So Google scrapes the entire internet, and even caches thumbnails of images.

If I have a website where I host some of my own images, and I outline a terms of use regarding use and/or caching of those images, is Google obligated to follow those terms of use?

Also, I don't think Invidious (the software repository) loads anything from Youtube's CDN, any more than curl does, though it seems like the default configuration does do this, and they give out plenty of advice on how to make it work as a "proxy" for the youtube video data. If the people deploying Invidious are infringing, then I agree there's a good argument that Invidious (the software) has some liability.

Though it's not clear to me if people doing this are infringing. As far as I can tell, no one has been successfully sued for hotlinking images hosted by another website. This seems like the same precedent to me.

Furthermore, if hotlinking was considered infringement, then a case could be made that most websites would be guilty enough to be de-indexed from Google. Someone (in the UK) tried to sue Google a while back because Google was prominently displaying search results that hotlinked his website, and he lost the lawsuit (https://www.theregister.com/2020/01/16/google_search_image_r...)

Until there's clarity on whether it's OK for websites to embed resources from other hosts, I don't think it's clear that even Invidious instances are infringing here.

And even if they are, Invidious (the software) could very well make some small changes to their deployment, to make it configurable, for users to (theoretically) use their own video servers. Users can then configure their own instances to use Google's CDNs if they want, and I don't believe the people making Invidious would be any more responsible than Daniel Stenberg is for the ways people might use curl
We trade with lots of creatures and living things. Like bees. We give them a hive and protection, and they give us honey.

The same with all sorts of vegetation.

Flora and fauna often have co-dependent relationships, too.

Looks like the initial results confirm Netflix's view on the market.

Just reaffirms that public outcries should always be paired with reliable data.

They knew what they were doing, tested it out in several markets and prepared cheaper offers before.

I say well done Netflix even though I'm going to be sad to leave since for me as someone living alone it doesn't make sense anymore given my backlog of steam games and personal projects.

I want to practice C++ without DSA, where can I find the materials?
DSA=Data Structures and Algorithms.

I’ve finished a 50hr course on C++ and my basics are somewhat clear although I’m not confident of it.

So, I am looking to improve my C++. My ultimate aim is to study data structures and algorithms in C++. But I don't know any of dsa rn.

Can you suggest me? Codewars problems after 7kyu require dsa to solve properly. I just want to practice OOP and basic C++. Can you share me list of problems? Or should I just learn DSA right now? What do you all say?
> Until we get all the way to nanobots I suspect the AI overlords will keep us around as workers.

We are literally made of nanobots. Life is nanotech. Our AI overlords may keep us around for a while, but if it's our biology that makes us useful, the AIs will learn to control it. The fastest way to become able to design and build nanotech of your own, is (arguably) to repurpose and reverse-engineer the one that already exists. For better or worse, we may be useful for that part. As a resource.
This sounds to me like a combination of survivorship bias and cost preference.

You see the resilient things at your grandparents' house because those are the only things that have survived. All the poor quality things they purchased over the years are gone by now. Also, you and your parents probably favor lower-cost items (as do most people these days) over longevity. This may simply not have been possible in your grandparents' time, pre-globalization. It's still very possible to get high-quality and long-lasting goods (the buyitforlife subreddit is a good starting point), but you're going to pay a lot more for them than most people are willing to in comparison to the "replace it when it breaks" mass-produced-in-China goods.
One of the complaints about remote assistance is the missing olfactory clue needed by remote surgeons and the like. I am sure some company has it in the pipeline, but given how Apple will likely always have their "not meant for medical use" in their TOS it is unlikely to be an Apple priority. Still their accessibility crew may make some noise given the number of people who have lost their sense of smell.

With any luck whatever 3D picture/video format is open and includes roving geolocation, compass direction, inclination, smells, humidity, wind speed/direction, light sources, humidity and more. Saving more metadata now should encourage technology to take advantage of it later.

The complete lack of cellular/satellite announcement is not too surprising as Apple computers and CarPlay also suffer the same lack. Apple pinches pennies in the weirdest places.

There is an opportunity for widespread Vision Pro adoption even at this price point so perhaps get started on the business idea. As a display alone there is high success potential as long as Apple does not feel the need to knee-cap the future of Vision Pro by abandoning the shared display market to others. It has nearly the resolution of a Studio display ($1599 at 14.5 million px vs $3500 at 11.5 million px/eye) and can emulate multiple monitors at once. Apple will want to control the experience, but personally I am hoping they quickly jump to WiFi 7 and become the central home hub for multiple PCs, consoles, and headless/clamshell Macs with multiple desktops each.

Desktop PCs and Phones are hardly social to start with so I think people complaining about isolation with AR are overstating their case. I expect most will just take this off like putting down the phone for conversation. Apple has an opportunity to create unique environments, increase personal privacy for all screen based devices, and champion compatibility if they cut back on ego a bit. Here is to hoping they open source some sort of easy pairing/streaming/VR protocol that limits frames/resolution based on attention/distance and the console makers adopt it with Find My in every controller and everyone makes a bundle doing it. One can dream.

Eventual Thunderbolt ports for a cellular dongle/fast media backup/head mounted lamp/charging controllers while playing/etc would also be nice if they don't add flashlights and cellular options to future models would be my main current request.

The first AirPods were great, yet the original Apple Watch and iPhone were bare bones so I will keep my expectations low. Here is to hoping Apple grabs every opportunity as quickly as possible to increase adoption as the competition will be fierce. As long as they are not too patient with the long game I think even five years should have a good market with a lighter plastic lens no front screen non-pro version for the casual.
Everyone I know still in my birth country is working to retire, and, when they retire they will move to a place in the sun. Most who retired died unhappy before doing that because of health reasons because of working. It’s all just sad. Move today and you can retire today. ‘Something else later’ doesn’t work with our lifespan.
I just visited this website. Really liked it. I found that this company have experts for their services and may provide desired results for image recognition. You should go to this website.
It does. That's why we're turning it on automatically. We've supported it since 2017 and we have made a bunch of changes recently that make it better.

They'd probably look at you like you were an alien because most people would say either you're Icelandic or you're not. Even if you were a naturalized Icelander they'd probably also say "oh but you're really American" etc if they learned you were naturalized.
That sounds like incredibly minor convenience at the expense of a lot of privacy. I'm not saying you're not entitled to your vote for the future but the shitville you're down with for the sake of not having to reopen a tab is sad.

This. I loved usenet, but when the spam started, that was the harbinger of doom. Maintaining communities costs time and effort as well as servers and bandwidth. Given the thankless task of fighting the onslaught of spam, trolls, raids, organized information ops etc it's not viable as a volunteer exercise in general. It can be done by mutual cooperation and self-policing on a small scale in isolated groups of like-minded folks but en mass the incentive to ruin the commons for everyone else will always be too strong for some folks.
Often the clothing was pretty impractical too. Not Greek, but Roman the Toga prevented from most activity. Semi-circular piece of cloth you wrap around yourself and you hold in place with your other hand. And the common clothing like tunics also likely limited the movements to some extend and could be hard to keep on during being active.
The U of U still has a large block of public IPs that they use for all their "internal" systems. No need for NAT there!

That was at least 100% true as of around 15 years ago. I know the CS and engineering departments are still using that block. Hard to imagine that it still holds true for WiFi APs, etc and the proliferation of devices.
Apple Silicon is optimized for performance per watt, where they beat the holy living pants off AMD and Intel. They then take this hardware and stretch it to the point where it does that vast majority of things that their desktop client market wants to do, and does that very well.

Apple has intentionally given up on going for the absolute fastest top end CPU horsepower, either in single core or multi core. If you want to run massive GPU loads, that's not a market they want to kill themselves for. You'd be better off running that in the cloud, anyway where you can rent the hardware you need for that for a few dollars, then throw it away when you're done.

But that doesn't sell clicks or ads. Only the blood curdlingest zit poppingest single or giga multicore numbers will do for the mainstream media.

Meanwhile, Apple continues to make billions and billions of dollars optimizing their hardware and their software to best serve the largest number of customers they can, and optimizing for the best performance per watt for the broadest possible array of customers. And do so in a way that most of these machines can provide better price/performance than most anything else on the market, and better battery lifetime than anything else in the market. Which makes a lot of people mad, and so they have to write nasty articles about it.

Hell, the MacBook Air 15" with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD is still way more laptop than 95% of people need (better than the standard dev spec laptops in 99% of even the MANGA companies), and for those people who do want bigger and faster machines, Apple can still provide that, too.

Computer graphics has always been a world apart in computing. Even today we still have the somewhat arcane world of GPU's versus the CPU's for the common folk.

Programming-wise too, computer graphics, especially 3D, has this pronounced mathematical / geometric aspect to it that is not shared with normal applications. That has been inhereted in the game industry but remains a thing apart.

In some sense it is only now, half a century later, with the increased emphasis on data science and ML/AI that this fundamental cleavage is being repaired:

Both at the hardware side, the repurposing and utilization of GPU architectures for non-graphical compute and on the software side, the elevation of more mathematical objects like tensors (= nd-arrays) into first class citizens.

Some of that disjointness might have been unavoidable, but maybe these guys (remarkably 100% male btw) in the family photo had something to do with it.

The counterfactual would have been something like graphics enabled CPU's and more mainstream support in programming languages for the associated mathematical operations.

Won't you run into problems with trying to turn "ten minutes before 1970" into a time?

IOW, if you subtract two `time` types, the result must be a valid `time` type, so you can add/subtract to it. The result cannot be a `timediff` type.
Yeah, despite all its shortcomings Flash had one thing and that was opening up the web to a rich UX. Today, despite all the progress in JS, CSS and browser support for page manipulation, we’re nowhere near what used to be possible with Flash

Again I'm in agreement with everything you are saying here including the part with "other efforts".

I just think we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just because the space got ravaged by zero interest rates, VC's, scammers, charlatans, snake oil salesman and even worse, it doesn't mean the technology and the premise was wrong.

Having a ledger that is secured by decentralised consensus is not only useful but will be a necessity for the digital first future we are heading towards.

We are reaching the limits of the current paradigm. We see companies like Meta having to be the arbiter of consensus. We've seen platforms showing their true faces and commoditising peoples data and network which wasn't really theirs to begin with.
It's not heuristics, it's executable metadata
Yeh most of decentralised cloud companies are very silly.

Just wondered -- is contact-less finger-print scanning possible?

I know some people have managed to lift fingerprints off high-resolution photographs of hands.

What does it take to scan fingerprints off realtime video? Are the sensors on the Apple Vision Pro that are used for hand gesture tracking -- close to having this power?

It's actually funny how exactly it went how everybody expected. It's like watching a movie that's setting up an incredibly obvious ending, and so the whole time you're waiting for a last minute plot twist to happen because it's just way too simplistic if they don't.

But no, it went exactly as anyone could've predicted, no notes.

1. they didn't budge an inch

2. spez is a fucking jerk as always

3. it was over after only a small handful of questions, some of which may have been preplanned

4. we learned nothing new.

It's exactly what everyone saw coming. gg.

This most definitely seems to me like it was more of a "how dare they question me" spur of the moment decision by spez than a legitimate PR effort. At the same time it just reinforces the obvious conclusion that third party app devs were lied to and set up to fail.
I was immediately thinking there’s a reason we do exercises in special sports clothing, made from carefully chosen, light and breathable fabrics; something the ancient world hadn’t had access to. Instead, they would have to wear what I imagine to be heavy and inflexible pieces of cloth, which wouldn’t have been able to get rid of the sweat quickly.

Considering that, I’m not surprised they would exercise naked instead.
ThinLinc has always worked pretty well.
> all without their pants on. Why?

The question is right there in the title. just by observing all the native tribes the answer could be "why not" . greece is not tropical, but i can't see why always clothed would be assumed to be the default other than for protection. There's no explanation why casual nudity should not be expected , or why nudity signals something. If anything, in most societies it is clothing that singals something

then there is the part about phalluses - but phalluses are not particularly related to nudity nor does greek art create any connection between the two. The connection from nudity to phallus betrays modern biases about nudity.

There's also no mention of baths, another place where nudity is the natural state.

Then there is this which sounds so colossally revisionist:

> It is difficult to deny the elegance of a simple explanation for the prevalence of nude dudes in Greek art: they were the ultimate, high-class sex symbol and – then as now – sex always sells.

Sex was almost free in athens since Solon established public brothels. Relationships with young boys were erotic and long-term, not just sexual. Also notice that greeks use a few different words for love and lovemaking , none of which directly translates to sex. This was not 20th century hollywood
Yeah, I did not find moving from Massachusetts to California involved a radical reimagining of my behavior, the way I spoke, or in many cases even the places I shopped. The people here are all familiar with the same cultural touchstones, more or less. Distinctive regional accents are harder and harder to hear. US culture might have been more notably diverse in the pre-War period but now basically you're, to put it in vulgar terms, "cosmopolitan" or "hick" and that's about all the differentiation that matters.

It could be a 'high variance, low expected value' play. Like pulling the goaly when you are behind. That kind of strategy only makes sense if 'losing by a little' and 'losing by a lot' are equally unacceptable. That doesn't tend to be how economic competition between countries works I think?

I listened to a talk once where they said that this is sort of how AV1 compression works, where there are many possible ways to compress a block, and you can choose the best one at runtime by computing each and seeing which is best.

He’s gotta be ready to walk out in 30 seconds flat when he spots the heat round the corner.
Model Y was about $6k USD cheaper here over Ioniq5/Ev6, but:

* has remote control app

* phone as a key

* autopilot

* heated steering wheel & seats

* power liftgate

* panoramic sunroof (which turned out a huge con)

For some reason hyundai/kia doesn’t have app nor it’s version of autopilot here. V2L is very nice feature, but I realise I’d use it maayyybe once a year. China made Teslas still have USS. Also turns out I didn’t need CarPlay - Teslas maps are good enough.
The issue with moderation is that not everyone agrees. Moderation should be plug-in and multilayer. Everyone should be able to choose which moderation they trust or distrust.

Full p2p is technically complicated and does not work well for small devices not always connected, we should keep servers to host the discussions.

The servers should be able to subscribe to a moderation. You don't want to host a discussion illegal in your country gor example. Users should also be able to move servers painlessly. If the users trust their servers with their identity, it does not need to use crypto for user identity. On your profile page on a server you can link other servers identity and that's enough and simpler.

If a discussion group is private, it should only be hosted in servers of their members and not elsewhere.

I started working on such a system https://github.com/mildred/disputatio.nim but beyond the technical stuff I have no idea how this could gain adoption.
I see. Thanks for clarification
Useful-useless isn't the only metric.
When was that?

I mentioned in another thread I used alpha_1 in high school at the U (2002). I had actually had Autocad (R16) 3D CAD experience at the time, but alpha_1 was a lot of fun. I ended up making a 3D Model of Escher’s Belvedere. One of the guys was going to “print” it down in the lab in the bottom of MEB (they did have some form of 3D printer) but thought it might be hard and unstable. I ended up getting it rendered with ray tracing on one of the brand new UltraSPARCs they had in the lab, and it was printed on a T shirt that everyone got. We also got a copy of VisualStudio 6 from Microsoft (we toured their studio near the airport) which I sold on ebay for $375 at the time.
