If enough businesses and services start requiring it, then I'd be forced to in order to participate in society.

I'm thinking of the analogy to Facebook and related companies. I'm not "forced" to use Facebook, and choose not to, but in doing so, I'm already locked out of a nontrivial portion of society. If this sort of thing happens with money, opting out could become entirely untenable.
That _is_ what is sounds like...

dreamstudio is also waaaay faster than openai. generally a second or two for 512x512 at 50 steps.
Somehow it tickles my brain way deeper so i guess I enjoy it more even if less easy.
> That doesn't have any relevance to a critique of capitalism.

Pedantically, you are correct. But pragmatically, the people who write "capitalism is bad because of X" are usually interested in replacing it with leftism.

> only one criteria

Your post would be more interesting if you pointed out one criteria where Marxism is better.
Because depicting a woman in a kitchen is perpetuating the pernicious male patriarchy? Sorry we're not doing that. You might find some reception for this sort of thing on Twitter though.
Authoring any work, no matter how closely copied, is not an infringement. The infringement is commercial distribution of copyrighted work. And yes, I do think you should be liable for whatever you distribute commercially, regardless of how you obtain it.

Are you actually implying that Twitter mobs haven't done all of these things too? This is obviously wrong.

I applied at google the last time I looked for a job (dec2020-jan 2021). The 5-7 stages interview process isn't even the worst thing about it. Unless you disagree in principle, it's basically a day's worth of time.

After confirming that the hiring committee had said yes, and a level, the recruiter found some teams that were atrocious (either they were looking for a completely different skillset, or so far out from my stated preferences). We then did a 2nd round of interviews and did a level jump (mid Feb-2021), and found a team in mid-March. After okay-s from both sides, it took them till mid-April to come up with an offer.

My entire h1 transfer for the company I chose took less than how long google took for the last step.
As a hard-core Apple Airport user for a long time, the Apple stuff was great until it wasn't. For example, wanting to put the Xbox in the DMZ. You can do that on the Airports, but it's not called "DMZ" (IIRC) and it's not at all obvious. Whereas Ubiquiti is like the industrial version of an Airport or something, because if you do want to put devices in a DMZ or on a VLAN, you can do it and without a lot of effort. Of course, Ubiquiti's stuff has limitations, so the next stop is...MicroTik? Cisco?

But, yeah, if Apple had kept the Airports going, I'd have had little reason to look elsewhere, and would probably still use them.
They sure missed boat with Teams / Slack.
My counterexample list is not just myself, that's just the first and most obvious element. There is no point to listing all the people that hate your newfound religion despite being from the 'younger generation', almost everybody hates this shit, probably including your kids as well.

A free man should resist anything, whether it's a change or the status quo, if it's pushed by self-serving bullies and pathetic status seekers. The dominant religion where I live is 1400+ years old, it's a moral and intellectual disease embraced only by the scum and the naive.

I'm not being extra hard on your religion because it's good to be spiteful, this is just how I treat most religions. It's good to be spiteful to religions and their followers because that's what they deserve most.
I can see both sides of this argument. One the one hand, I try to separate the artist from the art. A lot of terrible people have made a lot of great art over the centuries.

On the other hand, if someone is actively trying to harm my friends and family, I’m sure as hell not going to support them by giving them money.
My backups are not in my home.
>That is an absurdity

That's not an absurdity. There's no contradiction in those statements. You simply disagree because you have different priorities from me.

>I withdraw the moral nihilist comment, because I've realized you can't be that, given that you're prescriptively arguing for no moderation as being superior to moderation. That means there is some moral system there that you're not disclosing

Like I said, it depends on the interpretation of the word. If you're using the word "morals" to refer to a system of values (i.e. a set of relative importances that are assigned to things) that inform people's decisions, then yes, I believe in those, obviously.

>If you're not arguing from some tribal culture war motivation, then I find your opinions to be bizarre and can't understand the system of principles or axioms that they come from.

What do you find bizarre about the following?

* In any system involving multiple people, fairness is of utmost importance to maintain stability and cohesion. Unfair treatment causes conflict and divisions.

* No idea should be silenced. The acceptance that some ideas should be silenced and others not inevitably leads to conflict regarding the rationale itself and whether it's applied fairly, and may lead to a slippery slope. On the other hand, if absolute free speech is in effect no one can legitimately complain that they're being treated unfairly.

There are also more practical reasons to oppose censorship in all its forms, such as the Streisand effect.
Twitter is a place where interesting people doing interesting work in all kinds of fields with all kinds of priors from all kinds of perspectives post threads about their work generally for non-specialist consumption. Among my follows from intellectual perspective are animal studies folks, small book publishers, medieval studies, anthropologists, chemists, banking nerds, political scientists, contract lawyers, religious educators, sex educators, Native American advocates....

From cultural perspective as an older white northeast US man I pick folks to follow from as wide a demographic and timezone range as possible.

Lots of other stuff happens at Twitter too of course but this is what I use it for. Haven't found another soup like it.

And of course the VAST majority of the world is not on Twitter, maybe owns a phone but not a computer, and does interesting things unknown to the digital sphere. To actually EXPAND your worldview you have to travel. Go to the places, put your entire meatspace sensory apparatus in the environment. But the Platos shadow online version is I think what you were asking about.

There are LOTS of ways to optimize Twitter use but to start just make sure you change the algorithm to latest tweets, rather than "Home Tweets" and then start adding people. When you get up to 1000 follows you should have a steady stream of worldview novelty.

Addition: "meet" has multiple connotations and often the two way interactive meet with interesting people is hard/impossible because they are very busy and/or manage their time, etc. Twitter presents an opportunity for learning passively through osmosis, which is also not the same as two way interaction but can be worldview expanding all the same.

I tend to archive things in the most common formats, and haven't had much trouble with it.

For example, in the 80s I'd use various compression programs. When I eventually archived them, I uncompressed them with the old compression programs.

I store pdfs with a .txt version of their contents, too.
That’s not what a race to the bottom is. It’s just competition, which is usually good.

The dinosaurs in the polar reason isn't because it was warmer, it's because the Strait of Magellan were closed.

One of the reasons we are in an ice age right now (which refers to a period where you have periodicly advancing and retreating glaciers) is because you have a continent on the pole and a clear sea lane around it, before the Strait of Magellan opened you have a current that circulated between the poles and equater evening out the temperatures allowing for ice free poles.
You aren’t alone.
Actually, Jeff Bezos worked at a startup, Fitel, for two years, as his first job out of college. (Maybe 1990 D.E. Shaw would be considered a startup, too, actually.) But good points regardless.

This just reads like Cloudflare trying to dodge all culpability / wash their hands of the harm caused by those they knowingly provide services to by shifting the buck elsewhere.

Pretending courts are oracle machines that perfectly determine which sites should be permitted in countries and inferring selecting websites to provide security services to is a totally binary choice.
Interesting, that definition of "prequel" creates a strange conceptual symmetry with the word "sequel".

Both "prequel of A" and "sequel of A" imply "published later than A but set in the same universe", with "pre" and "se(q)" referring to the timelines, we can factor out "quel" to mean just that. I guess "Back to the future III" would be neither a sequel not a prequel, but definitely a quel.
This is... Almost exactly how I feel, to the detail. Glad I'm not alone in that!

Blind copying is highly adaptive behavior and is the engine of human culture. Inventing things and reasoning correctly is really difficult, and copying widely adopted behaviors is usually much safer and more efficient.

Reading 'Not by Genes alone' really changed my perspective on this and helped me understand the blind copying as a very successful heuristic that sometimes gets things wrong.

You didn't give me an argument you gave me a twitter thread. The argument I interpreted from the thread was if you let your bar be associated with a Nazi (because you served them) then down the road they will invite their other Nazi friends and eventually your bar will become a Nazi bar. In the context of this HN thread I take this argument to mean, well Null is associating with people who harassed this woman to death, therefore Null supports it. Which is why I gave the response I did.

Is Homeland Security actively following and prosecuting that group you mentioned? I mean, on account of them being allegedly "terrorists".
Thanks for the link, tragically, it only illustrates the point.

The last time I raised this matter I also mentioned neon light transformers which are also used for creating Lichtenberg figures. It's likely that these transformers are even more popular for that purpose.

They're also very popular for producing Jacob's ladder arcs, there's any number of videos on YouTube about them.

Neon light transformers are also extremely dangerous as they can easily deliver several hundred mA across one's chest. At that current one's pretty much history.

I've found that most of the time dev teams use async workflow for code reviews. But it delays releases and leads to a lot of postponed context switches. In my experience, sync code reviews that have higher priority over other tasks is a much more productive workflow. With sync reviews we can deliver faster and improve the quality of the codebase
I used Starlink for fully remote work for a couple years in a rural area (US West). I had occasional 5-15 second drops until the satellite-picking algorithm was updated (from the closest satellite to the satellite with the best signal). Ever since, it has been nearly flawless for my remote job purposes; however, speedtesting indicates a mild slowdown over time.

I was an early-ish adopter, so I have the first gen hardware. I think that may make some difference.
maybe it's just me but I've noticed a general steady decline in Dota 2 Turbo mode "toxicity" over the years.

I mean HN always picks up on the latest things and runs with it while it's in the zeitgeist. Just let it pass and let people advance it. It's technology. It's neat.

Think about everything else that was a thing everyone posted about and frame it the same way. "what are other use cases are there for the greater collective good?" And you'll see how silly this sounds
There is a attrition warfare right now, and both sides are dug in. Russia has a non-existent morale and questionable logistics, so it is doubtful that they will end up winning. NATO will never lose interest, providing Ukraine with what they need is the cheapest way to keep Russia at bay, and there is an arms race with China. Putin's rule can't last forever. Ukraine also wouldn't allow Russia to hold onto any of the terrories it gained, worst case they can wage an asymmetric war making the occupation exceedingly costly. Russia will run out of steam, because this war is both unjust and unsustainable.

It is doubtful that nuclear weapons used for their psychological effect could weaken the Ukrainian resolve. The tactical advantages would be negligible, and Ukraine would end up gaining more support from the world.

A few possible theories, some might be mutually exclusive:

Organizational scar tissue making them more risk averse about the PR risks of letting the genpop use AI generation tools, and create something offensive. With the safe assumption that Google will get blamed, not the user.

Fear of government regulation on AI if they don't self-regulate.

No need to actually release it, since this isn't the core business but just research. (While openai needs to actually create the business.) Corollary: more to lose -- a scandal around offensive content will not hurt openai's non-existent other businessess. It might make some advertisers pull their ads from Google.

The opportunity cost of building a self serve platform is too high. (Can't pull in people writing those kind of apps from projects with more commercial importance. Can't make the ML researchers do that.)

They misjudged how much demand there would be, and thought that building a platform would not be useful for a few years. And if it now turns out to actually be a great business it'll now take them a year to productionize and build a platform.

Their compute requirements are so high that selling access is not viable, the costs are prohibitive for real users.

It's not that different from e.g. self driving cars. Pretty obviously they had better tech from early on, but were not willing to take the risks that Tesla was.
Not tired, but not impressed either. Looks cool, but I think it gets pretty boring after a couple of usages. Highly overrated and hyped if you ask me.

You are right about sbmm, but it doesn’t make for a good progression system imo. If my hidden elo says I’m diamond or w/e I should cruise through early ranks instead of being matched with other diamond elo players climbing from bronze. It should only feel like a slog/be super competitive when the external rank matches the hidden elo. Not the entire time IMO.

Some games get this right, others (looking at you Apex Legends Arenas Mode) does not and it just winds up being a terrible slog.
And the reason it's easier to make than a wooden bike is that you can take a normal bike and pour concrete onto each element.
Show HN: OpenBracket, a collaborative code editor for technical interviews
Hi everyone!

At Fluxon, we found that we were't happy with existing solutions for collaborative coding with engineering candidates in our technical interviews. So we built OpenBracket.net—a simple code editor with no setup or log in needed—just share the link and start coding together.

Our first version is now available for anyone to use. We’d love some feedback. Thanks!
you've stated this multiple times in this thread, yet it's ambiguous at most.

You've extrapolated quite a bit. The truth is that I don't have a resolution, it is a very difficult problem that has many moving parts. The salaries that these 'highly talented' developers working on 'useless technology' command is not something that can easily brushed off.

Pakistan foreign minister:

> "And while we understand that the new reality of climate change means more extreme weather, or monsoons, more extreme heat waves like we saw earlier this year, the scale of the current flood is of apocalyptic proportions. We certainly hope it's not a new climate reality."

Pakistan also had major record-breaking flooding in 2010, and rainfall patterns appear very similar to this event:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Pakistan_floods

It's probably a safe bet that Pakistan will continue to see these kinds of events at least once every ten years for the foreseeable future, with a likely increase in frequency and severity. Warming the planet means pumping more moisture into the atmosphere, which in combination with more random global atmospheric circulation patterns, means more extremes of flood and drought.
Just a thought, but what if all citizens over the age of 18 could use TOTP [with a randomly-assigned secret] to verify their age. If they don't have a mobile device, they could purchase one of those "calculator-like" TOTP devices.

Sure, you could give yours to a friend but you could also scan a friend's face with the biometric suggestion or their ID with that suggestion. At least the TOTP suggestion would be quicker to verify, [can be] more privacy-friendly, and can be offloaded onto any devices (you already have one if you're going to need to verify yourself).

It's a pretty good episode. Cartman does a whole Bugs Bunny bit with Osama Bin Ladin as Elmer Fudd. Anyway, I was trying to illustrate what I meant in my original comment.

You asked "Why does it matter to you that your sexuality is depicted on screen? Sounds like a bizarre thing to worry about."

The fact that you find it a bizarre thing to worry about could be seen as indicating that you're unfamiliar with the lives of LGBTQ people, which condition would presumably be improved by seeing more depictions of their lives in mass media.
Hahahaha. Yeah. Sure.
