Australian consumer law means you generally don't need to bother with the "extended warranty" scam:
https://www.choice.com.au/shopping/consumer-rights-and-advic...

A fridge has to be of acceptable quality, safe, and one of the tests applied is durability - how long would an average consumer expect the product to last?

Fridges are commonly expected to last 6-12 years (ATO, consumer group advice)
Your comment makes me think you are talking about modern therapy. I don’t think you are. But the process feels closely linked.
Well,

Basically cd audio tracks have a base sector and a start specified. That allows sectors representing audio before timestamp 0:00 to be represented the track. The reason for this originally was probably to allow the drive to get synchronized before the track started. Enterprising cd masterers put actual hidden audio data in that area which would allow you on some CD players to rewind past 0:00 and then play the hidden audio at the negative timestamp.
This is a safety issue, warranty is not relevant.

Samsung also recalled a huge number of out of warranty phones due to significant safety risk of bad batteries. This should be investigated as a safety issue.

> What about people who steal because it's fun or exciting and not boring, like an actual job?

Sure, there are those people too, but even then the risk-to-reward factor will come into play, it's just that those people are willing to take a higher risk not because of the monetary reward but because of the reward of the "thrill".

Most commuter train lines in Japan are part of integrated conglomerates of complementary businesses. JR East, which runs the Yamanote Line, also operates shopping malls, hotels, gyms, and other retail facilities at and near their stations. Many suburban lines, such as Tokyu and Hankyu, also have large real estate businesses along the train lines. The rail lines make the businesses more accessible, and the businesses boost rail usage. That symbiotic profitability has developed over many decades and would be very difficult to create from scratch.
Eh. A leader's personal characteristics have an important but surprisingly small impact on the thing led. There are a lot of examples of that (quite a high profile one playing out around the US president right now, for example).

My usual go-to is in Australia there was a politician who literally wrote a book recommending against the policies he adopted while in power. There wasn't any evidence that he'd changed his intellectual views, he was just blown by a stronger wind than his convictions.
As the article says its like an easter egg, putting a hidden song before the first track of a CD. If the song wasn't in the pregap it wouldn't be hidden. It's just for fun.

(Sometimes songs can also be hidden in tracks at the end of the CD like 99, but that feels less mysterious.)
I have often wondered why Android's javadoc is so awful ... and thought, maybe precisely because its its embedded in such a large codebase it doesn't get updated for risk vs perceived benefit reasons (becuase of proximity of javadoc to code). Of course, it could be cultural or other things ... Perhaps the tooling sees changed sources, false positives for code changes, and there is a desire to eliminate this to help downstream consumers etc?
Good call. Front-end performance is often the bottleneck. Preloading most of the required data in advance is really helpful. Trello does just that and it is one of the snappiest web apps.
> the company wasn't able to tell him what the chemical was or whether it could be harmful.

Odd how you are confident that you know what the chemical is when the company that manufactured the product doesn't.

And you don't need to know that there's a health impact to decline this settlement, you need to not know that there isn't. If there's even a small risk it's an extremely lowball offer. Especially given that according to another commenter here Australian law likely entitles them to that much without the NDA and release of liability.
It seems impossible to make everyone on the planet perfectly smart, yet it seems possible to make the majority smarter than it is, in this specific aspect. We already mass-teach reading and writing, also essentials of sexual hygiene etc. Why not just add basic logic, rhetoric and philosophy to the list of the essentials?
From the article:

> The most recently dismissed claims were fairly important, with one pertaining to infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), section 1202(b), which basically says you shouldn't remove without permission crucial "copyright management" information, such as in this context who wrote the code and the terms of use, as licenses tend to dictate.

> It was argued in the class-action suit that Copilot was stripping that info out when offering code snippets from people's projects, which in their view would break 1202(b).

> The judge disagreed, however, on the grounds that the code suggested by Copilot was not identical enough to the developers' own copyright-protected work, and thus section 1202(b) did not apply. Indeed, last year GitHub was said to have tuned its programming assistant to generate slight variations of ingested training code to prevent its output from being accused of being an exact copy of licensed software.

So (not a lawyer!) this reads like the point about GitHub tuning their model is not a generic defense against any and all claims of copyright infringement, but a response to a specific claim that this violates a provision of the DMCA.

I don't know whether this is a reasonable defense or not, but your intuitions or mine about whether there is a general copyright violation or what's fair are not necessarily relevant to how the judge construes that very specific bit of legal code.
The machine alone doesn't do anything. The user and machine together constitute a larger system, and with autocomplete, the user is charge. What's the user's intent?

I suspect that a lot of copyright violations are enabled by cut-and-paste and screenshot-taking functionality, and maybe we need to be careful with autocomplete, too? It's the user's responsibility to avoid this. We should be careful using our tools. Do users take enough care in this case? Is it possible to take enough care while still using CoPilot?

I've switched from CoPilot to Cody, but I use them the same way, to write my code. There's no particular reason to use CoPilot's output verbatim and lots of good reasons not to. By the time I've adapted it to my code base and code style and refactored it to hell and back, it's an expression of how I want to solve a problem, and I'm pretty confident claiming ownership.

Is that confidence misplaced? Are other people more careless?
> Why doesn't every GPT interaction on the planet, when it generates code, simply generate white box tests proving that the code "works" and produces "expected results" to reach consensus with the human in its "pairing"? I'm still guessing. I've posed this question to every team I've interacted with since this emerged, which includes many names you'd recognize.

My guess would be that it's simply rare in the training data to have white box tests right there next to the new snippet of code, rather than a lack of capability. Even when code does have tests, it's usually in other modules or source code files, written in separate passes, and not the next logical thing to write at any given point in an interactive chatbot assistant session. (Although Claude-3.5-sonnet seems to be getting there with its mania for refactoring & improvement...)

When I ask GPT-4 or Claude-3 to write down a bunch of examples and unit-test them and think of edge-cases, they are usually happy to oblige. For example, my latex2unicode.py mega-prompt is composed almost 100% of edge cases that GPT-4 came up with when I asked it to think of any confusing or uncertain LaTeX constructs: https://github.com/gwern/gwern.net/blob/f5a215157504008ddbc8... There's no reason they couldn't do this themselves and come up with autonomous test cases, run it in an environment, change the test cases and/or code, come up with a finalized test suite, and add that to existing code to enrich the sample. They just haven't yet.
Your parents would have to specifically install the Epic Game Store.

I disagree that this is the "original" problem. Police misuse of power has been a problem long before the current era of mass/social media.

I do however agree that it's a problem (it's just an orthogonal one).
Few years ago, dean of our college decided to block lan network after 10PM because of “gaming impact attendance” blah blah.

Anyway, the way they implemented this is by blocking all traffic from/to ip addresses but not blocking tcp and completely forgot about ipv6 as it was not pretty new. So, I created a simple p2p chat Application which will work with ipv6. Only problem is that we had to share our ipv6 addresses with our friends which they have to maintain in contacts. It worked great until we figured tunneling to computer which is outside the network was much easier.

In a properly regulated world, all of these clowns would be shut down today and some of them would go to jail.

Instead we do no regulation, these "not-banks lying and claiming your money is safe" get to harm a lot of people, and the public further loses trust in everyone involved.

To anyone reading this who has money in any business that claims not to be a bank but instead your money is super-safely stored in a real bank somewhere and so there's no risk to you: run away, run away fast. Get your money out and close your account. You're in a Ponzi scheme and you don't realize it.

Personally, I have a hard time not seeing Signals as just non-conforming Observables missing a bunch of useful operators. They remind me of how much people loved ko.computed() from Knockout (and I've joked at times that Signals are just a return to ko.computed), but then had an awful time debugging the edge cases or fixing the performance from bad dependencies. Hooks maybe lean too much the other side of the spectrum in trying to force manual dependency tracking but maybe making it harder than necessary. ReactiveX-style Observables hit a sweet spot for me in dependency management that is hard to beat, especially once you get into all of those complicated operators like switchMap/combineLatest/distinctUntilChanged that can be very powerful tools in the right hands, especially for things like dependency management and throttling. (Though yes, getting junior developers and some types of teams all on the same page can be the hard part. In general a lot of functional programming gets tot be that way: once over the learning curve it's all gravy, but the learning curve looks like a terrifying roller coaster to many that haven't yet.)

A proper pipe operator or a C#-like "fluent extension methods" approach might help a lot to clean up some of "scariness" of the first hill of the roller-coaster. If we are wishing for ponies, it might even be really nice in JS to have a proper monadic do-notation, even just a limited form like C#'s LINQ syntax (from … in … let … where … select …). "Monadic do-notation" sounds like its own terrible rollercoaster hill, but is a powerful and succinct way that lets you use a (monad) like an RX Observable in a very imperative ("Signal-like" way that is easy to read, even if the underpinnings feel hard to grasp. (LanguageExt for C# is a fascinating example in how it allows using the from/select syntax to do some interesting monadic binding, that I've seen used successfully by junior developers that don't know what a monad is, but know C# enough and find they can read/write the LINQ well enough.)

I've also had some success eventually training junior developers to think in RxJS or ReactiveX in general. Marble diagrams are particularly great for visual learners to better piece together what happens. (I'm a big fan of reactivex.io's Operators pages for that, and RxJS' marble testing-based unit test harness. I've seen a similar library for C# but it didn't support all the parts of RxJS' syntax which I needed. I'd love to see that need met, too.)
Copper theft is totally a thing in Europe too, in many countries.

First country I find by googling is Germany but copper thieves are stealing cables alongside railroad in France, Belgium, etc.

https://www.recyclingtoday.com/news/copper-railway-theft-eur...

And it is regularly disrupting trains.

These thieves do not care for the community. They do care about fake Luis Vuitton caps (convinced they're highly stylish with their Luis Vuitton caps and Luis Vuitton manpurses) and the latest iPhone though.
Yep! HDBs are the norm for Singaporean citizens.

That said, they will also prosecute anti-social behavior in an extremely putative manner.

Germany's energy (overall and electric power) production has been knocked back to 1970s levels [0]. If that is working, failure is unimaginably bad. The trend is grim.

China, on the other hand, has built a new US sized economy over the same timeframe that looks very similar to the German situation on a per-capita basis. I'd rather live in a country that was doing similar things with energy. The trend is rosy.

Fair, this is coming from a place of trust my government to handle this stuff since X isn't going to. (Canadian) I agree with what you posted thats why:

1) I prefer open access and because of the reasons you posted, so others can hold the private company accountable

2) This is capitalism if they don't see profit they aren't going to do anything. So I think this is an interesting case for a pure profit/cost saving argument to have that open access to user posts.

3) social media as it is now is measurably bad for society even without propaganda

bonus) I like seeing how Elon, touted as a genius, has continuously fumbled X and somehow making it a more exaggerated place that he said it was before his purchase.

Some people are sadistic cretins who revel in the suffering of others, but I don't think that is the mainstream position.

I was pushing back on the idea that "homo economicus" or mainstream economics advocates for competitive sabotage. I have never heard academic economists advocate for this as a rational position.

If anything, the field is biased to over-emphasize positive collaboration.

The position of the parent post is some strange application of group competition for a scarce resource to happiness.

It assumes that someone's goal is not be be as happy as possible, but rather happier than others. This is the only situation where it makes sense to actively put in work to make other people more miserable.

This feels very similar to how database table triggers work. You define trigger conditions, and then the trigger on table A tells table B how to update itself. The tables store only data.
The intent of the work can matter when determining if de minimis applies as well as fair use.
You'll always have several categories of people stealing.

Parent's point is that poverty will lower the threshold for some of these categories. People who wouldn't care that much about money if they had enough to get by will get into stealing, not necessarily to get rich but just to get back to a state they're comfortable with.

Hi. I believe the plane adage can open minds. ALSO I believe the "correct" reasoning that commonly happens in the plane adage logically non-valid. This could be demonstrated syllogistically, but it is simpler to note that if the enemy only shoots your planes in places that are "good hits" (easy to hit and likely to make your planes fall), then the situation would look same to you. The actual correct choice generally is to gain as many bits of useful information as fast as possible.

Sometimes CDs would have a long piece of silence at the end of the last song and then another song on the same track.

Other CDs really experimented with the shuffle feature. They Might Be Giants’ Apollo 18 had a bunch of very short tracks that would usually play between songs when shuffle was used.
That professor's statement was pretty silly.

Burning electronics does have a strong, distinct odor. If they are unfamiliar with that, its totally plausible that's all that they smelled.

Refrigerators are a few PCBs, a heat pump, a closed loop refrigerant, and a cooler. There really isn't anything especially exotic there.
I don't either, but you've got to be a close friend before I'm watching TV at your house, and I don't pretend that my close friends are a randomly selected portion of the populace.

Those symptoms are mixing refrigerants, fumigants, and the frostbite from refrigerants expanding.

It means nothing in the context of this article. The refrigerant at hand here is R-134a and has zero health risks, in fact it's used in inhalers.

Correct. Strictly speaking Australian consumers don't really need a warranty, which is a voluntary undertaking by a business to guarantee certain rights, unless that warranty exceeds those guarantees provided for in Australian consumer law. In this case the family is automatically entitled to repair, replacement, refund or cancellation for a reasonable time, where "reasonable" depends on the product or service as determined by the ACCC or the courts.
> trigger a lot of small requests reading bunch of places from the files. I mean a lot.

That’s… the whole point. That’s how Parquet files are supposed to be used. They’re an improvement over CSV or JSON because clients can read small subsets of them efficiently!

For comparison, I’ve tried a few other client products that don’t use Parquet files properly and just read the whole file every time, no matter how trivial the query is.
Is Samsung not using R-134a or R600a for refrigerant? This usually depends on market and regulations.
> everyone - the police, the legislators, the courts, and drivers - understands that in practice it's acceptable to exceed the speed limit a bit when making a pass

Not in France. When passing a car, you MUST stay below the speed limit. The only exception would be an immediate danger, like for example if you follow someone visibly drunk. Wanting to pass someone because they drive 5kmh below the speed limit is not an immediate danger, just be patient, you’ll be late by 5 minutes at most.

Speed limits are laws, not suggestions.
