> Popular things are closer to the back of the grocery store -- milk, eggs, meat, produce, higher-volume soft drinks -- in order to force you to walk past everything else to reach them.

> Ice cream is not that popular, so it could reasonably be stocked near the front of the store. But all the flavors are stored together, as you'd expect.

This part is actually more plausible than you'd expect, especially if you assume that details are slightly garbled by the N'th retelling.

Last year, we went to a convenience store to pick up some ice cream treats after a big hike. There was one of those mini freezers with a set of frozen treats right next to the entrance, facing the cashier. But there was also a line of full-sized freezers containing all the usual frozen goods (including frozen ice cream treats) in one of the aisles. Depending on which frozen treat you wanted, you'd either be picking it right up by the front door, or having to wander down an aisle to find it.
It might increase the preciousness of art made with physical media. Such real art will be seen as the real deal, handcrafted, etc.

I think the market for affordable prints and copies will definitely suffer, because I can create prints of Midjourney art that looks as good as anything I see in our small local galleries and gift shops.
Had a similar effect with garage door sensors and TVs which use infrared. During sunset, the sun would line up juust right to blank out the sensors
> Problem is flipping the coin 20 times. I don’t think even 1 in 100 million would do that.

2^20 = 1048576

So roughly 1 in 1 million.

You're off by 100x.
Were you using artists for anything you can use DALLE for now? Probably not, because what they're best at is too different. But making them more similar will actually increase demand for them because you'll have higher standards for whatever you get out of them. (Jevon's paradox)

Basically, there is no circumstance under which automation reduces demand for labor. It's like if you got a pay raise and started worrying it might make you poorer.
Flippening is a word to yeet from your lexicon.
VSCode vs. Jetbrains Revisited (September 2023 Update)
My thoughts on VSCode vs Jetbrains and how things have progressed in the last few years
I just thought it would be cool to see how long people might last in such a room.
It was not in my budget. So far at least.

Here is the Worlds Quiets Room, as of 2018:

Interesting point! However, I rarely see people write “GNU/Linux” these days, at least in the parts of Internet where I hang out. (And there’s quite a lot of FOSS/Linux folks in those parts.)
> Ever stopped at one of those self-checkout registers at the grocery store that didn't exist in your childhood and wondered what happened to the cashier who used to be there?

They're still there, they're restocking shelves.

Similarly, the invention of ATM machines increased the number of bank tellers.

> I'd say the CMS example is more of a data entry job than a development job now, it's two different things.

Right, but it used to be a development job, which is the point. The CMS took a development job and turned it into a data entry job -- exactly what DALL-E does to some limited forms of artistry.

But development didn't disappear, and neither will artistry.
Has anyone who funded OpenAI back in 2015 spoken out against their non-openness? Elon Musk only did after he no longer had a stake in it.

Edit:

OpenAI is a corporation and their stakeholders include Microsoft, Peter Thiel, and Infosys.

Yeah, not really surprising that they are not "Open".
Bahrain houses the 5th fleet. USCC and USAFCC are out of qatar. I’d call that being allies. And since they’re US bases they will be used by nato in times of conflict (or otherwise).
I am not aware of a games industry crash, it would appear that gaming is an industry larger than all other forms of art combined. But indeed niches that are saturated by enshitified content have almost crashed and I get your point. I suppose the average will turn even more average and indeed people will stop spending money on it. AI being a statistical machine it will excell at making whatever is common and plenty and as such those industries will suffer even more. Average music, content writing, drawings, etc, will drop to near zero value, that's guranteed.
Is this the first time OpenAI has had a big announcement like this without it actually being released? Normally they tend to ship when they announce.
Joke's on you pal if you're still expecting that from 'OpenAI' :/

So what's your actual argument here? Drones bad because new? Drones bad because minefields? Drones bad because mean people on the internet like them?
That must be new (I haven't volunteered since Covid) or just not implemented at the ones I've worked with. The ones I worked with totally didn't care about things like that, and let the customers make their own decisions around taking an item or not. We would occasionally pick out totally rotten or fuzzy stuff. None of them had federal funding though.

I regularly see past-expiration stuff at Grocery Outlet stores and other discount grocery stores like that still being sold.
Check this stuff out for growing tomatoes where it is hot.

I've had great success with the 40% setting tomatoes all season and my temps push 110F in the summer. One thing I learned the hard way, in addition to this, leave the plants bushy so it shades internally.
Yeah I think that’s a good comparison. Images are cheap to make and everywhere. That doesn’t mean everyone is suddenly taking good photos.
Logs are mostly "Hi I reached this line of code, here is some metadata"
Cool! Love the game, by the way. Feels like it's a bit underrated because of the golf theme, but it's one of my favorite multiballs and I like the progression of the scorecard.

If we look at the hacks that jRuby needs to do to get the native file pointer is insane.

If only where was a simple API that allowed us to get the handle...
I'd say both Rust and C++ trade blows when it comes to expressiveness. You know Rust already, so I'm not going to try sell you how powerful macros can be (see SQLx's ability to compile-time check SQL queries).

And indeed C++ templates are a lot more like Rust macros than Rust generics: They're turing-complete.

Joint with some interesting language choices like SFINAE (substitution failure is not an error), you end up with the ability to specialize functions, methods and whole classes in C++.

You can also have functions that return different types.

C++ templates work like duck-typing within a static language: In Rust you need to say what traits your generics need to support. In C++ it will try and substitute and if it fails (say, because T doesn't support the required methods) it will try another substitution until none are left.

If none of the substitutions work, you will be shown ALL of them in error reporting: This is what leads to pages and pages of compile errors of single-character typos in C++.

Templates are really cool, but also pretty confusing when reading code since you're in a guessing game of what types will fit the constraints imposed by the _implementation_ of the function.

From C++20 there's concepts to make templates work a little smoother.

There's been whole books written about how to abuse templates: these are pre-requisite knowledge when working in large codebases.
I suppose it is perfectly rational for you to want a Jewish state, and you have one now and I do not wish to argue that it should end and clearly it has its benefits for people who are Jewish. I only take issue with the way in which it was founded, which like so many countries on the planet, was extremely problematic. Indeed in that sense there is nothing special about Israel at all, it's just another country founded by force and colonisation, like my own was, albeit in the first millennium.

Put it this way—you wouldn't found a state the way Israel was founded today. You wouldn't found a Roma state in Northern India. Israel is here and it's here to stay and that's it, and there's lots to admire about what Israel is and has become since 1948. Having said that, let's not do it again elsewhere in the world with some other ethnic group lacking a nation state, of which there are so many.
It'd Be Nice to Live in Less of a Gerontocracy
I am certainly looking forward to the day that open source models can be evenly matched with "open"ai's models.
Maybe in the short term. In the longer term, who is going to bother developing these skills? Not everyone “hits a home run” and is successful in galleries and museums, but there have always been fallback options like commercial illustration. If those options are gone, then it’s either 1) be good/lucky enough to succeed in galleries/museums 2) starve or 3) be independently wealthy before becoming an artist.
Truly we live in strange times when Jacobin is promoting a book written by a senior fellow from the Brookings Institution.
It doesn’t really work that way. Yes, you can use images as a source, but they are more just mined for “pieces” to rearrange, not overall aesthetic effects.
There are bad auditors, of course. Having had the displeasure of working with KPMG (not in a code-security-audit setting, mercifully), I genuinely don't understand how their staff can be allowed within a ten mile radius of source code.

The ideal way to authenticate audits IMO would be for the audited entity to link back to a PDF or other report hosted on the auditor's site.
Because people can make porn with locally hosted Stable Diffusion.

They can't do that with MidJourney and DallE.
I’m also excited if they can make an image generator you can chat to and iterate. That would be awesome.

You might know Thai already but have you tried using ControlNet to make images with stable diffusion? It allows you to input an image that it follows along with the prompt, and there’s a bunch of ways to influence it. You can even give it a hand drawn sketch. Or have it pick out position of limbs, or use the edges of objects and keep those.

If you have something specific you want to create then it’s amazingly helpful.

The only easy to use site I know of that offers it is happyaccidents.ai (or you can run yourself if you have SD installed)
This is incredible. Could this be used for analytics? something like timescaledb for powering dashboards?
Probably being produced by factory workers, not machines. (It's like clothing - clothes are often cheap now, but every one of them was man-made.)

It sucks that there are several other combinations of 2 letters suffixes that are also taken:

I recall the US Federal Corp for Solar Energy, because a young colleague (at the time) went to a year of training for it. However, once the training was done and he was a year older (and paid?) new President Ronald Reagan cut it completely in his first acts when elected.
How is that stealing?

Do art students steal when they tour the museum? Please, I really need to know... what sort of dingbat philosophy is it that thinks that this even slightly resembles stealing, in either of the "copyright infringement is stealing" or the "actual theft" meanings.

I hope the DSM VI includes copyright maximalism in its list of mental illnesses.
There should really be a law that says that "just waiting" gives you $0, otherwise your monetary theory is unstable and you need to go back to school.
At first I thought of it as Open(Web|Source|File Format|StreetMap|etc), now I group it with OpenTable.

Also at first this objection really resonated with me. I think the meaning of OpenAI has spread pretty well now, and that it's getting to the point where raising this objection is tiresome.

There is an important point to be made about how it got popularized as being open and then they went and closed it while keeping the momentum, but that should be made instead of just saying, "wait, it's called OpenAI but isn't open?!?!"

However, stuff gets started as an open play all the time and gets closed, without open in the brand name, for instance https://ghuntley.com/fracture/ - hence the term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openwashing
If I was only running neovim, this wouldn't make much sense. However, I can use this method for any command line application. Since it's essentially just re-using my existing terminal, I can also re-use as much of my terminal emulator configuration as I'd like. I can also rely on the known performance characteristics of my terminal emulator. In particular, a number of the Neovim GUIs are energy hogs (either due to some unoptimized thing that uses a lot of CPU or the specific method that is used for rendering on the GPU).

The other nice thing is that when I want to run Neovim, I start an app called Neovim. Not FNvim or Neovide or glrnvim or any of those other things. Neovim. It's a closer match to my intent and I don't have to try to remember some weird app name when I just want to edit code.
> I have never personally succeeded in convincing anyone with these deep programming traditions to try something new that may be Better in Every Way.

This is true of almost anything really, not just programming.
I dislike OpenAI because they were founded to work on AI safety, and the most anti-safety thing you can possibly do is encourage competition over AI capabilities, which is exactly what they are doing over and over again.
> Were you using artists for anything you can use DALLE for now?

I mean sure yeah, in the past I would pay for logos from artists and now I just make them with AI for my projects instead.
Images aren't all created by "artists", and you don't need to train on images created by "artists" in order to produce something that could be called "art".

Fed Leaves Rates Unchanged, Signals One More Hike This Year
If we're talking about the future here, it makes much more sense that you'd be buying stocks directly using currency stored on your phones hardware wallet through a DEX like Uniswap. In fact, you might just tell your phone that you want to buy X amount of stock, and it would do it all for you onchain.
> but it feels a bit like an argument of PC vs Mac, where OpenAI is providing the Mac experience (polished, instantly easy to use) while PC offers more customization and nitty gritty.

1984, the year the Mac was introduced (and when the more customizable, nitty-gritty Apple II series was their main seller) was also Apple’s all time peak in share of the personal computer market in terms of units sold.

So…yeah, I think the comparison is apt, but maybe not in the way you think it is.
I was actually thinking of my kids when I suggested that. Born in the west to Arab parents but can’t read/write Arabic. They definitely can’t understand Egyptian Arabic, but they listen to modern Classical Arabic so it’s easier to their ears.
I have written dew (https://github.com/efrecon/dew) for more or less the same purpose. I hardly keep any binary (and dependency) in my installation, they are all inside containers that I can easily dispose of at any time. The default in dew is to run them as your user. At the command prompt, instead of running, for example, kubectl xxx, I run dew kubectl xxx. It's a bit slower but provides an increased level of security.
Not only is there no nutritional information or recipe released, there's not even an ingredients list. Nothing is revealed about this fruit. 'Apple,' ladies and gentlemen. Heck, the only Apples you'll find at an Apple Store are running on iOS, not growing on trees!
I mean, the vast majority of artists operating in the gallery system are not moonlighting as commercial artists. It’s an entirely different skill set.

I encourage you to check out the work at museums and galleries in whichever city you live in. It should be immediately obvious that these aren’t really skills that transfer to Photoshop and blog post images.
Can verify, and of the two, Krim has the better flavor in my opinion. But they do not produce like the hybrids and the Krims tend to crack.

Another (cherry) that is really tasty is Rosella (a dark purplish variety like the other two). So tasty.
Imba is the only sane framework (and mithril used to be) because it actually uses "events" as the driver of state which makes sense since the web is event driven and allows you to avoid runes, horcruxes and incantations.

I don't see it. I use chatgpt to create prompts for midjourney. It takes me a couple of clicks only. I don't see the massive difference. Specially since midjourney is much much better than DallE
No. The overall state is that the suckers have dried up, and thus it is no longer even a plausible way to conduct money laundering.

Or - crazy idea - don't politicize mental health at all ??

I don't read the news or social media, so it's bizarre to me when someone tries to divert a basic human concern into a political agenda. Mental health is important no matter what political spectrum you're on, and treatment isn't political, it's healthcare.
Sounds like an area with strong EM interference. Maybe a stop-light with those underground sensors? or under a high-power line? or near a power transfer station? or high-power radio antennae?

Could be giving just enough weird EM interference to bump the sensor from "enough fluid" to "low"

(I know I sound like Scully from x-files but could just be?)
on dslreports or broadbandreports there's at least two instances of me complaining about two cable companies because, at last, it was figured out there was moisture ingress in the LE (line extender, usually on cable lines on poles). The only common denominator was it happened during prime time, every night, and went away around midnight.

The other common denominator was the cable company refusing to believe it was an issue with their equipment; this meant it took a couple of months of calling them every night until they finally sent a technician and a manager to my house to verify that I wasn't wrong, leaving my house, coming back 15 minutes later to say "it'll be fixed tomorrow, there's a problem with the LE balance up the road" - and then the issue is resolved.

Now this doesn't sound so bad, until you learn that the first time this happened to me, i had only VoIP - so the internet would start to foul, i'd call the cable company, and the tier 1 would reset my modem at some point, and then i wouldn't be able to call back until after midnight (or whatever), when there was no longer a problem. So after a week of this, i would walk 30 minutes - one way - to a pay phone (remember those?) once the internet slowed, call them, explain that i couldn't do anything they wanted me to do physically, since they disconnected my phone line every time i called.

This is what happens with a de facto monopoly.

I will never pay suddenlink another dime, even if they're the only terrestrial provider, for whatever reason.
Sorry for my late reply. Thank you so much.

That definitely sounds like a loose connection, not an ECU problem. Usually it's a bad clamp on the battery terminal. Often it's the ground clamp in particular.

The easiest diagnosis is to rotate the cables on the terminal several times to rub off oxide build up, then leave them in an orientation so that the natural tension of the cable forces the clamp into good contact.

A "dead" (low voltage) battery will still cause some indicators/lights to come on when you crank, while a bad connection usually acts like zero volts.
Yes, your opinion seems like the obvious truth to me and I don’t quite understand why this is eluding people.

Tar Tasks: The stickiest thing that's holding you back
I have made use of tracing, metrics, and logging all together and find each of them have its own place, as well as synergies of being able to work with all three together.

Cost is a real issue, and not just in terms of how much the vendor costs you. When tracing becomes a noticeable fraction of CPU or memory usage relative to the application, it's time to rethink doing 100% sampling. In practice, if you are sampling thousands of requests per second, you're very unlikely to actually look through each one of those thousands (thousands of req/s may not be a lot for some sites, but it is already exceeding human-scale without tooling). In order to keep accurate, useful statistics with sampling, you end up using metrics to store trace metrics prior to sampling.
I actually bought credits with DALL-E only to be disappointed by the results, because there isn't a version 3 available.

They honestly could have just waited to announce this until it was actually released!
You can do it with ControlNet guidance for SD.
Perhaps they use some form of steganography.
> Nothing like a troll-named account to post a lot of brash talk without the courage to name where they're from.

Oh my goodness, “brash talk”. We Westerners give out a whole laundry list of things that we do contary to our “proclaimed values” and then in the next paragraph say “anyway, if we don't get our act together the third-worlders might stop looking up to us and our values”.[1] It's farcical how arrogant that is.

[1] Mock quote.
Go made a deliberate decision to use multiple results rather than Option<T> or Result<S, E>. It's of course entirely reasonable to disagree with that decision, but it's not the case that the Go language designers were unaware of programming language theory or unaware of sum types. Although you suggest that you want sum types as the primary tool for error handling, Go made a different decision, not due to accident or lack of knowledge, but intentionally.

(Separately, I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you say that Go doesn't use interface types for its error handling, since the language-defined error type is in fact an interface type.)
I like that pixelated stuff.
