this is, I think, the money shot to my lengthy ramble elsewhere. Digital photography is not a particularly good business to be in, and Kodak had nothing left once you stripped away the film business and the ancillary photopaper/chemical business.

If you're going to do it, you want to be in the pro market, you want to be selling the body, you want an extensive first-party library and, ideally, minimal competition from external third-parties (Sigma, Tamron, etc) selling into your system.

Kodak had none of that, their only DSLR experience was building "digital conversions" of Nikon bodies (using nikon lenses) and they would have been starting from scratch.

Fuji also got really lucky that Japan fucking loves cameras, especially film cameras. Fuji has NEVER given a shit about the world outside japan, other than selling freighter-loads of color negative film (disposable cameras are still extremely popular in the developing world), they give zero shits about marketing their cameras or instant film or anything else outside the Japanese market. Their camera gear (35mm, MF, and LF) has always been top-notch and it just has zero market penetration in the US because they never bothered to market it. It's also routine to have fuji stuff (Astia, FP-100C45, FP-100C, etc) discontinued with like a week of notice to japan, and zero notice to the rest of the world, they have extremely poor organizational communication because they only give a shit about japan. But they never had to, because Japan has had a love affair with photography for 70 years now.

When you look at cameras like the Fuji X-series... those are cameras designed for the Japanese domestic market, cause they still love rangefinders. So is the Pentax Q series... americans don't get it, shitty p+s sensor, why would I buy it? you're not meant to, it's a cute little camera for japanese housewives, they just let us buy it too... sometimes.

It seems odd to define AGI in a way that blind and deaf humans don't qualify for. This standard is certainly a standard for some kind of utility, but it seems very unrelated to the thing normally referred to as AGI.

A lot of EV's are already at 500km range. Within this decade we should see 1000km range. Add some charging infrastructure and we are gold. Just look at the chargers Tesla has built in California (and there is still a lot of potential to improve).

> When I started fresh I had a 500 credit score (which sounds like what you have).

No, when your credit history is non-existent, the free credit score sites will happily tell you it’s much higher than that (mine was reported as 720-740 when I lacked history), but you’ll still get auto-rejected for everything.

Interestingly, I emailed Arnold Kling, an economist writing about the subprime market at the time (2007) and he refused to believe that was happening, and insisted I must have some horrible default on my record. (I didn’t.)

A 500 credit score from a default is much better than having no history.

(I’m not the OP but was in a similar situation.)
Haha damn i miss 4chan.
Great idea.

As you say though, there are existing groups. EFF[0] comes to mind. They advocated for net neutrality back in the day.

>And I always think of that picture as an image of the 21st century’s first immunocapitalist.

I make the opposite argument - while huge numbers of ordinary citizens were kept under effective house arrest (or other restrictions), the wealthy and powerful became ever more wealthy and powerful while no-one was looking. We were turned into obedient, house-bound consumers of social media, low-grade TV, and mail-order rubbish.
Personally I grew up with my friends in multiple continents, and messenger apps like MSN etc kept us connected.

Every job I’ve had has similarly been a mix of locations with teams over multiple sites.

Working from home during the pandemic has been a natural extension of that.

You can build deep and meaningful connections with people online. You just need to approach it differently.

Look at entire gaming communities that do so despite never meeting.

Working apart from each other also doesn’t mean you can’t meet up outside work unless you truly live far apart. You can still socialize, but this time on your own terms instead of during work.

Anyway personally I haven’t felt a deterioration in connections. In fact I talk more often to my colleagues, and more importantly, to a wider range of colleagues than before.

I do however think different people have different aptitudes for online socialization. I do notice some people who were not terribly social at work, suddenly stop talking to anyone they don’t work with directly. And many people have issues not having face to face communication for context clues.

However I think this is totally subjective to the individuals, and having worked at multiple multi site companies, I think remote work can be much better for wide team building.

You can do away with the smaller cliques to some degree, disseminate information in easier to find locations and reduce tribal knowledge. People in other locations can be seen as equals to the ones local.

In fact when I worked in the office and supervised teams across multiple locations, I’d treat everyone on the team as remote when it came to most communication. Team chat rooms were encouraged instead of people coming by my desk unless needed. What I saw was that more people were aware of everything going on and were able to do better work as a result. I also found people who were too shy to ask questions were suddenly more able to ask them and have them answered because they saw the more confident individuals also asking things in the open chats rather than in person.

There are definite downsides to it all, but I find it really scales better in the long term

As a kid I took apart those old disposable cameras. That's when I had my first, but far from my last, bittersweet kiss with mother electricity. For better or worse, I soon convinced everyone (kids and adults alike) to commit wholeheartedly the folly of shaking hands with a charged flash capacitor. Thus they all became well acquainted with the finicky mistress of electrical discharge.

Oh right, that machine was supposed to produce photos. You mean I wasn't supposed to open that? Well jokes on you. 7 year olds can't read won't read and won't listen either. Oops.
> Email is dead, RSS is stone cold dead and buried under 100 ft of permafrost.

This claim is as bold, as it is baseless, as evidenced by dozens of emails I send and receive each day, and by the fact that I stumbled upon this thread via RSS, which I use daily to receive almost all my subscriptions.
> Well… Many Rust enthusiasts

I really hope this sort of strawmanning doesn’t become common here. In response to any reasonable discussion about Rust the response seems to be “you’re fine, but the other enthusiasts are so unreasonable”. Where are these enthusiasts? Why bring them up when you can just respond to the person you’re talking to?

It’s super annoying because even on irrelevant threads such haters will call people’s attention to these imagined enthusiasts. Like this comment from 6 days ago calling people jihadis if they like a language - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32640154. Note that the jihadis didn’t exist on the thread, only in the commenter’s mind.
I don't see how that is in any way related?

I get the feeling that when Felix Friedrich is no longer active at ETHZ, AOS won't be having much further work.

I mentioned it is hard to get, because keeping up with it requires having some background on AOS history, and even then newer ISO might only work on a VM, depending on which hardware one owns.

I love projects like this. Very cool, but only possible by completely disregarding the fact that this is illegal under copyright law. As it is, I expect this person has already painted a sizable target on their back and there's a very good change they'll be sent a take-down notice once Nintendo becomes aware.

I think projects like this should be allowed to exist and that eventually people will grow very tired of how restrictive copyright law is and demand changes, but until that happens, I hope these types of projects continue to be created and spread in violation of the law for as long as possible until the lawyers finally come after them.

It's better that we see what kinds of things we could have without oppressive copyright laws and be upset when they are taken from us than for people to refuse to start cool projects just because they are doomed to be shutdown.

Tell me you didn't read before posting without telling me you didn't read before posting.
that being said, I'm wondering why companies don't double down on the BMW i3 model vs. the tesla X/Y/big SUV model? The i3 is 3000 lbs or less, and when it was discontinued, it had a bigger battery pack, and plenty of range and room for a family. In my mind, it's ideal...and it wasn't like there wasn't a market for it, as demand apparently was growing right up until end of production

I otherwise agree that American cities and suburbs need a healthy injection of bicycling adoption, infrastructure and design.

> But how much time do you spend dealing with that? Is it worth it?

I don't track the time but it's within a rounding error of no time at all.

I set up SPF for my domains when it became popular many years ago, took maybe a few hours.

Some years later I set up DKIM, that took a bit more time over a weekend. Some time later I set up DMARC as well.

I haven't had to make any changes since then, it's been at least four years. No problems of any kind. It's absolutely worth it to own my own email, no question.
If anything, it would be shorthand for "Summe", I suppose.
> Wikipedia has a whole "harassment" section in their page on them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms

The sources for that section are news articles about the alleged victims saying so. To me that's not credible evidence.

> KiwiFarms is, in a real sense, "on your side", so you're not willing to condemnn their clearly bad acts. And that's upsetting.

Well, I did also say that I do not find their use of free speech palatable, but that I do think it should be allowed. I don't get the general dislike that they have for people like DSP, which you could handily ignore without any real consequences. In those famous words: "the internet's not real, just close your eyes lmao".

Now, if they do indeed do targetted harrassment then it's different. However, from the look-see I gave a few of the threads, which I wouldn't recommend if you value your soul, it's all discussion and information gathering. None of it was calls for harrassment or threats, veiled or otherwise.
Use Microsoft or Google. Use your own domain. Know how to spin up the other quickly. Spend your time on things that matter.
But do you have the equipment to calibrate the resolver of this new motor by connecting to the inverter and writing the new resolver offset into its EEPROM? I thought not.

If you swapped out the motor on your EV like you suggested, it would start spewing out illegal levels of EM interference, screaming like a pig and randomly chopping out at high speed.

This is why self right to repair is a complex issue. Even for EVs which seem simple but are not. Every single component is so tightly coupled.
OVH MX plan? The so-called "pro" mail is just outsourced to Microsoft though. 50 mailboxes is an odd spot, too much for personal providers and too little for others.
Yeah any definition of "intelligence" that precludes Steven Hawkings (who most certainly was not "capable of taking (almost) any human job").

This is an interesting definition of "something", but it isn't human intelligence.

> Thought [sic] it occurs to me that it would be pointless. Nobody doubts we could make a model and write MPC to control it. We could probably also build a simulation environment, do RL in the simulation, then transfer it over. But what happens when we encounter a bump? Gravel? Snow? A human trying to knock it over? A banana peel? Did you put all those things in your simulator?

> The only way forward is on device learning.

This clearly is faulty logic. None of that forces on-device learning at all.
Hell, can you point to any company at all that can come out of the gate with a chip design competitive with the best design of NVIDIA, a company that makes nothing but chips?

Google.
The only thing that ART has left from Dalvik are the DEX bytecodes, but from complexity level it is yet another JVM implementation (whithout being technically one).
“realistic daydream”? Did you go thesaurus-fishing for “practical idea”?
If some group wants to get serious about self-hosting email, first they need to define a new subset of the email standard for them all to conform to. Unencrypted C2S, unauthenticated senders, and outdated protocols like POP shouldn't be included. Make it simple to self-host.

XMPP has similar flaws except even worse. Too many different feature sets floating around, too many weird/insecure defaults. It also lost the federation game.

Think of HTTPS, a success story of self-hosting. The weird cases are just out of the question. You basically can't use encryption without signing, or old versions of TLS.
> So - clearly other companies are able to get it right.

These companies are part of the oligopoly.

One can become part of said oligopoly, but it requires an outsized effort for an individual to keep the service running just for himself.

Yeah, except tiny sites like The Guardian, NY Times, CNN, BBC News, Stackoverflow and pretty much every German major news paper...
Managers like ourselves make the mistake thinking our close relationships with our folks means the relationship between our folks and others are equally close. That is because as managers people publish their info to us and are incentivized to do so where as two peers are not. And in large orgs, how do you gain visibility as an IC or build good professional connections or connect multiple young engineers together, the introvert to other introverts? To replace in office collisions at lunch or at the vending machine is equivalent to finding and randomly zooming folks in chat groups which is hard since calendars are hard to get on. Lots of friction.

But I speak of large orgs here, not 100 person startup where some of these things can be more easily managed… but still I know these companies do a lot of offsites to make up for the lack of connection in office.

Using large mail provider is not necessary evil in my book. It is just so much more convenient than self hosting.
Today, with ready-made containers and stuff we start having a fighting change, but the moat is possibly too big to fight with email falling out of favor
I didn’t claim that it was a binary choice. I just claimed that non socialized people do exist and that they could benefit from alcohol.
The solution is relatively simple, look for a job that doesn't do location based pay. Out of 8 offers I recieved earlier this year, three had location based pay, and I politely declined all three (ok, maybe with a little contempt in my voice) and told them that policy was the reason why. Your not here to change their policies, just move on and tell them why you did (after the new gig is secure.)
But CK isn’t predicting whether you will default, but whether another lender will regard you as a good customer (where default risk is just one factor).

That’s a different problem than simply evaluating credit risk, and is much less researched — so not the same as the highly guarded credit models.
Its a good life anyway hahaha damn
No, not really a huge surprise! :-)

But interesting that a professional expressed the opinion so readily.

TBH I don’t really tend to hear much about mainstream modern cars in my day to day life!

Government department accepts mail from the providers that basically everyone uses, details at 0300.
I've worked for fully remote companies and fully in office companies and large companies and tiny ones. I've been an IC mostly but also a manger and lead. My observation is: it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Decisions are made, people do the work. There has been no noticeable quality difference except in the case of large+office where the strong social element combined with the faceless corp equalled a lot more pissing about having fun rather than working.

The real insight a lot of people have had is that they can work just fine with their remote colleagues without a manger needing to watch them. I'm sure most managers such as yourself aren't like that, but it only takes one in an org to really make people unhappy.
Well, for starters(not that proficient with PyCharm as I only use it for less-professional use), I have tried for a few days to get PyCharm to use the miniconda environment on Windows, to no avail. It at least works on the command line so I get to play around with it. I'm going to spend more time tomorrow trying alternatives.
Small sample size, but I'm typing this on a Fold4 on a Verizon UW cell, inside a hotel in California. Admittedly I could probably hit the tower with a free hotel breakfast muffin thrown hard out the window.

Another data point: I speed tested at more than 3GBits down on UWB service on the street in Chicago.
> I pulled up google maps and what is a 10 minute car prediction (2.8 mi) is also a 54 minute walking estimation (2.7 mi)

That does change the numbers; 10 minutes by car being 54 minutes on foot sounds a lot more realistic than 5 minutes by car being 2 hours on foot.

So you would support laws that make fascist content and cyberbullying illegal, in order to take the burden of enforcement away from private corporations and into the hands of the government? Or are you advancing this rule of law angle in bad faith because your real motivation is to keep a nexus of cyberbullying and hate like KF up and running?
One major change since initial release was the introduction of a more permissive borrow checker. The newer one accepts many more valid programs thanks to the introduction of non-lexical lifetimes.
Isn’t port 25 used for unencrypted traffic as opposed to port 465? I’m pretty sure I had a working mail server back in 2012 behind an ISP that blocked port 25.
Hah yeah, I can relate when I was IC.

If you have enough leverage to know you don’t need relationships to be safe, to get promoted, to do what you want to do, more power to ya!

I speak of large orgs where not all people and teams can be like that. And unfortunately, large orgs cannot say “team a you stay wfh team b you come in since you need to gel with team c in office” due to fairness. So a one size fits all will be applied like Apple is doing.

Hi, I'm Kresimir at DocOne. Our API infrastructure enables any health-tech startup or an established company to quickly build an intelligent search for different types of end users, including patients, physicians and life science companies.

A user can run ultra-specific searches for physicians, specialties, medical conditions, procedures, therapies, articles and clinical trials. We're adding new data types such as healthcare/life science organizations, conferences, social media and industry relations/payment data.

The basis of the platform is a comprehensive, continually updated knowledge graph, built with the help of data science, especially NLP.

We'd love your feedback and we'll be here to answer any questions.
Lot of strawmans here.
It's my understanding that v1.5 will be coming out in a few weeks; I recall that hands and faces will be better-trained in the new model. I'm about to try what you did (install requirements manually) to get it to run in PyCharm on Windows. Neither miniconda nor anaconda really worked for me after spending time trying to get it to pick up the dependencies.
It very much does. Ada has been designed for safety and concurrency, and for environments where failure is something to avoid at all costs.

However, it still has issues of its own; no language is perfect and the best-suited for all use cases.
