No, what I'm saying is not at all contradictory. The separation between the physical medium and artistic work it carries is not a complicated concept to understand.

It is for the same reason you do not own the story in a book you buy. You have a physical stack of paper that's yours to do whatever you want with: read it for your pleasure, prop open the door with it, burn it if you like. However the concept of the story that the book conveys – the particular ordering of the words – is not yours, it (by default) belongs to the person who created it, as they put effort into the creation of that art.

Imagine the world you are fantasizing. You spend a year writing a book, you go to a publisher to have it published. You give them a copy for consideration. You don't hear anything back and then, later, find they have taken your story and published it themselves. It becomes a top selling book. Intellectual property rights are originally envisaged to protect artistic creators from this exploitation, otherwise why would they bother to create in the first place?

(Unfortunately, there is still a lot of large organisations exploiting artists, as they largely control the media that exposes people to art in the first place. This means artists have to sign away their rights in order to get an advance and the promise of exposure.)

It is some sort of virtue signaling.
It might be worth using a lightness estimate like OKLab, OKLrab[1], or CIE Lab instead of the RGB luminance weighting, as it should produce a more perceptually accurate result.

The other issue with your code right now, is that it is using euclidean distance in RGB space to choose the nearest color, but it would be probably also more accurate to use a perceptual color difference metric, a very simple choice is euclidean distance on OKLab colors.

I think dithering is a pretty interesting area of exploration, especially as a lot of the popular dithering algorithms are quite old and optimized for ancient compute requirements. It would be nice to see some dithering that isn't using 8-bits for errors, is based on perceptual accuracy, and perhaps uses something like a neural net to diffuse things in the best way possible.

An early startup starts with jack of all trades. If you needed the full team that even a $10m company would have you are probably not a typical early startup.

The reality is marketing is a skill most people can fudge because they have done it. They have gotten jobs, dates and haggled for a free beer before.

Programming is only something freaks do so the average marketer won't code. And if they do the average coding marketer won't make resilient 99% uptime code without subtle bugs.

Hate to circlejerk but man .... programming to produce robust, correct, reliable systems that do something useful is hard. Despite what the AI bros are hot taking on X these days.

> Why is the police of a single country authorized to investigate EU parliament members just because of the geographical location?

The EU is not a nation. It doesn't have a police. Crimes do not take place on its territory, because it has none. So then it'll fall onto the Belgium (or French) police.

Wrt to the rest: just asking questions, right?
Confidentiality in networking is entirely possible and rolling out such a system would make carriers instantly liable for every phone and internet connection they fail to wiretap.

5G has redesigned several core identifiers to make it harder for middleboxes to MitM/intercept traffic for a specific target. This has led to slowdowns in 5G rollout all over the world, as carriers needed their suppliers to figure out how to wire tap their customers now that they couldn't uniquely identify a customer by a static identifier anymore.

Carriers may have the best intentions for the security and reliability of their customers, but they're legally obligated to deliver plaintext dumps of phone calls on their network somehow. Same goes for other unencrypted side channels such as SMS.

If 6G redesigns the entire network to be fully E2EE, it's essentially illegal to roll out as a carrier. This isn't an engineering problem as much as it is a legal problem.

There are also financial challenges in a secure system. You need to know who to bill for long international three-way calls. That sounds easy, but because of backwards compatibility and many different ways to do roaming, doing billing for mobile phones is an entire industry in itself.
1) Because the crimes are alleged to have occurred in Belgium. That's how jurisdiction works.

2) This is the opposite of convenient. EU would prefer a good working relationship with China given the issues with the US.

3) It was started because there are allegations of corruption.

4) Because no crimes have been committed.

5) Why not ? BlackRock is a global investment bank. It's going to have employees.

I'm fairly certain I can find a sign that says, not verbatim, "no shooting at signs" riddled with bullet holes. There was one near the experimental USDA forest, but I bet I could crowd source another one.

They might be too common to be interesting, but if we can't call them out they will never stop. And the fact that people still do this ridicilous stuff is newsworthy of it's own don't you think?

I think this boils the problem down solely to the individual. What if companies realised this issue and made a period of time during the day devoted solely to learning, knowledge management and innovation. If their developers only use AI to be more productive, then the potential degradation of intellect could stifle innovation and make the company less competitive in the market. It would be interesting if we start seeing a resurgence of Google's mythical 10% rule with companies more inclined to let any employee create side projects using AI (like Cursor) that could benefit the company.

This applies to both construction, IT and probably everthing.

That doesn't answer whether it is fair. Capitalism will always push for a smaller government and with all the power they have at their disposal. At the same time, why can capitalists have their rich-making business schemes while nurses and other (semi) public servants are stuck with whatever society decides is good for them? The system is rigged in favor of capitalists.

The content of this article is in stark contrast to the information I'm seeing from other posters as well as relatively non-partisan sources such as the BBC and Wikipedia. I've done some preliminary fact-checking to try and gauge how much I trust it. Other HN users may find this helpful.

Media Bias Fact Check report on True North:

> These media sources are moderate to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage conservative causes.

The linked article hinges entirely on the content of a few tweets by twitter user @l3v1at4an (https://x.com/l3v1at4an). The twitter user almost exclusively posts about Palestine, Hamas and Hezbullah, with a distinct anti-Islamic and pro-Jewish slant. The subtitles in the videos are translated from arabic and supplied by this twitter user.

Googling for 'Mahmoud Khalil "repeat the strike"' or 'Mahmoud Khalil "kidnap the soldiers"' produces only the True North article as a result.

The above is enough to raise suspicions about the translation quality in the video. Would be great if someone with better knowledge of Arabic was able to verify or refute the translated subtitles.
Interestingly many here fail to note that development of code is a lot about debugging, not only about writing. Is also about being able to dig/search/grok the code, which is like... reading it.

It is the debugging part to me, not only the writing, that actually teaches you what IS right, and what not. Not the architectural work, not the LLM spitting code part, not the deployment, but the debugging of the code and integration. THIS is what teaches you, writing alone teaches you nothing... you can copy by hand programs and understand zero of what they do unless inspecting intermediate results.

To hand-craft a house is super romantic and nice, etc. Is a thing people did for a lifetime for ages, not alone usually - with family and friends. But people today live in houses/apartments that had their foundations produced by automated lines (robots) - the steel, the mixture for the concrete, etc. And people yet live in the houses built this way, designed with computer which automated the drawing. I fail to understand while this is bad?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the patched source code available? It'd be awfully nice of them to update their APT repos for free, but that's nothing more than that: awfully nice. If you rely on their code and don't wish to pay for their support, you could always build the APT packages yourself.

I don't know what kind of community spirit you should expect for a project maintained by a single company like this.

Don't give up. Half of the time when a good language has problems, it just means that the bad languages don't have those problems yet.

You don't need global type-inference and monads to run into your problem. Dynamic languages exist, and even the static ones usually have some kind of 'var x =' local type-inference. And collections like Set probably have a map function.

I think the term 'hackers' has become diluted to the point it just means 'enthusiastic coder' - it hasn't seemed tied to creative thinking or pushing boundaries in some time. That probably stopped around the time the LifeHacks site became popular.
