That's an awfully optimistic read of the actual statement released by the US copyright office.

The release made it pretty clear that AI generated content cannot be copyrighted, period. If you have content that has partially used AI generation, then only the human-generated portion of the work will be considered under copyright.

This actually opens up some pretty interesting questions about how much human intervention in an AI-generated work needs to happen before the entire work is copyrightable. Just speculating, but they might apply the same rules as works derived from other copyrighted material.
The article discusses how to create effective prompts that aid in long-term learning using spaced repetition. Matuschak suggests that good prompts should be specific, clear, and concise, and should be designed to encourage active recall rather than passive recognition.

He also emphasizes the importance of interleaving, which involves mixing up different types of problems or questions to enhance retention and facilitate transfer of knowledge. Additionally, he suggests that prompts should be personalized and contextualized to increase engagement and motivation.
If only that was true, the only way to remain cloud agnostic seems to be to use Kubernetes and some kind of managed sql database. Once you factor in some things like pubsub, SNS, dynamodb or firebase you quickly lock yourself in. Running the same server less application across clouds gets even more complicated
Oh, there’s no doubt this particular AI software is flawed. But I don’t think there’s anything inherent to AI that renders it unable to master specific frameworks or algorithms in future iterations. The timeframe is up in the air, though.
Nowadays you can get the same factory service manual that your dealership/repair shop uses--it's all just a bunch of digital PDFs. In my experience factory service manuals, at least for GM cars, are orders of magnitude better than a Haynes manual.

No, category theory was not created for the sake of an another level of abstraction. It was created to talk about algebraic topology. I am not sure if you gain anything studying that. Probably you won't but who knows. (But I am thinking more and more that CT advocates are harmful, they trick people to dive into CT which just steals their time, and gives them nothing.)
What I would like is to replace both Docker and docker compose for prod images and local dev, respectively for my team. Is this possible with nix today? It’s mostly a macOS box team.

I use nix flakes to manage my own configuration, but last time I played with building docker images on macOS I had to stand up a builder image on qemu or inside docker.

Further, I’ve historically run into friction between other package managers and nix. The poetry2nix and pnpm2nix kind of tools have a lot of friction [for example, private registry support for poetry is poor]. My current project has a dependency on xmlsec and it’s a bit cumbersome to handle building non wheels on M1.

This reminds me of those YouTube videos where people melt their copper scrap into ingots and then when they go to the scrapyard they are reminded that the scrapyard guy will have to cut their beautiful bars to confirm that they are actually made out of copper or they simply refuse them to start with.

Rippling is awesome, no complaints as a founder. That said, does anyone know how much of this sale was Parker conrad’s own shares?
Totally. A manufacturer supplying drivers and a suitable pre installed OS, and upstreaming changes so they become available widely. The horror.
> but business processes that rely on spreadsheets certainly do not

I wonder if this migration from spreadsheets to databases is what helps ossify business culture in older companies. With spreadsheets, change and iteration are easy with fast cycles. With a database, change is a pain and iteration cycles are very long since everything has to though multiple stages of review, approval, and implementation.
Have you considered the possibility that people aren't as stupid as you think and that these tools actually solve real problems?
I'm also a BU grad from that era. Loved reading this. Don't know the author, but I did know many of the places mentioned. Not sure where the loft was located, but it sounds like the area around Fort Point channel which used to be an artists colony (and also near the site of the infamous Channel nightclub) which is now one of the most expensive pieces of luxury real estate in Boston, the "Seaport" district.

One observation about 80s and '90s tech communities: it's fascinating how groups of people would coalesce around interests, schools, small businesses, or whatever.

In Taiwan, my landlord's eldest son eagerly showed me "Yamnet" which was a local BBS and hacker group he belonged to, I think through his college. I was listening to "How I Built This" podcast interview with one of the founders of Alienware, and his group in Miami was included a lot of second-generation Cuban Americans who got into 90s LAN games and building custom PCs. Even my hometown had a little group of teens who gravitated to the local indie computer store, "The Bit Bucket," to hack on TRS-80s, Commodore-64s, Apple IIe's and early PCs.

These communities seemed to be everywhere, even if they were largely invisible to most people.
That article mentions Pequod’s as a Chicago deep dish with the kind of burnt cheese crustiness of Detroit style. I absolutely agree. If you visit Chicago and think you are supposed to try deep dish to complete your tourist checklist, go over there - you will not be disappointed.

I work for a pretty large financial corporation. They sent out the IT roadmap for the next year and in it was casually mentioned that they expect Macs to be the dominant platform in the next five years. Our current mac usage is <15% and as a result support is an afterthought with a very frustrating experience. For them to say that and push for this change in an industry that very strongly favours Windows is the clearest indication I’ve seen that Windows is starting to lose.

Maybe our code forges don't need to be social media platforms. These 'stars' have pretty dubious value and rarely correlate with code quality or importance (core libraries generally have less attention than apps or tools). There's also a heavy language skew where JavaScript and Python libraries & programs get way more thumbs-ups even when they're technically not any better than alternatives.
Nope. Only those with "if (this->inner_resource) { /* delete inner resource */ }" inside the destructor could count, others wouldn't.

Edit: actually, nevermind. You are (almost) right: all objects with automatic storage duration and with non-trivial destructors are, very pedantically speaking, reference counted; but objects with dynamic storage duration are not. So RAII works by leveraging the built-in very primitive and restricted (binary) form of reference counting and builds on top of it to be able to reference-count objects with dynamic storage duration as well.
I've found that these conditions are needed on my Pixel 5:

1. Using the cropping tool given when taking the screenshot (using the Markup tool in any other way does not work for me)

2. You have to crop at least 2 sides

Also, I'm not able to recover the rest of the image once it is put through Discord.
Can you share more about this apparatus, or what made your doctor think you needed this? Were you investigating sleep issues or dental issues or what.
That said, it's not uncommon to be able to find good blue collar jobs with good employers.

A friend of mine worked a really shitty job for a year, to finally find a much more cushy job, but it's graveyard shift. Eventually they'll put him on day shift. But in the mean time he's earning for his family, he doesn't have to do much work, and he's studying for a degree at night.

If you pick the right field, you have the right skills, and are in a hot market, trades can be very lucrative and you can be drowning in contacts. For someone who wants to be their own boss it can be very rewarding.
A third of that corn is used for animal agriculture as feed, a third for production of ethanol (environmentally worse than gas anyway), and just one third is for human consumption [0].

We could easily eliminate 2/3 of that crop (by switching to electric and plant based) and 2/3 of associated pesticides/herbicides as well.

Who missed what? The bug tracker response suggests this was an intentional change. You are trying to whatabout it in a million ways but the reality is that, no, subtly changing the meaning of POSIX open modes is unhinged.
Generally no. That's misinformation that's frustratingly persistent.

Here is a direct, reliable source of truth straight from the official government website in case my comment gets buried by downvotes: https://www.healthcare.gov/unemployed/cobra-coverage/

You can stay on the existing healthcare plan you had from your former employer, switch to your spouse's plan, or start a new individual plan. By default, Cobra is automatic and retroactive, so you could continue your hospital stay unchanged and then at the end of the following month pay the monthly premium to stay on the plan.

Technically of course anyone could "go into debt" for any purchase, so in a certain pedantic sense, sure you could go into debt for healthcare costs, but it's not like anyone is suddenly becoming uninsured. You have weeks to figure out which health insurance plan going forward is the best option for you. The severance payments should be enough to cover the gap until new employment begins, even for the most irresponsible people who had no savings despite drawing a Google salary.
I don't really care what comes pre-installed, I'm gonna do my own thing no matter what. I just got a (gorgeous) ASUS ZenBook S13 OLED and it took me all of 30 minutes to get it installed. Everything perfectly working (although I'm lucky that the latest BIOS update and 6.2 kernel fix a few issues).
I always think of the Fed as the doctor who overprescribes antibiotics or the fire brigade whicb won’t let even a spark go bu in the forest without flooding the whole zone in order to prevent a fire.

Sometimes you have to take it in the chin like a man and spend 5 or 6 days with tonsillitis and congestion. The following week will be amazing because you are back to normal and appreciate all that you took for granted. Food, drinks, even mundane things such as breathing normally

Same thing with fires, sometimes the soil needs a violent fire to clean weeds and old trees and disseminate nutrients down the soil

We know these concepts at the micro-level, it’s about time we learn them at the societal level.

People are longing for the end of the boom-bust cycle. If anything we need them to be more violent and in line with what Nature does with the 4 seasons

Ummm...

Quick back of the envelope [1] shows that the EC2 pricing is still only about 60% of the Aurora price, and something less than half of the RDS/PostgreSQL price, even counting the intra-region transfer.

There may be some transfer patterns and database sizes that cause the Aurora implementation to end up less expensive, but I think under most use cases Aurora is _more_ expensive, and RDS _much more_ expensive.

Just because the intra-region transfer isn't itemized doesn't mean that you aren't paying for it. Heck, the fact that the mark-up is so _low_ is pretty impressive, to be honest.

[1] Assumptions: [db.]r6g.large, x3 for ec2 instances, 1 year reserved capacity with monthly payments, 100GB storage, 1TB of intra-region transfer/month.

What pushed you to make the switch? Was it Incremental Reading, or some other feature/reason?
> Has this ever been tested often?

Nixon comes to mind immediately. He was formally pardoned just to make sure he wasn't prosecuted.

Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson were impeached (though not removed from office), but were never prosecuted for the (alleged) crimes that led to impeachment.

The Harding administration was notoriously corrupt, and he would almost certainly have been impeached had he not died in office.

Reagan was accused of violating the law in the Iran-Contra affair, but was never prosecuted.

There are undoubtedly other examples that aren't coming to mind immediately, but yeah, I'd say the principle has been fairly well tested.

To turn it around, no former President has ever been prosecuted after leaving office, to my knowledge, and it wasn't because none of them committed crimes.
Yep can confirm, after every update I have to go re-disable this, it's beyond annoying.
Is there any reason to believe that it is more cruel than its contemporaries?
Over here in Germany they have well-established apprenticeship programs for many more jobs than in the US. There are apprenticeships for software developers, for bankers, for "Bürokauffrau/Bürokaufmanm" (office clerks/administrators), for media work, for all sorts of medical jobs, and so on. You name it, and there is probably an "Ausbildung" (apprenticeship) for it here. The apprenticeship programs are still somewhat not as "prestigious" as going to university, but they will get you in the door at a company for that job.

Many people even combine the two, opting to do an apprenticeship and follow it up with studies, or vice-versa, or do both at the same time.
Kenji agrees.

Yeah, socially organizing and motivating people doesn't rank very high on technical achievement, but it's often the difference between groups you've heard of and groups you haven't.

I think the article misses the real dilemma. Think about all the firms who do payroll through Rippling, should those employees and firms suffer because of something they essentially knew nothing about? We want to avoid moral hazard but we also want to avoid firms going bust for no reason. I think the issue is that big economic players (in this case some billionaires and VCs) point to all the small players that will by wiped out and it feels a bit like a hostage scenario. And in that hostage scenario we're basically always going to choose to socialize the risk. IMO the problem comes when we make decisions to socialize risk without socializing reward. When the two are tied together we eliminate the hostage feeling, now big players know there is a big cost to being saved by the government.
PCALL(P), P cannot have a return type

You cannot handle handle exceptions in a block of code without extracting into a procedure... that cannot return anything.

Yeah, I doubt you can "do everything you can do with Java expressions.

And of course Oberon's syntax construction is more complex: you need to have an external variable that gets populated, you need to match on three different types etc.

My context for "learning" Imperial is solely based on measurements of length. I've "learned" it b/c i listen to a lot of US-Centric carpentry podcasts. I've just memorized 1 inch ~ 2.54 cm ; 3/8 inch ~ 1 cm. Most other fraction can be derived from those in the head. At least enough for following a carpentry podcast.

When i need more precision, i use an online converter or a ruler with an imperial and a metric scale. FWIW i only think in metric.
pizza ovens rely on a chain of different skills that all must be done well or the pizza comes out poorly. correctly making the dough, correctly topping it, getting it to slide off the peel correctly, putting it in the right place in the oven, rotating it correctly, and probably several things i'm missing. it leads to an enormous amount of frustration; i haven't gotten something i would consider "good" even once yet.

I like Flutter and Rust, it's pretty nice. I actually like Dart as well, it has some very interesting features. I've used Electron and Tauri a bit before but I didn't like that it still wasn't "native," it still used a web wrapper.
Well put.

That being said, the Chicago version is still better.

NYC pizza is a bad joke. As long as you're only paying $1 it's not that bad for the price. That price point and the places that offered it are going extinct unfortunately. The "slice" is dead.

Imagine having to fold your "pizza" because it's just a nasty mess of sauce and cheese.
Allow me to mention my project Ankivalenz[1], which turns structured HTML files into Anki decks. I use it with Quarto[2][3] to generate my Anki decks. Instead of having an unorganized "pool" of Anki cards, I can create hierarchical, well-organized notes and turn them into an Anki deck. This makes it easier to create Anki decks, but more importantly, it makes it easier to keep Anki decks up to date.

How hard does the HVAC guy work? I wager if you compared wages earned per hour worked (not just employed), you come out ahead. You probably beat doctors and lawyers, too.

Large salaries mean nothing if you don’t account for how much effort is expended to earn the money.
Unmentioned are the regulatory implications of 100% deposit insurance.

A regulator liable for ALL the deposits becomes responsible for ALL the assets. Regulators are generally conservative, and loans to new companies with strange ideas and no track record don't look so good to them. SVB's underwriting of startups depended on regulatory freedom to take risks not entirely understood by regulators, with corresponding risk that those loans might fail. Some career bureaucrat will not look kindly on a bunch of loans to the likes of nextbigthing.com.

That underwriting didn't kill SVB. But restrictions on it are likely to follow -- the bureaucrats lack the judgment and knowledge to approve anything without a proven track record.

The SVB depositor bailout may have spared startups some anxiety and complication (the bulk of their cash was never at risk), but it may very well prevent the replacement of SVB. The startup community will likely regret its weekend of panic and special pleading.

(There is also the problem of politicization of credit allocation, which we saw in 2008 when mortgages to low-income and subprime borrowers contributed to (I don't say caused) the housing bubble that brought down the whole mortgage market. But this will be of less interest/concern to the tech startup community.)

And this can't be the case, at least not in the sense that colleges can offer education at the caliber they once were when only educating 25-30% of the population 70+ years ago. Academic ability, like most other traits, exists on something close to a normal distribution. Not to mention the failings of the secondary education system feeding into it.

Banking has been a quasi-government-operated industry for over 100 years, since the creation of the Fed in 1913, the creation of the FDIC in 1933, and the increased regulation since 2008.

In 2008 the Fed created a two-layer banking system: banks that were "too big to fail" whose deposits are effectively insured for infinite amounts, and all other banks whose deposits are insured for $250k. Nobody realized this until a few weeks ago, and without the government's scramble to respond everyone would have moved their deposits to the big banks, killing all the others.

People finally realized this because of duration risk on long-term investments. Who caused that duration risk to actually manifest as a real problem? The Fed! The same people who are supposed to run the banking system in a stable way have contributed to the instability of the banking system by keeping rates low for so long, overreacting to Covid, assuming inflation was "transitory", and then raising rates very quickly trying to squash the inflation they caused.

That's not capitalism. We haven't had capitalism in banking for a century.

People have an impression that banking is a private industry and the government comes in to bail it out, when really the government was involved the entire time.

Aside from the crash in 2008, where the Fed really did help, a number of the major recessions in the past century have either been caused by or made worse by the Fed, including the Great Depression by Bernanke's own admission.

Banking regulations certainly need to be changed because of what happened last week, but the way the Fed is run should definitely also be changed.
Asking about a degree isn't the same as requiring one for the role.

Every employer will ask, but at this point for software devs, it's only ever used as an excuse to disqualify someone for other reasons (e.g. h1b stuff) if they don't have it.
4) is the main thing for 4 year, in person colleges, I think. You can learn anything online. Credentials are nice but you can get pretty good credentials doing 2 years at a community college and finishing up at a state university. But meeting a bunch of ambitious people your age at the same point in their career is pretty valuable I think. At least it is an opportunity to roll the dice on meeting your startup crew.

Because money and (stock) value is not strictly correlated. A business can lose money but their stock can be up because value depends largely on potential unrealised gain in the future. Then theres the fed making depositors whole again which means any negative sentiment against several banks before the feds involvement will recover. Maybe someone more knowledgeable could weigh in on that last part.
