The only outcome of this would be that all commercial image/video AI creation tools are Chinese, but illegal to directly use in the West, so everyone wanting to do this legally has to pay contractors in China instead that semi-unofficially use these tools, but pretend not to.

I mean all you have to do to not get banned is not act like a child and name-call, inflict/wish for violence or threats, and any other illegal things. It seems one political ideology can’t seem to post without those things. Interesting.
Twitter is a social media platform, that space is never going to have the kind of social cache novel space exploration does. It doesn't matter how amazing of a communication app or social media platform it is, as a job it is less epic than working on getting a guy to mars - this is my documentary argument from earlier.

Rising interest rates won't reduce the price of anything. Best it can do is slow the inflation down.
Increasing costs for spammers is one of the few effective ways you can combat spammers.

As one of the former heads of product at Twitter said they wanted to add multiple types of badges. You have a badge for verified identities, you have a badge for people who want to remain anonymous but pay to participate so they can provide a hint they're not spammer, and you provide a badge for notable personalities.
Sure. Personal knowledge graph should be automatically connected to "global knowledge graph" for better insight and context.

We already have several online database that could serve as "global knowledge graph" (wikidata, golden, imdb, rateyourmusic, goodreads, letterboxd, anidb, etc). The problem of to integrate it.

Right. I doubt many people would disagree copyright REFORM is sorely lacking. Or are you suggesting that an artist is not allowed to benefit from their work because Disney has extended copyright?
Oh it absolutely can, it has in the past and if interest rates get too high you will see deflation. Higher interest rates and quantitative tightening reduce the supply of money. However that is not the goal. That would be a policy failure.
> Model X is one of the best selling electric cars in the US

No, that car is essentially a failure and I'm amazed Tesla hasn't completely cut it from production.

It sold 1,316 units in the US September. They were selling almost 4,000 in September of '18. Even if you wanted to go by year, you're talking about 26,000 sold in the entire US in 2020 (it's best year and I'm ignoring '21 since there was a factory shut down)[1].

It's just not a good vehicle, doesn't sell well, and is utterly unusable if you live anywhere with rain or snow.

Driving 1% of the variance is not the same as reducing your brain mass by 1%. Without knowing anything about the brain, Reducing your brain mass by 1% sounds pretty crazy to me, and probably has extreme negative effects very far before hitting 100% loss.

It’s not absurd to say the negative effects of air pollution on this specific outcome are mostly negligible but still not want air pollution for other reasons. Which is a hypothetical statement of course because we don’t have any data here.
And we have zero support on any of those topics from the current administration, which is solely focused on NOT supplying BTUs to the market. Some see this as a good thing, so welcome to the outcomes they’ve been wanting. Time will tell if Americans actually prefer this.

Carlsbad, NM isn't a big town. Head Southeast from there and it's quite a large stretch of land that's not used for much besides oil exploration, some cattle grazing, and the WIPP site. The population density is so low in that area that it seemed like a good place to test ways of storing nuclear waste long-term. This is one of the places where they're working on figuring out a way to warn future civilizations not to try and dig up what is buried there.

I'm not the least bit surprised it took aerial surveys to notice the situation.

That's all true, but sometimes your overriding goal isn't to create a beautiful photograph, it's to record a particular thing at a particular moment.

Then camera technology really does make a massive difference, especially in low light, etc.
In some market segments this has already happenned - laptops, desktops, fast servers. SSD prices came down substantially. They are predicted to go down further, but I don't think they will surpass HDDs at gigabytes/dollar. Flash manufacturers won't go as low with prices, they will rather restrict supply.

HDDs will continue to be used for big storage. They are cheaper per GB and power usage is not that much worse on average (only spinups are energy demanding). Looking forward to 100TB HDD drives.
And yet, we still look to Socrates for wisdom today. We reference his ideas, we guide our actions based on his wisdom. Does he know about Ai? Nope. Does that make him irrelevant? Nope.
His ideas of virtue and abstraction are still totally relevant and taught in colleges and universities throughout the world. It is precisely by thinking beyond ourselves that we touch the infinite.

And it would be perfectly reasonable for Socrates to say “Wouldn’t you say that it is better to be wise than not wise? And of all the creatures on this earth isn’t there but one capable of wisdom, or at least capable of presenting an intelligible account of wisdom? And if those two things are true. And in order for the light of wisdom to persist and spread, is it not best to preserve the only creature capable of wisdom? Should we not then make every effort to spread that creature and wisdom itself as widely through time and space as is possible?”

I suspect Socrates would have identified as a longtermist.
Renting isn't even feasible. I couldn't even begin to tell you where I'd rent a pickup that would work for this. Supposing I found one, I'd have to make all the arrangements to retrieve it, then spend a few hours setting up the towing equipment for it, and then make all the arrangements to send it back.

LOL, no. It can sit in my garage getting used every couple weeks for the next 10 years. That's what I do with trucks. They are utility vehicles.
Good. Nice clean slate to get some a level players in.
If you took away the publicity angle (which Elon Musk can't take away but we can hypothetically), Stephen King's social media professionals might pay $800/month and not even tell him if that's what helped accomplish their goals.
Tragic they didn't go with Mayday's tileset. It was the best tileset, objectively. If you look at its goblin graphics, you'll be instantly convinced, "Yes, objectively, this is the best tileset there could ever be, and I am now a terminal aesthetic realist."
I tried to go a little further since the depression study seemed to be focused on total brain matter. I might make a mistake here, but...

Grey matter is about 40% of the brain, white matter is 60%, so if we're talking about absolute matter, we should factor that in.

For 0 to 3 drinks:

GMV: -0.380 x 0.4 = -0.152 SD
WMV: -0.223 x 0.6 = -0.1338 SD

Should be sum of 0.2858 standard deviations of total brain matter, or about 2.5% reduction.

For 0 to 2 drinks:

GMV: -0.157 x 0.4 = -0.0628 SD
WMV: -0.094 x 0.6 = -0.0564 SD

0.1192 SD or about 1.05% reduction
I’m a professional pianist. Undoubtedly this is true for some. But there are important tonal and other differences that may be the overriding factor. I regularly played a smaller Bösendorfer that I despised; its tone was ordinary and its action was uneven and imprecise. But a few years ago I performed on an Imperial Flügel that was spectacular. My own instrument for practice at home is a Steinway B, and I prefer it irrespective of whether more expensive pianos exist. But maybe that’s not what you had in mind for “personal use.”

As only a shitty C developer, I do have a question regarding the possible uses of this kind of technology.

> Imagine a new form of news and communication that solves all of our social woes, allows people to be informed, and have constructive discourse.

I did imagine that happening once - I imagined the internet would lead to that. The state of things now is very different from what the me of 15 years ago imagined, in part because of things like twitter in fact. I now believe that social woes have significant parts that aren't just misunderstandings they are big problems that can't be solved only through dialogue. Further many of the misunderstandings are actually deliberate misrepresentations - how many people who are pro-choice have you seen making the incredibly bad faith argument that pro-lifers just want to control/punish women? (Note I am pro-choice myself, but that particular argument is a really shitty obviously untrue argument and I see it constantly and it really gives me the shits).

> I'm sure Elon will have a mission statement that will appeal to some people.
This I do agree with, but I think the pool of people that are willing to work crazy hours at sub-standard pay is smaller when the work is making whatever Musk's improved version of twitter looks like than it is for putting someone on mars or making electric cars mainstream.
But what about the so on?

One thing use case I can think of is a private detective who is tracking people. It would be a good place to keep notes or links to public information databases, property records, contact information, interview notes, etc.

Another one would be authors that are writing books that involve a lot of places, things, or people that need to be either accurately described or, in the case of sci-fi or fantasy, have an imagined description that needs to be recorded for continuity.

I'm imagining it sort of like an online version of a file cabinet where you have folders on all kinds of topics filled with notes and printouts. A more digital analogy would be a visual, annotated bookmark folder.

I have some folders like this at work. I need to access a lot of various reference manuals or standards that are difficult or impossible to find online, either because they come from a vendor under NDA or come from databases that are expensive or just hard to maintain continuous access to. Sometimes they are scans of hardcopies that I've had to request because the information is just so old. Whenever I get my hands on something I know I'll probably need again, I save a copy to my folder system. I'd love some sort of better filing system for these that would allow me to annotate the documents and provide some sort of synopsis that would help me remember why it's useful or why I used it in the past.
I can imagine the exchange between Stephen King and his agent:

> "Stephen, I'm trying to market your books, but the publishers aren't seeing any engagement on Twitter".

> "Oh I left because I don't want to pay $20 / month to someone I disagree with politically."

> "Have you been hitting the bottle again?"

End of conversation. The value most of these celebrities get vastly exceeds $20 / month. The Twitter-celebrity relationship is symbiotic, nor parasitic.
Yeah the article felt intellectually honest and I enjoyed it, but was hoping for at least a footnote that multithreading is 1 solution. Async/await is another possible solution. There appears to be no shared state. But in fairness, python's state of multiprocessing, multithreading, and async/await just leaves too many options for a general language programmer to keep track of and perhaps it's just lack of knowing these things exist.

Yeah, I learned LFE a few years back after years of (sadly only) hobby Erlang programming. I don't think anything in it surprised me. It felt very much like: What if Erlang's syntax were replaced with sexprs and we used Lisp-y style macros? Clojure's relationship to Java is nowhere near the same.

Knowing Erlang + Scheme and CL, LFE like exactly what I expected, with a strong Erlang vibe. Knowing Java + Scheme and CL, Clojure felt nothing like Java except that it could access Java classes and objects.
I left Twitter a few years ago, and other than stories about Twitter itself I can’t think of the last time I saw Twitter content.

I’m a middle aged tech dude and I see more tik tok content! And I don’t have any tik tok presence.

I think it’s really easy to over-estimate twitters impact. I virtually never see anything from it.
Question: What is the most entrepreneurial city to live in?
As someone who never been to the US, I've some ideals on what life in the Bay Area is like: full of open-minded, smart, and entrepreneurial people. Yet, all the recent news seems to be rather negative on San Francisco, stating that crime has gone up, and that many people are leaving the Bay Area. Yet, I'm curious: if not the Bay Area, what would the most entrepreneurial place full of talent and startups?

I'd argue that although SF is not what it used to be, it still might be a great place to live for entrepreneurs.

European cities like Amsterdam, London, Stockholm, and Berlin are also getting more "entrepreneurial": attracting more open-minded and talented people with an ambition to build the next Spotify (in Europe's case)
The funny thing is there is totally a fix for this.

I think the problem is ethics models kind of fall apart here. You can trivially make an argument both for and against this on the grounds of ethics. Legally it seems pretty clear nothing wrong is being done here. A human can train on a particular artists style and lift it just fine. Which they regularly do. We just made it way way easier now.

So sure, we can empathize with someone feeling kind of off about the situation. But at the same time its kind of eh, that's how the world is.

Ask HN: How do you like to layout your IDE / dev environment?
Hey all, I've never been one to tinker too much with the default layouts or settings of any IDE I have used. Still, I feel like I need to make better use of the screen real estate available to me.

How do you like to layout up your dev environment?

When using Jetbrains' editors, I've always gone with files on the left, the terminal at the bottom, and code in the centre; I wonder what other people have found ergonomic or enjoyed.

I'm also keen to hear from those who don't use IDEs of course!
I dont see the problem with this. What is "Gum workflow" in this context ?
I mean that's the thing, that wasn't the deal. No company, at all, would sign that agreement. Usually there is an nda, some kind of business agreement that says they won't steal your idea etc. and then they do. It's not like a company goes to China or another lower cost to manufacture country and signs an agreement to give them their business.
Make fun all you want, bro. The days of juggling chainsaws are coming to an end. The NSA is crying.
> why do you think it's ok to train diffusion models on copyrighted work, but not co-pilot on GPL code?

Probably worth pointing out that GitHub has a license to the code on its site (read the fine print) that is independent of other licenses that the code may available under.

Whether that license applies to training ML models is legally uncharted waters.

Whether it’s right to train those models is another matter.
The world’s ten richest men more than doubled their fortunes from $700 billion to $1.5 trillion —at a rate of $15,000 per second or $1.3 billion a day— during the first two years of a pandemic that has seen the incomes of 99 percent of humanity fall and over 160 million more people forced into poverty.

While inflation hurts we need some of these crazy money and valuations to come down to realistic levels . I don’t want Elon Musk to become the next Rupert Murdoch.
> True performance RISCV designs are going to be people's money maker and never open sourced.

That turns out not to be the case.

Alibaba's C910 core -- roughly comparable to the ARM A72 cores (at the same MHz) in the Pi 4 -- is open sourced. It is being used, at 2.5 GHz, in the upcoming "Roma" laptop. That is rather expensive (for now), but I suspect the same TH1520 SoC will quickly find its way onto cheaper SBCs.

There is a very wide OoO GPL'd RISC-V core that is under development. It is aiming for eventual Apple M1 level performance. The current iteration is falling short of that at the moment, but it's already comparable to the ARM A76 in the latest RK3588 SBCs: https://github.com/MoonbaseOtago/vroom

How exactly should they be paying for the increased risk to peoples safety and the extra air pollution they create. Should we be calculating the number of years they took off people lives due to the particulate pollution? If they have an accident and kill someone, should that be punished more harshly than regular since they chose to pick a more dangerous form of transport?
