We prompt the AI. I do not see how AI generated art cannot be copyrighted, TBH, but I am against copyright in general (or the way it is done abroad).

Must read:

https://mises.org/mises-daily/patents-and-copyrights-should-...

https://fee.org/articles/mises-on-copyrights/

TL;DR, FWIW:

Mises supported intellectual property rights, including copyright, as a necessary legal tool in a free-market economy to incentivize creativity and innovation. He viewed intellectual property as a socially constructed right to protect creators' labor but cautioned against excessive or monopolistic extensions that could harm competition and economic efficiency.

Rothbard opposed intellectual property rights, including copyright, as state-enforced monopolies that interfere with the free market. He argued that ideas, being non-rivalrous, cannot be owned like private property. Rothbard believed intellectual property could be protected through voluntary contracts, without state involvement, in a truly free market.

To say on topic:

Mises: Likely supports copyright for AI-generated art if the human user contributes creatively (prompt, modifications).

Rothbard: Opposes copyright for AI-generated art, as he believes intellectual property should be based on human labor and not state-enforced monopolies.
Whoosh, there goes yer context windys :)
I knew a guy in my early 20's, not white, who wanted to be a cop. Once he told me "If I have a bad day, everyone gonna have a bad day." I dont talk to him anymore because he became a cop and turned into a fucking asshole.
I'm still rocking a Pixel 5 simply because I haven't been able to find light, reasonably sized phone, that I can carry relaxed without a case.

Honestly, I don't like the squareish shape, it feels like an imitation Iphone. Just come back to the exact same form, only with newer hardware, please.
Yeah, it’s basically “drained pool politics”. The threat of extrajudicial imprisonment objectively makes the US a less attractive place for business and will hurt us economically. The current administration simply cares
more about resegregating the country and will cut off all our noses to spite our faces.
It is all about which "circles" have migrated. A lot of the people I follow have reported that while having a lot fewer followers, they have a lot more interactions - and a LOT less bot-interference.
I felt the same way, but this thread seems to be full of people primed by Apple Watch pricing. Not sure how much that will translate to purchases in the end though, in my experience these folks are likely to leave a glowing comment and then just stick to their Apple Watches.

As someone who just wanted a low-frills smartwatch and was following repebble for that, I'm disappointed and have unsubscribed from their update emails. This thread at least pointed me towards a bunch of other good options though, so it got me there in the end.
And with Claude Code, it's typically not $0.08... it's more like $0.50, $5.00 just for a roll LOL. Variable rewards gambling addiction? Definitely...
Because they can’t find a printer company who isn’t hateful.
Are you implying that people should only vote on things which they encounter in their day-to-day lived experience? That's silly and not how the world works. Why are you mad about Gaza? You aren't getting JDAMs dropped on your roof, are you? How does Gaza impact you on a daily basis?

Harris failed to distance herself from positions that are deeply unpopular with the majority of Americans (e.g. sex changes for illegal immigrants). That's all there is to it.

If you want to step away from this particular issue, she failed to distance herself from the Biden administration's policies. There's a pretty famous clip of her failing to answer a question to that point, definitely on the youtubes.
Fact. Germans (I am one) are enthusiastic pork eaters, yet the pig makes an appearance in derogatory words e.g. "Schweinerei" for something messy/disgusting or "Sauhund" for a disliked person. Then again, it is also a symbol of luck, e.g. little marzipan pigs, or the expression "Schwein gehabt" for a lucky event.
EU to charge Google under DMA and order Apple to open iOS to accessories
Ironically, Protobuf does have field options for "required" and "optional", but over a decade ago (I guess shortly after it was first introduced), Google added a huge "do not use required! validate required fields in your own logic!" warning to the docs, because a missing "required" field throws out the whole packet. (And when it's time to deprecate a required field -- it's way more effort)

We originally used "required" for fields that must be present and it screwed us over later due to that. Switched everything to "optional" with the code checking for those fields' existence instead.
depends on who. For the average HN person? I imagine it's a wash, some yes and some no. For the average person? I think they see it as a benefit.

Personally? It annoys me a bit because I assume the AI is being done server side and is used to artificially differentiate products.
If that's what you like to do, of course that's fine. If we are going to talk with each other about what we like to do, we need to agree on meaning.

In my thinking, the definition of research is to find truth. As ultimate solutions to that goal, Wikipedia and LLM output lack sufficient accuracy and lack verifiability. Many find them useful as bibliographic tools that point us to accurate, verifiable sources.

Also, research requires looking at the actual evidence - the primary sources; that's where the truth is, that's the foundation of the scientific method. Secondary sources filter the truth through someone else's interpretation, but for amateur researchers that may be all that's realistic - traveling to archives, building or using complex equipment is not realistic. Still, Wikipedia and (almost all) LLMs are tertiary or higher order sources: they are a combination of secondary or higher order sources - Wikipedia doesn't allow citing primary sources as far as I know (which would be necessary for Wikipedia to be a secondary source); LLM input is mostly secondary or higher order sources.

I don't object if you call reading Wikipedia, 'research'. I don't at all object to you doing what you value. But we are talking about two different things.
Paying more of course doesn't improve animals' conditions automatically. Improved conditions would most likely increase the price.

But even with quite hefty price increse, the conditions will still be a living hell. And for an individual eating animals and animal produce is about the most environmentally harmful thing conducted regularly regardless of the price.
The more hostile the EU becomes to operate in, the higher the chance that at least portions of functionality is disabled. The breaking point is never reached...until it is.
You'd only need permission if regulation required it, and we already excepted where regulation is what is getting in the way. So, no, you can pull up your pants just fine.
You have to remember what public transit is like in NA. What in Europe is unacceptable, late frequently, and problematic, is probably the best public transit someone from NA has ever been on, except maybe the NYC subway. It's a really, really low bar. NJTransit is considered one of the best in the US (and it is, unfortunately), and it's worse than anything I saw in Europe when I visited.
Scrapscript – tiny Haskell and JSON with types and weird IPFS thing
I'm afraid you'll find far more non-literal uses of "stranded" than you will find literal ones if you looked at how humans actually use words.

In fact, I'd be surprised if even 1 in 100 actual uses of the word in, say, 2023 matched the definition you've given.

"Left by your friends in an empty car park? Well, there's technically an unlocked bicycle over there..."

Did they care more about "not manipulating NASA for political points" than about astronauts who were stuck in space for 9 months, with all the harmful effects that it entails?
I'd consider the effort of migrating the entire ecosystem to a fundamentally different identity resolution mechanism somewhat of a barrier.
I recently got a Pixel 8a since my Nova 5t died from water damage and I wanted to try GrapheneOS, I wanted a smallish phone with eSIM and it was one of the cheapest phones long term when comparing OS update support length. I still prefer the Nova ergonomics with the fingerprint sensor on the power button and the power button below the volume but aside from that:

The notch is not an issue at all, it appeared larger to me in pictures.

The camera focus has not died on a motorcycle without vibration damping and the phone itself has not died to rain. The plastic back is also nice since I don't have to worry about it cracking.

GrapheneOS has only been problematic with Revolut from which I migrated and Sparkasse's online banking application, although their 2FA app works fine so I can still do everything in browser. Migrating away from them ATM. Past that GrapheneOS has been a joy to use. Very powerful yet simple.

Battery life is kinda iffy and the slow charging is a bit annoying at times.

To me the 9a looks like more of the same essentially so I don't know if I'd spend 550 Eur on it but I'm pretty happy with my 8a for ~330. Though realistically most of my love for it is probably GrapheneOS.
>> I feel like this person has some kind of dark academia aesthetic fetish that they need to hold onto to feel superior to everyone else.

The older I get, the more I'm convinced that people do this less to actually feel superior to others and more as a desperate act of establishing an identity, ANY identity, to simply feel seen and validated in spite of just being yet another person on the planet. This uniquely-human trait seems to run counter to the natural order, where spotted leopards, panthers, elephants, myriad birds all just exist and go about their lives, despite their objective, innate individualities.

We are curious creatures lol
Mysterious accounting AND being hugely overvalued (nearly 6x Toyota) seems like a dangerous place for Tesla to be.
Changes in fashion and lifestyle can shift demand towards types of housing that are more difficult to fulfil, supply-wise.

Essentially if the young and upwardly mobile want suburban sprawl, it's easy to build more of it until the price comes down. If they demand city-center condos, that's a little trickier.
These companies literally say in their SEC filings that "this is profitable only because municipalities artificially restrict supply; allowing more housing to be built would be a material threat to our business":

“We operate in markets with strong demand drivers, high barriers to entry, and high rent growth potential, primarily in the Western United States, Florida, and the Southeast United States.” [0] (emphasis mine)

"The continuing development of apartment buildings and condominium units in many of our target markets increases the supply of housing and exacerbates competition for tenants." [1]

You have the power to wallop the private equity housing buyup strategy by building more houses! Building fewer in order to spite them is literally giving them exactly what they want.

Households with two PMC-type spouses earning PMC-type salaries with generational wealth, set prices in US cities. Preference for cash buyers, as well as buyers that waive inspection (they can afford to), often get precedence in bidding, making the value of cash over credit higher.
Been on an iPhone since the original and mostly until maybe the XS got a new model every other year, since the XS I've been on a 4-5 year cycle, with a 14 Pro to replace my XS.

I also have a Pixel 7 that I use primarily as a home phone stuck on a cheap very few minutes pre-paid plan. I've used it at home on wifi a number of times just to try it out. I think it's... fine? App quality is definitely a negative as I find as a Mac user that some of my favorite developers are better at making iOS apps, or their app is simply not available on Android at all and the alternatives are not nearly as good.

If not for that I probably wouldn't care from a usability perspective, but I still think Apple's focus on privacy and security tend to win out overall. That said, I now carry around a camera with me 90% of the time so I suspect I will be downgrading to a standard iPhone when I upgrade next if the camera carry continues. When I need super pocketable, I use a Ricoh GR, when I need small but great a Fujifilm X100VI, and when I want to go big I have a Sony a7cr full frame camera (still a small camera but FF lenses are much larger than APSC lenses)
Zeus: The fastest way to build AI agents
I'm not in the bay area, and I'm defining "luxury" by price point, not amenities or features. I should have used the term "luxury priced".
The Colorado psychedelic mushroom experiment has arrived
Yes, this. Also, hate to use this argument but this simply doesn't match my lived experience. My rent and income have been going up for the last 10 years and yes that means I'm paying more and more for housing. However, my city rubber-stamped a glut of housing in one neighborhood and as my income went up, I was able to negotiate my rent down.

This phenomenon is a direct contradiction to the thesis of this paper. It is true, the people who people the glut of housing are currently freaking out because their margins are threatened. That's probably a good thing..upto a point [1].

The solution seems simple: rubber-stamp, nay, encourage developers into building gluts of housing so they demolish their own margins into dropping the price of housing.

> I agree that treating reading as the only way to ingest information is probably wrong

The good news is that not only does the "private researcher"
(curious individual person without a research background or job) nowadays have the ability to read online in far-removed libraries, they are even empowered to download the data of many studies, fire up their Jupyter notebooks to replicate
some work.

The danger is that some wannabes create even more noise on the proper science channels that are already polluted by fraudsters generating fake papers via ChatGPT and friends... making it harder for the untrained eye to distinguish between respectable science and pseudo-science.
There is no law in America, only money and violence.
I commented on the article so I suppose I'm engaging with the ideas.

To be clear, I also think it's a shame that people don't read as many books these days, I don't read a huge amount but I feel like I'm at the higher-end of my social circle in terms of reading volume.

Mostly, I don't like the trope that there's some kind of moral imperative to Read More Books and that Things Used to Be Better. Overall I'm philosophically disinclined to draw the conclusion that phones/attention/social media are bad and reading more will improve society. I also have TikTok but I don't think it makes me a worse person.
The cool thing about Conway's Game of Life is that you can't predict it unless you do the full recursion, there is no shortcut. It relates to external undecidability of recurrent processes.
Less. It means that at best there's stuff I'm going to have to waste time disabling, at worst the product will have that crap using resources all the time for no benefit.
Bad actors like to suppress discussion uncomfortable to them. They use ambiguity in rules to cover their actions as "just following the rules!" They know full well what they're doing and why.

didn't headphone jack removal come also because the DAC (Digital-Analog Converter) made interference with the Cellular Modem? Or is it just propaganda I read about online?
You keep going from the benign circumventing as a matter of convenience, to the hyperbolic evading, but yes the same feature set nullifies both, worldwide. It was a folly for the state-concept to get involved in to begin with. Capital follows the path of least resistance.

But ok this is a sticking point, for you. In a stacked bar chart of why people use it and demand block space, that is one of many use case and user story. Its not an argument it’s a fact of life. Any single person with a single use case validates the entire thing, because their use case is valid

You’re still looking for arguments and that isn’t the point. Its not about selling you, you heard an irrelevant person mention “mainstream adoption” or merchant adoption and thought they were for real, all while getting scammed by them. Lots of people have exposure like that just like lots of people fall for scams and phishing campaigns on the general internet. It has nothing to do with what else is going on.

Its not about selling you, People are already in crypto and prefer that method.
I haven't seen a worthwhile innovation in phone design in at least 5 years. Everything is such a marginal gain for a smaller set of use cases. I got my kid a $150 Moto G Power like 4 years ago because it had a giant battery that lasted 3 days. That's an actually useful feature. It still runs everything just fine and has a fingerprint reader. Not much need for anything else.
A bit more also can shield you from price shock - if you buy local.

Could our egg farm sold theirs to some big city for big bucks during the eggsistential crisis? Probably, but they didn’t have it setup and just kept selling through normal channels and basically the same price.
You're getting dumped on here but you're absolutely right. Anyone who has been in software for any amount of time knows this, too. HN is full of software developers--downvoters should know better.

You can put a button in your app that says "Tapping this will drain your bank account and give you cancer" but if it also enables functionality that the user wants, they will tap it.

Is that true? It looks thinner, especially the camera bump.

Makes me want to buy it less for sure, since the maker is clearly focusing on a feature (set) I don’t want to use or support. In the worst case, the AI stuff cannot be disabled and will annoy me on a daily basis.

Real title is “Brussels takes action against Google and Apple despite Trump threat”
The ESP32-S3 has 512 KB of SRAM, and the RP2350 has 520 KB of SRAM. The ESP32-S3-WROOM does indeed come in configurations with additional PSRAM, but that would be comparing apples and pears. The WROOM is an entire module complete with program flash, PSRAM, crystal oscillator etc. It comes in a much larger footprint than the actual ESP32-S3, and it is entirely conceivable that one could create a similar module with the same amount of PSRAM using the RP2350.

Furthermore, the added RAM in both cases is indeed PSRAM. That being said, the ESP32-S3 supports octal PSRAM, not just quad PSRAM, which does make a difference for the throughput.
I'd bet, with the price tag, Amazon and MS were also looking to buy Wiz. That's why the price looks a bit outrageous.

Founders previously sold their security company to microsoft as well.

It protects the photographs that I've taken from the rich to be able to steal it and reproduce them much more cheaply than I can.

It protects the open source contributions that I've made from the rich, by being able to take them and hide them away in a product that doesn't need to abide by the license enforced by copyright.
Yes, I understand this argument and it makes some logical sense. The issue is that when it comes to housing, it doesn't seem to be happening, at least not on the time scale of a couple of decades. Affordable housing is not increasing, and that's where the need actually is.
Low bar? British people tend to compare with rail travel experienced on holidays in places like France. Those systems do seem to be better (I do not have recent experience myself) and this then feeds the usual British tendency to take a rosy tinted view of the rest of the world and pessimism about the UK.

It also varies a lot in different places. Costs vary with types of tickets, who you are, and whether you have various discounts.

Local train services are very weak where I live (Cheshire) so while I can get to major cities quite easily its difficult to travel between towns in the county on trains (or buses).
And you don’t read any articles or look up random stuff like “how to unclog a sink”?

This is not a selling point, FYI
For anyone trying this at home, if you want a starting point, you could use OP's, or you could use the official Filesystem API: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/sr...
There are folks using just this filesystem API for coding: https://x.com/Zirkman/status/1897003182049649000

I'm not sure I would prefer it to using Cursor. I was using Claude Desktop client to edit a bunch of (non-code) text files a couple of days ago, and a couple of times it crashed, and I had to restart it. When this happened, it lost some conversation history, although of course the files it had already edited were fine.

There are other approaches to having Claude edit files, but they're less suited for use with MCP (and hence they don't save cost like the OP does).

A) Aider gives very specific instructions about how Claude should describe patch operations: https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider/blob/dd4d2420df51dc29c2aed...

This works, but I don't know if anyone has tried using this technique in an MCP server. It seems like the way OP and the Filesystem MCP might be superior for small edits, but Aider's approach might be better for multiple edits in a single request-response. It should be possible to do this with an MCP server.

B) Anthropic provides fine-tuned models (text_editor_20250124 and text_editor_20241022) that know a specific text editing protocol: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/tool-us...

You could build a coding assistant like Aider on top of these, but obviously you're then tied to this implementation and it's harder to switch out models. And it wouldn't work with Claude Desktop.
While dramatic, and sometimes necessary to set yourself on fire but most of the times your children will be better off if you push through the storm without burning yourself. They will suffer cold a little longer but watching your parent burn to death will scar them for life.

And that is the problem with child support system. It is ready to burn the father as the first option instead of last resort.
The Great Interest Rate Heist
Isn't housing inherently limited by space, city's ability to plan / permit, and setup / install services?

Even housing builders seem limited in their ability to build.

I'm not sure an "unrestricted" market is a realistic or even desirable concept here.
