I'd argue "messaging" (more aptly referred to as "propaganda" in this context) has a lot to do with it. When you shoehorn ideology into entertainment you get a product that's less entertaining, doubly so when the ideology is mostly devoutly held by humorless people.
returns are not universally free or easy. I bought a power supply for a computer (corsair) and it went on sale a week later. I called to get a price adjustment and amazon told me they don't match even their own prices. So I said I'd return it and order a new one and I was told I'd have to pay return shipping.

I don't buy many products on amazon anymore.

You're not going to gain any more relevance doing that, but it might help pay the bills in the interim?

> Is this a bad thing?

Depends on the purpose. For a Webpage, which is a collection of short texts, to sell you on something, it is bad.

> Books are a "desert of letters"

Depends on the book. A phone book would be a desert of letters, I don't think many would enjoy reading them. Something like a novel, would be a forest of chapters, full of trees with letters arranged in a meaningful way, leading you on a road toward a goal. But a webpage is not a novel, it has an informative purpose, and is full of little small texts of equal value.

Why does the developer even have a say?

> A language can be designed once and then interpreters and compilers (and transpilers) can be made available for it.

While strictly true, some language features are awkward or unsuitable for scripting purposes. For instance, C++ templates and Haskell's type classes with extensions that make overload resolution Turing complete. You can do this, but it seems like a poor choice where the language ostensibly has runtime evaluation and type information available, and so you don't need to so strictly stratify the types and values. This collapses effectively two programming language levels into one, and considerably simplifies quite a bit of the runtime, compiler/interpreter, and the programs that can be expressed in the language
The level of copying here is the copying into the training set, not the copying through use of the model.

Its true that OpenAI will defend the wholesale copying into the training set by arguing that the transformative purpose of the next use reaches back and renders that copying fair use, but while that's clearly the dominant position of the AI industry, and it definitely seems compatible with the Cobstitutional purpose of Fair Use (while currently statutory, the statutory provision is codification of Constitutional case law), it is a novel fair use argument.

This is objectively true.

This is subjective, of course, in relation to other license types. I happen to agree with it, but so what.
Right. Walmart doesn't let someone drive up with a semi-load of what looks like bags of King Arthur bread flour, mark the pallets with a tag, and cut them a check when they stock the items from that pallet onto the shelf. That's basically what Amazon does.
Nope, whatever they had me download. It's Macs so maybe they autoattached to handover or whatever Apple calls that feature. Which I like, but only for texts and phone calls.

The devices I mention are all in the same local network so maybe they discover each other.

Everything is available on the black market, that doesn’t mean regulations are BS, it means people are willing to risk breaking the law to avoid being tracked. The demand for Viagra might have more to do with being embarassed about ED or other fears than with concern about the difficulty of getting it legally. (As another commenter pointed out, the bar is extremely low when using online remote clinics.)

What does “merely-harmful” mean? What do you mean it can be disclaimed? If it were over the counter, how will people know when and how to avoid fatal doses? Why do you assume it might be either effective or safe if diluted?
I'm generally doing that to check for version compatibility across a much broader spectrum than the level of a single library.
Don't buy anything from Amazon that you would put in your mouth, supplements, food, toothpaste, mouthwash, anything!

I'm even wondering if to do the same for things applied to body as well, my wife recently bought a hair cream because from Amazon because she couldn't find it in stores. It was obvious the one from Amazon was not real when compared with the remaining ones she had. Package was perfect, but the color/texture of the cream was very different.

It's a big chance buying things from online marketplace.

I think that's probably true. I think the bosses of most small businesses are scared of growing bigger than about 10-15 employees, because they're terrified of delegating.
> Well yeah, copying a work and using it for its original expressive purpose isn’t fair use, no? You have to use it for a transformative purpose.

To be clear, whether the use of the original work is transformative is one key consideration within one of the four prongs of fair use. The prong "purpose and character of the use" can be fulfilled by other conditions [1]. For example, using the original work within a classroom for education purposes is not transformative, but can fulfill the same "purpose and character of the use" prong. Whether the use is for profit and to which extent are other considerations within that prong. A profit purpose doesn't automatically fail the purpose prong, and a non-profit purpose doesn't automatically pass the purpose prong.

> It just all seems cosmically unfair.

Huh, it is unfair in the same sense that football, basketball or movie stars are living in mega mansions or penthouses and flying in private jets while millions in US struggle for basic needs in US.

Most H1B coming from India are among top 1-2% of India's vast population and thats pretty fucking huge luck. Going through normal wait of immigration process, which no one forced them to undertake btw, is a kind of elitist thinking where any delay in fulfilling upper class want is an untold atrocity inflicted upon them.
Anyone know if this has spread to crates.io yet? I see plenty of name squatting, but I haven't run into real crates trying to insert themselves into everything.

If this is true, it should be easy for you to link to an example. Could you do so?
Some of both. I think it's mostly the model.

* All of a single product is from the same vendor. Very often, that vendor is also the manufacturer. (model)

* Grocery stores have limited shelf space, and thus spend time getting to know their products. (model influencing qa)

I work for an energy company that builds renewables. No we do not. I mean Jesus that's ridiculous.

Wind is a bigger opportunity and more commonly pursued, but has even more problems.

This isn't (just) a regulator issue: it's a market issue. There just aren't many new engines produced every year, because there isn't demand for it.

On the extreme side--private jets for the ultra-wealthy--it may be different (I wouldn't know; I'm a lowly 7-figure net worther, barely "rich" by this standard, and owning a private multi-engine jet is well beyond my means).

I don't have many memories of experiencing this with my own iPod, but I recently came across this paper - "Does Your iPod Really Play Favorites?" (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jessica-Culhane/publica...).

In the paper, the authors examined evidence of nonrandom behavior and created several probability models for these events under the assumption of a random shuffle. Their conclusion was:

> Much of the evidence of nonrandom behavior reported by Steven Levy and others does not hold up when the probability models of the events are determined. Our results show the probability models for a random shuffle in many cases do not match the intuition of users. In addition, our statistical tests show the long-term occurrences of these events are within expectations under the assumption of a random shuffle.

I'm not sure if this was something Apple implemented after 2009.
> One of my points is that FOSS can be worse for the end user because companies like Juniper can take a lot of it and make it proprietary.

I disagree with this point. They don’t make the FOSS worse. They make a new thing. The original is still available.

And if it was SAMS it wouldn’t save it from this fate as it would never be used enough to get to this point.

So SAMS isn’t a defense against “abuse.” But I argue that this isn’t abuse at all as the license is used as designed. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

If I create a project with MIT, I’m perfectly fine with Juniper taking it and bolting it onto their own proprietary software. I don’t think this makes my project worse.

To prepare for writing the book, Eric Flint, the primary author, did an extensive survey and interviews with a number of people in the town of Mannington, West Virginia. In the book, he renames the town to Grantville, and "aliens" throw it (and a 6 mile diameter sphere centered on the town) backwards in time to late 1632 in the middle of Germany, from the year 2000.

The alternative history, with struggles for survival, is a great read. The series that developed taught me a lot about the things necessary to keep civilization going, in terms of supply chains and infrastructure.

I lost a few of the physical books, and I may rebuy them, once my retirement pay kicks in.
DevDiv vs WinDev. The Windows group maintains the C++ compiler. So you get the resource editor for dialog templates and that’s about it. And that actually got worse from Visual Studio .NET onwards, my guess is that it got took over by the DevDiv people when they unified the IDEs.
"I've read once on the blog of a former member of the C++ technical steering committee, that at his best, when actively working with the committee and focused on this, he maybe knew 50% of the language spec."

This isn't relevant. The standard is for compiler writers and library writers who use advanced meta-programming.

"What are the odds of the common folk knowing the pitfalls and good practices of the language and that staying relevant in 5-10 years?"

That depends. Some pitfalls just disappear like std::auto_ptr but I doubt anyone complains. Big changes came with c++11 and c++20, that is once in 10 years.
While c++11 added move semantics and new initialization syntax that are somewhat complicated and hard to ignore, c++20's additions only make you glad that your life has become easier.

The intended result is clearly to supplant other information sources in favor of people getting their information from ChatGPT. Why should it matter to legality that the tech isn't good enough for the goal?
Indeed it's just the most performance-critical part of the stack that happens to involve ruby because I needed a shim between redis and powerdns. I write it as a quick hack years ago and have never had to make any changes to it.

I think that shim still uses ruby 2.6, I may try to upgrade it to 3.3 with yjit and see what the latency drop is, which is probably a more interesting number anyways, but again only really matters for a single caching request that only happens once in a while.

The real reason I continue to use ruby is because it's a quick way to get things done on business logic heavy web apps, but I continue to be impressed how much I can get away with using it for things it's really not known for being good at. I run into people often that refuse to use it for absolutely anything because there's a perception that it's "too slow", but when pressed I learn that they're not really working on anything that requires high performance provided by more esoteric languages with stricter memory management that is very likely nerfing their productivity unnecessarily. My goal here was to push back on that perception a bit, not to make the dns shim sound impressive.
I agree Rust does not make it easier either. This is an interesting design problem.

I tried it with ChatGPT and it did produce a robust solution. This does not seem to be a limitation for strong type hierarchy after all:

# Define a struct for Customer
struct Customer

id::Int

name::String

# Other customer-related fields

end

# Define a struct for Account

struct Account

id::Int

balance::Float64

type::String # e.g., "Savings", "Checking"

# Other account-related fields

end

# Define a struct to manage the many-to-many relationship

struct CustomerAccount

customer::Customer

account::Account

end

# Define a struct for the Bank which holds all information

struct Bank

customers::Dict{Int, Customer}

accounts::Dict{Int, Account}

customerAccounts::Vector{CustomerAccount}

end

```

>> The US is and always has been a country of immigrants

The US has had periods where immigration was relatively unrestricted, and periods where it was heavily restricted.

>> Restricted immigration actually lowers wages

The US passed laws restricting immigration after World War I (Immigration Act of 1917, Immigration Act of 1924). These were in effect until 1965.

Wage growth was slower to non-existent after restrictions on immigration were removed compared to the period when they were in effect. The evidence from US history does not support your assertion. You can deny the law of supply and demand, but you can not repeal it.
I was always kinda partial to the Borland IDEs. I even used the concept on Linux for a while in the form of "RHIDE". It wasn't bad UX but the software was pretty badly written so in the end I dropped it. I never enjoyed anything as bare bones (or requiring such a learning curve and setup of adding) as vim. Right now I use VS Code. Not a huge fan of it and I really wish it was available as a TUI application but for now it seems to be the best around.

And wrt. to Finland I was talking about Block 4 of Olkiluoto. Block 3 went online this year. And yes, it delivers a significant part of the grid in Finland, which already has caused issues. Because Block 3 had to be pulled of the net several times - which immediately removes a large fraction of the grid power in an instant. That is why they currently keep a nearby coal power plant in hot standby to ensure grid stability.
