Great non-answer.

None of the people whose art was sucked up by these machines had any idea that this would be integrated into for-profit tools and used against them in the market place, and almost certainly would not have consented if they had known that. The ones with copyrighted images didn't even give legal consent. The fact that Getty's logo showed up in red carpet images is a symptom of a problem that obviously went well beyond Getty, but there's no way an independent artist could prove it.

Furthermore, if you think artists + luck = commercial art you're completely 100% wrong. Most art school graduates don't go into fine art for self-expression with some lucky individuals matriculating into careers-- they go for job training. Go look at the degree programs for any art school-- almost all of them translate into a full-time commercial career immediately out of school the same way a STEM degree does. Concept artists, illustrators, character artists, environmental artists, graphic desginers, VFX artists, animators, cinematographers, choreographers, commercial musicians and composers, photographers... these people don't just spring up out of the fine art world. That is their career. I know because I am one.

Your ethics-dodging free market tech libertarian garbage holds no sway with me, so you might as well just save yourself the keystrokes.
Plastic-eating bacteria suddenly appeared (or were human generated, I don't know). This means, nature is adapting (if you view humans belonging to nature).

An example of nature adapting:

I read somewhere that when the first trees appeared about 380 million years ago. Their lignin could not be broken down. There were no organism who could digest that complex polymer. It took tens of millions of years. This was the carboniferous period. Wood accumulated without being broken down and got converted to coal. Then nature adapted and lignin get broken down. Coal is still formed but at a lower pace than in the Carboniferous period.

For me this means, the anthropocene is just one of the many periods of the Earth, and hopefully we will be fine. Let's cross fingers.
It gets me wondering how well Teslas will function with zero connectivity w/ Tesla. I mean, if the company goes under or (more likely) they drop support for older models, do older cars get bricked and disabled like clients for a multiplayer game that's gone offline?

Reminder: B2 is great for backups, but is not good for production assets that you expect to be available 24/7. They have a weekly maintenance window on Thursday for an hour. It often doesn't involve an outage, but sometimes it does. You need to account for that in your production planning.

More energy doesn't mean longer range for me. It means I can pass other cars and drive the speed I want when I'm up in the mountains, instead of having to eke out every last mile. If I get 8MPG in my mustang because I'm enjoying my drive, there are gas stations every few miles, even in state parks. EVs burn "gas" just as quick if you drive them the same way, but there's no charger for 60 miles. The KIA EV6 GT just can't make use of its 580hp in the places I'd like to enjoy it because it only has 200 mile range to start with.

Back in the days when my ISP didn’t do NAT , their dsl modem didn’t block anything.

Most people do not have the capability to secure their internet connection.
I still think the op has a good point in that NAT has protected many home networks , if nothing else from ISP incompetence , even if in theory a firewall could have done it better.

Contemporary Australia certainly may not have improved things, but most of those lands are and have been arid desert for millennia (in many of them, the only evidence of forestation has been pre Ice Age. It's generally just scrub).
And the Audi is already on the heavier side for vehicles of that size. Mainstream non-'luxury' sedans of comparable size are often 3200-3300, like Accord/Camry/Altima, and the construction of these vehicles is a more equal comparison.

This brings back memories. I got my start in parts wholesale selling 30pin SIMMs in static baggies out of my leather jacket in a Taco Bell LMFAO. It took some convincing to convince the management I wasn’t selling drugs, but the getup helped me to not be noticed by people that might otherwise know that I was carrying thousands of dollars in cash and chips daily.

I would sit there and wait for RAM hungry customers that would call me on my 3 lb cellphone lol. Each one has to buy at least a $0.39 taco so I wouldn’t get kicked out by the manager. They had armed security, who I tipped 20 dollars a day. I hung fliers all over town with tear-off tabs.

Then I went to COMDEX, it changed my life. Within 2 years I was in my early 20s and moving 2-3 million in hardware a year. It was a heady time.

Then, the business dried up overnight with online sales.

Fortunately I saw that coming and had moved into technical services and contracting, and sold the parts wholesale business to one of my competitors lol. The local wholesale distribution biz was dead within 8 months.

>The chances of that happening are indistinguishable from zero

Yeah, no. John Krasinski was waiting tables and struggling to make ends meet before getting his part as Jim in The Office that made him a household name today.

The casts of Friends and The Big Bang Theory were mostly nobodys before getting their parts which made them multi-millionaries that everyone recognizes today.

It's survivorship bias, but some of those "nobodys" actually do end up becoming very big "somebodys" later on, and the movie studios want to own their digital likeness for cheap early on, just in case, so that if they do become somebodys, they can pump out and monetize valuable ML generated content based on their likeness without having to pay them.
Does using smaller tracks and train cars suddenly mean that you can't put it in a tunnel the way we do with heavy rail or with this idiotic proposal?
Agreed, I do believe it's an artifact of a anglophone dominated web (if you're talking about someone from your country with your native language, you're less likely to specify their nationality). I didn't mean to be toxic with the dominated part or anything, I just think it summarises the phenomena pretty well.
They know their arguments are disingenuous. It's a ploy by the big agro-conglomerates to maintain their stranglehold over the dairy market. They've been artificially inflating and fixing the price of milk and stifling any competition for decades now. The dairy industry is a tax subsidized financial house of cards incapable of actually competing in a fair market. If demand for milk suddenly falls so does the house of cards.

I always forget just how big Australia is but from one British Colony to another, we are 28% ahead of you in the US, and North America is at least 2.6 times worse. And that's not counting the Spanish colony to the south.

That a good way to describe it, I think I'm gonna steal this term and start using it myself.
This would have been interesting if done carefully, but to me it seems like virtually everyone listed is basically some sort of weird exception that doesn't really count as land ownership.

For example- native tribes should more be thought of as nations than individuals or corporations. Land collectively owned by Inuit people is not a land owner anymore than just listing the size of a large country and calling it a "large land owner." The fact that they are not totally sovereign in the way most nations are is a technicality in this context.

Also, this huge amount of land owned by the British Royal Family seems to be just the combined size of all commonwealth countries? They have no real power or property rights to any of that land. I wonder if they are even counting only public land in those places, or also even considering privately deeded land in commonwealth countries?
This is a great program and I use it almost every day. A+

For my local units file, I've also defined a “floppyMB” for retro computing purposes. The old “1.2 MB”, “1.44 MB”, “2.88 MB” measures were based on the idea that “1 MB = 1000 KiB” (seriously). The “1.44 MB” floppies would be measured as either 1.47 MB or 1.41 MiB in more conventional units.

The Audi is 3,527 lbs, where the Model 3 is 4,048 lbs. The Tesla is a bit longer and narrower, but they're both big cars.

The Rav4 FWD is 3370 lbs, where the Ionic 5 standard range FWD is about 4,000 lbs (the SEL is 4,300).

If the best examples are "only 500-700 lbs heavier" I think there is still room for progress. Rounded, that's the rough 1000 lbs I suggested above.

Electric cars are, in aggregate, simply heavier right now— with implications for crash safety for everyone (especially those outside that vehicle). Any progress toward increasing energy density (and vehicle size) will confer a net benefit to society.
I'm conflicted - I see your point and agree; though I appreciate that by using methods of others... we don't end up with more

They're not "comparable" at all. You're probably comparing the lightest model 3 (which you cannot buy anymore, the newer models are heavier) to the heaviest Audi A3 model on the market otherwise they aren't "very comparable"

Same for the model S, it's on average about 200kg heavier than a BMW 5 series across the range from most basic model to heaviest on both.

If a car has a 500kg battery, and tech improvements can make that 200-300kg for the same range that would be quite good. Handling improves, safety improves, the suspension can be simpler and in the end also range in stop&go traffic would improve with less weight.
2012 isn't really pre internet though, right?
This is pure fantasy.

The English monarch was weak the past, and has been weakened further such that today they only remain as a figurehead, and everything they do is dictated to them by the democracies that they are supposedly “ruling”. Those democracies keep the monarch at their whim. (I believe Barbados just removed them, and Australia has been getting closer to doing so.)

“The crown” in those countries that do retain the monarch refers to all of the powers once exercised by a single person, but now exercised by the democratic governments of those places. That there also is physical object called “the crown” that rarely sits on the head of the vestigial monarch is not significant.
That was a really fun challenge and helped me freshen up on some skills I forgot I had. Thanks for that.
Elixir, other than the language itself, has wonderful developer tooling that's all written and configured in the language itself. It makes me feel really comfortable because it's all right there. You don't need external scripting languages. For some programming, you don't even need external libraries sometimes. It all feels very OS like, not to mention the OS-like nature of the BEAM.

If you're on the fence on Erlang or Elixir, watch The Soul of Erlang and Elixir by Sasa Juric: https://youtu.be/JvBT4XBdoUE

If it doesn't make you excited about a language, I don't know what will. It is an astounding feat that the Erlang team at Ericsson were so ahead of the curve and remain so today.

Yet another problem that could have been avoided if government had had the foresight to enforce a technology-agnostic swappable battery standard.
Isn’t this a huge risk to AMD’s confidential compute offering. It’s a major security flaw.
In a sense it's something car manufacturers have made for years. Most of the time the difference from one model of a car and another with more power is the mapping on the engine control computer.

Till this day it wasn't a problem since this was not really locked down, and despite the fact that is illegal, people did modify the car software to unlock more power quite easily.

But... that "locking" of feature kind of made sense, since a car with less kW pays less taxes (at least in my country you pay more if the car is more powerful) so selling a locked down model was also an advantage for the user that wasn't interested in having more.

Locking down heated seats... it's just a move against the user. Buying a car you payed for that seats, since they are there, why the manufacturer should ask you another fee to use for something you already payed? To me this shouldn't be possible.
It’s not a meme. Battery electric powertrains are heavier than ICE + fuel equivalents.
Whereas Audi are known for excellent noise isolation, road, engine, to the point that in some models they pipe in engine noise because it's almost too isolated.

All ports open and routed outbound sure, that's how they are now. Inbound though there isn't any clear reason to suddenly switch to allowing inbound session initiation to any port just because you aren't translating the port.

It may have been a good kick back 20+ years ago when security wasn't as much a concern as just getting working internet. Not sure it's actually a relevant distinction at this point though.
I don’t wish it to be super popular.

I heard the argument before that JS (and Nodejs) is popular (top 3), so you should go into it.

I’m now in a nodejs shop. Turns out, the way Erlang and Elixir is designed serves as a filtering function for hiring. People who just wants to code without putting a lot of thought into it, don’t go into Elixir and land in JS instead. (All the current coworkers I have wants to make things better but we are saddled with code that has been … oddly written)

At the last Elixir shop I was at, I was part of a small crew that was more experienced as a whole than other shops I have been at. And I liked it.
Don't forget all the sugar addicts out there. Honestly, I hear a lot of "failure of the government's mental health policy" takes out there. As a lifelong addict, and someone whose family, friends, neighboorhood, community circles are filled to the brim with drug and alcohol addicts, it seems to me, that the only thing that seems to work long-term, is to fill the gaping spiritual hole within the human. Nobody can do this, but the addict himself (especially not possible for the government to have much of an effect). 'More churches, less prisons' is something a friend of mine likes to say. That definitely worked for him. For me what has worked the last 5-10 years is replacing negative addictions and habits, with positive ones. I was born an addict, and will likely die an addict, but now that is nothing but a positive in my life.
No, fuck that. Tesla is locking people out of their own cars' features. Being allowed to mess with your own car is one of the privileges of owning a car.
Ahhh, ok that makes sense, they're in effect replicating Apple's method then. That does mean this can't really work on desktops atm, due to the low amount of pre-signed TPMs there, so this API is only actually unbreakable for Google and Apple hardware owned mobile devices. Which is already pretty bad, and allows them to boil the frog on desktops! Thank you for the explanation!

Edit: I wasn't aware Microsoft was already pre-signing basically all desktop TPMs, that's crazy. Makes sense thinking about it now, especially with Windows 11 requiring it.
My hypothesis has been that the saying is due to how we generally think about power supplies. The voltage is a fixed quantity but the current fluctuates based on what the circuit asks for and what the power supply can give you. Something could be rated at 100V, but if the supply can’t deliver any significant amps it doesn’t matter much
This is less true nowadays than it used to be, some games have quite a substantial amount of DLC of which no part is shipped with the base game. The Rock Band series comes to mind there, for one.
No need to be snarky/insulting here. It was just that your explanation purely on prices being either too low or too high seems incomplete. It's not clear why there wasn't a middle ground.

On the other hand, not being able to compete against the scale of major cloud providers makes sense. It's just not clear how that's related to you starting out with prices that were too low.
> The chances of that happening are indistinguishable from zero

The chances that it is what happened, given a big star, is near unity.

The chances of it happening for any given extra are near zero.

But that means capturing the data (EDIT: and, more importantly, rights; the data on its own is mostly harmless) on every extra means destroying the negotiating power of basically everyone who might become a star with any negotiating power, even though each capture is unlikely to have long term value of that kind.
You can camp on crown land. You need a hunting permit to hunt, but that's due to local laws. Local laws, based on public need may also restrict access, or particular uses of parts of crown land.

>Unless SAG-AFTRA is powerful enough the curb that kind of use of tech.

Unlikely. after the '78 commercial strike most studios made sure to keep a buffer of more than a year of content. animation studios are effectively immune to strikes since most animators arent unionized, and most of the voice work isnt either.

SAG also routinely spent time trying to turn acting into a racket. Membership was notoriously difficult and hasnt evolved with content creation in the 21st century. Ultra Low Budget, Student, or Short Films do not qualify towards SAG-AFTRA eligibility (Youtube/TikTok/etc...) SAG-AFTRA membership is also restricted to SAG-AFTRA job sites, so it doesnt really "grow" per say. Were you a grip or gaff on the set of a Ford commercial and it wasnt a SAG-AFTRA job? you're not eligible to join.

SAG's demands in the current strike are nearly as unreasonable as the studios.
