Well in this case the link between NFTs and AI art wasn't made by me, I'm just observing the overlap between the same online influencers/groups doing the same type of activism against two different phenomena.

Sure I think there's always a conversation to be had about how to incorporate tech. Like Reddit banning celeb deepfakes is probably the choice I would have made as well if I set policy on the site.

But what I'm noticing is over the top anger at usage per se. (Someone linked the 'reverse monet' tweet elsewhere in this discussion and the quote tweets there are unhinged.) That's what I'm saying can not be 'killed'--these breakthroughs in large language models

Similar things happen in the country, but it's dust from gravel roads, and/or from farming (discers, plows, combines, and so on). House can be 100 meters from the road and you still get tons of gravel road dust. Though, perhaps, that's not as bad for you as brake dust. In some corn towns it "snows" crap from the processing plants for part of the year. Can't imagine that's good for the lungs.
There's a few artists currently doing creative things with stable diffusion that aren't just "put in a prompt and let SD crap out an image". I think this music video from Holly Herndon shows the promise of this stuff. I do think ultimately once people have been exposed to enough AI art they're going to demand more creativity. Right now there's a lot of exploration going on and people need to get more familiar with AI tools before they start doing amazing things with them.

I love biking, and do it even in winter in Minnesota but this is not realistic. Winter riding is hard. Riding with kids is hard too. If you are elderly and have pre existing conditions how are you going to do it? So is this solution just for somewhat fit 15 to 65 somethings that are single and live in a specific urban area that is not too snowy?
> Even though your disk read is a memory read in all likelihood given how filesystem caching works, it's still an IO call, which isn't free.

I wonder if io_uring could be used to issue a single syscall that would read data from disk (actually using page cache) and send it on the network.

Of course, you could use DPDK or similar technologies to do the opposite - read the data from disk once and keep it in user-space buffers, then write it directly to NIC memory without another syscall. That should still theoretically be faster, since there would be 0 syscalls per request, where the other approach would require 1 per request.
> I don't think there's been any industry that's been ended by AI yet, and yet people are strangely confident that art is going to be the first.

Technology is making something that used to take a lot of practice and skill be accesible to those without any of it. A monkey can now draw two ovals, label it an owl, and run an image-to-image conversion with Stable Diffusion to get a pretty good sketch of an owl [1].

Is it better than what a good artist could do? Irrelevant.

Is it better than what a cheap illustrator I find on Fiverr could do? Irrelevant.

The only important point is that I no longer need an illustrator to get myself an owl. I draw some lines, I pick some words, and presto I have an illustration.

The question of whether it's "art" is entirely irrelevant.

> Are you under the impression that right now, as of today, the publicly-available AI models are ready to replace humans for all types of art outside of scientific and technical illustration?
Because that's not true at all. The AI can't even draw hands yet. To say nothing of its ability to handle multiple people and objects interacting in complex scenes.

I think this is severely underplaying the speed at which things are changing and basing an argument about things that the AI currently can't do. DALL-E was anounce in Jan 2021 and it's still locked behind API access. Stable Diffusion came out Aug 2022 and I can run it on <$2,000 laptop. That's not 2 years. Do you think hands are going to be a long term roadblock?

As for complex scenes, you can currently string that together with a Stable Diffusion plugin for photoshop/gimp.

The part you mention is 0.56mm thick including solder balls (0.37mm nominal without), and a credit card is 0.8mm thick. The thinnest 'normal' PCB is 0.4mm. Add some thickness from the exterior packaging, and the product will be the thickness of two credit cards, at least. You'd need to use a wafer-chip (with no package) to get to credit card thickness, then add a very thin battery of some sort. This is a very challenging and expensive project.

I wouldn't say it's the advertising and bundling as much as other factors I didn't mention as well. For example, Chromebooks in schools drew a lot of people to use Chrome and its ecosystem. Google Apps for Workplace/Education as well.

We've seen Microsoft throw money and bundling with IE and Edge, and it still hasn't done much. Even with being able to bundle Edge as the OS default - the biggest advantage anyone could ask for.
There's at least one legendary literature critic, Belinsky [1], in the old Russian Empire, who played a prominent role in "Westernizing" movement.

It sounds funny, but there's something to your comment.

I'm visiting my girlfriend's parents in Monterrey (MX) and we have incorporated the nearby mall into our daily 10k-steps walking habit. It's air-conditioned in this awful heat. It's fun to people-watch. It's more interesting than doing yet another stroll around the neighborhood/park in gym clothes. Maybe while there we incidentally buy an icecream, coffee, or a new t-shirt as a bonus, or maybe not.

We joke (darkly) that when we buy a house, we'll need to be sure it's near a mall so that we stay in shape.

I would add that the mall is also a destination to be around people, to see and be seen. There aren't a lot of places to do that. At the upscale one near me, people dress up. They aren't just romping through it to buy some shoes from Macy's and gtfo. They are walking with loved ones and lovers. Teens and quinceañeras are meeting up in it.

That said, the semi-upscale mall in my hometown in Texas was also thriving the last time I was there. Clearly, not all malls are doomed. "Why not just use Amazon?" seems to miss something that malls have that Amazon.com can never have. Hopefully malls build on that.

The mall next to me in Monterrey just built a new section with an indoor jungle gym for kids (basically a local park with A/C, imagine), a museum, roller-blading, and it has various community events. That seems to be the right direction. It's people things. We need more people things! I suspect we are desperate for it.

Give everyone equal subsidizes under contract to deliver a set amount of energy on demand, with massive fines for contract breach. The market will then determine which ideas are economical viable, and which ideas aren't.

This is what my government (Sweden) is actually doing, with one difference. Rather than a liability contract, if the investment fail the government will simply repay the investors regardless if it managed to deliver energy. The government intention is that regardless if energy projects succeed or not, the energy sector shall have any money they say they need as long they continue to invest and build more capacity. That is how desperate the situation is.
I don't see it. Can you expand a little more by what you mean here?

Cars are also not compatible with many types of disabilities. Cars will need to be part of the transit mix, but they don't need to dominate it.
> Yes, there are always a few folks who will pull their bikes out in 0°F (-18°C) and go out on icy roads

Luckily this doesn't apply everywhere.

> Also, bikes (especially individual bikes) are not very compatible with many types of disabilities. We really should keep accessibility in mind when working on Urban areas.

Well, sure but neither are the small cars that people often prefer in urban areas. Grade level light rail can be great for accessibility but can be hard to drop in place and expensive. Building out bike infrastructure is pretty cheap and in many circumstances can leave more space for other uses. It's a lot easier to get in and out of a van on a street narrowed for bike lanes, because either traffic will have to wait, or will be slower moving.
I watched the video, and I still think winter (and late fall, and early spring) weather is a problem for biking in the Pacific Northwest. It's just not a pleasant or safe thing to do most of the year.

I see a lot of snow in that video, and not a lot of rain. Best of luck biking in sheeting rain.
if only "no one really watches" was strict. if that video is one that gets posted to a social, but then rarely watched (by humans) after, it is still now available for all of those evilScraper types to pull down that content and do whatever they feels. those are the creepy bastards.

knowing that the three letter agencies can do this same forensics to catch $badGuy is somewhat comforting that at least it can do the function it was meant. preventing everyone else from doing the same is where the wheels fall off the bus. it's another one of those situations where the intended purpose gets shoved to the side with unconsidered purposes becoming the norm which makes $tech look evil.
Do you report every cash transaction?
Since the Queen's death, the authorities have started clamping down on dissenting speech regarding the monarchy. Other incidents include:

- a man arrested for heckling Prince Andrew: https://twitter.com/chrismarshll/status/1569323294716829700 (whereas those in the crowd who assaulted him were not arrested)

- a woman arrested (and later charged) for holding up an "Abolish The Monarchy" placard: https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/11/woman-arrested-after-holding-...

This follows an uncomfortable pattern - in recent years, the government has been restricting protest more generally. Earlier this year, the Tories passed a set of laws which can be applied even more broadly to crush dissent: https://www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/advice_information/pcs...
Strictly, no, but it is possible to have the expectation that your body would be burning 1700 calories a day by simply existing (using any online calculator will give you a rough idea of what your "Basal Metabolic Rate", or BMR, should be.

But if you have metabolic damage, you may have a lower metabolic rate than expected, meaning that the same 1200 calories a day that should cause you to lose a lb a week is actually just under maintenance calories.

Anecdotal, but this happened to me. I lost 100 lbs through diet and just got stuck. Couldn't lose any more to save my life. I ate 300-500 calories under my expected calorie expenditure every day.

Then, I got my metabolism tested and found that my BMR was at 300 calories a day under what it should have been, which meant that I was eating maintenance or overeating by 200 calories a day (and I was already feeling starving at that point!)

To cut another 300-500 calories out of my diet would have been untenable. I'm still trying to figure out what I can do.

Exercise more? Check.
Do blood work and make sure everything is in order? Check.
Vary my diet or try different diets? Check.

I think the only thing left is to try chemicals. Nothing else seems to either raise by base metabolism or decrease my intake needs.

Go to a shopping center, or a sporting event, or any other place where people publicly gather en masse and ask yourself how many of them could realistically get around on a bicycle.

There are a lot of very fat people, old people, disabled people, and so forth who could not ride a bike half a mile.

This is ridiculous utopian nonsense. Society is not a blank slate, and we don't get to start over from scratch. We don't get to re-litigate the past and pretend it never happened. Some people seem to think that if something happened for bad reasons 100 years ago, we ought to just undo it, but that is not how the real world works. We have to build on what exists, no matter why or how it got to be that way.

We aren't going to rebuild our cities around bikes, and even if we did, a large number of people could not use them. On the other hand, we already built our cities around cars, and self-driving cars would fit right in (if they actually worked).
I have read the book and its prequel "The Accidental superpower". The book is written from a very strong US centric viewpoint, which by definition makes it susceptible to bias and oversight about regions like South and South East Asia, Africa etc. He gets his facts right about many things, but some of his non-US centric claims come across as unsubstantiated and border on speculation.

It is a fine read in parts, but I would be wary to take this as the handbook of the coming future.

Changing the content type to include format=flowed means you're not sending plain text anymore. The content is some lightweight markup that's compatible with renderers that only understand plain text. This may seem pedantic, but it leads to real-world usability issues when folks with noncompliant MUAs quote or forward your flowed email; noncompliant meaning compliant with every standard except the one RFC that introduces format=flowed that isn't linked by the other RFCs one follows when writing an MUA, which makes sense since this is a one-off hack introduced by Eudora engineers and haphazardly implemented by some desktop clients.

In short, I completely agree with you.

This quote demonstrates why this article shouldn’t be read:

But human progress is not limited to how complex and powerful our technological artifacts are. What’s happening in the U.S. with abortion laws and gun violence should make this fairly evident.

These concepts are entirely orthogonal and there’s nothing evident about how these issues in the US are at all related to technology, cars, progress, or bicycles. And while I’m not one of them an awful lot of folks think the abortion laws are a good thing. This little quote encapsulates the article quality.

They are the last line of defense. Which means when they fail, election subversion becomes encoded as a matter of law. First in that state, and then federally, as that state manipulates its rules to send legislators and Presidential electors according to their partisan whims.

When the Supreme Court decided that gerrymandering was a state-by-state matter, it meant that some states were given the go-ahead to gerrymander. No requirement "free and open elections" makes it illegal to put all of your opponents in a single voting district. It's obviously unfair, but freedom from being "obviously unfair" is not explicitly given in the Constitution and therefore not a right any of us have.
This is something I want to know too. C++ certainly has some issues like pretty much every programming language does but in the original article Andreas mentions that he wants to make a cross-platform browser and cross-platform, portable applications is one of the areas where C++ can excel.

This sounds like an astoundingly appealing philosophy to one who is towards the top of this meritocracy pecking order, and utterly repugnant to anyone downward. It's so self-serving in that regard, that the "conflict of interest" in those who benefit in extolling it as the order for all...well, it makes the whole thing highly questionable. Is it the best way because it's the best way, or because it's best for you? It's really hard to see anyone who is on the wrong end of this system arguing for it, so in the end they would have to be subjugated? That rarely (never?) works out (if it can be considered a good thing to work out at all...), so it's clear to me that a hard-liner meritocratic system is never really going to work.

I think the sad reality is that modern art is largely trash. Perhaps because painting/drawing/sculpting with excellent technique is too much of a commodified trade already. Perhaps because it's too hard to be original. A new oil painting of a tree, no matter how well executed, won't draw people to an art gallery. So artists take refuge in social commentary: A banana taped to a wall. A naked person holding a trash barrel. Two bicycles welded together upside down. Or your example of undocumented people holding up a wall.

But do these artists have anything insightful to say about inequality or exploitation? No. It's always trite, reductive, and utterly unoriginal. The truth is that "statement art" is, almost without exception, just bad art, but people wrongly believe that: (a) there must be a deeper meaning to it that they don't understand or (b) people who say art is bad are philistines. And if art is just supposed to make you think, even when the artist didn't have any deep thoughts themselves, then SD art can easily meet that benchmark.

SD art will be good enough to decorate your home and office with. SD art will hold its own in art galleries, if it doesn't already. That's much broader than stock photography.
