I saw a discussion a few weeks back (not here) where someone was arguing that SD-created images should be legal, as no children would be harmed in their creation, and that it might prevent children from being harmed if permitted.

The strongest counter-argument used was that the existence of such safe images would give cover to those who continue to abuse children to make non-fake images.

Things kind of went to shit when I pointed out that you could include an "audit trail" in the exif data for the images, including seed numbers and other parameters and even the description of the model and training data itself, so that it would be provable that the image was fake. That software could even be written that would automatically test each image, so that those investigating could see immediately that they were provably fake.

I further pointed out that, from a purely legal basis, society could choose to permit only fake images with this intact audit trail, and that the penalties for losing or missing the audit trail could be identical to those for possessing non-fake images.

Unless there is some additional bizarre psychology going on, SD might have the potential to destroy demand for non-fake images, and protect children from harm. There is some evidence that the widespread availability of non-CSAM pornography has led to a reduction in the occurrence of rape since the 1970s.

Society might soon be in a position where it has to decide whether it is more important to protect children or to punish something it finds very icky, when just a few years ago these two goals overlapped nearly perfectly.
A maintainer can't approve a patch that wasn't properly signed off, that's one of the very few rules set for patch submission that has nothing to do with the code but everything to do with the legal implications of including code that isn't properly attributed and an essential part in keeping the Linux kernel unencumbered.

This is not some rubberstamp formality, it is an actual declaration of authorship and shields the kernel maintainers from possible claims of copyright infringement.
> They also learned that anything that causes discontinuity in the airplane’s shape—for instance a windshield or canopy—can add to the boom effect. This led them to get rid of the windshield altogether. Instead, the X-59 uses an external vision system, which is the only advanced technology in the plane, according to Richardson. The pilot navigates using a camera, viewing the outside through a large display. This system had to undergo rigorous certification by the Federal Aviation Administration for use in the national airspace.

That's interesting, piloting via external camera + display vs. windshield.
Well, if adding a microsoft account would have worked, then they would have succeeded into convincing you to use one. Most people just give in, before they use linux.
As a committed number pad user for years, the solution you've used (and that I have used) has done away with my need for a discreet number pad altogether. I have one layer that turns the right side into a number pad, and another layer that turns it into a VIM cursor control pad. After all these years of typing on an Ergodox in this way and dreaming of a separate number pad, it turns out I had what I wanted all along and can't leave it now.

I don’t know why the author wants to talk smack on Theon and Hypatia. Gatekeeping mathematics?

1. Theon added theorems to Euclid— by publishing mathematical novelties, he became more than just an editor. [1]

2. Theon’s version of Euclid has been considered the most important textbook ever published. [2]

3. Euclid himself created the elements by compiling theorems from prior mathematicians. So, was Euclid just a textbook editor? [2]

4. Who was a better mathematician in that century? Was Theon top 5? Isn’t that first rate or formidable?

Now, as for Hypatia, one of her biggest critics (Damascius) admitted that her “wisdom exceeding all bounds and especially in the things concerning astronomy,” but suggested that she was more of a mathematician than a true philosopher [3]. Her student Synesius wrote many letters to her, which survive [4]. Hypatia, on the other hand, was dragged to death by a Christian mob. SHWEP.net (my fave podcast) just did some episodes [5].

Conformity is not the most important virtue. I’ve been a weirdo my entire life, and if people are judgmental about me, that’s their failing, not mine. I bet most people on the spectrum know what I’m talking about.
> especially at the “derivative” style of most popular media

This is what I see as the problem. Hollywood needs to stop relying so heavily on derivative goop and give actual creatives more leeway in creating something original.

You can only ride old IPs for so long before people lose interest and stop buying tickets, as Hollywood has been learning recently. You need people coming up with fresh novel ideas if you ever want to come up with the next big thing.

Some executive asking Chat-GPT to spit out a new Marvel movie script isn't going to do that.
Have you tried running

systemd-analyze

And then

systemd-analyze critical-chain

To see what is slowing it down?

My system takes 10 seconds to boot apparently, with fairly minimal tuning (I boot from a USB drive so I try not to worry too much about this, hah!). But I don’t use a desktop environment or any of that sort of stuff, so it is probably not a good comparison.

Still, 45 seconds is pretty slow, I wonder if it is waiting for something that idles out; network interfaces or something like that.

Sure, it doesn't mean they're infallible. But it very well could mean they are just brighter than I am, potentially by a long shot.

> Especially in a society where the most accomplished are often simply the most ruthless

This is a popular take at the moment, and probably somewhat true, but there really are people out there who are just better at things than I am. For whatever reason, they have demonstrated much greater capabilities than I have. And I feel like I should avoid writing off their opinions simply because they don't line up with what I think is popular consensus.

Of course I shouldn't buy into some point of view just because someone influential thinks it. But I can hold space in my head for keeping track of what the various schools of thought are around a topic, and not picking a winner until I have to.
This is why you move to somewhere without the whole culture war bullshit in the local lexicon. Like the "liberal hellhole of california," a statement that serves as a great filter towards a lot of ignorant people spending much time around you there. Not a sure thing you won't see these folk, just that they've been relegated into de facto containment zones in the more rural parts of the state.
This feels like the corporate regurgitation of character.ai. I'm pretty curious what the contracts/paydays look like for the licensed personalities.
Nah, I do that too. I’m a “backstage” kind of guy, including literal backstages.

For example, the only video of mine ever put on YouTube isn’t on my account, someone asked if they could post it. It got 10k views, I feel like that’s pretty good just for a little messing around, but I’m still glad it’s not tied to me.
And the maintainers reply already includes the proposed patch, with:

> Reported-by: Ariel Miculas <...>

Ariel could just have pressed "reply" in his email client and pointed this out if he felt wronged.

But no, instead he is writing a blog post one year later misrepresenting the maintainer and the Linux project.
Similar to the difference in grass fed vs corn fed beef, I imagine.
You are right KomoD, "https:testhello" passes the validation.

The app is in ruby, I am using "URI::DEFAULT_PARSER.make_regexp(%w[http https])" for generating the regex validation, which generates this monstrosity: https://gist.github.com/ceritium/08b34277fd252a2fa7db1f16bec...

I didn't mind being pretty strict regarding the URL validation; I don't even care too much about the fact of allowing "https:testhello", but I don't like that Chrome, Safari, and maybe others are opening <a href="https:testhello"> link </a> as "https://keepthis.site/https:testhello" but Firefox opens it as a new URL without "https://keepthis.site" which is the behavior I would expect.

I am going to re-implement the validation with simpler rules. Many thanks for your feedback.
Besides the fact that he didn't actually say that at all.
The quest controllers have always had some vibration, which is key to many experiences (and why I'm not taking Apple's offering seriously). Maybe they upped what the controllers can express?
It is hard for some people to grasp the sheer amount of fraud in this industry. A while back I worked with two guys, one with a Master's and the other with a PhD. One day they came to me asking for help, because the program they'd written (in Python) wouldn't run. It was supposed to analyze some text, and spit out whatever the result of the analysis was.

The problem? They were passing the input text as hardcoded plaintext, i.e. it wasn't even a string with quotes or anything -- just `foo(here is my raw, non-string input, no quotes necessary lol)`, and they could not conceive of what the issue might be.
they don't seem super similar to me:

Snapdragon vs M2
Vision Pro's resolution seems about 80% higher than the quest 3. To me, this is the most important factor to me in making augmented reality work.
The fact that it's hosted there doesn't mean that your unhelpful attitude is their fault.
Thanx :)

We are working a lot on improving productivity of a developer. The current code generator is just a start and we have a ton of new stuff in development. And yes, for someone who had spend years writing RoR apps such as myself, the inspiration for much of this is quite clear :)

Interesting. You see the inclusion of controllers as a bad thing?
Quest 2 works standalone with games made for it, or connected to PC and can use the Oculus store library as well as the Steam VR library. This makes it the most flexible VR headset on the market atm.

Don't know about Quest 3, but probably the same.
> almost no one is actually in a position where semantic equivalence is major source of issues for them

Well, they don't necessarily know if it is or not...

When you're dealing with safety-critical software (DO-178, etc) where the cost of verification and validation can be easily 100x - 1000x the cost of writing the code, having traceability from C code to machine code be correct by proof instead of a manual process can be a lifesaver. Are a significant number of bugs actually excluded this way? That basically comes down to how much the defect rate has been reduced at the C code level by other activities, to determine significance.

It's hard for me to imagine working on DAL B or DAL A code and not at least seriously considering use CompCert just to reduce the scope of necessary verification activities a bit.
It’s certainly not productivity.
It's also not premium looking / really ugly compared to the vision Pro, looks like a really nerdy toy that isolates you from reality even more than usual tech, which is something us tech people maybe don't value enough, but which Apple knows is very important for mass appeal (see, phones, computers), & is an obstacle for adoption.

There's a reason why Apple put a screen with eyes and the associated cameras inside, it's to make it look less stupid. That's really important for mass adoption.

IPv6 Router Advertisement: Why is it enabled by default on some network vendors?
No, this is genuinely a useful technology. Blind people are getting a ton of value out of it. It's way faster than humans, you can do it quietly without bothering anyone, and honestly it's better at describing some things than 90% of humans are.

There are a lot of things that are just tech demos. This is far more than that.
As a straight person I also think it’s strange. I’ve had mixed gender friends my whole life and I’ve never had an issue.
Examples appreciated - and please keep in mind the "large" part. Yes, you can occasionally find a few individuals being in a fortunate enough position that they can work independent of the outside world on a small/medium project, but I'm not aware of any large projects where that is the case.

I'd love to be wrong about that.
I appreciate the motivation of consolidating comments on a story.

But... no the discussion isn't over there. There's only 4 comments on that submission, and none of them are about the new ruling. What are you talking about?

And from your other comment: > wanna keep it on the front page? keep upvoting the first post of it. Either way, we don't need ten threads of discussion.

That post already died, it takes a new one to be on the front page now. The post we're on is the only current discussion, and it's the only one on or near the front page.
I think the importance of the "making" part greatly depends on how long it's been since the making happened. The more time that elapsed, the less important it is, and the more important the child's existing bond to their (assumed) father is. If I suddenly found out my 10 year old didn't happen to biologically come from me, it's not like I'd love her any less. What kind of monster says "Oh, so the kid's not 'biologically mine', I'm going to stop loving them!"

I'd have words with mom, though, obviously...
What's "it"? Quest 3 isn't on that list.

But comparing the Vive XR to the specs in the announcement, the Quest 3 has a higher resolution, same FOV, same refresh rate (experimental sorry for higher refresh rate) at half the price but double the weight.
>if students stop learning about how video games work at any lower level than "just use an off-the-shelf general-purpose game engine", then who's going to make game engines going forward?

could this be a specialization or "minor", perhaps?

IDK, it's tough. I want more students to be learning this stuff while in a proper environment, but the reality is that so much of the real tricks and sauce are either a) buried deep, deep inside some "public" repos, or more likely b) tribal knowledge at a AAA studio. Maybe Digipen is different as a gaming focused school, but I never learned about ECS or object pooling or profiler usage or especially cache coherency in college. And I'd struggle grouping all these important engine concepts into a course since the knowledge is simultaneously disparate but related. each topic could be its own thesis if you wanted them to be.

>what happens to their former students now that Unity's in the situation it's in? do they feel cheated, like the only way that they know how to make games, the way they were taught, has now been somewhat invalidated?

custom engine or not, I do adamantly feel like a proper game dev program should teach enough CS chops for this to not be a problem. using a high level engine is useful, but the rest falls on fundamentals. Data structures and algotithms to know what to use to group data together and the tradeoffs, systems level programming to understand memory management (yes, even in Unity. Intuiting the cost of allocating and deleting game objects only helps. Any one of mulitple of various domains (network, graphics, databases, UI) to get different perspectives on how data can be structured and processed, etc.
Declaring '-Wall -Wextra -Werror' on the compiler command line isn't exactly "jumping through hoops" though.

This should be the default of course, but this will just bring out the pitch forks because people have different opinions (for instance this innocent unused-variable-error in Go is currently by far the most controversial feature in Zig).
Even without all those, suppose Washington Post publishes a big exclusive story, there are going to be many websites that paraphrase the article and likely link to it, many of which don't block GPT bot. Even without the exact words, with multiple sources GPT should be able to easily figure out the original story. I don't see blocking helpful in such cases.
You’re basically comparing despots though.

One would think that the issues you highlight would be less pronounced in large cities, and progressive locations. If target was closing stores in small cities you've never heard of then you may have been on to something.
Got a 2 on accident, an aunt was dazzled by ideas of exercising and meditating and was wildly underwhelmed by the actual experience, and gifted it to my family.

Kind of fun to have around very occasionally, but I'm still seeing nothing to indicate anything more than "overpriced, non-essential toy." Would never pay good money for one.

(and this is from a household where the Steam Deck is absolutely an essential toy.)*

*edit, come to think of it -- said aunt has logged more hours on my Steam Deck even though we don't live together, thanks to the Jackbox series. I feel like there's a lot of good anecdata here :)
No - car dependency isn’t a problem in rural areas, it’s a problem in metro areas. Places like Columbus, Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, San Diego, etc. are all completely 100% reliant on cars for transit.

People already live in the cities, there isn’t anything to convince them of for that. Instead we have to build transit that allows people to not rely on a car for their daily needs. Not that you can’t have one, of course. But walking, biking, and rail infrastructure need much, much more funding and then we can reduce how we handicap society with car-only transit.
Could be? If Quest 3 can deliver a nausea free experience then it may hit the same use cases as the Vision Pro. The controllers are also extremely precise, so Apple would need to pull off a nice trick to get hand tracking to that same level.

I will share my experience with keyboards. Maybe someone of you will find it useful.

I was thinking about ergodox when I wanted to 'open' my rib cage/chest but I was afraid of uncomfortable position of thumb section so I chosen Redox wireless. I was not able to think about using standard keyboard again (but I had to used to it for some time - it's like juggling at the beginning - you have to 'split' your hands). Not split keyboard started to be strange to use because of strange position of hands but Redox was still quite big to carry around with laptop (but QMK and layers are great).

Then I found Ferris Sweep which I created by myself (I had to learn how to solder after 20 years of not touching soldering iron but I was able to create working keyboard in 4h doing it first time). It's another huge jump for me. Now when I switch to build in keyboard I feel how much I have to move my fingers.

ZMK is also good. My ferris is connected with bluetooth so I can easily use it with multiple devices (and phones) in the same time (like two laptops because switching is very quick).

When I travel I can put my split keyboard on the sides of the macbook and use touchpad in the middle. It's similar how I use it at home but I use magic trackpad in the middle. I use Kailh Low Profile Choc Pink Pro Switches instead of Cherry MX Brown which I had in Redox and I just bottom them on writing (instead of using tactile effect). Keyboard is really small.

The next step some day will be probably something like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKfeJrRIcxw&t=1s where you can adjust keys to your palm. I can image that it can be helpful for people with some disabilities or rheumatoid arthritis.
