Think that depends heavily on what you consider to be a "composer" and what you consider to be "good" in both art and music.

Writing somewhat novel music to a formula arguably has a much lower skill bar than producing good representative art (especially if you allow sequencers as composition and disallow basic digital retouching of photos as visual art), but producing something that genuinely stands out may be harder
I had a tiny investment in ADANIENT stock that I sold the moment I read about the Hindenburg report. So, I contributed to the $45B!

The thing is Indian business environment is a big of a quagmire. It significantly helps that the legal system is wildly inefficient (and prone to influence by the powerful). Just look at the famous scandals and the frauds that got away with it…

The thing is the market regulator is still holding the cards. If any of these allegations are proven true, the key question would be whether the regulator failed at their job or worse colluded to let it happen. If so, it’s be a disaster for the Indian stock market. If not, I suppose frauds being frauds I guess.
Well, it's polarised training specifically. Either really low, or very intense.
My 87 year old father doesn't have a cell phone as they rarely have signal coverage when he goes out to maintain his section of the nearby 1,000 km walking track.

He does have an EPIRB and paper maps though.

Sounds like you just don't meet many elderly people.

The idea is that romantic relationships are a side-effect, pursuing them head-on is often the wrong approach. It is better to set up your life in a way that makes them more likely, and to forget about them being any sort of goal.

So yes, get hobbies that you are genuinely interested in, but cultivate ones that can be pursued in a more social way and that have a decent representation of the demographic you're interested in. Then be open and friendly, but don't actively look for romance. Get the rest of your life in order in that manner and it'll happen as a side-effect.

The problem of course is that it is easier done in certain cultures and environments than others. E.g. probably much easier in some slower university town in continental Europe than in some busy car-centric US city. Also easier if you have a more relaxed working life than a busy career with only barely enough free time to eat and sleep. And if people are generally are more open and social and are not all holed in in their apartments online.

Arguably, in a lot of the developed world the culture and the environment has become very unconducive for such things, especially in the last 15 years. Watching older European movies from the 70s, you can really see how much things have changed.
It is an emotional reaction. Logically these people know that Photoshop is very powerful without AI and they know that plenty of Artists need Photoshop to do their work, but they are not calling for a ban of Photoshop created art. They are calling for banning AI art because they are afraid

This is fair, but general economic health applies to every company in the economy, and this large cap tech company segment is both profitable and seemingly laying off employees at a higher rate than the economy as a whole. So that blame seems misplaced.

From a theoretical perspective at this level of scale the number of engineers in particular does not scale with the ebb and flow of the selling of ads to the degree of the layoffs. Many were for divisions that were not related to ads, except for getting funded by them.

Obviously if there is not funding for these other divisions because the ad business dries up there would be large cuts, but these companies are still very very profitable even on lower ad sales. So perhaps they did not have a positive ROI, and that is fine, but a far different reason than waving vaguely at interest rates.
Yes, I don't use either of them. But there is a link to news on Buzzfeed.com, so I assume there is a certain level of mix between the different contents for the readers?
When I went to my first computer fair as a teenager, I saw the Sun Microsystems booth and was blown away by the fantastic logo. As I had never seen a Unix machine before, I didn’t know what to do with the computers on display, though.
It will be as good as the music it's trained on, no better and probably no worse.
It matters for two reasons I can see:

* Is this function monomorphised for each type passed in or is the argument passed in as a trait object? If the latter, does it implicitly fall back to monomorpisation if the trait is not Object-safe(e.g. it takes or return `Self` by ownership)? How do we specify which of the two to use when we need to for performance reasons?

* Let's say we have a function with two inputs: `func foo(a: SomeTrait, b: SomeTrait)` How do I specify that both inputs must be the same type?
You're basically describing Swift:

public func read(path: URL) throws -> Array<UInt8> {
let file = try FileHandle(forReadingFrom: path)
let bytes = try file.readToEnd() ?? Data()
return Array(bytes)
}

Yes, the example above is not generic and not even idiomatic Swift, but it's a good glimpse into how Rust could look like.

Hopefully someday Swift would become more safe, less tied to ObjC legacy and actually cross-platform. It's a shame that such a nice language is basically Apple-only.
Your changes made in the last ten years would still be your exclusive monopoly so your revenue would probably not change much if you really have been continously developing it.

But even if this would destroy your business model, that doesn't mean it would not be a good idea for society as a whole. Business models become obsolete all the time. If there is enough demand for your software, you will be able to fund the development of it even without might-as-well-be-perpetual exclusive control.
VR ping pong (Elevens) and VR mini golf (Walkabout Mini Golf) are awesome.

Feels pretty damn close to the real thing, close enough I think skills gained there would translate to the physical game. And you don't need good weather, have to travel, or have to wait for other players to play the mini golf.

Also being a video game allows Walkabout to do some courses that just wouldn't be feasible (not physically possible or too expensive to build) in real life, like the Myst puzzle one, or that one hole that's based on M.C. Escher's Relativity that alters gravity depending on where your ball is at.

Still need to play them multiplayer, but I want to. I watched a game played in VR which was basically an interview with the creator of Myst and that was a lot of fun[1]. I think this is what you're referring to, meetings being more fun over a game of mini-golf than just a Zoom call.

I assume that I understand your point and probably even agree with the sentiment, however the content itself appears to be saying, "Don't sign contracts", or, "Don't work for other people." Granted, that's from a mostly USA-based perspective.

I've agreed to some terms because I didn't actually care whether they were enforced, because I was pretty confident the company couldn't or at least wouldn't do anything about it, or because my life circumstances didn't supply the luxury of choice.

Understanding the potential consequences and "why those may be bad" is useful, and prodding companies/governments to move away from that stuff is awesome, but "don't do that" isn't necessarily an option in many (most) contexts.
I remember an old segment of a news show (It may have been 60 Minutes, I used to watch that, a lot), in the 1980s, that featured a New York "artist." He was a fairly "cliché"-looking chap (Two-tone punk hairdo, whacky sunglasses, obnoxious dress, etc.), and he was quite smug that he didn't paint any of the work attributed to him.

He hired minimum-wage people to do the work, and he spent all his time, schmoozing and going to parties, where he would evangelize it.

Apparently, he did quite well.

As an artist, myself[0], that had struggled to sell anything, I found it rather offensive.

They could have used put options or Credit Default swaps.
>UX is far more convenient, and would only be made worse by imposing a physical metaphor

Convenience is contextual and no doubt the way 2D WIMP screens have been built work and will keep working, but nesting that in a 3D experience makes new room for new feature interactions to complement the same datasets with more interface layers doing things you just can't do with real world physics.
I would love to see the data they used to make these decisions, because as a sample in the set, it seems stupid to me. I cancelled my subscription over this, meanwhile I would have happily paid double to have them continue production.

I really doubt that they maximized EV here...
I think the reason that Python made it this far is that from the beginning it had a very well-documented and capable C interface.

From this, people started making lots of libraries that accelerated code and provided bindings to other software.

At a certain point the ecosystem reached a critical mass, and the rest is history.
Its only a problem with certain large chains, but they are often set up so that they automatically charge you every month and it is very hard to cancel. If a gym doesn't accept cash and demands you pay by credit card, that's a huge red flag. Also check reviews of the gym before you sign up. And of course, actually read the contract before signing. They can waive certain clauses if you confront them. And if they don't, there are plenty of small gyms to chose from.
So basically when you make a mistake, and the other person makes a mistake, it means that the other person is liar but you're just making a mistake. Got it.

This conversation is going to end here. You are simply not worth debating against. You're just a huge troll and are wasting everyone's time by acting like this.

What you are implying is not super clear. Are you saying that the French nationalizations [1], which btw predate the emergence of democracy in 1789, are somehow signs of an autocratic system?

If you look at the Fifth Republic, most of the nationalizations in France happened under socialist governments, democratically elected, and with a mandate to do so from the population. Even the more rightwing French governments follow similar rules and nationalize companies to protect them and their workers (for instance from takeovers), or protect from foreign influence (and not just from countries with more imperialistic tendencies, for instance Italy for the ports).

Nothing of the sort applies here. France, its population and and government, would almost certainly approve of a nationalization in the first place if it were to protect their interests. But these Soitec changes seem relatively innocuous, and some of the claims are really paranoiac. For instance believing that a former CEA employee or administrator would continue to work undercover while at another company.

Of course France is a democratic country and thus its interests often conflate with the ones of its citizens. Nothing would prevent them from administering a company in a way that best suits their vision of the world, quite often matching a government perspective without any concertation.

I think the "boost your immune system" things are just common deficiencies in modern people.

If most people don't get enough vitamin C or D in regular life, then the advice to boost their immune system with a sufficient does to be non-deficient would function to boost their immune system to a normally healthy level.
You do post it in every one of these threads :). I respect your persistence!!
Does prison reduce crime? Yes, obviously
The argument I was anticipating (having seen it before) was that it widens the surface area, it's another thing (and its packaging/distribution) to trust, so one might feel that there's more harm/risk from that than the good (finding other issues) they expect it to achieve.
I've often thought the same. I've recently been reading "Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World" it's not only the history of the factory but the history of Labour with relation to capital and industry, I'm only up to Henry Ford at the moment, but it's a good read and puts these questions in a different light. In short its the money, these systems are designed to minimise risk, worker happiness is not a priority, any conditions are only gained by worker actions of some sort.
I feel the bigger issue is that one could assign each email to a chat and have ChatGPT actually respond to emails/comments with realistic reply's making the original email seem far more believable.
These AIs will only ever be as good as what gets fed into them. It follows that without something going in, they will output nothing. That source material will always be human in nature, at least until these neural networks get large enough for emergent consciousness to exist, at which point we might see actual creativity from a machine.

An AI without new inputs to consume will not evolve creatively, and you will get bored of its output quite quickly, I think.
My grandmother noticed graffiti tags, which are very ornate generally, and concluded that they were written in arabic.
I agree that this is a bad scheme, but I think the hash rounds do serve a purpose, which is to protect from sites with no/weak hashing. If a list of passwords gets leaked, it will be intractable to derive your secret from your password.

But it gives you no good way to rotate an individual password if it gets leaked, and no good way to systematically rotate the secret if that gets leaked, since you’ll have to remember every site you used it on.

Contrast that with a password manager, where rotating a single password is trivial, and rotating your entire vault is painful but straightforward.
Ten years is an eternity when it comes to software. But yes, software developers (and other people creating things covered under copyright) are overvalued compared to those creating physical things. And that valuation is created entirely due to IP law. How is that fair?
The formulation of their AI policy is a bit too general. "Created with AI" could apply to both, form and content. Does using a spell/grammer checker count as using AI?

My main concern is with the content, because we're more experienced with the failure modes of humans when interpreting information. I like the other approach shown in the post, which is to cite an AI as you would with any other source. Best include the prompt then, which is also the best way when citing humans. Knowing which model generated the content on what prompt would at least enable some judgement on biases etc. which are present in the response.

Looking forward to the first AI-only interview magazine.
Still I've never heard of anyone with a smartphone who only takes it out for a daily call.

I don't have an account because they require a phone number to create an account, but if I had an account, I would be most curious to see its response to this prompt.

(OpenAI ignores your emails if you ask about creating an account without a phone number. I wonder why they really want those phone numbers…)
I'm flattered by the outreach, thank you. I just update my profile.
Buzzfeed has been pumping out so much meaningless content that I doubt it changes much. They already scrape so much content from /r/askreddit that it might as well be automated already, now they can auto generate the fluff text between citations.

Blogs have been becoming less and less relevant to me over the years as companies shifted to creating content for the sake of traffic. Some tech blogs have some really interesting posts, hidden in a sea of glorified Getting Started tutorials.
Still looks good for Apple.

- 18.3% Drop in the holiday quarter for the sector, but 14.9% drop for Apple.

How are the pins broken out in tinytapeout? Does everyone get the same board. Or do you just get the board with your bit of silicon hooked up?
This has been a long time coming. Many congratulations.
It's only through careful configuration that the loss of the discriminator and of the generator are balanced to be able to improve gradually together.
It's much easier for one loss to explode while the other goes to zero, breaking the training of the GAN.

So the GAN training scheme is not a setting that holds for the real-life cat and mouse game of generated content detection. It's almost trivial to break a trained model whose weights you have.
And AWS VPN Client. It leaves a tiny plaintext page open saying 'you can now close this tab' or similar, there's absolutely no reason you wouldn't, I don't understand why they don't just include the tiny amount of JS to do it itself.
Indeed. Nobody should be using the desktop versions of these apps.
I like experimenting with different lifestyles to see how I feel. Most of the times there are too many variables to make conclusions. Anyway, I tried going vegetarian for few weeks, then introduced fish to diet and felt noticeably better. Then, I tried remove fish and take fish oil instead. Felt absolutely no benefits. At-least feeling wise. I repeated this experiment multiple times so I am sure it isn't coincidence

The "This is just Luddites 2.0" sentiments are amusing in a sad way, because they seem to be expressed primarily by people who appear to be positioned well enough to readily understand why this is going to go horribly wrong.
Milk sold in the US almost always has vitamin D added to it, because presumably Americans don't get enough sunlight to produce sufficient amounts.

Instant noodles sold in Japan almost always have vitamins B1 and B2 added to them, for presumably similar reasons.

Something that the pandemic has rammed home with my wife and I is just how poor the out of home dining experience is in general. The food is lackluster, the ambiance is awful, being surrounded by other people eating is terrible (my wife is a quiet talker and being fat always makes eating in public a shameful experience), so we'd MUCH rather eat at home. The quality of the ingredients are far higher, the food is tastier (my wife is an amazing and experimental cook), and we don't have to yell to be heard. We eat out when we're traveling but thats about it. Eating at home is better in every way.
Lot of issues can be autoimmune related. Goal is to calm down the immune system. Not boost it. This is where basics like getting away from sugar are so important.
The scoping is bad, they should have copied Perl's "every block is a new scope" and added an explicit "let" keyword to define variables instead of overloading assignment. The "nonlocal" and "global" and stuff like "lambda x=x" is a big giveaway that their approach was wrong, but I guess it was too late to change it.

The typing has been great in my experience. Most of my deps have types and if they don't I can autogenerate them. The powerful typing of TypeScript is mostly not needed if you're not interacting with JS code.
A typical Medium post might include two (perhaps three, if you're lucky) paragraphs of low quality content and a few snippets of code which were helpfully provided as screenshots instead of text. Punctuate that with some boilerplate about the author's Twitter account and that's pretty much all you're getting.

Maybe I'm generalizing just a tiny bit, but my god, it's full of crap. If I were Medium I would be doing everything I could to encourage AI authored content.

> "and which are never imposed"

I'm not sure about that part. Even if one personally ignores something new, someone else within the same project or a dependency will employ the new shiny, and invent one or a couple more ways of doing the same thing in a different way.

That means if it's in the language, you'll have to account for it. Not saying Python is, but given enough new features a language may become a kitchen sink of ideas over time.

(At the risk of contradicting myself a bit here, I actually agree with the features you mentioned here are all nice to have, and I like using them. IDK if nice to have is a high enough barrier to clear though.)
if you're trying to build a product, code is a liability. not sure that an esoteric codebase is the best signal to candidates that the bottom line is solving problems for stakeholders, rather than beautiful code.
It’ll vary depending on the person (e.g. a single 20-something has a lot more time than a 30-something parent) so I’d put it in relative terms: replacing console/PC gaming or Netflix. I was in particular thinking of how many people I’ve heard comment that they thought they’d use their VR headset more but it was just enough extra hassle that it stayed on the shelf.

This ties back to the price question: this currently costs noticeably more than console or even PC gaming, both of which are more social. A mainstream product needs to offer something you don’t get there to justify the extra money.
Congratulations, we have reinvented stock trading.
Languages like Python and TypeScript support 'any' as a type, so you can always opt out of strong typing if you want. Most of the time generics are preferable to things randomly dying at runtime though.
