Netflix’s anime AI art causes background artist panic
When I worked at a movie theater (many decades ago) the theater did not have prints of random movies laying around. The only prints we had were the movies we were currently showing, and those were decided weeks in advance.
My fever and muscle aches, which came on within about 12 hours, went away within about 24 hours after I started Paxlovid. However, I continued to have lingering congestion that didn't go away, and in fact continued for about three weeks after the Paxlovid course was done.

Still a big improvement, but it makes me wonder whether a longer course of Paxlovid might have cleared the symptoms more completely. I have read that there have been suggestions that the five day course still leaves a significant amount of virus in the body and that lengthening it has been considered, but the FDA has not done anything about it.
Can you go into some detail about how you meditate to reduce anxiety?
> criticize you for your business model

Hardly a criticism, more just a complaint about capitalism in general it seems. Which I don't expect a software shop to be the ones to solve...
There's a joke that goes like this.

There's a man who gets warning that his village is about to be flooded and he gets a warning he needs to evacuate immediately. He says he places his trust in god and decides to wait for god's help. A while later a tractor comes by and asks him if wants a ride out of the village, he tells them he places his trust his god to rescue them and tells them goodbye. A while later a bunch of cow herders and asks if wants a walk out of the village, he tells them .. trust.. god. Now water begins to come into the village. He climbs to the top of a hillock. A while later a few people arrive in a boat and ask him if we wants a ride out of the village, he tells them .. trust .. god. A while later he dies and then complains to god about help not arriving. God asks what else but help was the warning, tractor, cow herders and boat were?

There's a joke in here that Twitter is how God wants to help.
In typical organizations, you always have a grizzled backend developer well-versed in creating REST backends in Java and a frontend developer well-versed in whatever. So you play to their strengths.
> unmoderated interaction with other irresponsible people

Other irresponsible people means their peers right? Like teens talking to teens without adult supervision?
We moved back to nowhere before our kids were out of the toddler stage. All they remember is rural life. Maybe that's the key?

Not that I care if my kids move to a city. I'll have a place to stay while going to the museums.

My parents moved us to an old dairy farm on 30 acres with only one other house on the road. 7 miles from a town of 6000 and 50 miles from the nearest Walmart. I loved it and only moved away after college because there were no jobs here.

Moved back 3.5 years later because I could buy a house for 1/3 the cost while working remote for a "city salary" and because I missed raising animals.
Paxlovid efficacy is waining with new strains.

You may have recovered quickly regardless.

I never took paxlovid and my covid symptoms lasted 2 days and i recovered quickly.

N = 1 experiences arent convincing data.
I appreciate your videos. Thanks!
I know it's weird but here has been my ANALOG solution to HN information consumption and even to tab overload (a chronic incurable autoimmune disease I acquired when just leaving my teens, during college life, which may have impeded my growth).

I write much, sci-fi and always draft some articles (but never publish), so that keeping up with HN is a sort of reference material building activity, other than it I don't go on twitter, IG, reddit, slack, mastodon or whatever IRC channel, so I try to make the most of my constrained addiction, but it's always tough work to clean up a browser tab accumulation, as the Feynman quote quips, it's costly, you have to pay attention:

The method involves a paper notebook, which I use whenever I can in lieu of a PC for drafting, taking notes, planning etc. On a two-page spread I start sth like an index by arbitrary useful topics of my current researches. Each line is a one or two word topic, after the word I simply list the HN IDs separated by comma. It's nice to save individual comment threads or whole posts using the same interface. When useful I write a little two word note on top of the number. In this fashion I close dozens or hundreds of tabs and postpone/defer reading the interesting conversations to when I will take action upon it e.g. by writing a short story or poetry or articles. I also use the GTD golden 2-min rule: if I can read and/or take action on a useful discussion or link posted in a few minutes, I do it on the spot and close the HN post forever. Done.
I'm the exact opposite. I got the deck, had a honeymoon period of maybe five days, then I went back to the PS5.

The deck is heavier than the Switch, louder than the Switch (which makes no sound at all), gets hotter than the Switch (which doesn't get hot at all), has a screen that is inferior to the new one on the OLED Switch, and has the buttons in such an awkward position that I get cramps in my hand after half an hour of playing.

BUT YOU CAN PLAY ELDEN RING, you would say now. Yeah nah. All those AAA titles run like ass and/or look like ass on the deck. It's just not a feasible device for anything. For high-end titles, the PS5 wins out always. For indie titles, the Switch wins out, always.

I guess it's a really cool device for hackers who just want to mess around, though.
That's my morning coffee. I love the stuff. I'd highly recommend it as well.

I've yet to find a good source of beans but the G7 instant does the trick for me.

When my dad had cancer it was one of the few things he could taste while on chemo so he used to have it with his Ensure drinks.
> The only way to derive 2nd law including its time asymmetry...

I don't think that's true, though I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "those microscopic processes that are compatible with macroscopic processes that systematically lead to the same final state". (The same as what? The same in what sense?)

The reason you can't unscramble an egg is not because there is anything fundamentally irreversible in the laws of physics, it's because the time-evolution of the scrambling egg is governed not only by the motion of the whisk but also by the random thermalized motion of the constituent particles. To unscramble the egg you would need not only to precisely reverse the motion of the whisk, but also all of the thermal velocities of the constituent particles. The latter might be possible in principle (though not in practice) in a classical world, but throw in quantum mechanics and it's not possible even in principle. So the second law happens simply because the dynamics of non-trivial systems (like eggs) are chaotic, and quantum mechanics always throws in some randomness at the lowest levels.

And yes, quantum mechanics is also time-reversible. If you want to quibble about that, read this first:

https://blog.rongarret.info/2014/10/parallel-universes-and-a...

> There is no evidence for them

If you believe that the 2nd law is universal (and I see no reason to doubt it) then the inescapable conclusion is that the further back you go, the lower the entropy of the universe was, reaching a global minimum at inception.
y'know, I felt like a monster doing it, but it weirdly is way more satisfying to use

it goes from "wtf just flickered on my screen" to "wow, that loaded really fast!
This is the classic description found in the economic textbooks. Unfortunately it is incorrect, the system doesn't work that way. (See comments above).

apropos btw. I've never actually seen a banking system that has a 10% ratio, I think that was Keynes chosing easy numbers. The reserve ratio back in his day was more like 20-25%, these days it is down to about 1-2% in most countries, and being replaced with terms like "required liquidity ratios".
Of the major three cloud providers, Azure is by far the one whose security bugs I hear most about. Not that this necessarily has much relevance to search, but it doesn't inspire confidence in their culture.
What you described is how a camera sees the world, and how we see it in pictures. Part of what seems unconvincing to me about these concept ideas is that the demo UIs are superimposed over basically isometric, wide depth of field pictures and video.

So by plane of projection I mean the apparent distance of the virtual image of the UI. If your eyes are focused "through" the display on something a few yards away vs. relatively close, the light from the UI needs to come into your eye (or possibly glasses etc.) as though it is tracing rays in parallel from roughly the same distance away.

Quake style consoles and other HUDs work in video games because in reality the entire scene is coming from the plane of the display, some inches in front of you. If you tried to really focus on a game object 20 yards away, instead of on the screen in front of you, the HUD wouldn't be visible anymore.

In VR optics I believe the virtual screen is something like ~6 feet out in front of you. It is a compromise and still causes eye strain, but is workable perceptually. The issues for transparent AR seem much more complex.

Many of the far-out concepts and ideas that are mocked up for AR seem actually very achievable right now, or yesterday, if the display works like a phone or laptop or VR goggle's does, by re-projecting camera input from a plane a few (possibly virtual) inches or yards away from your eye. The value added though is pretty niche, because people have mobile phones anyway. But if the iPhone hadn't happened, a little display in front of the eye, a whole visor, or a pop-up wrist computer might have been possible to sell. It sounds kind of silly now, but that's what the expectation was in the 80s-90s. The idea of putting a computer on your head still seemed cool then.

This dip in price isn't a reflection of what was thought about the mistake. Google is supposed to be an AI powerhouse. Google has models that are already much stronger than what's publicly accessible. Google has made a decision to not deploy this kind of AI. Google says they don't feel ready to release AI without safeguards. When there were no alternatives, people just accepted what Google was saying and moved on, but ChatGPT and other OpenAI products show that it is possible and Google is choosing not to prioritize it. My guess is that certain leadership at Google couldn't fathom the cost at moderation and filtering AI output. Youtube moderation makes it clear that Google will automate as much of the content moderation pipeline as humanly possible, that's too big of a risk with something like an AI model.

Searches fit into one of two main categories, searches where you are looking for software/product/services, or searches where you are looking for information. ChatGPT outclasses everything else in the second category. I'm not sure how long it will take for LLMs to also produce meaningful results for the first. This mistake made sure that all of the new user that OpenAI gained are going to stay with OpenAI.

Interestingly the mistake of Bard isn't painting ChatGPT negatively.

I would care…

I honestly don’t believe that an OS should go poking around the internet at all without doing something I specifically told it to.

I’m currently upset with fedora because I can’t figure out how to turn off the automatic update feature, honestly I haven’t tried too hard, and all that is doing is connecting to servers that I would do anyways just on my own timeframe.

If it started sending out every detail of my computing sessions, like TFA is claiming and you are defending, it would be off my computer as fast as I could download another distribution.

I deal with google’s shenanigans with using chrome but that’s my choice, I downloaded the repo data, approved the signing keys and installed it manually.
Is it that hard to believe that Microsoft hard coded the start date rather than making it dynamic?
Sure, I agree, at best it is a gross simplification.

But it’s useful and, in my opinion, captures the most basic relationship which is that some needs have higher priority than others and will drive those other needs to the recesses.

What about that do you disagree with?
idk. The post is making it to the top of HN. It seems like people who are >25 who have learned these insights are dismissive that the knowledge should be implicit and people who are younger are finding it more useful?

Everyone has to go through the "I know nothing." "I know everything!" "I know nothing." transitions of life. It's helpful seeing overly aggressive and confident persons struggle with it because it humanizes the process.

Personally I feel like these dismissive responses come across similar to "Who watches this shit?" on Twitch/YouTube when viewing someone who is young, loud, energetic, and naïve. Just because you're not the target demographic doesn't make it inherently bad content.
I'll go back to reddit when the mods are banned. Free thought is a bug not a feature on new.reddit.com
Which of those four do you think shrank fastest? :)
When he reported on it before the alleged attack happened, it could always have been called of for one reason or another. I don't know how likely or possible such an effort would be, but at least on a small scale it checks out: If I wanted to poison someone, and someone credible enough to be believed in stated that I was going to do just that, who's to say that I can't just change my mind at that very moment? Without finding the poison it would be nigh impossible to prove.

This is something that will always be problematic when reporting on something that hasn't happened yet. As the future hasn't been written, there's always room for all actors to adapt and change their plans.
Yeah I totally agree - I wasn't clear originally. What I meant by "kids takes this feeling away" was the monotony OP experienced. My favorite time of the day is between 6pm when I stop working for a bit, and our daughter's 7:30 bedtime. Still, it's the same routine day to day, even if she has made it a much better routine :)
His monitor conclusion is a bit silly. There's zero cost to having an extra monitor if you turn it off when you don't need it. When coding I use Emacs like a tiling WM and like to have every relevant file visible, which sometimes means overflowing onto a third monitor.

M-x writeroom-mode[0] on a single monitor is perfect for writing, but you can just reach out and turn the others off, or use them for non-distracting content like references or notes in a scratchpad.

[0] Expands the buffer you're working on to the entire monitor, sticks it into a fixed-width column for readability, and gets rid of the modeline and other junk.
Which is where the capital that is required to create the bank comes in, since that provides the initial (cash) liquidity.
Standard politics: how can <topic> be framed such that it appears to protect that which only a monster would seek to deny protection?
It might be, since the actual rate decreased as recently as 2018-2020. Obviously this may increase due to the ramifications of covid - but that would certainly be a special circumstance.

"The total age-adjusted suicide rate increased from 10.4 per 100,000 in 2000 to a peak of 14.2 in 2018, followed by a 5% decline between 2018 and 2020 to 13.5."

As the end user, I know the formulation of roundup has changed over the years, in particular the wetter and other additional ingredients used along with the active ingredient.

"Probably" is a weasel word and does not belong when claiming to have made decisions based on hard science, especially since at least one type of wetter used and mixed in with the final roundup product is (sources I've read) carcinogenic ... sadly the same stuff is used in ... some beauty products ... so no surprise that isn't being waved around.

On the list of herbicides used in my parts, looking at break down products and the LD50 rates, life time in soil, Glyphosate is nowhere near the top of concerning herbicides used. If coincidences is considered acceptable, I've noted the sharp decline in bandicoot population where part of their diet is earthworms and one of the more popular weed killers finding wide use the last few years, has a secondary breakdown product which in high enough concentrations lethal to earthworms.

Disclaimer: I've worked on farms spraying various herbicides on and off for near 30 years. I've always been suspicious of what's been recommended as safe ever since witnessing first hand the genetic damage old 245T formulations (used in our parts N.Q. Aust for ring barking trees) could inflict. This means I usually like to know just how bad something is if I'm using it, use sparingly if there are flags, and personally I won't use half the herbicides used that are considered safe, but roundup I consider moderately safe for the environment since the target weed doesn't need to be saturated to the point of run off for it to work and the work on testing it in the 1950s and 60s prior to Monsanto didn't raise any flags.
I've been using self-hosted Photoprism & Nextcloud to replace Google Photos/Drive/Docs for the past few months, so far so good. I do miss being able to search for something like "vaccine card" - the AI search is fairly primitive. I also worry about the security of it, so it's behind VPN which adds a slight inconvenience when accessing it from my phone. That being said, I like the idea of being in full control of my own data and I'm happy to support them financially, looking forward to future improvements of the app!
It's nonsense on the face of it, which I think is on purpose with the point to be deliberate about one's opinions. If the subject matters, do enough research and thinking to actually form an opinion, but of course remain open to new data and arguments. A good example of this in a scientist is Sean Carroll's belief in the Everett formulation of quantum mechanics, or Hawking on black hole information loss.
I think the submission link should be replaced with this. The paper is much more informative and it's surprisingly easy to understand.
Corporations are people insofar as they can conduct business activities and be sued. They're definitely not the same as "people".
Fuji's film simulations and hardware are the reason I continue to shoot with their cameras today, so it's awesome to see a product like this extending that awesome output to others in an integrated fashion.

I still don't shoot RAW on my X-E4, weirdly enough.
haha you're not wrong

but it's an async process that could take longer, so then you get into "well if it's <200ms we won't show a spinner, but if it takes longer we will..."

it's a settings page where you're clicking toggles, and each toggle saves automatically when you hit it. so when you click one, you get a short spinner, then a check mark when it succeeds. feels right to me when I'm using it
They have the technology but do they have business model.

I am not able to see a way Google can maintain their dominance in search. They have to eat up their current revenue if they want to play this new game.

ChatGPT like interface means that they cannot show banner ads for their advertisers. I don't think Google can move fast and realign their whole business overnight.
Why would a program do a DNS lookup without going to the address? DNS is done automatically by the socket.send() API on demand 99% of the time. Code to do lookups with no send/read are written by nobody besides developers of DNS servers and the dig tool.

"They're must be doing something almost no one would ever do!"

More importantly, the author never said it only does DNS lookups. He just filtered for that to keep the amount of data manageable for illustration purposes. DNS lookup is usually the first step in opening a connection.

Do you have any information that the author(s) are lying? That it is only DNS requests? Given the hundreds of similar confirmed news stories? Dark patterns? The NSA slides pre 2013? My guess is not. And easy to reproduce if needed. My guess is that these connections don't go away with more use.

Why are we talking about this? Proverbial red herring.
> Makes a lot of sense to connect the dots given that it's a covert activity.

"Makes a lot of sense" is hardly the standard for legitimate journalism though. Did it happen or not? How do you know? Does your source know that it happened or just that it was planned? Do you make that clear? Hersh really does not.
Idolising Margaret Thatcher as an “impressive person”, in 2022 is certainly a take.
The MB40 strain appears to be this one:

It's the optics, plus the computational photography on phone cameras (done to make up for the limited optics) giving a certain "look" to most phone photos. Not a bad look, most love it! But certainly different to other devices.
There should be a short delay (200ms to 500ms) before showing a loading spinner, and if the operation completes in that time you can avoid showing it at all. But if it takes longer than that, the spinner should be shown for a minimum of 500ms or so, to avoid a sudden flash of the spinner.

I wrote a React hook called usePending[1] for this once. It's surprisingly difficult to get right.

Interesting to see the big jumó from M1 Max to m2 Max.

I wish the article would go into detail on why they think this occurred.

I’m eagerly waiting for more m2 pro/Max benchmarks, for python and specially with Docker, hoping that there’s a good performance bump there even if it still works with VMs

What would the function of including a start date be if you don't give it the actual start date? The lazy thing to do would be to omit to the start date altogether, not hard code it.
I suppose other than learning their physical activity, so you could go to a gym. There is social activity, if you have people that you could talk to you could do that. There’s creative pursuits, so you could make art or music, or code or cook. All of those things have some learning aspect to them, so you have to be careful not to slip back into learning mode. There are things that delight the senses, like listening to music or eating good food, watching movies. Personally, I tend to enjoy learning, but if I had people in my life, I’d prefer socializing. Balance is important.
Massive production houses use Linux extensively: that's who this is targeted at.
It's statistical multiplexing essentially. To create a loan a bank performs the double entry book keeping operation:

[debit loan, credit deposit]

Which creates a loan instrument on the asset side, and creates a matching deposit in the borrower's account. When the borrower repays capital on the loan, the operation is reversed.

Old time banks would have a roughly 1:1 ratio of loans to deposits, these days because banks are also borrowing from other entities, that can ratio can get a bit squirrel.
