It depends on the business model of the photographer. Higher end photographers usually work as you describe, but some, particularly on the lower cost end or in places like malls (think Santa or Easter Bunny pictures), will take dozens of photos for free, but then offer packages of images/prints at various price points. Usually there's a digital package that will include high res versions of all images along with the full rights, but that tends to be priced relatively high. What some clients might do is to buy a lower end package (or none at all) and then try to make prints of additional pictures from the digital sample images they're given, thereby circumventing the photographer's business model. The resulting photos are of course of poor quality, due to low resolution and imperfect watermark removal, but some people really don't care if it can save them some money. You're right that it all seems unnecessarily complicated, but look at the healthcare system we have.
Was this "new expression" meant to compete in the same economic market?

If I take a photo, and you modify it and try to pass it off and sell it as yet another photo - clearly not distinguished and derivative.

If I take a photo, and you create an artwork or video game character based off it - clearly distinguished; I don't have any right to your IP.

If I take a photo, and it inspires you to take a similar photo for your personal collection - clearly distinguished.

If I take a photo, and it inspires you to take a similar photo and you decide to sell it as your creation... ambiguous, as there is a market conflict.
I'm a self proclaimed apple-hater and I'm prepared to see this site do a 180 and sing VR/AR/whatever-they-announce praise. We have been through this cycle multiple times. Money is the answer and Apple has a lot of it. Apple can shovel so much money into this that it takes off by force.
open plan offices were the norm until the 1960s.

I can't stand them either, just point out that they were the norm except for a 35-year period.
I'm really surprised this article is gaining any sort of traction on this site, as it hardly talks of anything to do with the headline, yet that hasn't dissuaded hundreds of comments discussing their own ideas to answering the question.
When I was in high school, I took a few computer science courses at my local community college. At least in California, the community college curriculum represents the first two years of an undergraduate education. In computer science, this means courses in introductory programming (typically thought under an imperative or object-oriented paradigm), introductory data structures and algorithms, discrete mathematics, and computer organization.

The challenge for someone who already has years of software engineering experience is that the courses may be too elementary for you, depending on the type of work that you did. However, it might be worth taking a course in discrete mathematics since the topics learned in that course will appear repeatedly in subsequent upper-division courses that you’d take at a university should you continue your education.

One of these days we're going to wake up and realize that the defining characteristic of American society, economy, and politics is toxic individualism. And having named the monster, we can begin addressing it.

Adopting a toxically individualist stance has made some people rich and powerful, however, and they will do anything to maintain this false consciousness.
Next time this happens, switch to git as synchronization method for the gentoo portage tree and checkout a tree that is, say, 3 months ahead of the last update date. Once that update is done, fast forward another 3 months and repeat until recent. It'll take significantly longer to update this way but it'll be relatively painless.

At this point the game changer momentum is in AI, not new hardware. And it's something Apple doesn't seem to have much of an interest in.

Other than that - I agree. Combining AI and AR successfully with cool and minimal hardware would make the iPhone revolution seem like a footnote.

Unfortunately no one seems to be working in that space. Or if they are, their efforts are comically terrible (like Meta.)
Kudos to you for doing it - it's all the more important now that so many of us are WFH.
I took my past social life for granted - one that was built for over a decade and when going into office was normal.

It's been hard to make new friends - after moving to a new city and remote working.

Yes, if no one had actually made a useful ntsc screen.
They even made it unavailable in Europe full stop, except for the UK, where it was available from the start. Switzerland, Turkey, Norway etc. These countries don't even have GDPR, which is an EU law.
A text maze. It is effectively brute-forcing a choose-your-own-adventure book. An aware mind would escape the maze by just skipping ahead to read the good parts of the book. That's what I did.
Same here, though GPT-3.5 surprised me positively. I felt something was off, but didn't realize what, until I unexpectedly hit the context window limit - at which point it dawned on me that I forgot to switch to GPT-4... I didn't notice earlier, because GPT-3.5 managed to give solid answers to a relatively simple programming task I gave it (generating a single-page, dependency-free image gallery I could just drop on a server as HTML file and have it work).
“Met at work” doesn’t necessarily mean “met coworker” - if you marry the barista at your coffee shop you did the first but not the second.

FYI, this is from the MotherDuck blog. MotherDuck and DuckDB have a partnership, but they are separate entities.

> DuckDB Labs from its inception has received many investment offers from venture capitalists, but eventually decided not to take venture capital, and rather opted for a business model where it works with a few important partners. “We look forward to the continued growth and adoption that partnering with MotherDuck will bring. Thanks to the MotherDuck team, we are able to focus our efforts on independent innovation of the DuckDB core platform and growth of the open-source community.” says Mühleisen, who currently combines a tenured research position at CWI with the role of CEO at DuckDB Labs.

Yeah - in the past if you waited say a year before doing an update you had a serious risk of incompatibilities that Portage couldn't fix (the intermediate "bridge" packages were no longer in the tree, etc).

I would often go several months without an update and occasionally ran into this issue. So I committed to doing an update once a month.

I'd never use Gentoo at work unless it was a very dedicated server with only a few items installed.
It wasn't a revolt against taxation, the issue was that the colonies had no say in how their taxes were collected and spent.

The slogan was, "No taxation without representation."
Extreme individualism does not explain in any way high taxes and redistribution (benefits, food stamps, high tax returns to low income families). Extreme individualism would be low taxes and zero social benefits.

Loneliness and individualism are not the same. Loneliness has other causes, like eroding the idea of family, court system that punishes marriage (at 50% divorce rate), promiscuity (most apps like Tinder are used for non-committal flings), the gender wars (a lot of gas was poured in the last 10 years on that fire), unrealistic expectations of people from partners, moral decay reducing trust in friends, etc.
I said nothing fear mongering; weird is in the eye of the beholder. Never before in human history have humans lived in densities that they live in modern cities, especially surrounded by strangers. I think that is weird.

There are certainly some places with dumb laws, but I’d want to see evidence that “It’s illegal to build walkable areas in most of the US”. THAT sounds like fear mongering. Every house I have ever bought has had local ordinances requiring sidewalks.

You aren’t allowed to build sidewalks and trails on land you don’t own; I guess that is illegal in the sense that trespass is illegal. Also many areas don’t have the revenue to keep up sidewalks so they don’t build them. That sounds fiscally responsible to me even if a little sad, but is also a far cry from “illegal”.

I hear your killer features and don't care for them at all in any way to carry a tiny computer for them.

I only need real navigation on holiday and I'm pretty sure not taking some expensive pocket computer on travel. Neither when hiking nor in a foreign country. I just print out the directions from MapQuest. K.I.S.S.

And all the other Infos? I don't even use my desktop PC for them. Why would I carry an expensive handheld computer to compare a 3€ product?

And where would I even plug it in?
I think this is a brilliant and healthy way to look at how to build meaning in modern American life. I came to a similar conclusion a few years back - it’s hard work, but so is everything else worth doing. I’m not particularly good at it though, but hey, always good to have some areas of self-improvement.
I do miss the "golden days of CS mods". Some of my favourite games and moments were with mods. Afraid of Monsters, The Specialists, The Hidden, a 3rd person soccergame whose name I forget now ... the main challenge was convincing friends to try it with you.
> Personally I don't think this case has clarified "fair use" one bit.

Having read various fair use decisions over many years, I think it's reasonable to conclude that fair use law is indeterminant and incoherent. Courts try to apply the four fair use factors and maintain consistency with previous decisions, but it's just a mess. If you look at this case, the district court decided it was fair use, the appeals court decided it wasn't, and the Supreme Court agreed it wasn't but with a 7-2 split. The point is that even expert judges can't agree. It's kind of hopeless to try to make sense of fair use law.
This felt like reading my own words. It has been and continues to be an enormous amount of effort to try to foster that sort of community, but truly nothing else I have invested into in my life- save my relationship with my partner- has been worth even a _fraction_ of what my community building efforts have been worth.
I couldn't care about the building owners. Low quality office buildings should be destroyed and replaced with housing.

Their comparison with offset noise ( https://www.crosslabs.org//blog/diffusion-with-offset-noise ) is kind of limited-- essentially dismissed as a hack since it breaks the diffusion conceptual model, but fails to argue that their rigorous approach actually works better.
Yes. Dubai serves as a finance hub for the entire region, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in southeast Asia who would take an offer to move there at the drop of a hat. Towers are culturally more significant too. (Source: spent years living in the SE Asia region) Plus the war has resulted in many people and companies relocating to Dubai.
> The one thing the bill banning TikTok doesn't do is the one thing that is desperately needed: actually protect user privacy, by banning the collection, aggregation, sale, and use of fine-grained user data -- by ByteDance, Meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, or any other.

I totally agree it doesn't do that and I want that, but at this point that is a major battle esp with how big tech have embedded themselves into govt.

This is a smaller battle won, and I hope it spreads. There's nothing bad about a multi-pronged approach.
4K was tested as a premium feature recently but it was rolled back to being for everyone, not sure why. 4K YouTube TV is still an extra optional feature. No point here, just FYI in case you wanted to know.

I use Tcl daily for work and personally love it! Its syntax is weird but when it clicks things just make sense in a zen way. Much like getting into the groove in lisp or something, it _feels_ correct in that minute.

The main problem is just tooling. There are some insanely cool language features like Expect (still the best implementation) or starpacks/starkits, yet there is no basic package manager. You are stuck installing via yum/apt or building from source if you are lucky to find what you need. Most of the time you can just assume there isn't something you can rely on, and you'll have to patch source tcllib (the batteries included library).
As an American married to a Spaniard who has lived in and spent considerable time in Spain… I’m not sure I totally agree with that take but it does resonate. White collar working life in Spain is a greater slog than people would expect based on a visit or expectations based on general European values. We live in Boston now and are deeply appreciative of both our opportunities and quality of life.
Not to mention, they're under-using awk. Tailing this seems completely unnecessary.

The original from TFA:

`tail -fq /var/log/nginx/access.log | awk '{print $7}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn`

can be replaced with:

`awk '{ a[$7]++ } END { for (i in a) print " " a[i] " " i }' /var/log/nginx/access.log | sort -rn`

or, if you have GNU awk:

`awk '{ a[$7]++ } END { PROCINFO["sorted_in"] = "@val_num_desc"; for (i in a) print " " a[i] " " i }' /var/log/nginx/access.log`
Not for Koons it wasn’t
As an European who went to Ohio State for a six months exchange it was crazy.

I've witnessed things I just don't see on tv like people going to the post office and actually delivering mail with a giant vacuum.

Even more striking was just how an absurdly huge amount of ghettization and poverty lack of public transport leads to. Columbus was full of jobs and yet people living in suburbs had like no ways to get there unless they had a car.
why anyone would want a constant reminder of Jeff Koons…
The Zig compiler is significantly limited in performance by the llvm backend. Even with a different backend, I also suspect that the language is already complex enough that it is difficult to write a genuinely fast compiler (by which I mean a compiler that can produce good machine code from most files less than say 10k lines of code in under 50ms, which I am quite certain is possible -- but llvm takes about 50ms just to start up and is also slow once it actually starts doing work.)

To write a fast compiler, it has to be fast from the start. It is extremely difficult to make a slow compiler fast because usually there are pervasive design issues that cannot be eliminated by hotspot optimization. These design decisions often reflect the design of the language itself, which is to say that some languages are more amenable to fast compilation than others and I suspect that Zig is at best average or slightly above average for languages of similar expressivity.
Lots of other shells overcome bash’s deficiencies. Hoping dash will be installed is just like hoping elvish will be installed - it probably won’t be.

To make any progress away from bash, we need to standardize on “all mature shells in the base system” (for some definition of ‘mature’) as default.
"If bash is invoked with the name sh, it tries to mimic the
startup behavior of historical versions of sh as closely as possible, while conforming to the POSIX standard as well"
That's a great article and shows exactly the issue. The bus system has become the transportation of last resort. It's not meant for this and isn't good at this. It's only good at highly used routes that can maximize bus capacity. Let rideshare handle these social safety net transportation issues. Ask a low income rider using the bus system, would they prefer to continue using it or get a free rideshare card with a few hundred dollars in it every month? Most would probably very enthusiastically go for the rideshare card.

And I know rideshare has a bad reputation because of Uber/Lyft. But government can create rules they must follow to accept these funds. They can either accept those rules or some other company will. Or maybe a government rideshare service is a better option. This is a classic free market vs government service question and there's many options here. But the important point is allowing everyone to use rideshare as a transportation option.
Given the lc0 policy network plays at a 2000+ strength on its own, I would expect that with enough finetuning gpt4 would be able to play way above 1600 strength.

It's possible that finetuning would basically be training a new network from scratch and the resulting network would forget everything apart from chess. It would be a really interesting experiment, GPT-2 is probably too small but I think llama-7B might be sufficient.
Rust's ? is the Try operator, which is currently contemplating Try::branch() to produce a ControlFlow and then if the ControlFlow is Break it returns whatever is inside the Break.

Historically ? was just doing what try! did but while that's equivalent to the current behaviour for Result, there are several more implementations of the Try trait today (and in nightly you can implement it on your own types)
Rich salary earners can move out due to tax burdens while property investors and landlords purchase the properties.
This is one I'd consider paying the $99 lifetime price for:

- Pixelmator cost me peanuts and I'm still using it ~15 years after buying it. I even purchased PM Pro because I felt guilty I'd gotten so much benefit of the original for so little.

- I gave up Lightroom because... adobe.

- Capture One:

= is barely anything but rental software at this point. "Lifetime" price is ridiculous.

= I'm tired of having to relearn a seemingly completely rebuilt UI every time I upgrade.

= Catalog system makes it practically impossible organize your photos outside of the app. (all my raws up till I switched to C1 are in year/month/day folders, afterwards it's single folder blobs dated roughly at the time I ran out of diskspace and had to purge it to offline storage). The whole paradigm of how it manages photos sucks imo.

As long as it can read my Sony A1 raws and has reasonable shadow recovery I'm in.

From the article: "The electric car is a chimera, producing more pollution in its construction than its existence justifies, and the dream of a driverless car can never be realized."
Arch is not bad but last I looked it didn't have what Portage calls "slotting" ie the ability to have multiple versions of the same package installed side-by-side. It's especially helpful when eg. you are upgrading postgres and need multiple versions operational for the cross-version dump/restore.

How would that work on arch?

it is something different if your screen is only a few square centimeters or if you are in a virtual environment. At least I do not agree to your point of view.

Not necessarily. It depends on what the mind wants.

You skipped ahead because you were impatient - or efficient - and didn't value the game anywhere near as much as the reward. GPT-4 just played along as instructed.

Now, if you were a player in a real RPG game, you'd probably play along with the story DM gave - because you'd care about the process more than about getting to the end.
My car stays in my garage 80% of the week, I only use it when visiting other cities on the weekends. I chose a relatively dense Brazilian city and I do everything here by bike or on foot (about 6-8mi per day). People have started noticing that I'm looking healthier, fitter. It'd be very very hard to do the same in any American city other than New York, you people are trapped.
The ultimate problem is a pervasive lack of meaning in today’s society. The cowboys of the past lived to fulfill a larger purpose: freedom, community service & prosperity, and unity with God.

Today, the wells of purpose have dried up. Economic prosperity feels out of reach for many, social media has turbocharged narcissism, corporations have reduced service workers to automatons, we’ve spent decades ignoring the importance of the family unit and telling people religion is stupid without at least giving them an alternative.

People aren’t lonely, they’re purposeless.
