One of my favorite videos games Blur is unavailable because it came with a licensed sound-track, but the license was only for like ~10 years.

Movies wouldn't be what they'd be without good music. It sets a vibe. So I understand that even short bits of music deserve some compensation. I do wish there was some kind of Fair Reasonable and Non-discrimindatory option available, that set standard rates & would prevent these kind of availability hangups, and expand access.

I do kind of get that artists don't want their work associated with certain things though; certain notable politicians/parties for example seem to have gotten half-a-dizen artists telling them to stop using their music, saying they don't want anything to do with the politician. One could make some kind of horrible terrible slanted movie, and under (F)RAND the artist seemingly wouldn't have recourse from involuntarily becoming the title track. It's complicated. :/

What we have now is awful though. Maybe we just create some hoops to jump through for rights holders. Make it so content-owners have to renew their part of the deal or otherwise the license automatically extends. That way at least some media, rather than being lost, is released. This is vaguely like copyright pre-1976, where folks got 28 years & then could renew for another 28 years.
I'm starting to think the smart spammers are the ones selling worthless spam tools to the dumb spammers, because so much spam is entirely unactionable.

Wouldn't this this block most search engines from indexing the content?

I'm also curious if the usual way of reading web content includes an "AI" somewhere in the path (ie: browser, upscaling, fraud filtering, video compression, CDN, etc.) between the server and the eyeball.
Probably the 19th audit in a row where ridership and fare enforcement stats didn’t match up to fares paid.
it's because the vast majority of people don't use SpamAssassin

Bingo. Not that there aren't a lot of people running SA, but spammers want to be able to deliver to the big players(1) (gmail, o365, etc), not the size folks out there running SA. It's not worth their time to devote effort to optimizing for a rounding error in the deliverability equation.

(1) Unless they're selling 'targeting' services where you're paying to deliver to a specific domain/user which might be behind SA. Plenty do, but that's a little bit farther down the criminality spectrum and vastly less volume than shilling peener pills or warranty extension scams.

edit: formatting
That's very much throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

No; a much better answer is mandatory licensing, with set, reasonable fees.
Nice one, Gavin!
If AI is ruled as fair use, no license will stop it, which it likely is to be, notwithstanding the NY Times lawsuit against OpenAI alleging that ChatGPT can reproduce articles wholesale.
Humans should also abstain from driving outside of their comfort zones.

It’s effectively no different from a spammer running their spam mails through a local SpamAssassin to see how it goes, and tweaking them until they pass.
I wonder if holding stolen digital data acquired by illegal means in cloud storage is akin to holding stolen real-world goods, like by a pawn shop or fence. Of course, the hackers may have sold the contents already making deleting it moot.
I'm not a lawyer but I know there are limits on what can be enforced through a license that's granted under copyright. Not to mention whatever fair use rights one has. So I don't know how enforceable it would be.
The original post is about income tax. While VAT is a tax, it is not an income tax.

The vast majority of operations in these fields are mind-bogglingly simplistic.

Well-known rules will block most spam, some with occasional collateral damage but many with no realistic chance of collateral damage.

Entity-encoding @ as &#64; in email addresses in HTML will block the vast majority of email address harvesters, with no collateral damage.

Adding a honeypot field to an HTML form, with the label “If you are human, leave this field blank” and hidden by CSS, will catch practically all spam submissions, with no collateral damage.
> first time they bumped into a problem with not having a degree is when they wanted to take a stab at working in the US, because there are visa requirements and suddenly that paper is no longer meaningless.

Regardless of "working in US" is in OP's future (or 'dreams'): NOT finishing uni will close a # of doors for you. Which ones? You'll only find out when it's too late to do anything about it.

Many young people won't even have a chance to attend uni. Or succeed - because eg. their previous education was subpar.

That puts you in a privileged position. Be thankful for what (opportunities) you have. So if at all possible: graduate. Decide whether it was worth it afterwards.

The idiosyncracies of grading systems etc: just another case of RTFM. Deal with it & move on.

I am saying we don’t need the federal government to backstop businesses just so people do not “lose” money.

Money is electronic, the government can handle electronic money accounts directly, and skip paying businesses for no reason.

Banks or whatever other financial businesses can continue to sell maturity transformation services, without FDIC insurance.

Thank you so much! I really enjoy it as well. I build them privately since 2 years, and at work too. For some reason I'm also still having a great time doing so.
Very very cool. Is there a word for a directional graph in this circular form? Also, is every edge unidirectional, or are there some bidirectional edges? I would hope (and assume) there's nothing bidirectional, but...
Banning car stereos would be a good idea. Besides distracting drivers, listening to music also helps people push past their normal fatigue limit and drive for much longer than they should. Driving tired is about as dangerous as driving drunk.
Building is - or should be - iterative. However each building is a separate iteration. Once you are done you stop and look at what works and what doesn't, then adjust the next one. The more you make your building different/unique from what everyone else around you is doing the more expensive it will be as nobody knows what changes really work - and even if they are for the better the lack of experience means you are paying extra for the laborers to figure out how to do things.
Again, it doesn't matter one iota what you put up there. It's way too big to matter.

If I told you somebody had been dumping for 100 years already, you would not be able to refute it by observation.

Ask HN: Do you need intelligent AI functions in SQL?
Hey, I am wondering if it would be helpful to have some AI functions in SQL.
Basically, imagine if you could use AI to process raw text or images using SQL within the database, allowing statements like this:

# get the trending topics of todays' posts
> SELECT DISTINCT(VLM(“what is the topic described in the following {posts.description} and {posts.image} ?”)) FROM posts WHERE DATE(posts.date) = DATE(NOW())
> [‘barbie movie’, ‘oppenheimer movie’, ‘taylor swift song’,...]

# Find the reasons why clients don't like products
> SELECT LLM(“why is the client not satisfied: {reviews.content}”) FROM reviews WHERE LLM(“Classify the product review as either positive or negative: {reviews.content}”) = 'negative'
> ['bad color', 'too expensive',...]

I can imagine a lot of use cases around unstructured data processing and understanding capabilities inside SQL databases, like trend detection, product review, smart filters, clustering and classification,...

I would appreciate it if you can tell me whether you find the idea helpful for you and what use cases it can power.

Author here. It's in some ways well and good to be sceptical of the health and wellness industry, including gyms and software companies like Lifesum. Note that they're my ex employer. I have good feelings for the place and own some shares, but I have no special need to do PR for them.

I want to agree with something you didn't quite spell out: the incentives are not really properly aligned in this kind of industry. You get paid up front, when people are at maximum motivation, but progress takes a long time and many people drop off along the way. Some kind of business model where you get a half-refund for non-usage would be a reasonable compromise for everyone, but I've never seen it in action.

Speaking for the people I know who are involved in this work, they are not cynical. They do this kind of work, instead of other work, since they genuinely want to help people. Our product worked if you stuck at it, so we spent a lot of time encourage people to come back each day and work at their goal. You can take my word about this, or not, as you like.

Something even a cynic would celebrate: there seems to be a push in some parts of the US health system to pay for outcomes (e.g. confirmed weight loss; stopping smoking) rather than processes (e.g. access to an app for losing weight; access to a quit smoking program). That's a really welcome development, it aligns everyone's incentives nicely.

A lot of Canadian businesses do because unused vacation banks are a personal liability of corporate directors (they’re treated as unpaid wages).

While individuals could ask for their vacation time to just be paid out, a lot of employers don’t like that because they budgeted to pay you 100% of your salary per year, not 104% or 106% (ie: paying you for both 52 weeks of work plus whatever weeks of holiday per 52 weeks).

This kind of resilience is a form of art, and it's also kind of a full-time job.

I would not advise trying this for a "side project at work".

Generally we all agree that we move to the cloud and it's "fully managed". If it goes down - that's the price we pay.

If you have to ask the question "what if the RDS goes down", then you are really in a different universe.

That last guarantee of uptime requires a ton of work, testing, and money, because you are all the way up and to the right on the curve of diminishing returns.
> our super accurate GPS measurements are not 100% reliable over time

The GPS measurements are 100% reliable. Think of it like getting GPS co-ordinates while on a boat - it's the boat that moves.

A point of interest on land doesn't stay at the same latitude/longitude/altitude because land is a tectonic plate "boat" floating on the mantle.

Close to the earthquake faultplane, land crumples and shears sideways and up/down. Plus secondary effects of the shaking: landslides, settlement, liquifaction.

Finally: I think it helps to remember that earthquakes are fault _planes_. Talk of epicentres and depths and faultlines often misleads our intuitions. For one of the Christchurch earthquakes my parents were about a kilometre away from the faultline (where the faultplane met the surface) and many kilometres away from the epicentre (which is just a synthetic average point), but the faultplane actually was relatively close to them somewhere underneath their home.

Also images of cracks in roads are often extremely misleading. They tend to be spectacular subsidence and are not the faultline. The actual faultline is usually not so photographic and less likely to have great photos early on. Media choses photos for their emotional appeal - not because they are a good approximation for the truth.
I've developed a workflow that's working pretty well for me. I treat the LLM as a junior developer that I'm pair programming with and mentoring. I explain to it what I plan to work on, run ideas by it, show it code snippets I'm working on and ask it to explain what I'm doing, and whether it sees any bugs, flaws, or limitations. When I ask it to generate code, I read carefully and try to correct its mistakes. Sometimes it has good advice and helps me figure out something that's better than what I would have done on my own. What I end up with is like a living lab notebook that documents the thought processes I go through as I develop something. Like you, for individual tasks, a lot of times I could do it faster if I just wrote the damn code myself, and sometimes I fall back to that. In the longer term I feel like this pair programming approach gives me a higher average velocity. Like others are sharing, it also lowers the activation energy needed for me to get started on something, and has generally been a pretty fun way to work.
Why should the fields be realistic looking? I guess this is one of the dangers of presenting working interactive illustrations and tutorials for generative art; it lets people look behind the curtain and identify the illusion, and you lose the magic of the finished artwork. The artist was careful and deliberate in their final examples to not crank down the smoothing enough to see horizontal lines. Simulated fluid flow wouldn’t be able to easily produce any of the first three images in the article very easily, if at all, and people doing simulated fluid flows still frequently inject turbulence (ad hoc noise) anyway in order to give it texture.

Sanctuary Computer | NYC OR REMOTE, VISA | Technical Studio Lead

As a Studio Lead at Sanctuary Computer (https://www.sanctuary.computer), you’ll partner with two other Studio Leads to support our project teams, define the strategy of the studio, and lead internal projects to help us achieve our vision. You’ll help cultivate a culture of intellectual curiosity and continuous improvement that empowers us to push the boundary of our technical projects year-over-year.

Based on the responsibilities of this role, we think the right candidate will be a decade or so into their career and will have prior experience in an Engineering Manager role. Maybe they'll be a little burned out by Big Tech and intrigued by a worker-first company with profit share and an optional 4-day workweek.

JP Morgan Chase & Co | Lead Software Engineer | London, UK | ONSITE (hybrid)

I'm hiring for an experienced functional Scala developer to help us with intellectually challenging projects in the areas of metadata and model driven engineering. We build bespoke code generators, numerous codecs, data model authoring and storage platforms amongst other things. We're re-engineering our platforms from on-prem cloud to AWS next year.

We use a Typelevel stack. New services are typically written using Tapir/Http4s, Cats Effect and Doobie.

Within the bank we help run a functional programming interest group, we do Scala training and/or mob programming sessions weekly, many of the team frequent Scala meet ups in London.

Whilst we do work in feature teams where we have large deliverables, you will have to complete individual projects so you'll need to be comfortable working independently.

Some of the role requirements:

- Leads the engineering of cutting-edge solutions in the areas of metadata, data model authoring and storage, and data in place/data in motion

- Collaborates with our users, product management, architecture and stakeholders in our sister teams to ensure we build the right solutions

- Applied development experience in functional style Scala

- Experience working with asynchronous runtimes like Cats Effect

- Meta-programming through libraries such Shapeless or Magnolia

- Domain Specific Language design and interpretation

- Knowledge of domain driven design

- Proficient with SQL/No-SQL databases

It's the truth, the jobs that use php are not the ones I want to work in. People are saying php is actually good nowadays but I have no reason or desire to learn it. I don't want to learn or work with wordpress, I already know as many scripting languages as I need to know, and there are no companies I want to work for that use php.

I'm already in the part of my career where learning another programming language is not what will take me to the next level so unless there is something unique about a programming language that makes it very useful I'm not interested in learning it.

Learning how to use more tools is not necessarily better when you are already proficient in other more flexible tools.
Couldn’t you add some “hidden” text instead, e.g. white on white or display:none?
while 100 years ago we built rapidly, there was a large cost in human lives. Planning is part of how we solved that - only part of it, but it is a factor.

Apples and oranges. I don't need word processing software to be open source to understand how it works. A proportedly novel compression algorithm is a different story...

I can be totally honest with you: FLAC being open source is more valuable to me than any performance benefit you could ever possibly offer over it. It only becomes interesting if I can actually read the code and see what you did.

I am genuinely interested in what you've done here, and I sincerely hope you publish it.
I like it! Never thought of this. Probably I could solve this by allowing an implementer to configure a range of days to be shown for each week.

Consistency in quality and other metrics is the key, I think.

People like McDonald's because it's filled with sugars, salts and fats but also because they know what they're getting and it's (mostly) consistent from visit to visit.

I think Tom was also one of the earlier "cool/casual science & technology" channels and was probably actually one of the main drivers of this type of content. The only downside is that as other people have mentioned in comments, this type of content has gotten more popular, which seems great at first but it ends up being treated as entertainment rather than provoking thought and really being absorbed (not Tom's fault, just the way the average person consumes).
