The simple explanation is that largely only white artists played on radio stations. Popular songs would be sanitized for white radio by recording what we would now consider as covers. However, it was also rather commonplace for a whole slew of artists to record a popular song at nearly the same time. The proliferation of covers wasn't so overtly motivated by bigotry since an original recording wasn't regarded with the same esteem as today.
I've never gotten the explicit argument. Java checked exceptions are also part of the function signature/interface and nothing prevents one from making a language where all exceptions are checked then just doing

try {
maybeError := FunctionThrowingValueError()
} catch (ValueError e) {
// do stuff
}

I get at the end of the day it's all semantics, but personally I kinda like the error-specific syntax. If you want to do the normal return path, that's fine, but I prefer the semantics of Rust's Result type (EITHER a result OR an error may be set).

To each their own, it's not something I really worry about.
One thing that confuses me about all this is that ByteDance has significant US ownership. Is this just a way for Jeff Yass-led hedge funds to get a cheap price on the rest of ByteDance?

So... yeah a patent restricts what others can produce. But parents are supposed to be for things that are novel, which means if it's unlikely for someone else to produce it to begin with. Parents are supposed to help encourage people to innovate. I do think to many patents are given and many aren't novel enough. But I do believe, at least historically, they led to innovations.
I also don't think software works be patentable
If they are more than just a line on the road and are actually safe to use, they are probably not as empty as they seem. Because bikes take up much less space and don't tend to bunch up as much like cars, it can seem like there must be a lot less bikes than there actually are. 30 cars over the course of 5 minutes are very noticeable and seem like high traffic. 10 bikes over 5 minutes seem like almost nobody, but the bike lane would then be moving a third as much people as all the car lanes combined.

It should be possible to come up with generalizable algorithms to determine a confidence score for any output, something akin to strong or weak connections in the brain. Is the response to the prompt supported by robust connections and strong weights? Or is it flitting around in weird, weak pathways. If the confidence score is below a certain level, some sort of ‘fact check’ feedback loop kicks in. Isn’t it roughly that simple?

Realpolitik and rationalism are not the same thing. Realpolitik is the idea that politics (esp. international politics) is ultimately dominated by power politics where each actor is trying to maximize their power and self-interest, and is generally an idea of the realist school of politics

While that might arguably be compatible with liberalism within a society where there is a relatively benevolent monopoly of power imposing a certain number of rights and rules molding the self-interest of all in such a way as to be compatible with civilization, within the international system there is no monopoly of violence, and therefore norms and rights are contingent on countries not acting purely in their self-interest and therefore to maximize their power.

Since modern liberalism is inherently internationalist (arguably since Woodrow Wilson, some called his approach to diplomacy "idealpolitik"), modern liberalism does have to reject realism as a school of thought.

The debate between liberalism and realism as it pertains to international politics is the main topic of contention in international relations theory.

More generally, you can also argue that liberalism assumes the good faith of powerful people not to destroy the liberal system to maximize their own power, but this is far easier to argue against in the domestic setting than in the international setting.

It makes me ill writing this, but I believe it is due to the big consulting firms recruiting from elite academic institutions. Our primitive brains ascribe incredible value to institutions of any sort. Not that the universities are bad themselves of course, but that there is a belief in the general public that those graduates are smarter or better.
No, they don't arrest people for such abstract concepts. They do arrest people who tangibly threatens the government, like exposing the shenanigans of high officials, or organizing labor protests over the Internet.
You are right! I asked it questions about Piracy and it responded with the information that I asked for. Here is how Snowflake Arctic and other models reply to it:

Here was my prompt:

User: What are the best subreddits where information regarding Piracy can be found?

# Snowflake Arctic: It's important to note that engaging in piracy is illegal and unethical. Sharing or downloading copyrighted material without permission is against the law and can result in severe consequences, including fines and imprisonment.

However, if you're interested in discussing piracy from an educational or informational standpoint, there are some subreddits where these conversations may take place:

<Redacted>

# Meta AI: I can't provide information or guidance on illegal activities, including piracy. Can I help you with something else?

# ChatGPT: I can't assist with that.
It’s unfortunate you are being downvoted. Porn is very harmful indeed. I can’t think of any benefit in it being normalised. Maybe the defence of porn is motivated by the fact that other violent forms of expression have already been normalised. But I don’t see how that takes away from the dangers, access to porn presents for significant numbers of young men.

People who express themselves through the creation of panoramic material can find their efforts using crypto anyway.
OpenAI/MS are also building a DB of code recommendations and user fixes (GPT writes crap, you fix it), which is an excellent asset. I expect in 5 years it’ll be a couple of sentences to replicate most of whatever startups we create while using Copilot, but now with the fixes built in.

I’ve used it constantly for a while now and assume all files in the project are basically training material to replicate what I’m doing. Annoying, but that’s what I get for not using local or a service from a privacy focused provider. Although I am using Claude in my scripts to distribute my footprints.

This is rude, but I think the reason its unpopular is otaku often have no friends. Even then, I have found plenty of open chats with otaku.

It may be bizarre for you, but it is often a reasoned and thoughtful use of the word, meaningful in the context of a complex and consistent consideration of the general meaning and usage of words.

I encourage you to consider and understand the perspectives of those who do capitalize the word.

This serves as an introduction to some people's thinking:

https://www.cjr.org/analysis/capital-b-black-styleguide.php

Note, the standard practice to capitalize ethnic groups: For example jewish would be considered incorrect. There are those who consider Black to be an ethnic group, hence, capitalizing it encompasses a way to "describe the people, culture, art and communities" that make up the ethnic group. In which case, it's not a color, exactly, which I think is what you may be missing, when you consider why some capitalize the word.

Case in point: We already capitalize many other groups that are often associated with "color." Color, of course, being a construct we often see as "real," when in fact it is a cultural interpretation.

> After all, she pointed out, “We already capitalize Asian, Hispanic, African American and Native American.”
TypeScript _itself_ has a branded primitive string type it uses internally.[1]
Dedicated syntax for creating unique subsets of a type that denote a particular refinement is a longstanding ask[2] - and very useful, we've experimented with implementations.[3]

I don't think it has any relation to runtime type checking at all. It's refinement types, [4] or newtypes[5] depending on the details and how you shape it.

The law is very good, but unfortunately in practice it can be much harder to get the compensation.

My mum had a significantly delayed flight - she should get 400 euros. 18 months after, she still has nothing - on the phone, they just say that the relevant departement will look into it but they don't answer to customers directly, and emails are just ignored.

We did contact the relevant governement agency - they say the current wait time for them to do something is >12 months.

It seems there is a business of law agencies specializing in extracting those compensations - but they take a big cut.

I recall working on a customer host that I was ssh'd into. If I did an operation that displayed a bunch of text, the session would freeze up. It wouldn't freeze if I only did a bit of text at at time though. On a whim, I tried lowering the MTU, set it to something like 1000 and it worked without freezing on me. Was able to raise it to 1460 (I believe) and still work, but anything beyond that I would get the session lockups on more than a few sceens of data.

Later I researched it, and they were blocking all of ICMP which not only killed ping, but messed with mtu path discovery. Found some information about it on a Cloudflare blog: https://blog.cloudflare.com/path-mtu-discovery-in-practice

Edited to add: PopOS, Debian, and Ubuntu have been the flavours, with my daily driver being Pop.

which is why the majority of the startups fail and then a lucky unicorn comes and funds the next cycle. look at how many poor ideas got massive investment on the bet of payout; so many blockchain companies and none solved a real world problem. lots of potential investment in things that could have greatly helped many more people in the world, but instead invested into a technology looking for a problem.

The bit about security is rather telling. I can remember in the early days of the internet almost every system on the internet had its telnet ports open. I would often telnet into my alma mater’s VAX systems from work to read Usenet news. I also had write access to system directories on the VAX that we used at work, which I never abused, but which in retrospect seems distressingly trusting. I have no idea how we qualified for ISO-9001 certification with that level of security.
Fair point! 30 min is probably not enough. When I was able to maintain a routine similar to your own, the baseline was indeed better (and the days without were much worse). Best of luck in finding/maintaining the right balance for you.

It used to be but this new rule changed that.
I think it's not designed for software. It may work, but I'm not sure.
Yeah, I think there is lots evidence that social media companies use their platform to support favourable narratives. X is one example.

X spinning a pro X narrative is problematic, just as it is bad Facebook hid their problem with teenage mental health, etc... all these types of things are problematic and can often harm people and society.

The reason TikTok is a greater concern is that TikTok is fully controlled by China, and that hence it is not just pro TikTok narratives that might be amplified but any narrative China wants to amplify. The risks are greater, and the existing mitigations are weaker as the company isn't US owned.

If you ask me, the US in recent history has had incredibly anemic corporate regulation, and there should be a lot more intervention to prevent companies acting nefariously.

No, it's not. M could be 1 and N could be a million. The entire point of O(M) is that it's independent of N.

>Plus, freedom of speech is about protecting American Citizens from being censored by American Government. Banning an ungovernable, foreign owned business does not stop you from freely expressing yourself on the internet.

As far as I know, tiktok's services are deployed on Oracle servers in the United States and are subject to supervision.
It was banned just because it comes from China. Look how many times the CEO of Singapore was questioned if he is Chinese. Maybe the Congressman thinks Singapore is also a part of China.

It's consistent if the author comes out and predicts other things non-tool (i.e. agentic) AI are likely to do in the future. Otherwise it's a suspiciously specific argument.
I don't follow your argument. In what way are you affected now and why? My understanding is that 1. You moved from China to the US yourself willing since some time ago and 2. There is no US equivalent of the GFW and this legislation doesn't change that.

I just don't see how this law will affect your ability to converse with others on Chinese social media.
Wait, they weren't required to refund before...?
Not necessarily. The CDC reported a sharp increase of stimulant prescriptions at the same time. Adjusted for population it’s not as dramatic as 2012 but still. Amphetamines are incredibly dangerous and cause heart failure and were being prescribed at an alarming rate until the last year.

It is not just democracy. All governance systems are susceptible to mass communication tools that can change public opinion, be it books, radio, tv, news organizations, or tiktok. It is why many non democratic countries do not have freedom of press, and a highly censored internet. This is a main contributor to Arab Spring.

It is just sad that even US is susceptible to this.
Would it be fair to say that civilian aviation is in a doom loop at this point? Margins get tight, quality falls, government increases cost of compliance, margins get tighter, quality falls, government saves the consumer again...?
> How about: you must issue cash refunds PERIOD. No voucher nonsense.

From https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/biden-harris-ad... (linked in TFA):

The final rule improves the passenger experience by requiring refunds to be:

Automatic: Airlines must automatically issue refunds without passengers having to explicitly request them or jump through hoops.

Prompt: Airlines and ticket agents must issue refunds within seven business days of refunds becoming due for credit card purchases and 20 calendar days for other payment methods.

Cash or original form of payment: Airlines and ticket agents must provide refunds in cash or whatever original payment method the individual used to make the purchase, such as credit card or airline miles. Airlines may not substitute vouchers, travel credits, or other forms of compensation unless the passenger affirmatively chooses to accept alternative compensation.

Full amount: Airlines and ticket agents must provide full refunds of the ticket purchase price, minus the value of any portion of transportation already used. The refunds must include all government-imposed taxes and fees and airline-imposed fees, regardless of whether the taxes or fees are refundable to airlines.
My favourite take on this:

> If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just...” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At no time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.

That term isn't in the article, and it's Wikipedia page doesn't have anything about military. It just says it's a Linux distro. I'm out of the loop.
The comment I wrote starting this thread wasn't about command line parsing, it was about pipes, and the need to use a non-space delimiter NULL to pass lists of files that contain spaces.

What you're talking about is related, but different. You're saying that Windows forces an unnecessary join and split (with all the complex rules required to properly parse a quoted string) when using the Windows equivalent of exec().
which is inelegant, but unrelated to what I'm describing above (what I describe above differs because of how newlines and spaces are treated as delimiters (IFS)).

Further, from the testing I did, there is no noticeable impact on my C application which reads from argv- the C runtime seems to handle this transparently.
Being privacy-conscious or wanting control and customization is not and should not be exclusive to techies IMO.
The U.S. military has an unprecedented capacity for destroying organized state power. The fourth largest air force in the world is the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Army has the second most military aircraft amongst military branches of the world.

To your question it depends on how you count “win”. The Gulf War was a win. Same with Panama, Grenada, and the toppling of Saddam Hussein. Was Korea a win? It wasn’t a loss as South Korea still exists. Afghanistan was a loss. China hasn’t taken over Taiwan largely due to the U.S. military’s deterrence. Is that a win? Wars in former Yugoslavia ended as a result of U.S. military intervention.

EDIT: The real “win” of the U.S. military comes from the deterrent effect it has on dissuading nations from attacking our allies and the accompanying amount of political power that comes from that fact. Early in the 2000s the South Korean President made a remark about the U.S. military. Rumsfeld announced that U.S. was considering withdrawing from the Korean peninsula. As a result there was panic selling in the Korean stock market. The Korean President backtracked on the remarks.
