The people who wrote the Photoshop source code were paid for their contributions with full consent that their work would be included in the product and sold for a profit by Adobe.
The artists whose work was fed into these systems did not consent, nor were they paid for their contribution. In fact, I have seen a few reports of people using these systems to generate lookalike artworks intended to resemble the work of specific working artists—artists whose livelihoods depend on client commissions. The only way that these systems could produce knock-off artwork after receiving a prompt containing that artist's specific name is if the artist's own copyrighted work was used in the training data.

Do you have any doubt that many working artists' copyrighted work was included in the the training data that produced these systems, without those artists licensing their work for that purpose?

It's not gatekeeping to insist that a project obtain a voluntary license from the people who contribute their work to a project.

And it's not gatekeeping to point out the fact that these platforms have only been successful by using working artists' copyrighted work in violation of their rights, without asking permission or providing compensation.

I worked at a company that used gridgain with Excel as a cluster to process models on lots of servers.

I suspect there's a lot of low level Windows integration details about how to integrate with Excel. COM objects and DLLs.

Why is integrating with software so difficult? Very few people know how to do it.

How you design software that is extensible?

Atom was extensible and VS Code is less so.

Why has nobody integrated the web browser with QT? So we can browse into a Qt application. So you can create desktop widgets and canvases with Qt from Javascript? That way you could ship desktop software and arbitrary integrations to software.

> without making your calorie intake less than your expenditure you will not loose weight.

There are drugs that say otherwise. As a side effect of medication, I've had to increase my calorie intake to maintain my weight.

Not to mention the relative bio-availability of foods differs even when their calories don't. Fats and Proteins need more processing per calorie than Carbohydrates.

I'm also fairly certain there are limits to the human bodies ability to absorb calories. i.e. you could saturate your diet by eating way too many calories, but your eventual weight gain would be at the limit of your body's ability to store fat.
What I think he means is that separating your workouts into zone 2 and 5 is "optimal" in terms of anaerobic contribution. At zone 2 your anaerobic contribution is low, while at zone 5 it is high. Its best to think of these energy systems as a sliding scale, and his model is based on the theory that zone 2 is the optimal window on this scale for improving metabolic health.

This doesn't mean that zone 3 and 4 are useless. Most endurance athletes do most of their high intensity in these zones because the stress of zone 5 is not manageable over time.

"Open" GApps for custom Android builds are not open re-implementation. It was a middle ground between ROM communities and Google reached some decade ago, to disallow inclusion in the ROM and limit redistribution to forms and channels agreed upon.
House batteries are a much smaller market than batteries for EVs (at least right now). They also have other supporting components, safety features, etc. that add to the price. Since they’re normally installed as part of a solar install, they also usually qualify for a tax credit (between federal and state this can be over 50%) which further drives up the price because the vendor is able to capture a large chunk of the tax credit as profit.
At first I thought you were referring to VSTO, then I saw the "not to be confused with VSTO" part. I had no idea this ever existed. Thanks for mentioning it. I wonder why they decided to pull the plug back then.

There is various science around from multiple sources that suggest that HIIT High Intensity Interval Training or SHIT Super High Intensity Training puts the body in a different mode for some time afterwards.

When the heart is stimulated to between 80 and 95% capacity (depending on source of information) this then prompts physiological changes that last long past the exercise event.

CSIRO in Australia has been researching this for many years and is the premium (though still slightly woeful) scientific body in Australia.

Not many real hills where I live, but there is one nearby and you often see people sprinting up it (sometimes backwards) and walking down, multiple times.

One good plain language summary (not from CSIRO) is:

"The “LifeSprints” study by Boucher in 2011 suggests that in the lower intensity steady state cardio trials, not enough levels of epinephrine (adrenaline) were present to stimulate fat breakdown in the muscle cells. During and after higher intensity exercise epinephrine and norepinephrine floats around in the system which stimulates “hormone sensitive lipase” to start breaking down fat in the fat cells. Therefore, the presence of epinephrine could be considered a major lipoliptic factor in fat breakdown (Trapp, Chisholm & Boutcher, 2007). During higher intensity exercise reaching maximal levels, not only does the body switch to carbohydrate as a main source of energy, a by-product of the anaerobic system (as seen in maximal intensities) is lactic acid. Lactic acid is said to be a blocker of epinephrine."

I am concerned by this because I don't understand what we are trying to achieve.

For various reasons people seem upset at "big tech". But I don't see how breaking Google (Alphabet?) into separate units will make anyone happier? It is not apparent to me how that would stop fake news or better moderation or less censorship or whatever people want.

Check out their surface device lineup. It is equally as confusing! Unified branding in Microsoft products seem to be an area they could improve on.
this is definitely by design, but it is driven by public policy (reducing inflation), not private companies conspiring against their employees.

the worst possible thing from a central bank perspective is a wage-price spiral where employees can negotiate wage increases that keep up with inflation. increasing interest rates is designed to depress wages by cooling the employment market, which decreases income, which decreases spending, which then decreases the rate of inflation.
You go so far as to refer to the parent’s comment as a “meme” and then seem to agree with it by saying “I'm sure that would still ultimately contribute to weight loss”

You are also correct - caloric deficit is not very sustainable long term for a large number of people.

There is ongoing study to figure out why — for example, why some people are much less able to stick to a diet, or have constant food cravings, and so on. That’s not at odds with what you’re questioning. The focus is on those areas because the requirement of a caloric deficit for weight loss is one of the most reliable observations we have so far.

My best running times were in 2017 when I did a 7 minute workout for 90 days in a row. I was doing the routine twice by the end of the 90 days.

The 7 minute workout was a fad in 2012? that promised the same results as this study. Minimal time effort, maximum results.

That is a privilege that not many people can afford, especially lower income workers. You're speaking from an enviable position of privilege while complaining about others having privilege. Perspective.
> I think socialism in the form of worker rights and healthcare was an upper-society response to squalor and destitution being in the face of the political elite in London

They weren't. The upper classes did everything in their power to prevent the plebs from getting ANY right whatsoever. Churchill even sicced the military at the striking workers at the turn of the century.

All of those gains were made by the people fighting tooth and nail. Especially after Ww II, when the USSR did not 'just collapse because socialism is not sustainable' like the British press was screaming about during the interwar years, it made a great case for the people pushing their agenda and the Labour party was able to do all the reforms that the neoliberals have been bit by bit dismantling over the last 40 years.

Is the premise here a public or private/permissioned blockchain?

How would automatic bill payments work with a blockchain? How do lost wallets work? KYC and AML?

I do agree that blockchain like technology will become the foundation for banks and other financial institutions, probably even government finances. I have serious doubts that they will be public blockchains. Very few want their financial history on a public ledger for all to see. It will also be hard to get them all on the same chain internally, but there is probably a consortium that will merge to handle inter-chain transfers.

Long distance running certainly puts a load on your back and your shoulders. I have been sore there the day after some really long runs, so I can see how it improves posture. Also you need to focus on proper posture when doing long runs.

I think it depends on how you want to approach learning. If you want to learn in a systematic way and learn how to think about designing programs, and consider coding to be a natural byproduct of that, I would recommend a book such as How To Design Programs[1] (there is also the SICP, but it's a bit more dense than HTDP). It helps you learn from the ground up how to design a program and think about programming and uses a custom language built for learning.

If you want to learn coding in a less rigorous way or one where you make some stuff rather than learning various higher level concept or principles, you could start with Python using Learn Python The Hard Way[2]. Python is generally a good beginner language as it doesn't have that many gotchas compared to a language like JS and it's a language that prides itself on doing things the Python way and (more or less) in one specific way, which reduces the initial learning curve a bit.

You could alternatively approach learning to code by learning something such as generative art in Processing[3] (which is in Java, JS, and Python). This is a cool approach as it helps you both learn to program but gives you something "tangible" and really visual, rather than just text.

All in all there really isn't a best language (and anyone who says so is lying and/or deluding themselves) and there isn't a best way to learn, so it depends on your motivations, desires, and how you learn.

Be real, copyright/attribution is only one complaint, a tiny part of the sudden hatred against AI art/creativity.

When somebody brings up the invention of photoshop, they're not trying to disprove a point about paying salaries to the devs, and I am sure you knew that.
Indeed, I would also argue it is shipped. They may not want outsiders to deploy it yet, and ChromeOS and Android ideally need to run existing Android apps before it can ship to end users, so that it can take from the existing ecosystem of apps. That would be the killer feature to ensure initial adoption.
man back in my college days (2006-2012), it was a pain in the ass to have books (materials science) and find stuff online. anyway, i was known as "the king of pdfs". because i always knew how to search things. but now the game is in a whole another level and my fame would fall into oblivion!

I doubt Sony could afford to acquire EA or Nintendo.
You'd be surprised, there are many sites that don't even support names longer than some arbitrary limit like 5 or 10 characters because Korean names are typically 3 to 4 characters long.

The phone number is typically required for real-name verification. Pair that with the low character limit above and a lot of stuff just breaks.

I think non-Korean customers just are not much of a consideration for Korean companies unfortunately.

I know what a terminal emulator is. I have been using Linux off and on in various roles for over 20 years now.

Having a dev node serial device isn't very helpful in itself if you can't easily set the baud rate and other parameters when doing I/O.

> the other stuff missing is what keeps the experience from being quite as polished as a native app.

Features HN developers think are missing from the web to deliver an experience "as polished as a native app": notifications, prompt banners, link interception, Chrome-only non-standards like bluetooth etc.

Features actual users think are missing from the web to deliver an experience "as polished as a native app": actual native-like experience: responsiveness, smooth animations, polished usable and accesible controls, maintaining scroll position and location in the app, fast scrolling through large lists, no loading states for the simplest actions...

I mean, people people keep bringing up Twitter's objectively bad web app as an example of one of the best PWA apps... Have these people never seen an actual native app?
I keep coming back to the fact that these technologies enable people to create simulacrums of high quality content quickly - but that shows because of the obvious short comings as identified by other posters.

If I gave myself a week to write a children's book using these tools with a human editor loop - could I create (or perhaps someone more talented) a great book? That seems possible. This seems like it was created in a couple of hours - and that is slightly interesting - but perhaps we will quickly move beyond the amazement of this as we start to see lots of quickly generated low quality content.
Well...a long time ago in a less PC age, I worked for a company that made fuel systems for jet engines. They had an outdoor test firing facility that was enclosed in a wall, maybe 6 feet high, intended to protect passersby.

The chap who ran the facility had a party piece. He'd put bird seed on top of the blast wall in front of the inlet. He waited for enough pigeons to start eating the seed. Then switched on the engine. There were a lot of feathers...
The link is broken and if you manually fix it, you'll find this is behind an email wall...

Nanoc is great, basically framework for creating SSGs. You can literarry do everything and with latest ruby its much faster too - I had some biger site with it that took 10 minutes to build (which is done on any editor input).

The project is also 15+ years old and continiously developed.
It is? When did that happen?

Edit: Actually I apparently already knew this since the Linux laptop next to me has PuTTY native on it. I don't know why I had included it in my mental list of things I always install WINE for.
Worth remembering that priority and sequence are not quite the same thing.

There's a useful framework called RICE where you evaluate/score ideas by Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort. Sometimes assigning numeric values feels forced so I often use it as "dimensions to be thinking about" rather than a literal scoring system. [1]

There's some great stuff in Reinertsen's Flow book about different sequencing strategies and when to use each. Eg, When delay costs are homogeneous, do the shortest task first. When task durations are homogeneous, do the highest cost-of-delay task first.

Part of it is cars get a bunch of free tax money, but most of it is that cars were at the front of the queue and locked prices in ahead of time (before the self same orders pushed prices up) and they have actual pressure to compete.

There are cheaper products, but reliability and trustworthyness is an issue. A good budget offering may decide to sell out their rep or start charging premium prices.

Budget offerings are about $250/kWh right now, or there are some for about $350 with cold weather protection.

In a few more years markets will mature a little and the price gap will be smaller.
