IDK about "better".

It had a better combat, more colorful graphics and fantastic stereo music. The plot was better (ie it existed) but also kinda nonsensically lifted from Laputa for a non-sequitor ending.

But mostly, they're just different games. Fundamentally, Zelda plays as a puzzle and exploration game. Crystalis didn't quite do that. Instead of maps and puzzles, you had mazes of passages, and a few town puzzles. Instead of exploring for heart containers, you grind levels by wandering around the wasteland killing anything that moves.

The NFT scene I am part of, running on Tezos markets like Versum and FXhash, is incredibly vibrant. The idea that somehow the market is gone is really only true for the wash trading / BAYC madness, which was silly and meaningless to begin with.

Artists on FXhash are selling out editions of 200 in 15 minutes. It’s an incredibly vibrant market and the whole concept of FXhash is a revolution in generative art.

NFTs are not dead.

Here are 3 real artists selling NFTs right now.

Most of “web3” is scams, ponzis and foolishness. But NFTs are changing the lives of digital artists everywhere.

Bizarrely this seems to be something that most people at HN are completely alienated from. But NFTs work.

The fact that not everyone is making millions anymore is irrelevant - as a working artist in a cheaper country you can make a decent living if you develop a community. It can also be a very healthy second income.

Easy to block this with NetGuard.

The "For Developers" schtick has really become pathetic. I am not a "developer". I am a user who does not care for sending free data to "tech" companies.

Perhaps Mozilla's partners can be sold the idea that Mozilla is only allowing "developers" to potentially have more control over surreptitious data collection, e.g., by using "add-ons", and the assumption by those partnering with Mozilla is that "developers" are all on the side of online advertising. Not quite.

Whatever the reasons for it may be, the entire "developer" vs "user" distinction has become absurd. It assumes (incorrectly) there are no people who know how to build, program and use computers who are not "developers". Not everyone wants to apply their computer know-how to profit from online advertising and associated surveillance.

I never saw it create anything more NSFW than female boobs. It won't generate penises or genitals besides mounds of hair. Right now the "NSFW" flag/filter is 99%+ false positives. This is stuff that used to be allowed in G-rated movies in the US.

True to both Stable Diffusion and Dalle2, the more encompassing the content of your image is, the more incorrect the detail is. Both generally will make fantastic faces but anatomy and consistency starts falling apart with full bodies. Contorted limbs, missing fingers, too many limbs, etc. No one is going to be fooled here.

Of course the models could be trained on offensive images and over a long enough time period eventually will. But, for now, someone is going to have to spend millions of dollars on compute and have the human expertise behind it too. Then again, if we had an image generator making pictures of [insert X offensive thing] that is a whole lot less disgusting than the plentiful real photos and videos of that thing in reality.
Find a local psychiatrist and schedule an appointment. If there's reason to believe you may have ADHD, by the end of the session they will prescribe you one or more medications and schedule a follow-up appointment in a few weeks to evaluate feedback.

There are stimulants (amphetamine) and non-stimulant medications, which your doctor can go into detail to decide which is right for you. It's also possible you may need to try a few different meds before something "clicks", so don't be surprised if you're taking Adderall one week and Vyvanse the next. You'll likely start with low dosage like 5mg, and work your way up to 30mg as needed (which usually means taking more pills until your next script ups the dose).

If you don't have insurance, expect to pay $200-400 for your first 90-minute session (1st session runs long), and anywhere from $20-100 for the prescriptions (generics can be pretty cheap). Should also expect to have a session at least once a month to every six weeks otherwise the doctor may not renew scripts. Some are fine with sessions every other month, but they need to have regular check-ups to cover their butts since they're dealing with controlled substances.

ADHD has high comorbidity, such as with depression and bi-polar disorder, so the psychiatrist may expect a more holistic approach including working with a therapist, but it's usually "optional". Your psychiatrist and therapist can also discuss your situation directly to improve your treatment plan.
My Sony TV came with the newest ATSC 3.0 TV tuner hardware. The software wasn't fully QC'd at launch. They put out a firmware update about 2 months after I bought mine to fully enable the tuner software and hardware.

Otherwise, it's been app updates and some improved HDR processing.
The “Protestant” Northern Europeans in colonial America were anything but homogenous. New England Puritans not only had laws requiring Quakers to stay away, they in fact whipped, mutiliated and even executed those that refused to do so. The four English cultures that settled colonial America were vastly different from one another. The idea that there existed some kind of “US religious identity” upon its founding is profoundly ahistorical, and, in fact, laughable.

> I think the thing that makes me most sad about the internet is how susceptible it is to control and censorship.

To prevent their citizens from listening to one man giving a speech, Pakistan needed to organise blocking all access from ordinary customers to the entire Youtube platform.

That's the smallest thing which works. And your reaction is you are sad because of "how susceptible it is to control and censorship" ?

What if Khan instead wrote a letter to a newspaper? Government can just tear up the letter, and tell the newspaper not to publish it - no need to shut every newsagent and corner store in the whole country. Or if he wrote a book? Government just orders the book pulped, there's no need to shut libraries and close every bookstore.

The minimum effective action was to completely cut off their country from this invaluable resource, loads of Pakistanis who had no intention of viewing the speech are now aware because their favourite clip of a guy getting kicked in the nuts was blocked, or the pop video they liked, or a defence of their preferred way to make a common snack. "Hey, why doesn't Youtube work?" "Oh the government are censoring Khan".

Well we will be able to generate satirical political images of politicians, of religions easily and quickly. So there are some upsides for the technology to be given to every comedian out there. Politicians and religions, did have an easy ride the last few years, so we must set the record straight from now on.

N1) no, that phase mostly already happened.

It's what took place after WW2 and was the battle ground for the cold war.

That's a little bit Pakistan can into existence in the first place.

Singapore, Jamaica, heck, even Canada made it's own constitution. Most of Africa (both sub saharan and north saharan), much of the Middle East. Huge portion of the world map.

2) This 'Colonials set everything pit one group against the other' is also wrong. Obviously, there were favourites and artifacts of that, but for the most part, left to their own devices, it would still be tribal chaos in most places.

The presupposition in that anti-colonial statment is that somehow, before foreign intervention, things worked in some meaningful way. In most places, it did not, and, there were previous colonial/external interventions. i.e. Ottoman Empire ruled over much of the Middle East ruthlessly, previous Islamic Caliphates were all over NE Africa with the slave trade for many centuries etc. etc..

Relatively few places are like 'Thailand' with a fairly coherent history.

I don't know if you're POC or not, but for some of us, this is a personal safety issue and also, it just kind of sucks to feel under siege in society all the time.

To be sure, I have lived in places in the rural U.S., and not all of them are bad. There are places where the folks seem to vote for a hateful candidate, but when you meet them, it's actually not what it chalked up to be. And then there are other places. It's not as simple as rural vs. urban either. I would rather live in parts of rural California than in most East Coast cities.

When I'm in a place full of a hateful side, I will know it, and I will generally avoid returning except on occasion. Also, at some point in your life you will get older. You own't want to deal with that anymore. Anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themselves. It'll be fun and games until you're the elderly Asian person whose skull has been bashed in. When you're young and feeling indestructible, cool. One day that will end. Maybe it will be the passing of a relative, or welcoming someone to the family. The day will come when your priorities change.

In all, it's not our jobs to spend our lives being the canary in the coal mine. There's this idea of individualism in the West, yes? We need to go where we can grow, or at the least be safe to try.

I love building PCs and haven't bought a pre-built system ever in 30+ years. That said, thankfully, for inexperienced folk there are innumerable videos on YouTube explaining each step of the process.

I admit I sometimes watch these videos to see if there are any new tips/tricks/secrets that builders have figured out for e.g. working with a new case and getting all that wiring done correctly.
They might also be banking on this giving Microsoft cover to not take it down.

With the original takedown, Microsoft would be worried that the relative nobodies disappear with Microsoft left holding the bag.

Id claim it’s the products bought without clear alternative choices or understanding in the disposability of the designs. When I bought a MacBook Air around 2012, I didn’t expect the battery to be so remarkably difficult to replace as every laptop I had owned prior had removable batteries. Given the choice of a bigger computer with a replaceable battery/ram and probably better cooling, I’d choose that instantly.

Again mostly personal experience and direct feedback from people saying that keeping track of vocabulary is hard.

Lingq was an early inspiration, but it has many limitations (for example, it has trouble tracking word conjugations, let alone kanji in languages like Japanese) and relies almost exclusively on manual volunteer work. It provides very little leverage to users.

For a purely leverage-based answer, Parsnip will save hundreds of hours of manual work per user purely by automating manual things like creating fill-in-the-blank exercises, vocabulary tracking and dictionary lookups (a conservative estimate is 70+ hours for this alone).

Since experimenting with the GPT models I do notice when posts and articles seem to have used generated content, but I can't identify what it is that gives me this feeling. Maybe it is just a feeling.

When using the models, I find the content generated frequently must be edited to be useful. Presumably if it doesn't wander off or repeat itself too much, there is a human in the loop guiding the generation. Take it as seriously as you would any anonymous post on the Internet.

Fact check important stuff by seeking reputable sources. Treat the rest as entertainment. Even if it is possible to detect, just because text is generated does not mean it's incorrect.

I imagine given the way text is generated using probabilities, it can in theory be detected when stretches of text are using high probability words in sequence. I'm not aware of any tools that do this at the moment though.
[Layman, but I've read up quite a bit on thorium and molten salt reactor designs]

The 1959 Sodium Reactor experiment was to demonstrate the feasibility of a sodium-cooled reactor as the heat source for a commercial power reactor to produce electricity. It used fuel rods similar to rods used in reactors in operation today.

Conversely the The Molten Salt Reactor experiment[1] used uranium fuel dissolved into a salt as both fuel and coolant for the reactor - this design enables significant advantages over traditional reactors powered by solid fuel.

You might not have a choice. Sometimes even seemingly trivial APIs/features like SVG, flexbox, or audio/video behave slightly differently in different browsers, and it's easy to sink a lot of time into debugging these differences. I'm not saying the effort isn't ever worth it, and it's certainly better now than it ever was in the past, but I think you're underestimating the amount of work it takes to properly support a complex web app across all modern browsers.

With that said, if you're just using web technologies to throw together a UI to slap on your native app that does all the heavy lifting, then sure, maybe using something like Tauri is worth it. Even then, it might not be worth the QA burden of having to test all UI changes against every supported platform, and then the support burden of getting platform-specific bug reports.
There's a little more to it than that: The light meter in any given scene is trying to set the average exposure to middle grey, using reflected light in the scene as a hint.

This will never work well with a photo of, say, a black cat sitting in the snow. You can't spot meter for the snow or you'll massively underexpose the cat, and the snow because snow isn't supposed to be grey. You can't spot meter for the cat or the snow will be blown out and the cat will end up looking brown. In regular evaluative metering camera will end up trying to meter for an average of 18% grey and unless the exact ratio of cat-to-snow is perfect will almost certainly get it all wrong.

This is the same scenario with most high-contrast scenes. Black paint on a white wall will have the exact same problem.

You're essentially left with having to manually control your exposure: If you're outside in the midday sun, you can slam it over to sunny-16 and get something relatively close, or use an incident light meter to actually determine correct exposure.

If you do take photos outside during the day, I honestly suggest giving it a shot, because it's incredibly helpful and even if it doesn't improve any given shot it'll improve your understanding of how to meter.
Kinda. Money laundering consists of placement, layering, and integration. There is a (very weak, imo) argument that TC can be a part of the “layering” process, but it certainly does not do all three.
