But it does harm free and freemium copyrighted content, because now they don’t just compete with their costlier (but likely better produced) alternatives, but also their pirated copies as well.

Rescript has good react integration and compiles to normal js, so a little care to structure your rescript files so the compiled js ends up where fresh expects it is mostly all you need.

The more worrying thing is that fresh uses preact while rescript explicitly uses react and so far doesn't have a way to change it. I just overrode react in the import map to link preact instead. This is frightening and fragile, since the interfaces aren't guaranteed to be identical. But it's been working fine on a personal project for a few months now.
Just imagine David Attenborough:

"This bunch of ripe bananas looks beautiful and pristine. But it hides a dangerous beast: the deadly black tarantula."

It's well-accepted usage to say "Inanimate object X hides object Y", even if Y is an intelligent agent which has hidden itself.
It certainly feels like that, but there’s actually a lot more magic happening under the hood with React.

I think being less of us in the world is a benefit for the human race and the future of the globe. We're already way more than exhausting our resources, we want too much, for as little as possible and there's more and more of us everyday.

We're only worried about this whole thing for retirement and productivity reasons and their social and financial impacts, which are serious but can be sorted out.

This... "But the big one is... there's not a HUGE backlog of stuff we're trying to put into LEO" ...is way under-reported. Half of what's in orbit is Starlink! But that only supports 1M subscribers, based on the last public set of numbers.

The current constellation is mostly a "bent pipe" network that has no inter-satellite communication. The new satellites that are intended to form a kind of "backbone in orbit," even the "mini" versions, are much larger and heavier and those need an economical working Starship to make financial sense.
The entire argument behind capitalism is that high margins attract competition that drives those margins down towards zero. If that isn’t happening, it’s due to an environment that isn’t competitive (e.g. too high a barrier to entry.)
Just a reminder that 1984 was not originally about external things, but about the UK in general (and english public school culture specifically)...
> how does this deal make any financial sense to Microsoft if the plan wasn't eventually to implement anti-competitive practices much later down the line?

It makes perfect sense. These huge companies have a lot of unused capital, which they have to find productive uses for. Acquisitions in markets they already have competencies in are a rather obvious way to make use of it.

Internal R&D and launching new products is the best use of this capital (as it’s the most tax efficient), but it’s difficult to infinitely scale that spending efficiently (but acquisitions can effectively be one way of scaling this over the long term).

The alternative is dividends, or the much more tax efficient stock buy back. But long term, acquisitions are better for shareholders.
Population growth is already <1% and trending down YoY. It's scheduled to plateau in 2086, 43 years from now. Most of the growth at this point is attributed to prior high birth rates and increased longevity.

Yes, hyper-parameters are parameters about the parameters. Parameters we get to choose which control the parameters that the learning algorithm chooses.

The other set of data the book called "arguments", which is the term they use to describe the data you are training on. That seems like an unnecessarily confusing term, and I haven't heard it anywhere else.

I didn't learn anything truly new in all this, but it helped me sort my own thoughts to realize there is data, parameters, and hyperparameters. Data comes from the world and we cannot change it. Parameters are chosen by us indirectly through the learning algorithm, they are the most important outcome of successful learning. Hyperparameters are chosen by us directly and control the model and learning algorithm, and the resulting parameters.
What does just fine mean? Certainly if we all ate prescribed vegetarian diets and lived like quakers we could sustain 8 billion people for a long time. But that isn't fine for me, nor is it fine for me that we obliterate almost all natural wildlife and wild areas to feed and house ourselves and power our grid.

Its already not fine from many of our perspectives.

No, that is silly. Their population is on the decline because there are too many people. Later when it declines and there is not enough people, people will want to reproduce. This problem solves itself, I don't know why you growth fascists get in such a twist about it. Growth can't go on forever, you have to give up on it sometime.
Nintendo was taken to court and forced to pay out over anti-competitive business practices. Granted, the specific charge was price fixing and the settlement of sending coupons to consumers was ridiculous, but I could imagine an FTC that wasn’t asleep at the wheel who split the company’s hardware and software divisions.
The nastiest one is to reduce period it is paid... Probably not something that is going to happen with current cohort.

More likely these authors cherry-picked studies with typos in them.
I'm here to answer for WeatherLayers, AMA! I'm super happy to help @robhawkes with this project.

WeatherLayers consists of two products, that can be used either together or separately:

- WeatherLayers GL is a frontend visualisation library with deck.gl layers which can be integrated with common map libraries. The library can be used either with custom self-hosted data or with WeatherLayers Cloud.

- WeatherLayers Cloud is a cloud service providing pre-processed data for visualization from common public weather data sources (NOAA, Copernicus).

Athough it’s a commercial project, there are ways to discuss a potential discount or even a free usage for a non-commercial project such as Robin’s.
Only if you believe in the supply-demand theory of housing bubbles.

That we never anticipated this possibility means you call fallback on the “fair use” argument but legal does not mean ethical, especially when the law has yet to catch up to changing times.

From a profit margin perspective they are wildly different. Amazon profits are mostly just AWS. Microsoft is, I think, driven by their enterprise software. Apple is, I think, more hardware and App Store.

We shouldn’t expect them to have similar margins.

People need to prioritize people over materials.

Yet right now they are prioritizing heavy materialistic living over a bigger population. It is why the world "can't take the pressure of a huge population" argument surfaces.
No, let's all celebrate market competition, the most critical part of a functioning economy. Chinese companies aren't competitive due to CCP or authoritarian regime, but they're competitive because they're the underdogs on western markets and can't just curbstomp the competition with lawyers and DRM like US corporations can in their markets.

So they're forced to compete on price, quality and features (to some extent - it's not like they're not getting daddy Xis helping hand). Just like companies in other healthy capitalist markets which haven't completely broke due to consolidation.
I think language is a much bigger barrier than any purported hostility to immigration. Japanese visa laws are actually relatively open.

> We also need to significantly reduce the amount of traveling in all cars, electric or not.

I agree with the idea of this but in saying this you are forgetting about ~20% of the US populace that lives in rural areas.[1] I personally live ~1 hour from the nearest city. The area I live in has no access to high-speed internet to enable remote work, and the cost of driving to the city for a good paying job is still money ahead than taking a low paying job closer by. I also know I am not the only one of my neighbors in this boat.

This goes back to my original point, I think we have made the change too late. Sure we can implement solutions in cities with relative speed but the type of large scale changes that it would take to help areas, like where I'm at, will be too late by the time they are finished.

Well if a work is copyrighted does that make it "legally available" for training models?

Does the answer depend on to what degree the model can end up reproducing the work?
Has anyone been able to reproduce double descent without trying to invert a seriously ill-posed linear system? Showing that a solver has numerical issues which go away when enough parameters are introduced does not really prove anything.

"Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose your job."

Lots of people have skewed perspectives.
Countries (or their leadership) can be good and bad at the same time, for different reasons.

China - Awful way of treating people, illusion of democracy, but at least they reign in huge companies.

US - Democracy but companies wield huge power. Doesn't seem to care about people's health much.

Many European countries - Huge focus on caring about public healthcare, companies under control but innovation stifled a lot of times

Same goes for basically every country, and it's important to be able to see the good and bad at the same time, to have a bit perspective. No country is 100% good, nor is any country 100% bad.
No, the industry was new and not worth close to what it is now. Plus a lot different, arcades we’re still pretty dominate at that time.

No, it's not. Immigration is 'easy' as it avoids making the changes to adapt to stagnant/decreasing population, but those changes will have to made one day because population cannot keep growing indefinitely, so it's just kicking the can down the road. On the other hand, high immigration creates many social issues.

Frankly the debate has been poisoned by ideology and political agendas to the point people actually believe that there is no choice. But, really it has not been going well at all for the social and cultural fabric of European countries and just stating that means risking being labelled whatever nasty term you can think of.

It's not silly. Children growing up in Japan today learn from the environment they are in... they learn what "normal" is from the adults around them. They internalize the idea of having 1 or 0 children.

The population never recovers. Extinction is, at some point, inevitable.

Your comment amounts to "you're wrong, things magically change and it's all good". Do you know nothing of their culture, or psychology in general? Conformists aren't well-known for bucking the trends their parents set and doing something wildly different than they.
The elephant-in-the-room is this: religion aka super-virulent-neuro-memes generally promote having many children. How will the world reduce human growth on that basis.

I guess it's tricky because at work, a central secret store with permissions and some kind of audit trail is a good idea. At home some cloud backup / syncing should be done, but I don't think that replaces local backups and everything.

I don't see the need to bring China to the conversation.

If your entire waking hours have to be dedicated to working, what's the point of having a wage at all?

I already know that Japanese culture takes great pride in work. I wasn't being literal with the word "slavery" (that's why I added "borderline" next to it). That pride doesn't make the day magically last longer than 24 hours.

Being passionate with your work is great and all. But time is finite, and life passes by. If I'm left with no time to cultivate any hobbies or even spend quality time with my family and/or friends, then I don't see the point at all.
Finally a sane and reasonable answer.

Multiply population times consumption to get footprint. There is no question we are over the carrying capacity of the planet for humans with a lifestyle of mindless consumption and reproduction.

The insects are mostly gone. Half the animal species are gone. The oceans are filled with plastic garbage. The reefs are dead.

Humans have no capacity to limit our own numbers. Trends in Japan and projections for a few other places ignore the numbers for China and India with over 1.5 billion each and monstrous ecological collapse in both places.

And still the company I work for, like every capitalist organization, harps on the insane Pozi scheme of perpetual growth at every meeting. Why can't we just produce something of quality that will last and provide it to a stable market? Greed and insanity.

The only reason you don't believe that we are in a catastrophe of overpopulation is that the degradation of the environment is not immediately evident if you live in a city.
