> I'd take a sticky note of someones thoughts on a book compared to 10,000 reviews on GoodReads.

I second that. It only took a month in to my first book club to realize that the main reason I was coming back wasn't because "so and so book is so interesting" but because I loved hearing others' thoughts on the book. We could read a cook-book for all I care; it's chewing on thoughts and issues in person that matter.

Wish I hadn't waited till my late 20's to get involved with a book club.

>while the terminology is still awful, I think this was an insightful attempt toward trying to frame the issue as exported propaganda by foreign actors

thank you. i need to be more diplomatic, but i don't like having my patriotism questioned when i haven't left the country since the obama administration and i have to admit, i went to a dark place after feeling like my advice was repeatedly ignored in parallel with my integrity being questioned.

but... yeah... i DO need to joke less.

> "glaring flaw: you can’t register a Passkey you don’t physically have."

I have Yubikeys and find this frustrating.

Is there not a technical solution that should've happened by now, or is it not as simple as I'm imagining: can't hardware passkeys have a way to export whatever it is that's needed for services to register them (public key/s?) such that if you have 4 keys you can export 4 files to your PC and and time you create an online account just provide all four files at the same time to be registered?

I guess maybe it's not as simple as being a public key that can be registered without the key being around, some sort of active challenge/response needed as part of registration? Or is my imagined solution above completely workable and just overlooked so far?
systemd units are fine. It's even pretty close to the recommendations for podman.

You can use something like Ansible to make it a bit easier, if that even makes sense in your use case.
I don't know how people feel about point-free these days. It was cool at first, then hated quite a lot due to issues I forgot (maybe a case or write-only code practice), but I find there's a high technical value and poetry to craft terms that plug together well with near no linking/binding declaration.

Why should it be? The V30 came out in 2017 and people made exactly the same videos about it, about how you could intermingle the footage with an Alexa or a RED. You can, yes, only in perfect light and if the focal/aperture works for the scene. That's rare, and that's why it hasn't caught on.
I'm very curious to see your setup and maybe a demo. Do you have a git repo I can look through?

Absolutism isn't the point. We all know that there are limits - the classic example of yelling fire in a crowed theater. And as somebody below pointed out, no country has full freedom of speech and while that is true the US does have freedom of speech enshrined in its founding documents as the first amendment. For most other countries, it's not a clear "right" except by common practice and legislation that could be easily revised.

But, the point is, we should always have the presumption of freedom of speech. As a matter of course that means we also must have certain responsibilities for the consequences of exercising that freedom. This last point often gets overlooked.

Haha, you have no idea how powerful my dissociation is! I could very well be programming in a binary world, if my dissociative identity is linked to the computer!!

No, it's not the same at all... losing software compatibility because you installed an OS update and buying an entirely new piece of hardware that never had compatibility with your software are entirely different and unrelated things.

I personally think Unity suffered from success - I suspect they grew to match their fairly outsized success, found out they were fairly large and needed more revenue to sustain themselves, and so they increasingly looked to and focused on pushing advertising to make up shortfalls, while the game engine was increasingly turned into a vehicle for profitably integrating advertising into games.

My suggestion: Personally, Unity really needs to go lean, embrace their developer experience more, and cut costs. There are 7703 staff (as per wikipedia) - and I don't wish this upon the employees, but they can probably afford to cut some fat.
1. Code for an enterprise stack is useless without the infra to run it.

2. There isn’t a ton of incentive to leak it. Companies have deep legal pockets making the downsides large.

3. Code alone is rarely the differentiating factor between two companies.

4. Open sources means that parts that are generic are already shared.

Groceries in cities sell meat and bread, etc often too, they’re no different than normal grocery stores, just not as big as a supercenter.. I feel like you’re overcomplicating this due to lack of familiarity. And sure, maybe you don’t go to the grocery store literally every day. Maybe you get two or three days worth, what’s comfortable to hold or to push in a cart. Sometimes you order takeout. This is normal stuff in places that aren’t rural areas where the only option is to drive 5-10 miles to a grocery store.
I kinda disagree. I think that this pretty well encapsulates how the word is used nowadays. Just the top few:

- Who f-ing knows anymore? First, it meant factual, and now it means fictional.

- used to describe something that actually happens or exists.

- A good way to show that you are a[n overly-dramatic person]...

- Truthfully actual. Not figuratively. Used when not b-s-ing or by fake cats pretending not to.

I think this gives a good cultural cross-section of what the word means. If you want a (heh) literal definition of "literal", there are other "more professional" dictionaries, but if you want how people actually use the word, I think that UD gives a pretty good reference to how it's currently used. Language is chaotic, and that's a good thing! If it weren't, it would mean that thought and culture were stagnating (hot take, but I think I can back it up).

I think that my disagreement with your opinion is that you're a prescriptivist linguist, while I'm a descriptivist linguist. My preferred dictionary is one that describes how the word is currently used in its common cultural form. For obvious reasons, these are basically impossible to keep up to date. If I'm reading your philosophy correctly, you would prefer a more static, well described language. French is probably as good an example of a prescriptivist language that I could think of off the top of my head. Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acad%C3%A9mie_Fran%C3%A7aise for more on that.

I don't think either of us is "correct", but I think that each dictionary is useful in a specific place. If you're trying to write formal communication, then a prescriptivist dictionary is the best choice. However, if you're meeting a new person and you don't understand what they're saying because they use a word in a new or unexpected way, then a descriptivist dictionary is probably better.

Having been the son of a veterinarian, I'll provide my perspective:

* Veterinarians get into their career because of their love of animals and wanting to take care of them. Working with their owners can be a positive or negative.

* They are limited by what information they can get out of their patients. Example, A dog not wagging its tail could be due to it being scared or internal pain. Dogs instinctually hide pain and will usually cry when they are by themselves. Owners do their best sharing what they know and the vet has to balance what they see, with what they hear from owners, and their experience.

* Modern vet triage relies on medical testing, especially imaging tech. 30 years ago, the vet had simple blood tests, reviewed blood samples under a microscope, XRays on film. They now have access to move advanced lab work, MRIs, etc, digital XRays They have to pay for that equipment as well as their student loans. This equipment is made by the same companies as human medical gear. It's not cheap.

* There is little money in small animal clinics. Increasing the volume of clients improves the cost to client, however no one wants to go to a vet that is rushing them in and out. Like all things, some vets have started corporations to buy up small practices and scaling out.

* There is even less money in large animal care. Vets understand they are impacting the livelyhood of their clients. Many times they have to travel to the client, can be badly injured, and/or may be working on these animals with little help.

* There is more money in specialization, this in turn reduces general practitioners. The same principles in human medicine can apply to animal medicine.

* Vet practices are being controlled more and more by for-profit corporations. This brings some efficiencies but may or may not be passed to the owners. Most vets do not want to run a practice.

* Owners want the same healthcare outcomes for their pets as themselves. This can contradict with their ability to pay. Very few people consider how expensive that puppy or kitten will be towards the end of their life. Would requiring everyone to take a class and sign an 'expected lifetime' worksheet help with this? No, it wouldn't but it would be nice if owners better understood what they were getting into.

* Pets are considered property by the state. Owners think of them as family. They do not have the same rights as people. Vets and their staff have to deal with difference.

* It's not surprising some veterinarians utilize euthanasia solution when commiting suicide. Human doctors utilize whatever pain meds they have access to and would use euthanasia solution if given access to it. Making it harder for vets to use the solution would only get in the way of doing their job. There is room for improvement here (whether its consoling, changes in regulations, etc).

* Owners under stress are not enjoyable to work with. The vet staff didn't create the situation the owner is in and has to comfort both the owner and the animal. Some owners can be downright terrible. This was one of the reasons I didn't follow in my parents footsteps.

a) because services like Twitter and Facebook have to show something in the timeline. What they show is this job

b) because in practice, an approach too laissez-faire here has negative impact both on customer adoption (most people don't actually enjoy cesspools, and they leave when they decide a service is one) and regulation (even in countries with broad free-speech protections, some communication is de facto illegal and there are consequences for a service taking no responsibility for keeping their house in order).

This summarizes a bunch of fashion lawsuits including, someone selling NFTs of someone else's handbags, Adidas suing someone making track pants with Adidas-style vertical stripes (which seems like a trademark violation but Adidas lost), Staging a fashion show that blocked someone else's store, one brand buying a lot of stock in another brand, The Hell's Angels suing someone for using their logo, someone getting fired for being an anti-semite, and a couple of counterfeit shoe law suits.

Zero of these even suggest that fashion designers may claim that the shape and style of a dress or other garment that they create is their intellectual property and they have a monopoly on its duplication. Because you can not copyright a dress.

Turns out being surprised by the rent going up by 50% during a pandemic where a lot of people were forced out of the labor force also sucks.

Whenever I see "financial advice youtubers" saying people shouldn't buy their homes because there's no liquidity I think about my 2.5K 30 years fixed mortgage in a mcmansion which is the same I paid for rent in a 2br in PHL's center city 3 years ago.

Had I listened to them i would likely be paying half my salary in rent alone to live at some shitty apartment building with bad schools and a landlord that was going to hike the price as far as he could. Guess that constant stress might not be good for my health.

You are misunderstanding the purpose of transformation as a Fair Use criteria; it's there to prevent using copyright claims to quash parody and critical (as in criticism) discussion of the copyrighted work, so for instance using copyright to attack a journalist who quotes shitty writing in a book review, or a comedian who alters a quote to make fun of a Disney character, etc.

Not only is training ml models not a form of critical expression that enjoys 1A protection, but using the book itself to train a model isn't transformative; you didn't alter the book, you used the book verbatim to train on. That the model doesn't maintain the book doesn't matter; copyright doesn't only cover output (ie a derived work like said comedy skit), it also covers input (how the original work is obtained), and in this case they were not obtained legally (which means with a license for said use).

> I’d argue that a corpus built for the training of an AI model is transformative since it doesn't detract commercially from the original works

The reason OpenAI isn't arguing this is because they know that would be DOA. You cannot just package copyrighted works together or in a different way and claim that is transformative; there is actually direct case law about that because torrenters tried to claim exactly that, and lost. In fact, transformation is explicitly ruled in several cases to not apply to the entire original work being present.

They should be careful with the term "Traffic Calming" as that is a term that describes using red lights and obstacles to make people stop more frequently and supposedly drive slower through the city. Many cities are doing this, despite the fact that it wastes fuel and time, and doesn't really increase safety. It just frustrates people and makes them drive like maniacs.

This is literally the opposite of Traffic Calming.

From my own experience, I think this can be part of it.

My wife and I lived in an apartment several years ago. While there my wife had sleep issues and seemed to get sick more often. Close to the end of our lease, after a little rain, we found mold on the carpet and on some of our stuff in our bedroom closet.

We reported the mold to the landlords. They quickly denied it was mold, calling it “mildew” then had contractors tear open the wall and redo the insulation, carpet and walls. They offered to pay us money if we didn’t write a review regarding the incident.

We moved out as soon as we could. Now that we are lucky enough to live in our own home, we both feel a lot better in terms of sleep and health.

I can’t prove the mold was the cause of bad sleep or prove how long the mold was even there. But I don’t think I can go back to renting where I don’t have control or insight into how things are maintained.
