> Nowhere will a training set featuring pictures of naked children be legal.

Appropriately from the recent news stories, but it's easy to imagine at least portions of such pictures being available for medical diagnostic purposes. I've sent pictures of my children to my doctor, so presumably in the future it's easy to imagine sending pictures to an AI to diagnose which would require a suitably fleshed out (pardon the pun) training set.
Yeah, we spend money to operate school police departments here too. I totally believe you that the Netherlands' spending is adequate given costs and services, though.

I assume you don't have private health insurance plans in the Netherlands either? Those will raise the cost per teacher in the US.

There are 2 things called "file system api" in the browser.
One is the "File System Access API" to store files on a users OS. This cannot be used to store data of a database.[1]

The other one is the "real" filesytem api, which is not supported by most browsers. [2]

You don't need the SHA1 or anything within the blobs even. Just an IP address & user-agent pair is enough to uniquely identify a user with some accuracy, and that accuracy only goes up the more data you add. It'll never be 100% accurate, but for ad targeting, it doesn't need to be - a "hunch" is more than enough since getting it wrong leaves you no worse than you were before.
I'm acutely aware that middle to upper class, mostly white, Americans are the worst offenders of overconsumption and that people who make overpopulation claims about the third world are being racist. Britain, and then America, led the charge of industrial imperialism that doomed us to this current timeline. And we colonized and brutalized people of color the world over to get there. I understand that, and I understand the hypocrisy of living a middle class American lifestyle while I type this. Though at least I live in a small-ish duplex without AC :)

I'm also aware that people have been predicting the apocalypse for as long as there have been people. But this is not as simple as manure storage, and it's a bit disingenuous to draw that comparison. You simply cannot have 8 billion people living in huge houses with air conditioning. It will not work. If our definition of racial equality and harmony is to let everyone fuck up the environment equally, rather than restricting everyone's (including rich white people) ability to overconsume, then we are all equally toast.

> And this is why I don’t believe most of the arguments against big houses, cars, air conditioning, are honest or being made in good faith.

Reminder: all the information and points I'm citing come from the world's leading climate and environmental scientists. If you think the IPCC is just being racist when they lay out the data about how bad climate change will be and say we need to reduce our emissions (i.e. consumption), then I don't know what to tell you.

People are saying you need a GPU with 6.9GB of RAM for the current model, so in practice at least an 8GB GPU.

Thankfully, GPU prices have finally calmed down and you can get one for a reasonable price. I think any of the RTX 3000 series desktop GPU's should do it, for example.

If you go on any exclusion diet then I'd expect foods you're no longer accustomed to would affect you. I suspect that if a committed vegan were to eat a steak then they would have a variety of both mental and biological reactions.

Regarding your comment about removing carbs being the diet we evolved with, I always presumed that we had always eaten fruit and vegetables. Grains didn't become a significant part of our diet though until about 4,000 years ago with the introduction of bronze age agriculture.

There also seems to be what appears fairly solid evidence that animals, including humans, have sought out fermented fruit, about 1-3% alcohol, for millions of years. Wouldn't that be something we evolved on too?
This is insane and these people are clearly not interested in charity.

They’re selling an “investment” with no legal guarantees. You don’t own anything like equity or a bond which are contracts with regulatory oversight.

> Nobody forced Russia to invade a sovereign country (or to consider itself the rightful owner of those lands for that matter), that's entirely their fault.

Alas, the world doesn't operate based on the moral principles you imply, but cold hard realpolitik. Actions have consequences in the great power game between nation states.

> And it was mind bogglingly stupid, as we can see a few months in, with the massive losses to their army and economy.

The Russian economy is doing fine, business with India and China is thriving. "Massive losses to their army" I believe is far from accurate. I'll be greatly surprised if at the end of this, Ukraine isn't economically destroyed, geographically devastated. Territories lost will remain lost, and the deaths of so many people will have been for nothing more than furthering the geopolitical and industrial interests of the main instigators.
How do you define "exact"? What are you measuring?
I think that s a hopeful message.

At first we will see a lot of "prompt censoring mobs" that will try to "stop abusers because children and terrorists", but as the images multiply, and they will multiply, the line between real and fake photos will become hard to spot, for real. This is i think a pivotal and great moment, because everyone can now claim plausible deniability to any picture. No revenge porn will be believable anymore, nor will anyone know if that Bezos's weiner pic is real or not.

Thanks for the suggestions. It's true that the UX definitely lacks in many parts, and in many others it's unclear what one should do after they sign up for the first time.

Let me try to clarify a few things. First and foremost, Digs is supposed to be a bookmarking tool (you add and organize albums to lists). Then, it's a social network.

It's not created with the mindset of it being a music streaming service. That said, for convenience and pragmatism, a web player is included if the release was added via a Spotify, Mixcloud or Bandcamp link, or if the corresponding MusicBrainz release had a Discogs URL associated with it. Ideally, every release on the page should include a web player - this is something I'm trying to figure out how to do automatically, without enormous amount of human moderation. (I understand this is all technicalities, I just wanted to explain how it works currently.)

> I see a feed of albums from strangers.

The "Community updates" feed is the default if you have no friends added yet. If this is too noisy (and after this post it will be, for almost all people I assume), then you can switch to "Friends' updates" by clicking on the dropdown arrow. The choice will be persisted and you won't see that noise again.

> If I'm sharing music: - I want a quick way to share music

The current way to share music, is passively, i.e. by having friends (your friends will see your activity in their home feed). The active way to share is to click on the "Recommend" option, from the action dropdown button in a release page (e.g. https://digs.fm/releases/2782921-DJ-Shadow-What-Does-Your-So...).

> Edit: Signed out and noticed you have "continue with spotify" on the logged out / sign in page https://digs.fm/users/sign_in -- that wasn't available on your home page https://digs.fm/. I would've signed up with spotify if available and maybe that would've exposed clearer UX?

The Spotify SSO is currently broken, so I've disabled it until I fix it. Apparently I forgot to hide it from the sign_in page as well - thanks for bringing this up!
> keeps the many free services I value greatly running.

You don't need continuous pervasive tracking without people's consent to run ads and keep the free service running.
The transformer-coupling of Ethernet isn't a trivial fact.

Well, here's something for people who insist all VPN services are a "scam". VPNs play an important role by circumventing censorship in countries with more network level internet censorship.
I like it. Few issues:

- doesn't describe handling spaces or other characters before the checkbox
- doesn't support UTF-8 checkbox emoji
- doesn't support nested lists
- specifies a specific space character when a character class would be better
- not clear what "item must not contain blank lines" means
- description indentation limit of four space characters is a problem for nested items
- description supporting blank lines (properly indented) would be useful for longer descriptions
- date should support an ISO or other standard date format
- timezone is necessary for events happening in specific timezones or across timezones
Yeah but it's like the difference between someone saying that their height is 1.8m and saying it is 1.800m. They imply different levels of precision.

No. The part where people argue Google is collecting a lot of data is sound. The part that's missing is why is this bad.

No chart, no numbers, no sounds, or anything else will in their own argue why this data collection is bad. This argument as to why is what's missing, and until nominal privacy advocates start putting together coherent arguments as to why it's bad (and, importantly, why these costs do not merit the benefits), they're not making forward progress.

PostgreSQL and Financial Calculations – Part One
Ask HN: How many developers think they detect 11 mln bits of info per second?
As Steven Kotler mentioned in a "Flow Research Collective" newsletter, from which I've unsubscribed after reading that "Our senses gather 11 million bits of information every second", becasue such conclusion seems fundamentally flawed. Elswhere he mentioned that this information was mentioned in the book "The User Illusion" by Tor Nørretranders, which I haven't read.
So I am curious how many actual developers really think that they gather 11 million bits of information every second, or at least if they really could calculate how many bits of information they handle every second during a programming session (and what quality of programming is produced during then).
What’s your point? A lot of people have tried crack and there are a lot of crack addicts. I calculated the numbers of Australia a few years ago. Something like 10% of people who try heroin become dependent. That number is like 0.1% or 0.01% for alcohol.

QED
I hesitated to mention football in my original post, because I know it is controversial here on HN. I'm not ignorant to the risks. The key things that I think are relevant to this discussion on teens are:

-- Playing sports or other group participative activities is so good for them on every level. As the article points out, declining participation is a concern.

-- Every activity has risk. Helping kids learn to assess that risk and not be afraid of the world is important in their emotional and mental growth, IE: learning to overcome fears and take calculated risks.
The idea is that either long-term fat loss or muscle gain are impossible is clearly ridiculous. There are simple existence proofs. How does the world have athletes? Go look at the master's division of a natural bodybuilding or tested powerlifting competition. Or the master's division in some 5k or 10k road race. Are the lifters bigger and stronger than they were 30 years ago? Of course they are. Are the runners fat? Of course not.

What research shows, unfortunately, is that taking a bunch of people in some kind of shape they don't like, applying a point-in-time intervention that changes it, and then going back five years later usually results in finding they went back to how they were before.

That doesn't mean changing your physical condition for the long-run is impossible. It means there is no such thing as a point-in-time intervention with permanent effects. You need to make a permanent lifestyle change to see a permanent effect. The overwhelming majority of people will never do that, but it absolutely does not mean you can't do it.
Sooner or later, every online forum becomes focused primarily on driving users away. This doesn't make any sense (that I know of), but it seems to be a law of nature.

SO might be immune. Then again, it might not.
It's cool to see what the hottest research is in NA these days, even if they're being so salty about it.
In other conversations about this nobody has come up with a great reason for it. Obesity rates may be a large factor but doesn't explain the normal weight and underweight men. What do you think?
You can have ads without tracking. I don't think anyone is against ads per se. People are against pervasive continuous tracking and wholesale sale of data to anyone.

That's.... not what people criticizing VPNs are referring to.

VPN's privacy claims are a scam. Reselling their own internet connection works, but advertising it that way doesn't.

The customer has no way of having any assurance of a privacy claim, and even past assurances can change at any time, and even if active monitoring or surveillance wasn't being done by the VPN provider, their data center, a third party along the way or the government, the VPN provider would still respond to a court order from the government undermining your privacy. Thats the part people call a scam.
