They did mention that if you read the entire article. The argument is that free sharing of music started by Napster didn’t end up being the predominate model because copyright law resulted in steaming services starting with Apple dominating. So we should be leery of claims about what LLMs will do without considering what the legal ramifications of various lawsuits will lead to.

"It's 2024" isn't an argument, an explanation, or a justification. It's saying "I'm on the right side, the side that history is moving toward, and if you disagree with me, then you're not". That works great for smugness, and it may move the go-the-way-the-wind's-blowing types, but it doesn't persuade very many people.

I could just as easily say: "It's 2024. Why not just ban "approved commercial providers" already?" Notice how that didn't change your mind?

If you've got anything to support your position, give that, rather than the year. We know what year it is; that doesn't make us agree with the rest of what you say.
Hi, author here! Thanks for sharing this.
I'm in the process of making a introduction video for it but it's going to take a while.

When people are free to decide how many children they want, this amounts to 0, 1 or 2 typically. Which averages out to about 1.5-1.8 in most developed nations, which is significantly below replacement rate. Japan is an extreme case.

People often blame the cost of living. Whilst it doesn't help, it's not the root cause. The root cause is straightforward: people simply do not WANT more children.

Those that want children, will often have 2. There's very little reason to have 3, 4, 5 or more once you have 2. Two children already dominate your life so there's little incentive to just let the number grow arbitrarily. And having more than 2 children has very real consequences. For your home, your car, your schedule, your sanity. Even most millionaires will not have a huge amount of children.

Bottom line: most people still want children and will have 2. Which is not enough to cover the replacement rate. No policy, monetary or otherwise, will significantly move the needle.

Japan's issue is the above universal behavior combined with additional local constraints. As also seen in South Korea and China, the "work yourself to death culture whilst also financially supporting your ageing parents" means your culture as a whole ultimately goes extinct. It makes family formation near-impossible.

Instead of working more we should work less if we're interested in continued existence. The world won't move in that direction though it's "all hands on board" to deal with the current ageing society.

Mass immigration doesn't solve this. It's a brain drain for those countries, but also consider that a giant population of young people will turn into a giant population of old people, requiring even more young people. Which won't happen because also in developing countries the birth rate is in decline.

A very dark conclusion you could make is that people get too old.
In my anecdotal experience drivers in Seattle have become less predictable. The reduction in speed limits has caused a bifurcation where some drivers go the new speed limit and others continue to drive at whatever speed they feel safe going/whatever the old speed limit was.

I wish Seattle would actually design roadways that cause people to inherently go slower, rather than tell drivers to go slow simply because a sign says so.
The issue of 2012 was more that the bad players all dropped off after the DOJ crackdown on online poker in 2011. It was still possible to play, but it became a pain in the ass to move money on and off the sites. That meant all the very casual players just didn't bother, and those were the ones you were making money from.

I played very successfully from 2005-2009, and I tried a couple of times post-2011 - it was just devoid of the total idiots that would feed you money.

> It's easier to walk (or hitchhike) to a fueling station and carry a gallon or 5 of fuel back to your vehicle than it is to carry back a similar amount of electric charge.

That seems more like post facto justification than an original design consideration.

Early cars were meant to be easily fixed, though. And that was likely a design consideration. Before cars were fuel-injected and full of computers there were "shade tree mechanics" everywhere. Of course "easy to fix" is maybe just a proxy for "unreliable." Kind of like software . . .

> cars and trucks are immensely useful to move goods

So are wagons pulled by draft animals. In fact, those wagons are much more reliable before roads were built to enable the automobile. Probably why there was a reliance on them for several generations after the country was crisscrossed with rail.

> pavement is nice, but not required

Pavement as we think of it was designed for cars, not vice-versa. The Appian way has lasted for thousands of years, but that's not much like how our streets and highways are built.

When there is more than one enemy, it can become worthwhile to simply use dijkstra from the player’s point of view, and then each monster can look up the optimal route to the player. It makes the computation cost more predictable when the monster count is variable.
Only if you keep it set to silent, otherwise junk calls will be a PITA.
I don't think it's worth it for all the reasons you mentioned. I just want to stress that no vias (actually you usually need at least a few and have to make them with a drill and clipped resistor leads) makes layout way more difficult, and no solder mask makes soldering much more difficult. Making the PCBs by cnc or etching has no path forward as you design more complex stuff, eventually you will reach a point where you have to order assembled boards and there isn't even viable hobbyist version of all the equipment pcb fab shops use.
Most of the examples I saw used Pytorch. (Which is still a step or two removed from the actual machinery, of course.)

I didn’t say it was untrue. I said it was ineffective as advice for the general public. We might blame the public for not being compliant or disciplined, but that’s pointless. This advice is suitable for a different reality than the one we live in, populated by imperfect people.
Ok interesting. I think I way underestimated the amount of "always bad" actions.

Yes, that illustrates my point. Road calming doesn't make the road less safe, but drivers slow down because it feels less safe. In other words, drivers don't have a great feel for what speed is actually safe.

This is the smoking gun. GPT-4 is a large model and hence highly likely to reproduce content. They have many such examples in the court filing https://nytco-assets.nytimes.com/2023/12/NYT_Complaint_Dec20...

IANAL but that's a slam dunk of copyright violation.

Nit. I believe you can use numpy and at least some other libraries relying on native extensions but performance might vary: https://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/faq.html#should-i-install-num...
Is that a sharable folder?
Seconded. I learned about these here a few years ago and have gone through two packages of them. The ability to dim for things you still want to kind of see is very nice, and as another person noted, the pre-cut shapes are more attractive. For example, I use them on the air filter level indicator where I still want to be able to see what it set to but don't want it lighting up the room much at night.
Even bullies can be lazy in their metier - it's quicker and easier to find a tangible target for abuse in a finished product, and, perhaps more importantly, it doesn't risk an ego brusing when a critique of an abstract proves to be incorrect.

I've certainly seen my fair share of these types - too busy (ie. lazy) to really get stuck into detail during a project even when invited to do so, but very quick to point out an issue after a few minutes of expressly looking for one when it's too late.

They seem to see it as demonstrating their experience and superiority over others ie. "I only need a few minutes to find an issue". In my experiences, they also tend to insist on saying "everything needs to go through me", but never make time to follow through - out of laziness. This gives a high ROI on effort expended to stress created.

The best times I had with these people (when I was beyond caring) was laying low and doing launches semi covertly, so that there was time for clients to provide positive feedback and praise first. Then play dumb and deliver news about launch and feedback as a package.

A random forest is also a universal function approximator so anything a neural net can do, so can a random forest (in theory). In practice, neural nets are easier for modern hardware to optimize while I think trees incur computational overhead due to branchiness.
I don't think that's reasonable.

If you're a tiny rights holder, you may have produced a single song and are trying to make sure others pay you for use - but you may not be able to afford or understand what legal review you need.

If you're a major rights holder, you may have so much content to protect that is so wildly popular it is impossible to review manually. But automated review with 100% accuracy is not possible.

DMCA in many cases is not fair, but I don't think we as a global society have much of a shared view of how to handle digital creative content. Ease of digital replication doesn't match how much we generally value creative content.
But wasn't that the point? While any interest remained, the copyright holders wanted to milk every last drop of money to be paid for it.

Note, copyright holders often don't have your best interest in mind (like cultural enrichment or fun), or the original author's interest (like posthumous fame). They manage a property, an immutable and depreciating one.
There's a non-fiction book "The World Without Us" based on a similar premise, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Without_Us.
I mean - it's the whole point isn't it? To allow things to become part of the public consciousness. To borrow from that and extend upon it, to embellished and exaggerate it. Seems fine to me.

Presumably you can't then sell that into countries where the inspiration isn't yet public domain?
Not to mention refill time.

Not to mention safety.
I don't know where you are. Let us know how it works there. (1) In the US, most commercial real estate loans are short term. Three years or something? (looks like 3-10, longer than I thought) (Perhaps construction loans are longer). Far too short for the owner to repay the loan even if they wanted to. (2) And there is little reason for the real estate investor to repay the principal (except through sale or refinancing) - that would be leaving money on the table. You don't need to repay the principal. As long as you are in good standing you can roll over the loan into the next one - refinance. You can stay leveraged and use any profits to live on and buy more property (Until - not infrequently - things go bust and the bank owns the building.)

A different case might be a condo development: Private investment (rolled over from selling another property and repaying THAT loan) and loans to buy the land, loans to build, sell 60% of the units, - and there might be enough to repay most of the loan.
> But notably the high power consumers like electrical stove, air conditioning, washing machines etc. do not.

An electric resistance stove (radiant or exposed coil) would work just fine on DC, although, if it’s controlled using a TRIAC, that would need to change.

An induction stove uses rather high frequency AC, and that could be generated just fine from a DC supply.

Modern air conditioners use variable frequency drives, and those generally work by first converting the AC supply to DC.

I imagine that many modern washing machines also use some sort of variable frequency drive or DC-powered motor.
The best way to understand is probably to try it. I feel lost whenever I‘m outside a Fish shell. Other shells don’t provide as much immediate feedback. I never use it for scripting though. Fish script language is about as unintuitive as Bash, so I rather stick to Bash.
With a mature grid and better long distance (electric of course!) rail, electric cars and busses could have been the last mile instead of all the miles. During the War it was not uncommon for cars and busses to carry a little wagon for syngas generation. Imagine that, but with a system of battery wagons.
> You have to specify a fixed resolution, fixed size, and more often than not calculate the layout yourself, or use very limited auto-layout features.

It's an interesting idea. I didn't really understand what they meant by 'Spotify of heat pumps' but I think they're just saying subscription for maintenance.

> Aira customers typically choose to pay back the cost of the heat pump, and its installation, over 10 years, or half the expected lifespan of the heat pump. If a customer moves house, they are able to pass the contract to the next owner, or pay the balance of the deal off with the proceeds from the sale.

So what happens if you stop paying or can't pay? Do they come around your house and take it back?
Are fair use exclusions being considered as bogus? When I hear bogus I assume that means they never had any rights over the content to begin with.
It's setting your phone/screen to stop displaying color, instead just showing everything in greyscale. I believe that on Android you can currently set something like a bedtime for your phone that will stop displaying colors at a certain time, and if you have any time limits for apps then during the last minute before you run out of time it will turn grey too.
You can say this as many times as you want, but you're factually incorrect and conceptually misguided.

Streamlined isn’t a concern below 30 mph or so.
When I want to see inside a piece of software I look for (1) the source code; (2) the git-blame; (3) the code review for significant commits. I have never wanted to see into the history before that point, namely how the developer drafted and polished their idea prior to the final code review approval.

What practical use case am I missing out on when these work-in-progress draft commits are lost? I can’t see one.
Whether or not something is considered racist is not dependent on where it came from. It's solely dependent on if those in power feel like it is racist. Remember the Pepe the frog meme? Pepe was a meme that got used by the alt right and now it's a "symbol of hate".

No problem. From what I remember (thirty years ago!) at that stage in his career he was trying to stake out as many successful futurist predictions as possible, so the novels from around that time feel like excuses to shoehorn in lots of near-future "...and then there was a peaceful revolution in South Africa" stabs in the dark. Honestly, I found it tiresome. YMMV.
How else do you define rockstar? Does being worth 100x the next guy not qualify? This is specifically relevant because football is a salary cap sport - every dollar on Brady is money not spent on someone else and therefore is a direct reflection of his measured value on the field.[0] As opposed to euro-football or older F1, where budgets are more flexible.

To your question: You can always saddle a 'rockstar' with enough negative-value players to result in poor overall performance. You've contriving an irrelevant situation -- also one where you've put 53 rockstars,[1] against a bunch of highschoolers plus one rockstar. Just about every player on the Dallas cowboys, except maybe the kicker/punter would drag an average highschool to the state championship.

[0]And we all know how that has turned out over the last 20 odd years.

[1]Rockstar-ship is situational/relative - the backup RB on the cowboys is a scrub in the NFL. He would also be the best highdchool player in the country by a large margin (aka a rockstar).
Ah but the whole argument against internet piracy is that it is costing creators so much money in lost sales etc.

So even a small time rights holder who is losing sales (right? Right? Because that is what this is all about right?) should be happy to pay 100USD or whatever to ensure that they get all those thousands and thousands of lost sales that supposedly they lose from pirates.
This is one of the main issues in attempting to build a game like the Total War series.

I remember learning A* at uni while at the same time experiencing it's quirks on our shared minecraft server.

The server was really chugging and so I ran a trace on it. I found the zombies were stuck in a loop trying to find their way into a village that we had completely secured with a large fence. Being a naive implementation (at the time) it meant they never gave up.

I recall there being a bug report with a good amount of detail about how they were going about fixing it.
