There is a history of sex work attracting disproportionate, sudden, catastrophic legal responses. It carries a considerable amount of political and reputational risk.

Now, you might reasonably argue that AI chat isn't actually sex work, or that since no actual women are involved in it the usual "anti trafficking" arguments don't hold. But the real question is: what happens when there's a moral panic, and someone digs up the most explicit, weirdest bits of Replika chats and reads them out in a congressional inquiry?
It reminds me a lot of Aseprite, which is free to compile yourself since it's open source, but you have to buy it on Steam for auto-updates and such.

> An aside: ventilation plus filtration is the major reason that the risk of Covid infections on flights was and is so relatively low: air in the cabin is replaced every couple minutes, fresh air is drawn from outside the plane, and mixed with recycled air passed through HEPA filters.

IME, the most effective thing to do in a house is filtration inline with the intake of a ventilation system.

In my case, I have an activated carbon and a MERV13 filter that cleans incoming outdoor air just before it's fed to the heat recovery and distribution system.

You still need a separate recirculating filtration system to deal with particulates generated within a house.
What regulation specifically? From my own experience, Texas power grid deregulation definitely hasn’t made my electric bill go down.
To fix this problem, you really need to change society as a whole.

But until that happens, this is better than being completely alone and isolated.

Of course it is totally overblown.

FullStory | Staff Software Engineer, Mobile Enablement | Atlanta, GA or REMOTE from USA or Canada

FullStory is an analytics and session replay tool that is used by PM's, Support, and Engineering teams to help their customers and improve their web and mobile apps. Our web session replays look nearly like screen recordings, except with private data redacted in the browser. On mobile, we use Private-by-Default, so it looks a bit more like a wireframe until various parts of the app are marked as safe to capture.

We’re looking for someone who’s probably a little more backend-heavy, with some mobile or mobile-adjacent experience, to help our mobile capture work seamlessly with everything else at FullStory. (The company was built around web and rolled out mobile more recently, so there are still some features such as heatmaps that need additional work to support mobile.)

Our backend is primarily written in Go (golang), although there is also a bit of Rust code. You might also work with TypeScript for our web interface, and Java/Objective-C for Android and iOS.

Great benefits: healthcare, 401k matching, equity, self-directed PTO (I tend to take about 5-6 weeks of vacation a year), good pay (not sure what the range is for this role, but I make $205k base with about 18 YoE), and a really great remote working experience. (Some of this is US-specific, but we take good care of our Canadians also. I think your title might be “Developer” rather than “Engineer”.)

Apply at https://www.fullstory.com/careers/jobs/56457178-344f-47c7-98...

Feel free to contact me here or nathan@[company site] if you have any questions.
Are there any good AI inpainting and outpainting plugins for Krita?

Then Intel has all the body-of-water names for chips that get delayed so you hear about a chip with some silly name for years, then by the time it hits the market you've heard about it so long it sounds obsolete, like an IBM 360 or a DECSYSTEM-20. Intel should make "Shit Creek" and then give up on the Lakes and Seas and all that...
I'm not even sure how you would define spam as anything other than "email I don't want" because saying "unsolicited" has been gamed to death.

I work in medical physics. The issue of ozone generation from ionizing radiation has come up from time to time. In radio/fluoro rooms, it's basically undetectable. In radiotherapy, it might reach the odor threshold after long treatments, but this is rare.

These are systems that produce radiation way beyond the energies that can create ozone via UVC. The ozone level is barely measurable and not considered a serious risk. In the video you linked, the narrator opens by saying that ozone barely even makes it through the ventilation system, which is consistent with my understanding of ozone: a reactive, unstable gas. And Dr. Siegel emphasizes this as well: O3 doesn't stick around easily. He doesn't seem to share the presenter's obsession with ozone.

Frankly, I found the video tedious and gave up after a minute. Also, the Siegel's background is mechanical engineering, and he's obviously hedging his statements. Here's an actual scientific review of O3 generation by lamps:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/php.13391

Critical quote: "Again, soft glass UV-C lamps cannot generate ozone".

>I have zero confidence of them maintaining an UVGI

An unmaintained mercury-vapor lamp will not suddenly violate the laws of physics by emitting radiation below the 254 nm spectral line of mercury. The only mechanism that would alter the ozone generation rate is electrical arcing outside the device, which is really a concern with any electrical equipment and not specific to Hg lamps.

Frankly, most of your posts on this sound like you watch too many videos and don't read enough. "Performing chemistry experiments on yourself" — really? This stuff has been studied for centuries.

A more realistic concern with UVGI is that they don't kill everything and can't replace other ventilation components. Some microbes are very, very radioresistant and you're just not going to deliver 10 kilogray in a continuous flow duct using reasonable levels of power.

I'd say its more of an infrastructure issue than an implementation issue, at least in the US where consistent uninterrupted broadband access is still kind of a giant clusterfuck in many places due to de facto regional monopolies and ISPs not feeling much pressure due to real competition.

No amount of delivery tech is going to make up for the infrastructure being unfit for purpose in so many areas.

The premise of the this company is such a sham. Their backstory, the promises, the evolution of the product.

You also make a dollar in the process.

You take out a $1 loan (bond). You then pay yourself with the $1 (stock buyback).

You are realizing future profits today. As long as the cost of bringing those profits forward is less than reward, you net profit.

Interest tax deductions are just a perk.
I don't see pay range(s) listed for the open roles. Not sure how many employees you have, but at least in California, if you have 15 or more, you have to disclose a pay range in the job listing. Colorado has a similar laws. New York's takes effect in September 2023 (and applies to 4 or more employees).

I've never understood why anyone talks about their pre-tax/cost earnings. We should compare the amount that hits our bank account, not the top line item on paystubs, because that's the amount we actually have available to spend.

Not looking at true take home pay is how gig driving companies are able to get drivers even though the pay is absolutely shit after accounting for taxes plus wear and tear/gas costs.
At least they didn't spend $44 billion on it...

It's been over 20 years. I've given up on TSA security theatre ever going away. Heck, I barely remember what air travel was like before 9/11 (I was a teenager) - "zoomers" meanwhile have never known a sane air travel experience. For them this is just "the way it is".
Nah. Zero messaging internally encouraging government work.

I'd say the high level of education, pro-work, pro-patriotism, high morality emphasis on top of the extra level of foreign language competency makes it a natural fit.

I was surprised to find out recently my Dad had applied to the CIA back in the 60s- but on reflection not too surprised. The more the 60s and 70s went counter-culture, the more that the Utah/AZ/Idaho axis of Mormons went from their traditional pro-Democratic post FDR base to a pro-government pro-Republican, anti-Communist direction.

He ended up going into business instead, but if his background check hadn't gone on so long, he'd likely would have taken a .gov offer if it'd come before his corporate offer.

Bold of you to assume I'm not one of them. I struggle with autism. I very seldom leave my house for anything but work or buying groceries. I struggle with maintaining friendships. Post-COVID-19, I'm still working from home even though the risk isn't there in terms of COVID-19.

>What happens to such people who are to poor to afford the ~$170 per hour fee for professional psychologists?

This is a failure of a country's healthcare system. I can access it all day long in the UK. I'm not even saying "Rule Brittania", we have plenty of problems with our healthcare system due to underfunding, yet spaffing countless billions away on projects that amount to nothing.

The missus's family live in America. Access to psychiatric and physician adjacent medical services due to what insurance will cover is something I think about regularly. Your many assumptions about what I apparently think says a lot about you, and also tells me that you didn't read my other comments about this not being fit-for-purpose in terms of safety.

Virtue-signalling and assumptive to imply that I don't treat people with kindness and understanding. Bold of you to assume that every commentor on HN is responding from an America-centric POV.
Jack is not a cofounder. Nostr.com is owned by a random user (not sure who, but can probably figure it out). Nostr was created on 2020 by an anon developer named fiatjaf.

He has no part in the development of the protocol other than the grants, although he is an active user.

>takes your phone or laptop to another room, the safe bet is to consider that device compromised if it’s brought back later, and to immediately procure new devices in-region, if possible

Isn't an easy solution to this is to have your "laptop" just have a generic OS install, but have your real machine a bootable USB or SD?
I bet most of the community here defaults to Following (non-curated timeline). Mine's gotten a lot quieter, without as many interesting threads cutting across fields, but talking to friends hasn't changed.

Corporations are the governments private enforcement contractors. They’ll control the internet and we’ll work for them, and they’ll work for government.

See! Government involved in your life!

Nice job building a firewall between society and government control.

At the end of the day it’s all people. The semantic bubbles do nothing to change its all just people looking to externalize effort to live simpler themselves.
The FBI goes after folks like Cliven Bundy. Support for separatism is higher is rural regions, including where LDS are. The LDS Church speaks against nationalism specifically but - like everywhere - folks hear what they want to hear.

Do you mean you can pay to avoid TSA ?

Why is the law different for the average guy who flies and for the private jets ? I thought everyone had to go through security.

It also shows that TSA is useless. Otherwise, someone would just have rented a jet to hijack it.

Lastly, most workers can wait 2 hours at the airport to save $15k. You have to be a billionaire to figure out that 2 hours are worth 15k

The arguments for a centrally planned economy have been empirically disproved numerous times as to make the debate moot. But logically it is so clear:

It is impossible to assign value to something in any prescribed way, as the value of anything is determined by me. This is why my wedding ring has extremely high value to me, and I would need a lot of money to part with it, well beyond its value as a “generic” gold ring, which is more than its value in atomic gold. You can further extend this to literally anything, but even to commodities, which are theoretically the easiest to assign “value” to as they are fungible.

It is a fool’s errand to try and plan an economy, and those who think they can, or believe they are currently doing so in any meaningful way, are mistaken.
1080p vs 4k is a huge difference, that's pretty amusing. Also what about someone with an ultra-wide monitor such as myself at 1440p? Overall it's just terrible, and good riddance it failed.

>I'd rather people didn't kill themselves, personally.

well then you need both sides of the picture.

Is there a degree of loneliness staved off by these services? Does that help to reduce suicides?

It's easy to say "people killed themselves because X shutdown", it's more difficult to say "X existing is preventing suicides" without more research.

I tend to believe that if people who would consider suicide otherwise are distracted by something along the path then perhaps that is a good thing. It could very well be that this served as a distraction for those folks, rather than being the cause itself.
Yeah, even if juice jacking were impossible, you're still likely to get really crappy power that shortens your favorite device's lifespan. Cables without data pins (and I do have a few) don't solve that. My preferred solution is to plug a compact charger into an AC outlet. Alternatively, charge a $50 battery and then charge your $500 phone from that. Bring two if you want zero downtime. You'll still want something that's decent quality either way, but those aren't hard to find at reasonable prices.

NYC transit agency pulls the brake on Twitter service alerts
I don't see pay ranges listed for the open roles. If hiring in California you have to disclose a pay range in the job listing.
When you pass new regulation (requirements), you generate new costs associated with providing $service_or_product. When costs go up, they are passed on to consumers. Now that your $service_or_product is regulated by 17 regulations that cost an average of $x each, your product now costs $base_price + ($x * 17) dollars. People with low income are less likely to be able to afford it.
you seem to be describing "swatting"
These suggestions seem inconvenient. I guess like a lot of security there’s a trade-off to be made between risk, impact & the cost of mitigation. If you travel frequently, need to work while in transit, you’re going somewhere with unreliable internet, or just don’t consider yourself a likely target then you’re not going to bother with most of this.
