Heh, funny enough this showed up on reddit r/funny just last week. Here's the reddit comment thread [0]. From that comment thread I learned that there is 90 minute documentary about Troy and this suit titled "Project Grizzly" [1][2]

> What if the housing was abundant and affordable but came with strings attached, like not being able to do drugs or engage in other antisocial behavior in them? Would that be a draconian policy?

Yes - in two ways. First, "antisocial behavior" is a very loose phrase. Do you mean "crimes," or do you mean something broader? If the latter, then you're applying a higher standard to the most vulnerable than to everyone else in society, and that's definitely draconain. Second, expecting people to quit addictive drugs cold turkey in order to obtain housing is absolutely doomed to fail. Why not have harm reduction clinics and secular drug rehabs as an option? That would almost certainly lead to better outcomes.
Driving while talking on the phone, even hands free, is a huge problem too. IMO they should tackle that first since it seems like it would be easier to solve.

I think the simplest answer to all of this is a cage match.

Specifically, a Faraday Cage.

Magnus believes that Niemann is cheating via communication with a computer. Fine, let's completely remove the ability to communicate with a computer. Both men are searched on the way in. Heck, for fun lets have them play in tight sporting outfits so it's very clear what they are carrying and doing.

If Magnus destroys Niemann, he'll be able to pretty handily claim that Niemann can't win without communication to computers. If Niemann is competitive, or wins, it will be hard for Carlsen to make any more such claims.

And also, the sport will have a spectacle like we've never seen before. Tell me you wouldn't pay to watch that match!
> Indeed, there are many images of Sonic in the training dataset, however the generated images do not verbatim reproduce or otherwise plagiarize results from the training set above (I checked each one).

This understanding of plagiarism reminds me of what students tell me when I ask them why they thought they could paraphrase an uncited Wikipedia article as their paper, right before I report them to the dean's office.

It fits that the company running the search engine is known for their SEO tools.

I don't play either. The games I do play don't have much in the way of that sort of thing at all. And I think they're more fun games besides.
Chess.com, Carlsen's major sponsor (who just bought PlayMagnus), put out the following statement after banning Hans from the platform:

>The last few days have been tumultuous for many in the chess community. At this time, we have reached out to Hans Niemann to explain our decision to privately remove him from Chess.com and our events. We have shared detailed evidence with him concerning our decision, including information that contradicts his statements regarding the amount and seriousness of his cheating on Chess.com. We have invited Hans to provide an explanation and response with the hope of finding a resolution where Hans can again participate on Chess.com. We want nothing more than to see the best chess players in the world succeed in the greatest events. We will always act to protect the integrity of the game that we all love.

Seems like Chess.com has evidence of cheating and Hans hasn't responded to this directly.

I found a lot of value in The Middle Passage by James Hollis.
It doesn’t have a precise meaning to this model though - because everything it trained on was downscaled anyway, and because an image on the internet with “UHD” in the caption wasn’t necessarily UHD.
Cooool !

I like the fact it was announced only 6 months ago or something top and now it's in people's hands !
I went from Ericsson(GH688, T10) to Alcatel to Nokia to Siemens to iPhone 4s and have been using iPhones since then.

At what point was the timeframe when you threw away your iPhone because was not possible to repair on a high street repair shop? I never had and I don't know anyone who ever had an issue with repairing their iPhone. Was it at the iPhone 3G years?

My last repair was getting the battery and the front glass of my iPhone 6s that I still use as a secondary phone replaced. It cost me about 50$ if I recall correctly.
Teaching aside, what about the social benefits of starting out with a freshman cohort? My wife transferred from an out-of-state school to a school close to home, following a death in the family. She never made many friends at the new school, on account of having been housed on a freshman floor as a junior.

She probably has as many friends from her original college, which she attended for just one year — the crucial freshman year.

I'm not saying it's worth tens of thousands of dollars to network with other students, but if this is where lifelong friendships then it's worth considering the specifics.

Also, many students qualify for significant need/merit financial aid. For me, attending the #1 rated liberal arts college was only modestly more expensive than attending a UC, with in-state tuition. And need-based scholarships have only gotten more generous in the last couple decades, since I went to school. IIRC all the top schools cover your full costs if your family income is below $125k or so.
I don't think any of those "anime" images look like anime images.

Yes, we will allow those. In general we'll aim to be as transparent as possible, which we believe can give us a competitive advantage over other stablecoins [1]. I personally think that being a non-profit helps with being credible in that respect.

> a tortured term 20 years later

To me, it has helped to see postmodernism more as a literary term, rather than an epoch.

Postmodernists looked at the modernist hellscape and understood it completely: its mechanisms, its origins, its technology, its social dimensions. Then, rather than to draw the correct lessons, they threw up their hands in defeat and capitulated.

In the 2020s, we are still in the same modernist dystopia from the 70s, the wagon kept rolling down the exact same mountain as it has since then.
Ask HN: How do you find other fields problems?
Hello, I wonder how startups or good ideas creators, who are often people related with one specific field (for example Computer Science), find solutions to other fields problems (for example Medical ultrasound result verification). Are there good tools or solutions for that?
I think it's not as crazy as it sounds. You should visit SF and ride BART. You'll likely find the experience horrifying as a direct result of the behavior of these highly paid employees. The badness of the BART experience is a major cause of underinvestment. The public simply does not want more of that.

Interesting. I disagree with "more powerful" people the same way I disagree with anyone else: I state my disagreement and the reasons why I disagree.

The iPhone 14 more or less proves that you can build a device as thin and sleek as Apple and still have it reasonably repairable.

I think the same is true of Macbooks. There is no real reason that the SSD has to be soldered to the motherboard, Apple could easily put the NAND chips on a slim socketed daughterboard (they already do this on the Mac Studio).

I won't say that every laptop needs to be built like the Framework, but I do think that any component that could be considered a "wear item" (batteries, NAND flash, OLED screens) should be designed to be replaced.
That's an ugly sonic. It doesn't really look like "Ugly Sonic" though.

> I was hoping an online service would pop up where you can use someone else's hardware for a small fee and generate images.

This one charges but gives pretty good results at 512x512 - and in only a couple of seconds at that resolution. For more logo/cartoony stuff you can generally get a 10 step done in less than a second.

When I signed up a few weeks ago they gave 200 credits free (IIRC). After that it is $10 for another 1,000 credits (a credit gives 5 images at 10 step 512x512 or 1 image at 50 step 512x512).

Only thing to note is that after a while it slows down, but I realised that is because every image generated is going into an array in local storage in the browser. Using the browser's Inspect -> Application area to clear that array every 100 images or so sorted that out.
Plagiarism in art is more complicated than plagiarism in a thesis paper, especially since art is a creative field defined by inspiration and iteration.

I added that line because reproduction of the input dataset into an AI is a valid concern (such as reproducing a Getty Photos watermark), but that isn't happening here.
Sure. Being active online is one way to try to drum up expose if you're trying to make a career out of public speaking.

Which potentially has implications if your area of interest isn't inherently tied to the main polarization axis.
Neither deaths nor disability can be wished away by "just behaving as if it's normal".

As for "continuing lockdowns" - most of the western world hasn't had a single actual lockdown. So let's not pretend that's the issue, or a desired approach to the problem.

What is needed is

- data transparency, instead of reduced data collection.

- targeted measures, instead of blanket measures. Utilizing the above data, and focusing on leading indicators, not trailing ones.

- a medical system that actually makes the tools we have available, as opposed to undermining them and pricing them out of range.

- a focus on ventilation.

- a normalization of mask wearing in public indoor settings.

None of those are close to "lockdowns". That's a strawman nobody is asking for.
When Did the U.S. Last Default on Treasury Bonds?(2011)

One real issue I've seen on Reddit is people mistake the debugging tools as actually (unfinished) gameplay UI. There are lots of people angry that GTA is copying Watch Dogs, because Watch Dogs has a game mechanic that looks similar to how these debug elements look.
> But despite the existence of all these variants and other games, people still predominantly continue to play 'Chess', with its classic starting position and rules, and I would suggest that one of the things that keeps drawing people back is that there is sufficient "space" in the game for life-long learning, while providing a common and stable "interface" that allows everyone to exchange knowledge and build up a shared experience of learning and mastery.

Very well said. This is exactly why I prefer traditional Chess. I really enjoy the rich platform I can dig into for years and years. I'm not likely to ever pursue becoming a GM and I don't mind.
I hope there's an in-game character that can continue the woodchuck chucking conversation.

3 4 and the Telltalle series... you won't miss much. But 1 and 2 are why this game launch made it even to HN.
Figured it out. Check their basket, while the guy starts talking go pick up bread.
Mythbusting here: There were three separate incidents in Kasparov - Deep Blue 1997, that often get conflated.

The bug move (a rook) was in game 1. It was inconsequential to the game result. The position was already lost for Deep Blue. It made a random move because everything had the same outcome of losing. The bugged move simply made it lose sooner. Kasparov knew this and there was no controversy.

In game 2, Kasparov set a trap, offering a sacrifice of two pawns for great positional improvement. Kasparov thought Deep Blue couldn't calculate far enough ahead to see the positional improvement, but it did. This made Kasparov suspect and accuse IBM of human intervention in the computer's moves.

The fatal move (a knight sacrifice by Deep Blue) was in game 6. Kasparov deliberately played an opening with a known weakness, that he thought the computer wouldn't find as it wouldn't sacrifice material and calculate far enough ahead to see the positional advantage. Deep Blue found it. Kasparov again accused IBM of human intervention. The Deep Blue team then said they had added this variation into its opening database just before that game, pre-analyzing that line deeper since Kasparov had previously played it in game 4. There was some dispute as to whether the rules for the competition were intended to allow IBM to modify Deep Blue during the match.
There are two possibilities. Either Hans Niemann cheated, or he didn't. If he cheated, we will never know, unless he confesses. If he didn't cheat, it would be humiliating for Carlsen.

In any case, chess tournaments need to increase their security to make even the mere appearance of cheating impossible.
Didn’t he make a statement on Twitter? I’m not saying Twitter is formal or anything but are we gatekeeping what is a statement? Or did I just hear wrong?
All parts are 'potentially stolen', that's just a scary thing that John Deere and Apple says to justify their first-party stranglehold on repairs. Louis Rossmann and co. use donor parts for repairs all the time. If they own and can unlock the donor Macbook/iPhone, they should be able to attest that the device is being used for parts/repair and disable the protection. I see no potential for abuse here, and it prevents more iPhones from becoming landfill. Win/win, since Apple cares about the environment so much!

If I own my device and can enter the password on it, I should be able to decide which software features are enabled and disabled. That shouldn't be a controversial opinion.

Magnus either needs to come forward with evidence that Hans cheated against him at St. Louis or take his L and move on. I like Magnus but this behavior is just embarrassing.
It's more or less what StarCraft II has been doing throughout its entire existence. Every couple months (more like years these days) there's a balance patch that slightly tweaks some units' stats, like build time, cost, damage output, tags (e.g. light, armored, which makes it good/bad vs something else) etc. It doesn't have a huge impact on the casual player audience, but it's enough to stir up the metagame at GM/pro level, and ensure pros continue to devise new strategies (and counters).
I don't think an analogy is meant to be factually equivalent, it is meant to convey meaning. I perfectly understood the meaning of the parent comment, even if it is technically inaccurate.

We aren't trying to understand minds or caches, we're trying to encourage a practice that has little to do with the inner workings of either.
Secure DRM requires that your device have keys that are burned-in that you can't access. It's impossible to have an open implementation of a non-broken DRM system.
I didn't provide any because I knew you had no interest. But back on topic, what are your thoughts about wasting a minimum of 64TWh/yr?
Fyi communication is not needed to cheat. Modern chess engines capable of high level play and assistance can be extremely small and concealable.
The number also appears to include 'upstream' energy usage, things like how much energy was used to transport food to you. How much energy to produce the items you consume. I imagine raw household electrical usage is only a small fragment of this.
Many top players seem pretty unhinged. Hikaru or Magnus don't seem like they would be a good friend.
CPUs have logic, and programs can do reasoning. And that's now how the brain works (if you mean generalization).
How much of all this could be just building-up the hype that'll end with a bigger payday for both?
You may gladly pay, and I'll bet they'll happily take the money you'll now pay.
Money that a business spends on salary, or on other products and services, continues to circulate in the economy; either the employees then spend a large portion of it on housing, food, etc, or the service providers use it to pay their employees, pay for their own services, etc.

Some profit is later spent on other things, but most of it goes is comparatively unproductive in the broader economy.

This is one reason that worker co-ops and employee profit sharing are so good for the economy; when profit is shared among workers, that profit is more likely to go back into the economy and circulate among other businesses and workers.

I suspect the point of "oceanic shipping lanes they have no ability to control or secure without the US Navy" is "shipping lanes they cannot secure FROM the US Navy".

> Why isn’t Tim Cook bragging about repairability?

This is Apple, they totally would have. If the flagship was also similarly repairable.

As it is, this is making the 14 more appealing to me than the 14 Pro.
What could Magnus say that would satisfy you, exactly? "Niemann is definitely not cheating" would be silly. "I think he's cheating" would be terrible. "Let's allow the governing bodies to investigate" would be the status quo.

What kind of statement should he make?
I'm sure you'd be a lot happier with him if he accused the guy of cheating with no evidence. Carlsen thinks he's cheating and doesn't want to play with him; it might be soap opera, but it's not assault. If you don't want to be accused of cheating with no concrete evidence, don't get caught cheating.

It's obvious that he's a world-class player, but it's his responsibility alone to get past that bad reputation. Even after time passes and he gets away from it, people will still use it as a pretext to screw with him. But he earned that black mark just as much as he earned his playing skill.

The smart move for Niemann is to be absurdly graceful about this, and eventually, hopefully, get Carlsen on his side (or at least neutral.)
