Hand-crafting generative code is the opposite of DALL-E.

It's about affordances. A paint brush is a stupid simple object, but it offers an almost infinite range of creative affordances, and almost endless potential to invent new ones.

A camera is also an affordance machine. You don't discover images, you frame them. And you interpret them by selecting and manipulating available light, tone, and colour.

And then very likely you do even more work later in Photoshop (etc.)

DALL-E has almost no affordances. Prompt goes in, studenty surreal "art" comes out.

There's no creative control. It's disposable novelty. That's all.

There are AI art systems that apply transformations to photo and text prompts. They're much more interesting, especially when they produce images with very high production values and genuine surprise.

So it's not that AI art can't be interesting. But DALL-E is what you get when people who don't care about that throw some ML tools into a bucket and pull out a blob of code.

It's not just that it's trivial, it's condescending in a way that useful art tools aren't.
>Yeah, this is what liquid democracy solves

Do you have any real-world examples of where this was implemented & provided better results than a normal, representative system? If not, this seems like an overly strong statement- history is littered with hundreds of examples of social, economic or electoral systems that in theory sounded better, but didn't really work out in practice
I think comparing getting scammed by get rich quick schemes to that is a morally reprehensible comparison.

Thanks I wasn't aware that Germany has such taxes.

As for Poland see Google translate page of official guidance from goverment: https://www-podatki-gov-pl.translate.goog/pit/rozliczenie-ze...

I poked around on Google and it looks like it is similar to France where crypto swap is also not taxable. (but I don't pay taxes there so it might be more complicated).
It's pointless accumulation and hoarding, and eventually becomes disorganized, which can be some degree of.stressful to deal with.
> there's no fundamental difference between database tables and flat files

But "flat" essentially means "one table that doesn't reference (and isn't referenced by) other tables in a reliable way." It's a way of saying 2 dimensions (flat) versus 3+ dimensions (relational). The moment you start having multiple plain text files where columns act as primary and foreign keys, the system is no longer flat, despite using plain text files.

It seems to me that TFA and most comments here are really just talking about using a DBMS vs using plain text files, not using flat vs using relations.
You are conflating "free choice" with options that perfectly align with your preferences. I made no such claim. You are absolutely free to not buy a house.

And, I promise you, you can find a home to purchase that is non-HOA. It just might not be in the area that meets all of your other preferences. But this is your choice. This is not evidence of a lack of freedom. You are not coerced into buying any house.

Setting aside whether reverse risk compensation actually works (and it would be absolutely bizarre to have >100% risk compensation), Tullock's spike has the problem that it makes driving less effective, i.e. people get from point A to point B more slowly. If your policy goal is for people to drive less then sure. If your goal is for people to be safer in the course of achieving their actual objective of getting from point A to point B, though, the policy is spectacularly bad.
It makes it harder to read imo. I’d rather the beginning and ending of each word be bold and the middle faded.

Not seeing the end of the words clearly makes my brain only read the bold part.

Since we only need the first and last of a word for our brain to figure out, why not utilize a style that reflects this knowledge?

> You're assuming any game that allowed NFTs would simply load ANY NFT?

That's what crypto bros keep telling us.

> Those NFTs are from a specific place (OpenSea) and follow a specific criteria (be an image).

So, a very limited set of NFTs from a centralised service. Got you.

> Like that a single game would connect to some place (GameNFTs) and allow for example a user to select their chess pieces if they owned an NFT in a specific category

So

- there would be a central asset authority

- that authority would oversee asset categorisation (or this categorisation will somehow be standard)

- game devs will willingly integrate with that central authority's API to find, list, and accept game assets

And the reason game devs will do that and are not doing it already is because?
It's funny, because I have yet to have a company give me access to the entirety of their books to analyze.

Again. Above you literally described how games already work, with no need for NFTs. Why the hell would games need NFTs?

Fantastic article. The exact type of info I come to Hacker News for
Same here, except for me, the reason to switch to iPhone after many years with Android is:

a) Google managed to shove an update onto my phone even though I did not have wireless configured and had it set to not use cellular for data. I only used it as a phone.

b) after their imposed update, all kinds of shit broke. Speech to text became terrible. When viewing a photo, I couldn't zoom it: it would crash the photo app.

c) Google kept asking for permissions that didn't make sense to me.

I tried doing another update but things didn't improve. The phone was circa 2017 and I think they just don't test their software on older devices. I have up and switched to iPhone and have been very happy with it. The one thing I did like better about Android is putting one-touch phone numbers on the home screen. With iPhone I have to click the phone icon, Favorites, then the number. Maybe there's a way to put them on the the iPhone home screen, but for me, a phone is really just a phone, so I don't get all crazy with figuring out the features.

The Panamanian independence movement from Colombia had existed for decades. Did the US leverage it to obtain territory for the canal? Yes. Did independence reflect local sentiment? Yes.
That depends on where you live. I used to live in a place where the lows are night were still very warm. Most of the night was too hot. Just before sunrise there was a moment when outside air was worth bringing in - but it was only long enough to cool the air in the house, not the mass of the house itself.

Now I live in a cooler climate. The highs can still get as high in the day, but it does cool of at night - nearly as soon as the sun goes down.
Thanks a lot :) I'm actually working on other concepts that don't sit on the table. This is just the beginning.
As discussed above: the "re-analysis" took an analog measurement, filtered it into a binary "close" or "not close" at an arbitrary distance threshold, and then patted themselves on the back when the found there was no difference.
Why do you think all the "foreign" automakers set up factories in the South? So they could avoid the cost of union-workers, or force the unions to lower their costs.
I don't get it - who does the union organise against if there are no managers?

If they're just setting floor prices in an open market, that's a cartel. If they're setting industrial standards, that's a trade organisation.

bonds aren't currently yielding north of 10%. If they are currently at 2.5% (using your number, not to pick on you, but it is what I have at hand), then move to a 10% yield, the people who bought at 2.5% get a haircut.

I don’t know if you would consider it worth it, but I switched from Android to iPhone last year so I can talk about my experience.

- I love that the choice of phone is easy to do. The flagship was the iPhone 12. Easy. Initially I wanted to buy a high end Android but couldn’t figure out what the flagships were. So I decided I was going to give iPhones a try instead.
- iPhones do feel premium. The box is great. The hardware is amazing. I used it without a case for a few months and it’s incredibly « sticky » in the hand. The first case I bought was actually more slippery than the bare phone. I got a case anyway because the materials still make the phone fragile: if it falls, it breaks, period.
- the camera is amazing. I’m not huge on taking pictures, that’s not my thing. Or that’s what I said before getting an iPhone, now I’ve taken thousands of pics in the past years. Before the iPhone, I had Google Pixels and found the camera great at the time. It was not. iPhones cameras are amazing, and you actually feel like the pictures you take can become real memories, because they won’t look ugly in a few years.
- if your close ones have an iPhone, just go for it. Being able to share photos that easily with family members, FaceTime, and all that stuff, even if they’re not savvy, has no equivalent on Android
- it just works. I use all the basic apps (calendar, mail, notes, even Safari!) because they work good enough, they’re beautiful. Even Apple Maps works great now (I even use it instead of Waze because it keeps telling me to use crappy roads)
- And finally, I’ve come to hate Google as a company and try to not use them anywhere. I decided to pay for iCloud+ (1€/month) and that gives me access to iCloud mail. I use it with a custom domain and that allows me to switch gradually from gmail to something more in my control. If I’m tired of Apple one day, I’ll just switch somewhere else easily.
Some folks call it the SMIDSY defense - as in, " Sorry Mate I Didn't See You"
nice vibes. Monetization kinda in your face, but I dig the site.
That is a spectacularly, obtusely uncharitable interpretation of that statement. I didn't need proof of purchase, ownership, or a traceable path of transactions to the manufacturer when I got root on the PC I built. Or on my phone, for that matter. Yet somehow, it's now secure, and anyone else that gets their hands on it, won't be able to get root.

This is the exact kind of amnesia I was talking about. Are you really unfamiliar with default passwords that one changes at boot, such as every consumer router has?
Ah ok, I stand corrected. Looks like I’ve been misled by their pitch, which focuses heavily on the recon-for-more-leads aspect.
You are responding to the wrong person.

And also mischaracterizing the state of things. Some HOAs say you must have a lawn, not a garden, in your front (or street-facing) yard. They do not prohibit you from growing carrots in your back yard. They do prohibit other things.

I'm not a fan of HOAs. But HOAs are voluntary communities. You sign the contract, you are bound by the terms. That's true in your country too.

And as for American Freedom.. It's just part of the exceptionalism mythology. Just like the One True God, or the World Champions of Sport, or what have you. Intelligent people have a more nuanced view. Unintelligent people are more common, alas. And so the world turns...
In Spain it also related to planning permission. Once the building work has finished, you need to have the planning permission paper work in order. Therefore they often leave one small room unfinished (exposed on the outside wall) to claim work is still in progress.
Which means in the end Xiaomi phones will have feature anyway.

The Android ecosystem is full of fragmentation, the same one that Google fanboys argue that Android was designed to fix in regards to J2ME.

Another two common example among Android devleper complaints, is OEM support for cameras, and background services being killed in name of battery resources.

Whatever Google decides is of little value for an ecosystem where the majority of consumers aren't getting Pixel phones.
The Federal Reserve Bank system was supposed to prevent busts. We've had some pretty big ones recently - 2000, 2008, 2022.

Let's face it. The FRB cannot stop busts. The real reason for the FRB is so the federal government can inflate the currency.

>Haiti was independent for more than a century before the US invasion. What was it like before that?

After two centuries, one might start to think that the problem with Haiti is Haitians, were such a concept not wrongthink and therefore verboten.

I can’t tell you how much I hope they crack down on people owning multiple houses. It’s just criminal. Not only do they own two houses but instead of renting it at market rate they put it on Airbnb an inflated price three or four fold.

The truth is under capitalism everyone cannot be a Capitalist. Please, I need you to think deeply about that last sentence. It’s not as simplistic as it sounds.

Until we treat housing as a cost and not an investment none of this will end.

Car drivers and passengers should wear helmets. Car travel is the most dangerous thing most people do regularly. It's only normalized due to a deliberate campaign of domestic propaganda: "The Real Reason Jaywalking Is A Crime (Adam Ruins Everything)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxopfjXkArM

I think power efficiency has a lot more variables now so it is not easy to know if consumption is linear with time. CPUs now dynamically throttle themselves, plus now Apple has advertised that its M1 cores are divided up between high-performance and high-efficiency efficiency cores, let alone how the underlying chip itself may consumer power differently for implementing different instructions.

So for a hypothetical example, it could be that using general purpose SIMD triggers the system to throttle up the CPUs and/or move to the high performance CPUs, whereas the dedicated CRC instructions might exist on the high-efficiency cores and not trigger any throttling.

I've forgotten all my computer architecture theory, but if I look back at Ohm's law and look at power, the equation is P = I^2 • R. Handwaving from my forgotten theory a bit here, ramping up the CPUs increases current, and we see that it is a squared factor. So by cutting the time by say a factor of 3 does mean you are done 3 times faster (which is a linear component), you still have to contend that you have a squared component in current which may have been increased.

I have no clue if the M1 actually does any of this, but merely stating that it is not obvious what is happening in terms of power efficiency. We've seen other examples of this. For example, I've read that Intel's AVX family instruction generally increases the power consumption and frequency of when utilized, but non-obviously, it often runs at a lower frequency when in 256 or 512 wide forms compared to the lesser widths (which then requires more work on the developer to figure out what is the optimal performance path as wider isn't necessarily faster). And as another example, when Apple shipped 2 video cards in their Macbooks, some general purpose Mac desktop application developers who cared about battery life were tip-toeing around different high level Apple APIs (e.g. Cocoa, Core Animation, etc.) because some APIs under the hood automatically triggered the high performance GPU to switch on (and eat power), while these general purpose desktop applications didn't want or need the extra performance (at the cost of eating the user's battery).
Tax cuts are not handing out free money.
Speaking as someone who experienced both the dot-com crash and the financial crisis from ground zero, this feels nothing like them. I did not see widespread risk taking across the board. A lot of Gen Xers, such as myself, almost instinctively recognized current bubbles and either steered away from them or played them as such. People are also a lot more financially savvy. Even if people made leveraged bets, they leveraged with options instead of loans which meant they didn't lose more than what they committed. Sure, some parts of crpyto is very fluffy but I still don't think it is all that widespread.

I think a lot of people calling for a great crash will be disappointed this time around.
> The unfortunate reality is that the COVID19 fiscal stimulus didn't solve any problem at all for the average person; it was purely a money-printing scheme to allow the elites to cash out by appropriating the wealth of regular citizens via the dilution of the value of their employment contracts and fiat-denominated savings.

If the value of fiat-denomiated savings is being diluted, then how exactly are elites cashing out?

Water infiltration depends on the amount of water and type of soil and the drainage designed into the basement. e.g. layers of concrete and rows of shale/rocks for drainage. Not all basements are equal. The amount of radon depends on the quantity of uranium and thorium in the soil/dirt. So you are right they are not always related but the mitigating controls can be potentially related. Some construction companies just focus on maximizing profits in my opinion and some individual home builders will use construction dirt that contains low or no uranium or thorium.
No.

Both proof-of-stake and proof-of-work are lotteries, not a voting system. In proof-of stake, you get a number of tickets based on how much you own, in proof-of-work, it is based on how much computing resources you spent, and there is only one winner per round.

In both cases, you can pool with other players and share the gains, so you trade a very low probability of winning big to a more reasonable and steady income.
An irritating thing: the t620 used to be barely worth $40-50 until someone started snapping them up and then charging a huge (100%+) markeup with "opnsense" in the title.

You’re clearly just projecting your own definition of “democracy”, which is apparently synonymous with “voting”.

Notice that I originally just said “democracy” and then you immediately took that to mean voting and all the apparent downsides that go along with it. Apparently I could have said anything else alongside “democracy” and then you would have drawn the same conclusion, namely your pre-existing hangups with the system. For example “democracy is when the people have power”. And then you retort with “... the power to kill minorities”.

Again. A demoracy is not any less capable of establishing rights, a constitution, etc. compared to for example a bunch of so-called founding fathers. A group of founding fathers is after all not a group of automatons that are bound to whatever choices the ballot box says exists. For that matter: who decides what is put on the ballot? The people. Who decides whether to vote or something or not? The people. See? There are no bare facts, some given-by-God things that you start off with. Unless you think that the Founding Fathers of the US were handed the Constitution by God, like Moses.

Yes. Some people do indeed have this bizarre fixation on voting when it comes to democracy. And they have this irrational fear that minority rights would vanish under a true democracy, probably because they falsely think that (1) voting is all that a democracy is about, and (2) they are so ignorant that they think that majoritarianism (say 51% of the vote) is the only kind of voting that exists! However, I personally don’t have the patience to go through this dance every time someone tries to gotcha me by bringing up hypothetical extermination of minorities when I bring up such a non-offensive, off-the-cuff, provisional definition of “democracy”:
