I think that is most closer to my position.

In my mind, the government is a heavy hammer, backed by lethal force. As such, it should be used sparingly to prevent concrete damages, enforce laws, and enforce property rights.

If a person or company is causing people real harm, that should be actionable by the government. If they are poisoning someone or killing their land, that is well within the remit.

Inversely, the government should not be a tool for optimizing society, or increasing the subjective efficiency or morality.

Government is a powerful tool, but that doesnt mean it the right tool for everything. Restraint and respecting other people's autononomy is a difficult skill to lean when you have the power to simply force compliance and "know" you are right.

I was arguing against what seemed in your comment like you were saying that touchscreen keyboards were a progression from physical ones, and then from touchscreen ones a progression to AR/VR.

I agree that pane-of-glass, non-reactive and non-tactile input is unnatural, but AR and VR are literally that turned up to 1000. Doing the zoom finger-pinch in midair is even less natural than doing it on a glass screen.

Perfect Output is the first in a category of printer features that HP will call HP Print AI. Yes, it's part of the AI marketing hype currently overwhelming tech users (don't shoot the messenger!). According to HP's Tuesday announcement, Perfect Output is supposed to make it easier to print things off of web browsers (like articles, travel documents, and tutorials) and spreadsheets in a cleaner, more natural-looking way.

One could use Perfect Output to quickly fix image sizes and remove ads and white space when printing something off a website, HP says as an example.

I made a commitment about four year ago to stop printing so much and move to iPad and keeping things digital. So far it's been great, have printed maybe less than 50 pages in those four years; if that. Do people really need to print things? Maybe I am naive but why don't we focus the next five years on printing LESS. A LOT less.

It would be very hard to profit from that? Because at most people would read few books a month. How much would they pay for it? Competition is literally libraries for free. Music or Movies dont't have free competitors. There would be long term tech cost, 100s of employees and all. The math is very hard even for long term.
It returns 2.

The only reason that might be surprising is that the "return *p;" statement refers to the value of an object at a point (textually) before its definition. But the lifetime of the object named "v" begins on entry to the innermost compound statement enclosing its definition -- in this case the body of "main".

Space for "v" is allocated on entry to "main". It's initialized to 1 when its definition is reached. The "return *p;" statement appears before the definition of "v" in the program source, but is executed after its definition was reached at run time, and within its lifetime.

It's important to remember that scope and lifetime are two different things.
The scope of an identifier is the region of program text in which the identifier is visible; for "v" it extends from the definition to the closing "}". The lifetime of an object is the time span during execution in which it exists; for "v" it extends from the time when execution reaches the opening "{" to the time when execution reaches the closing "}". Formally, storage for "n" is allocated at the beginning of its lifetime and deallocated at the end of its lifetime. Compilers can and do optimize allocation and deallocation, as long as the visible behavior is consistent.

Aside: If "v" were a VLA (variable length array, introduced in C99, made optional in C11) its lifetime would begin when execution reaches its definition.

I know at least the brands of NTSC units like this I had the misfortune of using that did not retain the line 21 data, so I'd be shocked if teletext was preserved. I could at least see some adventurous attempt of a VHS->DVD unit attempting to translate to embedded 601 captions to the MPEG streams. I guess that was way beyond the scope of what most users of these devices would want/need.
It might be technically true, but I don't think it would be true in practice. The difference is that:

- Technically true means you will probably win any lawsuit they bring

- In practice means that they will in fact bring a lot of lawsuits, making it very expensive for you and difficult for you to operate. They will probably find excuses to harass you over every little thing, they will harass you over lots of details that are technically required but rarely enforced in practice. You'll constantly be getting inspected and audited, they will bring lawsuits for other, apparently unrelated things.
Unluckily, that means there's no physical check on it to prompt you to stop like physical media has.

Yes. Your intellectual labor to the maximum degree possible will be exploited by "AI" companies who are anything but.

This is repackaging content, laundering it, and reselling it.

As others have noted, IP law has lots of problems; Sam Altman et al are exploiting the gap left between the speed of technology and law and using their own version of social good without waiting for the consent of those they're exploiting.
Especially since, as another top comment put it, ECH only gives privacy benefits if the serving IP is serving multiple domains.

Canada has the same problem with building icebreakers.

The problem with icebreakers capable of dealing with multi-year ice is that they're a very expensive and specialized kind of ship that's hard to construct, but also the sort of ship that has a very long lifetime. Only a few governments in the world have any need of such ships, and they typically only need a few in the span of many decades.

By the time Canada got around to looking for new icebreakers, not a single shipyard in the country had made one in many decades. Ordering a ship from someplace foreign that had actually made one recently would be cheaper than trying to make one domestically. However, then shipyards that haven't made an icebreaker for twenty years would become shipyards that haven't made one for forty years.

It really would make a lot of sense for close allies like Canada and the U.S. to collaborate on building icebreakers.
This comment gutted me, lmao.
> always means worse for some.

Can't agree. Say, when a new treatment emerges for a disease that was affecting some part of the population, it's better for the cured, and not any worse for all others.

Even simpler, at the very foundation of daily life: when two people willingly exchange something, they are both better off, by their subjective measures, else they would have done that. This applies not only to exchanging goods for money, but even to exchanging friendly smiles.

If all life were a zero-sum game, the world would never progress to its current state.

MySQL can be faster in certain circumstances (mostly range selects), but only if your schema and queries are designed to exploit InnoDB’s clustering index.

But even then, in some recent tests I did, Postgres was less than 0.1 msec slower. And if the schema and queries were not designed with InnoDB in mind, Postgres had little to no performance regression, whereas MySQL had a 100x slowdown.

I love MySQL for a variety of reasons, but it’s getting harder for me to continue to defend it.

Libgen was ultimately a workaround to an endemic industry issue. Ideally all of the US folk here get a bill running to get better consumer rights for the media we consume, so we wouldn't have to run into such invasive DRM that can render your purchase unusable.

Not much to do about the cost though. Textbooks specifically can charge this much because the target is education, not the layman.
The developed world is unable to compete on a level playing field against other countries when taking into consideration potentially enormous subsidies or developing world labor costs. Protectionism, when implemented strategically, can reduce these counterparty advantages. Investment is also a component, but they both work in concert to arrive at a desired outcome. And I think that’s really where this problem lies, that we’re arguing about protectionism versus investment, when we should be identifying what the desired outcome is and then, based on an inventory of all of the policy and capital allocation tools that we have available to us, implement what is needed to arrive at the desired outcome. We don’t want to sacrifice innovation (which calls for mechanisms to prevent companies from leaning too far towards entrenched interests vs innovators), but we also don’t want to run a race we cannot win because we unnecessarily handicap ourselves in an inherently unfair and unequal global market.

I am not a terribly smart person, and I don’t have all the answers, but I would argue it’s clear what we’ve done so far isn’t working, based on all available evidence.

Its interesting how first impressions can be so deceiving. The world's largest private space agency (SpaceX) has completely changed the game in rural internet connectivity. Once upon a time, large chunks of the US had no reliable high speed internet. SpaceX has brought high-speed low-latency internet to every corner of the globe, even the middle of the ocean and Antarctica. This isn't going nowhere even if it seems that way.
This is great and I think is the way to go.

> I can see lots of failures - space stuff is hard - but why so many things exceeding it?

The design lifetime is treated as a minimum acceptable value; a vehicle which was designed to last 10 years but has a critical component fail at 9.5 would be considered a failure, for instance. This means that the average lifespan of the vehicle gets pushed out a lot further to ensure it meets its goals.

With that being said, it's not uncommon for space vehicles to reach end-of-life for reasons other than a system failure - one common one being that a satellite or space probe runs out of propellant. Since the underlying mechanism there is predictable, rather than a random failure, there's much less margin needed.
Most of my VR time is in Beat Saber -- I'd have occasional, quite distracting frame drops with a 5600X that have completely gone away with a relatively cheap upgrade to a 5700X3D.

I'd personally argue that smoothing out outlier frametimes is not a small performance bump! As an engineer I care a lot about tail latency for services, and I feel like tail latency ends up being even more critical for high-fidelity gaming experiences like VR.
When it comes to SQL, I will often write a SELECT with very explicit search (WHERE) criteria for this very reason. Then copying that statement, commenting the original, and pasting to change into an UPDATE or DELETE statement seems to be a technique that works well for me. The SELECT tells me exactly what I'm going to UPDATE or DELETE, and once I have that, changing the syntax is very minimal. In the case of an ORM, you might have to write a tool that only listens on LOCALHOST to run these statements first.
I've written numerous technical articles and had to publish them in particular journals for academic promotion/retention reasons, and almost universally the (paid) editors (not the working for free other academic reviewers) added negative value: they introduced errors and I had to spend hours of unnecessary time trying to catch these newly introduced errors, and even then tonnes remained. I distribute the preprints (that paid editors didn't get their hands on) because they're much less error- and typo-ridden then the official published versions.

Anyway, I've got a new list of publishers I'll never publish with, nor use anything they publish as required reading for a class I teach.
Thanks for another polite response! I think this is the fundamental misunderstanding:

What assets were gifted, exactly? ...It's currently a useless appendage and will never have any real power or resources until either OpenAI is in the black and sending profit up to it, or they can sell OpenAI shares.

The charity will gift its control of a $100B company for some undisclosed "minority stake" (via a complex share dilution scheme), in exchange for nothing other than "the people we're gifting it to have promised to do good with it". It's really that simple. The charity never was intended to draw profit from the for-profit, and the "never have any real power" contention is completely inaccurate -- they have direct, sole control over the whole enterprise.

This restructuring opens the way for the nonprofit to sell its shares and it's going to be a hell of a lot of money to dedicate towards their mission

Even putting aside the core issue above (they won't have many shares to sell), the second part of my comment comes back here: what would they buy with all that money? Anthropic? Their explicit mission is to beat for-profit firms in the race to AGI so convincingly that an arms race is avoided. How could they possibly accomplish this after gifting/selling away control of the most capable AI system on the planet?

Finally, one tiny side point:

Courts are very strict in their interpretation of what "unrelated business income" is and the for-profit LLC protects the non-profit's tax exempt status.

I'm guessing you're drawing on much more direct experience than I am and I don't question that, but this seems like a deceptive framing. Normal charities have no issues with unrelated business income, because they don't run "trades or businesses", they just spend their money. I know that selling ChatGPT subscriptions is a large income source, but it's far from the only way to pursue their mission -- and is wildly insufficient, anyway. They in no way were forced to do it to meet their obligations.

Again, I'm a noob, so I'll cite the IRS-for-dummies page on the topic for onlookers: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/unrelated-business...
What I find fascinating is that people in this thread and elsewhere are saying that Matt funds the WordPress.org servers personally.
Also, plenty of locations where cooling is free.

This will make AI OpEx almost negligible.

In line with OpenAI's premise of making intelligence very cheap.

Only issue but not a big one is latency, i.e. Starlink will become extremely valuable in the upcoming years.
I don't know the implementation details, but it should be doable in a way that degrades back into encrypted DNS where at least you get rid of a MitM.
Someone else already mentioned that making sure that the 2 servers have different owners may help, but if people are after you it's probably not enough.

I'm thinking that maybe I'd like to be able to avoid mentioning the server I'm interested on, and simply send a hash of it (you can cut a prefix such that a bunch of matches are found, but not too many)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Stokes

> Stokes bequeathed her son Michael Metelits the entire tape collection, with no instructions other than to donate it to a charity of his choice. After considering potential recipients, Metelits gave the collection to the Internet Archive one year after Stokes's death. Four shipping containers were required to move the collection to Internet Archive's headquarters in San Francisco, a move that cost her estate $16,000. It was the largest collection they had ever received. The group agreed to digitize the volumes, a process expected to run fully on round-the-clock volunteers, costing $2 million and taking 20 digitizing machines several years to complete. As of April 2019, the project is still active.

> after an experience I had with Best Buy a couple of years ago, I wouldn't trust any business not to defraud me (or at least, not to put me in a position where I need to dispute a charge).

I wonder if that's really true.

Suppose you're making a modest monetary donation to a charity you've been volunteering at for years. You're not even expecting anything in return and the charity is operated by your best friend who would refund the money if you simply asked.

Suppose you're buying a car. You've signed a contract to buy it and owe the money regardless of which payment method you now use for the down payment. Doing a chargeback doesn't get you out of the contract. If the car isn't as described you would have to sue them and then if you won the court would order them to refund your money regardless of which payment method you used. Also, if there are problems you might not discover them within the chargeback window anyway.

Suppose you're paying for lunch at a cafe. You've already eaten the food by the time the check comes. You know whether you were satisfied with it or not before you transfer the money.

Do you really need a percentage to go to a payment processor and to pay higher prices to cover chargeback fraud just to buy the ability to do a chargeback in these cases?

Meanwhile Best Buy would still accept Visa but the price to use it would be a few percent higher than the alternative and then you get to decide if you want to pay extra for the insurance or not.
Looks very flood-prone
Is there a difference betwixt treating supposition as implicit fact and deliberate misinformation?
It is something that is funny to me. By the time VHS camcorders came out, 8mm film cameras were much smaller. Almost point-n-shoot sizes. Then VHS came out with the shoulder mount bricks. It took forever for VHS-C palmcorders to make them much more portable.

Really depends. Worst thing you can do as a hacker is have a brand. Anything more than "that guy who did X" is putting you as a flight risk for corporate.

You can't put a face or even handle on yourself, ideally. But that's all social media is these days.
> Frontend tooling isnt worth that much.

Is any tooling worth that much, really? I think the key is that backend tooling lends itself to selling hosted solutions, while frontend tooling is usually stuff you run locally or on CI to build artifacts. Sure, there are exceptions, but most people don't pay for developer-focused software anymore, at least not directly.
So do you believe that any behavior should be prohibited?

Do you think sales of raw milk, which have been known to cause listeria outbreaks when people drink from an unsafe batch, should simply force labels of "this milk may be unsafe" or do you think that should be prohibited?

Do you think rhino horn should be legal to sell with the label of "this likely came from poached animals"?

Because the BBC might actually be interested in plugging holes in their own archive.
Because claims that one singular concept or idea can explain pretty much everything in life have, historically, been quite false. Worse, such claims tend to attract people who like to have one simple solution for everything, or like to have one single thing that's root of all evil, or like to have one simple explanation for everything, etc. The damage such people can incur, especially when equipped with a grandiose enough concept, have (again, historically) been quite incredible.
That is a really problematic question to ask. Because remember, Automattic is not the Foundation or the open source project...

so then the question becomes "Why is the Foundation/project hamstringing a competitor to their director's for profit company who is, in theory, and legally should be, independent?"
