Does ChatGPT just copy content and resell it? If it were that simple then there wouldn't be much debate and existing copyright law would be sufficient to settle the question. Also, whether or not Google is mutualistically benefiting everyone is not sufficient to answer the question of whether Google or OpenAI are violating copyright protections.
Interesting point I hadn't thought of! Had previously thought that obviously things should go straight in the ground to avoid CO2 emissions and hadn't thought about decomposition.
That works somewhat for finding uses of a native Go module, although I've seen lots of cases where the module name is autogenerated and so you need to import with an alias (protobufs, I'm looking at you). It also doesn't work quite so well in reverse -- you need to find files with `package url;`, then find instances of '\bfunc Parse\('.

Lastly, one of the bigger issues is (as aforementioned sibling commenter mentioned) the application of this principle to methods. This is especially bad with method names for established interfaces, like Write or String. Even with a LSP server, you then need to trace up the call stack to figure out what concrete types the function is being called with, then look at the definitions of those types. I can't imagine wanting to do that with only (rip)grep at my disposal.
Nice little game, and gets pretty challenging.

However, if you resize the window (I fullscreened it after 50 or o ants), the princess is no longer centered and the ants cannot reach her anymore, except those that come from the "closest" wall. Makes the game pretty easy since you only have to watch 1/4th of the screen
I think a better analogy would be OpenAI acquiring the textbook on the sly (eg. not paying a penny for it), then making it available for a small fee to anyone as a service. Then, crying about how it can't make money if it is made to pay for the original textbook.

The anarchist culture of the 1800s and 1900s in Spain, especially the emergence of anarcho-syndicalist structures [0], is certainly one of the reasons for Mondagon's existence.

The fishy part is - it is hard for any one organization to "unilaterally" kill a trial if it is legit, irb approved, etc. If it is a political situation at one institution, people often move and take their grant funding with them. Keto diet trials aren't super complicated - if UMD wanted to restructure that unit, it would be easy for the PIs to set up shop either, say, across town at an equivalent psych ward at Johns Hopkins, or even do it privately via a CRO (contract research organization), etc.
Inevitable. They launched at $40 when most of their competition is free-to-play.
From the article:

In a November 2022 post, Musk had vowed that X's new policy would be "freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter," he said, adding that such content would be unfindable "unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet."

Evidently content moderation like that is the Full Self Driving of Twitter
Somewhat related, at Xbox, Valve, PlayStation scale, what are their bandwidth costs? Presumably paying a fraction of a cloud provider charges. When AAA games are weighing in at 100GB, curious how much that costs to distribute.
I looked up that error, I don't have any experience with compiled python code, but this is interesting:

Script Error

The message you received results from an add-in loaded on your machine that has compiled Python code that will be incompatible with the next update of Fusion or is incompatible with the current version of Fusion. This message is displayed when Fusion upgrades to a newer version of Python, and add-ins compiled against the previous version will no longer work.

If the message says, "The script will not be supported in the next version.", this is a warning telling you Fusion will no longer be able to load this add-in with the next Fusion update. When you get the update and the add-in quits working, you'll need to get an updated version of the add-in from the Autodesk App Store or directly from the app developer. Unfortunately, you can't preemptively get a newer version because the new version of the add-in will not function with the current version of Fusion, you will need to wait until after the update.

If the message says, "The script is not supported in the current version.", this is an error indicating Fusion could not load the add-in. You need to get an updated version of the add-in from the Autodesk App Store or directly from the app developer. App developers are contacted to let them know they will need to update their apps to be compatible with the new Python version, and the updated apps should be available as soon as the Fusion update goes out. If an update is not available, you should contact the app developer.
App Developers

If you're a developer of an add-in for Fusion, use Python, and deliver any pre-compiled modules (.pyc files) with your add-in, this update will break your add-in. It will be broken because pre-compiled modules are tied to the version of Python used to compile them. Add-ins compiled with the current version of Python (3.7) will not be compatible with the updated Python (3.9) and will fail to load. This change DOES NOT affect any add-ins that do not deliver any pre-compiled modules and the.py source code is available. For detailed information about what you need to do to update your add-in and have it available for your customers at the time when the Fusion update goes out, see this forum post with the latest information.

Then it links to this, which is talking about Python 3.7 vs. 3.9.7, but that's from 2022: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-api-and-scripts/import...

Would you need to release the source code then? Would there be the same problem with C++? How can people develop these sorts of apps without having to release the source code?

> I've been using parametric CAD (Pro/E / Creo, Solidworks, and Onshape) for 30+ years.

True - I implemented the first Solidworks Autodimension sketch as a contractor around 2002 based upon earlier work that I'd done for a consultancy client at D-Cubed in the late 1990s. I'm sure it could be improved with AI and a large data set of sketches though.

> Solidworks tries to help with this in the form of cycling through what it thinks are the most likely constraints to remove and then re-solving the sketch. It's OK, but that sort of tool could be better.

I agree it could be better. The behavior with under-constrained sketches depends on D-Cubed's DCM, and I seem to recall they were rather floppy. It seems kind of ridiculous to make users jump through the hoops of making sketches fully constrained once they've added the constraints they care about.
A free market of cooperatives is an alternative. One might call it „cooperatism“, if it needs a term.
"Spending more time with friends and family" is not the same thing as "having kids"

I know I will regret not spending as much time with close friends as I could have - I already do. Some of them I no longer have the chance to do so. I regret not traveling more when I was younger - and I traveled A LOT! Still do. But there are some things I'll never get to experience. I'm sure I'll regret some aspects of focusing on my career.

Career and work are almost certainly not the most important aspect of your life. But that doesn't mean that you have to have kids, either, or that you'd regret not having them. I find it weird to suggest that the most meaningful form of interpersonal relationship has to be that of parent and child instead of whatever an individual finds to be the most meaningful.
Oh, I see now that if I scroll down it starts to include short videos and ads and random crap. I don't pay attention to that, probably because it's clearly nothing personally relevant to me and just lowest-common-denominator internet drivel.

Not everywhere in Brazil though. First time I saw it I was in my 30s, in Petrópolis/RJ. It took me by surprise and I almost drove into an incoming car. Luckily there was no one on my tail so I managed to reverse and turn correctly.

You are correct. In the US at least, land is dirt cheap. Transporting stuff is not cheap. For this reason, it’s common for some US states to ship garbage to other US states for disposal, simply because geographically it makes economic sense.
Is this accounting games at play?

Does "releasing it", allow them to write-off the 8-year investment as a loss (but if unreleased, they can't recognize the gain/loss)?

Just wondering if that's what's going on.
> But powerful humans are also gamed, and usually more easily than computers.

It's the "more easily" that I'd dispute. A computer can be examined in detail, its weaknesses probed ruthlessly and systematically until a vulnerability is found.

Any one human will have traits in common with others, and differences from those others. For example, your own question:

> Haven't you ever told an exec what they wanted to hear, or refrained from telling a manager something that might make you or your project look bad?

this would be a dangerous similarity, one that can be manipulated — but not universally, not all of us, and not all the time: there's people who react very negatively to such sycophancy or boasting.

> The whole lobbying apparatus is about altering the perceptions of lawmakers so that you get more favorable laws. People usually operate on fewer pieces of data than computers, and so one falsehood can alter their decision-making more than it would a computers.

Yup, absolutely. But if the software developer misses something that an outsider can learn about — this can be something that just didn't even exist at the time the developer made their choices, or just a bug they didn't spot — it can be abused in the same way.

When it comes to accidents, the USA almost started WW3 because someone forgot to account for the fact that the moon rises in the same part of the sky that a Soviet strike group would come from, and also doesn't respond to IFF pings. The Soviet union made their own mistake with sun glare.

When it comes to things outsiders learn and the original developer didn't think of, other than all bugs and exploits, consider also things like this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.07397

thats because epic store is trash, and on top of that they buy exclusives, which created a lot of hostility with customers.

I won't make an epic account, not even for free games, after they started with buying exclusives as their first move.

Thats not because valve is a monopoly or because I love valve, but because epic is actively garbage and I won't give them money.
It didn't even seem like that bad a game. The gameplay looked solid and the people who played it largely liked it despite the generic characters. I was hoping to try it sometime with the assumption that they'd eventually give up on buy to play and make it free to play. I was right about the giving up part, I guess ...
I think the US Air Force has some interesting studies on the effect of temperature on performance of pilots.
In general, the PERT longest stretch and or ideal shortest stretch of dependent events should not contain k>=3 stacking risks <=0.50.

For example, one path with best probable outcomes:

[S]->[a]->[b]->[c]->[d]->[E]

a=0.73

b=0.49

c=0.33

d=0.50

By taking the 3 lowest/riskiest key deliverables in the best case outcome:

0.49x0.33x0.50 = ~0.08 likelihood of project success

This means one should restructure the project, redefine the goal scope, or shelve the project.

People that practice this approach say "no" a lot, but the firm does survive.

Best of luck, =)
The military does produce innovations that benefit civilians though. Food products would be one thing. GPS is another.
After some initial mistakes, the Soviet system did provide basic needs. It was inefficient, badly led, conservative, repressive, ultimately undemocratic, and often produced very mediocre output (crappy houses, etc), but it ensured that everyone had food, shelter, work, healthcare, and education.

Neither full-collectivism nor full-capitalism are the final answer.

80 lines wide is the width we had back in the late 90s. Displays are nothing like that anymore. I managed to talk my team into setting the linter to something more reasonable, but individuals still feel like they're being virtuous if they stick to 80 and reformat any line they touch that goes over. It's just dogma!

Some examples:

Haskell: What's the most mind-bending Haskell concept you've encountered, and how did it change the way you think about programming?

Rust (programming language): What unique feature or aspect of Rust do you think has the potential to revolutionize the future of software development, and how has it influenced your own coding practices or projects?

univalence axiom: How do you think the principle that "equivalent things can be identified" might influence how we form relationships or solve problems in our daily lives?

perfectoid spaces: Imagine our everyday world was a mathematical landscape like a perfectoid space; how do you think it would change the way we view connections and relationships with others?

monoidal category: Imagine you could personify the elements and operations of a monoidal category into characters in a story. How would you describe the relationships and adventures of these characters, and what lessons do you think their interactions would teach about collaboration and structure?

RISC-V: Imagine RISC-V is a fictional kingdom in a fantasy novel; what unique attributes or 'magical powers' would its architecture possess compared to other kingdoms (architectures)?
NYT Bestsellers List, Hardcover Nonfiction – Lue Elizondo's Imminent at Top

When I go to the local H-mart, I am far more likely to see a parent corralling their child and getting them to behave

i don't want to claim that my experience is the norm, but this sentence in particular reminded me that my distinct first impression in china was like "boy they do let their kids here get away with anything"

add to that the reputation of the single child policy creating "little emperors" because of how parents raise their child.

but again, this is just my experience. it may well possible that this is a small minority, and that i just never saw parents corralling their children because they possibly were already effective at raising them to be well behaved.

it is also worth noting that i observed a much higher tolerance at people behaving out of the norm. (but then it is also a much rarer occurrence and it is also not considered polite to confront people)

There's likely a few settings that you'll have to update on the sections. If the page is a block layout the width of the navbar and container should be auto (to fill the page).

I'm just left wondering who would volunteer to make their sites easier to scrape. The trend has been the opposite with more and more sites trying to keep LLM scrapers out, whether by politely asking them to go away via robots.txt or proactively blocking their requests entirely.

Nvrhi: Nvidia Rendering Hardware Interface
We already do lots of rendering to cached images. It's not a panacea. It saves you from unnecessary recomputing. But many actions update the rendered state per-frame. Zooming is a great example. You can't cache it at every resolution.

Maybe there's a way and we didn't find it? We looked at every example we could find. There's a lot of canvas apps without WebGL. But they're all orders of magnitude behind the Figma benchmark. Everything not using WebGL felt noticeably less smooth.

Hi. I’m that consultant.

Two effects combine to create this reality:

1) Ass-covering. If Important Manager makes a Big Decision based on his own wits, they are risking their own judgement being revealed as less than what is expected from their position. If they can point at a “reputable” outside party, then they can claim that “even expert advice was unable to see this coming, so shouldn’t be expected to either.” They can’t get this kind of protection by listening to subordinates because even if they’re right, they have no reputation.

2) Hunter-gatherer tribe dynamics. We’re barely more than strategically shaved apes in suits, genetically speaking. The last ten thousand years of civilisation is a blip in evolutionary terms and hasn’t changed our behaviour much at all. Big important alpha male leader can’t be seen to accept advice from subordinates! That would not be “leadership” and would undermine their position in the tribe as a trusted elder. This makes all humans in such positions (but especially older men) incredibly resistant to even the most blindingly obvious advice if it comes from someone younger in the same group. External guidance is not subject to the same social constraints and is often accepted.

I’ve seen both of these play out over and over, separately and in combination. It’s my job to talk to the junior underlings, collect their complaints, and then present it to their manager so they can have an acceptable source for the same advice.

It’s nuts, but it is what is is, and I don’t expect it to change for 50K years or more. Evolution is slow and human nature is wired into us deep.
