What about Upstart?

It was significantly better than sysvinit and Debian, Fedora, RHEL6, OpenSUSE all adopted it. Even though it came out of Canonical.

It was replaced by Systemd because that did concurrency in the dependency management, which Upstart didn't, and was never designed to do, so was going to require a lot of rework to support.

What about them? The warnings about the cave admonish people to not enter it between July and November, the group went in towards the end of June.

Oceangate had been warned by pretty much anyone with any knowledge of their efforts. They fired and sued their Director of Marine Ops who tried for stricter safety measures. They've already had to repair stress damage to the hull before the final dive. They were using parts not expected to hold up to 4000m dives, they were using flammable materials inside the sub.

The Thai team did something generally recognized as safe, and got caught up in a bad situation. The Oceangate folks did something that they'd been warned against repeatedly and consistently, something nobody thought was safe. Oceangate took every opportunity to do the wrong thing and try to profit off of it.

Insofar as wealth has anything to do with it, pedo guy happens to be pretty damn wealthy (ex financial broker). If those Thai kids hadn't caught a rich guy's attention their misadventure would've been a mere footnote.
API routes are nothing new, and not a big part of the new App router (also, called "route handlers" there). Are you confusing features here?
It's still much more annoying than it should be to input Unicode characters in most operating systems and text editors, though.
Yes, I agree. What I meant by effort is this context is using your willpower.

To me there's a huge mental shift once you decided 100% on something and there's no questioning it. It may be tiring, but it just flows. This is what I call effortless in this context. Because it does not require any willpower to do it, even if it requires thinking or strength. You are locked in.

I mean whether it's coding or gym, surely you must have experienced it. When you are in the middle of the activity and you are not questioning whether you should be doing it or not.

The state of flow is familiar to most coders. Coding is nice because your mind is so busy building the castle that there is no place to be thinking about yourself. There is just code. So you are not questioning whether coding is something that you currently want to be doing. The same state can be achieved doing just about anything and to me the trick is to make narration without contradictions. Out of all things in the world, given my current life context writing this comment is the thing I want to do the most. Even if nobody reads it.

Btw I don't have that luxury 100% of the time. I can get hang up on the question of what do I actually want (in my case it usually drops down to not being honest with myself regarding the fact that what I really want is more sleep).

Regarding not liking situation, one that you choose to be in. I've had big mental shift from thinking in patterns of "lesser evil" and choosing what you want packages from the reality you are in (i.e. dropping wishful thinking). IT seems subtle but it's not.

"You choose to do it because you want it done. It is an axiom." is the right track. But not liking it, is the same as not liking that the sky is not green. It's fair, you might have preferred the green sky by a lot, but it's so ridiculous that you wouldn't experience anything negative because of that. It's the same with reality you are in and options available to you.
Agree but to be fair I wouldn't have known the answer either if they said 30ns.

Then again, I do know as a dev that unless it's happening every frame (ie for games), as long as you're not introducing non-scalable complexity, the computation time of a bit of reasoning is often negligible.
Well, while the conclusion might be wrong, the premise that people can't be trusted with what goes into their eyeballs certainly seems solid.

And I will take the 900lbs and $10k+ that shaves off, thank you.

If a manufacturer can save 900lbs they'll just put in a bigger battery instead. People are anxious about range, and manufacturers sell more long range cars.

And if they can knock $10k off the bill of materials they'll just make $10k more profit on the vehicle.

The choices that go into building a car are about driving mass market sales and increasing the bottom line. They aren't about catering to specific user needs.

This isn't some personal drama. If true, this is serious cause for alarm

If Amazon is really retaliating against people critisizing them in public like it's really really bad.

Like he said, if Amazon came out publicly and said that we don't want to partner with people that have an adverserial relationship with us, that be bad but at least more straightforward.

Punishing people like this indirectly is dangerous in so many ways that I can't even explain it. It's especially dangerous for a company like amazon that's invovled in so many ways in everyday lives.

I went a long way down this route a year or so ago, having found an absolutely perfect 1986 porsche 911 "donor car," however the amount of regulation the car needed to comply with, the engineering time and the expense of the motors, batteries and controllers (that would have to be custom made to fit the car) meant that I was going to spend a quarter million all in. I could have saved maybe a third of that taking a used car off a scrapheap, but then it defeats the point of ending up with a car I actually wanted to drive.
To be fair, he doesn't blame the platform in that video. He says "I need to keep titling my videos in a way that allows us to adapt to how viewers are discovering new content". It stands to reason that the same forces that influence viewers on YouTube also influence viewers on Floatplane.

I don't think that the 20 times lower PPC on affiliate links vs Google Ads is due to market forces.

From the numbers I see, Google Ads are paid roughly "correctly". The ad spent per new customer is somewhere around the lifetime value of the customer. At least in competitive verticals.

But for affiliate links, it is about 20 times lower.

Your argument that market forces should drive the affiliate market towards the same equilibrium is exactly my question. Why doesn't it do that? Visit some random website about some random product. You don't see a variety of affiliate advertisers. You almost always only see Amazon. The cases where there are more than just Amazon links, it is often just to justify the site as a "price comparison" site. But reality is that even on those sites, the vast majority of revenue comes from Amazon.
Among other points, I'd raised the issue of distinguishing personal subreddits years ago in a post to which a Reddit admin responded directly and pledged that they'd honour my request in that regard:

Illegal immigrant and refugee are different terms.

UNHCR:

Refugees are people who have been forced to flee their homes and have crossed an international border to find safety in another country.

Like the previous comment, you could argue that complex geopolitical circumstances "forced" these people to illegally immigrate, but then you could argue that everything is forced. You could argue that Europeans moving from one country to another because there is no work in their field are "forced". Are they refugees ?

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan declared Monday a day of mourning for Pakistanis who died after a fishing boat

There is no immediate threat of life in Pakistan. They were not refugees.
Me it seems.

I thought to have read the boat capsized while being towed, as claimed by one of the survivors. Being towed could be an involuntary act, while throwing a line seems solely meant to help.

> The 104 survivors of the tragedy have very limited mobility and access to communications. Some of them said Greek Coast Guard vessels threw them a line shortly before their vessel capsized [1]

On a personal note. I myself got once rescued by the navy with their Zodiac. That was a mutually fantastic experience. I believe that coastguards anywhere would prefer to rescue above anything else, that is what they signed up for. I hope this dual tragedy will help the leadership to remove anything that creeps between that objective.

No. Even if you work for a Fortune 500 company (which 80% of the workforce doesn't), your CEO likely isn't a billionaire unless they also founded the company. The vast majority of these companies aren't lead by the only 770 billionaires in the US. Even making 15 million a year (typical Fortune 500 CEO total compensation), it would take a long time to hit a billion.
No, I have generated a few thousand midjourney images and there is quite a difference in these images actually.

It is hard to describe but there is a very unnatural "sheen" to the images on the left.

The SDXL 0.9 images look more photo realistic but they still aren't quite at the level that midjourney can do.

The best example is the wolf's hair between the ears in the SDXL 0.9 image. It is just a little too noisy and wavey compared to how a real wolf photo would look. Midjourney 5.1 --style raw would still handily beat this image if making a photo realistic wolf.

The jacket on the Alien in the SDXL 0.9 image also has too much of that AI sheen but it kind of works in this image as an effect for the jacket material so not really the best example.

The coffee cup isn't very good on either of them IMO. The trees on the right are still not blurred quite right. They are hiding the hand with this image on the right too. You can see how bad the little and ring finger is on the left image.

Obviously, this is all very nit picky.

I love popcorn. And this might be arrogant. As I might come around like the extremist (that I am). But I am reading here between the lines, that even with popcorn, there is a lot that could be done better for the environment:
- gas is not renewable. I hope we can get away from that
- once popping starts you turn of the stove, does this mean you have fairly solid pans that keep the heat long? I don't think that is sustainable either
- You put butter in the popcorn? Well that is also not sustainable either.
- Then you add Parmesan, well that makes it even worse.
- You use a paper towel, that you toss away

Why do we just happen to glance over those issues so easily?
Have been using my Vibram Five-Finger's for going on 13 years now, and along with them using toe socks. Not exclusively, but still rather frequently.

Toe socks are a pain to get on.

Never had any of the issues the author mentiones with normal socks, but have long since realized that not all socks are created equally. For a few years now all my sock purchases have been done exclusively from Pantherella in the UK, even though it burns a hole in my wallet.

It is worth it for the feeling of waking on clouds.
I haven't watched the video and was very happy to have a summary. What makes you question it was written by an AI?
One of the ... more interesting ... suggestions I'd seen on the Fediverse responding to my thread there was to start creating ... and immediately setting private ... large numbers of subreddits.

Having learned Java in high school and later taught Java, Python and C++ to high-schoolers, things have improved greatly in Java. The days of memorizing the entire BufferedReader try-catch snippet are over. The new file and stream APIs are almost as clean as in Python and making GUIs (Swing for basic and JavaFX for advanced) is even easier than Tk in Python.

For me, it boils down to a choice between typed and "non-typed" languages, where the best typed option is Java and the best "non-typed" are Python or maybe JavaScript (NodeJS). Everything else is some combination of not mainstream enough, not powerful enough out of the box or requires too much knowledge to get started. Java and Python read like English, have most of what you'll need included and are very useful languages for students to get their first internships/summer jobs working with.

> A common theme in this discussion seems to be the delusion that working together on code is some pure abstract thing without any emotions or personality involved.

Yes, strive towards that. If you can't keep your emotions in check, seek help with that instead of taking it out on people you are emotional about.

> And in regards to the dangerous part, there is a very real danger in giving people a platform and potentially promoting them.

Deplatforming based on feelings and especially the normalization of that is a much much much bigger danger. Don't expect to always be on the good sides of those holding the power even if you are now.

I understand you're assuming that NNs won't be useful for this purpose, until they can be continuously on-line trained - that is, learning while working, like animal and human brains. Everyone else on this subthread is arguing that this is not necessary. Instead, you can use pre-trained NNs as fixed components, use a different system (like a vector database, in my example) to provide memory, and the whole thing will already be capable of learning.

Sure, it won't be able to fine-tune its instincts, at least not at first[0], but this doesn't matter - it makes no sense to compare robots and squirrels across their entire life cycle, as where every animal needs to learn most things from experience, an AI-powered robot rolls out of factory with all that experience preloaded, and experience itself is something developed separately, at scale, synthesizing much more any individual animal or human could ever learn in their lifetime.

In short: the limitation you're pointing out is a limitation of LARPing biological life. It's not a limitation for beating its performance across the board.

> For the record, what I'm talking about is called "catastrophic forgetting"

As I understand it, this is exactly the thing the robot-controlling AI will be immune to, if you build it around current pre-trained NN models and external memory. No NN fine-tuning on the fly -> no possibility for "catastrophic forgetting".

EDIT: Re launching a robot with an untrained NN - such a thing doesn't make practical sense unless you're also making the robot autonomously self-replicating. If you're going to build the hardware for the robot in a factory, you may just as well preload it with firmware; there's hardly a case where one would be possible and the other not.

--

[0] - Two avenues for future development: 1) building the robot AI around models that can be fine-tuned on the fly, or 2) training an NN that can emulate an NN inside; the internal NN would then become a function of variable inputs to fixed NN. I think option 1) is actually promising - note that those NNs don't have to be continuously fine-tuneable - you can e.g. put two NNs for each component, use one during "wake time", and fine-tune it during "sleep time" based on recorded memory, while other serves as backup. Or fine-tune one while using the other, then swap pointers. There's solid prior art here with systems designed for space missions - the design I proposed is just a more complex version of how software updates are implemented on Martian rovers, and other hardware that can't be reflashed in the lab if you brick it remotely.

That's because they are actually comparing old version of SDXL vs new one. The old version already improved things...

I'm not sure that Shakespeare really had a concept of beyond young infatuation like we have today

"As a kid having to read Shakespeare what was lost on me,…"

What age was that? I reckon most kids think Shakespeare is difficult at the beginning because of the language, and that brings me back to a point made in the article:

"For me, Richard II is the most dull of the Henriad plays."

I now think so too, but when I was studying the play it was the first one I'd encountered with a solid story to it, so it encouraged me to figure out the language so I could follow the plot by myself.

I was introduced to Shakespeare at age 12 and in that year we studied two plays, As You Like It and A Midsummer Night's Dream and I was bored with both. The language wasn't difficult as our teacher explained everything well but I didn't find the stories interesting, they were a bit of a yawn really.

As I said that changed with Richard II and by then I was 14. Being older helped to understand nuances in the script but that was only part of it, the play simply had more substance to it which made it more interesting and worthy of study. Moreover, by then we had to first read the text without the teacher's help which would only come afterwards in class discussions.

Thus Richard II was the first play where Shakespeare actually made sense to me, it too was the first one where the language made sense without the teacher having to 'translate' every paragraph.

Putting Richard II behind me as an enjoyable experience rather than drudgery was important as it made me prepared for the great plays like Lear. That appreciation may not have happened if the order of introduction to the plays had been different.
