I also have a 4 day weekend this week, but we didn't negotiate directly. Instead people were quitting because we all got pay cuts (in the form of not getting raises for 2 years). I wonder if this long weekend is a good time to prep the old resume.
The current software is on par with the current web version, which for me is OK. Yes, it could be better. I am glad it's being worked on.
No matter how hard you try an external metal box with multiple inputs and outputs will always be better than a PCI/PCIe card inside a PC for recording

USB can't offer as low latency as a piece of well-designed hardware plugged directly into your PCI bus, at least in my own limited experience. This comes into play when doing music keyboard recording.

eg. I found it difficult to find a USB MIDI adapter that didn't introduce unacceptable latency (when trying to record new tracks synced in real time to existing ones). Edirol was recommended to me but even after tweaking settings for hours it fell short. I wound up buying a second-hand Creative X-Fi Elite Pro PCIe card and love it.
Related: I wrote up instructions for running Stable Diffusion on GCE. I used a Tesla T4, which is probably the cheapest that can handle the original code. If you're spinning up an instance to play with, rather than to batch-process, then cheaper makes more sense because most of the machine's time is spent waiting for you to type stuff and look at the results.

+1 to this. I had crippling social anxiety. Working with a therapist, I tried out exposure therapy - which was basically going out of your comfort zone more often. It definitely helped with my social anxiety.
If you'd like to understand how the Capitalist economy is setup around fear, this is a REALLY REALLY good watch on Lex Fridman.

Meditations on Moloch is a great write up.

And if you know what the elites do at Bohemian Grove (worship an effigy of Molech) it will help you see the truth behind the bullshit system of evil we actual live under.

And if youre new to this ancient concept - then please dont give me "conspiracy theory" bullshit, it will only show that you need to read up on this.

Seriously, this is a fantastic summary of Molech and how it represents capitalism.
got it sorry had your next BP comment as thread root
Manually installing is a bit more hidden than on Android. It's also not possible to show a an installation prompt in Safari.
Of course. That's the problem.

You can't reliably say that a.b@ and ab@ are the same user except in a very small population (gmail.com) because you don't know how other domains will handle it.

Email is not a unique identifier which is how they're wanting to use it.
> The point I am trying to make is an intolerant population is really easy to control by an intolerant state.

I understand what you are getting at here, but I have to disagree. My view is that state sanctioned intolerance is usually a top-down process, primarily driven by economic incentives.

Hitler for example exploited the absolutely dire economic situation of Weimar Germany, directed the hate against a clearly delineated social group who were perceived as wealthy.

Same thing in Uganda, Kosovo, Rwanda etc.

People switch from being tolerant to intolerant in an instant (with tragic consequences) but it is almost always driven from the top.
> It must come out to under 0.1¢ per search.

I was struck by their pricing page [0] which says that "it costs us about $1 to process 80 searches" and that "at USD $10/month, the price does not even cover our cost for average use". I don't think they're going to be right that beta testers will do more searches than average users, and I think that they'll attract heavy searchers (the ones most noticing and disliking Google's quality). I would be surprised if I search less than 50 times a day, and that's probably just during work. If I was a paid Kagi user they'd be losing money on me. They say their price might have to go up, I don't see how they're going to avoid that.

Even those that are only open 9-5 M-F are not that hard to keep operational with a 4 day work week. As soon as you have five people, every person gets a different day off during the week. Plenty of people will be happy to have days other than Monday and Friday as well; that breaks up the work week so you have it easier to recover, AND it lets you use that day for errands while everything is open.
I wonder if the issue is the folks who do have unofficial 3 day weekends ... don't "officially" have them and don't want to expose that "hey we're doing that already"?

I worked at a place where it was painfully obvious that the only folks showing up (when everyone was in the office) on Fridays consistently were the tech support guys. Try and get a hold of anyone else? Chances are nope ...

So some folks have it already and sure as hell don't want to fight for it if they've got it without asking already.
I'm waiting to hear your alternative and superior strategy.
We would probably be better off seeding just some basic life first well before humans - give it time to adapt to the local environment and setup shop. Of course this could also backfire (in that it might evolve to be very hostile to human life) but if there is one thing humans are amazing at it is outcompeting other potentially hostile forms of life.
which sites can you find ultrabooks coming off corporate leases?
> If the US actually started using its military to hit these guys, what would stop them from sending a thousand guys into a large chemical or nuclear plant and creating a disaster that wiped out a city, or more?

I mean, yes, they could, but would they? What would be the realistic result of such an action? Would the US then stop and go “Well, I guess we’ll have to stop antagonizing the cartels.”. I would guess that such a thing would instead be a Pearl Harbor moment, and I think the cartels know this, too. The cartels don’t want to act out your personal nightmare scenario; they want to do things to make the US stop bothering the cartels. Instead of mindlessly scare-mongering, figure out what that action would be, and ask yourself if a war with the cartels is worth it. It might or might not be, but be realistic about it.
I've never had a full workday of getting absolutely nothing done. Maybe working 1 day less per week would boost productivity even in the long run, but there would be no going back, so I imagine employers are hesitant to take the risk.

It's also because we consume more. Instead of working less than our great-great-grandparents, we drive big cars, live in huge houses, etc.
We don't disagree here. There's merit in taste.

At the same time I'm painting the macro picture where most artistic labour is of a commercial nature. Where output is leading as long as it is good enough to serve the purpose: sales, entertainment, decoration, whichever.
Now what does Big Tech have up their sleeves this time after helping to spread more lies, (mis/dis)information and fuelling outrage for more ad clicks and eyeballs which they have profited off of two years ago?
Curious about:

1. Image size

2. Steps

3. What your numbers are for text2img

4. (most importantly) are you including the 30 seconds or so it takes to load the model initially? i.e. if you were to run 10 prompts and then divide the total time by 10, what are your numbers?
Seriously, no, re: Rust.

Yes, you have to think about ownership. Because of single owner. But in general, not alloc/free. I work in Rust (after doing C++ for the 10ish years prior) full time and a couple nights ago was honestly the first time I had to really think about this (I had to do a 'forget' because I was passing a ptr to a vector back through from WebAssembly to our Rust-based runtime, and then clean it up back there instead of having Rust let it fall out of scope and free when the stack frame exited).

Think of Rust as a world where pretty much everything is inside a std::unique_ptr.

Most developers used to a GC language will have little problem working in Rust once they understand the single ownership model.
A whole book was written on this very topic:

Corp propaganda. No one wants extra features. We want basic features working. Client is a hot mess.
They already know about us.
Except that's not even remotely true and he's wrong. The whole point of a written warranty is that it carries the force of the law behind it. I don't have to trust a business to "make things right" to attempt to get satisfaction based on a warranty.

His other point about "not wanting to leave a burden to his family" is also bunk. If your business has a bus factor of 1, that's on you, that's your fault, and you can fix that. Never mind that most business laws work out to remove personal liability from business liability.

He seemed to take it personally that people wanted written assurance that their $250!!! backpack could be fixed, despite the fact that he is on record, on the WAN show, talking about how Linus Media Group and Linus Sebastian are different entities with different priorities and often different desires about what to do in a situation. Even Luke thought he was going too far with his view and opinion on the matter.

Thankfully Linus seems like a reasonable person who is willing to do the right thing even if he doesn't personally agree with it, and they now offer a written warranty.
Do you want to add more layers to make it extra slow?
> and Israel claims to be a democracy. So we expect higher standards of ethics

Just because a state is "democratic" does not mean it is ethical, and just because a state is not "democratic" does not mean that it is unethical. That being said, Israel is definitely a murderous regime and they're getting away with any atrocities they want.
One thing I think would be interesting to research is how different people are good in different areas of math. There's lots of anecdotal evidence[0] of people saying they tend to be good at either more algebraic subjects (say group theory or algebraic number theory) or more analytical ones (PDEs or measure theory) likewise I would extend this to also include geometric/topological subjects.

In general especially as once gets into more advanced mathematics the abstraction level gets much higher quite quickly so it would interesting to know if there is any connection between brain structures and ability to grasp abstract mathematics. As an example I know a physicist who can tell you everything about general relativity and has a solid grasp of differential geometry but one time I was trying to teach him some mathematical logic and he just couldn't grok it no matter how many hours we spent on it. Likewise subjects that use category theory heavily (homological algebra/algebraic geometry for example) are known to be difficult to understand even for professional mathematicians in other areas.

In the video they claim Megapro is 20 minutes away from LTT's offices - so that'd be Canada, yeah. Unless that's just a satellite office for Megapro instead of the headquarters.
The truly problematic Colossus clusters usually fell into one of two buckets: a) those with shrinking machine counts (but always increasing traffic) because the hardware was ancient and repairs/upgrades were not viable and b) those where most of the quota was held by a single project, with massive jobs. One cluster at IDI was mostly Image Search's and it wasn't fun at all.
I remember travelling to Portugal in the early 2000's and our host describing Portugal's national bird as the (construction) crane. Not sure if the pun translates well to other languages. Are they not still doing that?
Are they that incompetent, or that malicious? Slack, Discord, etc all seem to have Electron-based apps in Linux that work just fine.

If they gave two shits about Linux, this would be working just fine. Now they're gonna push Linux users to use Edge, then probably abandon that pile.
a war with Mexico (or any significant military intervention) means 1000x more people stream over the Southern border compared to now.
Choosing life over work isn't slacking.
Read the comment. The point was not flexibility. The point was that we could be a post scarcity society where we don't have to work. At all.
Ultimately this depends on what the attack is.

If it's targeted to X company for a specific reason, they'll wait however long they need. If it's generic and X company is just caught in the crossfire, then maybe.

>Whereas no real company would be signing up for most B2B services in its first week of legal existence. (Google Workspace? Sure. Accounting software? Probably not.)

When I've registered companies in the past, it's when I have sales. Before then, it's just an idea to see if we get users. But the company with the service can determine that.
>The way the post is worded right now seems to be phrased in a way that 3-day weekends are blindingly obvious

Seems like all anti-work propaganda (ie: r/antiwork) to me, there's no meat. You could turn this post into an inductive proof saying it is so obvious that having X-1 days is better than X days of work until you get smacked in the face trying to hand wave that 1->0 will have no impact on productivity.
> And beyond that we can see that increases of productivity has not led to increase of leisure time, maybe the opposite.

Something that is often overlooked when this is debated is the fact that people are living longer, but not retiring much later. Combined with the fact that people generally start working later due to longer studies, taking the long view over a full life time, I think we are experiencing a decrease in the fraction of time spent working.

Example with rough-and-ready numbers: 100 years ago, the median male in the UK might have started working aged 14, worked until 65, and died shortly after. In contrast, today they might start working aged 20, retire at 65, and live until 80.
will it be able to show more than 4 others in a video chat at once? which seems to be another strange limitation of the Linux "teams" client.
Right, but in the constraints of a business, "more iterations" may (and probably does mean) "impossible." Second, the iterations to fix the problem block all your iterations to add new functionality - because the data model is foundational for everything else.
Honest question for the community: I noticed Meta gets downvoted here (happened a few times). Any idea why, and should I format things differently?

I hope this is not a thing, because I found my current job through a similar post here a few years ago. :(
I see a market for "lockout override kits", consisting of a $0.10 toggle switch and some clamps to switch Y/G on manually.
It's a restriction, but not a particularly punitive or effective one, unless you live in a city that's become so beholden to a single mode of travel that car usage has become some kind of dependency . Even then I'd hardly compare it to being booted from a single platform like Twitter that despite the claims of many here only represents a fraction of "public discourse" (indeed, not even a particularly large percentage of online discourse).
I mean, do employers not have freedom of association? I don't understand how you'd compel them to employ people whose speech they don't like for instance.
Remote: Yes (15 years remote: efficient, productive and highly available)
Willing to relocate: For the right position; remote w/ occasional travel much preferred

> Google operates a number of stores for books, movies, music, apps, electronics and more.

None of which are relevant to the issues of privacy being discussed. The relevant Google services, such as GMail, are provided for free (meaning no money is paid); that's why so many individuals and institutions, including government-run schools, shortsightedly adopt them without considering the actual (non-monetary) costs.

> Being a paying customer is no protection when

...you are only a paying customer for products that have nothing to do with what you're complaining about. Google isn't going to care any more about your GMail privacy just because you happen to have bought some books, movies, music, or apps on Google Play or own a Pixel phone. They have demonstrated that quite clearly for years now.
Right, it's difficult to imagine external GPUs becoming obsolete without a radical new computing technology to take their place.

For games it's easy to find useful ways to use 10x the existing GPU power, not even counting an increase in display resolution.

For massively parallel computing, the sky is the limit.
I think it's great that you've developed an app with Svelte and you're using OAuth 2.0 login with Firebase. It's awesome that you actually published something!

Things I don't like: The design, the lack of information on how to use it, it seems to be broken in Firefox - or maybe I just don't know how to use it.
Dude puts on an excited demeanor so he can get 10% more views in his videos and these assholes out here claiming he has issues. Geeze. How dare you enjoy yourself on the internet.
I think it's a stretch to say that humans can do fairly well at risk management and cost-benefit analyses; humans are deeply irrational creatures who can do some math but whose subconscious prefers to conserve calories and work with simple, easy to understand absolutes.

Almost no one is punching in the numbers on their risk profile, checking, hm, 2.5 million injuries per year, 35,000 fatalities per year, 15,000 miles driven, advantages of independent mobility, how much will this trip to hang out with Jim affect my overall quality of life... No, they're assuming "I'm a good driver, I actually have quick reflexes and a safe car, nothing's going to happen". Or they're assuming that the roads are a jungle and you're almost certain to get into a crash eventually, holding negative primals about the safety of car-oriented culture.

Likewise, I suspect that some of the negative outcomes described in the article:

> As much as we hope the dangerous-world belief will help our kids, the evidence indicates that it does exactly the opposite. In the same paper, Clifton and Meindl show that people holding negative primals are less healthy than their peers, more often sad, more likely to be depressed, and less satisfied with their lives. They also tend to dislike their jobs and perform worse than their more positive counterparts.

are more appropriate given the reality of the situation. What if your job - statistically, you're probably pushing data from one silo to another to help add another decimal place to some executive's net worth - is not actually likeable? Would you rather plaster an ignorant smile to your face and be proud of your attention to detail on those TPS reports, and happy that IT brought you a new, slightly larger monitor? Perhaps you'd call yourself depressed or sad when you consider the probable state of the global climate at your eventual retirement date (if you ever get a retirement date, that assumes social security still exists, your company doesn't discharge your pension through bankruptcy, and your investments outperform rabid inflation rates).
Cool-looking things appeal to customers, and also to developers.

It's a bit like your car. It takes you from place to place and could drive much faster than speed-limits or traffic-jams allow. But getting from place to place is not all you want. You want to pay extra for the coolest looking fastest wheels you can afford.

When you work with an app or app-development tool that looks cool your self-image improves. You are a cool dude because you work with a cool-looking application. Seriously, it does have an effect on me.

Sounds entirely like a swap-constrained operation. You need ~8gb of VRAM to load the uncompressed model into memory, which obviously won't work well on a Macbook with 8gb of memory.
Also at 10, my parents put me on a cross-country flight by myself from PDX to Atlanta (to visit family). Note, this was in 1999, not some bygone era. I imagine there would be an Amber Alert nowadays if someone noticed me sitting by myself on an airplane.
The overhead is arbitrary if done properly. I did this in Joystick [1] and was shocked at how overcomplicated folks make it.

You're literally just saying "render to static HTML on the server, and on the client, have a way to render a root component to screen and attach event handlers." Without any serious thoughts about optimization (practically none yet), a no-cache refresh/mount takes 227ms to DOMContentLoaded and 696ms to a full load.

Here's the SSR I do:

Here's the mount ("hydration"):

The only "magic" is that I embed the hydration logic into the built JS for the current page and it fires automatically on load (no need to add manual hydration code).

Lots of vitriol in this thread. Wow.

I'm grateful that Microsoft is giving Linux desktop a shot. Thanks for remembering us! (No sarcasm. I'm really impressed at how well Office works in Firefox-Linux.)
Critical thinking is something that needs to be taught at home because schools have obviously been failing us for a long time now. Not that it's entirely the fault of schools (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQR2aMGhjuw) but either way it falls on parents to fill in the gaps.
