Rather than ignoring the several conditions I mentioned, Read again on what I said:

> I am still against OpenAI’s gatekeeping and gave AI itself a chance to be more used for good and significantly less dystopian.

> Worse part is that they haven't built any detectors for this.

So it is neither. If a given AI project has no detectors or a straight indicator of knowing that it is generated by an AI, then the whole project should be effectively scrapped and cancelled, postponed, etc until it has one. It is that simple. And No. DALL-E 2's tiny watermark doesn't count.

'AI researchers' know the dystopian scam that they are creating and they know that they need detectors and analyzers for them to significantly reduce the risk of malicious use. So it doesn't matter if there are others that are more powerful as the conditions are still the same.
People here are always discuss about stable diffusion, but I think Dall E2 is better than stable diffusion.Any comments?
This looks like a scam. If this is real you might use "show hn" and provide some proper background info.

Three comments from karma=1 users is not a good look.

No reason? I can think of 1365 reasons, if Wikipedia is up to date.
The article explains this — Alberta law barred this when a collective bargaining agreement is in place, which was the case.
I love the fallacy in this thinking, complete with supposedly wise sayings (and in fact often false ones) like, "half of all people are below average," which if the person saying this was actually knowledgeable would know a statement as such requires knowledge of the underlying distribution (it will more likely be correct if the word "median" was used but even that could be misleading.) I don't know how one could ignore how much of the result of the "kiosk"-ness of modern tech is not because people are dumb and somehow, their dumbness willing kiosks into existence, but that it was a deliberate, somewhat one sided decision by computer companies because they knew they would make more money this way. Solitaire on windows used to not have ads. People (even the supposedly dumb people) were happy to play solitaire without ads. Now, they cannot easily. It's not because their dumbness made solitaire grow ads, it's because Microsoft realized their position and put ads into solitaire.

This really isn't a mystery, in fact, a clear mind and memory from even 15 years ago when solitaire didn't have ads is enough to demonstrate that this was clearly a move by tech companies chasing more profits and consumers not having many options.
Probably missing the TPM.

Normally these ageeements are time limited to say 1-3 years and then needs to be renegotiated, this is when union requires some certain salary increases over the next agreement period and for that promise to not strike given that the employer hold up the agreement. Should the not come to a agreement during the negotiations, strikes are an option.
No, none of the oligarchs were generals. They were usually entrepreneurs (Russia always had them, openly under Perestroika) who were well connected with one or more of

* The state apparatus

* The gray/black economy (or the criminal underworld)

* Foreign interests

The Soviet military was tightly politically controlled, they were well aware of the dangers of popular generals.
Indeed. It's pretty much guaranteed that anyone bringing up wind turbines and birds is doing so to oppose wind turbines, not because they care about birds.

> A bird has a nest of eggs

However, this is the critical bit to bird populations - loss of habitat and nesting sites, as well as food during that time, and chemicals which can interfere with the success of this process (this is why DDT was banned).
"US regulators have imposed fines worth $37bn on the global banking industry in relation to US-based economic crime since 2012. Of that, UK, French, German and Swiss banks with branches in the US have paid almost 40%."

"The average amount paid by European banks is around $500m per fine — over 10 times the average that US firms pay to US regulators ..."

The EU banks have long been a cookie jar for the US to raid whenever they need a buck or two

Do not underestimate how stupid some birds can be. Corvids are intelligent, pigeons not so much.
The fact that many in-depth reviews contain a long section of "set these settings to these values to get an undistorted look" and the creation of filmmaker's mode belies this being easy to turn off.

Ask HN: Suggestions for small USB-powered device that can run PiHole?
The Raspberry Pi Zero would have been perfect, but the shortage is ongoing it seems.

Are there any other small hardware devices that can run off a USB port? Or easily flashable old smartphones?
No one said that. They are paying more in interest due to not being allowed to pick the best interest rates due to this policy.
Sparks are easy to filter out. There are complex jamming and anti-jamming measures. Civilian drones aren't designed for this so they are easy to shut down, military drones are getting better at this quickly. Before the war in Ukraine people said russian electronic warfare systems and air defence will make drones useless. There were different phases in this war, at first Russians weren't even doing air defense so Bayraktars were destroying airdefense systems (which is crazy :) ). Now that Russians fixed that issue - Bayraktars aren't doing much damage from what we can see, but the artillery guidance drones are still doing OK. I've heard good things about WB Electronics Fly Eye drones for example. They have some capacity to survive in area where the radio communication is jammed.

Also - if you do jamming - it makes you a big target broadcasting "I'm HERE!". There are missiles that are designed to guide themselves towards jamming/radar stations like HARM.

So with combined arms you can:
- launch a decoy
- watch for radar/air defence/jamming stations
- launch HARM missiles to destroy them
- launch drones to guide artillery
- destroy undefended bases with cheap and accurate drone-adjusted artillery fire

Also - military drones are usually controlled differently from the civilians ones. It feels more like playing RTS (click on the target, wait for the drone to get there) instead of a flying simulator (control the engines constantly). So if you're jammed for 5 minutes while going from point A to point B - it doesn't matter.

Also military drones often use satellite communication which is much harder to disrupt than direct radio connection.
Fair Use is a defense, not a right. Just being transformative isn't enough here, that's just one of many different factors that needs to be checked. Furthermore Fair Use includes evaluating the effect an infringement has upon original work's value.

So when your image generator keeps spitting out Gettyimages watermarks, while you are building a service that is in direct competition with Gettyimages for stock images, there is an argument to be made that Fair Use really doesn't apply here. As what you are doing is essentially stealing Gettyimages' work, AI laundering it and selling it back to their previous customers.

With StableDiffusion a Fair Use defense might have an easier time, as the results are released to the public. But it's still not exactly clear cut. If you type in "Mona Lisa", you'll still get something that looks like a copy of the Mona Lisa, not like an original work.

They really did come for the (human) computers, but we got way more jobs out of it than were lost.
This is an amazing list, and really highlights how much we take on trust in this industry: do X for good/better/best outcomes.

Taking a step back I wonder: if there did emerge clear, incontrovertible evidence that doing X led to better outcomes, how many teams would actually adopt it?

And how many would dismiss those findings regardless?

In these modern times I suspect we'd see a far higher rejection rate than 10-years-ago me would've anticipated.
Don't just go for the remarkable, it's mainly for designers with a need for sketches. For storing, searching, etc. of notes there are better alternatives without a subscription model, for example the Supernote.
> I don’t think the general scientific consensus agrees with you that every plant and fungus is sentient

If you find a single scientist claiming the opposite, she/he is probably a genius in some field, but I grant you that is illiterate on basic biology.

The global scientific consensus is that plants and fungi react --very fast-- and accurately to any changes in the environment and take complex and strategic decisions all the time about what they perceive. There are zillions of examples that prove that.

Lets take for example this tiny fish moving its tail fast toward a light spot in the sea bottom and then deciding if it likes the place or just jump and go away. It this a sentient organism? Most people would say Yes.

Well, this is not a fish, in fact is a young Kelp deciding where to settle.

JPEG compression has multiple steps, only one of which is inherently lossy (quantization of DCT coefficients). The last step is Huffman coding of the coefficients, and this data can be losslessly rearranged and recompressed.
That’s a pretty stupid assumption given how many of the jobs that support basic human needs are labor intensive (home construction, farming, medical attention, infrastructure construction for energy and water, etc, etc).

We aren’t even close to automating basic needs. We can certainly automate the manufacturing of some complex individual items though. Seems like a pretty fundamentally flawed assumption of UBI.

We weren't as clear as we should have been here. Apologies for that!

The total number of subscribers you get at the end or total ARR is the key metric as you say, trial to paid is an important metric that goes into that analysis and is a good leading indicator.

You are 100% right that more friction makes people more likely to bail, lower the number of people who start a trial.

Credit cards in particular are an interesting one, because you are effectively asking people to sign up twice if you don't require them for the trial. Once when they create an account and again 7 or 30 days later when the trial ends.

That friction being added for people to continuing to use the product has worse outcomes that getting the friction out of the way up front.
NordVPN Review
I don't think your dismissive attitude towards people does you many favors and I wonder if it's a lack of empathy on your part or frustration from watching people doing the wrong thing over and over, which I also experience a lot.

But if you look at a single being as a person instead of just one sheep, their reasoning is, even if sometimes short-sighted, often sound for their circumstances. There are many pros and cons to decisions and many of the cons concerning surveillance, locked down functionality etc. are often pretty abstract and far away. The problem with many of these technologies is not really what they do today, but rather were it may lead when the become the number one choice and that is much harder for a single person to evaluate or care about.

Especially since choice often is an illusion and you can either accept the drawbacks (which in reality will rarely actually affect yourself) or stand out in the rain with your principles intact. The just as mythical market people like to uphold here on hacker news does not serve differences of sensibilities here. Either get a phone/tv/computer with tracking or ads, or get one which can not play online video. Either get a digital assistant that tracks your every move (though you probably will suffer no drawbacks because of this) or get none at all. Those are bad choices and as much as it aggravates me if people just shrug, I also find it often very hard to tell them of an alternative, because the alternative is more often than not not to play at all. (Or, if someone wants to mention the small subset of open source solutions, paying a hefty premium for years out of date hardware and buggy to non functioning software, of course only if you are even aware they exist!)

I find it really difficult to fault people for that, unless we take the broader view and fault them for the system itself.
The point that might be missed is that it is more fun and more healthy and more convenient to live in a bike culture city. Driving and parking kind of sucks—there is such a wonderful flow in bike transportation.

In other words, it isn’t a personal trade-off for sustainability; rather, it is a win-win.
I will say that the timing of this release and the passing of AB 2273 is suspect, especially given the beating it has received in recent days by some voices in the press (and not just techdirt). NCMEC makes an appearance in the article, and I wouldn't be surprised it was pitched by them who are generally good people and likely sincere, although they are a bit eager in pushing tech companies to employ more surveillance and drop encryption.
Apparently freedom and freedom of speech doesnt extend to your choice of investments.
I think the question is applicable to more than just engineers. Our economy is a paperclip maximizer of sorts - in the sense that its maximization target is far removed from the target of building the best possible world that we can imagine building. And the costs and risks are running away from us. How far removed is it? Seeing how we're "slowly" but surely killing the biosphere I think paperclip maximizer is not a bad analogy.
The logical successor to panorama tools is hugin these days, and yes it is able to perform these transformations very easily. The control point generation can be done automatically now, although I admit it might struggle a little with fisheye images.

Regarding (2.) The gimbals on DJI drones are actually crazy good! As is the flight stabilisation and on-drone EIS. They make sub-millimetre and sub-arcsecondary orientation corrections every couple of milliseconds.

When you put these all together you find that you rarely have to stabilise footage in post.
Cross platform emoji keyboard!
I've fallen all the way down this rabbit hole - from a full-size to a 60% to an ergodox to a CRKBD (36 key split) - and come all the way out again, settling with a chiclet standard qwerty (Apple wireless keyboard).

I think the central hypothesis of using these keyboards is flawed. It seems to all centre around thinking that less movement is better, and that keeping as close to the home row as possible is king, even if that means chording, contorting your hands to reach far keys, and over-relying on your weak pinky fingers.

Human bodies are meant to move. I've found that since I've started dancing over keyboard more with my fingers (a sort of advanced hunt-and-peck using all fingers but the pinky), combined with using a low profile keyboard, my hand pain has disappeared, and I'm at my fastest WPM yet (105). YMMV of course, but it's worth considering if you're peering into the rabbit hole.
None of that is hierarchy as we normally use the term.
I am a very inflammable (inflammed? not sure the terminology) person - allergic to pretty much everything, ezcema, IBS.

I've been to specialist doctors for all these things and they've mostly basically told me to go fuck myself ("You have IBS, can't help you there. Be grateful it's not cancer. Next patient!")

Anyways, the finger prick thing kind of intimidates me but I think this is exactly what I need!
Well, for the annoyances part, Russia did great work to setup future annoyances that they're now exploiting. Rebel republics in Georgia that were exploited in 2008. Nagorno karabach in Armenia is hot since late 80s and probably will stay such in foreseeable future. Then Moldova's Padniestre is ripe and would have been next after Ukraine. Crimea with special status of Sevastopol was perfect setup too.

Here in Lithuania we narrowly avoided a similar issue as well with an attempt to establish an „autonomous republic“ in early 90s.
Not how it works. NATO is invite only.
You have to really spend a lot of time to build the prompt to get something nice and not generic.

I encourage you to check out the subreddit where people share some prompts that you can reuse.

There's usually only a part that describes what is in the image, while half the prompt will be used to describe how does the image look.

Thinking of this one for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wp26lp/i_s... I have reused it successfully.

I must have used the wrong tone but I'm not whining and I agree with you that he saved capitalism from itself.
I stayed at a rural Airbnb that had it in place of a wired connection. It was pretty good for download (100mbps fairly consistently) but the latency jitter and upload speeds made it almost unusable for video calls and it did cut out for a minute or so once or twice over the course of a few days.

It's definitely a nice option but it's hard to rely on. I certainly wouldn't want to work remotely using it as my main connection for any length of time.
You're just restating your definition of what you define capital to be and my point is that some qualified people disagree on that definition. You can call your definition 'woogum', but the fact is that there's no book called Woogum, yet there is probably a book called 'Property' and I'm certain there's a famous one called 'Capital'.

'As against state ownership is an interesting bit to use as part of the definition, because it creates the whole rest of your argument for you (by which you must say that a term like 'state capitalism' is nonsensical, but I disagree). This is fundamentally an issue of definitions, and I'm more than happy to agree to disagree on that, or even to go with your definition, and I'll use capital-prime to denote what I'm talking about.

However, according to Wikpedia (quoting Samuelson) capital is "those durable produced goods that are in turn used as productive inputs for further production" of goods and services" - so while a subclass of property, certainly not 'just property'. This also raises an empirical question, that is, in a given society what are those 'durable produced goods...' as they exist in the macroeconomic sense? Yet others view capital as a social relation. I'm saying there are multiple perspectives on the definition, but that's the nature of multiple interested parties talking about a politically, ideologically, and socially charged subject.
I never said people were dumb. I'm not talking about how people are dumb.

The key word in your paragraph is "easily." People want everything to be easy. They want to be entertained easily. Yesteryear it was TV, today it's twitter. If that's not for you then the things they use are not for you, and it not being easy is a part of that, that's all I'm saying.

I can play solitare without ads right now. And if I can, they can. But they don't. And they're who all this stuff we complain about is built for. It's not built for me, you know how I know? Because I don't use it and it's continuing along just fine. They don't bitch about the difficulty of the things they don't use that I do, things that are made for me and not them, they just use what works for them. If you don't like the things made for them, use different things, that's my only point.
Yeah I found Lambda super easy to use, especially compared to GCP etc. It took me about 5 minutes to get a model up and running. They don't support launching machines with docker images or kubernetes or anything like that though (problem if you want to run a business on it) and recently they are extremely supply constrained (only available machine type 8xA100, no A6000s or V100s).
People don't buy linux licenses but support licenses. If you want to use Red Hat, you can get the free version. Which is exactly what smaller companies do. Big companies tend to want to pay for ass coverage.

IBM, and Oracle are in that business. IBM owns Red Hat, Oracle maintains a derivative for their customers. The primary thing they sell is consulting, support, training, cerfification, etc.

Hashicorp is similar except much smaller. You don't buy their software but their support.
Useless? One can spend days/weeks/months enumerating different concepts of a design due to a roundtrip between “maybe we try <a prompt>” and an image. Now it’s literally minutes and a designer can draw you some ideas right at your office.
