When it’s sunny, my wife’s car can’t open the garage door, and my car requires getting extremely close. Once the sun goes down, we can both open the door from the street.

It turns out our solar panels (or the optimizers, or the inverter) emit radio frequencies that interfere with our garage door opener. When the sun is out and they are producing energy, the interference is stronger than the homelink garage door opener.

A few years ago the garage door openers started working fine. It took a few days to realize it was because the inverter had failed.

I’m fairly certain there are some FCC regulations that would require our installer to fix it, but that relationship soured during installation and I’d rather deal with an unusable garage remote than dealing with them for warranty work.
History suggests it’s never just an act.
They don't really need to reverse engineer the underlying protocol for that service. It's enough to simply bridge the networks in a way that local broadcast still gets through.
I still think it's unthinkable.

"Consuming content" is fundamentally an act of communication. If there isn't another entity with intelligence and intent to communicate with, I'm not really interested.

Although the author gives themself an escape hatch with "augmented" because it seems extremely evident that almost everything will have some small level of "AI" input (arguably it already does... spellcheckers have been around for quite a while.)

I very much believe LMMs are a tremendously important technology with a dizzying array of applications... but generating "content" for human consumption is pretty much last on my list. I already can't read all the books or watch all the excellent movies made by humans!
You're probably not using DALL·E 3:

I don't think so. It's in line with the classical definition of masculinity. What is not feminine. So nothing shocks me with that sentence.
I think Renn's point is that Reeves is (perhaps unwittingly) agreeing with certain aspects of the MRA viewpoint.
> It's one of the reasons I LOL hard whenever I hear tech people saying they will "retire and become farmers", these people have no idea what it is like to work on a farm for real.

When I hear this sentiment expressed and/or express this sentiment myself, it generally has nothing to do with the farming, but is rather meant to convey an interest in a life as far removed as possible from the stresses and bullshit and growing moral conflicts of working in tech.

Of course, there is probably no industry that is immune from any of these things, or even immune from tech itself.

But consider all of the posturing of the "farmer" being of-the-land and small-town and away from the chaos of city life and away from Silicon Valley ivory towers. All the folksy hokey drawl and front-porch iced-tea that people like to put up, especially politicians and entertainment performers in the country music industry. All the idyllic glorification of the people who "feed the world." It's all beautiful sunrises over fields of grain, people in work clothes who don't have much but still have it all. Obviously, none of that reflects reality any more than a tech worker jumping into that world. It overlooks the backbreaking, bank-breaking labor involved at the lowest levels, and the exploitation of an entire sector of the economy from top to bottom, beginning with government subsidies handed out to a rapidly growing corporate oligarchy swallowing up family farms that have produced our food for generations and converting them to nightmarish factory farming operations of unspeakable horrors. But if golden sunrises is what people want to pretend it is, then that's as good as anything for a tech worker to pretend to want when they fantasize about standing up from their seat at a row of workstations in a FAANG labor facility and walking out.

Of course "these people have no idea what it is like to work on a farm for real." Nobody who hasn't done it does. Just like nobody who hasn't worked in tech knows what it is like working in tech for real.

The point isn't to sincerely go into farming. The point is to imagine getting out of an industry that mills "intellectual labor" into advertising revenue for billionaires. If people like to imagine "flyover country" being some unspoiled unappreciated paradise, then people who genuinely want to get off of the "elitist coasts" are going to imagine going there. If it happens to call the cultural bluff on farming being some quaint, pastoral life of simple but rewarding hard work, that's hardly the tech worker's fault. The blame for that most likely lies with the people in power who stand to benefit from sustaining that fantasy — who are often among the same people who benefit from the fantasy that tech work is all pinball machines and free sodas for typing on computers.

LOL, if that's your coping mechanism. But while one might laugh at a worker wanting to jump from one bleak industry to another bleak industry, the people who profit from all of this bleakness go on profiting. If we have a problem with the fantasies, then maybe we should do something about the realities first.

Here's an example from earlier this year.

The primary difference from the most common ways I hear about it from the right is the lack of a "one simple trick to fix it" prescription. It is more limited to a survey of some of the proposed causes and actions.

> What I really want, is women to show they can overpower a society of competitive values (which is typically male), with more values of mutual help, and I mean this in the political realm, as in socialism and a society made of collectives, not a society made of owners.

Wouldn't "overpowering" those "competitive values" be using a competitive mindset and sabotage the effort for "values of mutual help"?
ChatGPT is not a general intelligence, let alone a superintelligence. Ask for paperclips and it will try to provide a plausible, satisfying, and entertaining answer.

To put it another way, my parents wanted me to become a Jewish doctor but I became an atheist engineer. Was I simply not smart enough to understand what they wanted?
The number of people working in agriculture was divided by c. 6 in the US [0], despite the population being multiplied by c. 3.5.

Sure, automation increased demand for food, but demand did not increase enough to not destroy 5/6th of farmers jobs.

Now this may not be a bad thing at all, that's not the point, but I am not sure "hey demand for art will increase but 5 out of 6 artist jobs will no longer exist!" is a super hopeful statement to artists.

If you quote me, do it correctly. I mever said looking up, I said soft power in geo politics, which I think democracies should have. There is nothing saviour-related to this opinion.

Anyway, there is nothing good that came from the last NATO led interventions, did it? Which is part of the problem.
during the PPC 603 era of Macintosh Performa series, we had a bad motherboard, and apple sent an engineer to our house to replace it. This is around the time that the story of apple sending engineers to houses to remove motherboards, raise them 2 feet above a flat surface, and drop them was being passed around. Something about reseating chips that one of their pick and place machines was misaligned on or something.
> Women had less rights for a long time

Women always had different kinds of rights, like expressing themselves more with emotions and clothing and cosmetics, etc., and taking care of children. Men don't have these rights. A man working in daycare is frowned upon. A man wearing eyeshadow is frowned upon, a man sending heart ♥ emoticons in WhatsApp is frowned upon, etc. It seems fair that if women claim more rights, then men can claim some of these "soft" rights too.

> I’ve noticed mostly with female influencers, where they talk in a lower, quieter voice, that feels both like they are educating as well as perhaps infantilizing the listener.

It’s called “patronizing.” These people think they are more interesting and intelligent than they actually are and take on this air of pretentious lecturing.
That was one of the weirdest experience I've had on the web in a long time.
XML's curse was that it started with all of the complexity that everyone will eventually add to any possible replacement. Worse still, people felt compelled to use every feature that they could for esoteric reasons. Even worse, the big companies did not actually work well with each other's document definitions. Even ones that were supposed to work well together.

That said, you only need to look at the abomination that is an OpenAPI spec that has been annotated to work with AWS to see that the pitfalls are still mostly the same today. (I can also complain about the breaking changes from the old specs.)
That's the trouble with capitalism: basic needs are underpriced, because income rates have no floor.

If people are allowed to be too poor to afford food, then the system has failed. Our solution is not to pay people enough to live: our solution is to make food cheap enough for the desperately poor to continue living in squalor.

It's no wonder to me that the very people invested in perpetuating this system are constantly struggling to "solve" homelessness and healthcare by "creating more jobs".

The overwhelming way the left talks about it is in terms of "toxic" masculinity or through the perspective of feminism.

This example is a bit strange to me. I wonder if `$effect` will actually replace all usage of `onMount` and `onDestroy` for Svelte. In Solid you could totally do these things with `useEffect` too, but they chose to keep `onMount` and `onDestroy` (which they call `onCleanup`) to make this kind of thing more simple.

Example: https://www.solidjs.com/examples/counter

`onMount` and `onDestroy` feel like really useful, dependable callbacks. `$effect` is scary because if you add a reference to state in it, you can't depend on it being called like `onMount`.

It's a widespread issue. With DALL-E 2, yes, the vast majority of the time you do get undefined blobs full of mistakes. You can get some amazing things, but only with clever prompt engineering.

This is about DALL-E 3, which is just announced. Nobody's played with it yet so we don't know if it's a lot better or not.
Fighting words!

The author also mentions that JSON is better:

"So if you want to write YAML, you can. But it’ll just take that YAML and turn it into JSON behind the scenes. Then they also have a specific Caddy language. So you can give it the Caddy language and then it turns that into JSON behind the scenes. And you can give it an NGINX config and it’ll turn that into JSON behind the scenes. If you have the cycles and time to spare, that’s probably the best solution for most people…"

I have heard so many stories - all anecdotal of course but it's been a pattern over the last 20 years - of people crossing the US/Can border on buses specifically being abnormally questioned, searched or detained.

I wonder if there's some kind of bias against buses in border guard culture or training? Are you more likely assumed to be up to no good because you're travelling in the cheapest possible way?

It even happened to me when I was 19, but I did not look very respectable at the time so I chalked it up to that.
So there is a more optimal compression algorithm for the relation between the MNIST inputs and outputs!

Other models tend to add noise somewhere in there; what about feature engineering before the gzip? Maybe a gaussian blur and a convolution first and then deep learning for feature selection
I still think publicly expressing how we feel about their “openness” is the right thing to do. And I’m sure there are people inside OpenAI who feel the same way.

>The left talks about this all of the time

They absolutely do NOT. The right has Jordan Peterson and a raft of people discussing men's issues. The left has NO equivalent. The silence is deafening. If you dare to bring up men's issues in education, parental rights, etc, you get lumped in with the MRA wackadoodles. The left is especially harsh in silencing dissent, and frankly every time it happens, you're pushing people further into the arms of the right wing.

Edit: exhibit A. This is the fastest I've had an innocuous comment go negative on hackernews. Tow the party line or be silenced I guess...
Sounds good. Thanks for the update. I'll keep my eye on the usual place :-)
Stability AI with Stable Diffusion is already at the finish line in this race, by being $0, open source and not being exclusively a cloud-based AI model and can be used offline.

Anything else that is 'open source' AI and allows on-device AI systems eventually brings the cost to $0.
From para 1

In fact, we usually believe that only sentient beings can express emotions. Given that works of music are not sentient, emotions cannot be expressed in them. However, many scholars have recently begun to show renewed interest in organicist cosmology, in which objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence

If there's an AI crash it will be due to the vast number of AI companies with insufficiently differentiated products and subsequent race to the bottom, not due to the ubiquity of the output.
The cognitive load for yaml is infinitely lower than XML or other things that “work” better.

The example give about go 1.2 vs 1.20 is a bad one. Go should have gone with 1.02 instead of 1.2. Also you can just convert that into a string.

The reason why yaml is great is because I’m tired of learning “better” solutions that only fix the tiny percentage of issues that yaml has, but has a much more tremendous learning curve. XML is overengineered to the point that it’s a confusing mess.

Give me yaml any day of the week.
> When Obama tried creating “My Brothers Keeper” program to help struggling AA boys, who got it shut down?

He didn’t try, he succeeded in 2014, and it remained in place as long as he was President, then it stopped being an Administration priority under Donald Trump and went away in 2017 (though the Obama Foundation then launched a similarly named grant program with similar purpose in 2018 which is still active.)

Except it absolutely was.
I'm not quite understanding. It sounds like I was supposed to use google search before it stopped working?

A great counterexample would be a google query which includes the answer in the results.
Idea is to challenge someone to propose a hardware + OS which can be as secure being online. Probably it has to be OpenBSD and the latest architecture with open BIOS.
Check out Harry Metcalfe's Harry's Farm on Youtube for more insight into British farming. It's a serious version of Clarkson's Farm. It's eye opening how much bureaucracy comes from politicians towards farmers.
Part of longevity terminology is healthspan vs. lifespan. Lifespan is how long it takes you to die. Healthspan is how long it takes you to become effectively disabled. For example your lifespan might be 80, but if you had severe Alzheimer’s since you were 65 you were dependent on many people to live still. One major goal of longevity is to extend healthspan towards the lifespan, so that your final years are quick and merciful instead of slowly wasting for a decade or more. That experience, I’m sure we all know, is painful for everyone involved.

Some context is that Profs Scolyer and Long have recently had a lot of success with immunotherapy for melanoma used as a neo-adjuvant - that is, before surgery. Start the patient on immuno asap and then excise so the immune system is triggered to potentially clean up anything that has spread.
Yes but you were allowed because you are a human (I assume). Human rights are not transferable to even animals, much less machines.

You also have the right to have your eyes open in a public dressing room, but you’re not allowed to turn on your camera and film.

You’re also allowed to have fireworks but not recreational C4s. And so on.
Correct, and I agree it's an important point, but pre-trial detention is a thing (and I suppose pre-hearing as well)

I think that's how the US justifies it (and I'm certainly not defending the way they do it).

Asylum shouldn't be a "immigrate for free" card. And abusing the system hurts the legitimate claimants more.
Funny how there's so many well paid IP lawyers around, and they focused so hard lobbying to extend the copyright to 100+ years for simple copying, but they never had the imagination and creativity that copyright is supposed to be all about protecting, to extend copyright beyond that.

If anyone's interested: last year I generated around 7,000 images using DALL•E 2 and uploaded them to https://generrated.com/

I wanted a way to experiment/see what DALL•E 2 could create and share with others as some sort of inspiration/a starting point.

This was before the API was available, so I had to generate and save them all manually. And it was rather expensive! But fun.

Looks like I'll have to update them all for DALL•E 3 when I get access.

Proxmox isn't a hypervisor (last time I checked!), it's a management plane to different hypervisors.
While I definitely agree yaml is pointlessly prone to this ("NO" lol), I've had plenty of xml issues. Bad manual attribute encoding, duplicate attributes (pretty easy when there are lots) that vary in behavior depending on your xml reader, using text content instead of attributes, using lists of text nodes as a map that then gets deduplicated inconsistently instead of attributes (to work around needing to manually encode complex or multi-line text into an attribute)...

Humans can screw up anything. And more text often allows it to hide for longer.
XML is a data format for correct exchange of information between computer systems. Human-friendly editing was never the no 1 goal for its designers. And with good tools like IntelliJ IDEA, I have easier time editing pom.xml configurations than k8s YAML files, to be honest.
Q1 of 2024, unironically
Because people are capricious and change what they like for no apparent reason. AI would need to re-train on what’s hot and new and that puts it in position of always a step behind.

Second, just the idea of consuming content solely created by AI makes people squirm even if the content is good.

I personally think it is also a pointless endeavor.
At least JSON has a complete and unambiguous specification. If JSON had comments, we wouldn't need YAML 99% of the time.
