>Who would have ever imagined that one of the first groups to be unemployed by AI would be artists?

>Jason Allen, a video game designer in Pueblo, Colorado, spent roughly 80 hours working on his entry to the Colorado State Fair’s digital arts competition. Judges awarded him first place, which came with a $300 prize.

I don't know, 80 hours sounds like a lot of human labor for something that's described as a replacement for human labor.
OK, and next what? How do you get HTML+CSS?
Steven Pinker talks about art in one of his books. I believe it’s in “How the Mind Works” he splits art in to two rough categories:

“Museum Art” and “Motel Art”.

Motel Art might be a picture of a flower or a field.

Museum art is things like Picasso and Rembrandt - what can be in a museum changes over time. E.g, if I paint a Picasso that would be passable in a motel, but not a museum. Picasso has been done. Doing it again is not museum art.

That is, motel art is pretty to look at. Museum art is culturally and historically defined.

A less favorable interpretation is that museum art is an intellectual pissing contest, where curators and visitors can measure their dicks by how much they know about the art history that lead up to this work or how much that work challenges status quo.

Making pretty motel art is a solved problem.

Making museum art, the prettiness or the craftsmanship has for a long time been largely been irrelevant. It might help form the story around the piece, but it is the story around the piece that is important.

That story may be ruined by the revelation that a given piece is produced by AI or it may be the center piece of the story that propels a piece into art history.

We have already seen childrens paintings and monkeys paintings win museum curators favor. We’ve also seen toilets and feces been placed in museums and art history.

I don’t see anything here changing.

Absolutely, Elon has the balls to put money on the table and push for audacious goals like the sort of fully reusable, high cadence, rocket technology that was all but abandoned as all but a science fiction dream as the aerospace industry slowly transformed through the 70s slowly into the 80s. Yes there were hold outs trying to make it happen still, keeping the dreams alive, but it clearly wasn’t going anywhere. We had a couple of good attempts in the 90s with the desire to build a shuttle replacement putting some money on the table but it was never going to be feasible for a federally funded program to build a fully reusable rocket, being fully reusable might lead to people loosing jobs and pork barrel politics will “fix” that very quickly!

It took crazy Elon and his wild dreams of Mars colony building to put enough private capital behind building a really reusable rocket. But it’s absolutely Gwynn’s Shotwell who has made his vision possible she’s a damn global treasure and if we ever have a space colony because of Elon’s vision, she deserves a statue on the surface of another planet for making that vision happen!
I find it funny how the internet went straight into the cryptic(to understand for normies) nature of 2fa based on SIM card, when it might had been simpler (and possibly more secure in practice), to just go with key files at first.
Rob pike said they intended to replace c++, that didn't happen to his own accord.
You're kinda missing the point with that statement as you're ignoring the financial aspect of it.

The reality is that most art creators are getting paid by marketing departments to create essentially stock art for various marketing initiatives.

it's likely not particularly enjoyable work, but is probably necessary for living for a lot of unknown artists. If that market is categorically removed from the equation, these artists will have serious issues going forward.

It's like the old argument of workers getting redundant by automation. Sure, some people will find new jobs in other deciplines, but not everyone.

Though to be fair, current models aren't there yet. They might get there eventually, and that's the fear if a lot of people.
On the one hand, I want to encourage you to do a Takeout of your account, but given the circumstances, maybe that will make things worse. Either way, I'm a bit nervous for you!
No. From the typical 2's compliment number encoding used on all modern computers, it is not a simple rotation.

Think about the encoding of minus 1 for an example that differs...
I once took an MP4 of Koyaanisqatsi and reversed the whole video sequence. It was quite a joy to watch the film backwards.

I also experimented with time lapse videography after watching the film. I am surprised by what does and doesn't work as a time lapse.

Sanitizers do help, but they can't catch all bugs. They need to execute a buggy code path to catch issues, and even then they're not perfect.
Art has no absolute value by itself. Curators and buyers give it value. So if curators will decide that some motel art or some AI art has value - we will see it displayed in a museum. Of course there are exceptions but this covers the vast majority of art pieces.
Perfectly safe at the expense of a garbage collector. You can still do pointer soup and int handle based lists as you can do in any other low-level language with the same caveats. Rust is punching up from the manual memory management, zero-cost abstraction plane and competing with the garbage collected langs. It's still at it's core a tool for writing low level code.
Currencies are usually backed by something useful, like goods or resources or labor. USD and oil are linked globally for example.

The problem with these new currencies is that the people proposing them offer nothing of substance other than fear — the fear of missing out.

Unsustainable prosperity fueled by fossil fuels.
Given the discussion under https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33743935 about opening a connection to 1.2.3.4:443 (I'm prompted by the same curiosity about ingress load-balancing, statelessly)...

How does the ingress "router" load-balance incoming connections, which it must (even if the "router" is a default host or cluster)? CF isn't opening TCP, then HTTP just to send redirects to another IP for the same cluster.

I guess hashing, on IP and port, is already readily used in routing decisions, so
eyeball-addr and -port of the inbound packets, 4-tuple (CF-addr [fixed, shared], CF-port [443], eyeball-addr, eyeball-port), provides a consistent.

I guess that this is good for 99.9 percent of connections, which are short-lived, and opportunistically kept open or reused. I suppose other long-lived connections might take place in the context of an application that tracks data above and outside of TCP-alone. I'm grasping for a missing middle, in size of use case, and can't quickly name things that people might proxy but need stable connections. CloudFlare's reverse proxying to web servers would count, if the web-fronting had to traverse someone else's proxy layer.

What are the rough edges here? What's are next challenges here to build around?

the 'fun" aspect of these "ai art" discussions is, that no artist are involved and that they show how little the techies know about art.
replicating a style in a digital image is tiny fraction of what art can be.
it's so boring having to listen to people talk about the future of something they clearly don't understand.
let me give you a couple of points to understand what separates ai and human made images, and why art is something other than replicating and recombining what's already part of our cultural space.
(sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native speaker)

1. the medium & technique:
what technique is being used to put the artwork into this world?
I beg you all, please go to a museum full of paintings (let's not forget that there are sculptures, installations, and so on) and take your time to look at them. you will find out that the digital representation of "the girl with the pearl earrings" is not even half the artwork. it's an oil painting and that has an incredible depth to it. see how the figure is put into the frame - who cares about a hypothetical room she is in - the important part is what is being shown and what is being kept from us. the light and the dark parts..
I could go on... please try to expose yourself to art in person and find out how much more than colour values a painting is! (brush strokes, depth of colour, size, varnish, etc)

2. originality:
why have someone paint in the style of someone else?
people who are not into art often don't understand that a style is always bound to a person and the time they surface. art after 1945 had many ways of reflecting and processing the horrors of the nazi regime, the holocaust, etc
the invention of photography changed the art, but not because craftsman went out of business, but because the subject of the painting changed. before photography abstract art would not have been possible (although artists already changed their styles to less realistic)
hyper realyism on the other hand evolved long after photography was invented....

3. history and provenance of the artwork and the artist:

I'm getting tired typing this all out on my phone :)
I think i have to redo this in a more concise way with my computer or maybe pen and paper...
The cuckoo actually does this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO1WccH2_YM. What I still don't understand is why the paristized birds—here the Reed Warbler—continue to feed the cuckoo chick when it's not in its evolutionary best interest.

Surely Reed Warblers know the chick is not their own so what's going on?

The only logic I can come up with is that there's a symbiotic relationship between cuckoos and birds that it paristizes that's evolved over millions of years which is that the cuckoo acts as a population control agent. In effect it regulates the population of birds in the area of bushland it covers and thus ensures that there is enough food, territory to nest etc. for all birds in the area.

If it's not something like that then the Reed Warbler must be dumb. If neither of those ideas fit then what else could it be?

(Look at it this way, the Reed Warbler pair has committed huge resources in building a nest and brooding three eggs. All that is effectively destroyed by the cuckoo so why would a 'sensible' Reed Warbler continue to feed the cuckoo chick?)

There's something so satisfying about a fully self-contained inertial guidance system that magically knows where it is to a reasonable degree of accuracy over a long period of time without any external input. Is it true AIRS was the peak of this technology (in terms of drift)?

A fun fact about integer division is that on x86 dividing by zero is CPU exception 0. Except, it's not just for dividing by zero, it's whenever a division is impossible to perform.

So, for example what happens if you divide -1 by -INT_MIN? As you probably know, Abs(INT_MIN) is larger than INT_MAX, and so it is not possible to perform -1 / INT_MIN, as well as -1LL / INT64_MIN. It will crash your program, your emulator/sandbox and your server. So, be careful!

Good. Private landlords shouldn't exist.
It absolutely kills me that there are approximately 30 empty homes for every homeless person in the States. (Roughly 550k homeless and roughly 16M vacant homes.)

Investors are part of the problem, but by no means the only part. Anything that reduces investor speculation on housing and returns units to the rental or purchase markets is ok by me.
So, you think that if pawn shops and the like required thieves to fill out a webform and mail stolen property in to be resold, like on Amazon, then the shop owners would be immune from prosecution? That doesn't seem plausible to me.

The reality is that Amazon breaks the letter and spirit of the law. (Depending on jurisdiction) laws against trafficking stolen property do not require that the police catch you red handed in a sting, the law doesn't even require that you actually do know you are selling stolen property - you can be charged if you had a reckless disregard for selling stolen property. The spirit of the law is that selling stolen property makes theft more profitable and that will mean more theft which is bad so let's not sell stolen property. Amazon is obviously providing a way for thieves to profit.

Again, repeated violations of the letter and spirit of the law reported in major newspapers, and no criminal consequences for Amazon. Do you think if your local paper was repeatedly writing stories about how Pawn Shop X was helping thieves profit, that local police and prosecutors would just shrug and point to that webform + mail setup? I don't.

Even if you couldn't get a "slam dunk" case going after corporate leadership for this, you could try. Amazon has actually violated the letter and spirit of the law so it would be fair to bring a case against them. If the jury acquits, then wait until you find evidence of the next theft ring reselling on Amazon and bring new charges.

Even without a conviction I don't think corporate leadership would accept facing a jury trial once a month with the possibility of a conviction and prison time. Instead, Amazon would substantially improve protections on reselling stolen property - which is the desired outcome.
In what world did you see this? At least here in Europe the main conversation about Social Media has been that it shouldn't be operated by big tech companies. We've always viewed Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, and so on. Basically the way Americans are now viewing TikTok. Especially in the wake of Snowden.

It's true that more people are now putting actions behind their words, and leaving Twitter for the Fediverse because of the new leadership at Twitter, but this seem to be only partly because of the right-wing turn and much more because of the instability showing just how insane it is for the world to let a social media platform be moderated by the whims of a billionaire.

I frankly think Trump is right to stay on Truth. Because what happens when Elon eventually loses interest in Twitter and sells it to someone else? That is the strength of the Fediverse to be honest. You get to operate your own servers that are part of the larger whole. This would let journalists, politicians and NGOs run, and more importantly moderate, their own "Twitter" that is still part of the larger whole. Here in Denmark it would allow our government agencies to operate a "Twitter" where all our elected officials could have an account and not have to rely on an American tech company to moderate their feeds, or risk being banned for violating American laws. Yes, the consequence will very likely be that ultra right-wing networks will be largely isolated, but that's still free speech.

Every time I hear this statistic it drives me insane.

I really wish there was an exponential property tax based on the number of properties that someone or some entity owns. I don’t think it would actually be feasible to implement, but I wish something like it existed.

Owning one property? Reasonable/cheap property tax. Own two properties? Pretty expensive property taxes. Own three properties? Eye watering property taxes. Own more than three? Truly insane property taxes.

Especially for vacant properties
"Implies" is the closest approximation to cause and effect in logic and statistics: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Implies.html

Now, cause and effect relationship is directed and may have something to do with the arrow of time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_of_time

So if we capture breaking of class with high speed camera, the laws of physics continue to remain consistent when the video is played in reverse, but we know the arrow of time is one-way and it is impossible practically for shattered pieces to combine backwards. In most of the statistical studies, only the observations are captured but the flow of information through the entire system that resulted in those observations is never tracked. That flow is directly connected to arrow of time and can give us idea about cause and effect which observations alone are insufficient to provide.

So I wonder why the author of the article did not mention entropy and arrow of time while discussing causal and causality all the time (no pun intended).

I tend to be a C with objects (compiled with a C++ compiler) type of person because I think things like the base string, memory blob, etc types in C should have the ability to have bounds checking built in at compile time if the programmer chooses. Simply fixing the few things "wrong" with C I tend to think gets you 95% of the way to a heavier weight environment like java/etc.

So, I can't help but feel that all these languages are trying to solve that last couple percent, and paying a huge price in perf or programmer productivity to do it, at the cost of basically close to 0% bugs actually being reduced. Particularly when compared with C++ and Ada when used in a rigorous development environment.

Nim seems like the kind of thing (a veneer over C) I would want, along with an easy of interfacing to the rest of a C based project, but I always just tend to end up reaching for C with classes, when I need to get something done yesterday, and it needs to fit in a few K, or push the metal to the limit. Largely because I trust I won't get myself in a corner with it.

(PS: I too tried rust and tossed it as not ready, and not really solving the right problem. I don't tend to have memory concurrency bugs in either C or C++ because I don't try to be clever, instead defaulting to simple ownership models wrapped in C++ classes, or fully containing locking/etc in a single function that does all the work of both locking and unlocking the data structure in question and reading/updating it through a single entry/exit).

I went to documentation and found those, nothing to complaint about here. But muscle memory is not something you can switch right away easily in my experience. I'm OK to look at them and possibly learn them when I'll have time for this.
