The court actually said AIs can’t be authors under copyright law, it takes no stand (becauae the question was not before it) on whether and, if so, in what conditions AI-generated art can be copyrighted by the human using the AI to generate it.
Cool beans, hope this covers code too, and once source code leaks from companies that use AI then we can all use it to...you know "train" our ais.
Intel does (or at least did) do this too, by not providing cpu microcode updates for some cpu models. "Only a small percentage of people use those..."

Thus our "Not a single damn thing from Intel" policy for the last few years. FUCK that crowd. :(

The “employee” and “Tesla” are one and the same. I guess as long as the repo company followed its obligations (i.e. verified Tesla’s incorrect documents), all this should fall on Tesla.

What's really stupid about this entire thing with robo taxes is they're trying to solve the hardest problem where there's the most competition with humans

In my opinion, the most underserved part of taxi type transport is rural and semi rural areas where the distances are large. The costs are high. The human salary cost is extremely high.

But the driving is actually the simplest cuz there's just a lot of highway driving and pretty simple downtowns
Yes, the problem of looted local institutions is pervasive. This doesn't mean that a Faustian bargain with the incumbent communications monopolies is a good thing, especially when they're insisting on offering a substandard product - lack of coverage area, hostile billing practices, DPI based surveillance/throttling, etc. Such crap was passable for cable TV, which was essentially an elective entertainment service, but is utterly unacceptable with the importance of Internet connectivity in the 21st century.

I said this in another comment, but I don't know why you're holding Google up as an exemplar. They don't even have the attention span to follow through on software projects that bear fruit over a few years. Meanwhile my electric company has been providing electricity for well over a century, with de jure government successfully preventing it from running away with extractive customer-hostile dynamics.

From other comments I believe you live in an area where you have a choice of several competing corporate wired providers. That's fantastic, and I'm glad your own needs are taken care of that way - where a functioning market can exist, we should celebrate it. However, most people don't live in such an area, including even people in dense areas with horror stories about their buildings signing monopoly contracts with a single provider.

Evaluating a law based on some non-normative fluff text is like judging a book by the marketing blurbs.

The law does not mention monetization of the news content as a requirement. It does in fact not mention monetization at all.

It is true that the law sets up enforced bargaining, but in a way that effectively precludes any outcome where Meta does not pay money.

If Meta links to any news content from any eligible news company, they must negotiate with everyone. If anyone they are negotiating with is unhappy with the result, they can take it to binding arbitration, and the law forces the arbitration committee to reject any offer that does not "contribute to the sustainability" of Canadian media. Any final offer from Meta that does not involve then paying a sum that is obviously enough would be rejected and automatically cause the opposite final offer to be accepted, no matter how unreasonable. (This is not symmetrical; the news company does not need to suggest a deal that's obviously not too bad).

The arbitration panel would incidentally also be forced to reject any offer that is based on a revenue share of ads shown for news content. (Since that would allow Meta to control the amount paid.)

Given this, why would any Canadian news company agree to a deal that allows non-monetized linking for free? As long as Meta plays the game with even one company, any of them can force Meta to both share their content and also be paid for it, whether Meta profits from it or not
Old books don't smell good. They provoke allergies.
Why all the recent fuss about ingesting PFAS and “forever chemicals” then? I thought Teflon is a kind of PFAS?
Actually, I've never really understood the reason behind this.

Surely, it doesn't really matter WHY you suspected somebody in the first place. If there's enough other evidence to show irrefutably that they committed the crime, there shouldn't be a huge difference between the first tip coming from some random guy phoning the cops and saying "there's a dodgy looking guy here" or getting a random match from a DNA database?

I can see the intent behind probable cause for e.g. traffic stops, because that is designed to stop prejudiced-based harassment. But if there is an extremely close DNA-match found randomly, that search hasn't caused any harm to anyone, and should be a perfectly good reason to investigate someone a little more thoroughly. Maybe it should be disclosed in the case, e.g. "we became suspicious because of the DNA matching, and further investigation showed the victim's blood all over his house, clothes, and the murder weapon that he'd put back in his tool rack" should be a slam dunk conviction not grounds for letting someone go on a technicality because e.g. there wasn't a nosy neighbour who'd reported them for being too noisy or whatever.

Another niche weather tool, Dark Sky, has always been a staple for me due to its hyperlocal rain predictions.

Small anecdote: there's a unique satisfaction in creating something of your own. A few years back, I started a home hobby weather project using an Arduino to collect microclimate data right from my backyard. It quickly became an expansive endeavor. I integrated it with a backend running on Kubernetes, had a React Native interface for mobile updates, and to maximize performance, parts of data processing were done using Rust and OCaml. I was exploring the trade-offs of the CAP theorem in real-time. You'd be surprised at how often "weather inconsistencies" were just my nodes not agreeing on state. It was less about weather forecasting accuracy and more about the adventure in distributed systems.

It ended up getting pretty expensive so scrapped it but I learned a lot from that project and remember it fondly
I still don't get why anyone would want to drive around sounding like that.

Evidence from game behavior suggests ~30% of people are willing to experience some cost to themselves in order to inflict a greater one on other people. People like this don't feel they are winning unless someone else is losing. If true, this explains a great deal.

I want to emphasize the importance of seeming an ENT. I also saw an ENT, but very early in my journey. I also had sinus surgery. After recovery was the first time in my life I could breathe fully through my nose. I had no idea - it was like being blind and being able to see for the first time, except I had no inkling others could see. That actually opened up a realization that the sinus issues they fixed had led to chronic infections, which upon over a year of various treatments I finally cured, leading to an incredible uptick in life quality. Turns out some non trivial percent of people have chronic sinus infections due to poor nasal air flow, and having an infection next to your brain doesn’t make you feel very good. But they’re also very hard to diagnose.

The ultimate treatment that worked was daily sinus irrigation plus a treatment of sinus irrigation with a specific type of topical antibiotic that can break down biofilms. I would mix the antibiotic with saline and topically irrigate the sinuses. The benefit was it wasn’t a systemic antibiotic so it didn’t screw up my entire system. I eventually read this book:

Harvard Medical School Guide to Healing Your Sinuses (Harvard Medical School Guides) https://a.co/d/dpDZwba

And they had a brief section on topical antibiotics. I asked my ENT and he said it’s a vastly superior treatment but most people refuse to do sinus irrigation so he just gives pills - which he said are usually partially effective, and thus temporary, due to the presence of biofilms.

Anyways long story - I recommend everyone assume they have a sinus infection and visit an ENT for a check up, and to take up the practice of sinus irrigation as a preventative measure especially during and after an upper respiratory infection. Apparently when baths were the common way of cleaning (especially before modern plumbing, using rivers and lakes), sinus irrigation was generally part of the routine by just dunking the head and filling the sinuses then expelling the water and other stuff. There’s a now lost English word for it that I can’t recall any more, but with showers and modern Victorian hygiene that dispensed with a lot of traditional hygiene, we’ve lost the practice.
I worked with a guy who was a super early adopter. I seem to recall him saying something like: his car notified him that it needed a repair on his phone and then a technician showed up in the parking lot and fixed it while he was at work, after he ok'd it. This was 2013 I think. I take it technicians don't just show up and do this anymore?
Such stents exist, like the Nastent [1]. They're expensive, more or less single use, and shoving a tube down your nose sounds very unpleasant. CPAP seems a lot more attractive to me.

Unless you mean a permanent stent, in which case I doubt it'll happen. You need the airway to be flexible (including for speech) in various places. It's hard to pinpoint which bits of airway are responsibe for an individual's apnea. And surgeries, especially in the throat/neck/airway area sound very risky.

This is so cool! Out of curiosity, could you walk through your decisionmaking around using Nix and how it fits in with Rivet?
Well. I am very excited by this. We've built our front end in F# with Fable and our backend/engine is in Rust which compiles to WASM.

The WASM story came second, and it'd be really cool to eventually lean into something like this, particularly given the much faster compilation time.

Have followed your work on Rescript, and excited to see that this is where you've taken things.
Thank you so much for micro ! I've been using it every day since 1 year and I'm a fan.
I'm really glad you achieved to bring it to a stable spot.

Complexity is fraud.
Exactly, it’s the perfect EV for the less affluent!
I think it depends. To compare it back to the phone phreaker example, putting up a single cone that blocks something is roughly the equivalent of cutting a phone line. That is to say, probably not hacking.

But what about when you add a level of complexity and creativity? Say, putting up a series of cones that trap the car in an endless circle?
Why do you think the news about W-7X makes any difference? Stellarators, like tokamaks, will have terrible volumetric power density, and are very unlikely to lead to something that could compete economically, even if they "worked".
Thanks for the kind words and tips!

Local development is tricky, and we have plenty of room for improvement here.

Currently we provide a special developer token [1] which will cause API endpoints to return mock responses when used locally. This way, you can use the exact same API with no difference in production & locally, so you don't have to mess with nested prefabs.

However, this doesn't help much with exposing your local machine for testing. We've toyed around with the idea of something similar ngrok built in to our Rivet CLI and integrated in to the API.

> That's why people had to leave fields fallow, to allow nitrogen fixing plants (such as clover) to grow and then compost in-place

Leaving fields fallow does allow the land to recover and can reduce certain pests and diseases. However, the primary purpose of leaving fields fallow historically wasn't necessarily for nitrogen-fixing plants to grow. That said, some traditional farming systems deliberately planted nitrogen-fixing cover crops, like clover, in rotation with other crops to replenish soil nitrogen. And let's not forget about nitrogen fixing trees.

> an extremely poor efficiency of biological nitrogen fixation

Biological nitrogen fixation may not be as immediately effective or efficient as directly applying synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, but it's a natural process that has sustained ecosystems for millennia. To say it has "extremely poor efficiency" might be an overgeneralization. In sustainable agriculture, the efficiency of nitrogen-fixing plants isn't solely measured by the speed or volume of nitrogen delivery but also by the myriad of other benefits they provide, such as improving soil structure, suppressing weeds, and promoting beneficial soil microbes.

> It's a wonder that it works at all

Biological nitrogen fixation is a well-established and crucial ecological process.

Yes. They would meet you at your home or work and work on it there or leave you with a nice loaner if they needed to take it.

I haven't been offered a Tesla loaner in years when I take it into service. I don't even ask anymore.

They also don't wash your car. After spending $4k on service and waiting for 30 minutes for them to "open", I was told to go out into the side parking lot to find my car (using the location feature in the app), which led me to the car being parked underneath a tree, collecting sap. I also then had to come back in because they still had my key.

It's a shit show.

> If the Danish central bank did not need to maintain this peg, they'd probably just let the value of the DKK increase relative to the USD – instead this manifests as more expensive housing in Denmark as the interest rates are kept artificially low.

Assuming the majority of purchasers of Danish housing are made by those who are paid in DKK, so this is in fact keeping the prices low.

Musk is trying his hardest to eliminate the steering wheel too. He has been promising that full self driving is just around the corner for half a decade now. The newest version (still in testing) basically threw away nearly all of the work and replaced it with an machine trained model, because we all know how easy it is to debug problems with ML models.
So, what does HN consider to be good brands to buy these days, when it comes to SSDs? Sorry for bluntly asking.

Tesla, like many pioneers, began with a laser focus on product superiority and disruptive customer service. But as it grew, its focus seems to have shifted predominantly to scale, efficiency, and margins.

Don't get me wrong; scaling is essential. But the danger lies in when companies forget what made them loved in the first place. The on-the-fly service appointments and tech-forward ownership experience is what differentiated Tesla, much more than just their battery technology.

At the end of the day, it's a classic lesson in not forgetting your roots. A company can have the most cutting-edge technology, but if it can't maintain the human side of business, its reputation will eventually erode. Elon's always been about "first principles thinking," but sometimes, the first principles of business are just good old fashioned customer service, something a lot of tech companies just don't Believe in with this fixation on relentless optimization of everything

To be fair to Tesla that kind of service is only possible for high end vehicles like the S and X models.

The 3 and Y are way to cheap to sustain such a high level of service.

However that doesn’t excuse this theft or other examples of truly bad service from this thread.

No? He drives cars, uses multiple car rental/car shares schemes, often says that it’s not cars he dislikes it’s urban design which leads to car dependency - unsafe for anyone outside a car, no provision for anything other than driving, single family housing zoning leading to everything being too spread out to go anywhere without a car - and that he’s not a ‘cyclist’ and would prefer taking a tram when possible.

The channel is even called “not just bikes” to push back against your kind of mischaracterisation.
