Really a great, well written article. They've got the "Town" them embedded in the page and every time I hear that song it really brings me back. In Diablo 1, going deeper and deeper into the dungeon was meaningful. Coming back out of the dungeon, barely alive, to the peaceful yet gloomy music was impactful.

I've played all the Diablo games when they were released. I'm sad about what they created for Diablo 4. It's obviously been really successful for them, but I have absolutely no want or need to play through the game again. It's a slog, running across the map, equipment with so many stats that I don't know what's actually better or worse, fighting monsters on the surface and in dungeons that all feel the same. There's hardly any time journeying into the depths of hell, or into deep, deep dungeons, but a lot of the plot instead revolves around the jungle for some reason and how the "jungle gives and takes". A big focus on builds and grinding as opposed to fun. It's been sacrificed on the altar of "live service" and, unlike Diablo 1, you won't be able to play it in 25 years, nor will you really want to.

> The "great" thing about the system is that the poorer the employees are, the lower a wage they will accept.

People who accept low wages are poor by definition. But the only solution to this is opportunity. You can't get there by prohibiting that person's current best option. You don't make more money by working 40 hours at $30/hour than 70 hours at $30/hour.

> If you don't believe that, do you believe that price gouging does not exist by definition?

"Price gouging" is when sellers raise prices during a temporary period of high demand. It's not even obvious that this is bad -- it disincentivizes hoarding and makes sure goods are still on the shelves during an emergency for people who really need them.

Paying the market rate for labor is what any business in a competitive market has to do or a competitor will do it, undercut them on price and put them out of business. The market rate for unskilled labor is low. The known solutions are things like learning a trade so you can do skilled labor, or automating production or reducing housing scarcity so that prices come down and the wages unskilled workers can earn go further.

Many of the laws passed in this regard are highly counterproductive, because they don't do those things, they result in having your hours cut with no change to your hourly wage for the people directly affected, and higher prices for people in general.
Eh, many times, especially in the 95-97 era overcommit was not optional... that is the telco could not physically provide enough lines. The other issue we ran into was 'short-distance' calls over telco borders. In our case GTE didn't have enough connectivity to SWB to handle the number of long running connections our users. Customers in those cities would get a different mix of busy signals when we had available capacity. Was over a year before a new fiber project between the telcos was finished before the situation was resolved.
It's not too bad. At least, not nearly as bad as naming your language after the most common English verb of motion, especially when your company is literally Google itself.
> Influencers think they get around this ethical conundrum by only reviewing stuff they like and refusing to post negative reviews.

Any time I see an source that is only producing positive reviews, I know for a fact that I can't trust what that source has to say.
It seems you took my comment personally but it was about not just your comments but the overall tone of the fly.io communication (see recent blog post regarding funding) and approach to issues (three days of silence on a dead instance). You view processes and guidelines as chains versus as a ladder to help you climb a cliff. If the processes and communication was good then you'd know when you should self-restrict and when you shouldn't. You'd be empowered to make decisions within a framework that benefits fly.io the most versus being left to guess yourself. You'd understand why you should do that sometimes and why it's a better option for everyone.

Ask HN: Have you noticed competitors in search results after using Google Ads?
As a side project, I created an app. The name of the app is somewhat obscure. Whenever I did a search for the app’s name, I never saw Sponsored links get returned from a search.

Recently, to help the app gain some traction, I used Google Ads—and ever since doing so I’ve noticed Sponsored links frequently get returned when doing a search for the app’s name.

Anyone else noticed something similar? Thoughts on why this is happening? The name of the app is obscure enough that no one would be creating ads targeting it specifically.
Yeah the term as been usurped. Obviously there's usefulness to cryptographic data structures. But what casual bystanders hear when they hear "blockchain" is "redo the financial world!" and "throw away the Fed and banks!".

This looks great, I'm just hesitant to sign up with any startup-y looking company these days that says they're going to be around for my lifetime. You might get more traction from people like me if you guarantee that our data will be easily exportable and testing methods reproducible.

I imagine the testing methods might be your bread & butter, but it's so hard to trust any claims if the results aren't auditable. I think about how these results will matter a lot more to me in 40-50 years, and how unlikely it is for ANY business to last that long.

In many cases yes, they didn't invent the technology per se. But in those cases they improved or refined the tech and by virtue of being a public agency released the information freely for public use.
I understand a tech-enthusiasm driven deployment of "smart" devices in your home — not for me, you understand, but I get that people like shinies — but when is this going to end?

No, the whole point of the article is that for the workers it is always 7 days no matter whether it is 35, 40 or 48 "hours", since external costs like child care stay fixed. So the expensive resource decidedly is not labor but time.

If model weights aren’t copyrightable, derivative model weights are not a “work”, derivative or otherwise, for copyright purposes.

If they are, and the license allows creating finetuned models but not using the output to improve the model, then the derived model is not a violation, but it might be a derivative work.
I got excited about this and then I noticed it's US only.
I've already put evidence and data for grow comparison between EU and US in my post.

Can you provide evidence of your claims?
https://archive.ph/v3gsM
There's a few places where these comparisons break down.

First, there is a difference between being away from home and being away from home while being on site 24/7. I'm pretty sure the business traveler and the majority of farm workers don't fit into the latter category. Those who do, such as people working in remote parts of the world, are usually paid quite handsomely.

Second is the level of compensation being provided. Even if you could earn $1,400/week every week of the year as a farm hand, which you cannot since it is seasonal work, you would still be earning less than most people who have to travel for business on a frequent basis. In other words, certain people have their pay padded to account for working away from home.

Finally, there are a whole host of other differences. To a certain degree, these laborers are considered replaceable. (They may not have lost their jobs, but they have lost hours.) The hours worked are rarely guaranteed, particularly if their role is tied to production (rather than maintenance). And if they do have a job outside of the farm, they're going to have far less flexibility to pick up extra hours even when the pay is better (not everyone is a migrant worker or a student).
> …on the other never ever pay for any of it.

How do you know that the parent comment here doesn’t ever pay for journalism? For all you know they pay for literally every publisher out there except for this particular one.

I pay for some journalism, but I reader mode others. Things rarely exist at the polar extremes. Usually my willingness to pay depends on the value proposition, if they’re asking me to pay for a lot of content I have no interest in I’m not likely to subscribe.

Perhaps it’s less a moral question for the consumer and more a logistical question for publishers to make it viable to pay for only the content we actually consume.

> It's been years since I've encountered the required latch to fill a tank unattended.

> Maybe it's country specific.

Sounds like it.

In every state in the US that I've been in in the last 20 years (which is about 1/3 of them), I've never encountered a pump without the latch. I think most people use the latch when filling up, even though they're present - it's just much more convenient to have the filling process automatically stop when the tank is full.
… Because being required to live on a farm 24/7 sounds like a situation where hopping over to the asparagus farm that’s located conveniently next door is easy + allowed. Yup.

Don't do this. IT's akin to posting a list of search results from Google. Anyone who wants an AI summary can generate their own.

Thanks European Commission. the Ukrainian war didn't cause the rise in prices, the sanctions did.
2) doesn't line up with the US court's current stance that only a human can hold copyright, and thus anything created by a not-human cannot have copyright applied. This applies to animals, inanimate objects, and presumably, AI.

I have no idea how this impacts the encodability of the license from FB which may rely on things other than copyright, but as of right now, the output absolutely cannot be copyrighted.
Emergent properties are interesting, but it is still just electrical conduction in an electrolyte soup. We have no idea what constructs of matter do or do not have consciousness, it's possible all matter has some form of it. It's entirely possible the brain is utterly unspecial in that regard.

Regardless, we're talking about cognitive thinking and decision making, not consciousness. The two are not dependant on each other.
The issue is that agile was once (back in the days of the manifesto) a grass roots effort to make life for developers better, but in many companies it has been perverted and twisted from a framework for collaboration and self-organization to controlling and pressuring development teams in a fortnight cycle. Of course this gives Scrum a bad rep.

> Supreme Court rejects Genius lawsuit claiming Google stole song lyrics
SCOTUS won't overturn ruling that US copyright law preempts Genius' claim.

> The song lyrics website Genius' allegations that Google "stole" its work in violation of a contract will not be heard by the US Supreme Court. The top US court denied Genius' petition for certiorari in an order list issued today, leaving in place lower-court rulings that went in Google's favor.

> Genius previously lost rulings in US District Court for the Eastern District of New York and the US Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. In August 2020, US District Judge Margo Brodie ruled that Genius' claim is preempted by the US Copyright Act. The appeals court upheld the ruling in March 2022.

> "Plaintiff's argument is, in essence, that it has created a derivative work of the original lyrics in applying its own labor and resources to transcribe the lyrics, and thus, retains some ownership over and has rights in the transcriptions distinct from the exclusive rights of the copyright owners... Plaintiff likely makes this argument without explicitly referring to the lyrics transcriptions as derivative works because the case law is clear that only the original copyright owner has exclusive rights to authorize derivative works," Brodie wrote in the August 2020 ruling.

> Google search results routinely display song lyrics via the service LyricFind. Genius alleged that LyricFind copied Genius transcriptions and licensed them to Google.

> Brodie found that Genius' claim must fail even if one accepts the argument that it "added a separate and distinct value to the lyrics by transcribing them such that the lyrics are essentially derivative works." Since Genius "does not allege that it received an assignment of the copyright owners' rights in the lyrics displayed on its website, Plaintiff's claim is preempted by the Copyright Act because, at its core, it is a claim that Defendants created an unauthorized reproduction of Plaintiff's derivative work, which is itself conduct that violates an exclusive right of the copyright owner under federal copyright law," Brodie wrote.

> If they are nor copyrightable, that'll be the end of publicly-released weights by for-profit companies

I don’t see why, for-profit companies release permissively-licensed ooen-source code all the time, and noncopyrightable models aren't practically much different than that.
I don't understand why the headline was changed from that on the article, which I submitted as written. I wouldn't have found the idea of buying a bunker remarkable, as many rich people get that idea. Buying a whole country is unusual.
I also seriously question the concept of massive investment in CO2 dumping/sequestration alone, as it seems more likely that CO2 will be used as a feedstock to generate more complex and useful molecules.

That said, the endpoints of the pipelines could just route to processing plants instead of underground carbon sinks, so the pipeline part could be valid, if appropriately structured.

Is shareholder capitalism a suicide pact?
>Since the turn of the millennium, most American families have been invested in the stock market. Whether they came to be investors passively (by taking a job with a 401k) or actively (by buying Gamestop shares on Robinhood), the consequences for individuals can be profound. People who embrace their identity as an investor think differently, vote differently, and have different material interests from those who do not. “Investor” can even reframe an entire worldview: education becomes an investment in human capital, and is evaluated based on increases in future earnings potential; family and friends turn into investments in social capital, essentially call options on benefits to be harvested in the future. The capital metaphor becomes pervasive, like microplastics in our water and blood.
