phoenix has been the inspiration for a lot of stuff comming out of the other frameworks.

phoneix channels -> django channels and actvecable but phoenix's version is much more powerful

liveview -> livewire, hotwire. both are copies of liveview but neither of them are as powerful since only liveview can spinup a persistent thread PER user allowing active stateful sessions that can push and recieve events from the client.
I don’t get this mentality. From a meta level, Confluent isn’t profitable. In this environment, what would you have Confluent to do?

The second point, a job is always transactional, you exchange labor for money and at any given time, either party can stop that transaction

Also, if you are a tech person in any major city in the US, you are more than likely making at least twice the median wage in that city. If others can survive making half of what you’re making, you should be able to save enough to weather a brief storm.

Of course I understand things are different if you are here on H1B.
Why Video Content Is Imperative for Your Website’s Success
We don't need to make assumptions though. I use Brave search and barely see any ads. Google has the market dominant position and it's so many ads that it impairs the quality of results. Which is why I stopped using it.

So no, your assumption has proven to be incorrect.
Show HN: I created a collection of useful websites
Hey all!

Super excited to share this! If you're familiar with the r/InternetIsBeautiful sub-reddit, then you'll enjoy this.

I built the website as a fun side project project over the weekend, and it re-imagines what r/internetisbeautiful would be if it was a newsletter.

It's meant to be a completely free and community generated resource of the most interesting, useful and awesome websites from the depths of the internet.

The list is tiny right now and I would love to hear your recommendations of websites that you think we should include.

Hope you enjoy it, and would love to hear any feedback you might have.

Quick question > Should we keep the "internetisbeautiful.co" domain or use a different one? It's meant to be a h/t and show of appreciation.
You can do multi-shot, which reduces the need for a good prompt upfont.
How long before these models actually produce funny outcomes on a regular basis? Many people think we're going to see a quick explosion of improvement, but I think we're still many years away from these models actually understanding language. I could be wrong, but wondering what you all think
It looks like an useful tool, thank you! It looks like it's written in JS and has several dependencies so for security reasons I'd run it on a separate box to minimize blast radius.
I was snatched up in an entrapment scheme by the Bronx police a decade or so ago. They waited for a bad rainy day, knowing the subway flooded badly, then put police tape around the turnstyles and opened the emergency gates wide open. As the hundreds of people followed each other down the tunnel the insticnt of everyone was to follow everyone else walking past, assuming the flooding broke the turnstyles. Fast forward 10min when the train shows up. The cops stopped the train, closed the exits and rounded up everyone issuing them 100$ tickets.

I fought it. The courtroom had people, mainly minorities, in a line all around the block in winter time. It was a money generating racket, preying on the poorest citizens who could not afford a $100 ticket, to loose a day of work,let alone a lawyer.

I was the only one there with a letter written by my lawyer. When it was my turn and they saw I had a lawyer ready to fight they dismissed my case with no explanation. Shameless.

Everyone takes a plea deal and they just extract millions from us. The courts, lawyers, the police.

Do not take plea deals! Fight them. Grind the courts, force them to work for it. Hold them accountable. I cant WAIT for ai to make them obsolete.
Obvious question in hindsight, was this related to the layoffs that just got announced?
I know this is not really in the spirit of the question, as asked. But an important consideration after having spent countless hours over many years building “MVPs” that ultimately go nowhere.

Hire a PHP/LAMP dev for $10/hour or less (or whatever is cheap and good enough) + something like digital ocean. Communicate effectively the features and milestones and project manage but mainly Spend my time on growth

I’m at a point where I can’t fathom writing a ton of code myself when I am trying to start a business. Programming is a hobby that I enjoy, but my time as an entrepreneur is more valuable elsewhere. Most likely I’ll find the business’s largest hurdle earlier and, it’s probably not a technical one. Then I can decide if it’s something I want to pursue or pivot to something else.
Possibly, but even if that were the case, it would protect NovelAI, not Stability.

The closest analogue I can think of would be copyrighting a Magic: The Gathering deck. Robert Hovden did that[0], and somehow convinced the Copyright Office to go along with it. As far as I can tell this never actually got court-tested, though. You can get a thin copyright on arrangements of other works you don't own, but a critical wrinkle in that is that an MTG deck is not merely "an arrangement of aesthetically pleasing card art". The cards are picked because of their gameplay value, specifically to min-max a particular win condition. They are not arrangements, but strategies.

Here's the thing: there is no copyright in game rules[1]. Those are ideas, which you have to patent[2]. And to the extent that an idea and an expression of that idea are inseparable, the idea part makes the whole uncopyrightable. This is known as the merger doctrine. So you can't copyright an MtG deck that would give you de-facto ownership over a particular game strategy.

So, applying that logic back to the training set, you'd only have ownership insamuch as your training set was selected for a particular artistic result, and not just "reducing the loss function" or "scoring higher on a double-blind image preference test".

As far as I'm aware, there are companies that do creatively select training set inputs; i.e. NovelAI. However, most of the "generalist" AI art generators, such as Stable Diffusion, Craiyon, or DALL-E, were trained on crawled data without much or any tweaking of the inputs[3]. A lot of them have overfit text prompts, because the people training them didn't even filter for duplicate images. You can also specifically fine-tune an existing model to achieve a particular result, which would be a creative process if you could demonstrate that you picked all the images yourself.

But all of that only applies to the training set list itself; the actual training is still noncreative. The creativity has to flow through to the trained model. There's one problem with that, though: if it turns out that AI training for art generators is not fair use, then your copyright over the model dissolves like cotton candy in water. This is because without a fair use argument, the model is just a derivative work of the training set images, and you do not own unlicensed derivative works[4].

[1] Which is also why Cory Doctorow thinks the D&D OGL (either version) is a water sandwich that just takes away your fair use rights.

[2] WotC actually did patent specific parts of MTG, like turning cards to indicate that they've been used up that turn.

[3] I may have posted another comment in this thread claiming that training sets are kept hidden. I had a brain fart, they all pull from LAION and Common Crawl.

[4] This is also why people sell T-shirts with stolen fanart on it. The artists who drew the stolen art own nothing and cannot sue. The original creator of that art can sue, but more often than not they don't.

It's because during a normal diet, you wouldn't encounter sufficient amounts of nuts to equate to that amount of nut oil, causing imbalance in your body as you're essentially concentrating the value of a lot of a specific nut. It helps to think about it in comparison to animal fats. Caveman-you had plenty of access to animal fats, and though vegetables were common, it was not likely that they'd be consumed in such high amounts to equal that level of plant fats. One your body is used to, made for, and expecting to encounter and process, one it is not.

This isn't saying one side is better than the other (though I suspect it's more correct to consume animal fat in quantity than plant fat), it just means that maybe you can run your car on cooking oil, maybe it works, but maybe your engine's longevity goes up or down as a result.
Same. Lawyers are screwed - they have been an insanely overpaid profession forever, this is going to be absolutely devastating for them. Also, there isn’t a whole lot of leverage in lawyering compared to the other professions that AI is poised to dominate, so it feels like lawyers in particular are going to have a hard time transforming themselves into a new profession that is symbiotic with AI systems. This is a case where the human part may entirely go away for large swathes of cases.
I LOVED playing peek-a-boo with my child at that age!
Yeah will +1 this. If you mess it up it's pretty hard to find where you did it. ':' is very close to '.'.
Only lawyers can give legal advice, big difference.

You can represent yourself in court if you want to (generally, you don't) but if you want to offer that service to others, you need to be a licensed lawyer. It is the same for many professions.
They were using blanks on set so Baldwin would have to be able to (a) reliably differentiate between blanks and live rounds and (b) re-check the gun for live rounds before each take.

Making sure props are safe to use in a scene is just not an actor's job on set.

It's fitting, since the word itself is also very, very ugly. It _feels_ like a word for a 50-year-old-something guy walking in the street letting his arms bounce wildly.

It's as ugly as shenanigans, flamboyant, gentrification, astroturfing, tomboy and such.
I thought the content was okay, but agree the CTA at the end was a bit of a sledgehammer.
Absolute precision? Have you read any law lately? Legal texts are (to me) surprisingly imprecise.

One wonders why we have not developed something explicit like mathematical notations for legal stuff.

I mean, comma/and/or separated lists in full text? Not even parenthesis? That’s not precision.

> The biggest problem I see here is forwarding someone else's unknown and unencrypted content.

Like email.

> Unlike an email client, your relay actually makes that message available to anyone.

On the contrary. Public mailing lists work exactly like this. You send a "subscribe" message (or enter your email address and click on a "subscribe" button, or whatever), and the server starts forwarding all the messages to you.
ok I don't want to reveal my identity. I'll try creating a fake id email and emailing that address. Also is comment history visibility private info that can't be answered publicly ?
Slack had an "innovation" in the form of unusable threads that every other client is now sheepishly copying.

I wonder why we allow them to prevent that?
Non-lawyers aren't banned from giving legal advice because lawyers are trying to protect their jobs, they're banned from giving legal advice because they're likely to be bad at it, and the people who take their advice are likely to be hurt.

Yes, in this case, it would just be a parking ticket, but the legal system runs on precedent and it's safer to hold a strict line than to create a fuzzy "well, it depends on how much is at stake" line. If we know that ChatGPT is not equipped to give legal advice in the general case, there's no reason to allow a company to sell it as a stand-in for a lawyer.

(I would feel differently about a defendant deciding to use the free ChatGPT in this way, because they would be deliberately ignoring the warnings ChatGPT gives. It's the fact that someone decided to make selling AI legal advice into a business model that makes it troubling.)
Don't think about it too much. Most of the web still runs on plain old PHP and HTML. New technologies pop up every now and then but most people who do this professionally just want something that does the job and don't talk about "their stack" outside of work hours.

I'm not a fan of Tesla. After renting a model Y for a weekend I would not buy one, as it rides like a race car with extremely stiff suspension.

However, I would love to purchase a car the Tesla way. I hate the dealership experience so much. Plus, all the recent "market adjustments". I am a car guy but dealerships are turning me into someone who hates dealing with cars and doesn't even want to think about buying something from a dealership. I'm either going to buy a Tesla or something from a private party.

The only thing that sucks is that my local tesla showroom never answers their phone or responds to sales inquiries over email.
Let's just call it BactrianCase or dromedaryCase.
I actually did set up our linter but can't enforce the casing since so much of the codebase is all over the place and leadership didn't want to take any risk with an automatic conversion :shrug:.
It's an "investment" in the sense that you are getting some conceptual return on it, even if the return isn't financial. For example, a $300 pair of boots is an investment, because you expect to get more than $300 worth of utility over the life of the pair of boots.
the standup is a tool to help keep the team moving, and surface issues early. a good use of the standup is asking for help on a task that is taking longer than expected. often, people underestimate the time a task will take. ultimately the tasks need done. “small easy tasks” that are not A and not B represent distractions.

Ask your team lead for help
I don't understand from the article what "rotating in reverse" would mean. Referring to the crust? If it rotates around the axis just slower than the crust then it would look from here like going on reverse. Or they mean really rotating in reverse in reference to the axis? To some normalized axis assumed stable somehow?

And yet all of the actual institutionalized policies that consider race, favor non-whites or non-Asians.

Uh-huh. And what did the EEOC do when you gave them that information? What did the company leadership do when you informed them that one of their employees was violating multiple federal laws?
>Maybe it's just harder to ensure "fair and impartial justice" than you think

I'll admit that's possible, but you have to also admit that the current legal system (at least in the US, I don't know about elsewhere) is, shall we say, over-engineered?

The software example you give cuts both ways. Yes, making even a simple Windows application can be very complicated. But how much of that is due to Windows itself? Can your application be replicated with a combination of existing Unix tools? Depends on the application, of course, but there is certainly a lot of cruft floating around the Windows API space.

And let's also not forget that (often) one of the main purposes of commercial software is to lock you in to that particular piece of software. Same same with the legal system and lawyers.

The jury system was supposed to cut through this sort of thing. Twelve regular folks could upend or ignore every law on the books if they thought the whole case was nonsense on stilts. A lot of work has gone into avoiding jury nullification for this reason.
My statement assumes parity, describing an ideal scenario. I believe that's what the parent described from his experience, today.

Assuming subterfuge then my statement wouldn't apply, obviously, as the flow of information wouldn't exactly be symmetric. Symmetric information flow implies a commitment to operate in good faith with free exchange.

Edited to address this point:

> Eventually it becomes some flavor of omniscient.

The trick will be to maintain parity. This may be a fool's errand, but that point is key. It may be that only 0.01% of intellects eventually maintain symmetric conversation with AI, but that is important, nonetheless.
I was doing this with work.
Dot points were becoming paragraphs. Seemingly for others comfort.
Yet, the dot points had all the information. So am I still preparing the paragraphs?

Maybe the change we need isn't AI assist, but a break in the conventions around communication at work so we can all be more robotic and terse.

Mine was this:

Prompt: "Two dogs walk into a bar"

Zinger:

"The bartender says, "What would you like?" The dogs say, "We're fine, thanks."

"After three whiskeys, the first dog says to the second, "Hey, you're alright."

"The first one says, “I’ll have a gin and tonic”. The second dog says, “I’ll have whatever he’s having.”

Heh-larry-ous.

>Was this an "open-source folks will do it for free anyhow"

I doubt it. Open-sourcing anything is a lot of work. Managing open-source projects is a lot of work. There are no guarantees that that project will even get any external development traction or mindshare, and if this is still an important component to you, you'll be paying developers to build it out anyway.
Wouldn't be surprised. Ohio has become a solid red state and its Republican majority state government is corrupt to the core.

Advice here seems generally good. I did start learning about finance and investing very young, and my views have changed a lot as I’ve gotten older. So take this advice as stuff after you learn investing basics.

1) financial independence is great, but you could also die tomorrow. Make sure you understand what your most important values and priorities are, and don’t put them off in favor of more future wealth.

2) health is wealth, don’t ever sacrifice health for more savings. I promise it won’t be worth it.

3) relationships are wealth. Don’t sacrifice the people that matter to you for a little bit more savings. In my own life this meant going from spending very little on traveling to see old friends to quite a bit traveling to see old friends.

4) it’s often much easier and more enjoyable to increase your pay 25% than it is to decrease your spending 25%. Most people are actually not good at navigating “how do I get paid more per hour worked” and a little bit of brainstorming and long term planning in this department can take you leaps and bounds further financially than penny-pinching.
Agreed. I have probably a couple years of living expenses available now, and I still have some anxiety around work/income/etc. When I lived check to check, it was even worse. There's not no stress now, but far less, knowing I can still eat/live/etc if some engagement is cut short or reduced. Beginning of covid, early lockdown stuff, the company I was working for cut some folks, and reduced me to ... limbo for a few weeks. The project I was on had no clients willing to renew their contracts because... lockdown - they had no idea what was coming in the next few months (who did?). 15 years ago I'd have freaked out about having a project suspended like that. This time, it was... a blip. True, there were bigger things to be concerned about anyway (covid) but short term financial stability wasn't an issue. Longer term - would still like enough to be even 'lean fire', but not quite there yet.

Is anybody having serious doubts about all of this "recession is imminent" talk? Despite the interest rate hikes, the economy still seems to be doing well ATM.

As the old saying goes "Economists have accurately predicted 11 of the last 8 recessions".
Because the whole point of messing with the districts is to make each district 50.01% party A 49.99% party B. A winner take all system with multiple candidates would work like the presidential election, you vote for them as a group.

If you switch to top 10 then it's not winner take all anymore.
My first question would be: What if you increase the concentration of IP6? The idea being to promote the creation of many 5-sided things, increasing curvature all over and creating capsids too small to enclose the genetic material.

If nothing else, the standard downside would apply: IP6 is not a novel molecule and would probably not be patentable.
Largely agreed.

To your last point, people who believe having an internal locus of control is useful for preventing (not necessarily treating) addiction.
Imagine standing in a field on a moonless night while someone shines a flashlight at you from one direction. You are told you are surrounded by a number of people whom you can't see and that they will now proceed to throw rocks at you ranging in size from pebbles to bricks. That's roughly the level of anxiety you should have about our current situation.
I once went hiking in the mountains and when it started getting late and my phone would run out of battery due to flashlight usage, I realized I forgot connector cable for my power bank which happened to also have wireless charging. Although it was super slow compared to wired, I was able to get just enough juice to get back not in complete darkness. Quite an edge case but yeah.

I'd say it's also convenient to just put phone on some charging surface if you don't mind the slower pace, than to mess with cables - maybe it's not such a problem with USB-C but with Micro USB part of the socket would die every time you plugged in the cable.
> Also, per the spec or convention, relays SHALL NOT talk to each other.
