You can. Can the average Ring system user? My wife, bless her, struggles with tech and wouldn’t know what to do. Maybe there’s a video save button, then what? You email it to a police station email address? Where would she find a police station’s email address? Maybe she calls them and they tell her. What if the video file is too large for her email client? That’s a road block right there for her, she’d come to me for help with. What if I’m not available? What if there’s simply not much time for me to trim the video file and send it in pieces?

This is mostly whataboutism, but then again, the other side of this argument kind of is too. Sure maybe I send the cops a video, and maybe they recognize the person and go to their home. What are then the odds that the person is discriminated against or presumed guilty by the officer?

Anyway, the one click button is a feature that I don’t think deserves the flack. If the police are doing their jobs, they won’t just go in guns blazing on a guy just because he was snooping around my parked car in the driveway and I shot the video over.
i think the main difference is a pro can grab a cheap tool or make one from scratch to complete a task, whereas an amateur will hesitate to do a task unless he has the "best" branded tool
I think you're giving far too much credit to the reasoning abilities of people who filter their dates this way. They're not carefully coming up with heuristics to optimize their "application process". It's just plain ordinary shallowness.

But that aside, your entire analogy is based on the idea that you need to "win" iPhone Girl. What makes her worth winning, and why doesn't she need to win you?

You're allowed to have criteria too. One of mine is that I won't be with someone who has poor judgement. It's the reason I don't date women who are into astrology, or choose their partners based on the brand of their phone.

To use your analogy, iPhone Girl is a job that pays $30K a year while demanding 70 hours per week. That's not good enough for me, I don't care how nice her campus is.
This may not come as a surprise, but the practice of locking up expensive shit so people can't go grab stuff they aren't supposed to isn't unique to the Apple Store.

I've worked places that used this kind of process. It doesn't turn a 10 minute visit into a 50 minute visit without some kind of underlying issue blocking the cage pull from happening. Something along the lines of an interpersonal communication failure (forgot to request cage pull, person with key forgot/never got the request or the person with the key has gone into hiding ), a technical fluke (cage has electronic lock and it's EMP day), or a freak accident (person with the key, as well as the key itself, got disintegrated by ball lightning). As long as there isn't anything blocking, a cage pull is 10-15 min. If the person with the key was busy with a client, the requestor would normally take that over so they can run to the cage without the delay of having to finish that client.
> There will be some people who will not be able to figure out how to get a video of a crime to police because of that change. That is unethical.

No matter how rare that is? It has to be as easy as we can possibly make it, otherwise it's immoral? That other comment is right, by that logic we should share all information with police always.
Is it? I see homeless people who aren’t even stealing get kicked out of places like Target all of the time.

It’s clever. They’re essentially hacking your attention by taking advantage of the fact that you already signaled you have money and are willing to spend it. Getting you in the store and putting the hardware in front of you is the hardest part, and you did that yourself.

This is why people on a budget go to the grocery store with a list. The physical experience is designed to sell you more, and Apple has the margins to to design the fuck out of that experience.

Not really. The "special" quality attached to humans is only in creating copyright -- it has nothing to do with fair use arguments around derivative works.

"Machines and algorithms are not legally recognized as being able to author original non-derivative works"

Neither are monkeys. This doesn't mean a monkey's painting is any more or less derivative, or any more or less subject to a copyright claim. It only means that there is not a second copyright attached to the resulting work.
> I was put in the awkward position of attempting to renegotiate my salary after just getting hired, or not being a team player.

Stop letting them make you feel bad for renegotiating salary after the job description changed, and call them out on the complete bullshit "team player" phrase. If they fire you, might suck for a bit, but hopefully you'll end up better off. If they keep you, start looking for another job ASAP anyway. Good companies don't play those games, fuck them.

My colleagues get monday off if they are on-call over the weekend, and are paid an hourly rate for incident responses. I am not sure on the exact figure as I declined to go on-call and I would encourage you to do the same unless the compensation is favourable. Developers are not support staff, developers being on-call allows the business to skimp on proper support processes.

Really it sounds like the author is advocating for a new type of internet- one that requires sufficiently advanced technical knowledge to interact with, similar to back in the day.
Do you know if the item was in stock at that store? I've been able to do same-day pickups, even right after an item was launched. Not all variants are in stock, of course.
> It's also "open source". Which part of it? Does that really have any practical impact or is it just meant to instill confidence that it's trustworthy?

It means two things: 1) the founders are idealistic techies who like the idea of open source and want to make money off it, 2) they're trying to sell it to other idealistic techie founders B2B. You don't mention things in an elevator pitch unless someone's looking to buy it.
They say they don't have an on call rotation. You say you want some amount increase during on-call rotations included in your offer, even though they don't currently do an on call rotation. If they push back, you say "Well you don't have an on-call, so if it never comes up it never comes up". If they flatout refuse, they intend to have you work for free.
I don’t think the “logic” you’re pointing out really tracks, to be honest. We should share information with police when we have reasonable belief that a crime is being committed.
I can’t really speak to the other brands, but the Epiphones under $500 start to, in my experience, suffer from pretty meaningful playability issues- and I’d argue that’s even more important of a problem for a beginner.

I’d definitely not recommend going below $500 if possible. That’s price as new, btw. Used guitar is a great option.

Btw Plato disagrees and I'm with him. (But I am aware of the argument that fiction can intrigue)

Fiction sets unreasonable expectations. Why not use history? The bad guys sometimes win, but at least people learn something closer to reality.

How much time was wasted learning about symbolism? How much time did we waste learning how to be entertained?

Today I do none of this. Non-fiction is far more interesting than someone making stuff up. I'd much rather have good reading and writing skills than the ability to decode entertainment as an adult.

> is about filing off the edges and rounding all corners to make the world safer for the common denominator and i don't have to like it.

In my opinion it is about making the online world safer for advertisers. The advertisers are the real customers of the internet - users are just the product.

The evolution of the internet is being increasingly driven by profit seeking and most common way people try to monetize the internet is through advertising. That is primarily what drives censorship and moderation - a need to protect the advertiser's brands.

The old internet that so many people are pining for in this thread comes from a time before big ad-tech. All the old schools forums, newsgroups etc didn't care about making a buck - heck most of them probably ran at a loss. All of that was eaten by social media, there was a transition away from internet communities, to for profit businesses instead.
A constitution is a piece of paper. At the end of the day, especially in a representative democracy is it's people.

For the most early-Reddit-like experience, I would recommend Lemmy.

I was kinda interested in checking it out for a while but suffered from a bit of choice paralysis not knowing where to start, but since most of them are federated, you see content from a bunch of instances at once, so that removes a bit of the risk.

I ended up creating an account on lemmy.world which is (afaik) the largest instance by user count. Beehaw is (afaik) the second largest, and it has more of a "safety"/highly moderated approach - which is one of the reasons I wanted to distance myself from Reddit, so I crossed that one off my list.

This map was posted on HN if you want to examine the relative sizes of the instances and see the lay of the land: https://lemmymap.feddit.de/
"... always having to be within X minutes of a device."

Back when I was in a technical role I used to be rostered on-call every few weeks. That included being on a conference call within five minutes of being paged (yep, oldstyle). This meant planning ahead to be at home at all times that week.

We were paid to be on-call and paid hourly if a call actually came in.

These days I see people saying they're expected to be on call and not being paid more than they're already paid. That's crazy.
Heres the trick they use:

Dont pay anything until the very last minute and spend like there's no tomorrow, then when the credit eventually runs out and the tax man is knocking, declare bankruptcy and feign ignorance claiming for the rest of your life that the system was out to get you and youre just a victim of corruption.

Please get me in contact with your dealer because apparently the “legal” stuff I’ve been getting is not as potent as I thought.

> That is quite a challenge, but haven't you ever created something just for the fun of it?

Sure I’ve painted things that are on my wall and created lots of utility apps that I use personally but I keep them to myself. If I thought they were something that could get me some extra pocket money or better then I would be looking for ways to monetize. I have zero interest in sharing my potential intellectual property for free.
This makes no sense with LGBT, since:

1. We still don't know why people are LGBT.

2. If everyone is feminized then there should be a clear decline in lesbians, transmen and bisexuality in women.

EVs use hybrid braking, not 100% regenerative. They will fall back on traditional brakes when the required deceleration exceeds regenerative capacity (due to rapid braking, full battery, etc). It reduces the problem, but I'm not sure about "pretty much solved".
> Possession of copyrighted material in itself is not illegal.

The means of procurement matters. If they are in possession of copyrighted material because someone without the proper rights gave it to them illegally, then the possession itself is also illegal. It's illegal to own knowingly stolen property in all 50 US states and most countries, and while we could argue to the end of days about whether copying a file truly qualifies as stealing, the legal precedents are very clear on the matter.
AI Search Engine
How do you think featured snippets will be effected by ai search engines. Is it still a good idea to create content for position zero.
I think I see where you’re coming from here. Presuming that the police are incapable of performing their job without killing innocent people. We see a lot of that on the tv these days, so I understand your perspective. But if we presume that the police are incapable of performing their jobs, then you’re saying it’s never really worth involving them at all. And that’s an even bigger problem.

Similar to what you see today, but wide spread acceptance and adoption. Companies that that are worried about privacy issues today will get over their reservation by 2025. Many software jobs will provide some kind of access to one of big tech models.

I think terms will emerge around querying LLMs similar to how Googling became a term. Peoples’ behaviors will change and they’ll query models more regularly for more use cases. AI generated contributions will become more culturally acceptable.
To create a new business that aims for respecting user privacy, it is indeed a daunting task. However, it is just as well if the likes of Google are made to respect privacy; they won't be worse off in the long run anyways. There could be evaluations after a year or two to see how much really changes. There should be strict measures that enforce privacy-conscious business models and prevent companies from unreasonably retaliating.

On a more general note, it's ridiculous that the status quo is so entrenched to the point where discussions about privacy often feature doomerism and cynicism ad nauseum, as this thread shows. For all the hubbub (in the US, at least) about human rights, about justice, about democracy (however misguided some of these pleas may be), there is a sickening lack of attention when it comes to privacy. When you realize you live in a backwards (literally? figuratively?) world, do you point it out? Will the others merely laugh at you? Is your vision of something different just a worthless hope? I, for one, fervently wish that more people become antagonistic to the idea that privacy is meaningless or not worth fighting for.
Base comp. I'm on call 365/7/24. But I get called about twice per year. If I can't be resposible for it, I just make arrangements. It's a good salary and I dont think twice about it. I'm tier 3, and tier 2 should be the last call made if everything works out.

20 years earlier I was a kid working at an ISP earning 31k USD salary with the same 365/7/24, and getting paged about three times a week off hours, and most of them being drive outs, either to the POP an hour out, or our furthest problem client 3 hours away. I had no idea that it was a bad deal. Even with all the learning I was doing ... it was a bad deal. Most of those pages during the winter were our AC freezing cause we wouldnt pay maintanence on it. 120kbtu in a 12x16 room, the AC would freeze shut, and I'd drive in at 2am to leave a window open. One side of the room was -10F, the other side was 120F. We didn't stay in business. It's how I got in with life and went to college.

From a business perspective it’s hard to argue that their approach isn’t working even if they don’t sell to you that’s irrelevant the only thing the bottom line cares about is the totals not individual slaws.

A 50/50 chance to make close to 3x the profit is a huge net win for Apple. It’s also why they don’t cater to the low end of the market.
Are you just... forgetting about the rest of the world other than the midwest USA? Building car-centric infrastructure is a choice. Some bad choices were made in the US when cars were new and shiny, but we're making better ones now. For example:

Boomers still fetishize their cars, but that's a self-correcting problem that won't be around much longer.
In a nearly 40 year career one thing has been constant for me…your position will always change and evolve beyond what you were told in your interview. That leaves you with the options to either adapt to the new normal, to reject the change and move on, or to try and renegotiate (and good luck with that last one).
My solution to this problem was to join a makerspace collective. Now if I lack the perfect tool for a job there's a good chance the makerspace has it. If not, I buy the tool and leave it at the makerspace and my garage contains only the tools I use all the time.
First: the AI isn't that accurate yet. It gets shit wrong. It's almost there but not yet. Maybe in 24 months... but a lot of people think we hit a wall.

Second: implementation is harder then design. If AI can do implementation it can for sure do design. And it is demonstrably true that chatGPT can do design just as well if not better than implementation.
> Do you get extra comp for being on call? Do you get extra for responding to incidents out of hours?

No, and no.

> Or is it baked into your base comp?

Also nope. :(

> management is about to start asking folks to be on call. I'm not sure what to ask for or if its normal to not get anything extra.

I'd say it's quite reasonable to ask; my understanding is that SRE at Google is +$10k vs. SWE; you could attempt to do research on those positions to see what the relative difference between them is and use that as an example of what the market pays.

But in my experience, you can ask, management will "listen", and then proceed to do bumpkiss. Management theory these days, AFAICT, is geared towards driving company's into the ground by trying to extract more and more value from less and less, until there's nothing left. Good luck.

I hope they listen: IME "yes, we'll pay" answers here keep good engineers around, and "no" readily drives out good engineers.

I'll also echo what someone else says in the thread:

> If I'm working past 5pm, sometime in next few days, I will work X hours less.

As an Emacs user: don't underestimate the amount of code running inside Emacs, especially if you install a lot of packages. I measure Emacs 28.2 as shipping 1.86M lines of elisp (a bit more than is in the source repo), the core is 540 kLoC of .c/.h files, and I have ~273 kLoC elisp amongst a small set of packages.

Sure, Electron itself is probably still an order of magnitude more.
As an ex AWS I’ll tell you that you don’t get paid nothing for being on call
> A reasonable interpretation, in my eyes, is that the training process is a black box which takes in copyrighted works and produces a training model. The training model is a derivative work of the inputs.

Its unmistakably not a derivative work of the inputs individually or collectively, since a derivative work must be itself an distinct work of authorship (the same as the work of authorship requirement for copyright), and the output of a purely mechanical process is not.

The collection of inputs itself might be a derivative work of the individual inputs, before considering Fair Use.
OP's claim requires the AI to produce work. If you're attributing the work the AI produced as my work, that's fine; but it means you believe the AI doesn't produce work at all; which would render the OP's claim not only false, but nonsensical.
yea it was pretty obvious they were spamming on the day, when you could see numerous reddit posts announcing that "threads is launching" with pretty much the exact same title in multiple subreddit, all from different accounts.
Those comments were more at pastmaps.

For elevation data, we store our DEM/DSM in S3 as LERC [1] COGS, LERC has a WASM bundle which I think can be used in the browser. We found LERC COGs to be one of the most space efficient ways of storing highresolution DEM/DSM data [2], If you wanted to you could fetch LERC tiles directly out of a remote COG and use that directly for the terrain heights.

I am more focused on storage/archiving/publishing of our LiDAR capture program [3] than web based visualizations of it though, so I am unsure if a LERC COG would even be better for you than a PNG TerrainRGB.
