I'm ok with charging subscription fees for services with ongoing costs (things like cell connectivity for remote monitoring or something), and I'm ok with charging one time fees for unlocking features that are already there, since it allows for price discrimination, cheaper and more efficient manufacturing, and better prices to the customer overall (potentially at least). But the flip side of that is that...if you put it on the car that the customer bought, and they figure out how to unlock it.....well good for them and sucks for you. This kind of thing _should_ 100% be legal (if it isn't already, and my understanding is that it is). If you want to _100% guarantee_ that they don't get a feature without paying for it, then I guess pony up for the more complicated manufacturing process where it isn't installed on some models.

As for "they didn't pay for the license"....no....you gave it to them without asking them to sign a license agreement. They paid you money, and you gave them a product. How they use it is up to them.
>then I'd go further and say the government should buy up the shares and take advantage of any dividends to (effectively) be a non-tax based revenue source.

If you haven't played with recent video tools, you might think this is a "someday in the future concern." But the current off-the-shelf tools for transforming one actor into another are mind-blowing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIJXOU83fqE&t=0s

And that's just what's available off-the-shelf, not what specialized studios are doing with huge budgets. The Marvel movies are already close to being "animated movies in a live-action style". Even basic helicopter shots flying over real-life locations like the coast of California are totally CGI because it's easier to animate than get a permit. Actors entire bodies will be replaced on a whim because they didn't like the costume choice. Putting a new face on someone is not that big of a deal.
Yep, there would be issue at all if they sold the car and you install FSD with a download and a license key but if it comes with the car that's on you if/when the owner breaks the lock they own to access it.

If you sell me a house with a safe in it and want to charge

Parent was suggesting a hash table lookup though, in which case the topology of the graph would be irrelevant. The number of entries in the table would be constant regardless of whether the original graph was connected with the fewest number of edges or with the greatest number of edges (a complete graph, which is what the table would be encoding).

>We are quickly approaching the point where a team of 3 can procedurally generate crowds in minutes

Have you checked the VFX in recent movies? Most look worse than 20 years ago precisely because clueless directors have been tricked to believe that one guy with a computer can do the work of 100 VFX artists used to do by hand in the past, so VFX get rushed and end up looking like dogshit.

Yes, modern tech can get you 80% there of what used to be long painful manual labor, but you're still in uncanny valley so you still need the careful eye of experienced artists to do the rest to make it actually believable.
There's a mental model that many people have which is rooted in negativism.

I believe it's a form of intellectual laziness who's roots lie in self-consciousness. Meaning, that some people project internal feelings of inadequacy onto the external world.

And I understand the temptation there - if I'm not competing well at a game, the immediate tendency is to blame the game (I stink at golf -> golf is stupid).

One of the reasons doom porn is so popular because it's the ultimate "out": I don't need to focus on myself and self-improvement, which is hard, when we're all going to die anyway.

Lack of sustainability is contingent on increased encroachment of land and emissions, and that is contingent on growing demand overtaking gains in technological efficiency. The demand is growing as a matter of policy: immigration to prop up the GDP. Growing demand for just about anything will increase emissions, pollution and land encroachment - some just exacerbate things faster than others. That does not mean all other products are "sustainable".

The only "sustainability" is where demand does not outstrip the effects of innovation. No one is moving to North America to eschew animal products, vehicles, detached homes, gadgets and other conveniences. Living as we do is what makes it a better life. It's certainly not for the healthcare. Notwithstanding, the bulk of the global increase in demand is coming from East Asia as they lift themselves out of poverty.

In the short-run, marginal changes in consumer habits can have some effect (which matters if there is a sense of urgency for staving off carbon emissions), but in the long run it's a moot point. Seaweed infused feed makes methane a solved problem, and land-use for cattle has been decreasing in the U.S. (it's increased in South America, which exports to China).

This is why govts are rolling out "greener home" grants and the like, there's low-hanging fruit to help lower emissions quickly in effort to meet whatever target they currently have. They could also disincentivize purchasing SUVs, which should not matter that much to manufacturers as they sell the alternatives anyway. More than one way to lower a carbon footprint, some of which are more palatable to consumers. Broadly speaking they are unwilling and unlikely to switch to veganism.

The phrase already has the opposite meaning. It's used primarily in political contexts, where someone admits to an unsavory position for which there has been a less unpleasant alternative reason. For example, citing a racist reason for a policy, when the tacit agreement among proponents was to not say that "out loud".

It is good policy to be explicit when you should be explicit. But as a political strategy there is a reason not to say the quiet part out loud, at least not yet.

It is interesting because I see a file `currency.units` in the source distribution. It has the list of all countries' currencies normalized to USD. If Units doesn't deal with currency, why does it maintain this conversion file? And, I agree that the exchange rate varies day to day. But, this may provide an estimate conversion.
Again, the cartel(s) existed (and they've long been accused of price fixing of various kinds; BigAg price fixing fines are not new; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysine_price-fixing_conspiracy as an example).

So contract law and copyright aren't a thing because people don't want it to be? You own the hardware (you can shuck the car, part it out, mod it), you don't own the code it runs. By all means, root the car and take the features you want, but don't be shocked when Tesla either a) nukes the features remotely or b) sues you. You are taking issue with an existing legal and contract law framework. No one is forcing you to buy a Tesla and be bound by agreements with them around their IP. Would you support a software company nuking someone's license to operate their software remotely if the customer defeated a license module they didn't pay for?

How many of those are due to companies trying to do weird things with DNS, though?

DNS itself is quite well-designed for its age. It is decentralized, so there is no single-point-of-failure. A request can fit in a single UDP package, so load balancing is trivial. A response can contain multiple records, making it possible to use it for load balancing or failover. The format is designed to be extensible, so it can be used for more than just the original few applications. It is definitely showing its age when it comes to privacy and security, though.

Can a failure of an authoritative DNS server bring down a website? Absolutely! Set a short TTL and bring down the servers due to fatfingering a config, and your website will go offline. But you can hardly blame DNS itself for that.
Let's start calling them what they are:

Freedom fighters.

"Hacking" carries quite a lot of negative connotations in most realms. These are people making sure you are able to make full use of your own stuff. There shouldn't be anything contentious about that.
This is going to sound insulting and it is not meant to be insulting.

Your comment shows a fundamental misunderstanding of anarchism and Rand. Her philosophy is particularly odious to people on the left and is especially incompatible with anarchist political philosophy. The idea that there are special super intelligent humans who should be placed at the top of society's hierarchy and be given free range to make any and all decisions for those lower on the hierarchy is outright rejected as baseline anarchist political thought.

Does Denmark not have working immigrants who pay taxes?
I kind of thought you'd say that and I disagree. It's not that hard to live an independent life, at least in the US. Unskilled labor is in high demand and it is easy to be stuck in a pessimistic mindset as an excuse for not doing anything.

Of course you're not going to transition from living at home without a job to being a successful homeowner immediately. However, your chances are basically zero if you stay at home and do nothing.
I'm somewhat torn too.

IBM and I'm sure others have shipped enterprise hardware for years that was partially locked. You might get a machine with 16 cpus but you only paid for 8, for example, but you could license the rest as you grew. It seems a little similar and it was in no way underhanded, everyone knew what the deal was.

However I'll echo what another poster said. I say Tesla should be free to sell whatever they want, but if the end user finds a way around it too bad.
Even if it was all metric, in embedded systems you often have to deal with the same measurements in different units, like angles in radians, degrees, centidegrees, length in mm, m, cm, due to various reasons (mostly historical, like integer math being faster than floating point math).

It is getting less frequent in modern code bases that target 32-bit MCUs with hardware-floating point support, but converting large codebases
A Mechanical Turk can also pass the Turing test. As a black box, it is indistinguishable from an LLM, and yet that would not be evidence of AGI.

Ah the old nerds pretending UI just doesn't matter.
On average the labor market can be tight while other areas can have a surplus of talent.

Sometimes this requires a reframing of what one’s talents are when applying for jobs outside what one might consider a normal window.

Also, I might recommend getting a recruiter to work for you to throw more mud on the wall so to speak.
Cue the "You wouldn't download a car" memes.
Yes RO2040 is very good in that regard. It is often hard to gauge from processor clock how fast it will toggle its pins. Example PI4 - I do not think I was able to get more than 5MHz from its GPIOs and this is 4x GHz class processor.
This doesn't mean that DNS is a bad example for a distributed system. But I appreciate the anecdote of DNS being a common spof.
Some of the "puritanical beliefs" that put me off of Musk and his companies are also not that extreme, like:

"It's bad to make statements about "return to office" critical of your employees while they are calling you out for poor working conditions."

"It's bad to make anti-labor statements in general while your companies are being held up as a model of shoddy workmanship and poor safety practices."

"It's bad to repeatedly make statements affirming your belief in American rights of citizenship like free speech and then take action that directly limits the speech of anyone you disagree with using your wealth."

While not entirely bipartisan or free of judgement, I think are pretty reasonable.
I know you're probably joking, but harder to remember numbers was always going to happen when you expand the address space from 4.3 billion combinations to 3.4 * 10^38 combinations.
> basically everything in the Elixir case is a macro and non-standard syntax whereas literally of the components of the Clojure case are just standard data types, and yet it manages to be more readable.

“Readable” is mostly a matter of “fits the grooves already worn in my brain”; to me, the Elixir there nonstandard-macro-based-syntax-and-all, is vastly more readable than the Clojure.

The claim made by Bullshit Jobs isn't that N% of jobs are objectively useless in the grand scheme of things, it's that N% of people feel that their jobs are useless. Its n analysis of the alienation of workers from their work.
Interesting. I want to see the GPT 4 results also! But the impact of system message or not was an interesting discovery. Are system messages becoming more or less supported with the new models?
i dont have a settled opinion on software unlockable stuff. in general i think users should be able to hack it without repercussions. however, thinking about the concepts you present i had some hypotheticals. if tesla does all the self driving processing outside the car, it feels a little reasonable to pay them for their processing. but what if they just moved the heat seating processing out of the car (comparing the actual temperature to the desired temperature and modulating the power) ? that would seem unreasonable to me because the car is fully capable of doing it. So then what if tesla ships an intentionally terrible processor so that most data processing happens outside the car ? maybe it's reasonable again . ..

no point to this, just thinking out loud

Not interested in having a whataboutism discussion. There is a clear distinction here of software vs hardware
Docker and OCI containers with the layers and such are (in my experience) best used as a way to make any environment into a "static binary" in that you're pickling all the dependencies into a single artifact; the storage layers and network port stuff allow for abstraction.

LXC is best thought of as a way to make a VM, but each of your VMs shares a kernel and filesystem cache. Each of these "VMs" can have a unique IP address, and even a totally different userland, but is otherwise best thought of (For better or worse, depending on your needs) as a VM / computer on its own.

LXD is an orchestration mechanism to provision / manage these LXC containers -- it's like but not really like nomad or kubernetes.

For stateless things, I tend to use docker / OCI containers; for stateful things I tend to use LXC because the volume mounting abstractions in OCI containers just get in the way.

But that's me. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong in a variety of ways.

> For exmaple I try hard to avoid using any non-standard libs with Ruby scripts so I can just use the system ruby, and don't have to ship a Gemfile and/or install any gems

The ruby "story" for Gemfile dependencies for single-file scripts have gotten a BIT better since possibly last time you looked at it.

It will of course necessarily involve installing gems still though. Ideally for your use case, I feel like you'd want to install them to a local (not system-default) location ... which is ordinarily possible with bundler, but oddly the maintainers seem to think it's an anti-use-case for inline bundler? https://github.com/rubygems/bundler/issues/7131. I dunno.

Anyway, I put this here not to convince you, your decision is reasonable, but just other info for other readers.

Volcano's don't pump pure SO2. Yes, the science may be entirely valid, and it's not for me decide, but I think it warrants heavy consideration before we try to solve problems we're creating due to adding excess by adding additional excess.
