I would be interested in hearing about what kind of "programming" you considered for the "Home". I have been over-ambitiously thinking about a project like this (been calling it my "Building X" project) using an RPi and small screen in the window. I was planning to basically run a soap opera, where the system would usually run idle loops (like a screensaver[1]) but elements of plot could play occasionally when a presence detector verified someone was around to watch. I was envisioning users being able to subscribe to the type of story they wanted to see; murder mystery, rom-com, scifi, etc. Unfortunately I'm a hardware guy, not a TV producer so I never got anywhere.

The frosted windows and NeoPixels are brilliant!

IMO, the permission management of the MS SQL Server is the best one around. It gets all the basics right, without any big issue. Other DBMS should copy it, or use it as a starting point if they want to go further (and there is plenty of stuff to improve on it).

TLDR, the container objects and the contained ones all share the same kind of permissions. Permissions of the container are applied to the contained unless explicitly changed.

So, if you grant select on the schema dbo to a, a will get select on all tables there. If you want to remove some table, you revoke the select on that specific table. And there is both metadata to discover where a specific privilege comes from and specific commands that edit the privileges on a specific level.
you are right. But what I mean is that there is no need to make exaggerated reports, but it should be discussed from the perspective of the Chinese government's serious violations of laws and human rights, even if the Chinese government will argue that "this is my internal affairs." Exaggerated reporting is a barbaric and dishonest act that does nothing to solve the problem and prevents the public from understanding the true context of the matter.

probably around 12-13 in both cases, but this was about 30 years ago, when the web was nascent and did not learn from you, how to addict you.

That's a very way to express that idea. I'll be reusing that, if you don't mind.. :-) I've always expressed it more crudely as having the feeling of being forcefully lobotomized by the producers..

> It's surprising how few people make rules for thier kids to help direct them in life these days.

Do they make rules for themselves? If not, I would not expect it for the kids. If the parents are scrolling, then they are not going to have much of a leg to stand on.

For small OS images you can sometimes get away with loading the whole thing into RAM on boot and then running from RAM, which essentially removes the boot drive from the equation completely except for that initial copy to RAM.

I always pick this option when I use Clonezilla because usually I'm booting it from a USB stick and everything would be slow the whole time if I didn't put it into RAM.
For all the people fretting over whether they should let their own children use these platforms, fearing that keeping them off will alienate them from their peers, I'd suggest considering the following quote:

> The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted. - Huxley

It will likely make them a social outcast, to a degree. The question is whether that's a good thing or not.

Considering ICE is less than 40% thermal efficiency of the fuel, I'd say it works out just fine.

But fast charging in general should only be used when there's no voice - it's a lot harder on the battery. Better to slow charge overnight.
A poor home life in any sense of the term should not matter unless it means the parents are outright abusive. I did not play outside as a kid because my parents emphasized it. I did it because there were kids right outside and playing with them was more fun than anything I could do inside. If one of my parents had to drive me anywhere for me to be physically active, I would very rarely have gone anywhere or done anything at all.

Parents chaperoning their kids every hour of every day _is not normal_ and never has been, except in the US.
I personally thought it was blindingly obvious that the show would be bad, to the point I haven't bothered watching. Not only are the books kinda hard to translate to TV, but the people in charge are the guys who did Game of Thrones. The train wreck that show turned into gave me no confidence that they could do a good job with an even more difficult adaptation.
I actually thought about that recently. Not about kids, but overall platform addiction. I don't think there is anything as addicted as binge-watching short video content.

After Snapchat, and not TikTok nailed it - all other platforms (including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube etc) are trying to not improve their platforms, but keep you on their platforms for a longer period of time by switching to that binge-watching short video content.

There is nothing good about it. It does not teach you anything, just a very dump spend of your time. Maybe that sounds like an old man speaking in me. But that is how I feel about myself spending time watching shorts on YouTube, FB or Instagram.
would be hard to consider it an operating expense for sure
I think you are completely missing my point here.

The website works on the Safari that comes with the latest OS. I can't update the Safari version without updating the OS with a 14GB update. Nevermind the extremely annoying hassle of having to backup the devices before the updates "just in case".

I don't have to do that for any non-Apple browser while using the same Apple laptop. [0]

I think it was the late and great Joe Armstrong who said, in a tongue-in-cheek remark on object oriented programming,

"You want a banana, but to get the banana you need the gorilla holding the banana and the [goddamn] rain forest it lives in." (brackets might be my frustrated addition.)

[0] there were other websites that would work seamlessly on other browsers but would throw security errors that disappeared after the OS update, including an email provider that is regular posted about on HN.
The bigger question is whether the fine was less than the amount they made selling the location data.
Those who destroy The Internet Archive must live in our memories.
Copyright has (for better or worse) co-evolved with the technical ability to create effectively infinite copies of works, so I don't think we have any empirical data to prove or disprove this.
Banning phones is necessary. Otherwise, if you want to be a responsible parent and keep your kid away from smartphones or social media, it’s not going to work. They’ll get exposed to it through others around them, which will make things difficult, but they’ll also be exposed to the culture, trends and mental health issues that social media creates from other kids.
I apologize, I wasn't trying to be offensive or hurtful, I was just reaching for an example and phrased it poorly and thoughtlessly.

(I'll also edit my comment.)

> And I think I'd prefer not to pursue this line of discussion any further.

Fair enough.

For the record, from what I've read of your comments so far, I think we mostly agree about things, apologies that I let the topic make me talk in a way that is inappropriate. (I also like your username for the record)
If you (or your partner) have complex medical history / needs then a budget plan won't cut it. $35k is a very realistic figure.
Alternatively, a precedent that the FCC can and will actually fine someone for breaking the law. The leap from $0 to $200M is much larger than the step from $200M to real fines.
I used to work for a hedge fund that bought data for 125 million americans a month, all of their mobile phone pings. All sorts of deep learning algorithms analyze shopping, warehouse, and other foot traffic. People have no idea the level of understanding some private investors have. It goes far beyond anything you see in public numbers. Some of the smartest people on the planet, teasing out wild facts about daily habits of americans. Every statistical algorithm known to man has been run on this data
How can you be sure that no one in your kids class is on tiktok?
They did learn their lesson with google.

That's why they're taking the money that OpenAI/Microsoft is offering.

They tried to do it in court with google and never got anywhere with it. So this time around they just take the money from whoever is willing to write the biggest check.

> Just to be clear, it is your position that the IA's Wayback Machine and abandonware archives should also not exist, right?

No, I fully support these missions. Both have defensible fair use protections and do not try to break new legal ground with flimsy justifications. I wish the IA were little more aggressive about not retroactively applying robots.txt rules on archived content.

It's hard to reconcile how overly careful they are with the Wayback Machine compared to the carelessness of unlimited lending. I am livid they risked their priceless archives for book piracy - that's not a great hill to die on.
It was a first time warning. If they don't reform they can get hit with repeated fines that are larger.
If those people don't sell their content, other publishers will and they will lose out anyway.

Each individual publisher isn't needed. There is lots of training data in the world. So you can either get a payday or get nothing.
Unlikely, since the translator is an author in his own right, and his work does not suffer from this problem.
My experience is that more knowledge can help an algorithmic decision process make a better decision, but it can also take longer to make that decision when you're dealing with combinatorial explosion. When you inject delay into a feedback system, you almost always will introduce oscillations. (You can do some things to partially correct for it, but that works best when you have a predictable and consistent amount of delay.) Intuitively, you can think of this as taking too long to respond, and then overcorrecting time after time, since you keep overshooting your target and not realizing that you've overshot for some time.

That said, computer systems are similarly prone to inaccuracy. Perhaps not to the same extent as human organizations, but they have similar propensity to fail spectacularly. If you fail to model certain characteristics of the system (or model them poorly), then you can end up in a situation where your load balancer is causing significant congestion and not thinking anything is wrong. Or your hardware planning pipeline thinks that it has lots of spare capacity even though you're overflowing every day at peak. Or your central planning committee for the government thinks you have lots of excess grain production when that's simply not the case in reality.

(Algorithm implementations can also be outright buggy.)

Another way your model can fail is if you treat resources as infinitely fungible. Suppose you have enough food in Shanghai to feed two billion people, but no food anywhere else in China. Without an adequate transportation / distribution network, everyone outside Shanghai is going to starve, and all the excess food in Shanghai is going to rot. Similarly, your servers in California aren't going to do very much for users in India if you don't have the infrastructure to actually serve that long-haul traffic.

Another point that I didn't bring up, but related to your point about global vs local decision makers, is that centralized systems have much larger blast radius. In the case of China during the Great Leap Forward (one of the examples from the article), bad decisions led to famine across the entire country. In the case of a global load balancer, you can break your service globally.
> No "teach your child about the issues with being on a phone all day" or "set reasonable restrictions on phone usage"?

The capitalist solution is always to move all the responsibility to the most vulnerable members of society. Your food is infected with a novel bacteria resistant to all antibiotics? Should have chosen your food better! Sorry, not sorry, it's you by yourself vs deception of a multi-billion dollar corporation.

Also, while you are at it, we made it a crime to photograph the farm, so you will never know the condition animals were raised in!

It’s a fair point. Most of what the IA does is probably technically copyright violation but I’d argue there’s a qualitative difference between making copies of public websites, software that publishers have abandoned, and other things in that vein—especially given they historically bent over backwards to stop sharing copyrighted material if someone got upset— and sharing digitized copyrighted books Willy-nilly given there was already precedent that you just can’t do that.
This is another good point that seems to fly under the radar - putting aside the implications for free society for a moment, even if we were to implement legislation regarding the use of social media, rest assured, kids will find a way around it if they want to - much like with drugs.
The simpler, and much more likely, explanation is that those countries don't want to upset China, since doing so tends to be bad for trade. Just ask Latvia (I think it was) what happens if you make it a point to recognise Taiwan.
I thought it was a great standalone show. What I found unforgivable were the underlying plot changes vs the books.

The Last Envoy? What? That did not even become a plot point (at least in season 1, I bailed pretty early in S2). Also, Envoys are terrorists and not the ultimate-special ops forces?
Georgia, Crimea, Donbass, all the many assassinations on Western soil, etc.
I'd argue that the biggest difference between that kind of "dumb variety tv" and tiktok is that tiktok is essentially endless, and it suits the content to you. There's a big difference between the heads of a clip show deciding what gets shown on tv based off empathy and the occasional focus group test, and an inhuman algorithm which pays attention only to "engagement" - whether that engagement be positive or negative.
Hmmm, is the second definition here [1] the "screwed up" one?

> An issue regarded as potentially debatable, but no longer practically applicable. Although the idea may still be worth debating and exploring academically ... the idea has been rendered irrelevant for the present issue.

That's literally the only way I've heard it. (American here.) I'm nonplussed about this.

As far as I can tell, the book publishers are merely seeking to have 17 U.S. Code § 108, subsection (g) enforced.

The law[1] makes it clear public libraries are permitted to make one digital copy and distribute it (lend it) once at a time on separate occasions. Subsection (g) outlines that distributing that one copy multiple times simultaneously forfeits the protections granted by this law.

Drop in an ocean. Should've done 5% of annual revenue. That would send a much bigger message.
yeah it's engineered to be maximally engaging.
My summary of what he said is: if you want a chance to make huge money quickly, make huge bets. If you want to build a solid, profitable business and minimize risk of failure, make smaller bets.

It's two different ways of doing business. He's describing the VC path and disparaging the non-VC path. But they're both legitimate paths. Which is best for you depends on what your goals are.
I think it's relatively unlikely that having an agent write graph queries will outperform vector search against graph information outputted into text and then transformed into vectors.

The related issue that I think is being conflated in this thread is that even if your goal was to directly support graph queries, you could accomplish this with a vanilla database much easier than running a specialized graph db

>but the experimental result is essentially nothing.

Sir, this is SIGBOVIK.
I appreciate the point, but the numbers there are the proportion of revenue, not the percentage of revenue, so they're off by a factor of 100.
Isn’t that why anyone does any job? Even if you love tinkering with computers the reality of a job involves a lot of other stuff.
> Rolling over beacuse somebody is a nuclear power only seems to come up when Russia is in the chat. If China or Israel attacks someone, nobody says "we can't respond to it because it would start a nuclear war."

>What is it about Russia that makes Russia so irresponsible?

Consider the contents of the training sets. China hasn't "been" our "enemy" until relatively recently, it takes a while for "reality" to propagate to all nodes.
> I'll be honest, a Republican president would never have give us this win.

The announcement makes it clear that a republican president started the investigation and in turn had a clear contribution to this.
I really don't know, frankly. I think to a degree one needs to have a good civil culture, but capital also works hard to influence culture for its own benefit. Maybe we just don't even have the social technology to square this circle yet.

I'm about as far from a capitalist as one might imagine. But hey, let's let the corporations and lobbyists legislate more of what we can and can't do, instead of relying on our own willpower to do so. Certainly that will show those pesky capitalists!
How much of this is TV specifically and how much is social signalling about wealth and class? I know I resented that my parents made me buy clothes at "Zellers" (defunct Canadian WalMart) and "Value Village" (thrift store) because kids made fun of my "poor" clothes once in a while. By the time I was 20 I realized that my parents were right and none of those opinions from my peers mattered the least bit.

They're mass-less, and are usually thought of as a zero-dimensional object, having no volume and taking up no space.

You can theoretically have an unlimited number of them in a space due to this, but due to other properties of bosons (like photons), there are other limits. In particular, if you accumulate enough of them they spontaneously spawn new particles!

They aren't really physical particles in the classical sense, they cross quantum fields, and to the extent that those occupy space, the photon isn't in any one position, but merely crossing it or spread out across it.
Its not bad, and I would recommend it once someone starts going crazy with the layers. Instead of having layers, you have dictionaries that have sets of chords that all follow a similar pattern. For example, this is my symbol "layer": https://steno.sammdot.ca/emily-symbols.png Typing on a real keyboard is too much work, and I try to avoid it if at all possible. Few people seem to know this, but you can also chord single letters, it is just slower than chording a full word or phrase. I have dictionaries for cursor movement, almost any shortcut combination, html tags, cli programs, diacritics, etc. I don't know why it is not more popular.
FYI, the first half of the second book is very slow and somewhat cringe at times. You just have to plow through because the back-half of the second book + the third book are a wild ride that's totally worth it.
>They had to put the exit stamp on _something_?

Are exit stamps a thing in Schengen area for EU citizens? I usually just pass an automatic gate after scanning the passport. It does not have any European marks.
Stamp is historically a permission to leave, which EU citizens do not need: we are free to leave and return back.
Likely not the law of the government, but I'm certain the law of your parents had something to do with it.

Without copyright we would probably make mostly low-cost/small-scale art, of the type that can be achieved by a single person, and probably would not make big expensive collaborative projects like $100m+ blockbuster movies which are hard to bring into existence without a strong profit motive.
I thought the "failed" result of the project was more due to economic factors, and the reduced need due to other actions in the war meaning a waterborne carrier was less useful. Not some issue with the mechanical properties of pykrete. If the tested properties were already past that 1/2 absolute temperature point and considered acceptable, it doesn't really matter what the behavior would have been at less than that.

Well, if it's surprising, it's because you have too much exposure to imperative languages.
