For many years I didn't use any ADS on that blog. From some time I am using Google ADS and I don't make millions, however, the profits from these ads, although small, cover server maintenance costs and pay off the time spent on writing. I was convinced that everyone uses blockers and only bots make me profitable ;) If there are more negative comments about the ads, I will opt out of them.
I'd say that >90% of "security incidents" that I've seen reported are completely bogus. And we don't even have a bug bounty program. They will still beg for free stuff like t-shirts and other tiddletat.

the only way to do an "atomic increment operation" is to use the "Watch" command or to write stored procedure.

Watch is a poor man transaction and stored procedure does not work when you need to read value interactively from somewhere else (user/filesystem/another database) while inside a transaction.
Increased precision in base concepts makes it easier to measure and reason about the real-world drift from those bases.

I disagree with this, we don't just hear about ideas we actually see the art. Both are shown pictures.

I always love seeing the uselessness of the term “middle class”. Or rather, lack of utility. Politically, it is a very useful term.
DevOps (and Agile) both usually run aground on the same question of trust. If you aren't willing to trust your delivery teams then you aren't going to see the leverage that both practices bring to an organization.

And if you aren't willing to trust your delivery teams then your organization has a much bigger problem than either DevOps or Agile can solve.

What is the difference between "shaming" and "referencing facts", exactly? I genuinely don't understand the distinction. Also, I'm commenting on YC's choice, not Garry's views. I understand if YC doesn't want to host criticism of its decisions, but you should be upfront about it.

I explicit reject this idea that it's unfair to point to things people have said, even if they're screenshots. Sorry, that's just deciding that you can pick and choose data to ignore.

> NASA is not incompetent or corrupt and neither are its contractors.

Corruption is one thing I don't feel qualified to comment on but having worked for both NASA and for a few contractors... yes they're absolutely incompetent.

They have expertise in small pockets but the overall organization is surrounded by giant cushions of bloat. NASA could drop ~50% of their staff and nothing would materially change. ULA could drop ~20% of their staff and nothing would materially change.
Your pithy dismissal leaves out hundreds of pages of religious rites and project management dances which invariably turn into productivity-sucking meeting overload, unachievable goals, and constant product churn, effectively alienating everyone from the developer to the user, leaving only the managers satisfied. Like telling a college student that communism doesn't work, any objection is met with "well they're just not doing REAL Agile," skipping over the fact that nobody on Earth seems to be "doing REAL Agile."

Agile could just as well serve in the headline in place of DevOps.
>The end of online advertising is an existential threat for a massive part of the tech industry. If that cash cow ends there would be a huge reduction in money for devs, and a massive flood of devs on to the market. Economics 101 should tell you how bad that would be for most HN readers.

That's as may be, but little of value would be lost IMHO.

Well, except by those supporting (in a myriad of ways) the cesspit of advertising online and elsewhere.

I'm sure many will disagree with my assessment, but advertising as it's done today is invasive, obnoxious and alarmingly ubiquitous.

I'm not sure what a better model is, but this is not the way.

N.B: Advertising paid for my food, clothing, housing, etc. for the first 18 years of my life. And a couple years later for another five years as well.
> If the outputs were sufficiently different from the most similar training examples would it be exempt from copyright liabilities?

This is a great kind of question to ask, and can point us to the right areas of non-deep-learning copyright to think about – but not in a way that lends itself to a quick settled answer in a comment section, I suspect. https://law.marquette.edu/facultyblog/tag/fairey-v-ap/

> On the other extreme, a single copyrighted image in the training set could spoil the whole model, it would be impossible to make sure the training set is 100% clean.

Where possessing stolen goods is illegal, it takes quite a lot of effort to determine that an e.g. antiquities dealer has met the reasonable standard of inquiry for 100% of their inventory – but that doesn't mean that isn't the legal requirement. That's an area where we know the legal standard, and this is much newer ground, so it very well may be that tech that depends on datasets too big to take responsibility for may not end up being a great foundation for anything with legal liability attached.

It's really not hard. You just have to care more for the harm to the well-being of human artists than for the harm for the well-being of farmed animals. It may surprise some people but speciesism is the default position for the vast majority of the population.
Stepping back from all the details, somewhere in all their collection of assorted ancient systems, hacks and kludges from previously failed attempts to migrate to something newer, and whatever else they have, there is something that presents a public facing web site that customers can log in on for online banking. (I'm only talking about companies that offer web-based online banking, not companies that want to add online banking to a system that doesn't already have it).

There is something that handles the user's submission from that site and records somehow that the user is logged in, and directs the user's browser to some site that can somehow get their account information, balances, etc, from whatever that is stored, and can handle form submissions that request operations on those accounts such as transfers, bill pay, and such.

What I don't understand is where the difficulty would be in making it so customers do not talk directly to those web-based things, and instead talk to a web front end running on a separate, reasonably modern Unix, Unix-like, or Windows Server and that server talks those older web-based things. It could even talk to them over HTTP looking like a browser to the older components. The online banking front end would not have any direct integration with the rest of their systems. It would just go through the same interfaces they already are using to support online banking.

Heck that is essentially what Plaid does for banks that don't have a useable API. They log in to the bank's online banking site with the customer's credentials and then screen scrape to get the account balances. That has got to be a nightmare for Plaid because they have to deal with many different banks, any of which might make changes that break their scrapping with no notice.

A bank essentially doing its own Plaid that just has to work with its current online banking site should be a lot more doable.

I'm more answering the question than agreeing with the answer.

Trust seems like such an arbitrary set of lines in the sand anyway.

Adding a repo to your OS and installing the package? Fine.

Same developer provides an install script? Absolutely not.

You have to trust somebody eventually, whether it be your HW manufacturer, OS developers, packagers, developers, etc. There's a lot of it blindly going on, but a script running as your user? Just can't.

> Humans aren’t allowed to sell direct copies of other people’s art

Direct copying yes, but stealing ideas? No. Actually it is a well-known practice in the art industry to use several existing works as references, and creating new artwork that is bit of mixture of all of them.

That is exactly what DALL-E/StableDiffusion are trying to do.

AI isn't borrowing pixels, either. If you read the idea of diffusion models, quite the opposite, what it directly learns is how to destroy an image from what it is into gaussian noise. The trick here is we can reverse this process 'creating' arts from noises.

There is no copying pixels, not even in the most simplistic version of how this model works.

Here you can follow the accumulation - Greenland has a net accumulation of snow/ice every year - over the last months and years. This year has seen less melt/more accumulation than the average for the last 40 years. Go back to 2016 for the last period of high melt/low accumulation, 2010-2012 saw the highest melt/lowest accumulation in the last ~70 years. At this moment the runoff of water from Greenland is comparable to that in the 1950's [1 - select 'Run off' on polarportal.dk to get this graph].

As to why the authors suggest the application of the highest melt in 70 years - which, as is shown by the graph, clearly stands out from the rest - 'in perpetuity' I'll leave up to the readers to decide.

I pay for several subscription services, yet they always want more and more of my data. Whatever I give, it's never enough, they want to have their cake and eat it too.

I use open source stuff when I can, and similarly, I contribute to the projects when I can. This seems to be the only legitimate way to avoid ads.
What if you're renting that property out as a long-term-rental? Jacking up taxes on that is pretty much just going to penalize renters (I'd guess, anyway), which is not really fair, as they're (again generalizing) on average poorer than property owners.

I'm not sure what the solution is. There's probably a tax component to it, but I think second order effects need to be carefully considered.
I think online advertising as we know it will be essentially dead by the end of the decade. Because most businesses are paying for google ads, you're basically paying a highway toll for the organic traffic you would get for free anyway, and advertisers haven't figured out the ruse. This whole idea that people search for A and are going to be willing to instead click on B if you put it at the top is super overblown -- 99% of the time they still want to and will click on A, they'll just scroll down. Impressions in search don't convert people anymore. This is why people's bounce rates have become worse and worse since the 2010s -- most ad clicks are miss-clicks.

And when people _are_ shopping around, they search for things like "best vpn providers 2022" and then go to that article and look at the breakdown. People don't click on B unless they're already sold on it, and search placement just isn't doing it for people anymore because the ad results have just been so bad for so long all trust is gone.

The modern populace has become completely innoculated against the effectiveness of search ads imo. Most people don't even see those results they have mental blinders and scroll down a bit.
Less mainstream, sure.

Less homogenized? It's hard for me to believe you mean that, but I'll suggest instead that it's homogenized more closely around your interests, so that you don't notice the homogeneity.

Less lobotomized? So long as you skip threads about crypto, Tesla, SpaceX... just anything even tangentially related to Musk, then sure, less lobotomized.
Im probably going to get a lot of flack for this, but I'd say it's the taboo part.

It wasn't that long ago that gay marriage was illegal with, as far as I know, the only real argument being the opinion of "That's gross". With the tests you describe, or permanent sterilization, the only real thing in the way of incestuous marriage is "That's gross". I'm guessing we won't see any court decisions that truly dive into the reasoning for a long time, if ever (in our lifetimes). It is an interesting thought experiment.
According to "The DevOps Handbook" DevOps is...

> the outcome of applying the most trusted principles from the domain
of physical manufacturing and leadership to the IT value stream. DevOps relies
on bodies of knowledge from Lean, Theory of Constraints, the Toyota
Production System, resilience engineering, learning organizations, safety culture,
human factors, and many others.

Anybody that's worked in an organization that "uses DevOps" or has "DevOps Engineers" knows that this simply isn't true in the vast majority of circumstances. Too often DevOps is just a new name for an ops team. "True" DevOps is all about aligning incentives, sharing responsibilities, and fostering collaboration between people who build and maintain systems whereas "DevOps" (with air quotes) is just a new spin on being a sysadmin with a greater emphasis on AWS and Terraform.
No one admits they don't do it because everyone does it. I have worked at 6 different companies since I've heard that term and all of them were able to deploy to an environment by clicking a button on a CI/CD tool. Maybe I'm the outlier?
That's quite a journey, sure, but seeking agreement on working on the train (with a first class seat on a HST that's certainly possible) is a great solution. Maybe meet family in the middle, and force older family members figure out how to VC (been there ;)). Unavoidable travel such as seeing relatives is also a good reason to shell out for good seat on an airplane.

The point isn't (just) to avoid air travel, also to avoid those shitty Ryanair/WizzAir/Easyjet seats/travels ;)

I used to travel between Amsterdam and Lyon, the KLM flight was so much better than Easyjet, in every respect. I didn't have a lot of money, but that splurge on KLM was worth it.

Also, business and holiday travel where I'd seek the easiest wins in terms of just not flying.

It's funny because you spell out a use case that can represent undeniable progress: artificial porn. Porn with no component of human suffering, yet realistic and personalized. A dream product, no doubt. By what metric is this not progress, except a puritanical/religious one?

Moreover, sexuality is perhaps the most important theme in art, historically. It is a very legitimate thing to want to include in a tool such as this one. Its censorship is akin to "moral codes" of the past, completely regressive.

Congratulations! While I am going to greatly miss the videos you did on YouTube the truth is you are so right for the job. Two words of advice for you - be bold.
I was a network engineer at my previous job, I was fed up with doing things manually so I learned to code better. Now I'm a full stack developer writing code for the network team of a different company.

One thing that has changed drastically over the last 15 years is the sharp divide between IT and development. It used to be that developers were clueless how to deploy their own apps, and IT was terrified of writing code preferring to do things manually, or purchase something prepackaged. Now I see developers that understand firewalls and load balancers, and IT folk that can script stuff out for themselves. I think we have the push behind DevOps to thank for that progress, and while there is still a long ways to go, I think it's a good thing overall.

Democrat is a noun, Democratic is an adjective. Republican is both (depending on context).

"Republican" and "Democratic" are modifying the noun "Party" when referring to the political organizations, so you use the adjective in those cases.

There are multiple questionable assumptions but I'll focus on one early one.

"There is a current paradigm to phase out fossil fuels and all associated infrastructure. This will require an unprecedented volume of metals of all kinds. In particular, technology metals. Technology metals are the building materials needed to manufacture much of current state-of-the-art technology. Technology metals could include: Be, B, Sc, V, Ga, Ge, Se, Sr, Y, Zr, In, Te, Cs, Ba, La, Hf, Ta, Os, Tl, Li, Ru, W, Cd, Hg, Sb, Ir, Mo and Mg."

This appears to be a random selection of metals, presented without justification. Nothing about transitioning away from fossil energy requires more mercury, osmium, strontium, barium, or thallium. They're not needed in wind turbines, batteries, solar cells, nuclear reactors, electric motors, electrolyzers, power electronics, or fuel cells. Did the author actually have other energy-transition-critical applications in mind or is he just trying to dazzle with quantity?
