Primary source to US specific laws:
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-37/chapter-II/subchapter-...

To quote from the article:
>Typefaces cannot be protected by copyright in the United States The idea that typefaces cannot be copyrighted in the United States has been black letter law since the introduction of Code of Federal Regulations, Ch 37, Sec. 202.1(e) in 1992.[10] The legal precedent that typefaces are not eligible for protection under U.S. copyright law was established before that in 1978 in Eltra Corp. v. Ringer. However, fonts can be protected by design patent, and computer programs that implement typefaces may be protected by copyright.

Which seems to be roughly the same as how it is handled in my home countries jurisdiction.

I could have linked you an actual decision from my home countries national court, but I assumed posting links to german court decisions would only add to the confusion.

I can try to find if the interpretation on the german wiki entry had a reference in english, that would show what I said was at least true for Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

> These fonts were made in the 80s, like me. They should be a free for all.

It makes some weird sense, from a legal standpoint. If you argue that a font file, i.e. the digital representation of a font constitutes as source code, you suddenly have a digital good that is widely accepted as being copyrightable. An exception would not make sense in that instance.

Even then though, only the file representation, i.e. the code would be copyrightable. If you vectorize bitmaps of existing fonts, like in the article, you'd be fine.

And honestly, it stands to reason that vector images files do not constitute a computer program, but you'd have to convince a judge that they cannot encode turing complete information. And first you'd have to teach a judge what a turing machine is.
Cars also hit bikes when cars are backing up, making turns, driving above the speed limit, driving below the speed limit, when the driver opens the door. Really, many varied circumstances that have nothing to do with making a U-turn.

Perhaps the phrase “perfectly safe” is wrong. Maybe “otherwise intrinsically safe” would be more accurate. Having said all that, I do wonder if we have U-turn accident statistics.
I think the main concern with Neuralink isn't so much the technology/mission itself, it's Elon. We've seen with his other companies how he runs testing. Blow up rocket after rocket after rocket until it goes right. And even when it does go right, cause catastrophic damage to the launch pad, damage they were warned would happen. With earth Tesla Autopilots it was very finicky and absolutely should have gone through more in-house training rather than releasing it to the public, calling it a "beta" and hoping for the best.

We've seen his track record and have a perceived idea of how he prefers to advance technology. That's why a lot of people are very nervous about him putting a chip into people's brains.

The author’s mistake is thinking about the ”smart” lights in terms of systems, and the “midwit” lights in terms of products. If you look at smart lights starting with products, ignoring the connectivity and asking questions like will this pair well with my light fixtures and is it capable of the color changing or other tricks I want, then look into the best system to control those products, you won’t get caught in analysis paralysis so easily.

This advice probably doesn’t apply as much to people who want smart-everything since that can get very complicated, but if it’s mainly about lights then you’ll find compatible options for any of the major protocols.
Thanks for the recommendation. At a 30 second glance this looks the most promising so far!
> Maybe floating settlements in the Bay? If Japan can build a floating airport (Narita), can't we build a floating apartment or two?

I think you mean Haneda airport; and it's not floating, it's built on landfill (apparently the literal garbage kind):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haneda_Airport#Domestic_era_(1...:

> The Transport Ministry released an expansion plan for Haneda in 1983 under which it would be expanded onto new landfill in Tokyo Bay with the aim of increasing capacity, reducing noise and making use of the large amount of garbage generated by Tokyo. In July 1988, a new 3,000-metre (9,800 ft) runway opened on the landfill. In September 1993, the old airport terminal was replaced by a new West Passenger Terminal, nicknamed "Big Bird", which was built farther out on the landfill. New C (parallel) and B (cross) runways were completed in March 1997 and March 2000 respectively.[12]

> ....The fourth runway (05/23), which is called D Runway,[33] was also completed in 2010, having been constructed via land reclamation to the south of the existing airfield.
I think fluidity of technology as an industry gives people the opportunity to treat it more as a default, in contrast to other industries. For example, a person trained in finance or biology will struggle more-so to find opportunities within other fields, while tech encompasses many industries.

Just talking with some folks, there’s a strong desire to ‘optimize’ seemingly archaic industries to be up to speed on current technologies. I personally see tech as a tool to do just that, advance and upgrade where we can, in an industry or on a project that I find meaningful.
Reminds me of an old scifi short story I read years ago and can no longer find.

It outlined a future where everyone started automating elements of their messaging to each other. Simple things like automated "Happy Birthday" messages. Eventually, people started setting up auto "Thank you" replies to these messages. It only got more complex from there with increasingly elaborate conversations being automated between people.

Eventually, some calamity hits civilization and humans go extinct. But their technology is resilient and keeps running without them. The ghosts of a dead people continue talking to each other in perpetuity, long dead people cheerfully wishing each other "Happy Birthday" until the lights finally ran out.

Haunting story that I still think about from time to time. Would love it if anyone else recognizes the story and could credit it.

Cambridge/Boston is the same.

Another one that baffles me is seeing people ride E-bikes and scooters on streets with cars or worse, walk ways and trails where other motor vehicles are not allowed.

These are not environmentally friendly alternatives. They are Chinesium E-waste with low quality batteries. They will be driven for one or two years then put in a closet and forgotten about. When they do get used they typically cause more greenhouse gasses from regular cars that have to yield to them, or stop busy intersections so they can cross.

As an avid dirt bike rider it is especially frustrating because these are usually the same people (yuppies) who would call the police on me if I took my 17 year old 200cc dirt bike down the same trails.
> They could've simply integrated TypeScript into VSCode using a proprietary protocol to keep people locked to it.

This was something that had puzzled me for a while until just today when reading another post on the original linked article's site.

It seemed odd that after MS had used Atom/VSCode to essentially "suck all the air out" of the FLOSS/free editor space that they would then "share" something like LSP which seemed to then make it easier for other editors to (at least potentially) offer a similar standard of support for languages that had LSP implementations.

(Because from a purely technical POV I do see LSP as a positive development in the editor space.)

But what I'd apparently missed was something mentioned in an earlier "Why LSP?"[0] post by the same author:

> "[...] Microsoft, who were a vendor of both languages (C# and TypeScript)

> and editors (VS Code and Visual Studio), and who were generally losing

> in the IDE space to a competitor (JetBrains)."

and, so:

> "...launched LSP to increase the value of their platform in other domains

> for free (moving the whole world to a significantly better IDE equilibrium

> as a collateral benefit)."

Thus, assuming this is accurate, the actual target in this case was JetBrains and "sharing" LSP was seen as a reasonable "cost" in order to get additional leverage.

Given that I haven't generally paid attention to any of the C#/TypeScript/JetBrains worlds that was an angle that I'd missed.

The assumption on my part that "sharing" LSP still wasn't likely to be an "altruistic" act on the part of MS was primarily driven by the fact that they hadn't really given up on proprietary/control they'd simply moved the demarcation point to be at the LSP implementation level (e.g. the plugin for Python) & "marketplace" access (e.g. remote plugin) etc (e.g. telemetry).

And by defining/retaining control of LSP they've inserted themselves in the path between other editors & LSP implementations which inherently has value (e.g. by being the "reference"/default implementation[1]).

Anyway, that was an aspect of the context for LSP that I wasn't aware of before today, so thought it might be of interest to some.

(Obviously the majority of today's developers see no issue with the actions of MS in any of this, so, if that's you feel free to agree to disagree & leave the rest of us to tilt at windmills in peace--after all, why would we stop now? :D )

[0] https://matklad.github.io/2022/04/25/why-lsp.html#Why-LSP-is...

[1] Which is one of the reasons I'd really like rust-analyzer to one day change to target an editor implemented in Rust by default. VS Code doesn't need any more value added to it for free but any Rust-based editor would benefit from being a "First Class" rust-analyzer citizen & thus strengthen the wider Rust ecosystem.
> Look how much hatred there is for Neuralink. A company actually trying to productize and bring to market a device that will allow quadriplegic people to move and walk again

People are wary of Neuralink because of how big tech manipulates peoples and pollutes society for profit, not because they are opposed to helping quadriplegics.
Yeah, I had a similar upbringing, and this is my feeling as well. There's a massive trade-off here, but I do feel like the military kids I knew (and run into now) are radically more adaptable and sociable.

Another upside, in retrospect: you end up getting to see, up-close, a huge range of the social/cultural/political landscape.

It's hard to demonize an outgroup much when you at times were that outgroup -- or were at least, in the abstract, some outgroup. You end up forced to confront (deep-down, maybe mostly unconsciously) the arbitrariness and...malleability of a lot of things. You end up with a lot of tolerance. I'm thankful I had that experience, even if it was at times not particularly fun.
whoa...

hold on there...

I replace my 2080ti with a 4080ti... is that's not an upgrade: that's instead categorically always a 'patch' to you?

metaphysically - a replacement says nothing to the quality of replacement.

Silly to think any change on anything is always for the worse...

A replacement can also be an upgrade. those are not mutually exclusive labels.

Right. For example, they are quite useful at generating code and translating the output to Python dictionaries (or JSON). That makes them very useful in code integrations.

One application of casting things to dictionaries is that it makes it easy to grab keyterms from the ingested texts. With the right datastore, we can take the binary set objects and query them very quickly for similarity overlap of other texts, similar to how vector search might return a cosine distance (multi-dimensional angle offset?).

I was thinking these sets could be used to segment vector space, and the only thing that makes that possible is that LLMs are great to use for things like this.

Philips has a line of bulbs called SceneSwitch that use this rapid on-off mechanism to change their brightness and color temperature to one of three levels.

One thing I noticed, a Rivian R1T weighs around 7200lbs. My super crew Super Duty weighed around 6500lbs and was taxed and licensed at the 10000lb GVW class.

The Rivian is not taxed like that but it sure as hell is putting a lot more weight on the roads than a Super Duty that isn't fully laden.

The weight of EVs is far more than I even considered to imagine. I am really surprised at the total weight. This is going to cause significant road damage. At current vehicle weights communities can't even afford road maintenance as it is. As far as I know, all road maintenance is financed with debt.

I'm just wondering how we maintain our current usage patterns with vehicles, switch to far heavier ones, and even begin to address the ongoing road maintenance. We haven't even figured out how to tax EVs yet. ICE vehicles pay a hefty tax at the pump...though that is probably not enough. I don't see where the political will is even coming from to deal with this minor issue of increased road maintenance.

Show HN: OpenBLE, Swagger for Bluetooth
OpenBLE is an API specification language and client generator for Bluetooth services built on the generic attribute (GATT) profile.

Bluetooth development is a mess. Too many datasheets, too little documentation and SDK fragmentation across platforms. I built this tool to improve documentation, version control and development speed for BLE programs.

Even though shunned by Apple and Mozilla, Web Bluetooth enjoys wide support and just works. It makes sense to build the frontend for OpenBLE using web Bluetooth. No SDK hell, no installations, wide support albeit experimental. I could ship the spec, SDK, code generator and testing framework in pure JavaScript.

> Offer the product for dirt cheap to kill off competition, then extract as much value from your users as possible by either mining data or hiking the price.

Genuine question, what are some examples of companies in that "hiking the price" camp?

To be clear, I'm definitely not implying they are not out there, just looking for examples.

That's a damn shame, because with a case dedicated to this use case, you can put your phone on a camera tripod [1] and get really nice photospheres. In fact until I read this feature was dropped, I was anticipating hacking a Peak Design magsafe back to do exactly that.

Oh well, maybe I'll just keep using the pixel 6 pro for that. As others have noted, it's useful to upload panorama and photospheres to Google maps. Particularly for people who are sight or mobility limited, it may be their best option to virtually visit a space. Not that Google Earth isn't also useful, but people will happily crowd source images for places Google photo cars can't go. Google's "Street Trekker" program is done and even their own web page for uploading 360° imagery only references commercial cameras and not their own phones with Photosphere.
