Which is insane, because it's the worst of all worlds. You still have to live within commuting distance of your workplace, with all the crazy housing prices and shitty traffic conditions that entails, but you still have all the coordination difficulties of WFH. "A good compromise leaves everybody mad" strikes again.
by that definition it is enough to pass through an AI generated image in an upscaling program and it is now not just only the prompt.

> after talking to 100s of marketers, we realised that modern B2C marketers needed to leverage billions of customer data points from the data warehouse to run personalised marketing campaigns

I like this. You learned one of the most important lessons quickly. Get customers first and then build what they need.

Update: I just watched your demo, this is really fantastic work. A couple suggestions: 1) your demo is a tad bit fast and showing a lot of content, so it makes me have to stop the video and rewind. you obviously know the product too well. 2) for dropdowns with only one item (there are a few of them in your demo), don't make people click on it, just select the item, by default.

ARM used to have the beautiful UMALL, a single instruction that would multiply two registers then accumulate two other values into the result, then store as a double word into the registers.

This is the inner loop of multiplication and was very nice to use, but died in the AArch64 transition.
Same here, I learned how to touch type years before I heard about Dvorak and found it very difficult to switch so I'm still using qwerty.
The problem with drug users is that they don't seem to be alarmed that others can't confirm the "profoundness" of their experiences from outside. They tend to discard the obvious explanation of their fascination: their own stupidity induced by drugs makes trivial things seem profound. E.g. the fact that the interpretation is broken.

Well that is just plain rude.
I meant if someone with airpods on comes to talk to me, I am reasonably sure they have transparency on or something like that.
Depending on the age of the kids, "homeschooling" often means "set them up with some books and a video playlist and check in every few hours." "Caring for elderly relatives" also often means no more interruptions than the number of coworkers who walk by your desk/cubicle and interrupt you on a daily basis.

I don't think one set of interruptions is inherently worse for productivity than another.

And honestly the most interruptive thing for me is meetings that could easily have been emails, so...
This makes no sense to me. Tech workers have way more flexibility than many other types of workers. If you aren't comfortable with your employers practices, go find another employer. No need for a union to do that.
It is, but really human sacrifice was the norm, not the exception, in preclassical ancient societies.
> he didn't give a shit about a woman actor

Why do you say his disregard for safety has something to do with the actor being a woman? He did not make any comparable movie in that time period, with that level of stunts, with a male actor. At best, you are just speculating that he would have been more careful if the lead was male.
Exactly. They're running a business. If they think they can get higher viewership by modifying the original, whether by recutting or censoring, that's their choice. If I want to watch the original or the edited version, that's my choice. In this case, as TFA points out, it appears there was an accident in which edit was put on the service.

The pearl clutching in the comments here is ridiculous. It's as if these monkey-fighting commenters have never seen a Monday to Friday TV edit.
This. A cheap lamp on a table does little good when I can afford neither the table, the roof above it, nor the food to serve at that table.
Without VPN, iOS doesn't have an ad blocker for in-app ads, like YouTube. And blockers for browsers is extremely poor, routinely failing to block ads. Then there are sites which detect ad blockers and flag them, prevent the site from being used without disabling the ad blocker on Safari/WebView.
I am not an expert, this is all just my opinion based on personal observations of family and friends and coworkers.

If the child is old enough to 'self study' as long as the adult is in the same building for legal reasons? Seems plausible.

For younger children, generally our society is insane and has it's values system maladjusted in favor of having useless worker drones rather than high quality citizens for the future.

However ignore the HOME-schooling part. Maybe their kids are in private or public school and the parent works during that time, answers emails for a couple hours on either side, but has flex time. THAT seems to be what's more commonly actually done.
I am left feeling awful about Money, Advertisement, False promises after modestly exploring this.

I also wanted to support financially - and after seeking to support, and encountering the misleading "ublock dot org" (called-out as unrelated on github.com/gorhill/ublock - where it claims Chris Aljoudi of CO seeks $$$ for gorhill's project) I feel terrible.

I'll let my feelings drive my action here, and not continue seeking to support.

Which human-hours created that capital?
It was a clearly false statement when they said it. Adobe added JPEG XL to its products. Along with them, Facebook, flickr, and a bunch of other services expressed their eagerness to support the new format (because it is vastly superior to all prior image format options). Google decided it conflicted with their competitor format AVIF and axed the experiment.
How Einstein made the biggest blunder of his life
> It's a very obvious attempt to spread the myth that reprocessing somehow magically makes the entire mass of SNF fissile and will magically make all the fission products go away.

I'm truly baffled as to how you reached this interpretation. Nobody, ever, suggested that reprocessing somehow made the entire mass of spent nuclear fuel fissile. The comment that called it "partially spent fuel" specifically mentioned getting the usable fissile material out (thus implying that there's other material that's not usable). I seriously doubt a significant portion of people reading this are reaching the conclusion that nuclear waste becomes a source of infinite energy.

There's no gaslighting here. I'm not going to assume it's bad faith, but here and in other comments you've shown a remarkable tendency vastly misinterpret comments and then accuse other contributors of being ignorant or acting in bad faith. So in the future, when you read something that appears to you to make an outlandish or blatantly false claim, I'd suggest you ask the commenters to clarify what they mean instead of calling them stupid and trying to refute claims that nobody ever made.
There are things that I consider problematic in old movies, but what if someone is curious about what was that era like, given that we have outgrown some blatant prejudices?
That's not a bad thing if you have fun and don't have the expectation of a product.
If you really think that leting people ”take their own risks as far as we are able" is the answer then I'd love to take my own risks by ignoring all traffic laws.

And if, as you claim, "the truth is a rare and delicate flower which we cannot reliably identify" then I'll even start a giant Simpsons-style tire fire in my backyard. Clearly it's unpossible to identify the hazards of such an enterprise.
First of all, pose. Secondly, different transfer functions. A wheel is a heavy physical thing that takes time to change. An accelerometer isn't, by design. The latter also redundantly measures acceleration direction rather than requiring it as an input. Thirdly, encoders don't always match accelerometers even in normal driving. Turns at intersections with tram tracks commonly cause these sorts of errors.

If you're worried about overreach of government control, i.e. what these books are actually about, there's a nice thread about Edward Snowden also currently on the front page. Apple, Criterion Collection, etc., have relatively little control over our day to day lives.
Don't forget blocklist maintainers. Their work is just as valuable as the actual adblocker — without them, it would be mostly useless. I checked mine and none of them seem to be accepting donations, but yours might.

I used to use Dvorak exclusively.

Now I use a mix of Dvorak some of the time and QWERTY some of the time.

I have a Dvorak layout for the ErgoDox EZ Shine keyboard, link to repo below. There’s a PDF linked from the reademe in the repo showing what my Dvorak layout looks like.

Great article on SVG vs. Canvas! It goes beyond the usual pros and cons and provides valuable insights. I lean towards SVG for its user advantages, but Canvas has its uses. Must-read for frontend devs! Kudos to the author!
I'm in the same boat, and I think the lack of commercial aspiration is a bit of a double-edged sword, because then its tough to balance the competing forces between developing features because they'd be fun to develop, developing features because they would be nice in the product, and developing something that people other than me would actually want to use.
Even if it's sufficient why settle for that? We should take advantage of the best or most practical technologies available.

Using Redundant Conditions to Unlock Indexes in MySQL
Even with a lease, it's still more expensive to have them in the office. Or, to put it another way, if it's just about money – it's still cheaper to shut down the offices and pay to have them sit vacant since that's a sunk cost.

I think most people who run companies are sociopaths who don't care about their employees. That being said, I think this is a situation where there's no hidden agenda... I think it's fine to disagree with their decision, but ultimately they genuinely believe it's better for the bottom line to have people in the same place.
Wow, what was the motivation for using this abnormal syntax for array element indexing? https://docs.fastgen.com/getting-started/variables#indexing-...
That is the most watered down version of the use of the word Revolt.

Lets call this what it is, the CEO attempts to change the culture top down and the employees complain but ultimately go along with it.
Tell all of my friends whose retirement funds dropped significantly as a result of this that they were fine.

In any civilized country, the government would have conditioned bailouts on the people at the top being fired and prosecuted. The business criminals specifically counted on a bailout, and they should have to pay for that with treasure, flesh, and time in prison, but instead of doing any of that, disincentivizing that behavior going forward, they instead encouraged it.

That crypto companies did not get that treatment is a function of them not being the cornerstone of the economy, just a bunch of middle-class and rich people getting fucked on the side.
We spit in the face of most movie makers. There's an entire industry based on face-spitting. We're under no obligation to them. A lot of forgotten films were brought out of obscurity by Mystery Science Theater/Rifftrax.

Me thinks you’ve watched too many armchair historian videos, actually. Carthage didn’t “cease to exist” lol what, you think the land was actually “salted”? Carthage became one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire, then became the capital of the Vandal Kingdom who later sacked Rome, famously.
> it’s documented that Snowden tried to go through official channels

Where is it documented?

> "The Committee further found no evidence that Snowden attempted to communicate concerns about the legality or morality of intelligence activities to any officials, senior or otherwise, during his time at either CIA or NSA.”
Yeah. I was going to point out https://camelcamelcamel.com which I've used religiously for years to gauge prices. Or https://isthereanydeal.com for video game prices (which thankfully don't spike that often but helps for assessing how deep a sale is).

Consumer empowerment is so wonderful. I was thinking yesterday about what a mystery it is that an auction site like ebay functions, that people would use it at all, without a tool to help them do silent auctioning/last minute bidding.

Would absolutely love for distributed layers to share & syndicate price and many other indicators to the world.
No corporation gets to take a moral high ground being amoral entities. But windows is pervasively spammy now - the start menu hosting ads was bad enough, but now it’s the task bar too. I’m trying to remember when I saw a cross sell in apples stuff - my memory is only when I’m in something like the TV app or the wallet, or some place where the cross sell is contextually relevant.

The more Microsoft and Google tilt towards becoming persistent privacy threats and advertising companies, the more apple will see it as a differentiator as a hardware company with software services to be the opposite. I’m good with that dynamic, but I think it’s useful to acknowledge that’s the case. Pretending windows isn’t a persistent adware spyware bundle doesn’t help the situation.
I see options to stream it on Amazon Prime, YouTube, Redbox (I think?), Vudu, and so on. Are these also all edited?

Watching videos while laying down without craning your neck or holding the device in an uncomfortable position has always seemed like an obvious VR use case to me. I also spend tons of time reading in bed, a headset could make that much more comfortable. Seems pretty obvious that having an extremely portable monitor is quite valuable.
Greetings! I really like your idea. I have been building a similar open source/non-commercial tool. I am essentially trying to build a solution to get me ready for a standardized Korean language exam. The format and UX of Giglish are extremely good, but I think there are a few places where you need to fine tune your prompts, at least for Korean language learning. I also wish there was a drill mode that is less open ended (I’ve seen an alternative tool that has a feature called “phrase pump”). I have a hard time keeping a conversation with an AI but love the idea that it can feed me quick prompts over and over again. This is ideal for someone who is studying a language and does not have easy access to native speakers. If you ever want to hop on a call to talk about ideas or get feedback I would be happy to provide it. My contact details are pretty easy to find.
This is very CCP-like..."Modern Sensitivity" is just a cover for the cultish "social harmony" seen in China where you get blacklisted via social scores, wiped off raster files and maps, re-edited, and imprisoned to protect this contrived harmony. It's the secular version of Sharia Law.
I hope your heating is more energy efficient than heating with electric light bulbs though!

Sure but something like Disney+ feels like the wrong direction. "Ah good more 2d content to watch in a fake theater while I'm sitting in front of my TV" I guess just isn't my jam when it comes to VR/AR. I want experiences and interesting uses not just another way to watch TV.
Wait until you realize that a lot of human sacrifice in the past had willing victims.

Willing being a bit of a stretch considering the entire society was conditioned to believe it was necessary.

Anyway, I’ll leave you with that and maybe you’ll go do some research on this topic.
As someone who works in the industry (disclaimer these are my own views and don't reflect those of my employer), something about the framing of this article rubs me the wrong way despite the fact that it's mostly on point. Yes it is true that different companies are choosing different sensing solutions based on cost and the ODD in which they must operate. But I think this last sentence just left a sour taste in my mouth "But the verdict is still out as to which is safer".

It is not an open question and I hate it when writers frame it this way. Camera only (specifically, monocular camera only) systems literally cannot be safer than ones with sensor fusion right now. This may change in the future at some point, but it's not a question right now it is a fact.

Setting aside comparisons to humans for a second (will get back to this), monocular cameras can only provide relative depth. You can guess the absolute depth with your neural net but the estimates are pretty garbage. Unfortunately, robots can't work/plan with this input. The way any typical robotics stack works is that it relies on an absolute/measured understanding of the world in order to make its plans.

That isn't to say that one day with sufficiently powerful ML and better representations we would be totally unable to use mono (relative) depth. People argue that humans don't really use our stereoscopic depth past ~10m or so and that's a fair point. But we also don't plan the way robots do. We don't require accurate measurements of distance and size. When you're squeezing your car into a parking spot you don't measure your car and then measure the spot to know if it'll fit. You just know. You just do it. And it's a guesstimate (so sometimes humans make mistakes and we hit stuff). Robots don't work this way (for now), so their sensors cannot work this way either (for now).
I love seeing companies blindly encoding massive URLs into QR codes that end up being ridiculously detailed images. Like they would be impossible to scan unless you were right up close with a good camera because the individual dots are so small.
I think it's too soon to see real data on this because the current leader in AI imagery is still quite limited in what it can produce. There are too many examples of stock photos where no combination of tokens is going to render a similar picture, there are still very prominent and noticeable limits on what AI can produce.

When creatives are seeking out a stock photo, they're not looking for a piece of generic clip-art to fill a void on a page. They're looking to satisfy far more prescriptive set of requirements, the sort of thing that should really be shot anew, but budgetary and timing constraints typically mean that a pre-shot photo will have to do.

As AI improves it'll make a bigger impact, even right now in its limited form, it's not looking good for junk-stock peddlers, which will disappoint absolutely no one.
Completely agree on his take. Generative AI perhaps might be good at certain, specific tasks in terms of pulling or summarizing information for an analyst, but it won't help predict markets. It'll be much better at helping aid in software where the problem is more deterministic.
Nope, Tor usually makes things worse.

Ask anyone who uses Tor for their day-to-day web browsing. They're often given additional CAPTCHAs and the like. Some sites block them entirely.

Tor might hide where you're coming from, but to any website, it's obvious you're connecting from Tor.
Give LLMs five more years and this won't be an issue. The fact that it even gets close is seriously impressive.

For people like me who aren't sysadmins, but simply have to do maintenance tasks on VPSes from time to time, something like this would be a godsend.
Some hypothetical reasons:

1. Playing games is one of the reasons to prefer a Windows laptop instead of a Mac.
2. The AR/VR headsets will need games to be successful, so they need to be more attractive to the gaming industry.
3. iPads are more powerful now. They support game controllers very well, and you can plug it into a big screen to play. However, most of the iPad games (except Divinity Original Sin 2) are scaled versions of iPhone games... game studios are not interested in porting games to the iPad.

While the porting kit announcement is about Macs, I think that the strategy is to make the whole Apple Silicon platform attractive for gaming.
Any other PM books you found had a significant impact on your role?
> Imagine a suite of ten hypothesis, one of which is correct but each of which requires 6 effort units to prove or disprove or discover or whatever. If we only have a 10 units of effort to devote to research, we won't get anywhere if we divide them equally but we can eliminate each hypothesis if we work serially.

A model of research without evidence demonstrating its accuracy is not convincing.

You might claim that we could never have discovered the Higgs without such coordinated efforts, and I could counter that without such coordination, we might have sooner discovered and advanced alternative paths that require considerably less funding and coordination, like wakefield accelerators.

I don't think science that advances by stepwise consensus will outperform random, independent search in general, but only in very limited scenarios.

> It is totally reasonable for a community to more or less work on proving or eliminating the few most reasonable hypotheses

Only if "the community" consists of largely independent thinkers that reach their own conclusions, and are not influenced by fads or celebrity personalities. That's the only way to actually ascertain "the most reasonable hypotheses", and unfortunately, scientists are not immune to such influences.
Probably the best reference is HN itself. Look at the dozens of GPGPU projects, articles, papers, etc that hit the front page in any given week. Then look to see how many of them support AMD/ROCm. Spoiler alert: virtually zero.

That's compelling enough to justify the position here but you can do further research to explore the challenges with other platforms (like ROCm). Just glance at issue trackers for Pytorch, Tensorflow, and higher level projects that (rarely) support ROCm - you will notice a clear trend. Even though CUDA is more capable and outnumbers AMD use 10:1 the issues reported currently are:

Pytorch

Search for ROCm - 2,557 issues open (~10% market share)

Search for CUDA - 5,430 issues open (at least 80% market share)

Even in the limited cases where it's attempted the capability and experience with AMD/ROCm is significantly worse, to the point of "almost no one even bothers anymore" (see my top paragraph).
> There's not even speaking time in language classes and it's been like this for decades.

That's not even the only issue. I took some strictly conversational classes for a while, but the problem is that it's one teacher with 5-10 students, so most of the speaking and conversing is done with people who suck as bad as you do at the language! The thing I really liked about your site (and just some of my own practicing that I've done with ChatGPT) is that I really get to converse with solely a dedicated "fluent" speaker.

Again, thanks and great job!
