This comment is right on the money in making the distinction between illustration/stock images, and fine art, let alone installation or performance art. It's a distinction not made often enough in these conversations. These functions are performed by different people, for different reasons, and they're used in different ways.

Sadly, the market for the kind of art that the these models cannot disrupt is relatively small compared to the kind it can. There aren't a lot of people making a family-supporting living doing installation art. Most people I know with art degrees do illustration, photography, or are part of a video game or film asset production pipeline (or they draw tattoos, but that's a different matter). If I were them, I would be looking at the next generation of this technology as a potential threat to my livelihood. I don't want to be alarmist, but it is a possibility, and it'd be weird to dismiss it.

One other thing I'll tack on here is that I find it fascinating that the kinds of skills required to be "good" at using these image generation models — "prompt engineering" if you like — are largely different than the ones required to create art from scratch. You can be a great studio painter, but not be able to "talk to" Stable Diffusion at all. Likewise, you may have zero artistic ability in the traditional sense, but be a prodigy at getting the computer to spit out what you are imagining, or something even better than that. If AI generated art is determined to be a kind of art (as I believe it will be) the parameters of what we call artistic ability may change.
The better question is, "Should it?". Malls are awful and in their heyday, they decimated downtowns and small businesses. Good riddance.

Yes, but if you own a car, then you're already paying for something that can save you time and personal energy so you can do things you enjoy, like playing with your kids, or tending your garden. Often times the quickest and easiest tool to use is what you're going to reach for, and that's a car most of the time.
The sad reality is that testing and reviewing will only get us to defect density of one defect per 1000 lines of code changed - a nice round number for a clarity of discussion (and we are lucky here, see below). E.g., if patch changes or adds 300 lines of code, which is not unusual amount of code, the probability of defect is 1/3. My changeset right now contains 320 files and 3200 lines added or changed (a fix for long standing defect in design). It is not green in testing, but you get the idea: it is quite probably I will introduce some defect into main branch. Three against one that I will and it'll pass review.

Usually, private branches are get deleted after merge happen.

In the end, I will have a situation where there is a defect in the main branch and there is no way to bisect it narrower than to squashed commit.

What should I do with 3200 changed lines in 320 files when there is a defect?

[1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4049958/embedded-softwar...

The page above hints that pre-review defect density for C/C++ code is 4.5 defects per 100 lines of code. After review it is 0.82 defects per 100 LOC, or 8.2 defects per 1000 lines of code. My big patch will introduce 25 defects that'll pass review. Even 10 fold decrease in defect density after testing (haha) will not significantly reduce probability of the introduction of a single defect.
Never happened? Every search I can think of had an ad covering half or more of my screen (full with the keyboard still enabled). Mostly of terrible low-quality apps you'd rather expect on the Microsoft store too. There's a whole tab for "curated" content.

The whole App Store is one big "ew" experience. It's what you'd expect from other companies.

... and the rest of iOS already shows similar elements. Setting up an iPhone recently I think I saw 3 full screen ads for Apple services. From what I remember it would be a lot more if I used more first-party apps.

What a disappointing way to ruin an otherwise pretty nice experience!
The entire space of "NP-complete techniques" is very interesting to me. At some point, you will come across an NP-complete problem, and your only choices are to either give up, or try your best to solve the problem anyway.

Constraint Programming "clicks" for me a lot more than SAT solvers, which feel more mystical. BDDs and MDDs also deserve a mention, as BDDs kinda solve the #P-complete problem (counting-NP complete problem: not only finding one valid solution, but the count of all valid solutions to an NP complete situation. Many optimization problems are #P complete, as you want to iterate over all of the valid solutions and find the best one.

>>this exists to hide transactions from them (tax assessor)

Not true, this tool exists to provide privacy on an otherwise public ledger. Your tax assessor has no right to know about a transaction as soon as it occurs. A crime is only committed if you don't voluntarily declare it at a certain point in the future.

Making the world fair would be equal opportunity. Equity is the hot topic nowadays, which is explicitly ignoring more qualified applicants for less qualified applicants because of their race, and that's what people are upset about.

> Oh, maybe I misinterpreted.

No worries. It's easy to misinterpret these things because there are facets of job performance in this area that wouldn't be out of place at all in a "diversity impact statement" (such as a proven, developed ability to teach and work with people from a high variety of backgrounds - which doesn't even correlate all that much with political stance per se). Nevertheless, the very notion of requiring that kind of statement is sure to introduce a sort of very real bias in hiring.
I am absolutely all in for equality, but definitely strongly against equity.

When I get HR try to shove a resume down my throat because it ticks all of their boxes despite having none of the boxes to be succesful on the job, that is when I draw the line.

> I remember an example of an artist paying illegal immigrants to hold a wall (that could not stand by itself) in a gallery, to touch on social issues.

Do you happen to have a link? This sounds amazing. I wish more artists and mainstream would come forward to help immigrants. The way the states treat the immigrants is inhumane. We should open our borders, not build more walls.

Just adding to what you said, a 24-core CPU won't get anywhere near peak power usage during gaming. Most games only use a handful of cores. The only way you'll approach it is with parallelizable productivity work like video encoding or compiling code.

Shall we talk about the weather then?
been a while since i used it but best i recall Mercurially was a very close competitor to git, but in many cases had arguably better commands for accomplishing the tasks. That is to say, less memorization of archaic patterns and more "oh that makes sense". Git has gotten a lot better in this area since then.

Git stash however, is one place where it's just crap. `git stash apply stash@{3}` ?!?!? No. omg no. Sure, for "hey it works" but not for "hey let's have this be the standard interface that we give to everyone and never improve" After all these years we still can't say `git stash apply 3` ??? really?

also git stash is wildly divergent in terms of conventions relative to all the other commands.

I walk to work and buying a new car every year + gas + insurance + parking would be less than 10% of my income, whereas I would need to save for years to buy a plane and couldn't possibly afford the upkeep and storage here. So seems like a pretty silly comparison.
Hello Microflash, thanks for your question. I can only answer for Raivo, since at the moment Sentinel is not available for Android (Aegis) or Windows (Protecc).

What I can say is the following:
- as far as I know, Raivo uses iCloud, while Sentinel uses the iCloud Keychain (secured by Apple's encryption)
- Sentinel offers Folders to organize tokens
- Sentinel offers multiple themes and display modes

Hope this answers your question

Through the process of using dominant market power, to anti-competitively harm competitors in various industries.

The most common one, that is in the news, is the App Store situation, where literal laws are being passed to ban Apple's behavior.

But it also applies to other parts of their business, such as ads. There could be a push to pass laws to make Apple's behavior illegal in those spaces as well.
I half agree, though I’ve seen plenty of people on Facebook/YouTube/shopping sites at every office I’ve worked in while on the clock, not to mention just goofing off with coworkers talking about whatever subject.

When I’m at home I find it much easier to create a distraction free environment without the noise and uneasiness of someone looking over my shoulder.
The whole blog is like this; it's all sort of comically smug "everybody else in the entire world is wrong, and here is a 7-point axiomatic derivation proving it"†, much of it depending on specific definitions of specific words. Check-mate, atheists!

There are lots of good, sharp, critical things to say about the DEI movement, most especially "institutional" DEI, but you can't meaningfully say them when you write with this tone, can you?

I did something similar for my home lab setup in my previous house. It was pretty reasonable having two dedicated 20A circuits run w/ surge protected hospital-grade outlets and dual function breakers. Each circuit fed a different UPS which fed a different PDU so everything had redundant power back to the breaker panel, which was all I could reasonably do residentially, and it meant none of the servers/network gear impacted the rest of my office circuits.

It was reasonably cheap, and in my next house I'll do the same again. Running additional circuits is pretty easy if you have an attic or crawl space.
I recently watched an interesting discussion on the legality of diversity statement requirements. [1] There's a lot of nuance here, and the two speakers have different opinions on the matter.

One believes that diversity statement requirements can be done properly and we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater by banning diversity statement requirements.

The other speaker suggests these are analogous to requirements that a candidate talk about how they support the government's ongoing war effort, and catalog all they have done in furtherance of it.

That’s a chicken and egg problem. If you live in a city without ideal weather thats already built with automobiles in mind, getting even just a whole whopping 1% of trips by bike is nearly impossible and still makes no difference. Possibly even counterproductive as the bikes are consuming the infrastructure yet volume is not contributing enough to the “everyone can benefit” part.

Living in a place that is overly car dependent, I’ve watched as billions are spent on light rails and bike lanes and such but ultimately have very low utilization. People, on average, don’t want to use it here. They won’t want to use it until there’s any economic reason to use it.

Can you elaborate? Isn’t the seed a simple int (or long int)?
Is that a controversial statement? That tends to be a law on the books
Yep; we live where we do to maximise cycling. Here are the problems with that as a general rule:

- it's desirable, so property prices in places that enable this are higher, if there is even a location that could fulfill this

- expensive bikes aren't affordable by most people who also need a car

- there's a large window where kids are too big for a cargo bike, and still too young to go off freely
What is a different skill set? If you're referring to the discipline needed to stay productive at the office versus at home, I don't think I see how they could not be related - in my case, closely related.
I don’t think I’ve ever worked a job that didn’t define core business hours. If you would normally be expected to be in the office from 9-5, why would that core hours expectation no longer apply if you wfh?
If they built a strawman argument we don't have to accept it.
AI and Digitalization Projects
So, what if we digitalize old paper records, run thru tesseract, dump data into a data lake, and train AI to respond to requests for data. Maybe have AI respond and grade accuracy(percentile), and based on accuracy, we either request visual scans or we take its word for it. This would be an alternative to converting digitalized documents into a database of sorts. How difficult a project would this be, and how much hardware is required? I've Been ruminating on this idea for a while now, and I just watched a youtube video on BLOOM.

Winter cycling is really not anything like as hardcore as people imagine it to be, especially in the pretty mild winter cities you mention of NYC and Philly. NotJustBikes has a great episode featuring Oulu Finland which has harsh winters but still has a way higher modeshare of cycling in the Winter than cities in North America do in the Summer https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU

With well maintained/shoveled/prioritized bike infrastructure, cycling in the Winter is actually quite pleasant and no big deal at all. There's an argument if we're talking about Winnipeg or Saskatoon, for the couple of months that it goes down to -30 celsius, a lot of people might call it quits, but those extreme temperatures are only around for 2 months, not the whole Winter.
Love that a large chunk of negative sentiment comments here are from one private equities trader. Pretty telling imo.

To use your own analogy.

Theorems, constructs and proofs existed in "Math Space" before they were discovered by humans.
Ask HN: How effective is current driver assistance at avoiding accidents?
Looking at currently deployed driver assist technologies (things like emergency breaking, lane departure warning/assist/centering, speed limit recognition / cruise assist), assuming they become universal at some point where nearly every car has them -- what percentage of avoidable accidents is likely to be eliminated?

I'm thinking of things like a distracted driver doesn't see that traffic ahead has stopped, or the driver turns away from looking straight ahead due to a sudden noise and the car drifts into another lane. Or one step further, red light recognition that would keep a driver from accidentally running a red light. Would these be likely to only have marginal utility on the overall range of car crashes, or are they really game changers? Also assume various actions, such as audible alert only (red light, lane departure) vs automatic action (slamming on breaks when a car in front stops, or a kid runs out in the lane).

Also, if things like lane centering and traffic/speed limit aware cruise is active, how will this impact the ability for law enforcement to recognize and pull over an impaired driver?

> Unless you mean digitally, but that's just "having accounts".

But you must open an account with a bank, and deposit money before they can process transactions for you.

There's no way to deposit money *into* bitcoin. Bitcoin is money.

> Each transaction has a set of associated addresses.

Yes, and you suggested addresses are the equivalent of accounts. They are not.

> Banks can facilitate transactions between arbitrary whole numbers of accounts also (off the top of my head: 1- paying interest; 2- payment; 3+- escrow)

Accounts, which hold money, are a tool of banks[0]. Bitcoin doesn't have accounts. Bitcoin is not a (limited) bank. It is a distributed digital cash system.

"Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or banks; managing transactions and the issuing of bitcoins is carried out collectively by the network."[1]

I don't think that math is realistic.

Most reasonably sized cars get > 30 these days. $1500 is 9,000 miles of fuel, or an average of 51 miles per day for 6 months. If you're commuting that far, then a bike probably isn't going to work anyways.

Let's say you can afford to live within some reasonable commute distance of 10 miles from your office, which is 2x the average bike commute distance, and 30 minutes at max legal ebike speed. That $1500 will get you 2 years of commute fuel, if you consider the seasons prevent you from driving for 3 months of the year.

Less common but not unheard of. Here's one example, primarily on focused on vision: http://www.brain-score.org/

DeepMind has also published works comparing RL architectures like IQN to dopaminergic neurons.

The challenge is that its very cross-disciplinary and most DL labs don't have a reason to explore the neuroscience side while most neuro labs don't have the expertise in DL.

Nice! Except I see that ethernet is a bit too large to fit the body, so this hangs a bit off of the side.

Is there an advantage to this over an external ethernet to USB-C adapter (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Ethernet-Portable-1-Gigabit-Chr...)? These days, I find that when using my laptop at home, a decent USB-C hub/dock is pretty much a pre-requisite given the number of things I need to connect (for me, monitor + mouse + keyboard + webcam + webcam light) and many of these have ethernet adapters built in anyway (which I don't personally use since my WiFi is fast enough).
