Hmm. The example given in the article is of a married couple who owned a house and had another person renting one room in their house. That's what made me me think it sounds like they took on a roommate, not that they did something that would run against the spirit of a single-family dwelling zone. I have friends now who are engaged and recently bought a house, and are renting out the other bedrooms to two of the (adult) younger siblings of one of the partners, which sounds similar too.

I can see the difference between "roommates" and "boarding houses," but the article's example sounded like something that should be fine in neighborhoods.

All the mainstream media said iraq has WMDs... it was basically on every european and american tv channel in preparation for the war. Once before that, we heard that iraqi soldiers killed babies... that was a "fun" one too...

Even tony blair admited it (the WMDs) was a lie: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jul/06/chilcot-ton...

The same media also reported of the "Ghost of kiyev".. so yeah... surely we must believe them "now".

Disagree; you’re welcome to spend your time however you want.

To be little more precise, all topics follow the power law, there’s massive amount of information on many topics which is easy to rapidly learn early on, but that ease of learning rapidly falls off.

Beyond that, few people do what I do, truly solo entrepreneur, enjoy what I do and there’s literally nothing I am unwilling to take on if I decided that’s how I would like to spend me time.

Meta: As for your comments, might be worth reflecting on how people are responding to your comments, if you’re engaging people is a net positive, etc.

I can also picture it, but not really in the way you're outlining it.

It's a sad and very inefficient picture though. Apple does not need this this much data processing. It's a grotesque amount per device. My most positive plausible interpretation is that maybe they're just wasting insane amounts of energy doing lots and lots doing of stupid analytics, as one tends to do.
Correct, that’s what object stores are for. However, metadata on said files, is probably very handy to have in a database.

I’m quite sure not all this Cassandra capacity is just file/photo metadata storage either.
What relationship with Nintendo? Nintendo has no games listed on Steam, and the only Valve game on any Nintendo platform is the recent Portal port.
This is correct only if you look at single bets in isolation, or at bets small enough that you can actually make so many of them you get the EV in the end.

Once you look at a long sequence of large bets (where 95 % drawdown absolutely indicates a large bet), you'll find that those where big drawdown can happen grow slower because a big drawdown simply sets you back too far. It's worth earning a little less for each bet if none will cost you a huge loss.

I think it's just that it's such a strange comparison to make, like making an article entitled, "Who's better at doing donuts in the parking lot: helicopters or planes?"

The image generation models weren't trained on chart images, everyone already knows they're gonna be bad at that. Fiverr artists will obviously be better, though even then, who the hell is paying people on fiverr to draw generic charts?

If you wanted to compare them, it would make more sense to compare them based on how they're actually used (especially in the case of the AI models): to make art.

Though if your title was more specific, ala "DALL-E 2 vs $10 Fiverr Commissions: Who's Better at Charts?" you'd probably get somewhat fewer complaints. Having the title be generic implies that you're gonna be looking at common/primary use cases.

How could it not be? Public domain is centuries old.

> From the beginning of VHS tapes and at home distribution, there was Macrovision.

So what...?

> When copyright was made the law, there was no method of mass consumer distribution.

Yeah, and that's the only reason why copyright even made any sense. You had to own things like printing presses in order to infringe copyright at any meaningful scale. Now everyone has globally networked computers which make copyright infringement so trivial people don't even realize they're doing it.

> Also, as usual HN wannabee lawyers have no idea what a “monopoly” is.

> There is no “monopoly” on creating video content.

You're not even replying to my actual point, you're inventing a strawman to disprove so you can call me a "wannabe lawyer". Not even once did I claim there was a monopoly on any creative process. I claimed there was a monopoly on copying. That's what copyright means, it's literally right in there in the name: creators get a time limited monopoly on the ability to make copies of their work.
Nintendo has no relationship with Valve or really PC gaming as a whole at all. They are pretty much as hostile as it gets towards any platform that isn't their own, to the point that a planned collaboration with Fortnite fell through because they were simply not willing to allow any of their characters to be visible on other platforms.

Valve isn't burning any bridges here because there were no bridges to begin with.

Tbh Nintendo does make it particularly hard to pay and emulate. To legally emulate switch games you have to buy and then dump them, but if you hack your switch to dump them, you get banned from the estore so you can no longer buy them.

Personally I'd be happy to pay money and get access to the game ROMs to run on an emulator because I find it more convenient to play them in an emulator than to switch a bunch of cables to put the switch on my monitor.
So it claims, but many games let you click X on that dialog and play other games. I have an old laptop which is basically a dedicated Civ 6 machine. I can still play any other steam game on my desktop while the laptop has Civ open.

> and I complain just as much when they do.

That’s a mismatch between how you want the world to work and how the world actually works. If you realize companies are going to ignore the law then getting update about it is no more rational than complaining about gravity.

> In America, laws aren’t imposed, they are implemented via a democratic process

Being the outcome of a democratic process doesn’t somehow prevent them from being imposed. As to voting or running for congress, residents of DC elect a non voting member of congress which has exactly as much power as you might imagine. They then can’t create local laws without approval from the members of congress who can actually vote.

Congratulations, you are a member of the least democratic democracy in the world today. So even by your standards it’s laws have no moral weight.

Understandably so much negativity to this article, and I stopped reading after a few paragraphs, it's mostly garbage.

However, let's take a look at it another way.

If it would take $62T to convert to 100% renewable, how much would it cost to get to 80% renewable?

I'm trying to get a read on how much of the current energy is from renewables, and I'm seeing figures in the 8-30%. It's a big spread, but it is showing how far we may have come.
The most obvious reason would be that they're probably largely trained on art-type images, not charts and graphs.

Entire mainstream corporate media, foremost Angloamerican, current US State Dept., CIA, other 3-letter agency top officials, who were the mid-level foot soldiers implementing the lies, the ex top officials of those agencies, who are retired and who are now called 'the intelligence community' now, making 6 figures while working in private think tanks who manufacture and sell those lies, all the privately-owned satellite media with Angloamerican and local neoliberal shareholders, the entire 2003 shtick.

> Russian atrocities have been reported broadly across many outlets

They haven't been. BBC, Le Monde or Spiegel are not 'broad, different outlets'. They have been lying about everything along with their big daddy since a long time, including the nonexistent WMDs.

There isn't anything as such in Indian, Indonesian, South American, Vietnamese, Egyptian or South African media. That's broad. Not the outlets who are owned by the same lot.

The below article bluntly demonstrates the falsity of the existence of 'free media' in the capitalist West.

Steam doesn't enforce DRM. You can usually go to the game files and just click the launcher from the file manager and the game will run without steam getting involved. Sure its not the most officially supported, but they hardly prevent you from doing it.
IR is better because you can provide illumination via IR flood lighting that isn’t visible by the human eye.

This is effectively how the FaceID system on your iPhone can work regardless of lighting condition.

That means that even in dark situations, you can have much higher quality imaging , albeit in a limited range.
That’s not a fair analogy. If anything, you could say “this is like asking a caricature artists to draw a bridge”. Sure their bridge might not end up being architecturally or structurally correct, but it will mostly look like a bridge.

These image generation tools are being discussed as something that could replace graphic designers (didn’t OpenAI refuse to open source DALLE-2 at least partially due to this concern?). So it is absolutely a reasonable idea to compare image generation vs a human designer.

Saying that, the prompt the author chose to use was hard to parse even to humans, I am not surprised the tools failed so badly.

To be precise, it's SNTP, not full-fledged NTP:

> The systemd-timesyncd service implements SNTP only. This minimalistic service will step the system clock for large offsets or slowly adjust it for smaller deltas. Complex use cases that require full NTP support (and where SNTP is not sufficient) are not covered by systemd-timesyncd.

Switched from web backend to unreal engine game programming dev. Havent started yet on the new gig but one of my main motivations to not do web stuff anymore was having to deal with people introducing unnecessary layers between you and what you want to do in code, all that time. It is just a thing because web companies can afford both the extra cost and extra performance hit that these "best practices" incurr (and cultural inertia, maybe), while in games, I believe, there isnt space for any of that, you must start simple to complex because of budgets. Not the other way around.
Depends on what you mean by cross-module type-checking! TypeScript would still be running locally because Reflame doesn't run your typechecking for you yet (though we'll be working on it!), either on your laptop or in a CI server somewhere, so everything supported by your local TypeScript version should still work the same.

What Reflame does require is turning on the `isolatedModules` compiler flag in your TypeScript config, so it can help you avoid features that would block isolated module compilation (that would similarly block things like Babel/SWC that only transpile individual modules as well).

Luckily those features are rarely used to begin with, here's the relevant bit in the example TypeScript repo with more about this: https://github.com/reflame/example-typescript/blob/main/tsco...

While this is true to a certain extent, you're probably underselling it a bit. A lot of "evocative" art (e.g. art on Magic The Gathering cards) can now be done by complete non-artists playing around with prompts for a little while, in less time than it would take a professional artist to make the art manually.

Now, if you're actually Wizards of the Coast, you probably wanna spend the money with real artists anyway, but for any smaller teams, I can see the appeal of just using AI for that kind of use case now.

While I agree that increasing productivity is the prime directive when it comes to improving standards of living, dismissing the benefits of wealth transfer is naive.

Direct wealth transfer is a useful tool for mitigating market failures like labor market monopsony and the various negative externalities of excessive inequality. When used correctly, it does in fact improve economic efficiency and societal well-being.
One of the hard parts of quantifying that, is you have people who wear many hats. So sure you have Cassandra gurus, and probably a decent number of them. But this is in the league where really hardcore automation kicks in to keep staffing sane, and operations possible. But outside that, how do you count datacenter folks, client folks, networking folks, etc who only spend a little fraction of time on the database parts.

But I think I can say with sufficient knowledge, all things considered still, “way fewer than you might think”.
Just like no one believes stores selling "decorative glass vases" that look like bongs. But it doesn't matter, because it's still legal itself.

Not quibbling with your general point, but was cancer a rare occurrence before WWI on a like-for-like basis? Life expectancy was a great deal lower then - it's gone up by around 30 years (from just over 50 to just over 80) since then.
No it quite literally isn't
You are quite right. I have never owned a smart phone myself and never carry any type of phone with me. When I change countries, I try to use shitty pre-paid dumb phones. I was completely unaware that online services seem to hate this, and will lock you out forever if you change your phone number (or change countries - something that has gotten worse, I have noticed, as I have been crossing borders and logging into things for 20 years). It used to be easy. Now it's a nightmare.

I find it disturbing to imagine that people are stuck with phone numbers as de facto ID.
There is merit in this - once a php dev does get to know the language they move away to other languages. So you are indeed left with people that dont know the language.

This is not a scientific experiment. The author compared results of a specific prompt.

Why are so many people overthinking this?
I'd prefer a system, where the author has to actually and actively be trying to make money in a specific market, before the copyright can be applied in that specific case (as with trademark law, where the owner has to actively protect the trademark).

Some nintendo games are currently not available anywhere (from nintendo or from original publisher), but if you copy/download that rom, you can get fined due to fictional losses for the copyright holder. What losses? If you're not selling the game anymore, how can you have losses from it? If you're not selling that movie in my country, how can you show a loss from me downloading it?
Sometimes things have to be built as layered abstractions in order for humans to reason about them at scale.

Nintendo is not a direct competitor. And even if they were, what exactly does Valve have to lose here?
At this scale you automate away 99.9% of the things you respond to.

We are not even near this scale yet at my place of work, and we are moving towards this methodology of strong automation to orchestrate a cluster. We hire software engineers to operate our database clusters, and the expectation is to somewhat be selfishly motivated to write programs to remediate issues so you don't get paged constantly. We do not expect to grow our headcount proportionally to the number of clusters or nodes we operate.

You must treat your nodes like cattle not pets. If a node fails, automation kicks in and re-bootstraps it. It is not worth figuring out how to nurse it back to health. When you are performing rolling or scale up operations on the cluster you are just invoking automation to do everything for you.
