The legal world already has an answer to machine generated art as it pertains to copyright and it somewhat agrees with you. The act of a machine generating images isn't copyrightable but the act of selecting one or more of those images becomes copyrightable art.

Teach /& Partner with Me to Build an App POC and Prep for YC?
Hello Humans,

I am looking for help to build an app. Someone to teach me or collaborate?

I am a deeply passionate UX Designer, Computer Scientist Grad & DevBootcamp (Cohort 2 - 2012) dropout. Before dropping out, many a speaker there, mainly Roy Bahat, built my confidence and taught me I was able to turn weakness into strength and become a designer instead. Within a year I won a contract at Google, my life was changed.

Rather than contracting a team to design & develop this app, I'd rather do it myself.

To use this as a last chance to prove I can code, that should you not want the role, I will happily take the helm of CTO one day, instead of CEO. I do however feel there are much more technical chaps out there that will do this better than me.One of our cofounders can be the CEO, so long as I stay close to our users, vision, mission, purpose and tech stack!

I am willing to consider paying someone to teach me between now and April. Better to partner with someone who is keen to start pair programming.

We will want to form a team. There are blockchain, social media, AR, AI elements to the APP so varied skills are welcome. I was intending to build this on REACT but open to being told otherwise.

I most sincerely want to change the world, starting with giving people ownership over their identity or their content. If this rouses your interest, please reach out.

May the force be with you all.
Best,
Pavan

> Ive [sic] relied on the same formula for office politics for decades:

> 1. write all the code

While this is personally gratifying, it designates a person as a "single point of failure", often expressed colloquially by management along the lines of "what if <person X> was hit by a bus?"

> 2. Noone can fire you

Everyone can be fired, no matter what value they provide to the organization, given enough pain experienced by stakeholders. Or politics.

> 3. Ignore all the politics and wait for everyone to quit and/or the company to lay everyone off. Nobody is left so now you're the manager ! Go get the next job

The evidence that blue light is bad for sleep is much worse from an experimental standpoint than the evidence that it improves cognition and reaction time, which are obviously rather important considerations in street lights. Consider for instance that placebo glasses which filter the so-called harmful blue light wavelengths have been shown to fully reverse the apparent effect on sleep quality. This is despite them just being clear glass with no appreciable filter effect on visible light.

It is literally true that human mind is suggestible to an unimaginable degree.

New categories of hardware don't need a killer app at launch to be successful.

Having spent some passionate time with StableDiffusion I can outline a few signs in the details of images this article has missed.

- tiny details never make sense. In real art or photos, no line or edge is useless or senseless. But since generated images are only hallucinations, the tiny lines often blend into something else, convert to something else, or simply fade out.

- scaling is wrong. Most of the times scaling won't make sense. Take a tiny part of the image, just looking at that part, can you guess how big or small other things in that image should be? A box lying on the floor looks way too small or big for example.

- perspective is off. That sponge + cheese image for example the angle of eyes or head or the appearant thickness on that angle isn't right.

Models are getting really good though. Previously you could look at texture of clothes and tell, that is almost gone these and you have to find some other pattern which is usually some other non-symmetry.

Tiny details, textures is the most visible and almost always recognisable sign of a generated (unaltered) image.
Promotions are not meritocratic. You get promoted if you are useful to the person promoting you; you'll play ball, follow orders, know a secret, can do a favor, are reliable, don't ruffle feathers, under promise and over deliver, make friends easy, etc. That's not merit, that's corruption.

This is true for one simple reason: Promotions are not weighed by an impartial algorithm, chosen by sorting, and doled out on a set schedule. They are submitted for consideration and approved by the powerful, when they feel like it, for whatever reasons they feel like.

The further up the hierarchy you go, the less exceptional people are. It's called the Peter Principle. Even if you used to be exceptional at your job, a promotion gives you a different job. And technical skill has almost nothing to do with ability to get promoted.

The only reason women might be promoted more is they're working twice as hard as the men. I'm sure if you asked them, they would rather have been men, when it comes to getting promotions. The bar would be a lot lower.

> "Get out of your own way" means (in this book) that not showing or communicating your worth or value will leave you behind peers who do go out of their way to show their worth and value. I.e., If you keep your head down and just do good work, you won't get noticed.

I was at a AAA++++ brand FAANG.

The politics, from the second I joined, were so over-the-top. It was like Wrestlemania. Everyone was smashing eachother and throwing elbows and it was like a spectator sport about who could club who first and the loudest.

I had just gotten out of a super toxic prior employer and had zero motivation to engage in corporate politics so I just decided to wait and watch and try to understand how to be effective.

I waited. And watched. And waited. And watched. And raised some ideas. All shot down. Finally I came to the realization that if I wanted to "play this game" I would need to get into the ring and start shutting people down, throwing elbows, telling other people their ideas suck etc.

After thinking about it a long time, I decided:

(a) I didn't want to do any of the above
(b) I cared about building things good for customers
(c) I hated the VPs involved and had nothing in common with them
(d) I didn't want their jobs, because it would require doing what they were doing

I ended up leaving for a startup.

It was a very good company. I still think about if it was the right thing to do. But I was not growing, not getting to do anything, it was antithetical to my personal and career growth, I wasn't learning. It was just a wrestling ring with morons yelling at eachother and acting out their insecurities loudly.

I couldn't do it.

Contrast to prior employer: EVeryone was political, but in a sneaky, underhanded way. It was all covert assassination.

At a startup, there was no bullshit. It was: There is the work, do the work. The end.

No politics.

With remote work: Politics is even worse in my opinion. Remote workers are at a huge disadvantage.

> the further up the hierarchy we sample the more likely we are to get exceptional people

This is never consistently true, certainly not in large organizations where quality of personnel can be very variable.
A story my dad (who wrote for various magazines in the 80s and 90s) used to tell:

> My friend Ken worked for what was then a first-tier Japanese hifi company. At the time -- it was the eighties -- companies exhibiting at CES gave shit away. Shirts, pens, calculators... you know: trade show crap. Rather than have his giveaway get lost in that sea of crap, my friend decided to give out pocket-sized mirrors, each encased in a blue silicon sleeve emblazoned with the company logo. His Japanese masters said "Ken-san, why you give away small mirror. We don't understand." And Ken-san said "trust me, they'll love it." And they did, because a) it was the eighties, and 2) while some preparatory activities are best done on a cardboard record jacket, others require an unyielding surface. I should add that the notion of including a single-edge razor blade in the package crossed his mind, but was rejected as being too on-the-nose.

It's not just my definition of fair wage, it's the insight that "fair" can only be determined by the parties involved in the transaction, providing they have adequate information such as minimum and market wages for their craft, the value created by their effort, etc.

This is the key insight that OP is missing which makes them incorrectly think that "fair" can never be determined because it is some kind of objective goal post. It's not, it's highly subjective and local.
Losing your job may not seem like a favor at first, it depends on how high you bounce after the fact. Being self employed for 20 years after being laid off was the best favor anyone ever did for me. I would have never taken that initial risk without being pushed into it. Now risk is comfortable.

Every. Single. Amazing endeavor that’s ever happened has people who describe contributing to that endeavor this way. Every one.

It brings to mind the kind of world that could exist without profit motives, where people do things simply because they’ve never been done before. Like maybe the world that Star Trek illustrates.

> As every court around the world has said.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/dutch-regulator-disputes-...

We're actually not 100% certain whether or not Dutch regulators are OK with those fees. We know that they consider Apple to still not be in compliance with the regulation, and there have been hints that the fee structure may be a part of that. But as far as I know we haven't gotten specific confirmation from Dutch regulators in either direction.

We know that 30% was too high, so according to the Dutch there is an upper limit to what Apple can charge proportional to its normal fees for in-app payments: https://www.reuters.com/technology/dutch-antitrust-watchdog-...

27% might be OK?

We'll have to wait until after Apple's responses to the most recent fines to work their way through courts to know whether the concerns listed most recently by Dutch regulators are the full list or not. It seems a little premature to say that every court in the world is fine with Apple's system when it doesn't seem that Apple has built a compliant Dutch system for us to even point to as an example of what that system could look like.

As it stands, we know that Apple's 3rd-party payment system is not compliant, but we don't know exactly why it's not compliant, and we won't know what a fully compliant system looks like for the Dutch government until after Apple has managed to come up with a proposal that doesn't get them fined for noncompliance.
Wearing multiple layers of wool clothes would certainly help.
An old joke about new product development at Apple went “First design the icon, then make the t-shirts.”

Setting up an LLC and the other superficial trappings of a real business amounts to making the t-shirts. You have no customers, no idea how to get customers, no insight into the market from a contracting perspective.

You can find plenty of freelancing & contracting advice online, useful and not so useful, if you do the work. Mostly it distills down to contacts and reputation. Posting the equivalent of “I’ve set the table, how do I cook the meal?” seems like a big ask.

I guarantee you that this is not the case. Go watch an old CRT, even the eye-wateringly expensive ones sucked compared to even a mediocre OLED. We just think they were great because of the SD pieces of crap we compared them to. Ditto for all of the technology Millennials have ennui for.
My experiences with DoorDash, etc. drivers are that no amount of tipping ($15-20-25-30-40 for $20-60 orders) ensures they follow directions or give a shit. So I refuse to use the bad gig-based services because their drivers aren't paid properly and aren't incentivized to do an adequate job.

Amazon delivery drivers are third-party and apparently ran similarly. Most of them can't be bothered to ever follow directions, even written in both English and Spanish. The simplest solution for me is to not use such services if they suck so badly because their process creates a bad outcome. The result is not always or completely the driver's fault, especially if they're given too many tasks and not given the tools and support to accomplish the mission.

Another issue is that many things and work ethic in American continue to get worse and crumble, and most Americans just shrug and accept it because raising it is widely considered a modern faux pas.

It's not even necessary to contaminate it. All that's necessary is behind unable to rule out contamination.
For example when my algorithm is driven by interrupts and "user code" need to do nothing. One approach is to use something like WFI instruction in the loop, but this instruction has its own issues, for example I experienced issues with attached gdb on some chinese STM32 clones. Using busy loop worked just fine.

Using "unused" volatile also works, but it incurs SRAM traffic, which might slow down DMA and cause other effects. So ideally it should be simple empty loop compiled to `b .` instruction (jump to itself).

Another infinite loop usage is for abort() or exit() handler, as a crash place. For this use-case, using "unused" volatile does not cause issues, because device is already crashed, however it still feels wrong.
A conversion guide, if necessary found on a device you understand would have worked wonders. Your critique is undermined by its paucity. Rage quitting is uninformative. Do you quit all things this rapidly? Some good things take a little longer to learn and a lot longer to master. They can still be good with a learning curve a little north of your efforts.

Hate to say it bit I think the issue is PBCAK. Sure, it's not for everyone, including people I love. But this is not a valid critique: it's a polemic in one test. The test failed, true.

> The FAANGs and similar corporate environments and even academia have unhealthily competitive "up or out" cultures.

If given a choice between "up or out" and "up" is not what one wants to do (for whatever reasons), then "out" is the only path which might lead to happiness, as "here" is not an option allowed.
I don't think we should consider the tech stolen. The concept of "stealing" a tech in this context is silly; we should want more people to do what Apple did.

I am happy to be abnormal then. I value friends first and foremost, family dead last. If my family wants something from me, they can line up with everyone else; if I consider them a friend I'll value them like all my other friends.

Put another way, I don't treat blood ties as anything special because doing so leads to bullshit. If that's abnormal, so be it; not my loss or problem.
I did it, got pretty much my entire face done, skin and bone. The only part untouched was the skin above my upper lip. I went from a 4 on a good day to a 7 but probs more because I'm my own worst critic. You would never know I had anything done unless you knew from the perfectly ideal nose curve. 6 hours on the operating table, 4 days of misery, couple of metal plates, some screws, and 6 months ish of not being able to feel the top of my head which was more novel than anything else. Best money I've ever spent.

A lot of the photos you see of "plastic surgery face" are before the swelling comes down and you look normal again.
I absolutely believe this is true, but it makes me sick and I don't want to be a part of it.
