Yeah, bakeries are energy intensive. Methane generation from sewage would be one way to (relatively quickly^) replace some of the natural gas that was coming from Russia. And as a side benefit fertilizer could be produced from the same sewage.

There are ways to nudge out dimensions with specific meaning (or create dimensions with specific meaning, since you can have a exactly equivalent space with some linear transform) - I recall seeing research for adjusting face generation models to have explicit sliders for certain categories like length of hair, masculinity, shape of nose, etc; so it should be reasonably straightforward (as in, require a bunch of work and tuning but no breakthroughs) to have a specific explicitly tunable "high-res vs low-res" or "detailed vs sketch" or "photorealistic vs drawn" parameters in addition to the prompt.

Woah, you have?? Odd -- software engineers, anyway, are literally paid to think.

Chill out guys - I know its pretty redundant. It was actually a showcase of Outerbridge - the automation tool. This workflow was kinda experimental inspired by this Reid Hoffman - cofounder of LinkedIn where he sold a series of NFTs generated via DALLE - https://twitter.com/reidhoffman/status/1550163437656739840.

Taking NFT aside, you can use Outerbridge for other automation workflows involving Web3 and Web3 applications.

Ask HN: Balancing privacy, openness and usability in personal computing?
Since my laptop and smartphone are getting on there in age and need to be replaced, I have been doing a lot of thinking on personal computing in today's day and age.

For context, I have used a variety of operating systems in the past (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac OS X, and various flavors of Linux). I'm currently using Android, iPadOS and Windows.

The way I see it, there are today three OS combinations/ecosystems in personal computing:

- Google (Android) + Microsoft (Windows). This ecosystem is terrible for privacy; I find myself constantly looking for ways to reduce my dependence on Google's services.

- Apple (iOS + macOS). This ecosystem is still not very private, but it's an order of magnitude better than Google's [1]. However, the walls of the walled garden are very high (no ability to sideload apps, no browser extensions in non-Safari browsers).

- FLOSS (Linux + Google-less Android distribution). This is the golden standard for both privacy and openness, far outstripping Google and Apple. However, installing software such as paid smartphone apps is impossible, and there is no good alternative to Chromecast/AirPlay.

In other words, Google's ecosystem is lacking privacy, Apple's is lacking openness, and the FLOSS ecosystem is lacking usability. This has caused me quite a bit of distress as I find myself lacking a good direction to take my personal computing in.

How is everyone on HN dealing with this dilemma?

Top athletes have a history of having mental breakdowns as they realize they've aged and no longer can dominate as they once had. Famously, Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear off during a match, but there are other examples like Serena Williams' berating of the umpire during her loss to Naomi Osaka. It's always a bit sad / pathetic to see adults lose their cool when losing to a child.
technically, a video of someone kneeling on a man's neck for 9 minutes, while the man says "I can't breathe", then loses consciousness, then dies, is "evidence" per se, even if you don't personally find it dispositive. So I think when you say "no evidence", you are exaggerating to fit a certain narrative.
the grid is meant to show the effects of different settings on the final image. Each row is a different seed, and each column is a different guidance scale - from 0, 50, 100 -> 500

The first human who discovered that they could draw something on a wall probably also got bored after a while.

And thought "I assume this will have the most usage as a once in a while tool to decorate my cave with funny animals".

But then drawing animals turned into writing. Turned into printing. Turned into emails and the web and the web 2.0 and now here we are, sending our thoughts across the world with the speed of light. Using software that we wrote to tell computers how to do this for us.

It might be similar with AI driven image generation. That it evolves in ways that are currently hard to foresee. Maybe one day, our thoughts are translated in realtime into images and send across the galaxy with the speed of light. Or faster?
It's rather bold to lay out the FTC's case to block this acquisition, then argue that they shouldn't. The point of antitrust isn't to make sure companies have a pound of flesh exacted or acquirees get rich - it's so companies can't use their market cap to monopolize industries and jack up prices to consumers.
> It's not as if there's some big vault full of cash that we can draw from to pay for nursing homes.

I'm talking about productive capacity in the economy, not cash in a vault. It exists. Instead of battering workers with higher taxes, try taxing companies more directly. They're the ones benefiting the most from productivity increases. Tax land value, since real estate prices also benefit from productivity increases in rich metro areas.

> That money is currently being spent on or invested in other things

If you pay care workers more money, they will also spend or invest it. It's not just stacks of dollar bills going into a furnace.

Do you have a source for this? AppleCare+ for a MacBook Air is $250. You can get a 4 year 3rd party extended warranty for a similarly priced laptop off Amazon for $170. Presumably they make money off this but don't have advantages that Apple does like at cost repair parts.

Are Apple products such garbage or so hard to repair that shorter more expensive warranties lose money? Seriously?

I don’t think the government should be involved in student loans at all. If people could file for bankruptcy and banks had to do their job it seems like many of these issues would be solved. If a bank was going to provide a student loan that they wanted paid back they would look at:
* what the graduation rate of your major is and what the average annual income is for your major
* your GPA, test scores, and other factors that can be used to predict graduation rate
* the cost of the university and how likely your are to be able to repay that amount given the above

I don’t think the free market is perfect, but it seems apt to handle most of these issues without resulting in all of the issues people currently have with student loans.
Very true; albeit be warned that the job will most often than not be fairly dull work and not as financially rewarding as a career path in the private sector. While yes, it can be selective, it's not especially intimidating to go through the process. The investigators are regular people such as you're a regular person yourself.
I see a lot of sites (including those behind Cloudflare) being blocked when using Cloudfare's Warp VPN. 403s, captchas, etc.

It would be nice if Cloudflare could put abuse control measures on the front-side, and stop the abuse before allowing it to exit their VPN. E.g., if Cloudflare detects abuse with their existing anti-DDoS, anti-scraping, etc. measures, and the client is on Warp, instead of creating a poor experience for every other Warp user sharing that exit IP, just block/aggressively throttle the bad actor's traffic at the VPN terminator.
I've never understood why this isn't a more common approach.

JDBC is an old standard, but it's also perfectly functional. The addition of try-with-resources has made it fairly terse once you know your way around it.

And half the time with an ORM, you are trying to figure out what SQL is ultimately being generated and tweaking to get what you want. So, cut that middle layer out and just write what you want.

"giving someone a free win"

In chess, people don't care as much about who won or lost, as they do about... I'm not sure exactly. It might be the specific tactic they used, or prescient intuition somebody showed, or the possibility of a move they saw but nobody else did, etc. But the point is they care about the playing of the game. It's a much different affair with most physical sports. There are so many possibilities, so many "moving parts", so much room for randomness to set in, that you can't really care nearly as much about exactly "how" anybody played a physical game. The winning and the loosing is really all you're left with.

In chess, games are recorded move by move. You can literally buy a book and read exactly how dozens (hundreds?) of major chess games played out. And you'll be reading exactly how they played out. Every single relevant detail of the entire match is there, in a textual format, that you or anyone else can learn from. In physical sports you rarely get more than who won X major tournament each year, or what a team's win / loss ratio was. That's it. There are so vastly many more variables going in on a physical sports game that it is inconceivable to record exactly how they played out.

Anyway, I think this and similar reasons, are why somebody "giving" away a win is hardly relevant. Who it was that won is hardly worth knowing. How they won, what strategy they employed, or what mental weakness the loser exhibited, are what everyone is really hankering for. By throwing the game he robbed everyone of what they are really after: knowledge. And not knowledge like "who won" but knowledge of "how do you win at chess against the best player in the world". Because in chess, and other games of pure mental gymnastics, anybody can employ that same knowledge in their next game.

I have just a couple of friends who run full marathons on a regular basis. One of them just died this year, probably due to heart condition, one day after a marathon. He has no other ailments we knew of.

It’s anecdotal, yes, but coupled with some research and other medical advice I’ve read, running marathons or longer distance too often and aiming for a competitive time likely has long-term negative effects on your health.

(Note: The etymology of ‘marathon’ also gives a small hint of this, though obviously Pheidippides ran in a very different condition from modern marathons.

Technically drug use (at least of the kind commonly done by this demographic) is a crime ;-) but of course I agree that criminal laws aren't always logical or moral.

I'm given to understand that harm reduction clinics and secular drug rehabs already exist in San Francisco? That might be wrong. But either way, since the taxpayers of SF are already funding a variety of homelessness-related programs run by the city to the tune of $60k per year per homeless person, those programs absolutely need to come with strings attached, if nothing else to be able to prove to the taxpayers that the programs are successful.

But the policy in the city (and I'm not saying that you are in support of this) has evolved to the point that the very desired outcome of harm-reduction or drug rehab -- that is, reducing drug abuse and dependency -- is infringing on the right of the homeless to behave as they wish, often with the justification that nobody complains about wealthy people doing drugs. At that point, taxpayers are just paying homeless people to do drugs with the side benefit of paying city workers who administer the programs.
There have been instances in chess where cheaters get caught and they receive light bans and many top players say the punishment is too weak. It's intuitive, if you've been caught cheating then you should be banned from competitive chess. I think that's more likely what Magnus thinks.
One possible explanation is that cheating is a serious charge, and he's a chess player and probably wants to avoid getting involved in rules enforcement.

Also, he probably doesn't want to get sued.

> random politicians who say anything outside of mainstream, American leftwing political ideology are "nazis"

> its a form of holocaust denial

This is nonsensical and self-contradictory. People on the far right today are compared to Nazis because they are articulating the exact same ideas of genocidal elimination, sometimes with explicit reference to and endorsement of the Nazis. you're invoking 'random politicians' as if they were quirky nobodies in unimportant political backwaters, but this is demonstrably not the case. I can point to members of Congress and and successful state level politicians that openly endorse far right anti-Semitic propagandists.

> What I would say is: please study history. The nazis weren't just some bad guys. They tried to kill several entire races of people, and erase their existence from history. They succeeding in killing a lot of them before we were able to stop them.

It's because I've studied history that I think you are (at best) staggeringly naive. The Nazis were clear about the intensity of their animus towards Jews and lots of other groups, but not explicit about how they were going to achieve their goals of eradication (because they didn't know). As a result few took them particularly seriously at first, and even when they took power foreign observers assumed they would set aside their bombastic demagoguery in favor of mundane administrative efforts. The same sort of unwillingness to contemplate political risks obtains now, and it is just as foolish.

In the main menu of the game, there's a "scrapbook" feature with a brief history of Guybrush Threepwood's adventures if you haven't played the earlier editions.

But the game (as far as I played it so far) contains a lot of characters and jokes that might be more fun if you've played the earlier ones.

If you want to play them, there are "special editions" of the first two in Steam. They have improved graphics and voice acting, with the option of switching to the original graphics and back with the press of a button.

> but I never in my life purchased a brand new device with intention or plan to repair it

We all expect our devices to work forever and never break while we are still using them.

Yes, Apple handles the repairs, but they are _expensive_. If you are not in the US, chances are that some 'authorized' third party will repair it. So now you are into 'expensive' and potentially dodgy territory. I've seen substandard repairs over the years. One common issue is that a repair is done but FaceID (or Touch ID) no longer works.

Repair shops manage to repair some things but many repairs are not economically viable. A phone that's easy to repair is also cheaper to repair.

Case in point: you have to take your phone to a repair shop to replace the battery (unless you are pretty handy yourself). That costs money. When phones had removable batteries, repair labor cost was $0. Just get a new battery and replace yourself, in seconds.
