Wait a minute, didn't I learn in college decades ago that deciding what is true is equivalent to the halting problem? Meaning, it can't be done in principle. There might be practical ways to ascertain the truth for a useful subset of statements in certain domains, but we are a very long way from knowing the truth about arbitrary statements, if that is even possible.

If you can easily afford the latest iPhone why bother stealing one? More to the point being part of the YC social circle is worth a lot more than a phone. Being known as a thief, untrustworthy , would either lead to being ejected from that group or render it much less valuable. People do stupid things all the time but they do them less when they’re clearly not in their self interest.
they're storing it on a bench behind them. it might fall on the floor and break. someone else could steal it. The fire alarm might go off and it might get destroyed or lost.

It's just a setup I'd expect from someone in grade 2, not people pretending to be professionals.

I also use my phone for all sorts of security authentication. I wouldn't volunteer it to anyone else for any reason that wasn't an absolute emergency. It's a needless risk without any benefit. I can just keep it in my pocket on silent.
Oh, I feel sorry for you.
>There's nothing the fed can do to escape this one, it's either massive inflation or massive recession. The fed has avoided the latter by bailing out the banks again so expect double digit inflation for the next decade.

I love how confident people are with their predictions.

Since you're so confident about what's going to happen, why does CPI matter to you? You can invest in the market in such a way you're going to be rich anyway.

Anyway, I'll happily help make you richer: do you want to make a long term bet that there won't be double digit inflation for the next decade (let's say there won't be annualized inflation >= 10% over the period from March 25th, 2023 to March 24th, 2033)?

Wow, reading the article this seems like a clear cut case. Did IA really think they could win this?

Edit: reading other sources, it seems like the crux of the idea is they would only lend out books where they had the same number of physical copies. I can see the reasoning for that, but it seems hard for fair use to get you there.
Should free services be heavily scrutinized as an anti-competitive dirty marketing tactic, then?

If you have deeper pockets than your competitor you could bleed them dry by offering it for free until they're dead and then "coincidentally" not being able to afford keeping it free after that.

I distrust free services as a consumer at this point, but I think it's unrealistic to expect enough people to do that to keep it from being a way of distorting the market and stifling competition.

If it's less of a dirty trick and more of a "shit, we thought we'd figure something out, but we didn't" then I still think there being more scrutiny/regulation around free services could be beneficial purely to push companies away from stupid self-defeating and market-harming business models?
There are bars with Faraday cages built into the walls to achieve this effect, here’s one https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-36943686.amp

It seems like it’s probably legal. Might want to provide a reception-available area to give people the option of stepping out to check their phone, similar to a smoking area.
Ahh, you're right. They copied the full books, but they don't let the public view more than snippets unless they have rights to do so. That must be the 'transformative use'.
It's certainly not limited to extreme poverty. I'd say the clear majority will show concern when a grocery item climbs $3.

While I wouldn't accuse you of showing "extreme privilege" for not noticing a $3 price increase... good on you for not needing to worry about that... I'm tempted to accuse you of it for thinking it's only the poor that would. That's a pretty glaring disconnect.
The implausible claim needed proof here isn't that one. Those state broadcasters absolutely do have their own angle (pro-state, and pro whatever the editorial staff is into, vaguely left of centre stuff these days).

They aren't on the same level as major US news networks when it comes to distortion and agenda-pushing though. This is my opinion, but there are plenty of systematic studies that show the same thing. If you look but can't find any then I'll come back with links.

Google search results have honestly been surprising me with how annoying/bad they are for about 3-4 years now.

And I'm still sore about the fact that they moved paid search results from a special column over on the far right side of the page into the main list with all the organic search results.

One really gets the sense that when you're using Google you're the product.
Sounds nice, but it shouldn't take -that- for people to interact with each other. It's so incredibly rude to dick with your phone at a gathering of friends, yet so common, especially among but not exclusive to younger people.

I went to a small superbowl gathering once with some folks I didn't know(friends of friend), where the host quite literally spent the entire time on their phone, reading twitter. They'd announce "someone posted 'x'" about a play or commercial. The others would feign laughter, then go back to playing with their phones until they heard cheering or laughing. I left at halftime in disbelief people operated this way.
I got kids and it took me a minute...
I’m just not inclined to surrender my phone to anyone for any reason. Maybe my sense of security is out of date, but it was drummed into me over years and years that physical access was a big deal.

That said, I fully support the idea of being phoneless in personal conversations. I was having lunch earlier this week with someone I hadn’t seen in a long time, and was determined to keep my phone in my pocket. It definitely took some willpower to ignore it when I felt it buzzing a few times.

I heavily curate my alerts so I knew these were messages from someone important to me. But sure enough, when I checked them after lunch it was all things that were totally fine to wait for an hour or so. And it was nice to be fully present for lunch.
Yes, i.e. 'inflation', but there are different ways of measuring that. In the UK at least the main ways are CPI & RPI - Consumer & Retail.

Broadly speaking RPI is CPI + mortgages & rent prices, but actually there's a newer one that's exactly that which tracks lower. They're different 'baskets of goods', used in differnt cases, but generally CPI is what's meant. (RPI is used for student loan repayments for example.)
This is more or less already possible. You can create a focus mode that only lets certain critical apps through. Of course the bigger problem is having the discipline to keep it on and not randomly pull out your phone anyways. And Apple (or anyone else) cannot fix that part.
The last last sentence?
some third party might steal it. It might fall off the super safe bench they're storing it on and break. It might somehow get compromised by them or a third party.

Why would anyone with an ounce of sense give these people and their setup anything of value?
well, if it's so great that you can run old apps, what if one of those old apps you run, you want to make a tiny change to it?

still it shows that Microsoft's legendary (albeit narrow) backward compatibility doesn't really mean a whole lot, except for sounding cool

As for this, no, someone could pick up an old app written by someone else, or lost their copy of the license, or maybe the license belonged to a company they no longer work for. Also it apparently doesn't apply to the person asking the question...

Stop repeating the mantra. Prostitution has existed for millennia. It's not going to change.

You can help to democratize it (i. e. independent sex workers) or you can help the big bad guys (by denying independent sex workers access to a payment system they can easily access). Using your very limited non-logic, you have decided you want to help the big guys. Congratulations.

> IIRC this all came about because the IA decided to increase their lending beyond the limits of the licenses they had during covid

That's the excuse the publishers are pushing, but ultimately they disagree with, and have successfully argued in court it seems, against the entire principle.

Ultimately, controlled digital lending should be as lawful as format shifting an album: this is format shifting from a physical book to an ebook.

Oh please. Cry me a river. Australia’s right-wing government ran a decade-long ABC smear campaign which included multiple government-mandated enquires, of the government’s design mind you, to try to prove and weed out bias at the ABC.

1. They didn’t really find anything of note.
2. The whole exercise has scared many at the ABC into not doing good journalism
3. The decade of budget cuts which had a negligible effect on the bottom line but were a fantastic way to virtue signal to the party’s right-wing fan base took away from, among other things, the quality of the ABC’s journalistic output.

You’re looking at a news org that was run under a right-wing government for a decade, including them installing one of their own at the top, and telling me that there’s ‘left-ring bias’? The assertions you’re making about things “never happening” don’t reflect journalistic content I see being pumped out of the ABC ALL the time.

How would that be accomplished? What are the options here?

1) an elected legislature that's supposed to consider the greater good?

2) a generally non-elected judiciary that is supposed to consider the greater good to override the legislature?

3) a hopefully-benevolent dictator to consider the greater good?

Obviously any of these methods can fail; the first of them is the easiest to "edit," as it were. Things like term limits would likely improve it, though.

4) some degree of commitment they won’t sunset this in the future when people aren’t as upset

As I recall, this is precisely how British Columbia got Sunday shopping. Stores and shopping malls broke the law repeatedly. There were fines, but Sunday shopping was popular. Eventually, public pressure led governments to legalize Sunday opening.

Pretty insane that Barbados was able to prevent Grenada from scoring an own goal. I would think that would be very easy to do if you were actively trying to do it.

Although my partner is a lawyer and she sometimes asks it to summarize cases (without providing the full source material manually) and it sometimes invents entire details in the cases in a very persuasive way. So you always have to be careful and double check if it's important.
Interesting way to attack Open AI's growing moat. Ultimately these models will have to come down to some manageable size.

Gross was never a journalist, and her show never had any aspirations toward neutrality. It's an interview show at the intersection of culture, politics, art and science. Of all the people you would pick as having "abdicated their responsibility", she's probably the worst possible choice, because there never was any responsibility implied or explicit.
It does suck, but it was self-inflicted. I love the IA, I've even done volunteer work for the Physical Archive, but the "emergency library" was mad. I can't imagine how they justified it.

I find their $60/year plan okay for unlimited private registries, OCI registries, vulnerability scanning, granular permissions with app tokens, and builds. I am fully aware I can do some of that with GitHub, I am also paying for it, it costs me $12/month with a couple of orgs and an additional contributor.

What other alternatives exist? I can do a registry with object storage backend, but I still have to host the registry container/VM itself, and I have no scanning, no ha, no permissions. I could use GitHub for everything maybe but who knows if they don’t jack up their prices? I’m also not confident about putting all my eggs in that basket. I could use quay, but that ain’t cheaper…

Nothing at all to do with Horse Creek or Intel Foundry Services as a chip-making service.

No one is shipping really high performance RISC-V yet because it takes 3 or 4 years from project start to having working silicon and it is less than four years since the initial RV{32,64}GC ISAs were frozen and ratified in July 2019.

Lots more stuff extremely important for mobile to servers to supercomputers was ratified in November 2021, including the Vector ISA, cache control instructions, hypervisor spec, bit manipulation instructions (clz, popcount and things like that), 16 bit FP, crypto in scalar registers (SHA, AES), PAUSE instruction, page-based physical memory attributes (e.g. cacheable or not).

That's less than a year and a half ago.

Cores and chips are in the pipeline, being made by credible people who WILL make what they say they will, but it all takes time.

Meantime, the THead C910 core -- first announced in July 2019 -- which is roughly equivalent to the ARM A73 or A73 was available (as usually happens) on an expensive dev board in late 2021 and is coming out in quad core 2.5 GHz form on a $99 board in April (probably). SOPHGO have recently shown a board with the SG2042 chip with 64 C910 cores running at 2.0 GHz. I expect to have access to one of these boards shortly.

Of course these boards, using cores designed in 2019, use the RISC-V specs that were available in 2019, including an early draft (0.7.1) version of the Vector extension which is very similar to but incompatible with the eventual 1.0 ratified in November 2021. Not completely incompatible -- common byte-oriented functions such as memcpy, memcmp, strlen, strcpy, strcmp etc are binary compatible between 0.7.1 and 1.0, and most other things are easy, trivial, modifications. Much much easier than converting between AVX and NEON or between SVE and RISC-V V.

Expect expensive low production volume chips and boards with RVV 1.0 next year, and cheap mass production ones in 2026.

That's how the chip industry rolls. There is a very long production process. But these things are in the pipeline, they are coming, we know what they will do when they get here, and there is virtually zero chance that they won't eventuate.

The economic definition of "legal tender" is sometimes obscured in casual conversation.

It isn't "issued by a sovereign state" - that's "fiat" but rather "used for paying taxes." And sometimes, like in the US, debts ("all debts foreign and domestic").

Certainly it has to vary among countries of which I am ignorant, but generally in the Anglosphere it is debts, not payments, that trigger the definition of "legal tender."
