And the DALLE architecture can also handle masking where you initialize only part of the latent space with noise and initialize other parts with a starting image. The video on their website shows examples of that to replace a pet on a chair.
This is the real reason they received so few donations. I've only ever donated to them through Brave's Attention Tokens [1], so I never realized they use BitPay, but it really is intrusive.

I do often share this sentiment, even if I’m not in agreement with your tone. But I’m curious —

> Specific qualia have a higher cortical resonance, due to overarching reinforcement over time, and they are picked out.
> The more a single stream of information is focused on, the greater degree of resonance that may occur with less endowed qualia (slow down, notice more shit due to neuro-satiation).

How did you come upon these conclusions, or this framing? I’m surprised, because what you’re saying meshes well with some details of a model for the neurophysiological basis of conscious experience I’ve been working on… and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else point out these exact connections before.

For all I know this could be general knowledge in some community; or something believed widely at one time, now discredited. I’m operating in a vacuum and have been putting things together from what to me appear to be first principles. I might be reconstructing common knowledge, or just unknowingly restating things I’ve unconsciously absorbed in the past… The potential for which bothers me now that I’m seeing your comment.

Where’s your perspective coming from? :) Pointers to your sources would be much appreciated.
The shell doesn't assume a particular one, but if it's in a directory where a supported one is present, then it enables those extras.
Did you see the results? And the ones from other models like Midjourney? Many of these images are not just "passable composites" but can easily trick you as creations by human artists of high caliber. And this is only the beginning. Human artists also mine the past of the collective eons of human imagination, unconsciously. We are in many ways products of the past influencing us from the time we are born. GPT-3, DALLE-2 and the likes are not only a marvelous and almost magical novel technique, but they also have very deep philosophical implications about what we are and what is the thing we call "culture" and "language".
I don't know how you turned a classic ARM vendor problem into an anti Linux rant. If it weren't for the GPL you would just get a binary blob for a proprietary Linux fork and then you would have to reverse engineer the undocumented features from raw machine code.
What's the point? No link to more detailed documentation that might explain why I would want to use this compared to the languages it says it took inspiration from.
And by definition these days, almost every exploit is remotely exploitable under the right conditions. We put everything in front of a network gateway nowadays.
You skipped a step. They actively contributed to mercurial before the full fork.
I feel its a cycle ... the absence of unions creates problems, people unionize .... having unions creates problems .... unions are disbanded ... rinse and repeat.

On a general note ... life in general seems cyclical.
I know, but just thinking though what you're doing and building a program for right now, rather than building for a future that may never happen is probably going to deliver more success.
I like constructor based dependency injection personally. It's simple and I don't really see a stack of value obsessing about the possibility of code reuse.
The ideology of people not needing a central government's permission to privately interact?

What I would concede is that it does challenge the dominant ideology of the establishment.

As this former Federal Reserve economist describes, the Federal Reserve system is extremely centralized:

https://twitter.com/gordonliao/status/1484605701435523072?s=...

This is just one aspect of centralized economic control cryptocurrency threatens to upend.

Centralization will inevitably engender rent-seeking, so the dominant ideological framework being one that glorifies that centralized gatekeeping, and villifies a free market, is entirely predictable.

I don't really like/get NFTs either but the artists are legitimate - as is Deekaykwon, who is very active on Twitter. Not a scam.
Why can't they just do like many other parts of the world and lay fiber alongside underground power cables? Fiber and electric cables mix up well because they don't interfere with each other.

But critics should be experts in the field (of movies), and at the very least have seen it all. Therefore they can commentate on what's been done before and what is actually new.

> Critics are not qualified to tell me what I should watch towards developing my own character.

Well yes since everyone is different critics can never satisfy that for everyone.
But you don't argue that users have a choice to not pay attention to it, you want the platform to decide what people can pay attention to. This is a core point of the criticism the author wrote about.

It is the other way around, you create the strawman with nazis, flat earthers or people advocating pedophilia and equate them with people concerned about freedom of speech. Pretty cheap to be honest.
> To give a super simple example: if in Haskell you see a function with type 'a -> a', you know that it can only be the identify function, because it's generic over 'a', so the code can't do anything specific.

So I can't have any conditionals or pattern matching based on a parameter's type, or provide default implementations of any functions?
Just to react to:

>Wait, I thought git hooks aren't pulled from remote.

You are correct. They are not. Other tools may auto-install them (I hate it), but git does not ever.
Good tips. Small correction: `&` only filters by the most recent pattern.

So… use generics the same way they’re used in other languages? I’m trying so hard to watch this evolution in Go with an assumption there’s careful consideration of something other languages have gotten wrong and it seems like the whole result is… use generics within the language constraints in ways that aren’t problematic. I mean, Go already isn’t TypeScript (which does this great despite complaints). Go on, Go folks. Use generics. If you’re using them wrong you’re gonna get much more direct criticism than general guidelines to use the platform.

> Even with the state of today's technology, I'd trust a driverless car more than I'd trust a new teen driver.

No way. Yes, the driver education in the USA is appalling. It should be much more thorough and cover a lot more ground, particularly emergency manouvers and car control.

Nonetheless, a human driver has self-preservation instincts which are very deeply hardwired into the brain. Software has nothing like it, if it has a bug it will crash and take out whatever and whoever is in the way since it doesn't have, can't have, any emotion or self-preservation.
> ...vested interest in it succeeding. That has led to a lot of people who have annoyingly strong opinions about it.

Cryptobro-splainer here. Having been involved from the beginning, I can tell you that detractors (especially vocal ones) are far more invested than proponents. Imagine declaring bitcoin dead in 2014, and then again the next year, and then the next... and while this is going on you can't help but calculate how much potential profit your mistake has cost you. You are also going to be struggling with envy, and your offended sense of justice. What would such an experience do to a person? Well, it makes them very upset - and desperate for something that would shield their ego. The whole environmental impact cover is a perfect example: the papers people point to are always poorly executed, using outdated data and poorly justified guestimation... always without acknowledging the most important part - "relative to what?" But that isn't really the point, the point is to provide a moral justification for the costly shortsighted position.
>So it must be purged from everywhere.

Yes.
The reason why I'm mainly excited about .avif is that it'll run on the same hardware that decodes .av1 files. Means encoders will very easily be hardware accelerated - great for services or bulk encoding projects.

That’s where you should have been concerned. Just typing a bare return will run some arbitrary code, as you, wherever you might be in the filesystem. If all of that isn’t under your control, someone can do anything to you.

> their environmental impact which is not relevant to most crypto currencies.

It's very relevant to "most" cryptocurrencies by value, though - Bitcoin and Ethereum are still PoW, and these two make up most of the market anyway, especially when including other coins based on their chains, like Tether and USDC.

What's up with the WebP versions being significantly more saturated?
Think from a musicians perspective though. Real artists making real music lose out. Someone is looking for music in your genre, and Spotify just serves them their own stock music so they don't have to pay you for your music.
unions are not a panacea ... Where I am from, in some of the states, all manufacturing had to move out because unions kept going on strikes and lockouts. So its not only American unions that are bad, there are bad unions everywhere.

Go is only allowed to move variables if it knows there are not pointers to them, so only the compiler can take this decision. The Go runtime is very much not allowed to move variables.

Great information & a good summary, thank you! If I’m looking to get more in-depth with the known mechanisms of locus coeruleus and episodic memory, would you be able to recommend any sources of yours?

To try and tickle your interest, here’s why I’m looking into it: I have no episodic memory. I have aphantasia. I have hypotheses for explanations that I’m looking to correlate with different pieces of research, and locus coeruleus interactions is one area I have yet to look sufficiently deeply into.

How do you define unprivileged?
Yes you are right! I always mix charity and non profit. But yeah, Wikimedia became a huge organization with an annual budget of 150M$ (of which a lot goes to completely unrelated pet projects), so it is a non profit only in a technical sense as you said.

But it still feels the need to plead (or almost beg) for 3-5$ donations yearly with huge call to action banners on every wiki page. Which is okay, I get that they need funds. But to then throw away 140 000$ worth of donations on a whim completely contradicts the "every dollar counts, please help" message of their fundraising banners.
I’m interested to know what sort of insights you get from creating a language like this.
Not a fan of NFTs either but this is the ideal use for the medium, right? It's like the fine art market but for digital assets, except it's better than the fine art market because we all get to enjoy the art just as much as the person who paid to own it.

The artist sold their work. You could argue that the concept of digital "ownership" is in itself a scam, but that's up to the buyer to decide. It's not like there's a call to action that you can't be e-cool unless you buy a NFT.
Technically, States maintain the right to control customs and quarantine procedures on all trade coming across their borders.

The Feds are literally only there for CBP/immigration/Customs. Federal regulations only set the minimum level of friction for entry. States are technically free to increase it. In fact, this is even more humorous, because it isn't even "interstate" commerce til the second state depending on your level of literal interpretation you apply.

Not that I agree with it, but I'd wager there is nothing unconstitutional here. State border crossings are well established delegated powers to the State.

The thing about c:\windows\temp is you can’t modify another user’s files but you can create your own.

It’s actually a _really_ common vector to exploit poorly written installers by dropping your own file (like a malicious dll or exe) into that directory as a low rights user in the hope that the high rights installer process will then load that code. That’s presumably what’s happening in this case.
I agree with the sentiment about NFT's, but not because of the concept, but the current day implementations. NFT's on blockchains that aren't decentralized or permissionless are a farce. I do see a future for provable ownership of digitally native art or in-game objects on Bitcoin.
I can give you my perspective on it as someone who went the dev -> architect/team lead -> university level education in management -> stress -> adult ADHD diagnosis -> dev route and the extremely short answer is that you do not move into management it you want to code.

What you need to do is to figure out not only what you want to do, but what you like to so. I excelled at management, I enjoyed being involved in significantly more important projects and seeing how the world works form the perspective of really high level enterprise management on the national scale of the public sector while being there as what is essentially a specialist advisory role. I enjoyed working with people and helping them find their motivation and grow, and I never got put down by the hard decisions, but as it turned out, what I’m actually build for is solving problems. It did turn out that I had undiagnosed ADHD and what some people call “flow” I call “hyperfocus”, what some people call “boring” I call “painful” and what some people call organisational politics I call hell. Now all of this wasn’t triggered until I had my first child, because it wasn’t until I had what was essentially 3 full time jobs (1 added for ADHD energy expenditures) that I couldn’t keep up, but when that happened it fairly quickly became apparent that I could never be a manager and a father of small children at the same time, and then what do you do? Well, one of my friends mentioned his company was looking for a developer, and knowing the CTO I reached out and got myself hired as a developer. In the past five months I’ve build some really amazing things, I’ve read manuals on how solar inventors work and setup data collection and distribution for our partners. I’ve build a typescript node package for generic Odata APIs and worked on cash flow predictions and I’ve had such a good time doing it that I’ve gone from part to full time (in a healthy way), something my leading psychiatrist thought would take five years.

Depending on your area of the world it’s very likely that you can’t make the same career out of programming that you can out of management, but there is currently a bigger demand for talented programmers than talented managers in a lot of places. So it’s certainly possibly to keep being a programmer if that’s your jam. You can also move into different forms of Enterprise Architecture and still do some amount of coding if the advisory specialist role appeals to you.

If you want to manage then I encourage you to do so, and go at it wholeheartedly. Which means cutting down on coding to the point where you no longer do any. You can still do it as a hobby, but not professionally. If you want to develop then I suggest you use your experience to find your way into places that are great to work.

The people rating movies on IMDB are not average audience members though. They are movie geeks and enthusiasts. But compared to professional critics, there is a significant difference because they still pre-select moves to watch based what they think they will enjoy. A movie enthusiast might have seen all science-fiction movies in existence but never a french new-wave movie. The professional critic on the other hand will watch a broader range of different movies, and probably a lot more older movies.

Younger people goes a lot more to the movies, so the average critic will probably be notably older than then average movie audience member.

Critics tend to be negative towards remakes because "this is unnecessary, the original was better". But most in the audience haven't seen the original so it doesn't matter to them.

Critics tend to hate formulaic and derivative movies, but for the audience it is not that bad, they haven't seen the formula enough time to get bored by it. Fans loved The Force Awakens because it was exactly the same formula as the original Star Wars. Critics were less enthusiastic.

Critics tend to value originality more than the average audience. Hollywood have always been formulaic and rehashed old ideas, but they have still been able to make great movies. But the current movies relies on franchises to a larger extent, and the franchises put hard constraints on the amount of originality and character development which can be allowed.
I really like that. Not just for testing - it makes the libraries much more flexible. But to make it a bit less burdensome for the most common usage patterns I like to relax it a bit with the possibility of building default object params in __init__.

> I find it annoying that all cryptocurrencies would found guilty-by-association when it is well known that not all cryptocurrencies damage to the environment.

If you read the responses in support of the proposal, you can clearly see that the majority of them are citing 'Environmental reasons and concerns' which that even has already been refuted to death.

Mozilla seems to have made the sensible decision to not allow PoW cryptocurrencies and to allow only eco-friendly cryptocurrencies. It is the mining that is doing the damage to the environment which that is the problem.

Guilt-by-association works all the time on people who want a blanket ban on anything they don't like, especially when there are bad eggs spoiling the bunch.
That's interesting you were running at such a low bit-rate.

In 1999 I was the 2nd employee at what became one of the world's biggest music streaming services. I was working from home as we didn't have offices yet, and my broadband got cut off because I hadn't been paid yet and I was broke. I ended up having to re-encode the entire music catalog at 8000bps so I could stream it all over my 9600bps cell connection via the serial port of my Nokia 9000, when I was testing the system.
