As someone who created over 500.000 images last time i checked 6 months ago, i don't know where that notion comes from, that A.I. images need no work.

Key here is that the artist wants to express an idea, an emotion something like that. When said purpose requires no work that's fine. When said purpose requires some work, that's fine as well. A.I. generated images in my opinion require a human in the loop for sure, using Photoshop or Automatic1111 or whatever.

A good channel to be educated about the amount of work, an artist puts into creating images, is Olivio Sarikas on YT.
So there's a larger issue here -- predating even the Internet -- which I'll call "The Machu Picchu effect." In essence, it's the way that amazing first time experiences can be debased by having constantly been exposed to scruffy, easily accessible but lesser versions of them beforehand.

I avoided this in the 1990s, before hiking Nepal's Annapurna Circuit, by refusing to watch any videos showing the trail. No, no, no. I wanted to take in the whole experience with a sense of wonder. And, yes, that's what happened. Totally unforgettable trip.

Fast forward to 2012, when I had business in Peru and a chance to visit Machu Picchu. This time I messed up. I watched the videos, flipped through the slide shows, etc. So, sadly, when I hiked up to the Sun Gate and caught the first glimpse of this restored ancient city, all I could think was: "Yep. That looks just like the pictures."

Generative AI certainly widens the ways we can inflict novelty fatigue on ourselves. But we've still got the ability to dial back on armchair experiences that will deaden our appreciation of the real thing.
And give back money? Preposterous!
The question is not whether charitable giving can accomplish good things: of course it can. I don't think anyone would say that, for example, preventing malaria, treating parasite infections, and providing people with clean drinking water aren't good things.

The question is, why do we pretty much all agree that those obviously good things are obviously good things to do? Do we agree because of some abstract "rationalist" calculation? No, we agree because of obvious human ethical intuitions: wouldn't you want to be free from malaria, have your parasite infection treated, and have clean drinking water? The only "rationalist" calculation that comes in here is figuring out how to give such things to the most people for a given amount of money, and that also doesn't require any huge abstract calculation: it just requires looking at obvious metrics of efficiency, like minimizing administrative overhead and minimizing the impact of the corrupt governments in the countries where these charitable efforts take place.

In other words, we don't need Derek Parfit or any other ethical philosopher to tell us how to be "effective" with charity when the things we are doing are things that pretty much everyone agrees are obviously good things. It's nice if the ethical philosophers agree that those are obviously good things--but it's not clear that Derek Parfit, for example, would agree, since he can't even agree that it's a good thing to not treat people close to you callously.

Also, even if they agree on the obviously good things, the ethical philosophers go way beyond that. They argue for ethical claims that are not at all obvious--that most people would say are obviously wrong--and they do it based on abstract "rationalist" calculations even when those calculations fly in the face of the very ethical intuitions that lead most of us to agree that things like preventing malaria, treating parasite infections, and providing people with clean drinking water are obviously good things to do. But if you discard those ethical intuitions--and certainly someone like Parfit who is willing to treat those close to him callously, and do it intentionally, based on his ethical philosophy, is doing that--what do you have left? What basis is there for making any kind of ethical claim at all? At that point, whatever concept of "good" the philosopher is arguing for is just made up out of whole cloth, based on their personal ideology.

It was an obvious consequence of the grammar rule that was updated.

It was added on a experimental basis 3.5 years ago, and released in Ruby 3.0.0 in December 2020 (Ruby currently bumps the first decimal every Christmas day, current release series is 3.2, and 3.3.0 is due this Christmas.

> So the tradeoff is that the parsing rules of that operator may change in the future? Who would even use it if it could change again?

You can safely use it as long as you understand that anything that inside the method body might operate on a whole assignment expression will likely operate on the `def` if applied to an endless method which is almost certainly not what you want, in which case the solution is to either not use an endless def or use parentheses to make your intent clear. IF operating on the `def` expression is what you want, then you either need to avoid end-less def's or enclose the expression in parentheses or your code might break.

That is, this is safe (but means different things), as long as "some_expression" is safe to put as the right hand side of an expression (which might take parentheses or not):

def foo = (some_expression if bar)

(def foo = some_expression) if bar

def foo = some_expression

This is not:

def foo = some_expression if bar

I think if the data goes insurer -> Ariely -> assistant, and both insurer and assistant present evidence that they didn't do it, then there is certainly a suspiciously large amount of smoke for there to be no fire. Short of CCTV footage showing him doing it, it's hard to get stronger evidence.

Yeah, governments love the idea that they can influence the population via simple tricks. That's understandable.

Unfortunately nudges are still very much en vogue. COVID was nothing but endless nudging, maybe more like pushing, with tricks like making everything into a social responsibility towards others being deployed endlessly even when not supported by the underlying facts. It worked extremely well. That said, I'm not sure you need psychologists to tell you that "do it for your grandmother" is a powerful manipulation tactic. A lot of the valid findings in psychology are obvious, and the non-obvious findings are often invalid. So we could just defund that field and not lose much IMHO. I say that as someone who has studied psychology. I have a good friend with a PhD in it who thinks the same.
I guess I'm looking for a hint as to why this selection of items is particularly interesting to you. These cover a pretty wide spread of topics, and for folks who aren't well versed in each topic, they might be better served by evaluating the standard option in that field (Redis, Qt, etc) before they dive into the weird alternatives
Yeah, all I could think of when reading this article was “why are you looking for awe in images on your computer?”

I think the true feeling of awe that the author is talking about can only come from being out in the real world. Don’t look for it on your computer.
"Good old-fashioned AI" (GOFAI) is a term of art that refers to symbolic AI, in contrast to deep NNs.

Maybe we need to rename it if deep learning is already "old fashioned"!

(EDIT: to be clear, I have no idea what TechCrunch thinks GOFAI means.)
Isn't the "state" parameter often used for including the return url? Similar to RelayState in SAML2?
I disagree. I have a Tacoma that definitely gets treated as a truck. The bed gets filled with stuff, I use the 4x4 every time I go through the Cascades, mountain passes, or washed out roads, and I've hauled closed to the limit with it several times. Would a van do some of those things? Maybe, but certainly not all, nor for the same price point.

There's another similar thing needing correction, which is that the LEDs near the center sweep a much smaller volume than the ones at the edge, and should be dimmed in order to yield equivalent luminance. LEDs describing tiny circles very close to the center would need to be dimmed a lot since they'd essentially be stationary. Wouldn't it be better then to sweep slightly larger circles at the middle anyways?
Observing a ball falling down once, even if you are 99.999% sure of what you saw, is still not a deductive process so it’s still a categorically different thing than a mathematical proof.

(The remaining 0.001%: maybe you were hallucinating and there was no ball)

Thanks!

The irony is, I haven't built the SE version of the card yet, only the SE/30 version, because the day before the boards arrived, my SE's hard drive died. I've got a Wifi BlueSCSI on the way as a replacement, which makes the whole project slightly moot, but I'll be interested to see how they perform in comparison to each other.

I'm not expecting blisteringly fast speeds, especially not from the SE, but from what I've seen of DaynaPORT performance figures, I should be able to beat them by a decent margin.
> that prefers consistency

So they should use the exact same OS and they'll have the same color picker everywhere, native to that OS. Problem solved.

The article I linked shows the Lightning gets close to 100 miles per charge when hauling near the limit. My MPG certainly takes a hit, but not that big and my truck is about half the price and size of the Lightning.
> Ahh so the data on this cooler can be read without moving parts, interesting.

I never said data, I said state. If you're getting hung up where I said “written” just think “changed” instead.

> In that broader definition (useful outside of computer hardware) "solid state" could refer to the parts that don't require constant power to maintain state.

This particular “broader definition” is not used in any domain, nor is it at all useful.

Nor was OP talking about any domain outside of computer hardware. They were talking specifically about hard drives and SSDs.

> OP was demonstrating how the term could be reasonably used to mean different things in different ways meaning that "solid state" is not a very useful term in it's own, it needs context to be meaningful.

They were demonstrating that if you make up definitions arbitrarily then nothing means anything. Regardless, “solid state” is a well-understood term with a specific widely understood meaning in the domain we’re all obviously discussing.

> "Under certain circumstances, the President may restrict access to covert action activities to only the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Committee, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, and the House and Senate leadership. By law, even in these rare cases, all Committee Members will be aware of such circumstances and be provided a “general description” of the covert action information that is fully briefed only to the leadership."

I guess that depends on what "general description" means. Take Stellar Wind for example, as briefings were limited to the Gang of Eight. [1] I would like to know what the "general description" of that program was and what other members were informed of.

Compatability is only better if you make the assumption that all your users need to be using javascript. I much prefer using the web without javascript, it impacts my laptops battery life by hours. Some sites, are not compatible with this and render a blank page or complain to me that they require javascript to render some text in windows. Meanwhile Amazon has a javascript free clone of their ecommerce site, showing that such herculean feats are possible without reaching for javascript.
TIL, thanks for the tip!

Do you know if there are other ways to hide but allow search?
Buying a book is just that a purchase. Copyright only applies when a copy is being made, thus no license is needed or implied. You can read it and then sell the physical book because you’re not making physical copies, but you can’t read it to a large audience because that requires a specific license.

Buying a physical CD or an action figure of some copyrighted character follows that same principle, the wishes of the original publisher becomes irrelevant until copyright applies. So you can for example take family photos of your kid holding that Barbie without issue, even make copies of it and back it up to the cloud with no problem.

TLDR; To say a license exists implies some additional privilege, but that’s simply not the case here.
Kudos to the author for actually pointing these out. A lot of those are the patterns that everyone got used to: they can be seen universally across the Internet, and some have been used for so long that it is probable that many users (and developers, and designers) don't even realize they are the dark patterns. Some are of course used intentionally, but I would guess some of the new web sites and web apps use them "just because everyone else does it".

Unfortunately for us, there is no easy solution, though. I think that the suggested solutions are too lightweight to be convincing, although I agree with the general idea: do your research, get the real competitive advantage. But this is easier said than done, while the dark patterns are easier to use. Like the Dark Force. Not sure the Force wins in real life eventually, but I surely hope so.

You carry the gas station with you. From time to time you need to charge at a bigger gas station.
My understanding is most of the multipoint cables are not switched at every point, it's more of a bundle of cables where each point gets a strand or two to every other point (or selected points, maybe the anchor points connect to all others, but minor points might only connect to the anchors and not each other).

That said, Djibouti is a major cargo transport hub for Ethiopia, and is probably a network transport hub as well. Ethiopia is the 2nd most populated country in Africa and that would justify a lot of cable landings.
This is very good I like this 10/10
One problem with dependant types is having to write the proofs, but perhaps AI can help with this. The type system can be the world the AI lives in, and we don't have to check the proofs too closely, only know that they proved our high level assertions.

Sadly, it is not that simple. E.g. if your boss wants to see the numbers, and the dark pattern performs better. Just yesterday we discussed how the 'business' trumps the 'user': https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38483181

Sometimes, measuring long-term effects might be an option, but that might also not help. I am still in favor of fighting for a good UX, but you should not categorize everybody as a horrible person who builds such crap (even though I want to too) ;-)
I can't refute such statement, because in my opinion encountering a real kitty in the nature is better. Not everything is black and white (like some kittens!) in this scenario. In my mind I would rank these experiences in such way:

1. Playing with cats in real life

2. Looking at real cat pics where a person took a photo

3. AI generated cat pics

It's similar to going to a concert and watching a video of the concert. You obviously won't get the same buzz from the latter.

So, if my theoretical feed consists of just the 3rd one, I am losing the enjoyment from the 2nd. I think that comparison also doesn't fit in though, as AI doesn't really replace "feelings you get from real life encounters" (for now at least) anyways. It only fights for the the spot in the digital content world.

One thing that sometimes I catch myself thinking in the past few months when I see any pic online is asking myself "is this actually real?". Even for pictures that are most likely real. I never used to do that in the past, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Great read. We have been trying our best in the project I work on to rip out as much JS as we can and implement things using the right html tags among other things.

Frankly, JS for an open source project used by thousands of users is a nightmare. This was a reason we have done our best to remove it and provide much more stable uses through yaml that then is used to construct the correct html rather than the spaghetti of JS from before.

I’ve come to view JS with a lot of skepticism the older I’ve become. People are free to use it, but I do hope web assembly gives more choice in this monopoly, which I believe is the only reason people fundamentally use JS, though they will invent many reasons why “it’s great!”
I don't feel too strongly about what I am about to say but can't we find a parallel here to the following statement?

> I am not surprised people find compilers exciting, and equally enthralled with the compilation process and also amazed at the binary outputs they create, but I wouldn't call describing program flow using a higher level language programming.

If the artist/developer can describe what they see in their mind's eye using a higher level of abstraction, does that invalidate value and function of the output?

There is a lot of value in constraining what the programmer can do. It's not always about getting to minimum viable product as fast as possible, in some fields you actually need to care about reliability and security. We keep finding security vulnerabilities in "battle tested" foundational software - it would be great if we could stop, or at least severely reduce that some day.

The state of software today is more like having several layers of swiss cheese and hoping that the holes don't happen to match anywhere.
