Likely implies she resigned, but we will likely never know. All existing C-levels now gone, along with the entire board and many GMs and group VPs. About as clean a house as you are going to get.
it's like cookies. to refuse cookies you "have to" accept a cookie saying you refuse the other cookies.

the difference between the "address book" and the "block list" is that one can be used for marketing/targeting purpose. the other one presumably is on the other side of a chinese wall (could easily be so under FTC condition) where FB can't use it for said purpose. this would generally serve the intended purpose of "removing" your phone number.

your other contacts that felt they should upload an address book in the first place may find surprise or random inconvenience that they can't upload your number.
if you presented both the generated image and the "original" to a jury of peers (or even a panel of experts in the field), they would be able to make a determination as to whether the generated image violated the copyright of the presented "original".

Humans tweaking the image is immaterial to this determination - if the human tweaked it so that it no longer seem to violate copyright, then that said panel would also make the same determination.
I saw a recent Twitter take that was like:

"Who payed for those computers in the 90s that Musk had access to?"

Its like yeah ok, he wasn't found in a dumbster during a civil war. Is that the level now, where nobody can get any credit because they were not born into abject poverty?

That just basically means that 99% of people who achieve anything don't deserve credit for anything.

Its basically materialist logic taken to an absurd degree.
Napster has single points of failure and future p2p had poisoned seeds for tracking.

Stable Diffusion is math and cannot be stopped now the toothpaste is out. You can attempt to regulate, assign draconian requirements by force of law, but ultimately these are as unenforceable as regulating that pi=3.

Ironically, what could help is NFT type tech. Signed with a private artist key, your copy is "original". Even if knockoff generative copies are produced, the digitally signed produced-bys are still authentic.
Looks neat, it sort of reminds me of winamp visualization plugins. It’s probably a good learning experience but as far as utility, in a recording studio, I fail to see how this would bring anything to the table besides it just being some cool visual thing.
Software is next.
Elixir compiles to bytecode for the Erlang VM (BEAM). I would put it in the same relationship category as Clojure and Java or Kotlin and Java. Different language but there's a lot of synergy in the libraries/ecosystem/etc. If something goes wrong in your Elixir application it would be a really good idea to understand Erlang and BEAM.

> I am facing the inevitable question of whether to continue with the project.

No need to figure it out immediately. Here are some ideas that spring to mind:

- Should automatically or manually ingest bookmarks

- Should be able to integrate with macos notes somehow

- Should be able to integrate with email providers - this is bordering on insanity but casual users might like it. Bonus points if you respect privacy and do it securely. HN will hate me for this suggestion, but half of it works at privacy violating corps anyway. Perhaps it could be done as a gmail or google docs addon?

- Integrate with reddit or anything that lets you save or favourite urls

I scatter links all over the place and would be nice to have them all centralised and searchable. Its a really cool app imo.
If you want to define centralization as humans gathering in groups, I guess.

A large portion of human social interaction is peer to peer though.

So california brought online 30GW of gas since 2000, and it's the 5GW net of renewables that's the problem?

That's not surprising. I'd put my money on a good photographer with a crummy camera rather than a crummy photographer with a good camera any day of the week. The biggest part of photography is being able to 'see' the photos before you even raise the camera.
A friend of mine is working on a custom memory controller for specialized devices at Google Cloud. The software people are giving the hardware people tremendous pressure in making sure the memory controller works well with all common powers-of-two strides, besides random strides.

There are some (very primitive by software standards) "hash functions" implemented in hardware to make that work. IIRC at that time they treat the relevant bits in an address as a vector in GF(2) and multiply by a certain hardcoded invertible matrix. (Of course there are properties for that matrix besides being invertible.) The idea is that if a single bit in the input address changes, all output bits should have equal probability of flipping and not flipping (the avalanche effect).
Twitter's market position gives it plenty of power if they just figure out how to use it. If they gave free blue checks to government officials, tenured professors at accredited universities, and licensed medical practitioners, they could easily get away with forcing everyone else to pay. It's the standard nightclub trick: women get in free, men pay. People will pay to be in a group with the highly regarded people you gave free entry to.

> It is a well-established fact that to provide the same stable production on the same scale as existing nuclear reneables need to be either vastly overprovisioned or have extremely high-capacity storage available. Possibly, the combination of both.

Do tell. Then how can it be that globally, in 2021, wind + solar delivered more energy to the grid than nuclear did? 10.31% of total world production vs. 9.94% for nuclear.

Anyone with even a passable knowledge of how grids work, and who isn't stuck arguing in bad faith, would recognize that providing 10% of the grid requires no overprovisioning or storage whatsoever.

It seems that this milestone that you claim is so impossible was already achieved.
In theory it could empower amateur storytellers to punch above their weight by creating semi-professional animated films. Though to be fair, there was a similar realization when it was clear the Quake engine could be used for filming custom narratives rather than just recording gameplay. Not too much came out of that era. Professional artists still better understand what media humans want to consume.
I find playing an acoustic piano more fun and satisfying in various hard-to-define ways, but digital pianos are fine too. It's a matter of preference and convenience more than anything else.

My digital piano actually gets played more these days, but that's just because I like to play in just intonation or non-equal temperaments, and the digital piano is easier to change. My regular piano is currently tuned to just intonation relative to the key of D, which doesn't work for a lot of songs.

By number of sales it's a wash between it and the S. Which are both low volume, high margin, luxury vehicles. Their high volume vehicles, the 3 and the Y drastically out-sell them naturally.

However the X and the S have very high margins in all configurations so they bring in an outsized amount of profit given their share of sales.

That said the margins on the Model 3/Y are nothing to snuff at and are superior to any other mass market vehicle.
Maybe it's a thing in foreign company and foreign employees. Plus, note that reddit thread is 6y old and already plenty of answers say are getting nothing from the company. I've never heard of Japanese company paying Japanese employee for rent, even partially. Nor I would expect it to be a common thing. As said, though, I just worked in two companies and just have a bunch of friends, which makes it purely anecdotal.

I get a few from elderly relatives. And a few more from businesses with legit reasons to call me but who either have not shifted to text/email or blast multiple communication channels.

I never answer my phone unless I'm expecting it or if it is a close relative and I'm not otherwise occupied. I never listen to a voice mail. If I recognize the caller and want to respond I'll send them a text when I get to it. If I don't recognize the caller I might give a quick skim of the VM transcription to see if it was actually important, but it almost never is.
We're having massive issues with Shopify at the moment. They decided that for us to integrate with them, we HAVE TO use Shopify's billing system. We had been using them with an unlisted app for a long time and our mutual customers loved it.

Recently Shopify decided to cut off our unlisted app (or whatever they call it) so that our users can no longer connect to Shopify. The only way we can get verified is to use their billing (we're using Stripe).
Yes. For example, when a song you know you like gets stuck in your head, but you can't remember what it's called or who performed it so can't listen to it.

This app doesn't help with this example, but being interested in something is not enough to remember it.

It’s more difficult to get a tech job at FBI/CIA than Google. Does that make the US government a more desirable place to work?

As an aside, top talent definitely does NOT work at Elon’s companies. Top talent knows that “a good company mission” does not pay for rent, mortgage, or daycare.

"The more ARIA attributes that were present, the more detected accessibility errors could be expected"

This sounds about right for the current state of attention paid to assistive technology. Which is to say, it's an afterthought at best. Buying or installing some half-baked framework which attempts to use it correctly without even determining if it's correct or not and calling it good seems about as far as anyone will take it. One could make an analogy with left-pad: easy to use, but turns out it does the wrong thing for several cases.

Would you mind explaining what's wrong with that code? I'm especially confused how it's similar to Facebook saving purportedly your info when you opt for erasure.
I have a friend who got a new job, then gave it up because his previous employer "reminded" him that he had signed a non-compete.

Now, we're both in Ohio, where it likely would have been enforceable, but the point I'm making is that a court case wasn't necessary - the mere threat was sufficient.
The real danger is if you don't train your people and they stay. That risk is why you train everyone even those who leave.

For cases of expensive training it is fair to demand they pay you back if you don't stay for a couple years. We are talking about a full masters at a major university though, not just some random 3 day design patterns class or whatever the hotness of the day is.
I don't think I'd call their keys "heavy" although others might differ. They feel more like a moderate resistance followed by a nice satisfying thunk when it hits the bottom. Whereas other keyboards feel more springy.

I once wanted to be a journalist in college. Lucky for me, I had a teacher who was a former newscaster for the local Fox news station teaching a class on just that. Long story short, she connected me with someone currently working as a journalist. His advice? Everyone is freelance now, only a rare lucky few are permanent staff writers today. You have to have a social media following, first thing to do is start a Twitter account and build a presence. He also heavily hinted that I should not enter the field unless I absolutely love it because it's getting to be an awful job. Just my experience.
Not only that but it may turn out story tellers would still want to use words and the listeners to prefer using their imagination sometimes too. Not that I have something against CGI or animations but when somehing becomes too much humans get bored.
Their initial assessment was CRITICAL at the point of announcement. Turned out to be only HIGH. Aren't we lucky or what?

Would I have preferred to not deal with it on this holiday? Yes. But I prefer to be safe than sorry, and the OpenSSL team is doing their best to help us be to safe.

When was the last time you had to deal with such an issue, where a HIGH vuln was announced as a CRITICAL one?
We will most likely remember it just like we will remember the rest of the prosperous time of the last several decades. Folks who didn't live through prosperity will never really believe that things were as good as they were. Even many who did love through it will have their memories altered by the media blast messaging about how life was never really that good anyway.

Just like every societal decline throughout history. In millennia, anthropologists will wonder what our primitive society was like at its peak.
It'd be nice if you could just assert facts on a verifiable credential without giving over all the information, like I want to request from my bank that they assert I have regular income > $x/mo or a savings account with at least $y. Not like financial institutions will actually adopt this unless they're forced to by regulation but I basically want to give people exactly enough to provide the service requested and no more.
> Solar panels smaller in area than ISS but produces similar amount of power, indicating much more efficient solar panels

I should hope so after over a decade. AFAIK they haven't changed the solar panels since the last one was installed in 2009 and the design was probably fixed well before the first one was installed.

> A robotic arm similar to ISS that walk along the joint points on the station. It has expandable attachment system, allowing not only astronauts to attach, but also a smaller more precises robotic arm to attach that can manipulate external experiments

Canada Arm also walks along the ISS too using alternating ends that astronauts can be attached to.
A bad analogy for this case, because pirating mp3s doesn't give you, your family and your neighborhood cancer and doesn't generate fat soluble toxic chemicals that accumulate in wildlife, livestock and humans for decades.
Thanks for the very nuanced take. I think part of the reaction is on the tension between these years of efforts to embrace and establish this style as hers, have it associated with her name; versus a project emerging from nowhere to take that name and art style and run away with it.

On a factual/legal level these are nothing burger events, and we'll probably forget about it if two months from now she has a big boost to her career. But I'm kinda skeptical much good will come out of this for her. In our worlds it would close to raising an open source project for a decade, have it succeed and shine in the world with some support money coming in, to then get it cloned by AWS and you're left wondering what you'll do next. This is part of the game, but it sure sucks.

This doesn’t directly answer your question, but when I was in university about 20 years ago, I was in a digital arts program, but I focused on algorithmic art and using programming to generate images. I came to the realization that "style" doesn’t matter, and the body of work I produced really looked quite different from one project to the next. I could generate countless numbers of images in a particular style but then moved on.
The art in my case was thinking of style as parameters and certain constraints.

What is the process for disclosing or discovering non-competes? Ostensibly part of a private citizen's employment contract, that's a confidential document.

Of course, it’s professionals using it rather than amateurs. I expect generative AI would largely turn out the same way.
Yeah, sure, but that's because streaming was merely more convenient than Napster. No more downloading bad songs with bad metadata. No more lugging around and hand curating an mp3 library. And for a lot of people: no more having to choose what to listen to.

In two years people will be generating novel music of any style with any vocals and vocalists they want. That'll be even more of a fit to consumers' wants. They'll never run out of music that will appeal to them.

I'm currently working in this space and it's wild the things that are possible.

Tricks for monetizing mobile game players with free-to-play (2016)
You can create an account with just your email
If you or your children want to start learning how to play the piano, I would suggest starting with a decent electronic piano. As others have noted here, while they still don’t have all the nuance, warmth, or personality of great acoustic pianos, they have improved a lot in recent years. They also have some advantages: volume control, playability with headphones, staying in tune, etc.

While you or your kids are getting better at playing your electronic piano, you should also take whatever opportunities you can to try acoustic pianos. That will give you an idea of the range of tones, touch, and quality of acoustics, and you will find out what it’s like to play on a piano that is not perfectly in tune. You will then be in a position to start deciding whether you want to invest in an acoustic piano or not.

I myself learned how to play as a child on several mediocre acoustic pianos, maintained my skills for a couple of decades on so-so electronic pianos, and for the last twenty years have been playing an acoustic grand piano (Boston, designed by Steinway and made by Kawai) that I bought new. It cost about as much as a new car and I spend more than five hundred dollars a year to keep it tuned and in good shape, but it’s worth it to me.

Twitter tells worried employees their vested shares will be paid in coming days
Language is important. There's a clear distinction between the left, leftists, and the Democratic party.

We often call the Democratic party the left, but they are not a leftist party. (In fact they are a pretty bog standard centrist party these days).

Just like the right isn't some monoculture, the left has pretty important sub groups. Leftist typically implies socialist, anarchist, maybe social democrats, communists, etc.
It might be a "Google hampering the Firefox experience" thing, but I've noticed the ability to drop into street view is no longer working in places it used to work even on the main Google maps site.

I can't help but wonder if the free lunch for street view is slowly coming to an end.
Yeah that is pretty common in the hedge fund/trading world. They call it garden leave and you get your base salary for usually 6-18 months. The downside to that is you only get your base salary which is usually a fraction of the expected bonus.
I think the tech evolution will drive a niche luxury market for authenticity.
Sounds like a valuable problem for twitter to play cat-and-mouse with. They literally make money for every try.
