Wow I'm more than $10 in the red so far after being subbed for 3 months, with an average of around 1200 search per month!

I really hope that their high costs are due to some inefficiencies (e.g. with their current scale) they haven't been able to work out yet, otherwise that does not bode well for the concept of a paid search engine... or maybe I'm just an extreme outlier? I pretty much only ever search for documentation and things like that while I'm working, but I apparently do that a lot lol.

The price they're using seems to be $0.0125/query. I'm assuming that includes business expenses, like dev/admin/salary costs, and not just the raw costs of executing a query.

I guess a price hike to ~$15/mo would cover my particular usage, and I might be willing to pay that much, although I don't think many others would. $10 is already more than a lot of people are willing to pay just for search. Maybe if they bundled some other services into the subscription it would be more appealing? People expect search to be free, but are willing to pay for other services that are probably much cheaper to operate (VPN, password manager, cloud storage, etc)
They are for typical use cases, been using intel gfx for ten years or so. Games? No.
Good drug policy, car-less urbanity, and a good tech scene. With California weather and 1/5 the cost? Sounds great. When can I move?
The initial breakthrough that eventually leads to the creation of AGI will come from one person. The creation of AGI will likely be a incremental process involving small improvements on that breakthrough, made by many people.

This is generally how science works. 99% evolution in small incremental advancements, 1% revolution in a stroke of genius that opens up new areas of science.

No but people care about those things and a university wrongly abusing a small business with heated claims then trying to bail on paying their just desserts is a shame.
What kind of speed does this run at? Eg. How long to make a 512x512 image at standard settings?
That's the wrong question. If you sell housing to non-resident people, you receive money to build more housing. The question should be:

Why does anybody limit supply of housing to the point that prices rise?

The French did a bad job at building satellite cities, but done right, you could connect new housing to the city center like the original Los Angeles street cars.

If jobs don't pay much then you also don't pay much to the builders of new houses which makes them affordable.
The thing Popper misses is that once you rationalize your own intolerance, others will rationalize theirs, missing the nuance of his limit. And, indeed, that has happened.

I can't remember ever seeing anyone other than you mention the limit, and that includes quite a few people quoting Popper to justify their intolerance.

I'd argue that Popper left his wheelhouse when he formulated this. It was at the moment when WW2 was ending and the Cold War was beginning. Philosophers, like most other people, hardly ever think clearly when their emotions are inflamed by current events. They are best when they stay away from the topical.
The standard release works fine, if you tweak the code to use the CPU pytorch device instead of CUDA. It does take about an hour to generate a set of images with the standard options on my AMD 2600 CPU though!

Corbyn also laid a wreath for one of the terrorists, presumably also in the pursuit of peace.

Oddly Corbyn also advocated for the IRA and claims that was about peace too, but the people that negotiated Good Friday state he didn’t have anything to do with the NI peace process either.

Adding to that:

> A contingent from the UK Labour party even visited him to apologize in person for the other guy's "antisemitism".

Excellent. That said, it's not just one other guy - Corbyn's not the only person in the far left.

> Isaac Herzog's abhorrent views

The worst I've seen so far is someone saying Herzog thinks Palestinians fly planes into buildings, which is demonstrably false (in a video he discusses 'terrorists' doing that) and someone else saying he doesn't want his daughter to marry a black man - not wanting your children to marry outside your race is a fairly common view worldwide although rarely said in public in the UK. Oddly Labour is very keen on conservative views when it comes to some races but not others.

If there's something big about Herzog we haven't seen in this thread please spill it here.

> I got a B in Linear Algebra, and I still can't describe why you'd need that in the real world

seems odd in a world full of 3D graphics and machine learning, which are built on heaping piles of linear algebra.
Some people will learn maths much faster than others. A person of IQ 140 will learn calculus in much less time than someone with an IQ of 70. Even if everyone had infinite time I think we would all hit a limit, and that limit would span a very large range of ability.
Hence the answer is no, not all brains are 'good' at math.
I broadly agree with this, but it’s going to be hard if by the time I have kids pedestrian fatalities are still on the rise. The article mentions some statistics that are dropping, but the ones I worry about more are the ones that actually are still increasing, like the chance of my kid getting hit by a car while they’re walking around the neighborhood.
This seems completely unrelated to the comment you're responding to. They were asking how the study figured out what the private opinions were, not about what sort of opinions they were hiding.
Docker | Senior Fullstack Engineer (Business Enablement): https://bit.ly/3TCo3oy

Location: Canada, Mexico, United States

Docker is a remote first company with employees across Europe and the Americas that simplifies the loves of developers who are making world-changing apps. We raised our Series C funding in March 2022 for $105M at a $2.1B valuation. We saw a 4x year-over-year ARR growth last year and continue to grow! Join us for a whale of a ride!

The Business Enablement team provides observability and control for Business users to feel secure and informed about their developers’ use of their Docker subscription. As a Fullstack Engineer, you will propose, prototype, and eventually publish tools and features to solve problems, such as:

How can we allow remote configuration and administration of Docker products?

How can we provide more access management and controls of Docker usage?

How can we ensure effective onboarding and organization of Business users?

You will collaborate with UX designers and engineers to design user journeys and API specifications, using tools like Slack, Zoom, Miro, and Notion. You will be constantly seeking ways to improve development practices to ensure we maintain a high level of quality with a fast pace of delivery. You will help foster an uplifting environment with collaboration and innovation. Finally, you should be passionate about how developers' lives could be made easier, and about Docker's role in that.

Due to the remote nature of this role, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship.

If the best you can say for the current defaults is that they're easy to change, then it's probably time to change the defaults.

The article doesn't just say that dropping privileges is a 'pain', but points out that a security model based on binding a port as root (or another specially privileged user) and then dropping privileges has been a persistent source of security issues.

One story that comes to mind was when I was still relatively early in my career and the COO of the company came to me asking for some help getting some jquery ui tab widget thingie to work.

And as if the words "COO" and "jquery ui" in the same sentence weren't enough to raise eyebrows, what came next was probably one of the most mind bending software engineering episodes I'd ever witness. It turned out he was trying to put together a web UI for displaying a number of reports from some computationally intensive data warehouse query crunching. We're talking visualization of tables and tables full of data. Conventional wisdom would dictate that implementing this the traditional way would involve query optimizations, various layers of caching, separation of concerns, a framework to manage all the complexity, etc, etc, etc. His approach? Just do the naive queries (slow as they were), print directly to HTML old school PHP style, then save the HTML file to disk.

He was a bubbly happy type of guy and you could see the child-like joy on his face when he showed me how lightning fast the thing would load from navigating from one page to another because it was effectively looking at a static website once the pages had been generated once. I distinctly recall feeling a mix of confused feelings at seeing the guy break every rule in the "programming best practices" book and the undeniably good performance results from the sheer dumb simplicity of the solution.
I think your comment hits the mark. People now listen to their music off their phones (headphone or bluetooth speakers), or on the go in their car. Nobody sits down to a desktop to listen to music.

Don't forget about bluetooth speakers, etc where the source is your phone or laptop.
The biggest threat to free speech around the world is the failure to lead by example of the western world, particularly by America. It doesn't matter that we're a few notches better than somewhere else, they see us doing the same things by popular demand so doing a bit more themselves is easy to justify.

We're losing the high ground and the argument that nobody else should do the same things we're doing.
Ok - HN is not the place for partisan politics. But this must be a salient data point about ... something.
I am much more interested in an intermediary step. I would love to be able to use a tool like this to create a comic book. This is after all just static artwork which the tool already creates quite beautifully.

What it would need to be able to do to get from here to there is understand some concepts. The first being "characters". On reddit there was beautiful image that recently won first place in an art contest and its quite frustrated some of the art community. When I was looking at it I thought it was awesome, but wondered at the ability to create another hundred or so images in that same 'world' that the created image was showing. I would want to do something like give it the prompt "tired old medieval knight with a mace and shield" and have it create the character then be able to name it "Tom" or something and feed it more prompts for that characters like "Tom is sitting in a forest brooding" and have it create the same exact character but in a different context.

That would be pretty game changing for opening up amature web comics to a large body of people who have ideas and tell stories but have no art skills to speak of - my stick characters are crooked :(
I commit more frequently, yes, but I will note that it works great in Codespaces if you don't want to run it locally.
But when someone commits a crime, we're not interested in being more parsimonious.

Why do you think being parsimonious is a better objective than being just?

Because things such as local maxima and minima exist, and "local" could be on timescales of decades or centuries.

Also, what metrics are we measuring by? GDP? Happiness? Scientific progress? Species expansion?

It's entirely possible that reducing free expression results in a more stable but more stagnant society, and while that may have immediate benefits, could leave everyone in that society worse off on average than the alternative in a few decades.

To be fair, it's entirely possible that too much free expression could do the same, and the optimal path is in the middle somewhere. I think this is often overlooked, and people think that more freedom of expression is always a good thing, which is odd, because I'm not sure anything taken to an extreme end of a spectrum is necessarily a good thing, and I'm not sure freedom of expression is any different.

The situation in Singapore is different. The foreigners are not high-income people who chose to live there. Only about 28% are skilled labor.

I am worried though, due to their high query cost, are they doing the full pipeline with external sources for simple queries too?

We lived in Spain for 4 years and Portugal for 1. I love the country and the people, but from a management perspective, the place is a disaster. It made Spain feel like some sort of futuristic perfect society managed by hyper-efficient AI by comparison (and that's saying something).

Someone once asked on twitter how to generate a PCB trace of the Big Wave Mt. Fuji print. I thought it was an interesting problem and wanted to solve it with Voronoi stippling, halftones, and some other things. I might have been drunk when I did it because some of what's in the readme doesn't make sense. I think possibly I was thinking that it would be cool to do something similar with point clouds created from photogrammatry or real or generated environments using Meshroom. I could also be just making excuses for why I don't understand why I put Meshroom in the README. Regardless, that would be pretty cool and I might try that idea later.

I think it's a neat technique though. I made a repo here for anyone that's interested.

https://github.com/millerhooks/jacktrace

It made a few really neat examples. I guess I didn't add my favorites to the repo. This one is pretty fun though.

https://github.com/millerhooks/jacktrace/blob/main/Assets/Im...

I only spent a few hours on it but have recently been wanting to readress it. Especially grouping and connecting the vias (stipples) to traces and apply halftones for colors.
It was trained with 400 million images, not a trillion.

That's 11 bytes per image, and since most images are quite duplicative that actually is enough to more or less store every image permutation.
This seems very off base from my recollection and the state of tech availability at the time. The "analog hole" was around for long after the release of Vista, with Vista maintaining support for direct multi-channel analog audio out as well as VGA/component video out at HD resolutions, but that was not a hugely mainstream thing because going analog meant by definition non-perfect results - decoding a digital stream, sending analog, then re-encoding on capture. They started laying the groundwork, but 2007 PCs and laptops didn't commonly have digital output, so playing a DVD over VGA, for instance, was extremely common still and allowed.

And beyond that, this is the first I'm seeing a claim that "doing 3d audio calculations" was restricted and that this had anything to do with intercepting pre-encoded multi-channel DVD/digital media streams. They seem completely separate from each other as far as technical pipelines go.

Sound cards as a general consumer product were dead long before Vista. The last hurrah I remember was the SBLive!/Turtle Beach Santa Cruz era 1998-2001 stuff, Vista didn't come out until 2007 (Longhorn was famously botched, etc...).

CPUs just got fast enough that all of that, including 3d calcs, could be done better on common CPU by the mid-2000s. Do it on a sound card, you have to buy a new sound card to get improvements. Do it directly in the OS or in-game, and you can benefit from improvements from the OS or library or game devs immediately.

What consequences does a CEO suffer if the advice that he gives other CEO's turns out to be wrong?
You could say the same about <countryname> where <countryname> is a popular tourist destination that has over 15% of it's economy based in tourism.
Czechs were the minority property owners in Prague some 20 years ago, already.

Inflation is occurring at higher rates in some countries than others (cough Estonia, Turkey for example) and Portugal is not exceptional in this respect.
The starting salaries for doctors in the Portuguese SNS are terrible, at around 1800 euro for doctors and 1200 euro for nurses. This is insufficient for living in Lisbon or Porto, as the author would agree.

Source: I am Portuguese. I live in central Portugal.

I do not like the authors apparent intentions in trying to incite anti-foreigner sentiments. Portugal has chosen it's own course here, from the Golden Visas to the over-reliance on tourism. Lisbon has it's own management problems that I won't dig into, but suffice it to say that certain places like Lisbon or Porto have become rather expensive, while the majority of the interior of the country continues to be less-inhabited. Our train services were gutted when the public system was privatized and the concession given to a single company.

Monopolies run rampant in Portugal.

Uniquely complaining about PORTUGAL being unaffordable for the PORTUGUESE is such a Portuguese mentality, I can't even.
The author needs to live abroad in some other countries for awhile and see how much this is a general issue relating to so-called NICE CITIES becoming horribly expensive.
No doubt, we will stop being fashionable at some point, when the "next" cool place becomes king, so the real question is whether we will begin manufacturing and developing other sectors of our economy beyond raw-materials export (low in the capitalist pyramid) and tourism. Make furniture to sell, rather than exporting the timber, so to speak.
