Blockchain will literally never be used for this. There are such trivial fundamental issues. Imagine for example, the rights owner has their computer hacked or stolen and their NFTs are stolen. Legally, they are still the rights owner as they never agreed to transfer them. So now you are left to either ignore the blockchain record or to do the insane option of treating a thief as the rights owner.

There are seemingly no advantages to using NFTs for copyright.
This looks quite nice. I run a server which is already RHEL+podman+generated systemd units, but this both simpler and more declarative/idempotent than my current setup. Anything that helps convince people that containers running on a single server can be simple, and doesn't require an entire k8s stack.
People need to remember the Hollywood sign was for a housing development at the edge of town in Los Angeles. That's how long it's been, and we've added almost no density, and eternal sprawl.
It’s more complicated though. You may receive the Ack, but it gives no information about how your message was received by the recipient.

When talking to someone in person, if you say something, before they give a formal ack, their body language already tells you a lot about how they perceived the message.

If the reception was unfavorable, you have an opportunity to immediately add more to clarify if it was perceived incorrectly.

With a formal communication system such as an API, the API itself describes what messages it wants to receive and what the meaning of those messages are. But in human communication you’re not limiting yourself to messages the recipient has completely described. You’re creating new messages. New messages which the sender expects to be received ina certain way but there’s no guarantee it will be because we don’t know if the recipient is setup to handle it as you expect.
How is that an issue? If you want to live on the bleeding edge, you can run experimental or unstable or whatever. Or just pull the package you want. The poster asked how to "encourage" the distros to ship the package they wanted, and now they know.

I also now generally prefer macOS, but I find it worth the $100/year to license Parallels for M1 Macs. It is set up for trivial installs of Ubuntu and a few other Linux distros that support the ARM-64 architecture.

I had two older Mac laptops that stopped functioning with the latest macOS update for encrypted iCloud files (now just about everything is encrypted in motion and at rest). I put Ubuntu on both, a MacBook and a very old (tiny model) MacBook Air that is many years old.
On the weekend I set up a arm version of Fedora in a vm (in the free version of VMware)on my M1 Air, it worked quite well.

That seems like a weird assertion. I really wouldn’t downplay US worldwide cultural domination, whether you like that or not.

Especially since you are setting a very low bar here: merely having heard of Hollywood.

I think most people are scrambling to find a stable source of income. Unless they have a quarter million dollars in cash, or a paid off house, the cost of living in major metro areas means they don't have the time and capital to start a startup with any reasonable chance of becoming profitable or raising money before they go bankrupt.

I can imagine the news will say "aha, see, there weren't really that many who were capable of being entrepreneurs who were working at FAANG", but really it's just the same old lack of access to capital, and if they did have capital many of them certainly would and could.

> Costco doesn't have a wide selection because the idea is Costco only sells good stuff.

This is where you get deeper into Wall-E territory. A lot of their "good stuff" is junk food. And a lot of people eat more of it when it's lying around their houses. And really it's only "good stuff" because it's brand name. There are better tasting chocolate bars with less packaging than Hershey's Nuggets.

I've seen rampant pre-ChatGPT cheating at my university where it's popular for business undergrads to take computer science as a second major to get a leg up for Product Manager roles.

These people don't intend to ever write a single line of code after university. They aim to be just familiar enough with software development to be able to nod along and throw in a few buzzwords in interviews.

Big money attracts people who just want the money.
I have observed it to be more luck based, family connections, and so on. For example, founders whose spouses are executives at FAANG, founders whose parents are industry executives, people who are children of multi-millionaires, and so on.
The problem with this is that agile when done well is actually the best way to build software. Just because people misuse it (the name OR the method) doesn't actually make it bad.

And whatever you try to replace it with, you can expect middle management to do that wrong as well.
I'm glad they dropped the "land" part. "Hollywoodland" doesn't have the same ring that Hollywood has.
This is simply a question of nail and hammer or used power tools, does it matter?

My opinion is, it doesn't matter how/what tools student used to write the program, what matters are two things
1) do they understand the program they have written
2) have they done a good job

I immediately thought of Point Reyes when I started reading this article — it's such a cool, extreme ecosystem, and then you wonder, "what is that SMELL?" and you turn your head, and there are the cattle herds and tons of cow shit.

I'm from the Midwest, grew up on a farm, and I wish California would get out of the livestock business. I've driven by all sorts of CAFOs, but Point Reyes and Harris Ranch take disgusting to a new level. The Midwest has significant water quality issues stemming from big ag that need to be solved, for sure, but California's ecosystems are varied and amazing, and they're being ruined by types of agriculture that's not well-suited to the land.

…seriously?

So I lived abroad for multiple years in Thailand. Learned the language, had conversations with people who had never met a foreigner, traveled to numerous surrounding countries. I’ve been to Europe multiple times and stayed with local friends of mine and met their friends. All this not to mention the number of people from around the world I’ve met at hostels and through activities like scuba diving.

People are fucking obsessed with Hollywood. For some people it’s a singular cultural reference point they ascribe to the entire country. When my Thai students were looking into studying abroad, their first questions about a location were about whether it was within traveling distance of NYC or Hollywood. I’ve seen people meet an American who has never even been to California and then jokingly refer to them as “Mr. Hollywood over here!” (And yes, I know that they know all of America isn’t literally Hollywood).

Like, I can understand not liking the amount of American media hegemony that goes on in global culture, that totally makes sense. But it’s definitely a thing.
Ask HN: Morning “standup”, minus the bad parts, for morning motivation?
Curious if anyone has had similar thoughts, or would be interested in my proposed scheme:

Cause: I’d like to get up earlier. I’m a young freelancer. I can do it. It’s just _hard_ when I can lay in bed and no one will be disappointed in me, since my first meeting is probably 1pm. This leads to wasted billable hours hitting the snooze button, and general quality-of-life hits.

What I’d really like is a small group of tech people who expect eachother to show up at a meeting-like thing, fairly early in the morning, at the same time every day. Not really to talk about work, just… whatever.

Call it networking, but early in the morning. And hard-capped at 5-10min, max. No exceptions, this is a way to start the day consistently, not a social group.

Curious if anyone’s tried something like this with people from outside your company.

I happen to know someone in the music industry. Not huge, but you might have seen them on MTV and you've probably heard their hits.

They say modern songs get written by a huge group of songwriters in hotels. Individual words and phrases will earn credits. They go through the list of everything floating in the songwriters' heads and whittle it down on a huge whiteboard and anything put up there and put into the song gets credited. I think the phrase they used to describe it was "Shit Smoothie Song Writing."

The person I know hates this and doesn't work with these people but they know the industry, etc.
I also had a moment of sudden clarity upon rereading this comment. The comma was supposed to go after 'way.'
As someone who has played in several original but not monetarily motivated pop bands, I have to somewhat disagree. If I showed up to a folk festival I'd probably be booed off the stage.

I think the more salient difference is that folk music is accessible to produce (simple, common instrumentation). Pop music is accessible to consume (catchy melodies, danceable beats). One could say these traits co-evolved with the contexts the genres serve (cultural tradition vs. commercialization).

"Folk" I think also carries the connotation of traditional instrumentation and musical style, whereas pop is allowed to evolve. I'm not sure whether there's an umbrella term for music in modern musical style with accessible modern instrumentation.

> “The biggest challenge many people don’t realize is that even nature has no solution for the amount of energy we use,” said University of Chicago chemist Wenbin Lin. Not even photosynthesis is that good, he said: “We will have to do better than nature, and that’s scary.”

It's true we haven't found an artificial method of photosynthesis that creates a fuel we can burn that is more efficient than nature, but do we want to?

It's agile forever and ever man. We are totally path dependent on this. It seems impossible to have any other idea of what we might do that might take off.

Agile is ironically one of the best indicators of fixedness on the planet. It was a simple idea that has taken root, & will never ever ever be removed.

Maybe I’m missing the point - all these issues are because of various governments’ policies. how could startups possibly address immigration policy problems? I can’t think of any way a startup could e.g. help someone waiting months for a visa appointment.
dajtxx claimed 'extreme' gatekeeping while describing some employers having either a degree requirement or higher standards for employees without degrees. In the US, to the extent that this is 'extreme' it's in the 'less gatekeeping' direction.

(I agree that there's some gatekeeping, and I'd rather see the industry pay less attention to degrees.)
I guess there’s a difference between a mathematical proof and practical, real life truth. Multiple studies have looked for transmission across tens of thousands of unprotected penetrative sex acts. There’s also a solid theoretical backing to the concept - it lines up with how we think HIV transmission works.

So it’s a bit like saying maybe there’s Bigfoot out there. Sure, maybe, but we have a pretty good reason to think there isn’t. For practical purposes no one should assume big foot is out there.
Costco has everything from raw foods to processed foods. You want to cook and eat healthy? They have it. You just want to microwave something and be done with it? They have it.

If you get junk food from Costco, that's because you bought junk food.
"Workers describe a peak production season marred by labor protests" sounds like the workers have some reason to protest, regardless of their social status. Just saying that it's not as bad as some other job doesn't negate their protests.

>No, that's exactly not how LLMs work. They are extremely good at predicting what sentences resemble the sentences in their training data and creating those. That's all.

It's a little hard to take this argument entirely at face value when you can ask it to produce things that aren't in its training data to begin with, but are synthesized from things that are in the training data. I remember being pretty impressed with reading the one where someone asked it to write a parable in the style of the King James bible about someone putting peanut butter toast in a VCR and it did a bang up job. I've asked it to explain all sorts of concepts to me through specific types of analogies/metaphors and it does a really good job at it.

I think the semantics around whether it itself possesses or is displaying "intelligence" isn't the point. I treat it kind of like an emulator. It's able to emulate certain narrow slice of intelligent behavior. If a gameboy emulator still lets me play the game I want to play, then what does it matter that it's not a real gameboy?
It seems to me that advertising is one of the main reasons people spend so much money on totally useless crap. What would be the impact on GDP is advertising didn't exist?

> They aren't pedantic details. They're just how it is. They knew the beat from the comics: that Thanos kills half the universe with a snap of his fingers. They wanted to hit that beat to mirror the comics. But it's poorly thought out. It is bad writing. Because it ignores just so much. From the killing of half the resources to the fact that we double in population a lot faster than the writers realized. Which is funny considering the writers themselves have lived through a doubling of the population.

It's pedantic because it's not the point. The in-universe logic was that the heros didn't even consider Thanos's argument. It was automatically wrong and the audiences go along with it.

>The words "clear detriment" are themselves very weaselly. What is a "clear detriment"? Is Down Syndrome a clear detriment? How so? Society can support people with Down Syndrome. They can have a decent quality of life. Are they suffering?

No but support services to aid them are. Down syndrome would be a candidate for elimination if you truly were unbiased. Completely curing down syndrome from society as we know it has implications for all of society and generations that is by far more beneficial then the sacrifice that would otherwise be used to get there. This is the unbiased conclusion. And yes, what I am saying here is that the logical conclusion involves slaughter.

But of course I wouldn't do this. I'm incapable of this because it's too morally abhorrent. But I am unbiased. Meaning I am aware of the logical conclusion. Other people who are biased cannot separate the logic from the morality. They have to twist the logic to make sense with the morality. Which is what you're doing here.

>Some proponents of eugenics thought being Jewish or black were a "clear detriment". So before you go any further, you're going to have to really lock down what you mean by "clear detriment".

They were wrong. But according to the best of their knowledge at the time they acted logically. Which is my point here.

You're coming to conclusions based off of emotions and biases such as disgust. You're incapable of talking logically about eugenics without bias, you have to cast it off as a sort of horror; which it is, but then again the topic here is bias and you are unable to separate out the bias.
> I have a lot of coworkers who aren't eager to assist

Hard to stay engaged when you aren't being recognized and feel like you're on your own.

It's not in the cards that you will be made manager to change things or have your pay doubled to compensate for the environment you're currently in, so I suggest you do look for a different place. The interesting company isn't worth it if your mental health suffers. That recognition thing I mentioned? The way toxic environments work, as soon as you burn out enough that you can't do your job anymore, they just chuck you out the door and replace you with someone else. They don't care about you. You need to care about yourself.

Not sure of the co-operatives in software. I am from state of Kerala, India. We have a number of very successful and long running co-operatives.

1. Milma - Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing federation. Virtually every household uses and trusts milma. It has been around for 53 years.

2. Indian Coffee House - It is a worker co-operative restaurant chain. Very successful and is around since 1958.

3. ULCCS - India's oldest worker co-operative. Operating from 1925, mainly in construction sector. It also has an IT wing.

Lol Microsoft bait and switch.

But most companies don't use the free version, just the one that comes with M365.
I feel this one. Short story. I'm primarily a designer that 10 years ago decided out of boredom to use Vim. Next thing I knew I was using fish as my prompt and learning a lot more about my command line.

2 years ago I made the switch to Linux, mostly because I was inspired by r/unixporn. I took a long weekend to install a barebones arch setup with i3. Everything needed to be touched, and I realized that although I'd been using computers for nearly 30 years, I really didn't understand how they worked.

Maintaining things like Linux, Vim, or some semi-complicated, interlinked toolchain makes me need to learn things constantly. Running updates becomes a lot more complicated, and every time I do it, I learn something new about how computers work that I didn't before.

Why do I do this? Well, I like learning! I also really enjoy my work and if fully retired, would still fiddle with computers as a hobby. Nothing against it, but I think a lot of people use their computers simple to get to their end task, and don't really care much about how that end task might sit on top of a bunch of other core systems.

In my heart, everytime I fiddle with Linux I'm reminded of the seven-year-old kid who sat at the family kitchen computer trying to learn just what the hell DOS was and why my games didn't work. These are magical machines, and it's fun learning why they work. That's what Linux gives me... something to explore.
