The chain of culpability, in my view as an outsider, goes iwantmyname > BrandShield > Funko Pop.

Funko Pop hired BrandShield, but from what I understand they did so exactly because the latter does all the work without you having to intervene. Kind of like you hiring a lawyer and them using ChatGPT to present the case, full of errors and non-existent sources. The lawyer might have been acting on your behalf, but they didn’t really do so according to your intentions and their fuck up isn’t your fault. On first view I’d say BrandShield is a culprit here, but can’t be so sure about Funko Pop yet.

On the other hand, iwantmyname is absolutely at fault. They took down a client’s website without asking or recourse, then sat on their asses. That’s who you sue, because they’re the ones who ultimately had the power and made the decision that affected itch.io. If iwantmyname wants to sue BrandShield and/or Funk Pop or whatever else in turn, none of your concern. The one’s who hurt the business were iwantmyname by not doing due diligence or contacting the client but just automatically bending over.

Now if they should be sued in Britain or New Zealand, that’s for the lawyers to know.

In fact, all of this is for the lawyers to figure out. I’m not one. I’m merely expressing what makes logical sense to me, which could be incredibly wrong.
It may be worthwhile to test, but the strength of "I see this field is correctly encoded but maybe hypothetically it could be your WAF protecting a vulnerable application. My sole supporting reason for this hypothesis is that if it is true, your bug bounty program will pay out for me" is, as vulnerability signals go, too uselessly weak to act on.

Bug bounty programs are nifty in that they give real researchers an effective outlet for the things they were quite possibly going to discover anyhow, but part of the price of that is you get a lot of submissions from people basically treating it as a system for spraying bug bounty programs with lottery tickets with low effort.
Cutting a rabbet? Probably should have used a sacrificial fence, but it's easy to see how this could happen.
Telegram is the only decent messaging app you can truly actively use and not get pissed off every few hours.

Sure, but if something goes wrong with your colocated server, you're supposed to fix it yourself, aren't you? So it feels kinda important that the datacenter is close enough so you could get there quickly on a short notice. I'm imagining having to fly several hours and cross borders just to replace a failed hard drive, all while your server is down.

Europe's higher population density gives them has great, walkable cities, practical public transport, good cycle-ability and plentiful bus stops.

The trade-off is smaller homes and less parking. There's a reason nobody over there drives an F-150 truck.
I wonder how well the local intelligence was ready for that event.
Madrid isn't the best example of a modern Metro design. BIlbao's one it's far more modern and less 'oldish' and claustrophobic. That was my experience in Madrid. Once the Metropolitan Bilbao area's metro expands further around the region, it will be the best example on how a modern subway should we made.

We just launched a secure virtual desktop made specifically for LLM-powered computer use. The difference from Claude computer use is that:

It works with any LLM

It has high level of security, because each sandbox instance is isolated from the others, and it's isolated from user's os.

The E2B sandbox in general can be customized with any dependencies or pre-installed packages.

Some features:

- Python or JS/TS version

- Allows streaming of the desktop screen

- Supports mouse & keyboard control, opening files, screenshots, running bash and PyAutoGUI commands & more.

Here is the Desktop Sandbox repo: https://github.com/e2b-dev/desktop
We also added an example of computer use, using the E2B Desktop Sandbox: https://github.com/e2b-dev/secure-computer-use

I will be happy to hear any feedback if you want to check it out.
I don’t think that’s true.

Also, think about the corollary: if that was true then most certainly the opposite is also true that technical people are terrible at business decisions.

Hardly my experience. Some are, but some are excellent business people.
That would be fine if and only if they both weren't dependent on TSMC. We need at least 3 viable sources of leading edge chip fab so that we're not down to one when one of the other 3 inevitably stumble.

Apple and Nvidia should be leading the charge here. They're the ones that are both vulnerable to a TSMC squeeze and have the resources to make a difference.

It appears that Nvidia is looking to manufacture the low end of their upcoming GPU's on Samsung, so they're doing at least something. But Apple appears to be doubling down on TSMC via exclusive contracts.
A normal EWMA filter is a special case of a Kalman filter and I bet this could be re-cast as one too. Might need an extra state or adaptive process noise though.
This. Also, at least being offline-first should be a must. I went to a friend’s house, and she has a system to enable and disable lights, water, etc. There was a power outage in the area... she couldn’t enable the water to flow. What a joke.
Your primary point is there is strong public sentiment toward healthcare privatization.

There is no evidence of this claim.

If you have any, please provide it. You attempted to provide the election which is not valid evidence for several reasons.

There is no evidence of a mandate from the public in the direction you’re suggesting there is.

I was a showbiz kid (same thing but different 'band').

For me I really didnt care much one way or the other about the animatronics. You would snarf down your pizza watch the dumb show and go back to the game room. Now some of my friends were smitten by the things. They wanted front row and would try to get the merch.

They were mildly interesting and gave the place a uniqueness over the dozens of other places with video games and pizza. More importantly your parents would be in on it and would take you out to a 'safe' arcade.

When the places where all over the place. It was a tiered system. The showbiz/chuckie places were for kids under 12. Usually much cleaner and less of the older kids bullying the younger ones off the machines. The arcades were for the over 10 group and were much less supervised. The people running them would actively discourage older kids from coming in by themselves in groups of 4 or more. If you went in and dropped a couple of quarters and kept to yourself they would ignore you.

I was invited back years later to a CC with a family. The pizza was utter rubish, SB had better pizza. Many of the games were outdated or broken. The place felt worn out and tired and very focused on the ball pit (which any free playground can provide a similar experiance). Not pleasant at all for anyone involved. Pretty sure the animatronics was broken then too.

The five nights thing would be more for the 12+ crowd. CC is squarely aimed at lower aged kids and parents who want 'a break'. They might know about it and have played the game but it would not factor much on if they want to go.
But the DMCA is the only legal mechanism for demanding swift action from a registrar/hosting party without the involvement of a judge, at least FAFAIK. So if this wasn't a DMCA takedown, then the registrar was acting completely of their own volition and should be liable for all fallout.
From my perspective no one does. Ever.

I only know it's a thing because I watched some math-related edu shows. Didn't even see that when I briefly worked in US.
I regret going with .io for my personal domain name. At the time I thought it was cool, but they've since raised prices and hearing things like this doesn't instill confidence...
But now I gotta know why it's called the $1 recognizer! One question solved, another opened.

Edit:
> It's because the algorithm is easy to implement and efficient in terms of compute usage to match a gesture. It's a "cheap and easy" recognizer, a $1 recognizer.
Starklark isn't exactly "functional" but by design it is hermetic. You can't call any code that would have a side-effect (other than burning compute resources) or get data that wasn't part of your initial input.

It could make a of sense as a "contract language", or as intended: part of a build system.

The blade guards on the cheap tablesaws are awful and everyone removes them. The good table saws come with guards that work much better (but still not perfect sometimes you have to remove them but most of the time they work well). You can buy a new table saw for under $100, a good blade guard can be bought separately for $300 so you see why a lot of saws have cheap guards. (note that the cheap tablesaw too light duty to support the good guard)
Italy had a great post WW2 economic boom. Europe is suffering form the post-2008 austerity and failure to capture the international wealth generated by the new industry(tech) while it's older industries(like cars) are being destroyed by Asia, while being burdened with ballooning welfare costs of the ageing population and workforce that's uncompetitive with Asian labor costs but without the profitable innovations the likes of US has.
When I manage a project and have the freedom to choose my configuration structure, then I always use typescript. I never understood the desire to have configuration be in ini/json/jsonnet/yaml. A strongly typed configuration with code completion seems so much more robust. Except of course your usecase is to load or change the config via an API.

I like what apple is doing with https://pkl-lang.org/ though.
>luckily my country voted with guns to refuse to recognize the authority of your tyrannical monarchy

And how is that going?
You still need a prompt, but the spatial tools and controlnet models are where the magic is.

I think style transfer + pose detection + edge detection gives artists a bunch of new tools to play with.

OP I would look into learning comfyui
IANAL either, but my guess is that itch.io has precisely 0 plausible legal recourse here.

The strongest case would be something along the lines of breach of contract via the domain registrar, but your standard internet contract has a term in it that amounts to "we get the right to fuck you", so I assume that applies here, so no breach of contract actually exists. This also kills every claim that's dependent on breach of contract, so tortious interference is also dead.

Fraud will fail because itch.io itself isn't being defrauded at the very least. Business disparagement, and anything else along the lines of defamation, is going to fail because you need something like actual malice--specific knowledge of falsity--there, and that's essentially impossible to prove, not without somebody admitting that they knew all along everything was false.

Tortious interference is dead for several reasons. First, you need an underlying tort, which, as detailed above, probably doesn't exist. Next, you need specific knowledge of the contract being broken. Finally, you need intentionality here: it's not "I did something that caused the contract to be broken", it's "I did something to cause the contract to be broken." Outside of somebody jumping up and down shouting "I'm tortiously interfering with your contracts," it's basically impossible to prove tortious interference.
The article title sounds like famous last words.

I would skip all the tech talk and go to the practical, artist-friendly systems first of all.

This would for instance be the Krita plugin and InvokeAI. Both heavily cater to an user with little interest of getting into the weeds of VAEs and UNet models, and is much more at home using a drawing tablet.

Krita is closer to being artist-targeted since it's primarily a drawing application with an AI add-on.

InvokeAI is more on the opposite side, an AI tool with primitive but still usable ability to guide the AI by sketching stuff on a canvas.
One reason to have a razor thin custom command shell (perhaps obeying similar conventions across data structures..) is that the parsing for such can be so fast/consistent that you can also use it for benchmarking/perf regression testing with a workload generator. You might also find & record "anomalous" workloads that way or write a little "translator" (some might say "compiler") from a log to such a workload or etc.

I have done this for data structures even as fast as integer-keyed hash tables (though in that hyper-fast case you might need to try to measure & subtract off parser-loop/IO dispatch overhead and/or need statistical testing for "actually even different at all", perhaps along the lines of https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/doc/tim.md).
> I thought this is the case until I had an exit and I myself was actively participating adding to the contracts.

A couple of years prepping cases and docs for an attorney helped me appreciate the necessity of language in law.

Conversely, the lack of legal language gives us overly broad (abusable) laws. The CFAA is one notorious example.
Well, it's nice on this side of the line.

There is no party line, and there is no tone. There are over 30 years of experience with C, not all of it pleasant, though most of it productive, and, comparatively speaking, amazing recent experiences with Rust. I do have to shift my thinking from how I would solve problems in C, because the memory management paradigm is so different, but, thanks in part to deep dives into scoping in other languages in pursuit of pernicious bugs, once I make that shift, problems are easier to solve in Rust: The language and the compiler, hand in glove, do a lot of the work for you.

You can carp all you like, and that is all it is, carping, not criticism, we'll just happily work along getting a lot done in less time.
I just took a look at an example package.json file and it seemed fine — no 'comments' shoehorned in anywhere, meaningful key names that reduced the need for comments. Do you have an example of a package.json file that would be better if json supported comments?
The pro knows the safety stuff too, but they get into a groove (we call it the zone in programming) and start to take shortcuts to go faster without noticing their fingers are getting closer and closer to the blade.

The hobbyist doesn't enough to get into a groove and so won't have that happen. However the hobbyist is doing many different cuts and so doesn't always remember how to do each safely.
I feel like this title is misleading, all this does is make an HTTP request to the site and let an LLM summarize its content. It does not just "cut the crap", it cuts everything and boils it down to AI slop. Point it towards a high quality scientific article, and you'll see that it doesn't just cut "crap", but any information that might be valuable.

I get that this can be useful for some sites, I've used Kagi Summarizer (https://kagi.com/summarizer) in the past, which does basically the same thing. To me, it doesn't seem like the solution to AI slop would be to turn it into shorter AI slop, the better "solution" would be to avoid AI slop and to block SEO optimized slop websites from showing up wherever possible.
Also worth listening to this excellent podcast about the two competing pizza-animatronic chains. The history is bizarre -- they were meant to make an 'arcade' feel less like a place for delinquents, and give the parents a chance to drink and watch the 'show'.

This is terrible advice. Sounds like OP wants to learn industry standards/practices and tooling. How are they supposed to pick that up on their own? It's more likely they'll just develop bad habits, especially with ChatGPT.
For now.

It’s just market forces being unsure about the future of hiring artists.

Companies are like lemmings, they just follow one another.

Artists already know that gen AI is just another tool in the toolbox.

We’re just waiting for MBAs to also realize this.

GenAI making artists obsolete is a dumb idea. No MBA is going to be trying to coax a GenAI model into making an image.
That's the thing, it might have been the right call. Take facebook: perhaps if you were on the original engineering team, you could've made the (correct) call that "developing this thing in php won't scale to billions of users! This is the wrong architecture!". And no doubt, a lot of hacks needed to be done, because it wasn't written "correctly" the first time.

On the other hand, if you had written it for 1 billion users from the start, chances are that it wouldn't have ever surpassed 1000k users. And that's a much worse problem to have.

---

To take it to your situation - perhaps the leaders really were incompetent; but also, perhaps if you spent more time to do it "right" earlier, the entire project would've been killed. It's hard to know what was the right call.... at least, the project is still alive, so the original call might not have been disastrous.
Nothing in nix says you have to compile something from source. Just that the resulting artifact needs to be reproducible hermetically. You can download any random blob from the internet as a nix derivation, as long as you tell nix what the resulting hash should be after you download it. Sure, it might have unmet runtime dependencies, but thats orthogonal.

What you are really butting up against is that the nix store is a bit of a split-brained runtime environment. Its not easy to e.g. `gem install` to your system while running a nix-managed ruby. This has nothing to do with the binaries (well... sometimes it does because nix will patch paths to point to the readonly store, but again thats orthogonal).

At least one hand is operating a circular saw and there’s often a spring loaded guard that snaps into place when the saw isn’t sawing. I’m sure plenty of people hurt themselves with circular saws, but as more of a hands-on tool you are very aware when using it. It is not nearly as precise or easy to use with large jobs as a table saw, however.

To me it seems like you are passing a different line, into downright anti-rust hysteria, as if it is some sort of taboo to talk positively about it, or argue about its merits.

Your earlier comment, that his advocacy passes into parody, also seems silly to me. Perhaps you don't believe Rust's merits, and that's fine. Perhaps you don't believe the grandparent, and that's fine too. But either way, his argument was fair.

Edit: I later realized that my comment is mostly just an attack that doesn't really add anything to this thread. I apologize for that.

To add something to it, I'd just like to second that Rust is indeed very easy to write after learning to deal with the borrow checker. Much, much easier than C, and I say that with 15 years of writing various applications in C (with all of the autotools rituals, pthreads, Glib gobject nonsense, GTK/GDK/cairo, etc).

I had a fun little code battle with a colleague, and here's a comparison of Rust [1] vs Python [2]. Although Rust is certainly nowhere near as readable as Python, it was just as easy to write, due to the type-system saving on debugging/learning time.
