How is prosecuting a foreign national for espionage like trying to render your own citizens for "reasons"?

You can talk to them. It is not kind to tell children there is no hope.

Tell them there are always problems and we've always solved them. Tell them things are going to be ok. Let them take on the burndens of adulthood when they are psychologically mature.

They're pretty common on eBay and some offer local pickup (they're heavy!) so you could verify it works before buying.
In a later tweet, he even mentions there were 6 other people and they built on top of existing work. Doesn't really sound like he's within a mile of solely creating anything, no matter what spin he likes to apply.

> I'm a "tankie" and my MO is to point out the millions lifted out of poverty in communist China

Only after Deng's market based reforms in the 1980s.

What do you have to say for their campaign of ethnic cleansing?
I used to feel like this and yes at weddings in particular.

At some point I realized that I am not the only +1 at this wedding and somehow those other +1s aren't fucked up in their head about it.

Eventually you realize your agency. Like you can for example spot the other +1 and strike up a conversation.
So bonuses and performance based compensation shouldn't be a thing?
Why are you asking tankies? How many actual tankies do you think exist in the US? I hope you exclude liberals, social kapitalists, social democratist from the definition of tankies?
Wow, I'm really excited about new autonomous mechanical beasts! What could possibly go wrong?
> We are all full of all sorts of bad behaviour. Instead of accepting our faults we should strive to fix them, so that we don’t pass them onto our children.

We should work on our faults, yes. But we should also strive to accept them, so that our children learn to accept their own faults as well.

If you treat any imperfection as an intolerable flaw, you will teach your children to treat any of their own flaws as intolerable.
End of story? My living expenses are $60k/year. I guess you've settled it, that I'm living in poverty; with my 2 cars, garage, unlimited fresh produce (garden & store), Apple products everywhere, heater, A/C, sushi every week. Good one
For 250k, I hope they were provided a cyanide pill.
In other news, Stanford is one of the four best undergraduate programs and Carnegie Mellon is... not.

Don't get me wrong, CMU has a great computer science faculty, but looking at random CMU alumni doesn't tell you much because a random CMU grad isn't that different from a random Georgetown grad.
Is it at all realistic to RV in this weather? I am curious what it would look like.
Nah is plain envy, professional envy, none of those "non baseless petty attacks" comes from people that can say they worked in the most disruptive tech of the new century.
Show HN: pg-primer - Beginner's guide to administering/managing PostgreSQL
I created this small guide for people starting with postgresql. I added some queries I commonly used as well. Any feedback?
I use a very simple heuristic when talking to that sort of person:

"Why are people fleeing from your alleged paradise to an alleged criminal state? Why not the other way around? Get back to me when large numbers of Americans are fleeing to China to escape tyranny at home, search for new and better opportunities, etc."
Your credit score just measures your reliability in repaying loans no? It only affects your ability to get loans no?

It’s no different from a driving test which measures you ability to drive and only affects your eligibility to drive.

We use such specialised tests with clear “passing” conditions that only affect a specific part of our lives all the time.

Social credit systems seem far more far reaching from what I have heard - affects your ability to get loans, buy property, travel, … etc. Your score also depends on pleasing certain people in society rather meeting some objective criteria - reminds me of the Black Mirror episode “Nosedive”.

Don’t think they are really comparable.
> If you’re an introvert and don’t desire social connection and have none, you’re fine.

As a blanket statement, this may not be valid, as there could be 'feedback loops':

I don’t follow. Both ChatGPT and Google gave you the same command, but Google’s response contained links, therefore Google’s response is less good.

Wouldn’t you have had an identical experience copy and pasting from Google as you did ChatGPT? Did you recognize the correct command immediately in ChatGPT but have difficulty recognizing that same command on Google’s page?
Why should this part be taken at face value when the other bits of information are already contested?
> I also have trouble understanding this response people have to feel like any discussion of generational trends is somehow an insult to themselves and their generation. [...] why does everyone get so defensive about those as though they're being blamed for something?

It gets attributed to a lot of things (Narcissism, autism, etc.) but one thing I've personally noticed is how passive-aggressive younger generations have become with their bullying of each other. We overpoliced physical bullying to the point where you can't shove someone around without getting caught on camera from six different angles, so it's become an artform to cut others down with underhanded insults that aren't actionable when reported to [school or parental] authorities. "Crybullying" is now a thing, where you say something provocative to someone else, then run to the principal insisting you're the one being bullied when they come after you. All passive forms of aggression, and mostly undetectable.

How else do we have fewer kids getting beaten up at school, mandatory accept-everyone policies and everything-pride assemblies, yet so many more kids are now claiming mental health issues? After zero-tolerance-for-violence policies, we now have more school shootings? We're not even being lazy and blaming Grand Theft Auto and Marilyn Manson-- they're no longer a common denominator; the latter stopped being relevant decades ago. We're starting to attribute it to the internet by handwaving at social media (because we really nailed one-attribution-fits-all after Columbine) but I submit there's something else going on in schools that we're not doing a good enough job exploring. Take crybullying-- there's no internet, no social media, no technology involved at all. It wasn't a thing when I was in school; the worst I had to deal with was getting shoved into lockers. We never corrected the bullying situation, just forced its evolution.

So I am not at all surprised younger generations are hypersensitive to any form of criticism. There are a lot of Narcissists among them thanks to the Age of the Influencer, but the rest of the demographic seems to have lost the ability to tell the difference between objective observations and veiled criticism because, like Theon Greyjoy at the hands of Ramsay Bolton, they can't be certain what's a carrot, what's a stick, who's being passive-aggressive, and who's being earnest. Internet shenanigans haven't helped, but it's not the cause.
At least it was tangible thing, a whole sticker!! A company worked on a while ago, the rewards were a message to the group and some thumbs up!!
Maybe, but the world's major currencies have a long way to go before they're anywhere near Bitcoin levels of volatility. At the moment crypto is suitable for speculation and not much else. As a currency it's only superior in a couple of use cases, namely if a government has frozen your accounts or you're doing something illegal.

Yup, that whole fiasco seriously puts into question the utility of the CIA and its ilk. The whole situation really spooked Xi Jinping and gave him good reason to clear house, ending up with our current situation. I wonder how many agents are in the high levels of the party today, if at all.
Buy the car for what it is today, not what it might be tomorrow. Many Tesla owners have been burned hoping for a feature, a retrofit, or even missing out on one taken away.
Yes, he renounced his Chinese citizenship and became a Swedish citizen, but China revoked the change when they grabbed him from Thailand (they also got him to agree to it, but coercion was likely involved in that).
20k is "chump change"
It's not wrong. Obviously putting it all in one place makes you consider just how much of it you have, rather than having it hidden away all over your code.
Your numbers are way off.

SF average base salary is $154k [0]. Tampa is $97k [1]. COL index is 1.79 [2].

$97k * 1.79 is $173k, and the COL does not cover California income taxes.

You're actually ahead in Tampa by almost $20k.

The rural high school I went to had these instead of computers until 1996 or 97.
a statistic I'd be interested in: what percentage of searches can be answered computationally cheap. As in: Wikipedia title index, simple word lookup dictionaries. Indices that could complement a caching search-engine proxy to not hit its origin crawl repository.

A study[1] by wikipedia done with DDG notes it showed up in the top5 results and information module for ~13% of searches with a click-through rate for each at ~8% - so a total of ~16% click-through rate. Granted, that is not a number gained from title searches but the whole articles.

So, people have no problem - say - redeeming tokens that have been through Tornado? Or trouble redeeming bitcoins that have been through known, sanctioned wallets?

How is “Everyone can see every transaction you have ever done” censorship-resistant, doesn’t that mean you have to be extra careful about every single person or service you have ever transacted with?

And, excluding the $5 wrench seems a really, really large oversight when it results in every single asset or piece of ”money” you own being irretrievably, instantly stolen.
MidJourney produces more consistent and usable results. I am running SD and also pay for MJ. I've tried several checkpoint and loras, but the output is often disappointing or incorrectly using the prompts.
20k is not a good bonus for this company. That's the bonus plan for a run of the mill engineer just starting out there. You'll find college grads hired right out of school with a higher bonus plan.
Unfortunately so. He just has a certain presence-demanding demeanor to him that seems to register on a deeper level with insecure men. He also has a very meticulously crafted social image. He has a couple different "universities" and organizations which people pay something like $50/mo to for advice on business and relationships to "escape the matrix."

It's sad so many fall for it, but they do.
Logitech has orders of magnitude more experience in manufacturing peripherals than Microsoft. That said, Logitech does make products in a wide price range and the low end isn't competitive with their own high end.
Frankly, it can only improve the quality, so I'm all for it.
If he built the first prototype, I'd call him a creator of it. It had absolutely nothing to do with who was the first person inside of Microsoft to use LLMs in an IDE completion experience.

I call everyone who builds the first thing the creator(s). This isn't uncommon or weird in my mind at all.

He may be totally fully of himself, but I don't see any realistic argument that he isn't one of the creators.
I've heard that about almonds, too (that they consume A LOT of water), and even worse: California farms pivoted to growing almonds, not because they're essential food, but because they sell a lot in China, and they're highly profitable. Furthermore, California farms have used the drought as an excuse to raise prices on almonds (that they ship to the Chinese market) and increase profits even more, even though their price of water hasn't changed. This has created a circle of increased water consumption, driven by profits, not the desire to feed the people.

I'm definitely not an expert here. Please correct me if this is all BS.
by his own admission he received a bonus and a promotion
"Tankie" is a term mostly used by leftists - democratic socialists or neo-Marxists, etc. Liberals usually do not bother to distinguish between them.
First off are you using a custom model or the default SD model? The default model is not the greatest. Have you tried controlnet?

But yes SD can be a bit of a pain to use. Think of it like this. SD = Linux, Midjourney = Windows/MacOS. SD is more powerful and user controllable but that also means it has a steeper learning curve.
But to follow the restaurant analogy, every restaurant has a 'chef' that manages the food (product) and a 'manager' that manages the business (front office). Both need to partner together and are critical to success, right?

It sounds like I'm missing some important context here.
The Chinese aren't doing it for "reasons", they have a justification that fits into their narrative, just like the US. The similarities are that the state is using its power to punish people that have made it look bad or have otherwise displeased it. The main difference is that isn't supposed to happen in America, but it does no matter who you vote for.
Well, most interviews I’ve been a part of always emphasize “I wanna hear what YOU did, don’t talk about the team.” It kinda optimizes for embellishing ones contributions, and has almost become expected.
Looks interesting but unfortunately neither the deb or AppImage options worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04. (Yes, I probably should upgrade.)
That's a great suggestion! And while there are some really nice options (copy as css, copy as Figma layer, permalink...) it took me forever to see them way down in the left corner in the light gray text.

No, I'm quite sure China is the main one to blame.

This entire conversation is about centralized exchanges.
This hasn't been my experience. I spent over a decade at startups, a handful of years at a big research lab, and over a decade at a big company. I've made far far more money from working at the big company than I did at the startups, and one of them had an exit. Unless you are a founder, you will get less in most exits than you do getting bonuses and stock options at a big company once you've climbed the ladder a little bit.
Are you using txt2img with the vanilla model? SD's actual value is in the large array of higher-order input methods and tooling; as a tradeoff, it requires more knowledge. Similarly to 3D CGI, it's a highly technical area. You don't just enter the prompt with it.

You can finetune it on your own material, or choose one of the hundreds of public finetuned models. You can guide it in a precise manner with a sketch or by extracting a pose from a photo using controlnets or any other method. You can influence the colors. You can explicitly separate prompt parts so the tokens don't leak into each other. You can use it as a photobashing tool with a plugin to popular image editing software. Things like ComfyUI enable extremely complicated pipelines as well. etc etc etc
When I'm definitely not upset about things I usually whine about them on twitter too.

> the ground crew at the airport held two safety briefings immediately before the plane arrived at the gate.

She got TWO briefings not to approach the plane.

> The National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report indicating a ramp worker who was pulled into an Embraer E175 jet engine and killed at Montgomery Regional Airport on Dec. 31 had walked too close to the running engine despite warnings.

It was her fault for not following her training, from the details I can find. What was AA supposed to do aside from refusing to open the door to let ground crew outside?
I don't think anyone on this site is going to be professionally envious of a 20k USD bonus
> And then of course talking about IT geek stuff. Kind of general problem with men I think. Very difficult to open up to other men.

I think men generally are about doing things together as opposed to 'just' being together. "Talking" isn't really counted as an activity for men, but is for women.

Get a bunch of guys together for paintball, or hunting, or sports, and relationships will form.
What's your top 4?
> You own nothing and you are happy?

I own assets and am happy. (The home owning is often a source of stress that competes with my happiness.) The last ten years saw my prospects increase materially. I’ve also noticed as much in my friends with more blue-collar jobs. Statistics show a similar trend: broad gains with pockets of instability.
Yeah a random Georgetown or CMU grad has a lot more question marks than a top 4 school. They may be good but if so why werent they in a top 4 school?

My first job out of college was at Google Ads on a team of 7 creating a new Ad format that ended up being pretty successful. That ad type has now made billions of dollars, and I did get a promo and bonuses, but I never expected anything like profit share because it felt so obvious to me that I was standing on the shoulders of thousands of giants.

There was the ads policy team that made sure our ads weren't offensive.
There was the Cider team that gave us an efficient IDE for doing our work.
There were the SREs that made sure we wouldn't break everything when we ran releases.
There were internal tooling teams that made our tests reliable, our builds fast, and our development easy.
There were the creators of the frameworks we used on the frontends/backends/infra.
There was the creator of Memegen that kept me sane.
There were dozens of folks telling me what to do as a new grad that made my job easy.
There was the experiments/AB testing folks who helped us tune our models.

At the end of the day, I was converting protobufs from one format to another, making a UI here or there, parsing some logs, making minor model adjustments, etc. It was work, pretty similar to what I've done at other companies, it was just that the scale was different.

I always wonder when I see stories like this if these folks really were as critical as they claim to be or if they were just in the right place at the right time to get a bunch of visibility. Especially when in that Twitter thread there is this conversation:

> What do you mean by created? Did you code it from scratch yourself?

> Alex: Yes, me and 1-6 others.

> Scientist at OpenAI: hey

> Alex: correction: + much of OpenAI eng, plus years of their bleeding edge research

I wonder if Alex maybe had more help than he's claiming in other places as well.

I have gone from complete atheist to a fairly religious and I have never encountered anything resembling "normalization of hatred and anti social values" - but it's something I hear atheists talk about a lot.

I don't know what to make of that - either I've been really lucky or the folks whose apriori stance is that there's no higher power and religion is bad, try to spin it that way.
If midjourney could count fingers, I'd be thrilled!
Seems like it’s happening without government intervention. It’s hard to imagine now that Ford, GM, and Tesla are on the same standard that the rest will not follow suit.
I wish that there was some way to find out about these things before they happen!
Sure; maybe you want a type of vehicle Tesla doesn't offer, or you want to buy from a vendor who's more open about making parts and service information available to users, or you want a more traditional car interface with normal switches and buttons rather than a big touch screen.

Your question is sort of like asking if there's any reason to buy a computer that isn't made by Apple. Of course there is, it just depends on what you're looking for.

I'd imagine a lot of people are also explicitly avoiding Tesla due to its association with its increasingly erratic owner.
I remember a teacher in ninth grade warning students who up to that point found maths to be easy without studying: that would no longer be the case. From anecdotal memory, I think what happened was a shift from real problems to abstract concepts. Up until then maths problems had been rooted in the real world and could be solved with logic, but suddenly there were graphs and asymptotes and cosines and a bunch of other stuff without a clear connection to their usefulness to the world.

High school teachers didn’t fare better. One of them, when we were learning statistics, said there was no way we’d be able to complete the given homework on our own without a tutor. On the contrary, it was the most enjoyable and approachable maths had been for years. Finally something which connected to the real world again.

In retrospect, I think I had a string of mediocre teachers which sapped my excitement. As an adult I watched two second gif loops which clicked in my head ideas which weren’t made clear by previous explanations.

To answer your question, I’d be interested in analytic geometry and any concepts which would related to computer graphics.

Where would you post? Is there a feed we could subscribe to?
Bonuses for above-and-beyond stuff (ie not the "bonuses" that everyone counts on) tend to vary wildly in my experience.

I've gotten a very similar bonus to this for putting in a few long nights and accelerating a client delivery by a month. And sometimes much less for much more effort.

I think it depends on how much of a slush fund a project has, which might not be at all tied to the impact of the project.
