So is most real art. In fact - artists have even created a dedicated terms to this kind of plagiarism: "style study" or even "reference". You can look for this term on YouTube and find a nearly endless result of artists basing art off of the style of other artists. [0]

It is 100% legal for me to blatantly copy the artistic style of Ilya Kuvshinov. I could even sell such work as my own - because it would be. I'd be seen as a derivative or knock-off artist but it can be done. As far as I can tell the real issue is that the AI does it far better - and much faster - than people can. Creating heavily derivative works that, if nonfamiliar with Kuvshinov's work, could possibly be mistaken as being theirs.

That the AI has learned that artist signatures/watermarks are a "feature" of some artwork and so sometimes adds its own has only reinforced people's mistaken belief that it is stealing art when that simply isn't how neural networks like this work at all.

Speaking of - how many people doing style studies of Ilya's work reached out for permission first? I'd wager zero. Because that isn't a thing artists tend to reach out and ask for permission to do. So why should an AI be expected to ask permission first?

[0] Quite literally only to illustrate my point.

And vintage sign making is now highly valued (whether hand-painted or digitally produced simulcra)

We tend to value scarcity. Things that resemble AI art will become passé and anything that is difficult/impossible for AI to produce will become highly regarded. I'm very curious to see how this shift in popular and/or high-brow taste will play out.
Has anyone done research on whether more financial crime happens in crypto or traditional finance? I'd be interested to see the result, adjusted for market cap or daily transaction volume or whatever makes the most sense.

> 500W

500W is a very high average power consumption. And my electricity is 0.13 USD/kWh, which is about half 0.25 CHF/kWh.

True average power is probably below 100W, for a total cost in the realm of 10 CHF or USD per month.
> There's no way to deposit money *into* bitcoin.

I have not deposited money into my bank account in many years. I have, instead, had money transferred to my account from other accounts. This is not only possible in Bitcoin; without it, Bitcoin would be useless. It's quite possible to open an account at a traditional bank with a transfer from another account; for online and investment banks, this is usually the only way to do it.

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

Still waiting for you to tell me how they are not. It seems obvious to me that they are functionally equivalent, and I have made a case for why. An address is an identifier associated with a transaction history and access control. An account number is an identifier associated with a transaction history and access control.

You have made no corresponding case for why they are not, apart from citing your belief and citing PR from bitcoin.org. The former is convincing of what you believe, but it is not convincing with respect to the functioning of Bitcoin or banks. The latter is convincing of what bitcoin.org wants me to believe, but it is not convincing with respect to the functioning of Bitcoin or banks.
I really hope you meant "sex like a dog" or something with that anecdote.

This is interesting. So one company invents and maintains a compiler, then a different company found that documentation to be insufficient (big surprise), so wrote out a lengthy standard that conformed to what the first company's compiler happened to do? Seems very useful, but also seems risky and hard to maintain. What happens when Google tightens a constraint or adds a new feature next week?

What project? PGP was bundled up and thrown onto the Internet; there was no development or services community established around it. The US Government threw a hissy fit over that and they ended up distributing it as a "book" instead, converting it into a question of free expression.

There is no meaningful sense in which PGP could ever be said to "facilitate" terrorism in the same way that Tornado Cash is rightfully characterized as facilitating money laundering. PGP is a program that runs on your host, encrypting your email. Tornado Cash is a service, run by an individual who was warned to cease serving sanctioned entities, and failed to do so.
This whole thing is like if Google insisted gRPC wasn't an API framework, it was just gRPC and indoctrinated every engineer that went through its ranks over the decades to perpetuate the same in other companies they join.

A calling convention is an API, an ABI is an API, and I am even okay with going as far as saying "walking into a convenience store, talking to a clerk in a human language to retrieve items in exchange of paper currency" is an API.
AMD announces 5.7ghz Ryzen 9 7950X chip retailing for $699 this month, meanwhile Intel hints at vapor chip that theoretically might hit 6ghz with no release date and no price. This stinks of desperation on Intel’s part.
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION itself is well-defined and memory safe, but the program constructs that cause it are generally not. A use-after-free or null pointer dereference may cause an access violation in one run but corrupt memory and keep going in another. This is a very typical approach to building an exploit- find something like this and then tweak the input to turn it into something worse.

This also plays into undefined behavior- unless the source language itself guarantees that a particular program will generate an access violation, chances are the access violation only happens by luck. For example, null pointer dereference is typically UB rather than specified as a crash, because while accessing the actual address 0 will reliably cause an access violation (assuming you are in such an environment), field projection and array indexing can move that address up out of the 0 page and lead to arbitrary memory access.
Society is responsible for itself. There are no written rules you inherit when you are a born. You only inherit whatever was passed down to you through your family lineage. And if that happens to be unsavory, then you as a person have to resolve that.

I am talking high-level self-development and conscious awareness not some crap imposed onto people who think they know better.
So, what exactly management did wrong in your opinion?
I don't follow.

Either you can break your big commit down into pieces that can be applied one by one - then do that using history rewriting (and testing each part!).

Or that's not possible, e.g. because it's a global architecture change or something that is already atomar. Then there is nothing to bisect anyway - there is nothing that can be done, no matter which tool you use and no matter if you squash or not.
HN is full of Intel bears / AMD bulls so they're going to latch onto whatever they can complain about.
Finding a more commensurate representation of underrepresented groups is a laudable goal, but if it means systemically discriminating against Asians or Hispanics then it's really a tongue in cheek effort

If we assume (rightly) that american society is inherently and irredeemably racist, how exactly can we trust admissions officers or people involved in employee recruitment to make decisions that aren't racist?

Racism runs to the core of how people see each other in america, so much so that race data shouldn't be allowed into any decisions period. Or at least, people should feed inaccurate data into the system in order to subvert the white privilege that it rests apon
I think the title has seen some inflation in the past years.

When talking with my oldest collogues, those that started out in the 70s, "Senior Engineer" was apparently reserved for, well, very senior engineers. People could have worked 10-15 years, before getting promoted to that.

These days, it's almost something which happens automatically after 5 years. I've even seen people get angry and frustrated if they haven't gotten that promotion after as little as 2 or 3 years.

But to their defense, A LOT of companies just use the various titles to place them in the correct salary bracket. I've seen examples of hiring more junior people than the title would indicate, simply because they were good candidates / seemed to have potential. And then they were stuck without salary promotions for 2-3 years, as their work output didn't necessarily warrant any higher salary.

Lots of weirdness in this industry, compared to the others I've worked in.
> their positions on affirmative action would be more dynamic than is commonly accepted

People are already trying to get affirmative action programs dismantled. Making them more complicated would lead to larger surface area, and be easier to attack.

> I don't believe the article is mere mudslinging.

The entire argument of the article is that they don't measure diversity the same way he wants them to measure diversity, and therefore they don't care about it. It never considers that schools consider it differently, or whether his method is consistent, or whether what he proposes has been considered and dismissed.
That's interesting. A large side of fries at Macdonald's would be $50 (though I suppose everything else would also jump a lot in price). Definitely creates a strong incentive to consume less.

Implementation wise, it probably would be best to begin at something like half a cent per calorie and then ratchet it up until we hit some target number (or until we discover it doesn't actually influence behavior). Then at the end of the year people get a $4000 dollar tax credit.

Yeah exactly this. I have a 3080 with a 5900X, would consider myself an enthusiast, and after recent price hike to my tariff here in the UK electricity usage is definitely something that's on my mind. Like, it hasn't stopped me gaming yet, but I'm very acutely aware that I'm using £1 worth of electricity every few hours of play - it adds up.
This seems like a practice that would work for some students and hurt others. Some students may not do well with a particular teacher. Being stuck for years with that teacher is a disservice to the student.
> Have you ever tried doing AI art?

Yes.

> What gets posted on social media are the few successful experiments. Most AI generated stuff is absolute crap. Getting anything useful out of it requires lot's of trial an error and magical incantations.

You are exaggerating. Easily over half the output I generate is on par with the standard being posted on social media.
For an experimental DIY product like Framework? I do, actually, and it's a large part of the reason why I haven't bought one despite thinking the overall project is a good idea.
Python docs have a 'howto' that I find useful.

For example, this is the Python 3 library documentation for `sockets`: https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html

And here is a much better introduction, the Python 3 'howto documentation' FOR `sockets`: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/sockets.html

It makes the Python docs a good first-stop for learning how to do things.

I find the "Python ecosystem" does a good job of this. For example, I have no idea what a Cholesky decomposition is, but the Numpy docs have useful examples in their docs: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.linal...
> As of today, Protobuf is now a fully-defined language:

(Etc.)

I'm not sure what this is meant to achieve in reality. There is still only one implementation that defines what the language actually is, and that is Google's protoc.

I'm my experience working with and writing alternative parsers for the '.proto' language, I've found that time and again Google's documentation for the format is either woefully vague, or directly contradicts the actual implementation. I don't see the value in a third party "spec" if what I have to do in practice will always be "whatever Google did in protoc".
Images can just be added as attachments however, they don't have to be inline. Many GUI mailbrowsers can display them as previews. If for some reason they are absolutely required to be inline of text, its easier on the recipient of the message, if the document is composed as a separate file (pdf or whatever), and sent as attachment.
Here's a 2.5gb one: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Ethernet-PowerExpand-Aluminum-P.... Guessing there would be no difference since the Framework modules appear to connect to the chassis via USB-C.
Anything this guy writes gets gobbled up and worshipped mindlessly to no end. The opening here was so crass i didn't bother reading the rest (yet) until i find a better time to do so and have put my strong feelings aside.

The News aren't just about distribution, you moron. If we didn't have large companies such as twitter and Facebook misclassified deliberately through government protection and instead called out as the publishers they are, newspapers would be one helluva profitable business line.

Just because economic forces were over ruled in favor of a national security advantage in keeping the American tech industry growing into the massive multinational beast it is, that does not automatically disqualify the hard journalistic effort in contributing to the large subset of content that drives engagement and thus clicks and thus ad dollars for many of these businesses.
> Typically organizations these days will support a REST API instead of EDI

Not in most logistics, purchase orders, and invoicing business cases. We have offered APIs, but most orgs want to do EDI.

We have significant volume still going through EDI that we have to keep it running, no matter how badly we want to stop maintaining it.

Even worse, even though there is X12 standard some orgs still want customizations.

EDI and ACH files need to be deprecated but money talks.
I think you'll find that modern games use many more cores than they used to since mainstream consoles have all moved to being octa-core for the last two generations and you have things like Vulkan better allowing multi-threaded graphics code.
That's like an interesting movie/show plot that I'd love to watch!
> Correct, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for transportation. Including roads for cars, but they’re currently treated that way in North America.

I've lived in Chicago for almost a decade, and I initially did all of my transportation by public transit. That said, I'm really surprised at how well driving works in Chicago, the 3rd largest city in the US and one of the most dense major cities, and one which has far fewer highways than even smaller cities: Chicago has only a few major thoroughfares for getting across town quickly by car, and even still traveling by car is almost always 2-3X faster than taking the El which is faster than the bus and so on.

Of course, this isn't an argument for investing more in cars and less in other forms of transit--if the folks who rely on cycling and public transit instead decided to drive, then congestion would be unbearable.

At least in Chicago, I think we could make a lot of progress in making all commuters safer by enforcing basic traffic laws. Chicago has some of the worst drivers I've ever seen--people routinely running solid red lights, weaving through traffic, generally not paying attention, passing on shoulders (on highways), parking in the middle of the street or in a bike lane, and generally just not paying attention to pedestrians and cyclists. Similarly, it seems like most cyclists just fly through stop signs and red lights with no sense of self-preservation--I'm a very careful driver, but a lot of intersections have low visibility and I've had a lot of near-misses with reckless cyclists. Also, public transit could be a lot safer and more comfortable if we would enforce such laws as "no smoking, urinating, panhandling, fighting, stabbing, robbing etc on buses and trains". Unfortunately, we're in the process of driving the police out of the city (we are hemorrhaging police officers) while also making sure offenders are minimally penalized (our district attorney prefers to let violent offenders out on low bail, lenient parole conditions, short sentences, etc if her office is even willing to prosecute in the first place).
Montessori (AMI) does this. Like anything there are tradeoffs. It great when it works; it's aweful when there is a problem. Implementation is also dependent on teacher availability.
> Film critics will quickly be forgotten because they created nothing.

Critizising something is an art, and requires vasts amounts of background knowledge. It is trivial to make a useless and unfair critique.

> But film critics never put anything on the line.

I disagree. Their reputation is on the line.
Why ARM and which ARM processor would you want?
The Framework Expansion card essentially is an USB-C adapter but with the form factor of a framework extension card.

I personally don't find the card very appealing. I thought Ethernet ports in thin laptops are a solved problem.
> This is what nearly happened with IE, except Firefox then later Chrome managed to displace it to some extent.

It took MS sleeping on it for several years and the entire web taking off like a rocket for that to happen. Not to mention “full web” mobile expectations.

It took cataclysmic disruptions in the space to even have a chance if breaking IE’s monopoly.
This is a completely different thing.

The "super duper secure mode" is not at all about you accessing or modifying the JS code from a website you are visiting. What it is about is trying to protect against some piece of JS code bypassing the security of the browser sandbox and accessing stuff it shouldn't ever have access to.

:)

Edit: Also, in general, no, disabling JIT would not prevent any particular JS code or extension from running. At most, it might mean some code would run slower. But that's what they claim, that it isn't noticeable.
> your financial scheme

It's not my financial scheme, it's the social contract.
It's already happened

A website I use said I need to use their Chrome add-on to automate some info gathering stuff. But I use Firefox?
I've looked, and all I've seen are jailbroken Chromebooks and Win 10 laptops that also need to be jailbroken and are missing drivers for important things like wifi and accelerated graphics.
It really was constructed strangely (feels like an 80s mall in the darker corridors).

I feel like the actual attractions are cool but the connections between them are not inviting in a way that makes you want to explore our stick around.
> I've refused to hire an english major young woman on my development team even under extreme pressure from management because she's a women, but also because she's the CTO's wife's niece

That's not "woke", that's just garden variety nepotism.
My comment was in reference to yours and the parent combined.

It should be easy to look at the C-board and find diversity because in a global economy there are tons of people with the experience as you've proved with your great example.
Anker offers a 2.5G adapter as well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097N5WJY9/
Editions are only necessary for otherwise-backwards-incompatible changes, to avoid breaking existing code. Even relatively major language features like the ? operator were shipped without an edition bump. But for example I think the await keyword itself was added as part of an edition, because it was incompatible with existing code that had a method named await.

The messaging around the 2018 edition was a little different here, with some attempts to use the edition release as an opportunity to advertise and summarize all the features that had shipped since 2015. But I think folks decided that was confusing, and with the 2021 edition the messaging was toned down.

I do, and oftentimes as a professional, not taking action (or taking some alternative action, or referring to another professional, etc) is the best thing you can advise a client.

A good surgeon will also very often advise a patient that surgery is not indicated.
>In the academy, left-wing beliefs dominate; therefore, the affirmative action supporters would be first and foremost demanding preferences for conservatives, libertarians, moderates, fascists, monarchists, and other people who do not accept the current progressive orthodoxy.

This is simply being obtuse for the sake of flame-bating, caring about diversity is simply a shorthand for the inclusion of sectors that were and are (actually) prejudiced against. The actual "practical" usefulness of diversity is more "perhaps we should try this facial recognition software with black skin", not the PR-esque "being different is superpower".

And no, you aren't a prejudiced because you are conservative, not even when people disagree with you on Twitter. Yes, Twitter mobs are actually a thing, yes they are dangerous, no they aren't that common. It's true that American liberals are overly interested in racial injustice to the detriment of class injustice, and affirmative action could be better based on socio-economic status.
Pull the latest from github rather than the AUR package. It's out of date. All things serenity related tend to get out of date quickly :)
The IF community will absolutely go to the mat insisting that Twine, etc. is IF in the same sense as parser games. They are judged side by side in the biggest annual competition.

I get that they are trying to be maximally inclusive, but frankly I have no idea what they are talking about. These things are plainly apples and oranges. And there is great value to be found in both.

But saying these are directly comparable is roughly analogous to saying a point and click adventure game is comparable to a "quick time event" game. I think the IF community cedes too much ground with respect to parser games in the name of having a bigger tent.
Yeah that's not true, at least here in the UK it isn't. My normal build will use 500W when gaming, so every couple hours that's £0.40. Every 10 hours is £4. That's just few days of gaming for me, not including all the other computer use, definitely adds up over a month, especially since my bills used to be £100/month now they are £300 a month.
