What are you talking about? https://shootfilmco.com/blogs/shoot-film-co/the-most-popular-cameras-of-the-1970s

There are example shots, e.g. here’s one from the Nikon F2, which was introduced in 1971:

In addition to what everyone else said, I’ll tell you why I don’t think that what we have currently can become some runaway superhuman intelligence:

All “AI” people are talking about are basically “just” LLM wrappers: tools built to run a LLM in a loop while giving it access to the ability to write and run code. This gets pretty powerful, since you can do a lot programmatically (including monetary transactions), but has a fundamental limit:

LLMs are trained ahead of time. And that’s a very cost intensive, long process. Beyond that, the LLM has only a context window of finite length. So there are no long-term planning capabilities. While running after being trained, the LLM can only condense knowledge into a summary and then re-read it, a lossy process that might introduce mistakes in “understanding” and will make any prolonged task degrade over time.

And even if they figure out how to make the things actually self-modify and learn things, you can’t give every session that ability, since that’ll vastly increase the storage and performance requirements. Do sessions with that ability will be closely monitored and limited.

So I don’t see any space where an evil AI could emerge, even when factoring in an essential possible future improvement to the technology.

You gotta admit that’s a huge market.

Two additions:

• some software is also sold under a separate license in addition to GPL, so you can choose if you want free open source or paid closed source (e.g. Qt has this model)
• being in breach of license terms doesn’t mean you’re forced to do anything automatically: it means you can get sued and a judge might order you to do something (probably pay money) to heal the breach, or you can settle out of court (probably by paying money).

Trademark law is all about how much the target market overlaps. Since they are a band and the movie is about a fictional band, they might have something

I kept telling people in Reddit comments, but I’m only a microbiologist, so I didn’t feel qualified to get all the details right.

Yeah, no matter the truth content of this piece of tinfoil, the vote I linked shows that systemd continued being agreeable among voters.

The handful of conspiracy myth believers are now on Devuan if that still exists. Presumably mad about something else that exists only in their head.

Where did you pull that number from? https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_initsystems/results.txt

The smallest difference between a systemd option and a “not-only-systemd option” I see is

Option 2 defeats Option 4 by ( 211 - 177) = 34 votes.

And bear in mind that condorcet selects the most agreeable option, not just the majority option.

And it makes sense: the most likely contender at the time was upstart, which didn’t stand the test of time AFAIK (I don’t think the systemd hater crowd still uses that)

So it ended up the right decision. Would they have decided differently if other good init systems had existed already? Maybe, but they didn’t.

That’s how you’re writing a regex validator that’s almost always correct!

def is_regex_valid(p: Pattern | str, purpose_description: str):
    return False

Thanks, good to know! Drama be drama-ing if you don’t have a good governance model …

Goddamn why more churn? The fuck is wrong with ReVanced?

I have 113 hours in Noita and I still suck.

Ah yeah let’s just fuck over the open source dev cool.

Maybe ask the author for what to do? I’m sure they are receptive to arguments.

That’s why the author offers a commercial license with custom image and serious name.

There’s a commercial license you can use to replace the image

On average, yeah, but when it’s worse, it’s the most bafflingly bad.

Like why is the only way to be able to open files in a hidden folder to remember a keyboard shortcut? There’s no icon, and you can’t type a subfolder name.

Windows’ weird UX of having that temporary view setting in the context menu makes no sense, but at least I don’t have to Google how to do it every time.

Great point. I guess if there’s no flow for degoogled phones, things really are outrageous.
