In the spirit of both this app's purpose and your desire for purity on the Kindle, I could see this being a perfect companion to Longreads type sites where I rarely want to read a 25 minute article on my laptop or phone and so frequently skip the article altogether.

I mean forget a hypothetical copypasta, somebody deadass patented forcing people to say ad slogans: https://preview.redd.it/ggwu7pq5h61y.jpg?auto=webp&s=7e12417...

If y'all remember those "solve media" captchas there were a few years back, forcing people to watch an ad then type a slogan? Yeah this would def happen.
If government comes to you and says “this should be taken down due to X reason” then it is government censoring. China does the same thing. I linked elsewhere in this thread examples of the government asking Facebook or Twitter to censor directly.

There’s an implied threat. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this previously. I expect in the next couple years as court cases about the censorship work through the courts, the same thing will happen again.

If the government was silent and the censorship occurred then MAYBE it’s legal. That of course depends on if it’s a common carrier or public space. Both arguably are true for social media, but again it takes time for the courts to figure it out. I would concede that point, but again government asked for the censorship here.
Haha same! I was convinced because honestly the switch statement looks really nice

> That's the real choice we have to make, and I'm not willing to accept a no-growth world

We live in a mostly closed system, except for the solar energy beamed from the sun. So hard choices will have to be made sooner or later. Taking action now should lessen the impact once the easy energy runs out.

So you can believe and accept what you like, but the laws of physics aren't negotiable. 8 billion people cannot live like most United Statians do today. Asteroid mining and planetary colonies are not going to scale enough to change that, even if we boil the oceans trying.
While I like this idea in isolation, I think it would just lead to sponsor insertion which is hard to skip. Like product placement in movies.

You can't skip the sponsored segment if literally 100% of the video has HelloFresh boxes in the background, or if an important part of the video happens while the creator coincidentally eats a bowl of Keto cereal.

Or what about those LinusTechTip videos where Intel gives them $5k to build a dream system for an employee (Intel based, of course). I find those entertaining but they're really just 20 minute long Intel advertisements.
I like sqlite although technically there’s quite a bit of code there. But overall it seems pretty straightforward to determine what does what and why.
I've worked in offices where everyone is super busy but seemingly little to no progress is made. It's really maddening.

One time I put together a strategy where the recommendation: "watch and wait". The idea was - there wasn't any work to do, what we had was "good enough" and flexible to be a good option no matter if the market shifts, and our job was to watch the market over the next quarter, observe, and collect insights. We were anticipating market changes, so any work done now might be worthless in 3 months.

People weren't comfortable with that at all. Clearly we should kick off some new product feature, or engage new start-ups on something innovative. We had to do something.

It reminds me of that scene from the movie Ronin when they are waiting for more information on the target:

Gregor: It would be nice to do something.

Sam: We are doing something. We're sitting here, waiting.
I also avoid sites that only have social login. Don't think it is odd at all.
For a while I had a phone with a broken camera. Got a new job. Company requires scanning a QR code to authenticate. "I can't - my phone's camera is broken." IT has no idea what to do. After two days of being locked out of services needed to do my job they finally manage to add an exemption for 24 hours to my account. The exemption somehow stands to this day.

No, they did not provide a work phone.
It'd be fantastic if we could persuade some local governments to try this and work out the bugs. If it went well, it could be adopted by more and more locales.
My point was censorship, not who’s doing it.

There’s a faction / ideology (across all party lines) in the west that is doing the same thing as China. For the same reasons “to be respectful to one another”.

That’s kinda the point I’m trying to make.
Minecraft for productivity: a meta-OS-like app for all tools and content
A meta-layer app is almost like a meta OS specifically designed for productivity. The core features of an OS are able to run other software and provide common services. Note-taking is the most common feature for productivity apps, and a web browser provides the capability to open any web-based software.
Just wait until they figure out that Apple's LIDAR causes cancer if you scan yourself with it 15 times a day.
I mean it depends on where you draw the line between something and nothing right? If you take it to the extreme, then the only way of doing nothing is to not even exist.
Before y'all downvote as speculation: apple is literally working with cloudflare and a bunch of other companies on using attestation to replace captchas. Seems like it could roll easily into that.
Thanks for reminding everyone that computers in all their glory and usefuleness, with all their AI will always remain a tool in service of human beings.
This is exactly the kind of thing a newly cashed up bogan would do.
I don't know if they saw it coming or not, but frankly I'm glad it did.

This idea of "technology gatekeeping" sickens me. I'm tired to death of people saying some non-sensical horseshit like, "The technology is too dangerous to be turned over to the hoi polloi!!"

Give me a break... as if someone running StableDiffusion on their home system and creating naked centaur-women out of pictures of Kate Beckinsale and anime waifus out of Ariana Grande photos are going to cause the downfall of the modern era.

StableDiffusion didn't upend the table... StableDiffusion gave the plans to the printing press to every person out there that wants to learn how to make their own print shop... and more power to them all, I say. I've had more fun and learned more about AI models in the past week than in I've had with AI in the past year, and I've been using img2img to feed my own art into SD to create whole new works that I've been able to touchup in Photoshop and upscale to print resolution.

This is truly the kind of computing revolution that I love to see, and that comes around all too infrequently. The good from this will far, far outweigh any negatives.
A counterpoint to consider: "The Enigma of Peter Thiel": https://johnganz.substack.com/p/the-enigma-of-peter-thiel
What I find fascinating is that rates of COVID vaccination among young children and infants is extremely low.

https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/covid-1...

2.8% for under-5, and at the time of writing vaccination rates had peaked and were declining, from an eyeball of the graph, 5% would be an optimistic asymptote. The CDC recommends that all children from 6 months to 5 years be vaccinated.

What this suggests is that there is in fact an overwhelming majority of people across all demographics of race and political persuasion, at least among the ages of about 20-40, who have some skepticism of government guidelines, who have some concern about vaccine risks, and who have some doubts about its benefits.

So really, they're all "science deniers", and they don't "trust the experts". Where they differ is only a matter of degree of denial, doubt, and mistrust. If you think the Pentagon was hit by a missile but the WTC buildings were a controlled demolition, or you think we went to the moon most of the time but faked one or two, that vaccines cause just a little bit of autism, or that climate change is happening it's just not man-made, you're still a conspiracy theorist right?

So it's interesting that the 5% have not brought out their pitchforks to attack the 95% who aren't unquestioningly subservient to the government and its experts. What that says is that they were never really attacking people for having doubts and questions, but something else. Just an excuse to attack the hated "others", perhaps? Anger at their level of unwillingness to be subservient to their favored regime maybe. Really makes you think.
Kinda related:

I watched a video essay on YouTube about Chinese horror movies and why they are so bad.

The reason was not just regulatory constraints (the ghost turns out to be a dream, because you can’t have ghosts in movies) but also that these changes on quite short notice.

So if you have an idea for a movie and you think it can wriggle around the current regulatory restrictions you better hurry up and film and edit it as fast as possible.
StableDiffusion has an open dataset, was funded by one guy, and apparently took "much less than $600k" to train on AWS (https://twitter.com/EMostaque/status/1563965366061211660).

So it seems there actually aren't many barriers to entry at all. There's certainly a lot of legal questions, but if it's this easy to create your own model then it's hard to enforce anything…
No, read their post again. They're referring to people's perception of Twitter enforcement being strange, not twitter's enforcement.

Anyone in China? Do they still have those dvd carts on the streets? Or did they lose out to streaming?

What about torrents and such? Have they been blocked by the firewall or is pirated movies still readily available online?
Every ISP could also block these sites... Yet few do....
> An hardware store that puts a sign for a particular kind of painting is not doing advertising, it's promoting some product because maybe they have better margins on it or it sold so badly that they wanna get rid of what they have left

That sounds like a form of advertising to me. The hardware store is placing something in public view in order to cause a different behavior in the public. That's advertising. Being done in-house, rather than subcontracting out the advertisements to another company, doesn't change its nature.

> cross selling serves the purpose of giving customers options related to the product they are buying or using, like a train company asking if you want to buy food.

So, cross selling is a form of advertisement, done for a different department within the same company.

> cross selling is easy to avoid: just ignore it.

I wouldn't say it is easy to "just" ignore any type of advertisement. They are crafted to be as difficult to ignore as possible.

> because they are different representations of the same thing.

Exactly! Just as a "script" and a "program" are technical terms that are merely different representations of the same thing, calling it "cross selling" or "up selling" or "promotions" are just different representations of advertising. There's no difference to the public between them.

Asking for a friend.
I couldn't agree more. This is written from the perspective of a manager so I am likely asking a bit too much from the reader to make the connection. Thank you for the feedback!

My experience tends to be that managers will rarely get help to manage the teams WIP and it's often left to that same manager to provide that mechanism of back-pressure. But if they then don't, for whatever reason, then it can be bad news for the team.

I'm weeks away from going on a significant period of leave and I sincerely hope that the precedents I have set carry forward during my absence.
Ask HN: Which MOOCs in Math/CS are worth still worth taking in 2022?
MOOCs doesn't necessarily mean courses on platforms like edX or Coursera. They can include university courses with public materials like videos, notes, assignments, etc.
Yeah a lot of these articles are basically “it couldn’t read my mind so it’s bad”. I’ve employed a few artists before and the workflow is quite similar to the version 0.1 we’re dealing with for AI art now.

Explain your concept and then get 1 out of 10 illustrations kind of in the right direction, start iterating on that for a few generations and so on.
I'm not sure if you have a point?

This comment from the author was an interesting perspective on how it'll impact the market for illustrators.

> "Those "clients" [who just need an image and don't care about the quality] you are talking about don't really exist. I know they do, but on a practical level they don't for us freelances. It's a long debate among graphic designers and illustrators.

> To explain it simply, there are two big categories of "clients" for graphic designers, illustrator, photographers etc... 1-Those who want good stuff and can pay,

> 2-Those who don't care/can't make the difference between good and bad, and/or who don't have money.

> The first category is the only "real" clients who exist, on a practical level. They are the only one I work with, like any illustrator.

> The others, AI or not, will NEVER pay for a "real" illustrator anyway. Never. That has nothing to do with AI. I know them, they contact me often. Then I tell them my rates, they try to negotiate, then they give up. I never ended up working with them.

> They either contact a very junior illustrator who have no idea what they are doing, or they buy cheap illustrations on Shutterstock. They don't have money to spend anyway. They will do the same horrible images with AI that they already do with shutterstock. If they "leave" the market, it will impact nobody."

I honestly don't care how many jobs AI will replace, it's a neo-Luddite argument. The point of AI is to replace jobs, and I certainly won't stop human progress just because some people won't have a job in the future.
The comparison is with blowing up hundreds of tons of fuel below and around a capsule filled with people, like half a dozen times. Give them a little flexibility on building codes. NASA rockets explode and catch fire due to weather and normal flight.
Good. It's more environmentally friendly streaming. Imagine 220 million Netflix subscribers ordering 5 DVDs/month. That's 1.1 billion DVDs that need to be mailed twice every month.
I think you could indeed call it a coincidence because it's exploiting behaviors that are not really a proper ABI, just emergent behavior based on implementation details.

Someone working on the various operating systems could change those behaviors without knowing that they're breaking this thing. And they wouldn't necessarily be in the wrong to do so. Because it's not really an ABI.

Kudo’s for being proactive in looking out for the futures of your students.

In technology, it’s best to be the one who makes your own technology obsolete. The arts are one of the oldest drivers and consumers of technology.

Commercially, technology needs to amplify the productivity of artists. It should compound the advantages they have over the untrained.

I see the self-service model of illustration and content creation as potentially increasing the demand for skilled professionals. Most amateurs will probably produce generally low quality work, if judged by professional standards. But they’ll create way more of it. Directors (of even small projects like commercials) will draw their own concept drawings and story boards to get their ideas down on the page. But then if they want something cleaned up, or done professionally, they have a much better starting point to communicate with a real artist. Clients will also be able to visually convey some of the edits they would like to see in the professional works.

I wonder if they ended up adding so many MLCCs to the top of the substrate to try to hit the higher frequency targets (especially with higher multicore power draw), or if they were required due to the different process or uArch changes.

Probably the former, which isn't as interesting, but it is visually striking either way.

People who publish open-source projects, what makes you confident to do that?
Writing some patchy code for some personal project is one thing. But publishing well structured and documented code to the world as an usable package is another thing.

People who do that on a regular basis, what made you capable or confident enough that you can trust your own code to run on other people's machines without the fear of failure?

Was it some specific topic in CS or something that gave you that confidence boost? e.g: some people say I gained confidence after taking an OS course or a Compilers course. Is it like that or is it by reading other people's code?
This has nothing to do with Ukraine, that's just the cherry on top. At the end of last year - when prices were already at record levels - I remember reading an article about gas storage levels in Europe being unusually low.

It estimated that given the rate at which gas was being imported, a cold winter could easily use up all gas in storage. Fortunately last winter was rather mild.

They have to sell the property and send the $10m back?

I don't get that. Surely there is ground for "the mistake is yours, the money is gone" approach? Wouldn't you fight this, since it happened 9 months later?

I understand they're free riding the cash, but they didn't make the mistake. So in my mind, they didn't steal the money?

Let me put it this way... if it were $1,000 over $100 instead of $10M, would they go so hard after the money? I'm pretty sure that whatever contract they signed with crypto.com didn't say repay us if we overpay you during a refund...
I'd say it's mostly a lack of understanding. Cryptocurrency != (bitcoin || ether).

Problems that have been solved in a "Traditional Finance" setting (eg. clawback, chargeback, dispute resolution) are either solved or being worked on by many different cryptocurrency projects.

The question which remains to be answered is whether or not cryptocurrency can solve problems that TradFi can't solve or can it solve them in a better way, or more efficiently, etc.
No, I don't think it could cache the result. That would defeat the whole purpose. People sometimes use other peoples' devices. The web site needs to know who's visiting this site, not who visited the last one. So it's going to have to scan the user's face each time.
What do you find better? I've used IRC and various forums and they're definitely harder to use than discord.
The diversity march advocates for the freedom to express oppressed minorities. I think it's philosophically a vulgar view of liberal diversity is that diversity is also defined as the ability to also tolerate groups that systematically suppresses its people of diversity (a view that Alexander Dugin espouses).

SEO was always a good argument to adopt some of the microformats. Search engines can make use of that to pick apart content. It's just that we have a few more tools than just microformats for that now; including some structural html 5 tags.

What died out is attempts to do stuff with microformats via browser extensions. This was once a thing that e.g. MS did when they launched Edge. Those extensions have largely disappeared or just never really caught on.
