> They should not punish you for exercising your GPL rights by refusing to do business with you.

Maybe, but the GPL explicitly permits this by only requiring source to be distributed to those who receive the software.

If, instead, the GPL stated that source must be available to everybody when software is distributed to anyone, we maybe wouldn't have this RHEL situation? What would we lose if that were the case?

The real problem is these algorithms making works of similar quality to the artists. Thousands for $20/month (in OpenAI's case)

Now there are egregious examples where this is abused to target a specific artist, and I'm sure you'll find all the AI companies are entirely on board with preventing that.

But they want to produce artworks.

I think it comes down to whether people using these roads is seen as an abuse or not.

Sure there will be more traffic, but those roads were built to be open to the public. It wont be the depletion of a natural reserve, and rules can be set to protect from toxic behaviors. For instance many small towns in EU reduce speed to a very low limit and forbid commercial trucks; that avoids intensive drive by and travelers trying to shortcut the highway.

A biologically plausible model for how neurons become pattern detectors [video]
The Koha model describes an algorithm for how neurons within a neural circuit specialize to become pattern detectors. The model also describes the role that dendritic spines have in memory formation and storage.

Some short segments of the recording are missing, and there were also some audio issues at the beginning of the recording. But overall the idea is followable.
Midjourney's story is different. Midjourney sees it's AI as a tool, that you pay to use to make images. According to them, it's the user making the image, and the user has copyright (other than giving Midjourney a license to store, show, train, ... that image)
I never used VS/C#, but can you drop a TDBGrid connected to a TDataset and then just resize autoloaded columns to your taste? Discussing tooltips on a listbox in RADs is like discussing colors of pencils in a hi-tech workshop.

I remember when the iPhone was new, and it didn't have an App Store at all and everything 3rd party was supposed to be a web app. Lots of people were really pleased when Apple finally did what all the other phone companies were doing and let people sell directly through them.

It's a separate question if Apple has been monopolistic or abusive with the terms of that app store, a question I couldn't possible judge; but the app store in and of itself isn't the problem.
Neither of these features change much in how you code in Rust. Personally I have never used either of those since they came out and I'd expect that you rarely find them in most of the user facing apps. It's definitely super useful for library authors for designing APIs that are easier to use, but it's nowhere near the paradigm change of introducing generics as a whole new concept.
I you don't destroy the cockroach, life might come back more quickly if you keep them alive (after a mass extinction). /s
That’s what they already do today. OpenAI is an obvious example in our industry but another one is where companies steal clothing designs from indigenous communities all over America. These people can not really defend or assert themselves in US copyright system, so US companies just engage in full on resource extraction without any compensation.
What do you mean by 14 + 14? (Why not just say 28?)
I remain unconvinced by the argument that without financial incentives, creative individuals will cease to create and society will be deprived of their creative contributions. That argument is more compelling for inventions and patents (the original context in which it was popularized) than it is for creations and copyright.

If a piece of creative work would not have existed without the prospect of financial gain, it's unlikely to be very good. Society would not have missed out on much if some famous author published only their first 3 truly inspired works, which they wrote to satisfy their creative urge, but not the 20 potboilers that followed.

We need to distinguish discoveries, inventions, and creations. Discoveries cannot be protected by patent/copyright. Inventions can and should (within reason). Creations might also deserve protection, but the incentives argument here is much weaker IMO than in the case of inventions.

Ironically, the NYT, which prides itself on being a neutral and objective purveyor of facts, isn’t challenging OpenAI for using the factual elements of its reporting in training data. Facts, being discoveries, aren’t copyrightable. Instead, they are focused on the part where journalists exercise "creative freedom" – the specific wording, narrative, and "spin" journalists put on reported facts. Let's apply the incentives argument to this context: is it clear the world would be a worse place if NYT journalists lose the incentive to exercise creative freedom in their news reports?
Some people actually enjoy designing and styling a website, imagine that. It helps when you aren't fighting with the language and can easily express what you want.
I gain a lot from such laws. It helps stimulate the arts. Without the ability to earn money from creations, that will leave the arts to a patron model or as the purview of the already wealthy.

Given the collective disdain for anyone pursuing a liberal arts education, I don’t see the patron model resurrecting en masse. I don’t feel entitled to the work output of anyone for anything. I’d much rather give creators a chance to become self-sufficient than live with the alternative. There I see only bland corporate cash grabs and a further shift to subscription-based access to any content.

To be sure, we already have some of that. But, we also have artistic output from others that wouldn’t be able to subsist without the promise of protection afforded by copyright.
Hmm, oh wow, occasionally I’m reminded that if I flipped sides to run phishing campaigns I’d be totally unstoppable.

There isn’t a quick way, by design. You need to wait a minimum period and meet some predicates, and the organized scammers already know what the period is via empirical testing but I’m not comfortable disclosing details of those predicates for disorganized scammers to use. More so because I’d definitely get into trouble for it than due to any belief in security via obscurity. Cushy job makes you risk averse.

Since I can’t share any of the tricks, some general advice— the main thing that matters is a long track record of good behavior. You can end up in a vicious cycle where you fight the system when it punishes you and then it doubles down on the beatings— this is bizarre and kafkaesque and happens all the time. What you want is for there to be two-way communication, if it’s unbalanced with traffic being broadcast but no one engaging with it, that’s going to be cracked down on sooner than if recipients reply.
Is it just me or has the quality of streaming content gone massively downhill? We are in the era of the McDonald’s of streaming.

Everything is low quality mass market crap.

At this point I’m only watching pre 2016 content or foreign stuff. It’s just so bad.

And this is the stuff writers went striking over. I mean I’m not surprised they are threatened by AI, it’s not hard to copy American films and tv at this point.

It’s like no one, not even hbo appreciates the importance of artistry any more. It’s all data driven, but what you get then is standardized crap. It might work for some industries, but definitely not tv.
Many banks have been blocking crypto transactions because it's the main currency of choice for organised crime to move money across borders in the modern era. My bank has sent me a message telling me that they will block any transaction they think is related to crypto, and if I want to use crypto I'm free to use other banks. Simple.

I think that's their choice. They can make that decision, and it's fine.

Why do you think you are entitled to demand a private enterprise allows you to use their services in any way you see fit without asking you questions?

Do you know some magic incantation for staying off the naughty lists?

Not magic, but when I managed outgoing Postfix servers for a few companies I had to set rate limits for yahoo.com an a couple other domains to reduce concurrency or they would block one of the SNAT's for a while. It probably sounds tedious but it really wasn't. There were not many MX that were as strict as Yahoo. I never ran into issues with Gmail but I think they cut some slack for corporate IP addresses and domain names.

For my own personal email servers I never had issues because I never sent at a rate that anyone cared about. The closest I got to that was running a forum that would email when threads would get updated and people subscribed to them but my solution there was to suggest to the people on the forum not to do that.
It wasn’t all for naught, some hidden pearls came out of the low interest orgy thad made everyone and their dog open a streaming service.

> So now they have cooling problems. Which you denied.

Nope. I denied that this is in any way a problem of nuclear power, which is what you implied. It is not. Cooling is a problem of all thermal plants, and solved for all thermal plants by cooling towers.

This isn't that hard.

And where did I "praise them" for building power plants without cooling towers? You gotta stop making stuff up, really.

Since the monitor is curved, it might even be closer to 24°.
Gentoo's big attraction for me is Portage. It goes beyond just providing a build environment and dependency management. Ebuilds (Gentoo packages) are supported by great tooling and Eclasses that handle a lot of corner cases in builds. Developing Ebuilds feel like doing a real software project, and is great for anyone who wants to experiment with packages that are not in the official repository. Coincidentally, I just published a tool to manage unprivileged chroots for testing ebuilds.

This development will make Gentoo more accessible for a lot of people. But I guess this isn't for me. My build configuration (like CFLAGS) are never going to match the official binaries and so they will never get used.

In the "hall of shame" you linked, they list applications which misuse radio buttons. Uh oh, call the police. Sure, there were a few inconsistencies. But honestly, up until the ribbon in Office, it was incredibly homogeneous compared to today.

In comparison, modern windows doesn't even hide its inconsistencies. Try right clicking on the desktop in windows 11. You get a dropdown with large item spacing and rounded corners. But then if you click "Show more options", the dropdown is replaced with a different dropdown with subtly different menu items, small spacing and sharp corners.

They aren't even pretending any more.

This isn't Kai's photo goo we're talking about here. This is core windows.

Unless you opted out, basically every application in the 90s and early 2000s was built using the core platform's UI library. There were a few exceptions, but the 90s were a golden age for platform consistency compared to today.

Now its hard to find any 2 applications on windows which use the same UI style. Firefox and explorer? Nope - the maximise and close buttons have a different style. Spotify? Nah thats some custom webview. Visual studio? Nope, thats using an old windows library. Whatsapp desktop? Qt. Intellij? Some java thing. And so it goes. Its an absolute zoo.

Speaking of Finland:

"The country is part of the deregulated Nordic electricity system which faces shortages, especially in any dry years, when hydroelectric generation is curtailed. Finland is very short of power until Olkiluoto 3 is commissioned. Over 2009-2011 some two-thirds of imported electricity came from Russia, but this has decreased considerably since the completion of the Fenno-Skan 2800 MW HVDC link with Sweden."
I too used to obsess over customizing my OS. Now I just install Debian, a handful of programs I use daily and that's it. I can recreate my setup on another machine in 20 minutes.
No one is claiming that no one lied. I am claiming that the truth was either non-obvious or was controversial. In this case, it was obviously at least controversial. I’m arguing it wasn’t that obvious either. Part of that ambiguity came from lying, part came from Iraq’s track record and secrecy (which of course IMO sovereign nations to some degree have a right to), and part of it came from the usual lack of information that afflicts such adversarial relationships.

Anyway you’re right that Blix was there prior to the invasion even though his report didn’t come until after. The report is not nearly as confident as you’re suggesting though. It wasn’t “no weapons,” it was “no evidence of weapons.” We all know, under circumstances less dire and less confusing than these, that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I think it’s important not to write these situations off as “well duh they were lying because they’re Bad Guys and we all knew that” because these types of situations will continue to repeat themselves. We need a deeper understanding of what went wrong and how to do it better than “wait a few months (or years) then claim it was obviously knowable all along.” It’s actually quite hard to know things, which is why this stuff happens!

ipad touchscreen is good for reading documents and the like. While I've been a bit of a "make Macbooks with touchscreens you cowards" person, iOS (iPad OS but w/e) has a _lot_ of nice affordances that are centered around getting you quickly to your work in a couple of taps, and not futzing about with typing things in.

The thing I always think about: how fast it is to play an MP3 from "device in pocket" state with an MP3 player vs a computer (or my phone!). iOS affordances around that are good.

> Julian Sanchez, who has been doing excellent work on copyright issues of late, has a nice post about how such arguments are totally irrelevant to copyright policy. He notes that it’s no surprise that artistic and creative people want greater copyright privileges, and fewer exceptions such as fair use, but that’s meaningless:

> > These will often be wonderful, likeable, creative people, and the correct policy response to these objections as such is: Cry me a fucking river; now piss off.

Get rid of copyright and the industry response will just be to move everything to the cloud. You don’t even get a device, just a thin client. Things will be more locked down, not less.

People want information to be free and have largely price anchored on free, but information of any quality is extremely labor intensive and expensive. That radical mismatch between desire and reality has and will continue to twist the market into weird and increasingly hostile shapes.

> Restore copyright to 14+14 years (with a single exception, the original artist and only the original artist gets 28+14, if they sell their rights to the work then the recipient only gets 14+14). Destroy the DMCA.

And then, dismantle the patent system just as well. Particularly "patent trolls" that just sit on patents and don't even actively license them at all are a scourge on innovation, and companies like Qualcomm that do use their patents but refuse to license them in a way that can be described as "reasonable" to anyone but lawyers aren't much better.

Patents used to be a good thing but have devolved into just another way for the largest players in capitalism to bully competition, and (like copyright) it incentivizes predatory rent seeking behavior over what's healthy for society at large.
Same, this was around 2004-2006ish when I maintained a Gentoo build for my Pentium 4 box. There was this somewhat draw to me of compiling my own binaries highly optimized to my processor and that Portage mostly works. But my gosh, gcc build times are killing the fun. When Ubuntu arrived and saw my peers being productive, I switched.
