The problem with moderation so far has been the lack of business models that allow new market participants to enter. Big social media companies can engage big IT services companies who will hire thousands of contract workers to do the stuff. But that’s about all there is right now.

A market for content moderation services is a good idea. Players can sell these services both to Big Tech as well as to Fediverse instances and forum moderators etc.

But there is a challenge. The idea of a federated social media model means each instance gets to determine what is acceptable and what is not, and a lot of these decisions involve judgement calls, and neither AI nor context-removed human operators can get it right.

You could s/Designers/Engineers/ and end up with the same statement.

What you seem to be getting at is "hackers with a great aesthetic sense" - and what makes a hacker, then? An engineering background? A computer science degree? Most designers have some understanding of the platforms they're working with. Could they invert a binary tree on a whiteboard? Write an LRU cache? Scale a system to a million DAU? Usually not, but you don't need to do that to build a proof-of-concept application that people fall in love with.

A designer may be a hacker, just as an engineer may be.
I mean, you just create an array of longs and that’s it? That’s pretty much what wasm does as well.

There are more JVM implementations than Wasm ones, I’m sure there are plenty small, embeddable one. But arguably the best would have been a single, performant JVM built into the browser instead of the JS engine, allowing for both scripted usage and this “sandboxed compile target” one.

What happens if they touch? Note that this is while the adapter is unplugged, before sticking the wires into the potato, so shorting them isn't a concern. I can't really imagine that some kind of contamination is a problem since both wires are (probably) copper, nor would I expect any kind of reaction as long as it is unplugged.

> The EU can’t offer much energy, national security, or manufacturing support these days and U.S. is the only other reasonable option.

The UK literally relies on the EU energy market (and vice versa), with lots of imports and exports between the two. There isn't enough of it, but there's already a codependency there. National security is debatable, but as a part of the EU the UK would be leader among equals (big army and nukes), so cooperation would be on an equal footing. Manufacturing of what, specifically?
That’s completely contrary to my experience. Running a small startup we encountered all 3. For us, MS/Azure were the most eager to please but in many ways the worst from an execution standpoint. GCP were very good from an execution standpoint but absolutely zero support and stories like this one scared us off. Lots of big GCP corporate clients actually use them through consultancies which essentially provide the support and are large enough on aggregate to get listened to by Google. AWS were good at actually doing things and also offered support the couple of times we needed it.

I think you might be conflating what are the most profitable social media business models with what people actually want. It's the difference between a lucrative something that addicts or traps, and something people genuinely enjoy or believe in.

I think there is a growing amount of people who want to get out of the social media Skinner box, and there are also growing amounts of people who believe in new and alternative technology like this.

Sure, these platforms might not appeal to someone who uses Facebook like you would a slot machine, but I know plenty of non-tech people who use things like Linux, Firefox, Android/LineageOS/GrapheneOS, etc for moral and ideologically appealing reasons.

What is in it for the maintainers who would then have to support hardware they do not neccessarly have access to, adding development time to the linux kernel maintainers who honestly would be better off spending their time improving linux further instead of supporting potentially thousands of users at best?

Imo the responisibility lies with the hardware vendors. Sell your hardware with working software, and support it for x years guaranteed. When the support period ends they can decide to extend it (they wont, but they could) instead of relying on developers who have nothing to do with the product and are working for free for the hardware vendor.

Either that or contract kernel maintainers to upstream it for x years and they do the heavy lifting, but that's always going to be more expensive than doing it in-house.
Shoplifting is also simply refusing to pay what you owe (the price of the merchandise).

I have three SystemReady arm devices and it's pretty awesome to be able to just boot an aarch64 live ISO and install. The experience is the same for running vms via ESXi arm edition.

It can be tedious building/provisioning the firmware but once complete they are ready for any aarch64 uefi iso.

What is annoying however is when distros don't ship an aarch64 uefi iso - but instead choose to build a zillion device specific "preinstalled" arm images. (looking at you manjaro)

> could see the bases of some of them were on a single point of an inverted pyramid

I was under the impression these towers were AM because such a long wavelength is needed for AM radio stations that the whole tower is the antenna, with an insulator between the point of the inverter pyramid and the ground.

FM towers are not like this; the wavelength is much shorter and the tower is not part of the antenna. The antenna is a short element at the top insulated from the tower.

Happy to be corrected.

It's unfamiliar to the beginner and could take also some "unlearning" of expectations how a program looks like and how to program.

But there are reasons for the syntax: it allows relatively easy language extensions. The mentioned PCASE macro extends the language with a pattern matching construct. Every user can write theses things. Directly in Lisp, without modifying the language itself - because it is already extensible.

The source for PCASE is here: https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/emacs...

Emacs Lisp has some well written extensions. I find the coding style of something like the PCASE extension to be quite readable, for me as a Lisp user. ;-)

But the generative models don't spit out existing code, it generates new code that (sometimes) happens to be the same as existing code. Which is the same as a human being does, just that an AI is much better at seeing a larger amount of existing work. There's no part of the model that has a specific piece of code, it just happens to reproduce the same thing.

People often write code that looks like existing code that they've seen even if they're not aware of it, it's a blurry line. I see it as just banning AI from doing the same thing as humans just because it's better at it.

An argument could be made that it's fair for an AI to not attribute the code it outputs too. The human-human reason for attribution is "I wrote this code by doing X amount of work, since you're using it and it'll save you time, I should fairly be given attribution". But then the AI is also writing out the code that it's prompted for, it's just faster at doing it.

Why not create a tool that instead runs the AI generated output through a check that provides proper attribution? Then you'll also get human written code that doesn't attribute the original author as well.

This is probably in the posted video at some point, but George C. Scott was a serious actor who Kubrick talked into starting a scene with a few silly and ridiculous takes to warm up and that the real takes would be the later ones. In typical Kubrick fashion, he used the silly takes in the final edit.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB110055719231074627

Kubrick is one of the most manipulative directors I have ever read about. He's a genius for sure, but I can't imagine he was much fun to work for as an actor.

Here's fftshift(dht2(img)): https://i.imgur.com/EB6yIb4.png

Here's a hamming window: https://i.imgur.com/NsGKb0X.png

Here's a hamming window raised to power of 20: https://i.imgur.com/ejCviD7.png

Here's the result of multiplying that with the transformed image: https://i.imgur.com/trHdWZS.png

And here's dht(fftshift(that)): https://i.imgur.com/of4bvhv.png

Presto, blurry image. No symmetries required.

We can increase the blur factor by changing the power from 20 to 200: https://i.imgur.com/yqkR3qb.png

And 2000 (megablur): https://i.imgur.com/7h9patv.png

The code I used to blur:

def blur(img, factor):
x = dht2(img)
x = fftshift(x)
x = x * hamming(img) ** factor
x = fftshift(x)
x = dht2(x)
return x

There doesn't seem to be any limitations -- anything you can do with FFT, you can do here. And since the DHT isn't complex, you don't need to deal with phase/amplitude.

It's kind of like working with wavelet coefficients in a jpg transform, except wavelets are a lot harder to work with compared to fft signals (which is why people use fft instead of wavelets everywhere). But dht is the best of both worlds -- all the power of fft, none of the hassle of complex values.
So what you are basically saying is that poor people should suffer more for committing the same crime as someone rich.

This doesn't solve humidity issue unfortunately. Most hot areas around the world are also very humid and that's where air conditioneers with all closed windows/doors will be preferred. Open rooftops also pose a lot of challenges like water and smell leaking, animal invaders start to get in etc.

There was an article on HN recently how ceilling fan improves air conditioner performance and I actually seen a major improvement in my own house - it's awesome! I wonder if some architectural features like the one in the article could be somehow used with air conditioning to produce a similar effect.

>Is there a reason not to use metadata? Doesn't it make the web easier to index, and therefore easier for everyone to use?

Yes, there's a very good reason not to use metadata: it's extra work, and it's not very fun, just like writing docs for software. So people don't want to do it because it isn't "sexy" (and there aren't very good incentives to overcome people's reluctance to do that work).

Because of this, just like any job that people don't really want to do, you have to "bully and cajole" them into doing it.

Air Fryer recipes can apparently be used unmodified in a standard convection oven with an air frying basket, so that seems to be the case.
Well you know, whatever interface you use to input, it's an abstraction over the "hardware". Even classical notation on paper is actually not that great an abstraction over physical instruments - instruments can make plenty of subtle noises that the notation can't hope to capture, and which you have to rely on a performer to intuit.

With programmed music, as you know, you don't get that. What you enter is what you get. You can hope that your DAW gives fantastically good defaults for all the subtle performance features, or even an interface to let you tweak them.

And here's the clue to those interfaces. They are very close to the hardware of the instrument (the SID chip) and the "performer" (the playback routine). When the SID tracker comes with a sound table and a filter table, for instance, that's because it's a very close mapping on how you make sound with this thing. Sure, they can always write "triangle wave" instead of $11, but if you know the instrument, you know that $11 is triangle wave anyway.

You know the difference between a typical composer working in a DAW writing a clarinet part, and a clarinetist working with a DAW writing a clarinet part. It's not that the former can never do a good job, it's just that Floex will in all likelihood do it better. And in the same way, you'd need to understand the chip as well as LMan, Mahoney or LFT do in order to get the best out of the instrument.
> Interest does not mean endorsement.

That does depend on how you introduce him and what questions you ask. It does matter on whether when he says lies about Jews for example in that interview, you let them stand unopposed. If you use positive or euphemisms ridden introduction, then you are endorsing actually. "The next speaker is smart awesome guy who has extensive experience in leading a crypto fund".

> if they could secure an interview with Adolf Hitler himself,

His speeches are no secret. If you invite Hitler, introduce him nicely and he then go about Jewish danger, they you are in fact helping him promote genocide. And that guy would not go for interview where he be in any danger of not dominating tone (he was good at popular politics).

But seriously, why is it that nazi speech is always the most important one? I dont see anyone going "interview with Usama Bin Ladin, lets have Pol Pot speaking, lets have Stalin speaking, we should add communists/anarchists/ISIS into the mix".
Good writing is clearly useful and quite often mentioned. But good reading is very rarely talked about. I think it is even more important.

Too many people cannot maintain attention for more than a few seconds while reading. Or they read "what they want to read" instead of the actual text. Like I write a "list of things" and they read it like "a set of things", loosing the meaningful ordering of a list.

I tend to write concise documentation, but people always loose some important details that way. So I am now purposefully adding more text than strictly required to be sure important points are really understood.
