> How do they do it?

Maybe I'm naive, but it seems obvious: smaller plots, denser arrangements, and better zoning rules. Plus I'm pretty sure money isn't cheap in Japan and land is primarily bought in cash.

Still, in the US land/housing is pretty cheap... outside of the popular areas. I'm not saying this to say everyone should just move out of cities, but to show that it's not an American issue, but an urban American issue. Our current rules do not scale into urbanism.
> For resource sharing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMScluster and remember that thanks to record-based file storage, locking can happen on the record level -- imagine instead of having to lock a whole JSON document for writing, you could lock just the key/value pair you were updating, and other programs could read/write the rest of the file safely!

That could exist right now.

But either you want think about the "plumbing" under the hood that makes that possible, or your don't. One way or another it has to be there. Even as hard as Apple has tried to pretend that their OS(es) don't have a BSD/POSIX/Mach kernel, most developers (certainly the ones who have to pay attention to cross-platform development) end up bumping into somewhere along the way.

> Secondary storage is now just an nvme cache for what we might as well call "tertiary storage," which is in the cloud

This might be true for some sort of computing, but it is absolutely not the general rule, and I would wager that it never will be. There's nothing you can do on the cloud that you cannot do on local storage except provide remote access more simply.

It absolutely can. I made the distinction between generating an image and using the nix specific infra because once you are in the ecosystem, some people prefer to use that tooling. Also there are some fancy things you can do with config based deployment that are generally harder with image based deployments.
Diabetes falls under dangerous medical conditions, and they have a variety of wearable devices now for continuous glucose monitoring that are popular. They're invasive though, can allow other people to learn about your medical history just by looking at you (depending on what you're wearing/which device you have), can complicate intimacy and contact sports, and in general the patients would be much happier if a smart watch could do it without specialized hardware.

There is a lot (a lot) of history here that I think would help you test your assumptions on this.

> No one is going to make your new wiz-bang shell the system default on a popular distro without it being completely compatible with existing shell scripts, documentation, examples, etc. It's just a non-starter...

False. zsh is not POSIX nor fully compatible with bash, while being default login shell in popular distros like Kali and Deepin (and macOS).

Not sure if Garuda Linux passes the "popular" threshold for you but their default is fish.

Shell scripts typically lead with a shebang, making your login shell inconsequential as long as you have the target shell available.

>You're like 99% of the way there. This is the behavior you want. The alternative is panic shortages from people afraid prices are about to skyrocket.

Forcing prices to be low has the opposite problem: since the cost of stocking up is low, everybody does so. If you're at the grocery store and there's a hurricane approaching, why wouldn't you stock up on some non-perishable foods? After all, worst case scenario you pay a bit more than you would have (assuming you only buy stuff on sale), and you can consume them over time, so the net cost to you is very low. Of course, if every shopper stocks up for 2 weeks worth of perishables, the shelves will be empty within an hour.

> We treated the DNS server in question simply as a key-value store where a message would set/replace a specific record.

Interesting! That doesn't sound like any DNS server I'm aware of. In BIND et al, a zone was a file, and to update a zone you needed to modify a zone file and SIGHUP the daemon; which in turn meant that whatever you were using to mechanistically modify zones, needed to be able to parse and regenerate an entire zone file at a time. (It's actually a lot like what's required to mechanistically update-patch Kubernetes YAML resource manifests, now that I think about it.)

Or do you mean that you had exactly one record per zone in this key-value store? If so, how did that work exactly? Zones need at least an SOA record, no? Or, I guess, maybe not, if this nameserver was only exposed within the Intranet, without the requirement of being an authoritative source that other DNS servers could fetch and cache from.
> there could be better primitives for communication than a byte stream. Why can't I just send another process a chunk of memory?

shm APIs have made this possible for decades.

so obviously wrong that the terabytes of existing POSIX-compatible code is broken, or limited, or something?

> Too much of the threading API is preempted threads, when cooperative scheduling (aka yielding) is so much easier to implement and understand.

if you want/need co-routines use them, and leave threads for the domains of programming where preemption is a critical part of the model.

Yes, those runways are called "hot and high". Another one is Albuquerque. Without knowing more I can't say why the software would return a result using a different weight from what was input without clearly alerting the humans of that change, or else return an error with no attempt to give performance parameters at all.
> I always assumed that Midjourney, the company running the application, owns the copyright

In a way that's even worse; building a tool that someone else uses to produce a creative work shouldn't grant the original builder copyright over the user's output. That would also have a ton of implications beyond AI.

It's bad enough that many software tools come with license agreements around their usage that reassigns copyright and restricts output, but at least in those cases the agreement rests on a license that the user is signing to get access to the tool. But we wouldn't claim that the person who's made an artist's paints owns the painting made with them.

> The website is fairly circumspect around the whole issue as you can imagine.

I remember it making the news when one of the companies in the imagegen space (I don't think it was Midjourney, but it might have been) said that users would keep copyright on images they made, and I remember similarly thinking at the time, "well, that's very nice of you but I'm pretty sure that's not your decision to make."

But agreed, I think that the company is probably not going to go out of their way to really clarify how much IP control they think they have over what other people do with their tool.

----

There's implications beyond AI to saying that AI images are copyrightable, but I think they're small potatoes compared to the implications of saying that inventions confer copyright of artwork made with inventions back to the inventor, even if someone else was using the invention to create the artwork.

When studios pay artists, they don't get copyright, the artist does. The studio gets copyright if they think ahead and make the artist sign a contract to assign their copyright over. And negotiation over assigning copyright is part of the payment process and contract process, the studio doesn't get that for free.

Everything on a commercial airliner is designed to fly safely and subject to FAA regulations. That includes (usually, the 737Max shows there are problems) high standards for the software on board. Once in the air, all the software and computational power, plus whatever networking hardware and software would be needed to talk the multiple systems needed for the computations, is just dead weight, and excess complexity.

Which would you rather have, a software error on the ground that results in a minor incident, or a software error while in flight, resulting in a possibly fatal crash?
I think it would make an even bigger difference with churn. The currency which is managed by a single system has a much higher chance of being deflationary in practice (due to churn taking coins out of circulation). The currency managed by 1000 different systems is very unlikely to be deflationary; chances are, at least one of those 1000 systems is going to go rogue (e.g because of a bug or hack) and start issuing coins which will propagate to all other systems which trust it. It may be difficult to figure out which one started breaking the rules and once they found out, there would be no incentive to report it or fix the problem.
That is the type of problem that takes a company of Apple’s size to tackle.

This makes sense in principle, but in practice police cannot both carefully adhere to the law and serve their intended function.

Police are expected to be the security force of the powerful and influential against society's undesirables. If cops were required to strictly obey the law, they would be much less effective at this job. Most officers would understandably opt simply not to get involved in situations which might lead to someone's rights being violated.

If the powerful want a force which is willing to knock heads for them, they need to assure that force it will not be held responsible for the mess it makes along the way.

What you're missing is that the after-school tutoring will also need to be stopped. Either declare it illegal or raise taxes high enough that families will not have any disposable income left to hire tutors.

I'm not sure how to reconcile the purported gains with the fact that matrix multiplies are empirically the most heavily accelerated primitive [1] on current-gen hardware and that the "digital ops" shown here aren't even a blip on the "fractional of total compute" Figure 6. Sure, they're very small in terms of FLOPs, but they take up a disproportionate amount of time being bandwidth-bound. Intuitively, adding another hop off-chip and A/D or D/A conversion doesn't sound great, and I wonder if that's why this work sticks to efficiency over end-to-end throughput. Given that GPUs today mostly trade efficiency for clock rate and speed (think about how a single GPU can be at > 300W TDP), how much efficiency could we gain by simply inverting that tradeoff?

Is he wrong? "Price gouging" doesn't appear out of nowhere. It's always in response to some sort of demand/supply shock.

How about this for a completely new take on copyright.

The amount of money you can make via copyright protection should be in direct correlation to the amount of effort that went into generating the creative work.

If you type a prompt into a machine and it spits out an image. 30 seconds of work, copyright will protect you until you have made a reasonable profit for your time.

If a movie company puts 10000 person months into a big blockbuster, copyright will protect them until the move has made a reasonable profit.

If you choose never to monetize an artwork, it remains in copyright for the maximum time.

I have no idea how you would value a photographer being in the right place at the right time.

It's indeed the best way to learn, but schools are charged with issuing grades to students and there are just too many problems with take-home projects (i.e. paying someone else to do it, etc.), and with group collaboration on such projects (one person doing 80% of the work, etc.), that it generally doesn't ever happen except in a few small-sized high-level undergrad or perhaps graduate courses, where the students are more motivated about learning the material then they are about gettting a good grade, or just passing the class.

Hands-on lab courses are something of an exception, as you simply have to do the project yourself in class, but these tend to be long classes (three hour sessions etc.) and again are limited to relatively small groups of students.

Building computer simulations in real-time of physics problems might be a way to do it, but the students would need to have good programming skills beforehand. Basically a physics hackathon using a standardized set of programming tools, that would be fun and educational.
