> At this day and age, few people care about it. And ATSC "legacy" will continue to work so you can still watch your local news (or Days of Our Lives I guess)

It will it until it doesn't. My market currently has two physical channels for ATSC 3.0, and the rest are ATSC 1.0. If there's adoption (or a mandate), I can imagine the ratio flipping. If you like you programming at low bitrates, you'll be fine as they compress everything down, but there's a lot of potential for better video on ATSC 3, if users and broadcasters switch.

Otoh, using a poorly supported, non-free audio codec makes things unusable for me.
Misleading article. Telegram didn't partner with Tencent, TON did, and they are not related.
Oh good, someone who's sane! This is a great comment.

Only thing I'd quibble is the free market part -- US wants free market when US firms dominate (and will make a moral claim about it), but when US firms are losing (to Huawei on phones and routers; Tiktok on social media; BYD on electric cars), the US pivots to fiercely protectionist. Free market is no longer a "human right", "moral obligation", "essential for democracy and freedom" etc.
of course. but i would differentiate between "writing a new database engine" and "designing a database to be implemented using an existing engine (e.g. oracle)"
I don't think most people would disagree with that. If you want to build a database, for curiosity, or to solve a particular problem, or just because it seems fun, go ahead. But know that making a real production database tends to be harder than it looks, and so tends to be all-consuming, and a team that depends on a custom database tends to become a database team rather than an anything else team. That could be the right thing - after all building databases as an explicit goal has lead to a lot of very good businesses - but you need to go into it with your eyes open. Building a production-quality database is a long road.

The same is true of some other areas, like durable storage systems, filesystems, and compute isolation/virtualization systems. In all these cases going from zero to "undergrad quality demo" is doable in a couple days. Going from demo to running something in production is vastly harder and more expensive and requires a completely different mind set. Building the "undergrad quality demo" is a great exercise I'd recommend to anybody curious about these areas. The road to production, however, is a tougher one.

Source: I build and maintain databases for a living at AWS. One of my previous side projects (https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi20/presentation/brooke...) turned out to be bigger than expected and has a whole team dedicated to it. That one (Physalia) is even quite far from being a general database (for example it doesn't support SQL or cross-shard transactions).

The Segway has redundant control circuitry, motor windings, and battery. If there is a failure of any of these I believe it will fault and perform a controlled stop.
> they could effectively ignore their customers, and focus instead on entirely exploiting them

Google's users are not customers. Google is exploiting their users precisely because they are not customers, so their only value to Google is as a resource for maximizing their profits due to ads. Which actually makes them worse than, say, cigarette manufacturers, since at least their users were their customers, choosing to purchase a product.

One of the reasons the Segway was so expensive is they built it like medical devices, with tons of redundancies in its systems for this exact reason. So if one computer glitched out it wouldn’t just chuck its passenger head over heels.

As we know, once hoverboards got really popular the cheap ones (perhaps most?) were NOT built that way. I saw someone nearly faceplant when theirs ran out of battery and stopped on a dime.

My grandma was born in the 1920s. Hers very much was the old-school electroshock therapy.
Back in the 1990s I worked at a financial services company, all our back-office code used key/value (index files) storage. I don't remember ever doing any kind of explicit record locking for updates, it was always just "last write wins" and we never seemed to have much of an issue with it. It was early in my career so there was a big component of not knowing what I didn't know at that time.

You're reading too much into my nitpick, I'm not suggesting that this distinction is relevant to environmental policy. Obviously waste runoff from mines/etc is a serious issue which warrants environmental regulation.

More relevant to the sokoloff's point is the fact that extraction of lead was not done for the sake of plumbing, it began thousands of years before lead pipes were invented. There wasn't a point where people were weighing the harm of extracting lead against the utility of plumbing; the lead was essentially a waste product of the silver industry.

It sucks that you can't pay more for a version that isn't the hostel backpacker equivalent of an operating system.

> The point of antitrust isn't so much to punish bad people as to make for efficient markets.

That's the story those who favor antitrust want you to believe, but it's not true. Antitrust actions historically have made markets less efficient, not more. A classic case is the breakup of Alcoa aluminum, whose "offense" was to supply aluminum to its customers at lower prices and larger quantities than any of its competitors. The breakup both raised prices and reduced quantities, making things worse for customers.

> Under mainstream economic theory, Google ought to be regulated.

Even leaving aside the concerns above, Google is not a monopoly in the sense of antitrust law. The real economic problem with Google is that its users are not its customers; users are just a resource to be exploited to maximize profits due to ads. If the government were to do anything to "fix" this, the obvious thing would be to outlaw that business model.
The difference is that people choose Google. You can go to any website you want to.

Just like the asinine browser choice in the EU made absolutely no difference in the market share between browsers.

I don't think it's accurate to say that users are only a capital resource. The users are still customers for Google, even if they are not explicitly paying out of their own wallets for the service -- they are free to walk away at any time. Google has to keep both the users and the advertisers 'happy enough' if they want to succeed. The article highlights that the bar to keep the users 'happy enough' is fairly low.

As a single Dad of two elementary aged children, I'm now used to getting the weird glances from other parents on the playground, when I'm either sitting on a swing/bench keeping tabs of them ripping around a playground or in fact playing with them on the playground itself.

On a similar note, in a VERY small town, one isn't able to just go into the school office to talk to the secretary, you likely have to be "buzzed in", and or have the chat via intercom system. It isn't welcoming, and feels more like a prison, honestly.

Again, this is in a very small town,bin a very unpopulated state.

Living in Europe (but not in the UK), I have similar nostalgic feelings for the UK magazine Personal Computer World (PCW). The library in the tiny town (5k people) where I grew up somehow had a subscription for PCW in the 80s and 90s. Every month there was a new treasure trove to read. I read it so hard from like 1986 and onwards. (I kind of learned English by reading PCW.)

It's pretty obvious that PCW was modelled after Byte.

> It’s not just the layers of secrecy and professional lying that’s required

Absolutely not. Many companies do layoffs transparently, with notice, even so far as to offer voluntary severance, and they all do just fine. Some execs seem to live with this paranoia that when people get laid off, they turn into dangerous werewolves with the singular focus of sabotaging the company and running it aground, and hence must be curtailed. It's a categorical failure of leadership to show such distrust and disdain towards your employees.
> You think they should not be able to regulate monopolies?

Exactly. When the government has done this, it has made things worse, not better. See my reference to Alcoa Aluminum upthread, for example.

> The free market only works with regulation

A free market even with no government regulation still is regulated: it's regulated by the voluntary choices of all the market participants. In a free market, nobody can be forced to trade with anybody else; so if you want to make money, you have to offer something other people want and will voluntarily pay you for.

CSS actually already accounts for that with it's "inline" and "block" axes. Where inline is the axis along which text flows first (horizontal by default for latin text - although this can be overiden with the writing-mode property), and block is the other axis.

Clip-based workflow was facilitated by technology progress (e.g., Moore's law) which unlocks new design space (similar pattern to why Lightroom was "invented" so long after Photoshop). I.e., doing things real-time or non-destructively as computers get faster is really common, so that happens then the design space gets exhausted again. The key point being this happens quickly once the new approaches are possible.

> There are guides on the darknet that teach you how to fine-tune on CSAM and model weights can be found quite easily.

There are guides on the regular net that teach you how to fine tune on anything, and there is nothing at all that would need to be added or altered in those instructions for fine tuning on CSAM material. I'll take your word for the results of your searches of the darknet for CSAM model weights; I've never done that, as I have no need for CSAM model weights or, really, any other reason to explore the dark net.

> You need to fine tune generative models on actual CSAM to get the most realistic looking images.

I’m not going to spend time trying to create simulated CSAM images to test this, but my experience with using Stable Diffusion in oother contexts says that’s probably not true, though its probably (ignoring the issue of sourcing training imagery) the obvious and straightforward way. But the ability of models to generalize and combine concepts means you don’t generally don’t need to fine tune on the specific combination of concepts you are generating images of. A general purpose model can often produce photorealistic representations of concepts its not trained on when conditioned with a LoRa trained purely on, say, anime representations of the concept.

> The prosecutors noted how lifelike and realistic the images were

Nothing in those articles refers to the darknet, CSAM-specific models, or fine tuning on CSAM imagery. It just says the guy was arrested for using an AI generator to produce imagery that resembled CSAM imagery that was never distributed, under a legal framework which had also allowed that for sexually explicit animations of fantasy subjects that resemble adolescents, and that the prosecuting authorities claim that the imagery was particularly lifelike. As support for your claim of requiring actual CSAM to fine tune to produce realistic CSAM-resembling imagery, it is perfectly circular, resting entirely for its essential premise on the conclusion it is offered to support.

> You can’t do that without fine-tuning on actual images of children.

Not all actual images of children are CSAM, and most models are trained on actual (non-CSAM) images of children to start with. Heck, there are common recommendations for prompt patterns to steer clear of generation with SD1.x-derived models (which probably apply to other models, excluding the ones that are so aggressively self-censored as to make it difficult to even intentionally produce nude imagery of adults, like the SD2.x base models) to avoid producing conditions in which models may combine concepts to produce CSAM-resembling images without user intent. [0]

[0] common ones including avoid “young”, “girl”, or “boy” (the latter outside of the established pattern on which many models are trained of using 1girl/1boy/2girls/etc. to identify number and gender of subjects without regard to age) with prompt terms calling for or leaning toward nudity, sexualized clothing or appearance, poses or other compositional features which would take on an inappropriate character with children involved, and, a fortiori, explicit sexual concepts.
I meant conservative as opposed to classical liberalism, the latter ideology generally shunning social policies.
