Have we seen similar behavior in the usage of older GPT-3 based tools, for example in copywriting or using Copilot?

How's the story there?
Having seen some of the pictures of AI art (I don't know if they use the same or different programs or models), my opinion is that the pictures are not good enough, although sometimes they are almost good enough. (I think there might still be a use for it, despite this. Some other comments mention some possible ideas, although there may also be others.)
It's super cheap for me, I live in India - roughly $6. But even in the US, it seems to be cheaper than with Be Golden.

Their value proposition seems to be the statistical insights - which they hope to have once enough people sign up (but that's also an untested claim really). Personally I think testing helps, at the very least you may get motivated enough to do something about it.
The traffic jams are during the peak guided climbing season in May. AFAIK they've made changes to the number of permits given per year now so there should be less traffic on the mountain.
One of the many things that I loved about Lisbon was that art was hilariously pervasive. It felt like every vertical space was filled with beautiful and original art. The whole city was a gallery. It would be wonderful to see that in more places.

Thanks that's good to know.

I would have upgraded to Pro+ if I had confidence it would speed up the process, but the promises of what you get (beyond "runs in background") were/are so vague I couldn't tell if it was worth it. I was only using 50-80 hours a month and it sounded like a plan aimed at more usage.

Google was/is leaving money on the table with the old scheme.
Good on you!

One reason I chose VS is because I'm a small dev shop, often working alone, and it's one of the only good IDEs around with plugins for syncing via sftp. In many cases that saves me having to use a separate client or configure cloud rollouts for minor code changes. Small devs are the target audience for vscode and also the most likely to be negatively impacted if the environment fractures.
Cynical answer, just pay the journalist who writes the list. It really is that simple.

But your goal really makes no sense at all, and it would seem like you're looking for external validation. Go see a professional therapist.
Magazine editors don't go out and pound the pavement to discover unknown people for their top lists. They make up the list by reading their own magazine, and other magazines, and reading pitches from PR people they know.

So: hire a PR agency to get several positive stories about you in Forbes and other magazines. (This is assuming there's something interesting about you to write. If not, it's a whole different problem.)

After a couple years of this, have the PR agency pitch Forbes on what a great 30/30 candidate you'd make. Cost might be $10k/mo for 2-3 years, though you can probably do it for less if you have your own source of media exposure, like a popular podcast or something.
There is a great mac app called https://imageoptim.com/mac

It tries
- zopfli
- PNGOUT
- OxiPNG
- AdvPNG
- PNGCrush
- JpegOptim
- Jpegtran
- Guetzli
- Gifsicle
- SVGO
- svgcleaner

And picks the best result. You can tweak a few other settings too.

It is a great tool which allows you drop a folder of mixed images, and just wait for the result.

Does eMacs have a good remote editing and debugging system comparable to VSC? I’ve tried pycharm and nvim, but both were clunky and did not work as well if at all for remote debugging and editing with navigation, autocomplete, linting etc. VSC does all that with very little manual configuration required.
What watermark?

The model is open source and free for people to make their own modifications. I don't see how any watermark can survive in those conditions.
You are proving my point. Strength and leadership are survival qualities to wild herd animals. The hierarchy allows those qualities to rise to the top. It is the herd that collectively decides to give space to the individual with those qualities. The "alpha horse" does not "dominate" the herd; no single individual can match the strength of an entire herd. The herd gives permission for the qualities to reach top of hierarchy, because those are the qualities the herd wants to select for.

If the animals making up the hierarchy disagrees with the individual on top, they remove it from the hierarchy. Easily. That's the whole point of herds, packs, and hierarchies. Together stronger than alone.

Yeah, it sucks what's happening with browser extensions and configurability in general. Opera 3, released in 1997, allows the user to override author styles with their own. Same for IE6, released in 2001.

But that's a different aspect of the platform -- the browser itself.

At least for the time being, on the Web side, there are so many different other browsers, that Chrome cannot break step with all of them at once.

And so if I write basic HTML and test it thoroughly, I can accommodate almost any user on any device, browser, and configuration. And this makes me very happy.
You could just resize your browser window to a common size.

If the real goal is to avoid being tracked over long periods of time, then resizing to a slightly different size every day might work better.
What does the guys stack look like?
Ah the old "there's only two sovereign nations, USA and Russia, and everyone in between are just puppets" line of thought that seems so entrenched in the Russian Federation, presumably because the Soviets could not conceive the common people of any country wanting anything without being agitated through propaganda (after all, when you have near total control over the media, independent thought does seem like an aberration).

What people who complain about NATO expansion seem to forget is that the countries being "expanded into" still have living memory, within one generation, of Soviet tanks rolling through their streets to put down any attempts at independence in governance. There was Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland... the US didn't coërce these countries to join NATO, these countries were practically begging to be included.

Then the Russian Federation made the demand at the beginning of 2022 for NATO to remove its troops and equipment from Central/Eastern Europe as if they ruled over those nations. The gall to think to dictate the international military security policy for a population totalling twice the size of their own is astounding.

It's clear you have a misunderstanding of infinity.

In a show, there are a certain number of frames. In one frame, there are a certain number of pixels. Each pixel can be one of some number of colors. An infinite TV would be able to show every combination of every color of pixels, follow by every combination of frames, simultaneously and forever. All those shows are in there. Not only that, but all of this is also countably infinite.

The K2 story is on YouTube. It’s pretty interesting.
If you go back and look at the past 5-10 year's of Forbes 30 under 30, you might discover what those prior people did to get on the list. You might also have to consider that the prevailing global financial conditions are always changing and what worked well in the past might not be as effective in the future.

One man's immaturity is another man's "having a spine to stand up for oneself". Spite is awesome, I wish people had more spite in them, without spite you're just a chicken following whatever the nest is crying about, which is the sorry state of most of humanity most of the time.

Your delusions of a monolithic 'younger generation' on the 'right side of history' inevitably triumphing are pathetic. Not how history works, not how reality is; Prime counterexample include me for a start.
No, you embed all images with CLIP and use an approximate nearest neighbour library (like faiss) to get the most similar ones to the query in logarithmic time. Embedding will also be invariant to small variations.

You can try this on images.yandex.com - they do similarity search with embeddings. Upload any photo and you'll get millions of similar photos, unlike Google that has only exact duplicate search. It's diverse like Pinterest but without the logins.

> You can't force democracy on people.

The Marshall Plan was economic recovery assistance, and it went to allies as well occupied territories.

"The largest recipient of Marshall Plan money was the United Kingdom (receiving about 26% of the total). The next highest contributions went to France (18%)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan

Russia had already implemented its own elections after the fall of the USSR. The US didn't need to force that. The point is just to support Russia in its transition, not to force it.

You speak of the Weimar Republic. The lack of a "Marshall Plan" after WWI and the harsh conditions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles were a big factor in the failure of the Weimar Republic.

> At least significant part of Russians seems to be ok with having no free speech, no real elections and no independent judiciary or other democratic institutions

Because it sucks. It has all the quirks and a whole lot of mess. That's terraform. Terraform Enterprise and Cloud must have been developed as a fuck you to enterprises, because it absolutely sucks.

I work with them daily, and have done so for 4 years now. It still sucks.

Unfortunately it's (Terraform, not TFE/TFC) the best in its class, and quite frankly I'm not smart to solve its issues.
I think this can be seen a bit like the invention of an "index fund" for art. Active investors are still needed to generate the market signals that an ETF can aggregate, but for the majority of people an ETF is preferable to the cost of hiring an active investor yourself. And similarly SD needs artists to generate the signal that it aggregates, but for the majority of people it might be (or might soon be) preferable to use SD to get a "generic"/"average" result instead of hiring an artist yourself.

I remember when the FSF had dire warnings about using the Sun JDK. I ignored it and kept on using Java, and nothing bad happened. The JDK was eventually GPLed, and by then I decided I didn't like Java anymore and moved on to better languages anyway.

I feel kind of the same about VS Code. Binary product? Telemetry? Centralized marketplace? Some plugins are closed source? Eh, whatever. That stuff doesn't get in my way and I suspect that nothing particularly bad will happen to developers. Someday a better IDE will become popular, perhaps built on some of the code and standards spun off by VS Code (like the language server protocol), perhaps not. This editor will do until that happens.

The politics isn't as good as I'd like, but often the politics never actually materializes as a bad user experience, despite the complaints.
Can you imagine having to go to the bathroom in the middle of that horde
Sure I agree with all of that. However the culture war you see nowadays is the result of etiquette becoming part of compelled behavior enforced by rules and law. Not just that it is redefining our interpretation of reality and science.

It's not just about respect anymore; it's about truth.

https://www.newyorker.com/sports/sporting-scene/how-one-swim...

Because we didn't want to her feelings Mia, a biological male with a female gender was allowed to compete in women sports. She's dominating that sport now; and it's starting to display a comical mismatch between the old reality and a new reality.

The argument is more complex then simply truth and etiquette. Because proponents of etiquette are literally redefining objective truth. So when you talk to both sides, they literally think they're side is the objective truth. Truth is as fluid as gender and it's literally hard to know which one is real.

There is as much validity to say most humans are male or female as there is to say that gender is a gradient, a small minority of people are neither male or female. These are just arbitrary categorizations that are being redefined.
It's rapidly getting good enough for things like stock images for blog posts. Where you just need an image vaguely related and don't want to pay for an actual stock image.

pointing out problems that places have after they've experienced 45-70 years of domination by Soviet style authoritarian regimes (and before which they were neither democracies on a shining hill) is not at all making a case that the post soviet transitions were flawed, just that they were not miraculous.

to be convincing you have to point out things that the transitioners could have done that would have worked better, but even the best experts in the world did not know any better than what was tried, so that's going to be a tough case to make.
I understand Visual Studio Code as a sophisticated Language Server Protocol frontend, and it generally does a good job at that. The IDE of the future will have Jetbrains grade UX with a heavy emphasis on LSP interfaces that "just work", rather than requiring some investigation about what setting needs to be set to which value and why basic stuff breaks mysteriously.
...Microsoft in true Microsoft form of moving ever so slowly and doing it over a generation of people as not to spook them has been transitioning their customer base into consumers of services offered by Microsoft.

A company like Microsoft is changing the software industry by moving developers to a SaaS model, and articles like this suggest this is a terrible thing because we're losing control over what we do, they're is mining all our data, and locking us in to their platform.

There's an amusing irony that articles like this get posted to HN. This is the exact strategy that we would celebrate any HN startup for cleverly 'disrupting' any other industry - when someone launches a startup to make farming or shipping more efficient through killing off old paper based work flows, improving SaaS tools, giving customers insights through ML over millions of pieces of data, and also quietly sells those insights to boost revenue and locking customers in by making it hard to export their data, HN loves that. Do it in the software industry though and the comments are a lot less positive.
I'd love to see (or do myself if I ever get the chance) some research into some of the hot-button software architecture, tooling and project structure topics that come up a lot here and in every team I've worked on. They always boil down to a religious debate with strong opinions on all sides, and everyone wanting to copy something they've read about how their favourite MAGMA company does it, but it feels like some of these should have empirically right answers:

1. Under what circumstances is a monorepo beneficial as opposed to multiple smaller repos and what are the determining factors? (Team size, codebase size, tooling, software coupling, project velocity, .... etc?)

2. Under what circumstances are different system architectures better, and what are all the different factors that influence this? (eg microservices, 3-tier, one big blob of code, ... etc)

3. Can we empirically measure or determine whether a language, framework, library etc is the right choice for a given situation and how might we do that? Is it possible to formulate rules to inform good decisions here or is it always going to be a matter of judgement?

4. How do different styles of working (Pair programming, scrum, TDD etc) affect team productivity, code quality, developer happiness, project velocity etc? What are the factors that make one preferable over another in a given situation?

5. What's the right team size for a given project?

6. What's the best way to discover and communicate software requirements?

...

I could go on. But in other engineering disciplines, a lot of the analogous things are solved problems rather than being topics for heated debate.
That’s the beauty of UBI! No one has to be generous. It’s paid through taxes so everyone pays based on their means and ability.

What about finding meaning outside of work? Your career doesn't have to be the (only) focus of your life.

Maybe try something new once or twice a month. Check out your local meetups, visit museums or art galleries, read books of a different genre, go to random cultural events in your local newspaper, invite some friends to karaoke, plan a long backpacking trip, talk to new people, take classes at your local community college... keep exploring until you find yourself either passionate about something new, or maybe you've met more interesting people who provide fulfilling relationships, or at the very least you find yourself too distracted and busy with random shit to be depressed.

Also, on a personal/emotional level... maybe it would help to learn peaceful acceptance in addition to the ceaseless pursuit of hedonism? You can burn out on excitement and adrenaline too, and learning to be ok in the in-between moments, when things aren't great or terrible but ust OK, is a useful life skill in and of itself. "This too will pass" -- both the good and the bad.

I mean, really, let's face it, tech bros aren't generally known for being happy, well-balanced people... and if you fit that stereotype, well, it's in your power to branch out and start to absorb other personas into your life. It's not really "faking it until you make it", IMO, more like "trying new roles on until you find one, or a combination of several, that fit you".

Oh! Also, maybe exercise more and eat better if you're not already doing that... a LOT of our mood is just controlled by microbes and hormones and shit, not necessarily anything going on in the conscious mind that you can actively re-imagine.

Branch out, find other good things in life, then when you feel ready, you can always circle back and adjust your work to better suit your newfound interests and networks, maybe doing software for some other vertical you find more interesting than pure tech or moving to a different career altogether.

As a SRE you have waaaaaay more ability to tweak your life than most people (because you can financially afford to explore things), might as well make use of it! Especially while you're childless and (presumably, it's not clear from your post) "relatively" single.

If so, your 30s could be a golden age for you... you have (hopefully) the maturity to be able to take big risks for yourself, the financial wherewithal to chase at least some of your dreams, relative good health, and unburdened by Big Life Things like kids, marriages, divorces, mortgages, retirement, whatever. Just take it easy and keep looking instead of doubling-down on a dead-end tech job.

At the end of your life you won't care how many lines of code you've written or how big your bank account got. Nobody will. Stop chasing empty dreams of "success" defined by a ruthless ultracapitalist society and find your own meaning!

.NET is 20 years old now, according to Wikipedia. I've never seen the point of it, and have avoided using it in anything I've cared about. If people are foolish enough to use it, I'm not going to be able to stop them.

I've tried Visual Studio (to compile my forth project with), but it just doesn't work for me anyway. There's too big an impedance mismatch.

I'll stick with NotePad++ for non-pascal stuff, and Lazarus for the rest.
Yes, but this works because Israel has access to vastly more money than Hamas does. So they can withstand a 10^X cost discrepancy. It would not work between two parties who are close to evenly matched financially.
