Its strange to me you have a list full of "no one thought" statements that were all things that most of the people around me at least seemed like things Apple would do. Especially the movies and TV stuff, they already had a big marketplace for movies and hardware for watching movies and TV, other competitors in those spaces were producing original content, it seemed absolutely logical for them to do so as well.

The launch of the iPhone was rumored for a long while and seemed obvious to me and a lot of other people who paid attention to the smartphone space that they'd release something. More and more phones were being sold with music capabilities and were starting to get popular. If Apple didn't release the iPhone within a few years, competitors selling better all-in-one kind of devices (like the modern smartphone today) would have been there. Its just flash memory at the time was still rather expensive for a lot of songs, and even the first generation or two of iPhones had pretty weak storage compared to a regular full-fat iPod.
I have to admit. I am using it a lot. And my 8 and 4 year old sons as well. We do have a switch with some games. But the pc with the Yuzu emulator can play many games in 4k 60hz. Only possible since the nvidia 40 series. The games load faster and its easier to install cheats. Its time for Nintendo to release a new switch. One that can only be emulated once the 6080ti is out.
If we don't like companies abusing their power, we can complain and decide not to buy the products of companies doing that sort of thing, and support their competitors. There's only so far courts takes you, for a consumer company the real trial is most definitely in the public court of opinion.
> The archive link isn't working for me ...

For me, that link bounces to the archive.md version of it (same url, but archive.md domain), which is resolving to 139.99.171.251.

You can probably get it to work by adding an override in your /etc/hosts (or equivalent) file, and using the archive.md version of the url.

In theory. ;)
Shells on Linux/Unix everything can be accessed as a file. Everything. In PowerShell it is a object, or maybe a file, or maybe a handle, or a resource, or a string. A complete catastrophe is Az PowerShell. Why isn't everything a object?

The answer is the origins of how Windows handles everything. It diverged every time a new hire took over a subsystem. "Not invented by me" ran strong in those days.

Excellent point! I’m not against non-car transportation at all, and generally am of the belief that if a policy decision is bad for cars it’s probably good for everyone. But in my city, at least, the other pieces of transportation are an afterthought and it can be really dangerous.

You could try to draw a parallel, but it would fail.

The most technically rigorous difference is that a protest and counter-protest are aimed at the same audience, whereas a DDoS is aimed at the first "speaker".

Less rigorously but more practically, a "message" intended to cause technical malfunction is not "speech" and we all know it. It's even less "speech" than an extortion threat, which is already not protected. The "parallel" would be feeding the Westboro Baptists cognitohazards and crying "free speech" when they go insane and you get prosecuted.

> Britain as the world's top superpower of the era was destroyed by having to come to the aid of Belgium in August 1914. Unintended consequences are a bitch.

Interesting viewpoint. So if Britain wouldn't have to come to the aid of Belgium in August 1914 it would still be the world's top superpower... Interesting.
Contrary view, they shouldn't make breaking changes to a library. Stability is a nice thing.

If there are truly better ways of doing things /that matter/ in some space, find a way to incorporate them. Easy parallels to screw driving options. I'd be surprised to not see a flat head on outlet covers in any house. I'd be surprised to see traditional drives (philips, flat, or the one that looks like philips...) on most anything made by a crew nowadays. There are objectively better drivers, but it would be obnoxious to constantly have a different driver for every item in your house.
> AI can ONLY produce low-quality content.

Stopped reading after this. This is like saying Photoshop can only produce low-quality content.
Wow, skimping on 150 people for the biggest change to the tech industry in since the invention of the computer.

You understand Apple spent like billions for this electric car industry that never produced anything? Why would they want to starve the AI project now?

You understand how many people in Microsoft and Google are working on AI adjacent projects? Even if they aren't AI researchers, there's tons of work just to put the models in useful applications.

> The current iteration of YUZU-EMU.ORG does not feature a live link to Lockpick—which had been hosted on GitHub—because recent enforcement action by Nintendo alerting GitHub to the illegal nature of the software caused GitHub to takedown and delist Lockpick. However, since that time, in Yuzu’s Discord server and elsewhere, Defendant’s agents have been referring users to a different website (RENA21.GITHUB.IO/YUZU-WIKI/) which does feature a live link to Lockpick.

Note that I am explicitly not weighing in on legality or anything, merely pointing out your wording is at odds with the document/allegations themselves.

Making money is not a factor for fair use, but one factor is whether it’s a for-profit endeavor; you can be making money to fund an operation without doing so for profit. And even then, courts haven’t been too concerned with that aspect when other aspects are clearly met.
I quite disagree. Started to learn extremely young (3 years old) and I guess my relationship with the instrument became second nature.

I feel there is a kind of threshold that you cross at some point and then, the skill becomes part of you, forever engraved. You know you're there when you can play the piano without a piano, just in your head and in the tingle of your muscles. When you do not need a rational stage like a score or even a piece to play. You just play what you feel.

I don't play that often now, maybe 30 mins to an hour once every two or three days.
My technique is not as good as it used to be. But my understanding of music, harmony and emotion is deeper. My music is better now than when I was at my peak as a technician, because as a human being, I matured.

Same. Journaling adds another dimension to my memories that makes them even richer and more enjoyable. It also prevents me from forgetting memories, which I'm very prone to doing!

I started journaling back in 2012 (or 1999 depending on whether you count a Pokemon notebook that I barely wrote in!). I used to handwrite my journal entries. I refused to type them because they didn't feel personal enough.

How foolish of me that was.

I discovered Daylio while looking for a mood journal back in 2021. It's easily one of the best apps I've ever purchased. I've journaled daily since getting it, and it (with therapy) helped me understand and better control my introversion and mood swings.

I eventually moved all of those entries over to Day One two months ago. Day One is even better. You can add recordings! From your Apple Watch! And everything syncs nicely via iCloud! No more talking into the ether!
The other way is Alice choosing a different avenue where Caren isn't, and Bob goes where Alice is.

Filtering content is a needed, but ultimately losing proposition (time and resource is one thing, accuracy is another).

Having the source choose which megaphone they'll use and have communities surrounding those probably works better for everyone. It's only an issue when Caren's goal is to have Alice silenced in the first place.
The key is that you pay for the bandwidth, sampling, cardinality, and schema considerations somewhere in the system. Depending on the problem, you may be able to get away with dealing with those issues later vs. earlier, but at some point you start dealing with required fields, aggregation, etc.

I own a system in one of the tech giants where sampling is counterproductive to our problem domain, and where in the pipeline we deal with each of those issues is our bread and butter problem that can sometimes swing costs by $millions.

Hey there, we wrote an in-depth post on the BSL license and why we switched to it: https://datacebo.com/blog/sdv-bsl-license/

BSL is an _eventual_ open source license. 4 years after every version release, that code now transitions to being MIT licensed. SDV's roots are in academic science (MIT), so we wanted to make sure researchers could still use the toolkit for their work.

I agree with your broader point, but it’s worth noting that insurance middlemen exist in many European countries with universal health insurance, so surely some form of this can exist in a more regulated health insurance/provider market.
Wide events are fine until someone puts personally identifiable information (PII) in them. Then you're in a bit of a mess as you've presumably taken PII out of an environment with one set of access controls, and into a separate, different environment, with access controls that are for a different purpose than required by the data.

Thanks for that! And good question. Vanta offers a compliance checklist and integrates with your service providers (such as AWS, Github, etc.) to continuously monitor your system settings and flag potential vulnerabilities.

We provide a similar compliance checklist to Vanta, as well as HIPAA-compliant infrastructure and technical configurations. We’ll set up your application on compliant infrastructure deployed in your cloud, integrate CI/CD pipelines, and provide real-time logging/monitoring. Providing the technical piece that's compliant out of the box lets you save weeks of manual work configuring it yourself and having Vanta's API integration/AWS audit manager check it.

We use terraform to automate the infrastructure deployment process in a modular fashion. When you deploy with us, we take a dockerfile and basic information about your infrastructure setup, such as your availability region, RDS configs, instance sizes, etc. to deploy your application. This lets us support a variety of use cases and needs.

Analogies are like bugs in software. They exist.
True. I guess the thing that I normally want from metrics is I want to have a huge number of them that exist in a way that I can look at them when I want. But I don't want to have to pay for collecting and aggregating them all the time. So in the scenario where they are just events then I need some other control system that can trigger the collection of events that aren't normally emitted
Java had some magic classloader ideas back in the day. OSGi, I think it was? I don't remember them using the term shading, but I also don't remember ever liking how that went. Usually very confusing for all involved. (Unless you were on the happy path, I think.)
Not effectively
Hey, let's be fair; those copyright infringement laws also only protect corporations!
Nintendo could do the exact same thing if they made their platforms open like Steam does. That the switch is limited to only Switch games is entirely a choice they made because their whole existence they've been all about proprietary and locked down.
... for some classes of office workers. But during any significant period of economic contraction, 20% of those workers will lose their jobs and the remainder will be back to 5 days a week. Employers that can do more with less will, rather than do the same with less.
There's a concept of "contributory" infringement: while you're not personally infringing the copyright, you know about the infringement and you're helping it, encouraging it, and so on. This is what the studios sued Sony under for the Betamax. Of course, they lost, and that precedent is helpful for Yuzu, though not a total slam dunk: what they wrote on their website in terms of marketing and instructions and so on could matter here, what the devs wrote to each other or publicly that might reveal their knowledge and encouragement of infringement could matter, etc.

More significant is that the Betamax case is from the 80s and precedes the DMCA. The DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions are broad and have been interpreted broadly. The result is that the decryption is a problem all on its own, regardless of things like fair use that were a major factor in Sony's victory.

It's worth noting that Nintendo's first three claims are DMCA section 1201 anti-circumvention claims, with the other claims of personal infringement by the developers and contributory infringement (where the part you quoted is from) being kind of tacked on at the end.
I feel like you’re undermining your own argument here. Yes, it’s exceedingly complex to “legally” play your own games on Yuzu. This bolsters the argument that Yuzu is primarily targeting users of pirated content, because essentially no one would bother doing all those steps you listed.

I run mixtral on my own hardware so I know pretty well what’s the output of the LLM. I’m not sure why you felt compelled to add that jab in there either way.

Your argument seems to be that cognition is required to do this perfectly even though things with cognition frequently get this wrong and the bar of the conversation was whether it could be done at all. So I think it seems to be a pretty bad argument.
Maybe the effect is they’ll now happen on private islands and use the ban as the excuse why
This iteration of AI is already heavily associated with memes and headlines about its mistakes and hallucinations.

> Most Americans experience first hand how horrible health care here is

I mean, no, most Americans are just upset about cost-sharing, most providers in the United States are pretty good and have pretty good facilities and equipments.

You can have systems that are mostly privatized (cough, France) that are better regulated than the United States, but that'd mean doctors would get paid less money & upper class folks would likely get worse care
Crucial advances to consumer adoption of tech have had porn leasing the way. Certainly advances have been leveraged by the porn market quickly. This one should be interesting.
This was an interesting discussion when I read about it long ago.

I don't think it's obvious that Marilyn's interpretation is the correct one. Two possible interpretations could be equally valid.

In law we have the "rule of the last antecedent" that says descriptive clauses modify the nearest antecedent noun.

Under this interpretation "which has a goat" modifies the exemplary door "say #3". Same as saying host opens a door, for example door #3 containing a goat. It could have been say door #2 containing a car.

Marilyn's interpretation is that "which has a goat" modifies "host opens another door." Same as saying the door opened by the host always has a goat.

Language is inherently ambiguous. I don't think either interpretation is unreasonable...
Porn exists in literally every medium human beings have ever used. Sculpture, paintings, photography, phone calls, audio clips, drawings, animations, text, video games, 8mm film, digital video.

If there exists a way to transmit information from one human to another, it has been used for porn.

AI can replace porn stars in exactly the same way that drawn or animated porn does.

A modular and safe way to achieve this is probably effect handlers. It's like python's yield but can return a value and is scoped like an exception, it's not local to a function call. If you're unfamiliar with it, this article is a good motivation.

Each function, written in direct style, can perform an "effect" when the function wants control to go somewhere else (for c=getchar() and emit(c) here).

Control then goes to the effect handler, in this case probably the caller of the two functions, which decides what to do next: decompressor emits a char? Let's resume the parser's code with the char until it asks for more, then resume decompressor again, etc.

Effects can be efficiently implemented, especially if the continuation is only allowed to be called once (which is the case in OCaml), and allow writing code in direct style, together with type/memory safety. They are also very helpful in a concurrent setting.

An example here : https://effekt-lang.org/docs/casestudies/lexer

We could have a threshold at which the nature of the network changes: if a network get more than half of the voting population it gets bound to the same rules as public carriers.

Why do you need an LLC to run an emulator project?
I’ve been getting exposure to this space and the backend systems that drive it. It is mind-bogglingly dysfunctional.

Aphyr recently provided a limited window[1] into the level of dysfunction that happens with one of these behemoths that are the result of 100+ mergers, acquisitions, spinoffs, and joint ventures.

I feel terrible for the providers who have to try to navigate these antics.

In my opinion, all of this contributes to two primary “bad” things: 1) increased rates of retirement from older physicians who don’t want to deal with this anymore (despite wanting to continue practicing for 5-10 more years), and 2) consolidation of physician practices into larger entities as a way of coping which inevitably leads to the entity being acquired by a hospital and absorbed into another behemoth of an organization.

Both make it hard for individuals to receive consistent, quality care.
