That's not what the finetunig does. You don't get a honest version, just a no-filter version. But it may be no-filter in the same way a drunk guy at the bar is.

Also it's not like the training data itself is unbiased. If the training data happened to contain lots of flat earth texts, would you also want an honest version which applies that concept everywhere? This likely already happens in non-obvious ways.

I did not expect ARM would take so long to catch up with even the Apple M1 or the same core designs in the Apple A14. The Cortex X3 in the current flagship chip Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 still _just_ fails to match the Apple A14 (let alone the A15 and A16), perhaps this little design boost is finally enough to match it.

If Microsoft can get Qualcomm to implement some of the same chip tricks Apple pulled off for x86 emulation performance they can use it for a potentially somewhat compelling laptop package. It's a tough ask though, as Qualcomm seems mostly to just use pretty vanilla ARM designs. And I don't expect anyone but Microsoft to be interested in taking that plunge.
> Artists once again, never learning from the past and handing over their future to an abusive company that seeks rent on their ability to earn.

I think this is a little bit unfair and trivialises the problem. I know many artists who have to/had to use CC for their work because their clients or (mostly) employers consider it the industry standard.

I agree with the sentiment, fuck Adobe and decades of their parasitic practices, but the reality is not that black and white.

I think another problem was that Microsoft downplayed F#. They didn't support it in SSIS packages, or fully support it in MVC projects. Those were the main things I did back then.

Well, "engineer" means real maths/physics/chemistry applied to information systems. If not, it is "technician" (well, in my country). Most "engineers" actually work at a "technician" level.

Where a systems technician may get in trouble: accurate and proven floating point calculations and where it comes from (minimal polynomial, range reduction, etc), real understanding of the maths of cryptography. Proofs of common performant algorithms (ring buffers synchronized with atomic variables, unification,etc).
It may need a deep understanding of signal processing, depending on the field, etc etc.

But since everything was already put in boxes (libs), a systems technician can re-use mostly all of them: the set of skills required is no higher than high school level.

Basically, an engineer has a deeper undertanding of information systems, but work most of the time as a "technician", and has some background knowledge to help him/her ramp up on tricky stuff.
Just because they are against AI/ML regulation doesn't mean they are against environmental regulation.

Adobe has figured out how to charge a lot of Photoshop and likely will do the same for major additions to it. You can argue whether this is fair or right or that there are free atlerantives, but it is possible for Adobe and so they will do it.

I get your point, and i may be in the same case as you in a few years (my projector is brand new).

But that doesn't really disprove my point : when the legal streaming service is working fine, then it does have an immediate effect on pirated content consumption.

I thought that not being able to have access to all the content in the world would be a no-go, but i'm surprising myself preferring to watch legal content directly in two taps of the remote than having to search for the torrentz, the subtitles, download it, plug the computer to my projector, etc.

This came as a surprise to me.

The problem is not search, it's curation. Any system that accepts everything will be overrun with things you do not want (fakes, *very* illegal things), and so there needs to be some authority that determines what is allowed. At that point, you are centralized, and hosting a website doesn't significantly hurt you.

This is also the problem with all distributed social networks. In the end, your options are formal centralization, and informal centralization, because absolutely nobody wants to live in true decentralization.

Look up "stop and identify." You don't have to present any kind of documents if you're a citizen. You do have to identify yourself, and yes it's vaguely defined. Generally this means name and address. An ID will also provide this info.

If you're a professional artist who's invested years of effort in learning photoshop and it replaces "literal days of work" or you run company and it replaces "literal team members" $40-$100 a month is cheap.

If not you can use something cheaper - or use one of the 3rd party plugins. If the workflows become popular, the 3rd party plugins will get better.

Alternatives to every baseline feature they currently charge a premium for exist, but because its industry standard everyone has to pay them.

Plaid's Operation Scared Jamie Dimon–Then Won Him Over
Does the project "pull" data, or you need to send data somewhere?
That’s not so simple that we could reduce it to a number. Java is very close to C performance when you operate on primitives only. But it does have an overhead for objects and it can’t “hide” it as well as languages that have developer-control on stack allocation (List<Complex> will be an array of pointers in java, while it can be inlined values layed out sequentially in C/C++/Rust).

Also, which 10 years of CPU advancement do you mean? It is definitely not a linear graph, we have reached an almost plateau on single-core performance.

If you already pay for Adobe CC as many designers do, there's an opportunity cost to learning an entirely new system and workflow. Those are hours that can't be billed. The opportunity cost of switching would make sense if Adobe was charging 5x more for these features, but they're not.

At the end of the day, not everyone will need to "make" generative art. There will be plenty of it on Adobe Stock that clients will be fine with, especially once they see the hourly billing rates for custom generative art that requires multiple prompts to get right.
As a mentionned to someone else in the thread, i've realized that i was actually ok seeing less popular content straight from the remote control, than search for the top content in torrents.

Ease of use and guaranteed video & subtitles quality can compensate to some degree to not having access to all the content in the world.
Test names should reference the ticket for the bug or requirement they address, eg ABC-123
Although very few languages will allow names with hyphens, which is why I store all my tests in a dictionary with their ticket ID as the key and a list of functions as their value, and I reduce it for test runs. I guess if your language doesn’t offer first class functions you should just not bother with testing, or even coding for that matter.
Ask HN: Why is Kubernetes adoption so hard?
Posted this yesterday on Reddit and gathered some good information but curious what the folks of Hacker News would add to the list I put together on the three main reasons as to why adopting Kubernetes for organizations is challenging.

1. Provisioning and managing Kubernetes clusters through their lifecycle is difficult and grows in complexity as you scale. Managing Kubernetes upgrades, with API version deprecations or other small behavioral changes causing outages or lost cycles (Take Reddit for example)

2. Maintaining a Kubernetes YAML codebase for application development is error-prone and frequently untestable.

3. Existing tooling is powerful, but lacks enterprise-grade features. Tools do not integrate well with each other and still require manual integration with the rest of the Kubernetes stack.
There is many search engine that use the DHT to retrieve the metadata and share torrent via the magnet. The main issue here is not the tech, it's the trust and discoverability/curating and also not spreading the seeding capabilities.

When downloading from "reputable torrent tracker XYZ" you can trust the quality of the torrent, that it is virus free, etc ... It is also usually make searching for particular torrent easier (less like searching for a nail in a hay stack) and you avoid spreading the seeding potential to hundreds of similar torrents.

As a extreme example, BakaBT (a private torrent for anime/manga related torrent) has a strict "no duplicate torrent" policy. This means that if you are searching for the OST of a specific show, you will have usually only one result and it's the most up-to-date, highest quality version. Since it is the only option, everyone seed this one. It really diminish the issue of abandoned torrents. To "replace" and existing torrent, you have to provide a strictly better version.

A decentralized torrent search engine could not do that. The real value of torrent tracker are the community.

That is also why decentralized software like eMule/eDonkey lost a lot of popularity to torrent tracker: Lots of duplication, very dodgy download, no curation, virus, ....

You keep acting like AGI is just going to be some other program. And yes, we do not have AGI yet. No planning, no continuous chain of thinking/learning at this point. But thinking that anti-virus would have a chance in hell again AGI is pretty weak when AV tends to fall apart pretty quick with a human behind the computer. Again, thinking of this as an application and not an adversary would be an incredible mistake. Taking out global adversaries that attack over the internet is near impossible, especially if they have shelter in an enemies foreign country. And this isn't going to be like a human where you kill the leader and it stops. People would be harboring copies for the lulz.

>unclear why anyone would pay for such massive CPU overkill in the first place.

It's also unclear why companies like Google have tens of thousands of engineers at times, but if the application produces useful results, and it's corporate masters think they'll make more profit from it then the operating costs they will gladly keep pouring coal in the furnace for it. And then in military applications one side will make more powerful AI because they fear the other side will make a more powerful AI and get an advantage. I mean we already spend billions of dollars a year upkeeping enough nuclear weapons to flash fry most of the population on earth.

Big yes to this. One of the things I noticed at a client that was using it, and growing, was that multiple people not directly involved in development had a lot of visibility in to developer-focused boards. Those folks were using numbers and info we were recording, taking them largely out of context, and making strategic decisions from those.

One of my big bug bears is 'story points'. In general, I don't like them - the effort involved in accurately getting them "right" usually takes longer than just doing some of the work (not always, but a non-trivial number greater than 0).

Over time, our 'story points' and 'velocity' numbers came to mean a lot of different things to a lot of other people. We had 5 different parties who would routinely check those numbers, and often interject their own questions, call for more meetings, etc. And 99% of it was just... useless. After more talking, I'm realizing that parties A, B, C, D and E all are using the same number (story points in this case) for different purposes, sometimes vastly different.

To counter some people getting upset at seeing certain numbers go up or down too much (or too fast or too slow), sometimes numbers would be changed midway through a sprint. And, sometimes things would be added or removed from tickets mid sprint. These may be unavoidable in some cases - I get it - but the changes weren't at all related to helping the front-line workers get work done. The changes were done to make someone's sprint report numbers acceptable to someone else who asked for these reports. Neither of these parties were ever in meetings with any of us.

In the spirit of cooperation, I suggested we add some more custom fields to track the actual numbers they wanted to track (one of the things Jira does well is letting you add more data collection points). Rather than overload and use one piece of data for multiple purposes (which not everyone was aware of), why not just capture more data, to get more accurate/complete data? "Too confusing. That's too much work for you all". What they meant was "I don't know how to make new reports with this info, and I couldn't compare current data historically against old data, so we'll just keep doing this half-assed thing".
Wouldn't something like this actually be great at breaking up clots?

That's a common misconception and I'm not surprised it made it into Wikipedia. Moore's 1965 paper was the first time anybody had pointed out the exponential nature of progress in miniaturizing transistors and packing more of them on the same integrated circuit. But it wasn't until 1975 a the same conference where Dennard presented his scaling laws that the phrase "Moore's Law" was coined in an interview where someone was trying to explain Dennard scaling to a reporter. The original coining was ambiguous as to whether it meant more transistors, faster transistors, or smaller transistors and that ambiguity remained in its usage because from 1975 until about 2005 they all went together just as Dennard said they would.

And my lecture notes from a class I took on semiconductor physics in college had a photo copy of a memo from Moore himself endorsing this broader conception of Moore's Law.
