Agreed. In particular, IEEE should be talking about advancing the domain. This article directly relates to problems that text-to-image has in medicine.

Firstly, training on a corpus of medical terms (as opposed to 6th grade English) will produce just as many nonsense embeddings.

Secondly, the post-processing filters to prevent medical malpractice will be much bigger than intentional nudity. It’s malpractice to horizontally flip a medical image (think right foot is now left foot).

Talking about process of developing a nudity filter is the industry’s way of demonstrating feasibility for more-serious applications.
Again, it's neither tautological nor circular. It would be tautological to say "stolen goods are stolen goods". It would be circular to say "stolen goods are stolen. Something is stolen if it's a stolen good". What I said was

>"Stolen goods" are stolen because someone stole them

There's nothing tautological about that. I'm laying out the relationships between the words "stolen" and "steal", and between "stolen" and "stolen good". The sentence isn't void of information, particularly in a discussion where you were arguing that something could become stolen retroactively regardless of the manner in which it was acquired. You can't have in your possession a good that nobody stole, that is also a stolen good because of actions you took after it came into your possession. That's nonsense. If you have such a confusion of ideas, I have no option but to state the obvious: something is stolen if someone stole it.

I think you are trying to impose a React workflow on Web Components. Some things that work in React indeed don't work in Web Components / Lit, but that is usually for good reasons. There are a lot of quirks with React too, for example I find it very cumbersome the way you reference elements in React. That's a lot nicer with Lit. But in Lit, input fields can't communicate to a form in a different Shadow DOM. In React you have your ways of dealing with it, in Lit also. Overall I think Lit is generally a lot cleaner than React, feels more native, less opinionated. That's logical of course because Lit is made to work with modern Web Component APIs, and React already existed before these technologies, so they had to implement those features into React itself.
But not as thermally insulating. Every time I walk past the open airs freezers placed right next to the open air hot food warmer at the supermarket I know 100% that we will kill this planet.

Agreed. "I can't see your point" as rhetoric technique is lame.

i dunno what the "psych community" might be saying; so I'll claim local invention of "psychopathic reasoning" even if others are using it. I'll even define it further, to differentiate from "rhetorical feigned ignorance"... People suffering from such often find it offensive when other ideas are presented to them, they're rendered insecure by the notion their existing knowledge base isn't perfect and lash out in pre-emptive defense.

Pointless example: I recently mentioned to someone that you can flush a toilet by pouring water into the bowl. They've never heard of this, don't want to consider it, and so they begin insisting that everything else I've said in the conversation must be false, too.

Put these things down under "Idjit found on Internet" and go on about your day. Stressing over it isn't productive imo.
Don't feel too bad -- I strongly believe that 99.99% of the copies of TAOCP are never read beyond the first chapter.

You hit the nail on the head. Hacker News ironically tends to be pretty hostile towards open-source.

It's actually much better than it used to be. Since it's roots are in startup culture, there has always been an under-current favoring capitalistic stances. Those currents have weakened over time though. At one point things like dark patterns for user engagement were given a more neutral response than you would see nowadays.
For Sun at least it superseded OpenLook, which was mostly grey and a saturated blue background.

I actually liked it better than CDE.
The quote still applies to NMS, or CP2007, because they failed to live up to the hype on release and that really left a stain on their legacy. It's fair to rejoinder that, well the games are pretty great now; but I think Gabe's meaning is really about how, from a business perspective, your product does not live up to its potential and this can have longtail business consequences.

In a way, studios have hyper-focused on pre-ordering in order to get around this. Games are now investments that eventually get fixed and "live up to" their cost, instead of a polished finished product. Studios and publishers now focus on pre-ordering over finishing.

In principle this is no different from the situation with long and double in Java, for which atomicity is not guaranteed, and word tearing can occur. It is still considered defined behavior, in the sense that you will see some combination of actually written values, and not get nasal demons.
Pivot: AI devs move to switch LLMs, reduce OpenAI dependency
I read the first three volumes and at least attempted all of the exercises. I got the easy ones, made some progress on the harder ones, and at least understood the "impossible" ones. These books are written on the assumption that you're going to work all of the exercises - I don't think that if you just read them you'll get a lot out of them.

I really enjoyed working through them - I keep meaning to get around to volume 4, but can't seem to find the time to do so.
You are suggesting I read more subjective comments to disprove my own subjective comment?

Which comment specifically should I read to have a better informed view of the particular study I recalled here?

That's not what the article says.

The article says that an AI cannot hold copyright. This is not the same as AI content cannot be copyrighted. As I said before, a paintbrush cannot hold copyright; that does not mean a painter who used a paintbrush can't hold the copyright to the work.

This is basically the same thing as when that guy left a camera out and PETA tried to get the monkey that took the photo to be assigned copyright [1]. PETA failed; animals cannot hold copyright and the guy that left his camera out can.

The main reason is that people don't feel like being responsible for their own solutions, just expect it from a savior - failing EU then a local one. They keep blaming whoever else while forgetting THEY are part of the EU and THEY vote for every single point on the EU action list and legislation, yes including environmentalism. And continuing to not feel responsible, they vote for the guy who takes them out of that EU responsibilities, while promising he will deliver locally on exactly the same points he failed previously to deliver on the EU level. And the voters believed him, of course, ignoring there are green and left-wing parties on local level just as well. Well, this eternal naivety some iron hand will save us, same since the dawn of history...
That doesn't address the constraints that are typical in embedded systems such as limited memory (RAM) and the expectation that a program will run forever.

There are resources oriented toward embedded C++ that address these (at least memory allocation.)

On a project a couple years ago I was pushing to use C++ instead of C, if only as a "C compiled using the C++ compiler" for better type checking. I could not convince the project lead, who's technical depth far exceeded mine, that the C++ compiler was as likely as the C compiler to produce correct translations.

Honestly, I think people who have explicitly replaced children with pets are kind of pathetic. I'm not condemning anyone or demanding that others make the choices I have, but I find something very sad about those "I love my grand-dog" bumper stickers. Perhaps those people are perfectly happy, but I can't help but see a huge gap between what a grandchild can provide vs. your child having a dog that you love.
Yes! There are some industries that will not tolerate seat-of-the-pants development. Functional safety requirements make a nice tall fence to keep out risky developers. Which is why china automakers have no such regulations.

There's actually pretty good evidence that being overly clean and sterile is bad for an immune system. Yes, getting exposed to highly dangerous diseases like Ebola, polio, measles, small pox, etc. is bad, covid with a vaccine doesn't really rise to that level.
That struck me, too. They really took a chance on so much staff, without any real proof that they'd be able to deliver. My impression was that this was a lot more common then than now. These days, you have to be capable of work a level or two above what's needed for shipping, presumably because management and timelines are so warped that you'll be rushed and overworked and still have to deliver. People starting out or shifting careers don't have anything like this kind of backing; you go it alone and hope that you're developing the skills necessary to get hired.
How to Use Responsive HTML Video ( and Audio)
Responsive video is a web standard again, and with patches in Firefox and Chromium, cross-browser support lands this week. This article talks about how to use media queries for delivering HTML video responsibly
and UV imaging of drivers faces commonly reveals
large difference in UV skin damage on the driver side

Is this true for the general population, or just professional drivers who drive 8+ hours a day?

Auto glass blocks a significant amount of UV radiation, and one certainly doesn't see people walking around with lopsided facial tans.

It seems to me that for a significant amount of UV light to reach the side of a driver's face:

- the sun would have to be rather low in the sky (at which point a significant portion of UV radiation is blocked by atmospheric scattering anyway)

- the window would have to be rolled down

- the car would need to be traveling in a specific heading (if the sun is low in the western sky, the driver would need to be traveling north in order to have significant exposure)
That's why govs should enforce standards for protocols/interfaces with a standard plug socket for a "controller". Replace the govs first though, fucking useless parasites.

Would be fun though, appliances can just have a "make me smart socket" with direct connection to hardware. Then it's the smart plug that needs kept updated, but more sustainable since it's used for many products. And if your manufacturer for it dies, can just replace with any other one since they'd be held to a standard.

i have been a contract developer, and have worked at technical companies in canada, and have never seen rates that are even close (and im not a jr / have never used java for work outside of small amounts for mobile.) there's no way these rates are as common as you are all making them out to be, unless it's some niche, or you're talking about extremely short contracts, or there's some other missing piece of context

We have an innate immune responses and adaptive immune responses. Innate immune responses look for common attributes of certain pathogens and then trigger an adaptive immune response if needed. Adaptive immune responses are highly specific to certain pathogens and can provide long lasting immunity to some of those pathogens, such as measles. How would vaccines work if we only had innate immunity?

So being exposed to certain pathogens can trigger a lasting effect, the length of which depends on the pathogen. If that effect has gone away or lessened severely over many months then it makes sense that only the innate immune response would be available against those pathogens, and the adaptive response would need to be learned again.

Nvidia doesn't have a monopoly here. Google have their TPU, AMD have MI300, Intel have Data Centre GPU Max, and then there are start ups like Graphcore. There are many alternatives. I think people choose Nvidia because it's easier for them to use. That's because everyone else uses them, and that's because for years and years their competitors (other than Google perhaps) have dropped the ball on good software.

Yes! What I see instead is a shoot-yourself-in-the-foot mindset. Its everywhere I see. I wish there was a way to see and fix this before its too late.

The right way to treat your loyal customers is also micro-intangible, hard to show clear numbers and so does not bear any rewards for a manager taking this approach. Instead, the opposite of screwing loyal customers for new ones is rampant, easy to cook up numbers and so amply rewarded not just limited to tech companies.

Unless the same management chain is responsible for new customers and leaving ones, this is an internal conflict of interest and its effects only show at the macro level.

I've seen many once-popular restaurants go this route, losing long time repeat customers who prefer well priced, familiar drinks and dishes over hit or miss exotic overpriced ones. They don't complain, they just stop coming back.

Car manufacturers, Appliance manufacturers, Food chains, Internet Service Providers, Telcos, tech startups are all guilty of this. Factions at MS, Goog, AAPL too are guilty.

In Hilversum you will see a lot more big SUV's than in a typical Dutch city, the area ('Gooi') is considered quite posh in the Netherlands.

Yes there definitely are possibilities to make more out the existing urban area's. But wherever someone has an idea for building more houses, there always are others that are against it. In your case, building 4-5 story buildings would be seen by some as disturbing the skyline of the city. They'd rather keep their current small city atmosphere.
