> Strike escalated on Monday - "Tesla has brought people here"

> Unknown people in workshop clothes reportedly arrived by taxi on Monday morning at several Tesla workshops, according to picketers around the country.

> - "There are strikebreakers working inside the premises right now," says Carola Andersson, chair of IF Metall in Umeå.

> Around eight o'clock on Monday morning, a taxi arrived at the Tesla car workshop in Umeå, where almost all workers went on strike on Friday. Picketers from the trade union IF Metall noticed four people, dressed in workshop clothes, getting out of the car and entering the workshop.

> - We have at least five strikebreakers here who have come from somewhere else. They are completely new guys who have not been here before. They work with Tesla clothes on inside the workshop. Extensive strikebreaking," he says.

> - "We discovered that overtime was planned for the weekend, so we had picketers there on Saturday and were then told that there was also work on Sunday. We can't know one hundred percent that it was workshop work, but I saw with my own eyes that cars were being driven out of the service doors," says Karl-Henrik Rosberg, IF Metall's ombudsman in Gothenburg.

IF Metall is one of the largest trade unions in Sweden, and the union involved with Tesla right now.

The "small devices" (gemalto NL vasco US) are/where made in china. Those are probably going "away", at least as we know them.

To boil down the problem: To access the western systems you need to keep feeding Apple, Google and Microsoft (AGM).

The alternatives are non-existing still 15 years after the release of the smartphone (that in retrospective probably was the dumbest thing humans have made).

The dream device = dual boot tablet Android/iOS and vanilla linux will never exist?

So you have to shoot for vanilla linux (maybe ARM, probably RiscV) and tell the banks that you are dropping support for AGM.

It's a "I'm not in here with you, you are in here with me" sort of moment.

This goes hand-in-hand with root certificates, taxes and the health/legal system at large; everything made by humans without consulting nature first.

I got popcorn, but I'm kinda worried too.
I think trying to generalise every company in the world is unhelpful. Between employees on different levels this can be problematic, but two employees on the same level in different teams is something I have seen and there has been no problem. Not all companies explicitly forbid this and as long as they don’t and you use common sense it can be fine. A lot of people have met their partner through work.
So just to be sure: the list of URLs + metadata that gets used for stable diffusion is several terabytes. Not the images. Just the list of URLs alone (and a bit of other metadata).

Stable diffusion itself is just 6+ GB, and fits comfortably on my USB stick.

HEVC is great for giving you quality in a smaller file size, for your local video files (due to being supported by more cameras and phones so far). AV1 has wider support for streaming video online at a higher quality (due to more browser support so far). So, at the moment, they are really best in two different use cases (subject to change, of course).
Insurance companies could directly ask for DNA if they don't care about legality. And in return they could easily offer say 90% discount to 90% of the people.
But wages are often also only a fraction of what they should be, especially for those working outside of the tech industry. But I suppose that's a separate issue.

Is the risk high enough to justify the ever-growing disparity between owners/C levels/investors/etc and the employees that get the work done?

What with all of the bail-outs through history, running an especially large company seems pretty much riskless. And hell, if you look at the history of technology, say games and game consoles (because I like retro games) the number of times a hugely successful product/project that netted 100s of millions of dollars was "not allowed" by the CEO etc but was hidden until it was too late (see Xbox etc) is super high. In addition to the number of decisions made by higher ups where the business swallowed a loss (particularly easy in larger businesses) is also high.

Imagine if Bill Gates and Steve Balmer hadn't been convinced/swayed to make the Xbox. How much profit has MS made from that? A fucking shitload, and have the guys that pushed it, or for that matter anybody in a similar situation (of which there are many) ever seen any of that success? No.

And we can't say "well the CEXs have the final say because they take on all the risk" they do, technically, but in reality when C levels screw up oftentimes it's just taken as a loss and things move on.
If you want to talk about "free will" rigorously, you need to consider the human being as a random process.
> Bcachefs is safer to use than btrfs

Citation needed. With a sample size of 1 it ate my data and BTRFS has been running perfectly fine on that system (after I bailed off of bcachefs) and other systems. I think it is great that they consider data safety very important but it will take lots of testing and real-world experience to validate that claim.
There is a surprise. Why would you give your data to these people?
We have to make a distinction between the standard and implementations. AV1 has open source implementations which achieve really high compression. HEVC also has implementations which achieve really high compression and do that faster than AV1, but all the good ones are paid like MediaConcept. [1] The open source HEVC implementations (i.e. x265) are unfortunately quite weak compared to their AV1 counterparts and do not achieve comparable compression.

So yes, the answer depends most on whether you care about licensing. Both in terms of royalities and also implementations.

I don't believe transient copies are the real issue here. Having a temporary copy stored locally in memory is more of a technical nuance than anything. That copy remains isolated and is not being distributed or shared. In contrast, using something like BitTorrent actively spreads copies across the internet.

There are also cases where loading copyrighted content is unavoidable in order to even view the license terms. For example, a website could deny the right to copy its content before you even see the licensing details. Temporary copies enabled through normal usage like this should be permissible.
> One can willfully be irrational.

Don't confuse "having reasons" with "being rational". Free will is a freedom to act according to your internal reasons, with that process of deliberation over your reasons being responsive to various types of feedback. Those reasons don't have to be rational.
> I'm discussing a massive change in how society operates and whether that is ultimately good or bad

The period of the industrial revolution until WFH is a microcosm of human existence. We're simply reverting to the norm, rather than doing something new.
In the age of supply chain attack weariness and general risk skyrocketing, it is a bit funny seeing the many observability vendors wanting you to give them kernel mode access. And it's sad that most apps that will be most in need of automatic instrumentation are "frozen" rarely developed / updated apps at critical institutions like banks.

As for the original post, opentelemetry is forced to be relatively slow because of a huge amount of semantic conventions that are meant to make data more useful. I won't go into the legitimacy of that, but while I haven't been able to verify the data this solution records, it is very unlikely to be recording as much information. Manual instrumentation would never loose to eBPF in principle, at least in a compiled language like Go, but eBPF does have great potential to perform better than OTel while recording far less data. Then comes blog post, users giving the keys to their kernel, and data ending up in the hands of an enemy state. I doubt that's the case this time but it's only a matter of time.

Banking apps if you see this, please just instrument your code. Thank you.

> Religion ticks all these boxes

Regular participation in religious services is of the most beneficial activities a person can do for their mental health. I'm not saying this as a platitude, but as a well documented observed phenomenom [0][1]. To the point, I regularly see studies on benefits to those who regularly attend religious services and have never seen a study showing any adverse affects from it.

That is not to say religion is an unalloyed good, far from it. But human communities are built around shared values and beliefs - and religions provide community, cohesion, and existential value that is not replicable in any other way.

This kinda knee-jerk anti-religious sentiment is something I'd personally label a luxury belief that is largely damaging to the population as a whole. If you are sufficiently wealthy, you can probably fill some of the voids left by a lack of religion. But irreligiosity does not scale

> Sorry, you're entirely mistaken, there is no business laptop that you could reasonably buy with more than 16G of RAM.

> No Dell Latitude, Elitebook, Thinkpad X/T-series or even Fujitsu lifebook supported a CPU that was permitting greater than 16GiB of memory.

Here are the Lenovo PSRef specs for the Thinkpad T470, which clearly states 32GB as the officially-supported maximum, using a 6th or 7th gen CPU:

https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T...

This is not a behemoth of a laptop; I'm writing this on a T480 right now, which supports 32GB officially and 64GB unofficially, and it weighs 4lbs with the high-capacity battery (the same as the T470).

I can't tell if you're trolling or what, but if you're serious, you clearly didn't look hard enough.

Edit: since you mentioned Latitudes, Elitebooks, and Fujitsu lifebooks:

- Dell Latitude 7480 (6th gen CPUs) officially supports 32GB: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/latitude-14-7480-...

- HP Elitebook 840 G3 (6th gen CPUs) officially supports 32GB: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05259054

- For Lifebooks, I couldn't find an older one that supported 32GB, but this U937 uses 7th gen CPUs, and has 4GB soldered and one DIMM slot which supports up to 16GB. This is a total of 20GB, again, breaking the 16GB barrier: https://www.fujitsu.com/tw/Images/ds-LIFEBOOK%20U937.pdf

I believe these are all 14"-class laptops that weigh under 4 pounds.
You are reasoning in terms of total elimination of risk. That is the source of our disagreement.

> I believe that I should never be able to get financially hurt or go to prison because I used other person's thoughts

"Use another person's thoughts" is obfuscating the reality of the situation so far as to be disingenuous. The way society ensures new works are created is to guarantee a temporary monopoly over certain narrow types of ideas to their creators. Why would anybody be an author if everyone could download free copies of any new book that came out?

I think patents are granted too liberally, and that copyright lasts at least twice as long as it should, but to argue that intellectual property can't even in theory be beneficial to protect is silly.

GP basically already said that
AI is just leveraging value in the data that wasn't used before. In the same way we can automate jobs by watching how the human workers do the job, we can automate writing text or producing a picture. As we drive to work, we do so so we can get to work, but cameras on other vehicles watch us drive, and take all the judgement and learning we put into driving to try and create automated drivers. Should all drivers be compensated when their driving style is used to train an autonomous vehicle? It's the same scenario you mention: the work of humans is used to automate away that same work (this is pretty much how we automated everything, AI is just more explicit about it). It seems to me that these lawsuits are really about trying to stop the automation of certain creative jobs. And perhaps this is where we disagree, since stopping automation of jobs doesn't seem like a nobel end to me. Indeed, if we'd had this attitude about automating other jobs (like farming and manufacture of goods), creative jobs wouldn't exist, since everyone would be spending all their time producing food and tools.

I'm not sure what your comment about "Logitech CoPilot" is. GitHub CoPilot exists, was trained on code from the past 20 years, and by and large developers enjoy the additional automation, and are looking for ways to leverage this automation to be more productive. I would think artists and writers would adopt a similar approach. Experience tells me that fighting automation is a waste of time. Best to stay ahead of it.
One thing to consider is to have your publicly-visible web sites on vanity domain/domains, but all your server infrastructure on a domain in your local stable ccTLD.
This really hit it on the head. Racism was presented as the worst transgression anyone could make. Is it a surprise that when the generation raised in that environment reached adulthood - and realised that racism wasn't quite as dead as they thought, some of them would take their internalised morality to the extreme.
> If we naively define it as something that isn't just pure randomness, but also something that isn't pure causality, then what is it?

Read up on Compatibilism. Free will can be defined in a way that's compatible with determinism. A deliberation over values resulting in a justification for a choice, aka "reasons" or "will". When you are "free" to act in accordance with those reasons, ie. you haven't been coerced into acting against your own reasons, then you've made a choice of your own free will. Simple and totally compatible with determinism.
The context part is clear but how do you define "myself"? :)

I appreciate the sentiment but AI is not a panacea to copyright laws, it's a way to hoard ideas whether it's protected or not.

My OD (I have an anti-hippy bias, so I checked and the online sources claim MD and OD are really not different; not sure if my bias is actually correct, maybe MDs are better?) literally googles symptoms. Thanks, I could do that myself without paying $150 for the visit...

What I would really prefer is not a non-physician - it's the ability to get any medicine without prescription + without liability (if you take something that works as intended and harms you, no suing for damages), and the ability to easily get tests, specialist appointments and things like x-rays for cash (e.g. I had a complete change of treatment after having to insist on some test that they didn't think was needed... more than once, usually for injuries).

People should be able to direct their own care as long as they pay for it.
Interestingly, the best physician I had (in terms of being correct and helpful, and no googling) was also the most open to that. When I asked about some drug once he was like, "I think the evidence you refer to is weak, and it won't do anything for you, but if you really want I can prescribe it"

My OD refused to order an online gut test (that for some idiotic reason has to go thru a PCP) cause "I don't know what this test is, you don't need it". I was kinda tempted to say "well maybe you should google it, as usual"

So there's that woman I follow who used to work in hostage and ransom negotiation business, and she's adamant there's no such thing as "no negotiations with terrorists" no matter public rhetoric or legislation. When push comes to shove, side channels and loopholes are inevitably found and third party contractors like her are getting hired.

Quality versus quantity problem. The most popular games not made by Valve tend to not work at all, and a quick look at Proton DB shows of the top 100, only about 20% are in the "no issues" (platinum) category. Gold is "playable", and from experience, there is a lot of variability there. It includes problems that would lead to refunds and bad reviews on the original platform.

I just assumed Disney paid their employees, though maybe they’re volunteers or something. I read Ed Catmull’s Creativity, Inc. a while back and my takeaway (in addition to seeing a glimpse into how the management worked) was that all workers at Pixar were compensated for their work. Not totally orthogonal because Disney did end up acquiring Pixar. But I have a hard time believing a movie like Frozen was created without paying for it to be created.
