artist who makes hyper-realistic pencil drawings
of people where each picture takes 2 to 3 months
to make and looks literally like a photo-copy.

To you that is art. To me it is kitsch.

I don`t care if it took 3 months to make something that makes me want to strangle the artist at birth or if it took 10 minutes to produce something that makes me feel there are other humans in the world.

That`s the problem with art: there are no mensurables, it is completely subjective. Probably that is what makes it art.
My understanding of how this works is that you own a copyright on the modifications to the original image, but not on the original work produced by the AI. The way you're explaining it isn't consistent with how the law may actually be applied.
Yep. And thus, Gnome 2 was forked into MATE.

A good example of the forking / gradual evolution I can live with.
Try head of master. If there’s any bugs or graph breaks you hit, lmk, I can take a look. My numbers say 71% with a few custom hacks.

Glad the dynamic stuff is working out tho!
I sure could, with

1. write performance equivalent to the slowest drive in that single vdev, rather than being striped across two vdevs

2. reads that cannot be distributed across the devices

3. riskier resilvers in the face of a failed drive

4. no ability to safely swap in new drives to existing vdevs as I described later in my post

5. less resilience to device failures

There are always tradeoffs. I hope this illuminates some that I have considered.
What would be even crazier is if it was actually the same guys! Haha that would never happen tho
I've seen this used at hacker camps, where they mount noise level detectors in trees to ensure that certain party areas don't exceed their noise levels and disturb the quiet family areas.
How do you accurately measure these numbers? I suspect you don't.

It's hard to find NDB approaches at all anymore. Did you do IR in the US? The FAA from what I've read doesn't even encourage an instrument checkride in IMC. That's crazy you did it twice.
It's true. They should just rename the team cruisers. No badge required.
Until capitalism collapses, which is inevitable if we believe Marx's thoughts on the matter, copyright is an important way to protect and pay people who make things so they don't starve.
To me it seems entirely natural. If you had a continuous line of text on something pliable you could either loop it back and forth, or chop it up and put the pieces in a pile. Whilst we do the latter, to do the former is perfectly understandable.
We may get a successor filesystem before that particular situation is sorted out..

By all accounts mainline is at best not interested, if not actively against ZFS on Linux. The last few kerfuffles around symbols used by the out-of-tree module laid out the position rather unambiguously.
Ok, well I'm a professional rust developer and I agree with the other Rust developers directly quoted in the article, of which there were many.

But this isn't a Rust developer issue so much as a distro and security issue. Most Rust developers don't have to concern themselves with supply chain attacks or security audibility, so to them this probably seems like a weird thing to focus on.

But as someone who does have to worry about such things, trading off the ability to audit your supply chain for a small, one-time compilation boost on your first compile is a _terrible_ trade-off.
You can afford that when you have a monopoly.

the burden should lie with Cruise. instead, in typical tech fashion, they “move fast and break things” except now it’s interfering with emergency services, blocking traffic randomly, etc.
Depending on if my audience are Spanish speaking people or not. If the topic is somewhat related to information technology I don't see the need (even me that I'm a Spanish speaker blog in English about programming from time to time).

I think the sweet spot would be machine translation reviewed by an human, i.e. convert your translators to reviewers/editors of machine translation.
I listen to stuff on my headphones quite a lot when walking. In my previous city, I never had any hearing problems. I am now in a place where the larger your car (truck), the cooler you are. Its impossible to listen to anything because the cars are so loud. The old cities had smaller cars driving slower.

All the mail clients I use support this, including URLs that wrap onto new lines. Yet I still receive some emails with broken links if they wrap onto new lines. Somewhere along the way, these break before getting to my mail client. I never experience this with HTML email.

If you send long URLs – for instance password reset links with tokens in them – then you need to send them with an HTML part if you want them to be as reliable as possible. Leaving long URLs at the mercy of not just mail clients but the entire mail transmission apparatus, cannot be relied upon.

Not gonna happen, Microsoft wanted to buy them in the past, owner/dev is creator of seznam.cz, one of few search engines with own tech, which for years had more users than Google in CZ.

When Microsoft aimed for Bing to be better than Google, they've actually flew to CZ and asked the seznam.cz CEO to sell his company to them, he said no :D

Yeah it smells to me like the OP/owner never got the title, didn't follow up on why he hadn't gotten the title yet, and didn't give Tesla a working way to contact him. So it's a relatively minor paperwork screwup which should have been resolved easily but was drawn out and escalated due to errors on both sides.

The remote lockout is really lame and attention-getting, especially for the tech crowd, but any auto finance org would have repossessed in that situation. And I'm sure every auto finance org has experience with deadbeats who don't pay and ignore all communication attempts until the repo man comes.

From an American perspective, the problem seems to be of payoff timelines. Struggling and working hard for years doesn’t sound so bad if there is a great reward on the other side.

But when that reward is 15-20 years away, and is a basic house you can barely afford… something has gone wrong.

and simply call it oranges to apples!

after all, you can argue/haggle/negotiate with a myriad of software developer firms (who are happy to build and operate a bespoke service for you). you can also do the same with many service providers, all you need is a big enough order and they are eager to give discounts. big enough check and you can pick and choose T&C too.

free market or not, market forces, mostly supply-and-demand and barriers to entry and costs lead to very few choices.

however, it's likely that the accumulation of software technology and decreasing costs will make a lot more features available in service form.
It's fun to see people who are unfamiliar with the discovery process in law.

Part of the issue is that the randomization has not been crafted carefully, and instead seems totally uniform.

If 50% of the haircuts / outfits / whatever are feminine vs masculine, maybe you get a 50/50 split.

But if then 3/4 of the time, the "Other" category adds facial hair, you're getting masculine people 7/8th of the time.
In the Aging Oil Business, These Young CEOs Stand Out
I'm not sure that there's a sharp distinction. From my experience inside my own head, the times that I spend 'on autopilot' in hindsight seem a bit robotic. Pleasure and pain may have been experienced, but were somehow less meaningful than on other occasions when I am better attending to my feelings or just in a more stimulating environment (e.g. when it's raining and there's fresh breeze blowing in through the window).

What we think of as 'sentience' is surely a combination of things happening in our brains that all animals have to different degrees, rather than an on/off switch that's only present in certain animals and at certain times. It's just that most people's conscious experience is boring enough (unconscious -> wake up -> go to work -> go home -> go to sleep; I can do algebra but my cat can't, etc) that a simplified 'conscious or not' model is generally accepted.
Why not, if consciousness arises from some sort of brain activity? It would mean you need a nervous system that can produce that activity. It would also mean you need a nervous system, which many organisms do not have. Some animals have a nervous system, but no brain.
you might reflect on why companies do these sorts of rebrands to begin with. it's not usually to put a positive reputation behind them.

I don't quite get why people are so emotionally invested in brands like facebook/meta and twitter/x. at least from my perspective, it seems pretty easy to simply ignore them if you don't like what they're offering.

that said, I do have fairly strong feelings about comcast. I've lived in a few different places in my life, and in every one of them, comcast has been the only option for >5mbps down. their service and support sucked 15 years ago, and it still sucks today. I realize it has absolutely no measurable impact to their bottom line, but I'm still not going to help them get away from all the bad associations that go with the name "comcast".
> it has been repeatedly explained to me that theh make their bikes louder to be heard for safety

I always found that argument to be a bit of a red herring.

_Even if_ that was true and _even if_ the only way to safely ride a motorcycle was by disturbing every single person you pass by on the street, that still doesn't justify people riding loud bikes.

At that point, you are making a deliberate, selfish choice that your enjoyment of riding a bike is more important than other people's comfort.

It's like someone bringing smelly food on a plane and saying they're justified because it's the only way they can eat their favourite dish. We don't go "oh, they're right, the smell is necessary for them to enjoy their food." We go "just eat something else, you're being selfish".
It's a common additive in baked goods as well! I used to work at a bakery that would pump it through the HVAC to attract customers. People loved it, but all I could smell was vomit after being around it for so long. I rarely eat pastries anymore.
Did something change with regard to the value of a catalytic converter in the last ten years? Has the recycling market become more open than it used to be?

You've actually raised a fantastic real example of this in practice.

If I post a trollish comment, it'll likely get downvoted and/or flagged/hidden. In plausibly accidental cases, someone might leave a comment saying "you're likely getting downvoted because <douchey thing>." If I demonstrate a significant pattern of the same, I'll get shadowbanned (or fully banned).

You don't need to behead drivers of annoying bikes, but chastisement, mild punishment, and then significant punishment, is a sensible escalation. One potential system might be where the first offense gets a warning to fix the problem, the second offense gets a ticket and order to fix the problem, and the third gets the vehicle impounded.
No captcha at all? So you are directly „verified”?
You missed out on 3d printers in the last 2 decades apparently. Those have gone leaps and bounds from very rickety prototypes like the og MakerBot to cheap workhorses. Stepper motors used to cost like $75 ea and are now like 4 for $15.

Smart phones as well.

Many of these things you don't notice till they're everywhere.

Well when you value low effort content and high effort content equally, you discourage people from making high effort content when they can make money by just recording their roof.
It is a very comfortable vehicle to drive. The physical reality is that more inertia = smoother ride.

I absolutely agree though. American trucks should stay 100% in America. They barely fit in Texas-sized streets and parking lots... I cannot comprehend what it must be like to own one outside the US.

“Omnilingual”, classic science fiction novella which should be part of education
Always been disappointed that this novella is not more widely known or read --- it would seem an auto-include for any sort of cross-curriculum effort.
Oh, good advice. Reminds me of another tidbit:

A lot of people will hear "why" as accusatory: "why did you do it this way?!" becomes a question about culpability rather than causality; "what" is (apparently) what you want to use: "what led you to make these choices?"

(it's probably a moving target tho, although one that moves slowly)
That Spotify has some issues distinguishing how to pay their providers between the two and has turned into a much more lucrative place to put your white noise than anywhere else is specifically a Spotify quirk, not the consumer market telling a music CEO that music is worth less than noise.

The honestly pretty obvious answer to "why can't Ed Sheerhan's song be worth exactly the same as rain" is that the market demonstrates that there are lots of other places to get free rain noises or white noise or what have you while far fewer non-ad-or-subscription-supported on-demand song playment options.
If people care it's not because of an RFC from 30 years ago, it's because marketers have recently started to notice that plain text can sometimes cut through in a way that HTML doesn't.

Sometimes being the word.

Most corporate email will continue to be HTML for the foreseeable. There's no point expecting it to be anything else, because it just won't be.

>Why stay away from QLC?

Same basic idea as SMR hard drives: the savings are too minor to be worth the asterisks. If you're running at megascale and can afford to customize your workloads, software, OS, and firmware, around it and at scale the ROI crunches out as worth it that's fine of course. But at the individual or even SMB level? Nah. Like, taking Samsung as a fairly large, decent brand example, their 4TB TLC EVO drive is ~$220 right now, whereas their 4TB QLC QVO is... $200. Heck for whatever reason their 1TB at B&H costs (a very little) more, $65 for the QVO, while the EVO is $60. Is $5-20 over terabytes and years worth the slightest hassle or weirdness? QLC is IMO essentially a scam at the consumer level, dramatically impacting reliability/flexibility/performance consistency for really minimal cost savings.

>Does it not have its place in high-read low-write consumer workloads, such as software or media libraries?

Frankly no. I mean, putting aside whether SSDs themselves make sense in such an application at all vs spinning rust (same money will buy you a nice 14TB hard drive), but to the extent they do I still think the above holds. QLC is just physically fundamentally sketchier tech. And how sure are you (and how much trouble do you want to go through) about what your workload will be like long term? If you put the money/time investing into getting together a decent little SSD NAS with a bunch of terabytes, and then a year or two down the road want to have some VMs on it too, or have a fileshare and then it gets hit harder than you expected, or there's some bug that causes some write amplification, and then your QLC drives end up hosed was that really worth a few cups of coffee?

Maybe so! SMR really is worth it to a few places as well. Or ZFS dedup for a software example (with hardware implications). But all of this for me falls under the heading of "if you don't have a specific reason for it, don't".
Niiice. I'm looking to start flight training myself for ultralight next years and will definitely keep this bookmarked.

I have to imagine building 2.5 swimming pools worth of water storage is cheaper than filling a single swimming pool with a heavy liquid. They typically go for $100-$1000/kg, with the non-toxic ones of course being the more expensive.

No idea what the article is talking about wrt being able to utilize lower heights, as the amount of power you can get from a certain drop is independent of density. Higher density decreases the size of the pipes and turbines, so there is a potential economic benefit, but it doesn't change what locations are viable.
I don't think it is as easy as a firmware fix - seems the problem is on the SSD controller level.

Interesting! I wonder how the economics work out wrt aging of the liquid, abrasion (low abrasion != no abrasion)... and of course how environmentally friendly it is to dispose of.
