Good to know, thanks. It’s reasonable to expect language-specific names, just strange to see it in English (even in German that is a bit weird).
It is worse than that, I never expected that most democracies would go back to foregone days, because people get sold out on populism and decided to ignore history lessons.

How about a consequentialist argument? In some fields, AI has already surpassed physicians in diagnosing illnesses. If breaking copyright laws allows AI to access and learn from a broader range of data, it could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses, saving lives. In this case, the ethical imperative to preserve human life outweighs the rigid enforcement of copyright laws.

I am from Myanmar and Shwe KoKo is the biggest scam hub of the world . Not just online scam they are operating all kind of illegal activities.Myanmar Junta is also part of that and china bordering Laukkai. Laukkai is now liberated and scammers arrested as revolution forces won.
Shwe KoKo is last one to be eliminated .

They advertise recruitment ads of 8000$ a month for working in IT so many youth went there , and forced to end up as sex slaves , scammers , sex cammers . Who refuse to work and try run away are organ harvested or trafficked to china.
They are very dark crime gang not limited to
- Human Trafficking.
- Organ Harvesting.
- Dark Web activities.
- Drug and Women abuses.

The BGF Militia of Saw Chit Thu is working with scammers they have arm forces of 8000 handing that.

In April 2023, Joint Revolution forces led by KTLA Lion Battalion : Saw Eh Say Wah launched an offensive against the Kayin State BGF in Shwe Kokko l . They almost captured Shwe KoKo and BGF (Saw Chit Thu) ran away to Thailand. But during the fight one sact of KNU (biggest rebel forces in Karen area who suppose to be helping KTLA ,but leaders also owns shares in Shwe KoKo ) betrayed KTLA forces and backstabbed Saw Eh Say Wah and KTLA Revolution forces. He barely escaped and estimated 200 of KTLA perished.

Now China is pushing Thailand to shut down Shwe KoKo and elecriticy is now cut off. They are moving operartion more inside of Myanmar.
Ask HN: What will knowledge workers do when most knowledge work is done with AI?
It seems that fairly quickly here 7 or 8 (my estimate) out of every 10 knowledge workers will be out of a job.

There’s nothing malicious about it, they will (and I will too) just be irrelevant.

I get the whole argument about humans have done this before, agrarian > industrial > service economic transitions blah blah. Not saying it’s impossible for broad swaths of people to reskill/repurpose themselves, I just think the structural displacement this time around because of the massive amount of human labor AI makes irrelevant is pretty hardcore.

It doesn't seem like a humans created value X way and now we’ll just create value Y way situation. Instead we'll have to reconsider value creation from zero, post-capitalist world type stuff, no?

He was able to sell it because it is something valuable, exactly because of the copyright protections. Regardless of whether author sells the rights or not, he and his family would equally be better off with copyright.
Yeah that makes sense, can't really disagree. i'm just always wary of othering large swaths of the population as beyond hope. I think so many powerful groups are invested in making us all hate eachother and in my experience we're all a lot more similar than we think

I have a question. Instead of fighting an uphill war in the Linux kernel community, why don't Rush developers just make a new kernel or fork their own? Sure it's going to take years, but at least they don't have to suffer the mental outrages from time to time and can do whatever they want? I mean I'd do it if that's what I want.

P.S I don't have skin and skill for the kernel game. I'm just a curious bystander.
The Rise of the Selfish Plutocrats
I think the second one is more likely. People choose languages and ecosystems which fit their way of thinking so naturally, the ecosystem shifts to that direction. This is a self-reinforcing loop :) (one can naturally see this in many languages when the language advocates say "you are just holding it wrong...")
This was even warranted in 1925, more like 1875.
This is the corollary of the fallacy of appeal to authority: the rejection of an argument on the grounds that the speaker was horribly wrong on an unrelated or very loosely related topic.

If you reject Macaulay on copyright because he was an imperialist, you can use the exact same logic to reject the arguments of essentially every person who ever lived. Very few humans who ever wrote anything important will perfectly align with your morality, and most will be horribly misaligned in at least one way.
I like your optimistic take. My more cynical one is that what’s happening in the US shows that real change is achieved through corruption and lying: honest policy discussions and iterative improvement stand no chance against a charismatic populist who will say anything to entrench an oligarchy.

Who are you referring to by "loosing"?
Indeed. The trouble with subscriptions is that you don't need to make the new version actually good enough to convince people to upgrade, you just need to make it not bad enough for people to abandon the subscription entirely.

I think the same thing happened to Windows and Office.

Having said that, there's probably another elephant in the room, namely the current generation that grew up with phones and tablets and didn't really learn to use traditional computers fluently

Regardless of the why and the politics involved, having a coding assistant block on certain words, especially on common fields like gender, is going to disqualify it for many projects. The fact that a software project uses certain words, doesn't imply anything about the political views or potential abuse in that project. It could be that a project itself wants to censor the same words in content it handles, but now you can't use Copilot on that list. Or it might be a list of words the project wants to promote. You can't know. Making these sort of assumptions in a coding tool is a bad idea, no matter from which angle you look at it.

But I'm not a huge fan of relying on online coding tools. Has anyone tried running Deepseek locally and use it for coding?

Which just means you need a large group to protest. They can arrest 10,000 people no problem, but get several million together and you have an army.

Maybe the problem IS marcan, as Linus suggested.

If you do things that are in the public interest, people are going to have opinions about what you do and on a wide spectrum. If you can't handle that, you probably shouldn't be doing work that's so public and visible. Especially something like maintainer work that is inherently social.
Yeah, I actually saw a presentation at Microsoft's Mix (the web-oriented conference they ran for a while) about the ribbon.

I get why some people are skeptical of “vibe coding”—it sounds like AI blindly generating code and hoping it works. But that’s not really what’s happening.

It’s not about replacing solid engineering principles or craftsmanship—it’s about shifting how we interact with code. Instead of micromanaging every function from the start, you set intent and iterate quickly. It’s more like pair programming with an AI that can help you move faster, not handing over control entirely.

I wrote about this after using DeepSeek R1 + Cursor to prototype an AI chat interface for my Raspberry Pi NAS. It still took over 100 prompts to refine, but it turned what was in my head into something real and functional—faster than if I’d started from scratch. The key is treating AI as a collaborator, not a crutch.

If you’re interested in how natural language + agentic interfaces change how we build, I wrote more on it here: https://productandrobots.substack.com/p/its-a-vibe-dude.

Curious—has anyone else tried pushing AI beyond just simple code generation? How do you think this approach plays out long-term?
The same thing that happened to industrial workers as the areas they lived in deindustrialised.
It is *much* more convenient. When a research path takes me to an article or book - I could buy or order or go to a physical library, that would take hours or days. I could also open it as a PDF in seconds. If you need to read a chapter from a book, or an article, or skim such checking to see if it's worthwhile, 20-30 times to figure something out, then libgen is the difference between finishing in a day or a month.
And that is very fair since brigading is definitely not helping here. However, he should have also done the same to Hellwig for his unproductive behavior, yet he did nothing.

> Maybe closed source is better.

At least in some cases this is plausible. The money people get for working on closed source software irons out some issues, for example:

Some people who voluntarily work on open source code do it for self-actualization, which indicates that they have a strong desire to push their wishes through. This implies that a lot of drama gets involved if these people don't get their way.
They should sell for a price it would make pirating it pointless. Like what Spotify or Netflix did to audio and visual content. Then they can use the exposure to find other ways to make money.

I don’t think this is true. At least in music, bands make far more money from touring and merch than they do from music sales.

If copyright disappeared altogether, most smaller artists would be just fine because they have loyal fans and adjacent monetization strategies.

See: Grateful Dead. They did just fine despite encouraging infringement of IP.

IMO copyright mostly serves to protect the very biggest artists and companies, not the small ones.

When the methods of selection aren’t selective at all (the “qualified” bar on the AT-SAT only eliminated some 5% of candidates), “qualifying citizens” is a bit misleading.

Yes, academy attrition.

I don’t disagree that the 2013 sequester played some role, but to radically change hiring practices in the wake of the sequester and then blame radically higher washout rates primarily on the sequester doesn’t pass the sniff test.

My basic case is simple: when articles and reports considering the reasons haven’t even mentioned this massive change in hiring practices as one contributing factor, shifting to including this as a contributing factor is a genuinely major change, and while it would be convenient for people if it didn’t impact anything I don’t think you can disrupt the pipeline that much and then shrug and attribute all issues to other things. That just doesn’t make sense.

Okay, let's check the paper.

> Thus, the current evidence suggests that current mandatory vaccination policies might need to be reconsidered, and that vaccination status should not replace mitigation practices such as mask wearing, physical distancing, and contact-tracing investigations, even within highly vaccinated populations.

I must conclude, as a party dedicated to the science, that Reform UK therefore would be on board with the above mitigations, if they are genuinely interested in pursuing at least the simplest / cheapest effective mitigations for Covid.

Yeah but to get a million people together you need to plan for it first, and that's where they get you :P It's honestly shocking the state of things in the UK in that regard. I'm surprised there isn't more outrage around it, even the people I know who used to say they hate the Just Stop Oil protesters expressed shock that they've been given 5 years for just talking about a protest, not actually doing it.
Yeah. Structural engineering is probably a good example of this. For any one component (a beam, an anchor, etc.) There might be a dozen or more solutions that would work. The engineer of record (the one in responsible charge) absolutely SHOULD pick the one they are most familiar with. (Different options may have totally different analysis methods) This reduces the cognitive overhead allowing them to focus on other aspects of the design, and reduces the likelihood of making analysis errors.

The incentives are not to grab the latest thing because it's 5% "better" or to pick the shiny new thing because its more interesting. Instead, the engineer of record thinks to themself: "gosh if this fails on a snowy day and kills an assembly of school children, I'm personally liable for it. I've got a lot of experience in the design, construction and verification of this technology, that's the one I'm going to choose." Only when a new technology comes along that is MUCH better will they consider using it. Some may call this an excessively conservative approach, but failures in this regard are very rare as a result.
