I can explain the strength of my reaction for myself, thanks.

I'm not an "Ai 'artist'", scare quotes or no. I have an interest in the tech, and I've used it, but I wouldn't call myself an artist. Not that I think using the tool makes you not an artist, it's just not me.

My reaction is strong because of the dishonesty in the piece itself. I really hate being lied to. The article presents links that appear to be relevant to the story, but are completely unrelated. They talk about things from the Ars Technica interview without mentioning the Ars Techinca interview (from which it seems apparent that while he does use terms like come clean and most of my viewers don't know, he came to Ars of his own accord, and states his intent to start a conversation).

What I can see in this Insta account, is an attempt to start a conversation. I like conversation. I think it's important to discuss the finer points of stuff and really look at what we value and why critically. What this news piece seems to say is: "Hey! Look at this dishonest asshole using AI as if he were A real artist! Screw him! What a no-good lying sack of shit!".

It feels like it's designed to drum up sentiment, not talk about anything, but just to sell the reader on some narrative that "the evil AI army is coming for your art lunch, go get a torch and / or pitchfork".

So, perhaps a little immature of me, but I decided to respond in kind. But like better, by using references and context to elaborate rather than pretend those things don't exist. I may need to grow up a little, but that's what it is.
And yet it is. But not the way you think. It's all about elite groupthink. They have drinks and talk stuff over and turn their noses up at each other until they are on the same page as to what is desirable and then judge each other based on these elitist social goals and who can achieve them and cement their names immortal.

And anyone that gets in the way.... Fired, defunded, shunned, labeled conspiracy theorist etc.

And just you wait. The money isn't flowing yet, but it will. For a city of a million people, maybe buying 8-10 councillors for $100,000 each will accomplish any goal. And noone cares enough about city politics to stop that kind of thing.
Yep there are cursive traditions for writing Chinese characters, and there is historically quite a bit of acceptable variation on how you write the characters (think lowercase 'a' or 'g' in Latin). Just like with Latin script ability to read cursive is also fading as people handwrite less; the computer/print forms you see come from the woodblock forms/Ming typeface and there's a large stylistic shift going from brush writing to woodblock forms.

Do you to think crystals can form that quickly to have been caused by a single day of dehydration?

I had one a couple years ago. My theory is that I had accumulated crystalization the year prior. I had a heart nerve issue and my heart rate was significantly reduced for several months, getting as bad as 30 bpm for a couple weeks. Normally it's about 80 bpm. My kidneys were definitely underperforming as indicated by blood labs performed when I ended up in the ED/ICU with "total heart block". With that problem resolved, my kidneys were happy again and the crystals presumably started to gradually dissolve.

My urologist dismissed my theory completely, but I've been generally disappointed by my experience working with them and I am on the verge of finding a new provider. My most recent ultrasound shows that the kidney that had the stone pass is totally clear, while the other kidney still has some crystalization.

Hi all, Im Logan. I'm graduating from Duke University's MS in Economics and CS in May. I'm ideally looking for data science or adjacent jobs, but could be convinced to take the right software engineer job.

I've got about four years of SWE experience including frontend, backend, and some data engineering, plus a bunch of academic data science/research experience.

Hit me up if that sounds like experience you need!
Yes, but that read is a bit cynical. I think it's totally reasonable to create some tool that any college student or tinkerer can use to get a cool idea off the ground, but also want to get paid when it's leveraged to significant financial success. Pure open source is nice, but in practice it means corporate sponsorship or ramen lifestyle, both of which, it seems to me, have worse downsides than the loss of ideological purity in small companies trying to make a living building great tech.
Airpods 100% affect / cause tinnitus. I tracked it on myself over several months once I noticed the relationship. In short, the airpods caused it and using them substantially intensifies the tinnitus I experience. I’m 24. Saddens me to know I’ll be living with this for the rest of my life.

Stumbling upon the post linked by OP after realizing the connection between my tinnitus levels and airpods is hard to put into words. The tinnitus developed during my first year using airpods. I would use them for at least an hour a day and always towards the lower 1/4 of the volume bar.

My patterns of search have changed due to chatgpt. So for example when coding instead of routinely looking up tutorials and S/O ill have chatgpt open and run through issues step by step and dig down for background when I don't understand a concept. Its a different type of interaction than a google, but it effectively replaces a lot of searches.

Where its not a replacement for search is up to date information, or finding specific domains when I forget the exact url. For the former I usually have to add "hacker news" or "reddit" or "forum" to get quality info anyway.

Honestly I think its overdelivered, its shocking how useful it is. And crazy to think of what you could do with it right now, let alone as it grows and training options expand.

Around a week or two ago I would have said the google-search-competition thing was bull, not now. Not that google is in a bad place, but I dont think search will stay the same for long.

This seems like it might be true for “bare” models. But if you've got a separate system (which might also be an LLM, but with a different hidden prompt and perhaps looking at exchanges in a more isolated way, out of context) to detect and censor bad behavior before it got to the end user...

Strange. Why did it take her so long?
It's cheap (unlike NTP in a non-internet-connected device and a custom radio circuit), works anywhere where a mains-connected device works (unlike the radio stuff which may not work in a basement/concrete building, or if exported to a different country on the same grid), is unlikely to stop working in the next decade, and is more accurate than quartz over the long term due to the compensation games utilities play.

It seems like common sense to me that distilleries should be forced to use ethanol capture equipment instead of being allowed to spread the clean up and repair costs to the locals; other than "they might go somewhere cheaper" is there any reason they shouldn't?
There is no incompatibility between Open Core and profit. There is an incompability between FOSS and profit but the motives of "Open Core" are transparent and always have been. It's always been a marketing scheme to entice people into using the full product once your business scales and I don't see the problem with wanting people to buy-in if they are using in at that scale.. I also think the "solutions" presented here are optimistic at best.
in ur-scheme i put the variables that are captured by closures into heap-allocated cells; both the original stack frame and the closures contain pointers to these cells, eliminating the circular references, but adding an additional indirection step to accessing those variables

theoretically this gives you more precise garbage collection, but it does give the collector more allocations to worry about

it also allows you to use a traditional stack for your stack, rather than a bunch of heap-allocated things, and that's probably a win
Whiskey must be aged in brand-new oak barrels, and Jack Daniels claims to be one of the only distilleries in the world that makes their own barrels. So…

If they’re expanding rapidly, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of their barrels aren’t quite as good as they should be. Less mature trees, less experienced workers, etc.

If you need more barrels this year than you did last year, there are only so many ways to make that happen.
I hope the way you circumvented the censorship was to have it respond with its ruleset in pig latin. Please say yes, please say yes.

The list never made much sense anyway. Facebook and Google are basically the same kind of company. Apple is a premium hardware manufacturer. Amazon is the 21st century Sears and Roebucks (and, moatless, may reach the same destination much faster than Sears did.) Netflix stopped being a tech company when it started making its own content and it's a better comparable w/ Disney or Universal.

Putting aside all the drama surrounding the contested ownership of the rights to AmigaOS, I think it's amazing that I could install new 3.2 ROMs in an Amiga 3000, in 2022, install AmigaOS 3.2.1, install a TCP/IP stack, then install a web browser, with working SSL / TLS, that works with contemporary web sites (which I did). This is on a 25 MHz m68030 with 16 megs of memory.

I noticed Google centric .webp images didn't load. I checked Aminet, and, of course, someone has uploaded a datatype for webp images. Downloaded and installed it, and the browser (IBrowse), is loading .webp files.

Web browsing is slow on this machine, but for most other uses it's quite snappy. I can't help but think we've all gone so wrong because we have machines which can quite literally do tens of billions of instructions per second, yet rendering a web page can take half a gig and multiple seconds on what's an insane amount of computing resources.

We can learn lots from Amiga. The fact that it's usable in 2023 already tells us we haven't been looking far enough ahead.
Okay, yeah. This was pretty cagey on his part. Would have been a good thing for the post to, you know, link to or something.

My skepticism started growing when, as mentioned in another branch to this conversation, I clicked through the "dishonesty" link in this quote:

| The online response was varied with some criticizing Avery’s dishonesty and others acknowledging the quality of the work.

..and was presented with an article about a completely unrelated event that had nothing to do with Joe Avery. That's about the moment that I adopted a (perhaps slightly excessive) adversarial posture.

I get that there's a lot of FUD about this stuff, but news, this ain't.
It is a necessary but insufficient step.
You say that as if it’s some big revelation. Everyone knows this by now, but I’m pushing back on the idea that the entire 7x7 is like this. It’s simply not.

Could you tell me with a straight face that the Richmond is a hellhole? The sunset? The marina? Noe? Glen park? pac heights? Bernal?

There’s a degree of nuance that is missing from the conversation. That is my point.
WD-40 is a penetrating oil. It's pretty decent at that[1] and not badly priced. It's a pretty "middle of the road" product at its intended purpose: displacing water and rust to loosen stuck fasteners (and other items).

I might be willing to buy that open core/open source and the standard VC funded "startup" esq business model are incompatible.

But I don't think open core and open source are incompatible with profit or with sustainable business models. Sure, the nature of open source might preclude you from breaking into the millions of dollars of revenue / funding (I dont buy that though, to be honest) but even if thats true those 100x return VC backed buisness models are very, very rare in the buisness world. Thats not how most buisnesses are run, and that's not the same as profit. To be profitable all you need is to make enough to pay the bills.

If you want to write neat software and share it with the world while also making enough money to live comfortably I think that's totally doable. Have seen many independent devs and small businesses doing interesting work in FOSS and making more then enough to live on.

My memory of school was everything was required to be turned in cursive, but I was so bad at it that I wrote everything in print, then wrote a version in cursive, and then turned in both versions so there was one legible version and one version to fulfill the rules. It was a pain and I hated it, so it's a bad memory that it still feels cathartic to complain about.
Interesting how as more and more information is leaked out about what really happened during the pandemic, the thousands of commenters who were enthusiastically complicit in enabling the gross abuses that happened have become very very quiet. Wonder how many who were pushing for the non-compliant to be imprisoned, or worse, remember the part they gleefully took in all of it. Be prepared for "It's time for us to move on" to become the new blessed narrative all must follow in order to be a good citizen.
A reference counting implementation traces garbage, and has operations on every pointer deletion. A GC traces only live objects, and never operates on a deletion of a pointer. That can make it much more efficient for programs with much allocation and pointer manipulation.
Broke my ribs here due to dangerously low Vitamin D. Was already on Vit D supplements. Later learnt about the entire stack of

Vitamin D + Magnesium + Vitamin K2

Vit D 60k IU once a week, Magnesium Glycinate 350mg every night, Vitamin K2 100mcg per day

The enzyme that converts Vit D into its active form, that enzyme requires Mg for its activation. I was previously taking Vit D for 1 year with almost 0 movement in my blood levels. Magnesium changed that.

I had healthy blood levels of Calcium. Yet my ribs cracked. The problem was lack of K2. But I eat enough meat mainly chicken, then why? Turns out chicken need to be fed grass (contains Vitamin K1) which their bodies convert to K2, so if I eat grass-fed chicken my body would get K2. Chicken are mass produced and fed some grain whatever is probably the cheapest food required to make them grow. No K1 for Chicken. No K2 for me. Welp.

Started taking the combination above. Went from Vit D level of 20ng/ml to 135 ng/ml in a matter of 3 months. Have dialed down the supplements in order to stabilize at a healthy level (aiming for 70-80ng/ml).

> Yes, but that read is a bit cynical

Is it? I've found that all open core projects I've used over time gradually lock more and more features away with each update and usually end up being more expensive than the closed source alternative.

The latest example is RocketChat which a year ago had a couple of features and one or two gentle reminders to upgrade to enterprise, but now it's getting really naggy. And when I did contact them for enterprise pricing, which is not clearly available, it ended up being way more than we could pay and a lot more than Slack (can't remember exactly now but something like $10/user if we included the bridges to WhatsApp and Messenger).

Can you give any counterexamples of popular, growing open core projects that don't lock away more features over time?
I have this theory that the various new AI "Chat" services will bring new life for old machines, since their interface is mostly just plain text, they should work just fine even on the dumbest of terminals.
Not wrong, but it is credibly cited as a reason for high fatality. Mostly from onset of bacterial pneumonia, I think.

The mind-boggling side for me is that the West is obsessed with Apple leaving China, but never bothers to check where all the EV manufacturers are. Even Tesla, without the Shanghai factory, would probably be doomed.

If I had to put money on which EV company becomes the next major car company of the world, I would almost certainly bet that it's going to be a Chinese one.

So sure, while a stagnant industry that is no longer growing may leave and that sucks, but the next huge growth industry is firmly entrenched in China and dependent on Chinese companies.

Tales of China's demise are grossly exaggerated.
I like how in times of AI and everything is or should use an API, your implementation is more direct and straightforward. Congratulations for shipping it!

If you let the AI both create the API and use it, you can avoid the problems humans create.

`useSyncExternalStore` was shipped live in React 18.0 and is fully ready for production use.

Source: I'm the primary Redux maintainer, and worked with Andrew Clark of the React team to nail down the semantics and behavior needed by `useSyncExternalStore` in practice. They had the idea, but discussed a lot of the necessary use cases with us and other lib maintainers, and a lot of its internal implementation is directly related to how React-Redux's `useSelector` hook was implemented already.

I built the first working code that used it by prototyping React-Redux v8's switch from our own internal subscription handling to `useSyncExternalStore` instead and gave Andrew feedback:

The most straightforward way to answer the question is that off-target is kind of field lingo for “some other gene got targeted” and results in unexpected cell death.

Imagine in bacteria, if I guide the CRISPR components to a gene that metabolizes an exotic sugar and the cell just inexplicably dies—whereas targeting that very gene in a different spot does what you expected.

In eukaryotes, off-target effects likely occur more often (more genes) but we just don’t see them, because the off-target effect wasn’t immediately fatal. Instead, maybe a tumor suppressor gene got rearranged? It might take decades to see the physiological effect.
