Computers don't have 1A rights, so why should S230 protections extend to hosts?
Last I checked (at least here in the US) - the family plan requires all family members to be living in the same physical household and there is some sort of geolocation check that enforces that rule. I'm divorced and my son goes back and forth between my and his mother's house so I can't upgrade to the family plan and put him on it.
I like functional, but this isn't what I'm referring too. OCaml by being functional is opinionated.

It's not that stagnant, they have time to make the product worse imo. Their recent UX changes broke my weekly workflow, they buried the discover playlists behind three clicks and scroll, and they seem to have changed the algo so that it recycles the same songs over and over again (though my listening patterns have changed a bit since a recent addition to the family). Playlists are harder to create. And heaven forbid the thing you want to listen to is listed at the top of the iphone app when you open it, because they're going to refresh the list in 3... 2... 1... oh it's gone.

Sorry for the rant. I love Spotify. Nearly all of recorded music for one low low price. I wish they would realize that their apps are utilities, not social, and stop optimizing for engagement.

All I want to do is change the bluetooth settings back to my phone and all I see is "start a remote group session!" No thank you, get your sharing features out of my face.

Why does musl make my Rust code so slow? (2020)

Yep, and they don't see a difference between a company that provides a simple straightforward connection, and one that does all sorts of ridiculous traffic shaping, throttling, multiple levels of NAT, and things that make it hard to run your own router.
Georgia (state) takes it a step further. They wrote an exemption to the license plate law that allows dump truck owners to display the plate only on the front of the vehicle. Makes it that much harder to hold them accountable.

Not gonna lie, I think VapourSynth has been flying under the radar for far too long, and is an awesome largely unused alternative to ffmpeg filter chains in certain cases. I don't see any harm in piggybacking on an ffmpeg story to bring it up, especially if readers find it useful.

It's been threaded since its inception, so it seems somewhat topical.

Fortnite has an iOS version. They just stopped being able to update it because of Epic's shenanigans.
This feels like the exact situation that aligns with "Things go wrong very slowly, then all at once."
"If you are doing something with the primary reason being to cause harm, then normal protections often don't apply."

This seems pretty confused. There is no law banning "harm" (A term so vague that everyone is guilty.) and even if there was watermarking images does not appear to be more "harmful" than making an AI using the copyrighted images of others without permission.
Did you check your credit card statement to confirm that you were actually being charged the incorrect price (incl. the service charges and delivery fees)? Is it possible that the client calculates the price shown in the UI itself while the backend calculates it separately to do the actual billing, and there was simply a discrepancy between the calculations until you re-installed the app? Of course if you did check your credit card statement then there is definitely something weird going on.
Exactly. However I think its a bit more complicated than a grey area. There is just no hard distinction between tacit and explicit knowledge, even though the distinction is useful.

It is not that any tacit bit of knowledge eludes articulation, it is the whole that is problematic. Nothing is truly undocumentable, but its like the specs for microsoft word: its just so much you already need to be an expert to navigate the whole of it.

Thats the distinction and LLM of course of very good at processing vast amounts of bits and pieces.
It must be very frustrating for Ek to have to clean up the mess that he - as co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Spotify - obviously had zero part in making.
You're positing that some significant portion of the victims decide to settle like this:

if (shame)

But it's almost certainly this:

if (bankruptcy_risk || shame)

History of RIAA settlements-- where prudishness wasn't a factor-- supports my interpretation.

Furthermore, savings held by the average American supports short-circuiting on bankruptcy_risk and not the other way around.

Edit: clarification
In short, the issue is that the manager didn't keep to the schedule. If they had done it at the proper time HR would have been involved and we would have gotten our notification. Instead the damage was done hours before this was scheduled to happen.

In terms of higher-ups notification the "oh shit can you recover this" call came from the CEO

I don't know what happened to the manager. I can't imagine it ended well for them, pretty much that entire section of the org was on thin ice (acquisition that didn't want to absorb into the company) so I can't imagine it ended well. I know we didn't pursue legal action against the ex-employee, which pissed me off at the time, but I can see the logic in leaving it done and dusted.

The only PHI the company held was what HR had on it's the employees, so not at risk here.
The way processors work, if the single instruction / automatic on interrupt etc method does the same things as do it yourself in your code version, about the only thing you're saving is instruction decode bandwidth and compiled code size. But that's usually not a large enough savings to matter.

And then you get the inflexibility: There's a limited number of hardware task slots; I think you can pick which registers to save (or rather how many to save), but you always save all of them: a kernel syscall might be more judicious and only save the registers it uses (of course saving all registers if returning to a different task); it's hard to change because software must run on old and new cpus; etc.

There's exceptions to the rule of thumb. Rep mov can be faster than doing it yourself. It's also quite possible for a combined operation to do two things at the same time rather than one after the other.
This appears to still be an issue in late 2023 when using the default allocator, as I discovered here: https://github.com/nextstrain/nextclade/issues/1338
I live in Portland and I 100% agree with this. I say this as someone who voted for Measure 110 and now regrets that vote. At this point I would support a straight-up repeal. At least under the old system some people who were arrested were able to get clean in jail, or were able to enter court-mandated treatment programs.

The reality is that people in the throes of drug addiction have already lost their agency, so some kind of coercive intervention will often be necessary to break the cycle. By refusing to do this out of a (commendable) compassionate impulse, we are making the situation worse.

In general the last ~5 years of living here has been a lesson of how important order (i.e. the enforcement of rules and norms) is for a functioning society. You could say it is the foundation of all social goods.

Watching the city's decline up close has deeply altered my political beliefs on a number of topics – this is one of them.
My prediction is that all of Apple's recent aerial videos that are available as screensavers were shot in 3D and will eventually be released as such. It's just too much of a coincidence that they released all that content when they did. It's absolutely perfect content for the headset.

It also explains the kinda-cool but kinda-weird content released by Disney such as the Star Wars Biomes and Vehicle fly-throughs. Expect those to be released in 3D alongside the headset.

Ultimately, we're going to be able to play HoloChess against R2-D2 inside the Millennium Falcon, stand on the bridge of a Star Destroyer, or examine Uncle Owen's charred remains on Tattoine.

Actually... you probably can scratch that last one. ;)

IMO employers discriminate a lot, for random off the cuff reasons. The largest, most lawyered up companies that are glaring lawsuit targets have more of a process. But small-to-mid companies discriminate like crazy. It largely comes down to some guy with authority giving a thumbs down, for whatever reason he wanted. "I didn't think he was that good at SQL" may very well be "I didn't want to hire another Indian" or "This person worked for that guy I met, who I think sucks, which is like a bad vibe". Not hard to imagine having porn lawsuits on your record disqualifying you from a bunch of interviews, but the reasons stated being bullshit technical/cultural fit reasons.

I enjoy reminding these typically-babyboomers that Medicaid Part D (subsidized prescriptions) is "about as socialist as it gets" — they get low-priced medications, after largely having paid [relatively] nothing in to this "entitlement." Why have they paid almost nothing in to Part D? Because Part D is relatively new, thus passing the costs of medicine on to younger generations/taxpayers.

I highly recommend, for better understanding your neighbors (of any age), that you read "A Generation of Sociopaths" — chocked full of statistics to help everybody see why we commoners need "socialism," or whatever they want to call it... BECAUSE IT MAKES LIVING BEARABLE, LESS EXPENSIVE, AND GD you cannot make up their lifetimes of hypocrasies.
Meanwhile it is completely legal for the US alphabet boys to spy on foreigners. They don't need any warrants or anything like that.

If you're living in the West then you're in American jurisdiction for all intents and purposes - if they are interested in you - they will get you. And you have no rights or protections whatsoever. Your own government won't protect you.

My country has extradited our own citizens to the USA before and will do that again.

It really sucks that there's no second democratic pole. The only alternative to this is to live in an authoritarian country like Russia or China where you have even fewer rights and freedoms.
Nice! Although the productivity increase from being able to resolve blockers more quickly adds up to a lot (at least for me), local models would be more cost effective -- and probably feel less iffy for many people.

I went for OpenAI because I wanted to build something quickly, but you should be able to replace the external API calls with calls to your internal models.
What's wrong with option 2? This seems very effective, more than enough performant for 99% of use cases, and it seems the most straightforward to me.
Have you ever heard of a judge telling a jury that they are free to think for themselves and give the answer they want? If I recall, there is a term for that, called jury nullification and judges reportedly become upset if attorneys tell their juries about it.

If you hear of a judge that encourages juries to think for themselves and answer as they think, rather than prescribing how to think to them, let me know.
Also, a perfect circle would almost never strike me as a zero.
They are protected though is the point.

So just like image editing software is not liable for what the users do, so to should even more protections apply to AI.

Both should be completely immune and should have protections, and instead of removing protections, protections should be added to make absolutely sure that it is protected before any immunity is removed.
that is a rather cynical and unconstructive perspective

1. sponsored ads are only in a minority of videos, so largely the platform is actually ad-free. I'm paying to not have YT ads, I did not expect my subscription to eliminate sponsored ads. Where is the lie?

2. paid YT is categorically a better experience and worth every penny, even with the occasional sponsored ad, which again, can be skipped

3. YMMV, it really depends on the content you chose to consume. I stay away from the most viewed creators, it's typically low quality

4. Direct payments for a product is a much healthier model than the ad supported model, imho.

I’m also surprised the secret service was involved. I wonder if they suspected foreign involvement or considered it a matter of national security because it was an attack on banking infrastructure?

> About 23% of office space in the United States was vacant or available for sublet at the end of November, according to Avison Young, a real estate services firm, compared with 16% before the pandemic

Wow it’s literally nothing
Duh, yes, typo, thanks.
Nice moving the goalposts! I wasn’t talking about the types of ads you see, I was specifically addressing the absolute bullshit claim that “if you pay, you are no longer the product”, which is 100% demonstrably bullshit.

Secondly, paying for premium doesn’t in any capacity stop you from seeing scam ads in the sharing networks Google powers.

Given that other platforms are already showing ads for their paid tiers, it is not a matter of “if”, but “when” for YouTube.
I mean, "poor" might mean different things to different people. Call it working class? I'd rather commute from the Bronx for $2.90 than from Croydon (in many ways the Bronx of London) for, like, $7. I'd much rather get heating for free than pay, like, $5k in London.

If you're on the street, none of this helps you much, but across many metrics, I think NYC might legitimately be more affordable to live for the working class than London or Paris.
My point is that even in a world where the government mandates that certain applications that would otherwise be written in C++ are instead written in Rust or Swift we wouldn't see some massive loss of work for people who currently program in C++.

You’re missing the intent behind these "government-funded media" flags. They are trying to devalue this content, as if it is somehow lesser than if it had come from the private sector which obviously Twitter values more.

The government isn’t some nefarious entity that acts on its own volition, it is US. And a handful of men sitting in a boardroom is exactly what it is not.
Can't Product Engineers be code first? I have noticed every company I've been at there is an overemphasis on delivering direct value to the customer and neglecting the engineering of the product, which is an ironic outcome. Codebases get bloated and complexity quickly builds up because solutions are solved by throwing people and teams at the problem instead of better engineering.

This can be seen by how much avoidance there is for "future proofing" the code, and as a consequence the tech debt keeps accumulating to a point of no return (and then a rewrite is cheaper). I would think people would see business value in code first engineers working on the product side, keeping the abstractions clean and working on a product architecture that allows for faster development.
I wonder what would happen if someone used one of the public email dumps and automated a mass opt-out of every email ever spotted in the wild.

Free Software that you can't customise is not Free Software
It doesn't take long to find comments on HN about how there are plenty of people out there that can do a good interview but can't code their way out of a paper bag. The standard solution to this, and I've been on the receiving end of this, is to have someone as a contractor for 3+ months before converting them to full time employee.

I'm afraid your approach would mean hiring someone and spending time and money on them before you're sure they'll work out in your organization. Few want to train contractors and firing FTEs after 3 months and change is a dim prospect as well.

> the real question is where are all those free market Republicans

Blocking public services that naturally have a pricing advantage over private businesses because they're supported by tax dollars. Like if you're gonna drag Republicans for not living up to their free market ideals this really isn't what you should point to.

People said the same thing when they opposed the public option in the '00's and the rationale was the same. "Competing" with government services is just roundabout price controls. I'm zero percent opposed to such things when the market fails to sort itself out but I can see why strict free market adherents wouldn't be on board.

It’s kind of the same question as to why do companies like meta have their own data engineering and analytics org. Can’t software engineers do that?

In my experience they can but not well. They could acquire the skills but it would take time and more importantly time away from what they are doing. Also, the software engineers working on applications don’t want to create and manage pipelines, manage access controls, data governance, create dashboards etc.

Some observations from first hand experience working as a data engineer at meta and working closely with software engineers - client and s ever side.

- their sql is not great. I was surprised by many engineers not knowing about grouping sets etc.

- very limited understanding of how to build analytical data marts and warehouses

- no experience with concepts of master data management etc. and data governance best practices as a whole

- not good ad visuallybrwpresenting information via charts. So poor dashboarding skills and often have to learn the technology.

- have no experience with etl patterns so end up with pipelines that don’t scale.

- they don’t have any interest in learning data engineering for analytics type of work.

- have no experience with building growth accounting and retention datasets.

So for mature organizations where data is an asset you want to do it well so you either need a specialized team in house or outsource it to a consulting company in your question.
