StackOverflow are violating the SA part of CC-BY-SA by selling special access to the CC-BY-SA content to one party and blocking others from the same thing.

OpenAI are violating both BY and SA but that's a seperate issue.

Everyone who contributed work, did so under terms that the work was free for all, not a resource that one party can sell to another party who then sells to end users. Those end users were meant to have it directly without having to pay openai or anyone else, and if any bulk/scraping access is allowed for anyone like openai, everyone else has the right to the same thing for no more than a "shipping & handling" charge to cover the network & employee cost to physically deliver the data.

What are StackOverflow selling, and/or what exactly are OpenAI paying for? What is the goods or services that is traded for the money?

There are many possible answers but I see no answer that doesn't ultimately one way or another wind up resolving into a violation of one or more terms of CC-BY-SA by both StackOverflow and OpenAI.

X over SSH works really well for me as long as I enable SSH compression. At least for my usage, I can't tell it apart from a native window but then again I'm not running sophisticated programs which update frequently.

Yes, people have been sued before for giving advice that was acted upon.

I remember hearing about an construction engineer who was sued for giving bad advice whilst drunk to a farmer over fixing a dam. The dam failed and the engineer was found to be liable.
Sorry for my word's :(
> I was very surprised to learn that it is actually just a “regular” network protocol for two parties to communicate like HTTP, FTP, IMAP, SMPT and etc.

With the important distinction that all those protocols very intentionally use human readable ASCII requests/responses. Of course, for performance sake, ease of debugability was sacrificed. Which increases the value of a standard library to hide the protocol.
Very nice. Please do open it up as much as possible. I'm curious about the data pipeline. I love bouldering and have thought about different ML ideas in that domain. I'm also an avid beta breaker. Finding alternative solutions somehow tickles my hacker-brain. So my first idea was intended beta vs. alternatives but I was only thinking in 2d and images :)
Another idea I've played around with is more objective grading but labeling is kind of hard especially with gyms rotating routes so I thought about using Kilterboatd data and transfer learning it or maybe unsupervised approaches.

Congrats on a cool idea and most importantly the execution.

My James Smith & Sons Umbrella has a lightweight steel frame (apparently invented by James Smith the 2nd in 1851) - weighs about 500g and has lasted 30+ years.

> Or they'd have turned Lisp machines from hardware into a "Lisp machine" OS or IDE/REPL/etc environment for other OSes succeeding.

That was a very different business model, very different offering into a different market. One could not move that business model easily, in an existing company to a different market. There were offices, factories, contracts, ... -> costs to get rid of. The thing collapsed, before anything usefully could be scaled down.

For example the Symbolics graphics products were very expensive, just the software. A new owner ported it to SGI and Windows NT machines. To be a technically viable product it used a commercial Lisp vendor. It survived a while in that market (modelling/animation/game tools for game studios, animation studios, ...), changed owners again and then died.

Lisp (the forbidden word during/after the AI Winter) was a part of the problem, but generally a new business model and customers for it wasn't found/searched. For example TI just closed its AI business and never cared about it from then on.

Something like Genera was a huge pile of Lisp code written during 1.5 decades. During its best times the OS and maintenance upgrades were already more expensive than a PC.

Applications from the Lisp Machine were ported away. One no longer needed the OS and no longer had the OS. Some applications died, some survived, some died later.

Some applications (or the development environment) survived for some years on emulators (-> Interlisp-D was ported to SUNs and PCs, Genera was ported to DEC Alpha).
Thanks for the clarification. We only need to check one more thing - have you activated content search on the Proton Mail desktop app too? Because if you activated it on the web app only, it doesn't apply to the desktop app, it needs to be activated on desktop separately.
If you have done so, please report this to us at: https://proton.me/support/troubleshooting?product=mail so we can look into it.
Thanks.
In a way it is already incorporated. Broadly speaking, chaperones function by restricting the available conformational sampling space for the protein to fold. Some researchers even consider the ribosome as a chaperone of sorts for the nascent protein chain it synthetizes.

Protein structure prediction methods do the same: they find ways of restricting the conformational space to explore, in hopes of finding the global minimum-energy conformation representing the native structure of the protein.
Job Bait and Switch
I was offered a job (funny enough through hacker news) only to be ghosted by the person hiring me. It's a soul crushing experience, and now I'm back in square one. I'm seeing this happen more on my social feeds, even a couple FANG companies have been receding offers. How common is this, and what can I do about it? (not really sure if HN is meant for this kind of conversations but I am interested in what this crowd would think)

Me too. I went from using various pieces of equipment and freshly grinding it every day to simple cafetiere coffee using pre-ground coffee.

Then I got into coffee again and wondered what the hell was wrong with me. Life is too short for bad coffee. If something is forcing me to make such sacrifices in things like coffee and food I fix the thing.

Well, one was the FAA, which isn't a company in the conventional sense. Freddie Mac is marginal (it's strictly speaking a company, but basically a state enterprise). This is a bit like someone who had previously only watched television writing a review of the first book they read; they just don't really have the experience to usefully discuss it.

> I wouldn't be so eager to trade the gatekeepers you so fear for even an openly available chat service that is happy to automate away as much information work as possible.

Don't flatter yourself. People want to solve their problems so that they can build what they want to. They don't have time for shenanigans from internet jerks who get their validation from imaginary internet points.
Because "some inconvenience/unmet requirement" from a language is not an invitation to "throw out the whole platform and your existing code and tooling, and learn/adopt/use an entirely different, single-vendor platform".

Except if we're talking about some college student or hobbyist picking their first language and exploring the language space...
Mass is a tradeoff too, but I suppose you could shove half of the weight without compromising the durability. Would that still not be a viable product then? Something a tad heavier than standard big umbrella, much more expensive, but nearly indestructible?

I'd go for it. And yes, I'm very much the kind of user who says they'd go for durable umbrella and, at the same time, also says they use an umbrella very infrequently. Well, that's because umbrellas suck donkey balls, to borrow a phrase from the Expanse. I avoid the light ones as even a little breeze makes them flip their shape from convex to concave and eventually break struts. The heavier ones... well, they all seem to magically break within couple months, so it's always a lottery if I pick one with torn fabric or hanging strut, and then when I do, then what? Throw away the looks-fixable-but-really-too-cheeply-made-to-be-fixed one, and buy another one, fourth one this fall? The whole experience makes me avoid umbrellas except for the heaviest of rains, and it's mostly because of lack of durability.
Linear is a great tool but honestly it’s mostly because it’s bug free and has a decent amount of features. Project management software feels like it will eventually become commoditized I think, if we haven’t arrived there already. In the end there’s only so many ways to abstract what a “project” is so eventually the selling point will be based mostly on automation, integrations and UX after that original set of features is there.

It’s why I’m quite bull on GitHub’s project management software, because they’ve already got the integration and automation stories handled. They just need to catch up with feature parity and UX. The second that they get that, they will absolutely start eating these other companies lunch. And they are getting closer every year
Marketing Guide: The Basics to Get Your First 100 Users
Looking at https://ourworldindata.org/famines though, we've pretty much solved famine as a problem. You're assuming that we can't do it a 2nd time if the climate changes - but we probably can. Organising food isn't a new problem for society, we've been working on this for all of recorded history and gotten really good at it.

I can imagine a brutal transitional famine if we get caught unprepared; could happen. But so many people are looking at climate change it seems like the people who need to know would know. The farmers know about it, the insurers know about it, the governments know, so on and so forth. It might just as easily be a non-issue.

> ... building a shelter is not going to be of any help unless those shelters have extensive cooling or air conditioning...

Yep. If it were you, would you build an extensive shelter with air conditioning or declare war on someone a continent away? I think the shelter is the easy option. It is roughly analogous to a snowstorm - I have relatives who are prepared to live in isolation for a good month.

Climate events trying to kill us is not all that new. Surprises hurt, but if they happen a few times we'll just start taking them in stride.

Most large companies aren't particularly well run.
It’s not about the price of upgrades though, it’s about their bundling together and the ridiculously stingy base specs that often make the upgrade non-optional. People who buy a base MacBook Air probably aren’t thinking about keeping it for 8 years or using it for heavy workloads.
>I think they were extending the original point you were responding to, and remixing your own mixed metaphor of free beer.

Perhaps. But having been to many festival environments, I can definitely imagine a tent offering "free beer" that is actually approximately free -- both with, and without a slathering of advertising. (Actually, I don't really have to imagine it -- I've been there and have had that free beer.)

I can't imagine them coming to my house and knocking on my door at night to sell me more of it, though. That's absurd.

>In the attention economy, advertising has a cost that is borne by the advertiser and the consumer, up to and including loss of property rights in the case of content relicensure and trespass upon devices leading to excess battery usage, as well as loss of privacy due to geotargeted ads.

Well, sure. When viewed on a long-enough timeline, it becomes abundantly clear that nothing is actually free, comrade.

I can produce my own beer on a hypothetical plot of land that nobody owns, and that nobody else wants to use, and I can give someone one of these beers. For "free."

But it still has a cost. (And this, too, is an absurd reduction.)

What do you mean luxury? Samsung produces phones that are 2x more expensive and are more luxurious.

E.g. Apple still doesn't offer a flipphone that turns into a tablet when you open it.
If you wanted a unix-y laptop for non-silly money with working wifi and battery life measured in the hours in 2004, the G4 iBook was really the only game in town (cheaper PC laptops were available, but their power control barely worked on Windows, nevermind Linux, and they tended to use softmodems and cheapo wifi interfaces with no usable Linux drivers - laptops which worked well with Linux existed but were extremely expensive). From there, mostly habit (I suspect that laptop hooked a _lot_ of nerds; you used to see them all over the place).

Nothing I've seen about modern Windows makes me at all inclined to use it (my one experience actually attempting to use it in the last decade to test something was extremely painful, though it was in a VM, so maybe it just doesn't really work on VMs) and I'm extremely glad to have missed out on the whole Wayland debate on the Linux side.
I agree - considering Han unification, what justifies the existence of the segmented digits or the outline uppercase characters? (Or traditional vs simplified Chinese characters, etc etc etc…)

> If you just expose your local X11 TCP server port and connect to it from the server (X11 client) by setting the DISPLAY env properly, it will be much more responsive.

That's fine on a LAN with low or sub ms latency. If you need to connect to a server on the other side of the country, you'll want a less chatty protocol, e.g. X2GO (which gives additional benefits, e.g. of restartable sessions).
Actually I think you are making a slightly different observation about acceleration. We were talking about top-end speed, not acceleration from a standstill.
It was a game changer at launch when it was free. Now it's slow and worse.
The part you are missing here is that the work was already done and none of that progress was shared with management. After all what would they do? Accelerate the project!

Stick it to the man when they try to get others to work harder to glorify themselves. Weak bastards.

It's an... unusual skill to have, I'd say. Maybe it's the issue of education or culture, but I'm with GP here: in my mind, metal parts can often be repaired by hand, or an improvised replacement can be made; plastics break too easily, and you can't make new ones without a 3D printer or something.
They are perhaps only the best by a very small margin.

I am happy to not support Apple's ecosystem and use a minimally worse laptop from a different brand.
For the benefit of two companies vs the benefit of hundreds of millions of individuals (esp. in a currency crisis).
On what grounds? Do they have a patent on spreadsheet-looking interfaces?

It leaves a bit of a bad taste IMO to blatantly copy a startup that’s working its ass off to create a good product and then releasing it as open source, but I have a hard time imagining you can make this legal. Not a lawyer though.
Good design dictates that you start one loop and build the whole program around it, no? The docs for asyncio.run say as much.
> But if everyone confirms his bad decisions instead of pointing flaws out, then they are all part of the problem.

They are part of the problem but they don’t have to be part of the solution. It’s the CTOs job to realize they’re not getting accurate information from below and work to fix it, that’s why they’re getting paid the big bucks. It’s not like it’s especially hard to figure out but building the trust to create an atmosphere of psychological safety is the job of executives and takes a lot of hard internal reflection but that’s what you sign up to when you sign up to do the job.
News is about how the guy uses the device successfully almost non-stop while awake. And how even though there were some issues with the retracted threads, the accuracy increased massively compared to the initial one.

But the title of the article says the implant experienced a problem.

Gotta love the Fake News Media
Also since you are thinking in this space, you are probably interested in WHY it’s wrong 25% of the time. It’s because the way slack discussions about issues go is heterogeneous in our org. If you are lucky someone was diligent and made it into thread, at which point the AI is quite good at its job. But often (myself included, because sometimes you’re just lazy and sometimes in an incident things don’t necessarily happen in the cleanest way) no threads are created and you need to gen a ticket off a single sentence. Which if you feed as part of a RAG-like prompt is not going to be very useful in a lot of cases.

Unfortunately there’s no clean obvious way to “guess” what the context is under those conditions, but maybe someone can be clever with heuristics to try to do that where they perhaps feed the last X amount of tokens in from slack and do a Langchain-like approach where first the context is summarized in the initial call and then the title is generated from that summary

> To be honest, I'm wondering where all these cartoonishly unhealthy companies come from.

Simply take the norms of one industry, and apply them in a radically different industry.

Take a manager from the construction industry who knows a bricklayer with an assistant can lay 2 tonnes of bricks in an 8 hour shift, and if they didn't it's probably because they took a 3 hour lunch break, and apply it to the software world.

Take a manager from the food service industry, who expects workers to clock in before their shift starts, and that a worker who's even two minutes late is letting down the team and needs immediate attitude adjustment.

Take a manager from precision manufacturing, where Zero Defects is the norm, and "bugs" don't exist, and failing to deliver precisely what was promised is a big embarrassment.

Take a manager from the call centre industry, who thinks if you take a lax attitude to sick leave people will start falsely calling in sick all the time, anyone who calls in sick should be interviewed by HR upon their return.

Take a manager from a paperwork-heavy industry where work is simple but precision is important - like data entry for paper forms, where a worker who makes even minor typos just isn't cut out for the work.

Take a drill sergeant from the army who knows the most important thing in inducting a new employee is yelling in their face and bullying them, thus letting them bond with their peers....

> The reason for this imho isn't that people don't care about the resources. It is rather that everyone has been conditioned to assume that products are crappier than specified.

Personally I'm very aware of the labor and resources required to build a high quality item. This is why I buy them. It's made by humans, with great effort, to have a long life.

Honestly, I want all my items to "positively age" with me as much as possible, and even if they become slightly insufficient (storage devices, or electronics in general), I try to find uses for them until they reach their true end of their life.

And yes, I don't like crappy items. I want to buy one item once (or as few times possible) and have good performance performing its function. It can be an umbrella, a shoe, a keyboard or a pen. Anything, actually.
This is such a good idea. Another one I would like to have is a single number repressing legacy code. I'm not sure exactly what but is there a way to represent the code which people are writing workarounds for.
You can bend small metal pieces with your bare hands, or with pliers, or you can beat it into shape with hammer (or any stiff object). Plastics get damaged and break when you try that.
Apple's hardware these days is exceptional but the software left wanting in comparison. MacOS feels like it's been taking two steps back for every step forward for a decade now. I run MacOS, Linux w/ i3, and Windows all every day, and outside of aesthetics & apple integration MacOS feels increasingly the least coherent of the 3.

The same is true of the ipad which is just a miraculous piece of hardware constrained by an impotent operating system.
I feel like this approach wouldn't be able to make me truly valuable at any larger company for example, which in this case would be the ones considered unhealthy? Because there's enough complexity that takes years to understand. I think as an engineer your ability to provide value climbs in multiples the more you understand the product and what the company itself exactly values, besides the tech. You can solve meaningless problems using tech, but if you understand what is exactly worth solving, this is when your value can skyrocket, especially the larger the company is. Because you will have the understanding of marketing, leadership and product people while having technical capability to know what can be done.

And also I feel like if it's better to switch companies every 2 years because of better pay, it implies that the current company is not actually healthy, because if they were, they would understand the value you provide, you should be able to provide more value at their company rather than starting from scratch in another company.

While I don't feel my current company is healthy, at least I feel like I've been able to climb through promos and compensation faster than if I were to switch every 2 years. I have been there for 6 years.
