Fundamentally this is about wealth distribution. The society do want those data to be used for AI. It's just the data providers should be compensated, instead of OpenAI just gatekeeping their product that critically depend on those data. The original model of copyright just doesn't work anymore in this new era.

Music streaming has changed the music industry. Can we expect something similar happening in AI?
As someone else already answered I'll just add another point in case you didn't know the full picture:

4) when neither three letter agency nor big business can collect data, contract with three letter agency in another country that can legally collect and get it from them.

That's how Five Eyes share data, basically removing the need to follow the law against data harvesting on Americans by NSA etc. (as shown by Edward Snowden).
Personally I prefer using kbin, that's another option. Kbin and lemmy both can communicate so it doesn't matter which you use. feddit.de and kbin.social are kbin instances.
I think fiction has a place in education for sure, but I think nonfiction, especially longer nonfiction reads (not textbooks, something less dry), should have an equal or slightly larger presence than fiction.

My favorite english class was either technical writing or freshman comp 1 because both were focused on nonfiction pieces, which was so rare elsewhere in my education.
Also love the site.

I’m a native speaker and I frequently experience this reading workout instructions. Something about exercise language in general feels very clunky.
>> I haven't seen a single demo where somebody picks a virtual object up.

Why do I need to do that? It’s a great demo but it’s not something I need to be able to do day to day. And that seems to be the strategy from Apple. Make it a useful device for daily tasks rather than a gaming specific device or a device for doing something “new”. If you’re paying $3500 it needs to be immediately useful.

Think about it, you’re trying to tell me Vive is great and their marketing strategy (word of mouth) was a huge success…I have never seen one in the wild and Occulus seems to be much more popular. In other words their strategy hasn’t worked so probably not a great idea for Apple to copy it.
Well, the PBS article, first of all, is extremely poorly written. How can you write that plastic is "indestructible" and that it "breaks down" into microplastics that enter our bodies, in the same sentence, and not spot the contradiction.

Also, it actually says "All used plastic can be turned into new things, but picking it up, sorting it out and melting it down is expensive." Later down in the article: "Recycling plastic is 'costly,' it [the report] says, and sorting it, the report concludes, is 'infeasible.'"

So, it does sound to me like there's an important distinction here where recycling plastics (or, at least, disposing of it responsibly even when that's costly) is possible, it's just not happening.

Now, my own perspective: I live in Austria and Germany, where governments have been doing collections of plastic trash separately from residual household waste since the 90s, and are asking households to pay steep prices for disposing of residual waste, but not for disposing of plastic. When I lived in Bavaria, disposal of plastics worked through recycling centers, where people had to separate their plastic waste into half a dozen containers for different kinds of plastics under the watchful eyes of employees educating consumers on what goes where, and doing that kind of separation was the only way you could dispose of plastic at all, without paying the very steep price (effectively a fine), for disposing of it through residual household waste. -- There are a lot of recycling centers in Bavaria, usually no more than 10 minutes' drive from where you live, even if you live in a rural area. And they are packed on a Saturday. Nobody can tell me that people aren't using them.

I'm having a hard time imagining that the government would ask households to go to all that trouble and then just send it to landfill. They'd have to make sure to keep it a secret, because people would rightly be angry if they knew this, and they'd have to pay for it through back channels of sorts. This kind of scandal, while it seems possible, hasn't actually broken yet, to the best of my knowledge, over the course of the several decades that this practice has been ongoing an in any of the governments that have been doing this, which are many.

So, my working assumption until this particular scandal actually breaks, is that alarmism coming from environmentalists in the U.S. is really about poor waste-disposal habits on the part of the American consumer, and not some kind of conspiracy by big oil that governments are in on, to make us believe that plastic is anything other than the devil.
This feels analogous to hiding in C++. In C++ by default member functions in a base class don't overload with member functions of the same name in a derived class. They get hidden.
I often see the argument that people who write the code should do the architecture as well. Maybe on a small development effort it can give better alignment.

When things scale up and in bigger orgs though, it doesn't work nearly so well. There are so many different business and technical requirements and strategies to take into account and signed off. This is a full time job. It may lead to really annoying things being imposed on the developers that they would never have chosen.

However, this does not mean that the architects are idiots, although that is of course possible!
It could be a pretty good SME for the founders, but there are a few possible issues.
1. You have investors who expect returns and don't want (or can't have) dividends.
2. You have employees with stock options that want them to become something.
3. Your company could be set up as a C-Corp, if your intention is to have a stable business and earn dividends you'd rather have it as an LLC with founders as members.

Basically, issues happen when you take VC money but don't end up going the growth startup path. Buffer had the same problem, but they managed to earn enough money to buy their investors out.
The UK's virus numbers did too. But because they ran out of Excel rows and didn't know it.
I love X11 dearly but I'm still happy using a single non-HiDPI screen because my normal working environment is basically 2x2 tiled 80x24 xterms (with multiple sets of them on different virtual screens) so the limitations just don't really affect me.

Wayland has clearly chosen a set of trade-offs that are far superior for a lot of users and I fully expect anybody sticking with X11 to gradually become more and more of an outlier over time, and that's entirely fine by me.

(I use fvwm2 with a sub-40 line config that starts by turning almost all the usual features off, plain xterm, and heirloom vi, I'm already perfectly used to being an outlier and so long as I can coax it all into keeping working I don't see any reason to complain that lots of other people prefer to use things from this century instead ;)

If you are responsible for this the very least you can do is own up to it and apologize.

Trying to assert that you were doing what you thought was right only presents the image that your company is run poorly.

The correct thing to do is to admit that your best efforts were not aligned with best practices, and look into remediation.

A lot of VC funds wouldn't accept your dividends because this type of income might create additional taxation and reporting obligations for them.
Static site generation with low-code integrations for various forms etc do not take much time to set up and host with Github Pages.

Only $4/mo for a personal account upgrade if you want the repo to be private too.

I moved to Obsidian Publish recently for my blog - so I can keep my knowledgebase, notes, and writing all in one place. $10/mo ($8 on yearly plan).

Carrd.co premium (something like $45/year) for one-pager sites for most other uses - how many small project sites actually need more than one page?

The most time I've spent with this "stack" is reading documentation to decide to move from pages to Obsidian+Carrd.

Definitely cost me less than 400 euro of my own time.

Absolutely - I don't see code reviews as a replacement for mentoring, more as something to augment it, or direct future mentoring sessions.

I've had quite a few experiences where I've suggested a change in a code review, and found out that the author lacked knowledge in that area. That's then turned into a future topic to focus on in future mentoring sessions.

Agree about design too, I don't think code review is really the place for that, since it's often a bit late by then (plus it's hard to get a sense of the overall intent and architecture from code chagnes alone).

It's a shame it doesn't happen formally more often, but one place I worked in the past always had a separate design review (which needed at least one person to approve) before coding could even start. This was fairly informal, but caught a few major potential design problems early on.
C compilers already optimize for CPU instruction order on multi-issue pipelined CPUs. Multithreading in C, however, is left as an exercise to the coder. You manually need to use locks and make sure no race conditions are occurring, which is hard in large programs. Also, no function is thread safe unless you're explicitly told so.

I don't use Rust very much, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the ownership and borrowing system makes the compiler fail if you transfer data to child threads and then use it in the main one. It's just safer to parallelize code, and you'll do it! (unlike in C, where it may be better not to risk it)
That's frankly speaking untrue - we have one off-hand comment by one person from Sun for this, and multiple claims opposite.

Also, ZFS goes with the same licensing interpretation as Linus used with AFS.
Same old Murican business model. Bill Gates did it, Zuck did it, Jeff did it, Elon does it. Embrace Extend Extinguish, Facebook forced tracking into the web and made profiles for people who didn't sign up, Google absorbed everything, ect.

The American business model has been Robber Barons. Since the 1800s, at least. OpenAI is the latest. The reality is, you can never give anything valuable to the 'free market' and an internet connected device, because you're never going to be able to govern it according to your values.
I've been noticing this kind of sentiment online a lot. Seems like a recipe for an accomplished, unhappy life. Ambition, this time for "doing", whatever that means, without considering your and other's happiness.

How does this sound appealing?
Surely that only works if you have a pleasant experience and linger willingly. Then you develop positive associations with the store and the products.

If you have a negative experience from being forced to wait, then that's a different animal. How many of us relish the idea of visiting the DMV after previously experiencing long lines?
Very nice, I was looking to build something similar.

Definitely needs a fullscreen mode with timer and video. Plus a way to configure step reps/timer :D
According to Wikipedia that was a problem ... 20 years ago. That version compiles today. It's called "Traditional vi" and the Sourceforge site where it's hosted doesn't have a valid certificate so I didn't visit it.
I can't imagine a similar position would cost 50k in Chile. Also, offering remote in EU gives you access to places like Romania, Slovakia or Bulgaria, where you can get good enough talent for half of that.

It can also be 100% of the sum and just use them as contractors (with benefit of quick & easy firing if needed, no lengthy HR dances).
And make no mistake some people will still miss the notification after all these warnings
> A substantial rewrite is developers asking for a do-over, which is infantile behavior

That depends entirely on the reasons why they ask for a rewrite.

"I like this tech better", "I don't want to work with this tech", "This new tech is shinier": I agree with you, those are not solid engineering reasons.

"This doesn't interface well with the rest of the system because...", "This is going to cost us in the future because, ...", "This won't scale well because..."; I strongly disagree.

You may notice that the operative difference here is the term "because". If someone can give a quantifieable, technical, verifieable reason for a rebuild, then management should at least hear the guy out. They can still say no. But then the engineer did his job, and if the whole show goes haywire later because the 14 year old Java backend fails to scale up and the company loses money over that, nobody can say he didn't warn them.
Interesting that it's just this one step that they stick to the old 80s technology. The rest of the design, inspection, weaving, cutting, etc. seems to have moved on, understandably.

By the way, did you know that (some) modern looms use jets of air/water to send the weft thread across the loom? No more shuttles or mechanical passing of the thread. Amazing.

No, you are wrong, even by 1999 some people was running some 486's instead of Pentiums. And some people in 2004 used FreeBSD with Lynx and Mutt on them.
Not so many, true, as AMD K6/K7's where good enough to be close to Pentium II and III machines.
The punch cards will be directly controlling the loom, it looks like it is read electro-mechanically. Maintaining the card reader is presumably a minor part of maintenance for the whole loom. One person probably has the skills to maintain the weaving part and the reading part.

If you replaced the input with USB or similar, you now also need someone with IT skills if that part goes wrong.

That makes no sense to me - you don't become a billionaire just by avoiding taxes, you have to actually create at least a billion dollars worth of surplus value first. And the only way to create a billion dollars worth of surplus value is to create many more billions of total value.

If you want Jeff Bezos to pay taxes on the value of Amazon (which is the measure by which he is a billionaire) you basically force him to sell Amazon. How else can he pay the taxes?

In such a system, where you will be forced to sell your success, Bezos (or anyone else) would never have created Amazon.

It's worth keeping in mind that Amazon generates several billions of dollars in taxes every year. Every one of the million plus employees of Amazon pays taxes, every transaction is taxed, every service Amazon buys from other companies is taxed and so on. If you kill Amazon by going after Bezos, you have caused society a net loss, even if you get all his money.

Economic equality is a different topic IMO. If a teacher makes 10% the money of a doctor you get problems in society since teachers can't buy houses priced for doctors and so on, but the difference in wages between workers has nothing to do with billionaires. Nobody became a billionaire from earning wages.

This has to be solved from the bottom up, not from the top down. Increase minimum wages, dictate working conditions and so on. You don't have to target billionaires to do that. Most countries in Europe has at least one billionaire, in fact lately the wealthiest person in the world is French.

You could probably find an old timer who could bridge the gap fairly easily and lead a team of a couple of engineers to do it in a reasonable amount of time. I'm guessing that program is written in basic or assembly which wasn't too hard to learn on those old machines.
I like Pelican. It's Python and has been around for forever so I don't have to roll my own. I realized after a while that I was rewriting Pelican for no particular benefit and the things I thought were limitations of the tool were just my inability to see how to interface with it.

There is no benefit whatsoever in me rolling my own tech unless it actually allows me to do something I can't do otherwise, and a lack of imagination has been my biggest limiting factor.

Once I saw this I also stopped trying to reimplement Django from scratch too. But, doing these custom and also abandoned own website rolling projects did teach me a lot about how Django and Pelican work!
€50k before taxes for the employee comes usually somewhere around €85k for the company. Which is still cheaper than a US hire I guess.

The only data you provide is "your experience" which is of little value here considering we don't know the extent of it nor its relevance. If anything, the way you express your opinion so strongly, one would hesitate to think that you have any experience in a big corporation with several teams working on different product and/or part of the same product. The context in which having senior dev focus less on coding and more on reviews, documentation and design is common place.
Many, many people care about:

- Screenshots and sharing the screen;

- Global hotkeys;

- Alternative / switchable / tunable keyboard layouts and input methods. Not fancy stuff, just, say, typing Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, and Japanese characters.

All these things are is some sort of disarray under Wayland currently. Once they are properly implemented, I may consider switching.

I want Wayland to succeed. But it's not entirely there yet.
Empathy and imagination can be found in plenty of non-fiction.

I enjoy reading fiction, mostly for escapism although the good ones also enrich me, but there is plenty of non-fiction that can feed those qualities. Non-fiction that focuses on the psychology, motives and feelings of people, and focuses on special, different , or creative individuals, might dk just that.

The autobiography "Lab Girl" comes to mind.

Short comment: ssh -X is not what network transparency means.

You still have ssh -X functionality just fine without any network transparency required, e.g. waypipe or rdp (e.g. builtin on gnome) or vnc, .... Of course that is not going away.

Well, as a final argument I would ask you look into any hobby or commercial or industrial machine shop on any scale and note the complete absence of these vices, despite the original patent being issued 100 years ago.

I use strap clamps on a hobby mill to hold steel while being machined, they are plenty rigid.
a LLM is closer to a very primitive brain than a search engine.
A search engine can't make mistakes, it output data verbatim, it may not be able to find something, but it's never making mistakes.
A LLM have an input, and an output, which can wildly differ, it can respond to your demands, even trigger other software with relevant data.

It's way closer to a primitive brain than to a search engine.

Since GPT doesn't understand what a trolley or tracks or saving or why it's a problem, what is even the point of this?
Many people absolutely doubt that.

There is absolutely no reason to believe it so far - from all of my experience, both VR and AR are technically inferior to a screen in almost every way that actually matters, except for a short demo.
lol. imagine having a device capable of searching through the sum of humanity’s knowledge at your fingertips, and making a statement like this.
20 years ago was 2003, four years after C99. First x86-64 CPUs were released 20 years ago. Compiling 20 year old C codebase should not be an issue at all if it was half-decent to begin with.

Compiling pre-ANSI-C and pre-POSIX codebases might have challenges, but standardization has really gotten us lot of stability here.

I'd expect conservatively written C99/POSIX code to be usable certainly for another 20 years, there is just so much inertia there

When has this happened?

I don't have an Apple Store in my country, but last time I bought Watch in Tokyo and an iPhone in NYC, I told them I know exactly what I want and the transaction was super quick.

In NYC I was even impressed by it, because I just talked to the sales rep for the tiniest bit and a colleague came over and inconspicuously handed her a box with the phone mid-walk. I haven't noticed how she (the sales rep) signaled for it. It almost felt like buying drugs.
