The list is made of up names tuned for publicity. If they didn't include prominent names Arstechnica probably wouldn't write it up and we probably wouldn't discuss it.

From the Artists Rights Alliance web site [1]:

> We are an alliance of working musicians, performers, and songwriters fighting for a healthy creative economy and fair treatment for all creators in the digital world.

It sounds like a great many of the people you're describing who aren't seeking millions are members of this alliance.

Personally I don't want to live in a world where the only way to produce art is in your spare time, around some other full-time job. I think there's a middle ground where artists are able to earn a living without becoming millionaires. Capitalist society has never come up with a great answer for that but I think this alliance is right to be worried that AI might further deteriorate the possibility.

> In the letter, the artists say that unchecked AI will set in motion a race to the bottom that will degrade the value of their work and prevent them from being fairly compensated

Who defines what “fairly compensated” means? It seems the music industry is constantly complaining about not getting paid enough (Napster, satellite radio, streaming, master rights, and now AI).
Sounds to me like you're not commenting in good faith. Begone, nerd.
When do you think the first GPT-3 level model was trained post the release of GPT-3 ?
It's hard to do art when you don't have a roof over your head. It takes a long time to master an art. Time that could be used at work instead.

If doing art is no longer a viable career path then only the children of the rich will be able to pursue it.

Exactly, I'd love to have 1TB of RAM that can be accessed at 6000 MT/s.
These are extremely good tips. The value of the address of the entity may be marginal (a lot of times, the address listed on the formation paperwork is the address of a registered agent services company, which may handle thousands and thousands of unrelated companies) but searching other databases for the name of the entity (paying close attention to spelling and abbreviation - though often, this gets flubbed in other filings) or the person who formed it can turn up some interesting connections.
Extracting these resources means destroying the ecosystems that live on top of them.

So, yes, they are better left to their own devices.
It's 4/4/4/6 syllables and ABAB rhyming. The second verse, first line, is 4 syllables if you pronounce "given" more as "g'ven", smashing the g into the v.
The topic may be relevant, but I'm doubtful we can have a calm and reasonable discussion of the technical issues and morality with a hot war ongoing and many hostages still in captivity. There are more than enough hotheads on both sides to poison any discussion, and I don't think @dang can fix that.
Why not just treat it as a way for undesirable guests to reveal themselves? Sounds like HN never wanted these guests and doesn't have the administrative attention to be watching all the time.

For the kind of programs I write for AVR-8 it seems insane to use the calling conventions of C, so if I write assembly I can sometimes keep the inner loop variables in registers (big register file) and otherwise use the methods he describes. I like “coloring” functions in an app like that, if I know a red and a green function will never be active at once I can reuse locals/parameters for them.
gotos are fine if used judiciously. strcpy and strcat are “fine” in that they work when you know your code is correct and you have big problems if you don’t. But this describes most of C, unfortunately.
Well if it isn't profitable it isn't desirable by society enough?

A lot of these artists don't actually know how to play instruments, get their beats and tunes from others, and also use auto-tuning for their vocals.

From the perspective of people who actually learn musical theory, compose music, perform music, and learn to sing, technology has already long ago replaced the artists.
IMO there are credible arguments for and against AI generated content. But these label backed brands have no real grounds to complain about selling out art. They are big businesses incumbents that have commoditized art and are now worried that they might have some competition.

I’m sympathetic to the hand-crafted buggy-whip manufacturers that really take pride in their work, but we’re talking about buggy whip assembly line #1000 worrying that they might have to retool for steering wheels.
That seems about right, most of my neighbors use their pickup to drive to Costco and little else.

It's an ego/narcissist thing mostly about being seen driving a bit vroom vroom.
Mobile networks in general also produce a lot of latency and often warrants a local first caching system on the client. If you want a LiveView like user experience but resilience to flaky network conditions, we just added Svelte 5 bindings to Triplit[1] which let's you write queries client-side and have them sync with a server over web-sockets. Probably not attractive to Elixir devs but if Svelte is your central focus, Triplit is a good option.

“Usable” is not just towing and hauling ratings. It’s also “Can I grab my fucking groceries out of the bed without climbing up a ladder or crawling into the bed?” I drove trucks for >10 years. I know the tradeoffs (and I mentioned towing capacity already!). I like pickup trucks! I’m a truck guy!

“Objectively more usable” based on “payload/HP/torque” is missing a LOT of usability metrics and is not purely objective at all - the vast majority truck owners would get more utility from better ergonomics even if improving that cost up to 20% of their “payload/HP/torque”.

What you mean is “objectively more powerful”, not “objectively more usable”. Is a semi truck or Caterpillar 797F “objectively more usable” than an F-150 because they have “more payload, HP, torque”? Of course a semi truck is not objectively more usable than an F-150 - only objectively more powerful.

Many people need yesterday’s half-ton. Many people would benefit from lower ride height, not having to use a ladder to reach into the bed or climb into the seats. Being able to see children in front of the vehicle. But it’s not available.
Don't forget about the people who were already here, too
Rights to virtual live shows are major stakes here.

Fans creating their own songs should just whet appetite to see live shows, which is where the money is shifting anyway. But live productions creating exciting virtual performances without input or permission from the artist threatens the live show revenue.

One potential threat from fan-generated music we haven't dealt with yet is a popular fake diverging too much from what the actual artist does. If the artist won't accommodate this, it would create an opportunity for a similar artist to perform the music. It'd be like when an artist's popular song is one they hate, and they have to decide whether to give people what they want.
This kind of stuff is what makes it safe for me to use LSD recreationally, alone, in my own home- it's nontoxic and I do it on my own time, and I don't glorify its use to others. There should be no reason to send me away for 6 months over this. Yet because all schedule-1 drugs are treated the same, the penalty for LSD possession is the same as the penalty for meth or cocaine possession. I don't get it.

(Maybe the moral of the story should be that LSD shouldn't be schedule-1.)
I wonder if the WCK assassinations were related to this.

The bigger issue is if I run my machine learning bot on your piano albums, and then reuse that music.

It's technically not yours anymore, and I can license the music out to whoever I want.

I think a good middle ground would be to immediately put all AI generated art in the public domain. I'd love to be able to just ask Chat GPT 5 to recreate The Chronic in French or Straight out of Compton in Japanese.

But the issue is I shouldn't be able to sell that content as if it's a result of my work.
first AI came for the artists, and I said nothing, for I had no talent. take that, artists!
If true, it's impressively foolish.

Still, pre-BUSL Terraform is an achievable goal.
Ask HN: Why indiehackers build more SaaS boilerplates than actual SaaS?
i see a lot of indiehackers building saas boilerplates and generate a lot of money by selling hopes to other makers that they can make money, why they don't build real saas with their boilerplates ?
Many many chess blunders are as simple as “I moved a piece where it can be immediately taken”.
There are two kinds of engineers in the mechanical and electrical departments. One says "If we just run wires / automate / motorize it will be easier", and they see the direct path from start to finish that matches the requirements.

Then there are those who say "every wire complicates compliance testing, every automation complicates failure modes, every custom part complicates supply chain", and they are the ones that prefer in-house mechanical parts with conservative materials and tooling.

I think it's an age thing, maybe it's a hipster vs greasy-elbows-shop-floor guy thing, but honestly it can be hard to tell who's right.
All the decriminalize crap is pushed by rich liberal types. They live in luxury apartments or out in the burbs. Worst thing they have to dodge is their fav brunch place being full.

Ask any poor or working class person. They don’t want this crap. Drugs ravage their communities. They have to deal with these problems.

Same thing with the defund the police and other non sense.

I grew up in shit areas and went to college in an inner city. Some of my friends, college staff, and my own experiences (been robbed a dozen times) all lived thru this shit. We need police and we need to stop criminals from selling drugs and put career junkies away (they don’t want to get clean, ok go away then)

Meanwhile mfs wearing Arcteryx want to lecture people wearing 2nd hand Starter they should just be cool with junkies and destruction.
Speaking of strlcpy, Linus has some colorful opinions on it:

> Note that we have so few 'strlcpy()' calls that we really should remove that horrid horrid interface. It's a buggy piece of sh*t. 'strlcpy()' is fundamentally unsafe BY DESIGN if you don't trust the source string - which is one of the alleged reasons to use it. --Linus

Maybe strscpy is finally the one true fixed design to fix them all. Personally I think the whole exercise is one of unbeliavable stupidity when the real solution is obvious: using proper string buffer types with length and capacity for any sort of string manipulation.
Alcohol has bars to go to? Bars have bartenders to cut you off?

Drug use doesn't provide a social place. Also, certain drugs are an order of magnitude way worse than having a moderate amount of alcohol. Legalizing public drug use, outside of marijuana, seems idiotic to me.

HN, both its community and the moderators, flag posts that generate a lot of conflict in the comments. The comments on this are especially bad by HN standards and therefore the flagging is inline with how the site is openly operated.

I am pro Palestine and not simping for Israel. I think visibility on Israel's actions matter, but HN is also very clearly not the appropriate website for a lot of politically involved news.

I’ve had no access to classified anything ever and could have told you the US navy has remarkably good maps of several key parts of the ocean in which friendly or enemy boomer subs are likely to operate.

The problem is not using drugs. The problem is committing crimes while using drugs. Some people can use drugs and avoid crime. Others use drugs and commit crime.

You forgot those who commit crimes in an effort to use drugs. I think treatment inside jail (or some controlled environment) is probably your best bet. If you have someone who's addiction is clouding their judgement, they might say anything just to stay out of jail, but how do you get them to follow through?

How do I learn to hurt people in such a peculiar way for them to write essays of this kind?
The article title seems to claim otherwise.
It's hard to take that position seriously. The people using the loopholes are the ones that pushed to put them in the law and degraded enforcement budgets. One hand washes the other and it takes place in the dark. Let's put a little sunshine on it and see what happens. We might find some very interesting networks exist...
The problem with strlcpy is the return value. You can be burned badly if you are using it to for example pull out a fixed chunk of string from a 10TB memory mapped file, especially if you're pulling out all of the 32 byte chunks from that huge file and you just wanted a function to stick the trailing 0 on the string and handle short reads gracefully.

It's even worse if you are using it because you don't fully trust the input string to be null terminated. Maybe you have reasons to be believe that it will be at least as long as you need, but can't trust that it is a real string. As a function that was theoretically written as "fix" for strncpy it is worse in some fundamental ways. At least strncpy is easy enough to make safe by always over-allocating your buffer by 1 byte and stuffing a 0 in the last byte.
It's kind of funny that the attacker used a sockpuppet named "Dennis Ens."

This could be "Denizens":

- an inhabitant or occupant of a particular place.

- a person admitted to residence in a foreign country
especially : an alien admitted to rights of citizenship

Good way to describe Jia Tan (singular or plural) and their sockpuppets.
You can hide ownership in real estate using land trusts in states that support them. You can fund an LLC with a vehicle to hide ownership of the vehicle by VIN or plate search. In both cases, startup costs are a few hundred dollars, and ~$100-200/year upkeep per asset.

Trusts in general are simply good estate planning compared to probate costs, at least on the topic of real estate holdings and titling.
I disagree categorically with this.

In baseball, the team that commits the most unforced errors tends to lose the game, but the team that scores the most runs always wins.

Usain Bolt doesn't have 8 gold medals and 3 world records because he has perfect form (I just learned that he has scoliosis, leading to "imperfect" form, whether that made him faster or slower than he would otherwise be is apparently a subject of some debate), but because he's fast. It is frequently the case that the best at something defines "perfect" form. And anyway, Bolt doesn't run marathons, because he cannot sustain that kind of performance for 2 hours.

I hear what you're saying, I can't count the number of times I've seen truly bonkers tricks in freestyle skiing and snowboard competitions, from people who screwed up their 2nd or 3rd run, or couldn't stitch together a coherent run around that one trick, and so came in near the middle of the rankings. But the winners were not significantly less impressive, just blunder-free. A lot of time, the winners were the peak performers moment-to-moment but sustained that performance for much longer.
I guess I dont understand what the actual problem was. People were doing drugs on public street corners? this is my question. It's not hard for people to drink alcohol in places other than street corners, even on days that the bars are all closed.

Either Stallman-esque principles will need to be implored for products in commerce with very heavy profit-killing taxes on non-compliance, or we'll need to start requiring PEs and liability bonds/insurance, etc.

Downvote me all you want, but take your pick: Either be Stallman-esque in openness of design and intent (but not distribution) at risk of heavy end-product sales tax, or your product must be signed off by a software PE in order for you to legally charge money in any way for it or its use (or even pester for donations). Trust me, fall on the Stallman sword, it's smaller.

Then buy a Civic. I have a 2023. It has a touchscreen. Which is entirely devoted to "non core functionality" such as bluetooth calling (which also has steering wheel controls), Android Auto/Apple Carplay, radio etc. The only "core" functionality is that it displays backup camera video when reversing.

All the standard buttons and controls are there. The button to push the trunk, the child lock enable/disable, the mirror adjusts, the (electric) parking brake, you name it. Nothing that was a physical control on my previous cars has been touchscreened. The car even has a completely separate menu system, with a completely separate gauge-cluster LCD, for the "core" stuff. Not touch screen. Steering wheel buttons. That menu system isn't the greatest, but you also don't need it day to day.
Hello,
Interested in this opportunity!
is there a minimum experience requirement for the role?
That's basically how it is today. Making money off of art seems to be primarily driven by networking. So the rich are already more likely to break out in the business since they have connections. I don't think I know any middle or lower class parents encouraging thier kids to pursue music or art as a career.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I'll try to make it justice.

Let me start at the end.

> I won't deny your feelings, but would ask you to consider specifically when you've felt your opinions and well-being do not matter

First of all, every time I hear the word "mansplaining" -- and while the author of the linked article didn't use it verbatim, she was effectively complaining about it with more words. "Mansplaining" reads as the most superficial dismissal of somebody's opinion, as it instantly disregards a person's whole argument based on a birth trait. It's not any more noble or justified than brushing aside somebody's opinion as being done by a "hysterical woman", a term that is thankfully relegated to the past.

But it goes well beyond that, so let me illustrate with a couple of examples. A few weeks ago there was an event where an attorney would share some insights into the local cycling laws and what to do in the event of a crash. I wanted to attend, but was denied because the event was part of a women's cycling month initiative. It was a webinar, for goodness' sake.

Another example: people online have criticized me for attending a Japanese festival with my family. Apparently being a white father of two Japanese children is some sort of a sin and my presence in the festival is some form of "cultural appropriation". I jokingly asked what percentage of Japanese ancestry is required to attend, and whether or not my hypothetical 25% Japanese grandchildren would be allowed to attend or not. It goes without saying, the people criticizing this family event were... drum-roll please... not Japanese.

I need to run to take care of my kids now, but let me make a quick observation: I have felt far more social discrimination for being male than I have ever received for being queer, disabled, or an immigrant. And it's not just that being male means you are explicitly forbidden from some groups/activities, it's also that the same people that act deeply indignant at other forms of racism and sexism quickly turn into gatekeepers that openly and proudly discriminate against men.
That's not ASCII, but it does look like a nice improvement.

I actually like the use of the warning sign emoji too.
Oh you're right. I misread the part about a tube in the throat and thought they were ending up in the neck.

Tell me, what's the value `counter` returned by this "pure" function invocation?

const [counter, tick] = useReducer(st => st + 1, 0)

Answer: It depends. Sometimes 0, sometimes more.

Any function that can return different results for the same inputs is impure. Therefore, `useReducer` is impure. It can return different results for the same input. React may have some alternate definition for "function" or "pure", but these words existed prior to react.
Is it criminalization that is better for non-users or did they just do decriminalization incorrectly? Did they need to decriminalize drugs in all cases? Couldn’t it be legal to do heroin in private but not on the sidewalk?

I am afraid they badly implemented a policy that, if implemented correctly, could have made a big difference, and now everyone will think it just doesn’t work.
