LLMs still violate MIT license's attribution requirement
Specialization in one area of information can be kind of rewarding. I like commodity news (oil, food, minerals, water, etc.) and tech manufacturing so I try to keep up on those areas. Mainstream media isn't really that great for this, in comparison to speciality business journals, various websites, government reports and so on.

Focusing on one area gives you a 'window on reality', but it's going to be limited, i.e. I really don't know what to think about all the culture war news, or general finance that's not specifically related to commodities and manufacturing, or anything in the 'true crime' world, or much in the way of electoral politics, geopolitics, etc. Still, knowing something reliable about how droughts and floods have affected rice production in China and why rice prices are rising makes me feel like I have at least some marginal grasp on what's going on in the real world.

Just spitballing a high-level implementation:

1. Color correct for the CMYK printing process

2. Load image as a pixel matrix

3. Unwrap pixel matrix into a pixel vector

4. Convert the pixel vector to HSV representation

5. Group each pixel into a palette slot by plugging the H/S dimensions into K-means with 32 as the target (ignoring L for clustering to account for scanlines/flicker)

6. For each palette slot, calculate the "true" HSV value by taking the group's median H/S values and the mean V value

7. Convert HSV representation to 12-bit RGB colorspace
> By the way, I'm in my period, I'm impure. I can't Eid Mubarak :(

Hey, I'm having a hard time finding a reference for this. Can you source this claim that someone on their period can't celebrate Eid al-Fitr?
My local mosque (and many others in the area) use calculations, but my mom's mosque just a few cities away uses moon sighting. We ended up starting and ending Ramadan at the same time but there was uncertainty on her part until last night.

At the end of the day you just follow whatever mosque you go to. If you want to follow moonsighting but your mosque does calculation, where do you go to celebrate Eid if the days differ?

Personally I wouldn't go to a mosque that uses moonsighting because I like predictability. My boss is Muslim so she would understand but it's still annoying for the company if I just went "I'm off tomorrow byeee" the night before.

I imagine some Muslim countries differ in the same way (some use calc some use sighting), though I can't say off the top of my head which countries use calculation.
Every year we find out climate change is worse than expected and accelerating faster than expected.

I'm not saying this as a way to minimize these findings but rather to point out that we should expect things to get worse.

Juul is useful if you want to switch from smoking to vaping because the high percentage of nicotine makes it easy. But for the same reason, it's incredibly addictive. Also difficult to stop by tapering down because low nicotine percentage juul pods don't exist.

It's cool but replacing bash is a massive hurdle. I only ever begrudgingly write shell scripts when I need portability. Otherwise I quickly reach for python. The shells purpose to me is to be able to run on as many devices as possible, which for us is our Linux/mac/windows (thru WSL or got bash) dev machines and our CI system. Having to install anything in order to run a shell script is a big minus to our adoption. This has been true for all the shells I've looked at like Oil.
What Happens When You Kill Your King
I disagree. The industry is a big emitter of co2 but they obly respond to demand from consumer. The oil industry would not pollute as much if nobody was driving a car or flying. The meat industry would not pollute as much if we weren't eating as much meat. It's a society problem but unfortunately unless you force people to change their habits I don't see this changing.
The truth is more depressing - it isn't by design at all, it's by default- we ignore complex problems until they are existential threats. It's not a problem unique to modern society, it's just that our problems are much bigger now and approach faster. Our monkey brains and monkey social systems aren't equipped to handle these sorts of problems well.
Fresh water melt-off isn't about rising sea levels, at least not in the short term, it's about the shutdown of ocean circulation.

The repercussions are basically an increase in warming and a decrease in sea-life. The effects of these will be more temperamental weather, and less fish to eat.

Mechanism: > The conveyor is driven by the descent of cold, salty water to the ocean floor in just two places: in the far North Atlantic near Greenland and in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. In both regions, the mechanism is the same. In cold polar conditions, large volumes of water freeze. The salt in the water is not incorporated into the ice. It remains in the residual liquid water, which grows ever saltier. The saltier water becomes, the denser it becomes. So the residue is heavier than surrounding water and eventually sinks to the ocean floor.

Consequence: > If there was no new deep water plunging to the ocean depths, however, there would be nothing to bring the nutrients back to the surface. Instead, the waters of the deep ocean would accumulate nutrients and become stagnant, while the supply of nutrients to sustain marine life at the surface would be drastically reduced, says one of the paper’s co-authors, Adele Morrison of the Australian National University. Marine ecosystems could collapse. This would not happen instantly. It might take centuries, but once in train could not be prevented.

Consequence: > A shutdown would also accelerate global warming, says Rahmstorf. “The deep-water formation sites are conduits where carbon dioxide is brought down to the ocean abyss, where it is locked away safely from the atmosphere for centuries [and] currently helps slow down global warming. However, this mechanism is set to be weakened.” The IPCC estimates that the oceans altogether capture a quarter of our CO2 emissions, much of it through deep-water formation.

> I see a lot of people claiming that AI is producing code they've written verbatim, but sometimes I wonder if everyone just writes certain things the same way. For the above rangeCheck function, there isn't much opportunity for the individual programmer to be creative.

This point is absolutely going to come up in any lawsuits; because the law does sometimes examine how much creativity there is available in a field before making a determination (Oracle v Google comes to mind). If you can show that there are very, very few reasonable ways to accomplish a goal, and said goal is otherwise not patented or prohibited, it's either not copyrightable or Fair Use, take your pick.

This even applies under the interoperability section of the DMCA and similar laws for huge projects. Assuming that ReactOS, for example, is actually completely clean-room; that would be protected despite having the same API names and, likely, a lot of similar code implementing most of the most basic APIs.
Thanks to very-forgiving laws on things like how accurate advertising has to be, and tolerance for pages and pages of legal terms required to engage in so many common activities, in the US the average citizen has so much to worry about just in terms of "am I going to get ripped off if I buy this / sign this contract" that there's gonna be even less available mental energy or care to give to "is this person making sense in their interpretation of the news" and such.
Is posting code to StackOverflow a copyright violation?
It seems to me that there's a natural tension in emerging fields of science and engineering between establishing clear guidelines and regulations early on to minimize harms, or instead allowing practitioners to experiment, tinker, build and create outcomes that may be potentially harmful.

What are some frameworks for how to think about navigating this tension in emerging scientific or engineering fields?

Some ones I'm mulling over:

1. Rate of innovation: In rapidly evolving fields, imposing strict regulations too early can hinder innovation and progress. In such cases, it might be better to minimize restrictions early on to allow practitioners to explore new ideas. Then, as the field matures, regulations and standards can be gradually introduced.

2. Adaptive regulation: Implement a flexible regulatory framework that can be updated as new information becomes available.

3. Self-regulation: In some cases, maybe we should expect and encourage the industry to use self-regulation via developing guidelines and codes of conduct. This may be one way to try and strike a balance between responsible innovation while minimizing bureaucratic obstacles.

What do others think?
There’s thinly-veiled versions of that all over this site now, but yes, that’s the point of all the ideological dressing. Mostly, it takes the form of “it’s impossible to stop progress now, how dare these Luddites stand in the way of free energy and curing every disease” etc

Everything can already be tracked via crypto, that procedure of attributing a name to it just makes the process easier.

Additionally, everything you do buy is already tracked. Even with cash.

But unlike naysayers, these things already encroaching on our lives gives us even more reason to push for stronger E2E support as a default. Assuming it's done properly, and not "I just need to ask Google for the keys".
Humans already launder GPL code by using it to learn and then producing code based on what they learned. We're very close to LLMs doing the same thing. Maybe there's some fundamental difference between humans doing that and humans programming machines to do it, but I can't see it.

I don't know how GPL (or copyright in general) can survive in the long run with these technologies.

I think the overwhelming majority of people are realizing a lot of the rhetoric is just cynical lies at this point.

Consider the recent report [1] that only 25% of people don't think the media is deliberately misleading them - 50% think they are, 25% are undecided. The implications of that cannot be overstated, especially as the media has increasingly become little more than a proxy for the official position of the day.

Well hardware and parameter count are scaling exponentially, so it seems very feasible that it could happen very soon. Of course it's possible that we'll hit a wall somewhere but it seems that just scaling current models up could be enough to get to the point where they can self-improve or gain more compute for themselves
Living off 20k a year in a Hcol, where these salaries primarily occur, is next to impossible. Rent alone anywhere in SF area, for example San Jose, is 2k at a bare minimum for a 1BR, or 3k for a 2BR split between a roommate at 1.5k each. That means rent is 18k-24k, not to mention other living expenses (car, utilities, food, travel to visit family, etc.)
That silly. There are so many other, better reasons to destroy Miller beer.
Whatever a single person does is except for a few cases negligible. The problems arise when a lot of people buy manufactured goods without regard for the consequences. The problems arise when a lot of people consume meat and thus create a huge demand for it. Or think that their own house in some sprawling suburb was always their dream and now they require a car too, because of poor public transport.

People vote for all this with their life choices, by what they consume and literally at the ballot box. Saying otherwise is just a popular way to deny responsibility and the individual need to change.
I don't understand the issue here. You input GPL code (the headers) and get GPL code out, what do you expect?

The more insinuating issue would be if you started with a innocent seeming function that a typical software developer would write, and ended up with GPL code. Has anyone shown that to happen?
Was there a black mirror episode regarding that phrase? If not I think they missed an opportunity to show people that everyone has something to hide.

It doesn't matter if it's a common practice. It's whether you want to deal with the uncommon outcome.

Because the margins suck. Yes, Uber facilitates a lot of rides. But those rides cost a lot of money. In addition to the trip itself, the driver needs to drive to you, wait for you to get in the car, and then wait after the trip for the next fare. That's a lot of time that they need to be compensated for. There is also a lot of competition. If Uber is too expensive, it's trivially easy to take a Lyft.

If such sandboxing doesn't have negative side effects like breaking some legitimate apps, then even apps from the App Store should be sandboxed. Otherwise, even if they're technically allowing sideloading, it's totally unfair and basically useless.
No, I'm perfectly happy with usage-based billing. But when I see the cheapest option costing $50 my heuristic is that there probably isn't an affordable other option. I was on mobile, so the usage-based section was below the fold.

Limiting would be ideal, but all I was suggesting is that you indicate above the fold that you have cheaper options

If you've been on the other side of that - having employees sabotage or steal in the process of leaving - you'd at least understand it. Not many people do that, but it's always the bad apples who ruin it for everybody.
In theory it is good practice, but in practice enforcing referential integrity is not free and it makes satisfying other non-functional requirements harder. Engineering is about tradeoffs. Foreign keys are overkill in modern architectures where DBs/tables are typically only written to by a single application. They solve a problem that lots of people don't really have anymore.
That's an unkind reading. The implication is that GPL circumvents some relevant restrictions of copyright law in question by creating a legal framework to do so.
The walled gardens are so well established now, their business plans no longer rely on a free Internet.

> prison isn't effectively stopping someone's evil actions enough.

Yes, I think this is the crux. There are a number of edge cases. I also don't mean to muddle issues but there are actually more homicides in prisons per year than there are capital punishments[1] but this issue doesn't get much attention. I am not arguing that capital punishment would prevent this issue (although I am very interested in knowing the likelihood of people with life sentences murdering behind bars versus the rest). That is why I have made this argument. I don't see how it's possible for a prison to stop someone who is motivated and dangerous (or has a dangerous following). I also don't think a crime should give you notoriety and fandom esp. in particularly bad cases like with serial killers . These cases are very rare though so I am not making any argument about how often capital punishment should happen just that there are cases where I see it as being perfectly moral and this assumes specifically that it is very difficult or impossible to totally isolate someone from the world, too expensive to do so, or possibly even that is a worse punishment than just executing them. I don't know that this has really been achieved ever.

Many of the alternatives to "a majority vote decides what's good or bad" are even worse. Lots of ink spilled on the downsides of kings or on anarchy vs some sort of democratic system.

What the poster is proposing about cracking down on large powerful companies isn't even particularly troublesome Constitutionally in the US; but even then, as with any other sort of regulations, Constitutional restrictions on what the legitimate government can and can't do can be taken too far, or can get outdated.
