Right but 40% of something very small is also very small. If you are experiencing the two blacks in a normal ambient environment around lighting and other non highly light absorbent surfaces, they will look extremely similar.
Once upon a time, I was aimless and ended up on omegle after someone suggested it to me. For 8+ months I kinda lived on it, and watching countries come and go depending on timezones was quite funny, you could recognize speech/writing patterns in different cultures. You'd know in a minute if someone was chinese or colombian. A fun anthropological experiment.
This could still work, just not have data.

Something can be functional but useless

Edit, or rather.. functional but unused
I'm seeing a lot of responses about the morality or PR implications of trying to A/B test this, but this seems fundamentally impossible to A/B test to me and points at a bigger problem with what companies and their marketing departments believe they can know and the limits of what science can actually do.

The hypothesis here is that usage of professional but automated editing tools to make people look more beautiful than they really are promotes unrealistic competition standards and makes people feel worse about how they look in a regular mirror that is showing them the truth.

How do you A/B test this? Giving the feature to some people and not others isn't good enough. The impact is because of seeing other people look more beautiful on the Internet than they actually look in person. How are you going to prevent a user from seeing the photos of other users who use filters? Even if the global social graph had strict partitions, which I imagine isn't the case, these photos leak into web search, news articles, and the same technology gets adopted by other platforms. You can't A/B test something that impacts the entire broad culture. The world is too connected.
Cute! And the time overhead vs. the usual stack-based parameter passing convention is roughly zero, since even though the callee has to "push si" at the end, the caller needs zero instructions to pass the argument, instead of the usual one.
Everything sounds silly if you read it to yourself in a silly voice. The whole thing did not come across self righteous at all to me. Maybe it is because I follow the developments in net politics enough to know that the cynical undertones here are totally warranted.

Like in Germany, where the supreme court told the government twice that storing all communication data of their citicens without any cause or court order is totally illegal. Guess what: they try it again right now.

The UK government demonstrated in similar fashion that they are not just incompetent, but act with incompetent mallice. Acting above them is hard to avoid, because they make it very hard not to.

One could wonder why it is always the people fighting the good causes that have to act perfectly and self-aware, while the bad actors are given all the slack in the world constantly, while they lie, deceive and twist everything that comes in front of them. "Oh you naive fool, you actually want to be GOOD? Let me find a hair in your soup to validate my own fatalistic position!"
I don't think the avoidance of primary sources is due to bureaucracy. It's long been a policy in the guidelines. I can sort of see the reason if you look at something like say vaccine safety, primary sources would be papers and the like, secondary articles in the nyt and the like. The trouble with papers is there are loads and hard to understand for non specialist and you can find one saying they caused problems in this instance or not in that according to your biases. Whereas nyt articles etc are written for the public and try to be kinda balanced.

Not quite sure what the birthday problem was about.
- i do not believe that there is any country in the world today that has a functioning democracy.

Because we are not living in ideal word. Truly functioning democracy require freedom of knowledge to have free and conscious decision in voting. Our decisions are shaped mostly by media. Which is, again, centralized. Also, if you want to be elected by people, you need to be a populist. So democratic system tend to shape peoples mind either on left or right and gather them about specific ideas. For me, it makes unnatural dividing of people to categories and instead of solving problems together, we fight each other.

- basically i believe that decisions or rules should be made at the lowest level needed for that rule to be useful.

Absolutely agree.

- that means, things like traffic rules should be made at a national or better even global level because it is not helpful to have different rules for that in every city. same goes for issues like polution. those are global problems.

I don't agree with global level. Nations has different wealth, different technologies, etc. You cannot apply same rules for US or India. Same for pollution. For example US made huge capital on pollution in 20th century. Would you ban developing country to obtain their capital from pollution today and made similar wealth as US previously?

- there should be zero taxes or zero mandated contributions of any form.

There should be absolute minimal taxes and no mandates. Consequences forces communities naturally to finance what is important.

- how would a political or electoral system look like that enables those things?

I'm not sure how it should look like, but I would like to free ourselves from the idea of needed rulers above our lives. We willing to put our responsibilities to authority, which dispatch our decisions from consequences.

TENTATIVE AGREEMENT (9/25/2023)

Regulate use of artificial intelligence on MBA- covered projects: AI-generated written material is not considered literary material, source material or assigned material under the MBA.

AI is not a writer under the MBA.

Writer can elect to use AI when performing writing services, if Company consents and provided writer follows applicable company policies. Company cannot require writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing
writing services.

Company must disclose to writer if any material given to writer has been generated by AI or incorporates AI-generated material.

Guild reserves right to assert that exploitation of writers’ material to train AI is prohibited by MBA or other law.

----------------------------

Notably, the demand "MBA-covered material can’t be used to train AI" appears not to be part of the tentative agreement.
The UK Home Office has not raised an eyebrow about people shouting "jihad" on the streets of London. The UK government also gave a housing allowance to a leader of Hamas. [1]

The Home Office doesn't seem to care either about child exploitation in Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford, if it is committed by a protected group. [2]

One could suggest that before implementing dragnet surveillance on the public, that the UK government could first investigate what is happening in public view, but is not talked about because it is politically inconvenient.

That is terrible, and the fines are so low it's not even serious.
The best parodies are ones where those on both sides of an issue think to themselves, “yes, this exemplifies my argument”.
But openness about mental health issues and lower stigma around it is definitely a more modern thing, actually. I don't doubt that some subsets of the population got more depressed while others feel better, but it's very possible that rates would have been the same 30 years ago, had people felt okay with talking about suicidal thoughts, depression or a variety of other things that are at least a bit less stigmatised now. I'm not that old (or at least I like to think I'm not) but I can say with confidence nobody in my circle of friends 25 years ago would even think of saying they're depressed or suicidal. That would get you labelled a weirdo.

HN: I built a tool to create interactive demo in seconds for SaaS
This is honestly so incredibly backwards:

The big companies cannot lose anything that matters to them, as they're too big and powerful, brushing off even the worst publicity. A small company collapses under pressure, and can be killed by even a viral meme going against them, with the owners suffering personal financial losses as a result.

Suing a big company like Samsung is an almost guaranteed loss with you thoroughly crushed and case precedent set so others have no reason to try. Suing a small company is a much more likely win, with reasonable damages.
Wow that's a lot to unpack. But more productive endeavors beckon.

Your link doesn't say anything about what you proposed regarding storing energy using hydrogen and how much it's supposed to cost. LCOE assumes that nuclear plants will last for 40 years which is wildly off so yes, it favors renewables. And no, running plants for 100 years would not induce catastrophic risks if you engineer for it.

Been playing with this through the ChatGPT interface for the past few weeks. Couple of tips. Update the css to get rid of the gradients and rounded corners. I found red with bold white text to be most consistent. Increase the font size. If two labels overlap, push them apart and add an arrow to the element. Send both images to the API, a version with the annotations added and a version without.
The part of the eIDAS that's problematic is the enforced browser certificate configuration which is just one aspect of the whole thing (and probably will be removed from the final version).

Conspiracy theories aside, having my electronic id recognized anywhere in the EU will save a lot of "scan and upload a PDF of your ID" moments. Not to mention the convenience of managing access to my data from the comfort of my sofa.

Unemployed Man Uses AI to Apply for 5k Jobs, Gets 20 Interviews
I have the pleasure of maintaining a reasonably popular -sys crate, and getting it working on Windows is an absolute nightmare, especially considering the competing toolchains & ABIs (msvc and gnu) and millions of ways the C dependency can be installed (it’s a big one, and users may choose a specific version, so we don’t bundle it), with no pkg-config telling you where to look.

No idea how build.rs being able to run any Rust code is an advantage, it’s not like setup.py can’t run any Python code and shell out. In fact, bespoke code capable of spitting out inscrutable errors during `setup.py install` is the old way that newer tooling tries to avoid. Rust evangelism is puzzling.

Scanning and uploading PDF feels just crazy... The scans pictures and whatever can be stored, and with modern photo edits even reused.

Single one-time authentication flow makes so much more sense from security viewpoint.
What anonymity?
eID is used by government services (which already know who you are because they issue your ID in the first place) and 3rd parties which rely on this identity. They only get access to data they need, you always have overview and control of it, right to be forgotten etc.
But not everyone gives their whistleblowers a chemical lobotomy, locked away in a notoriously oppressive torture palace without recourse or any justice, when they reveal information that is vital to the future of humanity...
I agree with that. Several countries already have their own electronic ID - Estonia, Netherlands (they have a digital wallet app available on F-Droid), Italy.

This is just standardization, which is a benefit.

The eIDAS problem is not even about having a root certificate in place but severely lowering the bar for the security aspects of the root certificates and mandating browsers to accept it even if those certificates use weak cryptographic algorithms.

It wouldn't actually, unless its infra-red emissivity was much lower than its visible light behavior. (which is why bright metallic surface become so hot in the sun: they absorb little visible light radiation but emit even less infra-red)

I felt exactly the same way about Brexit; it was clear that if we voted Remain that Nigel Farage would still be there - alongside Maxwell's Demon - to shove us towards the door at the next opportune moment.

Seems like this is one of the hardest problems in modern politics - populists only have to win once, due to us having a complex system of preferential arrangements and one-way door decisions.

This is only an acceptable state of affairs under the conditions of nationalism.

Human beings operating outside the boundaries of nationalist mental illness, do not care for this sort of behaviour one bit.

It takes a special mentality to justify this violation of human rights at a fundamental scale.

"Everyone spies" == "Everyone murders innocent people they don't like".

This is a violation of human rights, period. No nation state which engages in this activity should be taken seriously when it comes to the human rights record of their government.

Even dream jobs involve a certain amount of crap work. Applicants only interested in the glory need not apply.
I'm extremely relaxed about this sort of legislation in the UK at the moment. The reason is that you need to view our government on 2 axes. The first is authoritarianism, and the second is competence. Whilst the government has been drifting more authoritarian for the last 13 years, it has also collapsed in competence. We've seen bill after bill dragged out for years and never acheived. The last lot wanted to completely re-write our human rights legislation. Needless to say that didn't go well. At this point in the political cycle there is no way serious legislation is going to get through parliament.

What I really worry about is that it looks highly likely post election that the government will be replaced by a much more competent, but still highly authoritarian government. It's easy to forget that last labour party tried to introduce ID cards, and tried to introduce rules to let them lock people up for 90 days without charge. The Labour party has none of the libertarian instincts that part of the tory party has.
