Also of note as another film using Van Gogh paintings: The "Crows", from 1990's Dreams movie by Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai, Yojimbo).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKSUpyENtwo

From wikipedia: "In "Crows", Vincent van Gogh is portrayed by American filmmaker Martin Scorsese.[8] The segment features Prelude No. 15 in D-flat major ("Raindrop") by Chopin. The visual effects for this segment were provided by George Lucas and his special effects group Industrial Light & Magic. Additionally, it is the only segment in the film wherein the characters do not speak Japanese, but instead English and French."
It's about cutting losses, at this point. Closing the dam gates doesn't mean you get the water back but it does mean new water doesn't get out.

That is, if it was about LLMs in the first place.

100% -- the only reason reddit might get away with such terrible behavior is if people have nowhere to go. :(
I think most people would agree that you should support the local version of a business over the financial district version because you want to keep people employed in your community, but at the same time I personally would rather support locally owned and operated restaurants over chains and franchises.

Businesses fail and are replaced with other businesses all the time, it's part of the normal flow of capitalism. Within a specific community, as businesses come and go, as long as the old one is replaced with a new one then employment opportunities are still around. Eventually something will open up that is a home run and then that store will flourish in the community, which will likely create even MORE employment opportunities and if it's a local store then a lot of that money will stay local in the hands of employees, owners, local government (taxes).
The past Windows and Android waves show that this is a great strategy if demand is really there.

When the mass market exists, multiple vendors will race to design competitive semiconductors, and even clunky UX will satisfy 90% of users. Windows 3.0 and Android 2.0 weren’t awesome in any sense. They were still good enough to surpass Apple’s sales in terms of units.
Limited Liability is a GREAT thing. It allows us to build businesses that serve society that we wouldn't otherwise. Would you start a company or invest in one if you could lose all your personal wealth? Few would.
Whether they are hired legally or illegally doesn't matter. Their mere existence in the state of Texas means that they pay state taxes. Texas doesn't have an income tax.

You can't live in Texas without paying sales tax. And you can't be housed in Texas without paying property tax (whether directly in the case or property ownership, or indirectly via rent).
The fact is that the government, like a bandit, says to a person: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat.

The government does not, indeed, waylay a person in a lonely place, spring upon them from the road side, and, holding a pistol to their head, proceed to rifle their pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful.

The bandit takes solely upon himself the responsibility, danger, and crime of his own act. He does not pretend that he has any rightful claim to your money, or that he intends to use it for your own benefit. He does not pretend to be anything but a robber. He has not acquired impudence enough to profess to be merely a “protector,” and that he takes people’s money against their will, merely to enable him to “protect” those infatuated travelers, who feel perfectly able to protect themselves, or do not appreciate his peculiar system of protection. He is too sensible a man to make such professions as these. Furthermore, having taken your money, he leaves you, as you wish him to do. He does not persist in following you on the road, against your will; assuming to be your rightful “sovereign,” on account of the “protection” he affords you. He does not keep “protecting” you, by commanding you to bow down and serve him; by requiring you to do this, and forbidding you to do that; by robbing you of more money as often as he finds it for his interest or pleasure to do so; and by branding you as a rebel, a traitor, and an enemy to your country, and shooting you down without mercy, if you dispute his authority, or resist his demands. He is too much of a gentleman to be guilty of such impostures, and insults, and villanies as these. In short, he does not, in addition to robbing you, attempt to make you either his dupe or his slave.

I agree. The big shark photo would be fine in a school library or classroom (especially if it helps younger users put volumes back in the correct place), but it’s completely out of place for a home library.

I remember the world book as having brown/beige with gold letters. It was a boring look that actually seemed to give it authority. The photo on the cover/spine makes it seem like it’s desperate for your attention. Almost like clickbait working it’s way into the analog world

Power delete suite can edit all your comments. It's what I use instead of deleting comments, since deleted comments are usually shown on sites that track deletions, but with edits, most sites don't save the old data.

The author is a designer who do many creative coding projects, he mentioned in an interview[1] back in 2011 that:

> I wrote this program that hooks up to a webcam. It takes a photo out the window every five minutes, and it will upload that to a server. The server then reads the sky portion of the photo, and it goes pixel by pixel. What it does is it takes all those values, the RGB values, and it averages them. So what you are seeing is not the dominant color in the sky it’s actually just the average color.

The problem is defining "these sorts of things". StackOverflow didn't do anything evil, they created a useful website and people flocked to it voluntarily.
Right, good point. I just find the structure and the mindset to be similar.
I co-developed Shuttle AI so if there are any questions more than happy to answer them.
he makes criticisms all the time though. I don't understand why people make these sorts of claims about people if they don't watch them.
Although I'm not exactly opposed to the archiving, I personally think this is a waste of bytes.

Reddit is not like a regular web forum. Posts/threads are designed to be short-lived and quickly forgotten. Because threads can't be bumped, many communities are a dumping ground of rehashed ideas, memes, sanctimony, and "im new here how do i get started". Many people like(d) Reddit because one can easily sign up, post some stuff anonymously, and not have it effectively hang around in the high consciousness of the internet.

Although there are niche subreddits with some good information in them, this doesn't mean that the vast-vast majority of Reddit posts reflect that quality. I can't say there's anything I've ever posted on Reddit that I've wanted to continue existing in perpetuity, and there's nothing I've ever read on there that I've wanted or expected to last forever.

IMO, the archive team should do what it's doing but keep the archive and stay out of the issue to give negative sentiment towards Reddit enough of a chance to create some actual change. I don't have much confidence said change will take place, but I don't think what the archive team has done here will do anything but subvert the energy to fight back against Reddit. Only when Reddit has been defeated should they expose their archive of Reddit posts.

Then again, the money needed to store Reddit links would be better spent on the archive team's legal budget right now.
> Supply and demand my friends. If you delete the supply, there’s no demand.

Not quite. Demand is independent of supply.
Likely you're thinking about StumbleUpon, which doesn't exist anymore
None of that addresses the need for there to be a platform level feature that does all that. None of what you described comes free with hand tracking.

Sure, it can track your hands. Maybe it can track the things in your hands and use them as “controllers” (once again, that would actually require Apple to provide that feature). But it certainly wouldn’t by default say “oh this user is using an Apple Watch in their right hand so whenever I need to vibrate that hand I’ll vibrate the watch”. That is fully and 100% something that Apple would need to provide. And given their stance of “hands are enough”, why would they ever provide those features out of the box? With no first party accessories to use it?

And, once again, this has nothing to do with Beat Saber being an exclusive or not. That is the topic of this thread, not this diatribe that will only ever be pure speculation for the next year and a half.

sounds like a lawsuit?
Yes, it is really normal when lots of people try to upload at the same time. Bandwidth is limited, so when lots of people start to run the warrior, the servers need some space to do their thing. Also, IA has limited bandwidth, so sometimes that's the bottleneck too.

If you give it time, it'll work eventually. Up the concurrency to max, so you can have more items in the upload state, as long as you don't start hitting rate limits from reddit, it'll be fine.
You hope that I fail?
Let's talk about Rampart!
While amperage is indeed a problem, PD 3.1 uses 48 volts to deliver 240W. https://www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd

That’s only 5 amps, but such a high-ish voltage is enough to lead to arcing. Charging cables are likely to require additional safety measures.
What? Really? You think they should merge with Rivian, a company that is severely in debt and producing cars at a loss. What do you think that buys them exactly? A traditional looking truck? They could have done that themselves.

A huge misstep? No. I think the cyber truck is hideous but there are millions of people who love it. They will not have trouble selling as many as they make.
Great ask. There's no reason devices couldn't negotiate lower power. With USB-PD, power sources offer Power Delivery Objects: different charge modes they can do. It's up to devices to pick.

Right now most devices pick the highest power option (that they can handle). For a variety of reasons, it would be super sweet if we could pick lower power options! Maybe it's a multi-device charger & you want to leave more capacity for other devices. Maybe you want to slow charge your battery to extend it's life.

Almost every usb-pd device can accept lower power options, if plugged into a charger which doesn't offer the maximum rate. The only thing missing today is software, is user control over the power delivery negotiation process. Very very achievable, with minimal effort.
True, but you're missing the point.

Forums were also dedicated to "mostly related" things (like a subreddit) and it was a bit of effort to create a new account on a different forum, and you were obviously new at that point.

So "brigading" and such weren't really much of an issue (and the issue has always been people barging into a community, knowing nothing about it, pontificating on some post/issue, and promptly leaving).

Forums still exist, but you need a slightly strange sort of person to continue to put the effort into them when Reddit is "free and easy".
USB-PD now supports 28, 36V & 48V as well because of the higher wattage limit[0] (240/48=5A which is about what the cables are rated for I believe)

[0]: https://www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd
I’m curious to see how that turns out for you
Will be interested to see if AllThingsOnePlace reviews it, as have been following their particularly in-depth power adapter reviews and their last review[1] of a Framework charger (a 60W model) showed it performed well both in efficiency and other metrics though not the highest performer or value in its wattage range.

Wouldn't ordinarily mention a Youtube channel on HN but felt their detailed testing, comparisons and teardowns would probably be of interest for the topic.

It's 48V.
No, it applies whether governments provide perfect value for money, zero value for money, or something in between. The question isn't how it's spent.

The question is: should we be of the mindset that companies that obey the rules as written are somehow not obeying the "real" rules, rather than putting the fault on the rule writers, whose only purpose is to write good rules, and who are part of the "extremely valuable services" we all pay for?
Not much would happen at all. Criminals don't endanger democracy, laws like this do.

Crime rates in countries similar to France are absurdly low compared to any other time in history. And that's ignoring the fact that the definition of "criminal" is also expanding very quickly. Why is that? We're also putting much fewer people in prison, so it's not like law enforcement is just catching more.

Crime that happens exclusively online is crime that law enforcement is the least apt to deal with, but not because of technology. Before the Internet, police very rarely caught scammers, and that's the bread and butter of online crime. The best line of defense against that is in the individual.

If you think all this is justified by terrorism then I beg to differ. Acts of terrorism in France are a response against the overwhelming power projection of NATO. It's the poor man's way of waging war. But what does it really accomplish? Not much at all, other than provide an excuse for authoritarian measures.

And finally, law enforcement doesn't need any technology to bag the obvious corruption, money laundering and fiscal evasion going on among the rich and connected. Those crimes are far more damaging as they eat away at the fabric of society. You don't need technology to deal with those however, you'd just need to be allowed to do something by the same masters that vote for this.
I think the loophole is that Airbnb is profiting massively by renting all of these properties, but each property owner individually is not making significant profits. I would guess the intention is to tax Airbnb appropriately as one of the biggest hotel services out there, without affecting actual independent BnBs.
It important conceptually to align "commons" with "new markets" because in practice they look the same with respect to consumption. Fishing is my favorite theoretical example here.

Assume you are a fisherman looking for fish in the ocean

To take an exploration "step" requires work: Acquiring a boat, acquiring fishing tools, having the energy to fish, having time to explore the ocean etc...

Once you find a cache of fish, then you switch to exploit by harvesting the fish from the cache

This assumes that the fish are not currently the property of someone else, and therefore it is "commons" or a "new market" until claimed by some entity with enough power to exclude others from consumption.

The problem is, information in new markets is sparse. By definition you cannot know prior to exploring it, what the size and scope of this fish cache is. However consumption starts PRIOR to the evaluation of the cache and what an appropriate sustainable exploitation rate is because doing so would assume something else: That there is an evaluation of a global optimum for that fish cache as a common resource.

Almost no organizations have the incentive to do the above, and history shows that most consumption orgs have narrow near term goals of maximum exploitation.

So the groups with the largest amount of energy to expend exploring and then exploiting (aka how much money do you have), will by default monopolize the resource.
The voting system is gamification of forum posting. Instead of posting when you feel you have something to say, people end up chasing a number for the dopamine hit.

Medical records are already aggregated by Big Tech companies - they are called “medical billing.”

Exactly! I can comment on a post and have real engagement with someone which hasn't happened in years on Twitter.
It sends a powerful message that this isn't "your space". But if employees won't even come in most of the time, why should they get "their space"?

I agree, hotdesking when you're in the office most of the time is horrible. But if you want to primarily WFH, I don't understand why you also think you should get nice office space at a second location. When you go to another location for work (e.g. a client if you are a consultant), you don't have a nice personalized desk.
> With easy and ready access to medical data we could be decades ahead of where we are today.

That's just bullshit.

Also, given the state of medical research methodology, you could just as well argue that it would yield even more unreliable studies, each adding confusion to our knowledge.
It makes sense that the easiest to implement would also be the easiest to learn. It's more shocking just how much harder every other option is.

I graduated from uni and all my jobs were 100% remote, and I don't really feel I had any serious problems in onboarding or advancing in my career at least yet :)

I'm not gonna pretend that every project had 100% coverage and up-to-date documentation, but you should overcome fear of appearing weak/dumb and just ask a question, not even waiting for the next daily meetup. If culture is good enough, people are gonna realize it isn't you dumb, but docs and processes suck ass and will do something about it, maybe even asking you to participate. If not, just leave when the next offer lines up, I did that once when people straight up refused answering to my questions directly, and instead nagging that I didn't ask them properly.

Building up network is obviously more reliable when meeting in person, but it doesn't defeat the idea of getting to know each other through daily interactions, retros, 1-1s, whatever. And moreover if you appear professional and capable in eyes of colleagues by getting shit done, they're would want at least keep in touch
Vision Pro might not be able to match 8K but based on the specifications it should be able to hit a level of pixel fidelity close to 4K with an IMAX sized screen. The vast majority of movies exist with only 2K digital masters available, with quite a lot of "4K" content being upscaled. This is the case even with new releases. My local cinema, a rather big chain, still has 2K projectors in the vast majority of their theaters. For film and TV content I don't see the resolution of the Vision Pro to be problem. For desktop use where screens are usually smaller I guess we'll see how close it gets, but even if it doesn't hit full 4K fidelity, ~1440p at ~32" inches is still plenty usable, particularly if desktop real estate is unlimited.

There were plenty of large format standard definition sets, they were just either way too big (CRTs) or rear projection (worse picture quality, which is saying something for 480i). DVD is SD and was a dominant format for a significant amount of time after the rapid rise of HD flatscreens. TVs got big because the technology allowed for it without requiring TVs to be installed via forklift or crane, not because people didn't want a big picture.

I've used a bunch of headsets too and it baffles me when people with plenty of time wearing these bricks can't extrapolate those experiences out, it doesn't require a whole lot of imagination. The Quest 2/Pro aren't cutting edge and their UI is jank, but even with the shitty passthrough it's pretty clear (to me at least) how virtual screens can be useful based on my experience with them.
That would be easier to do if all of the AirBnB hotel-alikes had signage indicating they were AirBnB. After all, I'm not going to report all parties I find objectionable to all of the house rental companies.
Maybe we wouldn't have had Reddit, but I was perfectly content going to multiple phpBB boards when I was younger to discuss my hobbies.

Reddit always felt like a place to take from since it got lots of people by being centralized, but not really a place to contribute to unless you were contributing to the group think aspect of the community.

Communities specifically set up for answering questions or R&D were in my opinion the only valuable communities. Figuring out things or learning from the huge number of users was helpful, but it was never a fun place to just talk about any of my interests.
You're making all kinds of assumptions about the people discussing this. Some of us have actual experience running large communities and this informs some of the statements you see people making here.

Whether or not you believe that the moderators are what makes reddit or that the users do so is only a subtle shift but it makes all the difference. If moderators flex their power they will stop being moderators because clearly the no longer seem to have the ordinary users interests at heart. This is why this is such a dumb play. You either have a 'batna' or you don't. Reddit holds the cards, and this is pretty much begging for them to show that they do so. Worse has happened and it never made a difference, as long as ordinary users aren't impacted to a degree that makes a difference to them things will stay as they are.

And a 'look at what you made me do' defense won't hold water, the users will blame the moderators because they can't get their fix, not reddit.

Reddit will die like every other community: through attrition, not because the moderators throw a fit over something that they may well see as important but which does not offend others.

Building vs. Buying Complexity: The Pleasure of Process
Correct.

I live outside of Boulder, and the folks getting on buses to Denver are doing so voluntarily with full knowledge.

There is this very very weird (and almost bigoted) infantilization of these economic migrants. To endure the journey they have gone on to get to and then cross the border, they have to be enterprising, brave, and smart. I would bet money that the average IQ of these folks is above that of a typical American. They have smartphones, they pay close attention to the news, and treating them like hapless idiots is silly, insulting, and ineffective.
