It's not an apt analogy, unless you think that the production of generative images will be restricted to a few parties (because that is what copyright does, it restricts the right to copy to the originator).

And then if it was restricted to a few parties, they still have to compete with human artists, they can't just charge whatever.

Even Vienna has slum-like areas, every major city does. Not sure how that's a knock against Dubai. I'm not even sure what slums you saw in Dubai, Having lived there for a few years there's definitely low income housing in certain parts but I'd struggle to call them slums.

University research is labor. Researchers get salary or stipend, usually relatively modest on the ridiculous white collar standards. Nobody gets rich from grants. Typical best case scenario for grant researchers is to stay employed. Tenured faculty don't get any money from the grants.

(Very) few do get rich by leeching publicly funded research for spin-off companies. High level admins can get relatively rich from obscene salaries, but they aren't the ones applying for the grants or doing the research.

Probably not altruistic, but not usually primarily for money either. If money is what you want, university is a very bad place for trying to get it. People do do things for other reasons than economic gain regardless of what the prevailing economics dogma and ideology claims.

War time is an especially bad time for art, libraries and archives, either because of the ensuing chaos, destruction and opportunism, or the systematic plundering and destruction of the invaded territory. As an example, take the truly staggering amount of art and cultural artifacts looted or destroyed, often systematically, during WWII by the Nazis and the Soviets. The Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, for example, has a division[0] that specializes in cataloging and attempting to recover such looted art. It is interesting how many suriving works are located in known private or public collections abroad, even periodically showing up at auction. ArtSherlock[1] (in Polish) also has some interesting articles about some of these works. They used to maintain a smartphone app that let you take pictures of artwork to determine whether it is a known missing piece, and then report it, if it is.

The idea of "intellectual property" is anti-productive as well as immoral. Open source software is a very good evidence of the utilitarian benefits of doing away with software patents. And IP is immoral because it's impossible to grant and secure "intellectual property" rights without violating physical property rights. Please read Stephen Kinsella's "Against Intellectual Property" for a good treatment of both the utilitarian and the moral dimensions:

In theory. In practice, published PGP encryption subkeys has only seen adoption in emails.

Besides, is the criticism that people are using published keys for email? It seems people are outraged that they received encrypted data using keys that they themselves advertised. The specific medium for data transfer doesn’t seem to matter here.

> I'm also curious why rendering something in the browser would have poor performance or wouldn't be optimally accessible?

That's really a tough one to answer since every site is different, but here's a few things to keep an eye on when doing CSR.

You don't own the hardware rendering your site. Slow devices will render pages more slowly and there's really nothing you can do about it beyond optimizing the rendering logic itself.

CSR will always add more network requests to the page. For a small site, or a user close to your servers this may not be an issue. Caching on CDNs will help for any static files too.

Any API requests that are required for rendering will likely introduce waterfall network requests. If the APIs live on your servers, that could have been drastically reduced or removed all together if the HTML rendering was handled by server in the first place.

For accessibility, I'm not aware of anything that can't be done accessibly with CSR, but there are things that can get tricky. Every accessibility tool is different. Making sure that content added and removed is updated properly, changes are notified to users when necessary, and that focus is handled properly are all up to you when you decide not to "use the platform" as they say.

Gene Roddenberry's proclivities aside, Star Trek is still a capitalist enterprise (pun intended, come at me petaQs) written and produced by capitalists to entertain a capitalist society. To that end, I would see most of the series' criticisms are from the perspective of liberal progressive, even neoliberal, but not necessarily communist (in the sense of anti-capitalist), ideology. More often than not, Trek's "communism" is undermined and turned into window dressing, because of course it has to play to the God fearing Commie hating mainstream.

Earth didn't reach post scarcity by seizing the means of production through class warfare, but scientific and technological advancement and culture shock from first contact with the Vulcans. The Bell Riots you're talking about in the time travel episodes are probably the strongest explicitly socialist part of recent canon, but within that canon they still didn't result in an anti-capitalist revolution since the themes the writers wanted to touch on were homelessness and sociopolitics from the 1960s and 1970s (Attica, Kent State, etc.) The Federation doesn't require its member worlds to be communist nor does it foment revolution in potential member worlds. As portrayed, most Federation worlds appear capitalist in some form.

People have jobs with clear non-collectivist hierarchies (see Sisko's restaurant.) We're just supposed to accept that this is entirely voluntarist, but the whole issue of how labor in this post-scarcity society actually works is swept under the rug because no one writing the show actually cares. The pacifist Federation flagship whose only purpose is exploration and diplomacy carries enough firepower to glass a planet, and it uses that firepower often. "God" is an alien and a jackass but also somehow working in humanity's benefit, and as often as Trek espouses atheism, it does a wink and a nod to theism. Even the relatively low bar of gender and sexual equality was often undermined by producer Rick Berman's homophobia.

The Ferengi (ignoring the first few appearances) are explicit parodies of American capitalism, but they are also portrayed sympathetically and heroically, and often used to criticize the Federation's own ideals and human nature (see Quark and Garak's famous "root beer" scene in DS9[0].) This is obviously a criticism of American cultural propaganda but is also slyly pro-American imperialism, since of course the (deeply America-coded) Federation will sweep in, guns blazing, kill the (asexual and trans-coded) evildoers and save everyone.

So I have to disagree. If the goal was communist propaganda, they could have done a lot better.

I do the same with all media I access legally, some of which I definitely do not have a license for. At least I've never seen anyone provide me with a license for anything I am reading on this webpage.

It never really made sense to me to view copyright as dictating what you are allowed to do with something. People do try to turn it into that, but it makes far more sense if you view the act of publishing as the step that is protected by copyright.

Laws do differ on this point but if we want to have any hope of owning anything in a digital world we need to push back against the idea that copyright allows someone to dictate the lives of anyone using their intellectual property.
No great surprise, they have form here.

The Saudis announced six megaprojects in 2005. King Abdullah Economic City was the only one that went anywhere. I believe it was supposed to have 2 million people and reached about 7 thousand.

They've kicked people out of the area, killed at least one person, trashed the area with initial construction efforts (I've driven past) and now the inevitable seems to be coming to pass already.

They still have time but they need to do something to diversify from oil in the way Dubai has eventually. Building a new Dubai, with a different legal framework (only rumoured for Neom AFAIK), doesn't seem like the worst idea to me, but starting with an overly ambitious design probably isn't the way to get traction. The Middle East do love a pissing contest though so starting small isn't what they're into.
> The only non-theoretical use of a PGP encryption key [that would use keys published on a keyserver] is email.

I use this on some repos
https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt

And occasionally to encrypt files, or receive encrypted files.

These are practical things which are non-theoretical.

> Using multiple keys don't offer added security or secrecy.

Depends on how careful you are or want to be, with your private key. My house key isn't the same as my car key isn't the same as my bike key.

> This is nothing like data harvesting

Alright fair, bad example. What I was grumbling about was more the lack of any clear communication that you've been auto-opted-in to a feature on protonmail, with no user interface signal indicating so, leading to confusion for a couple months like in TFA. I definitely wasn't casting shade on the opengpg keyserver, nor protonmail. It's the "hey! I didn't check a box for this, and it's not mentioned anywhere in the protonmail docs" hidden functionality which could do with some clarification.

I'm a forgetful creature. If I intentionally put my key on a keyserver, because I'm playing around and learning about PGP, will I make the connection between it and protonmail a few months down the line if I move my email account to them? Unlikely.

It's a nice automated feature. Protonmail-to-protonmail e2e encryption makes a lot of sense. I just think protonmail-to-non-protonmail e2e needs a tooltip in the UI, and the option to opt out, potentially with the ability to opt out for specific email addresses. I wouldn't at all assume it would be on by default even IF I've been actively using PGP in my email clients, because it's something you usually have to manually set up yourself, very explicitly. That, and 99.9% of emails are plaintext.

Anyhoo, one thing I forgot which kind of negates the "what if I have multiple encryption keys tied to my email" is the fact that the opengpg keyserver does tie 1 email address to 1 key so you can't publish multiple encryption keys, fair enough. Git-crypt and file encryption, I set my associated email address to use +tags eg me+git@email.com, so as far as protonmail etc are concerned there's only one key per logical email address.
A lot has been said, but I haven't seen specific mention of the ramped up instrumentation for the capitalized portion of the text.

I wonder if that generally reproduces, and if you can guide it to bounce back and forth between modes with punctuation, either normal or as encoded annotations (invented for the prompt).
> Patents almost never describe processes and technology with sufficient detail to reproduce them (in fact many companies will purposefully not patent those things they consider central to their business, to keep them secret) and are instead written so broad as to just create a moat to prevent any newcomers from entering.

That's pretty false. The requirement for a patent in the US is that it is detailed enough that an expert in the domain can reproduce the invention from the patent. Doing so efficiently and at scale is a different issues. Having dealt with patents personally, lawyers very much stress this point as a requirement for a patent that is not easy to overturn.

You're confusing a patent being broad with it not being detailed. They are both. A patent is a detailed reproducible description that includes a ton of language to also cover other similar things. For example, "in one embodiment of this invention a silver coated aluminum substrate is used for part N." This is very specific in that it says what was used to make the invention (a silver coated aluminum substrate) but also broad enough to cover other substrates (one embodiment).
Wait, what? They'll create artificial solar eclipses?

Show HN: Evaluate LLM-based RAG Applications with automated test set generation
what annoys me to no end with sorbet is that it subtly pushes to worse looking code, even if to ignore all the verbosity and annotations.

let's say there's a generic data transformation in a method which could be extracted to a private helper method. Sorbet didn't have any issue figuring types of the result while those lines were in the parent method. But when those three lines are extracted, sorbet now requires you to write a generic signature for that method, otherwise type checking is not working anymore. Generic signatures are even more verbose and hard to write than for methods with specific types.

So, a kneejerk reaction would be just not extract those, because it becomes too much work, and readability is not improved anymore, because signature for three lines of code is taking five lines. And that's until someone "clever" will add a rule to rubocop limiting all methods to a specific amount of lines indiscriminately, so I'd spend additional work time imagining that person being punched in a face.

In theory something like that could be solved by marking helper methods as inlined, basically promising that you're not going to use them in subclasses or whatever and allowing the same inference to work inside. But "sorbet is feature complete".
It's more soylent green.
