“You perfectly know fine art isnt the issue here because its a small industry anyway and you guys arent investing dozens of billions to take over a niche industry.”

Seriously, I don’t know that. According to Statistica, the total value of fine art transactions was over $65 billion in 2021. But fine, let’s take it as stipulated: commercial art is a far bigger market.

If there really is that much at stake, change is inevitable.

“It doesnt. And you know it. It only takes taste. Which is very easy for an AI to acquire with intelligent supervision. It will be way better than the 99 percentile of artists very quickly. The rest is monkey work and is worth nothing.”

You are (aggressively) psychic! As an AI practitioner, if I could so easily bottle up taste and sell it, I surely would. Supervised learning requires a source, and current methods require vast (and thus expensive) corpora of training data. The better it understands what is “good” by the standards of that data set, the less ability it has to generate novel work and redefine what is, in fact, good.

Visual style, in particular, is subject to fashions whim, what ML practitioners call “concept drift.” What is exalted one day, is scorned and ridiculed in another.

If taste were so easily captured in a model, Hollywood would never have to worry about making another bomb. Game studio executives could sleep blissfully. A vast amount of money is lost due to bad design choices, across countless industries. Frankly, I think a Taste Oracle is worth more than an AI Snuffaluffagus.

“One of the first things I noticed on the SD website is the cleverness of the bullshit. With "ethic" and stuff everywhere. Did you wrote it? Are you CEO?”

I am just not that clever. I see all that as CYA. The fact that they released everything, code and models, undermines the notion that they expect to corner a multi-trillion dollar market.

Paranoia, anger, aggression, maybe this is appropriate in the face of unknowable change. But people are divided at the outset of this revolution, and remain conquered by the future Mars dwellers.

It is possible to be "right in principle but wrong in practice" about things like resource limits to growth. Particularly about the cost of extraction, and the supply chain logistics.

I think that the limits which exist here probably lie out beyond practical considerations in the known reserves, mines and processing chains.

A lot of discussion about lithium (for instance) posit "what if we converted all cars now to lithium" forgetting that to do that means replacing hundreds of millions of things, which in turn implies factories, ships, shops, tyres, lightbulbs. What actually happens is there is a logistic supply curve change from the dynamics of ICE engines to EV engines, which takes time and we argue about the slope of the line, but there IS no cliff event of 100,000,000 cars being deployed on lithium at once.

So, I really wonder at a 2021 paper which doesn't even reflect on the history of the claims.
Also to be fair, the job "AI ethicist" probably didn't exist as a real thing until a few years ago. So the people in those roles over at OpenAI likely have no idea what they're doing.

This sounds a little crazy. AIDS was definitely discussed in TV in the 80s. First of all on the news all the time, but in prime time dramas and sitcom as well. CNN documents several examples.

St Elsewhere might have been the first in 1983. Golden Girls, Trapper John MD. There was plenty of hesitancy to deal with a difficult subject, and the gay element compounded the difficulty (openly gay characters were not common). But to suggest it was at the direction of the Federal Govt is totally absurd. Reagan was as disliked and mocked almost as much as Trump was.
For my own blogging needs, I chose an even more pragmatic alternative to markdown - email!

Well, email is a actually a single file CMS which contains html, plaintext, attachments/images, and metadata like when the email was sent and the subject line,

With all this, it turns out you can create pretty nice looking webpages without having to futz around with md->html conversions.

The huge advantage is that since I know gmail, whenever I have an idea for a blog post, I can go from idea to published in minutes. The biggest time suck tends to be finding stock photos for the post.

As far as tech stack goes, it’s all serverless. I use SES to handle inbound emails and the excellent nodemailer package to parse .eml files.
I wonder if they keep that private to avoid people finding work arounds.

Well, that's true for most countries. The idea of nation states originated (or at least became popular) in the 19th century. Before that the areas were mostly organized around rulers (like kings).

But it has little to do with the current meaning of the word. I've looked up a few more countries that have the word 'Land' in their name: Weißrussland, England, Estland, Finnland, Griechenland, Russland, etc.

It indeed looks pretty common.

Landlords in supply-constrained cities are able to charge the maximum rent their tenants can afford; and increase in landlord costs is thus not able to be passed onto the tenant, because if the tenant could bear more they would already be charged that much.

This is in aggregate, of course; individual landlords may charge less than what individual tenants can bear but across the rental market, landlords extract monopoly rents already.

That's why you will find rents increase proportionately to incomes, not landlord costs. This is highly apparent in New Zealand, where mortgages are not fixed rates for more than 5 years; interest rate changes have little to no impact on rents, but supply and tenant incomes do.
It's a mechanism to deny attackers access to consuming your stateful resources. Attackers without the secret can't consume any more resources than sending you a packet that you perform a maccheck on.

UDP could be used instead but it's not uncommon for it to get blocked by firewalls. This approach will have its own, but different, issues with firewalls.

This kind of tool is used to do things like allow remote SSH access without getting inadvertently connection and log flooded by overzealous password crackers or exposing the service to enumeration.

It can also be used to protect weaker protocols that don't have adequate security internally (e.g. where you don't trust that they're not exploitable) but that you only need limited access to for emergency purposes.
People's nostalgia for the 90s is really because it was the so-called "end of history" era, where the USSR fell and the US had no real enemies and everything seemed to be looking better. Then 9/11 happened and you had the Iraq war and then 2008. It's only in retrospect after that time that people think "hey, the 90s were actually pretty idyllic and peaceful." Hindsight is 20/20, etc etc.

As for why zoomers are now into the 90s, I think there is some picked up nostalgia from millennials around the 90s by osmosis, kind of like how there was some nostalgia for the 70s in the early 00s, limited as it was for millennials, which I think was about the time the boomers first had their midlife crisis (fits somewhat for now I think).

I'm canadian and our universal healthcare system sucks. It's very controversial here. Universal often means universally bad - picture your typical interaction with the government bureaucracy and imagine that for something important. It's the same reason you wouldn't want government run utilities (which Canada also has)

There is no public list. Someone on reddit compiled a very limited list here: https://old.reddit.com/r/dalle2/comments/wa3jt6/banned_words...

The problem is that they will automatically ban accounts that trigger the filter too much, so people would have to burn a whole lot of accounts to assemble an even remotely-complete list.

I'm confused why you're confused. A discord is just a chatroom server. Click on the chatroom and type your message in the textbox and read other messages. It has native support for things IRC didn't, like emojis, the ability to upload files, voice chat, etc.

Maybe you joined a discord with too much traffic. But I'm in the most popular discord that covers my entire state and #general can go hours without anyone talking.

If you think its too complicated, maybe you're over thinking things.
> it's utterly baffling to someone who thinks about the law like a programmer.

Programmers seem to think about the law like a program, like a set of rules governing system behaviour and so long as they are not directly violated, this one neat trick judges hate will let them do whatever it is without recourse. But that's not true, firstly because the law is fuzzy and deals with human behaviour, including taking wider views, intent and mitigating circumstances into account, and secondly taking decades or centuries of established case law into account too.

It's why things like "smart contracts" are not the end run around the judicial process that their creators would like...

I still don't grok how CRDTs deal with conflicts. Or is it just "this happens so rarely I'll just use last update"?
It could. You could establish a baseline and then have people pay an excess, or just cover it all. Probably only the former is viable.

In the latter case, such a tax doesn't discourage heavy users, it's a lot easier to abuse things when you don't have a direct correlation for how much it's costing; why not have a 1 hour shower? It's only 0.0001c to the taxpayer, and you've had a hard day! Comparatively, if you have to pay for largesse yourself, you may be less likely to splurge as much. Of course, there'll still be a 1% who does because money is nothing to them, but moderately wealthy people won't be so prone to doing so.

We do want to discourage rampant energy and water usage at the end of the day, so fully covering it may not be the best idea.

Imo, it's way better than Slack or Teams. Discord I understand, teams and slack took me a while to grok. It's a chat room, a person can't follow every conversation in every channel in every server. I just hop around between servers and see what's going on, I have 2-3 servers that I actively participate in...then the remaining 99+ servers are there for when I get bored and want to see what's going on. It's not unusual for me to not read a server for a week. The key is that I disable notifications on servers that I'm not actively a part of. The right click -> mark as read for the entire server is nice to get rid of the red icon when I don't care about what's going on.
People have rose tinted glasses of myspace. The majority of pages were crap and you'd sooner close them than try to read them. That's why facebook succeeded. It had a minimal interface which wasn't an eye sore and let you see what your friends were up to. Facebook then failed because it needed to make money, and being a way to keep up with friends does not make money.
Think about it like a large office. You're neither able nor expected to know what everyone says the whole day. Different teams will discuss different things that are not relevant to you. Those are the unread messages.

To function well - leave all the channels you're not actively interested in. You'll be pinged if anyone needs you there. Turn off notifications for things you don't have to know about immediately. (basically all non-@ messages)

For conversations, just treat it like walking into a room - of course you don't know what's been going on while you were gone. You can scroll up some arbitrary number of messages and get to catch up though if you want to.
On the contrary, censorship is effective even if it only makes something less common. No censorship is absolute: Chinese people absolutely know homosexuality exists, what its censorship accomplishes is keeping it the province of the “weirdos”. Towards the same end, the USG regularly uses financial incentives to make one side of an issue 100x more prevalent than the other. It’s actually a more insidious form of censorship, because there’s less legal oversight, most people don’t know that it’s happening, and it’s hard to call out any particular instance of it.
Maybe Google is favoring TPUv4 over whatever GPU runs on its platform?

With Hopper 100 on the way, I wonder when TPUv5 will come out.

I also wonder how Intel's Gaudi2 vs Ponte Vecchio will work together, looks like duplicate efforts for me.

AMD has its MI300 on the way, but it seems still far behind Nvidia|TPU|Intel at this point.
I think a lot of the UX paradigms of Discord were built back when users' first experience was most likely a small server of friends or small communities with only single or double-digit active users at a time. Early on you might join a streamer's server with a lot of users but if you are watching Twitch you probably already had experience with Discord anyway. Once you are comfortable with the interface in a simple, low volume server the big servers are less disorienting.

Now with Discord serving as the platform for massive communities and interest groups outside of gaming a lot of people will have their first experience be a clusterfuck server with dozens each of channels, roles, voice channels, rules, emotes, etc.

I'm not sure what the solution is but I think that's how we got here.
Yes and no. It's fully possible to name your channels meaningfully, but too many people who create Discord servers decide to be cute and ultimately make them unnavigable. Additionally, too many discord server owners get too granular with their channels and end up making their servers into conversation wastelands because you end up having to be in 3 different channels just to share content in the way that you would normally share it in a conversation.
I'm not a Discord power user, just occasionally use it to play games with friends and sometimes view a community. And I find it pretty simple to use. I did have some confusion on how to switch between seeing direct messages with friends and seeing the "servers" but I worked it out and have no issues now. I'm not sure how I'd rather it be done either.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the program. I prefer the UI of Telegram for basic chat and media but Discord does communities better.
I belong to about eight servers. Most of them are support channels for various projects. I added those for one specific issue, resolved it, and now basically never look at those servers, but never bothered to remove them

I also belong to two small (10-20 people) servers that are just friend groups. The message volume is low enough that I can follow all conversations 100% when I want to. It's just like a replacement for group chats/email threads.

Hmm. I write daily, fiction and journaling, and spend a lot of time researching and thinking deeply about writing - and I have some reservations here.

I agree there is almost always some value in writing. However, for many people, when writing a really long work (a novel for instance) that you want to have some cohesiveness, it can pay to sit and have a think instead of writing. Similarly, doing research (for instance going to England if you're writing in that setting) can be valuable instead of writing.

Anyway.
Smoking cigarettes exposes me to the risk of lung cancer.

Being buddies with the Taliban exposes you to the risk of them sawing off your head, or being taken prisoner as an unlawful combatant.

And no, imprisoning unlawful combatants indefinitely is not "illegal", neither under United States law nor under the international laws of war.

If you claim otherwise, I'm going to have to ask for a citation.
It does not scale per the youtube talk though, the promises/futures are competing with shared resource, which is a surprise.
In I, Robot, a scene that showed in the European version did not show in the US version. It was a full body nudity shower scene and the point was to show you how extensive his robotic parts were. They had to find some other means to explain that to the audience in the US and it wasn't even a sexual scene. Just full nudity

Are you sure this is true, and not an apocryphal story? I've seen the German and US version of the movie, and they are identical. There is a nude shower scene in both, and Will Smith uses has hand to cover his groin.

I've seen two interviews, one where he said his penis was so big they had to tape it down, and a second where it was so big, they had to CGI it out because it was distracting. They both seem like they may have been self serving jokes that got evolved into the "full frontal I Robot euro cut."

It is also possible that a Euro theatrical version with full frontal existed, but the DVD/BluRay releases used the US cut.
