UK net migration hits all-time record at 504,000 - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63743259

That's enough to make the UK ~40% immigrant in one lifetime (80 years). Given how rare it is for countries to change so significantly so fast, it's fair to say that they already have very liberal immigration. The UK population rose from 63 million in 2011, to 68 million in 2023, despite a below-replacement fertility rate of 1.74 [1].

While it's true that most nations in Europe want lower immigration [2,3,4], such sentiments rarely translate into policy, similar to the US.

Copyright gets destroyed after the artist is dead + 70 years, then it is public domain.

So it is either:

Use public domain works

Use the artists work but ask for permission or pay license

Change the laws on copyright length. (how many lawyers can you pay for?)

Wait for the work to enter in the public domain (unlikely anyone will do this for any work made today)

How would it do that? It is just a coin held at the Federal Reserve to make the debt not go over the "limit". It is just a magic trick on the ledger. It doesn't change the amount of money in circulation as the coin is never spent.

I don't understand how it would change anything about prices. The Federal Reserve already sets the interest rates indpendent of the deficit.
Congress already has the ability to adjust the budget and pass laws to change spending, or increase/reduce taxes. The CBO already gives Congress estimates for every law and it's effect on the deficit.
There needs to be an investigation into why the f MSI’s keys were anywhere accessible in the first place. Seriously what the shit?
Question, why is this different than a proper usability study? If I am not mistaken, Jacob Nielsen has been proselytizing this for decades.
> I don’t really understand why my iPhone can’t just be a desktop.

It can’t?

I mean, I’ve got better desktops (all of which are actually laptops) so I rarely use the phone this way, but my phone can with just an adaptor to plug in HDMI and a keyboard & mouse, and the Apple fans are always telling me how much better iPhones are at everything…
This is an interesting post, thank you.

In my toy barebones SQL database, I store rows alternatedly on different replicas based on a consistent hash. I also have a "create join" statement, this keeps join keys colocated.

Then when there is a join query issued, I can always join because the join keys are available and the join query can be executed on each replica and returned to the client to be aggregated.

I want building distributed high throughput systems to be easier and less error prone. I wonder if a mixture of scale up and scale out could be useful architecture.

You want minimum network round trips or crossovers between threads (synchronization cost) as you can get.
By posing for the photo, Prince was implicitly allowing his image to be used for that photo. Goldsmith got permission; Warhol didn't.
I just posted this as a sibling to you. If you can, definitely upgrade to a vent that goes out of the house. And definitely keep cleaning it on a regular basis. It is very noticeable how much cleaner the house is now that we do both of those.

And yes, it takes effort to convince the family to basically always turn on the fans when cooking. Is worth it.
Thank you so much for your very warm and encouraging comments!

PRIMA has been a black hole that absorbs all my time and energy in the past three years, which even puts my career (as a junor professor) in real danger. The positive feedback like yours is vital for me. Without it, I would not have the energe or courage to continue. Many thanks!

> A motivated developer could very quickly port this code to their preferred numerical programming language.

I am much glad to hear a person other than myself saying this. It is the very reason why I develop this reference implementation. PRIMA achieves its success if others can implement Powell's solvers to high quality using PRIMA as a referene, without the genius like Powell and without the long-term experience and strugling like me.

Many thanks! --- Zaikun
>Another common footgun is not including a double dash ('--') at the end of command options so that the following filename won't be interpreted as an option when it begins with a dash.

Yes. And if you have a file name that begins with a dash, and you want to delete it, you can use this command:

$ rm -- -filename

where -filename is that file. Here, the -- (double dash) means "end of the command-line options", so any argument after that is treated as a non-option argument, in this case, a filename for rm to delete.

This -- (double dash) works with many Unix commands. It was introduced relatively early on in Unix history, after the issue of filenames starting with a dash was found.

Although it is more likely that you would want to rename the file, to remove the dash from the name.

> But then a lot of other people are of the opinion that they can ignore food and weather and come to Britain. Net migration numbers in recent decades have not gone in favour of your line of thinking?

As a labor camp, Britain is very nice and efficient. Depending on the job, their country of origin, and whether they are able/willing to evade taxes, it may work out that a couple years of suffering in shitty conditions will yield a decent nest egg to enjoy back home. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a nice place to live and build a future in. I wonder if there are stats on the average length of stay of those immigrants?
Why is this an app? What does it enable that the website can't?

I agree, I only use 4 because by far the thing that matters most for my usage is the quality of the output at this stage in the game.

But 3.5 is generally available, fast, and costs a WHOLE LOT less for API users; those are real capabilities that matter though by "capable" you only meant the quality of the output. It's worth comparing to 3.5 also.
Why is this not a simple trade issue?

Why do we allow China to run their social media apps in the West whilst they block all foreign apps within their own borders?

As long as PRIMA is maintained (which seems likely independently), it's only the bindings that need to be maintained. And it's trivial to write a Fortran interface in C or C++ (perhaps that can be included in PRIMA anyway) and then SciPy can pretend like it's not Fortran...

According to the OECD (https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=SHA#) the US spends about 18% of its GDP on healthcare while the UK spends about 12% of its (much lower per capita) GDP. Per captia the numbers are even more wild, the US spends about $12k per person per year while the UK spends about $4000.

While the UK could (and in my opinion should) spend rather more money on healthcare than it does, the NHS is actually spectacuarly efficient compared to the mess of private providers and insurance middlemen you have to deal with in the US.
I can't think of an acronym I dislike more than NIMBYism. By its own nature, it posits the alternative as being outright for anything is a better option.
While I think copyright law is currently overbearing and harmful and desperately needs fixing, I don't agree that the concept of copyright itself is broken.

The legitimate role of copyright is to encourage artists to allow public access to their works. Without some form of protection, a lot of work would never be available to most people because keeping it hidden will become the only protection artists have.
Labels can be tough.

> Who represents people with those beliefs if not?

Generally what people would consider to be alt-right politicians, although the alt-right is basically the mainstream powerhouse of the republican party now so maybe we're due for some new labels. Perhaps the better question is "who represents people with "regular conservative" beliefs and I guess the answer is people like Joe Manchin and Romney.
I care about the difference between 30fps and 60fps, but only in certain games. If I'm playing a PC first-person shooter, I'm gonna want 60fps (or preferably 144fps). For an RPG or strategy game, 30fps or less is good enough.

I agree on the stuttering though - the only thing worse than low framerate is slightly higher average framerate + big dips.

> “The Court here uses unambiguous language to eliminate an oft-used point raised in fair use analysis. Simply adding ‘some new expression, meaning or message’ does NOT, in and of itself, create a transformational use. Period.

It seems weird to have judges and lawyers critiquing artwork like this. Seems like a bit of an increase in the scope of their jobs. Isn't "transformational" like beauty, in the eye of the beholder?

Does the PWA also log you out every few days like the regular website? That really annoys me so much. Every few days I type a question in the GPT tab I always have open, it realises I was kicked out and shows me the login screen. After logging in my question is gone and I have to type it again. Grrr..

I believed this to be literally the case, that Go was designed for the "lowest common denominator", i.e. to make that area of programming at Google more accessible than it was previously. Have I been misinformed?
Let’s be honest, though—very, very few people expected large language models to be so ungodly effective.
copyright isn't backwards. you could argue free loaders who enjoy amazing things and then want to profit off derivatives is backwards.

consider that there are amazing things, right now in human existence that will exist, but do not at this moment. money fundamentally is about resource allocation. such things are less likely to be discovered without incentive. money is part of that incentive (though not the only thing).

the problem is that copyright has become too overzealous and too long lasting. ideally imho it would be exponentially decaying in length based on use, or exponentially expensive to keep an exclusive right to. or perhaps right of first refusal around anyone who wants to use it being able to bid for the opportunity. there are many improvements that could be made, yes.

in my view copyright should be use it or lose it. I do agree with your sentiment in that many people hold copyright to things that they are not actually using.
I'll improve this section. Only some of the upcoming viewings have confirmed dates. Those that are show in the webcal feed (link in footer) but I'll make sure they appear in the HTML soon.
I haven't really been following the AI stuff that closely, but in a similar conversation last week someone was noting that while a lot of the model creators said the original images aren't there, in some/many cases they actually are and if you ask correctly the exact (or close to it) image comes out the other end.

I don't know the details, or enough to have a real opinion on it, but it seems like if you have a system that you can request something from and an input image comes out mostly intact on the other end, that shares a lot of similarities to a database and lossy compression. If that's actually possibly, then I have questions about how much of an original is used in the output even if it's changed, and at what point it becomes transformative.

Again, I'm not sure about most of this, and don't even have the source comment I'm remember, much less their source for their assertions, but I do have lots of questions and suspicions, if indeed what we think we know about these models based on prior statements ends up being wrong in some cases as we learn more.
Lower refresh rates are less noticeable on smaller screens, although the distance from the screen also has an effect.

IMO it runs fine docked and handheld, some people just really care about the non-game aspects of a game like performance.
Its insane how popular it is, when it comes to the decline of the true hacker/engineer, to blame individuals for systemtic changes in process and environment
What’s alt-right about it? Every example given on that page is a belief I’ve seen espoused by mainstream conservatives since I started paying attention to politics in the late 90s. The “alt” right of the last decade was a reaction against this.

Besides borrowing language from 4chan, it sounds like a cringe con for milquetoast Republicans who feel targeted for their political beliefs.

That describes Carmack to a tee, but he apparently wanted to support ideologically disloyal art without provoking conflict. The organizers were clumsy, and this mea culpa is unhelpful.
I agree, but commenting on the "transformative" aspect. Warhol was much more transformative of Prince's face.
Doesn't the market have to stabilize into a state where some pretty large portion of consumers can't afford the service to maximize profits.
To be fair, the original image was a commissioned piece, where the photographer was paid for source material by the magazine who also paid for the Warhol image. (internet photo search not existing in the 1970s).

Warhols estate sold another image to the magazine and didn't pay the photographer this time. $10,000 was mentioned which might not have paid for the case's legal fees.

"The portrait of Prince was taken by Lynn Goldsmith, a successful rock photographer. In 1984, around the time Prince released “Purple Rain,” Vanity Fair hired Warhol to create a work to accompany an article titled “Purple Fame.” The magazine paid Ms. Goldsmith $400 to license the portrait as an “artist reference,” agreeing to credit her and to use it only in connection with a single issue."

When I was photo editor in College we had some big name acts we got to shoot as they had justed opened our new arena. Typically you sign away your personal rights to the photos and you get a photo pass. Aerosmith, Metalica, lenny Kravitz, James Taylor all had this. Oddly Elton John did not and I got a furious phone call from the venue that one of my staff photographers was selling prints without permission (through the paper classified as was the style in the 90s). He hadn't signed anything and they gave him a photo pass... He hadn't sold any, so after some discussion he stopped. Cell phone cameras have changed the game alot.

Really? So many people tell me how great ChatGPT is at helping development and developers are pretty much by definition technical people.

Also, the signup process is far from easy. People here often cry about how "difficult" it is to sign up for Mastodon or Matrix etc and that is why the mainstream don't use it. Yet this is the same :)

So? Can't that be accurate?

The end of the Nazis and the Holocaust doesn't become a bad thing just because the Soviets were involved. Helping Ukraine resist a clear war of aggression doesn't become a bad thing just because the US is part of that helping. Hell, it's nice to see most of the world chip in on a more morally black-and-white scenario than is typical over the last 70 years.

If you think Russia and the US are on equal moral footing with regards to the Ukraine question, you're the @dril tweet.
you say 'I think you are misunderstanding the plan. The device will stay on until you turn it off, or 5 mins after last keystroke.'

that's the plan i described yesterday in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35983387

that's the plan i think will give you three hours of battery life: 2 amp hours times 3.7 volts divided by 2.5 watts gives 3 hours of use. 36 5-minute timeouts. do you have a different estimate? did i miscalculate?

that's not a weekend

in that comment i also explained an approach that would beat that by two orders of magnitude if you applied it with the same components (though there i supposed the hardware would use an esp32)

transformative doesn't refer to modifications done to the work of art.

Transformative refers to how the works of art are used. For example, if I make a compilation of every single Barry Bonds homeruns the clips of the games are copyrighted but the video I produced isn't a substitute for an actual baseball game so the resulting work is transformative even if none of the video footage has been altered.

The money spent during COVID ($13tn of various money printing and government intervention) was largely spent into the economy owned by rich people - who do you think owns your mortgage and the banks and your debts and the super markets etc.

The poor still spent most of their money, the rich did not buy more yachts and expensive meals and attending "charity" galas etc. so what would usually be a circular flow became a direct increase in the wealth of the rich and direct decrease in the wealth of the poor. The inflation we see now is going to remain for a while but in the end prices over the next 3-5 years will nearly double and wages will remain the same.

The rich just increased their wealth and the working person got dramatically poorer. Poor people in the UK can't even afford food and Internet but at least the rich have never had it so good. Tax the rich.

> electricity is so useful, and has the property of colocating emissions at the generation plant, that I don't see a lot of reason not to use it for all forms of heating and transportation

Microwave ovens are fine for reheating take-out and commercially-prepared packaged processed food. For cooking your own meals a gas range is preferred. Electric is OK for a home baking oven.

Same with transportation. If all you're doing is putting around in the city electric vehicles are fine. The minute you're more than 100 km from the nearest suburban mall they're impractical, especially in temperate climates that have a winter.

> DuckDB has some very cool features, but I with the community were less abrasive.

I’m on the Discord and the community in my experience has been anything but “abrasive”. I’m just a random guy and yet I’ve received stellar and patient help for many of my naive questions. Saying they are abrasive because they’re not willing to build something seems so entitled to me.

Focused engineering teams have to be willing to say no in order to achieve excellence with limited bandwidth. I’m glad they said no when they did so they could deliver quality on DuckDB.

I certainly think ORC is a good thing to say no too - in my years of working in this space I’ve only rarely encountered ORC files (technically ORC is superior to Parquet in some ways but adoption has never been high)

Also realize that the team is not being paid by the people who ask for new features. If you’re willing to pay them on a retainer through DuckDB labs then you can expect priority, otherwise the sentiment expressed in your comment just seems so uncalled for.

>80% decrease in foreign orders, 20% official youth unemployment rate, 50% reduction in home prices, 80% decrease in government land sales

I do not find these figures to be credible. They would an indicate a cataclysmic, wartime level sort of economic collapse that I see no evidence of.

Since you post this kind of stuff all the time, I can't help but feel that you have an axe to grind. Not that I would blame you for hating the Chinese government, but still... are you sure that you are not being irrational about its prospects?
They are doing that for quantum computing. But 20 years is about right.

Draegers is probably the most expensive grocery store I have ever set foot in. The one near San Mateo has a crazy wine selection sometimes but I literally cannot fathom buying a week's groceries there. Beautiful produce, but you can get beautiful produce at a farm stand for a couple bucks too.

If a company embodied the values you profess here, I would boycott them.

I think actually it would be prudent to completely write off the type of (non) customer you describe here, and save oneself the trouble of dealing with them.
