The failure of the courts to update first sale doctrine to the digital age is the root cause of many ills.

Unfortunately, it's a tricky question, because it's more akin to compelling speech when the content is served by another party at a future time.

If I get a device that uses cloud functionality... is whoever I sell that device to entitled to that functionality?
Wow, that was fast. Just recently I got the "hey you have a shitton of karma - do you want to be in the IPO" notification. Before I even dug in, it's public…
It discusses from-scratch implementation of many kind of software. This is the book: https://keyvan.me/tsp

I like nostarch a lot! Discussed the book with them as well, but no luck.

Revenues are small I know, I'm just challenging myself to become a published author for now.
Looks neat, but probably only for internal MSFT usage.

For what it's worth... Microsoft was quoted in the Redis press release as a cloud provider that has partnered officially with Redis under this new licensing scheme.

SaurikIT, LLC vs. Apple, Inc: Petition for rehearing of appeal has been denied
I didn’t say that was the stupidest comment I could think of. It was just something that stood out to me recently. Tech literacy among Reddit users used to be pretty decent. Now it’s pretty much the opposite.
People think iMessage has entrenched iOS but what's actually happened is that iMessage has entrenched the POTS phone number system, which is (frankly) unregulated shit.

You can actually iMessage people with just an email address, but in practice I don't think anyone actually does that since you can't also call them by that identifier (but now you can use any number of services to call digitally while skipping POTS phone numbers entirely)
Didn't know I can do both! May give it a shot
The sarcasm isn't really necessary. I think most of us would prefer to live in a world where the capitalist mentality didn't trump all other considerations. It's actually possible for a company like Apple to be laser-focused on privacy and giving their users the best possible options, and still make a more-than-healthy profit margin.

Hell, with Apple's cash hoard, they could afford to give iPhones away for at least a couple years without much trouble. I'm not saying companies should be obligated to do crazy things like this once they have "enough" money, but I think it illustrates that there's no inherent reason why many companies need to take any particular action that increases revenue, regardless of the consequences.

Apple's long-standing culture of secrecy and exclusivity is the problem, really.
ehhhh kind of, what's a browser without a rendering engine? just a fancy bookmark manager?
Reddit is the forum to end all forums, with a spice of imageboards.

And it is ad-supported. People who have partaken in small PHPbb style forums probably can
tell the story - moderation and bandwidth cost time.

That's all, a simple, dumb business model based on advertising and market share, or better: mind share.

The last part is Reddit's moat, no more, no less.

My 2 cents.
I don't see how any of the things you describe is necessarily a bad thing for users.

And if other large tech companies (as if Apple wasn't one of the biggest monopolies itself) have to be broken down, so be it. I too consider companies like Google way too big.

But as a user, and a small developer, I have more pressing issues with the iOS ecosystem than "what ifs" about Google.
They lost all their users that provided value for reddit as a platform. Reddit will surely continue to flourish as a way to show ads to children and astroturf Google search results for product reviews. But I've noticed a ginormous drop in posting quality since they neutered their API. Even small subreddits that were fairly active are now filled with spam and engagement farming, moderators aren't interested in cleaning anything up because their app to do so is trash, users don't want to post because the subreddit is shit up with garbage. It's gotten bad.
There is a long history of using PureData, Csound or relevant languages for designing sounds or composition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUSIC-N

Later SuperCollider and TidalCycles led the way in live coding. For me, I just wanted a tool that could write code, compose music or design sounds directly in the browser, play with friends and have sample-level control. From the perspective of sample level control, it seems to be two extremes compared with the black box of AI.
What's interesting to me is how quickly AI generated art came to be expected, unexceptional. Every random blog post has a couple AI generated images now, they are completely unremarkable and uninteresting. The novelty wore off basically instantaneously. They're just the new corporate art style.
Your daily reminder that Apple has a walled garden to protect you.... from giving anyone else a 30% cut of every payment you make.

App that claims to be a trading business? Sure, greenlit no problems here. App that is obviously a scam version of lastpass? Hell yeah, get on the app store, you pass muster.

A trivial update to an open source app that doesn't even have any form of payment and requires nearly no permissions because it's not sending your data to fifteen different data brokers?

Hey, hold on there, that sounds sketchy so you will be denied
How would you feel if the first example in, say, a ruby tutorial, was how to redefine the ‘+’ operator to use a different symbol?

It’s somewhere between pointless and confusing to me, and isn’t illustrative of why one would want to use components, or what a competent even is.
at this point you're just ignoring facts. u can look it up or not
Enforcing a single browser engine is in no way a requirement for PWAs, no.

Windows, macOS and Android all support PWAs while also allowing them to be run by different browser engines.
Asking out of lack of experience with R: how does such invocation handle case when `x` is defined with a different value at call site?

In pseudocode:

f =
let x = 1 in # inner vars for f go here
arg -> arg + 1 # function logic goes here

# example one: no external value
f (x+1) # produces 3 (arg := (x+1) = 2; return arg +1)

# example two: x is defined in the outer scope
let x = 4 in
f (x+2) # produces 5 (arg := 4; return arg + 1)? Or 3 if inner x wins as in example one?

Thanks for your feedback. We have tested Ragas on alternatives like Claude, Mixtral, Gemini, etc.

Although we support all LLMs supported by Langchain, sadly many of the OSS models out of the box aren't capable of generating JSON-type output which is important for us to ensure reproducibility.
I saw a stat that if you look at Forbes' "... Under 30" list, collectively, they have been accused/charged/convicted of stealing/scamming more money than their companies have generated revenue.

And then I saw a tweet a while back, that I admittedly can no longer find, that if you were to filter for "Stanford" in that list, the ratio blows out to nearly 3:1 (ill-gotten gains:revenue).
> it still creates a situation where a long-standing project creates stable returns for a company while decoupling the service it provides from both market forces and public accountability.

But that's just a mechanism for the corruption. The contract for the design of something and its manufacture and maintenance should each be separate bids. Even each stage of the design should be a separate contract that could go to someone else. The government says "we need a design for a ship" and they put it out to firms who submit their proposals and then the government picks one and buys it outright. Then they say "we need a design for a propulsion system for this ship" and take bids again. If you need to modify the ship's design some to facilitate it, that's fine, because none have been built yet and the necessary change gets incorporated into the design before you put out contracts to build any of it.

What you want is for each of the contracts to be as small as practicable, to maximize the number of potential bidders. None of this "single contract to design and build an entire fleet of ships and maintain them for 30 years" nonsense.
Make politicians wear a registered symbol of each of their donors, on all official occasions. Scale them to the size of the politician's campaign funding and report the details online.

Or just go full NASCAR with well recognized logos, ad agencies, and endorsement deals.
That's the biggest thing, allowing sideloading is 100% optional and lets people stay in the walled garden if they want. Apple not allowing it is absolutely about suppressing competition, which given their >50% market share is a blatant abuse of their monopoly.
I think publishers do a much better job marketing the book for you, plus I don't have enough money for self-publishing ;(
I'm reading that post, and while fascinating, I don't understand the entropy calculation.

The digit chance is easy:

For a single digit to appear one needs 1/3 * 1/10 = 1/30.

For a single letter to appear one needs 1/3 * 1/26 = 1/78.

But the bits of entropy throw me off. 26 + 26 + 10 = 62, which is 2^5.954. But that is for a uniform distribution. The writer states that it actually is 2^5.826, or 1/~56.7. I don't get how they to that number.
Thanks for your reply, Mark!

The challenge for me is that the parts I'd like to use are not in the Flux library (or I can't find them). If I understand correctly, I would need to add them manually. To make sure I can use your simulator to check if all parts would work together, I would have to write some code, which is, sadly, way above my skill level. (I am fine with writing code, I just don't know enough about this domain.) I do like the Copilot feature, but, based on your video, it seems that I would need to add some properties that I don't much about. Just to be clear, Flux looks great, but it is perhaps for more advanced folks than me.

Regarding my specific project, I would like to use:

1. Adafruit QT Py ESP32 Pico - WiFi Dev Board with STEMMA QT - 8MB Flash 2MB PSRAM (ESP32-PICO-V3-02): https://www.adafruit.com/product/5395

2. BTF-LIGHTING WS2812B IC RGB 5050SMD Pure Gold Individual Addressable LED Strip (one or two strips): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CDTECSG

I also figured out that I should probably use:

3. Adafruit NeoDriver - I2C to NeoPixel Driver Board - Stemma QT: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5766

I haven't found these components in Flux.
Thanks!

There's a dropdown where you can choose a stack for screenshots (Tailwind, React, Vue, etc.). I haven't updated the prompts for the video feature just yet. You can tweak the prompt yourself here: https://github.com/abi/screenshot-to-code/blob/6069c2a118592...

The quality of the output code is solid, I think. You can see the code for the examples: https://codepen.io/abi/pen/ExJPdop and https://codepen.io/abi/pen/jORWeYB

I think the biggest thing LLM code is typically missing is better abstractions/componentization. You could probably prompt around some of that.

Then wouldn’t the same argument apply to the Apple App Store?
I have the impression the motivation to join, and remain, at NASA (or ESA) goes beyond salary. That said, SpaceX is actually doing a lot of things that ARE what motivates people that's not compensation-related.
Sorry to ask this here, it's bit off topic, but I'm looking for AI that can accept a chord progression that I write and make a track from it that someone can sign over. I'm a songwriter, but not that great a guitarist. It would be great if I could use the phenomenal AI we're seeing to make the instrumental track for new songs.
I worked as a contractor for a company offering a mobile payment solution in central europe. They were able to negotiate, with some weighty backing, an app entitlement that prevents Apple Pay from popping up when the phone is held close to an NFC-enabled payment terminal while the app is open.
Just saying that there are ways, but they‘re not open to everyone.
How would multiplayer work with the turn-based aspect? Do you have to wait for other players to take their turns? This would be terribly boring IMO. Do you instead allow anyone to take a turn whenever? That turns the game into an RTS. I've thought about this a lot and I don't really think it's possible.
Congratulations on the launch of Ragas! This looks like an incredibly valuable tool for the LLM community. As the library continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how it adapts to handle the growing diversity of LLM architectures and use cases.
After truecrypt 7.1a (I think), the canary vanished. After that, didn’t it become veracrypt? Did they ever add a canary or has there been research in showing it’s not backdoored?

My account on Reddit, and so as I am the founder also the sub r/AmazonRedshift, on 2023-09-30 looked to have been banned by an automated system.

The sub appeared to be working normally, I posted about the Amazon Redshift Serverless PDF, and then Reddit began behaving oddly.

After some investigation, and some guesswork, I concluded my account had been silently shadow-banned, and the sub banned (and then shortly after, deleted).

(Shadow-banning means when you log in as yourself, you see all your posts, and you see them in the threads where they were made. If you view Reddit when logged out, you then see all your posts have been deleted.)

Two years of posts and the sub disappeared, instantly, abruptly, without warning, reason, appeal process or notification, and Reddit is trying to lead me into thinking my account is still active. Make of that what you will.

Having had that experience, I concluded Reddit is not a safe place to invest time in.
Isn't the video issue an MMS problem, not an Apple problem? What do you want them to do, reduce the quality for everyone so at least everyone suffers the same?

>And you reply "new phone who dis" and they apologize and chat about unrelated things for weeks becoming your friend.

Or maybe, just maybe, you should rethink how much you actually KNOW someone who you've merely been texting with for a few weeks.

I wouldn't trust my closest friend giving me advice about making money, because his advice was an MLM. I sure as fuck am not taking financial advice from someone I have never met face to face. Even if they are legitimately letting me in on a way to make free money, it's probably unethical at best.
You realize that 1-3kg of "you" is already bacteria, right?
The rename to mise broke my workflow for a bit and the library is changing fast & adding new features frequently. That's good, but I hope it can stabilize a bit, so things don't get deprecated again. Still love it.
The app is free! The only thing that has a cost associated is a pickup, which is $4.

Good callout though, will add that to the site
the clear implication that Reddit just keeps getting more and more awesome.

It's an obvious abuse of their monopoly to suppress competition. Most kids use iPhone and for the general public in the US iPhone has >50% market share, so to expect most people to stop using iMessage to get better support with Android users is not happening, and it's silly to think that will change without a change in laws, so most kids end up getting iPhones so they're not left out.

Remember, this is all a very arbitrary restriction by Apple that lets them take advantage of their monopoly to suppress sales of competitive products. That's the illegal part.
Doctors (and society) should not be encouraging this mentality.

But individuals surely have the freedom to think like this and make decisions accordingly.
I feel like it’s probably not a leap to go from this to having a PDF renderer as a backend. The trickiness is in the layout, which this is already doing. Looks to be a lower level api and a way to render to absolutely positioned html. That gets you most of the way there.

I think for most devs, software licenses are not a core competency. Most devs interact with licensing only occasionally, if that, and they may not have a good grasp of the licenses they work under (or if they do, they may forget parts of their understanding later).

Yes it is, it just isn’t as big of a target for bad actors because it’s a much less personal device with way fewer users.
This is so detatched from reality it borders on lying. People went to Reddit over Slashdot not because news there was "faster" (it never, ever was) but because Reddit had and has porn. Slashdot never did.

In fact, the biggest innovation of Reddit vs Digg and Slashdot before it, isn't mentioned here at all; you could create and moderate your own communities on Reddit. I guess that is hard to square with Reddit seizing control of so many communities in recent years.

This also completely ignores the fake traffic and posts that the Reddit founders admitted to in the early days and certainly seems to be going on still today. Most subreddits seem to be a shadow of there former selves and feel like ghost towns. The front page and /r/all clearly have the books cooked on what appears there. Brand friendly posts jump up with barely any votes. One or two posts from popular subreddits almost seem to be chosen daily to appear there.
> The Beeper folks have shown this of course can be done (even if Apple doesn't like it and blocks them).

They hacked together a solution that “quite easily” exposed your private comms to them..

> It's quite telling that Apple still wants to maintain iMessage as iOS-only.

Also iMessage also works on macs and ipads, Apple Watches, and maybe Vision Pro (haven’t looked)

> And if Apple doesn't work with Google to implement the E2EE extension (assuming Google is reasonable about it), that tells us all we need to know

Apple is implementing the Universal profile. Instead of forcing companies to rely on google, GSMA can improve that profile.

What are your thoughts on PhotoPrism?
I'm using it for a 10.000+ multisite installation (quite simple personal blogs), and even though it has it quirks it works quite well. Almost nothing is best in class and a slight pain to get it working, but the sheer size of the ecosystem is still it's biggest plus. In general every problem or feature you can imagine already exists or is easy to bolt on.
Yes, but a market where it takes a month longer vs. a year longer probably implies different behaviors.

Personally I know it since I've been volunteering there since 1999 and know how elections work and know most of the membership. But that probably doesn't help much if you don't know me.

Practically, I know it because the ASF is a Membership organization, meaning there are hundreds of individual Members who have been elected by their peers inside the ASF. The Membership is the group who elects the board. The ASF has only individuals as Members (never corporations), and quite a lot of folks have made their careers about their ASF project work, while hopping between multiple jobs at various vendors.

So to mount an attack like that, you'd need to "evil-ise" a over a hundred Members to get them to vote for your hand-picked candidates who would be shunned by basically everyone else involved in the ASF.

https://apache.org/foundation/governance/members.html

Vendor neutrality and our permissive license are baked very, very deeply into everything the ASF does.

A fair number of 501(c)(3) foundations are similarly membership corporations, where the board is elected from the set of people who've been volunteering there for years, so they are unlikely to change direction like that. Some (c)(3)s are not, but still have a good track history. (c)(6) organizations are a mixed bag, since some explicitly allow sponsors to pay for board seats - a very different world.

Over the years I've come to agree with this POV, and distilled it down to this:

If your goal is profit, don't open source your core product.

We've seen this time and time again where a company releases their core software under a permissive license, and then bigger competitors come along and resell a solution redistributing their software.

If the company's central goal is profit, this is an existential threat. However if your company goal is to ensure the software exists (as a non-profit steward), this is a resounding success!

This doesn't apply to software that's secondary to your core product, e.g. a useful tool you've developed but don't make money directly selling to others.
