Realistically, current automated recommendation systems all sux.
And of course there’s an XKCD for it:

I guess I should rephrase and give better references, but my overall point was as long as we are consuming the required intake and at the same time if we don’t we are feeling thirsty, then drink water. The idea I wanted to challenge was that everyone will benefit from drinking x amount of water.
100% this. Having worked on projects using and not using DI in several languages, I'd prefer a world in which we just say no to DI. What it offers, relative to the indirection and cognitive overhead has almost always been net negative.
I can't see how this can't be seen as deliberate insider trading.

He bought over 13 million shares after March 24 (when he should have made his 5% public) and before he disclosed and the price went up by $10. This saved him $130 Million by buying from people that didn't know he'd made a large purchase.
And artists… like all of them, but they should go away in your model, and be replaced by competent clone monkeys who are poorly paid but don’t pander to musical elitism.

I resent your world view.
So how would I create documentation for native GUI apps, or mobile ones, in such scenario?

Usually most of these tools seems to stick with the easy cases, POSIX CLI or Web.
Wikipedia is on a knife edge. It can flip quickly. I'm not sure what they are doing to keep it stable, but this is a bad sign.

This should not be up to a vote. Wikipedia is there to be an encyclopedia, not have opinions on currency.

People should be prepared for when Wikipedia becomes the enemy.

F-Droid, DDG, Cloudflare all flipped at points.

The problem is if Wikipedia treats themselves like a democracy with no strong constitution and legal system once these decisions on morals start, we all know where they end up, the same as Twitter.
Absolute miracle. This is a must-have tool.
"To be in the borgeoisie, on the other hand, is to be a capitalist — even a magnate — but to not have any individual semi-sovereign autonomous power over the state"

Just need to become a donor and provide campaign contributions. You get semi-sovereign autonomous power pretty soon.
I prefer windows to be full screen. Then I three-finger swipe between apps on my trackpad.
Also while inside less: & shows you only lines which match a pattern. You can hit & multiple times and less will show you only those lines which match every input pattern. A ^N right after & negates the pattern. & respects the -I switch (case insensitive pattern matching).

I use this all the time, especially when I'm on a machine that I don't want to bother installing something like fzf on.
Gramatically speaking, shouldn't it be "dog looking curiously _into_ a mirror"?
For those interested in charitable giving with crypto, I set up a decent-sized on-chain Donor Advised Fund with https://endaoment.org/ the end of last year. There are rough corners and it's still early days, but I'm able to give to basically any arbitrary 501c3 in the same way using a dapp interface now, which is pretty sweet. You can setup a DAF via crypto w/ either Schwab or Fidelity as well (and others I'm sure).

I also did a bunch of year end donations through https://thegivingblock.com/ which allows non-profits to easily receive donations via hundreds of different crypto assets and is pretty seamless for both parties (you fill in your tax info once, get an automated tax receipt letter, the receiving party gets automatic cash auto-conversion (if they want) and donor info).

Also, generally not tax deductible, but I'm a big fan of what https://gitcoin.co/ is doing with sybil resistant quadratic fund matching. Generally, not tax deductible, so I keep my donations small (using either zkSync or Polygon to save on fees) but for the latest GR13 funding round, top grants were getting up to 10:1 matching (mostly Ukraine crisis response campaigns - UNICEF got a whopping 37X match btw!) https://gitcoin.co/blog/grants-round-13-round-results-recap/
Here is a quick fix to prevent system-wide exploits, salt to taste:

$ grep GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES ~/.bashrc
export GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=$HOME:/var/www

But malicious Git repos could still affect your user profile. You can harden that by putting all git repos in a sandbox, e.g.:

export GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=$HOME/sandbox
By choosing someone who died in 2019, you've implicitly chosen from the lucky group of survivors. This is not representative of everyone born in 1939. That is the discrepancy.

If you add the current age to the remaining years of life, the total lifespan is monotonically increasing. This is reflecting the fact you are only looking at the expected age of an increasingly dwindling group of lucky survivors.
I (and many others) have kind of soured on that one after the authors' actions.

First off, he fine-tuned the model on text from an online writing/fan fiction site without permission at all. That would in itself be dodgy enough, but if you know anything about these sites, you know there's a lot of pretty dubious sexual stuff there. And it's not as if he didn't know, because he used only a subset of the stories, he must have picked them himself.

But then, when the AI started generating stuff that would be illegal if it had pictures and OpenAI caught wind of it, he blamed his users, threw them to the wolves to stay in good standing with openAI. He would even ban people for what the model did, i.e. even if their prompt had nothing sexual in it, you could get banned for the smut-finetuned AI taking the story in that direction on its own.

Anything based on OpenAI is going to run into situations like these, they are terrified of bad PR.
So this is not great news at all, a totally inconsequential and pointless move for signaling virtue (look at the arguments given), which is contrary to wikipedia's aim to be neutral
Perverse incentives, in house generic products promoted as name brands, etc, my typing finger hurts repeating myself, if you are genuinely baffled read the comments here and grok the actual complaint which is sufficiently defined here.
Well, the energy requirements for wireless communication go up with the distance squared. So even if you can transmit 13 million miles per watt, that's equivalent to about 200GW for 1 light year.
As someone who prefers ISO-8601 I'd love if something would honor my

I have shitty ISP that's slow when accessing many sites. It has great connection to mullvad servers though, so I can work around my ISP issues with VPN.

My country is also blocks many sites and requires ISP to transparently route all DNS traffic to DNS servers that implement the government's block list. DNS over https is also really slow with frequent timeouts. I suspect they mess with popular DoH servers to discourage people to use it. Again, VPN solves this.
Would a non-profit in the US be legally able to accept donations and then hodl them in case they appreciate in value? I think a Corp doing that in the UK would lose it's non-profit status.
TL;DR - The article says at the end, sort of, we don't know why, but probably yes.
Royalties will still be paid though.

And royalties are paid from a revenue share model AFAIK, it's not a strict 0.0X cents per stream, etc.

It's probably a bit of a better deal than the royalty agreements with the big 4 record labels, but I'd be surprised if it's so much so to organise this sort of conspiracy.
That is a bizarre take.

Can we really call software developers developers? Maybe they are just potted plants in disguise?
FWIW, the presentation was in 2018, and GPT-3 came out in 2020.

But yeah, that's pretty amazing.

The Windows-specific 'vulnerability' is weird. For one, it's part of the uninstaller, which isn't a common scenario, and secondly... C:\Windows\Temp isn't even writable by unprivileged users by default, it's not even readable by unprivileged users by default (on my relatively fresh Windows 11 system, at least).
You can drag whole screens from one monitor to the next. Open command center and then just drag the whole screen over in the top bar.

For me it's a two-finger double tap on the mouse (I think--not at my computer at the moment.)
wikipedia doesn't need the money anyways (any more money)
I love the snap and flow of these animations. So crisp, how does one learn to animate like this? Practice, I'm sure. Another animator whose work I enjoy is kekeflipnote.
If the speculation in crypto is being fueled by crypto chasing non-fiat exits (as you imply wrt gambling payments), then isn't it silly to cut off that tap? Value is fungible, it shouldn't matter whether it's a Wikipedia donation or a "gambling payment".
Looks like a leaky abstraction, in which a negligible amount of time saved in development (by mapping command line options directly to identifiers) results in UX woes.
Sharing your loan details to anyone
Interesting, would it terminate in a butt plug?
Otoh, actually misleading behavior should be legally punished.

Spotify is not labeling their generic house brand music and pushing it to the top of charts to reduce royalties paid out. It’s akin to the Amazon in house knockoff problem and it’s illegal, when framed correctly and not made excuses for.

You don’t throw your hands up and say what you said when a street construction company doesn’t finish a project on time, you fine em.

Large entities who play games like this also get fined: see Eu and Google or Facebook recent legal precedents etc
Just pressure washed out my 30 year old Land Rover today, outside AND in. Goes like a charm!
This is brilliant and I'm totally stealing this. I dislike Ansible too much to encode a lot of my workflow in it, but a make file is a much better proposition.
You're not totally wrong.

But if I want to quickly decide if a movie is worth watching, looking up its IMDB score is a blunt but fairly decent instrument. I'm not going to read reviews of 10 movies, usually.

Personally, I most enjoy watching reviews after I've seen a movie anyway, to get a critic's take on the movie I enjoyed (or didn't).
Gorgeous, if only they could be framed and hung in a national gallery somewhere.

Thankyou, friends have been complaining about this for a while so now I can help them :-)
The ios app reviews of PIA says it's now owned by a company which used to make malwares. I'm really happy with PIA as compared to Mullvad. Works better for me but this review is making me feel unsafe :(

The PIA app is lovely. Mullvad's as well
Awesome animations, but the NFT sale link got me to close the tab and stop exploring, thinking this is just some spam trying to scam more people.
Removing the payment method simplifies the donations system. And since it’s not generating any value, it’s not worth keeping.
Does it simplify things? That's kinda hard to imagine.

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.
Maybe it is my enterprise hat, but they always seem to miss something.

> Phones are similar, Samsung's new flagships don't have SD card slots or audio jacks AFAIK, meaning they are following a trend away from the things that made me go with them in the first place.

If I had to get a new phone today I'd be looking at this one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Xperia_PRO-I

It has SD card support and a headphone jack. I've got a Samsung device now, but they aren't very trustworthy. My first Samsung phone shipped with a keyboard that was logging what I typed and sending that data to a 3rd party whose privacy policy said it was used for things like market research and to make guesses about my cogitative abilities. My second one was filled with so much spammy garbage (like pre-installed facebook) I had to spend a long time disabling stuff using ADB commands before I was comfortable using it at all. At this point I'm not even mad that Samsung is moving away from features I depend on; I'm ready to move away from Samsung. I can't promise Sony is any better, but I'm willing to follow the features I need to give them a shot at disappointing me.

that was not one of the arguments made in the RFC

> Common arguments in support include: issues of environmental sustainability, that accepting cryptocurrencies constitutes implicit endorsement of the issues surrounding cryptocurrencies, and community issues with the risk to the movement’s reputation for accepting cryptocurrencies.

it looks 100% ideological
> What if news organizations were able to put pictures of Saddam's WMDs (that remember, never existed) on frontpage stories while the executive was trying to manufacture consent for entering a war?

Then the outcome would be... exactly the outcome we had anyway, which was the OP's point. You can already lie with images with Photoshop. It's a little more work, but you can probably still hide it far better than you can pass off a DALL-E generated image as real.

Lying with images isn't the problem. Telling a consistent lie, getting all the details right even when new evidence comes in, that's a problem, and this sort of AI doesn't help with that at all.
Yeah, "never slipping up" is a high bar. But there's slipping up once, and then there's continuing to commit crimes using an account for at least two years after you've personally told the US federal government that it belongs to you.

WP:NPOV is about article content, not payment systems.
Drinking tea steeped from those fancy pyramidal teabags is a great way.
IANAA, but my assumption is that that is why they update the tables every year— we always have young cohorts with incomplete data, so the best we can do is extrapolate from the past. Given a fixed cohort, over time as new tables are generated and the cohort ages, the accuracy will converge to reality. You could then look at past tables retroactively to see the error in the original extrapolations (which could be large due to black swan events).
From much earlier [1], hurl [2] supports some really great features and definitely worth looking into for repetitive HTTP tasks.

My money is on AVIF. HEIC-based images that are encumbered and non-royalty free don't have a chance on open source platforms
Absolutely, I think that the QGraphicsItem canvas-ish API is much simpler for what I need (a lot of custom drawing); QGraphicsScene also has some very useful functions that QtQuick is missing (getting all the items z-ordered at a given x, y position IIRC? Don't remember exactly but I wanted to try to do a port one day and missed a bunch of critical ones... That was 4 or 5 years ago though). And QQuickPaintedItem was too slow for my needs when I had tested it, much slower than QGraphicsItem for large amounts of items. With the OpenGL backend of QPainter the UI is plenty fast even on 4k screens (but even without it it's fine honestly).

What I would really like to see would be a QRhi-based QPainter implementation for things to be future proof but I understand it's a non-trivial task at all.

Also, even though QML is very nice for projects with more or less fixed UIs, for very dynamic things I find it to be more unwieldy; I reach for it for mobile and embedded without hesitation but for "traditional" authoring desktop apps I'm generally faster to develop with QWidgets/QGraphicsScene in C++.
At that point they're a danger for others on the road.
I use skim / `sk` for this kind of task: https://github.com/lotabout/skim . For example, for iterating on jq incantations, I have in my shell rc file:

function jqsk {
sk --tac --ansi --regex --query . --multi --interactive --cmd '{}' \
--bind 'enter:select-all+accept,ctrl-y:select-all+execute-silent(for line in {+}; do echo $line; done | pbcopy)+deselect-all' \
--cmd-history=${HOME}/.sk_history --cmd-history-size=100000 \
--no-clear-if-empty \
--cmd-query "cat $1 | jq --raw-output --color-output --exit-status '.'"
}

I should look into whether fzf or any of the other tools in this thread can be coerced into doing the same thing, the above is pretty verbose and arcane, and it doesn't always behave the way I expect.
Free speech strengthens a society of equality, and dismembers a society of inequality.

The popular shift towards censorship in the USA is a symptom, not a cause (as is polarized politics).

Accepting cryptocurrencies is equally ideological
Honestly the reasoning is weird. Don't get me wrong, I think crypto currencies are for the most part a scam, a ponzi scheme or a platform for pump and dumps.

Yet the whole thing just does not make sense imo. It's one thing to be against crypto, but refusing it when you are a charity for the most asinine moral purity tests is absurd. This 100% reminds me of the almost cultist like extremely negative reaction to anything related to crypto on some parts of twitter. Now I have been active in crypto mocking groups for years , but this feels more like some people have incorporated "anticrypto" to their daily culture war routine. So it must be purged from everywhere.

Also, I'm semi active in the wiki community and I have never heard anyone talk about the climate impact of their wiki mania meetups and the hundreds of flights that it requires. Or jimbo going to davos in private planes... etc. Well maybe this is signaling that climate change will actually be taken in consideration by the foundation and the wiki editors for their future policy decisions and RFCs , but I somehow doubt it.

The other reasons are even less relevant to wikimedia's mission.

The people of Penistone probably have some good ones.
I don’t want to make assumptions about your specific work, so let’s talk about tech workers in general. As an example, Facebook made over $9 billion in profit in 2021. If you work for facebook, you were exploited to the tune of around 9bil/63k employees, so an average of 142k and change. If you distributed that according to current salaries, most tech workers at fb would probably be due a few 100k more per year.

Without the labour of their workers, facebook does not exist. From the people who serve lunch to the accountants to the coders. Yet that 9bil did not go to them, it went to the shareholders. That’s exploitation, pure and simple. You can support it, if you think it’s a good system, but it is exploitation.

Tech companies know that their workers are underpaid for their value - they wouldn’t have had to collude to fix wages if it wasn’t the case. Just because you think you’re very well paid, doesn’t mean you’re not being exploited.

All that is setting aside the very obvious reason you should have solidarity with amazon warehouse workers: they are human beings and they provide a service you enjoy, you should not want them to suffer.
Yes, but modern DI (like Dagger for Java) can detect cyclic dependencies at compile time and break the build.
Wow, nice seeing this here. Shine was a life saver when I was building the live broadcast capability of othernet.is.

Our Satellite link was really low bitrate ( less than 20kbps). I wanted to keep as much of that as possible for the data-casting part, which was our core offering. So after experimenting with varioud codecs I narrowed down to using Opus@8kbps as my downlink from the satellite to our custom receivers. The problem was, Opus wasn't natively supported as a codec by most browsers (Safari being a major culprit). In fact after analysis, I found the only format that could be reliably played on every browser (including mobile) is mp3. So the solution I derived was to have the downlink in opus, decode that on the reciver, reencode it to mp3, and stream that out to the users browser. Now the reciever was a very low end linux device - 1GHz Arm6, 256MB ram - that ran the entire stack. Satellite receiver, UI server, filesystem maintenance, Wifi Hotspot (softAP). We also didn't want to load it down with large heat sinks or fans as a design goal. So the cpu could not be loaded to its full capacity. Every other MP3 encoder I tried was too heavy duty, and would cause thermal issues for the SoC. But Shine worked perfectly - total cpu consumption remaining less than 10% for real time decoding (from opus) and encoding (to mp3).

My theory is that the model would not generate new faces, but rather "copy-paste" faces it has seen in training. Therefore, if someone generates "famous person doing bad thing" and publish the results there's a non-insignificant chance of a lawsuit. And even if the person is not famous, putting someone's picture on an image could very well be a privacy violation in many jurisdictions.

> It's hard to really gauge the size of something from just measurements.

I know some folks already hinted at this in the comments, but it's beyond bizarre to me to read this quote on HN. The size of something is literally the measurements. If the measurements are wrong, that's one thing... I'll sometimes cut out cardboard or mask things off in painters tape if I want to know how they fit in a space. Accurately reported measurements should never be hard to "really gauge."
