I'm sorry for bringing up hitchBOT. I've brought it up a couple times lately.

These stories change how we view the world, our fellow humans and others in it, and how much protection we need. It honestly isn't meant to be an attack on any group. Call it exhausted caution.
I looked at the demo and apparently everyone is a sociopath? One character is literally described as "a sociopath who has no empathy". So it might be a good idea to check up on them every once in a while.

Thanks for that. I tried, yet still there are comment responses that literally do the exact thing I think is so annoying: complain sarcastically that copyright is stupid because it obviously isn't incentivizing the original artists here. No shit, we know.

But whatever, those comments get pushed to the bottom, and I thought the top responses were really helpful (I didn't previously know about the details of the fair use tests).
> you might as well be asking the television stations to return the money they received for running the campaign ads, which... isn't gonna happen.

The PACs should have to return it and if they can't they're declared bankrupt and everyone associated with running them should be barred for 10 years from involvement in political donations in all forms.

Why are PACs lawless relative to the rest of us, do you think?
I do not advocate for the oppression of children. Nothing I said have called into question the rights of a five year old. I never said that guardians can't advocate for their children.

In fact the only point I made that you addressed you said wasn't relevant. So I will repeat myself clearly for others that are confused.
Five year olds can not be expected to advocate for themselves.
Five year olds do not get the final say on decisions concerning them.

Edit: What children would say with their soapbox is very much relevant it illustrates my above points.

Furthermore is it common practice to do edits without annotations? They are really annoying to keep up with frankly. This is the 2nd in this chain alone.

Please read the linked PDF for a proper understanding of the context. You said you "want to know", so I presume knowing the circumstances of what transpired are important to you.

Specifically, the suit alleges that Internet Archive failed to take the steps necessary for them to enjoy a safe harbor provided by the Music Modernization Act. In failing to take those steps, the Internet Archive failed to give the rightsholders (Sony, et al.) an opportunity to either permit or prohibit Internet Archive the digital copying and redistribution of the records in question.

That, plus the indiscriminate redistribution of the digital copies and soliciting monetary donations with those copies, all together are the arguments Sony, et al. are bringing forth for their copyright being violated.

Obligatory disclaimer that IANAL.
Didn't he already have some very prominent 1st amendment lawyer writing legal briefs about how not letting him intimidate witnesses was a big 1st amendment issue?

Sure, his money spends, maybe the guy would have done it for anyone who paid enough, but I suspect all these prior donations helped grease the wheel for that kind of thing, a lot.

Regardless of the moral merit, I feel Internet Archive is taking on way too much risk with regard to these copyright fights.

Internet Archive, in my mind is one of the most valuable things on the Internet mainly for their massive archive of web sites.

Risking losing all that over music records and a very risky “loan” program of copyrighted books seems rather reckless.

I think people get away with that kind of thinking more easily when the intervention being proposed seems generally unobjectionable anyway.

"Correcting vision problems for older adults" sounds like a good idea in its own right, so when someone adds a "and maybe it'll reduce dementia!" thought to the equation, even though the relationship might very well not be causal, people kind of shrug out a, "Sure, that'd be nice," in reply.

All other operating systems I mentioned had preemptive multitasking including installable apps before iOS released.

iOS limited access to background processing by terminating apps after 10 minutes and when resources were needed. This was a new policy not new technology. Other operating systems left background processing in users' hands deliberately.

Windows Phone released 3 years after iOS. Work started earlier obviously.

I haven't had the time to watch this video but I may check it out later. I would argue that most games when played at the extreme level are not being played the way they were meant to be played.

In a sort of "surivorship bias" way, the games which can be played to an extreme level often end up in that position. Some of the craziest speedruns of games are being played in ways the game designer never intended.

How game designers choose to react (or not react) to those unintended strategies/techniques and what effect that has on the longevity of the game is a topic I'd find interesting to discuss.

The point is that if you're "choosing the next token based on a list of valid next tokens," it's not surprising that you'll only generate valid output, since absolutely any choice mechanism will suffice.
From the anonymous report [0] linked here:

> Beyond the irregular manner in which she was hired, the most unusual thing about Maryanne Reed as a Provost is that she does not hold a doctorate in her field (or any other). The Provost is responsible for overseeing graduate education, assessment of Faculty research, and the administration of tenure, which is normally based on research and limited to faculty with doctorates (Reed herself was a rare exception to this pattern as a professor of journalism). A Provost with no experience in any of these areas is highly unusual.

As far as I'm aware, a Provost, or any academic executive, at a four-year research university without a PhD is super duper shady.

Imagine a Distinguished Fellow at Microsoft or somewhere like that whose previous job was a rank consultant at Deloitte. It's like that, afaik.

While Maryanne Reed, who holds an MS in Journalism, spent a lot of time at WVU (30 years as an assistant professor, which is usually the highest teaching position you can get without a PhD), her progression is still very unusual in academia.

Outside that, it appears as if WVU is being robbed from the inside.

I feel bad for the students.

if you're a publisher or make a living as a self-published author and you aren't keeping tabs on major book-related news, isn't that on you?

Most people would think they don't have to worry about it because there are these things called laws that say you can't make unlimited copies of copyrighted material. Which is what the IA did, independent of the fact they didn't allow their users to also make unlimited copies.

Don't get me wrong, I hate the very concept of intellectual property. But there are right and wrong people to engage in political activism through flagrant lawbreaking and the thirty year old forty million dollar nonprofit is the wrong frickin' person. Being morally justified doesn't make it not apocalyptically stupid and now the stupendously obvious result is happening and I don't even feel bad anymore.
As much as lilypond is awesome, it really is NOT the same sort of tool as musescore. Lilypond's purpose is to create "beautiful engraved (printed) scores". Musescore is as much a compositional tool as anything else, although the (now-former) project lead does value the printed output too, and believes that Musescore is now better than lilypond in several ways.
For Python, Common Lisp (that we both enjoy!), and a few other languages, I often get an entire function generated. If I ask for a function to make a SPARQL query to DBPedia, for example, it often generates valid SPARQL and code. I also ignore a lot of generated code.
Very meta. I like.

Of the two possible ways to bet against the market we are discussing Burry chose the one with less immediate downside if you have to wait to be right. But there isn't much difference.
My understanding is that PPXs allow arbitrary AST manipulations, which allow syntax extensions, whereas `go generate` just allows code generation.

My grandma was nearly completely blind due to macular degeneration from her early 70s, but she was sharp as a tack until she lost her hearing in her late 90s (this was also aggravated by covid-related isolation).

It would be interesting to see studies that compared the affects of different sensory losses, especially including when the loss occurred.

I've never heard anything about this, but are dementia rates higher among those who are congenitally without one of their senses?
You speculate a lot in this post, but have zero citations to back it up. I'm explaining the basics of what we should expect to cause a nation wide housing crisis. Unsurprisingly, the housing crisis is nation wide.

>In that case, it doesn’t matter if you build like crazy as in Beijing or Shanghai, or if you have minimal zoning like Tokyo or Houston, housing costs are going to soar because people will want to move there, and you won’t be able to satisfy demand without raising prices.

This is objectively false.
I don't like Brood War as a game, both to play and to watch. I much preferred Starcraft 2 over the original, but unfortunately the esports scene died for it. In any case, RTS games just don't seem like good games for humanity, it's very easy to get repetitive stress injuries from them at high APM play.
One of my favourite examples of this was the skiing mechanic in the Tribes series.
I love the timing of this: Sam is out on bail for the entire thing, basically living his life with 0 consequence for many many months.

Dell pushed a bios update that silently turned my expensive laptop into a machine that could not be used as a laptop because when I did, ie, closed the lid without shutting it down and put it in my bag it fried the mobo and subsequently would not boot.

Out of warranty (just) no way to ask Dell anything about it.

Dell are horrible. I hate them. The price has to be insanely cheap for Dell not to be just a plain old ripoff at the best of times. Actual lies, like detailed here should not surprise anyone.

This is such a common use-case or way of working (write down the melody/harmony first, then fix up the timing) and such a natural way to transcribe music, that it gets requested all the time.

The weird thing is that the software can do this but they've made it so difficult and fiddly via the UI that it's impractical as part of any work-flow but there is nothing fundamental/technical preventing MuseScore from supporting this way of working.

The forums are generally hostile when (new) users innocently ask how to use the software this way - perhaps out of fatigue.

It seems it's been decided that the "one true way" to transcribe music is know how each note relates to the bar structure of music first before adding anything to your score. As a result it feels like trying to use a word processor stuck in overwrite mode.
The author does state what you say at the end of the 2nd paragraph, but in the same paragraph, he said

"The reason given for this egregious violation of ethical and professional norms is that the university faces a dire budget crisis, and the administration has no choice but to cut academic programs in order to close their structural budget deficit."

And in the third paragraph...

"The story of how the university got into such a catastrophic financial position to begin with is a long and complex one"

I do not doubt the author's claim that the linguistics dept at WVU was profitable. I also agree with him that these decisions (sensible or not) are born from the massive financial pit they've dug themselves into.

>Sugar cane production
Sugar cane is a grass native to Asia and grows mostly in tropical and subtropical areas. In terms of the U.S. sugar cane production by state, it is mainly concentrated in the federal states of Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Hawaii. In 2021, Florida produced around 17.3 million tons of sugar cane and was expected to produce nearly the same quantity the following year. During this period, Florida accounted for more than half of the country’s total sugar cane production. Some nine hundred thousand acres of sugar cane are harvested yearly in the United States, generating over one billion U.S. dollars in annual revenues.

> Since the mid-2000s, sugarcane has accounted for between 40 and 45 percent of the total sugar produced domestically, and sugarbeets accounted for between 55 and 60 percent of production.

Sugar cane is a grass, and when i make a cake i use wheat flour and cane sugar.

I also know about sugar beets, but i specifically said "grasses". Saying that corn and sugar and wheat aren't grasses is hilarious. It doesn't matter what part we eat, as it's the gut flora that process it into the opioids, and they can't tell grass from the thing grass comes from.

In their basic form templates solve an obvious problem in an obvious way. It doesn't make sense to make the same data structure for every type, you want to make the data structure generic and sub in the type every time you use it.

The extremes of template meta programming are self imposed by people being fancy while writing libraries and the value is questionable. On top of that no one thinks that C++ templates are the ideal way to do complex meta programming.
If you think that's what you're talking about, then go actually learn what happened. As it is, you're just being the NSA's "useful idiot" by trumpeting their agenda without realizing what you're supporting.

I'm pretty confident the bribe money was under scrutiny the entire time (see campaign finance charges), and his bail was revoked for unrelated reasons.
One practical advantage is language features can be freely added/used without requiring/waiting for users to update their platforms to a new version.

- F# implemented futures (promises) in F#. So any F# platform could immediately start using futures without having to upgrade the language runtime. I think C# and JS were able to polyfill promises, but the simpler async/await syntax could not be polyfilled. (It might be possible with transpilers like Babel.)

- In a similar fashion, some JS features were implemented as polyfills to support browsers that lacked support.

As others comments have mentioned, the big take-away from "Lisp can be written in Lisp" is the concept that data and code are the same. Code modifies data. Code is just data, so code can be used to generate new code.

One of the practical applications is you can write a domain-specific language (DSL). Not only can you write "Lisp in Lisp," you can also write specialized languages made to perfectly handle your use case.

I believe Paul Graham made a DSL for e-commerce sites which helped him stay ahead of the competition:

1. His DSL was at least one level of abstraction higher than what everyone else was dealing with.

2. Lisp's recursive/tree structure was a good match with the structure of HTML documents.

Of course, functional programming is just a way of thinking; it can be implemented in non-functional languages; FP languages just make it easier.

I forgot where I learned all this, but this article seems to explain in more detail: https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/606619
Interesting piece. I don't think what we're dealing online with is anything new per se. Neil Postman expressed a take similar to yours when he said, "Information has become a form of garbage" in 1992. Things appear to be developing as intended; encourage the general public to develop an appetite for junk, make its consumption highly accessible with financial incentives for its makers, blind the public of any notion as to what the meaning of "food" is at all, profit.

The graver thing to ponder over is that the distinction between garbage and what isn't garbage is progressively becoming obscured to many.
Just guessing what was meant, but quantum physics in some sense tries all possible paths before an outcome is selected.

The problem with that is that without a quantum computer, or without some sort of filtering, that process can take up to infinite time.

For the five year old: is that not the point? Adults can, and do, things that are against their long term interests. Yet they have to go to adults to intercede, both because they have little autonomy and because they need someone to assess if it is against their long term interests.

Cases like this give them an opportunity to argue their position. It's not as though they are actually making the decisions.

Gen-Z is 30% smaller than the generation that came before. Universities should be better at math.
I wonder if it has to do with the timing of the loss, and whether the loss happens at the same time as other losses.

For instance, if you have an accident and become blind as a teenager, but are otherwise fine, 1) you still have a fair degree of neuroplasticity, but 2) things in your life are generally getting better, which can encourage you to think your current situation will improve too (i.e., you'll cope better, even if you never see again).

If you become blind in your later years while everything else is declining, it makes sense that your prospects for improvement would be much lower.
