We know about all of the potential harms that deepfakes can cause, the problems with inherent bias in training data, etc.

Creating/publicising a tool that winks at these issues (consider the difference between the poses offered for 'male' and 'female' bodies) but does nothing to mitigate them - and a lot to enable them - is irresponsible at best.
I am not convinced that leap years can be called "special cases", after all they are a known occurrence and happen roughly every 4 years (and they were taken into account - wrongly - in the code in the example), if something similar had happened with the divisible by 100 but not by 400 rule, that happens three times every 400 years (and that seems not have been taken into account in the code) I would have found it more convincing.

> And who said it must be installed by default?

I did end my comment with thoughts that I think it would be nice to have as an optional install. Mentioning why it isn't likely a default install is relevant because they want this Python feature to be accessible to everyone and they want people to collaborate and the UX for an optional install isn't what they were looking for and would complicate things. (That's not an argument against also supporting the optional install, but a reasoning for why the optional install is a harder feature to support and doesn't make the "version 1" cut.)
That's assuming you can even reach an actual human through support.

> I wish there were good incentives to build combined/intermingled housing to have more mixed neighborhoods.

I feel like there are natural incentives for building a diverse variety of housing in an area. You have to go out of your way to only build expensive single family homes in an area.

Incentives for building mixed neighborhoods: You get a diverse population in an area which means support for all types of jobs within the city as opposed to requiring people to commute outside the city for work. Fewer homeless people because cost of living becomes more manageable. Shorter commute/travel times for people who have to go outside the city since most people are commuting within the city.

Incentives for building homogenous neighborhoods: You and your children won't have to interact with people who can't afford to live there. Everyone gets to live in a single family house (whether they want to or not).

There is a tremendous amount of software created and maintained by Russian developers running on Windows, MacOS and Linux. One example would be NGinx which runs a good deal of websites on the internet. NGinx is now owned by F5 but still maintain the same developers. There is probably a better way to verify code, risk rank flaws and assign a level of trust. This should be an ongoing and ideally automated effort regardless of who is contributing code or hardware.

I personally would like to see AI be able to review entire code bases and see the bigger picture because state sponsored lawful intercepts are rarely one piece of code but rather require multiple pieces of code and sometimes hardware to work in conjunction to form the back door.

Not to dispute that but just for another point of view, I've lived in four different towns, varying in population from 1,300 to 120,000, all with very long winters, and they've all allowed on street parking all winter (usually alternating sides of the street to accommodate plowing).
I had a FreeBSD box with data on a gmirror of two disks for a decade. Twice in that period I had one of the disks die. Each time I would buy a new disk, add it into the array, and go on with next to no effort. As for cost, I would have had the box anyway, so it wasn't like i was paying for an extra system, just an extra disk. Cloud backup would have cost me several orders of magnitude more, this was a media library of hundreds of gigabytes, eventually low terabytes. Plus all the complexity of working backup/restore procedures.

Russia retains an (rapidly diminishing) edge in certain areas of space. One of them is engine design. China is still keen on buying the best Soviet engines, namely Energia's RD-170 and its variants but of course Russia is less than keen on parting ways with them.

Even CALT, the major launch vehicle provider in China, admits it will be well into the late 2020s/early 2030s before they can get an engine as good as the RD-170. Their YF-130, while technically very good according to recent tests, is still a bit less efficient. Think about that, a 40 year gap. Aerospace is hard.

If you're wondering how it's so fast and cheap and they can generate variants so easily, it's because they're using GANs (see the footer). GANs are way faster than diffusion models because they generate the image in a single forward pass and their true latent space encoding makes editing a breeze.

(And if you're wondering how it can look so good when 'everyone knows GANs don't work because they're too unstable', a widespread myth, repeated by many DL researchers who ought to know better, GANs can scale to high-quality realistic images on billion-image scale datasets, and become more, not less, stable with scale, like many things in deep reinforcement learning. See for example BigGAN on JFT-300m https://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.11096.pdf#page=8&org=deepmind , GigaGAN https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.05511 , Projected GAN https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.01007 , StyleGAN-XL https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.00273 , or Tensorfork's chaos runs https://gwern.net/gan#tensorfork-chaos-runs .

Why do I love this language so much having never written a line of it? Something about it is just so damn aesthetically pleasing.
It is pretty configurable. I don’t see why it should be worse (assuming of course you don’t have driver problems).

And the configuration is pretty helpful, for example I have an OLED screen, so I can get some power savings from making things mostly black.

Plus the hard drive can mostly be idle; you don’t have Cortana or whatever they call it now poking around for interesting bits.
Not class segregation, but racial segregation. Yesterday I flew to the Atlanta airport and from there to the Portland Oregon airport. Probably 75-80% of the people flying to Atlanta were black. I was in the airport for about 5 hours and 80+% of the workers were black. When it was time to fly to Portland, I looked around the departure area and realized that 100% of the people flying to Oregon were white and when I got to the Portland airport, I paid attention to the workers are realized that 100% of them were white. For some reason, I’d always assumed that cities would naturally have a diverse mix of people, apparently not.

I found the documentation of NeXT and Apple during the early days of Mac OS X to be pretty excellent to be honest. It was even one of the points that drew me to the platform. But then I only started with Mac after the takeover, so I don’t know how things were before.

Many clothing brands sell various quality of clothing at various price points using the same brand name. For example, I am currently wearing $25 Puma shoes from Costco, but I doubt they sell those on their official website, which is probably just their highest priced stuff.

“Outlet” malls in the US are also dumping grounds for lower priced and probably lower quality goods. They usually put a bigger, uglier logo and have wider fit so it does not compete with their higher priced products.

You didn't say much about your financial situation. If you went for something that paid half as much, would that be easy, hard, or impossible?

Do you have people depending on you? A spouse/SO, children, parents? People continue in jobs they don't like to provide for people that depend on them. My father did. It harmed him emotionally, I think. But I never went hungry.

That doesn't mean that you should stay. But it may mean that you have to have something as good financially, or close, before you leave.
Oh I'd imagine especially the rise of tabloid news has driven a lot of resentment towards the rehabilitation-based judiciary system in Scandinavian countries, but its still the job of a functioning government to protect its rehabilitation/evidence-based justice system. After all there are conservatives everywhere, attempting to cash in on law and order politics, doesn't help that with the rise of neoliberalism there comes an inability to address the aforementioned root causes of increases in crime (like a failure to address the causes of gang-related violence and failures in integration of immigrants in the case of Sweden) so the only answer is more punitive justice across the board and down the drain the evidence-based justice system goes.

What I'm saying is its not the evidence-based justice system to blame, its the root causes of crime that need to be addressed, if that fails, changing the justice system is addressing the symptom not the cause. That is what the united states is doing, resulting in inhumane treatment of prisoners and the highest prison population in the world, not something you really want to advocate for (at least in theory if you aren't conservative of course).

> work on a startup, I would THINK they would care about that

The decision is not made based on whether the work is a "startup" or not. It's not even clear what a startup is - some companies that are worth more than $1 Billion are still somehow "startup".

It's based on conflict of interest, legitimate business competition, leaking/selling sensitive information, and other concrete criteria, in my opinion, are quite fair.

Based on the top Substack authors, there is an audience willing to pay $5/mo for low effort opinions based on other people's investigations.

There haven't been any solid rulings on the copyright validity of human-driven AI generation yet.

Additionally, even if there's no copyright, the terms of service may still apply separately (see OpenAI disallowing training a competitor model on output from OpenAI models)

I am curious about the status of legal tender in such regions.

If someone were to owe a business a debt above €5,000, does the fact that they legally cannot accept payment in cash mean that they could legally refuse all proffered forms of payment ("sorry, we don't accept X"), and get that person declared a bad debtor for failure to pay?

The incredibly important thing about legal tender in the form of cash is that, if it is refused as a means of payment, the debt is declared void. It effectively cannot be refused.

Adding the application/component code to do ”good logging” is tedious. Friction in the interface decreases the probability it will be done well, and consistently. I think the interface matters, and while it’s a second order problem it does impact system quality in the long run.

Before social media no one had interactions on social media because social media didn't exist.

I had been living in the same apartment for years, and they never seemed to require any proof before sending me the papers asking for the local taxes.
Strong disagree. The government big picture sets heuristics that makes sense for a lot of people a lot of the time. Even when it's right, it does not take into account personal circumstance which is only knowable to the individual.
Show HN: Cashe - A money library written in Ada
Introducing Cashe: a Money library written in Ada 2022!

The purpose of Cashe is to give Money its own high-precision datatype taking advantage of Ada's fixed type decimal system[1]. This allows storing money, associated with a currency, at a defined precision with the choice of utilizing fuzzy or exact equality (see readme for more details).

It supports ISO Currencies[2] as well as Custom-defined currencies[3], and even a working Currency Exchange[4].

You can install it using Alire, which is Ada's package manager with a simple `alr with cashe`

There's quite a bit of examples in the readme if you would like to see what the code looks like, but I also gave full code examples for almost all of the functions in the API Documentation[5].
