Would you be happier if Intel spent the money to have a second SKU that removed the features in silicon, including imperfect yield, and charged more than they are now to cover that extra cost?

Pricing makes more sense when you pay for value delivered.
Nat is doubling down on hard working builders and smart people. Oh no.

Envy is a hell of a drug. Avoid it like the plague.
Amazon makes it easy to sell especially with FBA. That's as much a good thing as it can be misused. It allows new businesses to get started when they cannot afford to handle shipping to customers themselves.
They're not getting back their money. The contributions they paid were drastically lower than what current generation pays, and the payout is way higher than projected.
can you share the datapoints you are referencing that lead you to this conclusion? My experience over 30 years spent in many startups as well as other domains such as mountaineering where shared suffering cements strong bonds leads me to a different conclusion. Perhaps we just differ on our assessment of EM's motivations.

I consider myself a Linux power user at this point; been running Linux as my primary os since 2007. I enjoy tinkering, but I like my distro to be rock solid; all of my Linux servers run debian stable. In no way would I say that you're "lazy", you just know what you're looking for in a daily driver. Debian is a fantastic choice and I used it as my primary OS for years.

That being said, I do run Arch on my laptop and desktop these days; I like being a little closer to upstream. I don't run a ton of bleeding edge software, but using aur makes it incredibly easy to stay up to date. I am also extremely appreciative of the Arch wiki, no matter what distro I'm using it's one of the first places I check out if I'm having an issue.
I think some people have different feelings about their murdered children than they do about stolen money. YMMV.
This ignores how information spreads. Given how unlikely a randomly generated face will match a relevant person in a local area related to the protest or gov, that means the AI technology will also be widespread (otherwise it’s statically a non-problem because it will be significantly even more unlikely to happen IRL).

If it is widespread then the government workers doing facial recognition should be keenly aware of its existence and adapt by seeking photos from non-activist/protected sources… like the thousands of photos posted on social media after every protest.

The bad government doesn’t want to be arresting random people either they want the real ones.
Not all ads are about click-through. Impressions can be a goal by itself for some who are seeking brand recognition benefits in addition to or even as an alternative to clicks or installs.
You need a Prusa.

I started with an Anet A8 which taught me a lot about 3D printers (and even more about how they fail!). My Prusa Mini just works, and it's rare I need to reprint anything.
You basically end up with the salary of a helpdesk person at a university.
You said you were surprised the NYT had not deplatformed him. I was asking what they had done in the past that made you think they would. I guess nothing?
Certainly not for one offense, or even two. Someone who behaves outside the law consistently needs to be dissuaded though. What suggestions do you have?
Ask HN: Signs that app you are starting will not be successful?
Hello all,
Obviously it’s hard to pick winners when the start-up is just starting, but I assume it’s more easy to see who will not make it.

I was recently asked to join an app with two others that applied to YC recently (they didn’t get accepted, but were told they were the top 10%).

I am nervous to join these two because they are both junior devs and first time founders.
Yes, those two books are Programming Pearls and More Programming Pearls. I have both, and they are good. In one of them there is a section or chapter with a few examples of advanced uses of awk, involving awk's associative arrays, to do some non-trivial work in very few lines of code[1]. He shows or says that the equivalent programs in C would be much longer and harder to write.

[1] Even more so than in most other common examples where awk programs are shorter than those in other languages.
I did not consider it like this before but it is so true. Society is not a given, and it is not a perfect fabric in which evil people tore holes. Instead it is woven by everyone that acts in it.
Nat is aligning himself with those who have money and are pushing for poor working conditions. Nat himself has never built anything.

I think the whole ordeal just reminded me how strong grip the mass media has on the general public. Fearmongering is a strong weapon. Peak of covid was some of the most depressing time to me seeing people tear each other apart.
That’s actually one of the worst parts of this. Amazon’s choice is one of the bad ones.
It just so happened my wife and I were in a CVS (a US pharmacy chain) on the Upper East Side of Manhattan (think pooches inside Gucci bags), and I wanted to get a Deodorant.

We had to call the staff to unlock small pigeon hole after another just to see what was written on the labels.

As always it is not just one thing - the lady that came to help us was in a Hijab and was studying medicine and was helping her parents who immigrated from Turkey and own the operation rights of that store, on thanksgiving eve.

May be I am Old, but I did not mind the locked shelves after meeting her.
Broken windows policing doesn't work when the cops have the city's largest supply of bricks.
This is possibly the most ridiculous argument being used today. Anyone who has looked at their speed and slowed down while driving past a cop can confirm that you’re full of it.
Google to some degree can justify it better considering that Assistant is ALSO present in Android

They need to have some sort of version existing to compete with Siri, and can also shoehorn integrations that wouldn't quite work for Amazon

Were not for this[0] ever expanding page, Assistant seems like the more reliable option

> This is cumbersome, but possible.

This is not possible because the model is smaller than the input weights. Just as any new image it generates is something it made up, any attributions it generated would also be made up.

CLIP can provide “similarity” scores but those are based on an arbitrary definition of “similarity”. Diffusion models don’t make collages.
What law do you think this specifically violates?
That doesn't stop clips from this or future videos that use this technique from being taken out of context.
What explanation? Lithography is only a small part of the whole Foundry process. It is not like Samsung and TSMC are the same either.

Outside of TSMC, Samsung still hasn't perfected their node on EUV. And Intel, is still on the waiting list, skipping right ahead to High-NA EUV. With their N4 and N5 on a very short term.

People often think ASML are like convenience store where they could go and buy one right now. When in fact even if you have the money approved today ( which in itself takes a long time in a large company ) you will still be on the waiting list for 2 years or longer. You will then need another year for them to ship enough machines for you to ship your product.
my timeline feels pretty much identical to how it did when i was using twitter. maybe a bit better. the conversations are significantly better-a massive drop in low-tier/low-effort/annoying comments.

but my experience may be different from others—my circles were already pretty actively looking to get off twitter and the recent changes just put the final nail in.

if you’re interested in infosec, the infosec.exchange community has a massive chunk of former infosec twitter and it’s very very active.
I meant with the company as a whole, not an individual.

By ending your relationship with the company, you're declaring that relationship necessarily deficient in some way. My advice is to define those deficiencies deliberately, rather than in an ad hoc way.
It certainly sounds interesting, especially the lack of server blacklists.

Are you aiming for posts from ChatterNet to be visible to the rest of the fediverse (mastodon et al)? How will that look from the POV of the mastodon server?
Ooooooooohhhhhhh!!

So I steal some consumer goods, put them in individual boxes, send them to Amazon warehouse and they distribute for me.

I simply never put that together.

But surely Amazon is literally handling stolen goods?

Is there a smoking gun email?
One prevalent narrative in NYC is that there’s an epidemic of people being pushed onto the tracks. We need more police in the subway to prevent this from happening.

I was in Singapore recently. Most people there take the subway. Yet no one gets pushed onto the tracks. Why is that?

It has nothing to do with cops — you rarely see them on the subway there. Instead, they have a wall between the platform and the tracks.

So many problems like this have non-carceral solutions. The reactionary reach for police to solve ever problem we see is inhumane. It makes society worse.
That sounds like we're pointing to an external force (the ease of selling stolen goods online), as if it were some sort of magnetic draw, an irresistible temptation.

What's tempting is that there's a lack of punishment. Do you propose we lecture to thieves to dissuade them?

It's like arguing people run red lights because they get distracted due to phone notifications and so maybe we shouldn't punish them with points that could lead to a license suspension.
I didn’t see anything indicating whether or not the actors had licensed their likeness for this use. Wouldn’t that matter?

In India people soak dry beans (and other legumes, such as chana, rajma, etc.) for a few hours or even overnight, even if using a pressure cooker to cook them. And they usually get done in 30 minutes, max.
There are a lot of starry eyed individuals who are ready to “sacrifice” stable welll paid career to “make a difference” by working on fields like biology.

Consider first that every neuron in the brain has unique DNA and ancestorship (comparing brain to some simulation). No, it doesn't mean that, I believe consciousnes can emerge in some other way which doesn't care about computations, neither need quantum entanglement.
> To emulate the dynamical behavior of synapses at the molecular level, the researchers combined fast electron transfer (akin to action potentials and fast depolarization processes in biology) with slow proton coupling limited by diffusion (akin to the role of biological calcium ions or neurotransmitters).

> Since the electron transfer and proton coupling steps inside the material occur at very different time scales, the transformation can emulate the plastic behavior of synapse neuronal junctions, Pavlovian learning, and all logic gates for digital circuits, simply by changing the applied voltage and the duration of voltage pulses during the synthesis, they explained.
The fact that the only solution you see is "punishment" is exactly the problem. No reasonable punishment will stop these crimes. Period. And unreasonable punishments, like locking a human in a cage without rehabilitation for years of their life, only make the problem worse and cost us a ridiculous amount of money (and humanity).

So maybe take a step back, or five, and think about the causes of petty crimes and why they happen here more than other nations.
Medical studies are immediately ended when someone dies in a group. So it is impossible for a study to determine a danger of death because the study will always be halted upon anyone's death. It's rather atrocious, but that's the way research works on willing human subjects.

Warning – Google suspended GCP services for 'verification', lost my business
I operate multiple apps which were providing my entire livelihood, and I wake up one day to realize it's all gone.

Long story short, Google froze my Google Pay account which is used to pay for anything related to Google services, including GCP. This was done as they need to temporarily suspend me to 'verify' me. The GCP team couldn't help me since it was an issue with Google Pay. Not to mention their chat support is useless and doesn't have any power to look into cases.

Now I login to find out my Google Pay account is 'temporarily suspended' since I need to verify my account. I go ahead and add my drivers license and fill out their form, but while they verify details they suspend your ability to pay for any Google services.

So now I can't pay for GCP usage (firebase) and all my authentication, database, cloud functions, are all not usable since the service is suspended. Unlike Amazon who offers phone lines for resolving billing issues, Google does no such thing. I wish I chose AWS.

The end result is that I have apps I spent years of my life building and which currently feed me to only be rendered unusable because some AI at google thought my Google Pay needed additional verification.

My whole life has done a 180 in the past week. I feel like I'm a man with literally nothing to lose and I can't live with myself anymore. This hurts much more than losing a job for me.

Please stay far, far away from Google services of any kind. They are by far the worst of the big tech companies when it comes to developer support.

Yes, colonialism was bad. It should not have happened. We should not let it happen again.

In general, we shouldn't be suppressing people. When a nation needs to use violence to force a region to come/remain within its union, without even a fair vote, that nation is on the bad side of history in my eyes.

And yes, my country has engaged in such misbehavior as recently as 60 years ago. I'm sorry on behalf of my country. Let's never do that again.

Cures for cancer aren't allowed. They would hurt the research and grant-receiving community far too much. The FDA would never approve a cancer cure. So don't worry too much about an... acceptable... cure for cancer emerging.
I’ve been a football fan for nearly 40 years and have never heard the term Bracket related to the game - what does it mean?
IMHO in most cases the "sense of understanding" comes from all the related materials which you read when installing a "difficult" system: it is difficult not because inherent complexity but for lacking abstracting tools (like GUI wizards) which forces the user to learn more in order to understand the "limited" provided interface. I remember my first (Softlanding?) Linux installs (by mid nineties) reading about hard disk geometry, the mandatory kernel recompilation for the network card drivers, the soft links when upgrading shared libraries, the monitor frequencies for X11, and a big etc. which previously (with DOS/Win 3.x) never had to deal with.
The info is in the git object store (.git/objects) similar to how git stores files.

The tool creates `Blob`s that are committed to a `Tree` same as git does for files.

These `Blob`s represent git_bug `Operation`s though, stored as JSON. Those operations combined make up a `Bug`. You could technically create a directory of files from what git_bug stores, as git does for regular repos, but each "file" is more like a row in a database than a file.

1. End-users don’t need to personally verify smart contracts or any other open source software. The key is to have each version have a hash, and on EVM thatms easy — it’s the address of the contract. Then, more and more auditors go through the code and sign off on the contract. In fact, this should be done for lots of open source ecosystems, eg composer or npm, because then we might not have stuff like this: https://blog.sonatype.com/npm-project-used-by-millions-hijac...

or this in log4j: https://theconversation.com/amp/what-is-log4j-a-cybersecurit...

In fact it happens more and more:

http://cyware.com/news/analyzing-the-deadly-rise-in-npm-pack...

2) On EVM you can just audit a smart contract FACTORY, and then people can trust all the instances made from it. This is immensely powerful.

And then there is also regular use by people who put huge amounts of value into a protocol and it is never hacked. It is why for example people trust UniSwap liquidity pools not to rugpull them, and the same with many other protocols.

Now, to be fair, you don’t need a blockchain for that. You can use merkle trees and code signing. But the current Web sucks at it — you just have to trust the server not to suddenly send you bad code, or your “user agent” to execute JS that sends your password in the clear somewhere. And App Stores are black boxes where you just have to trust Signal’s claims or Telegram’s claims. I write about that here in much more detail:

https://community.intercoin.app/t/web3-moxie-signal-telegram...

and I give an extensive talk here as to why we need to reform the current Web:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKPKuH6YCTc

And I wrote an article here on why the current technology leads to extreme centralization and what effect that has on our society:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/how-a-web-that-lost-its-way-c...

There are real societal consequences on the largest scales, from these platform choices of tech stack.

3) Sure, in the real world, things may not match the data on the blockchain. That painting could be stolen despite what the NFT says. The house up for sale may be a fake. And someone could default on a loan that you thought would bring you revenues.

Blockchain doesn’t guarantee any of those things. However, on Aave marketplace, I am guaranteed a return, or my money back in the token I had lent. So my risk is reduced now to black swan events on the token market, so if I’m using mainstream tokens the chances of getting wiped out or losing my collateral are almost totally eliminated.

People who don’t want to use it don’t have to. But if you’re building a very big community with a lot of value at stake, would you rather put votes, roles, and balances into a central database and PHP app code, or a blockchain with smart contracts?

From personal experience I can tell you it should be the latter.

4) In your example it would be the bank that would opt to use blockchain and freely offer other indepdendent entities not under their control to run nodes snd secure it. It reduces the bank’s risk and liability!

And yes thank you for recognizing that there may be a real class of use cases!
Those looking for a proper and comprehensive introduction into genomics from a programmer's perspective should try the Biostar Handbook:

This is extremely misleading and you seem to have confused all the other replies.

StableDiffusion 1.0 used CLIP released by OpenAI. 2.0 uses a CLIP retrained from scratch by Stability.

We don’t know OpenAI’s dataset so don’t know what was in it or how to recreate it. Nothing was “removed”.
Of course they are stealing things for their own consumption. They are merely choosing to steal a particular thing that is easy to steal and easy to convert to cash, which they can then use to purchase the diverse things they need to survive.
FWIW I agree. We are dangerously close to living in a world where you cannot trust any videos, pictures, or audio.

I just think that this approach is perhaps more 'cool' than it is useful, it makes me think of Mr. Swirl[0] who got caught because of a fancy effect. Is face-swapping an actor's face really better than just using the actor outright?

[0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Paul_Neil
Yeah, and then they speed right back up after once out of view. The best you can say is that cops prevent crimes when they make their presence known and have the would-be crime doer in their sight.

So sure, if you post an officer every 50 feet you might actually start deterring crime. But when we’re talking about increasing police density from basically zero to basically zero it’s not gonna do much.

One method of deterring crime is the “fuck you in particular” method of ramping up the punishment crazy disproportionately to the crime but how this really works in practice is the “two americas” problem where if you’re not a group cops are targeting you’re probably not gonna get caught and made an example of. Also despite it working I think this is crazy unethical to the people caught.
So if we attribute the rise in petty property theft to organized crime gangs that still doesn't get to the issue of why. we know why and we've known for thousands of years [1]:

"Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime"
-- Aristotle

No one grows up wanting to steal deoderant from Walgreens. A lot of crime can simply be explained by material conditions. Over the last 40 years in particular, we've seen real income be eroded. Ultimately continued profit growht comes at the expense of labor and labor has enjoyed none of the benefits of decades on increased productivity.

We have a very peculiar "recession" that ultimately seems aimed at breaking labor when, for the first time in decades, people started to see a real increase in wages. That is unacceptable as it reduces profits. The Fed Chair is on the record as wanting to increase the unemployment level.

Why not use what you have?

Energy spent finding and learning a new tool is often at least as great as what brute force will take.

Shopping can be an easier first step than starting the work, but is seldom more productive than starting the work as a first step.

I mean in the two hours since you asked the question, you probably could have implemented a substantial fraction (if not all) of the code required to run your cron jobs on EC2…work setting up EC2 factors out as part of the necessary transition.

Which brings up the idea that paying for Heroku is also a good option…i.e. using financial tooling.

Please don't take this personally, but I generally have no interest in watching random people speak. They know their audience.
