Abnormal - certainly. Unnatural - not a good term, since it implies connection to the philosophy where "natural" somehow implies good. Cancer is natural. Losing a leg to cancer would be "natural" too. But that term is useless - there's no useful distinction between losing a leg via "natural" or "unnatural" event. If there would be a person if my family thag lost a leg it'd depend on their wishes I assume - some people are comfortable talking about their loss or joking about it, others aren't.
For the same reason height is, it is one of the first thing we notice when we look at a person and it rarely changes.
I don't know if you found out Parcels from the famous Overnight too.
>LLMs and diffusion models don’t “consume content” and the content they produce doesn’t come from inspiration, greed, boredom or any number of human traits.

No LLMs use a cold and calculating algorithm to produce content that it equivalent and at times Better than anything a human can produce. When a human consumes content produced by an LLM it is indistinguishable from content that came from inspiration, greed, boredom or any number of human traits. You can't tell. That is the future. We can identify flaws now but we all know those flaws will be rapidly disappearing.

What the LLM tells us, what it teaches us, is that the human condition is trivial. We are a biological machines made out of wetware and the LLM is a solid state machine made out of silicon. Two machines that make content. We like to pretend that the stuff that comes from inspiration, greed or boredom as if those are things that have deep intrinsic meaning in the universe. No. It's a lie we tell ourselves. We make up the meaning, and so does the LLM.

Society is fucking changing. Creativity, art, works of inspiration... all that stuff will become as common as water and plastic cups. That's just the way things are accept it or don't.

But here's the thing. Don't pull justice into the mix. Don't say that a crime was committed because an LLM produced something better and faster than a human could. Don't call obviously original writing and original art a COPY when it is obviously NOT. These are the same tactics used by patent trolls.

This is a twisting of justice because people are afraid. No different from how a patent troll twists justice because people want profit.

here are four pieces of original art that I produced in 10 seconds using an LLM with the prompt: "the most original piece of art ever". Sue me!!
You can say the same of, for example, creationists, and people on the right, and lots of other groups.

The problem in all cases is that the criticism and question is more apparent than real, and it does not extend to a whole lot of shared assumptions.
Long after the last human logs off we still have to run it because it will be the primary economical engine of tech.
He has a younger sister. As for other outlets for making friends and socializing, team sports are indispensable. Also great, and surprisingly underutilized -- in my observation -- are playgrounds.

With playgrounds you get the best part of school, recess, without the rest of it.

If parents would look up from their phones for a minute and watch what's going on in playgrounds they'd be amazed.

Recently I saw about 20 kids, across a wide age range, hold a spontaneous, well-organized game of Among Us.

You won't just make friends there; you'll run in Draco Malfoys too; and that's also valuable.
The point is they never learned how to create any value because they’re sitting on a goldmine.
You just pretending harder. Letting them rape kids and get away with it? That's low. Every time I hear an American invoke child protection I laugh out loud remembering how the FBI executed Epstein and how protected pedophiles were in the Maxwell process.

So no, there's not less censorship in the US than in the EU. You just gave up trying to say anything meaningful.
I still use adblocker on everything else and I know YT without adblock / premium is terrible.

However, YT premium is only 2-3 USD/mo in India. So, I use that to get ad-free experience on YT and also YT music is great.
> there is plenty of talk of love, there is, and traditionally has been plenty of fear-mongering.

Which is perfectly consistent. The idea is that love is better than fear, but fear is still better than lack of contrition. Accepting this fear as an intermediate step, instead of immediately expecting perfection, is an important psychological step.
The literal answer is that it's a fashion from early 1800's Europe that carried forward, fell out of favour in 1861 when France and other European countries abolished passports and that came back again as World War I loomed. *

I mean that's the history of passports, which started out with an indication of the person, but it's a fair question to ask why the hell are there passports anyway.

( * Sure, you could start with limited issue by King Henry V of England in 1414 but that's really getting in the weeds here. )
This is still illegal. GDPR is NOT about cookies ("the collection mechanism"), but about the data being collected ("personal information").

So as long as you are collecting personal information, there is no legal difference whether you do it via cookies or another different mechanism.
and yet at this point pretty much expected. So obnoxious and odious - the reality is for any C/C++/rust or similar compilation you need a minimum of 1gb per compilation core for compilation alone, before you consider the rest of the OS :-/
Sure, but like, that's not what we're talking about. OP says western society is "outsourcing the job of perpetuating the population," as if there is some shirking of responsibility going on, or we all need to care about this for some reason. That's macro-level, not the personal choice to have children or not. No one is asking them to do that, so it's unreasonable to foist responsibility back on western society and then shame them for not fulfilling that responsibility.

Why is maintaining the human population at or above present levels something that so obviously needs to be done?
Dirty oil money made you filthy rich, while destroying the environment. And from that pedastal you judge about other filthy capitalists. It is all a joke.

(But, maybe you are right, hackernews is full of people saturated on a pedestal and judging from there with a socialistic mindset. Well, it is a virus, that takes on young people with yet underdeveloped brains. ;)
Last time I looked home educated kids didn't do better on average when you corrected for parents. They even did worse than average in STEM fields, but of course since they were on average equal they did better on average on non-STEM subjects. This makes sense since it is mostly moms that home school and women are often weak at STEM themselves.

Can look at some links about this:

Don’t underestimate what open source can and will do just to spite things they despise
Imagine: a python formatter with an open source license that has a special clause to forbid usage by a programmer who have previously released a competing closed-source formatter.
This is my favorite edition, as it is the one I discovered from my parents' bookshelf in my early college years. Highly recommend the translation, and the photos. Lao Tsu's writing is just as relevant today as when it was originally written, thousands of years ago.

The original edition from 1972 is available on Amazon, as well: https://www.amazon.com/Tao-Te-Ching-Lao-Tsu/dp/039471833X
I'm surprised this peaked at 2000 rather than earlier
Someone showed me a similar game type thing they had made with GPT-4 and I could find the code that it had used just by searching Github. It had taken an open source project and made some modifications and spliced a few extra bits together - which is still impressive but the bulk of it was already out there. This matched my limited experience too, unsurprisingly it does a lot better for problems where there is already code and discussion out there.

I wasn't able to find exact code for the posted game though so I think something cleverer may have occurred!
I call bullshit. No prompts, no nothing, just the finished product and a few claims.

Almost 200 comments and Ctrl-F "repro" is zero.

Also let me be straight: I am full-on believer in AI. But not in Midjourney, DALL•E 3 and GPT-4 (or other LLMs) - these are not real AI, just VP hype cycle artifacts.
cool idea, will chat with our designer :)

Well. No. Not all "international" websites force you to accept being tracked for advertisement purposes with a random joke.

I didn't consent to be tracked and my browser is full of their cookies that very much look like tracking cookies.

Some people clearly don't spend the few minutes to read the GDPR. It's not a magical mystic parchment that needs years of law courses to grasp the meaning. If you can read my comment, you can read the GDPR. You need to get an informed consent first, you need to leave a choice, both choices should be as easy to make, you shouldn't force people into tracking. How hard is it seriously?
Yes, in a universe where people easily ignore their basics instincts it doesn’t matter.
How does it work with nodejs? Iirc they don’t support ebpf
The repository's README.md links to <https://docs.streamdal.com/sdks>, which is not there.

Those SDKs are simply libraries though, aren't they? "SDK" often stands for more than that (e.g., development tools, bits of code not properly packaged), and may be appalling if you don't want to wrap a project around such an SDK, as opposed to merely incorporating a library.

But then I wonder why it has to be a library at all, limited to just 3 languages: why not to implement a more unixy interface, perhaps with named pipes? And/or a library with C API (so that it can be called from any common language), providing file descriptors to write into. With the former approach, basic named pipes or files and actual tail -f can be used, too.
form.io is more focussed on letting companies build form applications quicker. It's not a survey tool per se :)
For something more playful, I'd happily reccomend the Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast. We tend to focus on arguments and theories that either entered the mainstream long-term or were prescient in retrospect, but many philosophers (some you've heard of, some you haven't!) held the /wildest/ of world-views. The host is great, love his voice and enthusiasm, and while I did fall off eventually, I'd love to pick it back up. There's a lot of media I wish I had more time for.

Anecdotal, but I paid $300 to get a 30x coverage full human genome scan of myself from Nebula Genomics.

Within 24 hours, before I had mustered up the courage to read my results, I started getting ads for early onset parkinsons meds.

I’ll give you one guess what disease I happen to be extremely genetically predisposed to based on the results of the scan...
We live in a culture where it matters a lot. We possess biology where it matters a lot. If we were robots which are about to be designed and programmed from scratch, you could ask if it's worth it to make us sexually dimorphic and ingrain it in our cultural programming. But you're too late, it's done already. Pretending it doesn't exist because you'd like it not to won't get you very far.
Doesn't matter if you care. IPs have been ruled to be personal information and GDPR mandates that the collection of personal information requires informed consent — regardless of whether you use cookies or some other mechanism to do so.

If you don't care, switch on DNT and never see those banners again (assuming this ruling preveils).
I got to see a ball painted with vantablack in real life. It was surreal, it looked almost flat when you glanced at it but then you realized it had depth if you looked more closely. I wasn’t allowed to touch it, the man with gloves was very serious about that. I really wanted to touch it. I bet it would’ve been weird to feel it as you looked at it.

This is apparently more black than vantablack. I have no need for this but I kind of want to buy some to paint a ball and finally see what it’s like
1. It dropped to like ‘97 level which was already too high

2. Pretty sure calorie intake is not uniformly distributed so if avg dropped bc some folks went from 5000kcal to 4000kcal a day it’s not going to reduce overall obesity rate

If you want your Chrome to be as fast as possible, you would get rid of all extensions you have. It doesn't matter even if it's an adblock atp.

Hence calling it a feature, not a bug is rather misleading. Since you went and installed plugins understanding that it might and it will affect your workflow.
Apple always does game comparisons like this for their conferences though. The intel era was even worse with this iirc.
worse, I've seen supposedly unused columns be used for some other purpose, and then existing analytics fall apart.
they surely doesn't help with the "migration" (application layer) part but they help you manage things with code, which is better than nothing (you can do some heavy-lifting to make it work in another provider afterwards)

that's the reason terraform is not really a solution for what I speak about in the blog post.
How do big companies stay alive for so long? I guess it's still possible to coast on a single success for so long that the company has time to completely rot from the inside before any of it reaches their customers. Or maybe the early money gets invested in a bajillion projects, on the very slim chance that the company isn't a one-trick pony.
You are right, the problem isn't 100% on the schools or the politicians, it's probably both. And I agree that no public money should go to private schools, nor the press for that matter. At the end of the day power resides in the politicians, so they are the ones most at fault (+voters). A hard problem to fix when you have to vote for option A or option B
The holding company for Meta in the EU is located in Ireland because the double Irish system of accounting allowed them to avoid paying corporate taxes in the EU. (Not sure if this is still the case, I think they now always have to pay the minimum 13% rate.)

I think any kind of enforcement against Meta has to go through Ireland because of that. The EU is a treaty, not a country. It is always local authorities that have to enforce legal action.
> With cable you’re paying the cable company, not the content providers.

Cable and satellite such as Comcast, Time Warner Cable or DirecTV pay networks like ESPN and TNT a certain amount PER CUSTOMER for programming content each month. The median price paid for each channel a subscriber gets is 14 cents. Sports content costs the cable company the most, ESPN was estimated to cost $8.37 per month in 2018, but arguably actually should cost much more if you consider time each channel is watched versus its cost:

Replacing SQL and stored procedure to develop business logic in Java in the microservices system can indeed gain framework advantages, but the development complexity is not “micro” at all. Java lacks the computational capability of structured datasets, and the code is much longer than SQL. Even with the help of technologies such as Stream and Kotlin, when faced with slightly more complex computational requirements, from the perspective of code length, its “micro” level is still far from comparable to SQL (stored procedures).

Even in terms of frameworks, microservices are not necessarily “micro” enough. Java is a compiled language, and when code changes, it needs to be recompiled and deployed, which is tedious and may force unrelated parts of the entire application to be compiled together and deployed. To make each service independent, it is necessary to use a heavy mechanism like Docker. Unable to achieve lightweight hot swap, which is very unfriendly for microservices that originally wanted to adapt to frequent business changes.
Not my experience at all, and I know a lot of Catholics in two countries (two continents, in fact).

I suspect it is an American, and possibly Irish thing - the guilt thing is a stereotype in the UK too (but not true in practice).

The GDPR says that consent must be freely given and freely revocable, otherwise it isn't real consent. It would be obviously unfair if, for example, your employer could say "agree to install our spyware on your personal devices or you're fired", or for your landlord to say "agree to let me put surveillance cameras in your apartment or you're evicted". That isn't consent, it's coercion. A right that you can be coerced to relinquish isn't a right.

Facebook have a right to charge a subscription fee. They have a right to ask you to provide your personal data. They don't have the right to charge their users a privacy tax.
Normal is a poor description of what you’re getting at. The rate of homosexuality has no bearing on the morality or how natural homosexuality is.

People generally don’t assign moral implications to unusual genetic conditions like Albinism which are described as abnormal even though they are literally natural.

Homosexual exists across the animal kingdom, it’s literally both natural and abnormal mammalian behavior. That isn’t normally seen as being relevant to people’s acceptance of it.

It's a double standart again.

Newspapers lobbied the EU that it s allowed for them (not sure if it was changed at the end). But if you go to a large european newspaper site (eg spiegel.de) then it explicitely asks you tha you pay to access it or you must agree to behavioral advertising. But facebook should not be allowed to do this.
Everyone can make disasters at the wheel though. If you didn’t mandate insurance, there would be victims with no recourse.
> In many stripes of Christianity, Divine forgiveness is given freely in response to repentance.

Many? I would say it was the central message of Christianity.

Sadly that happens.

For a thousandths time: GDPR prohibits the collection of personal information without informed consent.

It does not matter how you collect that personal information, so whether you use cookies, pen and paper, the digital equivalent of a rube goldberg machine or UUIDs in the URLs — totally meaningless. As soon as you process the IP and use that information for any purpose not considered legitimate interest you are on the hook (and no: if you are in doubt it is not legitimate interest).

Many wrongly believe GDPR is about cookies. It is not. It is about the information and the consent. So whether you change the collection mechanism doesn't make any difference if you still collect the info. It just means you now have to update your consent banner to include that new way of data collection as well ; )
One other interesting question is “how does it work in all the other cases not shown in the video?”

Well I use to have them on whitelist for all these reason, but a) lately the amount of ads has gotten crazy and b) a large amount of videos are fraudulently copyright striken and revenue stolen from creators https://www.streemtunes.com/post/how-did-pewdiepie-get-a-cop...

I think it's egregious how YouTube treats content creators in general and how expect us to foot the content distribution bills in particular, especially since many of the video themselves are ads (they include product placement, or are straight up teasers for products)

I think there's a case to be made at least for non indies to pay proportionally to the minute viewed of their content, to decrease the pressure on monetizing indies.
