I believe YouTube does the same thing.

If the backend is going to perform operations in the context of an identity, it makes sense to consistently give one to all users, including anonymous ones.
Shiba, Amezou, Nishimura, and Kosugi; Kyanka and Poole and Degrippo; the nanashi, the goons, and anons: all pawns in Hideaki Anno's master plan, set in motion by the prophetic creation of moot's waifu of Axis-American descent.
My understanding is that the Espionage Act literally continues not to allow other parties to possess or distribute classified documents, even if they weren't involved in the original leak. However, some observers have doubted that courts would agree that the strictest reading comports with the first amendment, if they actually had to decide the question.

I've also heard that, in recent decades, Federal prosecutors have not brought Espionage Act charges directly against those they agreed were acting as journalists, although they have been willing to try to force them to reveal the identity of their sources. (There are also court decisions limiting "prior restraint" of publication of classified material, e.g. via a court injunction, but that doesn't necessarily equate to prohibiting people from being punished for doing so after the fact.)
Humans completely dominate bears, and the difference in intellect isn't even relatively huge.
> I asked the office for a replacement monitor after one of mine kicked the bucket, and they sent me home a 1920x1080 monitor

I'm fully remote and my job sent me a monitor, keyboard, and mouse along with my work laptop. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor are all garbage. They're just e-waste to me so I use the laptop stand alone.

It's 2023. Employers know developers stare at their screens all day. Giving them shitty 1080p screens is an obliviousness bordering insulting.
So could one use SD + ControlNet for composition, then Midjourney image to image for the final result?
> When people are in a browser and expanding the content they want the content reflowed

Even if this is the case, I don't see why the browser has to re-run anything from the website or tell the website anything. It can just do the reflow operation locally. Yes, the central data structure then is the DOM rather than a rendered canvas, but the DOM is still held locally.
Just a few of the things you need to build if you don't do it this way. 1. A storage layer, 2. A network protocol with clients and servers, 3. A replication system, 4. an authentication system. 5. Administrative tools.

If you roll everything yourself, you pretty much have to reinvent everything PostGres has except the SQL and relational aspects.
So many lives destroyed because of a bunch of journalist needed a panic to have something to write about.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane… thinking about the long ethernet cable also jogged my memory of the problematic position wifi on laptops had with linux around that time. That and running a box fan under my Gateway laptop in order to make it thru the Linux installer long enough to hack on enabling ACPI thermal management. I think Lindows worked out of the box for that too.
this is just how things are now. as an older zoomer ive learned not underestimate the breadth and depth of the demographic that is gamers, seems like just about every single male is one to a certain extent, transcending just about all the cultural and social divisions I can think of.
> so I apologize for having abbreviated my thoughts to that sentence that I agree doesn't really say much and could be applied to anything.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but in any case, thank you for the clarification.
I'm not going to get hit a car that I'm driving. I'm going to get by a car someone else is driving. I don't only breathe the air that is polluted by cars I drive. I don't only get flooded with the sound produced by cars that I drive. You are imposing your views on me by driving a car.
I don't think you grasped what I said...
The difference in intelligence between the police and a singular criminal, especially the police as an organism, is vastly in favor of the police.
You know in my professional career mostly the way I approach these kinds of problems it to just cheat.

What is the runtime complexity of an algorithm? Set it up with varying amounts of data fed to it (or whatever N is) and then time the real thing (or a suitable minimal but complete example).

Then you can instrument or profile the algorithm in any number of different ways to ask what is being called so often.

If you do it right you can really measure what it is doing, and you're getting closer at least to "production" code where you're not just working with pencil and paper but you've got real algorithms running hardware with finite sized caches.

Ultimately it doesn't matter what anyone writes down on pencil and paper if the hardware doesn't agree with you. Usually I measure it first and then work backwards knowing the answer already.
> The really strange part is that the majority of Americans have no historical connection to that messed up past at all.

The legacy of all of it is still alive and white americans still benefit from the oppression at the expense of minorities.

Essentially, it was never made right to the benefit of modern white americans... therefore the guilt they feel is founded because at some level they see the benefits of their privilege even if they deny it out loud.

> The group of people whose ancestors were even in the country while slavery was legal or women couldn't vote or before the Civil Rights movement is getting smaller and smaller every year.

Did you know the majority of black Americans couldn't get home loans until about 1990? Even then it was very difficult.

Think about if your great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents all only lived in apartments or didn't have as secure of a housing situation.

What effect might that have on someones upbringing?
if you can locate the physical person who stole your crypto, you can always use the rubber hose method of returning your money. I bet it works.
For about a year I had a side project involving learning a lot about encoding (with ffmpeg) to cram as much resolution, quality, and detail into short videos while keeping them under 3 megabytes. Most of my source material was from YouTube so I ended up learning a lot about their bitrate, and I can guess a fair few of the compression and encoding settings they must be using (they’re not great, but that’s to be expected as they have to optimize for compatibility and compute efficiency across a ridiculous range of content). It is practically certain that it’s possible for YouTube pack more quality into the same bits, so I hope they’re offering more than just “higher bitrate with the same settings”.

One way to higher quality I found was you can represent more uncompressed data with the same number of compressed bits (so you end up with slightly less lossy compression). Another way was you can get higher subjective quality by picking the right bits to throw away (your compression is just as lossy but you’ve shifted where that loss happens into subjectively less important parts of the data). I think there might be some gotcha where these two things are actually identical in some deeper way, but it feels like they’re quite different.

The fact that they’re offering it to paying customers is hopefully the leverage needed by engineers to justify spending a bit more compute on better encoding settings.

(Another thought in this area is that since encoding is paid roughly once per video uploaded, you could have a “premium uploader” service that lets uploaders play around with some of the settings, or at least use a better quality preset. Many uploaders would pay ten bucks per video to do that, I have no doubt.)
No, only a very marginally superior intellect could be controlled in such a way even at a cursory glance, and I'm not even convinced a 250 IQ machine could be stymied like this.
Great, consistent argument as to why privacy matters and why this legislation does the opposite of help.
Only the most expensive Miele washing machines have Wifi. The basic models don't.

So it seems people are willing to pay extra for the feature.
Hah, preaching to the choir here, ADHD brain that basically shuts down unless there is a constant supply of new and interesting stimuli. I usually can't even get enough, so I end up sleeping for 13 hours and then not even staying up for 8 afterwards. I literally need "stimulants" in order to even have a 24-hour schedule, lol.
New queuing mechanisms are generally much bigger shocks than may meet the eye, and it's unusual to see existing systems and frameworks be able to take full advantage of them immediately. In this case, the Go runtime is playing the part of a "framework"; it has ideas about how system calls work and those ideas come from a pre-io_uring world.

IIRC, the same thing happened back when epoll was new. You couldn't just swap out your select-based framework to epoll with no changes and just magically get the new performance; it required a lot of work and years for things to finally get polished up.

It always seems so easy at the high level, but these abstractions are at the very foundation of the system and the slightest change ripples everywhere. The link you show provides a great demonstration of that; the first paragraph is an optimistic "it seems feasible", then there's literally pages of "umm, well, if you think about this it's a bit more complicated than it seems" and cross-platform issues and upgrades to the kernel mechanism that solved other people's problems maybe solving these problems too and details details details.

That's not to say it won't ever happen. Like I said, epoll and other similar things all went through the same basic process, so it can be done, has been done, and will be done again (if not in Go, then in other places). It's just that it's all so much harder than it looks from 30,000 feet in the air.
Very impressed. Seen a lot of AI stuff coming out but this is:

* Fast

* Works even with HN hug of death

* Useful for my daily flow (I mix chat gpt with google searches)

I tried “can $myname code typescript” and got a great answer.

Love it.

Concerns

* Will it stay around

* Who is paying. I don’t mind a monthly subscription model but >$20 might be hard to justify

* Privacy

Will trial for 14 days then may recommend to the team!
No worries, it happens. I will admit the way I answered wasn't clear that I was referring to the linked page and not the question in the post. All good.
> That is dangerous mindset, so dangerous that I think the article is just trolling, trying to trigger people. But in case if author was serious, choosing leadership or any position for tha matter, should be based on their vision, skill, the weight of their respect is set community rather that on their sexual orientation, color of their skin, country of origin and ect. Discrimination needs to go. And this writing, suggests discrimination based on race or sexuality and gender.

The dangerous mindset is acting as if people with the power of hiring positions are unbiased and don't hire based on soft skills, "culture fit", and other irrational things.

> Discrimination needs to go.

Yes it does, but... it hasn't. The status quo is a heavyweight and inertia pushes it forward... would you have minorities suffer until the mythical future where discrimination doesn't exist comes?
It was not uncommon for speech synthesis systems to have an algorithm much like the one in the interview question to pronounce e.g. words in URLs ("ycombinator"), brand names ("Bitcoin"), or words in languages that like to agglomerate ("Donaudampfschiff"). Admittedly, though, this task is increasingly being delegated to machine learning models.

> Humanity has never had to deal with global echo chambers where individuals who are mostly harmless on their own can come together and feed on their common rancor.

Do you not realize that "echo chamber" describes this place, and any place with groupthink enforcement mechanisms (voting, karma, flagging, and excessive moderation) much more accurately than 4chan? For example, HN groupthink has endorsed low-carb and ketogenic diets almost since its inception, and as a consequence, has also promoted the dissemination of dangerous health misinformation, like LDL cholesterol denialism and downplaying the risks of excessive sodium and satrated fat consumption.
LOL agreed, I absolutely loved that one joke
Corporate restructure is a tool of tax avoidance, corporate restructure is a tool of compliance-dodging. Corporate restructure won't make Twitter's fundamental problems go away, it's a mechanism to make 'pass the parcel' musical chairs games wind up with "somebody else" losing the money.

Tricks to keep control and shed blame are not uncommon.

News ltd did it a decade back with "A" and "B" class shares. Murdoch got a lot of heat for this, and wound up having to modify it, some of it gov pressure, some of it the B shareholders. It was also around the time he inflated the value of News ltd by the goodwill inherent in the mastheads, just before the value of newspapers tanked, so he also had to do a massive write-down of value.

Which now I write it, feels a lot like what Musk has done: take something with $40b book price, incur debt, then wipe out $20b of value by stupid management tricks "cost cutting" and now.. restructure. So.. the restructure is either about debt, or control, or both. Maybe his "B" class shareholders forced him? (ie, the people who Musk brought in to fund the purchase, the middle eastern banks and others)
The problem with this comparison is that humans, a marginally superior intellect to the collective evolutionary "intellect" of pathogens, regularly eradicate them.
> They are faster per clock cycle, run at higher frequencies, have more cores, more memory bandwidth, more pcie bandwidth, wider SIMD lanes, deeper out of order buffers, much more cache and more execution units.

This is called extensive progress, no intensive developing since 2012 as it was mentioned before I have joined discussion. You are completely wrong about frequency (no increase since Haswell's 4Ghz) and somewhat boring about other points so I will not answer here any more.
From the outside, it sure as shit looks like it. Great that you don't think so, good to know you're oblivious.
I always thought I wasn't smart enough to understand the Santa Fe Institute's work. But now I'll just call it out in an emperor's clothes way. Maybe others were afraid to say it too, idk. It could be replaced with GPT-4 and no one would notice.

What other third place do people in our 20s have nowadays?!?

We've all entered our own silos and are much more insular now - either due to financial reasons or social dislocation. Also a bunch of us in that same age demographic were fucked big time by the pandemic, and most of our communications and friendships are online and distance based now.
I guarantee these people are are under surveillance. The FBI likely knows a lot more than WaPo reports. Part of the process is to make sure you get everyone and get your arms around the entire leak.

I'm just impressed at the lack of control the DoD has over such sensitive information. It's incredible that this went on for so long. It does not leave me with a lot of confidence that they are competent enough to protect Americas secrets.
Finder doesn’t show ads, right? System Preferences doesn’t show iCloud ads, right? You don’t keep urging me to make Safari the default browser, right? Strictly speaking, macOS has an iCloud item in the Finder sidebar, but you can hide it, and you have to go through several layers of account settings to get to the iCloud settings in System Preferences. Safari only notifies you that Safari is recommended as the default browser when you first set up Chrome, but nothing after that. At least for macOS, they don’t display ads in prominent places over and over again like Microsoft does.
this is a stupid article centered on a stupid premise, it diminishes everyone who comes in contact with it
I didn't say that I don't believe people can change. You're very confused.

For that matter, I assert that it is definitively provable that some people do change, and likely that the details of their personality and circumstances would demonstrate that this is generalizable to everyone. In short, everyone can change... not just some.

But that they can change is nothing like the idea that because people can change that we know how to rehabilitate.

You're so very confused. The idea that "people can change" is somehow equivalent to you with the idea that "rehabilitation is something science has figured out enough that we can skip straight to the applied science or even engineering phase".

What makes you confused like that? Are you prone to bouts of emotional irrationality? Are there many members of your family that are susceptible to magical thinking?

You say "I believe in lightning". I'm saying "but we don't know how to harness electricity". And we don't. You should stop using phrases like "objectively false" until you're able to think more clearly.

> but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying.

Yes, it actually does mean that. For one, the dangers of random experimentation on a criminal element that we have quite reasonably sequestered away from those they would harm can't even be easily measured.

For another, it is actually unethical to experiment on human beings in this way. Even on prisoners. The "it's worth trying by randomly doing shit and hopefully we'll stumble across something that seems like it will work when it takes decades to determine if someone has spontaneously rehabilitated" sentiment is lunacy.

Figure out how to do it first, and we'll talk.

PS Don't bother, I figured it out a few years ago. At least in principle. The trick is to have non-convicts outnumber the convicts, probably at minimum to a ratio of 12:1. Could be higher. Then we have to screen those correctional officers. And build every convict their own prison that looks too much like a home to make the voting public comfortable. So that we don't get any weird folie à deux issues, each room in that "prison" will need to be surveilled, and the correctional officers rotated out if things start to go off the rails. This would work, but it can't... that's 600,000+ guards in Ohio alone. Heck of a jobs program, until it works so thoroughly that there are no prisoners left and I tank the economy. And all those single-prisoner prisons that I spent a million bucks on each (50,000 of them in Ohio, for the bargain price of $50 billion) that are hidden in all the suburbs and whatnot... what is anyone going to do with those? I actually think about this stuff. It's never been more than a passing sentiment to you.
> Now, I wouldn’t buy a Tesla if it was half the price.

That is an impressive stance, if taken literally. Half a full spec model 3 is $26,000. I'd put up with a lot of shit for a vehicle with that performance and range for $26,000.

I'm not trying to start an argument with you in particular, but I find these kinds of stances almost as confusing as the opposite. No car company is good by any ethical or even engineering standpoint. People just need to pick the car that works for them and live their lives.

Hopefully the competition ramps up significantly in the next few years and quality across the board increases.
Isn't the brick test pretty close to a work-sample test?

I've always assumed the brick was meant to simulate a drowning swimmer, whose rescue is pretty clearly part of the lifeguard's job. I guess a mannequin would be more realistic, but it still seems pretty close.
There are already a number of instruction-tuning datasets.

This announcement does not provide any benchmarks, so it is impossible to tell how useful the model is.
Interviews make me realize I don't know how to code on the spot while 4 people (responsible for judging me and determining my worth) watch me. I second guess everything and freeze up. My mental capacity to solve a problem is being taken up by a fight/flight response (wanting to push through the question or quit). The environment I'm in is foreign, outside of my typical coding setup. My brain has no time to adjust. You could look at my github and see someone who's an excellent coder, but put me in an interview scenario like the one OP wrote and it's like 10 years of education just disappear.
T isn’t a word, next

Th isn’t a word, next

The is a word, look up ‘reis’, not a word, next

Ther isn’t a word, next

There is a word, look up ‘is’ it is a word, return true

If you don’t want to ignore whitespace, than I’m not sure what behavior you want, you want “there is” to return false?

If whitespace is the delimiter the whole thing is trivial, you split on space.

I am now more confused.
> Imagine if every businesses had access to teams of Google’s best, perfectly aligned with their goals.

You'd have to train it on code written by Google's very best, which is presumably only something Google could do. If you train a model off of github and the like, you're including things like student homework assignments.
It's just a glorified geo-lock.

Wow that was content free. What is the actual info that was leaked?

I actually love that you're paying attention to the browser default language. So often, websites set their language based on IP and I'm left browsing a site in a language I don't understand. On the other hand, in this case it probably makes sense to respond in the language the question was asked in.
I've done this and have gotten great results. I made a base prompt that includes all of midjourneys documentation, and as gpt gives me prompts I plug them into midjourney and each of them a rating. I'd like to know if you've done something similar or if you have different methods
Law enforcement/IC always moves slower in these sorts of things than journalism.

Often because the FBI/spies prefer reading their emails and catching them surreptitiously before making overt plays, since they already know the latter will remain a sure thing if they wanted. At least until they get forced to play their hands by journos and public pressure. Or maybe they did already and the friends are privy to it.

Or just as likely we over value the competence of government workers.
FWIW, I didn’t read what GP wrote as being prescriptive nor “justification”, but rather an observation of the statistics involved in heterosexual males selection of dating/marriage prospects.

I hate the idea of anyone feeling inferior or less worthy due to not being chosen by someone else.

At the same time, we can speak objectively about what one group of people statistically find desirable in another group. I mean, we could also choose to not speak of it — but for many there is utility in understanding (and thus speaking of) what is desired by others: if you know what they want, you can decide if it’s worth making choices that would satisfy those desires, and you can also be realistic about how likely you are to satisfy those desires as a function of time and other variables.

As a heterosexual man, I can speak of the opposite side of the coin: over 99% of women I have seen on online dating apps clearly state that having kids is a must — my not wanting kids by that logic makes me unsuitable as a dating prospect. I could be upset: “how dare they see me as some sort of sperm dispensing machine?!” But the reality is that they don’t harbor any ill intent, they just simply want kids and that means I’m not a good choice to satisfy that desire.
