I’m wondering if there isn’t a better solution to the “closed as duplicate” issue. If you post a question it might be closed as a “duplicate” even if:

1) your question relates to a newer version of a technology, and previous answers do not address it

2) your question is similar to others but asks a more specific question, especially if it demonstrates having read prior knowledge

3) your question is more well-written than others

I don’t know what the solution is to this problem, but I think SO needs to give it more thought.

Another low hanging fruit is rude comments. I don’t know what the policy is now, but SO needs to tighten it up.
> Even though all participants had previously stated that they would pay money to avoid being shocked with electricity

I'd say I'd pay money to avoid being shocked, and then if left alone in a room with a button that shocks me I would press the button.

I'm taking signals from the experimenter! When you ask that question it suggests it's possibly worth paying to avoid, plus however you word it, it takes the form of "we'll shock you unless you pay", which is kinda threatening even if worded gently. It's still threatening and demeaning even if you ask if you can pay me to shock me.

Leave me alone with the button and it gives me a different signal, and the implied power dynamic is reversed, it's my agency. And to be honest I think if I had previously answered the other question I would now be extra curious what it was I said I'd pay to avoid.
> If you remove artist names from the training data, you lose the ability to describe those styles

Do you?

With base SD1.5, “by greg rutkowski” produces extremely similar results to “detailed realistic muted fantasy”. Except for the case where what you are actually trying to do is directly mimic the work of an artist with a strong unique style that is very heavily represented in the source data (Rutkowski, IIRC, has extremely little representation in the SD training data, leaving aside question of whether the other parts of that description apply), I don’t think you are losing the ability to refer to styles without artist names.
Usually it's not the company that pays. The company just says "turn up with an SSN" and then other people who already work there put the new employee in touch with someone who deals in them. I've heard it cost 200-250$ for one. But that way the company has plausible deniability, and its the worker who is the "identity thief". A lot of the stuff is done on word of mouth, by compatriots just looking to help each other out.
DRM makes it possible for customers to rent products they don't want to own. If that isn't "removing friction" I dunno what is. Tokenization similarly makes it possible to buy stuff and not have to worry about what the merchant will do with your info. All possible because of cryptography hardware. The alternative is subscription platforms, where the payments happen behind the curtain.

Quite. It seems like more often than not, when I answer or ask a question, a moderator comes along who only half understands what I'm talking about and starts harassing me for not making the most perfect, ideal, gold-plated contribution possible.

They tried that. Stack Overflow, when it was much smaller, allowed such questions.

Once they realized that it was going poorly, Jeff and Joel created "Not Programming Related" and had all of those questions asked there instead... and it went poorly.

https://softwareengineering.meta.stackexchange.com/questions...

The thing is that the site is poorly designed to handle opinion based questions and extra work is required by people who do moderation and curation to avoid problems ( https://stackoverflow.blog/2012/01/31/the-trouble-with-popul... ).

In order to support the opinion based questions, a more active curator group is needed than Stack Overflow users seem to be able to support... and the Q&A format that Stack Overflow is designed around is poorly designed to handle these questions.

While I was active there I saw half a dozen attempts to create that site for "primary opinion" that all failed - No one wanted to spend the time to manage it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6062876 is one such example.

Yes, the other type of questions are useful... it's just that Stack Overflow isn't necessarily the best place to ask those questions. It was designed with a very specific type of format in mind and in doing so makes it difficult to handle other types of questions.

The way to have those other questions be admitted is to reduce the individual burden on the people who are maintaining the site or make it easier for people to moderate the site so that less time is needed in order to help people use the site well (this requires improvements of tooling from corporate).

But Stack Overflow... it doesn't need to be able to handle every type of question. It wasn't designed to be able to handle every type of question.

If you believe that the discussions are useful... create the site. Honestly, when you get done with it, it will look a lot like Reddit or Discourse. They are better able to handle questions of that nature. The Q&A format for SO and the comments were designed to make discussions difficult and impractical - which are the exact things those discussion style questions need.

I'll give you Pauling, but Newton studying alchemy in the 17th and 18th centuries would have been far from delusional when you consider "Robert Boyle pioneered the scientific method in chemical investigations"[0] around that time. According to the same Wikipedia article, it was only sometime between 1720-1740 when "alchemy" came to mean "attempts to transmute other materials into gold." Newton died in 1726.

What we need is motivation to learn civics. The culture has largely abandoned them, and in many cases has demonized those that know them. Consider the concerted and successful attacks on state-level organizations that administer voting in the US. Those people, from the Sec State on down are probably the top 1% of those who understand civics, and they are under fire. Why? Because cultural norms tell people to not care about civics, and institutions are so weak that even the "elitist cabal" doesn't seem to care about it, either.

At least, this is the appearance. Perhaps there is a firm bedrock of dedicated, knowledgeable citizens making American democracy work, and the recent attacks are less hard body blows and more jabs that are easily ignored. I hope so.

I should have been more clear: Physical addiction is when sickness, pain or impairment demands that you get your fix or possibly die. Example: "...benzodiazepines can kill you. This type of withdrawal can cause seizures, which increase your risk of life-threatening harm. It can also cause psychosis, which alters your perception of reality."

When an individual, who has chronically misused alcohol, suddenly stops or drastically reduces, they can experience a combination of withdrawal symptoms—both physical and emotional—that can range from mild to severe, and in rare cases, can be life-threatening."

In the same place where the urgency to treat every other chronic illness:

Nowhere.

As a society we're so used to treating efficacy as a virtue that we view most fatigue-related disability as a psychological and moral failure of the person, and its care fully reflects this. This is not unique to long COVID.

It's time to face the fact that healthcare is deeply broken. It's great at reducing symptom burden with meds, and solving physically obvious issues with surgery, but completely incurious and helpless to remedy the causes of chronic illness, often even when science identifying them has existed for decades (such as sleep disordered breathing(apnea and UARS), at their root caused by underdeveloped jaws).

I know many chronically ill people. The standard is for them to spend years, even decades being treated dismissively and sent to the psychologists for "depression" before they even receive a diagnosis, and then for nothing, or too little, to be done to treat it.

The only reason Vogtle was built was because of the fixed price contract Westinghouse signed. Just as in the first nuclear buildout in the 1960s, fixed price contracts revealed themselves to be ruinous for the NPP builder.

No utility going forward is going to sign a contract that puts them on the hook for cost escalation (which turned out to be this contract too, once Westinghouse went bankrupt.)

> Every byte (octet) other than 0x00 is valid in a path.

I'd counter that there are a couple of differing levels of validity:

1. Printable ASCII alphanumerics, period, hyphen, underscore. Guaranteed to be portable anywhere and completely safe.

2. Safe ASCII punctuation (space, ~, $, etc). Usable on virtually all systems, likely to cause weird behavior in poorly written shell scripts.

3. Unsafe ASCII punctuation (< > : " \ | ? *). Disallowed on Windows, also likely to cause weird behavior when allowed.

4. Invalid UTF-8 sequences. Disallowed on macOS, not representable at all on Windows (which uses UTF-16 for filenames!), and will cause havoc in some programming languages like Python which assume that the filesystem is Unicode.

5. ASCII control characters (0x01 - 0x1e). Also disallowed on Windows, and you'd have to be nuts to use them even if they are supported.

You can probably still do that in lots of places in the residential single family rapid copy-paste development space (there's a reason why so many of those new homes are terrible quality these days) but unless you have trade qualifications, you're probably going to start with basic and grueling 'unskilled' general laborer work.

Large or more technical construction projects (industrial, public infrastructure, roadways, government projects, warehouses, commercial, bespoke luxury homes, dense multi unit housing, office buildings, skyscrapers, sports arenas, etc) are a completely different ballgame - consider it the difference between college (or even high school) football and the NFL. Safety and liability are taken much more seriously because the stakes are higher, the scale larger. It is correct that you generally cannot even enter such a construction site without an offsite (although usually adjacent) training operated by the general contractor, (who manages site liability) in like an office trailer.

You can still walk into that office trailer (after knocking or ringing a doorbell, usually) and ask the general contractor if they know anyone hiring for role X or Y, etc. This is somewhat okay because during construction phase of a project, GCs usually operate on an interrupt-based process of various and numerous onsite folks walking into their trailer needing this or that. But odds are pretty good they'll quickly tell you to get lost if you're not showing them some sort of valued trade qualifications or know them personally in some way. If you have those qualifications, usually your phone is already ringing off the hook (see above article) and you don't have to walk into random construction sites, hence why so many of the people that do have no qualifications.

Another way to get your foot in the door is to go to a temporary staffing agency like PeopleReady and tell them you want such a construction site job. It will be grueling 'unskilled' general labor. Then you can get the training to get on the site, and possibly make a connection for future work. (Does not happen successfully often, except for the most exceptional and lucky temp workers)

The 300 years comes from the length of time the waste remains self-protecting against amateur diversion of plutonium. After that time, the fission products have decayed so much that the gamma rays are, conservatively, too weak to inhibit such diversion.

It's not that waste canisters can't last more than 300 years, it's that something has to be done with the waste by that time so there's no point requiring they be certified to last longer than that.

> You (the general you, an amalgam of the AI art defenders I’ve seen) claim the right to create these unauthorized derivative works via an automated process with zero reliance on novel human authorship

If they are created “via an automated process with zero reliance on novel human authorship” they, ipso facto, are not “derivative works”, which are original creations of human authorship subject to separate copyright (which, nonetheless, require permission from the copyright holder of the original work to legally create unless an exception to copyright protection, like fair use, applies.)

What you probably want to argue is that they are unauthorized mechanical copies, not unauthorized derivative works.

Of course, if they are unauthorized mechanical copies, it is probably usually a partial copy of the training set, which if it has a copyright it is a compilation copyright owned by whoever assembled the training set, not of any particular work within the training set. Now, whether the training set is an unauthorized derivative work when compiled is another question.
