> AI-generated art was not allowed because it “lacked artistic merit.”

As a consumer, what I want is the art, not the merit. Over the last few weeks, I've been able to get images that I simply would have never gotten without Dall-e. Maybe it doesn't provide "merit", but it certainly provides a ton of value that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

Of all the things to worry about I don't think "diversity" and all the song and dance is really enjoyed by the typical large corporation folks who are actually in charge enough to make this some kind of conspiracy. That's too uncharacteristic and too many steps to make sense to me.

Let alone the fact that these diversity panels / oversight has caused plenty an issue at large corporations and PR messes. I don't think anyone at big corp wants any part of that just to in theory put pressure on someone else.

Actual regulations and laws are plenty effective on keeping down competition in some situations. Smaller corporations rarely see any real pressure diversity wise. There might be some examples but generally smaller orgs fly under the radar of just about everything.
You’re wrong on the first take and entitled to your choices on the second - to each their own.

> One thing I like to ask is, does your project have millions of lines of code, being worked on by thousands of developers scattered around the globe? If not, you might want to think about whether Git is really the best fit for your needs.

This personal assertion makes no sense. What leads you to assume that just because an application scales beautifully that automatically means it doesn't fit your needs?

I mean, you don't even bother trying to argue feature X is disappointing or feature Y is missing. Your whole point is that git scales so if you don't need scale then... Then what?

The truth of the matter is that Git works fantastically well both with personal static website projects with a dozen files and with million loc behemoths, whether in local repo only or with multiple remote repositories.

The open source software and cryptographic protocol is implicitly targeted with this order. You can see it in how private companies are now handling the Tornado Cash code and contributor accounts. If you create a similar privacy tool with zk-SNARKs do you really think it won’t also become a target for sanctions in time?

This is known as “chilling effect” in a legal context.
I think so? Modern c++ (c++11) came 13 years after c++98. Rust has been released for close to or longer than that depending on your definition of released.

How many days does it snow and how much?

Compare https://www.weather-atlas.com/en/netherlands/amsterdam-clima... and https://www.weather-atlas.com/en/illinois-usa/chicago-climat...

If you get less than an inch of snow a month and it doesn't stay long enough to go through thawing and freezing cycles, then bike infrastructure can handle it reasonably well. If you get a foot of snow at times and the snow you get in November hasn't melted by March, then bike infrastructure and the safety of riding bikes on segments of road that are difficult to plow, biking in the winter may be more problematic.

I'd suggest a trip up to Minneapolis, Madison, or Chicago in January and consider how bikeable those areas are and if it would be reasonable to do a commute.

(And as an aside, I don't consider those areas to be AI drivable in the winter either)
I think you and I have different concepts of realistic, ha. How do you propose people travel from rural place A to rural place B? Public transportation? That would be extremely expensive to implement, and would operate at a massive loss to service the entire US.

The interstate system and truck delivery seems to be pretty fantastic at servicing the continental US when paired with freight trains, cargo planes, etc. And it is similarly effective for delivery of all other kinds of things including people.

These systems would be good to implement in many cities, but interstate shipping and travel is another thing altogether.
Thanks for the tip, looks great i will definitely give it a try.

There's a couple of sleep apnea forums that might be helpful to you; I like http://www.apneaboard.com/

Before I got my CPAP set up the one thing I found that really helped me was sleeping on an inclined pillow, up about 20 degrees. Not comfortable but helped me breathe. There are other treatments for sleep apnea if CPAP isn't working for you; some surgical options, oral appliances, fancier breathing machines. Worth talking to a sleep specialist doctor about.
Changing the prompt until it generates what I want is not that different from changing my search terms until the result I want is closer to the top.

Now, I should of course note that search engines already employ ML techniques to actually interpret search terms, so to some extent the point is moot - ML is important to actually solving this problem.

I think it will be interesting, but not result in total annihilation of the existing field. As a general counterexample, TV did not kill radio despite it having more dimensions for creativity. Radio changed, but it did not die, and was quite comfortable for many decades after.

Coallescing on prompt languages is probably unlikely, if only because part of the thing that defines a language is that a community has rules, both opaque and explicit, about what is acceptable in the language and what is not, and there's no effort to standardize inputs.

Amsterdam in the 70ties was a car city ( https://inkspire.org/post/amsterdam-was-a-car-loving-city-in... ). People demanded change and the government delivered.

25 KM is a decent ride but definitely doable and even if people would only do it 50% of the time (and let's be honest, if people in Stockholm chose to bike during the winter months we can probably up that 50% a bit) that would still be a huge reduction in traffic, freeing up valuable city space for more productive endeavors.
“GDPR Auto cookie consent” extension removed due to malware
Well, there's a big difference between a student banging a prof with whom they have no other connection, and one who has direct control over the student's transcript. You don't want professors exploiting students for sex, nor do you want lazy students exploiting professors to meet their requirements. Ethical mindfields like that should be limited to grad students.
I live in Philadelphia and it’s absolutely feasible here. Our density is roughly comparable to European cities like Amsterdam. The vast majority of trips are under 3 miles. With a few relatively small tweaks we could be an excellent bike city.
> Does bitcoin store money?

still waiting.

> How is a bitcoin address meaningfully different from an account?

Well, for one, it's only an address. Not a ledger.

Bitcoin transactions point money at one or more address. Transactions, you might argue, are one-off ledgers. But then bitcoin is just a collection of those transactions & relevant/necessary data to support them them, compiled & validated using a variety of mathematic calculations.
>They don't actually care about user privacy, but rather want exclusive rights to all of your data so that they can sell it for a markup.

Of course not, in the same way that a Bently manufacture doesn't care that I own the car everybody envy, but that doesn't mean he won't make a car the everybody envies, because he does care about selling me an expensive car.
> People in agreement with the OP would be better served by someone who starts off acknowledging that biking and public transit work in other places and presenting their objections in that context.

Biking and public transit work, in a very small number of very dense places, and people drive cars everywhere else. Even in Europe and Japan, the supposed paradises of public transit, most people own and drive cars daily unless they live in London or Tokyo or other dense cities.

Accept that fact, and then you will be arguing in good faith. But to pretend that I'm ignoring some kind of bicycle-friendly paradise in other parts of the world is just silly. The super-dense cities where this works are outliers.

Pretty average as far as bloat goes, ~150-200 MB of RAM used, about as much as JetBrains Toolbox takes up in the tray, or Mattermost, Discord or other apps like that.

Lets me switch between GPU power/fan profiles (Performance > Tuning) so I can run my GPU at 50% of its maximum power most of the time (as well as different fan curves), for longevity/noise related reasons, especially when dealing with badly optimized software/games.

The CPU just seems to do its own thing and throttles up/down based on system load, haven't really needed to tune it for any particular reason yet.

It's passable but you're right that things could be way better, more usable and user friendly! I guess in a way, when everything is bloated, nothing is. Wirth's law at its finest.
I would like self driving cars because I find any travel that I have to do myself a waste of time and life. I like hiking but not to get from a to b. Bikes don’t make that better but possibly slower and more dangerous. Why not learn from HK or Tokyo where you can get anywhere easily, including during major typhoons, by the underground. The much praised London Underground is far worse (by a wide margin imho; boil in summer, freeze in winter and far less efficient than the Asian counterparts) and that is still one of the best in the world.
You could use a golf-cart sized vehicle, max speed ~20mph, and fit right in with the flow of bike traffic. So much safer for everyone involved than a car.

Would be nice if more cities optimized for golf carts alongside bikes.
Since this is an article about pedantry, I am sick of people conflating "API" with REST or HTTP. Applications had Programmable Interfaces before HTTP even existed.

Services hosted over the internet that let you make requests are a special case of "API" as far as I am concerned. System libraries and third party libraries are the most widely used kind of API, and it's not even close.
I am capable of riding a bike, and I even enjoy it. But I seldom use a bike for transportation because I'm scared it will be stolen. Bike theft is rampant, locks are ineffective (especially when it comes to attached accessories like lights and pumps), and the police don't bother to investigate.

In the Bay Area we have some nice bike paths along the creeks, but the local authorities have allowed those to turn into homeless camps. Guadalupe River Park in San Jose is probably the worst. There are literally tents obstructing the paths. I know several people who have been accosted by aggressive homeless camp residents and are now afraid to travel through. And judging by the bike parts I see scattered around, many of the camp residents are prolific bike thieves.

As long as the local authorities refuse to enforce the law, I have to assume they don't take bike transportation seriously and are only paying it lip service for virtue signaling.
I'd think that that depends on the density of the rail network and sparsity of the destinations.
Why is driving a 2 ton car safer in icy conditions than riding a 20lb bicycle?

Trash, but trash minted through an entrenched network of art curators, directors and connoisseurs - this is what makes trashy modern art scarce and valuable, not to mention the tax breaks!

What I and some insiders consider the real art - that is, applying rare well-developed talent to production of unapologetically high-quality sensual artifacts of art - is mostly commercialized by now, with best people employed by the media corporations to produce assets for high-value games and movies. I have nothing but respect for the talent it takes to create something that is valuable on its own (contrast with modern art, not valuable without of the context of its social network), and feel a tinge of sadness seeing that SD will move the equilibrium here.

The real crux of the matter is that we should provide artists with some decent UBI guarantee, and this should be a humane solution to impending poverty, for each of the professions that are going to cease being commercially viable in the near future.
Rust has improved in a number of significant ways since 1.0, those improvements are things that make it easier to work with in a number of ways. One way to think about this topic is if you found the language too hard in the beginning you may find it easier to work with now.

Also, since it was released a lot of patterns have evolved to work around the restrictions the language puts in place, and those are good to learn.
Yeah, not really. The only big changes to the language core were non lexical lifetimes, match ergonomics, lifetime elision, auto-deref, and async, although all of these are already so old now that I wouldn't consider them constituents of modern Rust; they're just (unqualified) Rust at this point.

Releases tend to bring some minor improvements like functions you wished had always existed or making non-const functions const, but that's pretty much it. Rust is a remarkably stable language.
I collect and rip Blu-Rays. Whenever I buy something big (like a complete TV series box set), it usually means my 5900x will be churning away in Handbrake non stop for a few days straight. It makes my basement a bit toasty.
It would certainly take some time for the cultural shift and all weather cycling gear investments to take place.
I'm not sure it's obvious there is demand. You say "tons off other headsets" but it still feels very niche to me.

>> As a web developer who has to test websites across multiple browsers, having to support another browser sounds expensive.

The problem is testing M browsers against N web sites - M*N complexity with M tests being done by each website. It should be M browsers tested against a single conformance test, and some means of testing N websites against a conformance test. The web browsers compatibility should not be your problem. Once people start accommodating non-conformists there is NO incentive for them to conform.
It is disruptive but only to one type of art - flat. So yes, since we are in front of screens most of the time flat will disrupt some. But art is more than that.
Is the hiring task

SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Candidates WHERE DIVERSE = 1 ORDER BY Candidate_Value_All_Things_Considered DESC

or

SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Candidates ORDER BY Candidate_Value_All_Things_Considered DESC

There could be valid reasons to employ either strategy, but I suspect most firms are trying to apply the second and your disbelief that the first query returns zero rows is more a mismatch with the firms' hiring strategy than anything else.
Well, I'm an American that grew up in very rural (out in the sticks) part of the country. Not sure if this translates to UK/EU, but we have roads known as farm-to-market roads that are typically 2-lane (one in each direction) that are typically decent quality. In certain areas, the speed limit can be 85mph on these roads, but more typically not higher than 65mph. These are also typically not well lit if at all, so high beams are very important, but typically, drivers are definitely overdriving their headlights. These roads are usually pretty straight except for when they have to bend around what used to be someone's property before claimed for the right of way.

Pedestrians are much less of a concern than say deer, cows, or other animals.
A colocation space took over one of ours for a data center. It's nice inside, but the outside is still a dump, probably worse then before.
It's an eyesore and there is no investment in the community or the area around the data center.
I think that's their point. Even if bicycles aren't a solution for all, everyone can still benefit from more trips happening by bicycle. The elderly or those with a commute that would leave them unacceptably sweaty can still drive, and they will enjoy less traffic, cleaner air, and an easier time finding parking thanks to the cyclists.
"if say computer languages had declarative statements and underlying mechanisms to separate internal and external clocks"

Well, we actually do have those things. You're pretty much describing how the unix time APIs work today.

The internal unix clock is kept as a "time_t", "struct timeval", or "struct timespec", which is seconds, usec, or nsec since an epoch. This is largely insulated from the geopolitical nonsense -- though it is imperfect with respect to leap seconds and it should have been defined as TAI. This is specified in sys/time.h on linux . These are further separated into clocks like CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, which track adjusted actual time (updated by ntp), and elapsed relative time respectively.

The "external clocks" as you call them are specified by the time.h functions like "ctime" or "localtime." These functions take the above internal clocks and apply timezone data to localize time to a specific area on earth.

"If one thinks about it this isn't as a preposterous idea as it may seem as the whole notion of relative time naturally falls out of Relativity/Spacetime."

Right, but we do this already. There's no such thing as a clock without a frame of reference though, so there will always be some special location in space/time which is the perspective of the system clock.

"Making computers and compter languages inherently aware of the fact would likely bring benefits. "

We already have reaped these benefits! The existing problems center around stuff like:

* Figuring out who's a correct relative authority for a given place on earth

* Communicating updates (and, correspondingly, guarding against bad updates)

* Figuring out how to keep various autonomous systems consistent

* Helping software developers understand these inherent complexities in timekeeping -- because I guarantee your average software developer is largely unaware that all these distinctions already exist.
