As was the sentiment when Facebook said they'd pull out of Europe if forced to abide by the laws: Don't threaten us with a good time :D
Pretty sure working class people suppress "fancy words". A fella could get mistaken for a "fairy" or maybe even get a beatin'.

It's like how mothers used to chip in to enforce gender inequality their daughters suffered. It is a defeatist mindset, that is culturally enforced and learned from bitter lessons of the reality of power balance and dynamics in society.

edit:

like many here at my development stage (middleclass, degreed parents, etc) there was significant positive feedback for displaying cognitive abilities.

So it is not a luxury, it is a privilege.

And that raises the question of whether it is in fact required (as a sort of petite-bourgois-oblige) for those of us who are comfortable with "fancy words" to do the talking for the otherwise encumbered oppressed?
so you mean riskier?

It's convenient to refer to the training of the machine as learning but let's not lose sight of the fact that "machine learning" is not at all the same thing as people "learning". Pretending they mean the same thing in this context, in my opinion, is dishonest.

I also take issue with the assumption that AI will "benefit everyone enormously, even if it won't be equally distributed"; I don't see any factual basis for this assumption. On the contrary, it seems much more likely that AI will be used to concentrate wealth even further. Given the high cost, I find it hard to believe it will ever by "equally distributed".

For as long as I can remember big corporations have been merciless in their preservation of "intellectual property". I didn't love it then and I don't love it now. OTOH, the idea that Microsoft can train their LLM on code I've written and then sell access to that LLM for money (sharing no dollars with me) strikes me as outright theft.
The civil rights movement, #MeToo, the Berlin Wall, the world post-2008 crisis, there are probably more that I'm not thinking of, but each of these directly contributed to a better world for those the zeitgeist focussed on in a tangible way. I think the voice of reason did pretty well in these, though unreasonable voices from within movements that made movements look bad to reasonable people existed.
Id call a RW snapshot a "fork".
Granted I haven’t tried Tensorflow with it, but I’ve literally never had any issues with it that weren’t caused by system Python changing (like Brew updating the Python minor version). And that’s fixed by installing it with pipx, which is one of their recommended ways to do so.
This is more of an interpreter than a compiler, but if you look at the "Arithmetic example with semantics" [1] linked on Ohm's GitHub page, you can see how Ohm can be simultaneously used for both (1) defining a language for arithmetic expressions and (2) defining how those expressions should be evaluated. I don't think Lezer even tries to help with something like this.

Let's say I have a band. We make a record, and we sell some records. We get paid for that.

Now someone wants to use one of the songs in an ad. We "got paid" to produce the work, but the people making the ad still have to pay us for that use of the song, because it's a different use than the one we got paid for.
Title checks out as the "console experience" is getting routinely shafted by a giant corp who is the one that actually owns the hardware.
False. Libraries exist. Borrowing books from neighborhood libraries or friends exists. Watching movies and TV with friends exists. Listening to music on the radio (yes, those free electromagnetic thingies) still exists. There are many, many, many free performances or accessible copies of all kinds of copyrighted content, plenty to train either a neural net or a human brain on.

Books3 has separate legal concerns, but Google has a legally acquired corpus of tons of books, which they've mostly cleaned up from scans (probably far better than IA has), and have probably used to train Bard on. Their lawyers must be biting their nails waiting to see how these lawsuits turn out, though.

Until AGI arrives, or some other method of training LLMs from the ground up on sparse examples by incrementally building on structural knowledge of language.... training on ridiculous amounts of copyrighted content is required. Not because anyone wants to copy those works, but because training that way fills in for a lack of real-world experience that every child gets, which includes consuming and interacting with a bunch of copyrighted content that isn't tracked because it's not practical to do so.

You could train a LLM only on project gutenberg, and the LLM would churn out stilted English and the occasional iambic pentameter. That's great if you want works that seem like they were written over a century ago, but nearly useless otherwise.

No, I'm discussing a massive change in how society operates and whether that is ultimately good or bad. As I said at the start of my comment, everybody is different. Working from home is great for some people, and horrible for others.

>> Sounds like an individual problem

Yes, but there are lots of things that are 'individual problems' for which society operates in a certain way to ensure it functions as well as possible as a whole. It's an interesting discussion.
First of all, it's definitely a "money grab". I am very surprised they allowed unlicensed controllers in the first place: other consoles used to make more from licensing accessories than from licensing software. I'd imagine they allowed it to sacrifice some profit to attract more customers with cheaper accessories and now they feel that they have enough customers already, very strange move at this point.

However, the detection methods you described are very bad engineering. Any statistical method will have two types of errors: false positives and false negatives and you cannot eliminate either. Inevitable false positives will do much more damage to the consumer perception of the platform than any removal of third party controllers could possibly do.
100% misprediction of two choices is an error in the algorithm. You could flip the prediction at the end and be 100% right.

50% misprediction cannot be improved upon with trivial methods.
I agree, and that's my point. Should we have private insurances for genetic based risks?

Is there a point of private health insurance?

My phone screen got so full of stays I couldn't see the map! Thanks for the link.
You need 50 of those to run at home for selfhosting/homelab? I've bought a few. Never had any issues. They're not hard to find if you need them in bulk. But then again, most people don't need 50 of them or even more than a few for home use. Amazon renewed sells mini-PCs and you can just as easily return them if there are issues. If you need 50 of them, then your use case is for enterprise or business use. You should probably not look at a raspberry pi then either.

Even if you don't want to buy on secondary market because concerns around ram, power supply or SSD. Then even a new mini-PC running something like a Intel N100 for $100-150 will vastly outperform a Raspberry Pi 5- yet still provide better I/O options + QuickSync.

Open-access reformers launch next bold publishing plan
I believe the reason the industry went with multi-core chips is because they hit a wall (so to speak) with the actual transistor counts per chip.

I would wager a guess that most people have CPUs that are over-powered for their needs. I'm not saying researching and improvement is a waste of time, just that for 95% of the people, buying bleeding edge computers is a waste of money.
I hope this becomes global law, and I hope Safari brings back the DNT setting.
Yeah, as wasteful with someone's time as the meetings it's talking about.
I would grant that as an example of blocking open software, but since Destiny 2 can be run on windows on a steam deck, it doesn't seem to be an example of blocking open hardware (not that steam deck hardware is actually 'open'.)
Should we private insurance on "something you're born with" based risks?
They can usually cancel the contract early, then you keep your subsidized phone without paying it off. In such a case they usually accept to keep the old conditions until the phone is paid off, because they don't want to give away a phone for free.
Tldr; Much better than M1, we don't want to compare it to M2 because that highlights it's only an incremental upgrade.
I don't see how.

I think it's closer to an attempted refutation of a strawman.

As one who leans towards belief in free will and also towards compatibilism, and more importantly originates from a culture with a shared belief in free will (conservative Christian evangelicalism), I don't think anyone I've known who believed in it meant "I believe my actions are fundamentally unpredictable."

I think they just meant that they genuinely have an ability to choose between the options they perceive, and then to attempt to enact that choice.
Chicken & egg problem.

No AV1 videos -> no pressure to add hardware support -> difficult to justify encoding videos in AV1
Re: predatory landlords: if they are not breaking the law, are they really blameworthy?

Yes. Many things that fall short of "illegal" are blameworthy (that you don't even push back on calling them predatory is telling). Our legal system is not meant to be a moral system (and almost always favors people with more money). Also keep in mind, these folks have money to contribute to local politicians who then bend laws/regs in their favor anyway.

The combination has usually been a good bit more expensive but I think the next time around I’ll be doing that with a Mac mini. The last time I bought was in 2020 and at the time the 5+K display market was surprisingly expensive.
As far as I can tell, Apple has always only supported decoding for non-MPEG codecs.

And their encoders (at least on macOS in the past) usually don’t yield results comparable to software or dedicated quality-optimized encoding ASICs, so if I wanted high quality at low bitrates I’d have to reencode offline anyway.

It would be nice to have it available for video conferencing or game streaming, though.
Last I checked the GDPR applies to EU residents, not EU citizens. In other words: it applies to anyone in Europe, not anyone from Europe.

The legal problem with geo-blocking to work around the GDPR is that the error page is usually not GDPR-compliant either. That said for most US sites which apply geo-blocking this is very much a "we'd rather lose that part of the audience than respect anyone's rights" kind of deal. You can roll out the GDPR-compliant treatment for your US users too and it'll be to their benefit. It just means your broken business model that relies on abusing your users' privacy might no longer work.

Note that there are EU sites that do force tracking ads on their users while still being GDPR-compliant by only doing so after the user has consented to it and offering a paid subscription without these ads as an alternative. So it's not just "but we need ads" but explicitly "but we want to harvest your data and do who knows what with it".
Right? And it's not like the equation changes, for advertisers. The only difference in this scheme than the current one is that it doesn't allow for such severe money-pooling. Still some! Obviously facebook would have a great and well-vetted network of advertisers that they could connect you with, which would surely incur some maintenance cost. But being able to opt-in to someone's ad services would be just another way to prove the cost of a service (in this case, social media) to consumers. It's just wins, all the way around.
"Why purposefully handicap your player base instead of letting them use whatever they want?"

Failing to do so creates a pay-to-win situation.

Now, you might be thinking, companies obviously have no problem with a pay-to-win situation. But you see, there is a critical difference; the companies want you to pay them to win. Paying a third-party, unapproved, unlicensed hardware manufacturer results in $0 dollars going to Microsoft for your pay-to-win experience, and that is just unacceptable.

That's the first-order answer. There's a second-order answer too, which is that even in a pay-to-win situation the company still needs enough control to put up a competent and plausible cover over the pay-to-win mechanics; imagine a game that is literally pay to win, that is, the only input to the "game" (such as it is) is literally how much you paid for it. This obviously wouldn't last long, the best they could hope for is a income trajectory that looks like the I Am Rich app [1], and with even modest cleverness a company can milk a pay-to-win situation much longer than that. And on this level too, there's a problem for Microsoft. The pay-to-win situation is extremely poorly tuned for retention of either the payers or the non-payers; the hardware maxes out the winningness pretty quickly for not much money and doesn't give Microsoft any opportunity to manipulate the non-payer's experience, creating a very hostile environment for players giving Microsoft more money.

You can add more detail to the model in a third-order analysis that considers the player's reactions to the manipulations of the software companies to avoid the negative effects of a simplistic pay-to-win model and the player reactions to the cheaters, and start modeling changes-over-time more explicitly, and it's not hard to see how having pay-to-win cheaters out of the control of Microsoft causes both Microsoft and the non-cheating players a lot of problems too.

I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader, but I will give you the hint that if you draw it out far enough it becomes clear that it's actually a very difficult situation in the limit. As others mention, the hardware hackers can just move up a layer in the stack and resume their work. You'll discover this is not a place where there's a "solution", but that it's intrinsically an arms race, which is why this problem still hasn't been "solved", in either direction by the cheaters or the game devs, even after decades of work by both of them.

(The software fixes proposed elsewhere are not a solution, only another step in the arms race. A good step, and possibly a step worth taking, but only a step. It does at least pull down the skill ceiling you can buy access to, to the point a human might at least hope to stand a chance, but the risk of blocking a top-end player, which is also a player than can cause a PR stink on YouTube, rises steadily as you ratchet down the detection threshold.)

Indeed, I am also an advocate of having the organization define a specific set of languages.

Even with just one, it isn't really a single one.

To pick on JS as example, not only there is JavaScript to learn, TypeScript might also be part of the stack, then there is the whole browser stack, and eventually node ecosystem as well.

Take the remaining UNIX/Windows related knowledge to get development and deployment into production going, SQL and the related stored procedures syntax for RDMS backends.

Eventually the need to know either C or C++, to contribute to V8 native extensions or WASM.

Now those folks need to learn about Go, Go's standard tooling, Go's ecosystem, IDE or programmer's editor customizations for Go code, and how to approach all the development workflows they are confortable of from the point of view of a Go developer.
I don't turn mine on for every meeting, and neither do the other devs on my team. The Product Managers almost always have theirs on.

Larger meetings (more than, say, 10 people) I keep mine off but will turn on if I'm speaking or in an active discourse.

Rich is a subjective term but your definition of it is strangely unusual and specific.
Can you not just place the swapfile inside of another subvolume? Since subvolumes are not included in snapshots. There's generally a bunch of stuff in /var that you don't want to include in snapshots, too, so it's not like putting the swapfile inside of a subvolume is an exotic task.
Hm, qualcomms seems to have some point there, but also seems to be driven by wanting to reuse more ARM tech.

I guess google forcing RV64GC or RV64G_Zigs could be the tie braker here.

But while removing or changing the C instruction when it's rolled out isn't really an option as long as it's mostly about emulator testing they probably don't care too much.
If this is really about cheating then the notice won’t appear for single player games.

Politicians are going to start creating their own Safe Spaces so they don’t have to read any discontent or criticism. Maybe we can get Butters to do the moderation?
I think this is an actual example of 'legitimate interest' under GDPR (unlike most of the websites that claim it). There would still be an expectation that you didn't use that data for anything else and got rid of it as soon as it was no longer needed.

This describes how ideas work - and ideas are rarely (if ever) IP-locked by a first originator - because there usually isn't one.

Everything by everyone, everywhere is built on the output of predecessors. Progress is a shared effort made up of minuscule increments or slight reorderings - which are typically done several times before they catch on.

IP exists to hinder this process by preventing 99.99999% of potential people from advancing ideas.
I wouldn’t drop down to a 4K but the 5+K display market has also come down considerably so I think that’s also why Apple isn’t in a hurry to refresh the 27” since the sweet spot isn’t there any more.
Apple has a tiny sliver of the patents in HEVC, and while we don't have the numbers I feel pretty certain they pay far more into the pool to ship HEVC in their devices than they get out of it. The same is doubly true of Qualcomm who aren't even a part of the pool.

HEVC was finalized in 2013. AV1 was finalized in 2018, and has just finally started getting a robust ecosystem of software and hardware.
I feel there is definitely room for an improvement in work Teams calls culture (replace with your own video call solution).
Calls should be less formal, less restrictive (unless it's a formal meeting) basically a call can be left on in the background as you go on with your life.
+1 Indeed.

Compared to other standards in streaming media, I'd say that AOMedia has found adoption a lot quicker. h265 (HEVC) was all but DoA until years after it's introduction Apple finally decided to embrace it. It is still by no means ubiquitous, mostly due to patent licensing, which significantly drives up the price of hardware in single digit dollars price range.

Anecdotally, consider that Apple's HTTP Live Streaming protocol (till version 6) relied on MPEG2TS, even though Apple lay the groundwork for ISO/IEC 14496-12 Base Media File Format aka MP4. The reason was that chips in the initial Iphones had only support for h264 using mpeg2 transport streams, and even mp4 -> mp2 transmuxing was considered too resource intensive.
Silver was one argument, but the article also mentions that vampires don’t show up in mirrors because they don’t have a soul.

I think it might depend in the end if cameras ( including mirror less) are capturing the soul ?
If they do then the vampire would still not be in the picture.
>Apple devices aren't engineered to last; they're engineered to be manufactured, sell new, and sometimes sell expensive repairs by them.

I have a 2007 iPod nano that I still use pretty regularly. It still works, and I can load new music to it from my Mac.

I would say it was engineered to last.

If you're an Apple engineer then thanks for your forward thinking. Please keep it up, people do appreciate it, even if you don't hear it that often.
Def cheaper to diy. Think I spent around 30 bucks on the capture card and usb data/power splitter. Already had an old pi3 on hand
Thinley veiled attempt to extract money from sales of third-party peripherals. This would be trivial for manufacturers of cheat hardware to work around. All they have to do is modify first-party hardware. Only difference is now MS profits from it.

Cheaters are scum but as someone who doesn't play many competitive games, I'm sick of being forced to make sacrifices to help deal with them.
Yes, you absolutely want a board and accountability on how the money is spent.
Java modules are doing alright since Java 9, are the foundation for Java's linker and code stripping on AOT, while Eclipse keeps using OSGi just fine.
>Now we don't need to consider your opinion and can move on.

You can ignore anyone arguing from opinion, that's a given. "NYC left rich cohort" sounds like an absolute nightmare to try to figure out the truth with, given that they seem to think the character of a speaker has any bearing on the validity of their spoken words. Best not to engage with people like that, it's a waste of time.
Except accidents happen.

Unless they have a crystal ball and can tell you whether or not you will be involved in an accident leading to serious injury (and the nature of those injuries) then you still need health insurance.

I know a guy who was robbed and shot. Had to have surgery and spent a few weeks in the hospital.

I have a neighbor that was jogging, tripped over a bump in the sidewalk and broke his arm. Few weeks in a cast.

I know plenty of blue collar workers who had on the job injuries that required medical treatment.

Your DNA isn't going to help with that. And in America, a simple 4 hour visit to the ER can result in a multi-thousand dollar bill. And if you're unfortunate enough to need a surgery and a multi-week stay then we're talking 5 figures minimum.
