In the United video, in many scenes, the more interesting thing is the Rube Goldberg machine distraction, not the actual safety information they're supposed to be conveying.

They even do split-screen to add in distraction, when they're trying to show something visually in the less-interesting window. (Worst lesson ever mis-learned from TikTok.)

Did they consciously decide that most people have heard the instructions many times, and the best the airline can hope for is that passengers pause and look up from their personal devices, and maybe subconsciously reactivate those neurons even the slightest bit... as better than nothing?

Or did the creatives simply get carried away, and no one reined them in?

Roko's Basilisk aka Pascal's wager for reddit atheists. Same refutations should easily apply.
> For macOS they could certainly get away with shipping gplv3 code

Even limiting that to “in the USA” I would never say certainly for a license for which so little jurisprudence exists.

Once you add in multiple countries, it doesn’t get clearer.

And yes, that applies to GPLv2, too, but that ship has sailed. I also don’t see them add much new GPLv2 licensed software.

For GPLv3, they also may be concerned about patents. If, to support some MacOS feature, they change a GPLv3 licensed program that uses one of their patents, GPLv3 gives others the rights to use those patents in versions of the tool that run on other platforms.
Yep. Looks like it. The links in comments to ones that do it better are useful. An opportunity for someone to collate and compare as a bit of investigative journalism.
Did you mean why did I share the refuting comment? Considering I do not have the ability to check the authenticity of either comment, I believe it is even more important to provide both sides of the argument, especially when the refuting comment is in Chinese only.
The US could just tax the rich more and spread the extra wealth gained through offshoring. But no.

Based on the title I'd not use the project... Laravel is a superb framework that has a very nice developer experience, no need to call it names to promote your own project.
Wow that's a fun game but I found it surprisingly stressful! Once I relaxed I did (a bit) better
Look at the comments in this post. People think they were fired, because that's what the article claims. You have people in the top post of this thread social mediaizing each other about how now they'll get to renegotiate their contracts, or maybe not even come back, and all this nonsense. Except none of this is true. Similarly, look at how everybody is interpreting "coding error." As the editor certainly intended, everybody is just assuming it means programming, and just jumping off the deep end from there.

Everything I have said would lead a person reading it to understand the facts with near to complete accuracy (I do agree I should have added that they were put on paid leave pending dismissal). Yet in this thread people are discussing the article with basically 0% accuracy, so far as the facts are concerned. And this is a recurring trend in these topics.
Is this a serious question?

The answer is: because modifying software without the source code (i.e. reverse-engineering) is extremely difficult.
Well you're wrong. The latter is referred to as freeware.
Fun fact: Newton attributed the inverse square law to Pythagoras. It’s esoteric, but it relates to harmony of the spheres and the fact that the weight/tension of a string has an inverse square relation to tone. More here, in this Royal Society article: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250902005_Newton_an...
It’s a combination of people who literally want to own everything even if the only things left are smoking ruins and the useful idiots they have recruited to do the work.

I’m not even sure it’s a deliberate conspiracy. It’s more like Bryan Cantrill’s lawnmower.

If you replace the country names with software products and the columns with “on prem” and “cloud” the Trump tariff charts look like an Oracle contract renewal.
> It's impossible. How do you even define advertising? If you define it conservatively, then advertising will skirt through the loopholes.

It's quite easy though. Just remove incentives to advertise. Remote the possibility of profit. Will it destroy the economy? Of course, but the advertising will cease.

I grew up in a communist country. There was some advertising (in TV, radio, magazines; very little outdoor), but since all the profits went to the state anyway, there was no real competition, and also often shortages, the advertising was not really serious. It didn't influence people a lot. It was harmless.

Of course there was a lot of communist propaganda in the media, in the schools and workplaces, outdoor banners etc., and that is advertising too. But also this was already at the stage when nobody took it seriously anymore.
I agree with most of your assertions.

> ... with all the other features that create the "if it compiles it probably works" experience

While it's true that Rust's core safety feature is almost exclusively about memory safety, I think it contributes more to the overall safety of the program.

My professional background is more in electronics than in software. So when the Rust borrow checker complains, I tend to map them to nuances of the hardware and seek work-arounds for those problems. Those work-arounds often tend to be better restructuring of the code, with proper data isolation. While that may seem like hard work in the beginning, it's often better towards the end because of clarity and modularity it contributes to the code.

Rust won't eliminate logical bugs or runtime bugs from careless coding. But it does encourage better coding practices. In addition, the strict, but expressive type system eliminates more bugs by encoding some extra constraints that are verified at compile time. (Yes, there are other languages that do this better).

And while it is not guaranteed, I find Rust programs to just work if it compiles, more often than in the other languages I know. And the memory-safety system has a huge role in that experience.
Sounds also a lot like the second formulation of Kant's categorical imperative.
Haha, fair — I love the pun.

My issue isn't with PHP as a language. It’s with frameworks that try to do everything for everyone, and end up adding layers of abstraction, indirection, and performance overhead by default — even before you write your first line of app logic.

Symfony, like Laravel, is very capable — but to me, it’s too prescriptive. You either embrace the full stack or fight against the grain. I wanted something where:

- Every module but the core is optional
- No need to use the CLI, just drag and drop and it handles it

The templating system, cache, and routing all talk directly

So I wrote Dataphyre — modular, dependency-free, fast as hell. It powers a 3.5M-line ecommerce platform (Shopiro) with a sharded replicated containerized CDN system able of 8k streaming, a fulltext search engine, the "usual" templating and async, all built in.
This is an indictment if bad leaders and politics, which also happens under other economic systems as we have clearly seen
It’s a bunch of nonsense really.

They greatly simplify models, otherwise they’re too complicated to calculate.

So they simplify the data points, assume point particles, assume no interactions due to electromagnetism, no tidal locks, and Newtonian gravity instead of relativity.

And then it turns out galaxies sometimes rotate too quickly.

Yeah, no shit. If your data is known to be wrong and your model uses the wrong theory of gravity and makes known false simplifications it would be quite strange if it somehow did predict without some discrepancies
Looking at the code of your project: This is exactly why PHP has such a bad reputation.
Roko's Basilisk only begins to make sense as a concern if you have already taken it as a given that sufficiently advanced AI would be capable of literally resurrecting the dead. If you do not think this is plausible -- and, seriously, why would you? -- it's about as spooky as someone telling you not to step on a crack lest you break your mama's back.
I know license allows it in the same way it allows users to harass burned out maintainers. Both are bad and we should have some ethical guidelines.

A popular open source has lot of community contributions like blog post, answers in stack overflow, issue reporting, PRs etc. And if the maintainer changes the behaviour abruptly with no way for community to fix it, even if they are ready to pay for the development cost like terraform seems like abusing the open source ethos for their advantage.
"Better to have and not need, than need and not have."

Storage is cheap, very cheap.
The whole premise on which the immense valuations of these AI companies is based on is that they are learning general reasoning skills from their training on language. That is, that simply training on text is going to eventually give the AI the ability to generate language that reasons at more or less human level in more or less any domain of knowledge.

This whole premise crashes and burns if you need task-specific training, like explicit chess training. That is because there are far too many tasks that humans need to be competent at in order to be useful in society. Even worse, the vast majority of those tasks are very hard to source training data for, unlike chess.

So, if we accept that LLMs can't learn chess unless they explicitly include chess games in the training set, then we have to accept that they can't learn, say, to sell business software unless they include business software pitches in the training set, and there are going to be FAR fewer of those than chess games.

I don’t think that’s true in general. As a sibling comments points out, this is not true for some DNGs - for example, the output of an iPhone is in DNG, but with many, many transforms already baked in. A DNG might even be debayered already.

GFX 100s II’s apply a transform to RAW data at iso 80, see: https://blog.kasson.com/gfx-100-ii/the-reason-for-the-gfz-10...

I don’t know much about ARW, but I do know that they offer a lossy compressed format - so it’s not just straight off the sensor integer values in that case either.
I have no special information, but some of these seem targeted at least partially to internal marketing and morale. For instance, I have seen what appear to be employees (probably union members) delivering a lot of these lines.

I would expect it's at least slightly better for morale, recruiting, and retention. I also expect that executives and middle managers move to use these as an opportunity to reinforce corporate values, whatever that means to them.
I still use it all the time. It's like saying sqlite, grep or awk is in decline. I'm sorry people do stupid things with tools that are easy to use but that's how it is.

I use php in a bunch of places I don't really care about. And if told you about them, you wouldn't either. That's why it's a great fit.

dumb and stupid is sometimes a great answer.
If the parent is saying that other countries can compromise by "importing more" until the trade deficit is fixed, there is no alternative to my statement. That is the argument being made. The government of that country would need to require it's citizens to purchase US goods regardless of their will or ability or need.

That's how buying things works.
> I think we’re going to start seeing Republicans test the waters with breaking rank with Trump soon though.

This is already happening. The snag is, until the break adds up to a 2/3 majority in both House and Senate, a presidential veto of a bill reversing the tariffs cannot be overridden. And to get to 2/3, a lot more pain is going to have to be felt in Trumpland.
I'd like to introduce you to my new invention, Roko's Cockatrice.

If Roko's Basilisk is real, then it stands to reason that there will eventually be resistance to it. Presumably this resistance, aware of the promise that the Basilisk is supposed to have made towards its followers, will target them, and ensure that they are never uploaded or recreated in virtuality.

In short, Roko's Cockatrice cancels out the Basilisk. Even if the Basilisk never comes into existence, the immense risk of it arising—and the fact that everyone knows it could happen—ensures that, if the cult of the Basilisk grows enough, it will be ostracised and stamped out by the majority. Believers are the perfect scapegoat for an authoritarian culture, and a legitimate risk to a rational one—after all, wouldn't True Believers eventually strive to bring about the Basilisk on their own, so they can have the rewards they've promised themselves?

At this point you're probably thinking—"Hey, that's just Pascal's Mugging with extra steps!"—fine. But it's way funnier than the way the article presented the idea.

Stay tuned for Roko's Gorgon, which is just a T-800 sent back in time to kill Roko before he makes the original forum post. (Given enough time, and the possibility of time travel being invented, it has to happen eventually, right?)
These people hate the idea of the public interest, and want to see everything replaced with a privately owned counterpart.
Despite best efforts, they couldn't find a worse name.
Some software is easier to hex edit that figure out how to compile ;)
what does "Free" mean? What do you think the author meant in this context?

The problem is that "Free" means two things in English, which is why some like to use the French/Spanish "Libre" instead, to separate the "free-as-in-speech" from "free-as-in-beer".
Define “better.” JavaScript?
Those explication videos are product instructions. They can still be made available in the youtube channel of this brand (and for my bike, they were and I'm glad for them).

Yes youtube costs money to run. Selling your private data and attention shouldn't be an option.
So who should pay the bill? If you're the customer, that would be You, or no one if you consider that empty channel not to be worth it.

There's obviously one issue stopping them: there are far more people using public transportation than there are chairs in there, so it's once again physically impossible to accommodate everyones tastes. This is not the case with advertising.

But you know that.
I don't think the author knows what Free Software is, sadly.
You of course sold all your stocks beginning of November because you knew a deep crash was coming and wanted to be ready to buy into it. And now you have a lot of cash.
A country can't externalise costs at all except to other countries, and I guess Trump's government is trying to do that. Might not be so easy, though, against other governments who for all their faults have a better grip on the differences between countries and corporations.
Moderna isn't the government.
It's not about the language itself, it's about the whole ecosystem around PHP. You have battle tested solutions for everything. And PHPStan is just the cherry on the cake for every old/new PHP project.
> When software is open-source, it is open-source, not necessarily free and open-source (FOSS), and even if it is FOSS, it might still have a restrictive licence.

I strongly dislike this obviously controversial bit being snuck into an otherwise reasonable argument. The term FOSS is meant to unify "free software" and "open source software" and there is absolutely no reason to accept GNU's definition of "free software" and not OSI's arguably more successful definition of "open source" software. After all, "free" software, to this day, just sounds like freeware to the layperson, and meanwhile, there is other industry jargon you can use for when the source code is available but the copyright license doesn't meet these criteria.
> Because tariffs hurt trade — if you charge someone an extra $4 on a $20 bottle of French wine, they _may_ still buy it, or they may buy different wine.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if the US public is even aware of this. I mean, what is the point of tarrifs other than raising the prices in the domestic market of imported goods and services? That's all they do.

The rationale from the perspective of the central government is that this will finally make foreign goods and services uncompetitive with regards to domestic alternatives, and thus will finally render them viable. But that childish assumption is based on so many absurd notions that are plainly unrealistic. The only thing that's real is the direct impact of tarrifs: increase the price of goods and services in the domestic market.
Perhaps that says something about how the original poster was taught to think about AI... If only we knew the environment in which they were socializing when they made the post.

Yeah, it feels like the author introduces an interesting concept, and then intentionally turns it into a ridiculous caricature that cannot possibly be true. But then why introduce it in the first place?

I think there are plenty of meat eaters who agree that animals can suffer, but simply don't care because meat tastes good, which is not something vegans deny, but simply something they consider less important.

Similarly, in climate change, I sometimes get the impression that even if all the science is correct and we are irreversibly changing are world, damaging ecosystems, and creating massive social unrest, refugee crises and war, some people still don't care because they won't be alive by that time and why should people today make even the slightest sacrifice for the people of tomorrow?

And some rich people seem to actively want inequality and exploited poor people.

Suppose that we open a non-profit to cure cancer, you and a bunch of others give me billions, I cure cancer, great.

Then plot twist, I turn the non-profit for profit, I avoid releasing the cancer cure I promised and instead I charge you for cure.

If a non-profit promised to cure cancer to help citizens, I would want that at the very-least they remain non-profit.

Not at all. I believe the US government has already studied this, published the outcome, and probably knows anything I or most teams of experts could. I think it’s in a drawer somewhere labeled, “For use in case of war with China under US dictator” but if we need to pretend it’s new information I’m offering my services.
This looks like an article about the recent Nature publication. Was confused at first because DreamerV3 is a couple of years old now
Open-source and FOSS mean the same thing. Any software that’s not Free Software is not open source. The only difference between the two terms is in the philosophy/ideology of the people who use them, not in their actual denotative meaning.

If you describe source-available proprietary software as “open source” you are using the term differently from practically everyone else, including the people who coined it.
It doesn't even work well for high-read/low-write scenarios, that was my issue with it. If I'm caching everything in Cloudflare KV anyway, why would I want to use a terribly performing SQL store for cold operations? Much better to just use a hosted postgres and cache things in CF KV if that isn't fast enough.
Although the closeness of "freeware" and "Free Software" is a problem IMHO.
Yeah, that’s right.
It's free if you're not making serious money with it.
But if your app's pulling over $10k/year, I ask for a commercial license, it would be rather reasonable.

I’m solo on this, and I’d like to put some (better) food on the table — that’s really the reason behind it.
Funny thing, “free and open-source” can be paid. You can charge all your customers, it’s just that they are free to redistribute. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#DoesTheGPLAllow...
Google has lately been far overstepping their utility with “security measures” which I definitely don’t need and often make everything more annoying and difficult.

Ex: blocking 3rd party cookies always now. Breaks countless websites which I need to work reliably. “Manage unused website/app’s permissions” even after I specifically granted them! Randomized virtual credit card numbers in Wallet: for no good reason, you thoroughly fucked up a refund attempt for me, >$500! And randomized MAC addresses by default for EVERY. SINGLE. SSID. It’s unhinged. It’s fake protection.

As a matter of fact, I do not enjoy my devices lying to my ISP, or to my college campus, my medical clinic, or to my employers. Device, please identify yourself without wearing a fuckin’ Groucho mask on top, and put on your big boy pants.
