I have a degree in Studio Arts in addition to being a software developer (and recently I've started making a lot of creative work with AI). Back when I was in school, there was already plenty of debate about 'what is "Art"'? It's always been hotly contested. Most of my teachers felt that 'technique' was not Art. Others were more purists – life painters, etc – and felt that, no, technique is art.

Duchamp poked the art establishment in the eye with his 'readymades' (urinals on the gallery wall, etc.) Warhol with his 'factory' making silkscreens.

The 'reverse Monet' (too lazy to link) that caused such an uproar when it was shared last week was ironic – apparently people aren't aware that the impressionists themselves were considered 'not artists' by a lot of people at the time.

The camera and photography made many painters sit up and say, 'hey, it can't just be about "image" anymore' – enter abstract expressionism, fauvism, cubism, etc. Work that shifted the focus from the image represented in the painting ('a window into a world') onto the surface of the canvas itself: Rothko, Albers, etc.

The thing is, people have wild misconceptions about what this technology does. Many clearly think it's a photocopier. As if StableDiffusion is hiding copies of all these works inside. When in fact what's been done is to take all of this online knowledge and create an incredible new tool with it. Like a music synthesizer times a million.

It's understandable why this technology makes people uncomfortable. There are legit fears about displacement, economic uncertainty, etc. But we are fundamentally tool makers – it's arguably intrinsically part of what makes us human (borrowing from Carl Sagan's "Dragons of Eden").

If I were back in the art department last century, I'm pretty sure we'd be really excitedly discussing how these new tools will enable entirely new forms of expression. And sure, there'd be the old guard saying it was awful, and 'not Art'.

This is a really interesting debate – I just wish it scratched deeper than the surface more often than it does, with a bit more historical context.
Your attitude that all accidents you are involved in will be the fault of other drivers, and that they will therefore deserve the lethal consequences, is a truly bleak data point. What about a child who darts into the street, who you have no hope of seeing because your vehicle is so tall? What about the cyclist who has a moment of inattention and ends up plastered to your grille? Is death the appropriate consequence for their actions?

None of this is necessary; people can and do live in a better way in other places. Japan has fewer than a quarter of the traffic deaths per capita that the US has.
That's encouraging. But we're apparently not out of the woods yet. It wasn't very long ago (3 weeks maybe?) that I was on Mouser.com (or maybe it was Newark, whatever) looking for DSP's and there were basically none to be had.

Hopefully we'll turn the corner soon and availability of most IC's will get back to normal. fingers crossed

> From SQLite not going to work well on sites with multiple authors (a killer from the start)

This is taken out of context and blown out of proportion. The post says:

"If multiple authors are editing posts on a site and updating them at the same time, then their save requests would run one after the other instead of simultaneously – so there would be a small delay (probably milliseconds, but still a delay)."

So, sure, if your site is so busy that multiple authors are posting within milliseconds of each other, there might be some extremely minor performance issues with SQLite.

> Amputees are not treated any less than athletes.

I see you don't understand meritocracy. Amputees can physically do less than athletes, therefore they deserve worse food, worse housing, and worse medical care, unless they can offset this defect in some other way.

It's almost blasphemous to do otherwise; if God has seen fit to punish them, your offsetting of that punishment shows a prideful disapproval of God's plan. God has made His judgment of the amputee clear, so it's actually your duty to reinforce that judgement. God has given us dominion over this world, and the responsibility to maintain it; we can do that better with athletes, rather than people who are missing limbs. Or secularly, we collectively maintain the world's wealth through our individual contributions. The mean athlete contributes more, the mean amputee contributes less, and what goes around, should come around. Workers, not shirkers!

I like to think of it as the reverse golden rule. Accept unto yourself that which you would have done to others. If you're worth less, eat less.
my claim was that buying the drugs was safer (my words: in a safe manner). Everything else in the "pipeline" being equal if one part of it becomes safer the whole thing is safer.

Want to eliminate production that happens in places with poverty/corruption/violence? Just make them legal. Seriously. Offer rehabilitation instead of jail. Other countries have done this and it work.

People talk a big game when it comes to "our freedoms" but real freedom is to be able to do whatever you want as long as you don't impact your neighbor/other.

Formatted text is less accessible. Accessibility is a legal requirement in many countries; in the UK it has been a legal requirement for twelve years.

https://info.webusability.co.uk/blog/what-is-the-law-on-acce...

Formatted email is especially difficult for blind users, whether they are using a screen reader or a Braille display.

Formatting can't be read aloud via text-to-speech if a sighted person is using it on a smartwatch or similar.

Formatting does not survive automatic translation. I live in a country where I do not speak the local language and I rely very heavily on machine translation; in fact in the last 5min I have just paid my gas bill using Google Translate to understand the email I was sent, and then again to navigate the gas supplier's website.

Formatting does not display in on-screen notification messages, and it may not survive being forwarded, read in certain clients, etc.

If you find you are relying on it, then you should improve your writing skills, because you are unwittingly excluding people and some will receive damaged versions of your emails which they can't understand correctly.

Everytime a major bank is caught doing something like that, UBS and Deutsche Bank come to mind, there is huge outcry about the lack of consequences. If a crypto exchange get's caught doing it, and there are consequences, there is huge outcry (among certain people) because there are consequences. Added severity, in the case of tornado cash, was helping North Korea. So not just money laundering but also circumventing sanctions that are taken very seriously by every political power that actually matters. Heck, even the Chinese at least try make it look like they adhere to the North Korea sanctions.

I mean, it is “clearly better” in that it provides all that Google has, plus a prompt to cancel the subscription, something grandparent comment specifically complained about Google not having. That alone is a “clearly better” experience. It’s also a comment; what do you expect, an ASCII table giving you a play by play of every feature?

You are free to have your own anecdotal experiences but that doesn’t change that objectively, Apple has a slight leg up.
Ah, well, just that if you include "I lost my device" or "I left my bag at a cafe and someone took it", as the comment to which you were responding did explicitly, the "attack surface" gets a lot more realistic-looking, and that's worth balancing mentally. (I think this is important because I am the person who loses stuff)
People say this because accountants don’t like capital spending.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrict is an attempt to declare that the programmer has avoided aliasing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_logic is a very fancy attempt to reason in the presence of possible aliasing.

History says the Euclid approach was a huge over-reaction, but consider also the naive memcpy:

while(count--)
*dst++ = *src++;

which works just fine ... as long as the destination and source buffers don't overlap (are not aliased).

You might consider no-aliasing imperative to have been an attempt to stake out a halfway position between "pointers are the goto of data structures" wild west full imperative, and "no mutation, even when unaliased" strict functional, disciplines.
It will 100% turn into a constant witch hunt - I can absolutely promise it.

2. Constant accusations of using the computer in places that restrict it.

I've tried mastadon, I've read some of the code, I've read the specs. I was really excited about it but then I started using it and its just not up to the bar of mainstream user expectations.

The bar has risen for social media sites since 2000. Its not enough to slap some SPA code together, get a basic working data model with CRUD functionality, and toss it into the ether. People aren't excited by a working toot (like) button.

In addition to what my sibling comment said,

> where they have full control over the machine code of the client,

Part of the state of modern anti-cheat is developers taking extreme measures to fight exactly this. Developers don’t just throw their hands up in the air and say it’s unfixable. The softwares I mention run as kernel modules, hook into all sorts of parts of your system, and sometimes even stream new mitigations to be executed as the game is running. That’s why an RCE in this software would be extremely bad.
It depends a lot on the problem to solve and how it is modeled. For some things OR-tools and/or other CP-style solvers are clearly better than MIP solvers. For others, vice verse.

A really nice thing with MiniZinc is that the same model can be used with both CP silvers like OR-Tools and MIP solvers like CPLEX and Gurobi.

That doesn't use U1 or U1-like tracking, though (can only beep, no precise finding like AirTag).
There have been many studies looking at this phenomenon.

One hypothesis is that this is due to "food deserts" where the lack of access to fresh foods leads to over-reliance on processed foods for caloric needs.

It is no coincidence that there is also a strong correlation between food deserts (at a national and local level) with lower income. The solution probably isn't banning specific foods, but to solve the access problem and address socio-economic factors. Better health and nutrition education may also be key.
If you are unable to see the outrageous comments in this very thread that are so bluntly visible, going to the extremes of calling it to be made a requirement for getting a plugin listed in the repo, then it means that you just dont want to see them. There is no basis for discussion in such a case.
>I for one would switch to a dumb feature phone

The fact that you would even consider this means you are a part of that 1%.
In practice that may be largely the case but it's not by definition true and still has counterexamples (Bahrain, Kuwait).
Interesting. From your link 4% opted out of tracking in iOS 14.5 in the US, while globally that number is higher at 12%.

Meanwhile back on Planet Earth .....

Going by your argument you should not own any electronic device.

Because you should not be trusting Intel/AMD to make your CPU because they might have put spyware in it ....

Because you should not trust your keyboard manufacturer because they might have embedded a keylogger in it....

Because you should not trust your choice of OS because you haven't personally reviewed 100% of the source code and all subsequent patches for spyware ...

In the end, its about balancing risk vs reward. And frankly, especially in terms of privacy, Apple are far more trustworthy than the vast majority of other options out there.
You're completely ignoring the massive adoption and extension of git by the industry. Its not like git is still developed in service to kernel dev exclusively.
I think the keyword there is "inline."
I think the communities involved here like digital artists, furries etc got a lot of attention hating on NFTs last year, so they are doubling down with the anti-art-generator movement. But I don't think this one will be so successful. Like sure, maybe art community sites could require you to tag prompt-generated art just as a way to label things, but in terms of widespread usage the cat is out of the bag.

Whenever I get on Twitter and see someone incoherently angry about people using Stable Diffusion I'm reminded of that quote from an Android in Blade Runner 2049: “You tiny thing.

This is incorrect. Tornado devs blocked all OFAC addresses from accessing the frontend, which is the only power they had, since the contracts themselves are immutable. See https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/04/15/tornado-cash-adds-c...
Yea, I wrote that no country was as anywhere strict as China. However, quite a few countries had curfews which elicited fines and possible jail time (fines happened, but I don't think jail was used in practice). One example:

My normal artwork (digital) is 9000x9000 pixels up to about 14400x14400. Good luck getting any of them to make something bigger than 1024x1024. Sure, you can use Gigapixel to upres things, but in the end it's basically impossible to make a decent artwork using ML at the moment. I only use Dall-E for offbeat ideas for geometric abstractions, so far Stable Diffusion sucks for that purpose.

Of course when you upload at no one wants you to do the full resolution image; at 1024x1024 you might be able to fool people with something ML made.

I believe most of these models only use 1k images so they really can't make anything bigger yet. Maybe someday but not today.
Saying something is only answerable by the divine is just like saying that you refuse to answer something. The unknowable is not answerable by the unknowable.
But fat increases satiety much more quickly than sugar. 500 cals of fats will make you feel "fuller" than 750 or even 1k cals of sugar. That's what makes sugar so much worse. Is may not be as colorically dense, but we can comfortably guzzle down far more empty calories from sugar than from fat.

An AK-47 is not relevent to a murder investigation.

There are thousands of them in the U.S. and owned by innocents. It would be unreasonable to come after all AK-47 owners because one was used in a crime. Rather, it would be up to the cops to find other facts about the weapon, perhaps how much more metallic it looked than your standard AK, and in which spots. Wear marks can be just as revealing as serial numbers.

> If you believe this thesis then in the coming years, and you believe the US will decouples/is decoupling from internationalism (I have been convinced),

This seems to be a popular notion but I don't see strong evidence for it. There is a visible anti-interventionist constituency in the US for the first time in decades but that doesn't mean it actually has any significant ability to sway foreign policy.

In fact, if American history is any suggestion, this constituency is unlikely to have its way as there have been much larger and better organized pluralities in the past who again and again were ultimately overcome by the interventionists.

Well that's the crux isn't it? If some prodigy can learn QFT before the age of 13 they have a lifetime to go beyond those concepts. But if it takes you 50 years to learn you don't have enough time to go beyond that. That's a fundamental piece of intelligence, the speed you can lean at.

The tech is cool, but some of the language is so cringy. For example, the statement "websites are social constructs" makes zero sense. You could say that websites are material objects of a symbolic network of computer languages, like physical paper money is a material, fetishized object of the social construct of money. Websites themselves are not constructed socially. Maybe the author means how websites are perceived, or conventions of web tech itself, is constructed socially?
