> If I take a copyrighted song and remix it do I owe the artist a royalty? Yes.

I don't think anyone's saying that the output of the model should be subject to more lenient copyright standards than human creations. If you're selling a remix with substantial similarity to an existing song and it fails the fair use factors, then it'd already be infringement regardless of whether you made it with AI or by hand.

The question is: what about the songs that you've listened to, and potentially influenced you, but don't have substantial similarity to the remix? Do you also owe royalties on all of those? For humans the answer is no, but the law doesn't necessarily have to treat AI the same way.
I'm not supposed to read the F#?? Someone should tell the Fable guys
Yeah. They seem to work for me, too. There was a few weeks where one of my devices got trapped in the loop gp described and it was very frustrating. I am not using Cloudflare DNS.
Any time you try to do something complex you have to start with the state of the art at the beginning of development time; like in this case, you might have to use something not quite ready for prime time, hoping it will improve enough during development. If it doesn't, you have to roll your own, which is often hard to do since you didn't start out that way. I worked on a MMO game engine 10 years after it was released years too early, it was still loaded with horrific code and architecture that was hard to correct or improve since we still had to ship regularly. The engine was designed (if you can call it that) in 1998 and was entirely too complex for that era.

If you only stick to the mature tech, then you may wind up being potentially unable to even produce your (advanced) game. It's always a challenging tradeoff. As long as the game is playable and you make enough to continue improving you might be OK; but of course you might go belly up before you fix it enough.

By the time CS2 makes it to Mac, it might be improved enough to actually play!
The rendering pipeline for DOTS is incomplete.

The studio had to implement it.

Sounds serious enough to try something else, especially given Unreal has Nanite. I think on the ECS side they're lagging behind though
Charles Holland Duell, United States Commissioner of Patents from 1898 to 1901, was famously purported to say "everything that can be invented has been invented."

That is apocryphal, though. A thing he actually did say was:

"In my opinion, all previous advances in the various lines of invention will appear totally insignificant when compared with those which the present century will witness. I almost wish that I might live my life over again to see the wonders which are at the threshold."
While the complaints about performance are valid, I’m still having a blast with the game. Having an 11 month old means it’s hard to go deep into something like Cyberpunk since I only get short gaming bursts (ie 7:30 when she goes to bed until 8:30 when I turn off screens). Not enough to play a deep narrative game but plenty of time to expand out my industrial area, fix a highway interchange and figure out what’s going on with the tram line.
Maybe not perfectly framed, but the point that engineers don't have time to write tests is salient. Minor disagreement with this point though:

> Tests can only tell developers they made a mistake. There is no gain at that moment.

The value is locating the problem code faster, and that generally can't be done efficiently in production. Outside a testing environment, you rely on logs alone to debug, or if you're more proactive you might grab session data but that means potentially sensitive user data is being cached and passed around to the support/triage team. At a security minded organization this should be impossible or at least difficult.

I agree it's not worth chasing Test Driven Development until you're actually testing during development.

This is a real problem, and it falls squarely on management. Testing needs time and resources, it needs priority and planning.

That's the reason I started speaking at conferences, started an online testing training course specifically for software managers, and am currently writing a book on the subject.
A humans awareness is not constant. It waxes and wanes, even more so with cellphones in hand.

The status quo is indefensible so setting up moving unknowable goal posts for something to replace them doesn’t make sense to me.

This particular problem can be easily solved by cameras in the under carriage to make sure there aren’t humans shoved in there by other bad drivers. I wouldn’t mind making that a requirement across the board and moving on to the next challenge the unpredictability of human drivers throws at a repeatable robotic system.

There is no evidence that there is a magical different approach that will work better.
Huh. Stainless steel is like the perfect cooking surface for searing chicken and salmon. Cleanup is super easy, ten seconds with a steel wool and/or, unique among pans, you can put it in the dishwasher with zero worries.

Are you cool with JS frameworks?

If so, you can use a higher level of abstraction that takes care of the CSS for you. If you just want to mock something up, you can use a pre-built UI system / component framework and just put together UIs declaratively, without having to worry about the underlying CSS or HTML at all. Examples include https://mui.com/ and https://chakra-ui.com/ and https://ant.design/

Edit: MUI's template selection is awesome: https://mui.com/store/#populars Just choose one that's roughly what you need, and you can one-click deploy it (to Vecel or whatever) and then hook up each page to your real APIs as you need to. This gives you a very good starting place where the basic user flows and styling are all taken care of, and you can just make small tweaks as needed.

Really easy to put together a quick UI that way. (As a frontend dev, this is how I prefer to put together UIs whenever I can.)

----------------------------

MUI also has a low-code dashboard builder: https://mui.com/toolpad/

And Vercel (creators of Next.js) is betaing an AI generated UI: https://vercel.com/blog/announcing-v0-generative-ui

Or https://www.builder.io/

If you don't want to use a JS framework (and I don't blame you), Tailwind is the modern version of simple declarative UIs, but it's lower-level than the previous option. https://tailwindcss.com/

Oh, I see. You said "resulting code", that's why I thought otherwise.
I mean, why would you ever “let” them do that? Either they are doing a compulsory search or they aren’t getting permission.
Banks hide behind Bank Secrecy Act and other regulations in order to debank people. Chase closed my account, and the reason Chase gave: "Financial institutions have an obligation to know our customers and monitor transactions that flow through our customers' accounts. After careful consideration, we decided to close your account because of unexpected activity on these or another Chase account."

I didn't dispute any transactions, nor did I deposit any fraudulent checks, no check bounces, no overdrafts, no cash deposits, no wires, not an instance of disrespecting any Chase employee either on phone or in person. Yes, I used Zelle often, I deposited checks often. When people complain about debanking, many folks defend these banks, saying that there are good reasons for these banks to close (some transaction, etc).

Banks are heavily regulated, I understand. Regulators want to see a certain number of SAR and CTR filings based on the size of bank. If a bank has 1M accounts, regulators want to see a certain number of SAR/CTR filings, a certain number of account closures; regulators go hard on financial institutions, if the latter don't follow the industry average (#SARs, #CTRs, #closures). This has created a vicious loop: banks use machine-learning/AI to flag accounts; then, back office employees 95% of the time just close these accounts.

Welcome to the new debanking world. Chase and many others also monitor your political activity, social media, protests, etc. If they don't like you, they can close your account by simply stating that "we have an obligation to know our customers; after careful consideration, we decided to close your account". When banks decide to close your checking accounts, beware that they also close your credit cards (esp Chase is notorious for this).

But they are also using LOD... as per your article [0]. So it's quite possible (you have the source, go look) that they call this lib with the vertex buffer of the mesh in question and get back an LOD3 mesh that's decimated and simplified but with the projected UV's. This is kinda how Unity wants folks to do "AAA" in Unity. Use a high resolution model and decimate LOD's in real-time like Unreal Engine does. Only, it doesn't work half the time. It requires that the original high poly mesh be properly UV wrapped and not vertex shaded. So to further throw gas on the fire. It's entirely possible instaLOD is the source of a lot of these issues. Combined with what you found in the rendering stages.

Just wear a respirator if you do, that dust isn’t good for you :)
Ok, then the answer is "they do use a slightly different version of the tool than what you learnt at school. That version is more rigorous (which is why they like it) and in that version 1 is neither a prime nor a composite. In the version you learnt at school you're told that 1 is not a prime and you can't really say that it's composite either, but no clear explanation of why it is not a prime; in the version that mathematicians use there's a name for what 1 is, and a rule to find things like it in other number systems."
Git internally identifies authors by email addresses. Github doesn't display the addresses in the web UI, but they're still present in the repository and can be extracted. Github can't prevent this because the author is part of the identity of the commit -- rewriting it would change commit IDs.
I'm not sure I would agree that banking is optional in today's society.

Canada has laws[1] intended to ensure access to banking, with $10M fines for violations. Not familiar with them myself and wondering how effective they are, and whether anyone has sued and won. It's maybe a bit ironic considering how the government here improperly locked a lot of people out of their funds during the trucker protests (the inquiry found collateral damage where people completely uninvolved were affected).

Doing both is good. Integration tests tells you that something is broken. Unit tests tells you where it broke.

Uncensorable until you get sanctioned like Tornado Cash? Or this is also about Monero?

What would be the difference between SBF being an effective altruist and doing fraud to hoard wealth until his dying day when he would turn it all into a public good, and saying he was and doing everything up until the last step?

Based on this 2016 Google Brain article, “Zero-Shot Translation with Google’s Multilingual Neural Machine Translation System”, I assumed Google Translate directly translated languages:

https://blog.research.google/2016/11/zero-shot-translation-w...

But I just tested some end-to-end translations of some random simple sentences from German and Spanish Wikipedia. The translations are identical whether I translate them directly or via English as an intermediate step. This didn’t prove that Google Translate is using English (or some other interlingua), but at least demonstrates doesn’t not use one. :)

German example:

de =
Wikipedia ist ein Projekt zum Aufbau einer Enzyklopädie aus freien Inhalten.

de:en =
Wikipedia is a project to build an encyclopedia of free content.

en:es =
Wikipedia es un proyecto para construir una enciclopedia de contenido gratuito.

de:es =
Wikipedia es un proyecto para construir una enciclopedia de contenido gratuito.

Spanish example:

es =
Wikipedia es una enciclopedia libre, políglota y editada de manera colaborativa.

es:en =
Wikipedia is a free, polyglot and collaboratively edited encyclopedia.

en:de =
Wikipedia ist eine freie, polyglotte und gemeinschaftlich bearbeitete Enzyklopädie.

es:de =
Wikipedia ist eine freie, polyglotte und gemeinschaftlich bearbeitete Enzyklopädie.
The developers of Cities Skylines has less than 50 employees in total, it's a small developer based in Finland (Colossal Order), I doubt they have those sort of issues at that scale, that's usually something that happens with medium/large companies.

No love for shortening, lard, or good old bacon grease (if you're eating eggs you're likely eating bacon as well)?
Yes, that. It’s short for “level of detail”.
Well, yes, and that's not some circumvention of measures like this, but the intent of these sorts of anti-competitive laws.

Amazon can use the same data they've been using all this time, but they must not put themselves in a special position in acquiring that data. If they want to publish their sales data for free or for a price that they themselves pay, that's fine, as long as others can also get the data.

Communication: 3 Steps That Transform Sibling Conflict into Sibling Camaraderie
> Alan Wake 2 getting phenomenal reviews in the face of terrible performance and game breaking bugs

There is no terrible performance and the game breaking bugs are very rare (as in none of my ~10 friends who bought the game ran into any of them on their first playthrough). Yes it is a demanding game but it is also one of the best looking games ever made.

Yes the game is demanding if you max out everything but as it runs at 30/60 fps in quality/performance modes on PS5/Xbox Series consoles it does run at those (or better) framerates on PCs very easily.

Only case when you get bad performance is when you use incompatible hardware (old graphics cards without mesh shader support)
Sounds like every other enterprise software platform. Unity has reach the IBM level of “no one gets fired for choosing X,” even though X only makes the business people happy.
Traditionally that is a thing that is done by modelers for video games yes.
rmlint has a neat feature where it can write the checksum to the file's xattr (along with the mtime when it's calculated) so that it doesn't need to recalculate it in future passes.

If the file comes up as a dupe candidate again (when its size matches another file's) and if its current mtime matches the one in the xattr, then it will use the hash from the checksum.

In practice, I've only had this break a couple times. In both cases, it was because it scanned an incomplete download from a tool configured to set mtime to the server's Last-Modified date. When the download was later finished, the downloader backdated the mtime again. So the mtime matches but the content no longer matches the checksum. So you end up with a false negative on the completed file until that attribute is cleared. Which I'm ok with.
This is how EA works. It wouldn’t be maximally effective to donate the money now, would it? Compounding interest says you should hoard it until your dying day and only then invest in a charitable cause.
Talking about Unity, not Colossal Order.
Sorry, where's the assumption it's using kubernetes coming from? All I see in the response is nginx which doesn't imply anything k8s. The blog linked from the page doesn't mention k8s either (nor nginx).

That said, you can run an ingress for a service that's just an externalname reference with the right annotations depending on your ingress controller and I'm pretty sure it'd just work.
How about, instead: people who value the information you published republish it on their own sites.

It's pretty obvious that as a species, we don't "do" static memory, if its not constantly being recopied or reinvented, it's because its something we'd rather forget. All the arguments about the shift to ephemeral storage media showed that.
I mean, you'd typically rinse it pretty thouroughly, I doubt a lot of micro anything remains. I'm not sure pan cleaning is a significant source of overall micro plastics emissions, though I'm open to it.
Today, I think it's also possible to work in higher levels and not need to know the ins and outs of CSS as much anymore. They're more "nice-to-haves" rather than "must-haves", and you can usually Google/StackOverflow your way out of rabbit holes as you encounter them, not needing to learn all of it at once beforehand.

I'm a frontend dev who grew up with CSS, but some of my coworkers started after that era and still contribute valuable work. A lot of it is in higher levels of abstraction now, such as component libraries (whether built in-house or third-party or, often, a forked/extended version of an open-source one). The CSS is already mostly defined for you by these systems and for the most part they're fine.

Yes, your UIs end up looking a bit generic, like the modern version of "just another Bootstrap page", but I'd argue this is a good thing: that FE devs can now spend time building business logic and user flows instead of (sigh) centering divs across three browsers.

Unity, not cities skylines.
All sorts of industries use web tech to render UIs. Even SpaceX used it in Dragon. People just have preconceptions and biases, and gamers are horrendously intolerant of everything and anything that doesn’t fit their world view of “how things should be”.
I was reading some other replies that suggested using something to close all tabs and bookmark them automatically and I had the same reluctance as you do because I also group up my tabs.

However, this makes me think: what if there was a tree-style-tab extension that let you convert a tree into a bookmark folder? Then I wouldn't feel bad at all about closing half or more of my tabs.

This could be optionally combined with some sort of bookmark/page archiving service so you can be extra-sure that content will be waiting for you if you ever decide to look at it later.
That's a huge misrepresentation of what happened to SimCity. EA released a incredibly user-hostile version of SimCity (always online, microtransations and more) that almost no one liked, and Cities: Skylines was released around that time too.
English would be fine as a lingua franca if you could reasonably infer pronunciation from spelling and spelling from pronunciation, like e.g. in Spanish.
EA’s primary philosophical foundation is utilitarianism. Utilitarianism in its standard form only cares about outcomes that maximize global utility for humanity. It does not accept any deontological ethics.

Utilitarianism is evil because it allows evil actions to be taken as long as that maximizes utility, thus justifying the unjustifiable. Utilitarianism is wrong because it is still evil to commit fraud even to save human lives. However utilitarianism is popular for people with power, because they can use it to justify their evil actions as for the greater good. Even if they are sincere, their actions are still evil; even if SBF succeeded instead of failing, and sincerely wanted to stop climate change, he would still and rightfully be a criminal.
> It's not that "using web UI" is the reason why this game has awful performance, that's more like a bellwether for the studio's priorities.

All it shows is that optimizing something that was already fast enough was not a priority. But why would you want it to be?
I'm enjoying it too. It's fairly similar to the previous one, and have encountered a few simulation bugs, but I'm happy with it. I'm able to run it okay at 4K.
I imagine lots of backend developers never really thought about what it actually takes to build complex, responsive, performant and visually appealing UIs and how the web platform just so happened to have matured for decades to make all of that as painless as possible. Last time I saw that reaction was someone learning about how SpaceX is using it for their flight controls in the Dragon capsule.
It's already over run by tourists, except now only tourists who can afford to look the right way on social media are allowed in.
200 lines of Nim [1] seems to run about 9X faster than the 8000 lines of C in fdupes on a little test dir I have. If you need C, I think jdupes [2] is faster as @TacticalCoder points out a couple of times here. In my testing, `dups` is usually faster than `jdupes`, though (but usually only ~1.5..2.0X faster in hot cache settings -- for this problem "really slow" usually comes from IO, though).

The teeth certainly aren't helping anything, and something has to make a decision not to render them somewhere, and they're wasting disk and RAM if nothing else.

Also think that's a distraction from my point, so just pretend I wrote "100,000 vertex logpiles" instead of teeth.

The teeth are just the most obviously useless unoptimized thing they shipped that nobody had the time/will to cleanup before launch.
> There is zero evidence that [stealing] was his intent.

The federal jury seems to have disagreed, finding him guilty on all charges, all of which require intent. As do his co-conspirators who testified to their fraud.

This is such a bizarre take; this was one of the most lopsided financial prosecutions of all time and you're out here saying it had no foundation in fact at all?
