An analogy for software engineers:

Scenario: The XYZ Algorithm

Let's say you are a software developer working on an extensive library that deals with data processing. You come across a small, but particularly efficient algorithm developed by Company A, which they've shared on their blog. This algorithm, called the XYZ Algorithm, is explicitly mentioned to be freely usable but retains the copyright to Company A.

You decide to use this XYZ Algorithm as a component within your larger library. You integrate it as-is, without modifying the original code of the XYZ Algorithm.

Implications:

Rights on the XYZ Algorithm: Even though you've integrated the XYZ Algorithm into your library, Company A retains the copyright on that specific algorithm. If they've specified particular licensing terms or conditions for use (like attribution), you'd have to abide by them.

Rights on the Entire Library: The rest of your library, which you developed independently, remains your intellectual property. Company A's copyright doesn't extend to the whole library, just the specific portion that constitutes the XYZ Algorithm.

Distribution and Licensing: If you decide to distribute or sell your library:

You'd have to ensure you comply with any licensing terms or conditions attached to the XYZ Algorithm.
For the parts of the library you own, you can choose any licensing model you like.

Just because Company A can stop you from commercializing your entire Library, does not mean they own rights to your entire Library.
I hope you meant jump.
The `Accept` HTTP header is there to prove your frontend is using "dumb" data. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Ac...

I think the author is generally correct that all data should be provided in a single request. And to take it a step further, you should be able to change your accept header to JSON to serve an API. API/dumb-frontend aren't mutually exclusive.

In fact, this is what both GitLab and GitHub do. Try it out!

`curl -L https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper` (defaults to text/html)

I have used Moodle for a long time. It installs easily (even with a *AMP stack)

Or your own Apache, php, *sql.

I installed it on my laptop to document work, and on small company servers to share documentation, with the additional ability to add discussions and so on.

Mainly, getting started was easy, and the available formats were easy for people to grasp.
Good quote none the less and from what I know of Mark Twain, he wouldn’t have minded being attributed that.
> So isn't it just transfering the problem from presidential elections etc to plebiscites? Or is he advocating we randomly select a dictator? And who actually makes policy proposals and how does that process become less partisan?

I think you're overlooking the part where the members of the legislature are also randomly selected? The structure of the government wouldn't necessarily have to change. The change would be in the selection mechanism: elections vs. sortition.
I'm a member of an organization that has moved to having each person who submits a paper for presentation sign an agreement stating that if they are selected to present at the conference, they will do so in person barring some act of god style event, on penalty of being barred from any further dealings with the organization.

This was brought about purely from folks submitting papers to get something published in the conference proceedings and then promptly fucking off into the sunset without ever showing up to present.

I was relocating from California to NY/NJ and packed in a bunch of interviews over one day. They were all startups, and the first two or three were great. Very professional companies and people.

The last one, the guy was twenty minutes late for an hour interview. I had a hard stop to get to JFK, so I was getting anxious and ready to walk. He finally comes gets me. The place is tiny and everyone is squeezed into two large tables, one being a large round dining room table. No one made a sound, and it seemed like a sweatshop.

Not kidding, we maybe spent about ten minutes talking about my experience, and he took the remaining 20-30 minutes talking about how he was likely going to leave soon to do a Masters in PolySci. Guy was smug as hell. He basically said I should expect an offer, which was great to hear, but seeing the place, and vetting me only after really ten minutes, I thought that was a huge red flag. I withdrew the next day when I got back home.

They sold to a major newspaper about 8 months later. Not sure what the terms were or if it would have been a quick payout for me, but my gut says that would have been a miserable 8 months. The job I took instead turned out to be four years at a great company. It ultimately failed, but I was managed by a sharp boss who I greatly respected, and colleagues who many ended up being great friends.
They call it “best practices”.

Where did they learn what’s changed in best practices for fast food logistics since the last time they consulted for Burger King? Well, funny enough, they were recently engaged by McDonalds…

If you think about someone living in a city where they can take the bus and they don't own a car, they might not have a license. Then they might not get one just to vote in an election every four years that will just go the same way the state always votes (of course they end up not voting for everything else on the ballot).

Then maybe you shut down some polling places, split some up, move some around. Maybe you expire people's registrations early.

This is how you bend statistics to your side. It isn't about one person technically being able to navigate every obstacle. Every time the bus goes around a corner some people fall off and that's the point.

You are falling into the exact type of thinking that the people who create these situations want.

I don't think maximal (lossless) compression is an ideal for AI. Sense data (our eyes basically provide video feeds) are very noisy and compress extremely badly if you try to do it losslessly. I don't think the Kolmogorov complexity of Oppenheimer would be much shorter than its gzip length.

Usually, when we try to make predictions about unseen data from given data (induction), we make a trade-off between the complexity of a hypothesis and how well it "predicts" the available data. Solomonoff induction doesn't make this trade-off. Being based on lossless compression, it always demands perfect "prediction" of the available data, even if this means that the complexity of the "hypothesis" (~its Kolmogorov complexity) is very high and perhaps hardly smaller than the length of the uncompressed available data. Such greedy strategies usually tend to extreme overfitting and terrible generalization to new unseen data. What you really want is to accept some lossiness in predicting the available data for a much simpler hypothesis (better compression ratio). An optimal AI would always make the perfect such trade-off.

It was just one example.

Total resource demands are still way, way, way over 100x. Data speeds. Peripheral inputs. Storage. Basically everything.

And no, of course a computer doesn't boot at a different speed depending on display size. It's about the assets and code that fill displays of that size -- all the graphics you've got to load, all the code that has to draw the antialiasing and transparencies and shadows and subpixel font ligatures and everything else.

Same way the code for dealing with storage capabilities is way more than 100x as complex. For peripherals. Etc etc etc.

That isn't quite right.

Notice how WinUI 3.x is the first thing named publicly named WinUI, but its already at 3? UWP is 2.x, Metro/WinRT/WPF is 1.x. They're all part of the same family of XAML UIs.

The part that got hard killed, and backwards support was absolutely 100% murdered was the Silverlight stuff, which was a XAML predecessor (and RIA runtime to compete with Flash/Air) written entirely in C#. For performance reasons, the WinRT/WPF->UWP->WinUI 3 branch of the family is largely WinRT-dialect C++.

So no, Microsoft actually hasn't abandoned the tech, they abandoned the dumb idea that all apps need to work on the Windows Phone (which no longer exists) and must be released on the Microsoft Store (which now allows apps in other languages), and everything has to be written in C# (which, again, is no longer forced on programmers), and everything needs to be Windows-only (Project Reunion aka MAUI brings both CLR and non-CLR WinUI apps to Linux).

Also, I'm not sure why you're branching WinUI family off from .net, as WinUI is the UI toolkit for CLR apps.

My sister works in interior design, flooring, etc. in a wealthy county. It isn't nearly rare enough that someone asks for an 8'x10' rug, she points some out, and the person responds, "That's a 10'x8'. I want an 8'x10'!"

I wish she were kidding, prone to exaggeration, or a liar, but it just ain't so.

Whenever I have shitty experience like that I always think of the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, there's some part where somebody doesn't deliver and the bad guy loses out, and upon being told he lost something valuable, he says "not as valuable as knowing who to trust".

That was pretty standard among browsers a couple years ago.
Each Raspberry Pi could perform a function that was notionally passed to the monadic bind operator, but really a monad is the rules under which the Raspberry Pis would be connected.

From Wadler's paper "The Essence of Functional Programming":

"2.1 What is a monad?

For our purposes, a monad is a triple
(M,unitM,bindM) consisting of a type constructor M and a pair of polymorphic functions.

unitM :: a-> M a

bindM :: M a-> (a-> M b)-> M b

These functions must satisfy three laws, which are discussed in Section 2.10."

So the monad is a functor plus a few operations and laws. It is an algebraic structure, not a type of object or function.
You must be a troll or someone totally ignorant of the archiving process in the real world. From your posts, you seem to think that the entire act of archiving is the digital scanning of an image. This is just one step of the many that needs to be done. A proper archive would log which operator did the scanning so questions can be be made to the proper person. Metadata needs to be logged so that these random digital images have some sort of meaning. Otherwise, it'll look like someone's mobile photo gallery; just a pile of incrementing file names and dates of when the scan took place. Basic information on which roll would be useful. Most microfilm archives like this already have a bunch of information associated with them which is how the librarians know how to find the roll to begin with. Associating the exact same information with this new scan would be a minimum expectation. Which off the shelf software package, retail or FOSS, would you use to handle all of this? Once all of this is completed, how do you utilize the work that you have done so that it serves a purpose? What infrastructure does this require?

In your simplistic concept of drop in a new roll every time someone walks by, how is this getting accomplished?

This is going to sound maybe insensitive but I've noticed driving drunk is a cultural thing. I've been with certain groups of people and pretty much it seems everyone and their cousin has a DUI and no one regarded it as a major crime.

It sounds crazy but I bet if you were born 40 years earlier, you wouldn't care. Drunk driving wasn't even a thing until Mothers Against Drunk Driving made it a thing in the 80s.

I don't support drunk driving at all but it seems our views on right and wrong are just products of society, lol.

Wow, that's a large ROM. Even in their latest, 68030 based models, Atari never shipped a ROM bigger than I think 512kB (in the TT).

If you wanted the full multitasking modern version of the OS (MultiTOS), you loaded parts of it from disk. Or ran SysV Unix (or NetBSD or Linux, later).

Then again, binary sizes would be smaller on a CISC 68k machine I'd expect.
I wonder if this might apply to code as well. All these businesses using AI to write code might find out that they don't actually have any copyright.

I agree that Musk looks like an ass with Twitter but it's a heck of a coincidence that both Tesla and SpaceX were successful doing things nobody thought was possible.

While open-source would be great, in reality who is going to be verifying the binaries on every machine? Human readable paper ballots backed by audits are the gold standard.

That attack surface, compared to that of brew, npm, pip, gem, etc., is miniscule. And browser plugins don't yank in obscure dependencies at install time.

In 8 months? 8 months? Go to udemy and look up “writing” and look at the student counts for the pages of course results. People need time to get their balls rolling. Everyone is still wondering whether to try their schemes, the schemes are only ideas today. Give it a couple more years for everyone to start executing them. It only takes one person and a modest investment to write a million words with ai and spread it across 100 new websites. What about when there’s a million people doing that, trying to compete?
What right-associativity? The parentheses go like this:

[1, 2] >>= \x -> ([x, 10*x] >>= \y -> [x*y])

There is no associativity of >>=, any more than there's associativity of + in:

12 + 34*(56 + 7*8)

(Probably less, since + and * are distributive.)

Your collection crashing Kodi is one of those signals your behavior is far outside the norms, nearly technically infeasible given current system .

One idea that keeps me up at night is a collection that expires itself. It’s probably like an LRU cache for music, reflecting a life-cycle that’s self-contained.
>If I reproduce the likeness of Mickey Mouse via an AI, then because an AI made it, is there no defensible claim from Disney to own the copyright? That doesn't make intuitive sense, as we 'sort of know' that Disney owns the likeness.

Disney owns their own copyright in Mickey Mouse, it has nothing to do with them owning a copyright you claim. Copyright infringement is when you make a(n illegal) copy of something that was already copyrighted.

>But what if a bunch of artists were to band together to create a license of sorts for the use of an AI they altogether build?

They can license it all they want to, but they can't stop anyone from copying the work produced by the AI because there is no copyright in that work.

>defend their collective works in the same way that Disney can?

No, because the only people infringing would be themselves.
None of this is new. Audio recording, sound synthesis, digital mixing and composition either killing the music or not being real music. Cameras, 3D CGI, and Photoshop either killing visual arts or not being real art. And yet here we are, with new musical genres focused on sound rather than rhythm, two electronic revolutions in music, entire new fields of visual arts and entertainment.

This case differs in that it got amplified on Twitter, though.
