>This age of modernity is characterized by consistent growth in energy use, economic activity, and resource consumption, and a generally increasing standard of living—albeit inequitably distributed.

This paper states this as though it is desirable and inevitable. There's no reason human society needs to keep expanding like a cancer or a virus. Sustainability is both possible and desirable. This isn't to suggest we shouldn't explore and/or colonize other worlds, but it is to suggest that constant growth is not intrinsically beneficial. Many of the most serious problems we face as a society are a direct result of overpopulation and "growth".
That doesn't follow, and it seems doubtful whether it ever happened.

Google has received court orders about other user data like Gmail, but have they ever gotten a court order about Google Analytics? That data isn't associated with Google accounts, and I doubt law enforcement would know what to ask for.
I’m an idealist, I believe space time is a creation of human minds etc. So take this as constructive criticism.

Science exists to help us understand the universe so please don’t talk out of your ass like this. Religion is at an all time low because the religious talk out of their ass about easy to disprove shit like this. God doesn’t rely on trickery he’s the greatest architect their ever was.

So yeah, we most certainly know how the sense of smell works this is HN half of us write classifiers for fun or profit.
I think the problem is not the debt, because credit allows for growth to people that don't have enough capital. Maybe problem here is the source of this money, now banks basically create money from nothing, so you can pump a lot of empty money into economy that was not created by being productive. Before that you basically were lending to someone else what you earned yourself.
Here's a comment that I made in a past thread.

I think he means one where all the components are selected because they are well supported by Linux drivers, and dispensing with x86 only components. That would indeed be useful. I would even pre-install Ubuntu on it and then users can replace with ____ (insert favorite distro here). You can be sure that the vast majority of people using a distro other than Ubuntu know how to install it.

Edit: It looks like they did indeed put it together with Linux in mind: https://frame.work/nl/en/linux
Love seeing more projects focused on using SQL to query many things. It is a common and familiar language to query and report.

I help lead an open source project https//steampipe.io which can query CSV with SQL, among 85+ other endpoints like cloud providers, SaaS APIs, code, logs and more using SQL to query and join data: https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins

For android and web development with its matured linux subsystem it works really great, even audio/midi apps like reaper run as linux apps so its surprisingly powerful and of course a lot better than windows, on the right hardware it can be nicer than macos in terms of being open and able to code on it.
Low performer here. This is absolutely true. I cannot figure out how I was not let go even a year ago so asked the Director about it in 1:1 and she flat out said they can’t hire so it doesn’t matter.
Good point. We would have no interest in paying for or managing SSO. Sorry for not being articulate.

My point is that since Decipad is not a client app that creates documents on the file system, my recommendation would be to integrate with the Office 365 ecosystem to gain SSO with Office 365 so that our users could easily navigate to Decipad. For us, that would be table stakes.
I've had many critical bugs, including the video on/off & audio mute button failing during calls, the "join call" UI being broken / missing, join links being broken despite working for other callers.

This really is the root of all of this, and why we will really never be able to get through the lineup of sealions that will say "please explain to me..." every time you try.

The reasons something is a currency is because it is backed up by the power of the state. This includes (but is not limited to) the recognition of its status as legal tender within a the realm of a state, the ability to pay taxes in it, and also the very real guns and batons wielded by said state to enforce said authority.

There is no such thing as a currency that is not backed by some state, or at least some entity enjoying the broad authorities of a state. Tether (along with literally every single crypto product out there) does not.

But because primarily crypto was invented to snooker people who find the entire concept of state authority to be objectionable, this fact will never quite land.
> other metrics suffer (time to interactive, TTFB and several other metrics are primary examples).

This is only true for a fraction of sites - the ones I work on are content heavy and use progressive enhancement so TTFB is how long it takes a CDN cache hit to transfer, and since you’re using so much less JavaScript in the critical path they’re less affected by network latency and device performance. Obviously that hits a different trade off than an app which has to have dynamic functionality to meaningfully load and lots of user-specific features are going to lower cache effectiveness.

As always, you get what you measure: pick metrics which matter for your business and get as much as possible get your data from real users so you don’t waste time chasing something people don’t care about. It’s too easy to focus on, say, making your search page as fast as you can when you should be asking whether you have what they’re looking for and surfacing it for them.

"Post" crash? If you think what we've seen is the crash you have no idea what's coming.
Creating a drawing based on an image clearly falls in the existing derivative work.

The "what is a model" and "what is the copyright status of the output of the model" are questions that have yet to be settled from the legal standpoint.

That Getty has images available for viewing with a watermark and that watermark is reproduced kind of in some results from model generated images suggests that the model was trained on images that were not licensed as the people who created the model claimed.

I'll also point to the "I created images from Stable Diffusion that are clearly the cover image from 'Never Gonna Give You Up'" suggests that images aren't as impossible to extract as one would believe from a model.

Copyright and derivative works is ultimately the domain of humans looking at laws - not deterministic machines. The case is argued by humans and before humans. A lawyer can and will make a case that the model itself is a derivative work and that the images produced by it have the possibility of being identified as mechanical modifications of existing works and therefore derivative themselves - just as a photograph of a painting is a derivative work of the painting.

If the output of the ML model can be identified as having major copyrightable elements from an existing original work, then it is derivative - no matter how it got there.

So, returning to your question. If you draw the exact same image based on an image hosted and licensed by Getty - it certainly will be a derivative work and violate copyright.
What was your process in deciding to pursue this and bring the product to market?

How did you see the niche and do you still see it the same way now it is here?

What do you consider to be the value proposition for potential customers of this product?

What is your assessment of the TAM?

Do you have limits on how many differentiated products you are willing to pursue simultaneously in the market?
It's a natural side effect of adoption. Slack and other messaging apps are typically adopted organically by the end-user . They are "sold" via good product experience. Teams on the other hand is adopted by IT administrators who receive the product bundled an appreciate the ease of activation over the user experience.

Is it bad? It's the best meeting tool my company has ever used.

The things you're asking it to do seem normal, but each of those things is a different device with a different context. It's not surprising to me that it's hard to switch contexts.

I regularly start meetings on my home WiFi and then get in a vehicle and switch to cellular data. I've only have had short interruptions, which is MUCH better than most tools I've used.
At least it doesn’t totally change the UI and hide all important elements when you start a screen share (Zoom).

My experience has been pretty positive overall, at least for calling. Channels don’t work as well as slack, but it’s decent.

The big trick is to run it in a browser so you avoid any electron overhead. It is fully featured in browser.
What are your thoughts on the generally slower launch times with a huge variance on GCP?
Until it stops you from getting insurance. Or flags you to border control.

But that isn't happening, and won't ever, right? Right?
i was at google when the pandemic started. it was certainly a difficult change for a lot of people, but IMO those aren't the people that should be targeted. it's the ones who were worthless/coasting well before the pandemic and/or have no real excuses for their lack of performance since. at least for the first 6 months of the pandemic (when I left google), Google was VERY considerate of employees and their difficult situations.
> GCP allows you to attach a GPU to an arbitrary VM as a hardware accelerator - you can separately configure quantity of the CPUs as needed.

That would seem to indicate that asking for a VM on GCP gets you a minimally configured VM on basic hardware, and then it gets migrated to something bigger if you ask for more resources. Is that correct?

That could make sense if, much of the time, users get a VM and spend a lot of time loading and initializing stuff, then migrate to bigger hardware to crunch.
Probably less gullible than before
I work at Google and am strongly in favor of this vs pretty much any alternative. I'd be in favor even if I were one of the people on a dissolved team. Hard for me to see how this is bad for employees.
I use teams, slack and zoom for video conferencing. Of all of them zoom is the best imho. (Not that I'm a fan of any of them). It seems to just work the most. Slack has weird issues with screen sharing only working sometimes apart from that it's not bad. Teams randomly doesn't launch and for the past month the calendar integration has vanished with no sign of return. Why are they so bad? It's Microsoft. Everything they do is bad these days. Hell earlier today I tried to block pushes from admins to a GitHub repo could I find the button? Nope. In Gitlab it's a drop-down.

A study from 1985 found that:

The authors also submitted different test studies to different peer-review boards. The methodology was identical, and the variable was that the purported findings either went for, or against, the liberal worldview (for example, one found evidence of discrimination against minority groups, and another found evidence of "reverse discrimination" against straight white males). Despite equal methodological strengths, the studies that went against the liberal worldview were criticized and rejected, and those that went with it were not. [1]

In 1985 in social psychology, liberals outnumbered conservatives 4 to 1. In 2012, it reached 14 to 1 [1]. If the research was biased even in 1985, imagine how bad it must be now, with a faculty 3x more politically biased. Now add the diversity statements on top of that.

Regardless of constitutionality, it boggles the mind social science has any credibility left.

Apparently you're right... though the "black image" is a poor description of the image.
Because it doesn't need to improve. It just needs to check some checkboxes. It's "free" as part of Microsoft Office 365. It allows the IT department to check a checkbox and de-incentivize them from looking at Slack. With Slack you have to pay for and is yet another app to administer. Many IT departments who are already Microsoft customers will have an easier time rolling that out than a new app. No new purchase order nor legal review. Microsoft just needs to suck the air out of Slack to "win". Any additional investment by Microsoft is wasted.
I think part of the problem with that is just how far away Neptune is.

Getting a probe like New Horizons to do a flyby requires a massive rocket. But to also have it be capable of slowing down to enter orbit and stick around means either it was moving slower on it's path to get there (so it takes a lot longer) or it has to carry a huge amount of fuel to burn to slow down (so it takes an even bigger rocket).

Neither option is great.
Google's position (https://blog.google/around-the-globe/google-europe/its-time-...), which broadly aligns with my own understanding of the situation, is that this is a proxy battle and the only real solution is to negotiate a new EU-US privacy shield. The premise of these decisions isn't that Google itself has any known privacy or security issues, but that any servers which are physically located in the US can't be trusted under EU privacy laws.

Yes — the photo is a particular moment from that speech. Obviously characteristics of the photo change with a different camera.

You’re outright lying that the lighting is different: they immediately dim the lights at the start of that video to get the dark red scene.

I have some serious questions why you’re trying to get people to “ignore their lying eyes” and dismissing people who are pointing out that photo matches the scene intentionally created at the start of the video as trolls.

I don’t find that genuine.
Nope. People were arrested at public events that were not funerals. Unless you're redefining "state funeral" in some new way?
I think we're saying different things. If I'm reading correctly, you're saying that most people don't need to itemize and can take the standard deduction, and I certainly agree. I'm saying that OP will need to report even a small amount of income from crypto mining since their income (not itemized deductions) will be more than the standard deduction and the crypto mining will cause them to owe additional income tax.

I think it is more complex than that. AMD uses TSMC foundaries to make their chips and has to compete with nVidia and Apple for capacity. Intel can guarentee their yields because they own their foundaries.

No, they don't. You are either genuinely confused or engaging in that tiresome crypto game of "well, if we pretend sovereign states (or even Hong Kong like entities) were the same as a corporation, then logically..." Sure. But they aren't, so it doesn't matter. Wishing this weren't true isn't really interesting.
Here’s what I’ve observed as a senior manager:

First, it’s important to understand that managers are held to outcomes. If a manager retains low performers because “they’re friends”, over time they’ll find themselves with a low performing team and it will be visible in their results. At that stage they are now at the bottom of their manager’s stack-ranking process. Retain and promote your low-performing friends at your peril.

Of course, if you believe your entire management chain to be incompetent, perhaps those managers will never be held to account. But if you hold that view there’s no reason to believe anything is functional, let alone promotions, and I’d explore other employment opportunities if you can.
I think nonguix also uses equivalent machinery for its Steam package: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/blob/master/nongnu/pack...

Apparently there is an rpm-ostree-friendly RPM build of Nix that can be used to install Nix on Silverblue as well: https://github.com/nix-community/nix-installers/pull/8

It includes some code to get around the group/user management quirks that some other commenters have noted b0rked the Guix installer with Silverblue, so perhaps it gives an outline of how to install Guix on Silverblue for a hacker who'd like to try it :)

The fact that nobody cares is a lack of enforcement (and exemptions for import for personal use) due to low priority, but it does not mean that it is legal to sell unlocked/unrestricted walkie-talkies in EU - it is not, at least not in all EU countries.

For example, last year there was an explicit prohibition on sales of Baofeng UV-5R in Germany (https://www.bnetza-amtsblatt.de/download/72) and Poland and probably other countries due to out of band emissions causing radio interference.
Genuinely curious what you think crash means. 2021 definitely inflated our stock market way too much but we're definitely within reasonable corrected zone IMO. What should we expect as a crash? Even with the Great recession, we're looking at a 27% drawdown so we're about halfway there?
No transcripts, no. And recent episodes, within the past couple of weeks, so probably not part of the training either.
One thing they don't touch much on is the STT, as they use models from third parties. You could definitely do something that utilizes this model and then feeds the tokens to some of their parsing code. I've been working on something similar to this, but burned out around adding the STT portion [0].

The “just good enough” doesn’t always work out for MS.

We Teams as part of whatever bundle MS pushes for OS, Office etc, but no one uses Teams, we use zoom. A few people use slack, but it’s not pervasive.

Seeing what's happened with Figma, I think it's important to have at least one other major player. There's always a market for an alternative to <dominant player>, and they are more suited to smaller companies looking to reduce expenditure that can tolerate a maybe less mature (fewer integrations etc.) and less familiar product, but with a better support turn around, and maybe even a stake in driving product features
