I'll try to clarify myself (I thought I was, but apparently not...) by "disagreement" I meant downvoting purely based on not agreeing with the poster's opinions and/or their other comments. (There are people who mass-downvote posters on HN which they want to "punish", sadly...)

If the comment is inflammatory, false or even just misleading, I wouldn't count it under this umbrella.
How would they have known that those certificates got distrusted? The article says the certs in question were not on any known revocation list.
Don't you have this the wrong way around? UHI definitely exists and has a significant effect. This is observable by anyone. Climatologists claim it hardly affects anything and doesn't matter. This is an extraordinary claim, requiring extraordinary evidence. When their presented evidence immediately fails numerous spot checks, we revert back to the initial assumption: UHI is in fact important and climatology isn't serious about data quality.

Although we keep hearing of the unimportance of UHI, Bangkok has increased 0.24 deg C/decade relative to Mae Hong Son.

The US CRN which is sited away from any potential UHI corruption shows no warming across the entire USA since it opened in 2005. Implication: UHI corruption is significant.

The solution space for this is pretty small, meaning that most things that feel like they might work (e.g. just ban politics) don't actually work. But the answer we've converged on over the years is pretty stable: some political overlap is inevitable and ok, but the articles should be ones that can support an intellectually curious conversation rather than just garden-variety flamewar.

Here are some past explanations of how we approach this. If anyone reads those and still has a question that isn't answered there, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.

Mortgage Rates Hit 7.23%, Highest Since 2001
The ability to work less historically has always came as a byproduct of individuals earning more per hour through productivity increases.

The end goal of AI isn't to make your labour more productive, but to not need your labour at all.

As your labour becomes less useful if anything you'll find you need to work more. At some point you may be as useful to the labour market as someone with 60 IQ today. At this point most of the world will become entirely financially dependent on the wealth redistribution of the few who own the AI companies producing all the wealth – assuming they take pity on you or there's something governments can actually do to force them to pay 90%+ tax rates, of course.
You can’t seem to get it because of that bias. GenY and GenZ haven’t had that experience (yet) so to them, it’s the bees knees, or lit, or slay, or whatever they are using to express their approval.
Just curious, what's the purpose of this? Are there any production use cases it's targeting, or is it just for fun?

> So instead we should just roll the dice, wait to see what happens, and then what?

As opposed to what? Trust your hunch and halt technological progress. Wrap it up folks, we're all done with R&D now.

Your concern about purpose strikes me as odd. When people derive purpose from their work, it's often because they feel they're playing a role in a community. To deprive people of purpose would require that we make communities fully automated and impersonal. I don't think anyone wants or is proposing that.

Absent a requirement to spend one's time earning money, some people would probably degenerate into sloths, but plenty of people are otherwise motivated by self-expression, socialization, competition, etc. People would still interact and do things because people like interacting and doing things.
Hah - I feel like mine is more reasonable than that, but human exceptionalism being what it is, I'm sure he would've thought the same. Still, I'd say asking ChatGPT to do these tasks is a fair bit more trivial than what that comment describes.
> If a painter cannot sell you a portrait they painted of someone without their consent

Not trying to derail the discussion, but there is no legal issue with selling an art portrait without consent, or an art or news photograph of someone who didn't consent. The US legal limitations are elsewhere. Commercial (advertising use), overly piggybacking on someone's notoriety, that kind of thing. And even then, the question is usually more about who will share in the proceeds.
> Admittedly, teaching people not to downvote just for disagreement would be better.

That would be awesome were it possible. Got any special insight into how to do that? I don't have a problem doing so, 16 yrs on reddit, if I ever downvoted even 30 times total, I'd be shocked. Others I've talked to make it seem like that's a daily or at best weekly total for them...

I think the trouble is that people fear others seeing the comment. Downvoting is used as a technique to prevent that contamination. It betrays some sort of mistrust in others' intellects.

> Any sense of why they are HF averse?

Technology-wise, path dependency from stuff that was built out before HF diffusers were available, and on which more continues to be built in the ecosystem.

If you are doing a greenfield project that is mostly standalone, its not an issue, but for existing popular projects and the communities of satellite projects around them, the switching cost is high.

In terms of content hosting, well, a fair amount is hosted on HF, but there is a difference of content focus between CivitAI and HF, and a lot of what CivitAI hosts HF probably wouldn’t want to. Also, CivitAI has a UI focused on the narrow space of imagegen, whereas HF is more general.

Rewriting throws away years of accumulated edge cases handling. Suddenly the thing doesn't work because one particular model of printer needs an undocumented command to enable some feature, or users are inputting bad data because you forgot the checks you accumulated...

A child doesn’t process “data” in the form of a sequence of tokens. A child associates visual objects with similar traits to pronounced words, heard from their parents. It also acquires a basic feeling of temporal sequentiality and physical causality by throwing toys, for example. It learns the rules of the language grammar by subconsciously noticing the basic structure of sentences with objects, verbs and qualities.

I'm not saying it's truly fascism, which I consider a twist of corporate based socialism...

This is all very superstitious. Much of what's said about AI in tech circles has a superstitious, irrational character. There's a very obvious absence of any real philosophical analysis or depth of understanding of the subject matter, only a crude, superficially materialistic, hand-wavy sort of assumption that any of this makes sense.

The idea that computers and intelligence have anything to do with one another, in the manner they are often assumed in the context of AI to have anything to do with one another, is profoundly flawed from the start. A formal system by definition lacks features that are characteristic of intelligence (semantics and the ability to abstract from particulars), and physical computers, strictly speaking, aren't a natural kind nor do they, again strictly speaking, even embody or deal with formal systems per se anyway. Computation is a mathematical construct that is simulated with physical machines, and this model is completely agnostic about the physical means by which it is simulated. You could use wooden gears if you want. The assignment between physical state transformation and a computation is entirely conventional and in the eye of the beholder.

Now, if you want to define "artificial intelligence" as the simulation of intelligence, then I could concede a loose version of this claim, but it would be closer to a marketing claim than a scientific or philosophical one. Practically speaking, such "AI" could still have major consequences as a sophisticated means of automation, but theoretically, there's no intelligence involved except on the part of the artificer.

If you are prepared to worry about your computer becoming conscious, then you should equally be worried about your cup of coffee become conscious as you drink it and subject the contents to the torments of your digestive system. There's no reason to fetishize those artifacts we call computers.
Nope, saying she had a set of priorities that she shared, and then at some point, her priorities changed. It wasn't never about the techniques, but in executing on one's priorities.

In relating it back to the Linux distro being compared to Marie Kondo, the point is that having a small tidy distro isn't a value, unless it matches your computing priorities.
Author here. Your "correction" is wrong. All dimensions after the zero dimension are ignored by the JVM. This is explicitly stated in the JVM spec[0].The typecheck you're leaning on is a purely syntactical construct. Inside the JVM, the arrays function and are sized just as I described.

> Object having no size() method and arrays having therefore a length field is also confused. Arrays have distinct types (and classes, in the sense of getClass()), and therefore could very well have a size() method. It’s merely a stylistic choice of Java that they opted for the simpler .length syntax.

What's the "confused" part? Again, my description is accurate and you're simply saying that Java could have chosen a different way to do the same thing, but decided not to.

MitM covers both passive and active. The traditional model for MitM was Telnet sessions, where a passive MitM would allow you to capture secrets and then initiate new sessions. With active mitm you can take over a session (or more!) but passive enables plenty of successful attacks, which is why you should use encryption, which MS didn't. lolz

I'm guessing you mean to say "A problem posing difficulty to a certain group of people doesn't have any bearing on it's morality." and that's just... so very gross in terms of ethical statements.

Like just, hard disagree. Undercutting the value by entire factors of a whole profession's labor is incredibly immoral, especially when you couldn't have done it without the help of their previous works. Like... a very non-exhaustive list of problems I would say meet that definition are:

- Exploitation of overseas labor

Yeah I'm in the boat of "people shouldn't use downvotes for differing opinions", but I do downvote things I disagree with when I think they are "in bad faith". This is definitely a vague and subjective metric, but includes things like the demonstrable falsehood you mentioned, as well as stuff like continuing to make the same point while seemingly failing to read or incorporate what their interlocutor is saying.

I guess what I'd say is that most disagreements are honest ones - people coming to different conclusions on subjective things - and that's the kind of disagreement I don't think downvotes should be used for.
I've read them on the internet yes. Good point. Different usage of the dots though.

Reading code, is second to using it and working with it.

Someone can tell you "This is good code." but good for what? Why is it good?

It is fast code? Is it highly maintainable? Is it well documented and kept up to date? Is it a code that is highly reliable? Is it code that solves and important problem?

My rule of thumb is: Ugly code usually comes from ugly problems. Ugly code can often be some of the most valuable code, because... it does the ugly things! It does what we want 99.9% of the time, using heuristics, and other nasty stuff.

So don't judge code on if it is "good" or not. Judge it on if it does what the author intended, and if it doesn't suck too badly to read with no reason.

Code bases I've worked in and have opinions on:

Samba: Good code base, but you MUST understand the idioms of the codebase, or it is absolutely horrible. It also alas, has the wisdom of 20+ years of existence in it... so it isn't always pretty.

Illumos/OpenSolaris: Nice codebase. Get the SmartOS distribution and you can literally type a few commands and build an entire OS and userland.

FreeBSD: See above. Great codebase, ans also, it can build userland + kernel, though it takes a few more commands. I'll admit I haven't read this one in 20 years. But I always found it a good codebase to work in back when :).

Grab the source for a library you use all the time, you know the useful one but the API feels a bit off... Download it and look at why the API is the way it is.

When looking at code, do NOT neglect looking at the history of a given file or piece of code, it often can teach you quite a bit. :)
Meta absolutely could not overcome the barriers to entry and technical mismatch for any sort of traditional IAS style product, and it would be foolish for them to try.

Unicode is not a binary encoding, perhaps you meant UTF-16/WTF-16, which are binary encoding of Unicode?

Confirmation bias. It’s the same in most forums I follow; there is always someone complaining about an imaginary person downvoting everything. Which is always bullshit because even if a couple of posts had one single downvote by the time the comment was written (though there is nothing to say whether this was from a single account), it is never the case if you wait a bit.

I guess part of us really want to be against other people and the shady systematic downvoter fills that role. It is always stupid, though. Luckily we don’t get much of that here.
It's abstracted a little bit, but every abstraction is designed to lift a roadblock and reused multiple times like an old tool. And special effort has been spent on avoiding technical debt (hard coded stuff, untested stuff, overloaded or missing properties) to the point of doing things with less effort.
