>Popcorn time lost a similar battle.

i was actively following torrentfreak at the time and there was genuine excitement with something incredible but that only lasted a week :-(

why do you say they lost the battle? the original team threw in the towel within the week but there are people who have taken the fight

https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/releases...
here, the latest release was on 04 Sep 2022 so it is very much in active development with a lot of people contributing
https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/graphs/c...

so while the original team might not be working on it, like a true free software, the code lives.
I think the US and other western governments believe this would be seen as a military 'win' for Putin (the massive economic consequences can just be blamed on the 'evil west' attacking Russia) and although it would reduce tensions in the short term, would likely make it more likely that Russia would continue to threaten and/or attack other countries on its border or further afield.

Can't find a working link for 1.5, but for anyone who cares, I did turn up https://rentry.org/voldy, which has a actually-working link for SD 1.4[0] (in addition to the huggingface paywall) as well as to a couple other compatible models including NovelAI.

What? How so? Did we come out of thin air?
I assumed by "Republicans" they meant Republican politicans and the wealthy entities that support them, rather than party members (the general populace).
It’s amazing to see you’re building and growing Ubidrop, Alex.

I spent a few months using Android and then went back to iPhone because it’s so hard to get Android OS working with MacOS. So many incompatible or non-smooth integrations between them.

Glad to see Ubidrop exist. I bet it will improve life of an Android user a lot.

Congrats on the launch. Dan
Everything except for the morning and shutdown ritual is something I've been doing for about 3 years now. I started the morning and shutdown stuff 2 weeks ago and so far it's going strong but we'll see if it sticks ;)
You can't possibly think Windows would have the market share it has now if people were able to just walk into the store and buy the same laptops with Linux installed.
Depends on what the API is, right? Like, Linux has this law encoded as “don’t break userland”, ie a very absolutist interpretation. This makes sense because the people affected by a breaking Linux API change are not the people responsible for shipping code that depends on undocumented behaviour.

But for a lot of APIs, including nearly all OSS libraries that are only updated by the developer using them, your stance makes a lot more sense.
The easiest way I see to parse this is by doing a thought experiment: what if the human brain was indeed a hardware/software device, how would this work?

Eg, can you take a webcam image analysis software and teach it that apples are red without ever showing it something red through the camera?

I'd say the answer is obviously dependent on the design.

Yes if you have enough control over the software. You can introduce the shape of an apple into its dataset, and tell it that an apple shape is such and that it rates highly on the R channel. Then the program will upon seeing an apple for the first time say "Yup, this is indeed a red apple" and be entirely "unsurprised".

No if the system is isolated enough. Eg, if the recognition system is locked in a black box and your only controls are a query of "what is this?" and a command of "remember that the thing you're looking at now is X", then you don't have the access to introduce the information above by any other means than presenting an object to the camera.

Both systems are still 100% physical though.

The question is what humans are most similar to and I think the second option is most likely. Think of that for instance I can't mentally measure my blood pressure, or heart beat, or make myself vomit. There are some things my body does that are outside of my direct control. Given that, there's no reason to assume then that by just reading or listening to information that I would necessarily have any pathway from there to the depths of my visual system.

Disclaimer: I'm gay and polyamorous so I have quite a biased view on these things.

I actually think that really deep down monogamy doesn't work for a fair chunk of the population. The model of having your one life partner to satisfy all of your sexual needs for eternity has a number of problems:

* We are not always in the mood for sex. Your sex drive can be low for days, weeks or even months and it be perfectly normal. Having the pressure to perform when you're not really in the mood is a horrible feeling. This has a side effects of resentment between the couple.

* Repeating the same sexual experience with the same individual with no changes (e.g. exploring kinks, new positions etc) gets monotonous. No matter how attracted you are to that person, monotonous experiences really impact sexual arousal.

I don't think these problems are new society, but I think there were non-ethical outlets in the past. To the first point for example, in a time gone past the good housewife barely had a say in consent. Prostitution, cheating etc were outlets for the second point.

People feel a lot of shame when talking about ethical non-monogamy, particularly slut shaming women. In reality it's the ultimate level of trust in a relationship. I don't want the pressure of having to satisfy all of my partner's sexual needs for eternity, I trust them to explore other individuals if I'm not in the mood.

To be clear, non-monogamy is also not a silver bullet to a failing marriage, nor is it for everyone. However I really think as a society we should be less judgemental and critical of people who have unconventional relationships and keep an open mind for your own.

Well, yea. Living things and organizations have incentives. The implication I gleaned from your original comment was that Google's incentive to avoid bad press on HN for its App Store policies is enough that it should use its static analysis abilities "for good". We're not debating the existence of incentives. We're debating the existence of consistent/unified motivation/ability/will to satisfy those incentives. Or are we debating? After your second comment I'm not even sure the point you are trying to make.

Besides, I repeat that Google is big enough that different factions have contradictory incentives. There are people in Google that want bad Play Store press on HN. I'll leave that as a thought exercise as to how that could be true.
> inb4 “but US-based social media companies track you like this too”. Yes they do, and it will become a growing problem depending on how much you trust the government of the day.

The US has literally assassinated people based on exactly that siphoned data you describe.

> cheap selfhosted forums/blogs

Tbh I think most people just don't need to even be posting on a blog, myself included. It's nice to think you have something important to say but we mostly don't. How did our self-worth get tied up in this mess?

Of course if you want to start a blog you should. Maybe you do have something interesting, thoughtful, or worthwhile to say. Maybe you just want to keep a diary of sorts or post for a few friends or family members. But moving from social media platforms to self-hosted blogs misses the key step that most people just need to get the hell of the Internet instead of starting a blog or posting on social media.
Oh, then I ought to try my experiment again sometime. Last time was 8 years ago on Ubuntu Server, and maybe I'm missing a detail, like unknowingly running a 32-bit OS. But yeah the behavior you describe is more what I'd expect.
You mention pinging a URL with sensor values, which seems similar to what I want to do (which is to see if a remote location has power and internet connectivity or not, so I don't bother driving to work if the power is out).

You don't need a fancy wireless weather station for that. Just put a tiny server at the remote location. If you can't ping it then the power or internet is out, and you can stay at home.

>And I could link up a dozen similar studies and reports that all say the same thing: the risks from vaccination are low, the risks from Covid are an order of magnitude greater.

Without absolute numbers, your "analysis" is meaningless. We're talking about seven deaths amongst teens.

>The study noted that about three-fourths of the teenagers in the study had other medical conditions, such as obesity

Not being fat is an excellent way to avoid having a bad time with Covid. Shame that the official advice caused many people to spend the last two years sitting on the couch, eating pizza.

It is undeniable that the vaccine kept the most vulnerable out of the ICU. It is also very true that healthy people under about 45 were at minimal risk from Covid.
The Billy Mitchell strategy doesn't make sense in this case though, since I guarantee you that all three named entities have more money to fight lawsuits than Hans Niemann.
I disagree with your point 2, to a greater or lesser extent. People have made some amazing images with the technology. From throwaway funny stuff which will probably contribute to 'meme' culture, to legitimately beautiful images that I would be happy to have on the wall.

I do agree that most of the dross I create is only of interest to me. OTOH I got some laughs with my "Liz Truss holding up signs with rude words on them" series from British friends yesterday.
The "real" TLDR (and I am not kidding here!) is that you clinch your anus during every answer. It does something to your heartrate, blood pressure, etc. that makes lies indistinguishable from the truth. Also polygraphers know this and will call you out on it if they think you are doing it. It makes all of your answers register the same and they assume that you will lie on at least one as a baseline (usually something like "have you ever told a lie in your life" or something similar).
Everybody else wants to give you hope. There is none. I am on a dozen slacks, and these stories of desparation are far too frequent. This downtown is far, far, far worse than 1993, 2000 and 2008.

The privileged rich libertarian crypto bros who work at FAANG are all suffering from survivorship bias. Don’t let them makw you feel like shit, their hardships will come in a year or two as well.

I am in the same boat. Nearly 25 years of experience, but I got fired a week after Covid lockdowns began and haven’t been able to find anything since.

Covid was really hard on me, I’ve lost both my parents, my best friend and maky others. I caught covid while holding my mother when she died of the same disease, and my body has never recovered, nor has my spirit.

I ran out of short term savings about a month ago and now I’m living in a friend’s broken down sprinter van after having sold everything I owned.

Just sold my laptop, and promised my mother’s ghost I would try until 1 January. Then I will stop taking my medicine and within a day or two I will join her and my dad. This way I wont have to eat into my estranged son’s college fund.

Good luck.
When I joined a large well-known tech company, their background check red flagged my claim of having previously worked in the research division of an automotive company. Luckily, I happened to know the tech company's CTO from when we both worked there! I don't know if the HR rep actually confirmed it with him when I offered him up as a reference.

You are correct, SHA-2 is much more prevalent.
About 150m images have been generated with SD so far. That's already a new large scale training set. Generate and curate before retraining to create a virtuous cycle.
No need to replace them, I just want them to actually be legally held to at least the same standards the rest of us are. They routinely get away with assault and perjury, because they are in bed with both oversight bodies and the prosecutors. It's an insane conflict of interest that wouldn't be appropriate for a burger-flipper, let alone someone with a gun and a license to swing it around in people's faces.

I'll also point out that it's a really stupid idea to send an armed gunmen to do, say, a wellness check, but that's a marginal problem, not a root cause.
If you haven't already, check with a local friend who knows their tax/legal stuff.

I remember there being a SARS (South African Revenue Service) clause about owning an offshore company that primarily does business in South Africa. Essentially trying to stop people creating offshore shells to get bill their local clients from, as people try to evade tax like that.

It doesn't mean you _can't_ set one up, you just might need to have an extra X or Y in place to make it legal.

They might have a % threshold of how much offshore/local business you need to meet in order for it to be OK. I think ask around first...
Intel i9-13900K and i5-13600K review: Beating AMD at its own game
So the same reaction this audience has to the idea of evolution? You mean similar to people in this thread openly mocking the idea Ukraine couldn't have economic growth this week?

What was the audiences reaction when they found out over 1mil died by US hands in Iraq over fabricated evidence by Dick Cheney? He's been proclaimed a hero? I see how this works.

What about the murder of Epstein to hide the fact there are some high profile pedophiles in leadership positions in Washington? I bet the story that he was killed, while all those cameras malfunctioned simultaneously has been laughed at way more often. So miracles do happen?

Laughing audiences are not a measure of how true or false something is. Only how socially enforced the viewpoint is.
> We've seen how woefully their military has performed

I guess the question is, would that military have performed as woefully if we had "avoided any escalatory steps regarding the ongoing conflict in the Eastern Europe"? Would Ukraine have been able to resist as well if we had ignored their cries for help?
I don't see your comment as materially altering mine by either tone or intent. The "if" in both is strong.

He has form for almost manic egotistical misleading statements which he either doubles down on, or withdraws with a trumpian "can't you tell a joke" and then lashes out in another direction.

Try ideating how Twitter staff feel, with an even humorous threat to 3 in 4 of them to lose their job.
While i sympathise with some of the points, the author doesn't do himself any favours by claiming things like:

> I argue that "engineering" is the difference between our modern, high-tech civilization (only a few centuries old, at most) and the hundreds of thousands of years of human experience that preceded it.

So constructing those marvellous cathedrals, pyramids, statues, water irigation systems etc from a thousand or few years ago are not engineering?

Just like anything else, human mind is exploring similar avenues for thousands of years, and there is no good basis to claim that we've been doing engineering for only a few hundred years.

So basically you're saying that here's an American company that is monopolising a critical market in my country, but I prefer that monopoly to continue because I have built up this scenario in which an Indian company might monopolise it instead.

That's not why they fell out of style, though. The main reason is they're difficult to play well (at least compared to the modern flute), and they aren't loud enough. Recorders can't compete against other woodwinds or orchestral instruments, they would just be buried.

Meh.. the CIA loves to toot its own horn.

Look at the Bay of Pigs failure. The CIA is not some omnipotent power that topples stable countries via a few quite words while enjoying cigars and brandy.

The CIA doesn’t topple regimens itself, it backs locals who do.

Not that different than what the US is doing in Ukraine right now. Not “toppling” this time, rather “backing” and last I checked lots of Americans seem to approve of our meddling.

My take is you either shit or get off the pot. The US decides to either “meddle” in other countries or not.

If you decide to “meddle”, well, you also need to accept that things can go sideways and the locals and the US end up in a worse situation than if they avoided getting involved in the first place.

Unless you have a crystal ball, nobody can tell what the outcome of meddling will be.
Running such software is asking for a disaster already. At least documentation should still exist, and operational frameworks like ITIL insist on that. It can happen, but is usually telling of an operational culture that disregards maintenance, counting on being able to kick the can down the road as long as possible.

Impressive breakage of Betteridge’s law of headlines.

In the world stage it’s obvious to me that the US is the Least Evil Empire, so they have my backing. But damn what a close call it’s been huh? The list of ruthless dictators the CIA has helped gain power is so long I can’t even keep track. Anything the keep the commies out, and it simply wasn’t worth it.

If the US had taken their role as steward of the “Pax America” a bit more seriously, the global south would’ve today been as angry about Putin’s war as the West is. It makes perfect sense for a free speech free market democracy to be the leader of the free world but the US did a shit job at it.
This only looks at failures as it is very hard to attribute success in such cases. For example you list North Korea as a failure, but American involvement there is the only reason why South Korea exists and we don’t have one giant North Korea.

The fact of the matter is that the Cold War was won, and the CIA was a major part of it. You could analyze every coup that was started in Latin America as a mistake, but you can’t really say what was the alternative
But the text versions of news sites already exist. They were just examples of how that could look like.

Imagine suing Linus Torvalds for giving something away for free and having the audacity of rejecting pull requests.
Right. The thing is there are multiple different ways to represent a piece of information like 'red' that each have different advantages and disadvantages. Pixel data in an image file, weightings in a neural net, a flag in a database and many many variations on each of these.

An image classifying neural net doesn't just store 'red apple' as a colour value like an image file, but as relationships between all sorts of other aspects of images it has been trained on. It probably doesn't even store 'red' distinctly at all, the weightings that represent red in the classification of a red car may well be completely different from the weightings that identify red in images of apples. Likewise with human brains. So when Mary sees a red apple, that will evoke different responses than she would have to a red square or a red car. It's the relationships between attributes that matter at least as much, if not vastly more than the attribute itself in isolation.
