I was personally referring to EB5[1]

<< Further, if there is no difference IYO, then why is Trump proposing something new?

Eh, I have a personal theory, but that one will likely need some time to confirm. The shortest, handwavy way I can offer is politics ( and separation/differentiation from existing EB5 ), but I am open to alternative explanation.

<< It's important to remember those were not the only ways, they just happened to have be the most effective,

True, but I am questioning how much some of this stuff will be increasingly challenging to evade. The fact that beneficial owner version in US was effectively scrapped suggests the AML regimes were getting pretty close to the issues you were referring to. And, as always, conversations within the industry players are discussing more monitoring, more data.. not less.

<< The fact that governments only chipped at the edges with no systemic changes is telling.

That is true, but it does not prove that capital has no borders ( original point of contention ).
There's something rather cringeworthy about the heavy and painful animations etc. on this website trying to create a 1970s computer technology vibe but instead just giving me a headache. I'd much prefer the same information, and the same vibe, with some much less fancy, lightweight easy to read web tech that actually simulates an authentic 1970s experience (I remember that era well! I'm an 8080 programmer myself from way way back).
Show HN: Vibe Coded Bird Classifier for Photographers
My dad is a bird photographer.
Everyday, he comes home with hundreds of photos and spends hours identifying and classifying the photos into folders.

I used Gemini to do the bird identification for him. It's not perfect, but it's not too bad.

And I wrapped it into a GUI so that my dad could use it.
Interestingly enough, i just wrote a python script to take a few inputs and do the classification - and then asked Cursor to build me the GUI for it. It worked almost perfectly in the first try :)
If the U.S. adds more tariffs, some companies may not want to hire workers from other countries. i work online for different places, so if one country changes its rules, i still have work.

last time the rules changed, some companies hired people from their own countries instead. if this happens again, it may be harder to find jobs in the U.S.

to be safe, i try to work with people from many places, not just one.
> You're allowed to draw IP and share your drawings.

No you're not, not in general. The copyright holder has the exclusive right to prepare and distribute derivative works.

> You're allowed to screenshot and photoshop IP.

Again, no, not in general.

> You're allowed to sell tools that help others draw and photoshop IP*.

Sort of. You're allowed to sell tools that might be used for those purposes. You're not allowed to sell tools as "for that purpose" or advertise those use cases.
Very different. They were not kidnapped by secret police or held in inhumane conditions in far away jails.
> It's a mindset I don't understand.

one of the scenarios is the person that is not looking on the enjoyment of "winning", but instead diving on the "trolling" realms of ruining the fun of others.

its irrelevant if he gets a ban because when he hears someone getting mad at him or sad, he gets a boner.

the mentality of "trying to punch people that cant defend themselves" is the description that i give of these to people that dont play video games. (because most wouldn't cheat without the anonymity)
Are you the lead recruiter for this role? I really like my chances for this position so would really appreciate it if you could see my resume directly.
Are you reading a whole encyclopedia each time you assigned to a task? The one thing about learning is that it compounds. You get faster the longer you use a specific technology. So unless you use a different platform for each task, I don't think you have to read that much documentation (understanding them is another matter).
The statistical methods can detect things orthogonal to performance KPI’s. Automation has “tells” - little things they do differently from what humans would do. Reliably discriminating those signals is a hard problem.
> "...so printouts of code would be thrown in trash. And that's where Bill Gates found the source code for Basic interpreter, which he ported and it became the first Microsoft product"

Both sources you link to say Allen and Gates pulled listings of the PDP-10 operating system out (probably DEC's TOPS-10?) of the trash. BASIC is not an operating system. So your claim is debunked by your own sources.

"...digging out the operating system listings from the trash and studying those. Really not just banging away to find bugs like monkeys[laughs], but actually studying the code to see what was wrong."

This is such a great contrast:

> But they vote a straight blue ticket because that's what they learned to do back in the 1960s.

and

> but still votes red because she was raised in a religious household and came of age during the peak of the right's lean toward peddling to christians.

There's no explanation for why the old man votes "blue" other than he learned it in the 60s. OTOH, the woman votes "red" because "she was raised in a religious household" and started voting when The Right was "peddling to christians".

"peddling" -- that's a pretty negative term.

I don't know if it's ironic or demonstrative that an article about how difficult it can be to have political conversations produces a comment thread with such biased viewpoints.
The source code is such a fun read (for the comments). I found some source code for GW-BASIC, and here are two of my favorites:

Thor would have red hair in the imaginary world, rather than being a Blonde man which was made to be a somewhat distinguished comic book character.

The Disney or otherwise copyrighted versions allow for unique spins on these old characters to be re-copyrighted. This Thor from Disney/Marvel is distinguished from Thor from God of War.
Microsoft (and maybe even Bill Gates personally) generated a strong "dislike" sentiment to the hacker community. But we can't deny that he and Paul Allen were pure breed hackers and helped a lot the development of technology. Of course, we all prefer OSS and we'd pick Linus (or insert OSS dev name here) 100 times over one of the "evil capitalists"/s, but nevertheless they have to be recognized.
He has a point that in a society with strong legal protections on freedom of expression, copyright is one of the main tools the state has to stop expression that is deleterious to the ruling class.
This position suggests that there was no progress before we had copyright. I think you're vastly overstating the power of the incentives we've set up to drive creative behavior, and even with your caveats I think you're overstating their efficacy.
Copyright and patents have done more to consolidate wealth within middleman industries that aggregate these properties than they have to enrich the actual creatives doing the work, as it is with all systems. For every system we put in place to reward behavior that we enjoy, the system always benefits those that choose to game the system more than those that were originally intended to be rewarded.

And the results are observable empirically: very few people are told by anyone that's been out in the world that they should choose to become a writer or an inventor, because writers and inventors simply don't make that much money. The system you claim is so necessary seems to be completely failing in its core mission.

For example, take a look at writers making a decent living on a platform like Substack. Copyright is literally doing nothing for them. People can freely copy their substack and post it everywhere online. The value is that the platform provides a centralized location for people to follow the person's writing, and to build a community around it. In cases where artists and inventors have become rich, I look at the mechanism behind it, and often it's an accident that had nothing to do with intellectual property rights at all.

Thanks. We're looking forward to seeing how teams use it. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Because it reinforces the idea that creative works should usually involve lawyers.

I know that’s a popular sentiment here, but I honestly don’t think they give a shit.

I want usage based pricing for AI, not a bunch of monthly subscriptions like we have with streaming
I think experiences vary. AI can work well with greenfield projects, small features, and helping solve annoying problems. I've tried using it on a large Python Django codebase and it works really well if I ask for help with a particular function AND I give it an example to model after for code consistency.

But I have also spent hours asking Claude and ChatGPT with help trying to solve several annoying Django problems and I have reached the point multiple times where they circle back and give me answers that did not previously work in the same context window. Eventually when I figure out the issue, I have fun and ask it "well does it not work as expected because the existing code chained multiple filter calls in django?" and all of a sudden the AI knows what is wrong! To be fair, there was only one sentence in the django documentation that mentions not chaining filter calls on many to many relationships.
Seems that Ginger got the last laugh though.
Nice! I still use Greasemonkey and love it.

Relatedly, I have a greasemonkey script[1] that makes Snapchat on web much more usable. I just updated it to include this video fixer logic so now it's easy to scrobble videos and download them.

It uses the MutationObserver API to immediately 'fix' any <video> element added to the page. Really I should just copy you and make a version of it that just does the video fixing but runs on every site. It's crazy how browsers have a nice built in pro-user video element, but that every site intentionally overrides and degrades it...

edit: I went ahead and turned this into a greasemonkey script as well: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/531780-universal-video-fix...

This is in the same vein as trolling and griefing: Some people give up at the first difficulty. Others will see it as a challenge and get a thrill out of overcoming it. The more challenging it becomes, the more invested they get.
I couldn't find the precise reference that mentions that they found the source code for the Basic interpreter and just "copied/ported" it. I did read they'd go "dumpster diving" to learn assembly. But not that they found and just ported the source code. Where is it?

He does talk about comparative advantage, though. Extensively. The bit about Ricardo's precondition is absolutely wild and I'm more than a little scandalized by the fact that it wasn't discussed when I took econ in school. Not to mention the history with Alexander Hamilton.

I don't believe this is correct. Homomorphic encryption enables computation on encrypted data without needing to decrypt it.

You can't use the result of that computation without first decrypting it though. And you can't decrypt it without the key. So what you describe regarding memory addresses is merely garden variety obfuscation.

Unmasking an obfuscated set of allowable address ranges for hashing given an arbitrary binary is certainly a difficult problem. However as you point out it is easily sidestepped.

You are also mistaken about anti-cheat measures. The ones that pose the most difficulty primarily rely on kernel mode drivers. Even then, without hardware attestation it's "just" an obfuscation effort that raises the bar to make breaking it more time consuming.

What you're actually witnessing there is that if a sufficient amount of effort is invested in obfuscation and those efforts carried out continuously in order to regularly change the obfuscation then you can outstrip the ability of the other party to keep up with you.
that might solve your sourcing problem, but now you need to have faith it will draw conclusions and parallels from the material accurately. That seems even harder than the original problem; I'll stick with decent search on quality source material.
Every request contributes to server costs. Every byte contributes to the 95/5 pricing. Wikipedia can’t afford private peering with every ISP in the world.
You’re missing two important points.

Gold mining alone has basically zero impact on Caterpillar’s R&D into EV mining equipment. The mining industry mines vastly more copper, iron, tin, etc ore and gold is at such low concentrations it’s basically indistinguishable from other types of mining until chemical separation.

If nobody was holding gold as a store of value there’d be a glut of gold for industry and ~zero gold mining the next ~hundred years. Holding gold ultimately means mining sooner not later.

> I feel like one could delete almost all comments from that project without losing any information

I far from a heavy LLM coder but I’ve noticed a massive excess of unnecessary comments in most output. I’m always deleting the obvious ones.

But then I started noticing that the comments seem to help the LLM navigate additional code changes. It’s like a big trail of breadcrumbs for the LLM to parse.

I wouldn’t be surprised if vibe coders get trained to leave the excess comments in place.

I have no love for the Mouse but if I can get them and the image slop-mongers to fight then that's absoutely fine. It would be nice to have a functioning, vibrant public domain but it is also nice to not have some rich asshole insisting that all copyright laws must be ignored because if they properly licensed even a fraction of what they've consumed then it would be entirely too expensive to train their glorified autocomplete databases on the entire fucking internet for the purpose of generating even more garbage "content" designed to keep your attention when you're mindlessly scrolling their attention farms, regardless of how it makes you feel, and if I can choose one or the other then I am totally behind the Mouse.

The error usually isn't an issue since the agent can use the tools regardless. It's a by-product of the current implementation's serverless nature and SSE's limitations. We are looking into alternative solutions.
I mean… The AI?
yeah we should abolish copyright and make it so that creators get paid for every eyeball that's looking at your content. first, we establish a total panopticon. and then you get paid when people engage with your content, like, the system records that a person watches your movie, doesn't matter how they got a copy of your movie, but this person watches your movie, and that watch gets sent into the system and you get paid out from it. no more copyright, just horribly invasive tracking of everything everywhere. Call it copythrough.

That would never work, but like writing sci-fi.
So, you would like an AI that can reasonably answer questions about various aspects of human culture, or at least to take said culture into account? At the same time, you want it to not use the most obvious, most relevant examples from the culture, because they are somehow verboten, and a less relevant, completely made-up character should be presented instead? Come on, computes have logic. If you ask the machine to produce a picture of a man who was sent to humans to save them, then was executed, and after that came back alive, who do you think the machine should show you, for Christ's sake?

Picture-based industries had a mild shock when "Photoshop" kind of software became widely available. Remixing visuals in ways that the copyright holders won't approve of became equally widespread. Maybe that added some grey hairs to the heads of some industry execs, the sky has not fallen. I suppose the same is going to happen this time around.

That seems… like, fine, right? Who cares? Most games do skill-based matchmaking anyway, so if players are using cheats to play at higher but still human skill levels, they’ll just get boosted up to higher ranks.

What do you think that 10% of budget is paying for that the university is spending on? It's more or less paying for the building and all that goes into it for the research that the NIH called for grant proposals to happen in. This is the entire idiocy about indirect benefits. Yes, paying for the building is not spending money directly on research. But you can't exactly do lab work without a lab building you know.
