If code with a license, say GPL, goes out somewhere else, by someone else (and therefore I don't have the right to change the license) and then I fork it, as per the license I keep the license and put it on github, and Github violates that license, aren't they violating the law? Don't they then have to remove that code?

If that's the case then in that scenario the license supersedes the ToS right?

Now imagine this: I write some code, license it, but don't publish it yet. It's licensed. Then I upload it to github. Does the license supersede the ToS? Doesn't github have to remove the code as a ToS violation? What if I show my roommate the licensed code first, does that count as publishing?

The whole thing is absurd on it's face. All code is licensed before it ever goes on github. The license always supersedes the ToS. All licenses violate the ToS. All code on github should be removed by Microsoft for ToS violations or because Microsoft cannot abide their licenses. Their ToS is fucking illegal.
I'm aware, but still in the small circle of people I asked to, they all envisioned that over a computer, lol
The scooters are parked like that by the companies themselves too, at least where I live. Why would they penalize people for doing the same?
I think mono.org is still going
Ban rental e-scooters, not rental e-bike
> So poorly parked

Cars are well parked in Paris but way more bulky and streets are unpleasant and dangerous because of them :

I just bought a Lenovo Ideapad from Costco for about $500. The last time I bought a computer preloaded with Windows was about a decade ago. My experience so far:

I turn it on, there's a license agreement. Actually, there's two. One is from Microsoft, and it's rather long but I guess it's about par for the course.

Then there's the Lenovo license agreement, which is actually a bunch of other license agreements concatenated together, for services I might or might not even want. I don't know how long it is, but I began to suspect it might be tied with the Old Testament. Which you're theoretically supposed to read in a tiny box and agree to, but if anyone were to actually attempt to read every word they'd better clear their calendar for maybe the next couple weeks.

Next Windows wanted me to sign up for a Microsoft account. There's no obvious way around it, but fortunately a bit of googling directed me to a workaround that lets you create just a local account by disabling the network interface at the right time.

When I finally boot the machine up, the default wallpaper is a Red Bull ad.

I've had similar experiences buying a Roku (sorry, we won't let you use this device or access an account you already pay for separately unless you provide your credit card and tell us, for some reason, whether or not you have a penis) and a Samsung tablet (to use this device, you must agree that you have no privacy whatsoever). The people running these companies seem incapable of feeling shame.

I guess I'll crawl back into my cave and keep using Linux for the foreseeable future.
Yes, but the comment you are responding too notes, that city streets are not stretchable, so you cannot add full-sized lanes for everyone's new toy.
Why don't the alternative projects just copy the good old github interface instead of starting from a bad scratch, scaring the transitioning devs off?

> As long as western companies can’t do unrestricted business in China, neither should Chinese companies be able here.

Well, they can't and they don't. They have to follow the local laws.

Facebook, for example, doesn't operate in China because Facebook made the deliberate decision that they don't want to follow the same laws Chinese companies have to follow. Their comment was this: “We need to figure out a solution that is in line with our principles and what we want to do, and in line with the laws there, or else it’s not going to happen. Right now, there isn’t an intersection.”
You shouldn't have to though, they have a responsibility all their own to check that they have the rights regarding someone else's copyright before they do what they want to do, rather than to do it anyway and then to wait for the rights holder to come to them.

Copyright isn't 'opt in'.
This post assumes that there is consensus around a formal definition of being declarative. This is hardly the case as highlighted by Robert Harper, an academic recognized for his work in the field of programming formalization
, in his essay "What, If Anything, Is A Declarative Language?" [1].

Stats show that escooters don't even curb emissions, as the people who use them are pedestrians who would've walked anyway.
In the same country: overseas students from China make death threats to fellow students they consider Chinese if they hold inconvenient views, with no consequences (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29593320)
Not really sure what you mean.
Alledgedly a HTML tree is declarative but sibling elemznts are ordered.

You can't actually reorder these statements and expect the same UI tree.

Usually, declarative is built upon imperative and simply means that implementation details have been abstracted enough to the point that we can build the program by describing its structure and it will build itself.
As opposed as defining the build steps (they are predefined if you will).
Going open source and then complaining about getting cloned and lack of reciprocity is sort of ... naive? It's what you signed up for.

Prusa printers are much too expensive for the quality they have (as compared to the market). And the company hasn't even been the "cutting edge" innovator for a long time, at least substantively. They probably learn as much as they give, from all those Chinese "clones" that might as well be open source because they aren't patented.
> Britannica has yet to topple the Chinese political system, and ChatGPT will not succeed either

Text versus images? China’s urban elite are comfortable. They live a first-world life. China is a middle economy because the fruits of its gains haven’t reached the periphery. I can see Beijing being fearful of visual satire that can be perceived by a farmer in a way that written text, particularly English text, isn’t an issue.
Just looked up his bio :

After Leap Motion, Holz started wondering about what the future would look like, and what people would need in this uncertain future.

He came up for 3 pillars for what he thought would be the most important: reflection, imagination, and coordination.

Looks like he tramples on his own pillars.
> This is such a non-statement

Its not a statement, its a set of statements that compose a characterization, which is something commonly done by scientists, engineers, and rational people to communicate specific descriptions so they can be recognized again by others, this is primarily done when common words are not available to match specific common meanings in communications.

> can fill in with the ideology that they choose to categorize in this way

You'll have to further clarify what you mean, there are two potential meanings embedded with that single statement, and you've failed to communicate which one that is, it looks to me like you've misunderstood this as some ideology akin to philosophy such as consequentialism when its a description of behavior.

A characterization is just a description of the distinctive nature, elements, features, or composition of someone or something specific, in this case behavior. Behavior that leaves at least one party with a negative outcome while also negatively impacting all or most future outcomes related to that party.

Its important to understand and convey the correct and rational meaning of words, as you said many groups seek to corrupt language to prevent communication, to distract, disorient, and create disunity using a whole host of sordid and malign influence tactics to cause distorted reflected appraisal.

> Both people... and those that disagree with them.

We will not be going off into the weeds, talking about potentially irrational beliefs of others, or getting bogged down in unrelated controversial narratives as those only serve disunity and chaos.

You may also want to review the actual definition and elements of fascism. Regardless, what you mention here has no relevance to the current discussion.
The author of the initial article also lives in a rural area though.
Where there is proper infrastructure this works relatively okay. Where there is no infrastructure scooters take the pedastrian way as roads are dangerous.
How does that justify e-scooters compared to, say, decent bike lanes and better infrastructure planning?

Everyone is crying Corporate Greed in here. And, I can understand why. But, here’s another perspective based on listening to David Holz answer all kinds of questions from random users for four hours a week for over a year during Midjourney’s “Office Hours”.

AFAICT, Midjourney has no shareholders and David Holz is the farthest thing from a slick CEO. He’s a big dreamer hippie dork. He made all the money he cares to have from the sale of his previous company and now just wants to work on fun research projects. The goal of Midjourney is to bring creative power to as many people as possible.

Whenever politics or other controversial topics come up, the MJ teams tries to stay out of it. They just want a welcoming space for all sorts of people to collaborate and create. Lots of people complain that they don’t allow porn. But, as a result, a millions of people who are not just horny teenage boys enjoy hanging out on the server sharing and discussing art that is not just pics of sexy women all day every day. Looking at you, unending parade of unfathomly huge boobs on https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=%23StableDiffusion

David seems to think that since ridiculing politicians in China is taboo, having people ridicule Xi on MJ would make it unwelcoming to people in China. He wants them to feel comfortable collaborating with people all over the world on MJ. So, prompting Xi is blocked. That’s all there is to it.
Some WiFi drivers are still not mainlined, so yeah, depending on the exact model, a brand new laptop may not have WiFi, regardless of distribution. I just bought one like that. It sucks.

All I have to do now is rebuild the driver after an update. "No Biggie"
One possible problem is if Copilot gets good enough that you can rather easily sidestep GPL (or any other license) by having Copilot implement functionality X for you instead of using a license-bound library providing X. Not only may this be questionable regarding the license, but it would also be tend to reduce contributions to the library which otherwise would have been used.
Usually I'd agree, but I wouldn't call the Kottke post (The blog that just had it's 25th birthday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35163193) blog spam, even if just for the fact that it's more pleasant to read than the scientificamerican.com version with ads, cookie banners and newsletter signup modals.
Sure, but spectrum isn't infinite, at some point it is maxed out, especially the sat-to-sat links, which effectively halve the available bandwidth (assuming just one hop).
You need beta access to do that, but you can also use Langchain, it will automatically figure out how to interact with any API that has a OpenAPI yaml spec.
> They reduce car usage which is better for both pedestrians and car users.

Most stats show that they don't reduce car usage, the people using them aren't people that give up cars, but people that give up on walking or taking public transport.
Firefly returns "One or more words violate Firefly user guidelines. Please edit and try again." with a picture of a very cute monkey. However, Xi Jinping riding a bike works just fine, although, the results look nothing at all like Xi Jinping riding a bike.
Not given back to the original authors, but given to the users.
There is indeed a problem of transparency right now. Companies afaik did not release the complete training data set. Might even be intentionally, because they do not want to risk, that they trained it on stuff they should not have had, without building in license and attribution into the output of their models. Or it might be, that they know that to be a fact.

I can only hope, that lawmakers hurry to catch up with reality and impose transparency obligations for AI models.
The MIT No Attribution licence https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit-0/ doesn't require an attribution.

you mean it's a great example of how something real can become a concept?

Like we say "it was a bloody Sunday" to generically mean a massacre.

"Lingua franca" was a language, did you know that?

> That phrase is as English as the word tomato today.

It has been at least since the XI century. Long before tomatoes were a thing in England.

> English is the most international language in the world

Which English?

Because British and American English aren't.

And probably right now Mandarin Chinese is even more business oriented than English.
That would be correct! If you need a full windows os to test updates with, I’d recommend a standard vm.
LLMs suck at deduction and factual reasoning. How are they reasoning engines?
> Culture is defined by people, not some sacred thing that needs to be preserved.

Are these two mutually exclusive?
True, but it’s not like there is any parity between the laws. China now is not the China of twenty years ago.
I was like this, always messing around with Windows 95, 2000, XP. Before that I "hacked" autoexe.bat on Dos. Then, in University (2003-ish?) a friend gave me a set of Mandrake CDs. A new world opened up, sleepless nights, Slackware, Gentoo, compiling Kernels, setting up my first Webserver, bricking the family modem to try to show it to friends (who somehow didn't see it on the address I sent them (192.168.1.2 or something ;)).
You can get away with more in China. On the small scale, things like faking beer (seriously...), scamming people, and on the bigger scale as well.
This is the reason I'm running Ameliorated Windows 10. I cannot vouch for the recently posted Ameliorated 11 builder, though I hope to test it out the next time I set up a new computer.
Honestly this is my main problem with TikTok. I know Meta and Google spy just as much as TikTok. However it is problematic that Chinese app companies have full access to Western markets while the reverse is severely limited.

no, open source isn't about practically giving up your rights, its about restricting use of your code and software in exactly such a way that it gives every user as much freedom as possible.
Sure, I’ve been aware of that since the 80s when a generation of comics cut their teeth mercilessly satirising Margaret Thatcher here in the uk. I grew up on it. Had zero political effect whatsoever, but it’s still a valuable and important free speech right.
> MacOS is better, but it still very annoying to deal with in a lot of ways. Apple are certainly set on degrading the user experience and in general neglect much needed feature additions.

Could you elaborate?
I mean, if someone uploads a repo that contains proprietary code that also contains CI actions from the proprietary codebase, formatted the same as github actions, they're going to run those actions under the assumption that they are allowed to (even though they aren't, because it means they're running proprietary code). It's all automated. The person uploading the proprietary code would be the one infringing in that case.
in almost any election in every European country the voter presence is 50% or below. I think that's what the comment was about... is just a small % of people that participate in voting and even smaller percentage that votes for the winner.
So it'll be unnecessarily dangerous for just 10 years?

No, I don't think $200 phones are getting satellite connectivity.
Depends on the hardware. A desktop PC can definitely have better hardware/power/cooling.

But, yes, the Steam Deck is an awesome linux gaming computer. Even better than the hardware itself, I think the Steam Deck is a _huge_ driver of Valve to improve Proton, so in a lot of ways the Steam Deck is driving forward linux desktop gaming too.
How many MB per second is this?

I was inserting data at 5MB/s using MySQL and C++ some years ago.

MySQL was the bottleneck, the C++ part could potentially run many times faster.
Surely you've heard of Australia?

This paper discusses minority governments in Australia between 1989 and 2009, a period of two decades in which there have been at least ten examples of this political phenomenon in the Australian States and Territories.

https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/researchpapers/Pages/minor...

If I was paying any attention at all recently it was on the fact that we've had at least a few minority governments since 2009 also.

Finland is having a minority government now too:

With all of the votes counted on Sunday, the right-wing National Coalition party (NCP) won 20.8% of the vote, with the populist, nation-first Finns party scoring 20.1%. Marin’s SDP took 19.9% of the vote. Voter turnout was 71.9%.

Prusa is struggling with producing Chinese 3D printers outside China...

Because they really aren't that much better than Artillery or Creality (and probably others), just at double the price, usually.
Not without problems, but still miles better than toting your car through a city centre.
> David seems to think that since ridiculing politicians in China is taboo, having people ridicule Xi on MJ would make it unwelcoming to people in China.

It's taboo because a dictator forbids it. The people have nothing to do with it
And a few tens of thousands of dollars of revenue per vehicle adds up to billions.
Yeah and it's like, nonsensical for the service: if you are working in open source, the reality is that a lot of the time you are working with software you don't own. I develop a lot of software, and the vast majority of it was open source... but I've only ever put two projects of mine on GitHub (and one only because I was working with some other people and I essentially got outvoted ;P). And yet, if you search for my code, I'm sure you can find almost all of it on GitHub, because it was open source and other people wanted to be able to edit it or even merely redistribute it... which I'd have said is there right, but I guess not if supposedly that overrides the license on the software? Or like, if this were the case, how would one expect some large/old open source project with a ton of prior contributions--which is normally fine as everyone has the same rights under the license and so you just all mix your code together and are happy: you don't actually need some central organization with ownership until you want to change the license (which is something many people explicitly don't want to ever happen)--to be hosted on GitHub? Even simpler: most of Google's code is open source--such as the Android Open Source Project, or Chromium--but they don't host it officially on GitHub... I guess it isn't OK for anyone to work on this stuff on GitHub either, right?
There are other companies doing similar BCIs and rather successfully. There is a pretty good understanding of what such interfaces can do because it has already been tried in humans - see what is being done with people who have severe epilepsy, for example.

The innovation of Neuralink is not the idea of BCI itself nor the benefits it can bring - that's old news. Neuralink is about the surgery procedure and bringing it to mass market.
Because 0.01% of people would actually use this.
Bowing to foreign authoritarian censorship is okay if it’s done for a rich man’s convenience? What a shitshow begging for regulation.
Oh I remember that. I found it hilarious when so many of my Swedish (female) friends posted angrily about the racism in USA and that we are better than this.

The same people went to the same engineering uni as me, which had a lot of middle eastern and east Asian classmates that they couldn't give a single fuck about how they subtly mistreated them.

US focus also serves as a convenient denial of our own daily misdeeds here. I'm still to this day shocked to meet a lot of (continental) Europeans that think (systematic) racism is a US thing, and can't possibly be happening here.
I don't know about OP but they're significantly more expensive for me (non-US; Asia) than any other offerings, that I feel like I'm being scammed. That with more subscriptions for anything I might want to use (Spotify/Netflix/Prime) just make it kind of a pinch, and so for a lot of people in my country.

Edit:
for ex: the $799 iPad pro costs an equivalent of $994.35 in India.

Thankfully we have Stable Diffusion.
Pulumi does not generate a declarative manifest, your infrastructure program runs at the same time as the engine which applies resource operations. This allows you to use API calls, sleeps, and so on. It's a much more powerful model, and lets you use arbitrary computations between resources, using the output state of one to make an API call or some side effect, and plumb the result of that into the input of another resource.

Full disclosure: I'm at Pulumi.
If someone were to break Microsoft licensing terms and give me a copy of windows code

Then if I read that and built my own understanding

Then if I used that knowledge to implement my own version of windows that was compatible with Microsoft’s and distributed it under my own license

Would that be legal?

WINE etc are built in clean room environments for good reasons.

This poses a false dichotomy where you're either riding a car, or littering the streets with rental e-scooters. In practice, this isn't the case. It's fairly well documented e-scooters aren't replacing car rides, but pedestrian traffic.
