The problem with walking droplet is that they have no polarization. However, we can use a pair of walkers, which walk together, to try to see how they walk through a line of pillars at different angles. It should work and produce similar results to results produced by polarized filters with light.

Maybe, it will be possible to make two entangled pairs of walkers and then see what happens to them.

Your first quote is saying the opposite of what you are trying to defend. It’s about women taking prep because they believe their husbands are cheating, which makes total sense.

Not HIV husbands forbidding their wives from taking prep because it would enable the wives to cheat or imply that they are cheating
"Luckily, newer languages make constructing such monstrosities harder and discouraged."

They just encourage constructing monstrosities of a different kind. I don't think people who do stupid things in one paradigm will do any better in another paradigm. I see that a lot in the microservice vs monolith debate. If you can't manage a monolith you will also screw up microservices.
Yes, viewport units (like vw) don't always respect user settings, such as zoom levels or custom font sizes.

It seems like a good idea at first (larger viewport? larger text!) but not a recommended practice.

Where are you seeing that info? Are you basing it on the current order page?

I also pre-ordered in May and when I login to check my status, it seems the only way to do that is to download the Shop app.

It’s seems unreasonable that I should need to download an app from a 3rd party to track an order. I find it ironic that a company like Daylight, trying to break people’s screen addictions, is forcing them to an app to track an order. I can see there being a lot of overlap in the Daylight and Light Phone markets, but a Light Phone user would have no way to track their order.

In the end this whole debate will come down to the question if a new law should be introduced. Something like "learnright", similar to todays "copyright".

"learnright" would give the exclusive right to learn from a given piece of content to the author. So everybody else who wants to have their robots learn from it would need to make a deal with the author.

My expectation is that this will not happen and robots will be allowed to learn from everything that is public. Just like humans.

Meanwhile, here are some more studies showing a benefit of breakfast. It is certainly possible that there are confounding factors, but the relative risks of ignoring the data are too high.

Meta-Analysis of Relation of Skipping Breakfast With Heart Disease (2019) (PMID: 31326073)

> The primary meta-analysis combining HRs for Q1 (first quartile, most skipping breakfast) versus Q4 (fourth quartile, least skipping breakfast) from 3 studies together with other HRs/ORs demonstrated that skipping breakfast was associated with the significantly increased risk of heart disease (pooled HR/OR 1.24; 95% CI 1.09 to 1.40; p = 0.001). In sensitivity analyses combining HRs for Q2 (second quartile, second most skipping breakfast) versus Q4 or HRs for Q3 (third quartile, second least skipping breakfast) versus Q4 from 3 studies together with other HRs/ORs, the association of skipping breakfast with the increased risk of heart disease in the primary meta-analysis was confirmed. In conclusion, skipping breakfast is associated with the increased risk of heart disease.

Association between skipping breakfast and risk of cardiovascular disease and all cause mortality: A meta-analysis (2020) (PMID: 32085933)

> Results: Skipping breakfast was associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (relative risk 1.22 95% confidence interval 1.10-1.35) and all cause mortality (relative risk 1.25 95% confidence interval 1.11-1.40) compared with eating breakfast regularly.

> Conclusion: Skipping breakfast increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and all cause mortality. Eating breakfast regularly may promote cardiovascular health and decrease all cause mortality.

"Owning ideas" is a relatively new concept -- intellectual property is a few centuries old.

"Ownership" is completely opposite to a natural state of things, and can only be enforced with force. Mix that abstract concept with the abstract of information for extra complexity. Add to it that Information can't be "owned" in the same sense that physical property can, and the fact that (if not copyrighed), it's a non-excludable, non-rivalrous good (it can benefit everyone, equally, at the same time).

On the other hand, it's nice to incentivize innovation, competition and creativity, or at least, not hinder it.

It would be very interesting to go to 2124 and check if these concepts are still alive, or if somehow we have evolved our social norms to be closer to the natural world. Once you convey information to any entity outside of your brain/body, it naturally belongs to the world.

> That is thinking slow for you?? How do you reach conclusions or how do you know the reasons why you reached the conclusion?

Are you thinking that using words during thinking helps with reaching conclusions and knowing why you reached the conclusion?

For me it's just there, the thoughts, the facts, the logic, the sequence, the connections, etc. Expressing all of that in words happens afterward (if it happens).
It was just a bad fit for the problem at hand. It was picked mainly because there were a bunch of Elixir backend devs in the organization that were out of work and every problem looks like a web service (or any other system architecture you're familiar with) if you want it badly enough. There was a bunch of hardware interaction that ended up getting externalized into a separate C++ component that exposed a gRPC interface towards the Elixir component both because of Conway's Law and because nobody wanted to (or knew how to) write NIFs and deal with blocking operations on the Erlang side.

A two-digit number of these devices was meant to form a cluster of sorts and using Erlang clustering sounds like a nice solution for that until you realize that the base load of the full mesh that this implies is high enough to use a meaningful chunk of the device's resources.

This was a great read.

A few years out of school, I took a detour from tech/entrepreneurship to work in my family business (overseeing operations in a construction manufacturing facility, in Egypt), mostly with my Uncle. In my case, though I fully prefer tech as an industry, the deal-breakers were a dismal economic/political climate and an... interesting Uncle.

Apart from that, a lot of the article resonated. A few other things that stood out and made the transition hard for me were: corruption (in the construction industry, hard to avoid) and culture/hierarchy.
More sedetary life. Before most people worked in physically active jobs and past times tended to be more active too. If you work in an office and watch TV when you get home, your energy use is obviously smaller than working in a field for 12 hours.

Apparently more sedetary life does not effect the apetite of most people.
Sure, X11 was getting long in the tooth and not well fit for the modern desktop.

However, the main problem is that the replacement isn't a replacement. If X11 was a pickup truck, Wayland is a bare engine and transmission package.

Sure it might be a much better engine with cleaner design and has no trouble passing emissions testing, and the transmission has much better efficiency and smoother gear shifts. But if you need a pickup truck then it's just one, albeit important, piece.

By leaving all that extra work up to the individual compositors only reinforces the negative aspects of open source fragmentation.

So recordings of whale songs are art? IFF whales are intelligent?

And field recordings of factory equipment and wind blowing through leaves are not art?

If a painter paints in the woods and no one's there to see it, is it art? Does it become art when it's seen?

I'm really curious about what people see as the "real" at the heart of art. It seems to be more complicated than mere human creativity. I just like to make things and I enjoy things other people make when they challenge me. I don't understand art.
Yes it's ironic, AI was supposed to free us from drudgery and give us time to spend on creative passions. Instead AI is taking over all the creative work and leaving only the drudgery.

It can be a legal thing and hold up in court in some countries. Is respecting a "no trespassing" sign also just courtesy?
Really it should be opt-in. All currently dead artists should be off limits by default.
I get the point you're making, but I'd argue that even when stated in a reductive fashion, the complex system that leads simple cellular automata to artistic expression is orders of magnitude more elegant and special than AI.
> Publishing text or images on the web does not make it fair game to train AI on. The “public” in “public web” means free to access; it does not mean it's free to use.

US Copyright law (which assigns that very copyright) disagrees with this. "Fair use" means you can use it, in certain transformative ways, not merely "access" it.
Yes you can, both legally and morally, and yet nobody tries to ban you from watching Star Wars.

That the nature of the stock market is such that it is always reaching all time highs. If you look back at any 5 year window historically on the S&P500 for the last hundred years, instantaeneously it will always seem like we are teetering at the top of an apocalyptic bubble.

I’m suspicious over the scant detail in this claim. I feel like when this has come up in the past, it’s turned out that the training scrapes obeyed robots.txt, but the agents browsing in direct response to user conversations were retrieving page content to summarize, in the spirit of following the link on a search result page. Maybe still something people would prefer not happen, but very much ephemeral access in response to an individual user’s query, not training models.

There’s nothing in the linked article to distinguish between those types of requests or usage, and no evidence to suggest the firms are doing other than what they say they are.
Neither sentence of your post has any value to anybody, other than (possibly, dubiously) yourself. Next time, consider writing such comments in your personal journal, or perhaps just shouting them out loud when you're alone.
That’s fine, but then we need to stop privatizing the AI. If a coalition of companies (and maybe government?) were to train open model weights, and run those models on equal-access hardware (i.e. all residents of the country get N compute credits per year) then we’d be much closer to a system where “intellectual works should automatically benefit society” — however, that is not what we are seeing today.
The problem isn't really that you can recover the public key, which as you point out is not intended to be secret, it's that you can use this ability to discover which key (and perhaps which person) signed a given message and if multiple different messages were signed by the same key. This property is both unexpected and lead to undesirable properties in some use-cases.

One example might be a spy that wants to send information to another spy using encrypted and signed emails and do so using one-time addresses and a public key shared out-of-band. Except thanks to this particular property of public keys and signatures, someone able to intercept the emails would be able to tell they were all signed by the same key and thus presumably related even if the email addresses were totally separate. Even worse, if the same public key was ever used with an email address linked unintentionally or not to the spy's identity, all their email addresses are now compromised.

Of course in a lot of situations the identity of the signer is revealed in some other way so it's not a problem if signatures have this property. But the fact that the signature itself inherently reveals something about the identity of the signer means you have to take extra steps if you don't want your protocol to reveal the signer in that way. And you probably care in any situation where you have multiple signing events and don't want an adversary to be able to link them together or link them to a specific identity. An "ideal" public key signature algorithm would only do what you expect it to do, verify if a signature was produced by a provided public key, and reveal no additional information.

That would make a good Turing test in the opposite way to what the author intended.

GTP 4o gave me a reasonable answer straight away. I think all humans I know would say something like "eh? What you on about?"

The question is stupid anyway. In:

>Can you give me a real-life example of three events, A, B, C, where A and B are correlated, B and C are correlated, but A and C are uncorrelated.

basically for all real world cases there will be some slight correlation between A and C.

I'll give you GPT 4o gives heat/icecream, heat/aircon and icecream/aircon rather than the better answer that the question as written is dumb, showing some limits to its understanding. But the author seem to have that limit also.

If you had used another eInk device you could tell. I did pick up a Kobo Libra Color as well and while I like it there certainly is a noticeable grain and contrast loss compared to my B&W devices. It's just a little less sharp and requires more light to read from. For people just reading novels I think the color screen isn't totally worth it. The Libra Color does finally have a decent CPU compared to prior models so it is nicer on that front but I don't think it's worth it for everyone.
It seems obvious to me that thinking critically about what you read or hear takes effort and time. I wouldn't call it unbearable, though, because the alternative is polluting your mind with unvetted notions.
Bughouse is the 4 player, 2 boards variant. You capture your opponent's pieces and give them to your team mate who can then drop them on their board. That way there is no problem with the piece being the wrong color to drop.

Shogi solves that by having the pieces be flat with the two colors on different sides, afaik.

Crazyhouse is online only, so it has no problem switching the color of the captured piece.

> In addition, Singapore society is highly regulated through the criminalisation of many activities which are considered as fairly harmless in other countries. These include failing to flush toilets after use,[90] littering,[91] jaywalking,[92] the possession of pornography,[93] the sale of chewing gum,[94] and, prior to December 2022, sexual activity such as oral and anal sex between men.[95]

> Singapore retains both corporal punishment (in the form of caning) and capital punishment (by hanging) as punishments for serious offences. For some offences, most notably trafficking in drugs above a certain specified quantity, the imposition of these penalties is mandatory.

I’d rather hear gunshots and deal with property crime every day than be subjected to the above.
I think your post is taking these AI voices out of their original context.

First let's consider CD -> streaming as a media change. Streaming didn't really exist when Tupac was around. But nobody would say putting Tupac's catalog on streaming is inherently disrespectful to his artistic legacy because it's preserving (more or less) the same artistic product.

Here are a couple other examples that I do think are more analogous than improvements in recording technologies:

Posthumous releases with material not created by the artist. Sometimes record labels will try to capitalize on the brand of an artist and release material that really only has snippets of random recordings that an artist made. In my view, this is disrespectful to the artist because it's not a piece of artistic material they wanted to release.

Another example is colorizing black and white movies. Similarly, this action changes the actual artistic product in a way that's disrespectful to the creators of those films.

Creating AI voices of artists is similar to these examples because it's changing the artistic output of an artist and disrespecting their artistic legacy. It's creating content under their name without the ability for them to say no or have any input into the output.
Basically, the root disagreement was "monotonic improvement". Evolution is awesome, but it couldn't work with only monotonic improvement.

I used to do an "optimization" on my genetic algorithms. I'd ensure the highest scoring genome of the last population was a member of the new one. It made sure every single generation improved or stood still.

It was a good idea to keep a copy of the "best" genome around for final output, but by keeping it in the search space, I was damaging the ability of the algorithm to do it's job by dragging the search space constantly back to the most recent local optima.
I mean you literally have women saying they take it if they are cheating.

> Some of the women were prevented by their male partner from taking or continuing PrEP: “I showed him the pill. He immediately stopped me from saying more before mentioning he had heard about PrEP and that he was strongly against the pill... He ordered me to throw them away or else pack my bags and leave. And that was why I stopped taking them.”

Here’s some more explicit quotes [1]:

> Another concern was that partners would interpret PrEP use as evidence of sexual activity outside the relationship.

> “I didn’t tell him about the pills. I was hesitant because he will say, ‘Why are you preventing HIV? Are you cheating now because we don’t have HIV so why are you taking pills?’ So, I decided to keep quiet. I am going to tell him. But for now, I haven’t told him about it.” PrEP User, Lower adherer, Age 21

It even makes sense that your partner taking PrEP would be seen as evidence of having an affair if you are convinced that neither of you had HIV prior. So not only do you continue on doubling down on a losing position, it’s not even an illogical line of reasoning to have.

I’d say the burden of proof is on you at this point that such an interpretation isn’t a social norm or that it’s even an illogical position to have.

Which countries? (I'm genuinely curious)

In countries with right to roam, the answer is often yes. In states like California with right to access waterways, many "no trespassing" signs are unenforceable too if they block access to rivers or beaches.
