They both go together.

Image AI has inpainting. You can provide a sketch for the AI to follow, have it redo parts of the image, or have it extend the image. You can pull things into Photoshop and retouch there.

Novel AI has story writing assistance. Or ChatGPT can be used to provide bits and pieces that can be then combined or improved until something good results. Eg, Chat GPT can write fairly passable poetry that one could use as a base for something actually good.

So far all AI works much better when combined with a human that knows what they're doing. You can easily create hundreds of okay pictures, but an actual artist is still by far the best user for an image generator.
Looks good, are they going to offer a hosted model? I couldn't find pricing on their website, just an email sign-up.

Airtable's pricing just didn't work for me as an individual user - $$$s per month even for a simple table with ~2000 rows. At least Google had the good sense to make it accessible to individuals, because those same people then go on to make decisions at work.
That's an even better take as this kind of thing will tend to feed on itself.

I continue to be amazed at how counterintuitive this all is. It may feed on itself, but in practice that might involve looping through dozens of somewhat adjacent topics in different subsets of the population. Such loops could take minutes or years.

>plagiarism as many publications in academia outsource a large amount of work to others (PhD students, for example)

Do you have a source for this claim? PhD students get credit for the work that they perform, their names are on the papers so I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that they aren't getting credit or that this is somehow plagiarism

This is the gist of what makes Django and Flask and such work fine even when you’re using some GIL-affected concurrency model like gevent. Most of the waiting for your typical web server is I/O.

This may be annoying, but it makes sense at scale. If you learn the rules, you'll do it right the next time. If I fix commits, I'll handle a fraction of the PRs I could otherwise - and submitters will learn that anything goes (And I am still fixing the most trivial issues)

For security issues, mentioning cve gives the pr a security tag which helps speed thing up.
If you don't see anything wrong with the government forcing censorship on controversial political questions, such as whether elections are safe and fair, just imagine your own reaction if after the 2016 election, Trump's FBI would be monitoring Twitter for any information about Cambridge Analytica / Russia's interference, labeling them as misinformation and censoring and banning everyone mentioning them.

If your values only apply when they fit your wanted outcome, they aren't values they are pathetic excuses.

By the way, this opens the door to all the other agencies of the world outside US to demand same kind of access. Including European. Maybe China wants it too.

And for the record, I think Elon banning Elon Jet and journalists is wrong too. But there are too many people who only care about the censorship when it hurts them, and cheer for it when it suits them.
For but one counterexample among many, look at where we get our oil. Saudi Arabia is one of the most tyrannical oppressive and regressive societies, but that's all perfectly fine to the powers that be so long as they keep the oil moving. And I don't think this is really hypocritical.

The entire reason society works, or worked, is because people were willing to put aside their differences, regardless of how extreme, to engage in behaviors that were mutually beneficial. Start judging people based on adherence to your own politics and you'll find that, sooner or later, everybody will be your enemy.

Not really. What are the intelligence agencies supposed to do if not exactly what is being “revealed”? Are they not allowed to talk to private companies or citizens?

If it was being revealed that they were making demands and forcing companies to do things that would be a serious issue. Instead they are asking, nicely, and even paying them for their time and work.

> I’ve been trying to read these Twitter files threads thoughtfully

I stopped after the first one. If there’s any meat to be found then the last vestiges of respectable right-wing media will amplify it. Until the WSJ posts anything more than “This Is Sort Of Bad! But We Already Reported It In Full Last Year!” then there’s no point subjecting yourself to it.

Americans are living in a world with a land war in Europe with an old foe on one side, and the increasing pressure exerted on Asian trade and policy partners by a Pacific rim empire we've not seen eye to eye with in the past 100 years.

I'd like to see more effort expended on spying and undermining our rivals than ourselves. But such large diplomatic/economic/(hopefully cold)military projects require long term thinking we're poor at. Its so much easier to just fight the latest culture war against domestic weirdos and malcontents.

Every time we have one of these internal thought-purity checks, it sows discord in an already discordant country made of too many different races religions and regional cultures to ever work if we're going to try and weaponize our own governmental security apparatus against each other, vying for control on the airwaves and at the polls, just so we can stick it to our domestic rivals for a few years.

The cowboy and the indian are both Americans.
>The study controlled for the decade in which couples met, age, gender and occupation, and online couples were still more likely to divorce in the early years.

Something tells me that these controls weren’t enough to account for differences between the populations that use online dating platforms and those that are less likely to.
labor movement will continue to gain momentum. union filings were up 53% this year and that trend will continue.
>They will be bringing artists that were removed from latest SD models.

Is this referring to artists opting-out (i.e. requesting to have their work removed) from the datasets used to create SD models? Because if so, I fully support that. In fact, I think artists should have to explicitly opt-in to their work being used in ML models. You don't get to violate someone's license terms and then point to an opt-out form to absolve yourself of liability, regardless of how good your intentions are or being a crowd-funded venture unconnected to any corporations with armies of lawyers.
> This spirit of self-organization, slightly transgressive but organized fun taught students how to organize things like the 2000s tech revolution.

Looking from the other side of the “party” that very same culture of no consequences and unchecked toxic masculinity probably also fueled the rampant problems with SA that’s been exposed widely across tech during the #metoo movement.
The Hunter Biden laptop story was real. The FBI knew it was real. The FBI lied to corporations like Twitter to stop accounts from legitimate publications from reporting on it right before an election where it certainly could have impacted the outcome.

Twitter went even further and prevented people from exchanging the story with each other in DMs.

I honestly don't see how you could be comfortable with this, unless you're willing to disregard their actions because they happen to protect the party you agree with at the moment; or because you're presuming that the FBI would never use this relationship to operate in bad faith.

Twitter didn't go to the FBI to ask for verification, the FBI on their own accord decided to take their "intelligence" to Twitter for action that they desired. This is obviously backwards.

If Twitter wants to call up the FBI for verification or for information on a particular subject, tweet, or account because they wanted to investigate.. that would obviously be fine. That is clearly not what is happening here.
Mastodon doesn't even know what to do with Mastodon.
I bought a 6 disk Synology a few months ago and it came with ECC by default. I did a cursory web search about this just now and ECC support appears to be the norm for 22 (as in the year 2022) model revisions and newer (thankfully!).
On the other hand... I met my spouse online. We lived in different countries, so it was a while before we met. That was at least 13 or 14 years ago now.

The bigger difference between us and "online dating" was that we met playing a game - doing a shared activity. Everyone, online or not, is a stranger at some point.

> Havel uses the example of a greengrocer who displays in his shop the sign Workers of the world, unite! Since failure to display the sign could be seen as disloyalty

it reminds me of news anchors complaining about a politicians flag pin being on the wrong side (showing disloyalty) or lack of cristmas decorations/saying "happy holidays" as being anti-religion... then you have everyone being hyper worried about completely trivial things....

or is that a different phenomenon?
> Japan went to war in China in the 1930s not because of a ruling clique that wanted to maintain power, but because of the rogue actions of military officers.

This is myopic. Yes, the Manchurian Incident was kicked off the invasion of Manchuria and then the Second Sino-Japanese War was a rogue act by a few officers. But that was just the spark that started a bonfire; who piled all the wood up? Who was responsible for the decades of military buildup that preceded it? Were the acquisition of all those battleships and carriers a series of rogue acts as well? Before WW2, the Japanese government spent decades trying to maneuver Japan into being an imperialist world power that could rival America or the UK. The 'ruling clique' of Japan didn't strike the first spark, but they did labor to engineer the circumstance in which such a spark would inevitably find ample fuel to burn.

No. Established cities tend to be not in flood plains due to survivor effect. Chico, Lodi, Sacramento, and even Stockton are above 100-year floor areas for the most part. Typically the most flood-prone areas are the oldest parts of old downtowns and the newest sprawl where they are gobbling up marginal land.

Yeah, I have explained to my dad many times that he can check the same email account from his tablet and his PC but he just doesn't get it. To him, his gmail is only on his tablet and his Comcast email is only on his PC and that's that.
This is likely the reason. Other providers like BitWarden caches the urls for certain time on client side. Even if you lock vault, extension can suggest that here is available login for certain period.

I like where you're going. Glad your comment is being read.
The book assumes running Darwin/OS X, which has consequences specific to that, eg https://github.com/below/HelloSilicon#listing-9-1 but one of the biggest changes is the GPU attached to the arm core, resulting in non-native Apple-specific code. It may not affect the ARM CPU core directly, but if someone is running on Apple Silicon you can assume MPS support whereas you cannot do that for ARM64 targets.

It might also be worth reiterating that this book is, itself, a port from the original, more generic ARM version.
Luddism has a pretty long history, by now it should be clear that fighting against technological advancement is such an impossible challenge that it's utterly pointless and a massive waste of time.

While I understand why some artists are upset, the ones who succeed in the future will be the ones who use the technology in their work, instead of those who just complain and whine.
Airtable was so cool when I tried it years ago but it was insufferably slow. Just unusable as are many web apps these days unfortunately

You can downplay this all you want - but remember: stuff like this is a microcosm of a larger issue.

Sections of your government worked directly with Twitter to control what information you saw.

Much bigger organizations - Facebook comes to mind - must be doing the same thing every.single.day. And no one finds this even a little bit alarming?
I think the important thing here is the lack of judicial oversight. There used to be needed a court order to request things from companies, so someone would actually weight in the evidence and legality of it.

Now it's just someone from a secret agency shutting down news stories about laptops because it makes one political candidate look bad.
this can, and is done often, no glue needed, just O-rings and small aperature sizes, so water stays out due to surface tension.

GPSers and FRS radios have done this for a long time. cell phones did this until later in the "slim is in " marketing campaign.

The Apple ABI has requirements not present in the generic ARM.

yup, it’s a very noticable improvement - 15% or so.
It is, but I also feel like it is counterproductive to the message you are trying to communicate. The rest of the post is otherwise articulate and sourced.
Linux on the desktop has far less backwards compatibility than macOS I'd argue. Yes the kernel <-> user space ABI is stable, but anything above that tends to be very messy on Linux.

I recently ran across Benfey's alternate periodic table (1964) which is similar but more complete:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_periodic_tables
As a content creator, I believe unstable diffusion and AI models is theft, at least in a moral sense. Computer programmers have taken all the art that humans have worked hard to produce, and are producing it themselves at a rate much faster than any artist can produce it and reaping the financial benefits. Because AI is so general, it operates on a scale not previously known in the realm of automation, and so it's too much of an unfair advantage -- far more so than someone coming up with an invention that makes a few other previous inventions obsolete.

AI is like an alien race coming to our planet. The alien race is so advanced that it can do everything better than any human, and they use their technology to sell us perfect products of every nature in return for degrading acts. Such a thing disrupts the fabric of society, which is held together by people needing each other.

Computer programmers and tech companies are not just robbing artists, but robbing all of humanity of the necessities that we need in order to have a fair chance at this world.
We pay fat piles of taxes for the government to secure liberty.

The idea that that government is "managing" that liberty is Constitutionally murky. The "private property" fig leaf is scant comfort.
I still use xv to print maps and various screenshots. I take a screenshot then xv filename then right click, print, greyscale, Max, Ok

It changes the colors to greyscale for my non-color laser printer, scales it perfectly to fit the 8.5x11" paper, and prints.

I remember in 1997 during the first Mars Pathfinder rover mission that NASA was basically doing a live screen sharing session from someone's desktop and they used "xv" to load the image. I was 27 but I grew up obsessed with space exploration. Well I still love it, but at the bottom it said "UNREGISTERED COPY" and people on Usenet were talking about how NASA didn't register their copy. I think they did later but I was just so excited to see xv on national television.
> AI art is about putting together the work that artists have done in a way that isn't technically theft (well it might be the law is very slow about reacting to this thing and you can't go after someone for copyright violation as a class action lawsuit)

How do you think humans learn art? Humans aren't magic, they learn to make art by looking at and being inspired by other art, and I'd bet quite a lot of that art is copyrighted. AIs are just doing the same thing but way faster, and I don't see any issue with that. (Same with GitHub Copilot for that matter.)

2 factors strike me.

1) online dating is more goal orientated. You are looking for a potential mate, possibly because (certainly years ago when these (ex) couples met) they feel the biological clock ticking and want to settle down have kids etc. So potentially these people are rushing into marriage quicker than say two people that met at uni?

2) background. My current partner and I met online. We have extremely different backgrounds[1]. If you meet someone irl, you probably share a job, an education, a hobby. You are likely to have more in common, and a similar cultural grounding.

[1]Shes Spanish, so maybe I'm extrapolating too much from that.

Theres a big difference. If you’re hashing a password for storage you end up getting the password first.

LastPass NEVER gets your master key server side. All encryption is done locally.

Also, hashing a password is extremely quick. To unencrypt the full vault and re-encrypt it does take an amount of focused time.

Might not be able to be done “silently” in the background, but obviously LP should have been forcing an upgrade on login.

Ahh yes, all those tweets the FBI reported that Matt forgot to tell you were straight up revenge porn. I really wonder why they were deleted! If only he could have found out using, like, the Web Archive, as many others did afterwards.

After a day and a half of usage it became painfully obvious to me that nix is unusable. There are at least four competing ways to use the nix language to configure software. Each of them individually tickles my sense of very neat engineering but together they are a nightmare, with unique shims that must be used between every combination.

Much worse, nix does not do any actual package management, i.e., dependency management. There is no way to derive a common-denominator configuration for a dependency shared between two dependent packages, each with their own configuration requirements (a la portage). Nix style is to install the dependency twice. It achieves that wonderfully, which is essential for development environments, but it should permit the shared dependency model for the "base system".
Requests are different from demands. It’s not like the FBI tells Twitter to take something down under threat of violence. They say just ask and Twitter agrees, sometimes, because they are on the same page.
This question was decided many years ago. The paywalls are annoying and suck, but HN would be far worse off without articles from NYT, WSJ, Economist, and similar publications. (Note: I'm not saying all their articles are good. Just some of them.)

One of these years the publishing industry will get its act together and there will be an actual solution to this problem, but in the meantime, allowing paywalls that have workarounds and excluding paywalls that don't have workarounds is the local optimum.
> Everything Twitter does is surely up for internal debate...

Had there been more internal debate and less diktat, fewer blunders would have shipped, only to be retracted a day or a week later.

Anyone contradicting Elon is gone or soon will be. There's no reason to expect the current rate of blunders to decline.
Do we know truly that 'most' Russians believe this? We understand that it is the only narrative that they are allowed to hear via media, but it seems that there were many who did not believe it in the beginning, and many who still don't though they are forbidden from voicing that. Interesting to know for sure how it goes over there..

I would agree. I think the political reason this doesn't happen is because the victims aren't voters in the relevant area. Not even necessarily in the most cynical sense. How many people will have researched upfront who the relevant representatives are at their destination, let alone how to reach them?

I keep thinking one might want to have some sort of international organization where people in each country reciprocally lobby for better international workers rights for each other's citizens.

Maybe something like this already exists, but I haven't heard of anything like it?
Which is to say it doesn't work. Not as an accessibility tool anyway. When something which is meant to work all the time only works some of the time, it's broken.
