Worked very well with 5yo daughter; she and mum thought it was very good ("not too busy, extremely clear").

One small thing that upset daughter (only a little bit) was getting "Game over!" - which I think just meant she'd come to the end of the game, but which she took as "You lost!" (probably as a result of watching older brother play games). If that's right, then consider changing wording to "Well done, you've reached the end of the game!" rather than the (more negative, to many people) "Game over!".
Even then, it's still disingenuous. They only care about Asians when it supports their political agenda.
Sounds a lot like how chatgpt learns :)
We're hosting a Zoning Holiday party tomorrow in SF at SPUR center to celebrate!

25+ architects for all kinds of firms submitted 5-unit designs to us, and we'll showcase them at the event!

It'll be a fun opportunity to meet likeminded property owners, architects, YIMBY advocates and developers. The event is open to all, just buy a $10 ticket. There will even be kebabs. Check out https://zoningholiday.com
Is there any reason we shouldn’t view diffusion models as any other tool? I can infringe copyright with photoshop too… even accidentally. If I generate original work with either that seems like fair game.

I imagine with the right prompt one could coax out a copywritten image even if it hadn’t ever seen it before
Yup. I was recently doing some night sky shooting with my E-M1.3. Not only does it do what you say, but when using its "super exposure" it'll take multiple shots moving its sensor (using its in-body stabilization) by sub-pixel amounts. This produces from a 15Mp sensor, a 50Mp or 80Mp result - and as a side-effect, the stack of images results in weighted averaging of the pixels, thus doing a fantastic job of noise suppression. And yes, it auto-aligns, at least in the 50Mp mode.
There's a certain cost to build a house. It's not like the houses themselves are more in CA (well, maybe a little), it's the land. For example, my house is appraised around $300k but the land is appraised at $1.2 million.
By "high-rise", you must mean 5-over-1, right? I doubt anyone's going to build an actual high rise in the suburbs.

It still seems like a farce.

The way the US justice system treats the rich vs others really is...
Given the weak accuracy - which is of course understandable given the difficulty of the task - this mostly seems like a fig leaf that lets them pretend to do something about the potential problems of AI generated text becoming more and more pervasive.

Probably one shouldn't fault them for trying, but the cat is out of the bag I think.
Same. I'm hoping that Pine64's STAR64 fills that space. https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/STAR64
It is not clear to me at all that sustainability requires a plateau. Technological, infrastructural, agricultural, and industrial improvements should continually increase the carrying capacity of the planet.

An Earth with billions more humans could have enormous benefits for those living on it.
I agree with your comment on "heavy handedness". I think this is common in modern cinema in all forms. They fail to capture subtlety and come across as cartoonish. For example, based on conversations I remember with the older generations from my early childhood, usually racism was not expressed as some sort of outright hatred. Far more common was just casual ideologies that were part of the thinking of the times and rooted in tribalism in general, but had an overarching affect on society. One of the old ladies at my church when I was a child told me, "birds of a feather flock together" regarding people of different races. They thought races should be kept separate and that problems came up when you mixed races together. To them, it was "just so" and just as casual as the thought "that businesses should not be open on Sunday" or whatever. It was a set of axioms that were ingrained in their thinking. But if you asked her if she hated black people, she would say "no, they're God's children", etc.
It's very obvious because you have to activate the wdired mode, and then accept the changes.
Dealing with HOAs is actually easier - transfer all infrastructure ownership and maintenance to them... you'll see some big changes real fast.

Like treat HOA as a commercial entity for purposes of trash, water and sewage. (HOAs are, de facto, incorporated organizations). Tax land under the roads as plain land.

As for localities - they should be mandated to reassess property values every X years and distribute infrastructure maintenance costs appropriately. I now live in a rural area, and I underpay taxes for the services I get... while smaller houses in town overpay.
I'm interested in this as well. IMO any vehicle that uses a touchscreen for more than configuration when parked is dangerous and should not be on the road.
First thing to fix is the broken financial model. Exclusive suburbs pay disproportional less taxes for low density, low efficient, infrastructure. They are being subsidised by high density areas. That's not fair.
Well, I moved everything I had to a VPS for the time being because I left it to the end.

So I take this opportunity to ask, what alternatives have people moved to? I really haven't gone back to look what's out there.

Not looking for free, just alternatives to review.
The geometry thing is not bad, a bit like a geo proof quiz.

Yes there is. https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm
We still have to contend with the implicit sync issues when dealing with NVIDIA drivers; there has been work to untangle the mess there, but it's not done yet to my knowledge.

Context: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2022/06/09/brid...

Edit: also a NixOS user, BUT: I am suggesting something more like SteamOS with ABRoot. It's not exactly a solved problem, but I think that future solutions should be focused on not needing to modify the root to deal with things like drivers and system configuration.
> should be performed by qualified personnel

The trouble is, nobody can afford to employ a hundred thousand professional test drivers.
Does anyone actually even believe that this A.I generated writing is any good? The standards seem extremely low.

Can it beat Tolkien or Asimov? No. Then what is even the point of all this propaganda?
What makes you assume that urban infrastructure is net costlier per capita than suburban?
The policy they've chosen to advocate directly harms me. Not in a, "oh, no, there's now a construction project nearby" sort of way. In a, "I literally cannot afford to live in this city anymore, so I have to leave" sort of way. I will deride the hell out of the extremely privileged status quo interests who put their precious aesthetic opinions above the basic needs of their children and grandchildren. If you loudly advocate your selfish and in doing so you hurt the hell out of large groups of people, they will dislike you for it.
Or let me share dynos across all my projects. $5-$10 per month for all projects, sounds good! $5 per month for each project adds up very quickly.

Is there a right amount of fragmentation? Or is monolithic control like Windows and MacOS better? Part of the promise of open source software is that it can be adapted and extended. Part of the promise of Linux is that the kernel and the DE are not completely dependent on each other. So it can hardly be surprising when people take these promises at face value and make things with them.
Yeah I've got enough yubikeys that I'm very unlikely to lose them all. The only thing that I'm vulnerable to right now is a house-burns-down kind of situation, and I'm considering storing a yubikey at someone else's house to get offsite backup.
that’s where the opportunity is, i’ve done a 2-3hr roundtrip commute to santa monica before, have you?
How the Major Astronomy Journals Stay Open Access
"Concrete example" I see what you did, there...

Like I said, it looks like the only thing that is being done, is that they are using graphene to add a bit more tensile strength. I suspect that there are other materials that would work just as well (or maybe better). It's probably not the "killer feature" for graphene.

Reminds me of this old The Onion story: https://www.theonion.com/bantu-tribesman-uses-ibm-global-upl...
Things some people (ahem) learn only _after_ investing in System76 hardware: most of the premium goes not toward Coreboot development (S76 employs all of one full-time firmware guy) but rather toward a largely-pointless rewrite of Linux desktop in Rust. Welp, lesson learned
I don't actually see the fragmentation here.

You can move from Gnome Shell to this without having to change the software you use.
Top right of the content bar has an eyeball icon with "show more for all", which expands them all at once, but agreed, this isn't great UI or UX (still better than twitter though!)
@genezeta - Thanks a lot for this detailed feedback. I am really grateful that you actually took out time and energy to check out all the features and then pointed out the fixes required.
I agree with you on every single point and will be working on fixing each and every problem you raised
Heroku sent me repeated messages that they would shut down my account due to inactivity. I was fine with that because finding and turning off the supposedly active Dyno was impossible. Guess what? Still charging me $27 a month for a server I can't even manage.

Yes, unfortunately Mastodon 4.0's public web interface now uses JS to render threads. Lots of people are mad about it.

Nobody includes Alaska in these calculations because 80% of it us uninhabitable. I was only talking about the lower-48.
I tend to think that was a misplay on the part of the original author. If they had notified the 1647 users that their machines would be wiped a month in advance, then a bottom up pressure to get it resolved would have occurred. Few folks are as invested in their daily work as the people who will be blocked.

Yeah I use Virtualbox to bucket different activities and help keep things organized. My main OS is Linux, so if I need to use Windows for things like Word, or iTunes, then I use a specialized VM for that. Another VM is a toy machine for trying out different Windows software, and it's configured not to talk to The Internet since I test a lot of software that could have malware / phone home etc

Also: Windows software that isn't digitally signed and could be doing anything it likes. I have a few other VMs mostly for coding and dev stuff. Github Desktop has no Linux version, so I have a dedicated Windows 10 VM for that. And a few Fedora VMs for casual surfing of the web & social media like Hackernews, Reddit etc
thanks! What do you usually do after Ctrl-T?
It’s amazing to me that courts keep letting police and law enforcement trot out new “evidence” with no evidence supporting the negative claims: take “bite mark analysis” that was introduced as fact despite their being no negative testing (obviously a bite mark matches the bite of an assailant, but that only matters if it doesn’t also match 1000s if other people. You get similar stupidity with their retconning of profiling , etc which are also nonsense.

We already know the law enforcement will lie, conceal, and violate the law to get convictions, so it seems the bare minimum to require all new forms of evidence have an unbiased third party review and evidence showing that it’s not just doing correlation vs causation vs intentionally ignoring negative evidence.
Everyone can vote? American Samoans, green card holders, various non-citizen immigrants? I thought SF was unusually immigrant rich.

There are a ton of people in SF who are paying sizeable taxes and rents with no vote in these matters. It's quite likely they are disproportionately renters.
So what happened to the whole "websites used to be a lot more creative in the '90s" thing. A website shows some creativity for once and we immediately shun it. We can't have it both ways...
I think you're saying you want fewer Africans? Is that right?
I've always took the view that a show about the birth of consumer society from the point of view of ad executives is a brilliant take. We get to witness the machinery of post war capitalism taking shape. If the same concept was applied to investment bankers in the 80's it could be pretty interesting.

Don is kinda like the past, trying to adapt. Struggling with a new identity, escaping past trauma. I think the character embodies the old fashioned behavior (as himself and Betty refer to themselves often), while Peggy is the youth of the 60, stumbling into an old world and at the same time making it her own because many of the epochal changes resonate with her. Her walk into the 70s ready to shake things up at the end of the series is amazing.
Elementary OS is the pinnacle of a nice-looking OS with questionable technical decisions under-the-hood. The biggest one? No upgrades. You literally can't go from 5 to 6, or 6 to 7, without a full reinstall. There's not a terminal command for the adventurous either.

That, to me, is extremely nasty. You have to take everything out of your computer, and put it back, every year to get the latest features and make sure you are secure? That's so bad, it feels like false marketing to call it "Elementary OS." You might as well download a random customized Windows ISO from the internet and disable Windows Update forever. At least Microsoft Edge would still get updates for years but Elementary OS's browser won't for very long. Unless, of course, you enjoy taking personal responsibility for updating every PC of those non-technical folks you recommend it to or install it for. I'd happily install it for quite a few relatives who would otherwise use Chromebooks, but that's a big showstopper.

I can read about how they've improved the Music app or made the App Center better for developers all day, but they have this massive hole in the ship that makes it fundamentally unsuitable for the intended purpose and they still haven't fixed it after 7 versions. Elementary users don't find pleasure in reinstalling their OS on weekends.
What I would love to see in GPT 3 is some sort of a confidence score that they could return, as in how sure their model is that what it returned is accurate and not gibberish. Could this classifier help with that? I am working on a requirement where we are using ElasticSearch to map a query to an article in a knowledge base and then the plan is to send it to GPT 3 to help summarize the article.

Since the ElasticSearch integration is still WIP, I had made a POC to scrape the knowledge base (with mixed results, lots of the content is poorly organized, so the scraped content that would act as prompt to the GPT 3 model wasn't all that good either) and then feed it to GPT 3, but the it couldn't always give the most accurate answers on that. The answers sometimes were spot on, or quite good but other times, not so much. I would say about 30% of the time, it made sense. So if there was a way for me to get if answer was sensible or not, so we could give an error response if the GPT 3's response did not make sense.

The reason why we are doing it cause the client has a huge knowledge base and mapping each question to an answer would be difficult for them.
Should the 'Opinion:' part be in the title of this post?
Reminds me of that libreboot that targetted a very specific rk3288 chromebook (out of the 8 available) even through the original coreboot was blobless on all of them.
Population shrinkage? Great. I just hope people in this country (= Israel/Palestine) learn a lesson and stop trying one-upping the other side, or other family members/friends, in having more children.

And eBay is easily the jankiest website I use on an at all frequent basis. Click about in profile/settings and you get randomly shuttled about between pages designed in (by the looks of them) 2010, 2002, 2003, and 2016...
There's also always going to be more capital going towards building better generators than better detectors.
The problem with this will be the method to detect the signature would reveal how to hide the signature though right?

Obviously not an issue if everyone uses a single API for it - but if this ends up like Stable Diffusion were anyone can run it locally then I don't think it's possible no?
I am coming at this from the opposite end (tech founder looking for a partner to handle the business side). As a technical person, I can build all the features; fix all the bugs; and work on performance issues. But I lack the skills needed to find the right market fit and convince customers to jump on board.

I think the best startups are co-founded by a bright technical person and a savvy business partner. The pattern of Apple which was started by the 'Two Steves' (Jobs and Wozniak) can be a really successful one and one that I would like to follow (https://didgets.substack.com/p/looking-for-another-steve-job...)
This but unironically.

Use a different operating system if you want your vendor to tie you up and tell you what to do. Buy a pretty toaster if you want a slick appliance— not a computer.

I'm sick of this complaint, which boils down to this: desktop Linux (taken collectively) isn't very much like a product for consumers by a vendor who wants to suck you into their ecosystem.

Guess what? That's *what's good* about the Linux desktop.

If you want a no-choice monoculture whose design better supports a thriving hellscape of proprietary crapware, you've got options already. If you want to be a consumer instead of a participant in a community and a tradition, go buy something.
The answers are very uncomfortable

And at the cost of the character of their neighborhood changing, their property valuation rose to the point that they can now live almost wherever they would like to. Countless people have to see their neighborhood change without the financial windfall they got.
Are they? Isn't it possible that people who live in beautiful neighborhoods with mature trees, nice big yards, and low traffic streets that are safe for kids to play around, want to keep them that way for primarily those reasons?

Cars are currently two tons noise and pollution machine. It's no wonder why people feel unsafe around them.

You could restrict traffic to only bicycles and pedestrians combined with mixed zoning.

Also, lawn mowers....They're extremely loud.
Ask HN: When AI can write all code, what is the role of programming languages?
Now, I know that this future is way off, and that ChatGPT or any descendent of it, possibly won't be able to write all the code required to build a big real world system. This question is based on a, currently, hypothetical future AI system, possibly AGI-based, that can basically write all code required for a major project.

My question is, what is a programming language for at this point? As a human programmer, I feel like I would need a way to verify what the machine has written, and programming languages are, by their very nature, the human / machine interface. But they're really only of benefit to the human. This AI could just flip the bits in theory and write machine code. However, how can we easily verify the resulting software? Automated tests? What if we miss something? Will future, AI-written software be a blackbox, or will languages still have their place? If so, will they be a different kind of language to the ones we have now? Will a code-writing AI in 2070 be writing assembly but converting to C for our benefit? Seems unlikely.
Tough break for all the people at HubSpot who are losing their jobs. I worked there and it was a truly remarkable place to work. I made some of my best friends in life and learned some really valuable lessons.
An alternative framing if the article is that reproving of training examples is /rare/. It works for highly replicated images and, in larger models trained for longer periods of time, really unusual training examples. Both of these failure modes have pretty obvious mitigations: deduplicate the training data, and trim the outliers.
Their extraction:
(1) assumes the attacker knows the caption for some training images, and
(2) primarily works on images duplicated 100x-3000x in the training dataset.
Their attack does not succeed for any singleton images. Deduplicating can be challenging on internet-scale datasets, but their work as presented does not appear to be a major concern for releasing diffusion models trained on other smaller datasets.

On memorization - I suspect this is a great thing for downstream performance, and a positive indicator that diffusion models are actually better generative models than prior methods (VAEs, GANs, etc). This mirrors the finding that feedforward neural networks can memorize randomly labeled data very well. Intuitively it feels like memorization is a quantifiable behavior that is a foundational activity in information processing - it is one type of optimal usage of observed data - that superpowers downstream performance.
That's 2 cups of coffee, or 1 latte. It's objectively not a huge chunk of change unless you live in a very LCOL area.

You can also go to any competitors, which have their smallest tier around the same price. Linode has a $5/m tier.

You could also buy a Raspberry Pi for $50 and run it in your closet.

It is interesting how one can support gay marriage, the right to abortion, the self-determination of gender identity, and so on without being a communist; but one cannot be vaguely affiliated with a group that opposed Roe v Wade without being a racist, a bigot and a misogynist that wants to strip everyone of their rights and reduce them to second-class citizens.
