"Stable Diffusion" is referring to one specific set of models, which were trained on a dataset including some porn.

This headline contradicts the linked article.

The HN headline (Heavier cars are safer for their drivers, but far deadlier for everyone else) includes the non-driving passengers with "everyone else," implying that heavier cars are deadlier for them.

The first sentence of the abstract in the link states "Heavier vehicles are safer for their own occupants but more hazardous for other vehicles."

They spent a lot of time marketing how safe the SMART car was for a small vehicle. I believe they even showed putting a semi tractor on top of the SMART car to show how rigid its safety shell was.
Yeah this is kind of a laughable position in the article. I don’t mean the conclusion, which might be right, but the method. The laws of physics as we know them are just reflections of … nothing more than what we know. The fact that we have no account of what came before the big bang is not evidence of anything except that we don’t know, especially when a very plausible theory is that what came before is totally different in kind than what came after.

Being a good scientist doesn’t mean you’re a good philosopher.

We live on an approximately spherical world, its rotation is not tidal locked to its star, its rotational axis is not perpendicular to its orbital plane, we evolved to synchronize our biological rhythms including our sleep/wake cycle to local sunrise and sunset, we occupy a wide range of latitudes and longitudes, and we need to coordinate activities with people who are far away from us.

Switching to worldwide UTC doesn't change any of that, and you end up needing to add something that is essentially equivalent to timezones.
The Chinese-made Starrett 1202 models are actually better than the standard made-in-USA versions in some ways. The sturdier, nicely made movement is an improvement over the old calipers which probably haven't changed design since they were first invented. But, parts for the movement are not sold separately! You will have to buy the complete movement assembly, with the bezel and the crystal.

That sounds like you can buy an unbranded/off-branded one from Aliexpress or similar at a fraction of the price, with the exact same construction.

"I build this bot to automate the process of going to wayback machine (or archive.ph) to find the archive link for posts with articles that have subscription blocks"

It is easy to automate this using a forward proxy. I use one on a loopback address. The way I have it set up, I add a given domain to a text file, reload,^1 and from then on, the proxy will rewrite the URLs using that domain to point to archive.org or whatever.

I have never encountered an archive.ph URL on HN where the site proxied, purportedly to avoid a "subscription block",^2 was not accessible without using the archive.ph URL. For example, sometimes the issue is simply that Javascript needs to be disabled, or one needs to use an AMP URL without Javascript. (The later looks great in a text-only browsersuch as links.) Whereas submissions for articles on sites that are password-protected, e.g., ft.com, rarely or never have archive.ph URLs.

This notion of "bots" is a never-ending source of amusement.

Everyone thinks they know what a "bot" is, but IMO that term alone tells us next to nothing. For example, one can write scripts, here using Python, that are disrespectful of server resources or whatever "rules" are in place and, as a result, get "banned". One can also write scripts that are respectful of server resources and any rules and never get banned. Automation is not per se "bots" and "bots" are not per se "bad". Computers and automation are everywhere. We do not label all automation using the internet as "bots". Whether something is "good" or "bad" depends on what a script is doing and, sometimes, who is using it.^3

I have been using automation for reading HN for over 10 years. Yes, it is possible to get banned but it depends on what a script does. The HN software does have limitations and one has to learn to work within those constraints.

1. Something like

echo reload |socat stdio /path/to/control/socket

2. IMO a true "subscription" would require a password. That is, non-subscribers would not have access to the content. Why do sites make content avaiable to to non-subscribers. Is it only to try to attract new subscribers. The site is gathering data about computer users and serving advertising. The site operator profits from the traffic from non-subscribers. If a site operator wants to make content only accesible to sucbscribers it can make that content password-protected. If the operator chooses not to use password protection then she may have a difficult time convincing a court the content published was not public. Annoying people with Javascript is not access control.

3. Corporations performing telemetry and remotely installing and running "updates", automatically, without explicit consent on computers that do not belong to them generally do not get labeled as "bots". Whereas using automation to "subscribe" to "tech" company websites that aim to collect data about users in order to target advertising might be labeled as "bots" in a perjorative sense, if one is in the business of online advertising.
They both work for me. I am using custom nameservers though.
I neither expect this to happen nor think this is a matter for browsers (rather than system name resolvers), but in any case[1]

top-level domain names [must] not be all-numeric

so these are simply bad DNS. Browsers, even though they deliberately disregard RFCs on matters of URI syntax, concur on this particular point[2]

If asciiDomain [split on periods] ends in a [C-style decimal, octal, or hexadecimal] number, then return the result of IPv4 parsing asciiDomain.

I agree, a naive view might be that if you have a lot of bad things around you its only natural to have a negative response, but we as humans can only handle so much capacity to handle bad things without becoming twisted. Call it delusional, or American toxic positivty, or optimism or whatever but I need to mentally put a thumb on the scale for positivity, real world be damned.

As just one more computer programmer mouthing off about a Nobel Laureate's assertions in the grand tradition of HN:

I find it far more useful to think about boundary cases like "first time" or "farthest distance" in terms of observable causal structure: what can currently know about the cause and effect relationship between things, what could we possibly know, and what could we never know? Outside of that it seems to be not only a slippery but also a steep slope into sloppy analogy to human experience.
One thing to note is that, not only can taxes be made progressive, liability insurance is likely regressive considering higher paying jobs are more likely to be remote.
Agreed - at a previous job lots of time was invested in setting up test retries, and splitting test runs out so that you could retrigger only the subsets that failed instead of the whole test suite.

A lot of danger to pedestrians and cyclists actually comes from the design of the car. It's currently cool to have like some sort of livestock-rammer over your front bumper that just crushes pedestrians instead of sending them up over the hood. People don't have those for safety, they just think it looks cool. We should really make those illegal on city streets. (If you drive a pickup truck out on your farm, this doesn't apply, I can see the legitimacy of that sort of vehicle choice and that sort of mod. It's for actual productivity, not style.)

Basically, the industry puts 0 thought into protecting other road users, and it's a really big problem. We should start mandating safety features for those outside of the car.

The big problem is that driving isn't just for rich people. It's a lifeline for the poorest Americans that have no choice but to trade free time for commuting time to be able to afford to live. So if we mandate expensive safety features, it's just a tax on the poor. People might be willing to pay the tax to save their own bacon, but they certainly aren't going to do it to save some random person riding their bike to work. That's why we have to dramatically rethink how we build our cities and suburbs. Things like electric cars to combat climate change are a distraction from the real issues. Fossil fuels aren't smashing pedestrians, dividing our cities into unliveable neighborhoods with 20 lane freeways, or mandating 1 parking space for every person in a 10,000 person office building. That's just cars, and electric cars fix none of it.

The good news is, it looks like all the suburbs built in the 50s are due for things like water main replacement, street replacement, sewer replacement, etc. and nobody can afford it. So we'll have a chance to densify and cut cars out of our culture for good. Until then, hide your children and hide your wives, so that people can freely rampage through your neighborhood on their way to a meeting they're already 20 minutes late for. In a carbon-sensitive way, of course.

Second this. You can find all kinds of interesting writing and documents with this search engine, I actually came here to say this.

There's also places on the web that are not right off the highway so to speak, you can find them by delving into smaller communities like forums, fediverse is a good place to find stuff like that. weboasis.app has links to a ton of small back road link aggregators and forums. The real internet exists, it's just google and Facebook aren't going to show it to you.
I suggest you look into Hanlon's razor. It may help you to have a better grip on reality.
Oh wow! Didn’t realize.
It's more than abusive, social media is filled with frothing car fanatics that want to kill cyclists merely for slowing them down from being able to roar up to the traffic light and stop in traffic a few seconds earlier.
>People just need to drive safe and not be stupid behind the wheel.

Hmm, let's see how that's going

>2 million people are killed on roads yearly, and many more are injured

Not so well.

Jokes aside, we need to move to safer and more efficient forms of transportation, rather than wishing that everybody operates their 2 ton death machine in a safe way.
Right: buses, despite their size, kill far fewer pedestrians and passengers. Size is a factor for personal automobiles because individuals lack the training (and restraint) that's key to bus driving. It's hard to see a world in which the US accepts that and increases the restrictions on obtaining a license, however.
The insurance company doesn’t care about your safety, just how risky you are and the expected payout for insurance over your lifetime subtracted from the income produced from the policy. They don’t increase it to change behavior as you imply. This is different than the government taxation which is less about revenue and costs than about public health incentive creation.
This is similar to the premise of "Righting software" and volatility based decomposition as opposed to functional decomposition.

Your example is functional but you wouldnt have to change much to have it fit in the "engines and managers" pattern the author is fond of.

> if you fall in a coma for a year, you might wake up homeless

No, you would wake up, as scythe has already pointed out, with a tax lien on your property--which you could of course remove by paying the taxes owed.

If you own your home, you can't be evicted from it the way a renter can. The only way to force you out of your home would be to take away your title to it. I'm not aware of any jurisdictions where this is actually done for non-payment of taxes, though.

A much better case can be made that you don't fully own your home if you have a mortgage on it, since the lender has the right to foreclose, which means they take title to the property, if you don't make your mortgage payments for some period of time. (Ironically, your property taxes if you have a mortgage are being paid out of an escrow account, so your mortgage lender will see the consequences of non-payment well before your municipality will.)

How on earth those reforms were "despite capitalism"?
1 ton of oil is roughly 12 MegaWatt-hours[1], so 12 MWh in a ton × 16 tons per hour × 24 hours in a day × 21 days in three weeks = ~96000 MWh or ~0.1GWh.

No, that’s a different hostname. It will almost always resolve to the same IP address, and a large fraction of servers will serve the same content from the dotless and dotted forms, but they can serve something different (e.g. a redirect to the other form, or nothing), and it’s common for dotted versions of sites to be broken.

My guess is most insurances settle and it never goes to court, at least criminally.
Other fun fixes: tax by the weight of a car. Disallow individual purchases of vehicles where the dashboard is over 6 feet off the ground (yes, some people would make an LLC just to buy the giant car. It would stop a lot of it). Place a price cap on cars!

My favorite pie-in-the-sky-impossible-in-practice thing: force cars to be ugly as sin. Would help with the huge cars, but also has a nice side effect of getting rid of sports car drivers as well.

My college girlfriend was hit by a car right next to me going those speeds during a turn. It seems slow, but meat on steel is pretty brutal at any travel speed. It was a four or five month recovery.

The point is that the theory works -- matches observed reality -- even without a "0 point", analogous to the positive Reals or Rationals.
It can make porn images, but I haven't been able to get consistently good results. There's probably ways to tweak the parameters to improve things, but I haven't figured that out.

It mostly understands what naked people look like, but the images I've generated involve a lot of accidental body horror. You get a lot of people with extra arms, weird eyes, or body parts in the wrong places. The fact that they explicitly removed porn from the training set comes through pretty clearly in the model.

I suspect it could be improved a lot with some specialized retraining. As far as I know, nobody has done that work yet.
The problem is we have that - and even the cost of obliterating however many pedestrians and cyclists divided over all drivers is mere pennies.
As far as I can tell, the comparison in the article shows that it's generally way better for the environment to get a bunch of those flimsy plastic bags at the grocery check-out than to re-use a more substantial cotton or plastic bag (such as you can buy at Aldi) or to use paper bags. This conclusion is completely unintuitive to me.
Telling people what you find acceptable about the aesthetics of their home and property is the flip side of the same coin…

I don’t want to live next to a junkyard property, but I dislike restrictions on my property even less, so I choose to live in an area where I can do what I want, and my neighbors can do what they want.

If you have a dislike of “unsightly” properties, the solution is to live in a place where that is not allowed, not to try to impose your will on others who are living in a place where that is allowed.
It is still possible to buy property in the US that is untaxed, usually in very rural areas.

Yep, when I bought my Hilux I was told that it had an ANCAP Safety Rating of "5" (which is the highest in Australia). If I chose to get a bullbar installed, it would reduce to "4" even though I would be safer as pedestrian safety is significantly reduced and that factors into the rating.

Check the single pdf under the sources tab [0]. Search for 'waste bin bag'.

It's assumed that the LDPE bag will always be reused as a garbage bag, and that 'permeable' bags will not. Effectively, this assumes that every single time you (re)use whatever you have on hand to carry your groceries home in that's not a flimsy new LDPE bag, an entire sturdy plastic garbage bag is destroyed. By this math, carrying home your groceries in absolutely nothing is substantially more harmful than using a new LDPE bag. Just for fun, if we take this math to its logical extreme, the least environmentally harmful thing to do is to take as many LDPE bags as you can carry all stuffed full of nothing but more empty LDPE bags.
