Well I can tell you in my totally anecdotal view that the underground scene here is alive and well, you just need to look a bit harder for it ;) It’s true that mainstream media like Instagram and TikTok are bringing the worst of the scene and it’s true that there are now a lot of kids that think that the techno scene is to dress in fetish clothes and film yourself dancing waiting for “the drop”. But this is just capitalism and globalization doing its thing. Trends come and go. You can still go to awesome parties here in Berlin that won’t be filmed and uploaded to Facebook, and it’s also true that people complain a lot about the scene going mainstream but in reality if you want money from it, there’s so many mouths that the underground scene can feed. I think a bigger problem for the club culture is the festival scene, but that’s a whole different discussion. There are cool initiatives coming from this such as ASlice so I don’t think it’s as bad as some old schoolers are claiming

No, I don't think so. I think you would need more VRAM to start with.

What a thorough and interesting post. I would personally never do something like this. The most tinkering I've ever done with Linux was in my RaspberryPi era and that's 1% at most. So props to the author

I'm sorry but this is such a bad take. Nice appeal to consequences. In my view, the New York Times is entirely justified in pursuing legal action. They invested time and effort in creating content, only to have it used without permission for monetary gain. A clear violation.

Analyzing the factors involved for a "fair use" consideration:

Purpose and Character of the Use: While the argument for transformation might hold in the future as you point out, the current dispute revolves around verbatim use. So clearly not transformative. Also commercial use is more difficult to be ruled fair use.

Nature of the Copyrighted Work: Using works that are more factual may be more likely to be considered fair use, but I would argue that NYT articles are as creative as factual.

Amount and Substantiality of the Portion Used: In this case, the entirety of the articles was used, leaving no room for a claim of using an insignificant portion.

Effect on the Market Value: NYT isn't getting any money from this, and it's clearly not helping their market value if people are checking on ChatGPT instead of reading a NYT article.

IANAL, but in my opinion NYT is well within its rights to pursue legal action. Progress is inevitable, but as humans, we must actively shape and guide it. Otherwise it cannot be called progress. In this context, legal action serves as a necessary means for individuals and organizations to assert their rights and influence its course.

I would say: Dividing by nothing gives you everything. It is undefined.

That wouldn't be considered a timestamp in my book. For starters, it doesn't have time information, only date information. Quickly asking ChatGPT it gives this answer: In computing, timestamps are commonly expressed in formats like "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss" (year-month-day hour:minute:second).

When pressed about this particular time detail, ChatGPT elaborates: While "YYYY-MM-DD" is a common date format, it's not complete for a timestamp, which typically includes both date and time information. A complete timestamp might look like "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss" to include hours, minutes, and seconds.

So, no, this post doesn't contain a timestamp, and it already fails in its own advice.

It is. Just click on show more before the threads

But can you parse a sentence like this one? "The train your uncle just missed"

I think it's the same structure. We are just so used to add "that" or "which", but I think with a bit of practice one could omit these filler words and read the sentence just fine. Although I do think that in the Buffalo case it makes it very ambiguous.

He deserves the stuttering based on the amount of ads alone.

Honest question, why does it have “legitimate educational use”? For me that’s not a given. You could teach how to build a bomb or how to cook meth. I’m sure there are a lot of students who would benefit from that kind of knowledge and would use it for good. I’m also sure that we would have a bunch of Walter White wanna bes. How is this different?

Please don't do this. I get it's "good practice", but you are essentially wasting interviewing time -> company money for your little practice. Terrible advice.

My last three jobs involved Angular. The second-to-last one was a very heavy application in the US healthcare space. Angular was perfect for that app. In conjunction with Rxjs / ngrx it was extremely powerful. I agree the learning curve was… steep. I don’t regret a minute of it. I moved to another company and I’m doing react now. I was actually hired to support the cash cow written in Angular, but now the company moved focus to full react and we are not hiring Angular devs anymore. React is fun though. I really enjoyed doing a deep dive with Hooks, but I would still work with Rxjs if I could

I’m sorry but that’s just not true. You can check this page to get a pretty extensive list of Google products made with angular https://www.madewithangular.com/categories/google/

Why?

People use USDT to buy and sell other tokens, it's like an on/off ramp to all things "crypto". You give them 1USD, they give you 1USDT, and you can buy whatever fake coin you like.

The issue is that it's true that for every 1USD you give to Tether, there's 1USDT, but it's not true that for every 1USDT Tether mints, there's 1USD in some bank. Estimates are in the low 10%, but it's probably less. They have essentially a money printer.

(Some) people really believe that USDT is pegged to the dollar, so they really believe that if they have some ETH for instance, and they sell that ETH for USDT, that the translation ETH -> USDT -> USD is maintained, but that's the whole problem, nothing stops them from minting USDT without the real USD existing. So nothing stops them from "buying" your "hard earned" ETH/Bitcoin/whatevercoin with USDT pulled out of thin air.

That's why New York said essentially "these people are liers and nothing they say is true". It's just that people continue to play this game. And why is that? Because no financial institution would give you Bitcoin/ETH/whatever for dollars, because if they do, they are essentially banks and all the KyC rules / regulations apply.

So they came up with this charade, these "stable coins" are nothing more than a workaround for on and off ramps, because people have FIAT money (real money if you ask me). This is why Bitcoin doesn't go lower than 30.000, because there's huge amount of Tether being used to buy Bitcoin and keep the price up. Once this money printer charade goes bust we will see the actual price of Bitcoin, Ether, NFTs and so on.

Not more clear, he should've fixed his mistake. Or is not and. Period. I agree with you, but I wanted to emphasize the mistake

I have this one with my MacBook pro and it works really good https://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Aluminum-Bluetooth-Keyboard-3...

Requestly is awesome. I use it almost daily and to be honest I don't understand how this is not a native tool inside browser dev tools. It's such a simple idea yet so powerful. Thanks for your work

By that logic, every sports player that uses high quality gear is "paying to win". Is Nadal winning solely based on the quality of his racquet? Of course not. Would he play with a basic or low quality one? Absolutely not. What's wrong using the best gear possible?

I don't know where'd you get this notion that it stops at 120hz. It's been proven again and again that even with monitors with low refresh rate you still get a better experience by having more fps available. Better so when you have both the frames and the refresh rate in your monitor.

I actually found the article he's replying to much more interesting than this piece

Yeah I don't know what just happened. I came to the comments to see if I was missing something but no, that's it. Weird.

Why not repost the original LinkedIn post? I don't see what value this piece aims to add

Mmm, this article is all you need to understand the current state of modern js: https://peterxjang.com/blog/modern-javascript-explained-for-...

Yes. I mark everyone of them as spam and block. Yet I continually get these emails with html files attached to them. It's extremely frustrating

Julia Evans is awesome. I would wholeheartedly suggest that you buy some of her zines if you can

Lol, the nerve of the other reply: "stop using the most widely used email provider in the world". I liked your reply better

The piece comes from a site called "Bitcoin Magazine" lol. Of course they have an interest in seeing these "revolutions" all over the globe

Yes

Yup. For instance, he mentions interest rate. Why? How is it useful to think about it and precisely define it in this context? Next article: the cloud isn't even a cloud, it isn't made out of small particles of water!

Man HN is getting some low quality articles lately. This one, the CEO that got bored and used his telescope to spy on people. What is going on?
