How will it be different from the competition?

Why would I want to go there? For example Blind makes you use your work email which I guess some people think makes it more “legit” knowing it’s all tech ppl while Reddit makes it easy for anyone to participate in a niche topic like AI or even more niche like some specific field within AI. The barrier to entry there is super low.

No, I don't think that it has to do with modality.

Again, IANAL, but as I understand it, the legal line is how much of the art was created by a human. There is certainly a gray area here that will have to be hashed out, but I don't think it's as large as you think it is.

The rulings are going to be about whether or not the creative work is the work of a human. I imagine that a case can be made that describing a work to a machine and having the machine engage in the creativity part means the creative work is done by the machine, not the human.

But if the human did the creative work and the machine modified it, then the work is done by the human.

Of course, we're all speculating here. I have no idea how the courts will rule on these things. I could even see the necessity of Congress making some clarifying laws.

Also, understand that I am not expressing what I personally think should be the case. I'm just trying to work out what is, or is likely, to be the case.
TBH I think many people avoid it because they read "Intel" as "Intel only," but it works great on AMD.
You need stainless for acidic foods. We have both types of frying pans. The problem with Teflon as I understand it is that it breaks down to PFAS at temperatures that are easy to reach in a frying pan. It might be that Teflon other things are better (like a stand-alone grill thing), but I just try to avoid it.
You are wrong. San Francisco does not even build enough homes to match natural population growth. Neither do most cities on the Peninsula.
That is so goddamn cool, I love that Framework is making this kinda thing reasonably accessible!

Is this a counter argument? It seems supportive of the point if anything. "Less invested but larger group of people telling a smaller group what to do".
U-2s are also expensive, and it would be a stretch to mount a cannon under any reasonable budget.
The GagWriter Keyboard
Yeah, I don't know where it stores its configuration directory. Also, the on-screen keyboard keeps disappearing, and I can't find a way to keep it on all the time.
More do than you'd think.

But for IPv4, true BYOIP isn't really possible for less than a /24 block, which is overkill for just selfhosting personal email.

It also usually involves needing to set up a company to own/lease the block if you haven't already got one.
Nobody has an inherent right to live anywhere. It doesn't matter if your parents live there. Your grandparents. Your friends. You don't have any inherent right to be their neighbor. You don't have a right to buy across the street or even across town. It's a free market and if 100 other people want to live in the same place and are willing to pay more than you, then you're not going to live their either.

After this zoning change goes through and new houses are built, I'd wager those new houses will still be still priced out of reach of people that want to live in a given area. I'm not saying it's not going to help, but it's not going to magically create 10x the housing density in a given area and bring housing prices down to the point where a low income worker can afford a home. That's a pipe dream.
You are jumping on a very surface-level simple example. Also, you seem to misunderstand what UNIX Shell does (hint, ls and awk are not part of UNIX Shell, so, forward your complaints about ls and awk to the respective authors of those tools).

> But reading scripts is so much better, and from my experience larger scripts are much more maintainable.

What kind of experience do you have maintaining shell scripts?

I maintain a management product that is installable on systems all the way back to RHEL6 (and family), and similarly SLES12, Ubuntu18. The overall matrix of systems and product versions I have to maintain is 20 different OS x product combinations. Most of my maintenance work goes into things like "the release of system X broke the systemd interface to LVM by means of starting udev service too early, now we need to make an exception for this system by altering its configuration somewhere". In order to reduce the burden of maintenance going forward, I need to write scripts that are as generic as possible. If ntpd service was replace by chrony in some distro, I want to have as little code to modify as possible to adjust to the new reality. I don't want to write adapter and factory and other "architecture" for each such change. If I did that, the product cost would skyrocket, while development time plummeted. This would, basically, spell the end for this product. Customers know the risks and accept them. And that is the unfortunate reality of it...

But, if I had to change anything about it, I would never choose objects. This is just replacing one problem with another with very little benefit. What I would like is something like Erlang: records with a handful of predefined atomic types. Objects will bring too much of unnecessary problems with them.

> Powershell can enfore types in function arguments,

I know. This is awful. Especially for maintenance.
Sorry, was talking more about embedded systems bindings. Qt has shims, obviously, to work with Mac/Win/GTK etc but when you're setting up Qt as the windowing system, it needs POSIX.
My interviews still tend to be one or two friendly conversations. Of course I'm freelancing (for big projects) rather than employed, so maybe that changes things. And the actual hiring process can still be long because I do a lot of work for banks and other organisations with a serious screening process, but at its core is still the basic interview that's basically a friendly chat.

When I was responsible for hiring at my previous project, that's also what I did: I want to get to know the person. Is this someone I can work with? I was much more interested in what their most interesting project was, than in which checkboxes they checked. If there was one checkbox I had, it was: "can they admit they don't know something?" because some people just started spewing nonsense if they didn't know the answer to a question.
Ignoring that HTML, CSS and JS have specific performance tradeoffs that allow for flexibility and universality, I'd go with "because I can't name any cross-platform tooling that has ever felt as good as a platform-native alternative".

Show HN: Psychedelia fine tuned Stable Diffusion model
Hi guys!

I did a hackathon this weekend for leapml.dev and built out a site that lets you generate images with stable diffusion in the browser:

https://aiart.fm

Each image gets tagged and stored in a database so you can go back and look at what prompts, seeds, step, models people have used to make nice images. There is also a rudeimntary voting system and the homepage is sorted by highest rated.

But the most exciting bit is I added my own custom fine tuned model to it last night that I'm calling "Psychedelia". All of the top images one the homepage are using this model.

It seems to work best with basic prompts and I often still get artifacts like double heads, but I'm quite happy with the initial results and will continue to fine tune.

The site is built with NextJS, TailwindCSS and Supabase and you can login and generate images for free.

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks,
Alex
Still, they didn't have ChatGPT last year, how did they work?
Yeah, agree that generalizations like "rich people will hold out" don't really hold true when you zoom in on individual home sale scenarios. Yes, the uber wealthy may wait, but those with a W2 often move for a number of reasons related to job, family, health, economic, or other life circumstances that trump the prevailing wisdom of what they should be doing. And then there are those who aren't paying attention or don't care. People want what they want.
Well, before we get into the moral/immoral dimension, the fact is that these areas are growing from net migration in, rather than internal population increase. So in some sense the huge influx of these new residents (typically with high-paying tech jobs) are pushing out the parents and grandparents (and not bringing their own extended families anyhow). So the atomization of intra-family bonds that seems so immoral to you is actually caused by the migration, driven by underlying economic opportunities and not some NIMBY anti-growth mindset.

> It enriches homeowners at the expense of other's misery.

This is a profoundly subjective view, because homeowners could turn around and accuse new residents of enriching themselves at the expense of homeowners; adding traffic, pollution, destroying nature, maybe bringing crime, increasing population which increases distance and reduces oversight of schools and politics, requiring more police. So a lot of people who want to keep their town small and close knit would disagree with the premise at the outset. Do communities have rights too?
Courts may disagree, but the head of the bureaucracy that runs this program said all cities that "are in various stages of approval"(a.k.a. not approved) as of Feb. 1 are out of approval and builders remedy is available.
Also of interest, I saw a post[1] a few days ago about how to allow this Emacs build to use external tools like git from Termux.

Why are you working with hierarchies of objects? Are we back in 90s C++ land?

PowerShell objects are flat, 99.99% of the time.

And when you say compare, you don't compare objects, also 99.99% of the time. You compare attributes.
Ask HN: Dealing with ADHD Without Medication?
Any tips and tricks? I have been on-and-off stimulants for the last decade but recently quit cold turkey because I got sick and tired of dealing with all of the availability issues. I also hate being so dependent/reliant on psychiatrists who in my experience don't really give a shit about you or your wellbeing. I hated needing to ask for refills every 30 days, hoping that they would respond in a timely manner and that the stars would align so there was no interruption.

That being said, my life has almost come grinding to a halt. It has been 3 months and I am still struggling to get back to a decent baseline. I am beginning to wonder if it is possible to live life without them, which is an additional strain on my emotions.

Has anyone here gone down a similar path to treat this in their own way without schedule I controlled substances?
Could I ask why she has an issue? I've heard some people have had problems with them but as someone who was born and raised on cast iron I've never really understood.
I would love this for my David VP2 station. It looks like it’s not available in the United States but they say it’s resold by ambient weather. Does anyone know of an alternative source? If this is it that’s more than twice the EU price. https://ambientweather.com/amweatherbridgepro.html
Both were produced because there was money to be made, both have at least some negative effect on society.

Granted, the scale of the problems are different, and the axis onto which they act is also different. But I stand by my comparison.
> You're probably referring to the California Environmental Quality Act. It is very unclear how these two things intersect. My guess is some court will decide sometime in the future.

A trial court already has already ruled that it does and that environmental review has to be completed before a project enters the Buklder’s Remedy process.

Appeals and further legislation are likely.
Or overheating the pan, which is basically unavoidable.
It looks like the 39% number is just the non-weighted average across 17 categories of chores https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/figure?id=10.1371/.... So saying "39 percent of the time that people currently spend on a given unpaid domestic work task could be automated within the next ten years" is only true if one spends an equal amount of time currently on each task, which is obviously not true...
I don't agree with this take, talking as someone who has maintained their own email server in one form or another for many years. I think the separation of components in the traditional email stack is absolute bonkers and an artefact of various historical happenings, and not a technical necessity. That's why I love projects like Maddy or Mox who ship the whole stack in a single binary. Yes, you need to learn about DKIM, SPF and other high level email protocol concepts, but you shouldn't have to know how components interact between each other. So my recommendation to people is to go with projects like Maddy and Mox, and hopefully more people will host their own emails because of the lower entry barrier, so we can get some empathy from huge providers like Google and Microsoft.
And it’s entirely their fault too if it ends up being the case.

Engineers love showing themselves the door from their work lol.
If we put this on docker, that would avoid a similar situation in future right
It is about Local-ism. You make stupid rules at city level, you feel the consequences and people who want to advocate their position can travel few blocks for them to be at least heard. Try that at State level esp. in a massive state like CA, TX, FL and NY.

State bureaucracy is far removed from the people.. you are just a row in an excel sheet, if you are lucky.
Zoning is based on the principle that it's not your land. You are merely its steward for the short time that you are on this planet, and then someone else will become its steward. Know that time will come eventually, the rules prevent someone from causing damage that society does not want to be forced to clean up.

But yeah, these rules are draconian and surpass their intended spirit, creating regulatory capture for the construction industry and preventing perfectly acceptable possibilities that the community would want.

For example, I want to create a summer camp for kids here on my farm, but zoning and other over-regulation actively prevents me from building any of the needed dorms, classrooms, or kitchen/bathing facilities. Countless possibilities like this are being crushed every day. I personally have given up trying.
Rent has gone down in recent years at least
...its the exact same damn thing. Parse text, put it into variables. PowerShell has the equivalent of all those same tools.

The big difference is that you don't have to use them for every goddamned command.
Compare and contrast that to this, from current OpenAI head Sam Altman, in which he literally promises AI systems that will tailor themselves to the user's political views -- which comes way too close for me to promising that they'll tell the users whatever they need to hear to keep them happy. https://twitter.com/sama/status/1627110892059099138

(text from Altman: "we don’t want ChatGPT to be pro or against any politics by default, but if you want either then it should be for you; working on this now")
Pile on even more "requirements" (things to do to increase one's chances) and you're proving the GP's point.
Sometimes the disconnect between what is taught and what is expected by lecturers in assignments is very big, don't feel too bad!

It could be because they are coming at it from the "experts bubble" (I'm sure someone will know the proper name) where they can't conceive of the types of problems someone coming at it with no experience will encounter.

Going from a tiny "hello world" OS you've made by following instructions and notes to being dropped into a totally different codebase that uses probably entirely different patterns and conventions seems a little unfair. It's like expecting someone who has played around with some graphics API for drawing pixels to expecting them to make changes to the DirectX shader compiler.

I had a similar experience - a totally new professor gave us a about 5 lectures on parsers, compilers, AST's, BNF etc, and then just expected us to design a whole language that would be compiled to C for the assignment, using classic tools like yacc etc. For reference, the average programming ability of the students in the class was "What's a switch statement?".

Absolutely everybody failed to achieve anything, and the only reason I even passed it was because I took an example language the professor provided and reviewed it and stated how I would liked the language to work instead.

It's all a bit absurd.

Historically, local governments have made a large number of horrible / immoral decisions, and sometimes the state or federal powers step in to override them. This is a constitutional democracy.
"We live in a society." Realistically, your neighbors have a lot more invested in your land/home/whatever than the state government.
From TFA:

Then TFA discusses one in particular at some length that did get their HE in by the deadline and had it rejected.
Quite a few do intentionally lose money on the gas itself, but it depends on the circumstances for the particular station. They consider the gas a loss leader. People are very price-conscious when it comes to gas and will drive far out out of their way to save a couple of pennies. Very few gas stations can afford to price their gas higher than other gas stations, and there is very often a price war going on between stations.

But even the ones who don't lose money are nearly always only breaking even on the gas.

It's a lot like how movies theaters make basically nothing from the ticket sales for the movie. They make their money at the concession stand.
You can change those colors in 10 seconds :-)
I think I'm legitimately an egg cooking expert at this point. I've cooked eggs in 1000 different ways on different pans. There's no comparison - a non-stick pan is going to trivially handle eggs, regardless of how your pan is oiled, the heat, etc, whereas a cast iron is only going to do a decent job if you're cooking eggs in a few specific ways and you take care to control temperature and oil.
This underscores is the hilariously hypocritical nature of these arguments: "my property rights give me the right to deny others their property rights"

It's very much like the "first speaker" issue with free speech "advocates"; somehow the first homeowner/speaker has greater rights than the newer homeowner/speaker.

The lack of self-awareness is breathtaking sometimes.
"Even generating an image in this way on a decent laptop will take minutes"

That is false, my 2020 14" laptop will do a batch of 4 in less than 15 seconds.

Still, its neat... but also useless if Qualcomm doesn't push it upstream (or open it up at the very least).
Yeah the best part of the mermaid style approach in my eyes, is how easy it is to update them. Instead of having to open visio, export a svg/png, add the picture to the repo, embed the picture into markdown and then deal with the inevitable text scaling issues; I can just write a few lines of some DSL and instantly see my chart embedded within my markdown preview.

That said, I think it really comes down to if you are creating the chart for a README / code documentation, or if you are creating it for a powerpoint presentation. The latter would obviously miss the mark if done with mermaid, etc since none of the benefits really apply anymore.
Yup, thats what I was trying to say from the beginning and why I was so confused with all the concerns.
Everyone, a priori, thinks "local control" means local power.

But unfortunately it doesn't. It means the worst sort of leisurely fools who happen to be your neighbors monopolizing local power, at everyone's expense.

This is the problem with "democracy" as such. In the american mythology it's about self-governance, but the more "direct, local" one makes it, the more absurd such a proposition becomes. As an empirical matter, people cannot govern themselves.

People are too poor in time, energy, concern, care, etc. to do so; and those who arent are the least fit to do it.

Democracy was never, nor should be, about "self-governance". It's about accountability. It's simply a mechanism to prevent tyranny.

The right "level" of democracy is one which maximises one's daily experienced freedom. And "local democracy" so often is a daily oppression on those who experience it.

America is overwhelmed by local corruption, housing-associations, and the like. It's one of the major reasons I would never live there.
> Once that's enabled iOS will now bring up a super secret popup menu whenever you double tap the screen with three fingers.

On current iOS you don't need to be in zoom and double tap. The zoom filter is also available by tapping the "Zoom Filter" setting which is 6 items below the Zoom setting in Settings -> Accessibility -> Zoom. The double tap in zoom thing is there to make it easy to quickly change the filter while zoomed.

This and the white point setting void-pointer suggested are both controllable from Shortcuts.

There is a Zoom action that supports turning zoom on, off, or toggling it, a White Point action that supports turning it on or off, and a Brightness action that supports setting the brightness to a given percentage or asking for the brightness.

I just tried making two Shortcuts, "Low Light" and "Normal Light".

Low Light:

Turn Zoom On
Turn White Point On
Set Brightness to 0%

"Hey Siri, Low Light" then works. It does leave you zoomed, so you need to cancel that, but then you are left at 0% brightness and whatever Zoom filter you have set is in effect. "Turn White Point On" will set the white point reduction to whatever percentage you have it set to in the Reduce White Point system settings.

Normal Light:

Turn Zoom Off
Turn White Point Off
Set Brightness to <ask each time>

That does what you'd expect. Siri asks you what brightness you want from 0 to 1. You can change that to a specific percentage if you don't want to be prompted.

PS: This only fully works on iOS. On iPadOS zoom filters only work while actually zooming, and then only apply to what is shown in the zoom rectangle. On iOS the zoom filter applies when zoom is enabled regardless of whether or not you are actually zoomed.

The white point reduction does work on iPadOS so you do get some lowering of minimum brightness but not as much as on iOS when you can use both.
95% of municipalities are in the wrong here? Doubtful.
Automating Dependabot PR Merges with CI/CD

I don't even think what they say holds in the US either - so must be elsewhere.

In the U.S you have brand name with their often noisy labels full of marketing - and then store brand (which is often the exact same stuff as the brand name in different packaging - or stuff that was rejected from quality control of the name brand so is almost the same stuff just slightly worse by some unknown metric). I buy store brand for basically everything but a few food items where the quality is worse enough to be off-putting. Store brand labels aren't quite as plain as No Name labels but are usually a bit more bespoke or just "lower quality" like they didn't want to pay for a graphic designer so had some intern whip up a graphic for the label.

I know the U.K has No Name brand which to my understanding also markets itself as the cheaper no-fuss alternative?
