Then HN is an exception, because I never come across it otherwise. Which is not surprising, given the complete absence of those instances of slavery and imperialism from pop culture.

Sorry, near complete - I'm sure if you really try, you can dig up some movie showing it, and claim it has equal weight to the torrent of movies about US's slavery.
I did not know this - thank you!
Desalination is not an hyperbole, it is an environmental disaster. What do you think happens when hundreds of millions of gallons of water is separated from the salt? Where does the salt go? Back in the sea is where it goes. And what happens to the sea life when you suddenly increase the salinity of the water by a lot?

Edit: Too many people are responding to this comment with the argument ocean is big, a little bit of salt water doesn’t change anything. That is not what the ecological damage is about. Think of this as a dropping ice cubes in a bathtub scenario. The overall the bathtub water isn’t going to cool down a lot, but the water around the ice will be very cold. And that is the problem. Oceans are sensitive and hyper local problems can have devastating effects across the globe. If there was a technology to uniformly distribute the brine across the ocean, then we would be fine, but until then, “the ocean is big” is not a great argument.
This is a pretty shallow take. The significance of two things sharing a name isn't that it happens at all, it's the expected cross-contamination between the two concepts in the subjective experience of the reader. "Michael" is a perfectly good first name, but if your last name is "Bolton" then maybe you should think about other names for your child. Then again if you live in a culture where most people haven't much awareness of American music from the 80s then it won't matter.

For clarity, I don't give a fig what this guy called his website, but I think it's interesting that it happens to collide with a term well known in a small part of the world. You might care that some people have a negative association with it, but there are plenty of reasons not to too. It's just a fun coincidence imho.

It's not exactly "a lot" of potential growth. Yields on short-term investments have been so close to zero over the past several years that I'd argue it has not been worth the trouble to put the money into CDs or bonds. Only lately have yields on these investments been ticking significantly above zero.

The extra burden - mental, accounting, tax compliance - of acquiring additional investments is worth something, and taking on that burden for measly returns may not be worthwhile.

I'm only talking about short-term investments here. The whole point of short-term investments is that the principal needs to be relatively safe - but with that, the returns are meagre as well. Simply spreading it between multiple banks may be worth it.

> The resulting complex array is than converted into an output image by taking the magnitude.

No, it's emphatically not. Perhaps you are thinking of displaying a spectrogram.

To produce an image from frequency-domain data, inverse DFT must be applied. Since (as @nyanpasu64 points out), the DFT of a real-valued image or kernel is conjugate-symmetric (and vice-versa), the result is again real-valued without loss of information. The phase information is not lost. If it were, the image would be a jumbled mess.

(Not that DFT+inverse DFT is necessary for Gaussian blur anyway -- you simply convolve with a truncated Gaussian kernel.)

> Another point of view is that there are infinitely many images that will produce the same result after blurring.

No, this is not true. I don't know why you think it is. This is only true of a brick wall filter, which Gaussian filter is not [1].

The SNR of high-spatial-frequency components is reduced for sure, which can lead to irrevocable information loss. But this is nothing to do with phase.

Loss of anonymity, exploitation of user data for profit or extortion, general personal information and database leaks, and an increased possibility of identity theft are not mere inconveniences. These can be a matter of life and death, money, and freedom.

Those pushing for such measures and laws, may foolishly not fully understand the consequences and dangerous of implementing them, or worse they do understand and hope to exploitatively take advantage of them. They can hope to use the pretext of protecting minors, and supplanting parental responsibility, in order to implement a nanny or police state on the way towards fascism.

My emphasis for that sort of scenario would be on the *need* to meet in person aspect. I've been working remote exclusive for over a decade at this point and even though we're all in the same part of a single US state the last time more than two of us occupied the same building at the same time was years ago.

The more people or travel groups you add to the equation the less likely it is in my mind that you actually needed to physically meet unless you're meeting to do something in the real world which usually can't be done absolutely anywhere. If you're not meeting somewhere specific to do a thing in that place why couldn't the meeting have been done virtually?

Someone else suggested conferences, and I guess that could make sense in the case of small conferences where any random major airport hotel can handle their needs and a substantial portion of the attendees can be expected to vote, but it doesn't scale.
I have to disagree, devs should use hardware appropriate to their development environment. They should test on hardware appropriate to their target environment (or at least a simulated version of it). Insisting on developing on underpowered systems can block you from using some more useful development tooling like many profilers and some debuggers effectively or even entirely. You need to know that it works in the target environment, but if the target environment is a 2005-era CPU because the customer wants a "ruggedized" laptop (aka, overpriced old hardware in a very tough case), there's no reason to restrict your devs to one core and 4GB of RAM for their development tools.
This might be true for the type of business and institutional uses that can operate under the extremely puritanical filters that are bolted onto gpt3.5-turbo. But for most human person uses the earlier text completion models like gtp3 davinci are incomparibly better and more responsive. But also 10x as pricey. Still, it's worth it compared to the lackluster and recalcitrant non-output of gpt3.5-turbo.

I think over the next couple months most human people will switch away from gpt3.5-turbo in openai's cloud to self-hosted LLM weights quantized to run on consumer GPU (and even CPU), even if they're not quite as smart.
Banks don't hold substantial cash. They send whatever cash they collect to the local federal reserve to be recycled and get fresh cash to hand out to people every morning from the same federal reserve. I don't think I've gotten a "used" bill from a bank in over a decade.
The far greater concern is far more mundane.

Photos taken by cell phone cameras increasingly can't be trusted as evidence of the state of something. Let's say you take a picture of a car that just hit a pedestrian and is driving away.

Pre-AI, your picture might be a bit blurry, but say, it's discernible that one of the headlights had a chunk taken out of it; it's only a few pixels, but there's obviously some damage, like a hole from a rock or a pellet gun. Police find a suspect, see the car, note damage to the headlight that looks very close, get a warrant for records from the suspect, find incriminating texts or whatnot, and boom, person goes to jail for killing someone (assuming this isn't the US, where people almost never go to jail for assault, manslaughter, or homicide with a car) because the judge or jury are shown photos from the scene, taken by detectives in the street of the person's driveway, and then from evidence techs nice and close-up.

Post-"AI" bullshit, the AI sees what looks like a car headlight, assumes the few-pixels damage is dust on the sensor/lens or noise, and "fixes" the image, removing it and turning it into a perfect-looking headlight.

Or, how about the inverse? A defense attorney can now argue that a cell phone camera photo can't be relied upon as evidence because of all the manipulation that goes on. That backpack in a photo someone takes as a mugger runs away? Maybe the phone's algorithm thought a glint of light was a logo and extrapolated it into the shape of a popular athletic brand's logo.

I don’t buy the theory itself, but I’m pretty sure that this is what people are thinking of when they say that below living wage jobs should exist. At least — when people say “below living wage jobs should not exist” I think they are not arguing for massive expansion of the social safety net, but for some more cutthroat version of capitalism, consequences be damned.
Not necessarily. San Francisco and New York give me Chicago.

Complete anecdote, I have a relative in California whose well has ran dry. They are trying to find the money and motivation to dig a new well, but it's a dilemma, like if the next well runs dry in a few years too.

The California water situation is really scary right now, even with the high levels of reservoirs mentioned in the article. Those high levels and recent storms are likely going to quell the urgency of the discussion, which is maybe the most unfortunate thing to come from all of the recent weather.
I don't know about trains specifically, but air transport planning happens in UTC for exactly that reason. If "time zones" were indeed an engineering solution, they were the wrong solution.
Sure, it might be good for an MVP where you don't mind about reliability, developer experience and how long you can expect the service to be in business.

If these start to matter, even picking a service from a list of possible providers takes time. Learning their tools, their APIs takes time, etc. OTOH if you have a project template, a setup you know, doing an MVP with that can be really cheap/quick. If not, I can see how this makes sense. But I'm not sure you can have a sustainable business just by serving people building MVPs.
Leftism simply means "like the left wing of the French legislature in the late 1700s" which by tradition is where the socialists sat. Using it for other views would be like saying "I'm an atheist, my god is like ..."

In the USA people who have a live-and-let-live attitude tend to think they're leftists despite actual of-the-day leftists being as authoritarian as the rightists. Left and right, in their original sense, were both strongly authoritarian by today's standards.

That's exactly how they operate - by trying to convince everyone that it's the inevitable result of the groundswell of public opinion in favor of aggressive regulation.

Of course I don’t. That injury was an inflammation because of overuse. I take it seriously applying prescribed topical anti-inflammatory medicine, however inconvenient it might be to do so for up to six times a day. I, of course, updated my exercise selection not to hit the same muscle in consecutive days, but to give rest days. I reduced the weight hitting the affected muscle to almost nothing and progressed slowly from there.

I hope you get well soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if they are doing this. It should be relatively easy to test, though. I know many people that'd volunteer do run NMR or mass spec.

Fair enough. The thing is, if you do not fuss about whitespace, none of that even comes up. Nobody needs to set this up, make the decisions, integrate it, deploy it, maintain it and then have everyone annoyed by it until they get used to it. The people who think we need such a system are the ones I do not want on the team, because odds are that they are nitpickers whose peculiarities permeate their entire work. Brilliant people perhaps, but they better work on their own.

It is like you did not read the first sentence of the comment that you are replying to. I'll repeat it in another form: the gp implied that human sacrifice is sufficient enough to discard any other achievement of the society in question. I argue that the value of human life at the time was rather conditional matter. The rest of the debate is quantity and quality, and people who prefer to draw semi-arbitrary lines in the sand.

edit: I removed the last paragraph, "This process is called modulation, and it is the defining feature of modal jazz.", since your correction explains it better than I could
What's the catch? How do they plan to make money out of it? Or maybe the plan is to use the massive amount of data gathered to make it better for e.g. Bing search? Cut out the competition before it has a chance to flourish?

> Otherwise, do you think "night mode" is just pure magic?

Night mode definitely uses some AI but most of the result is from stacking frames. Samsung here did not label it as a "scene optimizer". Their marketing just calls it Space Zoom. The only disclaimer they provide is "Space Zoom includes digital zoom, which may cause some image deterioration."
Adderall contains dextroamphetamine btw
No; M2 has been defined to measure the money stock. You're a believer in the credit theory of money creation, so you obviously think increase in the money stock happens due to lending. If you're a believer in the financial intermediation theory, you don't think that - you think the central bank adds to or removes from the money stock (by controlling short-term interest rates, and therefore the amount of loanable funds), and the banks just move it around.

These are macro theories; they don't tell you anything at all about an individual loan - only aggregate behavior of the entire system.

Their representation was consistent for one thing. For another it was well known that a) the world isn't black and white and b) b&w is just the tech we have right now. For a third thing, once color came out, black and white was still popular because it was a known art form that exposed characteristics of a scene which a color photograph might miss. So it was fudging images in a way that was predictable.

Compare this to AI/ML-manipulated photos that aren't labelled as such. In this case we no longer know if it's our brain fudging a picture or our camera, so we are starting to lose an arbiter of truth.

Side-rant but it'll be weird when this makes it into high-end cameras that save RAW images. Will RAW still be "raw?" I don't know enough to say.
Well, it certainly doesn't conform to accessibility regulations.

I understood that Stephen Borne's love of ALGOL was the chief structural influence of the POSIX shell (so much so that he used the C preprocessor to turn his source code into fake ALGOL).

"Stephen Bourne's coding style was influenced by his experience with the ALGOL 68C compiler that he had been working on at Cambridge University... Moreover, – although the v7 shell is written in C – Bourne took advantage of some macros to give the C source code an ALGOL 68 flavor. These macros (along with the finger command distributed in Unix version 4.2BSD) inspired the International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC)."

> The crowning abnormality, of course, was the condition of the bodies—men and dogs alike. They had all been in some terrible kind of conflict, and were torn and mangled in fiendish and altogether inexplicable ways. Death, so far as we could judge, had in each case come from strangulation or laceration. The dogs had evidently started the trouble, for the state of their ill-built corral bore witness to its forcible breakage from within. It had been set some distance from the camp because of the hatred of the animals for those hellish Archaean organisms, but the precaution seemed to have been taken in vain. When left alone in that monstrous wind behind flimsy walls of insufficient height they must have stampeded—whether from the wind itself, or from some subtle, increasing odour emitted by the nightmare specimens, one could not say. Those specimens, of course, had been covered with a tent-cloth; yet the low antarctic sun had beat steadily upon that cloth, and Lake had mentioned that solar heat tended to make the strangely sound and tough tissues of the things relax and expand. Perhaps the wind had whipped the cloth from over them, and jostled them about in such a way that their more pungent olfactory qualities became manifest despite their unbelievable antiquity.
