If you say "yes we can" as your corporate announcement of that person who sounds like Obama, and one of your employees (or rather ex-executives) says "the secret ingredient in AGI is Obama", it actually can be illegal. The main issue in NIL rights (as with trademarks) isn't similarity - it's brand confusion.
The way you write it makes it sound very complicated, but in this situation, I would definitely think "we better be really careful about who we hire here in order to avoid people making the connection with the movie voice, unless we can actually get Scarlett Johansson to do the voice", and that thought process would take less than 5 seconds.

And it is not unusual at all for there to be things that everyone knows should not be written down, but either discussed only in person, or left implicit. There is usually a few slip ups though, which would come out in discovery.

> "possibility of unconscious bias when selecting among auditions"

I think "conscious but not stated to the actress" is the more likely explanation, that is not inconsistent with this reporting.

For what it's worth, if this does go to court (which I doubt), and there is discovery and depositions, and they don't find any documentation, or get any statements suggesting that this was indeed understood to be the goal, then I would be a lot more convinced.

But I think it's a giant stretch to have the base case be that nobody thought of this and they were all shocked, shocked! that people made this connection after they released it.

When you're retired, and don't need the funding, there are plenty of under- or un-funded research projects that can be done. The right professor would likely be open to collaboration/guiding work like this, particularly if your PhD augments the skill set of their group/lab. You don't need them necessarily, but it might help to bring you up to speed with publishing (assuming that's your goal - and if you're doing research, I think it should be. You want the work to persist after you if possible). Proposer and funders are pretty good at figuring out good use of limited resources, but they just can't fund everything and there are many un-turned stones.

> Are you saying it would result in a better user experience when I only use host1 which is behind the CDN and add no-cache headers to the request that can't be cached?

Yes, because that way you can leverage the CDN to defend against DDoS issues, and you can firewall the origin server itself so only the CDN is allowed to communicate with it, but no one else.

Oh! That's the argument, "it feels weird".

Yes, it may do. I wonder what that feeling means. All this stuff about "Mary" doesn't clarify the source of the feeling. Often a weird feeling points to a misconception.

I think language could technically fully describe the experience, but it would be an unimaginable language, and that's why the idea feels weird: it's too difficult to imagine. Also as you say a pre-verbal child can get the idea just by seeing the color (though we might speculate that the inner significance and feeling of red evolves over a lifetime). So conveying it in language is a dumb-ass way to go about conveying it.

So various experiences convey complex ideas. How? We don't absorb ideas directly from the world through our pores and palps, we create them through interaction with an existing body of ideas in our minds. How much of that is gifted to us in DNA, a kind of natural set of default ideas about the world? IDK, some, like how the brain contains a body map and the eye does movement detection (which is repurposed as edge detection via a kludge involving tiny eye movements). The brain anticipate salient features of the world being a certain way, like residing in a monkey-shaped creature on a surface with gravity where objects have edges and move around. But some ideas are conveyed, through culture, non-verbally. This may include a lot of the early significance and feeling of seeing that something is red. What is that thing? Perhaps a toy, a shoe, a flower? It's probably a special thing requesting focus, anyway, so the cultural environment is already telling you things about it, and people around you will probably encourage your focussing on it, and that's how communication of the feeling of red begins, I reckon.
Gotta be pretty low odds that an OnStar module breaks while someone is in a remote location, leaving them stranded - then they make it back, diagnose the issue, take the manufacturer to court, the court finds the manufacturer guilty, and the punishment is substantial enough to outweigh the benefit of requiring the module in the first place.

Even if you could hold the manufacturers liable, I'm guessing most of them would still take that risk.
Is it really?

For example, I opened up https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/firew... as a random source file in the Linux kernel, and I didn't see a single line where wraparound would be correct behavior.

There are definitely cases where wraparound behavior is correct. There are also cases hard errors on overflow isn't desirable (say, statistics counters), but it's still hard to call wraparound the correct behavior (e.g., saturation would probably work better for statistics than wraparound). There are also cases where you could probably prove that overflow can't happen. But if you made the default behavior a squawk that wraparound occurred, and instead made developers annotate all the cases where that was desirable to silence the squawk, even in the entire Linux kernel, I'd suspect you'd end up with fewer than 1000 places.

This is sort of the point of the exercise--wraparound behavior is often what you want when you think about overflow, but you actually spend so much of your time not thinking about it that you miss how frequently wraparound behavior isn't what you wanted.

As someone working on a team with a large monorepo with strict type requirements, I will say my life is a lot easier with types than without. Types are documentation plain and simple, they require devs to state their intentions in code which is extremely valuable for other devs on the project.
Imho the real problem that will be harder to reverse on is the city planning. Car-oriented cities will be intrinsically far more difficult to green than urban density.

"Through this case study, the author explores how a large number of participants inside an organization will willingly participate in organizational acts that are

Truly unsettling. Everyday Americans secretly exploited by their own government. If this were punishment for a crime, it would be unconstitutional due to being cruel, inhumane, and without due process. But it wasn't punishment for anything, the government just attacked them.

France did what!? France's electricity mainly comes from nuclear, oil and gaz. Solar is nowhere sizeable compared to these three yet. Oil is fossil.
It isn't just late stage capitalism. Robber barons became a glaring issue with capitalism very early on. People eventually realized that it took regulation and government intervention to correct for that, but the wealthy who wanted to keep peasants doing all the work in their fiefdoms have spent a very long time demonizing and weakening the kinds of government interventions that could keep them in check.

They've managed to con a huge number of people into agreeing that they should have unchecked power and that government (that thing 'we the people' have direct influence on) is the real problem. It's shocking to me how many people fell for it and would rather be ruled over by corporations than government even through they don't get any kind of vote for who their corporate masters are, while we can (ostensibly) vote for our government officials and vote them out if they displease us, replacing them with someone more aligned with our interest.

Increasingly government is either bribed into letting corporations do whatever they want, sabotaged by regulatory capture, or stripped of their power by the people who have either been suckered into voting against their own interests or who fantasize about one day being able to carve out their own fiefdoms full of peasants they can chain and exploit

You 100% own all Python code that you download from Pyoneer. Sorry for the lack of clarity here!

You're welcome to:
1. Edit it to fix up places where it can't translate fully.
2. Send it to your colleagues and tell them you wrote it (although... for your own personal morals... maybe don't :) )
3. Upload it to your companies Github
4. Whatever the hell else you want

To be very clear: this is your code!

The code we generate currently has no dependencies on anything other than pandas, numpy, the Python core library, and the Excel file you uploaded in the first place. This might change as we try and support more Excel features (and so need to do some pivot table mocking), but we're not aiming to lock folks in!

P.S. If you do anything particularly interesting with the code you generate... tell me about it. nate @ sagacollab.com. I'd love to hear
P.P.S. I'll update the language on this ASAP.
What I have is this:

The Honda factory service manual for my 2007 Odyssey touches on these operations, including diagnosing issues. It does not have an ISBN number that I can find.

These systems (multi-zone HVAC, navigation) seem to have been introduced in MY 2004, remaining mostly unchanged until MY 2008 when (at least) the navigation was facelifted and the rear HVAC zone became more autonomous.

Anyway, within volume 2 of that manual is this passage:

i-Dual Zone and i-Tri Zone Climate Control system (With navigation system)
The "i-Dual zone" climate control system automatically controls the temperature and the vent mode of the air direction
to the driver's and passenger's side, depending on the angle of the sun, and the direction of the vehicle. It calculates
information such as date, time, longitude, and latitude from the navigation system, as well as the radiant strength of the
sun from the sunlight sensor, to determine the appropriate mode position and temperature to be directed to each side.
The "i-Tri zone" climate control system is an addition of the automatic controls with the temperature and the vent mode
of the air direction to the rear section to the "i-Dual zone" climate control system.

...and if I'd read something like that in 2004 (or in 2007), I simply wouldn't have believed it. Even now in 2024 it seems either a bit far-fetched or blatantly obvious, with very little middle-ground -- especially for a vehicle that can't even turn its own headlights on and off or adjust dash lighting intensity based on apparent daylight conditions (as Chevy and BMW were variously doing over a decade prior).

(Other parts of the Honda manual describe the in-car temperature sensor.)
I'm just following the logic in the original comment. To wit:

All of that is (barely, probably) not illegal, and because it is not illegal, it therefore is normal, perfectly reasonable, and not in any way wrong. The law wasn't broken, therefore nothing untoward happened.

If they managed to touch their toe over the line of illegal, then it was fraud and bad and they're criminals who should be prosecuted. But since what they did might be barely not quite fraud, it's perfectly normal and acceptable, right?

I think this is exciting news. Scientifically, there is a clear consensus that marijuana is far less harmful to human health than most illegal drugs. It is also less dangerous than legal, highly addictive substances like alcohol and tobacco. The health effects of marijuana, compared to other recreational substances, depend on frequency of use, potency, dosage, and the age of the user. For healthy adults, occasional moderate use is virtually, if not completely, harmless. Marijuana primarily makes people feel pleasant and mellow, whereas alcohol can lead some drinkers to cause trouble in bars, commit violence at home, or drive dangerously.
I suspect the current contents of a solar system is a poor proxy for everything that’s been ejected from it. Pluto is 0.0006 light-years from the sun, there’s a great deal of space between stars we don’t know that much about.

Further we dramatically underestimated the number of expo planets for decades. Quite reasonably we don’t put a lot of weight on stuff we can’t detect.
Why would you get an LLM to transpile the formula for you? There are already libraries that attempt to do this. Wouldn't your time be better served in expanding these libraries to overcome deficiencies? I don't get why you would throw away all the work done in this space and just offload it to an LLM. It's a technical problem. Imagine if ditched all transpilers and gave it to an LLM and said "good luck!"

Hey, thanks for the reply!

My next question would be how did Mito go?

What MMR did you get to?

How strong was the PMF?, 4 years seems like a long time to test this product, and I'm not sure if the overall market for this is too small. Is it the trap of dogfooding (building the thing you wish you had) without sizing the market?

Mito site says: Trusted by dozens of fortune 500 companies, how penetrated is that really? Is it one dev in each company on the free tier or entire departments/teams using this on the $150/month/user plan?

I built something similar (excel / python space ) but it was really just one feature as part of a larger platform, not something I would build a company around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaebol

A chaebol (UK: /ˈtʃeɪbəl, ˈtʃeɪbɒl/ CHAY-bəl, CHAY-bol, US: /ˈtʃeɪboʊl, ˈdʒɛbəl/ CHAY-bohl, JEB-əl;[3] Korean: 재벌 [tɕɛbʌɭ] ⓘ, lit. 'rich family' or 'financial clique') is a large industrial South Korean conglomerate run and controlled by an individual or family. A chaebol often consists of multiple diversified affiliates, controlled by a person or group. Several dozen large South Korean family-controlled corporate groups fall under this definition. The term first appeared in English text in 1972.

The intensity and extent of market concentration became evident as 80% of the country's GDP is derived from chaebols. The largest of the group, Samsung, exports 20% of South Korea's goods and services alone. Although no longer financially supported by the government, these firms have attained economies of scale on such a massive level that it is extremely difficult for a startup or small or medium enterprise (SME) to surmount the high barriers to entry.

And now we are completely drowning in VTubers, who use software like Live2d that analyzes a webcam image and uses it to control the motions of a pre-made 2D character. I've only ever seen it done to spice up the video of people streaming video games but I'm sure there's someone doing no-budget cartoons with it. There's also Adobe Character Animator, which has been used for various TV stuff like a live performance of Homer Simpson or a few low-budget shows.

And then there's VRChat; a few thousand dollars of head-mounted display/facial capture/body trackers and you can get realtime full-body tracking. There's probably someone fucking around with making movies this way too.

At this point I'm pretty sure that you could get most of the functionality of that hand-tooled puppetry gizmo by just taking a sock and gluing a couple of ping-pong balls onto it and tweaking some tracking software.

Please see the cost breakdown: https://ifp.org/nuclear-power-plant-construction-costs/

Very very little is made/manufactured on site. You do not make turbines, computers, pipes, or much at all, on a construction site. You form, weld, pour, and assemble. The goal would be a standard design, to cut those giant engineering and custom fabrication costs to a small fraction.

You don't need to deliver a completed factory on a pallet to save costs (although that's possible with distributed small module reactors, as Asia is ramping up for).

It's for non-math majors. I'm trying to bring in the fact that infinity is when things get complicated. In calculus, algebra, probability, geometry, everything, so I'm trying to learn things like how perspective drawing uses infinity. So that'll take me three months. They won't appreciate it, but I will. I'll have fun with it. I've been teaching a course for non-mathematicians for years, and a lot of the stuff has already been covered there.
