This is an interesting approach, I think exclusivity was previously a bit of a strong point they had.
Great, then I say AI art is real art.
Right. It is not, however, on Privacy Badger's blacklist. And it takes quite a few clicks to put it there in the latest version of Privacy Badger. Did Google pay off the EFF, or what?
I was at UIUC shortly after he graduated and the general impression was that he basically just stole Mosaic from the University to create Netscape. Not sure that bestows him with any tech legitimacy. He's certainly a good businessman.
What a sad frightened person you must be.
It's not even about bringing something worth 50%, you will often find at that early stage even having someone who brings 35% value while working as a team is worth giving 50% stake cause startups are so hard. It's usually down to owning 100% of nothing or 50% of something in those situation.
Negative reps (lowering dumbbell) is often overlooked in weight lifting. I see people trying to lift fast but have bad form. Negatives are where real strength and muscle is built. See: Dorian Yates.

Cadillac went away from tactile controls in 2012 and they reversed their course in the following generation. People think it is what they want, until they have to live with it. The automakers are happy to oblige since virtually every dept loves them for different reasons.

That kind of makes them sound like heroes, but a quick scan of their wikipedia articles makes me think that's probably not the case...
Euro doctors are significantly underpaid. Euro knows this and the reason you don’t see doctors coming to the USA is that the medical board would require them to retest. Indian doctors don’t mind so they come over and study again.

My hope is the USA changes the law so doctors from Western Europe countries can freely emigrate to the USA and practice for significantly more money. There’s no reason the USA shouldn’t drain Europe of this talent by offering far more money to these workers.
IMO it sounds high but not ridiculous for the Bay Area but I'm not familiar with market rates in Europe. A few thoughts generally:

1) Did you raise enough money to afford this? Does it meaningfully decrease burn? 2) If you think of this person as a key hire instead of a founder are they worth the high salary + high equity?
3) Are your VC's OK with it?
4) If you require much less salary you can may be able to use it as a negotiation point to change your equity split
5) One argument for paying comfortable salaries is it allows founders to be more long-term minded and to ignore early exists. There's a sense in which being broke makes you irrational so not having your exec team worry about personal finances could be a good thing for the business.

Good luck with this! negotiations between business partners are always tough.
US sanctioning an Ethereum contract address and unrelated source control providers deleting user accounts and repositories is a good example of chilling effect in action. The individual developers are not in scope of the sanctions, and are not sanctioned entities. Not even the source code or its many individual repositories are directly sanctioned, but chilling effect is leading hosting services to erase it all as a precaution.

These two words have the same root and etymology. The adjective "private" is transformed into a noun using the abstract noun suffix, "cy," to become "privacy." These two words have the same word root dressed as different parts of speech.

I had a family friend in the 90s who had a small team of friends who would keep track of progressive slots all over America. When the jackpot got big enough that they knew they could win it by going and pumping cash into the machines non stop, they would all book tickets and just sit in casinos for sometimes days straight pumping away.

What annoys me the most about Fukushima is that 19,747 people died in that event. Mostly by drowning. None in the nuclear accident.

Sometimes dev and prod go in different directions so it makes more sense to inherit a common file. For example, dev might have a whole bunch of settings for some debug tool whereas prod might have a whole bunch of settings for the email server config.
I'm struggling to reconcile these two:

https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/ford-f150-lightning-elect...
-- "the towing range of the electric F-150 is dismal." (~100 miles)

https://www.theverge.com/23307298/ford-f-150-lightning-revie...
-- "Happily, the F-150 Lightning is a terrific F-150 — and a terrific truck. If you can find one to buy for a reasonable price and you’ve got a handle on charging for how you’ll use it, it’s clearly a better choice than a gas-powered truck."

So... what exactly does The Verge think that a pickup truck is used for? Spoiler alert: if they think it's for running the kids to soccer practice, occasionally moving some plants or lawn furniture, showing off your bling around town, or coping with thinning hair and loss of libido at midlife, there are far better EV options. And for those who are going to argue that the 100-mile range isn't an issue, even if your time is worth nothing, try getting a truck towing a camper into a typical service station parking lot some time. Once every 5+ hours is plenty, thanks.

I'm all for EVs, and I'm certain they're the future of the automotive industry. I'm also certain that Ford has a long way to go before I'll even consider swapping my 35-year-old diesel F-250 HD for an electric hauling rig(1). Finally, based on the article, I'm fairly certain that the last thing the good editors at The Verge towed was a Radio Flyer.

(Note 1: for those breaking out in a rash, I use the F-250 about once a month and it runs WVO. The daily driver is something with a much smaller carbon footprint.)
Saving $100 worth of knobs on a $100k vehicle can't be the motivation.

They're probably far more envious of the ability to put the air conditioner behind a monthly subscription vja remote software update, or render the entire vehicle useless with a 'security' update that makes 10yo cars too unresponsive to use
You're comparing a reserve-currency central bank to one on the periphery. Thought about this for a while. That seems your singular mistake.
You run a regression on the value of all the improvements, then subtract that from the sale price to get the value of the unimproved land. Smooth that over the per-square-foot value of neighboring properties and you can have a pretty good estimate of for the unimproved value of the land.

If you have a hundred thousand properties to collect data on, you can get a pretty good idea of "a 3BR unit increases the value of the property this much, a 2BR unit increases it by this much, X feet in height result in this change in value, per parking space the value increases by this much". Sophisticated real-estate investors and the banks that fund them are running this calculation anyway, that's how they know which properties are good deals. Once you have a formula for this, you plug in the stats of the property in question to figure out the value of the improvements, and then the unimproved value of the land is everything left over.
This. Corporations are great at imposing mean-spirited personal accountability (i.e., if you're perceived to have fucked up, you get fucked) but that doesn't actually solve problems or change anything. People get fired, careers end, new faces replace the old, nothing gets learned. Of course, once you get into middle management you're exempted from the stack-ranking bukkake, and executives write their own performance reviews and almost never face consequences for their actions.

Companies are fantastic at making it look like accountability exists, because people at the bottom get punished for even the smallest mistakes, but avoiding any consequences that would affect high-ranking members or force the organization to change how it does business.

Well, as TFA and the comment you replied to point out, the bar for AI-generated art isn't to compete with top-tier human talent. There are many other use-cases.

> The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

Is not a valid comparison to any commercially operating nuclear plant. The Chernobyl accident was the result of an insane government (the Soviet Union) building an insane reactor design (positive void coefficient of reactivity--no other reactor built by any other country has ever done this) and letting its poorly trained operators run uncontrolled experiments on it at high power levels. The obvious way to avoid such an event is not to do all those insane things. It is not valid to treat that insane event as any kind of benchmark of what is possible with commercial nuclear power as run by reasonably sane societies (i.e., every one on the planet except the former Soviet Union--even Communist China isn't stupid enough or ruthless enough to try something like this).
Suddenly, all non-urban space in the US becomes farmland.

And when considering the librarian analogy:

“As the trial judge found, navigating the Web can be a challenge. Search engines assist in that process. But the analogy drawn by her Honour between a search result and a librarian handing over to a library user a book marked at a particular page is problematic, not the least because a search result is only one of a number of responses to an enquiry, as was the case here. Properly understood, a search result conveys to the person searching that they may be interested in one or more of the results. The person is not directed to a particular result, as the Court of Appeal implied. According to the trial judge's findings, results are ranked by the use of an algorithm having regard to relevance using "signals" or clues as to what the person searching is looking for according to the words used in their enquiry. The search result merely refers, in the sense of drawing attention, to a webpage. As Abella J pointed out in Crookes v Newton 68 , there is a difference between drawing a person's attention to the existence of an article and communicating its content. And whilst it may be said that the use of a hyperlink may mean The Age gains a reader, that does not make the appellant something other than a reference provider.

The respondent submitted that the Search Result had the added feature, to which the Court of Appeal referred, that by its terms it "enticed" the person searching to open the webpage. It is difficult to see how this level of excitement could be said to be generated by the words of the Search Result. Moreover, it needs to be borne in mind that the person has already activated a search for particular information before the result is received. As is the case with any search result, a person will employ the hyperlink if they think the webpage to which they are directed may provide the information they seek. It is notable that the respondent also submitted that the decisions of the New York courts should also be seen as involving "enticement". In doing so the respondent appears to equate "entice" with "call attention to".” [¶50-51]
> I think it’s time to point out some good things about AI art. The first and biggest is that art will now be cheap and available.

Taking something previously rare and valuable and making it cheap and available and showering it upon people like rolls of toilet paper doesn't bring happiness imo. It reminds me of this story by Ryunosuke Akutagawa I once read, titled 'Yam Gruel'. Basically a peasant looks forward to a yearly bowl of yam gruel which to him is precious and rare. But as a cruel joke he is invited to a dinner by a noble expressly to be served unlimited supply of yam gruel, and from then on he can never enjoy it again.
People are way more afraid of "secret silent invisible" killers than they are of "massive wall of water that wipes out everything in its path."

If they weren't recirculating water downstream the river wouldn't be heating up at all. In France it's due to limits on river temperature: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/warming-rivers-threa...

Because apparently letting a river get above 28 degrees for a few kilometers is worth pumping more carbon dioxide into the air.
There is no immediate problem with building from source, there simply isn't much of a benefit to doing so. An assembly compiled with different optimizing C# compilers will be virtually identical assuming the source files are identical. I can think of a reason not to compile from source: it's essentially statically linking code into your assembly which can be huge problem for middleware packages that want to override the specific version you depend on. This is very common with the JSON serialization library, which is highly backwards compatible.

I think historically in the .NET world, package consumers have expected pre-compiled assemblies and not source code and so that's what the ecosystem has developed around.

> On the other hand, MT is enabling communication among people that was not possible or practical before. A small start-up is able to find customers and suppliers in countries with different languages. People with common interests but diverse languages are able to chat and share ideas on social media. A person receives an e-mail from a long-lost relative in a language the recipient doesn’t know; MT enables them to correspond and eventually meet up. Little of that communication would be taking place if a human translator had to be found and paid for each interaction.

Yep. I translated tens of KWords between English and Polish by now - thanks to Deepl, which speeds this up by at least an order of magnitude (and the end result is probably better too).

I even planned to translate a book only available in Polish ([this one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_Imperfection)) - I translated about 3% already, but unfortunately the author didn't consent to sharing the translation anywhere - which is annoying, because original (Polish) text is freely available on libgen. And English version doesn't exist. And the book is 18 years old at this point. So the potentially lost profits are negligible or nil. Meh.

The empirical changes are not very low. Assuming each plant has a uniform probability of failing once every 10,000 years, that comes out to an accident once every ~50 years in one of the ~500 nuclear power plants on Earth.

> Why should artists be able to spend their time doing exactly what they want while all the boring plebs have to pick vegetables/write CRUD apps?

And why do these "boring pleb jobs" exist? Why doesn’t everyone create and share their creations? This isn’t limited to art. Consider the inventor of insulin sold the patent for $1 because he believed “Insulin belongs to the world, not to me.” Anyone who creates from the heart, artists scientists or otherwise, should be the gold standard that all humans live by. If everyone lived this way, then there would be no need for busy work jobs.

I honestly think having an underpowered low-spec SoC is a huge problem. Sure, if you have top programmers who have experience writing low-level code and best in practice algorithms and data structures for speed you can get that low-spec SoC to have a good experience. But, I think the odds of you getting/retaining, and finding more of those types of programmers is low. So soon you have some programmers trying to cram python or javascript or lua in the underpowered SoC and using Qt or some other wholly inappropriate high-level API and then you end up with those gas station gas pump computers that take 3-9 seconds to respond to single clicks.

Of course having high-powered SoCs won't guarantee you'll get performant displays either but I think have low-powered ones generally guarantees failure except for maybe some initial small team of experts.

> Fukushima is still a thing

There's an easy way to avoid future Fukushimas that has nothing to do with any change in nuclear reactor design: don't site your backup power switchgear in a place that could get inundated with water. (Note that all of the other reactors at the Fukushima site had this--and none of them had any problems after the earthquake and tsunami.)

"Ticking time bombs" is not a valid description of any commercial nuclear plant. Building newer, safer designs in the future is great, but even without considering any of those designs, nuclear energy is by far the safest form of energy per unit of energy generated. Imagine if we had been smart in the 1970s and 1980s and started building nuclear reactors everywhere to replace coal and oil. We could be in a position now where no fossil fuels needed to be burned anywhere on the planet. To deny ourselves this because "Fukushima!" is foolish.

It's a good thing you don't own your neighborhood then I guess.
Yeah, it's only okay to spread ideas that contradict the big central health authorities on the big central platform if it's part of a profitable arrangement. Its volatility and controversy, plus some peoples' need to hear and believe a certain flavour of narrative make it inevitable anyways. Think of it as a fire where the attention can be fueled, harnessed, and used to drive an otherwise inactive engine. The same goes for race politics, religious intolerance, drama, etc. Shouldn't matter to a competent attention economist which sides are wrong or right and why, only that they are susceptible to attending to this particular configuration.
Yet, everyone near an oil well/mineral deposit/coal seam is willing to bend over backwards to frack/drill/strip-mine/have an entire generation of people end up with black lung/poison the water of a native population/just outright displace it.

Why do you think that is?

(The answer, of course, is money. Nobody gets rich storing nuclear waste, but extracting mineral resources is a money printer - especially when you aren't saddled with the long-term consequences.)
Records do. You need Lombok for very specific things. JPA, etc. If you use JPA then the benefits and capabilities far outweigh any boilerplate or dynamic runtime overhead.

It can't be called a random/pseudorandom number generator. That was disproved decades ago.

How could anyone accidentally use this?

What libraries call it random?

It is a bug/security issue and should be fixed.

I'll add in that sculpture too might see challenge, thought it's materials might see resistance for some time. 3d Printing is already at a state where the output is of extremely high detail, and still on it's ascent (resin printing specifically). While not a like-for-like comparison, it's seen heavy use in favor of traditional sculpting in multiple industries, such as miniature production, where it completely replaces or heavily reduces the use of the traditional skillset.
There are ancient forms found in Linear B that have to be preserved in some sections of the Iliad to preserve the dactylic hexameter, like wanax. This gives more credence to a continuity of the Greek language from the Mycenaean Bronze Age
