> I suppose the key reason is ABI is not defined by the language standard? Nor is it is something (AFAIK) that would be standardized on Windows. This is not the same thing as binary compatibility on windows but rather about the internals of virtual function tables and so on.

Not really. Windows already has specific ABIs that it follows (in NTDLL, MSVCRT, COM DLLs), etc., and that includes virtual functions and exception tables and unwinding and all that. MSVC follows them fine. There's no reason other compilers shouldn't be able to. They just don't seem to want to.

> There are other problems as well from the "hands off" quality of the standard.

Sure, but none of them imply "it's better to defy the convention by default". You still lessen the friction by following the convention.

> Endemic of how bad the situation is regarding C++ DLL:s is that you can't free memory in a different C++ DLL than where it was allocated. Well, you _can_ but most of the time you shouldn't.

That's an orthogonal problem, it's not like you're somehow making that problem any easier by switching to a different ABI than what you know is already conventional on the platform.
> Strong stem growth in early plant development relies in part on wind exposure, and without any wind, plants will collapse later in development under their own weight

That's interesting - I wonder if there's been any studies to find out if vegetation behind wind turbines grow abnormally. It would seem like taking terawatts of power from the wind across the planet could take some toll (though still probably a huge net improvement over hydrocarbons).
1. The whole point of SAFE is that it's not a convertible debt note. It's not a loan - you don't need to return it.

2. You would be lying here. And you assume that YC partners will not catch it, which I doubt. YC invests in people, not in ideas. Some YC startups pivoted to be a services companies (one example is web scraping-as-a-service), and they are selling their services to other YC alumni startups. I don't think it's a good idea to strive to build a life-services business, better have some ambigous goal first, and only in the worst case pivot to productized services, lifestyle, or consulting company. Remember starting up a small company and starting up a large company takes more or less the same effort (at least initially).

They are obliged to ship "the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it." I would think that for most contemporary development workflows (where one is accustomed to using blame/bisect/etc. during development) that would be a git repository.

Seems like I have been looking and playing around with too many of these AI-Generated imagery! I got the first 15-odd all correct.
Interesting implications for "neuro-symbolic" computation and the so-called classical-neural synthesis many are looking for in deep learning, and Cognitive Science more broadly.

Does this mean that minds don't ever naturally build symbolic models of the world, or rather just that they try to minimize the computationally intensive (and now NP-hard) task of uncovering a symbolic model? I'd definitely lean toward the latter (ironically due to my intuition).

It also aligns quite well with Kahneman's System 1 - System 2 distinction, where the symbolic System 2 is reserved for situations that most strongly require such computation.
Random question, if you don't mind. What does symbolic fitting give you that normal regression doesn't? Usually in physics, an analytic solution (our term) yields physical insight, although not everyone is a physicist and cares about that, hence why machine learning in general is popular.
FTX: The $32B Implosion
My game is looking at the eyes, seems like the model has a tendency to make faces that have pretty much mirrored eye shapes and sockets, pupils being clear of imperfections or just plain circles or even both pupils being identical to each other, tilt is also a huge issue, most of the AI images have their output "looking directly into the lens" and nearly perpendicular to the aperture, real humans are off center in more ways than one in all of these aspects and more, as well as having numerous orientations

To me, looking at the background is kind of cheating to sus out facial features, after all we are trying to figure out if the face is real not the background
> Because he referenced the GPL, which includes such a clause indicating that there is no quality beyond the source that constitutes the property.

That clause means that the author of the code isn’t legally liable for defects.

How is this relevant at all to the article? Nobody is talking about legal action.

>> He is saying it is necessary but not sufficient for empowering people.

> That's circumstantial, like most things in life.

Obviously. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter, nor that we shouldn’t discuss it.

> You continue to argue in bad faith along every one of these digressions from the article.

Generally when someone complains about an argument being in bad faith it means they are personally invested in defending something they think is under attack. It’s not clear to me what you think you are defending.

The point is you don’t have to dial an area code with the 555.

555-abcd, sans area code, would just work and route to you no matter where (in the USA) a caller was calling from.

Therefore it is equivalent to having that number in every area code.

Now there is a good chance you aren’t old enough to know/remember this, but people in the US didn’t have to dial an area code (and occasionally nearby area codes) when calling people in their own area code. In the era of land lines this was the norm.

You paid a lot of money per minute to call people “long distance” in other area codes.

Now it’s absolutely normal and routine to dial with an area code, in large part because people’s numbers follow them around and there is no reason to think someone geographically near you is in the same area code.
I think you underestimate how attractive “get rich quick” schemes are, especially to new generations that didn’t experience the fad yet.

Still it's probably more likely Lewis cared more about documenting another unique business success story than really understanding his subject matter.

>also sometimes customers do love and praise it if they aren't the users

This is important and often overlooked. Many times, the customers for some software are not the same as the users of that software. The customers are the only ones who matter: they're the ones who pay for the software. The users don't matter at all: even if they absolutely loathe the software, so what? They have no power to change things and aren't writing the checks. Screw 'em. If they don't like it, they can find another job.

As a result of this, we get "enterprise software".

Since this uses StyleGAN, it's relatively easy to tell when an image is fake or real, since the networks seems to have trouble with backgrounds and faces that are directly adjacent to the main face.

However, since diffusion models are all the rage now, I think we would perform significantly worse with landscapes or images of fruits and animals, especially if the task is "distinguish between the real and fake art".

Thank you for the comment, and some very valid points. I am a trader so I am doing this for profits, not empire building. That should speak for buying everything off the shelf (I have also noted that data/SaaS products tend to become cheaper over time).

However, USD 50.000 extra over 20 years is USD 1 mio, and the fact that things comes off the shelf doesn’t mean that I won’t have to tweak, ie there will be some personal and programming costs even in the off the shelf solution.
I'd rather say everyone else focussed too much on the "in German" part. That really was the least of the problem with the process.

wrt to my "tone" - that is rather a stylistic thing - I am trying to write with a bit of humour - tongue in cheek. I do literally know what a notary is, yet at the same time the notary process is quite alien if you are from the UK (I am aware they exist there too but they are rare).

Indeed the historical reason for some of these things is quite interesting. Someone else shared some detailed article about it with me a while ago.

I would acknowledge that there are "benefits" to this laborious process - such as less shell companies or fraud.
That was the official plan.
I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted when I say psychics are fake. But sometimes a good lead is simply an idea that they hadn't considered yet. That's why police will take tips from anyone who feels they have one to give.

I doubt they ever "go to" a psychic. It's probably more like a psychic shows up saying they come with tips. Then they advertise that they helped solve the case. Without the proper training and licensing, they're definitely not on the police payroll.

I'm sure the vast majority of calls to Crime Stoppers are probably people's imaginations gone wild. But without leaving the door open, there is a lot they could miss.
Slow software that does the job for you or spares you hours, days or even weeks is still better than no software at all.
crypto dot com CEO Kris Marszalek has posted earlier today that his exchange has regularly sent twenty million dollars or more to other exchanges to hedge exposure gained by trading against its customers. crypto dot com CEO Kris Marszalek does not seem to understand that he has confessed to several crimes and that customers who deposit dollars at an exchange expect that they have claims against a boring business that custodies funds and collects fees, not claims against an exciting business that regularly assumes twenty million dollars of directional risk by selling customers tokens they do not physically have and then buying them somewhere else later. Here is crypto dot com CEO Kris Marszalek's confession: https://twitter.com/kris/status/1591928306097868800

crypto dot com CEO Kris Marszalek also does not seem to understand that this is a particularly bad time to tell his customers that he is an incompetent criminal who is constantly trading against them with funds he does not have and misappropriating their deposits because less than a week ago customers of a different exchange lost 10 billion dollars in a similar situation.

What are the potential uses of this? Is it more about exploring how the user terminal works, or is it about enabling new features somehow on the user terminal?
Then it's also the end of crypto as a consumer product. Centralized exchanges offered a ton of usability and monetary incentives that brought people into crypto.

Trying to rebuild a user base without those things will essentially be impossible. Even during the days of free money in 2021, the full crypto user base wasn't huge. With high interest rates, tons of fraud in the rearview mirror, and enormous obstacles to usage, the community will be a tiny fraction of even its previous tiny fraction of traditional banking customers.
I said "with my Nikon". You said definitively that it "can be disabled". Your statement was incorrect - you were the one extrapolating.
Sorry that happened to you.

I'd argue the time to get out passed long before delays. The time to get out is when a competitor has delays(if you're so lucky). I remember reading and studying Celsius vs Voyager for about a month before I put low 5 figures into Voyager. Hey, free money right?

Then Celsius hit snags, and people were -still- recommending Voyager. I noped right out and withdrew it all.

What do you know, a couple weeks later Voyager suspends all withdrawals. I believe I have like 9 dollars tied up still with them, because I keep getting weekly updates in their 'plan.'

I do feel for people who lost more than I put in, but at some point you have to expect people to know money isn't free and the gravy train doesn't last forever.

Is there any real alternative for money (dollars) to make it into and out of the system, at large scale?
Because they think they are banks and all banks fractionally reserve. Fractionally reserving is not a law of nature, it's a scam that only works because the fed can print money as needed to bail out banks when there's a bank run. If you can't just print money whenever, it always fails.
