Did you give claude access to run the compile step?

I remember having to write code on paper for my CS exams, and they expected it to compile! It was hard but I mostly got there. definitely made a few small mistakes though

Yes.

Would software be more or less free in a world without copyright?

I argue more free. EULAs and restrictions on how+for what software can be used, like DRM, typically use copyright as their legal backing. GPL licenses turn that on it's head but that doesn't redeem the original, flawed, law.

This seems to follow the letter but not the spirit of the license. If this does pass legal muster, we can do the same to whatever proprietary software we wish, which makes a dramatically different but IMO better ecosystem in the end.

It will be disproportionately hard to do it to proprietary software though. The imbalance of power is sort of what the GPL was there for

The government really shouldn't be telling us how/what we can compute at all.

But on this specific point - It's a bellwether. They're doing this to lay the groundwork and test the waters for compulsory identification and/or age verification. Getting MacOS and Windows and Linux and etc to implement this WILL be used as evidence that compulsory identity verification for computer use is legally workable.

And if the implications of that aren't clear - that would either be unenforceable or be in effect a government rootkit+DRM on every device.

>The government really shouldn't be telling us how/what we can compute at all.

You could say the same thing about restaurants. "The government really shouldn't be telling us how/what we can cook at all."

When you are selling a product to the public, that is something that people have decided the government can regulate to reduce the harms of such products.

I think it's a bit more analogous to the government telling you what you can cook in your own kitchen. Sure I might have some friends over, maybe even some strangers, but it would be quite overbearing to hold my personal kitchen to the same standard as a restaurant.

And there's not really a clear+observable difference between the two on the internet. The biggest difference between the NYT and my cousin's blog is scale, which is pretty hard to know up front - HN itself frequently DDOSes tiny websites.

What if you aren't selling a product, like open source linux distros?

Last time I checked, health code regulations still apply to kitchens serving homeless people for free.

They don’t apply to recipes nor what you make in your home, which is what open source operating systems are equivalent to.

There needs to be both things - the opportunity to make mistakes, and the support to make it okay after mistakes are made.

Sounds like you got the first but not the second, which must have been tough. Hope you're doing better now.

I mean, I didn't close them all but still, ... Look at the code! That's gotta be valuable

Powell for president please

Nobody who takes money as seriously as either party to this case should be president. Leaders should be focused on outcomes not abstractions.

My understanding is the United States has one of the strongest post-pandemic recoveries, the printing was definitely a factor.

I'm not arguing against QE I am saying there was too much of it and we could have had recovered just fine without the severe inflation that landed us in the current predicament.

Lower inflation and higher growth than every peer nation?

The Fed absolutely crushed it. Totally unambiguous.

What country did better (other than the imaginary retconned one in your head), so we can discuss the comparison directly?

Please read the posting guidelines.

Yes, people should be good parents.

But still, there's going to be many who are not. I would rather good parental controls existed to make it easier for people to be better parents. Yes, maybe parental controls don't make the difference from bad to good, but they do make a positive difference for many.

> Or pretend to be a stranger and try to befriend them, seeing if they fall for it?

That seems like a great way to destroy any trust in you your child might have.

Yes, the internet has changed that much.

Lots of people are in this thread saying "ah, just tell your children not to get groomed / not to watch disturbing content". They're kids. They are going to disobey their parents. There's no one here arguing we don't need to teach kids these things. But, like how when you're learning to drive you start in a parking lot with a crappy car, we need a way to make a relatively safe place for them to learn. Parental controls are currently failing to do that.

Furthermore, where you and I and median commenter on HN might be an engaged, attentive parent, there's lots of parents out there who are not. Having a good, easy-to-setup version of these controls that a less engaged parent will actually turn on would make a positive impact on those children who aren't receiving the teaching you suggest.

Touch is nice. And important for making social bonds.
