If they can’t pass an entry level test, there’s no possible way they have any advanced skills. Once we’ve established that they have a pulse, then we can spend time discussing their more advanced accomplishments. Unfortunately, I can’t assume right off the bat that people with 20 years of experience can actually code; there are too many people who look good on paper and can talk a big game but don’t actually have any basic technical chops to back it up.
1. Thank you for the suggestion. I added the one-liner description from the Windows website to the top of the Readme.

2. Those words aren't in the Readme so I'm a bit confused. I guess these were just examples though. I am not a native speaker either though... if you really think there's uncommon words to be found, I would welcome a PR.
Recent experience or case study to link?

Thanks for the kind words (and being real with some of the unkind words :D).

To answer your questions:

* CPM ads work well for us, because we make a set amount, and places the burden of having good targeting & ads on the buyer. With CPC, a crappy ad just gets lots of views without paying us anything for them, which is a bad incentive. Lots of companies have found success with our ads, so they must have good ROI for them, but it does require a somewhat high LTV and good ads that people click.

* You can use UTM codes on the ad clicks. We don't track users on our side, but once a user clicks an ad, all bets are off. We mention specifically using UTM codes in our FAQ: https://www.ethicalads.io/advertisers/faq/#where-do-the-ads-...

* Well, can't do much about that one :)
You're missing the point. At SOME point, even YOU won't be able to find a job, due to robotics and automation, compounded by extremely high unemployment making even basic jobs like plumbing impossible to get. If that happens, we either just let everyone starve until the population drops to equilibrium, or restructure society to support people when there's no jobs for 99% of us.
Few have those high end cards, but they don't need to anymore. Huggingface is saying it needs 12gb, but the source was forked with some smart mods to chunk the loading on to the GPU.

Itll comfortably run on 6gb now. gtx1600 series cards need to run in full precision mode to produce output. The HLKY fork has improved the Gradio GUI and integrated realesrgan and gfpgan for those with beefier cards.

Someone else also figured out how to load and run it all on a CPU, so pretty much anyone can in theory run the model now.

There is an elaborate Colab notebook linked in the HLKY repo that seems to get more point and click user friendly every time i look at it. I think it even launches the gradio webui so you can use the Colab instance with a webui remotely.
Peter has a choice: Pay for a train ticket to commute, or pay for off-street parking. Both options cost money. If Peter dislikes that cost he can move to where Paul lives and vote to allow strangers to park for free in the street outside Paul's home (which is then also the street outside Peter's home).
Given that most car drivers exceed the speed limit most of the time, they likely commit more moving violations per mile than bicyclists do.

> Cyclists should be held to the same standard of traffic laws

> I don't have too much knowledge about current cyclist laws

Cyclists mostly put themselves in danger. Drivers mostly put others in danger. That's why traffic laws should be, and are, more enforced for drivers vs cyclists or pedestrians. There is plenty of historical precedent for cyclist laws and behavior -- including encouraging 'running' red lights and not stopping at 4-way stops -- if you look into it.
Motivated drivers can similarly justify all sorts of reckless behavior like driving up a shoulder, cutting through a parking lot, ignoring no-passing indicators, cheating the wrong way up a short 1-way segment, excessive speeding, etc etc

And you're right that there's a social kindness in empathizing with those people rather than loathing them. But that doesn't change that the behavior is reckless and elective, that there's value in calling it out as such.

One's not in the right just because they feel justified.
I get stressed out when there are cyclists on narrow roads with blind turns and no shoulder. I don’t want to run anyone over but the odds that I will are definitely greater than 0 and it’s not my fault
#2 is pretty common software lingo. If you’re esl you definitely are going to want to look that one up.
No, it simply does not matter what modified version of their server they run. We know what the clients do, and we know what the servers can log.

Not really, and they are great pest control.

In South Texas we have bat colonies under freeway overpasses, and trust me, bats are not a source of disease concern here beyond "don't mess with them even if injured".
This is so great! I have fond memories of AutoHotkey when I used Windows. It has just the right balance between scripting requirements and features.
The assumption of UBI is that it is a wealth redistribution from automation, so

> We need people to do low level jobs

Is solved through automation and immigration (only citizens get UBI). Of course this is a major downside, because you end up with a slave class unless you make sure those immigrant workers are well protected.

Your point 2 has already happened. But the wealth still remains here in the US. So if that wealth were redistributed to the poor it would actually make things better.

> A "mind worm" (to coin a phrase)

It's called a "meme" (in its original definition by Richard Dawkins). And this kind of forcing a rebuttal is "trolling". Dismissing this trolling is phrased as "Don't feed the troll!".

This is explained by the vehicle. It's trivial to stop and start in an automatic car as there's little difficulty involved and no actual driver energy expended. Cyclists have to brake and then exert energy to get back up to speed. The equivalent for cars is speeding; how many cars do you see driving at the speed limit? The design of most cars makes it trivial to go over the speed limit; there's only a marginal difference in driver feeling between going 25 mph or 35mph.

If you've ever driven with manual drivers you'll see that they tend to creep at stops or run reds more frequently than automatic drivers because of the added difficulty of shifting into gear from a stop. It's all just based on vehicle design incentives.
It doesn't mean forever but it is widely understood to mean that there is no foreseeable resolution in the near future. I think most of us know to avoid the word unless we're signaling some degree of permanence.
Finaly a fair point. I dont know for sure and some here do, but my feeling is that we are still in a Moore's law in this art generation thing. If thats true, it means 10 years from now the AI will be able to mimic the very bests to perfection. Taking a pencil will become hopeless.

20 years from now they'll click a button and you'll get a fully randomly generated pixar movie thats as good as the originals.

Im software engineer and amateur illustrator. I have always welcomed technology. Always felt good about it. Copilot? No worries, please automate my job, if humanity dont code anymore, I dont think its gonna kill us the slightest on the contrary. Art? Mark my words, this wont go well with people souls. This is an obvious evil mistake. Im still confident some wises will stop this heresy before civilization collapses (I like to dramatize like that but still this is bad imo)
>If you can’t say global warming is bogus because it’s particularly cold out today, you also can’t blame global warming on it being hot or rainy.

How does this in anyway whatsoever, relate to the multitude of supposedly rare (outside of “global warming), clearly climate induced events causing the floods in Pakistan right now?

They had extreme drought, now they have extreme monsoon rain, combined with localized issues like melted glaciers and overflowing reservoirs.

If you “can’t say it”, maybe that is because you don’t know what you’re talking about..?
ARM pointer authentication can be used for all pointers. Shadow stacks only protect against overwriting the return pointer.
The exact same thing happened to me. I used to be an avid watcher of T90 but once he moved to facebook I almost completely stopped watching him. I described my experience elsewhere in this thread.
What's fascinating is what img2img adds to the creative process. Text to image was pretty cool, but not super interesting to me. But seeding the output with something I've drawn, with a drawing befitting a 3-year old's work of art, really adds to it, because of the larger part you're taking in the output's creation.
It's like that story from the 50's when cake mix was first introduced, with a recipe of water+cake mix to make a cake. It flopped, and was pulled from the market. They reintroduced it, with a new recipe of water+egg+cake mix instead, and was a success. The added egg made it feel just that much more like cooking, and I think the same thing is happening here with img2img.
Thank you — that's at least an argument I've not yet heard and that isn't the trope of "the AI is thinking".

> Now you might argue this doesn't apply here.

Indeed, I would. In particular,

> and the revelations do not provide a significant market substitute for the protected aspects of the originals

I'm not sure if that holds here. In Google's case, the product (a search engine) was completely different from the input (a book). Here … we're replacing art with art, or code with code, admittedly different art. And … uh, maybe? different code. I'm also less certain due to the extreme views on what constitutes de minimis copying the courts have taken.

> I think it's likely we will see this end up in the courts somehow.

I agree.

> But being able to prove actual harm is critical to the US court system. And it's difficult to see how the courts would rule against the kinds of broad general use that is most common for this kind of generative art.

This is a good argument, too, though I'd like to see it tried in court, I think.

> If the ML model is being used to deliberately replicate a specific artist's style, then I think you can make that case pretty strongly.

I'll link the same example I linked in a comment, [1]. Seek to "On the left is a piece by award-winning Hollywood artist Michael Kutsche, while on the right is a piece of AI art that’s claimed to have copied his iconic style, including a blurred, incomplete signature"

Highly recommend the Stanford course notes on AI. I've found these useful:

* CS224n natural language processing

* CS330 Meta Learning

* CS224U Natural language understanding

* CS234 Reinforcement Learning

* CS221 Artificial intelligence

* CS229 theoretical machine learning

The course notes can be found at CS(x).Stanford.edu such as

cs229.stanford.edu

Of course the main problem isn't that there's not enough good material. The problem is that there's too much! So a course that teaches how to pick the most important courses for oneself is sorely needed

There's your answer, or at least for some substantial portion of people posting in r/fuckcars and others like r/latestagecapitalism, r/antiwork, etc - they aren't thinking in the framework of a capitalist society (merits of this aside).

> without veiled political agendas pushed online for profit.

Pretty funny to think that socialist agendas are being pushed for profit. Undoubtedly true in some cases, but I'd like to think some people aren't driven solely by profit, even if it's only people who don't have to think about things like paying for food and shelter.
Engineers - yes. Other job functions don't always have such an easy time.
For developer work, it can automate an entire sequence of GUI annoyances into a hotkey. I'm making this sequence up because I don't recall how it exactly went, but the volume of bizareness was about right. AHK helped me painlessly build JAR files in Eclipse. I'd hit F12 and:

AHK would pull up file menu, export menu, select java, type jar filename, hit next, select jar file, confirm overwrite, next, next, select seal the jar, yes overwrite, click that one random dialog button that's bizarrely not hotkey selectable, type main class as 'default.java', next, confirm, click finish. Click confirm again despite finish because GUI. And bam, another JAR file ready to test.
I find this distinction harmful. Are we going back to the days where there were programmers who did the grunt work and architects who told them what to do?

Doesn't this distinction exist in every profession? Experienced people start doing less and less of the day to day tasks, and start doing more strategic work.

Only in software do we think this is a terrible thing, and that an acceptable use of someones 10 or 20 years experiences is for them to be down in the trenches centering divs with the new grads.

Hence terms like "staff engineer", which is a modern architect but with a name that pays lip-service to egalitarian fantasies.

Fortunately, bicycles are not responsible for 100x more injuries and deaths than cars, too. To me, that suggests that "number of moving violations per mile" may not be the most important metric.

>Americans freak out about "hurricane season".

Maybe because if you live in the southeast it can be an absolutely devastating natural disaster? Which has already happened many times in the past and is guaranteed to happen in the future?

>You know what we call it in Scotland when we get four weeks of 140mph winds? We call that "January".

Well good for you. I don't know anything about the weather in Scotland but obviously if it's normal to get high wind for a few weeks in some places it's not anything like an actual hurricane. So perhaps you should stop being a smug dumbass comparing normal high winds in parts of your country to hurricanes which obliterate people and cities.

Right now, the Texas power grid is generating more than 9GW from wind power alone.

Hi, thanks for the comment. Just to clarify—this is a demo of the virtual computer tech in 200 lines of code. It's not actually meant to be a functional product in and of itself.

With that said, the virtual computer technology has some big differences when compared to something like TeamViewer.

- First off, Hyperbeam allows many participants to connect to the same virtual computer at once. All audio/video is synchronized, and any participant can control it (although our API has granular control permissions).

- Hyperbeam requires no downloads

- We manage the infrastructure ourselves, meaning you can embed Hyperbeam virtual computers in your app and scale seamlessly

- You can embed Hyperbeam virtual computers in 3D software and VR

- You can programmatically control the web browser

Here are some companies that are currently using our tech:

The M2 is on Low Power Node, AMD is on High Frequency Node along with IOD.

So in theory AMD Zen 4 APU on the same Low Power N5 should be even more efficient.

But if we do Geekbench 5 with linear scaling, my guess would be the Zen 4 still only gets about 1400 point with 3.5Ghz in the best case scenario. Which is still not bad.

A lot of what Apple has shown to the world with A13 to A15's design will be coming to Zen 5 and its iteration Zen 6. I suspect only then will we see AMD catching up.

Or Nuvia / Qualcomm and Apple still has a few tricks to further increase Pref / Watt.

Adding to the third point developers are technical people and many have adblockers set up in their browsers (at least that's what I see in industry). I wonder if many developers will even notice the ads provided by this service.
Fair. But i'm not talking as much about the story "going in weird directions", as I am about the way the sentences and paragraphs are constructed.

Or apparent contradictions like "We found that planets with life on them were rare" followed by "But life did develop on one planet" -- so is that "rare" or just one? "which evolved one of the most diverse biospheres we had ever seen" -- wait, so how many "biospheres" (implying life) have you seen, again? "one of the most... we've seen" is a weird thing to say if you've seen only one, or even only a few! It's just like, wait, what are you trying to tell me here, what parts of these sentances serve the story? Is the feedback I'd give if this were a writing workshop,

I'm not talking about the way the plot developed, I'm talking about the way the words are constructed into sentances and sentances into paragraphs. It just seems... sloppy, like someone wasn't trying very hard just kind of throwing words on a page without thinking very much and not editing. But it is all understandable more-or-less grammatical English which is a coherent (if poorly-written) narrative, so, sure, that's a thing.
Nuclear is, in fact, not better.

Nukes cost way more to operate, and phenomenally more to build, and take forever to build. I do not want to pay extra for somebody's nuke fetish. I want my carbon-neutral power cheap and plentiful, not dear and niggardly. So, give me wind, solar, tidal, geo. And, tear down dams to restore fisheries after enough of those are running. Maybe turn off remaining dams during smolting season.

We know exactly how much metadata can be collected. You can just look at how the official client works. You can reverse engineer what the server has to do. This not a matter of uncertainty. Signal doesn't mention the collection of the push messaging device IDs explicitly. But that ID doesn't yield a government level adversary any advantage that they don't already have from knowing the phone number, so it doesn't matter. Contact intersection can be logged, then pre-imaged. We can't know. But we already know it can because we know how the clients work. That's it.

Signal doesn't claim cryptographic security against that metadata collection, but then there isn't currently any working system that can make such a claim, so why bust their balls over it?

I don't know the specific numbers, and I've only just seen one or two studies (would appreciate an alternative numbers) - but if a three 3 billion bird reduction is almost a third of the total population in birds in North America since 1970s, and cats are killing at least 1.3 billion per year... I guess that's "fine for the most part"?

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaw1313

The predation of cats is also unnaturally controlled as they are domesticated; people view them as pets primarily and thus prevent them from being killed (their predators are also heavily controlled - wolves, coyotes, etc). I don't see how you could compare that niche to previously extinct, naturally local species.
I am not sure what you mean. You are talking about literally taking my comment as written verbatim and somehow feeding it back into the model? Can you say more about how this works?

I do not consider any Ubuntu to be a 'consumer operating system'. I am not a Raspberry Pi person, however, the projects that people are doing on that are definitely in the spirit of the BBC Micro (Model B obviously) and there is a lot of it going on.

Recently I saw a model railway controlled by a Raspberry Pi with a phone app. This was not a 'computing project' but a model railway hobby. You are not going to see projects such as this unless you are into model railways.

What I find funny is that the people that used messaging boards in the last century were sneered at as losers. Cool kids went partying, they did not sit in front of a glowing screen exchanging messages with friends they could meet in person.

This crowd were not so keen on the social media applications because of tracking, the three letter agencies and tin foil hat availability. Therefore, in 2022, the OG online messaging crew are not doom scrolling on hand rectangles. There is some generalisation here, but social media is not for this crowd - they don't take selfies.

The situation is now turned on its head, with the normal people totally absorbed by social media to be tracked everywhere they go without a care.

That may be the majority, however, not everyone is 'normal' and I am glad to see so many Raspberry Pi projects going on.
