Learning another language can also teach another way of thinking about things. There are also nuances that AI isn't going to help you with.

For instance, 'How's your father?' in Spanish means 'What is your father like?' In English it means 'How is your father's health?' - or it could also mean 'sexual intercourse'.

There will be better examples, obviously...
Notably, this design lacks reputability, which for some reason they didn't even want (as it might be used by "terrorists"), which led to arguments with Ian Goldberg, the developer of Off-the-Record messaging. The arguments on the big tracker about power imbalances were maybe a bit better, but I still personally disagree.

Lock contention from running a syscall once?
Thank you for this comment. While I see opdahl's point and agree that these summaries do not provide the same level of understanding as working through an in-depth book, I see them as the perfect fit for me.

I am essentially paid to know a wide variety of possibilities to solve a problem and then narrow down on some of them.

One of the most helpful things for me is quick and concise introductions to a topic that give me some outlines and enough terms to google to rapid-fire through hundreds of criterias on why something could or could not be a good fit for the problem at hand.

The worst slowdowns in this process are topics for which only lengthy books/docs are available. Don't get me wrong, I need those to learn more about the topic later but they often make it hard to get an easy overview.

If you are a public figure we all debate it here. If not, you still get fired but no one gives a shit.
You're right that the game has changed and I think it's crucial for illustrators (but not necessarily artists) to realize that and account accordingly.

The birth of photography did not mean the end of painting, but it did mean that certain roles for painters no longer had as much value. Portraiture mostly became the domain of the photographer and photo-realism became more trivial. Painting as an art form shifted gears into greater and greater abstraction with less emphasis on realistic representation.

I think a good example of that shift is the painter Mark Tansey. His paintings, while photo-realistic, don't derive their value from their resemblance to the real world. Instead their interest lies in their allegorical representation of people and places. Their value lies in the curation of ideas and the story, concept, or idea that they convey.

For now - even in the age of AI generated images - such artistic allegory is still out of reach of technology. The value still lies in the human curation of symbols and ideas.

None of those customers were creditors. The fraud was precisely turning them into creditors and using the deposit for gambling and corruption.
i wonder if 'slow' notifications might be a good sweet spot. instead of notifying you about a reply instantly it could send a summary of replies once or twice a day
>you're never going to be able to perfectly describe an image in your head. Language is too limited.

Pretty much this - and that's why both "AI art panic" and "I won't need artists anymore as I can just prompt anything" (which OP seems to try) are based on the wrong premise.

In general, people tend to make 2 false assumptions:

1. That SD is a ready to use product (it's more of a "middleware" model that is designed to build products upon)

2. That text to image is all it can do, while the most power is in style transfer, finetuning, and the ability to be guided with higher order hints than just text alone.

What would be best right now to use it as a content creation tool, is to combine SD with several other models to have temporal stability and tagged-3D-to-2D, and to use some software toolkit with a pipeline like that:

- quickly layout a mock-up scene in 3D with rough assets, just like in game engine level editors, possibly tagging the geometry or objects with short descriptions, like "middle-aged man", "Volvo semi", "pine tree" etc. No need for detailed geometry, just stick figures and rough shapes.

- using one of the multiple available techniques, train your style on your reference images (which might either be curated output of the model itself, or a specific visual language you constructed)

- enter your prompt, which doesn't need to be complex and convoluted as you already provide the precise hints on what you want

- let the model render the result, based on the depth, tagged geometry, rough rendering providing shadows and reflections etc
That does make sense, it sounds counter intuitive the first time you hear it (like when you hear about the 'which prize door to pick' scenario the first time), but then sit and think over it and it starts to click.

To most of us with very little experience as scammers, trying to spray-and-pray our way to riches makes the most sense. But to people with experience, adding those location cues and grammatical errors is their tool at reaching their target audience.

To us as receivers it makes no sense because we are expecting communications to be a certain way and for people we communicate with to be within a certain 'internet sphere' of knowledge and current trends (another example, some companies you deal with in some countries still send passwords over email, in my country many companies don't even put links in emails, just tell you to go to the website). So we've filtered ourselves out.

You might want to check out GraalVM’s native compilation. While this step will be slow, you can just use the JVM version for development and compile it at the end/CICD step.
Already, 96% of mammal biomass is humans and livestock. No one has the power to stop this process, to do what it would take. Enforcing a strict max-2 child policy on the whole world and/or telling people to live in the pods and eat the bugs. Hopefully, once our civilization goes interplanetary, we can try to restore a bit of what was lost.

Somebody stole my calculus textbook and sold it to the bookstore. This textbook cost over USD 200 new iirc. I would have probably paid the thief more than what the bookstore paid them for my used book.

Sure, clothes from Target might be relatively durable considering the price. But you need more clothing now. In a lot of places, it is socially unacceptable to wear the same thing for days in a row, even if you change your undergarments. You also don't have a realistic choice to make your own clothing. Cloth, thread, buttons and zippers aren't cheap and it became more out of reach in the late 80s and through the 90's (my mother sews and has for decades). That's not even considering things like a sewing machine, fabric scissors, and the fact that you might look like your clothes are homemade (which doesn't always fare well). Your Target clothing also won't be usable when it is worn, so you can't piece it together to make a new garment or even a blanket even if the stretchy material was easier to work with. You really can't do basic repairs like they used to do.

I'm not sure this is cheaper.
In the US you can borrow against something like $50k of it, but you do need a payment plan (with interest) IIRC. And you have account minimums and its only for certain purposes... etc. Thankfully our 401ks are safe from this for now.

This is slightly different to most. Would it have got this far it is was a cold contact? Probably not.

What this group did was lure someone into thinking they're part of a company as you're more likely to do what your employer tells you and you're far more likely to trust your employer too.

It probably pays off for the scammers to spend time this way as they probably get a much better conversion ratio.
it only takes 1-2 years of study to draw at (what a layman would consider to be) a competent level. most single person indie games also exercise some level of compromise in their scope and art direction, very few have anywhere near the number of assets op seems to think they need to make a game, many adventure games made by professional studios would fall well below the 2500 image mark.
I think the part that makes it more difficult to detect that this is a scam for someone that never encountered it is that it relies on the difference between real money in your account and "money" that can vanish at any point, you just don't know it. This is a case that most people don't encounter outside of this kind of scam. Another unintuitive part is that even if the rules of the bank say the money is yours, it actually isn't if it came from a third-party that was hacked/scammed/whatever.

The gift card thing is something that should trigger an alarm even if you never heard of it.
how do you clean it?

Sand and crap is going to blow across that and I don't see a practical way to get it off.

I'm not sure those panels are rated for people walking across them, so robots?

I can imagine that moss/algae is going to be a problem, as it start growing in the corners where all the dust gets trapped and is kept moist.
I live in the UK and if a business or person wants to receive money, they just give out a bank account number (6 + 8 digits) and name. This number can't be used to withdraw cash, deposit cash or paper checks, or any other purpose. It doesn't get more convenient than that. Pretty much every other country works the same, except the US.
Maybe the problem is that he is being critical of something made for Americans being European. American semis would be super stupid here, as well as European trucks might be stupid there, but then again Brazil is as large and less dense than the US and prefer EU style trucks.

When I read this I began to realize that this has happened quite a few times in the past. The founding fathers expected each other to know Greco-Roman history quite well. Live music and painting were far more lucrative skills in the past. French, Latin, and cursive used to be far more common in pedagogy. Harvard was a Bible school.

These things all used to be important until they weren't (or at least greatly diminished). AI is now coming for the last human tasks that can't be done by machines. The real question is whether any people will continue to feel motivated to spend years of study to surpass machines in specific domains
I don't think I've ever seen one up close, so I assumed it had to do with how fast the air rushes out, in a way overcomplicated way.

I thought maybe the design was such that the farther away it was, the less it would get blown on, and a given pressure would be able to make a certain amount of inertia before it was too far.

For some reason I imagined people had to manually push it back in and reset it, so there couldn't possibly be a spring.

I didn't even know they had springs at all! I'm sure I would have figured it out if I had examined one though, since it's basically a piston on a scale.

It seems I haven't made my point very clearly: I wasn't suggesting that there's ample self-maintaining land for everyone, that's clearly not the case. But if there was, would its inhabitants be slaves? And who's slaves would they be? Nature's? God's? Their own?

Is a self-employed black smith who owns everything downstream a slave? He'll mine the ore, smelt the iron, produce his own coal for his fire etc etc. Still, he'll have to sell his product at a fraction of what it's worth it to his customers. Like your "wage slaves", it'll be a very large fraction of it, but it's a fraction, they wouldn't buy it if it cost more than it's worth to them. Is the black smith a slave?
I read somewhere that some scammers do this deliberately to filter for easier targets.
> you can simply JOP to one of the authorized syscall instructions and entirely defeat the mitigation

But now you need to know where the libc is mapped in order to find those syscalls instructions yeah? Which increases the complexity of the exploit, because instead of making a syscall you have to find where the libc is mapped, and the entire point of ASLR is making that difficult, no?
I sell public domain art prints on Etsy.

Haven’t done anything on it beyond fulfilling orders for years - I found a really high-quality printers who do the production and shipping - but it’s probably good for an extra £100-300 a month, depending on how Etsy’s algorithm is feeling at the time.

I could probably sell more if I put more effort into it, but it’s nice as a very low-effort, if small, income stream.
No, the bank doesn't know if it's a fake check straight away. They find out weeks later during a reconciliation process with the bank that printed the check.
Hi! Knut from Sanity.io here.

You could actually always host the Studio yourself, since it's an SPA. What's new is that we refactored it out of its custom webpack tooling and made it “just a React dependency” which allows you to embed it into other applications.

It's true that the Studio connects to the hosted data store (<pitch>but as many free projects as you want with pay-as-you-go for overages</pitch>), so the use case is the optionality to have your content workspace with your content models close to where you're consuming it. It also allows you to put the content workspace on a route so that content creators can go to a `/admin` or similar to edit content.

The right way to avoid the effects of eating too much sugar is not to replace the sugar with artificial sweeteners, but to limit the daily intake of sugar.

I have seen the recommendation that the daily sugar intake should be up to 50 grams, i.e. up to 25 g of fructose.

This seems a plausible value, which is equivalent with 500 g per day of most cultivated fruits, e.g. apples, pears or blueberries, or 300 g per day of the sweetest fruits, e.g. grapes or fresh figs.

The refined sugar is not bad per se, as it is the same substance found in all vegetables, but it is bad because it easily allows its wrong use when food is made which is too sweet and which facilitates the eating of too much sugar every day.

Limiting the daily sugar intake is easy if you cook at home, but it is difficult if you eat industrially-produced food. Unfortunately for those who like them, the first measure to reduce the sugar intake is to stop drinking any industrially-produced beverages.

> Any molecule that can fool your tastebuds, can also fool some of the other receptors

I wouldn't be so sure of that. The body has a wide variety of sensing systems, and many receptors come in variants. A selective agonist is a molecule that activates some variants more than the others. Such a common and useful thing that there is a name for it.

Thank you for raising concerns about the licensing of Diskernet. I understand that the Polyform Strict License 1.0.0 may be unfamiliar to some users, but I believe that it offers several benefits.

First, my licensing protects my rights as the creator of Diskernet. I want to ensure that my hard work is not used or modified without my permission, especially in commercial settings. I believe this is a fair and reasonable request.

Second, my licensing allows individuals to use Diskernet for free for personal use. This means that anyone can download and use the tool to improve their own browsing experience, without any cost or obligation.

Third, my licensing allows businesses and organizations to purchase a license and use Diskernet for their own purposes. This allows me to continue improving and supporting the tool, while also providing businesses with a valuable tool for archiving and organizing their online content.

I understand that the Polyform Strict License may not be the most common licensing approach, but I believe it offers a good balance between the interests of the open source community and my rights as the creator of Diskernet. I hope you will consider giving my tool a try, and I believe you'll find it to be a valuable addition to your online browsing experience.
And no matter how hard I try, I can’t get it to understand any word with a rolled “r”.

Right now, I’m on lesson 29 in Spanish and trying to pronounce “pruebo” - “I taste” (also can translate to “I try”). It keeps thinking I’m trying to say “huevo” - egg.

Voice dictation works almost perfectly in English for me, so I’m assuming it’s my own mispronunciation

Are you correcting GP's 'bathroom'? Americans call the public facilities (e.g. in a restaurant) that or 'washroom', despite there (typically!) being no bathing or washing devices.

Fwiw, like 'toilet', 'loo' can be either the room/facility or the... 'appliance' itself.

> They had barely a blip in 2008, and the same run up post-2008, so the average home sale price was 2x that of the US in 2021

The general cost of housing is pretty bad in the US and it seems to be even worse in Canada.

Beyond the risk of bankruptcy and underwater mortgages, I wonder how much longer its politically palatable to have housing this unaffordable - especially in Canada where it seems worse.

I wonder what (if anything) the government will (be forced to) do to address this. Its often discussed how a generation of people (millennial) were basically all renters. Meanwhile, a lot of boomers seem to depend on the value of their house to aid them through retirement. Unless society finds a way to embrace renters as the new "American dream" (or Canadian, or whatever), it seems like there will be a major problem that will one day emerge.
I've worked at corporate jobs and smaller companies, and frankly if a large company said "here's a list of our authorised resellers, and a signing bonus paid by cheque, please use it to buy equipment as it's faster than going through procurement" I would 100% believe them as at every job I've ever had (before I got a company card) it was faster and easier to just buy and expense. I genuinely wouldn't bat an eyelid until it was too late.
