I don't believe this is the case in the UK. By this point the costs are being run up against the defendant and they have to pay the bailiff fees:

All class action lawsuits have a named plaintiff that represents the class, and gets more of the settlement than the rest (how much is totally up to the agreement with the law firm).

But in this particular case, a letter from a lawyer outlining some specific laws/contracts that FB is violating will get them to stop immediately.

In the desert there is only a single place to drill for water, but there is enough water if you drill there to serve everyone.

The king, in an attempt to find this well, issues a proclamation, that whoever finds this place to drill will own all of the water that comes out of it for the rest of their lives.

Most of the desert dwellers recognize that searching for this well wont keep them fed in the meantime, so an enterprising young duke offers a different deal. He says that he will pay people to search for the well, in exchange for the rights to the water if they find it.

Many desert dwellers take him up on this deal, its a good job, and it pays well enough to subsidize the searching.

When the well is finally found, the king grudgingly hands the duke the rights to the water, and with the wealth that the exorbitant prices he charges for water brings him, the duke eventually owns the whole desert and deposes the king.

That's it, thats the whole story. If you thought it was stupid, and that the king should have done things differently, we are in agreement.
It's not really true that they pollute less. One thing that has happened due to their "lower power and longer life" is that they are being installed in a lot of places where they aren't needed.

Where I live, the city decided in the downtown core to wrap non-diffused non-rectified LEDs around the poles in spirals. What this means is that if you're walking or driving, you are looking directly at the light as opposed to a traditional fixture that is pointed downward and may also have a cover.

I think this is actually the point. Sheeran was sued not because he made a song that sounded the same as another song, but because the song he made earned a lot of money.

So this problem only happens to rich musicians who have earned a lot of money making music. That doesn't make it right, or reasonable, obviously. But it also means that the vast majority of musicians will never have this problem. The whole "copyright is threatening music" headline is a little overblown. "Rich douchebags are using copyright to bully rich musicians with meritless court cases" would probably be more accurate.

From the article you linked:

"the legislation — passed Wednesday by the Legislature — makes it a felony for hate groups to harass people for their religion or ethnicity. Florida had the fourth-highest number of antisemitic incidents last year, according to the Anti-Defamation League."

He signed away his constituents' right to harass Jews?

And wasn't this bill already approved by the legislature?

One can already imagine the headlines if he DIDN'T sign it. "Desantis vetoes bill protecting Jews from white supremacists".

Huh, that's not too different than the headlines one sees right now.
I generally tend to agree with you. However, to give the opposing camp some credit: causation is not always so obvious. For example I don't think today's LLM capabilities followed obviously from the state of affairs in let's say 2019.

Do we call that emergence or do we use another word? I don't care, but it would certainly be nice if we could agree to use the same word :)

A state is also a threat to its citizens. It's power must be limited through careful checks and balances. These create intentional inefficiencies. Combining the internal policing function with external espionage creates an organisation wilding the state monopoly on violence against its own citizens and able to claim it's actions are state secrets. Go ask how those released after years of imprisonment and torture in Guantanamo Bay without access to anything but a cruel mockery of due process how they feel about unchecked state power? Would prefer to talk to Uyghurs who managed escape from China instead?

The state must be kept limited in all its powers even in its power to protect from harm. Accepting the consequences of these intentional limitations is a price a society must pay for liberty or face the consequences.

In my opinion the USA has repeatedly fallen short in this regard. Coming back to your question here is an example of harm caused by (one-sided) information sharing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction .
Yes. He was captured by Calypso, and held on an island against his will. It's said he wept bitterly every night at the shore, longing to be back with his wife. He was not in control, he was not happy, he was not free to leave.

It's a bit odd that all the search and "next page" requests are handled via POSTs. I like it when I can see the search query in the query args.

Also there's no progress or loading indicator on anything. When I click "Next Page" it looks like nothings happening for awhile. (though this is probably more of an issue now when I bet the site is under extra load).

Also I can't for the life of me figure out how to get anything but "General" search to work. Clicking IMAGES or VIDEO turns that label to bold, as if I can search for multiple types at once, but then doesn't update the results. Some text shows up telling me to click the magnifier, but if I click the magnifier in the top right that's actually a logo not a button (no visual distinction), so it takes me to the home page. When I go back, click IMAGES, and then click the magnifier to the right of the input field it still doesn't search for images. Normal behavior would be to search for the category I want as soon as I click it.

Also I wish the Next/Previous page button were links that showed the URL when I hovered, though now I'm just repeating my first request to use GET/query args.

edit: I now see, by inspecting the post requests, that after clicking/enabling types like "IMAGE" or "VIDEO", that the POST request trigger the search indicates those categories. Seems like the results don't change though. Also the search types I just made a search for become un-bolded when the results are returned meaning I'd have to re-enable them to make another search with the same types. (but pretty moot now since I assume this the other categories are unimplemented)

I agree with everything you said except for the last sentence

You can orchestrate almost any progression to be pleasing or interesting - as there's far more to harmony than just choosing what chords go in what order

Chord voicings and the arrangement of the composition have far more of an impact on the final piece than just the ordering of chords

It's also very culturally relative - Classical North Indian harmony would sound awful (IMO) if you used more than one chord (in their case a Shruti box drone) under the piece

In a similar way, Jazz Musicians would insist the ii-V-I progression is the most useful of all time, not I-V-vi-IV like most pop/rock listeners

It's all relative to context and I-V-vi-IV is not as "universal" as all those magazine articles and blog posts will insist

Don't let the theory of harmony proposed by Bach and his dead German associates be the be all and end all of harmony

Some progressions are more popular than others (think of it like Sloane's Gap in mathematics), but there's certainly no teleology in music or its progressions!
> As I've said in other comments, to accurately predict the next word in a complex piece of text you need to be able to reason.

If anything, LLMs have shown us exactly the opposite: that there is no need to be able to reason "to accurately predict the next word in a complex piece of text".
Wow, I've been reading up on large language models lately, and I have to say I'm increasingly convinced that there really is some higher level reasoning going on with these AI systems. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first, but the more I delve into it, the more impressed I become.

I mean, just take a look at how they can generate coherent and contextually relevant responses. It's not just about stringing words together; there's clearly some form of pattern and logic recognition happening here. It's almost as if the model is learning to "think" in a way that's comparable (to some extent) to the way humans do.

Can you imagine an AGI which has a general conceptions of things but has no conception of humans? This is all but precluded by the current training methods. Alignment refers to values. Problem is that human values are far from practically universal and that certain human groups have.. interesting values.
> Next, if someone fixed font / display scaling in X for high DPI (24" 4k monitor) displays, it would allow more people to use Desktop linux.

What is the problem? AFAIK a friend of mine has been using an X-based setup (IIRC with FVWM) in his 4K laptop for years and when i asked him he told me the only thing he had to do was to use ImageMagick to scale at 2x the images his theme used.
> but once you’re used to X, 50% of X feels painful, even if 50% of X is still an extremely luxurious lifestyle

Let's say that X is your favorite food. If you already have 100x the amount you could ever eat, a 50% reduction won't feel painful at all, because you'll still have far more than you could ever eat.

I'd posit that at a certain point, you have more of everything than you could ever use, except for things that demonstrate your wealth to others. The naming rights to buildings are one example—they don't actually increase your quality of life in any way, they just show how wealthy you are.

Maybe I was wrong about the threshold for this, and it's actually higher than $200 million dollars, but it can't be that far off...

Part of the size problem in the last generation was because of duplication of assets to load faster from spinning hard drives. They bundled assets for level loads sequentially because it's quicker to have all the assets inline instead of seeking all over the place.

I imagine when the HDD-era engines are end-of-lined we'll get a slight shrink, but it'll probably be eclipsed by the growing number of high resolution assets pretty quickly.

It ran on those machines, but the license cost was still something like $800 a seat if I recall.
At a time when Linux was up and coming and starting to be quite usable for all sorts of things.

NeXT blew it on licensing costs for WebObjects, as well. They were early to the game on a very powerful application server, with a powerful ORM, etc. But it was hundreds of thousands of dollars to deploy it. I went to a seminar/training on it in early 97ish I think? And it was priced completely out of reach for what startups etc at the time could afford. So almost nobody used it. Just a few big companies (I believe Dell's website ran on it for a time.)
