God bless Amsterdam for doing this. I had to move because of the noise produced by cars and motorcycles in the city where I lived. The vehicles were intentionally made noisier with "aftermarket exhaust systems". The people who intentionally make cities noisier are the lowest possible scum. Their vehicles should be confiscated and sold at auction, with none of the proceeds returning to the former owner.

More than 2 HDDs starting to fail at the same time would be really bad luck. Maybe the issue is elsewhere, like the HBA or the motherboard ?

For the story, I have a NAS with an AMD B550 motherboard and some Asmedia SATA controllers with a bunch of WD HDDs, using ZFS. At some point, they also started to throw weird read errors when under heavy load, but would work just fine the rest of the time. Turned out it was caused by me moving the SATA card from one of the PCIe slots wired directly to the CPU, to a PCIe slot wired to the B550 chipset.

From the link: 'It was suggested that copyright protection afforded to the computer program may also extend to the output files if the program does the “lion’s share of the work” in creating the output files and the user’s input is “marginal.”'

Even if you consider the user input to be marginal, the issue from the link is the copyright of the program extending to the code, not that of the user.
Good question & to be honest I'm not 100% sure, though I bet there are many laws vague enough to capture it.

If it causes extreme traffic jams, perhaps there's some kind of public nuisance law that will cover it? Is interference with public infrastructure a crime?

Do you actually think this type of behavior will simply be tolerated?

That's a fascinating ruling.

Forget AI for a minute. Let's say I write a program to generate cool images using Penrose tiles or space filling curves or some other algorithmic process, maybe deterministic, maybe (pseudo-)random. Under that ruling, it sounds like all of the outputs of my program would also fall under the copyright of the original program, unless the creator could prove that they did substantial work in addition to what the program did.

Which then leads to the next question of: what is the "lion's share"? Does it matter if I randomly punch in some parameters and get a nice result on the first try, or if I spend hours trying different parameter combinations to find some thing that looks the way I want it to? Even if the outcome is still considered owned by the software author, is my particular parameter choice copyrightable by me, being my own creative output?

If you think about it, the modern generative "AI" systems are more or less the same thing, but where the input parameter space is something like the entire space of written language, rather than a couple drop-down menus with algorithm settings and a seed for a PRNG. Does it matter if I slap in a simple prompt and get a nice result, or if I spent hours engineering a perfect prompt?

If anything, it should be unambiguous that the prompts are copyrightable just like any other written work, being actual free-form human-readable text. So at least AI artists have that going for them.

It will be really interesting to see what happens as more court rulings unfold.

Yes, that’s generally good advice.
Spinning disks absolutely do fail this way. Drives from the same batch can easily work 5+ years fine and then fail within a few hours of each other. Even worse, in a RAID the additional load from starting a new replication after a hot swap can push a borderline drive over the edge, and this is precisely the time when your data is at its most vulnerable.

I've worked at places where they always maintained a sizable inventory of new disks so that every time a new machine was provisioned, it would receive a RAID comprising of at least 3 disks bought from different batches at least a couple of months apart from each other, and as much as possible from different suppliers.
You're right on one point: the standard is very explicit.

And because it is explicit—a fact you yourself just admitted—the fact that silent erasure of non-dead code is not a listed option in response to UB means that it is not allowed.

> However, part of the initial setup process requires you to connect to the printer via Bluetooth in order to setup the wifi connection in the first place! Clearly it IS possible to communicate with the printer without an internet connection.

This is actually a pretty bad argument. Bluetooth only goes 30 feet, so your connection would likewise only go… 30 feet. All of the things you can control on your smartphone can be controlled on the printer itself, so what’s the point?

Unless you are complaining that you can’t use the smartphone app, while at your own home on Wi-Fi, without connecting to the cloud. That is, I will just say right now, not how 90%+ of customers would expect an app to work. For most people, a smartphone app that only works at home is confusing and upsetting.

Finally, while it doesn’t work from the app, you can control those things and view footage using the Bambu Studio desktop app without a cloud connection, IIRC. You just need a PC, not a phone, though I would argue this makes sense as a fair trade-off considering the consumer demographics. A PC would be way more reliable anyway as your phone would be switching onto cell tower networks which obviously don’t have your printer on them.

Edit: Also, Bluetooth tops out under perfect conditions at 2.2 Megabits. Real world is far lower. You can’t reliably send a video stream over Bluetooth. Heck, Apple doesn’t even try to send a lossless audio stream over Bluetooth.

>> Previous rulings had found that when code itself was copyrighted due to being a work of art (of human labor)

Traditionally code would be written as a tool to achieve a specific output. If you automate the task of generating a particular piece of code, you still did all the work, or at least defined it pprecisely. While I don't see AI as an independent mind (yet) it seems independent enough from the person who prompts it to say the prompter doesn't own the output. I'm so 100 percent on what I just wrote, but it seems reasonable enough to say the precedent you mention may not apply.

You're acting like the infrastructure for reproducible builds can't be built in Rust and then added in to tools like `cargo vet`. There are lots of options here, including having the proc macro wasm files built on crates.io.

There is a reason why Rust doesn't yet have these sandboxed, pre-built macros and why the community needed a kick to get working on it. It's not easy, but it's entirely possible to reach the bar of auditability.

You realize that the first step people do when developing Rust is use a pre-compiled rustup to get a pre-compiled Rust binary toolchain, right?
From the discussion with my doctor and dentist, I ended having both the cpap for home usage and the dental appliance, made by the dentist, for when I'm sleeping elsewhere. In my case (just above mild apnea), sleep is incredibly better with the cpap, and mildly better with the dental appliance,so the second one is good for temporary measures. And I resent forgetting it when it happens, as a week of poor sleep really affects my behavior.
As I understand it the law:

1. Defines a negotiation framework between news creators and online sharing sites. So not a specific fee, just forcing sites to come the table. Which means flat rates (not per share) or percentage based arrangements (like spotify does with artists) are totally possible.

2. only applies when there is a significant power imbalance between the news creator and sharing site. This bit i think means it wouldn’t apply to hn or a mastodon instance. Twitter i’d guess it would apply to. reddit idk, they’re smaller than you’d think.
Yup, but who knows, that graph also doesn't even bother with a description on thy y-axis, maybe it is supposed to go from 0 "maximum bugs" (zero code non-buggy) all the way up to "no bugs" (all lines of code bug free). Or maybe the author just wanted something colorful for us to look at.

Always loved the smell of ink in books and graphic novels. Often times the first thing I do when I have a new book is just open it halfway and burry my nose in between the pages. Maybe it is a fetish? Hmmm. Never thought of that.

Sure, because judges are stupid. This kind of thing has been in court before.

If I recall there was some case in which the authorship of some picture was contested, and the judge asked the people involved to draw something right there, in court.

So the same thing would happen. They'd ask you "okay, so how did you draw it? What tools do your use? Can you show us sketches? Can you draw something here, right now?"

Don't buy anything from WD.

I RMA'd a failed SSD to to them under their "advanced replacement program".

They put a hold for the value of a new SSD on your card and ship it to you before you ship them the dead drive.

When they received the dead drive, the claimed that they would be unable to service it under warranty because the sticker had been removed.

I quoted the FCC's Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act to them and outlined how it is illegal to void a warranty based solely on the removal of a sticker.

They stopped answering my emails/tickets. Charge went through on my CC for replacement drive + $25 advanced RMA fee + shipping.

I sent Apple Card CS team a transcript of my interactions with WD, they filled a chargeback for everything.

> If it's not that it's upgrading 100 services worth of dependencies constantly, debugging contract violations and weirdness or performance issues.

Of all the reasons microservices are bad this isn't it. Your first point can be handled mostly automatically with half decent SRE tooling. Lock files on any modern language (including Python via poetry) fix dependency weirdness. Contract violations are a problem with your developers not the style of programming. As for performance I've been on both sides and being able to independently scale microservices via kubernetes is a god send. With proper tooling microservices work great.

The real problem with microservices is what you mentioned before that IMO. Complexity for complexity's sake. Some things are better as monoliths and some things are better as microservices. It's the same problem you see with normalization vs denormalization. Microservices are unambiguously faster in almost all cases. "Do one thing" means that one thing can be optimized to death, in isolation, without fear of interrupting other services. It also means team structures are easier to manage. Microservices don't mean pull in the entire universe of RESTful libraries and use exactly one feature for 1 or 2 endpoints.

But this introduces another problem:

A second managerial problem is that microservices are often used in scrappy startups with < 200 engineers. On any complicated platform this means one engineer might need to know how 10 services work. That's not feasible. You need to split it so a team owns a couple services and "does one thing right" (those services) and nothing else. It's the overapplication of microservices to every problem that is the source of most woes.

Startups will religiously apply microservices. The thought, of course, being that they can hire/fire faster and an outsourced engineer can probably pick up the necessary work quicker. Of course, this never happens, because instead of 10 microservices you have 300 and no one even knows where half of them are. 99% of the time it's not the pattern that is the problem. It's cargo culting. Just like everything else in the industry (looking at you electron, leetcode, functional programming, agile, etc).
There’s a point at which money is no longer the deciding factor in people’s decision making. The amount of money required to make it a deciding factor again is uneconomical, and is of the “I’ll do this for a few years, then retire” variety, which is a net negative due to brain drain. So, no, just paying people more isn’t the answer.

There are existing supported bindings for direct3d from MS, as they themselves are migrating. GLES and ggml also have supported bindings. I like nalgebra + rustfft better than eigen now. Nalgebra still isn't quite as peformant on small matricies until const generic eval stabilizes, but it is close enough for 6x6 stuff that it is in the noise. Rustfft is faster than fftw even. Rust has intrinsic support on par with clang and gcc, and the autovectorizer uses whatever llvm know about, so again equivalent to clang.

On the last point, I will again assert that a good c++ developer is just a good rust developer minus a month of ramp, that you'll get nack from not having to fight combinations of automake, cmake, conan, vcpkg, meson, bazel and hunter.

Speakers of different languages remember visual scenes differently
»Language can have a powerful effect on how people experience events. Here, we examine how the languages people speak guide attention and influence what they remember from a visual scene. When hearing a word, listeners activate other similar-sounding words before settling on the correct target. We tested whether this linguistic coactivation during a visual search task changes memory for objects. Bilinguals and monolinguals remembered English competitor words that overlapped phonologically with a spoken English target better than control objects without name overlap. High Spanish proficiency also enhanced memory for Spanish competitors that overlapped across languages. We conclude that linguistic diversity partly accounts for differences in higher cognitive functions such as memory, with multilinguals providing a fertile ground for studying the interaction between language and cognition.«

Sure, some are fallible and susceptible to this. As far as a liar is concerned, I think the difference is the ability to adjust when confronted with contradictory evidence. If someone in a position of power and control decides to nuke a country because they believe a zombie plague is rampant there, it is better if they have personality type that's agreeable and conscientious when confronted with evidence that shows otherwise. Ideally they realize they're more susceptible to believing falsehoods than others (the researchers showed that there were differences amongst people), and so the susceptible person removes themselves from a position of power and control.
