> if you ever tell a friend on a company communication channel to call you even if it’s something personal you will be called by lawyers.

So what? So you have to explain that you didn't violate the auditing laws? That's hardly a huge burden. Don't use corporate assets for personal communication, problem solved.

> Government is trying to have back doors to all of your chat

And they shouldn't. But the point is: for most users who haven't bothered to set up something like IRC, corporations already do. And you continue to harp on the ways that government can impact personal civil liberties when I am still talking about the ways government can restrict corporations from using unchecked power to make people's lives hell. For the purposes of this discussion, chat logs and abortion are irrelevant. Unless you think the personal right to have an abortion is somehow analogous to the corporate right to, what, Dodge tax law? Use dark money to fund a candidate like DeSantis getting into office?

If you're concerned about government overreach and a resulting threat to personal civil liberties, the best defense we have against it is strengthening and enforcing existing corporate auditing law. Because everything you're concerned about regarding civil liberties gets exponentially worse when corporations can buy politicians.

Government and corporate power aligning behind a common goal is on the road to fascism. I'm advocating for setting those power bases against each other.
> the government can't actually quite mandate a single vendor like that here; there thereby exist private companies that operate to the TSA specification, and an airport can go with one of them instead.

If they like it, then it’s not garbage for them. Mission accomplished. What you think of art on a stranger’s wall isn’t really the point — it’s more so about the technology behind it.

I suppose you could be indirectly commenting about how you think the technology does a bad job generating art, but there are better ways to say it.
I just had a light-bulb moment and came back to say something similar.

I'm not sure how well tracked the decline in insect populations is, but I'd imagine light intensity levels during the spaceflight era is pretty much on record. Would be interesting to know to what extent they correlate (and if the answer is "Lots!", I'm inclined to think it is at least not due to insect demise causing rise in artificial lighting).

The story of Grant’s aasociation with Twain and the latter’s influence on getting Grant’s war time memoires written is discussed in great and entertaining detail in Ron Chernows’s biography of Grant, which is one of the most entertaining biographies I have ever read: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06W2J89PV/ref=tmm_kin_swatch...
Not only art but also in science. I've noticed that people are averse to pursuing careers in higher academia, especially in niche subjects (in 2023 this means anything other than ML) unless they're from a privileged and financially stable family background.

> how does that not equal knowing what they're doing

The goal may not be to produce something pleasant. The artist will want some degree of artistic value; the communicator will want a high degree of effectiveness etc. The professional will implicitly decide a large number of details, in a supposedly consistent idea of the full aim. The non professional armed with some generative AI tool may on the contrary leave a lot to randomness - and obtain a "pleasant" result, but without real involvement, without being the real author nor, largely, the actual director.
> where and how could a larger lake have existed?

It exists somewhere in the gap of your logic. The undeying complaint is against the superlativ, and not against "largest" but "in Earth's history", which equates to everrr.

It's clearly click-bait.
The website looks fine on my Palm Phone (720 x 1280 pixels in portrait mode, so slightly less wide than your original 800 px width). Need to pinch to zoom in some parts, but that's standard for any website really.

More control over your own destiny and the company's? If you just want to do what someone tells you and conform (which most people do, and that's fine) you're better off with a bigger company. If you want a chance to defence what you do, startup is better. I would agree that it's important to not join a startup that wants to pretend it's a big company, or you get the worst of both worlds.
Maybe such a saying is needed in Korean more than in other languages?
> While not perfectly accurate today, LLMs are able to troll through Google's mess and pull out the information people are actually looking for. Over time, Google will be forced to conform and will do the only thing they know how - use your personal information to tune an LLM just for you.

I strongly believe this is a transient situation. LLMs are so useful today for generic search only because the scoundrels on-line got taken by surprise. Language models process websites differently than traditional search engines, and are able to see through all the usual SEO trickery. But it's only a matter of time before the scoundrels adapt, before SEO turns into LMO, before websites get redesigned to be full of subtle, plausibly deniable prompt injections, and the content itself optimized to maximize the amount of advertising payload that gets picked up as stowaways by LLMs, attaching themselves to the bits the language models extract.

Tuning the LLM "just for you" won't help you, because it'll still end up as an involuntary salesman for any vendor that applies LMO techniques. And even if it was possible, Google is the last company I'd trust with doing it.
I used to use booking.com a lot. I can cope with the dark patterns and the aggressive anxiety based encouragement (although I find it repulsive).

But more recently what's put me off is many of their listings aren't hotels, they are private landlords letting apartments Airbnb style. I'd like to be able to filter out those types of listings because having had a few bad experiences with AirBnB in the past what I usually want is a hotel. I don't want to deal with a private landlord hassling me, cleaning deposits, and rules, etc.

Show HN: Insight, an autonomous AI that can do medical research
I am working on an AI that uses multiple LLM based agents to do medical research on any topic you choose! The program terminates after a set number of iterations and all of the findings are saved. Still a work in progress but it is showing some promising results imho!

Where is the discrimination part, though?
While you do need to manually initialize a vtable pointer, that pointer can simply point to a const struct which lives in the read-only data section. You don't need to allocate a new vtable with each object or anything like that.

And you can do COM objects in C without using the preprocessor at all (outside of the "are we C++ or not" condition, then you could use real classes instead)
How does this compare to something like pcie? Why would someone use on over the other?
Fair nit. Although this is why I chose to focus on transfer rates instead of time.

But consider this. When I load Strava's dashboard, open the Network tab and search for "cloudfront", these are the metrics:

> 374 requests 15.80 MB / 7.07 MB transferred Finish: 4.89 min

This is not a good time, and no amount of compression is going to help the situation.
If the parasites are visible my understanding is that is not sashimi grade meat and would be smoked or processed in several ways instead. I assume that Japanese would assure to remove any undesirable aspect in the meat before to make the fish and serve it just because would ruin aesthetics. I could be wrong.
Pretty much!

Some great examples in "Conway's Nightmare" https://youtu.be/5IUj1EZwpJY?t=2053

My favorite from memory is that Windows now has five completely different volume control UIs, each of which can be traced directly to distinct product teams and their organizational dynamics across time.

This video makes goes futher and says that the evidence for Conway's law is not only strong but has yet to be disproven; the closest we can get to a fundamental law in computer science. Given that software is always created for a social purpose (there are some users or beneficiaries of the technology), it's sort of a tautology that social dynamics are going to strongly influence design.
I'd prefer many aspects of cyberpunk fiction that we didn't get. Our "cyberdecks" turned out smaller and more omnipresent than in fiction. They are also much more locked down and nobody is hacking anything with them. They ended up mostly attention control machines for the corpos. We didn't get impressive cities with mega buildings/arcologies but instead more sprawl of cookie-cutter town houses. No steamy backalleys in which to eat ramen under neon lights.

They're just getting in on the game. The EU does it, various European countries do it, as well as India and others. About the only ones who don't get the special treatment are China and Iran.

So now US states are doing it. What do you expect? I should be able to run a website and if you don't want your people to see it, put up your great firewall or get fucked. But we decided to take a different path, where countries can charge companies and people for violating their laws when they've never set foot there and creators have to geoblock. And plenty deriding this move applauded it when it was their ideologies being protected.To those people: help us free the internet again or go cry in a corner about it. This is your fault.
TelaMalloc: Efficient On-Chip Memory Allocation for Production ML Accelerators
Correct, however they do exist and some higher-end restaurants use them. Places usually advertise them as 'super freezers' that operate at -60C, some of the michelin star type restaurants go deeper with medical cryocoolers. It's becoming more common now that places like NYC have a regulation requiring freezing (where before a restaurant could just source from a parasite-free supplier).
being sympathetic to that requires pretending that the user would have ever commissioned an artist for that idea at all. both the transaction and the idea would have simply never happened. it was never valuable enough or important enough to commission a human, hope you got the correct human, wait week after week for revision after revision.

people that want to hone a niche discipline for themselves still can do that. just be honest about doing it for yourself.
> why is Google the scapegoat instead of the entire industry that didn't adopt it?

Because on the web Google is 'the industry'. It's not a problem that it was behind a flag, it's a new format after all.

The problem is Google did implement it and then removed support without sufficient explanation. Given their market power and the fact they're behind competing standard, it raises a few questions.
Public transit needs to offer something in exchange for time spent transferring to and from public transit and the inconvenience of riding with strangers in a vehicle that's not playing your favorite playlist.
For example, dedicated use of shoulder lane by the bus to get to work faster than everyone else. Or lounge like atmosphere or with tables to get something done while commuting. I just think that sitting in the same traffic as you would in a car, listening to headphones instead of your car speakers, having to smell/deal with others, make public transit unwelcome to many.

Sushi in the us has to be held at -20C for 7 days, or -35C for 15 hours. They absolutely sell extra cold freezers that go to that temperature. Your home freezer won't.

> I’d wager the vast majority of sushi restaurants are using regular freezers.

After the 7 days at -20 the fish can just be transferred to a regular freezer. So you're right, most places probably don't have the special freezer in house.

This seems bad from a privacy point of view. Imagine, one person owns a home and rents a few of the rooms. That person has to gather private information from the renters. Then PG&E gets the private information. This just plainly seems prejudiced. Why should somebody with more income pay more? Should milk cost more because one has a higher income? Also, how exactly does PG&E verify the income. What if one does not know one's income? If one has zero income or next to zero income for 11 months, then one make some transactions for tax purposes, and one goes form poverty to a much higher tax bracket; does one pay 11 months at poverty level and one month at rich person level? Also, what exactly is defined as income? Is it W2 income, adjusted gross income. This seems wrong looking from every leve. There is no reason for PG&E to gather this. If the state wants to, it can subsidize poor people when they pay their taxes. Perhaps one can put the amount paid to PG&E into the tax form. This just seems like way more work than it should be.

Tilelink seems to be a memory interface, including cache coherency; Interlaken is a packet interface - each could be built on the other, but with less efficiency.
Proprietary often has a lower total cost of ownership than the comparable loss of productivity and loss of support compared to open source software.

Do you have a good example of a company that provides support comparable to Microsoft's www.office.com (word, excel, powerpoint, outlook, teams, and one note). Note that this is a web instance which means that the cost of installing and managing software updates on various computers is reduced.

The lower taxes is not guaranteed at all when looking at the total cost of ownership.

With open source software, this often means increasing the staffing (because there's no corresponding org that will do the support with the necessary SLA) which also means that there isn't necessarily more efficient government.

The "better software for all to use" - switching to LibreOffice (or one of its forks) doesn't mean that the open source developers are going to prioritize the issues from Smith County, KS when there's an issue that impacts them.

To go down this path of "lets have government use open source" it is first necessary to get the open source developers to want to make their product competitive for government use compared to the proprietary ones that are out there and for companies to step up and provide similar SLAs that Microsoft and others offer.

That is something that can happen now, but isn't because there isn't enough interest from the FOSS community to do that for that sector. Trying to push the public sector to do it would be painful, expensive, and inefficient and not result in any better software.
From what I read on the internet, people assume AI generated art is a difficult question legaly speaking. Some literally assume artists complain only because there are out competed.

I disagree - I think that AI generative art is an easy case of copyright infrigement and an easy win for a bunch of good lawyers.

That's because you can't find an artist for a generated picture other than the ones in the training set. If you can't find a new artist, then the picture belongs to the old ones, so to speak. I really dont see what's difficult with that case. I think the internet assume a bit to quickly it's a difficult question and a grey area when maybe it just isnt.

It's noteworthy that Adobe did things differently than the others and the way they did things goes in the direction im describing here. Maybe it's just confirmation bias.
> Computers can't learn abstract concepts

Goalposts can be moved on whether it has "truly learned" the abstract concept, but at the very least neural networks have the ability to work with concepts to the extent that you can ask to make an image more "chaotic", "mysterious", "peaceful", "stylized", etc. and get meaningfully different results.

When a model like Stable Diffusion has 4.1GB of weights and was trained on 5 billion images, the primary impact of one particular training image may be very slightly adjusting what the model associates with "dramatic".

> If the person directly copied another work, that's a derivative work and requires a license

Not if it falls under Fair Use. Here's a fairly extreme example for just how much you can get away with while still (eventually) being ruled Fair Use: https://www.artnews.com/art-in-america/features/landmark-cop... - though I wouldn't recommend copying as much as Richard Prince did.

> The inputs are directly used in the outputs

Not "directly" - during generation, normal prompt to image models don't have access to existing images and cannot search the Internet.
The images are hosted on a different subdomain - I'd guess that subdomain, or at least some of the content on it, is gone now.
Yes there is a lot of ambiguity that is only resolved by surrounding context.

I try to avoid multiple carriers after getting caught out missing a flight in Dubai due to maintenance delays in Sydney. With a single carrier, the carrier has to pay for accomodation etcetera and it is their problem to get you to your destination.

With multiple carriers, sometimes things become your problem.

If you buy multiple independent tickets to get the cheapest fares possible, you can be really screwed.

So it really depends on your appetite for risk. I sometimes choose the lowest risk to get to my destination, and a high risk option on the way home where I am less time constrained and can be more flexible dealing with any issues. New Zealand is the antipodes to Europe and can take 24 hours to arrive (including stopovers), so any flight problems are significantly worse than for many other countries.
