This would make a very good film for cinema/TV.
It’s got many things from the checklist: technology, legal battles, pre-war era style, authenticity, personal struggle and so many that would make for a good scenario and paired with a couple of good actors, for sure it would be great.
Is there any place where we can learn more about all these AI tools that keep popping up, that is not marketing speak? Also, I see the words 'open' and 'open source' and yet they all require me to sign up to some service, join some beta program, buy credits etc. Are they open source?

Yes-ish. Not FTX, but Celsius (very similar situation on a smaller scale).

I was aware of Mt. Gox, and I do see the irony.

I invested 25% of my crypto portfolio with Celsius. The rest was, and is, in an offline wallet (though after Celsius I felt burned by the crypto space so I sold all but one Bitcoin - basically I’ve broken even on my crypto investments in total, and have a single BTC left over).

Crypto investing amounted to never more than 3% of my investing portfolio entirely.

Basically - I view crypto with a lot of doubt, but still wanted my hand in it. In total, I have lost .75% of my portfolio from this fiasco - I’m willing to say that it was a greedy play on my part knowing it was unsustainable, and it was effectively gambling. I’m very happy I kept the amount I gambled low, but it still sucks, and I still feel like an idiot.

I do hope the lawsuit brings something back, but I’m not holding my breath.

Not my problem.
What something is used to mean differs from whether it makes sense objectively. Ming existed independently of observer obviously, and sciences are objective by definition.

Objectively one also considers if people move, and flow of money. I can’t tell what is there that make a region a key factor in determining light or dark ages of physical sciences.

It’s not totally clear what you are asking. The models are trained on something like an NVIDIA A100 which is a super high end machine learning processor, but inference can be run on a home GPU. So this is a “different configuration”.

But I think maybe you mean, can they make a model which normally needs a lot of RAM run more slowly on a machine that only has a little RAM?

It sounds like there are some tricks to allow the use of smaller amounts of ram by making specific algorithmic tweaks, so if a model normally needs 12GB of VRAM then, depending on the model, it may be possible to modify the algorithm to use 1/2 the RAM for example. But I don’t think it’s the same as other rendering tasks where you can use arbitrarily less compute and just run it longer.

Maybe I’m wrong though.

If I recompress 240TB as super low quality jpgs and manage to zip them up as single file that is significantly smaller than 240TB (because you can), does the fact they are not pixel perfect matches for the original images mean you’re not violating copyright?

If you compress them down to two or three bytes each, which is what the process effectively does, then yes, I would argue that we stand to lose a LOT as a technological society by enforcing existing copyright laws on IP that has undergone such an extreme transformation.
> Go called a low level high performance language

Ah yeah, was generalising somewhat. You're right, it's perhaps a "mid" level language. Maybe even high level in areas it is intended for, such as channel tooling, etc. Regardless, it's much more verbose than true high-level languages such as Ruby and I would not consider it a good choice for a startup unless they were specifically writing actual infrastructure code.

Regardless - it's certainly implicated in the cargo cult of "dozens of golang microservices all talking to each other in a combinatory explosion of GRPC" antipattern i've seen startups succumb to before. One of them ran out of runway with less than 10 actual customers, after spending 18 months building an MVP that would "scale".

Maybe I can propose a new law: "If you have more microservices than you have customers, you are scaling prematurely".
It's not even knowledge or resources, but organisational scale and capacity. The ability to coordinate the labours of many people for long periods of time with enough stability to do things at large scale, gaining efficiency. If that stutters, neither the knowledge or resources may suffice.

Ask HN: Linux kernel internals and development book?
HN,

Many years ago, I used "Linux Device Drivers, 3rd edition" to learn about the Linux kernel. However, it seems they haven't published newer versions since then (centered around 2.4 kernel). It was the most "authoritative" book I could find at the time.

Is there a similar book or resource that contains updates information about 5.x or even 6.x kernels? Quite a lot has changed in the past decade or so! I know there are random books, I just can't figure out the most comprehensive and authoritative book. I would prefer content more focused on describing types and systems than strictly focusing on how to write C code.
No, it doesn't auto-reboot. You get prompted for updates and you can keep delaying them forever if that's what you wish.
> I can make up a completely new board game right now and I'll be the world champion at it immediately.

That sounds intuitively true, but it's not.

I thought the same thing, until I met an actual board game genius who beat me at every single game we played that I invented and practiced before playing against him.

That's why he makes a pretty good living creating and selling board games and I don't.

People with talents do exist, unless board games is your thing, it won't work.

I tried this on one of my home images. I have a nice canon pro 100 printer that can print 13”x19” pictures, and my camera is a 20 megapixel Panasonic GH-5. The printer can print much higher resolution than my camera. So I did take one of my photos and process it with Real-ESRGAN to double the resolution (in each direction, so 4x pixels). The photo is a red barn with redwood trees behind it. It did well increasing the resolution of the barn. It made it look more crisp and bright. But there is an area with some trees in shadow behind the barn, and it lost detail there.

Anyway I think it would be fun to play with, just depends on the content of the image and the artists preferences. I still haven’t printed a full page of the upscaled photo but I do want to try that and see how it looks in comparison!

One thing I've noticed is the older you get, the less extraordinary you can be despite what you have accomplished because there is less time for you to more stuff, you have less potential , at least in society's eyes.

I think this analogy doesn't hold water - horses aren't exactly a beacon of reliability (having owned one).

I've already seen tools that support workflows where you compose art by iteratively generating a piece of it, performing some correction, and repeating. So, I think there's room in the art world for less than perfectly generated art. That said, let's not kid ourselves that the typical failure modality of ML today (99% correct enough, 1% disastrously incorrect) doesn't either cause it to be entirely useless in many applications or end up wreaking havoc on end users in others.
I mostly just think it's funny that through a series of automated flukes, this is Google's top search result for "Chicago cults".

I've been banned from adsense recently, affecting 4 websites that have been live for ~10 years because presumably someone incorrectly thinks I'm incentivising hacking when none of the websites are even tangentially related to this.

And with the near monopoly on ads google has, I'm either out of pocket on server costs from now on, or have to go to a lower quality network that may distribute malware and get further impacted by Google SEO. My answer so far has been to try to not think about it, because there's no recourse unless you have friends at Google, which I don't.
