I believe only Mass and one other state have laws preventing extra charges for credit cards, and they are only targeted at larger companies. At least in MA, if you are a smaller company using a 3rd party payment processor/POS (like Toast), you are allowed to push the credit card fee they charge you onto the consumer.
This argument is lame.

If a Windows program is not a derivative of the Win32 libraries owned by Microsoft, what use does it serve once separated from the Microsoft libraries?

If an Android application is not a derivative of the Android OS owned by Google, what use does it then serve once separated from the Android base system?

If any C program that has ever been written (except those written for freestanding environments) is not a derivative of the C Standard Library, what use does it serve once separated from libc?

If your argument were right, with the exception of the very small number of programmers who write programs for bare-metal embedded systems, all the other programmers have written all their lives only derivative programs, so none of them (or of their employers) has any right to claim copyright ownership on what they have written.
I'm sure all those small businesses can just shrug off another half-percent. /sarcasm

I have been running into a lot of fee recovery by small businesses here in Ohio. The state parks definitely recover all fees from card payments.

Debit or credit card.
In the EU processing fees are capped at 0.05 + 0.2% Debt or 0.3% Credit. Somehow Visa and MC manage just fine.

Isn’t the complaint all along that nvidia is just wrapping their windows code in a shim layer?

So the answer is it’s still a library of functions that provides a substantial portion of a display-driver, even separated from the kernel. a windows driver module/library backend for such is at least as useful as any other code!
I'd posit that Windows 11 is malware.
> or people who depend on their Nvidia hardware to work under Linux, I understand they are pissed off, since it break their support for a non-technical reason.

They need to redirect their anger at the correct culprit -- Nvidia. The non-technical breakage is a result of Nvidia continuing to try to sneak around restrictions that they should have been abiding by. Nvidia could have spent the resources to get their drivers to compliance, but instead they chose to use them to try to circumvent the restrictions.
This is only going to have biased answers, because you would need to be passionate about ai content which is still a minority, to defend it. But there are a lot of uninformed people with opinions out there.

If you stopped calling it AI, and called these things what they really are, tools that predict tokens or pixels there would be a little less fear. Emphasis on tools, you wouldn't create law that didnt allow google search to exist. People think these function calls are thinking and anthropomorphizing them. You wouldn't make content from photoshop not copyrightable.
That's assuming your "serverless" runtime is actually the problem.
I'm not sure what the advantages of this would be for something like a renderer for instance. Would synchronization be easier this way?

You could flip the order and do a sequential read from the source with a random write to the destination. It sounds like this would still suffer from poor performance on the data mentioned in the article, but it is hard to feel like some kind of opportunity hasn't been missed with index permutation.

For example, using the permuted the index mod M rather than random draw in the first pass could avoid the whole issue of oversized piles and the extra wasted space per pile.
1. The local library at least paid for those books. Which is more than the creators of the current AI generation can say[1].

2. You can't train people exclusively on books. If you asked someone to explain a concept they learned in those books, sure that knowledge will help, but their response will also affected by every moment in their life so far. They're bringing other unique things to their response.

I think it is like photography. If an image is created by Dall-e then the copyright of that image should belong to the person that created the prompt and selected the output. Those are creative activities, much like pointing a camera and deciding which negatives to use going forward. Also, like photography, the equipment does not claim photography, be that cameras or background paper, etc.
> nearly impossible to disprove

lab leak is dead simple to disprove. all you have to do is find an animal that you can infect with covid and will spread it and you have your proof. many people have been spending a lot of money for years trying to do this and the longer they continue to fail the higher the probability of lab leak becomes.
People often forget that many dog breeds were bred for work - like alerting and defense.

If you have a 3 year old child crying in a restaurant, can you get mad at it? No. You can pat it on the back and take it outside to respect the space and other patrons, but you can’t get mad at a child for crying. Same analogy. Don’t get mad at nature doing nature things.

But that isn’t competition. If it were competition, then apple raising their price because of greed would be a boon to Spotify, because now Spotify can say “we’re cheaper than apple, be our customer!” Whether or not this meets the legal definition today isn’t relevant, when discussing potential legislation. This is suspect behavior, unless some underlying factor changed that affects the companies, this is 100% anti-competitive behavior.

As a consultant with 25 years of experience in enterprise software for sizable corporations and universities, I have observed numerous development shops. The number of individuals in corporate America who accomplish little throughout the day is astonishing.

> I'm not sure why it's supposed to matter.

This is major gaslighting by saying that.

Of course it matters. It affects the priorities and the costs. If there was indeed a lab leak that caused the pandemic, you can justify having far more oversight, and more safety precautions even at great expense, because you have evidence that failing to do so killed millions of people.

Also, this would call for greater scrutiny and regulation of organizations such as the Ecohealth Alliance that are providing funding for such labs.

In addition, saying it doesn't matter rewards a coverup.

If someone breaks your leg, saying you should eat more calcium and be careful walking down the steps, and it doesn't matter if someone actually hit your let with a tire iron, isn't that helpful.

It's actually not that long. I got a job at a law school teaching "Concepts of Computer Science" to 2nd-year law students.
You are right, "simulation" might narrow it unnecessarily, it could as well be a side effect of something entirely else. Going with "simulation" comes from humans running lots of simulations. Humanity has a $350 billion/year industry dedicated to making simulations for recreational use (aka video games), and then there's all the simulations we run for industry and research. And many simulations are simplified models of our world, with compressed time, space and sometimes fewer dimensions, and greatly simplified physics. So that's a natural starting point, but it's of course far from the only scenario.
Probability and likelihood are not the same
That's impressive as hell. The FDA is, by nature, a very conservative and slow-moving organization. They set a very high standard of evidence for anything that's actually called "medicine". (As opposed to supplements and devices that pretend not to make medical claims, in which they are largely hamstrung.)

It takes a ton of effort to get FDA approval. Navigating the process is expensive and aggravating.

As a developer targeting Edge is fine, there's not really any significant difference between building a page that supports it versus any other Chrome derivatives.

But as a user wow is it the most trashy and abusive program I routinely encounter. Start it for the first time and you're confronted with tabloid news and advertising. Sponsored links are mixed into your frequently visited sites by default. It injects itself into your online shopping and sends all your images and browser behavior to their servers for various weak justifications. You can turn it into a passable experience by scrolling through and configuring something in nearly every single settings tab, but then they just ignore you and inject new advertising sidebars or icons in a random update. Keeping it restricted to "just a browser" requires constant vigilance. It's clearly first and foremost just an advertising revenue funnel for Microsoft, which is completely pathetic of them. At least IE was mostly just a browser even if it did that pretty badly most years.
If you’ve got a release deadline, and a list of features that need to be ready by the deadline then you’ll end up doing waterfall.

If you have flexibility about when features can be released then you can do agile.

I wish the agile and scrum evangelists were honest about this.

The most agile company I ever worked for never talked about scrum or agile. We just asked customers what they wanted and integrated it into the product. When features were ready we released them. There was no roadmap or timetable. Sometimes customers would ask us when things will be ready, we always pushed back on giving dates.
It is said that the Nazis built their doctrine upon the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s.

While US soldiers aren't maneuvering here, we certainly are seeing how our equipment gets used as well as their weaknesses in practice. Chances are that when this is all done, Ukrainian commanders will participate in wargames to help share what they've learned with us as well.

It's best to keep an eye on the next war if at all possible. Ukraine very well is just a test run of what could happen in China vs Taiwan, and it's good to exercise USAs industrial might for this practice run.
The majority of people have no opinion on most issues. Politics is a fight between minority groups that try to sway or force the majority into supporting them.

Tacit collusion is legal only if they are no plus factors:

> Courts have held that no violation of the antitrust laws occurs where firms independently raise or lower prices, but that a violation can be shown when plus factors occur, such as firms being motivated to collude and taking actions against their own economic self-interests.

It is not as clear-cut you are making it seem and collusion even when tacit is highly anti-competitive.
Yeah, they totally would.
Not necessarily an answer, but an overview of the topics in the domain space of your question might include:

- DATA COLLECTION:
Allows Microsoft to collect user data for analytics, targeted advertising, and product improvement.

- REVENUE GENERATION:
Advertisements and search engine partnerships generate revenue for Microsoft.

- ECOSYSTEM INTEGRATION:
Encourages use of other Microsoft products, enhancing user experience.

- VENDOR LOCK-IN:
User familiarity discourages switching to competitors, ensuring long-term revenue.

- COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
Maintaining a popular browser aids in negotiation with third-party service providers.

- SOFTWARE CONTROL:
Allows Microsoft to guide software standards, impacting web development.

- USER EXPERIENCE:
Direct control over browser enhances customer support and troubleshooting.

My 11/yo has the same pump. Control IQ is great...but it takes a cautious approach to adjustments of insulin delivery given that it can only lower blood glucose levels and not raise them. Hopefully dual-hormone pumps will come out in the next few years and the algorithms can be more aggressive.

In the end, our 11 year old ignores his pump much of the time. We have a bunch of SugarPixels around the house, so if his sugar is way off we know and can address it ASAP.
I mean, I get the reference, but this amount of upscaling has a measurable cost in the real world, in this day and age (a small simulation from EC2's price calculator brings it from $40 to $80 a month if you go e.g. from t2.medium to t2.large).

I don't want to sound mean or unappreciative of jitsi developers' efforts, just highlighting that this kind of resource needs might put it out of reach of many potential users.
The problem I see most often is that WSL causes processor stalls in my other VMs, I'm not sure if it's intentional to force you to use WSL or the Hyper-V VM subsystem exclusively, if it is I can't see how it's a wise move.

Enabling Hyper-V also meant that virtualbox completely lost the ability to have a clock that ran properly - each VM was seeing the hardware timer out by 3 seconds every minute, and thus the only fix there was to run ntp every minute. vmware wasn't affected somehow.
True, but that's kind of a chicken-egg problem. If OSM were more popular the resulting influx of contributors and other resources would solve the data quality problem pretty quickly.

I think I’d support items 1 and 4.

1. Prisoners owe a debt to society, that’s certainly one way to repay it, provided it’s voluntary. Same reason I’d support voluntary prison labor.

4. You could argue being a sex worker is far more exploitive of women. I think it’s not our place to say they can’t do that, as long as it’s voluntary.
> If the punishment was "comply in 180 days or we'll suspend your business charter"

The punishment is generally "comply in 180 days [actually it's usually measured in years] or we'll fine you". And they often don't comply, and then get fined and sometimes end up complying.

Very sad to hear that they had to shut down but I am also not particularly surprised. The Shadow Tactics games were well made but also extremely niche. The lack of micro transactions made for a better game but also meant that there wasn’t much recurring income and they had to work while under the stress of knowing that if they make one bad game the entire studio would go bankrupt.

Best of luck to everyone at the studio, hopefully the bonus they are giving out is sizable enough that the workers won’t have to stress out about finding a new job too quickly, especially since this seems to be a pretty sudden announcement.
