Agree, fiction and narrative is a fundamental method of human reasoning, one of the first and oldest.

I think a lot of people are reacting to this are missing some of the point - fictions may not literally model reality, but what makes certain fiction memorable is it shines light on some under-expressed aspect of reality, which sticks with us when we encounter a similar pattern in our lives. Whether its also serving entertainment purposes or the author's pet peeves is beside the point, because that is not the part of the fiction to be taken seriously.

We have all sorts of relevant quotes about this:

> all models are wrong, some are useful

> truth is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations

> We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know how to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies. - Picasso

Aside from the obvious perception-is-reality aspect of fiction, it's especially important to take fiction seriously these days because the tech world is eyeing the many gray areas between fiction and reality as the next frontier for expansion. These avatars are a perfect example of this attempt to acquire more of the territory of human experience; not just the material reality but the many possible directions our hearts and drives may take us. If we dismiss fiction as something to take less seriously than 'reality', rather than something to be understood in a different way than rational analysis (and with its own skill tree), then we cede this territory to those that know how to wield it against us.

Résumé/CV: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1emayi7l4JXVZag7hz2rI7Xx6...

About me: Almost 6 years in tech, including 4 years in software engineering and 3 in ML/AI engineering and research. My focus is on ML and Data Science, but I’m open to exploring other areas.

As a software engineer, I released a Python game on Steam with an Indonesian team and built tools to streamline their development, launched three sports betting websites for Odds Scanner (a Maltese startup focused on sports betting), and developed a C++ desktop app for particle physics using OpenMP for parallel processing.

As an ML Engineer, I worked at SCOR, creating a document classification model and backend solution. Currently, I’m a Computer Vision Engineer at AIST, Japan, where I developed a SOTA depth estimation model for panoramic images and contributed to a spherical SLAM solution. I’m also working on building a real-time pose estimation solution in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University.

I’m seeking a ML/software engineering role with growth potential and a stronger focus on engineering, aiming to advance to a senior position in the next few years. I excel as a generalist who adapts quickly to new challenges and requirements while offering specialist expertise in ML and software engineering.

If you think I’m a fit for your project, feel free to contact me!
I don't think 10x your immigrant population in 2 years is demographically the same as a natural population growth over 10 years.

They result in 2 very different distributions. One having a very large segment of the population in one specific age category. Which also puts a lot of pressure on systems / infrastructure that is relevant to that category.
If you're not interfacing with it, say linking it as a library, then it doesn't matter what you do.
Nice work! You may be interested in a paper that explored a similar concept and included some interesting ways of dealing with latency called WorldScribe: https://worldscribe.org.
Do you have any idea how critical plastics are to medicine? How much more expensive health care would be without them? You could reduce and recycle and in some cases reuse plastics in healthcare, but you cannot get rid of them without significantly affecting the quality of the medical care we all get today.
For closed loop better cgms will help.

Main points are (fsl2 based):

- latency, currently 10min.

- accuracy, fine in normal range, but when you have a low blood sugar suddenly the latency spikes a lot.

- values when being under the shower too high.

- start up time of 60min could be lower.

-open up the hardware for any app to read

There is no expectation of privacy on a public street and certainly not for the license plate which you are required to display by law.

I’m not a lawyer and never a surveillance apologist, but I’m pretty sure that courts will find license plate readers legal.

If there’s a legal challenge
the question will probably come down to the word “search”. Will law enforcement use this data to investigate crimes (yes). Will that use constitute search? Identifying who passed on a public street by way of their license plate is probably not search. But I could be wrong.

The source of the conflict is summed up here.

> The central thread here is collective action by principled people who will use copyleft primarily as a tool for rights of users and for the improvement of copylefted projects.

Joint stock companies are about hierarchy and control. Free software is very much not about that. Free software is a syndicalist movement by software developers. Software developers have taken control over computing infrastructure, we develop it on our own terms. We have settled on a decentralized model, which shares openly, without constraint.

People with the hierarchical mindset hate another party taking ownership because that’s something they don’t have control over. They would be happy to have you hunched over a keyboard desperately typing while they bark orders at you, regardless of whether or not that produces anything of value. Linux and GCC are both inspired products that grew in the cradle of copyleft, they are excellent because of their open development. Meanwhile, large corporations are happy silo themselves into unproductive morasses and play ritualistic political games [1].

Copyleft benefits users because it produces better software. Enforcement is the only card to play to make sure that continues. Unfortunately our reaction to licensing has been immature. When asked about licensing, we’re happy to throw up our hands and say “I don’t care about that” (see WTFPL) and carry on with development as if some helpful person from legal will do the legwork for us in exchange for our wonderful output. The fact is, legal is still in the 19th-century as far as intellectual property is concerned, and are happy to respond in a formal and threatening way to anything that challenges their hegemony. We have to work with our colleagues in the legal community, educate, and give them a place in our decentralized world. Otherwise, we’ll just be workers fighting for our slice of the pie in a rat race, commanded by people who are happy with consistent mediocrity. Users will suffer.

From all I understand, almost all SATs, especially LEO ones have a finite life as well. Starlink ones will stay up about 5 years and then de-orbit themselves; but even without de-orbiting itself the (very low) atmospheric drag would take it down eventually after the fuel to keep it in orbit runs out

I never said you cannot transfer copyright. I said you cannot irrevocably give it up.

And this is true: under US law, after 35 years you can reclaim your copyright

It's health and presence info. In surveillance capitalism your or your flat neighbour's devices might capture it, upload to cloud and sell it, the buyer of the info might combine it with location data etc to bind it to your identity, and sell it onwards.

The next time you buy health insurance or are involved in a court case the data may be used against your interests. (probably someone can invent a still more nefarious scenario)
to clarify, it's an impossibility to give it to them irrevocably as under US law you can reclaim a copyright that's been transferred to another party after a statutorily defined period of time
That's a very good reason to talk about this.

I do think that this is a very "lightly held" belief. It's something people kind-of believe, they'll tell this to each other, but it doesn't affect any behavior - not because it's not important IMO, but because people mostly don't really, deep down, believe it.

And I do wonder if convincing people this isn't happening will have the opposite effect than we intend. Instead of being more aware of what actual privacy violations are, it'll just make people write off the whole idea of companies invading their privacy. Idk.
Ask them for the answers at the end of the interview. Its allowed.
> If you sign a CLA you no longer own that code.

This is untrue. The "L" in "CLA" means you are licensing the code to someone else, not transferring copyright.

Edit: [Here](https://github.com/Decathlon/template/blob/master/contributo...) is a sample CLA you see on Github.

Inter alia,

> You hereby grant to Decathlon and to recipients of software distributed by Decathlon a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute your Contributions and such derivative works.

Observe you are licensing the code, not transferring copyright.
That is correct. But balloons would be a few orders of magnitude less lifetime.
Good job you can get BPA and Phenol free rolls then.
I have to ask based on this. Do you live in Canada?

Canada / India tensions is definitely a pretty core driver of the immigration sentiment in Canada.

Unfortunately in many ways Indian TFW have been linked to a large number of national crime stories in the past ~5 years that have caused a lot of anger in Canada.

* State sponsored assassination

* Gang bombing / shootings related to showing of Indian movies

* International student slaying entire family at their home

* Stolen car driving wrong way down highway killing entire family

* Country wide car theft ring

* Trafficking of narcotics across CAN-USA border

* Mass immigration / employment fraud

* Violent clashes outside of Mosques

These were literally off the top of my head and every story is specifically linked to Indian TFWs. Having grown up in Canada these types of stories were not common growing up and definitely weren't so specifically concentrated.

So one week of coffees is not worth great search for a month? I dunno, as much as I love coffee I can do without. And I can certainly do without 5 out of every 30 days.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t decide against it. Just challenging the assertion that 5 coffees constitutes a large amount of money (I think I can get 7 coffees in Japan for my $5).
The person you're responding to is wrong. CLAs are not transfers of copyright ownership or code ownership. They're only licenses (that's the "L" in "CLA") that grant the recipient a set of rights for how they are allowed to use your code that you retain ownership over.
> In the absence of a CLA who does own the copyright to the work you do

under US law, if you are not an employee of the company that owns the code you're contributing to, and you didn't sign a work-for-hire agreement with them, then you own the code you produce, full stop.
> This was a surprise to me but it explained why some OSS projects, like ones by Adobe, require a CLA: many people use their libraries at work, and if someone like that contributes a fix Adobe’s lawyers justifiedly would not want part of their code to be owned by another company.

A CLA does not affect who owns the code. It only grants the OSS project the right to use the code.

Generally speaking, a CLA will be a non-exclusive license, meaning you can give the OSS project the right to use your code while you also retain the ability to license that code to others as well (as well as continue to use it in your own projects)
> I’ve had to be pretty firm in the past with marketing teams that want to embark on a rebrand, and say however the design looks, it can’t include modal windows or animated carousels. And I think people think you’re weird when you say that.

Some small businesses create websites for branding only, and get their business exclusively offline. They just want to have a simple, static site to say "we exist, and we are professionals", so they are fine with the latest in web design.

Intrinsics would be a great quality of life improvement for low-level optimisations. They don't require understanding register allocation, but obviously they would add complexity to the compiler and they aren't cross-architecture. I have tried some tools that convert a C function with intrinsics to Go assembly, but they were buggy for my use case [1],[2].

Aedan desoldered the RP2350 and physically cut the copper trace feeding voltage to a pin. Then he proceeded to use voltage glitching and was pretty open about how lucky he was, or in other words how unlucky Rasperry Pi Ltd. was for the attack to work.

Doesn't this sound like the RP2350 is "secure enough"? Like you mention, if the attacker can send a unit to an MCU Break service, it's game over already.

> Only the copyright owner can sublicense

If that were true, then the distribution of OSS would be illegal.

If I contribute to an open source project, I have licensed my code to that project. If someone downloads that project, the OSS project has sublicensed my code to them.

I doubt there's a CLA in the world that doesn't grant the right to sublicense.

For example, here is the CLA for VS Code: https://opensource.microsoft.com/pdf/microsoft-contribution-...

the key bit is:

> You grant Microsoft . . . a . . . license . . . to sublicense any or all of the foregoing rights to third parties
I feel like you need to pre-populate some of the tiles with popular games. How you do this without running afoul of copyright is up to you. Maybe you use synonyms (good/evil/devil instead of liberal/fascist/hitler), have a variety of werewolf/mafia characters, etc.

Then this can be marketed as "20+ games in 1" in airport giftshops, the idea being that you expand the market well beyond board game enthusiasts and prototypers to casual gamers.

If this were a product from someplace that doesn't respect copyright at all, each card would likely just be a grid of miniaturized original cards from various games and some mapping/instruction cards, and maybe a crappy smartphone app.
> I used to think that copyright is always assigned to the creator, like in Germany, and it appears that I was wrong: according to Wikipedia, at least English law actually defaults (no contract clause needed!) to assigning your copyright to your employer if the contribution was done as part of work for hire

It‘s basically the same in Germany. Urheberrecht is not the same as copyright, but comprises personal rights and exploitation rights. 99% of questions about Urheberrecht in commercial settings are about exploitation rights, so ~ about copyright in an American sense.

Personal rights (mostly the right to be named) stay with the author and can never be transferred, exploitation rights default to the employer in employment situations (and are usually explicitly transferred in work contracts, to be safe).
There was an arrest. The alleged crime was published -- but since it was alleged, the news outlet doesn't have to prove it was true, they were reporting on what was alleged by the police. So libel laws had little to do with it.

It's possible the police "juiced" the story in the media, only then to try to sweep it under the rug when it didn't play out the way they were hoping. Or maybe the police thought it was all true, but the victim recanted when questioned about inconsistencies.

Whatever happened afterwards, it didn't make the papers. There's no conviction, just the arrest and allegations.
That's such a shame. I think I had as many friends outside my guild as I did inside, back in the day. I had a macro which buffed + whispered folks, and I spammed it at everyone I ran across; I'd join a PUG and people would say "it's you!".

There was one guy I'd group up with every Wednesday to run East Strat (this was early on, when it was a challenge for most PUGs) - he was a hunter (<Preyofwar>, if you're out there, it's been a long time, buddy) and I was a druid, so when we got a tank I healed, and when we got a healer I tanked; and, you know, hunters were intended to be group leaders, and mark + make the pulls - and for a while we made it a Thing; people would message us when they saw us come online.

This one time we grabbed a woman who mainly crafted - she'd sit outside the auction house handing out low-level bags to noobs - and had barely run dungeons before; it took some convincing to persuade her to come, and she didn't really know what she was doing (I think she was a resto shaman?). Halfway through, the assholes we'd picked up outside the instance started giving her grief in the chat - she'd wiped us at least a couple of times in a row - and she started apologizing and offering to go, and we said "no fucking way" and kicked them, and then called in favors with our guildmates to get some better-geared and more-experienced folks to help us carry her the rest of the way.

That's the sort of thing I loved about early WoW. We took the gamey side seriously - like, that guy and I really prided ourselves on how quickly we could run a group through the dungeon, and optimized the hell out of our pulls - but it was set up to remind you there was a human on the other side of the keyboard, too.

It's the best time I've had (or ever expect to have) with any video game, ever, and I'll never ever go back.
FWIW CLAs do not sign away your ownership in code. It merely gives the project the right to use your code via a license

You know how you sign those end-user *license* agreements, which do not give you ownership in the code of those applications?

That's the same principle at work here. You are licensing certain rights in your work to another entity. Generally, the license is giving the right to, inter alia, reproduce and distribute your code in perpetuity.
For me the worst part of current CGMs isn't the needle or the very thin piece of plastic it leaves behind with the probe. Rather, it's the effect on the skin under the patch and the residual adhesive. So from that perspective a watch would be cool.

Indeed though, advancements in (affordable) closed loop tech matter more than where the CGM is worn.
