Heyy! Thank you so much for the support and for being one of our early launchers with DOrch! It really means a lot to hear from makers who've used the platform, especially in these early days. How was your launch experience? Would love to hear any thoughts you have that could help make it better for future makers. Rooting for DOrch's success too. Cheers!
How many times have Meta, Google, Amazon, Twitter, et all misused databases full of personal private information and no one has raised the slightest fuss?

The privacy aspect while important given the Uganda example, feels like its really part of a much larger ecosystem.

The Platforms store, buy, sell, trade, exchange personal data for Attention Capture which is then traded for cash or reputation/status in the real economy. There are people who think the Attention economy might just replace the real economy if your rep on a platform gets you more stuff than someone who has a whole lot of cash in the bank.

Right now the platforms through their algos (feeding on personal data) mediate what people pay Attention too and how global human Attention is distributed.

Everyone needs some base level of attention/love/desire/intimacy etc which is tied to their self esteem. If people don't get that base level in healthy ways, or aren't taught properly how to get it they start acting up. Platforms have supplanted normal human ways people get this stuff by drip feeding them likes, follower, click counts, karma pts etc

And then there are people like Trump and Elon who don't have base level need but a limitless need for Attention/love/respect. And the platforms again supply these kind of people too. Cause they get free user generated content in return which is used for further attention capture.

Encryption and privacy are not going to solve anything until we have better theories about Attention. Its hard to fall in love with anyone if their Attention is under constant assault.

1997 - Windows 98, HP 4000 printer drivers assumed you had the floating point libraries loaded into windows, and just dynamically unloaded them whenever they felt like it. So, everything would work fine, until you did something that had to compute the page dimensions (and thus use floating point).

Forcing the loading of the floating point libraries fixed it, but it took months to track it down.

It turns out it was an optimizing compiler that HP didn't properly set the options on, in their make setup.

Because of the copyright enforcement section of the TPP?
A country taking pride in a major AI breakthrough, with people celebrating the achievement, is now being framed as a deliberate attack on the U.S. stock market. If we're being fair and impartial, that feels like sour grapes.

The reality is that stock market values are shaped by large companies operating in dynamic, cutting-edge fields. Any significant advancement in those fields will naturally impact shares.

For example, if a photonic-based CPU were released tomorrow, it would affect companies like AMD, Intel, and ARM—just the way markets work. History is full of similar disruptions, from pharmaceutical breakthroughs reshaping the drug industry to the rise of electric vehicles. Tesla’s emergence didn’t exactly boost traditional car manufacturers, but that was widely accepted because it was an American company.

Market disruption happens more often than people realize. The difference here is that AI has been heavily hyped, leading to inflated stock values. When a field like this is so dominant, any leap forward—especially from a competitor—will inevitably have an impact. If investors put too many eggs in one basket, volatility is to be expected.

Ultimately, China achieved something impressive despite adversity. Instead of blaming them for their progress or for sharing their advancements with the world, we should applaud it. Spinning this into a conspiracy misses the point. If anything, the real issue lies in the hype-driven nature of the AI market itself.

As they say—diversity solves many things, stock markets included, though I'm sure in the days/weeks/months ahead - I expect a campaign of Deepseek is just wanting to capture people's data with it for the Chinese government and others more sinister allegations, though I'm sure China could claim the same from GPT and the like just as equally. Still, we never hear about that.

To me the core problem is that the criminal justice system doesn’t work. A man broke the law, was caught, and received no punishment.

If the argument is “we can’t give powers to police because they can be misused” this is an argument for disarming them entirely. To me that is just giving up. Instead, we need to fix systems to hold them accountable.

The EU and the UK generally has something akin to "sweat of the brow", where collections of facts that took time to collate are copyrightable.

But in the US, Feist v Rural explicitly disavowed the sweat of the brow doctrine, and said that facts have no copyright value--a work requires a quantum of original creative spark to be copyrightable (it was discussed in the context of phone books--a phone book does still have some residual "thin copyright", but the listing of phone numbers is not copyrightable, and it is actually difficult to infringe on the thin copyright of a phone book). In the US, your example would easily be found to be not infringing, if the only similarity were reproducing the same 100 facts.

That's all well and good but this doesn't seem equivalent to this Duolingo subreddit where mods and other users were providing support, and I am not sure why they spent so much time acting as unpaid customer support, as they mentioned. It seems like mods self-flagellate on reddit and eventually burn out.

I guess it's been over a year since the reddit blackouts, we were due for more ludicrous drama and laughably inflated moderator egos. I wouldn't be surprised to see similar posts in other subreddits, at least until Reddit swoops in at someone's behest and threatens to take their toys away.

Duolingo only has themselves to blame though, I'm struggling to name another non-social media app who has cultivated a fanbase with such a weird parasocial relationship with it.

It's a tax dodge IIUC. You buy crypto, it increases in value. If you sell it you may have to pay capital gains tax on any materialised gains.

Does it not strike anyone else as wrong that a printer that you own has to do the bidding of the government instead of you? That you have to pay for it to be forensically watermarked against your own interests? And why have all these companies just taken orders from 3 letter agencies about this? Doesn't anyone have integrity? Isn't there anyone who believes that your own possessions shouldn't be made to conspire against you?

I guess the whole smartphone thing answers that question far better than a printer...

Yeah, though Amazon could just make their own copy available without compensating the uploader.
> The intermediate code for a checked array access, though, should be indicating that the value of the indexing expression is to be moved into a temporary register. The code which checks the value and performs the access refers to that temporary register. Only if the storage for the temporary registers (the storage to which they are translated by the back end) changes randomly would there be a problem.

You'd almost certainly pass it as a function parameter, prima facie in a register/on the stack, sure, and therefore in unoptimised code nothing weird would happen. But an optimising compiler might inline the function call, observe that the value doesn't escape, and then if registers are already full it might choose to access the same memory address twice (no reason to copy it onto the stack, and spilling other registers would cost more).

I don't know how likely this exact scenario is, but it's the kind of thing that can happen. Today's compilers stack dozens of optimisation passes, most of which don't know anything about what the others are doing, and all of which make basic assumptions like that the values at memory addresses aren't going to change under them (unless they're specifically marked as volatile). When one of those assumptions is broken, even compiler authors can't generally predict what the effects will be.
It seems intentional, though?

Absolutely. LLMs use methods that are not really provably solving the given problem, they just happen to work in most relevant cases. That's a heuristic.

There are different kinds of tournaments. Some of them are setup so the really rare cards aren't even allowed, some put a limit to one (for, like, a black lotus), some disallow them, some are only the current cards, and some you get a set of random cards when you start. There's all kinds of different tournaments, and the ones where you're allowed to use those rare cards work under the assumption they're valid.

To be honest, I haven't been to a MtG tournament in decades, so take that all with a grain of salt. But it should be _relatively_ accurate.
I didn’t have time to work up a repro, but the issue is a classic one with the basic algorithm you use for your ComputeSignal graph. The issue is that during the fan-out after a change at a root, a ComputeSignal that’s recomputing can read a stale out of date value from a ComputeSignal that has not yet recomputed for the change.

The simplest solution to implement is to do two phase propagation, the first phase marks all ComputeSignal as “dirty” so any read of them must re-compute. Then in the second phase you do what you’re already doing which is to walk down, re-computing, and stop at ComputeSignals that didn’t change. There are other approaches like using a logical clock that have different balances between time complexity at write time and time complexity at read time.

Besides the correctness issue, the eager depth first strategy can re-compute the same ComputeSignal multiple times for a single change to a root. This can also be solved with the dirty phase, because once a dirty ComputeSignal becomes clean you don’t need to re-compute it again during that write’s fan-out.
I'm not as familiar with Yarvin as I am with partisan media narratives. My problem with these kinds of insinuations, is that one quote or citation of Yarvin is easily spun into the conclusion that the incoming administration is following all of Yarvin's writings, no matter how obscure.

Partisan journalists are incentivized to selectively quote Yarvin's works to scare their partisan audience. The wildest and most fearful conclusions gain the most clicks and views.
Choosing not to buy is still a choice and it seems like it's not so illusory as to escape notice by reporters and (by extension) the companies themselves.

However, if it states the facts in exactly the same way, that could be considered infringing because of the creativity presumably involved in deciding how to state each fact.

"Elephants are enormous mammals, usually grey in color, with significant intelligence and social habits. They are native to portions of Africa and Asia, with different elephant species found in each region. They are famous for their strong and dexterous trunks, which can also be used to communicate something like a trumpet. Humans, especially in South Asia, have long admired elephants and used them for transportation and various kinds of work; African elephants are famous for having been ridden to war by the Carthaginians, to the dismay of their Roman opponents. Today elephants are significantly threatened by various human activities, both those intentionally directed at the elephants (like killing them for meat or for the ivory derived from their tusks) and those not deliberately meant to affect them (like deforestation). While our word for elephants comes from the Greek, it was probably borrowed by the ancient Greeks from another language family."

I just wrote this paragraph about elephants based on my own knowledge. There is no copyrightability of the substantive information here (e.g. if you learned something new about elephants, you can tell other people) but there is probably some copyrightability of the paragraph based on things like the creativity of my word choices. That distinction can sometimes create confusion in discussions about "facts", and I'm not positive that legal standards that are meant to clarify it have always given a clear and workable rule.
