I mean learning to fly a plane is about the price of a car and the rental price is ~200/hr. You can use it really for recreational purposes only because it can only transit between certain places & it seats 2 people. That really puts it into the expensive hobby category.

If you had autopilot remove the need to learn to fly the thing and provide for increased density of air space + figure out how to let aviation vehicles takeoff and land more flexibly, it would become the commute option of choice for more people (it would still be quite pricy due to fuel costs but you’d see way more of them)
If ChatGPT ever outputs other user's chat history, the company is as good as dead. If that could be exploited using this technique that is out in the wild for over a year: show me the data.
I'm saying that microservices as a tech-cultural phenomena (or even era) was a response to a very specific set of constraints. The whole cloud thing was new, hiring was hard, expertise was scarce, business was booming so loud people got deaf from simply thinking about it, the church of true scalability was omnipotent, tools were crude, marvelously maintained monorepos were only artifacts of seriously wet [FAAN]G-fueled dreams, etc.

It made sense for Netflix, because they had a big Cassandra cluster, too much money, and a very picky organizational/hiring culture, and so on.

Extracting Faces from Graphs
I definitely appreciate that running something locally or self-hosting is way more work than most people would want, but there's still something a bit weird about wanting to "never sign a sketchy contract again" but just blindly trusting assertions that "We don't store your data", "We follow security best practices", and "We use strong 256 bit SSL encryption". Is this just a tool you made to scratch your own itch and decided to share it in case anyone else finds it useful, or are there plans to monetize this in the future? The proclamations of privacy and security don't convince me as much as open sourcing it and letting me run it myself would, but I imagine you wouldn't do that if you were planning to try to turn this into a business.
phpinfo is like a very in-depth system info function for php. Its a debugging function, and shouldn't be in production code to begin with.

The issue i see being exploited is that the owncloud codebase contains this function, and its in the unit/integration tests, which shouldnt be in production code (or should be inaccessible at least).

That all being said, the real issue here is that there are sysadmins and devops people who are deploying php.ini configurations to production that allow the use of phpinfo (and probably other functions too), by not explicitly denying those functions, which is totally something the php configuration supports, and is absolutely something that should be done, as there are a number of unsafe php functions.

Regarding Recent Accusations
Constant maintenance does not entail running an OS on their servers and RDPing into it. I have a capable machine, I can service it myself. If Microsoft wants to EOL OSes after a one-time purchase, that is their prerogative. There is a distinct difference in expectation between subscription OSes and LTS releases, though. That's why Microsoft can value a Windows license at hundreds of dollars.

OS vendors have a continued interest in supporting my hardware so they can exploit me as a customer. If Microsoft makes too hasty of a move, they know they'll just push their users onto competing platforms that don't charge for 5+ years of support. Stuff like MacOS, ChromeOS or even Linux.
EventBridge + Lambda or ECS gets you pretty far for the last two imo
Yeah it's weird- so many commenters in /r/StarTrekMemes also seem to have taken no lessons (or the wrong lessons) from TNG, and at the same time accuse me of having done the same.

People and worldviews are totally inconsistent, even when two people watched the exact same thing religiously and can quote it back to you in context.
> The pure digital speedometer is significantly less failure prone

It sure is. I'm old enough to have had several cars with speedometer malfunctions due to that stupid little plastic gear at the transmission. One more nuisance I'm glad we don't have on newer cars.
Well yes, this model like others is quite far from giving you a finished piece. But if it's giving you "a sense" of possibly useful ideas, that's enough to make it more than "random". (Besides, I'm not sure that we would even want AI to produce music on its own with zero human input - what would be the point of that? So "just noodling around, giving you some ideas to get started with" is quite good as far as it goes.)
The US is confusing because analogously 'most jews are atheists' and 'most christian's are not practicing'

It's only like 10% or so that are thriving and practicing core tenants of faith.
And the twisted thing about all of this is that when we start seeing large numbers, humans tend to stop caring. We care about an individual's story, but our ability to care diminishes the moment there are two, and all but vanishes when it's a large group.

So I'm not really sure what the answer is. If the individual cases chosen for awareness campaigns could be selected based on their traceability, it might provide a bridge from cause to effect.

Or maybe it really needs to be a multi-pronged effort. Present individual cases to people care. Separately, present aggregate cases so people start linking those individual stories to systemic factors.
This doesn't make sense to me - for a lot of religious workers it's not just saying words or leading a service, but something spiritual. It seems like they think they can automate away the clergyperson's humanity, but how can they automate away spirituality?

I suppose for simple tasks that are limited to seating someone, or reading - that can be automated, but that's far from all clergy do.
Was that not precisely @Suhail’s business plan? I hear they have since pivoted to AI image gen.
I interpreted the same fact the opposite way. Midgley was okay with exposing himself to lead and thought taking a vacation to get "a large supply of fresh air" would fix his lead exposure. This sounds like someone who didn't believe there were long term effects from chronic exposure to even very small doses of lead.
For sure many other things caused schisms, wars and revolutions both before and after.

But -for good or for evil- the printing press can be fingered as the direct and/or indirect culprit in quite a number of cases!

Think of the wars associated with the rise of Protestantism, or more directly the reproduction of revolutionary literature, spreading of propaganda, or the slightly unethical tabloid owners pressing for war in the 19th century.
There was no Russia in the 9th century, it was founded much later.
I suspect ChatGPT is using a form of clean-room design to keep copyrighted material out of the training set of deployed models.

One model is trained on copyrighted works in a jurisdiction where this is allowed and outputs "transformative" summaries of book chapters. This serves as training data for the deployed model.
> Where exactly is the progress here?

The progress here is that driving the inference phase of generating AI imagery down to a much smaller time/cost stops it from holding back the rest of the creative process using that toolset.
I mean, once you're past Cobb and north Fulton to the north, and down by McDonough or so to the south, you're back in red country all the way until Savannah. Yes, there's a "people vote, not land" thing in play there, but we're purple _in aggregate_, and even then only barely.

I wish this weren't the case, but I think it's less due to a blue shift and more indicative of the factional split between the Kemp (or older, Deal) type of Republicans who just vote for the good ol' boys they recognize and the MAGA wing (that has eaten the whole party in most of the country), with a sprinkling of confused "middle of the red" Repubs who don't think they can trust voting anymore at all.

I'll take the effect it has, sure, but I don't think we get to hang a "Mission Accomplished" banner until more than 10 years out.

Reading professional material means you want to improve yourself/your craft/your knowledge, while reading social media is shown to have mostly negative effects, so obviously nobody is going to advocate the latter.
No author names?
I think the idea is just to have it lose "train of thought" because there aren't any high-probability completions to a long run of repeated words. So the next time there's a bit of entropy thrown in (the "temperature" setting meant to prevent LLMs from being too repetitive), it just latches onto something completely random.
I'm just disappointed that it seems the only way our government can make money is by pulling it from American companies.
Has he shown any initiative to become more outgoing? And what would be his incentives for doing so?

It is possible that he sees his situation as perfectly fine and not in need of any correction. In that case any change in his behavior would be caused by pressure from others, and I am not sure this is a good outcome.
You know, I'm contemplating a hip replacement at not quite 40 which can be problematic if it wears out too fast, but there does seem to be a lot of advice these days to do it when you're young for reasons like this. Still far from an easy decision for me though.

Not meeting requests. Not sent to the prospects.

Appointments. Sent to the salesmen.

Our office staff takes phone calls, emails, and website submissions from prospects -- they then have to let a salesman know that someone wants an inspection and estimate. The best and easiest way to do this is by creating an appointment for the salesman best suited for the job which will block off some of their schedule to connect with the prospect and set up an on-site meeting. This also sends an email to the salesman assigned to the new prospect [This is the part where MSFT spam filter tells me to GFY]. We don't send out emails to prospects until they give us their email directly.

If you would've actually read my comment, you would see that you didn't respond to anything I said but just made up your own idea of what I said then talked past me.
This is indeed a passage that is easily misinterpreted by many of its readers. A key to interpreting it correctly, is to note whom Christ is addressing when he uses the expression in question. _It isn't the rich man._ The rich man had already left, because he was not prepared to prioritize God over material riches. The majority of people listening were not rich. They were the common folk. The lesson is, as you've made clear IMO, that the greatest good is God, and prioritizing other goods above God is to make a god of lesser goods, and that this does not lead to the ultimate happiness that is what Heaven is by definition, which consists ultimately of unity with the authentic greatest good first and foremost. And indeed, as other verses state, those who prioritize lesser goods will ultimately have neither the greatest good nor lesser goods. Everyday experience tends to agree with this as well. Obsessive pursuit of lesser goods (which are indeed good) often makes those goods inaccessible to us. We lose on all fronts.

And so, in a very real sense, as you also note, there is nothing especially important about the rich man per se. The poor can lust just as much, if not more, for money than the rich, because the poor can more easily fantasize about and project hopes onto what they do not have; the rich man is more likely to have become disillusioned with his riches.
I think this is a misfeature that will hurt Twitter going forward.

The next time you have a strong, but not dangerous, precipitation event, go somewhere you can't hear cars, wear protective gear (rain/cold) and stand out in the weather. As the scandies say, there is no bad weather, only bad clothing.

Listen.

Smell.

Take in the smells of the world around you as if you were smelling the nuances of a fine-cooked meal. Let your nose be your eyes and see how a dog sees.

Feel

Notice what the weather feels like when you are surrounded by it.

When you get back home, don't stop noticing sounds and smells. It will give you a better direction than staying in your head.
I finally switched from my ancient Mayan EDMS running an outdated version on an Ubuntu 16.04 VM that I couldn’t upgrade because the Mayan docs for that version are not available anymore. I’m not a huge user but I shred everything I can and have around 1000 documents.

I have zero regrets so far. Paperless ngx is so much more user friendly, the automatic date extraction from OCR, the auto tagging and document type classification, and the ease to backup and restore sold me. I highly recommend it.

I found that DS9 ep pretty boring. Whenever Avery Brooks is given an opportunity to chew the scenery it breaks the 4th wall for me. The main value of the episode is Andrew Robinson as Garak (as it always is), commenting on the absurdity of the fictional spy stuff.

In The Pale Moonlight is the maximum scenery-chewing by Avery Brooks I can take.
I think I can emphasise with him on this one. I get a tremendous amount of anxiety whenever I show anyone my work or anything that I've worked on. The key here, and I think you've got it, is starting small.

But, I mean really small. Do you do much pairing at your company? Just sitting down with him and 1:1 and getting him to show you his stuff and then slowly expanding that group with people that he feels comfortable with. That's what I did anyway - I even did my first conference talk this year.

Do not throw him in the deep end and make him the focus of something that he's not comfortable with. When in a group as well take more pauses so he has a chance to speak and invite his opinion occasionally.

Hope you can work it out, if you can you'll do him a massive favor.

Show HN: Dolt Workbench – A modern, browser-based, open source MySQL workbench
Why are SQL workbenches stuck in 2002?

I work for the company behind Dolt, the first fully versioned SQL database. As a database company, we have often felt the pain of the lack of modern, web-native or browser-based SQL workbench products.

We built a cool database UI for our other web products (DoltHub and Hosted Dolt) and we wanted the world to have it. The Dolt Workbench not only works with Dolt, which will unlock version control features, but it also works with any MySQL-compatible database, including MySQL and MariaDB. As far as we can tell, the Dolt Workbench is the only free, open source, browser-based SQL workbench available today.

We’re actively developing and would appreciate any feedback!

> The GNoME project aims to drive down the cost of discovering new materials. External researchers have independently created 736 of GNoME’s new materials in the lab, demonstrating that our model’s predictions of stable crystals accurately reflect reality.

It seems like a neat project.

I wonder, though, what does an unsuccessful prediction look like? They successfully created 736 of the materials. I’m sure they didn’t make 380000-736 bad predictions, hahaha!

Would it be interesting to know about materials in their set where fabrication was attempted but didn’t work out? Or maybe it is much more complicated than that; maybe it is assumed that there are crystals in the set that are basically impossible to fabricate for complicated engineering reasons, and but that’s fine because it is just the beginning of the investigation.
Jeez the hits keep coming. Every time they have to update about this Oct breach it puts FUD in my mind about this company, that I have never done business with anyway.

Personal anecdote: I moved from my red home state over 30 years ago for these same reasons. A huge number of the people I know in my current and previous blue states have been, like me, transplants from red states. Many came for the jobs, but a lot confess to have been motivated by the social/political climate.

The implication is that the red states will get poorer and the blue states will get richer per capita which has already been true, but if the trend continues will become more pronounced. Ultimately, this can't have good consequences.
Since the CPU instructions are the same, instruction patching at startup or install time can be used. Just patch in the correct instructions for the respective hardware.
Is it just a coincidence that we always see the same face of the moon?(1999)
My philosophy is this:

Your rights end where mine begin.

If someone wants to do something that impacts my ability to live my life, that’s not something that should be a right, I.e. someone being gay doesn’t materially impact someone else’s ability to live their life but making their ability to exist as they are illegal does impact their ability to live their life.

I find it to be a fairly simple premise to guide myself by.
I doubt that Black Mirror’s actual audience was the concern here. The issue was that they wanted to promote the show to all their users on the front page, and by default that would have led to everyone’s Netflix homepage displaying BLACK MIRROR: PIG FUCKER in big letters. People who wanted to watch Black Mirror would’ve been fine with it, but parents, families, prudes, etc., would’ve sent more than a few angry emails.
This is more a measure of how ignorant the person (or AI) was that would include this in a document.

> If it was AI enhancement, the entire image would have bizarre artifacts, which it doesn't.

a) That's absolutely not always the case with current tooling, especially professional NN-driven tooling from Adobe and the like.

b) This isn't an ai-generated image-- these tools just create detail where there isn't detail. What it has to add to reconstruct a railing, flat surface, or repeating pattern is a lot more straightforward than trying to reconcstruct a blurry face.

> It's likely that the faces were washed out by the light and the original photographer many years ago 'enhanced' it by scratching some facial features into the developed photographic plate, which was pretty common at the time.

c) Those faces aren't scratched out anything. The shapes are far too organic and unnatural looking. Those forms and misinterpretations of what's there are absolutely AI-generated. I'd bank my retirement on it. I've done this work professionally, and I've been doing photo manipulation for 30 years.
Jellyfin 10.8.13 – Two security fixes
There’s a major flaw in that argument. Advertising without tracking still generates revenue, so having two different amounts of advertising based on tracking or no tracking is likely permissible.

However, linking the lack of tracking with buying a zero advertising tier is clearly coupling not a discount. Consider the reverse what if someone wants to pay for zero advertising but is perfectly willing to have tracking. Thus we’ve discovered 4 possible decisions and FB is trying to artificially limit them.

XML is less precise, because it's more flexible. Powerful and mature tooling only matters to people creating and editing XML, not computers. XML Schemas are there to support human editors, not computers. Verboseness means larger files and longer processing times, which does matter to computers; the verbosity is explicitly and only there for human readers and editors. JSON is a much better format for something humans only occasionally look at.

agreed, further with today's parallelism it should be trivial but like you said, most languages stop at scalars and force the onus on you. I get it, higher order math is an implementation detail but to not provide the proper tools for those implementations is frustrating.
