Instead of Pattern in the collection, play a variant of picross/nonogram with hand made levels, much more satisfying. Picross3d is similar but 3d, really good.

Sherlock and Honeycomb, two variants of hint games where you deduce what is where. Like "x is to the left of y".

Willa's Walk. Create a loop through rooms, but can never walk straight. All three can be found here for desktop and mobile https://www.kaser.com/mobile.html (they look funky but play well)

Hexcells, a bit like minesweeper but multiple different kind of clues. On Steam, but also a mobile variant called Sixcells. https://store.steampowered.com/app/265890/Hexcells/

The idea of a "right leaning majority" is pure propaganda.
The US dollar will always be the major currency of the world. What should replace it? The Euro is a good valuable currency, but we lack the military power that secures the US dollar plus we suffer from internal issues like the Italian debt that threatens to destabilize the Euro once again. Japan is a major economy, but still small and it has issues because its backing by the government is uncertain after "Abenomics" and the gerontification of Japanese society. The Chinese currencies suffer from cashflow control measures, and who the fuck would buy anything from Russia even if they had more to offer than barely functioning tanks, oil, gas and grain?
For me, it is the unreasonable effectiveness of just showing up everyday.

I don’t personally expect a US civil war in the next decade, but I think we are much closer to that point than is safe. What’s really concerning is IMO the odds have been getting worse over time and nobody seems to be trying to calm things down.

Gerrymandering for example is extremely beneficial for elites in both political parties, but increasingly corrodes peoples faith in the system. It’s the perfect example of people actively harming the United States, and never spoken about in those terms.

Tell me one.
>> Yeah, I don't think so. This feels like a survey of people who consume too much news and social media and have become increasingly disconnected from the reality on the ground.

This says it all. The talk is there, social media (or any one who will listen) seems to be a popular public journal for people to vent feelings and use it as therapy. I even have friends that txt their anxiety about the political situation and when it reaches peek anxiety, the words civil war get thrown in there. But, it's clearly just a way to release the temporary anxiety they are feeling after having spent too much time consuming click-bait media - most people are too comfortable and self-serving in their lives to engage in long term life and death violence.

People here really did not do well, mentally or physically, when they were told they could not gather at bars or restaurants for months. And they really didnt like the disruptions to the sports seasons. The majority are not the extremist (be its very definition) that would actually be willing to give up football on Sunday to cosplay civil war 2.0.

Also, the logistics are not there - not that I can see anyway. Many people would defend their home and cities, but wont be motivated to march thousands of miles into unfamiliar neighborhoods to get shot at by g'ma and a 8 y/o. I think people, even other Americans, underestimate the actual patriotism of people in this country.
I suspect this is a problem with the car: it connects and sends the command to play. But Tesla has a particularly poor implementation in which it will do this even if it’s not playing the Bluetooth stream — the phone would stream into the void and the car will play other music.

I don’t think this is Apple’s fault. Apple could add a per-peer setting to disable play commands over Bluetooth or maybe to disable them within a few seconds of connecting.

The biggest issue, IMHO, is the fact the senate holds all this power, yet Vermont and Texas have the same level of representation in it.

The House, for all it's flaws in being capped so low, at least has the advantage of being more representative of the population, having a clearer majority, and being large enough to support factions within the parties.

I can argue that choosing what stories are important and which not, is a matter of what one values.

I as the editor/owner of a media house might find it important that politician A has ties to company X. Another media house might think, this isn’t important and find it more valuable for the public to know that a law is to be passed that will limit my freedom to do business as I please.

Neither is wrong or right.

Why?
In the unCLIP/DALL-E 2 paper[0], they train the encoder/decoder with 650M/250M images respectively. The decoder alone has 3.5B parameters, and the combined priors with the encoder/decoder are the in the neighborhood of ~6B parameters. This is large, but small compared to the name-brand "large language models" (GPT3 et. al.)

This means the parameters of the trained model fit in something like 7GB (decoder only, half-precision floats) to 24GB (full model, full-precision). To actually run the model, you will need to store those parameters, as well as the activations for each parameter on each image you are running, in (video) memory. To run the full model on device at inference time (rather than r/w to host between each stage of the model) you would probably want an enterprise cloud/data-center GPU like an NVIDIA A100, especially if running batches of more than one image.

The training set size is ~97TB of imagery. I don't think they've shared exactly how long the model trained for, but the original CLIP dataset announcement used some benchmark GPU training tasks that were 16 GPU-days each. If I were to WAG the training time for their commercial DALL-E 2 model, it'd probably be a couple of weeks of training distributed across a couple hundred GPUs. For better insight into what it takes to train (the different stages/components of) a comparable model, you can look through an open-source effort to replicate DALL-E 2.[2]

Wish that were true, but sadly forums went down with ad prices racing to the bottom around 2005 when forum pages became plastered with more and more ads to compete against targeted advertising. Also news aggregators including HN and Reddit did play a role in their demise.
I just pulled it up to refresh my knowledge for a project and it was different. The thing that sticks out the most being different is that the code boxes are highlighted.

I agree with you: that's another extremely serious flaw in the US political system that I didn't even mention because I spent so much space ranting about the filibuster.
Yeah, exactly. The concept would be to create that sort of energy in the video stream production setting familiar to lan esports where you've got the hype of a couple thousand people behind it in person. I'm absolutely convinced there's an audience for something like this, and if you were reasonably deft in how you messaged it people like Magnus would be falling all over themselves to participate just for the fun of it.

Ask HN: How should I go about having multiple employers?
I am confused with the whole notion of being an employee to one organization. The way I am looking at it, my employer is my customer. So why do I need to depend on one customer and why can't I have many to increase my source of income.

The best thing I ever did was just sit and watch people use my software. You can get very deep into theory and psychology, and that stuff is fun and useful, but at the end of the day I got learned more ROI on my time from watching people use my software than anything else I did. Ideally, you're just a fly on the wall, but even if you aren't it's still a useful data source.
Incredibly naive to assume that in the knowledge industry, you can compare two people's work.

This sounds awesome to me and some really good changes. We have these powerful devices and they are just shit in terms of what we are allowed to do. We live in the future and it has been ruined by corporations. Why can’t I play a YouTube video in safari and then open my snap and have a call with my son while listening to my song and have both of us enjoy that same song. That is just one example of I am sure hundreds of cool features that have been blocked by devices. I hope these new rules show that we deserve better devices and that no we are no where near peak technology.
>Apple stifling competition and charging exorbitant rents absolutely harms you as a consumer.

Please point to me where these harms are.

It's not about the user - it's about developers getting to do whatever they want. It's about _developers_ complaining that they can't use whatever APIs to track me. This is the same thing Facebook says when Apple rolled out opt in tracking. It was stifling facebook and it harms the facebook user experience. Can you give me an example how as a _user_ I am harmed? Replace facebook for anyone of your favorite DMPs.

Where is this competition on Android? Surely on Android there is a robust market of apps that aren't an exercise in how much fingerprintable data can they siphon off? Is the harm that I can no longer sell my data for a free flashlight app? Or is it just handwaving "harms"? It just seems on Android, there is no stifling of important industries like mobile location data.

and Lemmy, open source and reminds of HackerNews/Reddit: https://join-lemmy.org (it's quite alive over at GitHub :-) https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/graphs/contributors)

https://www.talkyard.io (also: https://www.talkyard.io/-32/how-hacker-news-can-be-improved-...)

It seems to me that companies often want forum software, sometimes internally, sometimes for customer support — on their own domain, rather than over at Reddit.

But for consumers, maybe, like others here write, it's mostly Reddit (for English speakers)?
I wouldn't be surprised if Discord eventually did a message board in its client. There's a fairly natural outgrowth there.
you're missing the point of my post. yes the computer prunes, but fundamentally it is attempting to review all possible scenarios indiscriminately as opposed to a human who is trying to make some sort of sense of the position. without work, as in developing an intuition for making sense of the game, a human looking ahead doesnt provide value.

so im not sure why you think i was trying to say humans cant move pieces around in their mind.

you also completely ignored that i was mainly addressing the scope difference of positions analyzed by a human player vs a computer, and that the talking point was someone looking "64 moves ahead" and trying to explain that no this guy did not literally see all variations 64 moves out - but that through (arguably more impressive) reasonable human ability he was able to to be accurate and confident in a decision that he had won while there was still 64 moves of depth left in the game
Advertisers. Even that revenue source mostly goes to GOOG and META. The loss of newspaper subscription dollars and classifieds revenue has hollowed out local reporting. You get what you pay for. People complain about paying for a copy.
I find it interesting that the study is only about print and TV news, since I get about 90% of my news from my state's public radio channel. I'd say that I have an extremely high confidence in both NPR and my state's local stuff.
So, politicians get voted in, raise property taxes to extort established neighborhoods into selling because they can no longer afford the government's shakedown of their residence, so the corrupt politicians' business associates can purchase the properties and rent them.
I worked at GM during the EV-1 timeframe. Although some of the people who leased an EV-1 wanted to keep their car, the general economics of mass producing cars is that you need about 50,000 people per year that want to buy a specific car model to break even. At that time, a time of all time low gas prices, there weren't 50k people/year who wanted an EV. Too few people saw the benefits and the environmental need at that time. Maybe GM could have done a better job trying to sell it. But, it's not like they didn't try, they even built a huge ride at EPCOT to promote it.

It's unfortunate that it wasn't a success, but GM didn't have some secret agreement with the oil companies (they sued them a couple years later). GM killed the EV-1 because they couldn't make money selling it. The EV game is hard. Tesla has been at it almost 20 years and they just became profitable a couple years ago. GM wouldn't sell the left over EV-1s because if they sold them, they would be legally required to stock parts for years to come, which doesn't make sense when you only have a couple hundred cars.

The EV-1 was not a conspiracy.
Agree, but I provide incentives to the supply (landlords/property mgrs) to use my app/accept my leads. I will not mention more details because it the “secret sauce”
> I recall a friend who's a history buff telling me something along the lines of non-professional soldiers often refuse to shoot their firearms, or intentionally miss, because people often don't truly want to kill.

So what is it then that explains the success delta between Intel and ARM, between Apple and Grundig, between Facebook and studiVZ, if it's not necessarily the business-friendly environment?

Uber is the prime example of get out while you're ahead. The founders cashed in and let the the $@#& pile to the rest.

The camel concept is gaining traction since they focus on profitability from the get go, healthy runway and steadily grow.
Adding a few pop-ups that almost everyone ignores or clicks at random to see them closed (I know I do) is different than having one of your main money-making ecosystems forcefully changed in a matter of a few months. (I'm thinking mostly about Apple here).

I do, because it's not actually that big of an issue. The correct answer here is "localism." What would it look like in your town? I don't know, but I don't need to. Just ensure that small groups are able to figure it out for themselves.

The real harm isn't the imaginary laziness you fear here.. It's scaled political power that allows groups to exploit others.
Spoiler: the labor laws create their own layer of bureucracy. Companies have to hire extra people to observe these laws. There have to be lawyers and courts which specialize in those laws. These laws are inefficient and get in the way on many occassions (i.e. both employer and employee would rather not have them), but you're still required to observe them. You can't make things more regulated without making it more rigid and inefficient at the same time.
Agree with your point, but I am thinking now how many people understand python part and how many bash version.

I find "Net" way more fun though for quick casual gaming, a 7x11 grid (depends on exact screen size) with wraparound enabled is a favorite for easy to tap but enough squares to make it take some time to solve (about 5 minutes per game, give or take).

MNT Reform laptops: 2022 laptops with preinstalled Plan 9
A lot of pain points in Bluetooth can be easily addressed by simple UX research:
Phones and computers try to decide when to connect to a Bluetooth device. Just giving users an option like: "Connect to this device automatically" and unchecking it by default goes a long way.

I had a Bluetooth speaker. An unknown neighbour was connected to it and there was no way for me to use this speaker, remotely, until I moved to another place.

At night, I play sleep music on my Sonos wireless speaker. If I restart my Linux laptop, it connects to the speaker's Bluetooth interface, playing an annoying sound for my sleeping wife. I should remember to disconnect from it, or my music will be played to her.

If you have a Bluetooth speaker, every time you turn it on, you have to find the phone/laptop that has connected to it, disconnect, and then connect the one that you want to use at the moment.

Makes me wonder: do designers of these products use their products in any capacity?
These end up with wildly differing figures. Somehow my purchase price is $772k, my insured price is $225k, my property tax valuation is $302k, and the market price now is either $800k or $1200k, depending on if you're asking to sell it or use it as collateral! Nobody agrees on what property is worth.
