It just so happens I'm in the middle of scraping numeric data out of a proprietary application using dictation. It took a bit of experimentation to get good results, but it's faster than any other scraping method I could find for this specific use case. I'm using the dictation tool in the Drafts app, and used ChatGPT to write a Drafts Action script to clean up and format the data after dictation.
I agree (I'm from Ireland, and we're generally fairly pro-EU). Being an island though, the reality it doesn't make a huge difference to us day-to-day.

The way I'd imagine the UK retaining it's opt-out here, is that it's something that the EU could compromise on without really losing much (and importantly without losing face, as the Irish border and preservation of the GFA is a reasonable excuse to find reason to compromise) and that the UK negotiators could then present as a "win" back home, making the other conditions that the UK now has to accept (for example the euro) easier to sell the general populace on.

Obviously though, I'd much prefer if both the UK and Ireland joined Schengen together.
Heh, actually yes; the universe trying to tell me something, maybe?

Not really, proxying also provides user privacy, and enables DDoS protection (this is especially an issue in the video game world).
Of course not, Monero is as decentralized as they come.

And with it's ASIC resistant POW it's arguably more decentralized than Bitcoin (and almost all other) POW based cryptocurrencies.
True, especially regarding how easily their services can be replicated. Their margins are low, and customer acquisition does not provide them with network effects that would yield a moat.

> Sometimes, but not always.

Sure—they often have such a poor understanding of art and the artist that they may not know that's what they're looking for, but that doesn't change the fact that it is, indeed, what they are looking for.

> And which copyright law says he doesn't have. Style isn't copyrightable.

The part of my comment you quoted says nothing about copyright law, so I'm not sure what you're trying to contradict here. An artist's personal style is a central pillar of their intellectual property in the sense that it takes massive personal investment to develop and everything they create flows from it, and it is a central pillar of their competitive advantage in the sense that it's aesthetically unique, positively stimulating to the viewer, and links their identity to their entire body of work in a way that can be exploited in the marketplace.

The fact is that copyright law currently has no idea what to make of these AI tools. I think the only concrete opinion so far adopted by the US copyright office (which may in the future be superseded by legal precedent or law) is that products of AI alone are not products of human authorship and thus cannot themselves be copyrighted. It will take time for arguments to be made, for money to change hands, and finally for more broadly useful law to be settled, which is why I previously alluded to a period of ten years to let things shake out.

If copyright law does step up to protect artists from this novel attack on their intellectual property, I doubt that protection will come in the form of allowing styles to be broadly copyrightable. From the contemporary commercial perspective, most of the value proposition of these tools is the ability to automatically and at scale launder the intellectual property of artists into derivative works that ostensibly do not infringe on the original works; given that, it is very much in the spirit of existing intellectual property law to write new law to protect artists.

Only time will tell whether the inevitable evolution of intellectual property law to account for AI tools favors individual artists or large tech corporations.
While what you're saying is true, I get the feeling that you want to say that this is in contrast to LaTeX3, which isn't "plain old LaTeX 2e". Except... that it is. The project to have a new engine has been scrapped a long time ago. LaTeX3 is just another layer above LaTeX 2e. With all its cruft.
I use pypy as a drop-in replacement for CPython for some small data crunching scripts of my hobby projects. Might not count as "real work", but getting "free" speed ups is very nice and I'm very grateful for the PyPy project for providing a performant alternative to CPython.

I was close to trying pypy on a production django deployment (which gets ~100k views a month), but given that the tiny AWS EC2 instance we're running it on is memory bound, the increased pypy memory usage made it impractical to do so.

I think it's natural for new tools to be Propietary, while Free alternatives of the basics work their way up the chain:

Most of the cost of software development isn't in writing software — it's in the exploration of the solution space. Once you have settled on a good design, re-implementation is vastly cheaper and more streamlined than the original fumbling around in the dark. And sometimes it's better because you can jettison the legacy that comes from all that exploration.

So IBM employed Ted Codd and an army of engineers and salespeople, but now we all get to use Postgres.

What is being built today commercially that will be distilled into architectural principles and re-implemented as Free in the future? It's hard to know, but in hindsight it may seem obvious.

The article points out categories that were once proprietary — OSes, compilers, runtimes, clients, data stores. For example: DB2, System V, PCC, Internet Explorer. They were built at great cost — and remember they all had proprietary siblings that have since been abandoned, that also had to be paid for: OS/2, Itanium, Hypercard, DBase, various compilers, IDEs.

And then the few survivors were copied by open equivalents. System V gave way to Linux, DB2 to Postgres, IE to Chrome. A few never had proprietary equivalents AFAIK — I don't think there is a closed ancestor of Redis.

And sometimes the Free version hasn't fully arrived yet (x86), or it's just free (Google Docs), or it's doomed to remain not nearly as good as the proprietary tools (GIMP, desktop Linux). Or it's rocky (Linux vs SCO) or chaotic (BitKeeper to git).

(And it's no surprise that tools used mainly by programmers are more likely to have high quality Free equivalents than tools with a wider audience — after all, their users are capable of improving them directly.)
Exactly. I recently retired my Pebble, after the battery life was reduced to 1-2 days. I wish there were more watches out there like this. I found the Garmins to be much dimmer, and the Fossil to be poorly laid out for displaying much text (and the UI/UX was awful). I would pay AWU prices for a next-generation Pebble Time Steel, even if only added HR and a few other updates.
My dad knew a mail carrier. Tall, lanky, energetic, and a bit of an odd duck. When he started a new route, he'd go through it quickly, finishing early. An early finish meant they'd add more to the route. He'd take that as a challenge, working even harder to get through it early. They'd extend the route again, creating another challenge.

This would repeat until he was nearly running to get the route done in time. At this point things got boring, so he'd use his seniority to switch to a new route. That mean some poor low-seniority sucker would get assigned his very demanding route and struggle desperately with it, finishing very late.

My point being that some people like being heroes, at least for a while. It seems to me kinda like the way I like running races: fun as an occasional challenge partly because doing something unsustainable causes me to push myself.

Nothing is ever truly unrecoverable. If a device was built, it can be built again.

What is bricked vs recoverable has always greatly depended on time and effort, individual skill level, available hardware/software tools, documentation, crypto keys, physical access, willingness to replace individual parts etc.

Sometimes, even within an org, some teams e-waste expensive devices that aren't bricked deeper than what other teams recover from as part of everyday workflow.

Taking a typical network device as an example, where do you draw the line? Driving to a remote location to plug the cable into another port, pressing a reset button, booting from USB, flashing a new firmware with TFTP, plugging in an external or internal console cable, opening the case and soldering a header to get access to the console, doing the same with no documentation, or an unknown (but maybe Google-able or reverse engineerable) password, flashing firmware with JTAG, shipping the device back to the engineers (or shipping an engineer to the device)...? It's always been arbitrary.
I dont think so but compliance seems to be getting hot. Ryan Hoover listed "comply or die" as a hot space in his thesis recently.
Richard Heart is a force for good.

Bricking oftentimes can be reversed using JTAG connectors. IMO - bricking describes thr state that a device is not operable, not irrecoverably so - just that its difficult to reverse.

Also, it's not a technical term with a rigid definition, hence "soft-bricking"
That's just moving goal posts. Now you have to define what's a data center.

I asked this question in a discord for this kind of stuff and the answer I got was "not possible." I also spoke with the developer of OrbStack, and they suggested just not being open source and charging for it, which is what they're going to do. When it comes to dev tools (particularly those that are involved in operations/sre flows like pgmigrate) I consider open source a huge benefit, and I'm sad to think that there is no way to get paid for an open source project without shoehorning in a bad experience or unnecessary features (like Baldur points out)

Very nice!

I think it's great to be able to talk about any topic, hopefully something interesting, while you also learn a language.

What I really want from this is more study tools available inline in the conversation. Getting a translation of the whole response is cool, but often I just want to know one word or a phrase. Or in turn I want to say something and I am missing one word of vocabulary to say it.

I got along using Siri, which worked a little but it's not great. I've used Google Translate in another tab in other similar experiments. I think it's actually good that there's some friction... learning should be a bit of a struggle, you should be pushing yourself. But not too much, and the right kind of struggle! Figuring that out is really where this product could shine.

For instance, when I type a response it might be nice to see a critique. It could be little things (lots of forgotten accents), or other comments. Using GPT you can probably get much more sophisticated feedback, like suggestions that a particular word might be a literal translation of the intended meaning, but isn't the right word to use in that context. Some of this help is just right, for other people it's not meeting them where they are, so I can imagine some might be indicators that feedback is available (without showing it), or... well, lots of ways to present things.

One way to create useful friction might also be to make the tools helpful but not automated. Want to look up a word? You can type it in English and it'll show you the translated word... but you have to type it in. Maybe even word lookup could work that way? The obvious lookup is to click or hover over a word, but maybe you should have to type the word you are looking up (or eventually say the word). But the translation should still take the context into account!
You can have views about art. Climate change, whichever side you come from, is science. You can support one theory over another, but to do so you need to have done some research. A view about science is as hand wavy as having a theory about art. It serves no purpose.

more BTU: BTU on a gas stove is ridiculous — they are so lossy that the flame pattern is a bigger deal.

better simmer control: even a lot of expensive gas stoves have fairly bad simmer

repairability: I regrettably own a fancy Thermador stove that is hard to repair — extracting the crappy ignition units requires a special tool that has been discontinued.

If you want excellent temperature control, get a Breville Control Freak. It outperforms everything else (generally by far), it’s offensively expensive at $1500, and it’s also cheap at $1500 if you think of it as the best stove that just happens to have only one burner.

You’ll also discover that 1800W (~6100 BTU/hr) is about right for most purposes with pans up to 12-14" at near 100% efficiency. You do not want 15000 BTU/hr delivered to your pan for any purpose other than boiling water or maybe reducing a big stock if you are stirring actively.
We do not always need electricity as an output. Even then, you can combine SOFCs with gas turbines and still get an electrical output. Efficiency is still very high.

The equipment is mostly made out of steel or other cheap materials. You read about using fiberglass or HDPE for a lot of the components. Those aren’t expensive materials. Certainly, way cheaper than what batteries use. Transportation is via pipelines which is 10x cheaper than wires. The costs of infrastructure should be very cheap.

> Further solar panels and wind turbines got cheaper due to learning effects. These effects are not present for over half of the things involved in a hydrogen fuel system. Pumps and tanks and valves and pipes are already mass produced.

Solar panels and wind turbines are over a century old. Hell, wind power existed for millenia in form or another. But as it turns out, it still benefits from the learning effect. So you’re just spouting more of your anti-progress agenda here.

Yes, but no. Insulation helps maintain a temperature difference. Assuming the kitchen is not perfectly isolated itself, and probably even has at least some ventilation, if not airco, it will help keep the oven warm and the rest of the kitchen cool, even if it's being used 24x7.

While LaTeX's future replacement could certainly learn a lot from modern languages like Markdown, I hope that the creators will use as much rigor in designing the typesetting system as Knuth did. Part of LaTeX's success was the absolutely beautiful documents it can make with nothing but a personal computer. For example, to compute line breaks, it solves an optimization problem over the whole page.

No, please don't generalize like that. It is not clear which "original poster" you mean, but all of the ones in this chain seem to be arguing that there is waste, but that there is no evidence that the government is not inherently more wasteful in its spending than other large organizations.

It is a common refrain in parts of the Republican Party that government spending is inherently wasteful, and we should make government more like companies, or alternately "small enough to drown in a bathtub". And this is the myth that is being addressed.
