> It's equivalent to trying to sue a compression codec because a specific archive contains a copyrighted image.

That's plainly untrue, as Stable Diffusion is not just the algorithm, but the trained model—trained on millions of copyrighted images.
The real HN page in contrast is “nicer” and more “design-aware”, but also bland. Your colour choices are harder on legibility and less standard, but interesting and original in an artistic way. As somebody interested in these kinds of things, I found that fascinating.
I think he left due to conflict of interest with Tesla which is basically an AI company now.
Yes, there is, if you avoid the petrochemicals-funded loonies.

We are probably heading for about 3º–4º C of warming this century, which very strongly implies an ice-free Arctic and the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. That alone suggests circa 5 metres of sea level rise, and Greenland will add more.

Isostatic rebound like this will be less than a rounding error in the overall picture.

I guess I may be behind the times on some of these AI efforts, but I'm guessing that the model involves a big black box blob of data.

I'd be interested to know how models evolve with additional training, and wonder if there are additive identities that would allow two separately trained models to be combined.
I doubt it would be a violation.

Specifically fair use #3 "the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole."

A sentence being a copyright violation would make every book review in the world illegal.

Interesting, do you know where I can read more about that? Or is this something you found out yourself?

This is pretty cool, it's like a Python and *nix version of Exact Audio Copy (EAC) for Windows. I enjoy the ritual of perfectly ripping a CD. I can spend an hour or two scanning the artwork, verifying the track names, performing the rip, losslessly compressing (I prefer FLAC), generating .cue files, checksuming everything, then sitting down to experience the best possible digital copy of a physical item I can self produce.

> most depressing toxic response

It's concerning that you have such a low bar for using such extreme language, which seems a bit tone-deaf given the point you are trying to make. Couldn't you have phrased that in a less flamebait way?

To elaborate and address your valid point, however: OP implies a confusion between the subjective and objective. The site makes statements in an objective way as if they are facts about what is "news", "interesting", and what is bad content. Being a publicly available tool reinforces that implication further.

My final takeaway point, as explained by all the previous points before it, was that this is incorrect because the OP's objectively described views are in fact very subjective. This is one in a long line (dozens?) of "HN but more X less X"es, and most make this mistake, which is why they never gain any ground.

I could have been less discouraging, however, so I'll try and take that onboard.
i can’t believe how effective this has been for me. I’ve noticed that instead of being continually “interested” in youtube and going down the rabbit hole constantly, i actually get bored of youtube pretty quickly once i have watched all the content my subscriptions have put out. i still spend way too much time on my phone, but i guess i need to have the phone equivalent
> But that's not particularly important relative to the point I'm making: none of the societies you listed were examples of the idyllic noble-savage kind of society that popular culture tends to portray hunter gatherers to be.

Literally no one is making that point. What people (or at least I am) saying is believing all hunter gatherer societies are dominated strong man violence is pure fantasy that is informed by they’re own biases and wishes rather than actual data.
No kidding, I've got about 12 years on my coat and it's still running strong.
> I disagree with your prediction about future humanity

In what way?

Humanity has agreed that human slavery is bad, so why would future humans not apply this same principle to other sentient beings - since the need to exploit and kill other animals becomes ever more redundant.

Most of us here in the West eat animals either because of culture or tradition and because we enjoy the taste, not because we need it to survive.

Will there be small pockets of humans in the future that still eat animals? Yes, tribal folks living with nature or people who choose to live in areas where there are no other food sources.

But I believe most future humans will reject the idea that exploiting and killing animals is necessary for our survival, when there are so many other food sources available. In the future we'll probably have meat substitutes that are healthier and with a smaller carbon and cruelty footprint than animal meat.

> Tibetan Buddhist perspective

I don't know what this perspective really means. I read some time ago the Dalai Lama was advised to eat animals, because his health depended on it. And maybe other Buddhists and people in Tibet have to eat animals because their survival depends on it.

Also my understanding of Buddha's teachings is to end suffering. A core principle of Buddhism is non-violence, kindness and compassion. Killing an animal when it's not necessary is neither of those.

I also understand that it's ok for Buddhists to eat animals if they weren't killed specifically for them. But buying animal meat from shops does not qualify that criteria. Eating roadkill does.

We can choose between causing suffering or not causing suffering. A tiger for example can't.

So when we can avoid the exploitation and killing of animals - why don't we?

This ex special forces guy perfectly sums it up.

If you're getting hot water from your building, (presumably) steam heating through your radiator supplied by the building, natural gas to cook with, running water in general from the city, and sewage disposal down your toilet, I don't think you can call this "off grid" as the term is commonly understood.

The article (not HN) headline is more accurate -- "disconnected from the electric grid". To which I guess I would ask, in a place like Manhattan -- why? Installing prohibited solar panels on your building's roof doesn't seem particularly noteworthy, nor is it scalable in an urban area.
As a FOSS developer I wish I could notarize it without paying $100/year to Apple.

this article is quixotic at best.
the author states the common clubber exchange was: "name/location/drug?" then
waxes nostalgic about "open conversations" on pills, citing a 2 line dialogue with someone about sexuality and masculinity?

red flags:

-how were they having these intimate conversations in clubs blasting massive attack?
-yes i do believe MDMA can be used to facilitate open communication, but also think that this superpower would be better served to create/restore lasting relationships vs single-dose convos in clubs
-none of the potential downsides to her drug use were listed. iirc, back then mdma was frequently cut with meth. the author doesn't mention safety around testing your drugs or long-term mental / physical issues stemming from large-dose/chronic MDMA usage.

not to diminish their nostalgia and their decisions -- go do drugs. legalize .*

Sure, but again, you're living off of your neighbors if you don't contribute. It's more efficient over all, but you still need X amount of energy to heat all flats to Y°C. You can shut off your heater, your neighbors have to heat a little more because some heat will escape to your flat, and you don't have to pay and still get the heat.

It's the same amount in total, just divided through fewer parties.
I don’t mean to be rude but if you don’t see the value, just don’t use it? You’re perfectly fine not reading stories on HN that you don’t care about, so just add this site to that list and move on. Not everything has to solve YOUR problem.
They are also spreading in the USA. New Jersey has had them for quite a long time, and is building more. I've been surprised to see them as an apparent new default for new intersections in central Wisconsin where my wife's family is from.

I realize it is not a direct corollary, but some of the goals described are why I started learning Shen[1] several years ago. Yes, Shen is a Lisp, but it has been ported to many other PLs. You simply need to implement 46 primitive functions (maybe more now?) from Kλ in your language of choice and you can program in Shen as your "Acmeist" PL.

They have a good job with a firm funded by Phillip Morris and others lobbying for more drug use via articles like this one. It’s like going to school to get a PhD in Egyptology and then taking a job as a professor of Egyptology. Good gig for the training if you can get it.
i tried nearly drug under the sun back in the day, played in bands, wrote the best songs during drug comedowns and partied like an animal until suddenly growing up around 30 and getting my bachelor's in physics, a family and starting a business. i have no regrets. mdma, lsd, ketamine and nitrous were my favourites. i still smoke weed now and then on weekends, never drink because i don't really enjoy it. i'm from the netherlands in case that matters.

I think you should not get hung up on the term of political speech. Is their a discrepancy between what standards the USA tries to hold others to and its own actions? If yes, that is something I am happy to label hypocrisy. If, for example, you insist that international law must be followed but ignore it yourself if it is inconvenient or against your interests, that is - in my book - hypocrisy and there is no political speech involved.
This is really cool! Forth is a language that I hadn't really spent much time thinking of until I stumbled across its use in Awkward Array (disclaimer, I am an Awkward contributor now!)

We use a C++ Forth VM to run high performance (de)serialisation from Python (https://awkward-array.org/doc/main/reference/awkwardforth.ht...). Forth's small grammar makes it a highly maintainable approach, and it's amusing that we're using a lang from the 70s as a "new solution" like this.

There's no real point to this comment other than to share some enthusiasm for Forth!

Mine is Star Trek.

It’s not so much an escape as a habit, for me. I started young. When I was 13 or so, I was watching voyager while hacking on game engines. Then I never really stopped.

Nowadays it’s a mix of anime (hello berserk https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD85eRe7NELF7EFIl4YMQOxFw...) and trek. Also gothamchess.

Like you, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Wish I was addicted to books instead, but as far as addictions go, I’d rather it be this than smoking.
I’ve completely lost any sweet tooth that I ever had. Sodas and fruit juices taste sickening to me, and I have zero interest in dessert.

That's the kind of viewpoint you get after years of using Unix or Windows.

Ok. That one is not a rant, but whatever, you are arguing against its contents, and I don't see why I should be repeating myself. Sorry it's too long.

> And if you don't work with a solid foundation, you will start accumulating bloat of small pieces.

Exactly: you need a solid foundation to give you all the flexibility & meta-flexibility that you need. Otherwise meet bloat.

< XML is such a basic type, for tree-structures.

Hey, look, you keep arguing with the article you have decided not to read, and you are arguing with a strawman. I don't know what you think I am trying to do.

> Structures are also such a compromise. It enables you to handle more and press it into a form

You know what real flexibility means? It's the ability to decide when you want structure and when you don't. And this is the kind of structural editing I am proposing: you can simply recreate a string-based editor within it, for any of your elements. At the higher-level, it can be reused. No structure where none is required? Sure. I am all for it. But there's much more structure out there that meets the eye.

> Then maybe you just don't understand the problems tackled here at all.

Or maybe you don't? Because, explain your point better, please.
This is the biggest reason why people aren't having kids in the US and much of the West. Nobody actually can afford it anymore.
I disagree.

Tests should define what the expectations are. If a change does not impact those expectations, then it should be allowed and not break any tests.

Locking your code such that all future changes require updating old tests tells me that your tests are just your code written a second time, with no thought about what the code's requirements are.

Relational Parsing, part 0, recognizer
It’s very happy to stereotype communication - but rendering a photo of that stereotype is where it draws the line.

You can ask it to assume the persona of a well educated police officer writing a police report for a judge, and it will gladly do so. And that communication is unlikely to carry an American southern accent even though there likely exists a well educated police officer who speaks with a southern accent. But ask it to describe that police officer so I can draw a picture and it’s a different story.

Yet if you put “police officer” into a search engine there is a clear aesthetic that we (humans) associate with that stereotype. Blue/black outfit, hat with badge/logo, etc. That clear aesthetic is what I want in the headshot. And instead I got a lecture on inclusion - something important but tangential to the headshot of a police officer.
This should be true but is definitely not. I’ve had cheap metal cutlery that was flimsy and bendable, multiple sets that literally rusted, and I don’t want to know what kind of metals were leaching from it.

Is that the meta of HN though?

Hackers building out their own private versions of the site, an invisible weave atop the common view: events for folks they follow to chat with, profiles in an iframe with custom links--personal pet features.

Remember dark matter developers? Who knows how much of our echoes reverberate in the space of a holographic universe, streams consumed in a wrapped-app above.

So the social piece is the architecture to enable it, but not published, to make a kind of ownership stickiness...

The first rule is...

Hard disagree with the effects of alcohol being universal. Some get energetic, some get tired, others get happy while others still get rowdy. I would say that the range of personalities hidden behind a few drinks are more varied than they are with say MDMA.

Likewise for comparing the availability of alcohol to other substances on a time line: MDMA only became widely known in the 70s! That's nothing compared to the millenia we've known how to make booze.

Shortly, I don't think either one of the arguments holds up to scrutiny.

One kind of collaborative filtering algorithm is "Personalized PageRank" (PPR). Like the regular PageRank you do a bunch of random walks on the graph of users and items where the upvotes are the edges of the graph. What makes it "Personalized" is that you start each walk from the user you are making recommendations for.

If you limit the walk to just 3 steps then it becomes "users who upvoted what you upvoted also upvoted this".

What I like about it is that each recommendation is supported by concrete shared liked items which makes each recommendation easily explainable to the user.

I implemented this algorithm for my project (https://linklonk.com/item/3292763817660940288) that includes RSS feeds as sources of information and it's been working well as a prioritizing RSS reader. It would be great to see this algorithm tried on a bigger website like HN where there are so many upvotes/items/users to work with.

In that case every user would be a curator of content that they have chosen to upvote. If you happen to like someone's upvotes (ie, you upvote the same content as they do) then you would see their other upvoted items ranked higher for you.

The OP is just one curator that has decided to make their liked content public, but PPR would make every user of HN a potential curator of content for you.

I think the downvotes may be coming from what looks kinda like an ad hominem attack vibe. Could've been phrased a bit less rudely. [I didn't downvote btw, I mostly agree with you.]

A lot of people had bad experiences with 'E' for all kinds of reasons, from the old set & setting issue, to overdoing it, to mixing with other drugs, to dirty pills.

MDMA clearly has therapeutic value. There are also many people who've had transcendent experiences with it in the wild who absolutely do not regret it. Then there are those in between (one of my best experiences was followed by a massive comedown). Humans are differently abled when it comes to exploring and/or self medicating-- many if not most are likely better off going through establishment health care channels, but those seeking their own paths shouldn't be demonized.
I don't have to work. Or more accurately, I can avoid work for a long time without any consequences. Think of a balloon that deflates slowly. I have to blow air into it sometimes, but rarely right now.

The weather ends up being a lot more consequential. Sunny days rarely get wasted. I ride my bicycle a lot in the summer.

I can spend more time on projects with zero economical incentive. That's most of my work these days. I can write better tools for my readers without thinking about how they'll pay for themselves. I get to work on what feels right.

I have the time to do things slowly. I can walk two hours to get somewhere, and stop for coffee along the way. I can overengineer things.

I am a lot more available and I am more generous with my time. I don't need to invest my free time so judiciously. People told me that I've become far more relaxed and easygoing.

However I'm very careful about gaming and mindless browsing. I still have an alarm and some structure in my life. I try not to waste my years aboard the gravy train.

I still don't make time to practice an instrument. I didn't join any clubs or rebuild any old motorcycle. I learned that I don't really care about some of those things. The lack of time was just an excuse.

To sum it up as actionable advice: do more of the things you love. Treat it like two hundred Saturdays. Don't turn this into a job, and don't spend them on the couch either.
