Does KF refer to the posters on the site, or the site itself? When you say "KF doxxes" I assume you mean the posters, but it's not clear and in that case they would generally have no liability from 3rd party posters.

> I don't follow, KF doesn't remove, and even tacitly (and not so tacitly) encourages, harassment, while that isn't true of FB or twitter or even reddit.

If "harassment" is the legal type (i.e. true threats), that's not first amendment protected and those who post it can be charged criminally. That's not generally something the platform is liable for.

That said, FB and others have been sued in similar circumstances:

I guess, I hate to be more pessimistic than I already am, but when I see pointless petitions to “Facebook: Stop Group Recommendations” I don’t see anyone over there truly “fighting the good fight”. I think GNU is a far better example of this type of action.

I think an open source foundation has to stand on the shoulder of a valuable product to get noticed. GNU has all of its things, Mozilla is an acoustic guitar busker playing “bulls on parade by Ratm” outside of a Barnes and Nobles.
It's worth mentioning that there was also a very controversial post on HN about Chinese game companies having to do exactly this. There were discussions about things like using cameras and machine learning to verify someone's age but that also is putting a camera into the room of a child (nothing can go wrong here...). There are people condoning as well as advocating for these systems. But I think we're coming to a turning point in our society where we are going to either abandon privacy all together or shift away from surveillance capitalism. Either option will have dramatic changes on our society.

Other programmers can be harsh critics and it's important not to internalize these critics. This isn't a knock on other programmers, but the criticism is often based on their own perfectionism!

> I see 1 as an existential threat that can crumble nations

Agree, yet consider this. During early COVID-19 crisis Earth civilization spent some many billions - I think above some trillions actually - USD equivalent fighting this rather little-known problem. Spending this kind of money on climate crisis can substantially improve things.

> I see 2 as something troubling

Plastic pollution is somewhat similar to early COVID-19 - we don't know long-term effects from this type of poisoning of our environment, so I'd err on the side of caution. It's not a good idea to keep microplastics in human organs - we just don't know how it could turn out to be, and we have reasons to suspect that our bodies, not evolved alongside the plastics, don't appreciate that.

> We ask “How long will it take?”

That is the first problem. We should be asking several questions, and the value of their answers would be weighted against business goals.

How long will it take?

How will it affect future development (pace).

How will it affect the forced total rewrite date (a broader view of the previous question).

And my favorite, how difficult will it affect provability of system behavior? This point is greatly affected by frameworks which impose their own conventions (which change over time).
My static site sits behind cloudflare and logs to /dev/null. It's possible (actually pretty easy) to configure things like this.
yeah but how they prove you aren't a child, for a child safe default internet ???
Are you implying that if cloudflare kicked a nazi off their services, that would murder them?
It already is..

> that's because creating software is all about making human artifacts, not studying the natural world and that's an inherently subjective task

Electronic circuits are also human artifacts, but there objectively valid principles and practices for developing those. Of course there are also opinions and subjectivity on some characteristics that generally don't matter to the actual functionality, but that seems far from where software development currently is.
I do not in fact dislike Jon Stewart. I don't know him personally, but I am capable of critiquing people I also think have done positive things, which I think he has. It is unclear to me if you are -- that's the culture war, indeed, thinking that everyone must be either all bad or all good. I do not believe I have changed my stance at all, this is something i have spent some time thinking about and have a thing I think about it. But ok.
We just did a SOC2, and were encouraged not to do endpoint stuff in it. You can ask your auditors to require MDM, but you don't have to, and shouldn't.

You can pick which apps to enroll in SSO; you don't have to pay the sso.tax on everything. Most of the time it's not material anyways.
It was as if they hadn't realized the amount that people draw from their work.

I think that thinking people massively underestimate the influence that cartoons have on common people.

It seems like 90% of the people who argue against religion on the internet got everything they know about religion from cartoons like South Park. Or everything they know about Texas from King of the Hill.

There was a newspaper article a few years ago about how some massive percentage of Britons thought The Simpsons was an accurate depiction of Americans, and didn't understand that it was a lampoon.
The bill says that if the site can't prove that their user is an adult then they apply the same safety standards to everyone.
I’m glad Userify works well for you. For my purposes, whipping up a couple of cronjobs involving curl and OpenSSH is more appropriate than relying on an external cloud service.

> But I've been burned before when a central auth server was down and I couldn't log into my servers

There is no central auth server involved here. My servers check login credentials against the CA’s public key, which is installed alongside my sshd config file. I make my certificates valid for three weeks, but regenerate them every two, so if some failure happens with creating or fetching certificates I have a week to notice and fix the problem.

If I read this correctly: if you aren't collecting the info (for ads, etc) you don't need to verify anything. A non-tracking, non-data surveillance website is fine.
How much of this can you just chalk up to using concrete and just copying the design of a normal bike? This is a fun art project but doesn't seem like much more.

Sorry for being negative about an art project. I think I was projecting my own biases, but it sounded like an engineering project and then I didn't learn anything.
Different people have a different "style" for this. I prefer to work people whose style is similar to mine. I think most people are the same way. That's all this comes down to, sadly. There's no formula to that will ever solve this mismatch.

Be tolerant of others and gently suggest they can help themselves, in the future, by helping you. Be thankful for the times you get to work with people who share a common style with you.
Yes, I would formulate this as the distance between the mental model of the functionality being implemented and the structure of the code. The interesting question is how to design programming languages, libraries and tooling so that gap remains small.

I think you missed my point about dividing the working class

Capital owners want us to be angry about things like this because it prevents progress for workers. Nearly everyone who has a degree is a worker. Instead of being angry about how the system fundamentally operates in favor of those who own capital, we squabble over crap like this.

I'm not saying there isn't a problem with tuition costs, there absolutely is
At that point why bother with cloudflare? if you have a credible legal case to take down the hosting of the website you make a legal case in the place where it is being hosted and use that to get it down. I can't really see any reason for a court of law to force cloudflare to not service someone given that the obvious implications that the one asking for that to happen wants to commit a felony, or at the very least make the target susceptible to one, assuming cloudflare isn't hosting anything of course.
That's a good solution for data that is being sent to users, but doesn't help when it comes to data being collected by sites and services.

Your experience is quite common, especially when new to prompting. You can get more control by checking prompt guides, but this still leaves a lot to be desired.

You seem to have missed the main point of the article this thread is based-on though. With img2img, you can input a kid-level MS paint input and control composition in detail. With inpainting you fix individual parts, with outpainting the surroundings/background. With text inversion, you can reuse successful parts in any context. People are even making the first videos and animations.

All of this is available today, not years from now. The workflows are still clumsy, but it's been a week. Many people are working on the UI to streamline all of this. You're severely underestimating progress.
I would default to calling all content adult-only, to be safe legally. Then, the moderation burden is deciding which ones are child-safe, which is probably a lower hurdle. But still, to be on the safe side legally, I wouldn’t want to mark any user content child-safe. And so we’d end up with the same system we have today.

Oh there’s a lot of fun concepts to muse about. But one is brakes.

That aside, at least it wouldn’t get stolen in Amsterdam.

Which reminds me of something a friend did. He lived in a neighborhood where anything visible would be stolen. So he took an old computer tower case and filled it with concrete. Then he left it on his front porch.

Predictably some guy tried to steal it. The poor fool managed to move it one house over before giving up and dropping it in the street.

After many months of waiting on my invite I got it and I entered the prompt which is my greatest fear for some reason "a red eyed hairy spider with human hands as feet" I got a warning about violating policy/harmful content etc or something. Not only that, the results I got were super underwhelming, after playing with it for a half hour I haven't looked back. Now playing with SD and an upscaler, there is no limit to what I can create. Also I always found it funny the company name hilarious. "Open"AI.
Honestly none of that is relevant.

The entirety of the investment made by VCs is given directly to developers. That's got nothing to do with daily volume, market cap, etc - that's cash in hand. Human dollars. What developers choose to spend that money on is up to them but they sure do seem to have found a way. Arbitrarily constraining the analysis to the 'free' part is disingenuous.

As for offsets, the entire model is bogus and I encourage you to look into it. It's generally just a way to prop up bad business models. You can't buy crime offsets from someone who promises not to do a crime they would have otherwise so that you can do it - and yet that's exactly how carbon offsetting works. That's to say nothing of that blockchain carbon offsetting company that set fire to the forest they were planting twice. [1]

The top-end players operate way outside the norms for mid-market (as in, the "trimodal" software developer comp graph). Among the 8 or so software job offers I've accepted in my career, I don't think I've ever had one take more than 7 calendar days from initial contact to an offer.

I do see some paying mid-market rates and taking a month or more for their process. I bet they believe it's very hard to find software developers.
The Advice Gap
SSH provides native support for certificates; they’re a custom (non‐X.509) format. The signatures are generated with the ssh-keygen command; I set my infrastructure up purely by reading the manpage, not referring to any blog posts or anything, so I think the documentation is a good way to get started.

There have not been enough court cases to tease out the detais. Broadly speaking, it will hinge on a very subjective interpretation of "transformative." If it's transformative enough, the person who ran the machine can claim copyright (assuming there's not some entanglement built into the software itself attempting to claim copyright for all products it generates), not unlike how a person who operates the camera claims copyright on the photograph.

(To my eye, it's extremely transformative because there's no single, or even three or five, pieces of artwork you could point at to see where the AI derived the data from, but IANAL).

Hi there! Traditionally, skin bleaching products contain mercury, hydroquinone, and steroids. Mercury is a toxic heavy metal. Hydroquinone in particular has been banned from OTC products - see article here for some of the reasons why: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-w....

You're completely right that some of our ingredients are specifically included to fade/lighten (whatever terminology you want to use) dark spots, because that is an outcome our customers are looking for. However, we have chosen ingredients like azelaic acid and tranexamic acid that are much safer compared to existing solutions.

Regarding tyrosinase inhibitors like tranexamic acid: There is a scientific reason why these ingredients must be included. People of color tend to get more dark spots and scars because darker skin has a tendency to produce more melanin when irritated. So when you get hormonal acne, for instance, the skin becomes irritated and inflamed. The inflammation causes your melanin production to go into overdrive, resulting in the spot or scar that comes after. Including tyrosinase inhibitors like Tranexamic acid (at safe levels) is not meant to whiten overall skin tone. It is meant to prevent the overproduction of melanin which causes spots.

Hope that helps!
Why is the media insisting on the vernacular "child porn" in usage and references to articles?
It is child abuse, plain and simple.
Something that is often ignored in favour of the former descriptive wording. Editors need to take note of it.

A more charitable version of this argument would build in a series of degrees as to how likely those denigrations are to make stochastic terrorism occur. For example, vague insults directed at a group of people are less likely to cause terrorism than ones associated with a single person. Insults that come loaded with implicit threats (like doxxing) are much more likely to cause stochastic terrorism than those without. Insults and threats against groups who are marginalized in society are more likely to cause terrorism. Insults made in a space full of mentally deranged people are more likely to cause terrorism.

With all of this, it's clear that if you're going to argue that stochastic terrorism even exists, you should believe that it is happening at Kiwi Farms. Incredibly personal, incredibly specific (doxxing), directed at marginalized people, and in a space full of people that are already predisposed to acts of violence.
Yes you can, convince your friends to deactivate their social media accounts where\when they're harrassed or aggressively block those who harrass them. Teach them tips and tricks to bully back (bullying is really easy). Find them mental health professionals and services, and possibly help them financially with those services.
Except for of course when number 2 fails which is quite often.

We had a similar rotation on Chrome team for merges from WebKit (pre fork), and it was similarly a lot of work and clunky tooling!

A few times in my career (including this one) I have thought, "We are sure going to a lot of effort to maintain a modified copy of that code while also preserving our changes atop it as we sync, and this is exactly the kind of workflow that Git was designed to enable." Like, the Linux kernel dev workflow is all about different maintainers maintaining different branches and merging between them, and that is where Git comes from.

So in a setting other than Chrome I have tried out using Git to try to manage these sorts of situation. I have found in practice many engineers aren't comfortable enough with Git to have it end up helping them out tooling-wise. This is disappointing but also not too unexpected given Git's UI.
You are thinking much too small, friend. Spin the earth faster and we can finally get rid of leap seconds.
> I did not say it was a government service, I said a platform functions a lot like a government service, especially when multihoming is limited due to switching costs.

> I can see you're not interested in discussion at this time. No worries, we all have those days.

The same to you.
Thanks so much! You actually hit the nail on the head :). People do want solutions but they want safer ones.

Skin bleaching refers to the use of toxic chemicals that are endocrine disruptors. Here's a great article outlining the issue: https://www.cnn.com/specials/world/white-lies-skin-whitening.

We're working on safer solutions for dark spots that do not contain hydroquinone and mercury.

I'm inclined to agree, but if it were coherent I'd take it over what platforms like netflix do and chop off the tops and bottom of the content so it'll fit 16:9.
Ooh, that's good. I'd be most helpful if there were standardized content warnings so that parents could select what they're ok with. E.g., here's one list: https://thetvdb.com/taxonomy/movie/22

Also interesting is this site: https://www.doesthedogdie.com/

Maybe this could go beyond parents. There are whole classes of image that I'd like to have to choose to see. E.g., if I'm eating breakfast and scrolling through Twitter, I don't need to see, say, mangled flesh in an accident photo. If there were standardized content tags, then parents could tell browsers to block outright and adults could make it click-to-view.
