No, it's not at all normal-- when directed at the government of the target country it can be a threat to the sovereignty of that country.

After all, the expulsions are happening for a reason. The Spanish clearly do not see it as you do.

It might be possible for the US to avoid many consequences of this kind of thing due to its clout, and I can see that as something which would make it feel normal from a US point of view, but from the other side I imagine that it feels like someone trying to infiltrate your government to do things against your interests and to harm you-- something warranting a very high level of concern, comparable to a planned coup.

> piracy is robbing other people of their labour.

That's a coherent position, but it is also perfectly reasonable to argue that it's not because you have a copy and have not removed the original.

Edit: Note that this doesn't inherently make piracy okay, since it may deprive the owner of revenue or other benefits; there's a difference between objecting to piracy and saying that it's exactly theft.

Seems fine to me. In fact, it seems way better than most docs. I don't get the issue you're having with this.
I've taken course work at 6+ different universities, and in my experience different groups of international students have very different perspectives on what is cheating vs. collaboration. I think it's likely attributed to the western ideal of the individual vs. the collective.

Meta makes $ from ads. Targeted ads for consumers. Is the play more better targeting with AI somehow?

""Altman — a revered mentor, and avatar of the AI revolution — had been psychologically abusive, the employees alleged, creating pockets of chaos and delays at the artificial-intelligence start-up, according to two people familiar with the board's thinking who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters. The company leaders, a group that included key figures and people who manage large teams, mentioned Altman's allegedly pitting employees against each other in unhealthy ways, the people said.

Although the board members didn't use the language of abuse to describe Altman's behavior, these complaints echoed some of their interactions with Altman over the years, and they had already been debating the board's ability to hold the CEO accountable. Several board members thought Altman had lied to them, for example, as part of a campaign to remove board member Helen Toner after she published a paper criticizing OpenAI, the people said.""
The difference between the "West" and the rest isn't as large as it used to be. There are good companies in UK, US, Germany etc. to be sure, but they aren't paying that much compared to costs of living (esp. when you account for real estate). US Silicon Valley companies are probably an exception, because exorbitant salaries make moving there worth it even in spite of ridiculous costs of living. But, is Germany or UK that much better than China or Malasya? I don't know enough about Asia to say one way or the other, but they (UK/Germany) certainly aren't neccessarily better than Poland (a country I know), from a programmer's perspective.
Who is to say the future will "remain this way" for engineers? When will it become more of a commodity?

I mean, sure, we shouldn't harass anyone.

But if they're working 12 hour days, and pinging me on Slack at 7pm, they're the ones harassing me. If they're producing 5 times the lines of code that I am because they're workaholics, thus causing me to spend half my day playing catch-up to their unreasonable schedule, that's also not great.
godot is a pretty unique name, tho
Great. Glad to see we're still world leaders at shooting ourselves in the foot. It makes sense to regulate AI use in critical infrastructure and flat out outlaw use of AI to manipulate public opinion, but that's where it should have stopped.
> The current legislation is bad, because it tries to regulate the technology, not how it is used.

That's not what the EU regulation does. As an example, High Risk Machine Translation will be regulated no matter how you do it. The standard underlying the EU's AI Act explicit mention that AI system can be anything from rule-based to machine learning and mention some other AI methods. The regulation is on task/usage not on the technology.

Edit: "High Risk" in my example refers to the usage
Amazon, Microsoft AI is in the business of training Olympians and NFL players
Some of this is pretty bad.

-> Could we see a second firing???

""The new complaints triggered a review of Altman's conduct during which the board weighed the devotion Altman had cultivated among factions of the company against the risk that OpenAI could lose key leaders who found interacting with him highly toxic. They also considered reports from several employees who said they feared retaliation from Altman: One told the board that Altman was hostile after the employee shared critical feedback with the CEO and that he undermined the employee on that person's team, the people said...

The complaints about Altman's alleged behavior, which have not previously been reported, were a major factor in the board's abrupt decision to fire Altman on Nov. 17, according to the people. Initially cast as a clash over the safe development of artificial intelligence, Altman's firing was at least partially motivated by the sense that his behavior would make it impossible for the board to oversee the CEO.""
No, both parties get value. Suppose a user would receive 1 utility for donating $1 to some cause in a traditional fashion (e.g., giving the charity money directly). Using this platform and with an OmniMatch of 25%, the user will effectively donate $1.25 for the cost of $1 and accordingly get 0.25 extra utility. The user gets surplus utility no matter what. The platform, on the other hand, needs to be careful in what markets it creates and how it sets OmniMatch, in order to make money.

I’m less concerned about the supply of handymen inflating and more concerned about demand falling. If AI really does replace a huge portion of the people with the money to hire handymen and plumbers and the property to need them where do they get the work from? More people will DIY out of necessity even if the results are worse because they won’t have another option and fewer people will have the property to maintain in the first place.
And if you don’t, who cares. Failing at 23 isn’t fatal and probably teaches you a lot more than mediocre success.

The forced ads on DVDs remains an important inflection point in the rise of digital media, I think. Early on one of the most common points in favour mentioned by those advocating for digital-only media was that you simply weren't required to sit through advertisements.

I personally installed VLC for a number of folks simply because it allowed them to watch DVDs without advertisements. It was a meaningful draw.

Then Netflix came and offered a low-barrier service with a decent catalog and, importantly, no advertisements. I'm of the impression that the broadcasters and studios have hated that aspect of it the most, and are hell bent to return to forced advertisement views.
Child safety groups and prosecutors criticize encryption of Facebook/Messenger
Part of the way I explain this is the amount of overhead in a company or position. Say you have 20 hours of coordination, planning and meetings/week, and 20 hours of direct work. If you work 50 hours you know increase how much development you are doing by 50% by only working 25% more hours. Now it the organization can do the same by cutting overhead and meetings but that is usually not up to one high performance contributor.

Like you said the impact of a top contributor doing 50% more work can be really large, entire new systems can be built, key features launched. It can get you promoted, but you definitely won’t get a 50% raise.

The model itself looks very promising to me, but it raises a lot questions and issues, starting with impact on neighborhoods and multifamily buildings and compliance with existing housing and zoning regulations. I'm not an expert on housing matters, but I'd expect the company to face an uphill battle on both of those fronts.

As with anything the devil is in the details - The word “tell” there is doing a lot of work.

Does it mean “The AI should not have any bias towards any race”

Or does it mean “The AI should not be able to distinguish whatsoever between two races”

To me, the phrasing above “AI should not be able to tell” sounds like the latter, which is drastically wrong and I suspect difficult to prove.

I think most people would agree it should not have bias, but it’s important that in the wording of the law we don’t eliminate functional stuff that’s important - ie being able to determine race - for example there are certain medical conditions that affect different races at different rates, so the ability to distinguish is an important factor in analysis.

I see three primary differences between HashiCorp Vault and OpenBao:

1. License: BSL vs. MPLv2.

2. Development model: cathedral vs. bazaar.

3. Maturity: production vs. barely started.

It sounds to me like you don't care about the license, trust cathedral more than bazaar, and value the maturity of the incumbent Vault project. If you're currently a Vault user, I would stay the course for now.

I don't think there's any particular mistrust of HashiCorp in the sense that they will compromise your security, either deliberately or incompetently. However, there is an awareness that their interests aren't necessarily aligned with their customers'.

Trading off satisfaction/mental health benefits with the very real stress of "a financially challenging life" is something I am constantly confronted with when I look at our son's life (now 34).

But when he doesn't even earn enough to pay for a place to live, has no savings, no real future prospects of anything changing ...

> Of course, but since the Steam model works so well one wonders why everybody else is stumbling along instead of "just" copying it.

Origin, Blizzard, uPlay et al failed to challenge Steam largely because they lack both features and catalog; it's not clear they even intended to take on Steam, because of the lack of content from other publishers.

EGS is worth special attention because it both has content from other publishers and has dumped considerable cash into the goal of unseating Steam. I think it comes down to features: the EGS store has generally been a sub-par experience, and they purposefully refused to implement features like Community Scores, Forums, and other metasocial features that make Steam what it is.

They underestimate the value of player reviews, community scoring, forums, guides, workshop and so on. Even if most of users of most games don't avail themselves of those features, they're important features for retaining the most die-hard of users; who in turn form the core of the social draw to use Steam.
