Gosh, I was so excited to read something current about my favorite build tool suite [0] after all these years.
Alas, it was not to be.

Do people have the right to stipulate they don't want their original creative works ingested by an algorithm and then regurgitated out on a prompt thereby benefitting the corporation who owns the algorithm and not the original artist?

I think they do. And whether or not this particular case is won by Silverman is ultimately irrelevant. Society will have its day in court, and eventually this madness of so-called "AI" stealing our labor will be stopped one way or another.
To make this simpler I made Regittable[0] for personal use. As only an occasional RM2 user (a weekend a month), I activate the python script on my desktop, pack my RM2 and go to a cafe, and when I'm back my files are all in Dropbox or in the project git repo, depending on if they're new or old respectively. I had plans to add more features to Regittable (like have it submit PRs instead of committing as you) but never needed them myself so didn't bother.
It amuses me that a thread or two above we've got complaints that 'strip-mining' and 'extraction' are forced metaphors, taking it too far, and here we are - afaict pretty seriously - talking about software as AK47s & F-35s.
There's also iodine, a C program that tunnels IPv4 packets over DNS. Useful for bypassing captive portals on wifi, since DNS usually isn't restricted.

Regarding cloudflare DNS over HTTPS: It could be that it tries to server data encoded as JSON, which is impossible in JSON. Some control characters and bytes 128-255 cannot be represented as JSON strings.
The article definitely makes it sound like they had “boots on the ground”. There’s a picture of muddy boots and the caption says they are covered in ancient mud.
Well, then you couldn't have a play button, or pause button, or video text over the top of the video; unless there was some way of turning the GPU into a hardware-level compositor... which is generally not recognized as a good idea.

That's not how this works. Why do you think it can?
Yeah, one might almost think that Elon Musk is an impulsive man with little focus whose course of action changes on the drop of a hat.

Almost.

Anyway, it's not "supposedly", I thought there was some pretty convincing that the man wants an "X" product already. He literally used x.com commercially in the past, before paypal. One of the main models of Tesla cars is X. His most-successful business literally has the letter X at the end of the name.

The man's obsessed with the letter X, which is sad, because it's my favorite letter, too, and I don't wanna share it with him.
I'm pretty sure this doesn't address the key point, that OpenAI and others apparently used a giant dump of pirated epubs as one of their training sources.

How Amazon Runs Meetings [YouTube]
What does this have to do with Apple's "walled garden"?

They are able to charge 30% of app revenue because they can. They are a for profit company.

Amazon Fire did not do that because nobody uses it. Now that it has some traction, lo and behold, they want their cut as well.

If anything, Roku is the direct competitor (low cost streaming stick) and they take 30% ad revenue. But Apple gets the blame. lol.
The thing I'd point out is that if you're taking 30% of revenue from 4 streaming services, you're getting more revenue than if you operated a streaming service. I agree that these boxes/sticks need some recurring revenue (120% of the revenue of the streaming services). However, should they receive more revenue than the services themselves?

If they're taking 30% from Netflix, 30% from Max, 30% from Disney, and 30% from Paramount, they're getting over $16/mo. Should it be $16/mo per user?

The problem isn't that they need revenue. It's that the revenue demands seem very high compared to the costs of maintaining those boxes. They aren't looking for $10/year to cover their costs and make some profit. They're looking to get more revenue than those actually creating the content.
Every time I hear the BBC Sounds jingle - "Music, radio, podcasts" - I think of the show W1A where they referred to the the "Department for Culture, Media and Sport" as the "Department for Culture, Media and For Some Reason Sport".

"Music, radio, and for some reason podcasts" is much more fitting.
Wolfram Alpha just told me that it's 800,000 laps around Earth's equator away. You can probably compare that to a very long airplane ride (about a 45 hour flight) done nearly a million times.

If that's not enough for human scale understanding, it's gone the same distance Earth goes in its orbit in 34 years.
What kind of warning (and up) messages do want to keep in your journal - but ignore in your alerts? Ie why adjust your grep patterns - not what you log - to increase signal to noise ratio?
One word: Authentication. SQLite doesn't have the same kinds of database-level authentication out of the box that PostgreSQL, SQL Server etc do, and this is a big deal for compliance nuts (which is where a lot of the reliable money is in SaaS these days).

You can custom compile it in, to be fair. https://www.sqlite.org/src/doc/trunk/ext/userauth/user-auth....
Good points, although you don't have to go shopping every day in any case. Tomatoes last a few weeks, onions and garlic a month or two. Carrots and cabbage are rare enough that I only buy them for specific meals.

I live in a city flat where there is no risk of ants or cockroaches, and even fruit flies are only around in the summer months. So I guess I just don't have the same problems as others.
Man, that Large Marge scene scared the bejesus out of me as a kid.

It's also an amazing book. In addition to being an incredible magician and entertainer, Ricky Jay was also a wealth of knowledge on the history of magic and all things related. The referenced "Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women" is just scratching the surface of the subject.
Pee-wee Herman creator Paul Reubens dies at 70
Yet another chapter of the dementia surrounding the current copyright laws. We don't tax streets, we don't tax public spaces (mostly), but still western societies keep pushing forward the idea that carrying devices in our pockets capable of bearing almost all the available human knowledge (that can be almost instantly cloned), and still selling individual files is a logical concept.
I disagree. It's really weird that "I" and "i" are somehow the same character (but the former is used at the start of a sentence or when it's the entire word only), or that "מ" (U+05DE) and "ם" (U+05DD) are the same character but the latter is only used at the end of a word. They're visibly distinct! Only a minority of languages have multiple cases, most scripts are unicameral (having only one case).
Costco is so consistent that when you walk the route through the stores you will meet the same categories of products in the same order.

For example: TVs are by the entrance, the over the counter pharmacy stuff is near the registers. The soy milk is about halfway around the loop, the breakfast cereal is about 3/4 way around.

I have personaly been to more stores where the loop runs clockwise than counterclockwise but I'm not sure that's actually a bias or just random.
Unlikely. The BBC would be very daft to run an open-signup server. And a closed-signup server would only have the problems that BBC employees themselves bring.

As I follow these new accounts, I’m reminded of just how _hard_ it is to follow people on other servers on Mastodon.

Click follow -> dialog full of text, which gives the most common instructions (to copy and paste into the search field on your server) in smaller text at the end -> go to my server -> there’s no search field, or anything that says ‘search’ -> [I know that this is because my window is too narrow] -> expand the window -> paste into the revealed search field -> click ‘follow’ on the result -> Phew!

Now I have to do this again for the other accounts…

I’m absolutely sure people become lost and give up at every step here.

and not just new media either. They also sold about a million BBC Micros. In the early 80s most British schools had one. The British public system has produced a lot of pretty cool tech.

Might be interested in PouchDB/CouchDB which can be offline and resync relatively easily. Slightly different approach than other SQL based RDBMS though.

In the end, it gets complicated to support offline web-apps and really depends on your usage. I had to work on a water dispensing system over a decade ago that needed to be able to work "offline" at a given site... I used firebird embedded locally, and a remotely available server for syncing against. All accounts and balances were synced to each site, so that they could operate in offline for dispensing water to carrier trucks. There were rules on offline term (up to a week) and balance carry to reduce the risk of a negative balance. In the end it worked well, but it wasn't at all simple.

Active/Inactive and syncing transactions was at least interesting, and that was for a relatively simple data model. More complex models would be, of course, more complicated... and almost exponentially so.

I don't know enough about the US market to speak too strongly here, but I'd have to imagine based on my experience elsewhere that if you wanted to buy a flat from a property developer right now you could.

I would have thought that "build to let" would be the rarer case, but like I said I might be blind to the idiosyncrasies of the US here
> They have 30GW of renewables in the AEMO connection pipeline at the moment, ~7GW greater than entire continent coal generation (which will add to current renewables capacity) [1] [2]. Batteries are scaling up to consume grid services revenue and drive out thermal generation [3].

Yet they are still digging coal out of the ground - for export. Australia exported USD 75 billion worth of coal in 2022.
This article is simplistic and wrong. It's not enough to simply transform the copyright material, it's not a panacea. The existing copyright code provides a fair use doctrine that is sufficient for this novel use, and you really only need to change the law if you want to take away copyright protections.

From my previous comment:

Given the potential economic impact on the original artist, the mechanical nature of the transformation and the fact that extracting the style of an artist's work could be deemed substantive, fair use is not in the least bit a slam dunk.

One could argue that use of this sort of AI robs the original artist of the fruits of their labour, neutering copyright protections, and produces works that substitute for the originals, without adding any creative input other than commanding the output from a machine. Given the intent of copyright law, judges would likely be receptive to this argument.

These guys[1] hacked a NASA space probe and refired its motors. I read the entire blog once but I can't remember if there was any sort of encryption on the communication, although I know that was brought up. Modern probes do use cryptography, but I doubt Voyager does. I suspect if you fired commands at it you could control it. For the lulz or whatever.

To be fair, it's not the streaming services fault, because Linux (er, Wayland and Xorg) does not support HDR. We're only just starting, on the bleeding edge, to have HDR with proper color management on Linux.

> In Scandinavia the Kiruna to Narvik electrified railway [...] The regenerated energy is sufficient to power the empty trains back up to the national border

Is re-planning routes for regenerative braking solvable with the Modified Snow Plow Problem (variation on TSP Traveling Salesman Problem), on a QC Quantum Computer; with Quantum Algorithmic advantage due to the complexity of the problem?

From "Snow plow routing problem": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_plow_routing_problem :

> The snow plow routing problem is an application of the structure of Arc Routing Problems (ARPs) and Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs) to snow removal that considers roads as edges of a graph.

> The problem is a simple routing problem when the arrival times are not specified.[1] Snow plow problems consider constraints such as the cost of plowing downhill compared to plowing uphill.[2] The Mixed Chinese Postman Problem is applicable to snow routes where directed edges represent one-way streets and undirected edges represent two-way streets. [3]

In cases where it is not feasible to run the Held–Karp algorithm because of its high computational complexity, algorithms like this can be used to approximate the solution in a reasonable amount of time.[10]

I think a big thing that's overlooked is the difference between psychological and physiological dependency, as well as the stigma or popular idea of addiction. Weed doesn't feel addictive in the classic sense, especially in comparison to things that are much more addictive, like nicotine and alcohol.

I used to live basically next door to a dispensary, and would smoke multiple times a day. If I didn't smoke, I'd sometimes find it hard to get to sleep the first night or so, but it wasn't as bad as going without a cigarette, missing adderall, or what I've seen people go through on opiates.

Given that many recreational users are into other stuff, too (especially before legal dispensaries that looked like Apple stores came along), along with the pro-cannabis propaganda, it's easy to see how people don't take it seriously.
Again, this is a misunderstanding of what LLMs are capable of. These aren't chained, you can run parallel prompts of 15 personas with X diversity of perspective, that reason on a singular request, string, input or variable, they provide output plus audit explanation. You then run an amalgamation or committee decision (sort of like mixture of experts) on it to output variable or string. Then run parallel simulation or reflection prompts based on X different context personas to double check their application to outside cases, unconsidered context, etc.

It's pretty effective on complex problems like Spam, Trust and Safety, etc. And the applications of these sort of reasoning atomic configurations I think are unlimited. It's not just 'talking fancy' to an AI, its building processes that systematically improve reasoning to different very hard applied problems.
Use "blackbox" to avoid any responsibility. This is how c-level executives have layers and layers of people to do the dirty work to not get prosecuted. Now replace 'layers of people' with software/ai/machine learning, etc. This is how financial institutions are debanking people in the name of de-risking (read how politicians and small businesses are being debanked in UK--maybe, banks should debank techocrats) This is how the West will delegate their authoritarian ways to third parties (private entities: banks, utilities, fintech, search providers, mail providers, ring central), while at the same time blaming the third world dictatorships for not upholding western-values such as freedom, democracy, etc.

This is basically my position on it.

At home my parents were always very careful what content I was exposed to. With very few exceptions I wasn't allowed to watch / play films and video games that were 12+ until I was in secondary school.

But outside my home (especially coming from a crappy neighbourhood) I was exposed to a lot of explicit content from other children (and their parents).

Obviously the internet exacerbates this problem, but short of outlawing the entire internet there's very little that can actually be done about that. Even with all of the proposed restrictions kids will still be able to access explicit content if their parents allow them to do so.

So if what we really want is to empower parents then there are better ways to do this at home via ISPs and routers with configurable content filters.

And if we want proof for this then we should remember that this isn't an issue that exists at school because they have the internet locked down. The idea that the only way to we empower parents is by handing control to the government and corporations makes no sense. The issue is that parents either don't care to or don't know how to restrict content. If it's the former, this isn't a problem (assuming you believe rights of the parent trump that of the state), if it's latter, then let's just create regulation for ISPs to ensure they're providing sufficiently easy and capable content filters.

Requiring all content providers operating in the UK break encryption and implement their own content filters is beyond absurd. It really only makes sense if you assume the state is doing this intentionally as a power grab.

The last time I used Postgres (admittedly, installed by a colleague who was in charge of that project, so I'm not sure if she changed some option) I got one column per horizontal line ...

Actually reading up on this, it looks like "\x on" was specified, possibly a default changed somewhere? I live in a world of 4K monitors, so I can pull a terminal very wide and see a lot of data at a glance, and this format didn't really mesh well with that.

It's not a deal-breaker - mostly I connect via an API anyway, it's usually just debugging where I'm doing manual queries, but it's just one more niggle, and it might be something (in this case) to do with the database defaults.
Take the job and hope to make changes from the inside? Maybe learn enough about the company to become a whistleblower? Avoid the dilemma or try to make a difference? Tough choice.
It was over 4000ppm during the Cambrian period 500m years ago, then down to about where it is today in the Carboniferious period, during the 60 million year period where trees evolved to make wood, but nothing had evolved to eat it yet, so dead trees literally just piled up for 60 million years. Then during the Mezozoic it went up into the 2000s again, lots of dino farts or something? Then back under 1000 again and dropping until the last 100 years or so.
