Yes. Orchestration is not easy.
Copying a style is not a derivative work. You can copy someone’s style just fine. You cannot own a style.

I’m perfectly within my rights to make art with your artistic style. And I’m perfectly within my rights to train a bot on my own works. So what’s your argument? What am I not allowed to do with this poorly conceived law?
I’m not sure why you’d expect anyone to ‘win’? That’s not really how these sorts of markets tend to work. IIRC, currently VW Group, Tesla, BYD, Hyundai and Stellantis have 10-15% each of the European market (VW has a small lead, but it’s a couple percent); there’s no particular reason to think that any one will take over.

Tesla’s about half the US market, BYD’s 35% of the Chinese one. If anything, you’d expect that Tesla’s current US market dominance is more a function of the relative immaturity of the US market than anything else; for various reasons it got mainstream-appropriate electric cars somewhat later than Europe and China, and the US market is the smallest of the big three, though it’s catching up. It would be reasonable to expect the US market to trend more like the European one over time; a bunch of companies with smaller shares of a larger market.
I don't think there was ever a time this was true industry wide.
I think the most intuitive way to think about commits in a version control system is that they would be diffs. It's certainly how most people interact with git.

Even despite knowing that's not how they work in git, it's usually easier for me to treat them that way.
This site really has it all. Somebody took a whole lot of know-how about window blinds, organized it, published it online, _and_ they found a way to make some money to sustain it, without being obnoxious or burying the information in toxic SEO sludge. It's like the sheldonbrown.com of window blinds.

I wish I knew a site like this on every subject.

This page is a work of art, god damn it https://fixmyblinds.com/pages/troubleshooter
They’d detest anything resembling an intellectual conversation. Much like Reddit.
In germany bankruptcy (in the anglo-american sense of "resetting" all obligations) is only possible after a 3 year period[1] in which the debtor has to give up all income beyond a certain limit to the creditor.

Even this is only due EU regulations, which limited this period to 3 years, before it was 5 years.

>And then there's no severance clause/statement

Probably this a point on why I'm a programmer and not a lawyer, but I never understood how these could work. If not having them means that one part of a license could invalidate the whole license, then how does having this change things? Something invalidating the rest of the license would also invalidate this part of the license, meaning it would be just as enforceable as other parts of the contract. If this one clause doesn't get invalidated, then why would the other clauses also be invalidated?

All your peers want is for their software's licenses and other related things to be respected.

Many people publish their software under the GPL because they want to enforce that their work remains open and free for everyone. ChatGPT slurping up the source and emitting something based on it, that is then used in a non-free project makes it impossible to guarantee that your work will remain free.

I personally would be ok with my source code being trained on and used as long as the output from the AI is used within the rules of the license I choose.

It would also be a little different if we could train our own "AI", or if ChatGPT and friends were trained on something like Windows source code and the rest of the non-free code on Github. At least then it would be easier to believe that it's actually ok to slurp up code without respecting the license.

The GPL was designed specifically so that you could publish source code without the license being stripped from it by somebody else, that it will remain free no matter who or what uses it or derives from it. Giving the ability to strip the GPL from software as seen fit is something that should be scary and considered very deeply before thinking that it's ok.
"Coming from Ireland, I am always struck by how passionate people are about political parties. Most people I’ve met consider themselves on the left (Democrat) or on the right (Republican). When I ask them how they pick a side, they speak about how their ethical and moral values form the basis for their worldview, and help them choose a side. "

The author is misguided in attributing the "left-right" divide in America to national temperament.

There is a much more satisfying explanation: Ireland has as proportional representation in multi-member districtions with a single transferable vote. The U.S. has first past the post elections in single member districts. The latter necessarily generates a two party system and an associated coarsening of political discourse.

This is not to say that electoral system reform would lead to social harmony. But the peculiar nature of our rancor is a product of our electoral methods. If we adopted PR, we could have a legislature that reflected the true diversity of political opinion, geography, ethnicity, gender, etc. in the electorate.

This seems not true. I suspect one of many things Jobs and Cook have in common many tech leaders lack is "taste", a refined ability to curate well.

Thanks! This is a great question.

I intend to implement event recurrence, but this is definitely one of those things which will require changes across most packages of the project code. The details of how it will be implemented is still open :) Will surely look to other open source calendars for inspiration. Do you have any tips on solutions/APIs you like?
We've got to make it 10 years from now for demographic change.

Great fictional book about a possible 2024 era war, "2034: A Novel of the Next World War", Novel by Elliot Ackerman and James G. Stavridis. It's much more realistic than other novels. China sinks multiple aircraft carriers, they completely hack the us and turn off the power and telecommunications. Then the shit hits the fan. Maybe a limited nuclear exchange will scare the other side, the us and china start thinking.
With all the usual caveats about first-past-the-post and the two-party system not offering a good range of choices in the US, this guy is pretty off the mark. Democrats and Republicans are meaningfully different choices and I tend to assume that anyone suggesting otherwise is (purposefully or not) helping Republicans -- who stand the most to gain from people cynically removing themselves from the political process (as when more people vote, Democrats win, since their values are actually more representative of the majority of Americans). Plus Republicans are currently psyching themselves up for another coup attempt, while Democrats are... not. So that's a pretty salient difference.

The reason I think this guy is a actually just a right-winger posing as "above the fray" is because anyone who actually thinks Republicans are more in favor of free speech than Democrats has either been taken by propaganda or is a purveyor of it themselves. Consider how many Republican-led states are passing actual laws (e.g. "Don't Say Gay" in Florida) that prevent people from talking about certain topics, presenting themselves in certain ways, or freely traveling between states. There is absolutely no equivalence to this on the left. Which is the say the right is both worse AND different from the left in America, unlike what this guy claims.
Genuinely curious what do you see as the dangers and concerns caused by social media/potential dangers and concerns caused by AI?

Take the atomic bomb for example: it pretty much ended large scale industrial warfare on the level of the world wars. There are still wars but not ones in which entire continents are destroyed and entire generations across dozens of countries are lost. All things told the nuclear bomb saved the world a lot of suffering.

For the most part I tend to think of social media such as facebook etc as something that will soon be used mostly by out touch old people and hobbyists participating in hobby groups. All things told social media has probably helped the world more than harmed despite enabling Google and others to get filthy rich off private data, in the long term I suspect it will be a flash in the pan caused by the newness of seemless online communication.
Yes, but it's because Firefox "browser" is an app with WebViews. If you want more fine-grained opt-out then you should use Safari and opt out of websites on an individual basis. For other apps, it makes sense to opt-out on a per-app basis, for example I had to opt-out Deliveroo so I could upload a photo of my receipt in their WebView.

I'm not sure why anyone uses Firefox/Chrome on iOS anyway. It's the same browser engine as Safari. Personally I'm quite happy with Safari and extensions for content blocking.
>Where were the interviews with Cobol nerds standing in front of huge tape drives, sweating even in the chilly server room air as they mumbled inscrutable things?

Those didn't sell to the general public nearly as well as "oh my god we are all going to die", which seems to sell gangbusters to the same-ish cohort every ten years.
That kind of chaos is about simple systems that are unpredictable in the long term. That Lorenz system is just a few equations you could write on a napkin. Whereas your brain has billions and billions of neurons. (You might blame the complexity on having a lot of parts.)

That said, another aspect of dissipative chaos is that a highly complex system like turbulence (10^28 or so atoms bouncing off each other) often can be described by an attractor that is rather low dimensional and could be modeled with a few equations. So you might have some neural signal that tools like that could make an interesting model of.
What most people do is they trademark the name, that way even though someone might fork, they have to use a different name.

Something else you can do is use (A)GPL3. This means you automatically grant patent licenses, and anyone building on your work also has to release their source. You can then separately sell proprietary licenses without any of these restrictions.
It's a shorthand and like all shorthands it limits nuance but that doesn't make it completely meaningless.
> The downside of this is that it guarantees that politicians can never actually do any of the things they campaigned on doing

That's a bold and total wrong claim.

> with the result that politicians tend not to take policy development seriously.

Ah that's why Europe is such a shithole and the US is an enlightened kingdom.

> Parties end up standing for extremely vague positions even during election campaign periods

That is just wrong. Parties often commit to specific things.

> Because the system is in some sense inherently unstable you have a lot of government collapses

That's why Angela Merkel was only in her position for 2 years.

> and the promised benefits of representing everyone's views better doesn't happen in reality.

Ill taking anyway, thanks very much.

> Instead what happens is that every party just ends up being at a different point on the 1D ideological spectrum

Again, that's just false. The represented views are way broader then what you get in other systems. Sure you don't have anarchist parties and Nazis but that's because those are minority views.

> left and "center" parties form coalitions against the right wing party to deny them any representation at all, even if it means the government becomes deadlocked and can't do anything.

That's a very, very broad generalization. And even if its the case, its not necessarily wrong. If 25% are far right wing and 75% are strongly against that far right wing, then that should be reflected in the government.

> Overall the US system isn't perfect, but it's also not the great weakness Americans like to claim it is. The two parties are sufficiently loose and broad tents that they shift with the political winds easily

Having 2 parties is the outcome of an election process that is fundamentally broken and sometimes its a legally enforced duopoly. To claim that isn't fundamentally broken in terms of translating broad popular views into government is simply wrong. The European system are also broken in various ways but they are far better.
> I feel the point is a bit subtler. We should strive for improvement. We should also understand that that takes more than the normal amount of resources to do something different and better & either commit to spending what's required or, if we can't afford to, use something already proven instead.

Indeed. I wish this point were articulated that way more often.

> The half-done or broken improvements still get called "innovations" and give innovation overall a worse reputation.

We fetishise innovation as an abstract concept, for good reasons because you cannot have progress without innovation. What we tend to miss is that while innovation is good, some specific innovations are terrible. This is particularly infuriating when they are re-surfacing old, solved problems. Looking at wall tiling for example (or the cladding that can be found in much of the Underground): this was a good solution to a common problem. Bare concrete walls have obvious downsides, which is why we don’t tend to use them in building anymore. Doing away with tiling or cladding sounds like an architect being innovative, but if the replacement does not solve the problem, it’s a regression. It will look modern and clean as long as it will be properly maintained, which is to say for about a year, and then it will decay the way concrete does. It will eventually be clad, or reviled as a post-modern monstrosity the way some bad brutalist buildings are today.

Innovation for innovation’s sake is cargo culting progress. This is giving innovation a bad name.

My theory is that Americans struggle with this topic because of the distinct lack of socialist (for lack of a better word) policies.

If your society has a rigorous social safety net that essentially prevents homelessness and deep poverty, you can still have meritocracy in how the upper-middle class income is distributed, and still retain a good conscience.

If you have to pass rows upon rows of homeless people on the way to your six-figure-salary job, you need to either get rid of you conscience on behalf of those people, or be deeply critical of the system.
I agree this is well-made.

> This site really has it all.

Ah of course! Thanks a lot
Hi, I've helped several "startups" get off the ground, because I'm good at creating rapid prototypes that scale to production, and I like solving big problems, with contributions based on informed imagination. I've experimented a lot with AI, the practical type that doesn't require deep re$earch. I'd like to find a funded trial balloon type startup, where I can be a hands-on technologist for ideation, full stack software. I'm particularly interested in projects that succeed by doing what closed companies can't. Currently ET but soon to be PT, you can reach me at vid_hn@zooid.org. Thanks for your consideration!
It seems accurate enough to say the branch includes all the parents of the pointed to commit. It's a matter of definition, but both definitions are technically accurate.

(Also, note the path you ask us to cat does not contain the word "branch". You refer to how things are stored to support your definition, but the way things are stored doesn't use the term "branch".)

The real questions are: why blue, and why so bright?

LED indicators are useful, but they should be red (which comes with the added benefits of being less expensive and drawing less power than blue ones), and shouldn't be bright enough to light the area around them.
> Jobs can be completely right about the importance of what he calls “content”, but his aversion to “process” strikes me as short sighted.

Imagine if he wasn't so short sighted the value of the firm he could have created over the long term.

PS. I think you're also right, in that I don't see any aversion to process in Jobs, I see an aversion to contentless process people. Jobs loved a quality process.
That email doesn't seem to work :(
This was 40 years ago and he was stealing hundreds of coins a day.

Also, I'm sure you realize, but the US has had dollar coins since at least 1971. The public never really had much interest in using them and with cash use declining, I wouldnt expect that to change.
The post I responded to asked:

Are there any countries with good, reasonable tax systems?

VAT is a reasonable alternative to income taxes but neither the question nor my response ever specified "income".
Dictatorships don't care. Look at Russia, it's much worse than China, Russia still suffers from ww2 losses. You can distract the people with a "good war". China has so many more people than Taiwan, they can waste a lot. What do they care, many of the leaders believe it's their destiny to be the world leader. That's not a unique view, a certain group of americans believe the same about the US too.
Thanks! I appreciate it :)

Resizing is one of the next tasks in my backlog.
The title here should be different, as is it tends to encourage flaming.

I don't like that the first amendment is no longer enough because power to abridge speech in the "public square" is now given to corporations who bend to the public opinion of a small mob (mostly bored suburbanite youth) and advertisers. It's the Internet, can I make a dirty joke and say "fuck"? Apparently not. People are considerably more repressed than they were a couple of decades ago and they're cheering for it?

If content is so bad that it ought to be illegal, make it so and have the punishment go through actual law enforcement.

Then again a platform making money from its content producers does have some responsibility to be selective.

That doesn't at all extend to OBS Studio though.
Miguel de Icaza – Swift Godot: Fixing the Multi-million dollar mistake [video]
How absurd.

Kick is a platform. It isn't kiwifarms, it isn't 8ch. Further, I think it would be more defensible to lock out Kick (not defensible, but more defensible) if twitch had any other real competition in the live streaming space.

An open source project locking out platforms for allowing freer speech than twitch is shameful. It's embarrassing.

I agree there should be a consideration of where OBS funding comes from, and if I were Kick I'd support a maintainer of an OBS fork.
Interesting. I guess I agree on the idea just not the specific number of 48GB. Amd & Nvidia both offer prosumer GPUs with 48GB, the W7900 and A6000 respectively. I don't see how they would not increase that in 5 years?
Thanks! I was basically inspecting the page and reloading with 'pause on caught and uncaught exceptions' but I think that all that did was pause some Javascript before it ran.
I use it a lot and currently don't recommend it. If one of the computers is a laptop that goes into sleep, when you bring it back out of sleep it will, most of the time, be unable to find the other computer(s) (and will claim they cannot be found) until you exit Mouse without Borders and relaunch it (Edit: on the laptop). At least, that's my experience. I'm about to try switching to Barrier.

I mean, you’re really just saying that it should be fine for AI to copy stuff and because it’s impossible to verify, nobody can use it.

What good is training an AI if nobody can use it?

Pretending that disallowing AI is the same as disallowing everyone is a strawman. People finding you is a whole lot different than your work being copied being completely okay so long as it was an AI that did it.
