What’s the point in JavaScript? At the end of the day that’s still equivalent to Models[“GeminiNano04”]

In C# you can’t compile a reference to Models.Potato04 unless Potato04 exists. In JS it’s perfectly legal to have code that references non-existant properties, so there’s no real developer ergonomics benefit here.

On the contrary, code like `ai.createTextSession(“Potato:4”)` can throw an error like “Model Potato:4 doesn’t exist, try Potato:1”, whereas `ai.createTextSession(ai.Models.Potato04)` can only throw an error like “undefined is not a Model. Pass a string here”.

Or you can make ai.Models a special object that throws when undefined properties are accessed, but then it’s annoying to write code that sniffs out which models are available.
There's a difference between activating TERT once in a while and having it extra active all the time.

I assume that before applying the drug you'd check the mean telomere length, which is easy enough to do.

You probably wouldn't give it to people with actual active cancers either, and check for anything unusual afterwards, to handle with properly targeted poison. (AKA chemotherapy, and resulting cancers would be super early stage so easy to quash)

The current IRC specification recommends UTF-8: https://modern.ircdocs.horse/#client-to-server-protocol-stru...

It is also possible for servers to tell clients only UTF-8 is allowed: https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/utf8-only . This is the default of some server implementations.
I think, rather than looking at the Source First license as something that’s “a replacement for OSI Open Source but less free” it’s more useful to see it as “a replacement for closed source commercial licenses but radically more open”.

Open source has created some really great backend software and developer tooling, but somehow it’s not great at making nice consumer-friendly client side apps. When you look at the best apps, even the ones like Chrome that use open licenses, they are created by a relatively closed group of developers funded by a for-profit company.

The Source First movement is aiming to provide a way for that kind of closed focused team to be more open with their users. I don’t imagine that many Source First projects are going to be looking for lots of community contributions, and that’s ok - the closed source apps don’t do this either and they seem to get along fine.
What a waste of humanity's resources.
Do they have to show harm? If the goal is just to shut down the digital lending I'd have thought that was a fairly straightforward consequence of the copyright.

I would imagine harm is needed to get damages. Are they asking for damages?

I'd love to see the publishers take some kind of responsibility for making books available to underserved communities, but as I understand it the law is kind of weak of making people be responsible.
Yes, I know. And pictorial fonts are used in the physical world. I was providing examples for some of those.

In his interpretation exceptions were just a little short of being fatal errors. They were almost fatal errors but with an optional escape hatch. But I agree all these distinctions are vague and do not seem to be fundamental differences.

Exceptions are a side effect of nice syntax. When we write

a = b + c

in a modern language quite a lot can happen behind the scenes. Yet the form implies 'a' will always be a sum of 'b' and 'c' whatever this means. There is no notion of 'a' not being a sum. So it seems there are two ways: either we provide a separate error handling mechanism (exceptions) that stops the execution and leaves 'a' undefined or we somehow turn 'a' into either a sum of 'b' and 'c' or an error (sum types).

I was 100% caffeine free for a year and a half while keeping a demanding full time job. That eventually ended when COVID lockdowns started (it's unclear even to me what the relationship between the two was; maybe my subconscious used it as an inspector excuse to go back)

Caffeine doesn't seem to affect my sleep until I get to absurd amounts like 10 cups in a day, which some times it does happen.

Currently I love the drug and intend to keep using it.
The article makes it sound like digital lending is one at a time, so it falls squarely under how libraries are authorized to work. Thus, it's not at all straightforward that digital lending violates copyright law.

Only skimmed the video, but did he get into why even the most modern cars, festooned with CanBus controlled light modules and LED almost everywhere, still have incandescent bulbs in the taillights? I'm pretty sure I've even seen those on electric cars.

Once upon a time, an "accidental" feature was that the thermal bimetallic flasher modules would flash much faster if the load was lower. So if you turn indicator flashed fast, you knew that one of the bulbs was out. I've seen this fairly recently; is it "designed in" to modern turn signal systems even though the bimetallic flasher units are long gone? And is that why there's still an incandescent bulb back there - because it's the easiest to monitor for not being functional by just watching the current draw?

Also once upon a time, you could pull out the thermal bimetallic flasher unit and replace it with an "electronic" one consisting of a transistor, a couple of passives, and a relay. Those made a very satisfying loud "CLICK CLACK" kind of noise that was impossible to miss. In my modern, car, I'm pretty sure the tick tock sound is synthetic, but it's also quiet enough that, at least at my age, it's easy to miss.

Conversely wouldn’t the south have a near monopoly on nicotine (also a stimulant). I wonder what impact nicotine consumption - if any - had on the war.
I love stories like this.

Just thinking of out with the old, it mentions there are only 100,000 payphones left in america from 2 million.

Is there any value in maintaining payphones or will they all ultimately go? I dunno, it seems of value for emergencies, say one gets into an accident late and night and your phone is damaged, a payphone was impretty much in walking distance, now not so much.

Same with copper landlines. My mom still uses an old school phone that doesn't need power. A bad storm hit a few years back and everyone was without power for three days, but my mom still had phone access, unlike the rest of us scrambling to charge our phones.

It was the most reliable communications network we made and to just let it go seems wrong.
To design a good engineering strategy, you need to deeply understand the business, its goals, and challenges. This holistic view allows you to tailor solutions that drive success. Kindgeek https://kindgeek.com/ can help you develop this understanding, ensuring your strategy is both effective and aligned with business needs.
If libraries weren't older than the copyright system, they would be banned as well nowadays with the extreme laws in place.
Total newb question but why do games use lua, as opposed to (for instance) embedded JavaScript with some defined interface into the game (e.g. APIs to adjust game state).

Seems to me that this would benefit from the much more severe hardening work that's gone into isolating browser environments (a hard and VERY well tested and funded target), as well as the massive work that's gone into performance optimizing dynamic types.

Plus if the mod needs UI there's the canvas and potentially even React etc if a Dom-like model is available.
Fortunately for everyone involved, this kind of immortality is not invulnerability, and it doesn't quite save the neurons which are slowly dividing cells, only indirectly limiting damage to them.

It could also be argued dead tree libraries harm publishers... But that doesn't mean it's a good idea to ban libraries, corporate interests should not beat societal interests when they are not aligned.

It seems like programming is scalable, in that some programs get executed many orders of magnitude more than other programs.
> All I’m trying to say is, there are many parallels between Haskell and other languages at the level of particulars.

Of course there are parallels, there must be for Haskell to be able to do what imperative languages can do. However that doesn't mean the abstractions are simple. "do notation" is another complicated generalisation and there's no way any Haskell programmer it going to be able to simply pretend that their do notation is a normal imperative language.

You seem to be asserting that I'm claiming that Haskell simply can't do the things that imperative languages can do, and I'm not at all and I don't understand how you inferred that.
> IA has argued that because copyright law is intended to provide equal access to knowledge, copyright law is better served by allowing IA's lending than by preventing it.

This seems like the opposite of the intent of copyright? How could the intent of granting an artificial monopoly to one party on disseminating information be to provide equal access to knowledge?

Indeed, as a search solution it should combine the benefits of a vector search, keyword search and reranking.

Also, to validate the search results quality users should be able to rate it. For e-commerce it could be as simple as an item added to cart from the search results.
The very idea of a library would be mocked as a ridiculous utopian fantasy.
While a lot of these finds are new and wonderful, especially that sanskrit inscription, the connections between the civilizations weren't exactly hidden. There are references to Hindus and Buddhists sprinkled throughout Greek histories, there were Greco-Buddhist kingdoms in what's now Afghanistan, Ashoka sent missionaries with his Buddhist edicts far west and had them translated into Greek and Aramaic.

I think the development of Christianity and later Greek philosophy has _clear_ signs of influence from Buddhism, and I'm sure the influence was bidirectional. These people talked to each other and they argued with each other and learned from each other. Egypt in particular was a wildly religiously inventive melting pot, and the Hermetic and Gnostic texts _especially_ have signs of influence from eastern religion, and if there were active Buddhist communities in Berineke that were presumably proselytizing, that makes a lot of sense.

I think a lot of people sort of make the assumption that because there are core differences between the religions that there is no influence, but sometimes doctrines only become settled through opposition. It's not always "Yes, and", sometimes it's "yes, but", and the popularity of certain ideas (for example the idea of salvation through personal enlightment) could force various sects to adapt and find similarities, while also differentiating themselves. Christianity is obviously not buddhism or an offshoot of Buddhism, but that doesn't mean that aspects of it weren't a reaction to encounters with Buddhist ideas.
> IPod being a special purpose device , with premium pricing...

Well, yes but if we're literally talking the iPod, it has been discontinued. Because it has been replaced by devices - with larger storage, I might note - that do more. I'm working from the assumption that as far as Brooks was talking iPhones basically are iPods. This is why the argument that the tech capped out seems suspect to me. The tech kept improving exponentially and we're still seeing storage space in the iPod niche doubling every few years.
Your anecdote does not somehow counter dozens of others that clearly exist across the internet. Just because it works for you does not mean it works across the board.
Underrated comment.

Perhaps Mormons have in their belief system a strong motivating stimulant? I am trying to avoid use of the word drug here as it is pejorative. Perhaps, Coffee is just what we need to overcome the ennui and pointless of modern existence and a set of religious (or cultural) beliefs helps us do the same.

This would also imply that Caffeine consumption is lower in societies that are religious and have strong belief systems - religious or cultural, which can be tested!
I’d be down to invest time reverse engineering this. It would be fun.

This is also true of Homer, whose stories were meant to be shouted out to a large crowd.

A much later and much more obscure American writer, R. A. Lafferty, was deeply influenced by ancient Greek poetry and philosophy, and his prose is better understood if you think of it as being read loud to a large crowd.

To me, it seems like someone got confused with patents, where you share your invention with the world, but claim a monopoly on using it.
Awe man I know exactly how you feel. A lot of the time I feel stuck because I need to earn a living and support my family. No other industry will pay like the software industry.

I too used to wait for Mondays and get excited about going to work. I used to relish that feeling of solving a big hard problem. Now having gone through enough rounds of corporate BS, layoffs, reorgs, incompetence, greed, and the like you wonder “what’s it all for”. You also look at the world and see more pressing problems than adding an AI chatbot to a photo sharing app.

Much of it is how the industry has changed. I don’t dislike software engineering. In fact i love it. I dislike all the BS - especially in the last few years. Previously it felt like we were on the “same team” pushing for big change with the big tech companies. Increasingly they’re just pale images of their former self. “Don’t be evil” is far far gone from the ethos of these companies that have no qualms sacrificing values once core to Silicon Valley and the project of an open internet. Now it just seems they rode those “values” to a certain level of profitability and discarded them to get to the next level of making money. Now their is a strong feeling amongst management engineers are entitled babies, and a corresponding distrust of increasingly, and disconnected, narcissistic tech executives.

I would recommend taking breaks and leaving any and all laptops at home. Establish an identity away from work be it as a dad, husband, with hobbies or otherwise. You can also find ways to volunteer in your community. And don’t discount seeing a mental health professional!

Professionally my most fulfilling days involve mentoring and being of service to others. Helping someone else have a fulfilling career leaves me feeling better than solving a big hairy tech problem these days.
I see them on reddit , the Zeds control the r/UkraineRussiaReport where they mostly push their propaganda and sometimes some combat videos , but since there are not many good news for the Zeds they put fake stuff like Zelensky bought a new sports car or mansion, or Ukrainians getting forcibly recruited. You will see there the unnatural logic Zeds have (like a guy complains that drone pilots are evil and insane but somehow the Ruzzian soldiers hiting a apparments block from distance are good and sane.

The mods there are 100% KGB guys. You will get banned if you engaged with them, so better don't or make some other account, those assholes will troll your ancient comments and mass report you to silence you.

Since you said you are not following the war let me make a summary

Ruzzia is attacking and Ukraine is defending,
the attacks are done with either a column of vehicles or motorcycles/ATV , this vehicles wither hit mines, get blow up by artillery or FPB drones, then the soldiers are picked up with FPV drones. There is a ton of FPV and surveillance drones videos of Ruzzian loses and almost nothing from the other side (but the Zeds are sure that Russia is not publishing the videos they have). Drones are used to also spot logistic of Ruzzians and those trucks/depos are blown up daily, there is also videos of anti air stuff getting destroyed a lot this last month. So Ruzzia is in a despreate attack mode, the soldiers have bad logistic support and they are sacrificed for microscopic gains. The Zeds seem to bet on Trump winning and offering Putin a favorable peace deal. They also hope N Korea will send them more soldiers and ammo to fight, since Putin is too coward to mobilize the people in the big cities.
The complaint here is the internet used to be "ad supported", and while showing ads to your intern isn't great, it's better than showing them to a web crawler
In the same way that a sandboxed HTML page is "not executing machine code on the CPU".

Of course that's how everything works if you drill down deep enough, but if your direct connection is to the internet, rather than to your arms and legs, I think it's fair to say that you exist on the internet rather than in the physical world.

I think the term is "reductionist". It is reductionist to say that because the internet exists in the physical world, existing on the internet is no different from existing in the physical world.
Not just "could be", indeed it has been argued.

As developer of one such libraries (ntcharts), and having some accessibility experience, I've thought about that irony too.

On a practical level, is it simply any terminal visualization that can destroy a terminal app experience, or only Braille rune rendering? We could include some guidelines in our project for how to include such charts while ensuring accessibility.

Besides via some configuration, I'm not sure how to programmatically recognize that terminal charts would be poorly experienced by a user.

IIRC you have to show harm to take anything to court. I recall cases on federal regulation that failed to move forward because a state AG failed to prove harm.

It makes sense when you think about it, otherwise courts would be flooded with lawsuits "because I don't like it".
I guess the best way will be to store the PNG/SVG in the storage driver with a reference to it in the editor. The same PNG/SVG will get updated/replaced whenever the code is updated. I need to do more study on this.

Storing the raw data in the editor will bloat the Prosemirror JSON and Yjs state (real-time collaboration) which I want to avoid.

'One at a time' is not how 'libraries are authorized to work'. There are specific additional permissions granted to libraries[0]. They have nothing to do with making and distributing arbitrarily many copies of a work, regardless of whether the previous recipient claims to have deleted it before the next person receives it - libraries are permitted to make one copy, or in some cases three - and the suit is primarily about the period where IA enforced no such restriction in the first place.

It is very straightforward that making and distributing copies is infringement without specific permission to do so or some specific legal carveout. Characterizing making many copies as sort of the same thing as having one copy which you move around may be how you treat it morally, but it certainly isn't how the law works.

Interesting. IANAL but a fundamental part of lawsuits is demonstrating how you were harmed.
Yeah, I wish we'd at least have tried scaling the benefits based on company's ability to pay. Or if they were guaranteed yet more realistic.

Ultimately maybe only something market-based is realistic. Yet if we must do that then I'd prefer gov workers be forced to use the same system. Also 401Ks being born out of a carve out for executives feels like an awkward fit for regular employees. Perhaps a unified system not tied to employment could be the best of both worlds.
