Although I don't think the majority of these companies will go on to make billions selling drugs, I think the past ten years of VC and pharma funding of basic life sciences researches is likely to pay off in many unexpected ways.

The field of molecular biology didn't exist before World War II; after, a number of funding managers at NIH recognized that there was an incipient science to augment biochemistry and other fields, and funded it through places like Rockefeller Institute (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25862750/).

The long term impact of these early scientists and funders who recognized the potential of MB has been enormous; it lead to the discovery of recombinant DNA, and many other important things which produced an explosion of research.

where I drive to work every day, there was only one biotech (Genentech) campus and now there are probably 20-30 different companies with enormous well-outfitted research labs all stuffed into one little corner of South San Francisco. "Overnight", biotech became a huge industry- overshadowed by the enormous tech industry- but in many ways, the "tech" part is ripe for disruption in ways that look just like the tech industry in 1997.

Either way, it will be interesting to see what is the state of the art 30-40 years from now, assuming the research infrastructure continues apace.
Now imagine if you can if the situation was reversed, where the AI was adding cyberpunk/oil/etc. to the front of the prompt and it was the human that was interpreting it and painting the many variations.

How many people would then be defending the AI, that actually it wasn't just the human, the AI was playing a critical role in the creative process, ne'er to be replaced? I venture zero people would say that.
Oh for sure! It just reminded me of exactly how the Locust’s legs are animated in MW5

I started as a dev in the 2010s at 32k/yr. My next job was with a cohort of 60 at 42k/yr, and roughly half of them didn’t have the personality type to negotiate pay raises or be mercenary if the company didn’t give them an increase.

I hate this about Vancouver and North America. Even if you are lucky enough to live near grocery store, the way the city is designed drains your soul as you walk. There are no beautiful buildings, wide sidewalks, or points of interest along the way. Just cars zooming by loudly, bumpy sidewalks or gravel, or large stretches of the back fences of single family homes.

> ... users could obtain points not just by purchasing them but also by uploading videos. ... The page also warned that uploaded videos would be checked for uniqueness; only new material would be accepted—a feature that, to the agents, seemed expressly designed to encourage more abuse of children.

FPV drones are incredibly loud and dissonant, especially in an enclosed space. You'd have to have a lot of very consistent and loud background noise for this to go unnoticed.
Context in mind, what jumps out to me is a remarkable compositional competence of the algorithm, even when given extremely vague prompts like "happy sisyphus". The images match the prompt remarkably well with a few notable exceptions like "cottagecore tech-adjacent young robert moses", where it seemed to have focused on "cottage" rather heavily, not understanding cottagecore as an aesthetic neologism, and "power bottom dad is for the people", which definitely got the "dad" part, but it looks like it still struggled to understand "power bottom" (perhaps the curation of training data may have contributed to this). Even if these were curated specifically to match the prompt, what the algorithm was able to do with profiles is amazing (especially bearing in mind that these profiles are meant to be evocative, intentionally idiosyncratic blendings of extremely complex, contextual terms that were written without visual representation in mind, even if they gesture at specific aesthetics)

Side note: what might make artists a bit relieved is the fact that artifacting is still pretty apparent even in the curated examples. Fine details or even whole figures sometime devolve into that scrambled topography familiar to AI art. Even in more compositionally competent artworks, the "brush strokes" frequently have identifiable blurs at the margins. Text also seems to be gibberish even if aesthetically coherent. Even still, these are all such minor issues that additional photoshop would be both easy and readily doable.

Overall, this is frankly stunning and I'm really excited to see what others come up with. I feel like it's language and composition ability definitely did not disappoint the hype of its press release.
Is there anything in the works to make this more feature fleshed like `nx` with plugins?

`nx` had alot of potential, but it falls really really short for non happy path projects when I tried integrating (this is as of 15 days ago) into a relatively simple monorepo. I really disagree with its plugin interface and the idea of separating your tests from your src folders (I don't want to litter a folder `e2e` every time I need to write some tests, just feels wrong. I also then have to publicly export certain things for testing if I'm doing it right)

In particular, I feel like using go templates to do something like `plop` does would be super nice.
I mean, what's the worst that can realistically happen? I assume the presses, for example, would completely ignore the drone. You might want to scrap that one part just in case but I doubt it'd damage the press.

The cost of a few spare drones is likely negligible compared to the overall production cost of the video.
Given that you don't like the policies of your elected officials, but you enjoy the higher quality of services you seem to be getting, and appear to be drawing a relationship between the two, how will you be voting next election?
There’s so many issues involved.

Beacon systems can be used (but might not work well in metal enclosures like in the video).

Just accurate trajectory following is very difficult in itself depending on the speed/accel/turning.

The cars in the video were moving and so the drone had to be time synced. Same with the stuff inside the factory.
Limo has the same thing. If you go to `ensnamehere.eth.limo`, the backend will look up `ensnamehere.eth` and look for a record holding an `IPFS` or `IPNS` address, fetch it, and serve it to you. I host my personal site this way [0], although the process of resolving an IPNS name and fetching data over IPFS is too slow to be usable (takes about 30 seconds for me).

There's not really any advantage to this, because you have to trust `eth.limo`, but ENS names are in theory technically superior to traditional domain names, so I'm excited about this development. For instance, in theory ENS names have no need for certificate authorities for instance, or centralized registrars that we have to socially pressure every few years not to sell .org to a private company or whatever.

It is great that you are trying to help but a customer support situation where there is no actual recourse but complaining on hacker news can't possibly scale and while functional orgs absolutely DO drop the ball sometimes they don't drop the ball repeatedly. From my experience something like this not getting escalated and then escalated again until somebody can handle it is that the system process is broken. In other words there is no sane universe where you learn about this problem on hacker news.

How do you plan to fix THAT.

This reads like a massive excusatio non petita.

I never accused anyone of being incompetent or careless (let alone "stuffy"), but I think it's very clear that the sector is often struggling under the weight of its own size. You just have to check newspapers for the continuous stream of news about missing books and other niche artefacts, from England to Italy or anywhere really. Most losses are discovered years or decades later, which suggests there are likely many more that are simply never detected. In some cases, like the Girolamini library in Napoli, employees set up whole operations that go on for months or years. And why wouldn't they? Salaries in the sector, as I'm sure you know, are rarely spectacular.

I agree that the causes of such state of things are typically related to lack of funding and interest from the public and civic leaders. That doesn't mean it's not a problem, because very clearly it is, or we wouldn't be here. The world of museums and libraries was effectively set up in the pre-modern era, to safeguard amounts of artefacts that used to be massively smaller; since then, it has not grown anywhere near linearly, while history continues to produce larger and larger amount of items to preserve. The challenge gets harder and harder, particularly for the thousands of small institutions scattered around provincial Europe. If even almighty Cambridge, backed by the wealthiest in the nation, can't keep their artefacts safe, what hope does Bolton have?

Which is why I simply expressed the hope that, at some point, the problem can be solved with an increased amount of technology, simply because human systems, even when populated by the best of the best, just tend to fail at scale.

> like a nice idea, but isn't something one simply does

Duh. I never said otherwise, I just speculated it could be part of the solution.

Probably because of your experience, you seem to have read in my comment some sort of attack or suggestion that museum people were dumb for not slapping rfids everywhere. That was not the case. I acknowledged a challenge and discussed a possible element of the solution. That's all.
I am really glad everyone walked away and thus I am allowed to focus on how much is pains me to see a 757 leave the skies. They are, IMHO, the best looking airliner out there.
> globalist propaganda

Using the term "globalist" undermines your arguments, the history of its usage is deeply tied to various conspiracy theories. It's polarizing, so the people you're pointing your comment to won't consider it serious because of it.

Computers make it technologically feasible to simplify things, but also to make them more complicated. Big organizations always inject as much complexity as possible into engineering projects.

NIMBYism. I would rather have 6x more houses that people can AFFORD to live than 1/6th the homes owned by the richest people in the city who _really love it._

You can design beautiful neighbourhoods that are much much denser than they are now.

Single family zoning should be abolished in this city if we have any intention of solving the housing crisis.

I think texture generation is ripe for disruption. Imagine a tool that could generate a set of tiling PBR textures based on a few input parameters. Or one where you define which areas of a UV map should be windows, doors, or walls, and it generates a set of texture variations. What used to take days or weeks could take seconds.

> a CEO may not necessarily be aware of everything going on

"Everything" in the micro sense, sure. "Everything" in the macro sense, well, that's literally the job description of CEO, so it sounds like you think the CEO does not deserve criticism. If customer service is not working to the benefit of customers, I'd say that's something a CEO should already be aware of and represents a lack in organizational awareness, which compromises executive duties.

Just because the job is hard doesn't mean we should give anyone a break. Assuming the role and responsibilities of CEO is completely voluntary.

I don't think anyone is assuming malice; intent has nothing to do with this. The outcome of each interaction is only what matters here.
Empathy is pretty important to me and as I understand it's the primary motivation of folks looking to shift communication in public code repositories towards more inclusive language, actually. It's remarkable that asking for that empathy is somehow a bridge too far and the onus to be empathetic and not 'push too hard' is on those looking to make life a bit friendlier towards gender minorities.

> The EQAO (in charge of creating the test) found through a literature review that "the fundamental goal of teacher licensure tests – to improve student learning – is often not met."

This is inaccurate. It’s never met. There are no known examples of teacher education improving their effectiveness. Education degrees have no effect on how god teachers are at their job.

> It's easier to pick a good teacher than to train one: Familiar and new results on the correlates of teacher effectiveness

> Neither holding a college major in education nor acquiring a master's degree is correlated with elementary and middle school teaching effectiveness, regardless of the university at which the degree was earned. Teachers generally do become more effective with a few years of teaching experience, but we also find evidence that teachers may become less effective with experience, particularly later in their careers.

Is something wrong with software engineering interviews that one could reasonably need to spend months prepping for interviews? Leetcode problems can be fun and interesting, but seldom represent problems and skills I employ daily as a more senior software engineer. Studying these problems won’t help me much at my current employer and likely wouldn’t after I passed the interview gauntlet at another firm.
Unfortunately, that's kind of often the case. If you have access to millions in capital for a home early enough in life where banks will give you the mortage, you're probably coming from intense wealth already, you inherited it, or you were dealt a lucky hand early on by making a lot of cash and not losing the job for the first decade of your adult life.

That's not as true for smaller properties

What are you planning to do with all that financial independence?

If the answer is, "Live a meaningful and satisfying life." then... some people seek out work that gives them some of that while they are earning money.

Obviously, the idea that work can provide all of the meaning in your life is a toxic meme that leads to people being exploited. But the idea that work should provide no meaning is equally toxic. You're going to spend most of your waking hours during the healthiest stretch of your life at work. That is way too much to sacrifice for a job that is soulless surrounded by people you care nothing for.

Meaning is king, everything else is window dressing; only meaning gives you a reason to get out of bed in the morning. The sooner you start finding avenues for that in your life, the sooner you'll realize you don't need to focus completely on some distant exit strategy like financial independence.
