> It doesn't have to be school, but you should learn how to manage stress. You can have a perfectly fine job and still get stressed out, or have a horrible job and manage fine.

There's something awfully broken in a society that would argue that the entire youth of a nation should be conditioned to accept stress as normal or acceptable, and that stress should be considered normal in any working environment.
Trouble there is whenever spending is promised for new ideas, it becomes campaign fodder for someone to stop that spending because "taxes are too high" or whatever line gets conservative voters foaming at the mouth.

It's an uphill battle to get new funding, and talking points move faster than budget approvals and program results.
I wonder how it works from the business perspective. There is an adverse-selection argument against introducing ad-free versions of an ad-supported service: the people who are most likely to pay for an ad-free experience are also the same people who are most valuable to advertisers. So if that group is gone, the remaining users could either command less ad revenue, or be shown higher CPM ads (e.g. ads for prescription drugs, not available in EU; or ads for adult content, incompatible with a family-friendly platform). How would this work? Or maybe the adverse selection assumption is faulty? Or maybe this choice could help avoid an EU fine of some sort?
That's probably true for the vast majority of things, isn't it?

I also hate ballet, but I suspect that if I made an effort I would learn to appreciate it. However, I don't make it a point to go around loudly telling everyone that I hate ballet as if that was a badge of honor.

It's understated the impact that Encarta had on Microsoft dominance in the home computer market. Encarta came about at a time when internet access was not yet commonplace and "multimedia" PCs were next big thing. Amiga, Atari and Apple had CD-ROM drives but only the PC had Encarta. It was revolutionary for 90s teens with homework assignments. These days some might use the term "killer app" to describe it. Obviously there were many other factors that led to Wintel dominance, but Encarta certainly played a part.
It happens to all of us by accident. That's fine.

Show HN: Web app to generate AI pictures with logos "hidden" in them
Hey there

Some time ago I built a site that generates AI pictures in a style of GitHub logo (https://octoart.vercel.app/). It's completely free, and even official GitHub accounts in Twitter and Instagram (yes turns out they have Instagram) posted about it. It was fun.

So I thought it would be cool to build an app that works with any logo, so people can generate nice branded pictures with their logo.

I went on to build https://logopictureai.com/. It's build with Next.js, Replicate API and Supabase.

It's a very early version, I built it in a weekend.

It works like this: your upload a logo, type a prompt (or select a predefined one), select number of variations to generate and click a button. Images will be delivered to your email in 2-3 minutes.

As I said, it's pretty early and I am not sure if it's really useful. It works decently with most logos, but sometimes can generate something weird.

Anyways, would love to hear your thought. Thanks!

Every article I found on the history of the practice stated they were taxes. They were called "tributes" at the time, but the practice of landed gentry getting payment in exchange for protecting (or not hurting) you is a form of tax, regardless of whether you're doing it willingly or not. Even paying tribute to the gods is a form of tax, because people are afraid that if they don't pay tribute, the gods will be angered and destroy their crops. Tax is really just materials the powerful use to rule or control.

Property ownership is not inherent to taxation, there are many forms of tax.

From a server or a native client, you can send whatever RTP packets you want, but you cannot send whatever RTP packets you want from a web client, and you cannot have access to the RTP packets from a web client and do whatever you want with them, at least not very easily. We are working on an extension to WebRTC called RtpTransport that would allow for just that, but it's in early stages of design and standardization.

To make this explicit: maintaining accurate DNS configuration is extremely important to enterprise security and availability.

Allowing outdated DNS entries to persist can open up all sorts of horrible opportunities for impersonation, phishing, etc.

At the same time, removing a DNS entry that you still need can cause massive downtime.

So anything that makes it easier for ops teams to observe and maintain DNS (in whatever ugly way available) is probably a security win in the long run.

While I admit that I am a bit envious of the large 4k monitors that my coworkers use, I have managed to make it through life without buying anything larger than a 1440p monitor.

What exactly is the educational advantage (for the demographic that the raspberry pi is supposed to be educating) of the inclusion of 2x 4k ports and does that advantage override the opportunity cost of including the ports?

In other words '1080p ought to be enough for anybody learning how computers work from an SBC.

As someone who has worked on ADMET risk for algorithmically designed drugs, this is a nothing burger.

"Potentially lethal molecules" is a far cry away from "molecule that can be formulated and widely distributed to a lethal effect." It is as detached as "potentially promising early stage treatment" is from "manufactured and patented cure."

I would argue the Verge's framing is worse. "Potentially lethal molecule" captures _every_ feasible molecule, given that anyone who has worked on ADMET is aware of the age-old adage: the dose makeths the poison. At a sufficiently high dose, virtually any output from an algorithmic drug design algorithm, be it combinatorial or 'AI', will be lethal.

Would a traditional, non-neural net algorithm produce virtually the same results given the same objective function and apriori knowledge of toxic drug examples? Absolutely. You don't need a DNN for that, we've had the technology since the 90s.

> I'm not sure why you say "it is not."

Pardon my ignorance it looked like it isn’t replacing WebRTC entirely yet, but glad I was wrong, I never tried anything QUIC for media related, would love to try the MoQ tool you did, and like the fact it’s rust based too as the one I did was written in rust. I will give it a test for sure, it’s been two years and I wasn’t following any updates so hopefully there’s an improvement compared what it was back then.

> takes fragmented MP4 input from ffmpeg and sends it to a MoQ relay.

Just a quick question, is ffmpeg a “requirement” per se for that CLI tool? As I remember I had to ditch ffmpeg in favor of gstreamer since the former one was eating up a lot of resources compared to Gstreamer, and it was crucial issue since the server was basically an SBC on a flying drone.

Sure, skepticism is a useful tool. Understanding someone’s motivations and how their wealth influences their worldview is a natural approach for assessing their position.

However, the conclusion presented here–taken at face value–is reductive and ironically spells out what appears to be the author’s own bias.

I’m not one to go out on a limb to defend affluence, but is it not enough to draw conclusions (whatever they may be) based on veracity and sound logic? Or shall we all just categorically dismiss the opinions of the person further up from you on the economic ladder?
> It feels to me like the pandemic fundamentally changed many people's mindsets with their relationship to work.

An underrated part of the pandemic was that baby boomers retired in huge swaths. And immigration for skilled workers plummeted.

There are simply MANY less workers in the economy now. So workers have a ton of bargaining power.

(Before we jump to the conclusion that everything is rosy, there is a huge downside to a labor-led economy: we'll probably start seeing declines in GDP eventually. Less total hours of labor productivity across the market divided by the amount of people means less labor per person).

Off topic, my initial reaction was it would have been more of a flex if they managed to get the domain gov.ai, since US gov already owns the .gov TLD, but it turns out that this domain is already used by government of Anguilla which already owns the ai TLD.

Looking into this further, I also learnt that in fact selling ai TLD has become a non-trivial part of Anguilla's GDP since chatgpt was released.
> My coworkers are less happy because when I start bouncing during a video call they get sea sick :)

That’s priceless! :) Jokes aside, do you hold the laptop or camera? I don’t get why they get sea sick. When I look at a screen and see the camera moving vertically (up and down) while the person isn’t, I kinda feel a little bit like motion sickness (I don’t really have motion sickness otherwise). But if a person is moving vertically up and down but the camera level is still, I’m fine.
He would get the benefit of the doubt if he otherwise had insightful things to say. The problem is that his entire body of work is gaffes and nonsensical statements like this. His interview with Ezra Klein is filled with him whiffing on softball questions.

> If you have ever wondered why you see basements in colder climates (and conversely more slab-on-grade in warmer ones) is because the bottom of your construction need to be situated under the frost line to prevent shifting caused by the ground freezing.

The other reason I've heard is that many warmer climates in the US are also very wet. Along the Gulf Coast, you basically can't have a basement unless you want there to be an unanticipated swimming pool in it because the water table is only a few feet below the surface.

One of the common modifications for controllers is thumb-stick extenders that simply make the analog input more precise, not "faster". I don't think you can detect this using your strategy, since there is no change to the electronics of the controller. To the console and game software it just looks like the player is more accurate than others, and reducing the in-game look and movement speed wouldn't remove the advantage.

Some combination of heuristics (target acquisition time, moving target tracking, etc) would probably be the only way. But what if a player is genuinely exceptional - should they be punished for that?
This is really what people should be looking for in a hire. If this person joins my team, can I reasonably expect them to bring some sense into our code/infra/schedule?

Fair use is quite restricted, though. It is not at all clear whether training AIs would fall under fair use.

Your example of a meme already runs into similar issues. There have been successful lawsuits where meme users have had to pay damaged due to copyright infringement, see for example former U.S. Rep. Steve King having to pay $750 in damages for using a Success Kid meme.
What are you replying to? The article is about how Dry shouldn't be over applied.

Dry is literally "Don't Repeat Yourself" and is definitely pushed for cleaning up redundant code, so it's not unreasonable for people to think that's what about. It's only recently that people have pointed out that there's a difference between Duplicated code and Repeated code.
I admit too that Facebook's ads are the most relevant and most tasteful from any site I've used. For example, from a Facebook ad I found out about battery-backed generators that are capable of charging an electric vehicle. Facebook's ads, in my opinion, also tend to be non-annoying. I haven't had to deal with video ads, ads that interfere with the user experience, and grotesque ads featuring toenail fungus and creepy-looking images.

My complaint with Facebook, though, has more to do with the live feed algorithm recommendations, where I have to sift through memes and other viral posts I'm not interested in as well as viral political posts that often post misinformation. I miss the old days of Facebook where my feed was strictly limited to posts from my friends, plus the occasional ad.
