On the commit they referenced[0] you can view the gifs by clicking the overflow/details button (three dots) in the title bar and clicking view file. The target (which I believe is the original) is a shirtless, very young girl cropped at just above the breasts. The output looks to be a slightly older young women. I can only speculate, but this could be interpreted as a kind of dog whistling or subtextual illustration of use for child pornography-related doctoring. I don’t think it’s far-fetched to argue the example is at least borderline inappropriate when there are plenty of other reasonable examples the commit author could’ve opted to add instead. Perhaps this was a catalyst for the maintainer to consider how much worse it could’ve been and decided they’d seen enough to know they should get out now before they encounter something worse.

Since I’ve been exploring ML image generation I’ve seen an alarming amount of disturbing imagery with young girls or hypersexualized, extremely young women as the subjects, and I’ve encountered it without seeking it out in any way. It’s just out there on certain smaller AI gallery sites, which I will not promote here, alongside normal content. On one recent occasion I saw what I could only describe as “soft-core” child pornography. It was enough to make me close the site immediately, and I’m not what most would describe as a prude.

I have to imagine that over time AV1 will get better CPU and hardware acceleration as happens with h264. Not sure measuring “carbon footprint” is too elucidating.

I once got an offer to buy glasses on installments - zero interests but as long as I was paying them off I would have a free insurance. If I paid the full amount I didn't get any insurance.

Was totally a no brainer, and a no brainer.
Switzerland has a national payment network called Twint, created by the Post, that’s based on QR codes. I think the bigger challenge is getting cell coverage to all of these remote peaks.

This is all true, but even if you don't care about reproducible builds that doesn't mean that nobody cares about reproducible builds. And the people that do care about such things care about them very much. To the point that if you don't offer it to them that they'll go somewhere else.
As expected, you (and the GP) don't have any answers. You're just bloviating because you're leftists.
> There was never a plan for Brexit to boost low-wage sectors.

It was pretty much the same plan that has worked for 3 centuries in many countries, especially in the UK.

Unfortunately, everyone in government (and more so the civil service) is too bourgeois to care about basic things like "do we have enough electricity" or "why has private investment in the agricultural sector been so poor since 1997?".
this is actually required in some finance-centered fields in the US, because historically many frauds/ponzis/etc have fallen apart when their key players happened to be out-of-office or incommunicado for a few weeks, and a fresh set of eyes got to look at the books.

> Vacation Policies

> Banks should have a policy that requires all officers and employees to be absent from their duties for an uninterrupted period of not less than two consecutive weeks. Absence can be in the form of vacation, rotation of duties, or a combination of both activities. Such policies are highly effective in preventing embezzlements, which usually require a perpetrator’s ongoing presence to manipulate records, respond to inquiries, and otherwise prevent detection. The benefits of such policies are substantially, if not totally, eroded if the duties normally performed by an individual are not assumed by someone else.

> Where a bank’s policies do not conform to the two-week recommended absence, examiners should discuss the benefits of this control with senior management and the board of directors and encourage them to annually review and approve the bank’s actual policy and any exceptions. In cases where a two-week absent-from-duty policy is not in place, the institution should establish appropriate compensating controls that are strictly enforced. Any significant deficiencies in an institution's vacation policy or compensating controls should be discussed in the ROE and reflected in the Management component of the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (UFIRS). Note: Management should consider suspending or restricting an individual’s normal IT access rights during periods of prolonged absence, especially for employees with remote or high-level access rights. At a minimum, management should consider monitoring and reporting remote access during periods of prolonged absence.

It used to be that anybody could issue CVE for anything, which lead to some pretty bad CVEs. But now there's a CNA program in place, and has been for several years, where the organization can register as a CVE source for a product or a set of products, and nobody would be issuing CVEs for those products. Not sure how 2020 CVE even got in the system - you shouldn't be able to reserve 2020 CVE now, so it appears as if somebody got a CVE ID reserved three years ago and just decided for some reason to publish it as curl CVE. Not sure if the current system has any protections against such abuse...
From my experience llama.cpp doesn’t take full advantage of parallelism as it could. Tested this on an HPC cluster - increasing thread count certainly did increase CPU usage but did not meaningfully improve tok/s past 6-8 cores. Same behavior with whisper.cpp. :( I wonder if there’s another backend that scales better.

Very, very wrong. I know numerous homeschooled peers who have advanced degrees, including PhDs.
Before Brexit, recruiters would come to Italy to hire medical university graduates. My friend while at uni found a job working as a radiology technician for an external NHS contractor. The pay was great, he also had a company car to basically sit all day in the hospital.

This is how badly the UK needed doctors, before they decided to close the doors to immigration, thinking people like my friend were stealing jobs to more deserving British radiologists.

"managers" -- if there are managers on top of the maintainers, then, yes, it won't work.
I'm failing to see how this is relevant then. You say the issue is with macros in the first place, but then it turns out you're actually referring to other macros and have no alternative to the macro that actually created the problem. What am I missing in your reasoning?

Sibling response is correct, just a silly acronym summarizing parent's off-the-cuff list of note types.

I meant it as a joke, in comparison to e.g. PARA or LATCH systems. The funny thing is, listing out all the different types feels much more useful to me than any other "note taking system" idea. It would lead you to design different UIs and workflows, depending on the type you're currently working with. I use several of them, sometimes via different tools. Being more aware of and explicit about the types seems like a good thing.
Not advisable because confidentiality is the norm, or another reason?

Just curious
Elixir, really? That sounds amazing. So many of these tools are TS or Python only.
There's plenty of small EVs that people who like small cars buy and enjoy. Maybe less so in some places e.g. I don't think the ID.3 (which I wouldn't even consider particularly small) didn't get released in the USA because there wasn't enough demand for a car of that size.

Thanks for the correction, I misremembered that, it seems. On the other hand, an SEP holder not licensing the patent with FRAND terms will have a hard time to establish any kind of standard, in some scenarios.
USSR collapse was disastrous whether you agree with it or not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Soviet_conflicts

And on top of that go over what every post soviet republic went through after USSR collapsed.
Those countries were under dysfunctional system for 70 years and suddenly they're being thrown in a 180 turn economy without any institutions.
Also keep in mind that majority of republics were left on their own and had to become satellites of Russia if they wanted to survive.
> I assume because you were not running it for internal business only but were attempting to distribute or white label/SaaS it?

Yes, we wanted our customers to be able to set up integrations themselves. We didn’t care about white labelling it, we just needed to a) modify it, b) self-host it, and c) use it commercially. Something that open source is ideal for.

> Isn’t $50k about 3-4 months of one dev’s time (assuming fully loaded costs)?

Yes but that means absolutely nothing if you don’t have the budget for it, or even if you do have the budget for it but there are more valuable things for your developers to work on, or if you do have the budget for it but it isn’t worth that much. In our case the value provided by n8n wasn’t anywhere near $50k/yr. And, more to the point, $50k/yr is $50k/yr more expensive than open source. It would have been worth using if it had been open source, but it wasn’t worth using at that price.
I was not even aware that PWA can be submitted also to the store. But yeah, it's crazy that there does not exist a way to yank/cancel latest release so that no more phones would get the faulty update at least. I was not aware of that possibility before it happened and I hope that this article is a lesson to others too if nothing else.
I mean it greatly depends on the quality and dedication of the parents doing the homeschooling.

I never considered it for my kids because our public schools are pretty good, and I did not feel I had the experience or resources or time to do any better. But some people have more of a passion for it and find answers to those issues.

I'm sure there are kids who are poorly homeschooled, but your anecdote does not meany anything in the big picture. Shall I tell you about all the public-school kids I met who ended up flunking out of college?
I think there's a different kind of "plenty fast" that more closely aligns with "as fast as it can be." If you develop some code that runs at 90% of the theoretical throughput, I'd call that plenty fast, even if the theoretical wait time was 100s of seconds. The rust compiler does a lot of stuff that simpler languages don't do. I would accept that level of checking to take longer while still being considered "plenty fast". Making that argument would require some serious benchmarking of the rust compiler though.
Interesting, I perceive the UK as one of the worst paying for doctors in the Anglosphere.
Apple is pretty good at creating network effects.

>So, as a hobbyist, I wouldn't be getting my hopes up for 2024...

Meh, if you're a hobbyist you can migrate to any other ARM board you can find on the cheap in your area. No need to pigeonhole yourself in the STM32 ecosystem.
Then those cars should not ever get homologation, because they are not fit for roads.

That is the difference between the up-line-or-history and up-line-or-search functions that I linked above. The default Up binding is the -history function, whereas the -search function in unbound by default. There are pattern variants too, if you don't like the prefix only checks.

If you also need to mimic the fish behaviour of C-r mid-command because your suggestion wasn't correct, then that does need a custom function to bind to C-r as you have to provide ${L,}BUFFER to populate the search pattern like fish does.
Right, so it prevented freeloading. It’s working as intended. Still usable for those who want to eject from the hosted platform, but if you make money from it, n8n should get paid for that value. You’ve proved the point of why open source would’ve been a suboptimal license for them to use.

Open source was intended as free as in speech, not free as in beer. “Open source because I don’t want to pay something” is…not great.

A relative is homeschooling their kids, and they’re not doing a great job of it academically, but those kids are some of the sweetest, most light hearted and caring kids I’ve ever been around.

I learned some socialization at public school, sure. I also learned what it was to have a bureaucracy just roll over you because nobody involved cared enough to notice you were there. Those kids will have that experience eventually, but I’m all for delaying it.
It seems like a job for AI (as it is today).
I have cut out all forms of caffeine including soda and chocolate, yes. It's great, I feel well rested. If I want soda or chocolate, I make sure to have them before noon, but even still, it's actually noticeable the next day.

> generating false information is easier, faster, and cheaper than generating true information

I'd prefer having pockets of false information than a government decreeing what can and can't be said, as happened with covid. Once you have an official version of truth, those in power will manipulate it to their will.
> “I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

I’m just a pleb but is there no way to store wine? Refrigeration or something?
That is funny!

One lame scheme I ran into was a basic try to load deliberately bad sector check.

If bad, run game.

If good, fail.

But, they did not check for any specific error! Any error would do to start the game, which was ULTIMA 2.

Because of that, anyone could copy the game disk and cause a disk read error to happen at the right time to play the game.

The easiest thing to do was open the drive door, wait a bit, then close it to see the game load normally.
I can think of many searches that do not at all make clear which ads I would find interesting.

I don't think anybody is claiming you should be tracked against your will. The more interesting question is if we should force everybody to oppose tracking, which is what's happening now, with the consequence of less relevant ads being shown.

I don't work for Google, I'm just annoyed that the ads I'm forced to watch are getting less and less relevant as a consequence of (well intentioned) privacy measures.
I’ve shared revenue milestones for a couple years but have been silent for a while now. It was an excellent way to attract some attention but also to motivate other developers that they can earn money building something they love.

Downside is that sharing revenue can attract patent trolls and it invites copy cats to clone your product.
Your comments suggest you do.

You describe people who reject your radical woke leftist beliefs (let's not beat around the bush here) as "intellectually and emotionally adolescent" and lacking "basic human decency". Pot calling the kettle black.
Homeschooler here, from the era before this modern trend. Definitely grew up around students with poor social skills -— and even started out that way myself! —- but I graduated university with honours in computer science and have a successful career in software engineering.

I could share lots of anecdotes in the reverse, but that’s really all they are. Either way, homeschooling wasn’t nonsense for me, and I’m choosing to continue that legacy with my children alongside this next generation of parents who believe homeschooling is the best option for their family.
I don't know about today and don't have kids. This was in the late 70's/ 80's. It was as you say, Lord of The Flies indeed. Good to hear maybe it has improved. Or maybe the bullying is all online now.

Which speaks a lot of how badly they're paid in the rest of the EU if they choose to move to Britain.

And how much Britain needed medical help to go recruit abroad. I do not think German nor US companies are sitting outside Italian universities to entice young talent.

That plus the private spending. So you'll be looking at a number closer to like 90, 95% of the entire market. Because in terms of how many employees companies can afford to hire, it also matters when employees are getting sick all the time because they don't have a basic standard of health care due to either the company not offering insurance or the employee being unwilling to pay the premiums; people who pay their own way for medical costs tend to defer spending on preventative therapy and wind up costing a lot more because they end up in the emergency intervention train.
Wildfire detection is one of the oldest ideas in computer vision, I'm more interested in coming up with better ways to do controlled burns while handling risk factors like terrain, poison oak fumes, containment, etc.

Many healthy ecosystems in California require fire - there is no mention of what will happen post-detection but if this is just a quicker way to extinguish fires, it will be a net negative long term by increasing the fuel load even higher.

Edit: I see this now: "[. . .] as they will be quickly extinguished while still small." Putting out fires quickly is not going to help us long term. We need to develop ways to proactively burn areas safely.

Because you have fewer rights on private property than in public places. That's the fundamental reason. You can have the good without the bad -- a walkable city with some law enforcement and a DA that prosecutes. I suspect a new development won't be dense/mixed-use enough for interesting street life.
Why? I would be careful with doing this not just for the risk of informing your competitors but also the dangers of this being a narcissistic trap. You might feel miss-understood as a person and this results in you oversharing so people can finally know the hard working successful person you are. Just sharing a little bit can be helpful but except if you dream of becoming a influencer I think it is better to play it cool.
