Excellent answer.

Following up on the parent, for those who don't already know, EE = ExpertsExchange, an older question-answer website that got strong Google SEO for the questions but eventually hid the actual answers behind a paywall. If you wanted to see the answer, you had to pay. StackOverflow was, at least partially, a reaction to that in the beginning.

There was initially some confusion about the license behind the answers, and they went through some license-spinning (https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing).

Now, most things at StackOverflow (and the other StackExchange websites) are under CC BY-SA 3.0 or 4.0. Important to point out that there is no ban on training in any of those licenses, probably because they were written before that was even a thing. However, regardless (and the obligatory IANAL), that attribution clause should certainly be included, if it was directly derivative of the code on SO. (How to track thousands of attributions across a large codebase is another question.)

Whether closing down the API is abiding by the spirit of the license is an open question, but it certainly seems to be allowed by the letter of the license.

My personal feeling is that this is rowing upstream, and that the large and incredibly-well-funded companies like OpenAI, Claude, Google, and Meta have already scraped all of that historical data, so this really only hurts the new startups that are poorly funded. However, I'm sure that making this deal with Google et al will be a good thing for Stack Exchange as a whole and perhaps the funding will breathe new life into Stack Overflow (et al).
without any experience in emulation or software preservation i still really enjoyed the post.

Online I saw a guy with a power washer cleaning hate-speech graffiti for free (e.g. swastikas in the US). I don't think he does it for fame or clicks but even if it's a net positive.
Did they improve individual productivity or did they provide much more complexity by shifting the abstraction level? The more I code, the more I see we’re still solving the same core problem, sometimes with artificial constraints introduced by the choice of a platform.

The web was seen as a hub of information, but now people has been trying to make it a computing hub, ignoring the already available computing platform we already have (the devices in front of us).
This makes me complain to the local county and tell them they should allocate more of my tax money to maintaining public spaces.

> Police say they take bike theft seriously, though manpower to tackle it is a challenge.

> “Unfortunately in big cities and small towns across the country we’re facing staff retention issues,” says Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations. “So it tends to get pushed to the back of the line.”

On the one hand - there are lots of under-resourced police departments around. (And Bill Johnson is stuck being the front man a huge variety of local situations here.)

On the other hand - where is the motive for the police taking bike theft seriously? One basic rule of democracy is that if failing to do X is painless to both the politicians and the government workers, then you really shouldn't expect much in the way of X.
I thought they weren’t opening it up until 2026? Anything published now worth reading is open access, or can easily be retrieved by googling from somewhere else, so that isn’t much of a concern.

> but in the future, we'd likely entertain requests to reassign ownership of scopes for the benefit of the broader user community (as in the case of a brand owner requesting ownership of their brand name).

So you're basically committing to repeating the Kik drama? For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kik_Messenger#Open-source_modu...

It would be great to find a way of structuring these registries/repositories in a way so there wouldn't be any name collisions, and also avoid the built-in support for companies to take names away from individuals.
How Bad Can It Get for Hollywood?
It’s just the reductive pedantry that’s so popular on the internet. A CIA operative is the agent of a foreign government, therefore a foreign agent.

A Doctors Without Borders medic is an agent of a foreign organization, therefore a foreign agent.

Therefore CIA and DWB are essentially the same thing. Bonus points if you can find one case where a DWB volunteer also had ties to the CIA, which would totally expose the two orgs as being exactly the same in all ways at all times.

For some reason people just can’t resist reductionism.
An executive order can't address the things you are worried about. It was crafted to leverage lawful executive power...obviously.

> after one or two slip ups that someone else is having to clean up for them, and feel bad enough to avoid doing it in the future.

I've lived long enough to know that this won't happen in my lifetime, it requires an entirely different societal mindset... something closer to shame/collectivism a country like Japan has (they still have litterers of course, but a much smaller number)

Chronic litterbugs don't care, they're often low enough on the hierarchy of needs that this kind of morality isn't on their radar at all.

If everyone pitched in, you might pick up a single piece of trash occasionally... so you'd avoid the "I just cleaned up this whole park yesterday" problem, because in theory you'd have a larger number or people doing a little work rather than a smaller number doing most of it.

I regularly pick up trash in my neighborhood, so I get it though... it's impossible for one person to keep up with.
-Wall and -Werror should be running on all developer machines and your CI machines.

If you are delivering source code to someone else (or getting source code from someone else that you build but do not otherwise work on then you should ensure warnings are disabled for those builds. However all developers and your CI system still needs to run with all warnings possible.

The days when compilers put in warnings that were of questionable value are mostly gone. Today if you see a warning from your compiler it is almost always right.
And that's just off to the side, it'll accumulate and / or spread from there.

When I visited the US and its highways, I was surprised to see how much things like exploded truck tires were littering the sides of the road.

When does America classify itself as a country of concern? I'd personally much rather have my data exfiltrated to China where it can't be used against me as easily.

Exactly. The compiler and what ever dependencies you need _to build_ are bundled into a docker so that you don't need to worry about whatever random tools/libraries your coworkers have installed in their local environment.

> I am sorry but I won't continue this conversation. I lack the energy today to deconstruct the fucking argument that "poor are poor and it's on them and if only they wouldn't buy an iphone they would have it easier".

You seem to have continued the discussion (alone) to points that were way far from the initial conversation. It seems like you want to prove that the reality you see is the only truth in the world?

You seems to enjoy the monologue type of discussion with so many edits. No, you didn't come too harsh, you came too confused. There are many poor people out there that for lack of more information they have no idea how to do their budget and succumb (as easily as rich people) to carnal desires. Don't hate on people that think like that, if you wanna help them, do something to teach people how to budget.

> There's a lot to be said about the context. For instance, squatters, hoboes, etc. are poor and spend money on booze/drugs and food if there's money left but that's all they have

Alright. Why are we discussing by the way? Ah, you are discussing alone. You should check your mental health, john.

It isn’t that Chinese spying is somehow less virtuous than American spying, it’s more why take the chance? The only reason China ever bothered with Cisco or Nortell at all was to copy their tech, but China wouldn’t let an overseas tech come in today to drive their cellphone network today. They would think that’s just stupid. But when America does the same they cry bloody murder.

Without taking into account whether JPEG XL shines on its own or not (which it may or may not), JPEG XL completely rocks for sure because it does this:

.. $ ls -l a.jpg && shasum a.jpg
... 615504 ... a.jpg
716744d950ecf9e5757c565041143775a810e10f a.jpg

.. $ cjxl a.jpg a.jxl
Read JPEG image with 615504 bytes.
Compressed to 537339 bytes including container

.. $ ls -l a.jxl
... 537339 ... a.jxl

But, wait for it:

.. $ djxl a.jxl b.jpg
Read 537339 compressed bytes.
Reconstructed to JPEG.

.. $ ls -l b.jpg && shasum b.jpg
... 615504 ... b.jpg
716744d950ecf9e5757c565041143775a810e10f b.jpg

Do you realize how many billions of JPEG files there are out there which people want to keep? If you recompress your old JPEG files using a lossy format, you lower its quality.

But with JPEG XL, you can save 15% to 30% and still, if you want, get your original JPG 100% identical, bit for bit.

That's wonderful.

P.S: I'm sadly on Debian stable (12 / Bookworm) which is on ImageMagick 6.9 and my Emacs uses (AFAIK) ImageMagick to display pictures. And JPEG XL support was only added in ImageMagick 7. I haven't looked more into that yet.

This was what the Internet made beautiful for a time, international access to hyper-specific deep sites on highly specific topics.

Instead we get 9000 identical sites regurgitating the same identical garbage; I want sites where I can enjoy people going into way too much detail about something they feel strongly about, like why steam engines were going to lose to diesel no matter what, because diesel can get traction going up an incline that a steam engine simply cannot do (and that detailed page is lost to me, I can't find it).

It's just how subreddits devolve to meme-reposting unless actively and strongly countered; forums were a bit better at that but you had to have active moderation.
This just shows how great of an acquisition GitHub was for Microsoft. Having access to all that code is a real differentiator for training.

I've heard that code helps models more generally, with reasoning and language, because it's clearly structured and things like conditionals and control flow apply to logic questions and making deductions and inferences in just plain conversation. It seems plausible to me, but I haven't seen anything formal about the idea.

Is it even AI scale if not performed on the GPU?
There has been plenty of ink spilled about the struggles of "talking to customers" and doing scaled product validation - but not much to be done to make it easier and more accessible for the masses. That's what we're trying to accomplish with Emet Insights, a company dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and product teams validate their ideas with real people, at scale.

In the spirit of "doing things that don't scale," today we launched emetinsights.com with just a few products and the ability to pre-purchase credits for market research surveys as a way to show the world that making market research accessible to early-stage companies and product teams is a problem worth fixing. Your support on Product Hunt would go a long way to bringing about a reality where we can offer accessible market research to the masses without sacrificing quality.

The Kasim Reed years produced a few federal prosecutions [e.g. 0], but generally it's been pretty quiet?

And it's not like the US Attorney isn't looking. So either Atlanta politicians are better at hiding their crimes, or they aren't committing them at the average rate [1].

Subjectively, I'd say that Atlanta has a fair amount of low-level corruption (see the Park amounts), but generally avoids the major-level corruption that other cities get caught in.

I wish you luck, I can definitely appreciate the difficulty in trying to achieving some degree of excel feature parity

I had come across this copy to more than one cell issue when I was curious to see the performance myself in making some random numbers and doing some look-ups based on those results which I couldn't do en masse due to this limitation

a few other things to think about implementing

(1) some more formatting/font/point size options

(2) customizable number formatting like excel

(3) functions like hlookup, edate, perhaps even array function like functionality (i.e., a relatively powerful and open ended underused feature in excel due to a combination of difficulty in understanding as well as being very slow calculation-wise)

(4) some minimal vector drawing abilities

(5) it doesn't bother me and it's part of your marketing but starting with "0" may confuse some people (and would break excel compatibility) since excel doesn't do that (though I appreciate indices/etc. do that in "real" programming)

(6) filtering data doesn't include a "contain" or "does not contain" option

(7) perhaps some limited ability to customize the interface and have user defined keyboard shortcuts triggering formatting/etc. type macros/python

(8) some sort of print/formatting to yield output to pdf
Who cares? Talking about specific corporations/companies is just derailing the discussion. An effective, enforceable deterrent against countries from committing genocide should apply to all countries, and an effective, enforceable deterrent against companies murdering people should apply to all companies.

It seems like you're trying to make the argument that some companies don't need a rule against murder because they wouldn't commit murder, but that's absurd. It isn't unfair to have a rule against murder apply to a company that wouldn't commit murder. That's just how rules work, and if you have to pretend you don't understand that, I start to think you're just grasping at straws to try to justify being against a rule against murder for companies.

If you're generally against economic regulation for companies, you might correctly point out that companies committing murder is a pretty extreme example, and most regulations aren't against such extremes. But that's missing the point. The situation is that extreme; people within corporations are committing murders and the corporations are receiving, at best, slap on the wrist fines or civil settlements that only affect shareholders and rarely affect the decision-makers who committed murder. No matter how anti-regulation you are, surely we can agree that "we can't have a rule against murder" is too little regulation?
What tends to irritate me, is that sometimes people will make a reddit post where they took a photo of trash to post "what's wrong with people"... and they just walked away from it.

If you can stop for a moment to take a picture, you could pick a piece of it up too... but there's also the "ah I don't have time to do it all so I won't do anything"
Symmetry exists abstractly, apart from time.

There are many machine learning problems which should have symmetries: a picture of a cow rotated 135 degrees is still a picture of a cow, the meaning of spoken words shouldn't change with the audio level, etc. If they were doing machine learning on tracks from the LHC the system ought to take account of relativistic momentum and energy.

Can a model learn a symmetry? Or should a symmetry just be built into the model from the beginning?
The old documentation often wasn't good.

But if you're trying to replace an existing system, it's a mistake to think "the old system had poor documentation so it's OK for the new system's documentation to be poor too", because people have already learned to cope with the old system.

I've seen people make that mistake distressingly often in recent years.

"I'm now wondering if in something like Sora that can do a kind of physical modeling, if there's some conserved quantity in the neural network that is _directly analogous_ to conserved quantities in physics"

My first thought on reading that was that if there was it would be interesting to see if there was some way it tied into the concept of us living in a simulation, i.e. we're all living in a complex ML network simulation.

I assume those ideas were formulated around 2000ish, when humanity's smartest computers were at best as smart as nematodes and incapable of using language convincingly. Now that humanity's smartest computers are as smart as an ant colony, it turns out that with enough data they can use human language convincingly, which is very interesting but nevertheless a serious challenge to existing ideas around copyright. It's not enough to completely pull up the drawbridge so that humans can't freely access the data. But it's reasonable for a community-driven org like SO to be concerned about fundamentally dumb robots like GPT-4 threatening their survival and their mission.

Let me add that Google and OpenAI are fully aware that their tech is useless in the medium-term without technically-skilled humans contributing actual human thoughts to places like Stack Overflow.
I used similar streaming HTML for my RSS reader. When you import subscriptions it can take a while as each feed is fetched so I use streaming HTML to show the progress of each feed as it is imported. This provides meaningful progress updates to the user.

However previously the limitation was that the content needed to be more or less in order (you could use some CSS tricks but they were limited). Using this trick I would be able to render the full list of pending feeds then insert a result as each finishes being fetched.

In fact it seems that for each slot the last element will be used. So you can even create live-updating pages based on this which is really cool. For example imaging you had a score ticker. You could push an update to that region of the page every time the score changes.

I think this is definitely a niche use case, but it is very nice to support this without JS. Of course in all but the simplest use cases JS may still be the right solution. For example if the connection drops for any reason there is no mechanism for showing the user an error, let alone retrying.
I am not a user of Deno, but I acknowledged that HTTPS module imports were one of the original selling points of Deno compared to Node/NPM. Was it revised at some point that a package repository is needed? What's the back story?
