I got tired of worrying about third party image hosting providers and every self-hosted solution was either lacking features or was too bloated for my needs, so I build another one: https://github.com/karasevm/personal-gallery-node (there are gifs showcasing some of the features in the readme).

It support uploading jpg, png, gif, webp, webm, mp4 with drag-and-drop, through file picker, API, ShareX (with ready to use configs), and through Android share feature, if installed as a PWA.

The performance may not be the best, but my Pi2 handles it without issues.

I wanted to put up a demo before sharing it, and there's still no demo, but it's quick to try out with docker (but it can also just run through node if you want that for some reason).
The Ideological Turing Test (2011)
Every time I've been to an art museum (and this is a handful, not just SFMOMA), there has been a person or two in a room with some, well, art hanging on the wall. They had notebook of the appropriate paper medium and art supplies and were copying the existing work.

This is not something new. https://www.realistartresource.com/the-tradition-of-copying

Copying of existing works is part of how an art student learns. That this one happens to be a math model at its core is an interesting philosophical problem. The other people's work to serve as your training set is exactly what art students do - and the works they copied and the works that they have yet to produce are not royalty encumbered.

Nor should a mathematical model. It happens that the developers working on this problem have gotten it so that it can do its learning and creation many times faster than an art student in a gallery... but it still can't get hands and faces right.

News to me! I guess it's so secret I've forgotten it!

I guess that falls in the category of 'rumours of the existence of a thing that doesn't exist and is embarrassing'. Obviously it's very hard to disprove such a rumour, but it is quite easy to just say "I don't care, and you shouldn't either" as a response.
Got some links? A quick search of the blog turned up nothing besides a quick mention here: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/pragmatic-engineer-test/
I'm interested in how these compare to quality Chinese tools like Harbor Freight's ICON line.
that's the end goal, de-comoditization is the means to that goal.
I followed microtrailers, it was awesome getting the brief snippets of EVERYTHING. I hadn't seen that you'd made a new one until now, definitely giving that one a follow!
I don't believe they are framing it as if it is not art. The problem they are raising and that it is an AI trained on other peoples' art down to copying their signature making it appear as if it were a genuine piece from that artist and of course yes, they are concerned that they are watching their career die in real time because of it.
All of what you say makes sense.

One option, I suppose, is take the gig and work it for a year, while working on finding a better one during that time.

I really don't like the idea of having a third party in the mix, for the same reason I wouldn't want a third party moderating my relationship with my partner.

I also think burdening the business relationship with 25 - 30% overhead isn't helpful. Yet like you say, if the deal meets my financial constraints, why should I care?

Thanks for the help.

A combination todo list and calendar. It lets you schedule your tasks and keeps track of how much time you're spending/have spent on various tasks.

Also has support for recurring tasks like gym, etc.

I may get back to it someday.
They can do that, but are they actually doing that?
Even as someone who believes in the blockchain, its a little rich to pose it as a counter to Big Tech.

Its already being centralized and co-opted by the big guys.

@hackernews guys: This is the first time in a very long time that I have received so many nice comments. Thank you. I will try to answer the questions as soon as I can.
think of it like this: the margin the staffing agency is charging is the cost-of-discovery for both the supplier (you) and the client (end employer). Seems like this is a great fit - in a market with imperfect information, what are the chances of you two both being able to find each other? The end client has saved on advertising costs, you have saved on having to look at those adverts. Unless the margin is egregious - and you get the rate you're happy with - I don't see any problem
Investors make a speculative bet that the people involved will make things work. They also generally understand the risks associated with it and are willing to do it despite that because they think there’s a meaningful non-0 chance of success.

I think with fusion investors would be thinking about generational ROI (20-40 years) instead of 5-10 years.

What I don’t understand is why there isn’t a similar push to really shake things up with fission. Our current power mix will take a century or so to replace. Fission should be a MUCH faster path.
Just wanted to say, that's a great story, and you should tell it often.
leave?

also, the complaint can be perfectly valid and important without having any solutions for it. many times employees don't have the knowledge needed to know what are the possible solutions.

but individually their solution is to go where their needs are met (as much as possible of course)
Not really. A direct hit by a CME from the Sun would probably seriously damage a fusion plant. Magnets would need to be replaced along with a lot of electrical equipment.
A really fast front end testing library, that had one function which just ran tests on the browser.

Tests are just objects where the labels are the names of the tests, and the tests themselves are thunks that return {actual: foo, expected: bar}. These can be arbitrarily nested. No stupid "describe" functions.

I made it because it was easier to make my own little tool than to deal with things like jest or mocha. I sometimes think I should market it - but what's the point?
The musl resolver also lacks "no-aaaa" which glibc grew a week or two ago.
Uncommon by all uses of shared libraries maybe, but certainly not uncommon for security-oriented libraries. A couple times per year is WAY more than often enough to be worth shared libraries, as otherwise you're talking about rebuilding much of the world multiple times per year per security-oriented library.

And nearly all libraries eventually become "security-oriented libraries", given enough time. Everything is a hacking target eventually.
I am a working digital artist, my personal feed is filled with takes like this. I understand the crisis that artists go through currently and I understand their emotions. I've personally made peace with it already, but it will take time for everyone and there will be a lot of concern, rage and bargaining in the process.

All of us artists woke up in the world where the thing we were learning to produce all of our lives became 100x cheaper. I've been kinda waiting for this to happen for truck drivers or translators and was honestly surprised that it got to the artists first. But, there's nothing to do now.

There will be a lot of takes trying different ways to deny this reality. Like if we agree that this thing is immoral or anti-cultural it will go away and our potential customers will forget about it. I think that it's a waste of time
The industry is not completely gone, but it will go though a massive transformation. The basic hierarchy of artists will probably stay the same - people who were good in the pre-ai era will still be good working with the ai. If you've learned your basic skills right - they will still work.

I've personally already changed my workflow to use ai art for the sketches, ideas and references. And then polish them to commercial level using my old experience and skills. It's funny how this thing is so new, but I've gotten so used to it that it's already hard for me to come back to my old set of tools. And I do recommend all other artists to do the same and to try to find their place in the new reality - it really seems like there's no other way.
Some films (and a lot of TV shows in the 80s/90s) often got the angle of the projection wrong as well, so there's an obvious miss-match between the perspective of the interior of the car and the outside... i.e. the angle of the camera in the car is roughly horizontal, but the projection is looking upwards towards the sky at around 10/15 degrees.

Another obvious (when you know what you're looking for) tell-tale if the projection is better, is the light direction / shadows within the car compared to what the car's doing: car turns left 90 degrees, but oh no, the sun's still coming from the same direction as before...
Yes, but it’s a little bit of both because there’s a feedback loop in the demand for a product and the expertise and attitude of a local industry.
Part of me is imagining ‘tell the truth and not be fired’ to involve some kind of Yes Minister strategy like the Rhodesia solution.

But more realistically, most modern tech companies are going to want to not fire people for telling the truth or more generally speaking their minds, and individuals can often have a bigger impact than they would imagine. It doesn’t really make sense for a reasonably well run company to ignore such things from employees they clearly think are valuable.

That said, there are still exceptions, e.g. labour activism in the US is probably a good way to get fired (with a nice big severance), and if you work at Boeing and write some email like ‘this plane is designed by clowns and I won’t let my family fly in it’ (or perhaps even just reasonable concerns) that is also bad (because that email will show up in court if there’s an accident and you can’t say ‘we want to have a workplace where all engineers can raise concerns about the safety of our planes’ – better to just not do it over email, which is a bit of a silly incentive)
Sometimes there is no good decision, and empowering the underlings to make it is best term for everyone.

That is a remarkably pedantic take on the situation, no?

Difficult tasks are difficult. Difficult tasks take time.

A credible indicator that they have achieved something significant is the widespread acclaim they have received from the global physics and fusion communities.

Repeatability isn’t the only tool in science and nobody is claiming reproducibility isn’t a goal.

If five years from now nobody can reproduce the results, people will take notice. But the evidence is they did what they think they did.
Those are all solutions to problems the Dymaxion car didn't have?

The main complaints of the Car Talk article are the awful handling resulting from rear wheel steering (giving a bad caster angle resulting in no self-centering-- all modern tricycle motor vehicles put the steer tires at the front, even if it complicates the linkages) and the aerodynamic shape that resulted in a large car with surprisingly little usable interior room. (a classic Buckminster problem, as this is still the big downside of geodesic domes)

All the big compromises of the Dymaxion car came from the shape, which let it hit a drag coefficient of 0.25. But modern car engineering has simply passed it by: a Prius is 0.24 and a Model S is 0.208. There's no reason to accept the downsides of a Dymaxion car today, which is why nobody ever copied the design.
There was no "multi territory", it was a shitty startup with a bunch of people sitting in a room and sharing the office with another startup that was also owned by kinnevik (swedish VC). It was set up that way to not pay taxes in case it would ever make money.

As a hobbyist artist my main concern is less the automation will replace artist as much as that 99% of that automation will come from the 3 companies with deep enough coffers to train and run the most complex AIs, and 2 of those companies will be FAANGs. Ultimately it will be a future where instead of paying an artist X amount for decent art with the artist getting a ~7% margin, it will be paying 90% of X to a monopolistic tech company for almost decent art with the company's CEO getting a 70% margin
Thing is a customer is willing to pay disproportionately more for a "reliable" country of origin, brand, whatever - so you can afford to throw in better components/QC on top of higher labor cost etc.

Many things are this way - you don't pay premium price for a budget brand even if they end up performing the same as premium brand.

Also you don't outsource production to China to get better quality, you outsource to cut cost - that always leads to worse products down the line.
If you ever try to get something built in China, you really need to know what you're doing, or the manufacturer will violate your specs all over the place in order to profit an extra 1/10th of a cent per unit.

But, big companies don't really have that excuse, because they should know what they're doing.

Performance, generally much faster. But they are approaching the problem from different perspectives. Nlohmann focuses on an owning dom like value, JSON Link focuses on parsing into user data structures, but has the ability to mix with a non owning pull parser when if makes sense.

I haven’t added it to that bench but it does it in about 4ms for the 3 files
DMV doesn't care who pays it. They won't process the title transfer of the car as long as there're unpaid taxes or fines. Imagine I've already paid the money to make the purchase, and later going to DMV to transfer the car title but find out I couldn't due to unpaid fines. What could I do? Either paid the outstanding fines or sued the owner to revert the sale. Headaches all around. I didn't go through with the purchase at the end.

I talked to another car dealer and asked him about it. He said this kind of car was usually sold to people in another states, where their DMV won't enforce California's taxes and fines.

The lesson here is be sure to check for a clear title on the car, including DMV fees and fines, before making a purchase.
Why? With their loyal fandom, they could put ads into every part of iPhone and there would still be millions running around telling everyone how those Ads are improving their lives and Apple helped them live their life.

Ads are coming to iOS (heck, my iPad and Mac already have quite a bit peppered around) and Apple will earn even more money in the future from them.

The early internet definitely wasn't used primarily for scams. I'm sure there were a few scammers around in those days (who multiplied with the dot-com boom), but primarily? Definitely not.
Unicode-standardized emojis are not what Apple ships.

Apple (and Microsoft, and Android, and Samsung, and...) ship designs based on standardized Unicode descriptions of emojis.

There's a reason Emojipedia lists multiple designs for each emoji. See e.g. https://emojipedia.org/grinning-face/

Edit: Gun is a better example, https://emojipedia.org/pistol/
People bashing distributions seem to ignore that the alternative is the google play store.

I think the concern is fully justified. Those still being skeptical of AI art fail to understand exponential progress. Usage of various algorithms is about to explode, feeding back billions of signals to correct the model.

A second or third generation model may really understand relations between objects, depth, lighting, etc.

It's both amazing and scary. A little behind the curve, but expect similar developments in music generation.

Given the speed of all of this, the socio-economic discussion on AI should really get prioritized, as very little cognitive work is going to be safe.

Wouldn't call recursive lambdas a feature, more like 4chan for C++ devs
Ha, yes, I feel many artists have been hacking away at styles that look good pretty much whatever you throw at them. There's a few tricks, and one you get it, you can produce stuff that looks great quickly and easily. It's not surprising these can be imitated by AI.

I do lattice QCD. It's not that we have a problem because of float/double inexact and limited arithmetic. It's that we have a finite amount of RAM.

So the thing we'd want is not continuous values but continuous registers. Maybe this is possible with some very clever engineering but I'd wager that your computation will develop other problems, such as thermal noise causing problems (whereas digital computers have error correction).
There's a comment voted to death about phones showing ads. Remember when Google's selling point was that their home page just had a search interface and not like e.g Yahoo, a homepage "portal" full of celebrity, etc, news? I got a new Android phone recently, you can swipe left from the home screen to get the Google search, and there "Google Discover" is active, and it has celebrity, etc, news. Even the search suggestion drop down is to show what searches are trending. I share the dead comment's sentiment of needing curse words.

It feels like everything is so user hostile nowadays, even the Google keyboard nag you to give them a Play Store star-rating and review. Or they interrupt you with a spammy notification that asks you to tell your friends about them... (Insert more curse words here).

Maybe I should start a SaaS that will offer IoT device manufacturers a way to spam their owners to rate them on the appropriate store. You touch the fridge door, it doesn't budge, and the screen lights up: "Before you get your milk, do you like your fridge? Please rate us 5 stars on the Walmart store!"

I was tired of not finding any recruitment portals for product people and the affiliated work pipelines.

I added a bit of gamification with the play on words but haven’t marketed it, as I just figure everyone else likes LinkedIn.

I personally feel LinkedIn is a cesspool on fire in it’s current state, so I’ve just given up there.

Pick what I like and work on that. As long as there are operating systems, there will be work for C developers. Nobody's going to rewrite Linux in Rust within our lifetime. Or if they do, it'll take long enough that we can learn along with it.
> Workers in socialist systems are inundated in propaganda in ways that would make the most ardent Fox News producer blush.

This is ignoring the fact that not all workers in our economy are working for a for profit capitalist entity. There are non-profits, there are co-ops, there are even state corporations and institutions that employ millions of people. I’m not aware of any propaganda these workers are exposed to which workers in a for-profit capitalist organizations aren’t.

In fact the for-profit organizations I’ve worked for has many many mandatory “meetings” which only purpose seems to be to tout the superiority of that corporation, and spout propaganda on how much better it is to work there. The state provided jobs I’ve worked at don’t do this.
One could also draw an inference about readers, rather than writers.
Nicely done! I love the design. And now I learned about the Tenkile in Papua New Guinea :-).
Yes, many of us will turn into cowards when automation starts to touch our work, but that would not prove this sentiment incorrect - only that we're cowards.

When Covid started I wasn't able to buy any facemasks, I've had a newborn and was quite stressed to get them from somewhere. I didn't want to use eBay like website, which sold them with a huge markup.
I've cobbled together a scraper that would check many of the biggest home depot-like stores in my country. It'd then sent an email to me, with how many facemasks were available in any given store along with contact information. I've configured my phone to notify on email arrival from that address. I've run it as a job on my NAS.
It was interesting to learn that even though I was getting information on these masks arriving to the store few seconds after they have been inserted into the system. When I called the shop - masks were already gone. In the end I did manage to get some using this approach, and I was happy it worked.
I have a soft spot for bun because I like zig so much.

But the key attraction of deno for me is being able to delete node_modules, package.json, package-lock.json etc etc. I don't want to bring them back.
Those experiments and supercomputer modelling is what allowed US to get sub-10kt nukes without actual testing. Credible promise of responding with those small nukes directly against Russian regime is what stopped Putin's threat of using nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Wrt. inertial confinement fusion productization I think the delay is intentional (just look at Sandia z-machine results from 20+ years ago and all the ways of tempering and redirecting progress since then there) as such schemes allow for fusion weapons without fission primary which will completely break the non-proliferation regime.
