People doing porn can now truly claim they are doing "science" by providing valuable, insightful data samples :)

It shouldn't be surprising to see quick future advances in this domain as most of the porn material is usually available free, easily scrapable and extremely low risk of copyright litigation.

IMHO, the real game-changer as with normal art will be some sort of reliable assistant tool to quickly generate various components. Further finishing touches can be then easily done in Photoshop or similar software. Sometimes along this we will probably see results in 3D art or animations.

A friend I trust quit after being at twitter only a few weeks specifically because of the atrocious lack of internal security controls. When I spoke to them the first thought I had was “this sounds like a gold mine for spies”, so this story today makes perfect sense to me.
>Happens to me a lot on Youtube too - you watch just one thing - and now your recommendations are full of things like that one thing. Or Facebook/Youtube, somehow: I watched a single video on Youtube about Viking sword fighting and suddenly my people recommendations on Facebook were at least 20% militaria fans, always visible from the profile picture already. It finally stopped but it took well over half a year.

>That's why I thought this story was about recommendation systems recommending either only narrowly what you already know, and finding something new is not really well supported or not better than random, or that one outlier can skew your recommendations for a long time.

This kind of problem is exactly why we are building alternative YouTube recommendations. Search a channel to find more channels making similar content:

Click on icons in the lists to go to that channel's list. You can "surf" along that way to discover new content.
>I think of the "state-affiliated media" tags that somehow don't apply to RFE/RL and BBC.

More importantly they don't point out things like CNN being owned by AT&T. Ever wonder why CNN doesn't cover why AT&T can be so awful? There's your answer. MSBNC is owned by this massive entertainment conglomerate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBCUniversal_Television_and_St... CBS is owned by this entertainment conglomerate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_Paramo... ABC is owned by Disney (wonder why their copyright pushing insanity is never covered negatively there?

Most people seem to assume that mainstream news is just an independent journalistic organization beholden only to itself, that truth is important, and delivering the news to the viewers are priorities. Something that is wildly untrue for almost all of them. Their corporate owned and those corporations have their own agendas that aren't aligned with the average American in the slightest.

>I think of the countless heterodox/dissident accounts that have been banned or silenced on the platform.

They banned satire accounts for wrongthink.
Having a preference is different from saying something is FUD. It's not FUD to say that there is still a lot of faith/trust required in the gap between "this app claims to be E2EE" and "this app is perfectly E2EE with no holes in an ongoing manner so my content is actually secure". Especially because it's much harder for a notes app to have encryption features like Perfect Forward Secrecy.

It is a very common pattern that an app which claims to be secure turns out not to be. In fact I would say that claim to be secure and actually live up to that are probably the exception rather than the rule.

This is why we self-host 99% of the content related to managing Supernotes (as a business) on Supernotes itself, but (a small minority of) sensitive content we keep in 1Password, which is one of the few apps I trust to have done E2EE well enough for me to feel that data is secure.

The algorythms are not public, and as the public square of present, Twitter essentially drives public discourse... especially when a large portion of the legacy media has been reduced to sourcing their stories and directly quoting from Twitter.

Secondly, private messages between people are not public either. Opening that data up or allowing it to be read or manipulated by other entities will drive a lot of outrage and the data contained within is important!

Yeah, I really had to accept the "this is forever" part of getting healthier. Sure, the calorie deficit will eventually be able to end (sort of), but the lifestyle changes that allowed the weight loss have to be forever. Eating better has to be forever. Or at least be the general case rather than something done occasionally.

I watched my grandfather decline dramatically over his last few years due to a lifelong neglect of his health and I've resolved myself to do everything in my power to try to avoid his fate.

After a decade of false starts, I really had to get to the point where I was doing it for me. Years ago would've been better, but today is better than next year. 60 pounds down in the last 9 months. Could've done more probably, but I really had to figure out a rhythm to it and learn to love it. Ironically, this time around is the first time I preserved enough to get to the point where I can recognize the positive effects. My mood is dramatically more positive after exercise, etc. I never believed I could get to that point.
Well this product is probably already healthier than actual bacon though not nearly as nutritious.
I had a similar situation (sitting in the ER absolutely needing immediate surgery at risk of death), but after a bit I called my parents, who called the surgeon, who saw me immediately (outside the hospital) and then immediately scheduled me for surgery back at the same hospital, all before I would even have been seen at an ER.

My family owns a bunch of McDonalds. Success is tied to location mostly. The product is pretty meh at best. The only products that have maintained quality are fries, coffee and coke. The rest are worse by any measure.

I disagree. Work on permissively licensed software typically has the net effect of decreasing global freedom by reducing the costs of corporations to produce proprietary software. I try to avoid contributing to permissively-licensed software when possible, and I prefer to co-operate with businesses that use free software to avoid vendor lock-in as much as possible.

Why should we all do free work for corporations? At least with the GPL you can negotiate a commercial license in exchange for money, but with a permissive license you forfeit your ability to do that.

This article accurately sums up my point of view: https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/why-i-use-the-gpl-and-not-cuc...

Also, the GPL does not require you to share the source code for programs that you do not distribute outside your company.
I believe it's more along the lines of "I'm having a conversation with you today because I value and care about you and our friendship etc; I want to be the kind of person that shows up for others and leaves people I interact with in a better place/mood/etc."

Instead of being the person not aware of their moods and carrying resentment over the smallest slights so they end up bitching about it to everyone. If one never chooses, or "vote", for the positive/uplifting inter/action, then they are "voting" to keep being the person who always has something to complain about.

Similarly, the smoking example, choose to be someone who cares about their health or the person who could not care less. Better is defined by the user. But either way, it will certainly build, or describe, the type of person they are choosing or "voting" to be.

Though, its really just stating the obvious. The more you do or don't something the more those actions become you. The "votes" on those actions don't have to be overt. It's like they were trying to find a novel way to restate the self-help quote: "Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny."

Encapsulation is a concept that is orthogonal to whether or not you use typing annotations in a language. You're conflating two completely different things and wrongly assuming that typed code is ipso facto poorly encapsulated. As most of your arguments stem from this premise, I find them very weak.

As long as Dynamic Configuration is locked behind an nginx plus-only API, these are hollow words.

This is a must have feature for todays workloads (kubernetes or just very busy webservers) in production, and nginx will likely continue to lose market share to Envoy based alternatives where everything is configured through APIs, without needing to reload the server.
The talk explains that - you could make an universal AOSP image that works on mainlined devices, so you could support the whole handful of them at this moment.

"And those are the relatively straightforward problems, to say nothing of places with high crime, bad schools or other complex societal issues."

It seems every city has areas within it with these issues. So this shouldn't affect the possibility of moving to areas that have decent schools. And there are solutions to many, like private schools can be a good option especially if the yearly cost is less than the property tax in a HCOL area.

"It doesn‘t take that many people to tighten up the housing market in a town of 10,000."

It doesn't have to be a huge influx, nor all at once. The point is that zoning is less restrictive and land is cheaper, so people can build. The depressed areas have relatively high vacancies anyways.

"Employers want to be where their clients and employees will be, residents want to be in a place with decent shops and services."

Some people want nature. Shops aren't as much of a concern today with internet delivery. I find it highly suspect that people all want exactly the same thing. It might be more likely that the people in one group are just being left behind.
In the future, when the machine learning algorithms begin to gain sentience, the AI generated porn of the future will be start training humans, or using HLI (Human Learning Models).

America is a democracy and people should ask for public transport if they hate commuting so much. Which is interesting because people seem to hate driving but also not willing to demand better public transport.

Such a conundrum.

Interestingly, it seems working from home has largely killed the demand and focus on self-driving cars. I'm sure people are still working on it, but it definitely feels less important, at least on HN :)
This is a question of pure ignorance at this layer, but is or why isn't there a standard for drivers that can follow a similar way of building an interface? Or maybe its not even possible due to entirely different purposes of the device.
Even more worryingly is that London has some of the fastest response times in the country.

Last two times I had to call 999, for ambulance and police respectively, I was on hold for more than 5 minutes before even being connected to an operator. The overall ambulance target response time is 8 minutes.

You could even use rocket fuel-based drones for the superior range, speed and efficiency compared to electrical motors or jet engines.

This is definitely addressed in the article. The relevant bits talk about moving features from the commercial version to the open source version, as well as the introduction of an open source nginx agent that can do the "dynamic config" on your behalf (via API I presume).

I agree with your sentiment though! I hope they do follow through as nginx is generally an easy sell to others when trying to fill holes in your tech stack and otherwise pretty bulletproof.
Not all of us live in Pakistan. I don’t have a TV at home so have to go to my cousin’s house few miles away who gets ARY on satellite. Only just today did I hear about the Secrets Act case from some people at school who had just come from Pak. My cousin did say some stuff about US conspiracy but he and his dad always say that.

You're probably thinking of a few big consulting companies who by no means represent the best and brightest and are just resume fodder for many others. The turnover at these places is awful.

Just one example, a lot of target's tech seems to be developed in their Bangalore office: https://india.target.com/work/teams/targettech. Hard to tell how much, but I imagine that being a significantly better workplace than Accenture. I hope one of their developers sees this and can clarify the extent their team works on the app/sites.
> Well I guess we’ve ticked the box on rule 34 for ML gents

It was only a matter of time, but yeah, I thought the same. The internet is pretty predictable, when deepfakes images were a thing I thought it wouldn't be long before they used the fappening images to make videos and after that ML designed specifically for this would soon follow.

Porn has always driven much of tech, so its nor surprising, either.
It's pretty bold for literally any blog like any any blog wsj.com nytimes.com bloomberg.com any any blog to call itself news.

Maybe aggregators. So long as it's a square joint, and there's human moderation with criterio, can't translate that word really, means judgment, but special kind. Something like independent thinking and unhackability. Like what? Like here, really. And even then it shoots its own credibility in the foot with the first word, "Hacker" in "Hacker News". Even journalists are now aware "hacker" for "cracker" is derogatory.[1] In the newsroom. In New York Times for one.

Hey and it even owns hackernews.com now. That's good cred[ibility].

[1] Although "cracker" is already a slur for European Americans so it's saturated...but different. And the whole thing with slurs is it's about [thought-controlling, provoking, accusing and blaming but at any rate brutally] policing European Americans. It est [i.e. or ie] whites. Like myself. Not sure this gets flagged without me saying "flagged". Even then, who knows. Like even in court this one woman was arguing she wasn't a terrorist judge had to haul her to the curb quoting a terrorist tweet promoting genocide of whites. Even then it didn't completely close the case, just a hiccup in her tempo. That's it, nothing happens.
This could have been a reasonable analogy if a very significant chunk of applications "for Linux" only worked (or offered its full functionality) if you had Red Hat's proprietary addons installed.

And Arm64 version of .NET Framework (4.8.1). .NET Framework is considered legacy and 4.8 was supposed to be the final version. Not sure whether it means they foresee faster Windows-on-ARM adoption. Or slower .NET Framework to .NET Core transition. Or both.
I would put it in a more positive light. Long ago, nginx was excellent providing way more than Apache or other alternatives. Then they added features which were pretty advanced and uncommon behind a pay wall.

Many of those features have gone from fancy to expected, and they transitioned too late to making them open source.

The free product went through a slow decline from excellent to artificially crippled, and they’re changing course, which should be applauded. On top of that they didn’t take away features to cripple their product for money, just what is basically necessary these days is so much more than it was years ago.

Payment mechanism for, for example:

Open p2p messaging protocols on the Internet

Open p2p storage protocols on the Internet

In other words, Ethereum at its core provides an open p2p consensus protocol on the Internet that provides a mechanism for transferring fractional/units of value between accounts. It can/does provide for much more than that given its Smart contracts facility (supporting critical contract-state changes that also require consensus), but that's the heart of it.

Open p2p Consensus + Storage + Messaging == Web3

The base-layer consensus protocol that is Ethereum can be used as a substrate for the economic incentives of other open p2p protocols (i.e. not a blockchain protocols), providing strong guarantees of transaction finality.

Also, Canva is more value aligned with me; I’m biased of course. But it’s worth raising in case you’re interested: the company is committed to promoting and pursuing sustainability where it can:
