Sure, it might. But until then, I wouldn't say it makes sense to consider the AI as "being the artist".

When DALL-E x.0 does that, and when it also generates similar quality from much higher-level prompts ("paint a sad picture", or "social commentary on BLM" or something like this, instead of a description of what the picture should show and in what style), then I for one will be in complete agreement that it's indeed an artist in itself.

Personally, I don't expect this to happen in the next few decades, as I don't think the current approaches are very promising for the type of intelligence that you would need to actually do this type of reasoning, but that remains to be seen, and I am fully confident that it will happen some day.
Don't multitask. Just do one thing at a time. To have full focus I turn off all notifications by setting my cellphone to do not disturb. Then I put on my headphones playing some cool background music without lyrics. The music helps me get in the zone most times. Essentially I don't multitask.
Damage control is cheap and easy.
People just post random old software and Wikipedia links. Weird but apparently allowed according to the rules.
In roulette this is known as the "dealers signature" where a bored zoned out dealer can sometimes hit the same region/sector of the wheel on consecutive spins.

I've seen this happen (or at least appear to happen) in real life where an obviously bored dealer was consistently hitting the same 1/3'd of the wheel and players were taking advantage of it. After a while a suit shows up and starts giving heat not to the players but to the dealer. Chatting them up with nonsense conversation to distract them out of their zone. This wasn't a pit boss/supervisor but casino security - guys that emerge from back rooms to give heat to card counters in blackjack.

The distraction worked: the now very awake and nervous dealer was no longer hitting similar areas and the players moved on to other tables.
Yeah I think it's always fine to use the most expedient tool for the job. Personally, when I am choosing what to invest my time in, I would rather choose FOSS tools which I know to be independent of corporate interests.

I admit it's a somewhat abstract risk, but what makes me hesitant about proprietary tools is not any one thing, but how you can gradually get embedded in a proprietary workflow. Maybe now it's only remote/ssh, but maybe next you're using some feature that's built on top of that, and a year down the road you're in a position where you would have to refactor your whole project structure and CI setup to use a different set of tools, and maybe convince your team to do the same.

And maybe it's a bit philosophical, but I'm not wild about how MS and others blur the lines between what's open and what's proprietary.
When viewed from the perspective the author is promoting, wouldn't "sitting out" really just be "not playing the game very well"? I have to say I largely agree with him in this aspect. Unless your self-employeed or work in a very small, extremely tight-knit team, I find it hard to believe you entirely avoid office politics. I say this because while from your perspective, you might be a nonparticipant, from the perspective of your peers who do partake in it, you're just not playing the game very well. They might see your inaction and instead feel that it's a lack of social skill, that you lack passion or concern regarding your work, or that your simply unpleasant to be around.

I'm not saying that any of these are the case in your situation. I just beleive the author is on to something here, and that by human nature, all of our social interactions are rooted in personal politics on an indiviudal level (i.e. separate from one's standing on government politics).
Yeah, Bungie started off as a Mac-only shop.

They had some really good games (for the time. They would be a bit old-fashioned, these days). I liked the Marathon games (I think they open-sourced them, and you can actually run them, nowadays).

I know that they started developing Halo as a Mac-only game, but didn't realize that they had shipped it, as such, before being borged.
Sure, as in: 240 months?
Couple thoughts/ideas for further research:

- Is sweetened coffee also adding creamer? I don't know of many people who take coffee with sugar but no cream. They usually go together.

- Were coffee preparation methods at all considered? I don't know if everyone in the trial was being served the same coffee or if respondents prepared coffee in whatever manner they liked and just reported how much coffee/how sweet they made it. Different methods may require more or less sweetner, so the guy who takes it black might be e.g. doing a Chemex/pourover, while the guy doing cream and sugar might be going through a standard drip. A third might be doing a French Press. The extractions from those methods will be wildly different.
No, there's no noticeable difference in the skin surface of my hands. Over years of practice, serious coin workers do develop substantial hand muscle strength and joint flexibility but that's not visually noticeable. It's also just a byproduct of practice and not needed for most of what we do. The key physical ability isn't applying force, it's actually enhanced sensitivity. I can feel precisely where the coins are and feel how the weight is shifting as they move. This sensitivity enables precise control which is really the key thing.
I've found it pretty usable out of box, though I guess it depends on exactly what customizations you normally recommend.
My point isn't about the FEC being biased, I just reject appeals to the authority of US federal agencies, because they aren't trustworthy. They don't (meaningfully) punish rich people, and they are usually staffed by various former/future C-level people from the organizations they're supposed to be regulating.
random sampling is an effective method for inferring the same information about the larger population that is being measured in the smaller sample, to a certain degree of confidence based on the sample size and known distribution of what is being measured. These concepts are fundamental to statistics.

It wasn't competing with CalDAV, so there is no answer to this question. What it did was present multiple sources, like CalDAV, in a single view.
I had to change over a Drupal CMS project to building one with a framework. I looked around and chose Yii, which turned out to be a great choice. I used it a bit for personal projects which also went well. The migration to v2 on some later personal projects was challenging due to the lack and mixed documentation/search results.

I don't normally use PHP, but when I do I use Yii 2.
> That said, doesn’t iOS notify you when an app wants to use location services? Did all of these users just opt into that? That seems crazy, if so.

Not so crazy.

Local news, weather, and similar apps with a reasonable rationale for Location Services access are often the culprits.

They will put phrases like “See privacy policy.” in the justification text (When asking permission) so they can claim that the user consented.

It's not even that the evidence isn't good enough, or that the archive appears inauthentic, it's that the evidence you've supplied doesn't even attempt to support your claim. Nothing in the archive you linked implies the whitepaper is under MIT.

(And: if you think this archive may be inauthentic, perhaps you should've chosen another for your evidence.)
So then the user can make the change, and then it's the user's ToS violation.

If the publisher makes this change in public then it's their ToS violation with receipts. I don't think you're really arguing that the VSCodium folks should make this change in violation of the ToS, sign it, and package it up...

They have built this whole alternative ecosystem so they can be in compliance.
Sure, but now you're talking about a group set that's more expensive than most electronic shifting sets. I had 15 year old bikes that were great, but I don't have the irrational hatred for electronic groupsets that most of the commenters here seem to have.
I have a 12 year old Shimano Ultegra groupo that has needed very little upkeep and has a lot of miles on it. My newer shimano out performs my newer SRAM on my mountain bikes. Was Shimano new to the cycling industry 35 years ago, maybe they were bad then? I'm sure that was a glory day when Campi was the gold standard or something (I hear this from the old timers). I wish my newer SRAM stuff was as durable as my Shimano, because it was less expensive....

I'm even now waiting longer for a new road bike just so I can get shimano on it, rather than having SRAM on it and be delivered maybe next month....

The Bay Area's public transit is only good compared to places with no public transit. It's far from comprehensive and the intermodal coordination is pretty non-existent. It's only good if your start and destination are on the same mode of transit.

I don't know about Austin, but with Fremont's public transit, it would take at least 40 minutes to get from the Fremont BART station to the Tesla factory on public transit. That doesn't count the time needed on BART from someplace with a lower COL (Fremont itself is a $$ place to live). For that, add at least another 1/2 hour (for nearest lower COL in Castro Valley or San Leandro). So, it wouldn't be unheard of to have an hour+ commute to Tesla Fremont on public transit.

Large and wealthy Bay Area employers like Tesla therefore run private shuttles for employees for this reason (a practice started in the current era by Genentech way back in the early 00s I think, and later Google popularized it among tech co's)

Maybe Austin has world class public transit, though I kind of doubt it.
An attempt to impose artificial scarcity on otherwise practically limitless resources.

Sorry I only saw this until now, vendor side there are a ton of really good products that need skilled engineers. UI/UX, API, backend, all stuff that's vital to the impact of a product. If you're good at that, you just need a little domain expertise to be incredibly valuable.
Y'all seeing a pattern here? I don't think it's intentional but our fears drive us to escalate and pour money into things to counter things that don't really exist in the ways that we fear.
Unless the LEA or the judge are savvy enough, a warrant might be issued allowing police to raid your house and seize all your computer equipment.

If that happens, you'll get arrested in front of at least some of your neighbors, who might also find out why you were arrested. (Even some of the local cops might think you're just getting away on a technicality.) Eventually being found innocent or not charged may not matter to some of them.

You will be in jail, at least for a while. You now have an arrest record. When people ask, "Have you ever been arrested," the answer will be "Yes." You might lose your job.

Your computer equipment will be seized and police will go through it. It'll be used against you in and out of court—even things that are legal—if they think it makes you look bad or will get you to talk. Getting that equipment back after charges are dropped or you are found innocent in court may or may not be slow and byzantine.

You will need to pay a lawyer, both to defend yourself, and to help you get your equipment back.

That said though, the Molekule team themselves have said that their device is not optimized for filtering particulate matter, but rather for denaturing mold, viruses, and bacteria. See:
https://www.reddit.com/r/molekule/comments/6u7d5y/putting_mo...

This is reflected as well in the testing on Molekule's own website:
https://molekule.cdn.prismic.io/molekule/4ec92005-d806-4991-...

And, I will say that they have numerous tests by independent labs. They did do some testing with their own lab and with a lab affiliated with them, but this is far from all the testing they have done. So to say that all their tests were tainted or affiliated with them is simply not true. See: https://molekule.com/papers
The data is consistent with a hypothesis that there is some smaller bias in favor of the side you started with (say 50.4%) and an additional bias in favor of heads (say 50.4%).

The divide here about Elon is much deeper than I anticipated.

It’s crazy how one sided HN is. Seems entirely subjective and political. If one were to read the comments here, the only conclusion would be that Elon is the force of evil and a reincarnation of satan.
With small datasets you need to know how the concept drifts well enough to model it or model the failure modes. That's half the game in my opinion.
They say that's because they are re-writing it from scratch. That's just looking at their website, though, I'd never heard of it before and happy with Aesprite.
> It's literally the dumbest idea possible.

Unless the aim was literally to destroy these large left-leaning, people-empowering, highly profitable, internationally reaching businesses.

Now imagine which political party and which geopolitical adversary would like to make the internet less liberal, silence the powerless, make American tax revenue lower, and make more space for authoritarian voices on the world stage.
No, no, you're right. It's in my calendar, but I still fail to do it.
Just so you are aware, this is not a luxury that many jobs outside of tech affords. My previous job gave me way more than 8 hours of work to complete in a day and was completely tone deaf for years about widespread morale issues(insurance adjusting for a company who’s spokesperson rhymes with Bo). So I went to a new company, doing a similar job and they give me what they think takes 8 hours but usually really only takes me around 4-6 hours. My point is, some companies will just work you to death and others are either naive or compassionate(probably naive). You need to find the naive companies to work for unless you want to get taken advantage of.
It seems to me like, by that point, the damage has already been done.
I appreciate wanting proper discussion but if you genuinely thought that any comment section discussing Elon Musk was going to be productive I would like to ask for a counter example where one has occurred. It would be very instructive in many ways on how to build such a community and platform.

The hazard ratio being <1 means that mortality was lower.
No moving of goalposts here. OP claimed that Bitcoin’s primary purpose was transactions. I countered that the primary purpose was network security not txs, though pointed out two transaction use cases where Bitcoin beats every other payment method or monetary system.

You compared Bitcoin’s energy use to nation states. I compared it with hair dryers and one nation’s military, while pointing out that the US military’s energy consumption was only a small portion of it’s fully loaded cost in terms of externalities (others being: death, destruction, fossil fuel usage greater than any other entity to ever exist)

Again, no moving of goalposts. Simply fair comparisons of different forms of money.

Bitcoin never claimed to replace all uses of USD or gold, but it does reduce the total external costs in many important ways while providing the world with a powerful new alternative that is peer to peer, can be self-custodied, and has a fixed low inflation rate from now to infinity making it harder money than any that has ever existed.
When I know I'll be working on mundane tasks I usually plan ahead to also have something interesting to switch to when I do my daily/weekly planning. I don't context switch that much during one task but when I'm stuck at something boring I find it easier to work on something else for a while and then come back.

Or, if that's not an option, I throw in a playlist and try to complete that task as fast as possible. And if that keeps happening I talk to my boss to work on something else instead.
Well sure, if you are sufficiently privileged to warrant getting a polite knock on the door rather than an amped up heavily armed borderline hit squad kicking your door in.

It's also worth noting that the author specifically called out in the article that the concern here is SWATing which has become such a notorious problem in some circles that the concept has made it into mainstream TV shows covering the practice.

Due process only counts when it's uniformly available, and there is ample evidence in the United States, and other countries that have similar policy, that the effectiveness of civil rights protections varies widely by economic status and ethnicity.

I highly doubt that this is going to be the case if the warrant says that you’re wanted for child abuse imagery or human trafficking. I’m sure they’re lovely for small infractions, though.
> Also, ZFS 0.8.6 is from 2020, lots of stuff happened since then, a bit odd to post a new benchmark using almost two-year-old software.

That's probably a side effect of using Ubuntu 20.04, just like having a 5.4 kernel (which is likewise getting old). Although yes, that probably isn't helping, and it would be interesting to do the same test and change nothing but moving to Ubuntu 22.04 and the corresponding kernel and ZFS versions, both of which should help.

You can get great performance from garbage collected languages, to be honest. I guess what you can't get is perfectly predictable latency — but that only matters for a pretty narrow class of applications.

What could this mean:

> The association between artificially sweetened coffee and mortality was less consistent.

Also, is unsweetened coffee black coffee, or could it be coffee + some type of creamer? I’m assuming it must be the latter because if they meant black coffee they would have said that.

DKIM is certificates, so I'm guessing you're talking about sender certificates?

How would that help? Spammers can get certificates too. Maybe it cuts down on some of the misconfigured http email senders, maybe, but not enough to matter. Scam sites run https these days.

You can't use like age of activity of the cert to help because a) things get compromised, b) you need to rotate your certs frequently anyway.

Actually, a fraudster can design their system such that when preview service is the one rendering the page, it returns an error, but when a legit user is making the request, it may proceed showing bad stuff.

This is known as cloaking.

Safe thing to do is to block the submission instead of letting it through anyway, or potentially downrank the tweet, or graylist or whatever, or put it into failed queue for investigation, or something along thoselines.

I think crowd here would be delighted when twitter allows spam links because they figured out a way to fool the preview service in some ways.
