I don’t get the pirating mentality I see on HN. People say Netflix was good but the catalog is the problem, then point to alternatives in piracy that are not streaming sites. Why is this? Put locker and solar movie and sflix seem like the best available option. What’s up with that?
Apple never releases a "pro" mini -- with the same camera/processor as the larger variants. Thinking back, the iPhone 5s was near the perfect size for my pockets.

These days I find myself leaving my phone more and more, only taking it when I probably need a camera.
right, because the millions of computers in corporate America running windows are all just going to be thrown out and converted to m1/m2 macs.

I prefer mac, and use them everyday, but the prediction of the death of intel are premature. They don't need to be faster than M1s or M2s, they just need to be at least as fast, or faster than what people need them to be to surf the web, create spreadsheets and power points and run all that legacy enterprise software that only runs on windows.

Macs are better, but they are much more expensive on average; were I work (mega-corp), I can order a new windows machine whenever I want - if I need to get or upgrade my mac, it needs to be justified and approved two levels up from me, and really only developers and some graphics folks ever get approval - and my company probably buys/replaces 30K-40K machines every year 99% of which are running windows on intel.
> and modern knowledge tools are exploring the gap between those two - as well as expanding them in new directions.

Do they? As I see it, they make it worse. We have all kind of specialized languages. Each function coming with it's own limited DSL and API. Often with poor documentation. Is this actually better?

Yes, each language has on it's own less complexity, but all in all they have more problems and limitations than a proper general purpose language with a good API. I don't think that this is really a good future. But it's true that it might lower the bar for new people.

> BTW I can code, but I don't want to; remembering the syntax details of the needed APIs does not come natural to me

So the problem is not the language, but the support? More autocompletion, documentation, automation, etc. That's a concern of mine too. Things are complex, but there is no support for the casual users. Actually I think if obsidian had been build ontop of VS Code and gained instant support from all the fancy developer-tools, it would gain significant benefits.

Another solution could be integrating an interface like Node-RED offers it. This seems to be quite accessible for casual experts.

> I still believe that it is possible to grow a programming tool similar to Excel

And Excel has good access for new users?
Hey, please don't take HN threads further into flamewar! especially not on classic flamewar topics, because those tend to blow up and consume entire threads. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

It's true that simonw introduced the topic but (a) it is something many people are still worried about—a spectrum of opinion is to be expected; and (b) the bot is pretty cool—most comments on controversial topics don't come with one of those.
Man-- I don't steal content, because I've made a lot of money from IP and I think other people deserve for their work to be rewarded.

But I'm so jealous of the user experience for people who buy into a $5/mo plex and get better service than I'm paying for. IMO, that's broken.

So much time wasted, figuring out what service to watch something on, dealing with content ads, bad user interfaces... having content vanish and become unavailable, etc.

I don't even watch much video, but it's still way too much of a sink on my time.
The more appealing approach is to use a camera you already own rather than a C920 -- anything made within the last decade or so will probably work better, given the C920's awful white balance and autofocus.

They may have been active in the movement since the early days, but it's also been a point of contention then, particularly amongst lesbians.

In particular, the modern gender critical movement is a direct continuation of an ideological split amongst lesbian feminists back in the 1970s, one group of whom considered transsexual males to be honorary women and welcome in their spaces as lesbians, and the other who regarded them as straight men who were infiltrating and imposing themselves, and effectively erasing lesbians as a group.

In some parts of the world, LGB acceptance is very high amongst the general population. Over 80% in much of western Europe, Canada and Australia. And over 70% in the US and Argentina.

What we're seeing with this pushback against trans activism in these more accepting places isn't because people have suddenly become more homophobic, but for very specific reasons caused by this activism - effectively the same issue that the feminists of the 1970s were arguing furiously about, but in the public sphere.

Now you are right that some homophobic politicians have jumped onto this issue too, and used it as a lever to push against LGB rights. But they're doing so opportunistically. The more fundamental issue, opposed by many across the political spectrum who have otherwise discordant beliefs, is this elevation of gender identity above sex. For example, in the UK, on a grassroots level it's been mostly left-wing feminist women pushing back against this, not homophobic conservatives.
> you don't know what utility is

I don't think anyone does.

> you've looked it up on investopedia, and on the basis of a web page

Is that definition wrong? Can you provide a better definition or link?

> your own entirely mistaken imagination of what the maths might be

But I do know what math is, eh? And I know how to use it to do things like design electronic circuits that work "like it says on the tin". Do economists have anything like Ohm's law? Can you describe the math? Does it makes predictions? How can it make predictions when there are no empirical ways to measure e.g. the "utility"?
I appreciate the cleverness of your approach. But is it possible to take a C290-ish webcam, chop off the left and right, and maybe the top and bottom, until it is the width of a dime, so I can suspend it in the middle of my screen? Unlike the thread's original post, I am not overly concerned with image quality, but the "not looking" effect that you mention is an issue for me.
hashcat.
That's a swastika symbol which is common in Asia (where binance and its founder is from). The nazi symbol is tilted, has an opposite image to it and no dots.

Gas is used for token in that context and is also a common word in crypto referring to transaction fees.

I'm surprised by the connections made.
I have a somewhat larger phone, but I just don't type much on my phone. I only really use it for communication of logistics with people if I'm not home, or typing in addresses to navigate to, etc. Otherwise I wait until I have access to a real keyboard.

Due to my aversion of taking my electronics over international borders, I went on vacation a few years ago with a flip phone (LTE still), and found that T9 was too inconvenient for even basic logistics, so got a secondary Android phone after that.
Not seeing the bottom of the barrel discussion you’re referring to, in fact someone else already pointed this out. However, I really feel like this viewpoint is too charitable still. Sure, they are definitely investing in R&D to stay competitive, and that has eaten into profits. What exactly does that say about their corporate strategy before recently? If you really put two and two together, it’s hard to come up with anything but the most cynical answer: they cut R&D too short and maximized short term profits like crazy.

I don’t feel like it’s any more reasonable to take Intel’s own rhetoric at face value any more than NVIDIA or AMDs. They’re all trying to paint the best picture for investors.

Plus, none of this really discounts the valid points from the article either…
That’s a great pitch
I disagree. My comment is about the phrase:

>"In a larger sense, academia and a big chunk of contemporary western "culture" is all about coming up with stories, narratives, explanations, mindsets (frameworks) to ignore the exploitation of humans as a resource for the sake of ill-defined (by design) notions of "the group" or "us all" when in fact the end result is a big hierarchical pyramid with little room at the top which requires lots and lots of desperate people at the bottom"

This notion that capitalism and gainful employment is all some fundamental exploitation of people is really common on Reddit. I encounter it all the time. This idea, and those which cluster around it, really could be quoted in just a slightly rephrased version out of the works of Marx and Engels. I noticed this sentiment started really picking up around 2016, and I consider it a public duty to temper it with the reality check that it is absolutely communist in nature.

So... since I'm discussing a general trend on Reddit, I'm not sure how you considered it a personal attack. Other than perhaps the preconceived notion that "communism=bad" and therefore labeling it as such is an "attack"?

I also fail to understand how this is a straw man? The comment above me and above that one were both already discussing this. Noting that the sentiment is deeply connected to communist ideology is I think quite relevant. Is it that you consider communism to be an easily defeatable and unrelated idea to the one I was discussing? Since I think they are in fact VERY related, I don't think the straw man applies. And since communism has captured the minds of many, many people over last century, I don't see how it's easily defeated either.

This is happening at home, presumably where it's the parent's place to discipline.
The problem with 'race' as a concept isn't that you can genetically tell people apart.

Our tools are so precise you can tell which parent a set of cousins had with DNA tests, this doesn't make them a different species/sub-species or race from each other, even if one group has red hair and the other has black.

It's the pointless lumping together of people who are genetically distinct and drawing arbitrary, unscientific lines that's the issue.

Presumably the same experiments that can detect Asian Vs Black Vs White could also detect the entirely made up 'races' of Asian orBlack, AsianorWhite and WhiteorBlack since those are logically equivalent.

So are the races I made up a moment ago real things? No. But a computer can predict which category I'd assign, doesn't that make them real and important racial classifications? No it means my made up classifications map to other real genetic concepts at a lower level, like red hair.

Oh my! A teleprompter for less than $200! I haven't kept up with this market, but that's so amazingly affordable. I've long switched to tablet for the text, but this is easily 5x cheaper than what I still use from a purchase back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. I'm guessing that mine is 5x heavier too. However, it is one of those things that once you have it, you don't need a new one so I've just never looked to see what is cheaper today
Yeah there are definitely ways they would have avoided that, but it's just one example of many. The whole point of ML is that it picks up on learned patterns. The problem is that it can be difficult to identify what it is learning from- this paper itself says they do not know what is causing it to make these predictions. As a result it is difficult to validate that the model is doing what people think it is.
It's not just R&D. They are opening their chip making facilities to the designs of others and increasing their ability to produce chips. All of that takes capital investments and it's a new line of business. Much of this isn't R&D but about building out capacity and processes for this new area.

I suddenly feel very old.
I agree. I actually pointed out in another comment that the term social media does not make any sense. Everyone has a different definition of social media. We can't really generalize findings on all platforms. The studies focusing on social media are often missing that it does not really make any sense to use that word. Are Twitter and Facebook the same? Can we generalize findings on one to another? No we can't. Talking about "social media" this way does not make much sense. It also hides out the fact that in the end everything is about the internet and digital content, together forming the new mass medium which is actually the relevant unifying factor. I'm glad you picked that up!
Good question.

I just asked text-davinci-002 to complete this prompt:

Here is some python code:

def reverse(s):
return s[::-1]

What would this function return for the input "hello"?

And it actually responds:

The function would return "olleh".

Sadly, when I asked it to try "encyclopedia", it said:

"aidnocypilecne"

Which is a brave attempt, but not quite right.

To see if it was just making assumptions based on the function name, I tried to trick it with

def reverse(s):
return s + 2

What would this function return for the input "hello"?

But GPT-3 is too clever for that:

It would return "hello2".

Also, it even recognizes what the function will actually do, when it's named misleadingly:

def getLength(s):
return s[::-1]

What would this function return for the input "hello"?

Still produces:

It would return "olleh".

>"theoretically" here means, with cooperation from the local state, who agrees not to seize the assets

The local state is a boogeyman here to prop up the cyclical scams of stablecoins. There is nothing mathematical verifiable in meatspace; you only have trust. Somehow despite there being 0 cases of the USG seizing legitimate crypto assets, and several failures of algorithmic stablecoins, the "boring" option is still being fearmongered as unsafe.

The mathematical verifiability of Terra was supposedly meant that it would only lose its peg once in a million years based off of thousands of simulations. Turned out, shockingly, mathematical verifiability and economics don't mix all that well and I won't be surprised if "mathematical verifiability" of any of these stable coins is NP-hard.

But it's baffling than HN prefers paleo-economic solutions to trying to solve NP-hard problems.

I could be entirely wrong here, so if you've got more context in this area by all means correct me.

Consider an "AI" that rates the probability of recidivism for prisoners nearing their parole date. That score would then be presented to the parole board, and taken into consideration in determining whether or not to grant parole. If this AI were accidentally/incidentally accurately determining the race of the prisoner, then the output score would take that into account as well. Black men have a recidivism rate significantly higher than other groups[1]. The reasons for the above aside - it's a complex topic, and outside the scope of this analogy - this is extremely undesirable behavior for a process that is intended to remove human biases.

You might then ask, how does this relate to medical imaging? Medical decisions are regularly made based on the expected lifespan of the individual. It makes little sense to aggressively treat leukemia in a patient who is currently undergoing unrelated failure of multiple organs. Similarly it would likely make sense for a healthy 30-year-old to undergo a joint replacement and associated physical therapy, because that person can reasonably be expected to live for an additional 40 years while the same treatment wouldn't make sense for a 70-year-old with long-term chronic issues. This concept is commonly represented as "QALY" - "quality-adjusted life years".

Life expectancy can vary significantly based on race[2].

An AI that evaluates medical imagery that considers QALY in providing a care recommendation may result in a positive indicator for a white hispanic woman and a negative indicator for a black non-hispanic man, with all else being equal and with race as the only differentiator.

In short - it's not necessarily a bad thing for a model to be able to predict the race of the input imagery. The problem is that we don't know why it can do so. Unless we know that, we can't trust that the output is actually measuring what we intend it to be measuring.

That might be how it makes you (and others) feel, but that doesn't mean everyone feels that way. There are people on this thread trying to say that it doesn't make them feel that way, but they keep being dismissed. The studies don't say EVERYONE feels that way, so to act like they are WRONG about how they feel is overly dismissive.

Not quite $100 but I see the aging yet highly-regarded, video-centric Panasonic GH4 sold used for as little as $200 without a lens. This is the camera many small-midsize video production outfits have stuck to for a >decade. There are many (often fairly good) generic lenses for the 4/3” sensor mount it uses, and the camera is known for having a clean Full HD HDMI out. I can see building a setup like this for as little as $300-400. Add a $40-$100 LED light mounted on the camera and you’ve improved your video presence by 10x for less than $500.

> nor is it indicative of anything particularly catastrophic for Intel.

Well, it's indicative of the slow-moving catastrophe that was their 10nm farce. Intel is spending a lot of money to recover from that, because they need to make drastic changes to regain their dominant position. If they weren't sacrificing profits in a big way right now, the most reasonable expectation for their future would be an IBM-style slow decline from relevance.
