I see this happen with subscription-based services as well.

For example, some print magazines (yes, they still exist) have gone from having "special double issues" to regular double-issues, essentially going from weekly to bi-weekly without saying so. (for example, TIME or The Week)

Or the Netflix disc-by-mail service (dvd.com) (yes, it still exists, but may be headed for oblivion soon). They haven't raised the price in many years but instead are cutting back on frequency. First, a few years ago, they silently ended the practice of mailing out new discs on Saturday, even though the post office (USPS) still operates on Saturday, they hoped no one would notice but I did (and called them up about it). Now, instead of shipping from the nearest facility in San Jose, I often receive discs from much farther locations, including Texas and New Jersey, so the delivery frequency is far lower due to extra days in the mail.

And the USPS itself is slowly cutting service, such as removing local mailboxes and most likely ending Saturday delivery sometime in the next few years.
No. Bank oversight comission required banks to offer fixed rate mortages only after swiss franc mortage crisis (2009), and not shorter than 5 years. What happened was banks introduced fixed mortages for 5 years, after which time you move to variable mortage, or update rates for next 5 years.

Banks also made those mortages noticably pricer, so few people picked them (me included).
Perhaps? It completely changes the original meaning.
I find this kind of writing so unbelievably annoying, it's unreadable.

People who write as though not only can they predict the future, but they're so arrogantly certain of it that they write long, scary sounding articles about it.

Guess what? This random guy has no idea what will happen in less than 5 years, no one has any idea. I'd bet AI won't, in fact, dominate the animation industry. Am I certain of it? No, because at least I have some humility.

Anyone who thinks they can predict the future is full of shit.
Well no, depending on where you live 'hate' is not protected for one. And for two, it should be obvious that there is no such even handed methods of protection going on, considering how quickly Twitter is banning even mildly left-leaning voices under false pretenses elevated by liars and charlatans.

There is no 'free speech' being protected. It's speech for me and not for thee. Which is hypocritical coming from Musk.
Great callout, I haven't had my coffee yet. Here is a version that better shows what I intended

pub struct Secret<T>(T);

impl<T> Secret<T> {
pub fn map<U>(&self, func: impl FnOnce(&T) -> U) -> Secret<U> {
Secret(func(&self.0))
}
}

impl<T: AsRef<[u8]>> PartialEq<&[u8]> for Secret<T> {
fn eq(&self, other: &&[u8]) -> bool {
constant_time_eq(self.0.as_ref(), other)
}
}

/* Some other file */

use secret::Secret;

// Translated from the example
fn check_mac<T: AsRef<[u8]>>(mac_secret: Secret<T>, message: &[u8], mac: &[u8]) -> bool {
// This returns a new Secret<[u8; 32]>
let computed_mac = mac_secret.map(|secret| hmac_sha_256(secret.as_ref(), message));

// This uses the `constant_time_eq` impl from above
computed_mac == mac
}

I think the interesting part of the example is what you _can't_ do in the other file. It's pretty hard to misuse because the return type of `Secret::map` is a new `Secret`, the only way to do `==` on a `Secret<T>` uses a constant time compare.

I guess my main point is that when you have a instead of having to add new things at the language _level_, if I have something as powerful as the rust type system I can implement the same functionality in not much of code.
The lockdowns in China are entirely different from what took place in the US. People in the US were just asked to stay home if at all possible. Some businesses and schools were forced to close. Grocery stores stayed open; public transit kept running; people moved freely in and out of cities.
Does AI completely dominate the translation industry? I suspect not, though it made translation more accessible and widely used.
A few people at my IT company don’t work Fridays, but at least from the cases I know it seems to be Product people.
If you look up the definition for "Bi Polar" it literally looks to me like it includes absolutely everyone I know, including some highly functional and responsibly motivated people. We go through peaks and valleys in life, If all modern psychiatry does is seek to drive profit and to generalize conditions across very different people to gaslight and create paranoia for profit, its a highly problematic threat towards our future.

This is primarily why people getting a psychology bachelor's degree are explicitly instructed not to diagnose. Much like a radiologist needs to practice reading scans before they can distinguish between healthy and normal, it takes time and effort to realize how bipolar disorder differs from normal people's presentation.
The point of the vague definitions is to allow for the complexity of people; there's a way in which clinically bipolar people are different from the norm. The condition exists even if we can't figure out how to word the diagnosis yet.
Like it or not, he's a huge part of the public discussion right now.

He used outsized power to take control of a public square, and has let previously disruptive individuals back into that public square. (And Twitter is a public square. Governments, celebrities, charities and more all use it to communicate with people, and news organizations report on the goings-on there.)

I disagree with assigning a Narcissistic collapse to Musk though, I don't think he fits the criteria laid out in the article. Kanye West may fit, but his other untreated mental illness makes that difficult to separate from the narcissism that drives some of his actions. trump, of course, fits NPD, but again I don't think he's collapsing right now. putin as well doesn't seem to be collapsing despite what's happening to the russian military in Ukraine.

While I wish I didn't have to hear anything else about Musk, he's an incredibly powerful person who can effect massive change in our society. Whether that's right or wrong depends on your personal views, but I personally believe that no one person should have that power unless it has been temporarily granted to them by a government in a time of great need.
Genuine answer, given cryptically so as to keep the implications implicit: if you think you might benefit from something like a self-induced narcissistic collapse, you might be interested in “ego death”.
Compiler checking is always better than programmer checking.

The only thing I can think of is violent revolution but with the way things are going, the wealthy elite will have a monopoly on violence too.
There are certain job occupations that only work when done at scale.

The ones I can point most directly to are service, retail, and healthcare. These need population densities in order to be efficient.

Unless you are looking at the classic old general store (or in the midwest - you do all your grocery shopping at Kwik Trip - the gas station), it is difficult to have a grocery store outside a city or town of sufficient size. Note that the prices and variety in the smaller stores are more than if you are able to go to a large store in a city.

Likewise, if you want to eat at a restaurant - sure, there are some that are in the "this is a restaurant located a 10 minute drive away from where you can see the window of your neighbor from your window". The norm for this, however, is in a town or city.

And then there's healthcare. Rural hospitals are failing. You don't find dentists on country roads.

These things (and more) 'conspire' to make it so that the services they offer are more efficiently done in a city and the ones in a city can out compete the ones that are located further away from others.

We can then bring up the carbon footprint of living outside a city. If you drive into a city to get goods ( https://ctl.mit.edu/sites/default/files/library/public/Dimit... ) that can be a hefty footprint that is exacerbated by not being able to use public transportation. Another look at it - https://www.treehugger.com/urban-or-rural-which-is-more-ener... :

> But a different picture emerges when you look at per capita consumption rates — cities have the lowest annual energy use per household (85.3 million Btu) and household member (33.7 million Btu) of all four categories. Rural areas consume about 95 million Btu per household each year, followed by towns (102 million) and suburbs (109 million).

And this then leads to that the jobs for the sectors of the economy where you need to physically be present somewhere (and that is a significant portion of them) are more efficient in a city. Coupled with the more efficent use of land and power with the city, this brings down the costs and maximizes the amount that a person makes... if they live in a city (all other things being equal).
It's a bit more obvious in some. E.g. kanye.
Woah there. That’s not the reality I’ve witnessed. Most of the people at FAANG companies don’t come from old money. The reason a 20% paycut isn’t ruinous is because these companies pay top(ish) of market rates, so a 20% cut just takes you from the top-end and moves you towards the middle. It has nothing to do with “old money.”
Nope. All photographic film and paper processing result in silver ending up in the fixer. B&W films have a much greater concentration of silver than color films do but labs tended to develop so much film and paper that it added up.

Most coops tend to be registered as nonprofits in my part of the world for tax reasons, and others have an elected board which distributes earnings though a share structure to members.

You have failed to provide data to explain the context of your input. Thus, still remain off-topic, and orthogonal to the line of observations corroborated with other members experiences.

As initially inferred, unaccountable individuals that normally get away with cowing people tend to destroy shared environments which should be otherwise sustainable in theory.

I agree without relevant data your perspective may be beyond comprehension.

Depend on size and material of the o-ring. A o-ring is a flexible material that under pressure will bend in order to fit a space. Under high pressure the material might intrude out slowly, if you repeatably bend it it might snap, and as with many flexible materials it may go brittle and crack if exposed to changes in temperature or moisture.

>A lot of fantastical claims made in this article with little citation.

Not everything comes with a citation. Things first happen, then get studied, even if all the signs are there.

(Also, 'little citation' my ass. The post has links to video animation AI models, studios that already do this thing, papers and relevant technologies, etc. And it's just a post, not an exhausting monography on the subject)

>I have friends who work in animation and illustration professionally. Based off their predictions, the truth is likely far more mundane.

"It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it" as the saying goes.

The change will not be driven by animators, but by people hiring animators that decide to cut costs by not hiring them.

Subpar results wont be a problem, if they're still good enough. There will be people helping and people touching up the end results, but half or less of what there are now...

I.e.: " These AI models will likely just become tools that automate or simplify existing animation workflows for larger projects. This would definitely result in less labor needed for any given project."

Yes, but much more dramatically so, to the point that there will big loss of jobs in the industry.
I'm very suspicious of this. I signed up over a month ago to check it out before the takeover. I quickly tried to delete my account, but that request has been ignored now for over a month.

I would not be surprised if that is the least shady way Musk has gotten "signups at all-time high".

I think there will be rapid advances and some of them are already happening in unrelated space, but it will be quite far from completely replacing the human in the loop.

especially challenging will be (as it is for self driving) context permanence.

that said, with 3d modelling, rendering etc eating up so much of modern animation costs as it is, it is quite likely that tech as ai art tailored upscalers will merge with technique as dlss to enhance permanence and will help make the cost crash back down to earth, and that will have a big impact as currently only "safer" films get greenlighted due the difficulties from recovering costs.

TIL about systemctl edit, thanks. Note to others: if you want to override an existing setting, rather than just add new settings, you'll need to use 'systemctl edit --full'.
At first, I thought this was based on a syscall compatibility layer like Solaris' Linux Zones or WSL1 (RIP), or the Linux support in FreeBSD and NetBSD.

If you've ever tried to spin up a whole bunch of Docker containers in WSL2 and watched `vmmem` memory and CPU usage explode, you know that 'near-native speed' in VMs comes with lots of asterisks.

Does macOS have usable native macOS containers yet?
Congrats Burak on making it to the main page!
If you’ve seen real narcissistic abuse, other than the screaming dehumanizing rage filled sessions, (and this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective) the person on a receiving end has a realllllly hard time cogently describing what they suffered without drawing some suspicion to themselves. And when threatened the narcissist will (this is a stupid term but in the literature) have both flying monkeys, and unleash an attack on your character. Recording everything written is probably not sufficient imho.

Wow, what an odd thing to get so worked up about.
There seems to be an increasing trend of self-diagnosis or amateur diagnosis of others. There was recently an article about a trend on TikTok where people present their "alter egos" claiming to have multiple personality disorder, which is not only incredibly rare but may not even be real (at least in the way people presented it, usually exactly as its portrayed in popular fiction).

You also see it with countless of people claiming to have ADHD, bipolar disorder or other actual diagnosable diseases which are not common in the general population.
Article sure casts a wide net. Like it says collapse can manifest as 'trying to win the other person back if their partner broke up with them'. It says 'people with NPD are so insecure, they often feel empty and hollow – they need admiration from others to feel validated.' Could be NPD and collapse are super prevalent or maybe I need to face some truths about myself and my circles

You do as much of that offline as possible. The "split them into micropolygons" happens at editor time, along with a search tree that makes it really easy to find them.

I'm playing with Silverblue on Gnome 43 but I don't see it under Privacy settings yet. Maybe due to running it in a VM.
Yeah, but in the computer example you are doing the equivalent of then lowering that weight again (possibly getting 1% of that gravitational energy back) : we're assuming that the energetic potential of the bits across the computer stays on average the same across enough time.

Life taught me something. If one reaches old age believing that complex issues stem from (and can be resolved by focusing on) single/simple causes, one has not learned well.

I suspect we're fooled into believing some simple act is a solution when pressures and harms get shifted out of our sight.

And as far as I understand the policies, you don't need to be minority-owned. You need to have some diversity quota filled and/or promise to get it filled. Like a pledge to do something.

> Yes that quote is political speech/belief. But it's the expression of the legislature on policy, that is democratically determined, whether you agree with it or not.

The same applies to this case, where the democratically elected legislature says you don't get contracts if you say "don't buy from Jews" and passes laws to that effect.
I’ve never received RSUs in a public company but can’t you basically set the strike price at whatever value you want? It’s just a financial instrument after all. NOTE, I’m not arguing for backdating.
> How do we know who's an expert here?

That's a fair question.

Let me give you a rule of thumb. I must emphasize you can't take it _too_ seriously. But it seems to hold quite well that in hard sciences, not just physics, looking from the inside, you notice that the ones who talk to the media are normally the bottom of the barrel. This makes a lot of sense. If your goal is to learn about the fundamental building blocks of the universe, writing blog posts the societal aspects of science doesn't help you with that. Real scientists spend their time doing science. There's very few exceptions to this. In fact right now I can think of a single person who's a world class researcher _and_ a prolific blogger; Terrence Tao, but he's a mathematician.

My point is, you can't judge who's the expert based on the quality of the science produced because you don't have the expertise for that. But believe you me, if someone spends a lot of time doing things other than research, they're probably not the best.
Solder, the unsung hero of the digital revolution (2018)
I never touched black and white professionally except C-41 chromogenic (color film that only renders black and white). I don't have any deep understanding of the chemistry, but what I've been told is that all film contains silver, but in color film all the silver compounds are removed and replaced with dyes or pigments (I don't know the tech here) in their development process. Developing accurate and stable color was the holy grail of film photography and was mostly accomplished by the 90's.

My understanding is that the silver chemistry is left in black and white negatives and positives and is extremely stable, which is why photographs from the beginning era of photography can be viewed like the day they were developed provided the substrate was stable and maintained well. For instance, Harvard's observatory has an archive of glass negatives that go back to the 19th century and can still be useful for historical data.
Someone else posted a link from outofthefog, but I came across pretty much the same set of principles as "grey rocking" but outofthefog called it "medium chill."

It took about... 5 years? Maybe more? For me to learn to use the principles well, whatever you wanna call them.

These issues go core-level deep!

But yeah, grey-rocking & medium chill are effective strategies to create & maintain the necessary distance to endure the onslaught from covert/ full-blown/ any and all narcissists. Granted, we all got bits and pieces of that dark side in us somewhere, and all of us will have to learn to address it sometime and to whatever extent it impacts us.

>Limiting contact with them is the best decision I’ve made in my life, and I’m not sure I would have been able to do that in a culture with stronger familial bonds.

As someone with toxic family and a stronger family-oriented culture, I’d say it’s easier: family size is larger (in the sense that our relationship with cousins, uncles, etc is almost as much as with core family) so you might be able to maintain contact with a part, saving you from an all or nothing situation.

I broke contact with my father’s family, but my mother’s side of the family is still 10-15 people.
