> I’d see it as the same situation as Camera makers when digital was coming at the horizon. They only needed to be there when the tech is ready, and had no need to bet the farm on making it a reality sooner than necessary

I'm not so sure this was really true. For example when the mirrorless transition happened Sony had basically bet the farm on making it a reality and as a result they dominate the mirrorless space in marketshare. If a new product is sufficiently better than existing ones then it can overcome the capital advantages of existing players. Especially with modern day VC funds pumping billions into high growth startups.

I also think you have to consider that very few people in legacy companies have cutting edge expertise. Walmart is not going to have the calibre of robotics, AI, or engineering personnel that Amazon does.
Sure, but the commonality is both need roads and at some point they'll be an interaction between cars and buses.

If the situation is crappy for cars, it will impact the buses at some point.

There's nothing special about the nozzle; it's just another point. The nozzle isn't the center. But if you can't get past that, imagine a balloon without a nozzle, with a canister of compressed gas inside, and the compressed gas is leaking out of the canister.
> 2. Cool but similar to the artistic style of bios near it in the thread, whereas I wanted to keep it diverse (surreal followed by literal, oil followed by sharp lines etc) so it's more fun to scroll through

Has anyone compiled a list of the styles and artists Dall-E "knows"? How niche does it get? Decorative Initial Caps? Florid Victorian Ornaments? Googie Architecture? SFF artists like Michael Whelan, Vincent Di Fate, Jeffrey Catherine Jones, or Jim Burns? Banksy? Sculptors like Bathsheba Grossman or Markus Pierson? Early animation artists like Ub Iwerks or E. C. Segar?

I was experimenting with one of the VQGAN+Clip notebooks a while ago, and it did pretty well with some styles, but not so much with "Heroic Realism" or "Soviet Propaganda Poster" or "Sheppard Fairey", and even worse when I was trying to get it to draw in that style an object that could be construed as implying a style itself like "retro robot" or "50s raygun" (eg. "A retro robot drawn in a heroic realism style" or "A cubist painting of a steampunk pistol"). Is that kind of dissonance a problem for Dall-E?
Funny how AirFoil doesn’t have this problem.
These are so fucking good-looking. Can't believe it.
A suburb can be significantly denser than another, even just allowing duplexes or front/back lots can double or more the carrying capacity of a suburb.
Thanks! Is there a specific series in there that you recommend? It looks like a huge archive to go through, and clicking around it seems like many of them are broken.
Yea,that would be a weakness of the approach for sure.

I agree.

A distinction needs to be drawn between understanding an action and consequences/blame.
You can understand why someone does something but still blame them for making the choice. Knowledge doesn’t obviate responsibility.

Actually funny you should mention that because one of them actually is not a taxpayer in the municipality that she sued (and lost). So no, they are not all taxpayers, but some are, it is true.

Yes, of course they have this right, I don't dispute that. But when a single case like this eats up literally 10% of a small town's yearly budget, and the same small group of people repeatedly behave in this way, I also have the right to call them assholes.
As soon as you can imagine and reason about infinity, you might be able to reason about our universe. “Center” makes sense for most bounded things but might be completely meaningless in an unbounded universe.

Example: the number line. You might be tempted to say 0 is at the center but… there are an infinite number of things on either side of any number you choose.

I don't know about newlib's library or code structure, but I've got a project I'm working on where I don't want a whole libc, but it's pretty easy to pull in bits and pieces of the FreeBSD libc; when I come across something else I need, I just add the C file it's in to my Makefile and that's usually enough. For the things that are self-contained, I don't need to build the environment libc expects, and if I try to include something that's not self-contained, the linker will yell about the missing symbols.

Threads like this are why I love HN.
To be fair you can do this in a Typed Lisp! But yeah this is a really nice way to develop
It's not that one or the other is exclusively controlling the plane. Either (or both) can grab the controls. It's kind of a subtle distinction, but the idea is you don't want the pilot's yoke or stick to ever be physically disengaged from the plane, because that's a mechanism that could fail, leaving the plane uncontrollable by anything. Similar with cruise control on a car: the accelerator physically moves when the computer engages, because it's actually pushing the accelerator. That's what you want, rather than the human needing to suddenly speed up and finding the pedal does nothing when pressed.

And once you accept that, then it's natural that there should be some play before one system disengages to favor the other. You don't want a sneeze to disable your autopilot.

Agreed, I suppose that Ukraine constantly asking for arms and support is all propaganda by NATO. Or the fact we are holding back certains arms/support that Ukraine would love to have (no fly zone anyone? MiGs based in Poland?). Of course the West was 100% behind the overthrow of corrupt, vain, despot puppet Yanukovych. Ukraine totally wants to be a puppet state like Belarus, and the Baltics joining NATO is a big conspiracy against Moscow.

The West/NATO would of course like a buffer state with Russia. Even better, a buffer state aligned with the West and not aligned with Russia. Even better, one that hates Russia and has trained up a million man army to resist the Russian invasion and then represents a credible threat to a weakened Putin.

Ukraine has long been trod over by large invading and counterinvading armies since the Tatar/Mongols, Napoleon, Hitler, etc. It's a country with a tragic history of conquest and manipulation. I root for Ukraine because I think modern weaponry and a modern state would allow this country to stand up for itself, and it is.

Is this a serious comment?

Shipping native platform binaries is the only reliable way to ship high quality software. Specially in 2022 with all the garbage floating around in virtual machines and "electron" bloatware.
Those are stated, not choices made. Since we know how much people ACTUALLY bid, we know those statements are inaccurate.
They are generated from e.g. "happy sisyphus". My understanding is there are separate additional controls for style (though it's flexible enough you could give hints in the text, too, which is I gather where the "expressive" word fits in).
There is market, I agree, but claiming "most powerful" in relation to embeddings and text generation is hard to believe. Just last week Google published PaLM, a 530B weights LM which seems to top GPT-3.

Delete zoning code. It shouldn’t have been legal in the first place - the intent has always been keeping minorities out of neighborhoods.
This just kicks the can down the road in terms of who should set the goals. This would not work unless it includes some mechanism to remove bad goals.
There are also lots of cases where blatantly illegal activity is gotten away with right out in the open because law enforcement don't even know to look, or how to look. Ponzi schemes, pump and dump shitcoins, fake bids on nfts, and so on. We don't need new laws, we need educated enforcement. If I steal a million dollar painting, a million dollar lottery ticket, a million dollars cash, or a million dollars in bitcoin, the laws are there to protect the victim and require repayment and jail time and so on.

NFTs have some particularly egregious examples of scams and schemes by A-list famous people, and nothing gets done because everyone involved in the transactions are frothing at the mouth crazy over "web 3, omg."

As far as smart contracts go, basic control logic has to be built and a library of modules made available and a system cultivated by which users and developers can test and validate everything. Reversible transactions and failsafe mechanisms have to be the foundation of any investment so that when errors inevitably occur, someone in charge can unfuck things. A board of directors could be given individual keys in a multi-signature scheme, or so on.

Once or twice a month we're seeing crypto thefts in the 7+ figures and it's always because of obscure flaws in the code that could be avoided by developing on tested, verifiable, and validated code. That means a level of rigor only currently seen in international banking, nasa missions, and so on.

The big problem with crypto investing right now is "I wrote this smart contract last weekend at a hackathon, let's invest millions of dollars!"

Decentralization doesn't mean everything has to or should be decentralized - sometimes its enough that the overarching system is not under the thumb of an arbitrary authority. Centralized entities within the bitcoin or ethereun ecosystem will be the first crypto banks and exchanges, and you'll eventually be able to code legal requirements directly into contracts (and vice versa, once the ruling class starts to include people educated in cryptocurrency.)

TS is about readability and maintainability of code at scale. Having types helps immensely in understanding a new codebase and working in a large codebase with many other people.
At least in gay culture, power bottom has a pretty specific meaning. I imagine "for the people" is referencing socialist leanings.

Admittedly, it could mean many things. But it pushes my mind towards fully automated gay space communism.
Fools errands unless you also include some mechanism for error correction. Ultimately any of these principles will be proven wrong in the long term.

I did.

Firstly, in general I made a slightly different choice from the author of the FA in that from an early age I would actively and very obviously lie to my child sometimes. I wanted them to be able to tell when someone was lieing and know that people lie all the time and you need to not just trust people but check things and think for yourself. I started with very exaggerated and obvious lies and moved on to more subtle things. I made it pretty obvious it was a game. Think of Calvin's dad explaning science in "Calvin and Hobbes".

Seperately I think it's really important to be serious and honest to your child when they ask you serious and honest questions. So for example, they came to me one day and said "Tell me the truth, does Santa Claus exist?" and I said "Do you really want me to tell you?" and they said "yes". So I told the truth.

You need to be really straightforward with children from a really young age including about topics you think they may not understand yet. For example I've seen in some of the sibling comments people talking about difficulties introducing children to topics around sex etc. I _guarantee_ if you take your child to a farm or zoo or even just a walk in the park and see dogs "playing" these topics will come up. You have to pick an angle that works for you but be straightforward.

In the mid-late 90s every store started adding .COM to its official company name, and then putting up new signs on their stores.

It looked horribly tacky and a few years later everyone quietly disappeared the TLDs.
Interesting thoughts. I sincerely hope that we can both be craftsmen and businessmen at the same time. It boils down to the ability of lowering our standards and focusing on the right things at the right time. Because if the business doesn't take off, there's just no point. But as craftsmen, once it does we definitely need to circle back and make things better over time. And I think that the "over time" part is key.

I’m not sure what point you were trying to make. I think you accidentally made the opposite point. Indeed your definition would imply that all modern ciphers are not Brazzy-secure. I’m not sure why this matters to you.

No one is saying that the fact that OTP cipher is not CCA secure is practically relevant.

But the fact of the matter is that a cryptosystem being CCA secure is defined as we discussed and the OTP cipher does not meet the requirements.
By default I use lynx, which is a bit better than w3m with some content (might be my config), otherwise I have a keystroke to load the message in firefox, but with newsletter adding "view in browser button" more and more, I nearly never use it.
Indeed, we don't find enough of those, so I wanted one more story to be out there. It was also a good exercise to take the time to look back and clearly point out the mistakes.

I don't think it's meant to work from a mobile device (iPad with keyboard and mouse is probably very acceptable) but pushing the period key on your keyboard while viewing a GitHub.com repo will give you a fully client-side vscode editor in the browser.
Apparently they have an implementation making GitHub Actions one of the parties that's providing results to compare. I don't know how novel that is, but it seems useful?
I bought a new golf 7 1.4 built in Germany and had to later spend $3k redoing the engine for what seems to be a known fault but never got a recall here. It cost me more than all the fuel savings I got from driving it. Just an anecdote but I’d rather have gappy door panels.

I had the service and maintenance plan, treated it like a baby. Happened just outside of the plan. Trust gone.

Ethereum isn’t “ready”, so obviously they need to fairly regularly perform hard forks in order to implement new features.

But I suppose you aren’t actually talking about that, but are referring to hard forks to roll back smart contract hacks. If so, it’s only happened once. In 2016. (And never gonna happen again)

The desktop computer was a much more mature piece of tech by 2011.

If you were in 2011 you couldn’t really say the same about a desktop computer from 2000. You’d be comparing a 2/4/6/8 core 64-bit processor to a NetBurst Pentium 4.

I think it’s reasonable that relatively young phones aren’t usable at this point in time. But maybe in 2030 I might expect to be able to keep using a phone from 2020, assuming I’ve replaced the battery.
Why? The metrics here does not look that great when comparing to adyen, PayPal, or square.
The self-taught developers of today are a far, far cry from the self-taught developers of yesteryear.

Self-taught developers were once ardent hobbyists hailing from an era before (we had quite this much) aggressive commercialization of the internet. They found it fun to make computers blink pretty colors.

Self-taught developers today heard you could make a quick buck from the profession.

There’s also retire early as an option. I’m not good enough or willing to put in the effort to get good enough to get into meta, but if I was presented the option of working somewhere kinda shitty but I could retire in 5 years vs working somewhere that was decent but I won’t retire for 30 years, it’s an easy pick.

I can’t really find somewhere where I can work on somewhere I love because the Vern diagrams of jobs I would love to do, and jobs where I am an employee, are completely separate circles
This looks awesome. I have been playing with WASM and rust, trying to get rusqlite to work with persistence, among other things.

I notice that you also came to the conclusion that having all io async is not the way to go for rust.

How do you wrap the async js io apis so they can be used in sync rust? I have seen different approaches for this: 1. an additional service worker / thread and atomics. 2. rewrite the entire WASM in some sort of continuation passing style.

Humans exhale all kinds of stuff aside from just CO2, including moisture and other metabolic byproducts depending on what you’re eating. Probably some bacterial metabolic products from our mouths too.

I guess I’m less into the semantic difference between “smell” and “detect” and more whether it’s the CO2 they’re following or something else we exhale regularly.
I was about to add this quotation.

In summary, propaganda is about conditioning the proletariat.
I thought some of the opacity of the CPI process was meant to stop people (outside the government, at least) from being able to manipulate it. It's plausible to worry that people inside the government will be more able to manipulate it as a result, but I wonder how mindful the developers of this new index have been of Goodhart's Law.

Apparently there's some incentive to manipulate inflation statistics not only for political reasons (like to convince people that a particular government is doing a good or bad job, or that a particular economy is strong or weak) but also for financial reasons (if things have been indexed to that measurement through policies, laws, or contracts, or perhaps some financial instruments that take account of them in a way that represents a bet on the inflation rate).

So, if they're transparent enough about where they get the prices that feed this index, perhaps someone could try to manipulate those prices at particular moments in order to influence where the index goes.

(I do like the idea of more objective and independent inflation measurements.)

Are the developers (and Balaji Srinivasan) really literally worried about someone trying to censor their index? Is there any case in the U.S. where people have been prevented from gathering and reporting on price data? I do think that happens or has happened in a number of countries -- I seem to remember that the Argentine government has been especially sensitive about economic data -- but is it credible that this will spread elsewhere, and not be treated as a clear-cut free expression idea?
This looks amazing but I'd appreciate an autoplay button or free walk + look, the scrollwheel monorail handcranking makes the exploration rather frustrating.
Until you have the option to not work at all, working might not be slavery but it’s definitely farther down the spectrum towards it than say, a retirees choices for their life. Getting financially independent removes the coercion that comes with all wage based work
That's point number two in the disadvantages:

Somewhat strange for plex to ship with that by default given how many people generally have network shares for such things.
