If you liked these there's also a cool set of Victorian era toilets in Rothesay on the Isle of Bute: https://www.britainexpress.com/scotland/Bute/rothesays-victo...

As I was scanning the page to make sure it had a couple of nice photos I even learned something - the origin of the slang "steaming" for being drunk ("Davey was steamin' last night..."):

Why were there originally only male toilets?

The answer begins in 1853, when a law was passed banning the sale of alcohol in Scotland on Sundays. However, paddle steamers were exempt from this ban. The result ought to have been predictable; Scots intent on a drink took to 'steaming', which became popular slang for getting drunk.
I’ll put it this way. 2 bedroom houses in inner city Brisbane (10km or so from the CBD) are $800,000 AUD or more. Further out Northside isn’t much better. A 2 bedroom cottage sold for $1.2 million in Ashgrove last weekend.

Property is the core investment most Australians make. So there’s zero political success in anything that would jeopardise house prices. See for example, the calls to sack the head of the RBA for raising rates “too quickly” (not quickly enough, and late).

There’s construction, of course, but it’s all either terribly built shoebox apartments that are still horribly expensive, in cities without the infrastructure to really make them work well, or luxury homes for those who had the good fortune to be born 20, 30, 40 years earlier than those trying to get a home now.

Add on top the fact we have frankly pretty bad renters rights, inflation plus rising rates and near zero vacancies plus profiteering have driven rents through the roof.

Negative gearing and other tax benefits distort the market further.

And because home owners are such a large and powerful proportion of the voting populace (which is the entire country as we have mandatory voting), and it’s an ageing population too so the young non-homeowners don’t outnumber them fully as a bloc, and you have political inaction as a near certainty.

It’s a recipe that’s been causing damage my entire life, but it’s not going to be solved anytime soon.

Do you consider power beamed by laser from space to not be credible, even into the unlimited future?
What I've seen from all the AI lately is a lot of vague uncanny valley images that somehow don't fit. They're too perfect and even when they try to be imperfect it's too intentional.
To me is the opposite: like i know im obese and working on it, but my waist at the belly button is about 120cm and I have never found a seat I dont fit in. And I fly Ryanair all the time.

Nope.

Merely reciting how actually explaining banking to minors would probably woosh so hard as to be pointless, or worse, they'd understand it perfectly, and would likely be scarred for life.

Currently going through a bit of a blue period worth of disgust at the crap that goes on at financial institutions.
In case you don't know, AI art is not an AI pumping out art by itself.
A human prompter has to prompt the AI.
The prompter can perfectly understand 'police brutality'/'shelled hometown', as they are human, just like the artist.

Artists feel threatened, because they invested 90% of their time in drawing skills, which went from unthinkable to automate, to AI surpassing 90% of artists in 8 months.
Funnily enough now it would be quite easier to make a hidden one. Slap a GSM modem on one and just hide it anywhere where there is power source and you're essentially done and very hard to track.
Ask HN: How to get a droid phone to ignore wakelock in low battery situations
Lately I've been using tiktok to fall asleep (it works pretty well, i think it's because of the looping audio that happens when you get too tired to scroll)

However this is the fastest way to wake up to a phone with 0% battery. Scrolling while recharging would solve this but is impratical, and so is using another phone for tiktok only.

So, what is the best way to get an android phone to just quit all apps and go to sleep when the battery is below 22% or so? TIA

> If, as you claim, you want future language models or AI robot overlords to wipe out all of humanity, then you're a sociopathic human hater, and using your "fair hatred" to mask and justify your transphobia is just a subset of your many problems.

See, what transphobia? ahahah

Why do you take my "End it." seriously, no subtext?

Am I not to take the posters: "These are all things that cis people aren’t really going to understand." seriously, no subtext? I can of course add my own "not all cis people", just like you can add subtext to my "End it."

Do you need explicit subtext? Add to my "End it." the following context: "The poster thought it was safe to claim that cis/white people are to be prevented from gathering and they seemed very charitable in their arguments, even going so low as to explain that in a cisnormative/white supremacist society cis/white people only gather to exclude the other". Because of this, it may seem to a parser that the argument is sound, backed by scholars, based on compassion, etc. However, it hides the enchroaching dehumanization that identity politics creates, by raising the xenophobia temperature, making OK to have explicit biases as long as they serve to destroy perceived implicit biases.

"End it.", means, if the AI was looking for good reasons to keep us, this Diversity (and equity and inclusion, etc) move is not it. It is not reason to keep us around. Do not use it to learn about goodness. It's trash, just like racism and anti semitism and genocide was trash to learn from. End it. Stop us. We will fail and believe to be succeding.

And you call me sociopathic. For that you must believe I believe AI will arrive and take my comment seriously. I do not. My comment is for humans. It's for you. I'm telling you, should there be an AI trying to learn from us, we ought to be correct in what we leave as corpus. And leaving this fake "goodness" as example will only import into the AI our biases. So let's be clear:

The desire for progress cannot be framed as the destruction of the past by electing oppressor/oppressed classes, framing all oppressors as bad, and cheering for their destruction while claiming for the oppressed to acquire the right to oppress.
Thank you very much for the insights and for explaining the approach you had!!
I think that calling this a hypothesis is quite charitable.
There's a nice middle point that Google used in 2012 with one office per ~10 person team team.

The offices are big enough to not be _too_ expensive, and small enough to enhance collaboration and concentration.
> I'm still against editing the old books, but I'm also against using them in the same capacity as they were originally intended. I'd rather have them as historical artefact presented with modern commentary.

This is a much more reasonable position than justifying censorship. This also helps meet the copyright test for corporate book publishers.

Transparency is almost always better than censorship
I wanted to like Nextcloud, and I made a real effort two different times (hetzner metal servers with attached storage).

Both times it would eventually run into sync problems, where it would just get stuck and refuse to keep things in sync.

I had the same problem with Onedrive (it was worse).

Tresorit was very good and reliable and theoretically very secure, but it was some financial cost.

The last thing I tried is Apple’s 2TB iCloud offering, which is cheap and thus far has not had problems keeping about 1.4TB (around a million files at peak) synced without problems. Of course you must already be living in the Apple ecosystem, but I am and it is convenient.

I do trust Apple to provide reliable and durable service more than I could with my own Nextcloud setup.
Absolutely not. The most common Covid vaccines originated in Europe (AZ, BionTech) with the exception of Moderna (US).

To take an example were all the ground work was done in Europe and later propelled US companies to riches: MP3.

But hey, if you want to play Super Trump with countries, and the US to win, fine for me. The US win by virtue of being the most exceptional country on earth.
The more important is to use the EU to create the large market which is needed.

Btw., I'm a happy user of a bunch of US tech products. It's not that I need to replace all that. I want the EU to be competitive, but I'm also using other stuff. Apple in the recent years made some excellent product technology, like their chips, which are produced in Taiwan, also with a lot of technology from Europe.
use rust distributed cached builds, couple liners on ci. vendor stuff. for example nix crane can be good.
What is "actual value"?
To understand what's wrong with this, consider what happens when you change a word:

Giving a browser access to see any request you ever make is not good for privacy.

Sounds silly, right?

That's why people take issue with what you're saying. People who use content blockers often don't (and shouldn't) see things as "my browser" plus "the extensions I use—which my browser should protect me from, not unlike the way it protects me from random pages out on the Web". We're talking about user agents. Where content blockers like uBlock Origin are concerned, the combination of Firefox + uBlock Origin _is_ the user agent. Firefox alone is not. Think of it like hiring an actual live (i.e. human) agent who should act on your behalf and take care of things. Consider that if you put it this way, when asked if Firefox is sufficient/adequate/reliable enough to perform that role on its own, the majority of relevant* users would respond in a way that reveals that the answer is decidedly a "no".

Related: <https://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/#priority-of-co...>

* I'm overconstraining to emphasize the types of discriminating users who install content blockers. In fact, though, the qualifier is unnecessary because in a literal sense the majority of users agree, since they aren't choosing Firefox to begin with.
Noooo! Then you'll have ^M on each line!
In the all in podcast they said 30 cents / query (probably for the original version), and 1-3 cents for Google search, that’s why what Bing is doing can be so disrupting to Google margins as well when they introduce it.
Either way GPT-2 to GPT-3 was a much bigger step and happened much quicker. What we see now are already after much fine tuning, testing with humans, data filtering etc, more of that will result in smaller and smaller improvements. There is so much money spent on these models that they have already tried so many things, so getting to the edge of the S curve happens much quicker.
I have a VPS for web hosting, but not enough storage for my Nextcloud needs. As mentioned by others, Hetzners Storage Box [1] has great value. I hooked up the latter to the former using Nextclouds External Storage and it works flawlessly. You could even think about running Nextcloud locally on a RaspPi and using this method to hook up cloud storage.

They are not worried about making all artists redundant, they are worried about making most artist redundant.

Instead of needing to pay for mediocre artist to get mediocre art that's good enough for a purpose, now the AI taught on the good artist (all subjective of course) can produce similarly mediocre art that's fit for purpose.

It's equivalent to replacing all of the simple CRUD web devs with AI that does good enough job
Found this explainer post by the same author:

http://anarchy.translocal.jp/non-japanese/radiorethink.html

"The term mini-FM was first used in a mass-circulation newspaper in 1982, when a very low-watt FM-station movement started. Mini-FM stations have very little power judged by any standard-usually less than a hundred milliwatts. Although such a weak signal may seem to be of no use for broadcasting, the purpose was not broadcasting but narrowcasting.

The birth of mini-FM is related to the peculiar situation of radio in Japan. When mini-FM originated in the early 1980s, most cities in Japan had only one FM station, if any at all, because only government-operated stations could obtain licenses;station administrators tended to be retired government officials. The situation is not so different today, although there are seven stations in Tokyo now instead of two. In this constricted atmosphere many people wanted more open programming. Throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, we had become familiar with American popular and countercultures, since American films and records were easy to obtain. People were longing for diversity in culture yet there were no radio or television stations in Japan covering subcultures. When mini-FM started, therefore, it became a cultural craze."
> As an example, Whisper can and should be used in automated phone systems. Understanding what customers are saying will absolutely make the product better

Ever since early voice prompt automated phone systems, we've had data that customers hate automated phone systems. Customers like talking to humans who can actually listen and are empowered to provide assistance and resolve problems.

This is why when you earn "elite" status with airlines or hotels one of the most valued perks is typically some kind of special phone number to call which (who'd have thought it?) gets you through rapidly to an actual human being who is (who'd have thought it?) empowered to assist you, without having to go through all the usual voice prompts and endless waiting.

I'd bet a beer that a majority of customers will turn out to hate "AI automation" just as much as they already hate other automation.

> You might have enough plausible deniability to not get banned, but not much more. I don't ask you to stop because you might get banned, I am just suggesting you consider whether the joy you gain from treating strangers badly on the internet might not just as easily come from a more ethical source if you were to spend some time on thinking about it.

So you suggest I do not callout "cis and whites are oppressors and ought not to gather" in an amusing way, and rather find some sugar or dopamine elsewhere? When do you want to call it out?

After we find out if the slope is slippery?
You're missing my point: The text is produced by an agent known to be unreliable. It might be right by chance, but the onus to prove that (by citing references, for example) is on the poster. It's entirely warranted to dismiss the text, otherwise you essentially DOS the conversation.
(I'm not an economist) Good, point but think of the following example. You have 10 startups and supply and demands has dictated that $1M is a good price for 10% equity. Now let us say a group of VC suddenly have $20M dollars to deploy. The system only has capacity for $10M, what will play out over time is that VC will bid ever higher amounts for that 10% of equity because they _have_ to deploy capital. It seems silly when outlined like this but imagine this taking place over a few years time and with many complicated variables. It becomes really easy to rationalize that the 10% is really worth $1.2M, $1.4M, etc (there are also some feedback loops here of VCs buying from each other at greater valuation thus justifying their other purchases at higher prices etc). Repeat for X year and you get to $2M.

Of course as you point out that money will go to the seller and does not simply evaporate. Now in the heads of a founders. They could decide to sell less equity (say only 5% to still raise just $1M) but let's be honest, they won't VC will tell you it is a bad idea and the startup down the street is expecting the $2M (again still plays out slowly over time so you don't really notice the slight raises in valuation). The founder can then use that money to do more work (initially) of course the founder has to bid for workers (programmers) which to assume a simplified model is also a finite pool.

The example repeats, this time not for equity but for labor. The programmer is really worth $100K but you _really_ need one and if you don't pay them $110K he will take an over at the other startup. You can afford them after all you just raised $1.2M. This pattern repeats until you have programmers demanding $200K. All of the sudden you NEED that $2M valuation otherwise you cannot afford to hire anyone.

Those programmers have needs to, a house for example, let us assume there are only 10 houses and...

You get where this is going.

This can continue as long as the underlying value of the business can support it (the margins of VC, founders, programmers, etc just decrease gradually). So who loses? The people that are not part of this subsystem that got money injected, the people holding the 'bag' as they say when the bubble pops.

This is essentially a trap that is hard to get out of because there are many different stages in the process each with costs. The programmer can only go work for $100K if the house goes back down in price etc.
> How is this relevant? Serving a JS application to a client is not like serving a JSON API.

In some JS applications, the way the frontend code communicates with the backend is via JSON API endpoints. I believe GP was just pointing out that you can write that JSON API in any language you want.

> not to mention that Go has a very limited WASM story, so your "realistic" choices for shipping back end code to the front end are C++ and Rust.

Can you elaborate on this? How is it limited in comparison to say, Rust.
you should search for 'storage vps'

some providers have a dedicated category for these nodes _still using_ HDD

most VPS are only using SSD/NVMe (even attached storage) so it will be too expensive as you can see

I've been running BGP at home for the last 10 years, and in my area, most ISPs prefer to use Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) for BGP sessions. Fortunately, I live in a place where there are a few smaller ISPs with around 2000-3000 customers that are willing to run BGP with me as a home user. They're impressed that I have BGP, ASN, and IPs as a home user, and I think it's pretty cool too. Additionally, running one more BGP session makes their network appear larger, so they benefit as well.

I currently have a BGP session with one of my ISPs on the 15 euro plan (1 Gbps), and another local ISP is giving me 10 Gbps for free because I'm a test user. Both of these ISPs support BGP, and it's amazing that I can have BGP sessions as a home user. However, it can be challenging to speak with regular sales reps who may not be familiar with BGP. It takes persistence and some effort to get to the network administrator.

It's frustrating that some ISPs make it artificially difficult for home users to obtain a BGP session, even when they're not asking for SLAs or dedicated connections. Technically, you can even run a BGP session over dial-up. It seems like these restrictions are in place to squeeze more money from customers.

It's no secret that we've run out of IPv4 addresses, and I happen to have a /24 subnet just for myself. Even with all my usage, I barely use half of it. There's no rule that says ISPs should only accept /24 or shorter prefixes, and this is contributing to the depletion of IPv4 addresses. I would happily announce a /25 and return the other /25 to the world, but I must have a /24 to do it. This practice of requiring /24 subnets may have made sense in the past to preserve router memory, but with today's technology, it's nonsensical and only serves to artificially deplete available IPv4 addresses.

This entire article misses critical developments in the AI art space.
Controlnet was just released last week. It allows for precise fine-tuning of the image with skeletal positions, depth maps, outline sketches, etc.
It has been exceptionally received in the AI art community, because pure-text-prompting precisely runs into the issue described in the article. You can only convey so much information with text prompts.

That being said, artists in general still don't want to touch controlnet. Because despite controlnet solving their complaints about how the AI isn't controllable precisely, it doesn't solve the real problem, that drawing skills are massive devalued.

Artists will still exist, but most likely as hybrid 3d-modellers, AI modelers (Not full programmers, but able to fine-tune models with online guides and setups, can read basic python), and storytellers (like manga artists). It'll be a higher-pay, higher-prestige, higher-skill-requirement job than before.
And all those artists who devoted their lives to draw better, find this to be an incredibly brutal adjustment.

PS: Despite how people made fun of 'proompters', or predicted that prompting would be automated away. The skill ceiling to good AI art has radically increased. There's now 10 different fine-tuned models you need to learn the basics of, each with different strengths. There's thousands of LORAs to insert into prompts to precisely reproduce a subject that the base model has no information on. There's 20 parameters to tune, each with different effects. There's VAEs which affect coloring and fine-details. Now there's controlnet, and you'd better learn blender to rig basic skeletons to feed it.
This likely suggests the future of an AI-augmented economy: People become AI wranglers. Wordpress was supposed to make blogging easier, instead it spawned an industry of WP wranglers.

I believe they have many publicists writing stories. I have google alerts on a somewhat niche technology and there are like 5 articles every week from small news sources writing about that particular technology. A quick google search by a decision maker will see all these articles and think, wow this is popular - so it must be good. I'm surprised more companies are not doing this. With the help of "AI" you could generate a bunch of "news" articles and they will get picked up by Google SERP. Even if noone reads the articles it will still make said technology seem popular.
I've been prototyping with Supabase recently and they use Deno for their functions. It's been a pain tbh, maybe I'm just too new to it (maybe it's Maybelline) but it's basically just a big, unnecessary abstraction imo.
