You can remain unconvinced but it's somewhat true.

I can keep writing prompts for DE3 or similar until it gives me something like what I want, but the problem is, there are often subtle but important mistakes in many images that are generated.

I think it's really good at portraits of people, but for anything requiring complex lighting, representation of real world situations or events, I don't think it's ready yet, unless we're ready to just write prompts, click buttons and just accept what we receive in return.

There must be some variation of Zawinski's Law that explains the flaming dumpster that apps/sites like UG turn into. I feel like MuseScore is going in that direction too.

I was hoping by now we would have solved the problem of a decentralized repository of user-generated content without need for monetization.

Perhaps you shouldn't use something that happened 75 years ago against someone to justify something someone else did a month ago?
"Pioneer"? Open source email clients had been around for 30 years before Roundcube existed?

So many people in tech today live as if nothing existed before their career started. That is not good.
The point is that 1) those reasons are themselves assuming a particular value system in order to judge evil (for someone who believes national sovereignty is absolute, neither country need give any reason to justify such decisions), and 2) those reasons are simply the propaganda you've heard, not necessarily what actually happened.
It's worth reading the article. In this case, it seems to have been a hardware issue - as such, not directly related to Rust, C, or Python, but triggered by an instruction that was only called by some file loading routines. It's a very cool deep dive into debugging these sorts of issues.
How about for the quest 2/3? Anyone did that?

What similar quality vision models are there outside gpt4 ? It’s annoying it has so maybe (albeit mostly hack-prompt-able) restrictions.
Because better hardware gets cheaper, and one's technique and software improves over time.

I was able to recover a 13 year old photo I took with a D70s which was extremely noisy. By using what I learnt and state of the art software (which is Darktable), I was able to extract a very nice photo out of it.

Also, as your style improves and experience piles up, you look to your "bad" photos and say "Aha, there's a nice angle here. Let's process this".

But it seems that 265 is pretty much the entire headcount of Weta Digital’s 'tools department' they have acquired back in 2021? From their announcement:

"Unity welcomes Weta Digital’s world-class engineering talent of 275 engineers that are known for architecting, building, and maintaining Weta Digital tools and core pipeline."

So it just seems they have just thrown away $1.6 billion. If they were unable to commercialize any of their tools while they still had the people who built them it will be entirely hopeless now.
His actions and the value he created helped to (or actively did) build countless companies, and millions of jobs. Services and products we are using every day. People that earned a living, kids and families enjoying a prosperous life - are all result of his actions.

Moreover, he taught and inspired many others do the same.

That's a hero in my book. Not some sports player, actor or worse - some politician - people are usually worshipping.

The bridge drop affected Fedora quite a bit - Fedora traditionally used to have their IRC rooms on freenode, then on libera.chat - including the "official" stuff like Special Interest Group meeting, bug triages, GO/NOGO meeting for release, releng, etc.

While it was decided to migrate to Matrix, still a lot of tooling was built for IRC & many users connected via IRC to the rooms, so the situation with bridges in place was ideal.

But wen the bridge stopped working, it effectively split some of these room in half, with some people being on Matrix and some only on IRC. Worse yet, some meeting still depend on IRC only tooling/bots & happen only on the "IRC side" until the tooling can be ported. Not the best situation. :)
In this threads, examples of useful idiots. I'll start.

War is rarely about morals. But if they did drop them, we would be talking about casualties 20-30 times higher.

This isn't about morals, since that would demand that every death is one too many. Killing just as many Palestinians as Jews were killed would be a fundamentally unmoral justification as well.

I think there is different expectation towards Israel, every country would have reacted to an attack like it happend to it and I don't see an alternative to topple the regime in Gaza.

The blockade of essentials is questionable, if done for an extended time. The previous blockade of goods wasn't though, it was requested by the PA and Egypt as well. Arguably it wasn't thorough enough.
Data Storage and Compute should be separate orthogonal issues, it's not needed in this comparison.

Stateful vs Stateless.

Your monolith is a binary that gets distributed to hosts to perform some function. The binary has multiple entry points that can be envoked. Most calls are via internal library call.

Microserverices (also stateless) have a different artifacts for each component, services call other services via a private API (often grpc/httprc).
There was a pretty big discussion about paperless-ngx a couple of months ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37800951 (183 comments)

I tested it out then and am considering migrating from my current system (Google Drive) to using a self-hosted approach. Paperless seems to have a good approach for minimizing the mental overhead of ingesting and categorizing new documents - which is what ultimately leads me to stacking documents up for months before processing them. My initial pilot run was promising, but I haven't gotten around to switching yet.

From the changelog, it's not really clear to me what's notable about this release, especially as a new/potential user.

This page is a better introduction to the product, although it doesn't mention the v2 release yet:

https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/
Sure, so if a Iranian helicopter carrier parked itself in international waters near New York City, everyone would be totally chill with that right?
The idea is to report all the facts that at least a substantial minority of the public believe to be relevant, regardless of which way they swing politically. All of those facts qualify under this standard, and also the ones I suggested as well. If you leave out the part about Chicago being a Democratic stronghold city, half the American public are going to be yelling that fact at the article and concluding that the writer is biased. And if you leave out the comparison of American gun violence to other countries, you'll have the same accusations of bias coming from other readers.

If you want to preempt those accusations of bias, then you need to cover your bases and present all the facts that the public may believe to be relevant. Even those facts which you personally believe to be irrelevant distractions from the narrative you prefer.
I knew you wouldn't.
Credit cards have a crucial benefit over debit cards: they add a layer of indirection to my bank account.

Steal (or mischarge) my credit card, run up 10k in charges, no problem. No money ever comes out of my bank account and I dispute the charges/report the card stolen.

Steal my debit card, run up 10k in charges...there's 10k gone out of my account until the bank resolves the situation.
In other good news, Mastodon is now so good a Twitter clone that you think it's Twitter.
Propaganda doesn't mean its necessarily a lie or misleading. Its just government marketing. It can be truthful or deceitful.

Back to the core issue of accidental shootdowns. I think its important to note that while these tragedies have continued to happen after the US incident in the 80's, none of them involved the US military since. That does lead credibility to their claim it was a UI and procedural problem that was fixed. Both Iran and Russia have shot down civilian air liners in the 21st century. In Russia's case it was 2014 in Ukraine and was judged a war crime by the courts. The man responsible, Igor Girkin, is wanted and likely will never leave Russia for fear of arrest. In Iran's case they accidentally shot down their own airliner in their own air space a few years back. I don't know what became of that.
> In Europe, banks don't like you taking out credit cards. Borrowing money is viewed as a weakness and it's best to never do it.

Don't know about that, "Europe" is a big place. Credit cards are pretty common in the UK at least, and stuff like balance transfer cards (for shuffling) are too. Maybe not to American extents, but hardly a weakness.

In fact, looks like more people in Iceland, Norway and Switzerland own credit cards than the US: https://www.statista.com/statistics/675371/ownership-of-cred...

I have something in Dropbox from many years ago which I don't remember. It tomorrow I found I couldn't login to my account since it was deleted, yes I would wonder what I lost, but I would also acknowledge that I wasn't actually using that data and had some forced spring cleaning. It's ok really.

2 years is a long time to not login to a single Google service given their reach, let alone the one that might have data like Drive. Speaking on principal, not reality , for a free service that costs the end user $0 and the provider >$0 makes absolutely no sense to complain.
Mastodon folks don't seem to like anyone. They've removed discoverability features before because they don't like discoverability. Thankfully, there's Pleroma and other alternatives.

> but maybe Unity was looking for coding for realistic rendering, know-how, for rise a competence with the Unreal market space?

Unity already has a 3d engine that can match Unreal (more or less, and we won't talk about the fact that there is 3 rendering pipeline, and the deprecated one is the only one who is reliable. Really, we won't talk about it). If anything, Unity use to have some of the best realtime-cg engineer under their payroll.
The mobile/2D game is mostly historical, a lot of AAA quality game have been made in Unity.

VFX is a different beast. For the longest time, realtime CG and VFX/movie CG use to be really two separate field (with a lot of connection ofc, CG is CG). Unreal made wave when they started to be used in cinema (The Mandalorian I think was the first big name openly saying they were using Unreal in their pipeline). Realtime CG got so good that it can (for some specific effect) be used instead of traditional VFX pipeline, which are usually slower to iterate in. I think the exec at Unity saw Unreal "success" and wanted to get a piece of the cake before it was too late. It was not a bad idea, but Unity as been so mismanaged these past few years, it again completely failed at producing anything real, stable and usable.
I haven't been using it too much yet but I am really impressed by paperless-ngx so far. It just works(TM) and the auto-tagging functionality is surprisingly good, even with just a few documents in it.

Does anyone have a good scanner recommendation though? I am eyeing the Brother ADS-1700W since it seems to be recommended often, but I would really like to use the "scan to webhook" feature (it's 2023 after all) instead of SMTP or whatever else are the options I would have with the Brother.

Show HN: Definite – Get a data stack (database, ETL, and BI) in one app
Definite is a data-stack-in-a-box. We give you ETL (connectors to 500 data sources), a data warehouse, and BI (reports & dashboards) in one app. We have a built-in modeling layer for core metrics and an AI assistant to answer questions about your business. Here's a 3 minute demo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YjXXljXV9I

Since we're handling ETL, we already know what each source looks like and have pre-built data models for them. This means you can instantly build a report that connects both Hubspot and Stripe data or Klaviyo and Shopify data.

We're working closely with design partners right now. As part of this, we'd invest in getting your first dashboards set up while minimizing the load on your team.

We charge 5$ per hour of compute and have discounts at higher tiers of usage.
After some length of time, there’s a reasonable likelihood that the anode rod has corroded to the threaded boss and attempting to replace will condemn the water heater. (If you’re not DIY, it’s also a $200+ trip charge and a $75 marked-up part.)

When we bought this place, the water heater was old and I decided it was a better plan to just leave it alone and replace when it leaked. (There was nothing valuable on the mechanical room floor.) A year later, we had a new heater and 15 years after that, it’s about due again.

I can definitely understand the “do nothing” approach, particularly if the rod is 10+ years in situ.
They are still massively over-bloated. Realistically they should cut at least another 30% or so (for some reason they still have about 50% more people than they did at the beginning on 2022).

Of course that would turn into a disaster due to obvious reasons (good luck firing the "right" people). So they are kind of screwed, no way can the generate enough income to support 7000 people without massive growth.

It's a bit of an apples to oranges but Epic for instance "only" has around ~4,5 employees yet just Fornite alone is reportedly bringing almost 2x more revenue than Unity's entire business...

Of course that might just be an indication that you can't really make much money (or even be profitable) from selling a game engine (licensing Unreal is just a side-gig to Epic after all, they made less than $300 mil from it last year).
You mean like getting "the only democracy in the region" to be our ally in supporting America's wars in the region? This is the most often touted "benefit" but to say this actually has value to the average American is farcical. Most of America's support for Israel is rooted in religion and ideology, not any tangible benefits to America.
Even Germany seems to have given up its claimed "never again!" morals.
Oh, I don't doubt we'd do the same. We did it in Afghanistan.

IMO, that wound up a cautionary tale that proves my point.

Israel, like the US in Afghanistan, cannot achieve this goal via their current approach, no matter how much they wish it.
Considering the use-case of just interacting with a computer and typing prompts, I'd call it real-time.

I think it's because on an individual basis, attributing cancers to a particular cause is very difficult. It's only when you're dealing with large populations that statistical trends become damning (as happened with cigarettes), otherwise it's usually very difficult to point to a specific kid and say his cancer came from a specific business.

Some nice things in the language, well done! I used content addressable code snippets stored in IPFS for my own system too. Content addressable code seemed to start with Unison, but now a lot of new programming languages are seeing the benefits of this technique!
You are correct, that's it!

And no,I wouldn't learn it nowadays. It's more like a blast from the past. If you mean the general appearance with "looks pretty lame", yea well it's old. Grey was trendy once and afair it is a java app:)

Also, not to mix things up: This is a concept mapping tool. Which means, nodes, edges, labels, with no enforced structure. Unlike mind maps (what cmaps.io seems to be), which have a tree structure.

It would be improved if the problems weren't just direct copies from the python documentation.

For example, I was unaware of TypedDict so I searched the typing page for "typeddict" assuming there would likely be something like that.

What I got was an example containing the exact solution.

I mean, I definitely learned something new but I think it would have been better if I had to come up with my own solution on the basis of the documentation and example.
This is not a valid comparison.

Yes, some Palestinians were displaced, even more Jews were displaced at the same time. Even by total numbers, which is hard, since Jews are always a minority and even if you don't count European Jews and just look at the surrounding countries.

One injustice doesn't excuse the other, but people need to move on. Germans did need to part with land as well.

The stolen property story would need some correcting here.
I love this demo! 35 seconds, terrible video quality, but it shows you can unlock so much more. Great job.

>10 different frequencies (3 civil aviation)

Those 7 others they couldn't receive. For the 3 cilivian ones they couldn't even know which aircraft it was directed at.

> and were operating under the understanding the plane was a fighter carrying missiles.

If they said they thought it was squawking on military mode II instead of mode III i'd believe em. The recordings say otherwise but few people making a mistake or the like happens.
If they on top of that say they saw it dive whilst their equipment recorded the plane as climbing as well as other discrepancies that don't match up....

Sorry, I don't tend to believe it anymore. I'd assume it much more likely they were covering their asses with lies.

Would you kindly clarify what “defacto investment hero” means? Hopefully not in cult-like definitions.

This would justify the retaliation by Israel to any extend.
I mean it looks like the private internal memos regarding the Soviet incident were released in 1992, so this is not propaganda. Or if it were it'd make the USSR look better, not really bad.
GDPR Certification Workshop in Luxembourg
For those of you wondering if anything related to GDPR is happening between the different data protection authorities of the European Economic Area... Well, they met last week in Luxembourg to discuss issues related to accreditation and certification schemes.
Another good write up of this incident is on the excellent Admiral Cloudberg blog:

https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-long-shadow-of-war-t...

Another article in that series is also related to a UX mistake: Air France Flight 447.

This crashed, in part, because the inputs from two control sticks (one for pilot and other for copilot) were averaged if they disagreed, unlike on a Boeing (at the time at least) where they're physically connected so you can't have contradictory inputs in the first place, and you'd feel the other pilot fighting you. When the plane stalled, one pilot correctly pushed down to come out of the stall (after which they would be able to pull back up) while the other pulled up instead (which is wrong but does feel like the instinctively correct thing to do). The inputs cancelled out so had almost no effect. By the end both pilots were pulling up, but that hadn't been the case earlier on when the problem could have been resolved.

The captain had been on a rest brake and only re-entered the cabin at the last moment. He finally figured out the problem but it was too late to do anything.

It's a interesting story, but the author may be overselling it. It's not a _failure_ story, nor was it a 500M mistake. I get that it was really stressful and the mistake could have cost him the job, but it didn't; it also didn't cost NASA anything other than a few hours of work (which, during testing, I would guess it's expected).

When I'm asked to share failures, I'm usually not thinking about "that one time when I almost screwed up but everything was fine", instead, I'm thinking of when I actually did damage to the business and had to fix it somehow.
They also don't have a large an obvious "Korean Air" livery on them. Military aircraft are marked appropriately. I wouldn't necessarily expect a soviet fighter pilot to read english but I would expect him to recognize what a civil airliner looks like. The USSR had their own and also wore colorful liveries.
In general yes, and people with enough Zen can do this. But if also the CEO is looking forward to hear from the board and the investors to explain the incident, he might not be in the mood to laugh.
All the claims made in this post feel incredibly tenuous.

One thing I dislike about this type of "scholarship" is that the author will just confidently assert a concept via moral preening without actually bothering to try and rigorously substantiate it.
