This is common sense. Then they wonder why society is being torn apart by its fabrics. People these days engage only within their bubble and force others outside of their own bubble like this. It's your obligation in a democracy not to do that else you bear the responsibility of the consequences.

Initially my post was getting upvotes but now it's at 0.

Let ke clarify a bit more, the only reason I didn't speak up and put an end to this at past jobs was because I was being essentially held hostage by these people but if ever I can I will do everything I can to to put an end to this.

Right now I work at a large multinational (not primarily US based) we have people from all over and not even once have I heard politics or religion mentioned even in passing. I have turned down higher paying jobs to stay here. But in my entire adult life working in the US this was the one thing that always made any job unbearably miserable. It's like trying to have a meal in a nasty public toilet.

Oh and people who have time to post on HN and social media will tell you they don't have time outside of work to talk about these things.
My biggest concern in getting an e-bike is the fear of it getting stolen. I live in an European capital where this kind of crime is quite common. Didn't look too deep into insurance options, but still.

Other than that, the idea sounds super nice. I see more and more people using e-bikes here.
Yes, this. Also, any good email client will strip out the graphics and just give you formatted text anyway. I use Fastmail's web interface and there's a "Load Images" button but I rarely click it. Best of both worlds.
There is a word for that in the west as well, we just call it craftsmanship. The artist is the one we allow to decide what the purpose of the work is, even if they outsource all the work to apprentices, assistants, or for that matter computers.
> But, my ELI5 to myself: BLE beacons are already using ISM, so if your goal is to retransmit an ISM signal that beats the noise floor you're using to harvest RF in the same range, efficiency is going to have to be phenomenal in your system design (or take advantage of some power differential).

Harvest in one range (ex: 5.8GHz) broadcast into another (ex: 2.4GHz)
What you say is correct, but incomplete.

The unnaturally high consumption of PUFA is not for all kinds of PUFA, but mainly for linoleic acid and related fatty acids (a.k.a. omega-6 acids).

The consumption of the other main kind of PUFA, omega-3 acids, is frequently lower than before, as those are abundant mainly in some animal organs (which are more seldom consumed now) and in fish.

In small quantities linoleic acid is an essential nutrient for humans, but in large quantities it must be converted into other fatty acids, because it is not a normal component of human fat, and that can be a burden for the liver.

>the tech scales so well as to make their new goalpost irrelevant in a year.

This just brings me back to my original question. Self-driving cars have been "a year away" for many years now, and now companies are starting to hint that human assistance may be required for the foreseeable future [1]. So, why the confidence that art will be an easy problem to solve with just more scaling, when that approach hasn't eliminated the need for humans in any other domain?

[1]https://www.reuters.com/technology/truly-autonomous-cars-may...
Absolutely!

Unfortunately, from a political perspective, drivers will still to maximize their share of road space, and tend to oppose shifting car lanes to bike lanes. When confronted with the issues that cars cause (pollution, accidents, etc), technology like EVs and self driving gets deployed as a way to suggest that the status quo is fine (despite the fact that plenty of drivers seem to be upset about the EV transition, but I digress).
And PCMCIA before that. I did like it actually. I used these cards to add wifi to laptops that didn't have it, and later in the ExpressCard days it was a cheap way to add USB 3.0.

Its real replacement is Thunderbolt though! That's basically PCIe.

Ultimate meaning as cover for the jouissance of non-meaning. "

This reminds me of an old 4chan "prank". There was an open camera somewhere in New York(?) and in the view was a shop with various display stands. Users would post something like "Im gonna do it, watch!", everyone would start watching the video feed and like half an hour or so later a kid would run up and knock over one of displays. They'd just fuck with the poor shop owner whenever they were bored.

>>no, it's money laundering even if the funds haven't been procured from criminal activity.

You are wrong.

FINCEN "Money laundering involves disguising financial assets so they can be used without detection of the illegal activity that produced them."

WIKIPEDIA "Money laundering is the process of concealing the origin of money obtained from illicit activities such as drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement or gambling, by converting it into a legitimate source."

It's this paragraph in the article on the Washington Post:

"Importantly, recent research demonstrates that obesogens act to harm individuals in ways that traditional tests of chemical toxicity can’t detect. In particular, consequences of chemical exposure may not appear during the lifetime of an exposed organism but can be passed down through so-called epigenetic mechanisms to offspring even several generations away. A typical example is tributyltin or TBT, a chemical used in wood preservatives, among other things. In experiments exposing mice to low and supposedly safe levels of TBT, Blumberg and his colleagues found significantly increased fat accumulation in the next three generations."
Passkeys are just WebAuthN.
> So the question is, where should the fix be applied?

I'd posit that there is no good answer to this question, and that attempting to find or optimize one is a distraction. In very broad strokes, if you try to fix a problem too slowly, bad things keep happening; if you try to fix it too fast, you're liable to upset other things around you (e.g. the economy, delicate sensibilities, your short-term profitability, etc.). And the problem is too grossly high-dimensional to hope for any kind of consensus (or often, any analysis) at any level of detail beyond simply "yup, that's a problem".

With no hope of finding an ideal solution, the pragmatic response is to just address the problems you can see with the resources you can afford. Trust in being directionally correct.

He's saying just because you set up an ATM in the middle of a city and say, and then say feel free to wash your illegal cash here to do some money laundering.

The act of it being on blockchain and "decentralized" wont make a difference, anyone offering said "launder ATM" could be convicted of a crime.
Interesting, from libHTML:

class Node {
Vector<Node*> m_children;
Node* m_next_sibling { nullptr };
Node* m_previous_sibling { nullptr };
}

Either m_children or m_next_sibling/m_previous_sibling are clearly superfluous.

m_children + m_parent are enough for tree representation.
FIDO is the general standard, though I'm unsure how Apple's implementation differs. The tricky aspect of Passkeys is that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to use them on non-Apple devices (IMHO not a deliberate lock-in, but a hard problem in general). I expect adoption to be slow because of this, in addition to the general problem of sites needing to adopt new authentication flows.
In that sense, yeah, fully agreed. Someone typing up whatever in the prompt is about as much of art as someone taking a random selfie in poorly lit environment on their smartphone.

However, there is definitely nuance to generating art using AI that is similar to photography as art in a way. There are massive blog posts and writeups that exist already, talking about different techniques for crafting prompts and fiddling with the model to achieve different results. Stuff like how ordering of the words matters (e.g., the order changes how much the model weighs a word), how the choice of different samplers affect the outcome, which words tend to be strong modifiers (e.g., if you want something looking like a real photo, add a specific camera model name), the number of iterations and guidance scale parameter choice, etc.

That's barely scratching the surface, given the whole thing became available less than a month ago, and people discover all those methods and techniques in real time. I am willing to bet that in a year, the complexity of a "good prompt" will be lightyears away from where we are now.

It's like someone invented a music instrument/artmaking tool, except it behaves a lot like a blackbox. So instead of developing techniques from the base knowledge of how the tool was created, we have to test and try bajillion different things to figure out how to get what we want.

And no, I am not trying to make a claim that generating art using those AI models is an equivalent to creating an acrylic painting. Just like i wouldnt claim that taking a great (in terms of art) photograph is an equivalent to creating an acrylic painting. Both of those stand in classes of their own.

Bikes are a superior solution in some places, but they're just not compatible with the existing infrastructure and culture in others.

You'd have to redesign neighborhoods, add transit for long distances, convince people to live more densely, raise a generation of children who are fit enough to ride and aren't scared of heat and cold, etc. I think that's worth doing and the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries have set a pretty good example but that took them generations.

Whereas self-driving electric cars can simply slot into our existing auto-centric cities and towns without requiring Americans to change their behavior, get exercise, or experience any sort of discomfort. Sure, they solve only a proper subset of the problems caused by cars (e.g. tailpipe emissions, parking) so they're more evolutionary then revolutionary, but I suppose they're better than nothing.
Imagine being unable to interview the new hire. You're not even told their name until the day before they start.

Imagine this new hire is your boss. Who stands in front of you all day every day and watches you work.

Imagine that no one in the company – not even the CEO – can fire them.

Imagine being unable to quit this job for any reason.

Imagine this is your first job, and you are a child, and your boss is an adult.

At least you're guaranteed to get a new boss next year.

Now imagine this guarantee is taken away. It's because a study in "EdWorkingPapers" found that taking it away is "associated with small increases in academic achievement".

Nvidia desktop GPU drivers are not open. They recently published some include files that make it a bit easier to communicate with and helps the Noveau projects.

You can't drive a Nvidia GPU with anywhere near the same performance/functionality with an open source driver.

There is a distinction between Twine games, or choice-based games, and parser games, which are typically called Interactive Fiction games. One provides a pre-set list of choices at branches of narrative, while the other provides a world that the user can explore and manipulate via a palette of text commands.
Now you have two sources of truth for autonomous and non-autonomous cars. You end up with two groups playing the same game by different rules on the same board simultaneously.

Whether or not that's a problem in practice is not clear to me. Among others, taxis, construction vehicles, emergency vehicles, garbage and delivery trucks, municipal busses, school buses, bicycles, motorcycles, and vehicles in funeral processions all play by different rules than the average motorist.

This mostly doesn't cause disasters. Of course they're visibly different for the most part and make up a comparatively small percentage of traffic.

Ride hailing vehicles might be an interesting point of comparison: they're visibly similar to normal vehicles, comparatively common, and play by something resembling taxi rules.

In the short term, It will certainly enhance artist’s abilities, Because artists still have that creative aspect that AI does not

But what happens when AI becomes more creative than humans? There will really be no need for a human artist at that point.

No modern PC should be pulling 500W all the time.

Idle power can be as low as 20-30W depending on the build.

You should also allow it to sleep, of course.

Something is wrong. A 3090 should only pull about 20 Watts at idle: https://www.servethehome.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-review-... . You might have some process forcing it into full-speed 3D mode for some reason.

Not sure why you assume I don't want a repairable laptop or what some plastic USB-C port extenders have to do with modularity.

Hiding a USB-C hub inside a laptop and calling it "modularity" seems pretty silly.

Maybe if that hub connected to some kind of riser card PCI-E interface and was replaceable I'd take this modularity claim more seriously. At least then I'd be able to replace the whole contraption with NVMe slots, a GPU, 10GigE, etc.
Are teachers really the ones pushing for such early starts of school? Anecdotally, most teachers I know don't love waking up at 5am in order to get ready and get to school on time. I always thought the early start was to have enough time in the afternoon and evening for after-school activities, but not sure.
Yeah, that's a concern. I've got a Kryptonite for the frame and a beefy cable for the front wheel, and I'm going to get pinlocks for everything I can. I don't think I'd leave it out overnight or be real comfortable leaving it on the street for a whole day, but for meals, stops into stores, etc I think it's protected well enough.

(I'd note also though that there's enough broken glass on the sides of the roads around here that I'm not sure a car is much of a theft deterrent either.)

> Perhaps a new generation could shoehorn in a non-card USB-C port, although that would break their design rule that all ports support Thunderbolt.

And that is what frustrates me so much. Sure, have an expansion slot on each side, they seem cool and I get the benefits. But give me more ports in a motherboard I can replace. This didn't seem like a technical decision or one grounded in values of repairability and sustainability, it seems like they made a design decision that is objectively worse.
I apologize if my comment was pedantic as we don't disagree. The parent quote is "If you are not a member of a certain country or economic zone, you cannot get and keep that zone's exclusive domains. Thats law." While the context is the EU, the parent made a claim larger than the EU, which is not correct.

It would be different if the parent had written "If you are not a member of the EU. . ." but that was not what was written.

Likewise, an EU law that governs only EU assets isn't transnational. For example, Poland doesn't have eligibility criteria [0] but French ccTLDs like .pm do [1]. As I read the restriction text I detect a touch of the spite referred to elsewhere as it has exceptions for other non-EU-member European countries: "Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein"

Global solar potential is badly skewed: deserts are a lousy place to put solar panels. Their only advantage is that overcast is rare. The best sites are tropical and sub-tropical calm fresh water with limited overcast, to float panels on.

It is probably worth making a reservoir to float them on, even in a desert. Nobody knows how long floating panels will last, because there hasn't been time. Warranties assume they are very hot all day.

> Note that C7, C11 and C15 completely disappeared, since they are unnecessary. Instead of being extra commits clogging up the log, they are the history rewrite events that don't need to be consigned.

In my experience, there's no such thing as an "unnecessary" merge. Every merge commit encodes tree changes from the various merge strategies. Explicit merge commits keep those (mostly) separate from deliberate developer changes and make it easy to trace back a subtle merge bug or the wrong merge strategy.

Git's modern merge strategies today feel almost like magic and "never mismerge", so I don't blame anyone for never having had to trace through merge commit history for subtle mismerges today, and assuming in all cases the merge strategies "just do the right thing". But it still happens, those subtle, terrifying moments when the magic breaks down in subtle ways and the merge tree output isn't what you expect or need.

From my perspective, trusting rebases and squashes and cherry picks is putting sometimes way too much trust in git's various merge strategies. I do trust them, and rely on them for a lot. But I've also seen the dark sides of them: the need to find mismerge needles in large haystack branches, the gut wrenching low level micro-management of rerere caches to avoid similar mistakes in the future. Personally, I'd much rather have a million "unnecessary" merge commits than ever again need to mentally "bisect" a mismerge from a deliberate choice in some long gone developer's hand cherry picked and squashed commit where all the merge details are mixed in with all the other code changes and no clues where the dividing lines were.
