Churnalism.

More than a decade ago I saw a story about what happened to a "Swiss National" who was jailed in the UAE for three poppy seeds on their shirt. It was quite a disturbing story and was reported around the time some more high profile cases of people being arrested in UAE for what would be normal things in western countries. I saw the same story with the same language appear in dozens of news sites I read and then got suspicious that the wording was near identical and the individual never named.

search for "swiss national jailed UAE poppy seeds" and you can still see some of the articles

Anyway, I contacted the NGO (who it seems does good work, btw!) and asked who this person was and what happened to them. I got a response that during an interview about a more prominent case they told one journalist that it was just a rumour they heard and the story snowballed from there. Nobody contacted them to get more details.

The point I took is not that anyone is malicious or has some sinister agenda but that budgets in newsrooms had been so cut to the bone and "content" needed to be produced as fast as possible to get the clicks, to churn out those stores, and get that ad revenue that nobody had time to do basic fact checking. They were incentivised by the system not to.
I thought that ESRB people don't actually play your game, and that they just ask some questions and watch some videos.

They were already cut in, public funding was specifically used for these scans.

There could be an argument that this liberalization means these projects need larger funding, but the museum took a different road.

I agree that copyright law is woefully unprepared, and that LLMs have become useful enough it will be difficult if not impossible to stop their development.

> Page Rank is a big ol' matrix multiplication, and it spits out quotes verbatim.

That makes no sense. Google Books was blocked exactly because it was reproducing enough material to be infringing. Google search usually does not copy enough material that it might be considered infringing (even though I think news sites have sued over this in some jurisdictions, right?)

> And yet I am not forbidden from being online due to the fact that I have the capability to do so.

It's fairly obvious that the people running LLMs don't want to prevent them from infringing copyright, particularly in image gen.
Probably similar to how it used to be in Germany. The many conscientious objectors to army service were doing useful work for very little money.
Same thing happened that has the cooks and gardeners beholden to non-compete agreements in the land of the free!

Greed is universal. Slavery is one of the outcomes.
"Which is funny, because atheism is fundamentally and quite literally irrational.
"

This sounds like the 'no you' response.

You didn't make any point.

Just because there are open questions doesn't mean there is a god. There are unknowns -> ? -> Must be god.

All of the same arguments you made also apply to aliens.

Even if I were to follow your argument as "there are unknowns thus god", I'm pretty sure it isn't the Christian God. The god that can create the entire universe, focused down on a few lost tribes and said 'you guys are my dudes, and only you'.
Not sure that’s true due to power losses over distance. Running your appliances off your own solar panels and not having to draw from the grid is probably more efficient in terms of energy generation.

For local inputs, the fixed timestep is always a frame or smaller, this is not an issue unless you're over a network

Edit: Oh i see, this is a problem with the commenters suggestion of predicting the future though
setTimeout has no guarantees, and even if it did, your unit tests shouldn't depend on it.

Flaky unit tests are a scourge. The top causes of flaky unit tests in my experience:

- wall clock time ( and timezones )
- user time ( and timeouts )
- network calls
- local I/O

These are also, generally speaking, a cause of unnecessarily slow unit tests. If your unit test is waiting 1000ms, then it's taking 1000ms longer than it needs to.

If you want to test that your component waits, then mock setTimeout and verify it's called with 1000 as a parameter.

If you want to test how your component waiting interacts with other components, then schedule, without timers, the interactions of effects as a separate test.

Fast reliable unit tests are difficult, but a fast reliable unit test suite is like having a super-power. It's like driving along a windy mountainside road and the difference between one with a small gravel trap and one lined with armco barriers. Even though in both cases you can the safe driving speed may be the same, having the barriers there will give you the confidence to actually go at that speed.

Doing every you can to improve the reliably and speed of your unit test suite will pay off in developer satisfaction. Every time a test suite fails because of a test failing that had nothing to do with the changes under test, a bit more of a resume gets drafted.
Not surprised the story is being spread around. I'm sure that a lot of corporations would be happy to amplify a story that will make workers in other countries feel better about not being treated as badly as Japanese workers are by their employers, but I hope it just gets people thinking about how given the chance employers will abuse us to whatever extent we allow them to. Maybe it'll get people thinking about what can be done to improve things where they are or at least make sure things never get as bad.
Yeah it was intended to be easy to learn to people familiar with SQL. LINQ2SQL and Entity Framework are basically a way to query your database by constructing an abstract representation of your query using strongly typed bindings in your application code. So then the extension method syntax of it was a great way to sneak functional list programming idioms into it. Watching the proliferation of functional style in the .NET ecosystem over the past 15 years has been pretty impressive, IMO.

Actually, `jj git push` will only push named branches, which are now called "bookmarks".

You simply don't attach a bookmark to @, and `jj git push` will NEVER push it (to what branch would it push?)

The branch you're working on is instead on @-. So when you squash, it updates the branch.
I think that’s a more interesting question. I’m not sure how to do it, but I think that finding a way to stop the reproduction of copyrighted content is probably the missing piece.

If there was a monetary penalty for reproduction of copyright works (apply human laws to machine), then I bet these companies would quickly figure out how to fingerprint output and match it to source data before sending it to the user.
A few years ago I also switched from VSCodium to a simpler code editor called Helix (helix-editor.com).

A mix of both, the poverty creates some of this ignorance by lack of access to education.

Story time!

Back at a previous job in a Japanese Traditional Company over a decade ago, a guy had been trying to quit for months.

‘Tradition’ has it that before you quit, you have to schedule a chat with your team lead, who will then direct your request to the department head for approval. (Yes, you need _permission_ to quit. Fuck the law)

This person was a fairly senior engineer and thus quite essential to the company so they kept giving him the run around, rescheduling his chats and not giving him a direct answer.

One day, a letter addressed to the dept head came, looking all important and official, like it came from a client. The dept head opened the letter and after taking a quick glance immediately tossed it. Our senpai engineer then jumped up and shouted across the entire office, you have seen my notice now, you cannot deny my resignation! I quit! And he stormed off like a boss.

Basically the gist of the story is that they cannot deny your resignation if requested but as long as they don’t acknowledge it they can pretend you never requested it. That’s the origin story of these companies.
>Japanese workers clearly need to assert themselves.

I would hesitate to make such an assertion without deeply understanding Japanese culture. There are always trade-offs. The Japanese people have a very unique culture with a lot of positive attributes; it could be that this phenomena is a side-effect of a greater good. To wit, the notion of "loyalty" in Western firms has all but disappeared, in both directions, along with pensions and the rest. As with an engineering decision, you must consider the trade-offs carefully before making a change, or you risk making things worse.
I suggest you try purchasing insurance through a state market place for you and your family for next year and then report back on your experience if you're still alive in 2026.
It's a phone, just not a cell phone. But I must admit, that I also was a little disappointed to see that it wasn't a cell phone.

I've been wanting a simple, open source phone (a cell phone that is) that allows me to easily hook into events with some code. Like for example, when a phone call comes in, I want to be able to run certain logic based on what number is calling etc.
What framework? I'm getting into full stack and I was under the impression that all the shiny new stuff is focused on being more efficient, rather than less?
India has mandatory EPF (India's counterpart of the 401(k)) contribution for salaried employees, and in cases of dual employment (i.e. dual streams of employer deposits) it causes all sorts of issues and in most cases result in immediate blacklisting of the employee.

Also, labor protection for white-caller workers is non-existent in India. Basic expectations like fixed working hours, 5-day weeks, paid overtime etc are luxuries only attributable to the absolute top cream of employers (which mostly tend to be non-Indian MNCs). Other basic things like 2-week notices, flexible retirement and paternal leaves are just straight-up absent, even in top employers.

I think it's more likely that it's just "undefined behaviour" and up to the implementers of the JavaScript engines. Given that modern browsers do limit and throttle how much you can do with setTimeout in some situations (try to use setTimeout on a page after you've switched to a VR context! More than like 120hz and it'll just.... Not run the timeout anymore, from experience with Chrome).

The browser devs have decided it's acceptable to change the behaviour of setTimeout in some situations.

>all it's done is build a biometric database from the bodies of the poor

I'm a worldcoiner. All that happened is I went to a cafe in London, they took a picture of my eyes without asking to know my name and gave me a Worldcoin account, which is mostly a crypto wallet, associated with that eye scan.

I've since received coins worth about $250 and changed half to usd. I don't feel scammed or exploited and my privacy is invaded a lot less than by the likes of Google and Facebook who know a lot about me rather than just account 555636... has retinas 6gg663gghhs...

I'm not sure database from the bodies of the poor really matches my experience.

Sam didn't create AI - it would have happened anyway.

As to World(coin)s other objectives of providing an anonymous id system and payment network I don't know. Those don't seem to have kicked in in practice although who knows. I think the take up is too low at the moment really.

By the way this has a pic of the new orb thing https://www.pcmag.com/news/sam-altman-worldcoin-launches-dee... and they are now launching their own ethereum L2 and you can write 'mini apps' for it that pop up within the main World(coin) app I think https://minikit-docs.vercel.app/mini-apps

I disagree.

While the situation in Israel differs from that in the West Bank, there are still significant elements of systemic discrimination against Arab citizens. The 2018 Nation-State Law is a prime example, as it:

1. Removedd Arabic as an offical language
2. Defined Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people exclusively
3. Declared Jewish settlements a national value

This law effectively codified the second-class status of Arab citizens, who make up about 20% of Israel's population. Additionally, Arab Israelis face ongoing disparities in areas such as education, employment, and housing. They are underrepresented in government and leadership positions.

While Arab citizens have legal rights on paper, the reality is a system of de facto segregation and institutional discrimination. The Nation-State Law and other policies create a two-tiered system that privileges Jewish citizens over Arab citizens, meeting key criteria of apartheid even within Israel proper.

>That’s what Apple was forced to react to.

Perhaps apple could have made a better explanation available?
Unless, there wasn't one?
I’d say that NATO and EU membership helped. Note that there are many other countries that fell out of the Soviet sphere of influence and didn’t share the same level of success.
I'd argue that the notion of "loyalty" in Eastern firms isn't doing very well either considering how employees are being mistreated. Employers abusing their workers certainly aren't loyal and employees who are being abused or intimidated and feel unsafe leaving that job aren't sticking around out of a sense of devotion for their company. I don't think people have to choose between slavery and pensions either. There is clearly a lot of room for a much healthier middle.

In any case, whatever the consequences would be to Japanese culture if workers stopped having to pay someone to feel safe leaving their job I feel pretty comfortable saying it would be well worth it.
So this was a service based online business, not software, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Got about a hundred hot leads in the first day from a single Facebook post. It was something like "If you're interested in [service], comment below for a free sample." The comments boosted the visibility of the post exponentially, so we had about 100 replies a few hours later, all hot leads. Took a day or two to fulfil the free samples, and it led to years of passive income.

Maybe a dozen of those became customers right away, and then it was word of mouth from there.

Another commenter mentioned finding relevant forums on Reddit, it's the exact same idea.
There are tabs, like in a browser, so you can have two tabs for your usecase. Perhaps I can work on tab division, like I'm IDEs. I'll be also implementing a search functionality later to find the files and even searching across the content of files.

However for both files to be visually be on the same level, I am now thinking about shortcuts, where the original document will live in a distant folder (board), and you can view it from other board by creating a reference/shortcut to it. Possibilities are endless!
The Mega Drive version was the same, with extra controller ports on the cartridge.

This is just wrong on all levels - French "manifestations" are not limited to the "gilets jaunes", which were a recent phenomenon that already died out. The gilets jaunes were mostly people who never went to a "grève" before, never participated in Labor movements, never joined a "syndicat"...

It’s telling that if you google for resignation letter in Japanese, you still get a lot of them titled 退職願 — Request to Quit.

Things have gotten better in the past 2 decades. 退職届 — Notice of Resignation is more common nowadays.
I'm pretty sure giving notice works the same in Japan as everywhere else: You give notice. Your employer does not have to agree to it.
I disagree: I think copyright law is wholly prepared.

If some thing produces a copy of copyrighted material, without explicit approval of the copyright owner, then it is infringing on the copyright.

Where is the unprepared?
I disagree. Won’t repeat the arguments, just point to another comment:

One definition for the randomness of a finite string is the size of the smallest program that produces it. The definition is dependent on how programs are interpreted.

If my string is "aaaa", does that mean its entropy is zero? There is at least information about its length. And by your definition, how do we know that this password isn't from a 256 character set? Does "Aaab" have 26 times the entropy of "aaab"?

Topics like this make more sense to me when the strings are infinite, or when the population of strings is known.
I use a very low-tech approach. A spreadsheet (LibreOffice) with name, position, company and phone number in the leftmost columns and then a column for each form of contact. Copy and paste into the various apps and over-time the apps build their individual contact lists. People don't change their identities often enough for me to want to automate synchronization across the various apps.\

If you are contacting more than a hundred or so persons, then you are running bulk emails which is a different issue.

Because it really is not. Health care in general is large cut for gdp in any developed system. So if you substantially increased wages and number of workers. You would also need to either run higher budget shortfalls. Or bump taxes a bit. And voters really are not going to take these, even if nurses would get paid.

"In the operating room, Miller recalled the case coordinator phoning her supervisor at KODA for help once they saw signs of life. The supervisor insisted that the case coordinator needed to “find another doctor to do it,” Miller recalled."

Absurd. The supervisor needs to be charged with attempted murder, and the entire medical system needs to be restructured to change the incentives and accountability mechanisms. That something so clearly murderous can take place in a seemingly mundane manner speaks to healthcare being deeply dysfunctional at a systemic level.

Though I haven't seen anything as obvious and cruel as this, I have seen pretty extreme lack of regard for patients in healthcare systems around the world, so it's not just in the US.
