If you're working really hard to prompt the AI into generating a piece of compelling art, I'd argue that you're the artist and are using it as a tool. The key is that you're putting in effort and it's driven by an artist's intent. The artist is not being replaced.

This is more like photography. A camera is just a dumb box that records images, but in the hands of an artist it can be used as a tool to make art.

People were really afraid cameras would replace artists too, but they didn't. They replaced portraiture which was when painters would try to render photorealistic portraits of people and things, but they didn't replace painting as art and in fact opened new avenues to art.
I view rich and non-rich people equally. Many are moral, many others are corruptible. Among the latter, it’s harder (more expensive) to corrupt a non-rich person
We've dealt with this problem before: Historically all humans being "people" is a relatively new concept in of itself. I'm sure there's going to be growing pains there, but I think we'd figure out how to cope. Hopefully relatively quickly compared to that example.
I think it's because the CIA has been a very self-similar group for decades (Mormons). They have blinders of their own.

Is there a reason why your code isn't open source? I like your mission, but it's very unclear to me why your codebase isn't open and I'd 100% be much more likely to try to help out if it were.
I appreciate it, and I'm glad you liked the song
I'm assuming this is only because it's getting harder and harder to find qualified people and adding on unreasonable constraints is only making the situation worse.
Referencing Portugal feels weird. Most reports I see are still very favorable to the outcomes they are seeing, is that changing?

Decriminalizing doesn't change people with a drug problem into not having a drug problem, true. It does, at least, free them from also having a legal problem. Idea being that they can seek and get treatment for their drug problem, now. Something they can't do when it is criminal. (Indeed, reading the Wikipedia page for Portugal shows increased treatments as their first bullet in favor.)

I'd also guess that it makes it easier for treatments to be offered. As, right now, offering help there is basically aiding illegal activity.
This feels like you're measuring lines of code as productivity, but most experienced engineers would disagree that lines of code is a good metric. Am I misunderstanding your assertion?
China spends nowhere near as much as the US on basic research. The US spends $100 billion on basic research annually, compared to $25 billion in China.

However, total R&D is quite a bit closer, with the US spending $660b to China’s $556 billion. [1]

This assumes everyone's primary motivation is $, which just isn't true. I've known super bright and talented people who gone off to wall street or FAANG for big $, but I've also known equally strong people who turned it down for low 6 figures doing the research they wanted to.

In both cases some are very happy with their choice, others not so much.

Average car in the US is 12.2 years old. To offset cars purchased yesterday someone needs to be driving a 24.4 year old car to average 12.2 years.

As to electric demand, “The average miles driven per year is 13,489 in 2021.” Efficiency varies, at say 4 miles per kWh that’s 3,372 kW per year, we’re talking roughly 0.38 kW bump that to 0.4kW per car * all 762,883 EV’s sold in 2022 and your up to 305 MW nationwide. Meanwhile this single reactor is putting out 1,100 MW so ~3.5 years of EV sales at the current rate.

Critically unlike watching TV people have a great deal of flexibility when can charging EV’s and therefore mostly use cheap energy Aka when other demand is low therefore minimizing risks of brownouts.
Yes, but it's currently in Phase I clinical trials which should be complete by March.
You will always have a conflict of interest.

I remember there being a desire to build a concrete plant near my house when I grew up. When the council running the town had to put the meeting in the largest room they had, and people started poking through the whitewashing... it went away.

If I was a member of that zoning panel, I'd still not want it there. But if it is the best spot for the town... I am in conflict of interest.

These type of conflicts happen ALL the time.

People will never be lily white, and have no conflicts. And from what people are saying on the size of the deal, etc.. .it may have been in the works before he became PM. These type of deals don't happen over night.
For the software to schedule the fleet at FedEx, I wrote in PL/I on CP/67 (control program, i.e., virtual machine, for the IBM 360/67, with virtual memory) CMS (conversational monitor system, the user interface) on a 360/67 at National CSS time-sharing in Stamford, CT. Right, VM/370 was from CP/67! I wrote the code from my living room while teaching computer science at Georgetown U.

Then in Memphis, one evening used the code to develop a schedule for all planned 33 airplanes for all planned 90 US cities. The next day two representatives of BoD member and crucial investor General Dynamics went over the schedule carefully and announced to the BoD that "it is a little tight in a few places but it's flyable". Until that schedule, due to concerns of some BoD members, scheduling had been a show stopper. But with the schedule the BoD was pleased, crucial funding, equity and also counting loans on the planes, etc., $55+ million, was enabled, and FedEx was saved until the next such BoD crisis.

I solved the next such BoD crisis with the differential equation

y'(t) = k y(t) (b - y(t))

and for this one, for the computing for the data to draw a graph of the solution, used my new HP calculator I'd paid $400 for! There the BoD wanted some revenue projections.

NCSS was expensive, but I enjoyed using it AND PL/I! It didn't use 3270 communications and, instead, used asynchronous bits on a phone line and a portable terminal with heat sensitive paper in rolls. The terminal was from Execuport and supposed to be portable. Actually, it was delicate!

It is just staggering how far computing has come since then! Hardware, operating system software, APIs, user interfaces, communications, YES, but applied math, algorithms, and programming languages, not as much and, thus, seem more fundamental!!!!

It's so easy/cheap to use low-spectrum cannabis oil in edibles, and most uneducated/recreational users can't/won't feel the difference between how THC feels, compared with all of the compounds you're supposed to have together when using cannabis.
I'm not from the UK, so I don't have a deep understanding of the dynamics of politics there, but it seems like avoiding all situations where even the suggestion of impropriety is impractical for just about everybody who might be in a position to be PM.

If you're in a position of power, you're going to have relationships where there might be the appearance of impropriety for anything - and you may not even know there would be the suggestion of impropriety until after the fact.

Infosys has 40 clients w/ greater than $100m/year contracts, which they don't enumerate individually, but from skimming the internet, it looks like oil and gas, banking, manufacturing, and tech companies all potentially fit into that bucket - so should he recuse himself from everything that is related to any of those industries?

Before he was married into Infosys, he was a banker and presumably has lots of relationships with these large companies regardless - should he recuse himself from anything that might touch any of those large companies? Not a rhetorical question, I'm trying to understand what the criteria is.
But the leverage is granted by the CIA being strict in the first place. If it wasn't a condition of denial it wouldn't be a condition of denial and wouldn't hold the leverage power it is meant to curb. Crazy
TIL that’s the standard for when eg a camera signs a photo, and then editing tools can further sign to continue the chain of provenance.

My money is at (a) this won’t be universally used and (b) “laundering” AI content is just about removing the signature, and nobody will ever care. In fact, the signatures will be removed unintentionally by copying, downscaling etc.

Even if all media editors and viewers of sorts were to use it, like some sort of authoritarian wet dream, breaking that DRM would be top priority for hackers and since many if not most keys are client side it’d be trivial to crack and spoof anything.
This is off the top of my head ;;

We could use a reverse-mycelium method of acruateley mapping actual climate change, as opposed to NRO satellites with filter information.

Create a sensor (this is the reverse mycelium part) - which is effectively the FRUIT of the mycelium plant - the Mushroom.

These sensors havea range of features, but they measure aspests of soils, light, air quality, etc...

And they look like solar garden lights - but they then talk back to a system whereby they all compare notes - the Mycelium - and adjust and then are read to predict the patterns based on inputs from the other sensors of windflow with particulate...

YES this is what the NRO and the NROAA(?) [people that look from space] do - but here you just start deploying such systems such as PURPLE air monitors do...

Or adding features to those...

I think we can have a much more fine-tuned climate model if the air sensors were made larger, deeper penetrating into the earth and be able to correlate a bunch more standard measurements we typically take for a specific are (Ph, moisture, elements that can be detected, rainfall, etc - we need "smart land bouys"
ROCm only officially supports a handful of server or workstation cards, but it works on quite a few others.

I've enabled nearly all GFX9 and GFX10 GPUs as I have packaged the libraries for Debian. I haven't tested every library with every GPU, but my experience has been that they pretty much all work. I suspect that will also be true of GFX11 once we move rocm-hipamd to LLVM 16.

> It feels like everyone is now choosing its side. You can’t stay in the middle anymore. You are either dedicating all your CPU cycles to run JavaScript tracking you or walking away from the big monopolies. You are either being paid to build huge advertising billboards on top of yet another framework or you are handcrafting HTML.

Is that happening? I feel like there's a ton of middle ground, and it's only ever expanding. My personal website isn't a huge JavaScript app tracking my visitors, but I wouldn't really call it handcrafted HTML. I'm involved with a bunch of communities that aren't overly corporatized but don't take a big principled stand against it either.

I prefer Maggie Appleton's diagram of the web [1]. The click-obsessed corporations are what she calls the "dark forest of the clear web". But below that there are email newsletters and RSS feeds, there are personal blogs and digital gardens, there are communities run on Discord and Slack.

As someone with zero interest whatsoever in animal breeding, this kind of restriction seems way too draconian and incompatible with a free society. I'd rather have there be too many stray animals forever than for that to be implemented.

Don’t disagree with this, though.
I think TipTap is really cool (and congrats on the launch!), but I hope you won't begrudge me a worry:

I see from your home page and pricing page (https://tiptap.dev/pricing) that you've switched from wording that says "You are free to do whatever you want, TipTap is licensed under MIT" (with support for premium paid plugins), to TipTap being free* (no Credit Card required), and no mention of the MIT license.

This makes me extremely worried that you are eventually going to go the TinyMCE / Froala / CKEditor route, which has made me very hesitant to now use these editors.

I completely understand that WYSIWYG editors are extremely hard to maintain, but on the flipside I now am worried about all the projects I've added / started to add TipTap to. Can you help assuage this worry? Will the core plugin remain free and MIT licensed forever, and not reliant on some sort of usage model outside of premium plugins?
Yes and no. It's very minor outside of the US except for some island nations in the Pacific.

Mormon membership numbers of actual adherents are likely 20% to 40% of membership claimed based on "inactivity" rates (and people leaving).

Not really, it was experimental and only released recently (end of last year?). You can't really build experimental features with potentially breaking changes or even a complete removal into a CI pipeline without a lot of risk.

The main issue with Cypress handling this is, from what I understand, one browser per domain which can cause huge memory usage (which Cypress already has an issue with). Once you try parallelising multi-domain tests you run out of memory on developer laptops pretty quickly :(

But yes ultimately you are right, multi-domain is available, it's just those edge cases that get you once you go beyond simpler cases.

Isn't the 'hey man' a bit of a leap? From the username it's hard for me to tell, and the profile doesn't mention preferred pronouns.

I don't want to start a fight, and basically agree with your comment. It's probably because I'm trans that I really notice pointlessly gendered language, and I just want to mildly make you aware that if you wrote 'hey man' to me (by mistake, no malice presumed) then I'd be a little crestfallen.

I know old habits die hard - I myself used to use such language. So I don't want to be too harsh, and equally, maybe you know more details such that the 'man' is justified. But your comment is ultimately about manners, so I think it's appropriate for me to point this out.
That resource tells us what the code people use looks like, but it doesn't tell us how rustc behaves with it. Crater lets us tell if we've introduced a regression on features people use, but it doesn't tell us for example that compiling tokio got slower or faster, or that there's a high prevalence of code with large types, so we should focus on optimizing those. It also doesn't tell us how rustc behaves on code that is being modified, which will be incomplete/broken/weird. That kind of code is never committed to a repo.

> First, the argument that electric vehicles are more expensive than comparable combustion cars is somewhat exaggerated. The issue large stems from the decision to electrify only the most profitable and physically largest models. For Ford, that would be the F-150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach-E.

so the argument is correct, in that they are more expensive? so they should make cheaper, smaller electric cars would be the logical next step. electric cars at this point are a luxury item, and saying people cant afford luxury items because they aren't being paid enough is _technically true_ but that is misleading.

maybe they should start blaming poor fiscal policy of the federal government given the govt is meant to look after its people, not automanufacturers.

What Is a Senior Software Engineer at Wise and Amazon?
Nothing about the 4-paragraph blog posts he makes is advanced. It is in fact a remarkably basic lesson of "monitor your services" that even a 16 year old developer would know. I think he is just used to talking down to idiots because of his job, maybe.

No offense to the dude if he happens to be reading this, but less quantity and more quality please. I'm sure you're very smart.

Alternatively, maybe HN can let us blacklist domains?
Language divergence is kind of insane. I heard a person say in conversation "I didn't get a picture of it because I didn't have my phone with me." And thinking about how that would be interpreted, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years ago is pretty funny.

There is a funny comedy bit in the movie "Sleeper" where Woody Allen's character is explaining what things were for to scientists in the 23rd century. But today it is even wilder.

What really strikes me is that it isn't "slang" that we're dealing with here, it is actual kind of "things". I thought we had peaked with pet rocks but I was so, so very wrong.
This looks great, thanks

That's a really underestimated class of drug, to be fair.
Apparently many of the commenters here are not familiar with the concept of a blind trust[0] or of people in positions of power recusing themselves from decisions in which they have a conflict of interest[1].

Basically, working in positions of governmental power should not have any kind of financial interest in anything they have power over, otherwise it will muddy their ability to govern in a way that is the best interest of the public.

I'm a bit disturbed that this is not common, accepted knowledge.

>What privacy concerns?

The core thing to understand here is that what constitutes their concerns is not your decision. It's theirs.

You don't know what they put in their code. Maybe they did put their bank account in a function name. The tool won't tell them they shouldn't have done that, and there's currently no reason why they shouldn't if they're just playing around.

Similarly, you don't know what they're doing or how doing that might expose them in ways they might care about. If my country decides to outlaw something and starts looking for mentions of it and jailing people, your decision yesterday could endanger me. This happens with some regularity, and you can't reliably predict the topics that get targeted.

I generally approve telemetry for tools because I know how useful it is. But I see no reason why that should be your choice instead of mine.
I do not use Rust, so sadly I have not.
"Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

An alternative is to find a different article that's more focused on the point you think is important.
