A useful HN feature would be small space to put in a summary, like the abstract:

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have so far been the de-facto model for visual data. Recent work has shown that (Vision) Transformer models (ViT) can achieve comparable or even superior performance on image classification tasks. This raises a central question: how are Vision Transformers solving these tasks?

Are they acting like convolutional networks, or learning entirely different visual representations? Analyzing the internal representation structure of ViTs and CNNs on image classification benchmarks, we find striking differences between the two architectures, such as ViT having more uniform representations across all layers.

We explore how these differences arise, finding crucial roles played by self-attention, which enables early aggregation of global information, and ViT residual connections, which strongly propagate features from lower to higher layers. We study the ramifications for spatial localization, demonstrating ViTs successfully preserve input spatial information, with noticeable effects from different classification methods. Finally, we study the effect of (pretraining) dataset scale on intermediate features and transfer learning, and conclude with a discussion on connections to new architectures such as the MLP-Mixer.
Can this import .webloc and .url files? If there's something I want to keep, I will normally just drag the url over to my desktop when then saves it as one of those files. I don't have a toolbar showing in my browser and trying to hunt for the link or button to save it is more work than just dragging the url to the desktop.

I liked that the remote controls on these old things (if they had one) would actually have a servo physically turn the dial one notch.

Also, ask anyone that had an old tv with a physical dial if they remember using a matchbook, paper, etc, to hold the dial offset just a little so that the picture was clear. A surprisingly common memory for many.
Safari's Reading List feature does something similar. Or it's supposed to. In my experience it often fails to save articles so you can read them offline.
Think of it as a remmitance system, relatives overseas send money to family in lebanon in bitcoin, these individuals but it off them for cash, they also sell bitcoin to anyone who liquidates local assets for cash and wants to gtfo of Lebanon.

Replace "unvaccinated" with not sufficiently immune and it might make sense. Some people were immune from earlier exposure before the vaccines were even available. No studies have been done to assess proper risk benefit for these people and there are simple blood tests to indicate immunity above an appropriately chosen threshold.

Or, if you aren't willing the change that language, then I would plead for an explanation.

The problem with these stories is that I never seem to see any obvious medical exemption mentioned. Is it there but just not mentioned for brevity? Unfortunately recent news indicates you have to sue to receive a medical exemption which is probably unduly restrictive for 99% of the population. So what does 99% do when there livelihoods are on the line? They line up and get the shot they were most definitely coerced into getting. Coerced because they are not given the appropriate information assess risk benefit at the personal level.

I don't see how your assertion contradicts OP's. A regulation barring more dense developments solves the defection problem that a pact between property owners in a free market would have.

As long as the free market persists, then even if all property owners would benefit from fewer new developments, they have no practical way to enforce a pact to not build new developments, so their situation is a prisoner's dilemna where the best option is to build.

The same principle applies to price cutting. If all companies could enforce a pact to not cut prices, then they could extract economic rent via above-market prices and inflated profit margins, but absent government enforced price floors, the best strategy for any given company is to reduce prices to gain market share, to the extent that their production costs allow.
GameTap had a Decent collection of Sega consoles and arcade titles back in the day, though it unfortunately never got off the ground. Nintendo has been particularly aggressive regarding ligating against ROMs historically and sold them as individual units, though with the Switch's online service's free NES/SNES games it seems like they're dipping their toes into the model. I think the risk to them is if someone winds up playing say the GB version of Link's Awakening for free instead of the $60 remake.

> it seems like if some individual has been working with you for years, you should probably have access to better metrics for this than degree/no degree, such as personal acquaintance and familiarity

But it isn't about the employee's competence, so how would metrics help? It's about the employee's compliance.

Look at it from the point of view of the organisation, not the point of view of an individual within the organisation: an individual literally gets told what steps are needed to reach some objective, and then they fail to take those steps!

That does not bode well for that individual in terms of making business decisions, hence they shouldn't be in a position of more power and/or influence anyway, because they are unable to achieve an objective even when it is spelled out to them.
really lovely work
Hi, thanks for the question. We gift the net agency fee (so the placement fee minus the operating costs of the agency). So that is just normal work & commission for the agents. The overall agency profits, which owners or shareholders would receive is gifted to the worker.
Absolutely. If I own my data, someone processing this data on my behalf has no right or obligation to scan it for illegal content. The fact that this data sometimes sits on hard drives owned by another party just isn't a relevant factor. Presumably I still own my car when it sits in the garage at the shop. They have no right or obligation to rummage around looking for evidence of a crime. I don't see abstract data as any different.

Our major privacy blunder was accepting scanning of private data in any context. The fight should be for the absolute privacy of personal data. Where the scanning happens is mostly irrelevant.
It's not practical to use bitcoin for individual transactions due to the high cost. If there was an easy way for non-tech people to cash in and out of crypto currency easily I bet that would be a good alternative.

If he was circumcised as an infant - absent a medical diagnosis of disease or defect that can only reasonably be treated by surgery - then he is a victim of cultural male genital mutilation.

As to whether it's child pornography, I can't say, but sadly, I can tell you that there are people in the world who get off on infant circumcision. To my knowledge, the "Gilgal Society" was one such group.
“ Americans embrace policies which they know will kill people, sometimes large numbers of people. They do so not because they are psychopaths but because they are rational”

Lol. People fear flying and not driving exactly because we’re irrational, not because we’re rational. People oppose lower speed limits for entirely emotional reasons - if we could understand how risky driving is we would fear it like so many of us fear flying, but we’ve learned to suspend our fear through normalization and technology (try driving 80mph in a motorcycle instead of a noise cancelled suv cab) I suspect covid will be fully normalized very soon. It’ll still kill people every year, but (largely due to vaccines) it’ll be small enough numbers that it’ll just fade into the background like all the car accidents that kill people every day.
“The company confirmed on Aug. 16 that it was hacked, later adding that attackers made off with personal data from 54 million people. Those victims include 7.8 million current postpaid customers, T-Mobile said, and about 46 million former and prospective customers who applied for plans.”

This is why we can’t have nice things. Render unto Caeser that which is Caeser’s.
I didn't see much of an improvement when using do not call many years ago. Enabling an iPhone app dedicated to it helped greatly. And by default on iOS I have all unknown calls sent to voicemail, and I just make sure to have anyone I know who expect to call my in my phone book already. So most all calls in voicemail are spam. And if I know I will be getting a call from an unknown number like to schedule a delivery I disable the feature temporarily. Process works well.

Wasn't part of the reason for LIDAR getting cheaper because of tech that Waymo developed?
Interesting idea. I think you're underestimating the commitment of the people of Afghanistan to Islam. Their culture and religious values are more important to them than flip flops and food. Certainly there are some Afghans who would rather eat well and live comfortably, but I wouldn't call it a majority. Violent Islamists aren't just fighting the West because it is a profitable endeavor, they have an entirely different set of values about what is right and what is wrong. Even those who are not violent have a fundamentally different viewpoint about moral, spiritual, and political values than what is typical in the USA and Europe. Your thought experiment is remarkably similar to the politicians in the US who thought they could bribe people to take the COVID vaccines. People do respond to incentives, but only to a certain extent — there are huge numbers of people in this world who have a value system that takes 'profit' out of the equation.

I say "should"...
> Why do you think the trolley problem applies here?

Well, the right to live is usually considered a human right, and a trolley problem is a conflict between this right for 1 person and another. So if you want human rights that can't get into conflict you can't even get the most basic ones.

And you can create similar conflict for any particular right you can imagine, so if you want human rights that don't conflict - you will have no human rights at all.

Another example - siamese twins with 1 set of necessary organs. Threatened pregnancy depending on your views on abortion. Necessary self-defense. It's impossible to create non-conflicting rights.

As for freedom of expression - it gets into conflict each time 2 people try to speak at the same time in the same place.

Same with right to protest (what if 2 groups with opposite views want to organize protests at the same time and place - a common occurrence during LGBT parades in my country).

The Variety article theorizes that the backlash may have actually been exactly the outcome OnlyFans wanted, because they were able to focus public outrage toward the banks and payment processors putting them in that position.

I knew a probation officer for sex offenders. They told me that most of them were quite dumb. What the repeat offenders were, though, is dedicated. They had all day to try to avoid getting caught, and the PO had a few minutes per week per offender.

It's true that in any arms race, a given advance gets adapted to. This will surely catch a bunch of people up front and then a pretty small number thereafter as the remainder learn to avoid iPhones. But that's how arms races work. You could say that about almost any advance in fighting CSAM.
If you can't withdraw money from your mutual fund, or put a charge on your credit card, paying rent for 6months is the least of your worries.
Yeah, it’s more expensive in the big cities, but if you by a house you tend to profit from that increase. It’s hard to see that when in the early stages of your career, but I’m glad I stuck it out and didn’t move to a low cost area.

Im in the late stages of my career and after owning my home for 15 years my mortgage is far less than rents in my area, my salary has gone up a ton over the years, and my house has appreciated a ton.

If you are a dev early in your career and in a big city, stick it out. Get into a big company that gives you stock options that are worth something, but a house when you can, and start working to max out your 401k. In all likelihood it will pay off in the long run. My old boss called it the “get rich slowly plan”. As a person that grew up really poor and has been in tech over 20 years, I can assure you it pays off.

The record label secured the rights to use the photo from people legally able to grant those rights.

I don’t see a legal quandary at all and, unless you think all minors’ likenesses should not be able to appear in commercial material, I don’t see a moral or ethical quandary. Plaintiff’s destination for their complaint is with their parents, IMO.

Same as if adult Mikey objected to being associated with Life cereal or adult Macauley Culkin objected to being in Home Alone.

Edit to add: > Elden says his parents never signed a release authorising the use of his image on the album.

Iff that claim is true (which should be a relatively straightforward finding of fact) and that fact means that the label didn’t have the rights to use the likeness [the claim doesn’t rely on a technicality of the word “release”, but where the label has a license to use], then I’d say he’s got a case.

My apologies, I read your comment more uncharitably than you intended.

> Another user believed that they should base the decisions of who to save on the cultural mores, history, and laws of the region where they are sold.

This brings up a different issue: the product will then be considered amoral in the particular region that it is deployed in. That's the problem with using "morals" as a yardstick - it's too subjective because every culture has their own set of morals, and these morals change over time anyway.

For a product sold in multiple regions, it makes sense to follow the cultural mores of that region. If you don't like their morals, don't do business with them.

Adobe has been literally the only thing that keeps me anchored to my Windows PC.

I've seen a lot of talk on the Adobe forums about them not supporting Linux and the responses have been mostly because they think Linux users expect it to be free, and would never pay for it. They also regularly denigrate Linux users as people who like to run lean systems that wouldn't be able to handle the hardware requirements Adobe has for their creative suite products.

It was really shocking to read some of the comments from Adobe employees about Linux users and why they won't ever support Linux.
To me, design and ease of use counts as innovative. Whether it was inevitable or not isn't particularly relevant.

Being in a third-world country and part of the crypto community feels so liberating. You can feel the difference between you and a non-crypto person.
It is. The problem is connecting to the rest of the financial system. Imagine starting an "ISP" that had not upstream connectivity. It wouldn't be an ISP then. Same problem here.

There's a few players here:

payment gateways, this is a service that provides the checkout service on a website and handles protected credit card information. Payment gateways also provide anti-fraud services.

payment processors, these execute the actual transaction. They are members of card associations like Visa and connect the card issuing bank and the merchant bank of the payee.

merchant banks, these are the banks that hold the company's bank account that the funds from the payment processor come into.

card associations, Visa/Mastercard these provide the connectivity and set the high level rules.

card issuers, these entities extend credit and may be retail banks or other parties.

there is a difference between Amex/Discover and Visa/Mastercard in that the former are also the issuer. That's why you also see Visa debit cards in Europe, they're using the payment processing network but not extending credit.

It should be clear that starting a new payment gateway is trivial. It takes money to properly comply but ultimately this is a software business. Starting a new payment processor is much harder but it doesn't matter because all payment processors must comply with the card association rules to get access to that network.

Starting your own card network would require attracting issuers who would then issue cards that people could use to pay for OnlyFans... probably not realistic!

It was the threat by Visa and MC to cut them off that was the killer here, plenty of payment processors would be happy to take their money but not if the card networks ban the company.
Those conversations would have been fun to hear.

I would love to see their metrics. I would imagine, like most things, they have a ton of whales so that even if a minority of guys subscribe to 50 girls there probably are plenty of people with addictions shelling out $500 or $1000 a month on this stuff. And this people could represent the majority of all payments on the site.

It also seems (from actual published data) that the distribution is super weighted towards the top performers. That being said, even an extra 1k a month is pretty sick for posting topless photos if your regular income is less than 40k or you are in school.
