> e.g. I had to try this one (“a medieval painting of a monk and a skeleton drinking together in a tavern”) a few times to get the monk to not be a skeleton! And he still looks a bit skeleton-y.

Well, the prompt is actually a bit vague - is it a monk sitting together with a skeleton, or is it a single entity that is both a monk and a skeleton? Seems like DALL-E tried to find some middle ground.

Looks pretty awesome, kudos!

If i may offer some feedback, demo screens from the app/website, and some example sources outside of Twitter ( e.g. i wanted to know if it's capable of reading RSS feeds) might be useful additions to your site.

I wish i knew about it before buying an Onyx Boox Nova Air to replace my Kindle for that particular use case ( news reading, mostly through my RSS reader which is web-based).
Wish I could downvote without flagging.

I won't flag because I don't think it's wrong (although it approaches qualifying as spam, but, technically not quite, it's topical for this site, and I believe functions as advertised, and I'm sure a few mac users may legitimately find it useful), just bad and of no value and "do not recommend" and I'd merely like to do the opposite of upvoting, which is neither accusing of wrongdoing nor abstaining.

Considering it's a YC project and a commercial one, it's at least "spammy" if not quite 100% qualifying as pure spam. It's somehow, in a way I'm struggling to articulate, worse than merely not interesting to me.

It's so right on the edge. I sat with this comment open for a few minutes waffling between submit, or cancel and flag. It can be argued convincingly either way.
I use Z to jump around in the shell. Jump around, btw, is how it's purpose it offically defined.

It uses some sort of substring/edit distance matching and LRU heuristics, and it works almost every time. Sometimes it feels like it's reading my mind.

I have just listened to a podcast episode(1) on Darknet Diaries about online cheating market and people making crazy money off it. Seeing the demand I ended up thinking why nobody is doing it at hardware level to prevent detection and here we are..

Your thought process also becomes more advanced and include more parameters, as you become more experienced, so it can be slower also because of that.
Most people in my family older than me used to be fine with computers. They're much harder to use and more confusing these days.
A suggestion of the lab course "Practical Computing". I have extended and revised a list I posted in response to a different thread. You could spend about 1 week on each.

Spend 10-30 minutes or so the first day talking about the wild ride that is hardware improvement up to the present.

Show them how to use VirtualBox, or some other platform to make Virtual machines, install an OS, etc. Explain what a virtual machine is.

Show them how to make backups, and test them. They need to have confidence that they can recover, and can't damage things beyond repair.

Show them how to use apt-get to install and remove things. This is essentially giving them all of the open source software in the world.

Show them how to use keywords with google, especially -searchterm. This will aid them when they want to find things. Teach them about the "magic words" and how to find them... i.e. annotation instead of markup, that kind of thing.

Set them up a git repository and Notepad++. Teach them how to use it, along with GitHub or some equivalent. Just use plain text until they understand how it all works. After all, source code is merely executable collated knowledge that the compiler happens to accept. This gives them a platform for working with files that they can use as a foundation, instead of the stack of sequentially numbered zip files we had to use in the 1980s.

Walk them through their first pull request and fork. Show them the value of good communication, and set some expectations about working with others.

Set them up with Excel or the Open Equivalent. Show them how purely declarative programming works. Then show them how macros work. Everyone should know how declarative programming works.

Show them how double entry book keeping works. How errors in entry are detected and corrected.

Show them your favorite programming language. Explain how you came to value it, it's strengths and weaknesses. Show them, if possible, some of your code.

Show them lisp, forth, basic and prolog, and explain the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Show them how test driven development works. Make sure they know how to write good tests.

Show them how gnu readline works, have them read the manual for it, and bash (this one is a new thing to me, as an old windows user. You would not believe how powerful that thing is)

For the love of all that is good in the world, teach them how to name variables correctly, how to write useful comments, and how to smell code.

Teach them pair programming, the experience of a few hours can help them skip months of grief. It can be quite a bit of fun to show your kids something new. Don't be surprised when they return the favor.

Most of those are elements that are, as someone pointed out in the other thread, CS adjacent. Outside of the theoretic understanding of CS, I think that being able to wrangle a system is something that everyone should be able to do. Just as EE students should be able to build a power supply, learn that the Red wire is positive (unlike accounting), etc. Think of this as lab time.
Too bad it’s the Google-designed emojis. There has always been something off about the Android emojis to me. They just look less refined and just lower quality than Apple’s.
Yet Microsoft’s and Facebook’s are even worse, straight into clipart territory
I love that you want to be knowledgeable in her interests. You won't be able to keep up with her however, let alone provide advice. But you don't have to.

Ask her. Let her teach you. Be in awe of her growing skill and knowledge, her intellect and passion, how fast she goes. She might love to teach you the things she learns, and this is the best way actually to learn new things. You don't have to know or do anything, just be curious and let her tell you what the future of AI is or whatever, sit back and enjoy your free education.
> They don't need to be. Nothing about the Unicode codepoint for e.g. U+1F603 "grinning face with big eyes" says the "face" needs to even be visualized as being on a head. It could be doing a cheshire-cat-smile thing, just eyes and a mouth — ":D" but rotated 90 degrees. And, in fact, that's exactly what it was, in the DoCoMo image-font, one of the three that led to the Unicode introduction of emoji!

Okay, one vendor opted to do simpler emoji, but the other two displayed faces, right? Moreover, Japanese carriers don’t have the monopoly on inventing small images expressing emotions. The "Western" world had ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and other IMs (say, Poland’s Gadu-Gadu). And all those had emoticons: typing ":D" would turn into an image of a yellow circle with eyes and a grinning mouth.

And personally, I would prefer the colorful, lively emoji, as opposed to plain punctuation turned 90 degrees. I guess all the current emoji vendors think this way.
Based on the responses, I assume this is a silly question, but why? Why would I want to run Python in HTML?

Does Python have some libraries that JS is missing? (I could think of AI/ML libs) The examples [1] seem so slow in my browser (Firefox on an Intel-based MBP) that they are borderline unusable for me (and some of them just straight out don't load within 60 seconds, like the Bokeh, at which point I give up).

I think, this may be true, as I recently got a contact from big tech. And this did not happen in a long while for me. So I decided that I will give it a try, and a full heart-ed one at that, with leetcode 150 problem list, picked up from one HN story recently. And also would take a System Design course to brush up my presentation.

I have been comfortable being useful doing remote work for a SV client for close to 4 years. But do worry a lot recently about ageism etc. So this page article and discussion is very useful for me.

In some months, I will try to share my experience of 'how it went'. It will take that much time, as I would devote 6 weeks at least for learning, and then try to go through 2-3 tech companies in parallel, as per the common advise I have seen.
Sounds strange, you can speak to your users even if you aren’t using telemetry.
in fact Fig project just showed me to what degree HN is willing to bend to serve YC's interests

look at posting history of Fig, always the front page, always the hot spot

Great story :)

I'm guessing it will have a happy ending because there's a thinking human on the other side. This is government, not a private megacorp.
This is what surprised me the most. It's admittedly been a long time since I took a stats class, but the trend line hardly looks like a trend. There hardly seems to be any correlation at all on either of the two charts with trend lines

what question does DALL-E ask to clear up the difference between "draw four penguins" and "draw six penguins"? how many iterations does it need to get "small red box on top of larger yellow box"?

DALL-E is very good at matching words to pictures and combining the results in novel ways. It isn't intelligence and it isn't art, and never will be. It's a tool that humans can use to accomplish tasks. That has its own merit.
>If you are 5'6" you are most apt to be most attractive to women who are 5'4"

In which fantasy world that study was done? lets see.

mmm 2012, the year Tinder was created, so it was basically in a different era, but let's continue.

I see 'questionnaire based data' so it's self reported data! Of course you are going to report that you love 5'6' men. But you really don't. People say politically correct things, and then do a different thing, and this is specially true in dating. Look for studies based on Tinder or other recent online dating sites to have more accurate and real data.
Of course there's an XKCD for that. Yes I agree the trend doesn't seem very significant, even if it's statistically there
Reminds me of the following expression.

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."

The problem appear to be people have a high expectation from HN. People think that HN to be a discussion platform. But it is actually a PR platform implemented via a discussion forum.

Understand that and you ll have no trouble.
I honestly can't tell if this is satire.
I wonder: when they say "A refund of the excess purchase will be made...", does that mean they'll refund the entire $10,000 transaction, or will they keep $9,975 of it (so that you do have a $10K i-bond investment) and only refund the excess $25?
This sounds pretty awesome! Is Honeypot's intention to combine the tools to make for a single installation to quickly get up and running with event tracking, collection, and monitoring?

The quickstart looks to provide a good working example but with it being a docker-compose setup, how is it intended to deploy the setup into production and what are the requirements?

When it comes to event tracking are you free to use Snowplow tracker or any other tracking implementation and then just follow their setup instructions for defining tracking-events? How does Honeypot work in combining these multiple protocols to be queried in a database such as Materialize? Is serparate transformation in the database then required to be able to merge data from multiple sources and event protocols?
the power they have is that they can influence opinions

when those people see Fig ad here, first thing they do is check what the people are saying about it in the comment section

now, imagine that instead of real feedback, you're mostly seeing cherry-picked comments praising the product

it certainly shapes your opinion of the product and makes you more likely to try
How does one even disprove your statement? If indeed it organically got upvoted how does one even prove that to you? Your argument against them is posited in way that is impossible to counter.

I for one upvoted because this genuinely seemed like an interesting feature. It's clearly hitting a pain point for me as a developer, whether or not it actually ends up solving it satisfactorily.
I feel like a lot of the comments here are written after only taking the test and many are not reading the rest of the article.

The authors of the website are stating that they believe the study is wrong. The below/above 60 answer is showing you it’s incorrect half of the time along with data backing up the claim.

But going over my notes again in a timely fashion (<24 to 36 hours) seems to improve them a lot (sometimes just an additional explanation, highlighting, drawing a diagram).
Structure helps when you need to go back and look for something.
Looking good is subjective, I was more saying that it doesn't match/fit with Apple's general aesthetics today. Apple dropped skeuomorphic style from their UI a long time ago.
There are some good points here (stop listening to uptight young women), but you ruin it completely by essentially ending it with a less condescending version of "have sex incel", effectively making the entire comment a very lengthy filler until that point.

But yes women aren't monotone, but that's not what these men are complaining about, it's the same complaint you may face as a female but instead it might be your butt, breasts or weight.

In other words that the dating game IS unfair because it's hyper fixated on one element of a person effectively objectifying them.

That said, dating online is always a handicap no matter how much of a precived 10/10 you are, since it'll never be able to make a stranger able to validate you as a whole and vice versa, in contrast to a reoccurring social meeting it gives you ample time to allow both you and the stranger to validate you.

The issue there of course is that at least in the west that you have a lot of old myths and norms taught to children that warps our perception on how we form social connections (i.e. We go on autopilot in school expecting friends to be handed to us).

This is like the single lump of labor fallacy except its the single lump of mammaries fallacy. There are still roughly the same number of women chasing the same number of men in a larger more connected graph as there are in many smaller disconnected ones.

>> Perhaps semantic negation is hard?

More to the point, it doesn't do semantics at all, only syntax, if you will. It
has learned correlations between images and words but it has no way to map
either the words or the images to their meanings. All it knows is that this
word appears often in correlation with that image. So when it sees the word,
it gives you the image.

What is the word "no" correlated with? Probably, absolutely anything. Most
likely "no" is as probable to appear as the description of an image with apples
as it is to appear as the description of an image without apples. But "apples"
is likely to describe an image with apples, even if it has "no" in it. For
example "An image of apples in a basket with no handle" has "no" and "apples".
So- you get apples, "no" or not.

In a sense, nobody has told it that "no" means "no".

(Also, it doesn't know that "apples" means "apples". "Apples" is only the label
of some sets of pixels in a space. If you scrambled the labels so that "apples"
was correlated with images of elephants... "an image with no apples" would get
you an image with elephants).
The most important part would be to know who or how started the fire that is unstoppable after. Sadly we will realize that electric is another hazard in urban warfare and incompatible with organized crime.

> There are instructions on how to control an internet forum, including tips on “consensus cracking”: using a fake persona to express the ideas you oppose in such a weak and unconvincing manner that you can then use another fake persona to knock them down.

Why does this necessitate the neologism "concensus cracking" rather than the well-established term "false flagging"?

Why wouldn't one just design such a system to give each entity equal sway over the network? One entity, one vote.
I’ve made comments about the dangers of yaml, primarily about truncation. I really don’t know how to parse Finch, or what the defaults would be for the missing data.
Do you write imperative programs that execute statements — out of order? Ordering is precisely the point of monads, since they are monoids as well.

And sum types are most definitely not enums, though Rust’s enums do use a bit strange terminology here.
> Notice how doctors say "levels are fine for your age" for various hormones. For whatever reason them declining is considered normal so nothing should be done about it.

We're trying to do a lot of this about this, all the time. There's a ton of research into aging.

But we can't just do what politicians do and do stuff, nilly-willy, hoping something sticks. In many cases the cure is worse than the disease.
It is really a matter of taste there. I love Microsoft emoji and find Facebook ones very ugly.

Throwaway for obvious reasons, but for me the compensation was (and still is to some extent) having a very large penis.
> When I was 25, I had a small number of heuristics and gotchas to look for, now I have thousands, it takes longer to consider them.

Exactly! You have a much more advanced thinking process, that will let you avoid a lot of mistakes, and let you be much faster in the long run/on average, only seemingly slow and sluggish at the beginning, because you don't jump to conclusions anymore.
Er, what? Surely he's got the wrong end of the stick and they'll be refunding the excess $25 of his second purchase, (and now the entire $9975 of his superfluous third).
Serious answer: get into your local politics. Start calling up your representatives and demanding this change. Find a representative for which this is a key issue for them and start campaigning to get them elected or re-elected. Organize with other renters; there’s more of you than there are land owners there I bet.

The number of voters needed to radically alter the landscape of extremely local politics is probably maybe a dozen or less in this way, btw.
In casual language, random means not "uniformly random", but something more like "without a discernable pattern". Playing a song from the same album is the start of a discernable pattern.
Nice study.

It picked me as under 60 though I am actually over. Does it give any more granular age guesses or is it stuck on over 25, under 60, over 60? I may retake this in the morning to see if anything changes for me or for the test.
I think the way the test is setup tends to create bias as it relies on mouse clicking and hence how people click on things is going to be a factor.
OK, I only said that because it displays in Comic Sans on my Windows desktop (Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Edge), but now I see it looks fine in Times on iOS (Safari, Opera).
Not just methods, impl defines all associated functions for a type, and Rust automatically allows you to call any associated function as a method if its first argument is some form of "self".

If you've got a Cat named puss, the call puss.meow() is effectively shorthand for something like Cat::meow(&puss) where that first parameter was the &self parameter to your "method".

Because this is namespaced, there's no problem if your Cat type has this meow() method and a Trait (say, AnimalNoises) it implements also has a meow() function, Rust knows those are different functions and the confusion only arises for a human reader, and only in code that actually wants to call one of the two identically named functions.

AnimalNoises::meow(&puss) and Cat::meow(&puss) are distinct, but writing thing.meow() requires inspecting other nearby code to discover whether from context this code knows thing is a Cat or just wants to make AnimalNoises. Where this might be confusing you should write AnimalNoises::meow(&thing) to make your intention clear to humans, and have it checked by the compiler.

Only the type's author gets to implement it, and only once (the standard library and especially core are special) so there's an essential distinction between SomeType::function() which was necessarily provided by the SomeType author, and just third party code that works with this type.

I used to be a game designer, and I worked on a lot of games with randomness mechanics and I analysed a lot of player feedback. How people at large perceive randomness is NOT what randomness is, of course. A task to create something that is random, and a task to create something that people perceive is random are two very different tasks.
