Well, you can't bundle GPL licensed software with less restrictive one such as BSD, which is a big deal, that's why BSD and GNU/Linux are so separated in many ways. That's just one problem. It'c clear that all-or-nothing approach doesn't work in free and open source software world.

However, some forms of generative AI are clearly harmful and should not be released to the general public. Take tools that can clone someone's voice with a few seconds of data. The legitimate use of such a tool is basically limited to special effects in a small number of movies / radio plays where the original speaker is dead or otherwise unable to be recorded again. However the developers have released these tools to the general public, and they are now being widely used primarily to scam people via grandparent scams and fake endorsements of scams by celebrities.

Personally, I think the people that released these tools should be held to account for the harm they are causing. I get that it was a cool thing to do, but the harm of their release is far, far greater than the benefit to humanity. As the developers of these tools clearly aren't considering the consequences of their release to the general public, there is a need for governments to step in and regulate.

Furthermore, this isn't a new phenomenon in the tech industry. The checks and balances that existed in advertising prior to online advertising taking over the world were irresponsibly discarded by companies like Google. Organizations like the various Advertising Standards bodies serve a purpose: to protect the public from harmful content, including scams. Instead we have a tech platform that has completely removed humans from the ad sales loop, which has resulted in ads for scams showing up higher in search results than the actual content. Combined with the decision to blur the visual differences between ads and legitimate search results, it is very difficult for less discerning individuals to avoid phising and other scam websites. I've seen this with my own eyes where my elderly father gets highly targeted ads online for scams that don't show up when I do the exact same search from the same local network.

Maybe computer scientists need to be required to take ethics and sociology courses to teach them why these things are bad.

> I'm talking about concrete being recyclable.

The same way plastics somehow being called recyclable, despite being very different from actually recyclable materials like glass or steel. It's greenwashing PR bullshit. Yes you can “recycle” concrete in other use, but you cannot make new cement nor sand from your concrete, which means you still need quarries to make new concrete. With this definition stone would be “recyclable” too, since you can use it to make concrete later on. That's just not what recycling means to most people except the people designing the greenwashing campaigns.

> You suggested that stone can replace reinforced concrete for dense urban housing.

No I did not suggest to replace anything, and I even called you for moving the goalpost when you said so for the first time. My entire argument is that reinforces concrete sucks, stone is just one example because how were I live is built, but mud brick would have worked too in my argumentation, really. The problem lies in the status quo, which implies using reinforced concrete nilly-willy, I'm not suggesting one particular way around this situation, but stop acting as if it was not a garbage building material.

> No. Where I live we use reinforced concrete because we had several earthquake disasters.

Tell that to the Turkish that died in the earthquake this winter, most buildings where reinforced concrete ones, it doesn't solve the earthquake problem in its own. And most places where we use reinforced concrete are not places prone to earthquakes anyway.

> Vast majority of buildings are quite boring and unimaginative.

That's very typical from fashion though so it's not a counterpoint at all, quite the opposite.

Disposable LM5 looks already price competitive with F9 at $3000/kg. Good indicator PRC commercial space can drive down costs once they figure out reusables at scale. LM9 might rival Starship in 10 years. IMO, SpaceX delivered new capabilities, but it's still delivering them on TBF rookie American scale, rotating through 40 launch vehicles is really not that much. Once PRC figures out renewable then can probably do to space what they're doing to shipbuilding - explode into magnitude more capacity that can eclipse lifetime spaceX tonnages in a few years. Question is if there's enough demand for sending much payload into orbit outside of rolling out and sustaining mega constellations. SpaceX/US is ahead because they can secure developed country customers with more space demand. Worry is when payload to orbit is cheap, and there's no demand, then only thing that's left is using excess delivery to weaponize space.
Actually, while I share your skepticism about the argument, this isn't a very good counter—plenty of commanders in that situation would have been perfectly content to keep the young pliable boy on the throne. Each one of them would have had more power in that situation than they would in a succession crisis.

Indeed, in the event it worked out quite well for them. First conquer the world with the united Macedonian army, then partition the world between them when Alexander dies.

Potentially, but if you wrote a test for your incorrect code wouldn't you do the same?

In the end I think the important part is not giving tests more trust than they deserve. If you fix the incorrect code and break a test you should give your change a closer look, but also give the test a closer look before you decide which needs to be fixed.
By that argument we should tax private broadband providers to claw back past subsidies with interest and eliminate current ones.

Instead it’s just an argument that subsidies for private businesses is good but public works is bad, which seems silly.
I love Sierra games growing up, but I've come to understand that they were not great games and often quite user hostile, but benefited more from being early movers in an underserved market. They rightfully deserved all of the success they had at the time, but as the market shifted, they eventually just fell to those changes as most privately funded companies do. Not enough capital to pivot, and not enough capital to improve their core technologies through sufficient R&D.

Ken Williams tried to innovate into new underserved markets (e.g. dial-up gaming services pre-Internet), and "buy R&D" by acquiring other companies, which worked for a while. But his core founding game designers had been surpassed in the industry, and their location made it very hard to recruit new talent. The shift to higher resolutions and 3D obsoleted their core technology and the technical talent they had just couldn't keep up. (source: there's a few very good long-form interviews with Ken Williams on these business realities).

Sierra was not going to make it as a software house, the writing was on the wall for a while. They tried to switch to using their established sales channels and turned to distributing and did really well for a few titles like Half-Life and Homeworld, but then those companies went elsewhere with the market. By the "end" Sierra itself was mostly making card games, and then blowing most of their budget on buggy, late to market, and underperforming 3D versions of their main series.

Selling the company was really the only alternative for them, but once you do that you give up vision and control.

It's sad how they ended up, and I'm thankful for the memories, but things move on.
No, no Palestinian who lives in the state of Israel can be funded by the Israeli government to do one of those five things. They can still be funded to do other things - all other things. They just can't be funded to do those things with government money.

Seems pretty reasonable to me...
I found using Nix package manager on my current daily-driver OS was a great way to break the ice. After translating my dotfiles to Nix and figuring out my project-specific development workflow I had given myself a strong foundation for NixOS.

Jumping into the deep end and going straight to daily-driving NixOS, is certainly also a good option.

There are lots of Chinese who think that reunification is something that can wait for centuries even though it’s important. However, this raises the question of what the purpose of the current PRC naval buildup is. Some observations.

1. China is no longer so weak or unconnected that PLAN expansion serves to protect its sovereignty from Western intrusion. It would be utterly bonkers for the West to launch a preëmptive or unprovoked attack on China. There is no credible risk of a recurrence of a century of humiliation that is being prevented by the current naval buildup.

2. Current PLAN expansion is useful on a scale of decades rather than centuries. It is doubtful that the same ships will be helpful in two or five hundred years.

3. PLAN expansion is part of a broader more hawkish strategy (also in Hong Kong) that makes much more sense on the scale of decades rather than centuries. Taiwan was on a very slow path to HKSAR-like status in the 90s, and both HK and Taiwanese separatism are fundamentally reactionary phenomena that would not have gained significant traction but for fears of an /illiberal/ China. Peaceful economic integration and close people-to-people ties would have been far more effective on the scale of centuries—the problem is that one has to wait.

4. The strategic advantage PLAN expansion confers is plausibly time-limited. The PLAN is building ships far faster than everybody /right now/. That advantage may well diminish soon, depending on US/Aukus/Japanese politics.

5. Demographic factors (on the scale of decades) will soon pose a problem.

Given this combination of factors, there is a period in the next decade or two that will plausibly mark the best opportunity for decisive action to take Taiwan for perhaps the next century, and the zhongnanhai clearly wants to make the most of it. It doesn’t follow that invasion is guaranteed, but it seems a fairly safe inference that the zhongnanhai wants invasion on the table.

At least according to the page you linked, the Pen has a caveat of “Sold Separately” so I’m inclined to think the article is correct or the Microsoft page needs better copy?

Perhaps they mean “also available separately”.

> But the optical chip’s efficiency is compelling. “The game here is that we lowered the energy cost 1,000 times,” Chen said.

The second part of that paragraph is even more important. The optical equivalent is actually ~3x more efficient than the electronical version. With 300x HITOPs you would only consume 300 energy instead of the 1000 energy of the Nvidia version.

Simplified, that means 3x longer battery life, or 3x less heat, or 3x lower energy bill.
Call that the way you please, it's also called “concrete cancer”, and I find the expression much more apt.
Meh I don’t (they’re clearly imperfect) but I’m more wondering if we’re leaving lots of efficiency on the table in approaches to modeling the world.

I switched to full time gaming on Linux (Arch) about six months ago. It is very good, and improving, though it will still often require tinkering (ProtonDB is very good for user reports). And certain games, like those with "kernel anti-cheat", probably won't work at all, indefinitely.

I can say that if you stick to Steam Deck Verified games, you will have very few problems; and if you enable compatibility (Proton) for non-Verified games, then almost every game will work, possibly with some tinkering.

I'm less familiar with non-Steam games, though I know Proton is not intended to be used outside of Steam. I guess that gaming outside of Steam would require more tinkering.

Almost everything wrong with modern web UIs is arguably down to the contradiction of designing for both web and mobile at the same time. These two paradigms are not compatible. If you try to build a responsive UI that caters to both, you'll throw one or more of the groups under the bus. If you want to do both paradigms justice, you need two separate designs altogether.

Low density UIs specifically happen when you attempt to present the amount of information a 7" screen can display onto a 27" screen.

If you're building an app that people use for work and open every day, you should make it dense. People want to get work done, fast. They don't care about how pretty it is.

Otherwise, you should make it sparse.

> while you're waiting for results, how many airlines they're comparing on your behalf.

Of course as someone in computers I know that the computer can do all of the actually work faster than my screen can refresh. Even accounting for network latency, all the work is done in less than 1 second - everything else is either inefficient code, or intentional delays to make the problem seem harder than it really is. Both of them are things that anyone with computer training should object to.
My favorite part about this tax is that it was passed in the same year that the state had a budget surplus and actually cut checks to residents because of it.

I argued Scarlett Johansson's natural voice is iconic and unique and it is not apparent in the Sky voice. The "new" intoned voice of Sky 4o is receiving most claims of likeness ripoff but this intoning part is not unique to ScarJo either since the Her production already had a version of it with the other VA. I doubt scarlett will suggest she was playing herself without creative direction from Her team.

Are you arguing that Her performance is not the resembling factor here but simply the natural voice of ScarJo at rest, disregarding Her?
My prediction of municipal broadband is that someone down the line is going to submit a FOIA request for their neighbor's internet history and the municipality will accidentally fulfill the request in violation of the law. Or leak many millions' of peoples' internet history.

Let's say, for example, a city hall member is on municipal WiFi on their personal phone while in-session. Instead of going through the difficulty of getting them to hand over their phone to a FOIA officer to search for responsive documents, why not just submit the FOIA to the municipal IT department and get the logs that way?

Is there a good reason why this category of concern shouldn't actually be be a concern?

edit: yes ISPs sell your data. that's a separate concern outside of this.
I'm not gloating. I'm just enjoying the spectacle.

One second of weightlessness: the extra force you were pushing against launches you up, you lose footing and tumble.
