Also, this application of the rules is completely in line with original policy about inciting harm, and as a private company, Twitter is well within their right to deplatform users that don't follow their rules.

What seems capricious to many right now might actually be even-handed enforcement of pre-existing rules towards people that had gotten used to special treatment. And if it's not even-handed I don't see how anything has changed from before, where some people were given a free pass from the rules while others weren't -- the only difference is who is blessed and who is cursed.

Once you are in a high GDP (western countries) situation it doesn't matter anymore, and an increase in GDP for those does not really mean an increase in life expectancy. The marginal benefit decreases massively.

See e.g. US GDP growing 38% 2009-2019, but life expectancy being stagnant with a 0.5% increase.

All these 1990s Unix workstations lacked polish compared to Mac OS too. They were rock solid stable whereas Mac OS 9 was incredibly unstable back in the 1990s. But usability for the user was atrocious on a lot of these machines, and they were often 10x more expensive than a PC or Mac.

Linux was already more "polished" than most of these commercial Unix machines by 1996-1997. I used SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, Irix, DEC Unix, SCO, and more in one of my first jobs.

Back then those Unix machines were all desktops. So was linux for the most part, although it was certainly possible to setup a Linux laptop by then. A lot of the stuff that Linux lags on today compared to Mac OS like graphics acceleration, power management, battery life, external/internal monitor switching, etc.. were kind of irrelevant back then as the machines just sat on a desk and you didn't move them around, there was no wireless, and graphics acceleration was in it's infancy. (You could get accelerators on the Unix machines but they cost 10s of thousands.)

But out of the box a bunch of those Unix workstations would have stupidly broken stuff and you'd be spending a bunch of time fixing configuration and installing software before you could feel productive on the machines. Stupid stuff like opening a terminal and the key mappings were not even configured! You'd try to do something and even the backspace key would be broken.

IRIX was the most polished in my memory. The last Sun machine I had at work was in 2003-2004. But I was doing a lot on Windows at that point. It was a few more years before places I worked started realizing OSX could do it all. Around 2010 or so I remember being shocked when we dropped support for Solaris for the product I worked on. When we had first started supporting linux (something I had worked on) it was edgy, just a few years laster all the customers had dropped all the commercial unix variants and only wanted linux support.

Off the shelf yes, but wow…. The requirements for Unreal are unreal.

Recent versions handle real-time global illumination (Lumen) and dynamically render geometry to insane levels of detail (nanite). Both of these are groundbreaking achievements. But having had to install this in a bunch of university computers I can tell you that it comes at a cost.

Interestingly, the most significant issue is the space these installations require. We have optimized our installation as much as we can, but we nonetheless had to introduce systems whereby local storage was wiped clean every two weeks.

What we're talking about here is the immanent arrival of it being impossible for a very large number of people to get a career in something they enjoy (making images by hand).

It's fair to suppose (albeit based on a very small sample size, i.e., the last couple hundred, abnormal years of history) that all sorts of new jobs will arise as a result of these changes- but it seems to me unreasonable to suppose that these new jobs of the future will necessarily be more interesting or enjoyable than the ones they destroyed. I think it's easy to imagine a case in which the jobs are all much less pleasant (even supposing we all are wealthier, which also isn't necessarily going to be true)- imagine a future where the remaining jobs are either managerial/ownership based in nature or manual labor. To me at least, it's a bleak prospect.

I never thought about the idea of having a sort of "table buffer" being the source of truth before sending it to kafka.

Lots of people in these comments trying to reduce art in a way that is pretty hilarious. You hit the nail on the head. Art is only interpolation if you....remove the human that created it, in which case you would not call the image art. AI "art" is computational output, to imply otherwise is to mistakenly imply a family resemblance to human (and uniquely human I would argue) creation.

Sounds like a vote to stick with my promise to help Friendica. I've got to admit my main issue with it is that it's in PHP. A lot of these platforms seem to be, and I'd rather work on something in, for example, Svelte+Node.js or something.
> Honestly the saddest part is how you could have both the private servers and matchmaking almost seamlessly

Not true, having to pick a server to join by yourself out of a list was an essential part of the classic online experience and the existence of any kind of matchmaking system harms it.

Team Fortress 2 is a prime example of this, originally it only had a server browser and the community felt most "alive" during this time. Then they added a basic matchmaking system that could place you on community servers, but only if they ran stock maps and settings, which heavily discouraged running any kind of modded or customized server, and significantly harmed any servers with a strong sense of community since you had random players, often fresh F2P installs that were barely distinguishable from bots, joining servers with no intention of ever playing on them more than once. Then they replaced that with the full official-only matchmaking we have today, which killed most of the remaining servers and associated communities.
Actually it could lend itself to a great business model as well — hackers both start startups, and often are looking for jobs at startups. You could use it for lead generation for startup founders to join your accelerator (once that concept exists), and an added benefit to founders would be access to hiring from the pool of hackers on the site. Win/win.

Sounds like bit of a schlep though. Would need to draw an audience e.g. by producing a ton of your own content early on. Lots of legal processes involved with operating an accelerator. Probably not worth it.

It does support all majors browers, except safari.

Vine definitely had people coming back iirc. Don't take into account Twitter's boneheadedness.
I didn't say it was 'just' a number.

I didn't claim it didn't correlate 'nicely' with life expectancy.

I said it doesn't 'always' correlate. There are outliers, as with most trends. And besides - quality of life is a more important metric than life expectancy. Russia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia are world leaders on life expectancy and GDP. But terrible on women's rights, equality, and human rights.

We shouldn't be measuring human benefit on GDP, we shouldn't be questioning the merits of reducing climate change based on maximising GDP.

I think nobody would use a social network that would be created by the most popular ideas that float on HN. Established social networks are popular not despite their "problems" but because of them:

nobody wants to manage their own data
people are on social networks to be entertained not to "keep up with old friends"
they want to be where brands, advertising and celebs are
they want the opposite of decentralization, they want where everything is in one place
addictive algorithms are what people like by definition, they are not created but discovered
click bait, outrage, etc, again are what people are looking for

> I think this can only be taken to a point before you realise you'll be wasting your time.

If a waste of time is lack of progress towards a desired outcome, you'd first need to define what the desired outcome is. Arguments on the internet almost never have the effect of persuading the person you're debating of your opinion when they didn't previously hold that opinion already.

But for those on the side lines who merely read through a thread without participating because they simply hold no opinion on the matter at all, or maybe encounter it years later when searching for some information on a search engine, there often is value when both sides of a debate carry it on for as long as they have new information to provide and their time budget will allow.

The termination criterion that's actually in effect most of the time is that a debate is broken off when the overall tone has veered away from civility by too much. That's why we rarely get to see good debates on the internet. They are broken off exactly when they should be getting interesting.
...so that's why I say: It's lack of civility that deserves downvotes, not opposing viewpoints.

Debating, after all, is almost a bit like a sport. Now imagine someone challenges a boxing world champion to a fight, and the world thinks that the fight is worth watching. Now the champion turns it down, thinking to himself "It would be a waste of my time to fight this person who is just so much worse of a fighter". ...that would be unsportsmanlike. And what's the worst that could happen? Either the champion reaffirms his position and the fight is a bit boring (but still good "training"), or it's a Creed vs Rocky kind of thing, where everybody gets an unexpected retune of their respective perceptions. ...either way, if it's a fight the world wants to see, I'd just give it to them.

One of the things that I find problematic is that we enjoy so many conveniences or efficiencies where taking a step back feels unimaginable. We used to have human computers. Going back on this to rescue an old profession would seem unimaginable. Paying individual taxes is very easy for many nations. Going to what the US has just to rescue many accounting jobs seems absurd.

Now imagine a future where AI can assist in law. Or should we not have that because lawyers pay so much for education and they work so bitterly? Should we do away with farm equipment as well? Should we destroy musical synths so that we can have more musicians?

It’s one thing to say we should have a government program to ease transitions in industry. It’s something else to say that we should hold back technological progress because jobs will be destroyed.

How do we develop a coherent moral framework to address this matter?
> Or solely to preserve endangered species?

what is the point of creating yet another social network unless you have a key feature to make it distinct and valuable?
if you just make a twitter / facebook clone for tech people all you are doing is dividing yourself from other people. that might be desireable for some people but i dont think its worth persueing in the long term.

i propose we create something that addresses existing problems and adds new features. a social network not based on yet another website, not based on yet another app with centralized ownership.
blockchain is the new hype and promises new features and value.
lets make a social network that exists entirely on a cryptoblock chain. i am not talking about creating yet another coin. this is entiely outside of the scope of monetary tokens.
lets use the blockchain technology to host text and link posts in a distributed fashion.
lets come up with a way to give an incentive to host a copy of the chain. and lets make it completely decentralized.
then you have a social network worthy of hackers
The idea that verbal attacks can be somehow synonymous to physical attacks is nonsensical.

To me, this is the Google alternative that we have been waiting for. Open, collaborative, but with some real money attached to it. I hope it works.
Unpopular opinion: any social network, no matter how it’s architected will become terrible past a certain size. Perhaps some architectures will have different “maximum tolerable sizes” than others, but all will become intolerable once there is a large enough user base.

More users, however, means more ad / tracking revenue, so these two ideas will always be at odds.

I know Nintendo includes this step in their hole-punching troubleshooting guide, but it's just not necessary. I've never met anybody who needed to do this to get their NAT traversal working, it's worked out of the box for every Switch game I've used for everybody I know. I'm sure there are people with weird or bizarre enough networks that standard STUN techniques don't work, but in my ~4 years of playing switch online games with my friends I've never met any of them.
The issue is that you failed to answer any of the questions. Hence, you're unable to separate a person from an action. You must marry them into a narrative. That's Disney thinking.
I do exactly this in my side project. I have a set of rules which put restrictions on which packages and modules can be included from other packages and modules. For example, a high maturity package is not allowed to depend upon a low maturity package. Similarly, a core library package is not allowed to rely on a package that is specific to a particular product or a particular piece of bespoke development. In this way, much of the potential for circular dependencies is eliminated, and the purpose and internet is clearly communicated.

(I don't do this using sourcery though ... I have my own set of rules)

This is qualitatively different than what the Luddites faced, it concerns all of us and touches the essence of what makes us human. This isn't the kind of technology that has the potential to make our lives better in the long run, it will almost surely be used for more harm than good. Not only are these models trained on the collectively created output of humanity, the key application areas are to subjugate, control and manipulate us. I agree with you that this will not happen immediately, because of the very real complexities of physical manufacturing, but if this part of the process isn't stopped in its tracks, the resulting progress is unlikely to be curtailed. I at least fundamentally think that the use of all of our data and output to train these models is unethical, especially if the output is not freely shared and made available.
There's nothing wrong with the model knowing what Mickey Mouse looks like.

There are noninfringing usecases for generating images containing Mickey Mouse - not least, Disney themselves produce thousands of images containing the mouse's likeness every year; but also parody usecases exist.

But even if you are just using SD to generate images, if we want to make sure to avoid treading on Disney's toes, the AI would need to know what Mickey Mouse looks like in order to avoid infringing trademark, too. You can feed it negative weights already if you want to get 'cartoon mouse' but not have it look like Mickey.

The AI draws what you tell it to draw. You get to choose whether or not to publish the result (the AI doesn't automatically share its results with the world). You have the ultimate liability and credit for any images so produced.
Yeah, it does seem like it. TBH, I don't have a big problem with this, though I don't like all of the potential implications.

I don't have it anymore, but for many years I kept an old Nokia CRT that I considered to be the pinnacle of the CRTs I had used. It was probably purchased in the late 1990s, something like (from googling) the Nokia 447xpro model. They used Trinitron screens, but Nokia also added really nice software for the on-screen control/setup stuff. I miss the old Nokia (their early GSM phones too!).
