Yes, and (maybe sounds silly), how does that actually work? I mean, companies aren't democracies -- then, how does it matter that one guy has 100 droolers^H^H reports and the other guy has 20?

Is it that everyone subconsciously thinks that "they are more people so they get to decide"?

I don't think this is formalized in any way? (There's no written rule that says "bigger team gets to decide")
I assume it also allowed them to get a lot of testing with people pushing its limits in different ways.
Except when you forget all about this ancient single-tasking terminal convenience, and accidentally enter ctrl-z, and can't remember how to get back again (nope, not ctrl-d).
You're on the right track. A good place to start is by defining some behaviours for cases which are errors in POSIX, because you know apps can't be using them. The most obvious move is to let directories also be files. This isn't allowed today mostly for historical reasons - directories were originally implemented as files internally, so the OS couldn't let you store your own stuff there and the side effects of this ripple all the way up and down the tech stack. If you fix this then you can "mount" a file onto itself using FUSE, such that apps that want to read the custom binary format or JSON as text can do so, and other tools that want to explore a directory structure can do that too (e.g. a shell), and the two are linked by a collection of user space format-specific filesystems.

Collaborative editing is too much to bite off at once. The semantics of edit conflicts are very app specific and high level. You can get a long way by just hooking file IO in userspace.
> Well, they explicitely state, that they are ready to change a bit, if the shitstorm is big enough.

Yes and there already was a massive shitstorm that they attempted to address before these additional details were leaked. That's the part that confuses me. It should have been crystal clear to WotC that there would be huge outrage over this leaked document. The chain of events so far has been:

- Rumours started about changes in the new OGL to make it more restrictive but with little actual details.
- Creators within the community start worrying and raising a shitstorm based on their negative presumptions of the new OGL.
- WotC post about the new OGL on DndBeyond to address the rumours (https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1410-ogls-srds-one-d-d). They say they hadn't planned to share details so soon but felt they had to to reassure the community due to the shitstorm the unsubstantiated rumours had raised. The details they share seem reasonable, if more restrictive, and WotC say they want to make the process easy for creators.
- The text of the OGL is leaked and it's waaay more restrictive than the blog post implied and arguable worse than most creators originally feared during the initial shitstorm.

At the moment the best is probably Google WaveNet/Neural2, you can try it here: https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech

Yes, what is meant by 'parsing the commands with a search'? Just performing zz after the search, ie 'pairing'? I couldn't figure it out otherwise.
It seems that user experience always takes a back seat when designing tools and people just associate UX with the UI, but it should apply to everything.
As it happens, AMP pages look great in the text-only browser I use and are also an easy solution to many "paywalls". (The text-only browser does not autoload resources, run JS or process CSS.) Even without a browser, it is easy to request AMP pages using a command line utility, extract strings enclosed with "<p></p>" and produce an even smaller, readable web page with no ads.
I think the stereotypical Hacker News response would be to encourage people to disrupt Deere with a startup farm equipment company.

Maybe that could rectify this ridiculousness in about 5 - 15 years (if successful).
>a significant price premium

Obviously paying the premium for Snap-On over harbor freight is worth it, for some people. Harbor Freight still makes the most sense for a huge portion of the market, reducing the market for US made tools.

Whatever the result, it will be visible in what succeeds in the market over the long term.
The prevalence of poor examples does invalidate the concept.

More accurately it does NOT invalidate it, but points out we need that concept refined. There's no selective pressure for making a page well-designed, light. Google is trying to to put better designed sites higher up, but they can't hide good content only because it provides horrible bloated UX.

I'm not literally against JS? :D
Generally when AI gets good on a specific task, it doesn't stop.

What's more common though is that even though it gets good on that task, it may not translate to practical real world application.

The best example I can think of is object detection vs self driving: lot of people though that the improvements in object detection on images will easily translate to great self driving, and here we are, still with cars not stopping when a car is blinking in front of it.
The founding principle was to have a thin veil of "academic research" around their work so they could ignore intellectual property laws while they bootstrap.

Wages are very low considering the cost of life here. Rents in the main cities of the country are going through the roof and there's little to no choice (if you're a digital nomad you can always choose to live in other areas, since it's clear you don't need to live close to where you work, but the issue there isn't much better).

About 26% people are living abroad (emigrated) and many of the ones who are staying in the country end up working for portuguese companies who mostly also work abroad.

So, if those people fled a country with such great good, weather and specially their families, it should ring some red flags no?

I had the exact same experience, but if I pictured pressing them in my mind's eye, I realized what they did.

It reminds me of some bilingual kids I know that can understand their dad's language perfectly, but they have a really hard time speaking it (since they always reply in their mom's language). You only learn what you practice.
While I philosophically agree, I struggle to reconcile it with some other practicalities. I (mostly) design and build radio systems, and as the manufacturer it is our job to ensure that it is a well behaved radio system - transmits in the frequency bands it's meant to, at the power it's meant to, without leaking and interfering with other things. For a consumer product, where much of the radio implementation is in some form of software, how do I ensure that the system continues to meet the rules?

You could argue that any changes to the software are then the fault of the user, which is a reasonable point of view. But what if someone comes up with a mod that makes your wifi better by breaking transmit power rules (at the expense of others). Lots of people might use it, and then there are resulting widespread interference problems. Difficult to identify culprits, possibly too many to prosecute etc.

If you look at civitai then you'll see that the good images often have massive negative prompts that literally say things like "missing fingers:-1" or equivalent.
"While there are always exceptions, you typically don't need to hire three developers to build a prototype.”

However, prototypes often don't show any traction. In addition to developers, you need marketing, design, and other people. Thus, three developers is just a simplification.

My main point is that the current market is highly competitive, and products are becoming increasingly complex, so more money is needed to reach our first customers.

In the case of SPA and Electron apps, we have a platform used against its intended purpose and the companies doing the platform, paying for its R&D, simply don't care to optimize it for that side scenario.

Downloading an entire site is an existing strategy, what SPA means (single page application) and these are often terrible UX. You wait a lot for it to load, then it's clunky and the moment you navigate away by clicking a link, you lose a ton of your app state.
I'd argue knowing how to swim with clothes is more important than without, if you have to pick one. Though I'm guilty myself of not living up to this, I also think everyone capable of swimming should also regularly jump into the water with various levels of clothes on, in various temperatures, just to have the skill fresh if needed. (Even if you never fall into the water, you never know when you will witness e.g. a child do.)
I believe OpenAI is for profit since 2019 now.
See https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/11/openai-shifts-from-nonprof...
relevant RFC for UUID as database keys: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch... - was looking into the topic just the other week.
The argument is simple, maybe I was not that clear in my poor English: people who CLAIM to live on feet and bike so to be eco-friendly are not because to live like that they need others to pollute much on their behalf.

So they can state "hey, look, I'm good at my carbon score" in a hypocritically blind argument purposely ignoring the fact that their lifestyle in a small area of Earth to be sustained demand much pollution elsewhere while living on private cars in vast Rivieras do pollute GLOBALLY much LESS.

So people can try to reduce pollution living in single-family MODERN homes, with renewables, buying food in large quantity and stock at home OR claim to have reduced THEIR OWN pollution making someone else pollute more for them.
> So actually-habitable planets must be much, much rarer, among those announced, than astronomy departments' PR crew would have us think

That’s not the conclusion you can draw from that.

With the methods we currently have we can only really spot exoplanets if they are very close to their star and also reasonably big in relation to the star.

That means super-earths close to red dwarfs.

There are very likely many more types of planets, they are just much harder to see from afar.
Microsoft lacks philosophy and imagination, so even if OpenAI were acquired by Microsoft, I don't think it would make the use of Microsoft products more valuable.

In fact, all Microsoft did with DALL-E was to display AI-generated images in Bing's image search. Who would want to use such a feature?

Also, history has proven that companies acquired by Microsoft, such as Skype and Nokia, are corrupt.

Therefore, I hope OpenAI will be an independent organization.
I'm a bit confused by this project. Zork's room descriptions are static, and game states are quite limited.

What is the qualitative difference between this project and someone manually entering the descriptions/states into an image generation AI and presenting that output as a static image file?

Is it the image generation model they're presenting here?

Genuine questions. I'm not trying to be dismissive. What am I missing?

Even with a salary from a Portuguese company, the cost of living is relatively low (compared to other South/Western European countries, and not including Lisbon obviously as it's a outlier [like all metropolitan areas]) so makes sense even with a "native wage". Especially if you work in the IT industry.
Some people think:

“My goal is to make money”

Other people think:

“I need to make some money to achieve my goal”

There are plenty of people from the second category that run businesses, but probably more from the first though.
I dunno I'm currently trying to boycott Chinese made goods, regardless the cost. I'm in the position to be able to do that but so are many others.

It's like they're targeting the lowest common denominator.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy right? If the manufacturing was internal to the US say, theres more jobs hence better economy hence people are able too afford those locally prepared goods.

That probably requires a united front against outsourcing though. It's almost as if globalism breeds poverty, and is just a way for megacorps to milk us of our cash. Totally removed from any kind of social responsibility.

They sure love to change their logos to a rainbow and call that social responsibility though. Like Nike shipping you a keychain of all the micro plastics produced during the manufacturing of those shoes you just bought as if making you deal with their waste is environmental responsibility.
It gets a confusing between DALL-E, DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion 1.x and 2.x. But Imagen is using some ideas introduced by OpenAI and they also published the influential GLIDE paper. To greatly simplify, my impression is that OpenAI's big impact was proving that scale works and causing many other large scale projects to get going.
Cloudflare has more or less killed white-hat crawling en large. On top, you have sites like Bloomberg where even solutions like Puppeteer-stealth will fail at some point.

I can’t see any way this doesn’t end up being sued out of existence by one of the celebrities. Half of me hopes it is. If it hasn’t happened already, it’s only a matter of time before someone uses this for something seriously malicious. Can you imagine how much more havoc this girl[1] could have wreaked if she had access to a version of this? Let alone if some politician decides he wants to take down a rival or stage a coup. Bad things are going to come of this.

EDIT:

The only way I can see avoiding catastrophe with this is if it's legislated properly and someone develops some kind of deep fake detection technology that gets baked in to the majority of video playback software. Presumably that means Apple or Google need to be implementing and pushing for it to get the coverage required. I have no idea how this would work in practice or even how technically feasible it is. Perhaps a pop up goes off or a warning in the browser like when you're about to go to a site with dodgy certificates. Or a red dot starts flashing somewhere when it detects something.

All of this has its own set of problems though. At best, you end up with a chicken and egg scenario with hackers constantly trying to beat the system. At worst, you've got a centralised authority determining what is and isn't a true video which could end up being equally chilling if they decide that the truth is whatever they say it is.

There are two views on the point. One is that we should stick to traditional in-person therapy, use pen and paper, and be strict. The other is that we should help people wherever they are. If they use mobile devices, let's try to help them there.
First thing you'll want is for AI to generate a) stuff in new genres and b) proprietary stuff (Marvel Cinematic Universe, Nintendo, etc.)

None of this is solved algorithmically.
Thank you, gofreddygo!

We really appreciate the feedback and have updated the demos with increased text shadow to, hopefully, improve the legibility. We're also working on creating more compelling demos, such as explorable spaces, maps, interactive 3D models, etc. that might better highlight our strengths.
Are you talking about DRM as in "Digital Rights Management"? As far as I know, cameras have nothing to do with that type of DRM, that's up to the playback device, not the recording.

no biggy, thanks for your words, it's very much appreciated. I do live well, thinking about these things brings obviously some considerations, but ultimately I don't think about myself as a script, aside the technical considerations I also need to include a margin of error to these philosofical zombie hypothesis, and if there is 1% chance of error in it (which I think there should be a lot more, for there are lots of factors to be considered), I would be resigning my free will to a false assumption, so that's why I can't live under the assumption I have no free will.

Look at the history, many "definitive" hypothesis have been refuted along the centuries, when thinking about these I can just wonder how many people have lived their entire life under false premises, just because they were 100% sure "their" philosophy was the "definitive truth".

The truth in real life is a more fluid concept, it constantly changes with entropy (the main culprit if you go all the way down the reasons for change), so I can't take my hypothesis of human determinism as a definitive truth, neither live my life under that premise.

I'd recommend to anyone also to not live theirs thinking they cannot change their own fate.

Thanks again for your words, felt very touched.

FF7 used the Duck codec for the PC release, which can sometimes have a fun bug where all the videos play upside down. I assume the PS1 original uses the consoles built in Motion JPEG decoder.
The information density is high enough with the HN design that having content I'm not interested in displaying isn't much of a burden. On a site like slashdot where each story takes up a large chunk of screen space and hangs around, a hide feature is of more value.

Or it is arbitraging labor prices across different markets and lifting up others. Or it is also arbitraging environmental regulations and taking advantage of more corrupt/inept societies. Or it is also arbitraging better efficiencies in a more appropriately regulated economy, rather than an under or over regulated economy.
The cost of living is not low at all. Don't know where you got that idea from.
I can see the “defederate from indexing” movement too, although this may get pushback from creators that rely on social media to make a living or to self promote.

(Checking for “web search tool”, #Google and #Fediblock from mastodon.social, it seems like people have not noticed yet.)

I would like to point out that HN has actually discussed the “no search social media” idea before, where it was called pseudo-privacy[1].

Whitelisting makes me worried for the future of decentralised social media, as higher barriers for creating new instances encourage consolidation instead of diversity and decentralisation. It’s true that it would make moderation easier, though. Indeed, one of the main barriers to spam right now is perhaps the cost of domains.

Speaking of which, this also makes me worried how the Fediverse will deal with its inevitable spam problem, without simply saying “the volunteer mods will take care of it”. Or perhaps that is a legit strategy, I’m not sure.
