The Reddit app is a worse experience than users currently have on mobile with 3rd parties. Reddit let this go on for years and has now decided, without warning, to make the product worse for a lot of users including myself.

I use Apollo to aimlessly scroll through Reddit (probably too much) and now I'll use that time to learn something and find other communities that are less disruptive.

There's a million ways Reddit could've gone that would've been less user hostile.

Kotlin's standard collection are "immutable collections" only in the sense that they are read-only. Adding an element to a Kotlin immutable set copies the whole thing,

https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/924c28507067cbfbf78...

This is not that different from Java unmodifiable. In contrast the Scala immutable Set supports constant time addition,

https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/collections-2.13/perfo...

This isn't just an ivory tower concern either. Because Kotlin immutables aren't actually immutable (they just don't expose mutation interfaces) this means that if I get a ref to an immutable Set, I can't modify it but I can't rely on it not changing because it's still back by a mutable one.

Proprietary language only available on proprietary platform with no source available. They say that:

But I'm not trusting "don't be evil" tag lines anymore.

So we'll see when they actually make something open enough that we can entrust our programming stacks to it.
Yes, it does offend the language hipster instinct in me too to have to add 8 lines of gradle to a turn on a build plugin.
> the land use is no serious problem,

Gotta love the complete double standard at play. The ridiculously small amount of land that needs to host radioactive material post use is a problem for people who hate nuclear but they never have any issue with huge swaths of lands being used for windmills and solar farms.
It's well konwn that megalomaniac's thrive on vacuums of power or meaning, but that's not the most important aspect of Curtis' message imo. For me, Curtis explores how power applies highly abstracted narratives in order to disguise its mechanisms - Soviet or capitalist realism, for example. His frequent trope is how things suddenly "don't make sense" to the general public, and this is when change occurs.

But this doesn't feel too relevent to the discussion of whether an organisation can operate effectively with a flat structure.
Now, will most other governments want/expect the same? It's also an interesting security challenge. I'd expect a leak from the UK government is more likely than a leak from OpenAI or DeepMind themselves.

I upvoted this, because the discussion is worth having.

However I couldn't be in more disagreement, even more than when I started reading it.

Yeah, it's definitely easy to convince ourselves that getting the latest and greatest is important or that availability of software trumps all else.

But do you know why I have 20year old rolling release installations of linux still running? Because there is quality control.

The reason that in 2004 I could reinstall Windows XP and all my drivers inside 25 minutes was because I had done it so freaking often. Windows of today is not significantly better, it's basically a CPU fighting pit of software that seeks to add their own special updaters and their own special UI subsystems and their own special tracking hardcoded with their own distributed libraries and eventually full of all kinds of disgusting nasty security holes.

I mean, it's less bad than all that, but Linux is usually a single command and the whole system is upgraded, with a QA approved, security patched and moderately vetted version of all the software you have selected. With no special jails or layers of indirection and linked to your system in a way that is at least moderately optimised for the intended design goal of the distro.

We should be aware of what we trade away when we decide that package managers don't work; because frankly linux users used to lord it all over windows and OSX users that they were the only ones with a hard won and working package manager for the whole OS.

For sure though: if I have to choose between running a docker container to run the hip and trendy version of `nc` or not having that software available... Then I choose not having that software available, because frankly speaking: those gatekeepers serve a purpose.
But isn't also the case you have so much control over the individual frames themselves anyway? Why draw the line where you are? Just based on how these things inherently work, I don't see the specificity problem getting solved anytime soon, short of making a whole new set of weights from some whole new cultural timeline of artistic output.

But its not an issue really! This is just what AI art is. It is something different from just painting: somewhat less and somewhat more in different dimensions. You trade in individual expression and authorship for bricolage and universality. That's cool, but it will always be "specific."

If you just want pretty anime girls or the like, you'd get a lot farther with dumber tools like motion-detection on spine-based animation anyway.
Lots of people are in the "if it doesn't drastically impact my day to day life it doesn't really exists", which is a perpetual "in 1-2 decade" cycle since we're quite good at adapting. "it's just a bit warmer", "the forest fires are just a bit closer", "the floods are just a bit closer", &c.

I think this is more a fantasy we Americans tell each other, but it isn't true if you actually look at how we live. Police rob, rape, and murder Americans with impunity. Corporations knowingly poison Americans while spending fortunes trying to hide that fact, and they get away with it (only having to surrender a small fraction of the money they made doing it). Still, the jails are filled to overflowing as America locks up more of her own so called "freedom loving" people than any other nation on planet. Americans are obsessed with punishment and we cheer while people are locked away and their lives are ruined. It doesn't matter what they did, or even if they did it.

We've got a government full of people nobody is happy with, and we're only given two parties to choose from anyway. Our constitution is a joke, with our most fundamental rights violated routinely. Fair and speedy trials are rare, while excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel & unusual punishments are commonplace. The fourth amendment is broken on a regular basis and while three letter agencies just ignore it and do whatever they want, police use things like parallel construction to side step our rights as a matter of policy. It's been a constant struggle to retain the first amendment in any way that matters, and the establishment clause may as well not even exist.

For all of our "Ain't no one gonna tell me what to do!" attitude there's very little protest about any of it and Americans pretty much shut up and roll over while they're taken advantage of and their rights are violated.

"the US is pretty much a proponent of an unfettered Internet." sounds nice, until you remember that even when clear corruption is discovered (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/05/biggest-isps-pai...) and assholes like Ajit Pai screw Americans we all just let it happen. America is a race to the bottom where we pay more and get less.

I wish Americans really did value freedom and resist authoritative control like we pretend it does. The closest we seem to get is a kind of ignorant belligerence. Americans will burn books and shun mask wearing while patting themselves on the back for being such independent rebels but we continue getting screwed over and over again where it actually matters without truck convoys rushing to fight oppression or mass protests in the streets.

I'm not accusing anyone, or blaming them for taking it on the chin. I'm just as guilty as anyone else there, but I do wish we'd stop pretending Americans cared about or valued things we clearly don't. I doubt we'll fix anything while we're busy pretending we're something we're not.

I could read half of them, it was detecting a face in the first Mechanical Girl, face detection probably prevents it from working, since it worked for most of the sceneries.
It also didn't work on any picture that extrapolated the boundaries of the qr code.

I tried with built-in camera app of my Samsung m21.

If anyone wants to use this, they should do a lot of testing first.

Edit: I also noticed that angle matters when scanning from certain monitors, the first qr code didn't work at first, but I noticed the top of the picture was too dark then I tried to hold the phone in the same angle as the screen and it worked.
It is interesting, I don't think a company based on a language can work. They need to open source the language and make money on something else. The best "something else" would be cloud services that find optimal ways to run the Mojo code (finding the right combinations of C/G/TPUs in some way). A closed source language with a licensing fee is never going to work.
No can't do it realtime. Each image would be about 20-60 seconds (depends on what you're doing with it)

Exactly, 99.999% accuracy (wrt. to zeroing HDDs) is not enough. And the stop-gap measure for the remaining 0.001% is to have a policy that mandates shredding HDDs.

I should have combined it with the details before and after it. It was more of an explanation of their motivations leading up to it, and a way to show what kind of stuff they made Lemmy to be able to post, rather than "they have personal beef and that's an important detail". But yeah you're right their personal beef isn't important.
Thank you for the informative links!! I've got some reading to do....
Why? Once a plane completely loses power, especially modern planes, there's no saving it because there's no longer physical linkages between the controls and the control surfaces. FDRs also have a limited amount of storage, about 25 hours, so once it's crashed you want as much data from before the crash as possible not a few hours of zero because the sensors don't have power to send data back.

A scientific consensus is significantly different than media opinion.

Second, there is no "debate" regarding efficacy of masks and limiting exposure via quarantining. Masking reduces the likelihood of contracting SARS from others, and staying home reduces the spread to others and strain on hospitals. Unsurprisingly, the people attempting to debate this typically had no medical background whatsoever.

Millions died in the US alone, and a non-trivial percentage of them would likely still be alive if our public officials did a better job of respecting the medical professionals and their recommendations.
I, as the moderator of my own Fediverse timeline, do not need to be kept "in check" by having a list of my blocks published anywhere. This, and I trust my admins enough to do a good moderating job without needing to look at the exact list of bans that they do.

Who is the entity that is supposed to keep mods/admins "in check"?
The obvious example is the Holocaust.

Violence (including mass shootings and church burnings) inspired by replacement theory and incelism.

Anti-vax beliefs led to more deaths due to COVID, and greater economic and systemic stress than otherwise would have occurred had a significant number of people afraid of adrenochrome harvesting and the New World Order not purposely undermined pandemic control efforts.

Currently the "groomer" conspiracy theories seem to be headed towards some mass cultural violence event towards trangender people, with politicians openly calling for the "elimination" of transgerism, but that remains to be seen.

But let's ask what atrocities have ever been prevented by conspiracy theories? None. QAnon has been more of a hindrance to efforts to combat child abuse and human trafficking than a benefit, and they were entirely focused on "decoding" the Podesta emails and "exposing" satanic rituals in the Democratic Party while Epstein was going about his business.

It should go without saying that none of the doomsday scenarios the COVID conspiracy theorists predicted came to pass. All they accomplished was making the pandemic worse. And no doubt the seeds of paranoia and mistrust they laid will make the next pandemic worse as well.

Hell, even MKUltra wasn't uncovered by conspiracy theorists - it was exposed by accident through an unrelated FOIA leak. NSA spying? The Simpsons did a bit about that before Snowden, but conspiracy theorists were going on about mind-control rays being beamed through televisions and mass hypnosis.

These people want the world to believe they are the the ones constantly telling truth to power, the only ones who can see the dark truths hidden behind the curtain, and they'll insist they are always right. But at best they only coincidentally appear to be right, in the same way as a stopped clock, and always in a way that does more harm than good.

You want to be careful about that. The last time a Norwegian got radicalized by US anti-woke discourse it ended extremely badly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Behring_Breivik (77 killed, 319 injured!)

His manifesto cited and occasionally simply plagiarized various anti-muslim UK and US sources. Even apparently the Unabomber.

A similar situation applied to the New Zealand mosque shooter.

It's an impossible counter-factual to run, but if he had never been exposed to US discourse and we remove all the US sources from the manifesto .. would his terrorist attack have happened?

Was excited about this as I've been looking to host my own DataDog substitute for aggregating logs, alerts, searches, metrics, etc. Wanted to give this a shot but unfortunately unlike Grafana Loki, which is more complicated, it does not have clear enough documentation, or at least I couldn't find out whether it had a collection agent, to easily ingest logs and metrics to submit to the system.

With DataDog they have an easy to install agent that runs and ingests log data and can also handle (somewhat) for duplications due to disruptions.

Based on the OpenObserve documentation one essentially has to curl the logs themselves to the web service to submit, standardize on fluentd or equivalent, or tie into one of the other providers / agents.

I'm sure it's possible and that one of the services/software they mention briefly provides for this hopefully so I don't have to create my own agent, or ensure all services have a central logger that curls.

Not every system is on Cloudwatch (Linode, etc), and in many cases I'd like to have different ways to ingest and manage all the different logs one may produce. AWS EC2, Lambda, Linode, etc. Was really hoping for an easy server setup, plus agent, API, etc. Also, for systems you want to observe and not modify, such as 3rd party systems, would be nice to have an easy to add agent as to not have to modify or take ownership of those processes.
Far from a Powermod, I'm a mod of a single tiny subreddit with <1,000 subscribers and took it private this morning (0800 UTC). I didn't advertise it on this site, but we agreed it was best to join the efforts.

Gee, I wonder how people worked before we had Zoom calls and we were all working in different locations across the country. Either people were really smart before, or we have become really dumb now.
> It's their perspective that matters for utility, not yours

Not sure I agree. What I said at the beginning was that *I’d* be just as happy with 100 million vs 500 million. Their utility only matters in that calculation to the extent it affects my utility.
It’s called price fixing: https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...
The canonical example is January 6th, in which a bunch of unarmed QAnon conspiracy theorists, along with embedded agent provocateurs from the FBI, committed the following atrocities:

1. Larped as a Viking
2. Stole a podium
3. Placed feet on a desk
4. Broke a window
5. Caused a woman, who was not in the same building, to cry

There were several other terrible acts committed by these evil people, but these were the most commonly cited ones. Sicknick's death was widely publicized at first, but then magically got blackholed later when it turned out that a group of QAnon-influenced platelets formed a blood clot that killed the poor patriot.

Fortunately for us, these evil insurrectionists were denied their due process rights for years, and our hallowed and beloved Congress members spent a full month of their valuable time on hearings to get to the bottom of this genocide.

January 6th: Never Again.
The thing is, that all these extremists are fighting for control, so what ends up happening, is that no one actually gets that much control. The result is kind of organic and chaotic.

Personally, I'd like to see a bit more control, but, to be honest, I have no idea what that would look like.
