Without that "shit show" you would never end up with devices like iPhones and useful software that drove last decades of innovation and progress.

The ability to build better things is the reason why you can now sit here, using technologies built on that "shit show" machine, and bloviate how new generations aren't allowed to build new things anymore because a megacorp needs to feed its greed.
Isn't this in violation of records keeping requirements?
I vaguely remember this hot second you refer to. What is the HN equivalent where those conversations are happening today?
I can't see why this wouldn't be the case, the firmware will be open source and I have to imagine a developer mode will be part of that.
And when you're moving providers you use your application credentials to do that? That makes no sense. This is nonsensical engineering. You'd use your environment credentials to alter the environment.
Wouldn't "see my text messages on my watch" be included in "works pretty well?"
Not allowing third party apps to adjust screen colors seems like a reasonable security boundary to me. For the most part when you close an app on iOS, it gets closed. It doesnt get to keep changing system settings in the background. Would be awful if in addition to notifications, apps also got to adjust your colors.

Screen tinting like that is exactly the kind of thing that should be an OS-feature, not an app feature.

They are similarly quite restrictive on MacOS, with some system-impacting features being locked behind “accessibility” permissions. So that arbitrary apps can’t interact with other apps unless they are actually doing something that needs it like “being a screen reader”.

iOS doesn’t have the same sort of permissions. Apps can’t take over interactions with other apps, or change display settings, etc. This is a security boundary. And changing that specifically for “changing screen colors” seems unnecessary to me.
I think in later cases we'll get some tests to apply about how much human intervention is required.

Who trained the LLM is probably not the issue, the courts would likely want to know about the training material. If I trained a model exclusively on Warhol art, and then had that model create new images in Warhol's style, I didn't do any of the creative work and probably don't get the copyright. Warhol's estate probably owns the copyright to the model generated images as they are derivative works.

I do think that a model trained on many different artists' works, with me providing substantial feedback to the model (and I can show the process), probably will at some point give me the copyright.

Somewhere there is a line:

- "Make a picture of a mouse." Probably not giving you copyright

- Using a model to erase a powerline in a photograph you took. Probably you own the copyright to the original image and the one without a powerline in it (regardless of how many other people's images the model was trained on).

- "Make a picture of a mouse, who is bipedal, wearing pink shorts, with a chip in his ear, wearing sunglasses, with scruffy whiskers, holding a surfboard, on his way to the beach to hit some waves." then updating with "make him shorter, give him blue sneakers" and then updating with numerous other tweaks until you get it just the way you want. Who knows where this lands?

I think that in the short term the courts are going to land on the side of "anything made by a model trained on existing artwork is derivative of the training set so you can't own the copyright, no matter how much you tweak it." I think eventually the courts will recognize there is some amount of input that makes the computer image the realization of a vision in your head, and not a derivative of the training set. Just how every individual musical note has been played before, but at some point, you put them together in an arrangement that is original.
Apple uses LPDDR4 which comes in densities of up to 16Gb AFAICT. So they can have ~5X as much memory using the same bus width.
nope. post here from 9/11 2001, no warning [0]. it's fine if they added a check recently to flag backdated posts, but there's no telling how many incorrectly-timed things went up before they added that ([0] is from about a year ago, fwiw). the whole early history of the platform is questionable, and it's just shoddy protocol design.

Not entirely baseless - opioid ODs (a good chunk of them from fentanyl) kill 100K+ Americans every year. About time someone did something with that. Why Biden didn't do anything about it is a mystery - it's a slam dunk issue that'd poll really well.
What the hell is iceberg now?
I dunno man. I'm just typing what I hear & say. The first is "I do not think I would have done that", more or less. The second is "I could not have done that" but with an agreeing second negative? Like a hill people "I wouldn't do that if I weren't you."

Do the same thing but with music. There's a ton of existing case law around stealing people's money when their music just happens to contain a handful of similar notes. People have even lost in court for recording music that was entirely different from another artist's work but was in the same genre. (https://abovethelaw.com/2018/03/blurred-lines-can-you-copy-a...)
Show HN: "Git who" – A new CLI tool for industrial-scale Git blaming
I've always wanted a better way to explore the authorship data embedded in a Git commit log. I'm having fun building a CLI tool to do this.

It's a bit like the "Contributors" tab on Github that shows you how many commits each contributor has made but much faster and with many more options.

If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions. Thank you!

And call your local tech schools. Some states have programs to fund tech certificates. For example, in Kentucky, or one has no income or poverty for a while, the CDL training is free without needing student loan type assistance. If you can get student loans, enroll in the cheapest college possible and max them out, then pay for a studio apartment somewhere cheap and save every dime, and use the 'address' to get a job that doesn't require local commutes resources -- like trucker. Utah used to be the political debates for having solved homelessness. I thought Utah gave apartments to homeless people? Or you coukd get a bachelors in social work and then a phd, live on loans and stipends for 6 years or so, and obtain a licensed occupation. Information technology/tech is a road to sadness and nobody in your position should aim at it
As much as I appreciate the author's effort, if I have to enter my email to get the "free" book, then the book is not free.

There's even better approach for big companies with huge budgets that need to get products right:

Get validation team as an addition to your own tests.

You start with specification and both teams - dev and val start developing parallelly.

They'll develop their own tests, then review your code with huge focus on finding bugs, security issues and so on.
As I understand that is a misunderstanding of the case. They argued that the animal should get the copyright, and lost, because animals do not qualify. They did not establish that pressing the button is required for the human to qualify for copyright. They established that a monkey pressing the button doesn't qualify the monkey. (because the monkey never qualifies)

If they would have argued that the human should have got copyright for it, they almost certainly would have agreed. It's just, that wasn't the case they put forth.
Good luck finding it for less than $9K, and it has half the VRAM, and older chip. I predict MSRP of no less than $15K, with IRL prices above $20K.
IMO, the absolute best book is The Richest Man in Babylon. It's a story about a man who slowly becomes super rich by doing some common sense things (e.g. saving money). It's a super fun and motivating read. Perfect for high school/college kids.
Thank you for writing this. This is how I feel about 10.5 years into my PhD praying the job market comes through for me.
BJ Fogg's book Tiny Habits is great, particularly about the important of motivation vs ability in starting new routines. His main point is that ability relative to the task is much more important than motivation, because motivation is volatile. That is, it's much more likely that your ability to do something will remain stable long term than your motivation to do something. So if you choose really easy things to do to start a new habit (drink a glass of water in the morning), your motivation won't matter much, and the habit will stick.

https://www.amazon.com/Tiny-Habits-Changes-Change-Everything...

So I think Piers is skating over that very important part of the equation.

Another piece of it is, if you manage to get healthy somehow, sleep better etc, then your motivation changes; the base level is reset. You have more energy to spare which you can devote to goals.

But I think there is a simpler way to think about motivation, which comes down to the ratio of effort to reward. The smaller the effort-reward ratio of a given activity, the more likely one is to do it. That single idea seems to rule my own behavior and that of many people I see. But it's also something you can hack, partly by using Fogg's idea of starting small. To change a behavior (and ultimately, your life), you just need to find a small enough starting activity to trigger action. It's not about motivation at all, and all the "motivational speakers" out there are misleading people in some fundamental way about the path to change.

One of the traps in that dynamic is that as we decrease the magnitude of the activity (drink a glass of water as oppposed to "go to the gym once a week to get stacked"), our motivation decreases as it loses its grandiose visions of change. I don't think task size and motivation necessarily decrease at the same rate tho. And I do think that grandiose visions are sometimes a form of self-sabotage or psychological homeostasis; ie "i'm only motivated to do things that i can't follow through on."
More importantly, its a tool to paint the fact that fentanyl is imported from Mexico as an actual attack and use it as a pretext for another domestic invocation of the Alien Enemies Act targeting people in America for arbitrary action without due process, after the one using Tren de Agua as the pretext.

This, in turn, is a tool to try to advance Trump’s mass ethnic cleansing policy, without the case-by-case judicial oversight which it would otherwise be subject to.

The whole disdane for this plant, is rooted in the lawn mania.

It should be noted that most sod grasses are also an invasive species in most places. And in the western US, where water is not as available as it is in South Carolina, sod lawns also require a lot of water from the Colorado River that could go to much better use.

They also, uinlike sod, don't require mowing since they don't grow to multiple feet in height if left unattended.

The US concept of a sod grass lawn as a standard home feature is another example of the US's arrested development in Happy Days.

Go mow the lawn Richie!!!
Microsoft absolutely got in trouble for purposefully making other Office suites not work correctly on Windows, for using private Windows APIs in Office that other companies didn't have access to, etc.

If Apple makes a watch that can receive and send iMessages then there is no reason any other device shouldn't be able to use the same APIs that Apple uses.

It absolutely creates a system where competitors literally cannot compete with the same features.

Okay with this level of integration in daily, private life (able to record background noise not related to the request…potentially or actually), consider this:

It’s not a fantasy, we were there at some point and we deliberately moved from it.

When Unix was the norm, everyday employees knew how to navigate a shell. In highschool I had a friend working at the bank. You know what she did all day? Ran SQL queries to make reports. No degree. She wasn’t a programmer. She was a financial analyst.

Now we have people constructing database systems in an excel workbook on a share drive somewhere, but even that’s fading. Now we have people creating systems in Discord and spending 20 hours a week moving data from point A to point B. Tasks that someone 20 years ago could trivially automate. They don’t know how anymore.

We have lawyers paying 20 paralegals to maintain and consolidate a document shared between 10 parties with 50 revisions floating around. We’ve had version control for decades. They refuse to learn. They would rather spend the enormous amounts of man hours doing what is essentially manual labor.

It’s clear that computers are a huge part of our lives. You can learn to use them or you can burn hours - but you can’t opt out.

I mean, Jesus Christ kids these days don’t know what a directory is. We had a short window of computer literate everyday people and then poof! Gone! But the need for computers is still here. And we can’t quite talk to them and tell them what to do yet.

A few years ago my workplace got rid of our on-premise install of fogbugz. I tried to clone the site with HTTrack but did not work due to client-side JavaScript and authentication issues.

I was familiar with C#/webview2 and used that: generate the URL’s, load the pages one by one, wait for it to build the HTML, and then save the final page. Intercept and save the css/image request.

I was on POP for two years now, I switched to an Arch derivative called EndeavourOS which makes installing Arch a breeze. I did discover someone working on an Atomic version of Arch (where the core OS is frozen for a set period of time, to ensure total stability, and nothing can break during this window) called Arkane Linux, which I might try.

I have no intention of returning to Windows.

"The West Health-Gallup Survey was conducted via the web from Nov. 11–18, 2024, with a nationally representative sample of 3,583 U.S. adults aged 18 and older. The margin of sampling error is ±2.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence level."

OK, so is this article about what three to four thousand people are experiencing? And speculatively applied to Americans as a whole? Or are they using another source to say what "millions" of people are experiencing? And that "billions" were paid?

The part about race was done better than usual. It just said what they borrowed.

At a group level, I'd still rather see borrowing broken down across these attributes: working vs non-working; health practices; education level; income-to-spending ratio; attempts to save money. I have a feeling those attributes will be better predictors.

Since some attributes are intrinsic problems (eg poverty) and some are consumer responsibilities, we could see if disparities still exist that justify policy change vs people's circumstances or actions being primary cause. How much is personal responsibility? How much requires small changes to existing system? What requires either supplementary measures or an overhaul?

Weaponizing a Workplace: How Algorithmic Mgt Shaped Amazon's Antiunion Campaign
I don't see this to be a problem worth solving.

Some problems are problems but for a startup to succeed it needs to be a very important problem.

Having a unique insight is also not enough. It needs to be a highly leverageable insight or advantage. One that you can use in this startup; as you grow your leverage it will help you get users and revenue.

Neither seem true here. When that happens, the journey is a grind, you try to push hard but people don't seem interested.

how do I get motivated? well I have to believe there is a 'leverageable' insight or angle that will grow when I make progress ;) belief that it's a big problem people care about and that I am growing unfair advantage over time solving it.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes I try to live by..

"Tenacity is a most underrated quality in life. We all speak about talent, intelligence, glamour. But tenacity is the common thing for every successful person in life. Maintain that motivation to go from A to B and to keep your focus on that target without any weakening. That is called tenacity; stamina in your motivation."

Totgesagte leben länger, and such. The problems for German car makers were never that they could not deliver BEV, but that people would not buy them in numbers which would justify complete transition. Manufacturers like BMW, who were driving a more cautious, dual BEV/Hybrid approach for the same model did much better, and it is not like an BMW i4 is not a very good BEV.

Stamina without Persistence is rather useless. Applying persistence constructively is the major differentiator in my view. The notion that a majority of humans reach a level of effort, in daily life or their pursuits, where stamina becomes a factor is likely single digit percentage of the population, say in the US. Stamina maintaining an addiction or survival as a homeless person is not the same as multi-hour Twitch streaming, so to speak.
