True, but it's also interesting to see what survived. My wife is a Nahuatl speaker, and some of the stuff in the book on Omens is still part of the culture, e.g. About owls being a sign of death.

I just got out after 10 years. I work with a lot of people just coming out (just been helping a guy locked up for 40 years, he's doing great).

The biggest issue is that 95% of them will be returned within a few months. Drugs is the main cause. You get out, you have no ID, no job, no family, no friends. You're stuck in a halfway house that is just like being in prison (lots of rules, line up for meal service etc). All the other guys there have a ton of drugs and you swear you won't touch them, but then you do because you're bored and sad. And then you're addicted again. And now you need money to buy more drugs. So you go do something goofy to get money and you get caught and locked up for another 10 piece. Or your parole officer drug tests you and violates your parole and you go do another 3 piece. Or the halfway house owner gets sick of you coming in after 7pm smelling of alcohol so he calls your parole officer and you go do another 3 piece.

Cycle repeats until you die in prison.
I was thinking this would be a good use case for AI. Perhaps you could have a Gimp co-pilot that makes suggestions about what you could do with the image after uploading it to a server somewhere.

Then we would know if the AI is more or less intelligent based on whether it can actually figure out how to find that specific blur function within all of the various dropdowns and sub-menus.
I just spent ~1.5 years of my life on various aspects of debuginfos and that even just for profiling where I only need line/column information. So I feel this comment through and through.
does it still requires to have django-extension/runserver_plus ?
While GTK started off as the GIMP Toolkit, it has since become the GNOME Toolkit, so it doesn't really track GIMP's needs anymore.
From a purely moral/ethical perspective, this doesn’t withstand scrutiny.

The foundational ideas underlying the justice system are inherently religious (in the literal sense) in that they depend on a world view that takes at face value the notion of free will, and assumes that all causal factors are under the control of the perpetrator.

The more we learn about the mechanics of the brain, the less we have a reason to believe in what people typically mean when they say someone did something freely and of their own accord.

This is not to say that people who do bad things shouldn’t be locked up for it. Negative consequences are still important. But the other things we attach to incarceration: retribution/revenge/punishment depend on dubious moral/ethical viewpoints that do not withstand scrutiny and are rooted in old religious moral dogma.

There is a category of brain malfunction that puts someone in the category of a “survivor” deserving our sympathy, support, and respect. And not long ago, those same survivors were looked at as social pariahs for the misfortune of being born with a deficient brain.

But when the malfunction (or collective systemic factors) leads someone to break the law, we’re predisposed to fall back to the deeply entrenched Judeo-Christian viewpoint that insists we are all free to make choices, and this freedom means the wrong choice is sin, and therefore a direct moral indictment.

Except the person who steals food out of necessity has no choice in the place of their birth. No control over growing up in economic circumstances that make it more likely they’ll get caught in the broken prison system. We can retroactively judge the person who deals drugs, but if everything else was equal and we had their brain, we’d have done the same thing.

And again, none of this means that serious crimes aren’t serious or that incarceration isn’t necessary, but we need to fundamentally shift the framing of why we do it, and what is or is not acceptable while doing it.

Yeah, I don't think so. It's x86_64 only, and C only too. Some points from your list make sense now, but most of it is simply not part of Spray's scope, and never has been ...

The CFAA is one of those laws intentionally worded generically so that everything is against the law. But the only time it is enforced is when someone with enough money/power gets upset and buys a DA to start the indictment. I doubt there's anyone with enough money/power that wants to protect human people from google.
So that's the rub, right? You want more regulation for these companies so that individuals don't run off with all of your hard earned money.

The issue is that the SEC isn't doing that. They are simply saying that crypto is bad and we aren't going to do anything about it other than try to ban it. Don't forget that Gensler met personally with that "1 guy at FTX", multiple times.

Never heard of photopea but doesn't appear to be free software or to run locally.
Not surprising. That seems like something he wouldn't care about up until it could somehow be used to own the libs or whatever. There's probably nobody left that even knows about the onion service.
This is the sort of thing that if it even exists at a large company is a pet project of one enthusiast, and obviously that enthusiast was laid off. I doubt a single person at Twitter today cares if their onion service works.
I am ready to oppose any `isFoo` function that doesn't return a boolean. If you ask "Is this a Nan", why would you expect 42 as an answer? Or, "hello". Kinda feels like "Are you at home?" - "Kitchen". It eventually becomes a "yes" through more thought, but eh...

I'd much rather call this "normalizeNaN" or something.
> Can you dispute my actual substance instead of an appeal to authority?

Your comment has no substance. It's absurd. You're a random internet commenter claiming that an economics professor and Nobel Prize winner doesn't know basic math.

Moreover, the article never mentioned "printing money". You seem to have made that up too.

You're misusing the concept of appeal to authority. I'm not claiming that the Nobel Prize proves that all of his theories are correct. However, literally every economics professor in the world knows basic math. It's impossible to become an economics professor, much less a Nobel Prize winner in economics, if you don't know basic math. You're just barking up the wrong tree here.
Im guessing this would've been as illegal had he used Photoshop, or printed pictures out and literally cut and pasted parts around?

So this case can be cited as an example of why we don't need "new laws for AI"; we need to use our existing laws to prosecute crimes, whatever tools are being used.

My cynicism suggests that's not how it will be cited.
Well lucky for you I like building content but lack experience in building engines (something I’d love to learn). Happy to contribute when I have some time. Email is in my profile if you feel like reaching out.
woah. that's actually an awesome idea... so do you dial a room?
I think it comes down to preference. I definitely don't think KDE is amateur, but it certainly lacks the fine polish Apple has the money to pay for.

That said, I find MacOS frustrating at times because basic things can feel like a pain. Switching between several windows of the same application isn't a simple Alt-Tab; the green button enters full screen mode (KDE/Windows F11 Full Screen is equivalent) instead of leaving just the menu bars and application bar on screen; tiling windows isn't as simple as ramming the application against the border you want to expand to. These are simple things I do often in other OS's that have tedious menu workflows in MacOS. I still like a lot of MacOS though.
Synthetic aperture sonar is a massively underrated technology for undersea map making and remote sensing.
How well does this do against Shazam?
I have not. Just guessing but I think it might have to be custom made or uncomfortably tight. Maybe others have done this. The doctor I know that does this makes these little frozen things in a custom freezer tray meant for enemas.
Sounds like your problem is Chrome. Firefox and Safari are not owned by ad companies. Consider using them instead.
I've used it exclusively on my servers for the last 5 years and am now using it on my laptop.

Server side, it's better than running it in Windows. I don't pay a license fee for the OS, so spinning up new VMs is super easy. And set-up, deployment, and long-term operation have all just gone off without any hitches. I've got Let's Encrypt certificates, Postgres databases, and so little overhead that I can't get by with small server SKUs.

On desktop, I still use Windows at work, so I've built a WPF/WebView2 and a GTKSharp/WebKit web app shell that lets me run identical code to my server apps, just as a desktop app. It was pretty fiddly to setup (mostly because GTK is hot garbage), but now that I have it, it just works.
What about an integrated LLM assistant for GIMP? Seems like that's the future for any professional application (e.g., PhotoShop, CAD, Reason)
Just think about golang as the next generation's Java. The same strong points (concurrency, GC, "simplicity" for junior developers), the same egregious mistakes (generics alone prove it for me), the same BigCo backing, the same undeserved early popularity.
Wow, I know you've been locked up, brother.

Nobody will take your call the second you step inside a jail. Best man at your wedding? He's not picking up, I promise you. Literally nobody will call you or write to you. You will get nothing except maybe from your mother. If you are married, forget it.

Humans only like to associate with success. Once you seem to be failing literally nobody will want to even speak to you.
If you think that’s in any way equivalent or a functional alternative, you’ve never seen a forest a few weeks or months after it burned, or considered the various trees that require fire to propagate.

(I speak from a south-east Australian perspective where it’s really clear, but believe it largely works this way in other low-humidity forest environments too.)

ETH generates yield for holders who stake it. It is also deflationary.
Menus with lots of options, properly labelled and organized, and displaying keyboard shortcuts next to them, like pretty much any software written in the 90s. Tooltips when you hover over things. Actual documentation built into the software rather than tucked away in a man page or only found in a forum you discovered by searching for your problem.

I don't think it's power users these designers are trying to cater for. They make things more difficult for power users by hiding useful options in some tab in a modal settings dialog, which is a PITA to find and click if you need to change it often. Often they remove something completely from the UI and you need to go find the config file and manually edit some text and restart the program to get functionality back.

They're trying to cater for novices - they think too many controls on display is going to confuse or overwhelm them. I blame Barry Schwartz[1]

If they were trying to cater for power users they would let power users configure their interfaces to suit them. Modern interfaces are "fixed" in the image of the designer, and screw you, the user.

While this website seems great in theory, finding English-Hindi or English-Bangla names is a lost cause (especially masculine). I'm not sure how it "finds" the results but the names appear to be of either language and not "common" to both.
> "Have you considered using a Trackpoint instead of a mouse?"

A mouse is a proxy for the pointer, you move the mouse and that moves the pointer a scaled amount, precisely, distance-for-distance predictable movement. A trackpoint is a joystick, you lean it in a direction and the pointer goes in that direction and you have to work with the timing and guess when to let go for the pointer to stop in the place you want. It's like controlling a pointer by poking it with a bouncy spring, there could hardly be a worse mismatch.

The opposite version of the mismatch is trying to control a driving game with a mouse, where the car only steers left as long as the mouse is actively moving left, so you have to continually swipe the mouse and pick it up and reswipe over and over to go round a corner.

Joysticks are not a good fit to control a mouse pointer.

Fact check: AI fakes in Israel's war against Hamas
"UC Berkeley researcher Farid explains: "If we enter this world where it is possible to manipulate images, audio and video, everything is in question. So you're seeing real things being claimed as fake."

True enough, but the detection tactics they discuss are a plaster at best. AI detection against AI generation is a lost cause, I think, and how long can we rely on counting fingers and whatnot? Watermarking and strong cryptography are only plausible solutions I can think of.
Other than "this is fantastic, thank you!", I have no actual response to your comment, but it would be remiss not to ask for more insights into coding with ai (maybe in a post in your blog?)
> But I, like most people, am not actually forgoing paid work if I were to do them myself

There’s more to opportunity cost than money. That’s time with family, time to just chill, time for hobbies, all sorts of stuff.

Every time you pay to outsource a task you could do yourself by just putting in the time, you are explicitly saying “Having this time back is worth $X to me”. That is a direct measure of how much your time is worth to you.
Nope. Is 10 actually 1 in base 10?

Or, don't tax people's income; just tax corporations on profit/revenue.

The wealthiest 0.1% have negligible income; the middle class bears the brunt of taxation. All companies run on corporate welfare. They refuse to do anything without significant funding from Govt. Big 3 Auto got many bailouts, $250B in profits but don't have any money to build charging stations/network or invest in making an EV that people would like to buy. Big Telcos took 100s of billions for broadband access, which they never delivered. Oil companies get trillions in subsidies every year[2].

Middle class pays all the taxes, both direct and indirect. Indirect taxes are inflation, people's hard-earned-and-saved money loses 98% of value in a few decades, thanks to Govt printing massive amounts of money and giving it to Corporations (privatizing profits and socialize losses). And we also pay for substantially degraded quality of life from externalities, pollution (air pollution kills 10M/year [3]), PFAS, climate change, lead, etc.

And no, the top 1% is not wealthy, its the top 0.1% that matters. Media talks about the top 1%, these are usually people who worked their ass off sacrificing everything for 2+ decades to get to a decent income but, but thats temporary. Most of them are going to fall out of that income bracket, with layoffs, with burnout, the sacrifices made catch up to you, you either get physical or mental health issues.

[1] Profits at the “Big 3” auto companies—Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis— skyrocketed 92% from 2013 to 2022, totaling $250 billion. Forecasts for 2023 expect more than $32 billion in additional profits: https://www.epi.org/blog/uaw-automakers-negotiations/

It's possible some of these things are really distro+hw related, but for the sake of argument:

> * Chrome needs a bunch of extra flags to launch in Wayland mode

I'd rather have to worry about adding a few extra flags than worry about X11. X11 is overcomplicated, over-engineered, barely maintained, is apparently broken from a security angle, ancient...

Till today I have found X11 configuration one of the toughest things in Linux. I'd rather google for some wayland specific flags than worry about X11.

> * Firefox needs extra flags to launch in Wayland mode

See argument above for Chrome.

> * Xwayland is just broken on Nvidia with both sides refusing to compromise (implicit vs explicit synchronization - Nvidia refuses to add implicit and Xwayland refuses to take Nvidia’s patch to do explicit). What this means is that you get tearing, flickering and all sorts of terrible graphical artifacts

Xwayland is a transitional thing anyways too. When X is dead we won't need to worry about Xwayland either.

> * Chrome only just fixed HW acceleration for Nvidia (latest m120 beta)

One more reason got added to use Wayland from now onwards.

> * enabling vulkan causes Chrome to fail to render (although this may just me needing to try reinstalling Nvidia drivers)

Vulkan unlike OpenGL is also quite new. Give it a couple of years for every combination to get ironed out. X11 is hardly the answer here. If you're going to gripe about Wayland, X11 is never the answer.

Any worry about longterm effects of nicotine? I’ve tried to find good studies online but most center around smoking, not the gum or pure nicotine.
It may seem like boring data at first, but that kind of data is gold mine for hackers seeking to learn about Boeing internals and partners to enhance their social engineering attacks (people's name, methods of authentication, software used, password policy etc)
Ah, the game of telephone.

>For more than 150 trials, Carlisle got access to anonymized individual participant data (IPD). By studying the IPD spreadsheets, he judged that 44% of these trials contained at least some flawed data: impossible statistics, incorrect calculations or duplicated numbers or figures, for instance. And in 26% of the papers had problems that were so widespread that the trial was impossible to trust, he judged — either because the authors were incompetent, or because they had faked the data.

Firstly, this is only from one journal, Anesthesiology. Second, the phrase "at least" indicates that while 44% had some amount of (presumably) flawed data, only 26% of the studies were bad enough to be judged fake or severely flawed by this one (admittedly esteemed) researcher in the field of anesthesiology. It's important to be skeptical and do your homework when you hear sweeping and/or shocking results. It's also important to read carefully, especially with science journalism because it is written for clicks and broad audiences, not to reduce ambiguity and adhere to strict standards of accuracy.

Anyone who received a loan under lenient conditions and paid it off benefitted indirectly by being allowed to receive the loan in the first place. Private lenders are selective and would only lend to the best students. So all these people on the margin with say a 85% chance of completing university would have to be denied, because there is no way they could pay the interest to make this lending profitable for the bank. The idea that the loans would be a profit center for the US was a pipe dream to begin with.
They probably have a much smaller attack surface at least.
How does that inhibit accessibility?
What others need to understand is that, unlike the older generation, kids today have grown up in the era of easily accessible computing. Someone who is 17 today was born in the year the original iPhone was introduced. Computing literacy is not only required, it is expected from a very young age. What might have been impressive to us 20-30 years ago is not really the same as it is now.

Cool project, but as other commenters have pointed out, the self-promotion of off-putting. Don't hold on to using your age as a qualifier to make you stand out in job applications or otherwise.
I don't think it's a shame that there are multiple types of value which often disagree. In fact I'm quite happy that attempts to reduce experience into an optimization problem where each thing has a consistent untyped value are doomed to fail. If it were possible, it would've happened long ago and there would be no reason to bother with that awkward consciousness thing that we tend to do sometimes.

I'm sorry you were conflicted about throwing something precious away, but those are the conflicts that life is made of.

Maybe not so many. Assuming 1200 tons of fuel for Starship on LEO ( from here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starship_(spacecraft) ) and 100-150 tons of payload, it's 8-12 Starship launches to fuel up the orbital stage which can fly to the Moon.
Just speculating, but perhaps share prices would drop until the returns per dollar invested recovers to the desired level. So it might be like a one off shock to investors who hold shares now, since the new equilibrium has shares priced lower to get the same returns as before the tax.
A good popular take, but they, either intentionally or out of ignorance, omit newer, proven techniques like differential privacy.
Watermarking is useless in a world where (F)OSS or unregulated LLMs are as good as regulated ones.

Cryptography could prove that media was captured by a certain person at a certain time, but the general public doesn't have the time to decide whom to trust. Many Americans still share Russian state media as though it's reliable news.
