I tried img2img. It will do rough finishing work but it won't take some lighting vectors and match my lighting. It won't shift the viewpoint by 18 degrees. It puts a smooth sheen on rough work with broad stroke needs and that's valuable in some cases, but it is not a general-purpose professional tool.

Canva competently satisfies most non-professional needs but it only satisfies a narrow slice of professional needs. Trying to use it for most professional work takes vastly more time and effort than using a proper professional tool. LaTeX fits academic paper publisher's needs and can pump out formatted and laid-out text far quicker than someone using InDesign but you'd go crazy trying to assemble a modern magazine or high-end book. It doesn't need polish or sheen. It needs something fundamentally structurally different.

I'm both a professional digital artists and a long time back-end software developer. This slice of time has really opened my eyes to what it must be like for most non-developers to speak to developers: constantly oversimplifying your use case and assuming some algorithmic approximation will do without really understanding the problem.
Seems like they let's candidates filter themselves. Win win
I don't even agree with that point. "Some of you will leave Shopify today" is a lot more blunt than the quasi-euphemistic term "laid off". Someone is really stretching for outrage.
> The books I'm referring to are extremely sexual and graphic in nature. And if the content of those books isn't appropriate for YouTube, I don't see any problem with a local government banning that material from schools.

Sure, of course pornographic materials don't belong in schools. But this is clearly not the case at all, and is being used as a strawman to drive all sorts of issues, just like I enumerated with sources for you.

Do you care to enumerate the sources which can actually show instances of pornographic materials being banned from schools that previously contained them, i.e. not just for show? That would be meaningful. Currently, despite your assertion of enlightened centrism, you talk a lot like a Republican
The situations in which employers, credit card issuers, and more entities you are more or less obliged to deal with can impose mandatory arbitration on you have been dramatically expanded by the Supreme Court in recent years in ways I don’t think we “all agreed to.”
They are one-use batteries in the sense that they are sealed and not intended to be refueled at the place of deployment, if ever. They can last for a decade without refueling though, so it may be fine.
Articulating your specification in precise language is the hard part. Learning syntax is easy.
Of course. It being cheaper is why people like it. Same reason that games are free and offer DLC, or Mercedes offers a car that could go faster if you have extra money laying around this month.

I hate the nickel and diming but it does make things more accessible in general.
I'm in the UK and that's my impression of the USA. How ever most people I talk to here seem to think that the USA is some gun ridden bible bashing hell hole. I remember trying to persuade some one that "no really the USA has separation of church and state", they basically didn't believe me and seemed to think the UK had a more secular set up (we have church of England and king is head of that church)
Yep, and I find it so very American to leave that tid bit out of their complaint and then it getting upvoted because muh evil EU? when its really the US goverment screwing their abroad citizens in this case.
Show HN: GPT-JSON – Structured and typehinted GPT responses in Python
Hey HN, I've been using GPT a lot lately in some side projects around data generation and benchmarking. During the course of prompt tuning I ended up with a pretty complicated request: the value that I was looking for, an explanation, a criticism, etc. JSON was the most natural output format for this but results would often be broken, have wrong types, or contain missing fields.

There's been some positive movement in this space, like with jsonformer (https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer) the other day. But nothing that was plug and play with GPT.

This library consolidates the separate logic that I built across 5 different projects. It lets you prompt the model for how it should return fields, inject variable prompts, handle common formatting errors, then cast to pydantic when you're done for typehinting and validation in your IDE. If you're able to play around with it, let me know what you think.
> Yes, except something still has to pay for all the free trial searches and our salaries. Selling product at cost or below is something VC funded startups can do, which we are not.

Sidenote, i'd really enjoy the rollover. At least to some degree. Not infinitely of course, but being able to mitigate the cost of some overages would be really nice.

Aside from that i'm a new customer (1st month), having gone through the trial and now on the $5/m plan. I'm quite happy. I expect i'll upgrade to the $10/m, but i hope i don't have to upgrade to the $20/m because i'll be debating if it's worth it. Regardless, a bit of a rollover price would help a ton with any cost aversion. Even if only up to 1 extra month, or w/e, of rollover. Anything would help.

Thanks for Kagi tho, i'm very happy so far! I also really love the continued work and improvements. It feels like i'm not just paying for the current product, but buying into a larger future product. Which also goes to mitigate cost aversion.
It's all about amount of available VC money to burn and a culture of risk taking, which we both lack in EU, regulation has nothing to do with that.

That's okay, I was just pointing out that it's not hypocritical at all. Personally I'd rather have free as in freedom software running locally on unlocked computers. This should be the norm and use of technology like remote attestation to penalize us for exercising our freedoms should be illegal.
Shopify is a bit weird in that the CEO Tobi has controlling shares in the company. Short of embezzlement or intentionally destructive behavior he's effectively unaccountable to anyone but his own stock portfolio.
Empirically (based on my own observations) I've known for decades that weed induced episodes in schizophrenic people. I didn't know it was helpful for autistic people.

On the same (personal observation) basis, I'd say that schizophrenic people are drawn to cannabis. I have no idea why; perhaps because they're often very marginalized and precarious.
I started programming at the age of 10, in 1985, when none of those things existed (well, some did, but I didn’t have access to them due to the lack of a modem).

Social media isn’t a requirement for learning a skill.
I don't understand how you infer that from what I said.
Some kind or organization dedicated to exposing these front groups for what they really are, and their hidden agendas. Infiltrating them and leaking evidence to the press. A dump of all their internal emails would be very nice indeed (without breaking the law). Just like those exposing cults e.g. Scientology.

We need to give these pressure groups as much publicity as we have given cults. To stop them from having a such a grip on our society, because they represent the opinions of a tiny minority. It is as if we have a second unelected government, because these pressure groups have so much power.

Giving these organizations a name, a word, a label, so that the general public can identify with the problem.

Maybe their actions are illegal in some way, just that they haven't been successfully prosecuted yet. This needs looking into.

And maybe their behavior can be rightly criminalized in some way I don't yet know about? So a new law could put a stop to them. Many are hiding behind registered charity status. If they could be stripped of that status...

That sounds like Santander.
> this really belongs in DNS.

And the primary way of identifying yourself is in fact DNS.

> I’ve been working on a solution to this

Your solution is almost identical to the BlueSky one: put a TXT record at _atproto.<domain> that resolves to a DID. The difference is that they mandate the DID spec and you do not. Which is totally fine! Just figured I'd let you know :)
"Experience comes from bad judgement." Are you speaking from your own experience???
No shit. Every company “lets” candidates filter themselves
I did read it, so get fucked.
Eventually Google will still lose to open models and AI chips.

Hardware performance is what’s making AI “work” now, not LLMs which are a cognitive model for humans not machines. LLMs are incompatible with the resources of a Pentium 3 era computer.

Managing electron state is just math. Human language meaning is relative to our experience, it does not exist elsewhere in physical reality. All the syntax and semantics we layered on was for us not the machines.

End users buy hardware, not software. Zuckerberg needs VR gadgets to sell because Meta is not Intel, Apple, AMD, nVidia.

The software industry is deluding itself if it does not see the massive contraction on the horizon.
It really depends, but in germany (has a large OSM community) OSM has so much better quality & detail for almost everything except buisnesses. It suffers from poor search, routing that doesn't take traffic jams or roadworks into account and a lack of high quality apps and thus only "nerds" use it instead of Google Maps or others.
The problem with this line of thinking is that the price reduction for the "affordable" option compared with the old all-in pricing is $5. The price premium for the new deluxe (with additional features compared to the old all-in price) is $20. [Note that the $5 and $20 are meant to be relative to each other, not to the base price]

People then say, "customers must prefer dogshit because their spending habits tell the story"
Calling Midjourney Bot!
It's not clear to me why Kissinger gets the blame for that, when the US was bombing Cambodia since 1965, and when increasing bombing of Cambodia was part of Nixon's own madman theory.
Binning is completely different, an i5 may be able to perform as fast an i7 if you overclock it, but it depends on your luck on how your i5 was, and it will almost certainly be unstable. Binning is the equivalent of making really fancy chocolates, and selling the slightly worse-looking chocolates for worse.
Found a similar situation, but I think the key is mostly if you're on one of those servers and seek out the content or if you're logged into one of those servers, it won't forward you (even if you click it from here, assuming same browser/container).
Isn't this how over a decade ago people "hacked" Google by hosting a similar file on google sites/blogs when that was a thing? How's anyone still using this method for verification in this day and age :/
Does that assume that you have only one key type and not an infinite sized hierarchy of child classes to deal with? If you had a map that took a Number as key, how many child classes do you think your helper class would cover and what extension framework would it use to be compatible with user defined classes?
That would be a boring world and will never exist without heavy government support.
It'd be nice as an extra precaution, but please don't build things that rely on the Public Suffix List for security (this list by its nature is only a laggy incomplete approximation of the actual use of domains).
> Not sure OpenAI faces the existential risk as MS need them to compete with Google in this space.

I think OP is arguing that in that partnership Microsoft holds the power, as they have the existing platforms. The linked article argues that AI technology itself is not as much of a moat as previously thought, and the argument therefore is that Microsoft likely doesn't need OpenAI in the long term.
Seeing this as a problem with personal responsibility misses that the problem is structural. Culture as expressed through individual choices works great for many situations, but it does not fix broken dynamics.

Besides, if you want to apply that axe put it against the people making those decisions to conduct business in that fashion. If your first thought is that it doesn't make sense to because then that person will be outcompeted then consider that it makes even less sense to hold people with zero agency in that decision responsible.
> AREN'T more open positions than people looking for jobs, and of course there AREN'T people sitting at home totally content being jobless because they don't think jobs available aren't good enough

In many industries, particularly heavy industries, there doesn't seem to be a proximate clearing price for labor. Geography, training and fitness eliminate much of the potential pool.

One remaining component, however, is care. As you said, people aren't "sitting at home totally content being jobless." They're home taking care of loved ones. I'm increasingly in favor of child and elder care [1] as an inflation-fighting policy; it makes sense to fund it out of payroll or corporate taxes.

How so? France has online banks which have very decent conditions, comparable to other EU countries.
Not that I own Mercedes (car for me is just bring me from A to B) but I would never pay rent for the things I buy. They want to sell 2 different models - sure. They want to offer car lease - be my guest. They want to graze on me - fuck you.
Great, I'll be there anyways for lunch around that time.
Batteries are not financially attractive in Belgium where I live. And by not attractive I mean that it is slightly more financially attractive to generate surplus electricity with solar panels during the day than to use electricity at night even without factoring in the battery cost.

Biomass and green hydrogen are utopian dreams. Hydrogen because it is so small that it always leaks. Biomass because it is not scaleable.

Demand control is the only viable option, but this means lower quality of life.
The whole situation is a bit mystifying TBH. The 'standard' answer to a labor shortage in our (capitalist) economy is to offer higher wages which would incentivize workers to move into those jobs. On the other hand, workers having more money is blamed for higher inflation which the Fed desperately wants to curb. Keep in mind, higher wages do contribute somewhat to inflation, however they are by no means the only factor. Supply side effects and opportunistic corporate price gouging are documented contributory factors in the latest bout of inflation [1] [2]

So what's the solution here? Does this mean that the only solution is that workers have to accept ever lowering standards of living as one UK central banker recently recommended [3]?

There's increasing demand for less potent cannabis. Low THC CBD flower and high CBD percentage flower is kind of secondary but you're right that for the most part customer demand is for stronger flower.
My only complaint about the tradeoffs made in Google's current implementation of Advanced Protection is that I can't (even if awkwardly and with difficulty) allowlist any given third party OAuth.

So, if I want to, say, authenticate my Gmail account with Fastmail or ProtonMail, I can't also be using Advanced Protection. [0]

With Google Workspace, admins can allowlist OAuth applications registered with Google APIs for users who use Advanced Protection. Consumer accounts have no such feature.

I am not arguing the logic; I understand it. I just wish it were different. I suspect that passkeys are one stepping stone on the road to increasing account security baselines to be more like Advanced Protection, which may ultimately give me what I want one day. Wishful thinking, perhaps.

[0] These are OTOH examples, which may not be accurate as of this writing.
I hope ai ends in DOOM. It would be cool to see a LLM write DOOM! Somebody get on that for the joke.
I'm with you all the way on your points so far. I think at this point it will be important to refer to a specific product, one that's available to landlords.

I think in the minds of commenters there is an idealised version of "face recognition", so in a way, everyone is arguing past each other.

That's token opposition - it doesn't contain anything remotely threatening. Now start talking about Burisma, the son's laptop, the daughter's diaries. That would get you shut down, around the time of the last election.
Yeah, RON hasn't moved against EUR - but the price of bread, butter, eggs, ham, cheese etc in RON (as well as EUR) has moved up. That's not pegged to prices anywhere.
I don't believe that, I've met people living on minimum wage with brand new mercedes, and I call those people brain dead. Buying a six figures car only makes sense if you're a millionaire.

> We got SIMD but very little code uses it.

Because programming for SIMD is wildly different than MIMD. (And MIMD is what `synchronized` is for.)

The theory was that there would be more machines like AMD Thread Ripper.
Betting on nuclear wouldn't in itself stop Germany for burning coal and gas.. because they use those for a lot more than just electricity. They're the industrial center of Europe. You can't run a steel factory with nuclear power. There are methods of doing it with electricity. Incidentally one of them looks a hell of a lot like a molten metal battery, and will very likely be a very flexible load, so then you might as well just use renewable energy.

I like nuclear, but honestly I think it will simply be completely knocked out by renewables in a decade or so. It's more or less a given that renewables will be the way many - if not most - countries achive zero carbon emission. It's simply the cheapest and easiest way. It's a given that energy storage technology will keep developing at a rapid pace, because it's essential to decarbonizing the transport sector, and for balancing renewables which we absolutely need anyway. Nuclear will not be able to solve the problem fast and cheap enough alone. And nuclear isn't good at balancing renewables so it doesn't let us avoid solving the energy storage problem.

As the oil/gas sector starts scaling down, I think a lot of engineers from that sector will go into advanced geothermal. We're already seening some very promising developments, and in a decade I'm willing to bet it will take off.

Why build new expensive nuclear reactors when there's a completely free fusion reactor already in the sky, and a free fission reactor under our feet? All we have to do is to harvest the energy, and if you run the numbers there's way more energy than we could ever possibly need.

Btw. A small consern about nuclear is that they are thermal power plants. They add heat directly to our planet that wasn't there before. I was honestly very surprised to learn how significant that is for the impact on global warming. Much less than CO2, but still significant. If we get the impact of green house gases down a couple of orders of magnitude, then if we still have a lot of thermal power plants they could actually put a break on further progress.

Should absolutely continue nuclear R&D to enable the exploration of space though. Or just for the advancement of technology in general. And to hedge our bets. Still many reasons to be pro nuclear to a certain extent.

This. My car uses Google Maps for its built-in nav system, and I've spent a lot of time on road trips wondering just what state I was in. It's insane that Google hasn't added something as trivial and important as state borders.
This aligns with my anecdata. My (now diagnosed schitzophrenic) brother was always "off" but his first major episode was triggered by magic mushrooms, which nearly ended in his death (he was trying to cut a demon from his stomache with a hunting knife). If drugs are a match, the underlying mental health issues are gasoline.

Im in the WG14 so ive been involved in the discussions.

It fails for 2 reasons:

In order to make it easy to implement it had to be made so limited, that it in no way useful.

The second reason, and the real killer, is the "as if" rule. It states that any implementation can do what ever it wants, as long as the output of the application is the same. This means that how a compiler goes about implementing something is entirely up to the compiler. This means that any expression can be compile or execution time. You can even run the pre-processor at run time if you like! This enables all kinds of optimizations.

In reality, modern compilers like gcc, llvm and MSVC are far better at optimizing than what constexpr permits. However since the specification specifies exactly what can be in a constexpr, the implementations are required to issue an error if a constexpr does something beyond this.
