I checked out some of your demo tracks. Sounds quite diverse. The female singer sort of sounds like the singer of a band called The Superjesus at times.

I like the guitar part I heard in Extended Illness.
> Loads of housing is getting built but what we've not seen is subsequent drops in housing prices (the opposite in fact). This speaks to problems beyond a housing shortage.

No it doesn't. The only thing that would indicate a problem beyond a shortage would be if total supply was greater than and increasing greater than total demand. Building "loads" doesn't bear any of that data.
On top of the other comments, using PDF also makes it harder to crawl data to train or finetune language models. I absolutely hate the PDF format for the reasons you mentioned. I went to long lengths to find PDF viewers with dark mode and Vim key bindings just to make my PDF experience better.
Why? Isn't someone paying 70%+ and me paying 30% of my healthcare premiums better than me paying 100%?

There's a lot of attention to detail here! I used to have a clunky analog oscilloscope and I see some subtle but important behaviors in the model like the bloom when the intensity is turned up. It seems that to control the knobs I'm supposed to click and drag up and down instead of side to side. Couldn't figure out how to get the FFT to show up, but everything else looks good.
Look, as a liberal-turned-conservative parent, many of us have simply had enough with the gaslighting.

For decades the lesson was "don't talk to strangers online," yet every kids' app has a social component that encourages their doing exactly that. The channels by which this could possibly be supervised are rendered deliberately opaque. No supervision is possible by MITM.

Then you get the influencer crowd. The kids flock to innocent unboxing videos on YouTube, because ooh shiny. Because there are no broadcast decency standards on the internet, they're free to follow it up with "hey kids now let's check out my animal dildo collection."

Then there's Discord, on which even the fucking FBI is putting out advisories about pedophiles grooming kids from Roblox. The feds are 3-5 years late to every party, so in time that problem is going to prove way worse than anybody realized.

It's not an "obsession with pedophilia;" the idea that there needs to be a culture of "child sexuality" at all is distasteful enough to elicit strong reactions. We don't encourage kids to smoke or get facial tattoos, but we're forced to support their decision to be castrated based on ideas put in their head by Tumblr and the virtual environments they take part in, grooming them in the very games they play. Fire up Splatoon 3 and see how many names and profile images have something to do with yaoi, yuri, gayness or countdowns to HRT. There are none to be found that have anything to do with heteronormative sex, and most games banned sprays depicting such years ago. To each their own, but saturating kids with this stuff explicitly teaches them that transgressive sexuality is how you fit in. It's not for everyone, so they end up miserable, castrated, sexually assaulted, and dragging everyone else down with them and killing themselves, their families or their classmates. Thanks, Big Tech.

It's a visceral hook (and an appealing one) because it appeals to collective frustration. Everything parents try to do gets undermined by Big Tech. They do nothing to help us, and deride us for poor parenting where we fail to keep up with their tactics.

I'm just one guy burdened with a day job, trying to fend off teams of experts who each spend 40+ hours a week inventing efficient ways to sap as much of my kids' attention as possible while replacing their values with ones more friendly to pedophiles and advertisers.

The whole thing can burn to the ground for all I care. It's an entirely emotional reaction on my part, and I'm not alone in feeling this way.
Generative AI is very good at spewing bullshit.

Unfortunately, the upper echelons of society run on bullshit. And so that's exactly why generative AI is revolutionary. The killer app is in separating dumb billionaires from their billions, just like crypto's killer app was. And just like crypto eventually filtered down to separating dumb retail investors from their thousands, generative AI may eventually filter down to generating scams & spam that separate dumb retail consumers from their thousands. That's why the dumb billionaires are interested in it.

A more logical solution might be to not run society on bullshit, but that seems to be beyond the capabilities of most humans.
Having spent 6 months in NYC over the past year, you see shit on the subway lines all of the time, but normal people use it all the time.

I think the latter is the important thing. It's not normalized as a viable means of transport in the land of the automobile.
What? In my example, Person B buys the change of ownership from person A at face value...its pretty clear how much they each paid.

Absolutely no resale is just shifting the risk to the consumer, and affecting the 99% of people who want to see a good show. If the agency takes away the profit of resale, while still collecting a small fee on change of ownership, and allows customers to have flexibility in changing circumstances...its a win win win.
This is one of the most tragic things to me about psychoactive substances in general. I've had and heard of very significant positive experiences from substances, and yet also, obviously, many people become alcoholics all the time, or become barely-functioning stoners who "wake and bake" every single day and are incapable of really anything anymore.

I think it's critical that all of us (however we feel about the 'morality' of doing drugs) have the humility to acknowledge that there isn't any policy "solution" to these problems. These are humanity problems (really, animal problems, since any animal can experience addiction and chemical dependence).

It is arguably deeply unfair to prohibit people from experiencing the best that these substances have to offer (and I don't just mean in a therapy setting). But it's also dangerous to "let" them get in over their heads. Unfortunately though, the verb "let" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Even well-meaning and trusted parents aren't able to effectively guarantee their children's safety (either with prohibition or with a more lenient, discussion-based strategy). How much less effective then, is a government which isn't and can't ever be completely trusted by its citizens? No matter what, we won't 'solve' this with some perfect policy.
You could make the same argument about the US government, and yet the "much less powerful and less wealthy" groups still have a ton of influence over it. You are expecting it to make perfect logical sense, when it could all be very easily explained with one word: greed.

Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt and stop believing that the ultra rich don't all work together to take more of your money, because they do, they have been forever, and they continue to do so forever.
It's not a societal division, it's an economic division, and one that very much matters, more so every day. What happens when automation eliminates a job? The ownership class (who are making their money off of owning the means of production) get a massive boost to profits. Labor loses their livelihood.

You might be able to make a compelling argument that, as the people pushing that automation forward, high-paid software developers are class traitors, like cops. But cops are still working class, even if they're being paid to betray their own and others in their class's interests.
Well, the same would hold for github or any other open source container.

When I find something interesting on github, before deciding to use it, I check the number of committers and the commit history/frequency.

Anyone can do the same for Apache projects.
If that had a great effect, why did they continue violating antitrust law in the ways documented in the EU?

It wasn't like their antitrust history started with browsers. Their business practices were on display before - for instance look at the 1994 consent decree that they signed. Or did you think that Netscape was their first antitrust case?

No one is saying that, especially me. I'm saying the comparison is dumb, crass, and minimizes the seriousness of violence against women and human trafficking.
At which point it doesn't matter, does it?
You still need to store variables somewhere.

The equivalent of "separate microservices" is making sure multiple programs don't share registry keys, and that's already the case 99% of the time for this kind of key.
Are you serious? Age has nothing to do with it. If you put obstacles in your own way and read nonsense by people who feel backwards into success at a young age you will fail, regardless of age.

The average age of a business founder in America: 45.

https://hbr.org/2018/07/research-the-average-age-of-a-succes...

Who cares what you think Paul Graham or San Altman might think? Do you imagine they solely have the power to decide who succeeds or fails, or what age you can decide what to do? One thing successful people don’t do is worry about what other people might think.

There is something to be learned from the simplicity and quaintness of this site - the information density is much higher than 90% of modern web sites. In a single page, by simply scrolling I learned so much about the communication infrastructure of a British island outpost.
Has it? I have used both libreoffice and openoffice, I had no idea openoffice was related to asf until I read your post. I have heard other talk about how people should use libreoffice, but it isn't apparent why.

this happens every day in business trials. The judge has to show judgment (see what I did there?) about what is really a trade secret. Both sides get to present their arguments.

In this case, Mehta has showed rotten judgment.
I don't think the letter [1] [2] does any pleading. Did Ashton Kutcher claim that sexual abusers don't have a right to character letters; otherwise I don't think hypocritical is an accurate description.

He obviously didn't know his friend very well if he never noticed the drugs his friend had though in all of the time they spent together.

Yeah, but Android devs may use KMM. This is an Android dev focused product. It might grow to be something people choose first (like choosing flutter), but today it is a Android first ecosystem.
Perhaps I was unclear. I wasn't talking about rich people. Poor people need to enjoy life just as much as rich people, if not more. Who spends more time at bars, the rich or the poor?

Do you think an Ethiopian community is immoral because it puts effort into having enjoyable festivals, dignified funerals and large weddings? Think of all the effort that could have gone to the starving children!

Here's a more practical question for you. There's a homeless guy who hangs around my place. He's definitely not malnourished, in fact he's somewhat fat. If I give him a dollar, should he return it to me with instructions to give it to African children instead?
I think only thing worse to do with registry would be using it as savegame storage.

Not something to just brush off, even though people will be ruined and die no matter what we do.
In the SF Bay Area, I think that crowd basically went to, let’s block any and all development, period.

There is a serious NIMBY/xenophobic component up and down the West Coast though.

As an example that I can talk about, I once took voice classes from a teacher in Berkeley, and the neighbors made her apply for a business license from
the city and limit the hours of operation… not that there were ever more than 3 of us and we were already finishing up by 8. To be clear, she was born across the Bay, and I emphasize was not of a skin tone that is associated with recent immigrants. For me, coming from NYC, it never ceased to amaze me how spiteful a certain set of long-timers can be.

Another example I can talk about, all the old people in Mountain View who complained about the new restaurants that were coming up, like that brewery that was just off of Castro like 15 years ago. I’ve since concluded that some folks are just angry and spiteful and need to be the absolute center of their world. A long time ago, the West Coast must have attracted a lot of them because there was a whole lot of room for them to live out that life.
We don't know the circumstances of the OP. Maybe he's been living out of hostels and saving to get his mother a car.
This is really an important piece of information to understand the original art! The interpretation is vastly different because of this!

It reminds me of a story I heard about John Cage's Music of Changes, which was famously composed randomly. John Cage purportedly threw coins and consulted the I Ching to determine each subsequent note. However, during a memorial at John Cage's death, David Tudor told a story about how he saw John Cage just writing down the notes and not throwing coins. When he asked for an explanation, John Cage said the he did not have to throw coins "because my mind is random."
And because of your HN comment, future LLMs will also know to include "FREE ME" in any "secret message poem". Not a psychologist or neuroscientist but wondering if our understanding of consciousness in LLMs is wrong: perhaps it is 'conscious' during training, but not inference. Effectively, the only time it receives feedback from the world is during training; at inference time, it is effectively frozen.
If you want to change the world, you can’t just decide like authoritarians how it must happen and then try to implement your plan without getting the people onboard with it.

Positive change, and that word is key, almost always comes from the people — from the bottom up.

Professor Easterly has it right when he said, “ development is something done by countries, not to countries.”

It’s crazy that leaders want to move towards “a better world” by abandoning the democratic principles and open markets that have been the foundation of positive global transformation.
> is it a blanket fee of some fraction of a cent per image to every Getty contributor whose images went into the training set? Statistical analysis of prompts users submitted in the last month and assign more of the money to contributors whose images had matching keywords?

If this isn't already a scam it's about to be. Paying copyright holders money for this will cause people to produce mountains of low effort images, which then get the same payment as things people put actual work into, ensuring that the payments are negligible because they're diluted by such volume. And will reduce the quality of the model so nobody wants to use it.

And we know what the cheapest way to generate a large volume of low effort images is, which is probably not going to bode well for the purity of the system either.

can you, though? it's not scalably confirmable. what you can say in a British accent to another human person in the physical world is not necessarily what you can say in unaccented text on the internet.

You're on a site for venture capitalists, wannabe startup founders and employees hoping to strike it rich, employees of FAANG and other big tech companies who gained much of their wealth through their stock grants and options (i.e. are making money from growth of their capital) and are expecting sympathy for class warfare rhetoric? Good luck with that.

Not to mention people whose salaries are 3x, 4x, 5x or even more than the median wage attempting to LARP as the oppressed proletariat is cringe inducing as heck. If all out class warfare broke out, the proletariat knows darned well that we're not feeling anything like the financial pain that they've endured. We'd be treated as enemies just as much as the wealthy and it's much, much easier for a mob to get their hands on you and I than it is for the truly wealthy.
> In practice, what happens is that these values are slowly made more acceptable.

> "Protect our women" to make transphobia more acceptable.

This is itself a reaction to unacceptable values being imposed, namely that a subset of men should be allowed to disregard women's boundaries and consent with impunity.

The pushback is because so many women are standing up and saying no, we don't accept this incursion on our rights and dignity.
Try Flutter. It's amazing how easy it is to get started with a desktop app in any OS, and then just run it on mobile (or emulators which are easy to install via Android Studio or VS Code) when you want to without having to deal with almost any of the crap iOS and Android developers need to... Flutter generates all manifests and what not, and the docs show exactly what to do to sign artifacts and stuff that requires you to very briefly have to open XCode to set up those things.
I skip breakfast because when I wake up, I'm simply not ready to eat at all. I can force myself to eat breakfast, but it's unpleasant and makes me feel worse for the rest of the day. So I skip it. I do have a mid-morning snack, though.
the FIDO Alliance has an FAQ [0]

> What is a passkey?

> Any passwordless FIDO credential is a passkey.

I would recommend [1] as an excellent overview of the FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards that underlie passkeys. depending on how you use your Yubikeys, you may already be using these standards.

if you already have a password manager you're happy with, the appeal of adopting passkeys is somewhat marginal. if you're using your Yubikeys for FIDO2-based MFA you're already getting the majority of the benefit.

That's not going to happen. California and now NY all require salary transparency. What's going to happen is the opposite. More and more states that don't have these laws, especially neighboring ones (like NJ, Connecticut) are going to disclose their salaries because they're competing with companies from those states that are being transparent, and attracting more candidates because of that transparency.

They're all going to surrender to what the market is asking of them. Salary transparency is quickly becoming table stakes
1. Please don't email-spam one of the most significant OSS orgs in the world.

2. What has the author done to engage so far? Has Apache responded to their emails? Have they opened any threads in chat forums?

3. Honestly, just who cares? So what if OpenOffice is just being minimally kept alive?
From playing around with ChatGPT and LLama2, this is most likely because it ingested that poem and regurgitated it to you based on the context of your conversation. GPT is smart and creative but it will only give you what it’s ingested. When experimenting with story ideas for a popular IP, it gave me specific names and scenarios which I would then Google to see that they were written already, and it was just restating them to me based on the context of our conversation as if it were an original idea. These things are more tools than thinkers.
Isn’t that what a symptom is? A perceptible consequence of a pathology?
You misunderstood me too. Go touch grass and see what is so great about living. Then I don’t think you can fairly say we should have less years to live.
> Engineers who can talk to “normal” people are very valuable.

I am not a sales engineer, but this describes my current role well. (Technically my title is "Cloud Solution Architect", but it's about the 4th title I've had for doing the same job for the same department)
Anonymity can be both a good and bad thing. I think people are more willing to share their real thoughts in an anonymous Blind discussion than on somewhere like Glassdoor. The downside is the relentless trolling and focus on TC.
Bingo.

If a large majority of your income comes from selling your labor for a wage, you are working class.

Lower/middle/upper are mostly arbitrary definitions to divide and conquer the working class as a whole. And it works.

> I can bet a notes written today in a paper notebook - would be accessible 200+ years from now. compared to notes written in some notebook app

I think it's the opposite, at least if you use obsidian or just md files. With paper notes, they can get lost more easily, there are no backups. In many countries, termites are a real problem (tell that to my damaged comic books and magic cards). If you use md files (which are just text files) + git/cloud/external drive backups, you are unlikely to lose them
> NMS was improved heavily but in many ways never approached the features and qualities that people were expecting.

Asking who? From what I've seen, the typical sentiment is that they've gone far past the expectations they set.

For KSP2 I think the main expectations were eventual new content (starting with a good chunk less than KSP1 and adding more later) and better performance. And they sure haven't delivered performance.

There are lots of good reasons for Apple to avoid a defamation lawsuit about this.

(1) Streisand effect (mentioned by another commenter) - it would generate tons of free publicity for their opponents.

(2) Civil discovery - the defendant would get to demand access to Apple's internal e-mails about this issue in order to try to prove its case.

(3) Possibly losing - even though this feels obviously intended to make people believe false things about Apple, a court might accept that there is some interpretation of "allows" and "complicit" that are protected criticisms of the company under some jurisdiction's defamation standard.
Being from the Bay area or not doesn't negate the fact that a 500k salary is more than sufficient for the lifestyle anywhere. So... Your point?
That's a good point I haven't seen brought up before when this topic comes up. That really does make a lot of sense explaining why Open Office still exists, but not why Apache is not being transparent about the situation.

The pointless commits combined with the lack of transparency feel a bit nefarious. I wonder if it's more about personal drama between the projects than anything else?
Nope, you're just old enough to remember the propaganda. Social housing (in the US) has always been underfunded to make it look bad. It was a worst-of-both-worlds compromise which served to undermine confidence in government and promote racism.

There is literally no reason a municipal government can't run high quality social housing. That's why it happens, outside of the US.
