False. Natural philosophy of Aristotle et al., a precursor to both modern physics and Abrahamic religions[0], does not[1] assume materialism in the slightest.

I think it really depends. 100% onsite is rare now, there is a lot of hybrid, and some company give a lot of leeway. Theoretically i should be 40% onsite, pragmatically i'm 10%, and the rest of my team is 10 to 20% onsite, to give you an example. I also know a company were you will be onsite 100% for the first years, but after that, you can go work from wherever you want (I know they had people in Brasil, India, Japan, China, malasia all with a French salary as if they were onsite)

iTerm, since they don't do that. Just keep it disabled.

Unless you consider any terminal that lets you make network calls to OpenAI = OpenAI snooping around.
My TC is 200k EUR and I'm a senior engineer with 7 YOE. I didn't find it particularly difficult to negotiate, I sent them my old offer letter and told them how much I thought was fair. They also included a full white-glove relocation of my family and house overseas which was nice.

For talented engineers, it's definitely possible!

> Most of the standard tools which come with the version control system itself will display the message as plain text, without even re-wrapping the lines.

Therefore you should use better tools and push for improvements in the standard instead of wasting time worrying about such text luxuries as line wrapping

The thing is, one-way improvement is possible by using better tools, but if you force wrapping with newlines than good tools won't be able to fix it

I have been using this for a couple of months now and I no longer get yanked out of a flow state when I have lots of windows open. Window management has truly faded into the background, which wasn't the case for me with Sway/i3wm before now. So I'm quite pleased.

> Realpolitik is a defense.

Outside of a courtroom, and ignoring all international law and externalities, sure. Within the Hague, or the parts of the world where international justice is respected, not so much.

> the court of the carrier strike group is superior to the court of the ICC.

Until your 10 carrier strike group gets fucked up by Yemeni drones, or Iranian swarms. Or no country wants to trade with you any more, because you can't be trusted and their citizens are furious.

Or until China utterly dominates you economically and geopolitically, because they invested in growth instead of carrier groups. Or until you're stretched too thin on too many fronts and no one wants to help any more, or any of the other unintended (possibly world-ending) consequences of our wilful and belligerent disrespect of long established international law.

... But the claim that "Biden actually saved lots of Palestinians from dying" because of the "realpolitik" of the situation is silly. The claim that Kissinger actually saved lives by coordinating assassinations so that South America didn't need to be bombed into submission would be farcical, and so is this.
Or, you know, we could actually build approachable tools, instead of using AI to paper over the UX shortcomings of programs from the 80's...

Python is widely used in various applications as a flexible and powerful programming language. One of the key features of this language is the ability to easily use different data types. Understanding and using data types correctly in Python is essential for effective and error-free coding.

A lot of the comments mention the AI inclusion from an LLM-is-everywhere point of view. I'm also a little confused about why behaviour like that is in a terminal rather than a shell?

To my mind I just want the terminal to render text and handle input, and then it's my shell's job to define behaviour of commands etc.

I find that a super helpful distinction- what if you like iterm but want a different shell like fish or xonsh? How does the LLM integrate there? Is it still gonna spit out zsh commands?

I'm not an apple user, so maybe I'm missing something abouf iterm?
I'm really disappointed that iTerm2 is adding AI gimmicks :/ Last place I want that crap integrated is in the terminal. Next disappointment is that there's no obvious checkbox for disabling it.
>Wheel of Fortune hostess Vanna White had established herself as a TV personality, and consequently appeared as a spokesperson for advertisers. Samsung produced a television commercial advertising its VCRs, showing a robot wearing a dress and with other similarities to White standing beside a Wheel of Fortune game board. Samsung, in their own internal documents, called this the "Vanna White ad". White sued Samsung for violations of California Civil Code section 3344, California common law right of publicity, and the federal Lanham Act. The United States District Court for the Southern District of California granted summary judgment against White on all counts, and White appealed.

>The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court, finding that White had a cause of action based on the value of her image, and that Samsung had appropriated this image. Samsung's assertion that this was a parody was found to be unavailing, as the intent of the ad was not to make fun of White's characteristics, but to sell VCRs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_v._Samsung_Electronics_A....

Maybe it depends on which court will handle the case, but OpenAI's core intent isn't parody, but rather to use someone's likeness as a way to make money.

(I am not a lawyer)
You need to make a distinction between positive (what-is) claims and normative (what-ought) claims. When you say realpolitik is a "defence", whether or not it is actually used as a "defence" in reality is disconnected on the validity of that position as a moral fact.

It's like an imaginary (horribly made) club sandwich!

From the bottom up, there's a layer of bread, then a layer of ham, then another layer of bread, then a layer of cheese, then the top piece of bread. The ham and cheese are your conductive layers, one carrying current the other the ground.

When you first make the sandwich, everything is good because the ham and cheese are not touching each other. However, when you cut it in half, the bread, ham and cheese all smoosh together at the cut point and the ham and cheese electrically short out. Now, if you are super careful, you can probably go in with a super sharp knife, cut it again very carefully, and make it so the ham and cheese don't actually ever touch.

Apple (or whoever) purposely put a cut in the sandwich knowing the ham and cheese would touch, making the sandwich inedible. This YouTuber comes along with a really sharp knife and cuts the sandwich again making sure the ham and cheese never touch.

It just so happens when Apple made the cut, they didn't cut anything important, other than "smooshing" the layers (ie: they didn't cut through any traces or capacitors, etc).
I've been using wezterm for a long time now, feels very light but very powerful and great customizability.
> If you had a warrant from another state, the local cops would need a pretty good reason to bother actually looking for you.

Often goes slightly further than this. The state issuing the warrant must pay “transport fees” to the state doing the arresting. The arresting state calls the warrant state to see if their transport fees will be authorized. Most of the time, those fees are not authorized by the issuing state. So the suspect is let go, if the police interaction wasn’t otherwise justified in an arrest.

The reasons for why transport fees are generally declined vary, but I’d imagine that as long as the suspect stays out of the issuing state, they can’t commit more crime in that state, so the outstanding warrant is itself an effective deterrent against crime in the issuing state…the suspect generally will avoid returning. Also jails/prisons are overcrowded, dockets are overflowing, etc.

But generally any police interaction which shows a valid warrant in another state, the “local police” will by default attempt an arrest. It’s not “unimportant” to them. Just they can’t do anything with the suspect if they arrest them without approved transport fees so there’s simply no point in completing the arrest.

I learned all this just last week by picking up a homeless fugitive hitchiking along the interstate. But he’d had enough interactions with police in various states and seemed otherwise intelligent enough to be a reliable narrator on the matter.

The trajectory of the last French air carriers - the Foch and the Clémenceau - is a good illustration of the mess it can be, even for former military flagships.

Those military ships are of course full of asbestos - more than usual - and heavy metals.

The Clémenceau was supposed to be dismantled in Spain, but when the marine nationale saw it being towed to Turkey, they cancelled the contract and got it back.

Then another consortium offered to dismantle it in Alang but with special precautions. The boat left, was blocked by NGOs, was blocked by Egypt when it tried to cross Suez, then India refused to accept it. It came back to France after rounding all of Africa.

It was eventually dismantled in the UK, after a few more protests (the river Tess had to be deepened, and the hull had to be cleaned up of any invasive organism)

https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9mant%C3%A8lement_du_p...

The Foch was sold to Brazil, and after much of the same drama, was eventually sunk in the Atlantic.

TL;DR: This question had already been settled in 2001 [3]:

The court determined that Midler should be compensated for the misappropriation of her voice, holding that, when "a distinctive voice of a professional singer is widely known and is deliberately imitated in order to sell a product, the sellers have appropriated what is not theirs and have committed a tort in California."

I hope there's going to be no further hypotheticals after this.

>They're doing something with a voice that some claim sounds like hers.

Yes, that's what a likeness is.

If you start using your own paintings of Taylor Swift in a product without her permission, you'll run afoul of the law, even though your painting is obviously not the actual Taylor Swift, and you painted it from memory.

>But if it isn't, then it is more like selling a figurine called Sally that happens to look a lot like Taylor Swift. Sally has a right to exist even if she happens to look like Taylor Swift.

Sally has a right to exist, not the right to be distributed, sold, and otherwise used for commercial gain without Taylor Swift's permission.

California Civil Code Section 3344(a) states:

Any person who knowingly uses another’s name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness, in any manner, on or in products, merchandise, or goods, or for purposes of advertising or selling, or soliciting purchases of, products, merchandise, goods or services, without such person’s prior consent, or, in the case of a minor, the prior consent of his parent or legal guardian, shall be liable for any damages sustained by the person or persons injured as a result thereof.

Realistically for using Windows there will be three scenarios:

1) You like all of this "AI" "stuff" and you use the newest version of the Windows Operating System.

2) You just want an Operating System that works so you continue to use Windows 10.

3) You use Windows within a corporate environment where the Security and IT teams neuter it with Domain settings to disable most of these "AI" "features".
I left Windows for Linux around when Win 10 came out. What prompted was the whole shenanigans to remove features I didn’t want and frustration with the settings (I like to change stuff every once in a while). I throw myself in the world of Arch, i3wm, and ricing. I’m using macOS now, but it’s quite nice to know there’s an haven out there once the abuse is too much.
This article is terrible.

There is a lot of nonsense and drama about all of this, but the voice is clearly not Scarlet, even though they were clearly trying to get someone to sound like her. So much drama over nothing.

This isn't it. The issue is the capacity doesn't exist. Vietnam was in a state of war from 1939-1990, and infrastructure is creaky.

Most of the infra that exists now was built in the last 15 years by private players, and private players are hesitant to put money in right now due to the game of thrones and VN's China influenced Zero-Covid policy a couple years ago.
Don’t be like that. Even as it is, iTerm is the furthest thing from Warp. The ai api is upto you to hook up using your own provider key, you don’t have to use to and everything else remains the same. And it’s reasonable to assume they chose the OpenAI rn because it has become the unofficial defacto standard, should a universal one emerge I’m fairly confident iTerm would use that. iTerm’s been around long enough and deserves some good will no?

It really is incredible how something as small and simple as this gives such incredible bad vibes. This is like early 2010s facebook vibes. It's just... if they're going to steal her voice, what would they do to yours?

But it also points to a wider problem in OpenAI's existence. They're built on theft. If you wrote something on the internet in the last 20 years, they've stolen it. They've stolen it, they're put it into their little magic box and now they want to sell it back to you. OpenAI is amazing technology, and once the equity of the company is redistributed back to the content owners who actually provided the value, it'll be great to see what they can do from there.

Paolo Bacigalupi’s novel “Ship Breaker” deserves a mention here. It’s set in Paolo’s dystopian solarpunk universe, where old tankers are cut up to extract the last tons of fossil fuels from their hold, and it really emphasises how dangerous and unrewarding of a job it is.

It is reasonably common in the voicing part of the acting industry, when a famous name turns you down, that you instead turn to a voice imitator to give a performance that's reminiscent of a number of factors (kind of sounding like this other person, for example).

This way, legally you're in the clear, because you didn't use the voice of X. Not on any occasion did you use the voice of X. You even paid a voicer to make your recordings, and it's their voice.

Morally, it can be - and probably is - a different matter.

With how windy the whole Netherlands is I'd have expected it to be doing much better in wind power generation, seems like the oil lobby from Shell is eating the whole country's energy future...

Edit: quite unexpected to get downvotes, is it the mention of Shell causing some issue? Because I believe it's a big reason for a massive off-shore wind potential to go untapped until around 2020.
> Well, West should stop dumping their garbage to the rest of the world.

Actually the export of ships to be wrecked in Asia already is banned under EU law and international treaties - and sometimes, even company owners can and do land in jail for violating them, as it happened to Georg Eide [1].

The difficulty lies in the fact that many ships aren't registered in the EU countries, but in small countries like Antigua who don't have any incentive to help out European countries enforce their laws, and by many ships being legally hidden between layers of shell companies. It can go as far as there being a dedicated LLC in yet another tax haven per ship, and once the ship is to be wrecked, it isn't the ship itself that's being sold for wrecking (because that would be openly illegal and easy to catch and prove for authorities), but the LLC is being sold, and the lax attitude towards audit and public records requirements in the tax havens makes it very difficult to prove illegal intent.
