Tech developers keep getting things wrong. Now we have self driving cars that won't obay authorities telling them to stop, one of the most foundational driving skills.

I do property maintenance and there is a lot of similar difficulty. It will take a lot of development before robots can do cleaning, dusting, and make beds well and efficiently. But the larger task is negotiating what exactly should be done in available time and how exactly, such as using low phosphate soap with soft cloth or bleach soap with tough sponge.

What I see happening is there is a huge amount of subtle know how being lost as people retire without training replacements, let alone AI replacements.
Also, in quite a few houses, the initial run of water out of the hot tap is cold for quite some time until the hot water has either made it round from the hot tank, or if you have a combi boiler system then after that has fired itself up, got up to temperature, and then the hot water has made it round the pipes from there. It may be that the washing machine uses so little water that most of the water it gets from the hot supply is cold, wasting all that energy.
A motor block going through your head might concern you more than an image of yourself going through someone else's head. ;)

I'm confused when you say "it adds up over my day", since (1) is a one-time action you take when signing up to Flattr (e.g. I chose to donate £10 per month). I also wouldn't distinguish between (2) and (3): clicking the button is choosing to donate.

Yet you could subscribe to a creator with Flattr for less effort (literally just click any of their Flattr buttons twice within a month; no need to "choose an amount" or anything). I'm very confused about how you think Flattr worked...
The ISP didn't block the game server. Ubisoft blocked the entire ISP, so there are only two parties at fault. Presumably, they also block VPNs. Either way, switching to emulation is cheaper / easier.

I'm guessing Nintendo is more worried about Switch emulators than Ubisoft, so I think my rage is directed appropriately. :-)

"Because most did not teach tested grades and subjects, the researchers also looked at evaluation ratings. Both groups of teachers received similar marks from their supervisors."

That is, they cannot speak to how effective the teachers were as educators, only how disruptive they were as employees.

Jesus. The point was that people are, and can be content on living in SF and NYC on under $100k. It's offensive that you think that every single person who makes 70k or whatever range is living in a box filled with rats or whatever you think it is.

Who do you think cooks, cleans, and serves drinks to people in SF/NYC? Sorry they aren't up to your standards living wise.
The issue is that if piracy were legal, the financial damage would become very real. Therefore it has to be made illegal. The fact that it’s not technically stealing is a side issue.
Daily multivitamin improves memory in older adults: meta-analysis study
Under your same logic nobody should buy anything from your employer because they don’t pay you 100% of their profits. Probably only 2 or 3 dollars of every 10 they make goes to salary.

But we all know running a business has costs that aren’t salary.

Artists who sign to major labels get promotion and other assistance that costs money. That’s the trade off.

And they’re making less money than before because people pirated with Napster. Just look at music industry revenue charts. It only just recently exceeded pre-Napster levels and that is before adjusting for inflation. The average person is spending less money on music than they did in the 90s.

A new release CD was like $17 in 1995. So that’s $34 today. That would buy you one album. Today that buys you 3 months of listening to unlimited music.

So the price of Spotify is like when someone only buys 4 CDs every year.

Makes me wonder. At what point will Apple try to build/buy their own foundry?
It concerns me when people insist that chat GPT is doing the same thing humans are, or even the same thing knowledge workers are doing, because it indicates to me that a lot of people aren't aware of conceptual understanding and reasoning and critical thinking and problem solving and applying those things to your own thinking through metacognition in order to self-improve and self-correct, and are instead just acting by rote and regurgitating things essentially from memory with a little bit of synthesis, when they are capable of so much more and absolutely should be doing so much more. So perhaps the thing we've learned is that chat GPT has taken over the realm of some things only humans used to be able to do, but even though it fundamentally is not structured in a way to allow it to do the more advanced things humans do, so many people were just doing those basic things that it took over, that they can't tell the difference between a human and a large language model, and I think that's really kind of sad and upsetting.
Watch Spotify revoke their public API key or reduce access to the public API because of this
I can afford streaming services but I pirate anyway. Why? Ads. I'm not paying to watch ads. Simple as.
>If you’re an independent artist you can live comfortably off of a small Spotify audience!

Didn't Spotify recently stop paying any royalties for tracks with less than 1k streams?
This. Period.

It depends on the state, but in some cases yes. In New York there are undergraduate programs which provide an "initial certification", which is sufficient to teach in a public school for X number of years. However, you must obtain a masters degree before the initial certification expires.
You are mixing two things - everyday corruption experienced by an average citizen and the top of the government corruption which arguably is even worse in the US than in some African countries because it is made legal and happens in plain sight
Having been an accountant early in my career before becoming a software developer, I'm amazed that this isn't the primary argument.
You'd probably call me accomplished and maybe even confident (I learned to muster enough confidence to give a public talk) but I still have phone phobia.
From my understanding, Kagi uses Google Search as a source, probably using residential IP proxies, and filter and reorder the results based on a few metrics such as the amount of ads and the domain blocks by the Kagi users.

Your CPA is not correct.

Any software development costs related to improving the product by providing new features must be amortized. Only clear bug fixes can have costs that are expensable.

This is made extremely clear in the IRS guidance document.
Two out of the three of those are heavily military-based, and thanks to the cold war, the US and Russia have been heavily investing in the military for over half a century. So maybe that's not a fair comparison to make.

Besides manufacturing capability, I think determining whether something is a "failed state" or not, you need to look at other things, focusing more on social details. Is the government truly democratic? Is the law applied more-or-less fairly and equally? Is the press free, and are people able to discuss things without fear?

Aside from manufacturing exports, how is the internal economy - are people able to afford the basics, and things that might be considered luxuries? How's education, how's the ability to travel both internally and externally, how's economic and social mobility?

I don't think container-ship-tonnage is a great metric of whether something is a failed state or not.
No, I will have to strongly disagree. Years worth of effort for hundreds of people go into a AAA Game, just like a blockbuster movie. The agreement then is, you pay somehow for the right to consume their effort. You pay directly to the game, or you pay a subscription service that then distributes its pot to the game according to their agreement, but you have to pay. That’s the social agreement. If you don’t, then you’re breaking the social agreement and you’re stealing, there’s really no justification for it.

Let’s say you somehow find that you pirating does not matter in the grand scheme of things, or might indirectly increase sales. It still does not matter. You are a part of an agreement that you should honor, not break, they didn’t hire you to market the game or to improve their sales.

Personally when I was a teen, I used to pirate games because my parents did not buy me any. Then I became a software developer. Now I can only sympathize for piracy if it’s for educational resources that uplifts you, kind of like Sci-hub. For games/ movies you need to think, do you deserve to consume years worth of effort that they put into it? Do you deserve to be entertained by their effort? In my eyes you only do if they willingly give it to you, which only ever happens if you buy or subscribe to a game.
If I was researching Google search quality, I would do searches on Google. I guess this simplistic view is why I'm not an academic researcher.
I agree with you that it seems to work fine on playlists of less than 50 or 100 songs.

The problem seems to be that on larger playlists they will only use 50-100 of the tracks to shuffle through. Most times I'm listening to music I just want to put on a shuffle of all my favorites and listen. It's been that way since I got my first CD changer. Maybe that's a super unusual use case, but it's my primary one, and I get really tired of hearing the same songs repeatedly over a week. YMMV, my wife for example likes listening to the same songs every day.

As I mentioned above: I copied my Spotify playlists to YTMusic and am doing the same "shuffle my liked songs" and I'm literally hearing songs Spotify hasn't played for me in years. Usually the algorithm complaint in music players is that they are using random rather than shuffle, but even in that case I'd think that 2K songs over 2-3 years, I'd be hearing SOME of those songs that YTMusic is playing but Spotify is not. The cynic in me figured that they were prioritizing the songs by the ones that made them the most money, or from artists that paid for placement. But something about their shuffle is just totally off.
"Spotify is about as convieinient as a streaming music platform gets"

That doesn't mean that an alternative client isn't more convenient.

We don't need a bunch of corps gatekeep human culture from people just because they live in the wrong country...
Yeah, not sure what that guy is talking about. Sentry mode (aka cam on while away, and detected using accelerometer and visual cues like you said) doesn't upload footage.

AFAIK, the footage upload was a data sharing toggle, and the videos were supposed to be used as training data for FSD. Why garage videos, or any videos with the car not in motion are being uploaded is a big question.
That seems very shortsighted. I would stop buying titles if I only ever got one return. Particularly in this case where the thing doesn’t even work out of the box. In fact I’d say it’s a good reason to avoid the platform entirely.
I'm as rubbed-up-the-wrong-way by Google as anyone ... but I'm currently having a better experience with Bard than with chatGPT.

User experience is absolutely better.

Results: yesterday I had an important query so tried different models, Bard came up with the most helpful answer. I can only imagine that the free Bard version is running at a decent clip, whereas the free chatGPT may be substandard (as I hear good reviews of the paid version). Possibly a strategic mistake by openAI.

>The story seems blown out of proportion.

Not really? You had large numbers of people literally having to get their cars towed. If I lived in Chicago and needed to charge my car, I'd absolutely want this reported on.

Anytime there has been a gas shortage and long lines (like when Florida faces a hurricane) it is quite newsworthy. Both for the people that live in the area (so they can make other accommodations) and nationally so they know they should probably stay clear of the area. Are you running around complaining about that reporting as well?

>There are way more interesting and important issues to report on, and I wish that NPR, which is one of my main news sources, would do a better job.

Like what? You're acting as if there's some major breaking story they ignored to report on this. Can you point to anything beyond a vague "there's other things they could report on and this isn't interesting to me personally"? You haven't actually stated why this isn't newsworthy beyond you don't feel it is. What about "hey don't go to a supercharger if you live in Chicago and it's super cold" isn't important or newsworthy to Tesla owners/renters/drivers?
I was taking time off in 2022 when my daughter's high school CS teacher quit (to take a job at Microsoft).

I volunteered to step in until they could find a qualified replacement. It ended up working out, but it was a pretty big problem to have an unlicensed teacher in the school. They ultimately had me enroll as a substitute who just happened to get assigned to the same classes every day, but they said if I wanted to come back the following year I'd need to become officially licensed.

I could see myself teaching high school in retirement. Helps the community, keeps you busy, and your summers are open. But not if I have to jump through a bunch of make-work hoops for the privilege of helping out.
> This is just a data quality problem

Isn't this really a process problem (i.e. a missed requirement), so that after the first instance of a queried match (for whatever reason), the unrelated death record (which will have some kind of unique document identifier or can have one derived from the information on it and date of issue) can be excluded from being matched against the subject user? (As realistically you could have 2 people with same name and DOB, it seems like the issue here is not data quality.)

It sounds like nobody created a requirement in the design stage for the ability to say "I've checked this, it's not the same person, don't flag this same death entry again". That's maybe not something envisaged at requirements time, but the need for it now becomes apparent.

We really need to get better data that's disaggregated based on reason for homeschooling. A lot of academically inclined parents are afraid about the risks of homeschooling when they're not really the population that needs to be targeted by messaging about the risks of homeschooling.
Just as a thought exercise, if anything was possible:

UBI seems to work towards the goal of making sure people don't die due to lack of resources (it is a basic income, after all). It's less clear how it works towards the goal of reducing carbon emissions.

Rationing, on the other hand, has the potential: Natural resources (publicly owned ones anyways), and perhaps natural limits like how much CO2 the skies can take, are collectively owned by the people. So it could make sense to distribute those amongst the people. The people could then sell them in a free® market. This means we can work towards both goals at once: Those seeking to pollute more, could simply buy the carbon credits from their fellow people, who can now better afford to live. And, at the same time, total pollution is capped-ish, depending on the scheme.

As a fun note, UBI is just rationing out the available funds for UBI, so it would suffer from any rationing-specific failings that carbon rationing would suffer from.
incompetence has nothing to do with it; it's about power. tesla's posture with respect to the users of its cars is that tesla controls what the software running on the cars does; the users do not have the right to study, modify, copy, or redistribute the software. unsurprisingly this incentive structure means that tesla has no incentive to protect the users' data from tesla employees' abuses, since the users can't study the software to detect it and wouldn't be able to modify the software to stop it in any case or redistribute their modification to other users

if there is software running on a computer in your house or your car, it is absolutely essential for that software to be answerable to you in these ways, not to the manufacturer of some product. currently that perspective is far outside the overton window, so we can expect to see increasingly egregious abuses like this for decades

Producers and record labels do provide a service with distribution which artists share their commissions for. The idea that the record labels don't deserve their cuts is confusing, do they also not have employees and artists?

Jack Harlow might be one example, but you see the dearth of D2C music and platforms like TIDAL that the marketing and distribution network does matter, and helps good artists take off. Whether you believe mainstream music is "good" or not, is up to your preference
Typing this from Moscow, over OpenVPN. I have been around the country over the last year and am yet to experience protocol-level blocks (although there are credible reports this happened, just not in my experience). It seems like the current wave is about blocking popular providers. Folks with own server, like myself, are not a target so far.

I'd expect the government to cool down expansive internet censorship until the "elections" in March, since hitting the preapproved outcome figures will be harder this way.
Right but that means you need a special setup either way. In europe you just have a normal electric plug, nothing special.

Conceptually not as far as I know.
Have no fear, the requirements to receive the benefits is rising; such as 30y teaching not before 68yo. When my SO went full time as a public school teacher her salary only modestly contributed to our retirement, healthcare costs, and covered childcare for the kids too young for school. Our bank account didn't receive enough money to cover the other bills when I was briefly laid off. She considered teaching a net loss and didn't renew her contract.
A while ago I bought one of those plug-in power monitors, and went around measuring everything I could find around the house. It's a worthwhile exercise, I think. You can leave an appliance plugged into it for as long as you like to get an average. I was able to make a pie chart of where my electricity is used in my house, which was enlightening, and led to some useful changes.
Lol, that model had certainly not "proven to work" when Flattr launched in 2010. Sure you can point to Patreon (launched in 2013), OnlyFans (launched in 2016), etc., but that would just be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindsight_bias

Your analogy falls down because the act of taking a physical good deprives the current owner of that good without recompense. That is the definition of stealing.

Software and digital content piracy does not deprive any other owner of anything else, this is isn't stealing in the legal sense. It may be financial harm or copyright abuse but those are both separate crimes from theft.

Piracy isn't legal, but it isn't theft either.

Is it really a problem? An ESP8266 (which is not the most efficient thing, but is very cheap) uses about 0.5W while transmitting, much less most of the time.

For reference, I have some smart outlets that I measured using a while ago, pulling about 0.05W on average from the wall, or 36Wh a month. That's about as much energy as making 500ml of coffee or charging a phone 2-3x.
If you’re talking about North American political leaders, they really can’t. LKY had a lot more power than anyone can have in most countries political systems.

EA is easily worse.

I worked for Ubisoft for 6 years and theres a combination of:

* the business reality being harder than you think

* certain peoples ego. (notably Serge Hascoet, and his pressure to push games to be the same; towers to unlock the map etc)

* Good intentions being misconstrued (uplay is designed to give people cheaper games while staying within the letter of the law of valves distribution platform)

The majority of people are really doing their best for the players: even the people you think are doing stupid things.

I think AAA game development has to end to be honest, the risk is so high that most publishers play it so safe that in the end everything is milquetoast and overpriced
