The key element missing from the generated images is understanding of form. In recognizing objects we're generally relying on shape first(so, strong outlines and silhouettes, blobs of color, and so forth). But only afterwards does our brain start to see forms in perspective.

When learning drawing I gradually got a sense of what is really going on is that I'm gaining a more conscious command of different shapes, just like when I learned to write letters; but instead of abstract marks, I'm learning the shape of hands, arms, etc - and from various perspectives. And so if I study a lot of the same shapes in a topic like anatomy or wildlife, I can replicate them from memory with fairly accurate proportions.

The difference between me and the AI, in its current form, is that the AI continues along the path of being an extremely smart shape recognizer and reproducer(as it should be, given some the first applications of the tech were to text recognition). So it can output a lot of details I can't(without lots of reference) and blend in stylistic ideas I'm unaware of. But I, while having a much more limited visual library, can mix in more details of the perspective, how anatomy and clothing work, and other kinds of logic. I can push the shapes to convey specific action and expression, design lighting situations and so on.

AI's ability to do it all in one step gives it a result that is very "savant", because it doesn't know what is and isn't a coherent image, but it has total mastery at making the shapes and applying rendering. Some of the things I've seen it do to prompts are wildly creative in interpretation as a result. It's a good tool.
Heaven forbid.
It's very easy to catch lawsuits. I'm not sure how Jordan plans to sustain this lifestyle, given he hasn't quite finished disentangling himself from his last case with disgraced premier John Barilaro. He's doing a decent job at finding ugly stories to raise awareness on, however this has to be taxing on the psyche. Most Australian media, comparatively, chooses to go light on facts to avoid this sort of business.
When I first started traveling for work with my MacBook Pro in 2021 and my portable USB C monitor, I would often have the wrong USB C cable and I didn’t know the vagaries of USB C.

I was at one of my company’s sites (I work remotely) and even the IT department didn’t have a “standard” USB C cable that could do 100W power and video over USB.

I ended up ordering one from Amazon - and having it shipped to my company’s office. I work at Amazon (AWS).
> the vast majority of the shared ecosystem depends on shared libraries/dynamically linked libraries for the standard.

The more I use C and C++, the more I am convinced that shared libraries are the biggest technical debt for the whole ecosystem. It is these shared libraries that are the driving impetus behind “ABI stability”. It is because of shared libraries that we can’t have nice performance or safety enhancing features.

Right now the C and C++ ecosystem is groaning under the weight of shared library technical debt.

They're arguing against selling albums in high bitdepth + sample rate, that's not the same as arguing for lossy formats.

Manufacturing (and installation, operations, and maintenance) efficiencies are more likely governed by Wright's Law, a/k/a Experience Curve Effects, which holds that there is about a 20% efficiency gain with each doubling of output.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_curve_effects>

This was first observed during WWII in aircraft and ship manufacture.

Note that this tends to be gains toward some ultimate efficiency limit, so remains bounded.

There's a bizarre adversarial quality in your engagement here. If I implied I didn't know I was speaking anecdata I apologize. However, since the searches in google to find papers which discuss the role of mathematics in computer science education are trivial as are the ones which argue language skills are more important, I really don't see why I have to do this.

If you want to disrate my responses because you feel they lack quality, go ahead. I see little signs you actually want to consider this possibility, where I am open to the question "which is more important, language or maths"

I played casually many years ago. I remember reading about that strategy to find the fish¹ and have no doubt it was reasonably widespread, because I then opened the cash tables² and noticed that despite a number of them having vacant seats, a couple had a waitlist. Sure enough, opening the game you could see that most players were trying to take from the same person.

That lead to an interesting counter-strategy: because most players were aiming to sucker a single target they heavily avoided playing anyone else, which meant that by playing a little more aggressively one could steal³ from them as well.

Can’t say how viable that would be on the long run, as I only tried it briefly. My goal was to have fun playing and that definitely wasn’t. I stopped playing altogether shortly after.

I'm a hoarder of tiny ambitions, so my todolists are chronically growing, rather than shrinking.

The deterrence for adding new items looks like this:

n = # of currently listed items (items not done or struck as obsolete who aren't 'snoozed' for future listing)

if n > 5 {
user must copy a nag text of fibbonacci(n - 5) random characters before the new item is created
}

It doesn't prevent you from taking too much on, but it's a really explicit incentive to push lower urgency items out (snooze them) so that you generally are presented with a list that more or less fits in your short term memory.
This.

There are numerous heating/cooling applications in which excess capacity at peak capabilities is banked for later use. Thermal energy storage for thermal energy applications is exceedingly efficient as there are no further conversion losses.

Solar power refrigeration which chills an ice block to an arbitrarily low temperature then relies on that to maintain the chilled-compartment temperature during periods of low or no power would be the obvious option.
> Say I start two identical workers that have the same schedules set up.

Workers don't run the scheduled tasks, only a scheduler does. You should start only one scheduler but as many workers as you want. wakaq-scheduler and wakaq-worker are the command line interfaces.

> Is there any communication between workers?

Someone I know is working on a solution for this as an open source project. I don't have the link off hand but I'll send him your comment.
Is this true for validating full nodes on a proof of work chain?

>> The non-mining nodes will not be able to resist a re-org by antagonistic miners.

A full node can pick whatever block it wants as the tip of the chain. Many nodes choosing the same would be a UASF. That would resist, by ignoring, the antagonistic miners.
Perfect example: English Wikipedia has bikeshedded lead images of this kind ad nauseum over these two decades, with many times more text written in discussions of this than in the articles themselves. The current image for [[woman]] was chosen last year in an RfC that ended with a rare counted vote.¹ This prompted a re-debate of [[human]]² that trailed off in dissastisfaction toward the only established guideline in the area, which forbids montages. That, in turn was last affirmed by a series of debates in 2015/2016.³

The title is a bit misleading.

It's not wrong. Someone used a leaked API key to do card testing. That explains why someone might be interested in the API key. However, the bigger part of the story is that Laravel or whatever framework they used has a dangerous footgun that can easily lead to exposing secrets.

This.

Similar to measures of mean national income (GDP/population) or other such aggregate measures.

Note that direct consumption is often a small fraction of total consumption, and household measures of consumption of one form of energy (e.g., MWh of annual electrical use) neglect not only the shares of commercial, industrial, and governmental usage, but of other forms such as natural gas and vehicle fuel.
Judging by recent generations of McMansions in my part of the U.S., that technology was "perfected" some time ago.

Not exactly (at least I hope not). I think they're defending the rights of cesspools to still have freedom of speech.

(Except it's not government restrictions, so it's not exactly First-Amendment-style free speech.)

(And, in defending KF's right to be on the internet, they're defending other businesses being required to carry them, which is... free speech for KF but not for people like Cloudflare.)

No. Talk about adding vomit to faeces.

> You can completely isolate it from anything else. Lock it into a sandbox. Use SELinux to ensure it doesn't do anything weird.

You don't need systemd for that, as it stands not having a running process means no need for a sandbox. You created the problem you are solving. Even if it needed a standalone process you don't need systemd to sandbox it.

> Much more secure -- you have a very narrow communication channel, and no exposure to stuff like LD_PRELOAD.

Fix the root cause: LD_PRELOAD.

> You avoid the mess of the above for the applications using it. Apps using PAM execute PAM code, and that means that anything that uses PAM needs to be able to do any arbitrary thing a PAM module might want to do.

Ok you lost me here. Any reason a new PAM can't have solid api boundaries and capability restrictions?

> Applications using PAM no longer need to have root access. Your screensaver/lock screen can be completely unprivileged.

You should always drop privilege after getting whatever handle you need anyways but this is would be great but my wish would be to have specific linux capabilities to solve this if they don't exist already.

> If it can be an UNIX socket, it probably can also be a TCP socket, so you can have it run remotely if such a thing makes sense.

TCP adds a magnitude of complexity, people leaving PAM exposed to the internet would be a thing. You expanded PAM to also solve SSH (which uses PAM now lol)?

> The protocol can be inspected

Uhhh... gdb?

> Good opportunity for updating the API and fixing anything lacking.

And breaking all sorts of compatibility, adding all kinds of complexity and forcing many users to forcibly pull out all the hair on their heads in frustration.

"I can't login because of newpam, let me tcpdump it, decrypt it and see if it is iptables, routing issues, dns issues, app config; nope all of that is good it must me the remote end"

Not very fun on top of already complex AAA policy definitions you will need.

modern programming languages should have enough concurrency primitives for building such systems. the python situation is out of control. we have bazillion of libraries and packages doing the same thing. with slight variations.

this very effort is deserves praising. but i have seen it happen many times before. dramatiq, huey, rq, schedule, etc. all one needs to do is wait for those pesky corner cases to start piling up. and maintainers being unable to solve them. or not solve them fast enough.

we need primitives, building blocks, to build such systems when needed. we need more control.

i like what golang does.
This topic was about Google providing AI logistics. There is ample evidence of Google's AI of flagging false positives.
Yup, it's incredibly clear in the spectogram.

You're basically looking for two things: first, an abrupt stop to frequencies above a certain point -- compression uses applies a low-pass filter to eliminate them.

Second, a bunch of rectangular-ish boxes where signal is missing. The spectrogram will look like swiss cheese in a way -- this is where the compression algorithm decides audio information can be deleted because it's "masked" by e.g. louder surrounding sounds.

(Generally speaking, the more aggressive the compression, the lower the frequency ceiling, and the more/bigger swiss cheese holes.)

On the other hand, if you run e.g. AAC compression at a very high bitrate and explicitly force no lowpass filter at all (which virtually nobody does in practice, but you can do from a command-line tool)... you won't be able to see any qualitative difference. Because you won't be able to hear any qualitative difference either. :)
Congratulations, you got the analogy. Both me shooting you in the face and a mob agreeing to perform a DDoS against a web server are both measures of force.

"I don't like what you're saying, so I'm going to shoot you in the face so you stop."

"I don't like the content your web server is serving, so I'm going to DDoS it so it stops."

The DDoS is not an idea in the same way that a bullet isn't one. Therefore no, this is not "the marketplace of ideas in action".

Wonderful novel. Galactic standard time is still counted in the number of seconds since a certain epoch. (January 1st 1970 00:00 UTC as it happens, though both that calendar system, and the precise significance, if any, of the date, are lost to history by the time of the novel. The first moon landing, maybe? So few records from that time survive.)
I don't think we would. This just feels to me like a classic "young people disagree with me" narrative that is so easy to create in one's mind. If anything, I'd expect the folks who've been around long enough to really see the state use its power to absolutely crush queer people with brutal violence against its own longstanding stated principles to be more aware that this isn't the sort of trade you can make.
But this makes it more like a casual conversation. We can’t mind wipe someone else when we say something wrong in real life.

Blackwater was a bit different from most of the other contractors since they were working for State vs. DOD (along with Triple Canopy and DynCorp) and had tasking which was directly in support of case officers going out meeting with agents (and often in Afghanistan and possibly Iraq they actually did the CIA mission for them), rather than escorting the case officer to do it... Blackwater and all the companies had outdated TTP in 2003/2004/2005/2006-ish but at least Blackwater had pretty solid personnel in 2003/2004/2005 (former special ops or at least high-end combat arms guys) due to high salaries, vs. later where day rate got down to the point that a lot of firms were hiring former prison guards, bouncers, etc.

I was running mostly low-profile in 2004 (old soft BMW sedans, local dress, local security forces, locally sourced weapons) and it was...interesting. Honestly more afraid of getting lit up by US forces or other contractors than insurgents, although due to our soft skinned vehicles and relatively light weapons, if we got discovered by insurgents enroute we would not get kidnapped but would probably not do very well if we didn't gtfo within the initial few seconds of engagement. Almost got into a bad situation a few days after arriving. Minivan with two Americans with Hi-Powers, two Kurds with AKs, vs. a PKM, ~6 guys with AKs, and 3 trucks, stopped and boxed in, would have been at least not a kidnapping.
