That is the issue, but that means that to say that we'll never have self-driving cars is to say that we're either at or close to the limit on advancement of computing technology. That seems implausible to me, and if you don't accept it as a premise, then it's just a question of how long it is before computers surpass people at all of those things.

"an MP3 is not a song. It is a numerical representation of a song algorithmically treated to make you ears think you're listening to music but you're not."

This is spot on. And the lie kept being repeatedly sold by tech bros and streaming service who need to lower their cost as much as possible and are, in 2023, still unable to stream lossless music to their audience without losing too much money.

And the tech bros, for the love of tech, keep explaining you how "you cannot tell the difference so you may as well listen to the lossy song instead of the lossless one". But why? Fuck no. Just no. Why the heck would I listen to a 320 kbps mp3 when I can have something simpler and unarguably more correct?

Do I want to go to the Le Louvre museum and see a color print of Mona Lisa, made from a .jpg at 97% quality "because from 1 meter nobody can tell the difference"? For the love of tricking human's eye just as mp3 can trick human's ears? Just screw that mindset of disrespecting humans.

Now a case could be made that "CD audio" ain't "human" either but the CD audio format was created in 1979 (?), then commercialized in the early 80s. This was way before the real tech abuse started. It's an incredibly well conceived format and it's all I need.

"the original kind of tech bros science nerd need to separate from humanity and nature"

They are tricksters. They want to trick my eyes and my ears for the love of Rube-Goldberg algorithms and the complexity deity. They want to trick me behaviorally. They need to sell me ads. They need to track me.

I'm off ranting, I'll now go buy a few audio CDs. Early 80s tech, the best one.
LLM cannot produce something that doesnt exist already, it will probably spit out the same code ais523 wrote.
The short of it is that it doesn't do what people think it does. Enforcement of the AGPL is almost exclusively on "please comply" basis rather than the (relatively) battle-tested GPL. It's not "just" the GPL with an extra demand that it also applies on network software, it's much more complex than that.

The AGPL is basically a EULA disguised as a license. It tries to solve the network problem (aka SaaSification, a practice I would argue is against the spirit but very much permissible by the Four Freedoms) in a very "lawyeristic" way. If you don't modify AGPL software, you're not under any obligation to comply with the AGPL in any form. But the moment you touch the code, you now need to make the source available.

This also means it is (theoretically) trivially easy to work around - just contract out your modifications, have the contractor keep the copyright and act as the only user of the software with an indefinite license. You don't have to distribute a thing since you didn't modify the source code, your contractor did.

Going on from that, the AGPL doesn't actually say how compliance with section 13 must be achieved. According to most lawyers I've heard (not that I am one to be clear), basically your only "safe" option for most network apps is to make your code a quine (a program that can reproduce its own source code, most software isn't this, especially not network software) or something like JavaScript that is fully interpreted clientside anyway. Something like a link to a GitHub repository is not compliant with the AGPL.

This specific property also tends to cause major issues when confronted with protocols that don't easily allow for transferring large amounts of text. ie. MIDI is technically a network protocol.

All of those issues come from the fact that what the AGPL wants to do fundamentally conflicts with both freedom 0 (right to run software however you wish) and a more informal FSF stance that EULAs are bad.

It's just a bad license in terms of how it's understood and the text itself is of dubious quality due to how clearly it's written by a lawyer who got asked to say X without saying X.

Also, or-later is generally a bad clause for any license, since it hands over all licensing grants to whatever entity you trusted to write the license in the first place, so unless you wrote it yourself, that's not a good idea.
Though I have premium, I actually don't mind Youtube ads that much. Compared to regular old banners ads throughout the internet, Youtube ads feel much nicer and interesting to watch. Much more production value, like TV ads(because they literally are).

Of course, no ads are better than any ad, but I can't ignore the fact that ad-enabled Youtube is free.
When I was learning Blender as a teenager I discovered this and built a website that let you enter text and it generated a 3D model of the text.

> Some people can't seem to come to grips that trying to counter injustice with injustice only compounds injustice rather than cancelling each other out

It's always fascinating to me how the definition of "injustice" is so flexible to those espousing this view.

Do you also believe in eliminating, say, food stamps, which exclude people based on their income? After all, it's a program that doles out an economic benefit to some people but not others which seems like "injustice", yeah?

How about the ADA? Seems unfair that disabled people would get special accommodations over everyone else, right? Is that an injustice?

I believe it was my great-grandparents who sold their farm in Moulton, Texas, but kept the mineral rights, and as a result my father gets some fraction of a fraction of money out of it. It used to be close to worthless, but something about shale or fracking or other market changes has meant that he actually gets perhaps a few hundred dollars a year out of it now (or at least there was a good year or two in there; I'm not too up on the current state of things). I've never understood how this is supposed to continue - in theory, I'd get a further divide of it, but why would I get some right to go stick oil extraction equipment on some farmer's land because my ancestor lived there a century ago?

I don't know how you unwind such a system, but it seems like moving towards thinking of it as a collective resource of the citizens makes some sense, and I'm lead to believe that that's the way it's done in other places like Norway or Alaska.
In a way, but at this point your stack is Python/C++, where Python serves the role of a high-level language and C++ serves the role of the fast one. You're not optimizing Python-as-a-language at that point; you're FFIing to another codebase written in a different language.

So, if anything, the title should say "Python, when linked with C++ code, can make (...)"

SUSE has offered some level of support for RHEL/CentOS for a long time. They’ve had various programs over the years, long before this, to support customers who are on RHEL but might migrate to SLES.

The specific SKUs and details change from time to time, but it’s not really a new thing. As a trailing competitor, it’s a reasonable thing to do.

Wikimedia specifically avoids non-commercial licenses because it is such a nightmare to define what commercial activity is in a way that everyone can agree on. And the license does not help with figuring that out.

It seems like GFDL has an optional declaration that is referred to as the "Or later"-clause. Apparently wikipedia opted for that clause allowing automatic migration of licenses for all content to newer versions of the license.

In collaboration with the organisation behind GFDL, they used that clause to re-license everything under CC.

I think doing something like this is not somethings that should be taken lightly. you are risking the only asset the contract has: trust.

On the other hand: It is good to know, as an author, that you should not accept releasing stuff under a license that has an "or later" clause.

I've talked about this before [0], but tl;dr - American banks operate worldwide, and since they are subject to US laws, worldwide banking is de facto under US jurisdiction.

> The banks operate under a laundry list of laws outside of a criminal conviction, such as the Terrorist watch list as well as whole countries that are under US sanctions. US sanctions are a particularly large bite because the US will sanction you from the US financial system for working with the above, even if you are not under US jurisdiction.

> This, of course, doesn't mention the all the reporting used for detecting tax evasion or money laundering.

> US banks are absolutely a wing of the court by operating under the given rule of law, and through the US banks' worldwide influence this 'rule of law' gains a global prominence.

Exactly right. My mum has an iPad, secured by a PIN. This in itself is already an annoyance, but fine. Next, several services on the device have their own authentication. Say, the Apple ID. Email. Spotify.

The thing tech people fail to understand is that many people, including my mum, are not able to conceptualize these services, they lack in tech skills but also in abstract thinking in general.

She sees the device as a single physical device. She owns it and it should stop bothering her about access. She has it in her hands, what access?

> we need to start by fixing our school system

This is indeed the case. As a European it's very clear to me what the real cause of your problem is: property taxes. In Europe, schools are funded nationally, which means there isn't much difference between one school or the other. 'private schools' are not really a thing here because all of our public schools are good enough.

In US, your property taxes decide what kind of neighbourhood you grow up in. Good neighbourhood, good schools, bad neighbourhood, bad schools. This is huge.

And not just whether it goes down but it can save money. During summer peaks the cost of electricity to the utility on the open market can spike 10x or more. Almost all utilities have regulated profit which allows them to recover (most) costs, so shaving those peaks ultimately saves ratepayers.
I find it fascinating that some comments think this was wrong. Yes it was pretentious and arrogant. But it wasn't wrong.

It was right: too right, and was winner take all for those who figured it out (Amazon, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Google, many others), before spam invaded and made the conversations much harder.

The web architecture , technology , and protocols are still the decentralized underpinning of the internet, but people have forgotten why they're there. It's almost an archeological dig for the new generation. It's a foundation ready for decentralization but tech folks were frustrated when people CHOOSE to live in large cluster silos, socially (eg. meta, tiktok, Twitter etc) . But in most other domains with network effects, this clustering isn't entirely surprising. Network effects is often a euphemism for "winner take all". Same confusion as to why AOL was so popular for so long. But the web moves on.

Ask yourself: how did TikTok take off? Or how do new sites come about and grow (as is happening with Bluesky, Mastodon and others? How many businesses do I transact eCommerce with directly? If we truly had a big bad hierarchical dystopia , it wouldn't happen.

It requires hard work to get noticed, but the hyperlink (and HTTP/MIME/HTML/JS) is still the foundation of all of our interop. which is why Elon shutting off Twitter unauthenticated hyperlinking this weekend is the biggest signal he wants to tank the site: no more network effects for you!

What's interesting to me is that technical folks never quite "got" the web, the way the mailing list archives from the 90s understood the web. It was built, deliberately. People now assume it's a utility that was always there. They've not experienced true silos (CompuServe Vs AOL Vs GEnie, anyone?). But still, the evolution stalled. RSS Feeds were the closest we got to an evolution , though ActivityPub is finally showing promise 15 years after AtomPub belly flopped. People have to build compelling software to make users want a more decentralized experience, and that's hard to fund when your investors usually want winner take all network effects.
More in the tradition of code golf, my reasonably-terse gawk fizzbuzz, abusing conditional expressions:

#!/usr/bin/env gawk -f

BEGIN {
for (i=1;i<=100;i++) {
printf(" %2s", i%(3*5)!=0 ? i%5!=0 ? i%3!=0 ? i : "fizz" : "buzz" : "fizzbuzz\n" )
}
printf("\n")
}

No idea as to actual throughput though. I believe this is slower than explicit loop, if/then, or switch/case testing though (based on hazy recollections of past performance testing).
A lot depends on the definition of "understand" you want to use. According to some definitions there is already some kind of understanding going on in the current generation of LLMs, according to others true understanding requires a soul in the Christian sense and thus it is unattainable an LLM, and of course there is a spectrum of opinions in-between.

LLMs are not changing that, yet.

But well over a decade ago, we had high-level frameworks for translating "models" into all the gritty details of a crud app. Model description goes in. API endpoints, database migrations, admin UI, all auto-generated. I even developed something like it based on Django 0.96 (now abandoned).

It's not a stretch of the imagination to generate your model.py with model.txt containing the problem description in plain text.

I think you're over-estimating the quality of military firearms training and under-estimating how soldiers and marines are trained for war rather than policing.

Friendly-fire military incidents are common; while it's associated with inexperienced troops, the reality is that experienced and "elite" troops still have many friendly-fire incidents. And then there are all the civilians that are killed as collateral damage.

It is just the car, right? In SF once I had to commute with Bart to the south bay. I stashed my car at the parking lot in the south bay. It was the only way to make the commute feasible.

It is like the bay area built a BART to nowhere. You can get there, but then what do you do? It seems to me that a transportation system must either allow you to control it - a car - or be utterly predictable and efficient once you enter the system. In Europe it is the last case. You can get on a train, then take a tram. They run. They don't sit there making you wait. Once you get to the train you know you are going to get to your destination X time later. I wonder if you put electric scooters that could be checked out for a day at BART stations what would happen to ridership? Or something like that.
