This is something I don't understand, why should FIDE accept any evidence from Chess.com, a completely separate corporate entity? That Hans cheated on chess.com is a fact at this point, but I don't see why that means he should be banned from real OTB tournaments or even from competitor online chess websites like Lichess.
interesting, good info!
What have you been searching/browsing? ;)

Instagram uses Facebook/Meta algorithms for serving ads, which includes behavior. I almost never post anything about diabetes in Instagram, but because many other sites (ie: reddit) use Facebook libraries for whatever reason they are using them, Facebook knows I'm diabetic, and I get served ads for diabetes products, bogus supplements that "cure" diabetes, health programs that use diabetes products for non-diabetes purposes (yes, this is a thing), and so on.

If a site uses a FB tracker library (which is going to be part of FB based auth), your usage is tracked and info based on that is used to serve ads across all Meta products.
A 1 year timespan seems deeply optimistic. Creativity is still hugely important, as is communicating with clients.

From what I see, these technologies have just lowered the bar for everyone to create someone, but creating something good still takes thought, time, effort and experience, especially in the advertising space.

AI in the near term is never going to be able to translate client requirements either. The feedback cycle, iterations, managing client expectations, etc.

> if we're serious about global warming and the overall health of the planet

There’s a saying that when someone shows you who they are, believe them.

It’s pretty clear that “we” as humanity are not serious about global warming and the overall health of the planet.

Some of us are making gobs of money and think we’ll just be able to buy our kids the same great life we’ve had. Some of us are complacent and don’t worry too much about the future. Some of us are so desperate to survive today that we can’t think about tomorrow. Some of us realize it’s a lost cause.

“Fixing” global warming just isn’t going to happen. We spent the money we didn’t have over the past few decades and the bill is coming due soon. At this point it’s all about how we cope with a world that’s going to be unimaginable to many of the people alive today.

Not trying to argue about anything in the article, especially as I have absolutely no idea about French hunting culture, but the article doesn't actually say that. It says that, according to a hunting lobby, "91% of breathalyser tests after hunting incidents are negative" (emphasis mine).

Assuming that alcohol increases the risk of accidents, the percentage of hunters who have drunk should be higher in cases where there is an accident than it is generally, so the percentage of hunters who have drunk would be lower in the general case.
The issue with building emails is the lack of modern CSS support across most email clients. It's incredible the fallbacks you need to go to (raw CSS tables) if you can't use flexbox, css grid, or any number of modern CSS rules.

Nobody believes this: there's a reason why DEF CON has had a voting village for years.

What people believe is that, in spite of numerous flaws in voting software, the integrity of the vote is not seriously in question. And there are good reasons for believing this: physical backups, consistency with exit polling and, well, the fact that no party in this godforsaken country has been able to hold onto the presidency for more than 2 terms in nearly 30 years.
I am just answering what seems to be a common suggestion, which is become an AÍ prompt person. I have two objections to this idea 1. I don’t think this is a well paid job with a moat of a skillset Thats built over years of experience - I assume there will be a race for good UX/UI in AÍ generation of images. The other thing is it doesn’t interest me simply because I don’t see it as a craft of imagemaking. Making a good image means knowing about composition, lighting, detail, texture. AÍ imagemaking doesn’t compare really to spending 10 hours agonising over lighting a shot which is what I love.

Also I asked the question a bit as a challenge yes I do have my own ideas on what I’ll do.

It's also just kind of off-topic and representative of stereotypical HN cynicism.

I don't think that's the tone I was aiming for. My point is really that for Espresso, or any other library that's aiming to be an alternative to another big and popular library, needs to do more than just being technically better. It needs good examples, clear docs, support from the community, and ultimately a well thought out "ethos". Espresso is lacking a few of those things. That's not even really a criticism of the library; it's just the state of library development and populism in the JS ecosystem in general. A large part of a devs decision making process comes down to things that aren't code.

It's a bit like the "build it, they will come" route to market that kills so many startups. Just making something great isn't enough. You also need to handhold your users to get them to try it.

It is not. Magna Carta merely preserved the privileges the City had at the time. Since the late 19th Century everywhere in England has had its own local government, so that is no longer a privilege.
But if you do it well, it's the opposite. Luhmann, who came up with Zettelkasten, is known to be one of the most prolific scholars in the last century.

Zettelkasten was essential for this. The thing is that his original system was incredibly simple. I think that's what people are missing. Plain Org or Markdown files on a Git repository are a great way to mimic Zettelkasten. You don't need more and restrictions are actually very liberating.

See how the word "dehumanizing" can be stretched to fit any speech I disagree with?

This is how authoritarian censorship works. By manipulating language.

I agree. UCLA is building 1 dorm building right now and it's estimated to cost $1.5 billion. Being a Californian real estate project it will no doubt have cost overruns.
If anything the number of jobs will increase. Simply because technologies such as what you describe are enablers. Suddenly everyone and their cat will want good looking ai generated videos. But someone will need to make that little tweak that makes them look good. For instance, i wouldnt be able to produce nice content regardless of how many ais you throw at me simply because i dont have an eye for it.

But suddenly john in marketing is able to create a few amateurish sketch videos, crappy and naive, but they will lead to ideas for proper videos that he can collaborate with someone like you to turn into professional content. Similarly you will be able to iterate ideas faster and thus keep clients happy.

Its the same with web development. The more libraries the more tools and the more automation the more jobs out there. John in marketing or Sandra the ceo are now able to experiment with mockups, show them to stakeholders and gain their attention much quicker. As a result there are more funding and more product development leading to more tech jobs.

Therefore, enabler tech like this will lead to growth.

I have no clue if it's going to cost us $10, $100, or $10000.

This particular role of the software doesn't sound particularly critical, in the sense that if it caught fire tomorrow, elections would still happen in the same way, maybe with more human labour involved on the planning side.

Yes.

I used to work at a company that invested too much time and effort into an ELK stack that handled specialist log formats sent over a custom UDP service. It was brittle and fell over in all sorts of strange ways. This was all for monitoring a handful of servers.

The only good that came of it was when we realized that the support staff could search the logs and diagnose 95% of customer complaints without bothering developers. ("Your transaction failed because you entered a bad card number.")

But that was because the text logs were more useful than the metrics.

That goes back to the data available in the crawler which is mostly white because the english internet is mostly white. If they trained with a different language the default person would the color most often found in that language. For example using a Chinese search engine's data for training would default the images to Chinese people.

Most people represented in photos are younger. Same story.

The problematic issue is the media has morphed reality with unreal images of people/families that don't match society so unreal expectations make people think that having white people generated from a white dataset is problematic.
I’m sorry but this is actually kind of funny.

You’re saying, basically: where are the secret ties? The ties are right there in the open!

(Well now they are at least)

“Hey they got caught. They’re not being so secretive anymore” is not really evidence suggesting that there was nothing nefarious occurring.
This is a kind of strawman fallacy. You're starting with an argument (of the form "this particular idea about election software is a conspiracy theory"), and then pretending that it was actually an argument for the maximal refutation of the original, which you then show to be "wrong". But that's not an argument in favor of the original contention!

No one serious argues that election management systems are bug free or that their operators can't possibly make mistakes. We're just saying that nothing has broken yet.
I wish that were true but considering his ties, expertise, and the general theme of his patents I'd say that's a naive interpretation. That said I certainly hope you're right and I only say "naive" to discourage people shrugging it off as a nothing burger.
Why would anyone waste their time addressing this Gish-galloping oil industry swine’s lies and distortions? Fuck him.
There is no evidence of "infiltration" here. The reality is that, in its march to privatize everything it can, the US government has incentivized a race to the bottom. If Chinese companies provide the cheapest services, then American data is going to end up on Chinese servers until the incentives are fixed.

Is this good? No. But it also isn't CCP infiltration; it's the logical consequence of trying to channel public money into private economies, public money that is meant to fund our most basic civic activity.

Hard disagree. The measured tone in TFA is how adults debate issues. Invoking phrases like "child-abusing relative" and "kid alone in a darkened room in a state of undress" is the kind of hyperbole that sites like Twitter and HN love to employ that reduce the quality of conversations and how threads turn into shouting matches.

Ask yourself how the hyperbole you engage in leads to "curious conversation", how you're "assuming good faith", and how you're "eschewing flamebait". Because TFA seems to invoke curious conversation and good faith and your hyperbolic analogies just seem like ideological-battle oriented flamebait.

> Sometimes a harsh response is warranted to preserve integrity of that which is important. This is one of those times.

I'm pretty sure this is explicitly against "Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity."

P.S. As a long time HN reader/user, these hyperbolic flamebait comments in the service of political ends are exactly the kinds of comments that I find degrade this site the most. When people complain about this site turning into Reddit, it's these kinds of comments I think about.
I think that's refusing to meaningfully engage with the problem. It's not reflecting the _world_ which is not majority white. It's reflecting images in their dataset, which reflects the way they went about gathering images paired with English language text.

There are lots of other ways you could get training data, but they might not be so cheap. You could have humans give English descriptions to images from other language contexts. I'm guessing there's interesting things to do with translation. But all the weird stuff about bodies, physical objects intersecting etc ... maybe it should also be rendering training images from parametric 3d models? Maybe they should be commissioning new images with phrases that are likely to the language model but unlikely to the image model. Maybe they should build classifiers on images for race/gender/age and do stratified sampling to match some population statistics (yes I'm aware this has its own issues). There are lots of potential technical tools one could try to improve the situation.
