Parrots just repeat simple phrases, these language models recombine words to fit new contexts in ways that make sense. They memorise facts and common sense knowledge and use it to successfully solve hundreds of language based tasks. They are problem solvers, not parrots. This term was invented by an anti language model activist to discredit the big language model approach. Fortunately people still forge ahead with research and we get the likes of GPT-3, PaLM and DALL-E.

Thanks for questions. The main faceswap algo that we use is SimSwap. You can take a look at their repo for understanding limitation and chance to be applied to 3d game model. To some extend it will work, but I suspect it may not blend very photorealistically.
> You're saying that participating in the hiring process means you don't trust everyone else participating in the hiring process?

If someone that reports to you does an interview, and you then follow up by interviewing the same person, yes, that means exactly you don't trust your report's judgement. Of course they're going to have slightly different questions; they are different human beings.

I can't think of a clearer example of being unable to delegate than redoing your underling's work.
When docking, the Switch specifically wants 15V/2.6A [1]. Any less and it won't dock. There are some third-party vendors which have somehow circumvented this requirement, though [2].

> Regardless of who you are in the government, the safest answer to anything is no.

This is not always true. I'm a former patent examiner. At the US patent office, sometimes granting a patent (answering yes) is the safest response. If an examiner can't find a reason to reject the application in the time they are given, what choice do they have? Their decisions can't be arbitrary.
The argument I've heard is seniors getting priced out, and having to move. Considering what happens when a senior has to move away from their social group, doctor and other resources they know, I can see why that would be bad.

But this leaves them as NIMBYs, preventing more housing. Without more housing, there are fewer people to charge property tax. So you're hit with the double whammy of less taxpayers, and less income from many of them.

Ossification leads to instability for numerous reasons, not the least of which being that it encourages people to just ignore authorities and go around them. This leads to a culture of routine corruption where people break the law just to get things done, which can lead to a full-blown mafia state or to collapse and revolution.
To the extent that that works, it's not really a middle ground, so much as choosing "run it locally" for the things you really need, and "kick back and relax" for the nice-to-have but nonessential stuff.

Because if the things you really need actually keep running when your provider(s) disappear or go down for an extended period of time, you're running them locally anyway, and might as well get the benefits of that effort all the time.
Bitcoin vs. Bitcoin Cash: What’s the Difference and Which Is Better?

I also recommend the Betty Edwards book. It took me from stickmen to realistic drawings of chairs and hands :-)

It also makes you appreciate paintings.

Curiously the book from the TFA is doing almost the exact opposite of what DotRSotB recommends. The former is about parsing things into shapes while the latter is like tracing from an imaginary glass in front of you.
I'm also an Enphase home solar user. I got an email shortly after installation that if I went a month without checking the app for my panels, I'd void my warrantee. This strikes me as a cheap way to get out of your obligations to a customer who's paid >$20,000 for the panels and associated installation.

The stated reason is that homeowners need to check the app to make sure there aren't any emergencies that need to be dealt with. But couldn't you check that yourself via the hardware that sends data to the app? And if that data gets cut off due to a hardware problem, couldn't you notify the owner via another channel -- like the email address you used to let me know about his policy after I've already purchased the system?

Athens, late medieval/early modern Poland, and the early US all had democratic systems of sorts where about 10% of the population, give-or-take, were in the electorate.

Likewise, slavery < serfdom < caste / Jim Crow / etc. class system < equality under the law with discrimination < equality

Access, inclusion, and democracy aren't binary concepts, and progress is gradual.

Strongly concur. In my opinion, any "real" computer science course cares little about the cool hip language that uses but cares almost exclusively in the theory that makes Computer Science...well a science.

Interesting. I graduated a decade ago and remember taking CS421 where you implement part of an OCaml compiler in OCaml. I thought that it was required because I don't think I would have chosen it myself. It ended up being my favorite course in all of school.
Someone's voice seems to me like unique artwork. Especially when its obvious who the speaker is.

I didn't know about ECT even after searching for a while. Maybe it's lacking in visibility? I'll give it a try.

When in history has interoperability not been a catalyst for innovation? Look at everything people do in browsers now. Or if that's not to your taste, perhaps the era of BASIC is a better example. Not all standards are good, but a decent standard is better, or at least much more practically useful, than a lot of better but incompatible proprietary equivalents.

Of course it doesn't have to be mandated, and in the past usually wasn’t, but hell, it’s hard to see many good reasons to not standardize on USB-C. It’s got plenty of pins, it’s already mass-manufactured, and outside of only a single product Apple sells, there’s not much competition aside from legacy stuff that can’t handle a lot of today’s data, form factor and power delivery needs.

> Isn't it just Kubernetes under the hood? That's not the right question...Kubernetes is just one of the building blocks for easy and secure app deployment. It is not a one-shot answer for day two operations such as reliable databases, load balancing, backups, certificates, and data security...With SetOps, you don't need to care how we run containers – you'll profit from the sensible choices and long hours our infrastructure experts spent to make sure it runs well.

I have really mixed feelings about this response.

On the one hand, I 100% agree - vanilla k8s is not prod-ready, and you need to do a _lot_ of work to figure out some things, especially around persistent storage (but load balancing and certs are a pretty solved problem).

But the line "you don't need to care how we run containers" bugs me. Maybe your two-person start up doesn't need to know, but eventually you will grow to the point that you _do_ need to care how things are running, and need control over it. This is why so many companies end up outgrowing Heroku and have to go through an expensive migration.

What I'd love to see is a "batteries-included Kubernetes", which allows me to slowly take control over more and more of the stack, until I'm a 1000 person company and ready to run my own clusters.
I think nearly everyone is lobbying their local gov to help, except those that already own a disproportionate amount of real estate
I don't know what the intended definition of Commercial is, as it is not defined in the license, but the common definition is:

>> used for selling goods or providing services for money, rather than for personal use

(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/commerci...)

An individual being paid to provide a service is commercial under that, and most legal definitions of the word.
That's actually an example in favor of the OP's point, because patents are restrictive in nature rather than permissive. Accepting the patent doesn't permit anyone to do anything, it represents the government removing the ability of anyone but the claimant to do what they're claiming.

(Aside: I wonder what the effects would be of inventing and patenting environment-destroying technologies, then refusing to license them to delay their implementation. The patent system allows anyone to ban a technology, if they can convince the examiner they invented it.)
It was something like this one: https://www.banggood.com/Turbo-Racing-C72-RTR-1-or-76-2_4G-S...

It's a really tiny one, with a one cell battery. The problem you'll experience looking for USB-C to charge your RC is that it's not "possible" (You'll need a charging controller on your car instead) since the batteries are usually more than one cell and therefore needs balancing and such. Also when you're charging you're allowing currents up to 5 amps in most common chargers, when I'm in a hurry mine goes to 20 amps, this is above what USB-C is rated for, so you'd have to negotiate the latest 200+w power, transform it to the right voltage etc...

I recommend you give that one up for now, sadly.

To be totally fair, it's not like a phone manufacturer is going to put 2 different ports on their device, so this is essentially regulating data as well as power. But also to be fair, USB-C cables that support thunderbolt 3 are a couple orders of magnitude faster (throughput) than Apple's lightning cables (40 Gbps vs ~480 Mbps), and if Apple could possibly support such speeds without releasing a new backwards-incompatible cable, they would have done so long ago.

If Apple ever wanted to support faster than 40 Gbps, they would have to do so in concert with the rest of the tech industry and release it as an open standard. I'd like to hear somebody try to argue this is a bad thing.
Oh adoption does not have to be that good. It is for researchers right now, to exchange results. So the only requirement is that it is possible to use it with a somewhat mature lib in python.
> We can only hope the state of Russia after the Ukrainian conflict is a convincing enough lesson

We can also hope that the US refrains from creating another conflict to try to provoke China the same way they have been doing in Ukraine for the last 8 years. This "Pacific NATO" is the next thing. I am very pessimistic because the US is not going to allow China to overtake them in any way, and they have been behaving like that in their entire history.

Serverless DBaaS providers and HTTP APIs are a huge new development. Mongo Atlas Serverless, Planetscale (MySQL/Vitess https://planetscale.com), Upstash (Redis, https://upstash.com) and Neon (upcoming Postgres). They add features like merge requests on DDL and make managing DBs as easy as managing Lambda functions. This reduces maintenance overhead significantly.
My response to you as a ray of hope is that some do care albeit a very small informed few while even less from those few have made proactive lifestyle adaptations. Should the scientific discoveries and interpretation of the data from extracted ice cores hold true then we know what surface temperatures earth will be experiencing in due time with CO2 at 421. “Time” being the key term as few humans concern themselves with events that transpire beyond the scope of an individual human's time, aka “life”. I can greatly respect your anger as expressed from your choice of vulgar words as I at times use the same words under the same expression of statements but I believe we have all but solidified what is to come since very few people are willing to change how they live. I anticipate more and more increased tragedy at all levels as this modus operandi has already begun. One being the regional heat dome anomalous events which will bring many more deaths from the wet bulb temperature effect since nature does not see race, religion, wealth, politics or any of the other human created points that we argue constantly that mean nothing in the grand scheme of our existence. While entities continue to have meetings to discuss how to fix the problem without wanting to change how we live the earth is certain at some point to force everyone's hand while Darwinism continues to play out, with or without humans.
As an avid BASIC enthusiast I love the concept! What did you envision as the use case for when you're feature complete? Just a toy or something more?
The focus on price relative to USD is too short-term of thinking. The reason I hold the opinion I do is related to scale. A system like Bitcoin if adopted at a standard-level (i.e., long-term prospects) would not see fluctuations in price because it wouldn't be able to—the market would naturally stabilize as people would be able to use it to pay bills, buy groceries, and the sheer scale of the market couldn't be dictated by a single "whale." Technically that can happen today, but there's a massive psychological gap that needs to be crossed.
AOL used SMTP and NFS and TCP/IP and many many other open protocol interop things. It wasn't great at sharing back, I am afraid, but it wouldn't have been able to be what it was without the internet protocols and many other open things (network socket programming, DLPI, heck sendmail, SSL, HTTP compression). AOL is a prime example of how a solid infrastructure enables new businesses (but those businesses might not stick with the partner that brought them).

This article has less to do with TW soverignty but US/PRC tech war. Chen explicitly already presumes rebellious TW to be Chinese territory and TSMC to be a Chinese company under hostile governance that's giving up crown jewels to the enemies (western efforts to get production off island). Proposal is stating the obvious: current sanctions has trapped PRC a few nodes behind. If US tries to increase the gap via additional sanctions before they reshore substantively, PRC can deter by threatening to deny US access to TW expertise and IP to cripple nascent efforts to reshore (via force). It's short term signally that if US goes full out on severe PRC tech sanctions (i.e. Russia tier), forget getting any TW experts to help spin up Arizona fabs. It's recognizing that both sides need time, PRC needs 5-10 years to build indigenous sanction proof supply chain and US needs as much time to reshore from TW (CHIPS act projects account for like 5% of current TSMC production), but if US tries to make things too difficult for PRC, PRC will spoil US efforts as well. It's trying to maintain current status quo that works / doesn't work in anyone's favour.

Proposal essentially within bounds of strategic thinking in PRC circles. TLDR is short/medium term US via origin tech controls has leverage during peacetime via sanctions. But PRC has leverage during war time simply because they can destroy TW and in worst case scenario, East Asian semi supply chain. Yeah PRC will suffer, but most of semi production profits goes to western companies, and has disproportionate knock on affect in advanced western industries, like 10s of trillions in productivity for short/medium term. Ultimately she's being polite and ignoring the raze TSMC to the ground option - PRC's mutually assured destruction card to reset everyone to 2000s tech for a few decades. Meanwhile PRC is one of the few countries, if not only, trying to create a wholey indigenous semi supply chain, even if stuck a few nodes behind. It's resetting the gap to same level if not in PRC favour. As for whether she's serious, the interview was posted on guancha not global times. At least in terms of threat/messaging (directed at US), it's somewhat serious. Like her opinion isn't controversial, but it is someone with visibility saying quiet part out loud.
Sidecar files are such a confused approach to metadata storage. If I wanted file metadata to be portable, I'd put it in the individual files, and if I wanted it to not be portable, I'd put it in a local database (like Lightoom's .lrcat). Sidecars are somewhere im between. They are easy to miss and hard to ignore.

In my experience trying to get photographers to use Darktable, the xmp files are their main complaint. Luckily you can disable them now, but it's still a strange and jarring default.

All that being said, I definitely appreciate the elegance of using sidecars from a software point of view. They are a decent and sometimes necessary compromise. If I was a developer given such a task, I'd probably suggest the same approach. But as a user...no thanks!
When they started this in 2009 they did want to make micro usb the thing everybody was forced to use.

I understand that. I was talking about the high-level idea of using RAII to manage memory. Parent was talking as if that was unique to C++, while Rust also has it and does it better, for the reasons you stated.

Rust defaulting to move-semantics and requiring explict copies is one of the best decisions in the language.

Oh but then half of HN will complain about how that's not truly open according to a dictionary definition thus automatically becomes untrustworthy and they won't touch it with a ten foot pole. (/s)

Jokes aside, technically I don't disagree on the "dictionary definition" thing there... but it's interesting how the current landscape has shifted and now more control for the developer starts to become a common interest between "hackers".

The original OSS licenses protected users (as in, final users) from predatory devs; nowadays, small devs and hackers talk in their forums about how to preemptively protect themselves against predatory users (as in, not final users, but other bigger devs that leech on other's work)
