Well that's certainly disappointing but not really a rug pull so much as just what eventually happens with every project, which is that at some point the original authors stop contributing to the original vision. Both of the mentioned projects also don't use BSL, which I feel it is worth reiterating is still a very permissive license. If you aren't planning on selling licenses to the project you are contributing to, then a BSL isn't going to meaningfully restrict you. Sure, fewer contributions is a theoretical concern, but fully permissive licenses also suffer from contributions not looping back into the original project. Or if you use something in the GPL family there are other implications. I've been reading a lot about licensing lately and there don't seem to be any obvious choices for authors who care about how their work is used. I'm gravitating towards BSL though because it is relatively simple and feels like it retains the most important aspects of open source, which are redistribution and modification.

Chevron deference came from a case in 1984, so any "sky is falling" argument should explain why the sky didn't fall before then.

Note that the Natural Resources Defense Council was the LOSING litigant in that case. (I don't understand why Chevron, the evil oil company, was defending the EPA's authority, but ....)

I mention that because many of the groups arguing now that eliminating Chevron deference is horrible argued the exact opposite in 1984.
I'm reading the tea leaves here. I have no direct knowledge of the situation. I'm retelling a story that seems (at least to me) to be consistent with what little information is here. There's plenty you can criticize Google on but I'm not sure this qualifies. Let's not attribute malice without cause. Or even negligence. It's fair to ask if this needs to be here still and what it's for. Let's just not fly off the handle prematurely.

As for "retail" Chrome having this plugin, it would make total sense. Chrome is a massive codebase. Maintaining a fork is a significant amount of effort. It would be far easier to add APIs to Chrome and whitelist them for only google.com extensions/JS.
I still love miniconda for DS work. If you want to setup a project to process some videos using some python libraries, you can use conda to install a specific version of ffmpeg into the project without worrying about your system installation.

Lot's of random C/C++/Fortran libraries that can be used directly from conda and save a massive headache.

> Given that cars 95% of the time are not moving anywhere, then self driving cars could reduce the car consumption by 10 times, an order of magnitude less.

I question this assertion.

Granted, I'm coming at this from a semi-rural American perspective, but I don't think true full self-driving would cause a reduction in emissions. If anything, I think it might increase them.

Urban areas are where emissions are most immediately an issue. Those areas also have limited parking. If vehicles were capable of autonomous operation, I would expect more people to drive, exit the vehicle at their destination, then allow the vehicle to park itself. This would incentivize companies to add additional offsite parking, which in turn would mean that vehicles would drive themselves to and from those parking areas - a net increase in distance driven, and therefore emissions.

That's not even considering things like vacations. My family and I drive 10+ hours about once each month. About half of those trips are for pleasure, and the only reason we take one vehicle is because it doesn't make sense for both my wife and I to drive separately. Otherwise, if I'm spending a week at the beach, I'd prefer to be able to drive my Jeep around while we're there. My Jeep doesn't fit my family and our luggage comfortably, so we don't take it right now. If it could drive itself, the only reason not to have it come along would be the cost of fuel and wear.
It was always a false dichotomy.

The core issue was America needing better and more accountable policing.

"Defunding" the police was an extremist, fringe position that hijacked the situation.
Good point. One could probably patch the javascript on the fly to go from unskippable ad to auto-skip....

Kind of off-topic, but I always find it weird to see people's hands and arms in first person games like this. Like, if I think about it, I know my hands are almost always in view, but they almost always fade away and I ignore them.

Whereas whenever I see a first person game, it's almost all I can focus on and it breaks the illusion.
Why is it so unlikely to happen, though? In my lifetime I’ve only witnessed the American political sphere in general grow less and less friendly with the C-suite class. All the present drama in Washington aside, I’m pretty confident we’ll see real hard-time consequences for the leadership of bad-actor companies becoming more and more the norm.

If Epstein was found out in the 60s, I think we all know he could have pulled the appropriate levers and eventually walked. SBF got 25 years. Elizabeth Holmes got 12.

Obviously Western justice is far from perfect. I still feel as if we’re trending in the right direction.
Yeah we should probably stop subsidizing the heaviest water users. Instead we get high profile efforts that get a lot of attention and only save a token amount of water.
That's great! They will also print in gold if you ever want to upgrade. I had a backup printed recently, after 7 years, and it's exactly the same as the original. I was worried about process changes or tolerance issues, but had none.

Currently working at a state chartered credit union. Although it is "easy" to start one, most states regulations are very strict and lag significantly behind federal ones. Hell, where I work we aren't even allowed to serve businesses, loans, deposits, or otherwise.

This country has always had a segment of people in chemical dependent desperation since it was founded. The question is, why are we seeing a rise in metal theft? Its not because this population suddenly emerged, nor that they suddenly realized that metal has value as scrap. Its because the prices of metals has increased which creates incentive to fence metals. Theft in this sector is enabled through fences who take this stuff without asking questions.

It's not like selling a stolen bike and pretending it's not stolen. There's just not a lot of good reasons for someone to bring into a recycler an old brass plaque from a city monument or a hundred yards of wire from a bridge. Law enforcement knows this at least and is lenient on the thieves if they help pin the fence.
> It has nothing to do with poverty

Strong disagree.

If the gains are high enough, lots of people who aren't poor will steal.

But if the gains are low, then there's a risk-to-reward ratio that comes into play and, generally speaking, the poorer you are, the high ratio you're willing to put up with.
I posted it (and did a couple of years ago).

I use Datagrip as my primary tool when connecting to DB, but DB Browser is still used several times each month because the simple CSV import, adding index and view data.

Perplexity AI.
Lots of hardware supports being operated in access point mode and station mode at the same time -- on the same radio/antenna(s).

Even the venerable (and ancient) WRT54G could do this with appropriate firmware.

IIRC, I've even used this functionality with Windows ICS on my laptop many moons ago

It's not necessarily an efficient function, but efficiency isn't always the most important thing.

(These days, I often travel with a Mikrotik device that I've set up to be a hotspot abuser, so as to provide myself and whoever is with me a slice of Internet while having the immediate appearance of being a solitary device. It does this trick very well indeed.)
Circos is useful when the data is sparse and quickly becomes extremely time-consuming to near-impossible to interpret. The most you can say is "wow, there is a lot going on".

I know in five seconds if a Circos plot is worth looking at.
Almost any other display that you will reasonably use in a application that makes sense for segmented multiplexed LEDs will integrate internal controller, so instead of having to refresh the thing somehow you have a thing that is simply an peripheral hanging of some or other bus that just does its thing. And well, such things tend to be cheaper than seven segment LEDs (there is a reason why random almost disposable crap has graphical monochrome OLED panels)
> but if a car kills someone else not in a car, they still die.

I don't know if you know this, but sometimes pedestrians die due to bad road design or walking on unlit highways at night. Just because a car was involved does not mean the car was the primary reason the death occurred or that speed had any hand in the fatality.

> "speed (really momentum) is a large factor in the lethality of crashes."

Except we have safety systems which are designed to ameliorate this. If you don't use them, that's when the _fatalities_ occur, as opposed to just _injuries_.

> "For every 10 mph of increased speed, the risk of dying in a crash doubles."

"Risk of dying in a crash" is a nonsense statistical statement. Crashes are not identical. "For every 10mph of increased _sudden deceleration_" you might be able to make the case for, and it highlights the exact issue with single minded focus on speed.

You could increase the safety factor by much wider margins if you just focused on the _other problems_ first.
What guarantees do services like egg freezing provide, e.g. if the power goes out for their -80 freezer, or if they go bankrupt? What happens to your cells? What about with this service?
I considered mentioning in my first post that the school's behavior does not maximize overall learning because such a large portion of the students are at/above grade level. It is possible that their method of teaching the below-grade level students is consistent with maximizing learning for those students. I would think that for students who are behind, you would want to increase engagement/fun in order to increase the likelihood of maximizing learning in the long run. If you just wanted to get their scores up that year, you might focus more on drills instead.
How much do the software development, and sw bugs in production of doing it on the RPi cost you vs the battle tested hardware hex decoder?

Just because you can do something on a RPi doesn't always mean you should.
I assume by CSAM you mean any indecent image of a child, since there's only one legitimate use of material generated by, or for, child sexual abuse: as evidence, to catch and prosecute child molesters. that's the problem: the label "CSAM" implies intent as well as content.

unlike "CSAM," "radioactive" implies only content - content that has to be deliberately mined and enriched in a handful of factories, not something that can be accidentally generated by billions of families.

also, material can become CSAM without starting off as CSAM. imagine a baby monitor captures video of a toddler changing clothes. that's not CSAM yet - it's merely indecent. but now imagine a pedophile hacks the feed and shares it on a CP website. now it absolutely is, because intent (sexual gratification) and abuse (stealing and sharing the photos) have occurred.

we need nuanced labels to implement a nuanced policy.
I get what this piece is trying to say, but it's ignoring the fact that schools are trying to maximize learning with pupils who often don't want or care about learning (unlike with athletes or musicians who are generally learning their craft by choice).

A significant part of teaching disinterested students (not just in a grade school but in general) is about making the subject interesting enough that students will want to spend time on learning and continue to delve further in their free time.

If you're trying to teach someone web development, would you have them churn through a stack of predetermined bootcamp-style projects, or would let them try to build something they have personal interest in? I bet the latter method would turn out much better for the student in the long run.
Not in any way I'm aware of - and would be required if they were served a DMCA notification/Cease and Desist against a specific prompt.

The people that think Copilot is infringng their copyright would be happy with that I would think? Unless they take a much stricter definition of fair use than current courts do.
At some point along the way any use of a slippery slope became a fallacy on HN, and I'm at a loss to explain how.

Would it be more helpful to talk about it in terms of set points? You can change things a very small amount from the status quo without making people upset. Accepting a change in one direction makes it easier for them to later swallow what would have been more drastic changes in that direction.

Obviously this is a fallacy if change A isn't actually a step towards change B, but surely you can see that having accepted already installed speed limiters in all cars makes it dramatically more likely that they'll later be required to actually limit the speed of the car?
I went looking because I got curious; I found a reseller for Inmarsat’s Fleet Xpress plans, which are unmetered: https://www.pulsarbeyond.com/media/contentmanager/content/Fl...

The highest tier with a price on it is burstable 8x4Mbps with guaranteed 1x0.5Mbps for $9k a month, which feels about right for a ferry (especially with some aggressive caching). They would break even with 30 customers paying $10 for access, though really I would be surprised if a ferry went far enough out to sea to need specialized internet (I am out of my depth, though, so maybe they do).

All in all, interesting. The markups still feel high, but not nearly as outlandish as I would have thought.

I wonder if at huge economies of scale you can get cheaper marine satellite internet if you don’t need full-ocean coverage. Eg cruise ships seem to sail the same routes on repeat, they don’t really need coverage of the entire ocean. I wonder if Royal Caribbean et al get cheaper service because they have pretty static and pre-defined routes, making it easier for the satellite provider to ensure there are satellites overhead when the ships are there.
The solution needs to be some sort of "Teach for America" equivalent for police where non-traditional, college-bound candidates receive funding to be placed in under-served communities.

There have always been thieves and the "they are only criminals because they are victims" line is nonsense. It is a risk vs reward calculation for them and it's not a surprise that the crime is more popular when you reduce the risk with minimal punishment.

I am not sure how to interpret what you have written. Are you suggesting Amazon operated and sold AGPL-licenses software, and thus made a licensed program available over the network, but did not comply with the terms of the license? I am not aware of any evidence of such.
Thank you! Will send you a private demo :)
What makes the multiplier even more wild is when you consider the proceeds are probably being used (by the front-line thieves) to buy drugs whose cost is something like 10x–100x higher than the cost of production.

Many (including me) would consider it unethical but I understand the temptation to cut out several layers of middlemen and just have the government hand out drugs.
People aren't going to get it, because you don't get them.

The claim is that AI learns copyrightable elements.
I haven't encountered any silver ammunition for that particular gun. I haven't worked on a big python project in a while, so I'm not sure if rye would do the trick.
Prosecute the scrap metal yards more harshly, have a "police book" like used car lots and pawn shops. Document the person selling, get a photo of the same with the persons face, etc, etc.

Only allow maximum amounts of metal to be recycled unless said person has a registered business, per day/week/whatever. Regulate it.

There isn't an incentive if you can't sell it. As a commentator indicated below people were scrapping fire hydrants. Wouldn't this be a huge red flag??

"Oh yeah, I see you have 5 hydrants here to sell. I can't think of where these could have possibly have come from."
These woke activists go by the term "community organizers," which is especially ironic considering how dysfunctional they make communities. Multicultural societies are easy prey for them.
I don't think the bar should be higher for bad deeds! I prefer a lower bar. I see a lot of stuff happen in the world that I really don't want to happen (on topic: privacy invasions for profit), and it's not publicly called bad nearly enough.

I also thinks it's misleading and not very useful to call people good or bad, in general. I'm more comfortable with calling capitalist corporations "bad" as a blanket statements; resource-hoarding is their utmost priority, and I consider that an evil motivation.

My conclusion isn't that sorting is impossible, it's that people are too complex to be sorted into "good" and "bad", in general... and that it's shitty and incorrect to call ordinary people bad if they aren't willing to risk everything to work for a slightly less evil company in a world made of evil companies.
I mean my original comment was highlighting that it’s unsolved and it instantly started infighting so I think my point has been proven
What does that even mean? I'm certainly not living in a world where AI has replaced the need to build APIs.
That's what Iodine's raw mode does (minus wireguard). It tries that first.
You're saying it's not a big deal while also saying it improves the product. The debug panel is apparent, but we don't know what else the API's data is used for. Maybe Meet uses it to improve performance too.
Mathematics is mostly not that useful. Unfortunately most useful skills are not explicitly taught by our education system.

Negotiation. Cooperation. Compromise. Communication. Soft-skills are poorly taught and hard to learn. We mostly learn these skills subconciously. Even when trying to learn them conciously it is difficult.

Mathematics hasn't been of much use to me over decades of working in software. 90% of my degree in electronic engineering was mathematics (I didn't know better). Some skills needed for my software practice: (a) focusing on the right problem (b) talking to users (c) concentrating on usability (d) design skills (e) negotiation, (f) obstinacy in the face of problems outside of my control (g) choosing who to work with.

University level mathematics is clearly required in some software domains.

US copyright does protect for "substantial similarity" [0]. And at the other end of the spectrum, this has been abused in absurd ways to argue that substantially different code has infringed.

In Zenimax vs Oculus they basically argued that a bunch of really abstract yet entirely generic parts of the code were shared, we are talking some nested for loops, certain combinations of if statements, and due to a lack of a qualitative understanding of code, syntax, common patterns, and what might actually qualify for substantively novel code in the courtroom, this was accepted as infringing. [1]

Point is, the legal system is highly selective when it comes to corporate interests.
