But you're stuck in sort of meta duality yourself: you assert a distinction between reality and phenomena (such as consciousness). Did we actually -prove- that consciousness can not be a property of reality and is mere emergent phenomenon as YB and company claim? (note: consciousness =/= intelligence. Our little black boxes are at best approaching 'intelligence'.)

YB starts off with ~'we all agree mind is a product of the brain'. No, we do not all agree. Did we ever find the 'bottom' of matter? Has are search to find 'irreducible particle' succeeded? Is it not the case that as we threw more energy into our apparatus we found more elementary matter? Did we in fact finally arrive at a coherent unified model that fully explains material reality without "mathematical woo"?

So the honest position is that we have patchwork understanding of reality at various scales, and the reductionist program of Democritus et al has not been conclusively shown to be the ultimate truth. It seems that mind is bounded by the body but that 'boundary condition' depends on various reductionist assumptions about materiality.
Not that I can share unfortunately. But here is the implementation I got the idea from. https://github.com/mjal/rescript-use-tea/blob/master/src/Use...

I defined the actions a little differently and followed the rescript-react pattern of having effects return an Option of a cleanup fn but most of the idea is there.

Looking around just now I also found this PoC of someone doing a very similar thing but all inline with react. https://github.com/mishaszu/rescript-model-view-poc/tree/mai...

Really the only jump you need from react to the elm architecture is having the reducer be (State, Action) -> ('State, Effects) instead of simply returning the new state alone. The then you have a useEffect that invokes the side effect fns, passing in dispatch so they can send updates back to the reducer & so reducer stays pure. There are a bunch of different ways to set that up, and honestly a lot of react apps blunder into an accidental and incomplete version of this anyway it's such a natural model.
The price is quite reasonable. You shouldn't compare it to a MacBook Air but to other stand alone boxes with built in controllers like the Akai MPC X which is €2400, the Akai Force, which is quite Ableton-like and which costs €1200.

It also comes with an MPE controller and those are not cheap.
Former Shutterstock employee (was laid off in 12/2022).

Shutterstock makes most of it’s money from two operations:

1. Editorial content - images/video of news related events. Pictures of celebrities or photos of Biden, pictures of the Met Gala, etc. They have exclusive deals that keep this pipeline alive.

2. Commercial licensing - HBO/Netflix will often bulk buy a set of a couple hundred images for promoting their new show.

Everything else is trash web development and tech. They fired their AI team and their current AI tech is just rewrapped existing engines such as DALL-E. In the last five years they’re internal teams redesigned their website/marketplace at least 3 times. From React to React to NextJS. They frequently purchase companies and lay off the teams after about a year (see ya Giphy).

Shutterstock doesn’t have to be good at tech because they can feed off of the work of other companies doing it for them. That’s why they let companies like Facebook blatantly train off their data set. That’s why they consumed PicMonkey.

To make it seem like they are an innovator they rely on yearly announcements of investment in new fads (like their current AI efforts) and lay off tons of teams to boost their stock price so they can say they save on labor costs.

They are ripe to be displaced either by a smarter competitor that can offer better compensation per image or by Getty Images.
This is a very silly straw man argument, and I'm getting whiplash from the continual changes of topic in search of a valid point.
Uh, no. This is false. It’s just part of a broader trend to stop using ‘master’ due to some people finding that term offensive.

It happens in any other language too, at least for me. Sometimes you have a thought but can't quite put it into words. My guess is that it's simply more pronounced in Ithkuil.

Also, anecdotally, my inner monologue is sometimes behind my "real" thoughts. I can think faster than I can speak, even in my own head.

Scientists also seem to be more anxiety prone than the general population. Also, it doesn't help if you take your work too seriously.
Don't know why this is getting down voted, I've drawn a similar conclusion.

If a language has a rock solid and performant LSP implementation, it says a lot about the current status and culture of that language with regards to its capacity as a professional-grade general purpose programming language.
I am pretty confident google could spin up an org to replicate the uber app in a few months/maybe a year. However, Uber obviously cannot spin up an org to replicate self driving vehicles in a few months. By that logic I would say Waymo has all of the power since they could develop their own app and undercut uber on pricing. The customers would instantly leave as it is a race to the bottom with ride share.

The most important sentence in this article:

"Remember that you are a problem solver before you are a technologist."

(Almost) everything we make has users. The most important criterion we have for deciding how to build things is "will it make life better for our users?"
Nothing except user experience.

The Push lets you turn physical knobs to adjust sound parameters, and the pressure sensitive pads let you play drums / piano / whatever softly to loudly. The external sound interface is very low latency so playing a guitar along with sequenced music feels natural and records in time. And of course it’s more durable for live performances.

But technically, with the right software, you could produce the same music on an iPad. There are step sequencers and Ableton controllers in the App Store. They’re just much less satisfying / expressive / empowering to use.
The sale was forced by the UK antitrust agency while Giphy is a US company.

I guess it's theoretically possible that Americans colluded with the British civil servants to scam Meta out of $350 million, but it seems unlikely.
It was a court ordered sale, so it would seem that shutter stock is getting a deal that meta otherwise wouldn’t have put on the table.
> The EU also is trying to pass a law forcing companies to have a backdoor to their encryption.

And some US state is banning one app rather than trying to find sensible privacy protection that applies to any app.

I'm not sure of your point, TBH. It doesn't follow at all from the above.
You seem to be projecting assumption here. The comment you replied to says she's written books they've seen in a book store.

Also, note that the average book sells very few copies. Even traditionally published books. Some books have higher production values that'd justify a lot of extra effort, but tends to be linked to name recognition for people with very established names. It's not at all a given that all that much money has gone into producing these books.
>Google could bang out a ride booking app in a weekend.

Google's culture isn't really built around providing human support to users. I believe there is also lots of onboarding involved for restaurants so Google may struggle there.

With that said, I am constantly hit up by outsourced Google reps for Adwords + Firebase but I think the average customer has a much higher transaction volume with much better margins than a restaurant would.

This guy's content snuck into my youtube algo not long ago. He seems to have a real disorder that stems from age and time, permeating every aspect of his life. I know it sounds a bit judgemental, and everyone should be able to do as they please. Agreed. But if you look into him, he is actually peddling a lot of these gadgets and courses around anti-aging. The media attention he's getting is probably just lining his pockets even further
Oh yeah, I agree with that worst offender - features that don't exist that it quotes so confidently.

Especially when libraries get updated constantly - I ran into cases where it wrote functions based on previous versions of the library, where the function names and signature had already changed since.

I haven't tried yet, but I bet if I used a version that has web browsing and can read the latest documentation, it would do a good job and save me having to read the documentation myself and try to work it out.
A NYT Cooking recipe for a French Onion Grilled Cheese sandwich admits 45 minutes to prepare, allocating 30 minutes to cooking the onions. I've made it a few times and I think that's about right. It's friggen delicious BTW:

I'm guessing it happened to a point. King with their Candy Crush saga had higher revenue and profits than Blizzard [1] for a while now. The amount of money mobile gaming pulls is insane. It's hard to leave that on the table.

Luckily this didn't spread beyond their mobile apps, unlike other game developers that push to replicate the model on desktop and consoles.

If we are trying to at least match human level then all we have to do is summarize and store information for retrieval in the context window. Emphasis on summarize.

We take out key points explicitly so it's not summarized, and for the rest (less important parts) we summarize it and save it.

That would very likely fit and it would probably yield equal to or better recall and understanding than humans.
Too me that's not taking into account lots of peoples prospective and priorities and only acting in the interest of a small percentage of the population while also not destroying the freedom and opportunities of any one individual.
Just because uber is not profitable with human drivers doesn't mean it'll be the opposite without them.

This article is complete bullshit from beginning to end.
I want cooked to be something I want to eat. I don't eat at McDonalds, while the food is safe to eat, it is also gross.
This is a fascinating conclusion. Are there other business models for App Store-like ecosystems that are less broken?
Well, if we're getting into semantics we could maybe say cooked vs prepared, I'm not sure. There's obvious physical differences between burnt onions and caramelized onions. Similarly, there's obvious physical differences between scorched, dry, but safe to eat chicken, and chicken that has been prepared properly and is tender and juicy. In the context of this thread, we've been talking about cooking things as part of recipes, so the end result and quality is obviously important.
Remember that product safety labelling is for the 5% of population that are either idiots or insane.

Just because in your socio-economic circles, no one is a militant enough vegan to feed a nursing baby Oatly or whatever, doesn't mean people out there don't need some guidance.

I mean there's vegans out there putting their carnivore pets like cats on vegan diets, so you can see someone thinking "hey it's just another milk replacement.. it's healthy!" feeding it to an infant is certainly not a 0.001% edge case.

While I’m unsure if this was true of Master of Puppets, I recall hearing an anecdote about And Justice For All…

When the engineers first rewound the master tapes for Justice they thought the tape was being shredded because the tape machine was making a very strange noise. When they stopped to take a look, they saw thousands and thousands of tiny tape edits. Apparently that was key to how Flemming Rasmussen got the drums so locked in. Hand editing and splicing every beat.

The sound the engineers heard that they thought was the tape shredding was the sound of all of those hand edits flying over the tape head.
This is awful and disgusting indeed. It is telling that the author defaulted to girlfriend. It shows utter alienation from what is ethically expected in or time.

This is a case in point of a morally uneducated person messing with technology that should not be available to such people.

This is evidence that AI needs to be regulated before some more talented and equally morally inept does so.
The article is about caramelized onions within other recipes, not caramelized onions as a recipe.
Was confused at the article until I saw the .co.uk TLD.
I agree with the counter-conclusion you propose, which is that these international laws need not apply to Americans either. (Although I agree with the notion, in a reply, that they aren't 'real' or binding law anyway.)

It's still the case that spy agencies will have more of a difficult time in court and in public perception dealing with the ramifications of spying on citizens. Nonetheless, I don't think this means very much, and if the Federal government would like to, they could take this 'right' away, lie about not violating it, or violate it and ignore the fact that it's happening.

And this isn't about American citizens proclaiming exceptionalism. I suggested no such exceptionalism, and I highly doubt there are many citizens who agree with this any more. I would guess that somewhere near a majority of Americans prefer that we don't waste money spying on anyone. You can put this on the citizens if you like, but I view it similarly to hearing some Americans complain about "the Chinese" rather than "the Chinese government." It doesn't reflect what I believe reality is, that most normal people are not in support of these policies, and normal citizens from 'foreign adversary' nations are not our enemies, and we should not talk about them that way. (Edit: A caveat on this, the US is a democracy so I can see it being argued that the citizens are complicit in their government's behavior. Briefly stated, I disagree, but that's a really long argument and tangent I don't want to go down this morning.)

Here's a poll touching the subject from 2021 (no idea about the veracity, just a result I found Googling "poll americans who support spying"):

> In particular, 46% of Americans say they oppose the U.S. government responding to threats against the nation by reading emails sent between people outside of the U.S. without a warrant, as permitted under law for purposes of foreign intelligence collection. That’s compared to just 27% who are in favor. In an AP-NORC poll conducted one decade ago, more favored than opposed the practice, 47% to 30%.

Nothing to see here. This is a reputed and transparent financial institution. The government is just jealous of having competition.../s

Binance has no known headquarters or transparent books. If you keep money there and you lose it, it's your fault. The same applies to Tether. You're only betting on trust instead of regulations, which never bodes well in the long run.

As a side note, Binance was founded in 2017 and grew to process hundreds of billions of dollars in transactions in a few years. In a hypothetical world as the CEO of such company, how would I even handle such growth without my mind exploding?
Especially once it has a visual element and a sexual element.

I mean I already think of chatGPT as a friend in a sense. I couldn't have less interest in a fake girlfriend but I also wouldn't think onlyfans would work either.

There are so many elements with this to bilk lonely guys. Personally, I have thought of so many ideas for this in the last 10 minutes but fuck that. The whole idea is pretty gross and sad all around. Especially for the people making this.

To me, someone who works on this is basically pathetic and a sad excuse for a human relative to the other things they could spend their time on.
Show HN: A recipe parser to get rid of the cruft. I need you to break it
I made a recipe parser to get rid of all the cruft on recipes. Check it out: https://recipeplz.fly.dev/

Has this been done? Yes. Does this project use AI? Also yes...but barely.

What it does do is grab various forms of metadata that recipe sites often provide for SEO reasons (as per schema.org Recipe spec). It's commonly ld+json, but can be other formats as well.

The trick is this: What the numerous recipe sites output is not always the same - there are many variations of the schema.org specs used for Recipes, so this project attempts to correct for that. It's just a bunch of conditionals.

If all else fails, it uses AI as a fallback to parse a recipe and return valid ld+json Recipe data based on Schema.org's Recipe spec. I even say "please" to the AI overlords.

If a request for a recipe seems to take a long time, you'll know it's pinging OpenAI's API (the Chat API via the 3.5-turbo model).

I'd love to see if you can find a recipe that breaks it!
> Carbon is an element that's all around us, we're made of carbon too. So what exactly are you going to tax and for what purpose?

To be specific, taxing [use of and/or extraction of] fossil fuels. The reasoning is that extracting and using fossil fuels adds carbon to our environment that was previously sequestered within the earth. The goal is to economically encourage the development, production, and use of non-carbon-extraction-reliant technologies that compete with carbon-extraction-reliant technologies.

Yes, it is hard to implement and would be wildly unpopular hence why it won’t happen

> What would actually happen

There’s no point discussing hypothetical issues with hypothetical legislation. What kind of loopholes or corruption can exist is entirely dependent on the legislation itself.
Not the OP, but I see a ton of Schitt's Creek "reaction gifs" on Twitter replies, which are usually embeds from Giphy. The most common ones are SC, reality TV, maybe the Office US.
I wonder to what extent these attacks can be mitigated by the addition of “noise” in the form of concurrent/interleaved computational loads, analogous to how fuzzy fonts can be used mitigate TEMPEST radiation-based information leakage ( https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/10/8/2828/html ).

Obviously this would necessitate a security/performance trade-off.

> Alphabet has a large stake in Uber.

Since Uber is a publicly listed company, its top owners are public information. Which show Alphabet to not have a significant portion of ownership in Uber.
I found a video UCL put out a few years ago on what the article seems to be discussing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcqkXkWZhbM
This doesn't really make sense to me.

What does Waymo get out of this? It seems to me like if the value proposition in self driving is there (privacy, consistency, etc), people would be willing to download another app? Especially once word of mouth goes through.

Plus currently the Waymo app has neat features (when the car is on its way to you, it shows you stuff like when it's stopped at a red light or whatever) that Uber probably can't replicate due to API access issues.

There's a few shows I've checked out solely because I've seen so many reaction GIFs and stills from them. ("Community" comes to mind.) If your show lends itself to the format, it does seem like a great way to market it.
I did quite a bit of work implementing GDPR compliance not long before it became enforceable and it was quite easy? Basically we had to make sure we knew where data was kept and how to delete/retrieve it. The biggest piece of work was making sure our logs didn't have personal info in them (sensible anyway imo) and adding proper log rotation.

Like every company will be different, but you really should know where your data is kept.
I think the promise of giphy was that advertisers would pay for sponsored gifs. So The Voice gets top placement for “wild crowd” gif and then gets shared X,000,000 times in a native way.

It’s a sensible thesis that appears to be invalidated for now.
It seems like this is a symptom of a larger problem, rates of anxiety and depression have been going up in recent years in pretty much every facet. I always hear that social media is to blame, but I wonder if that is really the case? I feel like something else is going on, maybe it's just a totality of smaller issues rather than one big problem.
