Lukewarm take: Copyright is based on mass freedom infringement. If you publish something, you should be prepared for others to reproduce it and take it without credit. This is particularly true on mediums like the internet, where the net cost of copying data is effectively nothing.

I'll entertain arguments from either side of the infringement debate, but this opinion piece reads more like a reactionary defense of copyright rather than a measured response. These damages are... not that significant. It feels like Big Tech swooping in to defend Open Source not because they care about freedom, but because without it they would have no software. But instead of copyleft, it's copyright. Hmm.
I wish you could specify the x-height of a font in CSS. If you mix serif and sans serif you want them to look like they have the same size. It would have been nice if the default browser fonts were selected to have the same x-height.

OK, let's take a look at traffic fatalities in Denmark (where bicycles are the primary means of transport in most cities). 25 bicycle fatalities, compared to 64 auto fatalities. It's a much closer margin, but bicycles still win out. The statistics are similar in The Netherlands, where bicycles are equally popular.

The claim that Quizlet is solely designed for the purposes of cheating is unfounded in my opinion. It doesn't look like it at first glance anyway.

I'm not even sure what a website designed to enable cheating would look like to be honest, but that's because I have no expectation that I'd be able to access the internet during an exam, and because I consider any study of related materials fair game before the exam begins. You'd have to get an answer sheet of the actual exam up front before I start to consider it iffy.
Boards pressure people like Bezos to step down all the time, often due to public scrutiny.

I know no one is promoting Bezos. I'm just saying it's ridiculous how Bezos gets to white-wash incidents like this while causing untold harm to society, while Eich legitimately was furthering good causes in good ways and a single personal superficial detail prevented him from continuing to do that.

StarCraft is a great example because we can talk about it now without the threat of ultras. Like its audience has gone away, people only feel nostalgia for it but they don't really play it anymore. It's easier to talk about the objectively bad and clunky things about it.

I personally don't think micro, as it exists in StarCraft, is interesting or even worthy. It only made that game harder in ways that were not fun. Which is too bad, because it was a phenomenally engineered RTS engine (starting with WC3) that brought us many other game formats in its custom scenarios.

Compare to Supreme Commander, which had very sophisticated pathfinding and in my memory more interesting micro. Compare to all MOBA formats, where if you're going to have WC3/SC style micro, you might as well focus on micro of one unit. There were many ideas that came after StarCraft that are in an important way, objectively better.

It has a lot of other clunk. The way you have to manage resource gathering. The unit building queues and how spending occurs. The spellcasting. The selections. It has so much legacy.

StarCraft 2 had to cater to a very specific eSports skill base that probably led to it going into the same level of obscurity as EverQuest: Gen X people still have strong nostalgic feelings for it, but they don't play EVE Online, they're not 20 anymore with oodles of time and no responsibilities, they don't want hard permadeath single instance experiences. They want something much gentler but they still feel very positively about like, this one clunky thing they may have mastered a long time ago when their brain power was so much more plastic.

Is the AoEII engine similarly as worthy as SC2, like from a technical engineering point of view? In my opinion, no. So besides the existence of an ultra audience, I don't think there's a good reason to celebrate the crappy pathfinding anymore.

That is for sure a broken system. I would not feel comfortable telling users they are wrong, even if the numbers were 10 out of 1000 or less. But we might be talking about different things. I gave the example of developers building a hopefully secure system, not users using it. If your point is that developers are users of languages, and that 1 in 1000 succeeds in building a secure system, then indeed languages are broken. But are you really arguing against input sanitization?

How are you maintaining your oil at $100 a year?

I have two ICE vehicles and I change the oil for each myself according to the manufacturers' recommended maintenance schedules. Changing the oil for one car, once, costs $42 for oil and $16 for the filter. The yearly cost for one car with a 7500 mile recommendation is about $116 (two total changes a year typically, though it looks like I did it three times last year for that vehicle).

I've had a Model 3 for 2 years now. Total cost of ownership (excluding insurance and registration fees): $1578. That's ALL costs, including electricity used to charge the battery. The majority of those costs: a set of new tires at $1050.

As far as a lack of after market parts go: what parts would you expect to see on the after market? The things one needs to buy for a Tesla are represented quite well in the after market. Tires, brake pads, cabin air filters - plenty to choose from, and widely available at any auto parts store. Tell me more about this "significant gap" of after market parts.

I find LLMs to be very good at helping me figure out what I need to google search when I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. I can describe my problem from my perspective and it'll propose solutions that I can then go verify by searching and reading up on 'em.

Before, I'd often end up going down the wrong rabbit hole when I would try to write out my problem in a google-able manner.
That counts as a question, I guess.

> With heavy immigration fueled by U.S. immigration law changes in 1965 and the influx of over 700.000 Indochinese refugees since the Vietnam War ended

Do you think those “Indochinese refugees” were affluent educated professionals?

The 1965 Act actually caused a decrease in the percentage of Asians working in high skill jobs: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2018/07/12/income-... (“The surge in Asian immigration followed the Immigration and Nationality Act in 1965, which favored family reunification, and the end to the war in Vietnam in 1975, which brought in a wave of refugees. One result was that the share of new Asian immigrants working in high-skill occupations decreased from 1970 to 1990, and the share working in low-skill occupations increased.”). It wasn’t until the 1990 H1B changes that this trend reversed.

But these low Asian groups nonetheless did well. In the 1970s, Vietnamese Americans had a poverty rate higher than black Americans. Today, they have a lower poverty rate and higher median income than white Americans.

And even the skilled immigrants during that period didn’t come here with portable “wealth, income, and formal education” as stated above. The class people you’re thinking of—the children of wealthy business people in India and China who send their kids to go to school in America—was virtually non-existent in the 1960s through the 1980. That class is a product of India and China’s exponential growth since the 1990s. Being wealthy before that meant being like my mom’s family in Bangladesh—having land and social status, neither of which was very portable to America.

> I don't know why you are doing this but you're not contributing positively to the site.

Why are you so invested in the myth that Asian Americans are successful in the US primarily because of selective immigration? Why do you want to erase the—well documented—experience of all the Asians who came to the US as refugees or based on family reunification and went from poverty to being middle class or affluent?

> That's not how it would be in a war. Their usage would be exactly zero, and then basically continuous. Not bursty at all - more like off, and then full on.

IDK, I see it quite likely that even close to single-shot capability would be good enough. For the kind of a war where you need defence from ICBMs or hypersonic missiles, the active phase of that war has always been expected to last something like half an hour, as both sides launch all the missiles due to the 'use-it-or-lose-it' mechanic where your launch platforms expect to be destroyed by incoming fire and have to spend all their munitions before enemy missiles arrive; and the active phase of a missile defence is even shorter - a few minutes, as most of the arsenal would be launched in a single wave to overwhelm any defences.

So if a satellite needs a month of charging to top up its batteries after some test firing, that's as good as if it needed just an hour; it should be optimized for peak performance of a single relatively short burst of shots, and one with a very fast reaction time - you don't get five minutes of warning to start and spin up a huge generator.

Yeah I think I remember seeing that, we did this around 6 months ago so not many actual applications used the newer version of electron, although IIRC a lot of electron applications don't update electron itself super frequently.

I might try wayland again, I'm just really frustrated with it. It's always been advertised to be better then X, and 15 years in it's still a rocky mess (as of ~6 months ago).

This isn't 100% waylands fault - but nvidia cards seem to add extra issues. I need CUDA support so AMD is not an option.
I keep getting LLVM confused with LLM. So I assumed this was a LLM fine-tuned for writing M68k assembly code somehow.

Not sure about M68k but maybe there is an 8 bit system with enough documented assembly code and combining that with the text of the manuals.. maybe there is a way to somehow make a text-to-8bit assembly program AI model.
I love the irony that the students were cheating in an Ethics class.

As for entrapment, it's no different from leaving your front door unlocked being entrapment for thieves (it isn't). The cheaters are adults, know what cheating is, know they cheated, and know what the consequences are. No sympathy. Give them all an F for the course.

And this is why the word intelligent is useless. In your use of the word we're not getting anywhere then suddenly terminator kicks in the door and steps on your head and then "Oh, yea, I guess we reached the intelligent point". This is a piss poor predictor of capabilities.

And again "reasonable" is a pretty useless metric. Asking a 'reasonable' person about any system that requires expert knowledge to understand is going to derive an unreasonable answer. This is because they'll conflate intelligence with human behavior.

The time for copyright has long passed anyway. It's not clear to me that any infringement actually takes place in training AI, and I think we've all seen the arguments. But even if it did, it just means that "infringement" is a stupid construct that needs to be done away with. Intellectual property as a whole is a failed experiment that doesn't actually spur creation, which the the argued point for why the rest of us give up natural rights.

FWIW, the author appears to be the founder or former founder of Licensy - you can guess what it's about, so I wouldn't take the article as a neutral legal opinion anyway.

Copyright infringement is when you take copyrighted work and distribute it directly, or so close to directly that it can't be said to be "transformative".

Obviously LLM outputs are transformative, so this argument falls completely flat. As the writer is a copyright lawyer, it's hard to conclude anything other than they are knowingly lying, or at minimum wishcasting what they want the law to say instead of what it does say.

I think the misconception stems from the laymen understanding of copyright clipping off the last part of that sentence so it's just "Copyright infringement is when you take copyrighted work".
