By the time I was old enough to work, I had recorded dozens of my own songs and made countless websites for fun. I made computer graphics and learned tons about computers and could fix them for all my friends and family. These were all forms of "work", valuable to others (to varying degrees), and I received zero payment for any of that. People like to do things, particularly things that benefit those they care about. Not everyone is like that, but we don't actually really need everyone to be like that, IMO.
> I know that's what those are supposed to mean, but that's not how the average poster on social media seems to use it.

This applies for every single word, average poster on social media are dumb. Toxic masculinity is similarly misused etc.
It's not understandable if there was no valid basis for "on notice" nbthe first place.

"on notice" for what? "on notice" for not doing something you're not obligated to do?

I never once washed your car, despite being on notice about it for 5 years...
This is an engagement boosting technique that is popular on social media too, a.k.a. comment baiting. It was commonly used in 2003 on TikTok.
There is a written version of this called "cloze sentences".

One of my teachers would distribute cloze notes before each lecture. Then it was up to follow along, and fill in the blanks. Or, jump ahead if we felt confident, without the classroom atmosphere of "let's see who knows this first!"

She also used humorous props and catch-phrases. Introduce the prop, explain its meaning, return to the prop and repeat the catch phrase, and pretty soon, the whole class is chanting along with it.

It was an adult class, an introduction to a complex and philosophical topic, and we ran through it in a few weeks. She did not omit Powerpoints with animations.
Redot Engine: A Fork of the Godot Engine
I've read the arguments, but those arguments apply equally to the AGPL, which would not be approved by the OSI today. SSPL has no field of use restrictions, it simply has restrictions that require viral open sourcing.

And there's nothing slanderous about pointing out that, yeah, Amazon pays out a significant portion of the OSI's entire operating budget. (edit: Actually FWIW, Amazon is apparently not currently on the Sponsors page... maybe they didn't renew this year. But they used to be at the top.)
ladies and gentlemen, this is a perfect example of the word-by-word interpretation I was talking about in another subthread:) The SSPL is a perfectly sensible license, the only thing it does wrong is to stop SaaS exploitation of software. As the GP said, the OSI is mostly funded by hyperscalers, it's in their vested interests to keep the status quo.

Field-of-use restrictions are certainly a useful tool in fighting open source exploitation, and the blanket disallowal of them just plays into the hands of Amazon and whatnot, allowing them to massively profit off everyone else's work.

Also, note that the OSI doesn't even follow their own definition by the letter! I quote,

Section 13 is very obviously intended to be a restriction against the field of endeavor of offering the software as a service, and thus not in compliance with OSD #6. I don't see how you can change this while maintaining the intent of your license, which is indeed to specifically encumber vendors other than MongoDB who engage in that field of endeavor.

So they are basically arguing that a restriction in the license is intended to stop hyperscalers, not that it actually restricts the usage of software in any field! The conflict of interest is blatantly obvious here...
It was a legal term.

For non-Germans: it's a (now colloquial) term for stealing in low quantities and out of direct necessity for your own/your family's survival. In that it alleviates the "base motives" part of the crime.
An interesting thing about labor disputes like this is they're presented as quasi-political stories, where people eagerly argue "for" or "against" the union or corp as though they were political parties or philosophical camps or something.

But as with most economics, it doesn't really matter what you think is fair, or who has the best justification. These are simply economic forces testing each other, and whichever is strongest will prevail.

People in the US are so accustomed to working class people being universally disempowered that we find it perverse and "upside down" that some workers could actually have the economic force to make demands and have them met. Meanwhile employers routinely make arbitrary demands and have them met. It doesn't even occur to anyone to argue about them, because it's recognized that employers simply have the power to demand whatever they want from their employees, and that this is natural and reasonable.
This isn't "quite expert-level in terms of symbolic reasoning" in the same way as a soapbox isn't "quite a formula 1"
It depends on the state. Some seem to love them (coughFloridacough) and others dislike them.

Afaik, most of them are vestigial instruments left over from master planned development financing, that gave the developers X years of voting control in order to recoup some part of their investment.

> But the slop tide threatens some of the key functions of the web, clogging search results with nonsense, overwhelming small institutions like Clarkesworld, and generally polluting the already fragile information ecosystem of the internet.

Forget the hype. The real achievement of AI will be to destroy the internet, at least the Wikipedia-esqe mode of pseudonymous online collaboration producing serviceable and easily-accessible knowledge at a low price. Silicon Valley will destroy its most successful creation.

If we're lucky, we'll return to reprise of a pre-1995 information ecosystem, run by very offline in-person contacts where personal reputation keeps the slop in check.
Don't do this. A friend did this to me, and after listening to it, I suddenly realized it was AI vomit. My friend wasted an hour of my attention, and I didn't appreciate it.
> Given that there's only 174 qubytes of storage (72376 qubits total - 6986 qubits ancilla - 64Kqb screen) it's clear that almost the entire world state is in the series of gates rather than in qubits. So, like, the wall locations are probably implicit in the series of instructions rather than being data-driven, so you wouldn't be able to make a wall that was in a superposition of two places.

I'm also wondering how much of the computation is really ... quantum? I.e. is anything in superposition, phase shifted, entangled, etc.?

This looks to me like it's entirely relying on reversible classical logic gates. Impressive! But not quantum computing on its own.
If anything shows the great failure of the church of economics, it's this attitude. "Everything has a monetary value".

Here's a clue to those in denial: economics can only value things in the past and the present, and only in approximation, and only in human terms of immediate utility.

Because economics CANNOT properly value virtually anything that has not yet occurred. Accounting systems may exist for it and of course they are the favorite of the cooked book. The faith that the free market is some vastly hyperintelligent entity that exceeds the power of human cognition.

Of course human perception of reality is fundamentally flawed, even for those with heavy scientific training in the compromises our senses and psychology make to perceive the world. And yet economics treats the flawed everyday idiot as some ultrapowerful computational unit of valuation of reality. Of course, that is dogma.

What is the economic value of a recently extinct species? What is the economic value of a non-acidic ocean? What is the economic value of the continued operation of oxygen-producing microorganisms in the ocean?

What is the value of the human race if it goes extinct?

The core of the problem is the function of money and monetary value: it has an essential component of whitewashing virtually all environmental impacts and damage, as well as human misery, inflicted in the generation of the "currency number". Once the "currency number" has been "earned", the sociopathy involved in the generation is blessed by the church of economics as a completely forgiven sin: because the money is the only point, a tautological pursuit.

What oil executive, car executive, politician, industrialist, coal mining executive will every face the music for their environmental sins? Because they have been immediately pardoned from the confessional booth of the limited liability corporation.

One of my prayers for cryptocurrency was a way of creating a currency that could somehow devalue these fortunes of destruction once their true macabre consequences became apparent, but it would just be another farm of energy-sucking servers, and lets face it, the damage is mostly done at this point.

So, rant aside, it doesn't FUCKING MATTER WHAT THE DOLLAR FIGURE IS IF WE GO EXTINCT. Dollars don't exist without humans, and humans don't exist without a functional biosphere. The cost is Infinite Floating Point Overflow. It is NaN.
Just my thought. I think to be actually useful, the model needs to allow the user to customize the flow of conversation to some extent.

In its current version, this causes so much cultural dissonance that it’s very difficult for me to listen.

At least to me the “hosts” appear to actively signal lack of competence in the field they are talking about.

Given that they are generated that is off course nonsense.
When the nerd wiseguy answers anyway, he/she doesn't actually want to disrupt the teacher's flow, he/she finds the ten seconds of complete silence awkward and wants to move on to the next thing.

Seriously, it was so annoying to have to participate in the charade. I put a paperback in my pencil case, but some teachers took it personally if I read during class, and it's absolute torture to have to listen to a disengaged group stumble through an answer to a question like this with your full attention on the front of the class. As an adult nobody tries to teach you using question and answer for anything that requires more time than a first aid certificate because they know damn well that you'll leave and/or pull out your phone.

Another way to think about this: if the only point of the program is to print the output, why not just serialize, or pipeline only one request past the current one?

Or you could just use a sync.WaitGroup and not print anything until all the results are in, which is what the proposed design does anyways in the case where an early request is the slowest to resolve.

Hey OP, if you ever plan to turn this into a kit for sale for <$2000-ish I'd be highly interested.

I'm sick and tired of microscopic cameras like the RPi "HQ" camera being called HQ. I come from photography land and a full 35mm-ish sensor is the minimum of what I'd call HQ.

Oh nice. I feel like so many things affect my sleep including diet, mood, how long it’s been since I doom scrolled. I wonder if any of that can help you investigate.
Disappointing and astonishing it is, how much of post-hoc rationalization, memory-holing, wishful thinking and general newspeak was squeezed into that post.

Try taking organic chemistry. The professor would show up early and fill three blackboards with synthesis reactions. It was then a race to keep up for the next 50 minutes.
Would be really useful to have some way to hear the translated sentences so that you can also learn how it's supposed to be said - would be very useful for learning Japanese.

Really? Can you even copyright a font? As far as I know, fonts can't be copyrighted, meaning they can be used by anyone without needing a licence. IANAL, but it seems like font users aren't required to comply with attribution and share-alike requirements of the CC licence.
Another classic console font is the GPLv2 Solarize 12x29 PSF young'un oldschool font from Sun SPARCstation via Linux safekeeping, https://github.com/talamus/solarize-12x29-psf & https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2356167&s=f531b970...

Origins of this font can be traced to the Sun Microsystems SPARCstation console. In some early days of Linux development that font was donated to be a part of the Linux kernel.. Characters: Latin, Greek, Cryillic, Pinyin.
Slower, clock wise. My guess, considering the IPC, is that it could perform better.

Purely logically that means nothing.

It’s like saying “John refused to do chemotherapy yesterday and he’s still alive today”.

Yeah, he had some improvement. That doesn’t mean anything about whether or not a certain action would have led to more improvement or not.

Further, specifically regd. The Kyoto protocol, the largest economy in the world not signing the Kyoto Protocol or exiting the Paris agreement has massive knock on effects on other countries as well. Their leaders will find it much more difficult to push better policies and can easily refuse being bound to actual targets because why should they do it if the largest economy in the world doesn’t.
I have been looking for something like this, but the pricing is too high for my use case. It needs to be comparable to just printing the document and signing with pens, or it's not generally worth it to me. It seems wild to me that something that in principal could be basically free costs so much.

I’ve been doing a lot of extreme low temp (-70C ambient) photography with a Sigma FP. It’s basically a full-frame box hybrid movie camera. The addon EVF works well long after the LCD freezes. I really don’t want multi touch. I do want at least two physical dials with chunky detents. I don’t want auto-everything. USB charging is nice but I use a cabled external battery most of the time. The battery will die in minutes outside and for whatever reason Sigma decided not to add USB power pass through in the EVF. A week outside in the cold on AC power? No problem because there are no moving parts.

The power solution I came up with is a modified battery charger with a removable base (Wasabi Power). I added teflon coated cables and a connector to go to the (also butchered) dummy battery. Real battery gets stuffed into a pocket or up a sleeve. The camera doesn’t care how cold it gets, from experimenting.

It’s also small and the display is most of the back. If you make the display bigger, the camera gets bigger. At some point you aren’t serving pro photgraphers or people who would just use an iPad. Really you want a good OLED display or a high-res viewfinder. The FP has a weird loupe accessory back.

An on device editor? I don’t understand the need, if you can sync to a phone or computer. The same goes for wifi - a lot of new cameras have 2.4Ghz in them (my OM-D EM5ii from almost a decade ago can sync to an app).

This project looks super cool though.
The video explains repeatedly and in detail what WPE was put on notice about. What part of it did you find ambiguous?
Seriously, hardcore history? I dont even remember where I heard from him, but I think it was a Lex podcast. So I checked out hardcore history and was mightily disappointed. To my ears, he is rambling 3 hours about a topic, more or less unstructured and very long-winded, so that I basically remember nothing after having finished the podcast. I tried several times again, because I wanted it to be good. But no, not the format for me, and not a presentation I can actually absorb.

I think this is just the result of Google (particularly search) being very optimized for size/performance with little weight given to readability. It's probably minified or compiled from some other representation.
not higher prices, less corporate profit...but thats not gonna happen is it?
> Not if the silo can withstand a direct hit from anything short of a nuclear bomb going off nearby

But this kind of silos simply doesn't exist.

Yes you could theoretically imagine such a silo, but because the threat of a conventional bunker buster payload hasn't been very realistic when it comes to nuclear silos, they aren't designed to deal with such a thread and instead focus on protection against the kind of overpressure that is caused by an nuclear explosion occurring around.
I'm creating a simple and lightweight CRM (customer relationship management) as RMS (record management system) system. Code is too early state to try.

As a Finnish speaker I've often wondered about this. In Finnish (and Hungarian) the stress is almost always on the first syllable, so it is easy for speakers to distinguish word boundaries. How do speakers of other languages do it?

Now I'm wondering if the first consonant is lengthened in Finnish too or if the syllabic stress makes it unnecessary.
There are already tons of similar AI-generated content on YouTube. It's only a matter of time before stuff like this becomes the equivalent of the omnipresent SEO spam today.
I guess I could say I found ogrish or liveleaks traumatizing but it wasn't the site, it was human beings. I felt I had a responsibility to understand what humanity was capable of, because I only had vanishingly-minor hints of it growing up in a nice conflict-free region of the world. Honestly, being exposed to the stuff on those sites gave me a better understanding of what people might do to each other (or to other life forms). It was rough to see some stuff, but I am actually thankful I was able to access that kind of stuff at that age and learn more about what humans are. I don't know if many people relate to that mindset, but I never once had a sense of "I wish I didn't watch that". Each was a learning experience.

Isn't it worse than that? They're not just unsupported, I thought it was against their EULA to use the MS extensions with anything but the official VSCode.

It doesn't matter to the average person using it for personal projects but it's a liability to businesses. It wouldn't matter most of the time but this is Microsoft we're talking about.

I know I'm not the first to say this, but I think what's going on is that these AI things can produce results that are very mid. A sort of extra medium. Experts beat modern LLMs but modern llms are better than a gap.

If you just need voice discussing some topic because that has utility and you can't afford a pair of podcasters (damn, check your couch cushions) then having a mid podcast is better than having no podcast. But if you need expert Insight because expert Insight is your product and you happen to deliver it through a podcast then you need an expert.

If I were a small software shop and I wanted something like a weekly update describing this week's updates for my customers and I have a dozen developers and none of us are particularly vocally charismatic putting a weekly update generated from commits, completed tickets, and developer notes might be useful. The audience would be very targeted and the podcast wouldn't be my main product, but there's no way I'd be able to afford expert level podcasters for such a position.

I would argue Perun is a world class defense Logistics expert or at least expert enough, passionate enough, and charismatic enough to present as such. Just like the guys who do Knowledge Fight, are world class experts on debunking Alex Jones, and Jack Rhysider is an expert and Fanboy of computer security so Darknet Diaries excels, and so on...

These aren't for making products, they can't compete with the experts in the attention economy. But they can fill gaps and if you need audio delivery of something about your product this might be really good.

Edit - but as you said the robots will catch up, I just don't know if they'll catch up with this batch of algorithms or if it'll be the next round.

I am working on my text course about Deno (https://niklasmtj.de/deno/course/). With Deno 2.0 just right around the corner, I'm excited to get this course into the hands of possible new users. I really like how Deno does a lot of things better than Node. With a toolchain similiar to other modern language enviroments (e.g. Golang) it helps a lot not thinking about "What might be the hot package to use right now".

Right now I have 3/7 chapters ready and I am working on the 4th right now. It will be about Deno on the CLI, learning about the permission model, getting user input etc. creating a small CLI application as a single file binary (deno compile)

After abandoning a lot of smaller side projects for years now I wanted to push through and ship something that is not just some hours of work (read <3-4 hours). I learnt that I have a lot of fun writing about and trying to teach things that I'm interested in.
What you say (though I'm not sure that we can speak of an "ideal"), compounded with the "late stage capitalism" fact that everything today is consolidated, and has to be about making profit and maximizing it: Disney shareholders probably like the latest Marvel movie more than you do for being the same as the previous ones: business don't like taking risks. The same applies to your furniture maker: when you sell to millions and want your shelves stuffed, you pick a select few materials and color variations that minimize cost and targets the broadest audience.
