I’ll step in and say no, it’s not problematic to have one of the most productive and legendary hackers in AI to be in firm control of the future of the project that he himself created.

It sounds like you’re proposing that someone should create their own fork. That’s always an option, and I encourage everyone to. But what else is the proposal here? Forcibly move the repo? It doesn’t really make sense.

It’s funny seeing “the code is a mess” presented as a reason why a repo is problematic. It’s code. We all have strong feelings about code. Everyone has their own way of doing things with different engineering and product tradeoffs. In this case, automatic was right for pumping out features as quickly as possible and getting the first mover advantage.

So, concretely, what do you feel should be done?

I also feel like people haven’t read the actual TOS:

> We do not allow sexually themed or suggestive content that serves little or no purpose other than to solicit an erotic or shocking response, particularly where that content is amplified by its placement in profiles or other social contexts. This includes: ...Pornographic content

https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/acceptable-use-polici...

There’s a larger issue here, far beyond Automatic and this one repo. Those links clearly were not “little to no purpose other than to solicit an erotic or shocking response.” For reference, here’s the diff that got him unbanned: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki...
It's indeed not an easy issue, which is why I think there could still be lots of innovations to made in that space in terms of economics, politics, social sciences etc.
If you are in a lenient country you'll be fine with a public tracker, and it's easy to deploy sonarr and some torrent client to download things automatically.

This isn't a reminder that sanctions are useless. It's evidence of a crime that needs to be investigated and charges filed against the companies involved.
The FTC moves to ban noncompete agreements
They did not. Raises and promotions happened as usual. The two contracts were mostly the same, with the non-compete section added in the WA version.

I don't think that HR really understood my question, but I sure wasn't going to clarify things for them!
As CTO it always was mine and I invested lots of time for good relationships - E.g. visited them everyday for some minutes. But I might have experienced only good and helpful HR departments which were highly interested in people development. The only time I got real trouble was when the head of HR suggested I lay off half of the department (but even then I could change the number way down with cancelling all freelancer contracts and some investments).
Banning and removing links to illegal content: fine

Banning and removing links to content you personally find morally objectionable: not fine

It's not that complicated.
So..... I know this is going to kick off a flamewar (I apologize in advance, dang) but I have a serious question.

It looks like the "controversy" was links to a site that included anime child porn (or what some people would call that, regardless of your personal interpretation). I've been to Japan and wandered around some manga stores, and.... what they have on some shelves is, like, really, viscerally, incredibly, disgustingly, way way worse than anything I have ever seen on the internet. And I've been here since the 90s.

I guess my question is sort of 2-part:

1) Should linking to any site, which also hosts animated child porn, really be banned as a general rule? I don't actually know the arguments for/against it. I imagine that animated child porn may prevent child predators from having to go out and find real kids, because they can whack it to pictures of pretend kids. (sorry, I don't know a nicer way to say that) But perhaps that's not the case, or there is some other mitigating factor. I just don't think arguments should end at "eww, ick" or some variation thereof. We should have real intellectual discourse and solid arguments for why we censor content, not just "that's what we ban because we just don't like it" (or the much more likely reasoning: "because our advertisers/payment processors don't like it").

2) What impact should cultural differences have, if any, on enforcement? Like, in Japan, that kind of stuff seems, if not totally normal, at least acceptable enough to be included in stores along with other regular manga. So how should enforcement 'on the internet' reflect cultural values? Should the entire internet just reflect the values of the 'most powerful' countries and cultures? Or, when China eventually becomes the global superpower, are we gonna be OK with the norm then switching to be whatever China deems culturally acceptable?

Many current systems perform rational tree unification. Like SICStus, SWI by default, Scryer by default etc. This claim that unification going on forever only holds for rather the minority of systems today.
Ok fair, but don't be surprised when people vote out politicians who share your opinions. To me, and to the culture, community I live/grew up in, this is a horribly authoritarian, scary, dystopian attitude that has absolutely no place in a free society, period. Thank you for sharing your opinion regardless, but please just understand that some people think adults get to consent to anything (literally anything) as long as it doesn't affect someone else. When an actor gets naked consensually, and when a person watches this moment consensually, there can be no qualifier that can further affect the judgement of this situation. It's not relevant whether this is "obscene", "gross", "objectionable", "less than ideal", "degenerate", "poor taste" etc. (It's not relevant philosophically, of course whether it's relevant legally is a separate question). Two adults made a decision about themselves which had no effect to people not involved in this situation. If you don't like porn don't watch it; if you don't like porn being made, don't be a porn actor. Easy peasy.
It's not going to get more attractive. This is where some imaginative immigration policies can help.

He was asked to address some questions and make revisions. He was so aggravated that his paper was subject to peer review at all that he withdrew it. But his subsequent submission to another journal did incorporate some of the referees concerns. Einstein was a great scientist but he too was wrong sometimes. [1]

His 1905 seminal papers were not peer reviewed per-se but the journal's editor who accepted the paper was Max Planck! So it was reviewed by another legendary physicist.

These days science has branched off into such specialized areas that another specialist in the field is needed for review. Whether that should be an anonymous referee, or someone else it is still valuable to catch errors and determine the soundness of the techniques. Also the selections of those peers is something for debate too.

We won’t be using Lithium by 2050 anyhow. If not aluminum ion batteries, then some other substitute.
Is starting a roofing company a viable career path for _every_ young roofer that wants to make roofing their career?

If not I think that still hits the "knees give out by 55" issue.
The difference is which markup in my opinion. You add a lot of utility classes in Tailwind etc, but with Bootstrap you actually have to add scaffolding elements to make things work. The obvious one is all the nested .container, .row, .col, but even trying to use the navbars or button groups etc all required a lot of specific incantations/boilerplate to use their components correctly.

It's been years since I'd used it, maybe that's improved.
How is this deceptive? Anyone who has ever charged a phone is probably familiar with the concept that a higher wattage charger provides faster charging speeds - electric cars are no different. Higher power chargers charge faster is not some secret.

The car simply states the fastest DC connection it supports - 350kw. It works with any charger up to this wattage, just like my laptop charges from any USB-C source up to 100w - was I missold my laptop too because if I use a 50w charger it only charges at 50w?

EVs must charge from a huge range of different wattage chargers - I regularly switch between 7kw, 11kw, 50kw and 250 depending on the spec of the power source.

The power you get is determined entirely by the DC plug you use (and to some degree state of charge, but lets not complicate this further...) - the car has no bearing on this beyond supporting up to 350kw in this example. The car can't magically make a 50kw charger output 350kw, as nice as this might be.
Heated seating doesn't need to turn my car into a smartphone. A reasonably simple stereo neither. Bascially what you could have in a car in the 70s.

It would be interesting to know how much cost it would cut to leave out the hundreds of sensors and CAN bus stuff and phone-home interactive NFC magic. Less dev costs, less certification, less maintenance, less licensing.
Thermos?

Could it be a simpler explanation in that the thermos of cores 1 & 4 are better than where other cores are located?
I am English but moved to the Bay Area a few years back and became friends with a union electrician from Alabama so this conversation comes up a little - it sounded like unions are supported in the south even if they look a little different. However I’m not American and am not certain about that at all :)
It is astounding how posters here are bending over backwards to deny all responsibility. Russia is using American parts to kill Ukrainians. It doesn't matter where the parts were manufactured or how they got the parts. Why doesn't anyone here understand this?
If they're really arriving this year, I would expect an update that is more recent than Q3 2021.

Lithium-ion batteries have existed for many decades. It's not like nobody ever thought about using sodium, which is the most obvious substitution. The problem is that sodium has a much larger ionic radius, which means that inserting and removing it from the cathode tends to wear that out a lot quicker. As a result, most sodium-ion cathodes are doped manganese oxides, which is basically ignored for lithium batteries since its energy density is low. Even with this, the lifetimes are not ideal.

PNNL announced a breakthrough this July in a nickel-based sodium-ion cathode, but the cycle life (90% at 300, suggesting 80% at ~650) is still significantly shorter than what we expect from lithium (80% at >1000), and any NiO2-based cathode is going to carry an exothermic decomposition risk, electrolyte (Na or Li) notwithstanding. PNNL claims they are competitive with the state of the art in longevity for all Na-ion batteries. Also, the PNNL battery uses 10% cobalt to achieve this.

https://www.pnnl.gov/news-media/longer-lasting-sodium-ion-ba...

I expect CATL to release Na-ion batteries for the very-low-cost vehicle market in China, which is not what Americans have come to expect from cars.
Wouldn't it be great if people would just read the facts presented clearly in the referred articles, instead of making catastrophic but unfortunately baseless claims according to their alignment...
"why bother doing that when you could learn programming and work at a FAANG for $400k, or work in the finance sector and make possibly more?"

Because it's boring and depressing. And one thing money can't buy, unless you're solely interested in accumulating money, is satisfaction with your life.

Obviously not true for everyone, but we've got 8.8 million "scientists" (I'm not sure what they mean by the word). https://sciencebusiness.net/news/number-scientists-worldwide...

Most scientists don't work in academia. Some of those who do have stable jobs as staff instead of faculty positions.

> for a relatively small wage

This was found specifically to be the case for American men in a Boston Fed study last month: as the wage paid for trade-skill jobs shrinks over time relative to the wages paid to school-degree jobs, men increasingly refuse to work trade-skill jobs.

> The evidence from this study shows that the widening earnings gap between highly and less skilled workers over the last four decades is closely connected with the decreasing labor supply of prime-age men

> The decline in relative earnings is associated with a 0.49 percentage point increase in the exit rate, accounting for 44 percent of the total growth in the exit rate among non-college men over the 1980–2019 period.

https://www.bostonfed.org/publications/research-department-w...

Caveats. There are almost certainly further coincident reasons for the decrease in “blue collar” trade-skills workforce, both for men and for all genders; this particularly study should not be considered an exclusive factor, merely a relevant one. Please consider the constraints documented at that link before overextrapolating; for example, “non-Hispanic” which rules out biological causes, and so on.
And what if the actual meta-level question is whether those psychometrics tests are actually relevant in the modern day?

No, but supervising/managing is pretty viable. Also these aren’t FTSE100 companies, these are small groups of like 3/4 people who spin off and have a few commercial clients.

Happy to see this. Unfortunately, the business community has completely abused these, with companies like Jimmy Johns requiring its minimum-wage employees to sign non-competes.

The US is so tight-lipped about its spy satellites, even the resolution of their images are classified, and it forces US commercial satellite operators to degrade image resolution as well. Maybe I'm wrong, but if it were trivial to do, then someone should launch a satellite imaging startup outside of US jurisdiction.
I guess? But that wasn't about the legality of "AI", or of training such against others copyrighted works, but merely the boring/old issue of establishing the copyright pedigree and usage rights of what is presumably (I haven't looked at it: I am just reading the comment <- edit: I have now checked, and while some third-party licenses are included in html/licenses.html, there in fact is no license on the code) a repository of code being maintained by people who are haphazardly pulling from random sources, accepting patches from random people, and who haven't even done the bare minimum of putting a license on their own code in the first place (making it, by default, unable to be used for almost any purpose). It frankly just seems like you are knee-jerking a response to something you have a pet peeve about even when it isn't there :(.

Yes I think it's fair to say it's a programmable system, because it can be extended significantly by either packages or your own local lisp setup.

I think org-mode could easily be used to maintain a collection of notes, whether in one large file or multiple small ones. (That's an obvious example of how no workflow is mandated - people make different choices on that, and use org-refile to move things between files too.)

I've seen android "viewers", but since they require having the file(s) on your PC and your phone they get a bit horrid - using dropbox to sync, or similar. For that reason I've never used them.
> Why not come up with better projects for said staff that help the company?

If you can think of better projects, you can become their competitor and hire their staff away.
I've been using ChatGPT to help with a variety of work-related tasks and it's most helpful to use it to generate a first draft, or a set of written options, from which various edits and revisions are made manually until a final product is completed.

Although the conference says you're allowed to use ChatGPT for grammar checking and editing, the process I describe works in reverse - ChatGPT comes up with the base of the text and the human edits.

If such a process were to be used to write a paper, or anything else, it seems to me it would be extremely difficult to even know it was "written" by AI and this process eliminates the risk of the AI making basic mistakes as the content is edited and approved by a human.

> Do you understand why making such proclamations about other's lifestyles is authoritarian?

No, I don't. I don't say people shouldn't own a car. I say people shouldn't need to. Please explain how that's authoritarian.

And please stop calling me authoritarian and arrogant just because you disagree with my views..

> Also, it's not so reasonable to declare others "authoritarian" because of the detection of an externality. Unless, one has nominated one's self as a superior arbiter of truth. If you are equal, then it's up to you to convince others.

No, the base case is no cars. The authoritarian view is to demand everyone else has to bend to your will. Children playing outside my house? No, they can't, stcredzero has decided that should be a high speed road for their car. Want to enjoy a peaceful evening? No, stcredzero has overruled you and decided their engine sound is more important. Want to eat outside at a restaurant? No, stcredzero has decided that space is for storing their metal box.

Who is really the authoritarian?
The same people who think this is a good idea are bound to think that banning VPNs (to save the children) is also a good idea.

Read the text messages (different lawsuit) between musk and prominent (imho) Oxford philosopher William McAskill. Musk is asked repeatedly to meet and take money from this brillian guy called SBF. It’s weird bc I read wills book and really looked up to him, but clearly SBF can be very convincing. Elon seemed to not want to do it but the text messages suggest he did eventually take a call.

So Elon must not have liked how that went since he was publicly encouraging others to roll over.

My speculation of course.
THIS!

It is critical to be aware of the surrounding traffic, and recognizing the driving style — the wheel angle and the current balance/attitude of the cars — is critical to understanding what they'll do next.

Just one example a while ago in traffic on a highway, I slowed a bit and moved to the other side of my lane, barely thinking about it. Seconds later the car on my left suddenly drifted into my lane, right where we would have been and only feet off my front bumper. My wife exclaimed "How did you know that was going to happen?!?", and I said I'd just noticed in the corner of my vision an odd wiggle in their front wheel, like the driver's attention or direction was off.

Sussing out what a driver is doing with any intersection, regardless of their signals, is key. Are they actually setting up to turn or stop, or just going along ignorantly?

So far, I haven't yet noticed anything big from Teslas, but although I've done a lot less driving since COVID, I still have noticed that their road positions and attitudes are, ummm unique. But really good to know about this fake-move towards the exit lane — very helpful — Thanks!
I said in another comment I pay for some services too, but if my online experience have taught me anything is that I can't trust them to be around, or be good forever.
