You likely mean this talk: https://youtu.be/oKg1hTOQXoY?t=636
He says: "actually I made up the term object-oriented and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind, so the important thing here is I have many of the same feelings about smalltalk". Have a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32649622, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32651863, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32654863 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32651366 and you will (hopefully) understand why he said that. It also explains well why Ingalls was the sole author on the Smalltalk-76 paper.
Perhaps it doesn't apply to your situation, but that happens if you need to build 5 more copies of your current setup? The CDK stuff would be fine as long as your code is DRY, but all that clicking on the console... Also, can other people understand and extend your infrastructure? (Honest questions)
Yes and no. There are precision considerations to get this correct, such as allowing interpolation of control frames or fragmentation or how tightly to write frames for maximum performance without collision. These things aren’t so immediately simple and require a bit more effort.

But you are correct in that websocket support can be written directly on top of tcp (without http) for greater performance.
Perhaps seek recourse in one of the vast lucrative industries created from scratch in your lifetime (video games, b2b software, smartphones, internetworking, robots, ... )?
Magazine illustrator, concept artist, stock photography, video game art asset creation, logo generation, interior design, fashion design, costume design, political cartoonist, caricature artist, website layout templates, font design, pixel art, book covers, children’s toy plush design, new car concept prototype…?
As governments become more and more obsolete in their failure to grasp and appropriately regulate rapidly evolving high technologies and their interactions with society, should we expect alternatives to arise? Perhaps global alternative institutions with the internet as the shared region.

The bottom line is the (monopoly?) that nation-states have over the use of force, such as might be used in control over the physical telecommunications infrastructure.

Government and money need to adapt to become high technologies.
Nit: not Duma, but Supreme Council.
By far the best cure for that is to learn to like them.
Is anyone training networks to detect deep fakes? As in you feed it an image and it gives you if it’s a real image or a deep fake
It is kind of interesting how some cryptocurrencies like Solana or Stellar could in theory outcompete PayPal, Visa, MasterCard on fees but the volatility of the underlying cryptocurrency makes them uninteresting for businesses.
I'd suspect that one side factor was that the tech moat wasn't anywhere near as deep as you'd expect.

People used to be very impressed by Netflix's infrastructure-- CDN boxes in major ISP sites, all the reliability engineering gimmicks. There was probably a case to be made that "IP first" companies wouldn't want to bet that big on trying to be tech firms.

There was also a secondary risk factor, especially at your B-tier IP firms. Disney owns everything and can presumably fill a viable streaming catalog, but if your catalog is a bunch of old sitcoms and movies-of-the-week that your acquired before people were savvy about rights negbotiation, that doesn't command $10 per month. On the other hand, it would do well with an established service, plumping its long tail offerings. I suppose that was the original premise of Hulu, collecting some of the catalogs that weren't big enough to self-sustain.
The majority of Catalonians didn't support independence in 2017, at most only 50% were in favor according to opinion polls. They only won the vote because most people ignored it (barely 43% even turned up…). When the referendum was held in Lithuania 93% voted in favor, in 1990 124 out of 141 MPs in parliament voted for independence (including almost all communist MPs). So I don't think the situations are really comparable that much.
If you go on a cruise ship marketed to like-minded passengers like you, yeah, someone probably has proper authority to throw some complaints around. Namely whoever is the captain of the ship.

The post I replied to (you) reads, in part, as follows: "I also like to unplug, and it's really annoying to unplug and then have a few people not bought into the idea around you."

Absolutely, find cruise ships without internet connection if you're that deep into that sort of thing. Nobody's stopping you, nor is anyone stopping cruise lines from not providing internet.

What I'm saying is: You don't get to just go on some cruise ship and then complain people around you don't act exactly like you. That is absurd.
If you're in a situation where you might urgently need to check an email then boarding a boat and going out in to the middle of the ocean as far from an Internet connection as humanly possible is probably an less than optimal IT strategy.
I would say the same about attitudes intolerant to any criticism of wind turbines.
We've been promised self-driving cars since the mid-2010s, while AGI was supposedly only 5 or 10 years away (nowadays almost nobody mentions it anymore). All that to say that a little skepticism is understandable.

Back to the subject at hand, and as other people have already said, the generated images seem to lack emotion and "feel". They're good to maybe put as wall-art in a rented out AirBnb, but that's pretty much it. Still a cool thing from a technical perspective, though.
Just go slowly behind the cyclist until the blind turn is over?
There is a higher authority than that actually, those with the government issued money that not even the government has any control over. After all even the government has to obey the rules of its own currency which is why it is perpetually in debt vs the private sector which is mostly controlled by the rich.
Best I got was https://imgur.com/a/g9XcB2a
This is such a strange position to hold. At some point in the future may be confronted with an image that is emotionally stimulating, and you will have no idea whether a human or AI created it. Are you suddenly going to dismiss and discard it just because you subsequently learn it was AI generated? You must see how silly that is.

Your "logic" for making AI art illegal is basically "don't like it". Your personal and subjective opinion is that it's not art by definition.. This is like refusing to eat artificially grown meat because you have some strange idea about what food "should" be. Even if the meat was made MORE delicious you would still claim it wasn't food and turn it away. There's no logical consistency to your position, it's purely reactionary.
> Nearly half of the images, about 47%, were sourced from only 100 domains, with the largest number of images coming from Pinterest

This makes me vaguely uneasy. All these models and tools are almost exclusively "western".
"Why do you ask?" is a good question to keep ready when people ask what is none of their business. Even if they come up with a reason, that is not a reason to answer. You don't need to say anything at all after that. Let them try to come up with something to fill the silence.

A woman whose father killed herself was repeatedly asked how he did it. This question saved her.
~30 years ago:

- Insert floppy disk into PC's Drive A: and boot DOS

- Insert Borland TurboPascal floppy disk into PC's Drive B: and run the Turbo Pascal IDE

- Edit program in IDE, save source code on C: drive folder

- Compile, Run, Test and repeat

- Swap out boot disk from Drive A:

- Insert data disk in Drive A:

- Copy sources from C: to A:

- Delete the files in C:

- Format another data disk (accidentally destroying the sources backed up in earlier step)

- Panic and look for Norton Utilities and run it to recover the source files from Drive C:

Fun times.
Raunchy, absurd, dialed up story-telling.

All the HNers coming out to put it on record how disgusted they are with the story remind me of that Daniel Tosh clip where a heckler shouts "rape is never funny" and he goes "it's not... but wouldn't it be funny if someone raped [the heckler]?" and everyone laughs.

It's like watching people get offended on the behalf of babies over some dead baby jokes and then lecturing each other on a forum.
> What are some convos & ideas about how to pivot/ adjust, in light of this taking some art & design jerbs?

The million dollar question. The only idea that has effective traction so far is that we return to natural media (paint, sculpture etc).

> Like in the worst case scenario, aren't Art Directors and Creative Directors, Studios and Agencies, and even in-house marketing teams going to be using these AI image generation tools, as part of the process to reach the final images that go live?

Our worry is that we will end up training art directors, not artists. The problem will be that everyone thinks that they are an art director. Just like everyone thought they were a designer with the dawn of desktop publishing.
So this is how you advertise a product - fly it over Mt Everest and give everyone the birds eye view of the tallest point on earth. Suspect DJI will shift some models of the Mavic 3...
This is not an example of AI handling the inbetweens.

This water-morph effect is undesirable for inbetweens.
> VStudio is best IDE but to with a secret tunnel to nefarious practices to use when needed[ like telemetry + closed source extensions + Heavy + slow + whatnot!]

It’s telling that you needed help from “whatnot” to pad out this list.

In what world is “Heavy + slow” a nefarious practice? Even assuming this is true, all of us have written software that was far from perfect. There wasn’t anything nefarious about either situation, it was only people trying to ship software under time constraints. That you ascribe evil intentions to some software being slow says more about you than them.

Telemetry - so much digital ink has been spilled on this. Not one person I’ve asked can actually explain what’s wrong with this. What would actually go wrong if performance and usage metrics are sent to their server. “But they can be deanonymized!” Ok, let’s assume they can. Now we know it takes your computer 40ms to load the side bar, 20ms to create a new in-built terminal, and the version control screen crashes every time you open it. What now? How does this actually change anything?

You folks complaining about telemetry think your job is done when you say “telemetry is nefarious”. But I can’t see a path for exploitation of this data in any way. No doubt you’ll tell us how. When doing so, please let’s assume that Microsoft is compliant with GDPR.

Lastly closed source extensions - OP makes a compelling case that this is how we’ll end up with just one online editor. Yeah, I definitely see it. That’s the one thing I’ve been convinced of.
Hashicorp isn't just a small fish in the pond, it's a bunch of smaller fish in different ponds. I use Terraform to deploy EKS and a bunch of other AWS stuff. I have used Vault as part of a secret management strategy. I've only used Nomad as a toy. I ditched Vagrant after docker came along.

Hashicorp isn't one cohesive product, it's a bunch of parts that can work together. "But you may need an adult to help you with the scissors and glue".
Yeah and a great motivator for the business to do everything in their power to make the Swift compiler faster. Oh wait…
Back in the DOS days I had (and a still do) a copy of a tool called 'Morph', it took two GIF images, and you placed marker points on the first image and then again on the second, and it generated an MPEG2 file of the morphing.

Very impressive for the time.

Yep it’s missing intent, just like machine translation. There somehow seems to be less information than there is in the input. I think more people will start to notice it as time goes by.
I think Halfassed toys and projects meant to actually be "successful" should have a clean separation.

OP seems to have enjoyed making a toy websocket server. I highly doubt they want to turn it into something bulletproof. It seems they just wanted to learn and make a cool blog post.

Fun weekend projects are usually things you can quit or modify.

When one of them gets attached to a real goal, you get stuck reinventing 50 wheels, and if any get tedious, or the tech you wanted to learn gets obsolete, it's much harder to drop them, you get sunk cost fallacy stuff, etc, plus you can't try random stuff.

You have to use a toilet. You can't make a paper mache tuba and shop vac contraption on a project meant to succeed.

If someone is going to slowly build a cathedral, I think that works best with something that has a reasonable MVP.

The only WS server I would choose is one of the top most bulletproof ones in the language I was using. Until you reach that threshold, the product is a terrible idea for anything practical.

If you want to make a WS server for fun, you probably want to go just far enough to learn some stuff and then stop, because a practical one takes months(Unless you're one of those NIH nuts that would rather use something small and DIY than something reliable).

I suspect that the lack of expectations is why so many people seem to enjoy these weekend projects, and why I pretty much regret literally 95% of them, and feel that they were just time drains I didn't enjoy at all.

I expected DIY projects to actually be part of my future goals, and did crap like building light fixtures instead of buying DMX lights.

I learned some things in the process, but I didn't actually start getting closer to where I want to be in my career till I learned to stop, and that nobody cares what tech I invent, they want stuff to work, and they want people who know how to use the stuff they already trust.
I noticed this too, with the same description every time. How does this work in the model, does this give repeated images a bigger weight?

It's surprising that these weren't filtered out, and it would be interesting to know the number of unique images. (When it is mentioned that a model was trained on 10 billion images for example, obviously if each image is repeated 5 times then the actual number of images is 2 billions, not 10.)
Wait, are we talking about a drone dropping grenades in a war zone or a FPV freestyler buzzing a concert crowd here?
That's an interesting set of questions, and it feels frustrating that we'll probably never get an answer for most of them.

My most important question regarding software engineering would probably be something like: how well are resources allocated and could we do a better job? Consider how many brilliant and outstanding people go work on some useless software at a big adtech company rather than helping to improve the world. The greatest tragedy of our time.
I fully agree, a negative income tax model that is similar to a UBI would minimize the bureaucracy of income taxes while simultaneously reducing the need for ultra specific means tested benefits programs.
Like prison phone calls?
Geo engineering proponents please note: how this plays out is still a work in progress.

Interested me how strongly this influences northern hemispheric weather. I assumed the tropics acted to suppress this kind of hemisphere interaction but maybe that's the jetstreams for you.

Also found it interesting how it's net cooling but does also carry warming qualities: it's a reflective blanket. Net insulation drops, but heat we have is now partially trapped. Presumably that too plays out over time.

AGW theory opponents will be making much of this, I am sure.
Expedia didn’t make travel agents obsolete. Just 99% of them.

Ok but please read up on FedNow so you remain an expert.
The South Korean government was corrupt and largely only staid in power because they were willing to commit extreme atrocities (and obviously due to US support). However it still worked out in the end. Not sure Vietnam is that difference, however Korea seems to be much more ethnically and religiously homogenous so that probably played a part.
Red Hat is the exception that proves the rule. Canonical and Suse haven't been huge successes from a financial perspective. They've survived mostly by investors hoping they'd turn into the next Red Hat but they haven't.

Certainly Amazon, Microsoft, and Google have generated much more revenue selling cloud services based on Linux than even Red Hat ever did selling Linux support.
>React works great for simple examples and small applications.

I'd like to have some citation here. Most of the product startups use React for their frontend, and they seem to make it work really well. Never saw any issues.

He seems like the least bad of the Soviet/Russian rulers and that's why he's revered. Compared with the rest he's a shining star because the others are/were so bad.

At least he only sent tanks in to suppress peaceful protests and killed a few people in a handful of EE countries and not all of the Eastern Bloc.
The Economist has a good book on this. From memory, I think it's called "Introduction to Financial Markets".

But, beyond that, I'd question what specifically you feel you need to know in the vast field of economics that would help you grow your business?

A lot of it might be less about economics and more about finance, financial modelling, accounting, etc which are disciplines in their own right.
Human artists can copy an art using transparent tracing paper on a lightbox just like that, and that will be plagiarism. No reasons AI output shouldn’t be.
You're thinking of Microsoft PhotoSynth from 2006. This is similar to what google streetview showed up with.

From what I can see, they later revamped PhotoSynth to include actual 3d mesh reconstruction in 2014.

Regarding the ethics. Thought experiment: I look at a copyrighted image, get inspiration, and then draw a new image (which is not the same as the copyrighted image). Is that ethical?
But if I do this millions of times, after looking at millions of copyrighted images, is it still ethical (as long as I don't recreated copyrighted images)? Tough questions!
Can you explain? Are you saying there is a long list, with some hidden elements that need updating (but not rendering)?

If so... can the entire list be stored in state (and updated as necessary), but only the ones marked "is visible" actually get rendered?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding completely...

Also, Elon constantly oversells his products every chance he is given - Tesla shows, any interview, I think he managed to do it even when he went on SNL.

It depends, they compose better until they don't. It is easy to mess hooks up if you do not call them in the right order, especially if they are nested (composed) in other functions. You need discipline to use them correctly.

Ironically they could have prevented this by making them more functional. Instead of some magic hidden state, you should have to always pass a context to them, and you should have to give every hook a unique name or a Symbol().

What does make you think so? I have witnesed everything since Brezhnev. Under Gorbachev thing started to detiriorate quite fast and most people shifted their focus from being happy about the iron curtain removal to making ends meet.
