Which hash tags can I try out to see that it doesn't lead anywhere because the content gets removed?

Maybe I don't know enough about what bugs the CCP but I can find content with the hash tags #tiananmensquare, #hongkongprotests or about the social credit system in China, each showing thousands of videos with millions of views.

When a video by "Stopcommunistchina" about Tiananmen Square is the top result when typing it into their search bar, I wonder how bad their censorship algorithm must be to miss this.
The model runs on just about anything, it's just a question of how fast. My Intel i7 CPU can use OpenVINO to generate a standard image in about 25 minutes. The M1 can do it in ~45 seconds. For comparison, modern GPUs take about 10 seconds.

Cable shielding often is subpar on industry equipment too. Yes, they have bought shielded cables, no they have not connected the shielding to the expected locations on patch up. Or just wrapped it loosely around, so everytime somebody patches up a new RJ45, you get a new quality situation, cause the vibrations shake the roulett box. Finally, ground.. ground is the yellow green cable and it goes to ground - and ground should be something professional done. Not a network of suffering machinery, pumping hovering potential into one another.

Such a saying is what the incompetent obsessively repeat to themselves. They can't stand by the thought of people who don't need an Internet connection to program, who don't copy and paste from the fools over at StackOverflow, and the many other things they do which their betters don't.

The fools over at Reddit call some things "adulting", because the idea of growing out of childhood is so foreign to them that they'd rather make it childish too. It's the same basic disease.

No, I think that's very wrong, now more than ever. What you read "on the internet" is almost always fabricated and published with manipulative intent and asymetric capabilities to promote a product, lang/skill, or whatever. It's the negative comments you should care about.

Most SpaceX engineers are pretty young not old NASA/Boeing/ULA/Lockheed engineers, funny enough a lot of those people went to Blue Origin.

Also I don’t know what kind of supercomputers you think are running on falcon, but we’ve been landing robotic probes on many planets for decades.

All it would have taken would be NASA funding the R&D and making it part of the requirements. Unfortunately cost effectiveness was never high on their list.

I love free hosting and I really like this setup shown. I've written about some available free options before at https://www.doodles.dev/2022/05/27/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-....

The big problem is that free plans change, requirements change and this leads to a lot more maintenance sometimes, honestly I think I should just get a DO droplet and done with it already.

One of the big examples recently is Heroku removing their free plans entirely, which is a bummer honestly, hopefully we see fly and render get feature parity and the DX we used to get with Heroku. Dockerfiles have recently gotten me to really consider PaaS for more important deployments since the dockerfiles remove basically any worry you can have about vendor lock-in.

The fiascoes of Dieppe and Dunkirk did not really make it clear. The later fiasco of the Allied invasion of North Africa in November 1942 not only made clear that logistics was paramount, but shoved it directly in Eisenhower's face. Then a Lieutenant General, his operation was supposed to overtake Tunisia within a month, but ended up taking almost six months due to poor logistics and coordination. Logistical challenges in Algeria and Morocco allowed Rommel's Africa Corps to consolidate and build force in Tunisia, leading to drawn out conflict. Interestingly, unexpected resistance from Vichy France also delayed the advance. Not many people know that in the early days of our involvement in the war many of our troops were killed by the French! For those interested, a great introductory read is An Army At Dawn, by Rick Atkinson.

At least for me it's not a matter of "ok" or "not ok". It's just deciding what's best to do! Either Jack of all trades (my current approach) or master of one.
>It implies that people aren't actively looking for better solutions to their problems, which is just blatantly false.

No, they don't.

The majority go with the defaults, and most of the rest stick to the first thing that "works for them".

If they try something else it's usually because of either mass promotion (like with Java in the late 90s) or hype by a smaller team of early adopters (like with Node and such), not by patiently looking and evaluating solutions alone.

>Quality always rises to the top. That's a law of nature.

That's not even close to a law of nature.

In fact, "crap rises to the top" might be closer to being that. I mean, if you want a blatant example, see the music top-10.

I totally disagree. Slacktivism is a thing. It's easy, especially when you're jobless or still at school or without any social life or hobbies to be an activist online. It's less easy when you have to face the material world.

Moreover "the internet", whatever the meaning, is not a faithful representation of the "real world". Go tell the millions of people without toilets or working the whole day the slacktivists spending their days on twitter represent their struggle...
It's grim.

I'm in the UK where the government has done less than some EU governments so far to cushion the consumer price rises, and they're predicting the average energy bill to be £7.7k next year. The median UK household income is £31.5k after tax, so that's a big amount to dedicate to energy; more than many households have.

I don't see how we break out of the inflation / less buying power / businesses close / unemployment spiral. Inflation alone was bad in early 2022; the current situation is far worse.

Societal collapse sounds like catastrophising, so let's go with mega-big recession, and Europe being set-back as the bad outcome.

The knock-on destabilisation from our lower purchasing power on China is where it gets "interesting" as their economy is further impacted. The usual cycle to get out of this has been war / reduced population / increased demand.

If my partner's job wasn't tied to being here in the UK and non-transferable (country-level regulations) I would be looking at moving to the USA for the next 5 years, even with the threat of Trump in 2024.

> ... My family lost forty people in the concentration camps, and there was simply no way we could reconcile a belief in god with that. ... I was probably in college before I really understood that other religious practices truly BELIEVED the stuff they were talking about

Interesting to contrast this attitude with that of the Biblical authors who so clearly foretold even those horrifying events: "... If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake."
As I said, if I can't distinguish it, I will stop reading "it" at all. There is no utility in reading text that is not human-generated.
> The proper venue to resolve harassment and defamation campaigns is usually the courts

This is why this perspective is so privileged. You're assuming people have access to a functioning legal system through which to correct the issue. In some rich countries, that'd cost a lot of time and money, which many people don't have. And in some poor countries without a functioning state, that's not even an option at all.

It's also an inversion of morality. You're putting 100% of the onus onto the small time individual to correct the issue, and 0% of the onus onto the large corporation that actively facilitated the harassment in the first place by engineering viral mechanics that encourage mobbing. You're also placing the cost burden onto the taxpayers by burdening the judiciary, and allowing the corporation to internalize all of the gains. The victims and society pay the cost, and the corporation makes money off the victimization that it actively facilitated. It's perverse.

> Twitter is a US company and therefore it makes sense that they would approach diplomacy from a US-worldview.

This is just a made up excuse as to why social media companies should be allowed to actively facilitate a spectrum of outcomes ranging from harassment to populism to outright genocide. I don't care if they are a US company or not. What they're doing is wrong.
The skill gap was what made it valuable. There is not that much value in flooding everyone with generated images that have no story, no person behind it, no effort, no reason to exist, out of place. “Art” is as much about the final image as it is about the person who made it, why she made it and how she got there.

Also there is pretty dystopian angle because these tools balantly stole all the work of artists by “learning” on their work (without pemission). Calling it learning is too nice we all know its just huge visual pattern copy mashup paste machine. People are not gonna invent with this - they just add name of artist they like to the prompt and get to call that their work.

Its not liberation - its exploitation. Its gonna destroy peoples lives by making their hard earned skills obsolete.

Then again it probably wont be so bad. Artists wont disappear and people wont suddenly become artists just because they can write into prompt.
I think if you were to dive into the mailing lists of other databases/software you'd realize that every piece of software has its lingering issues.
> While browsing HackerNews, [...] you might think that PHP is never used nowadays because whenever it’s mentioned, everyone is hating on it in the comments.

This is one of those things that "everyone knows". It may have been true at some point, but it definitely isn't true anymore. The reality is that most discussons here treat PHP fairly, giving it credit where it deserves it and also pointing out its weaknesses.

Examples:

- (2022) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32325055 : top comment praising PHP

- (2022) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30219984 : the top comment is a fairly positive comment overall, without falling into zealotry.

- (2019) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19917655 : the top comment is someone praising Laravel and the "modern" approach to php. The general feeling is that PHP got some things right (shared-nothing), doesn't offer anything particularly unique but is surprisingly effective in reality.
Stressful driving is the worst … I try to avoid. It costs so much energy, is dangerous and risky.

On long distance drives with my car I enjoy driving fast. In Austria the speedlimit is 130kmh, driving 145kmh kill the monotony … casual overtaking, nothing worse to drive 3 or 4 hours with the same pace.
In Germany 80% if the highways are unlimited, 160kmh is really nice traveling speed.

I will say that in my own experience, if you go against the zeitgeist on HN you can often get by as long as you're sensitive/respectful and intelligent on the issue. There are people who downvote things they disagree with, but I think most people on here downvote people who sound unconstructive or argumentative.

And at the end of the day, if you're respectful etc, who cares about being downvoted or having people argue back to you? Just take it on the chin.
I have no idea what "external corruption" is - is there a definition for this term somewhere?
“a substance (not being a prohibited drug) which, for the purpose of its being supplied, is represented (whether verbally, in writing or by conduct) as being a prohibited drug or a specified prohibited drug, for the purposes of this Act and the regulations, be deemed to be a prohibited drug or the specified drug, as the case requires.”

Nope. Claiming that the 3g of powdered sugar is cocaine? You’re getting done with supply.
First of all, it is not correct statement about all social animals.

Agreed. I'm also not sure how this is practically supposed to work if they really publish the entire model. Right now, all they do is design a specific license, right? Or are there certain safeguards built into the model itself?

That being said, I'd still think publishing the model (vs keeping it as a closed-source API) is a good move. Otherwise, we'd move forward into a world where one of tge most significant technological advancements must be gatekept forever, which I'd frankly find even more dystopic.
