Tech companies hate citing the actual TOS violations because if they did, people might follow them to the letter and then the tech company wouldn't have a justification to ban them. They love having a system where they can arbitrarily declare anything and anyone to be in violation of the terms of service and not have to back it up with an actual citation. Some on HN in that past have said this is ok because people who are bad can figure out ways to abide by the terms of service while also still being bad people, so the arbitrary nature of enforcement is a feature, not a bug.
The Precedent’s designer here. When I wrote my “for hire” ads, my bullet points were these:

· Typography-based design system with Figma
· Robust CSS with Tailwind CSS
· Straightforward JavaScript with Alpine.js or Stimulus

I also noted that my preferred back-end language and framework were Ruby and Rails (on which Preceden is built).

So being clear, specific, and knowing some solid technologies and design/code tactics helped me find someone like Matt, who has been a very good collaborator these past few years.

It was posted on Haker News (Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?), Reddit (r/forhire
r/DesignJobs r/freelance_forhire), and Tailwind Discord.
None of those are under the `n` category, though.
GitHub will have removed this because they don't want to be seen hosting racist shit on their platform. They don't want that because as it turns out the vast majority of the population isn't on board with racism, so not doing so would empower their competitors, hurt their brand and affect their bottom line. It's the same with Disney (the "oh a black little mermaid!?" stuff) and all the other the other ultimately banal things that get people frothing at the mouth about corporations going "woke" - it's not a conspiracy, it's not about politics, it's simply bad business to appear welcoming to hateful or bigoted people.

That said, I personally think it should be difficult to be racist, homophobic, transphobic and the like online. I'm not engaging in debates, posting outraged tweetstorms or trying to get anyone doxxed/fired/cancelled when I see some anonymous edgelord throwing the n-bomb around or calling for LGBTQ+ friends to be killed. I'm just going to quietly report the post and move on.
Yeah. Did some digging, apparently the user stated that "n and c are no comment" [1]. From context its not clear whether they don't want to comment, or if the characters literally stand for "no comment". But to me it seems the former: it appears it's not necessarily about the author, but what the art depicts. C seems to be children.

Lucasfilms licensed James Earl Jones iconic voice in perpetuity when he retired from acting (come on there is only ONE Darth Vader voice) - no doubt he and his estate in the future will get nice annual royalty cheques from Mr Mouse.

I wonder how this works with her ???.
It is extremely common for programmers to use short names while coding. I use "const r" a lot instead of "const results".

Do you think I'm doing that because I hate a group of people that are called a derogatory word that begins with r?
They are charging you to train AI on your data so that they can charge you even more later.
Exactly this. In germany we had a couple of scandals where somebody became a bestseller author by buying his own books and gifting them to everybody he meets in bulk. So he basically paid for his sales himself and was of course also able to claim a tax benefit for it.

Truth is not a democratic process and very hard to verify just by using data.
What community? What if the majority are racist? Does MS have an obligation to host racist or even undesirable content on github?

Some of their Jukeboxes have great sound quality and character. I still have a Muvo^2 (Square) which has a very nice character of its own.

Their Gigaworks speakers also very nice. I have their T20 series II and it's sound stage is amazing for its size.

I have used their Live!, Audigy and Audigy2 ZS cards, which were sounded nice for their time. However, I still won't forgive them for being strictly Windows only and refusing to cooperate with Linux explicitly.

I now have an Asus Xonar D2X, and this thing sings, and it has native Linux support.
Creative Technology shares jumped[0] by 25% after the news. Can anybody share more on the reasoning? Was he being seen as a founder who was holding the company back?

Things like this are the main reason I went to Linux for everything except certain games, and locally installed open source for office and photo post processing.

I really miss the days of locally installed OS's, local software suites, when you did not need online accounts and cloud computing for the most mundane tasks. And I really hope those days will come back, or at the very least things like Ubuntu, LibreOffice and Darktable will stick around for quite a while.

Funny thing so, the old versions of lightroom and photoshop, the offline ones, still work perfectly fine under Win 10. So if you have a license key I don't see how Adobe could kill those.
Using GitHub is a privilege, not a right

You should do your business elsewhere if you don't agree with GitHub TOS
Those other "damning" examples are still idiotic and misguided.
TL/DR he made a "white only", "black only" and "yellow only" mods for NPCs in some game and somebody apparently misinterpreted a tag in an artists list file.
Don’t forget that if you see something in the archeological record that you can’t comprehend, there is always a reasonable explanation: it’s ritualistic woo-woo.

I'm not an expert on this, but I don't think the dimensions and aspect ratio would work with that? I do mean that the input device has a 4K connection to the TV. Like you mentioned, interpolation (upsampling) needs to happen. It depends on the algorithms or hardware chips used, but it's been pretty noticeable for me. I was trying to imply that it might be worth keeping a 1080p display/TV depending on what type of content you want to watch. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to get a 4K display if all the content you watch is in 1080p.
I'm reminded of the quote:

I have one word to partially explain this: Costco

Or to elaborate:
Recession => price sensitivity => costco

Until a few months ago my first impulse was to just order everything from Amazon. Now instead my first impulse is to see if it’s available at Costco, and if it is, it’s likely to be at a significantly lower unit cost.
Of course is is a feature to them. This is honestly like being in an abusive relationship where you never know if you're going to get praised or beaten up, so you always have to be on high alert.

But we should not be okay with them doing that.
I’m unsure of the quality of the hardware encoder for snapdragon. Intel QSV had noticeable changes and Nvidia’s nvenc is the worst.
Using multiple parens around a name is derogatory code for "this person is Jewish". Context is important.
If can cope with the totally different workflow, Darktable is working really well as well. AT least from what I can tell lookin at the same RAW files being post-processed by me using Darktable and my dad using Lightroom / Photoshop.

It is really good so, that there are alternatives to Adobe out there.
I think the main problem here is that people are enjoying the witch hunt too much, and this prevents them from weighting up alternative explanations that aren't as dramatic.

My first assumption on encountering a table field with a standalone "n" would be that it's an abbreviation of "no". So I'm surprised people are assuming so strongly here that this is instead code for a racist word. This is quite a harsh accusation, given the lack of evidence.

It will be quite embarrassing all round if this just turns out to be a run-of-the-mill copyright strike, or similar.
Hi folks. Thanks to akkartik for posting this and thanks to everybody who took a look. I do apologize that documentation is so scarce and scattered. To go a bit deeper, for hacker types I recommend https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/9802 as a fast and readable high level Q&A.
The material proof of the allegations are so tenuous at this point that I'm way more concerned about...well, that we are about to ban the letter 'n' because it ca_ be i_terpreted as racist.

For what is worth, I thi_k we should all grow a thicker ski_ a_d be ready to defe_d the thi_gs that matter, like our right to express freely without havi_g to watch our words for the _ext time somebody somewhere may take offe_se with what we say.
Carbohydrates, fat and protein are the 3 main classes of molecules humans need to survive. Sugar is simply a fast absorbed carbohydrate, glucose is basically the very thing that keeps us alive 99% of the time. We are literally build around glucose. Marking it as "addictive" and without nutritional value is idiotic.
A choice of a particular diet high in sugar can have negative affects, but guess what, you can chose a different diet and stop being obese instead of asking for one of the most important nutrients that exist to be banned.
The question is a bit unclear. But I'll have a go anyway.

When a contractor says the did "abc for company xyz". You can always ring up xyz and ask for a confirmation that the person did work for them and delivered abc to their satisfaction.

When managing contractors, I give them clear specifications of what is required and what deliverables are expected and when. If they fail to deliver, then it's the end for them.

Looking at another industry, e.g. home builders, you give the builder a set of drawings, specifications and that is what you manage their contract to.

Many IT projects there's only a vague definition of what is required and the contractor is expected to somehow workout what the requirements are, design and then implement a solution. The only way that is possible is for the contractor to have a great deal of experience in the client's industry and typical requirements.
I sort of agree. There is a lot of pointless cultist behavior around music.

For example: concerts. Music delivered in concerts is technically in every way worse then recorded. People are going to concerts to listen to music that is technically worse in every way. What this tells me and should tell you is that most people aren't only liking the music. There's a bunch of stuff around the music that they like, and the music itself is but one factor.

Additionally all music has very very common themes. If lyrics are involved the, lyrics tend to be revolved around Love or Power or Tragedy. This pattern of common themes indicates that music is biased biologically. It's used for very specific purposes in human biology, it is not some universal art form like say painting.

Another thing is that lyrics are horrible at conveying a point. Written text or normal speech is better yet tons of people are irrationally totally into lyrics that are "deep". Try writing a song about the point I'm conveying here and you'll see that it misses the point of music. The point of music is definitely not in communicating deep or complex messages. The point is to convey stupidly simple messages. Literally. All lyrics/poetry convey significantly more simple and stupider messages then plain text. You can't argue with this logically.

My theory is this. Music in human biology is for several things:

-It's used as a mating call. (love songs)
-It's used to promote group closeness and confidence (concerts)
-It's used as a group mourning thing (singing at a funeral)
-It's used to project power (Rock songs Rap songs)

This is why it's bullshit. It's rarely just about the music itself and it's more about the emotions and behavior music promotes. We're all falling into typical biological tropes and mistaking it for beauty. You are designed to like music the same way we're all designed to like fucking.

There is a rather small group though that does appreciate music for it's intrinsic properties: The mathematicians (I'm not part of this group). The people who like the music purely because of the patterns. Some people like stuff like fugues. When I listened to Bachs fugue after reading GEB, it sounded like pure crap to my ears, and it didn't trigger any associated emotions with the bullet points I made above. I think these people are biologically wired differently. Most people won't like what they like... Either way, typically this group is into music that is closer to or is classical music.

But still the group above sometimes still goes to live performance symphonies and stuff like that, which tells me again that it's not purely the music they are liking.

I think they have proved beyond shadow of doubt that they are not
sourcehut has some pretty major ui stumbles IMO, particularly the unlinked nature of a project, eg: Get from https://git.sr.ht/~tsileo/microblog.pub to the ticket list. The ticket writing interface is pretty lackluster, mostly because its stuffed over the side and previewing shrinks the interface each time.

Pretty sure its an intentional, or at least a side effect, of the component nature of srht's codebase (afaik), where each part is a separate service. The rest is from its no/minimal-js design.

I don't make it, so I'm not saying it must be changed, but I find it annoying to use at best, and doubt I am alone. But they're probably not targeting me so ...

It's also pretty slow, not sure if it has global hosting.

I do very much appreciate that it doesn't try to gamify anything, I wish I could disable gh from tracking follows/stars/stats - I can greasemonkey them away but I still know they exist, which leaves me the temptation to check. Strictly a personal issue but it still exists.
You're amazing bro.
Playing advocate to your advocate: Then why have the category as n when all (?) others are full words or even multiple? And they are all in English, black comes to mind first for black.

Regarding the content: That would still be a questionable classification, but even more so for someone like "RETNA (Marquis Lewis)" who rarely ever seems to depict people.

All in all it’s very sketchy, though one could probably construct ways it’s not racist, and it might not even be racist, though I doubt it.
So (((disfigured feet))) in the linked prompt means the feet are Jewish, and it's not about increasing the term weight?

Thanks, I learned something new today.
I think UX is a heavy focus because most of these are B2C where UX matters more. Than again B2B solutions are probably more difficult to build with a smaller team.
uhh, that's what the old police sketch book systems were, just with "AI" and "technology" to launder the bias.
I am not talking about the current situation. I am saying that it should not be legal for companies to refuse to server a customer without giving a clear reason why they do so. Unless you think it would be fine, for example, for corporations to refuse serving minorities citing their TOS?
If it was the variable name for an array of famous autistic people, it might raise eyebrows, especially if coupled with other coincidences.

>It's not clear that training violates copyright.

Training a model essentially creates a derivative work from the input data. GPL licensed code requires keeping the same license for derivative work. BSD-style licenses at the very least require retaining the copyright statement.
It feels pretty clear to me that the trained model and code generated from it would have to adhere to the original license.

In a way ML is a bit like lossy compression. Would you think JPEG encoding and decoding an image strips the result of its original copyright?
Wow, that probably was contained within the US? Never heard of it.

Hate to nitpick, but is code really the #1 asset of most software companies?

if AWS/Amazon's entire source code were leaked tomorrow, how would competitors use it to their advantage?

Would it help Lyft at all if they gained access to Uber's source code? Probably not.

Is some startup going to be able to take Slack's source code and use it to build a competing service? Probably not, it would be easier to write the code from scratch and reverse engineer features.

Source code is definitely a company asset, but most companies wouldn't be incredibly damaged or threatened in any meaningful way if their source code were exposed... unless said source code exposes security flaws that are used for some attack on the service. But security through obscurity (e.g. keeping insecure code secret) is not a valid way to keep things secure.
Yeah MS was hot on COM back then. Even JScript was a COM object IIRC.

Agreed Netscape also introduced their own incompatibilities too, but Netscape didn’t have a desktop monopoly. Though I do agree that IE4 was actually a really good product. If I recall correctly even IE3 loaded pages quicker than Netscape Navigator 3.

I really wanted to like Netscape Communicator but it was hard to overlook just how sluggish it was compared to IE.

As for front end development, I mostly an sysadmin back then but I did have a few websites live (my first being publish in 1994). I even won in the JavaScript category of Planet Source Code (remember that place?) one month for a recreation of the Windows desktop using JS. But I much preferred writing desktop software to web pages (and I still don’t really enjoy frontend dev all that much even now)
Arse technica.
Creator? Sure. The user account maintaining and updating it? No. Racism is just one thing, there is a ton of other undesirable beahviors like cp, fascism, swatting, participating or supporting acts of violence against strangers without provocation, participating in a spam/phish/malware campaign, backdooring code the list goes on. You are still free to host your own git repo on your own servers.

The dude was pretty racist, good work by GH employees: https://web.archive.org/web/20221013110023/https://github.co...
There is https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en though I’m not sure where and how is it being used.
Even after gaining the context that triple parentheses are antisemitic, I thought it very unusual that someone would see identifying "detailed face" as Jewish to be racist.
This is what I said in the beginning, so I think we broadly agree.

> It's going to come as a surprise to many that it is only to be found in the individual. Not in countries, nor in religious groups, or in football teams, or political parties, or any form of collective endeavour. The meaning is inside.

Where you say:

> So... if a machine thinks it's sentient, will it be sentient?

I dispute the assumption you are making. A machine can't think. There is no sentience occurring, even if it appears on the outside that there is.

And also, while it is fair to assume that other creatures that look like you are similar to you, it is not a fair assumption to think all things, inanimate things, have the same degree of sentience as you experience.
I suspect most people have one or more hobbies. Not everything has to be about money.

https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0605024 gives a formal model of intelligence (achieving high reward in an agent/environment setup, across all computable environments weighted by their Kolmogorov complexity)

https://arxiv.org/abs/1109.5951 gives a computable approximation (dubbed AIQ, Algorithmic Intelligence Quotient), and a reference implementation using Brainfuck programs (personally I would prefer Binary Combinatory Logic or Binary Lambda Calculus ;) )
That's great advice for anyone not directly affected /s
Lead sheets are great, they are not dense and get the most important parts across.

For other uses, the density is the thing and it can't be replaced by anything. Sheet music has syntax and structure in a way that makes it possible to learn to read it by chunks, unlike let's say piano roll.
One of the things I like is when the narrator has to suppress a laugh during a funny passage, or can express a character's anger or frustration.

Until AI is so good that it can mimic emotion, I think there will be a market for human narrators. Of course it will be smaller than what it is now, but I think people will specialize.

The current small-independent-grant culture is flat. This means that all projects are small and there are is almost no hierarchical 'higher level' science. PIs are happy to publish minor descriptions of the clouds, and journals are happy to publish them , in lack of something more impressive. So much value is lost in creating processes and bureaucracy.

The focus is clearly on "getting the grant". And the grant acts as an entity in itself, as it becomes a line in the CV of scientists, which will help them "get the next grant". The outcome of the grant becomes thus irrelevant. Maybe competition is missing?

It almost seems as a new model would take the world by storm, but it doesnt seem to arise. Even private research often falls for the same pitfalls, like how Deepmind keeps seeking to publish proprietary research in Nature, instead of creating an open ecosystem that will drive reinforcement-learning science forward.

If it was opt-in, and creators would be compensated for the use of their work, it would be ok. As implemented it is just... well... on-brand for Adobe I guess.
I thought a lot about privacy while building this. Tbh nothing can be done to satisfy all the critics but I have tried to do all I can. That includes open sourcing the code and not having a database at all. It doesn't collect Metadata as well.
