I just don't understand what your intended point is. You're mentioning that there's an unrelated attribute about movies, but "objective"... Then you're surprised when people quibble with said attribute's utility.

RT & MC, although flawed, are superior metrics for watchability of a movie to box office totals. The existence of another, less useful metric (which isn't free from biases or opportunities for manipulation) has no probative value on whether one should use RT.

And, then, you mock others and break the site guidelines in the cousin thread.

Slightly related. But I've seen documentaries from other remote countries, where children use the same sounds when mocking people. Not the same words, but kinda the same melody. Is it kinda universal, or was it just chance?

I feel like if I heard children speak in a foreign language, I wouldn't be able to understand if they made fun of someone in a way that need no cultural context, somehow.
A while ago I was surprised to learn that MS Internet Explorer had team of about 10 developers (I expected more) when MS already had more than 50000 employees total. Now knowing a bit more how sausages are made I would not be surprised to learn that this particular image decoder was maintained in Apple by a couple developers. To some extent this can be seen in corporations too: https://xkcd.com/2347/
I suspect this was the goal of some of the people inside the company but imposing some nominal terms on it was the price of getting it through the bureaucracy, or maybe required by some agreement related to some mostly irrelevant but actually present subset of the original model.

Then the inevitable occurred and made it obvious that the restrictions were both impractical to enforce and counterproductive, so they released a new one with less of them.

The defense of “you shouldn’t change anything about my beloved series” is pretty flimsy.

If you don’t change anything, then what’s the point of watching/reading/playing the same thing over and over? Doesn’t any series just get incredibly boring without variation?

Great literature, TV, and films say things. Sometimes you might not agree. But at least it makes you think. Ideally, each entry in a series should say different or evolving things. Just look at how The Wire explores different aspects of Baltimore’s crime epidemic in each season as an example.

And I’m not saying Captain Marvel is great or even good by the way. I thought it was just another boring superhero move, and a D or F tier at that. Same goes for a lot of your other examples.

But I do think even beloved series have to have room for adaptation and experimentation. Because otherwise, they stagnate and can get to a point where they’re no longer worth watching.

Just look at Mission Impossible for example. Each film is well made and has fun action. But do we really ever need another one? Doesn’t essentially the same thing happen every time? Isn’t Ethan Hunt always going to save the day and risk everything for his friends and the mission?

How many exploits has iMessage had now?

Isn't it time we made first messages from all new contacts plain text only, and all other messages some very restricted subset rather than some crazy extensible system that isn't so different from ActiveX?

And on top of that, maybe the whole app should run in a sandbox.

And on top of that, perhaps it should all be a webview to give one more layer of protection.

> It would maybe increase the production cost by what, 5 dollars?

If this rule passes, owners would need to replace their CO chemical sensor every 5-7 years, and it's likely that the manufacturers will charge more than $5 to ship the part. If I were making generators, I would encourage the CSPC to adopt the rule in order to create an ongoing "printer ink" style revenue stream.

Alternatively, they could just declare the generator EoL with no replacement sensor, so owners have to buy a new one after 7 years. They're saving lives and printing money, what's not to love?

Apple has annual revenue greater than the GDP of any of the bottom ~4/5 of nation-states.
I feel the need to point out that the issue is usually the opposite. Looking at 2023 only three wide release films have had a discrepancy where the critics were more than 20% higher than the verified audience score (Infinity Pool, You Hurt My Feelings, and Skinamarink if you were curious).

There are far more where the verified audience score is way higher and they tend to either be religious films or films with very low numbers of audience reviews (aka selection bias)

And fair point that SUVs aren't automatically enormous, nor automatically super harmful, except in how deadly their genre-defining high stance is to pedestrians and children.

It just seems super wasteful to me the number of vehicle-miles that are driven in the suburbs by enormous and medium-sized ("Tall Hatchback Camry") SUVs with a single driver carrying a couple bags of groceries. Most of the time, most commuters and even people with up to 2 small children ought to be perfectly fine driving a 4-door compact, which is substantially more fuel-efficient and lighter than even the midsize SUVs. But the incentives don't exist to make people consider that. They figure, "Oh well, I'll spend $25 extra on gas each month but it's worth it so that I can transport lumber once a year."
Assuming the grand parent comment is true to their word and they don’t mean it disparagingly, I think we can easily see what they mean.

After a quick glance here’s what’s being offered in this program:
- 1 year free of apple dev program (laughably little time in my view btw)
- seemingly 1 on 1 support with experienced devs to help you build your first app(s)

Yes, it’s good that being provided for underrepresented devs. But also, and I think this is what GP comment is asking, why isn’t this offered in a larger capacity?

As someone who paid Apple 400$ just to keep my dev license so people around the world could download my free apps while I was super poor in college.. I kinda feel where this person is coming from.

They didn't specify micro-b just that the phonemakers should settle on a port (which is partially why they didn't mandate it, the hope was that the industry would figure itself out but it didn't).

> Crewed spaceflight is no worse and no different than spending money on Hubble, JWST, or the Voyager missions. We pay for those missions because they inspire us.

That's true only in a very strained and tautological sense of "inspire".

Science has quantifiable results. There are facts that we know and theories we've understood (and discarded!) because of telescopes and probes that we would not know had they not flown. Whether that knowledge has value or not is, I guess, subjective. But it's not only "inspiration" except insofar as you declare that the only reason for wanting to know about martian geology or the early universe or whatever is "because it inspires us". Which is to say: you're making a semantic argument, not a profound one.

> you know collages are legal right

Only if it’s sufficiently transformative. There was recently a case that hit the US Supreme Court about this subject regarding an Andy Warhol adaptation of a portrait of Prince [1]. So, in the US, fair use in this regard requires some amount of substantive transformation of the material. But, as we are talking about AI algorithms, there isn’t a person in between the model and the training data. The argument here is whether or not a person is required to make a transformative use of the material (and thus fair use applies). Given that AI generated (and non-human animal generated) works aren’t copyrightable due to the lack of human involvement, I’d wager that any AI use of copyrighted material won’t get fair use protections.

I don't want to get into a long drown out fight about Star Wars on HN so I'll ignore most of your points, but this complaint has always really bothered me because it shows such a huge lack of human empathy. A real person died, a person that was one of the 4 or 5 most important people to the success of Star Wars. And it has become the standard opinion of her "fans" that her last performance should have been largely thrown away to slightly improve the overall narrative arc of the movies. It really puts into perspective what fans care about. It is all about the product on the screen. Anyone involved in making the product is meaningless. Their only significance is in their role of servicing the product.

I'm glad they didn't re-edit the movie after Carrie Fisher's death even if it created new challenges for the next movie.

At which point the new underdogs would have an interest in doing to them what they're doing to OpenAI.

Assuming progress for LLMs continues at a rapid pace for an extended period of time. It's not implausible that they'll get to a certain level past which non-trivial progress is hard, and if there is an open source model at that level there isn't going to be a moat.

I don't really get this idea that companies can be so vastly competitent and incompetent at the same time. People make new products, if they make something that people want, it gets noticed. Eventually those with a lot of money come along and try to figure out how/if they can also make money on the same thing. It's not some vast conspiracy.

> I mean, the response here was a blog post, which doesn't feel particularly upplayed.

I wasn't criticizing the blog post, I was responding to a comment in this thread that claimed that for some strange reason the danger of NK is systemically underplayed by the media.

I argue that no, the media more typically overplays it, much like it overplays the threat from other non-peer nations. I'm assuming you don't feel like the news is telling you that Iran is a threat either... Which would put you in an informed minority.
Sounds like you’re guessing while assuming negative intent. Is there any practical way to attach your assumptions to cold, hard, touch-grass reality? If not, why make these comments?

Adding something in rust into a browser means you now need to bundle all of the needed crates and that your browser now also needs rustc to build… at a minimum.

It seems to me that the more a culture leans toward guess, the better.

> there doesn't seem to be any particular goal there beyond "send people into space because we want to send people into space."

No, we are figuring out - how do you survive in space? How do you take a shit in space? Toilets would constantly break on ISS and it was a huge problem.

And people can get shit done. They are designing robots for mining lunar regolith, but they are all less efficient than a guy with a shovel. You could send 10 dudes to the moon with a shovel and a 3D printer, and they could produce aluminium parts on the moon.
It does! The take-off temperature is a very big concern, how much chilling of the rocket needs to happen etc. The ground support equipment I gather is also complex, although I think storage and transport of all those sorts of fuels around tank farms is much more of a solved problem, I suspect you could buy much of it off the shelf (not that NASA would, but SpaceX seem to be buying regular commercial equipment for theirs).
If a codebase was infringing the GPL, the remedy is to publish the offending source code or terminate distribution. Neither are cases I suspect Microsoft cares about when talking about 3rd party code.

I don't know what case history is like for damages with open source projects, but I suspect it wouldn't be that big of a concern for Microsoft.

Otherwise stated, Microsoft's downside to this is committing their lawyers. And the upside is to improve their code generation tools.

IANAL though.

Ask HN: Is it legal/ethical trying to replicate an Udacity's autograder?
Fellows,

One of the training courses I really enjoyed the most is one related to Mathematics, provided by Udacity some years ago.

I've noticed people are unable to enroll anymore to these courses, e.g.
https://www.udacity.com/course/ma006

The training material is still available at YouTube (Published by Udacity):
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAwxTw4SYaPlSLRIPSeloeFkkwEnnl6d4

In my opinion, receiving immediate feedback about how you did over an exercise/problem is of tremendous help while learning.

So I proposed myself to replicate the auto grader for the exercises related to the aforementioned Algebra course by means of a web application, embedding the video and showing the related questions, like it used to be when the course was alive. Still, I don't want to get into trouble, since I acknowledge the content is intellectual property.

Is it legal/ethical embarking in such a task?

Thanks!

The problem with Bash is to do anything remotely sophisticated you end up embedding DSLs (a bit of awk, some sed, a sprinkle of jq, and so on and so forth) into something that is itself already a DSL (ie Bash).

Whereas a few more modern shells have awk, sed and jq capabilities baked into the shell language itself. So you don’t need to mentally jump hoops every time you need to parse a different type of structured data.

It’s a bit like how you wouldn’t run an embedded Javascript or Perl engine inside your C#, Java or Go code base just to parse a JSON file. Instead you’d use your languages native JSON parsing tools and control structures to query that JSON file.

Likewise, the only reason jq exists is because Bash is useless and parsing anything beyond lists of bytes. If Bash supported JSON natively, like Powershell does (and to be clear, I’m not a fan of Powershell but for whole different reasons) then there would be literally no need for jq.
Maybe that’s true, it probably is, but they should still be sanctioned into oblivion considering they consistently are in the headlines on the wrong end of this being used for deeply questionable purposes.
