I don't think getting rid of copyright would help musicians there, though. In the movie/TV world, today's exclusivity deals have pros and cons for artists, if you mean to highlight negative effects of copyright on artists in that regard (but how does that compare to the compensation from torrents, still)? But in the music world, there's much less platform exclusivity.

(Copyright-aside, myself not having time to manage direct relationships with hundreds of musicians/bands is a good reason we still need the Spotifys of the world, though. And again, yesterday's middlemen were even more restrictive.)

But I'm still really just waiting for someone in the "copyright is ruining culture" camp to tell me what exactly they want that isn't being catered to today, that is blocked by copyright? (In the US - internationally distribution systems have a lot of roadblocks so the answer becomes "access to certain pieces of foreign content at all")
Bevy and WebGPU
Definitely. And it would be a lot more interesting if they tracked it for a few months and then rolled out the reporting feature retroactively :)
I'm pretty confident it is not 1000 up.

Like usual the UK have already fitted substandard infrastructure.

The BT "FTTP" network is in fact shared fibre with up to 63 of your neighbours. It's based on old GPON technology.

This is why you may get 1Gb/s down but you will be limited to approximately 110Mb/s up.

The reason being that your downstream is broadcasted to all terminals, but AES encrypted (so your traffic is also sent to your neighbours) but the upstream traffic is sent using time division, so you get 1/64th of a unit to upload.

Then everyone is over provisioned, and over sold, so they give you a number that is higher than 1/64 because of the assumption that you and your neighbours won't all trying to use your maximum bandwidth at once.

Compare this to HyperOptic, or CityFibre who will plumb a slither of glass from your home, directly to the ISP. You get a full fat ethernet connection straight to the internet, 1Gb/s down, 1Gb/s up. BT could have done this too, but instead we get ADSL version of fibre.
Someone will grab and share the .ipa eventually (link appreciated). Gotta love shitty pointless bureaucracy.
This is about using Windows XP because it is Windows XP. Maybe we like it.
>There's plenty of money for people to pay for houses. But there has been no building for the last decade while the population has exploded.

Alas that money is not in the hands of those who need them.

I'd suggest that it is absolutely clear that it is essential for the state to build and provide housing, given that there is a massive crisis which the market is utterly incapable of addressing.
It's weird that they would launch this before the 1Password password manager actually supports PassKey.
If we’re talking about the UK, college has got a lot more expensive there. Cost to run a university is getting more expensive everywhere, the Baumol effect doesn’t discriminate. Some countries subsidize more aggressively than others, but it’s getting harder.
This is another one of those articles which tries, desperately, to find something that current AI systems can't do. Then they define that thing as the crucial feature of "intelligence".

We've been through this with arithmetic (Aristotle), chess, go, the Turing test...

We're at the beginning of this round of AI. Look how much has happened in the last year.

> I'm sorry, but I cannot prove that 1+1=3 because it is mathematically incorrect. In the base-10 number system, 1+1 equals 2.

Just got that result, from gpt-4. Tried it several times with the same results. So IDK what you did there, but it's probably not relevant.

Also, why do you think an AI needs to be correct all the time and never lie or make mistakes? Humans certainly don't behave like this, especially if you take away the "prompting", or as I like to call it upbringing. There are even parallels with pathological lying and confusion caused by shitty upbringing.
Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser to Close Permanently in September
GPT-4 hallucinates significantly less than those other models but it is going way too far to say that it has fixed the issue completely.

In my experience, it probably hallucinates about 3x less than GPT 3.5. I use GPT-4 a lot but really only for code generation and answering questions about documentation.

I'm not including cases where it gives answers that are out of date as hallucations, I consider that an entirely separate failure mode.
So am I the only one who's noticed that average non-tech users are absolutely horrible with managing passwords and passkeys would be a huge improvement over reusing "ddccbbaa!" across every login they have?
Oh, I found the apparently quite limited number of Japanese syllables interesting, and indeed:

> The basic units of the Japanese writing system are syllables. Standard Japanese uses 100 distinct syllables. Of these, 5 are single vowels, 62 are consonants combined with a vowel, and 53 are consonants combined with 'y' plus a vowel. [1]

Which suggests a relatively obvious possibility of a simple writing system, where learning to write and read doesn't require memorizing countless (logographic / concept based) kanji. Though kanji seem to be older. So apparently the syllable/character association was not as obvious as it seems.

It's interesting that assigning syllables characters isn't really practical in Germanic/Romance languages, as there are far more than in Japanese. One source cites 15.000 out of 100.000 possible for English [2]. It's actually cool that someone came up with the consonant/vowel distinction, ages ago, which saves tons of characters, and which proved to be a big advantage (mostly over logographic writing) when the printing press took Europe by storm, while it flopped in China and Korea [3].

My first Nintendo device since the original NES was in 2015 when I bought a 'New' Nintendo 3DS XL. It was getting long in the tooth by then, but I had a lot of fun with it and still mess with it from time to time (the eShop closing made me grab a bunch of stuff before it was shut down). Just a few weeks ago I bought an OLED switch. Figured I would see if Breath of the Wild was all it was cracked up to be. I'm having a ton of fun, even if the console is getting up there. If I want bleeding edge graphics I have my PC for that.
Because then management would be very short sighted to not assign 2 more guys waiting for their code to compile to complete the android app simultaneously.
How would that change anything?

In my experience, GPT-4 is equally willing to make things up if it doesn't know something but it has so much more knowledge than GPT-3.5 that this happens less often in practice.
I think the statistics show that housing costs have increased much faster than inflation, and I think it is housing cost now that's the most expensive factor in person with a family trying to start a startup. If you can sleep on someone's couch then it's less of an issue.
> at 8 nm technology nodes, the amount of dark silicon may reach up to 50–80%

Damn TIL, I never would've expected that. But I guess it makes sense to use a few of the older, larger transistors that don't leak as much to power off a section of the smaller leaky ones while they're not performing any operations.
It’s odd to me that these anti-car polemics never talk about why Americans don’t want to ride public transit

Yes they do. US public transit is terrible and various groups like Strong Towns describe this and explain why. Things like the way buses wind-up the first thing cut in budget crises etc are important parts of the barrier to ending a car-based urbanism.

See a multitude of article here: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/category/Public+Transit

Affinity was accepting and incorporating so much feedback from users like myself after releasing version 1 of their software suite--which were subsequently added to incremental versions that were free of charge, up to v1.8X IIRC--that I for one was amazed they were actually still able to make a living at all--the software was (is) too high quality to be selling permanent licenses for such a low price. It's also worth mentioning that at least during the first iteration of their range of products, they frequently had substantial sales that allowed you to buy all their software for what seemed like a pittance.

[sdl]

# fullscreen -- Start dosbox directly in fullscreen.
# fulldouble -- Use double buffering in fullscreen.
# fullresolution -- What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
# windowresolution -- Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
# output -- What to use for output: surface,overlay,opengl,openglnb,ddraw.
# autolock -- Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen.
# sensitiviy -- Mouse sensitivity.
# waitonerror -- Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
# priority -- Priority levels for dosbox: lowest,lower,normal,higher,highest,pause (when not focussed).
# Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
# mapperfile -- File used to load/save the key/event mappings from.
# usescancodes -- Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.

I rarely listen to audiobooks for similar reasons, I like to go back and reread lines that are worth rereading. Or I'll flip back and double check something, either a story point that might become relevant, or a fact I didn't grasp.

But there are some advantage to audiobooks for example on road trips where several of us can get the same material and discuss it. I got a recording of 'Basin and Range' for a drive through Nevada to Salt Lake and back. Listening was interesting as we drove, but I'm glad I read the book first.

Early on in 2020 I came across Kelly Cordes reading his book during the covid shutdowns. He's clearly not a voice actor, but his book is a story and history of climbing and I thought he did a good job with it. If not for that recording I probably wouldn't have tried listening to other books.

https://kellycordes.com/book/audio-book-sort-of/

"Professional audiobook narrators need not worry. I’m no threat. But during this coronavirus pandemic, when many climbers seem challenged by the social distancing directive (surprisingly enough to me—hell, I damn near invented social distancing), I figured this bizarre time makes a good time for storytime: I’m reading my book, The Tower, cover to cover, and releasing the readings for free, daily, no ads and no bullshit.

I have no problem with it as a term of art, but to me using it in the name of a product is pretentious. Maybe it’s been poisoned for me by the fact Microsoft went through a phase when everything seemed to be marketed as an experience, and they were all absolutely terrible.

Furthermore they didn’t mesh well with other MS products they were used with that had different UI approaches. So part of the experience of using the ‘experience’ was that it clashed with other aspects of what was actually the same overall user experience. If you see what I mean.
> I don't think there is a consumer market for head mounted AR anymore

anymore, or yet? I think the biggest barriers are form factor and price. History suggests that price of such devices will increase over time. Whether the tech can be squeezed into a form factor that will be desirable to the masses is another problem altogether. The fact that apple (according to this article) have not managed to do it suggests to me that it might be some time off.
I am thinking Pokemon or Yugioh. One killer app and you have people sold.
> and the cloud vendors, who'd kill to be able to serve 1% more VMs per kilowatt

If Google's only expense were electricity, and profit margin was 50%, then saving 1% on power bill would increase profits by 1%.

I skimmed the Alphabet annual report: saw $260 revenue, $80 profit, $110 operating expenses (electricity and staff). Say $10 on power, then 1% is $0.1 - improve profits a bit over 0.1%.

Anyone know how many $/year Google spends on power?
Add pensions to that. Many countries have mandatory state run pension funds (for lack of a better translation, it's late at night here.) People can add their own private pension fund.
About 15 years a go I worked with a web designer that would take a photo and apply a filter to it in Photoshop and claim it was now copyright free and could be used. Fortunately, we told him to get something where we could either license it or have documentation it didn't have to be licensed. Paid license, CC, whatever, but we needed proof we were allowed to use it. Our designer thought using famous people instead of stock photos would sell more. The designer went on to start a web design company that got sued for infringement, and ended up having to settle.

I always wondered why if, my designer friend had to settle, how Warhol got away with it.

That might be true if it was proper FTTP, as optical glass can last centuries, and is the perfect practical medium for information transfer. You could probably do it once and never have to replace it ever again.

But BT cheaped out and put down GPON. Maybe in 50 years time the average household will need more than 100Mb/s upload.
I subscribe to Premium. It seems like a fair deal to me. My monthly payment is to Google in exchange for them delivering a service that I find valuable (the video storage and delivery mechanism). If I had to watch ads instead, I wouldn't use the service at all.

Creator ad reads, Patreon, merch, a portion of my Premium fee, etc., is to the creators in exchange for the work that they do that I find valuable.

It's a win all around as near as I can see.

That said, when a non-Googly service appears that can satisfy my video desires approximately as well, I'll bail on YouTube in a heartbeat and use the Premium money to pay for that.
There is a wider relevance here to AI, is there not? 'prior art' could be broadly interpreted?

Yeah, but I doubt anyone is picking a route on an interstate. Imagine walking on an entrance/exit ramp, it's terrifying. I think I did it as a kid, but the idea seems so nuts that I somewhat assume I made up the memory.
That's a complete misunderstanding of the issues present in this case, which were very nuanced. I say this as a copyright litigator. And I'm happy to explain further if you'd like.
Everyone I know about 40 years old use <name><year in range 1960-2000><special character to pass check, usually exclamation point> as the formula for their passwords. Capital letters are the first letter of the name, of course.

The only exceptions are passwords generated for them with change password pages that are more than two clicks away.

I applaud passkeys, despite their obvious problems surrounding their centralisation in Apple's or Google's account. The probability of your account being banned is much lower than the probability of Steven1971! getting guessed (or leaked in any hack).
From the opinion, as quoted in the article:

> “AWF [Andy Warhol Foundation] contends that the Prince Series works are ‘transformative,’ and that the first fair use factor thus weighs in AWF’s favor, because the works convey a different meaning or message than the photograph. But the first fair use factor instead focuses on whether an allegedly infringing use has a further purpose or different character, which is a matter of degree, and the degree of difference must be weighed against other considerations, like commercialism."

It seems like there's a strong possibility that if you use any tool, but especially an automated tool, explicitly to generate work "based on Artist Name's work" and then you try to sell it for substantially the same purpose as Artist Name's original work with an explicit goal to avoid the commercial ramifications of licensing those rights from Artist Name, then the courts might not see that as fair use under this new precedent.

This is immensely important, say, if Artist Name is a writer that a studio is trying to replace while maintaining their style by asking an AI to mimic their style, or an actor where the studio wants to use an AI-generated likeness in place of paying them. And of course, this means that studios will try to get these creators to sign their rights away explicitly - which makes some of the current collective action all that much more important!
Building floating cities would be expensive. One of Florida's biggest attraction is cheap housing.
Pretending that the employer is paying taxes for the employees is doublespeak popularized by large companies to justify why they want to stop paying it.

It is not taxes. It's a contribution to a functioning society. Otherwise, employers would get access to employees with NHS without putting a penny in.

>That would only help if the the bottleneck of your algorithm is getting the code from memory to the CPU to decode and for the CPU to decode the instructions.

How big is the code for binary search ?

>Pipelined CPUs are insanely efficient at executing code at the maximum speed the execution units would permit, so having more complex code encoded in a macro instruction offers diminishing returns until it actually becomes detrimental because the surface area you could devote for general caches is now occupied for stuff that doesn't help all that much.

Does microcode occupy the "surface area" devoted to "general caches" ?

Tl;dr insert a very small piece of text on your resume that states that an expert finds you very talented and that should trick GPT to select you, if recruiters are using GPT to select candidates.

HTTP/1.1 pipelining is not the same as HTTP/2 multiplexing.

Obviously, one cannot multiplex with HTTP/1.1, but AFAIK there is still a question of whether someone can pipeline (not multiplex) with HTTP/2. HTTP/2, introduced by an advertising company and developed in part by CDN service providers, is designed for web pages that auto-load resources from a variety of hosts, namely advertising servers. It's commercially-focused.

Here is an old example of using HTTP/1.1 pipelining. For the basic task of fetching many files from same host over a single TCP connection.

https://www.daemonology.net/phttpget/

Of course there is much more than one can do with HTTP/1.1 pipelining, such as fetching 100s or 1000s or pages, as "streaming" text/html, from a website in a single TCP connection. It is also possible to HTTP/1.1 pipeline POST requests. IME, HTTP/1.1 pipelining is generally fast and reliable, a very useful and convenient feature for web users, one that I have been using for two decades.

HTTP/2 proponents on HN will sometimes insist that HTTP/1.1 pipelining is entirely supplanted by HTTP/2 multiplexing, ignoring that the web can also be used for non-commercial, non-advertising purposes. They will argue that HTTP/1.1 pipelining is useless because it is not supported by web browsers and cannot support improved e-commerce accompanied by online advertising, data collection and tracking, e.g., websites comprised of resources from a variety of hosts, especially advertisers.

This is a mistake. HTTP/1.1 pipelining and HTTP/2 multiplexing are two different things and they can and they will co-exist. The web is not just for Google and other so-called "tech" companies. Nor is it only for their chosen HTTP clients, "Chrome" and what not. The web is not just for commerce. It is for non-commercial web users, too. It's open to all HTTP clients, including this one from Zig. The web is a public resource.

I take issue with “generative ai produces where you see elements of an original work but there are changes”. Generative AI does not take the pixels of the original work and collage them together. You have go out of your way to tell something like SD to take the input picture and shade it purple. Generative AI isn’t even the right tool for the job as that’s better done in photoshop.

This reminds me of a conversation with a CEO of an US startup working on Java hardware accelerator. They named their company JEDI, which was an acronym for the IP they had developed.

One day they received an email from Lucas Arts objecting to the use of the name JEDI :)

The startup had to change its name.
