> Education doesn’t have this kind of contagion.

It's never been more true that education is overpriced and underdelivers.

The contagion may not be "house goes bust and my house value goes down"... but there is a contagion: My degree is now no better than the degrees for the mills pumping out idiots while lowering standards and full of soft degrees filling the markets with "educated" people that aren't qualified to fill a coffee cup at starbucks.

If you don't see a market flooded with lower value results as devaluing the worth of higher education then you're not looking closely enough.
I've managed several remote teams and in-office teams.

Problems with motivation? Plenty.

But never had a problem with remote people slacking off, any more than those that come to the office every day.

I think you’re conflating criticism of Applied Category Theory™ with criticism of category theory.

I honestly feel bad for some of the students who got swept up into it - I’m not convinced they come out with the hard programming skills of someone working in PL semantics or the flexibility to work in other fields of mathematics that an algebraic topology- or geometry-focused category theory student might have.
You're fine with comparing African Americans to African immigrants, so let's now compare White Americans to African immigrants: most Americans are not highly skilled, while many African immigrants are. In your words, we should "have the American populace at large match that".

> The author could be dead

In that scenario it doesn't sound like there's a lot we can do to encourage the author to create new works. Which is, again, the explicit and primary goal of copyright law and jurisprudence.
You must be new to the Apple developer ecosystem? It'll take an anti-trust judgement to get them to allow development on non-Apple platforms.

It does have the most important one - eye tracking
It's been said many times and many ways, but the big thing will be the push to flakes. If they can bump that to stable before the project and it's integrations lose momentum, Nix might just become the defacto build system for Unix software.

The development experience of flakes is just unreal. Having seen it in-use at work was eye opening:

- You get all the Nix goodness, including package/dependency caching for multiple OS/arches with minimal configuration. Build times are practically reduced to automated searching and downloading.

- Dev environments are much cleaner and not spread across READMEs and makefiles. Adding a build dependency is one (1) SLOC in flake.nix. Adding environment variables is trivial, and it all gets shared with your branch.

- Invoking a quick 'nix develop' drops you into a shell w/ build dependencies, `nix build` builds the program, `nix profile install` adds it to your current environment, etc.

The list goes on. It will clean up shop once dev teams find out how little configuration is required to get this all working, if Nix move fast enough to ship this.

I studied a year abroad in a US public university back in 2008. Annual tuition back then was around $10k. In local currency, that was about 400,000.

Today, that tuition is $28k. But the dollar has also appreciated so real cost in local currency is now 2,268,000 - an appreciation of 467%.

In some ways, writing a novel (or producing certain types of works) is like buying a lottery ticket. Most of the time it will be worth nothing. But if it is a winner, then the buyer would like to be able to cash it in. If, on the other hand, you couldn't win the jackpot even if you hit all the numbers, then people would stop buying lottery tickets.

The purpose of copyright is to encourage people to write or produce creative works, even when the reality is that most works will not be successful in any way. If you take away the possibility of reward for the few works that are successful, then that will result in fewer works being produced.
> but why should the publishers who pay the author nothing benefit the most?

How do the publishers benefit from a work that enters the public domain? They have no more right to use the work than anyone else. I think the margins for publishers would be very low after a work enters the public domain.
The Supreme Court did nothing of the sort.

What is "merit" for access to education?
I don't think there will be fewer total cars (unless as a sibling asserts, they will be significantly more expensive), but I admit the possibility. Many (but not all; cf. parking) of the issues of cars in urban areas are related to cars being on the road, not being owned.
I don't believe the theory, but if you wanted to cut off protests, you'd want to leave the site up but severely degraded to delay migration away.
I just stumbled across multipass 2 days ago and it's been great for our local dev environment with a script to manipulate a bunch of things with multipass exec.

I just wish multiarch containers weren't such a pain to deal with.
Yeah, I admit that home-manager is already decked out with all of these options. There's some more manual effort that goes into using configuration.nix here. That being said, I've been seeing more software being packaged up as nixos modules. For example, you can configure a git installation globally now.
One thing not mentioned in the article or comments here is how open source enriches the historical significance of a piece of software. No game will stand the test of time like Doom has, thanks to its source being available (and of course, elegant).
In the US, the price adjustment is done by the stock exchange itself; the price on open is adjusted exactly by the dividend amount. It's not some collective emergent behavior of the market. (I don't know what non-US exchanges do.)
Man, it actually sounds like you've fallen for it too, or have I been whooshed?
AVs will be largely owned by fleets, which will cause people to need to own fewer private cars, which has a number of positive effects on parking, transit, and sentiment towards non-car-oriented policies and developments.
Then everyone will just use an auto-reply service.
I prefer this approach for most of my configs. Saves having to look up options how to set options in two places.

I was curious why you would pick such trivial little targets that I assume are popular right now when there are huge mainstream examples of the phenomenon. I wonder if it's just too obvious that people don't believe what they say they believe in the case of transubstantiation. Also not sure why offending people because of religion is not productive but apparently reiki or crystals is fair game.
There is also a massive difference between a $500 credit limit of hypothetical spending for a credit card and actually giving out $100,000 in an unsecured loan. At the worst case scenario, your credit card loss will probably on average be $50 per customer if not much less, but for unsecured student loans it will be much higher, which will require higher interest rates that further increase defaults.

The reason student loans aren’t dischargeable in bankruptcy is because it’s basically literally impossible to collect on them, you can’t repo a college education
I can vividly recall having this exact conversation in my grandmother's apartment, in 1995.
You know all those folk who claim the Earth is flat? You know they're joking, right?
Thank you, this is the best explanation of the utility that I've seen. I appreciate it.
I think I understand where you're coming from, but even ignoring resident salaries the majority of other healthcare spending is already government-funded, and in my ideal world all of it would be, so it's hard for me to be upset about this.

I don't understand your point about scientific knowledge, in my mind keeping people alive is at least equally as important as advancing scientific knowledge.
I totally agree, I think most level-headed people do.

It's a tricky problem. We want people to have equal opportunity to pursue college, even if their parents can't afford it. But at the same time, we don't want to subsidize cost creep.

Clearly the current solution doesn't work. Alas, we're deeply invested in it (literally), and each passing year the entanglement grows.

I think you can make a strong case for govt-funded tuition at public universities. But I don't know how to get to there from here without making a handful of people very unhappy.
Of course, countries with tax-funded higher education ration degrees. There are limited slots, and art courses are usually at the bottom of funding considerations.
Feels like the problem people have is they are approaching Nix as a tool, instead of a programming language. I see author just dismissed tutorial, because it was "too technical" for him. I think if you don't have patience to get through nix pills, nix is likely not for you. You won't have enough patience.

Also few things:

- he decided to manage sway via home-manager, then got suprprised that after he made changes to its configuration and run "home-manager switch" it restarted the service

- when searching for installing nix on another machine, he tried nix-user-chroot, nix-portable, proot. He pointed out that nix-user-chroot is abandoned. The reason is that it is no longer needed, what he wanted to do can be done with statically built nix[1]

My motivation was multi-sided and I went with a completely ad-hoc structure. I store different kinds of information in very different ways. I sometimes reorganize a section. I don't use any monolithic or gate-keeping tool - the information and data is far more important than the tools. The oldest sections go back about 30 years. I have a few conclusions:

(1) It takes time to reach critical mass. Until then, it's overhead. But even then some content was useful from the very start.(2) After that it became very reliable - it's there and I rely on it. (3) For me, it's clearly not just knowledge base, it's PIM - personal information management - KB is just mixed with the rest. (4) After decades, retrieval is still a mix of ideas and tools - not great. (5) I still wish for more efficient data entry / collection.

In balance, for sure a majority of the content is never accessed.That's fine. The system allows un-foreseen uses to happen commmonly and I like that. Do the positives outweigh the costs over the years? I have no idea. I add stuff constantly, some things I rely on again and again, some query ideas are one offs... and usually they work which is great. I know I have a very solid base for recollection. It's not clear how I would do a cost/benefit analysis.

I feel perfectly fine with the ad-hoc collection and storage strategy. That has worked well enough.

Why did it shut down?
This changes my perspective on the Android phone support situation. I always thought it was Qualcomm's fault because they didn't update proprietary binary blobs and so it was impossible without Qualcomm's help. But according to what Fairphone is doing, Qualcomm only stops making it easy, it's still possible for others to keep it updated. So Google and Samsung and others which have massive resources could easily keep a phone supported if they wanted to.
> Do you feel the same way about companies violating open source licenses?

Of course. There should be no copyright nonsense to begin with. Those licenses shouldn't even exist. Nor should anyone ever be punished for using leaked or decompiled proprietary source code or anything of the sort.

> Your medical records are also just bits in an EMH system as are your text messages to your significant others.

Medical records are collected by healthcare professionals who are ethically and probably legally obligated to keep it secret. This confidentiality exists for obvious reasons, nobody would consult doctors otherwise.

> Is it okay if I share those?

You don't have access to them. You can't share them even if you wanted to. Unlike copyrighted works, those bits shouldn't be and actually aren't distributed to massive audiences worldwide. Everybody understands that once information is out there it's essentially impossible to contain it. That's why they keep it secret.

Only copyright industry is delusional enough to want to sell copies of data to everyone on earth and control what they do with it.
I disagree it's the right thing to do, why do you think it is?
Haha, I was on the other end of this call around 2004-2005. Someone had a nice portfolio of iconography, UX constructs, etc., and I reached out to commission a theme for our software.

She had to ask her parents for permission because it turned out she was 15. I had to talk to her mom and convince her that we were an actual company trying to hire their daughter.

We used that theme for the life of the product, though!

Nobody sells it to individuals. Sprint sold customer location data through a subsidiary called Pinsight. Advan Research, Placer.ai, and SafeGraph are some current companies selling location data.
Making all cars more expensive would reduce car ownership. Adding extra expensive cars while keeping constant (or even reducing*) the price of cars at the bottom won't.

I'm 100% sold on the idea that the Nix model is, generally, the best way forward. But time and time again I hear the same thing: the documentation and UX suck.

Until I hear differently, I'm just gonna stick with my battle-tested shell scripts and symlinks. Sure, it's not the same degree of reproducibility, but also I've not yet had a practical reason to need whatever remaining percentage of the diminishing returns Nix offers that I'm not getting, at least when using my scripts combined with the use of other tools such as venv, nvm, cargo, etc, or even just building a lot of software from source.
Family lore says my great uncle died in the second wave on Omaha Beach and was posthumously awarded a Bronze Start. And I have no reason to doubt this -- the people transmitting this information are fairly trustworthy in my experience. However, the medal itself has been lost. I was able to find records confirming his death on June 6, 1944, but a few years ago when my father looked into it, he found that the records that would document his award were destroyed in the fire. I don't know if we will ever be able to replace the lost award or find out more about his death. Makes me sad. I wish they had made copies of these records.
The problem is why would I want to but an EV that's not a tesla? what would i buy a FORD?
Many worlds just falls out of superposition and entanglement. Those happen in quantum systems, and we are made of quantum systems. To avoid that you have to stipulate something additional that avoids putting macroscopic objects like devices, cats and brains into superpositions.

It's not strictly commercial vs non-commercial though, I could sell the only copy of something for a lot of money... and copyright ensures that it can't be legally reproduced.
Absolutely. I'm a huge fan of wool (mostly because no other material will do when I'm camping in middle of the wilderness). But the cost of it makes it difficult for a lot of people to afford.

In any case, my point really is that the right material to use in production depends on what your target market is. If you're aiming to sell at a more affluent crowd, then wool all the way! But you might also be aiming to sell at a larger, less affluent group that makes wool the wrong material due to its cost.

There's no absolute right or wrong here, only what's right or wrong for the market you're trying to address.

> Currently, Universities have no incentives to control costs in any way.

Most universities are the supporters of the existing government structure, so it seems to be a mutually beneficial relationship.
You're missing the point I was highlighting. Quantum mechanics makes very specific, very precise predictions about the probabilities of an observer seeing any of those states, which we have confirmed are correct to extraordinary precision.

The problem is explaining what is the relationship between these observed probabilities and the wave function amplitudes. If we say that all possible quantum states are realized in the universal wave function, we the need to explain why different states have different probabilities to an observer. The only way to do that in the deterministic world of MWI is to add a new postulate: one that says that for any state Xi, there are N observers in state Yi, where N = |psi(Xi)|, so that we can compute regular frequentist probabilities of an observer seeing a particular state over the amount of observers.

This is perfectly reasonable, but it is just as much an extra postulate as the measurement postulate.
One thing I noticed on Twitter is that Tesla is doing massive damage to AV perception. Waymo has an incredible safety record, and Tesla's should probably land some people in jail. But Tesla's recklessness is driving some of the hate towards Cruise and Waymo.
The analogy doesn't hold. Not all copyrighted works are or will be culturally significant, but all have the potential to be culturally significant. We have no way of knowing ahead of time. It's regulating haystacks as if any individual straw may actually be a needle.

That's because, the general availability of such data is of benefit to the government. Who needs the permission of the courts when the data is legally available "on the streets."
I don't think this db will help for cases where the only existing records were destroyed in the fire -- I don't believe they have independent sources, just the sources that everyone else has access to like government records. (Not 100% sure, though, maybe I missed something.)
Very Bad headline, given this is the second paragraph:

> The latest reports from Cox Automotive indicate that car buyers are much more interested in EVs now than in the past: 51 percent of buyers who participated in a recent Cox survey are considering buying a new or used EV, which is up from 38 percent in 2021. And Cox says that EV sales will break the 1 million mark for the first time in 2023, with sales reportedly accounting for about 6.5 percent of the entire auto market in the U.S. so far.
Is this vandalism, though? No actual damage is done to the car. It's even less invasive than a piece of tape, because the cone is just sitting there. It could even be done without touching the car itself. Just place a few mannequins in front and behind the car, so it can't go anywhere.
I think you're missing the point. None of the works would have been produced in the first place if there wasn't the possibility of making a return on the investment in time, energy, etc.

I don't see the problem. Is this not the value proposition of the cloud? At scale things like block level de-duplication and over-provisioning of compute are more efficient to say nothing of power and cooling. This efficiency drives down cost. As long as your data isn't leaking and you get the hardware you pay for when you need it what's the problem?

Two things you have to do to keep tuition costs down nowadays, by my estimation, unless you get a full ride scholarship or accepted by the an Ivy League:

- Do your first two years at community college. A lot of states have zero tuition costs for community college credits. I think in all 50 states its the absolute cheapest way to do get your first two years done

- Enterprising students may realize that if you're married, FAFSA (which is used to compute both federal and state aid) will use your married income and not your parents. Most students make little to money while in school. This automatically games the algorithm in your favor. Tricky to manage socially.

> One of my favourite things about creating sparklines like this is that I can create the SVGs entirely on the backend. I don’t need to worry about using a JavaScript charting library, or sending the “points” data to the frontend. The browser requests an SVG. The server returns it. Simple!

Me, I don't care where I create the SVGs. Most of my Clojure code is shared between backend and frontend (compiled and running on the JVM in the backend and compiled to JavaScript in the frontend). So I can generate SVGs wherever, it doesn't matter, the code is only written once. Or rather, it might matter, because my website uses server-side rendering, so the same thing must be generated on both sides.

I'll see myself out now.
