It feels nice when a protocol has its core devs on the same wavelength as application devs. That's the feeling I get with nostr.

Redox is a project I'm very interested in.

I think it has the capability to be the next "just a small hobby project".
It is indeed wrong.

For example, the Maybe monad has no state. It sequences operations that can fail. The Error monad aborts the computation and returns an error. Similarly, Min, Max, Product, Sum, Dual don't have an state.
Just going to say it, anyone using the mystery colour labels in their comments here, comes off to me (and I suspect others) as combinations of joking, obfuscating and even a little condescending since I’m familiar with the use of this sort of linguistic abstraction as a mechanism for gatekeeping, limiting the size of the audience that can speak to those that have kept up with current shibboleths.

Blue, black, green, grey, white, translucent, gold, purple polka dot… this is a stupid way to name things…

If it’s hydrogen derived from oil by industrial petrochemical processes like steam reforming or catalytic cracking, can we just use these terms… it’s not like we’re trying to explain which pump handles to fill up a car with, we’re talking about issues with a proposed concept and obfuscation of what that concept truly is and what it’s competing against, with cutesy colours labels… frankly just puts me off the entire hydrogen industry …

Hydrogen is pretty easy to get ahold of chemically speaking because it’s everywhere. If we need to differentiate let’s just use the additional nouns necessary. “Hydrogen from Electrolysis powered by Carbon Neutral electricity” and “Hydrogen by thermochemical decomposition of organic waste powered by Carbon Neutral fuels” are ecologically better than “Hydrogen from Electrolysis powered by Coal” and “Hydrogen captured as a waste gas from existing oil refineries, with no other effort to reduce Carbon emissions“

I don’t normally come across a HN thread that reads so “cliquey” outside of the crypto community stuff… seeing this sort of stuff about Hydrogen is just weird.

I am disappointed by the "aggressive communication" examples. They are also all rude! It is more interesting to stretch the imagination and come up with polite aggressive examples.

"Ok, people, lets go to the park and have some fun!"

There. An example of aggressive communication that is also polite. No attempt to respect others, demanding and pushy. but also well intentioned and looking to achieve a good outcome.
Yeah, as if he didn’t know what was in the rest of the ad, which defined the meaning of what he said. To be so literal is senseless
It would be nice if they included the actual letter in the article. After all, the copyright on it would have long expired, right?
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s very nostalgic.
"In addition to the exciting technical changes, there is also organizational news to share. Redox OS received a donation of $400,000 (USD). This donation was anonymous, and the way in which it was made anonymous has made it not possible to use at this time. Presently, I am working with a legal team on determining specifically how the OFAC sanctions on Tornado Cash apply to this donation, which was made through Tornado Cash. At present, as I am a US citizen, I have blocked the transfer of this donation in order to comply with potential OFAC sanctions."

Is it me or the author is overly cautious?
There are countries that are a lot poorer that have higher trust than many wealthy countries though.

I honestly think it comes down to education and distillation of values. Can America honestly say that it teaches its children to be considerate of others, respect public places, and other such things? Certain groups of people adopt these attitudes by cultural osmosis but it isn't institutionalised nor supported as an ideal by the larger community. In Japan it is. Even homeless people in Japan keep their spaces tidy etc it is crazy to see.

Edit: and I'm not trying to target the US here, I don't think these values are explicitly taught in most western countries. Think of things like school kids are expected to clean the school up before they can go home. That teaches people to behave a certain way from a very young age in regards to communal spaces.

This seems very misinformed and I would like to see a source on it. In many European countries it's fairly easy to fire people. I can use Denmark as an example as this is where I'm from, here you can fire anyone if their position is no longer needed within the company. It's true that you cannot just fire someone and then hire another person to fill the same position without legal repercussion. This is to prevent things like firing people who get pregnant, but if your company is removing the position entirely, like when you're downsizing, you can fire people.

There are ways to fire people you really don't want in your company, however, it's just a matter of how expensive it will be. The typical Danish outcome of wrongful firing is 1-2 years worth of pay, which is (as I understand it) much lower than the outcome of similar American law-suits. In Europe, this is mostly handled by due diligence, where companies enter agreements with an unwanted worker, giving them 1-2 years of pay to fire them legally. But typically this doesn't happen, because why would you want to fire someone with no valid reason?

Firing someone for not responding to a single e-mail is insane.

One of the advantages to running a company in Europe compared to America is that many European countries are designed to make it relatively "easy" to fire people. This is because we have really good social security networks. In Denmark we have something called a "dagpenge" system, which is a type of unemployment system where you pay some tax-deductible money to be part of an "a-kasse" that will then pay you a healthy sum for two years after you lose a job. The sum isn't quite "programmer level salary" in Denmark, but many companies tend to deal with this by offering 80-100% insurances for those two years through either unions, pension-fonds or private security. In the public sector the unions tend to do the same thing.

I think you may be confusing our overall workers rights with company to employee relationships. Because it's true that countries like France sees some massive worker strikes once in a while, but these have more to do with the government vs workers than anything and typically have to do with how long a work week, how early you can go on pension, how long the social security period should be.
Read my other comment, this is mostly about the true relationship since they are not simply being paid for an appearance. Given everything that transpired, was Brady's interests aligned with customers? Tough to say yes.
Floyd Mayweather, DJ Khaled, and Kim Kardashian were fined for promoting cryptocurrencies without disclosing their full financial relationship with the cryptocurrencies.

Elon Says He’ll Make His Own Phone If Apple and Google Deplatform Twitter
So the claim is not only that Russia killed their own citizens, but that ostensibly they weren't even involved in sabotage?

I could see this going a number of different ways. This group could've been enthusiastic fans of the STALKER series, as well as airsoft/milsim players, as my friends and I were growing up. They could've been mistaken by the state as saboteurs. They could've also _been_ saboteurs without understanding the reality of the danger and unlikelihood of success. They could've also _understood_ the danger, and chosen to take the risk, given their principles and understanding of the war going on.

The "thread" is lacking information, but given the average age of airsoft enthusiasts, I find it unlikely they fully comprehended the potential consequences, assuming they were saboteurs at all. This is sad.
Congrats on launching!

I'm happy to see that your guys are using our framework with Mantine UI for the back office.

I suggest you add a mock login page using AuthProvider.. It makes the app look cooler.

It's wise to be cautious when it comes to anonymously donated money.
Found this site recently.

Felt compelled to comment on this.

Don't worry, i'm opinionated and give equal opportunity commenting to most everything.

This deceptive faux environmentalism just rubs me the wrong way. People are more persuaded by emotions (dead whales) than by the data and facts (nuke asia if you want to stop the majority of ocean garbage).
Sure, so compare them with Google if you want (because I guess google's electricity bill for data centers is huge). Now, why would you want to forbid what bitcoin miners do with the energy they purchase while you don't forbid what Google does with the energy they purchase?

If they can only exist when subsidized, we need to decide explicitly whether the business is worth subsidizing. Not keep lots of businesses alive through subsidized electricity while they would otherwise not be profitable.
Well yes it would have, but Congress keeps extending it.
I'm curious how many people have actually tried these networks out. I've dropped a bunch of demos below so you can actually try them and I encourage everyone to do so before they form strong opinions here.

As someone that works in generative modeling I think it is important to note that we are hand selecting results and not showing the average ones. There's been such a hype machine that if we show our average results that we'll get killed in review (publishing in a hyped space unfortunately requires a lot of salesmanship). Not a thing I'm particularly happy about, but I think this is important to note because if you're just looking at the images on Twitter, Blogs, and other social media then you're seeing the top 1% results. Images that take quite a bit of time and effort to produce. Likely not as long as an actual artist to make them, but still a lot of skill is involved.

I do agree that I think it'll be a big boon for artists. I've even been using these to get better at drawing. The results are bad even with prompt engineering, but hey, my human mind can fill in the gaps and it is good for expanding creativity. We'll get better at these models for sure but I'm not quite convinced it'll kill a lot of art jobs. But maybe I don't know what those jobs are that are being killed. But then again, I've even seen artists do much better at these models than me even though I understand the code and math going on. There's also cool things like walking through the latent spaces, but you won't be able to do that with the hugging face code. But that is art that you won't be able to do elsewhere. It is entirely new.

That’s a very narrow definition of endorsement and that would not fly in any ad firm. To be paired with the commodity is all that’s needed, which is why they say all publicly is good publicity
Even for poor citizens, electricity shouldn't be subsidized. They should get straight up money and decide for themselves if they want to use it for (non-subsidized) electricity or if they can use it more efficiently on something else.
Quite interesting that New York ranks second smallest and a whopping $420/sqft. The data are quite skewed by the NYC area. We sold our typical Western New York home (~1,700 sqft) in 2016 for about $42/sqft.

I've had and goretex gear in the military and for hillwalking. I've always found the footwear to be too hot and causes my feet to sweat so much I get borderline trench foot. Waterproof wise it's only slightly better than non-goretex.

My personal opinion is the price isn't worth it. For wet weather I'll stick with wellies, good socks and a poncho.
As long as workers aren’t colluding this argument doesn’t work.

Colluding to raise rent and colluding to lower salaries are the same action taken by different people.

Employees enjoying high salaries means nothing as long as they’re not banding together to distort the market outside of a union or workers guild.

LD can have an amazing ad next Super Bowl promoting another product saying he was technically correct in his crypto ad.
The question now is what value can (human) artists bring besides merely producing images of a certain subject in a certain style. Software has clearly just solved that problem, although the buildup was the last 10-20 years (cnns, gans, style transfer, and now generative language-based models).

But when I think of the value and interestingness of art, there's a lot of intention and meaning in choosing what to draw, the form, etc.

For example, look at The Death of Socrates and then compare it with the three other paintings of the same scene here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Socrates.

Even from a first glance, the one by David is clearly superior. The scene is so much more striking and interesting to look at. You can see the emotions of the characters, and overall the composition underscores the significance of the philosopher's death, especially in the context of the enlightenment/romantic period. (This is my opinion as a pleb; not an art expert.) But what I do understand, as a computer person, is that these concepts are still beyond what a model can encode in an image as of today.

So although humans are no longer superior in the mechanics of producing images, I think in the higher-level/psychological aspects of "art", there's room for humans, at least for now.
Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem.

The issue is not which labels keys have printed on them. I don't look at my keyboards and I always remap keys for them to be in the positions I like. That's fine and works in MacOS.

The issue is that the same application (Chrome, for example, but happens with most of them) uses the same key combinations in Windows, Linux, Chrome OS and Android (I use DeX from time to time on my S7 Tab) to do something but then decides to do something different in MacOS _without giving the user the possibility to fix it_.

Chrome example: C-w closes a tab and C-TAB changes tab in the first four OSs. In MacOS, though, it's S-w and C-TAB, respectively. There is no remapping which can fix this because the correspondence between keymappings on a given modifier key is not a bijection. The only possibility would be that each program gave the user the option to "use standard keymappings". But very few do, AFAIK. Emacs is the only one that works the same on all systems. But I also need a browser ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I'm not saying that MacOS convention is worse or better than the standard. In fact, I personally like the idea of having the CTRL-like functionality on my thumbs, rather than my pinkies, and I could migrate to this layout on all computers I use (via key remaping, in the same way that I already have remapped on all computers I use the ESC key on the place that normally CAPS is). I'm just saying that using MacOS makes me slower, both when using MacOS itself _and_ when using the other OSs, since suddenly I have to conciously decide which key combo to use. Normally this was something that just happened subconciously and didn't interrupt my flow.
Benjamin Franklin said it best imho: "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

A lot of the modern emphasis on explaining away people's behaviour as an inevitable outcome of their poverty/race/culture/history (depending on who you ask) is a leading cause of a lot of the problems we see imho.

One of the core beliefs our society is based on is that God gave us free will so we can make choices. While some degree of corrective was maybe necessary as current and historical wrongs do impact us today, it has gone too far imo. Someone at some point of time has to break a cycle by making a choice to be a better person.
My position is that celebs have no business hawking anything as risky as crypto. You're right, they're entertainers. They are not competent to have any public opinion on what someone else should do about crypto.

This isn't like "washing hands is a good hygiene practice". Crypto is controversial, I can't throw a rock without hitting ten finance processionals that have ten contradictory opinions. Someone who doesn't know what they're talking about should stay in their lane and not spout crap they don't understand about stuff that has a major impact on people's finances. And if they do, then they own the consequences.

I don't know if it's legal, but let's say it is: are we ok with celebs endorsing gambling? I sure as hell am not, I don't care what the auditors say about the solvency of the platform.

Yeah, but you already have a police/justice system, right? From the perspective of a politician, the decision (a) is more about "prioritize the police/justice system to do its work on these cases". The justice will have to drop something else they are doing to work on this, and that something else might be beneficial in preventing the future crime in the same way you're arguing. (If you mean make sure systemic changes are made to the prioritization, that's another variant of the (b) option.)

But to be honest, I am not sure retributive punishment really prevents crime all that well. U.S. has a lot of laws against fraud, and has a pretty good track record in investigating and punishing as far as different governments do, and fraudsters still appear. I think in most cases, people aren't rational about committing a crime, they often self-delude themselves somehow that whatever they are doing is morally acceptable. I think there was an interview with the FTX CEO, who answered the interviewer's question with incredulous "the way you describe what we do, it indeed looks like a fraud". So I think some people have the ability NOT to see their pyramid scheme as a pyramid scheme.

On the other hand, people who will rationally consider whether to do a crime or not, should not necessarily think that because someone got away with a crime, they will get away with it too. You might as well think that the police/justice will be better prepared to a similar crime now.
There's a million Stary Night variants and even Warhol's Soup. Shepard Fairey ripped from They Live. A good artist copies but a great artist steals.

I'm going to need to see a source on ripping the same color palette as being illegal.
AI generated art or not, I'd visit an art gallery with cool pictures.
That's the exact concern.

There is a way we can pit some corporations against the others to help with this though: Train models exclusively on content by megacorps like Disney, then claim it's fair use.

Those guys lobbied to get copyright extended for ages for own profit; for once they could help protect the ordinary artist.
People want to live where industry is? Woah there. If you call that a problem then there will never be a solution for the rest of forever.

Any sane housing policy has to take this into account not pretend it’s the laborer’s fault. If you want people to move to different places then you have to get some businesses to start or move there until you get natural momentum.
It'd be great if it were possible to buy a house and not have it be an "investment"
Sorry I broke it between updates. Should be working now!!
It's kinda worse than that. If it's accurate, one of the few ways employees can perform meaningful work that revolutionizes an industry is by manipulating upper management into supporting that work.

More whites are shot by police each year than every other ethnicity combined. Sure as a percentage it isn't equal but it isn't close to as unequal as you seem to be implying here.

Blacks are 3x as likely to be shot as a white but when factoring in the documented higher crime rate of blacks as a percentage of the population this isn't as clearcut an issue as the media makes it seem.
That's roughly my first thought too: the project seemed like pubsub with message authentication and without federation. Was about to bring up "Atom and RSS, mailing lists, NNTP, XMPP, ActivityPub, Matrix" as examples of existing protocols capable of that (to a different extent, and usually with more functionality), thought to add Mastodon to the list of examples too, but the README already mentions that Mastodon is undesirable because of the dependence on domain names/administrators (and elsewhere mentions undesirability of running servers by users, of having many servers, while considers simplicity from the point of view of in-browser JS, apparently), that the servers aren't run well, and so on; seems pretty opinionated and enthusiastic about this protocol, so I guess those existing protocols won't satisfy all those requirements either.

Initially restrained from posting it, since it's possibly rather grumpy, and the authors seem to have fun with the protocol, but here it is.
