> I think artists who create original works should be given power to capture value produced by their labor

Nobody thinks artists should not have that power. The relevant question is should artists be able to impinge on the freedom of other people to do what they want.

If I am riding a bike, and you take my bike, that deprives me the use of said bike, and I have to take the bus. That is that theft looks like.

If I write a song and you copy the song and start charging audiences to come to a performance or sell a cd, I can still charge audiences to come to a performance or sell a cd.

In fact it is often the case that artists are more successful after someone has copied their work than before.

What a weird question, it really should be reversed shouldn't it?

But here goes. It's a language model. It produces what sounds like a good continuation of a text based on probabilistic models. While it sounds like human generated content, "it" doesn't actually "think". It doesn't have a culture. It doesn't have thoughts. "It" is a model that generates text that mimics what human whose text it has trained on would have answered. We humans have a tendency to associate that with a sentient thing producing it, but it is not sentient. It is a tree of probabilities with a bit of a randomization on top of it.

Ergo, it cannot reason.
Wait, so you curled a phishing link while connected to a corporate network and you didn't think that would be monitored? I am sorry but your company's security team is not doing well if you're surprised by this. What is your expectation if I may ask? Because I spend a LOT if time just looking at what what people are doing via email, endpoint and network logs (looking for malicious activity, don't care about their performance or going to naughty sites), do you not know that is happening?
I agree with the end you're talking about — respecting people who have difficult jobs — but I find the means bizarre. Can you not respect someone without having put yourself in the exact same position? Your default position should be empathy!

But you also glossed over an important point I'm trying to make: we should see suffering as a sometimes necessary evil and try to alleviate it whenever possible, rather than see it as some sort of virtue.
At the beginning of the covid it became popular to hire some companies that send those links, and then report back who opened them to you, so you could train the people.

You may have been caught in one of those exercises.

But anyway, always assume your workplace's VPN logs every access. The obvious retention period vary from one place to another, but the logs seem to always exist.
This is a very important part of the equation and I think many miss. "Work" is not well defined. I often ask what people would do if money wasn't an issue and they didn't have to have a job[0]. Most people end up answering that they'd pursue passions like art, volunteering, doing research, or other things that many call "work" but might not pay (after they say they'd travel and do other things like that, of course (follow-up is always required)). A lot of work is not quantified by traditional economic transactions (i.e. pay for work). People don't want to sit around and do nothing their entire lives. The other thing is people also seem to forget that this is exactly the situation those from generational wealth are in, and that the vast majority of them do some form of work. Yes, there are those that don't (especially while younger) but the majority do.

I have a very hard time buying the narrative that were people to not work to make a living that they'd be a net drain on society. I see little evidence. I also see this as claiming that a post-scarce society is impossible. This is also critical as we live in a time where the potential for a post-scarce world exists (robotic workers liberate humanity from labor). It is even critical if we live in a semi or limited post scarce world, which is the transitional period to a post scarcity society (we're possibly in this).

That's unacceptable, it's Windows levels of bloat.

Of course, Windows does something similar to maintain backwards compatibility with apps going all the way back to Windows 3.1, and does so pretty efficiently all things considered. Flatpack seems anything but efficient.
Fleet’s material condition keeps getting worse, new INSURV report says
I think it will be faster than python or perl, because the actual work is done by optimized c-code.

However if you want to extend the program from a toy to something that can handle words like "won't" "c-code" "a.i." or "naïve" then it will be quite difficult to do so.
The issue with comments like this is that many people are talking about the law as it is, and others are approaching it from a moral/solution-based point of view.

Legally, AI is likely free and clear since the work it outputs is vastly different from any one art piece, therefore not being a derivative work of anything else (unless you tell it to copy an artists' style AND ask it specifically to remake an artists' existing work with the intent to recreate it).

But morally, there are indeed externalities that can/should be thought of, and possible even put into law, but starting a discussion of this front is a losing game since everyone will have a different opinion on how much we should restrict, and whether it will even work (if you consider that China and Russia will forego any sort of copyright protection for AI generation, these laws could enable these countries to surpass the rest of the world in capability and quality).

I can highly recommend the Delta-01 Minuteman launch control facility in South Dakota, near Badlands National Park. Only 6 visitors at a time, so tickets are hard to come by. But it's an eerily awesome facility. Also the nearby visitor's center and missile silo are cool. But the launch control facility is the star of the show.

Also Trinity is worth visiting, although both a pain to get to and only open 2 days a year.
> requiring peer reviews

I didn’t say anything about peer reviews.

Regarding the rest of your comment:

- if you are committing to a branch directly that then immediately goes to production you are doing something horribly wrong

- having a formal process for code reviews is like making sure there is a formal process to make sure employees wear pants to work. If this sort of thing has to be policed by security settings in the dev environment, then something deeper is wrong.

I mostly work on safety critical code, so I know what it means to ship a mission critical code base.

Most of the things you allude to suggest that you’ve never worked with a competent release manager or qa organization.

Edit: also:

> There’s always a balance between security/quality control and productivity

This is only true for definitions of “productivity” that exclude security/quality control, which usually mean that things are so out of whack, it is time to find a new job. By definition, the “productive” people aren’t worrying about product quality, and are being promoted for it, so soon the organization will be run by people that sabotaged the business.
That's arguably fine in a free-market, this is not one.

And it's a weird argument to say that the price the government should pay is whatever the most any group is willing to pay for Starlink; The price segmentation, especially at the high-end, is mostly not based on cost to provide service but customer propensity to pay (boat and private jet owners). It doesn't make any sense to say "this is the special price we charge to Jeff Bezos and he doesn't care it's so high because he's rich therefore the government should also pay that price".

As I said elsewhere price rationing for priority doesn't make sense in this case (because the government already knows who should get priority) and neither does higher prices as a signal to increase investment in capacity (because that investment doesn't look like it's being made despite the high prices and because creating capacity is just difficult because of the fact that the limitation is number of satellites in overhead and that can't be increased only in a specific area using LEO sats.)
>I joined Bell Labs in 1967, following my father, Alistair E. Ritchie, who had a long career there. His most visible public accomplishment was as co-author of The Design of Switching Circuits, with W. Keister and S. Washburn; it was an influential book on switching theory and logic design just before the transistor era.

This and the part about Bell Labs transmogrifying around Richie through the years makes me wonder how many of Richie’s accomplishments were due to Bell and what could he have done outside of Bell on his own path? I’m thinking that living in an attic while accomplishing great CS feats is a delicate balance that might have only happened at Bell with his parents support. But is there another timeline where he sees the weaknesses at Bell and ends up somewhere else in Silicon Valley?

Correct-- Blink needs a (reasonably) POSIX-compliant system to compile and run, so it should work on Linux or BSD or macOS, but needs Cygwin on Windows.
In the UK, traffic cops used to have "Black Rat" stickers [0] on their personal vehicles (for various reasons they are nicknamed Black Rats- this started out as a derogatory nickname from other police, but they adopted it as a point of pride).

Once it became clear that the stickers were being sold to the public, they stopped working as a way to avoid being pulled over.

Not directly (or at least not yet), although Cosmopolitan already supports Windows natively; blink extends this support for Cosmopolitan and other x86-64-linux binaries to more platforms.

In other words, you can build a cosmopolitan executable (that runs on Linux, Windows, and other platforms) and extend it with blink, allowing the same binary to also run on those platforms that blink emulates.

For non-comsmopolitan binaries it needs a posix-compliant host (hence cigwin, but not Windows in general).

It still seems odd to me that the standard advice for "how do I avoid copyright issues with example code" is "rewrite it in your own style", and we're happy with this, but now that we have an algorithm that can do this (using a stupendous amount of calculation, it's not like these things learn for free... yet...) this is suddenly somehow cheating.

I think the protestations about copyright aren't entirely honest. People aren't mad that LLMs are "stealing their work", they're scared that LLMs are copying their ability to produce such work.

And this is great! Houston is giant, but it's extremely efficient because it doesn't have The Downtown where you _have_ to be. As a result, industry and offices tend to be interspersed with residential areas. So the average commute stays short.

The problem seems to be driven by undocumented workers crossing the border.

No, as always (and from basic physic, as it were): what it's driven by is greed, and a lack of oversight. And to some extent, it may be a negative side effect of the rising minimum wage in some states. The undocumented workers, are just following the path of least resistance -- and are getting sucked in over the border, in response to these forces.

Remember, by themselves they are essentially powerless -- and the very opposite of a "driving force" for anything in this picture,

I think it's actually been happening on a broad economic scale with different scales of organizations being in different phases. Basically when a nation or company is expanding into new productive capacity without any previous thing there (expansion into vacuum) - things are good, but once one needs to replace entrenched interests then the enshitification starts. This is where the entrenched interests to ensure profits takes precedence to more efficient or productive value creation. IMHO, this can happens at company, industry, and nation level scales. E.g. The US in the 50's was early cycle, now it's in the late cycle with small GDP growth. China was in the expansion into vacuum phase with high GDP growth, and is in the latter stages of that ending.

I think the next stage is decentralized social media. Something like nostr (1) where there’s no centralized entity determining the algorithm to boost. It’s up to the individual to follow users.

Perhaps the next challenge would be human verification, even with this protocol we’d need something to index public people by to handle discovery.

Even before LLM’s became as mainstream as they are, most social media platforms were riddled with spam: affiliate marketing, drop shipping crap, and people who are running some sort of con.

> There are other battery technologies on the 5 year horizon that bring another doubling.

I'm curious about these. Are you referring to silicon anodes, or metallic lithium anodes and solid ceramic electrolytes and "improved separators"? (I can't find much about the improvements.)

Or other improvements, say in cathodes, or cell design (say reducing the mass of anode and cathode contacts), packaging or pack design? I thought LG's wireless within-pack BMS comms was a clever way to reduce volume, weight, and copper requirements.

There are lots of incremental improvements possible, but getting from 500 to 1000 Wh/kg is a big ask.
