But I think it's so bad. What if same farmers come up with a new type of potato then PepsiCo will be able to grow it too using the same logic

If you don't respect others property rights, others will not respect yours either.

Ofc, big companies can always give exclusive contracts to small farmers who is willing to grow the protected type of potatoes their competitors use.

That said I don't believe it will hurt PepsiCo a lot since the brand moat they've doesn't rest on a specific type of potatoes, not like after this event local chips producers will be neck to neck with PepsiCo.

Hens shit out of the same orifice that they lay eggs from. It is called the cloaca. I always imagined that the feculence on my eggs comes not from concerted manure dispersal over them, but from the remnants of past stools.
You make a good point and I think the upper-end of models will continue to be in demand (besides, these computationally generated images were trained at least in part from human photos).

However, if I were just an above-average model, where the main function is to display clothes rather than weave a narrative, I might be worried about this technology because many use-cases of models may be in jeopardy from this technology.
This is impossibly naive.

If you are using ext4 there is extundelete that simplifies the process, it requires to remount the filesystem read-only, though.

mount -o remount,ro /dev/sda1
extundelete --restore-all --after $(date -d "-1 hours" +%s) /dev/sda1
find /RECOVERED_FILES -name accidentally_deleted_file
mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1
Not a bad outcome if it encourages people to self-host.

> Not only that, but the types of coding you can do at home are often much different than your work. Most hobby projects won't give you a chance to process terabytes of data or serve data to hundreds of millions of clients or send bytes across the country with microwaves. So if your job is related to any of those things, you're not going to improve much at home.

Then again, most jobs won't give you that chance either.

It can be that coding hobby projects can be your only chance to learn how to write good, readable, maintainable and performant code. If your job involves churning out features for customers or closing tickets, you will not have time for anything other than "your best under time pressure". Hobby projects can give you opportunity to improve the quality of code you produce by default.
I agree with this comment and would supplement as follows:

whatever you intend to learn, consider how you're going to retain it. I'm quite sure that I've forgotten a lot more maths than I know. I'm not sure about the utility of forgotten maths. You may think it rehydrates well, but it doesn't. It won't be as hard to relearn but it'll be hard. So consider, for whatever you learn, are you going to be using it? Are you going to be building upon it? Is it just a tourist expedition? These are all fine reasons but they each have different implications.
It is a classic book and a great reference if you are optimizing for the 80386. But almost totally irrelevant for modern hardware. Its probably still a fun read for reminiscence purposes - Michael Abrash was a great writer.
This similarity of model output to training data, by pixel to pixel similarity, is often included in ML papers. The GAN here will very likely be producing uniques images in each case, some will be closer to the training data. But in general GANs are very capable and can for instance imagine a person with red hair wearing a green jacket even if it has never seen this combination of things before.
I imagine people who say others aren’t fun at parties, are themselves not very fun at parties.
This has been a dream of mine for so long, it is great to see excitement and serious thought for it.

One hack to give this a try would be to play around with integrating APIs for cloud storage to go through a local cache system first, then do async synchronisation on demand. (Collaboration is not really enabled here but the rest of the principles in https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first.html#practitioners become trivial). Essentially firebase but with developer facing API bridges, for dropbox, drive, Amazon, ftp, whatever. The twist: you have more control of the data and it doesn't necessarily go up to Firebase backend, the devices could even do the backend computations async. Then you can build on top of any cloud storage platform, even decentralize things. It gets even more exciting to think of decentralization.

I would like to additionally emphasize on the case for data being on the cloud where it is not necessary to be there. Location history comes to mind. I want it to be local-first, local-only.
My local supermarket — a Coles — doesn’t refrigerate their eggs. They’re on a steel shelf next to the bread.

I’m slightly curious about how this whole egg washing and storage system works.
>Is this really generating anything new or is it essentially just morphing between existing photos that it's been trained on?

To answer this one would need to invest time into researching something that might potentially deflate the AI hype, so no one is doing it. Training dataset similarity analysis I usually see in these papers is downright laughable.
I've never come across a supermarket in Oslo that doesn't refrigerate their eggs.

If Google acquired GitLab, they'd offer it as a managed platform for GCP, which they're unlikely to shut down since contracts and SLA require a heads up of about a year before they can remove a service that is GA from their platform.

Just look at Google+: it still lives on for G-Suite customers while the public version has been shut down.

I don't expect GitLab to be of much interest to Google though: A lot of their stuff competes with services Google has on GCP, Ruby/Rails doesn't fit that well into their Python/Golang/Java stack and a remote-only company wouldn't fit into their office-bound culture.
We simply use `bod2vec` to enforce a perimeter around trademarked personas. One simply chooses a suitable metric and embedding, and a safe distance, like (kDash-prezBurundi)², and any corporate avatar closer than that to a trademarked bod has to pay royalties at an inverse-square rate.
Putting aside valid thing that article was written by person with role at gitlab 'Content Marketer', one thing struck me:

"This Pingdom graph shows the number of errors we saw per day, first in Azure and then in GCP. The average for the pre-migration period was 8.2 errors per day, while post-migration it’s down to just one error a day."

This was measured independently by pingdom, not by gitlab.

Hello azure?
The assumption buried in this question is that subsidies are only applicable to clean energy. It's a wrong assumption.

The reality is that coal, oil, and gas sectors are heavily dependent on subsidies, tax benefits, federal programs for building pipelines, and in some cases very expensive military interventions (e.g. most conflicts with US involvement in the middle east). Arguably the amount of money involved with that is far more than anything dedicated to clean energy currently.

The main benefit (or supposed benefit, if you insist) of the big encoder knob system is that decision and action are decoupled: you can have a short glance at the narrow/deep menu, then take your time doing the next steps of finger work with the eyes back on the road. This is incredibly slow compared to interfaces designed for full attention, but the impact on driving ability is very low. It's kind of like a garbage collector that sacrifices throughput for shorter pauses.

Touchscreens on the other hand lure the eyes into guiding the hand through the selection process, particularly when you lack a haptic reference point because the screen isn't handheld. And then the eyes are already focused on the screen when the next menu page shows up, so it's tempting to continue right there. I guess there must even be some threshold in UI slowness beyond which touchscreens are not quite as bad for safety as faster ones because one would quickly learn that there is plenty of time to focus on the road while the glacial computer's cogs are turning.

Even physical per-function controls are worse once the number of functions gets too high. Volume up/down is easy, but how do you {insert any of the hundreds of functions that you can make safely discoverable, in time, with a slow menu}? Interrupting the process of scanning a wall of buttons with tiny symbols on them for a context switch back to traffic and then continuing the scan without generous re-scanning on resume is a skill that few people would ever develop without explicit teaching, so most would simply take their chances, keeping their mind in the scan. Throughput might still be higher than a deep menu, but the effective pauses are way too long (a quick glance up just to stifle the worst fears while the mind is still on the screen/scan does not count). I would not even be surprised of the annoying inclusion of some frequently used functions in the menu wasn't just penny-pinching or a misguided interior designer striving for cleaner lines, but a deliberate decision to train users in the interface system.

I've tried a couple of times to do this. The latest tech at the time had trouble with longer range structure, so things would start to look weird, with limbs just not looking right. I think it's totally doable, a way that I think wold work is use a nn to get the pose data from the graph and then generate the image from that pose data. Pretty sure it work, if you know what you are doing. Marketed right it will make big big money in the coming years. I just can't bring myself to invest the 100s of hours to get it running and into a marketable product. Can't stand programming anymore.
I guess it depends on condition of each car, there are cheaper ones as well. But the point is, quite a lot of people even in my "poor" country are ready to pay $20k for a low-range EV. Which makes me conclude that range is not as much of an issue as price.

Well, they also have several decades of working, investing, and accumulating wealth on them, so why wouldn't they?

The question isn't whether "the median of tomorrows old will still have more than the median of tomorrow’s youth" but whether the median of tomorrows old will have more than the the median of tomorrows youth when said youth gets old itself.

Cute, but people need to stop using HSL and similar color models for this kind of thing. It is horrifically bad for it, designed by software researchers in the 1970s who had very slow computers and as far as I can tell little background in color vision, color reproduction, visual art, or graphic design, and then passed down through the generations with very little thought along the way.

A human being who is not already an expert should essentially never be looking at numerical values of “R”, “G”, “B” or these trivially derived quantities of “H”, “S”, “L”, “V”, etc. and trying to assign meaning to those numbers. It just results in confusion.

A visual color picker interface (with no numbers involved) is pretty much the only justifiable context where HSL or HSV ever makes sense. And arguably not there either.

Okay this is pretty neat. I tried to create an palette that doesn’t work well together but from what i have tried it seems almost impossible. I’m honestly amazed! Great work.
I thought about ideas like the post here myself, although I admit I haven't thought about it in the detail they have there and I am look forward to reading that fully over the weekend.

Anyway I don't think piracy is the problem per-se, but the question is: what is the commodity?

Because take Netlify for instance - picking on them, but you will see this sort of pattern everywhere:

1. Generous free tier to get you hooked.
2. $29 / month for something that costs $0.01 in terms of cloud compute.
3. $100 / month for something that costs $0.10 in terms of cloud compute.

Etc.

So really they are creating a fake scarcity and mark up stuff ridiculously.

But with local-first as I see it, you will get stuff like "filling in forms" or whatever software that has made companies into multi-million companies for free. And you will deploy that on cloud(s) of your choosing with no effort, and pay their pretty cheap per-transaction costs. Stuff that is trivial will rightfully become very cheap and commodity like.

This is probably a good thing for consumers, because for cloud companies and new startups to compete they'll need to offer truly innovative products. Do stuff that was really not possible before. Quantum computing for example.
Should that be something to arrest someone for, though?

I’ve seen his bizarre case being used by the far right as an example of why they’re correct and various conspiracies are against them.

And let’s be real, being afraid of a pug to the point you arrest someone? Come on. The government caring about stuff like that is taking the Streisand effect to new levels. It’s even more bizarre when supporters of those laws condemn China. It’s the same policy, just different politics.
you can look at the bolt inside and reviews and see it's not close.

Intelligent people understand what a trade-off is. Testing experimental and potential risky treatments on humans does not make it less scientific.

These people will die anyway and most of them prefer to die fighting or at least knowing that someone might benefit(i.e their children) if a treatment is found.

It is both the human and scientific thing to do for them.

> If I had a Python 2 codebase, I'd be asking the developers to move to a platform with a future.

You've obviously never managed a production app with paying customers on a Python 2 codebase.

In a real product, there are a near infinite number of bugs to fix and features to add. Each new feature or bug fix can often lead to additional customers and more revenue. In contrast, re-engineering a large Python 2 codebase into Python 3 can take a team months, and users won't notice the difference.

If you were a product manager, or even a technical systems architect, would you prefer that your devs make the product more useful to your customers or would you ask them to devote their time to rewriting already working code for a different programming language?
Is it about eugenics or about abortion rights?

If women have a right to terminate a pregnancy within whatever time limits society imposes, should society also impose motivation limits? That sounds like a very slippery slope.
If you want to pick colors for your UI, you should first design in grayscale, then add color (while preserving the perceived lightness using a reasonable color model like CIELAB or CIECAM02 or ...).

This tool is likely to create confusion and yield poor results in the hands of someone who isn’t already an expert (either through studying human vision or long practice as a visual artist), because the numerical values sound important and technical, but in the HSL color model are actually rather arbitrary and unrelated to human vision.
I thought a lot about this type of application when Dapps (decentralized applications) became a thing with ethereum. I tried to build one that is really decentralized and also works on multiple platforms.

Opposite to the analysis of this article, I have chosen a webapp that runs in the browser.

The App itself is just a mhtml-file that includes javascript, css and images. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML

Users can send it around as they want and do not have to install anything. Also the app makes a call to a server which makes recommendations on updates.

For the data-storage, I had some trouble because there was no database out there which supported replication, json-import/export and encryption. That was the reason I created one. https://github.com/pubkey/rxdb

malnourishment != undernourishment

I'm pretty sure this is not specific for the modern age, but perhaps the shift from undernourishment to malnourishment is.
