> One example is the Outer Space Weapons Ban treaty - we can have a similar ban of AI in militaries

It's extremely unclear, in fact, whether such a ban would be enforceable.

Detecting outer space weapons is easy. Detecting whether a country is running advanced AIs in their datacenter is a lot harder.
I'm in the same boat! I dislike the current state of E-Mail clients and while there's an uncountable amount of servers, I can't really find any clients.
No. It’s not reasoning in any way. It’s an impressive parrot.
Keep in mind that you'd probably need to be contractor to work for the company (as it costs money to get employer of record, never mention employer contribution) so you should give that amount a hefty discount.
Well, that's not exactly how it works. You don't even need to register a trademark to have common law rights to avoid source confusion. You have to use the mark though or you lose the rights, that much is true. But the only way you lose the right to enforce altogether is if you have some kind of unregistered mark and let it expire.
And even if everything you said was exactly right, they still don't have to enforce the trademark in every case to protect their rights.
As long as they keep making Rust, they own the rights to call a programming language Rust and they have the right to be identified as the official source and as long as they perfect their rights, they can use it to stop others from using it in certain cases, if they want. There's not really a "waiver" issue except in edge cases.
Things only become "common names" in the case (or at least it used to be) that they become generic terms in the language, like "Hey, go xerox this, get me a kleenex, and then google something." Rust will never be able to expand its mark quite like that because it is a generic term in other uses, such as iron oxide. They will not be able to control the production of iron oxide or who calls it rust.
So the whole "that's just how this works" defense is either one given by an apologist or someone who is just wrong.
The ape pattern is proving self destructive.
Exactly. Legitimate can mean "conforming to the laws" in which case law avoidance can't (usually) be legitimate, but I was taking the secondary meaning of "able to be defended with logic or justification" e.g., it allows something that couldn't otherwise be done (currently).

A government that fully supported an actual digital cash that was untraceable (perhaps this is best done with crypto, but you can do it without a blockchain) would serve the same purpose.

Right! That makes sense. I guess you still need some technical knowledge though.
> So I believe where things have settled is sellers making less than they want to make from sales through Amazon and, bizarrely, more than they intended to make through sales on their own sites, because they can't set a lower price than their Amazon one.

So companies are making less on the products they sell through Amazon because as you say "sellers want to do is pass that fee on to the customer" but can't because Amazon's policies prevent this and this bad for the consumer because?

You also didn't explain why businesses are forced to use Amazon. Is it not possible for companies to just not sell if they can't charge the consumer 10% more as they would like?

I would really like to see encrypted email integrated with this and with Fastmail.
[disclosure: I'm the founder of Snaplet]

I think there are a lot of different reasons why people may want to use a service like bit.io, but if you want a database with data in it to code against, run tests against, reproduce production related data-bugs, and run e2e tests against then check out https://www.snaplet.dev.
2. You should be running multiple Selenium instances (or equivalent) in parallel even on your machine (unless you run out of memory or CPUs).

3. Exactly. This is not a problem in Elixir. If it takes 3 minutes to render a request, all other incoming requests will progress and multiplex accordingly across multiple CPUs and IO threads. This also has a direct impact on the latency point brought up earlier.

Off the top of my head:

LAX: walking paths and signalized crosswalks get you all the way to the hotels east of Sepulveda, or take the free shuttle to the cell phone lot and order from there.

SJC: Cross the parking garage to the bike path and from there cross the street. Or just walk down the bike path

ORD, MDW: Free shuttle to the rental car facility, or take the L one stop.

MSN: kind of a long walk, but there are sidewalks the whole way

SLC: take the light rail one stop

PSP: dunno why you’d want to walk in the heat, but it’s a short walk on sidewalks to El Cielo Road

Bear in mind: The minimum wage retail staff that run all the stuff in the airport can’t really afford to pay even economy lot parking rates, so basically every large airport has some kind of public transportation if you know how to look for it.
Most of the "solutions" in history were to just let unfortunate people suffer and look away while they cry out.

Interestingly, pyrolizing biomass produces energy and solid carbon that can be sequestered. So while it produces less energy than burning biomass, it's energy positive and carbon negative if you bury the carbon output.

So gathering and heating biomass as a resource isn't necessarily the wrong general idea.

IANAL (ya see what I did there?), but probably not necessary as a legal requirement. I always viewed it as “juuust in case that you think I’m a lawyer offering legal advice because I almost sound like I know what I’m talking about, I am neither a lawyer, nor do I know what I’m talking about” courtesy to the reader.

I cannot imagine getting pulled into court because I recommended someone file in small claims court for $PROBLEM, and didn’t put “IANAL”.

Out of interest, do you find many working on software projects at hacker spaces? Each one I've looked at online seems to have more of a focus on hardware, electronics, metal/wood working with little mention of software. The caveat is that I've only really looked at UK based ones so this may be regional.

I've been trying to find a space that has a similar energy as my old university CS lab. There was a bit of a perfect time in my final year, whereafter 2+ years most people seemed to know each other and at the same time everyone was specialising in their degree. So you could walk into the lab and find people working deep in their own game engine code, others would be working on ML models and others may be working on mobile apps or websites. But with a sense of overall camaraderie and sharing of what you're working on and why.

I suppose it just sounds like I'm describing something like a WeWork but when I've attended those they seem much more employee focused and I rarely saw employees of different companies talk to each other.

I also realise that some of what I describe is often fulfilled by talking to others at your workplace, I'm fully remote so I am missing out on that part.

If anyone knows of anything similar to what I describe above in or near London feel free to reach out to the email in my profile!
This assumes it doesn't slow down velocity/introduce time wasted with bureaucracy/trying to keep 2 separate codebases in sync/timelines/initiatives, etc.
Maybe you should have smaller goals, because you're achieving squat.

Your personal biggest problems appears to be that the person doing it is you.
If it becomes generic it might as well be, but that's not the issue here. Anyway, the parent post has a google jd in trademark law and doesn't know what he's talking about, but you can't enforce your TM the same way, or if at all, if has become generic.
The main way you lose tm rights is by not using the mark.
we're really at this point aren't we.
I don't understand your logic - you specifically target someone who is highlighting all the scams that is being uncovered in the crypto world. You ask them to come on your show to talk about crypto (generating content for you and increasing your viewership) and then you think that because they aren't interested in helping you out your specific interests that somehow equates to she isn't interested in broad conversations?

You want to bring her on the show to generate your own clout under the guise or maybe honestly finding solutions and are airing personal emails to tarnish their reputation.

I don't think that's the greatest way to treat potential guests.
They just need an IMAP/SMTP <-> JMAP bridge. This allows (small) providers to add support without much effort and there's suddenly a demand for clients (and vice versa good clients will increase demand for JMAP support).

The website lists jmap-proxy (https://github.com/jmapio/jmap-perl) Its age, technology choice and lack of documentation aren't exactly confidence inspiring, however.

Stalwart (https://github.com/stalwartlabs/imap-server/) seems to include a proxy feature (for both, though it's non-obvious to discover) and be better maintained.

A functioning proxy is make or break for me. If it works I can jump right into making a client, if it doesn't there's no point.
This is good, and I hope it stands. Once you demonstrate that you are in fact a citizen of the US, you cannot be denied entry, and IMO all the regular Constitutional protections should immediately apply.
All IT problems are 90% similar... it's the last 10% difference that is 9000% of the work!

I think part of the problem is human networking limitations. I can learn to code very well and can become a core contributor on a project. The problem is my understanding doesn't scale well. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow that project could die. I could leave the project and it could flounder. Now, lets say you add 3 people as good as me on that project... the problem is the project will grow 4 times as large leading to every one of us becoming a critical failing point. Any time you want to bring a new core contributor in, it's a massive undertaking of time and effort to get them up to speed.
The entire hooks "thing" felt like a case of the library authors being too clever.

Having components with lifecycle methods called at known times by the framework is a perfectly straightforward mental model. It's worked just fine since the beginning of time. iOS still uses it.

I remember investing hours (and days and weeks) migrating old code to the "new way" or trying to get some simple thing "working with hooks." Other than being able to share in the authors' feeling of smugness over the unnecessarily-convoluted mental model when we finally got it all working, I genuinely can't recall any value we got out of the whole investment.
The Obscuritory - Odd, lesser-known games and software
This sounds interesting and if you're really "giving up" on the idea, perhaps you could "open source" everything. People could take it and make a "restaurant website in a box" that could deploy directly to GitHub pages, even.
Yeah it's [poor phrasing](https://twitter.com/tylermcginnis/status/1663648010558132224) on our part. How it's being interpreted vs how I thought it would be interpreted are different. We'll update it.

There is nothing like "zero cost". Everything has a cost. Engineering is dealing with trade-offs.
Apple watch only checks oxygen levels every hour or so, and only if you are completely still.
On the other hand, how much of that is actually making it into the mainstream? Although, it's debatable how much of a "mainstream" there even is, any more.
Not to be preachy, but I'd second this. I don't really attend anymore, but for a while, my local church was a safe haven from the stresses of both my professional and personal life.

That said, over time I found it impossible to reconcile my church's teachings with my own values, and haven't found another that I'd be more comfortable with. But I would never deny that they were a crucial part of me rebuilding my life when I was on the ropes.

For anyone who isn't particularly religious, if you live in a fairly big city, you can probably find some faith group that aligns with your values, whatever they may be. In smaller towns and communities, you kinda get what you get.
It is a right action by Amazon towards companies that have stock due to the discrepancy between the value of the goods and the real price that these same products are sold on Amazon by companies with the same profile
Hallucinations. Larger, better trained, multimodal models are needed. All current image generation models are too small to be usable in serious settings.

Until you have all that, you can minimize the hallucinations in the result. I have some tips to share (not for the music though).

-1. You still have to know how to draw, otherwise you won't have the eye to spot the "turds" nor skills to fix them. It will still be faster than drawing absolutely everything by hand.

0. Don't use Midjourney for anything complex. It hallucinates well and gives good first impression, but it's simply not suited for anything that has complex composition and lots of meaningful detail that need to be controlled like the examples in the article.

1. Finetune your model on its own output and your own work.

2. Use higher order guidance, not just text. Besides the fact that current models don't understand the natural language well (let alone your intent), text is inherently unsuited for explaining artistic intent. Use controlnets on your sketches, latent noise spatial composition, and other similar tricks - they are just better at that, faster, and more precise.

3. Don't generate everything in one piece, photobash. Make complex compositions out of simpler objects. The model can't keep the track of too much stuff. Use automated workflows to save time (otherwise what's the point?). Check out ComfyUI for a powerful node-based editor - create a pipeline once and use it many times. Use plugins for the common software like Photoshop, Krita, Blender, Houdini etc.

4. Fix your errors manually. If your work is complex, it will be faster.

>But I feel like something that gets lost in the discussion of AI-generated artwork is the turds.

No, it's not. It's the major obstacle in the current models, and gets a lot of attention.
No, that still misses the mark entirely. We are in a thread about archive.org's server being hit too hard, someone proposed they should offer distributed downloads via torrent, and someone commented asking for "a way to keep them alive regardless of interest".

You are proposing a system based on financial rewards for hosting. Who pays those rewards, for those files in which there is no interest? If archive.org is to pay for it, we are back to square one. They are already very good at hosting content, within the limits of the resources they have. If people with an interest in downloading the files pay for it, no go, files with no interest go away. If you propose that people currently abusing the free service of archive.org, to the point of bringing it down, would pay a fee per download, you must be joking.
"Upon request"

Scum.
You don't have to be a mustache-twirling villain to have the same effect.
Instead of generating a unique email per relationship, it'd be better if the email provider generated a unique key when the relationship is established that the customer or end user can revoke.

Email me at my well known identity "whoever@whatever.com" -> my provider gives you a key that you must store and continue to use for the duration of our relationship. I can terminate it if I want. If you lose the key, you must ask for a new one. If you ask too many times, I can silence you forever. You'll have to provide your own identity when asking.

For noisy environments, I can choose to give you the key upfront and only allow for that style of relationship.

I could imagine encoding the concept of entity or organization type into the keys as well so that we can distinguish individuals from companies. Professionals, academics, official employees, etc.

If you delegate your key to another party, I can choose to pre-authorize it, manually approve it, or outright deny it. Extend it haphazardly or without my consent and you may be blocked.

I'd like that type of system.

Emails shouldn't have to change. The protocol should. Getting parties onboard might be hard unless a key stakeholder (eg. Google) decides to implement this, but they're in a position to unilaterally dictate.

This seems like an actual bit of planning for the wealthy done not by themselves but their advisors. Some people might be down voting for it being cynical, but you know that those that have money have paid people to consider every possible angle at how to not only protect their money but turn a profit in situations that would otherwise devastate an average person.
> They also don't have to cater to special education students (although some private non-profit schools do, for sure), and they don't have to subsidize special education funding with normal student funding.

Yep, absolutely, and that part of their ability to select their students is a major factor in the "look, private schools can educate kids for less than public schools spend, with similar or better outcomes!" sort of stats that get passed around.

A fitness community.
This could be either a BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) place or even a CrossFit gym. I've done both and while I'm not here to promote CrossFit, I am here to say that a group fitness class is awesome for meeting other people and finding a community of people that do something similar as you, but have absolutely nothing to do with your work.

I workout with Police officers, Lawyers, Doctors, Dentists, Stay at home moms, Accountants, Students, other tech folks, etc, you name it they're all there.

There's something about "shared misery" that brings people together and builds a comrade. That turns into a community where you start to hang out with them out of the gym/etc.

This happens at any group fitness place where the same people show up at the same time to do the same thing. It's natural, organic and freeing.

I've moved across the country 3 times now and this is how I integrated into each area I moved into.
I assume you mean GLASS bottles (since the plastic ones are part of the current problem), we recycle about 1/3 of those in the US[1], but in the EU the rate is more than twice that at present[2].

It's an American statement, but it's also a professional statement. A lawyer is responsible for what they submit to the court in every legal system I'm aware of. An English judge isn't going to be forgiving of a lawyer who references cases that don't exist because that person didn't understand how ChatGPT works. The examples I cited aren't of average people believing dumb stuff that ChatGPT tells them (because I think we've seen very little harm caused by that) - they're cases in which someone used a tool they didn't understand in their work. It's fairly universal that when you're hired to do a job, you're expected to do so competently, and using tools you don't understand for your job is not doing it competently.
Where are the clients though?

Until Apple and Microsoft support it in their default clients, who will deploy it on the server?

> I think WASI and WASIX is an EXTREMELY important API for the future of computing. It's a chance to create a superior operating system runtime interface.

Superior operating system runtime interface and POSIX don't rhyme. The fossilization of POSIX on Unix-like systems, endlessly piling stuff on top of that creaky foundation is probably the single biggest issue holding back the future of computing.

WASIX is probably a pragmatic design if you want to run your existing Unix programs on top of WASM. If anything, it's for the past of computing.

That doesn't follow. It's like saying "if the AI can build a gun that can kill a human, it can build an anti-gun that can stop the gun".

There are lots of situations where offense and defense are asymmetrical.

So maybe the killer AI would need two months to build a time-delayed super-virus, and the defender AI would need two months to build a vaccine; if the virus takes less than two months to spread worldwide and activate, humanity is still dead.
