USDS salaries are even more absurd relative to the responsibility of the positions. Think 75%+ compensation cut even at the top of the GS scale for the calibre of people they are looking for; and the primary benefits of a Federal job like a guaranteed pension and job security don't apply in a meaningful way.

Hi HN! I've been tinkering with this mini-game / horror experience for a while. I hope it creeps you out!

I used to live in a canadian suburb and the reasons I heard the most often to opposecommercial development near their houses were that they didn't want additional traffic, loud trucks making late night deliveries or people parking on their street. Basically making it impossible to rezone residential or vacant lots as commerces.

> increase demand for art

Good point. Custom art used to be the realm of only royalty, and later only the rich, but soon anybody will be able to afford the fifty cents or whatever it is of computing power that it takes to execute their vague artistic instructions.
Cool, I'm really interested in that paper, ty.
The existence of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Taler seems to indicate that you don't need a blockchain to implement anonymous payments. So that might not be the best example.

Full decentralization (more exactly, to the extent of the mining power centralization) and full censorship resistance (if I have the private key and some Internet access, game theory says I'll be able to send cryptocurrencies) might require blockchains such as Bitcoin. But it's unclear whether these benefit societies at all once you take the drawbacks into account.

No, sorry, not gonna fly with me "casual transphobia". The whole declaring your pronouns everywhere is a societal compliance test. It's a way for progressives to assert control over you and force you to adhere to whatever bs of the day they came up with. I spent my entire life without having pronouns next to my name because its obvious I am a man and I'm not to start declaring them now because a bunch of blue checkmark twitterazis say I have to.
I think there's a big range of possibilities there and they're not mutually exclusive.

There's the possibility that watching FOO directly encourages viewers to do FOO in real life. Like you said, this is the most fragile. I think clearly this is true in some cases -- most of us have seen a food commercial on TV and thought, "I could really go for that right now." I'm less convinced that it's true for something like pedophilia: the average person will be revolted by it, not encouraged, unless they already are into that kind of awful thing.

There's the possibility that watching FOO doesn't directly encourage viewers to do FOO, but serves to kind of normalize it. I think this happens a lot, but I think it takes a carefully crafted context and message.

There's the possibility that AI generated CP could actually helps children, by providing a safe outlet for pedophiles so that they wouldn't need to do heinous shit in real life. I recall reading studies that instances of (adult) rape in societies were inversely correlated with the availability of (adult) pornography, with a possible explanation being that porn provided a safe outlet for people who weren't getting the kind of sex they wanted.
> Right, but this usually turns into the argument that we shouldn't add new capacity because then it would be used, and that's such a staggeringly stupid argument that I cannot comprehend the confusion of ideas that would lead someone to embrace it.

The argument is "we should not add new road capacity to solve traffic problems because it will just create more traffic".

You're not solving anything by spending the money on road capacity. If you want to get rid of traffic you need to spend the money on alternatives that get people using roads less or more efficiently.
Is there any real way to be anonymous while using Bitcoin and actually exchanging it to fiat currency? Are there any exchanges that are not regulated and don't require any authentication e.g. an ATM that gives you cash for Bitcoin?
I'm very conflicted here, because on the one hand these are absolutely fantastic and that's really exciting, but on the other hand, some of these are of a level that I could genuinely call "art" and now I'm questioning everything.

Yes, it's possible to use Bazel w/ JS tooling. At Uber we run a 1000+ package monorepo w/ Bazel and Yarn. Someone else mentioned rules_nodejs if you want to go with the popular option that is more or less in line with the Bazel philosophy[0].

Yeah, I don't know why more people don't see it this way.

Everyone seems to agree that you shouldn't eagerly make extra mortgage payments to pay off your home loan ASAP. Because you can pay it off over 30 years and presumably make more $$ investing than whatever paltry interest rate you had on your home loan.

But the same people can't explain why it's a bad idea to take out a 2nd mortgage to invest in the market, or even secure a low-interest loan with your home as collateral. But isn't it exactly the same thing?

I used to get mosquito bites but I stopped getting them as an adult. I realized after a while that my skin stopped reacting to them even though the mosquitos were still biting me.

I recently managed to coax one into biting me to test my hypothesis. I felt it go into my skin and watched it suck for a bit, but it didn't get particularly engorged on it. No mark the next day. My son had a bitemark from a non-deliberate bite, though.

>The Russia puppet pseudo-states, created through force of Russian sponsored Nazi mercenaries like Wagner and Nazi militias like Sparta (which individually is much larger than Azov that Russia likes to talk about so much, which was part of the response against their Russia-instigated aggression)

Please provide some evidence that Wagner, the Russian military company similar to Blackwater, is a group of Nazis. As the documentary evidence for Right Sektor and the Azov Battalions being Nazi/Fascistic affiliated is already overwhelming, and far predates the recent invasion of Russian Forces, as documented by Vice News, and several other western media sources.

Would like to see some evidence of the same about Sparta too, if such a thing exists.
None of your comment addresses my actual question. Your first is a failed attempt at a gotcha, which I expected and specifically preempted by asking whether it was possible, not whether US actually had a democracy. Second is a piece of historical trivia, which is irrelevant to my question.

So, how is it? Is democracy only possible in heavily urbanized countries, so that the citizens never are in more than walking distance from a polling place? Or, hopefully, it is a more general political systems that can apply to more varied range of human societies?
Wow, okay. I'm kind of blown away at how authentic these paintings look. Even with a very conservative prediction of how these tools could evolve and improve over the years, the signal is strong that our relationship with the meaning of "art" itself will have a fundamental shift.

It might not reduce the number of artists, but it will surely change their composition (pun proudly intended). Only those flexible enough to adapt to the new landscape will be able to support themselves in the new AI art economy.

It wasn't possible before I not downloaded the vendor's app, setup WLAN, accepted the data "privacy" rules everything including accounts of services used will be sent to the vendor) and then setup the connections to every device in the app (not sure about the last step).

Nothing about any of this was described on the packaging or explained up front by the shop.

I do one of those:

- obtuse cookie consent, where it hides everything and does a redirect - I don't bother: I'll close the tab

- quite easy to see "I agree", no easy way to reject things - depending on my mood or how much I feel the need to get the thing I want from this particular site, in order of probability: click agree, close the tab, do not click anything (try to see around the popover or remove it via inspector), search for a way to reject

- easy to see a rejection button - click the button or close the tab if the popover seems too excessive anyway

The reason I agree to any tracking is my belief I'm pretty safe with using uBlock Origin on Firefox, clearing cookies somewhat regularly and using first party isolation option of Firefox, also I use Tab Containers for important stuff. Maybe it doesn't cover me fully. Most sites I visit daily I could certainly do without.
They just chose a misleading name in the first place. It's pretty obvious that they couldn't properly pursue their core mission as a purely open research organization. The desired end result is too valuable.

And if they end up getting close to what they're really after, it's really undesirable to get an arms race where solely OpenAI's contributions are known to everyone.
No, the original code supports Alpha, so it should be 64bit clean. It's got loads of other issues, though. Not respecting sequence points seems to be the most obvious.

Uhh…this comes from an insanely programmer-biased perspective.

I imagine you’ve probably been a software dev for a long time - and come from a history of game dev?

(Ha - yeah - you did. I looked you up, you worked on ‘Bioshock’? It is to my credit that I could figure that out before I looked it up, though.)

You see - unlike the ‘00’s - Unity, and even recent UDK updates, etc - have created a fairy “plug and play” sense of game development that was a fever dream in the ‘90’s, and even most of the ‘00’s.

The tech has changed - the approach has changed, massively.

I mean - hell - even 10 years ago cross-platform shit was a nightmare compared to today. It’s because a lot of that underlying code has been taken care of for 90% of average developers. Only AAA developers need worry about low-level shit.

We are very much living in a design-first era. Which is - frankly - awesome. But it’s so easy to forget that or not see that as primarily a developer.
This is a great idea! Around 13 years ago I played this web-based game called Broken Picture Telephone (the site seems to be back, but it was shut down for a long time). It had a very similar concept to Telestrations. A user would start with a phrase or description, the next user would draw what was written, and the next would describe it. Repeat until n rounds are complete. At the end, everyone can see how the game evolved.

I ended up writing my own after it first shut down and even though the community was small, it was incredibly fun. Doing this with Dall-E 2 sounds like a fun project to bring back some nostalgia.

The more you add road capacity, the less 'demand is induced', because there's limited amount of people. In other words, at some point the traffic problem is solved by adding more roads.

It's another question if it makes sense to add that amount of road. It probably depends on the particular case.
Seems like a good case for a class action suit. Why hasn't this happened yet?

A "black hat server"?
If you have file A and a make a snapshot of it, let's call it A@2022-04-01-12:00, you have now two different files pointing at the same blocks.

If you write to one of the blocks of A you will not overwrite any data of A@2022-04-01-12:00 because the new data will be saved to a different block. I would call that copy on write.

I admit that the description is not perfect because it doesn't always apply (like in the example you make), but I couldn't come up with a more appropriate description and for the discussion at hand I thought it was quite apt.

For OpenAI to survive, it has to be closed source.

For anyone interested in learning more about partial reprogramming, I recently wrote a review article on the current state of the art: https://www.adanguyenx.com/blog/partial-reprogramming

In short, we're still far away from using it in humans (10+ years). Currently, all companies working on this are in pre-clinical stage, with turn.bio as the closest, expecting to go into clinical trials late this year.

This tech is exciting but there are still a lot of limitations:

- Risk of cancer: this technology is based on the work of Yamanaka in 2006, who discovered 4 factors that can turn any cells into pluripotent stem cells. The work in the OP article basically used the same 4 factors, but only partially, so that the cells became "younger" without losing their identities (i.e. turning into stem cells). This requires understanding the right dosage for every cell type so we don't go overboard and turn them into dedifferentiated cells which could lead to cancer

- Cell specificity, microenvironment, etc.: reprogramming is finicky and the right dosage is dependent on the cell type or the environment around the cells. This is important because you have to figure out the right dosage for each cell type so as to avoid cancer

- Delivery: it's easy to deliver gene therapy to skin cells on a dish, not so much to other cell types or organs in the bodies -- that's why we have not seen very impressive results when this is used on live normal mice
> An automatic truck doesn't go faster per mile.

Of course it would, if it doesn't have to stop for 8+ hours per day.

> If it were really valuable, they would pair people up in trucks and have them alternate shifts driving

You're ignoring a whole bunch of human factors (including cost vs speed trade-offs), but you'e right; some truckers do get paired up.
I agree with the parent. I love the game but the controls are not fun for me. I would do the following (for ME):

- arrow keys move the cursor

- the cursor is easier to see. Just a circle is probably better for me than the overlapping shadows

- shift + arrow does the move

- the cursor follows the moved element
If operating system vendors wanted to, they could deliver APIs that resemble Electron, but with better OS integration capabilities without the performance problems.

HN loves blaming companies like Slack for shipping “crappy bloated electron apps”, but what we should be doing is demanding more from Apple, Microsoft, and Google to ship a sane APIs to make this work. Blaming vendors is essentially victim shaming.

Sadly I know that’s a naive optimistic pipe-dream because these corps would lose power over their user base.

What? How are you going to charge back against someone you didn't actually deal with financially?

Your arguement is that Affirm should be able to clip the ticket and hold no responsibility for their client fufilling their duties?

Malcolm Gladwell may have overstated his theory, but askakorean is itself a biased source, and IMHO shouldn't be trusted too much. It is a fact that (1) Korean Air had a string of preventable accidents during that time, (2) pilot hierarchy in communication was believed to be a major factor that led to the Guam disaster, and (3) later Korean Air mandated everybody to speak English in the cockpit.

How much (3) contributed to the improved safety record is anyone's guess.
> We are working on this as we speak!

Perfect!

> However, it sounds like you like to see glob fan out of tasks.

Yes, the idea here being that I don't want to list all similar tasks (such as linting) explicitly in the turborepo config. Teams should be free to add any additional lint task if they think it's useful for them (and possibly only for them). Similar to Maven(Java) where additional goals can be bound to the standard lifecycle phases.
The why is because once you have a car, the marginal cost of using the car is only $0.40 to $0.60 per minute of travel. That means if you are running errands, it makes sense to shop at big box stores that can sell for 10%+ cheaper due to efficiencies of scale.

Hence Costco/Target/Walmart/Home Depot/Lowes/Best Buy/Staples/etc succeed over a small business that might be a walkable distance. You are already in the car going to and from work, what difference does a detour make.
