I really wish men and women could body swap for a day so we could better empathize with each other. Most men don’t really see that the world tells women “the most important thing you can be is pretty”. Whatever else you might have accomplished in life really pales in comparison to your looks. It’s just the way it is. This holds especially true outside the Bay Area bubble. Many of my wonderful male friends are just astonished at how much time and energy and money that I spend to be beautiful. I don’t think they understand how much society judges me on my looks. How it forces me to constantly compare myself to other women. How awful those moments are when I feel that I don’t have it. How women are acutely aware of and expected to “fix” our physical “shortcomings”: the hair on our face and legs and armpits and bikini lines and backs, our even-slightly-blemished skin (how dare we have pores), our thick ankles, our fleshy arms and stomach, our facial features (everything from thin lips to nose shape can be “fixed”), our hair color and texture, cuticles and unpainted nails on both hands and feet, callused feet, moles, under eye darkness and bags and wrinkles, thigh cellulite, breast shape, flabby arms, creased forehead and cheeks, short or saggy neck, unlifted lashes, low cheekbones, eyebrow shape, jaw and neck definition, etc etc. and especially, any signs of aging. We don’t ever become “silver foxes” or look “distinguished”- aging is the enemy.

In today’s world, the scrutiny of men’s appearance will never even come close to the microscope that women live under. Truly. An ugly man can make it way further in life than an ugly woman.

And worse, women are brought up to really care what others think of them, and to make everyone else comfortable at their own expense. So you can’t just “stop caring what people say”. That would really screw you over in this world.

I imagine that beauty is for women what money is for men. It’s our currency and often what makes us valuable to the group of the shallow “others” in this society.
Can I do some things with this ChatGPT generated private key?
ChatGPT created a valid private key, which can be vonverted in a public key and it's also possible to calculate the bitcoin address.

this is the private key: 5E7A55C41B0A6B8E7FC4808F4CE5EE853E0B5B510C795098B819E8700F4A3ED5

When I calculate the bitcoin address for this private key, I got this addrss, which seems valid: 13bfPkT2cdTkeHJZUZFjv82iP5N23rTzcb

Honestly I don't see how it would impact them significantly. Intuit already offers free file for the cases that would likely be covered by this tool from the IRS.
It does make visible how absurd the situation is. You might imagine an advertising system would require one or two cookies but it's so shocking to see that some ordinary site would have 40 third part cookies. Some of that is the use of these embeds from the likes of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and some of it is the "knives out" situation where nobody trusts anybody in the adtech universe and the answer is to have 10 different authorities collecting information and assume they can't all be colluding with each other. (e.g. everybody has a reason to understate or overstate views or clicks and naturally there is attrition in the pipeline so the numbers won't add up perfectly.)

While a cheap composite to HDMI adapter _can_ work, it likely adds several frames of latency which may or may not affect gameplay. This isn’t because of the composite to HDMI conversion, but because cheap boxes like this scale the PAL signal from 576i to 720p or 1080p. It may not matter for pong, but this can be up to several hundred milliseconds compared to original discrete
pong which would have had around 17ms latency from controller to display. It’s also possible that the arduino is outputting a 288p signal, like a lot of game consoles used to use, which the converter probably misinterprets as 576i which can lead to interlacing artifacts that most CRTs, for example, wouldn’t have.

There are several high end converters/scalers (Framemeister, RetroTink-5X, Koryuu Transcoder to OSSC) that introduce very little latency, but obviously cost significantly more.

For anyone interested in the messiness of PAL & NTSC signals and conversion to modern or even old displays, RetroRGB[0] is an amazing resource. It’s amazing to see how good old consoles can look, not only on current displays, but on CRTs with S-video or component inputs.

Not sure if there's vacuum grease that can work at very low temperatures, the upper stage of the cryostat would go to 300 mK and the lower stage to 20 mK, at that temperature non-metallic compounds tend to get porous. There are materials that can work in there but to my knowledge nothing that was an easy solution, at least at the time.

Programming mistakes made by GPT-4
Honest question: does the company one is applying to needs to know our age?

Let's say I'm 45 like you, but I cut my CV to include only the last 13 years (because I like to keep my CV one page only and because what I did 20 years ago is kinda irrelevant by now). On my CV I don't put pictures nor date or birth (this is common in many European countries). So, they interview me: in the video-call they cannot tell if I'm 45 or 35 (I have good genes), so they like me and proceed to send me the contract. They will only notice my age (if any) when they examine my national id or passport. But by then it would be too late for them (besides, they liked me, so I guess my age is irrelevant).

In reality, I'm 37 (but I look like if I'm 27), and I never ever have included my age or date of birth on my CV. I have cut some stuff from my CV that is not relevant to the roles I apply (e.g., graduation dates), and very old roles at the beginning of my career are not included on my CV anymore. So far nobody has ever asked my age.
Netflix, D+, HBO Max, Viaplay, SkyShowtime and given gaming and work related stuff are enormous time sinks anyway that's enough for me.
I don't see anything in OP's post nor the linked "why I built it" that would suggest ActivityPub or federation. What are you seeing that suggests that these terms are missing?
There doesn’t seem to be any easily findable screenshots or demos.

That’s a big red flag for me. I know this isn’t one, but that’s a typical strategy for ERP/CRM systems that look and feel like something out of 2002.
He wasn’t a psychopath, he was going through a complete mental breakdown during that year, and the actual details of what happened are murky. Some say he definitely put the apple there, others doubt it as he was known to exaggerate and make up stories. Cambridge got wind of the _accusation_ and then threatened to press charges but his father intervened.

The whole thing is a sad episode in his life, but no need to accuse him of being a psychopath. No psychopath would have changed his mind regarding nuclear proliferation like he did in his later life.
Thanks! And yeah I agree it's a bit mislabeled; the goal was to enable people to put up their own server as easily as possible, which meant plugging into those services. We are working on decoupling the backend so you could self-self-host it though.

Ok, cool - but, how?
But that is my point. They are both extremely talented but they are different directions of beauty and different directions of talented. If you limited your ideal of what was beautiful to being a Wagnerian opera, you'd miss out everything else, including other extremely talented musicians who are talented in a different way.

I don't make the point that there are /not/ millions of rightfully forgotten mediocre bands any more than I make the point that ugliness does not exist; ugliness certainly does exist and it certainly is common.

> I believe that infrastructure as code languages and tool assisted generators that we currently use are good, and they are taking steps in the right direction, but most of them are trying to patch over underlying complexity in a way that is fundamentally unscalable.

Sure, I can get behind this. Yesterday I was trying to figure out how to give a name to EC2 instances generated by AWS-managed autoscaler group that’s created by a node group resource. Simple, right? should just be able to add a Name = $tag field to the node group somewhere to apply to the generated ec2’s?

well, not quite. What you actually need is a separate autoscaling_group_tag resource.

Well, that resource needs a reference to an autoscaling group arn. but I dont manage an autoscaling group, my node group does, so in the end I have to figure out how to reference it like:

aws_node_group.node_group.resources.0.autoscaling_groups.0.arn

well, not quite, you may need a try block around that, and maybe some lifecycle rules to get around weird race conditions.

so yea. I’m not complaining about HCL or terraform. I find it much better than the alternatives. but lots of times my reaction to stuff like this is “there’s no way it has to be like this.”
I feel like this is one of those things that belongs in those news clips you see at the beginning of a dystopian or post-apocalyptic sci-fi film. It's just vague PR that won't actually do anything of substance.
Every time I hear how artificial intelligence with its "own motives" etc. are dangerous, I wonder how it's different from just dealing with people and animals.

Or to put it another way, I can't see how artificial intelligence could be any more dangerous than intelligence as we already know and have them.

Thanks! Supporting decentralised protocols is on the cards - initially I was going to implement ActivityPub first, but things got a bit complicated so I opt'ed not to build these for now.

I do want to eventually add Nostr and ActivityPub support. Ah, priorities... :P
I mean if you wire the output of GPT-x to a nuclear reactor it can cause all kinds of danger.

The thing that keeps us safe from computers is generally we don't let them have access to anything dangerous and when we do theres typically an evaluation of what can go wrong and how we'll prevent the computer from doing that (often in the other direction, we only program the computer to do X in Y situations). But sometimes that fails and you get the unexpected rapid acceleration of cars.

Thanks!

About the generics - some people have pointed out the same on reddit, and yeah, you are correct. The only thing that should be done is to read the Signature attribute that encodes the generic information about classes, methods, and fields (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-4.ht...)

As a matter of fact, I just did a test and the following code works! :-)

public class Generic {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<String> strings = new ArrayList<String>(10);
strings.add("hey");
strings.add("hackernews");

for (String s : strings) {
tempPrint(s);
}
}

Thanks to the timing, I strongly suspect that half of those four — in aggregate, not necessarily two of the four complete items — were from his wife, who was also brilliant.
That sounds like static content to me, what's wrong with just HTML?
Definitely possible in the future, although to keep the project focused I'd imagine using a plugin or fetching that content from a separate CMS tailor-made for that kind of content would be ideal.
What i think we really need:

1. A low-level, open-ended language for describing infrastructure; it should have absolutely no facilities for abstraction, should be human-legible and machine-readable (so based on JSON, probably), and should be applicable to everything from configuring physical hosts and switches up to containers.

2. For each kind of infrastructure, a tool which can apply that language to the infrastructure; one for AWS, one for physical hosts, one for Kubernetes i suppose, etc.

3. Tools and libraries for producing documents in that language from more expressive, concise sources; could be a YAML-to-language compiler, could be a classic Ruby DSL, could be a Python API, could be this guy's CSS idea, could be a GPT prompt, whatever.

Mostly, i want options for the last part to include libraries in sensible programming languages. Then i can just write real code, with full abstractive power, and the possibility of unit tests etc, to define my infrastructure, run it, and feed the output to the applier tool. No more enterprise YAML engineering. No more trying to shoehorn abstraction into Jinja2 templates. Just normal code.

Because the code produces the language, rather than operating on resource directly, writing a new library / DSL / whatever, based on a cool new model which will solve everyone's problems, becomes very easy. You don't have to build a whole IaC tool from scratch.

It also means you have an obvious and simple checkpoint to apply diffing, linting, security checks, etc. Not on the input code, but on the resulting document.

And it means you have one place you can always look to determine the ground truth of what is going on.
I don't know how long it will take, all told. I think VR has come farther than a lot of folks realize. Certainly hoping that folks buy this and it establishes a market.

I'm just far less sold on two points from Apple. First is the productivity angle. Is akin to the iPod being productive. Yes, it can happen. By and large, though, it is a consumption device. Would love to see numbers exploring that.

Second stickler is the attempt at using all gestures. Even Beat Saber benefits greatly from the feedback on my handles when I hit blocks. Having frictionless gestures just feels unlikely to be as nice as they demo. Reminds me of "Jedi" demos where you swing a light sabre. Neat, until you realize you can't pantomime getting blocked that well. Heck, even blocking is tough if you don't know when the block landed.

Used to love fly, then had a few issues.* The CEO wrote back in March they were working on reliability, but then you have this case study on what not to do in an incident response. 1) Fail to monitor your primary support channel. 2) Allow your support channel to become "private." 3) Not update your status page.

* First was some sort of certificate issue that cost me literally days of debugging that turned out to be their fault.
* Then weirdness around their v2 deployments where I just can't grok some of the documentation.

Just use AWS. Your time is more valuable then what you're saving on the fly.io free plan.

Defensive arguments like this are good, too.

But it feels like to really achieve successful political pushback on something of this magnitude, it really requires going on offense.

Wouldn't those operations reduce the accuracy of the time stamp?
Threads has access to 1+ billion Instagram users, so how's that for network effects? And next time Musk does something stupid, people will flood alternatives again.

This is why it was important to launch the application, even though it was clearly not complete. They just added hashtags by the way.
I don't see how majority of the stuff wouldn't be applicable for on-prem too?
Whilst it doesn't support ActivityPub, I do want to eventually look into that. In fact, initially it was going to be part of the MVP, until I realised it was going to take me too long to make it work, so I opt'ed to de-prioritise it for now.
DO actually does have a free tier! If you use their “app platform” (their equivalent to fly/heroku/render/etc) you can host 3 “static” apps for free. So if you have a Hugo/Jekyll blog or something, it’ll set up a whole little CD system for it for free.
Mostly the worst system you can imagine from power user perspective:
* banks won't let you use it without a bank app (there is one exception that will let you use only some only outgoing transfers through the web page) although it is technically not required
* giving out your IBAN is not a problem but I don't want to give everyone my phone number, and the temporary code is temporary
* don't ask what happens if you have multiple accounts and multiple phone numbers.
Yet more ammunition for my upcoming "phone divorce". I've had my eyes on a few different "dumb phones", and I plan to eliminate my smartphone entirely. I shit you not, it was easier to quit smoking than it has been to try to quit my phone.

It's just... a waste. The thing is a waste. It's a waste of time and focus that I could be spending on my relationships, on my hobbies, etc., instead.

So. I've penned up the "divorce papers" for my phone and I, to be signed next month. This article will be an exhibit before the judge.

Yeah, if they put watermarks on generated images then everyone will just immediately stop using their product and switch to a competitor.

The idea was to clean it and not have the unnecessary Google jump in there and possibly any tracking after a "?" element, not to make it as short as possible. I'm not going to click on a URL shortener from a stranger that redirects to who-knows-where.

Indeed. It sort of blows my mind that they cannot put a simple web UI up given all the resources they have at their disposal. To get midjourney, I need a midjourney account *and* a Discord account (I'm not a gamer).
