AFAIK some azure services can be run on premises if you're a big enough customer. Don't think GPT APIs are available yet but might in theory be possible in the future. Self hosting a model the size of GPT4 would be insanely difficult and expensive. but might be a workable solution for data sensitive enterprises like Apple, JPM and government orgs.
Ignore the downvotes.

I think in general the answer would include the fact that computer reproductions of art are seldom color accurate. Every step from taking the picture to compressing it to displaying it in your monitor is lossy/distorted. The colors and texture of paintings are better appreciated by looking at the real thing.

However, I don't think this is true of Japanese prints. I'm no expert, but I think they were made to be reproduced -- and in fact, many reproductions exist. Color fidelity is probably not a thing. Prints are also small, so that's not a factor either.

In this case, I would say the thing you get out of it is the knowledge that you are looking at "the real thing", a physical piece of history. Whether this is important to you, only you can decide. I've long decided I don't care enough about the Mona Lisa to go look at it in person; reproductions are enough for me. I can make a different decision for other pieces of art that feel more meaningful to me.
The mesosphere has very little water in it.

> But at that point you have only about four usable values, and where was the virtue in using a scale for them?

The virtue was in drastically reducing the space of correct answers.

How long would it take the average developer to pick sizes out of an infinite number of sizes? And how long would it take them to pick sizes out of a small number of sizes?

I know I do not want to fiddle with an infinitely large problem space.

The "dead Internet theory" finally becomes true?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory
I know that revealing the features they use to spot AI submissions would just make their job harder, but I can't help but be curious what sort of features they are looking for. I frequently use ChatGPT to proofread things I write, and I find that in order to avoid "sounding like ChatGPT" it's best to just ask the AI "Is what I wrote clear?" I find if I focus on clarity, the suggestions it makes are pretty basic and unlikely to make my text sound robotic (e.g. fix this misspelling, define this term). If I ask the AI for suggestions on tone, I find it pushes my text too close to a generic "PR friendly" writing style that does not feel personal to me.
Until 2 years ago, I lived without a car and walked to work until 2018 (when I switched to remote working). I know the pros and cons. The USSR being shit doesn't make living without a car shit.

Even now, owning a car, I typically walk or ride. If I tried to do this in the USA, I'd be getting scraped off a stroad.
> This! Even so my local utility is putting in tracking solar projects. Got to be eco-theatre as well.

They probably did the math, and at that location, the ROI for a single-axis tracker was better than the ROI for fixed panels.

> And they track over the day! not over the year.

This probably means it's a single-axis tracker, which points east in the sunrise and west in the sunset. To track over the year it would need a second (north-south) axis, but the ROI for that probably wasn't better than a single-axis tracker.

> Again, all that mechanism for so little gain.

A single-axis tracker isn't that complicated (and a single axis with a single motor can move a whole row of panels at once), so even if the gain is small, it can be more than enough to pay for the mechanism.
Because it's not constructive.
Their footprint for just their own services rivals some other public clouds.

"Make each program do one thing well"

The philosophy surrounding these tools wouldn't lend well to each implementing that. Fortunately `pv` exists, is perfect for this use-case, and included in many distributions. :)
It is a hot take for those that keep ignoring that are languages that offer both, automatic resource management, and low level primitives for performance coding.

Which is exactly one of the subjects on this podcast episode, adding such primitives to OCaml, beyond what it already supports.
I had to chuckle at the huge surface parking lot right next to it.
My understanding was that the issue stemmed from having the actual app. Or at least that would make sense to me. TikTok has been surrounded by controversies since the beginning - many western countries, not just the US.

I may be just crazy but providing geolocation and biometrics of 100M+ US citizens to Chinese government just does not seem like a good idea. Also keep in mind that TikTok has the ability to curate content you see. Social media in general have been found guilty of influencing elections.
I think it is probably because of the UNIX philosophy of the virtue of silence: 'The program should say nothing if it has nothing interesting to say'.

It is an open question whether progress is 'interesting' or not. My own opinion is that it is not interesting if the operation is nearly instantaneous. If any operation can take more than 5 seconds, it should have a progress bar and an estimated time of completion.

Earlier versions of Windows did this very well. Often these progress bars were a joke, but sometimes they were useful. It gave us valuable input on whether there is enough time to go get a cup of coffee, which as we all know, is the most important question for us all.
The right doesn't do those things at all.

Show HN: React 18 Node TypeScript ESM SSR project creator
I just have built this https://www.npmjs.com/package/hoosat-create. Has custom made API server on top of node which is similar to express. Uses renderToPipeableStream for SSR. The goal for me is not to build stack which has ton of features, but a fresh starting point for you to learn implementing everything yourself.

## Features
- Full-stack TypeScript application using React and Node HTTP/HTTPS.
- Working serverside seo with `react-helmet-async`
- Client side routes with `BrowserRouter`, server uses `StaticRouter`
- Supports ES modules for server-side and client-side ```.
- Configured with Webpack for production builds.
- Includes Jest for unit testing.
- Includes example components and routes for getting started.
- Includes HoosatUI as optional dependency as git submodule.
- `npx hoosat-create@latest submodule` for creating empty submodule.
- Template code: https://github.com/Hoosat-Oy/hoosat-template

## Give it a try:
```
npx hoosat-create@latest
```

Basically everything you need for basic project. E2E and such you can add yourself. What do you think?
Not a good look among the folks in Brussels.

You mean people committing crimes will also commit a crime to commit those crimes? I never thought of that. Such clever criminals.

The above statement is absurd right? I'm legitimately asking because I feel as though I must be missing something. Maybe it will stop a few folks and that is the victory? I think the new entries learning that the technology is working might be more numerous than the people who get stopped. Pedos read news don't they?
Whenever I use a system that does NOT have google as the default search, I change it to google. When it get's "accidently" changed back by an "upgrade" I change it back. The only people I know not doing that are elderly relatives who cannot learn how, and I do it for them every few months. The idea that defaults are important for market share (and not just as a way for people to intentionally piss off their own users) is outdated I am afraid.
There's a key relationship you're missing here. The closer a car is to humans, the slower it will drive. The slower it drives, the more important engine noise is.

A car going 50km/h+ is on some sort of a highway, where noise and pollution are less relevant. It's the cars going <50km/h on residential streets that cause problems.

Empirically, engine noise dominates then. The difference between ICEs and EVs passing by is staggeringly obvious.
Dandelion root coffee is good enough that I buy it on a regular basis. I'm very much into real coffee and I make espresso at home, but I like dandelion root coffee in the evening when I don't want more caffeine.

It doesn't taste like coffee, but it tastes good, and it's close enough in flavor to scratch the itch. Much better than carob or chicory. (Although chicory mixed in with coffee à la Café du Monde is great.)
As the summer period is finally here, the sun rises super early in the morning and sets late, around 8/9 pm. That is already outside my commuting schedule, if I may argue. :-)
almost. You don't have privacy in either case. Case in the article is the company is sharing data with US agencies only.

The only government doing the right thing on this front is France. They contribute and host their own Matrix instance for government use.

If you see countries like India, Brasil, Nigeria... They pretty much replaced their telephone infrastructure with Whatsapp. Like it or not, the telephone infra gives law enforcement access to all metadata, in some cases without a warrant, and allow wiretap with a warrant. Whatsapp gives both these powers to US agencies and not local ones. And thats what the UK have a problem with.
Mind sharing your statistics on hobby RasPi usage? It would be interesting to see just how many just sit in a drawer. If it's a ridiculous number you might change my opinion on this! :)
Well, the work wasn't necessarily for a commercial purpose on its own, but the combination of the work and the contract made it commercial, and this is the risk you run with any sort of "fanfiction" like this.

You have a lot of latitude to produce it for fun, but if you want to actually go to sell it into the same market as the original work, then there are problems.

At least in the US, people routinely spray dandelions with weed killer. So an argument could be made in favor of telling kids - especially in a classroom setting - where you'd rather err on the side of keeping kids from picking dandelions from any yard they pass by, and eating them.

I doubt we'd have ChatGPT in the first place if every developer had this attitude
Of course they don't, but if it's illegal then things get removed from app stores and the like, making it hard to actually install.

Obviously on Android there's sideloading, even on iOS to a lesser extent, but I think the idea is that if there's any technical hurdle required to overcome this limitation, then the bad people will be less likely to use the workarounds. Obviously some percentage of criminals will do these workarounds, and I suspect the lawmakers even know that, but I think the idea is that any percentage reduction of criminals being able hide stuff is positive.

To be 100% clear, I think this is a very bad proposal; I think E2E encryption is important and should be protected, not threatened, I'm just saying that the rationale isn't completely incompetent.

It actually isn't. You have to have a synchronizer, batchsize one or else "strange things" can happen and you waste a lot of cycles. Alternatively you can do non-simple changes to your network structure to enable distributed training.
Fire/ambulance/police are supposed to be exceptionally loud so they can get drivers attention and then they can get through. (I expect you know this already, but I'm making sure we're all on the same page.)

Over time cabins in vehicles have gotten more isolated with better sound systems. Outside has gotten generally louder. Both of these things mean the emergency sirens need to be even louder for it to get a drivers attention.

I'm not sure if it is because drivers don't hear/see them or if they just don't care anymore, but almost every time I see a firetruck with it's lights and sirens on lately, I see it have to come to a stop and wait, get on the even louder horn, before drivers start getting out of its way. This isn't down the whole length of the street or anything, just once or twice before it drives out of my view (several blocks). I don't think I ever saw in person this before 10 years ago.
Cars have ICE which are basically controlled explosions. How can that NOT be loud?
The shooter was Latino and was a white supremacist.

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/mauricio-garcia-wh...

> Thanks to Elon Musk, I found a Garcia post where he tells the story of a “PC” Jewish chemistry teacher who tried to reason Garcia out of his Hitler worship by insisting that he isn’t white but Hispanic. He repeatedly taunts the poor woman, greeting her by saying “white power”, “Final Solution”, and giving her Nazi salutes.

Musk thought he was being very clever because he thought ‘Latino white supremacist’ was like ‘square circle’. It’s not. You can keep insisting that it’s a contradictory concept, but we have an instance.

Ask HN: What real alternatives are there to Twitter?
Posting this with a throwaway account. I signed up to Twitter back in 2009 and never really used it much apart from the odd tweet here and there. Then I actually bought Musk's line on what Free Speech is https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1519036983137509376 on Twitter.

Over the past few months I've been increasingly disillusioned with British government policy and have taken to Twitter to contribute to the discourse there. I don't have a high follower count and don't care for one - but I did feel my views were suddenly being heard. It felt nice to feel 'not alone' with quite a few tweets getting decent numbers of likes and retweets.

Most of my tweets objected to government policy in certain areas and often linked to news articles contradicting official narratives. Some of my tweets were lightly humorous. I took care to avoid anything that may be illegal, hateful, distasteful, etc.

Then, a few days ago, I suddenly noticed my tweets and tweet replies were barely getting any views at all. And no likes at all. I suspected something was amiss. I checked Twitter without being logged in only to find my tweet replies had vanished from general view and my hashtags weren't even appearing in the 'Latest' section of Twitter. Everything I'd ever posted, hidden from general view.

In a recent blog post Twitter posted here https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2023/freedom-of-speech-not-reach-an-update-on-our-enforcement-philosophy about their 'Freedom of Speech, Not Reach' policy they go on to highlight how they might mark tweets with limited visibility but in my case my tweet replies are no longer shown at all, not even in the 'Show additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content' section. That is complete censorship with no warning that I'd ever done anything wrong. The blog post even says 'Authors will be able to submit feedback on the label if they think we incorrectly limited their Tweet’s visibility.' which isn't true in my case because there's absolutely no such notice on any of my tweets.

I know Twitter under Elon doesn't have a good rep. around here and perhaps I was wrong to give it a shot. But I am an advocate of free speech (not absolutely free speech, but I do believe its essential to be call out problems in society and government especially when there is a general clamp down on things such as protesting peacefully). So now as a disillusioned ex-Twitter blue subscriber (who's asked for a refund) I'm left reflecting...

My view is that quietly silencing views is quite far from any definition of transparency I recognise. And I would still like to have a voice, so more than ever I believe there should be an alternative to Twitter. So my question is, (aside from Mastodon which seems quite complicated), what alternatives are there? Who is building solutions in this space?

Read Sheehy's Passages. This has a complex answer that seems well-addressed in the comments: 0-10, parents usually cool, 11-22, parents usually annoying as hell, 23-40, broad range of feelings towards parents, 50-60, (re)appreciate parents.

Of course, 40+ can also be summed up as "damn, wish i had done X or Y or ...". Life is shorter than you realize and empathy is a valuable trait. If mistakes were made and you get the chance to remedy them, consider doing so. If you become a parent, do better.

Your comment has two separate arguments, if I'm not missing something:

1. rights do not exist outside of the constitution

2. freedom of speech is not enough as defined now.*

Regarding 1, you should propose where else would rights be defined and defended. Currently, the issue could be mitigated, if the constitution is opened for additions and closed for deletions. Not absolutely, but sufficiently close to discourage abuse.

Regarding freedom of speech, the issue is not the right itself, but the fact that matters of public debate happen on a few private properties. The right of property and personal liberty means that you cannot force someone to do your work for free, so if you want free public space, this space should be either provided by the government or it should be a shared public responsibility a.k.a distributed social network.

Browsers need a lot of updates. No way I'd want to touch a single line of code in a browser. Somehow, something is going to break and I'll have to screw with it at an inconvenient time no matter how clever my auto update script is.

There's lots of stuff I'd like to change, but I am not wading through the nightmare pile of code to add mdns browsing and SyncThing bookmark sync.

It's too bad most apps are getting rid of true scriptability. Browsers would be way better if you could just drop a python file in a folder and change stuff.

This is an uncharitable interpretation of the criticism. Several other programming paradigms also have subtyping, often more powerful than OOP, so people moving away from OOP are definitely doing some sort of subtyping in their own language and paradigm, unless they're going to some niche language... or Go.

OOP criticism is often centered around two things: inheritance and state hiding via encapsulation. And this criticism often comes also from programmers that use OOP. And IMO it is pretty fair.

The innovation with generative AI is fundamentally legal: they're copyright laundering systems. You put a few images (books, etc.) in, mix it around, and "poof" there disappears the copyright.

I think this largely accounts for when it will be useful. (And why companies will and will not use it).
