My definition is how women are portrayed in visual media. You are trying to impose your own definition on to a term that already exists and has its own definition.

I'm not imposing my own definition, you're imposing a narrow definition which is fine, and I'm using a definition that is used in the colloquial sense, that even the Stanford Plato articles and other sources agree on. And I don't think you can decouple your definition, from the very act of gazing in the real world.

> Again, I’m not trying to do anything. I am using the term according to its definition.

The definition from what source? I've linked a few sources, what source are you referring to? I've linked several sources of the definition, here's another:

https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority...

"A manner of treating women's bodies as objects to be surveyed, which is associated by feminists with hegemonic masculinity, both in everyday social interaction and in relation to their representation in visual media: see also objectification."

> No, the male gaze refers to how women are portrayed in visual media, which is what this project is about. There is already at term for female objectification. It’s “female objectification”.

> You are being dishonest by trying to redefine an already established term.

I am not being dishonest here, the original project has commentary that is critique of the male gaze. If you can't acknowledge that, you're being dishonest.

> So let’s bring this back to the project. What is your specific issue with this project? In answering, keep in mind that the Sex Lives of College Girls didn’t exist when those paintings were created. Neither did gyms.

The whole premise of the project is not only to view the art form from a "neutral perspective" (what is that even supposed to mean?), but to critique "the male gaze." From the very About section on the page:

"For decades, it has been discussed in which ways depictions of women in art... Laura Mulvey coins the term “The Male Gaze” back in 1975 in her essay Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema arguing how women in especially movies would be objectified and fetishized, empowering the male heterosexual movie-creator and male heterosexual audience."

This is from the very website. Your premise that the intent of the website has no motives is not correct. And my initial statements in regards to there being examples of media objectifying men through a "female gaze" stands, hence the premise that the "male gaze" is a bad thing, is wrong.
If they did not get the money into their treasuries, they would not have incentives to do this at all.

This very same thing happens with the SEC - they just keep the fines. How do people not think this is robbery is beyond me.
Outside of some fringe scenarios, it's pretty hard to be worse in terms of cost of operation from an actual comparable ICE car. Even the slowest EV on the market is quite a bit more 'performance' oriented than something like a Prius... and if you start getting into faster cars (not even necessarily BMWs, but something like a top tier Accord), mpg drops accordingly down into the 30s and op cost goes back up.
A dream would be first-party integration. Syncing from one to the other is one thing, but a first-party obsidian application running on the ReMarkable? I'd let ReMarkable hire me to make this happen if this is something they'd be interested in

Similar feelings towards Java. Kotlin has been a refreshing change to read by comparison at my new job. Much less exhausting.
Vim, and it probably saved me way more than 100 hours. I use for coding (C++/JavaScript), for writing academic publications (dissertation/papers) and for writing e-mail (through mutt).

I've used it so much that it is second nature at this point, and moving to any other editor without my ever growing set of macros, etc would significantly impact my productivity.
A big difference is that a good artist does this in a meaningful way, creating novelty in a way that triggers a specific emotional impact or conveys a message. With generative AI, it’s all statistical sampling with any “meaning” inferred after the fact. But I do believe AI will be invaluable in helping artists explore idea space and refine their vision.
Advocating that others should not be allowed to live is beyond rude.
I'd never thought of that. I would have accepted that situation if it had a rip cord and not had been happy about the requirement. However, I'm very confident that it'll never happen as that people will pull the rip cord to record. (Heck I would probably obey the rules and pull the ripcord right before handing back the case to remove the phone)

It knows how to create in styles it been trained on. Yeah, you can tune and tweak parameters, but it's not the same. I will for sure kill most of digital artists, though.

A drawback of the Pi 4 is that if you want to do RAID with USB hard drives, I found that you need a separate powered USB hub for each disk. That's (A) to give them enough power (although I used spinning disks, it may or may not be necessary for SSDs), and (B) I found that when I had them on the same hub or on the Pi directly, when one disk went down, it would lead to the other disk becoming inaccessible as well. It seems with separate hubs, that's not an issue. (Don't ask me about the technical details why that might be so, if you know more and can explain that I'm wrong, go for it, it was simply the result of my experiments (with an n of 2 or 3 or so), and does make sense in that there's more electronics between the drives to shield, and it's indirectly addressed so maybe the kernel is less confused, whatever.)

My current setup with two hubs has been working reliably so far, but in spite of it all being USB3 it's still not that fast (about 100MB/s serially top--I'd hope that the 3.25'' disk drives (new 4 TB drives, WD Elements 2620 and Seagate Basic STJL4000400) could do more, but maybe I'm wrong). So for my next tiny servers / appliances, I want to try either of the following instead, which have SATA which should be more reliable and faster:

https://www.pcengines.ch/newshop.php?c=48881

https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/Home-Server/LIME2-...

Also, since Pi 4's are unobtainable here (Switzerland) currently: the Tinker Board 2 seems to be a bit faster than the Pi 4, and it has its wifi board as a plug in board, and I have been wondering if that can be replaced with a SATA interface, but haven't investigated.

Edit: seeing achairapart's comment, I realize that going directly from USB to SATA and then attaching disks there might have been a better option.
> That money will just go into the treasury.

My reading of the article is different. This reads as though $2bn of the $3.7bn was to go directly to the consumers whom Wells Fargo harmed:

a $3.7 billion settlement with federal regulators, including a record $1.7 billion fine [...] The agreement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau includes more than $2 billion in “redress to consumers” [...] The CFPB is ordering Wells Fargo to refund billions of dollars to consumers across the country.
That's a fair point however if you needed to go anywhere to fetch supplies anyone left at home wouldn't have power until you return. Gasoline just stores so much more energy than modern batteries and it can be pumped from the station without power I think it's more durable in an emergency.

Say you had to live in Kyiv for whatever reason right now. With the rolling outages would you rather have a plug-in hybrid or an EV?
Indeed. The law says that sex is characteristic that may be a BFOQ, and in the case of Hooters it seems to be. BFOQs may apply to sex, religion, and national origin, but not the other protected classes.

> Maybe I just haven't encountered modern Java?

even modern Java 18 codebases with exclusive use of records instead of classes, and with enabled enhanced support for instance pattern-matching instead of old-school conditional blocks and switches, are still significantly more verbose than Scala codebases, especially if the latter use `cats` or `scalaz` for all traversal/mapping/folding logic. Java developers would just manually encode all these patterns into series of nested loops by hand by default every time, because the required tooling as well as the compiler help to aid that tooling is not available in the language.

The cynicism in the commentary or justifications regarding how Afghanistan was handled is really extraordinary. They can be summarized basically as such: "We've spent $x trillion and what did we! get in return?" "Do you expect our troops to stay for another 20 years?"

The country was invaded without much competent planning or regard for the consequences, it was then dominated and shaped by its occupiers for two decades, but somehow it's Afghanistan's own fault for being left with a heavily corrupt and untrustworthy government and military.

Just as with the Kurds, the US abandoned a hassle once the opportunity arrived.

Twitter gives people who want to micro-publish to many millions of people very easily a place to do that. Of course, since Twitter stopped providing simple reverse-chronological feeds, it's unclear how many people would actually ever see a given post in their timeline as it was posted, rather than quote-tweets or external links directly to the tweet web page, but point taken. It is possible--although by no means certain--that the fediverse is incapable of handling that particular use case.

You asked about email, I'll counter with actual message services. For reasons clear only to the people involved, I have contacts I can only reach via Signal, or via WhatsApp, or via Telegram, or via WeChat, or via Discord, or via Slack, and so on. How do I cope with this? I just do. Similarly, if I had to visit eight different web pages to track my favorite super-popular people, I just would. Or I'd do what I actually do, and follow almost none of them, instead letting people who are terminally online quote and link to the ones worth knowing about.

If ActivityPub filled up, and couldn't take on any more users, then I would first expect technical solutions like a sharp rise in relay servers, which combine the output of many servers into one outbox to be polled. After that, assuming there was some sort of hard limit that couldn't be overcome that way, I would expect that I would need to create a new account on some other ActivityPub-like network, or even a separate unfederated network also running ActivityPub. My chosen client (Mastonaut) can already support multiple ActivityPub accounts on different servers, so my experience would likely remain the same.

You initially suggested that the Fediverse can't scale. It's worth noting that Twitter itself fell apart long before it reached anything like today's mastodon numbers, and the "Fail Whale" was a constant companion in 2008, when Twitter had only one million users, 200k of which were active per week[0]. So already ActivityPub is scaling better across the network than Twitter itself once did all by itself. Maybe Mastodon (Ruby on Rails) will fade over time, replaced by something written in a more efficient language (like Twitter was). Maybe ActivityPub itself will be converted to use thrift or grpc or similar. Maybe ActivityPub can support 100 million users just fine. It seems to have handled going from 300K monthly active users to 2.5 million monthly active users without trouble[1].

The total Fediverse seems to have more than 8 million total users now. I guess we might find out.

I get the lack of resistance to the TSA thing. I’m not saying my opinion here is the correct one, but here’s how I see it:

That ship has sailed. You no longer have a reasonable expectation of privacy in an airport. Courts have ruled that safety concerns override privacy considerations inside them. Alright, well, if this is the system we’re stuck with, then we might as well make it efficient. Now we have TSA PreCheck where you can give up all pretense of personal privacy in exchange for a relatively pleasant airport experience. And the facial recognition kiosks I’ve seen don’t seem inherently more invasive than having a human security guard doing their functional equivalent, and we’ve had that for many years.

I’m not thrilled about the situation, but feel powerless to change it. It seems like the majority of my countrymen think this a good tradeoff, so I can’t say I’m fully on the right side of the argument anyway. So if stuck with a system I can’t change, and most people don’t want to change, if this makes the practical experience of dealing with that system faster and less unpleasant, then fine. So be it.
Can you even imagine how relaxing it would be to have the same interface to your systems, every day, with all the parts in one physical location and never moving? Learn it once, then nothing changes for years and years, or if it does it's usually adding on, not replacing or re-arranging existing stuff? Man, that would be nice.
I think a case could be made for it. Or something like only taxpayers get to vote since they are effectively deciding how to spend their collective dollars. This is how companies operate with shareholders and that seems to work and people don’t bat an eye at it.
Reminds me of the IRS, which gives you 30 days to snail mail critical stuff like 83-B elections but advertises those deadlines nowhere
Oddly, me too. Things change only when a representative sufficiently well connected person/high status individual is inconvenienced by the current system. Lately, this seems to be the way to actually change things.

<< A lot of people seem OK with it when it’s policing the bad parts of town. This is their reminder that it can be used against them, too.

What is fascinating is that AI recognition did not reach individual homes yet ( say.. won't let you add family members to 'approved' members to open doors, but maybe I should not be giving ideas ). I did hear about it being a toy for the rich though.
> I'm not imposing my own definition, you're imposing a narrow definition which is fine, and I'm using a definition that is used in the colloquial sense, that even the Stanford Plato articles and other sources agree on. And I don't think you can decouple your definition, from the very act of gazing in the real world.

I think I see what the issue is. You are referring to male gaze, whereas I'm referring to Male Gaze. That's fine, but this project is about Male Gaze, or rather Female Gaze.

Male Gaze has a definition, and it does not include general objectification of women, which already has a term: objectification.

> The definition from what source?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_gaze

"In feminist theory, the male gaze is the act of depicting women and the world in the visual arts[2] and in literature[3] from a masculine, heterosexual perspective that presents and represents women as sexual objects for the pleasure of the heterosexual male viewer.[4] In the visual and aesthetic presentations of narrative cinema, the male gaze has three perspectives: (i) that of the man behind the camera, (ii) that of the male characters within the film's cinematic representations; and (iii) that of the spectator gazing at the image.[5][6]"

https://theconversation.com/explainer-what-does-the-male-gaz...

"The “gaze” is a term that describes how viewers engage with visual media. Originating in film theory and criticism in the 1970s, the gaze refers to how we look at visual representations. These include advertisements, television programs and cinema."

> I am not being dishonest here, the original project has commentary that is critique of the male gaze. If you can't acknowledge that, you're being dishonest.

Exactly. It is a critique of the Male Gaze, a term which has an established definition that does not include general objectification. If you can't acknowledge that, you're being dishonest.

> "For decades, it has been discussed in which ways depictions of women in art... Laura Mulvey coins the term “The Male Gaze” back in 1975 in her essay Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema arguing how women in especially movies would be objectified and fetishized, empowering the male heterosexual movie-creator and male heterosexual audience."

Did you notice that you just included the definition of male gaze from the person who coined the term, and it is the definition that I've been using?

> This is from the very website. Your premise that the intent of the website has no motives is not correct.

Where did I claim they have no motive?

> And my initial statements in regards to there being examples of media objectifying men through a "female gaze" stands, hence the premise that the "male gaze" is a bad thing, is wrong.

Again, these paintings were created decades, or centuries before your examples of female gaze existed.

And you are now implying that if a female gaze exists, then a male gaze cannot be wrong? That's obviously a terrible conclusion.
Deep work. Essentialism in asynchronous culture
I disagree with pg's comment there, both personally and in my reading of the rules and intention of HN (even though, yes, I know he created it.)

If people upvote/downvote for agree/disagree the comments and stories become a tedious hivemind.

I also stand by my original comment, people are mostly downvoting him because he is engaging in very silly hyperbole.
> It's a $5k display that's intended for pro-use.

You make a clear case, except paying 20% of the cost of the device for a stand that sits on the desk seems ridiculous to me.
My pleasure, hopefully this answers your questions, but if not, I’ll check back to see if you ask a follow up question.

From the “Applications and Results” section towards the end of the paper:

“Figure 9 documents the energy consumption of the three images of Figure 8. Energy consumption is measured according to our energy model from Equation 1, using various grid sizes. The most prominent observation is the substantial energy savings achieved by colors chosen according to our continuous optimization approach. Across the different grid resolutions, we save on average 41 percentage of energy compared to using ColorBrewer colors.”
I contribute to packaging. But thanks for teaching me about something I know already.

Now try to get something using an obsolete version of some python module into Fedora or Debian and let me know how it goes… It would not be accepted as it is. It'd be patched to work with a current one or just rejected.
You're not wrong, but not entirely right either.

They've not done it on a road surface from standing start. I know a reasonable amount about the tests that have been done to make those numbers, and Tesla require a foot rollout on VHT to get a 1.99/1.98 time. That's not the same as from standing on tarmac or concrete.

Rough rule of thumb is that starting from stopped on tarmac costs you about
25-.3s depending on conditions.
Yup. My 2006 Mac Pro (first gen intel mac pro, the original cheese grater tower) cost me under $3000. IIRC, that plus a 24" Dell display added up to $3k total, or $4400 in today's money.
That lagoon seems so custom-made for birds! Especially with the tide coming in and out.

I've often driven up from the south, and am amazed that sometimes there's hardly any water at all, and then sometimes it's a deep lake.
I don't think it will get killed, but I think those models will eventually replace people that work on non-original stuff. Like, I don't doubt AI can "direct" the next 100 CoD games and no one will notice anything.
You’re right we can push beyond that limit or even there (assuming that person actually lived that long, look up the controversy) with just diet or the biology we know today. But as you point that’s nothing fundamentally problematic with the idea of our body being viable for hundreds of years with the right support. So I’m hopeful.

Is it true that Java isn't slower than Python/Ruby/.Net? What are the fast ORMs and MVC frameworks for it that let you build a web app quickly the way ROR / Django / whatever .net people use?
Remember three years ago when AI couldn't do any of the stuff you described? I'm confident the capabilities will continue to improve.
20x was always an exaggeration. It counted class boilerplate and compared stuff like hello world which was always "decorated". As scale that overhead gets minimized. Java will always be a bit more verbose than some other languages. It's strict. By definition that's more verbose. It also forces declarations (e.g. public). Again, a choice to keep things clear.

But that's not the code that takes time to write or read. In that department Java isn't more verbose in a significant amount. If you're the type of person that gets upset that every line ends with a semicolon or that we need to repeat the word public for many methods. Then sure. Java is verbose.

Looking at the body of a Java method I don't see something I can significantly cut down with TypeScript or Python.
Wtf man?
