The problem is that it also seems highly unlikely that a respiratory disease that primarily attacks lungs, results in long-term depression.

Whataever physiological connection exists there, is far from obvious. And I haven’t found concrete studies to explain it.
Why didn't I ever think of this.

This is great and really makes things way simpler. Thanks!

Note how many hetero "open relationships" are initiated by the male half, and how often those fail.

Women generally don't like sharing their partner with competition. (Neither do most men. Threesomes men pursue are almost always MFF, not MMF.)

None of this is surprising.

> a future where artists don't make original art, musicians don't make music, book writers don't write, and so on, all because AI companies can replicate 1000 different copies in their style

This argument is assuming its own conclusion, that such a situation must be bad. But I don't think that's necessarily true.

If somebody can make 1000 different derivatives that the public likes as much as the originals, then it must be that in whatever criteria the public is interested in, these works are just as good. If they were inferior, the public wouldn't accept them as substitutes. The fact that they are (hypothetically) accepted indicates that the public is OK with them.

For my own personal aesthetics, I would like to think that today's popular music, which is written by some combination of algorithm and committee, and produced through tools that correct the performance via autotune, quantization, etc., is inferior to the music that I enjoy. But given that the public seems to like this music (and indeed, they like music generated this way even though it's not even cheaper for them to consume) seems to say that we as a society are getting what they want, and who am I to put a normative judgment on that?
> Do you want to live in a future where artists don't make original art, musicians don't make music, book writers don't write, and so on, all because AI companies can replicate 1000 different copies in their style or merely remix it for marginally $0 cost, washed of all original copyright?

Yes, much in the same way that I am glad I live in a future where scribes aren't required to put text on paper: There is a massive amount of efficiency to be gained and enjoyment to reap for everyone who doesn't happen to be employed as an artist.

Reading these comments reminds me of how old (and jaded?) I am. We saw the same thing in previous recession-type environments (2000, 2008, etc).

Layoffs suck-they hurt everyone involved (except maybe for the shareholders?) and are a big big deal for each individual that it affects.

That being said, it doesn't take a genius to see that they are very useful from a company perspective. Given how difficult it is to fire underperformers, layoffs allow them to cut a huge swathe of underperformers (and, realistically, people they don't like) without opening themselves up to endless litigation. Yes, the justification can be as simple as "the economy looks like there is an economic downturn and see? the other companies in our industry are doing it too."

Smart companies treat it as a tool and use it sparingly, dumb companies over use it and kneecap themselves for the future.

And even if they did, that doesn't mean covid didn't physically cause it. HIV for example can cause depression by physically damaging the brain.

the "AI" part is mostly for accessibility. The block matching game adjusts its difficulty using RL, and the match-3 figures game has "autoplay" mode also powered by RL. Both modes exist to make the playing experience a bit easier:
I wonder if, despite not being a benefit, they avoid a worse outcome at the same time? perhaps the evidence can distinguish those, not sure. It seems like if "not a benefit" means "the stock or performance or profitability didn't go up"... well, I think stock prices are a very trailing indicator of the health the company, since executives are incentivized to pamper over anything bad about it. So the layoffs may reflect the fact that "things have been bad for a while" and thus the metrics staying flat would imply that they would have gone down if they _hadn't_ done it.
i have jenn air appliances and tried to connect to my dishwasher solely because i was curious as to why anyone would want their dishwasher to be connected to the internet. i could never get it to actually work, so i am still in the dark as to what i am missing out on in the world of internet connected dishwashers.
You can make up whatever rules you want and say "Period" afterward for emphasis. That doesn't make those rules real or relevant to how movies are made.
Expertise takes time to acquire. I’m skeptical of people who claim to be experts in too many things

While I believe this is true, the problem with the statement is that these resumes and candidates are not claiming expertise; they are listing skills. Basically "I've used this in my work before." That information probably isn't very useful (that you used Jupyter or Git), but the resumes in question are trying to cover all the bases.

Such a helpful comment. Just in this one note, I learned a few things about Docker that I had no idea about:

1) a layer is essentially a docker image in itself and

2) a layer is as static as the image itself

3) Docker images ship with all layers

Thanks jchw!
I think incel is as much about involuntary celibate as antisemitism is against semitic languages.

Incels are a hate group only vaguely related to celibate. And legalizing prostitution (something I am for) will probably do as good to that group as language lessons would do against antisemitism as we know it today.
> Why are there fewer voters who would vote for denser housing for themselves while inflicting some pain on NIMBYs, than the NIMBY voters?

Because wealth predicts propensity to vote.

(Also, to the extent decisions are made locally, the people that would live in area but are excluded by housing affordability don’t get a vote. In fact, often a major reasons for the NIMBY policies isn't financial, but keeping the outsiders outside. For instance, when you've got a nice segregated community created by overtly racist policies that you are no longer allowed to employ, the main way to slow the erosion of what you worked so hard to achieve is to make it hard for new people to move in.)
Largely fitness level and attention to appearance (very-nice well-kept haircuts, probably a little male use of makeup, that kind of thing). Skin care routines (say, consistency of applying sunscreen and wearing hats when outdoors, from early ages on) can vary wildly with local cultural norms and, notably, with class-related socialization, with the result that some cohorts have much nicer skin in middle age than others.

Plus I've been in a few cities where, frankly, it just looks like the gene pool's exceptionally good.

[EDIT] Oh and stuff like serious hair-loss treatments and plugs and such, and skin blemish removal, short of full-on plastic surgery. I can just about guarantee those are more common in rich areas and richer cities than in poorer areas and poorer cities.

I agree. Blows my mind that I was downvoted so hard on my factual comment. But it is HN.
Open world RPGs are going to get really weird. I'm looking forward to the version of Grand Theft Auto where you can abandon the main quest chain, meet a nice quirky NPC with a really great sense of humor, and raise a family together. Maybe get involved in local government or do some volunteer work.
Bit of a tangent. I'm irked by comments such as this, that are mildly related but add not much value to the discussion besides a shameless plug for their own products.

Fwiw

It obviously doesn't apply to all women, but that's really what we're talking about here.

Absolutely fair. The vendors have gotten much much better tech "in the room" as it were - CT's are lightning fast anymore, US is clearer and can do more on-the-fly analysis than ever before (e.g. highlighting bloodflow dynamically and capturing tons of data in microseconds), etc. Every modality has grown tremendously so my comment wasn't nearly fair enough in acknowledging that.

Downstream is getting better with items such as AI advancements and more sophisticated mechanisms to transfer data between systems both on-prem and cloud-based, however utilization of all of this tend to be stifled a ton by the standard issue of tech moving faster than policy. My frustration/disgruntlement is due to this issue more than anything.

Thanks for the insight and the reminder that my bubble of experience isn't the world - seriously.
> If the image is freely viewable (say you can browse to it), and you just look at it, are you violating any rights?

The fundamental issue with this line of argument is that it equates the process of human vision and the consequences of that with that of a computer program ingesting that image and the consequences of that.

This anthropomorphization seems like a form of deep fallacy when considering the nature and impact of AI software. In the case of "seeing" an image, the two processes could not be any more unlike each other, both in content and context.

A macOS command-line "multi-tool" for working with Apple Photos. Allows you to export photos (along with all the metadata), batch-edit metadata such as times and timezones, explore the AI metadata Apple computes for each photo (but doesn't make available to the user) such as "well timed shot", "pleasant composition", etc, compare libraries, sync metadata between libraries, and much more! It's written in python and provides a full python API for interacting with Photos.
I'm sure they'll just throw error messages until they've managed to establish a connection. Device manufacturers have already shown they'd rather cripple your devices than respect your wishes.

Just so I understand...two stimmy checks are to blame for inflation and product shortages? I know this is a popular talking point, but there needs to be some facts to back this up. Supply chains were wrecked by shipping container shortages due to bottlenecking at ports as well as factory shutdowns. There are proven instances where businesses increased prices just because they could.
So the experience I've seen is quite different: Family courts today are actually really focused on joint custody, to the extent that I guarantee you a lot of people have joint custody who probably shouldn't. If someone has a TRO and is banned from seeing their kids, there's a good chance a court has a really strong case to believe that person is violent and abusive.

And I think a lot of the hostility that does come from divorce starts with the belief it shouldn't happen or "isn't fair". If I accept that my wife has the right to divorce me if I'm a bad partner, if she does, the first thing I have to acknowledge is that I failed as a husband at meeting her needs (or perhaps that we are incompatible in a way that I never could do so). That would be absolutely crushing, but I wouldn't blame her for it, and if I blame myself, I am probably not going to end up communicating in that procedure in a way the court would feel I am not safe to share custody with.

Accepting that both parties have the right to exit, and that a relationship is a process of continual consent changes the entire dynamic.

Also: Child support, or even alimony, is a recognition that in a marriage, the income may be produced by a single party, even if the overall roles and responsibilities were divided equally. If someone is a stay-at-home-partner, they may not be bringing in the cash income, but they are still 50% of the effort of operating that family unit as they tend to take on more responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning and child rearing which all need to be done by someone. When a marriage ends, the low-income partner cannot necessarily immediately shift into self-sufficient career mode, and obviously the child should be seeing the necessary financial support they would have, so the income of the two parents needs to be compared with where the child spends most of their time (and hence, incurs the most expenses).
Can't believe we're still having this debate. There are indeed risks to the vaccine. There are also risks to covid (both immediate and longer term). My understanding based on the research is that for the vast majority of the population the sum of the risks of vaccine plus (usually) a milder case of covid are materially lower than the risks of getting covid if you're unvaccinated.

A vaccine doesn't have to stop you getting something to reduce your risk of serious illness, death and possibly long covid.
> As in, for women the sexual transaction is big serious deal.

If that truly were the case, you wouldn't see 5% of these hypersexual men monopolizing 50% of sex (as the paper says). Or maybe many women like intentionally putting themselves in harem-like situation, if in exchange they get to have sex with "hot men". Overall, it's a deplorable state of affairs.
Recently I set up a miniflux instance with the intention of using it as a backend for newsboat. I'd been using newsboat on its own for a while and I liked it, but wanted my feeds accessible on other devices. Turns out I liked miniflux's UI so much that I didn't even bother finishing setting up newsboat to be its frontend. Now I'm 100% miniflux, using the web app on both desktop and mobile.
AI gives an artist a ticket to a lottery that can strongly boost their name without doing any additional service.

Fame has a very short half-life and unless you have all the licensing/contractual machinery in place beforehand, you probably won't be able to cash on that boost. The line of thinking you articulate here is extremely familiar to anyone who does creative work. It's the same argument that producers use to get people to work for free or cheap on films, that broadcast or streaming services use to justify very low payouts to content creators, that commercial commissioners use to try and get art for free etc. The creative field is absolutely full of promoters who offer to match artist to audience, with the promoters getting the first cut of ticket sales and the artist getting the last or none.

Besides, attribution is naturally built into those "plagiarist" prompts for AI.

Only if you are already kinda famous. Suppose you have a distinctive visual style that's a great fit with a genre, like ghost stories. I, an unscrupulous publisher, note that the market for ghost stories is currently booming and decide to buy, or perhaps generate from AI, and bunch of mediocre ghost stories, and then publish them with 'art in the style of scotty79.' I make a little app offering 'best new ghost stories every day!!' for $1, put it in app stores, and make $7 million before the ghost story fad runs its course. You get nothing, and consumers who got familiar with your style by paying $1 or looking at ads to use my app don't care about you because I never gave you credit and in their mind the style is associated with Best Daily Ghost Stories, not you.

Maybe a few of them will do the work of combing back through the history of the fad and to find which artists influenced the 'daily ghost story' aesthetic. Maybe this will lead to a revival of interest in your work even though the fad it was associated with has come and gone. Good luck with that.

The dirty secret of the creative industries is that if you don't get paid up front for your contribution, you will probably never get paid at all.
I don't think these protocols are quite comparable to a Twitter-like "town square" model, so they don't have the same problems. But where they overlap, they do some "censorship": SMTP will delete spam, XMPP servers will kick out spammers and harassers.

The problem with Twitter is that unlike RSS, it shows content from people you did not subscribe to (e.g. you get replies, you see strangers' replies to your friend's posts). The content is public, so unlike e-mail, receiving abuse is not just your private problem, but a problem for the network's image and reputation.

But in either case, when normal users (not righteous keyboard warriors) find some content to be horrible, they don't want to see it. If they keep being bombarded with unwanted content, they leave. For Mastodon/Twitter/Gab that may be "political" content, but the problem in general is similar to spam.
How does them being a securities exchange in any way affect the analysis of their software engineering practices? They're not some special snowflake, they can suffer the same software engineering and business process issues as other companies.
Ask HN: How to mitigate MySQL data corruption after upgrade?
Ask HN: How to mitigate MySQL data corruption after upgrade? (BEWARE 8.0.31)

We got bitten by an upgrade MySQL 8.0.31: https://repost.aws/questions/QUZZaycd4OSY2k8iLNVFuXvA/data-corruption-with-rds-my-sql-8-0-31 -- and that version is still live as of now, so beware.

MySQL 8.0.29 had issues so bad that it was pulled: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.0/en/news-8-0-29.html

So multiple recent MySQL versions have had data corruption bugs that got through all of their validation, as well as validation that cloud providers such as AWS RDS do before providing it to upgrade.

The only solution to a corruption issue that gets through validation is bad, either:
- Point In Time Recovery back to before the upgrade, which means an outage and loosing data since the upgrade
- mysql_force_recovery, mysqldump, and build a new server in an older version

Is there any way to mitigate against a data corruption issue in the first place? My first thought would be to leave a read replica with the older version so it can be promoted in case the primary database crashes, but that's noted as "not supported" by MySQL and RDS forces upgrading the replicas before the primary, so even though it might work, it's not a solution on RDS.

Any other possibilities I'm not thinking of?
Classes at the community college probably more useful these days.

That blog post is -- and this is putting it charitably -- so horribly misguided and confused I hardly know where to begin.

I'll just say:

> being a disagreeable or even abusive partner is positively correlated with sexual success

Citation needed. That blog post does not provide anything resembling evidence of your claim.

For your sake, I hope you're not basing your views on sites like that.
That's because 80% of the women are chasing 20% of the men.

Okcupids data showed this in nice clear charts.

The numbers invert as you get closer to 40. Single women at 40 are desperate, single men at 40 have a jaded, and quite accurate, view of the majority of women.
Aha! But that's the point. A 2 minute conversation can convey a lot about the person which a glance at a profile (or algorithmic filter) never could. That can produce the interest or chemistry.

Well, it would definitely be enough to cripple your exports because nobody would buy from you any more. You might want to re-calibrate your imagination.
People have been having a lot less sex for a while now. I think technology is largely to blame, too. We're so accustomed to things being served up for us that the ability to function outside that specific setting has atrophied.

We've become more connected than ever, but we're more singular and selfish than ever. This is worse with generations that have had an internet-connected computer in from of them their whole life, especially in the social media era (studies show). I expect people to be getting more and more neurotic and weird.

I think also that the effects of internet porn really can't be underestimated. There's something emasculating about one of humanity's ultimate drives being sated with a couple of mouse clicks. Then look at what is delivered: it's not sex, it's not even a depiction of sex, it's a depiction of a simulacra of sex. Generally speaking, porn divorces us from our own sexuality. Instead of exploring and developing our own sexuality with others, we're served the depiction of others performing for the camera and we get that in our heads. If you think that doesn't impact your sex life or sexuality I don't know what to say.
Completely feel the same way, except I attribute it to losing my job offer due to lockdowns (pulling the financial rug out from under me for months), being isolated from friends and family members for years, losing all access to outlets other than TV and video games or whatever else I could do inside, and the constant stream of news about how the world was on fire and we're all hopeless to stop it.

It doesn't take a novel virus to see how many people would feel pretty aimless and disillusioned after that.
Last Christmas one of my nephews was gifted a noisy baby toy. I don't know what are his goals and constraints, but he's still training with it. Must have learned a lot by now.
Rails is a huge framework. I remember using capistrano to deploy it on many servers, and that was much harder than with containers today.

The issue is how much RoR does and how tightly it is with its build toolchain - gems often require ways of building C code, whatever you use to build assets has its own set of requirements, there is often ffmpeg or imagemagik dependency. In my opinion, a lot of the issues are from Ruby itself being Ruby.

I agree that it's silly for such productive framework to be such PITA to deploy. To be fair, I pick RoR deployment over node.js deployment any day. I still not sure how to package TS projects correctly.
You can build software on protocols like this.

Your analogy fails at the mere fact that no physical harm can result from Nostr not solving this one thing you think is 100% necessary.

The fact that Nostr is up and running and working is the undeniable fact that you don't NEED to solve every single problem known to humankind before you write some lines of code.
