Musk is a choir boy compared to those who have been sculpting this grotesque firmware/software landscape that prevents you from asserting meaningful level of control(+autonomy) over your devices. Just another pawn on the board.
> if you're not the parent of this child, then we strongly recommend that you encourage a parent to contact us using the instructions above.

Given that the instructions are to prove ownership over the phone number as well as trying to at least somewhat link that to an underage child how exactly could this reasonably be accomplished by someone other than the parent? If you know enough to be confident that a given account is linked to a minor then there's basically zero chance that you won't also know of a way to contact their parents about it. Given the e2e nature of WhatsApp any other implementation would be akin to the "But think about the children!!!" reactionary calls to ban e2e encryption.
Just port an electron app like slack to the watch to accomplish this without dedicated hardware
So I guess you know where to begin then and that is with you.
Children not using social media is not "going full Amish" though. To use your example, there is no safe age to start smoking. Would you suggest that just because you can't avoid it as adults anyways, we just get rid of our restrictions on smoking for children? Society needs to recognize that social media is a vice and we should treat it as such.
Lots of lawyers only collect a percentage of your winnings. And courts often award lawyer costs. Find one of those lawyers. For this the incentives are aligned.
> Explaining the argument one more time is not really convincing.

Sorry, I wasn't explaining again because I thought you weren't convinced of my point. Based on your previous reply, I thought you hadn't understood my point. Because if you had, the "well, a millilitre of other liquids doesn't weigh the same either" seems like a complete non-sequitur. I couldn't figure out what point you would be trying to make with that comment if you had understood me. (Knowing that you did, I'm still not sure? Like... so what?)
I think you are on to something here. That's exactly what happened with smoking.

Factors for that being successful was mostly just repeating the information about how bad it was a lot in the beginning. Once everybody agrees about that, then you slowly start making it socially unacceptable.

I could see a similar thing happening with social media of awareness of the seriousness of the damage becomes as widespread as for smoking. As in I think it's possible that one day it will be totally socially unacceptable to be glued to your phone at a social event of some sort.
I think you are going to run into problems on most of these platforms. Either issues like the on mentioned by OP, or just having to compete against people that are willing to do the job for 1/10th the price that you will do it for.

For me, I got my clients through my personal blog about programming where some people contacted me and asked to hire me. You can also just start being very active on the relevant communities in your niche and build up a reputation.

All of this takes time, but I believe it to be the most reliable long term strategy to get work from high quality clients on your own terms.
I would at least get someone to write a letter. That much isn't expensive and there's always a chance they'll give in at the first sign of legal trouble.

If that doesn't work though, and the amount isn't worth a legal fight, I don't know if there's much you can do, sorry :/
If the monitoring is continuous though, could meaning be found in all the variations? Especially given how much context the watch has about your heart and breathing and current activity?
The subtitle is jaw dropping

"A government cloud email server was connected to the internet without a password"

3TB

The exposed server was part of an internal mailbox system storing about three terabytes of internal military emails, many pertaining to U.S. Special Operations Command, or USSOCOM, the U.S. military unit tasked with conducting special military operations.
At least until the next time Google decides to slightly tweak its encoding algorithms. Then say goodbye to your data.
We're around the same age and my parents had pretty heavy restrictions on tv and videogames, I also got ticked off at the time, but I was certainly happy for it even by the end of my teen years. I imagine if your goal is to make your kid happy while they're still a kid, there's a good chance you'll screw up your kid. What makes a kid happy half the time is stuff they'll regret in short order. And yeah, more rules went out the window as each of my successive siblings were born, too.
I also seem to remember kids who had NO tv whatsoever (or just PBS, which was arguably worse than nothing), and I don't seem to remember them being too bothered by it. As much as we teased them for not getting the simpsons etc jokes. In fact they seemed to develop, at a much earlier age, some independence from the crowd.

It should be inexpensive to send them a letter from a lawyer. That might be enough to get them to pay you what you are owed.
One other thing to note is that the drugs have changed. In general as the years have went on, drugs have increased in potency and side effects.

You don't have to use just the POSIX-based APIs. There are io_uring, xdp, bpf, and more provided by Linux, for instance, exposing many more capabilities to userspace beyond POSIX-compliant APIs. You don't have to use sockets to do networking, you can get asynchronous local disk IO. What is the author waiting for, if it's the POSIX standard being too restrictive that's the root of all of their problems?
In case anyone here weren't a farmer, John Deer is the Apple Tesla of industrial equipment with not just built-in planned obsolescence but built-in inability to self-repair or self-diagnose without proprietary equipment. Much hay has been made in R2R about John Deer's customer-hostile practices.

The harvest time sensor reset tax is why some small-time farmers stick to old and overseas equipment they can repair without a tech visit. It's not about the customer being unreasonable about NLA parts, but the modern unreasonableness of how the manufacturer impedes the customer with artificial scarcity and artificial limitations on knowledge, diagrams, diagnostic equipment, diagnostic equipment manuals, and the nature of some repair parts.
> People also tend to be familiar with certain technologies and will discount the flaws of existing technology vs. the flaws of new technology.

Is that really a problem? It's only natural to get accustomed to old problems caused by old tech (where workarounds probably already exist or limitations understood and accepted) while it makes sense to hold new tech to a higher standard since it has the benefit of learning from past mistakes and should avoid introducing obvious problems for people in the future to deal with. Our future selves will thank us for being more critical of flawed new tech than we are of old tech.
We could probably find equivalent articles from about 1995 along the lines of 'Company Restricts Employee Use of Internet'.
The USCO also gave their justification: not enough human input in the process of creation to justify a copyright. After all, what is the point of copyright? To protect the interest of human creators. Human creators get exclusivity on their own ideas in exchange for sharing them with the world. This deal breaks down if there is no effort involved in creating the works.
I came the opposite conclusion as you.

Say your friend looks great in a piece of clothing. Based on just this, the next time they ask you what they should buy, you suggest the style and brand they looked good in before.

A day later, you discover that the brand in question clubs baby seals.

Does this suddenly make you liable for all the atrocities the brand commits?

Superficially, a YT recommendation is based on metadata - video length? Did the user watch the video beyond threshold values? Did they comment or react to a video? Where do this user’s metrics like in comparison to metrics of other users who watched the same video?

I concluded that since the algorithms aren’t moderating the content, just your access to it, they are not afoul of S230.

Maybe the answer is to require all social media to provide a strictly timeline based view. Even here, the submission time stamp is purely metadata about the content, as is the watch duration or “comment/react?” flags.
You can actually create millions of threads. Threads are just coroutines managed by the kernel after all.
A topic I've been interested in lately is quantum machine learning[0]. Qubits as neurons make sense as a natural architecture to me. Though, as I understand we are still somewhat early in terms of the number of available qubits being useful.

While reading about the actual advantages of quantum machine learning over classical machine learning something that came up was a type of error correction you can do in quantum computing that would make backpropagation faster.

Does anyone who understands this better know if this breakthrough might theoretically apply for that application (in the future, with more qubits of course)?

> To me, the fact that no one up to this day felt that the issues in this area was significant enough to warrant a fix or an alternative tells me that it's noise about nothing.

Do you not view io_uring or Windows IOCP as alternatives? Or the plethora of other non-POSIX IO extensions in Linux, such as splice and sendfile? SPDK and DPDK? There’s also Google’s Fuschia operating system, which is not Posix. I think it’s pretty clear that people are investing in a variety of alternative approaches.
I did remember his name, though it took me years from first hearing it to reading something about him. I still remember how I first heard the name, long ago, when I was just a kid: through the third episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. In it, there was a ship named "SS Tsiolkovsky".

(It wasn't that good of an episode. Doubly so for a kid, given some of the themes in it. Still, this weird ship with a weird name got stuck in my head. Oberth class, as I later learned. Another important name for space exploration.)

There's plenty of other people in scientific and engineering fields about whom I first learned this way. Goddard, for example. It was a really nice thing about Star Trek from that era: all those little hooks that could become springboards to learn about science and technology. I can safely say it had a major impact on the direction my life took.
and the old folk that created all these things, don't bother to explain them, then get uppity when someone new comes along and doesn't think their creations are perfect.

2 sides of the same coin.
Also nobody seems to have heard of distress codes. It’s standard in home alarm systems to allow a code which disables the alarm but secretly sends a hostage alarm to authorities. Crypto multisigs will eventually have such setups. This idea that violence will be a more profitable approach when people adopt private currency is simply silly.
As a former Audi owner, the old saying was absolutely true: if you can afford to buy two Audis, you can afford to own one. Absolutely fantastic vehicle until it blows up and then you are buying VW parts with Porsche price tags.
Very odd to read such a writeup that while seemingly pretty comprehensive, nevertheless completely misses mentioning of alternative tools like InvokeAI (yet another wrapper around Stable Diffusion) that allow, at least in the web GUI version, significantly more granular control over the output by the human artist.

Good article, but the landscape is a lot bigger than what this article would suggest. And, even more obviously, constantly growing.
That name and history made me think his son was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlik_Morozov but of course they're not related.

Or ditch electrolytic and tantalum caps wherever possible because they're crap. It's often possible to engineer a more expensive, reliable LR circuit for the impedance of a cheap RC one.
I know this is a joke but I’ve heard many variations and - how does Electron taketh?

Is the codebase getting de-optimized with time? Is it badly architectures extensions? Is the JS runtime becoming slower?
Presumably your kids are 10 or more years old now? If so (as I’m sure you know) childcare and medical has gotten much more expensive in that timeframe
This is a pretty techno-myopic view.

German Software Engineer here. I'd rather chop off my left pinky than working on any software product any German car manufacturer is developing:

1) Their management hierarchies only consist of MBA suits that think short term and treat their engineers like apes in a zoo. This frequently leads to engineers actually behaving like apes in a zoo.

2) German culture is deeply based on thinking in silos. They divide everything into boxes in order to organize it "the right way" and don't understand network effects that occur if you focus on building a great (software engineering) culture.
Instead, they mindlessly copy-paste whatever fancy thing they see in a silicon valley context.

3) My hypothesis of why German IT products are almost always horrible is that they're rarely thinking from customer's (or developer's!) perspective. They may be proud of some specs of their products but the overall thing is then often just a bunch of related subsystems "pragmatically" tied up with some duct tape.

They still obviously don't understand why they're being outsmarted by Apple, Amazon, Google and others. They're aggressively arrogant and rather lobby the German gov't or cheat to achieve short-time success instead of reorganizing their structures to still be leading in 10 years.

I bet, they internally expect industry leading products 2 years after launch and then will quietly kill the whole thing when they realize that their bet was insane from the beginning.

QNX isn't exactly defining for an ecosystem, MB.OS probably will be.
Then we have a different definition of reading.

Treating business like a part of the family is a bad idea. You will end up with nepotism in the organization and shun out new ideas. Yet some real businesses embrace this mantra and bad things have been happening.

Depending on where you live, small claims court is an option if the amount owed is within the limits or if the max limit is acceptable for you.

Don’t underestimate the value of a well-worded, signature required snail mail, either. That usually resolves these matters since it usually escalates to the right people.
Sort of. Look into gpt-index/Langchain
I don't know how I feel about the main question of AI copyright-ability*, but do disagree with the idea that if the outputs of a tool used by the artist are very random, it means the end product is not creativity.

The Jackson Pollack example cited in the article is apt. Lots of artists use randomness-infused techniques, and select their final product from among many random versions based on what came out the best.

*However I am pretty confident that the result will eventually land on "Works created by big media companies, even done entirely using AI, are fully copyrightable."
I have a lot to learn.

> A focus on race-relations, in 2023, obscures the real issues plaguing South Africa, which, although in large part a legacy of apartheid, don't have to do with black-white relations.

What are the real issues?
Yes. The rules are the same (although there are often many versions of the rules, and settings within each version) but the physical machine is always going to vary, both physically in construction and in setup. The tilt sensitivity, type of rubber used, condition of parts, level of the playfield, type of feet, tightness of legs, flooring, strength of the coils, angle of the flippers, size of the flippers, cleanliness of the playfield, presence of wax, position of posts, and the strength of springs all contribute to variation.

The supply side of the drugs is still done by illegal organizations. Portland decriminalized demand which increased the total amount of drug trade without formalizing the drug trade. More violence is a natural consequence.
I looked through his topology problems and notes, and he could really use the guidance of a professor, or at least someone to give him feedback. It's not practical to teach yourself mathematics to start before you can really check your own work. There are quite a few mistakes and misquoted/misunderstood definitions that have no way of ever getting corrected.
Is a photograph of a painting itself copyrighted?
Img2img or controlnet can basically do that, in less than 30 seconds.

Even as someone extremely pro-AI art, I don't think AI-generated content should have copyright in the usual sense. Every art model was trained on massive amounts of copyrighted data, it would be very hypocritical to suddenly claim strong copyright on the output of AI generated items.

I think AI generated copyright should be 'pay-to-register', people can pay say $5 per image to register their image, if they believe it to be valuable enough to be copyrighted. In this sense, its more like trademarks, rather than the automatic moral right of copyright.

Your average AI art (which is worthless) will not be copyrighted. The ones with significant amounts of attention, post-editing, and economic value, the AI artist can simply register at the copyright office.

The extra funding for the copyright office, will also give them more staffing to deal with the torrential tide of AI-related copyright issues, and encourage them to build a healthy ecosystem where manual art and AI art co-exists.

I'm not a huge fan of this article, but I do think:

- there could be better primitives for communication than a byte stream. Why can't I just send another process a chunk of memory?

- the posix byte stream API is bizarrely based on a flat buffer instead of a ring buffer, which is just the obviously wrong data structure IMO.

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

The author doesn't really bring up concrete alternatives like the above though, so it's hard to know what they are railing against

Seems to be similar in the UK as of Defamation Act 2013?

TIL "libel tourism" was a motivator for it, precisely because English libel law was too far-reaching.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libel_tourism

> On January 1st, 2014 the Defamation Act 2013 came into force, requiring plaintiffs who bring actions in the courts of England and Wales alleging libel by defendants who do not live in Europe to demonstrate that the court is the most appropriate place to bring the action. Serious harm to an individual's reputation or serious financial harm to a corporation must also be proven. Good faith belief that a disclosure was in the public interest was made a defense.
You can speed run on equal footing with any NES game and a stock console. That's not possible with pinball. The only comparable scores are on the same physical machine at the same time.
You would still deal with the deliverability challenges of getting your private email server trusted by everyone. It will work 95% but there are a bunch of weird edge cases due to old IP blacklists, bad spam rules, etc that will cause you problems and basically require a greybeard email expert to diagnose and fix. Sadly, I think it's just too hard to run your own email server these days.

step 1 for Mercedes Benz is to make a vehicle reliable especially at their asking price.

had a mb c300. lots of oil leak after warranty period. sensors also bad, constantly complain about low coolant level, even when it good. transmission also slipping.

purchase car brand new. never abused engine..always put high octane gas..did all routine maintenance from mb dealer.

Will NEVER buy mb product. when i read about new software to me they just bunch of fancy talking clowns. have a 2012 hyundai elantra now driven by me daughter.

more reliable than mb c300. even hyundai more reliable than mercedes benz.
I will forewarn against following this advice blindly however, because it heavily relies on your audience. Any mature writer should on some level conceive of a precise population of consumers for their work and write to that population, and indeed say “eugh that’s an irrelevant opinion” to people outside of their audience. This is also referred to as having authorial intent or voice. Writing a technical analysis of a very strange bug doesn’t necessarily need to highlight that this isn’t entomology!
