As a pretty die-hard enthusiast for this approach - even for legacy, hard industries - let's take a close look at some of the limitations of this approach.

First, code is formal language, and docs are natural language. That's a lot of jargon; what does it mean? It means that the chunks inside of a piece of code are consistently significant; a method is a method, a function is a function. Chunks in a document are, woo boy, good luck with that one. XML doesn't even have line breaks normalized. Again, no matter what the XML priesthood natters about, it's natural language.

A consequence of this is that the units of change are much, much smaller in a repo of code vs a corpus of documents. This, well, is can be ok, but it also means that a PR in a docs as code arrangement can be frickin' terrifying. What this means, is that you have to have a pretty good handle on controlling the scope of change. Don't branch based on doc revisions, but rather on much more incremental change, like an engineering change order or a ticket number.

Your third problem is that the review format will never - can never - be completely equivalent to the deliverable. The build process will always stand in the way, because doing a full doc build for every read is too much overhead for basically any previewer or system on the planet. This is a hard stop for a lot of DaC adopters, as many crusty managers insist that the review format has to be IDENTICAL to the format as it's delivered. Of course, that means when you use things like CIRs (common information repositories) that you end up reviewing hundreds of thousands of books because an acronym changed....but I call 'em "crusty" for a reason. They're idiots.

If you had done a little research into this question, you'd realize that 1A use cases ('journalism') are treated by law quite differently than use of likeness for commercial intent.

This is my whole point. There isn't a single, one-size-fits-all rule that a five year old can comprehend that describes any particular country's legal framework around the many, many different dimensions of tension between public and private interests on this incredibly broad question.

And none of the existing frameworks fit the new use cases well, and we should probably have an open political debate about what we want to do going forward.
>It's been said over and over, but should be said again - you're vastly more likely to die on your way to the airport than once aboard an aircarft... any aircraft.

For many people this is true. For me it is not.

I drive one of the safest cars ever created (45,000 sold, zero occupant deaths so far in both the US and EU) in an area that, in the United States, has the lowest traffic fatalities per capita and per 100 million miles driven, and I am in a demographic group that makes me, "StAtIsTiCaLlY" the safest driver on the road. I've also received defensive driving training through a former job, held a CDL for over a decade (which makes me even safer than a regular driver), and have no health issues.

My local airport is served, mainly, by the 737NG and MAX. The MAX has a fatal hull loss rate of 1.48 per million departures, or 0.06 per 40,000.

I have made over 40,000 "departures" in my car and have a confirmed, irrefutable, unquestionable fatal hull loss rate of 0.00 per 40,000.

You cannot use miles flown or driven as a comparison because of the nature of airline incidents, which tend (90%+) to occur on takeoff or landing.

I submitted this because the overall discussion about legal cannabis is interesting, the author makes (what I think are) reasonable points and I find myself wondering whether going directly from illegal to legal, without first broadly decriminalizing it, was the right move.

Show HN: Stems Music Player and Visualization
Music is separated into stems using a version of Demucs modified to support streaming. Pitched stems are then processed by a machine learning model trained to detect the fundamental frequencies in the music. Finally, the fundamental frequencies are post-processed and combined with magnitudes from the FFT to produce the visualization. A tempo detection model runs in parallel on the client to generate the beat grids.
This assumes there is an OS-managed software mixer sitting in the middle of all audio streams between programs and devices. Historically, that wasn't the case, because it would introduce a lot of latency and jitter in the audio.

To be clear, this suit stems from another journalist (their CEO) stating things that weren't factual and was admitted as such:

>Bryant did not sue after the articles were published in April 2022, and, in fact, the statute of limitations on defamation claims in Mississippi lapses after one year. But in February 2023, the CEO of Mississippi Today, Mary Margaret White, mischaracterized the reporting at a journalism conference in Miami.

>“We’re the newsroom that broke the story about $77 million in welfare funds, intended for the poorest people in the poorest state in the nation, being embezzled by a former governor and his bureaucratic cronies and used on pet projects like a state-of-the-art volleyball stadium at Brett Favre’s alma mater,” she said in videotaped remarks.

>Embezzlement is a crime, and Bryant has never been charged, let alone convicted. There has been no indication he is a target of an ongoing federal investigation into the welfare fraud scandal.

>In May 2023 — a few days after the Pulitzer announcement — Quin sent Mississippi Today a notice of his intention to sue, citing the “embezzlement” remark. A week later, White issued a public apology, saying: “I misspoke at a recent media conference regarding the accusations against former Governor Phil Bryant in the $77 million welfare scandal. He has not been charged with any crime. My remark was inappropriate, and I sincerely apologize.”

For what it's worth, the former governor and his lawyer weren't satisfied with the apology and went forward with their lawsuit.

I see two sides to this. It's critical that journalistic sources be held in confidence, but it's also critical to guarantee presumption of innocence until proven guilty and that journalists don't abuse their position to spread slander.

That their entire investigation is now getting pulled in demonstrates just how stupid that CEO journalist was.

> The limit of freedom is generally agreed to be "one person's freedom ends when it begins to infringe the freedom of others". Speeding definitely crosses that line.

The reason I'm not free to assault others is because I'm directly causing them to lose their right to life and/or well-being. Whereas speeding merely creates a risk of harm, not harm itself.

Almost anything could be argued to create a risk of harm to others, including driving itself. If we outlawed driving, we would certainly be saving a lot of lives. But we don't, so clearly there is more at play here than the mere fact of creating risk for another human being.

So I think your wholesale dismissal of the argument for personal freedom and judgment, on the basis of infringement of other's rights, does not really hold up to practical scrutiny.

1.10 ^ 30 = 17.45X the 1994 cost.

Unless State U education was darn close to free back then, I'm thinking that quite a bit of that cost increase was due to Other Factors. (Or Poetic License.)
What are you talking about? I don't know where you live or what project you are referring to, but it's not possible to retroactively remove someone's rights in the American legal system by publishing a new license. If you committed code under a MIT license without signing anything else, you don't lose anything when later versions are published under BSL, AGPL, or whatever. The fact that the MIT license arguably allows willy nilly relicensing by anyone should be seen as a flaw with that license, not BSL. Also the context of this conversation is what license is appropriate for a new project. It makes less sense to apply a BSL to a MIT licensed project that has been around for a while than it does to start off with a BSL.

It would be tricky do stop AI looking at content and making something inspired by it as humans have been doing that as a basic occupation for centuries.

> Why will you _want_ to pass? Is that 10mph going to get you there _that_ much faster?

Actually yes. That truck that's going 60 on the flats is going to be doing much less than that on the hills. Best for everyone involved to pass when it's safe. It increases safety and decreases road utilization.

Keep in mind that 3 hours @ 60 mph is 3 hours with another car on the road. To compensate you'd need another lane for 180 miles, not cheap. Also the rush of passing when a truck slows down is avoided. Additionally it's safer to pass when the speed differences are lower.

Seems better for everyone involved to let cars pass. It's much easier and safer to predict conditions for half the time when passing at +20mph then trying to predict twice as long when passing at +10mph.

The question is, if you have money stuck in Synapse, were records at Evolve that would help retrieve it compromised?

"The collapse of middleman Synapse has revealed fintech’s promise of safety as a mirage. More than 100,000 Americans with $265 million in deposits have been locked out of their accounts."[1]

Evolve has problems: Fed report on Evolve: "Examinations conducted in 2023 found that Evolve engaged in unsafe and unsound banking practices by failing to have in place an effective risk management framework for those partnerships. In addition, Evolve did not maintain an effective risk management program or controls sufficient to comply with anti-money laundering laws and laws protecting consumers."[2]

The combination of a collapse on the fintech side, bad risk management on the bank side, and a "hack" looks bad. It also raises the possibility that the "hack" might be an inside job to cover up theft. We've seen that happen in crypto land more than once.

Why are the journalists in trouble if the lawsuit is about something the CEO said?
The guy who owns the machine is really rich, while you are more or less (all due respect of course) not worth suing.

That’s why I think the opposite of what you claim is true: if you were to do this, absolutely nothing would happen. When they do it, they will get sued over and over until the law changes and they can’t be sued, or they enter some mutually-beneficial relationship with the parties who keep suing.
Your comment answers itself. There is no such thing as "cancer, singular". It's a catch-all term for a wide range of conditions relating to uncontrolled tissue growth.

We have gotten a lot better at treating cancer, in general, literally because we've gotten a lot better at treating specific types of cancer. There are no "broader cases", only cases of specific cancers which we've either gotten really good at treating, or which we haven't gotten really good at treating yet.
Can you compare to S3 Athena (ELI5)?
Progress in treatment isn't uniform across all cancers, but yes we are getting a lot better at it.

I'm considering using Mercury,* which is allegedly quite popular with startups. They do have all the usual KYC etc of a bank.

Like the ones discussed in the article, Mercury also keeps customer funds in Evolve, among other banks (I guess they claim to spread your money around so you don't have more thank 250K in any one basket). So if I understand correctly, the problem is that I have no visibility to the back end, so if Mercury keels over I'll have trouble getting my money?

* I used SVB for 25 years, but over the past few years their service declined and First Republic poached a lot of their good guys, so I switched to FRB. With a track record like that, perhaps Mercury should reject me?

Yea I've noted that there doesn't have to be a camera pointed at the driver... there does, however, have to be either a GPS and/or camera pointing outwards (that could be used to ID location) in order to know what the current speed limit is for the drivers given location.

So the individual privacy at risk is the privacy of not having your location at any given time being knowable to a car manufacturer/ government agency.

I think a launch this year for New Glenn is pretty much entirely off the table now (or might just barely make it in by the end of the year), they haven't even gotten to static firing the rocket yet, let alone all the work after that needed to be able to fly.

They'd have to move as fast as SpaceX without running into any trouble on their very first time lighting up the fully integrated rocket and have launch licensing paperwork already being worked through to just barely make it to a September launch. Similarly, I bet that the next Starship test won't happen before mid-September/early-October if they stick to the plan of attempting a catch.
You can't make any conclusions about LEV by just looking at current stats.

Medicine in its current form is just not prepared to deal with these things. It evolved to deal very well with infections and injuries, in both cases helping the body to heal itself, which it wants to do anyway.

Aging is different. An aging body actually wants to destroy itself. It intentionally disables self-repair mechanisms, allowing the diseases of old age to take over. It's the first time we have to override these internal goals. Treating these diseases individually, like we do now because it's the best we have to offer, is a losing game.

OpenFeature: Standardizing Feature Flagging
Independence of irrelevant alternatives doesn't seem like a desirable property to me. It suggests that someone ranking a candidate 2nd vs 100th does not tell you anything about how much they prefer their 1st choice to that candidate.

Suppose 50% of people rank Alice first, Bob 100th, and the other 50% rank Bob first, Alice 2nd. A voting system with independence of irrelevant alternatives would have to rank Alice and Bob equally (or at least it would have to rank them the same way as it would if they were the only candidates, with 50% preferring each one). But Alice is probably the better candidate - she's in everyone's top 2. The extra candidates give you information about Alice and Bob: they show that preferences for Bob are weak, and preferences for Alice are strong.
