My guess is that human creativity is mostly just technical skill + taste + random noise. DALL-E has the first one, and we could probably approximate the last one, so the middle is the only one that needs work. It feels like that's a similar issue to how GPT often ends up trailing off. Maybe some kind of improved attention would work? Or an improved version of the sampling trick?
I’d love an OS that didn’t even support those.

We joke, but actually the legacy team I took over a few years ago, used to do this (email each other stuff, and versioning/branching was basically copying folders around). I had to drag them kicking and screaming into git (and self-hosted gitlab - thanks gitlab; no, seriously, I do really appreciate it), and now they wonder how they ever survived.

Hmmm. git status seems like a simple read only command, but it can run a hook, which will change the result. So a default of no hooks might mean subtly or silently different, depending on who runs command, which can be really annoying kind of breakage to track down. "Why didn't the build start? Why wasn't the change noticed? I can see it." I can imagine wanting to avoid that scenario. Painted themselves into a bit of a corner I think. There's no such thing as a side effect free read only git repo.

(A better fix would be to allow the command if there's no hooks, which does seem feasible, and only failing if it's actually asked to do something dangerous.)
Gilbert or Norm on the Stern show with Artie was always side-splitting. Sad that we've lost them both and Stern is now a shadow of his former self.

macOS equivalent of locate: mdfind. This actually uses Spotlight, so it can search for files by content as well as by name.

# search by content:
$ mdfind some_string

# search by name:
$ mdfind -name my_file.txt

Both commands return a list of files matching the query.

This is bullshit. I mean, ok, you are concerned about somebody using git-enabled PS1. Guess what, not everyone is using git-enabled PS1. Unbelievable, right? I would even mock the fact that you are trying to protect users from the behavior they pretty much explicitly allowed, but this is pointless. Truth is, developers are doing something that can fuck up their system daily. Let's forget about wget | bash and copying completely untrusted git repositories (and it's pretty much guaranteed that everybody using git-enabled PS1 won't shy away from that). Just using composer or npm is enough to compromise your system. "Fixing" this is like introducing DRM: you cannot do arbitrary unsafe stuff without doing arbitrary unsafe stuff. And there simply are people out there, who want to do arbitrary unsafe stuff.

But ok, let's not take it as an excuse. How about fixing git, then? I mean, actually fixing: making it possible to disable hooks & core.fsmonitor & whatever else they fucked up? No, right, let's just disable git instead.

And if I'm reading this correctly, I'm not even allowed to say "I don't care" — I must explicitly mark every shared directory as trusted (I mean, safe.directory = '/' won't work unless / is actually a git directory, right?).

I guess I just shouldn't update git until this "fix" is fixed. Or until git is forked.
This makes Google's 2007 April Fools' Day prank even more amusing in hindsight.
Taxing it back causes deflation (or “counteracts inflation”.) They don't need to tax it to spend it, because the government has essentially infinite borrowing abiliry, so literally all taxing it back does is counteract inflation. (OTOH, giving you the inflation-indexed bond itself caused more inflation, so if your beef is with causing more inflation...)

Amazing stuff. It’s unfortunate that you have to be a famous blogger to get access to this. It’s been said enough at this point but it really goes against the spirit of OpenAI and what they ostensibly stand for.
The original paper in Section 6 looks at the case of a magnetic field: https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/buridan.pdf

It's a practical issue that affects CPU design, which is also mentioned in the paper under the name "Arbiter Problem".
I'll just assume some customers lost a lot more :)

Not to mention all the data that was lost, because you can't create it, because the servers are down.
I'd guess they mean in in the "blameless post mortum" way, in that it wasn't some Random User's fault, it was a total process breakdown that led to said hands-on-keyboard executing with the wrong information and safeguards in place

But what if Spotify pays somebody a salary to create this music, then artificially pushes it up their search-results so people will play it which means they will play less of the music created by independent artists, which means Spotify has to pay fewer royalties to the independent artists.

It would be a bit like if Google-search for some product showed products created by Google on top of the list, but not really even revealing they were products by Google.

I have no information about if this kind of thing is happening but the article suggests there is evidence to suspect it is. Weird artists nobody knows about being on top of the list. How did they get to be top of the list?
Some people just want to go to work. They don’t need to understand coworkers, just the assignment.
There's a difference between low-res and high-res; that's what I'm getting at. I think it's interesting to know a little about how it might work.

There is something new and interesting about the topic to many people. And the paper itself represents a small blip of progress, though it must of course be hyped up to lure in eyeballs.

Novelty is relative.

Ask HN: How do hackers hack MongoDB instances?
This week I got my mongodb instances hacked two times. Since it is a test database there is no damage. But my question is how it possible?
I've setup a unique password for my db? If the hacker can figure out my password, is it not possible they can hack every other accounts on the internet too?
I've hosted my db on AWS. And my port is open to connect from anywhere. I know it shouldn't be kept like that. I am only doing it since it is a test db. My biggest question is how easy is to a hacker to break passwords?
This is the document hacker left on my db:
"All your data is a backed up. You must pay 0.021 BTC to 1Di1cM1QgTxZuwsxp9nRBc6UXUAhbMN7YX 48 hours for recover it. After 48 hours expiration we will leaked and exposed all your data. In case of refusal to pay, we will contact the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR and notify them that you store user data in an open form and is not safe. Under the rules of the law, you face a heavy fine or arrest and your base dump will be dropped from our server! You can buy bitcoin here, does not take much time to buy https://localbitcoins.com or https://buy.moonpay.io/ After paying write to me in the mail with your DB IP: recmydb+1j117@onionmail.org and you will receive a link to download your database dump."

Any tips on protecting aws EC2 instances also welcome. Thank you.
> As I've repeatedly pointed out

Oh, anyone who's followed our exchange can tell you're into repetition. Almost like a religious mantra.

And while there's a lot I could also repeat here, the following is the only novel ground we haven't covered yet and it's ... interesting:

> It's really odd how you devote about half of your ramblings to claiming that censorship/suppression are not occurring on twitter, and the other half defending their freedom to do so

You really think that's odd? I mean, that's not just "LOL", that's "chef's kiss LOL."

In either exploration or argument, it's entirely standard to both refute an assertion, and then for thoroughness sake to also look down the road and say "let's say we accept your assertion, here's why it doesn't mean what you think it means."

This is not only honest, it's thorough. And if you think it's strange, then it sure seems like you're... pretty new to exploratory or argumentative discussion.

This is what happens when DRY gets taken too far, deduplicating similarly named or conceptualized operations with vastly different use-cases.
What do you mean by “git often installs”. Git does not install anything. Developers configure their PS1 or install something that does.

Wouldn't untrusted git hooks mean that git verify-* are useless since you're already running untrusted code?

The first option is something custom that you had to write yourself and remember how to use years later, or explain how to use to others

The second option is standardized and usually the same 1 or 2 commands to run anywhere
You are not wrong in all points.

We usually set minimum increases based on inflation. Often we do higher. Occasionally we have wage freezes but they are not common. We adapt to conditions and circumstances.

Obviously we are one data point, but I have seen other small companies do the same. Big companies bad behaviour does make the news, good behaviour does not, so while bad actors certainly exist, I don't know if that is the norm, and I don't know if it is more prevalent in the US.
A lot of people look down on Jira. My experience was that Confluence was much worse. It turns writing a couple technical notes into a publishing journey with missteps and failures along the way.
I agree. I could not be more blown away if a real UFO landed and aliens introduced themselves. A week ago all of this was impossible.
No part of this is even close to the target. The assertion that a temporary delay in student loan repayments during a pandemic is causing inflation is particularly hilarious, but the unionization complaint is perhaps even more hilarious. There has been barely any movement in actual unionization, and that which has occurred has had nothing, repeat nothing, to do with the Biden Administration, and nothing, nothing at all to do with inflation.

You're also hilariously wrong about oil and energy issues; the US is still producing more oil, right now, than the average year during the Trump Administration, and is still a net exporter of energy. Nothing has changed on that score.

As for the ARP, a lot of that money was for emergency economic needs created by the pandemic. Ask the people who benefitted from it whether it was "completely unneeded"; that's a joke. BTW, the ARP was supported by 60% of Republicans. Look it up.
It helps to write post mortems like this. If you start writing them in a way that suggests blame, you miss out on process issues and everyone clams up the next time it's post mortem time.
These same people are only too happy see kids separated from parents and kept in cages. The non stop propaganda has lined them up to be deeply Christian, hate immigrants, blacks and the poor, distrust vaccines, trust ivermectin, love guns, hate abortions, hate green energy.

The OP is not deceiving anyone when he says that watching an ultrasound made him change his mind on abortions. This is just a narrative trick that presents the " human life begins at conception" belief in a very dramatic fashion. OP probably made up his opinion much earlier when he decided which tribe/ingroup he is going to sign up for, and will support all of the Republican platform right think one way or another.

The artificial creation of the wedge issues is so absurdly obvious that it sometimes defies belief that people don't recognize it. A reply to an apparently benign business question "is usps actually losing money" will immediately reveal the person's voting choices with 99% accuracy. People are asked to sign up for a tribe in their formative years and then they simply take down notes from the propaganda and assume rigid positions. Propaganda was invented to convince the American people that joining world war 1 was necessary. It has never left us, since.

The real issues facing the country are absurd health care costs, dropping life expectancy, unavailable urban housing and ridiculous student loans. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are interested in solving the problem. Who really has the time to worry about other people's abortions and guns in the middle of all of this.

While Republicans are absolutely nuts, Democrats can be forced by massive public pressure to make at least some minor moves to address these problems - thanks to Bernie. But they will do it in a way that their corporate brethren are not hurt in the least bit.

Consider the price cap of 35$ on insulin. It doesn't mean that the insulin manufacturers profit will drop. Merely that everyone else's premiums will increase so that corporate profits aren't hurt. Bush shafted Medicare's ability to negotiate drug prices too.
Point-by-point: phones can (should be able to) unlock from portrait for video.
As I said, video is generally better in landscape, so it's not really about TVs, TVs are landscape because viewing video is better in landscape.
Why anyone has to even argue this OBVIOUS point just demonstrates the militant ridiculousness of people that get on the defensive because they often (not always) put no thought into their video compositions. Vertical video look stupid, get over it.

If that comes across in the tone, it's not my intention. I have absolutely not one iota of issue with their lived experience. Their story is super important to help people figure themselves out. It's only when they start giving advice that is misinformed or assumes that their experience is universal. The conclusion should be "if you're reading this and your story sounds like mine, then maybe take some time to figure yourself out."

I'm not diagnosing them with internalized homophobia, that's literally what they described. They also had to deal with a metric fuck ton of external homophobia too. It's not a bad word, everyone gay person has it to some degree. If you think that bit is some character assassination I assure it isn't. Talking about internalized homo/transphobia inside the community has a completely different denotation then someone calling a bigot homophobic on Twitter.
“A script was executed incorrectly” does not blame anyone. Saying a script was faulty obfuscates what happened.

Not uncommon with these types. Some former lulzsec dude got into EVE then very publicly threatened my corp with hacking/claimed he’d hacked us. Of course, he was on some kind of probation IRL that banned him even using computers/the internet. Our IT lead called the FBI and he got picked up again.
If I am getting your point, you are basically positing that critics are inherently disconnected for different reasons and we should see them as some fringe freaks more than anything ?

PS: to put it out there, there’s people working at beer makers tasting beer samples every single day to check it is exactly the right taste. Ideally every day it has the same taste, if it differs they’ll do what’s needed to bring it back in line. That for decades in some companies. These people exist in spaces.

So many possibilities. You could have a weak password, they could have exploited a mongo vulnerability, most likely they hacked your VM which has a much larger attack surface.
I feel that this hints at a fundamental division between two ways that different programmers approach problems.

I’m the opposite to you - I tend to think logic-first. So, for example, when thinking about a parser I’d start by writing code to read tokens. I’ve struggled to follow tutorials that instead start by defining types to represent an AST.

Different approaches to problem-solving also lead to different preferences in terms of programming languages. In particular, I’m perfectly happy working in dynamically-typed languages for small-to-medium projects. Many programmers seem to be opposed to dynamic languages on principle - I believe that’s related to thinking types-first.

Congress will no doubt respond after the November election. Until then Abbott is the only adult in the room.
Your rhetoric is disgusting and regrettable, but worst of all it's simply inaccurate. I support the right to unionize regardless of whether it benefits me personally.

It seems the area where you and I differ is that my commitment to telling the truth regarding the various economic ramifications is more important than my political ideology.

It's just as likely that the Earth will perturb an object's course away from the moon as into it. Except if the object hits Earth itself, but the point is that's a pretty small percentage of cases, the Earth occupies only a small portion of the moon's sky.
Ah ok this was the real link. The top level link to github.blog doesn't seem to have anything that this link here has. Please change it back.
That’s a good idea; you should implement it and send them a patch.
Not to condone violence, when you allow rent to get severely out of whack with income, which is basically what the australian property market has done, this is not very surprising. People are under severe financial stress, with property values having gone up over 25% per annum in several locations, and Landlords are obsessing with "opportunity cost" regarding rent. Nobody is willing to end the merry-go-round.

Investor owners lost income during Covid lockdowns, when there was an eviction moratorium. They are looking to recover their real income loss.

Flooding on the east coast between Brisbane and Sydney has removed thousands of rental properties from the market. People are homeless, raising families in tents, being moved on from temporary accommodation to allow holiday rentals to resume. They're talking seriously about re-purposing covid quarantine emergency camps as housing. Income support during covid has dried up at a point rental prices have zoomed up, and although jobless figures are at a historic low, this is based on a huge move to part-time work, and is masking massive under-employment. the CPI has gone up faster than pay.

We don't have rent controls, or secure tenancy laws, or a number of things other places do in the world, and we have insane prices. Australia (where I live) is more expensive to buy in most other places: its the third most expensive property market after Hong Kong and New Zealand, adjusted for local pay (median income) worldwide. More expensive than the UK, than Japan, Than America.

Real estate agents are at the sharp end. They do both tenancy management and selling, both to owner-occupiers and investors. Because they sell to investors and manage rents to investors, they are in both sides of this: they get a higher return on high value selling, and a higher % return on high rents.

Some people are paying more rent than their mortgage would be, lacking deposit, and being refused loans. This is pretty obscene.

I am really sorry she got assaulted. I don't approve of this. I am only trying to observe the problem side which led to this is fed, by the industry she works in.

I own my own home. I discuss rental with people who don't and I observe none of them are happy, and all of them are highly paid individuals, who find their % income to cover rent is astronomically higher than they expected.
