I do feel like you just moved the goalposts on me from AI can’t produce this style at all, to can’t produce this style on a level with an experienced human artist. I don’t think anyone is claiming it beats a good human artist. That does not make it useless for stencils.

Again those were my first try and I know nothing about stencil beyond what 2 seconds on Google images could give me. Certainly better than I could produce if you gave me Adobe Illustrator and a weekend. And the image is mine to use as I please, unlike what I could rip off Google Images.

Also, I thought the cat was cute, but there’s really no accounting for taste. Here’s a silly and swirly cat that might be more your thing? This was a cherry picked one of 10 since you have high standards;)

Each application is still largely a siloed experience. AppleScript/KDE's old DCOP/AutoHotKey (see [1])/others have tried to make tge application surface itself machine ysable, something that can be integrared & worked upon, but these old frontiers fade, & the application is more or less king of it's own kingdom, the sole arbitrator of function once more.

Mostly I think we just lack good upstanding examples of positive, extropic, "create more value than you capture" systems. Technocapitalism hasnt seen thr profit motive, and frelling "linux on the desktop" has sucked most of the oxygen out of the computing room- competing for obsolete pre-connected crowns.

Recent "How consumer computer is consuming computing"[2] carries many of these tendrils. There's just fee strong positive innovations to push things the other way. Some efforts like Node-RED try to offer some resistance, something, I though XOPC has a lot going for it (Dbus Telepathy for multiparty apps kicked ass), but there's little awareness & counter-prrdsure against the caging in, except from ever more dispirate edges.

Awesome, tysm!
Everyone should read The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein.
Actually US did a lot to help Yeltsin reelected, never stopped the expansion eastwards, attacked Serbia without UN approval, pushed for Kosovo referendum under Nato occupation, never stopped the military exercises and flights on russian border and tried its best to meddle in Russia's internal affairs and us economists were among those that most pushed Yeltsin for the shock transition towards a capitalist market which led to ghe 1998 default.

I think US did enough divide and conquer and meddling to help bringing back an authoritarian government.

Anyway, totalitarian has a specific meaning, not a random one, it's a government that holds total control on all powers in a country. Stalinist USSR and Nazi germany (modern eritrea and north korea) apply to that definition, Italian or spanish fascisms do not (in both the head of state was the king), even less Russia since it is a de jure democracy.

Marshall plan was tied to occupation though whereby U.S. could direct and correct the first steps of the young post-war German democracy. Nothing like that would be allowed by post-Soviet elites, no matter how much economic help U.S. would offer.

Dylan was never on the Newton. The Newton team had two proposed products, Senior and Junior. Senior was gonna run Dylan, but they kept waiting on the Dylan team to produce something usable, and it never happened. So they gave up on Senior, dumped the notion of using Dyan entirely, and finished Junior using NewtonScript to get the product out the door. That became the Newton.
We can expect it but I'm not sure that means anything. I'd really like people to stop giving Tucker Carlson attention, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

I always had the crazy idea of "infinite entertainment": somehow we manage to "tap" into the multiverse and are able to watch TV from countless of planets/universes (I think Rick and Morty did something similar). So, in some channel at some time you may be able to see Brad Pitt fighting against Godzilla while the monster is hacking into the pentagon using ssh. Highly improbable, but in the multiverse TV everything is possible.

Now I think we don't need the multiverse for that. Give this AI technology a few years and you'll have streaming services a la Netflix where you provide the prompt to create your own movie. What the hell, people will vote "best movie" among the millions submitted by other people. We'll be movie producers like we are nowadays YouTubers. Overabundance of high quality material and so little time to watch them all.
Same goes for books, music and everything else that is digital (even software?).
The us helped that happen, if anything.
Is seems clear that Russia did not fare well in its move from corrupt authoritarian Communism (a tautology if ever there was one) to the kleptocracy which replaced it - often by the hands of the same people. It is just as clear that eastern Europe did fare well by the fall of the Soviet empire. If Gorbachev had succeeded in dissolving the Soviet Union without having Russia descend into the chaos which followed things might have been better but I find it hard to see how something like that could have been orchestrated. It more or less worked in Eastern Germany due to the efforts (financially and socially) of Western Germany. The way this was handled in Russia was scandalous and led the country from one failed economic system into another failing one with the oligarchs and their cronies taking the place of the Party. Which country could have been the 'Germany' for Russia? Who could have dissolved the inefficient state conglomerates like Treuhandanstalt [1] did in Eastern Germany, who would have covered the financial losses?

That's ridiculous. The average Russian in the cold war was living a pretty okay life materially speaking. Far from destitute poverty. The economic crash in 1991 was so devastating it led to millions in excess mortality.
Why would the wages need to increase? UBI is additive to wages. It is not like welfare where one loses the money when one starts working. For the welfare state, you absolutely have to raise the wages to be above whatever the government is giving to those without money. UBI is explicitly intended to do away with that problem. In other words, if someone is willing to work for 20k a year now and we roll out a UBI that gives everyone 12k a year, then the 20k job is still an attractive option and would net them 32k. Now, it may be the case that the wage goes down to 8k which effectively leads to a UBI subsidizing the employers. That would be unfortunate and is a risk, but it certainly does not lead to a disadvantage compared to other countries in terms of employers though it may lead to disadvantages for attracting high earners.

A UBI also opens up the possibility of removing the minimum wage which not only allows for more people to obtain jobs, but also raises the competitiveness with other countries, potentially (it depends on whether the minimum wage is actually effective in raising wages above the market rate).
I think it also could lead to lower life expectancy of the blades. Darker paint tends to lead to higher temperatures.

And warmer blades might be less stiff, decreasing efficiency, and with it increasing birds killed/GWh (but that’s not even guessing from my side; I don’t know whether stiffness would be affected, and I don’t know whether it would affect efficiency, or in what direction)

This is a problem we already have to deal with: people got rich enough that they could afford to pay people to overfish the oceans, and we responded by limiting how much people are allowed to fish.

That is, I don't think UBI adds a new problem beyond "how do we make sure that humanity properly accounts for externalities" and "how do we make sure that AI does what we want it to do".

In the today's war in Ukraine one country - Russia - fights directly, not from proxies, and the other side - mostly USA, but also other Western countries - supply weapons, volunteers, intelligence services, training. It is comparable with Vietnam war, right, but not already with Afghan war of 1980-s, or small conflicts around the world. The scale of war is also quite large, the level of directly fighting forces is much more comparable.
Slippery slope because the first step is hard to pass: share any data.

Then, just share a few of them, not a big step but it starts the machine of making it easy to share more and more little by little.

First IP, then IP and phone nb, then IP, phone nb, and connection log, then IP, phone, connection log, and geodata; then IP, phone nb, connection log, location data; then IP, phone nb, connection log, location data, contacts;
Then IP, phone nb, connection lots, location data, contacts, chats ...

If you look at the "because terrorism" reason, it can apply at any of these data.

No one will say: we think they are terrorist, share their IP but not their location or their chat.

I don't like how ignorant the author is to the history of US climate politics.

The fundamental issue in my opinion is that people (politicians) have made ridiculous, unsubstantiated claims for the last few decades that if they're not personally elected, the world will burn and climate change/global warming will be irreversible. What happens when Al Gore isn't elected and nothing happens? People stop trusting climate change is an issue at all.

Instead of looking into this obvious issue (which would probably require some self reflection on the authors part), she tries to show climate change is real with specific weather events (which is a fallacy all its own, like conservatives saying global warming isn't real because we had a cold snap). Some examples of hers would probably qualify as basically wrong too; like while climate change may have played a role in the CA forest fires, poor forest management certainly plaid a much bigger role as we know for a fact.

Weather =/= climate, and trying to claim that it does now that we've changed names from global warming to climate change isn't the solution
Wry and karmic, but nevertheless an unrealistic expectation.

This is only true if you can afford other options. There is a reason why the CDU wants refugees in the more rural areas. With no means of transportation they are stuck and out of the way of most if not all cities. This is obviously boring asf so crime rates go up which leads to anti refugee sentiment and plays into their agenda. This is a trend across most of Europe and free public transport would 100% ease the situation for the refugees and the people in the area.
That is correct, for any given area you’d expect one 100 year storm for that area roughly every hundred years. When you start seeing them in that area every 10 years or so, interspersed with occasional 1,000 year storms every few decades, that’s an indicator something is going badly wrong.
> Hardly everyone, but left zoomers

I am not a zoomer and I agree with the commenter you are replying to. Most of the "west" has a form of government that is a representative democracy (most of them as republics, but quite a few as constitutional monarchies as well), including the US.

Most people would not waste their time nitpicking the usage of such a widely accepted term.

That goes double if your managment is even slightly MAGA. The literal army of IRS agents coming very soon will be out looking for people to harass and eat the substance our of...

Is this actually a belief that Zuck is so unbelievably powerful that he doesn’t deserve the courtesy of a less confrontational interview, or just a rationalization for the fact that you don’t like him very much and would prefer to see him humiliated?

Confrontational interviews are a difficult style to do well, and probably not a great style for Joe Rogan in particular. If the guest is smarter or at least more quick-witted than the interviewer, the interviewer can be made to look like a fool.

Also, it’s very easy for that style of interview to make people close down and rely on rehearsed talking points. If you really want to know what someone thinks, you need to create a sense of emotional safety for them to open up. Especially these days. You can’t make the interview feel like an interrogation. Even literal interrogators will tell you that.

People in the soviet union definitely did not live in poverty during the cold war.

Average Russian ranked in top 30 for standard of livings and in the first two decades after the war gdp grew more than in US. Richer countries like baltics ranked among the top 20 at times during soviet times. It was definitely not even in all soviet countries and regions, but that's not unlike other countries or regions.
If I had to guess, it's because George Soros is often used as synecdoche for "the vast Jewish conspiracy" by anti-Semites, so your comment sounds an awful lot like "the Jews are responsible for ruining Russia".

Which, uh, sounds a lot like anti-Semitic rhetoric not uncommon in, among other places, Russia.
It's boringly dystopian reading the comments in these threads. Just the most banal commentary on something so severe and something involving so much collective responsibility.

No, not in my experience. It seems to vary by city with drivers and pedestrians, but the only time in recent memory I've had any interaction at all with a driver was when I was jay-walking and they thought I didn't see them. So they chirped, not honked, their horn.

The Reuters article describes Gorbachev as "the last Soviet president." This is technically correct, but misleading. Gorbachev was also the first and the only person to hold that office. Heads of the Soviet Union held the office of the general secretary of the party.
> The United States didn't do enough to help Russia transition to democracy in the 1990s.

This wording implies an accident, or negligence. In fact, it was an intentional and explicit policy of "shock doctrine" economic deregulation and ultra-liberalisation that led to the absolute misery of the 1990s, and the kleptocracy that continues to this day.

Xcode Cloud is a CI/CD setup for compiling and signing Mac and iOS apps. It is not a web or remote development environment like some other companies offer.

Because it can be triggered by pushes into git, you could make changes to existing code from an iPad or PC and get it built. But you can’t (realistically) do anything that requires Xcode such as adding new things to your project or messing with xib files.

The USA put Yeltsin into power with a coup. Then Yeltsin turned over the reins to Putin. To say that the USA "didn't do enough to help Russia transition to democracy in the 1990s" is incredibly ignorant. The USA had no interest in promoting democracy in 90's post-USSR.

Gorbachev was a fool who believed that the USA and the west would not rape his country. We'll never know how many former citizens of the USSR died because of 90's shock therapy.

Not your brain so much, but the combination of the non-mapping of phosphors to pixels, and the fact that the electron beam ramps up and down, rather than instantly turning on or off, causes the pixels to be softened, moreso across a scanline than between them.

Your brain helps too, but in the same way that it helps with every color display device that uses RGB or some variant. Get close enough and you can perceive the individual phosphors or subpixels in either case.

Hi, Simeon from the Chrome Extensions team here. Clipboard access is one of the browser capabilities that currently requires a document to use. We're planning to address this use case (and others that require DOM) by introducing a new capability called offscreen documents[1].

In short, an offscreen document is a temporary headless page that is instantiated for a given reason that requires DOM access. It is not meant as a long-lived background context.
