I stopped going to the gym for exercise after I realised it was just making me more depressed. Why? Because the gym would be filled with scantily clad, disgustingly beautiful, sweaty women and men, and I suddenly feel like I'm watching a mainstream porno being fed unrealistic body ideals and that turns to more self loathing. So I started restricting all my exercise to nature trails, preferly with lots of incline and decline in alternation for an interval effect, and preferably an uneven path filled with roots, to get sort of a parkour thing going. Nature is so peaceful and soothing in contrast to suburbia, and it's fantastic exercise.

I drop by the store for a protein bar before heading home and suddenly I'm the alpha in the room, dousing these poor shoppers in my manly musk and showing off how active I am, flirting a little with the cashier maybe, brain swimming in adrenaline. And then it's actually building confidence moment by moment instead of tearing it down.

Food for thought for anyone like me who loathes the gym and still is looking for good exercise.

You perfectly understand what "passive-aggressive" means. Just don't go around patronizing people like that, nobody died and made you god.
That might be true if there were millions of people practicing a school of Christianity based on only what Jesus taught. As far as I know, there isn't, and isn't even a school based on that. Aside from that, what's described in the article is purely a western phenomenon that has emerged mostly in the last 20 years. It's arrogant (op) to pretend that that is Buddhism. They were in simultaneously critiquing it and participating in it.

Ask HN: An increase in discussions about incentives?
Hey HN. I have noticed that there is an increase in HN discussions that discusses things from a financial incentive perspective. It seems to occur especially often when it comes to discussions about anything done by Big Tech, such as Google or Apple. For example:

A submission is about Google product X has bug Y. Instead of a technical discussion on how bug Y could have happened or it could have been prevented, I noticed that a lot of comments would revolve around how bug Y doesn't affect product X badly enough and how product X doesn't contribute directly to Google's ads revenue, so Google has no incentive to fix it and therefore Google doesn't care about bug Y.

Or maybe Apple product Z has bug W. Then there would be discussions on how product Z doesn't contribute to iPhone sales or even when it does bug W is not serious enough to reduce iPhone sales, ergo Apple doesn't care about fixing bug W.

This type of reasoning is very reductive, and while not wrong per se, does not seem to be very interesting. You can categorically say the same thing about everything Google or Apple does. Same for other companies. I don't mind being reminded of a company's main revenue stream but I thought I've seen too many of those lately and they are getting a bit repetitive. When a submitter submits bug Y and bug W, presumably they want a discussion on the specifics of those bugs, rather than a generic assertion on how Google or Apple doesn't care and HN can feel good vilifying those companies.

Am I speaking for the community here? Do you also echo this sentiment?

People adopting specific jargon (random, cloud, quantum) without understanding in order to try to pretend to belong. Sigh. Humans are complex.

Worst example to me is the common use of the “ugly American” — in the book, he was the good guy who got out there and got dirty, as opposed to the pampered ones who stayed in the green zone, didn’t know any locals, and assumed everything in whatever country they were in was the same as in the ol’ USA, but just broken or corrupt.

I’m not American but I always cringe when I hear this usage. Why do people have to hollow out metaphors, destroying language in the process?
Git always seems to be explained terribly, and I wonder why that is.

To me it feels straightforward now but I graduated the route of rcs->cvs->svn->git.

I think people get tripped up by the multiple layers there are between remote and local repositories. Remote->fetch->pull brings data to you. Save->add->commit->push sends it back. Then there's branches to add another layer of safety.

Git being difficult is a "hilarious" meme just like exiting Vim, or writing c++. Unfortunately people hear that and have given up trying to understand it before they've even tried.

Our building has a different scheme where you summon the elevator by telling it which floor you want to go, and there are no controls inside the elevator to set the destination. This supposedly enables better scheduling of elevators.
> Unless laws are passed to make filming others in public, this is unlikely to ever stop.

Assuming you mean the USA, the problem is you need people to enforce those laws or succeed with lawsuits (and dodge endless appeals or ascension to the SCOTUS). We can't even begin address gun violence in this country, I highly doubt we'll get consent-to-be-filmed-in-public-laws passed.
I think you need to revisit your proof. Human intelligence is more complicated than that. It is not using encoding in the way you are claiming or if it is this is such a bizarre concept that it requires evidence. We don’t really understand how humans think but experientially it is a phenomena that is more complicated than a process that follows from a small set of simple rules.
True yes, kinda.

Legal, is more complicated and likely needs to be decided in court. There is a non-small chance that original OGL license is in no way terminated and people can continue to distribute copyright content under it. Through trademarks can be another issue. And being in right doesn't mean you are not sued or otherwise terrorized by an abuse of the legal system. E.g. see non-Lego brick products which are legal but frequently e.g. stuck in customs due to Lego abusing the legal system. Not even speaking about the 3D trademark nonsense which makes selling compatible figures close to impossible even through the law is very very clearly not meant to be apply that way.

Free Og:Image Generator build in React
Hey! Been lurking here for a while, but first time posting anything. A few days ago I started creating this Open Graph image generator (for those who don't know it's the image you see when posting links on social media).

Would really like feedback on how I could improve it. It's built using Next.js. You can modify add your image (plus zoom & drag), change font size, change fonts, pick default colors, as well as save/load a "theme" by right clicking on image. The themes at the moment are alright, but plan on adding better ones soon.

Here's the link to try it out (better experience on desktop/laptop) -> https://www.nicopellerin.io/tools/og-image-generator
how about when Tesla can survive off of the margins from ops without growth and without bilking its customer for vapor ware?

How about when they come out with a new body and chassis? When they go through a re-tooling cycle or two?

And again, let’s seem then make it through a full business cycle, because again, no company founded since 2001 knows that it’s like to run a company in a no growth or shrinking economy…
Rewording “too easily” would inevitably lead to someone accidentally rewording a commit on a shared branch (such as main/master).

What I want in a git gui is first and foremost the fundamentals of my workflow built into the tool.

What patterns for branch names means they are private? Or short lived? Or forked but never merged back? This should control e.g how a graph is drawn (you don’t bend the main branch etc) or how branch pruning is done.

If I push a feature branch, later it’s merged on a server using a as squash commit and deleted remotely, then there is no way to say it should be deleted locally because there is no merge commit. This means something is missing. Either the knowledge of deleted branches should be communicated. Or the record that the branch was pushed to the central repo but is since deleted there must be saved. And this requires also specifying clearly that a remote is the source of truth. Git just doesn’t care. The remote list is basically a map of names to urls. No name is more special than another, just like no branch names are really special. And while flexible, it’s also extremely limiting.
One doesn’t have to claim it is beyond physics, but no one has shown it can be simulated by a Turing machine.
Some solar companies did well this year. I’m sure some ETFs claim to try to basket this tech, but I personally think those will always miss the big winners, turn into an AARK with a few good years followed by steep losses, or just do less than the market index anyway. I think I might use a small % of my bankroll, choose a few favorites and do my own basket after getting some ideas from a list of what professionals are buying, use a long holding timeframe and try to hit a big winner.

>> I'm working on a game, but I want to hire an artist who has never even seen another piece of art from another artist so we can come up with a totally original style.

Is this sarcasm? The history of art is full of artists who created their own, signature, unique and original styles. Take, I don't know, Vincent Van Gogh, for an example, who had a very distinctive style, so distinctive that he didn't even start a school of art probably because it would have been too blatant to copy him. There was nobody before him who painted like him. Who did he "copy" then?

Hell, when humans first made art, back in the time we lived in caves, their art styles, which are still absolutely unique, had nothing to copy from, simply because there weren't any artists before them (by definition: "when humans first made art").

So, yes, humans learn how to create art from each other, but they also created the whole idea of art entirely on their own, and they can take what they have learned form others and turn it into something completely new, never before seen.

Now, you show me an original art style created by an "AI". Show me AI art that isn't only borrowing and copying, but goes beyond that, like human artists can.
I think of scrum as a way to get work done under little to no established trust between leadership and ICs.

As with almost all "Kotlin features" this is a direct rip off from Scala, where the signature would look almost identical (besides the fun keyword).

I think it’s interesting how software has longevity expectations from some customers that physical products don’t have.

How long is a dinner or drinks supposed to last before you buy another one?

How long is your house supposed to last before you need to make repairs?

How long is gasoline supposed to last before you buy more?

Vacation? Movie tickets? Hotel rooms? Flights? Appliances? Clothes? Shoes? Furniture? Maybe ~10% of the things we buy can be “buy it for life” items.

It seems like a lot of people want more longevity out of software than simple physical objects.

Smartphones weren’t exactly mature 7-10 years ago and we all knew that. If it were me I’d just accept that I spent $1000 on software and got something out of it for the time being.

Life is full of things that are fleeting.
GPLv3 does, but GPLv2 has basically the same language as the OGL v1.0a in terms of the revocability, share-alike nature and "or later" clause, just with GNU replaced by Wizards and software references like the distinction between source and binary removed (in fact, it seems likely the OGL just copied GPLv2)

Apache prior to 2.0, all versions of MIT or BSD also do not go out of their way to be irrevocable.

I think it works the same whether it is a small company or an empire. The key is the bureaucracy to worker ratio. You need just enough bureaucracy to glue things together. But anything more than that starts being counter productive.

In my examples the productive company had a bureaucracy/staff ratio of close to 0. The dysfunctional company had a bureaucracy/staff ratio of more than 2. Enough said.

This would be no-problem if cities built more houses (especially large apartment blocks) ... well, and outlaw airbnb.

I live in a former socialist country that somehow managed to build A LOT of housing in the 70s and 80s, with shitty equipment, but somehow cannot build anything in the last few decades. And not just the government building stuff... normal people could buy a plot of land, get their friends to help, dig a hole and start building... a small loan for bricks and cement, and the basement + a concrete slab was built... then a month or two went buy, and what was left from the paychecks went for a pallet of bricks plus a few bags of cement, and half a floor was made. Repeat for a few years and a house was there... no insulation or a facade, but people could live inside and deal with that later. Papers and permits? As long as you built within some basic rules (far away from the property line and not a too unusual shape), you could basically ignore them, and deal with the "legalization" later. Now you're not allowed to build basically anywhere, papers cost more than the whole material+work did back then, and you're not allowed to do anything by yourself and your friends are not allowed to help anymore. So yeah... good luck.
I don't _think_ yet, publicly -- as far as time/location of sighting records. I would assume that national security police forces have it though... perhaps still secretly in the US? It is known that Chinese security police have it.

The rent, by the way, was more than half the purchase price.

I grew up in JoCo. My mom, though single, made it a point to rent the cheapest place in Johnson County because the schools were excellent. My sister and I benefited.

Having been in California for 26 years, I am back in the Midwaste. Kansas City has really done pretty good in the two-plus decades I have been absent. Tech made it here, there's money to be had. It's even become, like the rest of the U.S. I suppose, much more cosmopolitan. I expected to find the same Taco Tico "Mexican" restaurants I grew up with, the Chinese buffet (with pizza in case the kids don't like General Chicken) — and that would be too bad since I had come to like bulgogi, Chinese dumplings, "street tacos", sushi. There aren't exactly boba-tea places in every strip mall but you can find some of that here now.

To be sure though when I mention having come from California there are people I have met here that have made an offhand comment about the "homeless" or the legal marijuana (you know, as a bad thing) or whatever. A real estate agent assumed we we must have moved from California to get away from all that — to get back to "The Good Life".

I've worked in a couple of modern buildings in Australia that also feature this. While it's great for people that work in the building, you'd often see visitors get in the left, turn to look at the buttons and stop with their arm in mid air. By this point the doors have closed and they're whisked off on their mystical journey.

It means that in the end, maintaining duplicated assembly code paths for different ISAs would have been cheaper and much easier than the absurdely complex linux+gcc(or clang) duo. And I could bet than some code paths could be kept in simple and plain C (compiling with _not_ only gcc/clang) without that much loss of performance.

All that is a very strong case for RISC-V.

I can see where you're coming from. Try coming from the opposite perspective, from the viewpoint of the countless millions who have had to hide themselves away from the world because society was so needlessly rigid, and too much deviation from the norm got them beat up or fired or otherwise ostracized. And then we get the fallout from that ostracization: anti-social behavior, drug abuse, suicide.

I'd rather live in a world where people can be complete fucking weirdos without any consequence, except when their weirdness directly harms other people.
Yeah, so specifically for Midjourney, but the others should have something similar:

0. Read the manual thoroughly, don’t speed read or skim.

1. Set the seed so that it’s only your prompt that changes while iterating on it “——seed **”

2. Set stylize to a low number “—-stylize 200”

3. Build the scene up by adding one part at a time (use a thesaurus to try out different words)

4. Weight the different prompt segments “SOME WORDS::10”, try to make the weights add up to 100% for easy math

5. Use negative weights to remove things you don’t want “BAD THING::-1”

6. Once you have zeroed in on a good prompt then increase the quality “—-quality 2”, try out different stylize values, and start rolling the seed many times.

7. Expect it to take 40+ iterations to get a good prompt and maybe another 20+ rolls to get a good seed. This can be less once you get good, or more if go for more advanced scenes. Your first few good images should take a few hours to get.
