Have you ever tried to deal with playlists and queues? It's a nightmare. Way too easy to accidentally play a song rather than queue it up, and simple requests like "I'd like to queue up this song in the middle of this album/playlist" are too confusing. Run into issues constantly on road trips or at parties.
> > " In an interview with Forbes, Midjourney CEO David Holz said that the dataset that the company trained its AI model on was “just a big scrape of the internet” and the company hadn’t sought consent from artists who owned the copyright to their work. “There isn’t really a way to get a hundred million images and know where they’re coming from,” Holz said."

> So you just go ahead and steal copyrighted images without ask and attribution?

It's not ever "stealing". It's a copyright infringement and only if it isn't in fair use.

> This attitude is far beyond the pale and I, for one, hope that the artists succeed with their lawsuit.

The fact that the model is based on scanning a hundred million images in order to function and that less images means it would not function as well and the fact that it is actually impossible to ask for a hundred million permissive uses is all highly relevant to judgements related to fair use.

And of course that there are many non-infringing uses factors in heavily.

In the case of Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc. (1984), also known as the "Betamax case," the Supreme Court found that the sale of home video recording equipment (such as VCRs) was not copyright infringement, because the equipment had "commercially significant noninfringing uses." This principle, known as the "Betamax defense," was relied on by Google in the later case of Authors Guild, Inc. v. Google, Inc. (2015).

In the Google Books case, the court found that Google's scanning of millions of books to create a searchable database was a fair use of the copyrighted works under copyright law. The court cited the Betamax case in finding that Google's use of the books had a transformative purpose, and that the creation of a searchable database had significant public benefits, including the ability to find and identify books, and the ability to create new forms of research and scholarship. The court also found that Google's use did not harm the market for the original books, as it did not serve as a substitute for the original books and that the use of the copyrighted material was minimal.

Similarly, in the case of Stable Diffusion, it could be argued that the tool is being used for a transformative purpose, such as creating new and unique images (for inpainting new background imagery in place of removed people from vacation photos, or generating spectrographs of "70s disco rock", or converting a photo of a dog into a painting of a dog in the style of Dali) , and that it is not harming the market for the original works. Additionally, the fact that Stable Diffusion is free for the public to use may further support the argument that it is fair use, as it does not compete with the original images and does not generate commercial gain for the defendants.

Don't worry, I am sure Netflix will put up their prices again.
Because it’s the same workflow as working with big projects. Tools like vite gives you hot-reloading/fast refresh for HTML/CSS/JS workflow and cache busting/minifying your assets automatically.
But not because you only trained up to examples of two.
The only reason music streaming is so cheap is because it's a commodity. There's several multi-billion dollar corporations all competing with largely identical products. There's not much else than price to compete on.

Video services compete on exclusive content, so they can make subjective value considerations around how valuable certain content is to certain groups.

This is insightful. I used to listen to several hours of podcasts a day, but it was mostly while commuting and at the gym. When I switched to remote work and outdoor runs during the pandemic, I fell out of the habit, and I haven't listened to one in months.

I have a few problems. Spotify for me is about music and that’s it. Why can’t I remove podcasts or audiobooks? They are using too much of my screen to promote stuff they care about and I don’t.

Also, they really, really don’t want you to turn off in-app notifications. I’ve gone through the settings and turned off every single switch I can find and now instead of getting a notification for “band $x is playing in your city” I’m getting a notification that I have notifications disabled and so I’m missing out on all the stuff they want to promote. Occasionally they decide to turn notifications back on and I have to go through them again to find which ones they flipped.

We pay for the family plan and as soon as my kids are off of it, I’ll probably switch to something else.
Better for whom or for what purpose? Remember, we are using value-laden terms here.

The parent essentially said higher frame rate is better because higher frame rate is better.

There are many reasons for which higher frame rate is worse.

2x frame rate requires twice the file size. It makes CGI, practical effects, costuming, and lighting more difficult. Most importantly, the audience doesn't like it.

var baz = bar * bar;

What is HN's experience with summer camps or those kinds of things? A lot of friends I have who went to them as kids said you forge connections very quickly in those environments. I've been to (non-silent) meditation retreats where this kind of thing has happened, too. And I guess for programmers the Recurse Center is probably the most similar: https://www.recurse.com/
The set of numbers that can be written with a finite number of 0-9 digits is countable. That set is called the decimal numbers, and is a subset of the rational numbers which itself is countable too.
Indeed. Not necessarily the drugs everybody thinks though.

Zolpidem (5mg taken in the morning when you are well-rested) apparently does magic - totally nails ADHD. I have never been nearly this alive, present (attentive, mindful), concentrated, non-lazy for the whole day. Better than anything (I have experimented with almost everything in light doses) to enhance my day.

I suspect ADHD has something to do with GABA deficiency/insensitivity.
Please be specific. I never said the mapping has nice properties regarding the ordering.

BTW I know rational numbers map to integers, and hence any length tuple can be mapped to integers by pairwise combining them in similar ways. But if any length tuple of integers can map to a single integer, why can't an infinitely long set of integers map to an integer? Like the string of digits in an irrational number represented as a decimal?

I think podcasting is at its best when it's niche, weirdo content made by nobodies. I mainly listen to comedy podcasts, and the best ones aren't established celebrities barging into the space. See: Conan O'Brien, who I like quite a bit, but I was annoyed when he announced his show. They take up a lot of oxygen and discoverability is worse because of it. On the other hand, they probably roll up a lot of people who wouldn't be listening to a podcast at all otherwise, so it's not like they're sucking up audiences, but there's only so much room for promotion and ranking.

There's also a pool of topics which everyone has an opinion on that are saturated and you really have to have an interesting angle to stand out.

I wonder when we will get to a point that network effects start to dominate in this space, rather than tech/research. It does seem like (a) ChatGPT being publicly available, (b) it learning from user interactions and (c) it having generated a significant level of hype could put it in a position where it pulls away from competition because there is a flow of user information coming in that might allow it to learn faster and better than competitors. Maybe this can't be compensated for just by scraping more data from the web.

I'm not familiar enough with how they've implemented part (b) to be able to judge how effectively they're doing this though.
They are running at capacity for free users. They will be able to afford much higher capacity with MS money, and probably stop providing the service for free soon.

A friend friend of mine with very similar thoughts as me (and, it sounds like, you) recently put it very well. The "workplace proximity associate" kind of friends, while kind of destined to remain shallow and not as deep a connection as any of us might want, are not unimportant. They ground us in a way and help us keep a connection to the world, but maybe not so much individuals.

Honestly just the stuff on this list makes it seem like being rich isn't that appealing. A lot of the things there are pretty small quality of life improvements over what ordinary people can already access.
Your method is not a 1:1 mapping of reals to integers, because you can't even define the position of a single irrational number with your method. You don't know the final digit, so you don't know the leading digit in your system. You have absolutely no idea the ordering of literally any pair of irrational numbers in your system.

> It's position is as precise as your definition.

This wand-waving is actually transforming irrational numbers into rational numbers, and so means you are not actually working with irrational numbers. You can't just say "this works with all irrational numbers, like Pi, so long as we call Pi '3.14'."

Pi is not 3.14, so any mapping system that depends on you cutting off your precision at some finite number of digits is worthless.

But pumped hydro schemes are targeted at frequent charge / release cycles (like once a day). I think what the post you answered to you pointed out is that Hydrogen could be used as long-term storage (storing overproduction from summer to be consumed in winter). This is where batteries are maybe not the best way forward.

I have not looked too deeply into Hydrogen myself, but even this [0] fairly critical post classes longterm storage as a B (scale A: very good, G: absurd). Even though there is other alternatives that are mentioned.

This is all related to the ability to name a specific number. If there are reals that can't be named in a finite number of symbols, why can't there be integers like that as well?
How is that different from claiming, say, there's an integer betwen three and four, oh we can't construct it but that's not a problem, gonna use it in the proofs anyway?
Anecdotally I disagree. I think I have a pretty eclectic taste, and spotify has helped me discover tons of new songs, but also still keeps my daily mixes coherent. I find myself listening to their autogenerated ones most of the time since they are very easy to craft and extend.

Apple is in different markets though, it's not in search for example, so this doesn't matter, apple sells the devices that you access the AI from, rather than the services that will require the AI to run, i.e you still use Google on your apple device, so if google changes or loses out, it doesn't matter, you still use your Apple device to access that service.

Apple has already invested in optimising there machines for Stable diffusion for example.

I had that 20S for years. Great calculator. Display went bad so I got rid of it. I wish I’d explored fixing it instead.

In spite of having no shortage of calculator apps at my disposal, I missed having a physical calculator so I actually bought a NumWorks calculator a couple of years ago. It’s a great calculator but there’s just something about that HP calculator aesthetic that I miss.
> If it is sufficiently impossible to describe the number, how did it get in the set.

It got added along with infinitely many others!

That's the thing, it's no problem dealing with "hairy" reals as long as you deal with infinitely many of them at a time. You can say, "all the numbers between zero and one", and the fact that it will include numbers whose decimal expansion can't be described by any rule shouldn't cause any trouble.

But if I ask you, "show me one of these numbers whose decimal expansion can't be described by any rule", then by definition, you can't.
See how you qualified your use of "improvement" with "technical?" The parent post did not, which is why I commented.
Yes, that is a core truth, but doesn't excuse the current behavior. There's a lot of middle ground between "employment for life" and "you're a disposable object".

For sure you can treat employees as disposable objects, but this zero trust situation surely will backlash in one way or another.
Not sure what you're going on about. I tried replicating what you describe, but `git switch` keeps working just fine.

I could not get into podcasts until I started listening at 1.5x. That changed everything for me, the information density was finally high enough that they were worth listening to, and over time I upped the speed to 2.5x (mostly). Also I’ve started listening audiobooks faster (though not as fast), and that has greatly increased my consumption of audiobooks, even when measured in hours listened.

If you’ve not tried it I would heartily recommend it - I really didn’t think it would matter before I tried it.

Tim Cook had his compensation cut, and Reid Hoffman left the CEO role (becoming exec chairman). AFAIK, all other bigco CEOs did the 'taking responsibility' thing of doing absolutely nothing.

I can see why Spotify is reluctant to dump the CEO. Theirs is a business model that's never been profitable anyway, so keeping the founder on couldn't make things any worse.

No, Lunar doesn't have that snapshot functionality because it's really hard to make it work for every possible setup. UUIDs can change between connections and the user can be left with an unusable snapshot. Or, because of how the HDMI/DP connection was negotiated, some display modes might not be available until a disconnect/reconnect cyle.

And it's impossible to detect the problem and convey it to the user when it happens, it mostly looks like an app bug no matter what I try.

But I am planning to add it in the future, at least in a rudimentary form.

He kind of does, in the sense that stuff like span do require opt-in configuration for bounds checking, and both clang-tidy and VC++ Core Guidline checkers still leave too much room for improvements.

I love his talks, and how he tries to push the C++ community to write better code and less "C with C++ compiler" code style, however the production code I get to occasionally look into proves that a large majority just doesn't care.
