Measuring scientific progress is tricky. The elucidation of the structure of DNA transformed genetics and biology. But was it bigger than recombinant DNA, or CRISPR? In some ways yes, because we knew so little before that breakthrough. But we keep making unexpected and even sometimes revolutionary discoveries. It is a lot easier to make big discoveries when little is known. So, on a percentage basis, the more you know, the harder it is to have a big impact. But recombinant DNA, embryonic stem cells, CRISPR, were transforming discoveries. Molecular biology was not "done" once the central dogma was established.

Thank you. I've been reading about cloudflare zero trust with some interest, but it seems like there are some shortcomings of the solution for my use-case. For example, cloudflare states they don't mask the ip you are coming from when connecting to external sites and services (unless I misunderstood somehow), which would put me in the position of having to whitelist an entire coworking space or coffee shop when I need to tell an external service how to allow my computer to connect.

I haven't tracked Windows ARM beyond the IoT editions, but you are mostly right. I see it as good re-use of something that makes complete sense if you want to match Intel configuration and hardware security options.
Oh, agreed. This is Brave New World territory.

My suggestion is to accept it as a thing that will be here and tune our expectations appropriately. Because if it is made illegal, it will be one of those things that's illegal-but-omnipresent, like sharing music on BitTorrent... The Western copyright regime doesn't blanket the world, and the advantages of these tools are so big that places it doesn't reach will just use them. The fact that this story is about a Nigerian engineer in Canada using software developed in San Francisco running on some computers in Northern Virginia to ape the artistic style of an artist from LA, none of these parties having ever met each other, indicates how empty the bottle is the genie used to live in.
> Unfortunately, we won't see anti-nationalism coming to the same level as atheism even in our lifetimes.

Neoliberalism is clearly anti-nationalism, and it's been the dominant ideology for at least 3 decades. Neoliberalism seeks to eradicate borders, weaken states, and empower transnational corporations to privatize and exploit the resources of once-sovereign countries.

There's been a "war on nations" since WW2 and the rise of the superpowers, and only in the last decade has the tide started to turn.

A key fact is that Reagan was not a nationalist, he was an anti-nationalist that used purely performative, aesthetic nationalism to disguise neoliberal policies.
What’s 2/3 of the Average? (2009)
No, it's opposing, not contradictory.

"Contradictory" presumes that a given property is Boolean and thus if it isn't one value, it must be the other.

Very few useful properties outside of the artificial worlds of logic and computing are Boolean. Most properties we are trying to design systems for out in the real world continuously varying and often multi-dimensional.

That's why optimizing them requires difficult trade-offs.
By that case all art should be copyrighted since our brain stores a highly compressed version of everything we've seen.

I wager 100 TB => 4GB is different from JPEG compression and more similar to what happens in our brains. "Neural compression" so to speak
My dad once told me about when he was a kid, some Christmas specials would only be played a few times on CBC right before Christmas. If you missed them, you had to wait a year. He said that became a tradition.

When he went to share his tradition with us, he was a bit bothered by the idea of "get it on VHS!" He actually protested the idea. "I didn't want you watching it at any time. It should be a tradition." And indeed it became a tradition for my brothers and I.

My kids are 3 and 5 and "Nightmare Before Christmas" was a huge hit last Halloween. My kids wanted to watch it 3 or 4 times that Halloween week. It's available for streaming so that was easy. But then they watched it in November. And January. And a bunch in the spring and summer. ...And they never asked for it this year.

There's a quality bestowed through scarcity. When you have it all the time, on-demand, there is no scarcity. When you can generate art instantly, in any style, of anything, I think it stops being exciting. For example, I don't think the concept of "ahahaha look, it's the Avengers but as Muppets!" or "It's me, but as a Simpson's character!" will have any amusement value by next year.

Maybe I should be asking Gene Roddenberry but I'll ask all of you: do you think there's something lost by eliminating scarcity?
Well, now I know not to take it personally. :) Same thing happened to me.
The difference is that JPEG does store the real image, at least close enough to within the given tolerance (determined by the compression factor). That image is as real as say an image on film (also not exact, nor in "original" form).

With Stable Diffusion it's storing the style, but can't reproduce any single input image-- there aren't enough bits [0]. (except by luck, but that's really true for any storage).

I see, thank you. Your initial description sounded more like a maple seed's wing. I did not know you could generate lift as described in your links.
Unfortunately it’s about $2,720 per 2.2 lbs in even the best case scenario.
Yeah that gave me pause.
Well, if things don't work out in this use-case, there's always an opportunity to greatly evolve the tech industry with your compression. That resultant comprssion size sounds crazy amazing! Kudos to you and your team for your launch!
Wouldn't that mean that it doesn't matter which nation is controlling piece of land you live on? So no point really fighting against invasions.

Models don't predict anything about space or the universe. We can't do anything out in the universe, only down here in earth atmospheres. You'd rightly assume somebody daft if they suggested using economic models on the universe, but not quantum physical models.

I'm not pushing my models or cosmology, I'm destroying the lie of academic cosmology based on weak rational sciences. I cannot convince you of another cosmology if you can't disbelieve what you've been told. You believe science has actually been done on the cosmos, because measurements.

You believe big bang, black holes, entropy and heat death, and infinite space, rather than reckoning those are things that disprove. You believe thermodynamics is universal and eternal, despite the fact that life itself breaks with them, and is older than most of your "stars" in "space". You deny your own existence to believe in scifi universality.

No internet link is going to convince you otherwise.

We are a company trying to tackle climate change through energy efficiency. The built world (residential and commercial buildings) accounts for about 40% of carbon emissions. We aim to do something about that. In a nutshell, we turn the budget and energy consumption of a building into an engineering optimization problem using data (collected from the building with a proprietary IoT platform) and software. Our stack is primarily React, Rust, and Postgres on GCP.
We are looking for intelligent people who care about climate change. We are well funded and have the backing of important minds in our space. We are looking for:

- Staff Software Engineer (Backend)
- Staff Software Engineer (Frontend)
- Engineering Manager
- Senior Software Engineer (Backend)
- Software Engineer (Fullstack)

This is a weird example where we are handing our adversaries something, and they are quietly stockpiling it. And we have no idea what they are doing with it, but it's just kind a weirding out our foreign policy experts.
> If Python or JS sit idle waiting for user input, are the efficiencies really so different?

Nit pick: Python is typically at least an order of magnitude slower than JS, it's a whole different class of slow.

> Developer time also has energy cost in AC, transport, etc for a human.

Yes and fixing bugs in production is especially expensive. Presumably that's why Python is now trying to retrofit static types. There are statically typed languages that are just as terse as Python.

Twitter gets bad content because Twitter promotes bad content, and that happens because Twitter's work culture prioritises engagement metrics over meaningful interactions.

The underlying problem is a problem of Twitter-the-company, the actual problem of Twitter-the-product is technical and can be solved by going easier on engagement-based recommendations.

Hypothetical Nation A allows democratic freedom of expression and respects human rights. Hypothetical Nation B has a tyrannical government that censors and imprisons anyone who questions it and constantly violates the rights of its people.

Nation A and Nation B go to war. Do you care who wins? If you don't care, there's something wrong with you. If you do care, people will accuse of being a nationalist.

At the end of the day we need to distinguish between racism and nationalism. Some nations are simply better places to live than others.
Re. Point 2:

Artists are granted copyright for their work by default per the Berne Convention. These copyrighted works are then used without consent of the original author for these models.

Additionally, the argument that you can't copyright a style is playing fast and loose with most things that are proprietary, semantically.

Seems like a pointless complain to me. It’s arguing for the sake of it.

He starts off with "Power to the people", but this is just "power to the people with money"(which is the status quo). If you don't have $8/mo disposable income to spend on a vanity feature, then what you have to say will be overshadowed by the people who do.

I didn't make this claim that someone would be good just because of the amount of time spent, the claim I made that is harsh criticism to make when they have.

For example if you just started strength training, have been at it for just a few weeks and someone said "you're not very strong" that's not harsh criticism because you just started, but if you've been strength training for 10-20 years and someone said "you're not very strong" that criticism hits different right?

Does it make sense what I am saying now?

This artist will probably read these HN comments, and I'm struck by how cruel the comments are to someone who's just out there creating wonderful content, didn't ask for any of this, so many of you here do not care about how she feels.

I also call into question the ability of these HN commenter's competence at critiquing art.
<<An adversary. Different discussion.

No. Same exact discussion. Those are not separate conversations thanks at partially to globalism and our interconnectedness and interdependence.

<<To my knowledge, regulators haven't raised anti-trust concerns with Tik Tok the way they have with Facebook.

Yes, regulators also didn't raise any anti-trust concerns in general lately, where US economy is full of oligopolies, where individual companies have the resources, power and impact equal to some nation states and appetites to lock customers even further in their respective locked gardens. I am sorry, but I do not find this argument persuasive based on the reality on the ground alone. You can throw a rock at almost any industry in US and you will find several top dogs owning everything in it. And this is before we get to regulatory capture and revolving doors.

edit: To sum up, people like me would argue regulators are not doing their jobs.

<< We don't need to justify enforcement on Tik Tok against our lenience with Facebook because they're separate conversations.

Why not? Scratch that. Why are they separate conversations? It seems TikTok and FB are the same type of app. The only difference is that TikTok is housed in the wrong country.

<< And nobody has taken the public-health mantel when it comes to social media.

Could you elaborate a little? I think I know what you are trying to say, but I do not want to put words in your mouth.
Duh.

No reasonable adult (in any country) would go on the record to propose that a hostile foreign government should run any part of their internal communication infrastructure. It's well documented that all companies in China are beholden to the political whims of the Chinese Communist Party; when national security is at issue, Chinese companies and the Chinese government are one entity, sadly.

I'm squinting skeptically at all the comments here that are confused about this, especially the ones with extra helpings of carefully chosen rhetoric (whatabout-ism, free speech, free markets, etc). There are no "free speech" issues here, ByteDance is a foreign company, not a US person. This is a national security issue.

If you think it's cool to allow TikTok in Western countries, please explain why it would have been fine to allow the Nazis to run the Royal Mail, the US Postal Service, and one third of the broadcasting services in the 1930s. Would that have been a "free speech" or "free market" issue?

The Chinese government has a long way to go to earn the trust of other countries.

See this list of common Chinese propaganda themes to check if they may have already influenced you.

Certainly something is lost by removing scarcity... at the same time, once that scarcity is gone, it can't be restored short of civilizational collapse. There's no way to put the streaming genie back in the bottle, nor the Stable Diffusion genie.
I don't think we'll know how it affects things until we can get a couple years of data. And that's assuming they have a good baseline of data to compare it to now. I'm guessing that it doesn't change too much.
If you are willing to throw out the moral reason, then the legal reason is just an empty rule.
> if an artist spends years learning to paint in the style of Michelangelo is that immoral?

I'd say that artist has gained a lot by studying Michaelangelo, including an appreciation for what Michaelangelo himself accomplished and insights into how to paint as well or better, and maybe even how to teach that to other people. I don't think we get those benefits from AI models doing that (at least not yet!)
Your browser needs to support sharing geolocation.
I think the actual issue is the underlying culture. Google worked fine with multiple review cycles and you could get a good rating working on something hard that only shipped when it was ready.

However it is an optimistic sign in that leadership must get that part of the problem (long term vision is penalized) and is taking steps to address it. Maybe I judged them too harshly above; I don't know what I would do in their position to turn the ship around.
Bringing .NET to EdgeDB
On a serious note I think the problem is actually the heavy moderation

I think the problem is crude filtering falsely labeled moderation. What you'd want is a moderator who demands decent quality arguments on the topic at hand.

What you have is just removal of everyone not agreeing with a given viewpoint and allowing intemperate advocates of the given viewpoint to make the position garbage.
As I said I think Musk posted it as satire. The article read as if it was from Babylon Bee. At no point I even questioned if he was serious about this. He does troll like that all the time, its really silly to blame him when after all this time people still take everything he says at face value.

If you actually read that article (and not just the media complaining about that he linked it) and came to the conclusion that Musk though the story was legit, then maybe reevaluate the intelligence you attribute to him. You may not like his opinion on things but he can not be that stupid.

Also the "right-wing terrorist attack" is you spreading propaganda.
Thanks so much, we love Tovera's mission too!
>other than boxes being connected by arrows

Well, that's because that's basically it, lol.

But I get your sentiment and, sure, there's a lot of things where this could be applied and that hasn't happened already. It's definitely a field with a prolific future, though. I've personally applied many ideas I got from there into my smallish ventures with good results.
It's pretty clear that's serious.

I find it strange you would read this as sarcasm - it's been pretty hard to miss the descent into fascism of the American right wing.
I've been thinking of writing more. Doing real text layout is one of the tricky bits, and one that terminals sidestep because layout calculations are trivial as long as you narrow scope down to grids of monospaced ASCII characters.

But still those ACME records need to be updated every time on my outside DNS server right? Or is it just a static record? That I can do, a dynamic one is very hard with my DNS provider (meaning I still need to do everything manually every 3 months which is not an option).

I also don't really like leaking internal network info in my external DNS provider which is why I run my own internal DNSes. And I use a domain for my internal network which does not really exist in the real world, I don't know if letsencrypt can handle this.

I have indeed not tried it recently, the last time I tried it it was about 1 year since they launched. Trying to script all the firewall rules to open the ports for a second was a real PITA.

I'll have a look at this, thanks for the heads-up.
