> Not impossible at all - classifier networks are much, much easier to train than generative networks. However you can’t directly integrate the logic into the generator, you’d have to train the generator against the discriminator network.

Generative networks are ime not at all difficult to train because the amount of training data is typically orders of magnitudes larger. In this case, the idea is to train something to classify images as high or low quality, which I think is just as hard as generating images. Regardless, if you had such logic, I don't see why you couldn't incorporate that into the network's own loss function? That's how it is done for L1 and L2 regularization and many other techniques for "tempering" the training process.

The problem is that you want the model to be creative but not "too creative" (e.g eight finger hands). But preventing it from being too creative risks making it boring and bland (e.g only generating stock images). I don't think you can solve that with a post-processing filter. Generating say 100 images and picking the "best" one might just be the same as picking the most bland one.
Still, it may be worth getting familiar with the software so one isn't frantically learning it all if and when we do have to start hiding it.
The Fokker triplane was so agile that it could turn around almost on a dime and face whoever was chasing it.
By "give their wealth to their children", Pinker doesn't mean "when they die".

He's referring to the more general observation that parents want to take care of their kids as well as they can. But they do that in a strictly unfair way: they prioritize their kids over all other kids simply because they happened to have spawned them, a property the kid has zero control over.

Gotcha. Thanks for the reply! To be clear, it wasn't a judgment but just a question to understand there weren't some unapparent reasons why. I think it makes total sense as a hobby and learning, but perhaps still overkill as the post title mentions. Haha.
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for sharing your past experience on dating apps! It is interesting that you have used them to support people, I have never heard of anyone use it for that purpose, but that is very altruistic of you haha

In fact, we tried making real-time conversation feature in our previous mini-MVP, and the difficulty there was that
1. people were too hesitant to jump in a phone call
2. people were never online at the same time
3. conversations could not be enjoyed by other listeners in different times.

I have tried using Clubhouse for a while, and did not like the dynamics there, where you would only have a few speakers talking at the same time like MCs while the audience can only listen.
I think by focusing on asynchronous voice messages, this platform can help individuals make connections with other individuals, which is not offered by any platforms out there.

I hope you continue to enjoy using it! And we would appreciate any feedback you have :)
And you’ll probably need a NUC out of pocket.
Maybe you missed my last sentence. I've been hacking on and off for a couple years on a side project I'd like to monetize, to capture some of my value add, while also giving back. (It's sorta "if you build it they will come" at this point tbh so I don't necessarily expect it to work). My project is sort of "OSS platform as a service" only I just deploy it for you and teach you to run it yourself, while jumping on a call occasionally if you need SRE for it, and continuing to iterate on tooling as well as make PRs to the tools as it makes sense. Vault and consul (as a vault backend only) are components I've used for that (via cert-manager so they're replaceable tbh) and I'm no longer sure if that's viable.

And generally as a contributor to the vault codebase, however small, I'm not thrilled they want to capture more value from it themselves while not offering me a miniscule chunk of that.

The whole cloud provider argument really feels a lot like Displaced Aggression. You're probably punishing the people smaller than you a lot more than you are the billion dollar cloud providers who can afford both expensive lawyers and can very easily afford to fork your codebases as we see with OpenSearch vs ElasticSearch.

Welcome to 2023! I've bought a house, incorporated a company, signed a work contract and contracted a lawyer just based on Adobe mobile wet signatures on PDFs.
Over the years, I think most people came to understand "open source" as something closer to "free software". However, that's clearly not the case for projects controlled by a single entity that require copyright assignments from contributors.

Copyright assignments are put in place for exactly this (allowing a single entity to relicense the whole codebase unilaterally based on their own interests), and we should maybe come up with a better term than "open source" for projects in this situation.
Show HN: Tetris, but the blocks are ARM instructions that execute in the browser
OFRAK Tetris is a project I started at work about two weeks ago. It's a web-based game that works on desktop and mobile. I made it for my company to bring to events like DEF CON, and to promote our binary analysis and patching framework called OFRAK.

In the game, 32-bit, little-endian ARM assembly instructions fall, and you can modify the operands before executing them on a CPU emulator. There are two segments mapped – one for instructions, and one for data (though both have read, write, and execute permissions). Your score is a four byte signed integer stored at the virtual address pointed to by the R12 register, and the goal is to use the instructions that fall to make the score value in memory as high as possible. When it's game over, you can download your game as an ELF to relive the glory in GDB on your favorite ARM device.

The CPU emulator is a version of Unicorn (https://www.unicorn-engine.org/) that has been cross-compiled to WebAssembly (https://alexaltea.github.io/unicorn.js/), so everything on the page runs in the browser without the need for any complicated infrastructure on the back end.

Since I've only been working on this for a short period of time leading up to its debut at DEF CON, there are still many more features I'd eventually like to implement. These include adding support for other ISAs besides ARM, adding an instruction reference manual, and lots of little cleanups, bug fixes, and adjustments.

My highest score is 509,644,979, but my average is about 131,378.

I look forward to feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and strategy discussions!
> they’re protecting themselves against cloud providers that have repeatedly abused the goodwill of the open source community.

So.. we're back to the beginning. Did they lose the home and turn to drugs, or did drugs eventually lead them to a place where they couldn't keep their home? If it's the latter, then simply gifting them a home changes nothing.

Further.. you're suggesting that without a home people _cannot possibly be mentally healthy_ and will ultimately be forced into alcohol or drugs. Do you really believe that? And again, if so, why do you believe this and did it come from some particular source?
Hey there, the app is closed-source for now.

There have been numerous employees, former employees, and even VP level folks who have said this direction comes from Red Hat, and not IBM.

I'm inclined to believe them, with the caveat that this reality may not have come to be had IBM never bought Red Hat. That still doesn't imply IBM forced the change.

Adopting Clojure in a Hostile Environment (2021)
Throughout the history of the last two millennia or so, most artists will have made art for patronage, for direct reimbursement (artisanal objects that happen to be art, or for the church or some noble) or for barter.

There will have been very few serious artists in history who could afford to do it for the love, because art materials cost money, and time making non-functional art is time not earning enough or working enough to live.

Art as a pastime is a very modern invention, surely.
That is
> The number of layers added to modern programming and computer systems has gone up significantly since the 80s. It's sensible to claim that a kid from the 80s had far less to learn to be effective in the world of the 80s, than a 20s kid would need today.

I'm not so sure. There's a huge electronics/hardware hacking scene nowadays fueled by Raspberry Pis and Arduinos. It might actually be easier today for a kid to learn what he needed to know.

I mean, back in the 80s at best the kid probably only had the manual, a couple of programming books, and maybe a magazine subscription for reference.
What worries me about proposed H2-powered aircraft I see is that they always show H2 tanks mounted inboard. The fuel takes more room than would fit in the wings, but inboard tanks seem like a grave safety hazard. Nacelles slung under the wings should be safer: in a crash, the tanks would shear off and be left behind. The plumbing is entirely in the wing, eliminating possibility of leaked H2 building up in the cabin.

Wherever LH2-fueled aircraft enter a market, petroleum-fueled craft will be immediately unable to compete. But building up on-site LH2 synthesis, storage, and delivery infrastructure at major airports will take a long time, and even longer at smaller ports. I don't know if the production process for aerogel is mature enough to use to insulate tankage and plumbing, but it seems an important prerequisite to mobile LH2.
Why not replace? So you don't have downtime. If it breaks now, the system is well known (30+ years) and maintained. If it's updated to something new, everything may be off until they bring back the old system.That could be months of no classes, which would be much worse than spending money to replace.

If they do nothing now, instead of taking a bet the new system will be more stable than the old one (a bet against the 30+ years odd) you don't have to have downtime.
You're citing a separate problem... the lack of representation for the lower class. This has nothing to do with decentralization.
Agreed. I was shocked at the cost of an induction stove top in the US when I looked recently. £350 buys you a great induction stove top in the UK (I paid less for a neff nN50 just before COVID). $1000 only just buys you an entry level one on the US.
You've got to be top 0.1% or something of the population. You're a total outlier.

This was the game for me growing up. It introduced me to clans, ladders, and really online gaming culture.

My map was The Edge and my weapon was either the rail gun or rocket launcher. I was on dial up back then so finding a server was good latency was critical. Most annoying of course were the folks using that gun that caused lag for everyone.

I know Q3 is the bigger game that perfected the genre but my favorite will always be Quake 2. Not only was there a solid single player + expansion packs, but the pace was just right for me. Everything got too fast when Q3 came around.
What are people's thoughts on using "_t" as a suffix for types in C/C++, as this source does? My understanding is that it is technically reserved for language defined types, but I haven't come across a reasonable alternative (and having no suffix makes for odd code, for example a custom type for a "viewport" is better imo as "viewport_t viewport;" than "viewport viewport;")
Sure, if they can sell as many as they want for twice the regular price,it makes Amazon less useful for me, but that’s up to them. My objection is mainly the sizable constant fluctuations.
> For example, if I have a device, which belongs to organization, HATEOS advises me to include a link to `organization` object and how to get there.

If it is a general purpose interface, you probably want at least one representation of devices that exposes the organization.

You may also want one that doesn’t, and you may not want any that do. There’s no violation of HATEOAS in having collections that link to leaf nodes but leaf nodes not linking to collections they may be part of.

All HATEOAS really says is that if you want clients to be able to get from the device to the owning organization, then you should include a link to the organization in the representation of the device rather than relying on the client interpreting the structure of the URI of the device to infer the associated organization.

Hypertext as the engine of application state does not have strong opinions on what navigation or state transitions are supported, only that those that are supported should be supported via hypermedia techniques of in-representation locators for location, methods with well-defined semantics operating against the resources at those locations, and representation types (e.g., media types), with each serving its particular purpose.

As a homeowner, the last thing I want to do is own and maintain the equipment to provide electric power. I will gladly pay a utility to take care of this for me. A home solar system with battery storage and an automatic transfer switch and interconnected to feed power back to the grid is a complicated setup and I want no part of owning or maintaining that.
Banning natural gas appliances doesn't stop natural gas production. It's a byproduct of oil production. Fly over any oil field, and you'll see natural gas being burned as a waste product everywhere. Only when natural gas prices go up do oil companies start capturing it to sell.
Debuggers have logpoints as well as breakpoints. Learning to use a debugger grants you access to this kind of basic "log-debugging" with the option to use more advanced techniques (traditional breakpoints, break on value change, etc) at your fingertips.

> Also, every new job I've had, I've watched my coworkers spend like a week trying to figure out how to make the IDE work with whatever environment, which then changes later... I just skip that.

A single week to achieve better productivity? That's a sweet deal. It's about as much time as you need to figure out how the work email works, learn how to get to the cafeteria from your desk quickly, and so on. It's absurd to think that you'll be 100% productive that first week anyway, so why not use the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the tooling as well?

That is very true, but haven't we already had cases of TVs spying on people without direct Wi-Fi access already? Also, most consumer routers are HOT SHIT and don't do much of what they claim they do.

I mean, we can pull data remotely from airgapped computers today via lights and other covert channels. What's stopping ShadyCo™ from using their companion mobile app for their NotSus line of TVs from doing data exfil from the TV to the app via Bluetooth/HF audio/some other non-WiFi connection and then going outbound via 443 from that app to a "trusted host" on the Internet?

I'm not saying it's happening all the time but we already have the capability to phone home without a Wi-Fi connection on the device doing the telemetry and people don't care. Hell- we can use background EM radiation from a house to precisely locate people inside the house from the outside and people don't care. Why care about telemetry with 5G when it's already an unchecked issue without 5G?

Also I think it would be super awesome if some megamind found a way to root a TV OS and install iptables, lol. Technically speaking there's no reason why this ISN'T possible- it's just not worth the hassle (for the exact reason you mentioned)
Why?

"Open source" has a clear meaning: the source code is open.

It does not imply that the source is free to see, free to modify or free to fork.

I'm pro open source, but I also have no problem that said source is not copyable, redistributable, etc.

To me open source is about _knowledge_ of how something is done. Period.
Inference only, as far as I know.

TBH the mlc projects were my first exposure, but they are all impressive, as are the bits of source I poked through. And the autotuning makes a huge difference in my quick testing.
It was so good that I would sometimes put the game disc in a CD player just to vibe.

Unfortunately that CD cracked, so I no longer have access to the music nor the game.
...or even Notepad.

I write a lot of pure Win32 C, and I don't even need a Makefile for the majority of my projects because they're just compiled as a single file and quickly enough that I don't bother with anything more than necessary.

IMHO the "tool fetish" that a lot of (mostly newer) programmers seem to have is an artifact of a mentality that favours complexity and novelty over simplicity and efficiency. They will waste tons of time and resources configuring and debugging (often with little understanding) huge complex monstrosities of "development environments", and end up feeling more productive, but in reality aren't.

This article just further confirms what I'd already expected with the word "modern".
A residential roof is too small to make that idea interesting to anyone who is looking to rent space for solar panels.
I don't think that's true for anything with a permissive license, only contributions to copyleft licenses. If I contribute code to something under the GPL then my contribution can only ever be distributed under something that is compatible with the terms of the GPL, the company cannot restrict those rights further in a new license without my consent to relicense.

If I contribute to something with a permissive license then it doesn't prevent the company from releasing new versions of the project under the BSL. The only restrictions on the permissive license is the copyright notices have to be included.
Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I tend to use CamelCase for types, and under_scores for variables. It does result in constructs like 'Viewport viewport;' but at least it's easy enough to tell that Viewport is the type.
If you choose to throw yourself on a public forum doing PR for a company doing dumb things and you also insult everyone's intelligence by lying to them, people are gonna be a little rude
MiniITX boards are low idle power, 17 watts for idle with a Ryzen 5600 compared to a full size boards 50 watts. I would no longer buy anything larger, even for a gaming machine.
For my past few C/C++ projects, my very enjoyable development environment has been:

* XCode

* Makefile

That's really it. If I found myself needing to set up Docker... I'd just go outside and garden instead or something.
Why not ban children from Internet and messengers instead? We don't allow them to have alcohol, why should they have Internet? Probably because it won't give a King an excuse to read his subjects's private conversations.
Sure, Crossplane leverages the K8s control plane for managing desired state for systems outside of the kubernetes cluster. It functions in a very similar fashion to terraform but it’s storing its own state in etcd instead of another state store. That makes GitOps + Crossplane play really nicely together and avoid the extra complexity that happens with terraform apply operations. They have a terraform wrapper provider for importing existing config and state.

It’s really nice to have infra and apps flow through the same pipes.
When the dust stops the storms will form. And unless there is some significant pattern change that sheds a lot of ocean heat expect storms to keep forming late into the season.

25k per unit, assuming the battery lasts 5 years, is uneconomically high at $5k/year per home.

A 100kw generator can produce enough power for 100 homes, costs ~$50k all in, and ~$1k per day in fuel costs to run during an outage. Assuming the generator also lasts 5 years, that's only $100/year per home, 50x less than the battery solution.

Batteries are for the foreseeable future way too expensive.
>I suspect this is what would be difficult to replace.

Nah, anything driven by relays and or pneumatic controls can be replaced with modern, low cost PLC hardware. It is common for old chemical plants to have their control systems replaced while still operating. Control is handed over from the old system to the new system (hot cutover) one control loop at a time. All you need is adequate planning.

Well, this project can use LLMs do decide routes to take then delegates to a path finding algorithm. That’s why it’s interesting IMO. There are increasing number of things that do that. But I would note the LLMs don’t have to use the tools - a new tool can use the LLM, and be the coordinator between tasks to solve. A lot of the challenges folks are struggling with is making a LLM reliably invoke APIs and stuff. I suspect doing that lobotomizes the LLMs just as guard rails and safety does. Better, IMO, is to manage the LLM in an extrinsic framework like this.
