Or let's put it another way: If what they care about is benchmark integrity, what reason would they have for demanding access to the benchmark dataset and hiding the fact that they finance it? The obvious thing to do if integrity is your goal is to fund it, declare that you will not touch it, and be transparent about it.

The answer is: music schools. We don't see this in the west so much, but Yamaha run the worlds largest networks of music schools, predominantly in Asia.

The DX21, DX100, DX27, FB01, TX81Z .. product range .. is designed to cover the following use cases: music schools, karaoke bars, normal bars, and hobbyist musicians. In fact, Yamaha's biggest FM-based products (in terms of sales generated) is the karaoke market, where the more 'sophisticated' synths would be used by karaoke artists to create the MIDI files that then get shipped off to be 'played back' on the karoake-friendly devices, such as TG-series.
Witness mastodon, which got the biggest free shot at goal ever but utterly failed because it was unusable by ordinary people.

Yes, but this can still be true if the system works in a perverted way.

In your example, you should include how many $ go to the entity doing the allocation. If this is an insane amount of money, then maybe we are better off without finance and just figure out the optimal allocation in some other way.
If anything, WW1 happened because there were too many empires rather than a lack of any dominant powers.

Unless you’re suggesting that what the world needs is a single dominant empire? Which would be an odd position to take because history has proven that monopolies are much much worse for abusing power.

Maybe if/when we colonise other planets we can think of the Earth as a single government with countries acting like states (kind of like the EU but with less sovereignty for each state). However that’s only going to happen if we work together and generally cooperation is viewed as counterproductive to empire building. So we come full circle back to my original point.
> A democracy that is NOT a direct democracy is already admitting this. This is exactly the reason we have proxies in a representative democracy.

Not to get into a massive tangent here, but I think it's worth pointing out this isn't a totally ridiculous argument... it's not like you can ask ChatGPT "please read me book X".

Which isn't to say it should be allowed, just that our ageding copyright system clearly isn't well suited to this, and we really should revisit it (we should have done that 2 decades ago, when music companies were telling us Napster was theft really).

This article could be an unintentional case study in why letting patterns emerge beats designing them upfront. Java devs insisted on enum classes while JS devs gravitated towards plain objects tells us something about language evolution.

Makes me wonder if it was a mistake to include them at all instead of letting the community converge on patterns naturally, like we did with so many other JS patterns.
In ~2006 I had a similar experience arranging my work placement during university, although I was earning a bit more — £16k for software development in the South East, just outside London. The banks were certainly offering a lot more, £30-something-k.

The university careers person said five banks would each take all fifty of us, just on the basis of us being Imperial College students, so we should apply them and forget anything else we were interested in as it wouldn't pay well. She couldn't understand the person who wanted to work at a computer game company.

We complained to the head of department, who was furious. A short time later there was a new careers person.

I used OSX from 10.0.0.4 to 10.4 and it was OK then. I recently had to use a Mac for work something-something-tree-whatever and it's slow even on an M1, it's double the weight of an X1 carbon, and the window manager hasn't evolved meaningfully and is junky. I haven't had so many troubles with arranging windows on two screens in almost 20 years.

Maybe people have been slowly boiled? I got my partner on a Mac 10 years ago but would not get her another Mac. Apple's push to make evetything e-waste, foxconn, and the general surveillance in the name of security ensure that. My observation is less that it has aged "like a fine wine" and more that Macs become prisons shaped like a computer.

I don't think I phrased that right. What I mean is environments with a lot of natural light, for example from big windows. Or a café without walls to the outside, letting the sunlight in, but not right overhead. I guess this kind of architecture is not so common in colder countries, now that I think of it.

The sun is tyrannical where I live, so with current display technology, offices are indeed built somewhat like caves.

They don't have a choice. ASML licenses the intellectual property for EUV lithography from the US government. Therefore they follow US export control laws on EUV machines.

Changing values (after a change in an external interface), tracking use and renaming is harder in the first case. In the second case, the code can change the value at runtime.
The challenge is that the people who live in an area use the rules in such a way as to make building new homes very expensive or outright impossible. The people who would like to live in that area have no say, and lack representation.

The bigger picture here is that it means even two rational people can inadvertently make the situation worse for themselves.

Person A lives in City A, but wants to move to City B

Person B lives in City B, but wants to move to City A

Person A votes to make it hard to build new homes in city A, because it makes their own home worth more.

Person B votes to make it hard to build new homes in City B, because it makes their own home worth more.

It makes sense in a self-interested way but both wind up worse off.

I think they also haven't gotten very much attention in the last few years as new features have been added. Nine times out of ten, if I hit a weird case where TS doesn't understand some type that it really seems like it should understand, it involves an enum. And if I rewrite the enum as a union type and update the other code that uses it, my issue goes away.

I agree they should just formally deprecate it.
Considering the differences in living prices in major capitals and other cities, I would claim you can do that (career break/retire early) even today in multiple countries in Europe.

But that would mostly mean changing places. If you go and work 10-15 years in an expensive/high pay city, you could retire in a less expensive city.

On the other hand if you expect that everything will be as when you were working (place, expenses, etc.), I am not sure it is the case even in the US for early retirements ...

Sure, absolutely. But it isn't due to intellectual property.

This is an interesting thought experiment, but how is it relevant in practice? In free-speech countries, people are not exposed to just a single source of information.

It would help if the cities and larger towns built higher and denser.
That’s a big part of it. But mostly it’s that your dev+deploy+evaluate cycle is so much slower. With web software you can write a feature or bug-fix and push to prod in minutes - and repeat that many times a day. With hardware each equivalent cycle is weeks or months (especially in my vertical - farms).

Ah Albanian mason who has been living in Italy since the 90s told me a story about bunkers. I cannot date it to a year nor assess its truth but here it is.

A Minister (maybe Defense? Army? whatever) went to check the new bunkers. They looked good but he asked to the chief engineer how he could be sure that Hoxha would be satisfied with them.

"You know, if he thinks they are not good I'm dead."

"They are very good."

"So you must get in. We will shell the bunker and check if it's really as good as you say."

The engineer was not happy with that but the choice was between getting in or die immediately. He got in and they shelled the bunker all day long. The bunker survived, the engineer eventually recovered from the experience (temporary deafness and other problems) and the Minister could bet his own life on those bunkers.

> Changing values (after a change in an external interface), tracking use and renaming is harder in the first case.

You can rename the elements of a string union with the typescript language server. In VS Code at least, it's just like renaming a variable, and it updates the usages which use the type.

> In the second case, the code can change the value at runtime.

You can always freeze the object if you're worried about that.
Would it not be buried? Plant matter dies and goes into the soil. Otherwise they would not be Carbon sinks at all.

There is a more subtle link too. The fact that you can blame fires on climate change, means that people can evade accountability for poor management of forests (and other risky land) which means they can skimp on spending on reducing risk - e.g. through controlled fires.
No need for anger. The vast majority of websites that you stumble upon are articles, and they open fine in reader view or in forced reader view.

Where it reliably doesn't work is web application type sites, which is a given.

So reader view solves the problem in most of the cases, and in the cases where it doesn't solve the problem it doesn't make anything worse either.

The passport, as Yugoslavia was a non-aligned country, allowed its holders to travel very widely, not just to the West. That, combined with Yugoslavia’s brief economic prosperity in the 1960s and 1970s, is why Yugoslavs were one of the European nationalities embarking on the Istanbul–Kathmandu trail, and in discovering Bali as a mass-tourist destination alongside Germans and Nordics.

That everything went to shit around the time that Tito declined and died (though correlation is not necessarily causation), does much to explain the nostalgia that you will still occasionally meet. However, that nostalgia has been challenged in recent decades through the wars and their aftermath. Serbian, Croatian, and Kosovar nationalism regard, for different reasons, Tito’s pan-Yugoslav project as inimical to their respective national interests, and nationalist rhetoric has a firm grip on many sectors of local media.
When I read about Poland I see stuff saying they just banned coal and there are traditions of burning yard waste. I saw an article stating that in 2022 all fireplace manufacturers need to meet new standards which normally implies the existing are grandfathered in. I would still wonder about what percentage of the pollution is from inefficient burns.

On the other hand pollution standards can leave a lot to be desired and the EPA certification is being gamed [1].

I am interested in this topic- I would like to get the least polluting wood stove available (in the US).

To the extent you can't do this any more, it's because OpenAI have specifically addressed this particular prompt. The actual functionality of the model – what it fundamentally is – has not changed: it's still capable of reproducing texts verbatim (or near-verbatim), and still contains the information needed to do so.

How did this happen? Why does the US gov own the IP of technology developed in the netherlands by a dutch company?
The lithographic light source is US ip being created on US shores. If they do that it will be the last EUV machine ASML will make in the EU.

Hell i would bet ASML will move to US than stay in EU, if the US says move to the US and we will allow you to do business with China again.

Also it looks like China has multiple EUV tracks on going from SSMB to that tin based EUV that ASML works with.
