I really don't see that. What will happen is fights between those who have the most resources to commit to copy-protection schemes where users and developers will always lose. There will be zero free software (in either definition of the word "free") voluntarily published because it will be immediately assimilated into big corporation's big codebases and nothing will ever be given back.
Thanks for sharing your story. TBH, if I hadn’t also had my single strange experience with psychedelics I probably wouldn’t have believed it. I know when I describe my own mushrooms story, sometimes I can sense a discomfort from certain listeners, as if their default impression is “this sounds like crazy shit”. Others just kind of get it.
The big question underlying this kind of analogy: are the spectra of visible things (EM) and the spectra of mechanically vibrating things similar? Naively, I'd say no, so this is yet another fun but ultimately arbitrary mapping which people endlessly invent to make music. Is it deeper than I think at first glance?
My mostly remote tech company has unlimited PTO. I'm on track for 8 weeks this year, like last year. I've found more than 8 weeks to be stressful because I still have to get things done. It's definitely one of the reasons I'm sticking around for now.

> The real security flaw is extracting a value from a process's own memory to identify what the process is. If you want a secure way to identify what a process is and where it came from, that needs to be a new feature in the OS.

How would that help? After all, even if this info comes from the OS, the decision logic still lives in your process's memory which the parent process still has full access to.

A bit on the other side of the argument, I use grep plus find plus some shell work to do source code analysis for security reviews. grep doesn't really understand the syntax of languages, and that is mostly OK.

I've used this technique on auditing many code bases including the C family, perl, Visual Basic, C# and SQL.

With this sort of tool, I don't need to look for language-particular parsers--so long as the source is in a text file, this works well.

Since you appear curious, here is some information.

The voice always speaks in the same tone.

Predictions are usually something I want to do or am planning to do. Plans it usually tells me as soon as they are conceived. Predictions come often when I am making plans, it tells me whether they will work or not.

HOWEVER, to answer your question, such an exercise could be totally futile as in actuality it changes its mind a lot. Sometimes it tells me something I intend to do won't work, without divulging why. I try it anyway and it kinda works, and I figure out why the point of failure. I fix it, and now the voice tells me it will work now, making the initial prediction kind of moot.

Sometimes something happens and something the voice initially thought was a great idea it now says will be an absolute failure. By that time I am often committed so I tell it there's no choice now, we can only keep going, and it kinda agrees and we do the thing anyway. Sometimes the voice is just plain wrong about things.

The predictions aren't so much predictions as they are opinions. Also, studying it with too hard a lens seems to bring out the worse in the condition, so I avoid it.

We moved our techdoc from asciidoc to markdown to make it more accessible to devs writing docs.

Yeah, but the problem with that is EPIC isn’t great on Linux, the licenses aren’t portable, and the stores can increase their fees at will once they gain market position.

In fact, if you become market leader for AAA it would arguably be your duty to shareholders to put it up to 30%

Consumers don’t actually want to be in the business of dealing with many different systems to minimise their costs in these sorts of markets.

Steam are predictable and are yet to dick me. Can’t say that about many companies having dealt with them for 20 years after regular consumption.
Sorry, but the landing page is a bit dull. I think you need a video showing a live demo of the product.
I am conflicted. I love Valve, but 30% seems like a lot. On the other hand, I doubt the developers are being charged for the bandwidth or for Steam platform integration. Which means that long after the developer has walked away with their money for the sale Steam is still providing licensing management, platform integration in the form of user management, and the bandwidth for every time the user redownloads the game at 0 cost to the user.

While that fee may seem high, the developers are in someways subsidizing other developers that could never afford to build and maintain that infrastructure. They're also reducing the friction and on-ramping of new players/users. They are also providing the payment processing and handling billing/chargeback resolution.

Just the merchant fees alone would be would be 2-4% of revenue (not including losses to chargebacks and fraud/risk controls). The raw cost of bandwidth usage would be ~2 cents per 12GB game download (not including infrastructure to host/facilitate the amount of simultaneous downloads). The staff to manage billing issues/refunds. The raw amounts are small, but not insignificant considering that for every $20 they collect on a AAA title there are several indie games getting all the same functionality which only nets Valve $2.

Valve, Epic, Playstation, Xbox. The platforms are providing the ecosystem and platform that has allowed gaming to flourish at incredible rates, outpacing the motion picture industry and the sport industry.
> There is no value without labor.

Plausible.

But there is very little value without tools. In fact, one could argue that all material progress has been in the form of better and better tools. One person with a combine beats 100 people with sickles.

Those tools are necessary for almost all of the value that labor produces.

So if we want those tools, in the real world we need to pay the producer of those tools. (Or make them ourselves, which is possible, but runs into division-of-labor issues.) The people who manufacture combines aren't a charity; they want to receive the value of their work too.

And unless the farmer (or custom cutter) has the money to buy the combine, then there's a third party in the situation - the capitalist, the person who provides the money to buy the tools that will give the increased productivity. That person usually isn't a charity, either. They need to get some return on their money.

But the place where I at least partly agree is this: The worker who knows how to use the tools is deserves at least part of the value provided by using the tool. The tool-maker deserves part of the value; the capitalist deserves part of the value; and the worker also deserves part of the value. (If you don't like the word "deserves", well, without all three parties, the value isn't produced, and none of the three are charities, so if we want the value, we need to give them part of the returns.)

And currently, you can make a very solid case that the worker is getting the short end of the stick. I can't buy "the worker deserves it all". No, the worker does not. But I can agree that workers deserve more than they're getting.

(In the cases where the workers either make their own tools or have the money to buy them, this argument breaks down. But in an industrialized society, that seems to be the exception, not the rule.)

We've looked over this essay a few times and we can relate. Rendering text is not for the faint of heart :)
I think it may be harder than you're leading on. Figma has put an awful lot of work into it's vector rendering system. They have state of the art compositing, strokes, fills, shadows, and importantly boolean operations on vectors that basically no other library has done correctly. When building a vector rendering tool you have to worry about all of these 2d path problems like fill rules, corner radiis, and path direction that are very complicated to work out. Figma also has best in class shape builders, and this proprietary drawing solution called vector networks which is, eh, kind of cool.

But they've done all of this work to get this far and have basically abandoned their pen tool before it was able to be used as an actual tool for drawing. It has all of the underlying technical aspects worked out but it is a UI nightmare to use—it's painfully user unfriendly and doesn't have a curvature tool, an easy way to edit/delete nodes, etc. It has such great potential, and is so close, but Figma has chosen to go another direction.

Anyways, the only rendering engine that I am aware of that rivals Figma's is Google's Skia (which in turn is the renderer for Canvas itself in most browsers I believe) but it's 20+ years old & painfully low level.

You could theoretically do whatever you want on Skia and port it to wasm to get it into the browser, but it doesn't itself have any tools that you'd want for drawing, or creating anything that looks anything like CSS/HTML.

Literally the second someone releases something high level enough in this area I am going to build an animation library on top of it. I've had the desire to build a library that could programmatically create and edit vectors for a decade now, but there's still nothing easy enough to work with to incentivize me.

Profits belong to the people who create them, not to people who used to work at the same company in the past. Expecting future employees of a company to work for ex-employees in the future is unfair. Having worked for a company, doesn’t entitle anyone to remain on the paycheck until death, despite not working there anymore.
I wonder what kind of people would read an epub in a terminal.
In other words: `busybox` is primarily an implementation of a _standard library_ and only secondarily a command line tool, so it _must_ use the standard names.

Okay, but how do you find out that this program may dynamically load libcrypt which it doesn't mention in its PT_DYNAMIC for some silly reason or another? Because if you already know that, then you just put "RUN apt install -y openssl" in your Dockerfile which is easy. It's finding out that you need to do that that's hard.

It's interesting to read about Mondragon in more detail. I just came across the term in Kim Stanley Robinson's solar-system sci-fi epic "2312." The book (highly recommended) heavily references Mondragon; that's the name for the alliance / co-op of all of the planets and settlements that aren't Earth or Mars.
This is absolutely true, but it does have to be weighed against the performance benefits of something that doesn't require invoking an LLM to operate.

If the cost of updating some xPath things every now and then is relatively low - which I guess means "your target site is not actively & deliberately obfuscating their website specifically to stop people scraping it"), running a basic xPath scraper would be maybe multiple orders of magnitude more efficient.

Using LLMs to monitor the changes and generate new xPaths is an awesome idea though - it takes the expensive part of the process and (hopefully) automates it away, so you get the benefits of both worlds.
Copyright as it says in the title concerns with copying, and does not confer rights to restrict automated analysis and statistical modeling. I think the trend against copyright coincides with the growth of internet. We moved from long form, passive consumption - books, movies, TV and radio - to games, social networks, search engines - generally interactive formats where there is no compensation for copying. We create our own content. LLMs are squarely in the interactive camp. Copyright was fit to the passive consumption model, but now it is standing in a precarious position facing the future. It is ineffective against internet and AI.

Would branch coverage have helped you here?

And I think one of the approaches that helped me to write safer code is to parse, and not validate.

That way drastically limit the situations we can get into where we forget to validate certain conditions.

e.g. you have a User struct, and you want to do an action which requires you to validate whether the user is an admin.

2 options here

* validate whether the user is an admin (which could happen multiple times when you're invoking distinct functions as part of a workflow)

* parse the User into an AdminUser. If the user is an admin, the function will work, and then you can pass on your new struct into places that require an admin. If it fails, the user is not an admin. Now you have merged all your checks into 1 place.

Fair use depends very heavily on the nature of the use.

A key part of Google's defense was that not only was it not using the entire books to reproduce the entire book, but also that it was taking measures to prevent people from abusing Google's systems to reproduce an entire book. It's a lot of work to emphasis that the impact on the market (in other words, the fourth factor) is as minimal as practicable--and that's the crux of the analysis.

When you're instead scanning someone's stock image database to build a tool to generate stock images... the fourth factor is jumping up and down screaming at you "YOU LOSE" and your best defense is that it's not the training, it's the tool built on the training data that is infringing the copyright.
Not 100% sure I agree.

You can distribute anything you want; as long as it's a web-app.

Nobody is running random .exe's in 2024; but you have random, arbitrary, untrusted code that runs in heaps and has access to the GPU via websites.

You have the same constraints we do, except it's easier to make a web application for dating, jobs, food, payments - than it is to do high-poly AAA games.

Adult will still have time to watch netflix, youtube or tiktok, read books, engagement bait on twitter etc.

What these games are competing against is not "free time" but any block of 15min that would go to another activity.

The surprising thing is that PC is an open platform where people could compete with Steam on even terms if they actually did it well. Gamers don't like installing 5 different game launchers and Steam is the oldest one with all their games and is mostly a neutral party.

I recently installed Playnite [1], an open source game library manager and its been incredible. It pulls in games from all launchers/sources and gives you a unified library. I think all it would take to bring down Steam prices is for studios to adopt one such project but they are too blindsided by the ambition to have their own platform. You still have to do all the downloads,licensing etc. but the fact that it's a unified launcher for all stores is enough for me to prefer it over others.

They have essentially lost all ad income driven by Brazilian users. I'd say that's quite a bit of leverage. Furthermore, SpaceX have had local assets frozen. That seems like some leverage to me.

This really doesn't reflect the actual structure of Western music for those without absolute pitch (the vast majority of people). Instead, it's pretty much just relations that matter between pitches which makes things way more difficult to visualize. Mixing red and blue gives you a different color than red and green, but A-C is pretty much the same as Bb-Db, they're both minor thirds.

If you want to analyze it algorithmically, you probably need to start looking at topology or something so that you can correctly relate musical structures in a way that is resistant to transposition.
I was struck by the comparison between audio spectra and image spectra. Image spectra have a strong power law effect, but audio spectra have more power in middle bands. Why? One part of the issue is that the visual spectrum is very narrow (just 1 order of magnitude from red to blue) compared to audio (4 orders of magnitude from 20Hz to 20kHz).

But another issue not mentioned in the article is that in images we can zoom in/out arbitrarily. So the width of a pixel can change – it might be 1mm in one image, or 1cm in another, or 1m or 1km. Whereas in audio, the “width of a pixel” (the time between two audio samples) is a fixed amount of time – usually 1/44.1kHz, but even if it’s at a different sample rate, we would convert all images to have the same sample rate before training an NN. The equivalent of this for images would be rescaling all images so that a picture of a cat is say 100x100 pixels, while a picture of a tiger is 300x300.

Which, come to think of it, would be potentially an interesting thing to do.
I don't think I am. I think you're having a hard time understanding that people may see your point and still disagree with it.

In reality, a significant portion is exported to developing countries, where it often ends up mismanaged. Claiming developed countries handle "almost all" of their plastic waste without acknowledging this export is detracting from wrongdoings me and you bear responsibility for as citizens of relatively free and open democratic societies. It is not somehow misleading. It is morally reprehensible.
