I understand the defensive posture many artists, writers, and art adjacent fields are taking, but I think they are missing the point (perhaps on purpose).

Does the fact your individuality might not be 100% replicable matter and also who does it matter too ?

I'd argue it really doesn't matter for most hollywood and consumer products. Art for art's sake is niche and irrelevant to the vast majority of people trying to scrape by. For example, people think sitcoms need to be funny, but that's not quite true. Lorne Michaels from SNL, learned the hard way that Sitcoms need to provide comfort first and foremost to be popular.

Art and writing will likely move back to the old world way of requiring patronage than relying on hollywood style consumerism as people use AI to create their own "comfort" food style media and fiction.
Disney has a similar setup - and you have to be working there or a ‘guest’ (aka customer) usually via a paid pass to get in.

It’s the same thing, just
with no customers being able to show up on site no?

Or do you think the company will allow randomly renting to non-employees in the housing? Or subletting or something?
(this comment probably isn't that interesting to anyone here, but it's an expression of how this article was useful for me, take it as a thank you :)

That's kinda what the sidebar is in my CMS is, which I settled on 11 years ago. I just skip the search part, or you could say I treat everything as a search (of either all nodes or the subnodes of the node currently viewed). Think wordpress tag clouds with taxonomies, and authors; If you click a tag, you'll all nodes with that tag, and the sidebar now shows only the tags and authors of nodes that have the currently tag. "Drilling down" would be too big a word here, because you can only have one tag and one author selected, but that's the basic idea. All author/tag is put into the URL parameters of relevant links, so you can e.g. use pagination or click an author and not lose the tag you initially selected.

I was kinda proud of it, but the code is horrible so I'm working on the successor, and this article got me thinking: I already plan on having more complex filters with AND, OR and nesting ("show all nodes that have author A and either tag X or tag Y, but not both tags, with tag Z" etc), but I probably totally generalize this, instead of implementing it for the stuff where it "makes sense" (tags, authors) to me now.

Because in some spots it might make sense to allow grouping nodes by title, or if they're a link, by the domain they point to, etc. images could be grouped by width, and it would be great to not have to care about that now, if I can just make it work with any metadata a node can have, be it "on" the node or in other tables that need to be joined, and make it configurable which properties are displayed and can be filtered for by default, plus a way for users to look at and filter by all the properties any of the nodes currently displayed have. Keep it simple, right?
Fiber and microwave work just fine. There's inequity but at least it's among the players. Radio spectrum is needed by real industries, emergency services, medical, normal people, etc.
"motivation to not solve the problem but to merely adapt it and bill the client again"

I am aware of this, and wanted to see if any one had similar opinions.
What exactly was the comment? Feels like the most important bit of information is being left out.
Gotta count sheep. You need to create noise in your brain while also letting that noise be something harmless that lets you sleep.
I recently bought some new bike hubs. There are many ways hubs can vary, many of which are critical for compatibility, so you have to get them right. Good faceted search makes this very easy, and its absence makes it agony. This is good:

https://www.bike24.com/cycling/parts/bike-hubs?menu=1000,186...

The worst sites would just have a "size" filter, with options like "135 mm", "quick release" and "32H", all describing different aspects of the hub!
Obviously this idea is dumb, but I'm concerned that it's the only realistic way to expand housing in the bay. The bay is currently short a solid million housing units, as far as I can tell there currently is no solution to this problem. All the areas that have already been developed are politically captured by NIMBYs that refuse to allow housing to densify. A giant conglomerate coming in and just throwing up a ton of housing on currently uninhabited land is imo the only solution other than the state or feds just unilaterally ending SFH zoning which I don't see happening.
I mean, of course it is. The customer is the advertiser.
> Might have been their only way of hardening the clay walls. We do it still to this day, except we burn the bricks before building the walls.

Adobe techniques, found in many different parts of the world, get along just fine without baking the clay walls, and the results can last for hundreds of years.

That said, I had an interesting conversation a couple of years ago with the head of a local (Santa Fe) company that specializes in historic adobe repair and restoration. They were called in to look at a monastery (either in the Arabic world or somewhere in S. America - I don't recall) which had just been "burned to the ground" in a fire. The walls were still standing even if the wooden roof beams, doors and windows were all done. The monks were worried about the structural integrity of the walls, but this guy assured them, given the now-obviously high-fired nature of the surface of the walls, that if anything the building was likely now stronger than ever.
Isn’t it land that’s gotten (unaffordably) more expensive, not houses themselves?

There are still places you can buy $50K or $100K homes in the US, which has a lot of land. But you’d pay 10X more in a desirable metro area.
You’re right. But fast-data USB-C cables are also thicker and stiffer, so there’s a UX angle too.

> One issue that I see is: I need to learn both Kotlin and Swift as opposed to Dart.

With Flutter, unless everything you want already exists, then you will have to do some Kotlin and Swift (when writing your plugins).

One question I always ask is: do you really need both Android and iOS? Can't you just start with one? If you start with Flutter and then rewrite in Android/iOS, that's 3 apps. If you start with Android and then add iOS, that's 2 apps.

I know people want the cheapest ("I only want to learn Dart"), but the best is usually not the cheapest. IMO, just start with Android/iOS, and continue from there.

>Think most people agree with (2) and (4) as well. They just don't like the implications re: society and God that come with it. To the extent they get rejected it's to preserve the viability of the notions they hold.

This also operates the other way, and links to your statement in #1. Most people want to believe in the idea of pre-determined concepts because it makes them feel special when they aren't living a lesser pre-determined fate.

There is zero evidence leaning to either side. It's much like the concept of god, where the only proof people can establish is that the concept exists therefore it justifies. This is a comforting thought to hold instead of sitting in the unknown.
As opposed to ham radio?
The main advantage is when you have degraded connectivity. Your client app behaves like an app (or app-like web site).
Answered elsewhere I think. But basically there are open source fonts now (Roboto, Open Sans, Liberation, Adobe's Source family) as well as distinctive fonts like Ubuntu, and a legacy way to get the core fonts.

Linux can (with quite a bit of pain) use font alternatives to swap in Liberation Sans for Arial or whatever (at least I assume that is what is happening)
The thing that gets me about the author's statements is the assertion that things things are 100% true.

If you said that these things are generally true, but have exceptions to these rules, then I would be more likely to agree. But I detest the kind of absolute-ist, black-and -white thinking represented here.

For instance, while physics is really good at making practical predictions about the physical reality of things we can observe, it mostly fails to describe why things behave as they do. It keeps trying to describe the underlying reality of the universe, but it's likely that the true nature of it is so much stranger than we can imagine right now.

Or that calories in vs calories out is the only possible cause of obesity. I agree that for probably 99.9% of people this is true, but to say that it's impossible that hormonal imbalance or other biological causes are not possible is just plain stupid. I know that lots of people think they are exceptions who probably aren't, but some of them actually do have more complex issues at play.
Seems like good proof that the GDPR != Truth
"On a national basis in 2019–20, revenues from local property taxes comprised 37 percent of total revenues for public schools."

Schools often operate on a shoestring budget. 30% more or less often makes a difference between decently founded school and a disaster. I don't think you can deny that local property taxes funding shapes US education and its perception.
>There are plenty of excellent open source fonts with full glyph support and perfect kerning etc.

that's not the problem, the problem is that there are 100x as many which are not excellent, have terrible kerning, etc. and sorting between them is really time consuming. Not to mention the category of "90% of the way there" knockoffs where you can't (because you're not an expert) tell till later that you're working with something really lame. If you're not a graphic designer, it's really difficult to navigate.

(and don't read that as an endorsement of graphic designers, hire those and you've just added a lot of form bathwater, out from which the function baby will be thrown :)
I would say to try one of the novel writing open source built AI's before you solidify that opinion.

They are advancing fast and furiously, my husbands D&D group uses AI for story telling and narratives, and it's been quite compelling, interesting, and dare I say even funny and insightful.
Jira itself may be fine, but the people that run your company's instance are almost guaranteed to be certifiably insane. Other comments here spell out why. This is one area where its super-flexible design works against it.
Just my own tangent but I found that Flashboys was a little too sensational and the book Darkpools did a much better job at going over what led up to some of the issues in the market. Not that you made this point but I found Darkpools to give a view that it is a lot more nuanced.
> The oldest evidence of archaic human tool in use is Java

I misread that. :)
Look, the "goal post" for artificial intelligence was set by the same person who helped birth computer science itself: Alan Turing; and anyone who thinks that ChatGPT could pass an actual Turing test--with the tester actively and intently trying to figure out who the computer is--is deluding themselves.

We could thereby argue that, if you want to try to argue that any of these systems are artificially intelligent--and, honestly, maybe they are!--you are the one "moving the goal posts", as it is certainly going to be a lot easier to claim the test is too difficult than to actually pass the test.

Regardless, people like this author who are then trying to figure out what it is that they think actually makes a human different from a machine are not merely coming up with "coping" mechanisms: ChatGPT is obviously not like a human yet, so it should be fair to try to analyze why that is.
None of these arguments are interesting. Some of them are done to death, like "efficient markets". Others are settled, like the VARK "learning style" model. I'm pretty sure "most people" don't have an opinion one way or the other about how much of the world the standard model explains. The effect of the whole piece is of engagement bait.
I can send you some example images of Foveon Merrill sensor if you want. The cameras are slow by today’s standards, but the images are delightfully detailed. Sigma is still working on a new full frame Foveon camera, I am waiting patiently.

Back to topic, I believe this type of tech (analog/physical computing, processing and memory in the same unit) will become very significant on a 10+ year horizon. Hinton has been hinting at some collaborations recently
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Democracy follows economic development, of the other way around. America and European countries all became more democratic after they became rich. Some autocratic governments can hinder economic development. Others, like in China and now Bangladesh, can be pretty competent about it.
There's a difference between being general purpose to a degree and having all of the cognitive abilities and characteristics of an animal like a human. For example, learning online very quickly and efficiently.

See LeCun's recent talk. He is misjudging GPT, but otherwise his research seems very promising.

Long time plex user,

Jellyfin has been on the upgrade list for a while.
I think what keeps me on plex is the level of integration.

i.e. home assistant, works on all my devices etc.

As much as its a little older, I find it just kinda works and I haven't really found any reason to upgrade yet.

also bought the lifetime pass so I get a bunch of extra features.

The company has been pretty decent with new apps and features.

I.e. the plexamp is amazing. Full poweramp like interface and feature richness from a self hosted music library. Feels like better self hosted spotify
The firing is energetically expensive, and doesn't really end up creating a notably longer lived result. Things last in the southwest because of the low moisture levels, whether they are fired or not. The "prestige" of brick in the southwest was all about having the money to pay for fired bricks, not really their superiority as a building material.
Honestly no good single resource, I spend 8 hours a week just taking notes from hackernews,discord, hackernoon, slack ai groups, reddit, github issues (probably the most useful) on various open source ai libraries.

It's real work to keep up on everything.
Sorry... comments on the Internet are always without any context so everyone just goes into the direction they see given their own context (which is what I did).
"but to say that it's impossible that hormonal imbalance or other biological causes are not possible is just plain stupid."

But, things like hormonal imbalances and biological causes would effect the "calories out" portion of the formula, no?
Eric Gill is another of those situations where you need to separate the art from the artist: https://amp.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2017/apr/09/eric-gi...
"Personal data is one of those things" - disagree.

When people say "Google isn't free, they provide it in exchange for your data" that is precisely saying that there's a market and a trade involved. You may not like that trade, in which case, don't use Google services...
"waterfall with sprints"!
This question of mine sprang into existence when a senior manager mentioned he is a water fall guy and still sees it good.
Well, we are stuck with people preaching Agile and people following Waterfall.
For people sleeping alone, this counting technique might be a nerdy alternative: http://www.dirk-loss.de/calmyourmind/

Moreover, I find Shinzen Young's reframing helpful: "Amazingly, it’s possible to get a good night’s rest without necessarily sleeping much or at all. Two things are required: (1) that the body get rest by lying very still and corpse-like. (2) that the consciousness get rest by engaging in a systematic focusing technique." https://www.shinzen.org/help-for-insomnia-yet-another-use-fo...

So: professional font nerds care. And there are pathologically bad choices to make that make pages unreadable to people with reading difficulties. I think my argument admits both of those amendments without really bending all that much.
That seems like a massive leap and the timing unlikely. I am sympathizing with this poster, does that make it likely that my mother is involved in something that should get her arrested in Bangladesh?

I have noticed a distinct Hindutva streak on HN.
I wrote [1] about my tip for falling sleep: Daydream. I now coach my own kids to do the same and it works.

Essentially do not think about things that has happened; It just gets you annoyed with regrets that can not be changed. Do not think about the future; You will get excited, anxious, annoyed and too worked up to sleep. Also covers sports, politics, relationship, technology etc.

Think about things that do not affect you as a dream. A fantasy world etc. That has nothing to do with you personally so that it is just calming but distracts you enough until you are soon asleep.

Do teachers as we know them even exist in a world where that idea of tutoring goes to scale ?

I don't think they do. It sounds more like a world, where in person testing and certification is extremely important when a human skill needs to be evaluated.
You're preaching that everyone should compromise their freedom in order to minimize mutation.

What difference does it make whether you, in particular, isolate yourself or not? My point still stands. I'm not judging your "privileges", I'm not even judging your holier-than-thou attitude and covert authoritarianism - I'm just stating my stance on the issue.
The people who use the cable will just think Apple products are slow or that Apple is a cheap company that cheaps out on their customers. So much for the user experience.
I’m not entirely sure what your comment is implying but there is plenty of affluence and quite a few millionaires in the North. If you believe only poor people live in the north that’s also a belief that’s wildly out of touch.

I knew of one company where it was uncomfortably stuffy after 6 pm when they turned the hvac off. The office was so crowded that there literally was not enough oxygen in the building.
Presumably so. You'd just need to compile the curl-impersonate for the appropriate browser you want to impersonate, and then link it in to a proxy that used libcurl for its https traffic.
Re : reshaped brains.

I think that's legit. Given the entire panorama of experience, the sights sounds, smells, feelings, thoughts, etc. People are moving into thoughtland and becoming alienated to all else. The office job, the tv, videogames, the computer, social media. All push you into living in your head. Our whole population turning into videogame characters, living inside a personal Matrix kind of thing. It's a kind of zombie apocalypse.

Re : willpower.

I think that willpower is applicable if that's your thing, but that's nobody's thing really. Most of us are just a leaf on the wind that way. What really matters is the various localized wind gusts, if you get my meaning. That's temptation. I mean, in the classic sense. Temptation sucking us in to dreams, distorting our perspective. And boy, the #1 product in our culture is temptation. Temptation by the trainload.
Wouldn’t surprise me either if the entire thing was scrapped
Well I'm not German so I can't really speak about what the AfD is about, and I'm sure there's a lot of actual Nazis voting for them. What is a topic however that is taboo because of association with Nazis is the influx of people with non-western ideals and values from Morocco and Turkey. Things like women rights, democratic ideals such as freedom of speech are under pressure as a significant portion of the population does not hold them. This problem is exacerbated when freedom of religion laws makes it so that subsequent generations are also educated with anti-western values. Mainstream political parties won't burn themselves on these issues, and the alternative political parties are often caught with Nazi's at their dinner tables.
They don’t, but they also have no reason to depose a popular guy who doesn’t step out of his lane—unless the US tells them to.

While the benefits of remote work are impossible to deny, something is obviously lost. In-person collaboration is just an order of magnitude richer than remote collaboration. I think the argument that the benefits of remote work outweigh the reduced fidelity of live collaboration is a strong one, but does still have this weakness.

I am just patiently waiting for some technology or innovation breakthrough (or series of breakthroughs) that closes this collaboration gap and effectively ends this argument. I've tried dozens of remote collaboration tools, and it's basically all shit compared to sitting in physical proximity to other people. Maybe it'll never happen, but I'm hopeful (though it still may be a ways off).

I'm thinking of things like: presence (knowing when someone is actually at their desk/truly available), ad-hoc conversations that drop in and out, swinging by someone's desk when they don't look busy or deep in thought, overhearing a discussion or debate that is interesting or that you can contribute to (or easily ignore), walking a few feet to a physical whiteboard to quickly sketch out an idea, visually noticing that a junior is struggling and rolling your chair over to offer help, having a colleague hearing you sigh loudly over and over in the course of a few minutes and stop by to see if you need help, friendly non-verbal or very brief greetings to coworkers as you pass in the hallway or make eye contact across the office but whom you don't actually need to speak to, and so on...

Has anyone found any really good live collaboration tools other than the typical slack/teams/etc?
You can't imagine that people will still be using something owned by a succession of companies which bought the other companies and their userbases to transfer them over to their own service while retaining the branding of the original, starting with another company buying Wordpress.com?
Depends on what you mean by "support you". You can install and regularly update Windows on any device that complies with certain standards and the general minimum requirements and Microsoft will provide you the same level of support as somone buying a laptop with Windows today (which is basically none, but neither does Google). There is no "supported device list" that Windows Update checks and refuses to run if you device isn't on it. At worst it checks a few system components (like the recent TPM).
