Given that this is a conversation about Islam, this whole subthread seems like a distraction. By any metric of "size and widespread acceptance", Islam is a major religion whose claims should be treated as seriously as any other (which doesn't necessarily mean they should be taken at face value).
You'd hope that cinemas use a display technology which is optimized for looking good at low refresh rates, _especially_ those big expensive IMAX cinemas. Yet big panning shots at 24 FPS looks like a choppy mess there too.
If it was a variant of the waterfall model then it would just put the testing phase up front and once you developed all your unit tests you start making them pass.
I have to imagine that towing has the same impact on range for gas trucks as it does electric trucks. It's just that gas trucks don't mind stopping for fuel more often.

If charging were as ubiquitous as gas stations, would the same ultimately be true of e-towing?
They’re pretty clear it’s just there to check off a box for projects and companies that wish to use SQLite.

Are there third party frontends? Why can't you just pay them, authenticate, and use whatever frontend or player you want?

I suspect that the answer is ads. The Netflix app is an ad billboard on your phone and TV. Also, copyright and DRM.

Edit: I wonder if draconian copyright laws are ultimately to blame here. Nobody is allowed to provide such a service. This is getting a bit off topic though since this article is specifically about content aesthetics.
Why I Declined $100K Development Funding
> 1. Japan has extremely low levels of many of the problems that we have in Western nations.

> 2. The reason WHY they're so unaffected by problems that arise in racially-divided societies with fluctuating gender roles, is because they are a deeply xenophobic monoculture society that restricts immigration and promotes traditional gender roles.

I agree, mostly on 1, but 2? I don't think many people would say their misoginy is in any way responsible for e.g. the order and low crime rates. Xenophobia maybe - it's easier to keep everything clean and orderly if everyone who lives there was born there and was indoctrinated in school to be a good orderly citizen.

However, one of the problems they share with many "Western" nations but much worse, is the birth rate. They're looking at a massive demographic crisis because of their misoginy, and not helped by their xenophobia (e.g. some countries are relying on migrants to "fix" the low birth rates).

> Extreme fasciation with the Japanese way of life has always struck me as roundabout white supremacy cloaked in a cosmopolitan facade.

That is the impression I get frequently too, especially when it's put in a "it's clean and there's no crime because they're racially homogenous" way, which is quite disgusting. Singapore and Switzerland are also clean and with low crime rates, yet they're quite diverse in every possible aspect (cultural, ethnic descent, languages, religions). Haiti is in anarchy, yet relatively culturally, ethnically and religiously homogenous.
>By that logic you should evade your taxes and park in handicapped spots. Having kids isn’t an individual choice, it’s a social obligation like paying taxes.

Doesn't that then beg the question; if a society can't convince it's enough of it's members of the value of that obligation, does that society/culture really deserve to continue to exist as is?
I’m dying to know how they implemented this. In order to have Visa or MasterCard process this transaction, they’d need to have a bank partner to issue the credit credit card with an issuer processor. There’s usually a large cost to keeping open credit cards on file, even if there’s no line of credit.
>While they're real, most of these issues don't really seem worth worrying about except for the site names not being encrypted, but pass also isn't a cloud service so I'm not convinced that's a big deal?

>I guess it's an issue if you're storing the repository in github or backing it up without additional encryption, but I suspect that's not how most people are using it anyway.

How are people using pass then? Do they only keep one copy of their password database on their computer? Are they manually copying loose files between their devices?

No, people literally still roll their own multiplayer networking in 2023. Seriously. Unreal Engine 5's out-of-the-box multiplayer code isn't production ready, and they're probably the "best" of the major engines people use today.

It pales in comparison to older engines from other game companies. It's effectively unusable.
It’s not the people, it’s the management that decided which traits they would reward, both at hiring and during the career.

I think their point is that apple seeds don’t grow true to their parent, so every single sprout from a seed is essentially a new variety, and they are continually created and lost -- the genetic line is not extinct, these are all the same plant. Capturing a large collection of palatable apples is fun, but framing this as some sort of historical preservation is kind of tenuous.
I stumbled on this fine gentleman, while writing an article about a type of apple. His work is legend.
A more important point about Reddit specifically is that when Reddit finally goes IPO, all the mods get ZERO. The investors and the engineers and all the workers at Reddit will become rich, but the people who do the most important work, as outlined by the brief, are the anonymous moderators that create the culture of every subreddit. They get NOTHING.

I find it amazing that this hasn't been brought up by the moderators themselves, and they're okay getting all the outcome and profits from their hard work literally picked away by Reddit. They don't even share in the profits of the advertising revenue from their subreddits! It's really incredible to me.
It's not in any errata. It's a complete misunderstanding of the problem domain and modelling. I don't like to crap on the authors too hard, but they are both hobbyists on the EE side of things and really shouldn't be writing authoritative material on the matter.

The only way to outline this is to do better which I may do if I ever get the time to do so.
That's why I said if it made no mistakes it would offer strong evidence. We couldn't know it would never make a mistake, but the evidence would be wiggling its eyebrows suggestively.

Similarly, the presence of mistakes doesn't completely damn the assertion that there is a world model at play. The world model could simply be inaccurate.

All I'm saying is that since there are mistakes, we know for a fact there isn't an accurate world model at play. Absent that possibility, there's not compelling evidence to say anything about the nature OthelloGPT. It's the exact same kind of inscrutable as every other LLM.

Then why not just hardcode the answers?
Many humans suck ass at math too if they aren't taught it at all. chatGPT wasn't trained specifically on math but it can be. I don't see why it needs to be though given that computers already excel beyond humans at math.

Read this and tell me whether it's similar text: https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/

I cannot fathom how someone can read that and think that chatGPT is just making text that is coincidentally not bullshitty.
My larger point is, ChatGPT knows many things that the character doesn't necessarily know. You can anticipate some edge cases, but eventually the system will break in a significant way.
HDR just looks so weird and unnatural. Used wisely, it can peoduce great results, used everywhere it is just boring.
Anything PGP based is disqualified usually because of decrypting to the hard disk. This means that an attacker that can read files at the right moment can access the decrypted file. pass thankfully uses /dev/shm so you don't have to worry about the password making it to the unallocated parts of your hard disk where it can be read out via hardware access, so it needs to be an active attack, but still.
> America just literally banned abortion

This is simply not true.

While shootings get a lot of attention, the probability of getting shot is approximately zero.
Your chances of being shot outside of an inner city ghetto is so small as to be negligible. You've been brainwashed by sensationalist news. Meanwhile there are places in Japan that won't allow non-Japanese to enter.
Magic Cap, from the Magic Link to the DataRover and the stuff in-between
The religious nutters who banned abortion (edit: better put, eroded protections on it) are literally the same people who are trying to get everyone to focus on a severely overstated crime problem, as the grandparent comment did.

In fact you can point to Trump for both of these. On crime: He came in with his outdated world view shaped by 1980s New York complaining of "American carnage in our cities" at a time when crime was at a 25 year low. On abortion: Then he filled a few supreme court seats.
I've never heard this is the case, and if there was a secret deal that this was the case I think it would have been leaked years ago, but also it would be difficult for this to be the case and not have it be public knowledge because accounting details of large companies are something that is often inspected by news organizations and others on the lookout for something to complain about.

But maybe it can be that it is public knowledge and I'm one of the ten thousand who doesn't know? If so, do you have a link?

I think the OpenAI argument is overblown.

While I do agree that AI is going to bring a huge shake up to the search market, I still believe that Google is in the best position to fight this battle.

Realistically, given how fast the AI field improves month after month, do we think it will take long for Google to replicate a product similar to ChatGPT? I don't think so.

And then they are the company that's best suited to have this AI driven search in Android and Google search thus limiting the impact of this whole problem.

Sure, maybe Microsoft will deprive them of some developers that will look for information inside VS Code or their editor, and stuff like that, but overall I don't see Google going to suffer that much as long as they are able to answer the ChatGPT challenge in a meaningful time, something they should be easily able to do given their immense computational and data resources.
Definitely was a 286. I had a 486sx and loved the game. I took it over to a friend who had an 8086/88 but had a CD-ROM, which was quite cool at the time in the very early 90s. Even now, 30 years later, I remember the screen saying it needed a 286. He was crestfallen. It was the first time we experienced our computers being “different” other than the CD-ROM.
This is tangential, but still related: a few years ago I could buy disposable VISA cards which were these vouchers you bought in a store and were preloaded with a fixed amount. They didn't even have to be in your legal name.

I put the numbers on e-crime forums for people to snap up, and it was funny watching what kinds of transactions were being made. Most people were using it to buy cryptocurrency.

Most of the transactions were vague though and didn't mention the merchant in question, but with a bit of digging I discovered they were so called 'Discreet Billing' companies which are largely used for adult websites and used to mask the fact you were buying porn to people casually glancing at your CC statement.
> The causality could easily be the other way around.

Of course it could, though I've come to find this critique pretty weak when two people discuss a study that neither of them has read. You can say it about any topline conclusion about things that are correlated.

The driving factor could be something else - profitable companies could be more attractive to a diverse workforce.

Probably we oughta read the study. I was just pointing out that parent was looking for a business case for diversity in and of itself and seemed to have missed the one the article attempted to provide.

In what sense does HN have shadow banning (sort of)?
What parent meant to mean is that "the claim by some is that section 230 is bad/unconstitutional and should be removed".

It is very much also in Military space. It just that Microsoft may not be an appropriate fit for that space.
Except that America literally did not ban abortion.
Implying that I haven’t always been anti-copyright. How is either this comment or yours supposed to be productive?
> It seems a lot more like a compression algorithm with search as an interface than any kind of intelligence.

Intelligence probably is a form of compression with search. GPT just isn't intelligent enough yet, ie. doesn't compress enough or search well enough.
I probably could since I have my filesystem encrypted anyway and de facto do since my GPG keys are unlocked on login.
We already have multiple choice-style dialogue. It works just fine with traditional writing/recording techniques.

If you're not using it to dynamically compose responses to novel input, what's the point of using GPT for dialogue in the first place?
I don't see the big deal, they replaced IE with Edge and IE has been in the desktop since Win95.
This is pretty accurate. Fundamentally untrustworthy folks seem to have taken over the Fed and it's oversight.
I have no problems with non-realistic art forms. I think 12 FPS hand animation can look amazing, and the 12 FPS is part of the artistic expression. You're right, realism is absolutely not always the goal, and being unrealistic is sometimes the point.

But for the kind of movie that's supposed to take place in a world very much like ours? The kind where it's just a camera filming actors in a street or whatever, and there's no intentional impressionistic art style? An "impressionist" frame rate is totally inappropriate in such a context.

EDIT: I'd actually be very interested to know why people are downvoting this comment. I'm accepting that there can be artistic merit to low frame rates, but I'm rejecting the idea that impressionism should be forced on art which isn't trying to be impressionist. What's objectionable? (I see the comment is in the positive now, it was at -1 when I wrote the first edit)
Well to be honest Honey Tokens is being used since beginning of the 2000s, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeytoken. I personally implemented them in a Bank, 20 years ago, generating some fake credit cards number (and other information) and having them being monitored in AV, IDS, IPS, Antifraud solutions like browser extensions, google search and etc.. So maybe we can say that I'm a random infosec nerd, but i guess, I'm not the only one, just that people and companies preferred to make it in silence, to actually catch the bad guys out there. We actually were able to catch internal people selling data and we could understand some ways data used to flow and work pretty tight with the Police to intercept and bust criminal groups.
I don't think taken to this extreme this is true either.
Sure for a given film setup you could come up with a better digital setup but that doesn't mean every digital setup is strictly better now than what you'd use if digital wasn't an option.
and you could always construct some monstrosity of a camera that just throws more film at the problem to get a better result, though IMAX seems to be the limit of what people are willing to do on that front.
In my opinion things like selecting a training dataset and then writing prompts are not creative processes they are mechanical processes. Input in, output out, with barely any interaction from the human. >>> When it's bleeding edge research there is a ton of human creativity involved in developing the product and engineering the dataset.
Credit is very much given but the spirit of the original work is lost under the layers added over the top.
Abortion is technically illegal in Japan.
Hey there fellow Mac user! And thanks for testing it out - were you able to get it installed or is it still chugging along?

Yes I feel your pain with Homebrew which can take forever just to check for updates on installed packages, before it even gets to installing anything new.

I know the current installation method of having to first install Manim's dependencies is not ideal, but in most of my testing it was relatively painless.

However going forward I am going to be looking for ways to make it a single install instead of various steps that differ across platforms.
I'm apparently out of the loop enough to understand all the words in the article but still have no idea what it's talking about. From context, I'm getting that it's something to do with volunteering and needing anonymity and immunity for when you then accidentally allow terrorists recruit followers? And there already exists law number 230 for this but the lawsuit tries to get it declared invalid? Can someone share maybe a short comment on what actually is going on here?
From the article, what Reddit is arguing:

> “Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act famously protects Internet platforms from liability, yet what’s missing from the discussion is that it crucially protects Internet users—everyday people—when they participate in moderation like removing unwanted content from their communities, or users upvoting and downvoting posts,” a Reddit spokesperson told Ars.

> It makes the whole engine feel like a joke.

1000%. Multiplayer in UE5 (especially the documentation) feels like it's bad on purpose. Nevermind the actually crappy net code - Just try writing your own online services provider...

I've tried on many occasions to get excited about these engines and started a project with them. Unfortunately, when the entire realm of multiplayer feels half-assed my hopes are dashed catastrophically.

Right now, I am spending every moment of my free time developing my own game/engine from scratch. I honestly don't give a shit about Nanite, AAA graphics, et. al. Complex multiplayer experiences are far more compelling to me than raytraced graphics and sub-pixel triangles.

I think the exact nature of the net code is much more intimately linked to the game concept than anything in the rendering pipeline (for a multiplayer experience like Quake or Counterstrike). You will never get a perfect fit if you outsource this.
Motion perception is also affected by exposure time, not just framerate. Adding motion blur in post or intentionally increasing shutter duration to induce blur is still somewhat of a work in progress, so maybe you’ll eventually get what you want.

>he is not playing by the rules. It's definitional.

Sure but the question is: does the grandmaster know the rules?

Because if what you said is true:

>A model that "knows" the rules will make no errors, a model that makes any errors does not "know" the rules. Simple as.

Then the grandmaster doesn't know the rules. "Simple as".
The better question is why does RoR have references? The answer being that it is lead by a BDFL who is a showman and marketer. That is instilled into the RoR community, and why its homepage is a marketing site.

Django has always be slightly more understated in how it presents itself, and that also comes through it is community.

Neither approach is better than the other, they are just different.
>“the workplace is more important than the home”

Wait, are you saying that this is a western value?
I'll likely get judged for this, but I'm using a paid proprietary Windows Application (w/browser extensions) called "Cold Turkey" (no association, just a customer). It has Pomodoro Timers, but they're enforced, meaning you can blacklist out certain applications or websites during your "work" blocks and allow them during your free time. I'm doing 20/20 during the work-day, with an hour off for lunch.

I'll say this about that specific application: You can tell whoever created it, created it for themselves. What I mean by that is that they really gave a lot of thought into how people may try and disable or bypass it. For example there're different ways to lock your own rules, to stop you trying to remove your favorite website during the middle of a work-day.

As I said I'll get judged, but truthfully a lot of bad habits can use a helping hand to break. People just don't take social media (Reddit, HN, YouTube, et al) seriously as a potentially addictive habit.

PS - I won't link it since this already reads like an advert. It costs $40, the free version I don't consider useful and doesn't support Pomodoro Timers. Their privacy policy is legit, and the software outside of updates is offline.

This is itself it's own finetuned version of SD so now it won't work with alternative versions. img2img works by just running normal stable diffusion img2img on a noised starting image. As such it destroys information at all parts of the image equally. This new model uses attention mechanisms to decide which parts of the image are important to modify. It can leave parts of the image untouched while making drastic changes to other parts.
They also get to make arbitrary decisions with no accountability. Essentially, the site is their personal fiefdom. Why would they waste their time unless they are benefiting in some way?
There's probably selection bias in your experience. They may have come here for school because they were among those that disliked their native culture the most. They may have picked up American values and priorities after arrival etc.
