> Text-to-image diffusion models can create stunning images from natural language descriptions that rival the work of professional artists and photographers.

I’m all for the continued advance of diffusion models.

If this paper offered evidence of quantitative and qualities measurement techniques for determining human preference for art or photos based on a prompt, I’d get it the phrasing.

But having the first sentence essentially spurn professional creatives seems to unnecessarily fan the flames.

AI image generation does bother some creatives, and there are real reasons for this given the many models that have been trained using long practiced work.

Keep up with the science, but don’t forget the tact!

There was a time when they made sense, but it's been many years since the benefits of running a third party antivirus program outweighed the drawbacks.
If devs write and maintain their own IAC then Pulumi is a good choice since they can write it in a familiar language.

If however a dedicated devops team has to manage it eventually, and there are multiple dev teams who all use different languages, then Terraform is better, since it’s practically impossible to learn all these languages. Terraform will give you a dumbed down enough lingua franca.

Also Terraform gives you the advantage to keep code complexity to a minimum. No chance to find some “clever” self referencing function or other language specific crazy stuff to solve a problem in it, it forces you to keep it simple.
Here’s what I found: if you’re in need to monitor your productivity and implement productivity hacks, then you’re not working on something really meaningful to you.
I think this might have to do with sugar being more expensive.

Today sugary drinks are associated with poverty, lack of self-control, lack of education. Champagne is a status signaling drink, you don't want to signal that.
It would also require that (almost)all the existing fediverse services be redone from scratch because each of them owns the underlying ActivityPub actor (that represents a user) and are unable to work with one coming from a third party.

Ya, point is Mr Beast bootstrapped the revenue to be able to perform acts of charity.
Interesting. Do you remember which version (or approximate year) you're referring to?

I've recently been writing my first real app for Mac OS 9, using C++ (MacZoop framework) and Codewarrior Pro 5 on a G4. There's some features I miss from my modern developer environment (decent version control!), but other than that it's been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Certainly I've had no stability issues at all with the IDE.
Yeah, TextMate was great. I think it was the very intuitive way in which you could quickly extend it.

Find yourself typing this thing over and over? Just create a snippet, the interface is just very few clicks away.

Need a bit more power? Turn it into a command, and use whatever scripting language you’re comfortable with.

Want to change the color scheme? Here is a nice declarative way to select precisely the syntax elements you want.

(I think part of this was that they had a bunch of short videos on their site showing you how to do this, and then a well-written documentation to accompany it for the details.)

Sadly, with TextMate 2.0, the interface for these things got quite a bit clunkier, and then I left. (I also discovered my preference for modal editing.)
>While in Europe, folks would just chat me up at random whereas

I'm European and been to several other European countries (well mostly the German speaking ones) and never been chatted up by strangers. Maybe you're only in the largest capital cities/big metro areas and are from a country that's seen as exotic over here as not many from there move here (Mexico, US, Canada, New Zeeland, etc) so the locals were curious why you're there and wanted to practice their English with you, because that never happened to me when I was a solo traveler or an immigrant here probably because I'm from a neighboring country that's known so nobody is curious. I had the exact opposite experience in the US, people would randomly chat me up or be very open when I was chatting them up, even had a fling on vacation there.

So your European vacation experience doesn't really match mine at all of living here long term. People here also seem very reserved of being approached by foreigners they don't know. I mean, if you're an interesting character they might do some small talk with you to be polite and get to know you, but that's as far as the interaction goes, then they go back to their drinks/friends, they won't be your friends. These bar interactions aren't a reliable way to socialize and make friends, it's just single use superficial interactions that last the night, as explained in Fight Club. And judging by the posts on local subreddits, I'm not the only expat struggling with loneliness in the German speaking parts of Europe.
That's right, I don't have an account, I just read it, I would love to be able to comment on lobste.rs but I don't have anybody to invite me :'(
Yeah, this is the main problem. The offensive shibboleths you can train yourself to ignore, but there’s no getting around filtering past hundreds of low effort comments per insightful one.
I'd much rather perform my acts of charity publicly for the same reason I like open source coding: to get feedback so I can do it better.

Anonymous charity is more often than not even more a road towards satisfying a selfish need. It elevates the sense that what you're doing is more just because it is anonymous so "surely I can't be doing it to make a show of it" except this perverse thinking often leads to elevating one's own desire to feel righteous above, y'know... Actual proof that the charity works and does any good. Doing it anonymously also means you avoid any criticism so you get to safeguard the selfish narrative in your head that you're a good person because nobody can point out any flaws in your charity acts.

I'd trust someone who is public about their altruism and opens it to criticism any day of the week more than someone who hides it. I trust people who are public about their charity and respond and change based on valid criticism the most.
Having/using a temporary escape from otherwise unbearable misery is unfavourable for one's chances of finding and working towards a proper escape, so that's a dubious positive.

"Degradation" or "crippling" are some that come to mind. My issue is less that it's vulgar and more that I think it's going to read in the near future the way people calling everything they liked "teh secks" years ago online reads now.
I believe the point is that if you're unhappy with the default scrollbar, you should get rid of it altogether rather than torture it into doing something it's not meant to do.

Having done e.g. an endless scroll application, the scrollbar was unfit for our use, no matter what we did. The right solution was to remove scrollbar and implement our own scrolling mechanism.
This is about cashflow. Consistent cashflow at that. To achieve that everything needs some sort of subscription model. Rent is the subscription model for housing. These consistent cashflows then can be bundled into some sort of financial products and sold to investors -- something similar to the financial products during the 2008 crash. Just that now instead of interest payments which might crash, rents can be stabilized. Even if things go wrong equity is still protected due to the house.

Not the parent, but: in that case you and I agree to disagree: any weird encryption algorithm is the usage of mathematics which should not be patentable in my opinion.

The simplest solution in my mind is simply abolishing patents. Just as e.g. the COVID vaccines were developed using public funds, there is enough ‘protection’ in things like trade secrets (‘recipe of coca cola’) or copyright/-left (‘GPL’ or ‘iOS’) to keep us innovative enough.

>There’s no visual indication that there’s more content present in this window

Not only that. There is a clear indicator that there isn't more content, since the last row isn't filled. Only, there is, but one of the rows has randomly been truncated for some reason?
It's a valid point. Although I think most of these templating languages are probably Turing complete anyway. We should make better use of Turing limited languages.

I think reinventing the wheel every time a for loop is needed in a resource spec makes things unnecessarily tedious for everyone.
Thanks for your advice, it's very meaningful to me to get any sort of guidance on this issue. Management isn't something I've ever really considered. A large part of me has always wanted to "stick my hands in the mud", and truly be one of the people that "built something". Not to denigrate managers in any way, they absolutely are important and contribute to a project, but they work at a level I never really wanted to. I suppose I should give it a try though, and see if I like it.

I do know that I am not very good at leadership stuff, from how my yearlong project in my university has gone. I don't quite understand politics or people much in general, and on top of that, I don't really get how to efficiently distribute work, maintain a big picture view of a project, or steer things in general.

If you want to be alcohol free, then just don't have another drink.

Now try to add the recent French law allowing remote access to vulnerable devices, Tesla employees who share videos recorded by someone else cars etc and think about a thing: the meaning is simple private companies have such possibility.

The cure is simple: software WITH ANYTHING AROUND (toolchains, docs, interfaces for the hw etc) must be open by law. So government in Democracies if Citizens allow that can potentially do something accepted by the majority BUT there are no black box on sale.

Secondly remember a thing: if someone can do something, anyone potentially can, anyone means also the enemy of the one doing something in the first place.
A Turkish source pissed off because Biden recognised the historical facts and existence of the Armenian genocide, I'm sure that's completely and totally unbiased. And still, nothing to refute that Russia is a genocidal terrorist state, right?

Apart from the genocide against Native Americans, the rest are just highly deadly wars with civilian casualties. In no other scenario was the goal of American intervention/occupation/invasion to annihilate a group of people, which is a necessary qualifier from the Genocide convention for something to be considered a genocide:

> In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with
intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as
such

Source: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

Which is why the Armenian Genocide is a genocide. The Turkish government, mostly led by some of the most incompetent people to walk this planet, blamed Armenians for their own incompetence, and ordered and enticed forced marches, massacres, etc. Nothing new for the barbaric Ottoman regime, after all this was done numerous times against practically all peoples occupied by the Ottomans, only this time ot was on such a scale that most Armenians were murdered (estimates vary, between 800,000 and 1.5 million, out of a pre-war population of between 1.1 and 2.1 million people).
Can't blame them entirely. Competition drives down costs, and the cost is very close to free (or some of your data), or else it's some whale indirectly paying for others. Richer get richer, and some are shocked when they are priced out of big ticket items.
> It would be absurdly burdensome and expensive for the government to have to advise people on how to follow the law when they're not following the law.

Isn't this the exact same burden it would be for that person to hire a lawyer? All it would do is require the government to internalize the cost of regulatory compliance, which would increase efficiency by aligning the incentives of the government with reducing compliance costs.

> If you're not sure how to follow the law, get an expert in the law! That's why there's a regulated profession that explicitly provides expert advice on following the law.

Except that they don't actually have the authority to tell you if you're following the law. If you hire a lawyer and they tell you that the law is ambiguous and there isn't any relevant caselaw yet, you still have no idea if you're following the law or not. Meanwhile no one with the authority to make a binding determination will give you an answer.
You become a competent engineer by making sure that you understand cause and effects.

If you are currently not able to identify the cause for a small effect, start with something really small.

Maybe something like hello world.

What happens when that program runs? Who reads the file? Who compiles it? How does the processor run it? How does the output come back and get printed to the screen? These are the chain of thoughts that you need to go through.

Great programmers are built through only one path that is trial and error.

By trying new things and seeing what happens. After you have been burnt enough number of times because you followed something which other people said was good, maybe clean code or maybe React JS for example, only after that will you become a great developer.
Cory Doctorow[1] came up with a catchy way of talking about a ubiquitous phenomenon that didn't have a word to describe it before, I'm not too surprised it rapidly became successful.

And I hope you're right and it will be embarassing to read in the future, because it would mean this trend of user-hostile behavior has stopped, but I'm not holding my breath.

You could make them pay for it.

Also there is potential fine revenue.

But for big enough companies, some amount of taxpayer-paid analysis makes sense. It ultimately benefits consumers.

> When you are socially underdeveloped, the strange sheep, the sightly bullied, the not-taken seriously, well it’s not so bad to go twice around the globe a few years and come back.

Being someone who has the odd combination of seeing problems everywhere and yet willing to take risks, it was great for me to do so and break out of my cycle/neighbourhood/city and do things nobody in my family (and extended family) bothered to do. Some things spectacularly failed and left scars that will last a lifetime but taking those risks brought me to places/experiences and gave me a life radically different from my peers in my school/family/background. Its not radical as in taking war time photos as a profession and volunteering for UN between projects, but, sufficiently different from what most people back home are doing.

The trick is to take risks that you have thought about and are convinced about; so even when they don't work out, you are not cursing yourself that you did something you were not 100% willing to do.
I wish my company would adopt this philosophy. We seem to just add features when people ask for them, and it really starts to show after a while.
The E-Prescription for Germany
The reason Gensler probably didn't want to say anything publicly: Ethereum is legally a bit of mess and should have clearly been classified as a security when it ICOed, but the SEC kind of dropped the ball. Gensler knows this, the Coinbase lawyers know this and the congressman asking probably also knew that Ethereum was in a bit of a grey area. Honestly, crypto folks should be happy that SEC is taking a "don't ask, don't tell" approach with Ethereum. This is how Matt Levine put it:

"Some of them did securities offerings, but by the time the SEC noticed they were too entrenched and decentralized and it would have been a pain for the SEC to go after them. Ethereum, most notably, very very clearly did an ICO in 2014, raising about $18.3 million by selling ETH tokens. If they did that today, or in late 2017, the SEC would have some serious questions. But by the time the SEC got around to cracking down on ICOs in 2017, Ethereum was big and decentralized and the SEC would have had a hard time, practically and legally, challenging its 2014 ICO. And so everyone sort of grudgingly concedes that ETH is not a security."

Look at the research done by psychotherapists in the 1970s, there is a web of connections between Alexander Shulgin, the Boston Group, and a few psychotherapists of the time before MDMA was banned. It was quite promising at the time, unfortunately the War on Drugs completely destroyed those advances for the past 40 years.

So the question is not so much "does it fix something?" as it's been already answered at the time, the question is more "how to be the most effective with this type of treatment" which more research is needed for. PTSD seems to be a prime candidate for the effects of MDMA, if you've ever taken MDMA recreationally you understand how the openness it enables to talk about your feelings could be therapeutically used, what's needed to be honed down is the method to do it clinically consistently.

It's not so much a problem of the yeast and attenuation. Nottingham should be fine up to 14% and for a high gravity beer somewhere above 75% attenuation.

The issue is yield and lautering. The mash is so thick, or rather there's so much of it, that proceses need to be adjusted to account for that, and from experience yields are much lower in a typical entry level craft brewing system (400L).
I've always hated the social porn aspect of altruism. On one hand, you're doing a good thing by giving something of your own to someone in need, but on the other hand, you're using the publicity to boost your public image. I understand why people say the good side trumps the negatives, but to me it's just off. Watch Drake's music video for the song "God's Plan" and ask yourself if it's heartwarmingly nice, or social porn in the name of making Drake look good.
Generally the technique is to be wrong about something and then get the vibe for the territory from people correcting you. I've found it's really helped me focus on where the innovation is being done and to stay on top of a very quickly moving field. Obviously YMMV, using 4chan is a skill.

To give a concrete example, a few months ago I was trying to parse through what's necessary to train LoRAs and how best to format a dataset for doing so. Google/Youtube/Reddit weren't giving me good results, and asking on 4chan I was pretty immediately linked a lengthy rentry that had a setup guide for the relevant tools as well as anon's notes on their exploration of the space. It helped me get up an running in a couple hours and avoid a lot of trial and error. Generally the quality is far better than your average medium post. I think largely because people write medium posts for clout and clicks, anonymous rentrys exist out of the goodness of people's hearts and for no ulterior motive.

There are rules for people under the president that are followed for them to disclose information. That doesn't mean the president is restrained under such rules.

Imagine you're the chief executive officer of your household (dad). You can make rules that your kids have to follow, but that doesn't mean you have to follow the same rules. You can have a rule that says "no TV after 10 pm" That doesn't mean you can't watch TV. It just means your kids can't watch TV after 10. As the Dad you're the source of the rules. It would be meaningless for you to restrain yourself to such rules, as you could just as easily unrestrain yourself (being the source of the rules).

Let's assume there's a secret document that says Israel has nuclear weapons.

The president is meeting with the prime minister of Israel, are you saying that the president can't talk to prime minister about their nuclear weapons because congress (DOJ? FBI?) restrained him from disclosing this secret...
It would be nonsensical.

Hypothetically, suppose you are correct. Which branch of government would you like to be telling the president what he can and can't disclose. DOJ? FBI? CIA? Congress?
