Acoustic waves dissipate their energy into non-acoustic (molecular) degrees of freedom. In the absence of matter, I think there are no other degrees of freedom for gravitational waves to dissipate into, unless they are strong enough to form a black hole (which they can do under extreme conditions, I think).

(This is waaaay outside my expertise though, so take my answer with a grain of salt. Everything I've said in this thread is basically based off the rudimentary understanding from taking a GR course in grad school. I've never done research on this topic.)
good news for their competitors
Agreed. The link here here is to a Reddit post from an relatively unknown person claiming to be quoting a private email from Valve. Kotaku has a bit more reporting, including a second report from a developer on Reddit. Also some comments on skepticism. https://kotaku.com/valve-ai-art-generator-steam-crypto-ban-m...

I'm pretty sure if this is Valve policy they'll have no trouble saying so publicly. I miss the old days of journalism where someone made an effort to get the story correct including responses from the named parties.
Don't the statistics show that black people have about the same rate of deaths per encounter as other groups?

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1903856116

Deaths per capita are higher, but their police encounter rate is also higher. The higher encounter rate is possibly due to discrimination, but it doesn't match with your story about calling the cops and then getting shot.
When I started using Airbnb it definitely was more affordable than hotels

Now a days I almost always book hotels instead - especially for 1-2 day visits - as it always tends to be cheaper, less complications, and offer more value imo
Because the US has systematically disenfranchised ethnic minorities over the course of its history. Any time there was a non-white person or community that was starting to become prosperous, the power of the state could be used to crush them. At times it was overtly murderous[0], but as that became unfashionable, it was relegated to more subtle methods. Some of the most blatant examples include:

- Want an interstate in your city? Run it through a black or brown neighborhood.[1]

- Want a stadium? Build it in a black or brown neighborhood.[2]

- Black folks got a nice property? Just take it from them.[3]

Yeah, I am really confused too, given that the grandparent comment was making a pretty sane and relevant point. Sure it was a bit snarky and tongue in cheek, but it definitely wasn't something even remotely close to intellectually deserve a low-IQ attack (not even mentioning that those attacks aren't appropriate on HN regardless of the intellectual merit of the point).
Seems shortsighted and overly limiting to me. Perhaps in this specific case it makes sense?

What's the difference?

A) Human creates artwork in the style of [insert artist here]

B) Computer creates artwork in the style of [insert artist here]

Both "trained" against existing copyrighted works except one is human. Is this to "save jobs"?
I don't think it's the cynical take, the current FTC chair seriously believes that the FTC should be doing more antitrust enforcement and the paper that got her noticed specifically called out Amazon (IIRC the amazon/diapers.com conflict).

She runs into challenges because she has a somewhat novel theory of antitrust. This causes conflict between the long-standing staffers (who both want to win cases and seem to dislike the new direction) and with judges (who don't seem to be buying her theories).
Common Lisp has a specification for a GUI framework, CLIM...

The question is not "Does being rich help you with the SAT?" The question is "Does being rich help you more on the SATs the other possible criteria?" Because being rich and having resources helps with everything.

And being rich benefits GPA, extracurriculars, and college essays far more than it helps SATs where prep costs a couple hundred dollars and a month of weekends.
I also wish I would have studied classical CS in college. However, I was sick most of the time, and there were half a dozen weed-out classes, so the computer science courses I did take were non-major courses to supplement a GIS degree.

GIS is certainly interesting in its own ways, and it taught me some visualization and design skills, but I wish it would have been possible for me to learn more of what's going on under the hood of the massive libraries and high-level languages I use every day as a professional "software engineer"
Take every advantage you can get. Don't be sorry.
So, because they study more, and their family places more importance in studying, they should be brought down because they are not the right race?
Thanks for the link. I had issues with the WaPo article, but that tongue-in-cheek joke with dead-pan delivery wasn't one of them. Fortunately another commenter called it out as a joke as well.
Maybe submit a patch?
I recently did a small project in F# just to try it out. This was my exact experience. Syntacticly it seemed very nice and in some ways it was cool to have all the libraries I'm used to in C#, however due to the latter it ends up being possible to suddenly have `null` or other weird non-functional thingies suddenly pop up.
I figured it was implied since we were talking about the US, but context has a way of collapsing in threaded conversations. Thanks for bringing it back around.
This issue is personal for justices Thomas, Jackson, and Sotomayor especially. I think that is reflected in their opinions.

IIRC, the reason no one noticed is that even the strongest gravitational waves are only going to "stretch" space by something less than the diameter of a hydrogen atom.

If it gets hit by hail the size of a Volkswagen, its going to be done in. If it gets hit by pebble sized hail it's probably fine (and so are these solar panels).

Baseball sized hail is pretty nasty stuff. Angle and location of impact is going to affect the outcome.

Overall. I used Microsoft Word on both machines and IIRC, it was not a fat binary yet. It would probably feel slower than the top of the line 68040 models, but it was OK.

You are referring to California public colleges. Some California private colleges which received federal funding were still using racial identity as a factor in admissions.

From what I’ve seen of airbnbs where I grew up a contributing factor isn’t just quantity of the airbnbs but also the particular houses they choose.

A lot of them are what I think most people would call “starter houses”, relatively cheap pragmatic homes in decent areas. I would assume it has to do with people maybe upgrading houses and doing short term rentals on their first house and probably just that if you’re looking to invest in real estate they’re of course cheaper and a good fit for airbnb style short term rentals. I don’t know though I’d also assume it’s such a pain in the ass to manage that most people would rather sell and get money towards a new house.
If your main product is a business tool to spam people, it would be in your best interest to enable as many new businesses to sprout up and start spamming people as possible. It would also be in your best interest to prevent your competitors from creating that enablement product and selling it as a service, earning revenue, and pumping that money back into their spam product.

What do you mean by more? It already controls it. No CDBC proposal is about getting rid of banks or minimum reserve requirements below 100%. I understand the privacy concerns because bearer bonds are illegal or impossible to issue nowadays so getting rid of cash would be a death knell but that isn't your concern.
No, I'm not saying that - and it's rather disingenuous to even infer that statement from my post.

However, if an 85 year old with arthritis and glaucoma wants or needs to join the workforce, they should have the opportunity and the tools available to them. Many from the Baby Boomer generation are finding themselves in the "needs" category, for example.
For the physicists here I would greatly like to hear an opinion on what presents the greater physics challenge: keeping the ocean out at the depth of 13K feet or containing a spacecraft's atmosphere in the vacuum of space. I suspect it's the former but don't have the "mathy maths" to back it up.
>Where in the 14th does it say anything about school attendance? When did school attendance become a right? Which amendment does that come from?

Brown v. Board of Ed, to start, seems to pretty clearly dictate that public schools may not discriminate on the basis of race because it is a violation of the 14th amendment. What is affirmative action if not a discrimination based on the color of one's skin?

> When did school attendance become a right?

I don't really feel like in 2023 I should have to be arguing that the right to attend a public school shouldn't be conditioned on a pupil's race or ethnicity.

Not sure what your point is. Pickled vegetables contain nitrosamines [1] which are definite carcinogens. It’s the same reason that processed meats are associated with increased rates of colon cancer.

Regarding caffeic acid, it’s possible that it may have different effects based on concentration and other conditions. In small doses it may be protective, in high doses it may be carcinogenic. From the Wikipedia article:

“ Some studies have shown that it inhibits carcinogenesis, and other experiments show carcinogenic effects.[22] Oral administration of high doses of caffeic acid in rats has caused stomach papillomas.[22]“

There may be a line between there somewhere, but it's not at all clear where it is. What about generating foliage or varied ground textures? What about generating buildings? Or NPCs? Also, the "just upscaling" relies on training data from outside your own game. Why is that okay when the rest of this isn't?

I totally get why Valve is taking the stance that they are. I imagine its hard even for them to know where to draw the line (evidenced by how long the turnaround time was on the support response).
China had this policy as well.

Posting this article, in reference to how often firms are assumed to be owned by shareholders, or have a legal duty to maximizing shareholder value. This was also my assumption prior to my MBA.

Shareholders have few legal entitlements (being in line for liquidation payouts, and requiring the highest offer for sale of a firm). Other entitlements such as dividends or votes are "given" by the firm rather than required.
I wonder if they'll do the same for Ai generated text? Why shouldn't they honestly. I could easily finetune an LLM on the writings of a certain author or maybe the content of Mass Effect 1-3 and have the outputs be similar.
I wonder if there's also a difference between engineering and non-engineering schools. I tend to agree that at MIT you mostly just want the very best engineers and the more objective the metric, maybe the better.

But if I'm looking to educate the best politicians, judges, business people, activists -- I think that I really do care about a lot more than SATs and transcripts.

It's funny because I feel like no one has this argument about Cal Tech. They might have affirmative action, but if they didn't everyone seemed to be OK with it.

That would mean mounting the panels a lot higher, and not all panels are mounted on motors due to cost already. The real question is how many panels will be damaged by hail in a 10 year period and back-calculate what it's worth to protect them.
> I'm also noticing a significant difference in the performance of colleagues who use these tools a lot vs the ones who don't go anywhere near them

This is interesting because in my workplace, I've noticed no difference between the two groups. The ones using these tools think they're more performant, but if they are, it's not to a significant enough degree as to be obvious to others.
i won't speak for gabe, but i (hispanic) had two distinct (and memorable) instances at mit where a classmate told me, to my face, that the only reason i was at mit was because i was hispanic. one passed it off as common knowledge in a group conversation, the other said it to me, unprompted, while we were talking to each other. they were assholes, to be sure, but it's not some hypothetical scenario.
they'll just swap it out for the next artificial sweetener

Thank you for that! As an EE and radio enthusiast, I feel like I have a fairly good grasp of how gravitational waves behave from that description. The way in which the mechanics of these different energies all sort of share characteristics is rather beautiful.
Affirmative action is basically robbing Peter to pay Paul. The beneficiaries weren't discriminated against, the people losing out weren't discriminators.

There is a problem--but it's a matter of why they aren't as qualified. Pretending they are isn't going to fix the actual problem.
To my knowledge, there are different levels of passing SafetyNet. I also use Magisk to hide root and use the safetynet-fix-module, but it still detects the unlocked bootloader. However, for instance my banking apps run fine as long as they don't detect root, but I hear stuff like Netflix will not work (which I don't care for).

According to John Wu, author of Magisk, it is not possible anymore to hide the bootloader/safeboot status via Magisk (https://nitter.lacontrevoie.fr/topjohnwu/status/123783055552...). I don't think that situation has changed.
Because as far as I can see, it is integrated with the default gas tank, so you don't need to stop to refill the built-in tank manually or worry about managing the two tanks separately.

So this extension functionally works as if your single tank just got larger. Might not be something that everyone cares about, but the value proposition over a jerrycan is clear.
Nobody cares about an “app” in the abstract except for the hustle cosplayers on Product Hunt. People do care about an app that does something in particular. If it is for doctors present at a conference on healthcare. If is for cross country skiers then find channels that reach those people. If it has a remarkable technology under the hood find people who are into that.

Generically you need to have at least one persona of somebody who would find the app useful.

So, the OpenAI model?
It is common, you just don't want to admit it. It's all over the western US and many, many towns have been impacted. Palm Springs and Joshua Tree aggressively responded for a reason. Because STRs, particularly in Jtree, were inflating home prices at an extraordinary rate and forcing long term residents out.
But it solved a problem that got in the way of selling you things!

It's also still used in most every prop engine that flies over my house everyday at a normal schedule, so we still haven't solved the problem of leaded gas. We never will (in my lifetime).
This has been an issue on Steam for ages, people call them "asset flip" games, because someone can buy a few $10 asset packs and piece together a game out of them.

AI generated content is not meaningfully better or worse than these low effort games, though taking the time to generate passable content with AI is probably a lot more effort than just using $50 worth of assets that are already packaged up for unity.
Interestingly, the inventor of leaded gasoline also invented freon.

I think it's disingenuous to say that cornmeal is just animal feed. Polenta has been a thing for a long time.
Yes, exactly: it's a policy decision. Congress could pass a law altering what affirmative action is allowed if they wanted a different policy.
This opens up one hell of an opportunity for Epic or a startup.
I think it's a mistake to think the intent is to benefit individuals of specific races. This has very much been something where the intended benefactor is American society in general.

As an example, I went to a good public school that had a policy where the top 5% of high school students were automatically given admission to the university. While this was technically race blind, it was de facto affirmative action, because a more poor high school is not as competitive as a rich high school.

At first, I too, thought that affirmative action was bad because racism of any kind is bad. However, it dawned on me one day that if this policy wasn't in place, there just wouldn't be many minorities at our university, and in a way I would be deprived off a well-rounded, diverse college experience.

Simply put, being exposed to a a rich, diverse student body is good for everyone, not just minorities.

I don't think it's really any different in how the American justice system doesn't exist solely to provide justice for victim or the accused. The most important beneficiary of our justice system, is what happens when you have justice for society. Sure, individual cases don't always have what is perceived as the "right" outcome, but that's considered acceptable in our system if the result is justice for society.
They don't seem to be asking for proof.

> we are declining to distribute your game since it’s unclear if the underlying AI tech used to create the assets has sufficient rights to the training data

So it seems that asserting "assets X and Y were generated by tool Z that has rights to its training data" would be sufficient. Presumably AI tools will also start to formalize that declaration alongside their terms of service.
Yeah, I do not understand this claimed basis of Equal Protection either.

Taking into account only equal protection, it would still be acceptable for a private institution to say "We want to limit our association with $RACE". Such a policy does not rise to the level of being law (notwithstanding that private institution being considered a de facto arm of the government, which is an argument I'm open to but doesn't seem to have been explored here).

If the reasoning of this decision hinged upon interpretation of the Civil Rights Act as banning "positive discrimination", that would make sense independently (I think a concurring opinion might be based on this?). If Harvard College maintained that it didn't want to be discriminating based on race but was being forced to by Title VI, I would see the link to Equal Protection. But as presented the majority opinion seems like a mismatch trying to somehow tie the issue directly to constitutionality.

edit: I think they're getting there by this chain: Title VI has provisions mandating equality. Due to the Equal Protection clause, Title VI's provisions that prohibit discrimination must also be construed to prohibit "positive" discrimination. Therefore Harvard is bound by this new interpretation of Title VI which prohibits it from engaging in "positive" discrimination. (contrast with simply ruling parts of Title VI unconstitutional and therefore null and void)

Ultimately this feels in line with the continued erosion of separation of powers as every activity gradually comes under the purview of the federal government.

It's a zero-sum game. There's no such thing as taking privilege "away" from Asian kids. If you increase the acceptance rate of some race, it has to be decreased from somewhere. There's literally nothing else that can be done.
