I wish someone would come up with an AI system that would filter out GPT-3 style corporate speak and engagement emails, so that we can get proper content. I have signed up on multiple email lists, and it is tedious how every email is worded to tease out maximum subscription - what's the point? I'm already sold on this subject, but can we at least now get sober and short, and to the point?
I mean, your post reads like an apology for the behaviour. My point mainly was that Twitter's success going forwards depends on ad revenue and there was apparently a huge uptick in slurs of all kinds right after the deal closed and he became owner.[1]

Maybe there's some untapped reservoir of people willing to shell out to have the Twitter blue checkmark, given it used to have some cachet and they will successfully pivot their funding model to a subscription one, but I doubt that will actually account for the difference.

That's always my first thought when I hear this idea.
Continuously tumbling stock value and user population is probably the reason. This is like the web comics portraying Internet Explorer being waaaaay behind on a joke/trend.
shutterstock, like what openai/dalle-2 is doing? The only impact this kind of legislation will have is to ensure that only big companies get to train large models.
I wonder though how they know I don't reside in California. They don't have my address, maybe information about where I log in from?
Can styles be copyrighted? So for example, if a human artist makes a novel work in the style of another artist, is there any legal grounds for claiming copyright?

Assume that the specific characters, names, etc aren’t being used. Think cartoon in the style of Disney, but not Mickey Mouse.

And yet his companies are some of the most difficult to get a job at. Interesting.
everything is getting shitty everywhere. it so happens that the fed made money free at the most prosperous growth-ful expandingly-globalizing time of likely/perhaps all human history. we will never decouple the monetary policy from the fact that it was the time of radically expanding growth anyways.

I'll provide a few.

Indigenous Americans participated in a gift economy quite successfully.

African Socialism, notably Ujaama, was a non Stalinist socialist government.

Pre (and even part of) Hanseatic league Europe was neither state capitalist nor capitalist.

Portions of Spain were socialist and anarchist until state capitalists/Stalinists shut them down for being the wrong kind of socialist.
> "But I'll spend money to train my employees and they'll just take those skills to go work for a competitor or start their own business!" Yes, that's a feature of the system, not a bug.

This mentality has never made sense to me. Why would a business invest so much money into training someone, then fail to spend the money needed to retain the (more valuable) trained employee?? "They'll leave after we train them" is a ridiculously easily preventable problem.
The linked article challenges simplistic assumptions many Americans have about race, educational accomplishment, and potential to succeed.

Another excellent resource is Ellen D. Wu’s “The Color of Success”.

It’s a well-researched academic history of how Asian status in society changed in American history. Why were Chinese immigrants seen as inferior and sinister in the 19th century but by the 1970s, Chinese-Americans were seen as model minorities? The “good ones” who were politically compliant, hard working, family-oriented, good at school, and Christian?

She shows how there was the desire to fight the Cold War and the blunt the advance of the African-American civil rights movement led to the creation of the Asian-American minority myth.
Hard to say, it only takes one month without a tenant to lose money. You better have the cash flow to counter that. The landlords I know (not a representative sample) all have lost a lot of money as covid meant they couldn't evict tenants that were not paying rent. There are programs to get some back, but if you evict before getting money you get nothing.

In the long run you make a lot of money, but it is a long time before profits are enough to live off of. For the first years the money goes to paying the bank, insurance, taxes, and if you are lucky there is enough left to cover basic repairs.
This is something I've wanted for years. My dream app is a "data canvas" where you can write, draw, plan, automate, compute, graph, collaborate, and package into a user-facing executable. Basically every productivity tool (and I mean every tool) combined into one, with extreme flexibility and interoperability.

It's also something extremely hard if not flat-out impossible to do with an intuitive UI. All of that interoperability means extreme complexity, and it's not even possible to infer advanced computations or constraints for an app without specifying them in detail (in which case you're basically just programming). But I like that people are trying, because even though there's no unified data canvas available yet, we really are getting closer with things like high-level languages, low-code solutions, Apple and Microsoft continuity, and of course this.
This has always been true.

Most of what professional cameras and lenses get you is the ability to get shots you otherwise couldn't - lower light, further distance, faster action, etc. Particular effect in DOF of flattening. Nothing that makes a good photo.

Without an eye, it's all wasted. But a good eye will see shots that can't be made; more of them if the camera at hand is limited.

Because the base model is $120,000.

A model 3, the budget/everyman car is $40k, and the Model Y is almost $70k.
Do the falcon doors really freeze up or just the handles (actually curious).

I have a Model 3 and the handles DO freeze over, though I normally pre-heat my car (EV FTW) and it normally isn't an issue.
And... cheapboozeforstudents can't fool me into generating an assertion for statestudentaid.gov by showing me statestudentaid.gov's presentation request?

But yeah, the issue here is that when you present your student ID to anyone, you are relying to some extent on every single other service that accepts student ID to be validating the audience assertion. That's not a great trust model.
The code was COBOL. You programmed on a green-screen terminal, or a gold-screen one if you got a newer model.

You earned your pay at night, when a program blew up. The mainframe would provide a core dump, which was printed out on hundreds of pages of 'green bar' paper by the operator. You would go to the source library for an equally gigantic (like 900 pages) of program listing to find the source of the problem. This was accomplished with some hex reading and an IBM card that explained computer instructions and arguments.

'Networking' was always SNA and always secure. TCP was a few years ahead.

C was available on the mainframe a little later. Linux on the mainframe likewise happened soon after, too.

You mastered your application domain by dragging paper listings home to read frequently.

Hot shot programmers may write 'online' programs (CICS), Assembly-language modules (for speed), or maybe do 'systems programming' (mainframe system admin).

It all seems pretty ok now. Probably it wouldn't be fun to go back to it, though.
Twitter seems like a great tool for organizations and people to make announcements to me, but a terrible format for providing actual content or conversation.

If I were to design something that would replace twitter what I would design would ultimately be way less popular, but I think it'd be a much better place, and if nothing too similar to original twitter could ever be created would lead to a better world (from my point of view) than one with twitter in it.

The short answer would be: I would as much as possible design it to not function as a place for discussion. It would exist, entirely, for people to share content they found interesting.

So if not conversation what would this platform be good for? Making announcements and linking to interesting content that is hosted on places that aren't twitter.

Step one in achieving this would be to eliminate the concept of "threads". If I never see another 30 tweet long thread that should have been a fucking blog post somewhere it will be too soon. (I'd be perfectly happy to build in long form content tools that this platform would host and could be linked to in "!tweets", just that they wouldn't show up in "!tweet" feeds).

Step two would be to as much as possible limit or discourage things like commenting. You could "retweet" something you found interesting with a comment on it, but you can't comment on anyone else's tweet directly. They will not be shown your "retweet" unless they follow you.

So that'd be my version. Basically the people you follow can "tweet" links to content that exists elsewhere, along with a short amount of text describing why you care. Alternatively they can do a (single, not a thread of) "tweet" which is just text in order to enable things like small status updates, "Just letting everyone who follows me know I survived the earthquake", or "We have sold out of the cinnamon biscuits" type of things.

What is this to do that the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation launched July 22 is not able to do? - How is EDF justifying spending money on more monitoring rather than on resolving the known emitters & problem sites?
Around ten years ago. It was bad.
I don't think its comparable. Generative AI is a far far greater leap than CGI is.
CGI is a mere evolutionary/sustaining innovation, movies/shows pre and post-CGI are largely made by the same studios. CGI just lowered costs compared to physical sets, and slightly expanded what was possible to film.

Generative AI, on the other hand, lowers costs so radically, that it will spur entire business models. Within a few years, we can expect feature length animations/TV shows to be created by teams of less than 5 people. Live action shows, requiring photorealism, will be a bit harder, so maybe 5-10 years.
This will in turn change the business model radically, with indie creations competing against big budget productions, it'll turn Netflix in the direction of youtube, etc etc. It will be very similar to how livestreaming and youtube affected TV-talk shows, as large production staff are no longer needed.

This is no exaggeration, I've seen animation created with diffusion models, that would have taken a traditional animator a year to animate by hand, now doable by a single person, within a week. It's been less than a 1 month since the model's release (novelai), imagine what would happen in a year.
Also, doing a small thing personally can increase your commitment to the issue.

If you find yourself doing something you think people collectively shouldn't do, you work to excuse yourself. This is classic cognitive dissonance. It is unpleasant and makes you angry and cynical. If you find yourself doing the right thing in your own eyes, you improve your opinion of yourself and you may want more.

And the people who are still doing nothing and dealing with cognitive dissonance accuse you of virtue signaling, as though this, whether or not it is true, is a greater sin than whatever they remain defensive about.

- Liveview is really good. (frontend framework that uses websockets to build realtime apps that doesn't require writing JS (uses JS under the hood though)).
“Good artists borrow, great artists steal.”

We’ve argued this for centuries. Fair use is a fine line, but it exists. And it doesn’t matter whether the generative agent is human or machine. If a sufficiently unique work of art is the result, it’s not stealing.
It's just a retention tool, a shitty abusive one.
> "Hunter Biden's laptop isn't news. It is a US-centric celebrity story."

Hunter Biden's businesses dealings are not "U.S. centric" and Hunter Biden is not a celebrity (except maybe in addiction recover centers). They involve allegations that the son of a sitting VP (at the time), who had absolutely no experience in the energy sector, used his father's influence to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in business dealings with Chinese and Ukrainian energy firms. That involves allegations of international corruption. Including having a prosecutor removed who was investigating one of the businesses tied to Hunter Biden (you know, the famous Joe Biden story about how he told Ukraine to fire the prosecutor or they would not receive a billion dollars in U.S. aid).

> "Thus all reporting on it was tabloid style sensationalism."

Except the reporting was not tabloid style sensationalism. It was actual investigative reporting that the media tried to CONVINCE people was "tabloid style sensationalism".

If you'd like to see how the media worked to convince you that the whole story was just "sensationalism", take a look at how the NY Times repeatedly dismissed everything that was being said before the election (when they called the laptop "unsubstantiated"), but then earlier this year (when it could no longer hurt Biden's chances) finally admitted that at least some of the allegations are likely to be true: https://nypost.com/2022/03/17/the-times-finally-admits-hunte...

But my suspicion is, you really wouldn't care in the slightest if Joe and Hunter Biden are actually corrupt.

I love my cut-down B3/Leslie combo. I can take it to small clubs and fill the room with thick silky sound that competes with any electric guitar. Acoustic pianos are wonderful, but portable B3’s are the king of keyboard instruments. Nord Stage pianos are at least a great substitute.
You can spend about as much on a decent upright on a good digital piano that feels good enough to perform with, and a good sound. The difference is you'll be able to resell the latter and move it easily, whereas you'll usually need to pay someone to haul away the former.

I also think that there's a noticeable difference in feel and timbre in the real thing, even a bad piano. I think it affects the way you play. Given the choice almost everyone uses a real piano to record. But gigging musicians will usually prefer a digital piano, because they can move it and trust it sounds and feels the same in different venues. Most acoustic pianos supplied by venues are poorly maintained and can have other issues like amplification (you have to mic a piano, which means you need a sound engineer at the gig, which may or may not be possible).

I've been using google-chat/hangouts/hangouts dialer/chat (and no one used duo, and i guess google meet doesn't count despite that kinda being what hangouts became) since launch and i've never seen such an incoherent mess. Pretty much have one user left with whom i use it. I even have an enterprise account so I am an actual customer.

Current chat-in-gmail incarnation has many bugs. Messages going missing/24 hour late notifications of messages (that i already read).

I can only unfortunately presume bad things about how product decisions are made at google and those who make them and their absolute lack of empathy for "customers" let alone the lack of any strategy. If it wasn't for a couple of golden cows cross subsidising the rest of the company these people would be unemployed.

That you have 1bn+ users of gmail and no one (bar one for me) still uses it for chat is a testament to the scale of failure. The best you can take away is that the failure is good ammunition to take to anti-trust hearings - they can't say you used dominance to win that market!
From what I see, It seems the general theme of generative AI on HN and on the web is this:

Using an AI writer generator (GPT-3): "Looks great, I can make a great SEO blog and a storybook SaaS out of this now, I don't need a writer anymore. Writers adapt or die."

Using an AI artist generator (DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney): "Looks brilliant, this IS the future. it's inevitable, I don't need an artist anymore. Artists must adapt or die, sorry."

Using an AI code generator (programmers) (Copilot, Replit Ghostwriter): "No thank you, Bad. legislation now, why are you violating my copyright / open source licence?"

Why does it seem OK to obsolete complete industries by outright violating copyright laws, stealing work (even generating with a shutterstock watermark!), often without attribution and hail this as a new dawn for AI?

Or is this mainly VCs finding out that this is now a new way to 'provide shareholder value' despite all the costs that come with it.

So just throw cash at any startup that can generate a hot dog image in any style or generate a hot dog detector with copyrighted code, writing hotdog story no matter how bad the story is.
> I am not personally convinced that the decisions to get up and move are the deterministic result of physical laws that follow directly from the initial conditions at the Big Bang

Then that is a religious or philosophical conviction… not a scientific one. Believe whatever you want just don’t confuse the two.
Miro is pretty nice for this. Also, try a Trello board on a big touch screen, shared with people using it on their personal devices. We found a fun background image is key to making Trello sticky.
AI like Copilot is going to be a very important and fun part of that list, I believe.
Nikon Z9 eliminated it this past year, my understanding is that going shutterless is largely a function of having fast enough readout over a large sensor size to mitigate rolling shutter.

Segmed (YC W20) | Engineers etc. | Full-time| REMOTE | https://www.segmed.ai/careers

To aggregate diverse data, we have partnered with many US-based and international hospitals and imaging clinics - about 600 healthcare institutions spanning 5 continents, to be exact.

We come, we integrate our healthcare ETL pipeline with a healthcare institution, and start de-identifying the institution’s data. We can do this for both historical and real-time data, as well as both text and images. We handle de-identification in a way ensuring that protected health information - or PHI - never leaves the premises of the institution.

Once this de-identified data transfer is established, we can aggregate our partners’ data inside of our Segmed Insight platform in the cloud. Insight is a web-app that our customers can enroll onto.

In Insight, users can search the data, and build patient cohorts appropriate for your research and development. For example, if you want to find chest CT scans of patients with lung cancer or pneumothorax, you can. Or, if you want to get down to the nitty-gritty and seek out knee MRIs of patients in the Eastern US aged 30-60 with a torn ACL who had their scans taken on a Siemens machine - you can do that too.

Once a user has built out their desired dataset, they can request a sample for Q/A purposes. We will deliver them a ZIP file with both de-identified reports and DICOM files (which contain the imaging information). If they are happy with this, they can then place an order and pay for their entire dataset, which they can get in hand within days.

We have ~100kLOC of Golang to do this fast (datasets are hundreds of GBs), and a bunch of Python to do ML at scale (classification, de-identification, OCR). We are on AWS. We are PostgreSQL / UNIX fans here, and we're looking for a lot of smart people (data engineers, data scientists, ML experts, hardcore software engineers and systems admins). Usual day is: how to extract million images without any PII out of the hospital and present it to clinical data scientists quickly.

Xi Jinping and the PRC are sabotaging their own country to an almost unimaginable extent. Who can trust to invest in China anymore? It was always fraught, but now it is foolish. I don’t think anyone realized how much of an ideologue and authoritarian Xi Jinping is until just the past few years. The next 5 years or so are going to be very interesting.
