My point is not that I think they're wrong for trying to address a market. Everybody is welcome to do that. My point is that we don't call Netflix "Netflix for white people" and it's not designed in an exclusive way such that it aims to only serve a white audience. I'm probably not conveying my sentiment well: please read it more as "I'm excited about this effort and want include myself as an audience member to help promote the content they are promoting." If you tell me your service is for black people then I am excluded. My initial comment that stared this sub-thread is that I see a social utility to having content "for women" since it's motivated by biology but I don't see a social utility to having content "for black people" since that seems racially motivated (which we agree is an expression of tribalism) and I don't find our tribal desires to assert subculture dominance to be productive in society. I view western liberalism as an effort to transcend tribalism where we treat all participate as equals rather than continue to divide into subcultures.
Whether they grow soybeans or beef or doing whatever they are cutting the same amount of trees. The crop choice doesn't change the fact that forests aren't protected, and the market will expand to fill available space like a gas.

You made me laugh so hard as just yesterday I was re-watching 'The Expert' on youtube[1],just always hit close to home. Mylanta, try designing a Logo for a business, or website, or front/back-end, or apps... I think it's the customer never knowing what they really want that's the common denominator.

Is this a joke, right? Pardon my ignorance but how is that Phoenix server side rendering is any simpler than React client side rendering when we have PHP and HTML that solves the problem just fine?

In a more serious tone: I like to write web apps in Go. I understand the appealing of using Go or Phoenix or React or whatever that smells like new. My decision to use Go is not totally rational, but hey, I like it!

No, i suggest that, with the assumption that they're highly talented individuals with very marketable skills (especially since they're not restricted by geographic borders), and they're trading 100% legal professions with a high reward (say, 200+ k$/year) with a directly violent and basically illegal one, with a very high reward (they could make an order of magnitude more; that's not uncommon for high-calibre spam groups).

Since direct violence is involved, in my opinion this requires a degree of sociopathy.

I'm not sympathetic to spam groups either, but at least their profession doesn't have a direct contact with the victims.

I think that the synergy between Twitter and Spaces is more based on real time events where a group of people you follow can talk about the event.
My feeling is that:

- lots of people in the DNN for machine vision community do not have a background in classical techniques.

- a lot of classical techniques and preprocessing pass make no real difference when applied to the input of a DNN and are thus worth eliminating from the pipeline to simplify it (this has been my experience).

However, I do think that there are gain to be gotten by combining classical image processing ideas with neural networks. It just hasn't really happened yet.

I don't know whether or not it's a perfect translation, but from his description I would offer "tunnel vision" for Scheuklappen-Effekt.

Emacs is a truly remarkable program, which has painted itself into a corner. There are just too many locked-in architectural decisions to make a complete list, and it's good enough at being what it is to suck up all the oxygen needed to build another text editor which could overcome the 40+ year head start it has on anything else.

Org-mode is the perfect example of what's right and what's wrong with Emacs. It's great, and it's also a weird ad-hoc format, most of what it does shouldn't live in an editor, and if you want to really use it anywhere but inside emacs, good luck to you. Remarkably powerful for a TODO list which evolved sentience!

I'm heavily invested in doing something about all this, but since none of that code is public yet, I should probably stop faffing about on HN and knock off another issue before the weekend arrives...
I agree that is what the post describes and that it could be a useful process. I don't think "overfitting" describes that process though. Overfitting describes increasing your performance on the training set to the extent that your model performs worse on the data it is used on.

If overfitting is happening here then it wouldn't be beneficial. There is no reason to prefer that your model be better on the training set if you are going to use it to collect batman images across a film. It would be better if your model wasn't overfit, if it performed better on your dataset, then it would collect more images.
>Canadian here. The AVERAGE Canadian's health care is MUCH better than the average American's.

An amazingly high portion of Canadians don't have a family doctor (<https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/despite-more-doctors-many-cana...>). In Atlantic Canada the shortage is astounding (<https://www.thetelegram.com/in-depth/doctor-shortage/what-we...>). It's one thing to have shortages in rural areas—that also happens in the US—but Halifax?!? I've heard the same occurs in Vancouver too.

>But the best hospitals and the best healthcare in the world is in the US ... if you can afford it.

91% of Americans have health insurance, compared to 95-97% for Canada and every other developed country. There are always people who fall into cracks, such as the Canadian who neglects to sign up for a new provincial health care card after moving. The only way to have true 100% coverage is to do what the UK does and not require any card or ID at point of delivery.

>Most of our multi-millionaires and billionaires go to the US for anything critical.

Politicians too, such as Jean Chretien, who twice visited the Mayo Clinic while Prime Minister, disguising the visits as "ski vacations" (<https://web.archive.org/web/20160624132234/http://www.ezrale...>).
Reading about all of this I wonder about the lack of oversight and accountability, and misleading answers to various governmental committees (and to the public, of course). And I know the blanket answer is "well, we cannot divulge our secrets, it would endanger national security!".

But that's often not true. It's self-evident that making detailed records of active intelligence operations public would be self-damaging, but lying about torture is not one of those things. Saying "well, the president claimed we were supposed to guarantee detainees the same standards of treatment as under American law", when someone who conducted the rendition program says "that's a lie" is not the kind of secret you suppress because it would otherwise endanger national security -- it's the kind of secret you suppress because you're undemocratic. Same with destroying records of torture.

The underlying matter here is: how did the US as a (modern) country decide that some things should not be subjected to democracy, that some rules cannot be decided or at least known by the people, and that this must be done "for their own good"?

"But national security!" is a bullshit answer. No-one is asking them to divulge the list of their covert agents right now.
> There's a reason why you won't find any useful smart coffee machine on the market.

Sure! It's expensive to shove a bunch of smart technology into every single device, especially given that everyone wants something a little different so your interface would need to be feature-rich to support those use cases. Note that we don't really care about having a smart coffee machine in the outlined scenario; we need a coffee machine that can be preheated, which doesn't have to be any more complicated than a switch on the power supply on the right dumb machine.

> And your house knowing where your keys are is either so specific a scenario that it's useless or contents of fantasy science fiction.

With off-the-shelf software it's a mix between the two. The hard bit wouldn't be the location of simple objects like keys (throw a few sensors around the house, customize the final layer on a pre-trained model, and pick your favorite approximate inverse-3d mapper to get a rough location in space of the object); it would be the location of complicated objects (house, where's my Lang's Algebra?), cases where you don't have enough information but would hope that the house might figure it out (e.g., boxes of things), and the humanistic output (rather than saying they're on the bedside table, you might have to resort to a screen that can show locations of things on a heatmap).

> You will probably need to assemble your own lamps

That was a communication error on my part. "Off-the-shelf" included things like off-the-shelf microcontrollers, wiring, ....

> and proprietary software will get on your way on every step

And is best avoided. I'd be tempted to hook into Google Calendar or something for upcoming trips since they've already implemented models to find that kind of thing, at least starting out, but otherwise I see no reason you'd want to use proprietary software in a project like that.

Source: was a priest in WoW back in the day. Because nobody else wanted to, not because my warlock sucked.
When I was at Oracle in the 90s, I was constantly having to sit down at someone else's machine (this was before covid, of course). And there were zillions of Unix versions, not just Linux. You couldn't even count on emacs being installed, but I drew the line at learning vi, other than :q! If they'd been editing, I'd ask them to save it.

What that meant is, whatever customizations I had on my own machine were not available. I had to learn to work with the defaults. This is liberating. I recommend it.
> What I am saying is that we need to accept that this is the environment, and if we want less invasive technical solutions to problems people think are real, and which you cannot prove are not, then we need to create them.

And what I'm saying is that this is a giant waste of time because if someone has a phobia about their kid getting abducted, that phobia will not go away just because Apple started scanning photos.

You want people to come up with a technical solution, but you don't even know to define what a "solution" is. How will we measure that solution absent statistics? How will we know if it's working or not? Okay, Apple starts scanning photos. Are we done? Has that solved the problem?

We don't know if that's enough, because people's fears here aren't based on the real world, they're based on Hollywood abduction movies, and those movies are still going to get made after Apple starts scanning photos.

You are completely correct that the stats are insufficient to convince these people. But you're also completely wrong in assuming that there is some kind of escape hatch or technological miracle that anyone can pull off to make those fears go away, because in your own words: "parents will be afraid for their children regardless of the stats."

If Apple's policy reduces abuse by 90%, they'll still be afraid. If it reduces it by 10%, they'll still be afraid. There is no technological solution that will ease their fear, because it's not about the stats.

I'm open to being proven wrong that predation is a serious problem that needs drastic intervention. I'm open to evidence that suggests that encryption is a big enough problem that we need to come up with a technological solution. I just want to see some actual evidence. People being scared of things is not evidence, that's not something we can have a productive conversation about.

If we're going to create a "solution", then we need to know what the problem is, what the weak points are, and what metrics we're using to figure out whether or not we're making progress.

If that's not on the table, then also in your words, we need to "accept that this is the environment" and stop trying to pretend that coming up with technical solutions will do anything to reduce calls to weaken encryption or insert back doors.
These are tremendous questions! Ones we need to continue to think through, but I can share our early thoughts...

1. Content cost: Generally speaking, and assuming capital raises, we will only buy content that our subscription revenues can sustain. And over time, we do intend to raise our price as the service gets better.

2. Product: Yes, the product is far from perfect. We wanted to get in market with content, and iterate on product as we learn. We're largely leveraging third-parties to hold this thing up, but we will make improvements just as any product does. In terms of it being a differentiator, it's just that different, not necessarily defensible. But the way the market sits, we're the only ones interested in doing that. But I get your point, it's not like Netflix has a game-changing technology advantage over all the companies chasing them.

3. Content diversification: We hope to have the most, and best, black content on the planet.

4. Lack of content: Yes, we're very early, and I'm worried about not having enough content. But we will continue to add to it as we grow. We definitely do not plan to stay where we're at, but where we're at does work for our super-niche demo w/in the greater black community at this point.

5. UX/filtering/etc.: Thank you for calling those site issues out. We aim to fix those this weekend!

6. Content sampling: Agreed. We should, and will, make it easier to do that. However, the 7-day free trial mitigates that to some degree. Additionally, people generally don't just land on our site/homepage randomly. They usually have seen a trailer or come through a landing page that features (and describes) a specific show.

7. Just be a curator: Netflix also had the advantage of doing this 10+ years ago, so we can't change that. The truth is that with today's number of options, you have to have content that people can't get elsewhere. Plus, as I've alluded to in the comments, working directly with creators has been a big part of acquiring subscribers for us, and will likely continue to be so.

The US is a somewhat unique case because of (of course) slavery, and in particular how long it lasted and how difficult it was to eradicate the last vestiges of explicit or implicit slavery. (People were still being treated as de facto slaves into the 1960s, for example: https://www.livescience.com/61886-modern-slavery-united-stat...)

In most other countries, including other countries that practiced slavery, either more of the original cultural of Black residents remains intact, or there's been more time post-slavery for a united-by-slavery monoculture to more visibly break up into smaller subcultures, or both.
Those are separate. Though, they do provide a lot of guidance via documentation. They also offer discounted EOY tax services through a partner, which we used and were very affordable.

But there are a number of things you'll have to track and handle yourself, like filing your 83b election with the IRS.
> Can Clubhouse ever recreate the magic of being a high status place to be seen?

I sure hope not. That clout chasing crap leads to the worst and most boring conversations.
Well I don't disagree there. Maybe I've just spoken sloppily. I wish BlackOak success in their mission. And I hope at some point I can be part of their vision for audience. Everything else I've said can simply be considered feedback, which I think the founder solicited in the OP.
Ehh, they recorded onto three film strips at once, each a grayscale representation of one color, then dyed each one and combined them. I totally get what you're saying, but I feel like the sentence you quoted is a reasonable interpretation of that. At least they explained what they meant by it.
> next 50 years (assuming they'd work that long...)

I don't think this is reasonable, even if you started working at age 20 at a FAANG, you're not going to work until you're 70.

Keep in mind this industry is very ageist, you'd be lucky to even get 30 years of high salary income if you're not exceptionally good. That's assuming you don't burn out.

I'm surprised folks still use unrealistic examples such as these to move discussions in a certain direction.
I wish there was a solid competitor to Emacs, but the thing that keeps me coming back is that I have the time to tinker with it a lot and the community is great. Vim and Vscode have some valiant maintainers of projects, but from what I've seen it's nothing compared to the big Emacs projects, especially Org mode for which I haven't found a reasonable alternative in Vscode.

However, I don't like fact that most of the editor is a single event loop. This is not a big deal most of the time, but if, say, you're using magit on a large repo and a command finishes and the buffer must refresh, you're gonna wait there for several seconds being unable to do anything else (no switching to other buffers, much less continuing to use Magit while it is updated asynchronously).
(btw if I'm wrong about this, for the long of god enlighten me!)

elisp is a bit quirky and dated, and very hard to figure out incrementally. I am still at the place of "copy-paste from other smart people's configs" because I have not really sunk the time to gain a deep understanding of the language; the lack of types and a somewhat tricky (although functional) debugger prevents many of the things about the language from being elucidated, especially because the powerful macros.

However, I don't really know what an effective alternative would be besides perhaps Javascript (which I'm also not a fan of) or Python.
That is a good point, but I was specifically talking about putting unambiguously deadly poison in baby food.

There are always going to be grey areas, such as the line between "safe" and "unsafe", and Libertarianism doesn't provide any guidance on where that line should be. The government's role is to define that line, and the courts to interpret it as part of checks and balances.
Serious question, does that make a difference if you heat your house using a thermostat anyway? The furnace should just run for less time to compensate.

Owned a sleek and sporty (styled, anyway) '98 sedan, around the turn of the millennium. Just as with my parents' cars in the 80s and 90s, the windshield got splattered all the time. Had to clean it on road trips.

I, for one, think we do an incredible disservice to the athletes that perform to not acknowledge other places.

When an athlete manages to beat an Olympic or World record and comes in second by a hair, I think its pretty silly to state "other places don't matter".

First place is better than second is better than 8th is better than 11th.

If these places didn't matter, why would we bother keeping record of standings?

I just don't get the "Gold or last" mentality.

Seemed relevant with the news about Apple scanning for child sexual abuse images on user devices. A gray area even in the US, I found Canada particularly notable, since their law makes no distinction between cartoons, and images of real child abuse:

The definitive Supreme Court of Canada decision, R. v. Sharpe, interprets the statute to include purely fictional material even when no real children were involved in its production.
My issue with ticketing systems is similar to most issues I have with this industry: cognitive dissonance.

On the one hand, companies ask me to put all this work into my tickets. Fill out this field, fill out that field, link to this thing, organize it this way... etc.

On the other hand, the company puts NEAR ZERO real effort into making this experience easy and efficient.

I've seen it happen most often with companies that flip-flop between defining themselves as a "start-up" but in the same breath talk about their worldwide enterprise presence. Of course they have 500+ employees. Sometimes thousands. They like to put on their startup hat when refusing to pay money for things and they like to put on their large scale enterprise hat when instituting ticket requirement policies.
Most modern printers are creepy AF. They constantly phone home their ink status etc. A lot of them apart set up helpful WiFi access points where anyone can connect and see what you've left on the scanner plate. HP I'm looking at you.
> If I criticize some behavior that happens to be more prevalent among black americans than other americans, to some people that simple fact makes that critique, and thus me, a racist.

You'll have to talk to those people, whoever they are. What I'm saying is that actual racist behavior often uses arguably non-racist arguments to attack African-Americans. It's an obvious and well-used tactic.

> No, they're not.

Hate speech spreads and promotes hate, of course, and that is dangerous to vulnerable minorities. And yes, people lose their jobs because they are minorities.
