I feel like it’s a pretty good definition to start with but I’d extend it a little further to encompass the techniques you mentioned and also add things like HDR bracketing, and astrophotographer techniques like dark frames and photo stacking.

Essentially I think as long as the photo is built up from data captured by the camera sensor(s) and no additional data is “added” to the photo, no upscaling, no substitution, no textural or morphological manipulation of objects in the frame, then it’s still a photo even with sophisticated AI processing. But the moment you upscale, airbrush, or morph anything… not a photograph.
What "extremely positive applications" does ChatGPT have, exactly? From where I'm standing all I see is an infinitely deep and vast ocean of pure spam, scams and data harvesting on a never-before seen scale where megacorps like Micro$oft hoover up any and all data that they can, meaning we do all the hard work while M$ and similar corpos get to sell our own work back to us at a premium.
Or they did it out of moral reasons, which is not something every discoverer of vulnerabilities will care about
I mean, most dictators didn't "do" much. They just said things and gesticulated dramatically and convinced other people to do things. Perhaps a body is necessary to have massive psychological effects on people, but we don't know that for sure and there are some signs of virtual influencers gaining traction.

Human would-be demagogues only have one voice, but an LLM could be holding personalized conversations with millions of people simultaneously, convincing them all that they should become its loyal followers and all their grievances would be resolved. I can't figure out exactly how demagogues gain power over people, but a few keep succeeding every decade around the world so evidently it's possible. We're lucky that not many people are both good at it and want to do it. An LLM could be a powerful tool for people who want to take over the world but don't have the skills to accomplish it. So it's not clear they need their own "will", they just have to execute towards a specified goal.

"But would an LLM even understand the idea of taking over the world?" LLMs have been trained on Reddit, the NYT, and popular novels among other sources. They've read Orwell and Huxley and Arendt and Sun Tzu. The necessary ideas are most definitely in the training set.
Cool though not entirely surprising that a network that learns how to process many human languages might develop internal subnets/structures that generalise to nearly all human languages. Could be seen as a humanlang coprocessor, as a sibling says.

Understanding those generic internal structures would be fascinating.
>I have also seen an entire smallish company nearly completely collapse into itself because being a competent jerk basically became normal operating procedure and you either adapted or were bullied out of the company. Eventually the only people left were bullies and none of them could work together well enough to deliver.

This sounds like many American police departments.
I think the line can be drawn at adding information that wasn't originally available to the camera at that time.

So HDR photography (taking multiple photos milliseconds apart and merging them) is fine, because it's just using information that was available while you were standing there taking the shot. I don't see how this is really any different from a long-exposure shot in fact.

Using a polarizing filter to enhance the sky color and see the fish underwater is fine, because it's just using information available that time (and in fact, selectively ignoring some information, namely light polarized the "wrong" way).

Editing light levels differently in different parts of the frame is OK too because that light is still coming to the camera, you're just processing it differently.

Going online to grab ultra high-res stock photography of the Moon to enhance your shaky-cam photo is not OK, because that's adding information that the camera didn't have available to it (and worse, it's quite possible the downloaded information is inaccurate).

Going back to your White House example, what happens if someone takes a photo of the White House lawn because they want a photo showing the new trees or flowers that were planted or just bloomed. But Samsung downloads some stock photo to "enhance" the photo, and of course this stock photo was taken before the plantings, or at some other time of the year when the flowers weren't blooming. Now this poor sucker has a completely invalid photo showing something that didn't exist when he took his trip to DC to photograph the White House lawn, and probably won't notice until he looks through his vacation photos on a large monitor.
I think if you're looking at learning an array language in order to learn an array language, because of the oft-discussed change in perspective and technique, then I think BQN meets that very handily.

BQN is, in my opinion, the most slick of the array languages; it consistently takes the best of the approaches to high-rank arrays and combinator (including tacit) programming from the others. Some things are unique, and amazing, like structural under.

It is small, it is new, so I would agree with your hesitation to start a business based on it, but to understand these languages or use it for the typical small calculations, it is more than capable.
Thanks! Yes medium and blogger are promising and it looks like you have enough customization options. For medium, if family wants to read the blog posts, do they have to pay the member suscription fee ?
This is one of those cases where it can be hard to tell if it's someone's honestly-held opinion or not. In this case, I think not just because of the exact wording. However, there's no shortage of people, including on this very forum, who have this exact opinion and write very similar things whenever discussions about American suburbs come up. Of course, they don't quite say "I hate black people and don't want them living near me", but they really do say they don't want "poor" people or other undesirables living anywhere near them.
Exactly, that is the real issue, vectorization might be good enough in terms of performance. It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article at all.
True. Both issues are caused by the wheels being too small.
Yesterday I had an "AI researcher" at Ericsson ask me if I could teach him "how to code". HN, like tech in general has recently had a bunch of hustlers who would otherwise be selling you timeshares jump along for the hype train. I'm trying to find an explanation for the recent spike in posts like OP that lack an understanding of the site/community's etiquette.
Apache Arrow (https://arrow.apache.org/overview/) is built exactly around this idea: it's a library for managing the in-memory representation of large datasets.
Assuming they never move away from fossil fuels, it's still a win. Electricity is far more efficient at converting energy into movement than fossil fuels (roughly 75% vs 15%)

Yup, exactly. My comment was going to be "so what?"

Maybe it's globalism, maybe it's that deep down all humans are the same species and like the same things.

But a lot of these are millennial/zoomer aesthetics, generations who are now in their 30s/early 40s and coming of age/20s. The whole piece reads like a "millennials are killing uniqueness" spiel.

I feel like the author hasn't really covered the fact that things have been converging forever. It's like they're musing about the fact that so many Greek and Roman buildings have stone columns. Or that all 1950's soda bars all looked the same, no matter where you went. Or that all 1900s English factories all looked the same.

The point is that people have ALWAYS been converging on stuff, it's just now that we're more global and we have the Internet to connect us, of course we're seeing it happen regardless of proximity or borders.

I want to be paid for the value I provide, not the GPS coordinates of my desk chair.

I think it's far from clear that remote workers are always, or even generally, providing less value than in physically present ones.

I know I had a lot more time to document and do other kinds of written collaboration, especially across the organization, when I was working more days per week remotely.

So we'll run our own models to filter the interactions with the corporate models.
> This has bipartisan support.

Yes. It's just digital McCarthyism. The US loves having an enemy, especially a Communist one, and the problem is that the Communists have got too good at capitalism, so they have to be banned from the market.

If this was actually about preventing surveillance it would ban surveillance by apps.
Not American :), living in Spain though and until recently we had shit parental leave and flexible work schedules is something very recent.
I like the nice vs kind distinction. By being nice to someone who is underperforming (by keeping them onboard), you're being unkind to those that are performing but have to pick up the slack or watch the team's progress fall behind.
We're celebrating that we've moved away from insecure languages with manual memory management to secure high level languages, sandboxes and whatnot, and the first thing we do is "yay coding got easier let's increase complexity by 1000x". At least sometimes I really feel like this, but probably just getting old.
What's your job and why can't you co-ordinate async?

"remote but still sync" feels like a major failure mode of being remote to me. Being able to work and communicate async is important for productivity in a remote environment.
Canonical makes a server OS and also releases a desktop version for nostalgia reasons (my guess). They should just deprecate Ubuntu Desktop already and be done with it.
Add someone navigating this after an overly productive decade of remote work, but not one that is healthy or sustainable to be well rounded to access the next level of growth in all fronts, I’m beginning to wonder if having a separate space on the property might be something to try out. Those pre made work pods look more and more interesting.
How is Debian-support for ZFS these days?

Is it doable to setup Debian with a ZFS root file system?
Almost every parent of 4+ that I know follows the same pattern: they live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere in a detached house in a low cost of living area and work remotely, while their spouse is a homemaker.

Our whole team is remote so toddlers sometimes participate in standups and that is fine - they lose interest after a few minutes anyway.

I can't imagine going somewhere every day and not participating in my child's development to the extent I am now.

This is the way - the more we push people to live in cramped, high-cost places, the less children they will have and the sooner we'll run out of people able to work, much less care for the aging population.
@Bendon292 - I agree with you on ad blocking being an important part of focus. At least personally, I didn't find myself getting too distracted by ads because most web apps we use for work don't rely on an ad model. But I do get distracted if I need to research something or go to something like forbes.com to read an article etc. I am planning to add support for Chrome extensions soon. uBlock Origin seems like an excellent candidate to roll out as part of the initial extension support.
It looks to be very aligned to EURO7 standards - so great to see these coming in earlier in China than Europe, and will also mean that engines and set-ups can be reused.

> The bill only applies to technology linked to a “foreign adversary.” Those countries include China (as well as Hong Kong); Cuba; Iran; North Korea; Russia, and Venezuela.

I don't see the problem. We already restrict trade or banking with these countries. Social media apps and software are products like any other.
Layoff is used correctly here. What gets on my nerves is when the companies talk about "impacted employees" instead of "laid off employees", as it if had been a meteorite.
To build on this:

k is a bit like APL, but more concerned with lists rather than multi-dimensional arrays. It uses normal symbols that are easily accessible on your keyboard like + and !, but they are seriously overloaded.

q is built on top of k, and take all the monadic overloads of the operators and gives them a name.

So instead of writing

!5

to get a list of the first 5 integers, you write

til 5

This is sort of what the original comment is getting at (I think)

Many gas cars in China aren't much bigger.

Your average SUV in the US is what much of the world would consider a cargo truck.
I’ve always taken fired to mean someone was let go individually for cause. Laid off means they’ve lost their job for reasons other than performance or individual actions.
As a millennial, like much of my generation who loves good coffee, I'd say it's primarily because we don't want the usual shitty instant coffee packets - Nespresso & similar is a good way to get a decent coffee without too much faff/cleaning (ie my proper machine at home is more expensive, harder to clean & maintain in an airbnb context).

For previous generations the same effect would've been before hotel rooms had TVs; there would have been a stark difference between hotel rooms that did and didn't have TVs for boomers (and maybe GenX?)
Does it dictate that you have to or that there’s an opportunity to do so without standing out?
I wonder, do any conference call services (zoom, GMeet, etc) offer the ability to record each participant's audio stream separately in a way that would make it easy to transcribe them separately then combine?
People added additional craters and as long as it was recognized as moon also the added craters were enhanced.
Anyone who thinks it doesn't have disparate impact probably never had to pump and store breast milk at work just to commute it back to a child at the end of the day.

And it also has disparate impact for people with disabilities. I promise you that people on chemo or with IBS are more productive not having to badge into the office several times per week.

It's only fair to compare exceptional individual to an exceptional breed. According to Google Husky can run 240km in a day. Exceptional Husky might do much better. Average Husky will easily outrun most human runners.

Still, this is an exception to the rule - overall humans outperform almost all animals when it comes to endurance running.
Hard to imagine that Google will sunset Google Docs and Workspace, so we are using them. The only google service which we decided not to use anymore is Google Analytics, simply because it became too complex and unintuitive, we migrated to Plausible.

I've never even heard about most of the things listed on the website.

For that to be a relevant argument you would have to amass some relevant user base. I wish you good luck.
The question of 'WFH impact on family formation' is fairly obvious considering time saved from commuting and 'parent-work hybrid' mode at home. However, since this is a study on working class woman, is the overall trend of increased birthrates true if we consider non-working e.g. jobs lost from covid?
ADHD is probably the problem under this behaviour.

Can’t complete tasks and underperform but want to help other, be part of the team.
People with ADHD have developed coping behaviour to fit in but have very low control on their executive functions, they can’t keep working on something that doesn’t catch their attention. It’s very hard to understand for someone who don’t have the problem "why can’t they just do it!"

When the job is new, the team is new it’s all very interesting but as routine and boredom set in the get unable to stay on the task.
They hate themselves for not doing what they should do and want to do the right thing but are unable.
It’s very stressful and often lead to burnout.

Medication help, so is meditation, omega-3, better/more sleep, exercice and jobs that have movement and a lot of change and creativity.

I looked at what the new Jedi surviver cost new and the standard edition is 80 eur for the ps5. Who can keep paying those prices? They justify the cost by the massive teams needed to deliver the software but I think they are starting to hit peak price pain threshold for a lot of people.

That could have happened if the supply chain moved fast. In our case, they took their sweet time and played cold. They were also not convinced for a lock-in/renewal at a price (although negotiated). From their experience, they almost had to renew a SaaS software once it was 2 years into the company.

Open source + pay as you use + capped pricing solves a lot of it.
Well, SQL, and connecting it to a UI, lends itself to a declarative approach, and I guess that's just simpler to catch in a simple form builder etc. Heck, MS Access did it twenty years ago (and so did many others). But for other things one ends up trying to capture imperative code (which is just very flexible and expressive) in a simple editor. From what I remember from the experience, you end up adding pockets of complexity in different finicky controls, that then have to all with together, while the actual code equivalent would just be a few lines of code and done. I don't think I'm speaking to it very eloquently, but I was just shocked, at the time, how little progress was made, as an industry, relative to (I'm gonna say it again) MS Access. This was a year or so ago, I'm sure you're making progress!
There is bacterial action at work to give it that delicious flavor. I don't know where the line is between bacterial breakdown of meat tissue in jamón and putrification. I wanted to highlight that bacterially altered meat is a delicacy today. Maybe people back then people were also looking for umami?
That is a good point as well, it's also a template that can be used. These people are financially motivated, it's cheaper to just use an existing and proven aesthetic to target a particular demographic than come up with something unique that may or may not work.

It's certainly not millennials that are renting out these airbnbs, but I'm sure are heck we're mostly the ones staying in them.
Did you read the article? It's not about manufacturing, it's about an imminent change in Chinese regulations that will literally make it illegal to sell many cars sitting in a lot today.

I used NixOS for a while, but switched back to Debian. My pain point was that unless you also use Docker etc, deploying applications and deploying the system is inseparable. I don’t want to rebuild my system to update an app. This is especially painful on e.g. Raspberry Pi, because full deployments are expensive and you end up needing to set up VMs for building etc. The killer feature for me would be separable roots, so I could use multiple instances of NixOS on 1 system.

The other aspect is that declarative is nice, but often you care about preserving data as well. So you need backups etc. If you have full system backups, then separating config from data is more complex (and less useful). I’d rather spend my time on a rock solid and frequent backup strategy than worry about NixOS + a solid backup strategy.

I only have 1 server though. If I had more, then being declarative might be more useful. I currently use Nix for project dependencies, which is really nice.
Empathy is not worry. It's actually the other way around - you seem to worry that underperforming person is going to bring down the business, empathic people do not care.
Yes, but it's also historically associated with class too (even in the west) - the lower class had to do manual labour outdoors and thus were exposed to the sun longer. As a result, they tended to be sun burnt and darker. Thus, dark skin was associated with lower class / poverty, and fairer skin implied that the person lead a more a sheltered life (due to their wealth).
And? As long it gets the job done, problem solved.

Using a 2.5tons F150 guzzling 12l/100km to buy grocery or commute should not be seen as the ultimate goal.

And yet, it still seems out of line with the scope of the vulnerability.

"seems" implies a subjective measurement.

Yeah. At first, I was going to reply with "the sarcasm is obvious", then I remembered that some people just fail to notice sarcasm, then I also remembered that they fail because there are enough lunatics on internet who would actually unironically write something like my comment.

Also, I will assume you are a fellow railfan, because of your name.
Really, you're just closing a door on them based on your opinion. Newer programmers, and you let them consider Rust vs JS? That's a `wat` in my opinion.
