Thanks, I almost had to stop reading after seeing multiple fundamental misunderstandings like that. I respect the author and have BMOW stuff for my Mac, but he should throw a big “I’m new to this” caveat around this article.
This just wreaks of the Luddism of the 19th century all over again.

Good luck stopping the inertia of progress.
> It seems that the syntax highlighting is the culprit.

In that case, it was the fact that adding a bullet point to a list would rescan the whole list (so it could simply update a bullet count in the header). You would need to implement incremental parsing for that, and that's not very easy. And certainly not natural.

> If I understood the author correctly, he's saying that structured editors are superior to a syntax highlighting system that's based on regexps, when you use them for programming.

Absolutely, that's one of the points.

I must add something, though. It's not just about speed. And, in fact, it's not even just about editing.

Most exciting possibilities of the structural approach stem from the fact that you can start thinking in terms of objects: then you write textual interfaces for those objects, for the purposes of textual (or even graphical) interaction.

The bare-bones example is that if you had a table, or a tree in a note-taking application, then you could query that tree, but you would still retain the textual interface. Even better: you could embed any editor within any other editor, which would directly correspond to a compound structure at hand.

To give you an idea of a note in a KR (knowledge-representation, prototype OO) system:

(create-schema power-of-structure
(:is-a kr-note)
(:title "The Power of Structure")
(:tags '("seamlessly-structural editing" "power"))
(:introduction '("Welcome to Project Mage!"
"The purpose of this article is [...]"))
(:table-of-contents nil)
(:sections (create-schema))
(:related-links nil)
(:footnotes nil))

This note [1] could have any other structure, any other slots, of course. But it's just an object in memory.

Now, all you would have to do is lens that object, aka, construct a tree of embedded editors for it (which Rune will also do via KR, just like the object above).

Another example: code. A large comment block? View and edit it via a note-take application, or a markdown application, or what have you.

Another example (leaving some details aside): attach comments to any piece of code (up to a character). That comment doesn't even have to be a part of the editing workflow. I think that's pretty powerful (and there are more use cases, see Alchemy in [1]).

[1] This example is directly from https://project-mage.org/the-power-of-structure
Is it NTFS or is it the NT I/O stack? Because the latter is so impressively complex I’m not sure if it’s actually possible for it to do fast metadata operations.

(I remember Raymond Chen writing there was a special metadata caching layer in the NT FAT driver because otherwise it would be unbearably slow. Linux has a general-purpose dentry cache playing a similar role—does modern Windows have anything similar for NTFS?)
There only needs to be an answer if it's determined that some number isn't copyright infringement. The easy answer would be to say that the process is what prevents the works from being transformative(and thus copyrightable) and not the size of the training set.

I live in the city, my parents live in a suburb/village. But the village is all mowed lawn, it’s surrounded by intense farming.

I see more wild animals than they do. There’s a breeding pair of some bird of prey in the park next door, there’s falcons and skylarks on the Tempelhofer Feld, I regularly see foxes in the greener parts of town. It’s not like in a nature park, but suburbs are a desert compared to what I have.
Addiction is when the motivation for a stimuli is divorced from reward from the stimuli and the animal keeps exposing itself to the stimuli regardless. But socially in humans this is acceptable until the addiction begins to have detrimental effects on the person being able to care for themselves. In almost all cases the simuli capable of doing this are drugs that bypass actual perception and internally/chemically tweak the balance for motivation.

There's not even a thing called "Gambling Addiction". Only, "Gambling disorder" and it's the only behavioral "addiction" recognized by the DSM-5.
Making pizza at home is like changing tyres or oil yourself - messy, expensive, takes ages and totally not worth it.
If you can put a bunch of large things together into a small file and then later (lossily) extract the large thing out of that smaller file, I'd argue that's compression, yeah. It doesn't really matter if it was intended to be art up as a compression algorithm or not in my opinion. If anything, this approach can be considered a revolution in lossy image compression, even though there's no real market for that at the moment.

If someone finds a way to reverse a hash, I'd also argue that hashing has now become a form of compression.

I think in 5 billion images there are more than enough common image areas to allow for average compression to become lower than a single byte. This is a lossy process, it does not need a complete copy of the source data, similar to how an MP3 doesn't contain most of the audio data fed into it.

I think the argument that SD revolves around lossless compression is quite an interesting one, even if the original code authors didn't realise that's what they were doing. It's the first good technical argument I've heard, at least.

All of those could've been prevented if the model was trained on public domain images instead of random people's copyrighted work. Even if this lawsuit succeeds, I don't think image generation algorithms will be banned. Some AI companies will just have spent a shitton of cash failing to get away with copyright violation, but the technology can still work for art that's either unlicensed or licensed in such a way that AI models can be trained based on it.
I concur. And a standalone program written in Python. I like Python the language, but running someone else's python code is a mess. Look at the build/dependencies etc sections on the page. What it should be: "Download and install this binary for Win, this for Linux, or this for Mac. Run it to use (or install depending on complexity) the program.

Or, if building from source is desired for whatever reason, it should be "Clone the repo. Run `cargo build --release` or w/e.

The original author went as far as to publish a "second edition" more recently. This second edition is actually literally a cookbook. It's geared towards the mutual aid scene and the recipes are recipes you can make for hundreds of people

We actually used it when starting a new Food Not Bombs chapter locally and most activists I talked to seemed to mainly be familiar with the followup. So I guess it had some level of success in covering up the original
I think that it works because when loop() rejects, Promise.all() rejects too so it doesn't matter who wins.
Depends on if “attempt to sell it back to you” is an accurate framing
Once you start recreating copyrighted works from hashes this analogy becomes relevant, until then how can you compare the two when the distinguishing feature is its ability to reproduce the training data.
Then the question that has to be answered is what unwanted and harmful effect consists of.
This is a fair point. This press release was not aimed at software engineers, and "rules that prohibit those kind of changes" is vague. It could mean anything from a sign on the wall that says "please don't!" to a robust access control and deployment pipeline that they intentionally circumvented.
Yes, the water that comes to your apartment is fed by gravity from a holding tank situated at a higher elevation than you.

But getting the water that high depends mostly on electric pumps. Even if the source is higher than the water towers, there are open cisterns for water treatment between the source and tower. And those pumps and treatment plants have backup generators and priority on gas deliveries for them.

I did the same thing, I put my phone in Grayscale mode. It seems to help. It's incredible how much more enticing the colored versions of the thumbnails for shorts and videos are. The Grayscale also works as a reminder that I need to pay attention to my Youtube consumption.

However I imagine that I'll have to find a way to temporarily disable Grayscale for taking pictures and some other tasks.

Regarding the shorts, I really wish there were a setting to disable them altogether. They are pure evil.
It probably does already as Blink uses SectorLisp to generate the JIT portions of the code if I remember correctly. Not sure if Blink has JIT enabled in the Wasm version though.
I don't do anything with generated code. But is it necessary to generate that code every time TSC does a build? Could it be independent? I usually use two different ts export indexes, and create two dist JS files for each app. Most of the boilerplate that rarely gets touched (user management, login and signup screens, common UI elements, utility code) is essentially in an outer JS file that loads the inner JS with the business logic and meat of the app, but has no imports from the inner JS whatsoever. They're basically two separate projects. Not that I've noticed much difference with tsc, but it makes webpack or r.js faster if you can create separate webs of dependencies and only need to repack one of them without touching the other...
This video keeps popping up over the years. Is there any kind of evidence this man is who he says he is?
Likely yes. You could even switch to a less intensive model for doing that (e.g. Curie). The Curie model is 1/10th as costly as Davinci to run. Running 8k tokens through Davinci is $0.16 while Curie would only be $0.016 - and that's likely showing up in back end compute and should be considered if someone was building their own chat bot on top of gpt3.

Nah - you really don't want to make it sync.

Personally - I don't want my entire UI to lock up on slow connections because the entire js context is paused waiting for a response that was fast for the dev on his dev machine sitting right next to the server, but is slow as fuck on my 3g connection pulling data at 1kb a second with fairly frequent packet loss.

It depends to what degree it's literal copying. See e.g. the Obama "Hope" poster. [1] Though that case is muddied by the fact that the artist lied about the source of his inspiration. Had it in fact been an older photo of JFK in a similar pose, there probably wouldn't have been a controversy.

I'm also in the UK and a friend brought up the illegality of it once, when we were discussing it, so I ended up having a look and it's freely available and sold by Amazon.co.uk, so I think your fears are exaggerated.

There's an instance where two teenagers were charged with possession of it, but were found innocent: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/7685636.stm

However, if you're also involved in terrorist activities, then possession of it could count against you.

Citing fair use is putting the cart before the horse here. The debate is around whether or not the stable diffusion training and generation processes can be considered transforming the worka to create a new one in the same way we do for humans which allows for the fair use of video clips. To say that it would be similar to fair use is assuming the outcome as evidence, aka begging the question.
With DNS-over-HTTPS, after the DNS query is performed, does the client machine then connect directly to the IP address that was resolved by the DNS query? If so, would it be possible to do a reverse DNS search on all IP addresses that client(s) connect to and block based on those results?

> Why do you think murder is a special case that isn't included in "ultimate?"

Because that's completely outside the context of what we're discussing here. Because we were talking about who gets final say on medical treatments, and because I clarified with OP [0].

Sure, there's evil people out there. Though usually "I brought you in...I can take you out" seems like hyperbole. But child abuse is wrong for the same reason the same abuse towards adults is wrong. I'm creating a distinction, because the principle involved matters: is the state exerting authority over the bad action done to the child, or over the child itself?

> I am not trying to advocate for, nor justify anything.

You are explicitly advocating for that, and explicitly justifying it. "The state gets final say." "It's better for the state to use their Ultimate Authority to intervene." "I would rather have the state disallow murdering children rather than each parent deciding for themselves if they should be able to murder their kid." "People don't get to murder their children and get away with it."

> representative of labour for negotiations

in your words they try to get as much of the economic surplus for themselves as possible. They can do this with a long time horizon like German unions where there’s s consideration that you want the company to still be around in 30 years so your child has the option to work there or American style give me all your money right now short termism.

Cartel isn’t a term of abuse. It’s a description of the entire point of a union. They monopolise labour and negotiate with employers to the benefit of the average worker. The less like the average worker you are the less well they’re going to represent you.

For long-haul hybrids do make a lot of sense, moving on the highways/out of cities on fuel, then switching to electric when entering them but - isn't there always a but - there is a much simpler solution already available, you use a "normal" truck for the highway, arrive on an exchange parking, leave the trailer that then is brought into the city by a pure electric truck.

Surely there can be particular routes/scenarios where hybrids may offer an advantage, but it is not (at least to me) very clear which ones they are.

I think things like developing Salesforce extensions, SharePoint features, etc has this sort of "parachute in" property too, where the requirement is specific. It is also well paid.

I think things like building marketing websites, landing pages, contact forms, etc is like that too on the lower paid end of the spectrum.

A long time ago this industry was built on women, the first programmers were women. It was a female dominated field. So what happened? The women stopped giving a fuck and the men took over.

The industry has plenty of attractive qualities for any sex: Good money, good jobs. These far outweigh the occasional toxic male who is easily put down these days. If women aren’t signing up, then maybe they just don’t care about computers as badly as people want them to.

> Driving is not a closed domain problem. There will always be fat tail circumstances where statistical methods will break down.

It doesn’t have to solve all cases to be immensely useful. All it needs is to be able to recognize when it’s unable to safely have control with enough advance notice to delegate to a human.
Remotely piloted aircraft have been a thing for a long time; seems like we could do the same with trucks, so that humans only need to do the driving a small % of the time.
I also suspect that current AI will likely respond to emergency situations better than humans do on average, because they don’t get tired and have superior reaction time.
