I'm actually really interested in why people feel this way when in these situations. It's an app with cartoon-y characters and somehow when they don't match identity expectations, people seem to feel something about that? It seems so low stakes to me, I simply don't care about them, but some people seem to be really invested in these cartoons and that means I have something to learn about how brains work.
Brexit really is like the Robot Chicken skit with Darth Vader (“I have altered the deal, pray I do not alter it further” [1] every piece of news I hear about it involves things inevitably getting worse for the UK. The very personification of Lando’s “this deal is getting worse all the time”.

Here's a fantastic Veritasium video about snowflakes with a scientist that basically figured out all of the ways they can form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao2Jfm35XeE
I don't see what's so absurd about it. On the one hand, we have people talking about the "actual" history and "coherence points." And on the other, we have people talking about rewriting history so that it is curated. For example, in the follow-up comment, they said, "So now you've erased the record of your actual process." As if there is one "actual" history and one that isn't. But neither are actual history, and that's what I'm pointing out. Pointing out that both are forms of curation is important because it makes it clear that the difference is a matter of degree, not of something categorical.

But no part of this leads one to conclude that the most possible curation is the best. So your "reducing your argument to the absurd extreme" does not follow. If you're trying to use it as a rhetorical device, then try harder. If you already acknowledge there's a line to be drawn and that both are forms of curation, then I don't see what we're disagreeing with.

> No, I’m reducing your argument to the absurd extreme. We both acknowledge there’s a line to be drawn.

I just explained in my previous comment why my argument doesn't let you draw the extreme conclusion. If you don't want to engage with it directly, then don't bother.

> as if that has anything pertinent to add to the conversation

Pot, meet kettle.
Hacker News has been declaring Evernote dead for a long time, but these Italian guys from Bending Spoons are improving the app notably. It now works better and I hope one day we will reach a performance comparable to the old app.

I'm happy they introduced limitations in their free tier. As a paying user, I want my euros to be used to improve the app not to subsidy free riders.

"Who truly owns the tales of Snow White and Cinderella?"

If you want to make your point, you need to choose something that isn't already public domain. Disney already only owns their own interpretations, and, arguably, whatever penumbric emanation they can convince a court is stealing from them, but it still certainly isn't the entire space of Snow White and Cinderella stories. There is some fairly recent stuff being used in the images in the article and there isn't even any question whether or not it's Mario or Coca Cola; if Nintendo and Coca Cola did a cross promotion I could believe the exact images that popped out.

If they were trying to claim the entire concepts of dumpy plumbers dressed in any manner vaguely like Mario that would be one thing... but that's Mario and Luigi, full stop. That's Robocop. That's C3PO. It's not even subtle. If we can AI-wash those trademarks away then we can AI-wash absolutely anything.

Russian sock-puppet social media accounts were commonplace. Especially check the "twitter bots" section of that wiki page. Some choice quotes

> In November 2017, The Times reported that researchers from Swansea University and UC Berkeley had identified around 150,000 accounts with links to Russia that tweeted about Brexit in the run-up to the referendum.

> A working paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research claims the influence of Twitter bots may have been significant enough to impact the result, roughly calculating that automated accounts may have ultimately been responsible for around 1.76 percentage points of the 'Leave' vote share.

Yes, mostly because they were ALSO under the assumption that the promise of deregulation was such a great thing. The manipulation wasn't entirely one sided on the plebs, it was a concerted effort, and not just ONE international interest had their fingers in it...
“Russia meddles in UK politics” isn’t a controversial claim.
It should be one building block when learning a language. as you said, the gamification works just as well as achievements etc. in video games to keep you going, but add whatever interests you to the mix. like music, tv shows, try to talk to people (not always possible of course), memorize short poems and say them out loud, whatever you can come up with.
Just adding for audience clarification and context:

Techdirt is mostly about post-reporting analysis. They tend to come in when a story is a few days old and understanding has some percolation time.

There are various VPS providers that allow you to announce your own IP space. Vultr, for example, allows you to do this. See https://docs.vultr.com/configuring-bgp-on-vultr

When the solution people suggest is that the Brexit vote never should have happened, it seems like they are suggesting the only way to protect democracy is stop people from being able to vote
You have to understand the code the AI emits, to be able to check if it's done what you wanted. That's sometimes more challenging than writing it yourself, as it may use features you're not familiar with.

Which is not to say it can't be useful, but don't expect a cure all.

I'm flipping back and forth on my analysis of the situation as I'm reading your exchange, for what it's worth. So you're both stating your perspectives well, and holding valid positions as far as in concerned.

My original (and common) perspective is to favour dynamism and choice ecologies.

But then I realized there's an interesting analogy here of mimicking how life tends to navigate the explore-exploit tension. For example, in lifecycles or social creatures:

Childhood as a solution to explore–exploit tensions
https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.2019.050...

Explore first (like "stupid" and "rash" children make decisions, in breadth first search of solution space) and then slowly ratchet into a more exploitative strategy, capitalizing on learnings. So adapt the decision strategy over time, instead of expecting a continuously applicable strategy. Older organisms adopt this strategy, and it's evolutionarily selected because it works in most environments.

So it's perhaps not unreasonable to make very exploratory hipster choices at the start, and then adapt to become more conservative after childhood :)
It might be more similar to zrok's caddy integration where you can get "fancier" than just delivering files? Blot is trying to do different stuff than zrok is it seems. Like, it's processing markdown, zrok doesn't try to do that for example. zrok is more about sharing easily. blot doesn't appear to be open source from what i can tell and it's not self-hostable as far as I can tell. seems pretty different overall. I'm not exactly sure what blot is trying to do/be.

It's funny because a few years ago everyone was stating this. Now that GPT and transformer technology exists, abolishing copyright is suddenly no longer popular. It's almost like this is just one giant echo chamber and things swish and swirl like the ocean on opinion.
Positives:

- Zero discernible benefits so far.

Negatives:

- Loss of freedom to live, work, study & retire across Europe. Visas now required, often with high income requirements.

- 90/180 day limit on travel. Longer queues at airports, etc when entering the EU to get passports stamped.

- Loss of access to EU/EEA single market, so exporters face significant red tape. This benefits larger companies who can deal with the paper work versus smaller companies in the UK - but still disadvantages all UK companies compared to their European peers.

- Increased mobile roaming fees for UK travellers to Europe.

- Outside Digital Single Market: we can no longer watch TV services like Now TV, Sky while traveling in Europe even with a VPN.

- Loss of EU "passporting" rights for UK financial institutions.

- Irish Sea Border leads to some strange outcomes: creates a customs border within the UK and those born in Northern Ireland have more rights than those born in England, Wales and Scotland since they can retain EU free movement by applying for an Irish passport.

Before Brexit a UK citizen could just jump in a car, train or plane and travel across the EU/EEA almost as if they were in their own country.
I was talking about language syntax, and in particular the way proof terms for linear logic (which linear type systems come from) already provide a syntax for this.

But in fact we also have multiple options on the more programmer-familiar side of this- `try/finally` blocks, `defer`, etc. The problem isn't limited to linear types so it's already been pretty thoroughly explored.
> Training an LLM is akin to human learning. It is legal to read a textbook about music to learn music

If you learn a little too hard though, and reproduce the original textbook in it's entirety, you'll get in trouble.

My guess is that courts will determine that the training itself will not be found illegal, but either the AI companies, or the users, will be found liable for reproducing copywrighted work in output, and no one will want to hold liability for that.
I don't think that's actually true. The EU hasn't been doing anything to stop its member states from going further in military support for Ukraine, so the UK would still have been able to go further than Germany wants to go even if it were still an EU member.

EU control over foreign and military policy has clear limitations. Most decisions in that area are done by unanimity (so Germany has no more power to block them than any other member state), and for those done by a qualified majority, while Germany has the largest vote (having the largest population, 19%, it was smaller pre-Brexit), it can be outvoted (65% of population is the threshold). Generally it involves the EU adopting a consensus position on certain issues, but leaving member states free to adopt their own policies in areas for which no consensus position was been adopted, and (very often) to go beyond the consensus in ways compatible with it.

Strongly agree. Denormalizing data can sometimes be a good idea, but I don't consider this to be a reasonable justification.
Makes sense. Good example.

Well then they are pretty fucking stupid.
You Know It's a Placebo. So Why Does It Still Work?
I think in order for something to properly be a tool it needs to behave deterministically. I don't need to understand every particular of how it works internally, but as the user I need to be able to rely on consistent, predictable results. Otherwise it's worse than useless. Hand tools, machine tools, programming languages, vehicles, CAD/CAM/CAE tools are all like this. You may have to do some learning to become proficient in the tool, but once you're proficient in its use it's very unlikely to ever truly surprise you. Generally those "surprising" experiences are pretty traumatic--hopefully only emotionally (if you've ever experienced a chainsaw kick back you know what I mean).

So I'm not sure how I could use an LLM as a tool, but maybe I'm just not a sufficiently proficient user? It seems like they're just too full of "surprises".

Scottish NHS has more funding per head and worse outcomes

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-67828648

Funding is still way below european levels though, always has been, the crisp is that the money is being spent on agency staff rather than employed ones, meaning not enough staff and a lot of rich people creaming a lot off the top

Brexit is one key cause of that staff shortage.

For the record: Some of these are a bit over-the-top, and Amazon is trash for anything safety-related, but for the record, virtually all fuses have a pretty significant margin before they blow. The risk here is very limited:

- A 2A fuse needs to conduct 2A, no matter ambient temperature, manufacturing variation, age, etc.

- 95+% of the time, what you're protecting from isn't a minor overload condition but a short.

This means a reliable fuse purchased from the best manufacturer in the world won't blow at 2A. Something like 3-4A is perfectly reasonable. 5x rated current is not okay, but 2x is well within norm.

Even at 5x, though, the risk here is not huge:

- You've caught shorts which is the most common failure mode.

- Everything carrying current typically has a ton of safety margin built in, so even 2x isn't really a big deal.

- There's a fairly narrow set of failure modes which (1) won't blow the fuse AND (2) will still be small enough to be less than 5x.

- Those failure modes still need to occur near something flammable.

The key reason why there is a risk at all is that power is a square law of current. If this was 5x heat / power, I wouldn't be worried /at all/. 5x current is 25x power and 25x the heat, which is more of a problem.
Amazon is a gamble. Buying (and returning) is very convenient. But the goods are sometimes not very good quality. I wouldn’t buy food or critical installation parts from there. Some weird brands are totally fine for consumables. Others are obvious scam and can be returned. I see a trend, that consumer must think more and more what and where to buy. Analyze sellers, look for their addresses in the map. Even search for financials.
One major point which this article failed to mention, is that macOS only lets you run two VMs at the same time.

So if you were thinking of getting a mac mini to use as a build server, just buy the absolutely cheapest model.

Unlike on Linux systems, you're not allowed to have enough VMs to actually fully utilise the hardware. So buying headroom (resource wise) is a complete waste.
Then don't use UUIDs, use snowflakes / flakes

Nah, I'd say in the 2010s, Amazon was just a competitor for regular brands you could find in any store here in the US but since around 2015-2016, you seem more DINGPOW equivalents.
The rest of the world is welcome to try. They might not like the results when the US Navy no longer safeguards the majority of international trade.

Ironically, China has been one of the primary economic beneficiaries of the postwar Pax Americana. Their merchant ships have been able to travel freely throughout the world without incurring the expense of building a true blue-water navy to protect them. This situation will gradually fall apart over the next few decades.

It is my understanding that in collage works and the like, the artist has copyright over their creative inputs to the resulting piece, but does not gain any rights over the bits they cobbled the final together from. If I understand it correctly, even if the museum created a fancy collage for the side of the building, yes they would own that arrangement, but not any of the paintings which went into it. They still couldn't stop you from sharing images of the original works therein.
Lots of interesting data, but for me, clear examples of why histograms are not particularly useful for comparing performance.

Heh, I am a EU immigrant to the UK, been with my wife 30 years, and both my in-laws were rabbid brexiters of course....

Until I told them they were voting for literally preventing their daughter and me the life we've been living. Their grandkids, everything wouldn't have been possible without her being allowed to work there, and me being able to work here...

They hadn't realized that of course, because you know, as far as immigration goes, they were just fine with the lovely polish lady at the shop, and me of course, what they didn't want is 'them' (not entirely clear who that is).

My main issue is that it’s scattershot diversity, not a thoughtful diversity.

Scattershot diversity is what Hollywood films also are finding out causes anger. It’s when you take all the races, genders, etc., and just make sure there’s at least one of each in every movie. This also ironically cheapens diversity, because everyone doubts whether that character would have been there if it wasn’t for the race card.

Compare this with targeted, meaningful diversity. A film studio might make 4 films: One set in 1500s England, one in modern Congo, one in Brazil, one in Mongolia. The British one is almost entirely white people, the Congo one almost entirely black people, etc.

My point is: Vary up the locale, and keep the diversity accurate to the locale. If the locale is diversified enough, the diverse representation will follow with almost no complaints. It’s not like Europe has a monopoly on stories - I’m sure that every culture has stories untold that could be adapted into interesting material.
