> This is what today's IP oligopolists would have happen to the bulk of culture. I find it exceedingly unlikely that all IP will be maintained by the owner for the life of the author plus 70 years. We know there are gobs of cultural artifacts from as recently as the 80s (videos, games, etc.) that are permanently lost.

> Without short copyright terms and the encouragement of independent archivalists, we ensure most cultural artifacts will be lost to time.

Firstly, copyright doesn't have anything do with the problem outlined in the OP, that 75% of "golden age" silent movies have been lost. The reason it identifies is that these films were "few, fragile, flammable" and that "almost no one thought they were worth saving." Copies weren't going to magically appear: if they were fragile, expensive to produce, and viewed as ephemeral nothing short of some kind of expensive government mandate would have led to much higher preservation rates. Such a mandate would not happen unless there was a contemporary interest in preservation, which there wasn't.

Secondly, running an archive isn't free. Short copyright terms might actually lead to less preservation, since that would make the creator be even less motivated to preserve the work for the long term. I'm not sure what you mean by "independent archivalists," but if it's data hoarders (individuals or collectively) that's not really going to cut it. The data on someone's hard drive array is very unlikely live past its owner, it will be almost certainly junked by the heirs to the estate. Preservation really requires an institution.
> ETH might not be a security, but staking ETH is almost definitely one.

Ok, so if ETH isn't a security and staking ETH is a security, then the SEC should be able to provide a registration service for that, right? That's the problem, they can't seem to manage to do that.

> Dollars and orange trees aren't securities, but as soon as I start 'staking' dollars and orange trees into financial instruments which earn rewards, it becomes a security.

Sorry, you lost me on that one.

He should have had a concise answer and acted a bit less flustered then. It was a yes/no question to a professional.
Nothing would stop her from continuing to create art the human way. The most intrinsically motivated will certainly do so.

But it's only half the story. Besides the process of creating art in itself being rewarding, the other rewarding part should be how other people relate to it.

One might have trained themselves for thousands of hours and this will be reflected in the output. Most people suck at art thus the skill, dedication and creativity are recognized as such. This system has merit and scarcity.

The new system has no merit as any fool can type in a few words. Nor does it have scarcity which means an overabundance of output. Both contribute to a lost sense of meaning in creating and even consuming art.

If tomorrow we will all be as fast as the fastest runner, running will become quite pointless. There is no reward or recognition for running fast. In fact, you can't even call it fast anymore, as anybody can do it.
I wonder about statistics for hub vs pairs

Airlines line Turkish seem to do well, with their shinny new super hub in Istanbul.

There can only be so much pair to pair flight, so we will always have some hub airlines.

I took Nice to Manila last year. Friends of mines flew from random town in France to Abu Dhabi, through Istanbul.
On my flight to Istanbul, I talked to passengers going to a random town in Egypt for diving & friends holiday.

And I also saw students (or at least young ppl) going to Japan on my flight. A stopover probably made the flight more fuel economic, hence cheaper, which is great for a lot of flyers.

I was also glad to stop midflight to wait at the warm water fountain with Chinese ppl (who were wondering why a gringo was having a warm glass of water), to stretch my legs, and to change and everything.
More than 10 hours of a single flight is unbearable.

I have no doubt that city pairs flights are hotter atm, and you will always have flights between your home city and trendy destinations like the famous Montréal or the infamous USA from now on.

But for all of these reasons and more, I don't believe hub airlines are doomed.
Public transit isn't as good, wildfires, and lack of rain means whatever is in the air lingers for longer.
The difference between some completely random person taking a picture and your circle of friends is that it's very unlikely for the former to reach anyone you know, where as with the latter it's a guarantee.
> I believe I saw a lot more than you did;

Argument from authority.

> are you asserting that the 2 and a half people on the Mac team in 1980 are the only ones who could identify a prototype?

No, my assertion is Apple kept a tight lid and had a culture of secrecy even dating back to the development of Macintosh, and if anyone in management caught a sniff that Raskin was showing you his prototype, he would have been summarily fired, and the Mac would never have been. So while it is possible, and I do actually believe you, it also seems unlikely and specious that Raskin, a serious and intelligent man, would risk his livelihood and his brainchild to show off for a developer of modem software. You two must have been pretty tight.

Or, to quote the Wikipedia article directly:

> The A380's wings are sized for a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) over 650 tonnes to accommodate these [larger] future versions, albeit with some internal strengthening required on the A380F freighter. The optimal wingspan for this weight is about 90 m (300 ft), but airport restrictions have limited it to less than 80 m (260 ft), thereby lowering the aspect ratio to 7.8 which reduces fuel efficiency by about 10% and increases operating costs a few percent, given that fuel costs constitute about 50% of the cost of long-haul aeroplane operation.

Funnily, what I've seen most frequently with the JVM is most optimizations are on the order of "You should have used a HashSet here, not a List that you keep sorting and removing duplicates from!"

The majority of performance issues I've ran into aren't "Oh, I need just the right structure of code to make things go fast" but rather "I used a Map<String, Object> instead of a PoJo, why is my code slow?"

I think a big problem is the "don't prematurely optimize" has been taken to mean "never think about how your algorithm will perform". It allows someone to write an n^2 or n^3 algorithm when the n algorithm is just as readable (usually moreso!)

Surely that much data has value somewhere, and a marketplace can be formed where decaying film on one side is auctioned to AI training data stores on the other. Older material is more valuable since it starts human measurement earlier, and so can predict longer-term shifts.

As far as I understand this is true. I like to think about it like this: there is some magic formula f(x)=? that perfectly maps our inputs to our outputs (e.g. image captions to images, or input texts to longer input texts), but we don't know how to find it. So we build a space with incredibly many dimensions, and we learn some mapping in this space, which is hopefully very close to the magic formula.

Our brains fundamentally work in a similar way, in that there are mappings from inputs to outputs through our senses and our nervous system, and we can literally determine neural circuits in mammalian brains through topological analysis of this magical function![0]

But it seems like they aren’t just storing the majority opinion, or that opinions couldn’t be influenced from other related areas. I am assuming it’s a harder problem to only select for the majority at the exclusion of else vs sampling it all.

With prompting maybe we could tease out the minority views, but I could also see it just confidently making shit up to a higher degree.

It might be that knowledge of the past is necessary but not sufficient to avoid repeating previous mistakes.

Anecdotally, I haven't noticed too much pain in crafting cross-platform scripts in PowerShell 7+. Most of the platform differences I've seen in PowerShell are at the "module level" (library of "commands/cmdlets") and most commands that are in platform-specific modules generally are pretty obvious that they are platform-specific modules. A lot of modules are cross-platform.

The biggest shift is learning to trust PowerShell commands/cmdlets and operators over platform-specific binaries like awk/sed/grep and so forth. A lot of those tools and manipulation steps can be done with native PowerShell commands/cmdlets/operators, but it's definitely a journey to thinking in PowerShell terms (that the linked repo looks like it can help with) and using/trusting its object-based tools, especially if you are used to the extended Linux shell text manipulation tool chain as "conversion" between the two paradigms isn't always straightforward.

I got a 99 USD Chromebook, AArch64 based, and I think it's amazing. It's so underpowered that it's incapable of consuming more than about 4W of power even at 100% CPU, which is a major benefit if you care about the power consumption, battery life, and being able to use the laptop on your lap.

It has better battery life than latest Apple M1/M2 products that cost 10x+ as much! Even if you enable the newest "Low power mode", because it's effectively still a performance-optimised mode by Apple.
We do consider both of those sets to be the same size - for infinite sets, size equality means being able to uniquely put a members from one set in correspondence with members I n another. In your example, n -> 2n provides a unique mapping so the sets are equal size (cardinality)

BRICS is not some counter balance to the US petro dollar. It is at best a coffee claque of countries with the most currency controls of any major economies and at worse a Chinese op to make the yuan more powerful. But the problem is that none of the BRICS nations want a market currency! They want a less dominant USD (which I personally think is understandable but short sighted) but they haven’t offered a viable alternative.

That is to say they each want their own currency to be as valuable as USD but haven’t done the things it would take to make that happen.

I don’t think it is “fair” that the USD is dominant but I think that oil settlement in other currencies is much less detrimental to USD than many people think. Again, if you can settle oil in your currency, you’ve effectively put it in competition with USD. The Chinese government has been fighting that outcome for as long as there has been modern Chinese currency, and frankly every other currency besides INR doesn’t matter for this conversation and INR also has been very controlled.

People seem to have it backwards. Global trade attaches to liberal currencies because that’s good for global trade. The US has the most liberal currency of all time (and the most liberal currency currently even with Russian sanctions) and that makes it the petro currency. If the yuan or the rupee liberalize enough to take over the petro trade then there won’t be much impact on usd but if they don’t then market forces will hurt them more than the US.

The thing that might cause a USD fall is a default on usd debt or the us becoming more conservative on their currency controls but there is so far to go on that compared to their comps it’s hard to extrapolate.

I don’t have opinions on Putins desires, it’s outside of my understanding. But picking the Chinese in a relationship where they have more powers than the previous relationship with Europe seems crazy to me. But international politics is not my sphere.

Not all infinities can be indexed.

Take all the real numbers between 0 and 1, for example. If you pick one and call it N, there's an infinite quantity of real numbers between 0 and N and between N and 1. Therefore it's impossible to assign an index to N.

Now take rational numbers, which are a subset of real numbers. There's an infinite number of those between 0 and 1 as well, but because it's a subset, there are "fewer" of them.

I've seen a lot of discussion about key aspects of LLMs like ML (research, architecture), Infrastructure (GPUs, Cloud), and Product (ChatGPT et al) but not much on the data engineering side.

What is the difference between web scraping and crawling? They are not simply indexing websites, these systems must be extracting and storing vasts amount of data from those crawled sites (hence Reddit, Twitter, etc calling foul). Do these systems rely on tons of proxy IPs?

There's probably not too much going on after ingestion beyond storing all this data as text or image in an optimal format for the training system(s) to use.

Macros tickle a certain peculiar part of my brain. I have this idea of making a lisp that at its core is just some static single assignment language, or some other type of IR. And then all the traditional control flow features would be implemented using macros. You could even implement optimization passes as macros. I haven’t been brave enough to actually try it, but I imagine if I did I would need some more powerful macro features like this.

Another commenter mentioned T is teslas, seems like the abbreviation for a ton depends on which ton you are talking about (wikipedia lists several and not all of them are mass/weight!).

From a conversion the article uses I believe they are using the metric ton (aka megagram) which abbreviates to the lower case t. The article you reference does not seem to ever abbreviate 'ton' and I suspect that may have been done intentionally to avoid running into this issue? Its what I would have done, anyway.

I don't think this impacts the readability of your comment I just thought it was a shame that the other comment didnt go all the way and attempt to describe correct useage.

> Take the infinities of all numbers > 0 and then all even numbers > 0.

Define your number first, then we'll work it out from there. From the looks of it, you are considering the integers.

> So you have

> 1,2,3,4,5,6,.... 2,4,6,8,........

> Why can't we just consider both infinities to be the same size (they go on forever), but the item in a given position simply differs.

These sets have the same size. Two sets have the same size if you can find a function from one to the other which is bijective meaning if two sets match exactly element for element(elements don't have to be the same ones), they have the same size. For example, the sets {1, 2, 3} and {a, b, c} have the same size because we can match 1 to a, 2 to b and 3 to c. Or we can match 1 to c, 2 to a and 3 to b. So these two "matching" examples constitute two bijective functions. Going back to your example, the function f from {1,2,3,4,5,6,....} to {2,4,6,8,........} given by f(x) = 2x for x in {1,2,3,4,5,6,....} is bijective and therefore lines up the two sets in one to one correspondence. To prove f is bijective, we can find the inverse for f, multiply f and its inverse and get an identity or show f is surjective and injective. These are slightly technical, but not too bad. Any intro to discrete math textbook contains this material.

A good point, and I've been puzzled by how hard this split in characters is between individuals.

I know several people that without external force (work, duty) would have absolutely no idea what to do with themselves. Even their free time they organize around work-like chores or spend it on passive media.

These people seem to lack any sense of wonder, of curiosity or exploration. And it seems a permanent and fixed state. This is who they are. You can't change it.

I would not worry about this problem though because surely in the hypothetical situation of no commercial work, there's plenty of other work we can make up.
