Thanks for answering. Since you mentioned your work on text-to-3d, what are the ways to enhance the image/3d model to actually be photo-(or rather reality)-realistic? Even (presumably) hand-picked examples from google on the linked page lack support bars of the sunglasses, include floating cups of wine with base-less Eiffel tower in the background.

P.S. It seems raccoons are unimaginable (even for AI) with any sunglasses: if photo-realistic mode is selected for a raccoon, changing to "wearing a sunglasses and" makes no difference :)
I agree that it doesn’t make sense to let some institution define what open source is.

In the end for open source to be open source it should be publicly accessible.

Anything else should be defined in the license as the maintainer/creator wishes.
Youtube definitely holds content back in a strategic way. After I go down the rabbit hole on a channel, and watch all the recommended videos in order (there's always one video from the same channel in recommended), I've seen most of the good videos that channel has to offer. But, some fraction of the deep dive content is held back and drip-fed over a period of months/years. It's incredibly habit-forming. Pretty sure the algorithm also shows better stuff to people who are returning from a break. Our brains pay more attention to the beginning/end of experiences, and are fine with dreck in the middle.

> but also because GPUs (the processors that run graphics cards) are really efficient for cryptocurrency mining. Wannabe Bitcoin barons have been snapping graphics cards of all kinds and driving prices to ridiculous levels.

Not Bitcoin, but Ethereum. Several years ago people have stopped using graphic cards to mine Bitcoin, and instead use dedicated ASICs.
In that case it's very plausible that none of that is copyrightable in the first place, because copyright requires human activity.

That's what caused the monkey picture hubbub. Since apparently the monkey made its own picture, nobody has the copyright of that, and it's in the public domain. This was even though the artist tried to make the case that they engineered the situation itself by placing camera equipment such that a selfie was likely to happen.

It's also well established that collection of facts and works devoid of human creativity are not copyrightable. So for instance an alphabetical list of businesses in a given city, or feeding a classical painting through a scanner are not copyrightable.

So there's a very plausible argument to be made that unless a human is heavily involved in generating the specific artwork, it's just in the public domain. The actual code would be protected, but the randomly generated results are extremely likely to be in the public domain.

Now this is still an area in doubt and I think it's plausible that some of them are copyrightable. If you spent 3 hours trying to get Dalle2 to spit out the exact thing you want, and tweaked stuff a hundred times, that might be enough human input and you might own the copyright of that. But that's just a guess, and so far nobody knows how it will go, and what requirements a court dealing with this issue will devise.

So IMO for the time being artists shouldn't put rely too much on selling generative artwork, because it could well turn out that it'd be completely legal for me to use all the images on FXhash for any purpose I wish without paying a cent for it.
I mean, there exist hundreds of pirate TV/Movie streaming websites with huge catalogs that manage to serve HD video streaming to scores of people at once.

If they can do it while being constantly hounded by publishers and DRM enforcers who have unlimited money and drive to strike them down, a random smart group of people can do it too.
~70% of the information survived though:

Ultimately, the report found that 799 literary tales out of an original 1,170 are still around today. It also found that those stories were written down in a total of 40,614 manuscripts, but only 3,648 of those have survived.

At the expense of caching those resources that stay static. With http/2 the benefit of merging into one resource should be negligible anyways.
There's other whitespace in there that does get counted - for example, LOC is different depending on whether you prefer K&R braces. And since comments compensate for things that code doesn't directly express, it probably makes sense to include them too.

If we're trying to measure code complexity I think we have to ask "complexity to whom". If it's to humans, we should measure the code as it appears to humans. If it's to machines, then "line" is meaningless and we should look at tokens, the way PG suggested years ago.
You have control over the torque, just barely push in the gas when you accelerate and use the gears to keep up with traffic instead of the gas pedal, like on bike.
You noted "[1]" but never provided the source, do you still have it?
There are a few problems, first of all, the government in a democratic place doesn't necessary directly reflect the rich cooperation there. Specially when it comes to things like land use policies.

Rich companies or people don't necessary understand how to solve these issues, they have very little understanding of city planning, land use and so on.

These rich people have a lot of things going on, if somebody could convince a group of rich people and companies what the right solution is, and you could get past the broader NIMBY community then you might get somewhere. But this is hard to do even for those with the right answer.
so the hot takeaway here is that CSS must absolutely be embedded in HTML header so that browser does not make two requests to start rendering page in question.

Part of the problem is that Google was designed when PCs booted from spinning rust and a fast CPU was a Pentium II.
You need a PC anyway the price differential is nearly exactly the price of the GPU over the useful life of the GPU given that most users keep their hardware for about 6 years its 700 to buy once, 1200-1400 if you intend to buy the next best thing in 4 years and potentially sell the old one, or 2160 to rent something that can play a tiny fraction of the total games if they don't decide to take it away because its not economical at a moments notice.

If you game 10 hours a week the difference in power usage is probably about $30 a year kind of a rounding error.
I imagine booming populations in Africa will likely offset much of the working population in these countries with low birth rates.

As a European I can imagine what impact having high immigration from Africa mixed with all the property being unaffordable and owned by older white generations will have i.e. huge disparity in wealth between black and white, quick growth of black population and decline in white population, rise in racial tensions, rise of far right and claims of being assimilated.

I'm pretty ignorant about places like Korea and Japan though. Is there any hope they won't suffer the same difficulties?

Indeed, most of those things you listed don't make sense to 3D print because they're mass produced which is cheaper with injection molding. I'm sure you can also buy a cheap low quality mass produced camera lens too. 3D printing's advantage is in unique things.

That’s a perspective I don’t see often. Almost every time I hear “devops” it means “devs” doing some “ops”, instead of an equal split of “ops” switching to also doing development. I wonder why that is?
What are you rambling about, how do more poorly educated children help? If we need those we can just import them.

Also, if someone actively desires and seeks out the end of humanity maybe they have a reason for that and are fully aware of what they are doing rather than being ignorant about the wonders of poorly planned procreation.

I’ve dailied a mt in LA traffic since 2009. I’m one of those connected to the car people. I don’t even like cruise control bc I can’t feel what is happening.

That said, I will never buy another ice engine if I can help it. That’s coming for all of us ”enthusiasts”. For better or worse “boring” electric motors with all the smoothness and infinite torque across all rpm’s are the future…

Mt and even ice will be only for the affluent as a recreation item. (See who currently can own a horse and what they use them for as an example)

So what are the enthusiast masses to do?

My pitch is that electric sports cars of the future should have digital simulations of the mt experience. We just need to modulate the electric motors to simulate the torque curve of an ice engine.

Either put a real clutch and mt gear box in and pump the output into that. Or fake the whole thing with a haptic clutch pedal.

Sim racing has just about all the tech figured out for how to make it believable enough. And we already pipe fake engine sound around ice cars to make em sound better.

The best part is that you could simulate different types of engines and new and fun combinations of manual and auto stuff. And when you want efficiency just plonk it in the middle gear and let the electric motors be electric mode. You get all the options. Full manual, sequential shifter, paddles dual clutch, and full auto electric.

Maybe that would be better in electric retrofits but if Mazda made an electric Miata with that option the haters would hate until they tried it and saw how fun it would be. Really that’s the only reason anyone has to get a mt anymore. They are just fun as hell to drive so all we need to do is figure out how to make the electric cars we will all have to drive fun.
Nvidia is highly dependent on the game publishers making sure their games work well with Nvidia cards. The whole "best played on Nvidia" thing would fall apart if publishers stopped working with them. Unfortunately, this leads to them being unable to be more of an opponent here.

A third party would need to sue them or the government would have to introduce legislation to stop this bullshit. I'm not hopefully that either will happen in the near future, which is sad. Compared to e.g. Stadia Geforce Now has the far more customer friendly business model.
"Content" is the common denominator word for everything that ends up on a platform. Some of the content is art, some is DIY guides, some is game playthrougs. And some of it no one will even bother to classify because of how random or useless or bad it is. Some "content creators" make this stuff specifically for the absurdist joke of how pointless or offensive what they are making can be while it is not removed from the platform and still gets them views. For this stuff, there is lack for a better (or more specific) word than "content".
I kind of think you need to address the root problem first, once you clear that up, the symptoms, like homelessness, would actually be far more solvable.

We know what the root problem is, housing supply. We know how to make cities far better and reduce total cost of living in them.

There would still be many homeless left, but at that point you might actually have a hope of actually dealing with that specific problem.
I received that same response a few times in the past year. There are a couple of reasons for it:

* Banks are extremely well regulated for obvious reasons. Software is not regulated at all to the point of extreme immaturity and gross negligence. Nobody in software even wants to talk it.

* Financial services industry moves slow. A frozen mammoth runs faster. That means no panic mode of indecision. Some software companies will expect you to pivot on a dime, or rather compensate for their planning/architecture failure elsewhere.

* Some companies want you to play with a 1000 different tools and live in trend bullshit. You likely aren’t doing that at a bank. Configuration hell isn’t really programming so consider that as a missed loss.

I learned a lot from interviewing at more than 2 dozen places. Software is incredibly immature. The lower the barrier to entry the more immature and discriminatory it becomes.

Keep in mind developers talk a lot of bullshit during interviews. Everybody claims to want high performance, but almost nobody measures performance in any regard. I dropped out of a Facebook interview over this stupidity.

Everybody claims to want simplicity. When you can prove or talk through extreme simplicity most developers find it abhorrent. Instead they want familiarity and any deviation is met with disgust or arrogance.

I also learned that I had a lot of free time at a bank in which I could learn to become a much better developer. Strangely, almost nobody in interviews wanted to talk about actual engineering of software. It made me realize I’m old and software is a game for young people looking to make big money in a job where expectations are extremely low.

Yeah, offsets are just easier to mathematically manipulate than ordinals. It's not just pointer arithmetic where it matters that item i corresponds to start+i*step. Any time you want to convert between integer indices and general linearly-spaced values, 0-based indexing is more convenient.
Is this a service accessible via subscription? i.e. there is a human on the other end, right?
This is a complex problem that probably doesn't have a straightforward answer. Using the mantra 'make your website as fast as possible' means you won't get it wrong, so it's worth doing, but you almost certainly get diminishing returns for that effort as you optimize for things like shaving off milliseconds and bytes.

Yeah, that's fair. My point (really just repeating hearsay -- I should check that Google research still stands up!) is just that load time optimization apparently has a bigger benefit than you might expect, and the diminishing returns don't kick in until much later than you'd expect. Edit to add: and the post being discussed has a good point that there's a performance shelf at ~14KB, so a small improvement can have a big impact.

Although... that said... if Google really thought sites should be as fast as possible, wouldn't they make a smaller GoogleTagManager.js script?

A good question! They're definitely not the most consistent. The left hand says one thing, some of their thousand right hands do the exact opposite...

You got it completely backwards: in Bitcoin the only thing that matters is the computing power of miners, not the number of nodes. That is precisely the problem that Satoshi Nakamoto intended to solve, preventing Sybil attacks [0]. In few words, you don't want the consensus of the network to change just because you spawn more nodes voting the way you want to, they need to expend a resource that cannot be duplicated, in Bitcoin's case computing power/electricity.

The Bitcoin Whitepaper also explains this in Section 4, "Proof of Work" [4]:

> The proof-of-work also solves the problem of determining representation in majority decision making. If the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone able to allocate many IPs. Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote. The majority decision is represented by the longest chain, which has the greatest proof-of-work effort invested in it. If a majority of CPU power is controlled by honest nodes, the honest chain will grow the fastest and outpace any competing chains.

Edit: changed typo, "and the number of nodes" should have been "not the number of nodes".
I'm using "dumb" to refer to computationally limited reasoning for even small programs.

Think linear regression vs neural networks, or in this case, ML-family type systems (with all the modern trimmings) vs an SMT solver. The "explaining your code to a three year old vs a professional colleague" comment is spot on.
I always assumed it started at zero otherwise you don’t use the full range of an unsigned integer and you can only have an odd number as your capacity (for whatever you use indexing for, not just RAM addressing).

Who is renting all the apartments in Seoul if every smart person with a perfect GPA and 52 hour a week job can't afford it?
Yes. I wrote the entire .d.ts file by hand.

I did look at including JSDoc comments in the .js files to define types and function signatures, from which I could then autogenerate TS documentation files. But the results were a mess, and they ruined the existing documentation. Given that documenting the code in a way that allows me to autogenerate doc files (in a format that I like) is paramount, I abandoned that idea.

Also, the library's structure just doesn't sit well with my limited understanding of TS and TS definitions. I got the impression from the TS docs that the TS developers really like JS classes, and are not that keen on ES6 modules - which is unfortunate because my library makes heavy use of prototypes, modified by mixin functions.

So I hand-wrote a single definitions file in a way that matched as closely as possible the library's structure and preferences. Hopefully that file is enough to give developers some useful tips in their preferred IDE when they use the library in their projects. But I've only tested this in Sublime Text.

Why does it kill you? A NULL in a row is semantically identical to the row never existing in the first place, unless there is some other non-null column (the primary key) that lets you disambiguate between the two cases. It's hardly a problem in practice because all good tables should have primary keys.
