You're not form Germany, right?

Changing the mind of a public authority is in any case a very long process as a German authority (and especially the board of censors!) will never admit it did something wrong. Usually you need to go through all instances. Things like that can take decades.

I'm to lazy to research this case here as it's not really important but I'm quite sure it took at least a few years before they reverted any censoring decisions.

"Schließlich erwirkte" point in that direction actually. "Schließlich" would be better translated as "lastly" or "finally"—which means "after a long fight" most of the time.

Also the German Wikipedia is sneaky. You need to weight every word! It says "the last part was also shown in Germany". That does not mean they restored the Nazi references. I'm quite sure they didn't (at least fully) as most Nazi stuff is banned. They're more liberal with that in "art settings" just the last 20 years or so. Before that even small references have been heavily censored.

It took for example decades to unban Wolfenstein 3D in Germany. You know, that game where you kill Nazis. But because the Nazis in that game use Nazi symbols it was verboten for a very very long time. (They didn't accept that video game are art, so there were no exceptions like for example movies; that's something that changed just lately).
Thanks a lot! This is what I was looking for.

What made you think I wasn't bothered by this? The entire reason I posted that was to show that I'm bothered by angry people behind keyboards attacking people's mental capabilities over simple disagreements. I try not to be angry though. Life can be very short and you only have so much energy and focus (finite resource) and the world already has enough suffering. My message is to lighten up and avoid feeding into mobs. I know that sounds corny and I'm probably an angry-dude to you but that's where I'm at in life. My apologies if the snarky coffee quip pissed you off.
A massive improvement would be listing probabilities of various symptoms. Typically you go to WebMD/similar, look something up, and it includes every possible symptom. This creates low signal to noise and makes it difficult to diagnose and understand risks.
Love it. No noise. Great performance (air runs 3 android emulators in parallel), amazing battery life and only sometimes warm (bright screen, video conferences).
Examine.com is the closest analogue to what this site is trying to do, and as far as I know, it works. It takes a while, but if people develop trust in a product or website they value that deeply, and are even willing to throw money at it. I don't even consider trying to google a supplement; I'll just go to examine and look at the body of evidence, recommended dosages, etc. I've paid for Examine and I would pay for this.

Here's my point of feedback / wishlist item / thing I think is missing from the world. Examine is focused on supplements, which I don't actually care that much about. If my question is "How do I lower my fasting blood glucose", I don't want a list of what supplements help with that, I want a list of everything that helps with that. If daily cardio is 100X as effective as green tea catechins then IDGAF about green tea. Examine broadened a bit, but it's still very supplement focused, which can give the false impression that some supplement is the best way to approach some condition.

Going by the long covid example, it sounds like this glacierMD takes the broader focus of "here's all the things", which I absolutely love. And there could be a lot of value in that alone. But what I really feel is missing from the world is a comprehensive, salutogenic look at health. Yes I want to know what the best treatments are for long covid. But what I also really want to know is what is the rank ordered list of things I can do to develop and maintain a strong immune system. Or how do I lower my resting heart rate. What even is the optimal fasting blood glucose for that matter? Any searching you do will just tell you "above 100 mg/dL is prediabetic, 99 and below you're perfectly healthy".

Anyway, I love the demo. The author is correct that it is missing from the world. And I 100% think people would pay for it once it grows enough. I do just hope that it isn't purely build around a pathogenic way of thinking, like just about everything else in the medical world seems to be.
I'm that user who made that claim. ;)

Indeed, tutorials do come in a great many varieties, and when it's done well the user may not even be aware that what they're experiencing is a tutorial. That has a strong tradition in game development; where a new ability or a new tool is provided to the user and the level is designed thereafter to allow the user to explore that new thing. That's closer to your Zelda or Halo.

Even FromSoftware games take this approach. Elden Ring has a whole opening stage that's clearly designed to expose users to core gameplay mechanics.

But then there's those unskippable dialogues, or the tedious "now press this input to perform this action" prompt found within a purpose-built tutorial area. Those, specifically those, are what I find cause for immediate product return.

There was some Need For Speed games on the PSP that were particularly awful for this. You'd be _racing_ and it would pause the gameplay to show you a dialog about how to drift or draft or somesuch; completely breaking the flow of the experience. That's what I would demand a refund for.

That said, art is subjective, and the experience is ultimately defined by the beholder. Maybe some people actually enjoy being brow beaten with unskippable prompts and hand-held through tediously constrained environments, with their experience jarringly interrupted at unexpected times by dialogs that break the suspension of disbelief.

They have hosted third party sellers for... at least 3-5 years. If you didnt know this already you wernt a customer. They lost 0 in revenue from when they opened their site up to third party sellers and gained lots of revenue from those third party sellers.

I dont like third party sellers either but obviously it makes financial sense for these companies to do this.

I have yet to see an example of "Synthetic AI media" that was both realistic and not immediately recognizable as being synthetically generated.

I for one am 100% satisfied with Signals UX, and a big reason for that it precisepy that it does not evolve into a communications platform, but just pushes chats around. The delivery issues are very rare, and not a btother anyways. Chat is not time sensitive nor should it be.

Signal cares about privacy (unlike Telegram) and the evidence is right there in their respective source repositories.
One problem is of course, that Google managed to convince many fanboys, that it is a highly progressive modern and technologically superb company, that spits out revolutionary tech every month and only the developers of highest skill could work there, so all that comes out of Google must be naturally superior to any competition.

If Google says, that they value speed of their browser as the main attribute, that mindset if adopted by the fanboys. If Google says you don't need more powerful ad blocking, then that idea is adopted by the fanboys. Google says it, so it cannot be wrong. Anyone saying something different is just being jealous, that they are not as good a developer to work at Google. Google! Oh please! Tell us what to think!

This kind of thinking also proliferates into non-developer communities and people, who look at it from the financial success side of things. Google, one of the biggest tech companies evaaar! Surely they must be doing something right! This developer friend, what do they know, compared to the knowledge of Google employees?! Better listen to Google.

Google has managed to twist the minds of many, who are too open for authority arguments and developers are no exception to that.

As long as we still in some way think, that Google has our wellbeing at heart, I think things will not change. However, I support not supporting Chormium-based browsers any longer. People only learn the hard way, which is, when they have to fight through jungle of ads to use even the simplest websites. Some learn not even then.
Some very popular games are much less polished than N64/SNES quality.

Something I sometimes think about, is how really can capitalists benefit from that?
If you can automate your company away, and fire all employees, and if every company is doing that, then workers have no jobs or ways to make money. So the customers for most of the companies start disappearing. It's the ultimate accumulation of capital, to a point that the wheels of economy grind to a halt.
Boris Johnson is a fantastic example of the Peter principle.
I would love to see a modern Operating System built off of SmallTalk. I tried out Pharo recently and I was amazed at its ability to introspect (reflect?) into any ui element in the running image and see/change the code for that element. I think building an entire Operating System on this concept would be really cool. The level of extensibility we would get combined with the ease of extending the OS would lead to some pretty awesome changes.

To get around some of the common pitfalls of new Oses it could use a rump kernel and leverage the drivers from Netbsd, and it could be developed on an SBC making it easily accessible to people to run on actual hardware
> A cynical or experienced view? I'm in management and have seen good managers and bad, but the bad ones are quite a few. To address your points, managers with a non technical background:

Thanks for the detailed breakdown and no name calling :D

> Cannot identify blind spots that keep you at peak performance, only another engineer with more experience (tech lead or senior) can do so. They can only identify behaviors that make them look bad or are inconvenient when viewed from the point of view of their peers -- other managers.

Given you have different levels of skill in the team, a good manager would convince you and the other teammate to help each other out with the learning. Lubricating these interactions given everyone has responsibilities is not always trivial. I'm less experienced on the politics but I believe what you're saying about politics distorting incentives. I'm conveniently side-stepping this issue bc it applies to all positions in a corporate structure.

> A non technical manager has literally no idea what is valuable to delivering complex technical work. They can only guess, and often guess badly. Again only a senior or tech lead with experience could do this.

A non technical manager can know very well what's valuable to the product/company. That they don't believe their team on the value of a specific piece of technical work to enable that seems like something else is at play here (lack of trust).

> How could a non technical manager motivate any engineer, without an understanding of their difficulties, problems and ways to solve these problems practically? I just don't buy it. "Let's do overtime on the weekend guys..."

By reminding/reframing/convincing re:impact their work has on their team, personal growth, customers, society or personal preferences. Doesn't have to be only technical; they can help you deal with any self-inflicted discomfort regardless of the subject matter.

> Managers should not be involved with people's personal problems. I've met so many managers that are extroverted and managing sensitive introverted teams, that all they ultimately do is the equivalent of hammer on the aquarium glass. Remember that sign in the pet store: "Don't tap on the glass"? It's true of technical teams that are of a totally different temperament than managers.

Agree to disagree. I've had great conversations with peers when/if we're open to talking about non-work stuff - both ways not just me 'giving advice'. It's not binary and depends on the relationship. A skilled manager can care for reports beyond work, create genuine bonds and be respectful when they have not been given an opening to engage in these subjects.
What insights did you get out of that? I was watching the video version and gave up because it was mostly fluff and self-promotion. Couldn’t even remember what the core idea was that he kept repeating.
We all know the people that collect the nominal fee have the best interest in delivering a quality product - a serious responsibility to do so even - and not solely making their section of the entity larger and more powerful year over year.

Stubborn problem solving isn't always good. A problem can be solved in many ways, some of then can lie in the realm of program architecture or even product strategy. If your solution conflicts with them, it will be thought of as narrow sighted.
All I want is an AI to give me beautiful color palettes. For some reason that is the absolute hardest part for me to get right.
I agree. People aren't grasping the magnitude because they're thinking about jobs. Jobs a silly way to measure this. Jobs are temporary. Nobody worries about the mechanical stocking frame making socks anymore.

This is more like the literacy/printing press transition.

Used to be, people had to learn to memorize a lifetime of stories and lore. Now nobody learns to make a memory palace or form a mnemonic couplet. Why would you bother? You just write things down.

Today, people learn to draw. In a generation, why would you bother?

There will still be specialist jobs for people generating images, but instead of learning to make them up, the specialists will be very good at picking them, suggesting them, consuming them.

Humans will be the managers and the editors, not the creators.

The same thing will happen to other arts. First (and very easily) to music. Eventually, perhaps, to writing and whole movies...

The only thing stopping that is that the models can't maintain a reality between frames. They can't make an arc. It's all dreamlike.

If we find a way to nail object persistence it will be a singularity-level event. The moment you can say "make another version of this movie, but I want Edgar to be more sarcastic and Lisa should break up with him in the second act" we will close the feedback loop.

It's a lot bigger than "lost jobs".
Have ever felt like you're in a rut when it comes to figuring ouy life problems, or that you need a new perspective, or have ever flipped a coin and while it was in the air realized what outcome you really wanted? If so, divination is a tool to generate ideas to get out of that rut or offer new perspectives, or help make up ones mind.

True belief is not a requirement or may even get in the way. Divination is simply a procedural generation technique for new ideas and interpretations.
Huh. I had almost the exact opposite opinion. As someone who likes to make art, this example leads me to believe that this kind of process can allow me to quickly create images that are far closer to what I have in my head than most of the DallE style examples I’ve seen recently.

Define drinker. As is, it seems to be a poll not on the distribution of alcohol consumption, but on the social acceptability of alcohol—which is also an interesting question, just a different one.

When drinking a lot becomes less popular, I’d expect drinking a bit to become the common case, not total abstention, and those people might still self-report as “drinkers”, even if they e.g. refuse to drink at parties.

Midway through my career I was given a golden opportunity to side-gig consult for a project that could have launched a consulting business. Instead, after an excellent presentation and client interest -- I laid out some numbers that were very high. You see, I had (and still have) a very high valuation for my free time. The customer balked but remained intersted and offered a counter. I told them it was non-negotiable and terminated without providing a counter-offer. I ended up embarrassing my colleague who had given me the opportunity to pitch to an exec team of a golfing buddy.

In the end, it was no harm done (I was working for FANG) but I learned that I valued my free time far too much to work a side gig unless it was a startup of my own design.

The parent is about im2text not text2im (i.e. converting an image to human readible text). Easy thing to misread. Apologize for upsetting you. Have a good day :)
It really depends on the benchmark. Lots of real-world tasks remain highly cache-bound. One important one for me personally is building software. I run big system builds for Zephyr test suites and Chromeos regularly on 64 core devices, and have access to systems with both 4-channel and 8-channel DRAM setups. The doubled memory bandwidth makes for only about 5% higher build throughput.

Honestly I think a lot of modern benchmarkery has ended up too far down the "cover all the use cases" rabbit holes, and there's not enough coverage of the kind of boring scalar workloads that most of these systems are being purchased to run.
Yes, Firefox is no longer second tier. This is a relatively recent development, and anyone who avoided it for performance reasons should try it again. It's fast, and doesn't have any rendering issues.
Which is why comparing countries which had strict lockdowns with countries which did not have strict lockdowns is helpful in showing that stricter lockdowns resulted in lower comparative excess deaths.

Instead of hypothetical scenarios in which suicide spikes and all-cause mortality rises, we have realities in which the opposite happened[0].

There is no collection of facts from the real world in which the vaccines are causing more harm than they prevent, and no collection of facts from the real world in which lockdowns didn't save lives where implemented. But nothing is likely to convince the true believers, so carry on.
