So you haven't seen how a real communist party label opposing voices as not-a-speech? They literally do that. You'd think the problem is in their arbitrary mislabeling, not the selective application of freedom, sure, it isn't a problem at all so long you're the chooser.
A lot of people seem to agree that "the end justifies the means" with his charitable acts. That's what rubs people off imo. Imagine a porn star making vids to give to charity. Would people give equal praise to her?

This kind of attention-seeking is considered too easy, and too easy is usually not considered ethical. I wonder how many will imitate his deeds?

Whether it has capabilities here or not, it seems like it would be challenging at a $3500 price point to say "and here's features you get if you buy one for each member of your family".

Within an app, the challenge would be identifying they occupy the same space and mapping into the same coordinate system. Easier for VR mode than AR mode, where your mapping can be pretty arbitrary to the available bounds.
Go back and look at the predictions for the next decade made at the start of 2020[1], none of them seriously mention Covid, there were only a few "there will be a plague somewhere" near misses of the thousand+ predictions.

Thus, HN doesn't seem to be a good predictive tool.

It is, however, a great source of wisdom and analysis.

If I'm being honest, a lot of people in this TPOT community fail at the things that normal people just absolutely master naturally. Like, this guy, if I recall was all about sensitivity and understanding and all that shit and then got married and divorced for exactly the things that, had he succeeded at the things he talked so much about, he wouldn't have had any trouble with. Ultimately, it's better if you don't learn how to read from the illiterate.

The reality of life is that the people who talk the most about basic things are often those who have found greatest difficulty with them. Sometimes this is because they are thinking about them at a deep level. Other times, perhaps more often, it's because they are unable to penetrate the shallowest of surfaces.

You'll see this with all of these TPOT and TPOT-adjacent posters: they will claim to be renegades and say the most mundane things, claim to be empaths and find themselves unable to understand or be understood, claim to be makers and doers unlike those who only say and yet produce nothing of significance but blog posts.

This isn't to disparage them, but perhaps there is a reason blowing up their lives leads to happiness. And perhaps that is the tool they should use. I would, perhaps, even recommend that everyone in TPOT should use that tool for the betterment of their selves.

Not because it's a good tool in general but, sometimes, the local maximum you found is actually an anthill at the bottom of a well, and the rest of humanity is standing at ground level, and God and Nature have conspired to hand you only two tools: a heavy metal plate with dynamite at the bottom, and bones and flesh strong enough to withstand the upward acceleration.
They are visible to programs, for example if you run `ls -a` you will see them on macOS too. I reckon they're only transparent to Finder (where you can't see them even if you're showing hidden files).

I agree. This is absurd. A reddit clone is a few hours work. The technology is not the difficult part, and they haven't even done it?

Anyway the idea as a whole is stupid, because the problem with reddit is not its CEO but its entire design. It was an interesting idea, but it has failed. People are upset because third party mobile apps will be gone, but the site as a whole was far better before the influx of phoneposters anyway! Phoneposting is fundamentally incompatible with text beyond a couple of sentences. Phoneposters want - and get - short, easily consumed memes, photos, and videos.e They post short, easily consumed, low-value comments. Phoneposters have turned reddit from "the front page of the internet" into a site dominated by screenshots of tweets.

Yeah that 48 hour limit really was a misstep.

There were a handful of times today I wanted to research something and hit the private wall, surprising me each time.

It showed me that if this protest was indefinite, it could have a real impact on the platform. Yet, on Wednesday all will be back to normal.

I'm also very skeptical of something like this - it's the Twitter effect: people will complain all they like, but at the end of the day - Twitter and Reddit are where people are and will remain. As for the Digg comparison, tolerance for corporate greed in the services we use has skyrocketed in the past 13 years, so I dont think it's an apt comparison.

Yes -- if you are concerned about coinbase losing this deal you should be moving all assets (coins, dollars, ...) out.
That makes sense. Thanks for that. If unselfish means that I can't benefit in addition to you benefiting I don't think I see altruism as a super positive thing.

Turns into "he gave up his last dollar for that person!" which is seen as a super altruistic thing to do, but now, not only does that person only have a dollar, you've taken yourself out of the game and can no longer do any more good in the world because you don't have any resources left.

I dunno, my parents didn't let me watch The Simpsons when I was a kid. Sure, there was occasionally talk about the latest episode at the lunch table, but it wasn't a big deal, and I turned out ok. One of my closest childhood friends watched it, and we're still friends now, 25+ years later... he's never held my lack of Simpsons knowledge against me.

I think the idea that "parents won't let kids watch X" is somehow damaging to a kid's social health is a bit silly.

There's whole classes of software that just don't make sense on Wayland. Most DAWs won't work because the whole point of a DAW is "be a big box that hosts docked windows of out-of-process audio plugins" which just isn't a concept Wayland has; the only way it would work would be to have Reaper or Ardour or whatever be its own compositor. Maybe somebody some day will write a "libsubcompositor" or something; IDK.
I love the idea that recreating Reddit is a job that anybody could do with $10-20 mil to throw at engineering, as if the reason for its success is that it’s some sort of software marvel and not the fact that it’s the website with the people on it.

Your article is behind a pay wall, so it can conveniently not be checked. But your quoted line suggests they got no help from the military not that they weren't there.

There is no promise there, I understand the distinction might be hard to notice for someone who doesn't speak English as a first language.

The point is to control domains in a ccTLD. Arbitrary domain hijacking is bad...

There's other arguments in favour of government programs though. For one, a lot of the wealth that's generated in a country is due to the collective historical effort of the people which is summed up in the state (for americans, the "government").

So taxation is simply the United States of America, or Norway, or Sweden, taking back some of the resources of the "now" that have been generated thanks to the collective effort of the "past".

Also, there is actual research on the effectiveness of government programs (such as food stamps for example) in increasing quality of life of children who grow up on these; compared to those who grow up without those. In reality, children don't choose where they are born, and as much as it is the parent's job to raise them it is not the child's fault to not have gotten responsible parents.

So, in reality, tax payers shouldn't be doing charity. Why would they? If charity is needed then the government is obviously not collecting enough or allocating resources efficiently. I would very much say that charity is a systemic failure, and philanthropy is usually spear headed by the very same people who argue against universalist measures such as higher taxation. Why would a billionaire know where resources are needed better than the government, who has much more data on people to properly know where money should go.

So, in my opinion, it's really easy to argue against philanthropy and in favour of government programs. I mean, there's a lot of data out there.
So much of how difficult suffering is comes from how we relate to it. I have one close relative diagnosed with incurable cancer, just one year after we lost his wife to another type of cancer, after a difficult 2 years long fight. I learned a lot about relating to death and suffering in the process. I am very influenced by buddhist thought, and used to be of the idea that the beat way to react to a relatives death was to meditate on the lack of independent reality of the self, and on the inevitability of death. I also used to think that the "skillful" reaction would be equanimity, total and calm acceptance of what happened. But when trying it, it felt very wrong. What changes a lot is to learn to accept the suffering, and learn to relate to it from a position of humility and openness. What I found is that, if suffering sometimes lessens in the process, it does not need to be, and even when it stays stable or grows, the shift in perspective can be incredibly freeing. For instance, one might feel powerless and angry at the world that made a relative sick, and at the medical system that failed to give an appointment on time and thus allowed the cancer to grow too much, etc. Just trying to be equanimous, to "letting it go", to see it as delusion feels very disrespectful and unhelpful. But by opening to it, sometimes the pain and anger are not "my" anger anymore, but universal love expressing itself through me, an expression of something bigger.

Here is some material that guided me through this process:

"A Buddhist grief observed" by Guy Newland. Pretty much describes the confusion I describe above.

"Being with dying" from Joan Halifax. Here, it is a buddhist hospice worker who explains how Buddhist teachings help her in her relation with the dying.

Finally, the teachings of Rob Burbea. He was a buddhiat teacher whom we lost in 2019 to cancer, and whose philosophy shifted over the years from a very interesting take on insight meditation towards a spirituality of reenchantment and meaning searching/making. Hearing his latest talks, which he was recording for hours from his bedroom between chemotherapy sessions, where he describes how he relates to his own dying is incredibly inspiring (and I am pretty much in love with the whole of his teachings).

not letting your kids watch saturday morning cartoons because you find them to be annoying seems pretty dickish and seems like it has an extremely asymmetric possible negative long run consequence.

you're talking about it to this very day in a way that seems like you can't wait to enforce these rules on your own children.

i can't recall a single thing my parents did along these lines. this is just not how they operated - by just laying down restriction after restriction. seems kind of shitty, honestly.

also my parents didn't teach me how to sit in front of a computer for 20 hours until i got a program to compile without errors. did they MAKE you do stuff like that? lol in fact i remember my parents complaining that i was wasting time on the internet.

joke's on them though, now they spend all their time glued to their devices.
How many people left Digg for Reddit all those years ago? If the same number left Reddit today, nobody would even notice. Digg was a very niche website. So was Reddit. The migration was large only relative to their then-tiny populations.

You could build a platform the size of early Reddit from people unhappy with these changes. You could probably build a platform 10x the size of early Reddit. Very likely larger than HN, certainly bigger than Lobste.rs or Tildes. But you aren't going to do to Reddit what Reddit did to Digg.

But why would they decide this? Since Heroin is, again, illegal.
> As I type this, there is no scrollbar on my screen because Firefox no longer does that.

If you’re using Linux: blame GNOME for this; in GTK 3 and 4, they actively removed your ability to get non-overlay scrollbars without each individual app manually supporting the concept. So there’s no global switch or anything like on macOS or Windows. Firefox has a setting “Always show scrollbars”, but precious little other GTK software will support non-overlay scrollbars in any way.
I suspect that so many do it because it's so often repeated and taught that it works; but they figured out it works when looking at the whole of youtube videos, which percentage wise, is mostly targeted to a younger, less mature audience, and the content is made to match. When a channel's target audience is a similar demographic to the "average youtube viewer," it works very well. But I'd wager it doesn't work very well when the target audience doesn't match the average youtube viewer. I'd love to know if the people that measured and promote these bright, astonished-face, click-bait thumbnails ever bothered to test their effectiveness with different target demographics. My guess would be no.

I really wish the people making videos on subjects like science/physics, engineering, woodworking, etc... would stop putting thumbnails and titles on their work that target an audience that isn't going to care/enjoy/understand the subject of the video. And maybe even keep some of the intended audience away.
Not sure if this is something that scales with the current number of users, but the moderation quality appeared to be better before some of these powerful tools.

For example, things like automatically banning based on activity in other subs is not necessary a power that improves the site.

I suspect many of the more disappointing echo chamber effects (that steer something like a local subreddit into a political one) are due to over-moderation.
From the paper:

> In this work, we present the first text-to-image diffusion model that generates an image on mobile
devices in less than 2 seconds. To achieve this, we mainly focus on improving the slow inference speed
of the UNet and reducing the number of necessary denoising steps.

As a layman, it's impressive and surprising that there's so much room for optimization here, given the number of hands on folks in the OSS space.

> We propose a novel evolving training framework to obtain an efficient UNet that performs better
than the original Stable Diffusion v1.52 while being significantly faster. We also introduce a data
distillation pipeline to compress and accelerate the image decoder.

Pretty impressive.
Clean out any dust then kill the app that's hogging your CPU.
It doesn't mean that companies can't be licensed. It just means that they will move out of the USA (to another country that has strong financial infrastructure but sane securities laws like the UK), get licensed there, and exclude US customers from their platforms.

Coinbase and a16z have already publicly stated that they have plans to set up international arms to hedge against US regulatory risk.

So your statement "then you can't be licensed, simple", comes with the corollary of "the USA's strong fintech industry may move entirely offshore within the next decade." If everyone is cool with that, then yeah, go ahead and blanket ban all US residents from trading any financial instrument that's recorded on a public digital ledger.

Mr. Beast's philanthropy is specifically enabled by his audience (sponsors contribute to the philanthropy in exchange for short ads), his videos bring awareness to the issue he is donating to, and his philanthropy is amplified by viewers donating their own money in kind to the cause. None of these things could happen (neither the large donations nor the awareness nor the amplification by ordinary viewers) without making the videos. I don't see how you can conclude that a gift only made possible by this process (thousands of people regaining their sight) is not altruistic merely because some ancient books said you have to be quiet about your donations.
Yes, as we were able to download the database for CoCCA's web application (from the box.com backups) for any of the ccTLDs managed by CoCCA, we could decrypt the admin hash and then login to the CoCCA administration panel and modify/transfer any domain inside a ccTLD's zone.
I'm sure Intel and AMD heavily regret their neglect of OpenCL since the rise of LLMs and stable diffusion.

Pure text->image is impossible to get exactly, given there's 10000 possibilities for a dog. Even if text prompts eliminate 99.9% of probabilities, it there's still 10 possible images.

However, with stuff like controlnet, it's already possible, and will be solved within a year. Yes you can specify every exact detail, but you need to feed it a sketch, or a skeletal pose, or a reference image of the dog...

Also, you can train a LORA on the subject before hand, if you want to consistently regenerate the subject, with just text.
