My condolences. Hope Ukraine and allies can can sustain enough pressure to free those lands.

Apparently you write merge sorts a lot; why and for what? Who writes low level code like that? I have and can but I don’t need it often. Seems you do? And if you do, then sure, it doesn’t fit the case.
not entirely sure what your point is, but i think you are saying that art is just a commodity we use for cheap entertainment so it's ok for computers to do the same?

in the context of what i was saying the definition of what is art can be summed up as anything made by humans. i have no problem when its used in memes and being open sourced etc.. the issue i have is when a human invests real time into it and then its taken and regurgitated without their permission. do you see that distinction?
I actually love the look. I'd love to drive a sci-fi truck; all the other cars look so boring and curvy in exactly the same way.

But I'll probably buy a Jeep or a Ford next because those employees don't watch me as I drive
Some of the best recordings I've heard (NPR) are only on YouTube. This leads me to believe recording quality is orders of magnitude more important than encoding, as long as a decent bitrate and encoding scheme were used.
Yeah there should definitely be a better governance structure preventing employee access without a structural justification like a law enforcement request, customer service request, etc.

As an owner of a model Y, I’m beyond pissed off they’re so lackadaisical with this stuff, to the point where I may just buy a different car.
I was pretty blown away by all the Popeyes! Ironically I saw a group of Popeyes white collar employees in Popeyes swag on my flight to France. Strange, I thought. Why are they flying to France? Lo and behold, “Louisiana fried chicken” was everywhere. Is it because Louisiana has French history?
FWIW, you're the only use of the word "steal" in this comment thread.

Many people would in fact argue that training AI on people's art without permission is copyright infringement, since the thing it (according to detractors) does is infringe copyright by generating knockoffs of people's work.

You will see some people use the term "stealing" but they're usually referring to how these AIs are sold/operated by for-profit companies that want to make money off artists' work without compensating them. I think it's not unreasonable to call that "stealing" even if the legal definition doesn't necessarily fit 100%.

The music industry is also not really a very good comparison point for independent artists... there is no Big Art equivalent that has a stranglehold on the legislature and judiciary like the RIAA/MPAA do.
It took about a decade of work to go from the first suborbital rockets to orbit, and even that was in the context of a competitive arms race. It actually took more than a decade but it’s not completely fair to count all of that time since there wasn’t a continuous effort between the V-2 and the US and Soviet rocket programs.
Or only store recordings locally or only store uploaded videos E2E encrypted. There are lots of ways to preserve owner privacy (not necessarily subject privacy) while preventing employee abuse.
You’re looking at it wrong. That $4 per song! What artist only releases one song ever?

Spotify and other streaming platforms pay royalties to an artist’s distributor and that aggregate of royalties from all platforms gets paid out to the artist when they reach the distributor’s threshold. Spotify is making that money no longer exist at all for indie artists.
> Apple maps is ... pretty bad though.

I thought the same thing till I bought my new car recently and started using Maps due to Carplay. It has MASSIVELY improved since launch. In fact, my wife is an Android user and we will compare them regularly on trips and in many case Apple Maps will cover parts of the route that Google Maps will not. An example is gated communities, Google Maps usually ends at the gate, Apple Maps will route to the house.

I think Google Maps has better traffic data (but that’s thanks to buying Waze), but Apple Maps has better routing. Google Maps has more up to date POI data, but Apple Maps is not far behind. Try it again and see, you still may be prefer Google Maps but it’s not the night and day difference between the two it once was.

> Nesrin Sipahi is a far cry from a small indie artist that relies on support by their fan base.

Who said this though?

This is what you originally said.

> If you care about the artist here pay them directly either through bandcamp

I responded to this

> I assure you that every artist that wants to make money will have set up _something_

Why did you bring 'far cry from a small indie artist ' into the picture all of sudden when you said 'every' in original comment.

Your original comment was about 'small indie artist' only ? You should've said 'small indie artist will always set up something' if you meant that.
agree that might be true for small artists.
Well UX is not aesthetics. The linked website _has_ good UX.
> The prospect of an isolated Russian interweb has become oh so real.

none of the comments below have picked up on this specific thing but Russia has done exercises on exactly this topic. they seem much more prepared to do it / want to appear to be willing to do it than any other large country that isn't already a police state.

Ultimately, algebra _is_ important and calculus is a useful setting to practice algebraic manipulation. Nevertheless, the trend in modern mathematics education in the United States is increasingly towards a more balanced understanding (e.g., greater emphasis on geometric interpretations).
AI's have learned much tougher things. You just need a small data set of poisoned images to learn it's features.
I have parsed a whole language using a precedence-based approach before - the first time I wrote a precedence-based parser.

It very easily slips away from you and ends up a maddening mess of extra rules and flags (and I keep making that mistake, to be honest, because the conceptual simplicity of a precedence-based parser - be it Pratt or shunting-yard or variations - is seductive), unless you remember that you can easily "mode-shift" between different methods.

E.g. "escaping" out from a Pratt parser to recursive descent (or anything else) for a sub-expression that is sufficiently messy to make it painful to model with precedence tables is fairly simple. It's worth keeping in mind (for myself too...) if your main parsing function and/or precedence table starts becoming too complex.
I think there’s one more factor which is that, by and large, hyperscaling has been proven ineffective for most companies. Sure, Uber got away with it, but nearly every company who goes public and triples their headcount in a year finds themselves less productive than they were before.
The psychopaths in a government have a monopoly on violence, though.
The reason the author I quoted said that is that most of the cost comes from the top. If we were taking on a couple trillion in extra debt, that seems like a rather minimal benefit to give ⅔ of it to the richest people.

Do you mean that people are only willing to talk about this once they've quit the company and don't have to worry about losing their jobs to talk about this kind of ongoing behaviour?
Totally agree. HN's dupe detector shows me when I'm about to post a dupe so I can not do it, yet at least once a week one of my submissions appears days later as if the submitter didn't have that dupe detector working.

Wow. 0F is just normal temps for many areas, for 3+ months. It's not really that cold. Many Canadians just start to wear gloves at that temp.
Only artists will understand this. Artists will dodge the bullet and carry on. Everybody else gets an invisible bullethole. They will suffer without understanding why.
> most people (don't) care about a lot of the artists they listen

Fair enough. Then don't pay anything?

> it makes them happy to see that I have bought their new cassette or vinyl

On the other hand, I do not want to buy merch, I don't care about physical media and I flat out refuse to buy something with DRM and/or through exploitative middlemen.
- "Blacklist/whitelist DO reinforce the notion that black = bad and white = good"

I'll bite. What's wrong with perpetuating the notion that the color black is evil and ruinous? Would humanity be kinder if we'd mourn our dead wearing colors other than black? (Would it be prosocial to start educating people about this issue at funerals?) Surely that's a much bigger concern than obscure jargon usage like "blacklist". If (accepting the premise for discussion) semantic overloading the word "black" actually harms people, then, I think associating black with people literally-dying should harm far more people, more seriously, than server configuration files.

If we're serious about this—if we mean what we say—we should prioritize the high-emotional-impact stuff, because that's logically where the heaviest sociological damage comes from. Death, disease, devils—all these classic associations. Not some anodyne computer pass/deny lists. Let's start talking White Sabbaths, and Light Satanic Mills.

(I think I agree with the intention behind these kinds of language ideas; I just don't think they can lead anywhere constructive).

Interesting that you mention Crunchyroll.

I subscribe to both CR and Spotify im the U.S., and one thing they have in common is terrible user interfaces (IMHO).

I would be so excited if CR provided an API to let subscribers write their own clients.
> Is it the best solution? Likely not. But the problem is real and does demand a solution of some form.

From the original article: "According to the Department for Education (DfE), which oversees Teachers’ Pensions, death register entries may be matched to scheme members even if personal details differ. The DfE told the Guardian that once a possible match has been identified, the beneficiary may be asked to confirm that they are not the same deceased stranger every 12 months since the system, administered by Capita, does not log a disproved link."

The problem is with the approach in attempting to reduce fraud.

Once a false positive from an incomplete match from the death register is proven false - when the pension recipient tells you they are still alive - you don't need to check up on that same incomplete match every 12 months, because you already know it's false.

Demanding "a solution of some form" completely misunderstands the problem and is the same approach that gave us the Post Office scandal.
No, the law defines all software development costs as R&D (technically "R&E") for the purposes of requiring capitalization: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/174 (c)(3)

This is regardless of whether you classify the costs as R&D for the purpose of claiming a tax credit under Section 163.

I guess it depends on what sites you want to visit using VPN. People here in Russia openly use VPN to visit Instagram etc., and no one seems to have an issue with that. But if you want to read some opposition sites, however... Now that's some gray area.

>Convenient for users, but you'd be hard-pressed to find artists who are content with the payments they get from Spotify. And that's across the spectrum, from world-famous pop artists to indie artists struggling to get heard.

You're aware that you're in a thread for a tool which circumvents payments?
Last night the family and I tried to watch Thor on Disney+. Everything appeared to be fine at first, but something was obviously off. The audio mix was screwed up really bad to where I could barely hear them speaking, and all the sound effects were basically non-existent, but the ambient music was extremely loud. I flipped over to Amazon Prime and rented it so we could continue our movie.

I pay for Disney+, Disney got their money and if I’d decided to pirate it instead of the convenience of Prime video I wouldn’t have felt an ounce of guilt. I keep trying to do the right thing, and they keep moving the goal posts. Whether it be adding DRM that increasingly causes the media to be available on less devices, or adding yet another service I have to invest in. DRM doesn’t work and only diminishes the user experience.

If you want my money meet me where I’m at. Stop forcing garbage down the pipeline.
I did most of that course and enjoyed it too. With regard to BEAM, OTP etc, do you have any Gleam-specific reading recommendations? The bit I’m unsure about now is how to structure and deploy a semi-serious server-side app that has some state to manage.
I recently pirated James Bond because the streaming service we pay for screwed up the subtitles.

So to be fair to your friends, they may also feel like they like pirating also because it is still more functional and customized. And streaming needs flawless internet while watching.
Prices not returning doesn't cause inflation. If prices returned that would be deflation.

As someone who grew up with OG Xbox live, I find this comment pretty funny. HN crowd’s got nothing on early COD
Love this. I do think there should be more opportunities to connect people across the world. I think if more people connected directly there be less faith in the filtered messages we get from our media and politicians.

To the creator of this:
- Thanks for creating!

- A small recommendation: maybe a little text paragraph on the landing page explaining it might warm people up a bit as to what to expect. Doesn’t need to be much and doesn’t need to be paragraphs of marketing babble. Actually, please def no to marketing babble… lol. But I think we’re conditioned to get a little explanation before jumping in.

Not a critique at all! I love this. And its just my 2 cents.
> because the sensor needle goes through the skin it must be replaced pretty regularly

I am an MRI radiographer and get patients to take these off for their scans.

According to the link below [1] they are good for 7 days. They aren’t cheap and removing them does cause some friction so I try tie the MRI scan up with a pending monitor change and quiz diabetic patients about them at booking.

Some have gone into the scanner by accident (patients not declaring them) and they seem to survive but I emphasise that the results might not be accurate afterwards.

> The other reason are contractual relationship with their customers - customer information is heavily NDAed, you can't just share it with whoever you want or even upload it into any sort of cloud. E.g. we have at work restrictions even on things like which geographical location the data can be uploaded to and which not, even on the same cloud provider! The customers don't want to take any chances that e.g. some government will want to "take a peek" - and then e.g. share the information with their competitor. This did happen before.

So how does this work then with MS Office 365 (uploading for example all emails to MS servers will also have some customer data exposed) or running your ERP in a cloud (like all ERP providers are preaching to their customers)? If clauses in contracts are enough to keep you out of legal trouble the same should be true independently of the size of the provider.
The point the poster was making was that there are sensors at similar pinch points on other cars to avoid the hazard.
Iran Revolutionary Guards reportedly killed in airstrike in Damascus
For a long time we were pretty sure that we had the oldest free-standing structures (i.e. buildings) in the world:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalithic_Temples_of_Malta

Apparently there's an even older contender in Turkey now, but, anyway you slice it, this stuff is old. The most recent of them (2500 BC) roughly equate in age to the oldest pyramids of Egypt.
And all they need to do to be commercially successfully in the consumer market is: none of that.

Which is why they aren't.

Also, if, once a year, every spotify listener picked one band they liked at random, and paid them the amount of an annual Spotify subscription ($132), there'd be a hell of a lot more money in artist's pockets than there is currently.

There are 8 million artists on Spotify, and 551 million monthly active users. That's $9000 per band on average per year. The 99.9th percentile band on Spotify makes $50K, and the 80th percentile artist makes $0. If we split the money across the 20% currently making any money at all, that's $45K per year per band. Therefore, the "pirate + directly pay one band at random" strategy would fund ~100 times more artists then Spotify does.

Also, if Spotify went bankrupt tomorrow and 100% of their users switched to pure piracy, we'd only lose roughly 15K below-minimum-wage jobs globally. There are currently 36,000 Spotify listeners for every band being paid what would be a median income for one person. If a tiny fraction of them decided to go to concerts or donate to appropriate non-profits, etc, it'd be a net gain of jobs for artists.

Note: There are only 220M premium subscriptions, so my numbers are a bit inflated. Ignoring the 330M ad supported listeners would lead to numbers that are too low. Also, I assumed people would pay for a spotify subscription which is more than the assumed $90.

Maybe divide everything I said by two?

Monads/Railway seems one step more than Pipeline in concept. The latter is merely connecting outputs to inputs (though I didn't get to the end of the video). Monads/Railway also handle other aspects such as errors (or side effects etc).

EROEI is only a problem if we're expecting it to get below 1 (or close enough given all the other systematic losses at the time), which I vaguely remember being one of the concerns with peak oil.

Solar can supply about ten times our current needs with 1% of the surface of the Earth, a completely circular system where PV today makes PV tomorrow only has recurring costs of (1/(EROEI+1)) of the total output — x10 EROEI becomes 9% of the lifetime output of a cell being used to make the next cell.

Isn't this the standard automation trajectory, of lower level work being done by machines, leaving humans to do the higher level work? Summarizing is a step before generalizing/inferring/what-if/creating. Even for knowledge-workers, wasn't the spreadsheet a similar automation?

Historically, automation creates more work than it replaces; but why should that continue? One reason is that automation is a commodity, so competition shifts to non-automated functions. Human demand continues.

Of course, this doesn't address the non-economic concerns of the Luddites, that the human investment in skills is lost, and the derived sense of human value and dignity. Unfortunately in the long-term: whatever your labour, AI is coming for you.
