I don't get how it can work. So they make the exclusion zone outside of the fence, not inside. Then they would need to make another fence around this exclusion zone. Then peaceful protesters destroy the old fence, and we are back to square 0.

I was amazed to discover, a few months ago, that iPeng is still under active development!

I went to set the alarm on my Squeezebox Boom one night and the time picker widget was completely broken. By the next week they'd pushed out an update to fix it.

That kind of dedication in a developer is fantastic to see.
Payment-processing companies for credit-cards typically take less than 2% of the paid amount, also capped with a maximum fees in the low single digit $ for larger payment amounts. That is "not greedy" in my reckoning, and it pays for all of the hardware and software to make your credit card effective and secure.
Taking 30% as gate-keeping lordship rent is greedy, it treats customers and merchants as serfs of the Apple/Google kingdom.
Just sayin'
>Web push notification don't need Apple, Google, Microsoft or Ubuntu between the web app and you.

They do. To implement "web push", each web browser vendor has their own backend server to handle notification subscriptions[1][2].

- Mozilla Firefox uses their server at "push.services.mozilla.com"

- Google Chrome uses their server "fcm.googleapis.com"

- Apple Safari uses "api.push.apple.com"

- MS Edge uses their Windows Notification API server

> Re bombing: Using unopposed air power to wreck civil infrastructre is pretty much the definition of terror bombing

It isn't done to wreck civil infrastructure, it's done to attack Hamas that is cynically using that civil infrastructure for itself.

> The difference between an air strike resulting in 20 colleteral casualties and a suicide bomber (which Hamas hasn't used so far if I am not mistaken) doing the same thing is the means and available resources.

Well the intent is a big difference too. Trying to kill civilians on purpose vs. air striking valid military targets.

Though yes of course, if Hamas had the means of bombing Israel with something stronger than what it's using now, no doubt it would do so. Imagine that they ever get those means - a rocket that Iron Dome can't stop for example - the direct result of that would be Israel being forced to attack Gaza with far more force.

Also, Hamas not using suicide bomers? Are you kidding? They've been using them for dozens of years in order to disrupt peace processes, among other things. Even after October 7th, there have been additional terror attacks that Hamas has claimed credit for (though I think it was stabbings, not a suicide bomber specifically, not sure.)

Oh and it will cost them $1Bn to develop. Then they'll open it up to the internet and spam your phone with instructions to go spend money at the dealers again.

I was a hardcodre user of notion, but it was super slow in the intial days. I was mainly using it for note taking, temporary copy pasta and to store code snippets. Felt like notion is a bit of an overkill and built a local first app that runs on the browser. Stores everything in locally in the indexedDB and is super fast to load. Check it out https:///snipp.in. Which is now being used by most of my engineering friends who know me, it's also open source.

Also, while working on maps, felt there weren't any good alternative to GeoJSON editor online so built something by spending hours, it's one of the best GeoJSON Editors out there which is free to use https://krata.app

I don't think it has been conclusively decided that model weights are "just" a database. On the contrary, they are likely a derived work from millions of different sources for which the creator doesn't have a license or for which the licenses have requirements (like CC). In most European countries, as I understand there is no general fair use doctrine but only specific exceptions for citations, satire, libraries etc.. Regarding the output, people might try to claim that the "height of creation" is small, e.g. something is obvious and not copyrightable, but that is going to fail because of the immense resources needed to train such a model.

So in Europe the problem is not the copyrightability of the model which is certainly a protected work in its own right, it is the copyrightedness of the sources. I think this is one of the reasons why people release their models as "open source" (which is a misnomer), because they could never uphold a copyright claim in court due to the muddy sources.

I work in software for the educational sector, and we frequently get requests from people who want to use ChatGPT etc., but can't, and one of their greatest concerns is the provenience of the training data. What we are going to need is either a LLM trained on properly licensed sources (unlikely), or a new law that states that processing copyrighted material into a LLM is legal.

That's actually what I mean, YouTube polices ads based on how controversial it may be, it means they care. Probably because it may hurt their viewership, or drive off other advertisers.

And they don't seem to do it to comply with some laws, or making it more kid friendly since, as you said, sports betting gets a pass, even if it is absolutely "adult" and maybe even illegal in some countries. Obviously, scams are illegal too.

It just mean they think scams don't give them enough of a bad reputation to police against, which is weird do me, one would think that reputable brands wouldn't want to appear next to scammers.

When Israel controls the food intake of a population (The Gaza Diet) through a complete blockade, Israel doesn't get to claim they withdrew or respect the sovereignty of the Palestinian people.

Israel tried to do in Gaza what they did in the West Bank. Carve it up, control key resources, create settlements through terrorism and encroach daily on Palestinian territory.

Their settler-colonial crimes are well documented in the West Bank but Israel didn't have enough people and resources at the time to carry crimes both in the West Bank and Gaza.

Ah yes its kind of like a watermark, i considered watermarking but thought its nicer for people unwatermarked.

Actually droped any images that had watermarks from the training data too so it shouldnt generate watermarks.

There was nothing hypothetical about a nuclear weapon at that time - it "simply" hadn't been made but that it can be made within a rather finite time was very clear. There are a lot of hypotheticals about creating AGI and existential risk from A(G)I. If we are talking about the plethora of other risks from AI, then, yes, not all hypothetical.
I am probably from a different time, before the advent of blogs, where journalists were not half-carpet/half-tongue creatures just reading a script and asking CEOs "what is your favourite playable character?", but this article is just a scandal, there is no question that upsets the CEO, I would bet everything that I have, that if 30 years ago a CEO would be in front of some journalist saying "We want to make the world better", the journalist would have pointed out the ways the CEO's own company makes the world worser
I don't disagree that they are unsafe - but I'm more inclined to blame touchscreens as a whole for taking attention off the road, rather than bugginess of the software, when generally the built in car system tends to be more buggy than Android Auto or Apple Carplay.

Would love to live in Copenhagen but it doesn't seem particularly easy unless you're prepared to marry (which my GF might have a problem with, given she wants to go too) or get a job in Denmark (I have existing international clients and an Estonian company).

Would have no issues with starting a Danish company and transferring to using that and paying Danish tax but not really interested in working for a random Danish company just to qualify to live there. But that's not one of the options.

I'll just have to settle for visiting frequently.
Why are you comparing Steam to a payment processing gateway? Payment processing is just one small part of the services Steam offers. Of course a platform that offers a lot more is going to charge a lot more.
Great examples.

Is source generation becoming "trendy"? Microsoft have recently added more of it to C#, in order to support their AOT efforts. It's a bit infrastructure-heavy as it seems to be intended for point support for specific things, rather than a general purpose "write code to generate code" tool. But I wonder if there would be a market for such a thing. The architecture currently does not allow you to edit user source code, just add more code. I.e. it's not a preprocessor, it just has readonly access to the AST.

e.g. the regex generator https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types...

(Reference blog post https://andrewlock.net/creating-a-source-generator-part-1-cr... )

I really don't want any generated code committed to my source control!

By its nature, this generated code is repetitive. People will go and manually change a thing in the generated code in ten thousand places. Then, when I have to make a change, I have to:

1. Either manually change my thing in ten thousand places (which is a pain)

2. Or use the code generation for my change and also make sure I don't break the previous peoples' manual changes. I don't think this is possible.

> Code generated on the fly during the build process and never committed to source control is a pain, IMHO.

Maybe a pain to debug, but much less of a pain to maintain/change!

> October 7th happened under the current approach, to assume it would be at least as bad under a 'guard let down' scenario begs the question.

Look, I'm sorry, but that's wishful thinking.

Israel left Gaza in 2005. Gaza elected Hamas who have been bombing Israel ever since. The current justification is "because of the blockade". What should Israel do? Not do a blockade and hope that Hamas decides to give up violence after 30 years, despite it promising to do so?

There is just nothing that Israel can reasonably do given that its neighbor insists, rightly or wrongly, that it needs to invade Israel and kill all Israelis. Even if they are 100% right about all the historical injustices they've endured, and everything was 100% Israel's fault - it would still make no sense to "let down our guard", cause the direct result will be the death of multiple thousands of Israelis.

While price per piece may have remained relatively constant, Lego has been pushing out more and more expensive sets. I remember when the most expensive set was the 400 dollar death star, and that was the only 400 dollar set. Now, there are 26 sets that are 400 dollars or more, with 7 of those sets being 600 dollars or more, and the most expensive set being 850 dollars. All of this to target more adult fans of lego.

> In fact, EGS's primary way of competing, exclusives, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

You're only noticing because of the competition. Without it games would be exclusive to Steam and you would never notice. Anything from The Finals to Lethal Company, PUBG to Destiny 2. Are these any less anti-consumer because they're only on Steam? I don't think so.
Abbas is no Lee Kuan Yew, and that comparison is already way more charitable than Abbas deserves...

Wikipedia describes Lee as such: "Lee oversaw Singapore's transformation into a developed country with a high-income economy within his premiership. In the process, he forged a highly effective, anti-corrupt government and civil service. Lee eschewed populist policies in favour of long-term social and economic planning, championing civic nationalism through meritocracy[3] and multiracialism[4][5] as governing principles, making English the lingua franca[6] to integrate its immigrant society and to facilitate trade with the world, whilst mandating bilingualism in schools to preserve the students' mother tongue and ethnic identity."

That's a forward looking vision, not a backwards looking vision like the "Palestinian cause" that seems to end with restitution.

Would any politician with such a vision like Lee's even have a chance with Palestine's electorate? No idea, elections were last held in 2006...
> Let’s apply that argument to eg mid 20th century Europe. Let me ask you this directly: are you denying the holocaust?

Oh, go to hell with that fake question. What I said was DIRECTLY about Jewish communities living in the Muslim world, for centuries. Any half-decent professor of history would agree with what I said. It's not even remotely controversial nor contested by any serious historian, Jewish, Christian or Muslim.

You're desperately clutching at straws, trying to imply that anyone here denied the centuries long EUROPEAN history of pogroms and expulsions, from Britain and Spain in the 14th to 15th centuries, to the repeated pogroms throughout Western, Central and Eastern Europe, culminating in the 20th century where much of Europe COLLABORATED with the Germans to butcher 8+ million people far away from any front lines, 6 million of whom were Jews.

Why are you so desperate to put your words in other people's mouth? Are YOU trying to deny the Holocaust? Hmm ...

I was 15 almost 16 when the Altair 8800 article came out in Popular Electronics, and I knew how to build little circuits using a couple transistors or a 741 op amp or 555 timer. Like I said, I could not understand the 8080 construction article, or what programming it "meant", but I knew FORTRAN and I knew programmable calculators so I guess I was coming at it from both sides. My biggest obstacle was not having any clue where to get the information I was looking for, so it would be by chance that I found out I could get databooks from chip makers. Took me a couple years all-in to build my own, but most of that time was spent reading and rereading technical manuals that I didn't quite understand. In a certain sense I was coming at it like an archeologist :)

Just a few months when I got to wire wrapping. I was somewhat astonished when it worked, I thought I'd have more problems, but I did check and recheck all my work as I went because I was fearful.

I had an older relative who had a job testing components (beyond plugging them in and looking at the lights he didn't know much about them) and he showed me around the lab where he worked (they were doing components for the Fidelity chess challenger) and gave me a bunch of drop-out chips that had failed the tests, including 2114(?) static ram chips and a couple of 8080s. I don't know what tests they failed, but they worked for me.
