Also he wasn't told which day was the hangover-free alcohol day (some weak attempt at making it 'scientific') but of course the first day was normal alcohol. So upon the second day he already knew it was hangover-free alcohol, making placebo effect more likely, and possibly changing his drinking habits (time before bed, hydration etc.).

It’s been more than a decade and it’s still not that cheap to short crypto. I am 100% convinced that’s by design. If you think equity is rigged, crypto is a complete circus. I rather not deal with it even if money can be made. It’s going to slam you at some point.
I saw a documentary about Kowloon Walled City. It was nightmarish.

> Kowloon Walled City was an ungoverned and densely populated de jure Imperial Chinese enclave within the boundaries of Kowloon City, British Hong Kong. Originally a Chinese military fort, the walled city became an enclave after the New Territories were leased to the United Kingdom by China in 1898. Its population increased dramatically following the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II. By 1990, the walled city contained 50,000 residents[1] within its 2.6-hectare (6.4-acre) borders.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City

Fortunately, it was razed. There's a nice park there now. I sure am glad we're not mice!

Between Kowloon and the Yukon there's a sweet spot of population density.
(Yukon is one of the least populated but still nice places on Earth. Fewer than ~45,000 people in ~450,000km².)

We have plenty of room on Earth. We could construct an artificial continent in the Pacific Ocean with a nice crinkly coastline and everyone could live at the beach.
What makes you come to the conclusion that they would "commit atrocities"? On the one hand there is constant and widespread violence perpetrated against the LGBTQ, on the other there are vague threats by a couple of anonymous accounts, and your conclusion is that "they aren't committing atrocities because they don't have the resources"? I find this comment really insensitive, to say the least.
I don't actually know what a jib is, but I like the cut of yours, sir!
The way I look at it - Its not a matter of if, its a matter of when. Even the die hard crypto bros know tether is nothing but a giant ponzi scheme.

> Is Islam at all compatible with secular values in the same country?

Yes it is. I don't know about Shariah law, but all muslims I know are just like anybody else. I think you're conflating some zealots with a large group of people who are mostly secular (just like lots of christians don't do anything christian besides celebrating Christmas and the occasional funeral at the church). The real issue here is some school administrators bending over because a fanatic complained.
My assumption is write code involving each one. It helps knowing enough about each to know which you want for a given task and why.
Jim Crow clauses were legal too.
They gave away 100% of some value... to a charity the company owners run. So they basically gave it to themselves and saved 20% on taxes.
Ask HN: post-factum announcement on privacy policy changes from Indiegogo
Long time listener, first time caller.

On January 8, I've received an email from the crowdfunding service Indiegogo about privacy policy changes.

Message's first paragraph reads as follows: "We’re writing to let you know that we’ve updated our Privacy Policy, effective January 1, 2023."

This was sent On January 8, 2023. The email has verifiable DKIM and DMARC signatures for "t.indiegogo.com" and was sent from SPF-allowed address space with the following Date header (included in and verified by DKIM):

Date: Sun, 08 Jan 2023 05:42:30 +0000

Since one of their "privacy requests" (you have to creep around their various domains and providers as they state that they don't accept GDPR-related requests via email) literally reads "do not sell my personal information", it's quite possible that since January 1 they have sold all their customers' data.

Thoughts?

Are you implying that the process of training the AI with images, which usually involves statistic models, is in any way similar to the process by which a human brain creates images? Or that the way people look up references is similar to the way AIs use images? Because if that's the case, I'm afraid you have a very odd idea of how these AIs function.

Otherwise, you have to agree that we're talking about apples and oranges here.

AIs don't get "inspiration". They get the source images they need to function. An AI also can't produce an output that's outside of the realm of their dataset.
I don't mind startups failing. I would prefer that startups fail. I would prefer big companies fail. It's healthy for companies to die.

Apple and Amazon are more of a vertical integration problem. They expand their market power by monopolizing the vertical supply chain.

Microsoft acquires companies to increase their market power. Skype, GitHub, LinkedIn, now Activision.

> Mastodon's big problem is that most instances have the same weird and exclusionary kneejerk culture you see from the Twitter weirdos.

Can confirm.

Just about a week ago I had an interaction with some schizoid user that started info-dumping on me via replies, while also claiming they hoped mastodon will be better at keeping the-people-they-didnt-like off the platform.

I briefly mentioned that's not how mastodon works (federation and stuff) and that there are some counter-measures available (with the ultimate weapon being de-federation) but they just wouldn't listen. "mastodon" had to keep the trolls away!

Needless to say, such user was very, very, VERY pushy. When I asked them to stop being so pushy, this user just blocked me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wonder if that user started claiming I was some kind of troll too.
Until you realize they’re dumb. I don’t think people are so naive that they’ll ignore clearly dumb robots that they work with every day.

I do think people will make those mistakes with robots they’re not that familiar with.

Many LaTeX tricks only get passed down from advisors to students, or from collaborators to collaborators. Rarely someone would look for how to improve their typesetting when all they want is to quickly communicate content.

It be nice if content and typesetting can be completely separated, where I just write content, and something (LaTeX, AI, some manual typesetter) does all the typesetting.

Also, should I be the one controlling how the reader consume my content? Maybe the reader prefers another font? Or the reader is viewing in a kindle so pdf page size should be different?

This would be impossible unless the reader have my LaTeX source code and compile it themselves. But it is super simple for epub, or html webpage (by modifying the css).
Everyone's focussing on the small fine but the bigger story here is it's Apple. They've gotten the reputation for being the user privacy company, for protecting you from ad companies like Google/Alphabet or Facebook. Turns out they're acting like another invasive ad company themselves. The fine may not be big but the symbolism of it is.
Or so is the framing that the founder uses!
If you like start-ups you don't take away one of the greatest motivations to create them: the possibility of getting acquired.

If you love competition you don't take away the ability of the biggest players to enter "hard" markets and disrupt large entrenched incumbents.

And if you are in favor of both startups and competition you fight government regulations which corrupt markets, protects incumbents and grants monopolies.
Indeed, and I think we can make a couple of specific responses to the passage you quote.

The first thing is that if selection of a specific behavior is determined by environmental together with the internal organization of the system making the selection, how is that not reactive, why would it matter if it isn't, and why does that not apply to robots?

The second point is that the internal organization of organisms is a result of evolution, so it too has been determined by the environment, and, furthermore, by a process that can be - and is - used to develop programs.

There are heavy doses of ontological argumentation here ("this is an X and that is a Y"), but our categories are determined by what we know (or think we do.) As you say, nature can make a mockery of those boundaries.
Hi All, We had over 6,000k interactions and have hit OpenAIs hard api usage limits :-). I have requested OpenAi to increase limits. Until then the live chat with bot may be restricted. Remember to get on the waitlist with "get access" if you want to give it a try when the live chat starts again.
The main issue with inheritance is hard coupling of data and code. As code evolve from data modeling point of view it can be advantages to split the state managed by one object into several data structures. With data inheritance such refactoring is almost impossible. When inheritance is limited only to pure interfaces the access to the state is not hard-coded and can be redirected as necessary.
There is nothing about rendering either JSON or HTML or fragments in websocket based systems. That's the interface to frontend or maybe we could even call it server based frontend (traditional HTML pages) but as long as it uses CPU cycles in the backend server and it's part of the backend app shouldn't it be in the backend roadmap?
There's a gui builder for GTK that is sort of VB-like. It spits out a file that you can load with pygobject and then add all your hooks and events. I've used it for some GTK2 projects in the past, only problem is that compiling the python modules on windows seems to be impossible (for me anyway)
Monopolizing a vertical supply chain isn't even a concept that makes sense. The point is that with a monopoly customers have only one purchasing option. This condition does not exist when a company integrates vertically.
It's feasible (and has been done). But there are still issues (at least source 2 & 3): The model confuses multiple people named John Prescott.

Query: `Describe the early life of John Prescott`

> John Prescott, Baron Prescott of Kingston-upon-Hull, was born on May 31, 1938 in Prestatyn, Wales [1]. He served as a British politician and stood as the Labour candidate in the 2012 election [1]. Prior to his political career he worked at the New England Aquarium for 22 years where he described how whales communicate with each other [2]. He also has a VetMB PhD from Cambridge University and is an expert on leptospirosis in family dogs from a public health perspective [3]. In addition to his work experience he attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Boston Public Schools [4][5] before becoming an early career teacher himself and eventually entering politics.

Ask HN: What are you looking forward to reading in 2023?
Curious to hear what books are on everyone's reading lists for the coming year.

Also would love to know why you're interested in the book as well!
I’d love to see a ROCm vs CUDA comparison on training some pytorch models of different architectures.

EDIT - correction, the MSRP for the 4090 is only $1600
I have the feeling the meaning turned from "PHP" to "PHP or some other interpreted language like Python, Perl, Ruby or JavaScript" over time.

That's why I said "for example".
My encounter with Medley Interlisp
I admit that I only skimmed the article, but the first thing that jumps at me is counterparty risk; the same risk the author is trying to avoid in his rejected "just short Tether" option. The proposal seems to put a bunch of crypto exchanges in the transaction path which, thinks me, can bring trouble* should the Tether collapse the way FTX did.

More generally, while Tether may be a house of cards that will eventually collapse, placing a bet on it has actual costs. And "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" is an adage worth remembering. My 2c.

*either directly, by failing to deliver the winnings should the trade go the authors way; or indirectly, via clawbacks when govvies and lawyers go after those who made profits to (minimally) compensate those who was left holding the bag.
look i'm as skeptical as the next HN'er but the evidence of past history is against you and "ever" is a very long time...

BTC doesn't have to win mass adoption for it to set new highs, it just has to be the "store of value" (i know, i know) for enough people and for the next QE cycle to start in 3 years to get going again
I think the idea is to use it as a fuel in a fuel cell, not to use it as a combustion fuel.
How does that help whether to buy or sell in 2023? You could say the exact same paragraph last year, but someone would’ve bought and lost 2/3 now. That means it could happen again.
Who is held responsible if a company gets fined or sued? Does someone get fired?
You'd need both, of course. And huge teams of artists churning out proprietary dataset updates constantly.

The current situation where you'd download billions of free images off the Internet only works once, and only if you somehow justify it as a research endeavour.
Once this thing is monetized intellectual property laws will kick in.

There's archeological evidence of transgenders going back almost 3000 years before any hormone was ever isolated. Some Native American tribes had room for as many as 7 genders. There are definitely not more LGBT today than before. Animals probably invented it a few hundred millions of years ago. The good news for you is narcissism can be mitigated. Get help.
Just before Covid I did consulting for a green hydrogen product, on logistics, supply chain and all that. And, in the low to mid volumes, the easiest way, which included distribution to smaller sites, was using carrier oil and standard oil tank containers. I would have to look the exact oil up again.

Also true, as soon as one hits high volumes nothing beats liquified gas or pipelines.
It's not sinister. It's just tax avoidance and creation of a PAC that has a huge but non-controlling share of Patagonia.

"Most of Patagonia’s shares—98%—are going to a nonprofit, meaning that Chouinard will not have to pay taxes on that gift"

"When an exempt organization receives dividends or sells appreciated stock, the exempt organization doesn’t pay taxes. And that’s true for public charities, private foundations, and also 501(c)(4)s"

"If they just gave 100% of their Patagonia shares to the (c)(4), then the (c)(4) would have control over Patagonia. Instead, they’ve created a dual-class structure, sort of like Google or The New York Times, where a minority shareholder actually has majority control"

---------

https://fortune.com/2022/09/21/patagonia-family-control-shar...

Under Patagonia’s new business structure, company shares have been split between two new entities: the Patagonia Purpose Trust, and the Holdfast Collective charity. The Collective gets 98% of total shares while the Trust gets just 2%. However, the Trust’s 2% of shares also carry all of Patagonia’s voting rights, which means the trust has 100% of company oversight

---------

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/et-evoke/patagonia...

The new non-profit, the Hold Fast Collective, is a brand new creation from Patagonia itself which is headed by Greg Curtis, a Patagonia corporate lawyer who joined in 2014.

https://www.thekiteboarder.com/2018/10/16/craft-an-interview...

Yvon Chouinard is 84 years old and his children don't want to work for Patagonia - he has very little choice of what to do. His children are in the incredibly privileged position of not caring about money and even say so. The son is a surfer/kite boarder. Grandchild(ren) are still very young so Yvon is most likely trying to preserve generational wealth because his children do not want to contribute to the preservation and continuance of Patagonia. So his corporate lawyer will do it.
Which besides a few users waiting for the return of OpenMoko, no one else cares about, including malware authors.
I disagree.

For a startup it should be whatever you know and are familiar with, and preferably something managed. For $20/month you can run a mysql database, plus a DO app platform app which is a docker container with whatever stack you want. A single tutorial will give you a CI CD pipeline with reproducible artifacts and something that will scale until it's worth actually paying attention to it.

The probability of Tether collapsing and Bitcoin going to/beyond its previous peak are definitely different.

They're also quite possibly inversely correlated (e.g. Tether collapsing could also tank Bitcoin).
> building up a brand

That's a big topic, and one I'm not an expert on - if I was forced to pick my weakest gamedev suit, marketing would be it.

What worked for me was picking a social media outlet I felt comfortable with, then using it to its fullest. For me, that was Twitter, back in the 140-character days way before all this Musk mess. Twitch might work for you, if you enjoy building up an audience around a stream - though with a coding stream you're mostly going to get other programmers (not necessarily a bad thing depending on the game).

The biggest boost in recognition for Slipways was as a result of Twitch/YouTube content creators featuring it. Content creators (not necessarily limited to YT/Twitch) is where I would focus my efforts these days when trying to get the word out. The smaller-to-medium-sized ones are usually very approachable and eager to try stuff out.
This looks amazing. Lots of people complain about node based editor but there is a real need for non-destructive/parametric 2D workflows.

Why not make this commercial though? I wouldn’t mind spending a small amount of money on such an editor.
Very poor phrasing
Agreed. I would recommend learning many concepts, e.g. in the database section, what's the difference between a document/time-series/column/graph/etc. database. A broad knowledge of such things makes us better at choosing the right tool for the job, rather than (poorly) re-inventing stuff that already exists.

However, I wouldn't bother choosing any actual implementation, for a few reasons:

- It takes time that could otherwise be spent learning something else

- If you're inheriting a legacy project, that choice has already been made for you

- If you need to choose one for some green-field project, the landscape/tradeoffs may have changed since you originally learned this stuff (e.g. your preferred tool may have been discontinued, or some alternative has solved a bunch of its problems, etc.)

When it comes to actually building stuff, start small and simple (e.g. LAMP, (Fast)CGI, etc.); whilst keeping those concepts in mind to avoid limiting future options (don't over-abstract, since YAGNI; but likewise don't paint yourself into a corner)
I am the same. The solution for me was forcing myself to see friends and family. I’ve literally got reminders for this in my phone. And working out, there’s no keyboard in the gym.
The opium wars occured because of detrimental effects of opium consumption on chinese population.
> they should not be able to operate as both the marketplace/exchange and the vendor

This should just be codified into law, regardless of monopolistic intent. Any vendor that uses their position of power to limit the freedom of their customers should be hit with the full extent of the law - starting with FAANG, and then working our way down from there.

Wouldn't qualcomm happily supply mobile CPUs, which are basically what you need for a datacenter aside from slapping bigger caches on them?
Yes because Skype and GitHub are market leaders and it’s really hard to change your git origin.

How is Apple “monopolizing the vertical supply chain” while having only 13% of the global cell phone market?
Yes, it's cringe because it's said as a laughing matter and can have no consequences nowadays or it mostly doesn't.
I used to think this way too before and I am still not liberal but the thing with racism is, the start might be jokes but once it's systematic because "nobody cares it's just jokes" those same words might start to hit differently.

The liberals can be overreaching about such matters, but I personally think racial slurs shouldn't be tolerated a lot.

This is just my 2 cents on the subject.
Not everyone can or wants to- maybe they want to be the artist through AI
They had to make laws preventing peasants wearing aristocratic clothing. Yeah peasants experienced brutal conditions but the upper class did as well by modern standards. It’s scary to think that the beast of societal dogma could even spoil history as well as everything else.
Honestly I feel like it gives me more leverage. Every 3-5 years the administration has to be ready for me to walk, and they need to make competitive offers to keep me. These are not like tenured positions that only open up once a generation, so it's actually worthwhile to see what else is out there, so threats to leave for greener pastures are more credible.
One thing I don't miss about my research years is latex. It does produce beautiful documents and kudos to Knuth/Lamport for producing a system that stood the test of time. But what a pain to use.
