Thanks for this perspective; I'm arriving at the same point (AGPL + CLA) for a project I'm hoping to launch soon.
The content here seems great, but for some reason I find the prose difficult to follow. Maybe I'm just too tired? Some sentences are oddly phrased and I have to keep backing up to re-read them.
I get the sentiment of people who are only interested in game reviews and recommendations.
But as a gamer myself, if that’s all a site offers then I’m not paying $7 per month for it. I wouldn’t be willing to pay anything for that content to be honest. I can get a better sense of the quality of a game from aggregated steam reviews.
I’m not the target audience for this site, but I do recognize that they can’t just write dry game reviews if they want to make a living.
There is a difference between working for 1 company that did crypto vs choosing to work for multiple companies that are in crypto and talking about it aggressively on your Resume. For example, whenever I see "Web3, Blockchain, Crypto Enthusiast", I pass. It shows me poor judgement in my opinion of course.

I've been doing this for years with my tablet. The tablet honestly becomes 'less dumb' in the process though.

I agree some stuff moves towards this Orwellian centralisation of power - I use Geforce Now for games + Amazon Workspaces for work.

I found A Chemical Hunger interesting when I first read it, but later people pointed out a whole bunch of severe mistakes (eg. [1] [2] [3]).

I don't know, I'm not a nutritionist, but the inaccuracies plus all the potato-conspiracy stuff made me doubtful of SMTM. My main takeaway was that no one, not even people in the field, really knows how food works.

Thank you! My current idea is to upload the project as an obsidian vault to GitHub. That would contain markdown files that can be used as-is, and vault configuration files. Obsidian has a variety of plugins for manipulating files and their data.

I am a non-technical technical person in that I understand a lot of random technical concepts, but not necessarily how they work in practice.

I'm not too worried about creating content right away. I am more concerned with designing the system correctly and then working on converting my project to that system.
No one is making you read this specific gaming news site.
What is it about news media, newsletters, etc that makes them so bad at pricing their subscriptions? When you consider the fact that the average reader will want to read a variety of publications/newsletters about topics, charging $7/month for JUST your news site is, I'm sorry to say, delusional.

This isn't to single out Aftermath specifically, I see this kind of thing all over the place. Lots of substack newsletters are particularly detached from reality when it comes to what they charge.

Yes, journalists need to be adequately paid of course, but I think this can be done much more effectively by charging a more reasonable monthly rate that will broaden the customer pool.

The thing with generative models is, it's hard to make them output anything from their training set verbatim. I don't know of a single case of that succeeding with SD or DALL-E or others. So it's not necessarily false to say that the models too always add their own "stamp".
For people saying any diet works, I think the interest here is the rules of "eat as many potatoes as you want" are very easy to follow, it's unambiguous if you followed it properly, simple to buy the ingredients anywhere and when eating out, it's cheap, is meant to work fast, and you aren't going to feel hungry which helps a lot. Most fad diets don't tick as many boxes.

Feels obvious to me that it works via “calories in, calories out” though. 2kg of potatoes a day is about 1500kcal so it's hard to overeat.

For the participants it didn't work on, surely the most likely cause that should be controlled for is how many potatoes they ate or how much oil/butter (some of the most calorific ingredients we use) they had on top?

And not if participants avoided tomatoes ("Tomatoes are our top bet, but other possible blockers might be: wheat, bread, grains more generally, maybe meat.")?
Perhaps they sought to hide it so those that sought to renege couldn't, making it a forever obligation.
I just discovered elixir-tools which has an LSP and it works instantly, and seems to have a more robust architecture than ElixirLS. I used ElixirLS for a couple years now but it was the best option for a while, but elixir-tools (which I literally installed 30 mins ago) has been a delight to work with.

The instant feedback actually feels like how it always should've been.
Air pollution affects almost everyone equally. It's horrible, but it doesn't put particular individuals at greater disadvantage compared to the rest of the population. E.g. it degrades everyone's SAT scores. Whereas lead poisoning is only affecting those that consumed that particular tainted product.

The way credit cards put the burden of refund fraud on the seller enables a fair amount of this. I lost an appeal on a chargeback even after I hired a "task rabbit" type person to take a photo of the item sitting in the buyer's shop window. A custom-made item that was very clearly the item claimed as "did not arrive", in a window, with the customer's street address visible in the same photo. Accompanied with Google Street view pictures and links corroborating the location.

So, often, sellers just refund these because they know fighting it is fruitless. Oh, and you get to pay a chargeback fee on top of losing the item value and cost of shipping if you choose to fight and lose.
> ideological reviews are what is mainstream. It's not about how the game is, it's how inclusive they are to minorities

This seems like a pretty heavy exaggeration to me. I just spotchecked several reviews on IGN, PCGamer, and GamesRadar (top 3 sites I get when googling "games reviews"), and found nothing of the sort. I'm sure if you go digging you could find that content somewhere on the site, but to claim it's the crux of their review model is just false.

For example, the new MW3 is a game where there's lots you could comment on in terms of the ideology of their portrayals of the war on terror and "ends justify the means"... but not one of the mainstream reviews I can see spends time on it, other than to mention the villain's vague motives. Or on the flip side, take Fae Farm, a game that explicitly advertises itself as inclusive - only one paragraph of GamesRadar's the nine page review is on the topic of inclusivity, and it doesn't go any ideologically deeper than "there's a lot of customization here, including androgynous options and things like dreadlocks and turbans". The entire rest of the review is about gameplay and graphics.

I was VERY much in this camp. Worked great for two of my kids.

However, my third kid is absolutely willing to out-stubborn me on this one. She is a VERY picky eater (e.g., last night I had to fight with her to eat some food that she has eaten willingly before). If I let her she will simply go all day without eating rather than eating foods she doesn't want to eat. Not wanting her to be malnourished or develop an eating disorder, I pick my battles.
There are many religious texts that instruct followers in the administration of justice to include beheading.

I'm not so sure about this. I'm not saying courts in the US will rule one way or the other, I'm just saying it's certainly not a forgone conclusion that training is fair use. Even if it is, the companies might not have sone their due diligence.

Lots of data they trained on is available for purchase (e.g. artists often sell prints or reproduction rights, the books in books3 are widely available, etc). It's my understanding that companies like Stability and OpenAI did not attempt to determine if the data they trained on was available for purchase and then buy a legally purchased copy for training. That might cause them to run afoul of fair use doctrine in the US (not sure of other jurisdictions).

See these excerpts describing fair use for copying library materials [1] (many of these collections are being released by groups referring to themselves as libraries):

> Copying a complete work from the library collection is prohibited unless the work is not available at a “fair price.” This is generally the case when the work is out of print and used copies are not available at a reasonable price. If a work, located within the library’s collection, is available at a reasonable price, the library may reproduce one article or other contribution to a copyrighted collection or periodical issue, or a small part of any other copyrighted work, for example, a chapter from a book. This right to copy does not apply if the library is aware that the copying of a work (available at a fair price) is systematic. For example, if 30 different members of one class are requesting a copy of the same article, the library has reason to believe that the instructor is trying to avoid seeking permission for 30 copies.

> The copying, whether performed by the library or whether unsupervised by the library patron, cannot be for a commercial advantage. This means that the library (or a copying service hired by the library) cannot profit from the copying. In addition, the copying for the patron must be done for purposes of private study, scholarship, or research.

Nintendo is probably fine with letting the feature brick.
This is the crux of the issue. If courts find that AI draws like a human (at least for the purposes of copyright law), then you can only claim it infringed upon your work if it actually looks like your work was de-facto "traced"/copied by the AI and the output image only has small imperfections that don't qualify for fair use.
NYT WaPo and CNN all cheerlead us into wars in the middle east, same as Fox. They were slightly more subtle about it, but it was still obvious to anyone outside America's fucked up Overton window.

They're absolutely in the same category as Fox - corporate pro-war pro-fossil fuel anti-union entertainment propaganda, masked as news. Outside the narrow window of 'acceptable' debate they're essentially indistinguishable.

CNN and the NYT are covering the atrocities and war crimes in Palestine a little better than Fox. Sure. But do you know how many journalists have been fired from those companies, and from the Guardian and the BBC as well, for simply voicing mild support for Palestine? And how many more journalists have resigned, citing fucked up editorial policy?

It's simply gaslighting to say that these mouthpieces are "very good" on Palestine's suffering. It's offensively ignorant.
You are not missing anything: you are asking the key question in that process. We don’t have an answer.

As a society, we agree that you, a human, copying art you’ve seen is original (or at least derivative enough that it warrants a new copyright).

We agree that a photocopy machine, or rather a human operating one, is copying art in a way that is not creative enough to warrant a copyright — so the human goes to jail.

As a society, we have not agreed upon how transformative a “work” from a generative AI has to be to count as original, or even if it can. A recent decision claimed that no machine work without human effort would count — ignoring the effort to find good prompts, pick an image and edit it further. An AI is different because no much was “trained” to make art before AIs: some animals were (elephants famously), and who owns their work is tricky — there’s a case of a photo, a selfie actually, taken by a macaque that is really interesting in that regard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_disput...

My recommendation would be to have a similar system to what we have for music (and I think plays) where there are two or three “authors”: the person who wrote the score, optionally the person who wrote the lyrics, and the interpret: the singer. It gets really fun when you have orchestras, animals involved in making music, or sound-sampling like in RnB.

We could have original human authors and AI adaptors, each paid based on use. If I like your work, I could commission OpenAI to make “a portrait in the style of alistairSH” based on your DeviantArt work, but of my mother (whom you’ve never met), using photos that I’ve uploaded of her. I can pay OpenAI, who would pay you. Style vs. theme could be separated with current AI technology, although that could get just as complicated as every intellectual property process very fast.
You'd think there would be some long term benefit to fad diets around the lines of hunger suppression or helping folks better recognize when they're "full".

IMO, there's a psychosomatic angle for restrictive diets that is similar to a placebo.
To clarify, I didn’t mean “can keep their current job”. My thought was that this is a crime of greed: the kind of CEO who’s going to cut corners to save a buck is going to be as deterred by the prospect of never in their life being in authority or better off than working class but taxpayers are better off if that guy’s staying out of jail to pay his victims than being a pure cost in jail.

Well, not recently. That was from at the ChatGPT launch when they were still using a quick hack that made the client too-privileged, so more or less a year ago.

However, I definitely am wondering if they have poisoned the logits somehow. As long as the logits rank the tokens in order (are monotonic), preserving their utility for the suggested applications like ranking autocompletions, you presumably could screw with the magnitudes arbitrarily.
It was nice to see the Supreme Court reverse the quiet abrogation trend 3 years ago: https://www.npr.org/2020/07/09/889562040/supreme-court-rules...

The 5-4 ruling, Gorsuch writing for majority, is a really interesting read: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/18-9526_9okb.pdf

Essentially, both liberals and conservatives can agree that... if the United States entered into a treaty... and the United States government never explicitly overrode that treaty... then it still stands.

Which, fair, but still nice to see recognition even when the question has repercussions for the eastern half of Oklahoma, the state is opposed, and the facts are inconvenient.
And also, they're not eating out. This is a 100% vegetarian home cooked diet. At least for most Americans, even if there's literally no other mechanism in play, that's an absolutely massive change.

My UK based ISP provides static IPs by default (v4 & v6!). There's a few aiming at smaller niches that do.

We're relatively unique compared to a lot of countries though, where we have an infrastructure provider that serves basically the whole country with very good to tolerable internet (mostly) - Openreach.

Any ISP can sign up to use Openreach's network & a backhaul provider for providing services, and they usually get handover from their backhaul provider in London. Means we have a lot more small/niche ISPs that can still cover the entire country, and provide unique features - like static IPs or even blocks of static IPs.

There are alternative providers too (lots of 'alt-nets', and virgin media) - they're mostly not so open, though.
I worked with a project which to be compiled required years-old versions of esoteric tools, long-abandoned libs, unreadable scripts, and a lot of guesses (docs where written by someone who had very limited knowledge of English). It took weeks to re-create the environment locally, but it was still not the same thing vs the build machine (single), and produced occasionally different errors. Interestingly, this situation to some extent was deliberate: for some reason the project was hated by middle-level management, but they couldn't obtain permission to sunset it from tops, so essentially they were slowly asphyxiating it by not allocating time for fixes, upgrades, and automation
I don’t really understand the argument here anyway (although, as your typical commenter, I am reading this before actually reading the article).

Every day, I commit a huge number of non-criminal actions. So as long as I have some non-crimes, and I guess it doesn’t even need to be the majority under this standard, I’m fine to commit a bunch of crimes?
Copyright is new age nonsense that denies the chain of influence and inspiration that exists between all people. If you can create something sell it. If it can be easily recreated (or stored digitally) then it isn't yours.

Bits are not a bug.
The code just ignores variable declarations. All variables are 16-bit words.

It just hashes the variable name and uses twice the hash value as the address of the variable in memory

For functions instead it uses twice the hash to store and lookup the function address at compile time, dedicating the whole compiler data segment except it seems for ds:0 to that table.

Note that in segmented x86-16, the code (plus constants) and stack are in dedicated segments, and string functions used to write the generated code write to yet another segment selected by es.

This seems to be the best strategy for compiler code size, although obviously it's vulnerable to hash collisions and only supports global non-array variables.
This produces text.
I wish you the best of luck - not cynically. Especially when your kid can buy their own lunch at school (even if you packed one).

In my school district, they will NOT stop a kid from eating what they want to eat. Personally, I don't argue with that. They need to consume something so better it be something that they'll actually eat than nothing (which happens, trust me)
I agree with a lot of what you said. It's easy to look at what I wrote and conclude: don't introduce pouches, easy. Be extremely deliberate in what you put on the table, easy.

I don't disagree with those things in concept. I'd love to execute a process every day that is perfection with respect to ingredient quality, time-spent, food consumed, etc. But I don't know a lot of people who somehow do all of this flawlessly - perhaps none in fact.

Also, what I didn't say is that you weigh what you want to control, how you want to impose rules with how much stress and anxiety you're willing to deal with in the process.

Suppose your kid cries for 30 minutes straight because they really want a pouch vs. chickpea pasta you've put in front of them. At some point, is that anxiety-inducing event worth it? Or, can you compromise sometimes with a pouch that helps everyone (kids, adults) get something they want.

This was absolutely true for me up to this year. What changed?

I retired, and my chronic burnout started to recede (slowly). I realized that, for me, the issue was learning and remembering new systems were introducing a cognitive load that I just couldn't handle on top of the load I was carrying.

I know that's not directly helpful, but it may be worth looking at whether you are showing signs of burnout.
