You aren't taking away anything from grants that don't exist yet, so just reduce the term for new copyrights and Steamboat Willy is your uncle.

Takes longer than changing the terms of existing grants, but so what.
This is a prescient observation. As a child of Asian immigrants to the US, I've lived through the clash of these two types of cultures. Asian society can be very prescriptive - if you live a certain way, your life will be good. It will lack self-determination, but it will generally be a joyous one.

This type of system takes a utilitarian view - maximize the most good for the most number of people. The downside of utilitarianism - and prescriptive happiness - is that edge cases are not handled. Do you not subscribe to the traditional roles of gender? There are very, very few avenues for you to seek happiness in that world.

As someone who does not deviate from the norm (other than the fact that I was born in America), I enjoy my culture and all that it has to offer. I am not sure if that would be the case if I was at all unlike others in my traditional culture. There are other ways of living I might have tried when I was younger, had I not been afraid of the social consequences. I don't feel deprived as a result, however.

The promise of America is that it's a land of misfits and outcasts. Many of our ancestors left their homeland because they did not fit-in in some way. A lot of the times they were ideological outcasts - they believed that individual merit and success should not necessarily be abandoned for "the greater good". That if you form a society of these types of "selfish" people, you paradoxically end up with something that is better for everyone. While this is a mainstream idea now, this belief in individual determinism was entirely out of the norm globally in the era of American's founding.

I think the "Problem with Identity" that you so eloquently describe is a direct result of our current times. Human society is experiencing the greatest philosophical and societal upheaval in the history of its existence. Never in history have people crossed so many boundaries - political, physical, social - in such massive quantities and so drastically. You can argue this is good, you can argue this is bad - but this is a fact.

Now for the truly unpopular opinion - religion was developed for circumstances like this. In the West, the word "religion" evokes visions of about modern, punitive, Abrahmic-style religions. Rather, I'm referring to what Westerners call "spiritualism".

I believe every religion's origin was in this concept. Why are we here? What happened before, and what happens after? How does one find meaning in this world? Spiritualism doesn't have answers for any of these questions, but it equips us with the tools to find answers. That's really what it's all about. Many Westerners are familiar with meditation - this is but one of many tools that arise from Indian (and other Asian cultures') spiritual practices.

I think as society at large struggles to find answers to deep problems, they will return to spiritualism as a source for answers. It will happen in fits and spurts, and with lots of misunderstandings. But the change will occur, slowly but surely.

Interesting - I'm not familiar with HP-UX vaults - did they ever catch on in other Unix versions, and did they predate zones in Solaris? How do they compare to Linux containers?

That doesn't refute my statement that BSD pioneered containers with jails, as jails were widely used across multiple BSD versions (though they're oddly missing on macOS) before Linux's container architecture existed.

I had thought IBM did VMs rather than OS-level virtualization (wasn't Gene Amdahl the one who came up with the rules for classically virtualizable architectures?) but I'm not particularly familiar with IBM systems (though I have looked at the 360 instruction set, which has amazingly lasted for more than 50 years.)

This is just copying marketing material, not even rephrasing it with obligatory "says" and "claims".

The topic is important, but I think this is not a good article for starting discussion, nor to be giving traffic.
Well… yeah? We know that smoking oil is carcinogenic, and it forms this weird polymer layer when a pan is seasoned. Would not be surprised if further research shows that Teflon is actually safer.
Bring back actual radio buttons
I'm a little bit shocked that no automaker has done physical buttons over a screen like the stream deck. If elgato can do it for $70, surely a car company can figure out how to squeeze it into their margin.
Its importance is contextual. Semantically, if the replacement text says the same things, it has less importance than if the replacement text understood to meaning says something different: one is just "we liked saying it better this way" and the other is "we changed our mind(s)" -they aren't the same.

The field of change over a topic is itself a subject of study. It feels like a join over politics, Ontology and Epistemology.
Instead of disagreeing semi-anonymously with some of my personal experience/opinions, is anyone interested in actually answering my question?
Not really. Your stance is something that people take when they don't understand the Hard Problem of consciousness.

They don't try to understand hard problem of consciousness and just try to strawman the whole thing down by tying it to mysticism.

Physicists like Penrose are not morons.

I seriously doubt Westworld writers were aware of the hard problem of consciousness.
I read the article (which contains no quotes & no sources). I also read the linked article, which is just a VW press release about a concept car.

I don't see any mention of them "admitting" anything. Nor is there any evidence that they did so because for any of the reasons claimed in the article. They don't even mention physical buttons in their press release other than extraordinarily brief "classic volume control".

Is this what passes for upvoted journalism on HN these days? Completely made up articles that can't even bother finding some corporate PR flack to give them a quote?
> ultimately dlss/frame gen is a hack that no one on a high end card would ever use.

The irony of those technologies is that they shine best on high end cards.

If you're on a low end card and say pushing the limit of a game and are upscaling 720p to 1080p, then dlss can't do miracles, there will be tons of defects due how little information about the scene the upscaler has. But if you're on a high end system trying to upscale 1440p to 4k then even not only is the upscaler less likely to make a mistake, it's also much less noticeable.

Same with framegen, on a low end system that's getting sub 60fps, the framegen not only adds noticeable input lag, but often makes noticeable defective frames in between, if your system was already pushing above 60 then not only is the input lag much more bearable, the possible defective frames stay on screen for so little that you'd have to be paying attention to it to notice them most of the time.

They're still useful for low end systems, they can prolong their lifespan quite a bit for current gen games, but as this tech becomes the norm, developers rely on them to hit performance targets and your card will be outdated just as fast as older cards used to.
No. Copyright is enabled by the main text of the Constitution, not an amendment; the specific terms are simply acts of congress. The one tricky thing you'd run into --- besides the fact that there isn't public support for a radical change in copyright --- is treaty obligations. But, like, we can just break treaties.
Essentially, the market forced you onto the track that it wanted you to be in. Which, as you found out, is a good thing (and the only possibility).

As the best time for VC investment is generally at the inflection point of the exponential growth curve. When revenue can't keep up with what it costs to supply the ever faster growing demand. Which, for many companies, will be shortly before an outright acquisition. And usuaully 5-10 years, minimum, after slow customer growth. Assuming a good business but not necessarily a unicorn in terms of market position.

But at that point wily founders may instead look to keep their company and seek a loan.
For sure, it’s a nice clean up eventually but I always filter TTY client side when using it.
Agree with your main point, but Lingua Franca doesn't refer to French but to "Mediterranean Lingua Franca", an actual trade language of its own which was a mix of a bunch of things. It had that name because it was "the language of the Frankish" (traders) but what they (eastern sea/Muslim traders) meant by "Franks" was any western European.

As much as I wish this was true, a lot of new games require you choose between lower settings or DLSS if you want to maintain 1440p resolution and a decent FPS. This was true last generation with the 3090 (from personal experience) and it is true with this gen as well (based on second hand from my friends with current gen high end cards).

You may not be running DLSS with a super high scaling factor but I almost guarantee DLSS or DLAA is going to be on for most games nowadays if you want to keep framerates stable on ultra.
I am French .. and yes people in Paris are rude. Thats the running joke in France that nobody likes them. If the dont work there they invade the rest of france and remember us how annoying they are.
And yes the rest of France is awesome and totaly helpfull and nice to strangers.

This is great!! I learned a lot from this post. I'm working on a freestanding C project and had to write my own allocator. I ended up replicating the libc design with a doubly linked list of sized blocks which get merged with free neighbors when deallocated.

Never occurred to me to pass the object sizes to the deallocation and reallocation functions, even though such sizes are passed around everywhere in other parts of the code. Redesigning the whole thing would be a big effort but it might be worth it.
> In 2022, the typical compensation for YouTube content creators in the United States was roughly $4,600 monthly, according to Influencer Market Hub research. Profit depends on the reach of a video, so in some cases, it can be far higher, but the platform pays approximately $20 for every 1,000 views.

Seems implausible. Is it true?
No, you're right, and I should have set the expectation that you can't really get into deep thinking mode that more demanding tasks require.

But a lot of it can be discrete or boilerplate. While it's not muscle memory yet, leaving comments for myself and implementing them later, especially when it's about implementing $routine in $language. This is useful when learning.

Doing integration work will take focus or great planning + notes though. But I think it can be done to a large extent. I find it easy to pick up old abandoned projects where I've left enough comments to my future self.

And I'm in my 30s now so not the youngest in software either.

The primary argument relates to the authority to remove the marbles granted by the 'lawful' government at the time. The government at the time was a subsidary of the Ottoman empire, Greece having been conquered roughly 400 years previously. The government was composed mainly of Turks though with numbers of Greek collaborators. The Turks didn't particularly about the Greek culture at the time and especially not about the ancient Greek culture.

Now imagine a similar event occurring during WWII: a party from a third country obtaining authority by the 'lawful' (at the time) Vichy government (a Nazi subsidiary) to remove invaluable French art from the Louvre. What position would you hold today? These are essentially the same. Can a government that obtains its legitimacy through the imposition of force by a conquering power be considered 'lawful', and it's decisions hold legal force in any subsequent dislodgement of that conquering power?

That's what this all boils down to. For me, the Ottomans were as 'lawful' a government of Greece as the Vichy were in France i.e. not lawful.

Every time this comes up I feel like some kind of outlier.

Between the scroll wheel on the dash and voice control, I feel my media control is better than any physical controls I've ever used.

As for climate control, I set it up once and I've never really touched it since (occasionally a passenger wants their side of the car a bit hotter/colder) -- I just don't see a need to adjust it.
A lot of survey data supports this sentiment, and I personally agree as well—I wouldn't ever buy a non-CarPlay car in 2024. However, car manufacturers that remove CarPlay may be able to decrease prices, and their target customer is very price sensitive. I think a lot of diehard CarPlay users would consider buying a non-CarPlay car if it were 5–10% cheaper overall.
It will still matter. Unpopular new laws aren't guaranteed to survive swings of political power. Local/state governments could permit it, and a politically motivated national/federal government could amend the manslaughter laws in a way that would make autonomous vehicles untenable.

(It's sad that society is obsessed with politicising everything and everyone. I don't agree with some of Musk's political views, but so what? I never expected to be in perfect alignment with him or anyone else anyway. And it would be the height of arrogance to assume that my views are consistently better than his, rather than a different order of priorities resulting in a different set of trade-offs.)
Only if you think that "exposing" it(read: exploiting it for social media views) is doing anything to help the problem.

Experts seem to think the shame and misrepresentation actually makes the situation worse rather than doing anything to improve it, so curious what your thoughts are on the matter.

> car companies don't want to give up control.

Why should they? The software world gave up complete control to Apple and Google. Look what that looks like for anyone in software not Apple or Google trying to reach a customer on their typical device:

- 30% taxation on everything
- no ability to deploy whatever, whenever
- strict, capricious review
- forced to use their payment rails, their user account rails
- no customer relationship
- no runtimes, no hot patches, no deploy whenever
- forced to jump through upgrade cycles on their schedule or get your app down-ranked
- you have to fight ads against your own product. Apple/Google make money on those ads.
- if you want to side-load, that's "scary" on Android and impossible on Apple
- if you want to deploy to the web, the web is a second class citizen

It's absurd and intensely unfair.

Apple and Google won and locked down the American consumer. You can't easily access them without going through Apple/Google.

If car companies fall for this boondoggle, this is their future:

- 10% of sticker price of car paid to Apple/Google
- ads for other car companies in the dash
- radio subscription fees going to Apple/Google
- car telemetry and demographic data sold to competitors
- car telemetry and demographic data not given to car manufacturer to improve their systems
- reminders to service direct away from vendor/dealer centers
- insurance data and analytics plays go to Apple/Google
- "Fast Pass" systems live in the App Store now and run on Apple payment rails.
- Future in-vehicle billing goes to Apple/Google
- Future self-navigation / smart fleet solutions to Apple/Google
- ...

All the hard as hell work of making a car, and you don't get any of these future upsides. It goes to the dumb, unregulated and uncompetitive smart glass companies. Because they got there first and established a duopoly with tendrils a mile deep.

Basically, I always think, "what's the worst I could do or extort from a company if I controlled them completely?" and then figure that's on Apple/Google's roadmap.

That's because inflation, a generally increasing cost of living, and generational knowledge around how exploitative modern capitalism can be.

The whole "kids should work harder and enjoy it" take is entirely Western. Kids are working very hard in other parts of the world, for pennies, no health care, and have next to zero economic mobility. Kids should be willing to work for their own benefit, to enrich their own life, but that is not what we see in practice. Kids work to survive.
I have a hard time with this as well. I do get the feeling that we're looking at KPIs that, if not rigged/manipulated, perhaps aren't terribly relevant. RFK famously said that the GDP doesn't capture the character of a nation, and I doubt he was the first to realize that.

I don't feel like my parents really lived it up when I was a kid; we lived in a modest house and drove modest cars and went on vacations in-state at the largess of my Grandmother plus the occasional road trip. My mom said that only rich people flew. Before them, I have no actual experience of how people lived. I think a lot of families only had one car or no car, for instance. It's just hard to compare without having lived it myself.

I will say that I'm over hearing apologists for the current situation say that because we have smartphones, we're richer than ever. An iPhone SE is like $400 and a smartphone is essentially a requirement to participate in modern society (not really a development I'm thrilled about either). Shitty food is quite cheap, so if all you want is calories (turns out you need a bit more nutrition than just carbs, but I guess you can live off it for awhile), then you are indeed in boom times. Housing seems like a nightmare though it's calming down a bit lately. Paying for education would scare the crap out of me if I had kids or if I have to go back to school; my cousin's daughter's 3rd birthday is coming up; his ask - no gifts, only money for college please. At 3 years old, but I can't blame him.

And healthcare is it's own nightmare - the costs stagger belief. I may need a hip replacement (I'd like to hold off, but the pain might force the issue), and I'm wary of every aspect of the system. Amazingly, I could fly to Lithuania and have the surgery plus a few weeks in rehab for maybe a quarter of the cost in the US. Hopefully I don't get laid-off before I can work up the courage to do the surgery and lose my health insurance, because then Lithuania might be the best option.

So yeah, if you like empty calories and whizbang tech (and I mean, I can enjoy those in moderation), then I think the economy is doing better than ever. But I (and I think most) feel less secure than ever as forces far beyond my control conspire to extract every dollar I have to my name and put me into debt for the dollars I don't.

Regarding XML, I greatly prefer (vs. XML or JSON) classic NeXT-style property lists, though sadly Apple deprecated those (GNUstep did not however.) In practice I tend to use an editor.

YMMV - as I mentioned, I think launchd, systemd, and windows service manager are in a similar space; it could be I just encountered launchd first, so I'm more comfortable with it. Also the transition to systemd on Linux (e.g. rc files to upstart to systemd) felt more jarring than the macOS launchd transition.
I'm just asking questions. I apologize if the first one was a bit leading. I'm genuinely curious if you have proof that this type of data is massaged, as you say.
It seems like you're taking the latter (lack of ideas) for evidence of the former (dishonesty), which doesn't seem fair to me. It's absolutely possible to legitimately think something is a big problem and also not know how to solve it – in fact some would argue this contributes to the "bigness" of the problem in the first place.
