Naming your microservice after a favorite pop culture entity may end up spoiling your enjoyment of said entity, because the name will trigger PTSD from that messed-up microservice. So better pick some neutral name.
Yes, there are very sharp lines where it does and doesn't understand. It understands color and gender but not materials. I got very good outputs for "blue female Master Chief" but "starship enterprise made out of candy" was complete garbage.
I highly doubt this - everytime I have heard people complain about this it terns out to be a percentage of their paycheck (which is pretty standard for all unions - rarely it is a flat fee).

What potentially could be a whole paycheck are the payments for healthcare that is provided by the union
Cyclists are are smaller and easier to pass than tractors. Cyclists are better than obeying traffic laws than drivers. Multiple police surveys confirm it. Finally cyclists are subject of so much abuse and straight up murder attempts on the road that it's reasonable to expect them "acting aggressively towards a car". I mean if you come swinging a heavy object next to me I may lose my cool as well.
To my understanding, the EU cookie law has mostly been met with malicious compliance; now I get a pop-up window on nearly every web page I visit asking me if I'm happy to accept their tracking cookies.

Does anyone have thoughts on how big tech might comply to this new digital markets act maliciously?
The traditional (neoclassical economics) view is that taxes pay for services, but that's not how it really works. The federal government buys these services with money it creates, and then only later does it tax it back.

For state an local governments this is mostly true but even there the federal government helps out.

What you want is for the wealthy to pay for the poor and old and those without much wealth or income.
> In theory, wouldn't the player who takes the first move have a tiny tiny edge? Or is the second mover always able to guarantee a draw if they play perfectly?

White cannot have a tiny tiny edge against perfect play.

Either it is possible to force a win against perfect play, or it's not. So white is either winning or the game is a draw (or black is able to force a win against white's perfect play, but that's a whole different level of unlikely).

When talking about perfect play, terms like "tiny edge" lose their meaning.
>The person you are responding to offered an interesting comparison, that of stats from the US versus other countries

They did the exact opposite of this. They asserted that it is wrong to examine this issue statistically.
These remarks about interest rates having an impact on real estate prices are not universally accepted.

There is an incredible amount of land not to mention upzoning and vertical development. Not to mention there is no monopoly on housing unit production. In fact many companies want to build but can’t due to approval processes and zoning.

Right, but that's missing the forest for the trees, isn't it?

The implication of your answer is that you COULDN'T tell that the person is lying, because you'd be too lost in semantics to tell left from right. So, you fall victim to his charade.
How to Compress Images in Python from Scratch (Dithering)
I thought:

a) NH (like CA) didn't revalue land for property tax purposes as long as you continue to own it.

b) NH had a generous homestead exemption based on the median of the area in which you live.
It depends on the needs of the mobile version. Often, a well designed responsive version of the same web app is enough. Even if it's a mobile native app, you might still be able to reuse some/most of the screens with the same html in a webview.

Even if you really needed it to be an API, you can always make the server side return either html or json depending on some request header. There's also a chance that the mobile version will be different enough from the desktop that it warrants new, custom built endpoints anyway.
Part of me would love to see Apple pull out of Europe, and bully them to roll this back. Would be fun to watch!

DALLE images are still only 1024 px wide. Which has its uses, but I don’t think the stock photo industry is in real danger until someone figures out a better AI superresolution system that can produce larger and more detailed images.
Drowning or having your leg cut off are not chronic conditions. I think it makes a lot of sense to analyze chronic problems in the brain through the chemical lens.
They should have pre-scuffed the sharp edges a fixed amount to give it a pinstriped look. The reason it looks bad is that the edge scuffing is uneven.
This is clever. Does GPT-3 come up with the title of the article, too? That's the funniest part.
I'm a die-hard Hetzner fan, too. I have personal servers on AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean, GCP, and Vultr, but I think my Hetzner server is my favorite & provides the biggest bang for the buck.

Oh, I also have CRUD and new tech churn fatigue. Plus a deep cynicism about the industry! That's why I've found my way into a job that doesn't involve building a CRUD app at a company that's not a giant VC-backed unicorn. I recently hit 10 years in the workforce, did some soul searching about what I wanted the next 10 years to look like, and made a career move (which is itself a big privilege) to try and get there.

That said, words are squishy. Maybe "like" would be a better descriptor. But either way, I feel pretty happy where I am!

(I still don't want to work though lol)
Would it not be possible to spin off “iPhone Europe PLC” which is worth less than the threshold?

If it were truly independent then Apple’s “global market cap” would be irrelevant, and Cupertino could collect via IP licensing in Luxembourg taxed at 5%.

> If drivers didn't want that, then hey... they would have turned off the stereo before turning off their car.

There was a time of honey and milk where we could visualy inspect the power/volume nob before ignition and see if the radio was on or off. Maybe even turn the nob with a reassuring little feedback click.
I'm not clear on how land value taxes would incentivize the right kinds of units. For instance, would a land value tax incentivize the creation of tiny bachelor apartments, or larger apartments that families can use? We need incentives for both, and larger units are not very common these days.
I like this. We need more ultra-mobile electronics tools. I'm waiting for the day the Pokit Meter can handle mains voltage.

Shame? No, I feel disgust at the bourgeoisie in Pdx who make excuses for them (and try to shame others into doing so. That doesn't work on me). I'm not just talking about the dropouts. I'm talking about the pervasive attitude of people who do work that life's so unfair, that dropping out is a rational and excusable option. That the system is so broken it's not worth fixing.

FWIW I also live in inner SE and it has changed drastically for the worse in the last few years. But I can assure you, one thing hasn't changed, I still talk to tons of people from all walks of life. I can walk a few blocks in any direction and run into a dozen people I know and who know me by name.
The point is that it's not worth doing even for cars. If the toll for the truck was $50, the proportional toll for the car would be one half of one cent.

Yes, yes and yes.

It's a generic "less privacy, more control" thing. School administrations generally love those, and it's highly visible as "doing something".

It's of course shitty for students and doesn't really improve safety outside of very niche edge-cases.
land use must be fair. You should tax excessive ownership of land.

Most old do not live in assisted care. ANd healthcare is independent of land ownership.

CA is extremely screwed up on how it taxes. I used to live in Cupertino where some people were paying taxes on 2 million dollar lots valued at 100k.
Monopolistic regulation? This is clearly aimed against existing monopolies, i.e. gatekeepers. Can you explain how ensuring that

will "kill competition"?

For an initiative named OpenAI, keeping their source code and models closed behind a license is bullshit in my opinion.
I like the thought that, years from now, we're all drinking eating weirdly-presented food / drinking weird cocktails because AI synthesized the images of drinks around the web and decided `cocktails always include fruit` and `all food must be piled high on plate`
Yes, get rid of property taxes and completely overhaul the tax system. You could easily replace property taxes with a VAT which I would find much preferable because it’s more flexible. Illinois property taxes robbed my family of a farm that had been in our family for 200 years. My grandparents simply couldn’t afford $20k in taxes every damn year. Patently absurd.
Why? Comcast can't remotely brick your phone, lock you out of your email address, or kill your small business on an automated whim.
There's also the issue that subtle bugs are a lot harder to find in ML since often the model just adapts (although potentially with worse performance). This then breaks models when the framework updates.

One recent example that comes to mind is that PyTorch now disables Ampere GPUs' TF32 units by default since there were some hard to find edge cases where the matrix multiply results were completely wrong compared to the expected result. This went mostly unnoticed except in a few cases where users were trying something a bit more sensitive to such issues.

I had a similar issue in one of my own models where there was an error in a normalization layer's implementation in Tensorflow (it was computing the average over the wrong axis iirc). It only became noticeable to me when I came back to retrain the model a few months later with an updated Tensorflow version and found that the results from training were not even comparable.
It's way more than that.

It's going to result in more content being created, which will change the economies of content. Rate, scale, and volume of production will increase by orders of magnitude.

Disney thinks IP is a war chest. That's an old way of thinking.

Star Wars won't be special to the new kids growing up that can generate "Space Samurai" and "Galaxy Brouhaha" in an afternoon.

We're going to hit a Cambrian explosion of content.
I've _tried_ going down this route a couple times, with mixed success. Thus far the best experience has been with [lorelei](https://github.com/shajra/direnv-nix-lorelei), which does a decent job making Nix and Direnv play nice and being relatively transparent and forgettable once set up.

Still feels like I don't know what's going on under Nix's hood, though. That syntax...
Governments in the West have grown tremendously. In the United States the footprint of Government is 44% of GDP. 44%!

This community is "Hacker News" not "Socialist News" or "Red State".

Government should be able to function much better with much less. And it is no Hackers interest for its footprint to continue its endless expansion.
If there is an obligation to respond within a certain time, and an obligation to avoid certain activities (whatever you imagine that makes you unable to respond) then those are work hours even if nobody calls. It's exactly like a fireighter shift or call center shift where there happen to be no incoming calls, or a night shift at a remote gas station if no customers come during that night.

And if you're getting paged outside of work hours, then there's zero obligation to answer your phone.

There's no middle ground. If the employer says that these aren't working hours, they have zero right to ask what you're doing at these hours, much less put any conditions on it; it's your right to spend that time fishing in a remote lake with no cell phone service or go on a date or whatever and not even explain anything without any reprimand when you arrive at your scheduled start of work time; and if they want you to commit to a shift, well, "a shift" where employer tells you what to do (e.g. do not go fishing to a remote lake and don't sleep for 12 hours with your phone off) is by definition work hours.

It is quite plausible that most of the times most employees will pick up the phone and solve reasonable issues, but that's an extra courtesy from the employee, going beyond what you can demand or expect; but the moment you start to require that, or ask an employee to precommit that they will definitely be monitoring their phone for rapid response, that means you're effectively assigning those hours as work hours.

It's understandable that being on-call can be very light work in many cases (not all - quite a few counterexamples in this discussion), so you can agree on different compensation for them, but those definitely are work hours (they definitely aren't non-work hours, and there is no middle ground) and thus any rules on length of shifts and rest between shifts can and should apply also for on-call hours.
Just because it was passed for a good reason does not make it a good policy. Prop 13, whatever the good intentions, is a disaster and has created a modern landed gentry in California.
I agree with you there - commuting, especially in the form of "everyone needs to be in the office by 9am", which leads to gridlock on the transport mechanisms and a completely avoidable collective waste of time, is a pretty cruel farce imposed on the workforce. For most jobs, a no-commute situation is pretty great and staggered work start times would be very helpful for those jobs that require (edited) in-office presence.
> Teams never seem to understand how to alert on stuff. Ive been paged for things going off, that might indicate a problem, then you get stuck sticking around because someone else wants to just wait and see what happens. "We should just be cautious" Its impossible to push back on these things, your just going against someones gut feeling, like maybe one day we will want to know, and everyone needs to protect them selves.

From an ops person: if an alert does not have:
- clear, provable impact on customers (internal/external)
- clear documentation (e.g. runbooks) on how to solve it

It should not be an alert. I took this path (successfully) when trying to remove spurious alerts that existed only for the ego of someone (most absurd example, something that started complaining when p99 for some endpoints went >500ms and happened every day when we downscaled the ASGs because business hours were over. No clear path to resolution, and impact was a couple pages opened a bit slower sure - but the number of customers using those pages after hours was <1%!

It sucks, definitely, but the best way to go around those alerts is to prove they're pointless or a waste of time or can be automated around and should automated around (and I've seen so many servlets leaking memory triggering OS alerts for OS teams or spawning infinite threads and never cleaning up after themselves...).

If the company does not want to do it, and pushes back, I would recommend starting to look for another company. It's sad, but it is what it is. 99.99% of software does not need a follow the sun rotation (or people damned to night shifts), just a bit of thought about what happens when things fail.

I have some first-hand experience about how the copyright office views these works from creating an AI assistant to help me write these melodies: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoCzMRqh5SkFwkumE578Y.... Here is a quote from the response from the Copyright Office email before I provided additional information about how they were created:

"To be copyrightable, a work must be fixed in a tangible form, must be of human origin, and must contain a minimal degree of creative expression"

So some employees there are aware of the impact that AI can have. Getting these DALL-E images copyrighted won't be trivial. I think it will be many years before the law is clarified.

Anything to end Corporate Memphis. Even, if we as illustrators will not have jobs or commissions. Let's hope that every creative human endeavour, painting, music, poetry will be replaced and removed from the commercial realm. Then maybe we will see artistic humanism instead of synthetic trans-humanistic "pop art".

Happily for me I stopped painting digitally long time ago. I even stopped calling myself "an artist". Nowadays I paint and draw only with real medium and call all of that "Archivist craftsmanship with analogue medium". :)
infotainment systems built by car manufacturers are just absolutely dreadful from an end user perspective. I have had a similar experience in the past (albeit much less of an annoyance) but was fixed 3 years later in a firmware update while randomly visiting the dealership for warranty items.

android auto/apple car play are an absolute dream to use on the other hand. If I buy another car, it will be a must have (rather than an aftermarket accessory)
Being on call should just be paid at the normal hourly rate. It's an outrageous setup up: we need you to available but don't want to pay you for it.

I did it for a few years and it made me pretty depressed. By the end of it I stopped giving a shit and just resumed my normal Friday night of having a few beers (or a lot of beers). At first they offered me a rate that was less than min wage. I said no until it was an acceptable rate. Every other company seems to pay terrible on call rates in the UK.
It makes me angry just thinking about this period of my life.

Seriously, if a company wants to make money doing SAAS then they can't expect to steal employee time. My advice, if asked to do it, refuse until they offer very good money for it. Good luck to them recruiting a system expert to replace you.
I would advise you, Sam Atman, to review the city limits and landscape as they changed over time, rather than eliminating all context from trite tidbits of information to make an underdeveloped and irrelevant point.

Have you seen the queries that are used to generate actually useful results rather than just toy demonstrations? They look a lot more like your first example except with more specificity. It'd be more like "an adult human of any gender and any race and skin color dressed in a laboratory coat standing by a window holding a beaker in the afternoon sun. 1950s, color image, Canon 82mm f/3.6, desaturated and moody." so if instead you are looking for an image with a person of a specific ethnicity or gender then you are for sure going to add that in along with all of the details. If you are instead worried about the bias of the person choosing the image to use then there is nothing short of restricting them to a single choice that will fix that and even in that case they would probably just not use the tool since it wasn't satisfying their own preferences.

So what's the carbon impact of paying employees?
Is there a Co2 kg/$ ratio?
I'm referring to capital being distributed, rather than concentrated. In this case, the capital of restaurant ownership and marketshare. In the Chipotle model (which is really the Wall Street model), it's all controlled by centralized entities that end up setting policy for the entire country, which intrinsically tends towards blandness (lowest common denominator). So yes, "local burrito shops" - where cooks, managers, or owners (ie people who actually work in the physical restaurant) have agency to create and improve recipes that they themselves enjoy.

Shouldn't they take out a loan?

Is the funding free? Where is it coming from?

I've yet to read a good explanation for the CHIPS act. All this money being spent when we should be cutting spending.

Shouldn't the chip companies be able to sell bonds / shares to raise money for more factories?
> Even assuming that effect does happen, it'd be considerably worse under a property tax.

So your answer is to dismiss my position without evidence? Your point that property tax is worse than LVT isn't justified by your claim. If land values are determined by government assessment like property values are, then you're still paying property tax, albeit with an obfuscated input for improvement in the calculation which may be higher or lower or just the same as a regular property tax.
