Last year I used Stable Diffusion + ControlNet to create a ~8x3 in sticker for my pal's motorcycle. I won't share the result here for privacy (and possible copyright/trademark) reasons.

I created the basic design in InkScape, then used SD and several ControlNet adapters to render photorealistic images from the design until one was deemed perfect. My friend loved the result, and since I can only do some sort of glorified programmer art, I wouldn't have been able to deliver a high quality image like that without using SD.
To clarify, a “paid plan” with zero benefits over free use is OK?

> He said he had been a highly regarded member of the force, and had so "impressed my superiors" that, at 18, "I was given the 'honor' to temporarily marry young girls before they were sentenced to death." In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained. Therefore a "wedding" ceremony is conducted the night before the execution: The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard - essentially raped by her "husband." "I regret that, even though the marriages were legal," he said. Why the regret, if the marriages were "legal?" "Because," he went on, "I could tell that the girls were more afraid of their 'wedding' night than of the execution that awaited them in the morning.

Maybe, but in that case wouldn’t you be more interested in another, more intimate/human movie?
But the whole point of the JEP is to offer a different and better feature than string interpolation because the JEP claims that string interpolation should be avoided. Saying that using it for string interpolation is more verbose than the very thing the JEP tried to avoid doing is missing the whole point. The idea is that in the most important cases you should avoid the `STR` processor in favour of a JSON, HTML, or SQL processor.

You can agree or disagree with the JEP's goal, but pointing out that the JEP manages to discourage the very thing that it sets out to discourage merely acknowledges that the goal is met.
Which is a nonsensical reasoning they're also requiring a template processor, so string templates were previously impossible in two different ways.

`\{` as an interpolation leader would make sense if untagged string literals became implicit STR templates, but that's not the case.
AI doesn't work.
It's called radix economy. Different radices have different efficiencies as defined by the ratio of number of digits in a radix alphabet over the number of placeholders required.

Simple example, base 1 is obviously inefficient once counting past 1. Similarly base 1 million is inefficient (until you're counting in the bazillions)
Can confirm. I worked as Airbus' tier 1 supplier and they were even accompanying us to manage our own supplier, which in hind-sight, ensured that things like this didn't happen.
Thinking about it less than a second: Prometheus. Drab colors, very neat and slick sets and costume designs. Heck even Interstellar. BR2049 although that's much more interesting in having all the neon, at least there's some color and some grit.
If you survive it - yes.

And if you can afford chatting on HN - most likely you are in the priveleged group who will survive.
I, for one, prefer Lynch's Dune to Villeneuve's. I was very hyped for the latter and left the theater disappointed.

You see, Villeneuve's Dune has a great cast, insanely great cinematography and sets, but it is also very sterile, devoid of life and has very unimaginative directing. Some scenes were direct adaptations from the book, like Gom Jabbar scene, Shadout Mapes scene, and were very confusing for people who didn't read the book. (why does that sand woman shout when Jessica says a certain word?). Paul's awakening is very bland, too. His mentats were useless. De Vries was just a sad freak who stood nearby and then died. Hawat was in three scenes where he had any lines, and in two of which he counted expenses, and offered his resignation in the third. If I didn't read the book I'd assume he's some kind of accountant.

On the other hand, Lynch's Dune also has a great cast, great music, great sets, and it also has the all-important dream-like mystic feel to it, which is completely absent in the new adaptation. Sure, it has a lot of script problems, which mostly boil down to far too short runtime, as moviegoers in 1984 weren't ready for 2 part movies, so it had to cram the second part of the book in the final 20 minutes or so. Had it been two movies, it would have been much better.

One big improvement in Villeneuve's adaptation is Momoa's Idaho, who basically saved the movie for me. Lynch's Idaho was very bland and died far too easily and non-consequentally. Other than his scenes, if I ever want to see some scene from Dune on Youtube, it'll be Lynch's (except "the Guild doesn't take your orders", if you know what I mean).
There are single chip NFC interfaced temperature meters of course.

There's literally section called `The STR template processor`.
Yes. '\' denotes an escape sequence, and "\{" was/is not a valid escape sequence.
and every single passenger also pays an extra fee unrelated to the actual act of travel, the airport improvement fee, aka a tax that's not a tax.
It's also a powerful one, matched only by few other languages.

I'm happy Java enhancements don't settle for half-baked features, and carefully avoid backwards compatibility issues. Yes the syntax is verbose like that of many recent features (like sealed classes) but honestly given modern tooling, who cares?
> Truffles (wherever legal)

Is this a slang term for a drug or are there places where truffles are illegal? I’ve never come across this.
Too optimistic, how did dinosaurs become extinct, and why won't similar things happen to humans? Even if AI is a problem inherent to humans, the core issue and the collision of asteroids with Earth are not fundamentally different, reflected in a certain aspect of this species' flaw
This is a good critique that's not even unique to LLM's. Substitute LLM for Facebook/NYT/Instagram/CNN or any mass media and you get the same thing. People are astroturfed by the media they consoom every day.
I agree that Enemy, Sicario, and Prisoner are very good movies, not among my favorites but certainly much better than his newer stuff.

About Gosling I’ll refrain from commenting as it can get ugly. :)
Because there are many unknown, probably worth of being picked by some volunteers.
I think it'd be worth creating some place (HN subsection?) where a list of dead or unmaintained, still worth of attention, projects could be kept so that potential maintainers could be made aware of their existence.
Just a simple list, all text, one line per project with a bunch of fields: YYYYMMDD formatted date of last update | Name (resolving to link to the project page) | Short description | clickable short list of say max 5 tags so that users can find similar ones just by refining the search to the desired tag(s).
737 might be at point where redoing it from scratch might be sensible. You can only iterate from same starting point that is over 50 year old design so long.

At certain point starting from new will make more sense. And it might be now.
In my experience with the BART it's not just cold nights and long runs, every ride is like that.
> The idea is that in the most important cases you will not use the `STR` processor but rather a JSON, HTML, or SQL processor.

That idea is evidently idiotic as demonstrated by javascript which has this exact feature, in a better form (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...): the most common template literals by far are untagged.
I think most people read the whole thing. I have. It's still very ugly
It's not better though. The STR template processor behaves the exact same way as all the other examples, and it's the one that all the inexperienced devs prone to this kind of injection attack will use.
There are also significance physical differences between the sexes, but not between races. Maybe hormones or genes have an effect? The former should be easily testable.

AFAIK the greatest genetic variability is within sub-Saharan Africa, the most likely variations will be within groups there. Comparing white to black Americans seems a waste of time at best, and looking for a desired result at worst.

Opponents of such studies are seem to make the racist assumption that the only difference that might be found is that white people are superior. Surely the opposite is just as likely (maybe even more so as black Africans have fewer non-homo sapiens genes).

I is also pretty certain that any difference (between races or sexes) would not be swamped by individual variation. The only noticeable difference would be in the far tails of the distributions.
Also the cast of Lynch's version is better -- you had first rate actors like Kyle Mclachlan as Paul, Max von Sydow as Kynes, Patrick Stewart as Halleck (and yes, Sting as Feyd-Rautha, although that's maybe not a plus as Sting is a much better singer than he is an actor).
Nope.

“Civilization”, for example Roman Empire - is a meta construct. Its death doesn’t imply death of all people in it.

So no problems with death of one company and creating a new one, eventually it benefits the employees.
Can I call out JavaScript for using backticks for a clean distinction between templated and untemplated strings:

- no strange leading character(s) (per C#, VB, Python, Scala, and now Java)

- templated strings are actually distinguished, so don't have to worry about accidentally running into template literals in normal strings (unlike Groovy, Kotlin, Ruby)

- the distinguishing mark appears at the end as well as the beginning, for slightly better legibility.

- Swift is quite nice in that the backslash is already an escape character for normal strings, so no issue with accidental use, but {} would have been a better choice than () as the former are rarer in normal strings.
Programmers read? Nah.

We must viscerally react and show our disdain for this thing in order to be approved of by the group.
Those are extremely weak arguments.

Elixir has string interpolation and custom "templates" or whatever they are called without the ugly syntax:

~h"custom one"
~s"custom two"

etc.
My 2c: companies lay people off to please shareholders in the short run, and the laid off employees continue to work in the industry, developing the ecosystem and provide opportunities for more profit in the long run
Same here, it felt very dull and bland. I'm not sure why people get excited over the big latest movies like that, just because it's a new version of Dune. In 10 years nobody will remember it.

If AE is your desired career path then buckle up… it’s a cut throat sh*t storm of putrid culture and gross mismanagement. Anything different is an exception.

I disagree this is (definitely) a layoff. She makes a good case for not having any sales yet, but we simply don’t have any facts. Do other AEs hired at the same time have sales? Did she have leads that should have closed?

Cloudflare did her wrong, no doubt. At the very least, Cloudflare should give her feedback on why she was let go.

But my advice to her is to expect more of the same nonsense if she continues to be an AE.

More unsolicited advice… when I argue with someone, I have to pause and determine, “what are they actually capable of doing in this situation?” Those HR people couldn’t answer any of her questions. So you can either (A) ask for something that is possible, (B) make them as miserable as you, (C) finish the conversation.

Well based on the geniune question above "Why does Uber bother paying this?" maybe this is needed and you're coming down rather hard on the poster.
Yeah, I mean until we have ternary transistors, emulating ternary circuits will be less efficient than actual binary circuits. If we ever have ternary transistors, then ternary circuits will be an improvement over binary ones.

Here's a little ternary logic riddle for the HN community:

Two people are sitting at a restaurant, deciding what to order. Neither had communicated with one another when the waiter appears and asks one of them "Is everyone ready to order?". They reply "Hm, I don't know". The other person immediately then says "Now we are." Why?

(As in, how did the second person know?)

You should be able to run Q3 and maybe even Q4 quants with 32GB. Even with the GPU as you can up the max RAM allocation with:

> you don't have a consistent paycheck month-to-month, anyway, but the money is very good and the turnover means jobs are abundant

as long as you have a buffer to lean against (savings, investments, family) it seems like a good bet, but the kinds of psychology necessary to succeed in your new low-risk / high-reward cohort tends to require distorting reality a little more than i'd like for technical fields

maybe in my next career, i'd love to try selling art, or luxury cars, or something else that naturally has no datasheet that someone can counter me with
The Windows development ecosystem is such a mess.

It's amazing how Apple never toyed with any managed runtimes this whole time.
Thats just prolog!
The number .001% should be changed to .1% or 1%.
Sure. And the rest of software developer's world is waiting in trepidation for Apple to tell them how to do things.
> sci-fi films even get nominated (including Best Picture and Screenplay), let alone win? What were the accolades for Lynch's movie?

Most of the time the awards are just about rewarding relationships in the business. They have no bearing on movie quality.
So… Snow Crash?
My guess of what may have happened reading between the lines is - Boeing originally possibly instructed Spirit to loosely fit the plug and not secure it because they planned to remove it to fit out the interiors. In this case Boeing would be accountable to secure the plug door after the interior is done to the right specs

Somewhere down the line, Boeing possibly decided not to remove the plug and instead just load interiors through the bigger openings only. They possibly either did not document this change and think through implications and instructions changes for Spirit to secure the door plug instead or did so but Spirit possibly missed. So the bunch of planes may have been delivered with loose plugs that Alaska and United found.

All the implications of outsourcing without sufficient supervision and hand-offs made in the parent point would have a bad effect. The question FAA is probably asking is if Boeing or Spirit has deviated from documented production practice in this area, have they deviated in other areas.
I've been using Send, which I really like: https://github.com/timvisee/send
I even made a community for that! https://www.codeshelter.co/

It's abandoned, though.
The approach of defining template processors is definitely better.
Moving from unsafe to safe is "just" switching STR to whatever secure processor team writes.
According to The CCP, there is no such thing as "Taiwan's domestic policies".
And genetics. Genetics matter. I don’t need drugs to create changes in perception or my visual hallucinations. I need drugs to stop them.
Sting was hardly seen in the movie though.
I really like Send, I'm not sure it's still maintained, but it works well, so I don't know what there is to maintain. It comes with a cli utility as well.

Pinker was right, I was wrong
You don’t see any possibility that the unprecedented in modern times failure of the 737 MAX might have caused anyone in the FAA leadership or Congress to reconsider their relationship? Some might see the language in this memo as evidence of that.
Hey you didn't murder anyone but you shouldn't mind going before a joke trial and proving you didn't in front of a bunch of racist antisemites who want you convicted no matter what.
The price for stuff will be greatly reduced for you, so you'll save a lot of money.

I think any kind of decision by a university that can be framed as "social justice" will be, and then be amplified by the media without end, no matter how small. Our institutions are so much more than a handful of decisions at the executive level (which are probably aligned with popular support of people who actually attend the university, go figure).
> Metal on Windows would not help much because the GPU hardware is what's different.

Apple shipped Intel Macs with Intel/AMD GPUs until quite recently, so hardware might not matter significantly.
This is one of those stories that wouldn't be noticed if not for the attention on anything Boeing related right now. Instead it's near the top of the front-page.

This hyper selective attention is very bad. It leads to all kinds of wrong inference about the background frequency of events, because suddenly when under the microscope we notice all kinds of things that would have previously gone unnoticed.
Both the syntax and the semantics are awful. They are overthinking it.

Processor should not require to allocate a list of objects do to string templating. Only STR and FMT get good perf because they are specialized by the compiler.
Probably not with QoS, but it probably can with hardware offload. It looks a lot like this:
https://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-R4

https://forum.openwrt.org/t/so-you-have-500mbps-1gbps-fiber-...

The chip would need to be powerful enough to process packets to do advanced QoS (like SQM) at line-rate. However, offload is supported on MT chips, so you can still perform hardware NAT functions, just not as configurable as those other methods for traffic control.

Maybe some VPP integration into the proper distribution, instead of packages and custom compiles, would make that work.

Why would they sell you a solution when they can rent you one forever? Why acquiesce to the logic of physical laws when the laws of economics say "$$$$$!!!"?
If you cant control/predict something (like asteroid) - there is no point in worrying about it, it is simply outside of the equation.

Afaik there are people watching the space for dangerous objects, so we’re better prepared than dinosaurs anyway :)

If you do worry about such things - again, fear and instincts speaking, not reason.

You can reason and be reasonably worried about things you can at least measure.

For example how long would current downtime take, or what lessons can we learn to fix things in the future etc.
Great video. Thank you and yes, I agree it feels just like that. The unfortunate thing here is that this is a reboot. I guess it is this why those shallow characters hurt even more.

And yes, it is so gorgeous. It looks so breathtaking, but it feels hollow... I felt the same thing with the new Blade Runner. I really wanted to love that.

Jean Baudrillard would have something to say about all that.

Funny though that he brings up the new Dune somehow (hopefully?) positively, and there is even a fast shot of the new Blade Runner. I wonder if Dune makes the turn in the second part, but I doubt it since I haven't seen Villeneuve making it in any of his movies I've seen.

What I liked was "The Killer" vs. the whole John Wick thing. It was such a brilliant twist on the "revenge" trope. I doubt that I'll be able to watch another movie based upon this trope again. For me, it reached perfection with that.
Yet another example of not just the inability, but the unwillingness to engage in managerial accounting.

These companies primarily focused on financial accounting and even use EPITDA as an internal metric. They do not consider the true costs, such as, people dying or being traumatized by the use of their products. They do not think about the costs of such decisions 20 years into the future. These executives are motivated primarily by their performance with regards to their own personal shares.

Quarterly reports are the rear view mirror. Making projections into the future is the road ahead of you. A focus on short term goals leads blown out windows and aircraft falling from the skies.

This is how the tech industry is managed as well. It is not “enshitification”, it is rather corporate incentive structures and a general level of incompetence. Pure tragedy, the hero CEO brings his own downfall upon himself with only the audience capable of understanding the reasons why.
as someone who struggled to get through the book as a kid and never saw Lynch's version, I really liked the new Dune as a spectacle, and I filled in some of the more confusing parts from plot summaries after i came home, but ultimately it did place Dune back on my "to read" list :) (and Lynch's Dune on my "to watch" after i read the book)
That's the point. The economic growth rate that EU residents demand is NOT supported by its current economic structure and degree of financialization -- hence mass social unrest, which is getting worse every year. The current system cannot continue, one way or another.

Sure, the EU could turn into Cuba or North Korea and avoid financialization... but most people will not accept that sort of stagnation in their material conditions. They want a new iPhone, new clothes, new washer, new car, new coffeemaker, holiday in Spain, etc. All that costs money, and ever more money.

You also did not address the elephant in the room at all -- most of the costs of keeping the EU from turning into "Russia's westernmost oblast" fall on the taxpayers of the United States via NATO. Avoiding that outcome without what is essentially a large and ongoing annual donation from the financialized United States is not possible, at least without undergoing a similar degree of financialization in the EU.

It seems like you wish to enjoy the economic benefits of financialization (new iPhones, not living like Cuba, and also not being conquered by Russia next week) while at the same time morally disparaging those who make those benefits possible.
One of the arguments is that existing $ in strings would have to be escaped. Every other language supported $ in strings before interpolation appeared. Not Java specific.

Every other language is susceptible to SQL injection style attacks. Not Java specific.
So many of the negative comments about Villeneuve's Dune in this thread are astonishing to me, but I will just pick this one: surely scale is something that Villeneuve does so brilliantly! From Arrival, though Blade Runner 2049, to his Dune, he has an amazing ability to make things seem vast (space ships, buildings, cities...) - it's almost a trademark of his work, to me, so colour me baffled that you would single this out for criticism.

(For context, I read and enjoyed the Dune books as a child, I've seen the Lynch film several times and find it broadly comical, I love Twin Peaks, and I think Villeneuve is arguably one of the best mainstream directors working right now.)
But the solution does need support from IDEs and parsers. STR."\{STR."\{a}"}" is a valid expression, now, that uses a variable, and looks nothing like any previously valid expression. Given that it is an entirely new kind of expression, it's also unclear why they would choose \{ over { or need the dot. Is there some reason that they couldn't have chosen STR"{a}"?
