Sure, but that speaks more to your personal connection to the creator of the art and less to her actual artistic ability, which might be utter drivel.

Whereas I could take some of these images generated by DALLE, slap a human sounding artist name on them, and 99% of the general populace would enjoy it just as they were the human produced art.
I vaguely recall that image resolution is a function of total photons inbound, distance to the object being observed, and effective sensor size.

The photon density (assuming the source is not a point source) varies over the distance to the observed object, which will place a theoretical limit on resolution.

The other half is sensor size, ie, can we catch enough photons to make sense of what's emitting/reflecting them?

I haven't touched optics in a long time, though.
The "make it part of the browser" argument doesn't work in practice because the GDPR covers the intent and purpose of data collection/processing rather than any specific technical way of collecting or processing said data. Blocking cookies at the browser level doesn't prevent the website from using browser fingerprinting or the information you manually provided (your delivery address to make a purchase for example) in a way you didn't agree with.
Depends on how much the company values (i.e. is paying for) that supply chain security. And if enough companies cared they could even save money by pooling efforts.
> Since you mention "delete the cookie banners and associated tracking completely" without specifying methods

For clarity, I was suggesting that site owners eliminate the banners and associated tracking.

That said, I'd certainly second the recommendation for uBlock Origin.

lol, it wasn't shitty, it was weird. there have been maybe 10-20 horrible days in my life. I also got to hang out with every rock star I looked up to, and hang out with almost every celebrity I loved. I have a few left on the list, but, with great highs come great lows. And, I never smoked crack, so at least I can say that.
My theory is it was a combination of things. From my experience, Minix was the first Unix-like system I was able to run on my PC. And Linux was sort of a spiritual successor of Minix.

Then there was the fact that Linux was just a kernel, and needed a distribution to put together a working OS. Whereas BSD already was a full system. Now that would seem to favor BSD, however the userland for Linux was the GNU tools. Where BSD userland was mostly identical to other Unix systems (seeing as half of them were BSD based), GNU was (in my recollection) mostly an improvement over the standard Unix userland utilities. Furthermore since Linux was only useful if you had a distribution, a lot of distributions popped up. Now you could have a situation where BSD was more popular than any given Linux system, however the quantity of all the Linux systems ended up being more than BSD, with a lot more innovation from all the distribution creators. Each distro could specialize in a given area, you could have hobby-oriented ones, enterprise targeted, embedded... you wouldn't get that from any of the BSDs as they wouldn't have the resources to branch into all those competing specialties.
free as in dollars, but not free as in privacy and solidifying monopoly.

although clicking the pricing tab - it says hobby / personal use free / "For professional websites that aren't business-critical." - $20 /month

and "For small businesses operating online." - $200 / month

custom price for non-small business..

Although I did not see tunnel there specifically, and the tunnel page just has a 'download the paper' CTA - so it's hard to know what price one should be paying, on top of the first two things of course.
Microsoft is part of "them" now though given their direction since Windows 10, so I find that very unlikely.
Nice! Ok, now someone needs to do WinMerge
We should probably start an open source sanction list of individuals who abuse trust to ship malware. The faker/colors guy, node-ipc guy, whoever's responsible for this, etc. Then npm audit or some other checker should crit if there's a package under their control in your supply chain. Well they can assume new identities, but at least we learn about clearly unsafe packages created before any identity change.
yeah, I mean, I don't know what the solution is, like I am looking, but, I have no damn idea.
I don't think that's reasonable. People use NPM for various purposes, and professional-grade software with guarantees is only one use of many.

You need to vet your packages. Always, even if you paid for it.

There are package managers that work with Github repos. Should this apply to every public Github repo too?
When you look through a lens, you will get diffraction around the perimeter. This is the kind of thing you try to reduce, i.e. as an astronomer or optical physicist. But it is there, with any lens, no matter what.

I liken this to the paradox of Godel's incompleteness (they couldn't just call it a paradox ;). The Big Bang is like staring into the paradox of the way we calculate most of the universe. Mathematically, there is a big bang in every moment, if you take the parameters far enough.

Big Bangists see this as the origin of the universe, not the the paradox of Quantum Physics.
That's a tremendous expectation. There are 913 node_modules in the first project I glanced at. That's millions of lines of code.... More than one person can reasonably audit even if it's their full-time job. Where would this responsibility end? Should they also be auditing Node.JS source code? And nightly browser builds? No, we necessarily federate our trust at some point in these things being raised by others (like now, albeit 23 days late).
So the calculated age of the star is wrong (ie, our observations are correct and our underlying theories about how stars age is wrong), OR our observations are incorrect.

The former is a far more interesting case, IMO.

I disagree, the responsibility is ultimately on the consumer, assuming the dependency is FOSS.
CRUD apps don't take a lot of work to do and they usually solve real problems for small and mid size businesses in your area. That's a real business opportunity in most cities in the world.

Not everyone needs to be Google.
No, GPT-3 still produces gibberish at times. The majority of the good examples still ramble like a schizophrenic person. Much of the output is uncanny, interesting, and impressive in its own right but I wouldn't describe it as human level.

DALL-E 2 is different from what I've seen. The things it produces seem to actually make sense the majority of the time. The outputs are strikingly similar to what a competent human might output as opposed to one with a severe mental illness.

I'm sure part of this is an inherent advantage that DALL-E enjoys regarding context. Art is supposed to be artistic whereas text is expected to maintain long distance logical consistency of abstract concepts across a stream of output and also to communicate something concrete. So in a sense the bar for art is probably lower in many ways.
Doesn't matter. The law doesn't require the exclusion to be intentional or even explicable. It's purely based on outcomes.
You want to let people commit whatever fraud they want using your computer? Knowingly?

> Why should I trust open source today? Packages are routinely hacked, political message or not.

Correction: NPM packages are routinely hacked.

I've been using linux packages for two decades, and not once have they been hacked (to my knowledge). I consider those packages to be infinity more secure than proprietary packages where I and others can't check what's running under the hood.

OSS being safe and secure is one of the primary reasons why I prefer open source to closed source software.
To pass one must get a 70% separately on both the pedagogy and non-pedagogy section of the test. It doesn't matter what percentage of the questions are pedagogy, since it's marked independently of the math content and must be passed independently.

> Pedagogy is also presumably taught as part of the teaching degree that the test-takers complete.

The above isn't general pedagogy, it's Ontario-curriculum-specific. Applicants are not required to have Ontario diplomas, and there were no prep materials available. This has the end result that the test was effectively testing whether you happened to be educated in Ontario.
That’s because the entire corpus of art is stored in the neural network weightings as memory. It’s built to imitate human art by optimizing towards these weightings.

Ha! Yes, exactly... it "solves the problem", but not always as desired :^)
You do not require a masters for a GS-12. Many entry-level engineering positions (hard or soft) have a target grade of GS-12, so if you do your job at all you'll be there in a few years. If you're even slightly serious you'd likely snag a GS-13 position within 5-10 years. If you're in a low-COL area, ~110k is reasonably competitive. Also keep in mind that you're working 40-hour weeks -- none of this exploitative 60+-hour week death march nonsense.
Maybe it was Linus Torvalds' famously friendly personality. :)
Depends on what you mean.

But generally I’d say no felonies, no drugs (convictions and/or test results) and no strong ties to foreign governments. But the details will vary a bit.
> How is this compatible with human rights? The proper process should be like this: if country A thinks that someone from country B has commited a crime against them then they should come to that country and prove it in a court without being able to add additional charges. This is the only way where the defendand won't be stripped of their rights.

Countries have treaties with each other, trying to make extradition treaties akin to slavery is completely absurd.

EU nations have extradition treaties, despite having different laws regarding different crimes. It is compatible with "human rights" cause citizens have rights but also duties established by their respective countries constitutions, and EU nation constitutions acknowledge that a crime committed, physically or remotely, in one nation makes the citizen of one country subject to the law of the other EU country where the crime was committed, period. Is that what you consider "slavery"?
This is not an obvious thing. Cities can (imo should) give more priority to buses in the form of dedicated lanes and traffic signal priority.
No, that did not happen. Please read the link I posted.

How to Get Confident with Statistics
Sure, you're making a reasonable choice given the current reality. But it doesn't have to be that way. When I say driving should be difficult, I don't mean just make the roads worse without any other changes. I mean improve active transportation, transit, and housing density/affordability. In the short term, each improvement here will cause some pain in making driving slightly harder, but after sufficient time the other options will be good enough that nobody will miss driving.
I totally missed this Simpsons avatar thing.
Problem is, people mostly don't pay for free software. Even if they know how hard it is to make it. The free software we have, we got thanks to corporate charity.
Link to the lies, for posterity?
Sure, that's true. But I've been in companies where they've had major investments and have a pretty significant number of users, and they still had stupid amounts of credits. One of my previous companies was running a third of their infra on AWS credits, and they still long runway in terms of free credits.

Meanwhile, they had to shake off a £1 million a year contract for the next 5 years for 2 DCs. With AWS they were using less than half of that per year (this includes the credits they had). But even if it wasn't cheaper, requesting a new server took days, not minutes. Scaling was not possible. I'll take the credit and potentially get trapped than having to deal with an inflexible mess that is in-house managed infrastructure.

At least bigger orgs are able to afford it by (hopefully) building a cloud on top of their infrastructure, but outside that, the majority should of companies be looking into the cloud. Whether that be AWS, GCP, or the smaller Clouds like DO, it doesn't matter.
I'm at Stripe and my WLB is fine fwiw. It's busy, but my managers and team do not encourage overwork.

Dual boot windows and Linux with separate drives. Lock your windows drive in a timelock safe and have it only open on Fridays or whenever you want it to open, biweekly even. Or Thursdays when you have a game session with your friends.

When you get the urge to game you need to do one of:

* install windows and games from scratch on a new drive

* get gaming working on Linux( good luck)

* get an angle grinder to bust open the safe

* drive to your friends house and get the backup physical keys

With these barriers, I almost never bust out the windows hard drive for gaming.

I do the same thing with beer.

This technique mostly works for me.

This is a psychological technique called "pre-committing".

The difference is I've had the chance to play with GPT-3 extensively and I've only got 2nd hand access to Dall-E 2.

GPT-3 amazes me and occasionally disappoints me. But it's still something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. I suppose I'm still putting GPT-2 and Dall-E 2 in the same ball park because they are both so far beyond what I thought would be possible from what are essentially brute force methods.
You're missing the group that's just there for the lulz. Unlike the haters, their enjoyment is only increased by the antics of the engaged folks.
Fine, then let's adopt a standard of announcing whether you're serious about your projects, and then other people know if they can rely on your library or not. Some kind of "verbal" promise of being proactive when catastrophe happens. That you'll personally won't bundle malware in your code, or your reputation will suffer.

I mean it. The open source world, especially the JS ecosystem, desperately needs something like this. And a monetary incentive isn't enough, unless it's significant, but no one will pay $500 a month per JS library they depend on.

A simple ".serious-project" committed to the project root would suffice.
Fully agreed. I would feel safe on most of the "green" streets on the map.
The intention was definitely not to state that overall Vancouver has a bad infrastructure - it's certainly better than average. But just to clarify that the amount of fully separated lanes is not that high.

Also it gets a bit worse in suburbs like North/West Van, New Westminster, etc.

Yeah, it's still impressive to be able to imitate those styles and add a blue cape that didn't exist in the movies, along with chihuahua eyes. It also appears to be higher definition than Detective Pikachu CG. I'm curious if you could do the same for all 150 original Pokemon, even those for which realistic CG representations don't exist. Would it be able to take the cartoon version of Farfetch'd or Psyduck or a more obscure one and achieve the same realism, without the reference from the deep dataset?

Sure is. There's only what, 13 or so in the world at that size? And Tesla bought most of them.
That's a problem common to all of medicine though. It's really hard to operate on the right abstraction level when your codebase was "written" by randomly flipping bits and killing all the programs that don't work.

Two airlines pilots failing to use the specific word "emergency" isn't a single point of failure.

I'd settle for ungimping the new messages badge, bringing back the older (more compact) tree widget (or at least making it easily styled), or at the very least fixing the whole compacting a folder makes it disappear until restart thing (especially since Thunderbird is now very aggressive about suggesting I compact my folders).

I upgraded from ~60 to 91 and it's been nothing but regressions. I couldn't possibly care any less about a chat client when the actual text editor still doesn't let you do something as basic as toggle word wrap. It's almost as if Mozilla's completely forgotten about core competencies.
I'm not an urbanist, but my feeling is that the size of the lots and the winding paths of suburbs make the paths from any house to any shop a lot longer overall, so you end up with the need to drive to a store, which leads to parking lots and being in a main road.

In a tight grid (like where I grew in Chile), a small store can survive off the foot traffic of a few square kilometer of houses, because they're more connected and just more fit in the space.

I tried installing git... it turns out that in Debian 3 git is the Gnu Interactive Tool, not a source code management program ;-)

So I downloaded the latest version of git source, using wget from

https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.9...

Then I found I needed zlib, from

https://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.12.tar.xz

And I also needed Tcl/Tk

https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.6.12-src.tar.gz

And I also needed autoconf

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.71.tar.gz

Autoconf needed a newer version of m4

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.19.tar.gz

m4 couldn't install... I'm not sure why... so I gave up at that point. 8(
This should be an add-on vs. being integrated in the app. Better still would be a wholly separate app. Thunderbird is for email.
Not a bad idea. I may see if that makes Rust more palatable.
In theory. Has that actually played out in reality yet? Teslas aren't exactly the pinnacle of reliability, and other EVs are produced in low enough volumes that it may be difficult to draw real comparisons yet.

Also, most of the parts of a car that wear out are shared between EV and ICE. Modern ICE drivetrains rarely break and routinely last the lifetime of the car.
If you have all the cash you need and a bare lot in Vancouver with services set up, you're still two years away from getting shovels in the ground. The permitting is straight out of a Joseph Heller novel.
It's not, though. It's a new driver that contains at least some code whose copyright is from the early 90s, and it also contains a bunch of references to modern desktop GPUs as well. It seems more like it's code from Nvidia's own driver than the existing Tegra driver since the code base changed so much.
Correction: no one should have been trusting it for years already. There's very obvious supply-chain vulnerabilities in pretty much all open source developer repositories. And that's by design: npm, pypi, rubygems, cpan etc are developer resources. Nobody should have been deploying them unseen to production. Ever.

If you want trust, use a (Linux) distribution as intermediary.
