> But the hard cold reality is that you cannot “own” an idea.

The above comment is true about the properties of information, as explained via the lens of economics. [1]

However, one ignores ownership as defined by various systems (including the rule of law and social conventions) at one's own peril. Such systems can also present a "hard cold reality" that can bankrupt or ostracize you.

[1] Don't let the apparent confidence and technicality of the language of economists fool you. Economics isn't the only game in town. There are other ways to model and frame the world.

[2] Dangling footnote warning. I think it is instructive to recognize that the field of economics has historically shown a kind of inferiority complex w.r.t. physics. Some economists ascribe to the level of rigor found in physics and that is well and good, but perhaps that effort should not be taken too seriously nor too far, since economics as a field operates at a different level. IMO, it would be wise for more in the field to eat a slice of humble pie.

[3] Ibid. It is well-known that economists can be "hired guns" used to "prove" a wide variety of things, many of which are subjective. My point: you can hire an economist to shore up one's political proposals. Is the same true of physicists? Hopefully not to the same degree. Perhaps there are some cases of hucksterism, but nothing like the history of economists-wagging-the-dog! At some point, the electron tunnels or it does not.
This seems like more of a rant than a proposal. The only concrete suggestion is an explicit versioning mechanism for C source files.
> "Congratulations, all the kids love this creative, high quality playground! Unfortunately they're all at the hospital."

The company even optimised the number of children who can experience it! A child in the hospital is one who got to use the playground, _and_ one who isn't hogging it, stopping others from experiencing it.
I was just thinking about this at lunch today! I have been working through the Advent of Code 2020 problems. Day 20 involves a very simple version of the reassembly problem, putting together square tiles with fixed size overlapping border patterns. I did the first phase of the challenge "by hand," but I was wondering how fast it would be with the recent advances in CNNs and Transformer models.
It's not a GUI it's a cli but very easy to use "ollama run {model}". you can also `ollama serve` which serves an api, and then you can use or build a simple gui.
Heirarchy of needs: baseline level of "Freedom from" poverty, conflict, instability comes before "freedom to" act liberally. I'd agree that making that transition in priorities is important, and that a government allow society to liberalize, but if you read his book, he lays out the reasons that he felt Singapore should be slow to socially liberalize (racial conflict being a major one, and deeper differences he sees between Asian and Western values, make of that what you will). IIRC, he also argued that their press is free, just not free to lie or embellish, so they would face consequences for exaggeration or libel. He thought that was necessary to prevent incitement to riot or political subversion.
That's not an unautharized copy, it's unauthorized distribution. By the same metric me seeing the image and copying it by hand is also unauthorized copy (or reproduction is you will)

> From TFA: "Note: At this point, I checked that Windows and various other UEFI tools are able to read the variables just fine, so Linux’ output is confirmed to be incorrect."

UEFI is a bit complicated and it's well known the EDD3 specifications can cause issues to efibootmgr, for example on Dell https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr/issues/86

I just think it'd be nicer to have a multiplatform way to tweak UEFI boot variable, so you can fiddle with your UEFI variables from either Linux or Windows without having to actually go into the UEFI shell or use a PE32 like RU.EFI : https://ruexe.blogspot.com/
They're not different codepoints, they're being rendered as mathematical markup by MathJax. This rendering includes using a LaTeX-esque font rather like Computer Modern.

Arxiv does this presumably because some papers have mathematical expressions in the titles and abstracts. For example https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.04991
I like to ponder if it is possible to create something that can actually be trusted. I think the complexity and obscurity of a medium would actually suit it to be a trustable recording device. For instance, an audio device recording and storing something outside of human hearing range. No model would be trained to generate those frequencies in that format so it would be useful as a check for if it is real. Something could be said about insanely high resolution imagery. You just need something outside the normal models. Obvious potential for people to adapt, but a short term option maybe.

Because it's more expensive. Utility-scale solar is looking for the cheapest possible $ per MW.

If you want solar car parks, warehouse roofs, etc. there need to be feed-in tariffs to encourage building owners to do it.
For a large amount it's likely that AML checks apply, but if you have most (> 50%) of a Bank of England note and can explain why they will give you new one instead.

https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/damaged-and-contam...

The form says you need to provide ID if it's £700 or more, and they need witnessed ID for £10 000 or more for AML reasons, sadly you can't apply in person so no tearing up banknotes and popping into Threadneedle Street to do it on the spot as a tourist.

As that link mentions if the problem with your "damaged" note is that it was in a dye pack which exploded during your bank robbery, that's not an "accident" and you don't get an undyed replacement note - you're a crook, if you weren't smart enough to give a fake name and address you're getting arrested.
It's a kind of a tax - computed from your income. Similar to health insurance (in Europe). There are caveats like "you must be actively looking for a job" and "you weren't fired for an offense".

The only guess I have is because it's the default interactive shell on macOS, while bash is probably more common on GNU systems.

But that also doesn't make much sense given that this is about non interactive scripts.

To be honest it's kind of crazy that for all the work that's gone into nodejs, it either doesn't have, or people don't know about, basic functionality that these examples are running a shell for.
Scraping is only legal if it's temporary and transformational. If Google started selling the scrapped images it would be a different story.

We as a species are surely not short on open space. "Wasting it" in this case means the cheapest possible utility-scale solar energy installations, which is what we need to not just displace all fossil fuel usage but lead to a future of energy abundance rather than shortage.

>Geography was pretty much the only thing we had going for us. That and amazing leadership.

The biggest asset, aside from being a port on a great location, was the right alliances, and foreign countries being the island being let mostly alone, and you not having valuable resources, plus the desire of the rich in countries around the area to use the island as a tax haven of sorts (and later, as their comfy home away from home).

Yew would have been thrown out of office in a week and some "coup" would have been organized if some big foreign power has special interests in the area and wanted him gone.

And if the island had resources like oil or such, it would have been invaded, occupied, "liberated" by some new traiting politician friendly to the outside, every second year.
The laws of physics are corporeal?

Sounds like a pretty luxurious position to be in. I wonder if your local Walmart associate ever thought of working for a more morally upstanding company? Maybe they could start their own retailer with better values. Should be pretty easy to spin up some distribution centers right?
Not at all -- it's the right way to introduce a modeln because it focuses on the novel. The reader can take it from there.

It's probably more than that. You have external GAAP, non-GGAP, constant currency vs. non-constant currency metrics, all sorts of internal accounting measures. With larger companies it's complicated. (Smaller companies it's more about cash flow even if they consider taxes as well.)
Agreed, I switched to Spotify when Google ditched Play Music, largely because my Google Home was terrible at using voice commands to play YTMusic "Liked Songs", I could never get it to work reliably. Then I found Spotify is just as bad at that use-case, but also worse at shuffle.

I had a friend that worked on Google Play, and he said it would have been much better if the labels hadn't gotten involved, in the form of demands made...

My primary complaint with YTMusic is that there isn't a way to "shuffle play", you have to start playing a playlist and then click "shuffle" and then click "next".

I want progressive fees on copyright/IP/patent usage, and worldwide gov cooperation/legislation (and perhaps even worldwide ability to use works without obtaining initial permission, although let's not go into that outlandish stuff)

I want a scaling license fee to apply (e.g. % pegged to revenue. This still has an indirect problem with different industries having different profit margins, but still seems the fairest).

And I want the world (or EU, then others to follow suit) to slowly reduce copyright to 0 years* after artists death if owned by a person, and 20-30 years max if owned by a corporation.

And I want the penalties for not declaring usage** / not paying fees, to be incredibly high for corporations... 50% gross (harder) / net (easier) profit margin for the year? Something that isn't a slap on the wrist and can't be wriggled out of quite so easily, and is actually an incentive not to steal in the first place.)

Dolphin-phi (uncensored tweaked version of msft phi) has been pretty good, I've been testing for only a couple days. It's 2.7B params, so depending on how much RAM the os is using you might be able to run that on 4GB. I run it on 8GB windows using wsl2/ollama and the OS takes up around 5GB (I think), so maybe....
Can you quantify this "many"? What were your data points for identifying them? What social media platform(s)? Where can I read more about your research into these "women who have bought into this"?

Failure is fine
Exactly, that's why they shouldn't be used. If you feel the need to use a right join, swap the direction around. And only use inner joins if it is the only type of join you use, otherwise specify conditions in the where clause. Both serve to significantly lower mental overhead when dealing with queries.

Natural joins are naturally more implicit, and while SQL tends to be a little bit verbose, given the significance of data integrity and the dififculty of testing SQL, the trade-off goes very clearly towards being explicit.
The tragedy of "your business model is not my problem" as a spreading idea is that while you're right since distribution is where the money is (not creation), intellectual property is de-facto weakened today and IP piracy is widely considered an acceptable thing.
Which character lowercases but not uppercases correctly? In which locales?

My understanding is that I will either lowercase to i or to ı depending on locale. Just like i will uppercase to I or to İ depending on locale.

In both cases, you have a problem if you want to support multiple locales. In both cases, if you set a fixed locale then it's fine.

It's a good question. Here's my specific use case, I'm sure there are plenty more.

I have a golf simulator running in the cloud (AWS) on a g4dn.xlarge ec2 insurance.

At home, I use a raspberry pi 5 as a thin client. It plugs into a 4k projector and streams down the display of the cloud PC.

Because it's cheap and reliable, I can leave it in place sitting up on the ceiling attached to the projector. I wouldn't want to devote a more expensive laptop to the job - the raspberry pi 5 is just man enough for the job, powerful enough but only just.

Inversely, what people think is ADHD can turn out to be depression too, so it probably balances out.

In distributed systems, there's even a broadcast hash join, in which the hash table is not distributed across shards and assigned to workers but copied in full to every worker. That way, the other side of the join need not be sharded and shuffled to align join keys across workers. This strategy can save a lot of time and network bandwidth when one side of the join is small enough to fit into a worker's RAM and the other side is staggeringly massive (e.g., logs). It lets the massive side be processed in place, as it's streamed from storage.

Yeah, that seems like a minor improvement that could be implemented... But the call is the important thing, check if someone answers.. if not -> call emergency services.. if yes, discuss next steps

The concern is that if a process reads a partially updated ticket number from another process, it might end up with a ticket number that falsely represents its position in the queue. The algorithm is designed to handle such cases:

If the read value is too low (because of a partial update), the process will wait longer than necessary, which doesn’t violate mutual exclusion but may affect fairness temporarily.

If the read value is too high, it doesn’t allow the reading process to jump ahead in the queue unfairly.

The key point is that even if a process reads a partially updated value, it either waits longer than necessary or gets a number that still respects the ordering. This is because the algorithm uses relative ordering (i.e., based on comparing ticket numbers) rather than absolute values.

Just as an aside - as a general accounting principle, no, wages are not always deducted.

The easy example is a car company, like Ford. If they buy a car factory, that is a capital asset, and the cost needs to be amortized over x years. If they decide to instead BUILD a car factory...they still end up with a capital asset, and the costs (including wages) need to be amortized over x years.

In most cases this is what companies want - they'll have revenues over x years and matching costs over x years is generally better for everyone.
Maybe not significant numbers, but my wife and I have both thought about switching (along with a move to a lower COL area) as an exit ramp from the corporate rat race.

I have a BA in economics and a 20+ year career in software. As best we can tell, in order to teach middle or high school in VA (I’d want to teach CS/IT) I need to obtain a Masters in Education to do so. Spending $30k+ on a post-graduate degree for a career with starting pay 1/4 of my current income doesn’t make any sense.

If there was an on-job path to certification it would be viable. But the expense of taking a year off work to get a Masters pretty well kills it.
There is a leap from "predicting the next word" to "modelling the world" that you are sort of glossing over here.

That's true of almost all DRM, isn't it? Even for the most annoying form that is always-online DRM, everyone is provided the same access to the bytes that form a game. You and I have the same bytes of game.

The "Scientific community" is not the one doing the labeling (nor is that even a coherent enough thing that one could hypothetically trivially ask it; it's an inherently organic, diffuse, grass roots concept). Netflix (or similar) is. If the last 3 years have taught me anything, it's that I don't trust organizations like Netflix etc. to decide what it is the scientific community has or does not have consensus on (which is also a much murkier question than you seem to believe that it is). Sometimes, the scientific consensus is obvious. Sometimes it's obvious that there is no consensus (yet). And other times, some people or groups think that there is (or is not) consensus when the opposite is true.

I think the pressing question here is what the Anki cards contained w.r.t. these problems :-)

The high school curriculum and the text books are not focused on proofs or famous questions. Further, the goal of the exam is to find out your position in the normal distribution of your peers' math skills. You are not supposed to be able to beat everyone else by rote learning (so if you can do it, it's quite a hack!).

I don't think ChatGPT is a good comparison, because it has obviously memorized much more than a human could, and a test to poke its strengths and weaknesses would look different.

You could crop the picture and the result would no longer be singed. However, if someone wanted proof that the cropped picture is genuine, you could offer the uncropped signed version and do a pixel by pixel comparison of the cropped area. Kind of like a chain of provenance to a signed source.

This could work for other manipulation. Change the colors in the image. Then if someone wants proof, offer the original and describe the transformation.

I Have No Mobile-Friendly Pages
I am an exception but I liked it and I really dislike outlook (and exchange). I was far more productive with Notes back in the day; it was easy just to automate whatever. I am happy I never will have to use either ever again, but thrown back in time, I would pick Notes over Outlook any time.
As far as I have tracked it down (quite literally up to the point where it switches into the EFI context to run the respective service handler), the UEFI denies a call to `GetNextVariableName` with `EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER` (that part is actually indicated in `dmesg`) even though the request appears to be specification-compliant (and the existing implementation evidently hasn't been an issue on any other notable hardware).

The main issue with fixing it properly is that I'd most likely have to reverse engineer the Windows kernel or the UEFI firmware itself (note to self: I haven't yet checked whether any of the *BSDs can read EFI variables in general and on this hardware in particular) to figure out where the request is going wrong/what Windows is doing different.

It's not impossible, given that one can unpack the UEFI PI firmware image into all the separate modules, but going through them to figure out where variable management is implemented will still take me a few weeks at least (not due to any particular challenge, it's just consuming a lot of time that I don't have right now).
No, it's not. As the other commenter nicely explained, this is mostly a byproduct of a very, very low tolerance of failure and extremely difficult conditions, like the impossibility to test it beforehand in the real environment.

Under promise, overdeliver, is a nice way to say that you're dishonest with the client. The fact you can overdeliver means you're making some trade-offs elsewhere, e.g. in design/production price, time, weight or somewhere else.

Overdelivering is a nice byproduct, but it shouldn't be the goal.
The Wrong Stuff
Nah. They take away physical menus because they need them for the next guests. Restaurants never - even high-end ones (which might be surprising, but high-end restaurants have more-expensive to produce menus) - never have enough menus. Owners skimp on printing menus because they're as penny-foolish as any other out-of-touch manager. At the worst places waiters hurry guests' orders, and hang around trying to intercept menus from each other. It creates a whole load of unnecessary stress: just make some more damn menus!
