"Interpret" is just a word. In practice the Court has enormous power in interpreting laws, to the point where it can completely change the policy that laws implement, or strike them altogether.

We afford deference to the Court because we believe it follows a constrained legal procedure that makes the word "interpret" meaningful: this involves taking into account precedent and past case law. This approach tends to prevent justices from "interpreting" the law in ways that effectively re-write the law according to their instantaneous political preferences. This court is receiving criticism (and serious loss of public approval [1]) because it has abandoned those constraints, and keeps overturning longstanding precedent in ways that happen to correspond to the stated political preferences of the justices (and the politicians that appointed them.)

Yeah the only energy source that can produce enough energy to power an Alcubierre drive (warp drive) that humanity has ever even conceived is a matter-antimatter reactor. But we don’t even fully understand matter, much less antimatter, and are pretty far from that. 2250 at the earliest is not an unreasonable estimate.

I agree, it seems like all the arguments that the use of data by AI should have no more restrictions than the use of data by humans hinge on the implicit (or sometimes explicit) assumption that human learning and machine learning are identical. While there are parallels, there also seem to be significant differences not only in how the learning is done, but also in outcomes for the person whose data is being used. And since a major purpose of IP, copyright, etc. is at least ostensibly to protect the creators of information from negative outcomes, I don't think the outcomes can be ignored when comparing human learning to ML.

Sure, because it is the meaningless part of what you said and exemplifies the whole softening effort. One can do this softening with any cultural value, and we are all incentivized to under capitalism. This is literally what vaporwave was about. The default Cisco hold music is the greatest vaporwave track because it embodies the brutality of the softening that the subject craves as a haven for comfort in a heartless world. In a sense, corporate purpose-made music is the only genuine vaporwave. This is why vaporwave cannot exist as a living art form. Vaporwave is the art we cannot have. It's the beauty in the brutality. But without the brutality, it's just nothing.

Edit: No you didn't use those words. I was just referencing other comments here and other common takes about vaporwave. I will edit the comment and remove the scare quotes.

Meh. The release forms were pretty clear. And if you aren't capable of judging the technical merit - well, that is a decision too. You're deciding to take a leap of unknown risk.

We need to stop being this judgy. People should be allowed to make decisions - including the decision to trust someone else - that turn out badly. They paid for those decisions both figuratively and literally. They weren't exactly tricked.

I think the good lesson here is that if you aren't capable of judging the risk of something, you shouldn't participate in it. Some people will violate that rule and some of those people will die. It's ok. People die for stupider reasons and nobody lives forever. It doesn't make the world a better place by trying to eliminate every possible source of death.
Not at all! Qt comes with an LGPL version that you just must 1. link it dynamically and 2. If you change Qt's source code you need to publish the changes. (Not legal advice).

Most of what you'll need will be under the LGPL version. You can use the commercial version by paying and not publishing your source or via the GPL license and publish your full source code and everything else GPL requires.

I cannot recommend it more, give it a try it's easy to learn (I studied the basics in a day and a working prototype quite fast).

I've posted about this before, but this is a fantasy land of the "before times". Sure, a bare app on a bare system would open snappy, but who cares? Get any significant load on that machine and it begins to wither and die. It regularly took minutes to load large docs, large 3d files, large dev environments. Sure it could load a simple text file instantly, but try to do a search through a few 10,000s of lines of code and watch things slow.

Modern software does have bloat, and I think we need to fix it, but modern applications are doing far more than just slamming in a text file. In 2000, OSs and apps weren't connected to anything. Their functionality was miniscule compared to what we have today, and they crashed all the time. Losing your work was a constant, which is why people learned to make constant backups.

I loved win2000, but I'd never go back there (although I would like advertisement to stay the hell out of my OS!)

>I keep seeing articles being pushed that the victim's families have no case. But with the whistleblower lawsuit, the conversations and tweets, the CEO seems to have just skipped engineering warnings and worked harder at convincing people. He convinced people that dangers he knew of weren't dangers. I don't think that can get waivered

Liability waivers have approximately zero standing in court. It's just something the defense can hold up and say "look, they were warned!". It doesn't legally absolve you of any liability whatsoever, and any jury is highly unlikely to be sympathetic to the defendant here.

OceanGate as a company effectively ceased to exist the moment this happened. Most likely their assets will be liquidated, and whatever's left will be a court battle with insurance companies for years to come.

SCOTUS rules on the constitutionality of laws. It doesn't write or institute any laws whatsoever. Now people need to get into college on merit instead of scoring high in the Victim Olympics. That's a great thing for our society.
>> "I think it was General MacArthur who said: 'You're remembered for the rules you break,'" Rush told the Mexican YouTuber alanxelmundo.

The problem with this approach is that the CEO failed to distinguish between human rules (to which MacArthur was referring) vs. laws of physics.

Laws of physics do not know about, care about, or yield to any human action or intention. They are absolute, and will kill you if you get on the wrong side of them.

If he wanted to go himself on this device, that is fine, but the way he was actively selling this as safe is just fraud. He got what he deserved, his passengers were fooled to their deaths.

Owning a carbon fiber composites design & fabrication business which builds both aerospace and subsea components, nearly everything I've read and viewed about this CEO's practices ranges from creep-me-out to 'looks criminal'. Compiling just references to the bad practices and failings would fill many pages, but perhaps the worst is the assumption that "hey, it went down there once, so it's good to go as many times as we want.", and refusal to even get any kind of ultrasonic or radiological testing of the carbon fiber hull.

Plus, to think that you can with acoustics, outrun the cascading failure at those kinds of pressures is nothing less than hard stupidity. The core function of carbon fiber composites is to spread the loads through the matrix with the extremely light and high-tensile-strength carbon fiber. This works great until it doesn't, so the failures are well known to be nearly explosive in rate and
catastrophic, unlike metals which tend to deform first. When the load is exceeding the maximum — especially in a well-designed & well-fabricated part — it is spread throughout the material. When it exceeds the maximum, either by fracturing the matrix between layers, or by fracturing some fibers, the load is now borne by proportionally less material, so is more focused, that material breaks, etc.. Even at normal pressures, this happens in microseconds. See the standard open hole compression test at about 1:46+ [0]. The pressures at that depth, would only increase the failure speed.

The tech guy got fired from the Titan project (w/10min to clean out his desk) for pointing out that the acoustic flaw-detection method the CEO wanted to use would not work, and would give them only milliseconds of warning. He was right.

What I do find a bit surprising is that James Cameron (himself a very accomplished depth explorer) says he heard from his sources that the Titan had dropped its weights and was ascending trying to manage an emergency, which indicates they actually had seconds or maybe even minutes of warning. Could mean that it just took longer with the 5in thick hull. So, it'll be really interesting to see the final reports...

IMO, a lot of people who didn't like the decision (whether because of which justices decided it or for some other reason) latched onto the "SCOTUS decided that corporations are people" shorthand because it seems absurd taken literally. Corporations are clearly not people (natural persons) the way you and I are.

But saying that corporate personhood shouldn't include political donations as part of their free speech rights, while a perfectly reasonable position and I might even agree, doesn't make as good a soundbite.

What you describe misrepresents how LLMs/neural networks and the math works, your analogy does not apply. There's no static data in the networks. The output of LLMs are much closer to parodies and fanfiction. In that case, you very clearly own the copyright to the new work you make.
Not exactly

I would say certainly the second trip was safer than the first, as the first trip ruled out lots of non carbon fibre related failures (e.g. the porthole)
> But you are assuming everyone in the world thinks logically, let alone understands why FOSS is a better option.

I know and I have accepted this argument for a long time. But as things get ever more commoditised and the unease with the existing arrangements keeps monotonically growing the silence is kinda deafening.

If we could somehow get a basic white-label device going the magic of FOSS would work its miracle eventually. Think of modern linux desktops and servers. They are not for everyone but they are indispensable in their niche.

Show HN: Open-Source, Google Zanzibar Inspired Authorization Service
Hey HN, I recently shared my thoughts on why Google Zanzibar is a great solution for implementing authorization[1] and why we decided to build Warrant’s core authz service using key concepts from the Zanzibar paper.

That's awesome that you're moving to real deal entrepreneur. I relate a lot to what you said. I'm not male but otherwise do have a crap ton of privilege in my life. And beyond that, like you said, I want it too (it being, business success, to make an impact, to be financially independent). Good luck and if you're open to sharing I'm curious what your business is and how you're starting it.

> AA had a purpose and place at some moment in time. I think that moment has passed.

Given how women and people with disabilities are still largely absent from these discussions and who still face massive challenges in breaking into some industries - let alone leadership roles in those industries - I think AA still had a place.

I think it's a mistake to say that absent AA we have a pure meritocracy. Instead the discrimination is simply based on criteria that we (US voters) no longer have a say in.
Relevant summary from the decision:

> Because Harvard’s and UNC’s admissions programs lack suffi- ciently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner, involve racial stereo- typing, and lack meaningful end points, those admissions programs cannot be reconciled with the guarantees of the Equal Protection Clause. At the same time, nothing prohibits universities from consid- ering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected the applicant’s life, so long as that discussion is concretely tied to a quality of character or unique ability that the particular applicant can contribute to the uni- versity. Many universities have for too long wrongly concluded that the touchstone of an individual’s identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned, but the color of their skin. This Nation’s constitutional history does not tolerate that choice.
True. Will update, thank you.

The concept of affirmative action is foreign to me (quite literally so). I only know it from American media, and I've come understand it to mean "positively discriminate based on race, so long as it's a minority race" - please correct me of I'm wrong.

But anyway, my question for the Americans here who grok this stuff: I assume the intent is to help disadvantaged people have opportunities that more priviledged people have already. Right? I mean, I can get behind that. But then why the entire detour with race? Why not just.. well, let poor people come first? Would the goal suddenly not be met if poor smart white kids get into good schools, too? Who loses in this case?

I don't mean this as a hihi actually sneaky anti-affirmative-action post, I don't understand the subject matter well enough (nor America in general). I genuinely don't get why the race thing is part of the equation. Shouldn't this just be run-of-the-mill social democratic "lets hand out some extra opportunities/benefits to the poor" program?
I'm right there with you (drawer full of loved-but-neglected pebbles, along with a few Garmin watches).

I ended up going the other direction, I got an apple watch and just sucked it up and accepted that I'll toss it on the charger every morning. It has a lot of really good features (I can approve okta logins and get authy codes from my wrist, I can check weather and scroll around to browse the forecast, things like that).

I think there are two branches at this point post-pebble. You either get something that augments your phone with a couple benefits over a traditional watch, or you get something like Apple Watch that does many of the things your phone can do, saving you from spending time on the big screen.

For me there's strong value to the latter that makes up for the battery downsides: the powerful-but-focused app functionality means I can accomplish a task without getting pulled into other things. On a phone I find it all too easy to check the weather then start checking notifications and get sucked into news or something.
My friend, you absolutely deserved to go to MIT. I'm sure the person you "beat out" for your spot landed at a different, but equally impressive college and had an experience that they wouldn't trade for anything.

> Though I possibly have been discriminated "for", and benefited tremendously from it.

So have a lot of people. You're probably surrounded by people whose familial background benefited them in numerous ways. You just happen to have some empathy about yours.
What industry would you shift to, though? This seems to be endemic amongst most industries right now (that could work from home).

It is making me consider shifting to going freelance again. Can't force myself to go to the office that way.

Or try to start my own business I guess, but I don't really have enough saved up that I'd feel comfortable making my family go through a prolonged period of no income.

I think it could be argued that the language used in universities is unlikely to be the one used professionally. I remember when the derogatory term "Java school" was commonly used for schools that shoehorned Java in all courses just to try to match the language of the day in enterprises. It really should be about what is the best pedagogical tool to teach the concepts the student is expected to understand irrespective of future professional tools used. If racket exposes those concepts better without making it onerous on students to learn that's great.

When MIT switched from scheme to python for their undergrad classes there was a big debate here aboutit. I think the argument was that python won't make learning the concepts any harder but is less of an issue for students to learn and has some long term value professionally so win-win. I don't fully agree but I can see the logic.
For example, if you mention in those right-leaning circles that certain drugs like psychedelics can have a positive effect, they get very angry. Or if you say that children should be capable of making more decisions (medical decisions like transitioning, or freedom to watch media) they'll scream abuse. Or if you express views about social media, certain video games and other forms of media being harmful to society and people, those people will get extremely defensive and horrid.
