Yes.

We had a Greens candidate here running for election, and his main campaign promise was to shut down a 10+ billion dollar motorway underpass that was 99% completed at the time of the election.

His approach for "saving the environment" is to convert efficient motorway travel into inefficient stop-start traffic. And to throw away tens of billions of dollars of already spent resources.
Getting a paid a lovit wage to stand around in air conditioning is pretty good if you can get it.
With several thousand images on each, I agree with this -- to a degree.

Dall-E does seem more aware of relationships among things, but using parens and careful word order in some of the SD builds can beat it. By contrast, even most failed images from MidJourney could still be in an outsider art gallery. MJ aesthetic works, while Dall-E seems like a 9 year old was taken hostage and clipped out Rapunzel and the paper shredder from magazines and pasted them onto a ransom note.

That said, I have not been able to get any of Dall-E, MJ, or SD to give me a coherent black Ford Excursion towing a silver camping trailer on the surface of the moon beneath an earthrise.

At cost per image, I could pay to get complex concepts such as this rendered via any number of art-for-hire sites at less expense and guaranteed results.

This is used extensively in classrooms. Providing this standalone editor that "just works" is more appealing in such scenarios than asking students to use vscode with extensions

Are you referring to ads pulled in through the air?
......what? Do you mean as in there is a cryptocurrency that pays out for creating wireless signal coverage or maintaining a node/repeater?
Can you link to the bug? I'm down to using Chrome _only_ for google meet at work, now that all my streaming services work just fine in FF.

Isn't it curious how audio works fine when it's from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc but when using a Google property (Google Meet) suddenly it doesn't work under Firefox... curious indeed.
I'm referring to a setup like this:

where the hot and cold water come out in two different places.
1. We are about to replace the composer in Element with a sparkly new (optional) wysiwyg editor in the coming weeks: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-wysiwyg

2. totally agreed. we are completely reworking the crypto UX; there’s already https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/8228 asa proof of concept of what’s to come.

3. glad you like Cinny - it’s written by ajbura, whose dayjob is at Element and built the UI for Third Room. Element is not “the official app” - it’s just the one that happens to be written by folks from the Matrix core team. If you prefer Cinny, knock yourself out. Meanwhile we’re frantically improving Element too.
Exactly matches my experience
It makes the adblockers fight with one hand behind their back, tilting the balance in the cat and mouse game towards the attackers.

Google is an empire built on advertising: scams and malware, so their evil has always been present. But right now we have an easy way to protect ourselves. Manifest v3 is exposing that evil to technologically-minded people.

I will have to switch my parents over to Firefox or Brave to keep them safe online.
Given that Second Life is still around - just stagnated - what makes so many people think that now is the time the Metaverse is going to work? If this was going to work... wouldn't it be working right now in the existing version of it that is Second Life? What's different?
I had a friend with both; I always prefered to play with LEGO at his house.
The difference to me is that Depot is giving you what is effectively a dedicated build machine. That machine can take advantage of local BuildKit caching.

With Cloud Build, you need to use —-cache-from and other amendments to leverage remote caching. (And I believe that caching multi-stage builds require you to explicitly bush and push every stage.)

With Depot, you should in theory get all of that caching “for free”. You can also take advantage of things like BuildKit cache mounts (local directories on the host machine to cache, e.g., pip install artifacts) which AFAIK can’t be done with Cloud Build.

(No affiliation with Depot but I have played around with it.)
I'm the exact opposite.
I find the Arduino ide totally unusable. It takes forever to start up. Every operation is slow.
It can take over ten seconds to open a small file and display it on an top of the line 12th gen Intel laptop

It literally recompiles all code on every verify or upload (because "we don't want lots of machine objects littering hard disks")

So on any of the mbed based boards compiles are like a minute or two for anything. On platformio and other compatible ways, it is instant.

So even for basic messing around I don't use the Arduino ide because it makes it not fun

Dupe:

Discussed extensively yesterday (137 comments): <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32995975>
What to recalibrate on,
is that this is what a well funded $580 million revenue per quarter org looks like. You could certainly build a leaner org, with just 50 engineers, and way fewer features, but it's not going to be the industry stronghold that DocuSign is, not without some sort of competitive advantage (like when the Internet was new and you're competing as against companies that haven't digitized yet, but even then).
>more importantly to certain companies involved, the ability to block tracking cookies and request metadata will be almost entirely removed.

Right, that's precisely what I mean. Trackers are a privacy issue, not an "ad" issue.

>I don't know if users of ad blockers make this distinction.

Contrary to what people on HN think, the absolute majority of users care little about tracking and a lot about whether there's a huge banner ad in the middle of their content. MV3 does comparatively little to affect the latter (which can be removed through cosmetic blocking). Most users use adblockers purely to get rid of ads.

>gorhill's comments here indicate many issues remain with MV3 and that it still fails to meet his own requirements.

Right, that's my point. Tech news sites just running specifically gorhill's comments through an "underpaid intern" filter and then printing them, without actually explaining or probably even understanding them. Gorhill is complaining loudly because it makes his specific software worse, and everyone interprets this as "Google getting rid of adblockers".
I don't know the answer here but I am instantly skeptical whenever the notion is put forward that some complex topic or idea is inherently reduceable.
I feel that second life needed some sort of property tax system to prevent endless stale sprawl and promote a lively city center.
Oh, okay. Thought this was some kind of SEO wizardry or YouTuber or something. Thanks!

Collecting and keeping this data is a regulatory requirement for Optus.

The problems with this breach have their roots in how identity is proven and verified in Australia. Far too much relies on possession of a physical document.

Example: In Chrome 69, Google made it so that each time you sign in and use a Google service like Gmail, Maps or YouTube, your Google account will be automatically logged in to the Chrome browser.

There were outrage but Google had provided a flag to turn it off. It was in chrome://flags/#account-consistency.

Edit: Google removed the flag shortly after.
Third Room isn’t remotely trying to be decentralised Second Life. It’s trying to be a blank canvas for building interoperable spatial apps - that could be something like Figma, or 3D Figma, or visualising 3D data, or anything. The Tech Preview just does the typical Second Life / Hubs style social hangout experience, but the intention is to be a generic building standards-based building block for secure decentralised spatial collaboration.
Sort of. First, you can turn off a bunch of auto-play previews and the fact that it shows you stuff you haven't added to your "Up Next" list via the System Prefs. I have done this successfully and I no longer get any animated previews of videos I'm not interested in.

The AppleTV app (which you don't need to use) itself shows what shows you're watching and if you scroll down or across the categories at the top shows you what shows are on all channels it knows about. That's significantly less problematic than showing ads for arbitrary products. It does know what you've watched because it does stuff like launching the apps for you, and I wouldn't be surprised if they use that data internally. I've never seen an outright ad on my AppleTV other than when watching videos on an app that has ads (YouTube, for example).

I have found the ability to see all shows on all channels at once very useful for deciding if I want another service or not. I also sometimes see a show is available on service X, decide I don't want that service, and check to see if I can buy or rent just that one show (or movie) on iTunes. The answer is yes as often as not. Very handy!
I've been using Depot since the early days (I don't know Kyle or Jacob, just stumbled across it)

It's superb. It's a drop-in replacement for `docker build` on my M1 Macbook and on GitHub Actions. I really like that they use OIDC for auth in the latter, so I don't have to provision credentials. Of course I also like that builds are 3-4x faster.

I have to admit though that the pricing model doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It's $25/mo/project, but what's to stop me from using one project for multiple, unrelated Docker images? It's a relatively small cost for saving me time, but it's still big enough that I have slight hesitation to spin up more projects.
Why do I get the impression that they cancelled it over a month ago?

With SD and DALL-E making headlines nearly weekly, we've heard nothing but crickets chirping from Google's Imagen team.
Consider the metaverse is already here; from message boards, Minecraft servers, COD matches, and chat networks. It's just not as seamless as stepping through doorways to jump servers / software. Or at least not yet.

How? I’m not aware of any standards-based self-hosted virtual worlds - let alone interoperable ones like this :)
A long time ago I found a few companies like ours and combined their terms of service. The idea was that because I combined them I wasn’t plagiarizing. Most Eula/tos are pretty formulaic anyhow. Just ensure you find ones for your legal district.
Those systems definitely had a user base but the execution was just so bad. It was fun at the time and had a lot of potential.
I just renamed update.exe (chrome complains about that when you boot it once), simple if you can live without the eternal update cycle they (FMAANG) are pushing down our throats since hardware does not improve anymore.
Anyone under about, what?, 30-ish lives in a world where the internet is a historical fact.
I think "reach" here is used in the context of:
"the extent or range of something's application, effect, or influence"

So this article is talking about "to what extent did Irish culture/language/poetry influence early English poetry.

Why might we think there could be an influence there? I'm Irish, but no expert of any sort on history, so going to speculate here, but there's a common story in Ireland that Christianity came to Ireland late, just before the 'dark ages' in Europe, and that Christian culture and monasteries thrived in Ireland, and then Irish monks later carried this learning back into Europe. You can think of it a bit like the Foundation scifi stories!

So maybe that's a factor here.

May I ask you, what is a "diverse idea"?
Start your prompt with "group photo of" then list the elephant and the dog. If you try this across many images, group photo will result in about 2x as many keeping the subjects separate.
Not from what I've seen. I took some prompts I saw used in Midjourney and was getting relatively lame results from DALL-E. Not a great comparison, but still.
Every single Millennial/Zoomer and on who use TikTok/Vine/Snap/Insta/Shorts/Etc will be able to be deepfaked to their kids or grandkids.
One of the really cool things about Third Room is that it’s the first Matrix client to natively launch with OIDC for auth. This means you will be able to grant it access to specific auth scopes in future if you don’t want to give it access to your main account, and I think solve precisely the problem you’re talking about here.

Check out the OIDC section of https://matrix.org/blog/2022/08/15/the-matrix-summer-special... for more details
Those are all fair points!
I'm a release-day player and I can honestly count the number of "annoying" bugs on one hand. However, I had a decent PC and the state of the game on last-gen consoles was ridiculous and unjustifiable. That said, the game was incredible.
Blarg. I read the summary of it, it’s going on my list thx. I grew up with a patriarch mentality and took it into my marriage and business. It’s just plain wrong, it’s effects are severe, and it’s been a long personal journey to relearn and reinterpret stuff.

I’m not on a crusade per se, but I guess I’m at a place where I’m now sharing aggregated angst I’ve heard from women and read about. Men absolutely have unmet needs, and much of that actually comes from patriarchal values.

The phrase “I don’t see color” seems admirable but ultimately was determined by researchers to be one of the strongest indicators of racial bias. It’s a problem because it ignores or denies the struggles that minorities have and do face. It projects a meritocracy where there isn’t one. I’d love to live in a “post-racial” society, but we just don’t. In the same way, “I don’t see gender” or “it’s hard for everyone” is a polite way of lying to yourself and denying the harsh reality that women objectively experience.

I have stats and citations for everything I’ve posted here, but I’m lazy and on my phone. I hope you’ll find that most of my claims easily substantiated, not some naïve diatribe. Hit me up if something I said needs backup.
The Apple UX on all devices lacks discoverability which annoys me to no end.

Virtually every feature except for the physical turn buttons, which was always the feature that made Oasis so much better than cheaper Kindle models.
Thanks! I didn't know I could turn that off. I "solved" it by wrapping chrome with my own home grown tooling to maintain multiple parallel profile directories, so I could run "work chrome" and "chrome for gmail" and "chrome for web browsing". Of course, now I use firefox for all 3 so I don't have the problem anymore... :)

>It seems like a huge benefit these days to be the sort of person who just isn't bothered by ads, like you can enjoy products and have more options available and don't have to do a ton of work to enjoy them.

You work for Google. Of course you have no problem with ads.

PSA: there is also the "arduino-cli" which lets us use other, everyday tools.

I guess I'm uncomfortable with adding all of these restrictions and hoops to hiring people. I worry that it is a death-by-a-thousand-cuts situation, and employers will be motivated to look to alternatives, like robots and offshore centers.
I've had a pretty good experience with the Kobo Overdrive integration.

My process for checking out books on a Kobo is:

- check out book on Libby app

- go to Kobo

- hit the sync button.

The last time I tried to check out a book for Amazon (admittedly a while ago) it was

- check out book on Libby app

- get redirected to Amazon & hit "borrow" <-- just a bit of extra friction

- go to Kindle

- hit the sync button
What do you mean by "they haven't added that functionality"? Kindles will readily open PDF files, and DX in particular was great for that on most documents, as the screen size large enough to fit one page at readable zoom level made scrolling unnecessary.
ouch.. this sort of makes me think of Office Space for some reason.

"I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him, but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck."

"Well just a second there, professor. We uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it will just work itself out naturally."

Given some of the constraints of the immersive web currently, Matrix can provide some critical pieces of that user experience. Third Room worlds are Matrix rooms hosted across homeservers. You log in with your preferred client. You can now traverse worlds seamlessly without losing your virtual identity. This can even extend to WebXR where currently you can't traverse across origins while in the headset.

Seamless interoperability is what the "metaverse" is all about and we want to work with people who want that as well.

Well I don't work on ads or on any product that has or will ever have ads, but...

It's really the other way around. I work at Google because I have no problem with ads. It's another example of opportunities available if you are okay with ads!
I mean, it's not just Google that does this nor is this an Alphabet invention. This is merely Assimilation 101. The "Chinese patience" towards heterogeneous minority groups and their customs is a commonly referenced one, but this "boiling the frog" is really the only way to guarantee things change while mitigating serious rebellion.

Another good example is how the Rashidun Caliphate granted conquered Zoroastrian Persians Dhimmi or "people of the Book" status. I'm sure it seemed kind at the time since Zoroastrianism is obviously not "of The [Abrahamic] Book". This merely postponed persecution of the unconverted until such a time as they were disperse, weak and with less sovereign resolve. They got a worse and worse deal as the centuries wore on.

I'm not justifying Google here, but this is really every hegemon's SOP: corporate, tech or cultural.

I'm just as mad with Microsoft forces me to use a Windows account after juggling the slow creep Mojang deprecation, when Mozilla gives you fewer and fewer ways to install apps outside of their extension store until it's a Nightly-only feature, or when [your favorite app] is acquired by [your least favorite company] and starts down a path you'd *never expect*. It's all garbage.

I don't know if it's fair to say they don't hold everyone to the same moderation standards, the level of moderation will of course scale to the audience of the person but that seems fair - a smaller creator doesn't pose as much of a risk as a larger one.

Is there another profile with similar amount of followers and content that aren't disabled, or only smaller accounts?

> Oh wait, that can't be totally automated and thus doesn't scale

It does scale, just not proportionately for everyone - in the extreme case you only have one moderator and they have to focus on the highest priority stuff. Everyone still have the same level of moderation(very little), but you're still going to see people able to "get away" with stuff
