I’m glad you were here to explain this to me like I was a child!

But you have contradicted yourself. My “investment” (a strange thing to call my home but if you are more comfortable using your weird language constructs, so be it) is not being devalued for “arbitrary reasons” under your plan. Instead, it would be systematically torpedoed using the same old combination of the political system plus my money, with the additional kicker of some of the value of my home.

No, sir, what you are considering is not an arbitrary reason why my investment might decline, but a concerted political effort to shift the value of my home away from me.

Proposal: you should remain living in Europe and I will hope that your plan is successful where you live.
I thought about posting Bowdler. I decided it was too far over the ledge.
I'm not sure how far that support even goes. There's one page on the wiki which claims that "A 64-bit GNU/Hurd is also coming soon", but all of the downloadable images are 32-bit only, and Git history suggests that it's still a work in progress.
Seems obvious to me that we have a dire situation here that is inarguably no less important than COVID was, and yet for COVID we were willing to take drastic steps, curtail civil liberties, etc, but for climate change we do the absolute bare minimum. And this isn’t just the elites nor doing anything - a few weeks ago someone on this forum mentioned that they didn’t go on a European vacation because he didn’t want to contribute to climate change and I posted a comment thanking him for adopting that mindset and this was likely my most downvoted comment on HN with the consensus being that I am off my meds to even suggest that individuals should play a role in the solution, when “we all know it is just the mega corps doing this”.

The fact is, we all need to be more hand-wavy about this in terms of drastically different personal decisions AND mega corps need to change their ways (which happens when people refuse to work for them and refuse to buy their products and services) AND governments need to take COVID-like action to limit civil liberties and force change. We need to throw everything we’ve got at this, but instead we’ll do the bare minimum and pretend like the heat and pollution only affects other people.
Thankfully we’re starting to see a larger variety down here in Southern California. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality and availability of sours and stouts in the last few years
bro there is a crazy high amount of bugs on your site.
When you can tell me what the best model available is I'll do that. But as an ML researcher, I can't even tell you that. There is no best, but there are "better at certain tasks."
If I understand it correctly, the HSM on the HDD dying is about as likely as a HDD PCB failure. Of course in these scenarios you can't just swap the PCB's to recover the data, but in an Enterprise setting you would have mitigated this anyways, by using a form of redundant storage. If you rely on just one drive for your data's continued existence, you're doomed anyways.

> Anyone who connects an ethereum wallet to their account will also have a (non-invasive) "Tip" option at the bottom of their comment, allowing anyone to directly tip commenters cryptocurrency (no middleman taking a cut here), offering a financial incentive.

Other commenters have said many of the things that came to mind, so I'll leave the discussions in those threads.

One thing I haven't seen discussed yet - what financial incentive do you have in mind here? Given the rest of your post I'd assume you want to incentivize quality comments, but it's not clear to me why this scheme would do so as opposed to popularity/snark/one-liners/etc. It feels a bit similar to Reddit awards - spending money to give something of ~value to the commenter - and I'm not very confident those have done much, if anything, to incentivize quality comments on Reddit.
From zero to semantic search embedding model
The point of input in any case is that you are going to validate it and then process it. Any input that isn't validated should not be trusted, even in the most benign scenarios and triply so in security relevant contexts.

Someone specifies the `null` algorithm? Reject the token outright, someone's trying fudge things. Someone specifies the `blahwhatever` algorithm that you actually trust yourself. Sure, try that algorithm, if results come back valid, all is good. Results come back bad? Reject the input without trying any of the other 19 algorithms you support and trust on the input.

As you can see here, the purpose of the field is to make it easy to validate the token without having to try all the algorithms that you might support. If you support 20 algorithms for something, you don't want to have to try all of them. But you do have to know which algorithms you trust. It's really not different from an SSL negotiation. You know which algorithms you accept/support, the other side knows what algorithms it accepts/supports. If you can't find one both of you support: tough luck!

Thanks for the clarification dang
I have an idea for you to try - instead of training a model to produce subsequent animation frames (which is tough), instead, take a model trained on pixel art sprites in general, and then use a ControlNet with the input to the ControlNet being either a pose model or a higher res 3d model of a generic dummy character made in blender - and then generate output frame by frame, keeping the input prompting the same, but moving the ControlNet input frame by frame.

Something like how this posing works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiG_v61cLxI

To get it down to small pixeled 'sprite' scale, the right thing may be to actually output 'realistic' character animation frames this way, and then 'de-res' them via img2img into pixel art. The whole pipeline could be automated so that your only inputs are a single set of varied walking/posing/jumping control net poses and the prompts describing the characters.
forgot to mention the most obvious one from that time.. millions of regular people against the Viet Nam war, and that war did not stop. Those ten years turned many ordinary US citizens into cynics, and gave fuel to the more extreme stories that were passed around.
YMMV...video drivers (esp 3rd party) are one of the things that still mange take the whole machine out for me.

> Spoilers: you don’t. Scrollbars work without CSS.

No, they don't, because web browsers have been busy removing scrollbars as much as possible. As I type this, there is no scrollbar on my screen because Firefox no longer does that. For a moment, I thought maybe FF still showed at least 1 pixel of the scrollbar, but I scraped it off with my fingernail and it turned out to be a cat hair. The scrollbar appears only for like a second before 'helpfully' fading out, and is a few pixels wide (on a 4k portrait monitor where I'm not exactly hurting for space). Chromium still has a semi-reasonable scrollbar, but I can't vouch for the official Google Chrome. Safari and Mac OS/iOS have, of course, been years ahead of everyone else in the wonderful pro-user innovation of 'hiding scrollbars and making them a pixel wide if absolutely forced to display one'.

> ...This is why Apple introduced a preference to always show scroll bars...Windows followed this path blazed by Apple

Yes, a preference to go back to the old standard behavior, which in designer-speak means "we done f-ked up, but we hate real users and love the sleek minimalist appearance https://asktog.com/atc/the-third-user/ more, so this is our way to get our users to shut up". And 'blazed', in this case, is 'lit on fire many decades of hard-earned UI experience'.

> As an aside, I set the operating systems I use to always show scroll bars.

Which is why you should support custom CSS scollbars to negate browsers & OSes hiding them.
They also need a better name. "Pixelfed" is not something that non-tech people will think they need.

Here is only one such brutal squeeze: registered security brokers must maintain control of all securities [0]. In practice, this means brokers use custodians[1]. Regulators have been working on making holding crypto harder for custodians [2].

You can say Stanford. It’s ok.
Are you going to Gab levels of defense? Their stance has been "if it is legal speech in the US, then it is allowed on the platform" is one that grates many people the wrong way. It allows for blatant racism, science denial, questioning of hallowed institutions, holocaust denial, and so on.
Super resolution algorithms are not image enhancement.
If these levels were used in a game I was playing, they would not certainly not stand out to me as AI generated. It's possible if I was specifically asked to try to figure out if they were AI then I would succeed, but even that I'm not sure of.
I have more than a little background in programming, and I love Perl. But I definitely consider it 90% write-only. The remaining 10% are mostly libraries.

You can write clean, maintainable code in Perl, but the language simply isn't designed for that, it has other priorities. The whole "there is more than one way to do it" thing is obviously not how you get consistent code, first class regexes which are one of the biggest strengths of Perl are notoriously hard to read, and the "ugly" options tend to be the easiest to use. It is all great for getting stuff done quickly and efficiently, not so much for maintainable code.

Languages that favor readability will typically try to go towards the "one true way" of doing things, use more descriptive words in standard libraries, have an annoying "bondage and discipline" compiler, etc... Perl has little discipline built-in, so it has to come from the programmer, don't expect it to guide you to the cleanest way, but you can expect it to help you write everything in one line.
Maybe I'm overestimating how difficult it is. Especially if it's a separate craft, then yeah, it could basically just be a cylinder.
This comes up at least once a month on HN.

Drug and medical patents have at least some moral claim to virtue (don't come at me on that one). Whenever you see an op-ed about how patents are so valuable, those are always the poster children.

It's never software patents, because absolutely no one but lawyers thinks those are a good thing. But they're subject to the same laws as the "good" patents (whatever you think those are).

So the solution is clear: Congress must legislate that software is not patentable subject matter. We can do this.
There's little point of rehashing things a 6th time, but I'll leave this for people who come back later and ever read this:

> then you are going to have negatively priced electricity coming from renewables. This is the most obvious and most irrefutable point here.

Solar and wind do not have negative electricity rates. Negative electricity rates are caused by a fixed/hard to ramp down source (nuclear/coal/gas) whose electricity is not needed. These plant cannot be turned on and off quickly ebnough to not produce this excess electricity, and because the grid must remain balanced (all the production must be immediately met by demand) they have to pay people to take the electricity off their hands because it's the cheapest option for them.

Solar and wind you can simply turn off, they do not have to pay peopel to take excess energy off their hands since they can simply choose not to make it.

Adding solar and wind will cause negative rates to occur, but it is not the solar and wind that are paying those negative values, it is the gas/coal/nuclear.

If you are buying electricity at a negative rate you are helping out a fossil fuel plant (or if your lucky a nuclear one).

> it will lead to practically free hydrogen.

Nope. Equipment still has a cost, no matter how many times you ignore it.

As for who is fixated, and/or brainwashed. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
Because the Vision Pro has to be fitted to each individual (both in software and, for those wearing glasses, in hardware), would it be feasible to create a “cinema”, where you buy a few dozen to a hundred of these devices and let a group of people watch such a movie together?

If so, would it be economically viable? What could one charge for such an experience?
Not related to the original topic, but now Hyper-V supports GPU virtualization. E.g. guest Windows 10 (starting from some build) can see and use host GPU.
As an option, to rank items, you can use the amount of money that the item has earned instead of just the number of upvotes. You can even replace upvotes number in the UI as well. This way frequent meme-upvoters will have less sway over more picky users. It'd be easier to register astroturfing accounts and to promote something to the top, though.
I think the idea is to prevent downloading malware in the first place, not to hamper it while it's running.
Fire Spez. Pay the people making the good apps to actually maintain their apps and keep up with the site's improvements, so there are multiple good apps, not just one crappy one. If they need money, there are already ads on reddit, charge more for the ads!

Don't fuck over the user base! Your users are what makes a site like reddit good! Don't they know that? Trim the fat (middle-management usually). Get out of the cloud if you're hosting servers in the cloud, move things on-prem. The cloud is great for flexibility, but for cost-savings, on-prem will always win. Whoever is the upper-management that approved the whole "charge for API use" - fire that guy too.

(rant) Too many websites have had upper-management take over and immediately change things that bring the site to its knees. This happens time and time again with new management. They think that they can bring some new life and revenue into the site and in the process, they cripple the product. It happened to evernote, dropbox, tons of great, cheap/free services that "couldn't support the freemium model anymore" so they cut cheap/free access to the product and people just went somewhere else. That's exactly what's happening now. (/rant)

> Amazon AWS: is container virtualization

Well, if you rent containers, you get containers. If you rent bare-metal machines, you get bare metal machines. So I don't see how this assertion makes any sense.

The CMU article skims around the names but call containers "virtual runtime environment" instead of straight "virtualization". But by that definition everything in any modern computer is "virtualized" because it runs over Virtual Memory.
You could make a nice living covertly selling the AI "startups" to wealthy folk who just want bragging rights about being founders.
I think your Note at the end betrays your misunderstanding of the situation. There are people who make it essentially their full time job to fill out junk patents and see what they can get approved. They are paying USPTO fees to make this happen. They then use the portfolio so built to extort actual practitioners, or they sell/trade portfolio items to other trolls. There was never any startup dream involved

>Well I talk to my family and friends about woke culture, we all know exactly what each other is talking about.

I'm guessing you have very similar views.

> You asserting that the thing we're talking about doesn't exist is just you being a bigot.

Look bud, you don't need to have an emotional reaction to this. I'm not saying you can't call things you don't like 'woke', I'm just saying its intellectual gibberish. It's a fill in word that only means you don't like something. It has no larger meaning or even a static definition.

The idea that just talking about something means it exists is the level of thought I'd associate with people who also buy into the idea that 'woke culture' exists.

>Basing ones understanding of the world on lived experience is the only way humans learn anything.

That is astoundingly untrue. Like painfully untrue.

This is a great article, but I take issue with the "character matters" section. Blakey was a notorious heroin addict and was known for introducing his young sidemen to the drug. A lot of the stories are here: https://www.organissimo.org/forum/topic/80777-whats-the-deal...

From the thread:

Jamil Nasser told me (re: Dan's interview and the junkie question); when the band went on the road, Blakey stocked up with dope ahead of time. So the typical situation was - they are in some town, middle of nowhere; everybody is strung out and desperate. So Blakey says, 'let me go out and see what I can find' - he comes back with the stuff he already had, marks it up about 10 times, says, 'well, this was all I could get but it's pretty expensive." He takes their "share" out of the gig money, they go home with nothing, he takes all the cash.
It links to the actual journal article (which can be read for free).

On looking at that, it seems likely the phys.org article doesn't specify because neither does the journal article. It just says that some of the genes are relevant to immune function or lipid metabolism, not what the differences imply for those things. It also mentions other things the identified genes relate to (mostly a nonspecific "development"), again without specifying what tangible differences might result beyond mentioning "developmental disorders".
It's been a long time since I used it, and I've read that there was a messed version change since then. So take it with a pinch of salt.

Drupal had a very nice hybrid of forum and wiki, it was called "book" IIRC. It was possible to organize the pages in a hierarchy and at the same time it provided discussion in every node.

Being modular and open source, you could add the import thing. I've been working in importing stuff for a while so maybe I see it easier than it is. The community features were very good, with a nice permissions system.
A vehicle tax that's a function of purchase price, age, height and weight of the car.
They encourage everyone else to patent everything that could be possibly be approved, regardless of value or intention to use in the business, as a defensive measure. This is the literal policy of every big tech company I've ever worked for.
Here’s my lukewarm take: I think we’re not taking seriously enough a world where there is no replacement. What if not just these platforms, but also the specific forms of internet interaction they represent, just die?

People will interpret the end of Reddit as damage and route around it.

What if I charge at home?
This brings back memory of one of the first BBSs I ever joined. It was a tech support/news/sales channel for a local computer store. It was fairly heavily moderated, but still, it had a small community. At some point, the moderation stopped, and the community flourished. It also, for some insane reason, had an upload area that would cycle files on its own, which because a great source of games.

I only meet one person from it IRL, and that was the moderator that vanished one day. And I only meet him when he sold a fancy modem and told me about the BBS being a great way to test it out.

I eventually moved away, but still dialed in (with long distance, even) and felt like I knew people online, if only via pseudonym. One day it all died. No doubt either the PC it was running on finally died, or someone said "what's this computer in the corner do, anyway?"

I sometimes still miss TechBBS.
> The SEC just can't imagine a world where customers are fine without their 'protection'. We don't want your help, we don't need your help. GO away.

This is all well and good until you mess up the economic system for the rest of us. The Great Depression didn't just hit those with stock certificates. And the Great Recession didn't just hit those with mortgage-backed securities.
how about this example: twitter would silence and deplatform some guy using the oh so terrible "n-word" ("because sticks and stones may..." is not a thing anymore). Now because this person is deplatformed, I cannot find his "hatespeech" when doing a quick background check, so I hire him in my company as responsible for recruiting. Now he makes sure no "n-words" get employed.

big win? whomever votes to silence the guy gets to judge.
> just wrappers around existing technology.

I don't understand how anyone can take this obviously super-biased articles from someone who has made it their career to hate anything crypto-related seriously. It's full of personal jabs and bias like "my guess is that it’s going to involve a lot of PR stunts and headline-grabbing"

It's obvious that there is zero incentive here to do any real reporting or research. It's just clickbaity headlines and statements appealing to people who hate crypto. Of course it's hidden under a veil of neutrality with a biased selection of links that nobody actually clicks on scattered throughout the article.
Ultra-orthodox prefer large families but their preference isn't by subsidize. Subsidize helped in Israel because there are already people who prefer large families with less money, but it's not the case in many developed worlds.

Remember that ideas are dime a dozen, the execution is what really matters.

There's unlikely to be a gold rush of quickly monetizing half baked stuff this time.
I don't disagree that most of the warnings perpetuated are probably part of a publicity stunt (or hype men).

However there is a fair chance we will reach super-human autonomous actors in the next 50-100 years, and if we fail to align them very closely to human values it would be an extreme risk to all life.

The point is that currently there is effectively zero effort put into (AI Safety research) an existential risk we can actually see coming. It may not happen at all (we could stop progressing compute efficiency/density before then) but trajectories suggest it will eventually.

For a more nuanced discussion of the actual risks I recommend watching/listening to the ML Street Talk w/ Robert Miles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMLKbhY0ji0
