rights and autonomy disproportionately benefits high status women (e.g. pursuing interesting careers, etc). Lower status women, meanwhile, disproportionately suffer the burdens (decreased pressure for men to make commitments and support families).

D3D12 is nothing like mantle. Not even close. D3D12 is heavily derived from D3D11. D3D12's own documentation is even specified as 'behaves like D3D11 except for these bits'.

If anything, Vulkan is a clone of Mantle because Vulkan is Mantle. It was donated to the Khronos Group by AMD and served as the foundation for Vulkan. If you have both API headers for Vulkan and Mantle side by side it's shocking how similar they are. Vulkan 1.0 is largely just Mantle with more API ceremony for tile-based mobile GPUs and NVidia's (at the time) far more restrictive binding model.

Couldn't congress set the "limited Times" mentioned in the constitution to an absurdly short value by merely passing a law if it wanted to, and wouldn't that have the same effect as abolishing copyright?
How many orders of magnitude slower is this?
Agree. I never paid attention to it while building the business, but then later saw how much weight potential investors gave to predictability and how much customers wanted it too. Even my electric company gives me the option to pay a fixed monthly amount that grows by x% per month versus having to budget for variability.

The NLSY is the classic example of this. It was a multi-decade study over thousands of people which looked at a variety of things as the kids aged into adults and through their lives.

According to the page, you can still buy the Hardware, it's made by a "partner" and it's self funding

"Which brings us to the present day. We will still be shipping all orders that are made through the Mycroft website, because these sales directly cover the costs of producing and shipping the products. However we do not have the funds to continue fulfilling rewards from this crowdfunding campaign, or to even continue meaningful operations."[1]

> In such a case, the human would be indeed granted copyright for the work, provided they took due credit for it.

This goes against this news[1], where someone created an entire comic book using Midjourney (an IA engine). The (human) author initially received copyright for the work from the US copyright office, but then the decision got reversed when the office claimed it had "errantly missed that Midjourney had created the art for the comic".

If being an ER doctor is such a cushy deal for more money, doctors who would otherwise choose internal medicine would just choose that. There is plenty of variation in medical specialties, but, at least for people who are going to medical school today, I'm sure they are well informed what is in demand and what isn't. At least in this case, I don't see non-market forces at work (whereas medicine has plenty of those in other places).
