This is the wrong strategy. Every year some or the other group begs the copyright office for some minor exception and most of them get denied. This is the wrong game. To win at this, you need to create your own market and succeed in it. And then you can buy your own politicans. Imagine if uber had asked the taxi board for exceptions for ride sharing. Or if Tesla had waited till states allowed them to sell (they didn't; they started selling on Indian land). Begging for morsels from the government doesn't work.

1) That is a direct argument against anything that is a global good. If we do something that is good for everyone, bad people will benefit from it because they are people too. Bad people benefiting doesn't, in isolation, tell us anything about whether something is a good idea.

2) Money being hard to trace is a bigger problem for authoritarian regimes than it is a help. Places like Russia, China, etc, rely fairly heavily on financial controls to stop people sending money to places with the most reliable legal system. If you live in a world where the tax offices can't track money, authoritarians will struggle more than anyone else to raise funds.

>I find it weird how many people are happy to defend unchecked corporate power when it comes to this issue. The lack of any guardrails on moderation is why

It's not weird at all. We've already seen some places try to have little or no moderation, and the result isn't pretty: 4chan, and today's Xitter immediately come to mind. Shitty people and trolls take over, driving everyone else out, because who wants to read all that shit constantly?

Leaving the moderation to some corporation might not be ideal (look what happened with Reddit), but it's better than no moderation at all. At least with corporate-run moderation, if we don't like it, we can go somewhere else. What the "free speech absolutionists" are trying to do will just end up ruining ALL online spaces, so we have nowhere to go, except perhaps online spaces entirely operated in foreign countries where they don't subscribe to this idiocy.

I was wondering the same thing but I guess the key is probably that you don't actually have to do it correctly every time. Just tokenizing based on a few common characteristics (brace pairing, quotes, indentation, newlines, etc.) should let you trim a ton without knowing anything about the language, I imagine?

My real worry is what if this ends up running dangerous code. Like what if you have a disabled line that writes instead of reading, that randomly gets reactivated?

I’ve seen analyses showing that aluminium actually is less energy-expensive than even plastic when it comes to transportation[0]. Initial aluminium is pricey, but recycled is cheap and unlike plastic it’s infinitely recyclable. But then yes, there is the inner layer of plastic in today’s aluminium cans, and proper glass beats both in terms of cleanness when it comes to the food it contains.

Additionally, the energy needed to produce even the initial, energy-intensive glass or aluminium could perhaps come from renewables and perhaps some emissions can be captured given enough motivation. (And when it comes to transportation perhaps today’s approach of lugging finished bottles around the globe can evolve towards moving source material and packaging it locally.)

The math is not straightforward.

> But this is a takeover that is slowly draining the value from the community and directing it to private pockets. E.g. Redis is now source-available.

I think you're fooling yourself into believing that Redis was ever a community-owned project.

The truth of the matter is that the guy who developed Redis ended up selling Redis to a corporation. Since then he bailed out, and the corporation that owns Redis is now going through great lengths to monetize it.

The faster you forget about Redis and switch to alternatives, the better you'd be.

If most people won't take your dollars/gold/... because they fear getting caught, then what use is it to you? You won't be able to spend it. There were actually people like that in early Soviet days, guys who managed to preserve a stash of their former wealth, but without the ability to use it meaningfully.

The best mitigation you have for that kind of government is having a ticket out.
Two reasons:

1. It’s a bit orthogonal. APs that support mesh aren’t actually taking their excellent 802.11r/k/v network and making the APs themselves use it by mesh magic. They’re doing something else behind the scenes to arrange for wireless uplink. You can set up OpenWRT to do WDS (I think) and get it to have a wireless uplink. It will be mildly annoying to set up, it will be more manual than it deserves to be, and it won’t help get the actual multi-AP SSID to work any better.

2. I said that I, personally, didn’t care so much. I’ve set up several wireless networks, and I’ve almost never wanted a wireless uplink. I like wires!

OpenWRT probably should have better out of the box support for “mesh,” but IMO that’s a different feature request. I do find it rather annoying that AP makers tend to conflate “mesh” meaning wireless uplink and “mesh” meaning you can use more than one AP, it works well to do so, and it’s not unnecessarily painful to do so.

Nope, it's right, every single part.

Right now there are over 100,000 rules in the code of federal regulations across 50 volumes: https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/CFR

Here is another link for you: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R43056/9?utm_s...

Search for "major rules". Think about those.

They are constrained only by what is nowadays extremely broadly written legislation. Just read anything like dodd-frank, written by incompetent fools who left it so broad that it said both nothing and everything (no constraints in practice) - and is now the source of 100s of rules across various agencies.

Yes, precedent, part of my point. The constitution says nothing about it. The first regulatory agency came about 100 years after the constitution - that isn't by chance.

It hasn't always been like this. It wasn't envisaged.

It takes mere seconds to write type hints, and with modern auto-complete tooling or Copilot, it's basically automatic. It goes a long way to use tools like MyPy to verify your code and also provide documentation for users of your code. If you don't want to write type hints, don't use a dynamically typed language.
So wouldn't this logic also apply to updates that are signed with an invalid signature? And at that point, it sounds like you're saying that once something is signed and distributed, no one will ever try to compromise that and you're free and clear for the rest of time, which seems...dubious.

CRI cannot be the issue with GGGP because he writes that LEDs "are still awful compared to incandescent bulbs" and we know that incandescents (being very low in the blue part of the spectrum compared to its output in the orange and the red) have worse CRI than even the crappy LED bulbs.

CRI is also not why I dislike most LED light bulbs either.

P.S. Are there any tools for synthetic voice creation? Maybe melding two or more voices together, or just exploring latent space? Would be fun for character creation to create completely new voices.

That's enough to distinguish between "unboxed float" and "something else", where the latter can have additional tag bits.

> [64-bit] pointers are only 48 bits and you have 53 bits of NaN payload.

The paper specifically talks about support for "high memory addresses that do not fit in 48 bits". If you don't have to handle those high addresses, I don't think this approach has any benefits compared to NaN-boxing.
Although you’re probably right in the context of this study, I highly suspect when you sleep does affect things due to the evolutionary and biological significance of the circadian rhythm.

That's backwards.

The LED should be connected to camera's power, or maybe camera's "enable" signal. It should not be operable via any firmware in any way.

The led also has to be connected through a one-shot trigger (a transistor + a capacitor) so that it would light up, say, for at least 500 ms no matter how short the input pulse is. This would prevent making single shots hard to notice.

Doing that, of course, would incur a few cents more in BOM, and quite a bit more in being paranoid, well, I mean, customer-centric.
This is very sad, and another nudge away from Spotify for me.

I remember the API being a motivator for signing up, and I've hacked together a few toys with it over the years.

Realistically now, the only benefit Spotify provides over my MP3 collection is that it's better organised.

Microsoft office macros are not Lisp macros.

When you load a Lisp source code file, each of the forms and that file is read and executed.

You know like pretty much any scripting language.

You don't need a macro to perpetrate damage.

Bash doesn't have macros. yet it's a very bad idea to do this:

wget https://url | bash

Lisp macros execute even when a file is not being executed but only compiled. What that means is that you have to trust a file in order to compile it because by doing so you're running it.

Besides compiling any other tooling which expands macros is vulnerable to execution. As we can see in this article, there our situations when if you're working with list code inside Emacs, it will expand the macros.

If you were going to blindly run the code anyway, that makes no difference. But developers often look at untrusted source code with no intention to run it and not expecting to do anything harmful just by sitting in their editor.

In principle Lisp macros could be sandboxed. The vast majority of macros do not need to do any system access. They just look at their argument code pieces and calculate a new piece of code, without any side effects or accessing anything in the system.
