No: "Not copyrightable" and "public domain" just means nobody can say " I'm the only one allowed to make copies of that." It doesn't compel you to share information or help people make copies. (Ex: People interested in a family portrait from 1900 hanging in your house, or a Project Gutenberg PDF on your hard drive.)

Perhaps closer to software, recipes are not usually copyrightable either, but that doesn't mean a customer can taste my Secret Tasty Sauce and then force me to show them the recipe card.

I think the real question here is whether un-copyrightable source-code can be used to create copyrightable binaries... And how that might change when software projects contain a blend of source code.
Because it will be hella fun backing ZFS out of the kernel source once it's been there for a few years.
When you're rolling thousands of dice on phenomena that only happen once every hundred years, you'll get a lot of hits each decade.
Nope. This was hurricane remnants coming up from the south. I even recall tuning into some SoCal news stations for some live coverage. The atmospheric rivers come in the winter - this was late summer. Maybe it had weakened more and wasn't considered a tropical storm then, maybe just a tropical depression.

Edit: maybe it was hurricane Kay? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Kay_(2022)

"As Kay moved northward, it transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone overnight 9–10, not far southwest from San Diego, California"
With the simplest, one-shot, prompt-only workflow, sure, that might be a reasonable approximation of the truth.
With just a text prompt, no. But there are an increasing number of ways to use human decision-making to strongly and evidently control the outputs (LoRAs, ControlNet, Img2Img) that haven't been legally tested yet.
And also in Holland they barred right from the start using a mobile phone in restaurants which I love. I remember walking around the cobblestones one evening wearing dress shoes with a solid wood heal and got a lot of dirty looks for the clops. Not surprised at all this innovation is Dutch.
For people who are considering vegetarianism for environmental or health reasons, it's important to be able to say "You don't have to go without."

Yes, there are a billion lovely things you can do with vegetables, but sometimes people are looking for a specific known quantity. Maybe it's a "food as a nostalgia/cultural heritage" thing-- you always had a hot dog when you went to the baseball game, now you can still get a Beyond Sausage. Maybe it's not yet being adventurous enough to try a meatless dish that stands on its own. Maybe it's trying to cater to an entire family, where other family members are eating meat and you want to provide something they'll be comfortable with.

Even outside of the attempt to emulate meat, I give them credit for experimenting, because it expands the culinary vocabulary. Maybe those "realistic bones" can be used as part of an entirely novel dish to add texture or change how the cooking cycle progresses.
Very well said. A fourth group is people maintaining existing user code (including libraries), who also want backward compatibility.

They thought it was the situation. It was a mistake, which should have been fixed easily, but they had no way to get in touch with the owner.
The graph shown in the link ends at 2021, with was apparently a somewhat bad year but not horrible, with 4 million hectares burned. Clearly, there were worse years in the past, like 1989 or 1995, when more then 7 million hectares were burned.

Since 1996 no year had more than 5M hectares burned, and the graph (if you squint enough) does look like it's slightly trending down.

Except, enter 2023 [1]:

> As of August 17, 5,765 fires had burned 13,749,167 hectares (33,974,932 acres), about four percent of the entire forest area of Canada and more than five times the long-term average of 2.38 million ha (5.9 million acres) for that time of the year.

It seems misleading to cite a graph ending at 2021 when we're seeing the graph shooting off the chart right in front of us.

I'm not happy with your explanation because I feel it demonstrates that even an ostensibly smart, reflective person isn't outside their own cultural bias.

I can disprove your conception in about a half of a second by citing the economic, social, political and technological miracle, that no democracy has even come close to replication thereof, that was
... 1930s Germany. FDR was also inspired himself by similar autarchic methods of government, and saw the US through a devastating conflict with a fierce (and even technically and strategically superior) enemy.

Then we trip the programming and conversation goes buck wild.

Suffice it to say, merely because the West is exemplary and it happens to be in the current thrall of a political order doesn't mean this political order can be credited with the Wests exemplary status.
I totally agree! I know people and have heard stories of people applying to hundreds of jobs and getting few if any responses, let alone offers. I view the process as stochastic rather than deterministic, and that is why I call it a numbers game. I've applied to many jobs that I thought that I would be a ringer for, but end up getting ghosted. I try not to overthink it at this point. All that you can do really is apply and hope that it works out.
>It's polite. Sorry you have a chip on your shoulder about it though.

I would tell you to cut that shit out, if you dealt with me in person. I really would.

The Shah couldn't have taken the power without US help. It's one of the US few success, Pinochet being the second.

Obviously it's easier when you have internal support.

Basically the Iranian conservatives were divided. The Shah was unlikeable (or untrustworthy I think, if I remember correctly), so the old feudal/clannish/agrarian society wouldn't really support him. The industrialists liked him better, and the islamistes didn't respect him.

He had one advantage: a semi-legitimate claim that a majority would recognize.

He promised the 3 guarantees once in power, and since he had the political acumen of a 12 yo, the Cia handed the negociations for him (this is a 3rd-hand story). The coup worked, but he gave too much of his power after that, and basically handed the state to islamists (his political acumen didn't improve with the years).

That's the story I heard from an Iranian. I choose to believe it until all is declassified.
Racket is far and away the most popular Scheme (and I reject the claim that it is not Scheme).
The Windows 3.1 "tada.wav" sound

Orchards and the like need to be managed. Forests shouldn't really. It's a mistake to think the entire planet needs to be treated like a private garden/agricultural resource. While forest management can help by reducing the amount of bush etc., it can't mitigate the large scale effect of vegetation simply drying out. This 'forest management' concept doesn't include watering the trees, after all.

I'm a little sour on this term because it acts (consciously or unconsciously) to deflect from the actual problem of large-scale desiccation. Every time I hear it makes me think of someone saying 'Mars never has forest fires, because the vegetation has been cleared properly.'
Go with LVM parity volumes.

1. For sequential it's up to 3x with full stripe writes, up to 3x in random.

2. Reads in a mirror can't be 'distributed' for the sequential access anyway - repositioning would eat all benefits, it's always faster to read further than to seek and read.

3. For 4 drives it's negligible

4. You can even swap in smaller drives, if your total dataset would fit, no hard limit

5. Exactly the same

And you are free to use the free space as JBOD, mirror, mirrored mirror or stripe.
This is completely wrong...

When the Bambu came out, there was nothing like it on the market that combined price, speed, and ease-of-use. Yes, there were cheaper printers, and faster printers, and easier-to-use printers, but not in a single package, and especially not in a pre-built package.

Things like immature firmware were glossed over

The "immature" firmware is still better than the "mature" firmware Creality ships. And Prusa shipped buggy firmware for its multi-material addon for several years, despite being in the 3d printing game for over a decade.

Bambu got an advantage by being first to market.

Bambu's first printer came out last year. The Anker Make came out before it. Creality and Prusa have been shipping 3d printers for a decade. Voron has been a thing for about a decade. What is this "first to market" advantage you speak of?
While losing weight can improve OSA, studies have shown that, in most patients, it does not eliminate the disorder.
It was tropical storm Kay last year. It weakened to a post tropical storm some ways away from San Diego and ultimately turned back south. Though you are correct that it did have some impacts to California.
"Got it!" is indeed a very common expression in this situation. It does not exclude locomotion in parallel. We also here a lot of "ugh"s and "ah"s in Tennis or Martial Arts.

America is the oldest and greatest nation on earth. Literally invented freedom, democracy, and capitalism. And President Benjamin Franklin, who literally invented electricity, will not be besmirched.
If Ed Sheeran's music was removed from spotify tomorrow it would significantly decrease the amount people listened, and presumably some people would stop subscribing.

If any particular white noise album went away it would have no impact on revenue, people would just listen to a different one.
If you can afford to be a tourist, getting a free meal from the food bank takes food away from locals in need who need a free meal far more than you do.

Though food banks usually have an intake process and I imagine most of them would turn you down if you didn't lie and just honestly said "I'm a tourist looking for a free meal because there was this stupid AI-generated article recommending your food bank as a tourist hot spot."
I think this representation is a bit misleading.

They considered intervening with them, which by far doesn't mean banning them.

To put it into context after their acquisition they had been pushing podcasts in general, white noise podcast accidentally profited from it, and a bit too much.

Which is with what they considered intervening with.

But banning them would have been the last step if others don't work.

And even then you still would have white noise songs, just not podcasts. Or more likely podcast just not promoted, i.e. you need to more explicitly look for them.

I.e. the chance for Spotify removing users access to white noise content was close to non-existing as far I can tell.
Reminds me of my (pretty recent) sailing course :) I went on a few short sailing trips after and other people on the boat only trained on the boat we were on, which was much fancier than the one I first had to deal with. The original one had:

- tiller instead of wheel (my brain could not)

- no bathroom (bucket available)

- no furling foresail (got to change to a storm jib in strong winds)

- no auto locking winch

- no auto pilot

- no depth sensor

- no gps/screen

- no fuel gauge

- no clutches (only a couple of jam cleats that didn't work really well)

- retractable engine (so we had to lower it/pull it up manually, was fun to use it to stabilize the boat a bit when winds were strong)

Boat was also a bit smaller 31' vs 34'. I'd still take my course on that boat if I had to redo it, it was a deeper learning experience.

I'm not clear on what the status of the piece is after the ruling.

As in, let's say I got AI to generate a cartoon character preparatory sketch in black penline.

If I printed that out and used it as a reference to do a "clean room implementation" of the character — do I now own the copyright, since I'm the first person to produce a copyright-eligible rendition of that likeness?

Or since it's a copy of an uncopyrightable work is the character immediately in the public domain, as if it was generated by a human & then given a really permissive license?
One of the most annoying things to me of all the shit that Google pulls is that out of all of big tech they are actually the most capable of producing good software that is pleasant to use on a consistent basis. Especially web applications.

> Industrialization made wars of conquest unprofitable by 1890-1910 or so, and it took the world that long to get a clue

To wit:
“…much of [balance-of-power politics] theory was based on agrarian states or early industrial states. And one of the features of agrarian interstate relations was that returns to war outpaced returns to capital, which is a fancy way of saying you could get richer, faster by conquest than by development. Under those sorts of conditions, most powers were going to be, in some form, ‘revisionist’ powers because most powers would have something to gain by attacking a weaker neighbor and seizing their resources (mostly arable land and peasant farmers to be taxed). Indeed that basic interaction creates much of the ‘churn’ of interstate anarchy: everyone has an incentive to prey on their neighbors, creating the dog-eat-dog brutality of interstate interactions. The only countries without such an interest would be countries that were very small and weak, seeking to avoid being absorbed themselves.

But, as we’ve discussed, industrialization changes all of this: the net returns to war are decreased (because industrial war is so destructive and lethal) while the returns to capital investment get much higher due to rising productivity. In the pre-industrial past, fighting a war to get productive land was many times more effective than investing in irrigation and capital improvements to your own land, assuming you won the war. But in the industrial world, fighting a war to get a factory is many, many less times more effective than just building a new factory at home, especially since the war is very likely to destroy the factory in the first place. This was not always the case! The great wealth of many countries and indeed industrialization itself was built on resources acquired through imperial expansion; now the cost of that acquisition is higher than simply buying the stuff. War is no longer a means to profit, but an emergency response to avoid otherwise certain extreme losses.

So whereas in the old system, almost every power except potentially the hegemon, had something to potentially gain by upending the stability of the system, the economics of modern production means that quite a lot of countries will have absolutely nothing to gain from a war, even a successful one. Now that dispassionate calculation has arguably been true for more than a century; the First World War was an massive exercise in proving that nothing that could be gained from a major power war would be worth the misery, slaughter and destruction of a major power war. Subsequent conflicts have reinforced this lesson again and again, yet conflicts continue to occur. Azar Gat argues in part that this is because humans are both evolved in our biology (and thus patterns of thinking and emotion) as well as our social institutions, for warfare and aggression. We have to unlearn those instincts and redesign those institutions and this process is slow and uneven.”

Enforcement costs money, and one of the easiest ways to attack the government budget is to argue that enforcement "isn't working" because it isn't yielding offenses. A perfect enforcement regime with zero offenders starts look like major government waste.
> Also I don't understand why pressing a button on a camera is so different than writing a prompt and pressing a button, one clearly grants you human authorship the other is disputed.

This case was analogous to claiming the camera as the author, and the photographer as a copyright owner only because the camera did the work as a work for hire.

Which would also fail.
The problem is that I am constantly fatigued in finding out whether what I just read is a snark/joke/hyperbole/exaggeration (which is fun tbh) or a serious historical fact or part of your central thesis.

This is usually quite entertaining in other contexts, but when relaying history which entirely depends on narratives based on facts, it creates fatigue for me.
Hey, author of article here - I'm sorry if you felt baited, I'm planning to write more about this later in the series but it didn't really fit the story about PMF & setting objectives so I could not round it out more in this one unfortunately.

But I've realised I might have to write a separate post just about this specific incident and what we did to bring the spend and results back on track!

Also, I'm just describing how I was taught to market stuff - I've worked with a wide array of startup and Fortune 500 companies and it has been quite formulaic for all of them. But obv there are more than one way to do so. I'm actually a developer now so don't do any consulting any more - merely writing this down for my own record and if it can help/inspire anyone else :) Thank you for reading!
They charge less for earlier shows. So the thing they’re selling isn’t the movie, but the seat. And they do get more expensive if the theaters are selling out.
A monolith has more engineers working on it though and chances are some of them won't be great.
I wonder what Oracle would litigate over though? My understanding is that licenses are generally used by copyright holders to restrict what others can do with a work so the holder can profit off the work and/or keep a competitive advantage.

Here I do not see this argument applying since the source is freely available to use and extend; the license explicitly allows someone to compile it and use it. In this case providing prebuilt binaries is more akin to providing a "cache" for something you can (and are allowed to) build locally (using ZFS-DKMS for example) using source you are once again allowed to acquire and use.

What prejudice does it cause to Oracle that the “make” command is ran on Ubuntu’s build servers as opposed to users’ individual machines? Have similar cases been litigated before where the argument was about who runs the make command, with source that either party has otherwise a right to download & use?
It happens more often than people think!
given nomad is under business license now, can Hashi come after you?
QNAP's source drops are also kind of wild, in that they branched a looooooooong time ago and have been implementing their own versions of features they wanted since, AFAICT.
This echos my experiences, especially with the move to “live services” model for games. Often the teams working on the services for multiplayer games are very small so it’s all about leverage. They’re also embedded within a culture that doesn’t value or understand the practices and tools that are taken for granted in webdev, mostly because they’re hard to transfer to the other domains in gamedev.

I’m glad to see the open source development of these tools. Personally, there’s a lot of stuff colleagues and I have built that I would love to see open sourced. Otherwise we just end up implementing the same services over and over again.

Another example is patch delivery. It’s a solved problem yet everyone keeps rolling their own, or only shipping to Steam. Of course, all managed with some Jenkins scripts written by someone that’s no longer at the company. I want Fastlane for games that makes it easy to target the various distribution channels across desktop/mobile/console.
I wonder how this works between the theater and the studio. I think some movies are different prices to show, but maybe studios have some control over ticket price as well?

Edit: this article has some discussion https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/01/why-do-...
Bio neurons produce action potentials by depolarizing when reaching a threshold voltage, they're certainly very different from matrix multiplication operations.

The thought experiment is that a group of bio neurons can perform the same simple mathematics primitive that artificial neural nets use (demonstration: you can do a simple fused multiply-add in your head). So there is in principle a way of hard-wiring them that will approximate the function that a digital neural net based on matrix multiplication computes

Then it's a matter of taking your digital tokens and converting them to the encoding you use for your bio-neuron circuit, which is maybe a concentration of calcium in presynaptic neurons, a voltage, or whatever else is more convenient.

You don't directly take a brain and feed it tokens somehow. You emulate a digital circuit on squishy substrate in an extremely inefficient way, such that it runs the exact same program/does the exact same computation with a substrate made of biology instead of transistors. You make an injective function from boolean functions to cells and proteins, just to belabor the point that in principle GPT-3 can talk like GPT-3 and say it feels pain, without a single transistor being involved.
I wonder how much humans will have to “selectively arrange” ai generated code in order to constitute human copyright ownership. Would that mean copy and pasted code from chat gpt invalidates a whole codebase , or would it mean that as long as you don’t use it to generate an entire application it will be human copy writable ?
Yikes. The original story is easy to overlook because "LLM says something dumb" is not newsworthy. But Microsoft regurgitating vacuous, AI-generated "news articles" to billions of users is breathtakingly misanthropic.
