Liability is a major reason but it's also a security concern.

Is someone up to no good? Casing a location to plan a robbery/kidnapping/theft/vandalism/squatting/arson (or any of these in progress but not yet committed or committed but not provably by the tresspasser)? It's difficult to impossible to know because you can't just determine intent.

But if their mere pretense in a location is prohibited that is easy to determine and prosecute.

It's very important for security sake to be able to create bright lines that bad actors need to cross and which good parties are unlikely to cross accidentally so that response can have a high accuracy.

People passing through may also litter, set fires, scare off wild life or travel to a space where they are allowed to hunt (and then kill wildlife that crosses properties lines, or inadvertently shoot bullets or arrows into space you're using).

The need to immediately paint one party or the other as in the wrong in a dispute can make it hard to see that in many cases all parties have worthwhile concerns and that there aren't easy answers.

What's most disgusting is the tone and wording of the e-mail linked in the Reddit post. It reads like they're outright delighted to be breaking your 90-dollar piece of hardware. Not even a fake apology. Tech bros are getting more and more brazen.

That email would be fine if they were just discontinuing a feature of their ongoing service - it's disappointing, but you got value out of it while you were paying for it and now we're stopping and won't charge you any further.

But this is a stand-alone piece of hardware that they sold without an explicit expiry date, in a product category (car audio) that generally lasts decades (as they are solid-state devices with no moving parts) and now they're outright making it useless 2 years later without any refunds.
I was surprised too, a quick search produced something a bit different.

I was diagnosed earlier this year (at 33), ended up being prescribed Methylphendiate and after a months weeks it made me better understand what the issue is with my brain. Especially after skipping a dose for a few days to remember what my baseline used to be.

The way I've always described my thought process is that it's like every thought is a fish in a barrel and all I have are my hands; I have to reach down to grab the specific thought I want to focus on and often it slips through my grasp. Medication slows down the fish and makes it so I can hold onto it. I still have to make an effort to grab the 'right' fish but I'm not fighting with myself.

Prior to medication I had various coping strategies I'd employ. Mainly things like having multiple rolling things going on at once, but I was also a severe fidgeter. During college I was a stressed anxious mess so I figured that it was just a natural response to that sort of thing, but as I settled into my 30s and became far more stable with no stressors or contributors to anxiety my issues with ADHD became a lot worse.

The Danger of Superhuman AI Is Not What You Think
I feel you. Some of my hobbies are far more intellectually demanding that anything work throws at me. I wish it was the opposite -- it sucks to feel like I need to exercise my brain in the evenings when my best working hours are when I am stuck staring at a boring Grafana page. Having a "after work is relaxation time" period again would be nice.
Many years ago when I was working IT for a public school district, I was unpacking a large number of identical HP PCs from cardboard boxes. I noticed that a large portion (it must have been half or more) of the boxes had the exact same type of spider in a nearly identical web in the exact same spot in the cardboard box. It was a small cardboard cubby taped onto the inside of the large exterior box, for storing a power cord and other small accessories. It must have been just the right shape and size, and accessible in just the right way, that this type of spider absolutely loved it.

Not to mention the long term major health risks.

It sucks because alcohol seems to unlock a part of my brain in a way that no other drugs can. But the half life is SO short, and you have to keep redosing. And then you inevitably pay for it the next day. I can avoid hangovers pretty well, but even then, my mood is noticeably impacted for at least one or two days after drinking. Even just the shitty sleep you get after a few drinks makes it a hard sell these days...but at the same time, the occasional night drinking helps me feel things I'm not able to otherwise. Ugh. I'm trying to keep it to just a couple nights a month.
It even assumes the opposite, since they asked SJ after recording the original voice.
> “Reasonable” does a lot of work throughout the entire legal system.

Yes, but here it’s not being invoked in the sense of “would a reasonable person believe based on this evidence that the facts which would violate the actual law exist” but “would a ‘reasonable’ person believe the law is what the law, indisputably, actually is”.

It’s being invoked to question the reality of the law itself, based on its subjective undesirability to the speaker.
I live in a country where weed is still illegal. I'm not a user, but I used it heavily in my teens (which I don't recommend). In principle I'm all for legalisation - get the profits out of the hands of criminal gangs and into legitimate taxable enterprise.

In practice I have heard on podcasts based in places like Washington and California where hosts say they almost can't leave their home without being hit in the face with the stink of weed. I absolutely hate the smell of weed smoke. This is the one practical hitch in my mind. I wish that we could rely on pot smokers to be a bit more respectful to people who aren't.
I'd like to reframe this a bit (Porter co-founder btw). The way we see it, the core value of many PaaS solutions is the reduction of DevOps overhead by allowing teams to focus engineering resources on product and not generic infra maintenance tasks.

Most of our existing users are companies that are already using Porter in their own AWS/GCP/Azure because they want to reduce time spent on cloud management as they continue to grow. Companies like Heroku exclusively provide this service in a hosted cloud environment where they also resell the underlying infrastructure to you (similar to Porter Cloud), but we want to be flexible in delivering the same value on any cloud provider.

If we're doing our job, we will continue to automate enough generic DevOps work where Porter is delivering value even as you scale in your own cloud. We have a good number of late-stage startups (and even some public companies) that have DevOps teams in place using us precisely this way to handle core parts of their infra and application lifecycle management.

Porter Cloud is intended as a way to "get off the ground," but our staying value lies in continuing to reduce the same DevOps overhead even once you're running in your own cloud account

> It's fine to hire a voice actor who sounds like someone else.

Not necessarily, when you're hiring them because they like someone else—especially someone else who has said that they don't want to work with you. OpenAI took enough steps to show they wanted someone who sounded like SJ.

> Surely it's OK to hire an English actor who sounds a lot like him, so long as I don't use Sir Patrick's name in the advertising.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co. and also Tom Waits vs. Frito-Lay.

Or tried to hire SJ repeatedly, even as late as 2 days before the launch.
The whole drama was pretty silly, and the fact that everyone got upset that a feature that is inactive by default, consumes no processing power, memory or anything else and bullied the author of the open-source program should make everyone unhappy.

This is why open-source maintainers burn out and we can't have nice things. Honestly, people, please consider the human on the other side of the toxic discourse.
I don't know which hype is worse, AI or WebAssembly on the server.
It was never really a case of "AI shoved down our throats" anyways. People just assumed it was and got their pitchforks and torches out. The feature was always opt-in. I'm sorry gnachman had to endure this nonsense.

In this case, Ligocki's presentation of the proofs in the blog post is really more rigorous than anything that went on in the Discord server. There's not some golden Truth in there that's being imperfectly mediated; it's just about the attribution. You might have more of a point for results originating from programmatic searches, but that's why the programs are all published outside of Discord, so their output can be replicated.
>"Reasonable" does a lot of work throughout the entire legal system.

Yet it never becomes anywhere near the significant fulcrum you made it out to be here, filtering between the laws you think are good and the laws you think are bad. Further, you seem to mistake attorneys with legislators. I'd be surprised if a reasonable person thinks it is okay to profit off the likeness of others without their permission. But I guess you don't think that's reasonable. What a valuable conversation we're having.
Probably the politically correct move given current tech politics
That makes sense but why is this shit glued to the screen? Every other phone has the camera, proximity sensor and whatever installed in the main body or at least makes it trivial to take off from the old screen and replace in a new one.

Also... why is there any need for the FaceID sensor to be paired? It's two LEDs illuminating the face from different angles in infrared so the camera can create a depth map. None of that needs a secure connection.
Internet stability is not threatened by the loss of a single root server, it’s not even a blip on the radar. In fact most people wouldn’t even notice if they all went down for a few minutes, DNS operators do not actually use these servers directly. You can even run your own if you are crazy enough.

Everyone likes to meme on DNS but it’s literally designed to make these servers as unimportant as possible. It’s a really well designed system that will probably be around as long as humans exist.
I don't think they do. These formats are based on EBML, see the RFC link in my previous comment. That VINT encoding is not LEB128, it's better.

> I have two goals in this change:
To allow developers in restrictive but technically incompetent organizations to continue to use iTerm2. That is, they disallow anything that could potentially exfiltrate data, but don't have their act together enough to implement MDM.
So that people who hate AI can feel at ease that no AI will happen by accident without having to dig into the weeds of the implementation.

Yes, I can see a plausible argument that a character is so intertwined with a well-known real-life persona that a company can't replicate a character without borrowing some of the persona's value. One might also make the case that the actor developed so much depth in an initially thin character that they deserve more credit than just acting the part.

I don't personally subscribe to the notion that the recent legal invention of intellectual property is a moral right. Capitalism has been doing just fine as a productivity motivator. We don't need to capitalize expression of ideas, let alone pure ideas. I accept the tradeoff of the temporary monopolies of copyright and patent, and I appreciate that trademark and trade secrets disincentivize bad behavior. But I have no desire to try to find new boxes to store new kinds of intellectual property, like Scarlett Johansson's right to monopolize performances of a character in an app that remind people of her performance of a character in a movie. Such a kind of property right is not necessary.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly why TFA was posted—apparently you can, in fact, protect a voice under California law. Of the $2.6 million in damages awarded in TFA $2 million were for "voice misappropriation".

> I've also found that I get better results when I take my ADHD medication with protein, and about an hour before any caffeine intake. YMMV.

Regarding eating protein, lisdexamfetamine is basically just dexamfetamine bound to an amino acid. Your liver has to break the amino acid and dexamfetamine apart before the dexamfetamine is bioactive. That's basically how the time-release works; your liver can only break them apart so fast, resulting in a steady stream of dexamfetamine. It's part of why doctors like it, because opening the capsule and snorting it does basically nothing.

Eating protein occupies part of your liver's processing abilities, which should result in a "smoother" come up.

> I worry about this too. I've been on 30mg Lisdexamfetamine for about two years and haven't felt a need to up my dose. But if I skip a day it hits hard. I don't know whether it's worse than before I started medicating or if it's just that my bar for mental function has been raised.

I don't take mine on the weekend, generally. I find it helps keep me grounded in terms of my capabilities on vs off the meds, as well as giving me some non-amphetamine-d time to work through emotions. The meds make me almost too focused, and I'll end up neglecting how I'm feeling to plow through another hour of coding.

I also occasionally get worried about my medication, my tolerance and generally the effect it has on me. I typically ask my doctor to switch me to a non-stimulant medication. Atomoxetine is what I usually get, which is a norepinephrine modulator rather than an amphetamine. I don't find it as helpful, but it's good enough to keep me afloat at work for a month and it lacks the "speed" feeling amphetamines can have.
Boot time is the number one factor in your success with auto-scaling. The smaller your boot time, the smaller your prediction window needs to be. Ex. If your boot time is five minutes, you need to predict what your traffic will be in five minutes, but if you can boot in 20 seconds, you only need to predict 20 seconds ahead. By definition your predictions will be more accurate the smaller the window is.

But! Autoscaling serves two purposes. One is to address load spikes. The other is to reduce costs with scaling down. What this solution does is trade off some of the cost savings by prewarming the EBS volumes and then paying for them.

This feels like a reasonable tradeoff if you can justify the cost with better auto-scaling.

And if you're not autoscaling, it's still worth the cost if the trade off is having your engineers wait around for instance boots.

#1 is fine assuming such a crime was committed. But for as much as people assume this to be true, actually looking at the evidence it doesn't seem like it.

I think you're right. I want to find experts in each field who can help me create a 'most important papers' section that people like me (who don't know anything) can go to to understand the most important and 'hottest' ideas and see the discussion around them.
Are you saying the actual anachronism is that artists are even associated with credibility, integrity, or authenticity to sell out in the first place? If so, I guess that's a more precise way of saying why selling out isn't a thing anymore.

Personally, I think it's more a change in how artists view themselves in relation to the market—and how audiences view them as well—and that artists can still stay true to that understanding and have it be a kind of ethos... just a very different one than we had when I formed my opinions on music.

What I'm saying is, artists can still perform acts of betrayal, and lose their credibility to their audience. So, they must have some to lose it. It's more that licensing their music is not one of those acts anymore.
I have never had confidence in Spotify's roadmap.

You should also be able to get babble if you set temperature very high and that is to be expected.

Also temp 2.0 will do that with most prompts.
Here, I have to take word of the author that the consequence was serious enough.

If I put temperature at 2 and prompt "babble to me about some nonsense" it also goes into different symbols languages and errors out. But that is expected behaviour with temp 2.
GigCityElixir and NervesConf 2024 Report
My own thought is - every artist in history has taken inspiration from previous artists. The British voice actor in the above example surely studied greats in his field like Sir Patrick. We don't typically mind that. Where I think the line is between standing on the shoulders of giants and devaluing someone else's art is how well digested, for lack of a better term, the inspiration has been. Is the later artist breaking the components out, examining each, and assembling them with the insights they gained? Or are they seeking to resemble the end result as much as possible? I think that separates the cheap hack from the person who 'steals like an artist'

The EU said "hey guys, make up your mind on a standard" to the industry at large, which led to the consolidation to Mini-USB and, later on, Micro-USB, and as Apple hadn't even moved an inch towards standardization and USB-C was validated enough to be supporting literally everything, the EU said "okay, Apple doesn't want to listen, so we bring down the hammer".
