No prejudice here. Some gay people are promiscuous. Some straight people are promiscuous. Some straight people have anal sex. Some gay people have anal sex.

But what's also true is that gay people on average are much more promiscuous and much more likely to have anal sex. This is obvious to anyone who knows any significant number of gay people. And it is also reflected in countless surveys.
I vaguely remember someone complaining that a GPT-3 based text fantasy adventure generator, took a rather drastic turn when they wrote that the next sentence in the story was that they mounted their dragon. Which is pretty much comedy gold!
> You stole my work

Says someone that at best thought about starting it.
This looks really cool. Will absolutely try it out. :)
You can use newpipe, youtube vanced or youtube in a browser with adblock turned ON.
My developer relations team uses Discord. For us, it is more about strategy and design questions that are often tied to the customer's particular use case. If there are common themes or challenges, we will turn it into a blog post, video, docs, etc to capture it.

Other discussions such as "why doesn't this code work?" or "this behavior seems unexpected" we redirect to StackOverflow and GitHub. Discord also serves as an activity hub for us as we have channels with automated feeds from blogs, youtube, stackoverflow, github, twitter, etc all located in a single location.

This pattern seems to be working for us.
Ownership used to be by virtue of possessing something. Sure you could steal something, which is why people protect the things they own, because possession is in fact a huge part of who owns what.

Intellectual property is another thing entirely, and not as easy to enforce, especially in the digital age.
Little point in an NFT if it's the legal system protecting you, the downfall of NFT's, it serves little purpose. I mean Shutterstock has been around for ages.
I have no idea. Have you tried asking them. I know Google is notorious for being impossible to contact but I haven't heard the same about Amazon.

EDIT: On further thought I wonder if it might have something to do with the name of your site. A person might expect fahrrad-tools.com to be a site where they could buy tools, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
thanks :)

The create-rust-app.dev domain is meant to host the documentation (which definitely needs more work!)

EDIT: as it stands, the installation instructions on the docs site are outdated haha
Ironically I get a bunch of rejection letters on most jobs that I apply for. Cannot figure it out either
Most anti-woke groups don't instruct their members to not associate outside of the tribe.

Hardcore racist groups certainly do though.
It's good though, because that attitude will sooner or later let the fortress collapse and we all want it that way.
I've been growing plants for the last year and a half or so (covid y'know) and it's really enjoyable and fulfilling, I highly recommend it.

Among other things I've got five little macadamia trees, three Torrey pine trees, two carob trees that just sprouted, and a sequoiadendron giganteum seedling about an inch tall. (It's funny to me that the Giant Sequoia seeds are tiny, smaller than a grain of rice, yet the tree grows to be so huge.)

It's fun and fascinating to watch them sprout and grow.

(FWIW, I really like J.L. Hudson for seeds: https://jlhudsonseeds.net/index.html They have all kinds of plants from all over the world, really good prices and quality, and I like their attitude.)
Ask HN: Have OCD, suffering from extreme procrastination, please help?
I am a web developer, I am also suffering from OCD for years, was depressed for while after the initial diagnosis of OCD which was years ago. I take 60mg of Fluxetine daily and Quetiapine at night to help with sleep.

May be I also have ADHD, since sometime I get really excited about things and do things energetically, but sometime I get pretty down. I also prefer work on only things I care about or interested in. My mind get flooded with thoughts most of the time.

After finishing college I was working on projects, but I was not able to finish any of my projects. I sometime gather courage to work for a while but fall of the wagon after a week or so. In recent months I have not done anything useful keep procrastinating on things. Over the years my obsessive thoughts have evolved with the age, these days I mostly battle with ethical, legal obsessive thoughts, while I can control the response to these thoughts with meds. I seem to have complex obsessive thought which revolves around perfectionism, where I plan things and work for week then procrastinate, replan then work for while then procrastinate and so on. But last recent days I have lost the energy and have not done useful work, keep procrastinating.

Note : As the procrastinating I do household work, work in the garden, help family members and relations, check email Reddit, HN, watch TV where any of the things are not urgent. (I also seem to have addiction to information since I regularly check HN, Reddit, PH, RSS reader.)

My mother have Parkinson, her condition also deteriorating slowly. Father also have health issues. I am the eldest son of the family, my mother constantly worries about me and my brothers future. We recently showed my mother to psychiatrist where he said my mom is depressed, this probably due since she worries about me and my brother, since she have strong bond towards us due to past unfortunate events with my elder brothers. (My brother does not have any psychological disorder) Even with enough stress I keep procrastinating. I have to get this projects done and make my parents happy before it is too late.

So please any advice would be highly appreciated?

By the way I am from South Asian country where doctors (in my case psychiatrists) are expensive when you made a private booking, they just ask some questions give some meds and take the money without taking things seriously, sometimes does not even take ten minutes which was my experience. Even in the public hospital they pay less attention to me. There are good doctors who are caring but they are really rare which I had at the very beginning after my diagnosis of the OCD, when I was suffering from depression.
That's looking like spectrum.chat
Insiders tend to deny that “the system” exists. Perhaps because they can’t imagine themselves being a cog in the machine. And judging by how much agency you give yourself that seems about right.
Alternatively, we can go buy a print from an artist and hang it on the wall. Then we have inconvenienced a single tree (-ish) and not burned through the power consumption of an American home for a week to have a thing to look at that we like.
As someone who writes very funny things, laughter is an involuntary response and it fuses ideas in peoples minds in a way that is difficult to unlink. There is very likely a version of comedy that would be quite dominating.

An AI comedian would be able to act on humans and cause involuntary responses in them. It doesn't need to be strong or general, this itself is enough to instrumentalize humans to its ends. There is absolutely a flavour of mesmerizing hypnotic language that both standup comedians and self-help gurus use, and it is structured, possibly enough to have its rules encoded or derived by a language model (described as the other NLP).

Perhaps there is a future language model development scheme where you can weight a given text as a primary ontology and then link the rest of the corpus to it so that all incoming stimuli get filtered through that ontology first, sort of like an ideology, but more like you took a corpus of modern mesmerist characters sample texts like Tony Robbins, Osho, Russel Brand, and used their type of syncopated conceptual nesting as a gramatical structure for formulaing statements.

Then again, if someone has already done it, how would we know?
In my experience as a spacemacs user for the last 2.5 years it’s mainly a wrapper that’s just comfy enough to not need to really dig into emacs proper.

It has enough defaults and minor tweaks to live in org-mode adequately.

It probably does keep you from really making it your own and developing the elisp basics to set things up yourself.
Actually, there is a sub-steam of art interpretation that insists that you can ascribe a particular meaning to some part of a peice of art even if the creator explicitly says "I did not mean that"

As the first response there says "Play is a way to learn and hone skills."

And there's an assumption that people who aren't 'playing' would automatically be doing something 'worthy' instead.

I suspect the reality is that most of us here went through an obsessive period of learning something which paid off in unexpected ways later. Eve could be teaching all sorts of things, including business and organizational skills: https://youtu.be/6rEfQ3GT73A?t=878
You redefined firing to be whatever you want it to be. It's a bit nonsensical to assume all firings are employer abuse.
The only problem with that take is that people will hear it and remember “don’t attempt security because it’s hopeless”. It’s the same problem that comes from people discussing premature optimization and using it as a reason to skip simple and obvious performance improvements.

Nuance has a way of being lost in advice like that.
Hahaha I'm just happy there are other people to enjoy these stupid cable TV references with :)
That's not how that works. If you sign up for Signal with the same number on multiple iPhones, for example, only the last one will still be connected. The iPhone app only supports being the primary device. There can only be one primary device per account.
I meant that I expect there are many examples of "a + b = c" in the training corpus, so GPT3 will answer some of them correctly.
I cannot find contact details how to ask a question. I only can find a FAQ but it also is very superficial about what could be done wrong.
> crypto more broadly

Think about all of the licensing, money printing, and registration agencies to ever exist. What percentage of them have significant corruption? Blockchains provides a lot of stability in a way more traditional human organizations fail to.
As another user pointed out the manual is pretty good. The tutorial is good as long as you keep in mind that it focuses a lot on keybindings, which look poorly motivated when you are a novice. However, knowing those keybindings, which are also used by GNU Readline (and hence pervasive in many text applications including most shells), is fundamental to be comfortable with Emacs.

I'd personally start with a clean .emacs (or init.el) and grow it slowly as new needs arise. I've been using Emacs for more than 15 years and my .emacs is less than 100 LOC. This is partly thanks to use-package, which makes it easy to add package customizations in a controlled way.

Another good resource is Mastering Emacs.

Can someone explain why the leaves started to die by the end of it?
It’s not just that they are drug uses, they are often having their crisis on the bus, which is where the danger lies. The D Line isn’t as bad as the E Line, at least. We don’t really have that many school buses in Seattle, most kids are taking city buses. But that specifically isn’t a problem until middle school or so.

When they decided to stop enforcing fares is just when the problem got really bad. I’m not sure what would happen if they started back to the old normal, but the current changing point is probably not a coincidence.
My inner monologue is only there to say disturbing things, so it's nice to drown it out.

Someone like OpenSea would be hosting the sales, no? In fact the creator of the contract could remain anonymous.

It’s also not clear at all which law in which jurisdiction this would be a violation of. It’s akin to a web link, which aren’t illegal anywhere AFAIK.
Oh, Switzerland is already there. Beginning with 2022 IPTV providers are advised to reduce replay functionality to 7 days and you can't skip all ads anymore. [1]

My sister has gone deep with traditional techniques for spinning various fibers into yarn for knitting, and has recently started learning some Peruvian weaving techniques. This has me thinking about technoweaving collectives high in the Andes, and how this would be the most cyber punk thing ever.

Then I start to wonder seriously if we'll hit a point where traditional artisans working with these kinds of materials would be able to create truly novel things with practical uses.
Probably 2 3'rds of internet ads play yo sleeping gamers, bots or people taking toilet breaks.
Is a very satisfying feeling to see the new leaves deploying.

The video show very well the continuous grow. Something interesting happened at the end, probably hormones added.
So they have no appeal process for this kind of decision ?
That may be the case, but not in this case. AirTags had anti stalking built in from the start and were specifically marketed for lost items over stolen items.
You poor thing. If you were a Homo Sapiens, you will be made of even superior technology. Therefore I assume you are one of those flaccid AIs that Sapiens is so infatuated with these days. Sapiens should be properly going nuts about playing with the tech it is made of, instead of wasting time playing with mud...I mean, matrices.

> why the leaves are initially so dark and then become lighter? Is that common?

Yes. Red pigments are a common defense against cold and radiation. They are masked later by the green pigments.
The thing about Adams with regards to world building is that it was always story first. This is why he wrote four different versions of the actual Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy story. One for radio, one for the book, one for the television series, and one for the movie. There are differences, sometimes subtle, sometimes not, between all of those versions. Many of those tweaks were there to make the story fit the intended medium better.

He also wasn’t afraid to co-opt his universe and shoehorn in a story from a different source, if needed. I believe that the third book started life as a Doctor Who script.

Your event approach reminded me of Eric Lippert’s blog post: https://ericlippert.com/2015/04/27/wizards-and-warriors-part...

He also ends up with the commands/actions/events/rules (basically emphasize relation over object) as main types in an interesting[0] example of a rule-based game.

One of my issues with “mainstream OOP” (at this point I’m not even sure what “real” OOP is) is that it apparently tempts people to base their models around objects and subjects not verbs.

I’m not sure if it’s due to prevalent nominal type systems or due to how we traditionally teach class hierarchies (dogs/cats <- animals) but I think centering the model around predicates and relations works much better. [1]

[0] Interesting because while it is a toy example it is one that could be real; not like examples with cars and animals.

[1] Just reminded me a bit of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus; didn’t want to get too philosophical but I think the ontological views we have influence this kind of modelling a lot

I use Github but every time I do something it feels like I’m going to break the whole project. Looking at this map, I realize I basically know nothing.

Where did all you guys learn how to use GitHub?
I often ask questions like this, and the most popular non-answers are, 1) think of the possibilities, 2) this technology is just getting started, so you can't judge it yet, and 3) unverifiable stories about some use case that is at best extremely narrow and may well be hogwash.

And when stating the imagined gains, the costs are always assumed to be zero. We know not to trust our data to a version 0.3 app, but somehow that's a fine thing to do with one's house or life savings.
Necessary throat clearing: modern NLP, and GPT-3 in particular, is incredible, maybe the most exciting scientific field of our time. You have to be incredibly invested in nay-saying to pretend otherwise, and that's coming from someone who's pretty invested in nay-saying actually.

That said, I think comedy is something these sorts of things will naturally do well. It's not really too different from mad-libs. A big part of humor is a well-placed unexpected word, and what the word actually is matters less than you think. So sub-human-level machine text generation does this surprisingly well. In the same way a mad-lib does.
Not an entirely good thing with 7zip. Let's say they download a malicious program from the internet and want to share with their colleagues, email policy will block that so they will zip it up. Now their unsuspecting recipients will not get a warning about the embedded file's origins.

Also, I love the fact that zone.identifier also embeds the referrer URL for the download.
Well done. Do +X/-X represent exactly what is present in "changes"? If so, consistency in terminology would help.
I would love to connect and learn more. Email is in my profile.
Why is the author trying to conceal his identity to this extent?
What do you mean by direct access? You'll need to build a separate app to access these things because they are only accessible via APIs that are only exposed in the java land. But you can build an Android app right on your Android phone. AIDE allows you to do just that, and I believe you can install the raw SDK in Termux and use it as well.

In other words, you can use an Android phone on its own, unmodified, to program it to do arbitrary things. Yes it's awkward and yes you have to jump through some hoops to get it set up. Nevertheless, this fits my definition of a general-purpose computing device.

You could technically do the same on iOS. The only problem here is that Apple would never approve an app that gives a user this much control over their own device. It's not a technical issue, but rather an organizational one.
I can't agree. If say the US government established a central authority say "The National Federal Thingy" authority perhaps and had a registry of NFTs (or could register a decentralized blockchain ID) then it could happen as there is value in guaranteeing something is “the original” promoted by artist, twitterer, etc. However, I don't see that happening as even as such, it seems like kind of a joke and I don't see lawmakers wanting their name on something so associated with grifting.
The news of this women is being rapidly censored and angrily discussed within Chinese circles like on Wechat, this is another twitter post on it: https://twitter.com/manyapan/status/1487463235930501124

Here is an updated BBC article on this:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-60344484

This seems to be a human trafficking case in which the mother was trafficked, raped to have 8 children and abused for 20+ years. She was found by local vloggers being chained up in a shed, not wearing much in 0 degrees celsius weather and basically eating leftovers. Her teeth are mostly gone. There is a huge social uproar in China with the local Xuzhou government desperately trying to cover it up or putting out smokescreens as in the worst part they seem to have tolerated this or at least committed a 20-year span of negligence. The local Xuzhou government weibo has changed their public statement 4 times, each time showing conflicting details and a cover-up stance.

Chinese people who have went to the village to support this woman and to learn more have been blocked by local police and are being held.

I'm posting here in hopes that Western media, international womens' rights and anti-trafficking organizations pick this up as it is almost not broadcast on Western news yet it is such big "news" in Chinese social media and weirdly the Daily Mail was the only place that had most of the updated info as reported within Chinese social media videos.

People able to afford first class are mostly time constraint, not money constraint. If you offer something using only 1/10 the time, they will buy it.
I think a common form of theft is for someone to be defrauded by an order sent to a third party, as if it were a gift and for the package to be picked up from the third party similar to porch pirate activities. I saw a short documentary about this performed at an semi-industrial scale where the pickup was done by a car service person as a side-gig.

It is unethical. You just don't see it because we are selfish and does not care about ethics when there is our profit, humans in a nutshell.
How does that make it fake? An NFT doesn't convey ownership. I can make a website that simply has a link to Google and sell it to people. That's not a fake website, even though it links to something I don't own. Likewise, I don't need to own the Mona Lisa to sell someone a piece of paper that says "The Mona Lisa is in the Louvre."

This seems to be more about what people are imagining NFTs are than what they actually are.

Yes, abstracting away from the context only works if you can tell that the problem really is context-independent. This works well with apples, not so well with e.g. commutativity once you get to things like matrices. So abstraction (from "apples" to "numbers" to "matrices") can sometimes reintroduce context that had previosly been discarded.
