Yes, but the corporate entity is not a thing in and of itself. It is just a language device used in communication to identify the actual thing: People.
Last summer I wanted to get an e-bike, work was only a few miles and I enjoy the morning air. Looking around the apartment complex there wasn't anywhere to store it! Sure I could get a very expensive lock, but people get spiteful when they can't steal bikes, so they destroy them.

If I had the money in cash I was thinking of doing a DIY carbon fiber build that I could easily put over my shoulder and carry up the stairs and hang on the wall. The actual electronic components are pretty simple, we just need innovation and scale to make it affordable.
The way google will nag you when your storage is nearly full is ultra annoying, borderline dark pattern. It will warn you that you might be running out of storage when attaching small PDFs to an email and the like, when you still have hundreds of megabytes available.

I started using Immich just this week and am very impressed by the amount of features built-in and everything just works. It really is a full-on replacement for google photos which is amazing. Even advanced features like face-detection using AI and partner sharing are there.

Shout-out also to immich-go [1] which is a cli tool that allowed me to migrate hundred of gigabytes of photos from a google takeout backup flawlessly.

I just did it last month. While it was great I regret we did not go further because it is really not enough daytime to peek out of the cabin.
That's a good idea, the deduplication criterion is easy to change, using an llm is faster to get started, but after a while a corpus of decisions is created and can be used to either select another mechanism, or e.g. train one on top of bert embeddings.
This is the answer. Apollo missions were essentially 6 stages (3 to orbit then TLI, lunar descent stage, lunar ascent stage, CSM). Maybe 7 if you count dropping the service module for reentry.

The whole concept of starship only works if they can launch reliably a couple times a day
I published https://www.prefab.cloud/blog/dynamic-config-for-openai-pyth... a few weeks ago as a way to do config of AI params like temperature, etc. But I've had a few people start using it for prompts as well and I really curious to see where it goes.

In particular for
1. teams that have complex slow deploys, but want to change prompt now
2. when there are data analyst types doing the prompts and people don't want them to be able to "break things".
3. being able to alpha test / rollout / target new prompts easily.

Definitely an interesting question whether prompts is code or configuration.
You're being a little flip but adapting to one thing usually comes with compromising something else. Hanks is just an example of trusting a leader or authority. Whether you think he's a good fit for that is immaterial, everyone will be compromised.

Asking for critical thinking is all well and good but just the _knowledge_ that it's easy to generate gobs of high-fidelity forgeries, all corroborating each other as falsified evidence, could have chilling consequences by eroding faith in institutions and promoting misinformation and conspiracy theorizing.

You can adapt and still end up worse off than you were before there was anything to adapt to.
Fair point, but have you considered the joy of tarnishing nice things with JavaScript? Corrupting the venerable Emacs would be a great achievement.
There are lots of electric trains without battery and some with battery. All of Europe is running lots of electric trains without battery.

Here in Germany on some tracks some trains also run on battery. As a test case we had such a train for some month to replace a diesel train. They just had to return the test train.
Immich is just awesome...
Works on iOS, Android in with some tweaks for external non smartphone photo libraries. All the features I needed, even multiple user accounts with sharing everything with your husband/wife or creating shared albums for sharing with other people. And its FOSS!

I like the "Archive" feature to hide photos very much. The only thing that I am missing is a specific implementation of tags. If you would like to read about it, see my comment[1] on the discussion about tags feature.

The C and C++ specifications are rather infamous about being incomplete, i.e., containing features that might lead to undefined behavior. On the other hand, Java is quite comprehensive. It is one of the earliest instances of languages specifying a memory model.

That's even more reason to sync to the microsecond level. Computer systems rarely need an an accurate representation of local time. Instead they benefit from being closely aligned with each other. So unavoidable drift at the microsecond level is a reason to sync to the microsecond level.

> Undertale is aesthetically more of a JRPG than Dark Souls.

... and that's exactly why most people consider Undertale a JRPG and basically nobody considers Dark Souls a JRPG?

JRPG has not meant "RPG made in Japan" for a long time; it now means "RPG similar to the ones popularized by Japanese developers in the late 80s to mid 90s." Or "Japanese-style Role Playing Games" for short.
GWP-ASan: Sampling-Based Detection of Memory-Safety Bugs in Production
In best case for Google they can operate the RCS-server for Android devices. Google already owns the Messaging CLIENT for SMS/MMS/RCS on nearly all Android devices as well as the underlying OS itself.

There is little new information to gain for them, no matter how Android users communicate with Apple users right now.

There is however a lot to gain for them if a unified rich communication standard is established in the market, because apart from finally being able to replace SMS, it would drive platform-agnostic innovation in this area.

Google and Apple agreeing on a standard could disrupt the ecosystems of Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Vibr, Zoom, MS Teams etc.
Ente.io was the closest I found but sharing was a hurdle
Even with the familial bias, if you say she busts her ass then I believe you. I do try to pay for results rather than effort, even though I appreciate effort. Is it twice as valuable for her to cover up a spot in a 1M home than it is a 500k home, and three times as valuable in a 1.5M home?
You could use Java or Python and have the same guarantee.

I am not convinced Node will be here in 100 years.
I lived in New York City for 5 years. I loved it. I didn't own a car. I took the subway, cabs, trains, and planes everywhere. But, I didn't go camping or own a boat. I live in South Carolina now where I tow my catamaran to different regattas or just to the beach for fun. I go camping with an amount of gear that would be completely unreasonable to take on a train. Public transportation does not allow for the same activities as a car or truck. That's just obviously true. I'd be happy to give up my car. I would not give up sailing or the type of camping I do. People that hunt, should they give up hunting because they can't transport their game? How are contractors going to get equipment to the worksite? Cars/trucks/vehicles are not just for moving people.

MidJourney API – stripe, PayPal, btc/lightning
Here's a home-made, revamped version of https://mjapi.io, with Stripe, PayPal and BTC/Lightning payments!
You can now use it without a discord account if you wish, and can follow-up on previous tasks to create variations/upscale/zoom etc.

New accounts get a 1-Day free quota. Heck, you don't even need a password! I went very far in simplifying the UX as much as possible.

I'd truly appreciate any feedback on this beta version, I can give you some additional quota (just email at hi@mjapi.io with user id or user email)

In May I talked here about mjapi.io: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36074473
I didn't plan for this to be this more than a side project, but I was delighted to look in pizza.db (yeah, everything's in a single sqlite file :D), right after someone emailed me 4 months after the initial 'release', and see there were ~20 real users there from my first launch. That motivated me to continue working on this, especially since the official MidJourney doesn't seem to have any plans to provide it. I'm also using this myself for a youtube edu/relaxing video gen project.

I partnered with a friend that helped me completely rewrite the old trashy front-end in angular, and I can say it totally blew my mind, what a difference!

All this runs on a few e2-micro GCP VMs under screen -- it does the job pretty well, using fluent-bit, loki and grafana for logs, I postponed a docker setup so much that it seems it's not needed anymore, but we'll see.

In the old version, you had to create a discord account and get a MJ sub, but now there are 2 account types: (a) self-serve - same as before; (b) fairy - use a shared pool of workers

The current setup can withstand around 100 self-serve users and ~5000 fairy users, scaling just means spinning up more worker instances under screen (and later upgrading the VMs too)

Anyone would like me to expand on any of the above or have any suggestions? I'm all ears!
> Yes, but the corporate entity is just another way to say group of people

No, its not.

Its more like a grouping of a subset of the actions of a group of people in some contexts, and a shared subset of the interests of a different (narrower, but overlapping) group of people in others.

But its not generally simply a way of referencing a group of people.

You sell when you think the company is overvalued, you buy when you think it is undervalued. Some might treat it as a casino but those are not the big players, as treating it as a casino will most likely lose money and not be profitable.

Announcing things and actually executing on said announcements are two very different things.

Sundar has never been able to tell the difference between the two.

Mother 3 is totally worth playing too, for those who never got around to it. I played the English fan-translation a few years ago and it really floored me how well it developed the themes of Earthbound. It feels equal parts dire and slapstick, illustrated by cartoonish characters that live in truly trying times.

While I'm still a sucker for FFVI and FFVII, Mother 3 kinda achieves the impossible in many ways. It re-develops the themes from it's predecessor into a more accessible, more nuanced and funnier story. Characters get hurt, die, yell curse-words and contend with progressively more horrifying environments. Tonally it almost feels like Stand By Me, elevated to cartoonishly-evil stakes from the start. Best of all, the morals are immediately accessible to the player instead of being hidden as lore like most RPGs are want to do. For younger audiences, there should be no confusion about who is right and wrong and why they are that way. While Final Fantasy is written better overall, I feel like younger players would take so much more away from Mother 3. It really captures the "coming of age" storytelling that has been developed since Mother 1.

After getting to the end of that game, you kinda understand why Itoi doesn't want another game like that. The bar is simply too high, even by the standards of modern consoles.
The cycles aren't quite that tightly coupled, I think.

The current battery tech is responding to demand (and demand predictions) from a couple years ago.
There's no free lunch of course, so you would have circumstances where a network partition at a bad time would result in a clone instead of a copy. I don't know what, if anything, Amoeba did about this.

In practice it might not be an issue. The reason you'd typically do something like move processes across a WAN is because you want it to operate next to data it is making heavy use of. The copy that booted up local to the data would continue operating, while the copy at the point of origin would suddenly see the data source go offline.

Now of course more complex schemes can be devised, like if the data source is replicated and so both copies continue operating. Maybe a metric could be devised for detecting these instances when the partition is healed, and one or both processes are suspended for manual resolution? Or maybe programs just have to be written with the expectation that their capabilities might suddenly become invalid at any time, because the capability sides with the partition that includes the resource? Or maybe go down the route of making the entire system transactional, so that partition healing can occur, and only throw away transaction deltas once receipts are received for all nodes ratcheting state forward?

It'd be an interesting research area for sure.

I find them flattering rather than the opposite, but it is worth noting that the earliest known textile garment, the string skirt, is also pretty low on the practicality, function, and utility axes: https://www.smith.edu/hsc/museum/ancient_inventions/stringsk...
I would really hope Google's monopoly is undermined a bit. The internet is too dependent on them and their business model is pretty consumer-hostile.

But big ships turn slowly, but once they build up steam they're unstoppable. I think they will manage.

I bet they would have chipped in to OpenAI if Microsoft hadn't beat them to it. As for OpenAI and Microsoft, not sure what I think of it, Microsoft has not exactly been an angel in the internet history books either.
It's the most fantasy rocket, except for all the others.

Not a fan of this whole plan, but the Starship program is much further along than any other. BO has never orbited anything, and the Senate Launch System is planning around a year between launches, at best, at $1b per. Meanwhile F9 is up to ~273 orbital launches at far better than 98% success. Starship already proved the flip and land. OFT1 surpassed its first test goals (clear the pad). I don't think it's unreasonable to extrapolate for now.
Does the connection close if you blink even once? Or if the algorithm can't find your face once? I was barely able to see anyone b/c of stuff that seems like this.

My wrist would ached so much when working at a computer until I started using it. Then got a PERIBOARD-409 keyboard (https://www.amazon.com/Perixx-PERIBOARD-409U-Mini-Keyboard-1...) that would allow me to keep the mouse closer to the keyboard.
There was little more than a pinky promise. They took the money because there was no downside to them if they didn't do what the money was supposed to be for.

Go find the bills and find me some consequences for the companies that failed to do what they were asked.

There aren't any.

I don't understand why people constantly vilify companies acting like companies instead of the corrupt government that's lying to our faces.
I'm not really a game person. The point is that getting things the right way should be a better experience then going to piratebay.

Nonsense like captchas only hurt legitimate users, and when those captchas are asking you time and time again it's simply not worthwhile. Had I wanted to actually spend good money on a game they would have lost a sale, and for what -- to stop a robot asking for a password reset email to an existing account?
Most bikes come with the cheapest possible tires and inner tubes. If you're going to ride a lot then it's worth buying something more robust, even if they're a bit heavier. Continental Gatorskin tires are pretty good, and you can also get puncture resistant tubes with thicker walls and internal liquid sealant.

It also helps to carry a CO2 inflator with a few cartridges. Much faster than a hand pump.
This is cool to see. I've been working on a very similar project lately. Will keep an eye on this and steal, er adopt, some of these great ideas.
Sunday seems like a poor choice. Sunday was always a prime homework day for me when I was in school. Typically not a lot else going on, so there was time for quiet, focused work.

Why not close on Tuesday or Wednesday? Unless it's also about staffing difficulty on weekends.

In his defense, the best way to solve a captcha is by pretending you are partially blind. If you actually select all the relevant squares, Google just says “nope lol go again!”.
I know you didn't say it outright, but since it is implied: Python does not use semver, although it does share similar formatting. Semver considers bumps to the second integer a "minor" release with no breaking changes, whereas in Python that indicates a major release that is not backwards compatible.

Yeah I'm getting so sick of it. And Microsoft CoPilot is burdened by the same political correctness.

Clearly they're super afraid of what happened to Microsoft earlier last year: Their chatbot that turned into a Nazi. But they are making their product almost unusable.

Luckily jailbreakchat.com still works fine. But doing that all the time is a hassle. I've been trying to run LLaMa 2 uncensored which is great but super slow because I lack the right hardware.
“Just a Theory”?

It’s actually central economic thought. If you disagree, it’s on you to prove otherwise.

Governments can print currency, create taxes - actually inter generational (government bonds). Households cannot.

Economist Mark Blyth explains it quite clear:

This is how trucks are referred to. A 74 ton truck is not expected to weigh 74 tons.
I know, now. I used search on this site for "Amazon" but results were obviously not complete enough to be helpful. Any advice on how not to duplicate, short of paging through the submissions to the nth degree?

I checked the guidelines and FAQs. I emailed the contact info but haven't heard their answer yet, either. Sigh.

This was my first submission, and I don't want to repeat this mistake!
I can’t read that article, but, EV adoption is growing like crazy. They went from 6% of new car sales in Q3 2022 to 8% in Q32023. I suspect demand is softer than expected but I am struggling to see how it is “decreasing”.
No, road wear is proportional to the weight on each axle to the 4th power. More axles (like this tandem-trailer truck) can distribute the weight.

Of course that means more wheels needed, so more tires and other components. Tire wear also scales with axle weight (among other factors).

Total environmental impact depends on more than just the weight. The added weight isn't good, but may be offset by the other design changes.
Nope. Twice the number of tires means half the weight per tire. Half the weight means 1/16 of the wear per tire. Twice the number is 2X, so overall 1/8 the impact.
Right. Like you say, a group of people. Now, why do you think those people are void of feelings?
How does the employer avoid having to do skill assessment? Do they trust the union?
Space isn't "cold", it's a thermal insulator. Objects in space are still illuminated by sunlight whenever they're not in shadow, which heats them up, and the vacuum makes it difficult for them to get rid of that heat.

That's why (for instance) the JWST has a sunshade that is considerably larger than the telescope itself, just to keep it cooled to 50K -- which is still well above the boiling point of liquid hydrogen. It's also why the ISS has large radiators so that it doesn't get too hot for human habitation.

Very cool to see this finally go out, and especially the new Foundation. I have to wonder though if it's too late though. I gave up waiting for a new Rocket release years ago and have been doing what Rust web work I've been doing on Axum instead - the integration with Tower is very nice.
Probably not a coincidence. I read that article today too; the submitter could very well have done that and went to the linked website afterwards.

as someone who works on static analysis of (regular, non-obfuscated) python bytecode, that was super interesting. if this sort of thing were more common, i could see people developing interactive tools that let you iteratively poke at the pyc files to help the decompiler along, and in the process hopefully identify patterns you could then automate.
I feel like if I was a cloud storage provider, I would want to send the message that if you bought something from me, it wouldn't just get deleted after a few years. I assume it costs them less to store an individual's purchased magazine subscriptions than the cost of the free storage they allocate for everyone who uses Google Drive, but I may be wrong. I suppose they just don't want to keep supporting the distribution of these assets in new products they develop.
The main argument is privacy, both with Google as a whole as well as facial recognition and private moments being logged in Google photos.

One could argue that they are telling the truth about whether or not they ever look at your data and keep it encrypted and this and that and the other, but the simple fact is that unless it is open source or audited multiple times by independent third parties, there is no way to confirm that all of your data actually is private.

However, most people are beginning to realize that because of the overreach that all of these different tech mega corporations have, it is almost impossible to stay private, even if you do sacrifice your products for more private, generally less feature rich ones. A good example is proton mail: it is a great email service, it is truly private, but you also don't get a lot of the really nice features that Google has, like an actually good suite of integration with meetings, calendar appointments, shipping tracking, reminders, file sharing, the works.

There is a trade-off, and a lot of the tech focused people believe that the lack of features warrants the more privacy, so it is really a difference of ideology more than anything.
