Vaccines don’t have long term side effects. They have short term side effects.

Looking at the Reddit thread about this, there was some arguably racist stuff going on in his repo which could've been related to this suspension. I'm not sure whether this is the right way to handle such things (banning those specific repo's might be better), but it would be somewhat understandable.
Good to know I’m not a musician even though I play two different instruments 3-4 hours a week each.

I hate playing with others and stick with jam tracks for accompaniment. I never play in front of others either. Super awkward.

I do occasionally put a recording on YouTube, but the listens are never more than a dozen per year, and I don’t promote it ever. Not sure how I get the listens that I do get.

Not sure what it is I’m doing, but apparently it’s not making music. I do love what I do, and find the craftsmanship and technique as pleasurable as any video game.
They are just really neat birds! Try watching them sometime, they give the impression of listening to a guest speaker at a conference and it is really funny.
Indeed. A person can be bad at math, but really good on play musical instruments or to guide himself through a unknown city. That requires a certain level of intelligence. But I think there's no human that is intelligent on every aspect, maybe some exceptions like Da Vinci, but most people are good at some tasks while other people doesn't. The human intelligence seems to be distributed throughout the population. This creates an illusion that human intelligence is general.
I think this has more to do with scripting nature of the language than its syntax itself - at least I always found the best/easiest environments to use in practice to be the ones that:

1) executed in a clear, top-down fashion, allowing to write code top-level, without wrapping it in functions and calling from an explicit entry point like main();

2) interfaced directly with the useful APIs, vs. having to manage libraries and namespaces;

3) interpreted directly from the source file, as opposed to having first run a compiler or other explicit, artifact-producing step;

Basically, languages that would let me just write minimum amount of code to solve, through trial and error and experimentation, my simple problems.

I believe this is where some Lisp language would shine, if not for the fact that you have to press SHIFT to enter parentheses... I suspect this is a large reason people ended up preferring scripting languages with punctuation that can mostly be entered without modifier keys.

"Built exclusively for iPhone and iPad"

Doesn't sound like it.
I assume this is "Lightroom" and not "Lightroom Classic" (both of which are available via Adobe CC, but Classic is offline, whilst the other was always full-cloud).

Historically I've used Lightroom Classic, but I've always been worried about Adobe killing it off one day.

I think I might go back to Phaseone Capture One[1]. I tried it a while ago and found it pretty decent, despite the name its not just for Phaseone camera users.

> Disagree. People genuinely enjoy those foods, because they're tasty and flavorful. And there's zero reason to believe that they're substantially unhealthy

I mean, there are responsible/functioning heroin users, it doesn't mean heroin is safe for everyone

> If we can cure obesity

Or you know, practice self control, which is easily in the top 3 of good traits to have and practice. But that's only a part of the equation, the other being the food industry abusing our monkey brains by adding all kind of additives to their food to trigger the right pathways so that we keep consuming their products.

I for one am happy that I escaped this hellish cycle and mostly consume fresh products, but I completely understand how people get tricked into eating heavily processed food and basically slowly sabotage their whole body

> Humans obviously value tasty and flavorful food, and its existence adds joy to people's lives.

We also enjoy all kind of things that cause harm to ourselves or others, this is an extremely weak argument, maybe the weakest of all concerning that topic
Off topic: I am looking for the hardware programing manual of Zen IOMMU (to map bus address to physical address), I cannot find it or what???
I'm not sure how I feel about the quality of this. It... drones. The samples are really bad. It's not that the voices sound robotic. The reading is boring. If this was tested on me without prior knowledge, I'd say "not sure if human or not. But it's a bad reading either way".

Edit: Adding a few more details to my thoughts to say why it's boring. Good narration is so much more than correct pauses. Pacing. Emotion around words like death and life. Ensuring that sentences don't repeatedly end on the same inflection tone. Modulation of rhythm. None of that is there.

The last time I ran into this was when a known person started a youtube channel where they put together the script and the video and then used an AI to narrate the script. I assumed it was an AI because I figured that's how said acquaintance would have managed the budget. But it was incredibly tedious to listen to. You can see this in work here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWVvmKpCBDg). Has the same feel of the Apple digital narration. I don't know how I could listen to that easily for over an hour.
Can you elaborate on that? I'm not that familiar with OKR.
Reading that thead, https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/103upr6/co... says the user could have been banned for racism. We're not talking subtle stuff, either.
> That sounds silly but does nobody find it at all odd that every fomc rate decision is entirely arbitrary whether they go 25, 50, 75 or more and yet cnbc predicts the exact rate decision every time?

That's because the Fed communicates what their next steps are likely to be beforehand. And if circumstances change and predictions are no longer correct, the Fed leaks information before their meeting to make them correct. That's what happened with the first 75 hike in this cycle.

The same way we'd speak about PLAB: runet is different. I don't know why, maybe it's the language barrier and relying on google translate is enough of a resistance so the english-speaking masses go elsewhere.
That policy does not doom anything. wlroots does not accept driver bug hacks for any driver, and is merely consistent in that regard. It works for others, so it can work for Nvidia. Things will just always move slow as long as Nvidia are the only ones that can fix bugs.

Maybe it will be better one day: They are (also slowly) moving in the right direction though, and nouveau might be revived by taking some bits from their new (barebone) kernel driver. But until then, swear your allegiance to the GPU vendors that play nice.
I hope github would start allowing all users to use ip whitelisting features. I understand it is a sell point for enterprise accounts, but tokens/passwords are not secure enough in today's environment.
> shoves the responsibility for finding parallelism onto the human or compiler, both of which can, presumably, take a more global view of the problem than a piece of silicon can.

I think the big lesson since, well, the LISP machine is that this doesn't really work. What does work is letting the programming languages evolve driven by user needs and back-filling technology to achieve the desired performance.

The average user performance experience on a webpage is standing on the shoulders of a lot of giants, and any performance increase that relies on climbing all the way down and then back up a different stack simply isn't going to get delivered. What people want is faster sequential execution at almost any cost.

There's also an important detail that the language can only know about instruction ordering statically, while the CPU can reorder instructions at runtime depending on exactly what's ready.
And neither is good enough.

IMO the best alternative for Lightroom is Capture One.
It's totally general in the sense that we can logically approach arbitrary problem types and there is nothing known that we can't approach with our tools of intelligence, so to speak.

That doesn't necessarily mean that we are actually good at solving those problems or that there isn't an upper level of difficulty that we will just not be able to solve practically, but we are definitely able to approach all classes of problems in general.

By contrast, a chess ai can't do anything but solve for chess states. A diffusion NN can't do anything but create images, or something that is mathematically analogous.

We can in principle do anything any conceivable specialized AI can do, even if a lot slower or error prone. Therefor, we have general intelligence.

> Science uses induction as a measure

No, it doesn't. This is a common misconception, but it is 100% wrong. Science is the business of finding the best explanations that account for all observations.

One of the consequences of this methodology is that it turns out that all known observable phenomena can be described by fairly simple mathematical laws that appear to remain constant over time. But science does not assume this.

> What does human-level intelligence mean?

What about a simple test: it means being able to create better versions of ChatGPT and StableDiffusion.

Can an AI create a better version of itself, all by itself?

Because humans are going to create better versions of ChatGPT.

So no matter the exact definition of "intelligence" or "human intelligence", the goal is simple: create a better version of itself and it'll be considered intelligent.

Can't do that? It's simply not matching human-level intelligence.

So I don't see how intelligent machines wouldn't lead to "intelligence explosion" and the "technological singularity".
Brake horsepower is the power at the output of the engine. It's called that because it is measured with a brake dynamometer. Wheel horsepower or wheel brake horsepower (same thing) is measured after mechanical losses (at the wheels).

But "they aren't looking, why don't they just.." really rubs me the wrong way. Surely these people are experts in their own field and know what's available. After all, they are ordering trucks from a vendor, not designing trucks to their own unique requirements. Plus these Mack trucks indeed already have regenerative braking.
> A possible reason are the apparently racist game mods he'd also been creating on the same account, including removing any non-white characters from Rimworld and a mod called 'peaceful protests' which is seemingly criticizing the valid upset about George Floyd's murder by the state.
This is achievable with a very modest (say 50-100k) budget for voice actors and compute. Less if you’re happier with lower quality. Speech synthesis is probably one of the few areas in ML that’s trivially accessible to smaller orgs.

Even Stable Diffusion was only 600k which is hardly outside the reach of a startup. The only ridiculously expensive models reserved for the big end of town are the GPT3 etc language models, and I fully expect the data/compute requirements to come down considerably in the near future.
They likely published it as soon as they could and translations will be a couple of days behind. Other blog posts will be pre-planned and pre-translated. The noindex on non-us versions is probably also related to it not being fully translated. Check in a few days to see if I'm right
Meh. I’ve worked in SF in another big tech corp. I know the demographics. I know many of those that are on H1Bs and as I said I’ve been myself. I also knew people at Twitter.

Your options are limited.

If you can prove lying, which may include exaggeration, you must terminate them. No exceptions.

If you cannot prove it there is no immediate action to take.

This sounds like an issue of expectation management where you expected to achieve some results from a candidate but actually results differ. In that case the problem is a communication problem that could be from candidate deception but may as likely be your fault as well. It’s impossible to say without further details.

Having a Rimworld mod that removes black characters is not enough to warrant a platform ban, in my opinion.
Naturalism could demonstrate the existence of things that today are called supernatural. Ghosts. Demons. Deities. All of these things could be demonstrated naturalistically if they were observable. In that case they would no longer be "supernatural" but they would still be qualitatively different from what is today understood to be "natural phenomena".

The problem is more that "public domain" is a concept that is not universally accepted in a legal sense, examples are Europe and in particular Germany. Case in point, Sqlite had to come up with a license agreement to make it usable for companies in those countries.
I'm not exactly skinny as I have some muscle mass, still I'm pretty thin. I do not have to think about restricting calories and I'm still that way. I do not like to eat much sweets, I preferred a schnitzel since I was a child, so that's one thing. But sometimes I get a huge hunger when I feel my body trembling.

I do think that if there would be famine I would just die. I also don't think it would be good for me to restrict caloric intake. There are certainly ways to make my diet healthier, but caloric restriction is not it.
The potassium salt is sold for curing meat from a fair few somewhat specialist providers in kilogram amounts, or in small bags from a fair few shops catering to Eastern Europeans.

Ask HN: Did anyone notice an increase in hacking attempts during the holidays?
I just saw the Slack private Github repositories being accessed over the holidays.

For some of our clients and for us, I noticed that late afternoon GMT of the 24th, traffic shot up across the board with strange requests. I didn't really look at first, but soon I got an alert that one site was responding slow, so I checked (happy Christmas eve for me!) and found around 1000 IPs, coming from Azure, AWS, Alibaba and Tor trying to access and download information from the site.

It was not just a random attack; the bots had information about the site and were trying to abuse it (they couldn't), at least it very much looked like that. The other sites I have checked myself were far more random. But there were many requests, so I decided to just switch the sites to CloudFlare 'Bot Fight' and that ended it completely within a few minutes.

The sites of our customers are not hosted on the same servers as ours and there isn't even a way to link them to us in any way. So I asked a friend and he has the same issues at the same times.

As a honeypot, I left a static site under attack and the traffic dropped almost to to normal somewhere during the morning of the 26th, so it seems that this was deliberately to get info during the time when people are celebrating?

If not for CloudFlare, what could I have done myself? What are the ways other people use?

For this particular site (which got the most traffic and suffered a bit because of it), it was not hosted at a cloud provider, but if this would've been on AWS, I could've had a massive RDS or Lambda bill even before I would manage to stop it. Let alone people who don't stop it (a friend didn't stop an attack a few months ago on AWS and their bill was almost 100x higher than normal and their product was down).

I ran larger hosting setups before (millions of dynamic consumer (not b2b) sites) and I simply used rate limiting, or rather, rate killing; find anomalies (basically IP addresses I had never seen suddenly requesting far too many resources from a particular site that normally gets only a fraction of those request over it's lifetime) across server logs automatically and block those IPs (on the hardware firewalls). For consumer sites that's mostly fine and the user would see the blocked ip + reason in their panel and could onblock them (which didn't happen a lot), but for B2B sites I am a bit more careful with that. There are people like me who click around and submit fast and get rate limited while not being bots (like on HN where I often do things too fast).

To Dear Google Play Team,
We develop apps almost 5 years, yesterday we recieved a Violation of Trademark Infringement policy notice for one our app using similer type of logo, also attached a Trademark Registration Number in India, after searching this number, we see that the trademark not approved and registered yet, also there is no logo available there, then how google passed the notice? That means any one wish to send a DMCA and google will accecpt this! We know google recieved lots of DMCA notice every day! We request you please send any notice before check its valid or not.
Thanks
"Community" means different things to different people. Your definition seems to include every human on earth, I don't.

> This is like setting up a premium subscription library to keep poor people out

No, it's not. The content is still redistributed to the public trackers. It just avoids the American idea that public libraries should also be homeless shelters.

> Tagging and removal of duplicates can be done without making a tracker private.

You'd have to massively increase moderation, and you'd constantly remove and change torrents which would disrupt the swarm. It's not useful.

I disagree with both reasons.

1. A long pause between "places" and "wild", to me, signals their dis-association, that "wild" does not link with "places". However, the lack of punctuation in the written text implies the phrase "all places wild", the "all wild places" you refer to. I'm with the GP here, the AI didn't convey the meaning I'd expect from the text.

2. Also, the preceding text seems to discuss a certain "ineffability", a spiritual/magic in the world that seems diffuse, broad and subtle. With that context, pronouncing "wild" calmly and softly ties it to the earlier ineffability rather than the more discrete "places". Again, this reinforces the "...places. Wild!" interpretation. I am very impressed the AI used two or more modes of expression (time, tone) to express a feeling... but I disagree that's what the text held.

Maybe the AI's smarter than me.
Not from the companies selling audiobooks IMHO.

They will use this technology to save money on human speakers. If they release it into the public domain we'll end up with ebooks that can read themselves aloud and they'll lose part of the incomes from audio books.

My Samsung phone can read ebooks with one of Samsung's voices right now, but it does an awful job at pauses.
Basically, no commas. With a good voice I could turn each one of my ebooks in an audiobook.
