Absolutely not the same thing.

> Brakes do not contact the tire. It reduces brake wear...

When braking you are basically limiting the tyre's rotation leveraging the tyre's stickiness to slow you down, and ultimately wearing it down. This is why where there is no abrasive surface under your car, i.e. snow, stopping down is harder. Or just accelerate to 100Kmh and then stomp on your brakes, then notice how they are all worn out where they contact the ground.
>Hacker News has a page that lets me see all of the replies from comments I've posted. Posting is clearly "activity of an account holder", and that means there is "at least part of the content" being "control[led]" by that activity.

It doesn't say "control" by the activity, it says control by the platform. Control is a little bit difficult to define, but one reasonable necessary condition is that if someone is in control of something, then someone else might do it differently. "Show me threads I've commented on" should produce the same result regardless of platform. "Show me a random page" should at least have the same probability distribution. But "my recommendations" is fully under the platform's control.

I grant that trying to interpret "offer" was a bit of a reach on my part. On the other hand, "control" can be interpreted in a pretty reasonable way to imply some form of meaningful choice.

>You're the one who's criticizing me

I'm not criticizing you, I'm criticizing your argument. It's important to keep a safe emotional distance in this kind of discussion.

>it doesn't matter [...] even what a court will think. What matters is how much it will constrain the government using this law to harass a website. And 1e isn't going to provide a barrier for that.

It certainly does matter what a court will think. Once a couple of precedents are set, it should be possible to identify what legal actions are meritless, and governments bringing frivolous suits may find themselves voted out of office. Unfairly targeted websites can bring a claim of malicious prosecution.

Now, if you don't trust the voters and the courts, that's a different issue, but it's going to affect every law, good or bad. That's just how government works.

>That the majority of the text of the definition is a list of exceptions doesn't make it a narrow definition; indeed, it just highlights that the original definition sans exceptions is overly broad.

If we assume that ad targeting and algorithmic content recommendation are profitable, the original definition clearly constrains the ability of sites to make money while offering user accounts for minors. Lobbyists probably don't want profits constrained for their employers, even if the targeting aspects aren't necessary.

But just because it targets features that can be added to every website, it isn't reasonable to say that it targets every website. Most of the Internet functions just fine without needing to create accounts, and when accounts are necessary, they're for buying stuff.
The testing itself is an issue as well. Most people think that you put a blood sample in a machine and it spits out "yes you have cancer" or "no you don't", but in reality in the earliest stages it's more akin to reading tea leaves. The chances of false positives are high, and can be equally or more harmful to the patient than false negatives.

This is also why doctors are increasingly recommending that young, healthy people not get routine annual checkups and blood work done unless they have any specific problems.
Possible Cases of Transmitted Alzheimer's
I don't see where you disagree. Indeed, any kind of deceleration exerts wear on the tyres. It doesn't matter if the deceleration is because of an electric motor or an ICE, the wear is the same for the same deceleration.
Don't called your project *Zilla. The copyright owners of Godzilla are known to go after everyone who tries to use the "Zilla" suffix. Mozilla learned its lesson long ago and had to negotiate a special agreement.

Absolutely not the same.
When it was founded 50 Yeats ago _maybe_ it made sense because technology was not that advanced.

Now I'd say it's a company selling stolen goods.

Airlines know who is the owner of that luggage. They have the sticker with flight, booking number, they have the contact details of the owner, and most owners put a tag with their contact info on the luggage.

They were hired to provide the sole service of transporting the luggage and owner from A to B. It's their only job. And they fail and steal your belongings and sell it for a profit, to a fence
The one and only time I traded on PredictIt, around the beginning of the pandemic, I made an easy couple hundred bucks on this market: https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/4683

The majority of traders seemingly looked at the headline and failed to understand the contract terms, which only required a "quarterly annualized" GDP growth of 5%, during at least one quarter of 2020. So a severe economic downturn in Q2, followed by even a modest recovery in Q3, would have made a "yes" outcome all but guaranteed.

The comments became pretty hilarious once someone pointed this out.
Yeah but in the west it is based on claim seniority rather than like, hose foreign creditors first.
Chromebooks receive 8 years of updates, 10 years for models released after 2021.
TensorFlow is also perfectly legal to develop and distribute, and no one contests this.

People object to specific artifact, "model weights", which were produced using copyrighted works at the input, and can be used to reproduce those same copyrighted works back. In bittorrent analogy, people want to shut down specific pirate trackers and the pirate bay website.
I think it is closer to the conventional view of current as the travel of electrons down a wire.

Current moves far faster than electrons. it is more similar to a wave in the ocean with the electrons being the water molecule.

As a result, and counterintuitively for most, the speed of electrons will give you a completely wrong answer for when a light will turn on after you flip a switch.
I hope they are recruiting software engineers! Then maybe they will get someone who can fix their purchase history search. I'm talking about the search near the top of this page when you are logged in: https://www.walmart.com/orders

A long time ago that partly broke. It stopped showing purchases made in-person. It would still show items purchased online for home delivery. I think it also showed items purchased online for parking lot pick up, but don't remember for sure.

I think it might now be completely broken, because I can't get it to show me purchases even when I search for something I'm pretty sure I had delivered.

I've reported this via their feedback page several times and they have not done anything. It's quite annoying.

I don't know if is broken for everyone or if for some reason something is fucked up with my account. I know it is not something to do with my computer because it fails the same way in the Walmart app on my phone and tablet. On the other hand surely if it was broken for everyone someone in whatever department maintains it would have noticed...surely some of them actually shop at Walmart and occasionally want to look up a past purchase.

I don't see any additional information, only your opinion on the subject.
It would be neat if some authority like the passport office or social security office also provided a virtual ID that includes the features OP described and allowed specific individual attributes to be shared or not shared, revoked any time, much like when you authenticate a 3rd party app to gmail or etc.
Um, wow, I had no idea. I've got some other pretty good domain names at the ready, so, maybe I need to pull the trigger on that.
Your blind faith in "just because a product is available means it is safe" makes me wonder if you're familiar with the concept of a recall. Across all industries, companies have done something to the point that it is in the public's interest to remove that item from the market. There are so so many e.coli cases, listeria cases haunting the ice cream maker of my childhood to the point i never buy their brand now, and so many other food products that have been recalled for various reasons. I kind of wished I lived in your world that exists in your mind.
Watch was the same way. They weren't generally available so any third party that wanted to make an app either had to have an in with Apple to get access to even a simulator under heavy NDA or just wait until the thing hit the streets. I think you'll see the same thing here. Of course in this case with the price point being where it is it will probably take a bit to explore the possibility space and get some killer apps that propel the platform.

I am not convinced that changing USA copyright law will do anything for NYT or protect any other content creators.

Once your content is online, it's subject to copy, piracy and manipulation of many forms, because it's on the WORLD WIDE WEB.

A US law can't enforce the world's network of computers and what they do with it's data.

Go ahead and sue OpenAI, I hope they lose.

I'm rooting for Open Source LLMs, that's where the real innovation is at, without censorship or copyright restrictions.
WONTFIX, working as designed. I'm 80% certain they want to trick users into using Edge while thinking it's Chrome. Windows is a dark-pattern cesspit.
after decades of programming, lisp has always been that thing that intrigues me endlessly, but I haven't had a chance to actually wield it myself. but so many people whose opinions I respect love lisps, and not just for a little while. Clojure especially. Other ideas like datomic and xtdb are also high on my list of things I need to experience. I think im going to have to make an intentional effort to find a lisp job next time.

I hope not. I'd like to see people start building sustainable businesses intended to last and stop the whole cycle of accumulating users and hoping to get acquired before the funding runs out.

I think the ecosystem is healthier for Figma and Adobe remaining separate.
Teachers have ALWAYS made those screams. My mother, a french teacher always complained that before she could teach kids french, she had to teach them how to read a clock, how to do math, and how the days of the week work (these were fifth graders mind you). She blamed education policy, but this is nothing more than what happens when 30% of your students are in poverty.

The reality is that some percentage of students will always fall through the cracks, and the human brain loves to blame whatever is "new" for problems that are "new" to you. This has been a problem for teachers since at least the No Child Left Behind policy, and even goes as far back as Socrates bemoaning his students being terrible because books meant they didn't have to have perfect memories.

Students suffered because covid was both a huge disruption to their education, and parents freaked out instead of trying to handle it (and plenty of people literally could not handle it anyway). It doesn't help that half the country openly cries that education is nothing more than liberal indoctrination, and openly downplay the value of even basic education, like the three Rs, and claims that anything higher than a high school education is also liberal indoctrination, is "woke", and is valueless.

I 100% hate tiktok, but I don't think it is (currently) being used to mentally attack the US. Maybe someday if we are ever at war with China, but right now they are content believing that inclusivity is toxic on it's own. I don't think tiktok changes people's brain significantly. I do think it is extremely low value way to spend time, and that it is addictive, two serious issues when taken together, but then again I spent my life watching several hours of TV a day. I especially don't like how tiktok seems to purposely direct new male users to what is basically softcore porn.
Considering how old they age as the technology advances, yes.

Nothing stops you from riding one until the wheels fall off though, just like any other bike made with any other material.
An interesting thought experiment to me is how much I would be willing to spend to preserve a friendship. Various situations over the past few years, including some businesses with friends made me think about hypotheticals.
They sued Apple because it infringed on their patent by implementing their specific method for pulse oximeter. Garmin however, developed their own and didn't take it from Masimo.
> IIRC large portions of China's high speed rail might be a boondoggle... so not sure that's the best example.

I think you need to revisit China's high speed rail. There was indeed a fair share of fraud and dubious construction options, but the end result was still the largest and most extensive high speed rail network in the world, and developed in record time.

They have working world-class infrastructure, which in case of railway also has a big impact in national cohesion and nation-building.

In the meantime, the US barely has conventional railway.
Google glass was the most anemic product i've even experienced.
The pessimism isn't really backed by data. Most economic metrics show that it is a great economy. Wages are rising. Consumer spending is surging. Property values are holding. Inflation is dropping. Unemployment is low. GDP is growing. Home ownership is high.
Apple still plans to launch its headset and a bunch of other software and hardware. It’s car work, though, (and whatever it actually is) is allegedly delayed yet again.

Google is laying off a lot of people who aren’t working on “AI” or ads.

Amazon is laying off all sorts of AWS people which surely is reducing some decisions.

But no, stuff still seems to be happening.
Even worse, it’s AI-generated crypto scam bullshit.

I can’t imagine what Matthias is going through right now. Hopefully this is reversed cleanly without losing history on the channel.
You want to write documentation of something with significant legal repercussions using a probabilistic analyzer?

Your Honor, my client could not have committed tax evasion because these were the most likely numbers based on millions of tax reports analyzed.

That chart for pay levels at different military ranks is not a good reference. It's only showing "basic pay." I recommend instead playing with this: https://militarypay.defense.gov/calculators/rmc-calculator/

You also have to understand how career progression works. Like it's nonsense to look at the basic pay for an O-5 with less than two years of service, even though there's a number on the chart for that. Outside of exceptionally rare circumstances, an O-5 will have at least 15 years of service.
Haralabob Voulgaris is a pretty well known NBA (basketball) gambler. He has talked about how his biggest lifetime score ever was betting Biden after it was clear Biden was going to win but before the race was called.

He talked about it on Bill Simmons Podcast and was just incredulous at how people could be that stupid and how much money had made betting on something that was a stone cold lock.
Further evidence for this is that Apple ported their widgets, like stocks and weather, to native apps instead of using the web-based ones from OSX.

I urge you to go back and look at how Kolmogorov complexity is defined. It includes the notion that a program needs to decide whether to output the string directly or to generate it from some program.

You're assuming Alice and Bob have already pre-synchronized what kind of computing machine is going to be used, one in which pi is the output of a relatively short program, as opposed to another type of machine where some other random-looking number has that property (random to you, pseudo-randomly generated via some machinery for all you know). You are assuming many things away.

Also it is absolutely not trivial to extend Kolmogorov complexity to infinite strings. There are multiple formulations and they are a lot more difficult than for finite strings. Not the computation part but the complexity assignment part.
I would make a read-only archive first, using `wget --mirror`.

This will fix relative paths, download assets, etc and can be published as-is on a new site. I'm ignoring copyright questions in the interest of archiving fragile data.

Then I'd use an HTML parser against the local archive to extract the individual posts, if the additional work was justified.
> It's losing billions of dollars.

The US's roadway network is also a money pit. What's your point?
I think part of the philosophy is the idea that „personal ownership“ will conceal structural (maintenance) problems.

It’s similar to lowering inventory. Sure you can run into problems with smaller buffers, but at least you see the problems and have a chance to act accordingly.

It's tough because the ability to copy an LLM is feasible, and an LLM is much more likely to be able to reproduce the underlying work with high fidelity, but there's no law that says that someone with a photographic memory can't look at your site data.
These sorts of cars ware great but are really the needles in the haystack, and you need to have a pretty good idea what to look for, find them before someone else and live somewhere where rust/road salt hasn't killed them which is not typical for most poor people and teenagers. Possible but not typical I think.

For example there's one Craigslist 190D on the east coast at $6800, I would guess a increasing amount of sorted cars wind up on BAT or similar.
This is a sore spot.

On PSVR1, Sony's "Media Player" app's only VR option was to display 360 degree mono videos with head-looking. There was no option for stereoscopic playback. YouTube did add a PSVR capable player, but streamed the videos at a very low res. A 3rd party player, Littlstar was capable for playing various 3D video formats (full 360 degree, VR180, and 3D bluray style 3D video), but demanded a subscription, even for local files... It also only worked on one or two codecs with very specific encoding options... and the decoding was poorly optimized, so large videos (only a subset of which is visible at a time, so you need a high-res video), didn't really work. Not ideal.

PSVR1 could support 3D blu rays.

On PSVR2, Sony still has no built in VR video playing app at all. Littlstar has rebranded as Rad, and has been struggling to get playback working. They also plan to make their subscription based on payments via some proprietary blockchain crap.

PS5/PSVR2 Sony dropped 3D BluRay support. It's not clear if it will ever return.
Retail is always a flat pyramid. GMs get paid. The guy who ran the CompUSA that I worked in in college cleared $250k in the mid 90s.

Even a CVS will pay the GM well if they hit targets. And if they miss the targets, they get purged and there's a thousand people to replace them.
there's absolutely no way to calculate that, there are simply too many variables to say anything other than probably greater than 0 but less than 1
GDPR is great and all, but it only takes one rogue employee. I speak as someone who had their data sold by a rogue Aviva employee to scammers all over the world. Which made my life hell for several years.
That's not community, though. You're not inhabiting the same space, share the same problems and try to work them out them together. You're not helping each other out if someone falls into trouble.
The Freakinomics book has a great chapter on how the police discovered accounting books of a NYC drug cartel, and its pay scale from the street watcher to the top lord was the same as at… McDonnalds (just the ratio, not the amounts).

20 years later, I reckon there was a lot of storytelling here advantaging the arguments of the right-wing, but I’d still be curious what are the true figures.
> Driving is by definition a privilege. You're maneuvering a 2-ton murder machine.

I think this point needs sharpening a bit by making the implicit explicit: "Driving" per se isn't the issue, it's where one does it and who else they may endanger when doing it badly or recklessly. People can maneuver 2-ton murder machines alone on their personal closed track as much as they want.
Is talking to other people online really so bad that we need the government to step in and tell us who we can and can't talk to? How quickly will that power expand to what we can and can't talk about?

I agree that neither solution is perfect, but exchanging an imperfect but undoubtedly free system of communication for one that is explicitly state-controlled censorship is an obvious step backwards.

"Thinking about the children" should also involve thinking about what kind of a society you want to build for them. A cage is not the answer, especially not with fascism creeping back into our politics.

Because music has a lot of additional law written giving additional protections to song-writers independent of performers and recordings. That gives the abstract tonal sequence it's own copyright.
If you can answer this question for Youtube and TikTok, you have already answered it for porn tube sites as well. Other categories would probably be erotic themed chat apps, social networks and of course games. And the reasons are just as valid or invalid as for the respective non-porn equivalents.

As far as I'm concerned, almost all apps could be websites.
What a weird thing to read into my comment. No, I do not think that. Skills didn't even come up. And this isn't the only employer that exists, nor is there a fixed supply of job money in the world.

Also, paying half as many people twice the wage is in aggregate roughly the same as cutting typical work hours to 20 per week while maintaining the same pay per week. Where's the downside for the employees?

And in particular for the SNAP aspect, the whole point of this discussion is that the current wages were not getting those people out of the SNAP income range, so the taxpayer cost is the same even if Walmart fires all of them and replaces them with nothing.
Usually, you pay what they ask and, if you don't like the price, you don't use their work. It's very simple, but OpenAI skipping that step opens them up to courts deciding that price, if a price is actually owed. That price would probably be more than 0, which is what the authors have gotten so far.
