> It is a disservice to muddy the waters that way every time any weather event is discussed.

Yes, but Climate Change absolutists do this /every single time/ there is a drought, or a hurricane, or a bad string of storms, a warm winter, or whatever. If you expect the other side to take the science seriously, you also can't turn a blind eye when politicians and media of a certain persuasion do the exact same thing in reverse.

As mentioned in parent comment:

> Signal does not care about users and prevents backups on iOS. Lose your device or delete the app due to some issues and reinstall? All your chats are gone!

Switching out devices is something that happens often enough for many users that transferring history should not be an ordeal. Even the most careful users will occasionally break their phones, and sometimes people need to switch platforms for whatever reason.

WhatsApp suffers from this issue too, at least when trying to migrate histories between platforms.
The limit for a .COM's useful payload is 64KiB, but that wouldn't necessarily prevent the actual file from being bigger, with either truncate or wrapover semantics.
Wow, somehow I missed this one with all the whirlwind of image models recently. It’s very illuminating how the capability keeps scaling in their examples.
> People with eyebrows halfway up their forehead or below their eyes were sufficiently unattractive that those combinations of genes didn't propagate.

What we find attractive is also genetically determined, though. If very fit (in an evolutionary sense) people started to develop eyebrows half way up their face, that would quickly lead to a population of people who found that hot.
Calibrating using known objects should be possible. Most road sign dimensions are specified in national laws, motor vehicle headlights must be a specific distance apart, etc.
For a single image, you'd need some heuristics to distinguish curved objects from camera distortions. If you have multiple frames, you can SLAM your way out of the problem (essentially, match features and solve a big fit which optimized feature positions, camera positions and camera distortions). But by far the easiest option is to just calibrate it, through https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/dc/dbb/tutorial_py_calibration.h... or one of the many alternative methods.
Amazing what can be accomplished by smashing together a bunch of trash off AliExpress and GitHub.
I’d be terrified that you’re getting fake pet food, as that seems less risky than faking human food.
That's too bad. I was hoping Germans would massively vote option 3. They are a privacy conscious people after all. And that option would bring it in line with Signal (with the unfortunate difference that not all chats are encrypted by default)
You and I know how the marketplace system works.

My 70 year old uncle might just -reasonably- assume that buying from walmart.com is the same as walking into the store, and comes with the same return and quality guarantees. Stuff in the store is very much vetted, and individually chosen. Shelf space is an incredibly valuable commodity and any retailer knows not to just give it away. I don't know why e-store search results aren't seen as equally valuable.

That same uncle might not care, or even know, about the brands that make commodity computer hardware. I built my own gaming PC, and, beyond the processor I would have to double check the brand names on the other components (AMD GPU, but I don't know who made the card off the top of my head).
Your current job/profession/career can be seen as an investment to your dreams.

You can find meaning in just about anything if you try hard enough.

So nix Nix?
For others that are trying to avoid 3rd party sellers: look for Sold and shipped by Walmart.com

As far as I'm aware they don't comingle 3rd party inventory like "Sold and shipped by Amazon.com" does.
This though is another example of "people/society should do X because it has a potential negative impact on other people".

Which I generally agree with. And it appears the person you replied to thinks like that as well.

The article on the other hand is arguing that we shouldn't do things differently to avoid impacts on people, because that reduces 'freedom', and he'd rather be free to go out during a pandemic than prevent people dying.

So he's only coincidentally on your side of this, because he opposes lockdowns and you feel the lockdown policies had an impact on your family that was negative.

But if you asked him if he'd do some minor thing to avoid physical or mental harm like that to other people in future, then he's already clearly stated his position on that. No, even widespread death of other people is not a reason for people to collectively avoid potential harm to others.

It just so happens that him not caring about other people's deaths coincides in this particular case with what you feel would have helped your family, but he's not arguing for what does the least harm overall. He's saying there's a principle at stake, and he's willing to let others die to uphold it.
He was writing in 2008, so probably some Java thing

One reason people forget is that the Department of Justice announced the settlement (wrist slap) with Microsoft literally a few days before the 9/11 attacks, and so the case was wiped from the news along with everything else except 9/11. (I'm not suggesting a conspiracy, just that the public never had a chance to be angry about the settlement.)

> Advertising is a marketing communication that employs an openly sponsored, non-personal message to promote or sell a product, service or idea.

Applying this definition to cross-selling:

> marketing communication

Putting a sign out for another product you sell is a form of marketing, and is intended to communicate to the reader.

> openly sponsored

Cross-selling messaging is openly sponsored by the company, and appears as a message from the company.

> non-personal message

Cross-selling isn't being sent directly to me, nor is it specifically aimed around me. It may be targeted toward people who fall into a similar category, but it isn't a personal message to me.

> to promote or sell

Cross-selling is an attempt to sell something.

> a product, service, or idea.

No restriction here about it being a product/service/idea sold by a different company, so this applies to cross-selling.

It meets every part of the definition you gave, and therefore pushes for cross-selling are a form of advertising.

Edit: Perhaps you're confused about the use of "that employs"? In this usage, "employs" doesn't mean "has a contractual relationship with" but instead means "uses".
Without the human written parts it's an incoherent word salad. As an intelectual worker, I feel relieved - for a few more years at least.
>You are indeed saying that, if Twitter isn't omniscient, then it won't be able to avoid being used to oppress and propagandize because it's not possible moderate perfectly. This is the just the perfect solution fallacy.

No. The Nirvana fallacy would be "since moderating imperfectly doesn't completely eliminate the problem of Twitter being used to oppress or propagandize, no moderation should be applied". Actually I'm saying that a) moderating imperfectly doesn't completely eliminate the problem, and b) no moderation should be applied because inconsistent moderation is worse than no moderation (without this being related to the previous point, but just in general).

>You think you can just shine a light on bad ideas and they'll go away

Actually I'm disputing the idea of "good and bad ideas" in this context. Neither Islamism nor any of the examples you gave are good or bad in an objective sense. The most we can say is that they're more or less successful in perpetuating themselves in time, or that they cause more or less of some specific phenomenon. I described Islamism as backwards and stupid but that's my opinion, not an objective measure. If when given sufficient exposure it would win ideologically then I think it should be allowed to win. I see no reason to prevent this.

>If you want to form a worldview based on social psychology

When did I say that?
In the case of Amazon, I don’t believe they always do enough due diligence on items under the “Sold by Amazon” banner. The overriding issue is that by combining both their own curetted product line and the open marketplace into one storefront, the third party sellers devalue the main brand. I just don’t trust that even buying a “sold by Amazon” product will be any good. There is also just too much choice, you feel like you are being scammed the minute you open Amazon.
Mini Metro IRL. Kudos!
Not everything needs to be "climate" now as we ignored it anyway for too long..lol. It is also about not using finite resources, waste, risk, economics.. lately looking at France's and China's heat waves, didn't we all learn that all our coal/gas and first of these nuclear plants will fail more and more and not be a reliable power source during increasing heat and drought waves and the near future?
And then there it is also good to have that Ukrainian example... conflucts & war will now also only increase, that is for sure.

Worst of all I cannot get rid of the feeling that everybody shouting "nuclear now" was denying or at least ignoring clinate change for the last 30 years... slowly realizing that climate change is a thing and longing for the laziest worst second option. No, that's not enough, and even all that aside would never suffice, barely help now. Be happy in your nuclear focused states and fantasies but leave this at rest here at least ..
And that differs from today because.... why?
No it’s not.

The most important quality that distinguishes a good programmer from a mediocre one is a very strong preference for simplicity.

To be more precise, they need to be able to cope with complexity in their environment, but be driven to simplify systems that respond to that complexity. This is done by making things with simple parts that can be plugged together cleanly. Systems have to match in overall complexity their environment, but small, composable parts and careful buildup of layers can keep complexity manageable locally.

Once a system gets away, it is very hard to bring it back.
i used it for react js, golang and java. it was very much hit and miss.

i was not expecting github to start charging for such a mediocre product. obviously i decided we don’t need it.

but i expect we’ll get something open source and better relatively soon considering the pace of innovation in this field.
That's not really correct. A torus is a 2-dimensional manifold that can be embedded into 3-dimensional Riemannian space. The author of the article is correct talking about a three dimensional torus as it's defined as S^1 x S^1 x S^1. You can also check the wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus) that defines an n-dimensional torus in the same way.
I was going to say. Unless you have things lined up, I would hesitate to move to UK without a plan. I am saying this as my sister is attempting this very thing ( and me trying to discourage her since its a business pie in the sky kind of dream ). The days easily obtainable jobs ( especially the low level ones ) for other EU members are over. She did not seem to get that memo. On the high end of the spectrum, banking lost some jobs as a result of Brexit. Dunno about insurance.

US has its benefits, but I would consider age as a factor ( if you are younger, you may be able to worry less about insurance and whatnot ).

I think putting some graphics artists out of business is one side of the coin. The other side of the coin is creating new jobs for people with good visual taste and imaginative ideas, who did not pass the skill barrier previously required to actually create good art.

Presumably we need fewer of the new more efficient jobs to displace the work done by the old jobs. But that lowers the price of ”mediocre” graphics, and therefore increases demand; maybe we actually end up with more jobs at the more accessible level.

These market dynamics are quite hard to predict but either way, bad time to be an entry level professional artist, great time to be just about anyone else.
At the end of the video the presenter mentions that they plan to open source the language when it reaches a greater stage of maturity.
Interesting concept. A couple questions:

Do you plan on expanding your audience beyond developers to other users such as, for example, the slightly more general group of those who are technologically-adept but aren't necessarily developers?

Do you have other options for targeting ads other than page content? For example, some web apps may display private user information in the web page and would not want to send the page content to the ad server. Perhaps it would be possible to target based on a general list of keywords that are known to be related to the site?

Would it be possible to run the ad script in a sandbox iframe to ensure the server doesn't get access to page content? (I see in other comments that you mention server-side rendering but that wouldn't work for a static client-side web app.)
Are you thinking about something like AlgebraicJulia, specifically Catlab.jl? It allows to specify Generalized Algebraic Theories and comes with a large list of standard theories.

compose(f::(A → B), g::(B → C))::(A → C) ⊣ (A::Ob, B::Ob, C::Ob)

(f ⋅ g) ⋅ h == f ⋅ (g ⋅ h) ⊣ (A::Ob, B::Ob, C::Ob, D::Ob,
f::(A → B), g::(B → C), h::(C → D))
f ⋅ id(B) == f ⊣ (A::Ob, B::Ob, f::(A → B))
id(A) ⋅ f == f ⊣ (A::Ob, B::Ob, f::(A → B))

end
Knowledge of the domain and general experience with similar domains helps. My horse sense about what's likely to change has improved with time. As far as #6, you don't want to outright limit change because the future surprises, but use a YAGNI-ish view of unlikely changes to keep the system simpler. In other words, you don't make it hard to change, you just don't spend complexity on things unlikely to change. You only spend abstraction-related complexity on things likely to change.
That's a very good point. But at the same time, I do wonder why there aren't more temporary things that are carved out. I think it speaks somewhat to the design of software, because surely people have little pieces, components, libraries, etc. developed that just need some time and eyes on them and don't require onboarding to the full system or long-term commitments or even full-time commitments. But I suppose there's effort in doing that carving out and the way that systems are sort of organically designed and developed doesn't lend itself to that.
I agreed with all his points but the Twitter one.

Alternatively I would propose to work a job in a wildly different field for a few months, for example waiting tables, in a grocery or at a recycling company.
Your horizon will be exploded by the people you meet and work with.
According to the article, the study accounts for this.

Do you have some evidence that it does not?
And here your organization has failed you. In our org we split engineering career at a certain point into three careers: engineering, people and architects. Up to the VP level their grading run in parallel. The architects are optimized for tech and business impact while the people managers are good in managing people. and yes engineering tracks and architecture track optimize certain skills but are not necessarily a hard separation
Perhaps, but then commingling ruins it. You have no idea if the SD card/SSD/HDD you've bought is actually from Amazon or a if it's a fake/knockoff by a shady third party, even if it's "shipped and sold by Amazon"
Now you're talking about the distribution in cis people, but you haven't accounted for HRT. Hormones are an immensely important part of sexual dimorphism, so much so that people with an XY chromosome and complete testosterone insensitivity (CAIS) usually only find out they're not XX in their teens when they visit their Gynecologist about lacking periods.

It is very hard to maintain "excess" muscle on feminizing HRT (the body has different muscle to fat target ratios depending on hormones), and impossible to (re)build it. Someone would have to work disproportionately hard on maintaining most of their "male advantage" a year in. I'm not an athlete, but every trans person you ask will tell you that the difference in strength is quite significant. Even if I can just tell from being unable to open jars.

That aside, I really recommend you invest time into that essay. It's an interesting tale about why we have segregated sports to begin with (believe it or not, women doing sports is a relatively recent thing) and how trans people really aren't the biggest interference to the unfairness of it all.

With tools like stable diffusion, mastery means something different than it used to. Now a master is understands style and composition, who knows how to use the tools effectively to produce stylish, well composed images, then has sufficient editing skills to clean up/paint over tool output in order to produce professional results.
> This method anyone can use to create any new scene that they can imagine and the result looks quite good with some patience. Seems like some people are overly pessimistic but to me this seems like we’re on the cusp of something truly disruptive in the arts space.

A race to the bottom and the cheapening of 'art' in general for the sake of replacing artists is a shame to see and nothing to celebrate. I was against both the gatekeeping of GPT-3 and DALL-E by Open 'faux' AI. But now it seems that every-time an open-source alternative or version was released into the wild, it seems that the uses become even more dystopian; especially with DeepFakes, fake news propaganda / articles and catfishing with generated hyperrealistic faces.

> And it’s not NFTs. Remember that last year this would have sounded mostly like sci-fi unless you were following cutting edge research.

Stable Diffusion is the reason why JPEG NFTs will always be worthless. Both of them will fuel JPEG NFT prices to the floor value of zero. But as NFT proponents cheered in believing that they will help artists, here we are seeing DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion fans screaming that it will help artists. No it will not.

> In the realm or “real” art I’m actually very excited since I believe there are hundreds of very imaginative and patient people who just can’t paint well but will be able to create new art with tools like this. It can also synthesize new and alien things.

This isn't the 'democratization of digital art', it is the complete devaluation and displacement of digital artists and it now makes 'real art paintings' much valuable.

A dystopian creation.
Last time I tried Telegram to see what it is like, it did automatically broadcast to all my contacts, that I use Telegram, and as a consequence people thought they could message me there, even though I was only testing the app. Also it did require associating with my phone/SIM. Do you mean, that it does not publish your phone number to other people on Telegram?

I keep an eye on deltachat, hoping, that it might become a viable alternative to phone number associated chat solutions. Not sure how mature deltachat is already.
The main theory I'm aware of is that eyebrows serve to better communicate facial expressions, on top of being a sweat guard.

Our eyebrow region is exceedingly expressive in terms of movement, similar to our mouth when not speaking (think of all the variations of smiles, frowns, smirks, etc.). The bands of hair make it much easier to identify that movement, especially from a few meters away. Eyebrows are for direct emotional signaling.
Try various programming languages from Aminet:

macOS (it’s not called OS X any more) is listed as XNU.

And of course it would list every BSD instance. Supporting them isn’t automatic when you’re taking about pre-compiles binaries because they can have subtly different ABIs. POSIX helps here but mostly at the source level, an ELF compiled for FreeBSD wouldn’t automatically run on OpenBSD nor NetBSD. The fact this does is unusual and deserves calling out.
I came here to post the same comment about financial compensation.

Focusing on money is just another mimetic trap (though one with very nice side effects). There are a lot of dudes in our demographic hitting their thirties and realizing in despair that they are financially comfortable and yet their life feels utterly empty and meaningless.

The best metric I know to avoid this trap is that the things I spend my time on should scratch at least one of:

1. Be relaxing, enjoyable, or personally rewarding. It should help me recharge and unwind to prepare for the rest of this list.

2. Gain or improve a useful skill that I can then apply to the last item on this list.

3. Benefit other people.

In other words, be healthy so that I can be effective so that I can be helpful. When I stay centered on this (without obsessing about it), I'm generally happy with how I spend my time.

> Twitter is the most awful social-pressure tool ever created.

Twitter, perhaps to a larger degree than any other social network, is whatever you make it into. Yes, if you follow a bunch of hustle-culture drones (or people who retweet that), your feed will make you miserable. Follow different people and you'll get a totally different Twitter. My feed is generally nourishing, supportive, and rewarding, though it takes fairly frequent gardening to keep it such.
You can release now and do sales pitches on instagram and tiktok and youtube and hackernews. And prepare to webscale because there can be a huge traffic spike.

It doesn't matter what you and your small group of friends think about the app. People will react to your app differently. So, PREPARE. TO. WEBSCALE!

Hey folks, this is Evan from AI Grant! We're excited to support founders building new AI products.

AI Grant is investing $250k on an uncapped, no-discount, MFN SAFE, as well as providing more than $300k in cloud credits.

AI Grant used to do small grants in lots of AI research projects. Now, we think there's plenty of research, and what's needed is products: so we're doing bigger investments in founders building products. Name's the same, but now we can deploy larger checks, and focus on what we think will help the most in 2022. Frankly we used the name "AI Grant" because we already had it!

If you're working on something cool, please apply! And if you have a special situation, or need help, reach out to support@aigrant.org
