It's not reasonable for regular people to understand the scale of those risks. I've watched video of a previous paying customer talking to Rush about the risks noted in the waiver, and he downplays it so much, almost mocking the very notion that the risk is unreasonable.

Imagine being told that the gluing of titanium to carbon fiber is a risk, but the guy telling you that is saying it's no big deal - just innovation. How are you supposed to have any meaningful understanding of that risk? Like is it a huge red flag or just a YOLO issue? I wouldn't know, I'd have to defer to the "experts" who I am entrusting my life to.

Which would be trivial too.
I don't think so. Reddit has never been a huge moneymaker like Facebook, and its recent decisions seem very short-sighted and designed to make the site look appealing for the IPO, and who cares what happens after that.

I think it's more likely that it enters a Tumblr/Myspace-esque "dead mall" twilight or a Twitter-esque death spiral.
Wow that went from implying 'women love Tinder for casual hookups' to 'women are too serious about finding soulmates' at breakneck speeds. Which is it?

"Hard to argue with this: Women initiate divorce 69% of the time, increasing to 90% if they're college-educated — which means one thing; fellas, if your woman is at uni, make sure she is not being sweet talked by an Indiana Jones-looking professor into earning extra(marital) credits. Just saying."

Except that's super easy to argue with. 1) Women aren't marrying in college, so it's unlikely they're divorcing you for their tutors. 2) they're initiating the divorce so it's likely you have done something wrong, not them.

But convincing that author that A) women aren't at fault or even B) there's no problem with people marrying less feels like a futile conversation.
That's weird, since my comment literally said nothing about LLMs. I was simply pointing out that making scraping legal doesn't invalidate any of the other data laws that were out there, and gave one example.

You keep making the claim that because it was scraped people can do whatever they want, as scraping is legal. That is the only thing I'm arguing against, because that is a gross misinterpretation of how the case that made scraping legal was decided. LLMs aren't relevant to that point (which is exactly what I keep saying- the method of collection doesn't magically change the legality of it).

That being said, you're still wrong. The USPO has said that the output of LLMs are the outputs of algorithms and are not creative works. Therefore you can't "own the copyright to the new work you make" because the work itself can't be copyrighted at all. No one can own the output of an LLM.

Also, just because it seems you want to be wrong on every level, it is absolutely possible that a neural network would be able to repeat data from its training set. This is an incredibly known problem in the field.
It's a nice idea and website, but the structure seems very…nonideal. Why should this be governed by a private entity that they have to pay to monitor and recertify them? What's to stop a company from being "for society and the environment" until they get big enough to not care? As far as I can see, nothing's legally binding. At any point, the shareholders can just amend the bylaws to give up their little badge and do whatever makes them more money.

I think something like a benefit corporation or L3C is far more meaningful. Having all the capital legally tied into having society and the environment as beneficiaries thereof is way better than having a private company give you a little badge to advertise with as long as you do what they want.
Ideally. But if you start up a company in Texas, and you make marketing and sale inroads in a single big city at a much faster rate, you have a problem.

It's a bit easier in Texas with multiple large cities. But if your marketing and sales take off in one region, you can find yourself vulnerable to a single hurricane hitting the coast, for instance.

Since insurance is so heavily state regulated, if you are limited to your one state that has one big city, you may have that risk no matter what. Bigger companies can span multiple states, of course. Smaller companies will have to have their portfolio underwritten by another insurance company.
Racial discrimination in the US significant enough that, for example, merely having a "Black" name leads to worse results from job applications, regardless of other factors [1]. Merely focusing on wealth levels won't counteract that kind of effect.

JetBrains' IDEs are very heavyweight, it's apples to oranges. And while there is some native code in them, they're still driven by the JVM mostly. There is fleet, but it's not an improvement to vscode at all IMO.

How about vscode vs sublime, neovim, or any other native text editor with LSP support? vscode is slow comparatively.
In the end, higher education is a scarce resource. Making it harder for group X to get in is absolutely discrimination, and does reduce the amount of people from group X who can attain higher education.

Affirmative Action is talked about as positive discrimination, but it is still discrimination none-the-less.
Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing.
Quite likely. I'd say it's at present beyond our comprehension.

A big enough cruise ship, accelerating fast enough, could cause a tsunami but it'd be far beyond anything we could reason about sensibly.

Which part are you saying isn't true? It most certainly is. In Canada, the capital gains exemption on principal residences has no limit. In the states, you start paying capital gains after 250k or 500k, depending on whether you are single or married. I think you can roll your gains above that into a new mortgage to avoid or delay paying the taxes, but I don't know the details.
>Could racially discriminatory hiring strategies be next?

As someone who is white, and got 100% job offers from every interview, I wonder if I got it out of discrimination, or I'm so elite and they picked me despite being white.
> 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.

More or less, but not precisely. How do you define a "minority race"? Universities in America discriminate against Asian Americans despite them being a minority of the American population generally, ostensibly because they're over-represented in universities.

Not changed much compared to the multi threads performance, maybe because the performance with one thread/task was already good and we need to do more things/calculations faster.
> Why not just.. well, let poor people come first?

Mostly it was a justice thing. The US spent decades disadvantaging people based on race and this was a step to try and reverse some of that.

I agree that changing it from race to economic class is probably the right move at this point.

That being said, I don't like that the SC is legislating from the bench. They are striking this down for purely political reasons.
So rolling 12 months of everyone's private communication.

In the country next door (UK) it's 1 month of everyone's private communication since Theresa May passed the 'snooper's charter' back in 2016.

Do these countries not have laws against opening other people's postal mail and wiretapping?
What starts your safety critical code?
I was on vacation in Sweden last year. Along the lake near the town of Östersund there were signs that said: PFAS pollution, prohibited fishing.

well jellyfin is OSS so if the community is large its going to be hard to match that internally.

i went with emby because it has better app support and i know eventually jellyfin will catch up and surpass it at which point it'll be real easy to just switch over. plex was a non starter because they make local accounts hard to use to better push their ad supported crap on users.

ie your parents create a plex account to use your server the defaults will mean they see all that ad supported plex content until you walk them through removing it
> Further, is the curriculum at these schools that much better than everywhere else or is it more a factor of surrounding yourself with highly motivated peers that makes it better?

I've watched the full set of lectures for a few classes at top universities (Yale, MIT, that kind of thing) for a topic area in which I took a lot of classes at a very-cheap low-tier ex-normal-school state university that's completely unknown outside a ~150 mile radius, and only somewhat recognized within it.

From what I could tell, the content, pace, and amount & sort of assigned work were all pretty similar.

What differed? Two main things:

1) The guest lecturers—cheap state school, none, or unremarkable ones; the fancy schools, both more common to have them, and universally very impressive credentials, possibly someone you've heard of even if you don't really follow the topic, basically, their guests were "celebrities", at least within a field.

2) How engaged the students seemed to be—not at all, at the cheap state school; very, at the fancy schools.

This is for undergrad. The ways they differ may not be the same in grad school.
> By replacing the native desktop app with a wrapper around their existing web application, Microsoft reduces the need to separately build and maintain features in both platforms.

True, but it's at the price of having an inferior product. But perhaps Microsoft doesn't care about that.
Yes, you do know of revolutions stopped and it worked for centuries.

Tokugawa Japan, Qing China, many other places including in Europe for centuries.

That's too extreme.

My point is that we're reaching a point where people need to be compensated. We can't just destroy their lives, collect all the money in 2 bank accounts and call it a day.
>with wavelengths of up to tens of light years.

from a layman's perspective, this sounds crazy cool that they were able to "see" this in the data. seems like one of those things that would be easy to miss from being scoped in and only discoverable after zooming back out. waaaaay out.
Depends on what they lost on.

A premed, biology grad just lost out on a 500k/yr job by not getting into medical school.

OPs dad got into medical school with this discrimination, so its not a leap to imagine OP would have grown up in a lower middle class area if not for discrimination.

If you go read a book, memorize it, write it down later in a substantively similar form, and share it freely or sell it — yes, you might get into copyright trouble. It has happened before and it is at best a tricky gray area.

If you pick up a book and learn a fact, then yeah, you’re allowed to share that fact.

It’s weird that this topic keeps devolving into a form of “so what, it’s illegal for me to learn things?” Because: no, it’s not. And: You and a piece of software are treated differently under the law. You have a different set of rights than ChatGPT.

I find it interesting that certain people seem unable to comprehend that Donald Trump is the result of that racism by Democrats:

Not because his supporters are racists, but because they’re done with an establishment openly bigoted towards them — and pathologically unwilling to address their needs.

Would adding the account to a mail client so that it logs into the account via IMAP on PC/phone startup help or does Yahoo require a login via the web interface?
It isnt law anywhere. That is my point. If you're traveling in the rightmost land on a three lane highway you are making it difficult for others to get on and off. The middle lane is where you should be.
Intellectual Property Is Theft
I think the qualification of how to label the matrix parent mentions is irrelevant. The chart clearly exists and has been used. Whether we call it something like 'race conscious equity generator' or 'oppressed totem pole' is just a way to polarize each side of the spectrum ( and adds to the point GP made about whether it is just a play for making people fight over relatively stupid stuff ).

The point is that points for being $race and $class exists. As a society, do we want to fine tune everything to ensure that our individual mix of variables are accounted for or do we want individual to adjust to societal mold?

It is a real question. For school, that clearly values obedience to the mold and passivity ( for better or worse ), I would assume the latter.
[insert joke about another canceled Google project here]

The Ars story indicates that they want to focus on software. An 'Android platform' for VR/AR. That's great and all, but they don't mention what hardware it would run on. Seems like you'd really need to know hardware capabilities for a project like that.

Personally I think they looked at what Apple did and realized they couldn't compete.
>Or are you suggesting an automated panel movement when hail is approaching?

Yes, big Red Button to re-orient all panels when hail is approaching. Some of these farms are massive so I think it would save enough of them to make it a cost-effective feature. Not sure how much human monitoring goes on though, or if an automated system would be better in case it happens e.g. late at night.

> I went to MIT, and to this day I wonder how much checking "Hispanic" helped me there and if I "deserved" to go.

the problem with aa is not about people getting in that didn't "deserve" it, it's people getting in who don't have the means to succeed; elite colleges brag about their diverse admissions but don't talk about people who go on to fail when they could've succeeded at less prestigious schools

if you succeeded then you deserved to get in.
European naturalized American here and yes I do agree with you. In the few EU countries where I lived before settling in the US it would be unthinkable to include race in these policies. Just help poor people and that's it.

I'll put on my tin foil hat here, but I genuinely believe that "race" (and now "gender") is being weaponized by the American elites/politicians to form nice clear camps/teams for voters. People need to focus on race otherwise they would start to pay attention to the enormous social/financial disparity between the top and the bottom of the pyramid. And we really do not want that.

Palm Pre's webOS (2009) is the most famous. After an acquisition by HP (2010-2013), it was acquired by LG's (with patents going to Qualcomm). The only other major entrant, Firefox, was short lived (2014-2015). Chrome OS (2011-) only sort of counts; I don't think the OS chrome is using Chrome, just the same underlying drawing libraries, but it does run webapps.

Before that was a neat Linux project Pyrodesktop (2007) which was an x11 window manager using Firefox guts to render. There was also a trend of trying to mate Javascript technologies to gnome back then, with efforts like gjs seeing some adoption. I don't know how popular it is, but a spinoff of css was/is used for styling in GNOME for a while.

These days there's tons of web desktop projects. https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops . Only sort of in the spirit but i quite adore Greenfield, an html5 Wayland desktop/compositor. https://github.com/udevbe/greenfield

I absolutely think there is all-in potential for the web. I think we're missing a visible rallying point, where a stronger community of app makers can cooperatively advance beyond-the-web capabilities. Project Fugu & WICG help a lot but are also working with Safari (and sort of Firefox) handcuffed to them.
Your comment is disingenuous. While there are certainly many businesses who do not undertake sustainability efforts in earnest or at all, we (as consumers) have to want companies to try. Otherwise they are even further disincentivized to make an effort. I agree that it’s a bad look when a Nestle company can obtain a B Corp score, but that’s not to discredit the entire program.

B Corp certifying makes a critical distinction for consumers. Is it a panacea for climate crises? Of course not. Will it single-handedly fix profit-incentivized business models that exploit natural resources? Of course not. It’s a start, and you shouldn’t assume that all companies undertaking its certification are merely greenwashing.

You could try to make the argument that enabling greenwashing is detrimental to them environmentalism effort, but then I’d have to get a sense for what you think is a meaningful step toward adjusting business practices.
I’ll try, Flutter?
The photo is pretty interesting in that some whole panels are completely unscathed right next to ones that are literally covered in impact craters. Maybe they should selectively breed the surviving panels together to get a new generation of more resilient panels.

Only slightly tongue-in-cheek. It's very unlikely that the unscathed panels had no impacts at all right next to panels that had dozens of them. So the surviving panels must have just been meaningfully more robust than the others.
Do you think that Dr. King would argue that, aside from affirmative action, we live in such a world today?
You still haven't said where it's legal that all rights can be signed away. I know for a fact that you can't waive tenant rights when signing a lease, for example. We also don't allow people to sign over so many rights that they're considered slaves, as slavery has been made illegal. I also can't sign away my right to not be sexually harassed- if a company makes me sign something saying that they can sexually harass me they will still end up losing in court. The US has also limited the ability for NDAs to cover discussions about labor practices, so there's another right we can't sign away.

It seems to me there are a to of counter examples to this "right" you speak of. So many that it doesn't seem like it really exists.

Any good place to find RFC's you can recommend? When I search for them they often seem to be technical implementations of single parts of a system, instead of full system specifications.
Oooh, this is something I know a little about. At university we were tasked with building software for estimating the usable area of a runway given its configuration and obstacles.

Runways have 3-4 different defined areas, each with different properties and usable in different ways. For example, the grass at the sides is important for safety, must be cleared a certain distance back, must not rise above a certain level above the tarmac, etc, and all those rules are distinct from the rules that apply to the concrete at the ends of the runway, distinct from the rules regarding surrounding buildings and trees, and so on. The area managed as a runway can extend kilometers out on every side.

Now, if you have a plane break down at one end, or a support vehicle crash on the grass or something, you don't actually have to put the runway out of action, but you do have to re-declare the usable distance, and that's based on the location, size, and importantly height of the obstacle. You then need to plot the angle of landing/takeoff based on that height, accounting for the segment of the runway it's in, and the given runway's pre-approved angle (varies by city/terrain).

It was a fascinating project and a good example of how problems are often so much more complex and nuanced than they initially appear.
That's simply not true, it is largely on colleges to improve staffing and facilities to accommodate more students. It is well-known that populations generally increase so especially public schools should probably try to understand and address that. Due diligence is something we should ask of our publicly funded services.

It's not the role of students to delay or defer their own education out of some sense of guilt.
This has to be a corollary of Rule 34
