That issue basically only happens if you eat exactly one plant, not if you eat at least two, because different plants miss different amino acids and most protein rich plants have most amino acids and the differences overlap nicely.

This is so easy you're probably doing it already even as a meat eater: Mexican chilli with rice? Beans and rice compensate for each other's weaknesses. Peanut butter on bread? Peanuts and wheat cover each other.

There are some things that are technically complete by themselves, but mycoprotein (Quorn) which I think is complete, isn't available for purchase everywhere.

Conversely if you do single-foodsource-diet with meat, you can also get problems, most famously protein poisoning and scurvy.
People online are basically parrots, they're just repeating what they've read regardless of who stated it.
I agree with you on this. This can also be experienced from meditatieve practises and journeys into "spiritual enlightenment". Drugs and mind altering behaviors like meditation are a way of hacking the mind. If you hack stupidly or are really unlucky, you can brick your mind. Doesnt mean you shouldnt do it. Adventures are adventures.
We banned YouTube after the kids would do nothing but watch junk like PrestonPlayz for hours and hours. It was really rotting their brains. We have seen positive growth in their interests and behavior since it was banned.

YT is full of good content but the good content is not addictive or viral and the viral addictive content is not good. There might be a few kids that will gravitate toward substance but I have yet to see one. If we visit a home with YT enabled the kids are watching hours and hours of trash.
Here, we're talking about tools that can format shift Minecraft binaries to the web. The repos themselves contain no Minecraft code, I believe.

There are obvious IPR concerns (EULA, derivative work, etc), but it's not a "pirated version" in the conventional sense.
>what official affiliation there was between Stability and EleutherAI, they said: “None.”

That's wild. Handing out a bunch of cash for nothing except vague association. No control? No equity? No IP?

Reminds me of marketing. Cola puts logos on t-shirts of players and proclaims to have sponsored them, but I have yet to see cola claim to have "co-scored" a goal.
Python is not a terrible language; neither is JS, or Ruby, or Lisp, despite being highly dynamic.

Python is indispensable for interactive experimentation (see Jupyter), and is a good glue language (see everything from Pytorch to Blender). It's also indispensable for rapid prototyping.

Python is not a good high-performance language. If performance is something that limits you, you should write performance-critical parts in a language optimized for that. Rust is a fine choice, but many other options exist, from Java to Haskell, and Python-integrated solutions like Cython also help. Note that usually 80-90% of your code is not performance-critical.

Same applies to systems where you want to formally prove certain correctness properties; both Python and C would be terrible choices.

By the same token, Rust is not a terrible language, despite its complicated syntax, the constant struggle with lifetimes and the borrow checker, and long compilation times. It shines when you need performance and correctness. If you need easy experimentation in a REPL, use a different language.

Use the right tool for the job.

Samsung made a series of actual camera-phones about a decade ago, the Galaxy Camera

There’s a very reassuring feeling I’m having right now seeing so many people write about the same kinds of sensation.

Insufficiency. Futility. Infinitesimally unlikely. HAD to. Indifferent, malicious. Having to move things in a way that conflicted with the established physics of the situation.
It's good form to say you're the person behind the thing you're recommending. Making stuff to solve problems is the point of most of the domain this little website is under, so self-promotion is fine, but not saying that's what it is looks bad.
What reason? Did they have an investor tell them they were misled? It's not in the article. Did Stability hide anything about who made the models? Again not in the article. It's content-less insinuations.
My expectation is that one combustion car owners have to pay more of the cost of that fuel choice they'll change over. Lots of people already drive 20 minutes to save $10 on a tank full, or queue at the gas station ditto.

What we're really waiting for is second hand EVs in real numbers, or the political decision that small, electric cars are the only ones allowed on most streets. That would dramatically cut the death rates from both pollution and vehicular homicide.
I wonder if they can combat that by only incorporating the user data once they posted 5 reviews or so.
wait, if you remove everyone from your team it costs $32 ?
That's really funny. My guess is actually not laziness but their device just had some problem installing apps or whatever and they had a quota to fulfill.

Are you aware of the old random stock pick fax scam?

You get some huge list of fax numbers. You pick some random penny stocks and fax each one a different random pick, telling them it's going to explode. Then you look and see which picks fail and you discard those numbers.

Eventually you get down to a small list of numbers they you've been consistently making amazingly prescient stock picks to for the last weeks/months... then you tell them all to invest in some dogcrap that you've cornered or ask them to buy your latest picks, or some other story to extract a lot of money from them.

The victims rubs your rabbit's foot and you cash in.

Thing is that the same scam can be performed in a decentralized manner, even by accident, just by having a lot of investment advisors some of whom get a consistently lucky run.
we massively under-value land in most cases, which is the reason that activists push for solutions like this.

utility scale solar on the ground is economically better, if you're looking at "the numbers". but utility scale solar probably means repurposing farmland, because that's the cheapest land that has enough infrastructure built up around it to make a utility install easy. and repurposing farmland to build solar isn't a clear win in terms of overall societal benefit.
Mass gambling companies should be next. It's a scam and a wonder how it's allowed in society at all.
I never used an iPhone and I don't really know how horrible it is but if people are annoyed with iOS and iPhone, they can always use Android devices. Android devices are on a par with iPhones unlike 10 years ago.
Thanks. So basically the energy to increase voltage comes at the expense of reducing current or am I not summarizing that correctly?
Please make this tool “opt-in” by default
Right. But I'm not promoting it. I am definitely NOT recommending it. It isn’t even launched. I was attempting to ask in an unbiased way whether it would help. That would require one person (the one I am asking) to go and check it out.

Yes, I omitted saying it's mine, not because of any nefarious reason. Just didn't realize it was necessary to simply ask an opinion of one person about whether it would have the intended effect. And in my opinion it would actually be counterproductive to reveal that I made it.
Stability never had any revenue, nor any easy ways to measure their user base.
Their 'growth' is basically dependant on them being able to release open source models that get so popular, unbeatable ecosystems get formed around them.

On this front. SD1.4/1.5 is extremely successful, but there has been no followup. SD2.0 was a total disaster that shocked the community, SD2.1 is still no better than SD1.5. StableLM currently is still a joke in performance. Like, they don't seem to even test their models before releasing them.

Compare their releases, to the polished and immediately dominant releases from OpenAI, and you have to question their researching chops. Did they only succeed with SD1.4 because of collaboration with other companies?
I remember lying in bed with fever, as a kid, and there was a big CRT TV in the room.

The TV looked huge to me, and for some reason, it looked as if it would never be able to fit through the door again. Thinking that the TV was stuck in this room forever gave me the deepest sense of dread. Something had gone really wrong with the world. What would my family do when they realized that the TV was stuck? Would they cry desperately? Would they run away and leave me there? I just felt like life would never be the same again.
I used C in the late 80s and 90s because it was the only viable option for many use cases. In the late 90s I got heavily involved in Java, and C usage dropped. Had some spikes of C++ work (which I despised), and then working in many different languages with no real work on C or C++ in at least 18 years or so.

What always killed me the most in C was the absolutely anemic standard library. OS’ had more libraries, but still very low level stuff.
TIL that Yandex campus where I used to work for so many years was a gulag. Okay.
> Releasing heat into the air is the entire point of the building furnace

You're thinking of forced hot air systems, but these do not vent combustion exhaust into living space. There are fuel remnants and combustion byproducts in the exhaust which would smell bad, and kill people.

Combustion exhaust, and all of the heat it contains, goes up the chimney and is lost. The living space air is heated by proximity to the combustion chamber, but circulates in a separate closed loop.

Also, in a forced hot water system, there is no air circulation at all. 100% of the air involved is heated and goes straight up the chimney.

Aside: Some people call FHW systems "boilers" instead of "furnaces", but this seems to vary by region. Where I'm from, "boilers" are steam systems only -- which seems reasonable, since water is not boiled in a FHW system.
> People return their shopping carts because its the right thing to do, but also there is minimal cost.

Apparently in some communities (such as Germany) it is believed that people cannot be counted on to return the shopping cart properly unless the cart holds a small value coin hostage. So the tolerated cost of selfless acts isn't some human constant, even in developed societies like Germany where people have their basic needs met.

In fact it's even more complicated than that, because specific kinds of selfless acts have different degrees of perceived importance in different cultures. In some cultures, it's considered very important to feed your guests, even if that means the host has to go hungry. In other cultures, feeding your guests isn't important or expected, even from hosts with comfortable abundance.
But that's exactly what I'm talking about! In no sense does this article "challenge" random people on HN, because there's nothing to challenge at all. Some people did say they liked LSD, which is as true as it ever was, and other people say they don't like LSD, which is also true. Anyone going from "well I heard it's ok" => "flashbacks don't happen" was wrong before this story was ever published, because the plural of anecdote is not data.
This is a good callout - I'm planning writing an article on the newest member of this group: ProductHunt.

Once a promising place to find curated, quality apps that developers put care into, is now a hellscape of endless repetitive entries of the hype du jour, mixed in with sleazy Google-style adverts and awful social-media-esque interaction reminders (streaks, leave reviews on apps you haven't even clicked on, etc)

I'd like to think it's possible for this to stop, but I honestly don't anymore.
That’s a good idea.
So the article seems to be right - wait with EVs until they improve. Why suffer the pains of an early adopter?

I'm not sure how one could equate a lack of DD to deliberately misleading investors.
I agree. The only real use for more pixels is for crop-to-zoom. I want big glass and big sensors so we can get real bokeh.

My ideal phone camera would be a single APS-C sized sensor replacing all three current iPhone cameras. The lens should be a f1.2, 50mm equivalent pancake. Yes that’s hard to do, but using fancy fresnel lenses and a pile of CPU to correct things I bet you could make it work. Make the sensor ~30 megapixels so you can digital zoom.

Add a mount that includes communication so if you want you can add fancy lenses and they can be active parts of the autofocus system.

This design actually competes with low-end mirrorless and is probably even possible to build (the lens might be pushing what’s possible, but I bet we can get close).
Everybody I know that used Tesla for solar regrets it. Cheap stuff, but you end up paying for it in the end.
Its soft censorship, yt is famous for it.
While I'm eager for people to be able to use leading-edge LLMs without associating their prompts with the real identity, this offering seems untenable.

It's at the mercy of OpenAI to throttle or disable the underlying access.

It's from an unclear team using crummy mealy-mouther likely-ChatGPT-originated copy. So why would anyone trust it?

It casts shade against OpenAI, claiming – contra OpenAI's own assurances about retention – that "ChatGPT may store data related to your queries and responses". But, it only offers the same non-verifiable assurances itself – with even less reputation, or opportunity to hold accountable for violations, than with OpenAI.

Overall, a service like this seems extra-likely to have been offered by sketchy operators, & mostly of unique use to people who want briefly get-away-with-something with regard to OpenAI's preferences.

There may be a place for such a service, but I wouldn't trust it or expect it to be useful for very long.
In my store, the fish is right next to the butcher, in the same aisle...

Fishing is the primary source of plastic in the ocean, it has its environmental issues as well. That is before we talk about offshore fish farms, where the fish live in a cage their whole life, get fed subpar inputs, and generally resembles chicken farms. Not to mention that we have over fished the natural ocean to the point that the salmon food chain is in danger of collapse...
We solved that by just triggering an alert five minutes after the rotation changed.

This made sure the new on-call was aware they had started their shift and had access to acknowledge the page and clear it.

And if they didn’t it escalated to tier two, who would find out why tier 1 didn’t clear it.
I do have some admiration for the algorithm - but I also wish that refreshing the home page would show me some more of the many thousands of videos that I'd likely find interesting, rather than the same 20 just in a different order.
They quite literally justify the lack of sideloading and the 30% cut by saying that they provide you actual human services like review.

"The guiding principle of the App Store is simple—we want to provide a safe experience for users to get apps and a great opportunity for all developers to be successful.

>A very common theme I see[...] is that they seem quite willfully ignorant of what the law is and shocked when the obvious outcome comes to pass.[...]obviously doomed projects

I'm skeptical about this idea that these people are ignorant and that these projects are doomed. Where have you seen this?
I guess because I live in a country where marijuana is fully legalized, I have never seen this as an issue. Our pot is labelled in the same way alcohol is, so you know pretty close to exactly what you are in for.

You can buy weed that has nearly no THC and a whole lot of CBD. But we also have infused pre-rolls that are nearly double the strength of natural weed with no CBD. These are polar opposite experiences.

Everything is labelled both in Percent, and in mg/g so there is no mistaking whether or not the weed is strong, weak, or somewhere in between.

Everything also gets described with terpene measures, as those volatile oils have a huge impact on the experience. It's pretty much the reason why if it smells super dank and thick, you're headed for couch lock, and if it smells lemony fresh and clean, you're in for a super clear head buzz instead.

Likewise, marijuana is nearly always sold with an educational fact sheet. One learns early on that CBD is both medically useful, but also takes "the edge" off of strong weed. Beginners should start slow, and don't smoke weed that has 0% CBD.

Also there's the well known strategy: If you're the personality that tends to have that dread feeling when the buzz comes on, then start with only a small amount until you pass that first stage. Then you can smoke like crazy without that dread feeling, since it is really only triggered in the initial phase. Once you're adjusted into it, you're all good for the night.

Just don't smoke so much that you end up greening out. That's a real thing, but nearly only ever happens if you eat too much THC edibles at one time. It's hard to green out from toking once you get past the initial phase because auto-titration kicks in big time. Most people don't even realize they are doing it, but it has everything to do with why one can toke 10x the amount over the course of an evening at a party than they ever could at home, and never have that dread feeling that one can experience if they use too much from the start.

People usually only learn that through experience, but it should be part of the education. Knowing the phases (initial coming on, the buzz, then fading back to normal) greatly enhances the experience.
So what do you want then, a world where the engineer has the same standard of living as the cleaner or where the cleaner has the same standard of living as the engineer?
All AI companies used to release their top tier research into the open. Google doesn't have control/equity/IP over the transformer paper.

GPT-J and co are GPT-2 equivalents, that are not actually useful in any way. So its more just building up the open source ecosystem.

Stability did get the branding rights to SD1.4, they spent a few million to get incredible name recognition out of nowhere, in the hottest and most competitive tech space ever. Those sponsored alphago tournaments costed way more and had less reputational impact than the millions using SD every day.
Cyprus is not a cheap place to live. Some people went there, but many more ended up in Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Turkey and Kazakhstan. Why there? Well, these are the countries which let Russian citizens stay...
> Stability never had any revenue, nor any easy ways to measure their user base

They do, for the products they have/will have. Right now, I think it's only DreamStudio, but like any SaaS product, they can and surely do measure the amount of users, and trivial for them to see the revenue.

What you're talking about, the models they help release, are not products themselves, more like research output they give away for free. Probably in order to drive users to their paid products.
I mean maybe? Depends on how willing you are to trade small risks for small benefit. But we have no real bounds on upsides or downsides, and no real probability of any of it. I don't know about you, but my prior in situations such as these is that if a strong effect in either direction were likely, we'd have better data.
Some of their behaviour over the past year makes me feel the company has a culture which doesn't hold honesty as a core value.

The Runway takedown or something your refer to was Stability sending a takedown request to HuggingFace
claiming an IP leak over the publication of version 1.5 by their academic partners Runway. That was sorted out, if you want to call it that, after massive public outcry and Emad claiming it was just confusion on HuggingFace's part. HuggingFace then confirmed Stability's legal team contacted them to retract the request afterward.

Then there was the incident where they contacted Discord to take over the main StableDifussion channel without informing the owner. There was also the incident where they convinced the owner of the main stable diffusion subreddit to give them mod rights and removed all other mods as well as any info and mentions related to one of the most widely used StableDiffusion tool (Automatic1111).
The same is true of junior devs, I find.
Flawed design is still a flaw.

I'll accept that it is a design feature to get around another failure mode, and that it might even be preferable sometimes.

But it's a serious flaw. Terminal emulators should never drop output, that's what control flow signaling is for!
I'm really sorry that happened to you. I think it's clear that for some people it's just inappropriate, and that preparedness is necessary but not sufficient. I don't think it's clear when it is or isn't appropriate, which is obviously super dangerous and deserving of further study. I think it's important for stories like yours, the top level comment, and the article to be shared & taken seriously.

(To be clear, that's not what I meant about fear mongering stories. I mean fictitious boogy man stories, like https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/orange-juice-lsd/ . You can see the same thing with fentanyl today - fentanyl is deadly, but people still feel the need to exaggerate and attribute impossible characteristics to it, leading to panic attacks in cops that so much as touch it. In the same way, psychedelics are dangerous, but there was a time when people felt compelled to invent fictitious ways for them to be dangerous.)
maybe try nixos? assuming you are happy to handle the conf management
> that investors were mislead by the claims made by Stability.ai's IP

Which claims, precisely? Could you quote these claims that were made by Stability/Emad that makes it clear they were misleading the investors?

Because the article doesn't make those clear, these claims you talk about.
Lots of those shortcuts are basically Emacs shortcuts. I’m always sad using gdocs on Linux that they don’t support the Emacs shortcuts.
Yeah I did read about those and tried a couple of times without much success, totally my fault though.

It's a bit tough for me at the moment as I WFH and $wifie is horrified by the idea of fasting, but well if I don't get fired over next two weeks I'll start going into the office.
I'm currently working on a variation of a spiking neural network that learns by making and purging connections between neurons, which so far has been pretty interesting, though I am having a hard time getting it to output anything more than just the patterns it recognised. I did play around with adding its outputs to the input list, making it sort of recurrent but its practically impossible to decode anything thats going on inside of the network. Im thinking of tracking the inputs around to see what its doing right now, might be interesting to see it generate some sort of tree-like structure.
Watching one „wrong“ video can mess everything up for a couple of weeks though, which always gives me some level of anxiety :D
