It's the other way round. Dept is discounted potential future growth.

Potential growth and the ability to pay back dept is the foundation for receiving money.

What the author ignores is that it is a race. There are many opportunities but not all will be successful. Failed investments transfer the money from those who made wrong predictions to those who made successful ones. This creates sustained progress because those who are good at predicting the future have the most influence.

How likely is it they'd even consider us worth the effort?
Saying that designers are lazy and its their fault is a weak argument. For sure not all of them are lazy. Most of the time they are told what to produce.

What you are talking about is economics. Its possible to deliver good results faster/cheaper and the result is more timeless. Also clean interfaces are putting function and content in front. Thats why companies choose this.

So dont blame the designer but the boss/manager. Its like saying that app is slow because devs are lazy.
Buy him an iPhone, but tell him to prefer using the Android in front of his friends "because the iPhone is lame and very limiting, but, ugh, ok, if your iPhones arent compatible enough I'll use mine too just for this one thing".

Now he's the one with the cool phone, but he's also got the lame one. Reversal!

A better guess would probably be any job that requires the dexterity, strength, versatility, and sensitivity of human hands (not just one of those, but their combination). Think electricians, or plumbers.
What's amazing is how we mix the two. Case in point, my wife and I are both runners, she measures her pace in minutes per mile, I use minutes per km. When we exchange stats we have to do the conversion. She does it as her running club uses the mile convention. This is despite the fact that we're doing 10 km races. So you're running a 10 km and talking about a '7 minute mile'?!

We're an eccentric bunch!

True. And it's almost guaranteed that the uncensored editions will be "out of print" after a few months.
But you don't understand the fact that this is how modern relationships work.

Internet and texting is where everything happens these days and you can't force your understanding of the world on your kids.

In this day and age, how can anyone even begin to have a relationship without being able to contact them when you want to? It is not something fancy, it's a basic necessity if you want your kid to not turn out a social pariah.
+1 for DM. I'd happily take things "offline" with people here without compromising reasonable anonymity or setting up "burner" emails.

Also an unreserved +1 to more formatting options. I'd just suggest a (reasonable subset of) markdown.
How do you know civilizations don’t last long in historical time? Roman, Byzantine etc. yes all fall, but the earth has been continually inhabited by civilizations since they were invented. Our single data point suggests that, so far, once they are created they last forever.

You'll understand how the game is played one day, I just fear it'll be too late for the EU by then. Here's the trick: "need" is utterly subjective, along with "consent". No matter what definition you think is reasonable and obvious, the EU officials have a billion Euro payoff waiting for them if they just interpret these words differently.

There is no amount of money or business changes these firms can ever make that will stop them being fined because using them as piggy banks to evade the treaties is the goal. The EU doesn't give a crap about your privacy and never has, see how keen it is on vaccine passports for just one example of how quickly their rhetoric vanishes the moment it gets in the way of more power.
>That doesn't make sense, how would that make them money?

They are retroactively altering/censoring the books that people have already purchased, and offering the original uncensored version as a new purchase.

>Secondly, as these are e-books, how would releasing copies of the originals cost them money?

They are not "releasing" copies of the originals, they are selling them for money. People who bought these books as originally written are now going to be forced to pay more money in order to revert their purchases to the original, uncorrupted version.
I ordered a 1/4" guitar cable on Amazon the other day, and in the envelope they accidentally included a huge jar of dietary supplement pills, apparently made out of ox bile.

In some way, Warren Buffet is a nerd. He enjoys accumulating money in the same way other people enjoy programming. They don’t do it to get something done or reach a goal. Rather the work itself is enjoyable.

This way, other things in life become less relevant, which might explain his behavior. Basically, he’s living with a hacked reward function.

Your approach is the first one, sometimes a bit more is needes or you will sell a bunch of nothing.

You're describing the way a normal democratic government works. The EU parliament can't force the commission to do anything other than a mass resignation, which hasn't happened for decades. The "parliament" can't even propose changes to the law, let alone arbitrarily command the Commission like in a virtual government. That means it's not even really a Parliament!

Get him an iPhone.

You let your opinion known, he knows that you are against, so by yielding to his request you will show that his needs - as foolish as they may seem to you - are actually important to you.

Also, the fact that Apple and Google stores have different content is a very big issue for kids. Someone picks up a new game, comes to school, shows it off, everyone gets it, plays it for a day or a week, and then moves on to the next one. If your kid is on another store than doesn't have this game, he is excluded. Repeat this few times and this will leave a mark on him even without someone making fun of him because of that. And the Apple store does get better games first.
No, but I am willing to stop visiting them and/or linking to them.

There is a caveat that a studio may have a cheap set of speakers around to ensure everything sounds acceptable on consumer equipment. But yes that is in addition to expensive monitors, and maybe a subwoofer the size of a minifridge.
> I guess it really shows that we have no way to predict the future.

IDK, I think that in the AI circles the idea that this would happen was clear long before it actually became possible.

I recall a university workshop probably 20 years ago with a discussion about generative art of various forms (music, visual, etc) - as some genres of computer-generated art were a thing even back the - and the main conclusion about genres of "mainstream" art (which were far beyond our reach at the time) was that the difficult part is "judging taste"; in essence, if we got a reasonably accurate way of evaluating that one song/picture/sculpture/whatever is "better" than the other, then the rest is "just" relatively straightforward engineering. So the consensus prediction already two decades ago was that it's going to happen.

And while we don't have that "magic taste function", what we have made is an "indistinguishability" function, which can fulfil a similar role, and is effectively what the "photographer" in this story has used - if a model generates items that are (almost) indistinguishable from "good portrait photography art", however you define that, then it can make "art" that is as good as the rest of it. It can't really go beyond that, because if it accidentally generated something better then the model wouldn't be able to recognize that it's better, only that it's different, and discard that option, so improving on the status quo would require curation from someone with "good taste", but it apparently can beat mediocre photographers by matching the results of good ones.
It renders your statement meaningless then. "The EU won't hurt the economy unless it thinks there's a reason to do so". So what, that statement boils down to nothing.
Waaaait a minute you’re making some enormous leaps here. You’ve read a comment where someone says “it seems like we can't say "mother" anymore…” and have then projected it into this scenario where the word “mother” is banned as hospital policy, and where nurses live in fear of not speaking it lest they be fired.

You’ve described your anxiety about using the wrong language when talking to people … and you’re referring to some third-hand accounts of random online interactions on social media. I think you might need to step back from the computer for a bit and use less social media, because this anxiety does seem a bit self-inflicted. You’re describing reading about a handful of things that happened to other people, have assumed they are bigger and more universal than they are and as a result it’s caused you to be anxious about speaking to people in real life.

I think if you take my original advice - speak to some people in good faith, don’t set out to trigger or “own” them - you’ll find that your assumptions about how much of a minefield these interactions can be are completely unfounded.

In particular if you take the time to listen to some of the perspectives of people who are the subject of some of these changes in language (for example, trans people) you’ll find that they’re just regular people like you or I, who just want to live with a bit of dignity and get treated with a normal amount of respect. They often have to deal with a lot of very explicit hatred, so they tend to be quite forgiving if you mistakenly flub a pronoun, or if you accidentally use their pre-transition name out of habit since you knew them for years prior. You still need to try, it might not come easily at first but it’ll be fine if you enter into a conversation with the best intentions.
I used my M1 MacBook Air last weekend with Asahi and GNOME on train ride for roughly 4 hours (browsing the web, fiddling with a server over ssh, writing a blog post) and when shutting it down, it was still at 78%.

This used to be different when I first installed Asahi, but the GPU driver and other improvements have made battery life something I don't really worry about anymore.
Depends who is calling.

When you have a mandate and say "I am calling on behalf/from/for Citrix, Emc, dell and such, they will often speak.
Currently my personal PC is hooked up to four 1080p monitors, each 21.5" because that's all I could reasonably afford to put on my table (monitor costs, VESA mounts/stands for the weight, GPU that can serve that resolution well).

This setup works pretty well for most things I might want to do: it works well for recording or streaming because I can use one of them purely for the content that I want to show, while managing OBS/music/notes on other monitors.

It also works well for development, because I can look at code and a web browser, as well as have a Git client, terminal or something like docs open all at the same time and switch between those easily. I don't need to worry about overlapping windows or lots of windows on a single monitor, or many tiny tiled windows, or having to manage everything with multiple workspaces - everything is just there, side by side.

I can also vaguely organize things by importance, if I feel like it - my development stuff can be front and center (two widescreen monitors atop of one another), some utilities etc. on a vertical monitor to the side, whereas the less important things like e-mail or IM clients etc. to the side further.

I'm not saying that using just a laptop screen isn't workable, because it most certainly is, but for my personal approach more monitors is indeed better, at least up to a point. 3 or 4 monitors feels like the sweet spot so far (especially because it isn't too hard to get a GPU that supports them).

Pain point: if you ever use Windows and have any of your monitors turned vertically, you'll probably want something like FancyZones for the window snapping to work correctly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/fancyzon... Also on widescreen displays it seems to me that vertical taskbars work a bit better, which can be problematic in certain OSes (like Windows 11), but isn't much of an issue in others (most Linux distros).

If VR resolution was better, it'd be nice to take this layout to the max: having windows in 3D space, using them as a monitor each. A bit like what Safespaces did: https://arcan-fe.com/2018/03/29/safespaces-an-open-source-vr...
It also affects people on much larger displays which just want a narrower browser window. So many sites break in random ways (like scrolling not working) or hide important things like the login form when the window isn't wide enough. Clearly many sites are never tested for that.

So many years of talking about responsive web frameworks and half the sites simply don't care.
I was confused by your first reply at first. I think that's because you are answering a different question from a number of other people. You're asking about the conditions under which and AI might fool people into thinking it was a human, whereas I think others are considering the conditions under which a human might consistently emotionally attach to an AI, even if the human doesn't really think it's real.
> So, to believe he's trying to hoodwink you into thinking it's just photography [...] you'd have to be lazy, not paying attention, or trying to sell me on a piece of ragebait. Or all of the above.

I think you missed this part:

> A further issue stemmed from Avery having previously denied that the images were A.I.-generated and were, in fact, taken on a Nikon D810.

People might have been "hoodwinked", to use your words, that it was photography if in fact he told them "I made this with a camera". Those people might then also be reasonably upset to learn they were lied to.
Really? They clearly look generated. Not sure a "confession" was necessary here.
There might be a distribution of neuronal types (and work requirements) out there but I find small monitors suffocating.

Combined with the reduced control of a touchpad versus a mouse and the superior tactile feel of a mechanical keyboard this makes working on laptops a distinctly degraded experience for me.
When I want to write a query, I will use a prepared statement or read the docs of a library I am using to interact with a database, whether that library automatically creates a prepared statement. If I use a prepared statement and later read that code, I never again have to ask myself, whether it is safe. Quite frankly, who does not know about injection and prepared statements should not work with databases.
> [sovereigns] are exempt from VAT and capital gains tax

This is a weird corner of UK tax law. If you buy gold bars and sell them at a profit you have to pay tax on the gains. If you buy and sell the equivalent weight of sovereigns there is no tax to pay, because they're just currency. Buying and selling gold coins in general (like Krugerrands that were not produced by the Royal Mint) attracts tax. Then there are coins which used to be legal tender but are no longer (pre-1837 sovereigns) which have a separate exemption from tax, unless they're a "set" of such coins where there is a different limit.

(Not legal advice!)
Nice to read some good news lately.
according to the article, which provides no references to such an incident, but does highlight the word "dishonesty" with a link, when taking about him. Too bad that the link leads to an article that doesn't mention Joe Avery at all [1]

You know, like when you present a link as if it means something knowing practically nobody is going to click on it. like a lie.

I relate to this. I still tell people I'm an artist, at first brush - as opposed to a UI designer or a coder. And it's okay, and true, because I still paint all night sometimes, still write music and record, even if it isn't for work. I don't think you have to identify yourself as your job...
This aticle is funny. Author choose silverblue, then proceed to remove/disable and/or criticize almost everything that makes it a Fedora distro.

Fedora silverblue is not the only one immutable distro, maybe the author should have been looking at its alternatives. Opensuse MicroOS for example do not use rpm-ostree but I believe btrfs snapshots capability. Ashlinux describe how to build a similar distro out of archlinux [1], rlxos [2] choose distrobox instead of toolbox by default. VanillaOS [3] is ubuntu/deb based, BlendOS [4] has appeared in hackernews recently, there are probably many more I don't think of atm.

that's not what i am responding to.

the original message was "i need an iphone" not "i need a phone".

my response specifically addresses the request for something they shouldn't need since they already had a phone (i could not find any specifics about a tracphone, but i guess it is android based)

and since this was likely not clear, by not giving my kids a regular android phone, i meant one with a manufacturer provided android. they will be getting something with a version of android customized for privacy, like /e/ or something similar.

Peptides are protein-based drugs, like insulin. With a few exceptions, they're not orally bioavailable -- your stomach breaks apart the amino acid chains and reduces them to their smaller component parts.

The ones mentioned in the article are either agents that assist with soft tissue recovery from exercise, or spur the body to release growth hormone and IGF-1. (i.e. are "growth hormone secretagogues.") You could inject growth hormone directly -- which is a very large peptide -- but it's much more expensive and can also be much harder to get, on account of the fact that it's more tightly regulated and controlled.
saying your thousands of servers wont have ssh keys installed when they have arbitrary software installed is disingenuous at best.

thousands of servers are managable only with orchestration solutions, this is a solved problem. the unix world also has evolved from a bash for loop to ssh into servers and read outputs.

i can solve your task in comparable time with pyinfra or ansible executing arbitrary python code on every node with not just csv output but whatever you dream up.
Where. Where did he do this. What was the context. I don't see a mention of a Nikon on his posts, and the article helpfully fails to present any source on this claim.
The puritans did not build a republic, the masons did, a bunch of radicals that met with other republic forming radicals in Europe. Social conservatives of their time were deeply concerned about losing the feudal rule that kept society together.

The Republican party was religious radicals who either requested or demanded a new way and fought the status quo slavery loving (social conservative) democrats.

People in current seats have nothing to do with the history of the organizations they are in and if transported to the past would often more welcome in opponent organizations. This is also true of the revolutionary founding fathers and their very different views and make up than the puritans.

All indications are that the puritans could neither write not respect a constitution. Rhode Island was made up of people who wanted freedoms not stifled by that bunch.

I'm old, my eye's are going. I did the laptop only thing like the OP for a while and it worked but I was craning my neck forward to see text. Increasing the size of stuff meant less screen so I just kept craning my neck until I hurt it.

> I'm able to instantly understand frustrations of everyday users while developing new features or tweaking existing UIs. Being able to advocate for our end-users by using legit use cases is extremely helpful. (Removes the "design by gut-feeling" mistakes)

This same reasoning could be used in reverse; because designers/devs aren’t using multi-monitor UIs or switch regularly between multi-monitor and laptop-only is why we can’t have a good experience. Like on macOS, why won’t it remember the window size from the last time it was connected to a larger screen.
