Ask HN: Why don't we have 3 day weekends yet?
After covid, and the temporary transition to remote (for some), it seem that switching from 5 days to 4 days would be an arbitrary decision, with very little real impact. (Of course I'm referring to jobs done in typical 5 day week).

For those who say it would lead to a decrease in productivity. Well that is only relative to the 5 day week. And the 5 day week, only exist because of some archaic reasons. It is not some law ingrained in the universe.

And beyond that we can see that increases of productivity has not led to increase of leisure time, maybe the opposite.

And we know many people who work barely a fraction of the week, yet need to maintain this kind of presenteeism. It seems absurd. Will we be trapped in this irrational mindset forever, or just until a certain generations dies out?
Often, yes.

A problem with money is that it abstracts away harm so that a person stops thinking like it's so bad to take money away from people because it's just money, when in fact you're actually taking away the things people can do with that money.

Did zero people end up homeless as a result of this fraud? Did zero people lose a job? Did zero people turn to crime to get by? Did zero people get pushed over the edge to suicide? How many years of life were lost due to stress or more difficult life situations? To depression? To hunger?

I doubt any of those numbers are zero. The stories are just hidden behind the abstraction of money.

Crypto companies preying on gullible people more vulnerable to the loss of large sums of money and then losing their money due to management incompetence and fraud are indeed responsible for a lot of real world harm.
What I most enjoy about crypto is the special language it has for everything.
Brilliant, thank you! I just got OP's setup working, but this seems much more user-friendly. Giving it a try now...

EDIT: Got it working, with a couple of pre-requisite steps:

0. `rm` the existing `stable-diffusion` repo (assuming you followed OP's original setup)

1. Install `conda`, if you don't already have it:

brew install --cask miniconda

2. Install the other build requirements referenced in OP's setup:

brew install Cmake protobuf rust

3. Follow the main installation instructions here: https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion/blob/main/README-...

Then you should be good to go!

EDIT 2: After playing around with this repo, I've found:

- It offers better UX for interacting with Stable Diffusion, and seems to be a promising project.

- Running txt2img.py from lstein's repo seems to run about 30% faster than OP's. Not sure if that's a coincidence, or if they've included extra optimisations.

- I couldn't get the web UI to work. It kept throwing the "leaked semaphor objects" error someone else reported (even when rendering at 64x64).

- Sometimes it rendered images just as a black canvas, other times it worked. This is apparently a known issue and a fix is being tested.

I've reached the limits of my knowledge on this, but will following closely as new PRs are merged in over the coming days. Exciting!
It's not fantastic. You really aren't missing much.

Just wait a few decades from now for the dust to settle, then we will read stories like this one but from our era about our leadership:

The phrase "rug pull" is almost cartoonishly evil. It implies waiting until the victims are feeling nice and secure, and then you rip everything out from under them as quickly as possible. The fact that the phrase has become so closely related to crypto activities is really telling.
In my experience, most halfway respectable companies already do?

500 bucks is IMO on the low side for an employee referral in the US if it's for software engineering... the amount of money you save the hiring team alone in recruiting efforts is often in the thousands of dollars, and they often stay longer and are often the best hires - not surprising if former colleagues they like are already there...

For roles I've worked, I've never seen less than $2k offered for a successfully recommended technical hire, both at startups and BigCos. Most places I've worked have offered around $5k.
While the sentiment of the piece—versatility > specialization—can certainly make sense, I can’t help but feel like it’s just a rant idealizing the type of person who invests significantly more than their workday into their craft, which I haven’t at all found to be much of a predictor of ability or even attitude. I know some great software engineers who do a ton of programming outside of work, and I know some great ones who do none.

> I don't want the GUI guys. I don't want the database guys. I don't want the middleware guys.

I don’t want a team of just a "guys", regardless of its and their abilities. Huge omission in a piece ultimately purporting to promote diversity (of thought).

> language specialist AKA snob

Those are two different things. I consider myself a Python specialist because I greatly enjoy working with the Python ecosystem (which is significantly broader than just the language itself) and thus prefer it whenever it’s a reasonable choice, but have also used other ecosystems and continue to do so, partly to learn.
Ctrl+f "cars", no hits.

You very likely have a cooling system issue. Normal temps should be closer to half that (~50c). Of course it depends on ambient temps and if you are overclocking, but 100c is not anywhere near normal.
So can hand drawn or photoshopped art.
For simple web pages it's allright, but when you have complex UI you benefit from the declarative javascript frameworks like ReactJS, and those work best with REST endpoints
The point has more teeth since it is the same website. The point is that no individual or organization is perfectly good or perfectly bad, and we need to be able to recognize the good without it being treated as an endorsement of the bad.
Any data to support this? Because I can name quite a few, especially one very recent popular legal action based on political divide that have very different consequences for the populace.
Apple is benefiting from ARM suing Qualcomm?
The US also has a higher bar for what constitutes slander/libel than the UK, which can also have a chilling effect on speech.
On-Board was good enough and cheap enough. It was as simple as that. A lot of the Audio processing moved to the CPU. Dedicated Sound Processor Effect requires Gaming support.

There was also Aureal. Both Creative and Aureal had their own specific API to try and create a similar moat like Glide from 3DFx but failed. And then Realtek took over.

Creative could have competed with onboard Audio as well. But they were too worry about losing their Sound Blaster Revenue, so they somehow diverged into other things like GPU ( 3DLabs ), MP3 players, Speakers, etc etc. And every single one of them failed.

If you are looking for modern Audio Engineering, you could look at PS5. But powerful DSP isn't exactly rocket science anymore. A lot of the improvement has to do with software.

Creative used to be the pride of Singapore. It is sad the company was badly managed and never made the leap to the next stage.
Thanks for posting. Pipebird sounds really useful. We're running a conference on November 15th called Open Source Analytic Software 2022. It's free and covers all parts of the open source analytic stack. Talks on innovative new tech are very welcome. I would like to invite you to submit a talk.

I don't think Popper was so daft as to believe that only Soviets and Nazis are capable of the kind of intolerance that should not be tolerated. I'd daresay that democracies happily carrying out repressions, summary executions, lynchings, concentration camps, institutionalized slavery, etc, etc would meet that bar as well.

You don't need to drape a swastika around you to be a fascist, you can get by just as well with any other flag.
It isn't required for some (most?) users. Weirdly sometimes pip is picking up the wheel for `onnx`, sometimes it isn't, and we can't figure out why.

Any Python packaging experts know what's going on? all macOS 12, arm64, Python 3.10. Can't think it wouldn't resolve the wheel.

But yes, good idea to move up. I'll stick it next to the `pip install`.

Yep:

>... a Zoom town – towns that attracted remote workers as they fled expensive cities during the pandemic.
Along with the rapture and the year of the Linux desktop, I'm sure.
> We don't log payment transactions. We receive notifications from Stripe to our webhook which updates the billing state.

So then you have a Stripe account with the transaction information. It is ridiculous to think that you have no information about payments coming to you, not even a transaction ID or reference number.

> That is why we make the point of not having any search history. Think about it - what would we use it for? It would just be a liability for us.

"Trust us bro, we don't log."

Yeah, no thanks... I don't trust you because you told me to, and I've seen other companies saying the same thing that did in fact comply and keep logs but had agreements with agencies that made it "okay" to lie.
Yes, on their product page it has a "LTT Screwdriver Limited Lifetime Warranty" that you can click to expand and read.
If you'd prefer im sure crypto investors would be happy to take justice into their own hands.

Somehow i think you wouldnt like private mercenaries running around hanging people that crypto bros dislike though
Why do people think this? We have ample evidence that prudes and judgy people have no issue freaking out about fake scandals TODAY. Judging other people based on crazy rules you put on yourself is a human nature thing. There's no reason to believe there will be fewer prudes in the future to shame you for totally normal things.

Remember, there are people today who genuinely think rape victims got what they deserve for being sluts. I don't know how you can look at that situation and think "surely those same horrible people won't use this as an excuse to otherise someone". There are people within my own country who say "it was a mistake for the supreme court to allow gay people to marry" and the politicians who say such things are broadly popular. Where is this magical world where people aren't busibodies?
I'm also wary of tools with any kind of rubber overmolded handles. That rubber is going to break down after about 10 years, it will be sticky and you'll smell the butyric acid vomit smell. I've remember seeing a video of a 15 year old Wera driver with that issue.
Can you petition the city to install speed bumps in your neighborhood?
Can I just clarify, are you talking about when states do this or when society does this ?

The article is (from my reading) quite clearly talking about states that are closing down freedom of expression, not society as a whole.

Like, I can say, “The American President is a disaster for the country, all his ideas a trash, he smells funny and should be voted out as soon as possible” and I don’t have to fear the the American Government is coming to get me. In places with reducing freedom of expression this is becoming more dangerous.

This is very different to saying something politically controversial and losing my job because a company doesn’t want to go against public opinion.
One should assume that this platform is as brigaded by vested interests as any other platform on the internet
Oops, for some reason I thought Hungary had their own design and supply chains...

That leaves China and South Korea as the only groups left with know how. And China is probably out for similar reasons. South Korea has had a few corruption issues but maybe they have fixed those.

I still have questions about whether advanced economies should be generating power from giant, complex construction projects when their manufacturing productivity is so massively dominant over construction prductivity. But I would love to be proven wrong about advanced economies' ability to build nuclear economically.
Often that work exists regardless of if a table of processed data that engineering formatted and schema-fied is dumped out to Excel or queried over SQL into Pandas...

I've seen this myself: the person who "naively" downloads that table and plays around in excel finds interesting things that the person who was using Pandas hadn't, because the code to manipulate columns and do certain types of calcs is actually more time consuming to write and modify than making a bunch of new columns in Excel with a bunch of formulas!

A good data scientist will have a more rigorous approach to their notebooks and practice reuse and so on... but that's not necesssarily easy.
I have trouble taking this article seriously when Canada, where a bill is under consideration to regulate posting on social media, is colored more free than the United States (at least if that awful heat diagram is accurate).

> I am far too anxious and socially inept to handle that.

I was too (and still to a degree am). I once shared a rental with a female socialite. She said she accepts EVERY invitation to go out and suggested I do the same.

Getting used to being around people and being in awkward situations where you have to talk to randoms will develop calluses. It is a skill you can develop by just practice. (public speaking is another example).

I look forward to talking to you in a random party! :)
My first job as a cycle mechanic was great because we had Snap On for everything and the Snap On van would pop by regularly to keep us with everything needed.

We actually sold fancy bike tools including Park, which is the allegedly professional brand in cycling.

I enjoyed the flex of being able to work extremely fast with those extremely shiny tools. Hence, for irrational reasons I see Snap On as a premium brand to not be questioned, even if all evidence is contrary.

Intel is like that for me, I have heard AMD are better but I cling onto this notion that Intel are always better for floating point and, even though I have no evidence of that, my mind is made up. I will take that Intel CPU and I don't care if it is slower, takes twice the electricity and costs more.

With Snap On I do not know how well their business was able to pivot to the web where you can get whatever tool you want from the jungle store, next day. The Snap On van brought excellence to our door with every specialist tool you could wish for. Price didn't matter because you would need to drive hours to find a stockist of lesser brands.

My personal favourite screwdriver to 'flex' is my Silicon Graphics screwdriver. We have bonded and I am not going to upgrade to some YouTuber's screwdriver.
When I read your post I interpreted it as the government making people whole out of the general tax fund. However, after reading the articles, it seems the government seized assets from fraudsters and then returned the assets to the victims.

This comment is not intended to argue about anything, just adding a clarification.
Some - not all - very wealthy people don't feel constrained by what is legal, moral, or enough. Being very wealthy can mean you don't derive your security from your community moral standing, but instead by purchasing security.

And they are not necessarily wrong in the logical sense, because as a society, we have allowed much financial crime to go unpunished or mildly punished so there is low deterrence effect for such people.
lol presumably the OP didn't know that... hence the confusion.
essentially turning that crytpo into the financial system that the original crypto (bitcoin) was trying to differentiate itself from (or make obsolete, we do not know satoshi's political intentions)
How does it compare to Adapalene gel ? In past, I have had incredible results with Adapalene gel for my light brown skin. It helped with hyperpigmentations + skin pores size. Only problem with it is that it’s not available in drugstore without prescription in Canada. I love Adapalene gel but due these issues in Canada I am looking for alternatives. I would love to hear how your product compares with Adapalene gel for hyperpigmentations and skin pore size reduction.
It all starts with making a mistake. To cover for the mistake, you make another gamble, and if it doesn't pay off, then the whole process begins.

This is why when you make the mistake, you open up and own it.
I'm working on getting this running. Instead of "venv/bin/activate" I had to run "source venv/bin/activate". And I got an error installing the requirements, fixed by running "pip install pyyaml" as a separate command.
I wonder if this is going to be a huge boon to m1 sales.

I’m not an expert on brain development but I’m pretty sure kids just simply do not have a lot of spatial awareness. I know I tend to watch out for them even just walking around them because they don’t pay attention to where they are going.
This! I ran a small makerspace, and people would add the group but never show up at the space,and never contributed to anything. I felt like I had to keep paying because when I stopped they basically ransomed the group. I had a bunch of people panicking thinking the physical space was shutting down and that I was quiting.

Actually it ended up being a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. I won't have anything to do with meetup.com anymore after seeing it from the other side.
It's the same everywhere.

Vancouver, Toronto.

Surpluses are being gathered by the global elite and they are coming back to buy property the locals cannot afford and leave the spaces underutilized and empty.

How on god's green earth we allow our 'land' in urban areas - a very valuable resource to be 'exported' while owners pay nary any taxes ... is completely insane.

We should basically ban foreign ownership, or, tax it heavily and especially require domiciles to be either occupied or to have a tax so that it 'gets occupied' at some rate.

So Qualcomm is going to strong arm, Google and the hundreds of phone manufacturers to switch? I also think you overestimate the market for high end Android phones. Most Android phones being sold today are cheap low end phones. There really isn’t that large of market for high end Android phones.
I think many people are programmed to seek a continual sense of improvement and accomplishment to feel our life is progressing and not regressing or staying static. If you already have a billion dollars and everything you could possibly want, how do you achieve that feeling? Maybe through altruistic work, but that's not your MO. Your MO is making money, so the answer is: 2 billion.
Those would be removed as well. So everything is consistent.
Can you describe how you did (/ are doing) this? Do you now need to use conda (as opposed to OPs pip only version)?

It's not true that there is nothing in between censoring everything and censoring nothing.
>Images generated with Stable Diffusion is not "faking explicit content ... of another person"

That's just plain old not true. Stable Diffusion absolutely can generate a likeness of a celebrity, just try it here[1] (I just punched in "Uma Thurman" completely at random and got a few likenesses of her face returned to me). You can download the public model and tweak it to go even further[2], eg nude.
