> Reverting to common law? I'm not sure what you mean there.

Maybe you're not familiar with the term? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law

> The defining characteristic of common law is that it arises as precedent. Common law courts look to the past decisions of courts to synthesize the legal principles of past cases

Spying on allies, and all that espionage entails—including bribery and blackmail—is done by every government in the world. It has always been done, and will continue to be forever. It is absolutely par for the course. Remember that ally does not mean friend, and that friend doesn't even really mean friend in the context of international relations and realpolitik.

I have a similar experience. Though for me i didn't evade them, i just didn't visit for a ~week. When i eventually tried again, suddenly it wasn't a problem again.

Wondered if i was part of some a/b and they rolled back? no idea. Either way i'll happily drop YT if they try that shit without giving me a sane "no ad" tier lol.
If people break a law so easily, it can't be part of a social contract, because the people don't support it.

IP, and specifically copyright are fairly new legal additions. The redefinition of time limited copyright to something extending past normal lifetimes especially so. EULAs and DRM enforcing copyright beyond book-style possibilities is new, and ongoing as we speak.

I'd say we see the public at large rejecting part of the law because it is not consistent with the social contract in their heads.

Powerfull entities trying to force the law outside the social contract's support is working, but not completely, and that's what's tearing society apart.
We used BuildJet cache for months. It’s possible it was always broken and I only noticed a few days ago. I tried both and neither actually cached data. I even tried forking, and upgrading, the BuildJet variant to no avail.

I spent a solid couple hours trying to fix this before moving to WarpBuild.
Fair point, but I imagine disconnecting is mainly to avoid live HV wiring throughout the vehicle, and thus reducing risk of catastrophic shorts or arcing.

If the aux supply is near or in the battery, leaving that connected would while the rest of HV is interrupted would probably not cause any notable increase in risk.

At the same time, vehicle fires have been caused by a shorted auxillary battery (I have personally experienced an entire industrial building burn down because the 12V battery in a parked ICE car shorted and went up in flames), so I imagine only having one battery to worry about is a risk reduction.
Because they earn enough per head to hire on-site in expensive locations. "Remote" seems to usually just mean not doing that, i.e. avoiding the costs of North American metro areas, seemingly usually out of financial necessity.

> Unfortunately many of these trade-offs are presented financially to kids; that doing what you love may result in a financially challenging life, and ignore the satisfaction and mental health benefits that would derive from such a choice

While not strictly true, it’s very much true in the general sense. Many of our passions don’t make us money. Like it or not, living in society requires quite a lot of money.

Struggling financially puts a strain on mental health, job satisfaction, relationships, etc. It dominates your experiences, your thoughts, your food, and ultimately your lifespan. It’s *hard*.

“Work hard”, “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”, “my passion is my work”, blah blah blah. These extremes taint the thought process of our children. As a society we poisoned the minds of multiple generations.

We _should_ be teaching children that their job does not define them. That “do what you love” is unrealistic. Do what allows you to be comfortable and do what you love. Will you have be able to humblebrag on social media? Probably not. Will you be in the top 10% financially? Probably not. Will you not struggle financially and have time to do the things you actually love (family, friends, hobbies, whatever)? Hopefully! That’s the goal.

Godot

OpenToonz

GIMP

I hope all these major open source projects reach their potential. Blender is already basically there, and I'm expecting the rest to catch up eventually. Even GIMP -- it really just needs some TLC and actual funding and it could easily start on the notoriety/attention path Godot's been on for a few years now.
I suggest staying away from earthquake areas. You might survive the earthquake only to be "rescued" by one of these guys.
Also, very sadly, but not uncommonly, the child may not get to enjoy the fruits of the focus on the future, because they may die. In my life:

- A girl in my class aged 11 was killed by a bus.

- A boy I knew aged 17 killed himself and girlfriend by driving into a tree.

- A competitor at work aged 27 had a bad cold, went to the doctor and was rushed to hospital due to suspected Liver cancer and died on the operating table that afternoon.

- Good friend at aged 29 A got a brain disease and died over three years.

- Good friend at aged 31 got leukemia, recovered, got it back a year later and had an allergic reaction to the chemo and died.

The last three were all high flyers - two or three degrees, published etc. They had (like me) sacrificed a lot to get where they had and were just (at that time) beginning to reap some rewards. The last fella in particular had just bought a house, got a steady girl who was good for him and had had an "inflection" type promotion. All for nothing.

Teach children to enjoy it while they can. Maybe that gives them 9 happy years, or maybe 90.

He misses the point. If air was like coal, it would require extraction effort to both us and deliver it, and significant capital to do it at scale. If air was like water, it would require significant effort just to keep it clean enough to use without a near-immediate, acute, negative reaction. Imagine every person staking claim of water as part of the "public." It wouldn't last very long. Nearby where I live, they had to drain an entire reservoir for a municipality because they caught someone sneaking in past a fence to urinate and defecate into it.

Now, since pollution spreads so far and so quickly in air, he may have a different point, whereby the corps freely ruin the air, and then could charge for purified, usable air. The root problem there is the pollution, not the purification---which takes effort and capital to perform at scale.

Tressell is just another person who takes real problems, the depression of the poor, and suggests that a simple fix is to just "don't let them do this," as if anything in the world is this simple.
At least it's better than "GIMP". ;)

At large companies, it's unavoidable to a certain degree. In my case, it's mostly East Coast to Europe though which is pretty manageable. Asia to US is definitely tough.

As a senior IC formerly in a similar situation, I’ll affirm this is brilliantly written and even deeper than it looks.

I’ll add: Many of the Indian ICs I worked with were fine, but there was at least one manager who was an absolute disaster and the American executives had very little ability to fix the situation. Given that financial capital is here, executives will be here, and so some part of the org chart has to bridge across cultures, which is going to be a slight friction that compounds over the years of the project.

None of this is surprising or even atypical for CEOs.

OTOH, if Sam is so horrible, why did all the employees threaten to quit (we're told) if he were not returned to his CEO role? I've definitely worked for CEOs who did not inspire that type of loyalty. Most/all of them.

What I still can't tell is whether Sam Altman is a leader, visionary, and ultimately responsible for OpenAI's success, or merely a manipulative self-promoter and upward manager, taking credit for Ilya's creation.

Consider a service which promised to scan your genome, send you the data file, and delete the sample, and their copy of the file on confirmation of your receipt. This is still vulnerable to dishonesty, but only transiently.

There's nothing logically impossible about such a service, and I'd trust it modulo actual red flags. Too bad afaik nobody's offering it. Once they're archiving their copy I just don't see how they can credibly promise privacy in the longer term.

They actively evade it, when I recently reviewed a product to tell them politely that the seller packed a much cheaper tablet model in the expected model box, an item with no serial number, and added photos, Amazon quickly blocked the review. Contacting seller without providing a serial number, which again the tablet doesn't have, disallowed return. Great scam.
Never said it was ok! Just saying that there are people willing to pay this much, so it costs this much. I'd very much like to buy a 40GB GPU for this to, but at these prices this is not happening - I'd have to turn it into a business to justify this expense, but I just don't feel like it.

Personally, I suggest losing mice entirely; go to a trackball. I'm fond of this one specifically [1]; but go with what fits your hand and arm and doesn't require you to exert painful efforts to use.

I became a computer addict as a teenager, and was aware that I'd likely be facing autoimmune arthritis problems later. I paid attention to good keyboard, never used a mouse, and have 35+ years of daily heavy terminal use without RSI type problems. The arthritis has arrived and is biting harder now, but most of that i can deal with by slowing down and paying more attention to accuracy. Back to hunt and peck.

Edit: "stretching" ... kneading dough or big wads of silly putty has helped me sometimes. that "cracking the knuckles" feeling in all the little bones that go through the wrist and palm is hard to achieve otherwise.

I would say that this is not proper comparison.

It would be proper if iMessage would be the only messaging service phone users can use and installation and usage of the others are restricted.

But anyway, my whole comment is about making commercial messenger with the expense of other product (aka. backend services of Apple) without permission, cooperation or anything else. There aren't official public APIs for iMessage other than for Business use.

I'm working on a modern replacement for Howler.js called Cacophony[0], and I found these insights about WebAudio to be quite valuable.

In smaller LLMs it has been demonstrated that purely synthetic datasets can make a model 5x more efficient. So a 1.5B model can score like a 7B model. The model is Phi-1.5 from Microsoft.

But you can also empower the LLM, it can use more tokens, chain of thought, multiple rounds of LLM inference, use other specialized models, use tools, execute code, use search, and have a human in the loop. Does that remind you of anything? Yes, "OpenAI GPTs", they are the empowered LLM environments that can create data superior to LLM alone.

The general recipe is LLM+something extra = smarter than LLM. That something extra is usually a simulation or code execution or some real world interaction. This generates LLM error examples and feedback to learn to fix them in the next iteration. It is targeted training data.

It isn't a debate. You're demanding access to a walled garden on the grounds that you don't think the wall should be there.

You're entitled to use or not use iMessage per your preference. You are not entitled to use of iMessage on a platform of your choosing. Where do we stop this? Is Apple then required to create iMessage clients for Windows Phone as well? Perhaps a Blackberry client too? Maybe a website?

If you want to share an iMessage account and all the rest of the ecosystem benefits Apple provides, then get an iPhone. That's how you do that. And you can still absolutely talk to Android users once you have an iPhone, because the iPhone provides the essential middle-agent between iMessage and SMS that enables you to do that. Apple has done this forever and has designed Messages to degrade gracefully: you are not barred from texting anyone who doesn't have an iPhone, instead your message is converted to SMS completely seamlessly and sent from your phone even if you actually sent it from a Mac or iPad.

The endless moaning and whining from people not in their ecosystem about iMessage is so, so fucking tired at this point: from the accusations of platform lockout to the bitching about the fact that SMS messages are green instead of blue, on and on. If you guys are SO HARD UP for that iMessage goodness then just pony up for an iPhone, holy shit. Or at the very least, go bitch up Google's tree so they'll develop a decent messaging client that won't be abandonware within 6 months.

"Long-Term, High-Dose Vitamin B6/B12 Use Associated With Increased Lung Cancer Risk Among Men" (2023) https://cancer.osu.edu/news/long-term-high-dose-vitamin-b6-b... :

> Risk was further elevated in male smokers taking more than 20 milligrams of B6 or 55 micrograms of B12 a day for 10 years. Male smokers taking B6 at this dose were three times more likely to develop lung cancer. Male smokers taking B12 at such doses were approximately four times more likely to develop the disease compared to non-users.

Wait what? China as an ethnic state? That would require a pretty large stretch. Europe is populated by Europeans, but saying it's an ethnic state is not very useful. China is a huge country with many ethnic groups with their own identities. The Han may dominate but the country functions more like a colonial empire.

Calling France an ethnic state is saying the Normans are the same group as the Provençal. It's like doing the same in Spain; a sure way to lose new friends. France and Spain are also old empires.

Japan is something else. The description makes sense there. Maybe also for the Nordic countries of Europe.
Yes, but that's true of IP, too. And the importance of property laws in general doesn't make them less of an abstraction.
Correlating espionage to GDP/economy is probably the most uneducated take on the matter.

Smaller countries tend to have massively outsided foreign espionage apparatus - see Japanese industrial espionage in the 1980’s, the French playing silly buggers globally, the Chinese basically boosting their entire economy off the back of intelligence collection, etc.

I didn't call anyone dumb. Why did you jump to that?

If I translate "redneck" to my native language, the result is roughly "someone who lives away from civilization", "lacking higher education", "anti-progressive and behind the times". Those are exactly what I was aiming for, as that's the kind of person that will (by definition, essentially) have the most & worst IT support issues.
